Seems like a nice paper. Reminds me of work by Merhav and others on phase transitions in estimation and inference, although I appreciate the perspective taken in this paper.

I also wonder what happens as you generalize to non-closed-form generating models.
This gives me vibes of Windows Vista, where you got x-Modals if you just want to open anything... :D
I should say rather that I have an understanding of the "good guy with a gun" theory, but it is that it is a public excuse which sounds better than other motivations. It sounds better than "I just like guns" or "I like to get my way by threat when I can't get it by persuasion" or "I am gratified by the fear and anxiety of my enemies", etc.

>Historically, while immigration does have some downsides especially if your system has a lot of entitlements, the pros outweigh the cons.

You have to be far, far more specific. Both real estate and the job markets are already suffocating the average young adult in most developed countries. Your solution proposes to put more pressure on both of those markets, for the sake of another population. Young adults aren't going to see the benefits of this for a long time. Younger generations likely won't for a good while, either.

Additionally, by pumping in more people from outside, you're specifically pressuring skilled workers who put more thought to popping out babies than just doing the deed. There will be some semblance of resentment potential parents feel they can't reasonably have kids in a country already squeezing them things out at the current population size, despite wanting to. You know, the exact same thing happening in most countries today.

Even if Japan doesn't have similar problems with RE, the population isn't exactly waiting for immigrants willing to accept poor work conditions and pressure other candidates to do the same.

>Imo it’s a big reason why the US eventually surpassed Europe

You just going to conveniently skip multiple events leaving Europe in shambles and setting the US up to be in prime position to take over the global economy?

Different ammos/guns produce different sound levels. A subsonic 22LR can be incredibly quiet. Black powder guns (as it seems to be the case here) are loud and produce a lot of smoke.
To me this says nothing about how the author would respond to feedback given in a constructive tone.

After reading this I’d still offer constructive feedback in a kind manner in a heartbeat. If, hypothetically, the author still sent me a rude response then I’d simply never contact them again for anything.

The stakes are super low here.
yeah, I'm also curious if we could use VS Code backend + Vim front-end.
Software is going the way other industries go: no real competition, no quality.

In this case, it proved both rules.

One of the ostensible purposes of the Second Amendment is for Americans to be able to hold their own government in check via the private capacity to cause violence.

I'm Chinese and I'll have to disagree with the idea that Chinese "fear speaking up". That is a stereotype. China isn't that sort of place. There are 500 protests a day — not to overthrow the government, but to ask them to do better or to address grievances. Criticisms are all over the place if you look online.

Most likely you were just in a community with people who are unhappy about China. I live in Netherlands and most Chinese here (specifically: those who came from the mainland) are supportive of China. Those from Taiwan or who were born here are a mixed bag.
"don't complain that a worthless product is worthless" however sarcastically put, is not a very compelling retort. Because its not worthless, should not have ambition to be worthless, and is an expensive time sink for people who don't ultimately get use out of it.

I've settled on a portable version of Notepad++ 8.3.3. after spending months trying everything from sublime to atom. I wish for so many things, none of the editors available today are customizable enough to fit my work flow.

I've been using it for about 15 years and too have never been able to figure out all those settings for User Defined Languages, Styles, Global Overrides and the rest. Thankfully, I never needed any of those: the only changes I made to the default settings is more aggressive auto-save, trimming trailing spaces on saving, and always using 4 spaces instead of tabs.

So Notepad++ does gets my praise: it does what I want of it: quickly edits text configs and serves as a stick-it board.

Dear Neighbour,

Yeah yeah yeah, the cookies you made for me again last week are OK but honestly I'm sick of them. You're not getting any praise from me. Sorry dude.

I've been eating your home-made cookies for years and still can't figure out why you make them so dry. It's complete BS. All I want is a little moisture in the middle of my cookies. I do NOT understand why you have them crunchy. It makes no sense.

I have had it, and will move on from trying to understand your thinking. Your cookies used to be nice, but now they're a massive piece of garbage, maybe you should check out the cookies in a supermarket.

Until I was 42, I had never seen a real gun except on the belt of a police officer. I lived near an Army barracks for a decade and never saw a soldier carrying a gun.

In my twenties one of the crazy types at work brought a very realistic replica gun to work. He's the type that in some countries would bring a real gun to work, but here... it was just a toy to freak people out with.

His strange proclivities weren't what really freaked me out. The toy gun did. I could name the manufacturer instantly when I saw it. I knew how every part worked, and what every part was called. I could operate it without difficulty or confusion. I knew that it had a grip safety, a manual safety, and a trigger safety. I knew what all of those meant. I knew how to reload it, and what to do to release the slide from its locked-back position.

It was like... a dragon.

We've all seen dragons on TV and read about them in books. We can describe a dragon in detail. We can talk about their behaviour, their capabilities, and their nature. Most of us can name specific dragons.

But they're a thing of myth, not something real.

Until some guy brings a dragon to work and you realise that they aren't just figments of our imagination.

Somewhere out there, there's a country where every second person has a dragon like we have dogs here.

There must be a lot of fires there instead of just... barking.
Outside of US and some select places (India, UK etc, which have active terrorism threats), people don't know gun violence on a day to day basis. Violent crimes involving guns in Japan are very very rare. The response takes a few moments to register.

If a meteoroid suddenly crashed in front of your car while you were driving, would you switch off the engine & inspect the paintjob & fenders? Probably not. It's a situation which you know can happen statistically but you're not prepared to respond in a flash.
> Superfish was not a kernel rootkit by any measure of the word.

I didn't say it was, you kinda ignored the context. The person who I replied to was asking how can they trust their Windows is genuine, I replied to them that the feature causing a stir here does protect against some types of malware.

It's a fair assumption that the next thing akin to Superfish would try to implant itself deeper, if given the chance, Device Guard does eliminate some of those ways.

> for preinstalled software such as drivers

If that driver is actually malicious then Early-Launch Antimalware alongside the kernel being protected, can get rid of it.

> There would be absolutely no difference on whether you used Secure Boot or not.

I wasn't talking exclusively about Secure Boot.

> But worst of all: Superfish was actually _signed_ itself.

Sure, now there's a toggle that won't trust some signatures that aren't as heavily vetted (amongst many other things). How is that "ridiculous" or "won't make a difference". Are you just looking for a reason to argue?

It's interesting to see how much of this common advice doesn't apply to certain people. For example:

1) Cooldown the room to 17°-18° C before sleep

That's freezing. I have trouble sleeping if it's colder than 23°-24° C

2) Warm up the room to ~22° C before waking up

Yeah, that's already too cold.

3) Don't consume calories 3 hours before bed

I can't fall asleep hungry (unless I'm dead tired I guess), so if I'm still hungry when it's time for sleep I better go eat.

4) Forget about the snooze button and setting multiple alarms

I can just as well forget about waking up for whatever it is that I need to wake up for.

Still - all of this is worth trying. It probably does help most of the poeple.
Webmachinelearning sounds like a problem nobody has. Why would I want a standardized browser API for doing stuff that I can obviously already do without such an API?
Microsoft's server implementation is here: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/blob/main/src/server-mai...

Open VS Code Server takes this barebones implementation and fleshes it out enough to be minimally usable: https://github.com/gitpod-io/openvscode-server (i.e. run it from a CLI command, do basic token auth, etc.)

Coder's code-server (what you link) is similar to open vs code server but predates it and has a bit nicer server implementation, like it can be configured to run behind a reverse proxy or under different web paths more easily. I really like the linuxserver.io container that packages it up and runs it with ease: https://hub.docker.com/r/linuxserver/code-server
There are plenty of cases where filming a police officer was used to show that the police officer was breaking the law and not the citizen. This includes some of the high profile cases where police brutality killed innocent people.

> I stay quiet

I send a few words of encouragement describing how awesome the author's software is, and how it made my life (easier). Most seem to be happy to receive such feedback, some don't care. It hurts no-one either way and only takes a couple of minutes.
Wow, what a horrible attitude. He isn't claiming to be Mother Teresa, he just wants people who are benefiting from his work to not treat him like shit. It's not a big ask.

I have no doubt the author would be very receptive to constructive feedback. But it's hard to listen politely when someone sends a snotty email like that, and belies their own ignorance with questions like "what is a global override anyway???" (Hint: ask that nicely first, because then your other questions might become obvious).

I'm sure author has no shortage of constructive feedback to benefit from. This? This is trash. And that he's turned it into fodder for his own amusement and others, is just one more gift to us all, that yes, he happened to also derive his own pleasure from.

That was a great show. Not as accurate in its depiction of computer engineering as a series like Mr Robot, but the “prescient” aspects of Person of Interest were frighteningly disturbing, and proved to be all too true.
It doesn't look like it from up close because it happens over decades, but if you take a step back it's actually happening frighteningly fast. The decline and fall of the Roman empire took about 250 years. With the way things are going in the US it'll be done in less than a hundred.

I liked Notepad++ till I got a hold of Sublime Text and went for a proper license. I have not looked back. I only ever install Notepad++ on a work computer where I might not have any other options, thankfully most places I work at let me just install anything.

Also want to note, do not use a highlighter to censor peoples names and emails, its a little too visible in the second screenshot. Seriously the amount of people doing self-doxing I've seen online that use highlighter to "censor" is astounding. Even when you think its not visible all someone has to do is invert the image colors. Just use a solid non-transparent brush on the thing you want to censor.

You've described an actionable bug report.

People who fix bugs, or who work in tech support, understand what is needed in a defect report. Most ordinary users don't; they expect the responder to ask them for the specific information they need. Anyone whose done tech support over the phone knows this.

Some bug-reporting forms nowadays require you to answer roughly those questions, which is a good thing.

End-user feedback doesn't have to be an actionable bug report. If a user contacts you to say simply "I don't like it", that's legitimate feedback; something about your product is annoying enough to cause this user to reach out, rather than silently abandoning your product. The snarky "we will refund your purchase price" response isn't going to elicit information about what caused the annoyance, given that everyone knows the vast majority of users don't pay for Notepad++.
The death toll for the Fukushima nuclear plant (as opposed to to deaths from the tsunami) is either zero or one.

If you want to make a nice looking desktop app there are only 2 games in town:

- the native platform framework.
- electron/web

As much flack as slack gets for example it looks 50x better than any QT, GTK, Java, or WxWidgets app I’ve ever seen.

Another thread here was talking about how they WxWidgets to make an app that looked native on each platform with a small binary.

Unfortunately not a single one of these screenshots looks like it belongs in a modern desktop. https://www.wxwidgets.org/about/screenshots/

This is basically a good take. The intent of the second amendment was multifaceted, but the most important aspect of it was probably that it allowed for a state level check on power of the federal government. Remember, all 10 amendments in the Bill of Rights were originally checks on federal power only. The second amendment was a distribution of the capacity for violence from a federal government that would need it (the Founders believed) occasionally for country-level protection to the individual states that were still extremely responsible for their own affairs and may not have ratified a Constitution that stripped them of the ability to defend themselves from threats.

But almost a hundred years later, the calculus changed when several States banded together and tried to dissolve the country by violence. As a consequence of the 14th Amendment, rights previously recognized only at the federal level became enforced at the state level as well. This creates a bit of a philosophical contradiction in the original intent of the Second Amendment to provide citizens States the capacity to defend themselves from overreaching federal power, and evolution of that contradiction is how we eventually got to the notion that the Second Amendment protects an individual's right to keep and bear arms independent of any particular military application of those arms, despite the word "militia" being in the amendment itself.
> You could get hit a dozen times with a small energy projectile and still stay standing

I don't think so - the main reason (apart form saving weight) why we have small fast projectiles in rifles (instead of huge heavy balls like before) is hydrostatic shock. Also faster bullets penetrate armor better but that's another topic.

Projectile crossing certain speed threshold (for mostly liquid bodies we all have) will produce massive temporary cavity in the body, and shockwave from this will ripple through surrounding tissue. Imagine 7.5mm wide bullet blasting 10-15cm hole within the body, although entry point is not much bigger than bullet.

Just watch any shooting video with ballistic gels, they do tend to slow it down to see how much damage bullet is doing.

Any organ will become mushy pieces and goo. Even currently standard military 5.56mm is capable of this from close distance, if its not slowed/fractured by some big bones. And they are phasing it out for bigger and similarly fast (if not faster) cartridge for all these reasons.
Nothing wrong with some externalism[0].

I have an ‘exobrain’, which houses countless notes and snippets of information I’ve gathered over many years. I’ve offloaded passwords to my password manager, use a piece of software called Standard Notes for note taking, and screenshot anything I find interesting for perusal at a later stage.

The trick is to revisit your notes, which means you make a small pact with yourself to execute on those notes and make them actionable.

The big advantage of microservices is organizational not technical. You can hire teams and tell them that they are responsible for an API that receives specific data and should return specific data. These teams can operate independently. You don't have to force all the teams to use the same language or dev process. That could be good or bad depending on the circumstances, but at least you have the option with microservices.
Yeah, there's a difference though between these aspirations - which I happen to share - and what is a statistically observable human bias that ought to shape our expectations of what's realistically going to happen.
