How do you figure? I got chickenpox in the 90s.
In Apicius there are recipes related in Book 1 where Romans would preserve different food items by sealing them in jars with plaster in water that had been boiled down to half its volume. While this isn't exactly the same as modern pressure canning the idea of sealing something in a jar and heating it to preserve the contents is 2000 years old, or older as some experts believe Apicius was written starting with Greeks as far back as perhaps 400BC.
I mean what I said, thanks.

What we're discussing is people using search engines to identify mechanics. This is not a thing that has been built.

This is an idea, not a real thing.

You haven't shown any actual examples of this having been built.

We can see that Wikipedia page, sure, but there are lots of Wikipedia pages for things that were never built. Those are not real things. It has to have existed to be real.

It's kind of wild having to explain what the word "real" means.

If these devices are real, can you show me one that actually exists or existed, instead of Wikipedia pages talking about what they would be?

The page referenced does not mention any real ones.

It seems like you're making claims that they are real, to respond to someone asking for examples, and didn't give any examples

I have to admit, it's pretty exhausting how solar fans always end up relying on devices that have never been built to explain why they're the right choice
I blame Microsoft (as the root cause) for Linux's rise. Without the danger of games only being available through the Windows store, Valve would never have needed a safety - meaning we'd have no proton, no contributions from Valve, and no Steam Machines or the Steam Deck. I'll be the first to admit the former didn't sell well and the latter is too early to really count, but it's undeniable Valve's had a large, positive impact on Linux adoption.
Come on. The WHO comically mishandled Covid. It took them months to declare a health emergency despite because they didn’t want to upset China. They wrongly advised against travel bans or curtailing travel. It took them almost two years to admit Covid could travel through the air.

And during all this the WHO bent over backward to praise and defend China. The same country that covered this up and who’s actions ultimately led to a global outbreak.

The WHO was so China centric that Bruce Aylward was outright ignoring questions if they contained the word “Taiwan.” It become so comical that the Japanese deputy PM said they should change the name to “Chinese Health Organization.”

China lied about the nature of the pandemic, lied about the severity, gave fake statistics and information, and the WHO never questioned or looked further into any of it.

The WHO is a joke. They have been dragged through the mud during Covid because they deserved to be dragged through the mud. We might not be in this situation if the WHO were a competent organization willing to rise to the challenge of an actual health emergency.
sure, people aren't static, and needs and wants change over time. sometimes they diverge.

I certainly didn't mean that one should betray their own needs or boundaries to accommodate their spouse. My intent was more to convey that fostering a caring, loving, respectful, and interdependent relationship drastically lowers the probability of a divorce. Life still happens.

Of course our existing systems aren't perfect either. I do think there's probably a case for a lower bounds on when alimony is viable. e.g., if the paying party is/would be below the poverty line, but I'm far from well enough informed to speculate what a good system would be.
I have successfully managed to negotiate higher than the supposed maximum.

I applied for a regular SE role and when I stated my expectations the recruiter said that this is over 10% more than the maximum. I stated that if I go any lower than that I will have no reason to switch companies. He offered some sort of a signing bonus (which was rather small) and the promise of quickly getting into a more senior role, which would put me in a higher pay range. I didn't budge.

They came back 3 days later and actually offered me the senior role, the pay I wanted and a signing bonus that was 4x what previously offered and I accepted.
The video in question seems to have been (incorrectly) flagged as either a revenge porn or upskirt video, which people have struggled to get taken down before the damage was done.
It's not just vertical integration for the sake of it. There are many, many, many things that are simply made easier by having every component able to talk to eachother. UE5's particle system can talk to the sound system back and forth, which can trigger gameplay events and send data to the renderer, etc. This leads to extremely complex interactions being rather easy to do, and that is exactly what large games want nowadays. You don't want to painstakingly time your cutscene to begin exactly 2m15s after the beginning of the level because you know that's where the song will begin but shit wait the intro can loop, no, you just have a gameplay event that starts the sound, the sound regularly says "hey, if you're ready, please trigger the cutscene now" and everything works together.

Getting this with a bunch of libs glued together is simply impossible. This is a design that was thought of for years before it happened properly.
What this experiment shows is that making stuff up off the top of your head, using memory alone, isn't as hard as it looks.

But when doing actual research, we check our work against the real world. For example, that's how you get a list of real references rather than fake ones.

Suppose we played a guessing game: given a title, does the Wikipedia article exist or not? You could fairly confidently say that "Apple" exists and "wjifdvq" does not, but given a plausible-looking name of a person or place that you don't recognize, you'd have a harder time. It's not a problem in practice though, because you can look it up.
> Looking at Windows 11 with a brand new perspective, at actually looks decent.

Only if you believe the marketing and Influenza(TM) marketing bullshit. Every Windows user who I know and upgraded to 11 is majorly regretting it. Windows 11 is widely seen as the Windows Vista following Windows 10 by its users.

What a useless and jaded assumption that code written in the past is bad.
That's the brute force approach anyway. Even if you do take an inordinate amount of data to sample from you'll likely get something that's woefully impractical to operate, even if it produces vaguely human like responses.

We do on the other hand know for a fact it's possible to run an instance of consciousness in a volume of about a liter that consumes like 20 watts (aka your average human brain), so there's something probably wrong with our general approach to the matter. GPT-3 already uses about twice as many parameters as our organic counterparts do, with much worse results. And it even doesn't have to process a ridiculously large stream of sensor data and run an entire body of muscle actuators at the same time.
So what is the correct word?
Seems like it's even more of an STD than herpes then.
I agree that that's going way too far. But I also sympathize with people and see the side of people who feel like they've lost some trust in all this after the last few years. There's a spectrum of reactions.
> using any gap in the standard to miscompile code

For code to be miscompiled, there has to be a definition of what correctly compiling it would mean, and if there were, it would not be undefined behavior.
Context matters in my opinion. If you say this to a person whose jewish family has survived the Holocaust, then I would say this statement is an indirect verbal attack. You could as well say "Your family should have been killed". Verbal attacks are an attempt to hurt people, just like physical attacks are, and therefore in my opinion it is fair to ban them to some extent.

I don't even think this has anything to do with free speech, as in freedom to express your thoughts. The key with free speech is that everyone is entitled to that. Verbal attacks are often an attempt to stop others from expressing their thoughts, so I think they are fundamentally an action against free speech.

That being said, as a German, I don't agree with the German blanket bans of certain expressions. Context and intentions always matter, I think.
> I feel that I am very efficient using it, more so than when I was using tilling window managers (wmii, i3, dwm, etc.).

Gnome/GTK is the only software I can think of, which slowly but surely reduced the end-user efficiency.

One starts working one day, and finds out that mnemonics (menu shortcuts) have been disabled. Another day, the file manager side-by-side panel has been removed. Another day, a convenient filemanager shortcut (new folder) has been forgotten in the transition to a new version (and nobody cares). Another day, and the file search has been replaced with an incredibly slow, and buggy search. Another day, and one finds that tiling capabilities of the terminal are severely limited because the devs are hostile to APIs that would allow such functionality (see Tilix debate). Files sorting in the file manager? Overrated¹. And let's not get into the Gnome branding debate².

In the FOSS land, I find Gnome/GTK to be the most user-hostile approach to design I've ever experienced. The statement "I have no idea what XFCE is or does sorry" says pretty much everything about the project(s) attitude².

Thanks so much for the thoughtful insight, this is extremely helpful context during a very upsetting / depressing time as a hacker lab member in a city with no other comparable spaces.

If you have any specific advice on ways to seek out angel investors or any general advice on things members could potentially do to help please shout it out or reach out!

Thanks again :)
Aren't they? (I mean, obviously not everyone, but I assume you mean particularly controversial like Marmite or the fermented fish products of the Nordics?) I (British) always thought 'sardines on toast' was pretty plain, standard fare. A step up from 'beans on toast' perhaps, but no less commonplace.
Fruity varieties are almost always a light or medium roast - often you can see this in the colour of the roasted beans, which will be much lighter; I'm colour blind, but I think they're more brown/tan than black.
> - and more money

gasp

> Gen-Z graduates want more flexibility, more security, more money

Oh! Well then. Makes sense.

Title's tone: "can you believe how entitled these kids are?"

Let's permute the title to see how it affects the meaning implied:

a) Gen-Z graduates want more money, more flexibility - and more security

Title's tone: "can you believe these kids expect job security?"

b) Gen-Z graduates want more security, more money - and more flexibility

Title's tone: "can you believe these kids expect {whatever flexibility means in this context, it's unclear}?"

But wait, more questions I have.

Why include 'Gen-Z'? Why not "College graduates"? Do we, the reader, need the label 'Gen-Z' to understand the article? Seems unnecessary, so let's make another edit:

> College graduates want more flexibility, more security, more money

Better, but there's still something there, in "College graduates". Young people. New workers. People who haven't worked as long as me. These people demand more pay? Do they know what I had to go through? Ridiculous.

So, we have some lingering age stratification of workers, meant to evoke resentment in older workers towards younger workers. One final edit:

Workers want more flexibility, more security, more money.
It would be interesting to break the behavior issues down into a few prevalent subcategories to get some understanding of what is happening.
They remember the dog bites because its cases where the government acted illegally and were taken to task.

Today, the governing actor of our virtual public squares are corporations - and a significant amount of people (maybe not you) seem to be ok with them taking what actions they wish.
Your post seems to be highlighting technical skills as an area where modern people don't benefit from elder knowledge. As a GenXer who started on the Commodore PET at 12, I see both sides of this: the Boomers generally suck, and yet, a fair percentage of millennials (my own kids included) have only basic computer literacy (except when it comes to phones/tablets).

I agree with your point that there is potential value in elder wisdom when it comes to soft skills and general EQ. And yet, the Boomers generally suck (particularly when looked at through the lens of their ability to resist media influence) and millennials (and Y/Alpha) seem to have started much further along the journey than previous gens.

I guess my conclusion is that subsequent generations should be yelling at boomers to get off our lawns and only buy your kid touch-based computing devices. /s
Is there any steel man for what ChessBase is doing here? Even their argument at the end of the article that perhaps they should be punished, but it wouldn’t be fair not to allow them to continue to monetise stockfish seems pretty weak.
of course -- read literally, it's not true. I just left a comment[0] that clarifies what my intent to convey was. tldr: it lowers the probability of divorce.

one person can't reduce that chance to zero, because as you mentioned, the other person very much has free will.

The US had more than enough time to control covid by when China confirmed human-to-human spread.
It's better to face opposition like that than to be disappeared from the public square.
I believe they did this on purpose as a rhetorical device.
I don’t think it’s a trick at all, it’s actually much worse than being kicked out of a public square. Making YouTube videos or Tweets or Facebook posts can be your job and facilitate your entire form of income. You spend 10 years cultivating a following and if you say or do the wrong thing, you don’t just lose the public square, you basically get fired. Yea you can try to diversify but the average person doesn’t do this, they build something somewhere specific. These platforms are tremendously important, both for speech and for peoples livelihoods. Banning people and the appeals should be much more of a delicate process than currently. Right now these moderators are akin to police departments with no court system. One day we will enact laws that force companies of certain sizes to have an appeal process, or in some way dedicate resources to accurate appeals, or maybe just force companies to keep records of the ban and give users the right to sue for mistakes, similar to workers have for with employers. We almost need an entirely new public court system to manage that process so the burden isn’t on companies or users. I don’t have the answers but at some point consumer rights will be needed to stop abuse or lethargy in moderation of important decisions.
Aside from "what is too much" questions, skipping DAS in the nes version of Tetris by tapping is something almost anyone who plays the game will do if they play it long enough and isn't at all unintended behavior. It just makes sense for certain situations.

And while it's not true for most 2d platformers of smb's era, performing repetative button actions to move faster than the standard acceleration curve allows became very possible in 16bit games and a later, and you'll see those used in speedruns all the time. Usually a repeated dash, but sometimes weird stuff like running backwards, jumping in certain ways (smb actually has one of these), or rhythmically pumping the shoulder buttons.
Again, this is missing the importance of the ratio of supply to demand.

> If there are 2 zillion positions available, there’s a much larger chance to find something in my area and meeting all my requirements/wishes. But if there are just 100 jobs, I might end up without a job, or with a job I’m not very happy about.

If there are 5 zillion candidates seeking those 2 zillion positions, it's a much smaller chance you'll get one you want. You might end up without a job, or with a job you're not very happy about.

It depends. Maybe the alternative is to get better at a tool you already know. Maybe you can be a jack of all trades, master of none, or you can go really deep into only 2-3 things. It depends a lot on your personality I think.

> every college-aged student that I know

I suspect this is often a "self-perpetuating myth." Every college-aged student I know tends to have similar interests to me and my siblings, and we all grew up buying or building PCs and playing PC games, and... they have followed suit. All 9 of my and my spouse's nieces/nephews (all in the 13-19 age range) have a PC. More have Android phones than iPhones, but a few have those. Some of them have asked me for help when choosing what to buy.

Similarly, in my group of friends, many of them are PC gamers, and all seem to own PCs. At work, it has been a mix depending on where I worked, but my current contracted employer supplies everyone with a PC laptop, while my direct employer decides based on that kind of development. 3D design or VR environments? You get a gaming PC. API or web app dev? You'll probably get a Macbook Pro. My previous employer of about 300 employees was 100% a PC environment.

It's all anecdotal, of course, from just where I sit. I do think, having done work on Windows and macOS, there's cross-platform tools for an increasingly large share of the kinds of work to be done, so the decision is probably made based on someone at a high level either having a preference/comfort level, or perhaps doing some due diligence to compare enterprise level support, hardware capabilities and price, and thinking about how that'll affect the bottom line when distributing hardware to 20, 100, 1000 employees.
Wouldn't exsolation just be albedo and/or radiative cooling?
Interesting that another commenter got a similar clip banned from same source that also ended in a middle grey blank screen. I have a feeling that the algorithm is using luma only without color information, and in the absence of contrast (blank middle grey) it trips the first check it comes across. Would be interesting to test.
Despite the name, the virus that causes chickenpox is classified as a herpes virus, not a pox virus.
On one hand, I have found so many nice spots thanks to Mountain Project and similar Hiking Project. On the other hand, I have found even better spots with fewer people by talking to people who hike/fish/hunt/climb, and all of them have acted as if they were letting me in on a secret, so I have never contributed the locations etc back to HP/MP.
> not doing weird stuff like putting fish antifreeze genes in strawberries.

Oooh! Weird! Modifying my immune system to be able to fight cancer is "weird" too, right? Is there a good reason to use "weird" as a criterion in any of this? Because I like being a GMO organism who isn't dying of cancer, and people using "weird" as a metric make me a bit uneasy about how much longer such treatments are going to be allowed.

Remember: GMO isn't just about the "Organic" aisle at Amazon Whole Foods.
I thought the vaccine prevented infection.

The CDC website says “All COVID-19 vaccines currently available in the United States are effective at preventing COVID-19.” https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/facts.htm...

Is there a claim that the vaccines don’t prevent infection?
Is that true? Ie if you have something that looks too average too often it’s rather unlikely.
Using steam gamers to assess Mac market share is unrepresentative in the opposite direction to surveying SF tech workers, given Apple has not bothered to support high end games such as those which steam sells for many years at a time.

I think with the steam deck, we'll see Linux overtake Mac OS in the steam charts in the next year. I don't think Linux will then be as popular as Macs in the world at large.

The big part of what makes Unity easy to use, is just everyone uses it. I can pay an artist to make me some assets which work with HDRP. If I'm building some custom library, with custom shaders, I'm going to have to do much more work to make sure the assets are compatible.

You also have to think about the life cycle of code, if I make a small game in Unity and publish it, I'm probably not going to touch it after release.
I had the same feeling, so I went and Googled and pretty much every source I found pinned Windows at about 75%, plus or minus one or two.

Wow. That does help. I really wanted to ask my friend but felt like I would be stupid going down a line of questioning like that.

That makes a lot of sense...
Yes, of course it's different. Google can point you to a real Wikipedia article while GPT-3 will generate links to fake ones (or you could ask it to generate a fake article.) It's the difference between truth and fiction.

Or at least, a first-level approximation. Wikipedia articles can be wrong.
This comment does not contribute anything to the discussion.

I think chickenpox spread before smallpox in any case?
Thanks for the stats. (Not sure what URL has those April 2013 figures.) What I'm wondering is: who grabbed the other 16.49% over those 10 years? Does Apple's increasingly popularity explain most of that (and was Apple really so unpopular in 2013)? Or has there just been a big rise in "unknown"?
The fatality rate depends on the strain. And of course, the demographic of people with the disease. Currently in Western countries almost all cases are in young, healthy men.
No, but I live on a planet with erosion and weather, which is not how the moon works

It's not actually a valid comparison. Having water fall from the sky really changes the nature of rock dust

Dust on the moon is basically all what we would call obsidian glass dust (sharp) because it's made in asteroid impact craters
The assumption being made here is "any useful C program relies on undefined behavior" which is pretty much true.
Because this is affecting the western world, it gets a huge attention.
