Japan is one of those countries where rumors and social pressure can be worse than law enforcement. The UK is a similar country in many regards (especially in terms of social culture) but has managed to build a better social support network and awareness of the negatives of mental health and "bullying" is more apparent. I also think that "witch hunt" morality is more tolerated in Japan whereas in the UK it's considered harmful. Japan does have a lot of strict laws against such things, but it may also reflect the severity of the issue in that the problem still exists (for British people a good comparison might be classism and associated cultural traits in the UK). The issue can be associated with mental health issues (especially the aftereffects) but it needs to get to the core of the issue that is the bullying and exclusionary social pressure in Japan.

These people have almost universally been bullied or subject to severe stress from social pressure. I currently live in Japan but I find it hard to speak out because the internet can be too Americanized to explain my culture comparison.
There’s a reason they stopped selling Photoshop in non-subscription when the pricing difference was something like this.

$699 vs $49/mo. Now maybe $20/mo since they no longer force bundling and have lower cost feature restricted versions.

The math was easy at the time because you’d break even in 2 years with the old price. Now it’d be like 4 but plenty of users were on CS2 for 6 or so.

Since 12x is your 1 year break even rate it’s not too unreasonable. Especially if you’re not upgrading it ever year.
Japan would do better against "Hikikomori syndrome" by changing the studding environment culture of their school: bulling against the non-normative people (with closed eyes from the school), super competitive studies, almost mandatory second school, all to become boring salarymen bullied by the corporate higher ups. The society pressure for this life model is the problem, not some sort of genetics.

Also, most Hikikomori are men, because women may be able to escape all this crap by getting married. This is also a failure, because they are not expected to get a "real work" and to quit asap if married.

There is also the "herbirore" phenomenon, the cousins of the Hikikomoris, mainly people who want to avoid the family culture of Japan. (And let not forget about the suicides, but japan is not ranked first on this contrary to common beliefs)

Fortunately all this seems to change little by little, but searching for "biological roots" is just searching for excuses. Next research will be an American university searching for "biological root" in young people doing killing spree in schools ?

> This has confused me a bit about the US education system. Shouldn't this be taught in highschool? Where I live if someone wants to study maths in university, and they haven't done the B2 math track, the university would simply not accept them into enroll into that major. The student would have to get a highschool degree that includes the maths B2 track, if they're under 18 they could simply return to highschool, or if they're older then there's adult (night) schools.

It's not that they haven't been taught this; it's that they haven't conceptualised it, so that 2(x + y) = 2x + 2y to them is just a meaningless rule, and there's no particular reason why it should be true but not 2(xy) = (2x)(2y), or 2^(x + y) = 2^x + 2^y, or whatever. Of course ideally one would only have students in the course who have conceptualised this, but that's not how it happens, and it's not fair for me to teach the course to the students I wish I had.
this problem is simple to solve, remove license plates. They're pointless anyway.

In some disasters, the opposite is true. I would like to understand the factors that made life different for the man in Bosnia who wrote the letter vs the outcomes other disasters. The letter seems to imply that there was some kind of siege on the city (or some kind of martial law?) and that the conflict was protracted. It could be really important to understand at what point things went sideways. My hunch is that the pain comes from above in the form of military force rather than bubbling up from from the bottom in the form of the people loosing their sense of charity. I could be wrong tho.

In other shorter-lived disasters, people came together an helped each other in really powerful, life-changing ways. Such disasters include: Hurricane Katrina, Hurricane Sandy, the derechos in the midwest, flooding in the upper midwest, and the San Francisco earthquake.

We’ve already had glimpses of this in the US with localized scenarios: natural disasters, protests

The country that can send HIMARS and Javelin systems halfway around the planet, at the door of a supposed “super power”, without consequences, is doing pretty well logistically
The article and the story within it don't really gel for me. He's talking about societal collapses, then he describes his life during Bosnia during a sectarian war.

Bevy 0.8: data oriented game engine built in Rust
That is crazy cool - thanks for sharing!
This is a point that you constantly bring up in these threads, do you think most developers believe that data race safety should extend beyond the bounds of the process?

One thing that Rust’s type system does allow you to do is define a consistent manner in which to access external systems, even add types that will mimic the same safety. Is it perfect? Will it protect you from a different process working against the DB? Will it enforce things in the other process? No. But will it give you higher level semantics to be able to construct a better model for operating against that external system? Yes.
You probably don't want to test 1 day vs 2 weeks. At day 1 the beans have not degassed enough to release all their flavor unless you take special care during the brewing process. Around 1 week after roast is optimal for a regular v60 brew. 2 weeks isn't long enough for the beans to have gone (very) stale. After 3 weeks is when the taste really drops off.

What brewing method did you use, regular cupping procedure?
But in this case there are plenty of other, better delivery mechanisms than disguising the payload as space junk.
I'm purely speculating but I think it's also a side effect of the high degree of development in places like Japan and elsewhere in the first world. If you're the child a middle class family it's just so easy to live a subsistence lifestyle without working hard or engaging in your community. This kind of isolation would kill someone in a more primitive society but if you can lock yourself in an apartment with running water and food delivery you can be relatively comfortable forever.

I don't want to invalidate your experience, but allow me to offer an anecdata counterpoint: Wifi works perfectly on my M1 Mac Mini and has since day 1 (to the point I never bothered to wire it up), and I have location services enabled.

Thanks for the suggestion, which I think is exactly the right way to address this particular issue.

Indeed, now that I've learned from a few times teaching the course that it always comes up, I will address it. But, if I spend my time building up basic-algebra proficiency at this level, then I'm never going to get into the meat of proving things. Perhaps the answer is to view the very act of writing your argument as a proof—and I like that perspective (because it genuinely is!); but, if I were to break that down to its full details, then I would have to write 2(x + y) = (x + y) + (x + y) = x + (y + (x + y)) = x + (y + (y + x)) = x + ((y + y) + x) = x + (x + (y + y)) = (x + x) + (y + y) = 2x + 2y, and writing down proofs of that sort risks alienating students who are eager for a conceptual picture, and guarantees giving the wrong idea of what sort of activity proving is. (And it also risks confusing why later I will say that, for a silly example, π(x + y) = πx + πy "by the distributive law"—I can't think of multiplication by pi as repeated addition, so I must cite the distributive law; and then why didn't I just do that before?)

The investment could be a special class of stock that would be contingent upon building fabs with installments on completion of milestones or a penalty to the company applies.

Not sure I agree with Apple’s recommendations.

don't give your 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands different names.

I purposefully did set different names for these two band. I also only gave all my devices the password for the 5GHz band. Because latency is lower on that band.

I cannot disable 2.4GHz band because my old WiFi printer doesn’t support the 5GHz but if it wasn’t for that I would disable it altogether.
True, but these youth campaigns only started recently. I guarantee you that a rogaine advertisement from the 90s to the 2000s will feature middle aged actors and a narrator with a robust voice.
In addition to band steering (which is moving between bands on the same AP), there is also Wi-Fi EasyMesh[1] which allows multiple APs to coordinate with each other (over wired or wireless backhaul) to steer STAs (clients) between APs. However, the Ubiquiti AP is not certified for EasyMesh[2].

Not sure either but if you google it you’ll see I’m not alone.
WiFiMan reports -85db and 80m when 3 floors down on the opposite side of the house from 1 Ubiquiti U6 Mesh. We have a second U6 Mesh to cover this area and users roam between the two when on the second floor where we are most of the time.

The house is detached, very open plan, and doesn't have many solid walls. We also have traditional wall radiators, I imagine the lack of underfloor heating and foil insulations allows wifi to travel further between floors.

That just means that every allocation has a pair that frees it - that’s different from knowing how many allocations happen, when and when does the corresponding free happen.

For a simple example, take a text editor (sure, you would likely allocate a much bigger buffer in practice) that allocates for each line of text an object, and adds the buffer’s pointer to a list to be freed - this freeing happens when the user closes the open text file window. While you do know that every allocation will be freed and know their relative order, you don’t know anything more specific - will the user open multiple such files first, close them in some random order, etc.

I'm willing to bet that Windows 10 or 11 would have zero trouble running some random version of Quicken from 2002. Most PC games from that era are still easily runnable without too much hassle and those have way more complexity and weird crap to deal with.

Given Brazil's huge hydro power resources and it's huge solar potential, ethanol based plug-in hybrids with smaller (hence less expensive) batteries could be a great way to move off petroleum fuels while also minimizing the use of ethanol.

Of course that might be a hard sell given the importance of the ethanol production industry in the economy.

But it might be a good strategy for countries that don't yet have the purchasing power to support a market for pure EVs.

I agree there is no single isolated cause but multiple factors of declining testosterone levels. Body fat and obesity is also linked to reduced testosterone levels, and lifestyle in western countries (the US in particular) leads to more and more overweight and obese population. So if you are concerned about your testosterone levels, and immediate step you can take is to reduce your body fat.

That's good to know and I stand corrected. I would still have to switch away from my window manager (bspwm) and hotkey program (sxhkd), which are inevitably tied to X11. While alternatives do exist for Wayland, it would be a substantial change of workflow of my two most used programs.
Yep the cloudflare worker is in the chain of trust for e2e. There’s an attack vector with signalling servers where you can alter the SDP. This won’t allow MITM but would cause you to connect to the attacker who could then pretend to be the person you were connecting to.

That said, if your users can trust you’ve deployed this worker and that the worker doesn’t hijack the SDP, the e2e would be legit beyond that bit of trust. TURN doesn’t see the clear RTP payloads nor does the signalling server.

I feel like the concept of using different names for each band is like the old habits where people would disable auto-speed negotiation on Ethernet. It used to cause a problem when it first came out, but all of those issues were solved long ago, and yet it has become lore for most network admins. It’s finally going away since 1Gb requires auto-speed, however I have no doubt many would still be disabling it if they could.

Same with the WiFi names. If systems can’t handle auto switching to the correct band, then fix those systems. Devices can easily handle roaming between different APs with the same SSID, and this should be no different.

Edit: I do see the point of doing it if you want to control the band usage, however I think that should be a special case and not considered the “standard” way to do things for regular people.

Yes, what made life different in Bosnia was the blockade. Imagine Katrina, but there's occasional shelling, snipers killing anyone they can see, and it goes on for years. Now, you have a desperate situation unlike anything the USA has seen.

In the US, it is very unlikely we'll have that kind of seige. But, not impossible. Civil war can always come, even to western nations. But it is very unlikley. Much better to prepare for widespread looting and civil unrest, which is best fled. Or, to prepare for a temporary shortage because of panic buying. Or, to prepare for utility shutdowns due to natural disasters, so that you can wait out the first 72 hrs of panic'd buying and fleeing.
This is not easy to do, even for experts. An expert will often take several days to do a peer review of a paper. It's not really possible to review papers outside a narrow field of expertise, partly because doing so requires being well-read in the relevant literature, and knowing which groups are working on what topics, what methodologies are showing promise, and so forth.

And peer review does not get to the question of whether things are "legit". Likely you are quite aware of problem cases that come up in the news every once in a while. Bear in mind that those problem cases were peer reviewed, often through many, many stages, and nobody twigged to the problem.

Perhaps the answer to "what" question is: get an advanced degree, work for a decade or so in a particular sub-field, attend conferences to know what is being done at the cutting edge, spend a lot of time reading, and use all the tools at your disposal to evaluate the work.

In a nutshell, I'd say that non-experts should not expect to be able to evaluate the legitimacy of scientific papers and experiments. And even a highly-skilled expert in one sub-field is a non-expert in another.

There is no simple N-step program to yield what seems to be sought in your question.
