Well, one of my daily annoyances is having to put up with Qt apps not taking on the right GNOME theme under Wayland (especially window decorations), and that has been going on since forever, so… I don’t expect that to be fixed anytime soon.

(Yes, the GNOME project’s obtuseness where it regards theming and “usability” is an entire sub-thread here, but the visual annoyances in the Linux desktop are a long way away from being fixed by Wayland alone…)
Of course, such treatment has many side effects. It's just that hair loss isn't a side effect of estrogen that's common enough that everyone in a town would suffer it. In all likelihood some other cause or contaminant led to this.

Confirm. Had massive hair loss in 2018, up to half my head was bald, the back and sides included. I've been fighting it ever since, with regular injections of steroids required to stop the loss.

I was in upper midwest US, Eastern seaboard, and Los Angeles at various times that year.

Lost me at "Also, keep in mind I care about the environment but I don’t drink the Kool-aid." Even in September of 2021, that was a fatuous and stupid remark that tells me this is another "Erm, actually...." theorist who never sets foot in the street.
It was everyone I know in Indiana and South Carolina, so it appears to have been wide spread. Some were spared, but this was notably pre-COVID. I wouldn't be surprised if it isn't directly the chemical mentioned in this study, but a multifactor issue. My key point is that out hunch was "what could be leaking into the water or food supply to cause this?" I always leaned more toward the microplastic theory, but that brings us back to endocrine disruption yet again. As for hard evidence, I'm afraid my accounts are colloquial at the moment, but the increase of hairloss products aimed at young men (ie Keeps) should point a curious mind in the right direction.

My personal feeling on the decreases in violence and crime that it is very plausibly a lagging indicator showing the effect of the phase-out of leaded gasoline, paint, etc.

What is the current legal thinking on the right to privacy while driving, has there been any legal development recently? In a car on public roads, location (for example) isn’t something we have historically had a right to keep private. Companies could, and the government sometimes does, legally track license plates or RFID tags on some roads (esp. state borders, bridges, HOV lanes).

So we’ve never had a right to not have our whereabouts known or tracked, but companies and the govt have also never been able to track everyone extremely easily until recently. So there’s legitimate concern that the ease and scale of location tracking mean that we should perhaps establish a right to some privacy, but I’m not sure how that stands up to other people’s rights to see you and identify you when you’re in public.

I was just thinking about the famous “Photographer’s rights” pamphlet that has gone around the internet for a while, and people who post YouTube videos of being harassed by police or security guards who claim photos can’t be taken of a building or site when the photographer is standing on public ground. The pamphlet patiently explains that you’re allowed to photograph anything visible from public land. Googling, I see a page at ACLU dedicated to the same idea https://www.aclu.org/issues/free-speech/photographers-rights

I’m thinking about the future: imagine people made a stink about cars transmitting this data, and companies deciding instead to install cheap cameras everywhere on all roads. How do the photographer’s rights interact with people’s expectations for privacy? What should we expect, and what expectations are unrealistic and need adjusting? Are there any developments were lawmakers are addressing where the right boundaries are between public rights, private data, and the scale of cheap ubiquitous digital tracking?
Changing keyboard layout it's tricky, when I'm writing code I want the most important keys (parenthesis, brackets, braces, semicolon etc) where I'm used to find them, but I often need to write comments in Italian for auto generated documentation.

Constantly switching keyboard layout can be almost as disruptive as waiting for a dropdown to appear.
I'm by no means an academic, but...

1) is it a journal that I've heard of? Does it have a reputation?

2) who are the authors? what else have the published in the same vein?

3) who funded the research?

4) what sort of content does it survey? who does it cite?

5) how thorough is the study? Is it a low-power study that barely gets a p < 0.05 result?

there's a lot to look at beyond the content. The content itself is (of course) the most important part, but you might not be able to assess it without a doctorate. That is what peer review is for.

None of these are also necessarily on their own to write a paper off. But I'm going to trust something more that appears in the lancet vs some journal I've never heard of before.

It’s probably more accurate to say there’s a build back of CO2. Wim Hof uses hyperventilation to lower blood CO2 level well below normal so that when you do the breath hold, a big chunk of the time is spent just returning CO2 to that normal level.

This is in contrast with other breathing exercises to do cause an actual build up of CO2 to levels well above what feel normal. Freedivers call these CO2 tables and they’re used to build CO2 resistance and increase breath-hold times.

Blockchains are expensive in terms of money and energy consumption.

I'm not paying $10-$30 to store data on the ethereum blockchain every time I need to add some kind of datum (assuming the ethereum blockchain). That price will only go up once such a system actually becomes used by many parties, making the system even more expensive.

I'm already overpaying for getting the government to do stuff for me. I don't want to overpay some random servers all over the world instead of my government, that's just moving (and duplicating) the problem.

Is it really convenient? I don't like to wait and would rather prefer to press a sequence of "Compose", "a", "1", (or, which is faster, "a" and "1" simultaneously). And make a popup appear when "Compose" + "a" is pressed.

Linux has Compose key, but it is implemented poorly, it doesn't provide an UI for selecting character and discovery of combinations, and in Gnome it has very small choice of characters.

Another alternative would be to insert accented characters automatically.
I think 2 weeks off roast is close enough to 'fresh' that the difference is going to be subtle. I'd love to see an experiment like this with 3-day old vs 2-months old. I'd guess most people could tell in that case.

And maybe then bring that two months in and see where the cutoff is that people can/can't tell. I'll guess it would be 3-4 weeks or so for most subjects.

I've never heard of a "triangle test" before but I like that format!

Only because what you would call a “Republican take” on gender norms in the US is “common knowledge” nearly everywhere in Asia or Africa. You should hear my mom complain how my dad “doesn’t do man’s work, just laptop.” And she qualifies as a feminist in Bangladesh!
Yep, I mean we are in 2022.

Yes? I think people are just generally a little underinforned about this kind of stuff, so the actual details can be shocking.

And some people still overreact and try to cover it up and whitewash it.

The US Civil war being about slavery still seems to be considered an eleborate hoax to some people.

And they do the same "yes well the centuries of slavery, death, rape and murder is all true, and well established historical fact obviously, but <minor historical innaccuracy>! So basically they're overreacting and undermining our great nation by talking about stuff that happened." and it's cringe in both cases.

One of the major issues is that we have a food chain, in which these chemicals can become concentrated and yes at higher concentrations it would feminize men, or earlier puberty in young girls.

My understanding is it may be available and common but also not as rewarding.

Also it's not just endocrine disruption. Forever chemicals and microplastics can lodge in muscle and cause accumulated damage as the body tries to encapsulate it to keep from getting injured. And the circulatory system where it can clog arteries/veins/capillaries and cut off circulation. The images in this paper show plastic fibers embedded in fish muscle:

I make a difference between what FB customers pay for promises of brain time, and what the service FB provides actually is worth for _me_ (people are no customers of FB).
$40/month/user might be what FB get from their customers. It does not mean that it is the value it is actually providing to its own end users (excluding ad afficionados if that exists).

There is also a difference with what it actually costs to provide the useful part of the service. Mastodon is open source, yes it requires hardware (virtual or actual) and operation, none of which is free, but the cost of these certainly doesn't match the cost of running+developing game changing (advertisment/recommendation) ML models and ultra high scale infrastructure. Running a mastodon server for a thousand users with acceptable availability, and no fancy ML or R&D, I think should be doable for $5.000 a month, yes.

Not an expert by any means, but given personal experience: By taste it feels fairly obvious when the roast is over 3-4 weeks old. And it's not only perceptible by taste, it is fairly difficult to ignore while blooming a pourover when it's fresh but specially so during calibration for espresso: when a grind is on its first week it's much harder to find the right spot, and when it's over ~3 you're clearly grinding noticeably finer.

Caveat: If you're unfamiliar with what "normal fresh" is for a specific bean of course it's going to be hard to tell at which stage it is but it doesn't mean that you wouldn't be able to state a clear preference if presented with the same bean before, during, and after its ideal degassing window.

And double caveat: A bean is not a bean is not a bean. Dark roasts degas much faster than light roasts and there's some wild variation out there in what's grown.

None of these. Assume any individual paper is wrong. If it's not your current area of research, you can afford to wait for the results to be reproduced (or disproven, or failed to replicate), and read a meta-study instead. Due to a minefield of mistakes like publication bias and multiple hypotheses, not to mention overt fraud, it seems more likely that an exciting result is wrong than that it's correct.
Rust is a programming language. It’s the right tool for the job of programming. It happens to have a lot of features that make it a very good programming language.

I think you’re wrong about the language and community, though. It’s killer feature is it’s safety, be it memory, data race, or type. These are the reasons I was interested in learning the language. The fact that the tools make that easier is why I was able to struggle through the new concepts and actually be able to build useful things with it.

If the fact that people enjoy something as a general community turns you off, that’s not the community’s problem.

Not to minimize this at all, but FYI the attack happened more than a year ago. I’m sure the fallout will be long and diffuse, assuming it was a state actor operating strategically, not just looking to make some money on the dark web.
I found using the popcorn machine for roasting took too much attention, but here in the UK I had to adjust for external temperatures and resorted to putting the machine in a large cardboard box during winter to get the temperature high enough (re-cycling the hot air) which of course is a bit of a fire risk. Also, you can only roast quite small amounts at a time (e.g. 100g) whereas my Behmor can happily handle 150g, but doesn't need constant watching.

Edit: Just realised you're likely using a stove-top popcorn maker which I've never tried. I used an electric hot-air popcorn maker which has the advantage of blowing the beans around so they roast evenly and also blowing the chaff out of the top/side chute (outdoor usage recommended).
Something in the water, that doesn't belong there, is worth freaking out about.

It depends. In some cases I've implemented the core concept and tested it on my own work. In other cases I wait to see if it's replicated or used often.

When I don't have those options I read carefully, particularly any evaluation methods. If it's machine learning I also know to look for mistakes in hyperparameter tuning.

That said, an alternate approach is to just read the best papers from well respected conferences and venues in your area, rather than cherry picking particular papers.
Cloudflare Workers uses isolates, not processes.[0] They start much faster, typically in single-digit milliseconds.

In fact, Workers can usually spin up an isolate in parallel with the TLS handshake.[1] After receiving the SNI packet containing a hostname, it'll go start up the isolate for that host, if it isn't running already. TLS typically needs another round trip from there to do a key exchange before application data starts flowing, by that time the isolate is ready to serve. In that case, there is no added latency.

(I am the tech lead for Workers.)

Agreed. The primary high-speed cascading event that could cause society to rapidly desolidify would likely be a massive solar storm that interrupted power on a global scale for a long period of time. Everything else could be mitigated by the relative speed of transition, especially if communications and the flow of information are maintained.
I did a bit of googling like "substack import bounces" and "ghost import bounces" but nothing came up.

Terminal programs are one area where Rust's strengths seem to align (very good CLI libraries/parsing, error management, and concurrency) and weaknesses are less relevant (async, GUIs), which might be why it seems to be gaining traction in that area.
