It was with Stanford continuing education.
I skimmed the first five articles Google found, they seem to disagree.

All five were less than 40 years old

All of them showed "somewhat less than 10%" longer lives for the rats and spun that same number in varying ways from "almost no difference" to "considerable lifespan extension" depending, I think, on how much the authors hate rats.

All the studies showed dramatically increased healthspans and much lower decline in rat-performance and quality-of-rat-life thru the rat's lifespan. Or rephrased there wasn't much difference in performance between young exercise rats and young non-exercise rats but a huge difference in performance between old exercise rats and old non-exercise rats. Clearly, if I were a rat, and I dodge traps until I'm old, I'd prefer being an exercise rat. I question how well this study transfers to humans as there's obvious staggering difference in performance between young lazy humans and young "gym rats" (LOL at that pun). I would theorize a bored rat running on a wheel is vastly less motivated than a highly motivated human weight lifter or similar gym user, and that should result in much better QoL for old human "gym-rats". Anecdotal evidence seems to strongly confirm...

The studies all seemed to agree that exercise did not increase maximal lifespan very much if at all.

Depending on which side of the axe you'd prefer to grind, the articles seem to summarize to some variation on "some rats that don't exercise die young" vs "rats on average live about five percent longer if they exercise". Aside from the side issue where some studies report 5% as not much different and others report 5% as a dramatic increase depending, as I stated, on how much the author hates rats. It's literally the same shape graph in all five separate studies, its just selecting the conclusion you'd like to describe that graph.

How low-end are you talking about ? I have a fairly low-end laptop that's more than 4 years old and it works fine.

As for the rest of what you're describing, it's nothing like my experience of the web, though some government web sites come close.

I don't know if radicalization is the right word or the process that should be happening, but there is something important to note here:

The radicalization that happens in circles like the one that image comes from, in addition to or instead of the one (I hope) you mean, is not one against undemocratic practices, abuse of power etc. It is one against people who are trans (or queer in general).
And that radicalization does harm. It leads to shame and discrimination. It leads to violence. And yes, it _kills_.

Please make sure you (and others) know what radicalization you mean, and make sure that the one that is happening is correct.
I recently made PromptWiki[0] to try to document useful prompts and examples.

I kinda agree. That is around the age when you still can have the free time and energy to do what is essentially huge amount of grind. It is just question where the focus is. It might be games, books, music, anime and so on.

Older you get less there is time and energy. And more responsibilities.

In fairness the fine-tuning / epistemology / scientific method tap dancing seems to affect the string/supersymmetry crowd a lot more than the astrophysics crowd. The crossover act seems to be superpartners as WIMP candidates. My original comment didn’t reflect that.

Five or six freely chosen parameters is a lot. You know the von Neumann quote. If those parameters have continued to fit vastly more precise measurements without changing for 30 years that’s starting to sound like failure to falsify.

And if so, ultimately you folks have posed the particle/high-energy folks a problem: we found a shitload of weakly/non-interacting mass, where’s my particle bruh?

To the layperson, exotic undetectable mass sounds like something that will turn out to be a good metaphor for something deeper, but that doesn’t mean a lot via the definition of layperson.

Even laypeople know the string folks are full of shit: Witten has a Fields and not a Nobel for a reason.

This is reminiscent of John MacCarthy pooping on NIL.

"The unexpected appearance of an interpreter tended to freeze the form of the language, and some of the decisions made rather lightheartedly for the ``Recursive functions ...'' paper later proved unfortunate. These included the COND notation for conditional expressions which leads to an unnecessary depth of parentheses, and the use of the number zero to denote the empty list NIL and the truth value false. Besides encouraging pornographic programming, giving a special interpretation to the address 0 has caused difficulties in all subsequent implementations. " (History of Lisp, 1979)

it seems like even the most rudimentary timing analysis of the requirements could have revealed that Qt is not a good solution for that.

How do you deduce this without studying it? Or someone else studying it for you?
Oh never mind, I’m completely misreading. Thanks for the pointer.
You know, the function of Western intellectuals in criticizing the dominant authoritarian ruling class isn't exactly a new phenomenon. In fact, it's baked right in to the literary canon -- an unbroken line can be drawn from Plato's writings of (the possibly fictional!) Socrates; to renaissance-era artists inserting insulting portrayals of religious figures into church ceilings; to Machiavelli, Swift, and Pepys hiding effective, scathing criticism behind faux seriousness and allusion. On and on, Kafka, Orwell, Huxley -- even unto public intellectuals like Feynman or Mr. Rogers testifying before Congress, convincing The Man to do The Right Thing not with strength of arms or legalized bribery, but through reasoned argument, and appeal to the mores and standards that tie our culture together.

Without the prizing of artisan skill, without the sanctity of life, without the gloried explorer, how could Feynman have convinced anyone that we can do better than accepting brittle O-rings and dead astronauts? Without the concept of the fellowship of man, a bunch of ancient Greek philosophy about how to act, and kindergarten-level "sharing is good", how could Mr. Rogers have convinced Congress to fund public television?

How could either public intellectual have managed if their politician, ruling-class audience didn't share the values their arguments drew on?

And, like, listen man, we've been noticing and trying to comment on "privilege and oppression of non-Western peoples" since Moby Dick; Heart of Darkness is only 120 years old.

>True liberal arts teaching is almost dead in U.S. academia, it only survives at a few small schools that don't even try to pretend that their curriculum (and indeed, as a rule, their student body as well) isn't "privileged"

Another thing the study of Western thought enables is the easy recognizance of sophistry like the No True Scotsman fallacy. Note this example doesn't even bother to cover its metaphorical tracks, openly using the word "true" without providing any evidence for the claim, or even a single example of "true" liberal arts teaching.
Spread over a childhood of say, 8 years, 1/4lb is only 28mg per day. That's a couple grains of rice. So, yeah, it's not much dirt.

I'm clearly not that concerned, as I don't keep my child in a bubble, but environmental lead is detrimental to society at large and something that we should make every reasonable effort to reduce.
This sounds like a pitch for an 80s computer like by Wang or somebody. I think it's really cool how some wild new paradigm for knowledge work might require special (and expensive!) hardware in the 80s, but today any generic PC -- even a $300 rinky-dink HP Stream -- is so absurdly fast and powerful by comparison that all you need to do is code it up.

As it is, I usually just use org-mode for thought organization. When I need to give a presentation to co-workers, I type up some talking points in org-mode and may just spend an hour or two arranging them into a cohesive narrative. I've been praised for presentations I've made this way. Of course presentations aren't the only things I prepare for using org-mode -- I've written entire pieces of software from inside it.
The thing is this is not limited to the tech industry but in all areas of life in Vancouver which contributes to low social trust and lack of belonging or a commonly shared identity.

The Canadian multiculturalism model is broken and increasing number of immigrants, PR and Canadian citizens are leaving Canada in record numbers.

One positive of a melting pot culture is that there are common boundaries that define what is and what isn't. In Canada we do not have this and the post-state ideology that Trudeau dynasty has pushed resulted in a highly fragmented, silo'ed, patchwork of cultures that live separately and do not identify with Canadian values.

If you've only worked in tech, you won't get to see the entire picture of this city and nation like I have done starting with blue collar work. I've had relatives who were bullied and working conditions worsened on purpose simply because they didn't speak the same language as their counterparts who didn't bother using English at work with an indifferent management that were exploiting the cheap labour to suppress wages. Nobody wants to work in this type of environment very long and who wants to keep paying taxes to a broken system for less pay and more stress?

Still water runs deep and you won't know if you can't know.
> is also true that the Heritage Foundation […] is its primary sponsor,

I can’t find evidence of this, and the LGBA website says their primary funding comes from individual donations.

https://staging.lesbianandgaynews.com/2021/10/gary-powell-wh...

The above article makes this point:

Why would it donate to an organisation that campaigns for lesbian, gay and bisexual rights, that has an overwhelmingly left-wing membership, and that was founded by two left-wing lesbian feminists?

- given the LGBA’s position is:

“(W)e do not, and will not, forge links with, or accept funding from, any organisation… that seeks to undermine women’s reproductive rights.”

- which the Heritage Foundation oppose, I gather.

I’m inclined to believe the Heritage Foundation link is a untruth, to be honest. Given the LGBA’s charitable status I guess we’ll get definitive evidence at some point.
It probably annoys most people who are accustomed to using their preferred text editor to configure their software, and it probably also annoys all the other users who are accustomed to using typical GUI preference windows accessed through the menus to change their configuration.

>Should something that "trips the red flags" result in someone being treated that way?

There's a lot to unpack in their post, the situation sucks for them and I'm not defending the treatment they received, I am pointing out that they aren't a normal citizen if they go to high risk areas and fight with foreign militias.

>I would think at this point the security police would already know the "story behind" it

Cross enough times and a citizen with a boring enough life will probably receive some scrutiny over why they cross so much. I dated a foreigner for many years and at some point her country started to get suspicious of me wanting to overstay. The Americans just wanted to know if I was a smuggler moving drugs or cash back, that's it. The country I was going to was not an active warzone, though when I first crossed as I was younger to 'meet friends I met online' this triggered some extra scrutiny.

> Do you think it is making the country safer?

Vetting citizens returning from fighting with foreign combatants probably does fit the exact scenario of making the country safer. There is no way possible for US government to know (nor should they know) what a citizen is doing every second of their life. Having to go through a secondary and receive questioning about what they've been up to in a high-risk area is not unreasonable.
Why are you smiling? You should've donated them!
Full page refresh is still slow, but the interfaces have gotten better to mitigate that a little. I've never used a Kindle, but on Kobos there's a scrubbing interface that appears that shows pages about 1/8th size so you can flip through them visually a lot faster (due to partial refresh), and the page location scrollbar places enlarged dots around places you've been recently, so it's not hard to flip back and forth between a few places (e.g., your current reading location and an endnotes section).
Apps can rely on both /etc (for system defaults) and on ~/.something (for per user defaults).

If we used only /etc, then we would need per user entries there, which would be far more difficult, esp. with network-mounted home folders, especially when those are automounted.

I’ve taught at the high school level for about ten years. The mental process is familiar.

"Image intentionally modified to blur and hide faces"

I thought this was strange. Why hide an AI generated face?
So you may have misunderstood your observations, just like I maybe did.
I'd disagree with that characterization. The earliest work in optimizing highly dynamic languages was done in Smalltalk[1] before continuing in Self. David Ungar was the through line and one of the original designers of Self.

I've been doing standup for just shy of 5 years. I started with a similar class, attended a lot of open mics, hosted several of my own mics, and produced shows. With covid I left SF and came back to Montana, which might seem like it would be bad for a comedy career, but in many ways it's easier to make headway here. The Punchline and Cobb's have so many eager comics that they can pick and choose and it's difficult to stand out. Here I'm a biggish fish in a teeny pond; I can rent a theater and fill it and make hundreds of dollars instead of the $25 I could hope for from shows in the city.

Of course sometimes you're still looking at empty rooms and empty tip jars or no ticket sales, but most of the time, I get to tell more jokes to a larger number of people and get more money at each show working in flyover country.

> It’s important to tell DALL·E 2 exactly what you want

That’s not as easy as it sounds. Specially in the surreal cases that DALL-E is usually requested.

Sometimes you don’t know what you want until you see it. Other times you do, but are not able to express in ways that the computer can understand.

Yes but how much the js-code parts grew because longer scripts length in vanilla javascript? And how much added for another ajax library?
I don't see that using vanilla js instead of jquery gives enough advantage compared to that i have a much more pain writing that frontend code with vanilla.
And specially replacing ajax or get (fetching json) with error handling (no server at all, server error, data not found -cases) is just awful with axios for example.

Not to make this an ad, but you can actually do better with Redis Enterprise using Redis on flash (part of the flexible and annual plans). It stores hot data in RAM and "warm" data in flash. Here is a good 68s video on the subject: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hFQnhPstqLM
does anyone know how it works that towards the end of the video, it shows the resulting torque curve of the motor is actually negative for a decent span. Does this mean the motor actually resists rotation for that arc during every rotation?

Wouldn't that be a significant hit to efficiency, or do the benefits simply outweigh it for a net gain?

libmill and libdill are similar but different projects by the same author. I think he just let the libmill domain expire. What's funny is the site is a GitHub Pages site, so it's still there on the libmill repository, and could be accessed at https://sustrik.github.io/libmill but it's configured to redirect to that expired libmill domain so it's inaccessible.
This post did raise an interesting question for me though. With Qt being used on microcontrollers these days, It made me wonder about the overhead of signals and slots on single core/single threaded usecases and how that might affect things like power consumption/CPU usage on those devices. I would love to see if someone did a comparison on that.

As for the crazy contrived example they have provided: "Assume I receive 100,000 trades per second from some crypo exchange and if one trade triggers 100 signals than I have 10.000.000 signals per second that is something comparable with the maximum." - They'd have to process the incoming messages on a separate thread (or process) anyway, so they wont drop packets because of the event loop that also processes user input. Then update the GUI once every event loop tick because that's how frequently the UI gets updated anyway.
They do!, TikTok is just the beginning. Look at the games, etc.

"Much" easier? It only needs 3 or 4 extra instructions to check for the null terminator at position 1 or 2 (0 based), which would be an improvement (only 1 or 2 letter filenames starting with dot would be hidden), and a couple of extra to check for dot at position 1. Given all the other things ls has to do, that's negligible.
