Oh, I don't know about that. I find it very difficult to believe it to be more likely that someone wants to spend a ton of time and money on a trip just so they can brag about their social and financial status with a $1 keychain rather than someone wanting a momento of a good experience. If you want to assert that 95% of people who go on vacation are only doing it to rub it in their friends' faces as opposed to doing it to make memories and have a good experience, you need to provide some source other than a gut instinct.
This reminds me of the time I went to the Penzys Spice blog, found pages and pages of insane ramblings, thought they were hacked and was about to reach out to them, then realized the CEO was just crazy.

How plausible is Loop Quantum Cosmology/Loop Quantum Gravity as a Big Bang alternative?

It seems more reasonable to me, but this is like a blind man saying one painting looks nicer than another.
It’s no surprise that extreme excess of food due to low cost results in massive obesity.

This is replicated in essentially every mammal study where one provides an unlimited amount of food and comfort to an environment.

If sugar were taxed 1000% percent we would see a massive change in global health.
One of the biggest reasons for the limited lifetime of phones is battery degradation. Save your battery by only charging to 80 or 90% rather than to 100%.

This should be possible via a software setting, but it generally isn't. Instead you can use a dongle.

Why Do I Look Like This? The SexyCyborg Origin Story
C++17 and especially C++20 are reasonable programming languages that you rarely have to fight or work around. Things have become much simpler. Anything prior to C++11 was sufficiently awful to work in that I used other languages. They really resurrected the language with C++11.

It can be messy, because backward compatibility, but a lot of newer code bases start time with idiomatic C++17. The standard library is the primary place you'll still run into old style C++.
I have a Google Pixel 2 that is my "travel phone", has a very decent camera, the "old" processor still handles everything fine. Battery lasts all day for normal use and some navigation; but longer with battery saver mode.

Current daily is a Samsung s20, my battery will last all day for normal usage, though drains quickly with GPS.
I was never really a big fan of Excel, but since I started working at a company that does literally everything in 365, I've come back around - power queries, the graph API, power automate and BI put a lot of tools at your disposal. Having typescript as the builtin scripting language is nice for me, too, because I never really liked vba

Alright, I'm no MAD game theory expert so I'll probably get ripped apart, but I'll appreciate the discussion.

I've wondered if there's any MAD incentive to keep some major groundbreaking technology under complete wraps (beyond TS - see recent headlines). If MAD is disrupted by groundbreaking tech, and if this technology would significantly boost strike capabilities and possibly render nuclear weapons useless, then the rival nations would be forced to exercise a nuclear strike preemptively to ensure their security to prevent a war they would inevitably lose.

So that's one theory that I've kicked around in my head as to why we might have such tech but keep it such a tight secret. It certainly could be complete fantasy or misunderstanding of MAD. Please tell me why I'm wrong so I can bury this line of thought!
Cable modems were easy: all you needed to do was JTAG them. I don't think any glitching was required.

The approach used for the Starlink terminal is more like what was done to reprogram satellite TV smart cards. Get a copy of the ROM, count the processor cycles and find the operation you don't want happens and mess with the voltage or frequency at that point to let you send in unsigned/unauthorized updates.
Right, but unlike fluorinated compounds those toxins can be broken down by your body and flushed out (I could be wrong?). For example, alcohol is pretty toxic to us.
I think Avi Loeb is legitimately excited about this topic. He's also aware that the public is tremendously excited and inspired about the possibility of UFOs, alien flybys of the solar system, etc.

I think he's achieved professional recognition, paid his dues playing the game of academia (very successfully), and is now pursuing things that he finds most exciting. The man has co-authored a thousand papers, literally, so I doubt he'd get much marginal excitement from hypothetical paper #1001, i.e., another instance of fitting a curve through noisy data to build support for an obscure model that very few researchers care about.

He has also pointed out that it's an invitation to ridicule in academic circles to talk openly about UFOs. He doesn't care though (why would he?), and that for sure is triggering folks who take themselves very seriously.
It was frustrating to listen to the literal CIA Spy on Lex Fridman call Snowden a traitor for exposing this system. He says America is less safe because of him, as if the program stopped because of Snowden.

Isn't that what cooling towers are for? An alternative to warm water emissions. I am no expert admittedly.
Or, you get a bloodbath, like what happened in Kenosha, where everyone (except the first person who was killed) involved was convinced they were the good guy with a gun.

In the fog of war of an active shooting, nobody has any idea of who is the threat, and who is responding to the threat, and nobody has time to sit around and wait for 8 months for a jury to determine whether the shooting was justified or not.
I was a happy urxvt user for years, but switched to Alacritty[1] about a year or so ago. My main reasons for switching were wanting better emoji support (urxvt handles Unicode admirably, but not emoji) and wanting a better configuration language (I hate writing Xresource rules).

I don't believe it's had a 1.0 release yet, but it's been stable in my use cases, and (perceptively) performant.

Is Rust syntax really that different? I've only written a little C++, but it seems pretty similar to me. They mostly just switched from `type x = ...` to `let x: type = ...` and let you return stuff by putting an expression at the end of a block, right?
It does not look cool but vapor cooking is a miracle. It is fast, it is clean, it preserves nutriments. People who like to "cook" don't like it because they can't perform their magic rituals. Cooking has always seemed something very religious to me... Cooking some stuff for a long time, adding secret ingredients supposedly to give "extra" taste... Putting stuff on the pan, then turning on the oven jsut to melt a layer of cheese.. Seems to be so much work, so little efficient.
Most of my cooking talents consist in adding salt and pepper, spices, olive oils, seeds, lemon juice to good produce with delicious bread. You can taste the things you are eating, it takes less time and it's healthier. It's even healthier for your indoor air. Come to the bright side.
I use tmux for all 'advanced' functionality, like scrollback and copy/paste, so I'm not picky as long as performance is good and basic features are present. The one thing is that I like to use a fullscreen dropdown terminal, so I do use Yakuake on KDE-based environments and Guake on GNOME-based ones.
Hopefully high purity water becomes more available as the technology gets deployed to these areas.
Emacs with eshell for the most part.

If I need something else, I'll use whatever comes with the DE, typically gnome term. It's alright. I don't mind it. It doesn't excite me.

I used cool retro term for a week or two there for the nostalgia and it was nice but a bit much for daily work.
I understand what you're trying to go for, but you're treating people like the equivalent of a particle accelerator hoping that by smashing them together at sufficient velocity... that something will come of it.

In practice I find this rarely to be the case unless you as the facilitator are also commensurately cognitively capable (say that three times fast), otherwise you're sort of placing an excessively undue amount of pressure on them.

I also don't accept many meetings. I leave them as tentative, with the belief that my meeting time is based on priority, not first-come-first-served. This gives me flexibility to attend the meetings that I really do view as most important.
TTC stations in Toronto will not allow you to enter using Presto at the same station you have already entered. I assume this is to prevent "pass backs" but it also affects those that have entered on the wrong side of certain stations.

Show HN: DAW JSON Link
I just released v3 of DAW JSON Link https://github.com/beached/daw_json_link, a C++ JSON library, that I am the author of. It's a C++ JSON library that prioritizes concrete data structures. It is fast, GB/s, and competitive with other libraries out there like simdjson. A brief list of things it supports are:
* declaratively map json objects to C++ data structures
* allows allocators to be provided and passes it to allocator aware types
* can parse via a non-owning json_value that allows JSON Path like indices along with iteration of sub members
* types to provide iteration over json arrays and use in C++ algorithms
* JSON Lines/NDJSON support
* The parser does not allocate at all, that is up to the resulting data structures, if needed. The memory usage is very minimal
* Variants/Sum types are a priority and most expressions of them in JSON have easy mappings with a fallback to code if needed
* JSON Schema output from mappings
* Custom number types are supported(e.g Boost Multi-precision/GNU MP)
* Serialization to most things is supported out of the box with the ability to easily add a new way. This includes, pointer, output iterators, span like types, strings/vectors/containers of byte like types, FILE ...
An accompanying project https://github.com/beached/daw_json_link_describe that allows using Boost.Describe reflection like mappings with JSON Link
* Lots of example code in tests folder and cookbook like documentation in the docs folder to see it in use. All the examples in documentation are part of the test suite too
* Optionally allows for comments( # line comments and C-style // and /* /)
Allows for trailing comma
* constexpr
My current phone is a major brand flagship from 2016 (bought in 2016), the one that that one replaced was probably older than that at the time.

Your question seems to start from a wrong premise, maybe ask yourself why you replace phones every two years for (according to you, minor) feature upgrades.
Blue-Rays and DVDs aren't replaceable by streaming services. The key distinction is that specific videos disappear from streaming services at any time - there are no guarantees. I pay for a number of streaming services, and yet every month things I used to be able to see have disappeared from those services.

If you just "want to watch something" but don't care exactly what it is, a streaming service is great.

However, if you want to watch a particular movie/show repeatedly, then you want a Blue-Ray or DVD, not a streaming service. No streaming service will guarantee you endless future access to a particular video, and that makes them distinctly different. Buying and downloading a file would also work in theory, but in most cases you can't legally buy a video file, you can only lease video files for a specific device for a finite indefinite time. So while that's an option that should exist, in practice it usually doesn't, so disks are the only thing legally available for those who want continuous access.

When I want to watch the a particular show, I want to watch that. Not a random show that may or may not be on a streaming service I'm paying for. The show may not be on any streaming service available to me at a particular point in time. Of course, I could always go to a pirate site and get access to practically everything, but while that's probably more convenient, I'm trying to do things legally.

I think it's fraudulent for vendors to say that you "buy" a video when you don't get to keep it permanently, but it does happen. What's worse, that fraudulent misuse of the word "buy" confuses some people into mistakenly thinking that disks (like Blue-Rays and DVDs) can be replaced by streaming services. Yes, they have similar purposes, but they are not interchangeable.
honestly iphones seem to last the longest both in terms of durability and longevity of security patches. starting with the pixel 6, the pixels now see security updates for 5 years (instead of 2? 3?) though.

other android phones are a bit scary, even if you're running an oss os that gets patches to the userland, are those proprietary drivers and kernel bits all getting patched after the official support ends?
Because there is no spacing in Chinese so there can be some ambiguity about word boundary. The more important thing is that you and I both agree that "mh" cannot be used by itself.

In Chinese numbers are also prefixed to measure words or classifier. eg; "How many brothers do you have?" No one will answer "m" but "m'go". So, I don't believe in colloquial Chinese that a pure number is a word. You are welcome to disagree.

By the way, it is "m" for 5 in Cantonese. Unless you were talking about Shanghainese, but then is "n". "ng" is a common starting consonant in Cantonese, like "ngao" (cow) or "ngo" (I). but it doesn't have a standard meaning.
It works 99,9% of the time.

There are few obscure functions that have parameters and those parameters can come in home language - so they will stop working. Also there are some issues with charts.

In general Excel is made for corporations and people from different countries send each other files all the time.

However it would be nice to be able to dynamically switch language. There are few websites that translates formulas.

the real problem which plague's India is over zealous "babu's" aka bureaucrats. It is very difficult to do actual good things with regards to policy so they settle for the most hype thing "ban X" and label it as patriotism and feed the narrative to the media machine which takes and runs with it . Now the government gets to pat itself on the back and the "babu" gains notoriety as a patriot its a very "notice me senpai" thing. They will continue to do this cause they are looked up to by everyone in the country as a educated elite . In reality they are a bunch of cockroaches who collectively share 3 brain cells to make what i like to call "dad joke style policy". If every there is a gaping flaw in modern democracies it is the unaccountable and ever powerful bureaucrat.

> Modern infrastructure routers have the ability to replicate traffic on any network interface to a second network interface, and to do this without affecting throughput or latency through the node. I have long suspected that the story of "beam splitters" on optic fibers was a red herring to distract from how it is really done.

They probably do both... beam spliters are nice, for when you don't even want the telco to know.

I would say the probability that the US has technology that was demonstrated in the pentagon UFO tapes would be more surprising to me than if these craft were actually made by non-humans.

If the US had possession of such technology in a black project we would see some of the technology "bleed" into other projects, notably the air force and drone technology. And right now nothing the US possesses has those capabilities.

An alternate theory is that this is ruse by the US or another foreign govt. projecting images into the sky and moving them like a person using a laser pointer does across a wall. I don't know of any technology that can project an image into the sky like that, and then there is the radar signatures seen on some of these things.

One of my first paid gigs was to write a debugger for a RIP implemented in 2900 bitslice. It was a specialized SIMD architecture. The debugger was written in C and ran on the bootloader processor, which I recall being a 68k. Having taken an architecture course as an undergrad I sort of knew what I was doing, and microcode is inherently simple compared to, for example, 64-bit x86. I recall thinking "this is what a really wide PDP-11 would be like." The project was also interesting in that my customer was one person: The guy who designed the processor and who was writing the microcode.

If nobody in Russia so much as tried to milk Snowden for all he's worth, someone ought to have been fired.

However, every impression I have of Snowden is that he is patriotic to the USA, and that the sole reason he is in Russia now is genuinely because of the pressure that the government of USA put on every other government to turn him over.
