I think we have to consider prior background here, and look at her income.

She was a widow of one William Christie Laing, a surgeon. Her late husband had subscribed to the Bengal Military Orphan Society for 23 years. So, presumably, he was part of the military, and as a surgeon, held a rank that would have yielded a sizable stipend.

According to the article, she received a £225 widow pension from the Bengal Military Fund. So, is this a sizable pension, or mere charity pushing her into "extreme penury" per her own assertion? One could assume that rank and years served by her late husband would have propped up her pension beyond what a widow of a common soldier would have received. Or even a common laborer who didn't came from wealth at all.

In that regard, rent wasn't her particular issue. Relinquishing her former lifestyle in order to maintain her 7 children was. Sure, the reduction of her income had a serious impact. But how does it compare to actual poverty levels at the time?

Just 3 years later, she had moved out to a different place and was living with 4 of her children. So, clearly, her financial situation did improve during that period of time. A dynamic that generally wasn't - and still isn't - all that self evident for someone who already belonged to the lower social classes.
Is this a machine translation?

> The old woman gave various interviews during the Ecce Homo boom era, where she revealed her skills as an artist. He painted for a long time, had exhibitions and even sold his art, which was very different from what he did with "Ecce Homo", although it should be clarified that it was not complete by the time he became famous.
To workaround this we could build a modular planet wide “city” and have everything shielded by walls. Expand it as you go along and keep everything needed inside. No need for expensive and time consuming terraforming.
The author of SQLAlchemy (which recently released great async support) wrote a great post about how async can actually lead to a small decrease in performance compared to the older threading model, at least for db related functions in a web backend context. [1]

For websockets or lots of network calls, you can't really beat async though.

Software specialists at youtube could not say _exactly_ why video-a was sent to users instead of video-b. "Its an algorithm and machine learning."

Something we can't 100% fully explain is already detecting what to send us for entertainment, politics, and information. Right or left, it doesn't matter, both sides have claimed the algorithm has 'helped X' or 'hurt X'

Isn't Pro/E a b-rep cad?

BRL-CAD is one of the few "full-fledged" CAD systems that I know of which is explicitly CSG, while most (all?) commercial CAD programs are B-REP in nature.

CSG and B-REP are two worlds apart. I'm not sure why in the comments we're suggesting alternatives in the two categories interchangeably. They're not [*].

An alternative to BRL-CAD would be OpenSCAD or libfive studio + other tools (since BRL-CAD does a ton more) and more recently CadQuery. Maaaaybe Tinkercad could be classified as CSG?

CSG makes some operations easy at the expense of other things that become incredibly hard. The same is true for B-REP. Doing gears, highly procedural or FEM-directed models via CSG? Easy-peasy. But try to add a filled between two edges. Step it up 50 notches to fillet one edge and do the equivalent of "tangent propagation". Now the same, but also try projecting a structure on that round face.

CSG's speed is also wildly overblown. While B-REP is not exactly lightweight, computation complexity scales with the complexity of the model but can be sped up by caching intermediate representations.

In CSG this is not always true, since caching the intermediate representation can destroy the accuracy of the final mesh in ways which are very difficult to compute. So even for apparently easy models, times spend walking the space to remesh your model can grow _very_ quickly, hampering the ability to iterate quickly and experiment.

Not to mention, "measuring things" in CSG is hard. This is never mentioned, but none of the tools I've worked with so far offers convenient ways to examine and measure the objects you're working on. For a parametric model this is vital!

[*] Not saying there's no overlap. I'm using both systems. B-REP generally wins on a model which is feature-directed, which is why it's more popular. But I can relate to people that think that BRL-CAD is "hard".
MobX is exactly what you're looking for: https://github.com/mobxjs/mobx

Vue works similar to React + MobX, but with weird design decisions like implicit reactivity, and a stale ecosystem thanks to the Vue2 vs Vue3 debacle.
Oh, thank you for the bug report. I'm not sure why that's happening, but will look into it shortly.
> Not housing per-se, but concentrating too many jobs in few locations.

Jobs weren't "concentrated" per se by any form of planning or centralized action, employers simply shifted to urban centers because the amount of skilled workers and other necessities (such as high speed Internet, universities, road and rail infrastructure) was vastly higher there than in dilapidated flyover-state villages. Additionally, rural areas got devastated by mechanization of agriculture following WW2 and later-on the closure of manufacturing plants and the mining industries [1], which led to a massive rural flight movement as everyone who could fled to the only place where employment was available - urban areas.

The fix to the housing crisis would be to invest in rural areas again - there is no limitation in the nature of the work at all that stuff like a callcenter or a bunch of programmers can't work from some rural town, but as long as there is no actual high speed Internet or no amenities (healthcare, education institutions for children, entertainment) worth their name employers won't establish shop there and employees won't move there. Would you, even for free rent, move to some small town where your children have no perspective?

> Actually, they do: Neither your ISP nor the government (assuming the VPN provider is in a "hostile" jurisdiction) can intercept, analyze or modify your Internet traffic

No, you're just delegating those capabilities to some completely unregulated random actors instead.

> which means any sort of shady bullshit would be a virtual death sentence

This assumes that their shady bullshit is discovered by someone. I would bet good money that the vast majority of it isn't. They could be sampling traffic and selling it to other companies without modifying it and users would never be any the wiser.

Honestly, I wish we could get past this broken narrative that VPNs are a panacea.
The original article is encouraging that even little bit of daily exercise is great. But the links are about doing conventional gym stuff.

If you take steroids your body will respond different then normal people. Using steroids and then to promote your programs that act like it's possible to achieve them without is dangerous.

The strain they will be able to put on their bodies are not the same as without. Even with steroids the strain is so high it can lead to serious life changing injuries like at least one the some of the linked have found out. There many young people that have used steroids and have completely worn out joints.

This looks like a positive feedback loop. People move to locations where there are many jobs available, so end of employment would not require moving to another location. More jobs are created, where there is higher availability of candidates.

This interesting article touches on a wider problem in education.

We are losing "sympathy for the devil", that oldest struggle to keep
evil in mind. If polarisation and fear of trauma is allowed to drive
the wisdom of Milton's Satan from sight, it allows his greatest trick
to prevail; "convincing us that he doesn't exist".

Why do we teach Red-Blue team in cybersecurity? Why do good police
detectives read murder novels? Why do bomb disposal engineers study a
hundred ways to build an IED? Because it "Takes a thief to catch a
thief". Without the courage and integrity to go into the darkness
nobody can fight for what is good.

If students will not dirty themselves with contemplating horror and
darkness, how can there be any wise judgement except a prescribed,
clinical and dead facsimile of morality? Here, there's no hunger for
justice.

What I sometimes see - though not as alarmingly as the article
suggests is happening in law - is some students of digital security
getting reluctant to deep-dive into the nasty side of how vulnerable
their devices and digital lifestyles are. If cognitive dissonance makes
them too afraid to study terrorism, sabotage, cybercrime and subjects
that are vital to us having a healthy defence, we are heading down a
road to comfortable helplessness.
Housing is (along with healthcare in the US) a big part of why most people in the so-called "rich world" are in fact dismally poor, only one missed paycheck or turn of bad luck away from life becoming unlivable.

For most of us poors, money is a tool we need to survive. For the people who have the bulk of it, it's a weapon. And we're the targets. They love blowing us up; it's what they do. They care more about making others suffer than the material comforts (to which hedonic adaptation accrues quick) money affords. Putting the few "good jobs", the few jobs that offer us even a sliver of a chance (like 1%, but we're expected to work as if it were 95%) of being something more than an exploited worker, in congested and dysfunctional expensive cities is something they do because it's hilarious to them.

Barring a complete and final overthrow of corporate capitalism, you can't escape this crapsack world. The important land is already owned by reptilian shitasses. Billions of people are going without drinking water while a bunch of psychopaths fly around in private jets, destroying the planet because they find it comical.
I doubt it simply because there's still a massive power imbalance between western and non-western countries. A war with China and Russia would obviously be awful for the human race, but there's almost no way China and Russia would win such a war, nor would it make sense to fight it. I mean what does the "winner" of WWIII gain? You might win the war, but now the planet is a nuclear waste land.

I think China and Russia are likely to continue to make moves that economically hurt the West or amplify social divisions here, but I don't see WWIII-type conflict happening personally.

The Taiwan situation is interesting but ultimately China knows they won't be able to take Taiwan by force without extreme consequences - nor would it be easy. China's economy depends on being able to export to the West where as the West could, if needed, find other trading partners. For that reason I think there are limits in how far China will be willing to go with Taiwan. Even if it didn't escalate into direct conflict with the West it would still be economically devastating for China. Maintaining the status-quo is in everyone's best interest.

Then again geopolitical events are nearly impossible to predict. At the end of the day it's just a handful of people who get to decide these things and people can be irrational, emotional and have complex motivations. WWIII will probably happen at some point, I just doubt the probability of it happening soon is as high as some people think.
I find it enlightening to revisit forgotten and supposedly inferior technology to learn and maybe improve efficiency or understanding. A lot of perfectly working solutions are replaced for the sake of novelty or vanity, especially in the consumer market. Maybe a parallel with the software world is apparent.

>> Why is it irrational to prefer a single battery platform?

Cost and accessory compatability. Here's a real world example: if your 18v tools are Bosch and you want to add a track saw to your arsenal, then the Bosch track saw is excellent (it's made by Mafell) and it has the best rail system - specifically the joiners are more reliable than the Festool/Makita/others style. It'd seem a no-brainer to buy the bosch 18v track saw then?

Rationally, the Festool track saw is the better purchase: it's cheaper (even allowing for purchasing 2 festool batteries + a dual charger), it has a deeper straight and bevel cut depth, and Festool tracks are a defacto standard for track accessories - accessories that would not be available to you on Bosch/Mafell style tracks.

You're assuming the trend of <2 children per woman would continue forever with the thought of "heading toward extinction". Its as silly at saying having >2 births per woman is "heading towards an infinite population".

Should we be immediately worried that our population is infinity while our resources are finite? If not, why are we worried about extinction from basically the same point?

> In my experience... public transit in areas with poor transit options is overwhelmingly used by "bad elements" (homeless and petty criminals). People who aren't "bad" (i.e. they are of the same economic class as the homeowners in the city) generally can afford cars in suburban areas. So I can understand why they oppose public transit.

So bad public transit systems are mostly used by "bad elements" because "Good" (rich) people can afford to not use shitty transit systems, which somehow means we shouldn't improve bad public transit systems?

If you improve the bad transit systems then suddenly they wont be overwhelmingly used by "bad elements" because many more "good" people will want to use them. The places I've been with good public transportation were never overwhelmingly filled with "bad elements". The trains and buses themselves were never overwhelmingly used by them either.

You really don't have to hold other people down just because you're happy where you are. You can have good public transportation services without turning your city into a slum and have everyone, including yourself, be better off for it.
