I live in belgium, Europe....

I donated for Ukraine, because Putin started war in Europe. I follow OSINT almost daily and read up about Russian military interventions in the last 30 years and their capabilities ( eg. BTG) - > 1200 pages.

I am VERY much affected by all of this. Not only prices, because that's selfish shorterm thinking.

Use some reasoning instead of just saying; let Russia do.

If you think that would be a good thing, you should give me a reason why. Because Russia won't stop at Ukraine then and if China invaded Taiwan because we let Russia invade/kill the expensive prices you see now are going to be a joke compared to what you see then.

Just ask Poland, Georgia, Chechnya or Finland why we must resist.

I'd say you aren't affected if you're talking only about prices. Other countries don't even have enough food.m ( Egypt) and that's all part of what Putin wants... To get people on the table and be in a comfortable position as "negotiator" to get what it wants.

And how: killing 30% of the population/families and displacing them to a new neighborhood ( and mixing with "ethic Russians" so they can't trust anyone.
There are quite a few gems in the Tailscale blog. I've come back to their posts about NAT traversal (https://tailscale.com/blog/how-nat-traversal-works/) and how Tailscale works (https://tailscale.com/blog/how-tailscale-works/) a few times, not necessarily for the technical content but for how well they're written.
Since there are 2 computers I'm guessing that they are letting one computer update and reset the other one, then repeat for the reverse. The system as a whole would stay up, the individual computers would not.
This is developer evangelism at its best at the behest of VCs to scale and "productionalize". There are reasons why this problem is a fundamentally difficult and coming out of the blue claiming to have found a 10x solution in a field that has attracted lots of research interest is highly sus. I would love to see a study that actually exposed their methodology, replication from independent parties and more importantly CODE.
Glad to see for nostalgia, but in 2022 are there any advantages to Pyramid over:

* Sanic (has production ready built-in web server..) or Starlette or FastAPI

* Django with async support

As far as I'm aware, any async framework is going to be superior the moment you do any sort of I/O (database, requests, filesystem).
I find your position a little strange. For example, you say "students who never had to borrow (wealthier parents, or poor enough to receive free rides through grants and scholarships) are excluded from balance numbers", speaking as if that's a "bias" in the statistics that makes them "misleading", rather than being the fundamental problem itself: the unfairness of some students having to borrow huge amounts of money to get an education, while others don't have to borrow anything, despite going to the same schools!

Student loans getting repaid doesn't automatically mean that student loans aren't a problem. They're effectively a highly regressive tax imposed on kids based on the income of their parents. Or if not precisely a tax, then an entry fee to certain import parts of society, job markets, politics, etc. But the entry fee is waived if you belong to the right family.
Thanks! will do

The stated history is interesting.

> While initial laws typically applied to children ages one to three, since the mid-1990s mandated age limits have seen a huge ratcheting upwards. The median age at which children are allowed to ride in just a seat belt in U.S. states is now eight, and every single law change has increased the age, not reduced it (with the average state making 3.2 such age changes). Enthusiasm for these laws has not been curbed by studies showing that child car seats are no more effective than seat belts in preventing death or serious injury for children above age two (e.g. Levitt 2008, Doyle and Levitt 2010). This may be due to the perception that such mandates are virtually costless, beyond that of the car seats themselves.

My take? Yes on the above. Also, (a) parents are very risk averse w.r.t. their kids and (b) few lawmakers would vote against even marginal or non-existent safety benefits regarding children -- as long as the mandate makes intuitive sense to most voters.
I can see it. I bought a $90K SUV when we went to three kids. I know I didn’t need to spend that much but I did, and it felt like a cost of the kid.

> I can think of a reason not to compile from source: it's essentially statically linking code into your assembly which can be huge problem for middleware packages that want to override the specific version you depend on. This is very common with the JSON serialization library, which is highly backwards compatible.

I think if .NET were integrated into Linux package management systems in the 'organic' way, 'building from source' here would still be 'building from source with the assistance of the distro package management tooling', which would mean that you would get intermediate build artifacts for all the deps, recursively.

If you have to do that manually, it would suck. But when automated tools can generate those packages, it works relatively nicely.

> I think historically in the .NET world, package consumers have expected pre-compiled assemblies and not source code and so that's what the ecosystem has developed around.

Yeah, and I can see how distros burning their own compute bandwidth building the same binaries into their own artifact repository systems instead of using Nuget might seem like more of a religious rite than a purposeful task.

But I think the ability to uniformly inspect and update the software on the system is a big deal when it comes to Linux distros, as is the ability to add source patches, especially for backwards compatibility or security fixes, to most people involved in putting distros together.

I don't know if Canonical is up for it with Ubuntu, but it does sound like building dotnet applications in a way that is conventional for Linux distros is certainly possible. Alternatively, something like AppImage, Flatpak, or Snap seems like a natural fit for distributing apps with libraries shipped directly by the publisher that Ubuntu or other distros could use to include .NET applications.
Licensing notwithstanding, it'd be cool if we could find a way to collaborate. I just learned about solvespace this past year and kudos on your progress.

I somewhat agree, but this raises the next question: what is the value of a human life?

It is one thing for a healthcare system or insurance group to try to maximize something (quality of life? remaining life expectancy?) for a particular budget. It is another to tradeoff saving lives against lowering vehicle costs.

I don't want to sound melodramatic, but when humanity on average produces less than 2 children per woman, it is heading for extinction. I keep hearing all sorts of counter-arguments, such as:

* there is too many people
* people are destroying earth
* fewer people are born, but more people live longer, so we are fine

If you are of a thinking kind, you can see none of these points addresses the problem. I could understand if those were idiots were making these arguments, but many people who do are quite intelligent; yet they keep being in denial that humanity is heading to existential crisis. What's even more disappointing is that the same people who say this have been hugely vocal during recent pandemic. Which means, they do care for individual human life, but apparently not for the human race.

Bottom line is: we desperately need more children born, and at the same time we are doing everything to discourage potential parents from producing any. Car seats are just a tip of an iceberg. Schools, police, social services, nosy neighbors, political activists are all actively making life of parents living hell. This must stop. Society must help parents. Couple thousand bucks a year in tax deductions is not help, it's a pittance. Do you know how much daycare costs? Add on top of it sleepless nights; add occasional child sickness meaning you can't go work and have a career, god forbid some mental illness or other disability. Parents are literally sacrificing their lives for future generations, as the rest of you a$$holes travel, drink, go clubs, go concerts, have sex, and not only care less about what happens to humanity tomorrow, but work on actively discouraging people from giving life to someone else. This is a f#ing disgrace.

Sorry for rant.
The main problem you’ll have is that you’ll want to upgrade archlinux-keyring first. Beyond that, it wouldn’t surprise me at all, though it also wouldn’t surprise me if you did have problems. Early last year I updated a machine I hadn’t booted for 2½ years, and I messed up the procedure a bit and ended up rendering it unbootable (the way I did it, upgrades in the pacman hooks system meant they didn’t run properly, so mkinitcpio didn’t happen, so I couldn’t boot past grub), but when I came back to that machine almost a year later and fixed it up by booting from USB, chrooting into the local installation and I think just reinstalling the linux package as a convenient way to trigger the mkinitcpio hooks, then it was fine, and after just a manual archlinux-keyring update the year’s worth of updates were uneventful. (I think if I’d tried to do the whole three years’ worth in one go it might have failed, though, vague recollections of the .tar.xz transition or something.)
> What does the power connection to the transistors look like?

With one layer of metal, power wiring is tricky. You need to get power and ground to all parts of the chip in the metal layer, without crossing. (You can use the silicon layer to cross if necessary, but this adds resistance so is avoided if possible.) So you end up with power wiring either meandering all over the chip, or an interdigitated tree-like structure for power and ground.

A via connects the power (or ground) metal wiring to the silicon layer. This silicon will often feed several nearby transistors, rather than one via per transistor.

(Hopefully this makes sense.)

> Could you elaborate on why it needs to be rectangle?

I guess you could have non-rectangular gates, but it's not something I see. The gate is where a metal line crosses a silicon region, so you naturally end up with a rectangle. The current is proportional to the width::length ratio of the gate, so the dimensions are important. (And one dimension is normally constrained by the minimum feature size.)

"We estimate that these laws prevented only 57 car crash fatalities of children nationwide in 2017. Simultaneously, they led to a permanent reduction of approximately 8,000 births in the same year."

This is an interesting sentence. The authors say this like it's a bad thing. And I recognize there are economic risks to decreasing the birth rate. But I would not murder 57 children to cause 8,000 to be born. So I think it might be okay for these births to be avoided to save these lives? I mean it definitely should be considered in the tradeoffs but facially this seems like a reasonable trade to me.
I have repeated this often in the last few years, but it applies here as well. While death may be the worst possible outcome here, there are certainly many more potential negative outcomes that don't show up in the data quite as easily.

Public broadcasters like the BBC love to gloat every few pixels about how trustworthy they are. Yet, they will have more secret commercial deals with tech giants to get automatic prominent positions in feeds, regardless of quality. They're already spending up on ads on those platforms, and now the money will move in both directions. What could go wrong?!

In addition, the scheme involves harvesting data of users on the social platforms. It's a messy conflict of interest that encourages high volumes of low quality. Because that's all that's needed to get paid.

Absolutely this but in the short term. I had a similar thought the first time I saw the sensational results of Dall-e. It reminded me of how many times I was impressed with technology only to see it go into the background and take their place not having taken over the world how it was expected in my naive mind. But I don’t doubt this will make a large impact in the future generations. I paint and this will indeed not deter me from painting - even if to never be seem by anyone - but am not sure I would have taken to painting if I had some future version of some AI generating tool at my fingertips from an early age… I think it will become something the rich will afford rejoice in, and also the rich will most likely afford to shield their children from technology.

At least in Europe the car seats are so wide and the benches so narrow that you can forget having 3 children in the back row. Also isofix is usually missing in the center “seat” which is typically smaller or even raised.

The only case that I have seen work is with two rear facing seats on the outer seats and a small/narrow front facing seat in the middle.

I wish manufacturers hadn’t killed off MPVs. Now we are stuck with older models with less to no hybrid/electric drivetrains at higher than new cost. Or getting a huge (for Europe standards) car or an gas guzzling van.

Edit: turns out that, in the Netherlands, a car seat in the center seat isn’t required if it doesn’t fit in your car. Only a raised seat is allowed if the kids are smaller than 135cm. But what about safety? Then the middle one won’t have a car seat.

> Midjourney can definitely lower concept art costs by 5% to 20% as it stands.

I'm not sure that's even true either. After playing with Midjourney myself, it feels like the most aesthetically pleasing outputs regularly fall within a certain range of styles/prompts/hues ("hyper-realistic", "sci-fi", saturated neon orange/blue/red, etc). Getting consistency across prompts is also a big problem.

If everyone's using Midjourney to generate concept art, everyone's concept art ends up looking the same. At that point, you're presumably back to human artists (though maybe using generated art for inspiration).
Thanks for that, giving it a shot and quickly realising that being not able to fix mistakes, typewriter style and seeing my shame all over the screen during a drill I reckon is going to be a big help

As far as I know you can still buy an old car without any of these features, either pass or be exempt from any of emissions standards, and more or less drive that car wherever the heck you want it.

Unless of course the poor are attempting to purchase or finance new cars, which even I as someone who makes well into six figures without any debt except my mortgage, won’t do.
