I don't know TeXmaker, but it's highly unlikely that you can't compile this with any normal TeX distribution.

It's not a LaTeX file though, it's a TeXinfo file but since it includes the texinfo.tex file it shouldn't matter, you can run it like any plain TeX document. It uses texindex but that's included both in TeX Live and MikTeX, so you probably have it installed already. Just run on some kind of command line

> texindex c.cp

> texindex c.fn

A public transport commute is no less miserable and is easily 1 hour door to door each way.

IMHO car commute is worse if traffic is reliably awful as personally I find sitting in a traffic jam worse than sitting in public transport. But if traffic flows then public transport will take longer and be more annoying.

My preference goes to walking or cycling (if there is good infrastructure! I.e. segregated lanes) but that implies living near enough your workplace.
But this incredible miracle might be already be before your eyes. Let me explain. To me the ability to regenerate our tissue after injury has become to look more and more like a miracle. I have, over the course of my life so far, had numerous injuries to my hands and fingers, including cuts, scrapes, gouges, slices, bumps, bruises, shocks and other insults and attacks be they physical, chemical, biological or what not with the consequence of discoloration, blood flow, pain, swelling, itching or what not. And yet now, I can look at my hands and they look almost perfect. Surely the act that can return these wounds back to near perfection is as incredible as the act of bringing life about in the first place. The two seem to be outcomes of the same code, at least from where I stand.
MtGox, the infamous Bitcoin exchange that handled over 70% of the Bitcoin trading volume of 2010 was originally "Magic: the Gathering Online Exchange", a site for trading magic cards in MtG: Online.

It's very expensive, carriers have an economic incentive to simplify it and this is still where they end up. There are a long tail of provider circumstances that the single-payer model will need to figure out. Some examples:

* Small hospitals in low-density, underserved areas have to make up for underutilized equipment and personnel costs. They raise prices on unrelated, common procedures to break even (This is very common)

* CMS (medicare/medicaid) sets a low price for a procedure that's overly common in a particular facility, now that facility loses money for each occurrence. They choose other procedures to raise the price to try to break even.

* Larger hospitals have higher administrative and operations costs (for things like training and research) that benefit society, but need to be averaged out across all procedure costs. This differs from hospital to hospital.

* Smaller professional facilities or physicians groups (like Ambulatory Surgery Centers) have much lower administrative costs and a smaller staff, so they have lower overhead per procedure. They are designed to be efficient, and can handle lower prices. However if there are any major complications, they won't be able to service the patient, and have to send to a hospital. This then pushes all the highest-cost, ICU-type procedures into hospitals, where there is already a higher overhead, causing hospitals to need separate pricing to cover more complex patients.

A large single payer price set will probably force efficiencies into the healthcare system. It'll be great for folk's costs, but we may see many facilities close, and lines of care will be consolidated into specialty centers. (more travel to get imaging, procedures, or to see a specialist)

8gigs is "enough" for most people.

Even modern games don't usually use more than eg. 16gigs

Developers are a whole different story, that's why it's not unusual to find business-class laptops with 64+ gigs of ram (just for the developer to run the development environment, usually consisting of multiple virtual machines).
You can also write everything in binary directly.

govulncheck builds a static approximation of the call graph using Variable Type Analysis (VTA), which dynamically tabulates the set of interface method calls and the set of concrete types that each interface value may hold, to discover the set of functions potentially reachable from main. (VTA is a refinement of Rapid Type Analysis (RTA), which holds only one set of concrete types for all interface values in the whole program.) The result should be more precise than the linker.

>I would expect risk and effort minimization through perfection of strategy and technique

I don't think that's consistent with the fights in the books.

I mean Fingolfin physically fought a 40+ foot tall Morgoth in the Silmarillion. He was jumping around between huge pits that Morgoth's mace made when Morgoth tried to hit him. Fingolfin had a sword, while Morgoth held a mace that was bigger than Fingolfin, and yet Fingolfin was able to survive being beaten to the ground by said mace.

I don't think there's anyway to depict fights on screen like that without looking a bit silly.

If you start trying to realistically depict what it would look like to fight giant humanoids, you'd end up with something that is probably very interesting to people like you and myself, but that the majority of people would find boring. Plus that's not how the source material approached combat scenes.

Well, “effectively” in “effectively deprecated” is doing a lot of work there. :) I think one could make a plausible argument that the old Open Scripting Architecture is on its way out, but given that they’ve brought Shortcuts to the Mac, it’s obvious that the idea of having “a built-in general programmatic interface” isn’t being deprecated. Shortcuts will probably replace both Automator and OSA in the long run, but it’s not going to get there for a few years.

I think generally "green building" (at least the mainstream stuff) focuses on insulation + air tightness, and then mechanical ventilation. In that context, operable windows would be mostly be a "just in case of overheating" or similar, and the expectation would be CO2 et al would be managed by the ventilation.
The life cycle emissions of an EV are about half those of an ICE. So maybe a 2x factor is better. EV manufacture has a higher environmental cost than ICE.

I feel you. The good news is, if you look for it hard enough there are opportunities to make a living while NOT producing pointless/meaningless output. It took me 20+ years to accomplish that, but the reason is somewhat like the author of the post describes (even if this might be projection of his own situation upon others) : we don't try hard enough to use our knowledge, skills and talent productively -- towards improving housing, healthcare, education, charity, energy,... stuff that really matters.
Compared to Starliner and its move from Atlas V to Vulcan [0], SLS is a paragon of incremental success. Additionally, to be fair to SLS, many of the problems associated with the program have to do with the mobile launch platform, which was built for the previous Constellation program and required considerable refit for SLS.

This github page is the most interesting (fairly apolitical) read on the lab leak hypothesis that I've seen to date:

https://project-evidence.github.io/

After reading it, it seems most likely to me that patient 0 was a person who collected bats for the lab with insufficient safety equipment, but the article itself doesn't really present a strong conclusion.
> Against those metrics it’s a debacle, unclear if it ever will fly, especially more than once.

Not to mention a national security nightmare. Imagine a world without the COTS program, where we would most likely still be waiting for whatever version of Starliner that we finally got. We would right now be reliant on Russia to return our astronauts to earth from the ISS. Can you even imagine what we’d have to give up for their safety?

Conditions that support Liquid water is only transitory there. So you’re generally correct.

Most extremophiles we’re aware of tend towards high temps or if low temps, in the context of extreme high salinity and water presence. Which don’t line up with Mars much.

We’d have to be managing the environment they grew in, which makes it hard.

The underlying issue of course being energy gradients and biochemical availability of that energy. Life ‘eats’ to survive, but if the only energy gradients are feeble and biochemically hard to access, it’s not a good environment for life as we know it.

Ukraine didn't have the ability to join NATO, it's outlined in its founding documents (Constitution, and the Declaration on the State Sovereignty) that derive from declarations signed between USSR and Ukrainian SSR in 1990 ((Chapter IX.

It is true, the CPU-to-CPU interconnect fabric on both blue team and red team play into that, and it varies between generations and motherboards and chip sets. It gets very confusing quite quickly. Some server boards will let you dedicate PCIe slots to a specific CPU, others won't let you not dedicate certain slots to a CPU.

They are writing it off though, as you say, since I have heard that MS has not required staff to return to the office.

How many millions of people do you need to be self sufficient for 3nm semiconductors on Mars? TSMC has 65,000 employees. ASML has 32,000 employees and 5000 suppliers. I think at some point the Mars project would reach a point where you hit a population ceiling because too much stuff that couldn't be made on Mars would have to be imported and there aren't frequent enough launch windows or cargo capacity to do it.
> So you propose that telling them that the mountain is gone will actually make them believe that it is?

Yes... at least in the short term.

Think about seeing 100 issues vs 1000 issues. 1000 issues is clearly more demotivating. It's also a lot harder to tackle because of the sheer amount. You don't have enough time to fix all of them, so how to do you prioritize and distribute the work? With 100 issues you can get stuck in much quicker and prevent those 1000 issues from stacking up again.

> How do bug tracker entries waste people's time? Sure, confirming or fixing or otherwise working on a bug takes time, but that's hardly wasted. And if the bug just sits there, how does it waste time?

How many bugs do not have payoff proportional to the time spent triaging and working on them? Probably most. Cutting a whole lot of issues probably makes the 'right' decision for >50% of them.
Just because you’re shallowly dismissing my comment doesn’t make it wrong.

Linking in code with undefined (in this case, redefined) behavior doesn’t automatically invalidate the entire program. But thats the language used because once the undefined behavior is hit at runtime, the spec no longer defines what the behavior is and what the program will do afterwards.
No contest, yes. But can the world afford EVs even with the improved efficiency?

If you are comfortable with translating monadic Haskell code to C for-loops[0], you may be interested in the academic line that wound up as LINQ in C#. It starts with Grust[1], but on the way to industry you ought to be able to find some nice papers dealing with group-by[2] and joins[3].

You could publish these discount rules.

Or you could just multiply the 10M rows by the number of different entities giving 10*n M rows.

And then let the consumer of the data try to figure out the rules from the output...?

Ordinary mobile network use is not all that location-private. Wifi is worse. Looks like the mmwave 5g is even worse than that. Exact location privacy rarely directly matters to me personally but it doesn't follow that there is no risk of society-scale bad effects, or impact on other people that I ought to be concerned about. What I questioned, though, was whether it will really be practical for anyone to choose how much they engage with this. It's not so hard to turn wifi off when out and on when at home, lots of people do mote because it can be a nuisance than out of privacy concern. Will it really be equally easy to choose which bits of 5g spectrum a phone uses? If you think so, I have a a bridge for sale...
