A system for choosing a head of state that requires an extensive training period and that meant they couldn't simply be turfed out on the whims of a gaggle of swinging voters has something to be said for it.

Gawd, the same results shuffled to different positions on every different page of results, and how they make ads and sponsored "results" almost impossible to distinguish... It's truly terrible.
in that case, consider that around a third of all suicides are actively drunk at the time, and people addicted to alcohol suffer as much as a 120x greater suicide risk

https://www.alcoholrehabguide.org/resources/dual-diagnosis/a...

and then consider the mortality and harm caused directly by consumption of alcohol, which is significant, and one of the statistically largest causes of death at 140,000 people killed per year

https://nccd.cdc.gov/DPH_ARDI/

and once again, the involvement of psychedelics with with suicide is extremely limited and rare. psychedelics are often self-reported as a source of long-term relief from suicidal feelings, after even a single experience.

It doesn’t seem like you googled or looked into how people named Alexa actually feel before pronouncing how they should feel.

This comment chain really shows why these responsibility vetting teams are needed, a lot of corporate workers are not empathetic or considerate beyond their immediate siloed task and assume everyone should react exactly the same as they did to only very tangentially similar experiences.
The things that made C successful are rarely recognized even by its fans, but much moreso by its critics and competitors. Things it is most criticized for are among them. They have made C hard to unseat. Too-easy conversion between arrays and pointers is one such criticism, but such conversion was essential to its success.

C++ succeeded not just because it can call C libraries -- most languages can -- but because it retained every advantage C has, even those that few recognize. C++'s STL is a success because it built on what made C a success, deliberately. Alex Stepanov, anyway, understood. Most STL components are really just examples.

Today we are locked in battle against C's weaknesses, particularly in how easy it is to exploit C programs. We lose that battle when new languages leave behind what made C successful. Too-easy accidental conversions bad; deliberate conversions possible, good.

C got various other things subtly right, too: manifestly enough to make up for its blatant failings. If you would displace C, it is much more important to retain its strengths than to fix its flaws. You can do that without understanding by copying. Retaining strengths while leaving behind flaws requires understanding, which has proven too hard for most.
DeSci Boston MIT Sept 18th – First US DeSci Day
Howdy Fam,

We're hosting the first ever DeSci (Decentralized Science) day in the US at MIT, this Sept 18th.

For those scientists interested in web3, and web3 builders curious about science - this is the place to be!

We'll have a stream link up a few days before the conference for those who can't make it IRL
We don’t fund lots of potential transport modes, like canals, blimps, or horse carriage ways. Dollar per dollar, region specific studies in the US show that we get more out of roads, which is why the money goes there. It’s just about basic economics.

I think what's often being overlooked is the complexity of the business ( or underlying processes) that SAP supports. There's this strong,yet often unsupported argument that something complex can somehow be made super simple. I work with Salesforce, which on its own approaching the complexities SAP supports, only in different areas. So we have a system,which supports a nonlinear process with tons of inputs, multiple supply chains, etc. The system is designed to support it. It takes users a few weeks to be at least somewhat comfortable with it. Can it be simplified? A little bit, but the underlying business complexities won't change because of it.
Eh, it's maybe a bit less attractive but not "quite ugly". It mostly seems to take some bright shades (like reds, greens, and blues) and darkens them. It's not like MS's high contrast option (which does indeed make the whole system quite ugly, the perhaps does an even better job than the iPhone of improving visibility).
> If there weren't so much clickbait, quality news would stand out much more easily.

So much this. I took a break from some news websites a few years back, when I recently visited one of them, I was sad to see that many front page news articles had clickbait titles.
I think you are just falling to this same nostalgia bias.

In terms of the material abundance that one experiences today, it is just on a different level from 40 years ago.

Housing ownership is also not the be all end all. And while the prices are higher, the rates are lower so that you will not be paying a greater proportion of your income on housing.

Compare to 40 years ago:
https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/MDSP

To look at housing and say that the high price of homes negates all quality of life improvements in the last 40 years seems wrong to me.

I guess this came up from all the posts about QE2 being older than sliced bread yesterday.
I'm 67 and I don't think I've ever discovered a "passion". For many people, the one true passion meme is a myth. Me? I seem to be infinitely curious and have bounced from one interest to the other, throughout my life. I had a successful career, married, more interests than I can ever "master". But, I have fun. I learn new things. I don't give a big rip about many of the hot topics that the younger generation seems to think matter, e.g., identity politics, climate change, etc. As some have noted, life isn't a video game. It's a journey. Travel well and enjoy it. I once had a guy working for me that took ADHD drugs to allow him to "focus". All he did was program and have dinner with his girlfriend, who eventually left him because of his monomaniacal immersion in .NET. I can't think of a worse way to live. And WOW 10+ years ago consumed some of my time as well. Though it's been so neutered, it's hard to imagine anyone still plays it.
>Is this an American thing or something? Almost all the cats I've ever known were outdoor cats in the UK.

I can't speak for anyone else, but I'd never allow my cats outside.

Not for ecological reasons, but because I live in a flat on the fourth (that'd be the third floor in the UK) floor of an apartment building in NYC.

If my cats got out of my apartment, they'd have to go down three flights of stairs and then wait for someone to open two separate doors in order to get out into the street.

Once on the street, there are many hazards for cats, not least of which are automobiles.

Having been to London, I imagine that there's a similar dynamic there as well.

As such, I'd say that it's more about urban/suburban/rural settings than different countries.
Depending on the actual scope of the study (how many they sampled), even if samples were anonymously labeled, publication is a bound to be a violation of the Federal Privacy Rule protecting astronauts' right to medical privacy.
I think it’s a great exercise to come up with declarative abstractions over the DOM API. I had quite a bit of fun doing this. It only took a few hundred lines of JS to make a core for a useful web app.

The security team at my current company also refuse to allow self password resets. The only way is to call our service desk and give them your DoB and last 4 of your SSN... and they completely ignored me when I pointed out that for at least half the population the US that information is more or less public due to several data leaks.

We’re shipping LNG to Europe, and limited pipeline capacity in the northeast is a constraint.
For some products it's obviously a fine system. A majority of people will never pay for a search engine, or social media, so ads are a good way to pay for those services.

Where I think companies, such as Google or Meta, goes off the deep end, is the amount of money you can realistically extract from advertising, without compromising your product. Both Google and Meta (much to my surprise) are extremely wealthy, but at the cost of what I'd call decency or morale. Both could have fine products and successful business, but somewhat smaller, and be financed by ads.

If you look back that the original Google ads, where they not successful? They certainly seemed to pay the bills back them. My point is: If your company is financed by advertising, you need to accept that there's a limit to your potential growth, if you still want to be view in an overall positive light.
I actually have never tried Rust and probably never will, you lied when you implied I was a fan of the language. I'd probably hate it, in fact.

The idea it's either "Rust or Zig" allows the poorly considered logical jump to Zig. I wouldn't use Rust because it's annoying too, but I also wouldn't choose Zig because I consider part of my professional responsibility to be using...literally any language that has memory safety.
You may be confusing USA Congressional fiscal policy with central bank monetary policy. Federal Reserve (private contractor with no federal government employees) could spend more resources on regulating banks instead of bailing out banks via purchases of bank's underperforming debts.
The rest of the world left SMS because their carriers charged way too much for it. In the US, it's really unusual these days to not have unlimited SMS built into even the most basic pre-paid plans. Apples & Oranges...

Your own personal feelings aside - why would Apple not adopt RCS for non-iDevices? Do they share your opinion? If so, why not push iMessage as the standard protocol and make it available on all devices, work with carriers to make it native, etc?

Because Apple wants you to buy an iPhone. They are not a good actor in this situation... it's really that simple.
Because Proxy wasn't supported when React was designed. I bet if they were to design it a year later, they would go with Proxy. But it wasn't an option at the time, Proxy is not something you can polyfill.

Now, the community doesn't know about that. So when you tell them that there's a better way to deal with component state, they immediately get defensive: "No, setState() is way better, there's no magic, it's very explicit".

But setState() was a necessary evil, not a genius invention. They made it super-explicit because it was the only way they could do it. Not because of some great foresight.

Is it bad? Probably not. I bet it's tolerable. But why settle for less when there are better alternatives?
The comments are usually the place to go because HOPEFULLY someone has pointed out the naked emperor. Though more and more that can get downvoted.
Wow. That is pretty insane. I hope there is a tooling to surface a warning when it detects this.

But lots of domain specific languages have idiosyncrasies. The Apex language used to program Salesforce is a half-implemented clone of Java from a decade ago. And they didn't cherry pick the best parts.

Well that would drive up demand for fossil fuels and profits for extraction companies, leading to more extraction. Is this a real idea (proposed policy in a country) or just something you wrote down?

Because everybody I know who's bought a VR headset (any brand) lets it collect dust after a month, and I don't think that's a fluke. Buying a VR headset is not using a VR headset.
I agree with the sentiment of tracing a headline back to the topic's best coverage.

But posting plain studies directly to non-industry forums is often not ideal. The studies are not written for a general audience and rely on jargon, shorthand, assumptions, and shared education that general audience readers are at least as likely to misinterpret as professional science writers.

We like to beat up on science writers for writing poor and misrepresentative coverage of research, but are you sure a bunch of random (and often compulsively contrarian) intellectuals trying to earn internet points are an improvement?

The best of both worlds is probably to find the best coverage, and then add the study in a comment.
You could try running a cycle in the dryer with those stuffed animals. Maybe the dryer filter would pick up something.
Kind of like MIPS helmets?
I have a question about incentives in organizations. If you form a team to identify problems in your org, wouldn't the team keep finding more problems, no matter what, to justify the value of themselves? A DEI officer will find more injustice in a university so over the years U-M History Department had 2.3 DEI officers per staff member. Or Gebru's team had been finding more and more egregious behavior in Google AI.

On the other hand, security teams are highly regarded in a company, even though they are supposed to identify security/privacy problems in the org as well. What made security different from those ethics teams?
Never heard of him. I'll bet getting an article published in Byte must've felt like his crowning achievement.

You are technically correct. I got limited into a different matchmaking system than my friends. But the end result was that I couldn't play with them anymore.
I’m sure they could remove spam results if they wanted to, but what’s the incentive when alternative engines are mediocre and time wasting will mean you’re going to use their engine for longer.
This seems to assume rational, mature peers with a shared goal. I have yet to find such a place.
"Virtually" is where your argument falls apart, and I want to be clear I'm not just dunking and moving on, I do understand the position that _not_ using a memory safe language is irresponsible is fairly new.

That's not true. Your phone number is your "account", and phone numbers, by law in the US, are not tied to a particular carrier. You can take your phone number, and messages wherever you go.
It is as easy as finding a duplicate signature. And while it takes some computational power (pennies comparing to PoW), you need just one watcher to guarantee that chain will remain honest. So, 1 honest person out of n. Almost as good as it gets.

Whole spiel about "only EF will run those, whole thing is centralized" is just noise. You as an attacker can't distinguish between situation when I'm running a slasher from one when I'm not. Now go and risk the attack.

Amazing to get perspective on what made C fresh and exciting - I only have known the basic narrative "Unix used C so it got super popular", but this article really filled in the info.

Also I could imagine what it was like living through this time, schematics for modems, cheesy ads for EEPROM writers, what a wonderful magazine, I would have been waiting by the door for this to be delivered each month.

> That requires a deposit insurance scheme

It doesn't require it, though the existing structure uses this in part to allow banks to take excessive lending risk. It also allows depositors to not care about solvency of the bank.
Thank you for your comment. It made me think.

Although I do think it's a bit harsh to call his writing contrived or stiff, I did get a sort-of similar vibe of "individual moments stringed along" when I first read his books.

I do disagree when it comes to overall themes. Granted, he was not the masterful storyteller along the lines of Terry Pratchett, but I do think he nailed some of the general sci-fi satire points.

I like Adams, Pratchett and Gaiman separately (see comments by others for context). Perhaps my fondness for Adams is that I discovered him first.
Not missing much, just that production integration of AI has become a feature-addition to a good data model.

The digital twin model is just a data model. Advanced simulation could be considered AI, but that border gets fuzzy with "just the same math everyone has always done, with more compute."
Another options is pass [0], which uses GPG to encrypt your stuff. Everything happens through the CLI but there are also GUI frontends for it. There's also gopass [1] which is very similar and compatible but does some extra stuff such as versioning with git.

Similarly to this API compatibility there's KeePassDX [2] for mobile phones which is compatible with the KeePass database format. There's also KeePass [3] which is the original built with .NET.

I personally use Bitwarden though because maintaining sync of databases on mobile phones is painful. Also keeping backups up to date is hard and time consuming, I do export my encrypted database once in a while though.

If you have a phone, you have a phone number. You can send a SMS to any mobile phone number on the planet and are (basically) guaranteed delivery. You cannot say the same for some proprietary system like Slack...
I don't think we need a study to show the obvious outcome when you set up incentives in certain ways.
"Australia's history" was a poor choice of phrase exactly because of that ambiguity. In fact it was explicitly referring to the period since 1901, which very few people would consider to be the start of "Australia's history".
While the business problems are complex, there are precious few affordances given to the humans operating SAP user interfaces and even fewer capabilities provided to integrators. Indeed, while it may void your warranty, it's often simpler to query the underlying database directly -- and many vendors do -- than to use the trash interfaces provided by the software.

SAP will fall from a thousand cuts of the facade pattern.
It says much those teams are really just a welfare program in the showcase window.

Exactly, that's why s-engine monopolies are bad. People don't see it, but it is a big step towards giving fellatio to a machine. If you want to be unique you will suffer, because the shitty search engine that has monopoly over the market governs what will get a green light and what won't. And as the years pass more and more the faceless, intangible corpo backed machine bullshit will govern our lives.
I'm a fan of this guideline:

>> "Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith."

It would be absurd to suggest queer people are mostly furries, so that interpretation is implausible. Act as though the person you reply to is rational, and you can discard the absurd.

A strong, good faith reading could reasonably assume I don't know anything about Venn diagrams and didn't realize all the circles are equal when I posted that. I'm assuming good faith, and that's why I didn't just flag their post for trolling. Maybe they're not trolling and just don't practice this principle.

AWS CDK is pretty magical. The whole "constructs" that they have are very powerful. I was able to setup a scale-to-zero RDS Serverless database with an auto scaling backend using ECS + Fargate in a few hours. (With zero prior experience with the CDK)

You can see that code here if you're curious:
https://github.com/lunasec-io/lunasec/blob/master/lunatrace/...

It's more complicated now but if you look at the history of that "backend-cdk" folder then it's simpler a few months ago.

The important bit is the "ecs-patterns" library. That's the one that is magical and deals with setting up the load balancer, cluster, etc for you. And the way we shove the Docker images in I found to be quite straightforward. (And deploys are one line)
