I feel like I shouldn't be selling you on gambling, but I actually have very similar thoughts about some of the games you mentioned.

Slots: are a waste of time imo. I don't know why people like these.

Blackjack: is kinda fun but you really gotta print out a card that tells you how to play with which hands. You can kinda try to guess when you'll get a run of luck but I am also not super into this game. Feels very formulaic.

Poker: Ah yes, poker is FUN, texas hold em with friends is a great way to spend an evening. But I think it would be a lot less fun at a casino tournament because enough of those people are very serious about it and they will roll me.

Roulette: Good for a quick bet or two, but lingering at the table too long is a road to despair.

What does that leave me with? Craps!

Yes, craps. it is very easy to understand the basic bets and it is a communal game. Generally speaking, the people playing at a craps table are winning or losing together. As long as you avoid any of the exotic bets on the board, the payouts are actually fairly even for a casino game. I usually enjoy craps, but there's a catch of course. You can win a lot or lose a lot very quickly. It's important to stop when you lose your limit, and it's important to walk away once you've been playing a certain amount of time imo.

That's my take on casino games anyway. I go maybe every few years.
I like the ability to easily send a "tip" (money in form of a token) to some of the publisher sites. It's a reward for them, and a way to vote (signal preference) for me.

My general take on anyone caring about this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O9YL04v-J5U
Suppose you want to receive 100 bits, and you have have a 98% chance of receiving each bit. If the message is broadcast in a loop (and you know which bit you're listening to), chances are after one listen you'll be missing a couple of bits, but on a second listen you'll probably get those; so you'll usually take 200 bit-times to receive the message, with a likely range of 100 - 300, with higher values unlikely. (You can do better by not listening to the full message with the last missing bit; this saves you expected ~33 bit times.) With a fountain code, for some small N you have to receive (and identify) any 100+N bits... so for N = 10, say, you expect to take 112 bit times to receive the full message (100+N+misses), with an expected range of 110 - 115 bit times or so. So both the expected value and the deviation go down.

So true, I was loving the main storyline, but they had to ruin it all with a bad soap opera draped around the plot.
> but not for general TV shows

I did. I had a fancy VCR that would automatically skip commercials "Commercial Advance", and I setup a VCR+ program on my computer so I could quickly and easily program the VCR.

When I missed a show (it was rare) I found online review sites that would recap the episode, sometimes they even had screenshots. Or I would stock up recordings and wait for the rerun, and then continue.

Back then TV stations were pretty good about having reruns relatively soon after an episode, specifically for people who missed the original broadcast. They would often do them late at night.

# Why is CRLite able to compress so much data?

Bloom filters are probabilistic data structures with an error rate due to data collisions. However, if you know the whole range of data that might be tested against the filter, you can compute all the false positives and build another layer to resolve those. Then you keep going until there are no more false positives. In practice, this happens in 25 to 30 layers, which results in substantial compression.

EDIT: Is there any risk of filter blow up (think 1000's of layers) if a CA did a mass revocation (maybe some root key leak)?

Good points.

To be more precise, my point was more practical and less utopian.

The main characters in this episode lie in a way that could easily be proven wrong. It’s fun to watch and dramatic, but I think unrealistic in a world of perfect memory.
> What would be the point of still requiring those broad permissions while losing features and the ability to innovate on extension-side matching algorithms

The point would be to have those features, obviously? Cosmetic filtering is extremely important, there was never any possibility that MV3 was going to remove it, and you just removed it yourself for absolutely no reason.

I'm sorry, but if you're just removing features from your extension to make a "point" about "respecting stated reasons" then I don't think people should take what you say about it seriously. This might be an art project or a political protest, but people shouldn't confuse it for an actual attempt at extension development. You're taking a single reason that they gave, two years ago, and pretending like it should dictate every single thing you should do with your extension, out of some weird form of stubbornness and bloody-mindedness.

That model doesn't work because it relies on you having data available to set up that interaction with the local carrier.

That's not to mention how likely carriers are to make it difficult to swap eSIMs around.

This is why coins like Ethereum Classic needs like 50k confirmations which is a 1-2 week waiting period for deposits, since blocks take like 15 seconds to mine and a 51% attack on the ETC network is relatively affordable compared to BTC/ETH, so fake chains sprout up very often and many transactions would be reversed

In my suburban region there are 100 local building departments. I'm not kidding. There are villages that have not allowed for anything new since they were founded in the 1920s. These are inner ring suburbs that have not allowed for essentially any new construction or redevelopment for a hundred years. We literally had one local village attempt to stop the state from expanding the commuter rail system.
One of the main reasons it's so delayed, is that everyone gets to make some of the parts. Which then have to be put together on-site, despite inevitable mismatches.

so... repetition I find is very important for speaking and writing. Duolingo nails that. In the same way German class in high school did, hours of practice really helped my speaking. Now I can't really put together sentences - but I have a decent shot at deciphering my mom while she speaks to my grandomther in german, or reading an article. So I think duolingo attacks that nicely. If you want a lot of vocab and reading comprehension I think books are good for that.
> I still fought the borrow checker after a year of using Rust.

That's interesting. How much Rust did you use during that year? And how level of proficiency did you reach?

> And I found many situations while using Rust where I either needed to clone, or use unsafe

That sounds like an uncommon trade-off. From my experience, the trade-off was usually “clone or put lifetime parameters everywhere”, which is annoying (and I really wish Rust analyzer could help with at some point, because it's pretty mechanical), but it was quite rare, because most of the time you can just move things (that is transferring ownership), unlike in C where you have either a copy or a pointer.

> or use unsafe where it's easier to make a mistake than in other languages because the syntax is extremely unergonomic and the memory semantics are much less clear.

This is unfortunately true. Miri helps, but there's a wide margin for improvement on that front.

Interior ceilings are often built as modular panels for this reason, and sometimes even floors. But walls, especially exterior walls, are engineered to serve multiple functions, such as acting as a moisture, thermal, and acoustic barrier, in addition to carrying utilities and structural loads. All of this is best served by arranging, and sealing different material layers carefully within the enclosure. Within the ruthless logic of cost optimization, incorporating modularity conflicts with building-code-regulated neccessities, and will only be used by some small percent of people, for some small percent of time.

That's funny. One of the biggest complaints about Big 5 is that it's too wishy-washy and doesn't have much to offer behind the scenes in soft theory.

For example the "generally people flip all their letters at the end of the work day" principle with four-letter type, or the way you can extract cognitive functionality from the four letters to explore potential cognitive gifts and blind spots.

I've arranged groups like you stated and found some interesting takeaways. Like one of the partners can perceive an annoyance with the work requirement and they become an effective interference machine team rather than a results-team. It's tricky because they are never really working in isolation and one partner will also be looking for outside opportunities and so on.

There is some interesting theory on this, which expresses that not only do some kinds of people work effectively together really well, but when they are also matched with the right project or field, they will carry the project out in a way that exceeds normal expectations. By definition they have more energy to spend and it replenishes quickly.
I don’t necessarily disagree but I still get an Upton Sinclair vibe from fly.io folks declaring that this shift is happening as a matter of fact / by fiat.
SpaceX is maybe better explained by The Innovator's Dilemma than by the profit motive.

They have radically different ways of doing launches. These are directly threatening to NASA people wedded to the old ways. In order for NASA to adopt their methods wholesale, they'd have to reorganize completely and probably fire a lot of people. And still do an inferior job, because it would take them years.

Wait 20 years and SpaceX will be just as wedded to the methods of 2022 as NASA's wedded to 1969.

What I said about The Innovator's Dilemma is not the whole story. Governments are inherently more risk-adverse, so they'd prefer to take three times as long if it's perceived as safer.
This whole comment thread is weird. That neighborhood is surrounded by shopping, probably more so than the worst suburb "developments". And that isn't a normal walmart, as you can see from the maps if you click on it: https://www.google.com/maps/place/Walmart+Neighborhood+Marke...

Honestly, it's articles like this that lead me to be so stingy with my attention. I wanted to close the tab a third of the way into the article not because I'm incapable of paying attention, but because the article was wasting my time by shoving the same simple point into my face over and over again with no evidence or interesting implications. I will pay attention to articles with a reasonable density of information all the way through to the end. This was not one of those articles, but I read it through to the end just because of the meta-topic. After several paragraphs of restating the title in different words, peppered with pointless prose, the author assumes that you must agree with them about this problem by the last section. So what's the solution they give? "I have no idea."

And sure, you don't need to have a solution in mind in order to present a problem to someone, but you need some content to turn a problem into an article/blogpost that I'm willing to read. And this article has basically no content of substance.
It just occurred to me, Zig could be a great learning-language for CS

When I was in college we mostly used C++, which exposed (and thereby taught) a lot of core concepts around how computers and low-level languages work. But it was also a bit of a nightmare for... unrelated, obvious reasons.

Rust is great for building software, but as a learning language I think it introduces too many additional concepts, has too many additional constraints, and has too many magical abstractions. Eg, doing manual deallocation helps you later appreciate what the borrow-checker does and why it exists

Zig is supposed to be C++ without all the pain and misery (esp around tooling). That could make it perfect for teaching people about pointers and heap allocations and working with bytes, with minimal extra pain and friction
Hate to be that guy (just kidding ;). This isn’t one of those things you pick up in a book. It’s like lifting or any other exercise: you just do it.

Go outside, sit down somewhere, and focus on the external world and not your thoughts. You could even do the whole “breath in, breath out, and empty your thoughts” meditation schtick — if you feel it’s necessary.

If you haven’t been able to focus in a long time, 15 minutes will be hectic. You’ll know you’re being mindful when it feels like you’ve melted into the environment — and are simply an antennae to the stimulus.

Also good for disassociative traumas — the kind that give you the “1,000 yard stare.”

I hope so too. I disabled touch controls on my WH-1000XM3 (the over the ear type) because an accidental swipe would rewind or skip to the next item (e.g. videos on YouTube). When I have to adjust the earbud version (WF-1000XM3) it's really easy to touch the controls on accident as well. Even the Airpods Pro that I have can be touchy when adjusting because they have sensors to pause when you take them out and resume when you put them back in (great feature) but they also sometimes pause (or unpause) incorrectly depending on the situation. (I just realized that is an option that can be disabled so I'm torn about disabling it now. Single click does pause and unpause as well.)
It would take far more energy to extract the 3He from the moon's crust than you could get fusing it.
Since it's not feasible to lay track everywhere, and since this could be implemented in software, it could be an achievable, relatively cheap, and possibly near term, improvement. "Long range" road trains could include some hardware.

Wow, I have a completely different opinion of it. To me, B5 is some of the best television I've ever watched. I like it for very different reasons than any of ST though, they're apples and oranges. Comparing to DS9 is a disservice to both shows, IMO.

For me, that's because it tells a long-tail story really well. From the very beginning of the show they knew exactly what was going to happen later on, allowing everything to tie together really seamlessly.

Watching that all unfold and your understanding of it grow is just fantastic.

My only complaint is the whole S4/S5 debacle, because they got told it was being canceled so they had to wrap up quicker than expected, then got another season and had to re-open all the threads they just closed. Somewhat awkward.

As for the actors, I think they did a fantastic job. They're part of the reason I don't think a newer version of the show could work - you just couldn't have a convincing Delenn, Mollari, G'kar, or Sheridan like they did in the original.

And sure, the visuals of the show aren't fantastic. But who cares? A good show's merits aren't in its visuals, so long as they're sufficient to tell the story.

Is there a plan to make the existing Chrome extension update to this (somewhat neutered) version automatically when the time comes for v2 deprecation (which appears to be in January 2023 for non-enterprise Chrome users)? I ask because I have provided my elderly relatives with Chromebooks and if the built-in adblocker is going to stop working I'll need to remote desktop to their machines (which requires a fairly-complicated-for-them dance with generating one-time codes) in order to install this other version when it's released...

(I personally use Firefox but I didn't want to give them a regular Windows laptop because they'd have to re-learn far too many things -- the old laptops were Windows XP -- and ChromeOS is both harder to break and easier to recover.)
Maybe because China has it's own system called BeiDou?

Indeed, the naive algorithm is quadratic due to the multiplications. Yet everyone familiar with even a bit of crypto and/or otherwise working with huge numbers knows that multiplication can be subquadratic.

Pelotons - the race variety of a paceline - can only be safely formed with road closures because they typically swell to fill at least one lane of the road. They are not just 1 rider behind another, but often 2-4 riders wide.

Pacelines for group rides and the like can be formed whenever, and they do not form just because of a crosswind. When I used to train with a group, we would almost always form pacelines in single file, on every ride.
A super summarized version of the Linux From Scratch (LFS) 11.2 book
[UPDATED FROM 11.0 TO 11.2!]

Hi everyone. I've written some instructions and scripts to build LFS (Linux From Scratch), version 11.2, as simply as possible (I know, not that simple, but anyway). It's basically a super summarized version of the LFS book.

You can check the instructions and get the scripts from my GitHub repository: https://github.com/luisgbm/lfs-scripts

Key points:

* First, this guide does not replace reading the whole LFS book. I highly recommend that you read it at least once. Only then you should use the automation scripts provided here.

* The whole process is run inside VirtualBox.

* You need two hard disks attached to your VM (one for the host, one for receiving the LFS build).

* Most steps will be executed via Shell scripts (there are four of them).

* Some steps need to be manually run.

* At the end, you will be able to create a separate VM and boot from it directly.

Hope you enjoy it, and feel free to send me feedback.
