I had the same impression, I cannot see how it is different from the tools that allow file splitting (for later archiving on floppies. CD's, DVD's, etc.) that exist since forever, when/if implemented in OS filesystem drivers then it will be more "transparent", but until then it seems to me not different from multi-part archives, such as rar or similar.

If I may it would make more sense (to me at least) to use a directory and have a descriptor file, not entirely unlike multi-part vmdk's are implemented.

As a "person of obesity" who sits at a desk all day and doesn't eat the healthiest diet, I 100% agree with this.

When I decide to focus on being more active and eating healthier, my weight goes down. Do I have to work a little harder than others? Possibly, but crying about that isn't going to make me less obese.
I just had a rush of happiness by reading your comment. Thanks for sharing your experience!
Twenty or thirty years ago it was always a bad sign when someone is assigned to something with a name like "Special Projects". It meant the company didn't know what to do with you, but didn't want to fire/layoff just yet.
There are predictable garbage collectors, though. Not every GC is a stop-the-world type. A good reference-counting system with the ability to weak-reference a variable can be pretty predictable and avoid loops as just one example.
Perhaps not, but there doesn't need to be legal benefit. Remember that there is absolutely no "right to erasure" in the USA (and I don't think it ever could exist given our First Amendment). At best, they can sue if there's defamation or copyright infringement.
>by in large, it's calories in vs calories out.

It's absolutely not... I have zero sympathy for the 'fat pride', political fatness etc side of body positivity. But I can confirm both through personal experience and research that your perspective is uselessly reductive. Endocrine disruption, sleep schedule, glycemic index and pharmaceutical drugs can all enormously impact on weight gain and retention. Moreover the 'calories in, calories out hypothesis' (first outlined in this paper from the 1950's - https://academic.oup.com/ajcn/article-abstract/6/5/542/47299...), has been debunked (see this recent met-analysis - https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4516704/). Weight gain / loss in humans is a dynamic system, where the body will preconsciously adjust activity preferences and metabolic activity to maintain weight homeostasis. There are also enormous interindividual differencies in how the body responds to calorie load - related to genetic and gut microflora differences - https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/gut-bacteria-and-weight... (not a link to a study directly, but links to dozens of stories confirming impact of gut bacteria on weight and overall health). Additionally, we've seen cross species weight gain, including in species that exist outside of human society, indicating that there are environmental factors for cross cultural weight gain beyond worse diets and more sedentary life styles -

I think it may be worth pointing out that this system as demonstrated exacerbates the two largest problems contractors face: materials costs and sourcing labor.

The specialized manufacturing requirements for modules makes sourcing materials from traditional suppliers functionally impossible, adds additional (highly specialized) manufacturing overhead, and drives up the cost of materials.

The wildly non-standard construction methods mean subcontractors will have to train on using the system, and projects will start from a functional zero-prior-experience knowledge base, which invites a diversity of headaches and potential safety issues.

On an unrelated note, insurers are likely to be deeply skeptical of unproven construction methods in general, and plywood-heavy construction methods in particular given their propensity to fail catastrophically from even relatively minor moisture-related insults. Insurance premiums are likely to reflect that.
> where you fear talking about your pain because you'll be judged, shunned, rejected, mocked, blamed

This really strikes to the heart of it. If the outcome of a fifteen minute appointment I’ve waited nine months for will determine whether I’m going to receive a diagnosis that _might_ lead to a better outcome, there’s no way I’m not going to do a lot of research to make that appointment go well.

And then there’s no way that anxiety won’t be monetized in some way.

We need doctors to be able to be compassionate people working towards the best solution, instead of trying to pigeon hole diagnosis codes for vague, protracted illnesses so insurance companies will allow them to continue working.

You say calories in calories out, but it’s not true. A rock has zero calories, but eat a rock that’s too big to pass through your digestive tract and you’ll gain one rock-worth of weight (followed by death).

That’s why I prefer a much more simple and natural model: mass-in vs mass-out.

By removing records of KF, we cannot prove the acts done on KF. You know, evidence, the thing you need to know if something is true or not. Or the thing you need to prosecute people civilly (or criminally). If I wanted to rightfully go after users of KF, or KF itself, how exactly do you intend to do that when all records are destroyed.

"The guberment will handle it" - they're not, and haven't for years. The only justice to be had here is if people themselves push for it. Alphabet orgs could care less, if not already members of it.

You're being both intellectually dishonest, hyperbolic, and strawmanning at the same time. Content that is illigal is taken down as it is reported. Not all content is illigal, no one has claimed KF for things outside of organized harassment.
This is an excellent point; I should have addressed safety in my article. I'll point out that in my use case, I'm using `safe` on data I create and not any user-generated data.

Was it working / were you making money?

Automated handwritten notes companies seem like they render text using a handwritten font and then potentially pass it off (via API) to a “print anything and ship it” company — is that an accurate statement?

Is there a clear advantage to building and maintaining the hardware / plotting pen portion? i.e. isn’t that something you could do by randomizing font parameters?

Also, it does seem like a pretty crowded space - was that ever a problem? Googling “handwritten notes automation” brings up a lot of companies/ads.

Thanks. Really curious about this!
I'm wary of this early result.

If the mice were defecating equal calories yet some were putting on weight and others weren't then the energy had to go somewhere. Until there's a clear idea of where that energy went, this result is little more than speculation.

In contrast there was another study earlier this year that showed "naturally thin" people simply eat less.

There are genetic predispositions in play here. The gut biome too may play a role. The biggest factor however is our relationship with food. People eat for a variety of reasons eg for the experience, to self-medicate (eg anxiety, depression), as a reward, as an activity that itself acts as a reward, etc. The healthiest attitude to have is to treat food as fuel.

I tend to eat the same thing a lot. Part of this is decision fatigue. Part of it is probably ADHD or something adjacent. But a lot of it is simply thinking of food as fuel and not tying it to emotional states, social obligations or hobbies.
Being kind is a cultural trait that we have been selected for, over generations, to increase our chances of survival and also ROI. There is nothing gratuitous about it once you understand where humans come from.
There is no proof at all that that user hasn't simply abandoned a handle, for others likewise the connection is less than tenuous and besides i.e. Twitter has much worse, proven track record of doing that and worse. Stop the knee-jerk reaction and spreading wilful misinformation.
Yup until recently, they had no real competition in the fast food chicken sandwich game. Popeyes and McDonalds have caught up some amount, but not fully. They also don’t have waffle fries. In college, the line for the Chic Fil A was impossibly long every single day because the food was great. It also somehow doesn’t give you as much of the bad feeling you usually get after eating fast food.

The midtown locations in New York are also incredibly efficient. They take orders on iPads in the line and the order is done by the time you get to the front.
If you paint a giant target on your back while also revealing who and where you are, people that dislike you for whatever reason are going to target you. That is reality and will continue to be reality even without a site like Kiwi Farms.

My initial comment communicated that OP was probably going to be fine. Or not. It's not like I can tell.
Many cities were originally built mostly in wood (e.g. London, Amsterdam). There's a good reason that they aren't any more. They burnt down - quickly and spectacularly. Typically laws were then made to require only re-building in stone e.g. After the great fire of London "The Rebuilding of London Act 1666 banned wood from the exterior of buildings"
> I absolutely will criticize math academia for failing to teach mathematics.

It's not the job of a professor of pure mathematics to teach kids mathematics in school. That's like saying that it's Stephen King's job to teach people how to read.

> Questions like "I give you a polynomial in x and ask you to find its zeroes" in textbooks and from teachers tell me fucking nothing as regards why I should bother to spend my precious time learning any math.

The problem with mathematics is that it's so versatile as a tool that it can be used many different contexts, but no teacher can predict which contexts are going to matter or be accessible to you.

That said, it is not my experience that you're never told why certain things are useful. In my experience, most people just forget those examples, because when they're 16, things like "businesses have to solve large systems of equations to optimise their processes" or "this function models the pattern of growth of a population of animals (or of an epidemic outbreak)" don't really mean a lot to them either. But those things are far from useless in real life.

> Programming, as I've already said, taught me the hows and whys of why math is important

I feel that you try to view all of mathematics through a programming lens, but mathematics is important to a whole range of other disciplines, such as physics, economics, social sciences, etc. Programming gives you a view into mathematics, but it's usually a narrow view.

> No other academic subject faces the amount of hate math gets, because their importance are all immediately obvious.

Math does tend to stand out (at least in the West; it is my understanding, that in many Asian societies, maths is valued much more, because the societal value of it is more evident), but every subject gets that "hate" to a lesser extent. There's no lack of complaints from people not understanding why they ought to read Shakespeare in school, or why they should care about "all these people that are long dead".

> Math academia is a resounding failure

Your very own job wouldn't exist without "math academia".

I already said that I agree that there are deficiencies in mathematical teaching (especially at the school level). It's not unreasonable to want to devote more time in school to applications of maths than to its techniques. But that blanket anger you seem to have towards mathematics as a whole is wholly unjustified.

> show me how to do mindblowingly amazing things with math instead

The "mindblowing" stuff you can do with maths, such as cryptography or machine learning, can only be understood by means of studying highly abstract and, at first glance, "useless" maths.

> In every human interaction you can perceive the battle over power, social status and personal interests.

I agree with this in general - but some interactions really are more about mutual feeling-good, than about power struggles. Of course, those interactions are necessarily with people who are close to us.

I think the better way to put this would be:

In every interaction *with strangers* you can perceive the battle over power, social status and personal interests.
> If you asked him for serious thoughts on the topic of abused children, you would most likely receive a completely different response, one that you would probably like.

You realize it's RMS we're talking about here? Who has repeatedly harassed female coworkers and interns, and who thinks that "sex with kids is okay"?

Even if he later tried to retract his statements, I'm not sure I would trust him with any "mature" take on the topic of child abuse (or any other social topic for that matter)
We have had to increase prices, but on most things aren't maintaining the normal percentage margin. We've really trimmed down on some products, which is making it tricky because our operating costs are going up too.

Most people in the supply chain are doing the same, 'breathing in' and hoping we get through this mess.
It's silly. If Kiwifarms benefits from and wanted this, try telling it to those people on Twitter, or to admins and moderators on Reddit, where even talking about Kiwifarms could get you banned, much less linking to it.

If you try to convince them, likely you would get an unbelievable amount of negative online attention sent your way. Ironically the same thing they hate Kiwifarms for.

We built and sold a similar business (handwrite.io) and it was a pretty rough experience. We scaled to 40k MRR within several months (bootstrapped) but the margins were terrible and hardware is not fun, especially not being a hardware guy so I had to rely on someone else to make sure we had an efficient/quality product.
I was not offended. I concede to arguments raised by other repliers regarding my misuse (or at least very unorthodox use) of the term “prior”, but still find an objection based on your analogy ill-founded. Your analogy more or less supports my point (which I, to be fair, expressed badly).
They are willing to pay more for something they think is hand made, not for something they know pretends to be handmade. Fraud is not excusable.
I got what looked like one while ordering some cheap parts from China, then realised it was just a font. It was memorable but did not increase my chances of ordering from the seller due to other issues with the product. I suspect once everyone starts doing it, it will no longer be memorable nor have any other effect.

A transmission will do nothing for an EV in the snow. The existing traction management is more than sufficient for starting up but slowing down or changing directions in an EV in traction limited situations will likely always be worse than an equivalent gas car just because of excessive weight.

Traction control will outperform an above average driver on snow. I've driven lots of fast cars sideways and lived in the Northeast my whole life and I leave the TC system on because while I know how to control a slide on a racetrack, I don't want to do the same on a public road.
No. Trade embargos, sanctions, etc impact you.

Canadian HQ bank, their Mastercard and VISA work fine in Cuba.

US HQ bank or any international bank that follows US sanctions (if they want to deal in US Dollar, they do), their Mastercard and VISA do not work in Cuba.

This is just 1 example, but China have their own list. And Russia is an interesting case too.
I think it’s more of a matching problem. There are lots of students who get nothing out of CS classes. Ideally we would match the available slots with the students with the highest analytical aptitude.

They don't even know how to ask the right questions to get to what they want to know.

Yes, and with 10-15% reduction in food intake the fat mouse lost weight.

The fact that we do not all handle food intake in the same way doesn't mean it's not a lifestyle issue, not everyone has to eat the same. Some people are more efficient, good for them, now they can eat less. And I say that as a fatty myself (from overeating, no magic here).
I'm still surprised that no one has made a CNC specifically designed to be:

- carried on a truck
- used while in place on the truck or is easily removed from it and then set up
- which has an interface suited to a job site in terms of setting up a design and cutting

The Shapr3D seems to get some jobsite use, and there is at least one digital saw where one plugs in a dimension and the stop moves to the correct position for the cut --- the Yeti SmartBench seems like it might be a contender in this space, but still not seeing the CAD/CAM interface which would make it workable.

Really miss Saltire's SketchRight and FutureWave's SmartSketch for quick jobsite sketches.

You're saying you had 25,000 Dell servers[0] of a specific CPU combo that happened to have a fluke with RHEL power management?

I suppose that's possible - but it seems highly improbable

Even if you did, it's not a "customize the kickstart" problem, it's "write a post-deployment config script" issue that is far simpler to manage

After working in data center management and automation for over a decade, I can say your case is the first I ever heard of such a thing - and I would've told all my customers what I told you - have a single kickstart per major release of RHEL/CentOS, and do a post-deploy config if necessary :)

Production of Concrete releases quite much fossil carbon (8% of all emissions), and you can't fix that with renewable energies. Growing wood does not require extra energy aside from Sunlight and sequesters carbon from the air. Switching from concrete to wood would surely make a big difference.
But it won't happen when you don't go into the store at all.
Almost neither of which use a lot of dependencies.

It's still C and C++ world out there, and everything gets shrink wrapped. It's more likely that you would find a logic bug or a well known security issue in a single library than somehow infest the supply chain of these particular applications.

Every piece of off the shelf software is labelled and audited in that world.
The article nominally is titled "How Radical was Rachmaninoff?", but my read sounds a lot more like the author is overly obsessed with questions of being up-to-date and fashionable and is struggling with the idea of liking something that isn't (or wasn't) following the latest fashions and is having some cognitive dissonance as a result. As a bonus some fashionable cognitive dissonance is signaled at the end about whether it's OK to enjoy the work of someone who dies long before their nominal country of origin does something the author doesn't like. (I say "nominal" because Rachmaninoff died two "countries" ago.)

To which my reply would be in essence, stop worrying about "fashionability". Here in 2022, you can have any number of community's fashions, and any amount of work being done in any number of older styles. Don't look to some particular community to tell you whether it's OK to like something. (And I really wouldn't recommend looking only to what currently passes for academic "high" music.)

And as for the latter, give up liking anything if that's going to be your standard. Wait long enough and the descendants of every culture currently existing is going to do something you don't like. Might as well get ahead of the curve and just reject everything now because someday someone somewhere is going to do a bad thing.

Reject your inner high school. Like what you like. Dislike what you dislike. Stop waiting for other people to give you an approved list of what it's OK for you to like.
