“It’s all still hype at this point” implies this is vaporware when it’s a real thing that has solved one of the biggest roadblocks in microbiology. Your claim is analogous to lithium batteries, invented in 1976, taking 25+ years before completely DOMINATING the modern battery market. Science takes time to go from the research stage to mass market adoption. Level set your expectations.
I definitely don't do that tapping motion instinctively. Unless I'm actively doing something, I am naturally still. Ten years ago I found out I have Factor V Leiden, which can cause blood clots. Since then I've consciously tried to develop the habit of toe-tapping.
top web fiction, royal road, and so on - there are a lot of places budding authors can post their fiction. Since we are talking about unknown authors the burden is on you to find them. That means get off the top lists and search things that are way down in the rankings (most of the ones on the top of the list will publish on Amazon in the future as that is where the money is)

>Python is extremely dynamic and while I can't remember how offhand, I would be surprised if you couldn't simply override variable access the way you can with Javascript (eg, add a `get fieldname()` method). So you don't need "getters" the way you do in Java, which makes a distinction between field access and dynamically dispatched functions (and has performance benefits).

So this is the thing - that there is nothing in python at a language level that enables/disables this. it just doesnt give a private construct. same as in javascript. you can add getters/setters if u want. in fact ECMAScript introduced getters/setters - https://www.w3schools.com/Js/js_object_accessors.asp

But the thing is, huge huge codebases exist without private.

There's nothing that i can see in java that requires private. not to say, ur not wrong...but so it is with almost all patterns. even CQRS. There is a certain level of complexity when it makes sense. The question is - how early do u enforce this ?

I would be interested to see what would happen if they blinded professor interviews to alma mater. Because that might help determine how much of it is bias-- 100%?

The inverse correlation would be that people who end up being professors attended those colleges. Maybe they were more likely to get in or are more interested in academia so focused applying to those colleges.
Yes LOL

I agree it's not unreasonable, but you have to account for the fact that back then, most of the colleges that had it were top tier/high stress/highly selective colleges. Facebook started at Harvard, then went to Yale and Princeton, and then on to basically most of the US News top 50.

Probably you should decompile it, instead of starting from scratch.

This is made easier because apps are distributed in bytecode form, and compiled to machine code on installation. The bytecode is retained in the .apk file, IIUC.
The older I get - the more I crave tactile experiences. I was glad he mentioned the experience of listening to albums (well, it’s not the listening that’s so calming after all - he is right on that).

Everything has trade offs and as time goes on I value the benefits of technology less and less. I believe this has more to do with age than any sort of absolute value judgement.

I should stop at the grocery store on the way home.

> They will say the language is functional because of lambdas but anyone that has used a functional programming language will know that it feels nothing like it

That is such bullshit. There are plenty of very functional libraries written entirely in Java, it has a surprisingly adapt type system that makes plenty of things expressible (not monads themselves, but you can almost get there with purely generics). Vavr, jool, immutables.

And what exactly is complex? Java is on the leaner end of language complexity, just compare its number of keywords to.. any other mainstream language.
> And there is Iraq. They were invaded because they had WMDs. Oops sorry Iraq we were wrong

That was an invasion on incorrect pretexts. But you are resorting to whataboutism again. Can one not condemn both invasions?
Ukraine wasn’t part of the Iraq invasion…

> Ukraine was a defacto NATO member before the invasion.

No, NATO members are defended by the troops of other members, not just their money and equipment.
You aren’t a “de facto” member otherwise.

Countries that would be defended by NATO troops (and not only NATO weapons and money) could perhaps be said to be de facto members, I’d argue that applicants like Sweden have been already before applying.

But whether or not someone is a de facto member of NATO or not doesn’t change the fact that invasions of sovereign countries are, well, bad.
I don't think things are so black and white. The mods can pretty much do whatever they want at the end of the day. They also give a lot of leeway.
The concept of 'total evolutionary success' doesn't really make any sense.

The species is not extinct, but so is every other extant species. Maybe gene frequency is your success measure? There aren't many of this species around. Some of its genes are found in all birds, so those are pretty successful, but small beans compared to ant or algae genes. All these things probably have some respiration or protein synthesis genes in common. Maybe the success is with respect to their ecological niche? They fly really far! But everything lives in its own niche, and is the same amount of alive in it....

Evolved things are not more or less successful, they just are.
Back in '02-'04 I was a former games/graphics programmer working as a digital artist in feature film VFX. One area I specialized in was stunt double actor replacements. Working on Disney's "Ice Princess" I fixed a stunt double replacement shot and realized a method of making the entire process generic, at feature film quality.

By '06 I had an MBA with a Masters Thesis on the creation of a new Advertising format where the viewer, their family and friends are inserted into brand advertising for online advertising. By '08 I had global patents and an operating demonstration VFX pipeline specific for actor replacements at scale. However, it was the financial crisis of '08 and nobody in the general public had ever conceived of automated actor replacements. This was 5-7 years before the term deep fake became known. VCs simply disbelieved the technology was possible, even when demonstrated before their eyes.

Going the angel investor route, 3 different times I formed an investor pool only to have at some point them realize what the technology could do with pornography, and then the investors insist the company pursue porn. However, we had Academy Award winning people in the company, why would they do porn? We refused and that was the end of those investors. With an agency for full motion video actor replacement advertising not getting financing, the award winning VFX people left and the company pivoted to the games industry - making realistic 3D avatars of game players. That effort was fully built out by '10, but the global patents were expensive to maintain and the games industry producers and studios I met simply wanted the service for free. Struggled for a few years. We closed, sold the patents, and I went into facial recognition.

One minor I-bond hack: It's generally better to only buy them a few days before the end of the month, since it counts the same as if you bought them at the beginning of the month. For all timing purposes (interest, 12-month lock-up, and 5-year penalty), only the purchase year and month matter. The day is irrelevant.

In other words, time it correctly and your money is only locked up for 11 months + a few days. And since interest accrues on the 1st of the month, this also helps the interest rate math slightly.

Just don't go too close to end-of-month, since (iirc) it takes a few days for the transfer/purchase to go through online, and you don't want to get bumped to the next month.

That's lack of understanding of origins of the term "capitalism". Capitalism is typically characterized by (a) free market for labor and (b) private ownership of means of production. Both of these concepts have been considered unethical. The fact that liberals also consider "rent seeking" unethical doesn't change that.
There's a quote along the lines of:

"An amateur will build what you want and an expert will build what you need."
They are hoping to get the big break. That can be people who see them locally buying a copy (most people will buy a book when the author is there, but may not even look at the book otherwise, so you can count on a few sales if you appear in a bookstore), but ideally is moves onto they actually read the book and like it enough to tell all their friends. You can get a big bonus if a someone well known happens to be in the crowd and tells all their followers.
I've traveled extensively in Japan and very highly recommend it.

I especially recommend a long walk in rural or small-town Japan. Perhaps the best one-day option is the Yamanobe Road

https://www.japan.travel/en/destinations/kansai/nara/the-yam...

which is breathtaking. You pass ancient tombs, temples, and shrines -- you will have beautiful mountains to your east and even more beautiful small towns to your west. If you've seen My Neighbor Totoro, imagine that it was brought to life and you got to spend all day walking through it. It's fairly easy to get to from Nara, Osaka, or Kyoto.

If you have more time, the classic long-distance walk in Japan is the Henro-michi in Shikoku, aka the Shikoku pilgrimage.

https://shikoku-tourism.com/en/shikoku-henro/shikoku-henro

I did it on foot over 58 days, and it was absolutely the experience of a lifetime. Even if you don't have two months, just a few days on the trail will showcase rural Japan at its most beautiful, and the Japanese people at their friendliest and most welcoming.

Oh -- and I've driven in Japan, but you'll probably want to get around by train instead, the mass transit is the best in the world.

These claims sound pretty suspect and much more selective journals than iScience have published completely bogus research before. Would like to see this replicated many, many times before anyone starts selling a product whose purported benefits are demonstrated solely from a single research study from a highly conflicted author.

> It wouldn't be much of a metabolism trick at all if it doesn't work in ketosis or fasting. If you can burn fat, it should still work.

Body will always switch to burning mostly fat after a prolonged period of physical activity which studies suggest for moderate level of constant physical activity happens somewhere around 90 minute mark. There are no magic bullets.
There are a lot of callouts of "This is BS" in regards to this article.

Look at it from a different perspective. I would HIGHLY prefer this to a short press release blurb that allows pop-science clickbait aggregators (or even worse, the "science" sections of CBS/CNN and the like) to have first crack at it.

This was produced by the university themselves, and provides a concise yet accurate and detailed overview of the biochemistry involved, as well as a nice short embedded youtube video demonstrating the movement in question and going over the main points of the research.

Yes, improvements could be made, and yes, follow up studies will need to be performed. But this is head and shoulders above the "ONE SMALL TRICK, DIETICIANS HATE HIM" alternative we would have gotten otherwise.
Fair enough! The history between the KMT and the CCP in the 1940s and 1950s was really ugly and complicated, but it has lead to this situation where Beijing may try to conquer Taipei and hundreds of millions of people may suffer.

Ironically though, every time I start a new project with maven, I end up needing to google how to actually build a runnable thing. I end up needing to configure some kind of maven plugin to build a fat jar.
Sure to name a few:

1) Managing remote workers is a harder task than managing in office employees.

2) Time zone differences can slow work.

3) Cultural differences can cause problems with team cohesion.

4) Tax differences add to the cost of distant employees.
You might want to look into how easy it can be to become a real "major party" candidate, for a minor office, in a small municipality. Especially if "your" major party is the "no hope" party in a dyed-in-wool municipality, or you're just a primary candidate. Or the party understands that you'll mostly be spewing hate at people they hate.

And if the social networks are forced to follow this Florida law, and Mr. A. Troll De Vile was spewing hate at the politicians behind the law...might some social networks feel "deepest frustration" that they were, alas, legally barred from banning Mr. De Vile?
Universities are efficient, they create many potential professors with a small number of professors. So every class of potential professors will have many who can't get jobs where they studied, and will apply to less desirable places.

This was very disheartening to realize in college. It was too late for me to attempt to become any of the role models physically in front of me.
Smells like bullshit garnished with snake oil.
It's not physics, it's biology. There are processes that adjust and compensate to changes in the body and diet.

For example, if my BMR is 3600cal, and I don't eat for a day, why am I not 1lb lighter?

Or if I fast for 5 days, why am I 13lbs lighter and not 5lbs lighter?

Why is it easier for obese people to lose weight initially, but then harder to lose that last 10lbs? Which is also true for non-obese people.

Yea I agree - once they are highly tailoring the algo to show content they want then they are now actively participating in that content. It may be user generated originally but they are the ones that are choosing (through the algo) to show it to more and more people. I like this.

Also we should probably just ban certain types of algorithms completely.....
I created Swift Xcode Templates to save my time
Many years ago I started to develop iOS/MacOS apps with ObjC, then Swift.
Currently I'm working as iOS developer almost 9 years in outsource company.

With every new project I understood that I'm copying a lot of code from previous projects every time for a simple screens, then removing unnecessary code from those screens. With a years of experience I'm doing it without thinking at all, like a machine. This led me to the idea that I need to automate this process a little bit - start creating ready screens from templates.

I've created repository XCode Templates (https://github.com/mihail-konoplitskyi/4KSOFT-XCode-Template...) where I started creating most recent templates that will save time while creating new screens for iOS/MacOS apps with default structure. Firstly this repository was private, but I made it public since I understood that it can be helpful for another iOS/MacOS developers.

Asking you to help me with ideas which templates should I create, which architecture to add during template creation (MVC/MVP/MVVM/VIPER), or just leave your thoughts regarding this idea in GitHub issues.
Quite the opposite, we had tons of issues with npm/package.json and none whatsoever with maven, which we can use for basically everything and it's super stable from release to another.
It’s too early to say, unfortunately (which is why my initial post was not super useful, admittedly). All I can say for now is that, in all likelihood, a _lot_ of customization will be needed. Ask me again in two months :D
Just watched the portion you're referring to, and based on what he actually said, that cloth masks are "ineffective" with zero qualification, is disinformation.

I see the concerns. He did qualify a few sentences earlier about the effectiveness of cloth masks is that there is some protection but it's small. Fine, but he was imprecise with his language later on.

People want to (and did) latch on to the quotable portion that they are not effective (read: zero difference from no mask), which is demonstrably false.
The article & vid makes the specific point that this is NOT like walking or running (although skipping was not mentioned). It seems that they are trying to get the muscle to contract while NOT under load.

A key seems to be that the muscle normally is setup to resist a load and so not change length while activated, and also has an unusually high percentage of cells recruited in each activation vs other muscles (most strong contractions in human muscles recruit like 20% of cells, iirc), so this is to get the full contraction effect and not just a resistance effect. (But I'm just reading into it...)
Depends on how you define castrated. It's not like using C or C++ is really limiting and using a C++ math library (like my own rsw_math or more complete glm) lets you basically write it in GLSL. It's not like there's anything you can't do.

And the only math from Bellard's TinyGL that I use is his clipping code, maybe 80 lines of code give or take. Not to diminish Bellard at all, if anything I'm saying any problems with PortableGL are mine not his.

This was 1992 in New Zealand. You did 5 subjects (some did 6). At the end of the year you did a 3 hour exam and the percentages were scaled at the national level and added up. 300 was an 'A', 250 was a 'B' and 150 was a 'C'. Anything less and you didnt pass high school although everyone can still graduate and leave, some just did another year.
So, I'm walking around school. I dont know what class I should be in, I've completely missed subjects all year. I dont know when the exams are and I dont have text books.
In reality I passed all 5, total 351 and over %80 for calculus needed for Math 104.

I don’t understand the article. If population growth will strain scarce housing resources, why not just cut immigration? It seems like a knob you can turn to make things balance?

> I have seen no coverage that presents this as a problem — not even from Quebec, which is hopelessly consumed with linguistic and ethnic political diversions and where StatCan projections present a different kind of scenario: Smaller cities like Trois-Rivières and Saguenay are projected to see their visible-minority populations rise even as their total populations decline, and not just by a little.

I just got back from a cousin’s wedding in Toronto. Quite a bit of my family from Bangladesh has moved there. The number of south Asians in the city is remarkable. It was nice in some ways. (Obviously nice to see family, but also to be around other folks from a similar background.) But I wonder if they can in the long term avoid the fate that’s befallen Anglo and French Canadian.
