`std::this_thread::yield` already existed at the time, and “yield” was presumed to also be a common identifier in financial and agricultural contexts.

I’m nevertheless surprised that new noncontextual and previously-unreserved-identifier keywords were added at all. In earlier times, the approach would have been to use a reserved identifier like “_Yield” for the keyword, and to provide a standard opt-in header that would `#define yield _Yield`. Maybe they don’t want to add dependencies on the preprocessor anymore.
Exactly which part of this is new evidence? What you wrote is the basis of the original conspiracy theory, that NTSB rejected.

Also we have multiple recent events of a commercial jet being shot down by a contemporary AA system, in each of those the causality is pretty obvious.

>>I would argue that expecting a middle eastern to integrate into a northern European society is a farce.

I would argue that if the children of those immigrants are not fitting in then you have a problem. And that problem usually has to do with marginalization. In heavily immigrant areas do the people see themselves reflected in public insitutions? In teaching staff, bus drivers, police? America and Canada have historically been much better at this part than Europe.
I question the validity of the application. Apple seems to be promoting physical health while simultaneously leveraging mental illness to increase revenue.

I grant that this is an actual business space, accessorizing and promoting fitness, but these computerized accessories fundamentally distract from the individual's primary goal of getting in shape, leading to reliance on computerized devices that are unnecessary to meeting fitness goals. Isn't there such a thing as tuning one's ability to know one's own limitations naturally? Run. Run hard. Run fast. Run until you can't run any longer, and discover and accept physical limitations and push against them if your drive is unsatisfied.

Is this kind of data gathering really necessary to fitness? I'm nearly certain these applications actually fall under the category of play and entertainment. Maybe watch Rocky (1976) and/or Chariots of Fire (1981) for inspiration. Note the lack of any cybernetics. I'll take a mechanical stopwatch over an Apple Watch running fitness application any day of the week and twice on Sundays. Feel free to use an Apple Watch if it makes you happy, but to accept nothing less than perfection is really quite something else, so maybe there is a different kind of fitness that is immediately more pressing than physical fitness.

> There is no worldwide registry of which academic journals are legitimate.

I never thought about that before, and it genuinely surprises me.

Educational institutions like universities need to be accredited in order to be able to attract decent students, investment, etc.

It seems genuinely odd that there's no equivalent version of accreditation for journals and academic publishers. That ensures a certain level of qualification for board members, rigor in review process, peer review etc.

The academic world is so much about gatekeeping... that there's no gatekeeping around journals?

Agreed. And that promise has been fulfilled - although it costs more than nothing and you need to do your homework.

Japan had plenty of oil and energy to sustain peaceful operations. They "needed" more oil to wage their land war in China and naval conquest across the Pacific. They tried negotiating with the Dutch to get oil from the Dutch East Indies. When these negotiations failed, they hatched a plan to take that oil by force. The subsequent oil embargo against Japan was a response to that. The reason they picked a fight with America was because the American occupied Philippines was located directly between Japan and the Dutch East Indies. They knew that to take the Dutch East Indies they would need to take the Philippines as well, so they decided to destroy the US Navy first.

Internet commenters like to make a big deal out of the oil embargo, saying that America twisted Japan's arm and forced them into a war. This is not true. Japan's arm was twisted by their own imperial ambition which demanded that oil. If they never had that ambition they would not have needed that oil in the first place, nor would they have been slapped with an oil embargo.

Or maybe neighbors were armed because Russia has a long history of invading them.
The key thing to remember is that Russia reduced the gas supply to Europe already one year ago. Way before they invaded Ukraine, and therefor before any of the recent sanctions.

It is assumed that Russia sent a warning message to EU countries not to interfere. Fortunately, most EU countries recognized that Russia was no longer a reliable supplier. And imposed sanctions, delivered weapons anyhow.

Russia thought they could threaten their most important customers. The problem Russia now has, it that there is hardly any capacity to sell gas to other countries. Building pipelines will take many years and will have to happen without western technology (I'm sure Russia would like China to own their pipelines). Or Russia has to build more LNG terminals, but that is also not ideal. And ship from western countries probably won't go there.

Of course, the downside of relying to much on Russian gas is that EU countries now have to deal with an enormous energy shortage.
People here likely know how to do all that safely, but lots of less technically inclined people end up with their data encrypted and have to choose between starting over or paying a ransom. I have a QNAP device so I follow their subreddit and there's a steady stream of people who have lost everything to ransomware because their NAS was visible from the internet. I follow the standard advice from that subreddit - keep it behind a firewall with UPnP turned off and no ports forwarded to the NAS and never enable MyQNAPCloud (or whatever it's called).
This particular case is special because it uses 100% library functions. Typically you're composing your own functions, so you just... put breakpoints in your functions.

If you want logging, I've added an example of how to auto-log the composed functions to the gist.

>"There's also a mode that breaks the sound down into tiny snippets called 'grains' and weaves a cloud of these micro-echos..."

My intuitive mind says that there's something interesting here -- but my conscious mind doesn't know exactly what, presently... I think it would be highly interesting to study sound-shaping and sculpting algorithms like the ones used by this audio box...

Basically, there's an input sound which is output immediately, in time, but then that output also gets mixed with various pieces ("micro-echos" -- for lack of better terminology) of sound that preceeded it, at various points in time, in various algorithmic ways...

It makes me wonder if the same thing can be done with images/video -- particularly with respect to "4D" (basically 3D, but with an extra "dimension" if you can see it, "magic eye") holographic images...

Also, AFAIK, the Fourier Transform of a signal in Time -- is frequency(ies) -- and vice-versa.

It's almost like these algorithms are "partial" Fourier Transforms of sorts -- with some extra non-Fourier algorithmic stuff thrown in (again, for lack of a better description/terminology to my limited understanding at this point in time!)...

But I don't know...

All of the above is highly speculative -- and probably wrong on one or more levels!

Still, I think the topic could be highly interesting -- and thus worthy of future study...

Rust's learning story has some interesting dichotomies in it. For sure, no one disputes that learning Rust is harder than say Python or Java. But how does it compare to C or C++? My take (which I have no proof for, to be clear) is that learning Rust is much easier than either of those if you're truly starting from zero. Some scattered thoughts about this:

- Experienced C and C++ devs have to unlearn certain patterns when they start Rust. C++ experience can be a huge help, but if you insist on using the patterns you're used to in Rust, you often have a terrible time and feel like the compiler can't handle useful programs.

- Particularly with C, what we usually mean when we say "learn" has gotten kind of out of date. If someone with a few years of programming experience says they "know" Python, we might assume they can make an HTTP request and parse some JSON with a couple minutes of googling the relevant API docs. But of course in C, those tasks are much more challenging, and we often allow that someone has "learned" C even if they can't do those things without great difficulty. Part of C's reputation for being (comparatively) easy to learn is that we don't expect programmers to be able to do the same variety of tasks with it.

- A lot depends on what standard of correctness and security we want to apply. For example, writing multithreaded code in Rust has an extra steep learning curve, but the resulting code is data-race-free once it compiles. Writing big multithreaded programs without data races takes many years of experience in C and C++, and it might be genuinely impossible for sufficiently large projects. So depending on what we understand "learning to write multithreaded programs" to mean, we could say that Rust is much harder but also that Rust is much easier.
I don’t remember hearing about, say, Buddhists having to hide their religiosity.

There is opposition about certain specific religions, which come from the fact those religions were, and often still are, hostile towards other people. An example would be Catholic homophobia and misogyny.

tl;dr in the western world the “oppression against religion” is actually opposition against social pathologies promoted by certain religions
I almost agree, but there’s a difference between number of characters and width, and also graphics and tables are a different beast.

Personally, I think websites should fill up the available space, increasing font size if it makes sense, perhaps using resizing images. So, no - text should not be constrained to a maximum width. If width were a problem, billboards wouldn’t be a thing.
The right thing is to just do less at the right staffing levels. Trying to do the same amount causes everything to grind to a halt.

Easier said than done in the case of Kazakhstan, a country literally stuck between a very sharp rock (Russia) and a very hard place (China).

Also, re: doublespeak, in times of war ... it is a well known historical fact that both sides are deeply guilty of this specific sin (in times of war, the first victim is truth as the saying goes), so I'm not sure how what you're asking for is even possible.

More nuanced ideas... I set up my keyboard shortcuts to be as close to VSCode as I could so that Xcode and VSCode were very similar to write code in. I learnt the shortcuts for the UI - toggling panels and things, that was quite beneficial.

Another approach is to find the bits that are _great_ and that you don't get with other platforms. The debugging, particularly UI debugging with the visual hierarchy is great. When you have a good set of schemes set up for different purposes, potentially tied in to scripting in the build process, you can get quite a flexible system for running apps under different environments.

It was done at the scale of 30m and 300m populations, not a population 1.5b so it's hardly a fair comparison.

We have cleaner methods now, and my province doesn't even have any coal plants left. Our energy costs are through the roof because of that effort to save the planet. Meanwhile China continues to pollute more and more yoy, undoing any progress the rest of the world makes, at a mind boggling scale using outdated technology with no regard for the rest of the world.
Unfortunately, if the USA may repeatedly hit-and-run Soviet/Russian submarines it sounds like a worthy tactic instead of an accident. Blame should be on the Soviet/Russian side for failing to counter.

Structurally, the reason Germany has so many coal plants compared to gas is that coal was third cheapest on the marlets, right aftet wind and PV. That priced gas out of the market, simpky because gas was more expensive than coal and CO2 certificates to cheap to compensate.

flying in a Black Hawk helicopter near the area of the TWA 800 incident. Captain Baur
recalled seeing an object with a “rocket type motor . . . moving quick” toward TWA 800.
After the crash, Captain Baur flew to the area and conducted a search and rescue.
