>It's baffling to me how people can lay such high pressure on their children but let themselves go in their own life.

The reason why most adults are not very motivated when it comes to learning is because school has killed their learn drive. The recurring dreams may very well be a sign of a traumatic experience.

You can read more here: https://supermemo.guru/wiki/Learn_drive

Instead of putting pressure, parents should take away this very crippling aspect of today's schools by telling their children that grades are not so important and that the often required cramming does more harm than good.

If a child's learn drive survives school it will surpass many of its peers futher down the road.

It'd be interesting to know why load time hasn't improved.

In the comments I mostly see "because of js and adtech", but is there a factual analysis somewhere ? How much is due to the recent massive deployment of https and related latency ? Is it a problem of latency or bandwidth ? What type of contents is causing most of the waiting time ? Images, css, js ? Just wondering
I live in a place with cassowaries and come across them in the wild every now and then. They're usually extremely dangerous, except for this one particular bird that lives at a rainforested beach called Etty bay. I have been chased by this bird, around a table while he tried to get my bag full of fruit - but generally speaking he/she is usually pretty chill and content to just stroll up and down the beach amongst the families, seeing what's up. Obviously this is a total tragedy .. she'll certainly end up getting killed because of the familiarity, but it's also entirely fascinating seeing this 1.5m tall wild bird just stroll out of the rainforest and start interacting with everyone.
Has anyone done this sort of thing for data, not just for services?

I can't seem to find a data catalog that lets my tie information across databases + APIs + Kafka topics. Each catalog of schemas is separate with no way to link them really.

Does starting the proxy automatically add it to some proxy list that gets (partially) distributed to users or does running a proxy like this only help if I distribute the proxy to people?

Would some network analysis then not clearly indicate the social graph of people by virtue of connecting the dots of who connects to which proxy domain?
Also, there is a draft being working on for credentials transfer:

This document describes a mechanism to transfer digital credentials
securely between two devices. Secure credentials may represent a
digital key to a hotel room, a digital key to a door lock in a house
or a digital key to a car. Devices that share credentials may belong
to the same or two different platforms (e.g. iOS and Android).
Secure transfer may include one or more write and read operations.
Credential transfer needs to be performed securely due to the
sensitive nature of the information.

The Righteous Mind by Jonathon Haidt opens with the moral, psychological explanation of this phenomenon: the brain judges first, and explains later. Often times the reasons do not make much sense.

It is some sub-rational decision making process which is more fundamental with which divine introspection (though Haidt remains drier than this as far as I’ve read) may illuminate.

Evolutionarily, the need to make simple decisions about survival quickly and consistently, suffering the minor hardships of obtuse thinking, makes perfect sense - whether you knew it or not.
I think his method is straight forward, simple and well justified. He calculates "move match" agreement with engine's first line, move-match percentage, average error per move judged by computer, (uneven positions count less) and goes from there to calculate Raw Outlier Index.

This is why Netflix started their own (fast.com), making it more difficult for ISPs to throttle NF video content (or just prioritise speedtest traffic) and blame NF for poor performance (or poor quality because it was using more highly compressed streams to deal with low throughput) because “if you run any speedtest you'll see your connection through us is fine, it must be NF being busy”.
As long as the earth turns, we'll need power at night too (and on cloudy days), and current energy storage devices are not good enough to cover all of that usage.

"Even if the relevant region of the Andes is completely desertified (which I would prefer not happen)"

My dad comes from that region so I really appreciate that you'd rather the area not become a desert just so some SV bro can virtue signal with a Tesla.

Personally, Id rather Californians used their own water to extract their own Li to power their own Teslas.

As to the obviousness of the net good, actually it isn't. Thats why studies are done. Even if it's a net environmental benefit (comparing different types of pollution is a massive value judgement, btw) it doesn't follow its ethically a benefit for the reason outlines above - why should by father's family become environmental refugees?
Trouble is the cost of solar panels doesn't factor in the dust to dust costs. It's essentially still relying upon the subsidy from cheap Chinese manufacturing. That isn't a sustainable method of creating, or renewing them - particularly when battery storage starts to compete with cars for the raw materials used to produce the batteries. There isn't enough raw materials available on a global scale to do both, and that tightness will likely reverse the cost decline and probably rapidly.

The cheap installed renewable plant that is going in today needs to start self replicating itself on a dust-to-dust basis. Otherwise it is going to end up being a one off benefit that we squandered - like easily accessible gas fields.

Which is why nuclear needs to be there as the strategic option. Markets aren't always the best way to make long term decisions.

I think we're dealing with the classic "Professional vs. Regular/Consumer opinion" here.

The person you responded to seems to work with media or at least knows some things about video formats and editing. To them, true, raw colors and representations are what they want. You on the other hand may like the slightly unrealistic, but appealing look of the Pixel phones, which tend to look oversaturated to professionals, but better to consumers.

Similar to how audiophiles like headphones which sound flat and boring to regular people, yet audiophiles think regular peoples headphones have way too much bass and treble.

Different products and needs for different use-cases, I guess.

Sadly, that's not how American sanctions, or law in general work. They claim extraterritorial jurisdiction over the whole world, and whoever and wherever you are, you might get in trouble with them for violating their sanctions or laws. FFS they give themselves the right to invade any country that dares put their war criminals on trial.

E.g. BNP Paribas, a French bank, were fined for doing business in Iran. A Ukrainian was extradited from Poland to the US for hosting a pirate website.
I have no idea how common the nightmare is. I have never had them. But I did mix up the dates for my exam.

My friend called me as I was about to go to the gym and asked where I was, with a very concerned voice. It turned out that I was supposed to be at an exam. I rushed home, changed clothes and went like crazy to school. Luckily they let me in as the last one of the day - of course I had not prepared in the slightest - but did absolutely fine :)
Assuming you're using a phone, is there a "keyboard app" that could be intercepting things before WhatsApp? other endpoint issues with security? Not that I'd be surprised to see a big company flatly lying about their product, but because they're so big I suspect you need to work hard to eliminate other possibilities before taking them to court.
School was not very stressful for me. I never had especially high grades, but didn't do that bad either (3.4ish GPA in undergrad). There were specific classes that were annoying either because of the content or teacher. I'm sure there was some temporary stress over a few of those finals, but not excessive.

Work is much more stressful and high stakes. There's no real structure, no contract or performance guide (like a syllabus), and I need this job to support my family. Getting another job would be very difficult.
Don’t mess with a Cassowary. Fairly rare to see them in the wild outside a few places, but they give no grace. The ones in captivity will 100% have a go at you if you get too close to the fence.
If I go 4-6 cups per day I am generally weeing all day long.
you have to say it is a superb result. If you were natsec and you wanted to influence the thoughts and behaviours of people in foreign countries, what better way to do so than to produce a tool which those people would use as default to discover 'the truth'. I hope the CIA folks who decided to invest in early Google got just rewards, not just in terms of return to investment, but also national recognition in service to the country

Fair point. Though the war ended and I assume their dietary habits changed. So the children did not have this diet throughout their entire childhood.

It's known that bodies of children can "compensate" in later periods for the lack in previous periods. This is most noticable in gymnasts who relatively more often experience a delay in puberty due to their extreme training regiment, but if they stop the body "catches up".
> you're going to play in the grey space between ethical and not, do so responsibility and don't share the exploits with others

Aka "don't get caught".

One of the times I got in bother at the first university I attended was because I kept logging into their production servers as the root user every morning.

Their admins had left a few glaring holes open that I'd patched (and evicted some fellow travellers), but I kept their SSH keys to explore a bit.

One morning one of them happened to peruse the SSH logs, and spotted a pattern where someone on the student network was logging in every morning.

Didn't take them long to work out something was deeply fucked, and they cut my network access before pulling up the contact info they had on file for me and summoning me to their office for a bollocking.

Luckily for me they figured it would be better for their job security if they kept it purely informal as opposed to notifying the university proper and having me face a disciplinary committee.

They never rotated those ssh keys, and I learned the "don't get caught" lesson as opposed to the "don't do this" lesson.
Not to be confused with Cassowary constraint solving [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cassowary_(software)] for constraint-based autolayouts.

I'm not sure what specific grid you are talking about, but yeah, we should decarbonise our grids too. That's happening.

Almost certainly already better in most of the world, and anyway if you're building ship charging stations you can buy new renewable PPAs at the same time to supply power.
In the daytime grid solar is already the cheapest option in terms of cost per kWh, but demand is on a second by second basis not simply a question of producing enough total power each month. That means there isn’t a single tipping point, just increased adoption as costs drop. Cheaper grid storage increase the amount of PV grid operators will want etc.

As to going fully off grid, [Rooftop solar + inverters etc + batteries + installation] vs [paying for the same things + an electric grid] seems to favor home installation before you consider economies of scale. When panels where expensive rooftop solar was more competitive because the primary costs where the panels themselves, but as they drop other costs become more relevant and solar farms are pulling ahead. Though specific tax breaks for rooftop solar muddles the issue.
Curious. As mentioned I did three tests, two which went pretty well and this one that went bad. I'm French and enunciated the three tests in the exact same way. It's possible there was a technical glitch in this one (that I erroneously attributed to the language of the 17th century)... Will have to try again.
More frequent is usually quite the problem because while the vehicles are just a matter of cost, the staff isn't.

Driving any large vehicle is a stressful job and there's always a shortage of people willing to do it.

Of course this implies that the larger the vehicle the better, so rail comes to mind, but that it turn requires infrastructure.

Overall it's a hard problem to solve.

Then how did the Europeans manage to do it? They had to. There's literally no other option for a region that doesn't have abundant oil resources.

To this end, I really enjoyed "Don't Escape: 4 Days to Survive"[1] which was included in the recent Itch bundle for Ukraine.

It mixes adventure game with escape room, and whilst there is still a puzzle element to the game, it is much more pragmatic in its combinations. You find a nail, a boarded up building or something that needs building and it's a hammer that will solve all of them. You know that you will die of heat at the end of the day, so you need to find things that will cool your house down.

I think this means that the whimsy and jovial aspect of 90s adventure games is lost, but it feels much more satisfying to solve a puzzle when the solution makes sense. If we wanted an adventure games renaissance, I would look to this game as a case study in addition to the points outlined in Ron's article.

Faraday cage only works against specific frequency, to overcome it all you need to do is use different frequency.
Wonder how a manually written vectorized 8 bit version would compare (with some padding inserted at the end of the array to avoid extra checks). Work size/bandwidth in a small test like this shouldn't matter, prefetching/write combining should be essentially perfect and bandwidth won't show up until it's a bottleneck/we test throughput.

Besides the lacking optimization due to aliasing, could there also be some microcode iffyness be going on? Can an x86/64 cpu just increment an 1 byte value positioned at a random memory location?
Future historians (if there will be any) will analyze this period of time (last 10-15 years) having the luxury of 'abstand' for the diplomatic blunders, ideological blindness supported by new found capability of waging propaganda on its own citizens (by both sides) lead to this situation, which in in turn, without any uncertainty what so ever leads to a major (WW) clash within few months (nuclear war is not only not off the table, it is, by remarks from RUS and USA almost an inevitability. (this are just words to us, but the inner rapture of sadness that this is indeed coming cannot be communicated).

I always wondered as a kid reading or learning about WWs how come nobody wanted to stop it. Why the elites are so eager for blood of other country's "peasants" (for those are the people who die), and even more so I wondered why are people willing to go and die for the elites. Clearly, as and adults I still do not have (the key) the answers. (Sure, states are not sentient entities, the expression I use is for convenience only).
I share your experience. I always felt out of place and struggled through school. Tired, extremely bored, constantly felt inadequate. There were a few teachers that basically carried me through because they saw something in me. But other than that it often felt like torture.
For anyone who bounced off org-mode due to it's limitations (e.g. mobile apps for it suck) I'd recommend Logseq, it's an open-source outliner with a plugin ecosystem and even supports org-mode.

We did the same experiment with a female friend a while ago.

Ways back we got a prnalty when we did not do our homework which was called "Zapfen" in German language.

It's basically like this: You get a starting number, have to multiply it with 2, then it's result with 3, then this result with 4, until you multiplied it with 9. After that you had to divide it by 2, then by 3, ... and finally by 9 and end up with the same number you started with. Sometimes even higher than 9.

Since our teachers understood that there are calculators and even kids like me who knew how to write loops in Basic code, they chose the numbers big enough to result in scientific format or overflows, so that at a certain step the precise calculation could not be done any more with a calculator or computer program.

So I wrote a Basic program which did multiplications and divisions the way you would do it manually with strings. From this point on I was only limited by the amount of memory, which wasn't an issue since my Amiga 500 had 1 MB of Ram.
It appears that the limits for the CHSPE are still being at least 16 years old, or having completed part of tenth grade, which have been the requirements for as long as I can remember. However, it does appear the interpretation of that has changed. When I took it, if you were home schooled, even if you were home schooled for the express purpose of taking the exam, you could have your parents attest that you were working at a tenth grade level; I took it when I was thirteen by doing this, and know a number of others, some considerably younger, who did as well. It appears that the current requirements actually do require some form of official school district approval, which may have been in response to that method of taking the test early. If that's the case, it's unfortunate; I certainly don't regret having taking the route I took. If anything, I somewhat regret listening to the advice of those around me who kept advising me against it, and giving the normal school system, which made me miserable, more chances than I needed to.

As for the commenter's point on people caring or not caring about the GED/CHSPE; apart from needing it for my initial community college admission immediately after getting it, it never came up for me at all, despite teachers insisting for years that getting a diploma that way would ruin us. I don't even remember any the details of it, or where the documentation is: there's little point in having anything pre-university on a CV.
Why? OK. The reason why nuclear has not been adopted is that society has taken against it. Politicians respond to what people want, and create rules and roadblocks.

There are alternatives that can fill the same roles you envisage for nuclear. We'll get some of those instead.

Don't talk to us nerds, go knocking on doors and persuade soccer moms and instagram influencers that nuclear is safest, cheapest, best for their kiddies. That's who you need to convince.
I'm still confused why school relies on single point of failure tests
