Because this is my heritage? I grew up in a very wealthy, stable, safe society with social healthcare and social safety. On top of that: within that society I grew up as the kid of wealthy parents who did not have to learn a new language to survive and I do not have visual features that make it harder for me to survive.

I am basically playing life on toddler-difficulty. Giving this background programming open source software is not something that is forced upon me by evil, exploitative corporate overlords, but a past time I chose to do, partly because I believe in the values of open source software and partly because I like and use open source software and giving back is the right thing to do. If I liked I could immidiately leave open source and still have the happiest of lifes.

People which have been really exploited:

1. have a totally different starting point ("difficulty level")

2. have had no choice to do what they liked if they wanted to survive

3. had no rules that they could follow if they just wanted a happy life, the colonizers/exploiters make up the rules as they like. The exploited being on the wrong end of the stick has to buckle

4. have to hide their own culture, religion, believes and/or language if they wanted to survive

So I highlighted my own position in history to underline how ridiculous the comparison is. And this is just about the comparison used, I actually agree with the general idea that open source maintainers need to watch for their own well being, should get better (and more predictable) compensation etc. But comparing this to have your children taken away, to have families torn apart, to all the attrocities of slavery is utterly over the top and should not stand uncorrected.
Huh, I read this more like open source development is a counter proposal to wage labor, colonization and all the rest, and that making it sustainable is a necessary condition to make it an effective one.

Failing to find a solution to open source sustainability would mean going back to an employer/employee relationship (barring some fortunate individuals who'd be the exception to the rule) which in many cases is highly coercive, although indeed not at the same physical level as slavery.
Questions I tend to ask myself:

1. Am I getting paid appropriately, or maybe in the case of a startup, am I likely to see any big payback

2. Am I learning, in terms of tech or other skills I'm using

3. Do I enjoy the interacting the people I work with

I haven't been that bothered on the market/business I've worked on generally
This has mostly arrived in the consensus of sports training. General advice is to have protein surplus in the 24 hours after training (if you train every day, like an athlete, that means every day).

Plus if you're training but want to lose at the same time, you need a caloric surplus for a while to have your muscle regenerate and grow, but it's totally possible to gain muscle and lose weight at the same time. But basically each calory that you're in deficit will make your muscles grow more slowly, so it's definitely harder than being on an overall surplus.
It's the same word: 化け(る) bake(ru) means "change, transform, alter, corrupt". So a monster is ''o-bake'', "something which has been changed [into a monster]".

That said, no, most Japanese would not associate ''mojibake'' with "character monsters", it's just "altered characters".
But note that market development is only possible because the EU's reach is limited and it doesn't have any phone makers of its own. Technological progress requires market fragmentation, because progress doesn't turn up on everyone's doorstep simultaneously. So the EU is betting that it can engage in trivial populism like this whilst not losing out on any actual progress, because other parts of the world will 'bail it out' and continue researching such tech. Of course, it just solidifies the situation in which the EU has a pitiful tech sector because why bother introducing new ideas to the market when the EU might at any time randomly ban "fragmentation".
The skeptic in me says something else must have exploded in there. Can an LED panel actually do this?

If you develop a software for your needs, but the software in itself is just a tool and not your core business, you can share the cost of developing it with thousands of other individuals and companies.
Elsewhere in this subthread I pointed out that California is not printing money; it's spending surplus from 2021. California cannot print money bc we use US dollars and not CA dollars.

But I think a more interesting aspect of this is the cynical way language around the same idea has changed. The Franchise Tax Board is calling them a "tax refund", though your "refund" is based on your income being low, rather than your tax bill having been high. But the press has certainly been cooperative in calling them "inflation relief" recently, though the program was planned before inflation rose to the top of so many people's list of concerns. Politically, Newsome wants as much credit as possible for handing back a windfall of taxpayer money that came in mostly because of economic conditions he did not create and taxes that he did not introduce.

It is not the few people that oppose a single (bad) source of energy, it is the fine folks that have been making decisions about the power network for many years that have had you end up with no/very little power storage and a huge dependence on gas from a country that doesn't like you.

Of course it was binding and involuntary, as the EU is now proving by binding the ones that didn't volunteer. "Do it or else" doesn't make it voluntary because the institution doing the "or else" part is slow.
How is Serial mouse/keyboard trivial? You'd need to make a custom mouse that receives data from your second PC. You'd probably want it to be wireless else you will have 2 cables coming out of it. And no just having a second fake mouse is not fair. That's easily detectable by software and would definitely raise a lot of red flags.
> you need free time

If you don't have 20 minutes a day to sit in a sauna that sucks for you, but it is not exactly a usual state of being.
It's not so simple though since there's indirect effects that immediately follow.

1. Everyone consume less. Even rich people have to buy less of something else to pay for the higher-priced gas. So demand goes down elsewhere driving down other prices.

2. If margins or salaries increase then it increases the incentive for competition to enter the market and compete on price.

> Some of the electives I took in high school and college have had a great impact on the way view things

"Electives" is an important word there. By high school, I think you're ready to explore the things you already know you might be interested in. Much more so than what high schools typically have on offer.

I was bored out of my mind for my first two years of high school. I went to a HS at a community college for the second two, and it made a world of difference. We had English and History classes taught by HS teachers, but for all our other credits we had the whole college's course list to choose from.

Being able to choose makes learning so much more engaging.

the ways that you list are great brain exercises but there's no good reason or research that suggests they are 'many more times better than Calculus'.

and continuing to call it a 'useless subject' is also totally unjustified. if i just that art appreciation is a useless subject because 99% of people are not going to get a job writing movie reviews for a major publication or curating exhibits for museums is that sufficient justification to say 'art appreciation is useless. source: me'?
The energy has already been paid for since European countries have been overcharged for gas during most of 2022 in order to fill their storage to at least 80% before winter. Energy bills are usually paid by the quarter or by the year—not daily—so in some cases the worst part has yet to reach consumers.

Furthermore, the way the European electricity market works[1], other energy sources are also bid up when the price of gas increases iff this gas is needed to ensure supply in a given hour of the day. So we have been overcharged both directly (gas), mostly indirectly (electricity) and completely indirectly (goods inflation) throughout all of 2022. This is seriously hollowing out the budgets of some European families.

I don't agree that blanket handouts are the solution, but some kind of compensation is needed to those most exposed, otherwise they will sink into poverty.

Ridiculous solutionism. It's like the hiding-the-cigarettes-trick in The Seven Year Itch where the guy puts his cigarettes into a small box which he then locks, keeping the key in ever more ridiculously hard-to-get-at spots. Only to then retrieve them from wherever he hid the keys when addiction overcomes him anyway.

Physics Dept, UT Austin | Postdoctoral Fellow | Austin, TX | Full Time

I'm looking for a postdoctoral fellow to join my research group in UT Austin's physics department. Our curiosity-driven research group is broadly interested in computational approaches to understanding natural systems, and right now I am particularly interested in the following areas

+ Developing new statistical learning techniques grounded nonlinear dynamics and statistical physics
+ Stabilizing and controlling nonlinear signals based on sparse time series measurements
+ Analogue computation and learning in soft materials

The position is for three years, and the benefits and visa support at UT are identical for postdoc fellows as they are for faculty.

If you create money and give it to people, they spend it. That creates additional taxation. That spending is earned, which is taxed. The earnings are then spent, which is taxed, and so on. Like a stone skipping across a pond.

Do the fairly simple geometric series from that and you'll discover that all money creation generates additional taxation that extinguishes it - to the penny. All that changes with the tax rate is the number of hops before the money impulse disappears.

What you have to do to balance the system is remove some hops elsewhere. That's what threats about interest rate rises are supposed to do. Money then isn't created by loans, or the transaction hops from those loan creation events are fewer.

That reduction is what we call 'saving' and tends to show up in aggregate as a government deficit. The bigger the deficit, the more saving there was and the fewer transaction hops in the economy.

Saving is little more than voluntary taxation. The current approach is to go down the voluntary route rather than the compulsory one - largely because the population won't sanction any further taxes.

If the money used to purchase energy causes a large rise in the government deficit (or a significant reduction in the loan growth rate) then that will 'pay' for it without causing inflation.

While I also wish the Archive to be more precise - e.g. in the "Author" and in the "Year of publication" fields -,

I suggest that you check their RSS feeds to see how staggeringly high the rate of uploads is. That uploading is "frenetic" (in a good way of course) reveals where the focus is. For re-assessing and fixing the records a parallel team would probably be needed.

I would gladly help towards that: I never checked but maybe one can volunteer.
You know, if there is a world where money isn't printed but people refer to it as printing, then maybe at some point the government will do exactly that because people don't seem to be concerned about the rate at which money is being spent nor do they care if the government does it or not, they just want to complain.
If yo are that bad in parallel parking, you don't pass your drivers test in Germany.
Except that's more wishful thinking nonsense - we know it's not a rounding error, because it uses around half a percent of world electricity generation (which your source tries to obscure by looking at all energy, not just power), and we know that that's not all sourced from clean sources - see all the links above.

You have to be kidding about SG - it's the most toxic community on the planet, its governance is absent, and the whole ecosystem is rife with fraud and crime. That's hi-fucking-larious.

I cannot be the only one that sees politicians promise things and then spectacularly not deliver when they get elected. If the folks you vote for don't do what you want and you cannot vote for someone that does, there is no way for you to influence policy with a "democratic" process. For most people "just get elected" is not an option, because for that to happen you need to be rich, well connected and relatively well spoken.
I have this oddly guilty feeling when people try to be helpful by repeating the things I already know and ignore the questions I'm asking.
People learn math so that they can learn more math. If you don’t want to use math in your day to day life then don’t learn math, there are ways around it.

There are probably non-calculus ways to explain and do things such that in a “real job” you won’t need to use calculus. Eg MRI machines use Fourier transform, but a technician doesn’t need to know that.

However, if the goal is to learn more math, connect broad concepts, and extend math concepts, then basic fundamentals like calculus is essential.

So in terms of being a pure “technician”, you can get away from no calculus. If you want to know why things work and how to extend abstract concepts beyond their use case, then calculus is a fundamental tool.
I think there is a distinction between UML as per the 1000-page spec vs drawing some class diagrams with lines in-between that makes sense to you. Visual representations are very useful, as most of us are orders of magnitude better/faster with images than with text. I also like to scratch in the planning phase something that might resemble UML from far, but I think that is strictly different from it.
For the visible effect, you are right that there is little difference between 90% and 98%.

For its intended application, reflecting 98% instead of 90% means absorbing 5 times less heat when under Sun light.

That is a very large difference. A white paint with only 90% reflectance might cause negligible cooling, while one with 98% reflectance may cool a painted object to have a temperature less by more than 6 Celsius degrees in comparison with the air temperature.

The cooling depends on the ratio between how much solar light is absorbed and how much far infrared light is emitted.

So a cooling paint must be very white over the near infrared, visible and ultraviolet spectrum, but it must be black for the far infrared light which is emitted by the bodies at ambient temperature.
I don’t need anywhere near 100%. Mere 20% with low battery mode will last me the evening.
In C++, this will compile:

class T {
public:
T(int & m): member{m} {}
int & member;
}

T MakeT(int m) {
return T(m);
}

int main() {
const auto t = MakeT(10);
std::cout << t.member << std::endl; // UB <- member has actually been destroyed
}

Rust will correctly observe that the lifetime of m in `MakeT` is lower than the T object returned and will refuse to compile

Why would there need to be any extra dollars? If inflation is a matter of supply and demand of currency, as you say, then shouldn't we expect that a demand-side shift could lead to inflation without any change in the money supply?

This may be an EU-centric view, but I think the "problem" with math is that, basically, it's a requirement for "success" in life.

Selection at elite universities is mainly math-based. Sure, you're expected to have great grades in other subjects, but basically, if you suck at math, you're stuck with "suboptimal" paths.

Yes, I know many people have made it without a college degree, or by following some other path. But most of "the rich" have been through elite universities, which require good grades in math. So, it can be perceived as a kind of gatekeeping.

No one cares about chemistry.

So, since neither chemistry nor calculus are seen as "useful in day to day life", but math is used as a selection criterion, people talk about math.
