I feel like you are writing off the whole article with a sentiment along the lines of “this bitch was already psycho”.

I can tell you that I am certainly not bipolar and yet I had similar problems on related drugs, resulting in bankruptcy and violence. I will never, ever again take drugs from a psychiatrist. For all the fake panic about “reefer madness” supposed medical “professionals” can prescribe mind altering drugs that cause violence and bankruptcy.

And then people like you write it off as “oh she was bipolar” with the implication that such reactions can’t happen to “normal” people.

Disappointed but not surprised that all the men here upvoted you, like a circle of bearded 19th century doctors in a mental asylum for “hysterical women”. Lamenting that you can’t get this poor hysterical woman into your institution so you can give her the electrocution “therapy” she desperately needs. Have to make do with these new drugs. Any side effects are clearly due to her frail and mentally weak gender, and not the utterly inappropriate mind altering drugs.

A report about Windows written by Microsoft, I think.
My sporadic 1 minute 50 seconds startup time went to less than a second when I forbade Windows Defender to ever scan Emacs' installation folder for viruses.
Mostly likely it is just you statistically.

Of course, the long tail of Windows total installs is usually a non-trivial number of individuals.

My experience is that my problems are tied to specific older hardware with uncommon features...older Dell Precision Workstations in my case.

Are you running older hardware with features that were a bit uncommon at the time?

Good luck.

No need to take it personally. I don't think they were judging you for feeding your pup kibble at all. Just that it's not a fair representation of a "wild animal on a natural diet"
You need to link up your approved EB1A I-140 petition with your pending I-485 application by requesting that this approved petition be "interfiled" with your pending I-485 application. At the same time, I would recommend that you ask your local U.S. representative to make an inquiry with USCIS (something that is done all the time) and that you also submit a "service request" through the USCIS website regarding your pending I-485 application.

Evidence of a recursion limit in the simulation?
In what sense is that not true?

It seems true at least if we accept that a pure state is a mixture of itself with nothing else.

Any quantum state CAN be represented by a density matrix. That's what density matrices are for. That quantum state may be pure or may be a mixture. (A mixture density matrix could also be a partial trace representing a subsystem of a larger system instead of a true mixture of pure states.)
Not seeing Jai or Odin is a bit sad, but at the same time relatively accurate because their communities are much smaller and for the most part Zig is eating their lunch.
> Indeed, basically of the TARP money was repaid in full.

Sorta. If you invested money at the bottom of the market in late 08/early 2009 and only broke even several years later, you must have set half the money on fire (edit: or embezzled it).
Most JavaScript codebases that I have read over use the division based method, it’s rare to find one that uses a random floating point multiplied by the limit (outside of Math.random(), I’m talking about crypto.getRandomBytes() implementations).

I think this is likely due to the nature of JavaScript’s whacky integer and float implementations.
yup - some documentation/legal work remains but they should be able own the company abroad as a subsidiary soon.

Here's why I post like that. People who don't use TikTok see comments like the parent and think that's all TikTok is. So then they assume that everyone who uses TikTok must be into that stuff, because that's what they're there to watch. Non-titktok users seemingly do not understand how wildly variable the experience is person to person. It's not about blaming the poster, but about bringing perspective that we're not all just there happily watching live streams like what the poster described.
why didn't any of these experiences end up on Chatroulette years ago? Is it just the size of the user base? Or because it's all mobile now?

Looking at the demo images, I must admit that I have some traumatic memories associated with that shade of blue on a console :) Mostly from fiddling with BIOS settings etc.

It would be interesting to see the evolution of those numbers and ranking over time, maybe on a month or quarter granularity.

While I encourage supporting the Obsidian team by paying, there are ways that you can get the same features without paying.

Sync - On iOS, you can use iCloud to sync your files between your Mac and iPhone. I imagine that there are more configuration options for this on Android.

Publish - lots of different ways to deploy your notes to a site. There's one repo that helps you publish with Mkdocs [1], and I'm sure there are other tools the community has created to solve this problem.

It may not be as simple to set up as Notion, but that's the price you pay for wanting a solution to be cheap, private, and let you own your own data.

There's nothing that needs solved. It's ideal to shrink the global population while boosting per capita quality of life. The focus should be on improving per capita, not on expanding the overall economic size or population numbers.

Providing housing to young families will not make a meaningful dent to declining demographics in the affluent world. People do not want to have so many children (3-5 or more) and it's not due to lack of housing. That's a cultural change and no amount of housing is going to reverse it. And even in the financial scenario, the housing aspect is only one chunk of the huge cost of raising several children.
If it bleeds, it leads. You don't get clicks/viewers/readers with "Things are getting better in some complex-but-dull way" sorts of stories.
> However the reality is that what you see on TikTok really is a direct reflection on you. It's not an accusation, it's just an acknowledgement of the truth.

It's a direct reflection on what tiktok's algorithms think they know about you so far, modulo what they think they know about the contents of the videos they are showing. They have a good recommendation engine, sure, but it works on average over large populations through the limited funnel of video interactions, and their video understanding and inventory is similarly limited. This is even before considering that they clearly add some kind of extra exploratory weight to new content they don't have a lot of data about from you.

Their machine learning is basically fancy statistics on watch data, not a peering-into-your-soul Oracle, it's very possible it gets some people's preferences very wrong and is still profitable for larger population segments.

How so? This Gamergate?

I can't even convince my co-workers to use Typescript. :-/

I think it varies by industry though.
Currently, egrep and fgrep are shell scripts (the too-simple version of this idea would be

#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/bin/grep -E "$@"

but that would mess up help messages and probably also needs disaster handling in case exec fails). Another traditional way, however, is to symlink everything to a single binary, which uses argv[0] or getprogname() to see which name the user called it under and acts accordingly. In the extreme case, you get the "multi-call binaries" Busybox or Toybox, which contain an entire set of Unix utilities in a single (not-too-slim) executable image. GNU grep also used that technique at some point in its history, but it was discarded for a reason I don't recall.
Stumbling upon the coding train a few years ago is the reason I'm an engineer today. Shiffman showed me how problem solving can be fun! I owe him a lot.
I'm not involved in the hiring aspect so I don't really know but I think the answer to your question is yes. Another strategy is to work for a company abroad (that also has operations in the U.S.) and then after one year of employment, seek a transfer to the U.S. through the L-1 process. With large multinational companies, this L-1 transfer process is easy.
This is precisely why I ended up on Joplin several years ago... Being able to sync for free (I just pay for S3 costs) means I got cross-device/platform support and know I will never lose my notes.

I'm trying to understand the use case where it would be worth it to switch to Obsidian and pay monthly for the sync and no longer host the data myself, which doesn't sound like an improvement to me.

The way Obsidian organizes notes sounds intriguing though, I can see how some might find that worth the additional cost (or loss of sync ability).
I was prescribed Pramipexole for restless leg syndrome some years ago, and the information leaflet was pretty specific about the impulsive behavior side effects.

The Spanish leaflet lists as "Frequent" (up to 1 out of 10 patients) things like: "Needs to behave in an unusual way", "Hallucinations", "Confusion", "abnormal dreams", "Insomnia"...

I in fact had lots of weird dreams and nightmares.

It also lists as "Less frequent" (up to 1 out of 100) things like: "Paranoia", "Delusion", "Amnesia", "Hyperkinesis", "Fainting", "Concerns", "Inability to resist the impulse, instinct or temptation to take an action that may be harmful to yourself or others, which may include: [buy/gamble/sex/eat]"...

I thankfully had none of that, but 1% looks like a too high probability for me for that kind of effects.
There is a sort of “post-corporate Memphis” design style and marketing language that I’ve been paying more attention to for some time now. It discomforts me.
For small databases with lax uptime requirements I find it pretty easy to upgrade. Just stop the database, run pg_upgrade_cluster (a Debian tool) and create a new replica.

For large databases where you care about uptime upgrading is usually a huge project anyway, since you have to make sure that nothing breaks due to the new version (check query plans, check if the new version changed anything, etc). You also probably want to use logical replication for the upgrade. There are things that PostgreSQL can improve of course.

As an aside I recently was involved in an upgrade from 9.6 where we used logical replication and pg_dump (yes, we really used pg_dump on a 20+ TB database). The reason for using pg_dump was because we have some tables which bloated very fast meaning we could not hold a snapshot open on the master long enough to do the initial data copy so the initial copy was done with pg_dump from a paused replica. And to not lose any data during pg_dump/pg_restore we kept a logical replication slot alive (but unused until pg_restore was complete). That was an interesting project, especially since Googling did not turn up anyone who had done the same.
> At a guess, it isn't actually the symlinks, it's the argument parsing they're trying to simplify.

There’s no parsing. GNU’s egrep and fgrep are trivial shell scripts:

#!/bin/sh
exec grep -E "$@"

That could also be because a story about something tickles others to post other stories and then it snowballs. (Noting that I noticed the same about Clojure years before that and made a comment elsewhere that it was what HN cared about because it was a dialect of LISP which PG cared about (for lack of a better way to put it).
It says to me that you spent a lot of time curating your TikTok experience, and the other person didn’t. So you are right, THAT says a lot about who you are. See how that works. Shitty, huh.
Pretty much.

Gödel still technically applies in the sense that if I claim to have a reasoning system which is usually sound and complete, you can still use "this statement has no heuristic explanation" to force an instance of my system reaching unsound conclusions, But having just this one example doesn't disprove that the system is usually sound. It just proves that the system is sometimes not sound (which is already assumed in the meaning of heuristic).
Hi Peter,

I am a Canadian citizen. My B.Sc. and M.Sc. are in mechanical engineering, but I have been working in the software industry as Software Developer and Data Scientist. Would I be eligible to get a TN to work in the software industry in the US? If yes, could you please refer me to resources to learn more about eligibility restrictions, e.g. details about what if any limitations I need to keep in mind when I apply to jobs in the US (e.g. if Data Scientist jobs are OK, but Software Architect jobs are not OK, etc.)?

Thank you!
Might I point out that this may be too far in the ‘opposite direction’?

If you were to write a program that relies on those aspects of the abstract C machine and don't provide those aspects, then you might have an argument, in that in that case the observable behaviour would be different, but if you choose not to make use of that functionality, its presence is entirely irrelevant.

This is also massively shifting goal posts. You first wrote "At which point it is no longer C". By your argument here, e.g. the Linux kernel is not written predominantly in C. But nobody uses the term that way. If you were to speak specifically about ISO C, maybe, but the person I replied to initially did not limit it to ISO C.

As such this is also entirely irrelevant to the original argument.
I've heard people say coding is the "modern day construction job". Anyone can do it.

> 1. They try to find higher paying jobs to earn more money to raise their living standards. Which is exactly what people who want higher living standards would do right now. I'm not sure I understand your question.

Where will these higher paying jobs come from? Are they coming from automation or by virtue of UBI being implemented? If it's the former, if I'm 2x more productive, why should I have to give up 0.8x of that productivity to non-workers? Moreover, why should I stay in a jurisdiction that taxes me the productivity gains, as opposed to another jurisdiction that lets me keep all the gains?

>2. The "fairness" that's relevant here is a function of (say) "net income/expended effort", not "tax rate". People get mad that others who put similar effort earn a lot more net income than them, not a lot more gross income.

Is there any research to suggest that people only care about net income/effort rather than gross? It seems pretty obvious in this thread that at least some people are care about the gross income/effort, as evidenced by the disdain of people on UBI as lazy weed smokers.
> Well MS SQL Merge statement is not very good

That is rather an understatement. IIRC unless you are careful with transaction isolation levels and other options, a single MERGE statement can still deadlock against itself.

See https://michaeljswart.com/2021/08/what-to-avoid-if-you-want-... and the older page it links to, mongst many references to the problems you can encounter.

Though things are a fair amount better than they used to be, back in 2008 when MERGE was first introduced, with most of the persistent buggy behaviours pertaining to specific features that not everyone uses, I still completely avoid it.
BTW I ONLY use egrep and fgrep !!!

- egrep means [0-9]+ works like in Perl/Python/JS/PCRE/every language, not [0-9]\+ like GNU grep.

- egrep syntax is consistent with bash [[ $x =~ $pat ]], awk, and sed –regexp-extended (GNU extension)

- These are POSIX extended regular expressions. Awk uses them too.

- `fgrep` is useful when I want to search for source code containing operators, without worrying about escaping

This style makes regular expressions and grep a lot easier to remember! I want to remember 2 regex syntaxes (shell and every language), not 3 (grep, awk, every language) !

This change should be reverted; there is no point to needless breakage

Again you wouldn’t remove grep –long-flags because it’s not POSIX
I don't remember why I stopped using the shorter `egrep` and only use `grep -E`, but I suspect this was the reason. I used to work on a variety of BSD and Linux servers.

I'm fine with this clean-up and simplification. Eventually, there will be more future users of `grep` than past users.

Actually, no keyboard exhibits "ghost keys" — phantom key presses.
The difference between methods of "anti-ghost"ing is whether ghost keys are avoided completely (e.g. using diodes), avoided for some key combinations (e.g. "gaming optimised matrix") or just suppressed (detected and blocked).

99.9% of mechanical keyboards made in the last decade avoid ghost keys by using diodes, yes, primarily because they have been intended for gaming.

However, diodes are not at all universal in mechanical office keyboards, even if they use discrete switches and a PCB. If you'd look at vintage mechanical keyboards, you'll find that while many have them, many don't. Cherry even still makes some older models with Cherry MX switches and 2-key rollover.

The platform doesn't matter.

In fact, it might be counter-productive.

I mean right here you are doing administration instead of doing the thing you said you want to do...making content.

The best blog platform is the one you are using.

The thing that needs optimizing is the work of making and posting content.

Embrace the work, because the least amount of blog work is to not blog at all.

That's also the lowest risk.

Good luck.
