Yes, you did. And then followed up with the same line of reasoning again in the next sentence:

But my painting is only meant to be appreciated visually because that is how I choose to express it. The idea that I should be forced to represent my art in a way I never intended it to be, is absurd.

Who said clearing? I said that if any millionaire or billionaire claims that they are not taxed enough, nobody is stopping them from paying what they think they should pay.

The IRS won't complain, and so won't the Treasury if they decide to donate money to pay a small % of the National Debt

Identifying hotspots on the Ethereum P2P network
I’m not sure this is the issue precisely. However there’s been rulings that ban using Google analytics simply because doing so means the user sends a request to Google, and the user IP address is considered personal data (look up Schrems II). The same applies to Google fonts or anything hosted by Google.

The interesting thing specifically about the fonts case is that, unlike other privacy regulation that defines only fines, and not compensation/damages (fines are levied by the data protection authorities). However in the font case there was a precedent that awarded damages to the claimant in the tune of 500€. Now we see a wave of ambulance chasing lawyers exploiting this ruling to shake up companies. Sad, but potentially useful for privacy. IANAL and all that jazz.

That page says:

> the Signal Android codebase includes some native shared libraries that we employ for voice calls (WebRTC, etc). At the time this native code was added, there was no Gradle NDK support yet, so the shared libraries aren’t compiled with the project build.

Also, assuming you trust the client, how to tell if the Signal server is running the published code, especially given Signal's track record of (not) publishing its source code?

Why are small alleyways not interesting in a shooter? Many area to hide. Though perhaps it would stimulate camping, but I wouldn't call them 'not interesting' :)

I didn't find The Division too interesting, just couldn't get into it. I also don't really understand why they keep going on with that Tom Clancy label. The guy's been dead for almost a decade. If they feel the need to badge his name all over it, it feels like it's just B-content and they need to stick such labels on it to sell it.

I think his early books were pretty good but the later series were just drivel IMO. I don't think he even wrote them himself.

"A secured blockchain" is hilarious in concept to me. Looking at cryptographic constructions in general, 'secure' tends to mean "some multiple of the current total computing power of the world, running for hundreds of thousands to billions of years, might be able break the system".

With blockchains we have "a subset of the current compute power on the planet could start subverting it immediately".
Why is New York a good location for this? Isn’t it very expensive there compared to the rest of the USA?

I don’t see anything you listed as requiring an iPad Pro. Most of what you mentioned revolved around note taking, which is a low cpu/gpu/memory task. You could easily do all those things on a iPad Air without stressing the device at all.

USA might be so busy with the war in Europe, the middle east, India vs Pakistan, China invading Taiwan, etc that is doesn't have a lot of resources to help defend South Korea.

That's why it could be considered an opportunity for North Korea.
A similar thing happens at my employer. Westerners work more regular daytime hours, there’s no obvious pressure for asians to work nights, but almost all of them are.
Fun has less to do with individual gameplay elements than execution. The balance between weapon types makes a huge difference in FPS games. Chip damage vs recovery mechanics, cover systems vs stealth vs run and gun etc.

Similarly there have been so many health systems in FPS games you don’t need to invent something particularly new, but you do need to pick something appropriate to the gameplay. For example in PvE players need to be able to fight waves of enemies but in PvP games nobody wants to stand for 30 seconds firing at a bullet sponge.

Puzzle games need interesting puzzles, racing games need appropriate tracks, and so forth.
The secret bits can be protected by a strong passprase (which you can print out) or kept in a hardware device that also does enough of the cryptography to allow the secrets to stay on the hardware device. After that the problem becomes one of backup. You can scatter your encrypted keys all over the internet if you want (or just on a reliable server somewhere). You can have a bunch of hardware devices stored in various safe places and protected in various ways.

You often hear advice that comes down to keeping, say, your PGP keys in one secure place, but that is a terrible idea... E2EE encryption needs a good backup approach. If your system does not provide that in a easy to use way for the user then you have a bad system. E2EE encryption is hard but it doesn't help to leave all the hardness for the user.
"Web3" didn't start to refer to anything VR or metaverse-related until very recently. For years, it's been the vague promise of a decentralized system, enabled by handwavey blockchain technobabble.

But now, with Meta's metaverse being hyped to high heaven, but also proving to be pretty much a nothingburger, suddenly web3 means metaverse, too? I smell shenanigans.
This is a fantastic idea! I had no trouble playing scales along the row.

Is the source code available? As a C#/D player, I find the relationships between the rows unfriendly, and miss the bottom two buttons of the row. Plus I'd love to have real accordion sound samples, and maybe MIDI output...

(ooo, plus I guess if you only wanted two rows of right hand notes, then you could have two rows of bass buttons, just like a real box only with a lot more chords available...)

The difference is: If you lose your smartcard, it's pretty straight forward for your employer to verify your identity and issue a new one.

How do I do that with WhatsApp? We all know how well these tech giants react if you got permanently locked you out of accounts, no matter whose fault it was.

And even if I could get a new key, I would have to explain to all my contacts why my key changed and they would have to re-verify it over a secure channel. It doesn't scale.

Now you might say: just keep multiple copies, but there will be cases where people lose all copies, and depending on how much of our digital lives will be tied to these keys, we will need a secure recovery plan for that.
A similar tactic is SWATting, the act of fraudulently calling emergency services to another person's address. [1]

I tend to disagree with this. In my experience most common constructs are supported pretty well, especially for maths. The complex stuff comes when you want to do slightly less common stuff — like, for instance, turning the character ‘λ’ into a command for custom typesetting of lambda expressions (as in the article).
The area in question is super touristy so that's not too weird :)

The lack of cyclists passing through is weirder IMO.
I've had weird hours and days my whole career, but have always pushed back on unpaid overtime (and it all is when they classify you as exempt/salaried) including uncompensated on-call.

IMO it's possible to limit your hours, though you might have to work odd ones.

The only way to meaningfully have control over your schedule is to be independently wealthy, or to live in an advanced social democracy, which amounts to the same thing.
It's not an issue of innovation but rather about priorities in resource allocation - obviously the society does not consider that those are the world's most urgent problems, because it has not chosen to assign large quantities of funding towards them. If words say one thing but actions show another, then obviously the actions show the truth and the words are just lies; we the people have voted with our wallets that these problems are relatively irrelevant.

And that's kind of what the article says in more diplomatic terms - if you really believe that sustained development is important, then you have to put your money where your mouth is and fund it.

No one said scientific research direction and progress didn't have bias. There's a large set of unknowns and it's dictated in part by the things people want to investigate, what people can get funded to investigate, how much progress already exists / how much promise seems to exist, and so on.

If you look at health related research donations, you'll find a lot of money is poured into breast and prostate cancer. By most measures of overall impact, these diseases aren't all that critical but people care about their breasts and prostates. Funding agencies try to look at things a little more objectively but this is but one example of bias.

https://www.vox.com/2014/8/20/6040435/als-ice-bucket-challen...

Federal funding agencies themselves intentionally introduce bias by largely picking areas to fund that influence direction. Researchers work to spin whatever they really want to do in the context of where the money is but they need to eat and pay rent too.
There are games with very realistic character animation like e.g. The Last of Us Part 2. But that is a lot of effort, requires a lot of expertise and is likely very expensive. Correct animations can also conflict with fast and responsive movement, and most games will prefer responsiveness to realistic animations. Having both requires advanced approaches that can blend different animations well, which seems to be rather difficult.
Just say no, it's not necessary, some companies are just bad, find a new one. I remember an interview I went to, everyone looked really tired, they had to get some feed from half the world a way in South Africa, in real time. Fair enough I thought, so what sort of hours are we talking - they couldn't, or wouldn't, give me an answer. I declined. Some companies are just bad, find a new one.

> But New Zealand is not Asia, all of Asia is a lot closer time-zone wise than NZ to Europe

Exactly. So if it works for Europe with New Zealand, it should work at least as well with Asia.

You should be weary with Spain, though. Even though it's quite out West, they're still using Central European Time (same as Hungary / Poland in the East), which is completely absurd. Hell, even France shouldn't be using CET, but WET / GMT. Only Portugal uses WET, and you have to go East to Finland / the Baltics / Romania / Bulgaria / Greece to switch time zones again (EET / GMT + 2). [0] is a handy map of time zones in Europe.

It's funny though, that people who are learned at economics tend to write it off as zero-sum nonsense as well. At which point they are told they don't understand the technology.
But not until years later. Yahoo was still very much a player in the industry after the dot-com crash.
Also had it for 15 years, I was sharper in my 20s than now but now and I think age and MS have affected that. I realise I'm at my best when not stressed, well rested and happy. However I'm not always in control of those. Stress is easier to deal with as I talk to my employers about my condition and I avoid anything stressful when possible. I still feel useless some days and have bad brain fog and can't think clearly, it gives me a lot of imposter syndrome.

Im currently moving somewhere else to get better rest. And my happiness is in progress, I tried anti depressants but I get anxiety and I tried CBT but it didn't work either. I do also swim regularly which helps too but still not enough. Im hoping this move will help. However its gone on for so many years that I think I will seek a professional soon.

Covid and the pandemic definitely affected me, I couldn't walk properly for weeks after recovering from it. I used to do 20min walk every day to recover and just to keep active and get out. My depression got worse (was getting CBT in days before lockdown) but a few friends of mine play regularly online so I got to be social at least and talk about it. To add to this, I also quit my job before lockdown to travel so I was unemployed for a year in pandemic. I remember going to cafes when things partially opened to practise interview questions and did little projects. I finally got a job the next year.

I'm still worried I won't be strong enough to travel one day, my max distance walking is 1.5km, give or take, without a rest, I could go a lot further only a few years ago.

I know MS affects everyone differently and it can be a very hidden condition. My life could of been quite different without it but it could have been worse. Im lucky to have found a job coding and the silver lining of the pandemic is wfh. I see it like you have to play with the cards your dealt and whatever you can change for the better then try to. It's not been an easy road till now but I try and remain hopeful for the future.

I know it must be even harder considering your circumstances and your health. I hope this helps to know your not alone at least.
Not sure what you think my point was or how that remark relates to it.
Try doing something like that in the real world and you will not be doing anything for many years :)

In the real world you can't enter or demolish any building you want. So it makes sense for games not to offer this either until it's an actual plot point to do so.

Absolutely, and theres nothing bad or wrong about playing it or watching a Micheal Bay movie. If you like it then great.

Many games seem to transition into more movie-like experience. Assassins Creed games for example, I found at some point I prefer to watch someone play it who cuts out the filler (while providing limited & entertaining commentary) and its just like a movie.

What are the common business hours in Spain? I was thinking everything happens later there, so a 10 PM dinner is not uncommon, because of the ridiculous time zone they use (Central European Time, when most of the country is West of GMT).

You want Wnt to be named after butterfly stripes? Last sentence below gives away wnt and lack of it leading to colon polyps/cancer. It does a million other things though. Might as well call it signaling molecule 145626.

The activation of the pathway occurs at the cellular membrane, where Wnt ligands bind to the seven transmembrane-domain protein receptors Frizzled (Fzd) and/or to the low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein (LRP) 5/6. This interaction leads to the inhibition of the axin degradasome destruction complex, which is a multiprotein complex that controls the cytoplasmic amount of β-catenin via phosphorylation, and, thereby, triggers β-catenin degradation by the proteasome in the absence of Wnt [10]. The destruction complex comprises the tumor suppressor adenomatous polyposis coli (APC), the axin scaffold protein, and two Ser/Thr kinases: glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK3) β and casein kinase 1 (CK1). In the absence of Wnt ligands, CK1 phosphorylates β-catenin at Ser45 residue and GSK3β at Ser33/Ser37/Thr41 residues. Then, the β-transducin repeats-containing protein (β-TrCP), an E3-ubiquitin ligase, ubiquitinates phosphorylated β-catenin, which becomes a target for proteasomal degradation [10].
When Wnt binds to Fzd and/or LRP5/6 receptors, the Wnt/β-catenin pathway is activated and the axin degradasome is inhibited [9]. As a consequence, Dishevelled (Dvl) is activated and recruits the degradasome complex to the plasma membrane, and, thereby, promotes the interaction between LRP5/6 and axin [11,12]. Consequently, LRP5/6 is phosphorylated at specific amino acidic residues (Ser1490, Thr1530, Thr1572, Ser1590, Ser1607) [13], acting as a direct competitive inhibitor of GSK3β [14].
Moreover, inactivation of GSK3β through Akt-dependent Ser9 phosphorylation prevents the phosphorylation of β-catenin, which allows its stabilization and accumulation in the cytoplasm. Stabilized β-catenin translocates to the nucleus where it binds to transcription factors, notably T-cell factor (TCF) and lymphoid enhancing factor (LEF), TCF/LEF. This interaction displaces the co-TCF/LEF repressor Groucho, whose function under basal conditions is to compact chromatin [15]. Groucho and TCF/LEF form a multiprotein complex, which is also termed Wnt enhanceosome, that recruits transcriptional co-activators and histone modifiers such as the ATP-dependent helicase Brahma-related gene 1 (BRG1, also known as SMARCA4), cyclic adenosine mono phosphate response element (CREB)-binding protein (CBP), p300, B-cell lymphoma 9 (BCL9), and pygo [15,16]. The Wnt enhanceosome regulates chromatin remodeling and activates the transcription of β-catenin-dependent genes involved in cell growth and survival, including C-MYC, CCND1, BIRC5, and CDKN1a [9]. C-myc is a proto-oncogene that activates cyclin D1 and simultaneously inhibits p21 and p27, which leads to uncontrolled cell proliferation

I'm running NixOS unstable, with flakes, and while my code is an unstructured mess NixOS gives me a couple of things.

* Bleeding edge packages

* Bleeding edge alternative packages (Try wayland an pipewire without being scared)

* Upgrades that doesn't evaluate changes nothing (except disk space)

* Upgrades that evaluates but doesn't work ("never" happens) are atomic and can be rolled back from (unless you mess with boot, but even then booting NixOS livecd, mounting things up and running the install command will get you back)

* Things that aren't in your config doesn't exist in your system

* Identical systems across machines (with configurable differences)

The difference is huge, but some things are a pain in the ass, so I use "distrobox" too for small one-off things, it manages podman to set up an OS container for me that shares my homedir and such (so I get all my dot files in there too)

* You'll learn to appreciate systemd

* You'll eventually learn a bit of FP

* Once something works, it keeps working.

There are more pros, and I didn't list any cons, but with fistrobox you can hide many warts where your FP skills are lacking.

So to answer your question, upgrades between versions will probably always break for you, but they'll break on build time, so you fix them (mostly deprecated/moved options) and then it's all fine and dandy, rather than your system being broken.
Getting Out of a Rut
Lately, I’ve just been trying to get by.

Feels like my body has been running on autopilot. The consequence of which life just seems to go by even faster. Losing the ability to relax and the feeling of self-control, over-indulging in endless feeds of videos, games and services that further drain the energy that I so crave to return. To a point where it feels more like an addiction, with my body now responding with physical discomforts and a relapse of anxiety that I have not felt for years.

But I think everything’s going to be alright.

Getting out of bed is a drag, my apartment might be a bit messy, work and relationships not going as well I’d like, procrastinated every possible task that needs to be done.. You know. Right now, I’m just surprised to find myself writing about it whilst grateful to be acknowledging that I’m in a rut.

I'm motivated to get out of this. At the same time I’m scared I’ll just go back to autopilot on Monday.

In February, I’ll become a father and I want to be there for my son.

Where do I go from here?
It's not just their mass and general size. Moose have very long legs so, in a collision, a lot of the front car parts designed to absorb energy can end up largely passing under the bulk of the moose and upper structure offers relatively little protection.
Yes, that is another hotspot, but tensions between them have risen and fallen and neither party appears to be willing to commit to the end of the world. They are in an equilibrium of MAD.
