An aside: never declare something to be a fixnum in Common Lisp. Fixnum means different things in different CL implementations, so this is a good way to get unportable code. Instead, use explicit integer range types.
I sincerely feel like, if people spoke the same language, horrible shit would get harder to abide (and, no, Ukraine and Russian are not the same).

Imagine a video of Yemeni people starving to death on the news, but they sound just like you and your loved ones. It feels like that would turn the empathy WAY up.

But maybe I'm tripping into the same optimistic pitfall.
I’m lucky enough to live in a country where all this is taken for granted. When I take 6 or 12 months parental leave I just get a pat on the back from both colleagues and management. Same when I leave at 3PM to pick up kids. Everyone understands that this is how it works. Work is something we do when our lives permit it. Not the other way around.
It's weird to me to call this "doubling" instead of "mirroring" but anyway, I'm not neurodivergent, but I've always found it nice to sit with someone else in silence, reading or studying. Its a very calming experience.
I recently created a web app to visualize GPS tracking files

Off topic, but since you work with GPS tracking files, perhaps you can recommend a GPS tracking device for me.

Until last year, I used one I got around 2005 that was about half the size of a pack of cigarettes. You turned it on, and it would start logging waypoints at 10 minute intervals to a standard text tracking file on a microSD card. I could unload that text file into my computer and plot the route on a map in a bunch of mapping applications.

It was great because when I was going on an adventure off the grid, or traveling overseas or something, I'd clip it to my backpack and then when I got home look at all the fun places I'd been.

I recently tried to find a replacement on Amazon, and nothing is suitable. They are all:

- Built with a big magnet for clamping to the underside a car

- Just a stripped-down Android phone, so large, fragile, and complicated

- Require a subscription

- Require cellular connectivity

- A watch

- A piece of software

I don't want connected. I don't want to subscribe to anything. I don't want it to drain my phone's battery. I don't want to stalk my ex-girlfriend.

I just want something simple that I can turn on and turn off. I know it's possible, because I had one. I just want to find another one.
> The answer is you reduce your housing exposure by buying.

My exposure to housing is certainly much higher if I buy than if I don't (and invest that money in e.g. stocks).

What do you mean by exposure here?
Exactly this. I had a few Indian colleagues, contracted individually, and they were very smart and capable and a pleasure to work with.

I also had an entire team contracted using a middleman Indian company, and they were barely competent. First they impressed us with an awesome demo (an animated login screen and some generic dialogs... which in hindsight they probably copied from some other project and reused to impress all customers), but afterwards all requests took a lot of time to complete, and the things they delivered were often not the things we have actually requested. We assumed this was a honest misunderstanding and thought "we can clarify the misunderstandings and let them do it over, and it will still be much cheaper than hiring a local team for the same job", but one year later we realized we still had nothing useful, and if we had hired a local team instead, they could have the same thing done in a month or two, so it would even be cheaper that way.

But this was not about India, but about using the middleman. In a different company we have hired a local team using a middleman, and it also turned out to be a disaster. Not as horrible as with the Indian middleman though; it is probably easier to be completely shameless if you never have to meet the people in person.

I guess the lesson is that you can outsource programming, but you can't outsource hiring programmers.

This is my take on it as well. I think Musk has been a complete douche lately, and I've never bought into the "Musk is Tony Stark" narrative.

However he is a nuanced human being, and so even though I don't like his current public persona, I know there is more there than just that.

Maybe twitter will collapse (that would be really bizarre) given all the people that still love to use it (I stopped about 18 months ago). Maybe it will become even more popular (kinda doubt it). No idea.

Regardless, the frantic claims are tiring and pointless except to monetize outrage.
Twitter is a public company, anyone can go and read their quarterly reports. They also have an investor relations website where you can find some information as well. This information is not a week old.

Are you surprised that a company that is losing money has a reduction in force?

This was always my go to interview question when I wanted to smugly prove to someone I’m smarter than them because I knew in fact they were smarter than me and I was feeling insecure. Good to see others use overflow gotchas too.

> We don’t need a half assed Twitter replacement.

Twitter as an announcement platform offers nothing approaching USD $40b in value. Other governments and organisations could follow the example of the EU and establish a Mastodon server.

Twitter as another "social media" cluster of coitus never really had a clear value proposition apart from 90% of its revenue coming from advertising.

As such, it is just another advertising delivery system.
In 99% of situations you do not check the error type nor the value, like io.Reader.

like,mind=blown.

i was on a trek last month and was following a trail from a gpx file. there was no other guide with us so i had to constantly keep the phone on, try to be on the dotted line and more often i would divert to one side and had going up, we diverted a lot, had to face trouble being rimrocked more than once.

one, i felt like a need for voice navigation on OSM for hiking, just a simple "you have diverted from track, move to right 10 meters to be back on track" followed by "you are on track".

then i felt like the app should have 3d elevation data WITH the gpx track so that i can look at the phone, see the contour and look up at the rock and cross reference. This is 100% what i wanted.

1. is this open source ?
2. can this be added to some hiking app or even to osmand?
3. i tried to add a gpx track and got "Track does not contain Timing data.". if the file does not have that data, why not ignore all that and just show the visualization?
I'm not saying English has no nuance beyond my example.

But this relatively simple grammar is English's strength. Consider how you translate your examples into other languages, especially the future hypotheticals that aren't a trivial concept to communicate period yet the rules for producing them are still simple in English.
I think lots of photojournalists in the 60s switched to 35mm because it allowed them to shoot more frames, and 35mm is sufficient for newspaper.

Unfortunately, while those are good ideas, they’re also cat and mouse games. It’s a bit like saying that client side anti-cheat software makes it harder to cheat in videogames. It does, but you’re looking for an unbeatable test, which doesn’t exist.

Nothing exemplified this problem more than the recent Twitter takeover. On tiktok, fake news was running rampant, and I saw it happen in real time. At one point someone said that a Twitter employee banned Elon on his way out, while showing a screenshot of the “eIon musk” fake account: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRx6G9mG/

There were also actual deepfakes of Elon’s voice that fooled me. I wish I saved it, since it’s highly relevant to this thread. But it only became clear it was a fake when it started saying ridiculous things. They even had a video of Elon talking, and they didn’t have to bother syncing his lips with the audio. Viral clips just need a veneer of authenticity to short circuit our monkey brains.

It wasn’t till I fell for that deepfake that I started realizing how much of a problem we might be facing. The next few presidential candidates might need to put out statements saying “X wasn’t true,” while the majority of people already believe X because they saw it happen live on tiktok.

You can buy the data, the agencies responsible for these data make some decent coin. Yes, they are expensive to obtain, but that is paid by taxpayers anyways, so it is kind of double dipping.

The entire area of Czech republic is available at 0,2-0,125 m per pixel for around ~100k EUR. Not unattainable for those who need it, but not hobbyist price either. For the neighboring Slovak republic, the ortophoto at 0,2 m per pixel is available for free.

I believe current trends in warfare are extremely interesting. I've come to the conclusion that we're slowly reverting towards WWI trench warfare once again.

Tanks and aircraft have become extremely vulnerable due to smart munitions with shaped charge warheads and anti-aircraft missiles (both SAM and MANPADS). This means that breaking through enemy lines becomes all but impossible or only at enormous human cost.

It wouldn't surprise me if chemical warfare is once again used to break the stalemate. Other options are autonomous killing machines and drone swarms (which we're already seeing to some extent).

> most binary search implementations don't claim they only work under some particular inputs

They do implicitly. It's just common sense. When you read a recipe in a cookbook, it usually doesn't mention that you're expected to be standing on your legs, not on your arms. Reader is expected to derive these things themselves.

A lot of generic algorithm implementations will start acting weird if your input size has the order of INT_MAX. Instances this big will take days or weeks or process on commodity CPUs, so if you're doing something like that you would normally use a specialized library that takes these specifics into account.
> I have it disabled on MacOS, so no idea how it works there

Well that's really at the core of my question. Why do you have it disabled? What need to be improved so that you don't disable it.

I think almost everyone would agree that if you type "teh" or other common typos it would nice for computer to automatically correct them. But many people (myself included much of the time) disable autocorrect. I think this is because the UI isn't ideal.

I'm looking for ways to fix that. Maybe it's not fixable, but if you can enumerate specifics on why you disabled autocomplete on macOS I might come up with some solutions. Thanks!
Someone I know replaced alcohol with THC edibles recently and had the same experience. She loves it.

For the rest of us looking in, she has become more irritable, anxious, and depressed when she doesn't have the drug, and has become effectively dependent on it to socialize. There was also one study I saw that attributed an 8-10 point IQ drop with long-term weed use.

The effects of weed on your body are a lot less noticeable to you, but they do exist and are harmful for you over the long term. The systems that weed targets (particularly your long-term reward and habit forming systems) are not the same as other drugs, but they change in response to the drug nonetheless.

How? When it comes to pricing the environment, we have a long history of missing the mark by orders of magnitude, due in part to the extremely long delays between cause and effect, and also due to markets and financial vested interests preventing accurate information about costs, and even preventing the analysis of costs. https://scholarship.law.georgetown.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?a...
It’s a clumsy formulation, but if what he means is that you need to be assured that the model you’re proving in accurately reflects the behavior of what is being modeled then he is correct at least sometimes. For example a naive Z3 proof of the mid procedure would be valid since Z3 ints are unbounded. The issue isn’t that the proof is wrong, it’s that the model is.

If the system has a well written formal specification then your model can be built from that without error if done diligently. One real world example is the first Algol 60 compiler, which was built to a formal specification. On the other hand if there is no useful spec or no spec at all then you end up needing to experiment, ie test, and get your model as close as you can.
It's economically hardnosed of them. It's on average cheaper to just take the chance and pay off damages if someone is injured or killed. Remember, the highest chance of fatality will be in densely populated lower latitude countries where the monetary cost of killing someone is lower.

While I love seeing these stories about kids moderating their screentime and seeing the benefits, I worry equally as much as the early generations who grew up with an abundance of screentime (TV, Video Games, Early Internet).

I think all categories of screentime are considered addictions and I wonder if distance away from them for extended periods of time helps provide enough perspective as to how much value they actually bring to your life in comparison to other people or things that do make you happy.

"Coherent Surface Plasmon Polariton Amplification via Free Electron Pumping" (2022) Ye Tian, Dongdong Zhang, Yushan Zeng, Yafeng Bai, Zhongpeng Li, and 1 more
https://doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-1572967/v1

> Abstract: Surface plasmonic with its unique confinement of light is expected to be a cornerstone for future compact radiation sources and integrated photonics devices. The energy transfer between light and matter is a defining aspect that underlies recent studies on optical surface-wave-mediated spontaneous emissions. But coherent stimulated emission, being omnipresent in every laser system, remains to be realized and revealed in the optical near fields unambiguously and dynamically. Here, we present the coherent amplification of Terahertz surface plasmon polaritons via free electron stimulated emission. We demonstrate the evolutionary amplification process with a frequency redshift and lasts over 1-mm interaction length. The complementary theoretical analysis predicts a 100-order surface wave growth when a properly phase-matched electron bunch is used, which lays the ground for a stimulated surface wave light source and may facilitate capable means for matter manipulation, especially in the Terahertz band.

> They barely broke even at 90+% capacity factors

I don't understand this line of argument - that's a high capacity factor! And it's not a dirunal or annual one either, it's a predictable "we need to shut down to refuel" one. It sounds like it wouldn't have broken even, even at 100% capacity factor? At which point it's no longer "too cheap to meter" but "nuclear power is too expensive". And that's before we even dig into capex vs opex vs decommissioning vs disaster insurance.

> This is true if you need large amounts of resources ($) to achieve your research goals.

My experience is that the quoted situation is the exception in US academia. Despite paying a pittance, graduate students are expensive enough to make professors dependent on the approval of funders. And that's where the loss of autonomy comes from.

It seems to me that certain parts of academia that are more funded by teaching like pure math may be more immune to this, but STEM broadly seems accurately described by the chapter I recommended.

> However, what I was thinking about when I wrote that was that I control my schedule, calendar, research objectives, and have a yearly check in on my performance. In contrast, my experience in industry was VERY different across the board.

I agree with what you said, aside from that I don't think you have full autonomy over your research objectives. If you think you control your own research objectives, I recommend reading the chapter I mentioned. As far as I can tell, your interests are well aligned with what's supported. I looked you up, and was not surprised to see that you work in deep learning, one of the most supported and hyped fields around today. People (like myself) whose interests aren't aligned with what's supported often find academia to be quite hostile. The relative research autonomy you feel is real, but if you decide to move outside of deep learning, you may no longer find the same sense of research autonomy.

The latter - which is what this thread is about, IMO - is easier to implement because the sizes are always non-negative.
You aren't alone. I started drinking more during COVID. Before that I only drank socially or once in a while, but then I decided to explore the world of bourbon. I bought a bar cart, got into reading reviews, and really luxuriated in the experience of searching/buying/sipping/rating. It's a fun hobby, but it is also pervasive and expensive and I've lost sight of how much is too much. Drinking 4 oz every night has become the norm, because it is the perfect relaxant to the end of a stressful workday, but getting drunk every night isn't good.
