The ">>>" operator works, the ">>" operator doesn't. The reason the former works is that it basically performs unsigned division by a power of 2; the latter does it signed. There's no floating-point.
One year back in my hometown the weather was so perfect for a year it kind of got me down.

It was just perfectly sunny and clear for what felt like 320 days.

Weird.

I would’ve loved to see some cold gloomy days but I hardly did.

My iPhone 6 got an iOS update last month. I was pleasantly surprised they still updated an old iOS.
AWS / systems professional here. I’d use something like Netlify for a personal site instead of the complexities and knobs available when using AWS S3 static site options. AWS bare is the equivalent to me of trying to use Linux From Scratch in 2012 for running a bash script in a cronjob when there’s distributions like Ubuntu out there meant to do a lot of the boring and mostly inconsequential stuff for everyone besides the highly regulated. It’s great for educational reasons but learning and productivity are usually diametrically opposed in use cases.
It's not good if so many people move in that it overwhelms the streets, hospitals, schools, etc.
Very interesting. Thank you!

Would you explain more about arguing with the toddler about getting into the car?
What there is to discuss though, Jordan Peterson is a well-known climate change denier and populist, so of course he is going to peg the energy crisis on environmentalism, and not the unsustainable nature of the fossil fuel industry.

People like him making money by spreading misinformation are the problem. It's sad that many are listening to loudmouths like him spewing nonsense constantly, and not the scientists.

I'm tired of these internet personalities ruining everything for their personal gain. I'm tired of all the anti-intellectualism. We ought to be smarter than this.
More than half the American families earn less than 75k household income[1]. So the career/life prospects are grim either way.

1. Think what title you would like to have in your next job (e.g., Senior Staff Engineer, Senior Eng. Manager, etc.)

2. Use your work hours (30% of them? Depends on your workload) to learn what's needed to be comfortable assuming that future role (e.g., read tons of books, learn about relevant tech stack used nowadays, etc.)

3. When you feel ready (let's say, in 9 months), start looking for a job with that specific job title you want. Make sure in your resume you highlight that you know X and Y and Z (skills relevant to the position you're applying): you can put this as part of your current job.
I think when we consider what Facebook has taught us about anonymity vs real name policies we have to also remember that Facebook's feed disproportionately rewards sensationalist content.
I used to sleep under my desk when I worked on Capitol Hill like George Costanza. Except if I rolled on my back I would snore… A mid day nap is very helpful, and before wfh I had a sofa in my office for precisely that reason.

*If you are talking about the exercise and diet fixes adhd research...A litany of scientific literature with studies that closely follow and ensure compliance with protocol?

This is the sort of comment that makes me really take a hard look at capitalism. The way I see it, scientific work is rewarding in and of itself. I don’t _need_ to make huge amounts of money if I’m doing something intellectually rewarding that contributes to our collective knowledge. Sure, add monetary compensation to your list of optimising constraints. But to make it the SOLE optimising constraint in your life? That’s tragic, IMO. Make enough. Do interesting things. Cultivate rewarding relationships. Be happy.
I do agree with this case: Microsoft is illegally profiting from other people's source code.

Just because the source code is open and sometimes free to use, does not mean Microsoft can sell a service based on it.
I like your language of decoys and local minima. It's very easy to follow out of date documentation and find yourself wasting time in a cul-de-sac
I think the problem with this vision isn't that "people talking to each other won't prevent violence" it's that people posting text, images, and video is not the same as people talking to each other. Even a video call is not the same as talking to someone in person. It's hard to build empathy and connection with someone you can't make eye contact with.
So, this is a special purpose measurement tool with some automation, and it is not a computer. The way the word computer is understood today is an automatic, general purpose, stored program, electronic computer. The Antikythera mechanism, OTOH, is a complex, slightly automated, astrolabe. There is a very fundamental conceptual leap that the the astrolabe fails to make which is that all calculation can be done by a machine made of rather simple parts: switches.

All of that said, I think the main reason that the Antikythera mechanism continues to be fascinating is that people have a very haughty view of the modern world and modern civilization, and they assume that people of the past were dullards (with zero evidence to support the view). I would wager that people have always been rather smart, but that we’ve merely become increasingly specialized over time.

I think you'd get different responses from different people but this comic didn't ring true for me because I don't recall the sort of optimism about information sharing it claims.

I'm sure someone could point to some quotes and some evidence of it happening but I don't remember that being the dominant theme. For every techno optimist there were probably an equal number of people terrified of their kids downloading porn or talking to strangers.

There was unbridled optimism, to what I remember as sickening levels of hype (although some of it turned out to be true eventually). But the optimism was more general I think and my impression was it was focused more on business and work opportunities, about how it would facilitate and open up possibilities for making tasks and things like communicating with loved ones easier. The stuff about it leading to a democratic utopia seemed to be looked on with a bit of ridicule — most from that time period had some memory of terrorism and conflict worldwide, and of the shadowy anxieties of the cold war. The idea that sort of thing would go away because of the internet seemed laughable, if for no reason its penetration wasn't clear even in the US and Europe.

But that's just one impression.
In terms of body count, those still win, because Mutually Assured Destruction keeps giving people pause. But the Internet has turned into a machine for goading people into making a mistake, and it will only take one.

Meantime, thus far it's used just for local genocides, like Myanmar.

I guess I am that old: I started computing on a green-on-black Apple ][, and later moved to unix on a VT320 terminal. I have stuck with green-on-black in my terminal ever since. I love to work in a darkish room, and thus also like my desktop dark to avoid getting blinded by my screen. I'm pretty happy with the "dark mode" movement of the last few years!

Also, I wear glasses and find that white-on-black suffers quite a lot from chromatic aberration; green-on-black does not have this problem and results in crispy sharp text on any brightness level.
I didn't take that as the unsaid implication of the comic at all.
...wait until people get tired and cold and things get expensive and nato will very quickly fall apart. If my country offered training i would take it - I'm about a 16hr drive from the actual front lines. Thats really close...meanwhile soccer players are still on €5k+ a week, us footballers still on their millions. I fear the russians will win this as apathy and 'hardships' continue - the vast majority of people i talk to really don't give a fuck - especially when you go through russias brutal invasions. "But the Americans did just as bad" is a common reply: yes, i agree but now the war is coming this way...and a lot of people don't quite get the implications on their lives. We're all too darn comfortable at the moment.
The GDP difference is not so big is you consider that they are not fighting Ukraine alone, but also all the countries that believe that they are in the "to be invaded" list [1]. So money/weapons/training flow, but not soldiers. It's good deal for Ukraine because they get money they need for the defense and it's a good deal for the other country because they prefer that the war is fight elsewhere.

Leicas were always expensive cameras - I think in the 30s we're talking the equivalent of a months wages, so these were never made and marketed as consumer products for the average consumer.

The professionals at the time were using 5x4, so things like the Crown Graphic for press photography, or rolleiflex TLRs shooting to 120 format film. There were a number of relatively cheap TLRs about, and the folding cameras you refer to, both using 120 format (which I think Kodak launched in 1901, so predating Barnack's work).

It's not clear to me when 35mm became ubiquitous. The growth of cheap consumer cameras came post world war II from Japan and Germany as their hi-tech industry was repurposed. In addition, post WWII people as a whole didn't have disposable income for consumer purchases, and we're really looking at the mid to late 50s before things start booming.

Alcohol is bad. But smoking weed on a daily basis was worse for me. After a good while a sense of general anxiety settles in, you’re dumber, head is always in a fog. I’d much rather moderately have alcohol. Weed is great if you don’t have anything to do and can just hang out in life though. Weed in moderation is probably the best but it’s hard for me to smoke weed only a couple of times a month. It’s all or nothing.

Just because that there ARE anonymous people posting stupid shit, doesn't mean all people do that when anonymous. In fact, show me a nice invention that wasn't made by a freedom loving person. No bigger freedom than anonymity! We need it. How can you express yourself without being silenced right from the start without it? How can you spread disruptive ideas when people instanly have a name to point fingers to?

An idea should be separate from a person, to really be neutral. If there is a person behind it, people start investigating the person, rather than checking the idea in depth.

I agree and to expand on some of these:

3) Definitely; newborns eat, sleep, and poop. Mostly sleep. Take advantage of this. Sleep when they sleep, run errands, go out to eat, etc. You may develop an unjustified feeling that "I'm a great parent, look at how satisfied my kid is - they so rarely cry! What are all these other parents whining about?" Nature will punish you for your arrogance.

4) Your experience can also vary with subsequent children. This is also normal.

5) The most important bit of advice.

For some of my own:

6) From newborn through toddler (at minimum) kids don't have much agency (if any) and don't have the brain capacity to control impulses. There is no such thing as spoiling a baby or young toddler - and yes that is something people tried to tell us. Spoil them as much as you can. They won't remember it but they will remember feeling loved.

7) Babies and kids regress. You will think you mastered a sleep routine and schedule, all will go well for 3 months, then they'll suddenly go back to waking up every 2 hours for no apparent reason. Don't panic, this is normal.

8) It is tempting to order tons of baby and kid products, especially with the first. A lot of it ended up being a waste. We learned to keep the essentials on-hand but for other things wait to see if it was needed.

9) Don't be afraid to be the villain. It was my job to discuss what mom wanted and be her advocate during the birth process and sleepless newborn days. For example: my first was born with complications that led to a C-section so my wife was under for a bit after he was born. Family wanted to come in immediately but I told the nurses that absolutely no one was allowed in our room with the baby, no matter how pushy they were. I knew how important it was to mom that she held the baby first. I made some family members mad and I have zero regrets about that. They eventually got over it.

10) If sleep is important to you find a sleep training strategy you like and implement it once you're past the newborn stage. No matter how much work you think it is when you see other parents taking 2 hours to get their toddlers to sleep you'll be glad you started early.
What we really need is a huge tax writeoff for primary homes. Own a second home? Owe massive taxes on it. Company owns thousands of homes? Massive taxes on every single one of them.

There's a massive homelessness problem in the USA right now. Lots of people are struggling to buy their first homes. I suspect it would take a long time (and involve lots of loopholes) to completely ban investor-owned properties... but I would support that as well.
Funny quote and all (no sarcasm intended) but I don't think it's fair to imply that, if future wars are bloodier than the past, it would be because we lowered barriers to communication.

As an anecdotal evidence, my wife told me that she first considered my complaints about work a red flag, but that happened when I was the only programmer she knew. As her social circle expanded to contain more programmers, she realized that all of them, without exception, were complaining about their jobs.

(To compare, the people happy about their jobs are mostly teachers. Possibly a selection effect, because teachers who are not happy about their jobs simply quit; they can get a better paying job anywhere.)

The part about "programming for 8 hours a day" only makes sense to me if I interpret it as doing the stuff the programmers do at their jobs: the dark Scrum, Jira tickets, endless meetings, open spaces, etc. Most programmers hate that with a passion; that is why many of us were so happy about Covid allowing us to work from home. Actual coding is quite fun, if it comes without the baggage.

Two chars - fixed amount. One control, one command. Just cleaner, simple and functional. It's something you type, and it is hidden, you want it to be short and clear.

«How is that different», more literally: it is markup, like in htMl, but it is a special markup for that other special purpose of direct rich text tagging in word processors, not for hypertext (HTml). I called it differently, but if you so fancy, it is DRTTIWPML.

Shame this stuff isn't backed by research. Hopefully it gets looked into. I wouldn't be surprised if it's helpful for some people though.
In my time as a PhD student (granted still there currently just at the finishing things up stage) I was actually part of founding an organization for students to basically do this. We invited speakers from different fields and had them talk about "alternative" career paths considering the current system basically assumes you want to become a professor. We also included a workshop every year where we would build in career skills and have professionals come and speak. You learn very quickly that there is an incredible range of activities one can do with a PhD.
In that case, shouldn't there be a flood, or at least a stream, of existing big companies setting up new subsidiaries to take advantage of this? There are many big companies with existing lobbyist divisions, deep pockets and experience in broadly similar areas. Food, cosmetics, chemicals spring to mind.
It’s funny you say that; one of my cousins in Miami wants to move there after finishing university and getting a good tech job. He already has Spanish citizenship too.
They would have lost their air superiority in a day or two. We have at least 200 immediately available meteor, and they have 13 planes on which those wouldn't be fully effective (basically the NEZ would be less than 60km for their Su57. Maybe.) We also have hundreds of MICA NG, and tbh, even our old MICA would be enough for most of Russian aircraft.

And I'm not even talking about US missiles, who are probably better than MICA.

Without air support, I don't see how you invade Poland and cross rivers.

Not my experience. To the contrary.
if you look at all those groups you can kind of see what each lacks compared to humans to get runaway intelligence benefits that basically create a continuous selective effect for more intelligence.

humans have a solid combination of dexterity, life span, and verbal communication. Dexterity allows for manipulation that allows intelligence to be used to maximum effect in an environment, life span allows for time to learn and share knowledge, and verbal communication allows to share knowledge effectively which allows group work and knowledge to pass through generations.

crows and elephants seem to be the most limited by lack of dexterity, crows actually try to use tools to get around the limitation. If Elephants had some octopus style multi-trunk tentacles that could be used like hands they'd be set I think

There was extreme optimism, and (pretty much) everyone thought the internet was going to solve the particular problems they cared/obsessed over. Most commonly: now everyone is going to agree with me and governments will do what I want them to do. But also generally there was a belief that everyone was going to be smarter, more capable and productive and society would accelerate advancement dramatically.
