There were a lot of canceled, freezed or postponed projects in 2008. Our industry isn't driven by FAANG/MAMAA as much as many think, but other industries like automotive, healthcare, telecom, etc. Less work to do means less hands are needed. Current layoffs aren't just a trimming of low performers.
The UMAP and tSNE algorithms both use fancy math to find a 2-dimensional representation of the data that tries to preserve local structure as much as possible. So blobs in the original space should be represented as blobs in the reduced space, but the relative positions of any two blobs in the reduced space is not meaningful.

Is it really a given that high testosterone leads to aggression? It can lead to dominance, but not necessarily violence.

The whole 'roid rage' thing has been shown to be the result of elevated estrogen levels (excess testosterone is converted to estrogen, which is why steroid users take an aromatase inhibitor).
Don’t you think it has more to do with a sedentary lifestyle vs a hands on lifestyle (lots more physical work 50 years ago, both out of the house and inside)
A few ideas:

1) make the sortition group big enough, say 1000 or 10000 people, so the required number of people bribed goes up, which increases bribery cost as well as chances of getting caught

2) make a bounty program to help put a lower bound on the cost to bribe

I was trying this and looks good, but I can not edit what time a task is done, when on week view, which makes it impossible to setup the time a task could be done at at a future date.

Also if I create a task on a weekly planner view, it should I believe show up as a task which "needs to be done" . It seems to not exist, unless I am in weekly view.

Because of this missing functionality or my ability to figure it out I cant use it - I think its a simple expectation my end though. Just offering feedback, looks great tho.
This has been a theory about an impending population decline because the earth just _can’t_ support that many people, for over 200 years but it’s never come to pass. This article is a convincing as a Robert Malthus piece from 1800.
Consider declining T levels an adaptation to a society moving past needing ooga-booga aggressive males regardless of cause. Does not seem like a bad thing per se.
Disclaimer: I don't live in the US.

Gerrymandering, yo.

This is _such_ a US centric view. Guys, you have way a worst problem than elections.
You have a party strongly pursuing getting rid of democratic results altogether.

Beyond the stated (That G word) the republican party is STRONGLY preparing the landscape to not recognize the results of the next election (Or the next one after that).

I actually have a bet with a friend about when the last democratic election is going to happen, and my money is on this last midterms being the ones (Gotta reckon, I wasn't expecting Gen-Z, and I'm gladly surprised I might be wrong).

Take for instance the last election in Brazil, where Lula beat Bolzonaro by the bare minimum: 51% to 49%. What would had been the results of such an election in the US? In 2016, Clinton won the popular vote by 2.1%, and _still_ Trump won the presidential race. In 2020, even thought Biden wan the popular vote by a large margin, the results were still down to a handful of votes [1]

The problem, as I see it, is that you have a democratic system that allows for suppressing democracy.

If you prefer something offline and where the data is on your own computer I made EasyOrg [0]. It saves everything in text files in org-mode format. It's mainly for personal use. There is no support for collaboration. Syncing can be done to your other computers as you like, for example Syncthing, Dropbox, pCloud, git, NAS or whatever. Backup is also easy as it's the same as you hopefully already have today.

I think you naively underestimate the value of such skills and how easy it is to do this for some actors like terrorist groups. They do not have easy access to people like maybe you who are interested in it and internally motivated to do it. Because people at some intelligence, education and skill level are much less likely to join terrorist organisations.

People who join terrorist organisations are usually ones that do not have many other options.

The government knows they are fighting a loosing battle but the idea is to make it harder and delay development, not necessarily ensure the knowledge is not available at all.
More like representative egalitarian scientist philosophers. They would not have total power, but they would have large influence. Think of an alternative governmental body, like the house and senate. You could even still have sortition as a separate body (a la Assembly). But this wise body would determine what was technically and logistically the best outcome, rather than purely moral. You could reject what the wise impartial person found through analysis, but it would be a difficult argument, because everyone would trust in impartiality and correctness, the same way we do in science. We could prefer what the whole body agreed upon, as it would be the most widely accepted scientific findings.
That's up to you.

I'd imagine the folks who lost billions have an opinion.
This is a wonderful explanation. Thank you very much.
Ditto. Coupled with the source of “I read it somewhere on the internet, not sure” I think we can safely disregard that.

I suggest to rediscover from the Condorcet paradox to the classic renaissance Italian city-states structure to the classic Athens demagogues: any system can be abused.

Then try finding an old book and a very old story: "The Science of Government Founded on Natural Law" by Clinton Roosevelt a relative of the much better known Franklin Delano and one of the scammers of the NY bank who became the FED years later [1] or the blatant explanation that all society develop a kind of hierarchy who is not at all democratic (nor meritocratic) who drive and (ab)use the others not differently than a shepherd with the flock. Sometimes the shepherd is soft and hidden enough that the flock do not revolt, sometimes it's not and get assaulted by the flock, sometimes it have to create a bit of theater, like wrestling, pushing the flock to think there are different ideas into play, they decide etc. The modern version of ancient Greeks theater where the orator start to plead a cause, convincing spectators who acclaim, than start to plead the exact opposite, in equally convincing manners. Those who understand applaud, those who not think he/she made fun of them and try to assault physically...

My custom keyboard layout Conkey [0] is surely my most prominent one — I use it constantly (including for typing this very comment). I hate the way the base US layout tends to get distorted in other keyboard layouts with good support for non-ASCII characters, so Conkey had the explicit goal of retaining that basic unshifted layout. I’ve also ended up porting Conkey to Mac and Linux — and given that I’m slowly switching from Windows to Linux, at least the Linux ports have ‘scratched my own itch’ too, which is nice.

Also, I made a utility to archive the full text of every website I view and store it in a SQLite database for searching. It’s proven pretty useful when I want to find something I saw a while ago and then forgot. (I haven’t attempted to open-source it, though — it consists of three entirely separate components, two of which were a pain to set up. I must try to get it into a more usable state one of these days.)

What else… my sound change applier [1], perhaps? Not that I use it very much, because I only need it on those occasions when I want to do some conlanging, which I haven’t had much time for recently. Actually, sound change appliers strike me as being very much a ‘scratch own itch’ type of project in general… sometimes it feels like every conlanger has written their own, and no two can agree on a nice design. Everyone just has their own unique preferred way of doing things.

The other party is presenting their service and the terms by which they are offering it. Nobody is shoving anything down your throat. The fact that you are given no opportunity to negotiate is representative of the power dynamic. I’d put money on you feeling differently about this situation were you on the other side, having potentially millions of customers and probably-just-one person that overestimates their importance thinking that you’re going to put any amount of effort into operationalising a varied TOS for them. Beginning to use their service under the assumption that your varied TOS has been accepted is really shoving something down their throat.

I have experience selling SaaS licenses to large organisations and there is certainly room for negotiation there, sometimes to the point where the base contract is provided by the customer. It doesn’t sound like you’re talking about even remotely comparable circumstances.

I submitted a game to the N64 homebrew jam this year, along with some team members I met on the discord server. It was cool dusting off some skills I had learned in an intro to graphics course from my undergrad. The game isn't complete, but we got some core elements working, animated characters, decently intuitive controls, basic collisions, extremely primitive 'AI'. There could be better docs/materials for onboarding new people to developing on the console, but we were able to piece together stuff over a couple of weeks.

> In the days following 9/11 I think we probably would have voted to start a nuclear war. The public, save the Dixie Chicks, were even more blood thirsty than the US Government.

The US government used 9/11 as an excuse to invade two countries.

Iraq was not involved in 9/11 at all, despite allegations, and it didn't have WMD either, despite allegations.

And we invaded Afghanistan, but bin Laden was eventually found in Pakistan, our "ally".

The US public might have voted to invade Saudi Arabia, which actually would have made more sense than Afghanistan or Iraq.

I would simply assume it has more to do with physical activity. If my dad isn't wrenching on a project VW in the garage he's bringing feed out to the horses, installing a new garage door on the shop or something of that nature.

This Article like much of the commentary around the current recession leaves the CEOs here mostly blameless in a world where half of all profit increases were done by companies, not by the growth of material cost or the loss of venture capital. They are not laying people off because they are struggling quite the opposite, they are laying them off because they promised 17% growth and they can achieve that by firing their engineers and assuming more with come.

It's always sad to see the "who could have forseen this" argument passed around whenever things like this happen.

In fact if you treated companies like any financial advisor would tell you to treat something like a 401k or a savings account they would have considered what these companies have been doing for the last two years outright gambling with them and in turn also gambling employees futures.

With a lack of accountability for these reckless financial decisions though there is little chance that things will improve in the short or long term. This will continue to happen until legislation provides some kind of guardrail to simply firing at will anyone who disrupts a profit margin with their well paid talent and years of service.
The point is that no one knows the future. In the depths of the bust its hard to see when the market will pick up again. So, even companies with money are cautious about hiring at the bottom.
this is going in the right direction, in my opinion.
Step One to fix democracy would be for the US to have something approaching a representative democracy. Which means 100% voter participation, and substantial government interest in why voters do not participate.

This does not mean forcing you to vote for anyone in particular, but it does mean forcing people to turn up and indicate some type of preference - even if that preference is "no one here".

Mandatory voting is common elsewhere [1], and the sell is simple: voting is compulsory for all citizens unless a valid reason is provided (which isn't a high bar for most valid reasons) or a nominal fine is imposed (in Australia - $20 [2]). This fine isn't significant in anyway, it just has to exist because it does two things: asks people how much they seriously don't want to participate in the free thing which ensures their freedom, (2) forces the AEC to look into the matter - they have to try and collect the fine, and in turn ask why someone didn't vote, which means incidents are investigated, and (3) if a lot of people are getting fined the suddenly it's going to very much become a national issue as people make a fuss about it.

It's irrelevant to talk about anything else while substantial parts of the the American voting eligible public do not vote, and no one is responsible for investigating why and ensuring that it was a personal decision and not a problem of lack of access, time or intimidation. You can't run a democracy when the one defining characteristic of a democracy is handled so flippantly.

As for C++, memory is not the only resource you can leak. When you leak, then you leak objects with it, and they can hold on to other resources that you might want to clean deterministically.

Having said that nothing stops you from replacing the global allocation functions, so that deallocation is noop. But your program, and especially libraries should still match up malloc/free, new/delete and allocate/deallocate.

Also your default malloc probably does a bunch of bookkeeping that is eventually only used by free. Once you decide that you won't call free or use a noop free, then there are potentially better candidate implementations for malloc as well.
> Most hardware support H.265

But software support is lacking, especially in browsers. It's licensing scheme requires developers to pay for a licence to support it in their application, which means that no open source developer is going to get themselves burned on it. It's the singular reason that AV1 was developed.
I've long been wondering about plastic as well. Plastic wrapped food, plastic packaged food, drinks etc. A lot of these things are actually filled and sealed while warm and then heated in plastic, which means it leaks into the food. A sibling comment commented on all the hormones in dairy and other foods. I remember that there were even issues with the contraceptive pill in wastewater effects on aquatic life.

One thing I'd like to know is if the effect on east Asian societies is worse given how much more plastic they use than say European ones.

Somewhat unrelated but interesting is the focus on BPA. It is actually not proven that the other plastics are good, it just means we have data on BPA.

That's not really established by strong evidence. Most of it is cross sectional data without any clinically relevant endpoints. In other words, we have no idea if or how it affects any part of male fertility or testosterone production that humans actually care about. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7304337/

Anecdotally, if someone like John Carmack can drink 9 Diet Cokes per day without noticeable ill-effects over several decades, it's going to take strong evidence that he (and others like him) are major outliers in their resistance to BPA "damage" to convince people that a small amount of BPA in their foods and drinks is harmful enough to change their lifestyle and habits to avoid it.

You want to evaluate p in:

p = m n

If that is gonna overflow, p > SIZE_MAX.

Then it would be that (by substitution)

m n > SIZE_MAX

so

m > SIZE_MAX/n

except if n = 0. In the latter case, m can be as big as it wants--p will always evaluate to 0.

And (size_t)-1 is a silly way to write SIZE_MAX (but it saves you a dependency).

I setup zsh to work like my tcsh setup to give it a try and used it for a while. Yes the init files in zsh are a bit larger, but I noticed no speed difference at all. In the article it seems they are loading all kinds of things. So I would expect zsh would be slower.

Regarding packaging, growing up condiments were in glass. Good luck finding mayonnaise or ketchup in glass jars now. (I am able to find glass for my peanut butter and jelly fix — the peanut butter is some kind of natural stuff that you have to hand-mix though.)

While cereal is still in boxes, the lining/bag for the cereal was waxes paper (or waxed foil/paper if it was Super Sugar Crisp, emphasis mine).

I would love to see a branding campaign by some food conglomerate that introduced a line of glass (or wax paper) packaging for their products. I would absolutely pay a little more for that (although I wish it were the default again of course).
