> Traits that are not beneficial to the individual will die out

Not necessarily, examples from several species where males get eaten after mating would seem to counter that. In some the males try to escape if possible to mate again.

> the kind of group selection this process would require is implausible at best.

There can certainly be group theory optimums that are less beneficial for individuals but beneficial enough to the whole group that traits bad for an individual will persist. I’d say bees dying after stinging an intruder would be an example. Well or even the hive principle where only the queen reproduces.

Still I would agree that the mild variations of adhd traits can be beneficial to some individuals. At least enough to largely eliminate the traits despite being largely maladaptive in non-nomadic societies given that we’re not hive creatures. One example I’ve read was a paper that showed increased offspring in individuals with adhd traits in nomadic tribes in Africa, with decreased reproductive rates in adjacent non-nomadic tribes.

Our modern society is odd in that it’s not like either traditional society. ADHD traits can be very beneficial for individuals in technology careers requiring creativity while simultaneously being painful due to society being largely optimized for non-adhd neurotypes.
Presence or absence of stabilizing Earth system feedback on different time scale
People used to say this about gay men and women in tech in the 1990s, so, ya know. The more things change the more they stay the same.
Using language that includes a group isn't a cost that is born by those not in the group. Notably, many people not in the group may OK or even encouraging of the changes.

I'm not terribly pleased by extremely vague bureaucratic language. But the arguments that try to turn such into an actual harm or cost to those not in the group being protected here are engaging in language that's far more deceptively vague.
Associations between indoor relative humidity and global Covid-19 outcomes
I think GP was understood the joke as was continuing the parody... Buy with all the people having conniptions about "litter boxes in schools" it's honestly hard to tell.
sorta like the original calculus thesis.
I think it’s reasonable to say these risks were not adequately communicated to the public.
Just another wage-slave burnt out programmer casting off the yolk of bondage.
Fair point. From my experience people often think ipfs works equal to sth like a shared drive or filecoin, so I had to point that out.
This won't likely help after the fact but I would suggest separating artwork and game development discussion into their own Discord servers and then move all business partners and certainly financial information discussion with employees into private self-hosted servers so that one has control over the server, chat filters, IP/domain blocks and even approved/denied web links. It's not perfect and some may not be happy about having to register on a second site friction and all but it sounds like in this case it would have helped. Leave cloaking disabled on the business server so you can see where people are connecting from ahead of time and password protect sensitive channels.

Additionally IRC server filters can be updated daily with the most prevalent scam domains using the same sources as uBlock and a few other git mirrors on github. One could even block all text that appears to be any kind of URL and instead require them to get on voice chat to verify themselves. uMurmur is a tiny daemon that is very easy and quick to set up and one can also password protect channels on uMurmur. There is an android client for uMurmur called Mumla.

Take a look at Ngircd [1] and TheLounge [2] as a quick way to set up a private secure chat server with chat persistence in less than 20 minutes. uMurmur [3] takes even less time to set up. All three daemons are available in sever Linux distribution repositories and have example configurations. For a more advanced form of chat filtering a good but more complex setup would be UnrealIRCD [4] as an alternative to Ngircd but the UnrealIRCD setup requires a bit more reading and understanding of how IRC works.

Even if one did not want to manage a tiny IRCD instance, then at least one could shut down the server nuclear option if something odd is going on as a desired way to control blast radius per the comments in the Youtube video. I say Tiny but most IRC daemons can handle 10K-20K people using IRC clients or several thousand using the web client. TheLounge can eat some ram if one allows for long chat retention.

> Only women give birth

Right, so, by your definition, most women over 50, and women incapable of having a child, are actually men?

Or just perhaps there is a more complicated nuance here…
It's done all the time in JavaScript. Why not in Java?
Thanks! I fixed my implementation and referenced it in the blog.
It's true that binary concepts of gender are gross oversimplifications. But that's just as true of binary gender defined by identity as it is of binary gender defined by sex. My take it that we ought to be ought be consistent and allow either both or neither.
A86 is a great minimalist assembler for 16-bit code. In the humble words of its author:

"A86 (with its 32-bit version A386) is the finest assembler available, at any cost under any terms, for the Intel 86-family of microprocessors (IBM-PC, compatibles, and not-so-compatibles)."

Actually, come to think of it, I'm not sure if a86.exe is a 16-bit binary or 32, so it might not run on modern Windows.
It's not quite as simple as arguing definitions. My argument is that the categories "man" and "woman" really exist, independent of language, and that they don't have anything to do with identity.

Some people (you, apparently) agree with that and just want to shift the definitions so "man" means "someone who identifies as a man" and will be replaced by "biological man". But other people don't agree, they don't believe that "man" and "woman" are immanent categories that exist outside language and culture.

As far as language changing, it certainly does, but it rarely changes by fiat. I don't believe changes referenced in this article represent organic change, I think they're a fad that will only catch on in a few enclaves. We'll see.
The biggest thing is that in IPFS each chunk has a CID, and that CID is globally unique and sharable from other CIDs.

You can think of each CID as a mangent link, and each CID can point to more CIDs.

Where as in a torrent the peer tracking is done at the whole torrent level, instead of the chunks inside the torrent.

Torrent V2[0], which has poor adoption thus far, should also allow for a similar ability. To my knowledge this is not being taken advantage of yet.

UK Software Engineers Working Remotely (For US Companies)
I've been contracting as a JS developer for about 10 years. Day rates are great but I'm intrigued by the prospect of going after permie, remote work for a US company.

Salaries seem to be high enough to make it even more lucrative than contracting but I'm a bit overwhelmed by where to start with it all having no idea about applying for this kind of work.

Most of my contracts come through recruitment agents I connect with on LinkedIn these days and the Jobs section is full of SE roles in North American paying well above $200K but I'm not sure how many of them are open to working with devs outside of the USA/Canada.

A lot of the remote work that I've been able to find that does cater to UK devs isn't quite as appealing offering salaries that are more in-line with what I'd expect from a UK tech company.

Do any of you know anyone who is operating in this sphere?

We are entropy incarnate. Not the most effective vector the universe has managed to come up with by far, but perhaps, given enough time, we might be able help move things along just a tiny bit faster.
This argument is applicable to all digital things, but for some reason it is usually only applied to books. It seems that a lot of software being free would be much more beneficial than free access to Harry Potter. I wonder if that would be as popular or, if for one reason or another, people are okay with just having voluntarily free software being free.
I use an electric kettle to boil water. I got it a while back from Costco. I find it to be faster than our earlier method - using the microwave to boil water.
>The purpose of language is to communicate clearly, not to make you feel included.

My brother was mentally ill his whole life; she is trans now. I showed her this comment and we both agreed.

It’s a good way to put it. We can try and do both, but clearly has to come before feelings.
Almost expected a byline of "Thanos".
That doesn't mean that those other considerations are stronger than the hormonal differences due to sex. The sex differences for testosterone are large.

> That's an empathy thing.

You're welcome to empathize with my inability to believe that someone can be in the wrong body.
I think you might be misunderstanding the way language is evolving here.

Woman who can't give birth are still women. Women who cannot menstruate are still women. We are not removing anyone from the set of women.

What we are saying is that, in addition to women there are also people who do not recognize themselves as women, but who can give birth or menstruate.

So, we could say "women, men, and other gendered people who give birth..." or "birthing women, men, and other gendered people".

But that's a mouthful. All genders are people, so we choose "people who give birth" since it includes women AND people who are not women.

So yes, it's inclusive because it's including women and not women, rather than only women.
Umm..... software weather modeling systems map equations that may change daily completely due to modeling / assumptions change.
Some even subscribe to the belief that water is wet.
People with physical disabilities are a massive % of the population, and could potentially include any person at some point of their lives.

Being a trans birth giver is infinitesimally less common.
> Been using Go since the early days, and 'make/append' always felt clunky and out of place. Especially when you could just use literals for a map/slice...

Most people do use the literals for creating the empty map/slice. "make" is mostly useful when specifying a known length or capacity, which saves unnecessary allocations and improves performance.
Sounds like a graphics driver bug, as if it was reusing some GPU textures in both applications.
Interesting, I was aware of that newtype wrapper pattern, but I did not realize that methods weren't automatically forwarded to the wrapped type. This isn't the design I'd personally choose, but it does seem more consistent with what I know of Go's philosophy now that I understand this.
Thanks for your feedback. I agree on most of your points.

I feel like Cypress moving into the component testing arena was an interesting move.
Good point. My experience with moving to and from South America to the US is that it has been doable, but always with the feeling of "will the money get stuck somewhere this time" (and I never tried anything near this amount).

My concern in this specific situation was greater around moving money from crypto -> bank, vs. bank -> bank. My general sense is that once the money is inside of the traditional banking system, it's less likely to face issues.

But coming to the bank with a wad of cash (or crypto), in my view, could trigger all kinds of issues (in theory at least).
> A few paragraphs up, weren't they saying it was a bad thing that different rules apply to different people? Now they're saying it's a bad thing if the same rules apply to everyone?

Or they're saying that the rules themselves are problematic, and more sophistication is needed than just "this word is not allowed."

That is exactly how bittorrent works as well tho. Bittorrent hasn't needed any trackers for public torrents since 2005 and can work solely off magnet links using the DHT network. Just like how IPFS does it.
Big drawback of devbox is that you cannot pin packages to specific SHA, which is quite a big limitation when it comes to versitality. I think you can do that on devenv.sh.
I found "chestfeeding" to be pretty confusing. If you put me on the spot I'd assume it was a reference to the movie Alien before I guessed it referred to milking mammaries.

I can also see how being called a menstrator would feel objectifying (kinda like how in some contexts calling someone a breeder or a bleeder is derogatory)
The release pipeline broke because you didn't lock your dependencies.

Can you use calc in modern browsers these days without transpilers?
yeah aside from all that basically every community has regulations regarding disturbing the peace and needing approval for rallies etc. so anybody that got up on a soapbox in the middle of the park and started yelling slurs would probably be hauled away pretty quick.
As I said, you paid per minute long distance charges to call another area code. A 555 number would not be long distance. Therefore they charged up front.
That used to be the case but JavaScript has BigIntegers now.
I wish I could downvote you. Your comment is unsubstantiated nonsense.
It's the inconsistency that gets me. If we have to say "people who menstruate" and "people with uteruses" for physical sex characteristics because "women" isn't precise enough, then shouldn't we also say "people who feel like women", "people who conform to feminine social norms" etc rather than "women" for the social aspects of gender. They aren't binary either, so "women" is no more accurate.
That's basically the same as torrents with magnet links.

As other commenters pointed out, the biggest real difference is that IPFS objects can cross-reference each other by hash, which allows you to do partial updates.
I think concerns about single-sex spaces are very understandable. It's a sensitive topic and should be handled as such. But with the language on a pregnancy website I think we could accommodate everyone. In the root comment I suggested different materials for cis women and trans men.
Looks good thanks
Not at birth. They might have one added later on?
Note that the benefits of using the new language and terms are also greatly exaggerated. Only the most fragile of people are going to commit suicide because of talk of "women" in pregnancy resources. And frankly with that level of fragility they probably weren't long for this world anyway.
Has Russia been defeated, though?

They may not have fulfilled all their main goals to a 100%. However, they seem to be still occupying large amounts of territory that belonged to the Ukrainian government, including most of the Dombas and the water sources of Crimea.
It always struck me as a bit ironic that such an opinionated language could utterly fail to have "one right way" to package things. As much as Rust's aversion to binaries can be a pain, building and packaging (even cross building) is generally painless.
I think Musk is being referenced here.
This kind of “reality shock” will probably occur more and more often in the future, as knowledge about how the universe works becomes more established and widespread. Until the other galaxies recede behind the cosmological horizon, I guess, and important parts of that knowledge become more of a myth.
Frustrations Grow over Company’s Response to CPAP Recalls
Imo google and amazon have more of a moat than Apple. While I don't think it's easy to replicate Apples marketing and design I think its more likely that consumer preferences will change than a company being able to replicate search , cloud or amazon scale retail. It just requires less money to start a new electronics company than any of thoae
Looks nice. How do you present the content for users to read? Do you use a terminal based HTML browser, or convert the content to plain text and present the plain text?

That's quite literally how bittorrent with DHT works. To download a public torrent you only need its content hash, the metadata and peers are then fetched via DHT assuming at least one reachable DHT node is aware of the torrent.
I worked for a while at a consultancy supporting genomics through LIMS (lab info management software) customization, so not really genomics, but in the genomics biz (big genomics companies were our clients). For me, it was the least interesting software work I have done in my 20 year coding career. On the other hand, for people who just wanted a steady pay cheque and to go home at 5pm, it was a good gig. But man, software that moves samples and test tubes and their data around, it could be cars in a parking lot for all that the science makes it interesting.

We had bad attrition to both more interesting and higher paying work. (I left for both after a year at the consultancy)

>If other people use "woman" to mean something different and more ephemeral

I have not considered it on the context of time/ephemeral. I usually think of it as mutable, but your word choice brings up a point about stages of life I think is worth considering.
Ummm... messy python/R sounds lot better than messy numerical analysis in fortran with NO programming standards because has been used/modified for over 50+ years.

Mainly because can find / write software to analyze & reorganize modern structured languages such as python & R into something recongnized in programming field as appropriate approach/structure.
It's definitely an odd emission since the original research project used such a calculation. Metaculus, which uses a similar technique provides such a confidence interval, along with a nice history graph.

As some wild speculation, I suspect that since the GJP only employs a handful of Superforcasters, the initial confidence intervals for these broad questions may be quite large. That's to be expected when predicting a year in advance, but publically admitting to have such a broad confidence interval is probably not very good for marketing.

Right, I mean more that it’s not actively trying to keep people on-site by eg hosting the content, it’s a jumping off point to the rest of the decentralized internet. But it’s not a federated service, its hosting is centralized. Two different aspects of centralization.
> Note: The linux manpages cover the syscall interface of the linux kernel, not the glibc implementation.

They cover both, but they focus more on the glibc wrappers. For instance, the manpage for stat(2) we're talking about says "On success, zero is returned. On error, -1 is returned, and errno is set to indicate the error.", which is not the syscall interface return value (the syscall does not know about errno, it returns the negative of what will end up in errno instead of -1). Another example is the manpage for exit(2), about the _exit() function (the exit() function, without the underscore, is at exit(3) since it's not a system call), which says "In glibc up to version 2.3, the _exit() wrapper function invoked the kernel system call of the same name. Since glibc 2.3, the wrapper function invokes exit_group(2), in order to terminate of the threads in a process."
I created http://tetration.org which explores what lies beyond exponentiation. My life's work has been to extend the Ackermann function to the complex numbers and matrices. I believe my website lead to a renaissance in tetration research.
The following Mathematica code replaces a thousand lines of earlier code. It computes the flows from maps. Combined with the historic three argument Ackermann function it allows the Ackermann function to the extended to the complex numbers.

H[0]=0;

H[1]=f'[0]^t ;

I had exactly same problem. I was not making any progress and instead of that I was repeating "broken" badges. The moment when you got too many broken badges, it is just endless chore and you can't move forward.

So I actually welcome the change as I can move forward, while repeat via "Practice to earn hearts"
I learned it at L'Abri something similar, but with a solid foundation for the wisdom and love definition.

With a fixed cornerstone, one can develop a solid world view and moral compass.
I am deeply uncomfortable in gendered spaces. Many places offer gender neutral spaces (eg restrooms that are all genders).

I don't require everyone to make me comfortable, but I do positively notice when someone does. If I go to my office and there are men's rooms, women's rooms, and all gender rooms, I do feel much less excluded.

Not everyone is like me, but thousands or millions are. I do feel excluded by gendered language, and it does impact my ability to get work done, navigate social situations, etc.
> For example, we can probably agree that Bruce Willis is manlier than PeeWee Herman.

So now we're policing people's gender based on their habits? "If you wear pants you're not a REAL woman"?
Sometimes there are ways to be inclusive without undertaking a cost... E.g. talk about "health issues that arise during pregnancy".

But those zero or low cost mechanisms don't achieve the advocacy goals that some are chasing. For advocacy purposes it needs to be visible, not silently accommodating.

And then you end up with the crude, objectifying and biologically reductive alternatives to "women" like calling them "menstruators" or "breeders".

One doesn't need to abandon politely accommodating to reject being made a tool of someone's disruptive advocacy.
The costs are small but so are the benefits.
Being an extensive ingress player, i'm quite surprised at this considering this should have been ingress code to begin with. Did pogo not share much code with ingress, just the dataset?
> 99% of the universe is hydrogen or helium.

And the field where that prominence matters, astrophysics, refers to anything that isn't hydrogen or helium as a "metal". Definitions are fluid. Insisting that everyone tediously say "people who may possibly become pregnant" rather than the simple "women" (with the more precise existentially quantified, more and less inclusive intent being clear from context) is itself extremely intolerant.
I enrolled with the Good Judgement project for awhile. Most of these super high-level assessments are useless, and may even be put out as a bit of disinformation. What they really get is a lot of text from the participants which is essentially free amalgamation of OSINT that they turn over to the sponsors.
That's actually a really good question about the nature of progress.
