A really good book I read was "Bridges out of Poverty", aimed at social workers etc, but very informative to the lay reader. One of the several things I learned: If a poor person 'comes in' to some money, they are likely to give a decent portion away, because other people know about it and hit them up ("I need glasses and you just got some money"), and in order to be helped themselves by their community when they are in need down the road, they need to be responsive when they have 'extra'.

A poverty mentality is about 'today'. Food, rent, clothes. So education and planning for the future get pushed down in the stack of what's important.

Also had interesting stuff about humor among the impoverished, the middle class and the rich.

A personal observation: The poor in my community don't know how to 'work' the system. There are free (used) computers available to school kids, but the parents don't make use of them. Super-low cost internet access is available, but I saw one family succumb to an 'up-sell' to TV and Cable access, which they couldn't afford (oh yeah, installation cost too, we didn't remember to tell you about that) and in the end, default on the payment, which disqualified them from the low-cost program for a year. Living with three families/12 people in a two bedroom apartment means the child qualifies for benefits for the homeless, but no-one knows, the benefits don't get used.

These are typical in pre-capped wires. While they allow more flexibility of the wire, their ends are hard (if not impossible) to change.
How frequent are crashes though? I would think, more often the user could just accidentally pull the power plug without a proper shutdown.

If you steal $10 from a local shop (sorry, $1000 in California now) you'll be in jail before the end of the week. Steal $1,000,000,000 eight times over and you.. get to speak at a NYT conference?

I don't know, I just want some consistency from the justice system. That's not too much to ask for, or expect, really.

Really cool idea, but I would second a shorter and sequential way of ID'ing bugs. Its common in QA flows to use the JIRA-like shorthand to discuss/assign tickets. <Proj alias>-<sequential num>. Proj-alias is usually like 3 letters/nums (project configurable). So like SEC-3640, QWE-123, etc. Human-readable/discussable bug ID is gonna be something desired. Hash could stay as an alternate for those with deeper GIT knowledge, but its gonna get verbose to discuss a ticket.
If you do too much work at once on the main thread, the application will visibly freeze.

Say you need to call a few rest apis that trigger changes to the DOM. If the user is actively interacting with your application, doing an operation like this, say every 5 seconds, could cause momentary lag that feels bad. What if you could wait to do the update until the main thread is free?
The tweet this is based on is a joke. To invert a Merkle tree would mean to invert cause and effect. I’m pretty sure the tweet author is implying they want you to find a hash key collision for each node. Hope you have a couple spare universes in your pockets because this is gonna take a while.
I'm not talking about a discreet modification of the blockchain. When you bootstrap a bitcoin client, you need to be use that the blockchain is the real one without having to trust another party, otherwise someone could give you a completely different version. By incorporating proof of work, you can prove that the copy of the blockchain you have needed X amount of energy to create. This is what I sort of agree with you that immutability is not the right technical word for this property, but that is what I was getting at.

I wonder how much of this is actually due to employees leaving/being fired and how much is just due to increased regulatory interest due to Twitter having new owners? As we've seen a lot of the content issues are due to organizations attempting to get twitter in trouble since Elon is perceived to be "anti-establishment" by many https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1595630109116989440, and GDPR has a reputation for not being enforced equally. One has to wonder whether things have actually changed or if they're just getting regulated differently now

I'm very interested in this federated renaissance happening, but having trouble understanding how all the pieces fit together. Is there a good overview I can read? I think ActivityPub is the (a?) protocol, and Mastodon is one particular implementation of it, just like the software linked here? Are there other relevant or competing protocols? How does Matrix fit in exactly? What about identity? Is OpenID a part of all this somehow?
Emacs really isn’t allowed for the same reason TeX isn’t, everything needs to run from one binary. The single binary requirement of the App Store is surprisingly limiting.

If you have the time/effort (which I appreciate you may well not -- there's a limit to how much it feels worth trying to tilt against megacorp windmills) it would be better to return them to Amazon, because otherwise it looks to Amazon like a successful purchase. Amazon do at least make returns less hassle than some other e-commerce places I've used.
Well, the guy sold his company for $800M. It's pocket change to him.
> The point is that that's extremely inefficient.

We're talking about garbage collection though, this will always be inefficient, doesn't matter much on which side of the fence it is implemented. At best you can save some WASM download size by piggybacking on the Javascript engine's garbage collector (that's essentially what the WASM GC proposal is about).
> Now Amazon is nothing more than AliExpress with faster shipping. Shame.

On Alibaba, you get business background info, whether it's a manufacturer or a reseller, a picture of the factory, info about whether someone checked out the factory, what certifications the product has, and how long it takes them to respond to inquiries. Amazon doesn't have any of that.

On Alibaba, search for "outlet strip". You can check "Verified supplier", "trade assurance" and "UL certified" to filter out the junk. Some good low-priced outlet strips show up. Amazon doesn't have any of that.

Alibaba is supposed to be B2B, but many items have a minimum order size of 1 or 2. If Alibaba had a "who retails this" link for products sold only in large quantities, they'd be more useful than Amazon. Often you can look on Aliexpress for the matching item.
Most scientists only want something flashy within the confines of the "cookbook" they've already learned on how to do studies. NIH grant applications are formulaic as hell.

Moreover, many labs organize around a methodology like fMRI rather than around any particular type of question. Imagine planning a multi-decade future career around a single tool that exists today and then pretending you truly care about novelty.

You're spot on that people care deeply about academic status. But what is valued in gaining that status has become deeply broken. The fastest way to status is to put out multiple overhyped individual publications that meet the minimum viable novelty threshold for inclusion in a good journal. Half of the battle is a marketing game.

Increased rigor is a time and money commitment that many aren't willing to make, but true novelty is a much bigger risk and a good way to kill a career for anyone not yet tenured.
What you are describing is exactly within git-bug's scope, and really not that far away! I'd love to make that happen, but unfortunately I have a demanding day job and rely on contributor's help.

As far as I understood the epigenetic age this refers to are a bunch of DNA methylation tests. All the other tests are in addition to this.
The original UNIX swap was literally just that. The entire process was written out to disk, and an entire process read back in. The early machines didn't have enough RAM for more than one process and the kernel at the same time, anyway. A simple pair of relocation offset + limit registers suffice to enable memory protection, assuming privileged instructions trap. Paging is not required, though it certainly makes it all much more efficient.

Swapping to a file is non-trivial; many of the kernel structures and resources relating to files and userspace disk access are dynamically allocated; it's tricky to ensure you don't enter some low memory trap of death with not enough pages free to read in or out from the file system, and the only means to free them being through the file system. It's an edge concern even today you might run into if you try to swap to a FUSE filesystem.
But Amazon commingles inventory, so how do you know you are receiving the branded item you want and not a counterfeit item that another seller sent to Amazon?

There is a massive and extremely wide variety of things that occur that people either do not know of, or have an incorrect understanding of (which they do not realize).

I wonder if holding conversations haphazardly across various social media platforms with essentially zero coordination or teaching/enforcement of skilful thinking and speech is an optimal way to run a planet. I've never encountered it in a corporation (at least not to the same degree), which suggests that it is not optimal.

Oh well, I guess we will never know!
I tried swapping that for SQLite and successfully ran the test suite about a week ago, but I've not tried that again against the large number of more recent changes.
They aren't like any other citizen, because they use a really, really huge amount of energy. If they did use as little energy as any other citizen, there wouldn't be a problem.
If anything, you'd have to compare them to huge companies or something. And those are still significantly different to (and usually more useful to society) cryptominers.
Human diets have been like that for as long as I remember. The whole cholesterol hysteria of the 90s? converted me to just not consider that science to be settled for decades. Eating a lot of veggies seems to have held up so far

It's the same problem on German Amazon too.

Where I live (a summerhouse in a small county seat in mountains) - Walmart, Bestbuy, Homedepot and others ship faster and usually for free even for small orders.

Walmart also provides all-paper packaging (they seem to have worked hard on developing it) - so you can burn / recycle packaging without say peeling off stuck plastic tape first.

> a light bulb, with a specific lumen and color temperature spec

Sponsored links are always useless and should only be scrolled past on Amazon.

Typical disappointing Amazon experience:

Search for LED 8W. First result, sponsored link to an 11W bulb. Then a sponsored link to a fake marketing 21 watt bulb with fake lumen marketing. Then a sponsored link to six pack of 14W bulbs. The 4th link returned is a sponsored link to a 8W designer clear glass thing which is at least not off topic.

Not all searches are as toxic as LEDs. If you search for "oil 5w-30" only 10% or so of search results are totally wrong (like 10w-30, or 5w-40)

Another hilarious search term "chocolate almond milk" most of the results are bulk almonds, some milk-product made of bananas, several oat milk results, chocolate almondmilk pudding (OK, close enough, but weird), protein bars made of almonds, some soy shake drink, starbucks frappuccino vanilla, pea-protein fake milk, admittedly at least 1/3 of results are on topic.

I just searched for "4-40 SHCS" (a SHCS is a socket head cap screw, like to fix a car part). About 2/3 of the results are on topic, but then Amazon throws in "D'Moksha Small Short Thanksgiving Holiday Navy Table Runner Or Dresser Scarf (14 x 36 Inch)", what? Some of it is just bizarre. I specified 4-40 size so I get a search result for 5/8-11 machine bolts. OK then.

Its getting hard to buy stuff on Amazon, like they're actively trying not to sell what you ask for.

I do EE type stuff at work and home and I am spoiled by professional sites like Digikey, if you search for a 1K resistor they present you with a parametric search result of 1K resistors, not random assortments of 74HCT logic chips or teddy bears or rolls of solder like Amazon would.
I read through the article — the level of incomprehension here is … astounding.

The primary set of objections appears to be centered around how Bitcoin can’t operate at the scale of monetary systems (tens of thousands of transactions per second). Secondarily, that crypto assets aren’t backed by anything (aren’t a claim on other wealth).

Both valid constraints.

But these aren’t the reasons that crypto assets, Bitcoin and DeFi are interesting!

If he’d come out with some superior theoretical foundation for trust-free Byzantine fault tolerant distributed ledger technology obsoleting the current state of the art, maybe this would be interesting. But it doesn’t appear he even understands why this invention is interesting…. Or, maybe if he argued that total-order consensus isn’t required to maintain consistency in distributed state machines and hence PoW is unnecessary, it might be useful commentary — but nope…

Nothing new here. Move along.
Imo. this would actually be a great target of public funding. A large international research organization with the the sole purpose of replicating, validating and criticising existing research.

As you correctly point out, the skillset is slightly different to doing novel research, the attitude is different as well, so it would make sense to pool talent. Since there is no money to be made directly with it, governments should step in. And to avoid the problem of journals not wanting to publish replications, the institute would have to be well funded enough to self-pubpish with prestige.
They weren't actually arguing that people over 65 shouldn't be able to vote. They were saying that people over 65 _do_ vote (in this case, despite claiming they are throwing in the towel on caring about the world around them) and we actually have to care if their brains turn to mush on reality TV and conspiracy videos.

True, though that's because Apple basically bought NeXT, it's IP, OS, top executives and Jobs had learned alot about the mistakes he'd made. Also he was singularly driven and charismatic (like him or not).

Basically it's as if Intel bought AMD and switched, but AMD had some visionary CEO that could lead Intel to victory.

The days of Moore are over. Still I used to hate Intel, but now root for them. I guess I like underdogs.

Many people complain about how good individual producers, but few talk about effective front-line managers being moved to where they are less effective. In organizations it's often assumed that the best managers need to be near the top of the org chart to spread their effectiveness as far as possible, but I contend that these great managers might be better off near producers in critical areas.
Copyrights say you cannot reproduce, distribute, etc a work without consent from the author, whatever the mean. The copy doesn't need to be exact, only sufficiently close.

However, copyright doesn't prevent someone to look at the work and study it. Even study it by heart. Infringement comes only if that someone would make a reproduction of that work. Also, there are provision for fair use, etc.

Okay this I find a bit absurd:

>Fitness Scores (ref: ACSM)
Scoring equal t to top 10% of 18 year olds in the following:
Bench press single rep max, 235lbs

Why are you comparing your max lifts against an 18 year old? Since when are they the ones lifting the most? This doesn't seem to indicate anything at all

It usually takes years of training to get to big weights and most 18 year olds don't lift at all so that "top 10%" statement is meaningless
