They way they are using it is providing less information than a UID cookie would, but the same amount of information as a boolean "previously visited" cookie. However, now that the technique is known there is nothing stopping people from using the same method to store a UID date, and privacy protecting clients will have difficulty differentiating between the two, so best to eliminate this as a fingerprinting method altogether.

There's three general categories of unsolicited changes one might make:

1. The PR is a bug fix or feature that's critical for you, but you don't actually need upstream to merge it to use the fix yourself.

2. The PR is something quick and easy to do and if it doesn't get merged that's just no big deal.

3. The PR is a large amount of work that's entirely wasted if it doesn't get merged.

For the first two, I see no reason to ask first. The third you generally should.

Elaborate on how and why exactly you think they should be afraid.

Should they be afraid for their physical safety because you want violence against them to not be punishable (or the state to have to enact such violence by law)?

Should they be afraid for their freedom because you want hate speech laws instituted that would land them in jail?

Nobody is afraid to voice their opinion because of the disapproval of leftists and "liberals" so it should be one of the 2 above or something similar.

I am here for safe and supervised middle school duels. It would have helped me a lot.

I went to a strict religious school and a kid who bullied me over years pushed me too far one day and I started after him, got maybe one kick to his leg in. Teachers stopped me immediately, but never did the same for the years of verbal abuse mocking me for my weight though. I ended up getting spanked by the principal with a thick wooden paddle in front of my teacher that day. This was the mid to late 90s. I heard once the kid who bullied me is in prison now.

This comment will probably get buried, but I'm putting it here anyway.

I've always been fat. My entire life. I joke that when I was born, my mother gave birth to a toddler. I've never known what it's like to be skinny, thin, fit, or whatever word you want to use. I wish I did, though.

I'm sick of being told how to be healthy by people who have never been fat. Or, even worse, people who have been fit when younger, then put on weight for a few years only to go back to being fit. They have the delusion that their experience is possible for everyone and therefore the fat person is just lazy or lacks self control, and therefore make a moral judgement about the fatso. I cannot stand that type of person.

All of the "Just do this..." quips don't help.

"Just cut back on the alcohol." I have never drank in my life. Ever.

"Just cut back on the sugary drinks." I cut out sodas 3 years ago. I'm heavier now than I was 3 years ago. Since then, I only drink water at restaurants, and I only drink water or 0 calorie flavored water at home. No exceptions.

"Just exercise and you'll feel better." I have never felt good exercising. Never. Exercising makes me miserable. I don't mean just while I'm exercising, but I mean that I feel incessantly exhausted during the times in my life when I did exercise regularly. In my 20's I did Tae Kwon Do consistently for several years. I jogged. I rode my bike. I was consistently miserable. And I was still fat.

"Stop eating out." I did that with my switch to keto (mentioned below). Not a huge change. It's more expensive to cook "good" food than to eat the McDonald's dollar menu, but I guess I make more $$$ now than I did when I was a poor student.

"It's just calories in and calories out." Yeah, and programming is just ones and zeroes. It's not technically wrong, and yet it's obvious that the person doesn't know what they're talking about beyond this rudimentary quip. They don't understand how the gut microbiome can make absorption of nutrients/calories more efficient, or genetic predisposition and the relative strength of those predispositions, or any other nuance. It's like talking to a racist or woke person; neither one sees how their naive and myopic understanding of the world doesn't actually match reality, but they are proud to spout their nonsense and then judge you for not meeting their standard.

My blood sugar has never been caught "high" so I had never worried about it much, but in an annual insurance checkup, my A1C was 10.6. That's bad. The insurance person tried to make me go to the ER right at that moment. They were REALLY pushy. I thought that they were overreacting. They were not happy that I didn't panic or react in the same way that they were acting. I didn't go to a doctor. I switched to a keto diet. It's been 4 months, and I've only lost 20 lbs. My A1C is down to 6, though, when I checked it a few days ago. No meds.

I want to exercise, but I absolutely hate my life when I do it. I have a bad knee, so it's often painful to exercise. Exercise makes me feel bad in general.

I'm currently 6'0" and 269lbs. The only time I guess that I'll actually be skinny is about 10 years after I'm dead.

There are a lot of different types of ADHD medication that work differently for different people. If stimulant medication overall is a no-go for you, but you still have the hallmark symptoms of ADHD, I would suggest asking your psychiatrist about a medication called Strattera.
Our target audience are data engineers and scientists who are stitching together business apps like CRMs/email marketing tools etc, and building proprietary automations and analytics in between them like generating a customer health score and actioning on it.

It has been painstakingly designed not to be a security problem, and I would really recommend becoming familiar with the APIs in question.

My Fields prize worthy math...

salary increase on average by 30,000$ to 10,000 employees = 300 million

vs

hiring new employees to backfill that left with higher salary 30,000$ * 1000 = 30 million + cost of replacement 70000$*1000 = 70 million. total 100 million.

200 million difference is not a small change, that can be given as a bonus to executives.
Extrapolating from a trend that has held in the West for a double-digit number of years to the entirety of the future of humanity is probably an extreme form of availability bias.

Wouldn't it be nice if you saw a job ad that said "Hey, we're 'Decent Employer' Level 1 Certified!" and you knew that meant: 95% of work weeks are under 45 hours; everyone gets at least 3 weeks vacation per year; Our hiring practices conform to standards to avoid age/gender/race/class biases; etc.

Not like its tracking you across domains and services, more a counter for how many people have visited, and either stayed and looked around, or left.
The CMA found that music prices have fallen by 20% as a result of competition. While it did find that major artists got the most money, that seemed to be as a result of 60% of streams coming from the top 0.4% of artists. The CMA found no evidence of excess profits. And average royalty rates have risen for artists from 19.7% in 2012 to 23.3% in 2021 and for writers from 8% ion 2008 to 15% in 2021.

I have a shortcut, which reloads all modified files, then re-evaluates the previously evaluated expression, within the context of the same namespace it was evaluated in previously.

This way I can be in any file, modify any `def` of `defn` and see its effect on the expression I'm working on.

After modified something, I might jump to its unit test or jump to some definition of some adjacent vars, where i see a point which I want to probe (with a function like this: `(defn ? [x] (pprint x) x)`).

Then I have 2 modified files, and my cursor is in a 3rd file and the expression I'm iterating on is in a 4th; doesn't matter, I can just keep hitting the same shortcut (Cmd-Ctrl-Enter) to see the effects of my changes on the "expression-under-test".

It's an extremely convenient workflow, which is also easy to teach to ppl!

Downside is that you can't have namespaces, which have side-effects WHEN they are loaded.

To deal with that problem, I'm using `redelay`, `rmap`, `meta-merge` & `defonce`, eg:

(ns service
(:require
[meta-merge.core :refer [meta-merge]]
[gini.rmap :as rmap :refer [rmap ref] :rename {ref $}]
[redelay.core :as redelay])

(def kit
(merge {:cfg {:db/uri "..."}}
(rmap {:db (connect (:db/uri ($ :cfg)))})))

(defonce service-ref
(redelay/state
:start (rmap/valuate!
(meta-merge service/kit
{:cfg {:param 'override}
:some 'special-component}))))

(defn service [] (deref service-ref))

(comment
(.close service-ref)
(-> (service) (some-operation x y z))
)

Unlike cookies where we can store whatever we like, this method reveal only the unique visit, and its derivatives.

>I subscribed the Guardian for one year just to avoid that it goes down (I could read it for free at work), and of course it is excellent, but it has a tacit pro-UK bias that brits (esp. leftists) wouldn't even notice. On the other hand they have excellent reporting and do not refrain from the most challenging topics...

Funnily enough reading this thread [I don't read The Economist, BTW] I found myself thinking along similar lines as the OP re The Guardian [or the 'Grauniad' as it will forever be known by Private Eye[0] readers of a certain age].

When I originally used to read The 'Graun' back in the 80s 90s, it was a crusading paper which did cover 'challenging topics' --such as Britain's role in Northern Ireland, US bases in Europe, Britain's membership of NATO, nuclear disarmament, class struggle, etc. etc. ie. proper socialist politics.

Now, whenever I look at their website all I see are endless articles about racism, hompophobia, transgenderism... whether what X said on Twitter was racist... whether Y's opinion on sport is transgenderist etc. etc. Issues which the current crop of Guardian journalists probably think are terrifically 'crusading' and 'challenging' but which are just pushing at the same open door as every other 'right on' publication and website around and which I find tedious beyond measure. Virtue signalling trivia masquerading as crusading journalism.

How would you define abstraction then?
men never needed this. The things you describe are luxuries that a man can do without. Men would like to have this but this is not something needed.

In the past women, NEEDED men to survive. For women it was a choice about survival. It was always men who went out to hunt for food, farm for food, make the money and build the house. All the technology, all the machinery, all the science you see around you today, most of it was built, designed and envisioned by men.

In general human civilization and societies functioned in a way where men and women worked together but make no doubt about it. For the majority of human history (99%) men did built and maintained the infrastructure for survival. Men worked in partnership with women for betterment and higher productivity; women however worked with men because they needed to survive. A woman without a man in the past had few options to support herself.

This is no longer the case, so we'll see how it plays out, but modern society is at odds with the biology millions of years of evolution has designed us for. Likely there will be a culling. A natural selection process where a huge portion of the genetic pool will fail to reproduce.

To be frank I think a lot of men will just end up being lonely and single until they're dead. Polygamy will become more and more normalized and women will have a lot more power over society and societal norms in general.

>What if we treat them as evolving systems.

Professor Sussman mentions this in this talk: https://youtu.be/HB5TrK7A4pI
Unless you have mouths to feed, or someone who needs money for medical issues, who cares if you lose a dependable income? Why make decisions based in fear? Fear that you won’t be able to survive, that you won’t be able to make it. Have more confidence in yourself. You’ll adapt, and probably be even better off with the wisdom you’ve accumulated.
"serious" or not, death threats are hard to brush off.

Just because someone only engaged in one part of the internet bullying that is happening here and didn't send the threats themselves, doesn't excuse responsibility for them. Just helping foment the hostility makes you somewhat culpable for the inevitable death threats that come with that hostility.
Well, there was Cerebral, but their CEO blew the situation up for everyone and now we can't have nice things.
Right, as far as I can tell the term "semilator" was coined for this task, so google won't help.

The middle of the RCT pattern where all of the action happens, reads its first bit 2^N generations B.S (before singularity, or before splat, whichever you prefer). Next bit is 2^(N-1) B.S. Next would be 2^(N-2), but this is what the semilator changes.

During the franky enormous gap between 2^(N-1) and 2^(N-2) generations B.S, extra spaceships come in at an orthogonal direction. These have two possible configurations, giving equivalent results to either of the possible bit reads. This accelerates the speed of bit reading, and means that N of millions can be emulated by a pattern with N less than 30. Much less initial distance, much less time. The addition of millions of cells of spaceships doesn't make the overall pattern smaller in an informational sense, just in the scale of time and distance between its constituent parts.
> Many people are saying that they only look angry, and that they actually aren't angry. This may be 100% true, but the facial feedback hypothesis suggests

I used to know someone like that; even when she smiled, her eyes seemed to have a pained crinkle around the edges. She insisted that she felt fine, that it was just a trick of her facial features - but she tended to get aggravated by other people so easily that it was hard to believe her. I suspect that she was simply accustomed to a baseline feeling of irritation and didn't really notice its presence.

(Validating the facial-feedback hypothesis further, I knew someone else who got botox treatment for her forehead, so she could no longer scowl; this notably improved her mood.)
Thanks for acknowledging and supporting - mental illness is such a hidden "we don't talk about this" thing in society and people don't pay a lot of attention to it because they can't easily directly observe it in others.

Only recently I've been able to actually talk or mention my upbringing - I was always shamed and threatened never to tell anybody about what was going on or else "I'd rip the family apart". It's hard to fully realize the scale of the abuse until you metaphorically swim to the surface and stick your head out of the water to see the world around you with a different lens for the first time.

I've been using a combination of strategies to try and find my way out of the mess I was thrown into - I've been seeing a psychiatrist for CBT sessions every 2-3 weeks for almost 10 years and have found it helpful, along with attempting to make daily entries in a journal (the ADHD gets in the way sometimes heh).

I'll definitely look into IFS therapy as well. I did some cursory reading and it seems like that's something that would help me.
The average age of NASA engineers on Apollo 11 was 28 https://www.popularmechanics.com/space/a4288/4318625/
