You do see the difference between Fox and Twitter right? One is an open platform that is supposedly neutral and “follows the Science” and the other is media company that doesn’t pretend to be neutral.
> One project that extends Blitz is SciViz: a high-performance plotting toolkit for Rust and Python.

Is SciViz available somewhere yet?
Yes, we should. But before we do, people still have to make choices ("should I adopt this gender-equality policy or that one?", "should I teach kids these of those ideas about gender-equality?"), they aren't going to wait for science to catch up. And before we have a definitive answer, we admit we don't have it, and let people make their own bids in those choices. And also discuss choices, and also question them.

They have the game BeamNG.drive, and they also have something called BeamNG.tech

> BeamNG.tech is an academia- and industry-oriented fork of BeamNG.drive. In content and features, it largely overlaps with BeamNG.drive, and offers additional functionality to support driver training simulators and the development of advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS).

> […]

> BeamNG.tech is released under a mix of commercial and open-source licenses by BeamNG GmbH.

https://documentation.beamng.com/beamng_tech/

But it’s not clear from this page if they provide source code for the commercial parts of BeamNG.tech to customers or not. I guess you’d have to contact them and ask. Contact details are at the above linked page.
If cultures universally share a characteristic, that does not prove that the characteristic is a hard-wired drive. That thinking has been used to make several arguments.

Cultures all around the world have made pyramids, so pyramids must have a deep spiritual meaning that all humans are tuned into. Or all these cultures were working with heavy objects and gravity and they all independently discovered that a pyramid is the easiest large structure to build.

Seafaring cultures all around the world have myths about mermaids, so mermaids must be real. Or people spending lots of time at sea looking at sea-life are likely to start imagining them fusing with humans.

Cultures all around the world have sun gods, so a sun god must be real and we all sensed it. Or everyone around the world looked up at the sky and saw the same thing.

Cultures all around the world have gender stereotypes, so they must be hard-wired. Or women everywhere are getting pregnant while men aren't, so societies shaped themselves around that fact in similar ways.
There was no misplaced assumption.
IANAL but I think the license you buy from google play or apple or whatever is not a license for the content, it's a license to access the content from the provider through a specific player/app. So getting content from musicbackups dot com or whatever would not be a transferable right or gray area.

People will do it anyway though
> Those services I mentioned -- COPR/OBS, they can be the trusted sources by your users.

But there's nothing trusted about them is the point, you can ship a deb or rpm with all sorts of scripts running at installation, this is no safer than curl | sh.

If anything it's worse, when you "curl | sh" and it requests sudo you can go "mmm no we're not doing this I will happily risk compromising all my user data but it stops at my system integrity".

rpm or deb you're already running as root.

> If you trust the developer/maintainer, you can trust these services.

And you can also trust their site which you're curl-ing from.
No COM is a ref-counted land of objects with virtual tables of functions. This proposal seems to define how to convert C ABI to/from Rust types in a standard way. This will likely improve Rust+C use cases over time.
I love how conspiracy-theorists self-congratulate on things that totally haven’t happened. There’s been no “oh yeah we totally did that” about vaccine safety, lockdowns, covid severity or much else, yet here you are claiming to have been right all along in some nebulous way.

It’s very funny to watch.
On an old web server I ran for someone I renamed the original curl and wgets and replaces them with ones that just logged and did nothing else. After a year I had a nice list of URL’s for naughty scripts bots and exploits! (Server ran a load of Wordpress sites)
Yes, this. If you run something that's not in the binary cache you are an in a lot of pain because of Cargo. I have no idea how it works but it's painfully slow (is there some sort of network speed limit implemented? or is it downloading entire git history? )

I think you're talking about slightly different things.

The issue (which I agree with) is that the month and date "share" a continuous grey background which makes them seem connected.

They can be visible at the same time, but it would make sense to me to separate the backgrounds as to indicate that they can be scrolled separately before touching them.

It is easy being smugly wrong.
It would be possible and affordable for some, far more than elsewhere. It's just really damn hard to find an apartment at all, seemingly at any reasonable price point. I can't overstate how much harder it got in the last two years.

Some people don't learn German at all and get by. They are surprisingly many, even in the 5+ years club. I think that it adds extra stress since you must pick from a smaller subset of English-speaking services. Even then, the bureaucracy speaks German and you'll sometimes need people to read letters and make phone calls for you.

I remember the anxiety of getting letters I couldn't read, and having to react to them. People tend to procrastinate or avoid important tasks because of it.

But I think that the biggest disadvantage is that you miss a big part of what's going on. You get a very muted version of the local culture.

Still, it's all doable and well worth it. I just figure that this is the information you need now, not a sales pitch for this city.

The React docs are very clear on this:

“Emulators community” have a partucularly peculiar take on that by the way.

Current gen emulator developers usually say you should rip your own ROMs from the physical media instead of just downloading them from torrents (even if you have the disc/cartridge on hand). I don't think anybody's actually doing that, but discussing downloads is banned on official channels.
> in a _working environment_.

What? it is about the work environment.
The only similarity is an authority figure said something untrue. By that measure the NORAD Santa tracker is "like Tuskegee."

Shades of grey exist and context matters. The world is not black and white and that isn't comfortable. However the point of delegating authority is to make difficult decisions with imperfect information in challenging circumstances that don't make sense at an individual level.

Not to mention the commenter who even made that comparison seems to have no idea what Tuskegee was actually known for (as they make no mention of the racial animus inherent in the 'study' if you can even call it that). It's wild to me that someone would make that comparison with the benefit of Wikipedia in this the year of our lord 2022.
This Swedish website actually claims that tech is a problem area for Sweden:

Yeah I recently started to pay for it too, after using many 12+ years with free storage. It was relatively low cost compared to Dropbox (etc), so it was a natural move. No more stressing over about deleting photos from Google Photos, and I configured that extra space to use as a backup endpoint too (using Duplicati with Google Drive).

Probably one of the best value online services I paid for.

Can you share your views on the future of Lisp?
Maybe you have unfulfilled hopes about the future of this language?
What was the biggest breakthrough in your 52 years of watching Lisp?
(I understand that this is a garbage collector and tail optimization, but as far as I remember, these inventions happened earlier than 52 years ago).
What is the biggest limiting factor to your productivity when writing Lisp in Emacs?
(for me it's not touch typing oriented enough compared to vim).

How can you personally explain the fact that for all the objective power of any dialect of Lisp, there is still no free software that has utilized the language's capabilities in the same way that Wolfram Alpha does?
To the people who downvote this, care to point what your issue is besides your fee-fees getting hurt by somebody on the internet who explained why your opinion of how social media should run is juvenile?
Maturin wasn't powerful enough for our use cases, so we used raw setuptools-rust and cibuildwheel. Even with abi3 compat, yes it's not always easy to get the wheels exactly as you want.

And with a lack of ARM runners by default with GH actions, you'll most likely be paying for your own CI instances (or wait forever for cibuildwheel cross compilation/qemu). Also for others doing this, the rust-cache GH action saves a lot of rebuild time too.
I'm sorry I found this hilarious
The key point for me with valve is their ongoing efforts to make software they license to me easier for me to use. This is completely opposed to the rest of the media industry, who are working exclusively to make my experience worse. Thanks to valves efforts I can now easily run many games that would've been windows only a few years ago.
Netflix and friends won’t even reliably serve me 4K, even once you’ve jumped through all the hoops (sufficient network speed, right OS, right browser/application, 4K source content, the expensive plan, a screen capable of 4K etc).

This is so tedious. I said there were plenty of exceptions. As with many human traits it's a distribution with long tails at the extremities, and plenty of overlap between groups.

This doesn't in any way negate the existence of a mean difference between groups. In the real world innate sex differences are a fact of life.

That's the whole point of the paper attached to this thread.

Egalitarians believe that society would be better off if we made all efforts to flatten these differences out or ignore them. This is an article of faith, that is in no way reflected in the real world.
> The curl | bash approach has only one upside: you can store the script, inspect it, then run.

Not having to waste countless hours on whatever distro's package format of choice is a pretty big upside.

And those are also RCEs if you're not upstreaming the package (which you likely are not because that increases the amount of time needed by an order of magnitude) as most package managers have multiple scripting points which run arbitrary code, and usually run as root already.
Both were public health officials lying to citizens about the effectiveness of particular actions in protecting their own health. The Tuskegee Experiment directly damaged the health of 458 people and killed 128 of them. The CDC lying about masks put the health of 330 million people at risk and killed...who knows? Maybe it saved more than it killed, but it did kill people.

And that's the thing. The CDC didn't come out and say "we lied to you but the ends justified the means; killing some of you was worth saving more of you". They just tried to pretend it never happened, or alternatively that nobody could possibly have any idea that face masks could help you not infect your neighbors.

If I recall correctly they’re also used to be a kids version. It was great and perfect to show kids the building blocks of science. It started with a lever or something very simple, then went into locks, etc.
A clever trick with a funny example, but I’m also fine with curl|bash — as fine as I am with “pip3 install thing” or installing “thing.dmg”.

I almost always decide whether to execute someone’s else’s software based on their reputability. Is the project well known? Is it maintained, with lots of GitHub stars? My decision is never based on reading the source code. I don’t have nearly as much of a problem with curling shell scripts as the finger-wagging “actually you shouldn’t do that” crowd seem to say I should.

The one thing that really does give me the creeps is adding someone else’s apt repository to my system-wide one. I just can’t seem to square that off in my head against my more laissez-afire “well do I trust them or not?” attitude that I take for every other installation attack vector. Maybe because it means trusting the third party forever, instead of just once?
VLC might play that .mp4 but honestly it’s hostile UX like this that my parents and family can’t navigate alone or rob us of our time together troubleshooting google apps/Android OS because some goog product org somewhere is doing god knows what to increase engagement metrics in their apps and justify their promotion/bonus to tweak things that break goog apps for end users not using flagship latest-gen Pixel phones.

This is why I switched to iPhone/apple products and never looked back, and I say that as a former Android fanboy who started with the G1 and flashed custom roms and participated in XDA forums for years to make our Android phones make sense to us UX/UI wise.

iOS simply solves 95% of all the issues I had when using Android, while respecting my settings as configured and upholding my privacy. Good riddance Android/Google, never again.

The skid steers comments were about an organisation which stores and delivers wood to residents in the area. Individual households / residences presumably aren't using skid steers to retrieve wood.

From the article:

Oglala-based service organization Re-Member provides firewood to families on all corners of the reservation, but the drifts of snow have rendered their wood stockpile inaccessible still – and it’ll be that way for the foreseeable future.

“Our wood pile remains inaccessible,” read a Facebook post on Dec. 20. “Our skid steer and plow are out-of-service. Given the conditions, it would be near impossible to operate our equipment and unsafe for our staff to work in the conditions we are facing.

That is, one of the key stockpiles serving the community couldn't provide fuelwood due to both weather conditions and broken equipment.

And, as numerous others have noted, the region is desperately poor and remote.
Generally for scientific libraries where this is common, the expectation is from many users that you'll make it available via Conda Forge/Spack/EasyBuild for easier distribution, and that anyone wanting anything else will either get a manylinux wheel targeting a lowest common denominator machine, or will have to build from source.

You wanted evidence, not anecdotes. But if you want anecdotes then yes, I've even worked with a bunch of women in tech. You can't make generalizations based off your own experiences though, obviously I'll bump into women in tech while working in tech. But similarly, if the people you bump into aren't already in tech, then it shouldn't be too surprising that they're not as excited as you are about it. You believe they're not in tech because they are born without the ability to like it, I believe it's because more often than not they're guided away from it during their upbringing.

You can be right that it's common to see and still wrong that it's an innate part of being a woman.
I doubt it's about what the creators themselves believe or want...
That’s what soft-body tries to encompass. You can’t just freeze and unfreeze a soft-body system to a rigid-body though as you’d end up with odd behaviour and a non-trivial decomposition. How many rigid bodies is this soft body now? How are they constrained relative to one another? And how to decompose the new shape into suitable collision primitives?

Simple mass-spring systems (like this) have issues with really stiff springs and high masses causing unrealistic responses even with a low time step but you can use approaches like XPBD which are stable. Changing the configuration of constraints is what causes the shape change.

Most vehicle sims get really far with just using a rigid-body system and modelling the damage another way. It’s much computationally cheaper, much cheaper in terms of time to setup a vehicle and lets you maintain high fidelity in the driving model which is the bit most players care about.
It's not. These lists could be used to track down people who worked with the US government. They will be executed for this.

These lists were a scandal a few months ago in Netherlands already as people who worked for the Dutch army in Afghanistan were scared for their lives when the government in A fell and NL was not able to get them out quickly enough and NL didn't destroy the records in the Ambasassy
On La Palma, there is a pair of ravens living up in the mountain near the observatory.

They are incredibly smart and very tame. They will happily land on your shoulder while you try to eat your lunch and pick away into your lunch box.

They will do loopings above groups of tourists, land, beg for food, and when they receive food, do some more fly-bys and loopings.

They bury food in the ground and I bet they find all of it later.

I am pretty sure they recognize people, as they came straight for me and my wife when we were hiking and not to the other people around...

> Are you saying that Sweden is a sexist society?

Sweden is such an interesting paradox: womens’ rights to work in different fields and (mostly) on an equal footing are protected in law, and (in my experience) in practice. And yet in many ways I find it generally the most gender-divided country I’ve experienced, and I’ve even lived in countries that most people would consider very sexist, like the UK and Spain.

There are strong traditions of socializing mostly as a group of women or a group of men, inviting all your girlfriends or male friends for dinner (“tjej/herrmiddag”), meeting friends at certain cafés or restaurants that are almost 100% gendered (this can have a comical effect of being the only male in a café filled with 50 females).

Away from the larger towns there is still a strong macho culture, with cars and hunting being as popular as any redneck county in the States, and with all the usual horror-stories of growing-up gay or a misfit, before moving to Stockholm or Gothenburg.

It’s fascinating to me to read outsider’s perspectives of Sweden, as I shared that impression before coming here.

Otoh it always gladdens my heart to see a female roadworker, digging a hole alongside her male colleagues without it seeming odd or misplaced.
It's almost completely gone in the US on Netflix also. I've had better luck watching older movies on Youtube 'Free with Ads' service, especially 80s and 90s movies, than I've had on Netflix. And there's no ads if you get Youtube's premium service (I currently don't, but don't mind the ads).

Currently on there is Wrongfully Accused (funny Leslie Nielsen movie), Glengarry Glen Ross, Robocop (1987), Ghost in the Shell, The Mask, License to Drive, The Neverending Story, Tombstone, Leon The Professonal, The Amityville Horror, Over the Top (some Stallone movie), Miracle on 34th Street, Con Air, Edward Scissorhands, Gone Fishin', Look Who's Talking, While You Were Sleeping, The Craft, Red Dawn, So I Married an Axe Murderer, Secret of Nimh, Killer Klowns from Outer Space, Revenge of the Pink Panther, Mad Max, Das Boot, Little Shop of Horrors, Hackers, Children of the Corn, Death on the Nile (1978 version, remade recently), Delirious, Rock-a-Doodle, The Big Boss (Bruce Lee, 1971), Babes in Toyland, Samson an Delilah (1950), The Grapes of Wrath (1940), The Seven Year Itch (Marilyn Monroe, 1955) .... okay, I'm just going to stop now, but it keeps going, I'm only a third of the way though the list.

Also it's newer, but one of my favorite movies is currently free with ads on there: Kung Fu Hustle, a hilarious and ridiculous spectacle with excellent choreography.

Only downside is you never know how long they'll stay on there, it doesn't seem to be as long as other services, so you kind of need to check the list often and watch the ones you want to see while they're on there. I think I had a similar comment on here six months ago and the list I had then would have been completely different.
I love Bernie but he was also running for president of the United States and this forced him to have a somewhat centrist position from a global perspective. He only seems lefty to us because he genuinely cares about labor, health care, and free education. But in many places this platform is not particularly leftist.
