I guess making yourself delicious to one species might sometimes entail inadvertently making yourself delicious to another species even if the latter one isn’t beneficial. Also in many cases the fruit probably isn’t aiming to be completely eaten. They just want to be collected and taken elsewhere. Even if most of the seeds are then eaten and destroyed by digestion, a few will end up on the ground, uneaten.
As with many things, female averages are higher. But females scores also tend to cluster toward the middle. Male averages are lower, but have more scores at both the low end and high end. Thus, the best male performances are higher than the best female performances (and the worst male performances are lower than the worst female performances).

I'd definitely be worried about that if they had investors, but as far as I know, it's entirely self-owned, and they are happy if they make enough money to support their small staff of (currently) six. Not even sure all of them take a salary , for that matter.

Outside investors seem to me to be the real anti-user signal. Everything else flows from that.
About the apparent simplicity of concurrency in Go
No offense, but it is a really unnuanced situation, so I feel that your "either or" statements are really framing the conversation poorly.

It doesn't have to be either or, multiple of these arguments can apply or partially apply.

> Why do you feel it is in the best interest of the US?

I mostly agree with the state department, their statement can be found here: https://www.state.gov/united-with-ukraine/

To summarize what I think is important:

- We should support sovereignty, as you said. As the US should be against slavery today though they were for it in the past, poor decisions don't make you a hypocrite when you take the correct course of action in the future.

- Ukraine is a somewhat ally of the US, though not in NATO. You support your allies.

- A weaker Russia is good for the US, especially a weaker Putin. Putin and Russia are not neutral with their actions against the US.

- Appeasement doesn't work. You may be correct that Ukraine is more important to Russia than Ukraine is to the west, but it was the same with Poland and Germany during WW2. Things change, but appeasement doesn't work. And before you say that was a long time ago, appeasement already did not work with Russia with Crimea.

- The US did win the cold war. The soviet union failed. This was much due to the same tactics being used today with Ukraine: containment and deterrence.

- Not good to encourage countries to invade each other.
I’d be curious to know which one you personally use given all the research into the topic?

GDPR enforcement so far is one of these rare examples where the bigger fish are fined and prosecuted first. (Yes, fines against smaller players happen, but are less likely on a per-company basis).
You can make the argument that any precedent might not apply to a new case due to a distinction being made. The nature of precedents seems to be that they are a set of basic facts, a judgement, and only a guide as to how future cases might be considered. Of course every case is unique in some ways that may or may not matter.

Ok, well then it might turn out that some of the fringe scientists were right all along. A healthy young male like me would probably have been far better off to not receive any kind of vaccine, I only got Covid after a third booster and I don’t think I could have had it any worse.

MAP is minimum advertised price. For instance in the old days lots of Herman Miller distributors sold online for a lot lower than what Herman Miller wanted them to so Herman Miller banned them from distributing their products. In the context of “brand integrity” the debate is usually about undercutting.
I personally think everyone including 90s kids are just burnt out by social media. It’s too much. The only ones that seem to still engage are teenagers because they are evergreen. That’s probably why Facebook tries to target teenagers.
Compiling extensions to python from another language also provide opportunities to fuse two or more operations, resulting in speed up even for cases where fast but independent implementation of operations are already available in python. And may be really worth it if that functionality is needed frequently.
I have been writing python extensions[0] using Nim language for a while now and it has been a very smooth experience every time.

As a side note, now it is easy to write Rust code, which can be directly used in Python - https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3.

It cannot use NumPy and other libraries (since it is Rust), but at the same time, I see its potential in creating high-performance code to be used in Python numerical environment.
It's an opportunity cost question here. Is your time worth more than the money to replace it? As you get older your time is much more valuable IMO.
The know it all tone of this article is kind of annoying. Security professionals seem to have a common trait of thinking they know better.

Well, some claim to have it. I think it can be true, until it isn't
Great news, and TY for all your passion and work on the diffeq lib and Julia in general!
I'm surprised we havent seen more of this.

I guess the problem is that you dont have a competitive moat. It's too easy for your users to just take the code, find their own developers and host it themselves.
Com'on, someone linking to a poorly done study claiming it proves "drug x cures COVID" isn't misinformation? Someone posting about 5G or Bill Gates being the source of the infection isn't misinformation? Someone going on some racist tirade about Chinese people isn't misinformed hate speech? You think we should just allow every crackpot theory or idea until scientifically proven inaccurate? Plenty of people were trying to steer the conversation in specific directions with little regard for the scientific accuracy of what they were stating.
I tried once building a very simple Rust extension on Windows using the Anaconda Python distribution and had no luck. If I remember correctly it got stuck trying to find the VC++ compiler.

Cython extensions on the other hand work fine with the MinGW GCC compiler provided by Anaconda, although it's pretty old (version 5).
Yeah, I started go mentally down the rabbit hole - for example I have an access point running OpenWrt, a few Linux servers and I could find a Raspberry Pi or five, but just decided the gain for the reconfiguration pain was not worth the effort.
A perfectly fine CD can explode in a CD drive.
I'm not sure I'd agree that pricing is ipso facto anti-user, but I grant that it's a limitation that can be out of the end user's direct control.
Raymond Chen's blog addresses this a lot. The reason why they did this was because even if it wasn't their fault, people would blame Microsoft for breaking things. Since they can't force third-party developers to fix their broken code or to stop using weird hacks, they chose the best option available to them. Fix it themselves.

I don't see how they did anything wrong or why it wouldn't still be one of the best solutions today. And honestly, it often still is the best or even the only solution today. There's only so much we have control over, no matter who we are.
Shows the need for true multi factor. We should not have a bunch of virtual MFAs and passwords in one service even if said service make it convenient.

Password managers should be held to a high standard but we should also never depend just on a password for
protection of anything of value.
In Linux this is trivial.

There's a number of clipboard management and inspection tools such as xclip and you can bind keys to do arbitrary commands with a bunch of tools.

There's a wide variety of ways to send stuff over the network as well.

The architecture is pretty obvious

Copy on remote, clipboard manager emits over network, local server picks up text, puts in clipboard.

This is like a few hours at most
My explanation is perhaps bad statistical reasoning. You never really know what time you would have woken up naturally without the alarm. So those instances get forgotten. All that you think about are the times when you get up right before the alarm. And I suspect people are usually are not within a minute, but more like 10-20 minutes.
We were very heavy numba users at my former company. I would even go so far as to say numba was probably the biggest computational enabler for the product. I’ve also made a small contribution to the library.

It’s a phenomenal library for developing novel computationally intensive algorithms on numpy arrays. It’s also more versatile than Jax.

In presentations, I’ve heard Leland McInnes credits numba often when he speaks of his development of UMAP.
We built a very computationally intensive portion of our application with it and it has been running in production, stable, for several years now.

It’s not suitable for all use cases. But I recommend testing it if you need to do somewhat complex calculations iterating over numpy arrays for which standard numpy or scipy functions don’t exist. Even then, often we were surprised that we could speed up some of those calculations by placing them inside numba.

Edit: ex of a very small function I wrote with numba that speeds up an existing numpy function (note - written years ago and numba has undergone quite some amount of changes since!): https://github.com/grej/pure_numba_alias_sampling

Disclosure - I now work for Anaconda, the company that sponsors the numba project.
But that’s exactly the problem. A good website employs an “international-first” approach. As such, having such lenient formatting can be a compounding problem pretty quickly as you’re trying to accommodate all types of formatting dates for all languages and regions.

Imo, the site to plainly and explicitly require an exact type of date formatting. It’s very easy to validate and they can even help with formatting.
I just wish hjkl scrolling worked for those of us who do not use QWERTY
I have personally gotten a lot of mileage from just writing the compute heavy parts of my code in C++ and exposing it to Python with a tool like PyBind11 [1] or NumpyEigen [2]. I find tools like numba and cython to be more trouble than they're worth.

Is there any password manager out there besides keepass that isn't cloud based?
agreed. linux desktop is absolutely fine for me.
Thanks for posting this. I was about to post an "Ask HN" to see what password managers people here are using, but this seems very helpful to compare the various services.
I was a CNE in the ‘90s and remember fellow CNEs with their uptime screen pictures at the conferences. I was an outlier and usually would do a weekly bounce on my servers. I didn’t necessarily have a good reason to do the bounces, but did not tend to have some of the occasional stray issues others would report. Probably was more superstition than anything.

You can't say with 100% certainty people would have hoarded if they were told to save N95s for high risk people and use surgical masks for grocery store runs because they provided adequate protection in that environment.

I can tell you with 100% certainty that not everyone was as cynical as yourself, trusted the government, and as a result of these lies will be
more cynical than you originally were. The lies did immeasurable damage to people's trust.
An example from my life is that I'm very hard to bully/persuade to let things go/get to accept bad decisions. Usually, the impetus behind shutting up and going along is that speaking up will have ramifications on one's career. However, I have MS, which means I had to come to terms with possibly losing my career randomly no matter what I say or do. So it's not really something that can be held over me anymore.

I'm way more stubborn post diagnosis because I promise you (whoever you are) are way less scary than the fact that I might wake up and never walk again.

In my life this manifests through a willingness to speak up for those lower on the totem pole, to call people out on being manipulative assholes, and a willingness to take bolder decisions because I've been through worse, so come at me, bro.
Seagull Nebula from my suburban backyard using a 12“ telescope
I am, oddly, very much in control of my body even though I use warm showers. By all means, find your joy in cold showers - but it's worth keeping in mind that they're exactly what you call them, self-flagellation. I choose to forgo that, as well as cilice and living in a cloister.

Yes, the anti-inflammatory response is great. But usually, an ice-pack does a better job because it is targeted. Only very few moments in life bring inflammation for your entire body. We really should stop pretending there is value in suffering for suffering's sake.

By all means, do the things that make you happy. Just realize that they are "you" things, not universal truths.

I probably shouldn't have mentioned ProjectVeritas because many people instantly go into "sports team" mode and ignore the main point, but I wanted to point out how understanding a media entity's bias is a good thing and I used them as an example of a media entity that has a well-understood bias.

My greater point is that any media entity's work only conceivably presents a barrier to accurately understanding the world if you don't understand that they have a point of point of view they advocate for.

If you know that ProjectVeritas has a point of view that they advocate for and lean towards one side of the political aisle or the other, then you can take that information into account when gauging the accuracy of their stories and the likelihood that they're not presenting the facts accurately. ProjectVeritas presents no danger to the world even if their stories are always 100% wrong precisely because their bias is well-known and understood; and the visceral reaction to them here very clearly indicates that their bias is well-known.

The real risk comes when a media entity claims to be objective and unbiased when this should be understood to be impossible: no human being has zero bias.

It's the law in the US.

You can RIP copyrighted content of physical media you own for backup purposes, but you cannot share it.

This is why ripping a music CD you own is perfectly legal, but if you upload it that is not legal, nor is downloading it from someone elses upload.

Some people in the emulation community do actually adhere to this, but the vast majority do not, as you noted.
Or, you know, maybe companies could just respect the laws in the countries in which they do business. And if they disagree with those laws, they can either ignore them and pay the fine, or simply choose to not do business in those countries.

I am surprised that in 2020-s people still complain about subscription services.

Remember:

- you pay once for a single item - you own.

- you pay on a regular basis to access multiple items - you don’t.

As simple as that. The pre-internet model is a book library. You pay a small monthly fee for the right to borrow books subject to some rules and limitations. You don't own them but on the other hand you have access to a huge collection of resources owned by someone else.

Same story with all the music and video streaming services. Someone owns a huge collection of media and you can buy access to this collection if you pay a relatively small regular fee.

If you really want to own stuff then you need to invest a substantial amount of time and money into organizing your own library or collection of music, video, books or whatever else you are passionate about.

But in the account identity settings I have to give them a backup email address that they can use to verify my identity in case of issues. That backup email address never gets any email, definitely isn't worth paying for, and is obviously a gmail address.
A couple of years ago when checking out Rust for scientific work I started looking for familiar ground, e.g. Jupyter notebook support. I was happy to find google/evcxr's Jupyter kernel [1] and started writing an early access book on Rust for data analysis [2].

I'm really curious what people in the know have to say about PM's in general and what the good options are.

I personally really love having an in-browser password manager. It's an incredible convenience and it lets every service have a unique and nearly impossible to crack password.

I have far too many services to remember them all, and using the same password for everything would be terrible.

But of course I see the risk of having "one password to rule them all" and putting so much faith in one service. If it fails, losing everything is possible.

I don't mind paying of course if there's a reason to, though for now the free version of Bitwarden has been fine for years.
Oh funny. I hadn’t thought of that.
I used to do this all the time in my early career. Stopped at some point.

Annie Jacobsen wrote a book on biometrics in Afghanistan, "First Platoon: A Story of Modern War in the Age of Identity Dominance", https://thestrategybridge.org/the-bridge/2022/1/18/reviewing...

> Jacobsen's gripping account of how a platoon's deployment revolved around biometrics and how it ultimately led to a grave betrayal of justice is a must-read. Jacobsen fails to substantiate her connection between counterinsurgency and domestic policing norms. Nonetheless, she makes a compelling case for why deliberate thought must go into how governments use biometrics in the future. She rightly points out that citizens of the U.S. must be wary of the creep of battlefield biometrics into everyday policing. Questions still exist as to who should own biometric data of populations, what rights individuals have over their biometric fingerprint, and who should have access to such databases, especially when a war is over. Perhaps a future Geneva Convention-like treatment of biometrics is the answer in our ever-connected world.
