Honestly i really don’t know what would have become of me if not for ROOTKITS RECOVERY CENTRE who has been of grate benefits to me and my family. its was my first time investing in Binary company, i got introduced to this company through a Lady i had met on instagram, we actually have been friends for almost a year over on instagram. along the line she mention about this company to me and how she had been earning money from there and did provide me with some sort of proofs and certificate of the company. then i went ahead and made a couple of investment with them, but when it was time for me to withdraw my total profits and earnings, they started giving silly excuses regarding the company upgrade, taxes and co as was unable to make the withdrawal successfully. the support was not helping out in anyway as they kept requesting for more money, while all this was happening personally i got really disturb and depressed, a friend of mine who i opened up to in order to lend some money so i could at least pay the fees and have my funds but he then told me that this could be scam that he had a similar experience and advice i should get a hacker which he referred me to Rootkits. left to me i never believe that could be possible but as it goes i contacted their email: R O O T K I T S 4 @ G M A I L . C O M , They responded once and i gave him the necessary info they required. to my great surprise he recovered all my investments back for me just within few days i couldn’t be more thankful, If you have been a victim of crypto or binary scam you can trust Rootkits. I thought there were no such good genuine guys anymore on earth, but this team brought my trust to humanity again. GOD bless you Rootkits you can reach him on Telegram ( ROOTKITS7 )
I'm personally leaning towards the viral theory I've seen some research about. The general idea is that the brain produces these products as a defense to one of several viruses as a self defense mechanism but that those proteins may do bad things as well. Apparently population studies of people who take antiviral medications for herpes showed a significant decline in incidences of Alzheimer's. I haven't followed it closely lately so I am not sure if that is a return to baseline from an elevated risk (e.x. say that herpes increases baseline risk and treatment restores it) or if it might be generally applicable. Given that most drugs that have targeted Amyloid have failed to produce results so far, something like the Tau hypothesis or viral infection seem to me to be possibilities. Again, I haven't kept up lately so I would be happy to be "corrected" with some new things to read up on.
For those who collect a percentage skim on all transctions, their economy is great. Higher prices bring more tax revenue for the skimmers.
String parsing is a bit rough, but otherwise Fortran is much better than Matlab -- and Matlab was written in the 1990s to be "Fortran for the 90s". Numpy enabled scientific computing folks to leave Matlab (and some, Fortran) to adopt Python.

I took a coin flip in grad school to decide whether to focus on Python and Fortran. Python won the flip, but I've always loved Fortran generally.
What’s the easiest way to get archive links to stuff like this. I always have to wait until someone posts the link.
Their hissy fits over fuel have driven inflation through the roof in most of Europe. Those same countries are sheltering Ukraine's refugees. More of the same threatens Europe's stability, pushes the EU closer to direct action.

And Russia has backed themselves into a corner, diplomatically. Not even the other CIS members have enthusiasm for Putin. So this idiot, who started this desperate for a legacy, only has a prison sentence for war crimes or a nuclear firework party in his future.

It is right to mock Russia's decisions, it's right to point out how pathetic their war has been, but it isn't right to claim they have no power to affect others near to them.
Damn. I never tried that in the US so I assume it would be fine, but I guess that infamous credit score system really is preventing you from doing that. When I was in England I just stopped paying my rent when I had issues with my landlord and they just fixed the issues. In France it’s also pretty common to not pay the last month when you want to leave so they’re forced to use the deposit for that. Unfortunately a lot of landlords are quite shitty and that’s a good way to deal with them.
Vonnegut is my favorite author. Cat's Cradle is also a lot of fun, with Ice-9 and Bokononism.
> The “cheap” way I suspect my motherboard is using takes advantage of the fact USB 3.x Gen1 only uses one of the two SuperSpeed lanes present on the USB-C connector, and unlike Gen2, it often does not require a redriver to improve signal integrity.

In general it would be great to know if there are ways of finding cables, motherboards, power adapters that don't skirt the requirements. I haven't found a way to know this so instead for now I just try to invest in brands like Anker that seem trustworthy.
>Except that instruments don't come with a backspace

In practice it does. The common advice is to go back to the start of the phrase when you make a mistake practicing instrument.
I use duckduckgo as default, but whenever I need just and exactly some specific keywords, then I use startpage.com.

2.3 is too low. This seems to be based on treasury yields that yield negative real return right now.

In order to have v 2.3 you basically need to have 0 for the next 4 years if you average the previous year in.
You’ve completely missed the point. By “docker” they mean the concept of containers, which is only needed because developers are so absolutely awful at keeping track of what libraries they’re using, and completely opposed to using OS packages like rpm/deb, that someone (Docker) finally had to say “screw it, we’re just going to lump everything into this binary blob that includes a whole set of OS libraries because we just give up even trying to get them the play nice with the rest of the IT ecosystem”.
If you always predict a recession is happening you’re bound to be right. This is the third prediction from Fred in a year I’ve read that has been extremely wrong where common sense was right. Glad he posts them publicly, but even his insider ticket has little value to reality.

I guess the upside on predictions is you only have to get a significant one right to win.
> The low unemployment rate indicates we’re likely either in or about to start a recession.

Sure, I mean, we might only be ~4 years from a recession (see 1966). It's true that, as recession is defined roughly as the period of decline from an economic peak, they usually start during a period of low unemployment, but that doesn't mean low unemployment signals being in a recession. Most low unemployment periods are outside of recessions.

> It generally doesn’t spike until months after recessions begin

Every recession shown on that chart either begins simultaneously with or after sustained unemployment increases, I don’t see any where it lags significantly.

There are several places where the low unemployment plateau before a recession is extended, and even a couple where an apparent low plateau is followed by another drop and another plateau.

I've spent a lot of time running and cycling, and personally, I can burn 800 calories an hour running, and 600 cycling. I can easily sustain heartrates of 150-160bpm but struggle to break 130 swimming.

Found a few source that also put running at the top.

Look into Coach Sommer and https://www.gymnasticbodies.com/. Probably the best guide from beginner to advanced out there. I've been following their program for over 15 years, and there's something for every level of strength and flexibility. It's a program you can follow your entire life.

The big thing with calisthenics/gymnastics is developing the tendon and ligament strength in your joints which take several months/years, but is the foundation to doing the advanced stuff like planches and levers. Good luck!
thats a bit of hyperbole, farmers do like to experiment as well, and bad yields do happen, they are not risk averse.

I dunno.

It’s an easier life for sure, but less stressful? Really?

If you or I mess up at our job the worst thing that happens is we have to look for another job.
If someone like him messes up bad enough it’s jail terms and death threats. Obviously that’s less threatening when you’re already pushing 100 and we’ll into what most of us would call bonus years but I’m sure he was aware of the cost of screwing up during his younger years too.

Basically I do not want to return it. I knew it will have 8GB of soldered RAM, but I found this article [1], which explained some benefits of soldered RAM. And elswhere on some gaming forum it was mentioned that if soldered RAM is faulty, it will be evident in he first month of usage.
I'd like to install Ubuntu in dual boot with Windows as soon as possible, but in recommendations on testing new laptops there is a memory test. If it still worked fine (no blue screens etc), should I run the memory test to test the soldered RAM or the soldered RAM functionality will be more evident under some "natural" loads like 3d modelling software and compute intensive/parallel tasks?

I read the earliest articles on OO and SmallTalk in Byte Magazine, which IIRC would have been the early 80s. OOP was totally and utterly bewildering to me, a BASIC and Pascal programmer.

It "clicked" much later, in two stages, using languages that were "kind of like" OOP, even if not rigorously so: LabVIEW, HyperCard, Visual Basic. I think VB had a decent strategy for introducing OO to the rest of us. Out of the box, it was "object based," meaning that you could use classes that had been created by someone else. For a bit more money you could buy the version that let you do full OO, but I never did that. But by being a user of objects, it gave you an idea of what you'd want if you could create them for yourself.

Nowadays of course people range from being bullish to bearish on OO, and I've had the experience of doing it badly and making a mess of things, when a procedural or functional model would probably be better.

Kind of a lesser issue is that I finally grasped how to work with a modern OS after laying my hands on the first couple volumes of the Win32 programmer's manuals, which I think were vastly less forbidding than Inside Macintosh.
I would say the biggest problem is advertising. It would be much less harmful if commercial content was upfront about asking for your wallet, and the transaction ended there (the publisher's incentives are directly aligned with the end-customer's). Instead, we have stuff that's technically "free" but actually comes with plenty of strings attached such as mismatched incentives - the content is only there as bait and the actual objective is to get you to look at an ad or think a certain way for commercial gain. Worse, this "free" stuff being out there means there's not enough pressure to build a good, universal micropayments system to displace advertising, so the problem remains.
> What a transparent frame. The limitation is lack of understanding the consequences. What may look like a snazzy solution for a handful of tech entrepreneurs might not be desirable for everyone.

No, I give you an example: you receive industry information every month that is based on incomplete information but the companies in that industry also wants to know how the industry is going. They are very interested in sharing their information in a private way (e.g. homomorphing encryption) and having final stats as a whole. This need is real.

> Ah, yet another layer of business logic. One that hardly anyone understands. That'll do wonders for consultants.

This is the contrary: removing layers. If you want to create a token you just declare that you want the token instead of writing buggy ERC20 smart contracts. Most use cases are repetitive.
I've always been a fan of this story and on the side of "it's logical to spend all human effort curing death" but lately I've just developed hesitations around the argument for that.

Mainly stemming from all of the societal issues we have that ultimately are based on human nature and our tribal instincts. Living longer isn't going to make things like universal basic income happen or accelerate us into some post-scarcity economy.

Humans already behave poorly enough when provided a knowingly limited lifespan, I can't see people improving provided an unlimited natural lifespan. We're not wired for it.
When I was younger I had a lot of trouble with OOP. It probably didn’t help that my two strongest languages at the time (PHP and Python) allow you to use them fully iteratively if you want. For some reason I never found an explanation that focused on state. A lot of the examples I saw I remember thinking it made a lot more sense to just rewrite the functions so they aren’t part of a class.

I still frequently see code examples online that are written using classes that don’t need to be. I imagine this is the reverse problem: people from languages like Java thinking everything has to be in a class.

I founded a community called #! 20 years ago where anyone can show up and start hacking on community projects and get some mentorship.

We sometimes put bounties on things we wish to see done for the community, but in general we are a non-profit digital hackerspace and do not pay ourselves or anyone else. We encourage anyone that contributes that is unemployed to put it on their resume and we are happy to be referrals for them.

Helped a ton of people get jobs in tech over the years.
Them staying home is showing that it is a reality. If they went to work even when it was a shit deal then that would show the theory didn't hold, but the fact that as the job gets worse fewer want to do it shows the theory works.
Lack of involvement with the father or over-involvement with the mother may result in lack of ability to relate to sexual peers.
Interesting concept but what seems more compelling to me would be more like a Tiktok/Reddit hybrid. You log in and see content that "the algorithm" knows you'll like, but with an added element of community from people "the algorithm" knows you'll find cool/funny/insightful/etc. Like a simulacrum of the Facebook feed but instead of friends and family it's this "tribe". No need for labels or even naming those people.

Feels like this is what social media is trying to achieve anyway but they're mostly stuck with the existing social graph as a starting point...
> Armenia already asked Russia's help and they refused

To fight on territory which isn't recognized as Armenian by everyone else. A reminder that Russian peacekeeping unit is at the Armenian-Karabakh border, not Karabakh-Azeri.
I exclusively self host vault warden behind a VPN and firewall with a custom domain. Changes are automatically managed and deployed through GitHub CI/CD.

I have wireguard VPN on all my devices tunneled into my server. I also self-host the VPN since vaultwarden runs on a local Docker intranet.

If people are interested, I was going to write a step by step blog.

Less technical, but I also get yubikey and duo 2factor push auth out of the box with Vaultwarden! (Open source rust implementation of Bitwarden)

I'm not a programmer, but I am an engineer with very strong opinions on, and preferences for, objects/tools I interact with. I don't think your preference for avoiding jobs that would require you to use Windows is immature. The tools we use affect our output. Especially digital tools because they're extensions of how we think.

Some folk view and use cars as A to B transportation, and some care about how wheel camber angles affect driving dynamics. Ultimately, it boils down to taste, knowledge, nuance.
It seems that the science has already gained a few wins in the last twenty years when it comes to understanding (and slowing down) aging. It will take time for that to trickle down to the medical system. I mean, there are good reasons why we have the processes in place before we start recommending stuff to the general population.

That being said, the first people who are going to live to 150 (most of that in good health) are likely already among us.
So sat-to-sat connectivity will enable 1) software updates on the sats so that you can do your post processing in space, 2) you can rapidly downlink in a parallel manner. Seems like a big step forward for the defense industry.

That's an interesting idea!

A "vetted" package index that charges subscription and splits the revenue with package maintainers. In return, maintainers agree to jump through all the extra hoops and index maintainers do extra verification (but still no warranty except that the standard procedure is followed).

The same package can then be uploaded to the normal index (as it is now), but without these extra steps, and no vetting.
I'm 42 and though always been into weight lifting, never ran for more than 30 seconds (usually to catch a train). I started on Couch to 5K on August last year, when I realised I was the one member in my team that didn't sign up for a 5K charity run in September!

Running for a whole minute on the first week was extremely challenging and physically painful in the heart. I genuinely worried thinking I was going to have a heart stroke. The second week was even harder, as I realised my first week run wasn't truth whole minute as my podcast app was set to listen to 1.3x speed, so I ran less!

Anyway, in 7 weeks I was able to do eight whole minutes and I could push myself to do more. I managed to finish the 5K charity run in 38 minutes, but due to covid wasn't able to run since.

I highly recommend this podcast and once the weather gets better I will be resuming these jogs!
Great comment. Predictions used by people with platforms are in their best interests given they can sell or anchor their products better. It’s win win for them even if they are terribly wrong.
There is a lot of personal opinion nowadays — along with forums and microblogging and people discussing philosophical arguments in IRC-over-Freenet (FLIP).

You’ll wait up to 30s¹ for a 100k html file nowadays. 1 minute for a 2 MiB website.

¹: if you have at least 10 peers. If you try to run with the lowest possible specs (5 peers), you won’t get a good experience, but with 10 peers it works pretty well (and the Japanese with their awesome connection speeds actually get 60 peers).

I think the poster is referring to Guice or something similar - that there's a framework which selects which instantiated runtime object gets injected as a dependent into another, thereby automatically "figuring out" what object needs to get instantiated first, and then next etc.

Not just the app but also the website.
Objective-C message passing/variable declaration's the syntax is so different from C, C++, Java, Javascript, Ruby, Python and other popular OOP languages
for me it was functional programming. and not just fp as is, but it's relation to another popular concept - oop.

i was properly introduced only to oop, and grasped a little of fp here and there, especially learning go and javascript.

what i consider a 'click' for me is when i realised that all of these paradigms are interchangeable. like, an abstract method is just a function, or a function signature is the same as in interface with a single method.

after that i write code however it feels more appropriate for the situation i am in and don't think too much about fancy words and patterns. it really feels like programming languages are becoming 'native' for me.
Excel and word don't stress my machine, games do.
TV is minimum 1/3 time advertising, 2/3 content, but that is ignoring shilling and product placement in the content.

I do not spend anywhere near 1/3rd of my time on the internet figuring out what is and is not advertising. Mostly by avoiding content with images and video.
I've been training juniors and taking part in technical interviews for a few years now, and I can say that bootcamp hires were generally the best performant.

Particularly those in late twenties/early thirties who were coming from an entirely different field - we had tons of applications from former architects and biologists for some reason - tend to outshine younger software engineers fresh out of school in just a few months.

I could understand this opinion to be controversial, but considering bootcamps a red flag vs just a hobbyist programmer with no education? Sounds ridiculous to me.
> There’s just no/limited money in prevention

Hard disagree.

If I know I’m in at high-risk for Alzheimer’s, I will spend money to help prevent it.

Unfortunately this is a growing market; anyone who’s watched a parent or grandparent with Alzheimer’s, it’s a no-brainer.
