> The US & Western governments have absolutely zero moral standing at all to criticise Russia's illegal annexations of Ukrainian territories when they themselves turn a blind eye to their allies annexation of another neighbours territory

Kinda like Arab/Muslim countries denying Israel's right to exist due to "apartheid" when almost all of them practice different shades of apartheid. Iran is a good example of this but really this is prevalent in the whole area.
RSS link archive – update for year 2022
RSS link archive for the year 2022: https://github.com/rumca-js/RSS-Link-Database-2022

Operation start: 2022-09-05
Currently: 104 sources

With it you can:
- 'browse' headlines. Google provides 'time' filters, but I do not like Google
- Some links are not visible in Google. It provides only 31 pages for a phrase in 'news' search
- link rot can be verified (how much of an issue it is)
- you can verify what kind of news are not delivered by some media

In this package you can find:
- Musk takeover
- Twitter files
- Queen's death
- FTX collapse

Reasons of existence:
- RSS does not provide archive entries
- I do not like online software like feedly, I like having local data. In this case I also upload it to github
- I think newsboat reader does not provide advanced search mechanism

There is also a repo in which I store entries which I find interesting, useful: https://github.com/rumca-js/RSS-Link-Database
I think this post and many of comments here fail to grasp that a true full scale colonization mission of Mars would likely neccistate some sort of terraforming effort in the far future. Along really long timescales, you can even imagine the opposite effort to alter human biology. The major first step is simply getting there.

Another factor is that the civilization that is able to reach Mars is going to be the one that has achieved the capability to dominate Earth. The original purpose of the space race was war, and though people no longer think about it, mass produced planetary scale rocketry beats all other weapons.

And I can ensure you the bullies, if they are able, will find a way to twist the situation to continue and worsen the abuse.
Industrial foods with a supply chain have to be extremely careful with raw meat because of the many opportunities for spoilage. If you produce the meat yourself or it is done very locally, you have the opportunity to get it very fresh with many fewer concerns.

The sweet spot for foodbourne illness is industrial scale before rigorous inspections and processes (and refrigeration). That sweet spot fits a lot of people’s grandparents growing up timeframe.

Raw animal products have been consumed forever, what and how are obviously very cultural. During food supply chain industrialization, raw meat became considerably more unsafe and plenty of people were warned.

Now we can get clean food the opportunity to eat raw meat is back and slowly gaining popularity. If you don’t grow up doing it though, there’s a good chance you’ll never be comfortable with it.
I think there is a worthwhile distinction between the values you hold, and specific ways of implementing those values. When disagreeing with another person you're far more likely to differ on the exact road you want to take, but not actually the destination - presumably because a lot of individual assumptions play into the implementation you deem ideal.

To give an example, I do attach my ego to a lot of my values. But at the same time I know that I am fallible, and more likely to be wrong than right on any given topic, even if I do my best to research it. So if I really hold true to my values, I can't stomp my feet and say "But we have to do it this way!" if someone else can reasonably argue for a different (and potentially better) road to take.

No-one that wants to go to Mars has any expectations to go back. It's not even a factor.
You really underestimate the stress of running a company or investment fund.

I’d say your average middle class job is way less stressful.

Hell, I sometime yearn for the days of my blue collar jobs where when the clock hit 5pm the work was someone else’s problem.
A lot of people here pointing to bullying as a major issue, while not knowing what to do about it.

So, I'll point out that the KiVa [0] program from Finland has been proven to reduce bullying by a huge amount. It has been running for years now, with repeated success.

Would you want to preserve the culture that destroyed itself on Earth?

Seeding libraries for the culture that rose from the ashes would achieve whatever you are trying to.
Either this article misunderstands copyright or I do.
My understanding is that you only should change the copyright footer of a website when you change the content and therefore have created a new copyrightable artefact.
Similarly, Starbucks only need to update the date on their cup if they have updated the design of a new cup.
I went to a good uni in the same city as my high school. The admissions officers told me they knew my (mediocre) grades (all tough classes) were fine cause they were familiar with my high school and this helped me get in with lower than average grades. My test scores were generally good as well. This was repeated by the other two schools. Why did I get to talk to the admissions officers? I played sports. Even D3 schools had a former admissions officer or dedicated one who gave the coaches reads on everyone pre-admission. I got these reads from them.

Even Carnegie was familiar with my highschool (5 states away from MO), I just didn't get in there as I didn't have time to re-take the basic SAT Math as I had forgotten more geometry from freshman year than I needed to get to their high bar. I did nail the SAT2 math though. Many schools took that or the ACT which I did better on.

I think it depends on the size of your college/uni and how many other kids from your school go there.

I do remember being pissed watching one of my friends go up and get national honor society honors for their senior year because they finally passed their third try at freshman Algebra and had really high marks overall their senior year, where I was pulling a class high 89% in Stats but my gpa was not high enough.

Seems to have worked out going to engineering though which definitely did not grade inflate when I was there.
> Also, to your last paragraph, it does not show the other people are ideologues. It just show they see you want to win verbal game rather then engage in serious debate into the topic. People are not interested in it, because why would they?

In fairness, there are more interpretations beyond wanting to win.

Trying to make the point general: that filter ("do you have an evidence standard?") does identify some people who will change their minds, but will rule out others who are also willing to change their minds.

Probably quite a lot of someones if my theory is correct. People can be quite flexible towards someone who is respectful and wants to help them get better outcomes. I've had a instances where I turn out to have convinced someone 24 hours after the fact - and vice-versa.
It would be awesome If I can add easily just the off days number. I'm living in the EU I don't understand the "Time off per 2 Weeks" analogy.
The article's point is not a choice between humanity's going to Mars or not going to Mars. The article makes the case for suspending the mission until we have more information and better answers as to why. These arguments in favor of going to Mars are addressed in the article.
Did they actually care about crimes against humanity? I thought they were worried about the amount of power he had?
For me as a consumer, storing money in a bank is far simpler and more convenient and more likely to not get me burned than it is to store various hardware tokens with various banks (having to physically retrieve them when I actually want a purchase).

So, if the only way to secure BTC is to this cold wallet dance, then it's clear BTC is not a usable store of value compared to USD.
There’s also ceviche which is not exactly raw, but not heated either. Seems like the history of that dish goes way back.

According to a friend of mine who lives in Japan and fits the stereotype "foodie", reality is somewhere in the middle. Farmed Norwegian salmon was indeed seen as a less desirable option for sushi - and apparently still is. According to him, higher end restaurants usually don't serve salmon sushi. He thought the tweet was a bit sensationalistic and pointed to that Norwegian salmon isn't as popular in sushi as the tweet suggests. But there are other ways to prepare fish besides sushi.
I'm skeptical that most people's short-term memory is queue-like. More likely that they are better at remembering earlier stack entries, or that they are simply less neurotic when forgetting about them.

This really is turning obsessive-compulsive responsibility avoidance into a form of performance art.
Purposefully avoiding academic challenge sounds like a poor strategy for grad school success! From my experience, the best students take classes based on interest rather than ease, and they are more prone to overload their schedules (rather than optimize for high GPA).
This tracks with the historic consumption of other species that are also hosts to zoonotic nematodes raw. It's worth noting that wild salmon do have a very high natural prevalence of Anasakid roundworms.. however these aren't microscopic by any means and a sushi chef could easily screen for them.

I think it probably was just about having a consistent, abundant and standardized product rather than highly seasonal and variable wild salmon. You might not be able to beat the right word salmon in the right part of the year if you are are real connoisseur but that isn't amenable to mass consumption. The fat distribution is different as well in a farm raised salmon even if the amount was the same, large visible deposits and it has a very noticable mouth feel and flavour.

Long story short I reckon farm raised salmon took off there for the same reason it has in chain restaurants (cooked) in the US.
Unnecessary comment. 200 000 people applied to Mars One and the ones I read about of the 700 that were accepted were definitely not "insane incels".
Lol, anything that doesn’t say “housing crisis” as the first bullet point clearly was written by someone who does not live in California.
VFX has largely been on Linux workstations since the demise of SGI. There’s never really been a Mac presence at the workstation level at those studios.

Windows is already in many studios due to VR or Virtual Production work, since Unreal Engine kind of sucks on anything that isn’t Windows, and the same goes for VR.

However there are a few areas that Macs are used heavily and where I don’t think Apple need to be worried:

- artists that need to use Adobe products or anything non Linux. Macs offer better Linux like workflows for pipelines since it’s Unix like, so is favoured for pipeline integration and macOS has much better colour handling than windows. So you’ll see in house concept artists, matte painters and the like on macs. VFX editors tend to be on macs for the same reason. Those are the folks that a Mac Pro would be handy for.

- dailies review boxes. Macs again are better for playback and the arm macs are so quiet they’re perfect for a review room. More RAM is always welcome here.

- coordinators and producers are almost always on Mac laptops. They’re unparalleled for battery life in a compact body. Plus since macs need to be supported for the above two use cases, it makes sense to use them as well.

- conform machines to handle media conversions often are macs. Though this depends greatly on what formats are being used
Getting into actix has been made easy by the excellent book - zero to production in rust (especially if you are a beginner in both rust and backend) https://www.zero2prod.com/
It's fairly common to have POST requests that have both a body and a query string. Or maybe not "fairly common" but it isn't really rare.
Some of the comments here are from true believers. It strikes me though how close this all is to religion. Reaching for Mars is equivalent to reaching for heaven.

Now, I know this is based in science etc. But looking at the effect on the emotions, from a cultural perspective, it's interesting.

There is religious fervour there, faith, heaven (Mars), hell (uninhabitable earth), lots of details, priests (NASA and other space agencies), but not much personally verifiable knowledge or experience.

The idea is to establish a self-sustaining colony on Mars during a time of prosperity on Earth, not evacuate anyone when things fall apart. The humans already at the colony would continue the existence of our kind.
I'd like to see who is migrating away, and why. Intuitively I'd say it's housing prices, lay-offs, wages and the increased labour mobility due to remote work.

I think we should bring the full force of the legal system in these cases. And treat the perpetrators extremely harshly. Maybe segregate them from normal system to some separate system with each other.
It would need to be done both ways.

A 1923 student is not going to have read "The Gulag Archipelago" or "Things Fall Apart" or other works published after 1923, so would fail any modern questions which require having read those works.

But even if you look to contemporaneous 1923 literature, I strongly suspect a modern Harvard student is more likely to have read black literature from 100+ years ago than a 1923 student. (For examples see https://histlit.fas.harvard.edu/files/histlit/files/america_... with "Sample Oral Exam Questions" from a modern Harvard exam section on "Being Black After Reconstruction".)

If the 1923 student didn't have to read 75% of what modern literature courses cover, and instead read a different 75%, perhaps with a stronger emphasis on British literature, then of course a 2023 student won't test so well on a 1923 test. But then, a 1923 student wouldn't test so well on a 2023 test.

Even math has some issues. Here's a Harvard entrance exam from 1869: https://graphics8.nytimes.com/packages/pdf/education/harvard...

You can see the math part requires details that aren't taught now:

"Find the amount of £50 12s. 5d. at simple interest at 8 per cent., at the end of 5 years 2 months and 3 days."

"From 1 sq. rod 5 sq. ft. subtract 7 sq yd. 139 sq. in."

The Brits decimalized a half century ago, so kids aren't taught there are 20 shillings in a pound and 12 pennies in a shilling. Only surveyors use rods these days, and it's defined as 16 1/2 US survey feet - which is slightly smaller than the international foot defined in 1959.

Or, "Find the cube root of 0.0093". By hand. We no longer consider that something worthwhile to teach.

They aren't hard, but without that small bit of knowledge or training, modern students are very unlikely to get the right answer.

Or, "State and prove the proportion which exists between the parts of two chords which cut each other in a circle. State what proportion exists when two secants are drawn from a point without the circle." I don't know about you, but my plane geometry isn't good enough to answer that question.

That's due to post-war educational policy changes that de-emphasized classical geometry in favor of calculus.
I try to look at the bright side. It is true that many things that need discussion cannot be discussed online because people slide in moral arguments and derail it. But with an AI one can have a patient/unemotional discussion to see ho w deep the rabbit hole goes. Supposing AI can indeed converse, this will be productive.

But we have to detach social life from this. There is a role for the AI but communication is social and has other purposes. Perhaps we could communicate the results of our introspection with the AI, though
It's almost as if universities should devise a decent curriculum with the proper goals for the program, then design courses to properly teach those, and then design tests to measure to what degree a student actually meets the curriculum's goal. But hey, who am I kidding?
> Would you also say "shame on you" to anyone who procreates in a country with a lower standard of living than the wealthier countries on this planet?

I would not hesitate to do so to any parents that leave a perfectly functional society to raise children as subsistence farmers in an smog-choked, irradiated, arid clime. Opting to raise your children under worse conditions than those one grew up under, and has access to is despicable and selfish.
All the old school companies (GM/Boeing/GE/etc) had a cutoff of 3.0-3.2 GPA to interview. So my GPA was a major issue.
I mistakenly read the title as "can't fly" instead of "can": I read the whole article waiting for the answer of why birds cannot fly over the Everest. Of course that answer didn't came but I learned some interesting things from it. I'd like to see/read more such "So so stories", they're perfect for gainining basic awareness about a topic, bird lungs for example.
Tile based rendering wouldn’t matter for VFX work. They use path tracing. Nobody is really using rasterizers except for viewports, where it’s rare to be pushing so many polys that you’d bog down the GPU first (you’d almost always hit memory limits or CPU limits first dealing with that many transforms).

I’m not sure I agree that a TBDR is bad for high poly counts. There’s nothing inherent to the architecture that I can think of that would limit it for pure polygon work. Usually the biggest hold up is full screen effects that need to work on the entire buffer but those are rare for VFX.

What? Why? I would say 5% is too many. Maybe less.
It's necessary in some things, for example I made an app for myself where I have words/sentences spoken by text to speech, something like 12000 words/sentences, both in a normal speed and a slow speaking speed. That would be very difficult for me to do with natural voices as that would require some human to read these words/sentences, not to mention how expensive it would be, when I was able to do it for free with AI.

There are some things where AI voices absolutely ruin it, but it's not always a requirement for "emotions" to be felt in the speech we're listening to.
"Broadcast videos of basketball games there" is the best proposed export I have seen. But the moon is better for that.
One question is whether you want to use grades for validating knowledge or for ranking.

You can say that A or B means pass (much easier for professors), or that 8/20 means pass and you have the whole spectrum from 0 to 20 to rank candidates if needed.

Nowadays, with international recruiting, I think grades becomes insignificant (graduates come from too many institutions, and grades aren't comparable) and companies need their own ranking metrics (hence the infamous leetcode questions).
Cultural appropriation is nonsense.
Probably most of what we are is a result of cross-pollination of cultures.

When tweets become "articles" the problem isn't really twitter, but suggests the reader may have trouble correctly describing their process of finding things out.

When reading this twitter thread I was intrigued so I:

- Looked at the export numbers
- Asked a couple of friends of mine (one in Japan and one who works in the norwegian salmon industry)
- Did a few searches for news coverage about salmon exports to Japan and read a couple of articles while skimming half a dozen more.
- Found a master thesis describing "Project Japan" which I've downloaded and will read when I get back from work tonight.

"Reading articles on twitter" isn't a thing.
To clarify, I meant that we would inevitably do so when we live on Mars. But good observation - it is certainly not inevitable overall at this point in time.
I use a MacBook Pro and hook it up to a Thunderbolt dock + external screen at whatever desk I’m working.

It’s more convenient than a Mac Mini, since I have the same machine everywhere.
I don’t know about good or bad, but I have a practical example of where rebinding variables necessitates rethinking the language a little. Erlang uses pattern matching for all variable assignments, where unbound variables are assigned and already assigned variables are used for pattern matching, returning an error if the pattern matching fails. In that particular context, allowing rebinding a variable change the language. Elixir behaves like Erlang but supports rebinding, so variables you wish to keep around need to be annotated with a “pin” character.

I prefer the Erlang way, I find it to fairly nicely solve a problem with the only downside being that I can’t rebind variables, which encourages me to write smaller functions. And the language use fewer tokens, which is an nice if you ever want to parse it for some reason.

From the study, in-person schooling increases teen suicides by 12-18%. Is this fatality rate acceptable on the basis that it's "very necessary" to socialize the remaining children in this way? Is there evidence that kids in online classes wouldn't have "grown up"?

I find this line of thinking abhorrent. If it will reduce suicides by 15%, in-person schooling should be stopped outright until someone fixes what's wrong with it.
I had to replace my 27-inch iMac anyway (it just died). But I agree with you, I haven’t found a display as good as the iMac’s that isn’t €1500. I settled with what was supposed to be one of the best Dells for that size (4K, which is itself a compromise); the viewing angles are suboptimal and luminosity is not that great.
Isn’t the effect small but the significance good?

So mutable state is not bad, as long as it is "encapsulated"?

I thought (from what I've read so far) that "no mutable state" is the definition of "pure FP".

So should the definition of pure FP be "No un-encapsulated mutable state"? Instead state must always be "encapsulated". Where can I read more on this? Thanks
> It's a bit weird to refer to the attorney general of the USVI as "the government", that's something you'd generally associate with the federal government.

People have different experiences, of course, but I'm confident that it's commonplace - and correct - to refer to any such party as "the government". Ask an attorney.
