> No ORM. Sucks having to learn a new ORM every project.

I don't quite follow your logic. ORMs provide a lot of critical features for free right out of the box which take a lot of time and effort to roll out by hand. Database migrations are perhaps the hardest to get right, for example. Why do you believe that the trivial job of onboarding onto a ORM is too much to handle, but manually rolling out and maintaining and debugging hand-written code is somehow an acceptable loss of productivity?
In France, everyone seems to have a Moulinex; and I've never heard anyone complain about theirs.

I'm very happy with mine ("Moulinex Pain Plaisir"), though I'm slightly annoyed some programs (kneading-only and baking-only) cannot be put on a timer.

I live in a semi-rural area. There's no utility gas near me; we're too sparse for that to make sense. I'd guess most of the houses have big propane tanks (i've got two 250 gallon tanks) and there's several different companies that will come out and fill the tanks. In the nearby urban area, there's utility gas, but then they're trying to outlaw that for indoor air quality reasons.

I don't have utility water; it's available on my street, but it doesn't run by my house, it stops at a much lower elevation, our well water is fine (although we had to replace the well pump recently which was expensive). No utility sewer either, that's available in parts of my area, but mostly places with density or poor site conditions for septic or both.

Electricity is mostly overhead, with a little bit of underground telephone has a lot of undergrounding, but some overhead, cable and municipal fiber are almost all overhead. But when those are undergrounded here, they're on the sides of the road (directly under the overhead path) not under the road. That way it's easier to get to them for maintenance when needed.
Sure, there are different asset classes that might be OK, but if you look across the landscape, bonds are still quite nice to have.

Bonds are just converting today's money to future cashflow.

TIPS are inflation adjusted bonds, so you can get a real return > 0% with bonds, guaranteed by the US govt. For baseline retirement expenses, it's hard to beat. Right now they are up over 3%/yr real. You can't buy inflation adjusted annuities anymore, basically Social Security is it.

If one has 50X expenses invested, it doesn't really matter what they do, they would be hard pressed to screw it up so badly as to run out.

If one only has 20X yearly expenses invested, they need to be a lot more careful, as they might not make it, especially if they get a bad sequence of returns.

It all depends on your personal financial situation, it's hard to make general rules that can apply to everyone. It's called personal finance for a reason.

Bonds are just a great default tool, but like all tools, they are not perfect.

> The team, which also included researchers from Niigata University and Nishi Kyushu University in Japan and Brazil’s Londrina State University, had groups of people perform three different types of dumbbell curl exercise and measured the results.

First of all, I've been lifting for many years and I haven't done dumbbell curls in a decade. And to be honest, you probably shouldn't be doing isolation exercises unless you don't mind risking injury and joint inflammation in the long-term. For those who don't do bodybuilding but real training (that's going to be squat, press and deadlift, pullups and variations of these), this is sort of junk science. No one serious uses a "leg press" - another injury-prone nightmare (do you value your lower back and are you something other than a football player?). He mentions (overhead / strict) press and perhaps there's something to try there with negatives, if one is extremely conservative and not an olympic weightlifter. Negative pullups are a thing, that's been known by the calisthenics community for ages, but only as a variation.

>It found those who only lowered a weight saw the same improvements as those who raised and lowered weights — despite only performing half the number of repetitions.

No shit. That's because eccentric exercises are far more fatiguing for the muscles. It's not something you can do all the time without burning yourself out and damaging your training progress long-term ("long-term" not being a key feature of this junk science study).
Fair enough. But you can get pretty close if you draw a 10x10 with 4 squares on the sides parallel to the graph. Or 5x5 with 3 on each side. The former is 6% over and the latter 6% under. And if you go juust a hair outside of the lines you're dead on. Such as a pencil tip's width off of the ruler.

I just worked that out with a calculator, but I'm fairly sure I worked that out empirically while bored in math class one year. My very wise teacher put me and the other bored kid way to the opposite side of the classroom from where his chalkboard was and looked the other way when we played 'squares' in class, safely out of the peripheral vision of any of the other kids. Probably the only time I ever dared 'pass notes' in class.

I used eccentric muscle contractions to gain enough strength to do pull-ups when I was too weak to do even one. I stood on a chair to get into the top position, then lowered myself as slowly as I could. The exercise was effective, and after a few weeks I could do full pull-ups without the chair.
Agreed!

I've only flown in a little plane once. It was pretty windy that day and the feeling from getting pushed around was pretty strange and totally unlike the normal turbulence you feel on a regular jetliner. I'd compare it to being in a small car in the highway when it's really windy out and you can feel the wind pushing you around. The pilot let me get on the yoke for a bit while we were over some water and it was nothing like what I had expected from my previous experience playing casual flight simulators. It was fun being up there but I've got zero interest in becoming a pilot, way too much for my ADHD brain to handle.

At part of Europe, roads were always maintened. Maybe with more local that country-wide focus sometimes.
The feudalism may not caused by road system efficiency. Good roads on a empire splitted by succession are still no match to fast manoeuvrable drakkar raiders.

Local power and defence is needed... leading to another important parameter. Size of empires is proportional to time of travel and relative defensive strength of the remote area.

If the entire windshield can be turned into a display you could have a car with the first version of "Joo Janta 200 Super-Chromatic Peril Sensitive Sunglasses" but in windshield form. If the car detects it's about to get into an accident it can block you from seeing the outside world or maybe display a happy field of flowers.
I learned with Justin almost 15(?) years ago. The man is a legend and he's still going strong. Lots of great content.
Similar thought. Article states you can use both arms/legs to lift and one to place down. Both arms to do the curl up, one arm to bring down. Both legs on the the leg press machine up, one down. Butlers likely would also work, but wasn't studied ;)
Not a complete waste of money but I stopped using my car during the pandemic. I'm giving it to my parents and walking more in the neighborhood or a bit of off-hours public transit and ubers/autoshare/car rental/or borrowing the car works well enough and I get much more exercise than with a car.
Of course it doesn't. The rich can afford the specialized labor it takes to make their complicated arrangements legal, or at least legal at face value.

Hey Marcus! I'd like to pitch 3 alternate experiences to skipping college completely. One of these is an option I did, the other two are options I've seen other ambitious people do:

1. Try college, and quit after the first year if you don't like it. The first year of college where you meet other like-minded people is probably the most formative. If you really don't think you can do another 3 years, just walk. You'll join a long line of others who have made this decision and benefited from both. Also colleges often give you the option to come back if you change your mind.

2. Do college in 3 years instead of 4. If you're doing this level of work, you should be able to test out of a lot of classes. Do that, then pick and choose exactly what you need to get the experience you want. Use that time to meet others who do similar work and meet faculty who can materially help your journey. Then leave and get a head start on your career.

3. Take on other genuinely challenging work during your 4 years. Pack them to the gills with other things you are passionate about but you know are hard. Are you interested in nuclear energy? chemistry? nanotechnology? quantum computing? abstract algebra? a complete history of the logistics of the franco-prussian war? sitting a L1 constitutional grad course? grad-level proof writing for surface theory? do it. Try it. See if you like it, and show your ambition to faculty who can help you. Then leave after 4 years knowing you can do anything.

In the meantime travel, meet others, etc, and find out if this is actually what you want to do with your career. You'd be surprised you might change your mind, or just find something better. Or if anything, become that much more sure.

Good luck.
No, I own a property that I exclusively rent long-term. So I don’t have an interest in short term rentals, except as a traveler that likes to use them.
This is pretty awesome news!

I’m happy to see them doing well. I remember playing DF a bit in college and just blown away by the devs and their undying love for the game, all whilst doing it for free no doubt.
This article is a perfect example of

1. An academic publishes an extremely limited study, group size is 14 people that haven't exercised much, they do a single exercise, and they mention eccentric-only is particularly useful for rehabilitation. They make no outrageous claims whatsoever, they just put more numbers to something that is widely known and has been measured before.

2. Some popular news outlet wants to get clicks and runs away with it by making super general fitness advice out of it that's total nonsense. But you know, it's backed by Science (!) now.
Larger animals tend to have larger brains than smaller animals. If you divide the actual brain size of an animal by the size of brain an average animal that size would have, you get the "encephalization quotient". If you rank some common animals by encephalization quotient, most of the resulting order probably isn't surprising to many people:

Human: 7.4 - 7.8
Dolphins: 5.3
Chimps: 2.2 - 2.5
Ravens: 2.49
Dog: 1.2
Cat: 1.0

Some of them are surprising:

Mouse: 0.5
Rat: 0.4

Rats are certainly smarter than mice, so this analysis is obviously limited. Still, it seems to generally give expected results.

The "negative" or eccentric component's contribution to hypertrophy has been well known since the 80's. I took a look at the linked journal and zeroed in on the cohort.

"A total of 53 (25 male and 28 female) healthy university students ... who ... had not performed a structured resistance training in the past 6 months, participated in the present study." Ok; so, totally untrained/detrained individuals. This lends less credence to the usefulness of this study.

This study doesn't contribute to the advancement of exercise science and ignores neuromuscular adaptations, the stretch-shortening cycle, and/or lactate threshold effects of non-eccentric muscle contractions.

Depending on your sport or personal goals, a mix of different time-under-tension parameters and rest periods will get people closer to their desired health goals. The eccentric phase is just one part of the equation.

Saying this is "all you need to do" is wrong. The curious should examine the syllabus of the NSCA CSCS program.
I am unsure how tangled the relationships are as what you're saying can be strictly true, but I doubt that this has nothing to do with weapons related simulation.

Here's the most recent report to congress, published in March 2022 about the Stockpile Stewardship and Management Plan,

Near-Term and Out-Year Mission Goals:
◼ Advance the innovative experimental platforms, diagnostic equipment, and computational capabilities necessary to ensure stockpile safety, security, reliability, and effectiveness:
– Achieve exascale computing by delivering an exascale-capable machine and modernizing the nuclear weapons code base
– Develop an operational enhanced capability (advanced radiography and reactivity measurements) for subcritical experiments
– Quantify the effects of plutonium aging on weapon performance over time
– Assure an enduring, trusted supply of strategic radiation-hardened microsystems

and,

The weapons comprising the U.S. nuclear stockpile are assessed to be safe, reliable, effective, and secure. DOE/NNSA’s scientific infrastructure is currently adequate to support stockpile actions. The DOE/NNSA plans to address near-term gaps in required scientific capabilities by deploying the DOE/NNSA’s first exascale computing platform in fiscal year (FY)2023 and by improving capabilities to conduct subcritical experiments through the Enhanced Capabilities for Subcritical Experiments project by FY 2026.

It seems they're building three of these computers, Frontier is one of them, from the budget requests and a press release,

The budget request for Advanced Simulation and Computing increased to support pursuing new validated integrated design codes and advanced high-performance computing capabilities, including the El Capitan exascale system procurement.

The press release,

Featuring advanced capabilities for modeling, simulation and artificial intelligence (AI), based on Cray’s new Shasta architecture, El Capitan is projected to run national nuclear security applications at more than 50 times the speed of LLNL’s Sequoia system. Depending on the application, El Capitan will run roughly 10 times faster on average than LLNL’s Sierra system, currently the world’s second most powerful supercomputer at 125 petaflops of peak performance. Projected to be at least four times more energy efficient than Sierra, El Capitan is expected to go into production by late 2023, servicing the needs of NNSA’s Tri-Laboratory community: Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Los Alamos National Laboratory and Sandia National Laboratories

El Capitan will be DOE’s third exascale-class supercomputer, following Argonne National Laboratory’s "Aurora" and Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s "Frontier" system. All three DOE exascale supercomputers will be built by Cray utilizing their Shasta architecture, Slingshot interconnect and new software platform.

It does seem to me that it's an accurate assessment to say that this project exists because of the nuclear weapons research mandate.

In information retrieval, this is known as a "known item search".

To lower the weights, you first have to lift them..
The VPC-1's weight is, from what I can tell, reasonable given the action it uses. Its bizarrely named "RM3II action" is much closer to the Grand Feel action they put in their high-end digital uprights than to normal portable digital piano actions. Also, the ES920 is significantly lighter than its competitors.

Technically, before the ideologically-charged forced meme took over, both masculine товарищ tovarišč and feminine товарка tovarka were in use for “comrade”, but only the former was chosen for the newspeak as a gender-neutral title, in line with the Revolution’s professed equal-rights ideals. (Yes, seriously. Of course, the Revolution’s professed ideals at a particular time and place are to be distinguished from its ideals next year, the next town over, or indeed its actual goals or consequences.) The forcing was so effective that the title now only remains in military regulations, the ideology being both out of fashion and rarely relevant, and even the original generic term has essentially fallen out of use with no real replacement (I understand “comrade” in English has also suffered as a result).

I’d say titles are a red herring, though,—unlike e.g. Polish, Russian doesn’t really use them outside a few exceptions (a news article might refer to Professor $SURNAME, a letter might be addressed to Master Ambassador), and essentially never to address somebody in person. That role traditionally falls to $NAME $PATRONYMIC (thanks to the Varangians), though you might hear $NAME nowadays as well.

The problem is that every adjective, numeral, or possessive that attaches to a noun and every pronoun that refers to it depend on whether the noun is {{{animate,inanimate} {masculine,feminine},neuter} singular,plural} and which case it is in. (Unlike in Romance languages, plural forms are not gendered.) Having a grammatical gender is not optional, and being neuter means that you are either dead or were never alive to begin with. (The converse is not true: тело telo “body” is neuter, труп trup “corpse” is inanimate masculine, мертвец mertvec “dead man or woman” is animate masculine. The sex of the diseased makes no difference.)

Common nouns that refer to people—professions, roles, demonyms, agents, patients, etc.—are usually either masculine only whatever the referent or have separate masculine and feminine forms following one of a half-dozen patterns. (This is no Slovak, a single feminine suffix would be much too simple.) Many are formed from other words by productive or long-fossilized but still recognized rules. None can be gender-neutral.
I'm glad you felt comfortable with that situation, but not all are like that. Sometimes the involvement is very nominal and unnecessary and there can be unintentional side effects that aren't always obvious, in a form of "attribution manipulation." I can think of situations where a researcher is basically "joining" projects whenever possible to attach their name to it in a form of branding. When a junior person comes along with their own original idea, even without the need of the senior person being involved, if the senior person is on the paper that senior person tends to "suck up" undue credit.

I think sometimes the credit is deserved, but there are times when credit for papers tends to gravitate toward certain individuals who are better at managing public perceptions of citations.

Gravity isn't a bad analogy: people with large citation counts tend to accumulate more, and perceived credit gets taken away from other individuals, even if subconsciously. I think it leads to a grossly distorted idea of how credit is distributed.

I suspect this varies a lot but in my experience these large papers with many many researchers involved authorship is very murky in all sorts of ways. People with prominent authorships might not even deserve to be on the paper at all, and people who are lost in the sea might have actually made a significant contribution.
