I really loved ssb and even ran my own instance at one point but found the reference implementation hard to replicate based on the documentation at the time and the network itself seemed somewhat unscaleable. As I recall, your client keeps a full record of posts and so after following a modest number of people my local storage grew to several gigabytes. When I was running the server, it needed regular restarting to keep things operational.
I've worked on a team which rotated the "daily support" tasks, which included on-call duty during those 7 days.

I've heard it's cheaper, but the half-life is so short that just to keep the withdrawal symptoms at bay, addicts need to dose more often than if they're using heroine, oxycodone, etc.
Mathematicians hijacked numbers.

Computer scientist don't accept noncomputable objects. Mathematicians do.

To a scientist, existence means "you, or someone, can find it, at least potentially". To a non-constructive mathematician (the common kind) existence means "you can't prove it doesn't exist, and I choose to believe it does, at least in the current game I am playing."

Mathematicians use the term "real numbers" to describe precisely the set of numbers you get when you take all the numbers that could plausibly be computed, and then declare that all the holes between numbers we can individually compute/describe are completely full of numbers. This is justified because you can't prove that any specific one of them is impossible to write.

(But there are some so called "real" numbers that are impossible to calculate, even approximately, like Chaitin's constant
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaitin%27s_constant but you could write it in infinite time if God told you the digits.)
Banach Tarski, in some sense, really can't make sense in the universe because the Universe is... discreteish, as you can't get smaller than the Planck Lenth (1.6 x 10^(-35)), and while that's very small, as far as maths is concerned that means the number of "identifiable points" in a sphere of any finite size is itself finite, not even a countable infinity.

I realise that's all very dodgy, but of course we are also bringing in quantum mechanics -- but I consider it enough to say Banach Tarski doesn't apply :)
It's pretty funny though, that people so recently talked of labour shortages, but are now, saying, not with their mouths, but with money, the opposite-- across both Google, Spotify and some others, that there are a whole 6% too many.

It's even funnier in Swedish, because the word for redundancies, is arbetsbrist, 'shortage of work'.
“I don’t really recall but it was some terrible thing like giving sex toys to kids but I don’t remember really. I can definitely see why they’re doing this though!”
Are they completely non-curated? Kids just put whatever book they want there? If so I'd say the teacher isn't liable for what happens. If the teachers put the books or manages which books are there they are curated and that activity can be managed by the people paying the teacher, ie the taxpayers/representatives.
math is not only about computation, counting or calculation.
Yes people take fentanyl intentionally.

The real heroin, the real opioid pills, and other forms of opioids have mostly dried up. Now we get fentanyl and fentanyl analogs, and other potent synthetic opioids that aren't well tracked. The reason is that it's extremely potent so it's easier to smuggle from China, Mexico, wherever it's being made.

So now you get "pressies" [homemade pressed pills] which is diluted fentanyl. Everyone knows it's fentanyl. Everyone knows you can't get real heroin in the US anymore. They know these fake pills aren't real. Even worse, when the fentanyl dries up they start cutting it with xylazine and other bullshit that narcan doesn't even work on.

Research areas such as Kensington and the blighted areas of Baltimore. There's videos on youtube showing just how many users are out on the streets. You can imagine how many more are still not down to that level yet. You can also look at the opioid and drug subreddits. It's all fent and everyone wishes they could get their impure crappy brown heroin back.
You probably got books from the library then or brought them from home. Which isn't affected by this law from what I can tell. I think I read a book from a "classroom library" like once during school while I was loaning books from our actual library non-stop. Wouldn't have affected me at all.
In this case, it's to make the potential consequences so severe everyone takes the extremely careful approach, to the detriment of the students.

See also: vague abortion bans, where doctors have to wait for conditions to become acutely life-threatening before removing dead fetuses.
States do this with all sorts of other laws. Look at the tax code in states for example. This isn't really unique.
So what you're saying is, rather than have actual data or even a single concrete anecdote, you're happy just passing along word-of-mouth gossip when we already know that the people pushing for these laws are happy outright lying about their intent.
I definitely find paper maps are better (for me) for planning long trips and I always keep a set in the car for places I normally go. (Basically, the east coast of the US.) GPS is fantastic for last-mile directions/where exactly is that house sorta thing, but "best" route for me is rarely shortest path, and it's just easier to visualize on a big paper map.
Watch this therapy disable the painkilling potential of every opioid in the body, including natural opioids.
I wonder if it would have been possible to ‘bribe’ blockbuster executives into making such decisions. As much as Blockbuster was prepared to pay them to do their jobs I’m sure Netflix would have offered them more to not do their jobs. An indirect/legal way to do this would simply be to poach talent away with good offers, easy to do when you’re poised for substantial growth.
The last paragraph of this article explains that the rest of the article is kind of FUD or at least something to try to understand about why one county is taking a different interpretation than the rest.

> This interpretation of the law runs directly counter to the arguments the DeSantis administration is making in court. In federal court filings, lawyers representing DeSantis insist that the Parental Rights in Education Act does not apply to library books. Nevertheless, the DeSantis administration, through its media specialist training, is encouraging a much more expansive interpretation of the law.

That falls into the 99.999% of cases. It's a simple binary outcome: torture will work in a particular case or it won't. It almost certainly won't work for this or any number of other reasons, but in the scenario described, it's all you've got.

If you choose to torture the suspect, you're the bad guy, and the only way you can come back from a crime of that nature is by successfully saving the city. Any other outcome should bring a lifetime of punishment as a warning to the next person who thinks torture is a good idea "just this once."

Anyway, this has gone off the rails. Mass surveillance, like torture, is so abhorrent that it is justifiable only in cases where someone has reached deep into a barrel of worn-out Hollywood clichés. When those vanishingly-rare cases arise in real life, they will always have to be judged individually based on outcome. The law should not admit either tactic, not even in the defense of entire populations.

I'd also suggest that, once you _do_ feel comfortable enough to step foot into NixOS territory, that you start off by version-controlling your configuration. It doesn't necessarily have to be public, but I've found it very helpful in the past when I've had to debug various issues due to misconfiguration by me.

Well, if the story is engrossing enough (The Fall of Civilizations podcast's episode about the Aztecs/Mechica, for example), then one episode turns into a week-long series of listening sessions and sets a great mood for the whole week. If it all works out well.

In English Library can just mean a collection of books, so you can talk about some person's "library" to mean their book collection. When people talk about a classroom library they're really meaning the collection of books in a classroom.

That being said school libraries in America do tend to be walk in places where you can pick something up to read.

> widespread agreement

There isn't widespread agreement. That's how we got here. Parents are disagreeing with teachers as to what material they want in front of their kids.

The book I referred to earlier described using sex toys and had an add to get them. This is in a library for kids aged 5-10ish. People were arguing in support of the book being in that library.

Who gets to choose what's appropriate?
Can you take a break, pause and come back to it? I'm asking because I was thinking the response to why not might be interesting.
And you do what if a kid does it? Send the kid to jail? Good luck with that. Send the teacher to jail? Good luck with that too. Confiscate kid's e-reader? Olalala, that's heaven for the kid's family lawyer, gonna milk from the state 1M USD in a blink.
Guild-owned technology, created with human-aligned intentions (as opposed to greed-aligned). Human-centric tech is superior to capital-centric tech.

Open source is basically this in a naive and unorganized way, especially when MIT licensed (a giant con in my opinion). GNU does much better. But if there existed a guild license connected to tech and patents that are must haves, it would tip the balance.

The guild would offer objective security to a worker — health insurance, income insurance, and legal backing, with intentions aligned entirely with the worker. It provides a behemoth aligned with maximizing the rights and income of a worker. That would do a whole lot in attracting people to join.

GH actions has been great for us for CI but incredibly opaque when you're trying to diagnose problems. Simple jobs running on the gh hosted runners are fine, but we have a large pool of self-hosted runners running more complex workflows, and whenever things go sideways the answer is usually "did you try restarting all of them?"
Hopefully this is helpful, at least someone is investing in making gh actions work for larger organizations.
It seems like payments is traveling the inverse of the shipping/delivery route: first build in-house, then add on other fulfillment partners that are able to handle certain payments better.
Encouraging children to read is not a crime and nobody ever claimed that it was, will be, or should be.
Well that's just it - it's probably supposed to do that. But bugs happen, and a phone could die or break for any number of reasons outside of your control. People on the internet trying to explain why some particular failure that you saw shouldn't happen won't be there when you're stuck with no way to navigate, and their arguments won't be of any use. Paper maps are actually immune to most of these failure modes.
In your specific case - a _channel_ versus a flake _input_ - consider how you're tracking your system configuration. If you have an /etc/nixos/configuration.nix, then your system can be reconstituted _only_ if you have that configuration.nix in addition to the revision that your channel is currently on. Compare this with a system defined in a flake's `nixosConfiguration`, which accepts its version of nixpkgs from the flake's input, so you can rebuild/recreate the system from the flake entirely without needing to piece together other bits of state like the current channel revision/nixpkgs checkout.
It's "common sense" if you're familiar enough with chemistry and biology to realize that melting plastic means some small fraction of it will 'burn' and end up in the air.

On the other hand, many entry-level 3D printers are marketed at... children, effectively. They can make for amazing christmas presents, but there's no guarantee that either parents nor child has any idea how things work at that level. There's been a concerted effort to make such knowledge unnecessary.

All of that being said, PLA fumes are about as safe as it gets. To the best of my understanding it's about on the level of cooking food. For hours, granted, and usually without a fume hood -- but I don't think it's likely to cause health issues.

...

And so long as you stick to PLA or PETG, that's probably fine. Oh, and so long as your printer was built with a quality, all metal heat break, so you never get teflon fumes from scorched PTFE lining. And so long as there's never a thermal runaway that causes fire, and/or it was built with good thermal runaway protection.

These printers are still essentially industrial machinery, no matter how user friendly, and a lack of understanding their failure modes can be really bad.
Is your friend in support engineering truly being interrupted however? I think it has a lot to do with stack depth.

Can you share some examples of what makes payments in India ahead of US or Europe?
I'm gonna attempt to break this down:

- Netflix has 5-6 Billion USD free cash flow, and because they got what debt they do have under favorable terms, they are positioned to retain most of that free cash flow

- Disney, Comcast (Peacock), CBS/Viacom and other media corporations are saddled with debt, and are all losing money on their own independent streaming businesses. Likely untenable in their shareholder model

- Therefore, Netflix needs to do what it can to retain / attract subscribers, but essentially can wait until the other services have to give up due to cost

In a nutshell, Netflix is poised to play more long game, due to cost structures of their competitors.

so fair, sounds good, but it assumes the boards / leadership of these companies won't also play a long game, seeing some sort of profitability horizon is they cannibalize their existing businesses for sticky services (like streaming). I could see Disney doing this, to some extent, with their cable TV channels and movies. I'm less bullish on Comcast/NBC, CBS/Viacom or really any other media company being able to do this, simply because they don't have the "staying power" Disney does.

This also fails to account for the strength of HBO Max (very strong sub numbers)

Two issues with your argument.

First, what time point are you talking about though? Covid has been Jan 2020 to present and the variants arguably represent different diseases. Certainly they have different morbidity and mortality supported by science and evidence (e.g. at some point around omicron it became an upper airway infection).

Two, what’s the clinical outcome you’re referring to? How is attributable death determined? I’m not aware of any evidence to say the most COVID deaths since July 2022 are due to COVID. Particularly as we are not seeing the same clinical signs/changes with the newer variants as we were before.

What is the overwhelming data? There are a lot of observational studies reporting relative risk reduction. What’s the absolute risk of someone < 40 dying or being hospitalized due to omicron? Medical coding is horrendous and these questions are hard to answer with accuracy. I would be cautious with the strength of your statement, this is an ongoing field of study.

As I stated, the initial vaccination recommendation made sense, but when those recommendations were made they were not supported by strong evidence (largely because you can’t obtain evidence in an active pandemic).

I’m not anti-vax, and I support the initial recommendations, particularly given the context in which they were made. There is probably equal quality evidence on whether the booster was actually effective vs triggering temporary immune response boosting short term outcomes when I last updated myself on the literature in the fall (most of the studies measure out to 3 months, which is what we would expect from temporary immune boosting due to exposure). What are the long term risk reductions and is there lasting immunity to support the booster?

Is it sensible to divert human resources to boosters if the effect only lasts a few month and the ARR is minimal? Keeping in mind that diverting nurses to vaccination resulted in cancellation of elective ORs. These are important questions.

Now is the time to do more careful and objective analyses, not to shame or critique Dr. Fauci and co but to inform future decision making.
