On one hand, incineration is the only reasonable method of destroying these kind of compounds. Properly run incineration plants burn the waste so hot that everything is atomized which is exactly what you want. Break the molecular bonds to break down those toxic compounds.

On the other hand, I understand the negative reactions. Burning trash has never seemed pleasant, and in this case particularly I can see how it might sound to a person in that community; the government again trying to 'solve' the problem by lighting it on fire. Is that their solution to everything? Bridge is in disrepair? Incinerate the bridge. Bear on the loose? Incinerate the bear. An orphan got lost in the park? Incinerate the orphan. Is fire their solution to everything? Well in this case, fire really is the solution. But public perception is a reality that needs to be considered.

Anyway, this whole affair is being made much worse by politicians listening to the experts and being tone deaf to public perception. A little bit more performative care would go a long way to making the public feel as though their problems aren't being brushed under the rug. Biden should have visited that town weeks ago.

I have been with her now 4x. I have talked about my upbringing and that that is the motivation why I came to see her. Then the breakup happened, so the last two times we talked about that.

Apparently she is specialised for adult children of complicated parents. And apparently next time we will do some questionnaire or something. So far we have only talked and she suggested one book ("iRest - Healing PTSD") which I started reading. She is supportive, but so far she mostly said I should find things I like doing, join sports clubs, try mindfulness and basic stuff like that. I know that my issues run deeper.
Burning random manufactured stuff makes dioxins. It would be astonishing if there weren't dioxins in the soil before the accident and some more after it.

This being the rural United States, burn barrels for household waste were a thing for most of a century and spewed dioxin and a lot of other stuff all over the place. You can find lots of studies for background levels of dioxin.

It isn't a binary "Is there dioxin?" There certainly is. The question is, is it elevated above background? Is it elevated about established safe levels? If you run it through that nearby incinerator, will the dispersed plume raise land above acceptable levels?

The EPA has experience with dioxin sites and incineration. They bought a town of 800 people, demolished everything, hauled all the surface dirt to a site-built incinerator and over the course of a year incinerated everything and built a mound out of it. The locals were vocally aggrieved that the incineration was done near them. Its now a nice park for bicycle riding on flat land by a river.
There are plenty of ways of managing multiple buffers, and tabs is... just one of them, and, it's just not good... Complaining about it just means you don't understand how to use the editor you are complaining about. These tabs are for people who come from another editor and think they need tabs. Similar to how you can have scrollbars or panels with buttons to do things in Emacs, but they aren't there to improve editing experience, they are there to help the inexperienced to transfer their experience from other editors onto the new one.

> What's the connection?
> Complaining about it just means you don't understand how to use the editor you are complaining about.

I must admit, I'm pretty confused here.

I'm not complaining about tabs?

> There are plenty of ways of managing multiple buffers, and tabs is... just one of them, and, it's just not good

What do you use for managing multiple buffers? Do you not care about distinguishing one projects buffers from any other project?

> These tabs are for people who come from another editor and think they need tabs.

The tabs in emacs are different than the ones in vscode. In emacs terms there is only one window containing one buffer you cannot change per tab.

tab == buffer in vscode

> Similar to how you can have scrollbars or panels with buttons to do things in Emacs, but they aren't there to improve editing experience, they are there to help the inexperienced to transfer their experience from other editors onto the new one.

I used to think this, but my mind was changed after seeing many experienced emacs users that do prefer using scrollbars, buttons, or the new context-menu-mode.

emacs is about freedom in a lot of ways including how you use emacs, not some "ur a noob if you use the mouse" type thing.

> they are there to help the inexperienced to transfer their experience from other editors onto the new one.

People vary. For someone disabled, it's possible that in many scenarios using the mouse is faster for them than the keyboard. So the fact they use the mouse doesn't make them inexperienced.

There is utility in these features and they don't purely exist to bridge the gap for new users coming into emacs.

A friend of mine calls this Suffering Theology. Anything that might bring pleasure is bad. It's why so many medical justifications had to be made to make marijuana legal. It's why we have to say "oh, shrooms heal depression" or whatever shit before we can decriminalize.

it has nothing to do with server side business logic. It's simply that javascripts package manager, npm, was widely adopted to server / node needs. And then the notorious "node_modules" folder, which was before handled by server compilation, became a part of clientside dev too because it had so many goodies in it, so now the client was de facto having to do the same build as the server, so, by "server side code", I think it's safe to say what they mean is "node modules".
By your logic, then, we are all children, because at one time we all experienced childhood.

While "felon" may be useful in some cases, like describing someone who is currently serving time for a felony, it's a lot less useful as time goes on. And this goes for a lot of language that is used to describe a transitory state but ends up labeling the individual and making a separate class of them. This is why you see the shift from "the homeless" to "people experiencing homelessness." It may seem unfamiliar and cumbersome, but it's also more accurate and humane.
Yes John Carmack is working on it. My understanding is that it's mostly (all?) by himself, with $20M, anticipating ~60% chance by 2030, and by applying old methods that didn't work with ~1MHz computers but that might work with modern desktop computers. Personally I think it's clear that large language models will scale to get human level language abilities, when you look at the curve of capabilities they have been unlocking, and if you believe that chip efficiency and model training expertise and capital expenditure will all increase.
I use PyQt to write an entire interface to my self-built microscope. It's awesome. Personally, i design the UI in Qt Designer, then wire it up in code. The absolute gem of gems in Qt is the Graphics View Framework, which is a retained scene graph for 2D rendering with extraordinary power and performance. I can do realtime work with the scope including image processing all from python but at C++ speeds.

From a user perspective, it can look like indeterminate or unexpected behavior - the set of environment variables available within the tmux session depends on the state of the world at the time the tmux server was started, as opposed to when the session was started. The tmux server may start when the session starts, or it may have started much earlier - as a user, unless you're aware of this behavior and paying attention, you won't know.

Other posters are right that the "correct" workflow is to set all your environment variables explicitly within the session before launching whatever process you're running, but on an ad-hoc basis, I've often found myself logged into a server and thinking "this may take a long time, I should run this in a tmux session," and this kind of behavior would have (and probably has) bitten me in that case.
I have nwber thought if that, they can convert engineering problem into and economics problem.
Further devaluation of our holistic humanity. We already define ourselves largely by the functions we perform in society, but at least current class distinctions are still mostly social. Imagine how much worse it would be if people could literally be bred for certain functions. An engineer will always be a engineer because their traits were optimized for that. A ditch digger will always be a ditch digger because their parents couldn’t afford the engineer package at Build-A-Baby.

I can think of few worlds more dystopian than one where there’s a causal, quantifiable relationship between wealth and biological superiority.

A product doesn’t have to be “useful” to have a market. People genuinely felt a hard loss after Bing was sanitized, and hadn’t much interest in the new Bing anymore. The emotionality and unhingedness was a feature. While merely amusing for some, for others it brought a freshness and met an emotional need in their life that otherwise would remain unfulfilled.
> Isn’t that incompatible by the very nature that we are aware of our daydreams? I.e., it can’t be subconscious if we’re aware of it. Perhaps you mean daydreaming is when subconscious thoughts transition to conscious awareness?

I don't see how that is different from you being aware of your dreams. Daydreams aren't controlled by you, there is another process you aren't aware of that is feeding you the daydream. Also usually when you daydream you stop being aware of your surroundings, like when walking etc, so some process has to take over that as well. I'm talking about those processes.
That's a major gap, there's no third party oversight, and they have all kinds of incentives to fudge the testing in their favor, including how they collect the samples, what's done in the labs, etc.

If criminal investigative agencies have been caught faking DNA results in criminal cases (SBI lab in NC) because there was a conflict of interest between prosecuting cases and the defendent, you certainly can't trust corporations.
The automation of telephone systems didn't make front desk workers "PABX assistants" or even "PABX Operators", the automation became a tool and faded into the background.

It almost certainly will become really cheap to do this in the future.

This is something I hope the government can step in and help with. Maybe really low/no interest loans for first time home buyers so they can at least get into the market. Maybe that exists? Income limits need to account for up to date salaries. I'm not rich or wealthy just because I had a couple years of making 250k. I still have loans and im still burning up cash on renting. Taxes take away a ton of that income. Some guy making 70k making these rules probably thinks im rubbing shoulders with Leonardo Deicaprio at parties because making more then 200k is so unfathomable to the average person, it seems like wealth.

Rent situation needs help to. Were just throwing away cash on low quality rentals. A 2br in my complex over the last year is now listed at 1.5k more then a year and half ago. 3k to 4.5k. "Thats what the market wants" or something stupid is the reason, but these are not 1.5k better then it was before. How is this not price gouging? If i want to move I have to burn even more cash? Rent control keeps give me a rate under market now so there is no reason to move. Even that was some how allowed to be nearly a 10% increase. The only option is to buy to get away from this crazyness. Falling behind no matter what.

I don't get how these insane markets are allowed to exist with no regulation on necessary needs for people. IDK what else to do besides take my american cash somewhere where I am extremely ahead settle down there and chill.
The difference with this situation is that the responsible parties still exist while we're aware of the problem. They are who should be paying for the complete cost of cleanup, remediation, and damages to bystanders and property. Letting them slip out of the full liability with token or estimated damages, resume fraudulently transferring profits to shareholders, and putting the site in the back of the publicly funded queue is exactly what we don't want to happen.

It's a terrible dynamic to rely on post-facto financial enforcement on business people that are mentally incapable of understanding what they've done wrong (as opposed to say proactive regulation that would have prevented this entirely preventable derailment, and separately prevented the deliberate chemical release), but it's all we've got right now.
iirc it was the spellchecker. My memory is fuzzy and unreliable but what it's claiming is that the first version on his webpage had that bug, he fixed it, and later I pointed out another bug of the same type. Or something like that!

> When I was in Peru coca tea was available everywhere for literally pennies.

Just for the sake of adding to this comparison: it takes 300 kilos of coca leaves to make 1 kilo of cocaine[1]. The coca leaf tea to cocaine analog, is somewhat like comparing extremely diluted orange juice (which has a natural amount of alcohol) with Everclear (96% proof).

Most major news outlets were reporting on the derailment shortly after, and yet I see this narrative continually being pushed that nobody reported on it. Yes, we should blame people for pushing such an easily debunked conspiracy theory. The reality is that we live in the social media era, and nobody knew or cared about the derailment until some people screamed about a black cloud on a viral TikTok clip.

People should be held to a bare minimum expectation to inform themselves properly before acting as if our government and media are horrendously corrupt.

The most credible explanation to me -- and one that makes logical sense, is that dreaming is about processing the day's events -- possibly for learning, or committing to memory (same thing basically?).

The answer is obvious isn't it.

If gene editing can make a human smarter & better looking, then you're dooming your own children to a lifetime of inferiority if you have them naturally. Unlike tech or drug enhanced people, there is no way to detect a genetically enhanced person. So they'd be in your midst, better than you in every way, while you'd be stuck with the realization that there is nothing you can do in this life to change your inferiority to these neo-humans.

You're getting a lot of excellent advice here. I feel similarly to you and have been through my own troubles that have seemed quite immense to me.
