should be -sP (which is actaully a deprecated alias for the current -sn option).

o Switched to -Pn and -sn and as the preferred syntax for skipping
ping scan and skipping port scan, respectively. Previously the -PN
and -sP options were recommended. This establishes a more regular
syntax for some options that disable phases of a scan:
+ -n no reverse DNS
+ -Pn no host discovery
+ -sn no port scan
We also felt that the old -sP ("ping scan") option was a bit
misleading because current versions of Nmap can go much further
(including -sC and --traceroute) even with port scans disabled. We
will retain support for the previous option names for the foreseeable
future.

What definitions of democracy, rule of law and corruption are you using here?

As long as contracts are being upheld, and court decisions are speedy and predictable, and public officials don't enrich themselves, that counts as low / no corruption, doesn't it?

Democracy might help with that ideal, but it's by no means strictly necessary.
Do people own property? Do they even have money? Do you own a license to your software? If it is all just on paper or on a screen, it's just numbers. The entire system is make-believe. If you choose not to believe in intellectual property, you must also acknowledge that other aspects of capitalism also do not actually exist and is a shared delusion.

However, the shared delusion makes the world go round as-is.

Which seems to be a proprietary venture without any transparency into the kinds of task that were undertaken or the software development tools chosen. For example, what were the comparable tasks undertaken with "HTML" and "Machine language"?

Presumably the differences between "GW Basic", "Basic (interpreted)", "Quick Basic", "Visual Basic" ("Excel" Visual Basic for Applications?) follow from differences between the software development tools provided with the different language implementations.

> This assumes that the migrants for that 100 years go live in decoupled ghettos and never integrate with the native population.

There is a sizable Turkish minority in Germany, starting from the Gastarbeiter programs of the 1960s, around 80 years ago. Integration hasn't been great, with even today those of Turkish ethnic origin being 20% unemployed vs. 6% for the ethnic Germans.

Of course, there are many complex reasons for this: Germans didn't want Turks to become Germans to a degree, with those of Turkish origin not being eligible for German citizenship until 2000. Erdogan gave a speech on German soil encouraging Turks to not assimilate into German culture. And obviously someone of Turkish origin whose family immigrated 80 years ago would likely behave differently than a newcomer.

> Otherwise, what do you call someone born in Italy, to parents born in Italy, and their grandparents were born in Italy, Italy, Nigeria and Ukraine?

Half of their ancestry is Italian and that might convince most Italians to call them Italian, if they speak, behave, and mostly look like other Italians. But what if their grandparents were born in Nigeria, Ukraine, Iraq, and Pakistan? Old World countries are not the same as New World countries in that regard. The majority of Koreans, for example, would not consider someone who wasn't ethnically Korean to be Korean even if they spoke the language fluently, was in tune with the culture, and was born in Korea. Jus sanguinis applies culturally as well as legally.

Their UX is infuriating compared to a few years ago. Why does it take multiple clicks to get to search? Why are my playlists etc not front and centre? Pop-ups about new albums from artists that they know I’ve never listened to and never would?

Every time I use it now, my inner voice is saying “get the fuck out of my way” to the UX itself.

What are they optimizing for?

Crashes are under your control though. They’re not caused by sidekiq. And you could always add your own crash recovery logic, as you say. To me that makes it a reasonable candidate for a pro feature.

That seems like a bizarre take. Even with efficient fully reusable rockets, surely desalination will still be much cheaper than mining water from asteroids and bringing it back to Earth?

And sure, maybe bringing huge amounts of rare earth metals back might reduce the price a bit, but to the point where rare earth elements are cheaper per mass unit than water?
This is a great read of a humble start of history. The A..B concurrency printing, helping Linus out implementing Sprintf, learning assembly. Building it all towards a coherent system.

What was truly profound is how Linux and other open source systems and libraries completely cracked open systems software for the masses. Back in the early 90s, everything around Unix, operating systems, compilers, tools, everything was crazy expensive to buy. And all of a sudden here came this thundering herd of code that was all completely free. Of course Gnu stuff had been around for awhile, but Linux is what propelled it into warp speed adoption. In thr 90s I was privileged to work at Bear Stearns and had a Sparc Station on my desk and regular interactions with SunOS, Solaris, and HPUX for the guys downstairs. Outside of University and business, it was hard for individuals to break into it.

By the late 90s any old anybody could get a CD ROM with Red Hat or whatever.

if I control-f for "theme" the first hit is four screenfulls down (phone) and it's a reference in the middle of a long block of text that implies they have themes.

The first prominent mention of themes is a heading six screenfulls down that mocks you for not changing it. It doesn't tell you how to change it.

This site is an explosion of emphasis. They can use massive size and gradients and flashy colors to emphasize their mockery of me. If they choose not to use the same for their theme switcher link I think it's fair to infer they don't want to emphasize it.

i think a partial explanation is that people don't move away from parametric representations of reality. We simply must be organized into a nice, neat gaussian distribution with very easy to calculate means and standard deviations. The idea that organization of data could be relational or better handled by a decision tree or whatever is not really presented to most people in school or university. Especially not as frequently or holistically as is simply thinking the average represents the middle of a distribution.

you see this across social sciences where you can see a lot of fields have papers that come out every decade or so since the 1980s saying that linear regression models are wrong because they don't take into account several concepts such as hierarchy (e.g., students go to different schools), frailty (there is likely unmeasured reasons why some people do the things they do), latent effects (there is likely non-linear processes that are more than the sum of the observations, e.g., traffic flows like a fluid and can have turbulence), auto-correlations/spatial correlations/etc.

In fact, I would argue that a decision tree based model (i.e., gradient boosted trees) will always arrive at a better solution to a human system than any linear regression. But at this point I suppose I have digressed from the original point.

The one thing I want Spotify to do well is algorithmic discovery. The Discover Weekly playlist is the only thing that keeps me on the service, and yet they make it more and more difficult to find.

Some odd typos there for someone who is a managing partner and multiple time CEO. That aside, the trick here seems to be rather than attempting to retain employees, one should treat them as expendable and invest in office furniture instead.

Really, I feel no employee should ever "want" to work for this guy. Taking at face value his claim to have asked actual employees (not candidates) to write a "Christmas wish list" but then fired them if their list was deemed inappropriate.... Yikes. I imagine he gives people unlimited time off but then fires them for taking two weeks as well.

Aaah, yeah, the "good old days". I got started with Linux around 1995 or so. I don't actually remember which distribution I used first, as I was experimenting a lot back then. I remember using Turbo Linux, Yggdrasil, and Slackware at times. Sometime in 95 or 96 I was a student at UNC Wilmington and I remember a bunch of us were out in the courtyard by the C.S. building when somebody came up talking about this new company called "Red Hat" that was, get this, selling Linux! That led to some rather, erm, passionate, discussion that day.

I actually wound up gravitating to Red Hat linux myself in the end, and to this day I still use RH oriented distros (mostly Fedora) for most things. And I even wound up working for Red Hat for a spell.

So yeah, Linux and his "toy" kernel definitely had a huge impact on my life over the years. And so did Bob Young and his company that had the audacity to charge money for free software. :-)

I don't really know much about him, and I suspect you do not either, though you may not have a sound understanding of your level of understanding due to the misleading nature of human consciousness combined with the norms of the culture you were raised in...which somewhat ironically, is the domain that Chopra's alleged expertise is in.

> it'd be happening without subsidies

It is happening without subsidies, at least here in Sweden. I put ~14.5 kW of panels on a barn roof last year without any need for subsidies because I can calculate the payback period on my own 10 fingers. Panels are affordable, inverters are still fairly expensive but a bit of shopping around can give remarkable results. It helps that I did all the work myself and got an electrician to sign off on it - he was impressed and had no problems doing so - but even when you can not do so the payback is still clearly within the lifetime of the system.

As it stands now we get to sell power at wholesale rates for the coming 5 years after which we need to renew the contract. If by that time the rules are changed we get a storage battery - I got a hybrid inverter for this purpose - and will start using excess power during the dark hours instead of selling it when it is produced. By that time I expect batteries to have come down in price and/or wholesale prices to have gone up sufficiently for this to be economically feasible, i.e. for the total power stored in them over all charge cycles to come out less expensive than power bought from the distribution network. This is not yet the case but I can wait.

> It has been years since I played with Clojure. What are some of the best editors/REPLs/IDEs these days?

Well these days you can get a LSP server for Clojure and that shall work in any editor/IDE that supports the LSP protocol. I'm using Emacs and eglot and then the Clojure LSP server (which uses clj-kondo under the hood if I'm not mistaken) and it's plain amazing. I was already happily using Emacs / CIDER for Clojure devv'ing but now I'm using Emacs+Cider+eglot/LSP.

they get paid by Labels to promote certain songs and artists, similar to how labels pay radio to play only certain songs. Everything, from Amazon, to Spotify, to the Google Play Store wants you to click on promoted bullshit, not search for what you actually want. Welcome to the internet in 2023.
Just day before I saw Spotify had the same ADHD inducing reels/tiktok style music discovery thing on it. What is it with all these companies using the same UX patterns EVERYWHERE. As one commentor rightly said, Discover Weekly is the only thing keeping me on this platform, they even removed family mixes, my brothers and uncles are on my family plan, and even though we didn't keep in touch a lot that used to be a talking point whenever we met and was such a cool thing.

LOL this is almost insulting in level of BS, but all's forgiven for a good belly-laugh.

Clearly they had other sources, and this is a laughable attempt to divert from that.
My main question is whether this is still helpful in an SGD context?

I.e. if you have $f = \sum_i^n f_i$ and with every batch you make $f_S = \sum_{j\in S} f_j$ for that batch ... being able to take a step which definitely causes $f_S$ to decrease doesn't necessarily cause $f$ to decrease / the window for $f_S$ may be different than the window for $f$?

If it only really makes sense for cases where you can evaluate the whole function of interest at every step, which tend to be lower-dimensional anyways, then I think an interesting comparison would be to quasi-newton methods like LBGFS. I.e. if you're involving the taylor-series machinery, when should you use it to pick the direction to step (normal QN) vs when should you use it to pick only the step size (this work)?
> That's an assumption that has not been tested in modern times.

It's a fact as old as humanity itself. People will create because that's what people do. What isn't guaranteed is the existence of the billion dollar copyright industry.

> an artist could sell their painting.

Still perfectly possible to sell the physical canvas you applied paint to.

> the volume will decrease dramatically as people are no longer allowed to make a living to create their art

So what? That's a good thing. The market is filled with cheap art that's made just to sell copies, stuff that wouldn't even exist at all if not for the profit. I don't consider that a big loss at all.

I work in aerospace (lunar exploration actually), and everyone involved goes out of their way to always use the term far side and explain to laypeople about it. Regardless of its origin, I've commented on it in conversation at least a dozen times and I don't think I've yet had the other person use the phrase and not also think there is a permanently dark side of the moon.

Online there is often also some pedant who explains "well actually there is a dark side but it changes". Because your last sentence is about sunlight I actually interpreted "dark side of the moon" as the unlit/ lunar nighttime side on the first several reads.

Anyway it can be interpreted at least three ways:

- Referring incorrectly to the far side

- Referring correctly to the far side because actually dark means something else (but it will be interpreted incorrectly anyway)

- Referring to the side currently in lunar nighttime

The terms "near side", "far side", "lunar night" and "lunar day" are much better.
