It would be pretty easy to come up with criteria that support or dismiss benefits of learning two languages, or any pair of specialties at all given inherent tradeoffs

For example, folks who learn programming languages early and intensively have a certain analytical advantage. But this is not a positive in all situations. We all have limited energy/time/focus, so each area we learn necessarily costs us in other areas.

And that’s great. We should develop strengths and build on them. Our lives are short and our attention is limited
(This is a hobbyhorse of mine...)

At least in North America, the "colony collapse" stuff was a livestock phenomenon more than it was a wildlife/ecology issue. Honey bees aren't native to the US; if you see a honey bee in your back yard, there's a pretty good chance that somebody owns it.
You’re still pretty young. Try specializing for a few years. If it doesn’t work out, go back to something more general.
and they often get away with a low level of fluency by the end of it.
Yeah RF is quite a bit different from the usual analog or low-speed digital stuff. I don't have any great suggestions on PDN simulators... one of the reasons I design with the big-V method is to avoid having to simulate this stuff. At the volumes most of my work ships at, trading a few extra MLCCs per board for a large savings in design time is a great tradeoff.

As for datasheets, they're rarely outright wrong. More... detached from reality. For example, a lot of SMPS datasheets will suggest some strange stuff. When you realize the actual rule of "place a low-ESL=physically small part right next to the regulator then the rest of the capacitors nearby", the weirdo advice starts to make sense, and you can tell what you really ought to do. That's why it's really important to separate the intent of the datasheet from the suggested implementation. The intent is usually worth paying attention to... the random use of 0.1uF capacitors, not so much.
Cannot be phished by currently known methods. Trust me, sooner or later they will find a way. Either through specific implementation issues, workarounds etc. Remember when everyone shrugged off concerns about sms 2fa codes?
The original intent was that “Undefined behavior gives the implementor license not to catch certain program errors that are difficult to diagnose.” If you wrote ‘a + b’, you could expect your hardware's add instruction, and if that happened to trap on overflow, that wasn't the compiler's fault.
The scientific consensus is that within a century unbridled capitalism will end up killing an order of magnitude more people than any other system ever did.
> Negative queries no longer filter all unrelated results.

This has been bothering me as well, but has been the case for as long as I know. For those who haven't seen this yet, try:

"hacker" "news" -"hackers"

The results still include the word "hackers". It's like, the operator had one job, why offer this operator if it's going to ignore it? Note that the quotes are so that it definitely takes every word literally, but you get similar results if you unquote any/all of the words so it doesn't really matter.

I don't remember an example query, but in the cases where I needed it the most (it's relatively rare that I have no idea what other keywords might occur and I have to fall back to this negative selection in the first place) it seems to work the least well, often more than half of the results (starting with the top result) include the forbidden word(s).

There was also a case where more results included the forbidden word after adding it as an exclusion criterion. I should start writing these down...

No, it is not. This article is just more generic pill-shaming vaguely gesturing at holistic/integrative medicine.

The massive improvement in the quality of life of psychiatric patients over the past century is due entirely to psychotropic drugs. Not to some new mode of talk therapy. Pills are not ersatz therapy.

The idea that what psychiatry patients need is social change---that we should withhold pills until we've rebuilt all of society to be just and fair and free of abuse---is absurd. If we'd taken that route, the burden of mental illness today would be unimaginable. But we didn't, and we made progress in pharmacology.

People have been talking about this "oh, psychiatric is too focused on biology, we have to consider the [etc.] context" since literally forever. Yet it is only psychiatry that has made a dent in psychological morbidity. Because we are made of flesh, and all emotions come from biological chains cause-and-effect that can be changed by drugs.

>Shortcomings and all, so far psychopharmaceuticals have been an essential resource in psychiatry. But their future is uncertain.

It is not. Psychotropic drugs have cured oceans of suffering and prevented millions of deaths.

I know what I saw in my own friends and family, and I know what I saw in people online, and I know what was portrayed in the right-winged media. Granted, most would not partake in violence themselves but they sure as hell wrote it off when it happened. They'd just deflect discussion towards Fauci's possible involvement.

Who said all lab leak discussion should be classified as hate speech? I'm positive people said it was being presented by certain people with the intent to invoke hate and violence, but I doubt anyone with any credibility said all discussion of a lab leak should be classified as hate speech.

Edit: To be clear, by "anyone with any credibility" I did not mean to imply including anyone in the government, on either side. There's not much credibility to be found there.
A Java developer becomes a better Java developer if they learn alternative concepts that Java doesn't empasize as much. Learning Lisp, Haskell or C is going to be useful, for example.

But a Java developer won't become a better Java developer if they learn C#, which is basically Java with different capitalization conventions.

I guess something like that happens for natural languages. You get those benefits if you actively learn new concepts. The difference of course is that you are unlikely to have done that purely by being bilingual. Many bilingual people just picked up 2+ languages as they were growing up.
It seems that graphics cards are becoming luxury prices atm, for one.
One of the biggest ones from past days was media files and especially photos. They are large, users like to arrange/rearrange, compress, and manually back them up (or “back them up” depending on the knowledge level of the user). They are also rarely modified after being initially tweaked.

And on the other side: Apple computers typically don’t have upgradeable hard drives so for anyone who takes photos/video it’s an inevitable countdown to zero free space.
Lack of awesome men who want to marry them, apparently. Why would those men want to marry in 2023? There are pretty much zero reasons for any man to do so. You'd have to be temporarily insane to sign that contract.
Not just GenZ. I spent most of my 51 years of life having zero idea how my car or engines in general worked. Then my son got into eBikes and then motorcycles and I helped him along, now I know how to wire up a 3 phase motor and rebuild a carb, among various other skills like bleeding brake lines and even welding. This wouldn't have happened without the loads of tutorial videos out there. I'd watch and think, "Oh, I see. We can totally do that." Not to mention all the other great stuff I watch like Baseball highlights, chess, science and technology, travel, history, etc.

YouTube has turned out to be the best thing on the internet since the web. A Premium subscription is well worth the benefit I get out of it.
> The same way in that a CS PHD is going to be able to pickup programming languages better and more quickly than someone who has learned C++ and python

Huh? This is about as convincing to me as the claim that learning linguistics makes it easier to learn a human language. It's also sort of a non-sequitor.

Someone who understands python and C++ would be trivially able to understand a massive swath of modern programming languages. I see little that having some deeper theoretical background would help.

And in human languages, even more so than programming, theory is almost irrelevant to regular practice. As the upstream comment says, we learn by practice, not by memorizing and applying rules.
Read a few articles about affective neuroscience pioneered by Jaan Panksepp.

Playing is creativity and learning. It’s how we learn new things we have not been directly exposed to.

Basically we have defined play far to narrowly and it is the basis for all learning/creativity in non-stressful situations. As opposed to learning in reaction to a situation.
People have forgotten when gas stations didn't used to be every 100 feet.

There was a reason why people stayed on the interstates and turnpikes and regularly spaced gas stations was one of them. Many of these were subsidized.

That needs to occur again for EV chargers.
WoW floored me, it was what I had always wanted in a game since first playing Ultima (I). The grind and the silliness finally killed it tho (plus trying to wrangle time to play after putting the kids to bed, I got very little sleep for 2 years). Funny you mention LotR online, as my guild lost a number of players to it when it first came out. Didn't know it was still alive and kicking! I kinda lament missing Eve Online, that also sounded fun.

EDIT. Mac support deprecated on LotR. :( And I only use my PC through Remote Desktop... maybe i'll give it a whirl anyways....
Connections across cultures and broader abilities to empathize are exactly what a general public or a society needs to be healthy. Humanities should not try to assert its worth in utilitarian terms; by playing that game it has already given up its own.

I agree with programming's effect on natural languages, and I think it goes both ways. Programming makes me a more precise punctuator, while Shakespeare makes me comment in couplet.
It's not xenophobia. It's simply a matter of being aware of how things work.
I think it's ridiculous that you think it sounds ridiculous. If people actually cared about this stuff, there would be a massive market opportunity for a competitor to make a product that satisfied people's demands. But they don't, so there isn't.

Most of the noise in the community is from people who just enjoy seeing Apple squirm and probably aren't even an Apple customer anyway. Meanwhile the entities spending real money to lobby governments on this issue actually only care about getting around Apple's increasingly consumer-protecting app review process — they tolerated the 30% fee right up until the very same month that Apple started forcing developers to inform users if they were tracking users between apps.

They want side-loading so they can track you, not so they can extract more money from you. Because they know they won't. Yes, entities like Epic might be able to sell apps with a lower marginal cost (not a lot lower, as they'll be handling stuff like fraud and refunds themselves, and Apple is still entitled to a software license fee) but the simple act of requiring consumers to enter their credit card number into an app is going to reduce transaction completion rates. I'd be willing to bet by at least 30%.
The wrapping prompt is also used during inference. (https://github.com/minosvasilias/godot-dodo/blob/f62b90a4622...)

Ultra high voltage lines can reach all the way to the east coast with 10% losses and supposedly about 10 cents per kWh for construction and maintenance. And that's AC, which HVDC might beat.

So it seems to me like you could power the US off california solar if they had enough.
What does that have to do with solar panels?
Sure, and if you learned linguistics you would have been able to pick up those languages more quickly with a better understanding. But like I already said, most should learn languages for pragmatic reasons, what it offers them, not for some vague reasons. I guess my point was that there would be advantage to having people study linguistics in high school instead of a second (or third or whatever) language, give the students the ability to understand language instead of a language that many just forget after highschool. This changes with where you are in the world, some like yourself need more than one language just to get by but I do not think that rules out the utility of learning language in a more foundational/fundamental way.
That might have been more useful as a title (shortened, obviously, but longer than the two words that mean nothing together as it is now)
When I was about 30 years younger, I drank alcohol-- a lot of alcohol. Often.

Then I married a woman who didn't drink much (some members of her family never drank-- ever, not even a drop) and I thought about how we should raise our kids. (We had 3.)

I haven't had a drink in a long time, and I don't miss it a bit. I'd feel even more so about drugs. I encourage everyone to think carefully about what you put in your body.
This. You get to see old cities with a lot of commemorative monuments, and they are all with years in Roman numerals (and many of them, with the whole inscription in Latin).

Academic books were written in Latin and were dated with Roman numerals because, well, they were written in Latin.

For example here's a cover of Calvin's Institutes of the Christian Religion, 4th Latin edition, printed in 1562, with the year of edition in Roman numerals:

Films, as creative work, simply followed this tradition. That's it.
Not really. Chips are mostly factory overclocked these days. They dump in all that power to get the coveted #1 spot in the review charts. Turn on eco mode and you get 99% of the performance at a much nicer power limit.

Just pretend it’s 2013 and you got a chip with some nice overclocking potential you don’t really want to use because you don’t like heat or the noise it brings.
The first one does too. I also found a full minecraft.jar in the 3rd one. The eaglerarchive/eaglercraftx-1.8 repo does not seem to be violating copyright and it is still on github.

The DMCA mentions taking down repos named "eaglercraft-beta". If you search for a mirror of this on google you will see the repo contains copyrighted material.
They are going after it because it directly competes with Microsoft through piracy. Mojang provides (unofficially) Minecraft source code class maps for decompiled code through the Mod Coder Pack which is maintained by one of their staff. This is the foundation (client+server) modding frameworks like Minecraft Forge and Fabric are built on. Decompilation tools already exist and the Minecraft source code is an open secret. Their line in the sand is piracy at scale.

> The fact of the matter is most vegans do not have a B12 deficiency

I didn't say they did. I did say they in all likelihood need to supplement their B12. This is well supported by vegans and nutritionists.

> nor any of the other unsupported criticisms you've made.

I have supported my claims, actually. The fact that you disagree with the science is your problem, not mine.

> The evidence is available on the web if you would just search and cease trying to confirm your biases.

Your absolute lack of intellectual curiosity indicates that the one that would benefit from these words is yourself. You haven't actually discredited anything I've said even though this is all pretty well studied stuff. It's also important information for people that you seem to admire so much, to ensure that they are getting the right nutrition. Your argument is basically "I know vegans and they don't have any issues resulting from their diet." It's not an argument and it does a disservice to vegans to talk about it with such dishonesty.

> You're just trying to justify your lifestyle. Don't bother, because no one cares.

No, I'm making a case for meat, which you seem to have a really toxic relationship with on top of you being incredibly ignorant to the actual data.

You seem to be making the wrong assumption that I'm trying to dissuade people from becoming vegan. That's not what I'm doing. I am making an argument that meat is an excellent source of nutrition that has extremely high utility so the increased energy required to produce it is worthwhile.
How about running your process in a cgroup attached to a cpuset with the cores/NUMA nodes you want? How about cgroups v2 which has the threaded mode so a process can put it's threads into different subgroups?
so then, add a declarator or two to solve the problem, don't just throw the baby out with the bathwater. The population of C programmers who understand how C works is the population of people who can understand how hardware works. The reverse has never been true, hardware designers have never understood software, and academic software experts have spent too much time babysitting college freshman who can't code and spend all their time dreaming about languages that freshmen could learn well enough to TA the course. But that's probably not a language good enough for systems programmers to adopt.

I'm not so sure. Natural languages are not very much like programming languages.

When you speak a language fluently you're able to speak and understand without thinking about it. Children can be fluent with no formal training in grammar. Meanwhile, for me at least, programming is the opposite: I have to learn all the rules on a formal level and my mind can't wander while I'm programming at all.

I think the benefits of knowing more natural languages are pretty clear: the ability to speak to and understand more people. Plus the art, entertainment, and other cultural productions you get access to.
Thanks for the clarification, makes sense now!

Ya know, I have a hard time finding sympathy for LSD users who have bad trips. I say this as someone who has quite enjoyed it in the past.

People complaining about LSD, to me, sound like people complaining about being shot out of a cannon. You knew what was going to happen once you lit the fuse. You chose to shoot yourself out of the cannon. Not liking it is to be expected for a significant portion of the population; but stop pretending like it's some horrifyingly dangerous activity. This is the mental equivalent of pissing yourself while bungee jumping and warning other people that if they try it, they are 100% going to piss their own pants.
Photorealism is definitely something that I feel is way over-targeted. It has never been something that makes or breaks a game for me. Even worse, games that try to sell themselves on photorealism tend to be a negative sign of the gameplay. I much prefer any other cohesive artistic style. I don't think any of my favorite (/most played) games have a style of realism: (Modded) Minecraft, Factorio, Civilization V/IV, Slay the Spire, Stellaris, Terraria, Rocket League, (Old School) Runescape, and RimWorld.

Yes, the changes introduced by Godot 4 were a prime motivator for this project.

However, it is not quite as clear cut as OpenAI's models simply being trained on Godot 3.x projects only. Not only do they sometimes produce valid 4.x syntax (gpt-4 more often than 3.5-turbo), indicating there were at least some 4.x projects in the training data, they also hallucinate other invalid syntax, such as Python-specific functionality, or simply non-existent methods.

I do think evaluating against Godot 3.x would increase their scores somewhat, but i have not had time to do so yet.
A confounder in the above study could be that they counted pairs like European languages and English as two different languages when in reality they are very similar.

knowing english and german is not knowing two full languages imho. you’ll get more exposure to german culture but it’s not the same as knowing English and a slavic or asian language.

1. Yes, absolutely. There are very few developed countries with large population centres on or adjacent to strong solar potential, and fewer again if you limit them by others stuff Lego is looking for (e.g. workforce compatibility, market access).

2. That's probably true, but the US labour market is simultaneously huge, flexible, and well-educated. That gives it an advantage over most competitors.
Not saying an old car cannot be stolen but at least compared to my peers, nobody is trying to take my car with no push start button.

My fear is spending a lot of money on a sweet car and then having it stolen right away and, yes, I should carry insurance but making insurance claims is time consuming and inconvenient. Not to mention the fact that it sucks to have to pay deductible for being a victim of car theft.
