I've always used \iffalse as a way to comment out text in TeX without losing syntax highlighting, and never thought much about its main use. It's cool to see that it's a crucial ingredient in the definition of \newif (also this SE answer [0] goes in more detail; tldr the basic \if is bad at parsing nested \fi's).

> The universe is perfect

The universe is a cosmic horror, life emerges and with it untold suffering.

The very notion of perfection is also emergent (not to mention self relative), outside of the conceptual framework of the observer's mind perfection does not even exist.

The universe is beautiful, life emerges and with it all understanding, love and joy.

Two sides of the same emergent coin, the nature of all experience was forged by what it took for our ancestors to survive to the next generation.

I'm not an expert I think the main barrier to Tor speeds now is # of nodes and concentration of nodes (should have more nodes outside of OVH, BuyVM, Flokinet and M247...). Worth noting too that 5G also makes triangulation substantially more accurate due to higher tower density.

Also I feel like the Cloudflare problem and reCAPTCHA hell on Tor are stunting Tor adoption and I'm pretty sad about that. Higher speeds wouldn't necessarily solve those problems.
I've started to do the same for C arrays, leaving the plural as the name for its paired count:

User *user = ...;
int users = ...;

for (int i = 0; i < users; i++) {
user[i] = ...;
}

This also used to be the Google convention for naming repeated fields in Protocol Buffers, so that the generated code would read like `add_user()` and not `add_users()`, though it seems like that has changed?
It isn't literally the same thing as a company town but the concept from the headline at least is close enough to cause a pretty visceral reaction. Honestly, even as explained in the top level comment I am uncomfortable with my corporate employer having any rights to my property after I leave their employ no matter how 'weak' they may seem. Work should be a fair exchange of labor or product for capital, imo. It's more a symptom of housing being used as an investment than as actual housing for humans that this is considered a good deal. If housing wasn't increasingly difficult to come by, this wouldn't even be on the table as a compelling offer.

I used to "half-joke" about wanting everyone's SSN published in one big fat breach. I don't joke about it now. I really do want every single SSN to be published somewhere with the associated identities. It seems like nothing short of that will convince banks and other sensitive institutions to give up on using it as a secret.

Then, once the SSN can't be plausibly relied upon to authenticate people, these industries will have to do the hard work themselves.

I thought you could implement those in terms of delimited continuations easily by making your top level the delimiter.
current lead on r/relationship_advice here - none of these people actually "control" anything, and gallowboob (for instance) has largely stepped away from modding.

There's value in any information-sharing they do in that they share trends across subreddits that reddit themselves are opaque about, but the subs still operate autonomously.
I wrote a top level comment but I really don't understand this argument. Just because the model is "multiple facts about a user" does not mean you have to jump through hoops to name the database table. It would just be user_facts, wouldn't it? That seems intuitive and straightforward to me, even if the class name is also plural.
There are two different but similar effects occurring.

Dedicated forums for particular topics were generally tiny. A forum with 10k+ people was a sizable forum, and not many where that large. Small communities got very little attention from spammers, and while they had their own trolls giving problems they were much less rarely subjected general trolls unless something like 4chan or whatever came before it picked up on them.

The internet is also huge and has zero degrees of separation in most places. I could post a link to a tiny forum here and 1000 people may see it. I could post it to reddit subthread and a hundred thousand people could see it. Or I could get a front page post on Reddit and a million+ people could see it. And with it tons of trolls, spam, and general idiots will follow and quality goes to trash.

This barely has anything to do with Reddit/Facebook itself. It's the power of network effects congregating people. Facebook was always going to happen, maybe in a slightly different flavor, or slightly different form, but once we got the computing capability to have millions of people at one place at once time, someone was always going to build it.
Are any Krita devs here? I was very eager to replace PS with Krita, but I met a strong obstacle - it doesn't support PSD vectors (paths). This is catastrophic problem for me as 90% of my work contain paths. I was sure it was there, but when I brought my PSD I worked all night on to the linux user to make final tweaks, nothing worked. I was shocked. :( Are there plans to implement this?

This job is so stressful that even sleep does not feel like rest. When you cannot figure out how to do something it just eats at you and you can never let it go. And if you never figure it out your soul can never rest.

> Consider travelling outside North America for once before making such egregious comparisons again.

I've extensively traveled the world, to more than 70 countries, and have spent years of my life living abroad. The United States is far more diverse and heterogeneous than most other countries in the world, contrary to your statements. Some subsets of the US are regionally /very/ homogeneous, however, which is part of my point.

It would help to start thinking of the US for what it is, a federation of 50 states, not a single entity with a single mind. There is a high level of diversity within the US, but in each state, there tends to be a balance point towards some particular dominant culture, which can include religion, and in the case of Utah was explicitly created to include religion (Utah was founded to give the Mormons a home).

> The LDS church has prohibited polygamy for well over a century now: https://newsroom.churchofjesuschrist.org/article/polygamy-la...

Officially. Unofficially, polygamy is still widely practiced in Utah as part of the official doctrine of FDLS, which is the breakaway Fundamental sect of the LDS Church. The FDLS has recently gained more prominence, which lead to Utah making a surprising reversal recently by effectively decriminalizing polygamy, something that was for a long time a felony in Utah in order to follow LDS Church doctrine that banned polygamy as part of the split from FDLS. FDLS exists almost entirely within the state of Utah however, and the words of the Book of Mormon on this topic are literally plainly in black and white.

Technically speaking, the Quran heavily restricts polygamy in Al-Nisa', 4:3 and clarified in Al-Nisa', 4:129. In practice however, polygamy is widely practiced in the Middle East and is a core part of the way in which many people practice Islam and has had no significant actions taken against it. It's specifically a core tenet of the Wahabi sect of Islam, which is the dominant sect in the modern Middle East (although other sects generally reject polygamy).
Even that's a hard statement to make in such an unnuanced way. Oftentimes the whole point of an abstraction is to couple things together in a way that happens to be useful.

Take relational databases.

The relational model is a fantastic abstraction that revolutionized data storage and allowed databases to become vastly more powerful than they were prior to the introduction of the model. But it also couples the data representation to a model that's based on sets of tuples, which is a bit of a mixed blessing. It's necessary for the algebra that makes relational databases so flexible, but it also means that the RDBMS's native data format is fundamentally incompatible with how most application programming languages like to organize things, thus creating the need for a translation layer (read: API) to bridge the gap. That is, strictly speaking, a lot of extra work compared to using something like Gemstone, but I tend to think that it's a fair trade in large systems.

On the other hand, object/relational mapping often drives me nuts, because it introduces the wrong kinds of abstractions. It encourages tight coupling of the database's schema to the data model of the portion of the application that the person who created the table was working on at the time. This reduces the flexibility of the database, and may make it more difficult to predict or control the scope of impact of a schema change. Other methods like sprocs certainly have their problems, but at least they were trying to place the abstraction in a sensible place that doesn't create the kinds of couplings that make an application resistant to change.

Its even simpler.

Exercise (specifically, aerobic type) is the main thing you need. A good exercise regime gives you a lot of leeway in the diet aspect especially if you don't overeat (since your caloric burn will be high enough on the regular to not have to deal with issues like too much carbs). It also helps you sleep as you get tired and can fall asleep easier, and reduces stress levels, which is very important in regards to longevity.

There also have been studies that link brain function deterioration with lack of oxygen, and people with higher VO2max values are at a lower risk of cognitive decline.

Something as simple as cycling to the office instead of taking the car can have extremely positive effects.
Who, exactly, "changed" things? Who are enforcing these "measures?" This wasn't an isolated instance of rogue doctors running amok.

I absolutely don't think that.

I think that company owners, share holders, "The Economy" have decided that low earners don't deserve healthy lives; and that many of those low earners have been tricked into agreeing that it's best to live "under foot" and that those things are luxuries.

It would be like cheering a factory on for all the missing arms its employees have, and then having all the factory employees mock the newcommers with two arms trying to protest losing an arm only to have the tenured ones laugh at them and think that's privilege.

a personal anecdote on issues with crime data:

the old truck i've got got broken into and the ignition got punched out and someone tried to steal it, but even though it is a 2000 it has an immobilizer so they weren't successful. i didn't bother reporting it. it was way under my insurance deductible and the cops aren't going to do anything due to a few hundred bucks of property damage. that incident won't appear in any statistics.

declining levels of relatively minor crime may reflect growing awareness that reporting it to the police is just a waste of everyone's time.

Join our international Sky360 open source project
Hi everyone,

We are excited to announce our open source sky observation project, Sky360, and we're looking for supporters / developers who are passionate about space and citizen science to join our team. Our vision is to facilitate a global citizen science project to observe the skies and all their phenomena around the clock, while providing high-quality results and analysis available to everyone.

We want to provide a community platform, tools, and support to all people interested in observing the skies for stars, meteors, satellites, planes, drones, weather phenomena, birds, UAPs, or anything else that happens in our atmosphere and low Earth orbit. Our Discord channel, the UAP Tracking Forum community now has over 1,600 members.

Together with and for the community, we are developing affordable hardware and software for a 24/7 citizen sky observatory that can detect, track, identify, and analyze any aerial phenomena. Our software will cover various functionalities, including a core part with image processing, a neural network with a machine learning-based identifier and prioritizer, and a messaging system for all connected sensors. For connected sensors, we first focus on the PTF for guiding, vector-ahead tracking, and production of high-resolution video data.

We are also developing an AI cloud service that can aggregate event data from all active stations and analyze it with additional external data, such as air traffic and weather. The first version of our open source Sky360 software is scheduled for release in 2023.

For our Sky360 citizen science project, we have set five preconditions, including open source hardware and software development, open source data generation, and affordable, harmonized hardware for DIY. We welcome developers of all levels of experience who are interested in contributing to our project and helping us achieve our vision.

If you're interested in contributing to our project, please leave a comment or send us a message. We look forward to hearing from you and building something great together!

This sounds like a recipe for a messy divorce. It makes sense for a bank to offer a discounted mortgage, because they're in the business of mortgages, and it's not unreasonable to still bank with a bank you used to work for.

OTOH, I wouldn't want to have to have a payment relationship with my employer after I left. Sometimes it's nice to keep a 401k with an old employer, but you end up caught up in their drama still --- when they change 401k providers, you need to pay attention, if they go through a merger, you need to pay attention, etc. It would be worse if they were administering your mortgage.

Now --- if they want to partner with a bank/credit union and subsidize a lower rate or something, that might make sense. It could be win-win-win; it might be less risky loans for the bank, a nice perk for the employee, and a way to attract employees. Of course, it depends on what happens the employer; it also concentrates the loan portfolio of the bank; if you had a lot of loans to employees of a company that has a big problem, you've now got a lot of borrowers risking default at the same time. I got a nice deal on a car and factory loan incentives because of who I worked for, and there's lots of other employee perks available.

There’s an actual court case you could look at. It was thrown out on appeal because the state didn’t prosecute them.
Some ignorant comments here. Nothing wrong with the reasoning per se, but the info they're basing things on is, to say the least, incomplete. GIGO. Some commenters are obviously unaware of the growing body of research supporting ivermectin use and others as antivirals (& COVID), something that's been known for rather a lot longer than many are comfortable admitting, though with the lack of media coverage of the scandals relating to the Lancet et al, they could be forgiven. I've been following the issues Bridgen and Campbell are talking about for quite some time, and I see these two as vastly more trustworthy than official sources these last few years, who were, it turns out, themselves responsible for pushing incredible amounts of misinformation. And Wikipedia? Please. Great for info on quasars, but has become terribly corrupted on anything relating to the political and, interestingly, to health, nutrition and pharmaceuticals. Campbell followed the data, so did Bridgen. Those saying they didn't are having trouble separating facts from their worldview. Youtube screwed up.
I just got laid off (8 years into "career" or whatever) after months of my manager basically making me dread waking up, going to such lengths as to say I was refusing work when I was trying to manage the workload more sensibly and create new tickets for issues that were discovered during the sprint so that they could be dealt with when my priorities were taken care of. Some managers are garbage.

Most of us old timers have been there, done that. At some level, it never changes.

It is VERY difficult for work to provide your true meaning in life. 95% of software is personal preference. Most code will be thrown away when priorities change. Do the best you can and learn when you can. Management will always make poor decisions and are usually not interested in unfortunate truths. Work should only be what is required to gain money to pay for living.

The change has to be in you. Finding a hobby or raison dêtre makes waking up easy. Having something to look forward to is key. Once work is something to just finish changes everything. Respect your "you" time and turn off all notifications from work you can. Find something that does bring you joy and do that until it doesn't. Then search for a new thing. Too often we expect a brutal competitive job to also provide us peace and tranquility. They are best kept separated in my experience.

But instead of managing a fleet of x86 servers, switches, routers, storage boxes (you may need a few of those), all liable to fail without warning, you have an exquisitely built datacenter that fits in half-a-dozen 19" racks (counting 2 for storage) where redundancy, failover, and easy maintenance are built-in at the hardware level.

Some bud tenders I've spoke to say that the ~30% you can find now is basically the max feasible. A high potency weed just means that you have to inhale less burning plant matter. Most adult use just involves way fewer hits than someone would have in the 70s. You can also find much lower potency strains for cheap. I imagine this is state by state though.
