This bit is the part most interesting to me:

Second, early 3rd millennium Iberian societies do not display the traits indicative of highly stratified, class-like or state societies identified elsewhere in Bronze Age or Iron Age Europe. As the Valencina record shows, leadership systems in the Iberian Copper Age were at best unstable and financed by a wealth economy rather than a staple economy59. ‘The Ivory Lady’ appears to have drawn her influence, prestige, or power neither from birth, nor from the control of agricultural produce, but from her personal charisma and her achievements.

TLDR: It seems that a society with powerful women may correlate to different social and power structures than male-dominated cultures.

I dream of selling a Box that plugs into the wall that backs up all of your photos and videos and maybe acts as an ActivityPub server, and you can add your friends who also have a Box, and your friends' Boxes back up all of your photos and vice versa.

The added benefit of integrating federated social media is that if you want to share a file with your friends, there's zero load time because the file is already backed up on their Box, or it's striped across multiple Boxes and downloads quickly.

It would have to be dirt cheap though, like a Chromecast.

Some of the interest rates I've seen on federal student loans - 7+% - seem exorbitant in general but particularly because the lender takes no risk.

7% interest on a loan in a year with 3% inflation (the real cost of having money that year) that is guaranteed to be repaid seems like evidence of corruption to me. But maybe I think too simplistically.

If all you're doing is using classes as superfluous namespacing, we'll that's hardly a threat. It's when they start having superfluous constructors that you're on a dark path. I once knew a guy who had a when-in-doubt-make-it-a-singleton habit, it was maddening to write tests anywhere near him.

Obviously that's an amateur move (and being an amateur myself I didn't have the confidence to show him a better way). But then it's never the skilled practitioners that make something look bad anyway.

A Painful Reflection on Working in Web3
>these decisions in their branches were made in part to avoid the high rates of lower-back injury found among troops training for speed sit-up and crunch tests."

And yet if you are in the USAF, the GP's will prescribe 500mg-1g of nicotinic acid and ibuprofen for lower back problems, to be taken when working out in the gym.

The nicotinic acid on an empty stomach spikes your growth hormone well above peaks seen during puberty, and believe it or not, can have you mobile and working doing hard exercise and lifting within 30mins, in fact you dont need the ibuprofen, just the nicotinic acid when the flush strikes.

The only downside with doing nicotinic acid long term is it will increase the chance of osteomalacia, aka putty bones, where you can push your finger into your bones and leave an indent in the bone, like pushing your finger into fresh putty around a window. Its not nice and it will deform your bones unless you take appropriate action namely changes to your diet to increase you vit k and omega 3 intake.

The pain killing effect of nicotinic acid comes from the release of calcium which binds to the body's own catecholamines because calcium binding to the catecholamines amplifies their effect. Its probably also explains those video's of people lifting weights when their bones snap and break, you dont feel osteomalacia until its too late.

Nicotinic acid can also harm the liver so appropriate dietary changes need to be made to compensate for taking it, even though it can be prescribed as a statin, and was the first drug used in the US for chemo purposes, decades ago.
> 3D sound with be tech? Like really?

What is that sentence supposed to mean?

Between the horrific run-on sentence that opens the article and this comment, I am feeling like I suddenly forgot how to read, and nothing makes sense.
Logic model is not enough. One needs to know the process PDK to estimate performance / power consumption / cost of the chip.

What do you mean by "design/production pipeline"?
I'm saying that if you want to make 3D soundscapes, we've had that tech for many decades. Headphones work for this. But I'll continue and say headphones /will/ also be superior for that purpose to anything using speakers.

If you want to try it, get a couple of microphones and put them in a styrophoam mannequin head where the ears would go. Stick some hair on, a nose. Use it to record the left and right channel as you wander around somewhere with some noise sources. Listen to the playback using stereo headphones. It's a very cool, low-tech thing to do. I think I did it as a kid with a cassette recorder.

Are you saying any of that is wrong? That whatever Atmos is will get the mix to your left and right ear better than headphones to achieve a 3d sound?
Might be heresy to come in to an OOP-bashing thread and say this, but the noun thing fits my mental model perfectly. IMHO, verbs aren't 'done' by nothing and data rarely exists without belonging to something, so it feels fine to me. I always find these discussions interesting though because clearly a lot of people feel differently (and very strongly in some cases).

(Please don't take this comment as an endorsement of OOP as practiced in the corporate world or that traumatic memory you have of an OOP codebase.)

This is a discussion forum. The whole point is for people to "chime in on" things. You're not the top-level commenter here.

If you are travelling as a single person or a couple hotels sure. As a family the hotel experience is really bad or out of reach price wise. I'm just about to go on a vacation and we looked into hotels vs airbnb quite extensively. We've got a teenager and 2 younger kids so we need 3 rooms. For the same as OK looking motel we can stay in a nice house with parking and a good size kitchen.

I don't want to like AirBnb and similar, but every time we've tried to go back to hotel or traditional B&B the experience has been poor and expensive. I guess the alternative is to not travel at all... we don't very often and we're only visiting a city in the same (small) country and also seeing friends so it's not like I feel we're massively touristy people paying to travel half way around the world then skimping on the accommodation.

Condor Software | Software Engineer, Full Stack (Django, React) | Remote, San Diego, New York, or Boston | Full-time

Condor is building a world where finance accelerates human progress in medicine.

Our mission is to help biotech finance teams save time, money, and lives by bringing more cutting-edge therapies to market, faster and more affordably.

We started Condor because we realized that the life-saving treatments needed by our loved ones were held back by billions of dollars in complicated, time-consuming, and inefficient financial processes, which consistently delay clinical trial deployment and growth.

With more demand than we can currently service, we're looking for product leaning software engineers interested in tackling a big, hairy, complex business domain, value building "code that is easy to delete," and geek out about going "six levels down" (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/episode-1-six-levels-d...) and skilled people who are also "good humans" interested in our mission.

well, dwarf fortress was for most of that time a freely available game with no DRM and sustained by donations, so it's hard to see how copyright was really benefitting them much. If as mentioned new updates would get a new copyright (and only older versions would lose it), I don't really see what incentive they would have to renew it much at all.
Counterpoint: if you compare Gandi's old/existing prices for all other products (domains, hosting, etc.) with the competition, they are not exactly on the cheap end. It seems to me they've always positioned themselves as a premium option. So either they decided to make an exception for email (why?) or the €0.35/month price is not necessarily the steal you think it is.

I skimmed the review and the conclusion seems to be "saturated fat from certain sources probably isn't bad for you"[1]. If we take that at face value, and go back to the original question of whether to replace vegetable oil with oils high in saturated fats (eg. palm oil or ghee), I think the answer is still "no". The article talks specifically talks about foods like whole fat dairy (not pure butter), unprocessed red meat (not lard) and dark chocolate (not palm oil).

WRT inheritance, composition solves the diamond problem. It’s really about decoupling interfaces for portability more than code reuse.

I think the big abstraction problem inheritance solves is overrides. I think there’s a lot of FP cargo culting that overlooks the benefits of the ability to override (when used wisely). But aside from that I’m not sure there’s any reason to think inheritance is any more or less polymorphic than composition for a language with sufficient reflection/introspection support. If you lack type introspection it’s a different story. Maybe I’m missing your point though.
There are an infinite number of rational numbers, but if you only understood the rationals then you wouldn’t understand pi or e. Or even sqrt(2).

Infinities can be very constraining.

I suspect most people fully understand that things are questionable at the very least. But they usually think they're more intelligent and they'll be able to skirt around laws by creative usage of terms or betting on being technically correct.

Atmos and Spatial Audio are both a thing. You can test a speaker system or put on a pair of headphones and very easily distinguish them from regular 2.0 stereo sound. Whether or not they are "better" is obviously subjective (hence the audiophile debates), but writing them off entirely as BS is an equally shallow position.

how are designers making designs without talking to customers? Who are they designing it for then?

Please don't come at me with "but... requirements", good design requires you to understand your user. People are bad at articulating what they actually want and if your PM is not a designer (in a sense of comprehension and problem solving, not Figma proficiency) the "requirements" are going to be some uninspired platitudes.

What you refer to as "doing designs" is actually just pixel pushing, which has absolutely no place unless and until you figure out the functionality

What time period, system and region are we talking about? For some characters using a specific font was certainly necessary but for µ? It is in the original IBM PC character set from 1981 and could easily be put into plain text files. I would guess that most extended ASCII character sets contain it but I don't know for sure. Every [German] keyboard I ever used had it on the M key.

> Windows 95 used the 16-bit COMMAND.COM as its default command-line shell, so doing it this way was probably necessary to make 32-bit console applications interoperate with the command shell (and support eg. piping and redirection between 16/32-bit executables).

I think that's got the arrow of causation reversed.

Windows 9x did it this way because it didn't have a 32-bit console subsystem. They couldn't have easily ported NT's 32-bit console subsystem to 9x/Me, because it was deeply tied in to how DOS Boxes are implemented (NTVDM), and that's radically different between NT and 9x/Me (which have basically the same architecture in that regard as Windows 3.1 in 386 Enhanced Mode). And also deeply tied into NT architecture components that 9x/Me lacked (CSRSS.EXE and LPCs)

And they used 16-bit COMMAND.COM as the primary shell, because without a 32-bit console subsystem, the value of adopting CMD.EXE was rather limited. It would have allowed some more advanced batch files.

Actually Microsoft did port CMD.EXE to Windows 95 and 98, but unclear if they ever officially released it. It was shipped in some Windows betas and beta SDKs, and some people got it from there and redistributed it (might not be technically legal but I doubt that anyone at Microsoft really cares, especially by now) – http://cygutils.fruitbat.org/consize/index.html

COMMAND.COM did piping using temporary files. I think even in NT versions, redirection works when starting a 32-bit console executable from a DOS app. I wish I had a 32-bit Windows VM handy to test that with. (Pity pcjs.org has Windows 95 but no NT versions, not even NT 3.1/3.5/3.51/4.0)
I'm very curious why you've chosen to go down the route of special casing on parallelizing within one socket, which I take to mean some form of shared memory paradigm?

To the best of my knowledge, shared memory approaches have been mostly abandoned in the HPC community. It seems none of the codes that went hybrid MPI+OpenMP for example, ever saw substantial performance benefit over pure MPI. At least not enough to justify the increased code complexity. If you search for "hybrid MPI/OpenMP" on Google Scholar you'll see most results are 10-20 years old.

Part of the reason for this is that on modern CPU cores with the amount of cache available, you typically want to keep at least something like 200 000 degrees of freedom per core. That's e.g. a 36^3 grid for u,v,w,p if you're doing fluid mechanics. Then the amount to communicate per core is just 8% of the total data. Furthermore you can easily do other work like compute auxiliary variables while you are waiting on communication.

I will also say that it feels a bit weird to call something "peta-" and "HPC" if using more than one socket is relatively far off into the future. For the randomly-wandering PhD students out there, it would be nice to tell them this up front in the Readme :)

> They are anticipating a difficulty maintaining their culture against mixing with the world.

Of course. If you don't have children, then you need immigration from countries that do. That will obviously change your culture.

A nation is made up of people of a shared origin, history, culture, ethnicity, language. If you replace the people with immigrants and they create a new culture, the nation is no more.

> Japanese people will come to include all sorts of people, who will happily live together and move forward.

That's like saying white people will come to include all sorts of people.
What makes you think this list of studies is "carefully selected"? What makes your studies not carefully selected? In other words, if anti-saturated fat people levy the same accusation against the pro-saturated fat studies, why should I believe the pro-saturated fat side over the anti-saturated fat side?
