> I don’t want to lose the experience of reading a book I’d never heard of but found on a stoop, or rereading a book even if it doesn’t count toward an annual goal. I don’t want every book I read to be a mappable point in the fated conception of me and what other things I might like (to buy).

Somewhat OT but this is maybe my biggest gripe with digital game stores as well. It’s anathema to what I look for when reading as well as playing. Alas on Nintendo Switch at least there are still physical games to be found and not everything is a damn metric by now.. (“82.2% of players have this achievement”).

> Prettier than Goodreads, it repeats the strange effects of reading for pleasure in an age of digital surveillance, while claiming that it isn’t.

The cat has been out of the bag for a while now. We have amplified the baked in (and notoriously unchecked) in/voluntary surveillance aspects of our modern information systems by continually trying to map them to well proven social concepts. The result being the sheer pervasiveness of this post privacy world, now also clearly affecting the people who were and are still claiming to not having “anything to hide”.

Amplified and scaled up functions of this (“surveillance / software at scale eating the world”) partially at play now everywhere with much increased and lamented acts of the performative, loss of substance and depth, loss of connection, etc.

I’m of course trying not to think of a pink elephant nor any potential upvotes at all right now…

Maybe going increasingly / pragmatically “organic” is a good way forward (backward)? Ironically that’s one of the very few things Elon Musk has helped me with so far as I have only really started to question / lose interest in “social media” in general since his strange quest for the destruction of Twitter.

Hyperbolic edit: maybe that was Elon’s plan all along (!?)
Pleased to hear that - I felt dumb when I made that mistake! But now I know I'm not alone.
> Do something, so we can change it

This is what musicians do - put in nonsensical filler lyrics until they work out the rest of the song. Sometimes the throwaway lyrics are even kept. The Beatles did this to great effect in the Get Back documentary. It was so cool to see how the now legendary songs took shape. You got to start somewhere. Everything is iterative.
Russia's actions today aren't exactly demographic in nature - they're precipitated by the trade balance shifting away from oil exports, which were what maintained post-Soviet state expansion. The pressure to move to an overtly authoritarian, expansionist regime correlates with the state no longer being able to enrich the top level. See [0] - the onset of the oil glut coincides with the Crimean annexation. Annexation in this light is a "last gasp" scapegoating play for the regime, the specific justifications don't matter that much.

Russia has long had a colonial ethno-state element - the vast territory predisposes a federal model, but the best way to secure control over many generations is through blood ties to Moscow. So what's enacted through the war - what makes it a good scapegoat - is a vigorous restatement of the status quo: at least, as planned, they were going to take Kiev in a few days, call "mission accomplished" , and resettle ethnic Russians in the region. The emphasis on civilian targets is a "you aren't valuable, your land is valuable" kind of statement, inherited from the Soviet period, and from the monarchy before that.

Especially if that service reached PAE, SEA, PDX airports. There's a ton of SEA->PDX flights.

https://www.portseattle.org/sea-tac/flight-status?flight_dat...

shows 23 unique aircraft flying SEA->PDX today and 32 unique aircraft flying PDX->SEA

At ~$80/seat one-way and ~80 passengers/flight, that's >$100M/yr in revenue.

Existing trains take 3.5 hr for the journey. Existing flights take 1 hr for the flight + time spent in security, so trains aren't that far off.

Furthermore, there are ~30,000 cars traveling each way each day along I-5 between Seattle and Portland (https://www.chehalisbasinstrategy.com/wp-content/uploads/201...) .

Speedy train service really would make a difference.
Gosh just how did they manage with the CDs and 12-bit audio, like animals.
Side thought: If Microsoft thought there was a market for booting an Xbox into Windows they would sell it already. (Windows for Xbox for Workgroups 2H13)

There was a working, officially supported Miracast app on the Xbox One for a while and I used that for a screen extender of a Windows 10 Phone and a laptop for a few years before the app stopped working. I think it stopped working only because no one was using it.

Not the poster you're replying to, but despite the fact that I think you're right, the mistake you've highlighted on is pretty reasonable given that there's people from many countries here and plenty of people default to C vs. F. No need to go on the attack to make a helpful correction. :)

I'll be over here cooking an egg on the sidewalk if you need me.
Right. Monetization is the key issue. Doing a bunch of work, giving it away for free... doesn't pay the bills, or it pays it in a very roundabout way that's not necessarily a good thing. Eg Google's contributions to Open Source is huge, but it's on the backs of advertising. Advertisment brings with it a lot of morally grey areas. If, instead, we built things, and got paid directly to build those things, by people who are able to recognize the value of that work and compensate monetarily for it, then maybe things would be different. Open Standards and interchange formats, yes but, I'm less sold on open source when abuses like by RedHat (which is currently on the front page) gain traction.
I've honestly lost all interest in anything integrating with OpenAI at this point. Llama 2 is giving completions at ChatGPT levels with a single GPU. I've replaced all of my LLM usage with it.

And yet, Wells Fargo is still in business and still has customers. And they kept their name. Amazing. Utterly Amazing. Economics, where art thou?

I know it's weird, but go to your local library. Walk the stacks of a subjects/section that appeals to you and then just pick books up and check them out a little, maybe even take one home!

I think Metal would have 100% happened even if somehow the game industry didn't exist. It was all about getting better performance, especially better performance per watt by making more optimal use of the hardware. I don't think the OpenGL model of GPUs was ever going to get there. Since Vulkan just didn't exist when Apple was looking at the landscape they decided to make their own system.
10-25mg seems really high. UK NHS advice is 2mg for sleep, 3mg for jet lag, w/advice it can be increased to up to 10mg if you don't get the desired.effect at lower doses.

For my part, 3mg leaves me totally ruined (exhausted, lethargic, worse than being ill) the following day. 1mg seems to improve my sleep, but I can totally believe less would work too. I will certainly not go higher.

UK is weird with this - I can order all kinds of stuff from abroad that I can't buy OTC here, but there's also another recent "workaround": online pharmacies here can sell you a variety of prescription drugs provided they ask you the appropriate questions and have a prescription issued as part of the sales process. Got my last melatonin that way.
> Dr John Lieurance is a Chiropractic Neurologist and Naturopathic Physician

I had never heard of a Chiropractic Neurologist. Interesting.

Welp reading about him was a wild ride. To save people a click -

> After becoming severely ill with Lyme, EBV and Mold illness, Dr John Lieurance began to explore ways to improve health at the deepest cellular level. His journey brought him to discover Melatonin as the core anti-oxidant that supports all systems in the body. His book on Melatonin takes a deep dive into healing naturally and using high dose melatonin, along with various other practical healing methods to heal the body and live a longer and more vital life.

His life focus is on vitality, longevity and enhanced consciousness. His interest is in connecting what he calls, "The 3 legs of a stool": Vitality of the body, Mind Mastery & a Direct experience of God. Using science and ancient wisdom, he aims to connect these dots in his own journey to becoming the best version of himself in this life. Diving deeply into many healing methods, to discover the deepest and most profound means to activate cellular energy, such as with Melatonin, Methylene Blue, NAD+, as well as fasting with various nutrients to activate responses. Dr. John explores many new paths in the health care world, with his unique & fresh ideas using various delivery systems, such as suppositories and nasal sprays and various protocols he has created. He attended Parker College of Chiropractic & received his Naturopathic degree in 2001 from St. Luke's School of Medicine. He has practiced Functional Neurology, Naturopathic medicine and Regenerative Medicine, using stem cell therapy in Sarasota for 25 years. Founder of the Advanced Rejuvenation Center in Sarasota, Florida, and founder of Functional Cranial Release – which is an Endo-Nasal Cranial Treatment with the ability to unlock the spinal fluid to allow profound healing of the nervous system. See his next book "It's All in Your Head: Endo-Nasal Cranial Therapy". He has been involved in multiple clinical trials, including investigation into the use of stem cells for Parkinson's Disease, COPD, OA of the knee and hip from 2012-2014. He has a clinical focus on mold illness, Lyme disease and chronic viral infections.

>For example, common carriers provide a "service to the general public without discrimination" (quoting Wikipedia), where "discriminate" has a far broader meaning than a dozen or so protected classes of most civil rights laws.

Why would this be a better example, as this would mean having to argue a similarity for all businesses to be treated as common carriers, or else the new law would be limited only to some businesses which isn't the intent.

The example I gave shows that, with justifiable reasons, the government can limit the ability of any business to refuse service. Now it becomes a question of if working around contracts is a justifiable reason or not.

>The law right now says forces you "to follow the contract you agreed to."

For certain definitions of 'follow'.

>All Red Hat needs to do is terminate the existing contract and offer a new one. Those that don't want the new contract no longer have a contract. Totally legit.

And I'm suggesting a change in the law which expands the reasoning that such decision might be deemed to not be totally legit, just like they can't do so for certain reasons already as we have decided the social good of banning those reasons is worth the government having such power.

> And those studies suggest that melatonin plays a critical part in your circadian rhythm, which kind of implies that adding it to your food would also screw with your circadian rhythm. That alone seems like a good enough reason to caution against adding it into the food supply.

I think you're correct. But electric light also screws with your circadian rhythm, and that's a concern almost nobody takes seriously. Years back I built my own automated lighting system [1] and the biggest thing I learned from it is that I'm not a responsible lightswitch user. My sleep schedule used to be very chaotic. But once I set up my screens and my house to dim and redshift in line with a regular day-night cycle, I not only started sleeping very regularly, but my mood and focus improved.

When electric lighting was introduced it notably changed sleep schedules. [2] But we got used to that and just kinda went with it, even though surveys show massive problems with sleep. For me now it's a cautionary tale about how little we understand the impact of technologies we adopt.

This is the exact technique I used that made me a better developer. I would take on the task of rewriting code in my own time (small team where my rewrite didn't affect others). There were times where I misjudged how difficult the rewrite was, but I stuck with it and took it as a learning experience to make sure next time I thought things through further before moving ahead with a complete rewrite. Now that I'm more experienced, I tend to get more important (and difficult) projects, and no longer attempt the large scale rewrite. I do definitely throw away portions of code and rewrite, though. I think there's a balance to achieve.

This comment got downvoted but I think it's an important question.

Answer is: probably not, for the other reason stated. But it is sort of the wrong question too. Is underbrush removal the problem? Not really. There are a lot of things fire removes, besides underbrush, and restores to a natural state.

What we need to wrap our heads around is _fire is natural_; it's been here eons before humans walked the earth, and the native trees and forest have long evolved to take advantage of it.

The question we might ask instead is: why are so we so opposed to a natural process? Fire is definitely bad inside things like cities. However, a prescribed burn has enormous benefits that have been detailed in science literature ever since we noticed a decline in forests.
Just a warning for folks getting excited, I think Overtone was cool, but it's a dead project and there are lots of currently live options for doing similar things instead. Overtone has not seen work from the author since 2015 as he now focuses on Sonic Pi, his Ruby based system. And it's had very minimal activity by others in a long time.

If you want to use something similar to Clojure, there is CL-Collider, the common lisp front end to supercollider.

Or on a related but different tip, I am the author of Scheme for Max and Scheme for Pd, which you can use to script Max and PD with s7 Scheme. I will be doing another release this fall having now just finished my Master's thesis on it. There is also Julien Vincenot's MoZLib for CL alongside Max. Extempore is another Scheme based live coding system.
There’s a huge wave of startup failures coming, due to the overexuberance in 2021.

Basically, a large chunk of the unprofitable startups that raised in 2021 are going to fail at becoming profitable and be forced into fire sales or bankruptcy.

A recent example is Clutter, a moving company that raised $300m, who was forced into a fire sale for $30m.

These founders are going to learn the hard way one of the reasons why VC’s were willing to assign sky high valuations (bc they have downside protection)

It is simply them defining under what terms you can use their product.
Is the producing part correct? My understanding is that once cooled they reject magnetic fields, not produce them. According to wikipedia:

"The Meissner effect (or Meißner–Ochsenfeld effect) is the expulsion of a magnetic field from a superconductor during its transition to the superconducting state when it is cooled below the critical temperature. This expulsion will repel a nearby magnet."

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meissner_effect

>> calling Nature (Nature!) an "online sensational clickbait magazine"

> Not far from the truth

It's very far from the truth; nothing is perfect, but Nature isn't some SEO clickbait. This subthread shows that the reactionary takedowns of everything now even are taking down Nature, of course. They've already discredited much of science, and have a lot of blood on their hands (climate change and vaccines stand out).
They're source-compatible, so if you write it for GNUStep you should also get a functioning macOS application if you build it with that target (you just won't get whatever they call Carbon and Cocoa nowadays).
Specific to the estimate... it's not scientific to guess a number because you proved guessing isn't a risk because it's such a non-factor. In general you just remove the non-factor.

> there are many options for functional languages that compile to JS

Arguably, depending on what you're building, the pain of integrating an entirely different language into your stack is greater than the pain of simply using something like Ramda (or, better yet, just writing simple, imperative code). YMMV of course—if the problems you're solving lend themselves naturally to purely functional code, maybe something like Rescript or PureScript may be worth it, but for most projects, I'd guess probably not.

Yes sure.

That is why Argentina was in the top 10 of the world until Peron, and now we barely make it to the middle.

He created a movement of people that they indoctrinated to believe that Peron is god and everything they say is saint's words.

My family suffered persecution from the party: my grandfather had a refrigerators SMB, the syndicate came to him and asked to provide X number (I don't recall) of refrigerators so that they can give them away to the poor. My grandfather gave them and then had to close.

He was also a pedophile, my mother told the story and how he would come to the school and put money in his pants, so that the girls of the school can take it out from his pants.

He supported Mussolini and the Nazis, there are many families of Nazis in Argentina, people that escaped from Europe with the complicity of Peron.

77 years latter we have populism (8 million people support the remaining 40 million in Argentina), corruption, fanatics, more corruption, 6 in 10 kids do not eat all days, etc. etc.

Yeah, right, Peron's first government was fantastic.
I still don't understand.
