Doesn't that kind of assume that

a) there is only one user

b) they are logged in

c) they will be able to respond in a timely enough manner to allow other programs to allocate memory shortly

edit: d) there will be enough memory to start a program that is responsible for asking the user, and if it needs to connect to a display server then the display server will be able to allocate memory for surfaces that program can draw to to display the request to the user.
I respect your intentions, and if the CLA is truly restricted to relicensing as MIT or dual-licensing, I'd be more willing to use it.

I would hightlight that the dual licensing in particula introduces the issue of sharing any profits with other maintainers, if there are several. Personally if I'm submitting minor patches I would not bring this up, but it deter people from wanting to be more actively involved.

Depends on the size and scope of your project, I guess.
My thought process was that I would want to help others live productive lives.

> afraid of radiation and moving to LCDs

there was on brand of missproduced (I think TVs) which did actually had radiation issues ;=)

through the whole bad eyesight from sitting to close to a TV things was basically nonsense

they main issue which can cause strain and long term eyesight issues is from blinking to little and in turn getting to dry eyes which could lead to microscopic damage which can accumulate over the years AFIK

This is probably why your method works => you close the eye and force production of some tears .

Through eyeballs are sensitive and anything involving "spots appear in the vision" tends to be a bad idea, so I would personally refrain from doing so. Just "strongly" closing the eyes without involving your hands tend to be good enough for facilitating some tear production.
If we are talking about bit-serial CPUs, Olof Kindgren's SERV bears mention. It's a portable FPGA core rather than a breadboard, but it's bit-serial, RISC-V compliant and tiny!
We used to have a CLA for Solvespace (CAD) which is under the GPL3 license. There was some pressure to eliminate it, and some practical reasons as well so we dropped it. Since then, both FreeCAD (assembly 3) and Blender (via CAD sketcher add-on) have been using our constraint solver to great effect. Unfortunately they will probably never be able to tightly integrate it because both those projects are under GPLv2. I suspect we could offer that solver under another that license if those projects really wanted to go with it, but we no longer have a CLA so relicensing or dual licensing is off the table.

On a related note, this is why proliferation of FLOSS licenses is bad - it prevents smooth code sharing between projects. Use MIT, BSD, GPL3, or LGPL and call it a day. I'm still not sure how "compatibility" actually works.
I’m 40. I do 3 sets of 8 deadlifts about 5-10% over my body weight. This routine wears me out but each single rep feels easy. I can do this routine every day. You could say I’m maintaining, but I’m still reaping benefits years later. I consider it effective cross training for cycling. In between sets I do bicep curls and tricep kickbacks. My goal is to find a routine that will follow me until old age.
Most people shouldn't need a 3GHz 8-core CPU in their pocket to look at cats or check weather, but here we are. Simplicity by bloat come at a price.

> To me this is not necessarily dysfunctional.

If it wasn’t dysfunctional, it wouldn’t be a diagnosed with mental health condition to begin with.

I think this is a concept that is getting lost in mainstream mental health discourse: There is a big difference between anxiety the emotion and anxiety the mental health disorder. Similar story for depression and concentration struggles.

It’s normal to feel anxious at times. It’s not healthy when anxiety becomes so dominant as to interfere with normal activities of life, manifesting as the type of pervasive avoidance behavior described in this study.

This is becoming a huge problem among the young people I’ve mentored recently; They will go through phases where they become convinced, often by TikTok or Reddit, that they have ADHD, anxiety, and/or depression because they aren’t perfect robots who do marathon study sessions with a smile every day. I feel like I’m always explaining to them that it’s normal and healthy to feel some discomfort as they learn and grow. It’s not reasonable to expect everything in life to come easy. Of course, there are students who struggle with mental health issues as well, but the difference between someone struggling with lifelong ADHD and someone who just learned about ADHD through a serious of TikToks a few weeks ago and now thinks they have it is obvious when you’ve been working with them both for a long time.

> I take a more neutral approach on the finding and don’t yet assume this is something that is best medicated out of.

The study doesn’t say that this is “best medicated out of”. It specifically highlights exposure therapy as being effective in normalizing this in individuals who respond to it:

> and exposure therapy has been shown to restore frontopolar function in those PTSD patients that benefit from treatment.

I think this is another issue permeating pop culture discussion of mental health issues: The assumption that strong medications are the default response. Every medical professional I know prefers lifestyle interventions and therapy modalities to prescribing medications, but patients often arrive convinced that they need medication. If the provider recommends therapy or lifestyle interventions they often get angry that at the perception that the provider is being dismissive or not taking their problem seriously.
JRPGs either solve this problem by giving the gun guy materia slots, new different colored guns, or giving everyone generic magic.

(They are very bad at integrating this into the story. In Tales of Vesperia one specific ultra-cool sword is plot relevant, you lose it at one point in the game, and then you find one with better stats in a chest. Also FF7, the #1 gun guy game, has a snowboarding minigame right after a main character death.)

"The brain" is made up of matter, yes.

"The brain" is not physical like columns or iron. Those are simple objects. The kind physics likes to deal with. Things that are easily measured to describe its properties quantitatively and the relations of these properties as a placeholder for qualitative aspects (equations). Physics can't deal with the brain. No equation can be written.

If a bud's seeds were to sprout in place, instead of in the ground, you would have every single ancestor plant in a very long chain. Every brain is the result of this kind of structure. A mother buds and sprouts a new human. If the umbilical cords remain attached, we have a very similar kind of long chain of human brains. Not like any other physical object.

Physics is inadequate at studying "the brain". So, "the brain" is not a physical object.

Warhammer Fantasy has plenty of firearms, after all, what makes the Empire great?

Faith, steel and gunpowder.

And let's not forget about skaven, those have sniper rifles and gatling guns.
In fantasy the abilities of wizards and sword fighters are plausible within the constraints & difference with the real world. Eg magic isn't real and people don't fight with swords, so we're in an unknown territory where a large range of techniques are plausibly effective. You don't know a wizard so you can't really tell me this spell wouldn't work in this conflict, you know?

But people do fight with guns, and the abilities and techniques of guns and what advantages they offer are well understood, pressure tested in real conflict, and easy to find out about. The area of unknown is small, and so mostly the plausible techniques are the real ones.

You can tweak the plausibility by fuzzing off from real world uses with things like laser guns or muzzle-loading black powder, though that's still much better understood than wizard magic. You see a similar thing with fantasy melee too. Fencing is well understood even in the modern world, but how many fantasy sword fighters are recognizably fencers?

Notes on the Staff Engineer's Path: Part I
Fantasy avoids gunpowder because there is no character develipment. This is the same reason why guns are the great equalizer:

Just about anyone can semi-competently wield a gun after a ten hour course.

What this means is that guns brought down the warrior casts of Europe, Japan, etc. Guns are the great democratizing force since taw raw numbers become the most important metric of battlefield success.

With a stub nose revolver in her purse, any 110 lb woman can walk at night and have a fighting chance against a 250 lb 6ft 5 monster.

Makes for boring fantasy for sure. Makes for a fair society though.

Clearly armchair criticism from me, as no one can name something I’ve made as cool as micro. Perfectionism isn’t always great, kids!
One potential problem with this approach is that a person might not actually fear driving a car but dying in general, and this fear spills over into all parts of life. I don’t think you can CBT your way out of it.

I'm having a real hard time with this, not as hard as the people that new her personally I'm sure. But here's why Nova's passing is still so hard for me personally.

I grew up having my social life on the internet with strangers I don't meet. That is mostly it for me. I don't go to churches. I don't make close friends at work, generally. Nova is someone I knew through these same circles but didn't really interact with more than a handful of times. She made an outsized impact on me.

She was a pillar of the community. I feel strange mourning her as if I knew her personally. We never spoke outside of Twitch, Discord, chirp-box, Github. Not because I didn't want to know her, mainly because I am weird and didn't want to make things awkward, and I hope she appreciated not being bothered. I carried Hacking Capitalism with me all the way to Detroit to get it signed, and carried it around the conference hoping I'd get a chance to say Hi and it wouldn't be weird.

That chance never came and now I definitely have the regret.

But I do feel like I knew her better than I know most of y'all, who I call friends. Nova made an impact on me, as well as many other people, and she will be missed.

So narrow that it encompasses 90% of all fantasy in popular culture? Even science fantasy like Star Wars or Dune are all about swords.
I agree with this, but at the same time, that's exactly why I will have a CLA.

I am a one-man shop. I struggle to read code written by others because I struggle to build theory of mind.

So I do not want your contributions. My CLA is supposed to drive you away from giving them to me.

But on the flip side, I also want to be able to give commercial licenses to customers instead of the current AGPL-like license I have. For that, I need a CLA.

I also want to relicense to more permissive ones in the future after I'm established. I also want to release my stuff into the public domain on my death. For that, I need a CLA.

So I apologize, but my CLA is meant to stop you from contributing, but it's also important for making things more permissive later.

I'm 36 and I've now transitioned from being a natty quasi-powerlifter to a natty bodybuilder. I should have done it earlier. I haven't hit a strength PR in years.

I started with a strength programme called Greyskull LP which descends from the Starting Strength school of thought (although far superior IMO). I got some really good results with it. I'm naturally quite strong, so it took less than a year before I was doing things like 200kg deadlifts. I would watch other natties in the gym and, according to my own observations, I was usually the strongest guy in the room.

But the easy progression quickly stops. Once you get to lifting 2.5x your bodyweight off the floor, or dipping with 100kg attached to your waist, it starts to become really hard. I mean, yes, you've trained for it, but it's still incredibly taxing on the system and, let's be honest, not reflective of any real work anyone might carry out. Real work involves lots of toing and froing, not lifting one enormously heavy weight then going home.

I developed a really hard to change mindset that said if it's not heavy there's no point. I was still doing 3x5 reps of everything, often to failure, after years and years of lifting and never making any strength gains anyway. I eventually developed an elbow injury thanks to too many weighted chin ups. I prided myself on being able to chin up 3 plates when most people can't even do bodyweight. Well, now I can't do bodyweight either (not without pain at least).

I made the change after watching some of Scott Herman's more recent videos on Youtube. He's now 39 and still in excellent shape. Unlike most on Youtube, I believe he is natty too. He does high volume work which, naturally, will be nowhere your strength limit. I was still doing 3x5 reps, now I'm doing 3x8 with drop sets. Way more volume, way more variety of movements, way less weight. It's been so much better.

I'd still recommend a starting strength programme to beginners, but you really need to get off it after a year or so and decide whether you want to be a bodybuilder or strength athlete. And before you decide to be a strength athlete, look at seasoned strength athletes and decide if you want to look like them when you are their age, or not.

As for juiced bodybuilders/athletes, don't even consider it. You think you'll get more women (be honest, that's why you do it). But, in fact, the love of your life doesn't care how strong you are or if you are 10% body fat. All you'll do is destroy your body. Lifting heavy just destroys it even more (see Ronnie Coleman).

> There was no discrimination within jatis, in fact, they all supported each other for the sustenance of their jati.

While I do not doubt the rest of your comment, I have a hard time believing this. In my experience, humans are tribal animals, and are constantly jockeying for status, as individuals and tribes (even constantly moving in and out of multiple tribes).

The British may have formalized/utilized and exacerbated things, but I imagine any group of humans anywhere is always dividing and subdividing into various tribes for various purposes. The simplest being to show you are better than other potential mates in order to attract your preferred mate.
> Disk full is not a “corner case”.

I didn't say it was. There are plenty of disk full scenarios that can be handled by BTRFS without trouble, especially when adding more disks (even temporarily) is an option. There are ways to get stuck with a full fs, but it's not a guarantee you'll end up in a "wipe and restore from backup" situation. (And to be fair, ZFS also gets very problematic when completely full; this is a general problem for CoW filesystems.)
But it tends to not be about the "closeness" AFIK.

But about most "close work" being work which requires your eyes to focus on details, which in turn reduce the amount you blink, which in turn dries out your eyes which in turn can negatively affects it over a long time in various ways.

In children there is also the additional factor that part of their organs are potentially still developing and various external factors might nudge such development in bad directions. Through idk if that applies here.

Lastly some degree of sightedness is your brains ability to process the signals it gets, that part can sometimes, especially in children, make exact diagnosis surprisingly harder. You can sometimes observe this yourself if you have glasses, look with glasses at a text which without glasses you are barely not able to read. Then take of glasses and observe that while you initially are barely not able to read it after some time your brain tends to adapt and make it barely readable. So there is some chance that children brains might just have learned less to process far away signals, without their physical eye sight being change. Through I don't have time to find/read the study implicitly linked through the newspaper to check there methodology to check if it could have affected the study or if it couldn't have.
