as a counter-opinion, to the extent that I think about such things - it gives one a sense of agency. Almost certainly a false one. But the notion that I could have some control over my own life as my trust in the support network around me erodes is a small comfort.
This is ridiculous for a lot of reasons. I'll try to just point out the top one or two in the interest of brevity.

1. Predicting the long-term future is a bizarre and fruitless game. One might even say idiotic. If you're a prepper, and I'm not, prepare to live for a month or three. I do. Whatever the heck happens, within 90 days there will be some new normal. You're not trying to live forever. You're just trying to outlive temporary chaos. At that point, you're going to have to reinvent some kind of life. Who knows what that will be? Not me. Not this guy either.

2. He mentions wi-fi a lot. Gotta have that internet, gotta have that wi-fi, gotta have that bluetooth. I kinda doubt it. Can you go a day without internet? How about power? Just turn all of your stuff off. Most folks should be able to learn how to live like normal humans have for eons. There are various hobbies and occupations where you spend a lot of time without power or plumbing: scouts, infantry, etc. These people know what it's like. There are enough of them that the species itself will do just fine no matter what sort of apocalypse you can dream up.

It seems the problem with this essay, like so many pieces of media I consume daily, is the desire for _certainty_. Here's problem A. Here's exactly what it means, what causes it, and so on. And you have to do B to fix it. (Or, in this case, there is no B)

Disasters are chaotic and uncertain. Assuming climate disasters, moreso. But that both means that things are going to be tougher _and_ you can't have-wave your way around predicting how it all will turn out. Are many people who think themselves preppers disillusioned about their actual skills and their ability to adapt? Absolutely! But that's a one sentence essay. What's the fun in writing and commenting about that?

Apologies to the author. I believe there is a good one sentence thesis in there somewhere. But this sucked. I wish you better in the future.
Space Exploration goes out of it’s way _not_ to make things pointlessly grindy.

Your definition of grindy is not my definition of grindy - maybe "pointlessly" was a little harsh on my part. It's cool though - different people have different opinions. I have built vanilla bases large enough to have a fairly significant amount of SPM so I am pretty well versed in using circuits, trains, etc.
Also, if civilisation breaks down, I'm not sure I want to be around to see the result anyway...
When I plugged in the iPhone via cable to my Windows PC, I could only extract pictures which were taken recently, god knows why.

Apple officially recommends to install iCloud on the PC and download the files from there, but they didn't let me disable the upload of the files on my PC, so I uninstalled iCloud again.

Then the recommendation was to just download it from iCloud Web. Which I did. But for some reason iCloud downloads default to a lower resolution (720p video in my case) instead of the full resolution. To do this I had to click on a small button, which then gave me the option to download my own files in full res.

Of course I only noticed that I'd downloaded a lower res after editing a video for 5 hours. All in all, an extremely subpar experience. Every Android phone ever can just transfer files over cable to any PC, for some reason just iPhones have to be complicated...
The only reason I’d use Ubuntu these days is their shipped kernels coke with ZFS. Otherwise I’m a Fedora/CentOS boy.
One problem is that many so-called flame wars are differences over one or more points of contention - resolving these is often a subjective matter, so for dang to perform that task fairly (disciplining one individual among two/many), it would require him to be an unbiased, perfectly rational human being.

I am not demanding this of him of course, but this sort of level of finer details seem to not get discussed in the many threads like this that I've read.
We had this tropical storm in SoCal last weekend. It was confusing to see people crowing that they didn't suffer any damage as some sort of victory in being right (which is also confusing, because they were conflating awareness of the storm with panic) rather than luck that the storm changed paths, etc.
Interesting, that's neat. Somehow didn't realize using it like this was an option, but now that you mention it...
Yeah among other things that caused me to abandon it, there is no relationship between expansion and neighbor aggression or any other external pressures (though maybe I did not progress far enough to encounter those elements if they exist).
The build script changed slightly four days ago, and you will need git in the future (and build from a checkout of the repo.)
Languages aren't concrete things. They are historical chains of interacting cause and effect where a person learns to speak from a community then joins the community and in so doing propagates the language to others. Asking about the "age" of a language doesn't really make any sense, except for constructed languages like Esperanto, and even those aren't really denovo because they inevitably are created by people who already spoke another language.

A better question is what language has the longest period of mutual comprehensibility, e.g. if you took a speaker from time A to time B. As an English speaker, I could talk to Shakespeare with some mild accommodations, but I would have a lot of trouble talking to Chaucer.

For written languages, the period of mutual comprehensibility can end up being thousands of years long because people in later generations are trained on the earlier texts, but for spoken languages, things tend to break up after a few hundred years. The best chance for a spoken language to maintain intelligibility is to have some kind of religious community that insists on preserving the old dialect, like Sanskrit (where there is a well preserved canon of pronunciation), Classical Arabic (Quran recitation), Hebrew, Latin, etc.
Can confirm performance is pretty good on Macs too, even older Intel models.

Turning on reader view to read medium.com. How the turntables have ...
Good example. Yeah, it’s got most of that going on (plus some other things) and doesn’t obviously (though, a little, kinda, obliquely) feature either the plot or surface-level trappings of Frankenstein—so, it doesn’t look like parody.

My point was that if you want Cyberpunk’s “Frankenstein”, it’s probably not to be found in works that look too much like Frankenstein on the surface—those’ll just be borrowing tropes or tending toward parody, and won’t be Frankenstein-like in ways that matter.
You are making a semantic argument that virtually no linguists accept. We get your point, we just don't think it makes sense for how we define languages.
Government contracts are work done in exchange for money. They are not subsidies as much as you might wish for them to be.

If the government buys 1000 pens because it literally needs them to do its job, it isn't subsidizing the pen industry.

Here in Denmark, I remember having power lines up in the air on utility poles from back when I was a child. Nowadays they are buried safely under ground, just like the fiber cables and whatever else is needed to keep a modern society running. Why is this not the case in the US?
Their gross margins are around 30%, so I'm guessing $0.50-$0.75.

They have about 8000 stores, so that's about $35 in shrinkage per store per day.
While facing a total loss of internal infrastructure and customer data, CloudNordic has declined to pay the ransom.
anecdotally, every prepper type I personally know falls under that category (the petty vindictive hope of everyone else getting screwed while they have the last laugh)
Sounds like eternal beta.
I try and search my feelings a bit for this sort of thing, and what you describe probably does play a bit of a factor - I'd say it's more of an "I told you so" feeling.

But the thing is that I am truly worried to my core about global warming and I have been for more than a decade at this point. This year has brought anomalies that are terrifying and I think the majority of people at least now feel that something is going wrong. I don't want to see collapse - I like my showers and air conditioning as much as anyone. But the way things are just looks more and more precarious to me.

The packagers can make their own snapshot, but they don't want to grab a full .git directory for the source - distributions such as Debian never want to do that: The packager is responsible for auditing all the code including copyright status in the artifacts - best not have the whole history of the project included in that case, because the task is then a little bit too big.
Just finished flipping through Issue 14 you linked. Wow, that's a time I wish I'd been old enough to appreciate. I wonder if anything like Mondo 2000 exists these days. Or maybe it's a time that's just passed us by.

Equivalent settings makes the comparison more useful, and storage-conscious readers will pick-up that Postgres uses 4-6x more.

This is why I cannot understand how the 'sovereign citizen' nonsense is at all appealing to anybody. If I'm my own boss and not morally subject to society's rules, how is it not fair game then for society to completely ignore my desires and needs? Like, ok, lets say our courts have no jurisdiction over you, but then it also follows that we can just shoot you dead where you stand and move on with our society. I get that it feels unfair to be born into rules you didn't agree to, but a second's reflection makes it obvious the other alternative is not at all a good one.
Moltex thinks their SSR-W can burn existing waste for cheaper. It will be interesting to see if they succeed.
thats the thing though, elixir you can write it in a synchronous style and to make it concurrent is usually very easy because the semantics of regular and concurrent code is essentially the same.

for example refactoring something like this:

File.stream!("path/to/some/file")
|> Stream.flat_map(&String.split(&1, " "))
|> Enum.reduce(%{}, fn word, acc ->
Map.update(acc, word, 1, & &1 + 1)
end)
|> Enum.to_list()

to be async, concurrent, (Flow uses GenServers under the hood, A GenServer is a process like any other Elixir process and it can be used to keep state, execute code asynchronously and so on.)

File.stream!("path/to/some/file")
|> Flow.from_enumerable()
|> Flow.flat_map(&String.split(&1, " "))
|> Flow.partition()
|> Flow.reduce(fn -> %{} end, fn word, acc ->
Map.update(acc, word, 1, & &1 + 1)
end)
|> Enum.to_list()

The point is the code isn't radically different and is easy to understand if you understand the first block of code.
It's not a mod. It's a setting in base game.

Any sufficiently complicated distributed program contains an ad hoc, informally-specified, bug-ridden, slow implementation of half of Erlang
Its hard to give up code/art which has gathered a lot of value. Copyright isn't dumb because once your code/art amasses a value of more than $1m or whatever is the threshold for you, you would absolutely want to protect it.
Good point, though I think my point about user types still holds. It is very difficult to create any efficient user types of your own with the primitives Beam provides.

It’ll rise when there are more employers competing for the workers.

Until then they don’t have to try so hard to find people, students can see the bad salaries ahead of time yet they study for a decade for these roles regardless.
Interesting that you think that, don't you think a domino effect is possible regarding climate disaster?
Put a debugging statement in and you'll verify that the dictionary only contains primes up to the square root of the one just generated.

To do that it recursively contains a second prime generator that only produces up to the square root. Which contains one that produces up to the fourth root. And so on until you get down to 3. The work and memory for those recursive generators is a rounding error compared to the initial prime generator. The work and memory saved by not keeping unnecessary primes is a significant win.
While he mentions the slowness of LLVM, it would have been cool to see Jamie's thoughts on tinycc and qbe as well. I've been looking into the fastest options for generating and executing machine code (without me doing it all myself; generating and compiling C feels like a happy medium).

What do you mean by "other cluster data methods that can be more directly used to tease out causal relationships"? What clustering approaches can tease out causal relationships? Thanks in advance!
Same with my ChemE degree didn’t want to work for oil companies, best alternative was switch to data stuff. Pay and work location/conditions did not make sense otherwise.
What about languages we can only speculate about? E.g: the several languages of the Khoe-Sān people in South Africa.

It is generally assumed that their language is, phonetically, the most "different" in the world and therefore we can suppose that it was one of the first to derive from the hypothetical "proto-language".
> not understanding that nowadays it is impossible to own a home unless you inherit one.

My barber, who neither went to college nor inherited anything, lives on a 10-acre property with his wife (who works as a teacher) and two children. His secret? The home is a mobile home (they're saving up to build a real house), and he's in a low COL area with reasonable home prices, with the only real disadvantage being that the rest of the country thinks it's in a "shithole state".

Your statement, properly amended, is as follows: it's impossible to own a home in a highly desirable, relatively low-density area, with many high income earners and lots of inbound migration both internal and external, unless you inherit one. Which of course makes perfect sense, and there's nothing wrong with that picture.
Cool, I think this is a recent development, but still, seems to be only for the end user
It has been an eternal, abandoned beta for many years. But sounds like work resumed now. Maybe one day it shall be stable.
Yeah, the protagonist’s a guy (Shelley was raised by her dad…) and the he-does-it-with-science thing is definitely there (though he’s nothing at all like the mad scientist from the films) but I do think the book leans much more strongly toward motherhood (and especially pregnancy and birth) than fatherhood, themes-wise, though it’s definitely not the only thing going on, either.
One thing I've seen about other columnar databases (e.g. Clickhouse) is that they're bad at k/v style lookups. Why is that? Your explanation would make me think otherwise, as we would be able to quickly scan the columns using our sequential reads, ideally.
That one's pretty cool too! I will update the list later with this and OS.js
I consider Timescale to be more of a hybrid than a "pure" columnar DB. IIRC the latest chunks are row-wise, but it goes columnar for older chunks to compress them. You can do a lot of OLAPish stuff, but it's arguably OLTP-first.

I don't want to contribute to any AI models, regardless of who is making them. I don't have an issue with scraping for most other purposes, but there's no way to differentiate based on purpose.
My recollection of the contentious issues at the time are that a) the Celera project needed the information being made public by the NIH/international Human Genome Project in order to assemble sequences, but was keeping secret its own results, and b) it was intent on acquiring IP rights before the information entered the public domain.
TL;DR: No, at least not by skin contact, although you may ingest PFAS in your drinking water later on, caused by the washing of said clothing. Whether PFAS is (/are?) truly bad for you is still TBD, although the chances of this being an 'asbestos' situation are uncomfortably high.

Very insightful point - do you think that OpenAI and Microsoft are aiming at developers so that we may spill this knowledge by N-shotting the chat query? I.e if the AI doesn't understand some fundamental knowledge, often i'll teach it so that it can be more effective at helping me, inadvertently I spill some of this tucked knowledge.

Sure, but I can't stay unemployed until the market picks up, since nobody knows when that will be. If I go back to firmware and wait it out until the market picks up again, I might be too old to be considered worthy of a career switch if companies can find juniors 20 years younger.
It isn't clickbait at all. It's a serious issue.

Your interactions with the site are visible through these third parties. The college crows that they're don't provide PII, but the whole point of tracking pixels is that those services already know precisely who you are. Facebook, Tiktok, et al have tracking pixels precisely because it allows them to farm more information to fill out the profile of a user.

Only the technically ignorant or dystopian don't see a profound issue with this.

You could certainly get away without some of the other stuff but, as another comment has mentioned, it requires some infra know-how. Like, you can't "just" use ETS as a Redis replacement without setting it up in a way that its data won't get blown away during a blue-green deploy.
It's interesting to me the differences between countries. In South Africa, the first way you get your final grade 12 results (which are used for university admissions) is via the newspapers. Every year, everyone's grades are published in a massive list everyone can see.

Good point. Even if we're stuck on Earth for a while, I wonder if the repression he mentions will manifest itself meaningfully. E.g. today, how repressed are the Amish, who have famously high birth rates? Exempt from SS taxes and ACA requirements, few incidents of "outsiders" harassing them, etc. I find it hard to imagine pro-natal subcultures will really feel targeted unless there are other factors at play.
fascinating tactic. i wonder if there are any countermeasures?

- surely this does not work in all cases, only those where protestors are still convinced of the lawfulness of a peaceful protest, exploited by the threat actors (police)

- what is the maximum size of a "kettle?" can this be exploited by creating an oversized kettle such that it would "burst?"

- could kettling trigger a violent fight-or-flight response depending on demographic? many wild animals will exhibit ferocity when similar tactics are imposed.

- can you kettle a peaceful --yet fully armed-- protest? what are the benefits? risks?

- what is the economic impact to the city? minneapolis and other US locales have had to pay millions to settle unlawful detainment lawsuits during such events. is there a "break-even" point where kettles will be avoided for fear of inciting overwhelming expenditures? does the class/race makeup matter?
A breakthrough in human life extension technologies could help alleviate the need to have more children to perpetuate the species. It is conceivable, as indicated in some research papers, that next century humans might be able to live past 100 with a high quality of life through advanced medical interventions.

Now, of course, we face great unknowns in how things will turn out in the future. So, living past 100 might be a moot point if society has broken down.

Trains are my favourite part of the game, and I always make myself a massive bowl of train spaghetti. I love watching my trains automatically find their way across my messy maze of train tracks.

My simple rules:

* Trains can only stop on the section after a regular signal. If you don't want a train to be able to stop in a certain place (like on an intersection), don't use a regular signal in front of it.

* Make sure trains have places where they can stop. This will mostly be stations, but that's not enough. Actually, I've been wondering if it might be enough for stations that are only visited by a single train; then the train would only go if it has a clear path straight to its destination. Maybe I should give this a try. For me, however, the straights outside the intersections are usually fine places for trains to stop. But for better throughput and less blockage, there should probably multiple tracks, and special tracks for trains waiting to enter a station currently occupied by another train.

* Trains cannot pass a signal on their left if there's not also a signal on their right. You can use this to make certain tracks single-direction. Single-direction is good and easier than double-direction, so of course I mix them, because I'm not playing this game because I like things easy.

* Don't forget to give your trains a place to refuel! This is actually the part I mess up the most.
