This situation can sometimes be commonplace for homeschooled students and those in independent study programs where they don’t have access to the laboratories needed to do lab sciences such as chemistry and physics. This can also happen in schools where they offer courses that fulfill the minimum state requirements for a high school diploma but do not fulfill the requirements to enter a university. For example, some California high schools offer three tracks: (1) a basic track, (2) a college-prep track, and (3) a honors/Advanced Placement/International Baccalaureate track that is geared toward preparing students for admissions to top universities. For example, for biology, track #1 would be called “life science,” track #2 would be called “biology,” and track #3 would be Honors/AP/IB Biology. However, there are many high schools that only offer track #1 courses.

For example, for high school roughly 20 years ago in Sacramento, California I went to an independent study charter school where I met with a teacher roughly once a week and did my assignments primarily from home. My parents sent me to this school as an alternative to the low-performing, rather violent high school that I was assigned to attend. At the time I was a student there, there was no chemistry course offered (though biology was offered, and during my senior year physics was offered), but most of the universities I was interested in required a year of chemistry. I had two options: (1) take chemistry at another high school or (2) take an equivalent chemistry course at a community college. I opted for option #2; while this course was more basic than AP Chemistry and thus was not equivalent to that course, it was equivalent to high school chemistry, and because I took it at a community college I earned both high school and college credit.

I ended up taking seven community college courses in Spanish (my high school Spanish teacher left in the middle of the school year and it was unclear whether she’d be replaced, and so I took three semesters of Spanish at community college, which credit-wise was equivalent to four years of high school Spanish), chemistry, and computer science while I was in high school. This helped me get into Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, where I earned my bachelor’s degree in computer science.

I think it’s a good thing when colleges recognize that not everybody goes to competitive high schools with a wide array of college-prep courses. Students in these situations have to do the best they can with the resources they have, such as taking community college courses or taking AP tests.
I remember the circles concept working for about 2 weeks.

I'm into photography and people started creating "best photographers" circles, one of them had 700 posters in it. You could follow the entire circle with a single click after which your feed is pretty much done.

A handful of circles would be massively followed which means whoever was lucky to get in early, ruled the platform or niche.

I use PyCharm+Vagrant in my day job. Bidirectional syncing comes by default there and has been pretty seamless. I don’t usually need to create files in the VM but when I do having them appear on the host for inspection is great. I also haven’t noticed any performance issues with the setup compared to developing solely on the host.

> when there is no shortage of skilled immigrants coming into the US

Where did you get this idea from? Ask anybody hiring managers in tech (who are willing to pay well), and they’ll say there’s nothing but a shortage. And I’m sure there’s multiple other fields besides tech with a serious shortage.

Employers requested 758,944 visas for skilled workers (H1B), and the U.S. government due to congressional limits, can only issue 85,000 and will have to reject 673,994 applications.

You're right that I'm using "ally" informally, to mean that the country would be in the U.S. camp if there is a direct confrontation between the U.S. and China in the future. The U.S. doesn't have mutual defense treaties with either. I'm basing that claim on public opinion - the publics Vietnam loves America and distrusts China. The public of Mexico like both nations, though geography means manufacturing in Mexico can be relied on.

Born in 1961 and these articles don't touch on one thing that I remember when I was a kid: you only needed 5 numbers to dial if you were calling someone else in the same thing. This was the case at my grandparents in Bay City, Michigan in the late 1960s. My cousin's number was LIncoln 2-9729

But you're talking about JSON, not a concise string that is exposed to users, and not a data format optimized for size. If you want more than a basic type you give it structure - and durations are not trivial types nor common enough to deserve their own representation.

Durations optimized for storage without ambiguity would be the tuple (u64, u32, u8) where the first value is seconds, second value is nanoseconds (if precision is needed) and final value is epoch.

Durations displayed to a user wouldn't ever be stored so the point is kind of moot.

Optimizing for "time it takes someone to write it once" is kind of dumb since it happens once while reading it happens often, and parsing even more likely.

You put line numbers in the margin (with css styling), or I've also seen it as [#] inline in the text, possibly styled differently to make it more intuitive that it's not part of the source text.

For the vast majority of works that are untranslated, that isn't necessary, because, as mentioned, search works fine, and it's faster, too. For translated works, the concept of one published source of truth for page numbers is already broken, so you need some alternative to page numbers anyway.

Speaking as someone whose PhD was simulating the nuclear structure of nuclei like this... yes, we probably could, now.

Back then (like, 30 years ago, and I stopped doing physics after this so my memory of this is fuzzy) we were looking at simulations of nuclei like O16. I say 'we' - nuclear theorists were _very_ thin on the ground, we were the only remaining group in the UK. Most particle physicists are of the kind looking at subatomic particles, not nuclei. Anyway, we were attempting to port the code to run on parallel processors (a 96 transputer rack at the time), and then diagonalise the matrices of the interactions to get out a spectrum of energy levels. IIRC the matrices worked out as ~20m x 20m, and the technique used was the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lanczos_algorithm ... the problem we had was that the state space explodes combinatorically with increasing numbers of nucleons; and the computation time scaled something like n^1.1 for n states, due to inter-processor communication.

In the end that was what killed the project - it became clear that with moores law we were about 10 years from having affordable access to a computer that could do the calculation for larger shells (including O28, which was well out of our range).

That was the state for _exact_ calculations, but there were alternative approaches - I recall VAMPYR being a German Monte-Carlo simulator for shell models that performed really well, and could extract properties even for quite heavy nuclei.

Looking back a lot of the problems were just a lack of memory, even more so than compute. The matrix elements weren't stored explicitly but recalculated on the fly because we lacked memory, this led to us not using off-the-shelf matrix code and the whole thing had numerical stability issues and used lanczos because we could fit that into the memory on board the processors. These days I use servers in AWS with ungodly amounts of memory and extremely fast cpus, I'm pretty sure they could simulate this for a couple of hundred bucks.
> There are objective facts about the nature of reality

This is a pretty bold claim and you would have to do a bit of work to make it more convincing. Besides, it's not really how science works. Different theories wax and wane over time all the time. What we're really doing with science is coming up with ever better models that give us greater predictive power.

You could argue that at the macro scale we're asymptotically approaching some kind of objective truth with the whole endeavor of science, but you can't simply tunnel across that gap and make the leap to say that we know there is an objective truth.

The best that we can do is probably say something along the lines of "these are the best methods of getting closer to the truth that we have available - if anyone claims to have better methods, they are very likely wrong", but you still need to have the humility to accept that even the best models that we have to date are not infallible. They do not give us the objective truth, nor do they promise to, but they are the most effective tools that we have available to us at the current time. This is critically not the same as claiming that they give us the objective truth.

You could say that for all intents and purposes/everyday usage, "sure, these are objective facts about reality" - but I don't actually think that helps anyone and it serves to foment mistrust towards science and scientists. I think the best chance we have at preserving the status of science and scientists in our society starts by being honest about what it actually is giving us - which is quite a lot, but let's not oversell it for the sake of convience or whatever.

No not to NAS. To the local disk.

For example in Proxmox I have /media/ssd-storage/Containers/ where each subfolder is mounted to it’s VM (therefore isolated) and each VM’s docker-compose file brings in the volume mounts to it’s containers.

Then, all containers are backed up with a duplication of the ‘Containers’ folder. In a couple cases the container itself needs to be shut down in order to be backed up safely but those are few, far-between, and outdated.

Sweden has a chequered history when it comes to it relation to Jews. Before and during the first years of the second world war Sweden was mostly "neutral on the side of Nazi-Germany", it was only when the tides of war began to turn that Sweden became "neutral on the side of the allies". The stamped "J" (for "Jüde" or "Jew") in German passports for Jewish citizens was put there on the suggestion of Swiss and Swedish authorities which otherwise would have demanded visa for all Germans [1]. If you want to learn more about this history there is a book on the subject written by a (Jewish) stand-up comedian-turned-political-commentator named Aron Flam. The book is titled "This is a Swedish Tiger" [2] ("Det här är en svensk tiger", a pun on a Swedish wartime motto which relies on the double meaning of the term "en svensk tiger" in Swedish which means both "a swedish tiger" as well as "a swede keeps silent" and thus served the same purpose as "loose lips sink ships" for the allies and "feind hört mit" (the enemy is listening) for the Germans). In this book Flam describes how the Swedish state tried to profit from its "neutrality" by trading with Nazi Germany, allowing German troop transports to use the Swedish railroads while denying the Norwegian king to cross the border in order to flee those same troops, providing the German war machinery with vital components like ball bearings (a Swedish invention and speciality. the well-known SKF brand stands for "Svenska Kullagerfabriken", "Swedish Ball Bearing Factory"). The book is available in e-Book form in English, just search for "This is a Swedish Tiger" wherever you tend to search for books.

When I moved from Oklahoma to Colorado, and later Colorado to California, I got in with local modeling clubs first thing. Started my development of a new circle of friends right off the bat.

I don't mean to bird dog you on this (well that's not true, I totally do) but you keep making these arguments and not engaging when the facts. I've lost count of the number of times I've pasted these stats to you. But hey, I'll do it again!

Providing elective abortion access is crucial as so many things can go wrong--especially in the 2nd and 3rd trimesters [3]--and you really can't enumerate them all.

> If the rate were driven by medical reasons, it should be similar in Denmark and Canada.

But let's try! Why do people have second trimester abortions? Ironically, it's mostly an access issue [4], but there are other reasons [5] [6]:

- microcephaly and other fetal anomalies are typically only detectable in the 2nd trimester

- many people can't get the time off or can't get the funds (abortion is expensive for many people)

- waiting periods can force people into the 2nd trimester

- delayed recognition of pregnancy and delayed confirmation of pregnancy with a pregnancy test

- logistical delays occurred in arranging insurance to pay for the abortion

- problems locating a provider and time lost due to an inappropriate initial referral (abortion clinics are busy)

In truth, we already mostly have what Americans want [7]:

- 79.3% of abortions were performed at ≤9 weeks’ gestation

- nearly all (92.7%) were performed at ≤13 weeks’ gestation

And the other 7.3% aren't due to evil or cruelty, they're the result of the US' restrictive abortion regime and intense tragedy.

So we don't have to speculate about why people have 2nd trimester abortions; we know. And it turns out it's mostly just an access issue.

> There are over 60,000 abortions annually after the first trimester.

There are at least 3.5m pregnancies [8] annually in the US, plus between 650k-900k abortions [9], so this is < 2% of pregnancies. And again, there are lots of reasons for it.

The reason people think there will be water is that when water evaporates on the moon, it won't be instantly lost. Instead, it will bounce around for a while before it is (probabilistically) lost. If/when it hits a surface that's below freezing point in vacuum (~200K), it can instead freeze and stick to that surface.

There are believed to be such surfaces in permanently shadowed craters on the poles of the moon. They won't find any in any place where the rover can charge, but they might do short trips into shadowed spots, I don't know.
The article suggests control of fire is what lead to recovery of the population. So indeed quite a different time.
