No worries! Just wanted to make sure you were aware of other perspectives.

And a good place in general to start is always Wikipedia:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philosophy_of_mathematics

And none of this has anything to do with the "quantum physics fallacy" at all. Philosophically, it's simply an argument about the most basic physical understanding of our universe, and right now that happens to be quantum physics.
The improvements from using a transaction are familiar to me and make intuitive sense. But can someone explain why using a prepared statement results in a roughly 5x improvement? Parsing the very simple SQL doesn't seem like it would account for much time, so is the extra time spent redoing query planning or something else?
Treating everything as nothing more than a financial asset is way too reductive.

My point here is that housing is not only a financial asset, and should be treated as more than just a financial asset. Or if you want to take an economic approach here, you need to come up with a utility function that more accurately reflects what we care about—we think that two people who have housing is a better situation than one person who has two houses and one person who has none.

Here's a redacted version: https://gist.github.com/dbrgn/137da9e9ad342d536d1e452fba3e9d... Maybe it's useful as reference. It includes multiple network interfaces, a firewall, VLANs, DNS and ad blocking (plus two network services). (This version of the config does not yet make use of podman, I'm still in the process of setting everything up.)

I'm also using nix flakes, to keep the setup reproducible.

If you want to get started, I can recommend the following:

1. Install nixos. That will only take a few minutes, and you end up with a system in which you have a "/etc/nixos/configuration.nix" file. Now you can edit the config file, run "nix-rebuild switch", and the changes have been applied. Every change results in a new entry in the bootloader menu, so you can always rollback.

2. Check out this great blog series: https://www.jjpdev.com/posts/home-router-nixos/ It helped me a lot.

3. Use https://search.nixos.org/options to search config options (the stuff in your config file).

Note: The blogpost still uses the classic way of managing network devices. I use Systemd, which I think is nicer and more flexible.
I get the following snippet: Yes, an egg can be melted," reads the Google Search result shared by Glaiel and confirmed by others.

I don't really get that "unique" fingerprint

Sure I'm unique. I try it in private mode.

Close down the window, switch VPN endpoint, and retry, and once again I'm unique.

Looking at the values it seems they are identical. How do they know that the two tests are the same user

If I try outside of private mode I see differences in DNT (set to true in private mode, false in not private mode) and in Hardware Concurrency (4 in private mode, 2 in non-private mode). The rest of the entries are the same.

This is yet another opinion piece in the phonics vs antiphonics teaching wars - and an incorrect opinion in my opinion!

Lombok is a compiler extension, where this is an API for the JVM. So two very different things. Think of Lombok/compiler extensions as #include directives in C... things that happen at compile time. This API is for writing programs at runtime, past the compile phase.

Because this is the description of the act "the careful watching of a person or place"

This is a non-inclusive list of reasons why and whom may perform the act "especially by the police or army", "for the purposes of catching criminals"

There are many acts that are defined by 'who' does it. The act of surveillance is not one of them. For example a private investigator can surveil you. A business can do the same by intentional action (for example selling hidden tracking devices to ensure they can find you if you are kidnapped) or unexpected action (your cell phone reports back to a server every 30 seconds of an exact GPS location of where you are).

This is sad: "years spent campaigning to get doctors to take the illnesses seriously."

It's like that saying, "Capitalism: The worst economic system, except for all the others". Our medical system where we rely on individual doctors for primary care is really flawed but it's better than any alternatives that we have (or that we can afford anyway)
I don't think I've ever had a JRE podcast recommended to me on Spotify. They seem to have dialed down the podcasts in the front page (or at least they did so for people who care less about them, like me). I still get some and I agree that it's pretty annoying especially when I misclick on a podcast (especially jarring since podcasts have ads even with premium!)
Sugar substitutes lead to metabolic issues that outweigh the reduction of calories eaten. If you also eat food that contains sugar, then they cravings they cause lead to blood sugar spikes later in the day. This is all settled science.

Anyway, I'd love to get some links to the scientific studies that the flat Earthers have saying the earth might be flat, after all.

Also, I don't think the anti-vaxxer's citation of one retracted study about mercury poisoning is really comparable to the dozens of non-retracted studies showing negative effects of artificial sweeteners across multiple mammals (including humans), or the work showing the chain of causal relationships that lead to metabolic issues.

Similarly, climate change has been scientific consensus since at least 1980, and I'm arguing on the side of scientific consensus, not against it.

The sweeteners cause incorrect hunger satiation signaling (as does HFCS), and also screw up your gut microbiome. The incorrect signaling makes you hungrier after eating the sweetener. If you eat at that point, then there goes the caloric intake benefits.

If you don't eat at that point, your body reacts by slowing down your metabolism, conserving more calories than you saved from avoiding sugar and also discouraging you from exercising. Over time, the lack of exercise and artificially lowered metabolism leads to a lower base metabolism, causing long term weight gain.

This doesn't touch on the problems a disrupted gut microbiome causes, known side-effects / intolerances / drug interactions that various products cause, or that some of them are carcinogens.

I just happen to still have my notes where I was evaluating players a while back and here's why I chose Podcast Addict over AntennaPod, with this written from the perspective of "why not AntennaPod"

* auto download should be configurable per podcast, ideally with number of episodes to retain

* auto skip intro, outro seconds should be configurable per podcast

* delete from Queue view doesn't remove it from the queue nor even mark it as played

* ui treatment makes currently playing overlap with the played marker on queue items

* bamboo menu for an episode should offer delete

* delete and remove from queue doesn't clear it from the now playing bar

* it should stop after episode if sleep timer is active <-- this one is a solid, 100% deal breaker for any app that doesn't support it
There's a difference between throttling with the network is at capacity, and throttling youtube at 480p because you offer a different service. Or just simply throttling video.

The very existence of Bing is the counter argument to your point.

Bing has a roughly 8% desktop market share. PC has a 70% market share.

That means about 11.5% of windows computer didn’t switch away from Bing.

Assume a similar share on apple devices. Apple has two billion active devices.

Assume that is 1.5 billion people, round down market share to 10%: 150 million of the richest customers on earth. What is that worth to google?

Not to mention another competitor could buy the spots for less. If google leaves an opening someone would try to compete. Even Apple might.

So there’s future downside risk along with the risk to present profits.

We disagree on the severity of the mistake, hiding information from adversaries is a core competency and a big part of training. Someone who failed to learn from that training has a low innate intelligence and even if trained is unable to use the training effectively and is a liability.

The CIA for example drills into their people this same information denial training but they appear to neglect randomness so you end up with a bunch of people with the same peculiar behavioral patterns so they’re ironically rather easy to detect if you have access to click stream data. For example, they’re told not to follow each other on social media, but they still interact so you end up with two people who freely follow lots of people who interact with each other frequently but don’t follow each other. It’s weird, I’m not saying everyone who does this is information hiding but you can extract networks of people who behave in this same weird way with each other.

In order to protect the enigma cracking secret the UK randomly allowed themselves to be bombed with a bias towards less strategic targets. That’s the kind of thing you have to do to hide information, letting yourself be bombed should denote just how serious it is.

Every time you stack on more crap to worry about, more parents will fail to do the right thing. That’s just how life is.

Policing electronics and internet access is a huge pain in the ass that wasn’t a concern at all, not that long ago, and more-recently was a ton easier than it is now. I don’t even control all the devices in my house, some belong to the kids’ schools that for some reason won’t stop giving them goddamn computers. I can solve these problems but it’s a big pain, and most parents realistically cannot. It doesn’t help that all parental controls are pretty bad, usually for no good reason.
There might be some open source tools that use https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shamir%27s_secret_sharing, which allows you to set a threshold for a number of people in a group with distinct keys that have to coordinate to unlock them. eg 5 shares and 3 of 5 have to combine their keys to unlock.
The majority of game mathematicians work on video slot machines. These games have somewhat complex payout structures, seeing that they may have 40 or 50 "lines" (directions in which identical symbols trigger a payout), one or more "scattered symbol" prizes (payouts based on the appearance of a minimum number of special symbols, regardless of lining up), wild symbols, multiple progressive jackpots (individual and shared), one or more bonus games, free spins (often at an increased payout multiple, with the possibility of triggering jackpots), and possibly more gameplay features.

Incorporating all of these features into a single games with an acceptable "hold percentage" (theoretical percentage of wagers that result in casino profit) that is still fun to play that gives players a feel that they have a good chance of winning and generates repeat play, is a difficult task that every slot machine vendor is trying to achieve, and the mathematicians are tasked with balancing frequency of payouts with amount of payouts to keep players playing.

Right now Aristocrat Gaming is the most successful, they have the most titles (and the top spots) on industry-wide slot performance surveys.
docker-compose is slow and not quite parallel (because it's written in Python and uses requests internally). So your yearning for speed optimization is kind of misplaced. If you are using docker-compose, you probably don't care about speed anyways. And, the way I understand it's typically used is to create some slice of the system a developer is working on, so unless we are talking about many minutes difference, the speed gains are inconsequential. Also, because you are using it to deploy just the relevant part of the system, the setup won't be complicated -- it's counterproductive to do that in a completely local system and especially because you want to work with as few components as possible during such deployments.

So, how would I go about that in Shell? I don't see a problem. Can you point to a specific problem? All these settings in your example easily translate into docker commands.
Well, that seems like a very silly belief system to have.

That said I can’t imagine having a good faith discussion about it; there’s nobody to defend the idea, because obviously nobody believes that they have a blinkered, over-confident belief in anything. They just think the domain of problems that their method can address is larger than the domain you think it has, I guess.

I guess I can’t imagine the mindset that would “see how the sausage is made” in science, and think that method was going to solve the universe. Everyone is aware that we’re becoming increasingly over-focused on tiny little niches.
Yeah, it would have been good if the speaker had done that. However:

> He identified Hunka as a "war hero" who fought for the First Ukrainian Division

The speaker evidently did not think to so much as Google "First Ukrainian Division" (which would have made the nature of the situation clear) so it's... optimistic to assume that he'd think to check with an expert.

> "Mr Speaker, I hear you're putting together a set of speakers for Mr Zelensky's visit, it would be great if you would share that set with me, as I have a special focus on this area"

This probably wasn't even realistically on her radar; she's the _Minister for Finance_, which is, like, an actual job which requires a lot of work. Organising events like this is for backbenchers, and, apparently, speakers. Like, if she'd been chatting to the speaker at the coffee machine and he'd mentioned who he was inviting, I assume she'd have gone "wait, you're inviting a member of _what_?!", but it's not clear how you expect her to even have known about it otherwise.

If your personal search engine supports the same url schema as Google/Bing/DDG, I see no reason why not:

https://www.google.com/search?q=user+query+here

It's all generic enough to standardize, Apple could easily support a custom URL option like so.

Most printer-paper you can buy in a shop is acid-free. I still have high-school printouts from 20 years ago that show no signs of degradation. I don't think any of my own digital assets have survived from 2003 — granted I was a teenager at the time, so I did not engage in the greatest archival practices. But see the comment above: all you need to preserve paper is to make sure it doesn't get damaged, and simply eyeballing it will confirm whether or not it has.

The activation records don't have to be stored in one piece: it's entirely possible to have a call stack that stores only return addresses and a data stack that stores frames of local variables (that's how you'd normally program e.g. on 6502). Which is a scenario that x64 arguably supports too, having separate RSP and RBP registers, with RBP-addressing being nice and easy and RSP-relative addressing encoded very cumbersomely.

>Our medical system where we rely on individual doctors for primary care is really flawed but it's better than any alternatives that we have (or that we can afford anyway)

The US one I presume? Says who? Based on what metric? We can, and other countries have, do much better.

That this parent "is “exhausted” by years spent campaigning to get doctors to take the illnesses seriously" doesn't say much.

It's not like she had to go the public health system and didn't have the option to go on "individual doctors for primary care" if she could afford it (in fact it would have been way more affordable than in the US).

She campaigned to spread awareness for the cause, not for them to treat her own special case.

Second, the average person would be much more exhausted when chacing their own (or kid's) treatment trying to afford hellishly expensive treatment in the US, sacrificing their kids college fund or their own pension (or even ending in bankruptcy (CNBC: "Two-thirds of people who file for bankruptcy say medical bills or other issues related to illness contributed to their financial downfall").
Those developers will then need to pivot in response to market changes. But yes, that's often how it goes.

The article title is certainly provocative, yes, and that’s the problem. Do you want clickbait titles? The article’s title is a combination of a platitude, an inaccurate and/or irrelevant statement, and an implied inflammatory accusation. Swapping the title for the more accurate more informational less provocative first line is much better for me, but maybe true that not flinging around the word “lies” could result in fewer clicks.

It'll also bundle in Netflix's basic level and give you 6 months of Apple+ for "free".
