I think the time constant might be larger than the lifetime of any of the dating apps so far.

Unless the "undateable" person gives up and accepts staying single forever, they may stay on the platform for a decade or more. Maybe with decreasing activity/time investment, but still an active user eligible for matching. That's longer than I'd expect a dating platform (or any random software startup in general) to thrive.
Wars are not a matter of physical strength, being biologically weaker wouldn't prevent a woman from, say, operating a drone.
They did, tens of thousands of them.[0] There were analogous movements among the other peoples chafing under Austro-Hungarian rule. But these were minority peoples up against a whole empire, and they wouldn’t have won the day if the war hadn’t brought in enough other powers to completely defeat Austro-Hungary.

In this case though there'd be nothing to learn, since math couldn't explain this phenomena.
What your government could do? Perhaps stop the occupation and killings of Palestinians. I think you would find that the innocent people being killed by your bombs don't really want to fight, they just want to live their life in peace. I can't fathom how you can justify bombing thousands of children just because some operation is carried out from somewhere in the city. I mean, what is it now, 3000 children in a matter of days being killed by Israel? But sure, killing them is probably "defending you"..
Yes, it is not that people can't afford these services (although some probably are in that boat) it is that people don't see the value in these services any more. The price has gone up and the quality has gone down. The content is not as good and the UI is increasingly user hostile.

No wonder people are going back to piracy, it's just better in every way.
> I dont understand how they can achieve this. They have given themselves an extreme short timeline.

I don’t think the state is under any obligation to conscript everyone they possibly can. Towards the end of mandatory military service in Sweden the armed forces simply became very selective. In the last few years it was enough to just say you didn’t feel like it and they wouldn’t conscript you. I would expect the same to happen now in Latvia, but in reverse.
I am just guessing but what you are describing sounds like you had the unfortunate luck of getting a DHCP or CG-NAT address that was being used by an aggressive and highly abusive bot. It may be worth looking into if you can release that IP and get a new one while also clearing out all forms of caches on all devices.
I’m assuming they probably didn’t demolish everything when mandatory service ended in 2006, they maintained an active (though smaller) professional force and have been hosting NATO rotations, so there’s likely additional capacity to host conscripts.
>This is getting more expensive than the old cable and satellite packages that streaming was supposed to replace, and they're putting prices up at the moment.

Definitely not in the US. People were paying minimum $100 per month for a fraction of the content, not inflation adjusted, not on demand, not on nearly any device anywhere, 15 years ago.

Not to mention you can simply cancel and resubscribe so you only pay for one or two services per month, an option that was never available before.

Apple: $10
Netflix: $23
Amazon: $9
WarnerBros Discovery: $20
Disney: $20
Comcast: $12
Paramount: $12

The only one missing is Sony, but I don’t think they offer streaming. $106/month gets an individual on demand access to almost everything except sports, without advertising breaks. Family sharing would make it much cheaper. Either way, I would take this situation over having to pay Comcast/DirecTV/Dish Network/Verizon to be a middleman any day.
They were indeed experts but that wasn't a sufficient reason for it to be such a smooth experience
Burning would produce just water only when done in pure oxygen.

Normally burning is done in air, which has more nitrogen than oxygen.

At the high temperature of the flame, a small part of the nitrogen also burns, producing nitrogen oxides, besides the hydrogen oxide, a.k.a. water.

‘Quant at Two Sigma Made Unauthorized Changes, Caused $620M in Gains and Losses’

Copy: https://archive.ph/BixFB

“Wu’s changes led to gains of $450 million in total for some Two Sigma funds—including those in which the firm’s own executives and employees invest, as well as those available to clients. But they also led to a total of $170 million in losses for other funds compared with how they otherwise would have fared—losses largely borne by clients. Two Sigma has made them whole.”

$450-$170 is not $620

Allegedly SEC is investigating and allegedly these trades might have been unauthorized and self-dealing, but the title here is misleading. The final outcome seems like a large net gain not a $620m loss like the title implies.

The real question is was this company trying to steal from its clients for the benefit of interested individuals? It’s not an issue about one rogue trader.
It also showed how weak the supposed second military of the world is.
I guess it's good for small businesses trying to distinguish themselves. But it seems like giving a shit doesn't really scale.

It seems like at some point in growth all companies attract a critical number who don't really care. Maybe it's just hard for people to care when the numbers are big. Maybe that caring is hard to maintain as things get more institutionalized
I don't remember, some of them needed some other tools installed(like flakes whatever it is), I looked for configs, that looked like they don't need a few more hours to learn and to setup some other tools for them to work.

I just wanted to take a quick look at hyprland, I imagined I just use an existing config, I never thought it would need hours of research. Later I installed an arch vm and managed to install hyprland with some basic components in less than an hour from the first guide I found.

Looks like I misunderstood, what nix was made for. I just want a system I can more or less set up with a simple config file.

I saw this os, didn't have time to try it yet, but I thought this is how nix works. https://blendos.co/

For example you just define gnome like this, the nix configs I found looked similar, they just didn't work.

> middle-click-action: 'minimize'

> right-click-action: 'menu'
That is an interesting document. In particular, the focus seems to be on preventing Latvia from being suddenly and completely invaded as happened in all three Baltic states last time. This includes gear and forces dedicated to detecting enemy operations, relatively high tech gear and systems like anti air missile defenses, and also the capability to keep the government functioning such as fortification and relocation.

One take away from all of this is that many of the actions being proposed for defense appear to be just as suitable for female service members as males. Operating detectors and signal scanners, staffing drones and anti air missile batteries, and keeping the government functional are all tasks that require awareness and training but not necessarily physical strength or robustness.
Sure, all Europeans asked to be invaded after all! I'm pretty confident it could be a continent of crazy sadistics who wants to die and live in slavery ...

IMHO you should elaborate, sentences like this are easily misunderstood
This. C++ is awful in many ways, but it can be much nicer than C for writing _application_ code. Use RAII, avoid deep class hierarchies, restrict yourself to the STL and use smart pointer types for lifecycle management. That’s it for starters, you will write much better code than in C.

Then you opt in to certain features like templates or operator overloading based on your bike shedding level.

Not negating the sentiment that giving a shit helps, but table making is an old business and most of the challenges have been encountered over the centuries. So result and cost comes down to having an experienced craftsman. And I assume that someone making a living from it for let's say the 10,000 hours can make a table any way you want and be pretty accurate in estimating effort and material expense.

Giving a shit makes for a more happy customer, but cutting a board oval shaped is what they do in a workshop for breakfast.
Normal dogs can be banned for bad behavior. Some places have limits on size and weight. How this plays out and what rules are in place vary by location but they can be taken by the authorities and potentially put down and the owner fined by the authorities and then sued by the victims. Even without bad behavior dogs are not permitted in some locations. The owner assumes culpability for the dogs actions.

If a robot dog is exhibiting this behavior I would expect similar results that may extend beyond the owner or operator and to the vendor and or whomever programmed the dog. This concept already exists if one thinks about it. I have a drone. My drone could have a bug that causes me to lose control or someone could take over control. It could fly to the airport and get in front of a plane that is taking off or landing. I would get in trouble with the FAA and the NTSB would try to determine what happened. I would then have to sue the drone manufacturer for damages and the authorities may do the same. The drone or all drones may be force recalled or banned or grounded if this became a regular occurrence.

A Workload-Aware and Query-Sensitive Framework for Disk-Based Spatial Indexing
What a terrible logo design, and semingly no real buy-in from any major organization. I'm not surprised this doesn't have any traction.

I think an IPv6-compliance logo scheme would be a good idea, but it should be driven by major commercial vendors like Apple, Microsoft, Google etc on the software side, and supported by industry forums like the WiFi Alliance and the GSM Association on the hardware side. I would love to be able to ditch IPv4 entirely for running large production networks.

I think Apple have already started to enforce IPv6 support on iOS apps. It would also be interesting to audit open source projects for IPv6 support; just the presence of the appropriate API calls would probably be sufficient for a first hack to tell the difference between IPv6-compliant and non-IPv6 compliant applications. This would allow influential distros like Debian to start the process of deprecating old software which is incapable of working properly with modern networks.
“it depends on X and Y” and “here are things you should care about” is the most annoying thing ever IF you actually need to make a decision and IF the service provider doesn’t give you a path forward. It’s fine if you’re just gathering information, but not when there is a business impact to delaying.

This goes for people in a consulting capacity in internal roles, too. There are way too many “SMEs” who will show up to your meetings, tell you it’s “complicated”, and then leave, thinking they’ve made a contribution. If you raise issues but don’t help your customer navigate this complexity, you are adding negative value.
Super wide instruction decode won't help you much unless you're able to feed and retire those instructions at a consistent pace. This means being able to keep you ALU busy and for that to happen, there's plenty of problems one has to solve but two major bottlenecks in CPU design are (1) branch-prediction in the CPU frontend and (2) hiding the memory latency in the CPU backend. Both of those are tightly coupled to the instruction- and data-cache design.

Coincidentally, both of those caches in Apple M design are unusually large - 192KB for instruction cache size and 128KB L1 data cache size - per core (!). The same goes for L2 cache size - 3MB per (performance) core.

When compared to bleeding edge _server_ CPUs from AMD and Intel, it's crazy to see that those figures are by several _magnitudes_ larger in the Apple M design. E.g. Zen3 Epyc - 32KB of instruction cache size, 32KB of L1 data cache size and 512KB L2. Intel Xeon Gold - 32KB of instruction cache size, 64KB of L1 data cache size and 1.25MB of L2.
How to communicate efficiently as software engineers
I always carry a two dollar bill and fifty-cent piece, for when (e.g.) an entry-level store-clerk does something which most-other-clerks wouldn't resolve, I can say to them "Thank you for giving. a . shit."

> colonoscopy every day --> obviously, all cancers would be picked up

Would be the first medical test with 100% sensitivity probably?
I find the prep really hard to take. It doesn't taste nice, and it involves drinking much more fluid than I'm used to. I had a sigmoidoscopy about 20 years ago; instead of laxatives, they gave me an enema, whose effects I found surprisingly swift and violent. An enema won't work for a colonoscopy, because it only cleans out the sigmoid colon.

The colonoscopy is also extremely unpleasant; not exactly painful, but it made me groan repeatedly. The procedure lasts about an hour. I wasn't allowed sedatives, because I drink a lot; and no gas either, because something something, like I was going home under my own steam.

I've had three colonoscopies in the last five years, two last year (the second was to check up on the sites of the plaque removals from the first. They're threatening to send me for another check in January. I'm not yet sure if I will comply - I'm feeling overtreated.

I was sent for these procedures as a result of the self-administered fecal blood test, that everyone over (I think) 60 gets on the NHS. These were not screening tests.

> Might be the skill of the surgeon

My procedures were performed by a specialist colonoscopist, supported by a roomful of nurses and technicians (about 5 of them, I think). Plaque removal might be termed "surgery", but it's quite a long way from the scalpels-and-forceps type. The machine is very cool, and probably very expensive; in addition to the camera, it carries a wire loop for removing plaques, and another device for tattooing the sites of removed plaques. And they track the location of the tube with a continuous X-ray. But I guess most of the cost is the staff.
> Why do we let any random application open its own files and folders at will? The actual selection and opening of files and other resources should be the job of the operating system

This is how macOS works these days with sandboxing. Unless you manually go into system settings to grant "full disk access", apps only get access to files the user has manually selected (through the system open dialog, drag and drop, double-clicking, etc)

People continually decry this as "iOSification of the Mac", "the end of general purpose computing" and "too many damn permissions dialogs what is this Windows Vista or something"

In air: hot nitrogen (~80% of air) + oxygen present -> some nitrogen will react even though it's not the fuel input.

Not much different from burning other stuffs in air, really (gasoline / diesel included). Of course the burn conditions have a big effect. And cleanup after the burn (catalysts) is possible.

But imho the more sensible thing would be to input the H2 into a fuel cell.

> NATO isn't forcing countries under their umbrella, countries apply to join NATO instead.

Exactly. The whole Russian narrative is based on the idea that the sovereign states in its vicinity shouldn’t really be sovereign when it comes to military or economic alliances (e.g. EU). A lot of people in the west are doing a great disservice to a rule based world order by entertaining that narrative as rational and respectable.
IDK, I navigated paint.net downloads perfectly fine over the years, and still do. But sure, I can't expect my parents or most people in general to have a sense for what is or isn't legit on the Internet.

Still, if a major problem is ads directing to malware-infested downloads, how about before we start requiring OSS projects to become legal entities, we apply the same idea to advertisers? Why not introduce "ad signing", or better yet, some regulatory scheme, where you cannot provide an ad, and you cannot display an ad, unless you're a recognized legal entity with a certificate chain to back it? That would address a part of this problem at the very source (and address so, so, so many other problems too).

But I get it. We have to disempower the innovators and make it hard for honest people, because the whole computing industry makes almost all its money from scoundrels fucking the society over, and while we can't admit to it out loud, we can talk up the threat of overt bad actors, so that no one pays attention to more covert bad actors running the show.
That may be the case in practice but it is not literally true, since semantically, inheritance is effectively a form of copy-and-paste in the compiler. It is literally about reusing components written elsewhere. I would argue that both are forms of code reuse, with the latter also having consequences for type checking.
