> NAT is a more desirable form of security than a firewall for most users...

I don't agree with this. First, most users don't know or care about security. So neither is more desirable for them. But also, on its merits NAT isn't more desirable. It provides zero security that is not provided by a simple default deny inbound rule on a firewall. And on top of that, it introduces additional complexity that even a non-technical user has to contend with sometimes (port forwarding).

NAT is not and never has been a security mechanism. We need to stop trying to shoehorn it in to a role it isn't meant for.

SPF 200. Also the heat will dissipate over distance. At a rock concert where the ambient temperature is 32c due to being packed with humans, the heat can’t dissipate at well and so you get 60c on stage. Melt cables. Input jacks. Doc Martin soles.

You’ll often see those giant fans blowing all over the stage. It’s not just for big hair stances, it’s to keep humans alive.

On sets, less humans, more space, so the lights heat will dissipate pretty well after 5-10 feet. However I suspect that a simulator that is simulating the sun using a physical lamp would be using higher power lights to mimic the suns bloom. Even keeping it within operating normals it will get hot.

Most of the time I am meeting friends to hang-out and we will spontaneously find somewhere to eat. I really enjoy that.

Occasionally I am hanging out with friends from out-of-town, or friends with kids who don't get out as often. Then it's convenient to have somewhere booked so we don't end up having to eat at a not-so-great place and 'spoil' their visit, or their one evening seeing friends that month.

Sometimes I want to hang out with a big group. Try finding a place which can spontaneously accommodate twelve people.

> FDR was a racist that put Japanese Americans in camps

I wouldn’t go so far to say that FDR was racist for doing this. America was literally bombed and dragged into a war, and other countries were also placing civilians in internment camps. From Wikipedia:

>> Japan interned 130,000 Dutch, British, and American civilians in Asia during World War II.

Does this mean the Japanese were racist? No. This was world war, and countries were doing this as a source of leverage.

I don’t know about the rest of your examples, but I feel like you may be being a bit uncharitable in your characterization of these circumstances.

Enables, but does not guarantee.

The PPC ISA is simple, but the POWER chips themsleves were never designed for power efficiency.

Likewise the ARM ISA is now associated with power efficiency, but there's nothing in the ISA itself that mandates power efficiency.

In fact, I'll bet a clever chip designer could design an x86 (or x86_64) chip that was low power. That would be a killer exercise. I want to say some of the third party licensees tried to do that with their x86 SoCs a long time ago. They failed for different reasons.

From what I've read, it's a vaguely U shaped curve. The poor and the very rich have more babies than the middle class. That jives with my experience. Surgeon friends of my wife are both more likely to have 4+ kids and to have 0 kids than middle and upper-middle class friends who almost invariably stop at 2 unless the second baby turns out to be twins.

The uptick in the rich is very small and insignificant but it is interesting. It's not enough to have any real impact on the birth rate, but it does provide evidence that people will have more kids if financial circumstances are favorable.

I must be misunderstanding...

If you are in the situation

B -- X1 -- X2 -- X3 -- Head
\
Y1 -- Y2 -- Cherry

then Y2 can't be a merge-base for the difference between Head and Cherry, the merge-base is B, that's a graph property and not an input. (You can even calculate it with `git merge-base`.) Right?

And saying that "Y2 and Cherry are the patch" doesn't help my brain much.

Now just thinking out loud I think there's something there... I know from Darcs that basically there is a mathematically precise thing to do here with two merges, so basically since "merge" is just "inverse, apply_patch, commute, drop_commit" and "cherry_pick" is just "commute, drop_commit, merge", you have a first merge being of the tree,

B -- Y1 -- Y2 -- inv(Y2) -- inv(Y1) -- M
\ /
Cherry ----------------/

and then we squash and discard Y1 and Y2's metadata,

B -- Cherry'

patch := diff(M, B)
Cherry' := commit(patch, [B], Cherry.metadata)

and then we have something suitable to merge directly. It doesn't sound like Git does that though?
This is what I've always heard, but I've also heard that the financial precarity of young people in the west is leading them to have fewer children. Which seems mildly contradictory.
I slightly disagree. I think a business can have an AI focus rather than it being mere improvement over an already viable business if, without AI, the business model can't succeed due to excessive costs of scaling to serve enough users to have sufficient revenue. There are some cases like that where adding AI makes that previously non-viable business model viable again.
Wouldn't it just use the credential from client to directly connect to the service instead of going client->msft->server?

You need a token to authenticate, but the client software (Microsoft here) doesn't ever need to send that data to themselves to successfully auth.

Sending themselves the auth credentials does allow them to then use it on their servers in ways that your client device may not want to (e.g., excessive battery drain) or can do (loss of network). But it then also allows them full access anytime they want and complete control of your data for whatever they want.
The solution is still what I said above: spend money and change policies. Birth rates can be changed given the political and economic will to do so. If things really become bad, people will demand it.
The problem isn't primarily the cost of babies, it's primarily creeping credentialism.

Women are fertile from 18 to 40 (legally and safely). If the years to 28 are taken up with getting credentials (degrees and post-grad quals) and then from 28 to 34 or so establishing a career and forming a household, the're isn't much time left to have babies. And the thirties are much lower fertility than the teens and twenties biologically speaking.

Credentialism and housing costs. Not direct childcare costs.

Housing is a zero-sum Red Queen race. Increase someone's income, they'll want to live in a "better" neighborhood so the time taken to form a household is the same or longer.

TLDR: the problem is not lack of money but lack of time.

> Jurassic Park wasn't a "don't clone dinosaurs" movie, it was a "don't be an idiot" movie with a dinosaur theme.

This is why we have people building torment nexuses and genuinely thinking they're doing nothing wrong.

Jurassic Park was a "don't clone dinosaurs" movie. They were very clear and explicit about it. The characters had multiple conversations about it. It was the central plot. The moral of the movie was "nature is indifferent to the hubris of man". Not that hubris is the downfall of man, but that the universe does not care about you, your intentions, or your actions. If you clone dinosaurs, they will escape at some point and they will kill and torment people.

Did you watch the movie? Did you miss the entire "life finds a way" scene?

You're taking "this is a torment nexus, please don't build it" and reading it as "torment nexus is fine, it's dumb men who are the problem"

You are the problem.

I feel like this would drive me nuts when dealing with code, CSVs, or other kinds of data I'd commonly be viewing with a mono font. Two adjacent rows nearly identical rows might look more different than they really are, say because an "im" changed to an "wm" and the "m" is moving around.

That's not to say it's bad at all, just that I think it wouldn't be right for how I'd mostly likely be using such a font.

The convolution of a box filter with a box filter is a tent filter. So yes, a tent filter blur can be done with two box filter blurs.

And repeated box filters asymptotically approach a Gaussian filter, though in practice it converges very quickly. A single box filter can be thought of as a piece-wise constant approximation of a Gaussian filter. Two passes of box filters produce a piece-wise linear approximation (the tent). And three passes of box filters produce a piece-wise quadratic approximation. Four passes for a cubic approximation, etc. Usually, just the three box filters are used since they are close enough.

I'd need to look at the math in detail here, but I suspect that it's ultimately just cleverly interleaving the running sums for the two box filter to perform them in a single pass.

If so, it might be an interesting challenge to see if the idea can be extended to compute the higher quality three box filter approximation in a single pass.
that was made by one of the original Dungeon Keeper devs btw
It's to distinguish this behavior from password managers. Here, the message is sent to Microsoft in an encrypted form, but Microsoft can decrypt it to access the underlying password. For password managers, the remote server receives a password in an encrypted form, and cannot decrypt it to access the underlying password.

It could have been phrased better, but the clear message is that Microsoft has pilfered access to unencrypted passwords, regardless of any transportation-level encryption.
Marimo: Next-Generation Python Notebook
Well I was just commenting on the technical side of things. I would assume that the people who advocate / invented Bitcoin believe that the monetary system with those regulations is corrupt/repressive/broken. The point of Bitcoin is a technical workaround of these issues they see. If those issues didn't exist there would be no reason for Bitcoin to exist.

The point isn't to fix the system, its to figure out a way around the system. To make the regulation of Bitcoin/etc. a technical impossibility. So even if you don't have a right to private digital transactions it doesn't matter. Right now, you don't need a bank to transfer bitcoin to/from dollars, there exist already countless ways around it.

Thats all to say if you believe in unregulated capitalism and not that there are very good reasons for a lot of the regulations, and even the parts that are corrupt or broken should not lead you to advocate for no regulations at all, which would effectively end up in a Mad Max dystopia.

That was the '60s, and the amount of risk accepted and stability of funding were completely different worlds. The entirety of first flight (Apollo 4) to first landing (11) was 20 months.
