To add to your "who's going to be doing that independent reproduction?" point, the whole purpose of the journals is to communicate to the rest of the scientific community that there's an interesting result here that might want further examination. Sure, in the absence of the ability to disseminate your findings via the usual channel, you might be able to instruct your grad students to reproduce or beg one of your regular collaborators to reproduce, but then the independence of the experiments is dubious. And otherwise, academics aren't exactly searching for unpublished papers to replicate so the original can be published.
Usually this meant the new neighborhood was put behind a subscriber loop carrier (SLC) which added an extra analog/digital conversion. Voice calls were getting digitized locally, sent across a T1 (only 4 wires needed, instead of 96-192), and back to analog to the normal frame at the CO. The effect of this was the telltale sign of carrier speeds only hitting 26,400 bps.
No mention of dual speed models like Diamond, which would use two 56k lines simultaneously?
> Now, that was just a rehash, which you didn't need me for. What I want to add on is--everybody remain civil, this is a serious intellectual question--we know what transgender people feel like they aren't, but do they know what it feels like to be what they believe they are? Of course it feels like "you" (or "me", depending the voice I'm supposed to be writing) but comparatively, how would anybody know what else it feels like?

They don't. How could they? At most, they know what it's like to have lived life as one sex, then take hormones, have surgeries done on themselves, and "pass" as the other sex. If they started passing when they were 25, then they kind of know what it's like to be a 25 year old of the other sex, assuming that their mind and behaviors also match the other sex, and they've abandoned all contact with people who knew them prior to transition. And they still don't know what it's like to have the body of someone who was actually born as the sex to which they've transitioned.

But most don't get that far. Most MtFs instead only know what it's like to be treated as a femininely dressed guy with breasts whom the more progressive-minded people take pity on and call "she" sometimes. The non passing FtMs only know what it's like to be treated as a woman with a beard and a deeper voice. It's tragic.

I think no one knows what healthy food really is because basically anything can be labeled as "healthy" or "natural" but most of it is highly processed. "Organics" which has the emotional connection of being "healthier" is always more expensive, but you can find that same organic food at a farmers market for a much less price.

I don't think it's possible to really eat healthy anymore, unless you are growing it, or slaughtering it yourself, or you have some closer understanding/connection to its source, such as a local farm & butcher, farmers market, etc.

Imo completely valid for the SEC to file lawsuits for a broad spectrum. All of this crypto stuff is a point where both "knowns" and "unknowns" regarding law interpretations/rules meet.

So essentially them losing sometimes makes it clearer what is allowed, whether the SEC is actually responsible or not.

Twin bonded ISDN lines were my only option for anything faster than 33.6k. “You too could have had 128k for the low monthly price of $250 + cost of two phone lines + cost of equipment + labor”. When I finally moved to somewhere that had cable (and cable internet at 1.5mbps) I vowed never to return to the sticks.

Then Elon came along… Starlink is probably one of the most useful inventions next to the lightbulb, DC current, Solar Cells, Toilets, desalination/ro and the WWW. I’ve gotten 100mb+ out in places where you have no cell service, no humans, no life, and no way of contacting anyone if in trouble. Starlink kept the connection no problem.

I’m excited for the future if we can just get over our differences. XR, Starlink, EV’s, Highspeed rail, Electric planes, Mars…
You are absolutely right and I was talking out of my rear end. I know you are right because setting the path in the ELF is a major step in building the Ardour macOS packages.

Yes, I have this vibe about many library authors in the Python/Ruby/Javascript ecosystem at this point. I don't want to be part of that, nor as a user, nor as a coder.
The single issue is that real world has borders in the form of nation-state borders and barriers (regulations) to the money transfer between entities. Crypto does not, and this leads to a conflict.

I am personally all in for a no-borders real world as long as there are no states which don’t believe in my ideology. But such a thing is utopia and doesn’t exist yet.
56k was not relevant for point to point communicating between arbitrary points on the network though. 56kbps dial-up worked in an asymmetric fashion with a fully digitally connected modem on one end (eg the ISP). Station to station analog modem standards capped out at 33.6k.

> DSL isn't really fundamentally different from a 56k

There's a great deal of additional integrated digital signal processing to make DSL work that was too costly for consumer modems at the time. I wouldn't agree with this assessment.
And other than operating on phone lines for last mile it is completely different on all the layers and uses completely different equipment.

> 56k hit a wall because circuit switching has fundamental disadvantages. Packet switching allowed us to get past that.

There were circuit switched networks far faster than 56k, so not sure this had much to do with any inherent limitation.

Packet switching has obvious advantages for network utilization and was a necessary evolution but I don't think it is relevant to any 56k limit or the revolution in DSP that make multi-megabit over copper pairs possible.
I think there are some strong arguments against this. The first is numerical. Fields like social psychology are seeing replication rates as low as the twenties. And not just from low hanging fruit from but from journals like "The Journal of Personality and Social Psychology", which has one of the highest impact factors across all psychology journals, and a 23% replication success rate! [1] This [2] is a Google search for site:nytimes.com "Journal of Personality and Social Psychology". It's interesting seeing how many [shocking discovery]s, many which end up being shared on this site, come from this particular journal.

Furthermore, I think you can often see poorly done science in the papers themselves. They will use suggestive wording in surveys, unreliable sources for sampling such as Amazon Mechanical Turk, and maybe one of the biggest tells is measuring a large number of unnecessary variables. That does very little to further your experiment, but absolutely ensures you can p-hack your way to a statistically significant result. Another is ignoring such patently obvious viable confounding issues, that one can't reasonably appeal to Hanlon's razor.

> A problem is that a user can't revoke a JWT by logging out or changing their password (unless you build extra infra to store the invalidations and fail closed)

Applications should both invalidate JWTs on logout and validate JWTs haven't been revoked for every request. Yes, it's performance overhead and increases infrastructure demands.

The problem is that people want JWTs to be both secure and fast. But the reality is they can only have one of these qualities at a time. They can sacrifice a bit of speed and get security, or sacrifice a bit of security for speed.
Yeah on one hand, a lot of successful & high quality software projects are the result of one very dedicated brain, so maybe it's a valid tradeoff to have an arrogant dictator.

On the other hand, that does not feel so nice as a contribution environment, it creates a software design bottleneck on one person, increasing shipping time and creating a dangerous bus factor. It's not a really scalable way do software design. Overall that attitude is pretty detrimental to community as he basically complains about all previous contributors.

Maybe I'd suggest him to:

- Work on his attitude, respect other contributors & stop calling them names.

- Spend less time developing and more time educating other people who work on the project.

- Come up with a set of design principles that the rest of the project can follow.

But yeah that's open source, he's free to fork a project. Probably his project will be successful anyway despite the negativity.

Great point about tumor dna. It does change and the “usual” treatments become less effective. That’s when the experimental drugs are usually brought in to the treatment plan.

> It is usually one lever per hydraulic cylinder.

Not so much these days, but the general idea is correct.

Usually there are joysticks (one per hand) that provide control over one movement per axis. So for example the right hand joystick on a mini-excavator usually controls bucket curl (left/right) and boom movement (forward/back).
Left hand does boom up/down and rotate left/right. There's an ISO standard for this UI.
Old school tractor-loader-backhoe machines (what people in the US call "a backhoe") had one lever per cylinder, so more complicated to control and more
levers. An old-style motor grader is the extreme example of lever confusion[1].

Operation of heavy machines relies (still) on the brain's capability to virtualize the movement of the machine in terms of the body's limbs. That's why
you need some time training to become proficient. After a few hours you just think "I want the bucket over there" and your hands make the necessary movements
without thinking.

There's already lots of automation available on high-end machines such as use of GPS to control cut/fill operations with bulldozers, and laser-transit-based automated dig depth control for excavators.

I’m going to react just to the first part of the article since the rest isn’t really of interest to me.

If you’re experiencing the kind of burnout that the author described, I’d suggest an alternative to doubling down and “reclaiming” your hobby: make your interests evolve. It could very well be your body (specifically your brain) telling you that you’re stagnating. It doesn’t have to be different getting programming, but perhaps you’ve reached a point that it is time to go deeper, possibly into CS theory.
I see. Good luck.

> Not everybody in the EU, even though in my country (France) we do. However, how is this related at all to the discussion at hand? They are not even related to software copyrights at all! (For which there is already an exception for personal copies, and for which official we pay nothing).

That's exactly where this exception is coming from. You can't make personal copies nowaydays without breaking some kind of DRM and that's why there's an interoperability exception.

France is indeed one of the worst in this racket but most of the EU has similar implementations.

> This world where software copyright does not exist is not an utopia of free source code, it's a wild wild west of obfuscated and/or inaccessible software and the company with largest pockets has the monopoly since it can do whatever it wants.

Well that's exactly where we at now, I'm writing this comment from a phone which has thousands of piles of obfuscated inaccessible and non modifiable software. Copyright is what led us there.
> Reproducibility in some fields are difficult/impossible for a lot of reasons (funding, candidates, etc)

It's not impossible if we're actually interested in the truth.

> Suppressing publishing at the same time as actively trashing the ability to even study seems like a recipe for disaster way above publishing bad papers to me.

It's not clear that a study that cannot be replicated is worth the paper its printed on in the current environment where replication rates are 50% or less across the board. Other strategies that change how we approach individual studies are not as onerous (preregistration, open data), so maybe in that world individual studies would be worth it, but even in that world replication is the only sure fire way to validate results.
I thought so too until I looked at the code. It's truly horrible and not in a "clean code absolutist" way, but more in a "digging a giant hole that will make the entire thing untouchable". And going by the stats he provides that's exactly what's going on.

FWIW, this article is originally written in french. And while the French version is definitely still abrasive, it sounds more normal. The writing style does not map to English as well for sure.
I'm currently running lineageos with microg on a recent model phone, and google wallet is the only thing I've encountered that has given me any grief. Games, streaming apps, banking apps all work just fine. No hoops to jump through or anything.

Also, you might be able to toggle the GC off, and invoke manually with runtime.GC() at opportune moments.

This assumes facts not in evidence. Defect reporting can be ridiculously valuable, especially in situations where your product is delivered over the internet. For example, a user reports a "can't reset password" bug. It turns out to be a hack where the auth address is being redirected to a server that is collecting credentials.

French fries, donuts, and other deep fried or packaged and highly processed foods are often called “carbs” but most of the calories are from high PUFA seed oils, not carbs.

I do think high PUFA seed oils are often an issue there… they cause damage to the liver, and mitochondria, such that people feel worse, and have less energy- which in turn promotes both inactivity, and overeating. There is lots of good data on various species of lab animals getting NAFLD and metabolic diseases when swapping out MUFA and SFA for PUFA.

Hmm... I'm not sure that follows. The ACE-inhibitor drugs like lisinopril (and several others ending in -pril) are front-line drugs for treating high blood pressure. I take lisinopril myself, as do other friends and family members.

The ACE-inhibitors are modifications of a substance found in the venom of Bothrops jararaca, a South American pit viper. Scientists observed that when a prey animal is bitten by one of these snakes it experiences a sudden and profound drop in blood pressure (ideally to zero, from the snake's point of view).

You could argue that allowing yourself to be bitten by one of these snakes would somehow be more "natural" than taking a pill, but myself, I'm going to stick with the pill. :-)
