Not denying what you're saying, but the abstract actually says "There is a well-established negative gradient between economic status and crime".

Just for argument's sake, one could propose that since lottery wealth is sudden and quite large, it has different effects than what is almost always a gradual rise in economic status. Or one could argue that un-earned (randomly awarded) wealth is different than earned wealth.
Not working. I'd pay more for a convenient tax system.
But does the use of the word pinhole make any sense if it is not a pinhole but a "3.7mm" lense?
Pinhole camera is a specific term used for more than a century now. It is well defined. Now someone from marketing thought "let's call our small camera a pinhole camera". Sry, but that is not a pinhole camera. That camera also exists since ages and is called an endoscope camera.

Words are important in IT and if everyone would just think a bit more about terms they use we would have way less friction with business and less business logic bugs.

CentOS Stream isn’t unstable in the way that something like Arch Linux or Debian Sid is.

They effectively only got rid of point releases. Instead of going from CentOS 7 to 7.1, you just regularly get updates. Since they’re a part of the same major release, they don’t contain breaking changes.

It’s no different from running Debian Stable with the -updates repository enabled.
There is a reason they are the most scrutinized.
It’s depends on the specific engine, but you essentially tear it down then replace or machine parts back to high quality.

For example, cylinders and walls may develop too much gap over the years. You can machine the walls out a bit then slide a sleeve in to get it back to original sizes. Lots of manual work, but cheaper than a new engine.

You might also replace a bunch of other components along the way. The key thing is the engine block is generally still sound, even if other parts have warm out a bit.
> NuScale laid off 40% of its over 500 employees on Friday January 5th

> NuScale’s CEO said last November it had about $200 million in cash reserves but some of the funds are allocated to specific work for customers and can’t be used generally to revitalize the firm.

300 employees, plus unknown amounts of pre-allocated work, no chance of revenue before the runway runs out, and a terrible environment for high-risk capital, make this look extremely grim.
I really like this thread. Thanks to those for sharing their own processes and tricks. It's fascinating the ways people trick themselves into will power. Cool stuff, potentially life changing.

I wrote and deleted mine a few times. Will power is weird and I've found weird ways of enabling some in myself. And then some I can't explain. I've been destroying my fingers for literally 30 years and about a month ago I decided I wanted healthy fingers. If you know, you know, that sounds absurd. And yet, my fingers look better than they have in literally 22 years. I don't get it, I actually have imposter syndrome. I've never, ever made it even 1/5th this far. It's something I'm embarrassed of and also secretly proud of myself.

Would this door incident be specific to the 737 Max, or just general Boeing shoddiness?

I thought the main big difference about the Max was the engines, and the ensuing software fixes to aerodynamics. But would the doors be very different to other modern 737s?

Im wondering if focusing on the Max is a red herring and this is potentially indicative of issues with many more 737s. #armchair-aviation-geek
We started a separate BSD userland project before Chimera even existed, but we didn't feel the port was up to our standards of quality, so we shelved it. Removing our dependence on GNU software is a definite goal of mine, though it is relatively low priority and likely far off.

Scudo can be faster in some workloads. However, I recall Scudo is woefully underperforming on 32-bit systems (it may not even work?). Replacing the memory allocator is definitely something you can do, but it introduces another variable into the mix, and I personally feel that would also compromise our goal of reliability.

Differences between Alpine also include: NLS enabled everywhere, so translations work and are functional. No use of GNU gettext, only musl's gettext. A focus on providing a more "full" experience to users over optimising for smaller binary sizes. There are more differences obviously. For some uses Alpine would be better, and for some uses Adélie would be better.

Also: that comparison page is on the oldwww. domain, which means it isn't a part of the current site, which is why it hasn't been updated.
In years/decades past figuring out cost basis through options and acquisitions could be a real nightmare. To be honest there have been times when I’ve thrown my hands up and just come up with a plausible average.

But as I wrote, I think things are mostly pretty good these days. But who knows with things like RSUs you have limited visibility into.
The trains exist, but they are not as useful as in country trains. Just getting a ticket can be tricky as not everyone will sell them. Most train systems assume you are going to the major city in their country, (Paris) and so the routes do not always make sense for other trips. One train per day (or less) is not good service. Cross border makes it much more likely you have to transfer to a different train and the poor on-time performance of some nations becomes a problem.

There are not border controls which is nice. However there are a lot of other things that can go wrong. Some routes work much better than others. Europe is a big place with lots of different trains systems if you only went on the good routes you won't have a problem, but there are a lot of routes that are not as good - and many more routes that should exist but do not at all.
My dude what is going on with these planss
Someone explained to me that the subconscious mind does not like giving up something that it likes in exchange for nothing.

Say for example you want to give up smoking.

So don't give up. Instead, just stop that behavior for the present time - then your subconscious is not fighting you.

So you want a cigarette? Well sure OK you can have one, but defer that decision to have it for some period of time. Maybe start with 30 seconds. Build up the defer period. See if you can defer that cigarette for 1 minute, 2 etc etc. After the defer period has elapsed, if you still REALLY want the cigarette then have it - don't fight your subconscious mind.

Eventually, you'll have deferred that cigarette essentially indefinitely. You never "gave up smoking", so your subconscious hasn't been forced to get you back in line by reestablishing the cigarette smoking behavior that it likes.

Even with this strategy, it still took me hundreds of attempts to give up cigarettes. Those things are addictive.
Permissible towards antisemitism, or towards the actions of the Israeli government? It's frustrating how conveniently these two are conflated. The Israeli government shouldn't be immune to criticism, but behind this thinly veiled wall, it largely is.

Oh, I agree that the hate for short-sellers is overdone.

But the financial world (and the stock market in particular) forces the detachment of "profit" from "(useful) productivity", and this is clear to everyone, even if they don't express it like that.
If you have trained a person to draw, or paint, and they're really good at it, and if they have general knowledge of pop culture, you could ask them to draw the Simpsons, or Mario and Luigi, and they could. It is not literally copying so much as re-synthesizing. The artist's mind contains an archetype of Mario, and knows how to draw figurines in general. And if you commissioned an artist to draw that, and published it, it would be copyright infringement. But the artist does not infringe merely by having that potential.

I'm of the interpretation that the models do not infringe; the person running inference infringes when they intend to create copyrighted imagery using the model.
This looks great!

I would recommend putting this in chrome store. It's relatively simple to do so.

Fortunately, Boeings work on the 737 MAX was independently checked by non-US aviation authorities who aren't subject to US Congress provisions.
The Case for Spreadsheets
+1 for MX. Been using it for a while and I love it.
I assume that a lot of people here want to avoid the 737s not necessarily because they're scared for their lives, but as a way to show disapproval to Boeing. Like, I won't avoid flying a 737 Max if it's the only option for flying, but I generally prefer to pick a different manufacturer if it's available. On a large scale, many people avoiding a specific aircraft model puts pressure on airlines to not start or continue ordering said model.

In developed capitalist economies children become liability, and not an asset. This is why fertility rates all over the world get rapidly decreased, even in homophobic societies.

I don't think the global fertility rate is in any way impacted by LGBT people not having children, even if it's a factor, it is just minuscule compared to the effects of e.g. better education and living in a post-industrial economy.
Traditional engineering in the US pays pretty poorly, not enough to live comfortably in T1 cities. My civil, chemical, and mechanical engineering friends all live and work in “fly over” states for major multinationals.

As per the petition from Boeing:

> "it cannot be shown that the EAI [Engine Anti-Ice] system meets the probability requirements applicable to this regulation."

In my understanding, Boeing is asking for to be excluded from the risk assessment entirely. They know there is a possibility that the structure could be weakened enough to fail during normal flight.

> "the nacelle inlet structural temperatures during EAI operation may cause the inner barrel to lose sufficient strength such that capability to carry limit and ultimate loads may not be maintained."

> "analysis and engineering flight testing showed there is a potential for structural damage."

Their entire justification for why the risk is acceptable is that no one has had parts fly off yet and surely pilots will follow the flight rules to turn off the deicer:

> "737 MAX has been in service since 2017 and has accumulated over 6.5 million flight hours. In that time, there have been no reported cases of parts departing aircraft (PDA) due to overheating of the engine nacelle inlet structure".

> "Operators [Pilots] must adhere to the mandatory AD [Airworthiness Directive], mitigating the potentially unsafe condition."

Oh, and they petition relief from some of the human factors requirements as well. Which indicates they don't want to be judged based on the probability that pilots will not turn off the EAI.
This is such a shame, they were planning to built SMRs in my country (Poland). I hope GE Hitachi won't abandon the project now.

Currently, I'm very enthusiastic about fervoenergy.com. It presents an outstanding alternative to gas and coal for district heating, and it may even have potential for electricity generation.
AdWords was doing just fine before DoubleClick. That's how they got the money to buy DoubleClick in the first place.

The problem was specifically DoubleClick management, who then got inserted in high levels within the Ads organization, forcing out the very technically & economically savvy people who were there before.

This is a recurring problem in large organizations. People who spend their time learning to be politically savvy will be...politically savvy, and be at an advantage when playing power politics that determines who is in charge. The effort needed to become politically savvy usually comes at the expense of domain/technical/economic knowledge required to actually get the job done. Eventually the organization becomes very good at playing political games and very bad at getting stuff done, until it collapses.

Conveniently both your examples have received technical deep dives by Fabien Sanglard, who has made both the relevant texts freely available in PDF form [0][1].

Mode-X was an annoying video mode to actually make use of without a performance hit. So despite its highly desirable combination of square pixels and 256-colors, it didn't see much use in games from the DOS days. 13h (320x200x256) was far more common because of its contiguous, linear frame buffers. Mode-X needed annoying bank switching where the first bank had pixels 0,4,8... and second bank pixels 1,5,9... and so on. The VGA was such a PITA.

Yes, ad money built a lot of the web. I’m not saying it’s evil on a conceptual level, but rather that a lot of companies start failing when they switch from thinking about what their users would like which happen to be ad supported as opposed to building products which are designed around ad revenue first. It’s what gives you things like Google+ but also things like social media sites optimizing for outrage or other low-quality interactions which maximize ad sales revenue.

YouTube has obviously done well, but look at everything they’ve done since the ad sales mentality dominated their thinking. Stuff like Google+ happens when you are thinking “we need X to keep Facebook from cutting into our ad revenue, therefore our users will use X” rather than asking “what will our users like more than Facebook?”.

The other side is what we saw with things like Stadia, GCP, or G-Suite where executives used to the ad model have trouble with other business models. The problem there again isn’t that ads are evil but rather that you need to understand your users and what they want so you can think about the product the right way.
Especially since, most of the time, they weren't intending to rear end you and therefore may be going far too fast to reasonably slow down in time. In my town of 1200 we had a death recently where a driver (no seatbelt) was speeding through a 45 MPH road and somehow didn't see the loaded dump truck stopped to turn left at a construction site. Full speed contact, his vehicle veers to the right and into the ditch. He was either killed instantly or when he hit the ditch.
what a bizarre comment. the conclusion is hardly defeatist.

the TLDR of the article is that if you (for example) are struggling with focus, a strategy that is basically telling yourself to focus (while loud music is playing around you) will not yield as much success as removing distractions (turning off the music) in your environment, then trying to focus again.

the efficacy of the two strategies is dependent not entirely on ones fortitude, rather ability to craft an environment that plays to the strength of will, so to speak.
The consolidation in aerospace and defense was a much longer process than that. All of the companies with names like “McDonnell Douglas”, “Lockheed Martin”, or “Northrop Grumman” were formed by mergers. If you actually break apart Boeing’s merger history there were at least a half dozen WWII-era companies that slowly consolidated over half a century.

Part of this was because WWII subsidized an unsustainable and frankly absurd level of demand. For instance, Grumman almost exclusively built carrier-based fighters, and by the end of WWII they were producing planes so quickly that the Navy stopped doing periodic heavy maintenance of their aircraft in lieu of dumping them into the sea and replacing them with brand new planes. Obviously business for Grumman would never be quite that good ever again.

I was a smoker for over 20 years, then I switched to Juul - I was content. Nicotine is by far my favorite drug. I could smell again, and my stamina and breathing were noticeably improved.

When they started to ban the stronger vapes, my options were to go back to cigarettes, suffer withdrawal from a less potent nicotine concentration, buy one of those contraptions and start a hobby, or quit entirely.

I quit entirely, and it sucked. Luckily, there was a pandemic going on, so I could contain the 'blast radius', but it was very much a self-hate process to get through it - hating myself for smoking in the first place as a teenager, hating that I was controlled by something like that, and hating that I didn't have agency over my own cravings, and just hating because Nicotine withdrawal sucks.

I don't think I could have done it with a positive attitude and inner strength. I still miss nicotine, and if they brought back the stronger Juul's, I'd probably start again.

First of all, the posters were not obviously satirical (as evidenced by the letter I linked). The intent of the posters only matters if you think MIT left the posters up because they had a leftward intent but a rightward message. But MIT made their decision before knowing the identity or politics behind the posters.
This isn't the only example, but it is one that straightforwardly shows that MIT is consistent with regards to its free speech policies.

You accuse me of arguing dishonestly. Instead, why don't you present your evidence that MIT has acted against its policy in an official capacity?

Low n is pretty unavoidable here, considering how few aircraft generally get made. Even for the world's leading manufacturers, deliveries are counted in units per month.

The point here is that the aviation industry is one of the most regulated and scrutinized industries in regards to safety, and yet despite all that, one manufacturer keeps making very dangerous slip-ups.
Ah, I did this too, though it was actually a New Year’s Eve resolution to start smoking which I did successfully - had one cigarette with some friends who were planning on quitting as their New Year’s resolutions which I then joined with them as a new smoker. I was the only one able to follow through on that.
I think this encourages judging comments by their author's reputation rather than their intrinsic value.
The problems crossing the border in Europe have nothing to do with the physical crossing. the Schengen zone is nice for that, but only solves one problem.

Often there is no border crossing at all where there should be one. Often nobody knows how to sell you a ticket for a trip that should be possible (or they will only do it with stupid restrictions). If you can find a train it may be a slow speed train despite this being trips where high speed is most useful. The trains may not be on time and you miss a connection.

there is a lot to improve about trains in Europe.
Is there any kind of alternative that could be found, or have we reached the end of history, with our only two options being 2023 capitalism versus 1960s Soviet state capitalism?

I didn't read this particular article but I've heard of other studies that express the same idea. The point isn't that you can't beat bad habits, its that the best way to beat bad habits is making them harder to do.

If you want to quit smoking you get rid of your cigarettes.

if you want to lose weight you throw away your junk food.

Keeping junk food in your house when you're trying to lose weight relies on self control and willpower to avoid eating in a caloric surplus. Same logic applies to not going grocery shopping when you haven't eaten all say since you're likely to indulge and buy some stuff you don't need for example
Cool, so we've established that you're somewhere on the spectrum from indifferent to supportive of the agenda of a man who is pretty explicitly trying to bring Orban-style authoritarianism to the US [1].

So, agree to disagree, I guess.

KDE really, really needs logind - it can't really use ConsoleKit any more. Same with SDDM, though I think the CK2 backend is still writhing in agony somewhere in its codebase.

And KDE's touchpad integration relies on libinput, which relies on udevd. I think libinput might work with mdev if you really try hard enough?

I am not aware of KDE having dependencies on any other bits of systemd, at least Plasma 5 LTS doesn't.
