The video in the post addresses points 1, 3, and 4 quite well, in my opinion. Did you watch it?

Also, if we granted your fourth point, it would be impossible to establish the first point; you can't say both things at the same time.

Regarding point 2, if the "hot" models are accurate, then climate change is something that will effect us maybe one or two generations from now, if it isn't already (it's a little hard to tell whether we are in a particularly hot period right now and will regress to the mean). Even if you are completely selfish, anti-natalist, and atheist, you should probably still be concerned.
Good for them, it works fine, why meddle with it? Old hardware can be super accurately emulated on old hardware these days. The only issue is that Windows is not open source, so there are hassles with licensing and they can't ask for official minor fixes. But open source didn't not really take off back in the day, so an understandable hurdle.
Yes, a lot of the problems with drugs is probably cultural. We decided to convince people that they are absolutely powerless against addiction, that this is a disease they were born with it and there's no much they can do themselves, that they can't have absolutely no agency.

Thanks! One thing that works for me: I just turn the heat all the way off at night (or down to ~12 C to protect pipes, but I don't think it's ever gotten that cold inside). I just use more bedding if I need it - I'm generating 37 C, much warmer than desireable, so I just need to trap enough of that heat. Mornings are delightful, and my body retains the nighttime heat from the bedding (in its thermal mass, I suppose). Usually I don't turn on the heat until sundown.

Your link fails to establish that. The main problem with animal behavior surveys is that they tend to report good results when you start with a known earthquake, and then look backwards to find unusual animal behavior before the earthquake. If you instead try to define objective criteria on animal behavior and then use that as a signal to predict earthquakes, the quality of animal behavior as a predictor turns to crap. In a nutshell, unusual animal behavior precedes most earthquakes... and many more events that turn out not to be earthquakes!

There are some things Wine doesn't do. Last time I checked, it didn't fully implement DCOM, so it couldn't be used for OPC (OLE for Process Control) and similar. And the use case in the parent comment might need Windows 98 because (other than Windows ME which everyone pretends didn't exist) it was the last DOS-based version of Windows; AFAIK, Wine does have some MS-DOS emulation, but it's limited to what some Windows 3.x software might need.

I think this is just a case of you arguing from a different set of assumptions. The thread starter started out with a Django app and wanted to distinguish between frontend libraries' conceptual "heaviness" for adding bits of interactivity to their website. Obviously in that case (i.e. being comfortable in Django and wanting to keep that) a framework that assumes that you'll move all logic into it is then conceptually pretty heavy, given that they're not going to do that.

If you are, then sure, those frameworks are conceptually lighter.

One thing I know is the most invasive anti-cheat of them all: Vanguard. When you are running Windows 11 it requires secure boot to be enabled (IIRC this isn't the case for when running Windows 10).

When and where we are born definitely has an effect on personality, irrespective of family, in most cases. Astrological star data is a proxy for the when and where, and while thus would not be causative, would often be correlative. So it makes sense to do PCA on it as you'll identify a lot of good correlations.

I’m looking for a secure authentication/proxy application to put in front of the webservers that have to be exposed to the internet. The application will authenticate the user with SSO or hardware key, before forwarding the traffic to the right internal address.

Cloudflare Tunnels are great, but CF doesn’t allow the TLS pass through. CF man in the middles and decrypts the traffic.

So far I have looked into Teleport, authelia, authentik, and keycloak, perhaps combined with Traefik.

The $25 one on the app store is probably the actual one. The creator of Anki has only monetized on iOS/iPadOS (one app, works on both) with a $25 one-time purchase.

> The problem is, this party never wins in Appalachia - all of their policies are ignored. Nobody takes the job training. Everyone locally votes against it and opposes those social support systems.

What are you talking about? Appalachia was a core part of the FDR coalition. From 1932 until 2000, West Virginia voted Republican just three times: Reagan, Nixon, and Eisenhower (each just once, in landslide re-elections for those candidates).

West Virginia and similar places were the base that provided the majorities for Democrats’ social welfare programs of the 20th century. Who is more qualified to conclude that whatever crumbs they get from social welfare don’t compensate for the downsides of economic change from globalism and social change from immigration?

>They were told that for each correct guess, they would earn an extra dollar, and for each incorrect guess, they would lose 50 cents.

Its been proven time and again that these meaningless level rewards are pointless in studies and often even distort/bias the data (people treat it like a board game). Probably only second to people not considering SES even when they are studing SES.

I am more interested in reading about debunked studies rather than new ones, as you can tell I have a huge general assumption that they will be poorly performed.

I guess the one thing that was also left out from my comment was also that most of these experiments are carried out by college age undergrads that are rich (and still mostly white).

Yeah they are "overseen" by someone with a PHD.... who depends on getting as many papers as possible published. Which is another issue. As I said I obviously have some serious bias against the validity of most "social science"

That could be the intro for a Four Tet set :)
Right, but a lot of this is also the purpose of fiction.
the 6502, 8080, z80, 8085, 8086, 65816, 68000, and 68010 were universally described as microprocessors, not microcontrollers, but did not have mmus built in (and of these only the 68010 could easily have one bolted on, as i understand it)

i think typically the thing that distinguished these from microcontrollers like the 8031, 8051, 8748, 8751, pic1650, etc., is that the microcontrollers had program memory built into them, either rom, eprom, or, starting in the 90s, flash. so they didn't need to be booted, they didn't need program ram, and in fact for a lot of applications they didn't need any external ram at all
Probably because when you are poor you learn that reward is not going to be consistent. Your parents may love you as much as possible, but they don't have the resources to consistently reward you.

Your teachers might be the most caring education professionals ever, but in your poor district, there's no much they can do consistently.

So, basically your brain probably says to you: Don't get over-excited with this, this is probably a one-of-thing.
Yes, but I'm not going to do your homework for you. I won't address an argument you don't make.

>Also, if we granted your fourth point, it would be impossible to establish the first point; you can't say both things at the same time.

Please elaborate. There isn't a formal fallacy here so I'm assuming you have some esoteric implicit "own".

>Regarding point 2, if the "hot" models are accurate, then climate change is something that will effect us maybe one or two generations from now, if it isn't already (it's a little hard to tell whether we are in a particularly hot period right now and will regress to the mean).

They aren't.

Anyways, again, if you're talking about immediate threats to your physical self, it's obvious that only a very deluded individual would rank "climate change" anywhere reasonable.

The threat model is just laughable. It fails too many conspiracy sniff tests and reeks of the same psychology that enables doomsday cults (vague predictions that constantly fail and are re-made).

> because we waste time on money on programs that have no chance of success.

And presumably learn from it. While wasting a lot of money and effort (and people) on programs that won't work isn't good, neither is not trying because the effect is presumed, pre hoc, to be small or non-existent.

We live in a world where most people aren't enabled to achieve their potential. Figuring out that extrinsic rewards don't work to motivate behavioral changes or achievement for some people of a certain category, regardless of why, will hopefully result in the testing of other non-extrinsic-reward interventions that may work to motivate.
Among others: having to transmit 1200-1500byte packets individually to the kernel, which it will all route, filter (iptables, nftables, ebpf) individually instead of just acting on much bigger data chunks for TCP. With GSO it gets a bit better, but it’s still far off from what can be done for TCP.

Then there’s the userspace work for assembling and encrypting all these tiny packets individually, and looking up the right datastructures (connections, streams).

And there’s challenges load balancing the load of multiple Quic connections or streams across CPU cores. If only one core dequeues UDP datagrams for all connections on an endpoint then those will be bottlenecked by that core - whereas for TCP the kernel and drivers can already do more work with multiple receive queues and threads. And while one can run multiple sockets and threads with port reuse, it poses other challenges if a packet for a certain connection gets routed to the wrong thread due to connection migration. Theres also solutions for that - eg in the form of sophisticated eBPF programs. But they require a lot of work and are hard to apply for regular users that just want to use QUIC as a library.

Even the IMF concedes that “An important feature of an economic model is that it is necessarily subjective in design because there are no objective measures of economic outcomes. Different economists will make different judgments about what is needed to explain their interpretations of reality.”

I've noticed 'different economists' have a judgement that always aligns with what the rich want. Supply side anyone? Tax cuts for the rich? Reagan proved deficits don't matter?

This comes with a big caveat that if the type assertion is wrong at runtime that the AOT'ed app will crash. Also I get the sense that the author assumes type "string" always means non-null and non-undefined but this is only true if the strictNullChecks compiler option is enabled.

Nonetheless, cool to see folks experimenting in the JS engine arena, especially around AOT!
This seems more like a social commentary about job satisfaction for the career at almost 80%, but I suspect the pattern of movement that the “only way to get a significant salary upgrade is to switch jobs” is the secret pressure. There are a LOT of disincentives to moving right now, especially with coast housing stock being at record cost and such low levels. Add to the fact that employers seem to be having a great time laying everyone off, and you have a powder keg for dissatisfaction.
Arguably, iOS compensated much (and even added) in the original skeuomorphic / Forstall-era designs. (Famously, toddlers were able to operate these interfaces.) The crucial failure was not reconsidering this from the basics for flat UI. At this point, it became unavoidably a mix of what had been learned by users, but was not indicated anymore, because you don't want to break traditions, and what was actually in the UI language. As a result, instead of a clear language, there is now a diffuse aura of how things may work.

(Also, reportedly – I have no way to corroborate this –, in the Ive-era, designs were evaluated in print-outs, which is simply how not to do interaction design.)
