Mutt: <http://www.mutt.org/>

You can directly access any arbitrary mailbox format with the '-f' option:

mbox -f mymail.mbox

From there it's trivial to move mail to another format, "bounce" it to a specified address, or any number of other options. There are reasons mutt remains my preferred email tool....

Among other factors, mutt can manage mbox, Maildir, mdir, and networked (pop, IMAP) mail archives. In particular, if you set up or connect to an IMAP server, you can use mutt to translate between mbox and an IMAP server quite easily.

There are also a set of mail-handling utilities which are part of mh / xmh, a command-line. Jerry Peek, an O'Reilly author and general shell wizard is a fan and expert with that system:

Mozilla Thunderbird, GNOME Evolution, KDE Kmail, Sylpheed, Eudora, Alpine, Balsa, and if my GPT session is to be trusted, should also all handle mbox and other mailbox formats. For Apple see:

Recently read an article suggesting that we should drop the term Long Covid, as it implies that there is something unique about it, when the research seems to show that the impairment post-Covid is very similar to that from Influenza:

> the Ariane 6 will not fly until 2020 at the earliest

Here we are in 2024, and the first flight of Ariane 6 is tentatively penciled in for June. Not holding my breath, but at least a lot of French rocket scientists have been gainfully employed building this useless white elephant.
I have a single memory before I was 6 months old. I was young enough to not be able to move much, not even to flip over, and everything was black and white. It was not a story my parents planted. I remember being in a crib and being picked up by my father. That’s it. For a long time, I thought it was something when I was older, until I had kids of my own and had a better idea of infant development.

The more I recall this memory, the more I can tell, I am recalling a copy of the memory rather than directly experiencing that memory.
Thanks. Hard earned knowledge, haha.
If I recall correctly there were some studies that actually showed endurance runners have higher type 2 diabetes risk. And the suspect cause was the diet, specifically the carb loading practice and the abuse of high sugar products during the activity. So the three categories may actually share the same baseline, insulin resistance. It was quite controversial when it emerged (see Tim Noakes story), not sure if it's more accepted these days.
True and in this case it’s hard to do research. But in my specific case since I could actually draw the layout and my parents verified it, I know that the memories were accurate. There is no other way for me to have that information, there was very little photos back then (film was expensive), we moved far away from that village and never came back so I couldn’t have gained the information afterwards but I could draw a layout and write out the color of the walls for each room.

That said how would you design a study to validate this? If parents or members of the family are the only ones with the information to verify this, it’s hard to eliminate the conflict of interest.

Also in the age of digital cameras children nowadays are much more likely to have a big library of photos or videos of their early childhood and be able to reconstruct memories based on looking at them later.

This is true, but then again, these days, it's easy to look up at a popular open source Qt app and copy its CI recipes. For example, anyone that wants recipes for creating binaries for multiple operating systems can copy the GitHub workflows in my open source note-taking app: https://github.com/nuttyartist/notes/tree/master/.github/wor...

That said, I really think Qt should have a separate commercial license that is exactly like LGPL but allows you to link statically and costs much less (without all the enterprisy things).
Zutty is useful for only one thing: passing VTTEST. I've tried it and it's unusable as the terminal you want to rely on to do everyday work.

they sure do. and one of those really makes me wonder how incredible things would be if we restructured what we incentivize.

i’ll echo what so many others in this thread have already said, stardew valley blew me away once my gf finally convinced me to play. it would be hard to overstate what a fantastic fun little world he built. i went into a little local computer shop the other day and they had the stardew music playing—i hadn’t played in like 3 years but that music immediately glazed over me like i was there in the game.

what an absolute gem.

corp studios and stardew developers definitely have different objectives and holy shit what a stark difference in outcomes.

Section 230 is being abused by criminal companies who want to have their cake and eat it too.

They act as a publisher and algorithmically tailor content to each individual user to increase engagement and still enjoy the protection of S230. Generally this results in noxious, harmful and/or illegal content being pushed to the top (as outrage or indignation yields way more engagement).

This is far from what S230 was originally meant to protect - content-agnostic communication mediums where the provider is simply facilitating the exchange of user-generated-content without exerting editorial control outside of edge-cases such as spam filtering/moderation.

Depends on the complexity of your task, the quality and breadth of your data, and how aligned the task is with what the pretrained model was pretrained for. Anywhere from very cheap and quick to very expensive and tricky.

The most interesting unconventional FPGA application I ever came across was Adrian Thompson's foray into evolutionary algorithms in the 90's. Implementing a "survival of the fittest" approach he taught a board to discern the difference between a 1kHz and 10KHz tone.

What's fascinating is the final generation of the circuit was more compact than anything a human engineer would ever come up with (a mere 37 logic gates), and utilized all kinds of physical nuances specific to the chip it evolved on - including feedback loops, and EMI effects between unconnected logic units.

If you think about how intelligence evolved on earth, we had a rich environment of physics for variety of causes and effects to interact in all kinds of diverse ways (not just boolean 1's and 0's or a limited set of instructions). Makes me wonder if to achieve true AGI you need to offer evolution a fairly rich set of primitives on which to flourish.

When you have a massive megaphone, your choices have impact at scale.

If I use a terminal with 30msec latency to connect to a host with another 30msec network latency, it's now 60msec - pretty noticible by an average human being. That's why reducing latency where you can to the minimal possible value is important.

>Taxes should be used to pay for government services, not as arbitrary attacks on people you don't like.

Land taxes are not arbitrary, it's a way of generating revenue from the single most important shared resource.

> Also, raising taxes just raises costs for renters.

Landlords usually have more pricing elasticity than renters, therefore taxes will have a depreciating effect on housing prices.

> The solution to housing affordability is building more housing.

Don't disagree

> don't try to fight against market forces

Increasing supply and using supply more efficiently are both important
> I can't help but think that feeding data different constellations in all at once wouldn't produce a good result

Obviously if you just mix up the bytes willy nilly then nothing good will come out of it.

How familiar are you with the terminology of mathematical optimisation? If you are then the intuition is that each satelite provides a different error term in one big function you are trying to optimise. The “knowns” you plug in to the terms are your observations (pseudorange, phase, etc) and the orbital parameters of the satelite broadcast by the satelites. The unknowns you are trying to solve are the x,y,z,t coordinates of the receiver you have. You are trying to find the unknowns which minimise the sum of the error terms. The error terms of the various constellations might have slightly different ”shapes”, but you can still run your optimisation them the same. As you add more satelite the number of unknowns remain the same (4), but you are adding more and more equations to your overdetermined system. When things are not pathological that leads to a better, more precise fit.

> aren't they all doin the same thing

Even if they were, sometimes it is valuable to have your own toy. If Russia is having a war in some region of the world and the US decides to turn off the GPS signals there is not much Russia can do about that. It is a US satelite and the US adjusts it as they see it fit.

If Russia has their own satelites and the US would like to deny them this the US have to attack Russian assets directly. That is a very different ball game.
It's always a eucatastrophe[1] for me. Some random event occurs and it gives me something to focus on. Maybe a person shows up in my life, or an event, or an idea. Contrary to common belief, trying to pull myself out through sheer will and habits never worked.

What's the performance impact of using VM-based eBPF for these tasks instead of native code?
Some people need it, some don't. When I upgraded to a 7950X I was unable to find an excuse to buy more than 32GB. "That one time a script compiled clang by default with LTO and OOMed" was not a good enough reason.

If you use a lot of VMs, it comes in handy. If you do a lot of heavyweight compilation in parallel, same thing. But at least on Linux, popping 3 VS Code projects and 4 more browsers doesn't even hit 50% utilization.
I wholeheartedly agree but working on something you can use is much more fun, and the chances this person uses discord are much higher than of them using matrix

I've spent a lot of time working with the Maxmind and other paid datasets for IP geolocation. One thing you'll quickly notice is that they disagree with each other, sometimes giving answers on different continents.

There's challenges here. IP addresses are dynamically assigned. They are bought and sold to different companies regularly.

That's not even getting into problems like VPNs, or remote browser sessions. The details and context are lacking here, but I disagree that you can be certain where a user is located using those tools and its harmful to believe you can.

It's a fantastic product and I use it everywhere.

My major complaint is that there's no easy way to follow defect statuses because the team has long stubbornly refused to implement a bug tracker[1] and that means I can't just subscribe to a defect to get status updates for an issue I want to watch. Instead I'm expected to follow the entire mailing list or watch changelogs like a hawk. It's incredibly dumb.

> It is because of these specific factors as well as inherent limitations of the study methodology itself, that their conclusion that it is “time to stop using terms like ‘long COVID’” is overstated and potentially unhelpful. Long COVID has been a global phenomenon, recognised by WHO.

> Unfortunately, this question cannot be simply answered in this work. The study is observational, based on reported symptoms with no physiological or detailed functional follow-up data. Without laboratory pathophysiological assessment of individual patients, it is impossible to say that this is indistinguishable from flu-related or any other post-viral syndrome.

Of course, every 'puchy-headline' paper deserves to be considered on its own merits, but perhaps read the paper not an article about the paper if you want to take it as 'The Truth'.

"Long covid is not a thing" plays into the "Covid is not a thing" conspiracy theory; it's probably a harmful trope, rather than meaningfully helpful for the people suffering symptoms.

There is universal agreement the symptoms are real.

It's unclear what benefit using a different name for it offers.

Hoisting in JavaScript: A Complete Guide, Part 1
I delve into a concept that even seasoned engineers find confusing, Hosting in JavaScript. This mechanism, where variables and function declarations are lifted/moved to the top of their containing scope (global, function, or block scope) before code execution, is essential for mastering JavaScript.

Understanding hoisting prepares you as a developer to grasp advanced concepts in JavaScript like: execution context, Temporal Dead Zone (TDZ), closure, variable shadowing, and this keyword, among others.

Take a look at the code below, will the JavaScript engine halt the execution of the code by raising an exception, or will the code successfully run without an exception? Find out the nuances and get ahead in your JavaScript journey.

// Global Scope
greeter();

function greeter() {
// Function scope
greet = "Good morning";
firstName = "Sixtus";
console.log(greet + ", " + firstName); // "Good morning, Sixtus"
var greet;
var firstName;
}

Engage with this article to discuss your thoughts and experiences around hoisting. Let’s elevate our understanding together!
Semi-related, there’s an anecdote that the InterBase database was selected for use within the M1 Abraham’s tank because it was particularly robust in its implementation.

Apparently an issue with the M1 is that because of the energy produced when the main gun is fired, internal systems may spontaneously reset. So they had to design around that phenomenon through things like robustness and rapid system restart times.
This was my guess. I believe I have experienced this as an adult too: I played on a special Minecraft server (an anarchy server) for a year or so, and despite spending so much time on it, I can hardly remember my first few days on there. I have no memory at all of being at the spawn location. I believe it's because of what you described - as I continued to play on the server, my understanding of how it worked changed completely so my initial memories no longer made sense under my new framework.
I also have a hobby of asking people what their earliest memory was.

My first memory is firmly datable to 10 days after my 3rd birthday. The assassination of John F. Kennedy was announced over the radio while I has sitting down with my mum at the kitchen table. Not a particularly traumatic memory. The response was surprisingly intellectual: something along the lines of "hmm the world is complicated", so not particularly traumatic. The memory has definitely never been externally re-implanted, but I sometimes wonder if it is a memory of a memory of a memory. It is nonetheless very vivid with lots of visual detail. There are a few other memories that are of events that occurred before my 4th birthday, but none that can be firmly dated.

I agree. In my experience, first memories dating to 5, 6 or 7 years old, or occasionally even later are pretty common; those dating to 3 or 4 years old, less common. I've never met anyone who has a memory that can be dated to before their 3rd birthday.

But the biggest challenge for almost everyone is attaching dates to early memories.
Instead of wanting people to ignore Long Covid wouldn't it be better to make people more aware of Long Flu?
I wish the article lingered a bit more on how people might've been fermenting foods in the past as well as exploring what fermentable food options were available. It would be interesting to run some experiments storing various foods in different ecosystems over long periods of time. How falsifiable is their hypothesis?

This would've been mostly in the African continent, right? I'd imagine it would be hard to get consistent fermentation going in more tropical climates.

> mundane stuff that would be unremarkable to adults but would have been much more significant to a small child (e.g. apartment maintenance man coming to fix an appliance). No one would tell a kid stories of that stuff.

While I believe you, I rehearse stories with my 2 year old about mundane things that happened yesterday, last week, last month to him a few times a day.

That said I am pretty confident the article is correct both from my personal experience and what I’ve read as a layperson regarding child development.

There’s a lot of research about biographical stories being a very American cultural phenomenon. My parents never did this with me, and I have maybe 1/10th-1/100th of the memories of childhood compare to an average American with no immigrant parents.
>If you work on hardware long enough you run into all kinds of things that make you realize just how little you know.

I was part of a team commissioning all of the process analyzers in a new chemical plant. We had an oxygen analyzer (measures oxygen content in a process stream) that kept giving off problematic readings. Every single flange and tubing fitting upstream of the analyzer, as well as the analyzer itself, was leak checked repeatedly to no avail.

One of the chemical engineers recommended we start leak checking downstream. Problem solved. Ambient oxygen was getting into the system downstream, diffusing upstream against the process flow, and was being detected by the analyzer. All the non-chem e's were mindblown.
