You can imagine her reaction when the NFL played stupid with "we had no idea the players needed so long to recover" 40 years later.

Well the first I heard even doctors making a big deal about them was the mid 2000s CTE research. And even that research was strongly linked with just one lab at BU iirc. It sounds like you're comparing the NFL to big tobacco. As much as I detest NFL commissioners/management, I don't think that comparison tracks with the science.
Great references! Thank you for commenting.

I dislike the figure of speech "A lot to unpack," but the Catt dialog on "the glitch" and electric current has a lot going on and I found it well worth the listen.

In interview 2/2 on electric current the "Demystifying Science" pair strangely fall into the orthodoxy of wanting to block and control dialog in order to manage the apparent controversy illuminated by Catt's perspective. They fight back even as they clearly express curiosity about, and sympathy with\ Catt's views and laments. I came away noting there's a profound natural block in the discourse of science towards a commonsense which is obviously insufficient to accommodate the world as we now find it.

It so happens that N. Chomsky gives a lucid presentation on the history of science that pertains directly to Ivor Catt's laments on blocking of science by an engineering orthodoxy.

Chomsky - Mind, Language and the Limits of Thought
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2NffP06zqkw

The talk begins with a proposal for 3 problems — "Plato's, Orwell's and Descartes'" — supported by a review of modern scientific thought, then segues into a supporting illustration of modern effects of these problems in the orthodoxy of NATO policy in Serbia. It's the tightest package of criticism of contemporary thought I've come across and will not be a waste of time for viewers at any level of interest and familiarity with the history of thought.

There are two versions of this presentation on Youtube made to different audiences on different dates. I prefer the clarity of this one.
Table rotation on a periodic (e.g. annual or financial year) basis is a common strategy, with carried-over opening balance records at the top coded to a dummy account. So the journal for the last ten years may actually be in tables journal_2013 through journal_2023. You can also then move these quiescent partitions to cheaper storage. After a few years, even to read-only archival medium. It’s not completely unknown for financial institutions to have to refer back to a paper form to audit or restate older accounts from inception.
honestly it's way easier for me to wash my high carbon lodge pan (and i can put that sucker directly into the oven) because i use steel wire ball, maybe a little soap, and hot water briefly and it's done. reseasoning up to the level needed is trivial with each use but one doesnt really worry about a proper season unless one cleans the pan with some insane pressure and soap. and pans dont really need to be seasoned to be used. the season helps avoid rust a little but then again you can simply store it with a finish of oil on if youre concerned about that.

to be frank cleaning a teflon etc pan is way more finicky because we need, hey, wait, more microplastics in the form of slowly degrading acrylic sponge pads or brushes etc.. but i guess you could use alternatives.

but anyway, there are also many other ways to keep dry lol it's not like teflon is the only solution
FYI Kindle is in the process of rolling out a new feature that enables read aloud with synchronized text highlighting. It doesn't sound as good as an audiobook, of course, and it's not as good as the Alexa-powered read-aloud. But it's still nice because you don't have to switch between the Kindle app and the Alexa app.

I understand that some users currently have access, and it will be rolled out to everyone in the next month.

You got a few different things here that interact in weird ways when you're making books about taking things apart and putting them back together:

1) Different configurations of the thing you're taking apart - when does a "configuration" become a wholly different thing? This is something that's still not been quantitatively handled, crazy as it sounds. We have the tech, but no one thinks it's worth buying into, because there's so much money riding on the customer thinking that the product variants are more similar than they actually are.

2) What's the logical disassembly? Does the air cleaner come off before the brake fluid reservoir? Wait, the variant with the fuel injector doesn't have the air cleaner . . so maybe don't combine the airbox and brake reservoir into a single assembly for this. ETC ETC.

3) Functional systems like wiring, hydraulics - where do those go? Do you group procedures by functional system, or by disassembly order? Also: who determines what a "function" is?

And of course on top of this you have integrations - do you want the handbook to "talk" to the CAD/CAM system? Wait, do you want the parts lists to come from somewhere else? Who's checking to make sure the CAD matches the PDM? And on and on and on and on. It's all good fun.

Also, speaking to the original article: XML-based publishing systems are not the be-all-end-all of pubs solutions; by and large, they're a gigantic tar baby for a publications department. Now, I'm not saying that systems using XML can't be pretty neat, by integrating with CAD/PDM/ERP, but that doesn't really have anything to do with XML. In fact, intensively granular XML formats - S1000D, iSpec2XXX and MIL-STD-40051 come to mind at once - don't do a whole lot more other than lock down content to a single software vendor in a single manufacturer for just the staff of the publications department. All of the good stuff from those specs are things that shouldn't live in a document format - they should be integrated from CM, ILS/IPS, SE, ERP, and PDM. The XML itself is entirely irrelevant, and by overspecializing the schema it guarantees that each instance is going to be bespoke to every single vendor/customer/program/project. Nothing XML does can't be done in Asciidoc, for much less money, with much less work, on a generic compute platform, and using a format that can be reviewed by any jerk with a good modern text editor.
In general the comments saying "Alt+Numpad" are correct, however it doesn't work for this character!

♥ is code 3, which is the same as Ctrl+C - typing this at the DOS prompt would cancel any input on the current line (and also flush disk buffers IIRC - something left over from CP/M)

It is possible to detect if the user pressed Ctrl+C or Alt+3, using BIOS calls or direct hardware access. However, the DOS console driver wouldn't do it this way, and instead convert both into the same ASCII code.

The only possible way to pass this character to the "copy" command (which was built into the command interpreter) would be to write a program that invokes "COMMAND.COM /C COPY /♥".

Story seems suspicious, if it happened at all it might have displayed "I ♥ SEX" when some other switch was present, then someone mixed things up?
The papers I've read generally indicate the average drinking water consumption is roughly only about 4%-10% RDA calcium, magnesium, and potassium. Most people should already be supplementing magnesium anyway since it's deficient in half of developed countries populations.
Two cards a year isn't even a blimp on most card issuers radar.

If you go to r/churning back a few years, people were getting 24 new cards a year. Open the card, buy $4,000 worth of gift certificates, claim the reward, close the card, repeat. It was insane the amount of effort people put into it.

Banks creates these rewards to incentivize people to open the cards. Chase did eventually put a limit of 5 cards in 24 months (a limit I have hit), but they just reject you for the card off the bat.

In terms of the credit score hit, it's minor. I've never had my score change by more than 5-10 points. I wouldn't do it if I was applying for a mortgage in the near term, but otherwise, it doesn't really change my score as 5-10 points doesn't change the band you're in.
I was thinking more about formal governmental news releases being propaganda, these get posted to Reddit (as just one example), and people believe them to be true despite how "obviously" "illegitimate" (in various ways) they are.

For what it is worth at this time - obviously acting on the following statement will require some level of trust -

It is very much ready to use with boost.asio. (I know that, because I myself use boost.asio religiously. If it were not compatible with it, I'd pretty much have to not use Flow-IPC myself.) Though, it could (fairly easily) gain a number of wrapper classes that would turn our stuff into actual boost.asio I/O objects; then it'd be even more straightforward.

Topic is covered here:

https://flow-ipc.github.io/doc/flow-ipc/versions/main/genera...

There's even the little section entitled, "I'm a boost.asio user. Can't I just give your constructor my io_context, and then you'll place the completion handler directly onto it?"

To summarize, though...

-1- You can have Flow-IPC create background threads as-needed and ping your completion handler (e.g., "message received") from such threads.

-2- You can have it not create any background threads, instead asking you to .async_wait() (via boost.asio, most easily; but also manually with poll() or whatever you want) whenever it needs internally to async-await something. Your own completion handler (e.g., handle just-received message M) shall execute synchronously at only predictable points, in non-blocking fashion.

-3- Direct integration with boost.asio - meaning ipc::transport::Channel (e.g.) would take an io_context/executor/whatever in its ctor, and .async_X(F) would indeed post F onto that io_context/executor/whatever = essentially syntactic sugar = a TODO. (I'd best file an Issue, I just remembered.)

The perf_demo (partially recreated in the blog-post) integrates into a single-threaded boost.asio io_context, using technique #2 above. In the source code snippets in the blog, we avoided anything asynchronous just to keep it focused for the max # of readers (hopefully).

You keep parroting this maxim without showing any convincing evidence of an error... what's the point of that? You obviously have some affinity for factual correctness, yet your style of argument and evidentiary rigor appears to boil down to "repeating the maxim many times in many different places makes it more factually true" which is obviously nonsense. Maybe some food for thought?

> so there are many differences

Yeah, one of those is that modern stacks often deliberately introduce additional latency in order to tackle some problems that Apple IIe did not really have to care about. Bringing power consumption down, less jitter, better hardware utilization and not having visual tearing tend to be much more beneficial to the modern user than minimizing input-to-display latency, so display pipelines that minimize latency are usually only used in a tiny minority of special use-cases, such as specific genres of video games.

It's like complaining about audio buffer latency when compared to driving a 1-bit beeper.
Top papers claim 99.5% accuracy. Since this is measured on a 10,000-sample evaluation set, there are 50 misclassified results.

I'd love to see a table of them. Back in the day, papers claiming top performance on MNIST would just start to enumerate all of the misclassified test samples, e.g. https://www.researchgate.net/figure/All-of-the-misclassified... from 2002. Newer papers have whittled this down to five misclassified digits, e.g. see §4.4 from https://arxiv.org/pdf/2001.09136v6.pdf for this particular flourish, though this isn't quite standard protocol (sample is counted as correct if any models in the ensemble match, not the majority)
It's also technically wrong.

For example, a bank might decide you likely can't pay your loan and write it down to zero. You might still have the liability on your books because you plan to repay it. They'll make the relevant entries in their system (and the debits and credits will balance) and you'll do nothing (which balances).

Double entry bookkeeping has zero to do with other entities. It's solely about your own books.
This is more likely to be similar to leaded gasoline. In a few decades we'll start to see the impact they caused after we successfully filter it out.
What is weird about this?

If a business fails to perform well, its customers can choose another provider, and the business will have to improve, or else it will fail.

If a government fails, what recourse do its "customers" have? Wait a few years for the next election and hope that the truth about the government's poor performance wins out over the propaganda, and hope that the citizens vote in competent, honest officials, who might gradually make improvements, despite having to work through non-elected officials who are difficult to replace for incompetency? How often does that happen? And what if the officials in question are merely appointed by those who are elected, and thereby insulated from accountability by several levels of indirection? What recourse do the "customers" have then? Can they choose another "rail provider"?

The private sector has natural consequences for failure and a natural incentive to excel and be efficient (certain circumstances, such as monopolies, notwithstanding). The public sector is heavily insulated from consequences for failure and inefficiency.

That doesn't mean that everything should be privatized. It means that we shouldn't be surprised when a service provided by the public sector fails to perform well or efficiently, and we should carefully consider what the government ought to be responsible for. Also, we should make it easier to hold government officials accountable and replace them for incompetence. If someone wants the security of a public sector job, they ought to be held to the highest standards.

RO is cheap enough for middle class or above (order of magnitude is ~ what you might spend on uniforms and excursions for a kid in a state primary school). Assuming a self install. So it is a good option if you can afford it. Maybe RO becoming part of the standard set of things you buy (washing machine, vacuum cleaner etc.) is the way. You have to keep up to date with filter changes though.

RO typically needs a post filter. Hopefully that doesn’t add any bad chemicals. But you need it as pure water is desperate to bind, so you can either bind it to something you choose, or bind it to whatever pipe work / tanks are beyond the filter. Also you might want a higher ph.

Maybe some disruption to make a nice looking, compact and cheap and zero install RO unit would be good and some subsidy for people without the means to buy one who live in risk areas. Plus subsidy for maintenance.

If the design is like a printer where you pull out and push in new cartridges and have warning lights it will make maintenance easy.

I think this paints an overly rosy picture of welfare programs. It reads like what a rich person would imagine how poor people think.

Taxes in India are computed in "slabs" of different rates. I believe everyone in India are allowed to exclude $3.5K from their annual income for computing their tax obligation. Of course, those making less that $3.5K do not pay any taxes. But those making over $3.5K do not pay any taxes for the first $3.5K of their annual income. So, there is no incentive to earn less as OP seems to suggest.

More or less benign paroxysmal positional vertigo. The bang on your head dislodged crystals that form in the fluid in your ear’s semicircular canals. These crystals form with age and normally collect in some nook in the inner ear. When they are floating around in the fluid, they can strike the tiny hairs in your inner ear that indicate to your brain how your body is moving and how it is positioned. When fluid flows by the Haus and makes them sway, your brain interprets that as motion.

But when a crystal hits a hair, your brain interprets it as “I am suddenly moving about one axis at high angular velocity.” You become insanely dizzy. The nature of this phenomenon is that when you turn your head one way, you feel like you are falling forever in that direction.

Solution: the Epley maneuver. Turn your head quickly in the direction of the falling while you are sitting in a bed. As your head turns, fall backwards quickly on to the bed. This motion more or less tucks the crystals back into their niche so you can regain your sense of balance.

The brain is crazy. The inner ear is crazy. See an ENT specialist before you follow my dumbass version of doctor’s orders, but if you suffer from Bppv maybe this will be interesting information.
