>Pedantry like this always intrigues me when it's so clearly wrong both in daily use and formal sources...like where is it coming from?

Its coming from common sense, which seems to be forgone these days. Just because something is, common, accepted, written in stone, written in the fucking dictionary doesn’t mean it’s correct.

There is no logical argument for calling electronic presentations "decks", period.

Go back to overhead projectors, what were those called cards? No they were called transparencies. No one ever said "Hand me that deck of transparencies", no they would have called it stack, not a deck.

So what happened is one day some high ranking jack-ass in suit called it a "deck" because they thought it made them sound more intelligent than they actually are, and no one in the room had the balls to say "What the fuck did you just call the power point?" So here we are, with idiots parroting the useless business jargon it has now become "accepted", and written the fucking dictionary.

If some moron can start a trend and get idiotic business jargon into the general lexicon, them maybe this moron can get it out.

That shouldn't be too surprising, as a larger fraction of the volume of a brain should be taken up by "wiring" as the size of the brain expands.

I think you're talking about struct timespec, I'm talking about time_t.

I don't think "POSIX time" specifies behavior during leap-seconds for the functions that return timespecs (gettimeofday() [0] and clock_gettime(CLOCK_REALTIME) [1]), so any behaviour would be valid - including smearing or repeating nanoseconds?

Gleam is a tooling development language, not a concurrency language. It runs away from Erlang's concurrency ecosystem. Also, its documentation, especially wrt concurrency, is sorely lacking. In its current state it would be a mistake it to use it for any distributed work, but perhaps this can change in time.
I thought Conway's law was fairly prolific.

Though, the closer it is to a true a "law", then the closer GP's comment approaches a tautology.

We still won't reach peak population until 2060 at the earliest, and more likely around 2100. [1] has a good graph by region on page 4, and a graph for world population near the end. Most regions haven't reached their population peak yet and subsaharan Africa is still growing strongly.

Of course a lot of this is just delayed by higher life expectancies. Aging populations will require major social reforms in our lifetime, and I don't think society is really prepared

> After all the non-breeders die off, the future belongs to the reproducers.

I suspect it was downvoted because that line suggests dismissal or contempt for people who don't have children.

There are many people across all generations who haven't had children (either by choice or because they were unable for various reasons), and their lifespans and social contributions are no more or less on average compared to people that do have children.
I do suppose that makes a lot of sense. I imagine it's twofold, too: having your own language probably instills a sense of community, which is heightened by the isolation one feels from being so disconnected from so many other communities (including society at large)
Scientists find 57,000 cells and 150M neural connections in tiny sample of brain
The people of typical child rearing age today grew up in the "16 and pregnant" era, where having children was demonized. They were told that to have children was a failing, and that they should focus on their career instead – that was the key to a successful, happy life. Social pressure is a hell of a drug.

Is that fashion going to remain, though? Everything goes out of style eventually. I think we are already seeing some cracks where people are starting to question why having children is so "wrong". Nothing happens overnight, but I'm not so sure the children today will grow up in that same environment.
Pretty cool story; but I'm pretty amazed by the detail in the Italian map of the area.

Sortof - sioyek will parse the text and attempt to create a table of contents (this does not modify the base pdf), but the accuracy/usefulness varies. For papers I have found it works reasonably well, just sometimes misses a few sections or includes a few junk entries. For textbooks, especially ones with heavy math typesetting, there are too many junk/missing entries a lot of the time in my experience.

For papers or for textbooks I only need a small subset of, I find the autogenerated table of contents + bookmarks is typically sufficient. For other cases I like to use pdf.tocgen (https://github.com/Krasjet/pdf.tocgen) to semi-manually generate a correct table of contents.
I imagine they determined the focus of the seizures by electrical techniques.

I worry this might make the sample biased in some way.
I think you are missing the point.

The calculation is intentionally underestimating the neurons, and even with that the brain ends up having more parameters than the current largest models by orders of magnitude.

Yes the estimation is intentionally modelling the neurons simpler than they are likely to be. No, it is not “missing” anything.

I feel surprisingly disconnected from my speaking self, acting as more of an observer, who is sometimes surprised at what I come up with. It just flows. I feel I have very little need for input.

But, I also feel fairly disconnected from my thinking self. I point my attention at something and solutions usually just pop out, maybe with some guidance/context forming required, in the form of internal dialog, which is usually of a rubber ducky style format [1], or mental testing of that mostly spontaneous solution.

I feel the "real" me is the one sensing/observing, which includes the observing of those spontaneous solutions, and what I say.

Yes of course the Patriot Act ushered in all kinds of mischief and scope creep. But the case here, in my opinion, is a legitimate one. We know videos such as this fuel further extremism on both sides of the divide. The fact that a Govt even needs to request X take down a video of a violent terrorist act speaks volumes about Musk, the same man that banned an account that tracked his private jet using publicly available data... So 'freedom of speech' when it suits?

In the same way that your local power plant isn't solely responsible for the pollution created in heating surrounding homes, it's probably not reasonable to look at the places that have done the fabricating, weaving, injection molding, spinning, etc for the rest of the world as being the major center of pollution.

As they can. It is still largely a developing country with half the population in poverty.

>The etymology is the exact same thing. Terms stick as formats change

What etymology? In the overhead projector days they were called transparencies (not cards), and you would have said "a stack of transparencies", not a deck.

Deck is a new made-up business jargon.
This is a stark reminder of why we shouldn't rely too much on social media accounts (especially those where we're the product because it's free).

Back in 2017, the same thing happened to me on Facebook. I was banned because of a post I made that included a picture of someone holding a magazine cover from an old Byte magazine issue - the description was the same "community guidelines, blah blah blah" and there was absolutely nothing about the picture that could be remotely inappropriate. The magazine cover just read "Is Unix Dead?" and the holder was fully clothed in a t-shirt and jeans.

However, for me that was a good wake-up call that made me realize how silly it was for me to have a Facebook account. I immediately deleted my account instead of waiting for the ban to be lifted and never looked back.

And luckily, Unix is not dead.
My point stands. Thats like one guy. Thats not ""an entire industry gets shutdown by the government".

That was my point. Sure, they might go after like one guy or one company. They aren't going to take out half of the tech startups in all of the US though. They also aren't going to confiscate everyone's gamer PCs.

I also think its funny that you literally posted a wikipedia page, where in the page itself it contains the "illegal" numbers.

So that proves my entire point. Your best example, is apparently an example where I can access the "illegal" information on a literal public wikipedia page!
Overhead projector slides were called transparencies, not cards. Deck makes no sense.

Population increase (and the increase of its increase) has always been a constant for as long as I've lived so yes I suppose. I don't think we are prepared for the spout of working-age people to start slowing down (especially with the population of the elderly only getting higher).

Assuming we only get this planet though, I suppose it couldn't've gone like this forever haha.
This must be terribly frustrating and I'm glad the author got things resolved. But it's baffling to me that they seem to want to continue to use Meta products. I guess if they're the 28th Instagram user they're pretty tied to them, love them, etc.? But wouldn't the fact that their accounts were banned for something so nasty they don't even want to write exactly what it was, a thing so bad that Meta said they'd have to inform "the authorities" about it, make someone say "yeah I'm done using these products"?
But in two dimensions of space and one of time, that's only a momentary occlusion right?
Finish the thought. How do they profit from someone else's creative work? Is it a) by just taking it because they can? or b) by mutual agreement with the original creator?
I never claimed that it is inevitable that they'll sustain their current growth rate for the next 2-3 centuries, only that it is entirely possible. And I don't see why it wouldn't be. If you look at ultra-Orthodox Jews in New York/New Jersey, I don't see how they'd hit any natural barriers to their continued growth until they are many times larger than they are now, at which point they'd be a serious challenger for becoming the population majority.

The main ways it might not happen would be if either (1) they (gradually or suddenly) abandon their current culture for a less fertile one, (2) mainstream society persecutes them sufficiently. Both are entirely possible, but neither is anywhere near certain.

The situation for the (Old Order) Amish is more difficult, since – unlike ultra-Orthodox Jews – they'll run out of enough land to sustain their agrarian lifestyle, and will have to transition to a more urban one. While the more urban lifestyle of ultra-Orthodox Jews demonstrates it is possible for insular high fertility religious minorities to exist in an urban setting, there is a real risk that they might lose their fertility and/or their insularity in the process.

Also, people often bring up the problem Israel has with many ultra-Orthodox Jews not working and relying on government subsidies to live. That is much less of a problem in the US than it is in Israel, so the sustainability of that lifestyle is less of a barrier to future growth in the US than it is in Israel. Furthermore, the fact they manage to grow so much in the US without doing that, means being forced to stop doing that isn't necessarily going to stop their growth in Israel either.

That isn't really how that works at all. If you have a brother and a sister who both have male and female children, that's basically the same genetic line going on.

The only exception I can think of is if you have some mutation they didn't. But in that case if you're aware of the mutation the consequences are likely to be awful, which is a great case for not having biological children.
If you stop pretending that universal time exists, then each timezone would need its own NTP stratum 0 atomic clock., Higher strata NTP servers would have to be told which timezone you wanted, and only return you the time sourced from whatever country's national labs count for that timezone, and those labs would not be allowed to compare each others times.

Each clock would run at a slightly different rate, based on imperfections in the equipment, the altitude of the laboratory and the amount of nearby mass in its vicinity. National clocks would drift, relative to each other, and so would everybody's timestamps. CET would be perhaps +1:00:00.000002 ahead of GMT rather than being exactly +1:00.

You'd have to continually measure and publish this drift in some kind of timezone-to-timezone comparison service, so that people who make network connections across the world don't end up finding that packets appear to arrive before they've been sent (due to National Clock drifts)

It's an interesting thought experiment. But I prefer where all the worlds' labs work together to produce a consensus universal time, and we just add fixed political offsets to it.

> If you don't have anyone you can trust to interview technical folks

If you have an IT or SWE department, you let them hire people they need. Which means you put technical people in charge that knows what is required. If you don't have trust in your department, no one can fix that.

> And similarly, if you hire good developers but your corporate culture is bad

That's on the company. And I found it's when they want to applies a standard policy across all departments. Like the same standard issue computers and a management software that eats half the ram. Peter can work fine in Word, but Julie's IDE is freezing every hour.

I still remember "pwned" as a misspelling of "owned." Then of course there were all the other l33t spellings, but pwnd seemed to be the one most specifically about mistyping.
