The data suggests that the gender variance relates with the societal mixing of genders. The low population countries might simply have large variance due to noise but for all countries in the 10s of millions population or higher there appears to exist an interesting signal. Part of obesity is potentially a true epidemic transmissible via human contact, and part of it may be societal norms that differ between genders in some countries more than in others.

There is no worry with electronics and Carrington Event or high-altitude EMP. The wavelengths are too long and electronics are too small. The main risk is induced current in long wires. I read article recently that long-distance fiber optic cables are vulnerable even under the sea.

My understanding is that it is fairly easy to protect the electrical grid from solar storms. It requires adding grounding at all of the vulnerable equipment. My impression is that the cables won't be hurt but the transformers can be destroyed. It sounds feasible to do but requires the government to regulate the utilities and provide money.

That would be a lot cheaper than implementing distributed grids. It is much more efficient to put lots of solar panels in sunny areas than enough panels and batteries in each house.

We have early warning system. This notice is from space weather tracking that detects flares and predicts if and when they will hit Earth. I don't know if anyone is thinking about how to decide and shut down the grid temporarily, but it should be something they are thinking about.
Ask HN: Is "systems analyst" still a distinct career?
I was just thinking about an old Simpsons joke where Martin is excited to get the “systems analyst” job for career day.

I remember hearing about that job title in school and it was always described as a really good job for technically minded people but was never really clear what they did. And now I never hear about it as a career so I’m curious what happened.

Did it evolve something else (system architect, UX)?
did it just disappear as software/tech changed?
Or is it actually thriving and I’m just in a bubble?
There are (at least) 2 definitions of memory leak.

The upsides of the definition you gave are that it's simple, well defined, and maximally precise (nothing that is safe to collect is considered live)

The significant downside to this definition is that it's uncomputable. To know if memory is used requires knowing if a loop halts.

The second definition of memory leak is "unreachability" which is a bit harder to nail down. It's a conservative approximation of the first definition, but is more popular because it's computable, and it's practical to write programs with or without GC that don't leak
Au contraire, it is very related. Every big success looked modest initially.
At current fertility rates, Europe's population is going to halve in 3 generations, and who remains is going to be quite old on average. I don't know your age, but if you're young enough this will happen within your lifetime. It's not a distant and abstract problem.

I am not accounting for immigration of course, but from the wider point of view, immigration is musical chairs. Sri Lanka is well below replacement and still falling fast. Who is going to immigrate there? Ditto for most other countries.

> translation

in addition to the other poster's comment pointing out that the charter literally calls for fighting/killing all the Jews in other passages, what _exactly_ do you think their charter means by "invalidating [Israel's existence]". In what world is that not mutually exclusive with Israel existing??

Btw- while there is much debate even among religious Jews about the line between the modern state of Israel and the Jewish religion, there is no debate that they are intimately tied at the core. There are hundreds of commendments relating to the land of Israel, e.g. agricultural laws that do not apply in America or Guam or wherever.

The most prolific commentator (Rashi) points out that the Torah begins with the creation of the world precisely because it needs to establish the Jewish connection to the land of Israel, as both are designated by God to be intertwined in legislature later on in the Torah.

Not saying anyone has to believe this, but, ultimately, one can't _really_ be anti-Zionist without being anti-Jewish, it's just an excuse for politically correct hatred in today's climate.

The religious Jewish identity cannot exist without the land of Israel (hence why it's been in Jewish prayers 3 times a day and after every meal with bread ever since the Roman exile).

Again, because people tend to misunderstand when I point this out- I am not saying the world has to believe this. I am just pointing out the intellectual dishonesty when people say anti-Zionism doesn't imply anti-Jewish. It's just not true when fleshed out fully, and, in my anecdotal experience, when someone claims they are "just" anti-Zionist, they truly do harbor deep hatred for the Jewish people too, irregardless of Israel.
Yes, and? It still is very common to find. Turns out things aren't homogeneous. People often both die forever-alone and happily married, too.

I already said it's up to the distribution. I wasn't really interested in splitting it more than I have, I hoped to avoid it... but let's go. It's been upstream over a decade

https://github.com/systemd/systemd/commits/main/units/tmp.mo...

Participation, as always, has been/remains optional. Anything using 'systemd' will likely have this be 'tmpfs', unless 'ConditionPathIsSymbolicLink' is violated.

Anything not using 'systemd' is a niche that most of the industry ignores. See how uninsightful/unhelpful these statements are?

More specifically, this leaves the one directive/condition to consider... and a subset of a subset that's relevant - systems using runit/s6/whatever.

Anyway, that's the fun thing about 'often'. It both often is and isn't. Put simply, word games.

We're both right, '/tmp' often is and isn't 'tmpfs'. It's an implementation detail. It's codified into some standards, and it turns out some distributions are more prepared/cognizant than others.

The inconsistency in applying this makes the assertion that lead to this whole thread off base.

Well written article, nice and to the point. Do recommend.

Decades ago I declared myself too stupid to use shared memory with threading; I have learned to avoid this whenever possible, or abstract away the memory access under a safe layer as soon as possible. One of the greatest decisions of my career.

Memory model semantics is one of the parts of systems programming that is generally poorly understood; I have had long discussions with senior programmers who have spent their careers carelessly threading their code without realizing what is happening under the hood. Not only did some of them not properly understand the acquire/release model, but they were not even aware of its existence.

For a more in-depth explanation, I recommend Sutter's excellent talk "Atomic <> weapons": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A8eCGOqgvH4. It is a two hour lecture, but it will be worth your time.
Thanks for extending the offer! I am a bit busy but I really appreciate all of the information. I've got plenty of new things to dig into now, I'll have to seriously set aside some time to take another look, this could seriously help me with some of my reversing projects. I'm willing to put in tons of manual effort to bridge the gap, and it feels like if I could leverage this it could act as quite a force multiplier.
The more important question is how can you be sure the data from Pakistan on obesity is sampled exactly same as the data from India and Bangladesh or vice versa.

Like a friend of mine said: "nobody ever measured my height and weight recently, so how can we trust the recent obesity data?". Granted, the discussion wasn't about obesity but about the chart on EU penis size variance between countries, but you get the point.
> I'm carnivore

This is your issue. You’re an omnivore, and it sounds like you’re overemphasizing meat. Buying primarily plant-based items will greatly cut down your grocery bill, and hopefully introduce you to some delicious new recipes on the process.

I’d recommend checking out Greek, Italian, Indian, Japanese, and Ethiopian recipes for some extraordinarily flavorful and filling vegetable-heavy meals that are relatively cheap. With Japanese, focus on buying tofu rather than meat since its cost should be generally cheaper.

This ”derivative” is not linear though, and that was sort of what motivated my question.

> Modern flash drives are at least an order of magnitude more reliable than floppy disks were.

I don't know if that is true. I have 5.25" floppies from ca.1990 that were readable as of just a couple years ago, so about 30 years.

You're saying flash drives are readable for at least 300 years? I don't know but I doubt that.

(The floppies might still be readable today, I just haven't tried. The content is now archived in a zfs pool.)

Even though I appreciate the work that must have gone into the creation of the icons, I do not like them at all and I would not consider using them, ever. Why would I look all day at black and white wire-frame icons?

Typically, the American flag flies at half-staff or at half-mast when the country or a state is in mourning. The president or a state governor (or D.C. Mayor) can order flags to fly at half-staff. In most cases, an American flag flying at half-staff marks one of three observances:
- The death of a government official, military member, or emergency first responder
- A national tragedy
- Memorial Day or another national day of remembrance

Back in 1954, President Eisenhower issued a proclamation on the display of the flag, 19 FR 1235, 3 CFR. Whether everyone follows that is another matter.

Had to look for a job during the peak of the FAANG layoffs.

After failing to even get a first round interview from countless applications, I resorted to literal door knocking to find something.

Took a 2/3s pay cut, barely able to cover my expenses.

I was laid off from that job after a year with less than a week's notice and no serverance. I was classified 1099, so no unemployment benefits.

It feels a little better now than it did a year ago.
Companies form, grow, get old, and die. Like organisms, they start out fresh. They slowly accumulate errors, parasites, inefficiency, unable to adapt to a changing market, etc.

The persistent idea that companies naturally grow into monopolies that take over the world has never actually happened.

For a recent example, Walmart was supposed to be one of those monopolies that take over the world. Yet they've been complaining to the FTC that Amazon is competing unfairly with them.
That is good to mention!

They don't care as much for the ARM stuff because software development investment vastly outweighs the chip development costs.

Sure, maybe they can do better but at what cost and for what? The only thing Apple does truly better is performance per watt which is not something that is relevant for a large part of the market.

x86 stuff is still competitive performance wise, especially in the GPU department where Apple attempts are rather weak compared to what is on offer across the pond.
The Apple Silicon switch cost a large amount of developer effort for optimisation, and in the process a lot of software compatibility was lost, it took a long time to get even the most popular softwares to get properly optimized and some software house even gave up on supporting macOS because it just wasn't worth the man hour investment considering the tiny market.

This is why I am very skeptical about the Qualcomm ARM stuff, it needs to be priced extremely well to have a chance, if consumers do not pick it up in droves, no software port is going to happen in a timely manner and it will stay irrelevant.
Considering the only thing much better than the current x86 offering is the performance per watt, I do not have a lot of hope, but I may be pleasantly surprised.

Apple aficionados keep raving about battery life but it's not really something a lot of people care about (appart for smartphones, where Apple isn't doing any better than the rest of industry).
It would be nice if Apple products were less locked down. Android is the only option if you want that sadly for the phone space

"with only 10–20% of children diagnosed before 5 years of age able to live independently as adults"

> Well this is nonsense for starters - circular logic. Doctors won't diagnose autism in most cases before the age of eight. For the diagnosis to have happened before the age of five would imply that the case is profound in the first place.
Recycling isn't nearly the issue people think it is, because the "lifetime" of a panel - 20, 30 years - is not when the panel becomes useless, but when its output has dropped 20%.
That's completely incorrect.

Autism has clear physiological differences in the brain. It's not just a personality difference. People like to call themselves autistic when it's just social awkwardness, and some doctors might even improperly diagnose them, but these are separate from the condition.

I think they meant "people who didnt die before 25." I don't know much about autism, but I had three friends who died before 30 in accidents that were almost certainly related to ADHD. Two of them were doing behavioral therapy but didn't believe in pharmaceutical treatment. One of them was generally medicated but wasn't taking their medication on the day they died (due to medication shortages for ADHD drugs).

That last one rear-ended a semi-truck at high speed. Probably after getting lost in thought after reading a "You shouldn't text and drive. If you text and drive, it may be the last text you ever read. Remember, don't read superfluous text; pay attention to the road, for your own safety and the safety of those around you." Obviously I don't know that last part; I am just bitter.
Autistic as an identity and autism as a disease are different things that are difficult to uncouple. Similarly to obesity, it's difficult to talk about the health aspect without people being sensitive about the identity aspect. I find it's useful when reading about research to empathize with the authors and realize their work is an attempt to be constructive instead of providing social commentary.

I think the problem is two-fold:

1. Third places are few and far between.

2. People have lost the will and/or ability to spontaneously socialize with strangers around them.

I don't see any realistic solution to this problem. The convenience of online "socialization" is too much for people to resist and I don't think most people understand what a poor substitute that is for actual human interaction.

I wish we as consumers had better collaboration tools for this. They always do this "testing the waters" shit where they put out news like this, and if we all just had the will power to not complain, wait until they do it, and fuck right off from buying anything from the company after they have shot themselves in the foot: there would be much better effect in really hurting them.
