An average paper from arXiv has 10 people in the world who can appreciate every detail of the text, half of them are the authors, their advisors, and paper's referee, the other half will be mentioned in the acknowledgements. This is especially true e.g. for mathematics. I want to point this out because papertalk.xyz features many texts like that.

Moderating some kind of "official" internet forum for papers will require a lot of time, and most researchers won't bother to follow it, because messages will be of low value, from crackpots and occasional ill-spirited anonymous commenters.

In 2016 arXiv run a survey about new features. Comment section, votes on submissions etc. were not popular. Many people were against this stuff, so it was not implemented.

There have been projects like PubPeer that tried to explore this territory and never really took off.

I see a value in a website like HN with links to papers of bigger interest and discussions for the general public.

E.g. someone posts a link to a new publication/preprint about cancer research, a supposed superconductor discovery, massive high energy physics experiments, etc. and users are free to discuss the meaning, beauty, impact, and credibility of the results.

But I'm not sure if this can work for mundane papers that are >99% of published research. I also think it will be much harder to market to the researchers. As someone who read, wrote, reviewed papers.
But surely the amount matters. What if it’s only 1% better?
https://journals.aps.org/rmp/abstract/10.1103/RevModPhys.95.... is one article that provides some insight. It describes the nature of viral particles exhaled in different activities, and explains how effective different masks are at preventing these particles from being inhaled.

Separately, I was surprised to see that OP's article looked at studies starting in 1978, since modern electrostatic filtering masks were only patented in 1995--so I'm not sure how meaningful it is to lump studies on older mask technologies in with modern masks.

As someone who regularly flits between Google Sheets, LibreOffice Calc, and Numbers regularly (with my most time in Google Sheets and Numbers), and as someone who's made some extremely complicated spreadsheets in all three, I have to say I vastly prefer Numbers if I can get away with it. It has a lot of issues that can make some stuff hard fast (no array formulas is a big one), but I find it significantly easier and faster to prototype in Numbers regardless.

I think the main bit I love so much about it is having actual tables instead of the Infinite Grid that most spreadsheet software uses. You get named ranges for free, and it makes semantical sense too, among a good number of other benefits (sheet organization, refactoring, simpler styling...).

There are some really nice things that Google Sheets does, and I've done a few fancy things with App Script which isn't too bad, and I do really like QUERY though I wish it was a bit higher power. I just always find myself missing the UX of Numbers, though.
Parallax mapping breaks on the edges of polygons though, while this technique seems to actually add geometry since the edges of surfaces are appropriately detailed and bumpy.
Like others here, I have used that to (in effect) limit the amount of time I would spend on assignements. If I started "just in time", then I could only spend "just in time" amount of work before turning in the thing, in whatever condition it might be.

It's easy to rationalize but in hindsight, it was far from optimal "result for the value of time" (in the sense of financial value of time or time value of money). In particular, multi-tasking from much earlier - still in hindsight - lets you (1) distribute time available in function of difficulty of the project as discovered rather than guessed. And (2) at the cost of a little more time - allows plenty more brainstorming and background thought cycles for not all that much more real time. And (3) allows several drafts for significant improvements in quality (and not much extra real time). And (3) saves massive amounts of stress which is objectively not fun - both stress from having to do a large project at once and stress from the threatening deadline.

Delaying was more a response to the work being imposed and not fun (or not the fun part of the project). It did result in less time spent for the result - but that was not the optimal time distribution.

Conveying this to current students has - as far as I can tell - always resulted in zero change. I am myself a little better at this by now. A little.
I hope they also give equity back to those who forfeited it because of this agreement

They could except for regulations. It is the same as driverless cars only much more disastrous potentially. You wouldn't want them crashing into other planes or flying into buildings.

I saw a drone demonstrated by a startup in 2005-2006 that could leave the airport in the morning and do aerial infrared photography all day and return at dusk. The FAA would never give them permission to fly and the company failed. Saw another company around 2015 show me the exact same thing except they had a chip that let them avoid aircraft and geofenced them from entering space around all airports. The FAA let them do a preliminary test which they passed but never let them have permanent permission so they ran out of capital and failed.
Do you include Idaho, Montana, Illinois, the Dakotas, Alberta and Saskatchewan in "the deep south"?
IANAL but 8th a.?
macOS does not support touch input.

It would require the biggest UI redesign in the history of the company to ensure every input control is at least a centimetre away from anything else.

And would require every Mac developer to absorb the cost for major updates to their apps as well.

This would almost certainly be an iPad.

What's your evidence that this is related to c.root-servers.net serving a stale version of the root zone?

If you can get the correct IP address for a site out of the DNS but can't reach the site, it's not a DNS problem, and not a problem with the root DNS servers. This is likely correlated only in time with the c.root-servers.net issue.

That said, your difficulty reaching indilib.org may be related to the Cogent-TATA peering dispute or one of Cogent's other peering disputes - from where I sit, a traceroute to indilib.org goes through cogent's network. But that's not what this submission is about.
Can anyone just have a job now? Or work at a company that actually does something rather than spinning out entire blog posts about their supposed amazing mission? I mean, I just slogged through this mind-numbing blog post (https://blog.railway.app/p/how-we-work-volume-iii) on "how we work," and I still don't have a bloody clue what they actually do.

Seriously, what happened to just having jobs? You know, workers and managers—simple as pie. This straightforward setup has been around since the dawn of time. But no, now we need a novel-length explanation on their work process without ever getting to the point of what they produce. They babble on with gems like, "We aspire to take the limiter off every person at this company and see where the open road takes us." Oh, really? Does the open road lead to anywhere useful, like, say, making something?

Why can't they just say, "We make biscuits. We get orders for biscuits. We have a bunch of people who make the biscuits, and we have managers to oversee them," instead of spouting, "We empower people to reach their own personal development milestones every single day" or some other such corporate drivel? I mean, who writes this stuff? Do they have a department of professional waffle writers?

And what’s with this obsession with "delivering a mission"? Are they running a company or leading a cult? I half expect them to start their meetings with a chant. Maybe throw in some motivational smoke signals for good measure. Can’t we just go back to the days when companies did things and left the philosophical babble to the self-help section?

At this rate, I’m expecting their next blog post to explain how their innovative "synergistic approach to holistic biscuit-making" is revolutionizing the snack industry. Newsflash: It’s a biscuit. Just bake it, sell it, and spare us the soul-searching soliloquies.

Mostly this. I like eating ice cream. If someone told me to eat ice cream or they would shoot me in the face, I would resent it.

I much prefer to be offered ice cream, or asked politely to have some.
Sorry to hear that. Sounds like you and I are kind of in the same boat.

My workflow is

1. Buying used and reasonably priced original music CDs

2. Ripping them with EAC[1] and an external LG BH16NS55 to FLAC format (takes 120 seconds per CD - this drive is FAST and ACCURATE)

3. Auto-import the ripped FLACs into my beets.io database via cronjob (which also unifies the metadata automatically in 99% of the cases)

4. Inplace-convert the FLACs to 192kbps mp3 via `beet convert`

5. Archiving the converted perfectly tagged FLACs to Bluray discs, as soon as the archive size hits 25GB

6. Point a self-hosted Navidrome instance and a Windows VM with iTunes to the beets folder

7. Use Substreamer App with Navidrome's smart playlists[2] and "favoriting" on my Android phone / iPhone as well as iTunes syncing my iPod Nano 7 via smart playlists

Works absolutely flawless and is less work than I expected. Since I automated everything possible, the only manual thing I need to do is the BUYING, the RIPPING and the Bluray ARCHIVING part.

Where is JK Rowling subject to censorship? Around the time her first movie was put out, I recall pastors railing against the "Satanism" in her books, but that's an exercise of speech. Since then, religious folk see her as more of an uneasy ally, as LGBT folk are now critical of her, another exercise of speech. What censorship do you refer to?

Plenty of poor kids are genuinely smart and have discipline too.

My point was, people love to imagine world where smart and discipline is mutually exclusive with "parents paying tutor" or other rich person perk. ImAnd if parents pay those, kid must be lazy or stupid.

It is not so. Even super entitled kid can be smart and work hard. If rich entitlement is just another advantage and so is tutor. Poor kids can be as smart as hardworking too, just without additional advantages.

Plsu, some people are not smart or hard working due to genetics. And damm they can be rich too.

You have a point, but that's also where you come off as indecisive. Since the question was explicitly about that that, presenting 3 options, one of which you have reasons against, when we're all busy and meeting time is constrained, is, in the abstract, a waste of everybody's time. If later on, someone comes up with objections; options A won't work because problem X, option B has issues Y and Z, then sure, bring up option C, which addresses X and Y but has other issues, for further debate, but unless that happens, that's time wasted. imo.

This does hinge on you knowing what you're talking about, and rejecting option C for unbiased reasonable logical reasons you're sure about.
One should never pipe curl output into `sudo bash`, but I think you've got things quite backwards here. Barring some extreme edge cases, putting binaries in /usr/bin, icons in /usr/share/icons, config files in /etc, libraries in /usr/lib and so on, are standard across the the Linux workd, and simple utilities that are just archives of binaries, docs, and auxiliary files can easily be deployed to most distros with a common install script.

This is far, far less complex than having to maintain and distribute an entire bundled runtime environment, deal with inconsistent behavior with the local config, etc. Flatpak and AppImage have their use cases, but by no means are they simpler than just putting binaries in the right places -- they are in fact an entire additional layer of complexity.
In 2010 I biked through a lot of Japanese countryside and saw quite a few drones (of the helicopter variety) spraying crops. They seemed human-controlled, but still, way ahead of their time.
Hah, cool. I had a similar experience with Xoom.com (the website hosting company). They sent me a job application because I had been volunteering in their forums for a while, assisting people with developing websites.

I still remember going into my parents room to tell them I'm applying for a job and they had no idea what I was talking about. I submitted the application, and the Xoom staff had a good chuckle as they had no idea I was ~14 at the time.

Sure, the root root cause is Apathy, like many other factors. But I don't think Americans are uniquely self-indulgent compared to every other first world country. Americans maybe have more food coming in (or grown domestically), but I'd be surprised if the gap (if any) was that large.

So I think finding the root cause one level up is still worthwhile.

> It doesn't help that how much money can be made is one of the main yardsticks of worthiness in this culture often superceding common sense.

This portion is interesting, but contradictory to the statistics. It's actually lower class citizens who have higher obesity rates in America. A poignant factor that suggests that the costs of certain foods may be something to investigate (I'm sure it's already well investigated. I just haven't looked it up in years).
I thought the judge handles sentencing and the jury are fact finders only deciding innocent or guilty. Is that not true for the death penalty?
Your question answers itself. "What Windows programs" is the key part.

With what level of accuracy? And what guarantee of correctness? Because a report that happens to get the joins wrong once every 1000 reports is going to lead to fun legal problems.

You still need someone who understands why you should use which approach to get the data you need without getting completely wrong numbers back that _look_ perfectly fine but reflect fantasy, not reality.

I find it hard to "control" my anger. It's a lot easier to walk away, do something else until it subsides, etc. Basically remove myself from the situation. The best thing I've done is simply to lower my stress and magically most of the anger goes away. Regular sleep, exercise, and nutrition can also greatly lower your tendency to do it. Meditation never did much for me, I've tried multitudes of time. Doing things that have me focus on one "simple" task though are wonderful to lower stress and let things percolate in my brain that are frustrating and often I come up with a solution.

Yes. ModSecurity is best used as a tool for virtual patching, meaning something you can use to create a temporary defence for a problem you know you have. That buys you some time until the problem is fixed.

When you're writing a virtual patch you know exactly what data you're dealing with and you can allow through only what's known to be good. Any other approaches (e.g., generic rules) deal with text in bulk and are prone to false positives.

Even with this narrower focus, it's still a difficult problem. Here's a paper I wrote on this subject a while ago: https://blog.qualys.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Protocol-...

Source: I am the original author of ModSecurity (but not of any of the rules packages).
I interpret it completely differently given that the voice actor does not sound like SJ.

1. OpenAI wants to make a voice assistant. 2. They hire the voice actor. 3. Someone at OpenAI wonders why they would make a voice assistant that doesn’t sound like the boss’s favorite movie. 4. They reach out to SJ who tells them to pound sand.

Accordingly, there is no misappropriation because there is no use.

What about vaccinations? I’m talking about for mumps and stuff, things we should all agree are necessary. Those are more invasive yet we accept them today as a requirement for most of society.

I just don’t understand (cause I’m autistic I think) that if you think a mask might help, but it was mandatory anyways, why you would get angry then versus if they asked politely and you did it. Is that your ego or something? I totally don’t understand, but like I said, around here it was the exception for someone to not wear a mask, and those who didn’t had good reasons and were very careful to shop when less people were around and stuff like that. We care about each other where I live.

I'm meticulous about tagging and backing up MP3s for different mixes in car stereos and other devices. One problem is that I have so many MP3s and different copies I don't know which are tagged and when they were ripped. I prefer to retain the file's modified date when I just update tags so I'll know how old the rip is - bit rates have increased a bit since last century.

I wrote a Powershell script that sets the date a minute newer when it updates ID3 V1 tags so I can compare files and know that one came from 2005 and has had metadata updated since then. I haven't found a bulk tagger that does this.
