Watching a symphony on a (maybe) 19" B&W TV as a probably grainy NTSC broadcast and listened to through a small tinny speaker... well, let's just say we're not talking the Met Live in HD on a home theater system. I know the person being interviewed here has other points to make. But it's probably also the case that classical symphonic and chamber music particularly probably translates less well to broadcast/"film" than other forms of art which are generally more dependent on the presentation than just the music itself.

I'm from New Zealand, I don't need to look that far.

We have far too many plonkers who like to claim that "Without colonisation, Māori would still be stone age cannibals" which ignores literally all of the recorded history of Māori interactions with Europeans.

(When Captain Cook turned up to "discover" New Zealand, he was surprised that the Māori he met wanted to trade food / cloth / pounamu for iron, especially nails, they were great for bird trapping and fishing hooks.)

Brooks finished his keynote by presenting what he called “My Three Laws of Artificial Intelligence”:

1. When an AI system performs a task, human observers immediately estimate its general competence in areas that seem related. Usually that estimate is wildly overinflated.

2. Most successful AI deployments have a human somewhere in the loop (perhaps the person they are helping) and their intelligence smooths the edges.

3. Without carefully boxing in how an AI system is deployed there is always a long tail of special cases that take decades to discover and fix.

Static addresses in your carrier assigned public range are actually very similar to static ULA in terms of what happens with multiple carriers. The same is even somewhat true for moving carriers unless you specifically want to talk to that exact /64 again. That said I'd still recommend cleaning them up in such an event as the main advantage of utilizing the public addresses is things like your DNS servers can be exposed to the internet without the need of NAT. To me that's a lot more the "right solution" than making trade offs for fear of re-iping your devices for the times in your life you change carriers.

Multiple carriers has no (consumer level) solution I've found myself happy with. It's anywhere from "hope all your devices handle multiple public prefixes quickly and without errors" to "NAT and deal with the pain you had from v4 again" to "Use some other way to relay or host your static services which need to be externally accessible" to "go back to dealing with trying to automatically update that DNS server entry on and making sure it always stays consistent"

My group used to teach Computer Networks at a university ([1] gives a fair overview of the scope if you know Croatian or use a bit of Google Translate). We used CORE and PHP built-in web server [2] for the basic course.

Good point. It is better to point out that the last time China descended into chaos was in the 1960s (Cultural Revolution and Great Leap Forward).

In comparison, the last time society was dangerously chaotic for the average American was 1865, and the chaos was less widespread (or at least it was more predictable where the chaos would erupt).

For the average Englishman, unless I am missing something, the last time was 1646 (end of the English Civil War) unless perhaps the Englishman lived on the border with Scotland (and again any informed observer would be able to predict that that was where any chaos would erupt).

I find it tiresome that I have given you 2 examples of established propaganda, there really is no debate as to whether or not these are considered propaganda, that do not fit your definition and you continue to ignore those.

Yes propaganda tends to be negative, but my point (again with examples to back up my point) is that it does not have to be.

You claim others do not see it that way, but that is obviously not true. Or we would not consider Rosy the Riveter as propaganda. It does not fit your definition.

Ignoring that there are examples of propaganda does not make your definition correct.

The reality is these words are murky, what is the line between advertising and propaganda. and similar comparisons.

But I will die on this hill and it is well established by this point, propaganda does not have to be negative.

Unless you are going to acknowledge rosy the riveter and either explain how that is not propaganda (which for the record you would be in the minority with that opinion) or explain how it was negative or misleading I see no point in continuing this conversation.

> Or did they followed some method that is today lost, possibly based on the position of a start or a constellation, resulting in an alignment on the Mercator projection?

I would not say that the method is today lost; while not aligned on a geodesic, the cathedrals are aligned on a spiral starting at the North Pole and ending at the South Pole which always travels at a constant bearing. It’s totally possible to recreate a line like this with a compass by walking such that the compass has a constant reading. Doing so over the Mediterranean, multiple mountain ranges, and bits of the Atlantic would be a bit difficult, though.
Tax cuts for parents. When 50-60% of what I make goes to the state, which provides "universal"(ie. subpar) services, 20-30% of the rest goes to a landlord because home ownership is no longer afforable, it's pretty hard to have more than 1 child.
And then there is the 'slanted' conversion where you refinance from a fixed mortgage to a variable mortgage. Or vice versa.

In all cases it depends on your situation. How many years are left on the loan. Have your disposable income changed such that you can pay off more in which do you want to change the loean from a 30 year loan to 10 year loean instead.

It takes some serious thinking.

Indeed, and the assertion made was based on opinion or feeling. There is no objectivity in the assertion.

While I must share in your opinion, this again is not measured objectively. You just got finished defining the word... It is quite likely that at least someone at Adobe enjoyed it being a single closed-source implementation for a long, long time. "Terrible" is always an opinion.

Another thing that would be interesting is to look at the effect of non-uniformly distributed birthdays. For example, the day that's nine months after valentine's day or christmas might (?) have a slightly higher number of births than an average day. Then you could look at what kind of an effect this would have on the probability of a common birthday as a function of group size.

In the last ~10 years, renting has skyrocketed, due to the discovery of the spanish renting market by international money, and renting laws relaxation (demand side). Meanwhile, this has not increased the supply of homes, as it is felt that there is oversupply, the demand is very concentrated on selected cities, and the turnaround of building to rent or sell is long. This double-whammy has made renting quite onerous, and buying directly out of reach, for a lot of people.

Some extra tidbits:

- Buying: Upwards of 40% of home purchase is without mortgage (not a pattern of someone buying for the first time)

- Renting: In Madrid, on average 62% of salary before taxes goes to renting; 58% in Barcelona (https://www.fotocasa.es/fotocasa-life/alquiler/los-espanoles...) (how is that even feasible? well, young people end up just renting a room)

One Christmas homily, the priest told a story about how the candy cane was invented by persecuted Christians as a symbol for each other. The cane looked like a shepherd's staff, red for Jesus' blood, etc. If you look into the actual history of the candy cane though, none of this is true.

What I'm saying is that it didn't matter what the architect did. Someone, well after the fact, would have found a tenuous connection between their work and the Bible and claimed they were divinely inspired.
This whole thread is fun to think about, but misses something.

War is largely about fear / intimidation. Yes, an RTS-like "destroy the assets" is how it's abstracted, but ultimately it's about intimidating a leader and population into submission. Keeping the attackers away from cities is very much part of that calculus, as is dropping long-range attacks on those cities.

If both sides have robots that take months to manufacture, the goal would still be the same: "Keep their robots away" and visa-versa "Get into their population centers and seize power symbols". At this stage, with established defenders, the goal seems to be "seize ground yard by yard"

And "outproduce them" aka "grind down their will" is still going to be a viable strategy.

I think you have to actually try out a modality or two before landing on the therapy that works best for you. Somatic trauma work was truly incredible for me because I was so locked in my mind - but it’s less evidence-based than say CBT which is proven to work for all sorts of mental health.

I'm sure part of it is just "conventional wisdom" at this point.

I agree that you likely could design and implement an effective garbage collection-based memory allocator for game (engine) use cases.
I am certain many successful titles have shipped with something you could call garbage collection.

In my experience, the expected friction / hatred stems from the idea of a (language-level) GC that you as the developer have little to no control over. i.e. it's not about a direct performance cost/penalty so much as 1: a limiting factor or overhead (e.g. if you don't know which frame the penalty occurs you need to reserve time for it in every frame) and 2: the cost of dealing with yet another layer of main loop system synchronisation issues.

The point about value types is relevant, but probably not strictly a GC issue, as you say. Fast value types are absolutely crucial to high performance game (engine) code. Value types to a game developer are stack-allocated. Going to the heap is completely out of the question. Here, "fast" means performance comparable to the basic numeric types.

The cases I know of are usurpation, not trespassing.

Oh sure, I'm not saying the number of lawsuits are wrong, I'm saying something different:

• The lawsuits, by their nature, represent a lower bound of the number of okupations, since one would assume that there's many cases where there's an okupa but the owner doesn't go the legal way. One can hardly assume the opposite since that's a lost lawsuit for sure. So the number of lawsuits is the lower bound for the number of okupas, and NOT a representation. I do not know nor claim to know where the upper bound or actual number of okupas is, but equating lawsuits with occurences is a weak correlation at best.

• There's clearly a big one-sided abuse of the system, which affects both homeowners AND honest renters.

• I'd also agree to add punitive measures to banks or companies that hoard a large number of houses for especulation. This is slightly difficult to arrange legally without also punishing someone who buys a second house, but I'm sure possible and I believe both sides of the aisle would benefit from some regulation like this.

> And I am climbing out of the rabbit hole that is Postgres' CLUSTER keyword :) Really funky, looks like it's a one-time operation that isn't persisted?

Correct. If you're in a situation that needs it, you'll need to run it at some interval. I have it running once a week on one of our databases.

Also, postgres uses this to solve a problem that clustered indexes on other databases don't solve - a clustered index isn't necessarily on an index you care about for querying. It still has to go back to the table data to get fields not in that index, which could have a random-access performance penalty if you're getting a lot of rows. Postgres's CLUSTER changes the order of the table data to match an index, which allows a sequential read on the disk, avoiding that performance penalty.

This is one of the situations where people complain the postgres query planner is doing the wrong thing and they want hints to tell it to use the index, but the query planner is actually protecting them from a huge random-disk-access performance penalty they don't realize they'd hit if they did that. The right thing to do is either use CLUSTER or, if they're on an SSD or the data can all fit in memory, change the random-access-penalty config value so the query planner no longer takes this into account.

At home I have used Linux (Slackware) for decades. At work, about 20 years ago we were allowed to dump windows and use Linux (RHEL) on our Work Laptop. I switched as soon as I could. About 10 years ago, MACs were allowed.

If you are a developer, you should be on Linux or a BSD. It is almost as if Microsoft is trying to kill of Windows.

Maybe Finance people have a reason to use Windows, but, the Finance people I work with all when full in on MACs. So, really, people should be off of Windows at this point.
