It actually depends how this sentence is intended. There exist quantum repetition codes: the Shor code is the simplest example that uses 9 physical qubits per logical qubit. Since the information is quantum it needs majority voting over two independent bases (hence 3x3=9 qubits to encode a logical one).
Very interesting, I studied telecommunications and I thought the Shannon limit was the absolute limit. I wonder now if this Gordon Holevo limit is applicable for "traditional" telecommunications (like 5G) as opposed to photon counting a deep space probe

I've settled with this one because it's really fast and preloads images, which makes looking through thousands of time-lapse photos a doable task, just holding the arrow key.I'd like a bit more editing capabilities but I understand it might be out of scope for a minimal image viewer.
It doesn't but it accumulates cruft and since then new libraries emerge which you might be able to reuse instead of writing your own thing. Just as an example: Boost first appeared in 1999 so very likely at least early on no one used it.
Feel free to jump in with your corrections or suggestions for more appropriate phrasing then instead of sniping at my terminology. I'm done.
Very well said. It feels like we have all this amazing tech that could open the door to so many creative possibilities but no one is interested in exploring it.

Before, we had so little but it was all available to utilize to the fullest extent. Now we live in a world of excess but it’s almost a walled garden.
It probably depends on a country or a doctor. Here in Czechia I never got prescription for antibiotics without both doctor and pharmacist advising me to also take probiotics.
At my previous job a colleague at one point had the use case of highly detailed scans of cell tissue where he'd like to be able to both zoom out to see the structure the entire tissue, but also be able to zoom in down to individual cells. The pngs were gigabytes in size and he was a bit worried about the idea of using lossy jpgs since they might have messed up the tiny cell blotches.

We first tried to find some sort of map-library based solution that converted the images into a set of tiles, but eventually I found Viewnior which somehow seemed to be able to handle the pngs relatively well compared to any of the other image viewers we tried at the time (which all would choke on the giant sized images)

https://github.com/hellosiyan/Viewnior

I know that that's a very niche use case, and I have no idea how Qimgv compares ("fast" is not the same as "scales well with really large images"), but I thought I'd share in case anyone else has had to deal with this problem.
> you handle things that need to be handled. For example: your user might input valid UTF-8 text as a filename for saving. But not all filesystems allow all UTF-8 characters in filenames.

Wait... isn't the usual problem that some filesystems allow invalid UTF sequences, rather than disallowing some valid ones? Or are you talking about ASCII characters like asterisks and colons? Also, don't all the idiosyncrasies differ per-filesystem, which... you won't even know until run time? How is converting to a different data type handling the things that need to be handled, when you have no idea what filesystem that data will be used for?
The metabolic system is like a ecosystem, where every intervention has a fairly large spectrum of unknowns. Probiotics can do harm, just like antibiotics, or it may do nothing, or it may improve health or reduce symptoms. Generally it doesn't have long term negative effect so it fairly safe, but I can see how doctors would be careful throwing in additional unknowns, especially initially when testing if the antibiotics themselves has the intended effect without major side effects.

We live in symbiosis with the gut flora, and the tools we have to fix problems are crude and based on trial and error.
While arbitrary, I usually set email fields to at least 100 characters (n?varchar) in databases.
Sure, I'll acknowledge that I might have made a bit of a sweeping statement.

I'm not an artist or anything, and while I have made some relatively complex models with Bowler Studio (probably the coolest being a functioning toy elevator for some action figures that I was able to test out digitally before building it IRL, which required a stepper motor and a Z-screw stolen from a broken 3d printer), I'll acknowledge that I am a software engineer first and so of course I stare at plain text multiple hours every day, and that of course defines how I think about problems.

I do think that there are aspects of code-based CAD that do meet some standard of objectivity of being "better", or at least more versatile. I think being able to easily define loops and variables is a feature that is remarkably useful and allows for a lot of flexibility that I haven't really seen in any GUI program.

Also, OpenSCAD renders a 3d image on every file save. You can even have OpenSCAD open and edit in a separate text editor and it still works. Is that not enough graphical feedback?

This should be retitled as "I'm getting annoyed with the Microsoft/Windows UI."

Two of the three complaints are about Windows specifically (resizing windows and lack of application titlebar info). The 3rd appears to be an issue the author has with the theme they have applied in VSCode, which doesn't seem to match the theme shown on the VSCode homepage, which clearly shows which tab is active.

There's no look at macro trends nor software outside of the MS ecosystem.
> talk to your boss if you have a concern

This is one of those pieces of advice that is spoken but has a huge unspoken part, mainly - if talking to the boss makes them look bad or causes problems for them more than not talking would then you stay silent.
You are. When there's an active pandemic killing thousands (would become a million, just in this (outlier bad at responding to it) country), "science" doesn't require having a peer-reviewed ten-year old study that has been published in Nature and survived challenges.

In such circumstances, just being familiar with the latest related science, and the fundamental concept of science, qualifies you to take your best (informed) guess. Making kids wear masks made sense in absence of data that showed it wasn't effective, because it's been so effective with other, similarly airborne-transmissible diseases.

> The “6 feet apart” social distancing recommendation forced on Americans by federal health officials was arbitrary and not based on science.

Again, "we could wait to conduct studies whether 4 feet is good enough, or 9 feet is required; or we could take our best shot since thousands of people are dying each day", and base our decisions on scientific data previously collected, in extremely similar pandemic/transmissible-disease contexts, even if it might imperfectly match the present scenario.
> it's so plainly obvious that code-based CAD is a better idea to me that it sort of bothers me that it's not the default.

I'm a software developer, but I'm also a 3D print designer and a woodworker. OpenSCAD is really unfriendly once you want to get past "I have a box and the box needs to connect to another box"; cadquery and especially build123d are more promising for sure, but the environment and the affordances are clumsy compared to "draw a sketch with a mouse and extrude a thing" in Fusion. Maybe if my alternative was FreeCAD (thankfully it's not) code-based CAD would feel like a better alternative, but it's not, and like--if I have to contort myself to make a fillet work, I would simply not bother. And if I have to sit there, squint, and change a variable and wait for a recompute, rather than dragging the thing to where I want it, I'm also probably not gonna bother with that, either. I tried; it doesn't work for me, and sweeping universal statements about this stuff are Pretty Weird.

On the other hand, having access to a kernel like Fusion's, plus their Python scripting environment, is pretty nice for me, and I enjoy building tools to manipulate that. But those tools don't take center stage; the visuals and the chain of features do that.

> So in this made up scenario, a parent is stealing their 30 year old child's phone and installing tracking software on it?

If a parent did so for a 15-year old kid who got themselves a new phone, I would assume that a parent is likely to do it again when the child is at 18, and beyond.

> Where are you even getting these ideas? You keep repeating them, what even made you think this stuff in the first place?

People’s opinions and habits change slowly, if at all. This is especially noticeable in parent’s opinions of their kids; parents frequently treat their children as if they were underage, regardless of the children’s actual age. It’s a habit the parents fell into, and is hard to break, and most parents have neither the motivation nor the insight to do so.

This parental behavior is observable to most people. I used this information to deduce that parents who already track their kid’s location when the kid is underage would still do so, by mere force of habit and unchanging attitude, at 18 and beyond.

> Here's some actual evidence. Most people replace their phone every 3.5 years on average.

All right, in that case the parents who are habitually tracking the location of their children will probably only track their kids up to the age of about 20, when the child statistically has gotten a new phone without the parent’s access. This will make the tracking stop naturally in any case, whatever the parent’s wishes are.

My thinking was mostly about the attitude of the parents. I.e. whether the parents would wish and try to keep tracking the location of their children, given that the parents did keep track of their kids’ location when they were under 18. Your data, however, shows that tracking becomes infeasible as soon as the child acquires a new phone without the parent’s access, and therefore the wishes of the parent becomes moot.

I remain unmoved on my point about the attitude, wishes and inclinations of parents, but since your data has made those moot in most practical cases, the issue becomes uninteresting. I think we can therefore wrap up this discussion.

> you started making outrageous claims that you can't back up.

> in this made up scenario

> you don't have any evidence at all, hard, or soft. You can't even explain how it would happen.

> Now the backpeddling finally begins because you keep replying without evidence.

Your attitude is frankly terrible and can I see from your comment history that this has been a recurring problem for you. I would prefer it if you would refrain from commenting further on this forum until you have at least learned to restrain yourself.
I Retired from the Tech Crusades
The general idea, that we suffer from a kind of information glut, is true. And by glut, I don't even mean the ubiquity of bad information. I mean specifically and especially the bad habit of consuming it inordinately.

The desire to know is an appetite, like the desire for food, sex, etc. And like any appetite, it must be moderated, ordered, and tempered by restraint and reason, which is to say the good. Otherwise, it becomes a vice, a bad and destructive thing. It doesn't lead to wisdom and understanding. It doesn't contribute to your station in life or your life's ultimate end. It can become the basis for arrogance, and pride may be the motive.

The ancients and medievals used to call this unrestrained appetite for knowledge the vice of curiosity, which they opposed to the virtue of studiousness. It is an idle or vain interest in things.

> All I can say that while you are theoretically probably right, all of this ends up not being a problem in practice.

I experienced every issue I mentioned first-hand, in practice.

I suppose it's possible I was uniquely naive in attempting to get engineering quality prints out of a consumer resin printer? It seems there's a good reason every resin 3D printer promotes itself with pictures of figurines rather than anything more demanding.

My experience was that getting good results when printing something like a plastic bottle cap wasn't just a matter of dialing in the exposure - I had to dial in the exposure, the room temperature, the conditioning of the resin, the support placement, the orientation, and design the item geometry with printing in mind. Even then the results were adequate rather than impressive.
The overwhelming loss in this calculation is from the antenna’s radiated energy spreading out over a larger and larger area (despite the directional “gain” factor).

I’m wondering: would a probe launched today instead employ a laser to communicate? This would seem to offer many orders of magnitude improvement in the directionality of the signal.

This is an excellent resource! NASA really does an outstanding job of public relations and outreach. If you ever get the chance, the Houston Space Center is worth a visit.

> trust American public schools, which are actually very competitive with the best in the world

Patent nonsense. Absolute rubbish. There are kids in mud huts in India, right outside the lower middle class home I grew up in, with no proper electricity or water supply, who would outcompete the American public school kid in every STEM metric. Kids over here pass shoddy 5-pointer AP calc exams and don't even know basic trig.They have to take remedial calc as freshmen. I know, I taught them as a TA. Best in the world ?!
It's because unintended measurement is a type of error in a quantum computer. Like, if an electron passing near your qubit would get pushed left if your qubit was 0 and right if was 1, then you will see errors when electrons pass by. Repeating the 0 or 1 a thousand times just means there's 1000x more places that electrons passing by would cause a problem. That kind of redundancy makes that kind of error mechanism worse instead of better.

There are ways of repeating quantum information that protect against accidental measurement errors. For example, if your logical 0 is |000> + |110> + |011> + |101> and your logical 1 is |111> + |001> + |100> + |010> then can recover from one accidental measurement. And there are more complex states that protect against both bitflip errors and accidental measurements simultaneously. They're just more complicated to describe (and implement!) than "use 0000000 instead of 0 and 1111111 instead of 1".

Red states are more rural which slowed spread initially, but overall you see a higher death monthly rates in Red states after the first wave ~July 2020 not just after vaccination became available.

It’s not just state policies. The first wave in 2020 hit most densely populated and thus Blue counties hardest, but the second wave in 2020 and every wave after that hit the least populated and most Republican areas hardest.

Not sure to what extend the “demand” for big cars is really a function of “supply”. Go looking for a new compact car and you might have to settle for a used one. When somebody sells one back to the dealer they will turn it around in two days. Meantime there are 200 XXXL trucks sitting unsold that nobody bought.

Form the viewpoint of the car dealer, manufacturer and even the UAW, it is a disaster if you spend $30,000 on a vehicle when you could have spent $60,000. Walk in looking for a an S size vehicle they will try to get you in an L, look for an M and they will try to get you into an XL, etc.
It seems like this is starting to get better here in the midwest US. I think the last 3/4 times I've been prescribed antibiotics (different doctors, different states) I was given a speech and take home sheet about needing to take probiotics with them. The 4th just gave the sheet and skipped most all the talking in general. No prescription for it on any count but that's no different than being told to take any standard dosage of an OTC (in lieu of making you feel better about going if nothing else was prescribed already that visit).

I think it also depends on the antibiotic how much you get recommended a probiotic. There was one I was given for a stubborn tooth infection and the endodontist was militantly clear that I needed to take a probiotic and spent about 5 minutes going over the signs of cdiff as it was a common result and can be so problematic. Still ended up getting cdiff anyways but at least I knew what to expect :).

Obviously not talking about standard PTO/vacation.

Where I live you must inform your employer unless you are lucky enough to have enough PTO/va. to spend your PTO/vacation in prison and hide it from your employer. But even then I don't think that will work out because there are administrative stuff related to social welfare you have to comply to and at some point it will be on your employer's radar anyway (why is that guy exempt from social welfare taxes for that specific month ? and why did the police asked me to confirm he was working here ? etc.).

BUT in practice, until recently, if imprisonment is less than 3 years then you won't spend a day in prison (unless you are deemed too dangerous). But then you have an electronic bracelet and other obligations that will at some point alert your employer.

I read now that prison time of any length will have to be spent in prison (no more less than 3 years or 2 years or 18 months pass). But for prison time less than 18 months you can have a bracelet on the first day.

All that to say I don't think it's manageable and possible to hide prison time from your employer, even if you have enough PTO/vac. days to cover for it.
