>Dating someone with children does, in fact, imply that responsibility, because they children aren't involved in the decision of you dating their parent, yet are immediately affected by it.

really depends on too many factors to make a judgement call. Are they living together? Are the kids still in contact with their previous father? Have they discussed the kids to begin with and established barriers? is the relationship purely physical or are there emotional stakes?

It's a complex topic, and I wouldn't distill it down to "you inherit all the duties of your date".

>Think about this for a moment, it isn't hyperbole.

Situations in which this is justified:

- the mother hides the kids from you

- you establish barriers from the beginning and agree... until you don't

- You think you can handle the kids and it turns out you can't. Be it financially, emotionally, or otherwise. People can change their minds

- No matter your attempts, the kids simply never warm up to you. As you said, they are involved and a kids' opinion on a potential father will impact what may otherwise be a compatible couple.

The mother isn't necessarily a perfect actor. The kids certainly aren't. And you probably don't know your limits until you get some field training. I think a lot of your arguments hinge on this assumption that the default these days is a deep connection instead of casual dating with messy communication, and that the kids will fall in love with the potential father 100% of the time if the mother does.

> Dating someone with children has far more implications than sleeping around in your twenties

Ehh. There have been broken up relationships that were non-eventual for a child, and messy 20's relationships that haunt you and your partner for decades to come. Again, the situation is too complex to distill into "one is better/worse than the other".
Reading this, I can't help but think that you probably spend more time on and care more about your appearance than random person. I hope the equation works out for you.

That being said, appearance is a disguise we choose -- wittingly or unwittingly -- and I think that's just fine.

My first contact with entropy was in chemistry and thermodynamics and I didn't get it. Actually I didn't get anything from engineering thermodynamics books such as Çengel and so.

You must go to statistical mechanics or information theory to understand entropy. Or trying these PRICELESS NOTES from Prof. Suo: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1UMwpoDRZLlawWlL2Dz6YEomy...

That's why you do a filesystem snapshot before the backup, something supported by all systems. The snapshot is constant to the backup tool, and read order or subsequent writes don't matter.

The main difference is that Windows and MacOS have a mechanism that communicates with applications that a snapshot is about to be taken, allowing the applications (such as databases) to build a more "consistent" version of their files.

In theory, of course, database files should always be in a logically consistent state (what if power goes out?).

I’m Danish so this might not apply to an American context, or even a non-Danish context. I’ve been on the hiring side of things a few times, and I’ve worked in a lot of different organisations, and what I personally look for these days is companies which let you interview them as much as they interview you. This shows that they are looking for someone to be the right fit and that they know this process goes two ways.

I had an offer recently where it was online, it had gone through one of those ridiculous LinkedIn recruiters and it had been completely “missold” (not sure what the English word for misleading a “sale” is) to me. I figured this out after about 5 minutes of me asking them questions about their place and the work they wanted me to do, at which point I flat out said something along the lines of “I think I’m the wrong fit” to which they agreed, but they wanted to offer me another type of job in architecture and management. I didn’t want that, but the process of them being very open to me interviewing them helped us both out immensely in not picking each other.

It’s obviously only something you can really engage in if you don’t “need-need” a job.
Airlines sure seem to like their fragile ancient shitty software.

Other sectors roll like that too eg bank but they at least make it work somehow. Airlines seem to regularly deviate from the happy path.

The entire sector needs a tech overhaul. And better integration too. Stuff like ATC asking how many people and fuel you’ve got in emergencies…why isn’t that info streamed live?
I agree it's much more scalable to have a vendor install a spyware on all your workstations and have a centralized data breach.

I don't think there is a way to implement this without said permission. You can always check out the code from GitHub and install the extension locally to avoid any malicious changes in the future.
I think a self diagnosed mental disorder that is treated as anything but private, which every impressionable child is made aware of during their developing years in public education, using insidious language and cultish tactics, providing gendered (ie social) care in the form of real sexual surgical solutions that are permanently damaging, concerns me greatly not only as a parent but as a human being.
That's before we even get into my own history of gender dysphoria which would have been wildly different had I been born 10 years later.
I think, a little ironically ofc, opening yourself up like that ends up capping how personal you can (are willing to) get. Not always a bad thing, but I believe the modern internet is missing a lot of soul that comes from being vulnerable. Lord knows social media personalities and corporate brands will never do it.

The thing that's problematic is rendering Mermaid SVGs outside of a browser environment - i.e. what static site generators need in order to generate JS-free HTML docs from Markdown content.

If you're looking at a rendered Mermaid diagram on your screen, you probably already have the SVG in your browser's dom. You can just right click -> view source -> find element -> view as html -> save that to a file. I expect this is how the SVG export on the Mermaid live editor[0] works.

(the Mermaid live editor is great, it's where I tend to go if I want an SVG export)

No way!

No amount of extra characters was going to address what Unicode did.

ASCII was not a mistake at all. Adopting it unified what was surely going to be a real mess.

At the time it made sense, and the control functions were needed. Still are.
If "laundering" IP is made illegal, then we're all in for a huge surprise. Almost everything we say and do has been said and done before.

Agreed, I find it amazing it's even called a "cure", as if baldness is an illness.

Sure, it can cause psychological issues, but so can short height or big nose or what-have-you, and we don't talk about "curing" those (except in some hormonal imbalance cases).

While DEL didn't stamp a black square on typewriters, it sometimes did so (or something similar, like diagonal stripes) in various digital character sets. ISO 2047[0] established the graphical representations for the control characters of the 7-bit coded character set in 1975, maily for debugging reasons. This graphical representation for DEL was used by Apple IIGS, TRS-80 and even Amiga!

Yep, take a look at the side effects. There are a lot related to chest pain, and believe me when I say I got all of them. A few minutes after I put even a single drop on my scalp it was doubled over clutching my chest. It was the Kirkland signature 5%. I stopped taking it after a few months (I really wanted it to work) and even after I kept getting chest pain episodes until about a year later.

One of the things considered in the paper is that the reaction may be temporary and is triggered by the research itself:

Assuming the ‘geo-battery’ is partly responsible for the DOP observed, the initial high DOP rate may have been related to the

> they're worried that muscle tone will make them look masculine

Yes, this is a common concern. It would be good to show women what it looks like to workout hard six days a week for more than one year. (My point: That is an unrealistic weight lifting schedule for 99% of women.) They still won't look very masculine. Very well toned, but not very masculine. My advice when women raise this concern: "If you get too big, just ease off. Maintaining is way easier than growing."
So what happened with the linux bug? Presumably people fixed the OS side problem straight away?
To be fair. Pulseaudio in early days exposed tons of audio driver bugs that were since then fixed. Bluetooth audio was barely working back then. Now bluetooth works so well that it makes other operating systems look bad.

Adding on to this:

If Bitcoin scalability is the problem Lightning Solves, then it almost tautologically fails when you realize that entering into a Lightning Channel requires a base Bitcoin transaction. If every person on Earth tried to take on-chain Bitcoin into a LN Channel, it would skyrocket the fee-rate.

The only other option then would be for all Bitcoin purchased to exist on Lightning, so people simply buy LN Bitcoin. This is not impractical to get started; exchanges simply send and receive LN BTC. But Lightning security relies on the ability to get a transaction posted to the base layer Bitcoin.

If everyone is using lightning, and thousands of users are attacked on Lightning at once, the chain would not be able to handle the influx and would leave many victims. Not only that, but the LN node network would naturally centralize, especially with liquidity requirements.

It would be much better to properly scale some base layer.
The original Intentional Programming in the mid-nineties was a much broader vision than Language Workbenches, more like a grand unified theory of software development and related tools such as IDEs, languages, compilers, and a marketplace of components in that space.

My understanding, from the demos they were giving around 15 years ago, is that the Intentional company ended up focusing on a smaller feature set similar to MPS (I don’t have personal development experience with the Intentional product, only MPS).

It would be interesting to learn more about their work and lessons learned.
Are you talking about Xeon Scalable? Although they share the same core design as the desktop counterpart (Xeon Scalable 4th Gen shares the same Golden Cove as 12th Gen, Xeon Scalable 5th Gen shares the same Raptor Cove as 13th/14th Gen), they're very different from the desktop counterpart (monolithic vs tile/EMIB-based, ring bus vs mesh, power gate vs FIVR), and often running in a more conservative configuration (lower max clock, more conservative V/F curves, etc.). There has been a rumor about Xeon Scalable 5th Gen having the same issue, but it's more of a gossip rather than a data point.

The issue does happen with desktop chips that are being used in a server context when pairing with workstation chipset such as W680. However, there haven't been any reports of Xeon E-2400/E-3400 (which is essentially a desktop chip repurposed as a server) with C266 having these issues, though it may be because there hasn't been a large deployment of these chips on the server just yet (or even if there are, it's still too early to tell).

Do note that even without this particular issue, Xeon Scalable 4th Gen (Sapphire Rapids) is not a good chip (speaking from experience, I'm running w-3495x). It has plenty of issues such as slow clock ramp, high latency, high idle power draw, and the list goes on. While Xeon Scalable 5th Gen (Emerald Rapids) seems to have fixed most of these issues, Zen 4 EPYC is still a much better choice.

Do we really need academic studies on this topic? When Republicans cut taxes on the rich, it is not like they are making sure they have academic consensus on their side.

We know welfare works. It is pretty simple. People need to eat, they need shelter, and a few other basic necessities. When they fall on hard times, not having those things can make it infinitely harder to get back on their feet.

Our current welfare system is a bit of a bureaucratic nightmare and has a stigma attached to it. The nice thing about UBI is it is universal, and simple. The second your income goes below a threshold, you start getting a little bit of money. The second it goes above, you stop. No fuss, no stigma. They are going to need that money to survive anyway, so might as well just give it to them rather than forcing them to suffer the indignities of poverty.

Public policy is a messy business. But I find it odd that this topic is so controversial as it only took me a few minutes of ruminating on it before realizing how good of an idea it is. Maybe it is because I have had a brief encounter with poverty myself, and ever since my anxieties around finances, access to healthcare, etc.. run deep. Or maybe I just realize that a ton of people were born into poverty and due to no fault of their own are now stuck in it. Money might not grow on trees, but it quite literally exists as 1's and 0's in some database. The fact that we could just flip a few bits and instantly make the lives of so many people better, boggles my mind why we wouldn't try that.
You're ignoring the prime reason humans aren't going to travel to Mars anytime soon: radiation. Good luck getting there without accumulating a huge dose of hard radiation that gives you cancer. This is why we should be worrying about building human settlements on the Moon first: we can put them underground (for radiation shielding, plus other benefits like avoiding meteorites), and the travel time is so short that the cumulative radiation exposure is very low. 3 days of exposure to cosmic rays is very low compared to a year or so, or at best 6 months.

Once we have manufacturing capability on the Moon, we can build much larger ships that have some decent radiation shielding.

Of course, the low gravity causes a bunch more problems. But here again, with significant space- and Moon-based industry, we could build much larger ships with spin gravity. This doesn't help the people working on the Moon though, but at least here we could cycle them on and off the Moon every 6 months or so, since the trip is only 3 days, so they could come back to Earth and re-acclimate to 1g periodically.

Yes, I am aware.

I started out designing Forth interpreters, actually calculators and template engines, but Forth was a natural progression.

My design differs a lot from idiomatic Lisp implementations (likewise Forth), and I do sometimes wonder what it would look like if you started in that end and worked your way towards supporting all the features of sharpl.

I still think cars need to be controlled through hardware knobs. At least all the normal car functions.

GPS and AndroidAuto/Apple CarPlay interaction should be the one exception, but even here you need a volume knob at least, so that if the volume is suddenly too high you can react with muscle memory.

Because surprisingly high volume can distract you enough to crash.

I'm sure the windows audio stack is many times more complex, and it's pretty opaque.

OEMs also love to include all kinds of audio related bloatware, which makes getting audio hardware to work reliably(!) quite challenging. The HP laptop I'm typing this on has an "Intel microphone array" (just 2 mics) which has it's own intel drivers, but there's also some HP control panel, realtek and 'sound research' branded stuff, Fortemedia SAMsoft effects(?), Intel smart sound...

If I'm recording seriously, I usually just go to the device manager (devmgmt.msc) and disable as much as I can and enable devices in a trial-and-error way to see what the minimum is to get audio to work again. Otherwise, all kinds of 'enhancements' end up in the audio path.
This is why I use a static site generator. No security fix is ever urgent. No risk of needing to make a bunch of changes in case I need to move host, and they have a slightly different version of PHP. The thing never "fails to start" after a reboot. No database that can cause problems. It's just files. Anything can host just files.

My first site actually started as what we'd now call a static site generator back in the 1990s. Then PHP a few years later, then Python built on webpy.org (including an admin interface), and now back to a static site generator.

Most of my friends are computer people, and know and occasionally read my blog. My non computer friends could not care less.
What is so special about grip strength? I never heard anything about this before your post.
I would assume that to be true as well. As someone who had only one parent available, this is an annoyingly trite opinion. Of course socioeconomic effects contribute as well, this is again trivial.
It really depends on the person. And people change too!

I’ve seen scenarios where someone will refuse to collaborate tightly (eg: pair programming), but also be surprisingly slow at getting around the tools and getting code out the door. Or they rabbit hole on something that ends up being a waste of time.

I’ve also seen scenarios where someone who is highly proficient just needs context to do a fantastic job - for example, a designer pairing with a front end engineer to iterate on some UI changes in an hour.

I’ve also seen scenarios where people expect a huge amount of direction and task definition upfront, and refuse to work in ambiguous circumstances. And the opposite.

And finally I’ve seen scenarios where you think you’re about to sit down with someone to work together on something, and you realise your time is better spent understanding the issues they’re facing in their life, and their concerns, and dignifying them before considering the task at hand.

If you suspect that siloing is preventing you or your team from accomplishing more, faster, more sustainably, make a case for it. But don’t cargo cult pair programming or backlog grooming or any other process for the sake of it, then you’ll just look silly. Good luck!
The problem is not solved by having excellent support for interoperability between chains. The security of any bridge interaction between chains is no better than the weaker chain.

And the security of two chains does not add up, in fact, the more resources are split up between multiple chains, the less secure they all become. So this doesn't solve for the security side of the trilemma.
