This is very likely age-dependent.

When I was in my 20s, this was absolutely not a problem.

When I hit my 30s, I started wearing glasses instead of contacts basically all the time, and it wasn't a problem.

Now that I'm in my 40s, I'm having to take my glasses off to read a monitor and most things that are closer than my arm's reach.
Maybe what you are saying is true in the UK, but gp is right for Germany - I don't know anyone here who would complain about the glass their beer was served in.

Also, most of what counts as craft beer in the US wouldn't even legally pass as beer here.
Wow, they even exclude it from their free shipping offer.
Biologically, it would be pretty strange for grieving to not have evolved pretty early on in the mammalian brain, no?

It would be pretty weird for a smart, social mammal to simply ignore the death of a beloved companion. Are there any social mammals that DON'T grieve? Maybe large herd/flock animals (deer, bat, rodents)...?

It was surprisingly hard to find a scientific consensus on this topic. Maybe there isn't one yet? It seemed obvious to me, but that's not data, just anecdotal experience with animals.

> This isn't meant to be a nationalistic point, but America has a relatively undeveloped beer culture; beer is often kept and served very poorly and drinkers rarely notice.

You are extremely incorrect on this point. I think this is true if you think of your typical dive bar in the US, but this is more a /cost/ point than a point of the beer culture. Dive bars are not expected to be good, just cheap. The best beers in the world of every style (except Belgian beers) are in made in the US. The US revived craft brewing and spread it around the world, and brought craft brewing to parts of the world that never had any serious beer culture. American beer is /far/ far more than light beers shotgunned out of a can in the parking lot during a college football game.

There are numerous craft bars in the US that take the quality of their pours, including the quality of the glassware very seriously. The US helped to pioneer the certification process for serving beer, modeled after that for wine. The BJCP was founded in 1985 in Colorado, as an offshoot of the American Homebrewer's Association, and the Cicerone Certification program was founded 25 years ago in the US as well. The US has done a significant amount, not just for itself, but for the world, to establish high standards of excellence for the making of beer and the serving of beer.

I say this as someone who is an expert on beer. I have traveled to more than 70 countries, in part specifically to drink beer. I have brewed beer for more than 20 years. I have judged beer competitions. I am a certified cicerone. I have drank more than ten thousand unique beers and been to more than 2500 breweries in my life. It is completely ignorant (and a nationalistic ignorance) to say that the US has a poor beer culture. This might have been true in the 1970s, it is not true today, and it hasn't been true for decades.

I suspect a lot of the hype comes from people who have never tinkered with electronics.

Noise is always a problem. Just trying to measure a small signal is a problem since your instruments (which are not perfect) can influence the circuit. Component tolerances are also a problem - if you're trying to do something super precise, you'll have to spend extra money on better components, which is why measurement instruments such as oscilloscopes are so expensive.

In some ways the hardware fights against you in analog design. Digital just brushes that away by clamping all possible values to just two.

Managed async bulk transfers as-a-service seems relevant to anyone writing lots of data doing multisite including DR. You can easily have this problem and not have yet hit any other scale problems that are addressed by the alluded-to tools people love to hate (k8s, tf, containers etc).

What is being managed here with Effingo is the relatively tiny links between sites, not the bandwidth on the fat local links. Bandwidth needs to be managed and prioritized across all the various copies that are happening across different services apps and teams simultaneously across the company, and across the systems themselves as aggregate for the links. Managing it gives you control on cost but also ensures optimal use within the constraints imposed and consistent and reliable handling of the copy use case.
"as a predator they kill animals, so do youy think that in their mind they think that after they kill an animal that animal is just sleeping and should wake up soon?"

This is a very human approach to describing how a cat perceives the world.

A lot of animals kill other animals. Some of these animals don't even have brains. I don't think "killing" is a necessary or sufficient precondition for understanding death.

"is thinking if they dream about them, is that confusing for them"

I think this is an interesting question in general. Cats seem to understand the difference between dreams and reality. When my cat seems to have a nightmare and I wake her up, she calms down immediately, so she must have some understanding that her dream was not real.
I'll push back and say Brave is far more than just Chrome with a different skin. Remember, it is a fork. That description is better suited for Edge or Opera.

I hear you on the concern about the browser engine monoculture. It's a concern of mine as well.

I guess what I should say is - _if_ you're going to use a chromium-based browser, you should probably use Brave.

I'm currently looking into Mull browser as it seems to be to Firefox what Brave is to Chrome.
I've worked on adding Google Pay / Apple Pay to the mobile app of a large European ecommerce company, and that's more of less how we went about it.

Start with the sandbox / test environments, once you get reasonable responses end to end, release the thing behind a feature flag. Backend moves slowly, so you add stuff to the mobile app that really belongs to the backend, but f it, because it's the only way you meet the deadline, you will convince someone on the backend later (aka never) that it's backend responsibility. Ask (pressure) the developers into buying some cheap stuff from your shop with their own credit cards, because the company is a behemoth and approving real credit cards for testing would just take ages and you want to release yesterday. It annoys you, but you realize that 5x5 euros is worth getting this done rather than start fighting a losing battle against company processes. Cancelation is possible, but it will take a couple of days. If there's any issue, you debug it across a bunch of teams and/or companies. Things start to work most of the time, time to release the stuff to x percent of your users. Check analytics and error logs frequently. Some production users got their payments through, increase rollout percentage. You discover more and more undocumented error codes, you improve the error messages to the users so that they don't retry 10 times with a card without sufficient funds. After a couple weeks, things start to stabilize, you move on to a new feature...

The test environments were so complicated and had so many caveats that whenever I had to do something, I had to re-read the docs and our notes to know all the "traps" we already discovered. For the people who didn't work on this payment feature from start to finish, testing in the officially recommended test channels were hopeless.

Is it possible that fever is a legacy feature?

Like I would expect microbes specialized to the human/mammalian system environment to be able to deal with the relatively small temperature range of fevers.

The selection pressure of fever is pretty well-suited to microbial evolution. It's very incremental, and microbes are known to live in a wide variety of temperatures. It seems much easier to get around than antibiotics, for example, which has of course happened.

However, there may have been a time when fever didn't yet exist and therefore the microbes were not yet able to handle it. As the feature evolved in mammals it was successful for a while since it dynamically changed the microbe's environment.

If this arms race process was slow enough the feature may be pretty deeply baked into the mammalian genome and persist today despite a relative lack of usefulness compared to the past and even some increased rate of death in the case of high fever.
The title is driven by the fact that, in American mythology, dogs are the natural predator of cats.

More people should be aware of GNU part. I hate to see GNU having substantially less financial support than Linux.
I'm not sure I'd quantify it as "excellent". It's nearly identical to last generation's parts. The only pro so far is the very lower power usage, which is nice.
Good points. And the more reason to avoid Chrome! I do not consent to my browser behaviour being used to train ad serving models and other "AI" cases.

Glad I use Firefox. It works, and while not perfect, is considerably more respectful of my privacy and less misaligned with my interest.
Thank you for providing a thoughtful response. What you're saying makes sense.
> When you say freelance goes directly to savings, are you saying you want something like "no matter what I earn from freelance it goes to savings"?

Yes. Or another account so that you have clear accounting for tax purposes. "This account gets freelance money and this money was spent for home office expenses related to the freelance work which is deductible from that income stream."

Child support obligations come out of one income as a percentage of that income - but not the other. A two income family where the husband is paying 10% of wages to child support for example - its 10% of his $1000 / month that never hits the main account, but her $500 /month is untouched and goes to the shared account. This could be complicated if she was a 1099 worker and needed to keep track of that money separately so that it could have the proper taxes taken out of that and have the resulting "actual money" that is spendable go into the "can be spent" bucket.

While money is fungible, the depiction of money flows when it hits a "one big bucket" makes it so that the value behind the Sankey diagram is lost. Is all the money that your household makes taxed the same way? Do you file jointly or separately? Is there a separate account for isolating certain expenses for reporting purposes?

https://alternativeenergyatunc.wordpress.com/wp-content/uplo... is useful and one will note the lack of a big bucket. Or consider the original one - https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/10/JIE_Sank...

There is information lost when it goes to one big bucket.

Literally every grade school history and civics class I took pounded this idea ad infinitum. I think people by-and-large just don't care because they're probably not being visibly effected even if they feel uncomfortable when it's talked about.
It comes up most often when I'm updating a string. I may want to backspace a couple characters and then, possibly after entering new characters, delete the other direction. I'm already using multiple hands/keys constantly so no big deal. Keeps the theme of removing characters on the same key.

I definitely wouldn't pay $1600 but I like the idea of an ultra-modular and configurable desk. I wonder if you could build something similar with 80-20 extrusions (and/or similar knock-off) and an Ikea desktop. There's a huge ecosystem of ways to integrate/extend these and you could do some cool things with them.

Ok so I want to link A Primer of Infinitesimal Analysis https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/primer-of-infinitesimal... this book is so so so good. It begins with nothing and eventually builds enough for Newton-style classical mechanics, made entirely of geometric arguments using infinitesimals, and being fully rigorous. Also has an appendix where it gives the construction using category theory

Anyway so does this mean that Z3 can't be used to prove intuitonistic arguments? That's surprising to me. What exactly makes SMT tied to classical logic?

edit: okay check out this https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.5555/1983702.1983729 the author used an embedding in order to represent intuitionistic formulas inside classical logic, so they could use Z3 anyway

I feel like this covers that problem, no? Surely the kill-you-in-three-days problems must be very painful? And if they aren’t very painful, I wouldn’t be going to the ER anyways, so I’d die before my scheduled visit — surely at least a week out in most places I’ve visited

Using Units in Racket
There are something like 30 universities in the Boston metro, including some extremely press and wealthy ones. Universities like Harvard and MIT have sprawling research industrial complex’s beyond teaching students. And many thousands of employees, many of whom are high paid professionals.

All that to say nothing of the students. The population of Boston itself is ~600k, while the metro region has ~4M people and roughly 300k students reside in the metro. These are obviously not all local students, but students from all over the world who have come to Boston for education.

I didn’t mean directly that the schools had money, but that neighborhoods and civic fabric was built around the universities. But many do have a lot of money. Students tend not to travel far, so you get lots of self-contained neighborhoods around school. Similar to SF where the hills limit how far you’d walk.
It is not mythology. Dogs hunt cats. Just like cats sometimes live with domesticated mouses.

I've been playing with Hetzner since June. One of their billing options is PayPal, which is what I've been using. That should come through as a US charge. Note: their PayPal option isn't a recurring payment; they send you an invoice each month and then you have to go into the billing page and pay it via PayPal. It's kind of tedious, not sure why they set it up like that.

P.S. before I put FastMail on my credit card, I used to have it on my bank debit card. My bank charged me some silly international fee, like $5.00 or something just for the privilege of using my own bank account, but I never had an issue with the actual payment. If possible, I recommend putting FastMail and Hetzner on a credit card and then pay the credit card with your bank account.
Would you stand in front an astrophysicist PhD and tell them their degree is worthless because you can’t see dark matter and supersymmetry? Would you stand in front of an archaeology PhD and tell them their degree is worthless because you can obviously see that aliens created the pyramids? You don’t know what you’re talking about. Your idea of art as a purely subjective study isn’t held by anyone with even casual knowledge of the field. It’s like claiming mathematics is subjective because we all have different favorite numbers.

Multiple commenters have used pathos and ethos to argue with you because your understanding is so rudimentary and your ignorance so great that to argue the nature of art with you would be like trying to teach algebra to an ape. You cannot comprehend an actual argument from your starting point.

I for one don’t really like Warhol. I’m a spurned formalist along the likes of Greenberg and Fried, and I think the true inheritor of post-modernist conceptualism lies with Minimalists like Serra, Morris, Smithson, etc. I’m not convinced by Baudrillard, and I think the strongest Warhol is his early and late periods where he was much more concerned with illustration and surface treatment, respectively. I am still not such an uneducated simpleton so as to make the claim that Warhol isn’t art or worthy of art historical study. -This- is what an argument against Warhol looks like. Demonstrated knowledge of art history, methodology, and reasoning. You are claiming people aren’t engaging with you but you lack the fundamental skills to be engaged with. Again, this is like arguing mathematical proofs with someone who can’t multiply two numbers. Read a book!

> America has a burgeoning beer culture, but much of the country is still a beer desert where the only widely available beers are pasteurised lagers.

This would have been true decades ago. It hasn't been true anytime recently, even more than a decade ago. At this point, craft beer is available bottled and canned in the typical supermarket and even gas station/convenience store in the US, even dive bars have at least one tap for craft beer or at least some bottles (although it is likely not going to serve it in high quality glassware), and craft beer makes up more than a quarter of the total dollars sold in the US beer market and nearly 15% of the volume.

You say this, but at the same time, the most popular beers drunk in every European country are pasteurised lagers as well. In fact, lagers are popular /all over the world/ for the same reason: They are light, easy to drink, cheap to produce and buy, and refreshing when served cold in hot weather.

I've been in plenty of historic pubs in the UK that were unfortunately acquired and ruined by Wetherspoons. A Wetherspoons is in no way any better than the average dive bar in the US, except that in the US it is commonplace for a bar to serve only alcohol and no food, where in the UK pubs are generally expected to have food.

There is obviously a massive gap on one side at the least, especially given the complexity of GT. You seem to be strangely bothered by the subtlest implication that Gobekli Tepe lacks an obvious forbearer. Which I would truly love to see by the way, aside from handwaving, as the gap bothers me. An example of handwaving: once, on this forum, another user tried to make the case that cave paintings marked the transition to the high relief art of GT. In my opinion, its disingenuous to imply that there is any other known architecture that predicts Goblekli Tepe. I understand that there is an immense amount of excavation that needs to be done across countless sites from that period, but even a hypothetical architecturally parallel site from that period would not change the fact of the gap. You're incorrectly implying that Gobekli Tepe is merely an exceptional example within a wider category of architecture. That's not the case. As of now, it is the singular example.
I'd guess because the PMs on those products are pretty sure (and I agree with them) that adding a Sankey diagram will generate ZERO additional sales, so even one day of work to implement it isn't worth it, especially given the ensuing lifetime of maintenance on the feature.

Speaking just for myself, I've looked at personal finance Sankey diagrams on Reddit many times and never understood what use they were to anyone, what actionable insights were provided that you didn't already get some other way.
