There was an article recently about how it was the discovery of dinosaur bones that really began the shift away from organized religion.

There had been theoretical arguments against religion before that made some headway - but this was a paradigm change. It was actually seeing dinosaur bones, and having to reconcile that with the idea of a 4,000 year old earth, that really changed hearts and minds. Suddenly the thought of being an atheist clicked with a lot more people. For the first time people credited the idea that Noah may have never had an ark. There was a distinct 'before' and 'after'.

> reducing sodium is the most important thing

That's good to do, but by far the #1 thing for high blood pressure is exercise. A consistent schedule of intense cardio is probably the best single thing you can do for your health in general, and definitely for hypertension.
But hey, equal opportunity employment.
The article you linked doesn't support your anecdote about the root of the Shire Horse. It describes their history dating back centuries before railways. Their biggest use seems to have been hauling material to and from ports, not trains.
Similarly companies like Pave also do data collection and sharing to create “benchmarks” around salary and report out salary ranges for comparable companies and locations. I was wondering where the line is drawn between something like this and Realpage? Or even if you do some detailed survey about compensation and distribute it, at what point does this become anticompetitive? All of this does seem to rapidly be becoming the norm with regards to how companies set compensation levels. Curious if anyone with more expertise knows the answer.

A wonderful question that exposes me to legal action if I answer.

A better question: why do you think so many of your cryptographic feline friendz were so excited about isogenies for the past decade? Where do you think they all obtained that identical enthusiasm from? Why do you think SIKE made it so far in the contest and only got eliminated through luck?
As a Catholic Christian, I believe that the rays of God's truth shine through all religions to varying degrees, while the Church contains the fullness of the truth.

For example, Jews are the elders of our faith and Christianity is a continuation or fulfillment of Judaism. Jews, Muslims, and Christians all worship the God of Abraham and have some common beliefs.

Our Buddhist brothers and sisters say a lot of good things about detaching ourselves from worldly desires.

But at the end of the day, the Christian faith does proclaim Christ as the one and only Savior, while all other gods are false, and all other religions are inaccurate to various degrees. I do firmly believe this, and I believe that the cumulative evidence points in this direction.
Perhaps this is what I was trying to say.

Rise of Non-Custodial Neobanking
The couple comments and then paragraph about having to restart the simulator:

... restart the simulator every 3rd try or so. Because if you don’t the workout will still be running in the background and everything just silently fails and you will think you have a bug in your code until you finally find the correct stack overflow reference that just explains this is the way life is.

Doesn't seem to happen to me in the standalone simulator or on a connected device. For me it seems to happen in the Preview, which is not the same thing. It seems to start when you manage to get the main app and the preview version out of sync, usually during a code edit and preview refresh.

The problem seems to go away if you handle previews and preview provider concurrency more explicitly:

Arguably, the US civil war wasn't strictly necessary. If it weren't for the slavery issue, I think it's would have been better for the northern states to just let the south secede. Even with the slavery issue, and if they had not bothered fighting a war to keep those states in the union, it's arguable that the south would have failed economically before long anyway, especially if the north had instituted sanctions.

As for comparing democracies to China, the democracies of the EU are lucky China isn't next door to them. They're already completely unable to defend themselves against Russia, which is also expansionist and aggressive, but at least doesn't have China's industrial power. If the EU were next to China, they'd be completely defenseless against Chinese expansionism.
Personally I care less about this, and more about someone else not ripping my code off outright and profiting.

I’m very much torn, because on the one hand, I can attribute my entire career to OSS. I learned from using and studying others’ work. OTOH, what I did not do is take someone’s work, and monetize it.

I have no issue with using a library; those are nearly always released with the explicit purpose of being included in a larger body of work. But if someone makes a full product, and releases it under essentially any OSI-approved license, absolutely nothing stops me from taking it as-is, throwing a splashy page in front of it, and making money (assuming it’s a marketable product, of course). This to me is the same as stumbling across an artisan making a product and selling it cheaply, only to turn around and immediately resell it for a profit, simply because they didn’t know any better. It’s legal, but it’s ethically gross.

Who said anything about the boot?
Or worse... in a world of such advanced technologies, the reason for booting people up isn't going to be for technical knowledge of any sort. And 1000 years of art and music will have also gone by.

So people might be booted up as toys for children.
Use a keyboard shortcut to switch to a tiling layout? Or if you're psychotic, like I am, activate your Quake-style semi-transparent terminal that overlays the desktop, allowing you to (barely) read the superimposed instructions in the browser window below.

IMO, tiled Quake-style overlay terminals (guake, yakuake, iTerm hotkey window) over floating windows offer the best of both worlds.
> ... and even those who do upgrade might badmouth the company ...

The one reason to badmouth Apple is their lame laptop screens. They are ultra brittle. Shiny, but mega brittle.

> ... which might make friends and family less likely to buy an Apple product ...

An Apple product I'm not saying never ever again: we may buy a Mac Mini. But I'm never ever buying an Apple laptop again and my wife neither.

I'll never stop to badmouth them: asking 690 EUR to replace the screen on a pristine 13-months laptop paid 1000 EUR "because it's out of warranty" is unacceptable.

No, it's not my fault: I've got a 2017 LG Gram (lighter than any Mac laptop by the way) and that thing is rock solid. It's MILSPEC and people are going to bitch and whine that "MILSPEC means nothing". Yet MILSPEC means:

"My laptop's screen won't break overnight while I'm sleeping" (which is literally what happened to my Mac laptop's screen: I close its lid before going to sleep only to wake up with a broken screen. Tens of pages about that "bend gate" on Apple forums and Apple did nothing to fix the problem).

Apple produces really shitty laptops.
I suppose it’s my belief that he gave everything he got to FSB vs your belief that he’s telling the truth and he didn’t. I base my belief on the first hand knowledge of how Russia works, and the fact that it held all the cards and Snowden held none once he stepped on Russia’s soil - and probably before.
Mainly responded in a sibling comment.

I think to get the closest representation of the direction the GC is moving towards you could try `dotnet new webapiaot` template with .NET 9 preview SDK: https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/9.0

Can't say I'm a huge fan of it but it gets the job done. In general, ASP.NET Core and Kestrel are great, particularly when you look at just how much more CPU and RAM (and boilerplate) Spring and Node.js require to deliver the same amount of functionality (validation, rate limiting, caching, middlewares, etc.), but because the pipeline is quite a bit UTF-16 centric and feature-focused, it mostly manages to provide competitive performance through sheer performance of the foundation it is built on. .NET could use a custom implementation, much like what Garnet does under the hood, to fully take advantage of compiler and memory management improvements and reclaim top positions in techempower :)

You may notice that GC is more size-efficient on Linux and Windows than on macOS. There is an internal feature regarding its heap management (regions) that is not enabled for the latter due to some tooling integration issues. It will eventually get fixed but due to minor impact (people aren't using macs for hosting) of it, it hasn't been a priority.

Another project which I think is a good showcase even if unrelated to the domain you work with: https://github.com/codr7/sharpl - can be compiled with dotnet publish -o .

The sort of thing people often build in Go. Because it is completely custom it is really good at demonstrating just how much native AOT compilation tooling has improved and how low base application footprint gets wrt GC and runtime. Might take a bit to compile for the first time - it needs to pull ILC (IL AOT Compiler) from nuget.org. Not going to be as fast as Go build times (.NET 9 improves it) but you often don't need that - for quick iteration during dev there is dotnet watch for hot-reload instead.
I agree with you. I was responding to the guy that said his is fine..... As if that proves anything. So I gave the 300k mile example of the most troubled transmission in the industry.

The "2D" used here refers to something completely different than to what "2D" and "3D" refer when discussing CMOS transistors.

All CMOS transistors, regardless if they use a 2D geometry or a 3D geometry are made with silicon. Silicon is a 3D semiconductor material. For silicon to behave as a semiconductor, there must exist a big enough volume of material, with several atom layers in all the three directions of the space.

Besides 3D semiconductor materials, there exist also 2D semiconductor materials, which consist of sheets that have a thickness of only one atom, for instance molybdenum disulfide, tungsten disulfide or graphene.

In such 2D semiconductor materials, it is enough to have several atom layers in only two directions of the space, while in the third the thickness is of only one atom, i.e. the smallest possible.

The article shows a very important progress in the direction of enabling the making of integrated circuits that use 2D semiconductor materials instead of silicon.
FWIW, local sccache has never been a speedup for me. I've never tried to configure remote sccache.
There were plenty of other reasons they started soldering the RAM, and their desire to lock in customers to bogus upgrade prices simply meant that “but customers will lose the ability to upgrade their RAM from third parties for cheaper!” argument to not solder the RAM fell on deaf ears.
I think the biological difficulties of human space travel, and its unprofitably so far, have given us a very poor perspective on how fast thing progress from here.

Old bottlenecks are evaporating.

Reusable systems, cheaper faster rocket production, & the loss of dependency on traditional pilots are just three profound bottlenecks we have passed in the last few years.

Machines are getting smarter (not even talking about general AI) and smaller, launch costs are collapsing, demand for resources accelerating, and systems for refueling, communication, etc. are bifurcating.

The last & only BIG bottleneck left now, is simple recognition of relative economic profitability. Just as there has been an explosion of satellites, there will be an explosion of resource extraction the moment it becomes relative net profitable, on a forward predictive basis.

(I.e. shareholder returns for demonstrated viability relentlessly accelerate investment, long before positive cash flow is required.)

Human lunar & Martian bases are just a distraction, however intriguing and likely. They are not a brake on the Solar System resource economic loop, any more than the continued inefficiencies of biologically manned orbital stations held back the explosion of communication satellites.
Public predictions like this are less about the future than about the social condition and zeitgeist of the present. They project to the future whatever they think will make them look good.

No. The only thing I almost always want at boot is the browser, but I usually wait for my first query to launch it (If I wanted something that badly, I'd use my tablet). Whatever prompt me to turn to my computer is what I want first, and I don't want other stuff to slow it down.

Yep this is a huge issue on iOS.

Here’s a couple of solutions, Signal:

2. iCloud now has optional e2ee. Let me just say my threat model trusts that e2ee and use iCloud directly.

Linux's biggest problem is the multitude of options in every space, all unique, none of them recognises existing systems that work well and none of them borrow the working solutions from the predecessors. Everyone has to offer some mind bending individual solution that are mostly useless. All of these are centered around the heavy gravity of egos that created them.

That's why gimp and krita is unusable compared to PS.

Don't forget FunnelLeasing.com which funnels its victims into Finicity.com which is "consent based" financial surveillance where landlords can monitor the cash, credit and asset accounts of their customers using a pretty dashboard and receive alerts in advance of upcoming trouble (such as layoff by Google, Amazon, Facebook, etc. that facilitated the consumer mindset to "consent" to such madness). It allows the landlords to eject tenants before they default by proving that the tenants are already insolvent according to industry norms.
His anecdotal observations are accurate. This entry on Canadian Geese is right on the mark based on behavior I have seen in some flocks near the St. Lawrence and Charles rivers at dusk:

Although on these occasions they move with the greatest regularity, yet when they are slowly advancing from south to north at an early period of the season, they fly much lower, alight more frequently, and are more likely to be bewildered by suddenly formed banks of for, or by passing over cities or arms of the sea where much shipping may be in sight. On such occasions great consternation prevails amoung them, they crowd together in a confused manner, wheel irregularly, and utter a constant cackling resembling the sounds from a disconcerted mob.

I was also unaware how long his writings on birds were - the entry about Canadian Geese is over 5000 words long:

https://www.audubon.org/birds-of-america/canada-goose

Regarding TFA, there is a dark humor looking back on the behavior of eating practically every animal he studied - including owls, sandpipers, and eagles - but balked at a few species such as cormorants:

The fishermen and eggers never gather their eggs, they being unfit for being eaten by any other animals than Gulls or Jagers; but they commit great havoc among the young, which they salt for food or bait. The old birds are too shy to be killed in great numbers, otherwise their feathers, although they smell strongly of fish, might be turned to account. I have never eaten Cormorant's flesh, and intend to refrain from tasting it until nothing better can be procured.

There are several examples of anonymized data not being so anonymized after all and able to be traced back to the person. As far as what could someone malicious do with health records, you have a contingent of people in some states hunting down women for having abortions so that might be something you don't want getting out there. Or you might be someone in a very religious area and you don't want people finding out you're getting AIDS treatment.
Yes, several decades of experience. Mainly Windbg now but I used to use SoftICE a lot. Look for error (or otherwise) messages/codes and use breakpoints to guide your exploration. Of course, the source code is also available, but sometimes it's even more difficult to follow than the binary if what you're looking for is obfuscated in several layers of compiled-out indirections.

They're complaining about a rise in the absolute number of hungry people, not the rate of hunger.

I hope you're not arguing that the rate of hunger has done anything but gone down drastically in the past 1000 years.

That there are short-term oscillations change nothing about the very obvious long-term trend. Keep in mind also that most economies are still recovering from Covid. Heck, the EU is a rich area and is still recovering from 2008.

Now, 1000 years ago, there were ~0.3B people. [0]

The daily calorie supply is hard to get, but in 1200 it looks to have been about 2000kCal in the UK. [1]

Now we're up to 3000kCal per person per day, for 27x the population. [2] And honestly, we're not even trying to maximize this number at all; farmers are optimizing for profit, not for maximum calories. Absolutely enormous tracts of land go uncultivated. Hydroponic farming is used for minuscule percentage of our food supply. We're nowhere close to maxing out the food supply.

When I see complaints like yours I can only conclude one of these:

1) The people involved truly don't get the idea of rates, or long-term trends in rates, or the impact of technology on our lives

2) They aren't arguing in good faith and simply want me to be sad.

Both of these devalue the source of the argument.
