Many libraries still have an "ask a librarian" service, though it is usually an online chat. Those have not gone away with the rise of search engines.

I assume you are referring to:

> The results question the validity of controversial studies of intelligence based on IQ tests which have drawn links between intellectual ability race, gender and social class and led to highly contentious claims that some groups of people are inherently less intelligent that other groups.

I read this as "These studies measuring intelligence using IQ which have drawn links between intellectual ability, race, gender and social class are shit and we prove it".

This is at the opposite of what you are writing. It's not at all avoiding controversies. It's debunking, basically.

You are being downvoted and flagged elsewhere because you are wrong, not because one can't describe "controversial" truth.
> if something made your property worth $0 (say Chernobyl real estate) then paying any amount of money to the bank is just a waste.

depends why the value goes down too: chernobyl real estated has a cost on health probably giving it a negative value, whereas if the economic value drops but the place doesn't actually poison you, the house is still the same house to live in. That's not value of 0 regardless what the price tag says.

The problem there is we use housing as an investment which is at odds with basic needs of having a roof over one's head/a safe place to live.

When the Body Becomes All Eyes: Paradigms/Practices of Power in Kalarippayattu
This is a rare and lesser known book on Kalarippayattu, a South Indian Martial Art by Philip Zarrilli - http://www.phillipzarrilli.co.uk/biografy/index.html.

This will be of interest to folks who are into Yoga/Ayurveda/Qigong/Acupuncture/TCM and Martial Arts. The philosophies/principles/practices detailed in this book can be adapted/interpreted to any sport and in general wherever you need optimal psycho-physical performance.

Nope. Did everyone forget the tech motto "move fast and break things"? Where is the room for quality control in that philosophy?

It's funny that copyright somehow got mixed with the concept of canonicity over time. That a company or a person has the right to oxymoronically define the reality of a fictional universe is a bit crazy when you think about it.

The word "canon" is also an interesting choice for this concept. It references that the church - sticking to the most popular example - "decided" what was canon when christianity was forming, and so can authors about their works. Cynicism aside, I don't think religious leaders understood canonicity as their favored interpretation, but as actual truth, which is obviously not the case with modern media.

Some social media algorithm once recommended to me a video about a 550-year-old, still living Japanese monk.

Turns out it was a sokushinbutsu, a self-mummifying monk who practiced extreme fasting, dietary restriction and dehydration until, emaciated and desiccated, their body died in a meditative state. Such monks were thought not to be dead but rather to have ascended to a higher plane of understanding. Their corpses would be dressed in fine clothes and venerated almost like gods. If you complete a shrine in Breath of the Wild and reach the mummified monk at the end, those monks were inspired by sokushinbutsu.

It made me think about the claims of extreme longevity, especially from the Far East, and how many of those might just be due to flexibility about the definition of "death".

For the record Lael was going for, there is a restriction.

As an ex-professional photographer , you should be very aware that RAW does not mean uncompressed or lossless.

Many professional cameras offer lossy and lossless compressed RAW, and have for over a decade now and most are processed to some degree before it’s even written.

RAW hasn’t meant literally raw in a very long time.
“Noisy RAW”? What? It gives you a RAW file. Period. But this proves my point that Apple does not capture a RAW file, it is pretty highly processed. I want to do my editing, and I want to compress it my self if i want.

And I am talking about apple in this thread.

> Particularly when I talk to a non-techie about some complex technical issues

One time when talking with my brother (who isn't super technical), we were discussing hardware for gaming, and I was explaining to him about how some processors might show up as having twice as many cores as they're described due to hyperthreading. I was having trouble finding a good way to explain to him that each "virtual core" wasn't fully equivalent to a traditional core but still helped provide additional throughput, and after a moment he quipped "oh, so it's like two-ply toilet paper, you don't want to separate a sheet into each part but it's still better than one-ply". I'd never have been able to come up with as relatable an analogy as that, but I've used it on more than one occasion since to help explain to other people.
>so you're stuck building obsolete parts on an obsolete process.

"Stuck"? Generally speaking, they can charge an arm and a leg for those older parts due to small volume. When I previously worked at a company that supplied hardware for a military application, they were still buying decades old hardware at about a 10x markup from when it was still in production for the general commercial market.

Heck, in 2019 Global Foundries sold a 20 year old fab that IBM built in Fishkill to ON Semiconductor for $430m. IBM originally built it for ~$2.5B. You don't think they got their money's worth and then some? ON didn't buy it as an act of charity, they've clearly got a plan to continue printing money building chips out of that fab.

I don't see that as universal explanation. Anyone who enjoys live will want to prolong it (without sacrificing the enjoyment part, of course). Many people see the death not as "unknown", but as the "end of experience".

The manufacturers do not have the problem. They created a problem for many users as a side effect of forced obsolescence making consumers in richer countries buy new hardware every few years.

So it is not really "self created" in my book.
Well yes, but you need to be smart about it, just like about everything else in life. People read full body workout and start some super intense training regimen which for some may be great, and for others it may be too much. Instead its more like some gardening efforts - every day a bit, not too much. My late grandparents are an example - obviously no smoking and absolute minimum alcohol and 0 other drugs ever, regular good sleep, and garden (plus a bit of nature which was just walks or foraging mushrooms).

Understanding how body degenerates with age and injuries, especially joints and connective tissue. Workouts great for 20 years old are sometimes pretty bad for 40+. Don't stress heart too much, just enough, for long periods.

Plenty of weightlifters who have messed up their shoulders, spines, knees etc. although at their peak they lifted impressive weights and looked accordingly. Guess what, this adds 0 in longevity, whatever effect was there is 100% gone in 5-10 years from all tissues and bones as cells fully renew, and messing up core of your movement can easily negatively impair lifespan.

I do agree about ShellCheck being wrong sometimes - that's why I mentioned the method of disabling it for specific lines with a comment. When I first started using ShellCheck, it was highlighting lots of footguns that I wasn't aware of, but nowadays, it's very rare for it to spit a warning out at me - usually just for something like it not following a script or stating that a variable wasn't defined when it was.

I think the huge number of footguns is what makes BASH scripting fun.

Analogies and metaphors might be usable in conflicts, but I think they are overused in the internet.

They can help explain things. It is sometimes the case that two people disagree because each doesn’t understand what the other is saying. They are misinterpreting each other, and a better explanation can clear that up.

But more often people just disagree. They understand each other, but disagree. Because the problem isn’t understanding, analogies and metaphors don’t help. Best case people just end up arguing about the analogy, as the best thing it could be is a good proxy for the actual thing, which is what they actually disagree about.

Worst case, the analogy or metaphor is constructed to cast one side of the argument as obviously evil or disgusting. This is really just an ad-hom with extra steps, and it just ruins all hope of further conversation

Making an analogy or metaphor in this manner is essentially taking a new topic, murdering it, and dressing up the old topic in a crude skin-suit impersonation of it. It never quite fits, different aspects end up strangely twisted and stretched, and it all ends up haphazardly stitched together. Of course this is an obviously evil thing to do, on top of not really being all that convincing.

Don’t be a topic-murderer. Don’t “Buffalo Bill” the conversation. Don’t make metaphors and analogies where they aren’t useful.

It has explicit error handling and no exceptions. All mission critical C++ software I’ve worked on uses --f-no-exception and panics then restarts on out of memory.

Hardware errors were way more common than OOMs for those embedded code bases, and we didn’t have the testing budget to fault inject OOMs everywhere in simulation.

I know other fields still try to use the “handle all error codes” approach, but “let it fail then restart” is simpler and (in my experience and theoretically) easier to get to be reliable, especially in distributed environments.

This isn’t a new idea. For instance, during the apollo 11 landing, the guidance computer was crash looping, but managed to recover the trajectory enough on each loop to get to the ground. Look at the section about 1201 and 1202 alarms here:

Thing is, it kind of informs the entire piece. I don't think that the author's thinking is fully crystallized. I think that it's based on "vibes," and political digressions are a part of that.

Ultimately, the author is reacting to what he's hearing on BlueSky, which is a left-wing-coded sort of echo chamber:

> This essay was in part triggered by a bizarre opinion I saw re-tweeted on Bluesky, asserting that the very act of world-building is "fascistic":

> "I view worldbuilding as fairly fascist tbqh. Refusing to allow spaces for the reader's imagination to flourish. Removing the part of the contract between writer and reader that is communal and shared. Grabbing them by the hand as you try and map out a land that does not exist."

He knows that it's a bizarre opinion, and yet he feels compelled to generalize from it.

I think that it's such a strange and uncommon -- truly bizarre -- opinion that it must not be generalized from. Then, I suppose, there'd be no essay -- but it contained few or no true insights, so that's okay.
After my initial consternation about the temperature control costing $170, I think I have an idea that may placate my concerns.

A compact temperature control widget without batteries at all.

It accepts the appropriate USB PD power input in a standards-compliant way. It has a knob, and also a screen for status. It talks to the soldering iron and provides power to it. It does not have batteries or any special facilities for batteries *though if a user chooses to use it with an appropriate USB PD battery then they certainly can). This all seems possible, and adherence to USB PD specifications should tend to make it safe by default.

The rub, and this may not be possible at all, is that it must be substantially cheaper than soldering iron itself.

But because you've done the right thing and documented the protocol, then maybe someone else will implement this (as DIY or otherwise) and it won't be your problem at all. :)
Fine, something not peer reviewed, crippled with fallacies posing as scientific material which describes falsehoods gets heavily criticized. This looks good to me. There are ways to reap storm by describing something false and by not doing one's homework, yes, I'm willing to believe this. Note that I was speaking about describing truth (implicit in the first paragraph, explicit in the second).

I'm not willing to engage further, our last argument two weeks ago [1] didn't end well and history seems to repeat itself. This won't lead to an interesting discussion.

edit: like last time, you could have stated your point instead of asking a loaded question and make me do your homework.

we had to euthanize one of our cats last year. she was quite anxious and uncomfortable during the trip to the vet. when the actual moment arrived, she curled up on my wife's lap and started purring quite loudly -- even before the initial anaesthetic was injected.

if you live with an animal for a while, you learn to read their emotions very well. i can't shake the conviction that she knew she was dying, that she maybe wasn't glad, but at least resigned to and accepting of her fate.

this is a lot of anthropomorphism, i know, no doubt catalyzed by my own intense emotions around losing her. but intuitively i'd say "yes, they know".

Rental is not necessarily the problem compared to leaving houses empty because they're worth more as investment than putting in the work to rent them out. And the number of Vacation rentals in my area is a bigger issue than rentals or empty houses. Why house community members for $2000 a month when you can charge that per week to tourists part of the year and make more money, right?

That makes sense for tour de France. They spend a lot of time attacking and then conserving energy. The attacks are zone 5 (hr) efforts. High toll on the body and immune system. Endurance athletes ride differently, they avoid higher power zones and focus on max efficiency from which the body can more easily recover.

Key to it, exertion and recovery are non linear. Lael likely can push 300 watts at zone 2. For comparison, a strong amateur cyclist can push 300 watts only for about 15 minutes (and would be in zone 4 - very likely exhausted the following day)

The focus in ultra endurance is extreme efficiency. Extreme aerobic and metabolic fitness.

Bottom line, tour de france riding and ultra endurance are quite different. The athletes from one to the other do not necessarily do well in the other mode of riding.
