One thing I did was I uninstalled every social media app from my phone, turned on greyscale, turned off notifications so I could be more present with the time I have.

I also have a more "boring" yet stress free job that gives me a lot more patience for the challenges that come with young children.
You are likely not a professional writer, unless that happens to be your job, but then you are not “like the rest of us”. Also, journalists are held to the standards of their organization, unlike “the rest of us” who have no standard.

I always assume something a random citizen says is 99% false because yes, most people know very little.
Some places it's anything with sales tax, or maybe just goods in general if they already have low or no tax on food. Other places have it on specific goods that would be considered 'school supplies'. I think where my son is, it's a week or weekend where it's all sales tax is waived. Definitely not a corporate thing, it's to give parents and residents a break and to help stimulate the economy with spending.
you're too lazy to post counterpoints and then call the place sad. you are the problem, my friend! i don't like posting this kind of comment but felt it needed to be called out. i'd prefer if neither of our comments were posted.
Yes, they also released F# 9.
Since we seem to have forked off the calculated trajectory for this timeline for a second time, and now Musk will share a post in Government (with a Fox news anchor as Defense secretary and perhaps the dead bear dumper as the Secretary of the Treasury), one imagines his coke fueled rantings on his own BB will grow more fanatical.

The solution would be for all organisations that value... values, to get the hell off his ride.

Remove the fuel from that burning car wreck.

It's funny how people love to imagine uber-intelligent benevolent alien overlords who always happen to agree with whatever point they're trying to make. It's an extension of the "if you disagree with me, you don't actually have an opinion, you're just having an emotional reaction to my rational points" nonsense that's all over the internet.
"They want factual neutral reporting."

If that's true, why is Fox News so much bigger than Reuters.
"Opt-Out" is a dark pattern per definition. If everyone does it (and on some platforms many people do), it leads to an impossible eternal whack-a-mole situation where the user is constantly monitoring their system while still being unable to ever be 100% certain that every leak is closed.

This is why some users opt for a system that enforce Opt-In or even Opt-Never by default. The sheer peace of mind is worth a lot.

And it's not even such a strange stance. Consider eg Enterprise or National security. Why shouldn't a regular user have such security by default?
There has not been much of a question surrounding Israel's nuclear capability since the Apollo Affair: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_affair

I guess you could look at their non-admission as evidence to the contrary, but it's not like they're selling enriched uranium as a souvenir to tourists at Ben Gurion international.

You absolutely can engineer your way out of those problems. There is always a simpler, easier way to put things together.

I think what happened is, Boeing codified all these labor-intensive manual processes back when they were riding high. The planes were selling well, they were state of the art. Now, 30 years later, it takes the same amount of effort to put everything together without mistakes, but the relative value of the finished product is less.
Good catch, the whole PDF parsing ecosystem is kinda grey on those things.

You’re being downvoted but the reference is this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long-term_nuclear_waste_warnin...

Wrong timescale though. 10000 years vs. 50 million. Millions of years is a very very very long time, our intuition is often wrong about timescales like that. For example a lot of modern land was still molten rock underground and vice versa.
This is where the signaling comes in. Those grads almost certainly didn't have a real need to solve it, but knew that this was a signal companies were looking for, so they trained for it. So there was some correlation with effort and grit. The is a reasonably strong argument for leetcode/system design etc that what you're looking for in grads is grit/effort/energy, because they have very little experience.
I’ve been cooking with recipes quite a bit lately (before it was just random stuff) and I must say that sequencing is always wrong.

Unfortunately they all seem to assume that chopping, cleaning and moving stuff around is all done in 0 time. I wish the recipes would take this into account more.

Because of this I actually would prefer the plain tree organisation more.
Enough people have the money and don't cook, I guess. I know people who say they did not turn on their ovens the entire term of their lease. I think it's probably a bad way to move through life, but that's only my opinion.

> The underlying issue is that Unicode was run by people who thought 16 bits was enough[0]

It really depends on how you look at it. I wouldn't fault the original designers of unicode who thought 16 bits was enough.

In modern unicode there are apparently 90k+ CJK characters, but honestly "nobody" actually uses more than the 10k. The thing is the unicode codepoints proliferate:

One for Japan, one for simplified and one for traditional. That's potentially 3x. Korea and Vietnam wants some too.

Then you have this thing called the Kangxi dictionary which was the most comprehensive Chinese character dictionary that includes all obscure characters people could find in the classical literature. Probably half of the characters in Kangxi have this description: "Variant of <more common character>". (I'm pretty sure a significant portion of these variants are just "typos" in old books)

If they were more "economical" in the usage of codepoints, i.e. don't create new code points for each country (just let them use the right fonts), don't include all the frivolous characters in Kangxi, etc... I'm pretty sure it's technically possible for CJK to use less than 10k characters in total. (which, if it did, will let unicode fit within 16 bits)

But this is a political nightmare and nobody wants this compromise. And the Unicode Consortium isn't going to prescribe some solution to some Asian countries on how their languages should be used.

So while the 16-bit limit was a bit tight even assuming optimal conditions, I really wouldn't fault the people who designed this limit to realize Asian cultural politics was so complicated. Heck, AFAIK, before CJK-unification, ALL East Asian codecs were 16-bit, and it was sufficient for each country respectively.
Surprised to see few grappling with this reality. Twitter is like state affiliated social media now. What real barriers can remain between anyone's twitter data and a hostile state regime that's promised to abuse it's power to target it's opposition? It's actually horrifying.

And to the extent that Elon believes Twitter was useful in attaining his current position, it doesn't really matter if it's profitable on the balance sheets or not - it's a loss leader.

> I’m not sure that I see the connection that you are making here. Can you elaborate?

Back when I had to write PowerShell scripts, I constantly found that piping an array to some command would almost always make that command to be invoked once for every item in array, instead of being invoked once and given the whole array as a single input. Sometimes it's the latter that you need, so the workaround is to make a new, single-element array with the original array as its only element, and pipe this into the command.
It's not that CO2 isn't valuable on its own, but that other carbon-containing molecules are even more valuable (especially when factoring in transportation costs). This helps prove out the technoeconomics of carbon capture.

Plus, if we wind down oil extraction, we'll need new processes to produce all the precursors we use for plastics. A cheap pathway to ethylene from captured CO2 and water would be huge.
> But the reason you are choosing things on Amazon is because of fulfillment software, advertising software, logistics software, that specifically the manufacturers of those products have all mastered.

Just tacking on the word “software” to other fields does not mean that the program is the selling point.

Give that same software to a mom and pop shop and they will not become Amazon.

Give it to Walmart even, and they won’t become Amazon.

Software is a tool, not a selling point.

Most people buy from Amazon because they deliver addictively fast. That is, in part, because of their logistics, but also because they are very vertically integrated.

The convenience is what makes you buy. Pretty much all their customers wouldn’t care if Amazon switch to old school paper records if their delivery times didn’t change.
I'm going to hope to avoid a generational bickering fest here but I'm going to note that I notice what I think of as strange default consumer behavior even in my own office....

The younger folks getting lunch delivered every day, they got new cars and not just new the better packages on those cars, their apartments have all sorts of amenities, great locations. I'm the "old guy" not just because of age but because I made my own sandwich and brought lunch. It's like all this is the default for them, they don't seem to notice.

They're 100% not wrong that opportunities are different compared to when I was their age, but at the same time, when I was their age I lived in a crappy apartment, drove a 15 year old basic car. My idea of going out was to some cheap place for dinner and paying for nosebleed seats on a weekday at the ballpark... these guys show up at the same fancy places I do / didn't eat at until much later in life.

I don't say this to ridicule them, but it seems like their concept of just sort of default consumerism is pretty heavy on the consuming.
>also interesting :) what i knew was that some or most states display the prices without tax, so you'll only know the total of your grocery trip at the checkout.

It comes up on /r/askamericans all the time, but it's not realistic to include tax on the prices because there are so many different taxing zones. A large city may have multiple. Most places you can figure it's going to be ~10% and might be pleasantly surprised when it's less. Everyone knows to figure roughly 10% extra, so it's not a chore or anything, even children figure it out.

"There were several motivations behind the spiral. The first was an interest in the spiral patterns of both Celtic and Islamic art, and a desire to create a similar effect with as few rules as possible"

This really resonates with me. Unfortunately "the two cultures" polarizes people into viewing artists as airheads doing random artifacts or mathematicians as weirdos working on mostly useless stuff - the "I'm bad at math" confession to bond with people is common.

How can we encourage more people to study both art & math? Or Humanities and Science in general, e.g. English and Biology?

I've always fantasized about having $10M discretionary money (haven't done the math, really, just a random figure) and opening a "Arts and Sciences Academy", which would be a high school where Arts trivium (music, literature, sculpture) would be studied on equal footing and intertwined with Sciences trivium (math, physics, biology) - I know an eclectic mix.

I don't know why the very rich not pursue setting up schools like this?

Well there probably would be more those kind of genius-autist-savants if children were allowed and encouraged to pursue their interest. Instead what usually happens when and if a child becomes obsessed with some topic is that instead of allowing child to pursue what he is passionate about by guiding a child towards a more constructive path(if necessary), he gets penalized for it. Repeatedly and as often as it takes for the child to stop dreaming. And that is such an incredibly stupid waste of human resources.
Indeed.

A litmus test for recent journalism is the hunter Biden laptop story.

And the reason is that most journalists nowadays believe that presenting other views is harmful[1]

Most boomers and their children grew up in an unusual period in news when broad and balanced coverage was expected, and even somewhat required in the TV news. "Yellow journalism" is back, though, and we haven't quite adjusted (compare abc news coverage of Biden's plagiarism and lying in the 1980s to their coverage of his mental decline during his presidency)

Supporting sure, but I don't know about believing.

The most fascinating part of Trump's success is that his supporters know he's lying, exaggerating and making stuff up on the spot and are ok with it. They believe he supports the things they support in a general sense and they believe all politicians lie and cheat, so they don't care even about his most egregious stuff.

I think there's a Dunning-Kruger effect, where people think they're being savvy about a corrupt system. The belief is that the whole edifice of American institutions is really just a facade on top of a corrupt system controlled by elites, and that Trump is being honest in a sense by exposing the corruption, but that his own obvious corruption is just a requirement to succeed in the way the game is played.

And of course Trump makes great use of this. The more he can get people to believe that the other side are liars and crooks, the more they'll tolerate his corruption and lies.

> At this point, the part about the major third appearing in the harmonic series lacks explicatory power.

I really don't think it does. Fifths (and their inverted form fourths) are the most consonant interval (ignoring octaves as the trivial case).

Most cultures develop musical processes that involve fifths very early on in their history.

Where do you go from fifths if you want to add another voice? If you have three notes and you want the most consonant result - you put a note that forms a third between the root and the fifth.

Given a few basic assumptions ("prefer simpler integer ratios") there's no better way to play 3 non-octave notes together.
Yea - 100% agree. Migrating old projects is really hard. DRF paradigms is just too opinionated and it will be basically a rebuild.
