"Otherwise atheist" and believe "demons are totally real" is a very odd combination.

They believe in the supernatural, but only the evil supernatural? They believe in demons, presumably because of their experiences, but completely discount all religious experience?

That sounds to me as simply reflecting the effects of having done (a lot of?) LSD.

The German state is also helping public health insurers hide their dirty secret: in hundreds of thousands of cases, denials were legally flawed and the cases have to be reviewed. They refuse to do so on the behest of politics as a small number of cases will turn out to be intentionally negligent homicides caused by public officials.

A site properly presenting the facts is due for launch in the lead up to Germany's upcoming federal election. Until then, you can find a teaser here:

Any claim related to outpatient treatment which outside the ordinary requires prior approval there. You cannot opt to pay in advance and seek reimbursement later.

In the state of Bavaria the doctors at a government agency have been practicing without a medical license going back many years because their supervisor let this slide. I discovered her problem randomly in the course of litigation and it impacts probably a million case.

The person responsible for her staff of hundreds lacking a current medical license was later hired to lead the qualifications department at the medical board. That is, after I got her fired from her position and then from a job at a hospital (a felonious psychologist is unacceptable risk for patients). Politics would prefer to see her problem covered up.

The example you've given here does not work the way you think it does. I would agree however that the mechanics of closure environments is simpler in Erlang due to the fact that values are immutable, as opposed to closures in other languages where mutability must be accounted for.

I would also note that, for the example you've given, the compiler _could_ constant-fold the whole thing away, but for the sake of argument, let's assume that `Val` is an argument to the current function in which `SumFun` is defined, and so the compiler cannot reason about the actual value that was bound.

The closure will be constructed at the point it is captured, using the `make_fun` BIF, with a given number of free var slots (in this case, 1 for the capture of `Val`). `Val` is written to the slot in the closure environment at this time as well. See the implementation of the BIF [here](https://github.com/erlang/otp/blob/6cefa05a2a977864150908feb...) if you are curious.

At runtime, when the closure is executed, the underlying function receives the closure environment, from which it loads any free vars. In my own Erlang compiler, the closure environment was given via pointer, as the first argument to the function, and then instructions were emitted to load free variables relative to that pointer. I believe BEAM does the same thing, but it may differ in the specific details, but conceptually that is how it works.

The compiler obviously must generate a new free function definition for closures with free variables (hence the name of the function you see in the interactive shell, or in debug output). The captured MFA of the closure is this generated function. The runtime distinguishes between the two types of closures (function captures vs actual closures) based on the metadata of the func value itself.

Like I mentioned near the top, it's worth bearing in mind that the compiler can also do quite a bit of simplification and optimization during compilation to BEAM - so there may be cases where you end up with a function capture instead of a closure, because the compiler was able to remove the need for the free variable in cases like your example, but I can't recall what erlc specifically does and does not do in that regard.

What about people who don't just read, but have absurd speed?

My brother and I both read around 900 wpm. My children only read at a normal adult speed, but both love to read. If I had a way to have passed on my reading speed, I would have. But I have no idea how to do so. And no idea how my reading speed is possible.

I've met only one person outside of my family with similar reading speed to my own.

It is definitely true that larger burrs have more surface area to retain grounds. In general, I think most people consider the tradeoff worth it in terms of flavor, especially because in my experience the coffee that builds up in the burr of any grinder is likely to stay there whereas coffee that sits in nooks and crannies around the chute is likely to get cycled each time.

The knocker is actually hidden within the hopper itself, you twist and release it and it knocks into the burr. The basic idea for the design is that you have 3 rings, and each of them is a touch point, the bottom turns it on, the middle adjusts the size, and the top is the knocker.

Ukraine Asks If Telegram, Its Favorite App, Is a Sleeper Agent
Hang on...you are running a plastic tube to a kettle on your stovetop?? There is zero chance that the water getting to the device is anywhere near the right temperature after going through a length of plastic tubing. As you know, temperature, pressure and grind are the three ingredients that make good espresso. This throws temperature control out the window and would make the temperature wildly swing depending upon the speed and volume of the extraction. Warm up time is crazy too, as you have to boil a pot of water. Most machines take around 30-40 seconds, but Breville has really perfected this and their new machines come up to temp in a miraculous 3 seconds.

Besides that, anyone who has used an espresso machine knows that there's quite a bit of resistance when locking in a portafilter so that it seals properly. This thing looks like it would move off your countertop before the portafilter would lock in. Do you have to hold the legs with one hand while you lock the portafilter or something?
Why shouldn't a high-performance concurrent GC implementation enter the standard library? I think it might be quite useful if it did, for the rare use case where possibly-cyclical graph structures make sense and Arc<> is not quite enough.

> read a paragraph out loud on the spot and sound natural

As someone who reads aloud a lot, I contend that this is a subtly different process than simply reading quietly on your own, and something that must be practiced. You need to set up a "reading system" and a "speaking system" and have them operate independently, like a drummer doing a polyrhythm or like patting your head and rubbing your stomach at the same time. You also have to throttle your "reading system" to a slower pace than is natural to fluent readers reading silently. They say that poorer readers "sub-vocalize" which limits their reading speed -- well, fully vocalizing does too. All this to say that you can't conclude someone is a poor reader just because they can't read aloud naturally; nor even can you conclude that someone good at reading aloud is a particularly great silent reader.
I run a club for a certain car.

The thing is, people generally don't want to be responsible for organizing meetups. Many will happily attend but not host.

My guess is you need to find community leaders who can handle and own the responsibilities involved with hosting meets in their areas.

At the end of the day I don't think a website is going to help convince people to take on that kind of role. It's more of a personality thing.

With my club, we use Facebook events and generally just screenshot the details and further disperse them that way to discord, slack, instagram, etc. But none of that is enough alone for someone to host. Even when it's as simple as picking a meet location and time and sending out invites.
I agree that the big difference is between short and long form reading.

i do not think this is discipline so much as inclination. I never had to discipline myself to read a book I enjoyed (whether fiction or non-fiction). Some books grip me so much it takes discipline to but the down.

What this seems to show is that long form reading has significant effects on your brain, developing the ability to read long form. I am not clear on whether they have shown which way the causality runs: maybe having a brain adapted to long form reading just makes you more likely to do it. It could even run both ways?

Paper is a lot easier to read than a screen, even a modern 4k monitor is harder on the eyes than paper (I have no tried epaper displays). Paper also provides a lot more resolution, sometimes when the code is tricky the only sane option is to print out all 3 chains worth of that class (you can should turn that into sensible measurements via your favorite unit converted to get a sense of scale, but I think you will agree chains is the correct measure), spread it out on the floor with a pen and start reading and cross referencing things.
The Rust philosophy is to add as little as possible to the standard library, for many reasons, but particularly because otherwise you have to update your compiler to get library updates (which also means long release cycles).

This is why there are various "de facto standard" crates for basic things like regexes or error handling that would be built-in in other languages.
Investigation of Maillard reaction products in plant-based milk alternatives
A Sufi Murshid lived in the same village his entire, long life. The village had one intersection with only the masjid at the center, but not many buildings in either direction along the road. Because he was conscious the entire time his soul traveled during sleep, and because it travels at the speed of thought, he said, "I know the stars of the Milky Way better than the two roads in my village."

Castaneda's Don Juan speaks that our discounting the journeys of the soul as not happening in merely a different dimension of reality is not the proper perspective. That said, many/most/? of our dreams are occuring in our mind's imagination, not the external multi-dimensional universe.

Our soul is "magnetically" confined to our physical body while we remain conscious. Its journeys have been called "astral travel" and most people are not conscious during them because so very few of us live intensional, conscientious waking lives.
"If there are abuses"

So far there have been zero murder convictions for the KNOWN abuses. Bleeding hearts will downvote this knowing full-well the truth is that they are lowering the bar to the point anyone can be euthanized for any reason. "Mental Health" is an awfully wide net and described specifically in the article which it appears no one has read.

Unfortunately, it seems HN suffers from this pseudo-fascist "Altruism". "Ending the incalculable suffering" was the same justification the Nazis used for their euthanasia program. Virtually the same words too. "Mental health" was a reason thousands upon thousands of children and adults were euthanized. Sorry, this position cannot be compromised with. Euthanasia inevitably leads to mass murder. Very progressive of us to repeat history.

Yes. Also, nscd is irrelevant in at least a few ecosystems. Java and (I think) Go try to do their own resolving instead of using libc. Java's resolver, in particular, is braindead in the default configuration: infinite record caching, ignoring TTLs.

systemd-resolved solves this, as does running unbound or similar as a local cache.

I found this spec a bit strange. Maximum dose is a function of the basket AND the coffee, both of which are up to the user, so I don't understand why this is in the machine's specs.

> Basket style: Naked/non-pressurized (And it better stay like this)

Naked refers to the portafilter not having spouts, it has nothing to do with the basket. And what if I prefer to use a spouted portafilter and/or a pressurized basket? This feels unnecesarily confrontational.
To complete your post and the parent: most Rust applications don't need GC. Lifetimes, Box and Rc or Arc will generally amply cover all your needs.

For a few applications, though (e.g. a JavaScript VM, or something that deals with complex graph structures with unpredictable lifetimes), a GC is a lifesaver. Even in these applications, most of the data structures won't need GC pointers. Rust has a few GCs at hand, and lets you opt-in to GC specific pointers. In theory, this means that the GC can be extremely fast, because the graphs it needs to walk will be much smaller than in languages with a general-purpose GC. The cost, of course, is that you, as a developer, need to pay attention to what needs a GC and what doesn't.
It's not a slippery slope if it's real. They even describe the slope slipping in TFA if you are even capable of reading.
I'd say you're on the right track, then! It's kind of like software — figure out how the components talk to each other and figure out where to hook in. Instead of APIs, you've got multimeters and oscilloscopes.

In the case of the blind automation, the remote uses some kind of proprietary wireless signal. Instead of figuring that out, I soldered some leads into the remote's momentary button terminals, which I connected to transistors on a breadboard. The ESP32 simply pretends to press a button and complete a connection on the remote.

Also check out ESPHome (https://esphome.io), a firmware for ESP32 that lets you more easily integrate with home automation systems.
Code Review for Simple Command Interpreter in Python
I made this simple command interpreter for a work project. It's so simple that I think there are probably dozens or hundreds of things like this out there.

I'm hoping to get some feedback on the code, recommendations for making it better while maintaining its feature-set and simplicity. I'd like to improve my coding skills and I think feedback is probably the best way for me to do that.

I do have some specific questions:

- how would I implement type-hinting in this?

- What other functionality needs to find its way into the interpreter? One of the things I've been thinking about is command flags + args. Right now resolving that will be up to the user, but I think we might be able to do something clever with dict/tuple unpacking.

I also hope this can be useful for others.

(If this reeks of 'list parser', there's a reason. :D)

The only way this type of thing takes off today is if it gets reviews. I am sure he will send out test devices to the usual suspects and we will see third party reviews.

I think people are being a bit harsh about the site and presentation. I think most of the criticisms are legitimate, but it is only fair to recognize the trends right now; it is no better or worse than most any other new product website - which tend to be similarly devoid of real information, no matter how much the product might cost.

From looking at the site and reading his comments here, this is a soft-launch / teaser, and he seems receptive to feedback. I look forward to seeing how things progress. I especially look forward to some solid videos showing everything in action. As with all things coffee, I can only be cautiously optimistic. But that means he is doing great :)

Mary Lou Jepsen of openwater.cc [2] has managed to image neurons and other large cell structures deep inside living bodies by phase wave interferometry and descattering signals through human tissues, even through skull and bone[1] using CMOS imageing chips, lasers, ultrasonics and holographics. A thousand times cheaper fMRI. She aims to get to realtime million pixels moving picture resolutions of around a micron. Eventually she will be able to read and write neurons or vibrate and someday maybe burn cell tissues to destruction.

There are later presentations at the website where the technique is better described and visualized, but [1] is a good quick place to start and judge if you want to study their brainscanner in more depth. There are patents and a few scientific publications [3] that I'm aware of, but mostly many up to date talks with demonstrations by startup founder Mary Lou [4]. And recently she is open sourcing[5] parts of the hardware and software on github [6] so we can start building our own lab setups and improve the imageing software.
