Now imagine that knife stabbings became so common that almost everyone started wearing body armor and you start selling body armor defeating knives explicitly. I can honestly see why most people would be upset about that.

To me it seems like magic that we possess the ability to analyse the structure of a chemical sample and then synthesize it. That is real life alchemy.

I know about some of these technologies for analysing samples. But they're all expensive as far as I know. E.g. I think home labs still use things like reagents / color change tests to get an idea if a synthesis succeeded. I wonder if there are any ways to do chemical analysis that are cheap though?

Personally I love these kinds of backshed science sites. The creepy crazy uncle vibe is the best part!

Where does this person claim to have discovered free energy though? Personally I hold Sparkbangbuzz as quite different from the likes of RexResearch.

Incidentally, or not, it strikes me that the free energy sites rarely contain any logs of practical experiments. Just endless lists of archived PDFs.
It’s perverse and demonic.

Many people have the worst days or weeks or years that they look back on and are grateful for the life they live later, physically disabled, paralyzed, elderly, etc. During the darkest of times is when we have to care for each other, not offer a knife so to speak. Even when many during these times would’ve wanted to die and suffer greatly. It’s part of life. This is absolutely sick in a civilized society, but leave it to that murderous thug Trudeau.

In my view, if the project is of such marginal value that a precise estimate is needed, don't even start the project - instead, find something more valuable to work on.

Some good answers here, but I hate that this has been downvoted. It is a valid and reasonable question - we shouldn't be downvoting questions like some echo chamber Reddit thread.

Prime numbers are a core and mysterious numeric progression that has the unique property of being very taxing to determine the factors of any sufficiently large number. This is why they are used in cryptography. Investigations into the nature of primes has produced many mathematical tools and they have bridged many different areas of mathematics together.

But the simplest answer is that prime numbers are a tantalizing mystery that is easy for anyone to understand. The deeper you dig, the deeper the hole gets and it almost doesn't matter if a satisfying "answer" is ever found. Primes are a McGuffin that has led to countless discoveries.
PDFs are not simply a representation of postscript. Over the years Adobe has added all sorts of scripting and code execution environments, which are regularly exploited. It supports a lot of image formats, opening yet more attack vectors. It allows plugin integration with every major business app, another wide set of attack surfaces.

Here, for example, is but one of the scripting engines https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/applying-actions-scrip...

Excellent research and great output, this is something that I wanted for a long time, a movable timeline that shows the civilization at that time. Thanks for building this!

One improvement that I suggest is for the timeline. Currently if I have to go to the past/future, I have to move the timeline knob to the extreme left/right, and the timeline will jump. Instead of that if I can drag the timeline to the desired era and click on the timeline to place the knob (or something like that) it will be easy to use.

What is equally puzzling to me: "No one" is talking about what happens to women after they decide to stop doing sex work (I consider any sexual content on OF as sex work). What are the mental effects? Are they able to form meaningful, healthy, long-lasting relationships? I doubt it. Also, does it have effect on their employability?
I can't tell if this article is trying to make it seem like a negative or not.

3rd wave coffee shops all look like that because they started during peak farm to table aesthetic. It's funny because it was born out of the answer to 1990s strip-mall sameness where you'd find Chilis and Starbucks.

Now that people are getting bored of farm to table, it'll be on to something else. When we look back in 50 years, all of this "sameness" the author is pointing towards will mostly just be here to define 2010-2020, with whatever name historians decide to call it.

Beautiful sentiment, also in other areas of life, thank you.
I think Chomsky's theories became popular in anglophone linguistic circles (and later in the rest of the world) because their math-like structure and close applicability to computer science. They've proven to be useful in some cases, but there has been no proof of a universal grammar. The fact that you can create a formal system to represent an idea, is not a proof by any stretch of that definition.

This is why some people would even go as far as classifying Chomsky's theories as pseudo-science (see one of the replies to GP). I wouldn't go as far, but considering the almost toxic disdain Chomsky himself has to every linguist who is not interested in researching his supposed Universal Grammar (he has famously compared structural and functional linguistics to "butterfly collectors"), we should view this theory with more criticism.

The Scala.js compiler toolchain has been using similar techniques since 2015 by default. It features parallel and incremental whole-program optimizations, so it is also used for release builds. In fact it's so fast we run most advanced optimizations in development builds as well.

For those interested in more details, we published a paper about it in OOPSLA'16 [1].

I was recently on a project and out of the 10+ devs on it I was the only one who really knew about robots.txt, or at least the only one who said hey that robots.txt needs to handle internationalized routes, the default ones we disallow are all in English.

I don't say that makes them bad, they just knew other things, so I can totally not have my mind boggled that someone launched a product like this and didn't take obeying robots.txt into consideration and then adds it to the todos when someone complains.
The comments suggesting “subtle differences at best” remind me of visual design discussions with people (usually engineers) who have low awareness or different perception of visual nuance. Working in photography grading and graphic design, as I have, can attune your visual sensitivity to notice the space between the eyes and brow as significant. However, I would say the range of variation is low.

Don't look into higher math...
Pretty sure Windows comes by default with the Powershell ISE, although it's not developed further anymore. It also only comes with the .NET runtime, not the SDK.
Installing VSCode and some extensions would get you pretty far though.
Native speakers have an inventory on the order of 30,000 ~ 40,000 words, and it takes them 30 years for their vocab to reach its peak. I had an Anki deck I built up over a 2 year period containing 17.5k vocab for Japanese and I would still frequently encounter words I didn't know.

If you don't actually know the meanings of the words, they may as well be random. What do you have to remember them by if you have no meaning to attach to them?

It's not even an insane feat. It's inhuman.
The answer is very strictly no.

Your comment/question seems to assume that somehow accurate classification of performance is possible, which is demonstrably false assumption.

First, if somehow system-internal watchdog was able to detect erroneous outputs for training, it would also be able to stop those outputs propagating to control system live, leading to zero errors. Such a watchdog requires self driving to be quantified analytically, leaving implementation entirely testable and therefore control system not passing the testsuite (i.e. exhibiting erroneous behavior, i.e. still having "edge cases") not deployable in public. Many words to say that that in practice with driving being somewhat loosely defined you need humans in the training loop.

Second, vehicle operators are not only unqualified to accurately monitor behavior of these autonomous systems, in part due to not being formally trained on safety systems in general and the system they are monitoring in particular, but on top of that incentivized to underreport erroneous output.

My prediction has been that we are going to see increased number of accidents with ADAS deployments, not less, before the number can start dwindling.
i would like to highlight, and not discredit, the great work valve has done for the linux ecosystem, namely in getting arch based distros to a quality that hacker news comments can write it off as “emulating windows”

for example, all my non-windows, non-steam gamepad support stems from valve investing in improving upstream compatibility to where devices just work, without needing to go to a vendor website to download an .exe for a driver— now that’s emulating windows.

For PowerShell there is the PowerShell ISE (ISE.exe) which is included out of the box, I think. But that's a far cry from the simplicity of BASIC, of course. And I guess the modern equivalent is probably JavaScript in the browser, but that's a whole other can of worms for beginning programming.
The most widely ones run JS. And the majority of pdf exploits are not js, but a wide mix over all the things a pdf reader supports.

I had my midlife crisis as a student in Cornwall, listening to Pink Floyd's Wish you were here, in the bath. It lasted about 45 mins.
I do the same, but I think it's because we were taught to be polite and to conduct conversations in a certain way.

Do you put effort into being polite when ChatGPT makes a mistake and you correct it? Do you try to soften the blow to avoid hurting its "feelings"? Do you feel bad if you respond impolitely? I don't.
This reminds me of a sketch by one of my favorite comedians, which roughly translates to this:

"No thanks necessary"
"But i explicitly wanted to give you my thanks!"
"Sorry about that."
"Well thanks for nothing!"
"You're welcome"

I've noticed this in many categories, where almost everything in the category converges extremely specifically on qualities that I simply... do not like, at all. For example, laptops and the "thin and light" fad.

I may have different needs from the average person, but why does nobody else have these needs? Am I the only autistic person on the planet, the only software developer on the planet, the only person on the planet who likes to be productive on a laptop? The only person on the planet who practically lives in their laptop?

I think hopefully not, but this is like... probably under 1% of people. And you know, almost nobody caters to this niche because if you cater to the 99% (or more) instead, you make so much more money!

I fucking hate having special needs sometimes.

I actually don't think the exceptions are much of a problem overall. Most irregularities in a language happen with the most common words. Once you go from learning the most common words to simply learning all the words, the relative frequency of irregular formations that you encounter would go down dramatically.

What does is it look like? I was talking about this thing:

Val = 1, SumFun = fun(X) -> X + Val end, SumFun(2).

It looks like you define arity 1 function that captures Val, while in fact you define arity 2 function and bind 1 as a first argument. Since you can't redefine Val anyway, it's as good as a closure, but technically it doesn't capture the environment.

Maybe I'm mistaken and there is another way to express it?
> No they are not.

Yes they are. They encourage people to make the best bid they reasonably can based on their desire to ensure the purchase goes through. There's a reason they are the de facto standard for bidding on government contracts.

> Technically nobody knows what someone might be willing to pay.

This is correct. But what you don't seem to understand is that this also causes people to overbid. This is the reason why the vickrey method was created - to ensure that the highest bidder does not massively overpay against the second.

> That is why public auctions are the default.

Public auctions are the default for... what? Bankruptcy? In the US, yes. In Canada and other parts of the world, no. And default does not mean only option or best option.

> The only reason an auction should be private is to protect the identity or interests of the bidders.

They are frequently used explicitly because they often get the person selling the best offer. If the people bidding in auction have asymmetric purchasing power, in an open auction, the winning bid will be slightly over the purchasing power of the weaker party. In a sealed bid auction, the winning party will frequently have a bid with a larger delta than they would have in an open auction.

> Taking one round of bids from private parties is not an auction.

Nothing about the word 'auction' precludes a single round of bidding, sealed or otherwise.
This is the question from the survey:

It doesn't ask anything about preference and I wager most people don't have a say in OS for their jobs. Same reason that Microsoft Teams is the most "popular" synchronous tool, yet so low in the "admired" section.

That's not to say you're wrong, just that the data you linked to does not "back it up".
