Perhaps we made the mistake of thinking that the people who "don't like being told to what[sic] say/think/do" actually had something resembling principles rather than a petty and childish desire to dictate what others are allowed to say/think/do.
It was inspired by KSQL! But really KSQL isn't a database, it just gives you some sql processing. Nobody stands up Kafka and KSQL when they want database of any kind.

The difference is that I'm building a database and exposing the WAL to the application layer. What that means is that you can connect your legacy DB application and have it issuing insert and update queries which are now native messages on a distributed message queue. Suddenly you gain a conokete audit trail for your entities without brittle tables and triggers to track this. Then instead of hooking up Qlik or devezium, you can just stand up another instance of the DB, propagate the realtime WAL and you've got streaming analytics - or whatever new application you want.
Because it's not a slow boil, not anymore. The executive is flaunting TROs, conducting deportations without due process, openly flirting with the idea of stripping citizenship and talking about a third term.

Anyone who should have payed attention to Project 2025 but "remained calm" instead should now pay attention to the McCarthy II plan from the same source. They are telling us who they are and we should listen to them.
Everything you've tried seem like "normal things". Maybe you need to do something really different.

If you can, travel. But not as you might normally travel, get right out of your comfort zone. Travel to very different cultures, places where you don't speak the language, travel very cheaply. Cheap travel is slow travel and that gives you time to be alone with yourself, which might help. Don't plan anything, if you can. This travel doesn't have to be international. If you live in a large country there are places you can go, cultures you haven't seen, things you haven't seen, modes of transport you haven't tried.

Start something substantial. Learn to fly, power or glider. If you are near the ocean try scuba-diving. Join a car racing club. Anything. A club environment can help because, to some extent, others depend on you, and that can help you too.

You are down, but you should realize that no matter how low you think you are, there are others worse off than you. One possibility is to try to help some of those others. You do have some experience of what it feels like.

Whatever you think you might try, don't say "I don't want to start, I'm not interested enough". Just get started, burn your boats, get committed. After getting started resist the thought of bailing. See how it goes.

Ultimately it all depends on you. A life has many twists and turns. Good luck.

Thermodynamically speaking, the energy in tides does come from Earth's rotation.

The moon raises a bulge in Earth's crust and ocean. Earth's rotation carries that bulge ahead of the Moon's position. The bulge pulls the Moon forward (raising it to a higher orbit), while the Moon pulls the bulge backward (slowing Earth's rotation.)

Once Earth's rotation slows enough, tidal lock is reached. Then the tidal bulge stays in a single place always pointed at the relatively non-moving overhead Moon, and there is no motion to extract energy from.
It's possible, but much less likely since they controlled for demographics and cited a number of related studies that show comparable effects.
It accounts for it substantially better than the government whisking him away. I laid out the hypothesis in full here:

Again, pure speculation, as is everything right now.
Because the agency that arrested her told us why she was arrested, and it was "supporting terrorism" ie writing an oped opposing israel's genocide, when they certainly have no hesitation to mention the crimes when they are there??

Oh and the agency already has a well documented history of arresting innocent people? Look up "ice collateral arrests" "autism awareness deportation" or "soccer coach deported for real madrid inspired tattoo" or "tourist arrested" or "tourist held at border" to get a litany of examples. I'm sorry I pay closer attention to the erasure of our civil liberties than you do.

Of course I'm not judging the situation based solely on the video. I actually read about the case, but when I searched for the video that was just the first link.

I (clearly falsely) expected six plainclothes feds tossing a PhD student in to the back of an unmarked van would resonate more with the crowd here... I figured if you cared you'd look more in to it, rather than rush to defend the regime... Silly me, I guess.
We like to blame the students, but there is probably some adjustments that could be made to the system. I think people like to start with "college is a place where you become well-rounded", but nobody ever tells you the value of being well-rounded. Like, do you get money for that? Are there jobs where you have to be well-rounded? I am pretty students just want to have a future where they have a comfortable job and make "enough" money. So, is that what colleges actually provide? The answer seems like "no". We have always done it that way, so we're going to keep doing it that way, but ... why? If it's not working, you've gotta change something. What kinds of jobs do people want to have in the future, and what skills prepare them to be successful? (I'm guessing people that go into the general "college" track don't know yet, so why isn't the first year about trying to figure that out? There are probably hundreds of fulfilling and valuable careers that I have never even heard of!)

We act like there is a one size fits all solution to education, but there really isn't. Some of us had it very easy. When I was growing up, I liked science, so I read every kids science book I could get out of the library. That's how I learned reading comprehension; by reading things that would be interesting to comprehend. And having an interest lets it cascade; people pick up on your interest and customize the rest of your academic career for that specific interest. I went to a special math and science high school. We did research. We built things and learned the math behind engineering. I then went to college for engineering. Pretty easy to figure out "what actually matters" in that context. The question is... what do we do for everyone else? Sometimes people don't show a clear interest in something that early, and it's pretty important to be interested.

Also gotta say, if I was in the professor's class, I probably wouldn't have done the reading and would have turned in similarly shitty papers. (OK, OK, not as bad as the example provided, but probably just as careless and ... wrong.) I'm not illiterate, but sometimes a subject simply doesn't interest me, and I'm not going to spend times on things that aren't interesting or valuable. I wouldn't expect this professor to be particularly interested in reading or comprehending anything I wrote, for example. Write me a 500 word essay on why Nix is just a Jsonnet file with extra steps. He'd probably get an F and would tell me it doesn't matter, because you know what, it doesn't really! Different people like different things, and you can still be a valuable member of society while having near-zero interest in somebody else's field. (Having said that, I do read fiction occasionally. But ya know, if the book is boring, I just stop reading it and nobody gets in trouble.)

I do think that phones and short videos and all that is probably not great for society, but people are looking at something to keep their mind occupied, and that's the easiest thing. What are we doing to give people better things to be occupied by? Nothing? A 12 week course on existentialism? Hmm, maybe that's the problem.
An oversimplification is that people voted against the status quo, not necessarily "for" Trump. Since the US only has a two-party system, the actual policies were irrelevant.
I am getting more and more convinced that CI and CD should be completely separate environments. Compromise of CI should not lead to token leaks related to CD.
I'm really focusing less on the idea that Dict the data type with it's associated methods is like a function, and more on the idea that a dictionary in the general sense is a mapping of input values to output values, and you can think of functions that way.

That said, there are some pretty reasonable analogies to be made between common dictionary operations and functions.

For example, adding and removing items can be done with function composition so long as you are okay with partial lookups. Here's a really short example I put together:

module Example where
import Control.Applicative

type Dict a b = Eq a => a -> Maybe b

emptyDict :: Dict a b
emptyDict = const Nothing

singleton :: a -> b -> Dict a b
singleton k v target
| k == target = Just v
| otherwise = Nothing

unionDict :: Dict a b -> Dict a b -> Dict a b
unionDict dict1 dict2 k = dict1 k <|> dict2 k

insertDict :: a -> b -> Dict a b -> Dict a b
insertDict k v dict = singleton k v `unionDict` dict

removeDict :: a -> Dict a b -> Dict a b
removeDict k dict target
| k == target = Nothing
| otherwise = dict k

This particular representation of dictionaries isn't necessarily something you'd really want to do, but the general approach can be quite useful when you start working with something like GADTs and you end up with things like:

data Smaller a where
SmallerInt :: Smaller Int
SmallerBool :: Smaller Bool

data Larger a where
LargerInt :: Larger Int
LargerBool :: Larger Bool
LargerString :: Larger String

someLarger :: Larger x -> x
someLarger l =
case l of
LargerInt -> 5
LargerBool -> True
LargerString -> "foo"

embedLarger ::
(forall x. Larger x -> Smaller x) ->
(forall smallerI. Smaller smallerI -> r) ->
(forall largerI. Larger largerI) -> r
embedLarger mapping fromSmaller larger = fromSmaller (mapping larger)

(I'm actually co-authoring a talk for zurihac this year on this pattern, so I have quite a bit more to say on it, but probably not ideal to cram all of that into this comment).
Are you asking why america has a republican form of government designed to minimize the power of the majority of the population?

Well, partly because travel and communications were extremely slow when the constitution was written, but mostly because the rich land owners (and white males) were the ones writing it.

> outright banning them only makes them into forbidden fruit

I think it should be fine to outright ban them in certain contexts, like classroom learning; just as they are outright banned (usually) in theaters or playhouses or places of worship.

And to cite your example, even in the most liberal jurisdictions I think it's not acceptable for students to take drugs in the classroom. Phones are basically the same thing.
The article and study are both explicit that natural gas wouldn't have been an issue (the leak was fixed and the gas was gone). The impact from the filters would be from other indoor air pollutants.

It's because academia has, from antiquity to just vaguely recently, been a playground for the children of the rich to either pursue erudite passions or just to schmooze and make friends with other rich people's kids.

For normal people there wasn't a lot of point. Jobs didn't require these. My father, who just retired, had a high school education with no college, yet held what would nowadays require a bachelors in mechanical engineering, at a minimum. He himself considers himself quite lucky to have basically been the last person onto the no-degree train to the middle class.

I think to some degree this is a matter of capital formation not keeping pace with the general increase in education access for the rest of the workforce. We're educating people but our system struggles to produce companies that can gainfully employ them. And by "our system", I do think there's a nontrivial factor in bigcos conspiring to not ever run the labor market as hot as they did in the past decade. They'd rather grow slower than let employees have bargaining power.

> Why is it a good model to allow some software engineer "at a distance" to enforce whether some downstream user must drop every other priority and upgrade?

It's not a good model, and that's why this only forced in commercial software or in particularly obnoxious projects, like earlier versions of Ubuntu Snap. Every other case is user's choice - package managers have lock files; automated updates can be disabled; docker images can be referenced by SHA; etc...

That's not to say that infrastructure does not break - there plenty of horrible setups out there... but if you discover you "must drop every other priority and upgrade", then maybe spend some time making your infra more stable? Commit that lockfile (or start saving dev docker containers, if you can't), stop auto-deploying latest changes and make sure you keep previous builds around, instead of blaming software ecosystem and upstream authors.
You're assuming that the hypothetical university personnel responsible for the cleanup of the mess thought the whole thing through clearly and weren't in hardcore firefighting mode and reacting in ways that would seem to make sense at the time but didn't take all the facts into account. I see no reason to assume that level of intentionality.
Well, are you reading it properly? It seems like they have to be cheaper since

> According to personal finance platform ValuePenguin, UnitedHealthcare denies 32% of claims compared to the industry average of 16%.

Since there are laws mandating they have to pay out a certain amount, they can't just pay out less than other insurance companies. So either they have lower premiums, meaning it wasn't the CEO that caused the deaths, it was the person choosing a cheap health insurance, or they have more expensive patients covered, which leads to the same conclusion the insurance needs to get more expensive to cover those patients.

I don't see how the CEO is evil here, if he makes a worse insurance but is more affordable to people?

I guess people read this "Under his leadership, profits for UnitedHealthcare surged from $12 billion in 2021, to more than $16 billion in 2023", and think they get more profits by denying more people, but that didn't happen since their revenue shot up proportionally. They pay out the same fraction as before.

So all you show here is you are easily misled by statistics, that caused an innocent man to get murdered and now you celebrate.

Edit: Its also possible he said "Lets focus on life saving treatments and deny the cheaper claims", and thus denial rate shot up since now they cover more life saving treatments than other insurance companies. But still they paid out the same fraction of everyone else, they didn't earn profits by denying people that is just a lie.

To be clear, I hope it’s followed; I’m just not confident it will be.

Nayib Bukele is limited to one term by the Salvadoran constitution. He’s currently on his second. Turns out that if nobody stops you, you can just do whatever you want.
While I’m with you on attention economy I think it’s simplification of what’s going on:

– we had very dysfunctional legislature for last 20+ years

– quality of life is falling for majority of people

This contributes to feeling of unfairness in the society which pushes authoritarian and populist ideas.

Totally agree. Unless the use of the computer is integral to the material at hand (learning to program, learning to solve problems numerically, modeling) it is superfluous. Tons of dough spent on making it "modern" just for the sake of it.
I am building https://www.videocrawl.dev/, an AI companion web application that enhances the video-watching and learning experience. Since I primarily learn from videos, I built this to improve my learning workflow. It is free to use.

It offers standard features like chatting with videos, summarization, FAQs, note-taking, and extracting sources mentioned in the video. We're taking it a step further by extracting relevant information from video frames and making it easily accessible.

I usually settle on this design: https://hackaday.io/project/184643-schrdingers-trigger

The zener design works well, but I find the signal it produces is a little too fast to sample conveniently (it works a bit too well). The two-transistor design produces a similar but slower signal. 2N5551 works nicely.

Then one hex inverter configured as a cheap two-stage inverting amplifier, and another that cleans up the signal into nice 5V with sharp transitions. An optoisolator is another option for the second stage, but adds another part to the design.

Then I shove a Von Neumann extractor on an Attiny261A (high bandwidth parallel output) or Attiny10 (if just true/false output), I have a little assembly program for that. It takes the signal in, and outputs 8 bits out in parallel, plus one bit that toggles every time a new output is ready. It's not power efficient, I never use this design on a battery, so I never optimized for sleep modes and so on. Instead I optimized to push a little more bandwidth out and try to sample the signal in a balanced way.

Finally, I just grab that with something like a Pi Pico or ESP32 and push it out MQTT. I get something like 100-300 bytes per second depending on the voltage I'm driving the transistors at (anything over 13V gets a little spicy for the first hex inverter, but add a heatsink to it, and it's fine).

I have some KiCAD files for a finished board for all this, also has space for a boost converter (the transistors need 10-12V usually to generate a nice signal). I just finished it yesterday, if you leave me your contact I'm happy to let you know when I publish it. Otherwise, just check here in like 1-2 weeks and I'll probably have it up by then: https://github.com/seanboyce/

Considering the impact of the immunity decision last year I'm thinking that adage isn't actually true.
I suspect the majority of our disagreement boils down to different perspectives on what we consider fraud.
Case in point: I was at an arcade the other day where they had a Beat Saber VR setup. At one point they reset the machine, which displayed a Dell UEFI boot-up splash, followed by some version of Windows 10 initializing, connecting to some arcade VPN, and then booting the game. At my wife's friend's ice cream shop which has its own attached arcade where a day pass gets you all the games you want, there are virtual pinball tables which I've seen boot similarly.

It is, indeed, just a PC with a custom software stack built on top of Windows. Some old-style arcade machines you see in the wild these days are really just PCs, or maybe ARM SBCs, running a library of ROMs via MAME, legally or illegally!
I would prefer a higher signal to noise ratio. For example, Radio Free Asia is a project of the federal government. Defunding it is a political decision. Freedom of the press does not mean the government is obligated to fund media nonprofits it has funded in the past.

If those sounding alarms don't distinguish between political decisions they disagree with and violations of our rights, they will lose credibility ala Boy Who Cried Wolf, and struggle to mobilize people when it really matters.

i’m assuming this is a system that changes the numbers in the question each time? often there is a separate “practice” button where you can practice and (maybe) get feedback, figure out the process, and then do the questions?

even if not, try putting the textbook and the question into an AI (I use the paid version of gemini, the $20/ month is the best money you’ll ever spend at college), then as it to explain how to answer the question. Then ask it to generate a similar question, and then give you feedback to you as you try to answer it. Then try and answer it step by step, repeat as many times as you like until you understand and keep getting the right answer, then answer the actual homework question.Feel free to dm me if you want to discuss!
