There are different fields of science. In my field (water resources), any scientist that is reasonable knows the climate change is happening, you can see it in any data that spans for last 50 years. We’re focused on how to deal with it, given it’ll get worse. All the future scenarios (from simulations) are worse than history, there’s less worse and more worse depending on how people will act. But I think even the worst case did not have “world war” into consideration. So we might have wayy worse than our predictions. But again, predicting future is hard, there could be effects that we’re not expecting. Specially the current geopolitical scenario when climate change (and greed) is making life hard leading into authoritative regimes which is making it worse on top of previous policies. Which exceeds the linear growth pattern used in the simulations.

Like, I don’t think a lot of simulation took into account “what if we get rid of all the environmental protection policies?”, maybe a little because they are looking at a lot of different scenarios, but not to this degree, because we didn’t expect this to happen 10 years ago.

This is one of the things I don’t understand about west, Grandparents and family are a big part of raising children in Asia. Anyone with their first baby will be confused, and won’t know what to do if they have never done it before.

How it works in Asia (at least my culture),

• Grandparents teach and take care of baby, letting the mother rest and breastfeed. They have seen and gone through multiple baby raising themselves,
• other siblings help, even younger siblings, that means when it’s their turn they also have some idea and experience on the matter,
• you also help with cousins and other people occasionally, so even the eldest children have some experience with babies,
• many communities have volunteers that help with new moms on new suggestions from government. Like when we changed from carrying baby on the back, to carrying them in the front for warmth and safety. So this balances tradition with new knowledge on what is best.

This is the knowledge transfer part. There is the whole part where this support means a lot for recovering mothers.

Watch frieren

Considering they just hold back packages, but do not do additional testing to release them, yeah, they should not do that.

Arch already has testing repo, normal repo packages on arch are already stable enough

It was in my school.

People that gamble are mostly the students that didn’t pay attention in class anyway.

Smart people only ‘gamble’ when the rules benefits them.

Lol, I just made one of my friend try mint…

It is really good when I’m already using something, so I contribute to it because there’s something I wanna fix or add.

But when I’m feeling an itch to make something, then contributing can’t help because I don’t wanna go search for similar projects. I just wanna build.

“professionally” requires having a job, so that is very hard rn. (Someone hire me)

I recommend you gnu parallel. It does similar things, but runs the commands in parallel. And it’s way easier to pipe than xargs. If you really need it to run one command at a time you can give number of cores to 1. And it also has progress bars, colors to differentiate stdout fo different commands, etc.

Basic example: to echo each line

parallel echo < somefile.txt

To download all links, number of jobs 4, show progress

parallel -j 4 --bar ''curl -O" < links.txt

You can do lot more stuffs with inputs, like placing them wherever with {}, numbers ({1} is first) that allow multiple unique arguments, transformers like remove extension, remove parent path, etc. worth learning

During Superbowl I was talking with a software guy working for a big shopping ( data) company, he was telling us how every interaction on their website is recorded for data analysis, and his own wife was shocked. It came up after I prompted for that conversation, talking about the license plate tracking in parking lots (which she didn’t know about).

We have a good system for Superbowl with my friends, we gather in a place and whoever is there for game enjoys the game, while others do chores (prep food and such), and those that are there for halftime shows and things enjoy those, and the game guys do chores and help around during that time.

Sure, if we can share config like that it could work for many people. I still want to see something that dynamically downloads the shared libraries/dlls for tools you add, but that requires complete rewrite. Maybe we can do it with imagemagick scripts

Now I’m thinking why don’t we make an image editor that we can customize the simple UI. Like users choose which sliders and tools to put on the ui, it’ll be simple UI with like just 5-10 buttons/sliders/tools, but you van customize it to have basically anything. That way you can simply drag drop tools make new UI and then use it for specific use cases.

Maybe already existing tools have that options. Or maybe we need to make a new one, in that case, it’d be nice if we could just add all different tools in dlls or sth, so that you can only download/keep the tools you use.

Greed and overconsumption is the main problem. Even if we find the cheapest and environmental friendly fuel source, they’ll increase the use all the way up and make new problems. We need to replace previous fuel use by new ones, not just add new ones and still keep old ones and use far more power than before.

In that case you can probably find someone for $100-200 that’ll check your excel logic and make sure it works on libre office. Or python script

How much do you pay? Maybe you can pay someone to write you a custom program to do those things. Maybe in libre office, or python, or some other language with gui and plots.

I like not seeing people’s pictures in discussions.

I feel like I get a diverse opinion from people of all age, race, and other background. And we are united on our common interests in the topic without an implicit bias.

It might have shortcomings, and my case is for not having your real picture in your profile.

I haven’t really gone full typst on notes. But honestly my notes are mostly just texts, so it doesn’t really matter what I’m writing it in. I should be able to get it to typst with a few find and replace for old one. Math will be easier in typst, so I’m at least writing the new notes in typst when I need those.

But I think for future notes I’ll do typst, specially if I have to share those notes it’s easier to send PDFs. Many of my colleagues get confused if I send markdown, so I had to export them to pdf for sharing anyway.

Typst.

Best thing after LaTeX. LaTeX was still better than word or other alternatives for pdf generation. But for notes I just used markdown. Typst just took the best of two worlds. It’s fast, accurate, intuitive, little boiler plate, and flexible.
