here is a segment

> My sister was shot while she was walking her dogs in our small town in Alaska. The bullet ricocheted around piercing her bowel in 9 places. Even though we had one of the best Rhode's Scholar docs in the north at our ER and the only flight out of town was miraculously minutes away from takeoff and held up to fly her to Anchorage, she bled out and died on the operating room table. She knows because she vividly remembers everything the surgeons said as she lay dead on the table. What she told me later is remarkable: She recalls drifting up and into a very bright light. She was no longer in pain, and felt compelled to travel into the brilliance. It lead to an amazing river. Seriously, the look on her face when she describes this place helps me realize that radiant, endless joy is not just a possibility but an eventuality. She describes playing in a river that consisted of pure knowledge. Anything she ever wanted to know was at her fingertips. As she played in this amazing river she could sense figures on the distant shore. They were our people, she explained. Our family. Our animals. All waiting patiently for her to finish playing in the river and wade towards them on the shore. Though she was not ready to leave the marvelous river, she knew without being told that they would wait patiently and joyfully. But she never made it to the shore. As she was playing an amazing thing happened. Seriously, people, if you could see the look on her face when she describes this next part you would laugh for pure joy. A being approached her. She did not know what it was except to describe it as pure, unconditional, ebullient LOVE. It radiated love. It pulsed love. And ALL THINGS diminished before the radiance of that love. The next part makes me chuckle a bit even though that seems out of place. She said it spoke to her and said that she had to go back, that it wasn't her time. She said, like a little kid, "But I don't want to." When she recounts this experience she emphasizes that to be in proximity of that being is ALL THERE IS. She describes it as a completion. A peace. A welcoming. To leave was incomprehensible. But to decline was also incomprehensible. She felt infused with a purpose. Very, very, very reluctantly she returned to life. She is amazing. They patched her femoral artery and explained that the graft would eventually give. In all probability she will die within minutes. Living with that sword of Damocles should be terrifying. No. To her it's a promise that she will get to return. Life is what we are here to do, she explains, but after.....sweet, benevolent, all encompassing love. With every single breath my sister is heartbeats from death, and I have never met anyone who is more alive. Fearless.
Great work! I'm curious (for academic research), what's the "3 billion word corpus" that you trained the estimates with? Is it available somewhere?
I'm also one to sing the praises of emu developers, especially the ones who continue to push for accuracy even when all the games "seem to work." It's a truly challenging task to reverse it, recreate it to run speedily, and then make it presentable to the end-users, who don't care as long as it plays their favorite game.
Now is a good time to send a resume to IBM...
The 9/11 hijackers had flash cards with them?
Long one of the main reasons for
IBM mainframes was the bet your business
software that wouldn't run anywhere
else and that would be too expensive
to rewrite to run somewhere else.

Also, there is a remark that in major
parts of the financial industry, running
an IBM mainframe is nearly a necessary
condition for compliance.

Click-to-play can never be a security boundary, and you don't need to know anything about the inner workings of Chrome to know that it isn't a security boundary.

Any website can induce you to click somewhere using a psychological trick (for example, a "Next Page" link in an article). There would be no reason to be concerned--after all, merely following a link on a webpage can't be unsafe, right? (After all, you know better than to download software from untrusted sources, so you won't do that. You're just browsing pages.) Then it could use script to replace that link with a malicious plugin in the instant just before you are most likely to click. There--bypassed security boundary.

I find this "you don't need to know the inner workings" lesson analogous to a thought experiment I sometimes ask tech people. I quiz them: Can a USB storage drive harm your computer (install malware, etc.) merely by plugging it in, even if you know better than to run any executable files on it? The answer is (1) Yes, and (2) You don't need any specialized knowledge of how USB works to know this--you just need to know about the existence of USB keyboards. The USB device, despite appearing to be a thumb drive storage device, need merely identify itself as a keyboard, and it can start typing malicious commands after being plugged in.

Pretty off-topic, but what sports streams do you use? I'd love to ditch cable, but can't seem to find good replacements for sports.
Ok so you would be fine with 9.99 a monitor but more likely to buy if it was in a tiered package. Thanks!
"Whoso would be a man must be a nonconformist. He who would gather immortal palms must not be hindered by the name of goodness, but must explore if it be goodness. Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind. Absolve you to yourself, and you shall have the suffrage of the world." -- Ralph Waldo Emerson, Self-Reliance

People have to (be able to) say what they think or there will not be much thinking going on at all.
MacBooks strangely doesn't have NFC - IMO it's ultimate solution for U2F.
It sounds like you don't think people doing the same job you do don't deserve the same pay.

It comes across as classism to be honest, looking down your nose at people because they don't live in the most expensive areas of the country.
In Portugal, because everything you buy you need to provide your VAT number, even if you buy one coffee. And all medical are also electronic. And your employer also submit all the money you earn. Taxes are automatic. You just need to review and add extra stuff if needed. It takes about 10/15 min to do. Of course there are exceptions!
I'm not refuting gibberish, I am laughing at it.
So this is not a tutorial, but it can significantly help anyone doing his first Apache Kafka steps. I'm creating a desktop visualization tool that facilitates you to visualize what's in your topics and clusters without knowing about the very specifics of Apache Kafka.

You can try it out here https://kafkaide.com.

We also have a learning hub with articles like https://kafkaide.com/learn/consume-kafka-topic, which deep dives into many different ways to read data from Apache Kafka.

Please let me know if you think it is useful. I will try to answer everything I can :-)
I empathize with you. But I reject that it should fall upon Germany to learn English for your convenience or that the task of translating their texts should fall upon them. I guess I reacted (perhaps poorly) to GP's statement that Germany "really should start documenting their tech in English" which to me sounded rather preposterous.
The ignition can only take place after the mound has been ripped apart and a lot of gas has escaped and mixed with oxygen. There's no oxygen in the underground gas pocket.
Surely sometime about the turkey getting fatter each time complicates this example.
I disagree, their analysis is perfectly correct.

The more frequently you take a risk, the greater the chance that risk materialises.

Parent wants to lower their overall risk, but doesn't want to stop climbing entirely. So they climb less often.
Unless there is a coup or revolution, a bad government is elected and as is common in most democracies will hold as little as 30% of the vote for a while.

A law that already exists does not require further discussion or vote and can be perverted immediately.

So in addition of the benefit of not having historical data, it also delay or prevent its introduction.
Yes, you're absolutely right. Last year, in an attempt to "make it up to the fans," they added all of those extra "Stadium Series" outdoor games. Although I'd rather see more standard games, they're neat things to see.

A side note on the GoPro video on that site is similar to how I felt attending an actual game this year with really good seats: you don't fully get the sense of how fast the game moves and how incredibly talented these guys are as pushing a little rubber puck around ice. This video made me feel like I did watching it live and right in front of me: just wow.
What do machines think about machines that think?
I hope it works and is safe for the players. Hockey is one of those sports that looks like crud on a TV as opposed to having ok seats at an arena. Hockey is one of those sports that I have only met fans that became fans by watching a live game. Its not quite as bad for motorsports since TV seems ok for them, but in person is so much better.
That is quite amazing. I love his signature: http://techno-logic-art.com/images1/gislain_benoit.jpg
I think this depends on the game. You could probably watch 90% of a tennis match from a single player’s viewpoint and not miss much. The other issue is how well you can switch views. Basketball is probably way to fast paced, but you could watch most of a baseball game from a pitchers viewpoint, and only switch to the overview after a big hit/bunt etc which takes long enough that a camera operator can easily follow things. Stealing bases which is normally a fairly borning part of the game would also be much more interesting with a more limited view.

Football would be somewhere between those extremes.

Hockey probably works well from a ref's viewpoint as they try and watch the action, but stand far enough back to get decent coverage.
Governments deny a lot of things in public.
I thought of that but didn't care. I wrote this for me because it's fun. If someone wants to judge me because of it, it's their loss. Not mine.

It commits at a time when I absolutely never do so it can be distinguished as an anomaly.
"a project right now where I literally can’t attach a debugger or run locally" ... this is exactly where record-and-replay tools like rr can change the game. You can (potentially) run that code under rr on the remote machine --- without interrupting it, which is often problematic --- then upload the recording somewhere (e.g. Pernosco) for debugging.

> many people don't want to put in the effort to learn stuff that would benefit them immediately

I take it you're not counting yourself in that group? Have you already learned everything that would benefit you immediately?
You can probably use extended URL encoding for that, which is supported by at least body-parser [https://npmjs.com/package/body-parser]. Not sure about other PLs.
There's likely an interesting Ship of Theseus debate to be had about whether these are indeed thousand-year-old windmills, and whether it's accurate to consider the windmills build a thousand years ago to be "still standing".
The paper is focused on "computation", that seems to be defined as what happens on the CPU and the things directly connected to it, and ignores everything else.

I clicked expecting a paper about 4G networking.
I expect baseband hardware to be dominant as well.
I agree but dont let your self get conned into accepting markedly lower pay.

Also I suspect the politics might be worse in SME's than a start up or a Big company.

Oh and big telco Is bigger than a FANG when I worked for BT we had more developers in a single division that Google had employees in total
I first learned about Nomographs (that's what they were called there) in the Silent Hunter submarine simulations. The navigation map had one at the side to convert between time, distance and speed (know two of those, and quickly lookup the third value).
Por que no los dos?

Burnout is complex and seems to have multiple causes. But chief elements are 1) being overwhelmed and 2) having no sense of agency or effectiveness.

Being in a situation in which:

1) You have clear view of the problems.

2) Others around you deny they exist, and/or

3) Actively prevent you from addressing them, and/or

4) Fail to provide you the tools, time, staff, authority, or other resources to address the problem(s), and/or

5) Act, operate, or produce / deliver products in ways that are completely insufficient to the problem domain

6) Or other forms of denial, frustration, sabotage, etc., of an effective response ...

... I think that someone in such a situation would become both angry and burnt out.

In fact, I could empathise quite strongly with such feelings.
I think it is easy enough as it is. In principle 'URL' is the only property needed, that is quite easy to implement a parser for.

But, BTW, schema.org looks quite intriguing.
That is my main beef with developer testing "braindead unit tests" I see loads of tests if `int a = b;` really happened. But everyone feels good because they are doing unit testing as "gods of agile and TDD" lined out...

Try to say that such test is useless and even harmful to long term value. You get "we all are people and make mistakes, we want to prevent that", if someone is trying to prevent wrong assignment in strongly typed language well I will call them "braindead".
Oculus feels fine to me, more comfortable then the index at least. Though for the index I've switched to prescription lenses which is obviously the most comfortable choice.
> Man, you must have worked at some really toxic workplaces.

Me too, then, because that accurately describes every Agile workplace I've been in the last 10+ years.

(I will concede that a lot of those were contracts and almost by definition, if they're hiring contractors to come in as emergency fixers, things are not going well anyway.)
We can agree on the ads part.

What counts as a distraction vs a feature is depending on the use case and perhaps how your brain works.

If you're trying to accomplish something like 'get quickly to that specific page', a way to quickly get to a list of thumbinals, to tap on it, would not be a distraction.

But if those thumbnails are always visible when you are just viewing the page, then it becomes a distraction.

If you have features that are perhaps hidden by default, but could be enabled in settings, you could allow the user to add the features they don't see as distractions.
I need some clarification on "connect me to the internet", does that means I can watch Youtube videos by simply closing my eyes? I can search on Google with my thoughts?

Can I connect to my smart home so I can turn on the lights without saying a word?
Why can't it be 64-bit? I don't see any reason why we can't have an ILP64 data model. If int and int* were both 64-bit then it would restore so much of the original beauty of C.
I would guess, minutes of day being outraged.
I switched from Windows to Mac in 2009 for professional reasons and the Mac software landscape at the time was far from what it is today. I got very keen on getting some tried and true Windows software to work on Mac which in some cases led me to discover half-baked open source software solutions that barely worked and were unmaintained. I guess this was the first time I thought to myself: "Gosh, wouldn't it be nice to know how to program."

I taught myself C at the age of 25 and approached a computer science degree shortly afterwards. That open source software is still unfixed but I'm glad it sent me down this path.
Starts by saying how it's a huge myth that compilers generate better code than hand-made assembly... and ends with compiler-generated code, the author basically saying "I think I could do better".

It was interesting to see what the compiler generated, though it won't be a big surprise to experienced C coders.
Agreed. I don't think he even had a twinge when he went over the line - making up trades to cover a loss. Didn't even perceive it as a decision to be made, it just needed to be done.
This is a great round-up and awesome information to have. But I'd be way more interested in the profits other bootstrapped startups are seeing.
Con games, to work, require greedy victims.
I did not know you could do that on the iPhone! Thanks for the tip. It should probably be a lot more obvious, there aren't even scroll bars on overflow:auto divs.
Makes you wonder, how many more Madoffs are out there? Right now, with your money.
Sometimes I love being 5'6" Sure you tall people have your sports and politics and scads of beautiful women, but I can get comfortable anywhere!
Did you mean to reply to my comment?

I don't disagree with anything you say, but it also doesn't refer to my comment.
I had a ten year old site virtually de-indexed as a result of someone plagiarising one single page. It wasn't even an attack as such, just someone being too lazy to at least re-word the article.

This was within the last 3 years. Until then, I too believed Google were 'smart enough' to recognise such things.
Chick Corea is such an excellent introduction/addition to jazz and jazz fusion libraries. If you like Snarky Puppy, Chick Corea was a huge part of their inspiration. He was a musical genius and his soul will live on in jazz forever
> The Sun is really going the way of CNN and the NYT

Hilarious! For the paper of the page 3 girl and “Freddy Starr Ate My Hamster” (not to mention “Gotcha!”), that would be an extraordinary (and unlikely) improvement. Perhaps you had a different Sun in mind?

Speaking as a former meditation teacher who attained High Equanimity [1] and saw through the non-self mark of existence [2]: what you're doing is a complete corruption of the heritage of meditation and is dangerous.

I'm speaking strictly from a secular point of view now, what you are teaching has nothing to do with meditation. Meditation is a practice with a clear line of progression. We have markers and waypoints for every stage of a meditator's journey to seeing the conditioned nature of reality.

If you want to continue with your product, I strongly urge you to call it something else because they will be confused that what they are practicing has anything to do with a thousands of years old series of techniques that are well-defined and established and predicated on four simple truths: the observance of suffering, its origin, its extinction and the path leading to its extinction.

I want to add for the purpose of disclosure: I am no longer a meditation teacher and have backslid greatly in my practice. My historical comments should not be taken as the examples of right ethics which would be expected of a highly attained practitioner. Intellectually, however, I feel I must condemn a product that risks harm by association to a beautiful, clear system which can be walked by anyone to achieve a calm, kind mind.

If people are curious about meditation, Headspace is a solid intro to these techniques started by a former monk with decades of experience.

I don't know why you are down voted, what you are saying is factually correct and the comment you responded to was wrong about the Dark Ages. The Dark Ages preceded the Medieval Period.
slowloris is an old attack on HTTP. The idea is to send garbage HTTP headers as slow as possible while keeping the TCP connection open, you send one letter every 5 seconds for example. The HTTP stack on the other side stays busy waiting for HTTP headers and can't do anything else meanwhile.

It's usually targeted to webservers, before most HTTP servers got fixed you could DDOS a server with a tiny connection, but some HTTP clients can also be vulnerable.

But you may find better usage of your time than implementing this.
The decreasing amount of birdsong gives credence.
It's both :) ! It's a typo that is built into the clever joke (to help tell the joke)
We will never know the full and complete story of everything that happened in those years. Too much was happening, all at the same time.

The Nazis approached their work systematically and with an enormous obsession with detail. A lot of what we know is due to information being scrupulously catalogued and recorded. The concentration camps were corporate legal entities which extracted labor and then re-sold it into the economy/war machine. In the highly emotional narratives on the topic this is frequently left out - the Holocaust was a process, optimized to supercharge the global war effort. And it worked.

When the tides of the war turned, those same records were then systematically erased and burned, though the efforts were spread thin, we have some evidence of these cover-up efforts. This is often the purpose of these investigations - to show that this wasn't a crime of the moment or of passion, to show the premeditation. At the point of the Warsaw Uprising everyone was desperate - an unstoppable horde was approaching from the East - but the Nazis still continued executing the plan.

Much of what we know is an accumulation of the remaining records + systematically catalogued recollections of the survivors. In an alternate reality in which the Nazis win, it would have been possible that nobody would have found out about much of it at all.

Which is highly relevant for us today, and gives a lot to think about all the other Holocausts we perhaps are not as familiar with. The ones happening now, and the ones that happened but were successfully covered up.

(I'm not a researcher - 3/4 of my grandparents are survivors of the Buchenwald/Auschwitz-Birkenau/Ravensbruck KL's and these are just my two-cents of amateurish thoughts on a subject endlessly discussed here in Poland)
Yes, designing ram is a lower level operation as compared to designing logic via an HDL and needs to directly take the process (chemistry, optics, mechanics) of the fab into account.

I've never heard of this. Can anyone who's used it share how it compares to LibreOffice, MS Office, and Google Docs?
You need to demonstrate that you understand and can modify code in real project. Many programmers are code illiterates, job interview is all about filtering them out.

Small trivial projects on github profile do not count for much. Contributions to some established OS project are great.
A market so susceptible to mania is maybe in the need of brakes that are used judiciously and without bias. We clearly do not have that, and in fact have been stripping them away since the 80s.

You can't blame this on "unsophisticated" investors breaking norms but ultimately playing by the rules.
In Bangladesh, the tried and tested way is to enrol in a master's program and take it from there. Not always something that you can afford though.
What they likely mean is that C++ gamedev libraries have been heavily optimized over the course of many years, so while there is no theoretical limitation on Rust's equivalents, polishing them to the same degree is nontrivial and takes time. Bevy is the closest and that is a recent development (last couple of months).
> A person can have access to the same financial products that banks have access to

Like reverting transactions? Handling of disputes? Fraud detection?

> Essentially blockchain makes financial products faster, cheaper and more accessible.

You literally mentioned bad UX just a few sentences ago? How that makes it more accessible than existing systems?

Cheaper? What's the transaction cost at any given moment in time?

Faster? Credit card transactions are instant these days, have no fluctuating costs, and carry an added benefit of, you know, customer and seller protections.
