You realize that actors are all in a union (SAG). I don't think Tom Cruz's pay is affected by how much an SAG extra is being paid. In the case of SAG, they set the minimum floor for pay, but have no say in the upper bound.
My family hates WhatsApp as there are no Telegram stickers there. So it was easy.

So I guess, I'd show them animated stickers. WhatsApp feels archaic tbh
What's your game?
> there are systems which are both more durable and more efficient than RAID 6

RAID 10?
>how much of a monopoly WhatsApp has in Europe and the UK

Everything you said applies to the Indian subcontinent, SE Asia and South America which form the bulk of the WhatsApp user base as well but with lesser or no scrutiny whatsoever when compared to EU/UK.
I feel this is more of an American capitalistic perspective.
For me, to specify, Linux on an "iPad" with either chip. Laptops are a (now) horrible legacy design. If I want more compute, I would like the "iPad" as screen for a "Mac mini" sized system.

1. Linux

2. Not Intel

3. Good screen for text, "13 inch"

4. Pen input, for writing and drawing

5. Battery life

My dreams are modest; fuck you universe!

I don't think you're wrong, I run a small MSP, I got the same sense you did.

Small scratches, sure, but dents are way harder to deal with on a stainless steel body panel. A dent stretches the metal, so you have to un-stretch and reshape it perfectly, which is time consuming and unless you take it to a shop that specializes in Deloreans no one will know how to do it. Compared to a regular painted body panel, everyone in every body shop has filled a dent with bondo, sanded it flush, and sent the panel to the paint booth hundreds of times. The painting itself can be finicky, but that's where the practice comes in.

Delorean assumed body panels would just be replaced when damaged, not repaired.
I've crawled a popular social network on a large scale, currently doing the same for dating services as a hobby. God, wish I'd still got paid for webscraping.

Here are some tricks which may or may not work today:

- Have an app where user logs in through said website, then scrape their friends using this user's token. That way you get exponential leverage on the number of API calls you can make, with just a handful of users.

- Call their API through ipv6, because they may not yet have a proper, ipv6 subnet-based rate limiter.

- Scrape the mobile website. Even Facebook still has a non-js mobile version. This single WAP/mobile website defeats every anti-scraping measure they may have.

- From a purely practical perspective, start with a baremetal transaction-isolation-less database like Cassandra/ScyllaDB. Don't rely on googling "postgres vs mongodb" or "sql vs nosql", those articles will all end in "YMMV". What you really need is massive IOPS, and a multi-node ring-based index with ScyllaDB will achieve that easily. Or just use MongoDB on one machine if you're not in hurry.

- Don't be too kind on the big websites. They can afford to keep all their data in hot pages, and as a one man you will never exhaust them.
Do that, then do a type alias in the package you would "like" for it to be imported from:

mypkg/internal/foo/foo.go:
type Foo struct { … }

mypkg/mypkg.go:
import "mypkg/internal/foo"

type Foo = foo.Foo

Then, it can be imported from "mypkg` and used as `mypkg.Foo`.
The opposite. Point 1 should be don't use an ORM unless you don't know SQL. But you should know SQL so don't use an ORM.

An ORM only works until the point where you need to join tables. As soon as that's needed the ORM just causes you endless trouble.
Not sure, but I’d be willing to bet the majority of towing is short range. Bringing equipment to a job site or putting a boat in the lake.
Actually it does, because the author of the post literally asked for name suggestions. So indeed your comment doesn't add anything substantial to the discussion.

it's just, that you were supposed to scroll to actually read it. There was no way you could have known, since you're on a mac.

I would like to add that your use of the word "fascist" and "authoritarian" is a grave disrespect to those who are survivors of authoritarian regimes. If I were you I would think much more carefully before throwing such words around over scrollbar preferences

I wasn't really commenting on this article, so much as on the comment I was replying to. But, what's wrong is that it's an oversimplification of how the human body regulates fat levels.

This oversimplification leads many to employ strategies of weight loss that revolve around simply measuring the calories they expend vs the calories they consume while ignoring the source of calories or other habits which affect hormone levels.

I'm not an expert on nutrition, fitness, biology, genetics or medicine... so you are free to dismiss my assertions if you require such a qualification.

Though, I do recommend reading some Nassim Nicolas Taleb, as he makes a much better case for what I'm discussing while also dismissing the idea that one needs to be an expert to recognize bullshit.

Also, I personally think articles drawing conclusions from scientific studies shouldn't be published before the study is replicated...

but of course, that would reduce the supply of articles for the ravenous pseudo-scientific commenter and we'd have to have more rigorous arguments on a smaller set of more rigorous information and people would run the risk of coming to all sorts of agreements and reducing click-through.
Why does the topic say Firefox when µBlock isn't even for Firefox? Chrome is the problem, not Firefox.

All browsers became huge memory hogs lately, but I'd rather have 100MB+ of RAM just for Adblock than blinded by ads (of which a lot are malicious).
Speaking of a moon Base, ESA has a plan establish one. They are planning to send two rovers that will be able to 3d print a base for humans.

They are planning to send two rovers and an inflatable capsule. The inflatable capsule will work as a scaffolding for the rovers to print on. Two rovers will gather moon regolith around the inflated structure to create a protective shell, and their planned lunar base will be able to house 4 people.

It's fascinating!

Only if you define intelligence as IQ is this true. It's more accurate to say that scoring high on IQ tests doesn't correlate very strongly with reasoning skills.

Or, more interestingly, that scores on IQ tests correlate far more with factors like parental incomes or pleasure reading during childhood than they do with reasoning skills.
For freelancing, Harvest, which fits my needs perfectly.

For personal projects, I don't believe time tracking to be useful (instead I just track completed tasks).
The API allows 'var's to be treated as dynamically typed, so sure it is. More to the point, if you tried to change it to be statically typed, it wouldn't be expressible in the same nice-looking way in C.

That too is an ideology, and it's not a trivial one.
This is sort of a weird complaint to have, since "cool" doesn't at all have the connotation of "robust long-term support"; in fact it's almost the opposite, since being "cool" is a more in line with things like "move fast and break things".

That doesn't mean that backwards compatibility and long-term support isn't a good thing for the consumer, but it really has nothing to do with the concept of "cool".
Thanks for the citation. Forgot to include it.
Terrible article, I expected more from the BBC. Basically "stuff you should be afraid of but we won't explain how it works or provide links to the original work."

Would it be better to modularize your design to allow for multiple search providers, two of which are Facebook and Twitter? Build on them while you can. If, in the future, they decide to kill your access, let your users know. Tell your users how to contact the offending provider. Get a small grass roots movement going.

In the mean time, build something that at its core is yours. Build it out. Make it a following.
Wow I must have been tired when I wrote this. That was meant to say "he uses every major case he brings to better position himself for elected office...".
You think? The whole thing seems paltry to me-- it is the equivalent of the common magic trick of hiding objects via mirrors. You blanket a tiny object with calcite, so that the light is bent around the object when viewed from a fixed angle? Big whoop. Let me know when you can hide something the size of, say, a shoebox, from an observer who can wander around freely, and I'll get excited.
Our queues are implemented using BLPOP which blocks until items arrive, so no polling is needed.

The newer pub/sub stuff promises to be very useful, too, but we didn't have a use-case for that, yet. Our app generally needs messages to persist until they are consumed.

What I can say however is that none of the concerns we initially had about performance/scalability held any water.

We are still running on a single redis instance (plus a slave) on a moderately sized server and it happily processes 100 messages/sec average between 4 producers and a varying number of consumers (20-100).

To add insult to injury our monitoring metrics show that this isn't even a worthwhile load for redis. The server is nowhere near breaking a sweat, the CPUs barely drop below 90% idle, there's no disk i/o to speak of, and the memory usage is more than reasonable (plenty headroom for our purposes).

Thus "just throw it at redis" has long become a common stopgap meme in this particular project. And so far we didn't have to replace any of these supposed stopgaps with something else.
Awesome stuff. For a sec I thought it was Chris Granger of Light Table fame.
This will not "block the sun from any angle". Not unless you make it block all light from any angle. If I'm understanding your proposal, what it will do if it works is to block all light that enters the window perpendicularly (and at certain other angles), whether it comes from the sun or not; but if you happen not to be looking straight at the window, there's no guarantee that the sun will be blocked. And if you are looking straight at the window, you won't see anything.

There's nothing magical about sunlight that will enable you to block it while letting in other light from the same direction. And light from the sun could reach the window at a wide range of different directions.

(If you somehow contrive to have the sun always in the same direction -- say you're in a spaceship and it keeps a consistent orientation relative to the sun -- then this kind of thing could work. Not so feasible here on earth, though.)

A timeline?
I find the documentation lacking. Reading some issues, the author admitted that the magic global variables/functions could be confusing (I could be mistaken on the exact wording).

I've found myself reading the source code to figure out how to use it, after reading through the docs a couple times. I like the idea of not mutating but returning a new state object (and this idea is throughout).

Started reading his "Eloquent JavaScript"; I his code, and feel like I'm learning stuff. Just need to wrap my head around my requirements and data, then it'll be simpler.
One of the problems I've noticed with AR games is that they don't interact with the real world meaningfully. I'm working on an API that can create levels for AR games that incorporate the environment into gameplay.
Agreed.. the gamification can be huge. I'd like to keep iterating on this moving forward.
Hell I’m still using an iPhone 6s that I got a bit before the 8 came out.

Now I have decent Bluetooth headphones, but if AT&T hadn’t been pissing me off with billing issues it might have been end of the year before I got a new one. Battery is holding on better than any of my previous ones.

If not for the apocalypse I figure this would have been about the weekend I finally headed over to the TMO store.
Hi! Tim from Realm here. All I can say at this point is: we’ll do our first public release very, very soon. Email me tim@realm.io if you want to get early access :)
I wish I can blacklist the words elon and musk.
Well, I guess you haven't checked out Krita since 2003. Krita got adjustment layers (which are basically masks with a filter that applies right there in the layer stack) in 2004 (2005, it's a long time, and I can't be arsed to check on the exact date).

16 bit integer, 16 bit float and 32 bit float followed in the same year. OpenEXR has been supported for about a decade. OpenColorIO was added two years ago, so there's the LUT functionality needed for movie and vfx people.

And have you actually tried Krita? I mean, group layers were a 2004 or 2005 addition as well, and you can add transparency masks, local selection masks, filter masks or transformation masks to groups just like you can add them to vector, pixel, clone, filter, fill (color, pattern, other generators) or file (external file added in your layer stack) layers.

Smart objects? There are vector layers, where you can add any svg image or editable vector object.

Layer effects? Well, that's something we're working on. It isn't too difficult, but a lot of work just typing in all that code. Previously, we assumed that people could make do with filter masks and layers, but well, this is one thing where we'll do a clone job, I guess.

Color overlays? Gosh, take a fill layer with a color and the right blending mode. Or do something else -- a HSV colorize filter mask, for instance.
The video backs you up in many different cases. Money is seized from drivers based on the police officer's (preposterous) opinion that it will be used illegally in the future (eg to buy drugs), ignoring the reason and evidence the driver has for the money in the first place.

In Philadelphia they seized houses because of $40 of heroin (son of the owners). And then have courtrooms where this stuff can be contested, but without a judge - only the prosecutor who was involved in the first place.
> In other words, no longer will your rights be violated vis-a-vis the forfeiture of assets - without proof of a crime - under Federal Law. Rather, local police will be violating rights and taking assets under State Law.

The reason local police have been using federal law to do this is that seizures under federal law belong to the feds, but federal law has a proceeds-sharing system which gives most of it back to the seizing agency, where state laws usually reserve seizure proceeds under state law to the state general fund. Without the agency-specific revenue enhancement provided by federal seizure rules, there is far less incentive for police to pursue seizure.

(That doesn't mean they won't still when they have other motivations, like "punishing" a target that they don't have sufficient evidence to criminally charge. But by removing the federal option, a powerful incentive for the use of seizure has also been removed.)
> And his comment on their rocket being the butt of a joke, using engines literally made in the 1960s and stored in Siberia were true.

That was quite misleading on Elon's side. Engines were manufactured in 1970's (I believe in 1973-1974) after quite an extensive RND program - actualy, remake of similar engines, NK-15, which weren't nearly as good. NK-33 engines were tested as perhaps no others of theirs caliber - with tests like throwing metal chips (nuts?) into pumps, or running uninterrupted for ~4 hours (!) . Technical capabilities are also quite formidable - ok, Merlin-D has better thrust-to-weight, but worse Isp, and that's with the hindsight of ~40 years. Throttleable... relatively modest pressure by today's standards... And they were stored in Volga region, which is firmly Europe.

So, Musk's comment - intentionally or not - painted OSC's decision in less-than-objective color. Well, Elon is known for exagerrating... and sometimes quite grossly. We'll know the scale.
I think the problem with this proposal is the us vs them mentality of police departments. I would expect that cops will continue to close ranks around the bad cops, and use these insurance claims as a tool against those that don't.
No, the CCP is the governing body of China which is a sovereign entity. CCP contains multiple factions representing all facets of society hence 90M+ membership who do not all agree and have agendas.

What distinguishes CCP from western governments is that party membership and advancement is based on meritocracy not populism resulting in only the most qualified/accomplished rising to positions of leadership.
"Centuries of European oppression" is a very easy anti-White dog whistle because it's often fairly accurate, so it's easy to toss it in to bludgeon a person into submission in a discussion. How unfortunate for the commenter that they peppered in the phrase in one of the few contexts where it's not especially accurate.
allo jeff nice to see you're around :) thank you so much for the time you spend guiding me through nyuzi. also for explaining the value of the metric "pixels / clock" as a measure for iteratively being able to focus on the highest bang-per-buck areas to make incremental improvements, progressing from full-software to high-performance 3D.

Well, arguably our technologies and urban consolidation (and accompanying population explosion) have exponentially increased our energy demands, which is killing the environment, and that will kill us unless we kill each other first. So this is an odd headline at a time when our technologies are destroying our planet. It’s a slow strangle, but doesn’t mean our host is not being strangled.
This is critical imo, if only because software are cultural artifacts that should be able to be archived just like any other cultural artifacts.
Yea. Hopefully interfaces, which have been mentioned by the core team as being desired , will help.

Because the question is not “Which retail job can I get to help things going on, but doesn't actually increase my exposure possibility?”.

It seems to me the motivation is only getting the vaccine, OP doesn't mention the will/objective to help.

OP didn't say "I want to help retail, how do I do it without getting exposed ?” ?

His objective is to get bumped on the vaccine list by going retail with the least exposure. That's literally his statement.
> cmdList->Dispatch(dispatchSize/64, 1, 1);

> [numthreads(64, 1, 1)]
> void main(uint3 threadIdx : SV_DispatchThreadID) {

the dispatch size (x, y, and z) are multiplied by the numthreads components (Some compiler SIMD stuff requires this) And that sum total threads (x * y * z) are launched. the index of the thread this particular invocation is launched on is left in threadIdx, you can then use that index to read and write from other buffers.

This is HLSL, but the same generally applies to most APIs. Then more of this just becomes implicit and behind the scenes for shaders dispatched in other contexts, since more is known implicitly about the context, and more is done by other units of the hardware.
Ha, reading the comments it reminded me of Her too and I was wondering why no-one was mentioning the similarity.
Better put by Hanlon's razor, "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity."
Right. And also keep in mind that Firefox will change the selection color based on the inherent background color of the element being selected.

So, if you've got a black background of a super-parent element, and an light-colored image background for the parent or the element, your text will highlight white, ensuring that selected text is unreadable in certain situations.

Either the posted hack or setting a background color fixes it.
Beautiful, simple, to the point.

The only thing missing is a "take action" section at the bottom.
Yeah totally possible. PayPal supplies an HTML form as part of the code they give you. All you need to do is add a hidden element with a name of notify_url and set the value to a PHP script on your site. PayPal will do an http post to that script and one of the fields they post is payer_email, so you could set up a PHP script to email the ebook to that email address.

Now, this is all horribly insecure - if someone discovered the name of their script you can see how easy it'd be to get it to email the ebook to whoever - but for no-cost boot strap solution, it'd do the job initially.

I'd happily lend you a hand getting started with this stuff, my email address is in my profile.

Did anyone else read the paper? The summary doesn't seem very correct to me.

From the summary:

The results weren't pretty: in order to find a population of Turkers whose work was passable, the researchers first used Mechanical Turk to administer a test to 4,660 applicants. It was a multiple choice test to determine whether or not a Turker could identify the correct category for a business (Restaurant, Shopping, etc.) and verify, via its official website or by phone, its correct phone number and address.

79 passed. This was an extremely basic multiple choice test. It makes one wonder how the other 4,581 were smart enough to operate a web browser in the first place.

From the paper:

Of the 4,660 workers who took this test, only 1,658 (35.6%) workers earned a passing score, and over 25% of workers answered fewer than half of the questions correctly.

To investigate the high failure rate, we conversed with workers directly on TurkerNation and through private email. Based upon worker’s names and email addresses, we believe that we conversed with a representative sample of workers both inside and outside the United States. We found that the test was not too difﬁcult and that most workers comprehended the questions. We believe that many applicants simply try to gain access to tasks as quickly as possible and do not actually put care into completing the test.

ie, 1658/4660 workers passed this test, NOT 79 (!!)

Then later they describe some additional filtering they put in place to attempt to find the best workers (they tried estimated location and time to complete task). Based on these filters they said: Using a combination of pre-screening and the test tasks described above, only 79 workers of 4,660 applicants qualiﬁed to process real business changes.
