Looking at historical S&P 500 to Gold ratio, stocks are definitely more expensive but nowhere near dotcom frenzy. Either we see market correction or gold is undervalued and will catch up. In that case there might be no stock market crash.

Prior to the very latest generation nvidia GPUs the quality of nvenc was significantly worse than software x264. This, along with the still there even if very small performance hit, is why the major streamers all still use a dual PC setup with capture cards.

If you're just streaming casually this doesn't matter at all. If this is your day job, though, you probably want all the quality & control you can get, and NVENC isn't quite there.
Presumably just listening to the slider state and updating some global variables is fast enough to not need throttling, but I would definitely update the SVG DOM inside a draw loop running in requestAnimationFrame since there's no point in doing it any faster than that anyway.

I'm not an expert on high-frame-rate web drawing, but I've played with it a fair amount, and AFAIK there's no need to do any fancy debouncing logic beyond requestAnimationFrame.
I think this is the part where it gets interesting. Once you have enough parallel general-purpose compute horsepower available to run a physically-based renderer (e.g. what Pixar uses) at frame rates beyond 30/second, you can start to enter into a realm of arbitrarily-complex scenes within real-time applications.

How far off are we from this possibility, assuming someone sat down and optimized existing solutions for this use case?
Definitely.

Technically this can also be done via static code trampolines that are mmap'd as well [1]. That approach has been used on iOS in the past to turn blocks into raw function pointers.

If you have a platform that allows W+X on code (yikes!), you can do [2] as well.

Didn't see any at all, with uMatrix.
Imagine how hard it would be to discover that your sinuses bleeding (among other things) is caused by onions and garlic, when practically everything you can buy has them in it.

Fortunately, the higher the quality, the less likely it has those. The mustard display at the supermarket has dozens of different brands and mixes. But only one lists mustard seed as the first ingredient, then vinegar and salt, and nothing else. Similarly, hot sauce. And far from the most expensive one, in each case.

Sadly, no salsa lacks them. Or pesto. And, for a short time you could get straight-up pulped avocado, but now it can only be found as "guacamole", with the onions in.
1% of twitter is a lot though. Current market cap of twtr is 34.4 billion. 1% of that is 344 million.
Stallman and the game developer are completely incompatible. To Stallman and the FSF, writing proprietary software may as well be slavery.
Why wouldn't the same situation occur?
This makes so much more sense. I heard he was working on duolingo but could not figure out how a translation application could work as a captcha. The video explains that it isn't a captcha technology, instead it's an app about translating, wholly disconnected from his previous two "monumental" inventions.

I look forward to working with it. It seems like it's another excellent step forward for independent study along with the Khan academy.
It can do some really impressive stuff. During my "office hours" mine turns on BT and pairs to my BT speakerphone and sets a particular ringtone. Off-hours, it unpairs the device and sets a different one.
It's just an app to toggle my wifi settings and change my ringer volume. It's not enough of a pain point to be worth $10 to me.
For a Windows 7 machine on a domain, the file is: C:\Users\<User-Name>\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
yelp clone?
This was just an artifact of 'circuit-switched' CATV networks. With an IP-based network you can have 100,000 channels that cost nothing as long as they're not being watched. Literally anyone can start their own cable channel. (Starting to sound familiar yet?)

In such an environment, a la carte programming is the only thing that can possibly make sense. The tiered plans are gone for good, and cable companies will just have to deal with it and get over it.

Very Sleepy is an open-source polling CPU profiler for Windows, maintained for many years by Richard Mitton.

As there haven't been any releases in a while, I've been maintaining my own fork of Very Sleepy on GitHub. Today, the fork became one with upstream: Richard blessed the GitHub repository as the official one, and I've changed the name back to Very Sleepy.

Here's to many more releases from today onwards :)
Perhaps your two camps are just not a very good representation of how programmers actually think?
I personally use Trello for this. It works well on all my devices and sync immediately when I add any task in it. Also, its very easy to use. Surprising thing is I don't pay any single penny for it.
To be fair, we're using a linear model (Schrödinger's Equation) but in an infinite dimensional vector space and linear operators on these infinite dimensional vector spaces.

These aren't your grandfather matrices and there are things in infinite dimension that are rather weird, specifically when it comes to eigenvalues, which QM makes extensive use of.

The spectrum of an operator, for example can be a weird mix of discrete values, discrete sets of intervals and/or the entire real line.
Rails to trails are (as the name would suggest) taking unused railroad lines and paving them over as dedicated bike paths.

They’re kind of boring sometimes due to the even grading, but they are dedicated bike paths.
High stakes entry-exams have their own problems. Among many other issues, they measure peak performance, rather than sustained performance.

US college admissions have many problems, so don't hear me say they don't need reform, but you are also assuming that academics are the sole thing that college is about. It isn't, at least not in the US. US schools value many things beyond pure academics. Among them being leadership (whether or not you were class president is one such indicator), personal initiative, success against the odds and many other things.
One possibility might be to report to all sites that permission has been granted, but only actually grant permission once the user has specifically chosen to do so.
As your link shows, the time evolution of the expectation value of position does in fact not generally obey a closed-form non-linear differential equation; instead one needs the expectation value of V'(x) which is a different quantity altogether. But the easiest way to compute that quantity is of course to solve the Schrodinger equation...

Edit: removed an accusation because I misread the original comment.
It seems to me that both descriptions are practically accurate. A compromise position is: lawsuits allow shareholders to receive company funds even in a situation where the majority of the (voting) shareholders would not otherwise authorize it. For some companies with dual-class voting structures, this might even be the only way that a common shareholder would ever see a payout.
We can certainly agree to disagree! ;-)
Both nations are nuclear armed. Creating a nuclear winter over a debt is a sketchy plan
Hyperinflation and the collapse of the US economy, and at long last, the introduction of socialism to the United States, (unfortunately, in the worst possible manner). A week later, we'll all be trading cans of gasoline and ammunition for euros and bottle caps.

Perfect example of cutting off your nose to spite your face.
He also took up watercolour and did a lot of studies and plein air painting that shows an incredible spontaneity and energy that's very different than his oils, while still retaining his basically perfect draughtsmanship.
> What's extremely unethical is contacting the person over LinkedIn.

Umm the point of linkedin is to make professional contacts and a professional network.

> But it would be completely unacceptable if a sales representative showed up at my house (despite me only sharing my address for billing/shipping purposes). This is basically what happened to the Azure customer.

This would be like the sales rep turning up at your office during office hours and leaving a card for you.

The person used a corporate account and the person was contacted via a method used to contact people about professional matters.
I'm always confused when I read/hear people say things like this. Do people think there is a skyscraper downtown with a giant sign on it that says Expert HQ on it or something where they release their findings from?
yes, but also with 100+ years of engineering, for far fewer companies/nations, and with trillions (more?) thrown at the discipline. Software engineering is, what, 50 years old, tops?
Reminds me of the face covering/masks. When swine flu came out it was insisted that masks did nothing to fight the virus. When covid first hit muh supervisor at work also insisted at a team meeting that it was scientifically proven masks did nothing to fight the virus and even went on to argue about it. Dude has his mask 24/7 now
That makes sense - if you're going to blackout you want to start with the "highest loads" (perhaps per capita? per household?) so as to reduce the number of blackouts you have to cause. Better 10k people lose power than 50k.

Though if 60% of Texas homes are electric heat then you have to consider that, too, and how long it takes a 60º house to get to 40 (any lower and you begin to risk health and water damage). I assume they'd roll the blackouts and no neighborhood would be without power for more than a few hours.
the involvement of the health plans in periodic drills of responses to military bioterror exercises [32] have apparently honed their capacity to work with the IDF and other organizations in emergency situations.

In addition to nurses employed by the health plans, supplemental staff were recruited from the Home Front Command of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), private companies, and others.

In the current vaccination campaign, the Home Front Command of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) is playing several vital roles. It is responsible for ultra-cold storage of the vaccines in a central location, transporting those vaccines to a large number of vaccination sites, and also organizing vaccination sites in small localities [1]

IDF facilities have also provided 50% of all covid tests.

> people don't just stop working

Did the participants receive enough money to maintain their current standard of living? Was the UBI granted for life or just for a few years? If it was granted for life, did the participants fear that the program might be ended prematurely? Did they keep working to be a role model for their children, who might never receive UBI? Did the participants even have a job to begin with? A study can give only unemployed people UBI and if the participants don't seek employment, the unemployment rate doesn't change, and your conclusion drawn from this fact is all wrong.
There is/was a contract dispute between the EU and AstraZeneca regarding supply of the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine. The EU wanted AstraZeneca to supply additional vaccine from it's UK-based factories, which are already contracted to supply the UK.

The export registration requirements (not an export ban) are, at least in part, in response to this dispute.

Fascinating read, thank you. I can't help but wonder what is available to big companies and governments these days in terms of technology and algorithms that we laypeople don't have access to or even dream about.
Ah, but you don't need FTL, you just need FTF (Faster Than Fiber) :D
I've seen a few things on chips that don't make sense, such as wires to nowhere. Then I figured out that these were bug fixes where they had cut connections.

Occasionally I find interesting chip art such as a tiger on a Dallas Semiconductor chip: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chip_art
In case it wasn't absolutely clear to you, I'm in full agreement with you on how ridiculous the decision to suspend the gifted program is.

Speaking of racism in the U.S., however, nothing you say will change the dozens of firsthand experiences that I endured as a minority immigrant growing up in this land. I say this not from a place of bitterness, but from a place of sadness: I too wish racism wasn't real or as heavily perpetuated as it actually is. Working in SV almost makes me forget the shit I had to endure because it's much less visible from the ivory towers of the west coast. But my friend, racism is very real, and it is very alive. I'm not here to say whites are evil and we are noble - it's simply that being in the place of power gives you many more avenues with which to abuse.

Let me say this one last time: shutting down a gifted class due to its racial make up is the wrong way to go. It's the lazy way to "establish social justice". I say this not because I believe racism isn't real - I say this because this is reverse racism. If what we want to build is a world that is accepting of all individuals regardless of their race, we should accept that racism exists and devise reasonable solutions to combat it. Punishing white kids is not the way to go, nor is denying that racism is alive.
We traditionally shake hands when we greet - that's physical contact. Whereas East Asians typically bow and make no physical contact at all. So your comment simply isn't true and doesn't really make much sense. (I haven't downvoted you by the way).
A lot of people I know were using macs partly because you can still force them to only update at the library, Something you haven't been able to do with Windows for a long time.
So which is it, parents are too dumb to figure out how to get their kids into gifted programs which is why the school wants to change the rules, or parents are deliberately sacrificing their kids education.

Also the word MOST is doing some pretty goddamn heavy lifting here. DO you have something to back up the claim?
I remember reading something where someone was thinking you could build bone mass by standing on a vibrating platform.
> The person "buying into the propaganda" in this instance is not myself, but you unfortunately.

I wish I knew how to say this in a constructive manner, but your lack of self-awareness is sad. You are guilty of the very thing you are decrying, just changing the race to what fits your narrative.

Yes, I am saying you are racist and don't realize it.
This explains a lot.

I have a 2015 Macbook Pro that I use irregularly. I haven't needed it for about 6 months and I dusted it off the other day to do something.

It said it had updates to install. 6 hours and 5 reboots later it was up to date.

Does Apple not do cumulative updates?
It’s a truism that the fastest way to achieve equality is by holding everyone back.

I remember when they instituted a policy in our city some years ago for physical education class. The policy was that you were not allowed to lap anyone during running.

You can imagine how that looked.
I thought it would be cool if you could pre-order one through a local library. Here, at least, getting a library card requires visiting in person, so scalpers would have trouble getting multiple unless the librarian were in on it.

I don't think that sort of relationship between manufacturers and libraries exists, though, and I'm not sure it should.
1% isn't enough equity to justify a below market salary for something with a 10% chance of a $100,000,000 exit in five years...and if only the outlook were that good and imagining no dilution and benevolent actions by controlling shareholders.

If the equity is important, then it should have some chance of producing fuck-you-money at liquidation. 0.05% is only fuck-you-money if there's a Google IPO size liquidation and there's been no dilution ($11,500,000 @ $23billion). That ain't significantly more likely to happen to a software developer than a chef.
This is great Is there support or planned support for expanded display? (\x in psql)
If you've got a college semester of linear algebra under your belt (or equivalent) and are pretty good with Excel, then the book is a good fit. Even the algebra can be optional if you're willing to use wikipedia liberally. I don't take for granted that the reader has a lot of background.

That said, there are parts in the book that are really quite hard. Hard in that they just take time to work through. Because the book is about learning all the steps that go into training models and doing analyses from scratch. But once you do it all from scratch once, you don't necessarily have to ever ever do it again.

It's taught in Excel for learning purposes, and then the last chapter moves you into R. Literally, the Holt Winters forecasting chapter of the book is 50 pages while in R it's the forecast package plus 3 lines of code.
The amount of fuel used on that twenty pounds is trivial when factored in with all the tennis rackets, shirts, etc that are also in that plane. However, this doesn't get to the crux of the problem that print on demand is still an immature technology compared to offset printing, and provides an inferior good. Running a printing press is an artform, and pure digital doesn't offer the same quality tools quite yet.
This app should be reported as having a misleading description or at least it should be in the "games" category not in the "transportation".
God, you people who don't understand silicon culture and polishing make me sick. A bunch of hipster poseurs who just want to play with their little "programs" without even understanding the wafers that make it all possible! Get a clue!
Well, I suppose that's something, but it feels like faint praise to me.
It feels like he spent too much time working on his own work rather than looking at what other people were doing and ended up disappointed that people didn't follow the same way as he did.
Baric knows the truth. After all, it's his coronavirus research that ended up in Wuhan.

Ralph Baric and 'batwoman' Shi Zhengli worked together on several coronavirus research projects spanning more than a decade.

It's like asking the fox if he knows where the hen went.
I want to keep thinking that the author is pursuing some kind of rational strategy with this piece. But given how muddled, poorly written, and ungrammatical the writing is, I am forced to consider the possibility that the author is simply mutton-headed.

Of course, negative coverage is a hit piece. That's the whole point. Discretion and judgment are hallmarks of adulthood. You don't blurt out every thought that pops into your head. Journalists are adults. They don't just publish whatever they find, the positive and the negative, merely because they found it or because "it's a fact."

In that way, journalists are like expert players of the deepest game invented by humanity -- hold 'em poker. They choose what claims to present, in what context and in what order, to reinforce specific beliefs in the minds of their opponents in the service of particular personal goals.

Pretending otherwise is either hopelessly naive or pretending to be hopelessly naive.
Point Beach is still operating afaik. Kewaunee shut down several years ago though.
E-521 is a popular curve? Are you sure you don't mean P-521? I mean I'm all for the Edwards variant but I'm fairly sure most people haven't heard of it and I'm not aware of a single popular crypto library that implements it.
Hah, I literally only noticed from your reply that it wasn't Herr der Steine!
Ugh, this content might be worth reading, if the layout weren't so broken that reading on any small device is impossible
If your value percentage does't cover market rate, then you might need to rethink your business. Market rate is derived from value percentage across all companies that seek the same talent (and also negotiating strength etc.).

If a company is in build mode, there are other creative ways to compensate (stock, etc.) or you convince investors of future value so you can afford to build it (investors) by paying market rate. An investor who just gave you millions of dollars to build something, probably doesn't want to hear about how you're going to cut costs by hiring overseas talent.

If the only way you can succeed is by exploiting location based salaries, then your business isn't just competing in it's product market, but also competing with every other business that is trying to exploit location based salaries (and there's a lot).
this was exactly what I was worried about reading this article. The return to his parents seems like a terrible thing to celebrate without knowing what exactly happened to motivate him to escape in 2019.
Where can I find more information about this 'native' gitlab-runner executor?
To be fair, it runs Apache. I know, I know...
I agree about "whole network" - you may be able to upload at 100Mbps or even faster to some hosts, but the Internet ultimately is not a circuit-switched network so the realistic speeds you'll get are highly dependent on the path and what other traffic is passing through the various routers and links along the way. The bottleneck may not be at the connection to your ISP, but somewhere else.

Despite having a connection that is advertised for 50Mbps down - and I have achieved that speed when accessing hosts relatively close to me - the average speeds I get among all the sites I visit and download files big enough to notice the speed from would appear to be in the 1-2Mbps range.
The problem I have with browser password managers is how simple they are to crack. Master passwords are disabled by default (if available at all), and even with a master password, many browsers still don't encrypt them in the password store.
FWIW the first line OCD meds are antidepressants (SSRIs). If you're not already on SSRI maybe you can look into switching and killing two birds with one drug.
Indeed. "If the radiation dose is low and/or it is delivered over a long period of time (low dose rate), the risk is substantially lower because there is a greater likelihood of repairing the damage. There is still a risk of long-term effects such as cancer, however, that may appear years or even decades later."

I've been using podman for a year now and I didn't even realize it until I looked and saw that I had a symlink for 'docker' -> podman.
That’s nice of you. I am not sure why there’s a fee at all for job searchers, but if it helps with avoiding spammers and ads/data selling, it could make sense.

Is it possible to look around without making an account? Something like seeing a very small number of openings, maybe without being able to contact the poster until an account is created? Other job boards let you do that. It’s good to understand what kind of jobs are posted.

Also, is there an option to search for companies without making my profile automatically searchable as well? Things can become awkward if somebody is looking for a new job and his current employer finds their profile. I think Triplebyte had some PR trouble due to something like that at some point.
Edit: Graphic video of the police shooting. [1]

They could have easily arrested her. They shot and killed her instead. She had no weapon and had made no physical contact with any officer. Just shot as she came through the door.

At the same time, there are a half dozen well armed officers on the same side of the door as the protestors who are not being attacked and freely arrive at the scene within seconds of the shooting.
