It's true and what's more, TJ's is not even close to a one-stop grocery store. They have a few general interest items and a bunch of foods specific only/mostly to their store. Only a nutritionally deficient person could shop solely at TJ, for everyone else I know it's supplemental shopping. There is a lower limit to your wealth before you get to the point where you're in the market for supplemental groceries.

*source: I lived above a TJ's in Berkeley for a few years.
Well, maybe:

I could be wrong but he also could legally expense this. If so then its a huge win, haha.
If ssh is running on it, redirect all web traffic to a page prompting them for their room number, to "get on the hotel wifi".

Edit: Assuming you can find it on the network, that is. Good luck; hope you can get it back.

In my opinion, it is entirely misguided to blame local maxima problem on A/B testing. The methodology doesn't dictate what is that you want to test. It is all about having a hypothesis and then collecting data to prove/disprove it. The post looks like it is blames poor results on instruments while wrong experimental design is the true culprit.
Because they don't know how to do this:

The best way to learn web programming is to start with the fundamentals. I would recommend to pick a technology stack, like RoR or whatever, and start reading the basic tutorials, but as soon as you get to a part which references HTML DOM, HTTP, CSS, or Javascript, diverge into those subjects, learning all you can about them, until you are either satisfied or bewildered, then come back to the original tutorial. The key is to not let all the time-saving effort that has gone into the frameworks prevent you from learning the fundamentals, otherwise they'll always seem like black boxes.
Dud, when I rebuilt Lucas Films into the presidio (I was one of the tech designers on that project) - they had so many SGI systems... they built Keg-arrators out of $150,000 machines in moving.

One small note on SGI - the 02 had a "feature' that cost you ~$2500 extra for access to a particular port - can recall if it was USB or Serial or what not, but you had to pay for this port...

But this port was just blocked by a plastic cover - EVERY machine had this port/ but they were covered by a plastic cover.

The $FEE that you paid was to simply have SGI remove the plastic cover on top of the port.

The 02 was an extremely over priced piece of shit and the only reason it existed was to have Softimage and Maya run on MIPS
I am familiar with it in the aerospace industry. Digital Twin implies a higher degree of fidelity in terms of importing data from sensors and modeling of physics than just model or simulation might apply, even though it is a model and simulation.

For GE's digital twins in the jet engines, they will build a high fidelity representation of the each individual engine based on as built parts, and then they will simulate every flight based on accelerometers, force sensors, humidity sensors, temperature and pressure sensors which they have placed in the engine. This is different from a general model or simulation which will build a model from CAD and then have a series of expected flight simulations and use that to predict life of the engine.
Thanks a bunch for sharing this. I think the way we move forward from here is more posts like this. It's an uphill battle where companies are actively adding friction to people being in control of their own data, but together we can do it :)

...Personally I just decided to boycot services that are smartphone-only. My last mistake was Revolut. Even the (arguably non-existing) process of getting a yearly statement from them is a goddamn joke.
Yes, but the COL is dramatically lower (and lower than other major city centers in Europe), its comparatively low crime, and the quality of life for the price is quite competitive.

I'd move out there in a heartbeat...although it does help that I have some passable Portuguese comprehension :)
Something like https://collab.ipfscluster.io/, where you could simply decide to become part of the cluster and host data would be nice.

Maybe with some granularity, because I doubt many of us would have enough storage to spare to mirror the whole thing.
Hey! I installed this on Chrome and Edge on Macbook M1. When I click the chrome extension, it just takes me here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/te98kaax0htz12r/Cursor_and_GIF_COM...

Any idea how to make it start recording?
A few years ago I sent them a few comments using the Contact box at the bottom of the page. They answered a couple of days later.
There's a big difference between receiving an amount of government subsidy, and the government funding almost everything with nearly no budget limits.

The former is definitely true, though China is not the only country engaging in such a practice.

The latter claim needs sources to back up.

If you look at the Chinese chip industry, then you see that a lot of money comes from the private sector. Huawei, Xiaomi, etc are investing a ton of money in semiconductor companies. SMIC got a lot of funds through a stock market IPO. Clearly it's not all government money.

There's also a big difference between investing in an industry with the goal of dominating the world and eliminating competition, vs the goal of becoming a sovereign equal. Why is it necessarily the former, and not the latter?

The reason why the Chinese government invests in many sectors, is because they want to be independent instead of being at the mercy of foreign sanctions. If it weren't for that, they'd happily buy from foreign suppliers because that's cheaper than developing the technology themselves.

There is another documented history: that of the US sanctioning China, preventing China from accessing all sorts of western technology. For example, the US denied China of space technology. So now, China has wholly self-developed space technology. China isn't selling space technology below production costs to kill competitors. China invested in this sector in order to safeguard their access to space. https://www.businessinsider.com/nasa-china-collaboration-ill...

The US forced TSMC to not supply to many Chinese companies, and TSMC isn't even a US company. The US is trying to kill the Chinese semiconductor industry, making it wholly reliant on foreign suppliers. For years, Chinese companies have bought from foreign semiconductor suppliers because those are better. But the US has now turned this matter into an existential crisis, a matter of survival. Is it then any wonder that China, both public and private actors, are now pouring billions into the domestic semiconductor industry?
It's written pretty deceptively. Yeah, it's not flat out wrong for the most part, but every part is presented in a way meant for you to take away that it has bad ties and questionable beliefs and to minimize why that might not be the right reading.
I actually agree completely. I’ve always found it funny that crypto folks rail against inflation in currency when it’s likely the sole reason their whatever it is (I say that due to complete lack of consensus around exactly you know what it is) got off the ground.
This will work for a few days until the 419ers update their scripts to filter these out. To succeed you'd need a lot more domains and scripts, and ask for overly specific but plausible information that takes time for attacker to provide.
These guys aren't dumb; they run efficient operations.
I don't think FB should do hardware honestly. Hardware requires a lot of patience and integration as Microsoft and Google discovered with their phones. Adding to this, FB's image is such at this point that most people won't touch their hardware.

FB has a lot of engineering talent and experience on distributed operations and services side, so if they really want to diversify, perhaps should leverage that.
I would, main reason being calling Java from Kotlin is seamless. It makes most things easier by being expression oriented and having less verbose yet familiar syntax also saner type system. So you can just use it as better Java.

If you want to go further you can also use other nice features like suspend functions, hot/cold channels, sealed classes.
You said that the NYT "helped expel a girl from college". The article did no such thing, euphemism aside, for the simple reason that time travel is impossible. I am begging you to read the article or at least the date of publication because it is clear you haven't.

>Confused why you think the article was "news" worth printing

The article is about a girl having her life upended by an internet mob with interviews with the principal players. (Again, to be abundantly clear, this article is post hoc.) Is that not newsworthy? You certainly think the event is worth bringing up months later which points to it being at least a little noteworthy.

> or sympathetic

They quote the girl, painting her as having just made an innocent mistake. "At the time, I didn’t understand the severity of the word, or the history and context behind it because I was so young". “It honestly disgusts me that those words would come out of my mouth”. Hell the main thrust of the article is a racial revenge narrative where she's the arbitrary victim of a mixed-race kid living in a racist town trying to settle the score with whatever he can.
Did they try that already?

It doesn't say he linked to the blog of a person that neoreactionaries also like. What the wording implies is that he linked to the blog of a person who is himself a neoreactionary and whom white supremacists also like. At least based on Wikipedia's narrative [1], it seems like Nick Land is in fact associated with the neoreactionary movement.

'decide to break patterns and remove guardrails because they don't understand their purpose'

Ensuring the non-experts understand their purpose is the role of the experts. NOT making the decision as to when to deviate. That's my point.

An org that leverages an expert to make others experts is an org that ends up with a team full of experts. An org that leverages an expert to make decisions for the non-experts is an org that is going to have a lot of issues in production, and likely high turnover.
I was expecting them to go a bit more into details about how many actually completed the course, if ways of taking the course had effect on completion and even to look at code check-in behavior after the course.

Instead the only results where survey and they didn't even mention how many completed it. The following paragraph sums up ALL results in the paper:

> Forty-six percent of post-class survey respondents are “plan
ning to use machine learning as a result of this class,” and
six percent report that they are already “using machine learning as a result of this class.” Of final survey respondents,62% report having machine learning conversations with others.
So your a domain squatter.....
Excellent point. Thank you.

So i guess that leads me to the next level of questioning. What known cosmic events need to be ruled out before intelligence behind the event gets on the list of probabilities, say somewhere in the top 20?
I'd assume the contract will be labelled an internship or training to get around that.
Government can definitely play a role, however, in how many kids grow up to become role models. We could talk about the prison industrial complex and the rate at which it imprisons young black and brown folks, compared to white folks, even for crimes that are committed by white folks at the same rate or higher (like drug crimes; white folks do more drugs and serve less time for it than black folks). Felons don't often become leaders in the business world.

There are systemic changes that are needed to fix this problem. I didn't think it was particularly relevant to this article so I explicitly excluded it from my comment, but one cannot deny that government plays a huge role in all of this.
If i had been referencing the desperate attempt of a bunch of pseudo-scientists to cover up for the fact that they have had no clothes for centuries, i would have capitalized the 'i' and the 'd'.

Edit 01: Artificial bugs me. Who are we to draw a line between artificial and natural? It may seem unlikely, but everything we know of as 'natural' may just be really well crafted machines that were made to iterate on their own. That is why i shied away from 'artificial' or 'alien'. With the possibility of simulated universes, i feel like there is a lot more possibility on the table as it were.
The tricky part of working on an IETF spec, though, is that a consensus is required. It's very possible that nobody thought of that idea, but it's also possible somebody did and it wasn't considered worth the complexity.

On another note, if you want it to be reversible, wouldn't you just slash-delimit the two lists?
The nonzero probability was more toward the journalistic implications than the financial implications. TechCrunch had written several articles on how Meerkat would feed a new generation of empathy, which I strongly question.
Well, I guess it's time for me to identify as a non-jew just long enough to pick up some easy cash!

Seriously, how does this strike anybody as acceptable?
For example, imagine if there was a prize in college that was available to everybody but degenerate Germans. People would be upset, and rightly so.
A few days late, but I just saw this post in my referrals. I wanted to chime in I've been working on devmarks.io for the past few months. It is still pretty early, but hopefully it's helpful for a few people. Feel free to reach out to me if you run into any issues!
What's the best way to learn rust for low latency programming in 2022?
Alcohol acts a lot like benzodiazepines in the brain, and it inhibits the serotonin transporter like SSRIs do, and it has NDRI-like action, as well. Personally, I think a lot of alcohol consumption is self-medicating to treat symptoms that could be treated with drugs with better safety profiles. Of course, self-medication with addictive substances leads to physical dependence, making it harder to substitute other drugs for alcohol after awhile.

I'm friends with someone who went from multiple organ failure in the hospital from chronic alcoholism, to recovery with psychiatric treatment, and it seems like GABAergics like gabapentin and an SSRI help them feel okay without alcohol. At least in the US, this can be prohibitively expensive, and they're stuck with tens of thousands of dollars of medical debt, but that beats being dead.
I have spent years of my life trying to build out open source projects or free/inexpensive startups. The projects with the most effort and time put into them have often received the most indifference or even hostility in reception.

Basically, popularity and merit are not related. For your project to become popular, you need a consistent marketing campaign, luck, and the most important thing -- don't expect anyone to do anything different from what they already planned on doing.

Oftentimes, if something is actually kind of stupid or trite or in some way is a regression, that has a much better chance of becoming popular.

But your question is relevant to me because I have not been able to sleep because I was going over ideas in my head for a new lightweight type of web protocol. Which I plan to write up. But because it A) seems really awesome and well thought out to me, and B) requires people to start doing something differently, I expect to be met with indifference (totally ignored) or hostility. But it's such an awesome idea and I wasted all day thinking about it, I am going to put it in my GitHub and post it somewhere anyway. Although posting is often pointless because things often end up with 0-5 votes.
And OO spaghetti ("lasagna") can be the worst. Class hierarchies 6 levels deep. Some methods overridden. Needless abstract classes with single implementations. "Logic" spread out all over the code base.
Rust versioning is different than the custom in lots of other languages. There are lots of perfectly good mature 0.x libraries.
Reminds me of this article also about NJ: https://www.nytimes.com/1996/09/29/nyregion/living-with-a-ra...

“Half a mile away, in Orange, is the abandoned factory where the U.S. Radium Corporation made luminous watch dials from 1915 to 1926. At the time, nobody knew radium was dangerous; it was only after women who worked at the factory began getting sick and dying of cancer that the Essex County medical examiner, Dr. Harrison A. Martland, spotted the connection.

By that time, soil tainted with radioactive tailings from the factory had been used to fill in low-lying areas of Essex County -- a total of 210 acres in Glen Ridge, Montclair and West Orange. It was not until 1981 that the E.P.A. -- as part of a national initiative -- conducted an aerial survey of the 12 square miles around the U.S. Radium plant. Ground surveys over the next two years confirmed the presence of dangerous gamma radiation, and the problem was first revealed publicly at the end of 1983.”

I've thankfully had my TiVo to use for Netflix as a backup, but the TiVo interface for it is extremely limited by comparison. No searching, recommendations, captions, or anything other than the instant queue; anything else has to be done from a PC. Oh, and the normally slow input for TiVo is even worse when using the Netflix interface...

I'm tempted to buy a Roku or Apple TV just to use until PSN is back...
I like this idea.

With Ruby 1.9, you have a range of ways to paint over the syntax, like you allude to:

Stylish.generate do
rule "div.section" do
p line_height: 1.5
a text_transform: 'uppercase'
end
end

Interestingly, you could go further and make this almost look like CSS:

Stylish.generate do
rule "div.section" {
p { line_height: 1.5 }
a { text_transform: 'uppercase' }
}
end

(To do this, you'd have to let the p and a methods to accept blocks. For anyone who doesn't know, the interpreter will bind blocks instead of treating the braces as a hash parameter if you omit the parens.)

You could even make the HTML elements (like div) into objects and use some #method_missing magic to allow the following:

Stylish.generate {
div.section {
p { line_height: 1.5 }
a { text_transform: 'uppercase' }
}
}

So yeah, I like the library a lot. Ruby has some interesting possibilities in this space. (Then again, so does Lisp.)
It's obviously a rejection, but not obviously for the reason stated. From his point of view, he's just received a forward of an "open letter" that some blogger he's never heard of has already published seeking to gather attention at his expense. My guess is that he really wanted to write "Who are you? Go fuck yourself" but thought better of it, and this was really the only point he could score given how little he knows about the blogger.
I agree re. the loaded phrase.

The official story is a conspiracy (theory) too. The only thing that's different between the various explanations is who the /conspirators/ are.

But there's no doubt that on that day a group of people acted to follow an agenda they had planned together, one that was against the U.S.
> My teammates(4-5 yrs of experience) can not write code that will print a directory structure.

Let them first get through fizz-buzz test, then we can talk of traversing a directory through code.

For the uninitiated, one needs to understand that most (numbers are in 75% and above, and am not kidding) of the 'developers' out here are in the IT industry not because of their love for software/programming but because it pays relatively well. And those who truly love programming are the real outcasts here.
Have you ever thought about packaging up the analytics you can derive from this into a product offering?

The inspiration you mentioned in another comment is the exact impetus that would make for a lucrative offering, particularly on the agency side. Things such as email cadence, offerings, screenshots of the specific emails, etc. Either at an individual brand level, rolled up to a pre-defined category, or allowing individuals to choose their own basket of companies to create benchmarks from. Would be really useful when creating pitches, but also for ongoing digest reports for competitive monitoring.

And that's just based off of re-packaging what you're already showing. There are lots of additional useful opportunities that would only varying levels of effort to unlock.

Isn't "driverless printing" essentially a standard printing protocol + a way to describe the printers capabilities ? If so I would say that driverless printing has been a thing since Postscript was invented (early 80s, if I am not mistaken)?
>If you pay them, Facebook will run any ‘political’ ad you want, even if it’s a lie

Most media outlets are propaganda machines, full of white lies. The problem many have with facebook is there's no longer a high barrier to entry to control people's opinions.
One was killed while on another vehicle... the other was killed by yet unidentified hit and run driver that was likely impaired at a speed great enough it launched her body more than ten feet into a field, to be found days after the fact and needing to be identified by dental records, almost certainly ending her life at the second of impact with the vehicle and if not she would have died from the impact with the ground.

Cars versus people not in another car, often result in death regardless of any little piece of plastic or rubber you put on a car. Plastic and rubber added makes the driver feel better, it does little to protect people.
Unlike any other previous Tesla, or for that matter any other previous electric car, this is a reasonable value proposition. Everyone is so busy panning the looks they are overlooking the utility of this truck. Even the Model 3 is expensive compared to its peers at $35k. This this is priced competitive with non-electric trucks, heck, it's priced extremely well versus electric trucks. A 6 seat truck with a 6.5 foot truck bed and a 3500 pound capacity for $40k is genuinely competitive with GM/ Ford, likewise $50k for a 4WD truck which tows 14k pounds is absolutely reasonable. Unless you are regularly driving more than 250 miles per day, being able to charge at home is way better than filling up at gas stations.
I really noticed this when I caught business folks conflating the two.

Often the more easily you can describe the situation, the more code it takes to make it Just Work.

Simple for the user is harder for me.
