Not even talking about Costco. The neighborhood Asian grocery I shop at has it for $3-4 per pound, pretty much all the time.
"China’s only Level 4 microbiology lab that is equipped to handle deadly coronaviruses, called the National Biosafety Laboratory, is part of the Wuhan Institute of Virology." In fact, when all this started, China was quite open about the lab story. Only when the containment failed, CCP decided to erase the lab story from the news.
Sadly I can not point you to a single piece of documentation that covers everything. That's definitely an area Julia can improve.
Writing down the things "everyone" does, so newcomers don't have to learn them again.

The Pkg manual doesn't have a tutorial on standard practice.
But it's worth reading the compat section and making sure to always set your compats
https://julialang.github.io/Pkg.jl/v1/compatibility/

And the section on creating one's own project. So as not to need to use the global environment.
And alternative to using `activate` after starting Julia (and my preferred way) is to start Julia with the `--project=.`

https://julialang.github.io/Pkg.jl/v1/environments/#Creating...

And can go further and create projects via PkgTemplates which is was "everyone" does.
Because a good project looks just like a package (one might as well consider them synonyms when looking for thus kind of advice)

Interesting to learn this, thanks for the information.
When I see videos like this, or read other experiences of LSD, I wonder if I'm not missing out on something. LSD, uniquely amongst mainstream recreational drugs, seems to have the promise of an outright transcendental upside, with supposedly little downside.

It saddens me that there is no safe and legal way for me to try it.
Totally agree.

Also, if you have a flexible enough schedule, your desk is only a satellite office. If you want to be alone and in the quiet all day, home is often great for that.

I think some people miss out on the possibility that their employer pays more for their office than they pay for rent!

The final note about feeling self conscious leaving right at 5, I get it, but if you're effective, and the company is run with appropriate principles, that shouldn't be a thing. Leave at 3, catch up mail at home, who cares?

It's not reasonable to keep a bunch of opaque walls separating all employees so they can have flexible schedules while pretending not to. That is not progress.
I have to say that although it feels that way, lately they've been sort of active.

They've been using twitter since October at: http://twitter.com/amazonmturk

Largely I attribute this to Natala Menezes, their newish Product Manager.
Both actually: Time-based attacks exploiting the fact that we have fast networks, and rainbow/brute-force attacks exploiting CPU speed.

The way I saw it put was that SO was more about low level technical programming details, and the new Programmers SE site was for subjective discussions about programming in general. Somebody said something like "SO is for when you're in front of the keyboard, and Programmers SE is for when you're in front of the whiteboard." Something like that...
Never mind. I wrote the exploit code for that vulnerability. It's awesome. It's still definitely not a crypto backdoor (it lets you run dictionary attacks against crypto blocks in a CBC message stream, which is terrible, but not exactly an FBI-friendly feature addition), but it's not theoretical.
Yes. No Android yet but this seems worth $10 to me. I'd do Chinese first. There's a big market for that in California; many Asian families have a language gap between grandparents or parents born abroad and a younger generation born here. Basic communication is easy but things slow down fast if conversation turns to anything complex. Being able to print some words neatly by hand in English and instantly get Cantonese would sell like crazy - I have 5 in-laws for whom it would be a no-brainer.
Their demands seem entirely reasonable to me. I'm ashamed to belong to a society in which such demands must be made, more so that they would be ignored.
Welp, makes that decision easy. Not making the most important tool in my toolbox one that I can't hack to my liking.

I was doing registry work at the time the new gtld program was launching, and remember thinking how silly it all was but specifically some of the tlds being sought. Sure enough, I recognize a few of them listed.
I see a lot of people, a lot, spending time in their cars. Adults between duties sit in theirs on parking spots. Teens spending nights watching movies.

I’ve been trying to deal with this since long before the pandemic.

Closest I’ve gotten is getting temporary distraction from it via hobbies, but even that is volatile.
I can't speak with any authority on Clubhouse but I imagine it uses mobile numbers to create a social graph exactly like Signal does. A robust social graph seems like an important prerequisite to any successful social network and our phonebooks are one of the oldest social graphs present.
Only against rental income right? Otherwise one could get a tax break simply by renting their own house to themselves. If just against rental income, then there still isn’t a difference (they get a tax break because tenants pay rent and for the repairs indirectly post tax).

Also, they can’t both be pretax and deductible. The former, the money never shows up on taxes at all, the latter they show up as a subtraction on taxable income.
I have a son enrolled in boston public schools. I live in a gentrifying part of town. When I go to the prarent meetings the principal (who is an absoutely AMAZING women easily putting in 80 hour weeks) had to fight tooth and nail for funds to add a social worker to the school. The range of incomes between students is HUGE. There are a lot of parents struggling to pay rent, and definatley don't have the ability to invest in their childs education outside school the way I've been fortunate enough to.

We put about $8k into a fund to help these parents... but it's not even close to enough. Honestly, if you want to improve outcomes, maybe we should look into helping struggling families pay rent, and become more stable.
I believe the question here is very similar to that posed by the sex offender registry. To those who are interested in said question, I'd recommend listening to this debate on the topic of such registries: https://reason.com/2018/02/06/all-sex-offender-registries-sh...

I generally supported them in the past, but the evidence presented here was the tipping point and I now believe they do more harm than good. I would extend that principle to say that past a certain point, we shouldn't constantly remind people of past transgressions. Though I do understand the other side, and there is definitely a part of me that would always want to know if a sex offender lived near a child of mine.
I have looked at it actually, and it's pretty neat, but for the way that I do things it has a fatal flaw: the ingredients are exotic (i.e. where I live they're expensive and you'd need to go to a specialty shop for some of them) and don't overlap much between recipes.

From the looks of things, he's a much better cook than me. The stuff I make is far more ghetto, but revolves around like 15 ingredients or so that I basically buy every time I go to the grocery store. That keeps me from having to actually plan meals. I usually cook in the opposite direction -- I look at what I have on hand and figure out what I can make from that.

My gut sense is that that would be more approachable for folks that are transitioning from fast-food and frozen pizzas.
I have a MySQL database, which has large amount of Japanese text data. When I convert it from UTF8 to UTF16, it reduces certainly disk space.

I did some LSD about 35 years ago. More than once.

For a few days afterward it utterly knackered my ability to write good code, or do anything that required concentrated, logical thinking. Also, I felt like crap (think "bad mental hangover" without the horrible side-effects caused by alcohol).

That said, it was a pretty interesting experience. I highly recommend it, just not habitually. Someone (Timothy Leary?) said that the best way to do LSD would be in a sunny English meadow with the Archbishop of Canterbury as your companion.
OH YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME!!!!!!!!!!!!! I built something like this a long long time ago as a quirky project for my CS class at Columbia. When I pitched the idea to my buddies, they thought it was stupid and that my prof would have given me a shitty grade. So I scrapped it and submitted another project instead. I had 3 bots hooked up to the Facebook API on April 1st and it was so believable that my girlfriend thought I was cheating on her. One time she said "who the hell is this Rachel??" and would not let me leave the room until I told her who she was. I eventually confessed and she thought it was a hilarious idea. Too bad I got too busy with other shit that I put the project away on the side burner. Now I'm thinking about pulling it out again..........

Another announcement about containers went largely unnoticed: Ubuntu released Ubuntu Core, a Ubuntu variant optimized for cloud and IoT security. But the documentation and developer adoption seems to be behind CoreOs currently.

I haven't done anything with CoreOs yet, but from my personal feeling I'd prefer Ubuntu over something that is based on Gentoo. I may be completely wrong on this though.
there is a need for some tool similar to glassdoor that can verify the authencity of the info posted by a user (email address, position, etc) that can be used reliably by others to confidently share salaries without retribution.
Does anyone know why Google ("organise the world’s information and make it universally accessible" ¹) don't allow people to disclose their YouTube earnings ("It’s a violation of my agreement to say how much a comparable number of Youtube plays pays" ²).

It assumed that the Node had a temporary network fault and did not automatically remove the Node. Marathon also did not automatically schedule replacement containers on other Nodes.

Water is one of the most effective radiation shields we have for cosmic rays. NASA has contemplated using a water shield for Mars astronauts. There is a reason most fallout shelters are built under a pool when possible.

But the errors won't be random at all.

E.g. take class A of students from one culture and class B of students from another culture, and assume the students all feel the same level of moderate anger, but the two cultures have different "anger display rules" as they're called.

The detector might judge all the students from one class as angry, but none from the other. Aggregating students into classes doesn't fix anything.

Similarly, if you took some students who have a certain expression when they're happy, and other students who have the same expression when they're afraid, and mixed them together in the same class, then whatever emotion the detector is interpreting the expression to mean is going to be triggered by completely unrelated things, and the signal won't be meaningful at all.
The way salary works in the nba is the top players like LeBron can only get paid a % of the salary cap. So half of the teams have a star or two like LeBron making 25-30% of the cap. So the best players all get paided the same. Older players have a min, teams have a cap. Based on skill/age players slot into pay ranges that match their output.

These are the maximums for 2021
28,649,250 (players with less than 6 years experience)
$40,108,95 (players with 10 years plus)

The nba was a bad example.

My last two employers did consulting as their business model. I am a much, much better engineer for having a few years of professional experience, and my users are much better off for it. It is why my website doesn't crash on a daily basis. It was an opportunity to learn workflows, practical system architecture, build processes, source control, disciplined use of processes/tools, etc, all that stuff that the CS curriculum doesn't cover but will totally wreck you if you ignore.

I also got web development experience, which I was severely lacking at graduation.

Something which I didn't learn while working at the consulting firm but picked up when I actually started consulting: selling stuff, negotiation, moving orders through the pipeline, and the ability to look a CEO in the eye and not be reduced to a quivering blob of Jello. These all help.
One thing I don't understand is the tech pundits' tendencies to implicitly imply that to build the next big company on the web, one needs to stop, kill, destroy, annihilate the last big Internet company.

Why can't Facebook be an unstoppable juggernaut when it comes to building a social network and becoming a utility for social connections for most, if not all, people for a broad base of use cases and there still be another big Internet company emerge?

Just like how Google is an unstoppable juggernaut when it comes to search and contextual text ads.

Take location for example. There could possibly be a next big Internet company the likes of Google, Amazon, Facebook that emerges which owns the location+mobile space. One reason why everyone seems to worry whether Facebook is or is not an unstoppable juggernaut is that companies are linking location+mobile AND social networks. So they ponder incessantly whether Facebook can just switch on location and mobile services and wipe their startup off the face of the map.

The thing is, maybe if they focus on location+mobile and make it work without the social aspect, then there is no worry about Facebook using its advantages in the social space to compete.
"For example, a video of me demonstrating how to do doughnuts in an RX8 took 20 minutes to encode, and it was only a minute long!"

Whoa. I'm no video encoding expert, but I was able to find some pretty good settings using CRF of ffmpeg that encoded a video in near real-time. In fact you could even do live streaming off of it. CRF supposedly bloats the filesize, but I was able to get decent HD video at about 7-11mb/sec if I recall.

If anything the dollar has become stronger since we got off the gold standard…

That's absolutely not true. Getting off the gold standard removed the pretense that there was a limit to the amount of dollars that could be printed. The purchasing power of the dollar has continued to drop since then—https://howmuch.net/articles/rise-and-fall-dollar

There's also no guarantee the dollar will remain the reserve currency, as China, Russia and others are creating ways to get off the dollar standard [1].

> What law was broken?

The above comment is very, very uninformed. Aviation is a heavily regulated industry, totally unlike IT.

There's several legal avenues for individual prosecution:

1) False certification documents about MCAS performance were submitted to the FAA, so it would be very easy to find out who those people were, and who their managers were. The US government has no problem prosecuting people for fraud in the aviation world. (FAA certification is almost totally dependent on paperwork, both in mfg. and operations.)

2) The manager of the test pilots who wrote the critical SMS messages was fired, so that is another easily traceable route related to the above.

3) Southwest asked for a penalty of $1 million per airplane if type-specific traning was required, so both Southwest and Boeing negotiators agreed in a reckless manner to disregard airliner safety with that perverse incentive. (Reckless is a catchall in the FARs for pilots, but could be applied to companies and mfgs.)

https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/14/91.13

To give Congress credit, they are re-visiting the ODA delegation process because of MCAS, which Boeing abuses by having managers pressure ODAs:

https://www.aviationpros.com/aircraft/commercial-airline/new...

Boeing is the US' largest exporter, so should face intense government scrutiny as it affects not just passengers and suppliers, but all Americans.

Source: commercially-rated airplane pilot who has followed MCAS very closely, far more closely than anybody else on HN.

No.

Simon Marlow and Philip Wadler tried to make a type system for Erlang and couldn't do it [1]. And if they couldn't do it... well, it's a very hard problem, for many of the reasons you cited.

From what I understand, the general consensus is that Erlang's dynamic types are a small price to pay for the flexibility and features afforded by the runtime. To be fair, what makes Erlang/OTP awesome is how the system works as a cohesive whole, rather than any particular feature of the language itself.

What is the utility of advancing a theory that is unfalsifiable in the Popperian sense? This category of theory, even if on strong philosophical footing, seems to be quite apart from theories that can be used to build devices that won't work if the theory turns out to be wrong.

In any case, I doubt very seriously that there are more than a few thousand people alive who can have an informed opinion on this.
> reasonable average daily use of 1.4 cycles, the expected life would be 5-6 years. NHTSA has not presented any evidence to suggest that this expected life is outside industry norms or that the eMMC flash memory device itself does not comport with that average lifetime estimate.

Instead, NHTSA has asserted that the component should last at least the useful life of the vehicle, essentially double its expected lifespan. Tesla has significant concerns with the impact tentative conclusion.

Despite popular belief, corporations are in fact not faceless entities.

Let's place the blame and embarrassment squarely where it belongs:

Elon Musk thinks 6 years is the useful life of these Tesla vehicles.

Perhaps, but just like Apple they have a refurbished category where you can get very good deals - and that's on top of them having sales regularly.

I should add that I called Dyson once for my 7 year old wireless vacuum which was having battery problems. They mailed me a replacement completely free of charge. The upselling might be there, but the up-service also seems to be there.
As a musician and artist who experiences mild synesthesia, this is throwing me off. I don't associate the colors illustrated in the example with the sounds I'm hearing.

I don't have anything other than personal experience to back this up, but I would be surprised if it's not a completely subjective experience—one person's synesthesia probably doesn't match another person's, per se.

Just curious for any musician's out there, when you're playing in the key of D dorian, for example, what colors go through your mind? F major? E minor?

All these have specific colors that tend to dominate my imagination.
