As opposed to what they've been doing until now..?

My interpretation is that Windows 10 will by the last 'version' of Windows, in other words, that there won't be a Windows 11. So, for as long as you own the device, Windows will be supported on it.
Thank you. Those are some cool drawings and the painting definitely deserves that frame.
Very true, Ardour is fantasic for a ProTools-like application. For me, Ableton Live has a great workflow for demoing songs quickly. Just to not act like I'm better than what I wrote on my blog - I'm also set in my ways and unable to adapt / unwilling to make it work ;)
Right; you shouldn't be writing bash scripts while tripping :)

I was just giving an example many people here would be familiar with so I could actually go through examples of each 'new level.' The whole thinking pattern goes on over and over starting with new 'seeds' to abstract from.
Hey, didn't mean to be mean, my apologies. I love to see people experimenting with new things. I may play around with it tonight :)
I think pavel_lishin is asking what things have you tried while on mushroooms - you indidcated that you plan out what you want to do and 'try'.
This sounds like you do not have a working backup plan. Instead of installing the new Ubuntu, make sure you have a backup plan, test it and automate it to secure you against a random massive computer failure that would make you unable to get work done.
Interesting. Seems like a big opportunity for a mobile carrier to push how easy it is to block numbers on their service.
And that's why they have multiple fully-isolated regions. Availability zones are a purposeful tradeoff that provides easier to use service with higher inter-zone communication performance and lower cost.
My favorite part:

The principal role of the server is to ship an application to the client (Javascript), along with data (JSON), and let the client weave those into a DOM.
This violates Coursera's terms of service. The relevant language:

"...as a condition of accessing the Sites, you agree not to...(c) use any high-volume, automated or electronic means to access the Sites (including without limitation, robots, spiders, scripts or web-scraping tools)"

https://www.coursera.org/about/terms

I was actually going to write such a script myself as an exercise (I'm new to programming), but this language dissuaded me.

EDIT: Could someone please explain to me why this simple statement of fact would be downvoted?
Who are these nefarious "they"?
> No-one likes rules against speeding.

I can't imagine this is true. Not many drivers overtly claim to support rules against speeding, but I expect most people would not campaign to remove them because it's not hard to imagine potential problems in their absence.
No. My colleague was tested on Wednesday, still no result.
> test extensively

You can't manage what you can't measure.

To this date, I have seen no reliable data on how fast the disease spreads, or how dangerous it actually is. Testing only 'people with shortness of breath and high fever for more than 4 days' is so biased it's not even funny. There could be 10x or even 100x more people with milder symptoms that are never considered for testing. Reporting '10% of people tested die' is also very misleading, since we only tested people with severe symptoms in the first place.

We can poll 5 times a week for the chances of Biden or Sanders or Warren to become Trump's challenger in fall. Perhaps we could also perform randomized tests every week and get a better sense of the shape of the danger we're facing. Yes, testing for coronavirus is more expensive than calling a phone number, but shutting down the country indefinitely is orders of magnitude more expensive.
Your water simulation example isn't impressive. It doesn't splash nor wave. It's just a simple rippling, refracting surface.
I can say that my apparently unusual innate ability to get slack and zoom video and screen sharing to work has been in great demand for the last few weeks.
A little bit of both.

My team of 40-50 is going from a 20% occasional telecommute model to 100%. So we’re learning and adapting.
Virologist Drosten, co-discoverer of the first SARS virus, thinks that activities like jogging alone are harmless.
Only the ones optimizing for money and not for passion.
Page layout matters, and Google's has become cluttered. For example, https://cloud.google.com/sql/docs/postgres/private-ip It's so busy I've been opening the browser console to delete sections: the fixed header over 100 pixels tall, the left-column site map, the right-column page map, and the footer. This is what happens when you let Marketing design documentation.

I believe part of the problem is also the font. Roboto is okay for a user interface. For prose I prefer serif.

My favorite page layout: http://www.linfo.org/
Crazy, I have been experimenting with this very thing since I read about creating alkaline noodles. The texture is not exactly optimal (more chewy/stretchy), at least compared to traditional. Also tried adding small amounts of baked soda to typical home made pasta dough base, with less success (tastes different).

Also inspired me to add semolina flour to my ramen noodles rather than AP which I love.
OP's problem was discipline. I don't he doesn't realize that working on OSS would be better, but he said he can't seem to do that.

Frankly it seems like OP is more depressed than anything - alone and isolated in a strange place.
If you don't like the terms for which someone is offering their original creations, why don't you just buy a different product sold on terms you agree with? There's no shortage of indie content out there, you know. Or maybe create it yourself? By pirating it instead, you acknowledge that these content creators make something unique and non-fungible and irreplaceable, but then assert that nonetheless they shouldn't have the right to set the terms on which they distribute those creations to the public.

I think the pro-piracy position is just totally irrational. If I'm gay and I don't like Chick Fil-A's anti-gay message, should I: a) refuse to do business with them; or b) steal chicken sandwiches instead?[1] The big media companies don't have a monopoly on content. The costs to both produce and consume indie content are lower than they ever have been.

[1] At this point someone will bring out the "copying isn't stealing" hypothetical. Technically true, but consider this: any product has a delta between its market price and its marginal cost of production. The marginal cost of producing a copy of a piece of digital content isn't zero, but it's very close to it. But lots of products sell for far more than their marginal cost of reproduction. Is it okay to steal sandwiches from Chick fil-A if you leave an amount of money that covers the cost of producing the next sandwich? Apply that reasoning to products like Apple computers or Prada handbags that sell for far more than their marginal cost of production. Is it okay to take those items and leave an amount of money that compensates for the cost of replacing it? Or do we have a general understanding that companies that produce things have a right to the profit they can earn on each item?
If you want to get your feet wet, spin up a virtual machine with something you want to get to know, and do stuff with it. Build things manually and learn how they all fit together, then try to repeat the process with automation. Through that, you can build a development environment that you know in and out, which you can then build upon using whatever technology/framework/language you decide on using.
But that leads to platform inequality. Wake up, it's 2015, stop being regressive.
Thanks for the pointer.

I installed a debian 11 VM, installed then launched the matrix-archive.py script --all-rooms with my not-for-profit ISP matrix+element credentials. I follow mostly my not-for-profit ISP channels (quite small) and may be 4 or 5 rooms on matrix.org, fosdem.org and mozilla.org.

After 30 minutes it has written 878 MBytes of archives and it's not done yet.

I don't see an option to resume / append to an existing archive. So I assume I will have to restart from scratch each day?

I wonder: will it scale if everyone uses this script?
I wish I cared about the battery life in my laptop, it might even make me want one of those M1 devices.
Rent will fall, I doubt home prices will fall that much though.
Oh I didn't know that.

Can you point me to their liability policy?

[EDIT] this was the best I could find

> You are always ultimately responsible for driving in a safe manner, even when using Pilot Assist.

I don't think comma.ai should be faulted for being open. I have trouble finding any statements on liability on any other lane assist technology. Would love to be proven wrong with an actual policy.
Bitcoin plays a role in the crypto ecosystem. It's like gold. Ethereum is like the finance industry and things like DOGE are like currency. The value will be pegged to BTC, making it the foundation for the ecosystem.
This one is less painful for the devs to break, if they need to, because it only works 99% of the time. If you rely on this behaviour for correctness, rather than performance, it will set you right pretty quickly.

If you do want to take advantage of this, maybe you can go a level deeper: dig into Python's behaviour when allocating memory for strings, and figure out in what circumstances you can be guaranteed to get the same id back. E.g. maybe if you create a 28-character string, there will always be room to append 4 more.
Residential land is far too valuable for someone to ever propose an oil refinery or manufacturing on it. The separation between industrial uses and residential uses were already underway before residential zoning was invented, and there is no reason to believe single family residential - which is a particular and extremely restrictive form of residential zoning - is necessary to enforce this kind of basic planning distinction.
It really is terrible, and many enthusiasts don't seem to understand enough about Bitcoin to even realize it. For so many it's just a way to make a quick buck when Elon tweets about it.

To put in in numbers, according to the Bitcoin Energy Consumption Index[1] (they link to other research that arrive at similar conclusions, if not worse): the total footprint is almost 37 million tons of CO2, a single transaction accounting for over 300 kg. A single transaction requires the same amount of energy as an average household over 22 days, or emits the same amount of CO2 as a 2020 Civic driving 1,000 miles.

The comparison with the visa network is just as wild: a single bitcoin transaction takes more energy than 432,000 visa transactions.

At this point it's highly irresponsible to continue using and supporting Bitcoin.

I found this to be surprising about the entire coverage of the case.

Following tech blogs and checking HN links, you would've thought that Pao's case was bulletproof, with some minor nuances and qualifications. After reading the full details of the arguments on both sides, I now understand why the jury ruled the way it did.
For those that store the user tables in the same db as everything else, what is the big deal about protecting passwords in particular? The attacker already has much more. If it is because of password re-use then that is what should be prevented.

I have followed Tim's slow carb diet for about 2.5 months and have lost around 50 lbs. It works for me.
There's a spectrum between "simple" and "wrong" though. I thought grep/uniq/tr were fine, as a correct implementation would be a straightforward extension of the code presented (well, the size bound on uniq is real, but swap storage is free these days so who care?).

The tail example wasn't like that. It's the wrong algorithm. It's also in a class of algorithms that's particularly difficult in functional languages.

Showing easy examples and skipping the hard stuff, IMHO, is endemic with "enthusiast" languages like this. I don't think that shows the language in a very good light.

I feel like this is true of every computing platform in general.
I'm not in any way agreeing that what was done was ok, however I have observed that my dog didn't seem entirely self aware. He use to attack his legs, tail, farts etc. He would recoil in horror when he hurt himself.
Intel will be in a lot of trouble soon (within 2-3 years).

Forget the Core line chips. That's irrelevant. It will remain a cash cow for the next few years, but a rapidly shrinking cash cow nonetheless. They'll move upmarket with them, until there's nowhere to move to.

ARM chips' improvements over the next years will make them "good enough" for most people, and Intel's Core chips which cost 10x more (literally) will be very uncompetitive in that environment.

Their only solution is to fight with Atom, but so far no success there, and even if they succeed, it means their profits will lower dramatically, and they need to survive as a company with much lower revenue and profit, which means the "all-powerful Intel" of the past will be but a faint memory in the future.
I think that should be labelled "does not work full stop".

I've had this rant before but WebKit is becoming the new IE6 and it's pissing me off as a Firefox and IE user.
It depends where you work in the Bank. I worked at BAML for a while and apart from staying late on a Friday to release outside of US business hours, I didn't have many late nights.

The most insane period of work I had was when I worked at another bank and we had to put in place modifications to a system by a certain date, otherwise a downstream core trading system was predicted to fail (by capacity management) and the bank would be out of that particular market.

Even that was only every weekend for 6 weeks or so and regular nights of 9pm+
putting second heart into a dog may look like some transplant experimentation. Butchering and sewing 2 dogs together - nope, it is 1959, it is for the "wow" effect in the show of "the Soviet science under the wise leadership of the Communist Party is the most advanced science in the world". No wonder that they freely let the LIFE journalists in.
Like any high pressure job, there is a certain amount of gallows humour. This is no different than what you would find amongst, say, A&E (ER) medical staff.

That was an excellent essay. You made some great observations here:

Many of those railing against the idea of letting in more programmers (or workers in general) have a simplified view of the economy, in which there are a fixed number of jobs to go around. 10,272, say. And if you let in more people, there will be more competition for those jobs, and therefore lower wages. The people arguing against immigration are afraid that they won’t make as much money.

This is known as the lump of labor fallacy. It is zero-sum thinking in which for one to gain, another must lose. It is wrong, with the simplest example being that there are clearly more jobs and more money in the US economy now than 100 years ago. Currently, there are approximately 320 million people in the United States. 100 years ago, there were roughly 100 million. Clearly, something happened for the country to have gained both people, jobs, and money: the economy grew.

...

People living in a country founded by immigrants trying to keep out other people hoping for a better life for themselves and their families is questionable, at best, and very ugly at its worst. In reading the reactions to Graham’s essay, I would not ascribe blatant, outright racism to most people commenting, but there’s certainly an ugly undercurrent of “us” and “them”. ... At one time, it was considered acceptable to keep black people out of ‘good jobs’. Attempting to keep foreigners out of jobs seems broadly similar to me: it’s immoral and based on bad economics.
It does until it doesn't. Let's say you only want to move the bad students to the principal. Then you want to model pop quizzes. Students who score 1/5 on three or more per month go to the principal. Or call their parents, whatever.

After a while you realize that you're doing all this stuff to 'bad' students. This is where you really start to want some way to organize all the stuff you're doing to these bad students, as all the code you have dealing with them is sprinkled liberally through the codebase in conditionals in your procedures.

You'll start pulling out logic and things will start breaking. What you thought was less code is just crazy to manage.

The Gilded Rose kata illustrates the dangers of procedural code excellently.

There was no bull security theatre when travelling;
There were fewer distractions for children.

Who cares about offending people who consider Christmas exclusionary when your CTR doubles? Most Americans still consider Christmas a “religious holiday” so this email means, to most people, your company is “picking” Christianity. I personally disagree with this practice.

That was certainly the bet about a decade or two ago in many industries.

Now, over the past 5 years or so we're seeing online tech magazines move into print[0], record labels racing to get back up to speed for vinyl printing[1], and "lo-fi" looks and sounds and devices taking up a larger and larger space in pop culture[2].

If anything, I get the sense that the younger generations are seeing the value in attention and peace, and are moving in directions that afford them more of that—or at least control over that in their own lives and thoughts.

The general attitude, at least as far as I've discerned from my own observations, h as been that "everything has it's optimal place" rather than adopting one tech to rule them all.

[2] I don't have a nice summary for this one. It's just everywhere I look.

As with most things, I gather humanity is continually optimizing for itself. And what that looks like is what most gamblers usually get wrong because our foresight is often just that limited—especially when the result is going back to something most people thought we were done with. We are just a bunch of monkeys acting strangely, after all.
The very fact that lowly private Manning had access to this stuff should tell you that the intelligence services of literally any country in the world have access to this.

The system is only effective at hiding information from citiziens, who are not able to access the very information that politicians use to guide their decisions. That is, of course, why they happily go on record with blatant lies, at no risk of being exposed. Contrast this with their complete non-statements in this current NSA situation; they would rather make no statement at all than be exposed as a liar, for no one knows what else Snowden/Greenwald will release that could make previous statements look like disinformation.
FWIW, I see no difference on my Moto Photon... and it looks pretty much exactly the same (for better or worse) as it does in Chrome on Windows 7.
1Password: problem solved.
Just pick one and go with it. It really doesn't matter. Being a framework user is useless. What you should be striving for is being a problem solver and being a problem solver means understanding computation in general and not some specific bastardization of it in some framework like Rails, Angular, Ember, etc.
