Try again, and then again - the layers of meaning in the Bible are profound if you have the intellect to dive into them. It's brilliant in addressing different problems at different stages of life and ultimately about consciousness and something beyond. I'm not advocating it as a belief, just try trusting it and not setting up a straw man. Read "the divine conspiracy" by Dallas Willard or 12 Rules for Life by Jordan Peterson.
Have you ruled out the Draytek?
If he can't see it where he is then by definition it isn't being used in that location. Use on some other part of the planet isn't relevant because these frequencies don't propagate far.
>On top of that, it has higher speed and lower latency than even WiFi 6 on 5Ghz.

On a 802.11ac 5GHZ connection I'm getting 1ms pings to my router. Does lowering latency beyond that even make a difference?
The peacetime vs wartime mindset doesn't really fit with New Zealand's response. Maybe that's an outlier though.
Your Kubernetes node itself is Linux, so requires virtualization if your host machine is not Linux. Docker for Mac also works this way; when you run a container, it's running on a Linux VM that Docker sets up, not on your Mac directly.

Even on Linux, minikube uses a separate VM. It's just cleaner than having the kubelet running on your workstation directly. (microk8s takes a different approach and runs on your machine directly. The last time I interacted with it, it destroyed my coworker's workstation and we had to reinstall the machine completely. k8s is pretty invasive and really wants an entire machine at its disposal. VMs are just perfect for that.)
OK, the first known case was 8 Dec.

Do you doubt that health officials in Wuhan were - to put it mildly, incurious about the novel flu like sickness?
Not sure what the teams use these days, as they seem to have become more secretive about it as the technology has gotten better. But I’ve seen some of the commercial products that have the enormous surround screen, moving chassis, and thing attached to the helmet to simulate force on the neck. I’d imagine the better off teams have facilities like that. The software would certainly be better than the CodeMaster game, but I can’t imagine it being that much better than iRacing (apart from being more customised to the current tracks/cars).
C++ARM could also be an option. :)
a) I'd advice to start with something fun. Many people do a usenet/torrent stack (jellyfin/plex, radarr, sonarr, jackett, transmission, ombi, NZB*, etc). And honestly most things you'd want to self-host are reasonable to run in containers. E-mail. Huginn. Cryptocurrency node. CalDAV, file hosting (Nextcloud?). Personal web site and whatever side-projects you have. GitLab. Docker image repository.

b) IMO, self-hosting and less centralization of the digital services we rely on is highly desirable for society. (If k8s is the right solution for any particular individual to orchestrate their stuff is a different story). I think for most people who do this, it's a hobby and something they enjoy. Why would you have a vegetable patch when there's food in the store and your employer has a complementary lunch cafeteria?

Hackers gonna hack, you know.
Me and my wife we play any game, but our favourite is crash bandicoot. It's easy if one of us gets to game over. We pay in abs crushes, push-ups, sit-ups. If she or me spend 20min. It's 20x and so on.
I don’t think the lesson here is “be careful when parsing json” so much as it’s “stop writing quadratic code.” The json quadratic algorithm was subtle. I think most people’s mental model of sscanf is that it would be linear in the number of bytes it scans, not that it would be linear in the length of the input. With smaller test data this may have been harder to catch. The linear search was also an example of bad quadratic code that works fine for small inputs.

Some useful lessons might be:

- try to make test more like prod.

- actually measure performance and try to improve it

- it’s very easy to write accidentally quadratic code and the canonical example is this sort of triangular computation where you do some linear amount of work processing all the finished or remaining items on each item you process.

As I read the article, my guess was that it was some terrible synchronisation bug (eg download a bit of data -> hand off to two sub tasks in parallel -> each tries to take out the same lock on something (eg some shared data or worse, a hash bucket but your hash function is really bad so collisions are frequent) -> one process takes a while doing something, the other doesn’t take long but more data can’t be downloaded until it’s done -> the slow process consistently wins the race on some machines -> downloads get blocked and only 1 cpu is being used)

As others have already mentioned, blaming the decline solely on al-Ghazali is the simplistic, orientalist view. Neil deGrasse Tyson recently helped propagate this argument as well.

The reality was much more complex.

If you’re interested, I’d suggest checking out Dr. George Saliba’s writings on this topic. A good start is “Islamic Science and the Making of the European Renaissance”. For a shorter intro, check out this lecture [1].

In the art world every transaction is based on trust.

Also if Gursky made the photographs downloadable and the printing process was standard then his photos would have a very different price.
I would be curious to see how far you get with this approach.

It's very smart to ask to see some paying customers but that means they already have something developed and you won't be the first engineer joining. Hopefully they would be willing to give you enough equity to make your efforts worthwhile (assuming you're ok taking little to no salary)

Customers ready to pay is slightly more valuable than having done no customer development but of course a large portion of these maybe customers may never pay regardless which is still pretty high risk for you.

Good luck with it and please report back your results.
Or just any properly implemented JSON parser. That's a laughable small amount of JSON, which should easily be parsed in milliseconds.
It's not at all hard to believe if you've been playing video games for a while.

Everything is getting slower and slower, and nobody cares.

When I played the Atari 2600, I had to wait for the TV to warm up, but otherwise there were no games with anything approaching load times (with 128 bytes of RAM in the console, who would know). The NES didn't have much in the way of load times either, but you did have to fiddle with the cartridge slot. SNES and Genesis didn't usually load (Air Buster being a noticeable exception). CD based systems sure did like to load, but that's somewhat understandable. In the mean time, more and longer boot screens. The Switch uses a cartridge (or system flash/SD cards), but it likes to load forever too.

PC Gaming has had loading for longer, but it's been getting longer and longer.

Some arcade games have lengthy loading sequences, but only when you turn them on while they read their entire storage into RAM so they can be fast for the rest of the time they're on (which in arcades is usually all day).
peacocks can't talk. :D
Yeah, this is a common argument against drug legalization: "But are we really helping the addicts?"

The sooner people accept that addiction, like violence, will probably just never disappear completely, the better off they'll be. We're looking at a policy of harm reduction, not the fantasy that we can cure addiction. Some people will always be on the outliers. The question is, do we criminalize their behavior and add an entire criminal subculture or do we accept it in order to reduce the overall harm to society and the addict?

Very interesting. Thank you for correcting me.

a relatively large fraction of examples will be misclassified by networks trained from scratch with different hyper-parameters (number of layers, regularization or initial weights). The above observations suggest that adversarial examples are somewhat universal...
> You can effectively buy a $200,000 asset with only putting $40,000 (or even less) down. If you get a 20% appreciation in the asset over a period of time you've doubled your money.

If the price goes down 20% over a period of time, you've wiped out your investment. Free leverage is neutral to expected value, and leverage with interest has a negative impact on expected value.

The real value in residential real estate is the fact that the US government is prepared to spend unlimited amounts of money to make sure you don't lose your shirt. Because something something yeoman farmers. However, that means there's also a unique risk to bear. Just as the goldbug needs a greater fool to want his shiny, so to the real estate owner needs a government in place that will continue to massively subsidize the individual ownership of residential real estate. The US government, today and for the last 7 years, has issued, bought, or guaranteed the lion's share of residential mortgages. Take that away and prices fall dramatically.
In the same way, the point in the the third paragraph about incumbents always winning simulated elections in these countries is moot. Incumbents also literally almost always win elections in the US! Especially at the Congressional level, which is where real material changes are affected (or not).
> This is like saying, I beat my disobedient kid because I'd rather have a bruised disobedient kid than a non-bruised disobedient kid.

Hear, hear. It doesn't just improve the lives of drug addicts, it reduces crime (and not just the crime of possessing/consuming/selling drugs)and improves public health. I won't go so far as to say legalizing drugs is a Good Thing, but it's certainly the Least Bad Option.
Right, and Microsoft was still putting so much development work into OS/2 in 1989 that there was still some sort of feeling that OS/2 was possibly the future of Windows. (OS/2 development kits were shipped from Microsoft with Microsoft branding prominently on them right up until the OS/2 3.0 [WARP] split and the origins of Windows NT.)

In hindsight it is much more obvious that Microsoft's involvement in OS/2 was something of a trojan horse to fund early NT development and a short-term hedge in case people did trust the IBM brand more than the Microsoft brand, but at the time it was much more confusing.
I may have read it with the wrong tone.
Here I might disagree.
I am really against connection between productivity and wages, because I think the price of labour is defined by it's 'scarcity', not quality. Of course it could often correlate - a certain high-skilled engineer sought out by many companies, but I do not think that relationship is causal. There is no law connecting these (productivity and wage level) two.
Also there is political implication of looking at people who are poorly paid and saying something like "They should increase their skill-level to get out of poverty" which I think misses the mark totally.

Regarding Amazon and Walmart
Even though it might be not a real monopsony in literal sense, it could be an effective monopsony where Amazon and Walmart pay what they want essentially (due to the big difference in bargaining power between employees and employers). I'm not in US so it is not so easy for me to get context fully - but is there a scarcity in low-skilled labour? I thought that precisely that there is a lot of people who decide between shitty job and homelessness there is no real competition there.

My whole point is that looking at labour as a commodity which is being sold and bought on the market gives a much clearer view on issues like unions, anti-trust, monopoly.
Or, perhaps they had a year to clearly see they're perfectly incapable of doing so.

Not every office job is software engineering folks... Imagine trying to manage a warehouse remotely... or bounce ideas off each other in real time at a marketing agency... or any of the other normal jobs that thrive with in-person interaction.

Not to mention, 34% is a minority... we can't force the other 66% to work remotely just because a minority enjoy it.
> the article thinks the hierarchy has order

You probably think that was a great "checkmate" response but it's quite the opposite. No matter what the author meant, what I meant was quite clear. "Requires" does not necessarily refer to order. Requirements to do X after Y are not uncommon in real life. "If this happens, you must do that" is even codified into some laws. Requirements to do A optionally before B are not uncommon either. Think of a recipe with optional ingredients. You can add pepperoni before you bake a pizza, or not, but if you just add the pepperoni but don't bake you'll get a poor result. The pepperoni-adding requires the baking to produce a useful result, even though the order is reversed.

Just as with code, lifting words out of context often produces a poor result. Reviewers should do better.
Alternatively, it's what Windows Home Server might have become had MSFT kept at it. OTOH, the fact that Microsoft abandoned it might be an indicator of how well such a thing might sell.

Why would a prohibition on GMO lead to a benefit of all the farming community? (That was your original comment)
Avery Oswald died without winning the Nobel, in spite of proving that DNA is the hereditary material (it was thought that amino acids were at the time). Many held him back including his own supervisors. Science is sometimes shit.
This is also why dictatorship always have corruption. They cannot have transparency which means there will be corruption.

Of course democracies are just as vulnerable to all the bad stuff as they are run by humans, but transparency is at least possible. Sadly we see national security being used as reason to avoid transparency, and of course corruption follows.

My friends mostly care about house / rental prices, not bread or stocks. Rent compared to their salaries is the main thing that they look at when they get a job offer.

I'm a senior software engineer. My wife has a PhD in biochemistry from a top university. When she graduated she could not get a job anywhere. We both agreed she should choose a different path and she started a business in a totally unrelated field.

Meanwhile someone like me...I'm literally turning away interviews. I have no doubt she'd be able to be success in the IT industry amongst the many roles offered if she had chosen the path. And many of her peers have self studied, dropped their grad programs and get hired by the likes of Facebook, Microsoft.

Pragmatically, the smartest one would never get into fields with limited jobs and pay. I'd rather pick a field so I can feed my family, than to save the world.

Thank you for the link.

I see now what he meant with "disconnect between the Linux kernel and basic userland". As others have already pointed out, I also don't think that this is an integral part of what being like Unix is and I stand by my first assessment of him being wrong, trollish, or as an additional option, throwing in this argument to detract from the real criticism.

The article doesn't go into much detail why having the kernel and the userland being maintained by the same group is better. Neither on theoretical grounds nor with actual examples.

On theoretical grounds, I would agree that it should be benefitial although in my personal experience (Solaris, FreeBSD, OSX, Windows with Cygwin, Linux (normal userland and busybox for low-spec devices), it's not a given that this means necessarily a better user experience.

Solaris used to have (some years ago, haven't used it lately) and OSX still has a really bad default set and the sooner you replace them with the GNU tools, the better for your peace of mind. I'd even go so far and claim that Windows with Cygwin is a better user experience than those two.
Great info, well stated. I have two quibbles:

1) $0.25 gas ended circa 1973 if not before.

2) Your area estimate of Germany ended in 1990. Today's Germany is significantly larger than Oregon. The former West Germany was about the size of Oregon.
What this doesn't go into is how the students evaluated such a task

> When students were given a choice of various media—including hard copy, cell phone, tablet, e-reader, and laptop

How many have actually compared those devices? And what digital format were they using epub, pdf, HTML, txt ?

I have all those devices to try out the same books on. And I'm a student. I would rate them

1) E-reader - least eye strain, good bookmarking, one more device to carry - I only have one without a backlight

2) Tablet - better pdf support, good bookmarking, backlight is handy, multi function can be a boon and a distraction

3) Hard copy - I still read a lot of paper books - too bulky, I bought a sheet feed scanner just to scan my library and dump it

4) Laptop - at least it's not a phone

5) Phone - too small but I have read whole books using it when I had no option

I used to think cryptocurrency was a solution in search of a problem, but the Robinhood fiasco has made me think otherwise. I find their clearing house explanation woefully insufficient in details, and open to the possiblity of being technically the truth but misleading (for example, they gave mass margin to lots of new accounts so they technically lacked collateral, but if they stopped new signups then cleared cash non-margin accounts would have been able to freely trade).

Some might call me a conspiracy theorist, but the fact remains there’s no good way to verify any of what they’re telling us is true, other than to trust people with billion dollar reasons to mislead, or rely on an SEC which has repeatedly failed to do its job and stand up to big institutions (see Moody’s subprime ratings, or Robinhood already getting fined by SEC but for trivial amounts).

There’s certainly pump and dumps, fraud and manipulation in crypto, but some could argue a lot of stocks exist right now with terrible fundamentals but huge market caps that nobody labels a pump and dump because “serious” institutions say the valuations are “forward looking.”

All this is to say, finance is a game with massive incentives to deceive and manipulate. We see that in the traditional finance space and in the crypto space . But long term, Id argue in many ways the decentralized nature of crypto lends itself to far more transparency than our traditional systems.

Now, that doesn’t mean it makes sense to buy coffee with crypto, or that a specific coin is the solution, especially one with the type of technical challenges BTC has. But in a broader sense, I do think decentralized finance is starting to look more and more like the future, if the alternative is to continually put trust into institutions that repeatedly betray that trust.
No, but the vast majority is. Which means for the vast majority of people the IRS could easily send you your taxes already filled out.

I don’t in any way want to diminish the many good spirits here. Just to add a little fire under western readers’ butts.

It’s good to know when talking about Palestine whether you’re geographically talking about the West Bank or Gaza. They’re separated by not a lot of distance but a lot of different kinds of restrictions.

A lot of the rule over the West Bank vacillates between heavy lockdown and expansion of Israeli urban development. Most (not all) Gazans don’t get to experience even that flux.

I've seen experienced engineers who I know for a fact can code and solve problems decently completely freeze and blank out during easy live coding challenges.

I think interviewing is a stressful situation. It's hard for reasons outside an applicant's knowledge or intelligence. Interviewing seems to be a skill in itself. I know I hate it... :(
It was inevitable that cancel culture would take a few swings at Darwin since he generated a really big idea that, while it seems obvious to us now, really wasn't before:

That the accumulation of small changes and trials can result in an end state that creates a work of far higher intelligence and insight than the best that anyone could design on a blank slate. So it was a way of explaining how nature can appear so wonderfully designed just by undergoing a series of small mutations, each of which appear insignificant.

This idea than infected so many other fields, from business competition leading to better products than would have been possible in a planned economy to social conservatism that viewed cultural and moral traditions as the result of evolutionary processes and thus imbued with collective wisdom superior to that of the individual philosopher.

And as far as I know, there is basically no known counter to this except to argue that the conclusions of Darwin are morally repugnant and must, therefore, be wrong.

So obviously, people who tend to view the world through a rigid moral/immoral lense or who love to design utopias in their heads are going to take exception to Darwin. They are not going to let Darwin's steady whisper interrupt their Grand Plan to Save The World and Bring Justice to Mankind or to create the new Jerusalem in England or anywhere else.

But I think Darwin will win in the end, and those who criticize him today are going to look just as foolish as those who did in the past.

Hmm, I can see your point, but only so far - 'existing general computing' like an old x86 laptop gathering dust doesn't have GPIO, for example. Personally I avoid Arduino because even though it's sizzling fast compared to a $15 RPi Zero W I'd much rather be able to use Python or Ruby, and have handy things like networking for api calls, ntp, etc.
