Yeah I've been doing something close to twice 70p or so for some time... I'm curious what are other people's food budgets?

In the morning I have some oatmeal with milk. The oatmeal's about 20p for a pack and I use about 1/5th of the pack. Milk's 50c per liter and I think I use about an 8th or so. I also have a Banana, about 20p. So breakfast is about 30p.

Lunch is pretty light, I'll go with a pair of sandwiches with peanut butter, and the 2nd piece of fruit, that'll cost me probably about 40p or so. Water's the drink of choice.

70p so far. (this is all Euros btw).

Then in the evening it'll be two dishes for me, the main dish (carbs, vegs, proteine, very roughly seen) and a small salad.

For the main dish: carbs which are always the cheapest. 10 grams of rice costs less than a penny, so an average portion is about 10p. Other carbs like pasta or potatoes are pretty similar in cost. Then there's vegetables, can be anything really. Another 100 gram portion of say Broccoli is about 15p, same for alternatives like zucchini or endive. And finally there's protein, like fish or chicken. I tend to go 2 times chicken, 1 times beef, 2 times fish, 2 times vegetarian, in a 7 day week. Aiming more of the latter. This'll set me back about 60c for meats, a little less for fish unless it's salmon. Getting protein from a veg meal is much much cheaper in the form of various beans. My main dinner averages about 65p.

In addition there's the salad. Bit of cucumber, tomato, lettuce, carrot. It's about 50p or so all in all. Then add about 20p for the whole dinner in herbs, onion, garlic, olive oil, vinegar etc. And it's about 1.35 for dinner, with 30p breakfast and 40p lunch.

So yeah, 2.05 for food in a day. About 1.50 pounds in the UK. Twice what the guy spent, but I consider it a pretty balanced meal, no white loaves or lemonade or tinned anything really. Literally have had a salad for every day of my life for decades now. Never overweight (even during a sedentary lifestyle, working from a home office as a freelancer and not working out at all), yet I eat 3 pretty solid meals, two portions of fruit and two portions of vegetables, enough carbs, not much sugar, decent fats in oils and fish, protein etc.

I'd like to add nuts throughout the day, and eat more vegetables rather than bread for the lunch, and go from 3 days meat to 2 days meat at least, but otherwise I'm pretty happy with it.

Anyway I grew up on this, could easily spend more and I do spend a lot on other stuff, but I keep my main food on a budget for some reason. It really puts everything into perspective, like a $2 bag of chips I can easily power through during a movie, that's the entire day's food budget equivalent.
Nope. Vertica provided the right performance and the right (SQL) interface for analysts.
The key to rhetoric isn't that you have to be correct, its that you have to prove that the other person is wrong(or incompetent). Thus, we have the ad hominem attacks that are so prevalent
I didn't downvote him but it sounds like "he's driving angry". He does work for that "evil" company in Redmond. :-). Maybe he can help make F# a great cross-platform language and increase the goodwill? Microsoft did an incredible job with F# but it really only runs well on Windows.
We live in a capitalistic system today, these are some of its properties. I said nothing about trust in other systems.
As far as I recall that was not a hardware problem. ISA PnP cards describe what they can do and then the driver picks one of the possibilities and programs the card.

It got fun when real sound blasters had broken config, so a generic driver (for a unix system) would fail.

In my experience (playing with unix) IRQ conflicts was much more a dos/windows problem than hardware. Though the hardware was nasty too.
Without drive encryption, you cannot ensure that you have a secure system.
First I have to keep a burner number with a real sim card for things that require signup, now I have to keep a burner phone with no contacts?
Jai is a programming language and not a game engine.
Is it possible to create a network of contacts that triggers worst-case memory and cpu scenarios when the network is reconstructed from contacts?

Or, put another way, can a collection of people doing this construct a set of synthetic contacts spread out in various ways across their devices, such that anyone doing contact analysis sees their analyses slow down, drain resources, or crash altogether due to network structure?
I wonder when the USA will follow suit?

The only reason they’re selling MacBooks with Intel is bc they haven’t updated the whole line yet. They did the entry level models for MacBook, Air, and mini. They’ll do the rest when they roll out the M1X (higher end first party chip) later this year to the rest of the line.

Look up the performance stats, for loads running flat out or using GPU, M1 is insanely faster. People are replacing their two year old $5K top of the line MacBooks with an entry level M1 and seeing massive real world performance gains. That’s the point of this article - why would anyone pay $2-3K for a used 15” MacBook Pro that retailed for $5K in 2018 when they can buy an M1 that blows it out of the water brand new for half the price?

There are still limiting factors (if you need ports, more RAM, etc) since these are entry level models, but the rumors about the next gen MBPs coming in H2 of this year sound like they’ll tackle those easily.

Third option: they don't realise when they make a mistake, either because they are not smart enough or too full of themselves.

> even when I filed bug reports that turns out to be issues in my own code.

Every time I've used or built a property based testing system I've had problems when starting because there's something broken in it. This has then turned out to be an actual bug in the system being tested.

Building a quickcheck style tester in AS3 drove me nuts at one point before finding out that the conversions between strings and floating point numbers has a bunch of weird issues. There are some obvious ones, but then also things like certain numbers convert differently if you add a trailing zero (so 0.7362856270 is turned into a different number to 0.736285627 and 0.73628562700). So my little "decode(encode(x)) == x" test example broke!

My favourite thing that it found was in a menuing library we were building (and why I built the tester). I set it up to test a library by making library calls that a developer might make and test various properties of the overall menu (all elements reachable, for some if you move left then right you're back on the same item, etc). One property was that if there was at least one item in the list and the list had focus, then one item in that list had focus. This was found to be broken by starting with only one item, removing it and adding a new one (reduced test cases are incredibly useful).

That's a fairly boring bug, but the interesting thing (to me) was that when I fixed it my unit tests broke. I had an explicit test to ensure that this behaviour was happening, and I'd also written it down in my spec for what should happen.

The testing tool forced me to consider higher level things of what should be true and drove out an inconsistency in my library. It's a 'bug' that would have bitten me many times, but rarely enough that it would probably have regularly ended up going live.
Nobody in Amsterdam wears a helmet while biking. The one exception might be sports cyclist who ride at high speeds. They usually won't show up in the inner city tough.

Biking in Amsterdam is pretty safe. But this is mostly because of the infrastructure, and more importantly because dutch drivers are used to cyclers on the roads. Most bike accidents in Amsterdam are caused by foreign drivers that are not used to looking out for bikes. I imagine this the number one reason biking is less safe in American cities.
It has more to do with their sheer size IMO, not having the "cream". I've worked for ATT, Sprint, and a number of companies that are pretty big but not super big and somehow they function despite the idiocy that goes on. It's a form of "too big to fail" IMHO. There are just too many people to average out the slack and the ship has too much momentum. It's going to keep succeeding baring some huge market shift and/or gross negligence on managements part. I mean, seriously; there are a LOT of companies out there making TONS of money with no where near FB's or Google's reputation and desirability.
Yeah but it's eventually going to run out, is the point. Helium doesn't like to stay on Earth.
Still waiting for clockless chips here...
I did an analysis of different sentence segmentation tools when I was working on my own rule-based segmenter. The results can be found in this README (https://github.com/diasks2/pragmatic_segmenter).

I think this blog post almost hits on the key in the middle - in my opinion it is important to test (all of) the edge cases. The problem with most corpora typically used to test segmenters is that 80-90% of the sentences are the same (i.e. a regular sentence ending in a period). Thus if a segmenter just simply split the sentence at every period it would still show a 80-90% accuracy rate. This is why I am trying to develop a standardized set of edge cases: https://github.com/diasks2/pragmatic_segmenter#the-golden-ru...
Regardless of your political views, any piece of legislature would offend somebody's sensibilities. That's why the legislature exists in the first place
Poaching is illegal. But owning elephant tusks isn't . In fact it is considered a luxury.
We are using Orleans in the backend of a mobile app and website. We are still building, but I like it so far... It makes it very easy to synchronize data to multiple viewers and send updates to the client (using sockets and push notifications) as events happen. Like Firebase or Meteor, but implemented differently.
Your case is fair, and your advice is solid, but no one is sure it's appropriate. At IBM there is a distinct chain of command and people who have to interact with each other and a corporate body every day. A technical mailing list can certainly suffer from domineering people monopolizing the conversation as well, but most evidence we have of this- Systemd debates in Debian, Gentoo- show a much more overt structural deficiency going on in a far more pervasive fashion than what is found on LKML.

Look at the outcome in problem cases- whereas in a contained social environment- a business- the containment ends in creative control ending up in the lands of the domineering group, in mailing lists we tend to rampant infighting and shifting lines of battle amongst larger parties. The 1:1 1:few defined hierarchies and political power-games of a business have few clear places we can draw parity to on a highly-trafficed mailing list: dissent resisting the domineering force is highly visible and contested, and conflict spreads as people weigh in and the conversation threads-out and threads are linked into one another.
One thing that I think nobody thinks about: there are two sides to this thing, other than Google. One is the artists, who have already spoken. The other one is the users, who probably want to be promised "all the music from X participating artists", rather than "some of the music from 10X participating artists"... I'm not 100% sure that Google standing by the second side is right, but surely it needs some consideration.
Its only silly if you look at it from one perspective. Looking at it from the customer's point of view, its quite reasonable. Looking at it from the business point of view, its justifiable experience degradation for cost of doing business.

I don't think as a user its unreasonable for me to expect software vendors to do the right thing for me. Whether they do it or not is their choice, I'm still rightfully allowed to complain about it.
I'm surprised no one mentioned Mutt + Maildir? I'm by no means a power-user but I really love it and find it very responsive for downloaded emails.

I mean if I sell you a brick, it's not gonna connect to wifi. I'm not advertising it as connecting to wifi, so if you buy it than it's really your fault for thinking it will. Similarly, Apple doesn't prevent you from doing anything you want with an I-Phone. You can (if you so choose) saw it in half, open it up and try to figure it out, and interact with it in any way you please. If those interactions don't yield results you want, you really can't blame Apple since they pretty much told you what you were getting.

Now there are some real scummy practices that Apple uses, and those should be regulated. Software that detects tampering and shuts down the device? Sure, get rid of it. Some vital service they can (and do) shut down at any time, bricking the device? Regulate it to nothing. But ultimately 'do what you want with your property' is completely different from 'sell whatever I personally want in a device regardless of how others feel'. Apple sells a walled garden by design, and buying one of their devices pretty much entails realizing that.
What are the units of dissatisfaction used throughout the page? How do they map to the y-axis of the dissatisfaction graph? What sense of scale do I need to have to understand the units? Is a 945 bad? How bad? Is hate linear? Since AAPL scores roughly half as much as AT&T does that mean that the average Twitterer hates AAPL half as much? What happens if someone scores a perfect 1000? Can they be hated no further?

What time zone is the next update measured in? What makes your classifier 'Bayesian' besides just using something called a 'Naive Bayes Classifier'? What is the 90% accuracy determined from? Why should I care? Is a 24-hour improvement in customer satisfaction a significant thing? How quickly does hate fluctuate? What is your uncertainty in each of these measurements? Is there an overall brand hate level that I can compare these things to? How are they affected by overall sentiment toward companies?

It's an interesting complementary site to your primary interest in Groubal. I'm just a skeptic to methods in sentiment analysis in general. To analyze data properly is very hard. Applying tools to observe what happens is still interesting though.

But I'm not sure I learned a whole lot to see graphs proclaiming that Twitterers dislike AT&T, Time Warner, Banks, Internet Providers, and Zynga. Tylenol and Enterprise were interesting to find though. I have no idea what it means for Tylenol to be 100 units less hated though.

So perhaps what you should tune your ML stuff to seek out is not just some difficult to quantify measure of dissatisfaction, but instead look for things like Tylenol and Enterprise where people might not expect themselves to have such trouble with the brand. In such a case, it becomes automatic, insightful rabble-rousing instead of methodologically sparse hate-ranking.
You can't "tack on court costs" so easily. In most civil cases in the USA, each party is responsible for his own attorney's fees and costs. As I sadly know from personal experience trying to recover money from an insurance company.

In most cases, any amount under $10,000 is not going to be worth going to court over. You will pay lawyers that much just to get the case to trial.
Yes, that's really great too... I was just looking for an example that many people could relate to. :)

Back in the deep mists of time you used to be able to call a special operator who would look up the number in a phone book for you. They called it "information".
Sculpting is probably the main historical subtractive process most people know of. And, its notoriously hard.

> I believe another contributor managed to get an app running using Postgres, but I don't know how they did it. I think there's some aspect of the Sandstorm sandbox that throws Postgres for a loop, and you have to kinda hack around it.

That would be me. I've done it on a private app and helped bring it to another app, so it's repeatable. I'll try to explain it on the sandstorm-dev group in the next week or so.

> I know I might sound like a conspiracy theorist, but there is either some cartel deal between huge companies (intel, amd, nvidia, qualcomm,...), to keep prices artificially high and blame parts shortage, or they're all incompetent.

So here's what actually happened. Car companies cancelled their orders because there was this thing called COVID. Those slots on fabs got sold to other people in the entertainment industry because at the time it was believed people would just stay at home and the entertainment sector would need the extra fabs.

In a sudden twist of what could be called "irony", it turns out people are scared of getting on public transit during and after covid so everyone who relied on that or uber/lyft started buying cars so demand for cars went up. Car companies tried buying their slots back kicking off a giant demand hike which basically had people buying fab slots for far more than they are worth... the issue is that those ICs aren't like a graphics card.

If you don't have 5nm chips, well that's fine, you can't produce a graphics card per IC, for a car, there could be dozens of different chips. If your 30nm chips are out of stock, it doesn't matter how many 105nm chips you have in stock, you can't sell half of a car.

How do foreigners doing business in China deal with this? Presumably there are a lot of large companies doing very important work and very important deals in China and being able to connect to the company network while they are in China over VPN is necessary?

I definitely would not consider them to be in the class of drugs as a traditional placebo, in the sense that they drastically alter your sense of consciousness and reality, but you are getting at important component which is that these drugs should be coupled with pre-trip planning therapy and post-trip integration therapy in clinical settings.

Great book btw. I highly recommend it anyone who is curious about the subject.
A lot of people are commenting about various OSX changes that they perceive as regressions over the years ... But no one has commented on my pet peeve so I'm going to share it in hopes that someone else out there will commiserate with me. They changed the default system-wide keybinding for option-b, option-f, option-d and friends -- now instead of invoking useful text manipulation operations (which are hard-wired into my psyche after years of emacs use), these key-codes now print useless unicode characters... First thing I do on a clean-install of osx is change the keyboard binding -- but its incredibly annoying that these bindings don't work when I sit down at someone else's mac ...

Right, but that's a large, core Symfony component, not a small library. It essentially dictates how you handle fundamental tasks (such as routing) and immediately starts you off doing things the "Symfony way".
Common Core doesn't phrase the questions in weird ways. The standards are clear and don't tell you how to teach. Much of the training around it and essentially all of the curriculum (repackaged old stuff, new section headings on the same crap) is terrible. But that's the corporatization of education and the poor support for professional development of US teachers at work, which we allow to happen regardless of curriculum content.
