If there is a quality shoulder then the law tells them to stay on the shoulder.

This is completely separate from single file vs. side by side. Just stay on the shoulder.

Even single file in the lane would break the rule.

If the shoulder is nearly the width of a full lane, then it would fit for them to be side by side entirely inside the shoulder, and that would be allowed too.

Sometimes, as a secondary effect, this rule blocks being side by side. But only when the shoulder is very specific widths. It's not the point of the rule.
Yeah I got an M1 pro recently but most of my dev workflows are in docker and docker is still painfully slow compared with Linux.

I actually miss the plasma desktop and Linux more than I anticipated and might consider putting Linux on the m1 when there are more options unless I get more find of MacOS.

But the hardware is great
I have been enjoying Natural Language Processing with Transformers [1]. It's largely focused on the Huggingface library, but Chapter 3 has a very nice walkthrough that builds up the encoder portion of an encoder-decoder Transformer from "scratch" (it still uses some primitives found in PyTorch like nn.Embedding). The decoder portion is covered in less depth and they instead refer folks to Karpathy's awesome minGPT [2], which implements a decoder-only (GPT-style) Transformer in ~300 lines of nicely-commented Python+PyTorch code.

For a higher-level conceptual view of how Transformers work, you can check out the now-classic "Illustrated Transformer" series [3] and this programmer-oriented explanation (with code in Rust) from someone at Anthropic [4].

Just because you (legally) can, doesn't mean you should. Freedom to express opinions (that someone may judge good or bad or even dangerous) is important. It's so important that people are constantly (and usually incorrectly) invoking 1st amendment rights. If the tables were turned, progressives would be screaming bloody murder and demanding an end to censorship by private conservative companies if they "showed them the door". For the moment, progressives hold the social media power positions. Someday, they may not. Then what? People should treat others the way they want to be treated if they happen to be on the "wrong" side.
i understand what you were trying to say. you are right that people underestimate the work that goes into handling everything themselves.
Out of curiosity, what would be the main differences to chargify and cheddargetter?
Anyone can do all sorts of things. I can punch anyone I see on the street in the face. Doesn't mean they're actually doing it.

Now, I have a vested interest in this as I work on one of those tracking tools, but it actually collects less data than those Apache access_logs that people have been keeping for 25 years. Plus, the JS is unminified and easily examinable if you want (as is the HTTP request), so you also have more insight in what is being collected exactly.

"It's using JavaScript" and "it can do [..]" are massive red herrings; browsers are actually fairly sandboxed and there are millions upon millions of lines of code on your computer that can do much more than JavaScript inside a webpage.
> At EDS, the culture wasn’t like this. People moved in and out of management roles. There was no stigma associated with moving from roles with greater scope, like strategic planner, to roles with more narrow scope, like PM or project-level developer.

This sounds amazing. I'm curious...how does salary change? Or does it change? How is all of this handled...
Another data point, one of my friend plays guitar, was part of a few bands. He was pushed by his parents to learn an instrument. He has complained multiple times about what a waste guitar playing been. He has spent his twenties chasing dream of making it as musician.

Now he has finally given up on his rock star dreams and working in his career but he is far behind his peers. His family struggles financially right now. He wishes that he was never into music and was focused on more productive stuff. He thinks his parents wanted him to play an instrument because they wanted him to impress their friends.

So the lesson is children will find any excuse to complain about their parents.
I regularly drive at speeds in excess of 100mph when highways are empty and waze shows no police. What would be the fate of a person caught at those speeds in Virginia?
Yep, I figured it was the only way to get it to keep working. Interesting that it seems to work for you already. It isn’t yet going through CloudFlare for me when I try to visit it. Maybe DNS cache?
Old Sunblade desktops have a jumper switch where you can use either ECC or non-ECC ram.
Oh thanks. Where can you trade those? Couldn’t find them on questrade.
Right, but ultimately the same is true for manufacturing GPUs and ASICs. It's a problem you have to deal with for both PoW and this new proposed approach.
Having played with postmarketOS (pmOS) on and off for a while on various devices, as well as countless other Linux handheld efforts, I was pleasantly surprised with how well pmOS + Phosh (the Purism Librem 5 userland) worked on my new PinePhone. I haven't yet tested the cellular functionality.

https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/PINE64_PinePhone_(pine64-...

(My older, pre-Phosh notes: https://www.neilvandyke.org/postmarketos/ )

If I end up moving to pmOS+Phosh for a daily driver phone, I'll have to see what the Librem 5 pricing and availability is at that time. I'd like to support Purism, and their hardware might turn out to be more trustworthy, but it's pricier, so it'd have to be a daily driver that I need.

One backup/stopgap option (besides my iPhone and collection of a few developer devices) is Replicant (FSF-blessed Android fork), and I have a couple of i9300 phones for that. Practically, it's Android that's been gravely crippled, for better or worse. pmOS+Phosh seems a more desirable ultimate destination, than Replicant trying to maintain a fork of someone else's massive codebase that's developed with philosophical differences and vastly more resources. But Replicant does have more mobile polish right now that's expensive to recreate, plus some nice open source Android apps like K-9 Mail.

Stuxnet is a well understood attack from 10 years ago and its being compared with a poorly understood attack from 1 year ago.

>The solar winds hack is an otherwise unremarkable trojan that spread exclusively due to the bad security measures of solarwinds.

We don't have sufficient information to say what happened after the trojan landed is unsophisticated. All we have is the idea that microsoft benefits from making their attacker seem more competent than they are, which is true.
yeah, I have the reMarkable 2 myself. It's an amazing device. The only downside is really the cost. It's premium quality like an Apple device (the unboxing is a trip) and it's hackable on day one.
> This is not a problem on modern ThinkPads.

Funny, because I see people complaining about it still in 2020 on brand new Thinkpads. See for instance https://www.reddit.com/r/thinkpad/comments/ken18b/does_your_... and the comments saying "They all drift, it's inherent by the sensor design", "It drifts on all my ThinkPads too", "Mine sometimes drifts".

So unless your definition of modern is "ones that haven't been released yet", I think you might be wrong.
Link to the gallup article which I find more interesting and stat heavy: https://news.gallup.com/poll/329708/lgbt-identification-rise...

But this article does get the headline for the piece I found most interesting. 16% of Gen Z identifying as LGBTQ is super bizarre to me. Mostly bisexual is even more foreign sounding. As a millenial it doesn't resonate with my experience. I would say I know 2x more gay/lesbian identifying people than bisexual identifying people. This suggests it should be more like 5x the otherway around.
just about 15m, but it needs to go through a wall. It’s not even a big apartment, and the walls are not that thick, but as it’s in 1 direction, I’ll try to get a directional antenna as the other commenter advised. Also probably any long-range device will be better than the cheap Wifi 6 Archer that I bought (although it was a great improvement for short range ping time compared to the Wifi 5 router that I had before)
I appreciate that having to whiteboard a recursive permutation generator is a rite-of-passage for most of us, it gets old, quick. One's ability to do well in a whiteboard interview is not the best indicator of one's ability to deliver value to the organisation. If I were a hiring-manager I'd prefer to go-over the candidate's portfolio of work rather than grill them over the computational complexity of a logic puzzle.

If some new people from an acquired company were to join and I heard they skipped the third-year CS undergrad oral finals simulation step I'd be glad that there's some progress being made - I wouldn't feel resentful at all.

"I had it bad when I was younger, therefore you should too" is amongst the worst our instinctive behavioral tropes.
There's an implication here that "spotify for papers" - aka good distribution for a fair price - could be the end state.
There's Fairphone, already two generations of modular phone design. Unfortunately, they're only officially supported in Europe. But if you're in Europe, and want a modular phone, they're where its at.
It looks like the National Security Space Launch (NSSL) Phase 2 Launch Services Procurement (LSP) contract that Blue Origin refer to was awarded in August 2020 (six months ago).

Not to dismiss your comment - my partner is an architect and also swears by the mouse to navigate in 3D - but I got an external trackpad when getting an external keyboard (to replace my poorly performing MacBook keyboard) and I have preferred the trackpad to a mouse for sometime. This is from someone who spends a lot of time in design software. I don’t think this is uncommon, either, although I’m not sure.
Yeah, it's hard to detect when a large number of people within this community actually believe what you're being sarcastic about.
Hm, that stuff about Twitter having an algo that is totally effective and not using it sounds...a lot like a conspiracy theory to me...but that couldn't be...

Suggesting that companies - remember Zuckerberg is ethnically Jewish, Pichai is a migrant, Brin is a migrant, Page is ethnically Jewish - want to do nothing is bizarre (and, again, somewhat conspiratorial). These companies pay almost no regard to shareholder value (again, this is a conspiratorial point). The issue is that it is hard to know how to generalise.

To be honest, I don't think anyone has a good grip on this topic. It is certainly true that political parties have always been allowed to make inflammatory adverts (and sorry, but it is both sides here). And if you believe anti-semetic propaganda, is a Facebook post really the thing that puts you over the edge? Or is it just the thing that we can now observe.

A similar point is that celebrities today often complain about the abuse they get on social media...but these people have always been there, and some people won't like you regardless of what you do. That is part of having a public profile. I have heard minor celebrities recommending that social media gets shuts down because someone tweeted at them that they found their voice annoying...everyone hears this kind of stuff in life. It is normal.

I don't know what the solution is but we are still clearly quite a long way from the point where a solution emerges.
I think Apple does a fantastic job on nearly all fronts. There are many aspects to the iPhone which the Android should get. I am a hardcore Mac user. I just expect that we are at a tipping point for the market, and that the new iPhone didn't get enough done today to change that momentum.
I don't understand why people keep citing K&R as a great book. It's a fairly mediocre introduction to C programming. Harbison and Steele is much more useful IMO.
You cannot drive across the border at Boquillos. The Rio Grande is in the way and there is no bridge. Big Bend is in the middle of four hundred miles without a road across the border between Del Rio and Presidio.
> As you said, we in Europe are kind of forced to have WA installed, but at least you don't have to use it as your primary client if you don't want to.

Haven't used WhatsApp for months and then only for a few days to talk to someone from US.

My friends were heavy WhatsApp users but we changed one group after another to Telegram after WhatsApp were brought.

Telegram is far from perfect though so I hope to move to Matrix within a few months.
I absolutely adore this program. It works exactly like I expect, every time. Sometimes I'll just think about what a nice tool it is, even when I'm not using it.
No please don't use a gif. That's a terrible way to present information and leads to accessibility issues in documentation where it has no business. Instead, just show a shell prompt and the command needed to launch the program.
This does not surprise me much. There have been more than two or three occasions in the past two years where Facebook, Whatsapp and Instagram were having connection issues simultaneously, which for me is an indication of how the services are getting more integrated.
Comment scores should be AN OPTION.
No idea how it got to the top of the list.

As I said elsewhere, I've talked a lot about Android and iPhone lately already, so I didn't think I needed to recap that here. Sorry if it seemed shallow.

Quick summary echoed elsewhere: What I saw today was iPhone achieving parity with some of Android's features. What I also see is Android having more handsets, more manufacturers and carriers, and eventually more users.
Nice! I didn't care enough to bother with anyone else's visualization tools.. This one lowered the barrier of entry enough for me to actually use it.
I agree that monetary loss is a big motivator, however I am still curious (US citizen) as to the political implications of doing nothing as a nation when companies are quite obviously being attack by foreign governments. Normally these kind of attacks are much less obviously perpetrated by nation-states.
Because, simply, the ability for the Technorati to push and pull code from a website does not an act-of-war make, no matter how you and I may view it.

It seems almost certain, however, that in the coming week, this story will be told in the "mainstream news" (I don't really know what that is anymore tho, TBH)

I am sure, when things shake out, the attacks will be used in some political-posturing kind of way and by some politician who will judiciously use it to drum up support among an interested group.
I'm sure a lot of companies have backup plans in place, for instance, Bitbucket repo clones or an internal copy
I'm sure it will be. Give them a minute. After all, I bet there are plenty of media folks reading this thread. And plenty of media orgs use GitHub themselves.
Another vote for mbed, their Cookbook can get the tedious stuff out of the way for most projects: https://developer.mbed.org/cookbook/Homepage
The clicks did convert as once we changed the button to "see it" that email outperformed the previous one.
The "speed of thought" is essentially the limiting factor in most keyboard input presently.

A normal mouse move requires a lot more bits input to get the effect of several keystrokes and so a thought-controlled mouse would require "more thought" than keystroking requires.

But if you could get broad spectrum output - text, sound, pictures and video, a direct brain interface would be fabulous...

But remember, direct-brain output sounds great but the "high bandwidth outputs" we humans have now (our hands and mouths mostly), were "designed"/evolved as outputs and anything else will be "internal data" - not necessarily useful and quite possibly not what we'd chose to output. This could be overcome but I suspect this means direct brain output will not come a smoothly as one might expect (even with the immense progress of computers

As far as lawsuits go, if you started one now, it would change a lot of behavior even before it finished. And liability for past behavior still exists whatever the present situation is.
Technicalities are part have having a rule of law. The legislature (or at the formation of a governmental system) is where the issues get debated and the law determined.
How is it not a "natural" way of life to imbibe natural compounds from plants and fungi that have been imbibed for tens of thousands of years? THC, CBD, and psilocybin, as well as many other compounds like coffee, tea, chocolate, caffeine, etc. have been part of human diets for countless generations. There are even biological theories that state that these plants and humans co-evolved, with humans spreading around the plants intentionally and unintentionally, and selecting those plants with "positive" effects and thus co-evolution occurred.
As far as I understand it, higher levels of vitamin D3 greatly increases absorption of calcium from the gut, and the K2 is necessary to ensure that the calcium gets deposited in the right places.

Sorry, I don't have an existing set of references for this, but here are a couple things I found:

From http://www.drjessicaseaton.com/Chiropractic_in_West_Los_Ange...

"Increased levels of vitamin D require increased levels of vitamin K, especially of vitamin K2 (menaquinone). Without enough vitamin K2 there is an increased risk of hardening of the arteries and other soft tissues."

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitamin_K

"...high intakes of vitamin D but low intakes of vitamin K were suggested to pose an increased risk of hip fracture."
More like for NYC. NY is reporting more than half the cases in the US.
Does anyone know if there are any published stats / estimations about the prevalence of amphetamine prescriptions in the United States.

I have this gut feeling it's pretty high, at least in the tech industry. I don't believe this is problematic but it feels like a taboo topic. If use is common we should be better about talking openly about it.
I meditate quite a lot. It doesn't alter the number of things that stop me concentrating at work - mainly meetings that are nicely spaced out so that you never get more then an hour an a half in one go.
> Alarm for what?

That privacy policy is a clear indication that Zoom is only concerned about protecting themselves at all costs. They may not be acting maliciously, but they clearly aren't dedicated to acting ethically either.

I'm not saying it's an emergency, but a privacy policy like that should at least set off some warning flags for a privacy-concious user.

> They make their money from subscriptions. Your personal data is rather useless to them...

I don't care if the data os valuable to them as long as it's valuable to someone.

> ...and now a liability under data regulations.

The liability is worth it if the price is right.
The gamers are generally faster because the games are not perfect simulations of reality.
Oddly enough I kinda bet on the wrong side of that, long ago. I graduated from high school in 1982. I had learned to program, and my mom was teaching intro CS at a nearby community college. She actually thought that math was too easy to spend 4 years in college learning it, and her students were getting jobs after a year of training in her course. So I majored in math, and added physics because the added course requirements for double major were minimal. Meanwhile, I continued to learn programming and electronics on my own.

A second issue (note the time period) was that I saw what the CS students were learning, and I also had a summer internship in a computer facility, and I formed the impression that over the long haul, a programming job would be rather dull. The people who were doing things with computers that seemed "cool" to me, were in the math and physics departments. That included the use of microcomputers rather than mainframes.

I've certainly done a lot of programming throughout my career, but have not been employed as a programmer per se. Most physicists program, because it's our most efficient and flexible problem solving tool.

I could probably claim to be a "data scientist" right now, if push came to shove, but am in fact working through some training on that and machine learning, to fill in gaps and make me conversant in the terminology. It could propel my next career move, or at least serve as a bit of career insurance.
GTK also supports customization via local style sheets.

In Qt it's absolutely possible for applications to force client-side decorations and force a certain stylesheet. Maybe it's not common in the apps you use, but again, it's up to the app developer if they want to make use of those things or not.
If that's the case, the camera light must have blinded them permanently.
Yeah I just cut the foil off with scissors or use a knife and then tap the top onto a diff cup.
Well coming from an industry c programmer (embedded, networking, high throughput stuff, where c is the only choice), i am really thinking this could be of a great use. Specially for large products developed and maintained for many years and have big teams, this could be priceless if actually ported / extended. I would probably look at this and try to contribute when i can. Thank you so much, great work
The portable app Caustic has a great FM Synth in it. There's a free version for Windows and OS X.
Are you under the impression that Excel is some kind of abbreviation for something? Why else would you write it in all capitals?
Really nice website you got here...be a shame if anything happened to it...
That's because DELETE is only idempotent, not commutative. Commutativity is solved by conflict-free replicated data types, but they can be extremely hard to implement without redefining correctness.
That's how it's always been. Litestep/bbZero/etc have always just replaced explorer.exe, but ultimately the Windows system is much more coupled than the Linux one. So you're still going to be using functionality beyond the "window manager".
If you already know how to code really well, you can easily make a test that tests the things you want to do, and then write code that actually does those things.

If you can’t write code well in the first place, you’ll write terrible tests, and then even more terrible code to make them somehow succeed.

I’d argue TDD has value in the first case, but most teams are more like the second variant.
So are you saying that it couldn't be read like that?
I mean, I don't doubt that there are Swiss people which can make a bomb ass coffee.

Citing n'espresso as a reference for this may be a bit counterproductive, though :)
I agree with that and can also relate to this point (as I experience exactly this in my current project) my colleague already complained about being interrupted many times already. The problem is that the non coding colleagues want to ask just a 'quick question'.

Thanks for the quick reply.
Every few months I get scans of X-rays from random clients' teeth from some dentist in South America. I've tried so many times to respond and/or unsubscribe but never hear anything back.
That may very well be true, but it seems to benefit me more than it benefits it.
Fair enough, but for that price I'd expect more than a language I like. It's got some interesting features, but like I said many other game engines have similar features with no cost, what's the stand-out reason to make me spend $50 once on it or $98 a year. Is this just being marketed to language enthusiasts?
