It seems to Feynman's argument works via the opposite of ruling out coincidences of that sort. It shows "If nothing surprising happens, then we expect very nearly zero counterexamples to Fermat's Last Theorem"... But the "surprising" in "If nothing surprising happens" encompasses both surprising structure (things which are true for some deep, clean reason) AND surprising numeric coincidences (things which are true for no good reason, but just happen, surprisingly, to line up in a nice, unexpected way).
Nobody cares about (241, 0, 0) or (255, 0, 0). What they care about is whether the color of the grass, sky, flower, dress, car paint job, sports team jersey, skin tone, ... looks correct.

I feel a bit like a broken record here. There are ways of mapping one color space down to a smaller one without hard clipping to the gamut boundary. But these can be computationally expensive and difficult to design properly.

However, assuming that a better gamut mapping method is unavailable, hard clipping out of gamut colors in practice works much better than just pretending two color spaces are the same. When you do the latter, images end up looking terrible.

The effect is immediately obvious to anyone with standard color vision, and as such is no more “subjective” than anything when we’re dealing with perception. In some sense all perception is subjective if you want to get philosophical. But in a practical sense, not really.

If you have a copy of Photoshop, you can try this for yourself. Collect a number of photographs or other images encoded in a large color space like P3. Then convert these to sRGB in two ways, (a) using the “assign profile” menu option and (b) using the “convert to profile” menu option.

Your proposal is to do the former. In practice, the results are entirely unacceptable. They look bad. That is, if you collect a group of humans with typical color vision and present both options, they will pick option (b) for almost all images, and for most images the right choice will be very obvious to everyone.

I didn't malign others, either, as I didn't call anyone a moron... Yes, it's true I implied that you might think that others who puzzled over P vs. NP were morons. I was, after all, laboring under the belief that you thought P vs. NP was trivial. Is that a malignment?

Anyway. Nevermind that. Feynman joked that P was trivially not equal to NP? Where can I find that joke given by Feynman?
in spain is the same, the socialist fallacy.

your feeding corrupt governments in a mandatory way with out a way to get out of the system (i don't want a government pension or the so called "free" social/medical care)

in spain your pretty much putting your money in fund they may not be there by the time you retire.

so making 3k a month is peanuts there is no way you can save for retirement.

most specialist will tell you that you will need to save anything from 500k to 1M for retirement. if you have kids, 3k its probably a stretch specially if you want to give them a good education.
From the top of http://www.sqlalchemy.org/ :

"The Python SQL Toolkit and Object Relational Mapper

SQLAlchemy is the Python SQL toolkit and Object Relational Mapper that gives application developers the full power and flexibility of SQL."

So I would say it is in fact an ORM even if it is also a toolkit.

If you do something like:

echo "hello world" >> dummyfile
cat dummyfile | sed 's/hello/goodbye/' > dummyfile

dummyfile will be blank afterwards

if you do:

cat dummyfile | sed 's/hello/goodbye/' | sponge dummyfile

It'll work as you'd expect (or at least as I'd expect). Otherwise `> dummyfile` will truncate dummyfile before it's read and inputed into sed.

The reason development methodologies exist even in the face of common sense is the same reason management metrics have been around for ages: they aren't for the people doing the work, they're for the managers to quantify the work their team does for the sake of their managers.

Not every manager can understand every facet of the operation two levels down. Methodologies not only give them an understandable metric of what is going on, they also have something to point to when upper-upper management is considering a lower manager for a promotion or trying to figure out why things are taking too long or not working as expected.

Development methodologies have a place, that's for sure, but structure for structure's sake - in my experience - tends to exist primarily for the benefit of the managers, rather than the engineers.
sponge only writes the file once all input has been read, and - if the file already exists - tries to do the operation atomically by writing to a temporary file and renaming it over the old file.

As for whether "the physical model of P != NP is definitionally trivial", I suppose it depends on what "the physical model" is, but I don't see any physical reason why it should trivially be impossible to decide the Boolean satisfiability problem in polynomial time... Why shouldn't there be some algorithm to do so?

Good to see I2P get some attention here.

For those who don't know about I2P:

* Anonymity network similar to TOR in some ways, but rather than focusing on getting someone out to the internet anonymously, I2P is a low-latency mix network with no out proxies. See: https://ritter.vg/blog-mix_and_onion_networks.html

* Virtually every I2P router relays traffic, unlike TOR the network is very "flat". Directory servers are replaced with a DHT called the netDB.

Recently I've been working on a Go implementation of the I2P router: https://github.com/hkparker/go-i2p. It isn't on the network yet, would be really interested in working with anyone who wants to contribute.
Also true! I just wondered if that was closer to the spirit of the Spanish term. It would be funny if it wasn't, and they really were trying to evoke people being cut up by butchers.
Ah, yes. I like it. I've definitely made the exact mistake you point out. Thanks!
Narrowness of the corridor is a huge factor. You can't pass people as they are lifting their bags or moving slowly. But a wheelchair could go down aisles this wide.

And this innovation is really independent of what loading scheme you use. Whoever wants to sit on the middle or aisle seat can wait on the aisle seat before it is moved into its final position before sitting in the seat of their choice.

lckdo looks a bit similar to flock(1), though knowing Joey from reputation, I'm pretty sure he had good reasons for including lckdo.
Before carbon can be farted out of a cow, it has to get in to the cow from somewhere else.

In particular, it comes from the plant matter they digest. Which would otherwise be holding onto those carbon atoms, by and large. (Or releasing them to other organisms via natural decomposition processes). You know, like trees do.

Instead being shot into the atmosphere through the cows' hind quarters.
So a car in the street is not private?
From the lckdo manual:
"Now that util-linux contains a similar command named flock, lckdo is deprecated, and will be removed from some future version of moreutils."

Apparently they did make a polite request to the manager directly and was turned down. I missed that line somehow when I first read the article.. At that point they should have abandoned this cause. Instead they decided to hold everyone to ransom and paid a heavy price. I guess everyone acted somewhat inappropriately.
It's a thousand strangers. My life doesn't get a scintilla better if I can accurately characterize the people who write misogynistic comments on HN as 68% troll or 49% troll.

But the task of reliably and civilly challenging prejudice here gets a lot easier the higher that percentage gets, so for my own benefit, I prefer to dial it up as high as it can go, and I'm happier for it.

You can relax on challenging racism on HN sometimes. It gets tiresome! You can even walk away entirely. But please don't trash the site on the way out --- that makes the job harder for everyone else taking the time to call out toxic bullshit here.

You can't relax on being calm and civil, even in response to comments that don't deserve it. Think about it this way, because this is probably true: every time we fuck up and write a nasty, shrill response to a racist comment, we generate a light-grey negative-rated rebuttal to racism. If we're particularly bad about responding, we'll park that comment next to a racist comment that keeps a neutral score just out of sympathy.

Please don't do that.
Kubernetes can be installed from AMIs, which are region-specific.

In addition, different regions support different AWS features/products and being a newer region usually means the least amount of support. So any setup tooling or infrastructure integration needs to account for those differences and use alternatives if certain services aren't available.
You know, there is a bit of politics, but I've come to the conclusion that it's better to just hose down the managers with "techy-stuff" rather than try to sell them power points with bullshit. After all, if they are making the decision, they should actually either get it, or trust you to get it for them.

The one thing that does not fly is developers that does not know the business case, or worse, those that don't care and acts like the company's purpose is to give them new toys (frameworks) to play with. But grokking a business case is marginally harder than resolving a merge-conflict so most people are actually presentable in a steering committee meeting.

Anyway; 200.000 € is probably not a developer, but possibly someone with a development background.

Unfortunately only a few people can sell things to the (non-tech) management - that is typically harder for us square-headed developers, as you have to be able to skimp some details in order to convey the big idea. But selling ideas is a unique skill anyway.

This happened after 1974 when the country had lost the decade-long proxy war against USA and URSS. As price to pay, the territories outside Europe were turned by the winning party into independent nations.

What was left of Portugal (European-side) was now a small land with difficulty to defend its independence from the neighbor Spain that would now be hostile to communist regimes, besides historically aiming to get the whole of Iberia under a single government.

The new government installed in continental Portugal was initially populated by the URSS cronies (Alvaro Cunhal & co.) who quickly realized that military power wouldn't be readily available to protect their sovereignty and grip in power. However, their own party (PCP) was familiar with resistance (they had survived for decades in such manner) and at that time, Portuguese was closer to the Brazilian Portuguese and easy for Spanish people to understand, which they saw as a flaw.

So they made arrangements for Russian teachers to modify the language taught in schools, alongside with government intervention in media (newspapers, radio, tv, events) to gradually modify spoken Portuguese to end with the (now famous) "chh" that you hear so often. Kids would learn this new variant straight in primary schools.

In case of invasion from Spain, the language would ensure resistance and a painful/slow path to complete assimilation in forthcoming years. Fortunately, URSS failed as a project, communism quickly failed in Portugal after economy went bankrupt, twice. Portugal and Spain joined together EU in mid 80's, both governments resumed working together as happening before 74 but the language modifications were a true success.

The population didn't realized this had happened until it was already so different from other nations that use Portuguese.

Portuguese aged today between 30 to 45 in mainland will be surprised with the ease how they can pronounce Russian correctly. Ironically, Brazilian Portuguese is truer to the original Portuguese than what you find in Portugal today.

Despite the marketing the ORM is very much distinct. You can use SQLAlchemy without ever touching or even knowing about the ORM.

The Expression Language on which the ORM is built on is more powerful than the ORM itself. You can do asynchronous IO with the Expression Language or generate SQL with it that you couldn't with the ORM.

This distinction matters. You can't just point to somewhere in the SQLAlchemy docs and say argue that because SQLAlchemy allows you do to X, there exists an ORM that can do X. Calling SQLAlchemy an ORM is a simplification that may be fine in some contexts but it ultimately isn't true.

I've met some of those people who use linux despite being normal. They complain constantly about Ubuntu's desktop user interface changing. I remind them gently that in linux-land all that crap is optional, but you have to give up on any claim to normalcy... and probably your disk auto-mounter... and any apps that blow up when they aren't able to choose their own size.

Privacy of developers seems a priority. Without any detail of course, can you comment on how necessary this has been. Is it irresponsible of me to work on an implementation in the clear?
I think you're missing the point of the question. The entire history and metadata of this repo are all part of the final product in its current state, not representative of intermediate states of development. Essentially, this is a timeline of events being represented as a git repository. If the timeline were represented as a single text file, it would be easy to version in git. However, since it is already represented as a git repo, versioning it becomes problematic. Suppose you discovered an error in the ordering of events. You would fix the error by rewriting the history of the git repo. But how would you represent the action of you fixing the timeline? You need a second git repo for that.
Nope, it's not true, at least for what I do.
