Hull speed (maximum speed for a non-planing aka "displacement" hull) is proportional to the square root of the length of the hull. The article says he has a "hull speed of just 2.5 knots". Most (well, all) crossings are done on much longer boats.

I charge almost double if client wants me on site, especially if all the company is crammed in open plan arrangement. You either can't focus well or have to keep destroying your hearing with headphones and work takes longer to complete. If WFH make sure to do a walk in the morning and after work and go somewhere for a lunch.
I especially liked the fact that although I have JavaScript disabled by default in Brave, I didn't notice that at first for React, Preact, Svelte, and Viper because those degrade well.
There is no point. Entropy keeps increasing.

This guy set himself a clear goal and is trying to achieve it. It probably brings him some fulfillment regardless of the result.
[Productivity] Transform Your Gmail into Organized Task Lists
Vacation days weren't compelling either. There is no business case for vacation days like you're asking for, except, similar to WFH options, it makes for happier employees. I'm sure you'd scoff at a company offering no vacation.

Also, it's sad to label employees preferring benefits and choice as selfish, vs huge companies sitting on piles of cash maybe losing .00000005% in productivity, if that's even true.

The same old arguments get trot out, and your arguments show where you are professionally. Business insight? Sorry to say but most people work to collect a paycheck. They don't make decisions, and typically their "insights" are ignored by management anyway. For every "insight" from a group discussion, there are just as many people working on their own, making important discoveries or taking steps forward.

This isn't band of brothers. I don't need subtle discussions or have to pick up on social cues nor am I a manager who has decision making power. I don't need to form lasting bonds with anyone. I just want flexibility with my hours to make my life more convenient-and a place that values that will get a lot more out of me than a place that doesn't. That is what the essay says: if you want to expand your options in hiring, offer at least partial WFH. And put me in the boat that agrees with that.

> No marketing is being done for items aside from announcing them in patch notes.

None perhaps for the individual add-on items, but there's been marketing to get people involved in the games for which the extra content is made. The audience is there initially because of the game, not initially because of the extra content.

> That is not something Valve does, considering the amount of items that clip through models after release.

That's a shame. I would expect that for the amount they keep they'd do some quality control.

If you want more control and a bigger share, make assets for a non-Valve game. Find an engine, some programmers, a musician, a level designer, and a couple of testers. Publish your own game. Of course, then you'd be splitting the game development share across all of those team members. So depending on the size of the team, 5% to 50% of the game team's share from your 70% from the sale of the game through the store would be that alternative, unless you're prepared to do it as a solo project. That, though, is for the sale price of the whole game rather than a single downloadable item. Then you can do the same with DLC packs. Indie games do tend to sell at lower prices than AAA titles, though.
I can believe some people (perhaps you!) genuinely object primarily to Corbyn's viewpoints on foreign policy, Northern Ireland, etc., but much of the media commentary seems disingenuous to me. Do people really think if Jeremy Corbyn took over from Theresa May, it would lead to him instituting gulags in the UK or something? This feels like trying to stretch disagreeing with something he said about the Cold War into some kind of actual worry about 21st-century policy he is likely to enact, for mostly election-campaign point-scoring reasons.

My usual assumption is that people focusing on those issues among the large media companies and especially the Blairite Labour-right, are mostly people who actually object to other parts of Corbyn's views. Namely the ones that are in the Labour manifesto and most likely to be enacted if he's elected. But such opponents don't want to attack those openly stated policy positions head-on, so they try to change the subject to Fidel Castro, as if talking about Fidel Castro in 2017 is relevant. For example, some people think re-nationalising significant parts of UK infrastructure is extremist, a return back to the bad old days of sclerotic state-owned companies. And if you did think that, it is completely fair to attack Corbyn on it, because that's something he supports, is in the manifesto, and would have at least some likelihood of enacting if in office. But many of Corbyn's opponents, even among people who call themselves Labour, seem allergic to debating his proposals to nationalise the rail system, i.e. to debating the actual policy direction the UK should or should not take. They don't like those proposals, but they would rather attack them indirectly, by debating something else.
Most instruments can make a wide range of different sounds, and players can move smoothly between the different sounds by playing the instrument in different ways.

This is really a kind of morphing. You can capture examples of each kind of sound with sampling, but you can't capture the performance morphing. Even if you could, there's no good way to perform the morphing with a typical synth keyboard, which only allows for velocity and maybe aftertouch - possibly poly AT for a handful of models.

So these huge sample sets have started using rule-based systems to try to add the morphing, or at least to make sample choices, in a context-sensitive way. This kind of works, up to a point, but it's not as good as the real thing.

As a side effect, sampling has driven jobbing composers, especially in Hollywood, towards an industry standard mechanical and repetitive orchestral sound.

It sounds orchestra-like, but it's a narrow and compressed version of all the colours an orchestra is capable of. If you compare it to the work of master orchestrators - Ravel, Stravinsky, Puccini - it's not hard hear just how flat and colourless these scores are.

A good ML model of an orchestral instrument would be a very useful thing, because it would make it possible to think about breaking out of the sampling box. But there aren't enough people with enough of a background in both ML and music to make this likely.

Sadly, I think it's more likely we'll get even more compressed and narrow representations, with even more of the subtlety and expressive range removed.

The author actually recommends against using an lexer/parser generator. If you are just playing around they can be find but he's right that when you are ready to get serious they often end up being a hindrance.

It's very much like he treats his mouth as an instrument of historical study. If he doesn't taste it, how will anyone know? Given he avoids eating things he thinks will certainly make him sick, it seems more "weird, but strangely admirable" than "demented". At least, to me.

Occasionally, very occasionally, you'll hear him hit a point where the food is so awful that he goes, "Why am I eating this?" But even then, it seems like a damn fair question, so you feel for the guy. :D There's a reason my friends and I nicknamed the channel, "Steve, Don't Eat It!"
Pancreatic islet transplantation is already a thing. Islets are isolated and are introduced into the portal circulation. They embed themselves into the liver.

This is normally only done in patients with brittle diabetes because of the need for immunosuppression. This is a less complex procedure than a full pancreas transplant.
Problem with that is that programming languages are not just about ASTs, they also have different semantics. A "class" in C++ is not like "class" in Java. Nor is it very easy to translate between a garbage-collected language and a one with manual memory management.

One could think that such an "AST in database" solution should have one agreed-upon semantics common to all its textual representations, but at this point you may as well serialize your AST into s-expressions and suddenly you're writing in Lisp.

I have never heard emulation of a physical instrument that matched the real thing. For instance movie studios hire musicians to fill in full orchestras for that reason. If they could get the same result without the musician I'm sure they would.
Many people cross the Atlantic every year in relatively (not like this) small boats every year. There are common procedures and knowledge available to people that do that, see here for example: http://www.yachtingmonthly.com/archive/arc-safety-checklist-...

Examples of gross negligence: being dismasted in low or moderate wind conditions because lack of maintenance to the rigging and/or motor failing because of lack of a fuel filtering system, departing when conditions are obviously not favorable (wind against current in the Gulf Stream off the US coast).

There is no such thing as a clear line but it can be established for each case I think.

Egg yolks are one of my favorite examples of things that look simple but really, really, really are not.

Its structure is intricate, much like a Chinese set
of nested spheres carved from a single block of jade.
We see the first layer of structure whenever we cut
into a hard-cooked egg. Where heat gels the white
into a smooth, continuous mass, the yolk sets into a
crumbly mass of separate particles. The intact yolk
turns out to consist of spherical compartments about
a tenth of a millimeter across, each contained within
a flexible membrane, and so tightly packed that
they’re distorted into flat-sided shapes (much like
the oil droplets that egg yolk stabilizes in
mayonnaise; see p. 626). When a yolk is cooked
intact, these spheres harden into individual
particles and give the yolk its characteristic
crumbly texture. But break the yolk out before you
cook it so that the spheres can move freely, and it
becomes less granular.

What’s inside these large yolk spheres? Though we
think of the yolk as rich and fatty, in fact its
chambers are filled mostly with water. Floating in
that water are sub-spheres about one hundredth the
size of the spheres. The subspheres are too small to
see with the naked eye or to be broken up by a
kitchen beating. But they can be seen indirectly, and
disrupted chemically. Yolk is cloudy because these
subspheres are large enough to deflect light and
prevent it from passing through the yolk directly.
Add a pinch of salt to a yolk (as you do when making
mayonnaise) and you’ll see the yolk become
simultaneously clearer and thicker. Salt breaks apart
the light-deflecting sub-spheres into components that
are too small to deflect light—and so the yolk clears
up.

And what do the subspheres contain? A mixture similar
to the liquid that surrounds them in the spheres.
First, water. Dissolved in the water, proteins: hen
blood proteins outside the subspheres; inside,
phosphorus-rich proteins that bind up most of the
egg’s iron supply. And suspended in the water,
subsubspheres about 40 times smaller than the
subspheres, some of which turn out to be familiar
from the human body. The subsubspheres are aggregates
of four different kinds of molecules: a core of fat
surrounded by a protective shell of protein,
cholesterol, and phospholipid, a hybrid fat-water
mediator which in the egg is mainly lecithin. Most of
these subsub-spheres are "low-density lipoproteins,"
or LDLs—essentially the same particles that we keep
track of in our own blood to monitor our cholesterol
levels.

Stand back from all these spheres within spheres and
the picture becomes less dizzying. The yolk is a bag
of water that contains free-floating proteins and
protein-fatcholesterol-lecithin aggregates—and these
lipoprotein aggregates are what give the yolk its
remarkable capacities for emulsifying and enriching.

Of course, we also moved to Amp and a PHP-cli-running-async-http-server model, so we can share the in memory extension, and did some cute stuff with Redis to get it running stupidly fast without memory leaks. Good fun really, PHP 7.1 is damned nice in a lot of ways, but annoying in others still.

Lollipop: Programming language with support for linear types
I'm not sure how I feel about this.

As it was, the drone registration system seemed reasonable enough - it wasn't onerous, and it wasn't expensive, and to an extent, it spawned a lot of companies to make drones that fell underneath the weight limit but still had a lot of capability.

At the same time, the rules imposed a small barrier on people who were just enjoying their model aircraft flying (ie - not what we would normally consider drones).

Other parts of the law (and I am not sure this registration system being struck down for now changes anything about the rest of the laws) seem to look to stifle innovations by hobbyists.

For instance, according to everything I've read, I can't legally fly (even after registering it) an autonomous drone, because the law doesn't seem to address the concept of a drone not under the control of an operator. Nor can I easily fly a drone in an FPV manner; even if I have a spotter, I must always be able to keep in "line of sight" of the drone, which practically eliminates the head mounted display system.

Furthermore, the whole "line of sight" prevents me from attempting to create a long-range autonomous or semi-autonomous drone for hobby purposes. One might argue why anyone would want to do that for hobby purposes instead of commercial purposes, but I don't think that's a valid question. I should be able to do this, and all those other possibilities, but the laws limit that, from my reading.

Now - if anything should fail - that's on me. And that's where I thought the registry was a good idea. Make it so that someone could register their equipment in good faith, and if they cause a problem (on purpose or accident), and don't report it or own up to it, then there's a means to track them down based on their registration. This of course won't stop people who don't register.

At the same time, on all of this, it would be nice if a few bad apples didn't ruin it for everyone else. For the longest time, no one had a problem with this kind of thing, then of course bad actors had to get involved and ruin it, forcing the hand of the government to step in. This issue is far from settled.
Identity politics nonsense.
Don't put them on probation. Just simply ask them to work in the office because they are not meeting deliverables.

Ahh, so I must never have done it, if I offer a different experience. I've managed teams before-with a mix of remote and onsite. And trust me-it is not that difficult, for competent managers. Managers are too often afraid to lead. The peter principle is very true.

The fact is not offering WFH causes many people to move on as well. I've lost many team members to it. Just as low pay does. People leave. This is the new reality. Businesses want to disrupt but don't want to be disrupted. They want to commoditize workers-not be commoditized themselves.

My problem is to ensure my team's success, and my team knows what their deliverable are by their deadlines. If you don't do anything for 20 days and finish it on 21 because it's easy? Fine by me. Just get it done.
On a side note. We were one of the first boats to visit the new marina in La Gomera. It's fantastic diving and the water is the coolest blue you will ever sea. On land. The island is very rustic and undeveloped. They have a project wind farm that uses gravity storage to power the entire island. It's not the easiest island to get to but it is worth the trip.
rclone was blessed by Amazon. It was an official app developed by a developer using their official API.

And now, without any warning, it is not. For many use cases, rclone is the only practical way of getting data in and out of Amazon Cloud Drive.

Amazon still hasn't bothered contacting me to let me know. Despite the fact that rclone was used with my Amazon Cloud Drive account daily.

"Oh hey FYI, we've disabled the app you use to access your data, good luck getting your data, have a nice day" would have actually been better than they approach they chose instead (disable my access + radio silence).

Fortunately I planned for this eventuality.

But this is yet another striking reminder of how foolish it would be to doing anything important while depending on just one cloud company.

After the thunderstorm, when the sun shines, often the clouds are no longer there.

How the Wealthy Talk to Their Children About Money
This 'yacht' is as wide as it is long and deeper under water than it is long. It also, if I understand things correctly, drags its emergency water tank along, and has 'saddle bags' that also are outside that 42 by 42 inch square.

I think they should measure these ships by underwater volume at time of departure.

Otherwise, the next 'yacht' will be a foot long and wide but 20 feet high, most of it underwater, and some brave/suicidal soul will volunteer to 'sail' it.
