> No. At the end, his product is going to be replaced by other products that does the job better - until they also meet the same fate.

Yes, this is the very definition of innovation. Just because what you're working on is going to be replaced, doesn't mean it's not innovative. Of course it's going to be replaced, that's the whole purpose. Hopefully we get better and smarter along the way. Sometimes something that seems trivial to you as an engineer is mind blowing to a layman with domain expertise that goes on to leverage your software to help make the company more money in ways no one was expecting (or maybe save money). In other words, innovating.
fwiw, and this is going to sound incredibly cliché,

One thing I've found is that - people you're in relationships or freindships, of whatever kind, with - they put out a mix of positivity, negativity, whatever -

The only way to master the problem of people 'lifting you up' or 'bringing you down' is to own your own moods, and not ride the whimsy of positivity or negativity that other people are putting out towards you - then you can see other people's negativity for what it is - it might be their problems projected, their interactions with the world gone wrong, who knows - and you can help them - or choose not to.

There is negativity in the world, not negative people - you can avoid it, even successfully, but to be comfortable with it and navigate it well - that's a whole other world.

If you're not in a stable place emotionally, the advice in this article might apply, and I hope things get better for you.

All I know is I love my friends, including the one's who are hopelsss at being in any way encouraging. I see it as my problem and my job to be OK with them. And I think a lot of people share that attitude.

Pardon the rant. The topic got me worked up a bit.
Uuuuuuhhhhh... Wut? You use that?
None of them is quite average greek which would include people who worked fields, slaves, people who died young of injuries, women who died at childbirth, poor, nobodies who rode ships and went fishing and got sick and so on and so forth. There is big difference between average lifespan and elite lifespan. The more unequal society is (feudalism, greeks) the bigger the difference is.

The original "they lived short" refers to average lifespan, not to outliers.
> How do we know which of the many copies of that painting are the original? We arguably don't know that through any sort of measurement.

Of course we do. We can, for example, carbon-date the wood that the original is painted on. We can do chemical analysis of the pigments. There are a lot of ways to distinguish a real Rennaissance painting from a modern copy. But (and this is the main point) only because the technology we have for making copies of paintings is not yet perfected. If we could make an atomically perfect copy of the Mona Lisa, it would be absolutely indistinguishable from the original.
The discussion about Bitcoin Cash is slightly out of place here, but I think there are dozens of coins worse than it. I don't necessarily like Bitcoin Cash and their marketing shenanigans, but I think they represent a different take on Bitcoin scalability and definitely have a place in the crypto world.
There is an ancient stone list of Sumerian rulers that extends into 'antediluvian' rulers: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sumerian_King_List#Antediluvia...

Egypt recorded similar.

Dan Carlin references A.T. Olmstead in describing how the ancient world believed had eras of its own antiquities. It begins by referencing an event in 500 BCE but then proceeds to move further back in time. It's in the first King of Kings episode, with context starting at around 32:00 and the quote starting somewhere after 33:30.

(Here's a direct link to the mp3: http://hwcdn.libsyn.com/p/b/6/4/b64b6fbb6092322d/dchha56_Kin...)

Now, this same list says that these individual rulers lived for thousands of years. Obviously that is something of a red flag in terms of applying this list literally.

To me, though, it raises a lot of questions.

In conversation, however, it usually goes nowhere.
No, but you are probably in the minority.

I have one on the Dell laptop I'm using (which also has a touchpad). Once in a while I try to use it, but I find it almost impossible control with any kind of precision. Changing the sensitivity doesn't help much.

I first tried that device on the first Thinkpads that had it, back in the 90's or whenever it was. I have always had the same reaction to it.

How do you use it? Is this just a matter of getting used to it, and if it is, how long does it take?
But did you notice Star Trek movies suddenly disappearing? Check back the movies and series you've watched and meant to watch again at some point. Chances are, you won't find them anymore.

You're minimizing the value of "certificates with prestige". The reason they are valued is that they are a very quick and easy indicator of ability, even if they are only moderately accurate. It's incredibly difficult to judge the ability of someone who is self-taught, you have to dig into their self-study plan and prior projects. If you need to evaluate and sort 10 candidates in 2 hours, you don't have time for that type of research.

With the internet what it is, there ought to be a way to make this evaluation process less labor intensive.
You can leave shared folders if you don't want it to take up your space. Just ask the owner to make the folder public and share the link with you and you can view the pictures in the browser or download the folder as a zip and keep a snapshot of the folder locally. Seems reasonable to me.

If they didn't have this limitation, I would 100% have made tens of accounts and shared folders across all of them owned by just one of them, each device running a different dropbox account, effectively quadrupling my space for free.
> It's about owning the particular bunch of atoms that Da Vinci put together.

But that's the whole point: if you can make atomically perfect copies, then "the particular bunch of atoms Da Vinci put together" becomes meaningless. There is no such thing as "a particular bunch of atoms" in a world where the technology exists to make atomically perfect copies. "A particular bunch of atoms" is every bit as meaningless as "a particular bunch of bits", and for exactly the same reason: atoms, like bits, are actually states, not things.

My hobby is making stuff, electronics, wood working stuff like that. Like gaming it's time consuming and I often don't have the time or energy. So I just watch other people doing it on YouTube a lot more than I do it myself.

Welcome to the world of web developers, where reinventing a wheel is required at least once a day.
This is interesting work.

I've never noticed the referenced git operation as being slow. In my experience,

git log -- <path/to/file/or/dir>

has always seemed instantaneous or nearly so. It's quick even on code bases that are quite large (years of work from large teams, 10's of thousands of commits).

Maybe data and performance information on before vs. after bloom filters would help clarify the specific design goals.

I love seeing bloom filters in use in widely-used software in real life, in any case!
You're absolutely right, sorry for getting this wrong. My mistake was to assume that the body that sells you the license is also responsible for the standardisation, but as you described, this is not true.

On the Atari side:

Switching screen refresh times in the middle of the line in order trick the graphics chip to not draw the border so you can fill the entire screen with graphics is something every developer should have done, the Amiga with its fancy copper didn't need this.

I have been using 12" MacBooks since they came out because I live out of a backpack and travel a lot.

I cannot find anything comparable in terms of size/weight/battery and build quality. Especially the trackpad, nothing is remotely close. Otherwise I'd get that and put Arch on it.

People complain Apple is expensive, not so sure. The TCO may actually be less because of the high resale value. It is also more convenient.

More than once when faced with crossing an annoying border (TSA, sigh) I'd sell the Macbook at my origin and simply pickup a new one at the destination. Thirty minutes in-and-out of the Apple store, they all seem to have exceptionally fast wifi, and setup handled via a curl-to-bash of mine gets me exactly back to where I started, down to the sessions..

Since my points of origin usually have higher Apple prices due to currency/taxes, I end up accidentally eking out a profit after months of use per machine.

If you can't be arsed with the above consider this: Their retail global presence is getting to be quite complete, even coming to Samsung land (Seoul, behold: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xt4ldH5vQCQ) and Tel Aviv finally along with some others. Most big airport hub cities will have an Apple store close by.

Stuff gets broken or stolen and yet with this setup I'm generally never 24 hours away from my exact laptop setup...

There is no alternative. I feel trapped.

What kind of deeper integration do you find useful in those competing services?

For me, I found OneDrive being automatically installed on windows and nagging me to sign on too intrusive. Windows setting the default Document folder to onedrive would be convenient if I hadn't already signed up to dropbox, but it's just annoying if I don't have Onedrive. I like the fact that Dropbox isn't part of google or microsoft, which already have a lot of my info in their email services.
The most practical way to prevent detection (if you're that worried) is to do your business in toilets that are in some way public. Your school, your job, the train station (if it has regularly cleaned toilets), etc.

The Dell ones are vastly inferior to the ThinkPad ones. While I do not know the ones in the 20, the last ten or so years I worked solely with TrackPoint first under Linux now under Windows 10. Under Windows 10, there's a Mouse tab in Control Panel, there's a sensitivity slider and I found it's best to have it just one notch below fastest. The default makes me feel I am wrestling with my laptop.
In my case it all depends on having the FreeNAS up and running. Once that's working, it's pretty easy to configure it with a couple drives to have them mirror each other. I'm actually running FreeNAS in a VM, but I'm passing through the PCIE SATA controller so FreeNAS has complete control over the hardware, which is important for ZFS. My machine also has ECC memory, which the FreeNAS folks claim is pretty much a must. Hard to determine how true that is. I've seen some conflicting opinions.
> if giving people their own offices is worth the huge financial hit...

I would think it's only a huge financial hit in places like NYC and maybe the most expensive parts of SF. Elsewhere, even class A real estate isn't that expensive. You yourself quoted about $5k annually per employee above. While not peanuts, compared to salary or even benefits and perks, "huge" seems like an exaggeration.

Do we know that to be true, though, for a private company? The same as whom, Atlassian?
You might also try Dream Park by David Niven and Steve Barnes. I've only read the first book, but apparently there are two sequels as well.

Yeah I think it’s a combo of straight up talking a lot but also really listening to how you talk when editing together a video

I found myself really disliking how I spoke when editing the videos because it was a real pain to make my voice heard using all sorts of compression and volume normalisation

It was a decent insight into how others may be hearing me (or not, as the case was)
The 3K-5K is extrapolated based on the time spans of the claimed length of these civilizations but I should clarify that most of the writing about how the ancient world viewed itself comes from after 2K and especially after 1K.

The "biblical" (bad word for it, considering how ubiquitous it is as a legend world wide) flood fixtures prominently as a moment of civilizational collapse.

The tricky part is how to interpret the multi-thousand year "reigns" of the "gods" that supposedly came before that.

Lol! The scale at which these companies are (ab)using git is multiple orders of magnitudes greater than that.

You see, they think it’s a good idea to put every piece of code ever written in the whole company in the same repo. They call it the “monorepo”, and it’s hundreds of gigabytes with many millions of commits.

Microsoft even created a virtual filesystem which they run git on top of: https://github.com/Microsoft/gvfs
I have no idea how not to use it. Right index finger (I'm right handed) moves it round, right thumb presses the keys.

I'm not a classic touch typist, but my fingers tend to be near the home row most of the time, having the pointing device one or two keys away, and the mouse buttons next to space, is a big benefit. Having to shift my left hand to the left, and right hand down 3", just to move the pointer, feels like a lot of effort.

I use point-to-focus (but not raise) a fair bit too, as moving the mouse is almost as easy as alt-tab, I use it a lot to switch between terminal windows.
No. I even have a Lenovo USB keyboard which has the nipple for my workstation. Love them.
I notice that it's not uncommon for American recipes to be tied to a specific brand of sauce or similar. I don't see this as often in "European" recepies, here usually the recipe is broken down further or listing a generic ingredients, this makes the recipe more useful in contexts where it is hard to get "Trademark brand sauce", but of course you lose some precision in the flavor..

Modular cooking vs roll your own :)
These vegetables are not being stored in a low-acidity environment.

The fermentation converts sugars to acids. You don't add the acid to the veggies. The bacteria convert sugars into acid and lower the pH.

This is why pickles (cucumber) and sour kraut does not go bad.
People misuse Popper a whole lot. The paradox has more to do with being firm on the application of the rule of law as it pertains to violence than a metapolitical discussion.

your question: higher levels of beta amyloid would correlate with lower levels of virus. A metaphor for answering it: if the protection arrives late and the harm is done then the number of protectors can't be used to predict the harm. So to anaylize the correlation one has to know if the effect of the protection happen before it makes the harm or not. That is the speed here is an essential ingredient.
Emperator caveat: I applied abstract reasoning and a metaphor, don't know about the specific details of how beta amyloid is generated.

Also, for India, people miss the broadband cost. Because to consume Netflix, Prime you have to take into account the broadband. While as alternate media it is fine. It still can't replace cable TV. Not at this moment. It is still costly to replace all media consumption through data at this point. Once the broadband penetration and price fall further it will be different story.
First, we don't know exactly when the Mona Lisa was painted. From Wikipedia:

> ... It had been believed to have been painted between 1503 and 1506; however, Leonardo may have continued working on it as late as 1517. Recent academic work suggests that it would not have been started before 1513. It was acquired by King Francis I of France ...

So what we rely on here is custody records, all the way back to King Francis I. Also, why limit the discussion to modern copies? Again, from Wikipedia:

> A version of Mona Lisa known as Mujer de mano de Leonardo Abince ("Leonardo da Vinci's handy-woman") held in Madrid's Museo del Prado was for centuries considered to be a work by Leonardo. However, since its restoration in 2012 it is considered to have been executed by one of Leonardo's pupils in his studio at the same time as Mona Lisa was being painted.

Basically, it was a copy, painted at about the same time. Now imagine that King Francis I liked the Mona Lisa so much that he had one or more copies created. How would we know now which was the original? Only via records.

I like how the broadcasting comes out in the end in Julia. Besides that Julia has quite many niceties that I could only wish Spiral had and I do think that they matter significantly even if they are not vital. This is definitely praiseworthy work.

Since I haven't done so and I really should have, if you or anyone else still looking at this thread are curious how GPU programming without macros looks like then take a peek at this:

https://github.com/mrakgr/The-Spiral-Language/blob/3a94ca644...

Comparing Spiral and Julia code that has been linked so far, I feel that no one would ever guess without knowing ahead of time that Spiral is a static language and Julia dynamic based on these examples.

As an example of this in action, here is how layer normalization is implemented using the 'seq_broadcast' kernel which does a sequence of reductions and broadcasts in registers. It is also used to implement softmax for example.

From my research, garum was a ticker paste that involved a lot more solids. Most fish sauces, especially the Asian ones that get used in the western world, tend to be clear.

Last time I was in Thailand I delved into foods made with tai pla. It's a sauce that is thicker and made from fish entrails. Based on descriptions of garum I've read, this seems to be very close.

It's tough to accurately describe taste and flavor in literature.

Not necessarily. Remember, photons have mass. Sending a lot of them means you perform mass transfer. Since photons are not parallel, that transfer is not efficient. It's probably much more efficient to send a small package equipped with a large solar sail and push it from behind with a big laser until it reaches a relativistic speed, then decelerate it on the other side with another big laser.
