I wish/hope Google would enable higher resolution images from this app.

I started using this... something over a year ago.

It was, and last I checked, still is limited to a resolution of 2000 pixels in the largest dimension.

At that time, news circulated that internal developer settings allowed for higher resolution. And one could unpackage the app, change a configuration setting to make the hidden menu/control for this visible, then repackage. Or trust someone who did this for one particular release and shared the altered package/app.

The explanation I saw for the app officially shipping with this setting hidden/inaccessible, is that it slowed processing and final image construction significantly.

Personally, I'd be willing to wait, especially for a setting I choose to turn on and can always turn off again. And also, in the meantime, phones have gotten significantly more powerful. So...?
Interesting. What did you object to specifically?

True there are some applications even if they may be inferior to conventional weapons in some ways - the real weakness with the biological weapons is protective equipment. Stopping bullets is hard and explosives are even harder. However like chemical weapons masks and coveralls can offer complete protection in many cases.

The interesting thing is that many of those targets are also conventionally attackable yet don't seem to be even considered. Firebombing farms isn't the norm although it is technically an option to weaken them.

For instance terrorists could cause a lot of disruption and casualties just by sabotaging train tracks or shooting substations yet they they target people directly instead. It seems almost memetic that they avoid the 'boring' options even when they lack other motivations. Al-Qaeda doesn't plan on annexing the US in even their wildest dreams so they would have no reason to care about damage to an asset - it is even cheap and uses highly available tools locally. Yet they never even attempted it. The closest thing was considering bringing a plane into a nuclear powerplant until they did the math and realized that it wouldn't cause a meltdown, radiation leakage, or even loss of power - it would cause cosmetic damage.
I've seen something that sounds related. In grep, in the en_US.UTF-8 locale, sometimes I can match [A-Z]+ and it will match accented uppercase strings such as "SCHÖN". It will not match lowercase letters.

This is often desirable, except for the part that I don't know what the heck ranges mean anymore. "Ö" is certainly not between "A" and "Z" in codepoint order. It is in collation order, but if it were collation order, it would match lowercase letters. How does this work?
If these are the best justifications we can come up with, it doesn't change my opinion that the current reliance on UB by compilers is a bad idea. Anyone got any better ones?
sorry, I don't have a more scientific link to point you to, but thought the topic would be interesting to this group
One thing that fascinates me about archeology is how they would come up with new conclusions based on a single observation. Quite the smallest sample size of any natural science I can think of, only thing I can compare to is the case study in medicine and psychoanalysis. One case, but very intensely studied.
I concur, with the caveat that whether you need to have a formal education in computer science depends on the types of problems you are trying to solve and the types of systems you're trying to build and maintain.

Yes I agree with your rewording, I would just add that it doesn’t seem difficult to find a solution that satisfies both parties. Of course inertia is the real barrier. The current fee structure was designed when printing books was expensive, and that’s why it seems so obtuse in retrospect.

BTW, even the dreaded "heel strike" isn't as bad as many seem to think. In the article I cited in another comment here, they actually found that heel striking is more energy-efficient. Other studies I've seen have suggested that heel striking is more often a symptom of another problem than a problem itself. It might or might not be ideal, but among dozens of other mechanical issues people can have - e.g. overstriding, pronation/supination - it's only one part of the picture and IMO is often a distraction from any given runner's real issues.
Glad to hear it, and I hope they come up with a canine solution with speed.

Engineers were involved as consultants but their assessment was cast aside.

> What’s more, according to court documents, the investigators learned that on July 3, 2014, one week before the ride’s grand opening, an engineering firm hired by Jeff and Schooley to perform accelerometer tests on Verrückt’s rafts had issued a report suggesting that if the combined weight of the three passengers in a raft was between 400 and 550 pounds—the weight Jeff and Schooley had agreed was appropriate—there was a chance the raft would go airborne on the second hill. The ride opened anyway, with the weight range unchanged.

In the end, no expert vouched for the ride’a safety.

> Kansas City reporters began digging. They quickly learned that their state, like Texas, allows water parks to be self-inspected. (Under the headline “The making of Schlitterbahn’s Verrückt water slide: Too much, too fast?” a Kansas City Star article concluded that “the ultimate safety of [Verrückt] mostly began and ended with those inspired to build it.”)

you've guessed it, i don't wish to discuss your question at all, no offense. i believe it's a distraction and of little importance. This belief, though i am confident it is a product of my incredible intellect¹, more likely comes mostly from my distaste the US government due to the things I've read in the leaks, and my belief that the US government would do anything to bury wikileaks, up to and including slander and libel.

I could not disagree more. As the article states, and this meshes with my layperson's understanding, mitochondrial malfunction is a key facet of aging. While we strongly suspected the role of mitochondria, being able to turn them on and off and observe their effect really cements our understanding that, yes, they are involved in the ways we think they are. Further cause for optimism is that toggling the mitochondria toggled other age-associated behaviors in the mice.

One of the pillars of SENS is allotropic expression of a subset of mitochondrial genes in the nucleus, to get those genes away from the mitochondrial furnace. We can speculate that other mitochondrial gene therapies may emerge from work like this.

I can't be disappointed by this progress!
Fundamental or emergent? What does that even mean?

Like nearly everything else in reality, you’d expect consciousness to be continuous, not integral. We know there are diminished states of consciousness by experience and observation. As such there wouldn’t be any lower limit on size of conscious objects, just smaller and smaller degrees of consciousness.

I read this a lot. I am currently studying CS and I kind of regret it for that reason. Sure, the topics tend to be very interesting and I gained some real insights from some classes, such as OS, but I probably won't ever use this stuff when I start working. I kind of wish I did EE/ME or Math instead, especially because I actually quite enjoyed my math classes.
Enjoyed the article, but I often wonder about the metrics of ads that appear mid stream on a satirical article such as this.

I noticed a few ads for Hewlett-Packard within the article, but the cartoon-y graphics used and their placement within the article body just made me think they were faux ads that fit the comedy nature of the article.

It was only when I scrolled through to another (serious) article and saw the same ads that I realised they were actual legitimate ads.

I love knowing that I was the person to create the first Wikipedia article on resilience. I didn't have an account at the time, but the IP address is there forever. It's since been disambiguated, which makes it look only 10 years old, but the first edit was me and it was in the material science sense of the word, though now I like to think it says something more generally about me, even if I know that that type of magical thinking is hogwash.

It’s misleading since the newsworthy context has been removed for the sake of pedantic rule adherence.
Correct.

I own a table saw and have been working with wood as a matter of practical necessity for the past several months while renovating a home; this article wouldn't be the first time I've stumbled upon the term riving in the context of woodworking.

So when a 17-image photojournal describing a manual woodworking procedure concludes with a battle axe pose remarking on its ability to chop through a leg bone, the prose struck me as aggressively misplaced. I mean table saw and chain saw accidents are relatively commonplace and surely claim a fair number of limbs every year, but the efficiency of a woodworking tool in its misuse case isn't typically paraded as a metric of merit...unless you're an organization dedicated to combat training...then the prose makes complete sense.

> The answers bring up the topic of updatable views, which got me curious.

Even for those, INSTEAD OF triggers provide a better solution these days.

> Views are great for bringing together data from multiple tables, but it seems that such views cannot be updatable: (from the docs) "The view must have exactly one entry in its FROM list". Thus it seems, while it might be handy, views can't help you spread an update across tables.

Note that that's just talking about automatic updatability. If you manually create INSTEAD OF triggers that restriction doesn't exist.

> In what use-case are updatable views superior to updating directly on the underlying table?

It's not uncommon that views are used to keep older applications working in the face of schema chanes, or to merge previously independent databases together. That will often mean that DML to one table affects multiple underlying tables.

Haven’t been there, but it’s probably a bit like Namibia, which had the unfortunate experience of briefly being entangled in German dreams of colonization: they have radio stations continuously playing German folk music from the 1920’s.

It’s not explicitly fascist music (as far as I can tell) but the association was strong with everyone who heard it.
I think that modifiing reader literal is an error mostly to allow implementations to store such pairs in read-only pages (eg. in .rodata section when you build standalone executables) and to allow simple implementation of CDR-coding for reader literals (dfsch has three distinct implementations of abstract <pair> class for exactly this reason and to be able to actually signal meaningful error condition when you violate this restriction).
The Praetorians became the 'deciders' during power vacuum moments and would have the weight of the authority in anointing the new leader because without there support the new nominee could not be viewed as legit ... and though it seems there was less of political motivation early on, over time, they basically sold out and just used their authority for political purposes to gain money and power.

Though it would rather seem there was a lot of civic corruption during that time on all levels.

For those who want to walk this road I'll share some insights that I think would have helped me progress faster.

You will need to face every thought that you normally would censor due to shame, those include (usually in this order): sexual thoughts, psychotic thoughts and religious thoughts. Then you will reach true vulnerability and loneliness (which is the prerequisite for truly connecting with others).

Any 'spiritual path' will take you through the same process but psychadelics do it faster meaning there is less control (i.e. less feeling of safety) however this can be a good thing since we often use the control afforded through for example yoga to avoid facing some flaw in our methodology.

As always I recommend patience as the principal approach and an absolute belief that the true nature of the world is 'good'.

The key insight is that everything is about relaxing and trusting the wisdom that lives deep down, it doesn't matter what you are doing, if you approach it in this way with balance and compassion as goals then you can feel better.

My main problem with the [A-Za-z0-9] notation is that it looks great at first glance. I mean, it looks really, really great. Of course [A-Z] means all capital letters. And then you think about it, and you start to suspect something like the situation described in the article. Suddenly, you're in the familiar but dizzying position of being perched atop a shoddily-built and wobbling tower of abstractions. You feel your familiar nausea soaking in from the periphery of your editor window.

This doesn't get posted enough. But the issue seems to be that Apple favours a quieter and cooler machine over performance. As such they run the fans a lot slower and later than they could.

So if you manually adjust the fan speeds (plenty of apps that do this) you can get significantly (10-15%) better performance.
Even after my edit, you assume I didn't read the article. Others also assumed I didn't know about the issues mentioned in the article. This is wrong.

I don't have to say anything else- replies likes yours clearly illustrate the point.
It's too small for a commercial flight. A commercial flight needs to carry enough people to be cheaper than a private flight. With the exception of exceptionally long flights, private flights can match the total travel time of a commercial flight on a much faster plane because they can can match the passengers' preferred start and end locations and the passengers' preferred schedule much more closely than a commercial flight can.

An alternate LinkedIn game that I've done many times with colleagues (and which works better on the web/desktop UI) is:

* Ensure you have at least 50 connections

* Go to the 'My Network' then 'People You May Know'

* Scroll down and enjoy some of the ridiculous profile photos eg people at the horse races, photos with partners cropped out, weird off-camera poses, 1980s hair, etc

* Try not to laugh

Admittedly with the recent rise of 'personal brands', this game is more difficult than it used to be - yet still juvenile!

Also, what the heck is a 'thought leader' anyway? Isn't it better to be an 'action leader', a decision-maker, a publisher of some description; someone who does something or produces something meaningful?

Not all thoughts were created equal, of course, and there are not many 'thought leaders' on LinkedIn who were not self-appointed!

I ran a software company and a team for 4 years, here's my experience:

1. I'm in this with Sloaken, it's about the money. Code artesans won't make it in the real world. I mean, you might get very lucky and have a huge budget and all the time in the world, but unless you count on winning a lottery it's not happening. Deal with it, it's about making money with the code, not vice versa.

2. That one little extra thing you decided by yourself to code turned into 2 bugs, 4 feature requests, missing documentation and a duplicate tool library since another developer / team was working on something similar. In other words: don't go solo.

3. Getting shit done is the number one quality of a developer.

4. This is more towards designers but applies to developers as well: The customers' opinion about our UI/UX comes first, your opinion second.
