I think we can all agree some notebooks are shit storms and should not be relied upon at ALL for production. AT my job we started using notebooks as an 'in-repo', 'interactive' documentation of sorts. Showcase various modules and give simple usage examples of them. It was pretty awesome. I love using notebooks as a more advanced scratch pad. For the times when ipython shell isnt enough, and you want something extra. Also i had to install the vim bindings ASAP, gotta have that vim
That sounds just exquisite, and I hope to someday have a similar set of habits. It's been a real challenge though so far.

Just wanted to say that this article is what got my attention of Waldorf in the first place and was the seed that grew into today!

I read this same article back then. When we were looking to relocate to San Francisco we toured that same exact school! Loved the school, but didn't love Silicon Valley that much and decided to move to Portland instead (the vegan scene + public transport wins over SF).

This school does actually have a more strict no-screens policy than other Waldorf schools (we toured many). They had a lovely campus and our kids are doing great at the Swallowtail Waldorf school here outside of Portland.

I like Waldorf because no matter where you move in the world there is usually a Waldorf school, and while they are all a bit different in their implementations, they share core values and I feel would make the children feel at home in a similar way.
In awe.
Okay, then say that. Don't downvote, or if you have to downvote, justify it then and there.

BTW, people use the mouse to select and change the cursor position all the time, so it's very relevant to the topic since it's a step toward desktop-like mouse support.
I would LOVE to see the pitch deck they used for this. Is the goal to just sop up transaction fees across * crypto?

I'm on the "normie" edge of crypto but I haven't seen anything particularly exciting come out of the space into the mainstream for a while. Some sites support paying with Crpyto but most "3rd wave crypto" people I know are HODL-ers and hoping that they made the investment of their lives.
That's very interesting, thanks for the insight!

Do you know any Linux distros that try to solve this issue, outside fedora here?
No, that's not a valid argument.

Apple[Jobs] produced a steady stream of industry game changers - original iMac, iPod, iPhone, iPad, even the MacBook Air. Plus supporting ecosystems and software, including Siri and iCloud. And business relationships - with music companies, movie companies, phone carriers, podcast creators, and app devs.

Apple[Cook] has acquired a mountain of cash, but product development has followed a consistent and predictable faster+thinner+more_expensive path.

No game changers. Not one. Watch is the closest thing to a new class of products, but it seems to be an Ive vanity project rather than something that really scratches a user itch that users didn't even know they had - which was the classic Jobs USP. (And - ironically - Watch isn't obviously a design classic.)

No big new ecosystems. No big new business relationships - unless you count far-from-leading options like ApplePay. No game changer products. Just endless glacial refinement.

Which is fine for generating mountains of cash, especially when you're selling into new markets like China.

But you can only keep producing reruns for so long before you lose momentum. And buyer good will isn't infinite.

Luckily for Apple, Windows is still an incredibly terrible POS as an OS, so the motivation to switch isn't there. Nor is MS ever likely to do better for cultural reasons.

And Linux is - Linux.

So Apple can continue on this path for five more years. Maybe ten. But when the next new thing appears - quantum, bio, plain old distributed, whatever the hell it is - Apple will be buried by it.

> Adjust the configuration of Orchestrator to prevent the promotion of database primaries across regional boundaries. Orchestrator’s actions behaved as configured, despite our application tier being unable to support this topology change. Leader-election within a region is generally safe, but the sudden introduction of cross-country latency was a major contributing factor during this incident. This was emergent behavior of the system given that we hadn’t previously seen an internal network partition of this magnitude.

Depending on the step a LQCD calculation might run on 4, 8, 16, 32, or even more nodes (linear solves and tensor contractions, for example). It's coordinated with OpenMPI and MPI (or equivalent, see my other comment on the software stack). The results from solves are typically valuable and are stored to disk for later reuse. That may prove impractical at this scale.

I'm not sure how big the HMC jobs get on these new machines---it depends on the size of the lattice (which gets optimized for physics but also algorithmic speed / sitting in a good spot for the efficiency of the machine).

>> It’s possible for Orchestrator to implement topologies that applications are unable to support, therefore care must be taken to align Orchestrator’s configuration with application-level expectations.

So basically Orchestrator acted correctly but application layer is not nicely integrated with it? Sounds like something not well designed on application side, which offests the whole point of global consensus. Not much detail provided for what exactly went wrong on this though.

They mentioned that they'll take extra care of this but I'm still very concerned about the reality that two systems (orchestrator & app) are so loosely coupled.

I value art projects the same way I value scientific theories. A complicated theory explaining a simple idea is less valuable than an elegant theory explaining something complicated. If an art project is fundamentally simple, but its presentation leaves me with a lot of questions (and not in a good way), then likely I won't consider it particularly worth it to delve deeper into what the artist is trying to convey. I feel like this page could have been made a lot less opaque.
> "Technology is a distraction when we need literacy, numeracy and critical thinking."

Hydrogen molecules (2 atoms) are much larger than the single-atom helium molecules. This is why helium gas is uniquely difficult to seal.

What drives this wide range of flammable concentrations? Is it just an issue of low activation energy?
Indeed. I had to reread that paragraph. That's a LOT of helium (by volume).

"So, i noticed some of the workers' iwatch's weren't registering the users' heart-rates. At first, I thought it was because they had all died from suffocation from the massive gas leak. But, then I discovered something interesting... it was actually the helium molecules worming their way into the internal clock chip! Amazing day."
Hydrogen is soluble in most metals. It will just diffuse right into it, like air flowing through a foam filter.

Added bonus: if the metals in question form chemical bonds with hydrogen, (titanium in particular) it will happily do so, even if it's deep inside the metal. The metal will turn very brittle very quickly if it's exposed to molecular hydrogen.

I just got a surface book 2 after having trouble adjusting to the touch bar mbp. It is not perfect in any way but everything I care about (thermals, battery, performance, keyboard) got so much better. WSL is a good enough shell replacement and windows as a whole feels more productive. The touch and tablet mode is surprisingly handy. It is weird but after 10 years die-hard mac user I don’t feel it no more. No matter how hard I try, iOS keeps being a toy (media consumption/browsing) and mac has the wrong priorities. Maybe that changes with next years Pro lineup. Right now I am a refugee in the Microsoft ecosystem. And I like it.
There is often a trade-off between a large distributed central store and several independent ones. The primary con of the former being incidents like this one, whereas the con of the latter is separate systems to perform eventually consistent aggregation to support some centralized features adding complexity. I wonder if there is any value in GitHub decentralizing the metadata pipeline. So many of the actions are namespaced that this could be reasonable theoretically, at a large practical cost.

On a related note, I often reach for Cassandra when starting projects knowing that building my application around its limited access approach has data replication benefits in the future. For all the flexibility benefits to devs given by SQL/RDBMSs, there are flexibility downsides.

You're continuously producing CO2 whenever you're alive. If you fall down and land in a normal atmosphere then your normal breathing reflex will save you. Low oxygen atmospheres don't stop you from breathing; they're dangerous because you continue breathing as normal. The CO2 is carried away from your lungs with each breath, so there's no feeling of suffocation.

I don't think that's the right interpretation of it. The "unable to support" in this case seems to have been "can't reliably work due larger latency between components". A tighter coupling between the two would likely not have encoded this knowledge either.

Multi-actuator hard drives will not close any performance gap. They will just help slow the decline in IOPS/TB that higher capacity drives bring.

They accomplish this by essentially being multiple hard drives sharing a common spindle and helium-filled enclosure. As Seagate is currently implementing the idea, you still have only one head per platter, and at most one independently moving head per platter (but currently the stack of platters is just divided into two groups). Thus, sequential performance does not improve at all (and actually is reduced by the number of independent actuators), and random I/O increases by a small integer factor when the gap between hard drives and the slowest SSDs is already more than two orders of magnitude. However, power consumption shouldn't be much higher for this kind of multi-actuator hard drive over existing hard drive designs.
Pretty much all iPads ever had had this feature, but I find this advancement super innovative!

Perhaps the acceleration is consistent with tumbling if it just-so-happened to tumble (slowly) into a sailable angle at around the time the acceleration was noted, or is tumbling fast enough for things to average out?
Here is just one of your incorrect inference :

> Black crime rate being high explains black arrest rate being high.

Where is the causality here? Sure, there is a correlation and sure, it may be seen as a reasonable argument, but like your point before about CO2 not being a problem, you completely overlook that there could be many causes for the same event.

How is your fact about crime rates invalidating the position "there is racism amongst police forces"? The effect of the higher crime rates _and_ racism are not mutually exclusive.

But you choose to rather adopt a point of view where every situation can apparently be 100% explained by a single cause. And that cause is that black people are not "up the standard" -- whatever standard you are talking about.

Yup, that's racism.
What proportion of enlistees in the military post ww2 have ever a lot of shooting experience.

Sounds like presumably "USA" is not expending enough time and money on target practice - I would hope that UK still understand s the lesson taught by the Napoleonic wars that well trained and practiced troops are key to winning a firefight.

And crew served weapons is quite different to traditional marksmanship and that's where most of the killing is done these days.
It seems obvious, but perhaps you should ask your bosses what they want you to ask or find out about this person? At best, your role here is to screen the person for your bosses - at worst, which seems to be the case here, it's to waste everyone's time. If I were interviewing for a senior position and I was asked to get lunch with a junior person with no clear agenda, I'd be concerned about the lack of seriousness of the organization.

I come from a more privileged background with a lot of family support, so I can see the good (stability and guidance allows you to learn, socialize, grow, stay out of the death spiral of the penal/judicial system) and bad (overdependence on parents, growing up in a bubble, not learning lessons in a visceral/hard way that will stick with you, mistaking luck and hard work) from where I've come from.

I appreciate you sharing your personal perspective, and I agree. I wouldn't want to provide any monetary support for my children post university (unless it is more of a business transaction with stipulations on what it can be spent on/payback period), but would want to provide stability and travel/educational experiences growing up, and be there when shit happens as it usually does

Per your privilege comment, travel has been the most helpful for me to get outside of my bubble, so I think you hit the nail on the head. It's like the fish swimming in water parable:

There are these two young fish swimming along, and they happen to meet an older fish swimming the other way, who nods at them and says, "Morning, boys, how's the water?" And the two young fish swim on for a bit, and then eventually one of them looks over at the other and goes, "What the hell is water?"

I don't think that's such a big deal in practice. See http://jakewestfall.org/blog/index.php/2018/03/12/logistic-r..., for example.

tl;dr: The upshot is that non-collapsibility means that I can't use LR coefficients for things that I don't really need to use them for, anyway. That doesn't feel like a crippling limitation to me.

(Well, also, I have to occasionally pause to cross my fingers and say, "ceteris paribus," under my breath, which does admittedly make people think I'm some sort of weird Harry Potter nut. Which is OK. They're not wrong, they're just right for the wrong reason.)

Nor does it render its coefficients less interpretable than those of most other models. "Less interpretable than OLS" can still be pretty darn interpretable.

But given the way games also tend to be addicting, I wonder if it hurts people's drive/motivation (on aggregate, not per individual) as much as it helps people's finger dexterity.

I often wonder if certain sports actually do a better job training dexterity, short of focused practice on specific tasks. Or knitting, or juggling, or... heck, even cooking.
I meant more that you don't feel like you are suffocating when you are inhaling helium, so it can be hard to realize something is going wrong until it is too late. Definitely easier to suffocate with heavier-than-air gasses though.
This assumes students have a good idea what specialty they plan to enter when they start medical school, which I assure you is not the case. Even then, there are "non-surgical" specialties where some surgical skills are needed, so it's not as simple as saying "surgeon or not." Family medicine and ob/gyn would be the classic ones, but also emergency physicians, for example.
Exactly. People tend to look at a chart of energy use per capita and GDP growth and assume that the same correlation must continue to hold.

But a better designed game or app doesn't necessarily require more energy to run. I can envision a economy where people trade trade digital goods, and that economy can keep growing pretty much without limit because the value is all based on intangible factors.

Imagine a hypothetical world where everyone is a programmer and everyone has the same small 20 watt computer. Would people just give up and stagnate? Or would they continue to improve and create more value for other users by making more efficient use of the 20 watt computers they are stuck with?
I like jupyter and use it all the time mostly because I can log what I do for future reference. But I have to work around it so much stuff it can get really annoying sometimes. Yeah, compared to the Matlab IDE and how easy it is to use, it's not even close. But it's an open source project, so people tend to find it awkward to criticize it a lot (I mean, that sentiment is justified since it's mostly volunteer work but sometimes it can get to be too much).
