I got heavily downvoted for suggesting that maybe google shouldn't be forcing JS for login yesterday.

I feel somewhat vindicated with this, however the fact remains that the web today doesn't really work without JS. I don't see that changing for any reason other than it offering a better (or more consistent) experience, but that requires web developers to support that. Which I don't see happening any time soon.
if you ignore the slurs and pretend the piece is written in 4/4 (which I do for the sake of this), the last measure actually could plausibly precede the first measure (this happens where the sheet music shows the direction "du bout de la pensée"). But I don't think it would be as interesting a listen, and it wouldn't have been a very fun project.
I for one enjoyed the article. Very well done, with quality similar to good history books.

Quick note: typo near the end "However the FCC shielded AT&T from the implications of this for man years, with" should be "many years", I believe.
I've read that Microsoft used to bill a product's support costs to the product's engineering team to encourage them to ship products with fewer bugs.

Don't know why you are being downvoted. ACA plans are limited and pricey, but health insurance before Obamacare was a joke. Lifetime caps and pregnancy being a preexisting condition, and then trying to get health care by yourself.

We really need an option to buy into medicaid. No deductibles, no co-pays, dental included, network is limited, but so are ACA plans.
I don't know, it's actually more upsetting if it's just medical research? Otherwise I could've told myself it happens less when it really matters.

If anti-matter is regular matter moving backwards through time, it seems it should 'fall' upward.
> where the limitations are more about assets/artwork than technology.

As an aside, it seems to be there is an argument that being dependent on artwork for this is a product of inadequate technology, in that you don't have a good enough general model that you can just provide a simple description (perhaps with iterative refinement) and script to do what you want, with the technology doing what we currently demand of an artist.
> On the other hand, find a problem where geometric algebra gets you to a useful insight in a quicker or more natural way and few will object to treating it in that language.

I would argue that E&M and anything involving rotations (or Lorenzt boosts!) are two great examples where GA is miles ahead of anything other than differential forms but still has modest advantages of differential forms as well.

The main advantage I see in geometric algebra is that its a unifying framework. The same langauge used to understand E&M in GA is also useful in quantum mechanics, general relativity, complex analysis, linear algebra, etc. I'd argue that physicists don't mind this mish-mash of notations because they've already put in the work to learn them all separtely but I think there are real advantages (especially pedagogical) to unifying them into one framework.

I was working on the Cingular and ATT merger, my upper management asked me to fudge the numbers on roaming. I would gave the numbers in blue and orange, and blue (att) had better data handoffs on 3g. It made orange look so bad, (shitty network), they made me combine them, to which tanked ATT's network stats to the c-level.

One of many times, stats made someone look bad, and they made me change them.

Most the time, support metrics are altered to make it look like support contracts are hitting everything contractual.

This is daily business everywhere in tech. Mostly fudging to downright lying, just depends on the importance of the data if some mone is tied to it.

I don't approve of this shit, but lucky, I never been asked to commit fraud, like reporting sales that don't exist...

Just learned about Rockset today. Seems interesting but that pricing is way off considering that a columnar data warehouse like Snowflake has great JSON support and can handle way more data for far less. For 10M rows, even a single-node Postgres or MongoDB install will run just fine.

It's not an OLTP system, so is the primary use-case for Rockset to be an OLAP system with low response times?
Given that the literally first web server was at CERN, I hope they get a special price for their TLD.
https://home.cern/about/updates/2015/10/welcome-cern

"As such, a domain that limits CERN to one country doesn’t acknowledge the international, and increasingly global, nature of the organization, nor that its science and values transcend geographical and political boundaries."

CERN has all sorts of stuff going on, I don't know the details but its not just like a normal lab in a single country, there's special tax rules and diplomatic treatment for people who work there etc.

Computational research is incredibly difficult because it's usually hard to see the effect of a bug. A triangle drawn on the wrong place of a screen can be easy to see, but a typo in your integration subroutine? Hard to spot if you don't catch it when it is born.

I also had a few do-overs at the end of my thesis, but fortunately had a cluster standing by...
Yes, I've considered asking them how developers make any money with their system. They collect $9.99/month (or less), and you get a fraction of that. There's 200+ apps. Their webpage is notably lacking any concrete numbers or policies (like how many users they have, what their take is, or how they compute your share), but I just don't see any way this could amount to much money for developers.
To my knowledge, all legal formulations are diluted for administration and only the manufacturer handles the substance in its pure form.

Illicit fentanyl and its derivatives are usually distributed in their pure form, to people who have no training in handling hazardous substances.

Sometimes first responders to fentanyl overdoses will not even be able to enter the room of the victim without hazmat suits, because accidentally breathing in fentanyl dust or touching a surface in which the dust has settled could kill them.
This is RHEL. People buy support contracts for it because they want to run Oracle's database and other enterprise-y stuff on headless computers sitting in a rack somewhere.

As someone who uses RHEL (and also CentOS because we do our own support) at work all day long I'm surprised it had a supported desktop environment at all. I've spent tens of thousands of hours on logged into shells on RHEL systems and not once have I seen what the GUI looks like.

I'm sure RedHat to their delight has managed to find some clueless customer somewhere who's overpaying for RHEL as some GUI workstation environment, but that customer is going to be happy with GNOME.

State Medicaid plans can and do require deductibles, copays, and similar charges (cost sharing).

That's not at all what the author is saying. The author actually has a much deeper understanding of quaternions than most of their users and realizes that they are part of a much more general and useful structure known as the 3D geometric algebra and he advocates using that instead of quaternions.

GA(3) use objects that are isomorphic to quaternions to represent rotations but is much more comprehensible and generalizable than quaternions.
The same way quaternions do.
Grad students / postdocs / human lab rats aren't scum, the incentives just aren't in place to promote good behavior (such as calling other researchers out on their bullshit). If you're trying to acquire a vaunted tenure track job, you can't afford to piss off $senior_tenured_researcher_at_prestigious_institution, since $senior could blacklist you so that you won't get hired at the incredibly small set of universities out there. Sometimes things work out despite pissing off major powers (Carl Sagan technically had to "settle" for Cornell due to being denied tenure at Harvard, in no small part because of a bad recommendation letter from Harold Urey [0]), but not often.

Even if you do manage to get a tenure track job, you pretty much have to keep your head down for 7 years in order to secure your position.

And once you have tenure, you still get attacked vociferously. Look at what happened when Andrew Gelman rightly pointed out that Susan Fiske (and other social psychologists) have been abusing statistics for years. Rather than a hearty "congratulations", he was called a "methodological terrorist" and a great humdrum came about [1].

When framed against these circumstances, it should be evident that there is literally nothing to gain and everything to lose from sending out a short e-mail pointing out that someone's model doesn't work.

some devs are considering removing theming support completely

In other words, they're trying to copy Windows and Microsoft's aggressive feature removals from it? That's horrible, when for the longest time one of the biggest advantages of running desktop Linux was its easier and wider customisation.
Cool! Do you perchance have a writeup of your setup?

I managed to get a High Sierra VM converted to Mojave yesterday. Previous attempts had been failing due to the VM not being APFS. This link was helpful: https://licson.net/post/vmware-apfs/

I started musing if trying to get an eGPU to work with a Mac VM would be possible but that might be pushing it too far. It looks like Thunderbolt 3 support might be hit or miss from what I've been able to find so far plus I do not see a lot of motherboards (Z390?) that are TB capable. Gigabyte just announced a Z390 based Designare which looked interesting. https://www.guru3d.com/news-story/gigabyte-launches-their-al...

Current plans are:

* ESXI 6.5 or 6.7
* 10G NIC
* 32 or 64GB mem
* mATX footprint
* USB switch to control which machine keyboard/mouse goes to
* MacOS VM with iGPU passthrough
* Win VM with Nvidia GPU passthrough for gaming

I'm hoping this allows for my dream of having two machines in one without having to dual boot.

On a related note, I'm still annoyed that there does not seem to be a wealth of consumer MBs that have onboard 10G
The first article is really anecdotal and there are a lot of other explanations, which the commenters talk about.

Also, the illegality of LSD makes it so regularly people use something else thinking it's LSD. Part of the bad problems (such as HPPD) related to LSD usage could be caused by something else. Could also explain why it seems mushrooms are safer.

But it could also be that hallucinogen usage make people weird, yeah. As you said, we don't really know yet. I'm curious and really hopeful.
And given how cut throat fund raising can be I can't blame the cynicism.

Sometimes you're after the same money someone with a much stronger pedigree than you is after. Their false metrics are "Stanford" or ~"involved in building a popular but now defunct protocol" that is no better indicator than working on something.
>I think that one of the major uses for this drug will be to treat acute pain in chronic pain patients

(Assuming you're talking about long-term non-organic chronic pain here).

Opioids are no more effective than Nonopiod painkillers for treating chronic pain [1] and the risks of addiction (8-12% of patients become addicted [2]) mean that the risks don't really outweigh the benefits. Psychosocial treatments seem to be more effective for chronic pain than opioids.

not sure why you are being downvoted but this is essentially the truth.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3QAHK1Uy9ao (this 2005 model is 20k vs a 2005 Ferrari F430 would fetch at least 100k)

It's like the C-class. Everywhere in Vancouver, BC. Especially downtown, where debt to income ratio is ridiculously higher than other areas.

People will pay for the brand, true supercar enthusiasts pay on future value. In fact, people who collect rare supercars, do not lose money on what is otherwise a known depreciating asset.

ex. F430 Manual transmission started appreciating in value past handful years because of demand for the last manual gated Ferrari, its approaching high-mileage 430 Scuderia prices, which is ridiculous. Everybody knows the Ferrari 430 Scuderia is the rawest Ferrari you can experience of last generation, even more expensive than a brand new 458.

I also think the F430 front and rear is the best looking. I died inside when they revealed those ugly sharp edges in the 458. Then the sacrilege of putting a turbo.

whew! I kinda went off on a tangent there. but yeah, tldr, parent comment is right and not deserving of downvotes.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sufentanil

This is the drug the article is talking about.

>Sufentanil (R30730, brand name Sufenta) is a synthetic opioid analgesic drug approximately 5 to 10 times more potent than its parent drug, fentanyl, and 500 times as potent as morphine. Structurally, sufentanil differs from fentanyl through the addition of a methoxymethyl group on the piperidine ring (which is believed to reduce duration of action[2]), and the replacement of the phenyl ring by thiophene. Sufentanil first was synthesized at Janssen Pharmaceutica in 1974.[3]

>Sufentanil is marketed for use by specialist centers under different trade names, such as Sufenta and Sufentil. Sufentanil with and without lidocaine or mepivacaine is available as a transdermal patch similar to Duragesic in Europe under trade names such as Chronogesic. It is available as a sublingual tablet under the trade name Dsuvia.[4]

>Currently sufentanil is the strongest opioid painkiller available for use in humans. Although stronger narcotic pain medications do exist, all medications stronger than sufentanil are approved for veterinary use only.
You mean like good ole Arthur Andersen? Even the big boys will play dirty for the right price.
Yes, because MariaDB support is excellent and relatively affordable. On the other hand, you have Oracle...

Also, we like the percona performance patchset that made it into MariaDB and isn't in MySQL proper along with the pt-* toolset from percona.
Yes, at least when I last checked, that stuff wasn't present.
.NET Framework isn't going anywhere. Keep using it if you need to.

Why do you want/need to port something if it's already working fine?
It’s not reusable. It’s not consistent. It’s not scoped.

It may be hard to see now how it will bite you now, but I promise you, it will. It would take hours to explain why, but I am speaking from years of experience here.

There is a reason large organizations have abandoned this approach, and it isn’t just personal preference.

Language and history of the field matter quite a bit.

I read that comment to be in reference to temp workers, seasonal hires, or folks placed by staffing agencies that retain the employee for some period before "perma-hire" versus someone who may be under a 1099 but selling some kind of professional service b2b style.

Very well could be both-but I wonder which group takes majority capacity there.
I think that last point really needs to start with a thorough reform of basic mathematical education (starting from undergrad calculus) to have any chance of real success. The present mish-mash of notations, however disjointed, lends itself very well to teaching people who don't know much beyond basic real analysis and differential equations. You can't just throw them in a GA-based E&M class without completely changing the entire curriculum first.

Your first point got me curious, though. I found E&M in differential forms quite satisfying from an intellectual point of view (although of little practical benefit to the problems I was interested in compared to the classical approach, which I was plenty familiar with already). What advantages do you see for GA vs. differential forms in this context? This might make for a few interesting seminars with our math folks...
The United Nations seem to be ok with having just a .org
It's Deep Learning, not much to do with any analytical model, it's not thinking like a human :-(. Recently even good NLP processing needs 24GB+ for training (won't fit into 16GB), a good quality colorizing (no spills, natural colors) could be expected to be as demanding.

From the article:

"BEEFY Graphics card. I'd really like to have more memory than the 11 GB in my GeForce 1080TI (11GB). You'll have a tough time with less. The Unet and Critic are ridiculously large but honestly I just kept getting better results the bigger I made them."
Definitely not.

The original framework had decades of legacy and it can't just be redesigned without a major rewrite, which is not realistic or possible given the time and stability constraints. .NET Core is a new runtime with major differences (being cross-platform as a big change). This is much more technologically driven than Python 2/3 was.
If you shot a video of Earth orbiting the Sun, and played it backwards, you'd still see Earth orbiting the sun, just in the opposite direction.

If repulsion were time reversed attraction, then wouldn't you expect to see Earth launch into interstellar space?
What I was hoping to signal by using sarcastic expressions like "indisputably the best C# coding style" and "inarguably egregious" is that the notion of an objectively best style is unsupportable. Coding style is to some extent fundamentally subjective, and someone should at least think very hard about why a style they disagree with might be unexpectedly good or just a matter of aesthetic taste before "enlightening" the codebases of others.
Existence Is Pain
It’s “nearly 1 in 4” in the text, but I guess they altered the statistics slightly to make their case look better.
>No question is stupid!

Hear, hear!

Especially in this context. I have a modest understanding of just a couple of these compounds. And that comes by way of chronic pain people in my life.

Over time, doing the work to better undestand these things has paid off. They, at times, get contradictory or just bad advice, or see something that makes them worry, or think they are in danger somehow.

It can be hard to get clarity, and know a change is thearaputic vs compliance related, for example.

Anyway, I just liked that you said that and followed up with super easy to understand information.
In proof of stake, that could be a problem (though there are mechanisms people claim can handle it). But in a proof of work currency, having majority consensus would mean they'd have to have the majority of miners - and even then they have to follow the rules because users' nodes will just reject invalid blocks. And in the worst of cases, people can fork away, and if they change the PoW algorithm while doing so - they'll also render the malicious actor's ASICs useless.

I'm not saying this is fool proof, but the innovation of Bitcoin is precisely the system which is designed to resist these things (again, it's still very hard).
The only reason I know what this app is!
A black hole is a creature of pure self-sustaining curvature — the field itself has enough energy in it to maintain the warpage (as the singularity presumably at the core is beyond the event horizon and gravity, like everything else, cannot escape it’s own grip and emanate from the singularity to the event horizon where we observe the effects).

So tossing in antimatter would not do much. It would never cross the horizon in an external observer’s reference frame and thus would never interact with anything and thus would produce no effects.

Besides we know that when matter and antimatter react, they emit energy that has positive sign, not zero... twice the value of any particle’s mass. That in turn implies that matter and antimatter have the same sign of energy despite opposite charge.

Furthermore by coupling attractive matter and repulsive antimatter one could create a perpetually-accelerating device as the repulsive antimatter would try to escape the matter and the matter would chase after it. This obviously is cause for concern (but in general General Relativity does not conserve energy, so it’s not incompatible with the theory per se — just very dubious).

I’m expecting the antimatter to fall downwards just as matter would. But the whole point of science is to check that what you expect conforms to what the universe actually does. So this is definitely not a waste of resources: much the contrary, it’s a vitally important measurement to make.
