Sure if this was my job, then I would do it but I am just contractor with set amount of hours devoted to the project. First few years was spend fighting fires as the company needed this very specific software to function, currently it is just about keeping eyes on having it run and occasional fix some report or update data pipelines.

I would say that rewrite would cost about 2 millions of euros. Which is really big price tag for company that use this system as a backoffice tool.
The filters are also designed to have air pulled through them.

There's often an electrostatic component that ties into a filter's efficacy, as well.
Your conclusions are entirely false. It’s obvious that any human can explain to another human how their thought process works and what their reasoning behind decisions were. You’re just wrong, and you spent a lot of time writing up conclusions that don’t make sense.
They take and keep the tracking data. What they say they use it for doesn't change that. If they simply incremented a counter the bit about "keeping access to the data secure" would make no sense.
Like reading the journal you found in the abandoned house you just moved in and it belonged to the previous kid that used to live there. Sounds like a movie.
> I also think saying "we don't bother with documentation or configuration because nobody reads or uses that" is kind of a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Oh yes, and it's so deeply ingrained in the culture.

At my previous job, our customer made us use a pretty crappy, proprietary integrated system for task management, bug tracking and version control. Everyone hated it with passion. It took me over a year to finally stop and think for a moment - that maybe it has some more efficient modes of working, and maybe there is some logic to its organization? I clicked Help -> Manual and, lo and behold, I was looking at a large compiled help file describing everything. Every functionality, the fundamental concepts behind the software's UI and data representation. Hell, it even mentioned the API. 30 minutes later, I still didn't like the software, but I was finally somewhat comfortable with it.

I was probably the first person to do that in that company. A lesson here is that unfortunately, the instinct to bitch about software instead of trying to find a manual is strong even in power users. I took that lesson to heart, and these days I'm e.g. very friendly with Info pages in my OS. Turns out if software you regularly use has a decent manual, reading it (or at least skimming, and I mean cover to cover) has absurdly high payoff.

> they shouldn't get punished by being restricted to the lowest common denominator. That doesn't mean there can't be friendly defaults, "wizards", and whatnot.

Exactly. Lower the start of the learning curve, but don't flatten it entirely, don't dumb down your application for the sake of "easy to use". Power always comes with some amount of complexity and learning.
I'm glad to see this OP, as my post was initially going to be pointing you towards the support materials, eg.g Caesar: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ergRKv3DglI

I would suggest you have a golden opportunity here, tbh. You have identified an area of useful skills which you currently are lacking - and a source of info where to learn. That's good. More importantly than that, your fianceè is currently doing the course and is right at the start! If you sign up to CS50 now (it's free!), you have maybe 4-6 hours of lectures to catch up before you are at Ceasar yourself, and then you can work through this excellent course together!

You will learn lots, some of which may be very useful. As will your fianceè. And you'll both have a much easier and fun time having a partner to discuss the lectures and problem sets, helping each other out here and there, before having to reach out for assistance.
No, it's not. The gear necessary to maintain controlled fusion is not portable.
That's not how symbols work sans symbol versioning, you see c doesn't mangle symbols thus function foo on version 1 is the same as function foo on version 2 even with a completely different signature.
I think you can describe a group or mixture of chemicals in a chemical footprint in its particular chemical properties, for example, "an alkane chain of 80-85 carbons with an alcohol bound on carbon no. 21 and an ethyl-keto bond on second to the last carbon". Does not have to single out a chemical.

Forgive the dumb question, but what's the point of these systems, compared to just using hot water?

Here in northern Europe, these systems are virtually unheard of. What's quite common, OTOH, are city-wide district heating systems, often run from the waste heat from electric power plants. IIRC the temperature of the heating water mains when going out from the plants is around 110C or so (it's water, not steam, due to it being slightly pressurized [1]). Each house or block then has it's own heat exchanger, used for heating the water that goes to the radiators (which IIRC is kept above 60C to avoid bacterial growth) as well as producing warm tap water.

[1] Which makes for a nice show when there's a break in the heating mains somewhere; lots of steam coming out of the ground.
I think the key term here is sealed room.

And this does not invalidate the study, only helps evaluate the results in context of applying at home or office. I.e. it's still gonna help, but unless you restrict your airflow, not as much as you'd like.

Though the same caveat probably applies to all air purifiers too.

> Federer’s inability to win Grand Slams in the last two years hasn’t been due to physical decline so much as a new mental frailty that emerges at crucial moments. In the jargon of sport, he has been “choking”. This, say the experts, is caused by thinking too much.

That’s the theory behind the article. Federer is 37, Dokovic is 31. Just saying.

What... no. Igniting fusion is easy. Keeping the plasma confined is the hard part due to its immense heat.

>The psychologist Gerd Gigerenzer argues that much of our behaviour is based on deceptively sophisticated rules-of-thumb, or “heuristics”. A robot programmed to chase and catch a ball would need to compute a series of complex differential equations to track the ball’s trajectory. But baseball players do so by instinctively following simple rules: run in the right general direction, and adjust your speed to keep a constant angle between eye and ball

This is why neural nets are so powerful. They're encoding generalized heuristics, likely similar to those humans use.
This was 2012, six years ago, so the difference (ok ratio) was less.

The issue I think is that difficulty and complexity get conflated: in an effort to simplify, they reduce both depth and difficulty, which reduces the total value of the subject. The problem primarily being that this conflation isn’t widely recognized, so usually efforts towards broader reach produces worse outcomes. Even worse, these efforts (stripping difficulty while maintaining depth) often assume their own success, and remove access to the difficult (and deeper) material.

You see this in software as accessible vs power users

Frameworks to simplify web development

Libraries do it gp’s example

Schools do it by simplifying the literature selection/ topic breadth

Etc

Anytime you have management without a minimum “gate”, the issue occurs, because the conflation exists but no one admits it, and with the goal of widespread accessibility, it gets further embedded each iteration.

In other words the quote “if you can’t explain it to a six year old, you don’t understand it” is misread to “if you can’t explain it in six minutes, you don’t understand it”, and then everything gets “simplified” right out of existence
> Really?

Yes.

> GPS and Cellphones are constantly used for life critical services and can be jammed easily but no one is doing that.

They are being jammed. Not as often as idiots playing with lasers though. But for silly things like "my employer put a tracking device on my truck, if I jam signals I can do whatever I want".

> Helicopter pilots being blinded by lasers isn't the same thing as drivers at those altitudes the laser beam has spread sufficiently to while remain dangerous at least not being painful.

Can apparently break havoc on sensors though. And this happens over densely populated areas.

Good luck doing that downtown.
> Does the answer change if you were officially under arrest and had a right to remain silent?

Being formally under arrest doesn't affect whether you have the right to remain silent. It affects whether the police are required to tell you that you do.

The problem is, that the algorithm is path-dependent, deterministic PRNG is most likely already used, and doesn't help.

I don't think they understand that the purpose of cryptocurrencies is to remove the need for trust. Trust in the math, not the banker. AKA the economy should be built off the monetary system rather than the monetary system being built off the economy.

I believe the GDPR allows a company to refuse (or delay) processing your request to delete their data about you if they have a legitimate reason, and being legally obligated to hold onto that data is one of the legitimate reasons. However, GDPR is a big law and I am not a European lawyer (I am neither, in fact), so I'm curious if my understanding is wrong. What section of GDPR are you thinking of and what exceptions does it have?

Nothing. Here’s a photo I took of a kit in a German grocer just outside an U-bahn station, about 4 years ago:

It is surprising that the exact mechanism of this behavior is not known. It must be related to habits. To the microbiome where most of our decisions are made. Would like to know more about how to leave out the conscious mind. I notice that when I'm doing a task on the computer which is interestingly repetitive that requires some dexterity I forget about the passage of time. So one can achieve this state even in daily life that does not require the return of a tennis ball under stress.
Never do any of this. It's not 1990 anymore, we don't copy code from random blog posts to solve problems.
Are they now? Do you have some sort of breakthrough explaining ANN encodings?

Currently the state of the art is some sort of ad hoc correlation between behavior and explanations.

The topological ANN explanation makes their thinking seem vastly different from what logical heuristics would be...

The article details the results of the conflict between religion and state and in that context my reaction is to the point. Stating that a reaction to such an article is analogous to a 'religious and nationalistic and ideological flamewar' is inane, in that case the article itself should not have been posted or the comment function should have been disabled.
Okay so they're not illegal. I wouldn't say "perfectly fine" though... As you point out, it's a temporary situation in the case that they're not being anti-competitive. I would argue that any situation where there is a natural monopoly it should be state run rather than privately run because that situation is, by its very nature, anti-competitive (first in, best dressed!)
It only locks out accessories if the device has been locked for over an hour, so make sure to lock your device at least an hour before getting arrested, or reboot it. Also make sure the option is enabled under passcode settings; I think it's disabled by default.
The main difference between === and Object.is() is that === treats +0 and -0 as equivalent, despite the fact that some math operations treat them differently. I think they added Object.is() because it was awkwardly difficult to make code tell the difference between +0 and -0.

It seems that our logical side evolved to predict behaviors of others since empathy is limited to same species. It is probably the other side of the same circuit...
Similar to how A3C ANNs work, we have a reflective capability to change how and what we're training. "Superego" so to speak. A metric ton of automated systems for learning and action though.
At least two action oriented predictors - logical/heuristic and direct emapthic/sympathetic.

As to not noticing passage of time consciously, it is because conscious though likely it's more energy intensive, so to save it when subconscious processes are sufficient it gets throttled down. Of course this is a "just so" explanation and we do not actually know how exactly this works. Perhaps the consciousness related to sensing time and rhythm gets relegated to something else.
My main laptop is a 2011 X220i, which has been upgraded to 8GB RAM, SSD, 5GHz wifi, USB 3.0 (ExpressCard) and a new 9-cell battery.

I'm running KDE Neon on it right now, and everything worked perfectly from a default install. Before that I was using Linux Mint, and that also worked fine. Sleep+wake and just work, and the sound switches correctly if I plug in a displayport cable or a stereo jack. I get 6-7 hours of battery life, which is expected with an i3 that needs to work a little harder these days.

Both Neon and Mind are based on Ubuntu LTS.

I had a newer T440 briefly, and that had no issues either.

It could also be that the flags are so tangled together that a change to one part of the system can break many other parts that are completely unrelated. Sure you can run a unit test for X, but what about Y? Retesting everything is all you can do when everything is so tangled you can’t predict what a change could effect.
You kind of have to have the server doing the collapse anyway, or clients can cheat by biasing the collapse towards tiles that are beneficial to them in some way.

You can partially work around this by requiring the client to use a server-provided PRNG seed, although even then a kind of aim bot could help the player decide which path to explore to get favourable tiles.

So your best bet to avoid cheating is to do the collapse on the server using a hidden RNG.

Only Gulliver 2 can be attributed to Russians. It had no impact at all.

As far as the Sentinelese are concerned, war is not over. Every time someone visits them, the invasion begins anew.

We can screen potential visitors for a wide range of pathogens, make them wear protective suits, vaccinate the local population, and treat them if they get ill nonetheless. The problem is that they want none of it, so any attempt to vaccinate or treat them will end up being forceful.
