Quite similar to some autobody work, except the metal is much softer and thinner.

It's interesting that a lot of people would be surprised at just how fragile a brass instrument is, given that the things they usually have experience with which are made of brass are much stronger --- plumbing, doorknobs, etc; you really have to experience one in person to feel the thinness of the material (and they're already pretty heavy, which makes them even more fragile.)
That is the end result but I doubt it's intentional, probably in an effort to try to get clicks (and therefore ad impressions) they write stories people are interested in reading, and people are interested in things that fit the narrative.

But then again there are some fun Hearst quotes about being able to spin anything he wanted so who knows.
Any material I guess. There's really no return-ability in our container systems at all right now so it's an open question.

It's so funny you say this because this was my introduction to modding and programming as well, except with Red Alert 2. I remember changing the cost of the items, adding new units, replacing the graphics, etc.

Depends on what impact to consider real world. Bunch of people managed to transfer money from their countries abroad using bitcoin. Lots of papers were written studying blockchains. Some financial and other organizations considered and, I believe, at some point deployed systems modeled on Bitcoin technology. Maybe that's not enough to consider it "real world impact", but I suspect more than one person's life was noticeably affected by using Bitcoins.
Sony Sped Up a Factory with These Tiny, $35 Computers
I don't think this is from 2018; the contents are mostly unchanged since 2014 [1].

Even though it's a bit dated, memorymanagement.org is one of my favorite resources. It's opinionated, in a good way. The techniques that were developed in the 2000s, which this site thoroughly covers, are still the state of the art for garbage collection in my opinion.

10+ year emeritus DD here -- Honestly I think "modern" dev culture is quite different from the core of he Debian community and this is both a strength and weakness. I can't say that I want Debian to look anything like the node ecosystem.
Thanks, I appreciate the correction.

> Why do people think that this cheesy phrase makes any difference for a giant corporation?

Speaking for myself. I thought it made a difference as part of the charter, with the expectation that overtly evil behavior can be punished eith real teeth (shareholder lawsuits for violating the charter)
Maybe, and capsule designers considered it. I guess reliability issues dictated dead simple solutions, which lack in landing precision but excel in ensuring survivability?

KlassNe Jopa!!!

and some things like that but no much Cirillic yeah but learn like learn Traditional Chinese characters too as the people of Japan and the people of Korea and the people of Hong Kong and the people of Taiwan and the people of All China and VIetnam and Even in Malasya and the people of Cingapur and yeah I learn traditional characters too

and I dont want to learn fucking greek old letterts because im lazy yeah yeah yeah

Do you feel any concern when the owner keeps changing? I think that's part of the reason people keeping a distance.

Thanks man! I have not read the book yet, my synth education has basically been a ton of googling, the synthdiy and synthesizer subreddits, muff wiggler, and all the awesome old school websites like mfos, birth of a synth, ken smith's designs, etc. I always knew of electronic music production and had some friends who are super into the DAW way of doing things, but I had no clue the level the hobby/eurorack scene was at.
> _it's wrong to hold Americans to a different standard than you would people from whatever country you're from_

You have a point. The culture I grew up in has its own share of terrible things that _I didn't even notice_ until I traveled and lived in other countries. Which is why I critique much of my own culture as much as I'll critique parts of american culture.

Having lived in other countries I not only wouldn't be able to go back (because I find some pervasive things of the culture repulsive and unlikely to change any time soon), but it has also made it easier to notice the cliched patterns of hatred towards the "other", the same things that are said of mexicans in the US are said of the polish in the UK, people from some arab countries in France, the turks in The Netherlands (although they are far more "polite" about it), etc.

> _ If there were people going around trying to remove "Eid Mubarak" from the public discourse, there would be a total shit storm. 90% of Americans celebrate Christmas--tolerance for immigrants does not mean that people don't get to publicly celebrate their own culture, their religious traditions, etc._

Sure, there are plenty of sensitive subjects that can put you in the bad side of a culture, but the "Merry Christmas" crowd is the same as "Guns, God & Country" crowd which is in many occasions the "racism doesn't exist" crowd. I used that sign as an example because it's the one I remembered the most vividly, but it wasn't the _only_ sign.
The post speaks about go not having a thriving ecosystem of packages. My view is that there are actually a lot of Go packages out there but certainly go’s indifference to packages and the fact it is just now getting an “official” package capability (RIP dep) has contributed to slower growth of the ecosystem. NPM has had many many growing pains but I sure do love the ease of use and discoverability of packages. I sincerely hope go catches up. I love the language and tooling.
The very first program I wrote that did something useful was a naive runescape autominer using SCAR and pascal.
At Twitter in the early days it was janky/jankiest. “Jankest” is also new to me.

The opposite of janky was prostyle. There was no middle ground.
Your product should already have an "existing" market who hacked something together.

Something social might have a dedicated forum, subreddit, FB group. A game might have a similar mod in another game. A web tool might be in the form of a spreadsheet somewhere.

Find out where those early adopters are and tell them about your product. You should try to charge them as early as possible, as high as possible. The early target market is often willing to pay the most. Lower your price later and reward those early adopters afterwards.
I’m surprised and sad that that’s still the case. I was the creator and maintainer for an open source application some 10+ years ago, and figuring out how to package it properly for Debian was essentially impossible.

It eventually got packaged by someone who had been involved in the Debian community for some time.
I think you have to reliably prove that it's your ballot and that it wasn't tampered with after the photo. Halter Voters would sometimes include a specific marking on the ballot that confirmed it was a succesfully bought vote so people could be personally rewarded accordingly.
Best part about electric blowers is you can use them inside safely. I love using my ego leaf blower for spring cleaning the wardrobes, and it’s a brilliant way to shift all the mess and crud from under your car seats.

Love my Ego tools. Bought the mower because I wanted to be able to stow it vertically for space.
Someone was proposing a sleeve valve design to fix the weight problem, but that was years back (when blowers first hit the level of nuisance), so I’m assuming that didn’t pan out...
HAAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAH thank you so much for this, it was exactly what I was looking for... truly the empirical evidence we need.

It's actually a great resource. The glossary covers all these issues, except for Rust, which the site content predates. It tends to use more academic terminology instead of the current industry terminology, but the academic terminology is often more precise anyway. Yes, it's opinionated in favor of GC, but that's a perfectly defensible position (which may sound odd coming from me as a Rust developer, but I actually like GC in many—just not all—circumstances).

RAII is covered under "smart pointer": https://www.memorymanagement.org/glossary/s.html#term-smart-...

Well, you can do those things in Ruby, you can do them in Javascript, you can even do them in Python. Is there a high-level "interpretable" language that takes a hard line on this, or is it just a standard we're retrofitting onto Javascript?
No, the 80% simply refers to responses to the question "political correctness is a problem in our country".
It's different in SF. The homeless are much more "in your face" than in any other city I've been to by a long shot e.g. in NYC the homeless mostly keep to themselves and aren't very aggressive in my experience. In SF they are very aggressive, many with mental issues, talking to themselves or yelling at others, and appear to be on drugs. I've never visited a city where they are so many homeless who are simply passed out in the middle of the sidewalk on the hard ground with people in suits stepping over them downtown. It's also more "visible" because services that cater to homeless are all located downtown.

I live in Castro, but obviously like many spend a lot of time downtown for work.

Sure, there are families in the outer neighborhoods, but it's different in the sense that those are mostly families that have lived in SF for generations. Good luck trying to raise a family as a newcomer on the reported median household income for SF of ~$78k.
Wait, he is still alive, isn't he?
Nothing perturbs me more than the whole plastic problem we have.

China and India's plastic and garbage pollution is one thing, but Japan is the place that irks me the most when it comes to plastic use.

I bought bananas that were wrapped in plastic (go figure, right? ) And what did the cashier do? She wrapped it in more plastic! THEN she gave me a plastic bag to put it in!

That blew my mind. Like, why? Just _why_?

Go to any supermarket in Japan and you'll see fruit and vegetables wrapped in plastic for no good reason at all. It's one of the reasons I typically buy my produce from the local farmers instead of the market now.

I mean, why would you _individually_ _wrap_ oranges?
I don't think jemalloc uses any buddy allocators. It's a segregated free list allocator, like most C mallocs and tenured generation allocators.
Online voting seems like such a bad idea to me. If people want convenience couldn't voting by post be a good compromise? Sure you still have to bring your letter to the post office but that's a more mild inconvenience and it seems more secure than e or i voting.
My feeling is that there's a good ecosystem in most areas, but that go discourages you pretty hard from producing collection types of your own, so it's particularly underdeveloped in this area.
If you want to build a really cheap drone that can actually do autonomous GPS-guided stuff, the Kakute F7 can be flashed with Arducopter (Arudpilot), and is $49 with a power distribution board. Mostly intended for small racing drones, but can be used for other purposes.

https://www.getfpv.com/holybro-kakute-f7-aio-flight-controll...

https://shop.holybro.com/c/kakute-f7_0486

Or you can get the version that combines a four motor ESC in a stack with the version of the Kakute F7 that doesn't have a built in PDB (power distribution board), for under $120.

other parts needed to complete something: motors, propellers, frame, battery, video tx (for something like 5.8 GHz band goggles), RC receiver, wiring, ublox m8n GPS receiver.

want a cheap frame? It'll be heavier than ordering a $45 carbon fiber frame from banggood or gearbest or aliexpress or such, but you can 3d print one at the cost of maybe half of a spool of $18 PLA filament:

Yep, NLP. As a grad student in comp linguistics, I was surprised to find out that financial news was an enourmous application space for NLP, for exactly this sort of reason. Including the automation of content creation. Much financial news isn't written by a human, and hasn't been for a long while. It's too slow. Faster content creation equals faster actionable data equals huge advantage.

Not just sorting, but contamination.

People have to care about those people, and have to believe in that reality instead of a pleasing fantasy, and they have to believe it will happen soon enough to matter to them. It turns out that a lot of corporate execs either believe in a fantasy (tech will save us), don’t give a shit if they make their money (lovely fallout shelters in NZ), or even see opportunities in a few thousand megadeaths.

Yes it’s so odd! The cultural attitude is all about presentation, sometimes to the detriment of practicality.

Environment be damned and let’s get it out of sight once it is ugly.

If there was any country to lead a full on plastic bag ban you would think it would be Japan just given the heavy reliance on imports.
It’s prioritized and in the queue...
Wrong diversity. All of these places are industry towns. SF is tech, LA movies, Miami tourism and trade, Texas energy and chemicals, NYC Wall St and media.

You wouldn’t start the next big startup in Houston, because who will leave a fat gig at the oil company? NYC is a little different because it’s historically more diverse from a business POV. SF is different because tech spans industries.
The amount of work spent straightening straight brass tubing seems excessive. You'd think they'd just replace the straight parts, and consider them consumables, like strings.
I think the author describes it well, and makes quite clear that he is using Yascha Mounck's definition from a recent article in the Atlantic: "What people mean by “political correctness.” … [is] their day-to-day ability to express themselves: They worry that a lack of familiarity with a topic, or an unthinking word choice, could lead to serious social sanctions for them. (quotes, ellipses and brackets in original)

He then links to the full piece that contains this definition: https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2018/10/large-majo....

To write an article about this concept, he needs some short phrase. My guess was that the issue you had with the article was not a lack of clarity, rather a lack of charity. Like "Social Justice Warrior", or "cultural Marxism", or other terms that people use predominately to refer to ideologies they disagree with, calling it "political correctness" makes it hard to to have a productive discussion with anyone who doesn't already agree. As someone who seems to take offense to the current phrase, I was hoping you might be able to suggest a less offensive alternative that would be equally clear.

Front running has not always been illegal, front-running if you have a fiduciary duty to clients has always been illegal, and many forms of front running are still legal today.

Nowhere did I imply that arbitrage is illegal and latency arbitrage is a big driver of revenue for several hedge funds, especially those which track baskets against their components.

There isn't anything shady about dark pools, except that there is little public information about the trades which take place within them, they are sparsely regulated, and you have even less insight into your counter parties than you do on open exchanges. And my response referencing dark pools was a response to your comment about execution services.
Holy shit.

That gave me a much better sense of scale than hearing "a trade takes 200ns" or whatever. The engineering that goes into making this possible must be just insane.
The person who ran Open Vendor Database also did provided some security assistance / pentesting to Silk Road, as far as I could tell this person was quite competent.
I'd say the mention of "hatchets" certainly fits with Rogers' era rules, and the lack of reference to a specific firearm I suspect is due partially to the fact that American forces of Rogers' time often had an ensemble of firearms that were both personal as well as issued by an authority.

That and the fact that he was intentionally setting rules for tactical and operational behaviors that are necessarily abstract.
> In my opinion, most Debian's issues stem from a centralized imperative package manager where all packages need to be carefully kept in sync for things to work.

Hmm, in my opinion, this is good thing, not an issue needs to be solved.
All of the usual suggestions are too small, IMO, except Seattle (4M) which is already expensive and facing similar problems to the Bay. Austin (2M), Raleigh-Durham (2M), Denver (3M), Portland (2.5M) are not suited to compete with the Bay (8M). Baltimore-Washington (9M), Boston (7M), New York (20ishM) and San Diego (3.5M) are already very expensive. Climate isn't king, but Phoenix (4.5M) and Minneapolis (3.5M) are too uncomfortable for most people. That leaves Chicago (9.5M), Dallas (7M), Detroit (4M), Houston (6.5M) and Atlanta (6M), of which the first and last have a more mature tech sector, denser urban geography and better public transit (Atlanta's transit ridership is five times Houston's). Of the two, Chicago has much better infrastructure, but Atlanta has much nicer weather. Both are far too small currently to pose a threat to California's dominance, so I wouldn't expect to see any changes any time soon.
It lost effectiveness after a few months for me. On top of that, it gives me very restless legs, to the point that it can actually be harder to fall asleep :/
Yea, by default anyways, but that doesn’t mean you need to use/trust them for a particular request. I’m talking mostly about service-to-service traffic fwiw, not browsers.
As it happens I have looked at these statistics as I am working at a startup in the elder care space. The fact is it’s overwhelmingly the females of the next generation who do this work, regardless of whether they have a job outside the home, and surveys report significant dissatisfaction and resentment with that state of affairs. “I don’t see how this is dragging gender wars in”

Increased automation will allow a significant number to “just” do the fun parts — no bedpan or nappy changing.
I am skeptical of the idea that it is all about the profits of the packaging industry. All the revenues they make is from costs for other, more powerful, industries that would not mind cutting down on packaging costs.

In the end that is really just about giving the good incentives. India blocking waste imports is a good way. Countries blocking waste exports or forcing actual, effective and demonstrable recycling may be another.

I'd imagine so... I don't see someone taking 15 weeks a year sticking around long, unless they're a bought out CEO just sitting around to vesting and leading their team when needed, or they're a level 10 developer that is 1 in a million and can't be replaced.
I picked up an 80v leaf blower, and it's a bit unbalanced but definitely not too heavy to use. It's definitely been one of my happier purchases as far as lawn and yard tools go.
Why not just leave it? If you can drive through it, it's fine. I love it when there's a solid base layer of snow or ice. The roads and yard don't turn into slush every time the sun comes out, and shoveling is easier when I don't have to be careful about picking up a load of gravel with the snow. The first big snowfall is always the worst for this reason.
