Recently I was filing my taxes in Chile for the first time and it took about 10 minutes because the tax service already knows most of my activities, including stock purchases via a local broker and dividends from them. I only needed to review the form for correctness and press "send".
How big a VLBI baseline would they need to see much more detail? Are there any plans for a space based VLBI; not easy when you consider the utterly huge amounts of information they have to transfer, a radio telescope in a L5 would be a start.

Also I'd be interested to read how they got around scintallation of the Interstellar Medium.
You want to ditch shared libraries and mmap to map your big processes using GB pages to make fork fast again (despite it not being the main and only drawback)???

OS research might be relevant, and it's good that some people have wild idea, but honestly I doubt this one will go anywhere :P
I actually started using orgmode completely outside of Emacs.

The beginning workflow was VS Code, and I certainly appreciate your note about the partially implemented featureset of most orgmode non-Emacs clients.

I then discovered Orgzly (http://www.orgzly.com/) which I hooked up to VS Code using Drop Box free. Orgzly is fantastic and supports a lot more of orgmode than most clients. (edited to add: orgzly is an android app)

Now, however, I've dropped VS Code in favour of Emacs running on either Windows 10 or OS X terminals. There's a decent cheat sheet (https://orgmode.org/orgcard.pdf) that I refer to a lot.

So my advice would be to give orgmode a try using Orgzly at first, then get a simple instance of Emacs going and use the cheat sheet to make things easier to learn and dip into. I think the push to try to do things outside of Emacs is throwing away the orgmode original codebase baby with the Emacs bathwater. I know Emacs is considered scarier even than vim, but for my simple use case it works well. It was even fairly easy to get the org-jira plugin working to pull my Jira tickets into TODO items.

I see Robot Farmers still a nice try but not a feasible solution. There are many aspects which are still difficult (e.g. Olives, general Trees with Fruits).

It's the same as for self-driving cars: on daylight and clear condition, they work fine, but in case of snow and in the darkness...well, no

Besides inherent meaning in the work itself (like zookeeping) I think the information economy is just structurally stressful... when you look decades ahead.

Career progression can feel like an up-or-out pyramid. Many devs feel (rightly or wrongly) like they need to progress to super-dev or manager by 35, because who's going to hire a 40 to engineer, especially when the tech stack/tools get a reset every 5 years.

..and devs have it good, ATM. High demand, at least some respect for experience. Who's hiring a 49 year old social media ambassador? Will the arcane understanding of azure enterprise pricing and configuration that keeps you employed today get you employed in 2025? How about agile expertise?

I think people look at their jobs, and just can't see a safe path to retirement at 66. The job, or the company won't exist by then.

It's stressful.

My grandad was a farmer and builder. His father and brothers were farmer-tradesmen too. By 30 he had acquired some land, stock, a light truck and tools for the contracting business. He raised cattle and built houses until retirement (when he traded building for running a BnB, and still farmed a little).

The point is that people expected their career to have long term legs. A lot of the new information economy feels very fleeting, by comparison.

Meanwhile most of us have fathers, aunts or whatnot that found themselves unemployed in their 50s after a promising-seeming 40s. Travel agents when Expedia happened. Programmers when the dot-com bust happened... real estators when that happened, Greek civil servants when Greece went bust...

It's the color scheme. I think in matplotlib it's called "hot". I do a lot of 2D kernel density plots that by having a black zero level and dozens of contour levels produce a smooth look with aesthetics similarities to this. I used to use that scheme because "heatmaps" but stopped because of the pulsing illusion.

I'm not sure if this image is real color or just lightness value and they used a color scheme for drama.
'We've now seen the unseeable': Black hole photographed for the first time
Has anyone here graduated from this program? I'm curious about the instruction quality and career prospects in comparison to in-person programs from similarly prestigious schools.
Yeah. Last summer I went to the Empire State Building in New York city and two things struck me. First was the quality of the work and second was the recognition paid to those responsible for that quality.

On the observation floor they have these plaques that display lists of recognized tradesmen who built the damn thing. I was almost moved to tears looking at those lists and realizing what these people had done in a years time.

And if you happen to be in the lineage of those builders... Imagine being able to take your children to that place, point at those lists and say; look there, your great grand father helped make this building.

India is the land of fertility, since time immemorial. Any business in India is bound to succeed in India & that only increases with time. It is not just fertility, but spirituality in India (as opposed to the fake spirituality in the rest of the world) that aids in success in India. Most people, including Indians are ignorant to these facts & want to destroy India & what it stands for. What a pity!
"High res"
For most people the state gets paid every payday from automatic employer withholdings. If your withholdings are much lower than the obligation then you may pay interest penalties. So it’s not really necessary from a cash flow perspective but still would be much more efficient.

It could be in the process of regularizing. There's no particular reason why "it's" can't be both things. Language changes.

One I've witnessed in my lifetime is "different than" vs. "different to". I was taught the first one. The latter sounds wrong to me, which is why I notice I'm hearing it more and more. (Note I have phrased this subjectively; I'm not saying it is wrong. I'm generally a descriptive grammarian. But it does sound wrong to me.) It may be a dialect thing, in which case my dialect seems to be shifting. Languages change.

Not transformative or not transformative in isolation?
At one time I was contracting at a place where every process was broken, from IT to management to testing. It wasn't really a place that attracted talented developers. There were a some developers that were talented and a lot which were mediocre or had given up along the way. Development progressed at the pace of syrup. They paid on time, though.

Anyway, being a professional, I put in my hours and did my best to contribute until the contract ran out. But I also stuck a post-it note to the bottom of my screen with my all-time favourite Polish phrase: "Nie mój cyrk, nie moje małpy". Literally: "Not my circus, not my monkeys.". I.e. the inherent brokenness wasn't my problem to fix.

The argument that because encryption can be used for nefarious purposes it should not be offered by DNS providers at all does not add up. ISPs can block, redirect and sell DNS traffic and many are already doing some or all of these.
What are you basing that on? (Edit:) From one of the papers released today:

> The ring is brighter in the south than the north. This can be explained by a combination of motion in the source and Doppler beaming. As a simple example we consider a luminous, optically thin ring... Then the approaching side of the ring is Doppler boosted, and the receding side is Doppler dimmed...This sense of rotation is consistent with the sense of rotation in ionized gas at arcsecond scales ..Notice that the asymmetry of the ring is consistent with the asymmetry inferred from 43 GHz observations of the brightness ratio between the north and south sides of the jet and counter-jet

(Edit 2:) Ahh, I see your comment now says "did come out". I initially read it as "did not come out", which was either a misreading on my part (likely) or an earlier edit by you.
Still no explanation on why dns-over-https rather than the already widespread dnscrypt or the lesser known dnscurve, dns-over-quic, and dns-over-tor.
If I recall this correctly, the movie intentionally simplified the rendering of the black hole (by eliminating the Doppler shift) to make it more visually appealing.

Pity, really. Then again, there were other things that made no sense in the movie...
Some time ago I've seen a picture over the Internet where the description said the more you see it "moving" the more likely you're stressed.

As for the black hole, looking it at full screen I see it pulsating a little.
In the discussions they said that it appeared entirely consistent with GR. Presumably more specific analysis is in papers coming afterwards.
It would show that a restart is required after installing. So I can see your point that it doesn’t signal to the user before installing that a restart would be required.

Without a doubt, DNS-over-HTTPS introduces some major concerns from a network operator and security perspective. But I'm also very privacy focused, and am conflicted on the issue.

>[Mozilla] believe that they need to build technology that will accommodate a hostile network operator who is going to replace your DNS with things pointing to their advertising servers or is going to monitor what you do and send it off to some human rights violation team somewhere and so rather than tell you to use VPNs or tell you to use tor they decided to build DNS into the web

Requiring the average Joe to use a VPN service just so they can have some reasonable attempt at privacy isn't really an option, as we have seen. Privacy shouldn't be a luxury reserved only for those who can afford it. What I would really like to see is our lawmakers step up and make modern privacy laws with respect to technology and the data that results of it, but that clearly isn't happening. Unfortunately, DNS-over-HTTPS will very likely be used against the consumer in the long-run. Instead of using a pi-hole with port 53 blocked, I can see many devices will start using DNS-over-HTTPS to bypass those restrictions. Chromecast, rokus, and other devices already have hard-coded DNS addresses built-in, it won't be a very large step for them to switch to DNS-over-HTTPS to bypass my own network policies.

Does it also bother you that a lot of people tend to say "amount of people" instead of "number of people"? I think of cannibals talking about their food whenever someone says "amount of people".
Yes I believe in the mantra as well however you will hardly convince me this applies to a frame and lens. Yes it may be less time consuming for the purchaser to just grab a entire new pair off the shelf but someone had to dig out the ore to get to the metal to and someone drill out gas to move the ore around and so forth you get the point. As we know global climate change is real, and I have children who I leave this earth, surely on a global scale, me replacing the glass in a frame is less wasteful for everyone's time. But I only reply because you said 'human time' vs something like 'if it saves my time'. Most of what we consider to saves our personal time is at a considerable cost to the environment, and other peoples time. We destroy the environment so my kids can spend their time cleaning it up in the future. What a screwy way to live.

> Without the painful transparency, it becomes too easy for the government to nearly invisibly turn up the tax rate on individuals to pay for whatever boondoggle or foreign war they see fit.

Non-sequitur. Taxes are already seen on every pay stub and tax return. Even if taxes weren't explicitly state, simply having less money is painfully transparent.
Even without unknowns people elevating rationality to something that would in consequence just be horrible for everyone. Shouldn't be too hard to see if you follow through with the consideration.

Hard data also suggest how often the allegedly rational result suddenly became wrong. The rational conclusion here should be to decrease hubris then, shouldn't it? Nope...

And this is already a stereotype for softies...
You could make a similar meaningless argument about electronic engineers. Most just solder together ICs, and the IC designers mostly glue together IP blocks. They pay utility companies to provide electricity.

To work at a lower level doesn't mean you're a more advanced engineer, in some ways it means the opposite; working at a higher level usually requires some understanding of what's below.
DoH has already more adoption than all previous approaches combined. (Note: I don't think DNS-over-QUIC is really any different from DoH. QUIC is just another way of transmitting HTTPS, so you can just do DoH over QUIC.)

Who are you arguing against? I never suggested anything of the sort.

Some things lend themselves very well to for-profit businesses. Others do not. Firefighting and filing your taxes to the government strike me as two things the government can probably handle better than capitalists.

- Filling stations on the autoroutes have the charging points (at least in Romandy)

- The country is small so, hey, it seems ideal

I'd like to get one but it doesn't fit my use case (namely long road trips in the summer).

Not sure how it works in US universities, but in European universities degrees usually requires one to have written a master's or bachelor's thesis. These are what really sets apart the excellent from the merely good or average students. It is the hardest part of the curriculum since the students have to plan their work themselves and work independently for half a year. Online degrees without reviewed theses (sp?) will always fall short in comparison.

Agree with you. Disagree with article. Reformed thinking says that God created work, and thus work is good and it is intended to fulfill humanity. However, work, money, status, career progression, are idols. Two laws since the resurrection: love God, love your neighbor. You can love God by working, but it is not the only means and work for work's sake should not be loved or exalted.
General relativity predicted the event horizon, but it breaks down when trying to predict what is going on in the center, as all equations go to infinity, which is likely to be more a problem with our current understanding than what is actually happening.

Not graduated yet, I'm about at 40%. So far it's very interesting and well done from an educational point of view. There're some rough points still - you can see the classes were originally taught at the brick-and-mortar university and they have been "ported" to online, plus sometimes there're some glitches between different systems being employed, but the overall quality is astonishing, especially for the price.

Probably an in-person MSc will be a bit better than OMSCS, but it will cost 7x-8x and would require people to move around the country.
