You don't want strings that are "digits..n" to automatically deserialize into bigints. What if you have a string like "8n", which is a tractor model, or "9n", which is a smartphone model?

But it would be nice to have literal 8n to convert to a bigint 8n. That's not in the JSON standard though.
That is also a misleading talking point. Neither Bill Clinton nor the Republicans (who only held both for two years before the balance) can take full credit. As you can see by this graph:

http://stats.areppim.com/ressources/usxbudget_1789x2019_572x...

There was a sharp rise in income around 1994, and at the same time spending flattened (due to lower unemployment/lower safety net costs). The two met in 97, then fell off sharply in 2000.

This exactly mirrors the "Dot-com bubble" period start, middle, and end:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dot-com_bubble

So neither Bill Clinton or the Republicans can really claim credit. This just happened to be a strong period of economic activity that happened to also drive down costs.

Prospective study:transmission of MDROs between sites and hospitalized patients
Yeah, it's a B*tch, wished they'd interop more.

Usually, between the three I can find the things that I want to watch, but it's starting to get absurd with all the subscriptions...
The solution to income inequality probably isn't going to come from governments either sadly.

I regularly get brand new torrents. Maybe you're visiting the wrong proxies.
As a counterpoint I have all my domains on namecheap. I don't use their SSL option because I prefer using let's encrypt.

They charge around $13 for a renewal but include whois anonymization and have awesome customer service, a great web dashboard, and nice security options. Can't ask for more myself, and it will take a lot to make me switch.

Wide open, the lens is less sharp and you are going to have large portions of the image out of perfect focus. At that point there is no point using MF, you might as well use a smaller camera.

My personal experience... I mostly use a 110mm f/2.8 prime, and when I shoot wide open it's beautiful, but at that aperture I'm definitely not getting near the sharpness that the system provides.

Well, for one, neighboring pixels are already being used during demosaicing.

But I understand your question. For an end-user to detect such overt manipulation, you'd probably need to take successive frames with the lens cap on, and observe how the RAW sensor values change over time and find patterns in the noise levels. A pixel thats duplicated will stand out. That's all I have :^) I'll have to think a bunch to understand it at a deeper level...
But in practice, doesn't “affirmative consent” means clicking the big yellow “OK” button below a paragraph of vague weasel words instead of the little white “Configure privacy options” link, or in the case of website operators like Oath, not going three pages deep?
I agree with the other replies that mention the image softness with 100MP sensors, and how hard it can be to achieve image crispness.

That said, I think they are missing the point. This is a 100MP medium-format camera for $US10k. This is markedly cheaper than comparable cameras from other medium format manufacturers. The big question is how the GFX 100 stacks up to the competition in other areas.
This hasn't been my experience at all. It exists through proxies now and torrents are very up to date.
Windows 2000 also existed at that time, was widely used, and was basically straight out of the future. It had:

NTFS 3.0 with file encryption support

Logical disk management for dynamic disks & expansion of a logical partition over multiple physical disks. Without a reformat.

Distributed file systems & hierarchical storage management.

MMC with group policy control, active directory, centralized event viewer for OS & application events, and system service management

Speaking of which, system services were a thing that actually existed and were managed (systemd fighting still continues, so Linux still hasn't "caught up" on this)

Plug & Play ACPI support (technically windows 98 was the first to support this but it was so broken it was a joke - Linux lagged by a few years and didn't really support it until 2.6).

User-mode print drivers

Network QoS

time service with SNTP support
If i'm not mistaken, this is by design for Gothic buildings. I forget what the proper term is, but Gothic architecture exploits dynamic tension really thoroughly. The whole building is fighting against itself to destroy itself, and so remains balanced and static.

Take a component out, and the result is unstable.

This camera doesn't actually take 4 trillion shots a second. It shoots a light, takes a frame, shoots the light, waits a tiny bit longer, takes a frame, and so on.

The phase shift is 1/(4 trillion) sec, but the actual framerate is much much slower.
I don't think that's true at all. We can acknowledge qualitative differences and aims and indeed this "special pleading" is the foundation of all law - we select based on our own conceptions of what is right which laws to make; to say that it is special pleading is to say that laws against those actions which cause harm is special pleading - after all, what's so special about harm? Nevertheless, it is possible to imagine a world in which one restriction (or liberalization) is made but another is not. While this requires a competent legislature and judiciary, there is no reason to think it is impossible; the difficulty in making an analytic distinction is only a small speed bump.

I have an idea for a non-profit that tackles a systemic problem, but the companies you've listed seem hopelessly out of touch with the problems they're trying to tackle.

Promise is mentioned as "tackling mass incarceration", but their company seems geared more towards improving efficiency in criminal justice agencies. Do they really think that an app that sends reminders is going to help failure to appear rates? Crime, recidivism, failure to appear etc are deeply rooted in poverty and hopelessness.

How does a reminders app fight any of those problems? People fail to show up to court because they don't see the point, because they think the system is stacked against them, because they can't afford to take the time off of work, because they can't find child care, or because they don't have transportation. It's ridiculous to suggest that an app that sends reminders of court dates will make an impact on any of these problems. Have you encouraged the people in Promise to talk to experts in this area?

Or is your approach with all of these systemic problems to just make some apps that crunch data and send reminders?

It really does not make me want to apply, given that you are listing a company like this as one of your bright, shining Government 2.0 examples. Not that I would trust a bunch of VC's to tackle income inequality anyway, but it's almost funny how terrible these companies are about missing the mark.
Geez... it must be hard for other payment processors to compete with Github/MSFT's "give away free money" offering. :/ I guess all is fair in love & war (and Uber does the same, losing money to kill competition) but this sort of behaviour sure seems innovation-killing and massively entrenched-big-corp-player-favouring.

This seems to go beyond killing competitors by offering their product for free, because in this case they're actually paying users cash to use their platform.
MRSA Prevalence&Risk Factors in Health-Care Workers in Non-Outbreak Situations
If you want an index on a column (and you probably do if you're going to query over 500 million rows) you have to create it at some point. Creating it after will be more efficient in your case.

So what do you mean "too slow?" How long did it take?

I don't have any experience with Clickhouse, and not much with columnar databases in general, but if we're talking about a simple table with one index over one text column, I'm not sure whether it makes any difference if you store the tuples row-wise or column-wise on disk. It's an index that covers 100% of the data either way.

I don't know anything about your server but it sounds like PostgreSQL just wasn't able to get much IO throughput from your storage system. Things like storage hardware, filesystem type, and kernel parameters are the big factors here.
Why much better? More performance? Is OpenWRT on it a stable Linux with as good package support as I get with Raspbian?

A router probably isn't going to have HDMI on it, which is nice to have in a pinch.

I also use RPis for various GPIO needs.

There's something to be said for having one device that fills a bunch of needs. You get really familiar with that device (and its quirks) and then you can use it in many different contexts.

I have a 110mm f/2.8, it took me several weeks of experience with the lens and camera system before I could confidently get accurate focus. But I think that the shallow DOF is a point in its favor, because if you can get good focus at f/2.8 you're going to get a very sharp image at f/11.
>When non-profits succeed they have to ask for more money.

That's not true at all. I worked for 3 years on a non-profit that funded itself and it received external donations and investments. This is not "either self-funding or external-funding". The whole idea of a nonprofit is that instead of sharing the surplus of revenues between shareholders, leaders or members, it will invest the surplus further into the company development and projects. It has nothing to do with scalability.
not offhand. I really should sit down and examine that in relation to our build pipeline.
I'm okay with people stealing GPL code to look at it with friends over a few beers and popcorn.
There's definitely some room for nuance though.

Government's actions are constrained by a massive aversion to risk. I think in some areas there's definitely opportunity for private companies to provide services cheaper/better than they currently are while still having room for profit.

Also, contracting out to private entities gives people someone to sue (without leaving the taxpayers on the hook) and the government someone to fire (or not renew their contract) when things get F'd up. Compare the options available to the public if the police misbehave vs if private security guards hired by the city/town misbehave.

Government should contract out the things private industry does better and cheaper and in-house things that private industry cannot do. For example, government should give money to organizations that run homeless shelters, not run the shelter itself. If there are local options for getting rid of scrap metal then the government should not be taking appliances as part of city trash pickup.

There's definitely things that government should be doing (like social safety nets) but not everything government does is stuff government should be spending its time and money doing. For the things that government does not do it should act as a check to make sure nothing gets too out of hand, like an operating system managing resources and the software using them.

Yes, I think this is a strong example of: when all you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.

YC cultivates some amazing hammers, but I'm not sure the inefficiencies of government are nails, but rather massive systemic issues stemming from cultural beliefs about what fairness, accountability, and democracy should look like. Is it wasteful to create tons of red tape to prevent fraud, for example? Yes, probably. Is a more efficient system which creates opportunities for corruption a valid trade-off? That's where the real debate lies and there are no easy answers.
It's crazy how much they've grown since then. I've had a handful of their current products around to play with and the quality is pretty top notch. They have a habit of being a bit buggy at first, but they also do years of firmware updates so over time it only gets more impressive.

I use the Studio Neat Canopy case for the Apple Magic Keyboard with my iPad, mostly because 1) I use my iPad as pure tablet a lot of the time, and doing this with the keyboard attached, or removing the keyboard each time, is a pain in the ass, and 2) I like writing with the iPad in portrait mode, but the smart connector doesn’t allow this. I have found that typing on a full-size software keyboard is not so bad (I have a 12.9” iPad, maybe it’s much worse on the smaller ones).

I work most of the time from an iPad and when I can’t, an iMac. My iMac at home though is now mostly just a glorified Plex server.

I don't know that this is all-or-nothing.

The same law that protects people from stealing GPL code also protects movie studios from having their content copied and redistributed without permission. And I wouldn't be at all surprised if some of the GPL family of licenses' restrictions on exactly how you can use GPL software are legally difficult to discern from media companies' efforts to restrict how we are allowed to consume their works.

But there are things that I suspect would be easier to disentangle. I wouldn't mind seeing some sort of provision where copyrighted works can more easily fall into the public domain when they've been abandoned by their copyright holders, for example. We could also stand to roll back some of the power grabs that media companies have managed to get codified.

Canada and Russia becoming new bread baskets is a possible near-term future, but you'll have a lower total amount of incident input energy at those latitudes, meaning that even greater arable land areas will produce significantly less food.
I'm totally in agreement with you here. The issue is that many of the people writing these posts are in the process of learning themselves and don't know what they don't know (Dunning-Kruger effect) and because they skip over a lot of the theoretical details it is very easy to have missteps. Having a decent theoretical basis is absolutely necessary to be anything beyond a hobbyist in ML.
