Mechanical linkage for multiple direct drive external combustion engines that can operate at 0 rpm is far simpler (the drive axles are basically the crankshaft) than for a single internal combustion engine that must maintain a minimum engine rpm and has to be geared down to axles that are riding on a bogie that pivots separate from the deck of the engine.

To take advantage of the increased efficient of an internal combustion engine you'd need a lot of mechanical complexity unless you go hydraulic (solidly defeating most efficiency improvements) or electric.

Depends on both degrees of informed and capabilities of the investigator.

It can literally be a full time job however. If you can truly keep up with world news and details with the best essentially any intelligence agency (or large financial institution) would gladly take you on board for a good rate doing perfectly honest and legal work just from being able to piece it all together and make the proper inferences and connections.

Informed or not isn't a binary but a dizzying collection of them that can wind up ironically mixed with things like DNA pioneers pushing megadosing crankery.
Byte ordering issues are easily addressed by still emitting text, but not converting to a base that differs in a prime factor. Just emit the mantissa and exponent in – say – hexadecimal form and the negative sign bit as a `-`. It avoids all the endianes issues and is trivially converted.

> Arguably there already is a global dollar-denominated credit market, it's just highly intermediated.

Correct. However, the fact that the Federal Reserve can underbid everyone (with regards to interest) on short term credit causes a destabilization of interest rates (which is why they've been falling for the past ~40 years). There's no point in saving dollars when you can't protest against a too-low rate of interest -- a bank can always tap into the Fed's credit and underbid you. This can't happen with non-centrally produced money.

So the "killer app" here is money for which no central party can control the interest/discount rate.

> How does the economics of this work - you're claiming lower risk and higher return, but cryptocurrency does nothing to help with default risk?

I'm not claiming lower risk. I'm claiming a higher return by not competing with a party (the Fed) that can always underbid you on short-term credit.

The low risk comes from financing consumer goods in high demand sitting on the shelves of retail stores (ie. Bills of Exchange). Unless people suddenly stop eating food, you ought to get your money back (plus the prevailing discount rate).

" I understand you don't want to see ads. "

That's not what this post is about, and not what most people here care about. I'm not attacking you here, but if you think that's what we're saying "Sucks", then you're really missing the point. Sure, we don't really want to SEE ads, but they're everywhere, and they're just part of life. Most of us just ignore them.

We absolutely positively do not want to be followed around by any number of AdTech companies profiling us and selling what we do and buy. Leaking all that to all the places it gets leaked. Trading our lives and what we do with others, all so someone can show us a "better" ad in the hopes we'll pay attention.

Show us an ad, fine, we can ignore it. Stop profiling everything single we do and not giving us any realistic way to opt-out. We have no idea who has all this and what will be done with it, and there's nothing we can do. All is the name of showing us a better ad.
My family's software company published a product called "Game Builder" in the early-mid 90s that could be used to create adventure games. Here's a listing of it from 1999: https://web.archive.org/web/19990224063815/http://www.mvpsof...

Ha: "In our testing, children as young as eight years old could easily write games with Game Builder Lite..." I'm guessing that would have been me in 1992.

Care to unpack that for me? Are you arguing for a "God", or a Prime Mover? I think they are very distinct - people attribute certain anthropomorphized qualities to a "God". I don't find an argument that there must being a prime mover particularly compelling, and if there were such a thing, I would very much doubt that it would represent any sort of deity as we define it - if anything I'd expect it to be energy and chaos. I'd just like to know which side of this argument you're going with.
There are no concrete plans. It's not clear to me what this would entitle.
I started taking magnesium supplements about 9 months ago, not for any depression issues, but more for muscle issues. I had a weird leg muscle injury a few years ago that I never really got a proper diagnosis for that happened when doing some light hiking. In doing my own research on that, a condition similar to my symptoms came up, and one of the causes was a magnesium deficiency. I had a few other minor ailments come up, and I have been biking to work for the last few years, and noticed that my recovery time is significantly longer. All of these things cited magnesium as a significant player, so I bought some supplements.

Anyway, I take about 200mg a day, for about the last 6 months or so, and I can not say I have felt any noticeable improvement. This is obviously just a single data point, but even with some specific symptoms that pointed to an Mg deficiency, I didn't see an improvement. If you feel this is some type of magic solution, you should temper your expectations.

I like the story. What about product development though? If you come up to athletes, head coches and parents in track events with an average shoe, I don't think this would have worked. I'd love to hear the story how he developed a superior product.

Or is it that in 1964, there was no real track shoe at all.
Looks like a great library. Not sure I actually knew about it. I will probably update the double-conversion library README to add a link.

Internally it uses the same algorithm, Grisu, (with some additional optimizations) so there shouldn't be any difference in output.

If it's easier to use for you, just go with it!

I'm guessing the double-conversion library is a bit more flexible, but I could be wrong.

We need to fix this issue. This data and these tracking methods will be used to hurt people in the future. It's imperative we fix these issues
I don't think ads are evil. I am used to the compromise of society the afford. I do think the trackers and building databases of user profiles is evil- the strive for relevance should be in the other direction. "Dumb" ads on websites that talk about content I'm interested in actually works. I've bought stuff from those ads. Following me around the internet to remind me of something I've already made a decision about is the wrong way to go.

I think a lot of us here have played the ad game with Google, realize it's optimized to help G, not us, and call bullshit.

Nevertheless, the industry touts its success but a lot of us think it's smoke and mirrors- basically, the ads only help with branding, which does not require such deep tracking.

We think you guys know it too, but keep insisting on tracking.

That makes us very suspicious: what are you doing with the data if it's not effective at getting me to buy something? And exactly how much do you know about me?

So, in the eyes of many, the tracking ad industry has about as much chance of convincing us it's morally fit as Trump does.
I'm not sure he's really talking about actually having to see ads with his post. I know I don't particularly mind, companies kind of have to do it to some extent. It's the invasion of privacy that now goes with it that is being highlighted as a problem here.

A component of CBTi is sleep restriction, whereby you limit your hours in bed and wake at the same time every day. By both anchoring your circadian rhythm to that waking time and building sleep drive at night you can reduce sleep onset latency, and maintenance issues throughout the night.

If you spend 8h total, you can dial back to 7, or as low as 6, on a temporary basis. Once your sleep restructures itself (which doesn't actually take that long), you can increase your total time in bed back to 8.

Even sleep therapy apps are pretty useless as they just regurgitate what ought to be freely available information.
Actually, the packaging format and tooling is only a very small part of the time spent by the people contributing to the distribution. Go read debian-devel - only a very few people are involved in those things.

As far as I can tell, almost all the time is spent polishing and integrating packages and fixing temporary regressions, that sort of thing.

RedHat and Debian have different standards for various aspects of the package contents, so you can't just use a package from one and expect it to work on the other, even if the package format and install tool was the same.

For Flatpak the updates are automatic, at least on the version I'm using with Debian Buster.

In my opinion they care enough about vulnerabilities (but I would say it depends on the packager), currently the Flatpak Evince doesn't have support for PS files (so for now only PDF) for security reasons (I don't recall the details, it's about the Ghostscript interpreter, there's an open issue on the BTS).

One ad is not a problem. Constant bombardment of ads telling people that they are inadequate without a product is emotional abuse on, literally, an industrial scale. And when people try to escape it, the practices in TFA make the whole scenario worse. Not only can you not escape it, but it's obvious that ads are being crafted to get into our individual brains and abuse us in the most effective manner possible.

How big of an AI model?

By my figuring, a car uses about a thousand gigajoules, or $20,000 worth of gasoline, over its lifetime, American gas prices. Depending on where you buy your electricity, that comes out to 10 to 20 grand's worth of power (gasoline is relatively expensive per joule). So this figure implies that training an AI model costs 100 grand in electricity. Is that right?

Because I thought "training an AI model" was more of a "1 week on a single GPU" kind of thing.

Some thoughts:

1) if the employer thinks DevOps is all about knowing how docker and k8s work, it's not a DevOps role (which doesn't actually exist by the way). a lot of employers think DevOps means "sysadmin in the cloud that can follow an sdlc", so you have to ask lots of questions to find out just wtf they're actually looking for.

2) if they ask stupid questions and generally don't seem invested in finding the right candidate, it was a crap job and you dodged a bullet.

I mentioned the anecdote because it's the one case I personally experienced where the police actually got active on an issue, and nothing came of it. I know plenty of people whose behavior looks like it'd be policed (censorship circumvention is endemic, discussing events that reflect negatively on the government is common, some openly advocate e.g. for gay rights) but there's no indication the police are even aware of them.

I don't deny that e.g. forming an organization directly challenging the CCP's leadership would get you into deep trouble, but most activity below that threshold appears to go unpoliced. Even the currently ongoing student protest at Beijing Normal University's Zhuhai branch doesn't seem to have met any police resistance so far.
Of course it tasted good! Those food additive and chemical plants in NJ can do wonders to stale, ammonia-washed meats to trick our brains into thinking what we are eating tastes good!

YES! Side projects are the best way to demonstrate you know what you know.

1) YES! A million times YES! When recruiting people I don't care about their degree I know how academia works I know its all talk no walk, I want proof and a public repo is the best way to do that.

2) When searching for jobs search your skills (php / javascript) not a job title.

Your biggest selling point is that you are a self starter. If there is something you don't know you will just learn it, while the academics sit on their ass waiting for some one to show them. Its hard to understate how much of a massive advantage this is, especially to business minded people.

3) Yes

Your biggest obstacle will be self doubt or over confidence, don't bull shit if there is something you don't know just stick to your winning attitude.
I find the writing style on the site and in the docs to be extremely verbose. My kingdom for some up-front concrete data examples without having to wade through an essay.
Acceptance of payment mechanism is the other difference. Debit and credit cards aren't accepted as widely as cash or Octopus in HK.

Funnily enough, if you go to the more hipster parts of London, cash isn't accepted and you need a debit or credit card to pay in an increasingly large number of stores. Anecdotally, food trucks and markets often will prefer cards over cash (I ask which they prefer if I can do either) in London, while in HK I'll attempt to pay for everything by card first, and unless it's an upscale restaurant, I'll usually be rejected and get told cash/octopus only.

I also don't think you get contactless with prepaid cards. There's the whole up to 3x £30 guarantee / fraud angle that can't be covered adequately on a prepaid card. (On a regular debit card, you can do up to 3x £30 transactions without authorisation, and if any of them are fraudulent, your bank will reimburse you, regardless of whether or not your card has been (reported) stolen)
I don't see anything to indicate one way or the other myself.

There are also companies which want DevOps to know SE simply because they believe that such people create better infrastructure. Better in this case means more automation, code versus todo lists, understanding the SE users, etc.
I think you're not quite understanding the sentiment. Parent comments aside, I think most here don't object to advertising models in general, they object to the mass surveillance that is now standard in the AdTech industry. That, along with intrusive ads that degrade performance and the user experience.
Snap also pollutes my disk list to the point that, without further effort on my part, regular ol' "df -h" is basically unusable. And it seems to leave old versions of things like VLC hanging around, for some reason, judging from same disk list.

It's high on my "hope it fails" list of Linux software. Sorry everyone who works on it :-(. General idea's good, but back to the drawing board, please. Or not and I'll just be less happy with any distros that push it on me, I guess.
They can, it depends on the role. Not referring to you but I have never understood why DevOps at many companies can’t program and are just hired to copy paste files.
