The problem is that no news source is good enough to be anyone's only news source, and since most consumers don't have vendor relationship management software to keep them all straight, we can only keep track of a limited number of subscriptions, across all forms of media, regardless of what each costs in money.

Individually subscribing to 10 different paywalled news sites is not going to happen among the general public. Paying exactly the same aggregate monthly price for all ten, via just one redistributor, is more tolerable, especially if the customer can individually select subscriptions without forced bundling. Subscribe by checking this box; unsubscribe by unchecking it.

If I can sign up online, but have to cancel with at least one phone call guaranteed to last 30 minutes or more, I don't care if it's only $0.05 a month; I'm not buying it. It's not always the money cost. Sometimes it's the cognitive overhead or transaction friction. My use of the Internet lately seems to be governed more by the number of accounts I am willing to manage than by how much I am willing to pay, and the fragmentation is going to kill some of the sites that can't solve that problem.

When the NYT is in full control of its own paywall, you get nonsense like described here: https://dannysullivan.com/new-york-times-subscription-3480 [2014], where it's cheaper to buy the print version and just throw it away to get past the paywall, than to get the unlimited digital subscription. And this is likely fueled by a dark pattern: in order to get a price for print delivery, you have to call a phone number during NYC business hours, whereas you can just click to get an offer for all-digital access. It's only $8/4 weeks right now, which seems like a good money value, but I'm just not in the mood to worry about yet another website login.
I think it just depends on how you like to work. At the smaller company you’ll likely end up wearing more hats than you signed up for. If you enjoy that kind of thing then it could be the right move.

I went from a 100k+ company to a 10k+ company now down to a few hundred folks company. While the random responsibilities and roles that I never signed up for can be stressful, i find it makes life more interesting. Plus I feel like I have a greater impact at a smaller company.

But I know people who much prefer it the other way as we.
All these articles try to add the illusion of sophistication of the this space full of scammers and questionable characters. I mean, what kind of mind will spend their limited amounts of life on something, which hides its main purpose - speculation and getting rich without actually doing anything but just HODL'ing.

Well...the reason is APL can't do scientific computing well.

It doesn't by default have scientific libraries and builtins for solving equations. It has a fast interpreter, but scientific computing often needs much faster.

It was also late getting off the mainframe.

I really like APL, but it doesn't have the horsepower for my needs.
Yes, but if you have a large amount of data then it may take up a good chunk of your hard drive space. SocialVault allows you to store these files online, and also provides a specialized file explorer for Facebook data.

Considering how difficult it is to conduct reliable experiments in human nutrition, and the wide variety of conflicting results, this is a dubious claim. I'm fairly confident that traditional grain-based diets are better for you than a diet based on modern processed/junk foods. Grains do contain anti-nutrients, but it's uncertain if they're a serious health risk, and it's possible to reduce the levels with fermentation (e.g. sourdough).
I ‘opt out’ always. Had a terminal security person tell me it’s just air (what in the actual funk!?). Fruitless attempts to explain that claim was entirely incorrect I just gave up. Got the pat down and move alongit’s a pain but flying is terrible in general. Finally I enjoy making the inconveniences along the way.
I think the point here is that when software calls an encoding "utf8," it is reasonable to expect that it means what every other piece of software is likely to mean by "utf8." MySQL violates that expectation. It's nice that they've changed the default encoding to be "utf8_for_realsies" but that should have been what was meant by the encoding with the name "utf8" all along.

It shows up to the OS as two 12GB cards still. So it kind of depends on whether the higher cost is worth the extra slot (in my case it isn't). Total power is less than 2X on the card versus one K40, although I'm not sure offhand if that indicates less performance or just power savings from shared components.

As mentioned in a peer comment, K40 aren't the fastest cards either, but the 12GB is really nice for some use cases.
A lot of electric bike schemes included in this. Hardly a high-impact result from this investment.
Maybe labels are bad, but piracy is far worse for artists -- it reduces their incentive to produce. That's why, for instance, big bands have become such an endangered species. Almost nobody can afford to hire, say, a horn section today.

Random aside, do you know when MySQL will finish the spatial stuff? I saw MySQL 8 had SRID support but when I tried to use it I just got messages that said it was not yet implemented.
I've increasingly become of the opinion that we need actual regulation for any SV app/co that calls itself a platform.

Nearly everyone acknowledges that a platform by definition needs to be either the only co in its industry or part of a duopoly but generally with a 50%+ market share. The gov should acknowledge the benefits of having such platforms but should also recognize the pitfalls and regulate akin to common carrier.

Google wants to be the only search engine, fine. everyone benefits when search is consolidated, but it needs to be regulated like a monopoly even if there are 1000 other smaller competitors because it still has a controlling share of the market.

I hate regulation as I'm describing it here, but I cannot see another way out.... if trump doesn't pass something like the S-ATA in the next 2 (- 6?) years the next prez almost def will, we're really hitting that tipping point.
That's true, but it also contradicts the claim that compensation isn't going up. Sure it's going towards ever more expensive healthcare, but it is going up.

In The Hidden Life of Trees, one cool fact that stuck with me in support of tree consciousness was how trees that are under attack from certain insect species will release pheromones to warn neighboring trees. The neighboring trees will then rapidly increase production of tanins and other defense chemicals to stave of the insect onslaught. pretty cool
When I found that sub, I had hoped it would be a bit more hacky. Like this is how I build a vSAN cluster out of a bunch of Mac Minis the office was throwing out.

Instead it is just people who buy an bunch of old enterprise gear on eBay. Though every once in a while someone posts something really cool, which is the only reason I stay subbed. Like a little while back someone figured out how to add 10Gb Ethernet to a NUC.

I have a couple of old Dell T320s that I bought for a project last year. I finished the project and powered them off because they make my office too hot. I really should think about selling them.

I am getting ready to to build a cluster out of Raspberry PI 4s as there is some cloud services that I am paying for that I want to host at home. At least those are pretty power efficient.

In mathematics, a matrix doesn't have an 'offset' or a 'starting point.' I think that perceiving matrices in those terms is an artifact of thinking of matrices as sitting in an address space, where the elements of your matrix are part of a larger span that can contain other data.

A matrix is a collection of elements and nothing more. Indexing starts at 1 because that's the first element in your matrix, and numbering the first element 1 makes sense. Numbering from 0 makes sense when it represents an offset into something, but a matrix isn't that. 0-based indexing just always feels to me like letting the implementation details leak out. (I don't feel this way when an array actually represents a chunk of memory, rather than a math object.)

The proliferation of +1 and -1 depends on the application. Some work better with 1-indexed, some work better with 0-indexed. Personally I get annoyed at having to use `len-1` too often when working with 0-indexed arrays. This is why some languages like Julia (and FORTRAN apparently?) let you choose your index-base, which... has trade-offs.

The feature is only available on the iPhone Xs so I assume it takes advantage of the iPhone's 3D depth sensing features. When it comes to eye and face tracking Apple has a lot of hardware at their disposal. The photos I've seen so far look perfectly normal, not uncanny at all.
I just have to say this, for me as a kid who grew up on Windows, installing MySQL was easier, it was also always available at all hosting providers, who also provided PHP to everyone.

To be fair, these days it might not be easier, for me user management was easier to understand.

Though these days I'm looking at Postgres and seeing only advantages:
1. Compliant
2. Not split into a billion versions
3. JSON

Besides that proper face pulls, ideally a resistive band YTWL[1] (another alternative is to do body weight YTWL by lying down [2]) exercise as well as walking with your thumbs forced straight to the front (if your thumbs point towards your hips when your hands are loose you have improper rotator position in your shoulder) helps wonders with any shoulder issues.

[1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELe4fATl-Jg
[2] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3MxHX9j15BU

Another very good exercise is to stand straight against a wall keeping your shoulder blades, mid back, butt, elbows and wrists touching the wall and doing a shoulder press motion. The motion should be done without the elbows and the wrists coming off the wall, even people in tip top shape find this exercise extremely difficult to perform and most people would top out at just under a 90 degree bend in their elbow at first.

Unless there is actual damage to the joint (e.g. scar tissue that gets inflamed and must be removed) surgery should be avoided at all costs, nearly all orthopedics conditions can be resolved by strengthening under developed muscles that would make the joints work as they should.

Shoulder issues tend to happen due to weak back/rear delts and overdeveloped front delts and chest muscles this is the bane of the modern slouching life style.

Unfortunately the quality of the Bioconductor packages varies wildly, from pretty good to downright abysmal.

Some can't even work: take a look at this one[1], which is part of the current release of BioC: it will never work because the hardcoded host there is no longer functioning and the author wrote that for their master's thesis and have since moved on.

In addition, there's no centralized bug reporting, and some packages use GH issues while for others you may need to email the author and hope for the best (sometimes works, sometimes doesn't).

I use BioC regularly every day because I have no other alternatives, but its main advantage is the sheer numbers of packages available for almost every bioinformatic niche, rather than the quality of the packages themselves.

Same, here in Toronto. My favourite Asian fruit market only takes cash, and a lot of the corner stores have a minimum purchase for cards.

But any business with any sort of margin (as in, I’m not buying grapes for 99¢/pound) takes contactless payments. My gym would look at me like I’m crazy if I tried to pay with cash, and Billy Bishop airport has been cash-free for years.
It's not the earning that matters. The spending is the important part. You can't pay for an x-ray with a W-2.

Analogously, taking a reservation is pointless. Holding the reservation is the point.
Perhaps it’s gotten better, but sendy for large email lists and campaigns was pretty terrible a few years ago (some lists were > 1m records).

Not to mention the delivery rates of SES and overhead of setting up dedicated IPs (if you have that scale).

Sendy seemed fine for small workloads, so does SES. The software is decent for the price. But anyone serious about delivery or scale should look beyond Sendy or an SES based tool.

There are a whole host of players that are essentially sendy as a SaaS (moonmail, email octopus). From what I’ve heard these are alright. People considering Sendy may wish to look into them

I’ve built and used a few products/tools that are backed by sendgrid, SES, and mailgun. Overall, I am a fan of sendgrid but understand it’s not a direct replacement for tools like sendy.
>Carbs are vital if you're doing physical labor.

Physical labor usually means long duration but low intensity exercise, which you can do just as well on a fat-based diet. Carbs only improve performance for short duration high intensity exercise (e.g. sprinting/weight lifting).
"Society" is not a thing that can wield control. Or rather it can, by forming into things like governments and corporations. It is not parallel to those things, but their substrate.

I'm with you that seeing power concentrated in those places seems worse than spreading it out. But the way it looks to me now, people aren't going to generally mind their own bitcoin wallets, and will tend to use centralized brokers.

I think that's human nature, specifically some algorithm for operating in a group. If I don't feel confident doing X, maybe X is not my strong suit, and I should trade jobs with another person. If I mess up my crypto wallet, my money could almost literally disappear, so my confidence is low.

People are afraid to control their own destiny, and that's at least somewhat rational.
I don't think it works like that. iOS is adjusting your eyes by a specific angle to account for the distance from the screen to the camera. If you look away it will appear to the person on the other end of the call that you are looking away.

Tabs could plausibly work if the editors were smart enough to treat this:

myFunctionThatDoesStuff(someArgument,
andThisCalculatedOne(anArgumentThatMeansSomething,
anotherWordyName));

as being all at the same indentation level. If this is at indentation level 2 then all these lines should start with two tabs. All whitespace after those tabs should be spaces. Then you can adjust the tab size without spoiling the relative alignment.

The editor has to understand the language fairly well. (In the case of C or C++, it also has to recognize preprocessor lines and treat them specially, as well as certain elements like goto labels that are out of indentation.)

It won't work in Lisps, because in Lisp, nested expressions have their own internal indentation which can be relative to alignment:

(long-function-name (lambda (arg)
(aligned ...)
(stuff ...)))

Basically the only thing that could work 100% would be the original typewriter/TTY/terminal concept of movable tab stops. The editor would grok each expression, and then set up custom tab stops for each line individually:

(long-function-name (lambda (arg)
(let ((var ...))
(stuff arg arg
v v v v v
arg))))

The v's indicate the tab stops for the last line, so five tabs are used. The algorithm for discovering these tab stops doesn't seem overly complicated. We shoot a ray upward at column zero. Whatever it intersects with is the anchor line. We then look for the first tab stops in the anchor line by moving the vertical ray. By this process we discover the ( in (long-function-name, and the ( on (lambda. After that, our vertical hit test encounters the (let line, so that yields a tab stop. If that weren't there, then the (arg) would be the next stop.

Basically tabs should intelligently be based on preceding material, as if an invisible helper were setting tab stops on our typewriter.

One problem with this is that any piece of software that has to format the code has to implement the same thing, exactly.

these seem fairly unrelated, honestly. They could have just as easily left the bad content in and still moved on removing videos on circumventing device/computer security. The bad content removal isn't a precedent that allowed for the removal of videos that affect their (and their peers') bottom line: they had that capacity from the onset.

As terrible as it may be (I haven't seen what is being removed to say), it is their site and their rules. So it then falls upon the users to decide if another site that will provide security bypassing videos is worth it to go to.
