I'm using a 2.x version of Sphinx and have been for many years. I refuse to upgrade the version. I haven't been able to break/crash the version I'm using under nearly any common circumstances or loads, so I'm sticking with it until I find an alternative that is dramatically better. I've learned every nuance of it over time and can make it sing & dance exactly how I want it to. I consider it a spectacular piece of software; it does a thing and does it well, reliably.

I own The Sporanos, The Wire, and Breaking Bad in box set. I have The X-Files somewhere on DVD, too.

For shows that are, essentially, an art form it's sort of worth it.

But you bring up an interesting point, because there are shows that have come out that are on par with e.g. The Wire or Breaking Bad during this steaming age (Chernobyl most recently, and maybe Game of Thrones for some - though I never got into that one). It's hard for me to think that I'll ever "buy" newer shows on hardware.
With only 6 weeks the greatest payoff will be to study leetcode and CS fundamentals. Reach out to your network and get some interviews. Due to the nature of the industry chances are you are leaving anywhere from 40-150k on the table by staying at your job.

The hardest part of freelancing is building out your network and getting clients. Sure you might be able to find a gig making $40-90/hr, but 4-6 weeks is just not enough time to really make much. I reccomend investing the time in your skills.
Shaders have always been little programs that run on your GPU, it's just that their original intention was to operate on and then output a texture/set of pixels, which you would render to your scene. However a texture/pixel set is just bits at the end of the day, which can be used to represent other data than colors/alpha as well.
That's correct. I don't think we do though. Maybe there is some talk but the real money is in selling ads and other stuff.

I worked in a cubicle when I did U.S. government IT. I can't tell any difference from the open plan offices I work in now that I'm in the private sector.
individuals in government and society in turn responds to advertising, lobbying, influence, bribery from vested interests...

So you can ask the question: if it would be rational for society to do $THING in its own collective self-interest, e.g. incentivize more community projects, then why doesn't it do that? And perhaps the answer is, within the current context, moving to that new state is no longer reachable...

The nginx header directives are all not in correct syntax with the extra ":", and for those directives with multiple values, it should be wrapped within a "" (such as "1; mode=block"), here is the correct settings:

## General Security Headers
add_header X-XSS-Protection "1; mode=block";
add_header X-Frame-Options deny;
add_header X-Content-Type-Options nosniff;
add_header Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=3600; includeSubDomains";
I guess the assumption was that search engines should be able to access the web, like humans do.
I found the frequency of contamination of scrap metal with radioisotopes to be disturbingly high (this article lists several more cases in addition to those in the wikipedia article: https://slate.com/technology/2013/05/asos-investigation-into...), and we don't seem to be able to reliably detect contaminated goods at the border.

Reading these articles inspired me to build a geiger counter to confirm that none of the metal items I own are contaminated. I used a kit (from https://sites.google.com/site/diygeigercounter/ , but other sites sell them as well) to build a detector that can reliably measure gamma for about $60. Tubes that can detect alpha (e.g. from contamination with Americium-241) as well as test sources (with comparable activity to an ionization smoke detector, i.e. safe and legal for anyone in the US to own) for both alpha and gamma are slightly more expensive but readily available.
There was never a time they weren't turing complete (e.g. you could always just run the same NAND shader iteratively on the same pixel buffer and compute whatever you like using pixels as binary storage) but once GPUs moved away from fixed pipelines it became easier to do whatever you wanted with them. Nowadays there are also compute type shaders which are kind of what you are talking about, running little functions on the GPU with no intention of actually shading anything with it or even working with graphical entities for that matter.
The P-38 still looks amazingly like a modern aircraft.
They really didn't. I can't fully pinpoint why, but it had something to do with the combination of the level and all its contents being randomized a certain way, which from what I experienced of the sequels wasn't replicated enough for me.
Shaders are the highly parallel part of graphics programming, so they are where non-graphics programs so their highly parallel work on GPUs, which are traditionally usually designed and used for graphics work but sometimes used for other applications like neural nets and cryptocurrency mining. When these got popular, GPU designers started supporting non-graphics non-shader parallel programming with models like CUDA.

There are still blocks for sale in the US and probably always will be. Not saying your wrong just that the reality is more of a gray market vs the official ARIN party line. There are blocks that were assigned predating ARIN and if you never agreed then you can still sell these at a market rate.

He might just mean "Merkle tree with digital signatures", which most people intimately familiar with block chain won't distinguish from block chain, despite the former being in general use in the software industry and the latter in general use by Ponzi schemes.

Pretty neat, I see the most granular time scale currently supported is a 3-month window -- are there any plans to increase granularity towards a (near) real-time system? I get your crawler might be rate-limited at that scale and you would likely have to rethink the entire system architecture, but I think real-time data would open up a whole new dimension of possibilities for detecting/predicting trends perhaps even before public awareness catches up. I'd imagine there would be parties interested in paying for that kind of capability if that's the direction you're planning on taking this idea

Why is it not sustainable? Because of content licensing fees. If video content was treated (i.e. regulated) like radio with a fixed price per minute then there would be competition for one stop streaming services instead of walled gardens.
Netflix is finally facing some decent competition, and in response, they've been raising prices. :-/

I understand they need their own content, but they've already got more than I can watch. I'd prefer more quality and sticking with shows over quantity and higher prices.

> You want to replace $2,000 / ton fishmeal with $100,000 / ton escamoles? How are you planning to convince anyone to do that?

You make 2 assumptions here that don't really make sense in context of the comment:

1) That escamoles are 1:1 replaceable with fishmeal in terms of feeding fish.

2) That the price of escamoles would not go down if industrially farmed
When I look at code that makes me think "why would anyone do it this way?" I remind myself: the programmer who touched this before me very likely had plenty of thoughts about fixing this code, but they probably had good reasons for not getting around to it.

That's certainly true of some less than stellar code I've left behind. It's not for lack of desire to improve it. It's from (1) having written code against a different set of requirements than what they eventually became, and (2) it ain't broke and I have plenty of stuff that is broken.
Why can't they do that with the query parameters?
Maybe -- but you'd have a lot of people trying to listen in on radio communications (voice, telemetry) and those signals had better come from a plausible direction. That's for starters.

I also wonder how common privately held telescopes and radar equipment is, stuff that could detect a spacecraft on the way to the moon. It seems practically impossible to spot an actual landing with a telescope, but you could probably determine if something about the right size had acclerated out of Earth orbit and was heading to the moon. Window of hours, probably.

It'd be expensive to fake all this with enough fidelity to foil analysis tools that exist today (much less tools that will be available over the next few decades). It's probably cheaper to actually land on the moon again :-)
This is ridiculous. They just continue as if nothing happened. And who gets the money? What about the consumers who got affected? Where is the compensation for them?
Yeah I don't see how to allocate resources more fairly. It's either money or some arbitrary board with their own agendas.
This analysis suggests a trivial solution, if it's accurate: Make a "shuffle" channel on Netflix which just starts playing a random show/movie which the algorithm has confidence you'll like. "Skipping" would be just like changing the channel on TV.

That could probably do a better job of satiating the viewer than broadcast channels, which don't know your taste.
I took Equifax to small claims. When that didn't pay up, I appealed and removed to higher courts. I continued doing this until it wasn't worth it for me. I think I cost Equifax a total of at least $20K USD. They had to keep flying lawyers back and forth from Atlanta to where I lived and put them in hotels.

I think I got them to spend more than I would have received in any settlement.

Fun note, my judge in small claims dismissed my case but said the following before dismissing it, "Mr. tuxxy, I would not trust Equifax with my dog's vaccination records. I'm absolutely appalled in the lack of protections Equifax provides for the personal data of Americans, however I'm afraid I don't see a case for negligence..."

She lectured Equifax's lawyers a bit on what a shitty offer credit monitoring was for the loss of my PII for a bit, then sent us out.

I trolled their legal team a bit near the end and tried to settle for $3.50 after mediation failed, but I wanted them to refer to the $3.50 as "tree-fiddy" in the settlement, but they refused. Oh well...
See, everyone has a different thing they find important about Rust. He suggest abandoning zero cost abstractions (letting stack/inline allocation be decided by the compiler instead) which I think would remove most of the power of the language. Default thread safe primitives sounds really wasteful too.

I think languages similar to Rust but with less complexity will be a very cool space to watch going forward. All sorts of interesting language designs possible.

I’m working on a language that does “Rust-like” things, but unlike the article, what I am going for is the efficient memory management, in this case the inline structs (zero cost abstraction) and compile time memory management (automatic lifetime analysis). The biggest difference with Rust is that it is fully automatic: when ownership can’t be determined at compile time, by defaults it falls back to a reference count increase at runtime (in Rust this would just be an error). The advantage is zero annotations, and a language that can be used mostly by people that don’t even understand ownership. There may be ways to explicitly (optionally) enforce ownership in the future, for those who want more control.

People are free to enter contracts stipulating just about anything. Society may decide that certain terms are unconscionable, or that certain circumstances can't lead to a valid contract, but it's generally a "default allow" policy. Contracts being enforceable in the technology realm doesn't mean there's an "effort by society" to do anything; it would take effort to make them unenforceable.

The intellectual property system is explicitly provided for in the Constitution; it's not a "reaction" to anything recent. Though I do think the shape of its application to software and digital media comes from impartial parties not having a good understanding, and competent parties being motivated to protect their interests.

Interesting perspective as someone who grew up in the suburbs where you drive everywhere. I still live at home and working on a startup. I've been dreaming once I'm better financially of moving to Austin, Texas. My family is kinda against that though, as they hate cities and view them as the source of all the crime, which seems true but more people together in one area probably increases the stats too.

But I like the idea of being able to walk and explore the city! Here in the suburbs, you can just walk in circles without actually going anywhere. Not sure if Austin would be a good city or not to go carless. I guess depends on which part of the city. I know Amazon and also other apps now that deliver groceries in more popular cities too. I think though you are supposed to tip, and they charge a delivery fee too but convenience I guess. So all the apps and services is probably easier than it was a decade ago. I figured I'd probably walk to the nearest grocery for some things, order other things. Then there's Uber and Lyft... Uber never has cars where I am, Lyft doesn't seem to say as it looks like maybe but unsure when I hit the next screen. I have been wanting to go on a solo trip someday anyways so great apps when traveling but don't think they are useful here at home as doubt enough people want that here. But would be useful for a ride to the airport over an hour away so wouldn't have to bother someone for a ride early in the morning.

Not sure if I'd always want to live in a big city, but something different to try and feel like I'd probably be happier and healthier even. I love walking but walking the same thing over and over is boring.

I've been reading a lot of people are leaving the midwest and northern states for places like Florida and Texas. Warmer weather and lower taxes. Not sure why anyone would want to live where I'm from unless they have family, other commitments or funds that making moving hard. I know if you want to work at a factory, tons of jobs like that here. I know they say places like Ohio are suffering a huge brain drain. People who are young end up going to college or being offered a job somewhere else and never comes back home. I guess that's why it's called the rust belt. Not sure why anyone would want to voluntarily live here, it's like a punishment to live here. I don't see the appeal of why anyone would actually want to live here or even vacation here. Sure there's some interesting stuff but spread out so maybe if you were retired exploring the country in a RV, but if you only have a week of vacation and a limited budget flying to Orlando or Miami is more appealing to me. Maybe I'm a bit bias though since my mind has been set lately on heading south.
I don't limit my plugin usage on purpose. I will add a plugin if it adds a value I can make use of.

Disregarding color schemes here is my list:

* FZF

* COC (it provides a lot of QoL, functionality of modern editors with it's plugins using an easy seamless yarn add)

* Sandwich

Very few customizations. Mostly vanilla.

Regarding colors, I love to try new ones all the time and my current is scery followed by Gruvbox, and Dracula because they work in Terminal.app and iTerm. They also look nice / easy-on-the-eyes. My friend at work has a thing for Nord and another loves Monokai Pro, but apparently the author wants money for it...? Which seems... different.

When corporate fines are shown in headlines, I think they should be expressed as a % of market capitalization or cash on hand (the latter % obviously being much bigger). It helps the reader better understand what kind of action was taken. Fining McDonald’s 10M and fining Mozilla 10M will have radically different effects.
The damage to each individual is incalculable. Their company should just be dissolved and split between everyone affected at this point. Giving them a fine even close to the amount of economic damage they did would already be the end of the company.
