Just two, I think, the Drive applet was named Backup and Sync, while the Drive cloud-thing is still Drive. And DFS is a beefier, enterprisier, version of Backup and Sync.

I think?
This is 100% anecdata but it seems like among my friends, family, coworkers Google Drive has eaten Dropbox's lunch for casual file syncing and remote storage. I mean it used to be that everyone had a Dropbox account, it was basically synonymous with file storage, but now people talk about their "Drive".

"A folder that syncs" was never the killer feature, it was the ability to download and upload files from any machine connected to the internet and get sharing links.
What about Node Red or Apache Nifi?
Replacing government services with cash seems to be fairly libertarian: decrease the size of government, increase freedom for consumers who would be served by the market instead of these services, no?
How scalable is this then? What happens if the local breweries can only supply 50% of the waste demand for the larvae?

What if it's not 50% but only 10%? How do you feed the insects then?
Compost is microbe and invertebrate poop with some indigestible bits mixed in.

BSFs are going to create castings as well. In a large operation you probably get both.
Well, the bank could still record from their end of the conversation, capturing the chat logs from the employee's terminal and shipping them somewhere.

No, because it's not a bearer token.

Edit for clarity: A bearer token [0] is a concept for OAuth. This is not OAuth.

I can chime in here that lucene- based solutions are sufficient almost always, for a purely frontend, js-based fuzzy search engine check out fusejs. https://fusejs.io/
I read that and assumed there'd be a followup investigation of attempted mass murder but nothing. Was justice served, or even half-heartedly attempted and the article didn't mention it? The story lacks or justice lacks, hopefully the former.
In Snowpiercer, it was only the poor inhabitants of the last coaches that were fed insect protein bars. The rich and powerful in the first coaches ate fillet mignon and the like.

My guess is that is how things would play out with insects as food for humans in the real world, too. The poor will have to eat grubs and crickets "for the environment" while the rich continue to eat as and what they please.

This is my guess based on my experience of how food works in the UK. If you can afford it, you can eat fresh fruit and vegetables, or the best cuts of meat. If you can't, then tough: it's kebabs, sliced bread that's high in trans fats, sugars and salts, and at best tinned veg and fruit, for you.
HTML canvas is incredibly slow and just a generally bad API. Using it from WASM is a mistake. It uses strings for everything and has a particularly slow imperative API, and the spec/de-facto-spec behaviors perform very slowly even on high-end hardware. I've seen relatively simple 2D canvas-based games drop frames in chrome on a GTX 2080ti because canvas is that bad.
What if you want a common C++ code base that can run on web or desktop?
I'd recommend the author use the OAuth 2.0 scope https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.file ("View and manage Google Drive files and folders that you have opened or created with this app") instead of https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive ("See, edit, create, and delete all of your Google Drive files"), if/when they get a chance to work on this.

Anyway, this is really cool and totally fills a niche for me (90% of the time I want to edit org files in Emacs on my computer, but sometimes I need remote access). So I'm really happy to see this exists.
Backup could (should?) be on tape, which once written is physically removed from the system and put in cold storage for some period of time (years?). That's how we did it at my first job, at least.

Of course IANAL so idk how this jives with various EU laws.
Death of an industry post without use of the word millennial. Bravo.
You make $200M when without you the company would be significantly more than $200M less profitable.

Here we have someone of tomorrow they went to the Board and said, “I’m going to need $200M a year in comp to stay on” they would be insane to turn him down.

If you look at what Microsoft has accomplished under Nadella’s leadership, the level of operating profit and growth, he should absolutely be worth $200M to Microsoft and shareholders of Microsoft.

It’s not about the number of hours you work. There is a non-linearity when someone can look at a situation and see a solution, or devise a plan, or organize a strategy, or forge a partnership, or foresee an acquisition, that without that person in that position, the company would miss out on potentially $Billions of opportunity. You pay a lot of money if you can get the right person in the room to make those company-crucial decisions correctly.
Yea, it was played as almost a "Soylent Green is People!" sort of reveal, but I couldn't help but just think it was pretty much the only reasonable way to handle food in the setup. If it tastes good enough, and you've gotten used to eating it, what's really wrong? It's not like it's some ethical horror to be eating bugs.
That's not how I read the title. I think it's impressive that it's faster despite being written in Rust.

Maybe Rust also makes it easier to write fast code (I couldn't say one way or another), but it's great that you at least don't need to sacrifice performance on the altar of safety.
You’ve convinced me. I didn’t know anybody could lookup my info. I only want it for myself.

Only thing is, there are a couple of old email addresses I used to use that I don’t have access to anymore. I guess I just need to shrug at that at this point.
I don’t know, I work in the public sector where we have been in bed with Microsoft for decades and I don’t think their monopoly on non-tech enterprise has ever been stronger. There is really no alternative to Office365 that wouldn’t cost us billions in non-tech areas because our 5000 users don’t know how not to use it and we don’t know how to manage them without Active Directory and ADFS.

I think your description of them on the development front is accurate. But I think that’s on purpose. With Azure they don’t really care if we use .Net anymore because that’s not what they need us to do to sell us cloud. Node very quickly became a first class citizen in Azure for instance, integrating well with stuff like application insights and other Azure DevOps features. Sure we could take our Node apps to AWS, but that doesn’t really make sense when we’re already buying into the Microsoft cloud with Office365.

I’m sure tech-heavy companies can afford to ignore Microsoft, but the public sector of Europe is a billion dollar industry for tech companies and Microsoft owns it.
The article mentions the big difference between eiderdown and other downs, but doesn't really stress it. Eiderdown is different than all other commercial downs in that it is harvested from used nests, rather than directly from the bird. The birds pluck their own down, use it to line their nests, raise their chicks, and then the "farmers" collect the down after the ducks have left. All other downs are plucked by humans from a dead (or dying) bird.

I was excited enough about eider down to plan a vacation largely around it. Instead of Iceland, we went to the Vega Islands off the north coast of Norway. It was a beautiful area. The BBC has some nice pictures here: http://www.bbc.com/travel/gallery/20181001-the-worlds-lighte....
Imagine the benefits if they'd done that from the beginning.

(We don't even have to imagine. There's an existing example: Norway's socked away $200k per citizen for a rainy day. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Government_Pension_Fund_of_Nor...)
As the resident tech guy in a small shop with Quickbooks, yes, you can do local backups. We're not using iNSYNQ for cloud hosting, though.
Despite all I said above, I'm sceptical. People have an ugly and annoying tendency to ignore the truth until reality bites them into their asses. They neglect cancer prevention because the risks of getting are so low while in rwality they are just afraid of the results. And that is just one example.

It is certainly a WebGL Context.

Running this on one of the examples.

let c=document.querySelector("#canvas");

c.getContext("2d");
>>>> null

c.getContext("webgl");
>>>> WebGLRenderingContext { vertexAttribDivisor: vertexAttribDivisor(), drawArraysInstanced: drawArraysInstanced(), drawElementsInstanced: drawElementsInstanced(), createVertexArray: createVertexArray(), deleteVertexArray: deleteVertexArray(), bindVertexArray: bindVertexArray(), isVertexArray: isVertexArray(), drawBuffers: drawBuffers(), Yu: null, canvas: canvas#canvas
}

c.getContext("webgl2");
>>>> null

Of course that doesn't stop it from using any amount of software rendering layers before it hits the canvas, but it's a good sign.
In the early days at least, cosmosdb was built on es. Dunno about now though.
By running it through two species, especially one that is a scavenger, you are also reducing the pathogen load.
Such a big issue. We all see the high healthcare and education costs and want healthcare and higher education for all, but our healthcare (current system) is way more expensive than other developed nations' and college prices have only increased over time, turning student loans into college administrators. We'll have to address this inflation either way.
I've personally built a few of these granny units in the East Bay over a few summers. It is very DIY-able, but it is faaaaar from simple to do yourself. If you go the contrator route, you had better know the crew personally as supervision is not turn-key.

One example: The concrete pad.

You must know the size of the pad. Then, you have to take soil mesurements for moisture and compaction. If you do not do this, your pad WILL crack as the center's moisture and it's volume changes relative to the soil outside the garder. This is especially a concern in South Bay clay and loam soils. There are many many Levitt-town style houses that are experiencing pad issues. These issues cause the building to shift. Doors will not close, gaps appear in walls, etc. This can happen within 5 years of the pour. Rebar must be tied off at each interesction, otherwise the pad will shift even more so. The garder on the pad must be 24 inches deep. Depending on the size of the building and the load on the pad (which is estimated beforehand) you have to tie the building into the garder with steel hooks (min 0.5' diameter, at least 12' into the pad) due to earthquakes. Concrete's drying period is dependant on a lot of factors, but weather is a big one. Before further construction occurs, the drying must be completed correctly. Actually getting the equipment, tools, and personel to the site is another headache too.

Ok, got that very slimmed down list off the top of my head? Those are just some of the issues with the pad. Multiply that throughout the entire build and there are a lot of little problems to solve and they have very big effects in 5 years time.

So, if you decide to trust your contractor, you had better really trust your contractor. These issues are not simple and there are a LOT of corners that can be skimped on without you knowing.
Protein isn't monolithic: there are 20 amino acids which are found in different proportions.

Plants, specifically, often have less leucine than animals, which is an important signalling molecule that feeds into mTOR as well as protein synthesis regulation.

https://www.physiology.org/doi/full/10.1152/ajpendo.00153.20...
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3322509/

This doesn't make plant protein 'bad', but it is something to consider, especially if using a plant-based diet.
OK, but road fatalities per capita and per automobile are higher in the US than in Europe. As is obesity. I believe that our obsession with motor vehicles even for small tasks plays a role in this.
Sure we do. Through Selenium. You can either load a full browser session, or a headless one. But headless sessions are identifiable.
No browser would ever do this. It's a pain in the ass to do to begin with but it's also an absurdly complex optimization for a specific use case that would barely pay off in practice. It wouldn't work unless you were shipping the same version of skia as the embedded application and you'd have to do all sorts of weird stuff to make the ABIs match up (the native C/C++ ABI is not the same as the one wasm uses at runtime)
Even with ZFS deduplication off?
Right, but every student getting a glimpse of it as it goes by is completely different from everyone having the full-fidelity copy on their device permanently. And a magazine's editorial board being the gatekeeper on wide distribution is completely different from anyone who has it being able to pull the trigger at any time.

If you really think these are in any way the same, you'll be shocked to hear what record companies thought about Napster in the early 2000s. Turns out sharing a digital file and sharing/copying a physical artifact are not even remotely the same. As tech people, we don't get to just wash our hands of these consequences and say that it's down to individual human choices any more than car companies can avoid building in safety features by saying they'd be unnecessary if only people were better drivers.
As a Catholic, that person is God.

To fill this idea out a little more - God is the source of all good and the ultimate goal of all creatures. The ultimate reason for happiness (which all seek) is the Person who creates all things. And He wants to spend time with us, but He also wants us to choose to spend time with Him. A retreat, like a pilgrimage, is time we choose to set aside to spend with Him.
I'm sure mongo has some good use cases but so far at my company we have evaluated and tried mongo for a few things. Never really made it very far. This article seems kind of petty to me honestly. This is the same mongoDB that by default left databases open and god knows how many instances out there are hacked.

The only thing i've ever gotten with mongo is a bunch of marketing BS honestly. We have worked with some of their sales people and technical people to try and figure solutions out. It was 100% marketing BS. no thanks for me, best of luck for you guys.
We need protein to feed the world. Beef and lamb are environmentally horrific, and for some people there are ethical problems too. Chicken is less harmful for the environment (still pretty bad), but the ethical problems for most forms of chicken (anything other than properly free range) are severe.

We could try plant based diets for everyone, and if done correctly that would increase health, but it's possibly tricky to do.

Supplementing a plant based diet with entomophagy could feed the world at considerably lower carbon footprint than current meat based diets.
I agree but in the industries where I've worked there were never needs to use Kubernetes or Docker or any container-based solution.
Active noise cancelling headphones are, in my experience, much more effective at cancelling continuous low-frequency sounds than earplugs which only attempt to block them.

On the other hand, if “the hum” is at frequencies that are normally too low to be heard by most of us, then they may be also too low to be recognised by noise cancellation hardware.

A range of frequencies are given in the Wikipedia link for the phenomenon, in various different cities, and some of them should certainly be within the normal, cancellable range.
it's true that individuals aren't at fault, and that it's largely energy business and politicians who are at fault.

but, to be honest, i think that's shirking your responsibility. it's just giving up in a slightly different way - "can't do anything about this any more, need authoritarianism; my hands are clean!"

we know a small % of people can enact revolutionary change. many people are afraid, comfortable, or unable to do something like sitting in front of $national_capital, risking their jobs, etc. until that change comes.

it's unfortunate but this idea that "the people" can't enact change is silly; there's just not (yet) enough willingness to really sacrifice to get it done.

It totally is. Chickens will happily eat anything. Especially other chickens.

I grew up on a chicken and sheep farm. Between letting the chickens roam the vegetable part of the farm area and eat bugs (bonus: we didn't need pesticides) and feeding them our organic food waste, we basically spent nothing on chicken feed. I found out about chickens being zealous cannibals accidentally when I was a kid taking the trash out to feed them. We'd had fried chicken for dinner, and I wasn't thinking about it and just threw all the bones into the feeder like I always did with the food trash. They went berserk over those chicken bones. They absolutely loved them. It was a shark-style feeding frenzy. I was weirded out by that for a while.

It was a pretty small operation though. OP's idea for chickens might make sense in a factory farm situation where there's no space to let them roam for bugs. And maybe the logistics of getting them fresh trash don't make a ton of sense.
Vivisimo was actually bought by IBM, not Oracle.
The CEO of Ford Motor Company, Jim Hackett, has claimed this: for autonomous vehicles to work resiliently at scale they require

1. vehicle-centered sensors

2. a way for vehicles to share their sensors with nearby vehicles,

3. detailed models of the cities in which they operate, and

4. wireless networks capable of transporting all this data to where it's needed.

He calls all this the "mobility operating system."

In the interview I heard (I wish I could remember where, sorry) Mr. Hackett said he believes the defensible intellectual property for autonomous cars will be those detailed city models.

So, I am delighted to hear that municipalities are getting ahead of this issue with respect to city models.
This would be a great way to help feed the poor and homeless as groceries continue to get more expensive!
I don't quite understand brain simulation. Most article talks about how neuron works, how they are connected. It seems I can write a simulation easily. https://medium.com/@bennashman/modeling-your-brain-on-a-comp...

What I don't get is, the interconnected neurons don't seem to be differentiable. How do they learn? How to provided feed back to the system? How to train them like we do to ANN?
House Committee on Financial Services Hearing: “Why Was Rust Language Chosen?”
I'm not the youngest person to post in this thread. Did you have a point or did you forget your medication again?
This is like saying, if you're going to give people free samples, why not give away the whole grocery store?

Wanting to give out limited free samples inevitably leads to making sure you are giving out samples to people and not bots and not too much to each person, and that leads to user tracking.

Compare with the arms race between newspapers and incognito mode:

Glad to hear this. Dropbox is silently updating their app, and there's no way to turn this "feature" off. Yet another reason I'm looking to leave them.
4chan is unfiltered and there are a bunch of people that aren't able to handle this, so it's a self-selected pool of people that are capable of participating in unfiltered discussion. In other communities heavy filtering is going on. Comments get removed and accounts banned, so that the people that cannot handle unfiltered content won't leave.

Personally I think all content should be unfiltered and the people who cannot handle this, should learn it. Open discussion is difficult when you have to self-censor all the time. We have it so bad, there's even a bunch of words we're forbidden from using in filtered communities and it's sold as a good thing. Lots of ideas and opinions are also banned, which is really unfortunate. We tend to criticize China for exactly the same things that are completely normal for most of us. It's just that China bans different ideas.
To me I’d be more worried if my kids went to school only with rich white kids because they’re the ones with the money to buy coke ;-)
> I use a program called earlyoom, which has saved my server from having to have the big red button pushed quite a few times, when fumble-fingered PhD students "accidentally" consume all the RAM in their pet projects.

Along those lines, take a look at this: [1]

> Pressure stall information were added to Linux 4.20 as a way to quantify resource pressure in the system in a better way than the traditional load average. PSI aggregates and reports the overall wallclock time in which the tasks in a system (or cgroup) wait for cpu, io or memory.

> This release [Linux 5.2] lets users to configure sensitive thresholds and use poll() and friends to be notified when a certain pressure thresold is breached within a user-defined time window. With this mechanism, Android can monitor for, and ward off, mounting memory shortages before they cause problems for the user. For example, using memory stall, monitors in userspace like the low memory killer daemon (lmkd) can detect mounting pressure and kill less important processes before device becomes visibly sluggish. In memory stress testing psi memory monitors produce roughly 10x less false positives compared to vmpressure.

I haven't tried it yet, but it sounds promising.

Sorry assumptions about how an individual thinks based on their race, gender or sexuality is clearly a nonsense. You cannot point at any individual and know their thoughts. The best you can do is say "This demographic in this place tends to agree with this statement".

As for the the actual article you linked, the author herself has nice race-bait titles of work such as "The White standard: Racial bias in leader categorization", you can't seriously tell me that this is an objective body of work? There is also the piece she wrote called "Office Holiday Parties Highlight Racial Dissimilarities and Fail to Promote Team Unity" ... apparently the office party isn't safe from race based politics. Sorry but this sets of alarm bells in my head.

The piece itself doesn't cite any evidence for anything it claims.

In the US at least, external propane tanks exist but are relatively rare outside of use in outdoor grills.

I know of a few places that have big propane tanks bolted to the side of the building, but it’s predominantly in rural areas and for big kitchens — church parish halls, community centers, etc.

All are systems engineering failures, we have a pretty good history of building resilient systems. I won't say that a fukushima couldn't happen in the US, but I'd say that the particulars of that disaster are unlikely to happen here (or anywhere else again).

We have very few nuclear plants in areas that are even seismically active anymore, much less have any meaningful tsunami risk.
