Still, there are ways to handle situations like this that don't involve increasing government authority and censorship. Its probably impossible to stop idiots from spending money on scams...

The government exploits peoples fear and skepticism frequently. Remember the time when Saddam Hussian had links to Al Qaeda and weapons of mass destruction? The Iraq war will cost way more than any online opportunist and without those that question the narrative how could we ever have a chance of fighting these sorts of things?
Just switched back to Terminal.app because iTerm is a bit of an energy hog. I run a pretty stock bash shell. Anyone else? Any tips for improving it?
People are actually cutting down trees to put up solar farms? Do you have a citation for this? If it's unprofitable farmland that doesn't need development that's one thing, but I can't picture a utility actually clearing out a forest just to put solar panels up, that seems a tremendous waste of resources when there's so much open land elsewhere in the US.
The specific implementation, so to say, yes. But the general idea is always, that the mind and will of the spellcaster can alter reality.

Looking for Systems Development Engineer
So, to clarify, it looks like you are already using Google Sheets, which is great.

But the spreadsheet you link to is designed more “visually” and not like a real database. You also don’t seem to be accounting for 1-to-Many and Many-to-Many relationships in the data.

Also, from the way you phrase your question, it sounds like you say “a database” but mean “a database and an app to manage it.”

Am I close?

If that’s the case, I’d suggest to begin with watching a few YouTube videos on “database design” to understand things like “primary keys” and 1-to-Many and Many-to-Many relationships. And then focus on designing just the tables of your database. Possibly, just using Google Sheets and with a little help from an experienced freelance developer.

Once you get the tables right, you can think about the app. A few options there would be Google Sheets, Airtables, Bubble.is, or even using something like MySQL and a custom-built app.
Tangentially related, but I wonder how long before HFT harnesses neutrino transmission to send market data directly through the earth? The MINOS [1] project is underway to send neutrinos from Fermilab in Illinois to detectors in northern Minnesota. Straight through the earth's crust.

Detecting neutrinos is hard, and modulating data on them will probably be even more difficult, but if it shaves a few micro/milliseconds off trading time, I'm sure someone will make it happen eventually. HFT have already added dedicated undersea fiber-optic links [can't find source, NYC->LDN is obvious, I think there was talk or they began one from CHI/NYC->TOK but might be wrong, it involved the melting icecaps to easily sink the fiber cable], shortwave radio broadcasts [3], and microwave links [4]. I think HFT is frivolous, personally, but if it helps networking I think it would be cool to someday talk "on neutrinos" through the center of the earth!

> This is true, Europe is behind in AC installations.

That's because historically you simply didn't need AC in Central and Northern Europe. Also, only recently residential buildings ("zero energy house") have begun to use air-based heating which makes central AC feasible. (Obviously when you use AC you can forget the "zero energy" part). So for the huge majority of the existing buildings retrofitting AC is only feasible for a select few rooms due to cost.
In both cases it has O(2^n). Normally speaking, this response would be pure pedantry [0], but for static analysis it might be good enough. In most cases, the naive answer will be good enough, and the tool can direct you to pay attention to areas of particular concern.

Getting static guarantees about performance would require carefully constructing your code with the tool in mind.

[0] Although I still find it outrageous that CS departments describe their algorithms class as "math" when they do not accept this answer.
We've tried various schemes like this with the D compiler. The sweet spot seems to be the current design, where new and possibly buggy/breaking features are introduced with the -preview=feature compiler switch. If it proves out, and users have time to adapt, eventually it becomes the default, and a -revert=feature is there for people who need more time to adapt to it.

This has so far been working great.

As John Carmack wrote, it enables us to be a little more fearless in introducing new capabilities and putting them on trial.

For example, my recent trial implementation of disallowing more than one mutable pointer to the same variable being passed to a function:

https://github.com/dlang/dmd/pull/10249

It's hard to tell in advance what effect this will have on the existing D user code base.

def print_first_item(items):
print items[0]

This function runs in O(1) time (or "constant time") relative to its input.

If this were C where the only types are fixed-size, that might be true. But in Python it seems like items[0] could display as 10 gigabytes of JSON.

And if stdout is piped to a process that isn't consuming its input, it might never terminate naturally.

Also, since Python has arbitrarily large integers, an expression like "index += 1" probably runs in O(log(index)) time, not O(1) time.

Just this week I looked at my GitHub followers and at what "place" I am in Germany.

You know what costs even less, has zero side effects and protects you for a range of STDs instead of just for HIV? Condoms.

People on this thread are going around in circles arguing that:

1 - they are entitled to my taxes/insurance paying their expenses with PrEP, because they don't feel like using condoms.

2 - thinking it's reasonable, going around spreading all pretty kinds of STDs (that PrEP doesn't protect from) yet again, because they don't feel like wearing condoms.
You make it sound like this is an attempt to return to a more desirable set of circumstances.

Disagree on both points. Basic personal finance isn’t even taught in high school. Witness the financial illiteracy rate of the general public.

And it entirely makes sense to expunge debt that shouldn’t have existed because of broken public policy and an ignorant electorate that withdrew public funding from higher education, necessitating the need for education loans. I understand it might be difficult for some to understand this concept, which is why you push forward despite the opinion of those people.
Agreed, it's probably something I'm going to keep hunting for... will probably just use Hyper when I switch in a few months, but would love iTerm.
> Fundamentally it isn't a database, period. It's a schema for files in a file system.

This is false. It is both.

A database is merely an application that provides an interface to structured data on disk.

I know a thing or two about databases, having contributed to a few of the larger open source ones.

There's a lot more to TreeBase than is on the website right now. As the website says "We have been using TreeBase for over 2 years in systems with millions of rows and dozens of collaborators." For all you know, you may have actually used a website that is powered by TreeBase (well, a TreeBase application written in a different host language, but the file system semantics are the same).

Is OpenAI Really Open?
Most exchanges have an auction process that sets opening and closing prices. They let everyone get their orders in and then run an algorithm to find the price that will execute the most volume.

They could do the same process every 5 minutes and only allow stocks to trade in the auction. Then all of the resources used on pointless HFT could be used on something economically productive.
This is of course good advice. It's strange that anyone who is more than the greenest professional developer wouldn't do this. Experimental feature flags is basic software development.

> The Arduino has 2 KB of RAM

That is Arduino "Uno", not Arduino itself. Arduino now refers a platform and an ecosystem for quick microcontroller prototyping. Almost every popular microcontrollers has arduino API support (either officially or by community).

So the term "Arduino" sounds as "microcontrollers" to me.
The documentation style (permanent TOC on the right) seems to copy python's Sphinx style. And you are quite right about the lack of visible effort in making error messages more useful.
Filthstep didn't sound anything like what I was expecting. But I didn't really know what to expect. So then I selected some genres for which I could confidently propose an exemplary piece. Ragga jungle: precisely correct. Chicago blues: nailed it. Ragtime: the very archetype. Schranz: maybe that's the intro of a track that eventually meanders into schranz, but the clip on hand is way off. Swedish pop: pretty good. Glitch hop: no way. Gospel singers: US centric, but OK. Nigerian Hip Hop: yeah that's sort of valid in the sense that 2Baba is a Nigerian hip hop producer, but that sample is neither especially Nigerian nor particularly hippy-hoppy. Electro swing: all thumbs up. Bury St Edmunds Indie: A truly sublime blend of Sudbury angst and Lavenham melancholy, virtouosly caramelised in Ipswich je-ne-sais-quoi. (Yes of course I'm joking about that last one; the combination of specific location with vague genre is just absurd.)

This seems like a useful tool for discoveling new sounds, but when it comes to finding out what Polish free jazz really sounds like, I wouldn't trust it one bit.
Very interesting. Physical wars brought pointless spending that prompted innovation.

iTerm has very many features that are great for productivity which the default Terminal.app does not have.
But in the case of the DoorDash, if you tip using the app, you tip long before you know what the service will be.

It's like walking blindfolded into a restaurant and putting your tip in the hostesses hand before you even see any of the staff, or have any indication of service.

It's still far more innocent than the article suggests. There is usually a very clear indicator (lighting up on the top) of when it hears the trigger phrase. That paired with the low frequency of false accepts makes it a non issue.

As a screen sharing as an MVP I see a button (menu/keyboard shortcut/etc) to take a screenshot (or record screen for a few seconds), crop it and then record any voice comment. It should be super simple to execute, easy to do as instagram stories.

I see few use cases here: one part is about a code you're working now. Like "what the heck is this?". or getting feedback on show some progress on the work you're doing, to show colleagues when you've finished a screen, mockup, or even slide for a deck, etc. I believe it's important for a remote team to have such moments, it gives extra motivation for both sharer and viewer, an improves feeling of a team work.

Also please consider making a mobile app for recording messages. Laptop is often used for a some heavy work, may be connected to an external display w/o any camera, so it becomes inconvenient to record messages from it. But an cell phone can do the job.

PS I will be glad to give more feedback. As you noticed, after having almost 20 years of work in remote teams I've put a lot of thoughts in a product like this, so will happy to give some help, you can reach me by igor@artamonov.ru
Is it silly? You'd have to calculate the amount of CO2 sequestered by the destroyed woodland vs the amount output over time by whatever fossil fuel power generation could be replaced by the solar panels. I certainly don't know off the top of my head. Of course it would make much more sense to use already cleared land still - but maybe uncleared forest is much cheaper or something.
Planet uses COTs last I checked. Most CubeSat companies do (at least that I'm aware of).

I wouldn't say completely ignored though. You still want to use ECC memory when possible and have redundancy. The ignoring that I'm talking about is rad hardware. Or rather sapphire chips. Those run up costs quickly and you're forced to use technology that's on par with silicon from 10 years ago.
Yes, I agree completely.

La Tiene celts were ~animist in 200BC, so shaman seemed a reasonable modern word here. I suppose "druid" would also be OK, but I don't think scholarship has much to say about continental druidism, and what the consensus is generally is "they were probably called that and beyond that we really have no idea". (because we've long since lost anything close to a primary source, among other things)

That scene is quite plausible! People have calculated that we could supply all of Earth's (present) energy needs by covering just 1.2% of the Sahara desert in solar panels [1], and there would be positive side effects on the local climate to boot. Of course, we would never actually get all our energy in one spot, since there are questions of transmission, redundancy, political instability, etc. But it does point toward a future where lots of otherwise-useless desert land (like in SoCal, where the Blade Runner movies take place) is converted into solar farms.

What percent of extensions connect/download from the internet? That could be an easy way to identify a much smaller group of vulnerable extensions. Make extensions request permission to connect, then you can see the smaller group and watch any new extensions that request the permission. Connections could also be domain restricted to a list defined before distribution (and IP connections banned.)

Also, Mozilla could force extensions to make requests through proxies it controls... although that would be a whole other issue.
