I've had a similar extremely amazing experience. I do a lot with 3d printing, and I buy Misumi extrusions.

During a large format printer I built, their website claimed that the 90deg brackets werent guaranteed to be 90deg ?! So, I called them, and got the secretary. I was expecting to be shoved off. She looked at the website where I indicated, and asked me to wait a few moments.

About 45 seconds go by, and I'm talking with a Japanese engineer who's fluent in English who runs the line ! He looks at the design schematic and the website, and says it had to do with a data import that didnt convert the tolerance data (90deg +- .0021) correctly, and instead put a boilerplate 'NOTANUMBER' result.

He then sent me the design schematic for all incident angles.

It was absolutely amazing - that I talked with the engineer responsible for that part in less than a minute.

So.. I keep buying from Misumi. :)

I think he's saying that the guns haven't deterred much when viewed through the lens of a French/American comparison.

In a lot of ways, the French are unquestionably better off.

The whole line of argument is moot though anyway, because with these new technologies I don't think the French will remain better off in those ways for too much longer. Neither guns, nor protests will be effective as deterrents in the face of ubiquitous surveillance. Both will be fairly impotent against these technologies in fact.
Wow so interesting an idea. But so many streaming algorithms etc. people stick megabytes of crap into one framed message.
I think that’s a valid and interesting point that the classic time versus space computer science trade-off needs to be considered in this case for large workloads.

One thing that seems different is that you also hear concern from developers about coding complexity and the desire to always have things to be as easy to reason about as possible. Yes these are things a library should just handle for you but it sometimes useful to know what’s happening fundamentally or can sometimes allow for less surprises.

Nevertheless, if one of the cases you mentioned became significant I’m not sure that not many would say coding complexity should take precedence over your considerations.
It was only a matter of time.

If your software development organization can't ship software without an agile process, then it's unlikely that it can ship software with an agile process either.

I'm not saying that agile processes are inferior or even no better than other software development processes. I'm just saying that there is some level of fundamental capability that a software organization must have before the process is even going to matter.

cgroups was extremely useful for a system I built that ran on Borg, Exacycle, which needed to reliably "kill all child processes, recursively, below this process". I remember seeing the old /proc scanner and the new cgroups approach and being able to get the list of pids below a process and realizing- belatedly, that UNIX had never really made this easy.

Why can't you just do all your v6 routing at l3 and skip l2 and NDP? If you were using WireGuard which is l3 then all you would need is a way to manage the routes. Can you make BGP work without l2? I seem to think you can but I've never tried it.

ZeroTier supports a mode where it emulates NDP for v6 and works without having to do multicast or broadcast at all. It does this by embedding its cryptographic hash vl1 addresses into v6 addresses.

You could easily add high quality motion blur in 60 FPS if that was the desired look.

More FPS is really no different that increased resolution. There is nothing sacred about 24, 480 or 1080.

This whole thread and article is like it's from an alternative universe to me. All of my tech-savvy friends go to great lengths to turn motion smoothing on everywhere ("smooth video project" is the best I know for PC) they can so that panning shots don't look awful. They wouldn't play videogames at 24Hz, so why should they watch a film at 24Hz?

It does introduce artefacts. The solution to all of this is for filmmakers to move on from the 1930s and film at 120 fps or higher. If people only want to watch a quarter of the frames, it can be downsampled easily.

The argument reminds me of musicians who didn't want their albums chopped up and sold as individual tracks, to be consumed however listeners desired.

> It’s false motion

I agree if we’re talking about motion interpolation. I’m personally sensitive to artifacts from the 24->60 conversion, and I sometimes turn off frame rate up-sampling, unless the show has a lot of panning, and then I prefer the frame rate up-sampling despite the artifacts it causes sometimes. Like Game of Thrones for example has so much panning that I kept turning on the motion smoothing. But then the artifacts were so bad I kept turning it off. There isn’t a good option, so I wish it was filmed at a higher frame rate, and then displayed lower for people who prefer that.

Above I was really only referring to high frame rates in general and deconstructing the argument that 24 is inherently better for artistic reasons. While many filmmakers and viewers like 24fps, most filmmakers aren’t choosing 24fps nor are they doing anything specific with 24fps. 24 is just a standard that almost everyone is stuck with, most people wouldn’t even consider it a choice today, save the few directors with big enough budgets and studio backing that they can distribute films in a non-standard frame rate.
So, as someone who has experimented with several scheme interpreters / dialects / etc, I'm seeing how this is another scheme, and generally
it looks quite interesting in that regard, but I'm not seeing how it is a 'meta-dialect' and what exactly the 'post-modern' features are (or what either actually means)..

that said, the network / rpc / database facilities make this look like a good scripting scheme for microservices sorts of things
FRR is used in production and isn't academic, I don't know where you got that impression.

Microsoft runs FRR on SONiC.

Vyos runs FRR.

6wind runs FRR.

Cumulus Networks runs FRR.

Juniper runs FRR in certain products.

VMware runs FRR.

Broadcom is integrating it.

I don't think you are very familiar with the scope of changes that have gone in since Quagga. Not to detract from BIRD - which is a great, solid BGP implementation - but it is disingenuous to say FRR isn't used in production.

One thing you have to realize with Copenhagen, and Danemark in general is that it is flat. Another bike friendly country are the Netherlands, also flat. Bikes as an efficient transportation work better when it is flat, you can probably feel it in your legs.

Interesting that they compared it to Park Slope.

Another thing about Copenhagen and Amsterdam is that they are the ideal size. Bigger and a bicycle is not enough, smaller and you might as well be walking.

Maybe a more interesting city to study for its bike culture would be Tokyo. Huge city, not flat, and yet very bike friendly.
> As recently as the mid-1990s, only one in 20 women in Japan had never been married by the time they turned 50, according to government census figures. But by 2015, the most recent year for which statistics are available, that had changed drastically, with one in seven women remaining unmarried by that age

> My biggest criticism of Agile and Scrum is that it assumes that you can just plan out how a feature will work by sitting in a meeting and talking about it. Then spend the next two weeks implementing that plan.

They don’t, there are ‘spikes’ that are just time spent researching or exploring or designing rather than implementing.

If your scrum master is telling the team what they can’t or can’t do, or how they should do their jobs, they are doing it wrong. Their job is to help you plan and help you resolve impediments to your work. They aren’t your boss.

The first thing in the manifesto is people over process, there should never be a case where some rule tells you that you can’t do the right thing.

Formal Scrum is a nice way to organize ‘normal’ work, but there are lots of cases where you have to improvise, and the process should never get in the way of that.
He had no association with the thirty whatsoever. Two were former students. That's it. And not only did he not participate (nor would he have been invited to participate in any case) but he actively opposed them while telling them that he did not fear death - an assertion they undoubtedly would have put to the test, sooner or later, had their government lasted longer than 8 months.

And as for his trial the indictment against him read, "This indictment and affidavit is sworn by Meletus, the son of Meletus of Pitthos, against Socrates, the son of Sophroniscus of Alopece: Socrates is guilty of refusing to recognize the gods recognized by the state, and of introducing new divinities. He is also guilty of corrupting the youth. The penalty demanded is death." Socrates intentionally provoked the 500 jurors with statements such as, "Men of Athens, I honor and love you but I shall obey God rather than you, and while I have life and strength I shall never cease from the practice and teaching of philosophy." The use of "God" and not "Gods" was not an accident. When Socrates was asked to propose his own punishment (in lieu of death) he proposed he be rewarded.

He obviously was not surprised when he was found guilty. The jurors were 500 random Athenian men, hardly his compatriots. His parting words speak of his intention, "The hour of departure has arrived, and we go our ways - I to die, and you to live. Which to the better fate is known only to God." He knew he had lived a great life and one that would extend well beyond himself. His martyrdom here was the grand finale to emphasize the correctness of the unpopular things (within Athens) that he had been saying all along. He warned that Democracy can become an unreliable and capricious system. Democracy responded by murdering him. You're undoubtedly correct that some of the majority that decided he should be murdered were driven by a misguided lust for revenge. That is a key validation of everything he ever said, and he knew it would be.

I think it's a sense of wonder thing.

The scope of knowledge (to my understanding) didn't exist back then to imagine infinitesimals. I believe they were having issues with irrationals, let alone things that approached 0 but weren't exactly 0.

There's a sibling comment along the lines of "what if calculus had been discovered 2,000 years earlier" that touches on this, but I think for me there's added the idea that there's proof that some people, some times, can almost see what's next in terms of discoverable knowledge, and it keeps me hopeful.

Most of us have some "off" theory/fantasy/hope with no rigid proof of validity. And many of those are just random neurons firing that might make a good fanfic. But there's that person over there who has a mostly fleshed out idea for (insert super tech here) and just needs to figure out step 37.

It turns out she'll never invent the super tech defined. But X-2891q in the year 3971 will meme a holograph that brings that super tech into reality. While the super tech likely adds to society, the original person who came up with elements of the concept enriched herself in doing so, by my perspective.

I feel sad reading this article but understand where the women seem to be coming from. It basically seems like two choices
1) get married and because your husband works all day, you get zero assistance managing kids and housework and aging relatives. There’s no safety net there, unlike in the US where, in many cases the husband could take time off or work from home to help out when the wife needs
2) don’t get married and be encumbered to all that. But have to forgo intimacy and the joys of kids.

Average seems like a weird measurement. Some Forbes article claims by 2030 the world needs 68 million teachers (I had trouble finding how many currently exist). So, the scale of numbers of teachers and number of engineers is hardly one to one.

Maybe you could say : is the average engineer contributing more to humanity than 1,000 teachers? Or you could go by pay: is the average engineer contributing more than 10 teachers? (guessing on numbers of course)

One to one ratio though? I'd argue: yeah probably. It's indirect effects, but Android/Chromebook/Google Docs... These all have brought computing technology and the internet into the hands of children around the world. Internet access is clearly one of the great opportunities for education. It might be hard to measure, but it clearly has an outsized effect.

this assumes it is in their best interest to do so..

This assumes that you know which .0001% the bot labeled incorrectly. To do that you would need to be able to label everything correctly, i.e. you would also need a perfect bot. More realistically you would need to sample much more than 0.001% of the input to find the part that is wrong.
It injects historical allusion. Dwight Eisenhower coined the term in his cautionary farewell address upon leaving office, as the Cold War was ratcheting upward.
Anybody doing Agile/Scrum know how it deals with people issues? It seems like with these practices everyone is on a tight leash -- how does it deal with the fact that real people have a natural ebb and flow in their concentration levels at work or interest in work.

That wasn't the implication. The issue is an hypocritical assertion.

I would assume that what author meant by this is that on Unix for the kernel itself names of various entities (filenames and similar things) are simply sequences of bytes that it does not ordinarily try to interpret in any way. (On the other hand SUS specifies that only very limited set of characters is valid in filename, but no "true unix" actually cares about that)

On Windows NT filename is specified as sequence of 16 bit wchar_ts and is supposed to be valid NFC UTF-16. OS X also expects that filenames are valid sequences of unicode codepoints and in this case NFD.

This article read really biased. The part about wife being ruled by her husband is simply not true. In Japanese households traditionally wife stays at home to be a housewife and man earns the money. But when he brings the money home, he gives all of them to wife who traditionally controls household's money and only gives a husband a small pocket money which he is then allowed to spend how he wants.

So obviously the article's allusions to Japanese sexism must be taken with reservation.
