Hey Sails. This is a great question!

I've never used Lambda, but your question prompted two thoughts:

(1) Streamlit has an interesting property which we haven't yet publicized which is that if you:

python a_streamlit_sctipt.py

instead of

streamlit run a_streamlit_sctipt.py

It runs a_streamlit_sctipt.py from top to bottom but disables all the Streamlit code! This is intended so that Streamlit scripts can doouble-duty as both ordinary python scripts and inline visualizations. Now. I'm not sure how this would behave with lambda, but I'd be very curious to hear your experience.

(2) The more standard Streamlit approach would be to deploy your model to lambda, and then write a Streamlit app which connects to that model on lambda and visualizes your model.

I hope that helps. Please do share your experiences! Streamlit is an emerging technology and we're still very much figuring out how it fits in the ecosystem. I think figuring out Streamlit <-> Lambda is important and I very curious to hear what you find!

Btw, the best place to continue the conversation would be at discuss.streamlit.io because there are probably more people there with Lambda experience who could help you. Also, more Streamlit users could benefit from your insights. :)
You don't mean Gimp I hope.

I'd rather use Photoshop 1998 than Gimp.
Well this is timely. In case anyone else is from Brisbane, Australia - we're home to the world's largest CLT building: 25 King St.

It's open to the public this weekend as part of BNE Open House: https://brisbaneopenhouse.com.au/building/25-king-street/.

There's also a talk this evening: https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/brisbane-open-house-tall-tim....
I was hoping for some real life examples from some games and reasons why they’d use something like pointer arithmetic in such a way or so often it couldn’t be easily migrated, or why they’d even do it in the first place on a desktop machine. I get the old software.

Of course basic examples between 32 vs 64 are easy to find. I guess I should have clarified as the OP sounded like he knew the topic well.

I’ve never dug hard into C++ gaming architectures and the patterns they use.
The way I see it, we're drawing from a pool where most ideas are bad. Most problems (or, more broadly, "systems") have unsettlingly narrow parameters under which we can secure a beneficial outcome. Like the human body: a very narrow happy path flanked on both sides by a boundless abyss of deranged and dysfunctional pathologies limited only by your imagination.

I don't have an answer for how to identify good ideas that's convincing to everyone, especially in the flimsy-whimsy domain of politics, but I believe there are always more than two sides even if it's presented that way. There are uncountable many "sides" and most of them are bad, wrong, and insane. And to entertain all of them in earnest under the pretenses that we're being fair is a paralyzing waste of time.

Even for a comedy show. It's not really about the show anyway but the bigger picture of politics that it fits into.
The current social justice movements believe in things like deplatforming, they don't have the conviction to defend Freedom #0.
I'm sure a bunch of people have inundated you with other questions, but what other pain points do you have? How are Docx and PDF to deal with?

That means nothing at all, if performance is not your concern.
The ‘deregulation’ in California was designed to allow Enron to game the system. The blackouts were Enron gaming the system.

this kind of analytics is exactly what I looked for
hiQ vs Linkedin was a Heller vs DC. This feels congruent.
Remember, this is in comparison to public schools, which are regional gerrymandered monopolies. This system isn't perfect, but sets incentives in place to make it better. I grew up near some sketchy neighborhoods, and although I went to an average school, I know a lot of people who fared worse.

I'm not going to write a response to everything you said, but the tl;dr falls into a few categories

1. Privatization does not mean deregulation. Imagine Obamacare style regulations to a private marketplace for schooling (price caps, cannot turn away certain sets of people, etc).

2. If we can't agree on some measure for effective education, then there's no way to improve this, since we have no bar to go by. Everything is empirical and mileage may vary from person to person. You can create a seperate class of high school education (will flesh out in next point).

3. Property values are strongly correlated with the quality of the public schools (since all states help pay for public school with property taxes[1], and you are locked into a public school depending on where you live). My main motivation for supporting this is to help poor people have access to the same quality education as everybody else, and maybe even allowing specialized tracks that bias towards vocational schooling that funnels into direct employment after school (universities can boast about employment post graduation, why not high schools?)

4. There is nuance with the specific numbers here, and if it is systemically impossible for reasonable competition, then this price will go up.

For others nothing. Yeah electron is a better option then nothing.
Could you expand on that a little? Are you mostly fighting with high latency for deep learning models for imaging/audio or for traditional ML models on tabular data too? What sorts of latency SLAs do you aim for? (I do some work in this area and am always interested to hear war stories of inference issues.) Thanks!
Especially it seems SF is an area where it would seem wise to be a bit extra cautious...since you're both seismically active and in a marine environment.
As far as I remember, Germany in 30-s was underdog, deprived of colonies, territories, with failing economy and zero weight in international relations.

China is actual, undisputed world leader. They don't tolerate other nations telling them what to do on their land, and like economical expansion to neighbor states. They can afford it.

I don't see parallels.
> As I said PG&E makes a really great case for municipal power.

So if a power pole is owned by the government it suddenly becomes non-flammable? That isn't based on the laws of physics.

There is a strategy that makes countries fantastically wealthy: only do things that are profitable. Running the energy grid for no profits is not a path to broad-based success, it only results in taxpayers paying for things that have no marginal value. If it makes sense with electricity then there is no logical reason not to try the same strategy with gasoline, food and shelter. At some point the damage goes critical and Venezuela happens.

Also, buybacks aren't primarily a form of executive compensation; I'm no expert but they look like a work-around for double-tax issues in the American income tax law. A buyback is a method of transferring money -> stock holders and in this context is basically just a dividend.

I've no idea what is going on in California, obviously, but strategies like 'nationalise it!', 'stop the capitalists raising prices!' and 'Stop people profiting from their investments!' are just classic arguments that hurt everyone in the long term. Literally caused societies to collapse in extreme cases.
Robles claims Domino's wouldn't sell the same goods for the same price over the phone.
> Microsoft Windows 10 sends all new unique binaries for further analysis to Microsoft by default.

Interestingly, Apple's now doing sort of the opposite of this. Instead of having the end-user's computer upload all executables to Apple for analysis, Apple requires the developer send them over and have them "notarized" before they run.
Should always have access to the volume or mute/unmute button. Then give yourself 15 seconds of silence. Check if ad is still going and if so give yourself another 15 seconds of silence. Recollect your thoughs during the silence.
Keep seeing a therapist.
Workout. Lift heavy.
Get plenty of sun shine.
Get a dog if you can and exercise the dog daily. Walk, jog.

Work on your mindset. Learn to work with others, it's not that serious. If you want to be happy, you have to sometimes choose happiness over being right. Sometimes the world is not ready to move and you can't drag it.
I had that issue for a while but VC finally fixed it and haven’t seen any problems since.
It’s also one of few levers to hold executives accountable for their decisions and actions. The other being jail time.
Part of this is a direct result of the relentless move to annoying "cloud" only apps, but the other part is the "we reserve the right to discontinue your account at any time for any reason" T&Cs that all these apps come with. Especially when in conjunction with patents that cover the novel concept of file formats.

More broadly there's a long term cost inflicted by the US gov on US companies - as time goes by this is going to discourage purchasing US software, especially that backed by cloud services. I mean take any of that software that isn't "cloud" software, but does use remote DRM enforcement - should those "can I use this software" servers also start rejecting connections from Venezuela or what have you?
But the Domino's site didn't have "labels on forms," it was a whole goofy animated game where you'd drag ingredients on a pizza to order. There's no way to make that accessible without building a whole separate web app. You can argue that goofy animated games are a dumb way to run a pizza website, and I can agree with you, but we all know the web is full of that kind of thing which is now waiting to be a lawsuit magnet.
I don’t see large opportunities in localized “web tech” (I’ll read as http based) business.

The whole reason the web works for business is that you can give something away to millions of people for ad revenue or sell something to very large groups for small amounts of money.

Localization reduces your customer base. The price a business has to charge would be higher. This is on top of the adoption problem.
Better how? If using GPLv2 means companies stay away from the project instead of building on top of it, that's not a win for anyone.

You don't actually need the latter.
Why is this dead? I've read the blog of the author in the past and found it to be inspiring, or at least interesting, because his short stories did the "what could be different?" thing very well.

photopea.com is pretty great and doesn't require you to install anything. Ever since I found it I never used gimp anymore. I'm only use it for light editing though (light touch up, removing background, etc), so I have no idea if it can replace photoshop for professional users.
Love Benjamin Walker’s Theory of Everything as well. Regarding how the podcasts trend will end up, honestly I think big players will try to bring it to the lowest common denominator and will make money but the original imtimate niche type of podcasts will stay the same, labor of love type of thing with various levels of financial success..
No, you're homeless because there isn't enough housing to make it affordable at the market rate. Assuming you're actually homeless.

Yeah, back then there was a huge uproar about the dumb-down and loss of features.
I'm not sure that it is exactly what you're looking for, but the Econtalk podcast (https://www.econtalk.org/) covers a wide variety of economics-related topics. If you listen to it, over time you will come to understand the economic way of thinking.

Also, I don't believe it's possible to get a "quick but comprehensive understanding" of fields as involved and varied as microeconomics, game theory, finance and so on. That's a lot of ground to cover, and it's unlikely that you can do anything other than get a sense of some of the basic ideas in these disciplines in a short amount of time.
More specifically, developers don't have to deal with these issues. They simply create more issues for their users.
The Private Life of Lord Byron
Really? I think we're exiting the era of podcasting at this point. Both my wife and I switched to audiobooks a couple of years ago. We mostly get audiobooks from our local library. What's not available there we get on Audible. If you're going to spend the time, might as well spend it on something better than instantly obsolete drivel made up on the spot.
Capture One looks great but it's way more expensive than Lightroom. Lightroom is $120 a year. Capture One is $500 and $150 for an upgrade between versions or $240 a year.
Cut their income in half and get 1.5 million which is 0.008% of PG&E's income. Then those three SVPs will leave and you will need to hire three more which won't be cheap. How much do you think a SVP in a company making 18 billion a year should be paid? That sounds like a lot of responsibility to me and the people qualified for the job will expect to be compensated accordingly. Anyway, I doubt you would come out in the green at the end of this pointless exercise.
You should check out the commerce clause of the Constitution, I think you're in for a big surprise!
They try not to, but it certainly seems like Notarization is more to be able to disable malware after it's detected than preventing it from being signed at all.
I'm actually a little sympathetic at this point. How can you be expected to spend money fixing problems when the fines and lawsuits in the aftermath of the last crisis have bankrupted you?

Obviously ideally they never should have let maintenance get so neglected in the first place, but here we are... how do we get out of this hole?

I'm of the opinion that the state should assume ownership of PG&E in exchange for bailout money, just as was done with some banks a decade ago. Use public funds to stop the bleeding and make headway on fixing the problems that caused all this in the first place. If that means drastic leadership changes, so be it. Once PG&E is back on its feet and has proven it can be responsible, the shares owned by the state can be sold back to the public, presumably for a tidy profit.

We should also examine the regulatory environment around all this to figure out what contributed to the current state of affairs, and try to set up PG&E's next incarnation for success.

Another interesting option could be to strip PG&E for parts, and let smaller municipalities (city, county, region) buy up the infrastructure, take care of repairs (likely with funding support from the state), and run in perpetuity in a more distributed manner. I imagine there are certain efficiencies in having ownership more centralized in theory, but clearly that hasn't worked in CA for decades.
Great story! Thx for sharing :)
Stallman on GCC, LLVM, and Copyleft (2014)
Ironically (I cannot seem to word this in my mind without sounding like an ass so please don't take offense), your comment is about 10 lines long on my 15 inch laptop making it somewhat difficult to read for us vision readers. A double new line every few sentences which causes a paragraph on hacker news makes it much easier.
Apps that you currently have will not break, as they will not be quarantined. The requirement helps developers of apps that will be downloaded in the future.
Countries enforcing locally can apply tariffs to foreign companies violating emissions.
I think it's really just a numbers game. Of the thousands of people reading any comment, there's always going to be someone who for whatever reason doesn't interpret it in the obvious way. It's more likely for random reasons (e.g. not paying attention) than somehow characterological (e.g. not getting sarcasm).
So the salaries of the VPs of Human Resources or Finance should be cut? Anyway, most their salary is probably in stock options so it's already happened.

It wasn't a one-and-done deal between Kissinger and Mao on the first visit. While I think it's fair to assess the US's 1972-(2016? 2017?) policy toward China as regrettable overall, blame must also be put on the Carter (giving the PRC a waiver on the Jackson-Vanik amendment, 1980), Reagan (continuing those waivers), Bush Sr. (rejecting repeated Congressional motions to end that waiver after Tiananmen Square, 1989 and every year of the '90s), and Clinton (permanent normal trade relations, 2000) administrations. Successive administrations seemed to be fairly consistent on keeping China's access to US and world markets intact.
Interesting. Accessibility sounds like an important indexing signal for search engines. At internet scale companies this seems pitch-worthy to discuss building some training data annotated and building out some automated indexing engine for accessible only filter for results.

Even counting Wal Mart as a grocer (and it is -- the biggest grocer, of course), if you drew a 190 sq mi rectangle centered on Lula, you wouldn't hit any of those Wal Marts.
My understanding is South Park create the episode on the fly and deliver it to Comedy Central hours before airing it. They don't get any time to review it.
For those in the Bay Area, a pretty great local spot is The Junction, out in the wilderness between San Jose and...Livermore. Take 130 east out of SJ over some pretty rustic and gorgeous hill country, past the observatory, and eventually you get to this wooden shack where you can get some good homecooked mac n cheese from a tray, homemade hot sauces, etc, play some horseshoes out front, and generally forget you're a quick drive back to the valley of scrum
Arbitrary programs cannot use de facto credentials.
As a former MOTU engineer who worked on the software side of the new interfaces, the built-in web server was really about cross-device and multi-user access, not avoiding CoreAudio. We still had to write CoreAudio server plug-ins for Thunderbolt and proxy the web server through the driver as well.

I hear they are planning to update their 32-bit drivers for the older MIDI and audio interfaces with the exception of the PCIe devices. (There are no existing Macs that can run Catalina and the old PCIe interfaces with the exception of the new Mac Pros, but there will be no driver so...)
Specifically, you can turn on VoiceOver on Mac with Command+F5.

Windows also has a built-in screen reader called Narrator. On Windows 10 version 1703 or later, you can turn it on with Control+Windows+Enter. As of version 1903, it works reasonably well with Chrome, Edge (both Chromium-based and legacy), and IE. Another popular option on Windows is the open-source NVDA (https://www.nvaccess.org/).

Disclosure: I'm a developer at Microsoft, on the Narrator team, but as usual, I'm posting on my own behalf.
Very few applications opt in to the macOS sandbox outside of the App Store.
Mildly amusing. I definitely find this a little annoying too.

If you make the browser window narrower the eye has a lot less trouble moving from the end of one line back to the start of the next.

I like wide screens because they make it better for having two apps side by side, rather than one app full width .
It'll be interesting to see if Adobe is subject to and loses lawsuits outside of the US for this. (And perhaps in the US too, considering Section 1(c) of the order specifically says it doesn't apply to any contract or license that predated the order)

Presumably they have a lot of assets outside of the US which could be taken to recoup losses here.

Adobe is an unethical company that should have had its charter revoked almost a decade ago ago for its participation in the multi-billion dollar unlawful wage fixing scheme. It's hard to feel bad on Adobe's behalf for difficult situation created by the confluence of their user-hostile licensing practices and US foreign policy.
There’s some perverse outcomes to the ADA, like a few percentage of the population being disabled costing access to tens of thousands of college lectures for everyone else — because making the videos compliant all the ways required was too expensive.

If you need more line spacing, then you can tell your browser to do that. Either a few minutes with userContent or an extension like https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/line-height-adjust...

And long lines are trivially helped by making the window less wide.

So you've provided a good demonstration about how vastly easier things are to adjust for someone that can see.
Great insight although some information is missing like why the MingZu policy changed. At least you mentioned the old MingZu policy which most western journalists hide intentionally or unintentionally to match their narrative based on their beliefs. The real issue is quite complicated and might not be clear after decades.
China is already doing this. They threatened Qantas, Delta and other airlines that they would ban their aircraft from Chinese airspace unless their websites were changed to show Taiwan as part of China. They also blocked the Marriott website in China when Marriott included Taiwan as a separate country in a customer questionnaire.

Why are you working?
What's motivating you?
Is there something else you'd rather be doing?

If the first two are to survive or make money. Maybe that's the issue. You can probably find something that doesn't burn you out and still pays okay. The trick would be to find something fulfilling. For that you're going to need to do some serious reflection and try to figure out what drives you, what gets you up in the morning.

Wow this is super interesting.
It's pretty obvious that parents are getting older and older. It has been theorised that the association of increasing paternal age with risk of autism is related to more de novo mutations in sperm (which continues to be generated throughout a male's life time, and thus acquires more mutations with age).

This sounds like some kind of trans-generational trap, where each generation of older and older parents has children with more and more de novo mutations which increases the risk of deleterious effects. This concept is not at all proven [1]. But this work shows that it isn't so simple in any case, and age has much less impact in some families.

[1] There are some crackpots (often with a racist or misogynistic agenda) that think this kind of effect will lead to the collapse of humanity, and try to justify what essentially amounts to eugenics to deal with it.
Here's a visualization I made of the Saturn system with an option to highlight the newly discovered moons:

https://typpo.github.io/spacekit/examples/saturn/index.html

Besides the 20 new moons, I find it interesting that there are 8 "lost" moons. These are objects observed as far back as 2004 - but their current locations are unknown.
