> In both cases you have a predetermined finite set of rational numbers

Neither Scheme nor Raku does this (Scheme uses unbound numerator and denominator in its default rational type, Raku has unbound numerator.)

> I do not see how this is a matter of precision

It's an issue of precision because exact rationals precisely represent the numbers expressed in decimal literals and provide exact (as opposed to approximate with floating point) arithmetic operations, though, to be fair, Raku’s choice of Rat instead of FatRat as the default has some warts in arithmetic.

Yeah, we intentionally omitted edge crossings. There's prior research in dealing with them and those approaches work well (and are clever), so we thought it wouldn't be terribly useful for us to re-invent that part. The papers are linked in the blog post near the end where we compare our approach with previous attempts.

We've then concentrated on different segmentation strategies (the other approaches started with a sensible binarization of the image, which precludes color-based segmentation), as well as getting visual characteristics right, such as shape and color. The algorithms still don't handle cases well where features are much larger than we expect (e.g. photos are very different than screenshots). That'd be certainly an area of improvement.

Our data set is ... basically most of what the screenshots in the article show (one of them opens an album with more images). We didn't have time for a thorough testing of thousands of different graphs. That's something we'd certainly have to do if we'd want to publish anything ;-)

> Mr Assange’s health has been seriously affected by the environment that he exposed himself to

Fuck you.
My understanding (based on reporting [1]) is that the Obama administration was very much on the fence about prosecuting Assange, largely because they were concerned about political blowback and precedent that it might set for prosecuting journalists. The added blowback from using the Swedish rape charge as a "backdoor" extradition would have made the case politically even more charged. So there was a view that, while extradition was possible, it was so politically fraught that Assange had a pretty good chance of walking away from it. This was also a time when Wikileaks/Assange was relatively more popular, since they weren't perceived as taking a partisan interest in an election outcome [2].

Then Donald Trump got elected and Assange was doomed.

I understand you feel Swedish law is too harsh on this, but surely that is besides the point since Assange was in Sweden at the time of the alleged crime? It doesn't really matter if his actions qualifies as rape in any other country or not if they do in Sweden (which was for the courts to decide).

Which crimes exactly? Folloing a link from above:

>Strangely, however, the women themselves never claimed to have been raped, nor did they intend to report a criminal offence. Go figure. Moreover, the forensic examination of a condom submitted as evidence, supposedly worn and torn during intercourse with Assange, revealed no DNA whatsoever — neither his, nor hers, nor anybody else’s. Go figure again. One woman even texted that she only wanted Assange to take an HIV test, but that the police were “keen on getting their hands on him”. Go figure, once more.

I dunno. I've gotten my kids a lot of LEGO and the new sets are really high-part-count but it's tons and tons of fiddly little short bricks, mostly, to build relatively small sets. All I can figure is they went overboard with CAD and/or started letting too many "pro" types who care more about the finish of the final result than the building experience run the show. I pull out old sets of mine with similar part counts and they're huge by comparison, and building them's more satisfying because you can almost always tell what you're building and why it's put together that way. Much nicer.

The good thing is they've started shipping brick tools in the bigger sets—they may have to given how many fiddly little bits they include now—and extras of some of the smallest or most breakable pieces, which is nice. But otherwise they're not half as fun to build as sets. And the parts are less useful in general building (for young kids, anyway, maybe useful for the "pro" sorts) because they're mostly tiny pieces. Kit-bashing with them kinda sucks (again, at "amateur" levels of skill, I know there are real brick artists out there who work magic), better to just get generic brick buckets or use parts from older sets.

And I'm talking about 6-12 year old targeted lines here, not any of the fancier sets aimed at older kids and adults. Elves and normal town sets and stuff like that.

[EDIT] examples:

6086, Black Knight's Castle, 569 pieces, 12 minifigs

41188, Breakout from the Goblin King's Fortress, 696 pieces, 4 minifigs

And the former is ~2.5x the size of the latter. I can tell you from experience that the latter is too tiny and intricate for even little-kid hands to play with it very well. It's a nightmare of itty bitty pieces to put together something that looks slick on box art but sucks IRL.

"Oh, but that castle's like ~$150-170 inflation-adjusted while the Goblin King's Fortress is only ~$70"

Well, that's not my point, but OK.

6075, Wolfpack Tower, 232 pieces, 4 minifigs

About the same size as the Goblin King fortress when assembled, only ~30% the part count, same number of minifigs, originally $30 so at or under the price of 41188 inflation-adjusted. Definitely does look worse on box art, granted, but holds up to play better, is far easier to put back together if it gets damaged without doing a tear-down and re-build from scratch, and has spaces sized right to support play. It's a better set to play with.
This is an evolution of the original Vyatta system. There are several things that are quite different than the old system.

1.) All traffic is now forwarded with a custom DPDK based dataplane.
2.) The configuration and operational infrastructure are both new compared to Vyatta.
3.) We have cleaned up the implementation of the CLI, formalized a scripting API, added NETCONF support, and opened up the REST API.
4.) The dataplane has support for programming hardware and a plugin is provided to support the UFiSpace S9500-30xs on top of Broadcom's OpenNSL.
5.) We support AAA using either on device RBAC rules or TACACS+ as is a common need in the networking industry.
6.) We sandbox operator and admin users so they can't change they system without going through the infrastructure.
7.) We added a new mechanism for integrating features that is cleaner than the old Vyatta mechanism.

There are some similarities with the old Vyatta system, via a compatibility layer, and we didn't do a big replace of every feature so a good portion of the supporting integration will look familiar.

From my memory, "tl;dr" used to be a response to a long post that was supposed to be an insult, like "do you really expect me to read all of that crap?".

As a white man I feel you're being extremely sensitive here.

You've taken a small part of the article seemingly out of context. The author is talking about well meaning but ultimately useless advice from those with the financial means to support themselves indefinitely while they travel or relax. While a generalisation, the ability to build up a cushion of 'fuck you money' tends to correlate with being from a generation with higher job security, (in the UK) free higher education, no dependents to support, etc.

I don't know when everyone got so sensitive to understanding their own privilege vs other people. I'm in my third month off and have been travelling for the last month as well without having to work. I'm exceptionally lucky, I have no dependents to support, free accommodation at my parents, etc, etc. Instead let's imagine I'm a care leaver or my parents had caring needs or I had a child to support or medical/student debt or whatever it might be, I'd have continued to endure burnout until it likely killed me.

Certainly my life has its own challenges, depression, health troubles etc, but compared to most people I've won the lottery.

Anyway, that aside, I hope you're doing well and staying burnout free!
Shenmue III Released
The strange thing about Stadia is that not only is Google making an impractical product that people don't want, but so are Sony and Microsoft. It's like the "race" to 5G or the "race" to AI, but in this case there is no prize -- you expect any hardware from Google to be a lost cause, even Microsoft has had good luck selling mice, but Sony is serious about hardware so how did they get caught up in it?

The one real advantage I see is that if you want to livestream a game it is probably more efficient to stream the game down to the player and then pipe the stream into a CDN for everyone else than it is to upload the stream and then pipe it into a CDN.

Maybe you could make a game like Titanfall or Fortnite that runs on some monster server in the cloud and hypothetically eliminates the need to share state across a network, but I think you're trading one set of problems for another set of problems.

I used to have two Sunrays and a SPARC Solaris server in my cubicle, we were hoping to use them for kiosks at a large university library (might have bought 200+) but we couldn't compile Mozilla for Solaris and all of the other browsers available for Solaris were either too old or looked like somebody's science experiment.

Today there is a real market for desktop virtualization. The Bridgewater hedge fund has switched to desktop virtualization because they are paranoid MoFo's who (1) are worried about the physical destruction of their headquarters and (2) don't want employees walking out with a laptop full of secrets.

Stadia to me may not be ready yet, but I have no doubt in the future this is how we will be gaming.

Once bandwidth is ubiquitous enough to stream 4K games at 60 FPS without having to INSTALL anything or even OWN A GAMING PC/CONSOLE, this is a no brainer.

Why shell out for a new 2080TI card when you can just pay another month to Stadia and let them handle all the hardware to run Red Dead Redemption 2 at 4k 60 FPS?

No downloading a 150 GB game, no patching, no constant hardware upgrading, no having to go back in your catalog and reinstall everything if you get a new system. They are all there and you just "press start".

I realize Stadia currently does not run RDR2 at 4k and 60 FPS. But it will once the hardware and bandwidth landscape catches up.
Because one app is more used doesn’t mean other apps aren’t useful.
Seems to me that it would be very good for people who have fiber connections at home and are close to a Google datacenter (or just don't care about latency), and want to enjoy gaming on a high-end GPU without having to pay for it and own a physical desktop computer (perhaps because they don't have the budget, or play games rarely, or buying a desktop computer is hard or uncomfortable for them).

What recent thing has Google brought to the table that actually stuck?
They wouldn't get to deduct the costs of importing those raw materials, but they would get to deduct the costs (labour, probably) of refining them and making something out of those raw materials. And if they sell back to the country they imported raw materials from, they get to deduct the raw material costs from those profits (assuming that country uses a similar scheme).

But you're right, for a company that makes their revenue in a different country than where they make their costs, it's effectively a tax on revenue. So it would encourage countries to make their costs in the same countries where they sell. It might stop companies from moving all their jobs to low-wage countries.

I admit raw materials would be an issue; those are not equally available everywhere. But at the same time, it would effect every company in that industry equally, so I don't think the end result would be that much of a problem. I guess it'd discourage extracting raw materials from poor countries. Would that reduce their exploitation by western companies, or would that deny them the exports they need to grow their economy? I don't really know.
I recently was watching a stream where the topic was playing bootleg versions of games on an Android tablet. Instead of microtransactions, many of the games would forcefully stop the game and prompt the user to install TikTok in a way that looked impossible to avoid. This definitely seems to imply that TikTok is directly paying for installs and gives me doubt about their organic growth.

Nah it does not work in such way.

Mathematically speaking, even if the mugger can propose an infinite large return in this situation, a kelly better would not bet more than 0.1% (= p = 1 / 1000) of his wealth.

It's very sound mathematics and nothing mystifying.

Edit: A Kerry better thinks in term of a long running sequence of bets. If you all of your wealth just because the game is favorable, you'll eventually lose all of your capital with probability one (in other words, betting everything minimizes the expected value of your wealth in long term). The natural conclusion here is that you need to bet a fraction of your wealth to maximize your long term wealth. But how much? Kelly criterion answers this queation formally. Read the Wikipedia article (or better, read Kelly 1956. It's a good paper) for how it handles the question.
