Saying that lifting hundreds of pounds 5 times is the only way to get strong and measure of strength is one dimensional thinking. The natural progression from that is to lift heavier and heavier in contrived scenarios. That strength doesn’t transfer into other skills. Power lifting is a specialization. Few power lifters can do calisthenics staples such as muscle ups, flags, and front levers.

So, since the barbell method is not the only type of strength I stand by my assertion that SS is not a good program. Linear progression is dangerous. Within 8 months, a beginner will be hoisting hundreds of pounds in their squats and deadlifts. Not all of them will have proper form, and it just takes a small lapse in the biomechanical alignment to do lasting damage. Proper form is not something you can learn and enforce through a book or YouTube videos.

Then you might say that to do SS properly you should get advice on form and a personal trainer. This is a no true Scotsman argument: Anyone who gets injured did NOT follow the program properly.
So here's a hypothetical scenario. Car drives kids to school (in my experience, school tends to start before work). Drives back empty to pick up parent to drive to work. In the afternoon, car drives (empty) to pick up kids and drive them home, then drives (empty) back to work to pick up the parent. Half the time it's empty.

The real question is, why does the air cleaner, which is usually just a fan blowing through an activated charcoal filter, cost $400 in the first place? There’s a market to disrupt, surely.

Why would anyone shoot an intruder on commercial premises? Is that ever legal? I know homes are different in the US, but would a security guard ever literally see someone they didn’t recognise, draw their gun, and just execute them like that?

> "Runaway stabilizer. Condition: uncommanded stabilizer trim movement occurs continuously."

Thank you for the reference.

Having it repeatedly come on and run is runaway trim. Trying to interpret the meaning of "continuous" makes for great courtroom drama, but is unhelpful when you're faced with a crisis. Besides, if the runaway trim was caused by an intermittent electrical short, would you dismiss that as well, too? Or would you turn the sucker off and save your life and let the mechanics sort it out on the ground?

> it's impossible to isolate automated systems without losing all electric assist.

The column electric trim switches override all other trim inputs. That's why the procedure is as follows:

Boeing Emergency Airworthiness Directive

"Initially, higher control forces may be needed to overcome any
stabilizer nose down trim already applied. Electric stabilizer trim can be
used to neutralize control column pitch forces before moving the STAB
TRIM CUTOUT switches to CUTOUT. Manual stabilizer trim can be
used before and after the STAB TRIM CUTOUT switches are moved
to CUTOUT."

> Unloading code is a good and useful thing to do.

Why? What are you doing that requires unloading code?
I work at a small company - maybe 40 engineers. Our app is still a monolith, but we have secondary systems for processing data and communicating with external systems. It's not the most elegant thing ever engineered, but it's not bad given our security and compliance requirements.

I mention all this to illustrate that we are nowhere near NetAppAmaGooSoft scale. Nevertheless our deployment is complex. We can't just have a few hundred identical machines. There are many heterogenous parts, and they have to be hooked up to each other. We currently do this with ~20K lines of HCL applied with Terraform. It's mostly written by some hella-smart infra engineers, and is very well factored.

Still, it's a BEAST. The Terraform Enterprise workflow is tedious, and writing configuration is a lot of work. We would love to replace it, with ...something better. There are alternatives out there, but nothing that's obviously much better. It wouldn't be worth the migration effort. As far as I can tell, this is the state of the art, and it sucks.

My coworkers are sick of hearing me say "We are not Google", so I'm sympathetic to the YAGNI argument, but there really is a problem here. Flat YAML files would be a nightmare for us. I bet there are a lot of companies out there that have worse solutions than we do. The default of "each team rolls their own ad hoc deployment tools" masks it somewhat because it's not obvious that the company has 17 solutions to the same problem, with varying levels of effectiveness and reliability, all of which are expensive to write and maintain, and none of which will be reused when a new team gets organized.

Terraform is a valiant attempt to solve the problem with middling results. We can do better, and we need more attempts! I'm excited that CUE exists. It's not ready for my use case yet, but it's very promising. The best thing about it is that it scales well, up and down. If you have simple needs, you can just write flat CUE to start. It's just JSON with some syntax sugar. The fancy stuff can come later, but it's there when you need it.

Some docker registries isolate the layer cache per account to prevent cache poisoning attacks and data leaks. This means you might only take advantage of the registry caching if you have already pushed the first version of a tagged image.

If you want to get extremely small docker images you might also want to take a look at Google's distroless images and using mutlistage builds.
Thanks for this explanation. I hadn't really thought to much about the heritability aspect - even though I had heard of it some years back... this is a good nugget of thought on psychopathy and how it may perpetuate it self...
It's also highly possible that robotaxi companies would incentivize efficient use of their vehicles in order to drive costs down (and increase profits).
I was a Standard Notes user, including a premium plan, but recently switched to Joplin and I've been very happy with it.

I like Standard Notes' no-nonsense business model, with the downside that the free version is heavily feature-crippled (not even a Markdown editor, just plain text).

The Standard Notes server is self-hostable, but it requires a dedicated backend server [0] which was more hassle than I wanted to deal with. Joplin integrates much more nicely with Syncthing for self-hosted but still peer-to-peer replication.

That is activation mapping. I understood that what he was suggesting is using another objective that is optimized to define why network decided what it did. But need loss function for that

For let’s say identifying a car we could come up with a labeled dataset that not only has classes but also different parts of the car labeled that we think differentiate car from a motorcycle or a whatever. Then model has to output both class and also segmentation or bounding boxes of the parts

Then we combine both losses from these outputs and train.

I tried using unet by attaching layers to it in different ways to interpret the segmentation. I could not get it to work well though
> Recognition data - Evernote images, in particular scanned (or photographed) documents have recognition data associated with them. It is the text that Evernote has been able to recognise in the document. This data is not preserved when the note are imported into Joplin. However, should it become supported in the search tool or other parts of Joplin, it should be possible to regenerate this recognition data since the actual image would still be available.

This is the feature that has me locked in to Evernote and no one else seems to have. I'll be watching this repo and jump over as soon as it becomes supported.
This essay is a cautionary tale, more than a writing about the political influences of early computer culture.
Yes, pragmatic and practical are directly opposed to clever or creative thinking. The trick is to know when to apply each one, and to apply enough of the former to have time for the latter.

In every application or machine I write code for, there is typically one, sometimes two, really interesting problems. But there are innumerable bits of boring business logic to implement along the way. You sometimes need to be willing to have a method copy-pasted with trivial changes in three places (which bothers me sometimes, thinking it would be better to have one method with a parameter to select between the variations) in order to have time to develop an extensible, adjustable, clever solution somewhere else.
I don't know a single person using Cortana, so it's not a surprise I guess. At least the push to use it in Windows will finally go away... A bit too late I have migrated to Ubuntu earlier this year... Puting an end to 20 years of Windows on my computer.

Farewell Microsoft.
It's an attractive idea. Another project I've been considering is implementing a unified buffer cache in OpenBSD. It's just really hard to find motivation to do stuff like that when user counts are so low and you still risk running into "culture of no"-related roadblocks.

Likely true. The average worker, though, doesn't want exposure to risk. The risk is almost purely downside for the average worker. Even "making tougher decisions faster and earlier" is a pretty shitty deal for a worker, in that they're going to be cast aside on a whim. And startups come with little to no upside risk to compensate for the downside risk (I say this as someone who's been bitten by shitty startup shenanigans).

Probably if Google were broken up we'd see many more and more successful startups, for reasons of funding and talent (and the end of the tendency for Google to make some halting inroad into a niche only to abandon it because of internal politics). That doesn't translate into a better experience for workers though.
> Some docker registries isolate the layer cache per account to prevent cache poisoning attacks and data leaks.

Are there ones that don't that you know of? This will be for an intranet registry, so the isolation doesn't buy much.

Thanks! re:the other suggestions, I will look into those.
As with all things in economics, it’s not a free lunch. The cost of credit has already been priced into everything you buy. In this case, you can choose to make a small amount of money in exchange for some headache of making sure payments go on time, or leave it alone. If everyone eventually takes 2% rewards, instead of using debit cards and plain cards, the cost of credit in your purchases will rise from about 1.8% to 2.8%.
So just write in C++ and don't use the parts you don't like. I've never understood the almost-reflexive aversion to C++ you see in some low-level circles. If you don't want huge Java-style class hierarchies, don't make them. If you don't want templates to bloat your code, use templates sparingly and take advantage of type erasure. You can make a C++ program look like anything you want.
How many billions upon billions upon billions did NASA waste on the Space Shuttle. NASA would be able to fund a hundred times their current projects if they’d simply kept the Saturn, never mind if they’d invested in reusable vehicles.
If you can get all of your images on the same machine to use the same base, you’ll get somewhere. Being careful of layer order, using a script to run the most disk-intensive layers also helps.

I’m having okay luck with alpine base images right now, but app versions are less flexible.
A simple example from work (though ours is in Java): providing a plugin interface, where the plugins can be updated to a new version by the user without taking down the whole server. (And yes, we've had our share of class loader leaks, I personally fixed a couple of them.)
Thank you! I've learned a lot and I'm glad I asked here :)
Generally speaking commercial security will not shoot you unless they have no other option. When you start talking courthouses and other government facilities where the people carrying guns more or less have government granted immunity if they use them in questionable circumstances all bets are off. You could get a normal security guard or you could get the ex-police officer who got kicked out of real policing for being too violent too often (whereas that guy would never be able to maintain employment in private security).
I do the same thing, and it’s amazing how much it helps. It’s like you don’t want to lose the feeling you remember when seeing the item, but the item itself is completely irrelevant.

I've been wondering if CUE's graph unification idea could be used as a type system for Nix. It might be hard to square with the way nix does overlays and overrides. It's a very common thing to take some existing derivation and produce a tweaked version. That might not work with graph unification.

Yes, frankly I find most of you to be a bunch of wusses who lack all ability to reason because you haven't been taught history. I think this goes way beyond the threat that Facebook and Google present. I think we are facing global totalitarianism.

Technology can make or break the human race. Technology is cold and cares not at all for what the outcome will be. The same as the Terminator wouldn't pity you or me dying in any way at all.

Those features may look like they're part of the S3 "service", but they're actually separate services built on top of S3, grouped into the S3 API namespace but hitting separate higher-abstraction-layer microservices that themselves make S3 API requests to accomplish their task.

The fact that all of those services that seem to be "a part of" S3 can be implemented on top of S3, without touching the code of S3 at all, and without the higher-abstraction-layer code having to reimplement any of the S3-layer logic to do its job, is precisely what makes S3 a well-factored service.

The format wasn’t particularly great even to someone who’s interested in the field and familiar with dynamic taint analysis (but not an expert :) ). The issue was that it focused a bit too heavily on showing what their product could do, so it had a lot of videos instead of a more tractable “our taint analysis tool shows that the lower four bits of this byte come from byte three of the PE header after it’s passed through x, y, and z”. (Page table entries are used to implement virtual memory, though expanding the acronym at least once would have been helpful. That being said, the code mentions page tables multiple times.)
Driving is the only time I use voice control.
GCR boasts it has a global layer cache. Also, this is a thing that should only ever effect your very first push. You should only be seeing it twice if:

1. None of your image layers are the same between builds (ADD as one of the first instructions for instance)

2. You are distributing your code to many people and they are building them into entirely separate accounts. (you send me your code and I build, tag, and push it to my dockerhub account).
I've seen a friend use it while driving. Seems painfully obvious and yet I still refuse to use it while driving. Instead I just don't phone for that time.
I use a voice assistant in my home occasionally, to control lights and music.

They throw the switch that turns off automatic trim. That the automatic trim system is going nuts due to some new system (MCAS) they don't know about as opposed to it going nuts for one of the reasons it might do so on earlier planes doesn't matter.
I know that it is popular in data science because they need to track more things. Because:

1. All collaboration requires that collaborators are able to recreate a shared version of reality

2. This means version controlling all the things

3. For 'normal' software teams it's often ok to do this for just code and environment, hence git + docker

4. But for data science teams they need to worry about more variables; code, environment, training + test data, hyper-parameters, summery statistics...

GitLFS allows teams to track training and test data (up to 2GB unless you run your own server IIRC) which removes a lot of the headaches around building tooling to tie all these variables together with, for example, Git + Docker + S3.

Dotscience.com is a good example of a project trying to solve this neatly.

TBH. It’s more the governments fault. These local jurisdictions are constantly undergoing terrorism training from the state and federal governments. When I was a firefighter we constantly trained for NBC and other types of terrorist attacks and were required to have a mandatory amount training regarding other types of incidents that could all be caused by terrorism. It’s been a basically constant drumbeat by the state and federal governments since September 11.

And honestly the pentest company should have thought twice before conducting this type of test on September 11th. Any anniversary date of a major terrorist attack is a potential day of a second copycat attack.
