Have you tried installing pi-hole on your network?

I recently did it and was stunned at the amount of phoning home from Roku, both telemetry and ads to serve.

After blocking the calls home with PiHole my Roku's performance also improved considerably

That's true for almost any nontrivial transcendental algebraic or differential equation. Special functions to solve special cases are the norm.

We could repeat the same discussion at a lower level. Suppose you tell a bright middle schooler about the basics of integration, and the power rule. Then they ask,

"So what's the integral of 1/x? It can't be x^0/0..."

"That's a special case. It's a function called "natural logarithm", ln(x)."

"But what's the definition of that weird function?"

"It's defined to be the integral of 1/x." [0]

"That's pretty asinine..."

These are pretty bold claims. I'm not sure if a single communication from 15 years ago is enough to to build such a relationship. Please note, that any claims about "cancer" in general are hard to make, because they have such variety of phenotypes.
That would have been super useful to me. I am not in America, but in the country, where I am staying, letters from the tax office is always a source of some sort of anxiety because I simply don't understand the numbers and the consequences of what they are writing to me.

Probably too late for me now. I hired an accountant a few years ago, but I would like to be on top of that stuff myself.

Funny how I can build complicated big data analysis tools, but when I am presented with a single page of tax numbers, I just shut down. I have often thought if there is some sort of medical term to describe this thing.

Regarding only natural light, what would be the ideal latitude region for psychology year-round?

At 30°N and 30°S days swing between 10 hours to 14 hours through a year. Would it be ideal to live in between 30°N and 30°S, or would you expand/shrink the range?

ps. Any resources on geography-psychology relationships would be appreciated.

Makes sense to use slower, low energy freight instead of deliverin cargo ASAP only for it to sit idle in warehouses afterwards. All that speed with the emission penalty is wasteful as the article describes.

Barges are cheap and slow too but going down river and letting consistent currents do the heavy lifting with a certain regimented cargo means haste becomes irrelevant. Going against the current (or wind) then generates the energy penalty, especially with returning freight.
Yes. While there’s arguments to be made against those laws, it seems to be relatively harmless to allow the government to be the arbiter of truth in a few limited situations where the truth is fairly easy to ascertain.

(What’s that you say? The truth of claims about the medical efficacy of drugs are actually hard to ascertain? That’s true, but you’ll note that the standard of truth required by law is easy to ascertain — the question is not whether your drug cures cancer but whether you’ve gone through a specific FDA-approved process to test whether it does, and passed.)
Potentially similar story at an earlier stage: Oyo, a budget hotel chain from India.

They raised 1.7 B, mostly from Softbank, and are now getting in the vacation rentals space in Europe.

Their approach is unclear.
I spoke to their representatives and it seems unclear for them too.

Nothing seems to make sense in what they are doing in this vertical.

The only logical explanation seems that they are trying raise the valuation of the brand.

I second this, I’ve been using it more and I really enjoy it. The only thing I would recommend people avoid is the original mastodon instance, since to combat losing market share they’ve been banning instances which sort of defeats the point of the fediverse. But gab and qoto.org are both good imo. You sort of get the close community of a smaller social network but since there’s a large programmer population they tend to build out really robust bot networks too.

Use an on-screen keyboard on the Remote side
Interestingly Ctrl W can actually be captured in Chrome now (on desktop) if the application is fullscreen and they make use of the keyboard lock API. I'm away from my desktop at the moment - can you try it on Chrome? (if you were using another browser). If it doesn't work we should file an issue and suggest they look into the keyboard lock API!
I see that the vibe in the comment section is that this is too harsh. In my opinion, this is too lenient. If you repeatedly break the law DUI-wise, you should have your license revoked.

The whole supporting yourself thing should already be a deterrent from maneuvering a ton of metal at speed on public roads while impaired. Contrary to popular belief, driving is not a right, it's a privilege and I firmly believe that the state should take it away from you if you fuck it up. I don't want to get into the whole gun debate but gun ownership (about which I have mixed feelings) is a right, protected in the US by the constitution. However, there are mechanisms in which a single mistake (unrelated to gun ownership or operating a gun) will have the state take that right away from you. Statistically speaking, based on the number of deaths, a car is more dangerous than a gun. Why aren't we applying the same types of bans? Because Joe Bob can't help himself to downing a couple of beers before driving, I need to share the road with him because he 'must drive' in order to sustain himself? Fuck Joe Bob. He can bike, take the bus or ride a cab.

If driving is essential for a person to be able to sustain themselves then it should be regarded with a much higher attention in the first place, attention which should warn you that drinking and driving is monumentally selfish and dangerous, especially repeating it.

The moment that lies are forbidden is the moment that someone needs to decide the difference between truth and falsehood.

Is that a decree by the state? The result of an expensive and protracted legal process? Do we put it to a vote? Is there a Committee of Truth? A permit system? Digital signatures on all postings, with co-signees and chains of responsibility? Or do we just wind up with he usual weak and unevenly enforced rules, subject to bribery and political influence?

Forbidding speech is a slippery and precipitous slope. A government that aims to protect its people from lies is well on the road to despotism.

Yes, this is the point. It's NP-Hard. If you solve this problem, you can make far, far more money doing something besides routing mechanical keyboards and Internet of Things sensor cruft.

Autorouters have been in development for the last fifty years, starting with wire-wrap machines at Digital, and going on to the work of very, very smart people at Altium and Autodesk. The smartest people in their field have been working on autorouters for decades, and this company wants to solve it with 'the cloud' and 'AI'. Sure, buddy.

150 pairs and 2 layers is abysmally limited for anything but the lowliest hobbyist (read: poorly designed) boards, and there are no examples whatsoever of what this product produces. Like, really, great job for producing a demo to show to investors but you might also want to demonstrate your demo.

Oh, and if you're using machine learning on PCB design, that means you need to train your models somehow. That means your training data is absolute crap, because most designs for Open Source hardware are objectively crap. You would be better off paying someone in China $40 to lay out your board, which would also have a 24-hour turnaround. Which brings me to my next point...
I concur on leveraging console's(Xbox One/PS4) for smart TV functions due to better security and hardware; But the power consumption in using console as smartTV equivalent should be higher.

Xbox One X has excellent power efficiency, it is my preferred way to gaming as I'm extremely conscious about the power consumption of my devices; but Smart TVs do consume lesser power for what they do.
The same goes for auctions, a few years ago I woke up early drove for two hours to go to a heavy machinery auction. There was no parking for buyers onsite but instead had to park in a lot 5 miles away then take a shuttle to the auction. After spending half a day waiting for the dozer I wanted to hit the block, basically trapped there, buying overpriced coffee and vending machine snacks. I was out bid by an online purchaser from a different country, the next time the auction came around I stayed home, bid online and got my machine.

Well, then design a decent paper straw, figure out production/sales/logistics and sell it to me at a cost that won't make a huge difference, since I don't care whether I spent $5 or $15 per year on straws. And if you say it's not realistic, than pick a realistic goal and start working on it.
Roku scares me when I'm watching movies on my Rapsberry Pi. They are .mp4 files. I'm not using their software at all... and about 2 minutes in I get a pop-up "You can view this move elsewhere at XYZ." How do they know what movie I'm watching? They are analyzing the feed. Scary.
That would require knowing you made the post, and since most fake news is generated by anon FB pages, who do you sue?

The answer is nobody. You have no recourse unless you're in the US or one of the few other states that Facebook will listen to.

I'm thankful for not having to witness the slaughter of natives.
Similarly, I’m thankful for my good fortune in going to a high school that offered programming classes; for having enough computer-savviness to become a software developer; that this field is unregulated enough that someone like me can earn an almost-unconscionably-good living doing something that, like you said, would be a hobby anyways. I have my dream job, I have a beautiful son and partner, our family is in good health, and are aware of the areas that we should be working to better ourselves... I just hope to make enough of a positive impact from the incredible head start the universe has given me. I’m thankful for this chance to play the game, and I’m thankful that the game exists to be played.
Alcohol use, itself, does have traits that some are more sensitive to. Alcoholism, though may be the case for many repeat offenders, and is a disease, not really a trait, but a series of traits that are symptoms.

In general, impairment is a trait that does lead to bad decisions, like driving under the influence.
I tried using it to learn Haskell last year. Warning: it gets hard, and you will want to concentrate on the problem solving, not on compiler errors. It definitely helped my Haskell for the first week or two, but then I switched to Python. I like Rust and recently learned it, but honestly doing AoC in it while learning sounds really painful.
I was reading comments here musing that it must be 30 years since I last routed PCBs on a daily basis: auto routers were useless back then and it looks like not much has changed. Not too surprising when you consider how hard a problem it is. Anyone else have the experience of waking up in the middle of the night with the solution for how to get "that last trace" through?

Larry Sanger (co-founder of wikipedia) found SuperMemo/SRS sort of clunky for use with program so he made a program which lets you review more by doing rather than just recalling.

I think rest of what you're after are in large part SuperMemo which I've mentioned elsewhere in this thread. It basically allows the same goal orientation feature through its priority/scheduling system though it lacks managing requisites (aside from just scheduling something to show up later than something else).

I'm not a huge fan of books for 2 reasons:
-they're not information dense (you can get way more information-per-paragraph from a wikipedia article rather than a book)
-they're not very context independent, as in, if I want to understand some specific part of a book I'll likely have to read the entire thing while with internet articles I can read one part and ignore the rest. The main reason this is important is that I can read the parts I find valuable and ignore less valued things. Reading an entire book for one concept that takes 15 chapters to get to isn't great.

With SuperMemo, if there's a book I find interesting I'll generally try to find any alternative wikipedia article first or otherwise some other web article on the same idea. It's just takes so much more time to read and retain a book than to retain a smaller, denser article.
I'm most thankful for the fact that Open Source has given me a relatively successful career for the past 30 years. I always see people disparage OSS saying there is no way to make money from it. I'm not rich, but I can (and do) pick and choose my gigs without sweating the gaps in between nowadays. And 90% of the gigs I do today are by word of mouth alone. Thankfully, because I got way too lazy about my website and I haven't updated my CV in a decade. There is a lot of money to be made in Open Source, but only if you are willing to find (and add to) the value in it. OSS allows me to live in my comfort zone. And besides my career, damn near everything technical in my home is connected in some way or other to OSS. I'm glad the commercial technology is catching up so I don't have to work as hard to build everything from scratch. OSS has been my life blood, and I think it has a whole lot more to show yet before there's any actual threat of it fizzling out.

I would have had to stick to my original dream career (guitar god!) if Open Source didn't happen. But then I'd have to redefine "comfort zone" to something that isn't exactly comfortable.
You can kind of see how they ended up where they did with TR3. With Zen 1 they had Ryzen going up to 8 cores, Threadripper between 8 and 16 and Epyc picking up from there.

For Zen 2 they've got the AM4 Ryzen with up to 16 cores and PCIe 4.0, and Epyc now goes up to 64 but it still starts at 8. Where does that leave for TR3? They got questions about whether they were even going to produce it. If a 16-core Ryzen 9 3950X is $749 and a 16-core Epyc 7302P is $825 then where would you put a 16-core TR3?

It's also possible the new I/O die pushed them to change the socket. Chopping the socket in half to create Threadripper from Epyc is one thing when the socket is already a 4-die package and you can just take two out, but what happens with the new Epyc I/O die which is designed for the whole socket, and could use it even for Threadripper? AM4 and Epyc have all the volume, reworking things like that specifically for compatibility with existing Threadripper boards may not have been worth it. Meanwhile a new socket lets them actually take advantage of the new I/O die to add more PCIe lanes etc.

It stinks that it's not compatible but it smells more like hard trade offs than malice.
Yes kind of like a train but without disrupting the land below so much. Maybe much faster to install too.

I have a lateral question about Singapore. Everything I have read about the country says that it is one of the best in the world for business and, in particular, startups. Yet some of the commentary here leads me to believe there's a dark side to the reality of this nation.

Anyone with first hand knowledge care to comment on this?

I am puzzled because it so happens we might have to do some business in Singapore and a friend was telling me about the business/startup environment. I did a bunch of research and found articles with nothing but praise. Is the truth more nuanced than this?
Nothing surprising here. This is why all manufacturing has moved to China. SW engineers in the US get so much not because they are so smart, but because (1) the company have to pay premium to keep the IP private and (2) they can work on-site or within the US boundaries. All software that has little value by itself or can't be stolen has been outsourced to India. This even happened in Boeing: their software can't be meaningfully stolen, so they happily outsourced it. Edit: The same applies to lawyers, doctors, bankers and all white collar jobs. The pay is so high is mostly because of where you work, not what you do. Have fun trying to get that $400k/year as a divorce litigator in India.
Awesome idea!!!

My own experience is that the Peter principle is outdated. People don’t rise vertically anymore: they rise horizontally.

Instead of working their way up within a single institution, they make lots of “lateral” transfers.

The government/lobbyist revolving doors are a good example, but not the only one. How many tech workers go back and forth between big tech companies and startups, each time rising more than if they stayed put?

It creates an administrative class that has little commitment to the institutions they “serve”, and an overly valued senior class that is able to run out the door, taking the company with it.

Meanwhile people who stick with the same company - often for reasons beyond their control - end up in “lower management” positions at best.

BTW, my own experience with executives is that most have a sales or engineering background. Very few, of any, have a background in true middle management background (HR, accounting, governmental compliance, etc.)

One of the consequences might be that if you say a lie about someone else, they will sue you for libel. And in an ideal world, the lie would be discovered and you'd lose that suit. So asking a user on facebook to remove a lie, then asking facebook to remove that lie, sounds like a fair thing to do in a "real" democracy.

I agree completely, but we are talking about the case when they are trying to silence a lie. That's different than critics.
