Yeah, anyone who's had a brass casing land down the back of their neck can attest to how much water heat they draw away from the weapon.

I also wonder how important the gas exchange caused by the mechanical cycling of the action is to cooling, as most modern rifles are pretty well sealed when in battery.
VPS providers to shut down on Monday
We cannot excpect a private company to continue paying for resources they don't want to.

But giving a "export all the data in xml/json/whatever" button, and maybe even opensourcing the now-abandoned component serving this data, would be nice move. The first part could even become a regulative requirement some day.
I remember the time before Garbage Trucks. Our housing complex had a separate garbage hut with split door. Every month a lorry or horse-driven cart came and men shoveled it empty. It was great fun to watch. Sometimes a rat escaped and there was a competition to kill it. Helsinki City paid good money for rat's tails.
"No, average woman is not attracted to safety of imprisoned males nor to he badness."

Nobody claimed it's "average women" who are attracted to prisoners.

As for speculations, it seems to be a fact that some prisoners manage to form relationships with women. And the article I linked to also states some of the same reasons I speculated about.

What bothers you about it?

" These are not kind of relationship a healthy blind or non blind person wants."

Nobody is saying you should date a prisoner. Just that it seems to happen. That is not a matter of opinion, it is just reality.
Then the steam-button shouldn't say "Buy" but "Rent".

Apple devices are leaking sensitive data over BLE
I wonder whether the people who develop them think "I'm doing good for the world, developing highly targeted killing machines that reduce collateral damage". Perhaps they're even somewhat partially correct in thinking that?
It isn't, I meant it.

And you misuse this word, try googling what it really means.
Reddit has always been a steam hot pile. At least they now managed to get their servers to be overloaded monthly rather than daily
As a side note; I was lucky enough to visit the town from the article, Mestia, a couple of years ago while doing a ski-touring holiday in Georgia and it was a truly remarkable place. Traveling there took hours driving on steep mountain roads which was constantly blocked due to rock slides and snow. When we finally arrived one of the first ting we saw was a wolf walking the outskirt of the town, which the town had a quite clever solution to, packs of gigantic dogs roaming free around the town. The town itself is packed with Svaneti Towers, which is placed on the UNESCO World Heritage list.
So if you get the chance, please visit Svaneti before tourism or/and cypto miners destroys is.

And btw; the skiing was awesome!
"We found that when using features such as Airdop and Nearby, devices emit messages from which email addresses and phone numbers can be extracted. Continuity services allow to seamlessly share resources with nearby devices: Airdrop to share files, Nearby to share Wi-Fi network credential. Prior exchange of information, the devices establish their identity by exchange identifiers over BLE: email addresses and/or phone numbers. Those identifiers are not sent in clear but are rather hashed using a cryptographic hash-function. This obfuscation can be bypassed in most cases and the identifiers recovered."
You have read that incorrectly. A Datalog/Prolog query does not define new rules. That's like calling arbitrary code on remote machines. You would never allow that.

But IF you were allowed to define new rules, THEN you could simulate a turing machine or create infinite reductions.
Its the implementation, not the system fallacy.
At this "scale" a single 3Gbps guaranteed pipe is ~330€/mo on OVH. You could simply buy ten of them just to be sure and still be paying 1/3 a month of what that would cost you for a day in the cloud. That includes all the maintenance and power for the equipment, you simply have to know how to use the OS.
Thanks for getting back to me. In what way does Extinction Rebellion give you hope?
Does anyone have examples of use to share?
In slovenia, that's the "default" option (for mastercard and visa atleast). You need a special "loan mastercard" to be able to do partial pays.
Still requires boilerplate for thunks, which in my case is most redux actions. Also I think you still don't support for specifying same reducer for many actions (for example as an array - https://github.com/piotrwitek/typesafe-actions). The immutable update logic however is amazing and I am glad I got introduced to it by you!

Why? There are libraries that you can use in most programming languages.
I think part of the excitement is the noise. The screeching of the brakes as the truck pulls up and the crash of the rubbish out of the bin. It's a whole performance for the little ones.
In France this is good advice too. If ones doesn't like doing tax things this is generally good advice.

And don't be the cheap client yourself in that regard 120€/hour for a good/excellent freelance accountant, I never want to go back to less experienced/professional/passionate ones.

Some examples:
When you open a one person business in France there is a program to give you a 0% tax rate in the first year, but you need to apply and for that you need to know it exists.

Employing yourself can cost you 70% taxes. At the start when you rates might be low you can pay around 25% with the right corporate structure, instead of up to 45%.

It sparked interest in me to learn about OpenAI GPT-2. I know nothing about GPT so is the following link the best place to start?

Github's api [1] makes sense to me - there are lots and lots of query patterns and the previous Rest api results in quite a bit of link chasing and bandwidth burning.

It would actually be interesting to see if someone could design a very good Rest api for gh-like usage.

I'm a full grown adult and I'm working on self-driving cars. For a special project we had to put amber flashing lights on one. Just like the ones they had on garbage trucks where I have grown up. Totally unreasonably, but I was giddy with excitement when I first turned the lights on. That was probably the closest I will ever get to my childhood dream of becoming a garbage truck driver.
Do the people he’s denouncing actually exist?
They censor or demote lots of things considered inappropriate or illegal in the USA - from child grooming to explosives making instructions to content on polygamy to pornography.

They're well within their rights to do this, and lots of the user base thinks it's a good idea. But it would be nice if alternative platforms with alternative userbases were granted the same.
Is It Worth the Trouble?
That must have been why Jobs immediately shut down lots of innovative engineering-lead projects such as OpenDoc.

I'm genuinely conflicted on whether this is brilliant or a gimmick. I absolutely want people to be able to access a large percentage of museum holdings - ideally, 100% - but this seems like a problem of discovery and digitization. It's not clear what this gadget truly solves that wouldn't be better served by, for example, an augmented reality app.

The only interesting point they make to chew on is that holding a physical object might help people forge stronger bonds with an these artifacts. However, the people most likely to be impacted by this is small children - the same ones that put things in their mouths. Montessori schools are all about manipulatable objects, ideally made of natural materials like wood.

I dunno, this seems noble enough and I don't want to shit on such a clever project. I just fret that 3D printed objects are expensive, breakable, likely to be stolen (accidentally or otherwise) and well, I can't help but feel like all of this is going to end up on the same garbage ship to Liberia some day.

Please, bring me to the other side! I want to love this.

Scraping should be done client side. Like an automated browser. That way credentials never have to leave the user's computer or be shared with third parties.
It’s not so much the perfect being the enemy of the good, as the fundamental point being missed.

The goal is to prevent persistent, cross-generational inequality. High inheritance taxes simply won’t accomplish this. Or even come close.

The only policy that had ever achieved the sort of field-evening you want is a very strong public sector.

Providing quality education, job, opportunities to everyone (or at least lots of people).

A good example is Sweden. Sweden had massive asset-inequality. A handful of families are massively wealthy, and the successfully pass that wealth down generations.

Yet Sweden had little income inequality, because of their strong public services.
I've used Here WeGo in several European countries and it didn't fail me yet. I would use OpenStreetMaps but I couldn't find any OSM app with public transport included as an option.

The most interesting class I took in my entire studies (Soft Matter physics) was also the one with the most interesting exams.

Our year's 2-hour exam was the following. The professor gave us a small cup of water, a piece of paper, and a piece of toilet paper. There was only 2 questions
- place one end of the paper in the water. Describe what happens. Explain
- place one end of the toilet paper in the water. Describe what happens. Explain

The year before us was with a small piece of glass and a small piece of potatoe
- breathe on the glass. Describe. Explain
- rub the potatoe on the glass. Breathe on it. Describe. Explain

You REALLY needed to understand the class material to succeed in these seemingly simple tests
Seems this could be a win-win for China:

- Increases the pressure of the trade war on the US.

- Motivates China's already strong technology industry to develop equivalent specification technology for all components, which it can also sell abroad.

- Removes the possibility of security compromised components from outside China and instead enables China to include its own backdoors wherever it wants.
My daughter (almost 2) doesn't like dolls, fancy hats, jewelry, etc (and neither does her mother); she prefers vehicles ("toot toot") and puzzles. We dressed her neutral (though including some blue and pink at times, also other colours), and sometimes girly (for parties like anniversaries etc).

Oh, and she loves the police/ambulance/fire dept, but most of all, the garbage truck!
The barrier you will find is that while you have built awesome tech, the vast majority of commercial users with "big data" in fact have small data and small consistency and availability requirements, and a mongodb instance works just fine for them, and that's what they'll choose because they don't want the complexity of managing consensus groups or other theoretical compsci stuff.

Make this stuff so it "just works" with a one liner command to get started, and you'll have a commercial success.
This was raised in the Reddit thread, but duck typing really doesn't work when maintaining large or unfamiliar code bases. Explicit "implements" statements are far less cognitive load in those situations.
Some stuff gets pretty advanced. Check out the M134D. Sure it’s 1960’s tech, but it’s still amazing.

A couple of years ago I saw somebody giving a talk, where they demonstrated a CAPCHA-Solving API, with people from India solving the CAPCHAs for a few cents.
Thanks that actually is in my install and looks pretty good!

In recent years I've dealt with naming so little that I end up relying on getent, which is great until it's time to look into anything DNS specific.
Bullshit. Trying to get prices from an insurance company requires hours of time, researching individual billing codes, and at best leads to a ballpark guess.

What exactly are these intermediate values composed of that makes them notable in size compared to the model itself? Are there resources I should read for how a model like this executes?

Could also be a win for Lenovo laptop users if they improve their support for GNU/Linux, including offering it pre-installed. Which is the only option I can see open to them if they are replacing Windows.

We're in a progressive country where gender equality is good and most people are aware to not show bias and offer girls toy cars and stuff.

My takeaway from the past two years is: There is clear gender preference. Boys generally like cars, girls like dolls. Both like books and puzzles.

Of course there are exceptions but the stereotype is a stereotype for a reason.
Newborn babies exhibit differences, by sex and on average, regarding what captures their interests.

EDIT: I looked into this more and could only find studies on 9 months old, which is potentially old enough to argue for socialization, although the studies obviously tried to control for that.
Yea, I thought parameters per compression algorithm should indeed be added in a next version :) more compute but definitely an improvement.
I think pandas doesn't offer zstd as option with csv, but I'll check once more.

EDIT: indeed, it's missing in `to_csv` - seems like an oversight.
In addition to that - the person who kept the money had literally no punishment for doing this. It is my understanding that they simply had to give it back and that's it. Even if they only kept it in a savings account for 2 years that would have generated a non-insignificant amount of interest(so they benefited financially from their crime) yet there is absolutely no punishment for it.

It's all a matter of personal preference, and Rust is just not what I'm looking for in a C++ replacement, I guess. My biggest issue with C++ is the complexity of the language. C++ is a language that fetishizes accidental complexity, making it the center of things, and now it seems that Rust is saying, "hold my beer." Zig, on the other hand, fits my aesthetics pretty much perfectly, although I'm sure that, as with all programming languages, some people would have the opposite preference. As for correctness, one thing I've learned in the years I've been using formal methods is that there are many paths to correctness, and I'm starting to think that even on that front Zig's approach (of dynamic verification) might ultimately prove a better one.

Nobody and nothing lives forever.

For organisations, the best you might be able to do is some kind of co-operative: it's much less likely to sell out (although not impossible), you generally get a vote in how it's run, and since they're forced to be self-funding you're not dependent on VC funding whims. With sufficient runway transparency you can always know how far they are away from shutdown and how much funding they need.

Twenty years ago (!) I helped set up a hosting co-op for university societies: https://www.srcf.net/

One of our specific aims was preserving continuity. Most societies are run by undergraduates who do it for a year or two and leave after 3 years, so making it as easy as possible to handle handover was a key feature. It's done pretty well for something that pre-dates Facebook, Github, Myspace, and even Yahoo Groups itself.
Silicon Valley’s Series Finale Shows How Its Perspective on Technology Changed
Why is Cloudflare a dirty word around here? I'm afraid I'm out of the loop
Here's roughly the latest architecture from QCon 2017 [1][2]. Overall it's because of a bloated React frontend even though there's little to no reactivity on most pages. It could all be replaced with some standard JS and CSS animations. Too many API calls pulling too much data for what's being shown and firing serially as components are loaded instead of getting it in batches for the entire page.

The site lacks basic optimizations like virtual scrolling to keep the browser from crashing after a few pages of content. There are also entire npm packages being pulled in instead of any tree-shaking, or browser-specific polyfills.

The backend is cached by cassandra even though content is highly static and DB servers are fast enough for their denormalized and partitioned schemas. It's basically just a few tables used as key/value for each entity type represented on the site.

You are right FC3 it was.
There's absolutely no legal basis for such a thing, though. Legally it's Yahoo's and they can shut it down and delete it tomorrow. It's only morally that they have an obligation.
Humans (like all animals) are obviously programmed in some way. Babies don't decide to start breathing or suck milk or poop, they're predetermined by their genetic code to do it. The only interesting question is which behavior is programmed and which isn't, not whether there is genetic programming at all.
I think there are three mistakes I'd make:

1. I wasted a lot of time as a freelance web designer trying to get clients and convince them to go with me. I think someone would tell me they wanted a website. Without taking any payment at all, I'd setup a demo website. It wouldn't be a whole lot, but I'd setup at least half the pages with lorem ipsum, only to have them tell me they'd get back to me... or take forever for us to get the website done.

2. I always undervalued my work thinking that they would go to another client. To this day, I still am a culprit of making this mistake. It's not that I should overcharge a client, but for a lot of the bullshit they put you through, back and forth, meetings... etc. I was giving away a lot of free time.

3. A lot of times I'd have clients going into their website and making their own mistakes.. nothing that was my doing.. nothing that even required me, but oftentimes, I'd rush to fix everything for them. Soon as I stopped rushing.. I realized a lot of the time, clients figure it out themselves, especially the usual minor mistakes they'd make.
The stuff stored in the Yahoo groups is material from the beginning of the internet. When people explored what could be possible and how easy is was to connect globally.
You have a valid point, but it's also one of these things in our generation that we have to live with. We explored and tried things. Only now we look back and see what those explorations of our younger selfes really are; sometimes funny, sometimes embarrassing. However, if you are cautious, you may be able to delete your stuff or at least make it anonymous by deleting that said account. If not, you have live with it.
Those of all these people can now learn from it and can educate their kids in being careful with the internet. (Or at least this is what it should be)

The dogma, that "everything posted to the internet will stay on the internet" , may not be entirely true for this first generation, because now large parts are already gone. But I am certain that this will be very true for the current generation, because I really doubt that Facebook and others will ever freely delete large datasets of user content.
Exercising power over other people is a serious thing. It's extraordinarily presumptuous to believe you have designed a rule that will do more good than harm. I'm much more worried about the cognitive bias that says that because someone is currently the decision-maker, they must be competent at it.

Every time one of these discussions comes up, it always seems shocking how bad bank/card mediated transactions are in the US. It's as if you just give your open wallet to anyone. I've just moved to Europe and it feels like I've gone back in time a decade. I can't imagine what it must be like in the US.
It was someone quite high up in the company who was the first to raise in Slack actually; though it's clear were similarly not highly clued in to this before yesterday, and no substantive replies or info yet (just other colleagues with similar concerns).

Hardcover books are a pleasure to read, especially if they are smyth-sewn. You can identify a smyth-sewn book by placing it on a table and opening it in the middle. If the pages stay flat on top of each other, it is. The pages of a case-bound hardcover will separate from each other and stick out, and a softcover book will just close and fall over.

And that is exactly why hardcover books are a pleasure to read: it takes little effort to hold them open. A smyth-sewn hardcover you can pretty much put on a table and leave it alone while reading it. When reading softcovers, my fingers often get tired before my eyes do.
Personally I believe any kind of consumer lending is bad. It is for consumption, it is for profit, and ultimately creating new liability for borrowers. Chinese companies are learning from west financial institute for this lucrative practice, which in long term is bad for Chinese economy. In short term, it may stimulate consumption. Also as a Alipay user, I didn't intend to have a Huabei account, it was created automatically, and all my purchases on Taobao go through it automatically. I didn't bother to change it. I believe most accounts are created this way.
