This seems to be one of those cases where the special interest definition of a term and what the general population considers a reasonable definition diverge.

Killing anything less than a 6-pack is generally not considered binge drinking by the population at large. There's also an intent element. Binge drinking involves drinking to get drunk. Killing a 6-pack because you're sitting around with your buddies drinking and watching (edit: American) football is not binge drinking to anyone who isn't a card carrying member of MADD.

This adds weight and volume that are bad for a mobile phone. Also, the size must be enough to process all the heat from the phone. In systems with a big heatsink you will need a bigger device between the heat source and the heatsink. This will not be a problem for phones, but it may be a problem for notebooks.

Also, with a difference of 30C (60F) they increased the maximum efficiency from 1% to 4%, but that temperature difference is probably too hot for a phone in your pocket.

It's probably better to have a smaller phone, or to use the additional space/weight in a bigger battery.
The BBC received far more complaints on coverage on the recent election from Conservative (right) supporters than any other group:

https://www.theguardian.com/media/2019/dec/31/bbc-election-c...

The right wing in the UK is usually the group most critical of the BBC (AKA "Brussels Broadcasting Corporation").

I would agree that the coverage during the Scottish referendum in 2014 was biased but I think that this is because the BBC is naturally biased towards the status-quo.

Any organisation that can produce The Thick of It being critical of politicians and W1A about its own antics can't be all bad....

I think you're mistaking tension headaches for migraines. As a lifelong migraine sufferer, I can assure you they're different, and while tense neck muscles or stress can be a trigger for migraine, they're not the reason why I have them.

We are working in the breast cancer space now looking at breast cancer and ultrasound (not just from a screening / diagnostic perspective - also treatment planning for medical oncologists and treatment response planning).

We don't use deep learning - we use Biophysical models. We hate using the term "AI". This is a very challenging discipline to explain to VCs.

Also, speaking to point 2 here - the "value" of building tools for ultrasound is often dismissed by VCs because "ultrasound isn't used for screening or diagnosis". This is an insane perspective from our position when we are practically based within hospitals, collaborating strongly with radiologists and medical oncologists who work with ultrasound on a daily basis.

We are very embedded within the hospital and look to understand the clinicians workflow and decision making processes first, as well as understanding what's possible given the hurdles involved in data access (which can still be tricky even when you are through IRBs and ethics).

We have found that telling VCs the reality about working with hospitals and doctors can often limit their excitement about your company prospects. Our success to date has largely been as a result of doctors and hospitals who believe in us, see the value in what we are doing. They have put time and effort into collaborating because they are impressed with what we have been able to do results wise by bootstrapping as a small team, rather than as a VC funded shiny startup.

In a weird way i would say that at it's best times medtech can be one of the "purest" industries to work in. By this i mean ultimately your technology works or it doesnt (at least from the medical communities perspective - again VCs are a different story). There are obviously exceptions to this (Theranos anyone) and there are issues around the 510K process but on the whole there is a big price to pay for making unsubstantiated claims (say compared to aspirational lifestyle marketing).

Let me reiterate my disclaimer

>Please don’t mistake my post for support of any particular view.

A lot of America did. A lot of America was going off what the general public was thinking rather than following the actual case[0]. This thread was spawned from the love and desire to read legal texts which includes outcomes of cases which could set case/common law. I read all of the case data against Ulbricht, OJ Simpson, Zimmerman etc. As more and more information came to light it was becoming quite obvious what a reasonable jury would respond with. The prosecution showed a clear connection between Ulbricht, his bitcoin wallet, and they caught him red-handed. The LAPD completely huffed up on their police duties with OJ. The star witness the prosecution brought against Zimmerman flopped on the stand. There is believing one is innocent and then there is the actual court judgement of not guilty based on the case presented. The latter is what matters to me as a legal hobbyist.

[0] PS this is why juries are instructed to avoid discussing the case outside of court, reading news on the case, and sometimes are sequestered if it's a high profile case where such communications can't be avoided

In the post-trump era, right wing complaints against an organisation aren't necessarily a sign that that organisation is doing a good thing. Complaints from the factions in power in the UK at the moment are usually just a sign that their actions 'arent right enough' rather than not being right wing full stop.

Also, the BBC News wing has separate management, some of whom were appointed during Cameron's time in office. So the drama and comedy produced by the BBC can be independent of its news editing.

I guess the fundamental challenge with a snapcast setup is that you’re provisioning a computer for each node, and the inherent burden in setup and maintenance that comes with this.

My personal little wireless setup is not with an FM-transmitter (although that’s pretty elegant!), but I do try to keep some of the analog simplicity. I use these:

https://audioengineusa.com/shop/adapters/w3-wireless-audio-a...

The sending dongle can function as a USB sound card connected to a computer, but you can also have it transmit an analog signal from its aux in. That makes for the most flexible solution: instead of connecting it to your computer, you can connect it to the pre-out of a hi-fi amp/receiver, and then anything playing on the amp will also be wirelessly transmitted. I’ve personally connected the sending dongle to a mixing desk in the living room. Latency is low, setup is minimal, and compression is lossless.

It’s super rudimentary though, the relative volume of the speakers you have to deal with on the speakers themselves, but its simplicity also makes for less problems. It’s a proprietary protocol but since it’s just something I plug into analog equipment and could replace, the vendor lock-in seems minimal.
You can also use `redshift -x` to reset to the default.

How on earth can anyone present fox news as a serious news site? It's the living incarnation of for-profit shock journalism. It doesn't even pretend to have actual content. (I'd be just as irritated if someone said comedy central... Which is probably slightly more accurate, but still utterly idiotic)
You can make AlphaZero learn different value function by changing the reward from the game. Game with no reward from draw, more reward from shorter games with more captures creates different value functions.
The traffic lights don't really bother me but then I take the bus so I don't interact with them directly. The closest thing I can comment is I'm relieved the street crossing signals are bright enough even for summer days when the sun is high and you are viewing them at very tight angles.

I gotta try going to the Elbekreuzung too then! I notice it is acceptably dark around Bahrenfeld. I got to take this last summer, during my first month here: https://flic.kr/p/2i7ML2V . Not ideal for a photo--there's way too much ambient light pollution from the nearby apartments--but at least you could make out the stars, which is more than what I can say for other urban settings. (Maybe I should retry this shot with a narrower focal length, i.e., not fisheye.)

Incidentally, the handful "nooks and crannies" I've been referring to as having almost no streetlight are all around Bahrenfeld.
Yep. I wouldn’t worry too much on popularity though. After Pascal I took Fortran as an elective and it was decades past its prime. I didn’t begrudge the opportunity, I enjoyed learning. We should be learning to program rather than a specific tool. One popular and one academic lang is a good trade off.
I built a 3D graph visualisation of the Gypsy Jazz scene around the world called the DjangoVerse ( https://www.londondjangocollective.com/djangoverse/). I used Django (obviously..), D3, and React.

It shows which players gigged together, and colours the players based on the country they live in. It's a wiki, so anyone can add themselves or other players, as well as add a link to a YouTube video to promote their music.

A bunch of people (Gypsy jazz a pretty small world!) added themselves (there are over 200 players on it now) then it died down.

I also wrote a blog post about the design process: https://www.jeremiecoullon.com/2019/11/27/djangoverse/

It was fun and meant I got to learn a bit of React and D3 !

I agree with you. I get an email USA news summary from The Guardian in the morning and a few minutes looking at that is suffices. I like democracynow.org also but only give that a good read a few times a month.

When a US politician does something I find offensive, I do take a few minutes to check to see if they are running for re-election in which case I try to donate $5 to their opponent. Otherwise, I am happy being “apathetic” to politics.

EDIT: I volunteer one day a week at my local food bank, and that helps tie me into local events and what is happening in town. Local news is the most important news to me since I have virtually no effect on the world outside of my local community.

This is my point of view as well. Even (especially?) for things like politics. I might read a quick summary about whatever the current big issues are every few weeks and around elections, but that's it.

Great to see Swift being used outside of macOS/iOS.

Is this increasingly common?

Is it worth learning and adopting Swift as an alternative to Rust/Go/Dart, for example? It feels like it could be a strong general purpose language.

It seems a shame to restrict the language to Apple's ecosystem only. Apple's own docs make it sound like use cases outside of the Apple ecosystem are being left to the community; that Apple does not have any intention to make the language have broader appeal itself: https://developer.apple.com/swift/#xplatform

It's important to understand their context, where people like Mies are coming from. They're coming from a time when there were still very strong expectations regarding how things have to look or behave, independent from their actual utility and function, and they basically took a radical stance against that.

Then later cam people like Zaha Hadid who in turn rebelled against the mid century modernists and their ubiquity with a radically organic approach (avoiding sharp edges and corners).
i am aware of it. i was not pretending we could reach zero entropy but nevertheless it manifests entropy reduction compared to an energetic non-optimal raw material doesn't it? meaning if we need less energy for the same amount of work we do it more efficiently and therefore require less (but not null!) entropic output

That is not really how moc works though ? moc does not change anything to your original sources nor their translation units; it is not an additional preprocessing step, but a parallel one.

This .o is exactly the same that one that would be produced in a complete Qt program. Moc just generates additional source files with the implementation of some functions whose declaration is given by the Q_... macros. You could also write them by hand or generate them with fancy cmake scripts... it's just not a fun experience.
Online Typing Practice for Programmers
I have had a similar issue with a UX/design person. I think the main problem though is process. The design person should be challenged and accept criticism, and revisit their designs. Engineers can also fall into similar traps of following trends and over-engineering things (smart people like to make complex things without even realizing it). Without the structure in place to correct these oversteps, designers can have similar problems.
Complaints are, like any "flagging" system, being weaponized to move the Overton window. There's plenty of people willing to write in and complain any time the BBC says that global warming is happening, that shouldn't be taken as a need to "correct" that.

From another Hacker News discussion:

"One common theme in the chronic Lyme communities is that people who go into remission tend to attribute their response to whatever technique, supplement, or medication they were trying at the time."

Once people form a community around a particular therapy the community will never admit that the therapy was wrong.
