> Politicians have made a bunch of statements to the effect that LGBT is a foreign ideology

You can thank the radical left and their very real gender-based ideology for that development - they just gave bigoted politicians everywhere a handy excuse to attack basic freedom of association. Genius of them, really.

So what this conference supposed to be about? X.Org and related projects development or how sexual life and preferences is affecting it?

Seems that people downvoting in reddit fashion are failing to see the absurdity of this decision which is clearly caused by mixing professional and private life by the interested party.
Well, if you use just -x alone, it will not attempt to get the format you ask for. So you will probably end up with a m4a (mp4 container with just AAC audio) or ogg (vorbis/i think opus?) depending on whether the best quality is encoded in h264, WebM/VP8 or WebM/VP9. Which may not be what you want.

OTOH, if you specify a format directly without -x, it may not extract the audio alone. For example if you wanted M4A, you'd specify -x on top of specifying the format explicitly.

edit: as krick points out though, it doesn’t seem videos generally have an mp3 format, at least on YouTube.
These articles are getting a little tiresome. Private enterprise is about competition and cost reduction. That’s what drives improvement, innovation, and efficiency, and it’s what differentiates private enterprise from government spending, which is about justifying why things need to be so expensive.

Yes, Boeing was too aggressive about reducing cost to compete with Airbus and they need some major reform because hundreds of people are dead. But let’s not forget that this drive towards cost reduction is what still allows you today fly across the country in perfect safety for $300. All these people saying “Of course Boeing should have designed a totally new plane from scratch with quadruple-redundant systems, only the most experienced factory workers to build it, all parts made out of unicorn tears for safety’s sake, etc.” have a misguided view of how engineering is done.

Perfectly reasonable decisions by Boeing to try to reduce costs for their customers and passengers are now being characterized negatively, merely because they are intended to reduce cost. People don’t seem to realize that it’s easy to build an expensive airplane - the hard part of engineering is not always choosing the easy, expensive option.
I should add that I found it during a journey similar to yours, and still use it as a reference.

How the ‘Sharing’ Economy Erodes Both Privacy and Trust
Two books first published in the 60s:

“The Science of The Artificial” by Herbert Simon, a multi-disciplinary treatise on the goals of design by practitioners in the physical sciences (physics, bio. etc), non-physical sciences (math, comp. sci, etc) and humanities (econs., psych., etc).

“The Structure of Scientific Revolutions” by Thomas Kuhn, coined the concept of paradigm shift and used it to revisit the history of science that was previously thought to be cumulative and linear.
I don't think that's crazy. Why shouldn't local authorities, state DOTs, and the national DOT be obligated to also update a database that self driving cars use? They already have such databases for their own records, usage, and analysis. In a world in which SDCs are normal that is how you would expect it to work.

It's a bigger expectation to suppose that the car will perceive the environment better than a person would and make correct on-the-fly decisions about traffic signs when snow obscures the sign and a little bit of ice and muck obscures its cameras ever-so-slightly, making some of the sensors go half-berserk.
Please stop. Wait a minute. Are you suggesting that we import labour to do physically hard work that we can’t do when it’s possible to create ag bots and intelligent machines to do it? This is the argument..that we can get cheap manual labour from poor countries..that’s impeding ag innovations.
My guess is that types would be better for enforcing code organization and for tooling ... while contracts are better for correctness

I see what you're getting at, but there is one other crucial difference: the types we're talking about here are usually checked at compile time, whereas the contracts we're talking about here are usually checked at run time. Although the latter may be more expressive if other things are equal, other things are very much not equal in this respect.

How much that matters depends on the nature of the software and how it is to be deployed and used. If you're writing a program for your own use, it might not matter much at all. If you're writing a program that is going to control a satellite and software maintenance after launch is extremely expensive if not impossible, it might matter a great deal.
yeah but you can walk away with a massive exit package. If you are ambitious, unscrupulous and mostly motivated by your own self-interests you needn't burden yourself with such sentimental matters like the age and reputation of your former employer.

Isn't the real problem that Ruby's "magic" a lot of the time relies on monkey-patching stuff?

I mean, Javascript's modules also are dynamically executed and then returned as a singleton module object (also cached, so only the first require actually runs the code before the module export). This means you can make a module which requires other modules and monkey patches methods inside them (this is how mocking actually works), wrecking havoc amongst all other dependencies, but library authors just don't.
It adds a few more functionalities like setting up custom arguments, option to keep track of downloaded titles without archive file, and a few more. It just tries to make audio/playlist management easy.

I'm currently in week 4 of the most popular course in Yale [0], but was made available online on Coursera[1].

I think for the most part I've learnt I've learnt that much of what we think about happiness is consistently shown not to work. And that many of our expectations of what we think will make us happy, simply won't. If we want genuine happiness, it takes an honest self-assessment of what we're doing, what's stopping us from being happy and what would be the best way to map the parts of our life we can control to actually make us happy.

Anyway, the course seems well respected and highly recommended [2]. But I hope you're doing ok, and whatever you choose to do next, you find what you're looking for. Best of luck.

I've become convinced that for anyone experiencing emotional or health problems, making sure you've got nutrition/activity/sleep nailed down should always be the first step.

I won't claim one of these is the magic bullet to help OP, since I don't know the specifics of the case. But if one or more of them aren't what they should be, then it's likely that it should be addressed before anything more extreme/expensive.
In the atomic research world, diode lasers are great because they’re cheap and fairly tunable.

Many of atomic cooling studies done 20 years ago were done using rubidium because it had a primary absorption wavelength that matched what commercial CD players used. This made the 780nm diodes dirt cheap.

Having new wavelengths of diode lasers makes certain basic research more accessible. I’ve been out of the field too long to know where this one may help but it’s exciting to see progress.
German troops have very good discipline, and a far more reliable education than american troops. While certainly far from ideal, the state of the Bundeswehr is often painted worse than it is. You completely gloss over the fact that german (special) forces are in a lot of countries.

Furthermore, Germany isn't militarily threatened by any country with capabilities to invade it. France and Britain are close allies, the US kinda still is, Russia's economy is extremely reliant on Germany and the other countries around it are to small to pose a serious threat.
You probably are a developer, but engineering in life critical fields can't be reduced to cost efficiency.
When spec was proposed I remember some talk of compile-time checking of some annotations. I don't know whether anything came of that, but in theory it would allow what you're talking about. That has no relation to seq, though, which is the kind of thing supported by many statically typed languages.
From what I remember, after Dragon2 is approved by NASA, all development efforts of SpaceX will be focused on Starship and Super Heavy only.

Dragon2 is no use in the efforts to build a city on Mars. And even for a Moon colony, its too small. Its just there to earn money from flying people to the ISS and back. And for that its already good enough.

AMD's OpenGL tools don't look too active either, e.g. the last release of CodeXL is from 2018, and this only updated dependencies or removed functionality, for instance this nugget from the release notes:

---

* Removal of components which have been replaced by new standalone tools:

* FrameAnalysis - use https://github.com/GPUOpen-Tools/Radeon-GPUProfiler

---

...that Radeon-GPUProfiler is that tool which has only D3D12 and Vulkan support.

Look around for AMD's OpenGL activity more recently, there's not much, which isn't surprising because they've been lagging behind NVIDIA with their GL drivers since forever. I bet they're eager to close that chapter.

NVIDIA seems more committed to GL still, but without having all GPU vendors on board to continue supporting OpenGL, Khronos won't be able to do much to keep it alive.

An excellent therapist is always a good thing to identify, but excersize can definitely also have a massive impact on self esteem, energy levels, and mood in general.

I found that strength training has radically changed my life, and I've certainly plumbed the depths of profound depression and anxiety in my own life. So far, nothing has come close to helping me as much as strength training. Working out regularly gives me a way to care for myself, and I can walk around knowing that I'm doing work that will have a lasting benefit for all aspects of my life. It's a lot less about looking perfect or weighing some ideal amount and more about caring for myself, and celebrating those small victories in the gym as evidence of personal resilience and growth.

Excersize may not be the magic bullet for your situation, but the same experience of caring for yourself might come from other experiences, like volunteer work, studying a new skill or hobby, etc.

By the way, I've certainly let mediocre therapy go too long. Nothing wrong with exploring other therapists, it's a deeply personal search, and needs also change over time. Trust your instincts on whether you are receiving the right care for you. The worst that can happen is that you try someone else and realize you prefer your former therapist.

You are worth it! Best of luck.

> Have airlines cancelled orders of the 737 Max?

Yes. (Though IAG did agree a letter of intent—not an actual order, though—with Boeing for 200 aircraft. It was rumoured this was the biggest discount seen in the aviation world since Ryanair's large post-9/11 order.)

> If yes the will they be canceling orders of this one too?

Probably not? The 777X will be looked at incredibly closely prior to certification, and doesn't have the design oddities of the 737 MAX, so it probably is much lower risk, even with the cultural problems.
The solution is not large farms but smaller farms that are mostly automated. This also means more jobs for a country that is going to churn out so many STEM educated youth.

It’s time to start changing how we grow food.
I agree with everything you said. I would also add jiu-jitsu. Few things in life can both take someone with too much ego and put it in check, and take someone with a lack of self-esteem/confidence and give it to them. It's hard to overstate the life lessons learned through training.
Two Gardeners Discovered a Stolen $66M Gustav Klimt Inside a Gallery Wall
Interesting idea, I checked out the site.

One piece of feedback, I had to go into the docs, under (A Simple Example App) to get a sense for what it was/how exactly it worked.

In place of the video that is the first piece of media content on the landing page, I would have much preferred some snippet of code and a visualization of its result. That way as soon as I come to the site, I get a feel for what exactly it is.

I think this would markedly improve your ability to communicate what Remake is. As the old adage goes:

'Show, don't tell.'
I don't think -f mp3 would ever work, -f is for choosing file format to download. So -f mp3 would work only if there is a source with codename mp3, which I don't think I've ever seen. You may be using -f bestaudio -x or something along the lines of it.
Very creative approach. There are flavors of abstraction of information The spatial visuals / artifacts are definitely helpful.

Much more relevant and sustainable than logs of notes.

It's pretty interesting that people remember much more about their own Minecraft creation than their notes/ tasks. This balanced approach is very interesting!
Cause of concern: business/ pricing model.
One thing I would recommend that you set obtainable goals, and do them. There is a tremendous amount of power in the finishing things that you intend to do.

In the past I've started with big projects and struggled with my own confidence because I haven't finished them. Making small goals and accomplishing them really gives me an positive sense of self, and ability.
I wonder if there is something for CRUD as easy as Delphi used to be for rapid prototyping.
It’s totally possible. Like any new tech, it can only be adopted when it’s done at a large scale to be affordable.

We have to make farms smaller and smarter. And start training agronomists and farmers to start becoming STEM friendly with their methods otherwise they are never going to comfortable transitioning from tractor to robot.

I will always promote Jose Hernandez-Orallo's The Measure of All Minds [1]

It attempts to codify how we should go about measuring and evaluating the somewhat fuzzy concept of "intelligence." He proposes an extension of his "Anytime Intelligence Test" which could be used to test animal and machine intelligence on a level playing field.

Measurement of task capability against a baseline is the most overlooked problem in AI and as far as I am aware Hernandez-Orallo is the only one focusing on it.

Notice that all of the major "breakthrough" moments in AI over the last half century had a human baseline that an AI was competing against. Those baselines were ones that had been already developed over years (sometimes a century) and were part of competitive games already. Go, Chess, DOTA etc... had leaderboards or international rankings.

For fuzzier things like driving, translation, strategy, trading etc... there is no generally accepted and measurable baseline test for what is considered human level, only proxies and unit specific tests. So we continue to not know when an AI system is measurably at or exceeding human level. Without this we can't definitively know how much progress we're making on Human Level Intelligence.

> They don't have to move everything to Pittsburgh, they could just open a small office there and give their employees the option to move there.

Google has had an office in Pittsburgh for over a decade now. There is physical office space for 2-3x the employees it has now and year after year, the growth there does not exceed the overall company growth. Turns out that people don’t really want to relocate to cheap cities in droves.

But it is not really efficient, to use one train, for one passenger.
I’m a developer and a pilot. I understand that cost is not the only factor. My frustration is, the attitude in the media today is to report negatively on every single instance they can find of Boeing trying to reduce costs as if that is a sin in itself, when it’s actually the most fundamental driver of improvement in the entire economy!
The sensors and correction are a symptom of the issue at Boeing, which is an aggressive pursuit of profit over safety.
> Ps also consider the source - the economist - they’ve never met a sanction or a trade barrier they could like so keep that in mind....

They were in favor of sanctions against lots of countries, usually because of human rights abuses. I currently can't access their archives, but I am quite sure they were calling for sanctions on Germany as early as 1933.

Exactly, there's a search box on the web site. How it's implemented is an implementation detail. Given that it happens to be something by a company (Algolia) selling this as a SAAS solution, I don't think this is a great advertisement for them either.

That's very much my experience, as well. Assuming - and it's a very big assumption - that your use case has equivalent library support.
It wasn’t perfectly reasonable to have a non redundant sensor that could have life threatening consequences if it failed.... and to also make the sensor failure alarm optional equipment doesn’t sound very reasonable to me either. It’s not about using software to compensate for the loss of aerodynamics... it’s about cheating the process so they wouldn’t have to put the design through a detailed review that could have eliminated this whole debacle in the first place.
Fwiw, I don't think the Kuhn qualifies as 'unknown'.

As someone who studied the game of Go for a bit, simple rules can be deceptive. You can get whole bookshelves of books about things with rules that are too simple.

“The Rules” that matter become the patterns that the simple rules allow or imply, and all the nuances of when one is better than another.
OpenXava (https://openxava.org) is an platform that is open source and automatically generates user interface based on CRUD operations (+ much more). Even for one-to-many or many-to-one associations, it creates look up lists and master-detail user interfaces. It also creates interface for searching, for printing reports, for custom queries, for group-by and similar aggregate queries and much more. All automatically.

How? It uses information that you provide which Java class corresponds to which table, Hibernate style JPA ORM annotated classes, either in XML or as plain java classes with annotations (one class per table).

If you have a large database, with multitude of tables, you can use the Hibernate / JBoss reverse engineering tool to generate the mapping classes directly from the database structure. See this: https://eugencovaciq.wordpress.com/2016/02/01/hibernate-tool...

There are other tools that could help. Why OpenXava? Because it is very easy to customize the generated user interface and it is very flexible. You just add @view annotations to the classes that modify how the interface is generated. For example, when you need to drop out some attributes, or not show a link to another table, or when the table is used as a lookup for the foreign key in another table, you can configure how the lookup will look like in one situation, and how in another. You can reconfigure the layout of complicated forms for tables with many attributes, also using view annotations.

I am not involved with OpenXava, but have used it to make an administration interface for several apps. I have a maven script that can be run from the command line, that uses hibernate reverse engineering library to generate the mapping classes and i have the initial app in minutes.
