Page locking is important, but it only happens at the very very end of the screenwriting process. I've proposed a slight addition to the Fountain syntax to allow forced page numbers on inserted page breaks, which would effectively allow page locking. Use this in conjunction with version control and you'd have everything you need for production.
A lot of times the trade-off for volunteers is having power and influence in important communities (see Reddit, Wikipedia and StackOverflow itself), which they can (and often have) leveraged for money, propagating their own views and suppressing others, or just to get themselves off. So you can't always paint them as exploited.

Rather than the BB sub n definition proposed in the article, I propose a new notation BB^n( x ), which is to the Busy Beaver sequence what Knuth up-arrow notation is to the hyperoperation sequence. So you don't need to rely on the magic of a "super duper machine" to define the number, just recursive use of the Busy Beaver function. It's kind of tenuously on the boundary of the rules, since it uses a made-up notation.

Various lab setups have different requirements.

For biocontainment you generally want negative pressure, such that all exhaust is filtered.

For clean rooms, positive pressure, to ensure filtration and minimum particle reduction levels within the conditioned space. These also have staged zones, much like a cascade refrigerator, with finer levels of purity as you approach the core. Humans themselves are excluded from the higher-purity zones (we're leaky bags of flakey skin, hair, dander, sweat, and mucus). Most especially in chip-fab, but also I suspect various nanofab facilities.

All of which is pretty much entirely outside my paygrade, so I can't really comment intelligently.
Because Rust doesn't have higher-kinded types. Well it does but it doesn't allow you to define or implement traits for them.

Also, what happens when you compose one function with FnMut and another with just Fn? The answer is clearly FnMut. These three traits are related by a subtyping relationship. I don't know enough Rust to answer the question of whether such a hypothetical compose function can return the right one from this hierarchy.
I have no dog in this fight, but

check my karma: it's pretty good. You've just crossed a line.

What does that have to do with anything? You're not wrong that your comment is super obnoxious, so if you're aware of the issue... why not just not?

(I'm sure that the response would be "the invite-only model merits being a jerk in response", but given the topic is community it feels like believing something that self-serving/self-perpetuating of malbehavior ought to be disqualifying.)
Because the USA is doing the same to them and their political/military/business leaders. This is par for the course. Everyone is hacking everyone. I'm surprised that they (the NSA) didn't give Bezos a hardened phone and full security audit. Maybe he didn't let them.
The US Is Giving Saudi Arabia Cover for the Worst Human Rights Abuses in Decades
I think the problem is that FB or Apple don't really get directly hurt from these exploits being used. Some politician gets hacked and important personal data gets leaked - oh well, there was a bug, we've patched it, one less user out of a few billion. And the vast majority of people probably don't rank this kind of thing very high on their threat model, they're either not going to know or aren't going to care.
Totally agree, if this had time options we would use this in production in a heart beat. Trying to get off ant design but their date/time picker is pretty clean.

I will say, this is SUPER clean. Great work Hernán!
When someone speaks of property rights, they usually mean their own rights, not others'.
My VW just broke down. Manufactured in Frankfurt, and shipped to the US. It has known defects that were recently settled as part of a class action lawsuit, so this isn't just anecdotal.

The Fine German engineering required the removal of the front bumper to replace a headlight bulb (just the bulb, not the entire assembly). What kind of idiot designs a car that way? The fuel injectors on the 2.0t engine routinely clog up with low mileage, requiring either expensive cleaning, or more expensive replacement.

The suspension has a design flaw that results in tires cupping after only 2-3k miles. Tire rotation does nothing to solve the problem; purchasing expensive tires doesn't alleviate the issue, they just wear out as fast, costing $$. VW has known about this issue since this model was released but denies responsibility.

The number of recalls this car has had in a short 8 years is a joke. The number of repairs it has required outside of recalls in 8 short years is a joke. The VW that built the Bug, the Bus, the Rabbit/Golf, Sciracco and Jetta, that VW has died. Now VW is just trying to push up market and failing.

I've owned a VW for the entirety of my driving life. This will be the last one I buy since VW (at least in the US) doesn't give a shit about quality.

Similarly with GTLDs. Many companies have to register their own .sucks so someone else doesn't stand a website up there. What a pointless waste of money.
A friend of mine is looking to transition from being a computer science professor to industry, probably in an engineering role. A lot of recruiters seem unsure of what to do with a professor. Since professors are a unique hybrid role consisting of fund raising, developing prototype software, and managing students, it can be hard to convey that to recruiters/HR.
I wish we had a centralized archive for all of these predictions gone wrong.
The old strategy that you're referring to was called "Embrace, Extend, and Extinguish" in their internal memos [0]

[0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embrace,_extend,_and_extinguis...
Is the professor tenure-track or adjunct? It makes a big difference. Also, professor's jobs generally never have anything to do with fund-raising. A tenured professor will have 3 concerns: teaching, publishing and community service. An adjunct will only be required to teach. Anything else would be exceptional to the role.
Very nice work. I'm interested in how you implemented the page-count/timing of a Fountain script; could you give a high-level overview?
It's really a matter of market efficiency, where efficiency is dictated by how much information is available. In a market where information is accurate and timely, companies cannot abuse customer trust because doing so for anything the customer cares about will result in them valuing that company and its products less. Different industries have different levels of information available, making it easier or harder to depend on what they say or show.

Apple is specifically hard to reason about because some aspect of their value is based on their products being a status symbol, and some value is based on their functionality (this is true to a degree for most products, but is skewed quite high in the status symbol ratio for a tech product for Apple).

On the one hand, Apple has been fairly straightforward in their communication and not lied often, and also has a business model that has less conflicting interests when it comes to consumer privacy, but at the same time they could conceivably get away with more because of their position as a status symbol.

What this means for me is that I take Apple's claims about consumer protection fairly seriously in most cases, but for anything important I would not rely on them. They've banked a lot of good will, and at some point they might see it as worthwhile to make a withdrawal on it (if they hopefully haven't already), and I would rather not be in a poor position if/when that happens.
Indeed, any money after the "never work again and have a decent middle class lifestyle" point is worth significantly less to me than money before that point.
Or just buffer each broadcast segment into some 60GHz memory (is there such a thing?), and either rely on your signalling protocol being TDMI (and you therefore not needing to send/receive more than a fraction of the time) or on your broadcast signal being periodically repeating, such that the radio can just treat that memory as a ring buffer to play over and over.

Or, do what old computer architectures did when their CPUs were slower than their DACs: add a Programmable Interval Timer (i.e. a very simple synthesizer) in between, such that you just send a few commands and it adds together some 60GHz triangle and square waves to achieve the signal shape you want. Maybe even add a sequencer, and then stream it some 60GHz MIDI files!

In 1914, Germany declared war on France. Then Britain declared war on Germany.
In 1939 France and Britain jointly declared war on Germany.

It seems to me that there are at least three primary belligerents of the last two world wars (I would also include Russia).
I agree. I have no idea what IEEE is doing that costs that much. And while I don't take as hard a line against them as I do against Elsevier, I have never published with them and don't currently have any plans to change that.

If Germany's military is top 10, I'll be a monkey's uncle. They have horrible availability rates for their ships and aircraft. On paper it might seem impressive, but in terms of power, it's arguably not even third in Europe. I'd rank France and Poland higher in conventional military power.
Good point. I’ve updated my post: tenure-track at an R1 university.

In regards to fundraising, I am also a professor and I spend most of my time fundraising. It’s basically my main job...
> On a couple of occasions, now, you have conflated DNR (or POLST, more accurately, these days, Physician Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatments) with the act of suicide.

I certainly did not and having a few idiots who cannot make the difference does not mean we can't still be opposed to other people choosing for you what it means to "die with dignity", which was the starter of this discussion.

And I am happy that you find racism abhorrent but I doubt you misunderstood me to the point of missing that I am just criticizing the idea that professionals the most exposed to a situation necessarily have unbiased and superior moral opinion on this situation.
I think the reduction in power is the best reason to use profanity to your hearts content, maybe its some kind of language accelerationism, but the very idea of "profanity" always irked me; it always felt/does feel extremely arbitrary. "This word is bad because it's bad"
Yes but the perception is that the Amazon brand is "better" somehow - and it creates a perverse incentive for Amazon to NGAF about counterfeiters.

Every time I buy on Amazon I have to use Fakespot to get something decent. For some things that's the best way to go, but it's a huge PITA, and I'm to the point where going to the local mall/outlet is actually less work now.
Where did I say I would decide value purely by number of people?

Why did you include the fact that they were killers fleeing police? Are, you supposing that I will somehow infer this in the 2 seconds I have to react or you just positing completele nonsense to muddy the waters with emotions?

Pedanticaly one would virtually never choose to hit pedestrians instead of cars because pedestrians don't have crumple zones or air bags.

The big question is should cars prioritize the owners health or the greater good and If the latter what is the greater good.

I don't think people will turn on a product that might decide to kill them to save a school bus so it's simplified to minimizing chance of fatalities while protecting the owner absolutely even if this risks others.
Trust me, when your brain does not receive the amount of oxygen it needs, even though mostly breathing pure oxygen at that point, your understanding becomes blurry at best.
That still requires somewhat less from the user than my solution: a filtering proxy. On the other hand, the latter enables a far more customised browsing experience and one that isn't restricted to a single browser on a single computer.

...which brings me to another great point this illustrates: if you want to customise your experience, if you want to be able to control how you see the Web, then you need to make an effort, and the amount you exert is essentially proportional to how much you can change.

Yet the majority of users have shown that they are willing to take whatever Google throws at them with little opposition. I find that a little sad and ironic in this era of "everyone can code" propaganda (I've seen even Google advertises something like that on its homepage); or perhaps the latter is just an attempt to increase the population of intelligent yet docile and obedient corporate drones... I know developers --- web developers --- who really hated the changes yet made no effort to fix it themselves, despite almost certainly having the skills to.
A couple notes, from an infectious disease epidemiologist:

- The CDC Director is, in rare form for this administration, not someone devoted to dismantling the agency he's in charge of. I work with the CDC fairly frequently, and they're in pretty good shape.

- This is our third novel coronavirus, and the 2nd out of China. There's been a lot of prep work for this.

Some topics where you will most definitely come across fixed-width formats:
- processing older system printouts that are save to text file
- banking industry formats for payment files and statements
- industrial machine control

and my favourite.......
- source code.

My first intro to awk was using it to process COBOL code to find redundant copy libs, consolidate code, and generally cleanup code (very very crude linting). And it was brilliant. Fast, logical, readable, reliable - was everything i needed.

It is also an eminently suitable language for teaching programming because it introduces the basic concept of SETUP - LOOP - END . which is exactly the same as one will find in most business systems, you find it in arduino sketches, hell you even find it in a browser which is basically just a whole universe of stuff sitting atop a very fast loop that looks for events.

AWK fan for sure - my heirachy of languages these days would be cmd line where there is specific command doing all i need, AWK for anything needing to slice and dice records that dont contain blobs, python for complete programs, and python+nuitka or lazarus or C# when need speed and/or cross platform.
Generally, you want to secure around a year if you are intentionally working the career ladder. It can be difficult to convince an employer that you will stick around long enough to make them money if you jump job to job.

That said, you need to consider your long term goals. If you are job hopping for experience, you might want to consider contract work, or independent work first. As an employer though, I don't consider a 6 month stint to be a bad thing. You need to be prepared to tell me why you're jumping ship, and what you are looking to achieve at my place of business.

Nobody can tell you a "right" answer though. It is entirely dependent on your own goals and ethics. You don't owe anybody anything in your journey to the top, so do what feels right and keep moving forward.
The time-to-saturate is a wash when you factor in per-filter rates. You're achieving a 4x longer life per filter, but multiplying that by the 4x filters you are using.

The net filtration rate per filter will fall as that's a function of flow rate * filtration size.

Yes, the four- or five-filter version will probably have a slightly better overall filtration rate ... but that's really not the principle constraint here. A single-filter design will drop particle density by ~90% in about 30 minutes. That's sufficient. It's doubtful the final particle density measurement will be much reduced (though if someone's got the data I'd be interested in seeing it), or that this reduction is clinically significant from a health perspective. Remember that you're likely going outside the filtered area, so achieving perfection inside but spending a substantial fraction of your time in unfiltered or far-more-poorly-filtered air, isn't much of a win.

Meantime, you're tying up 3-4 filters that you don't really need, and which others could make effective use of, for a very low marginal imrovement in your own experience.

Where the filters themselves are in low supply -- typical for a region where a wildfire has errupted, and particularly true where filters aren't a high-volume item as with Australia presently -- designs which economise on filter use are a net social benefit.
Maybe I missed it, but it was interesting that tetration was mentioned without talking about Graham’s number g_64[0] or Kruskal’s tree theorem and TREE(3)[1], both have been quite popular huge numbers for quite a while now.

> edit: To clarify, users should be able to disable telemetry - it's the anti-telemetry rhetoric I find to be overblown - in general what I hear isn't nearly as nuanced as the replies here, it's simply blanket opposition to all telemetry.

Respect begets respect. If Microsoft gave me the choice to disable telemetry, I would probably leave it on. The fact that they don't give me that choice motivates me to find a third-party tool to disable it, if only as a way to express my annoyance.

Yes, I know, I'm not representative of the vast majority of users.

Probably a good thing that an effort was made to transition Sheffield to a services-based economy because steel was going away no matter what.
That workflow has changed in the last few years.

- Brand new templates (introduced about 5 years ago, the LaTeX template has had multiple updates per year since then)

- Workflow that makes use of the source (or possibly codes the source embeds in the PDF, but you have to provide LaTeX source to ACM these days)

- Papers now render in both PDF and HTML (and the HTML looks quite good), this started showing up within the last 1-2 years

- Papers are archived in an XML-based format (something called JITS, I do not know details) to facilitate rendering to PDF, HTML, ePub, and other formats not yet devised

I have been using Windows Firewall Control (WFC)(https://www.binisoft.org/wfc.php) for some years now. I have the same laptop since 2015, it runs Win8.1, and WFC is always running in alert/block mode. If you remember ZoneAlarm from 20y ago, imagine something like that. WFC hooks on the Windows firewall but has a super-enhanced UI. I usually leave only Firefox, Outlook, and Windows Updates passing through, and my Outlook only to the mail server (no need to download all the crappy stuff that people link on their emails).

I could also never understand why explorer.exe (or wordpad.exe, or WinZip or solitaire, or majority of apps on a PC.. need to tell anyone on the internet what I am doing with my PC.

In the same spirit, I always suggest it to friends who ask me to help them setup a new W10 machine. I block almost everything that moves and this solves any ad problem and telemetry that W10 is running.
I don't have a right to be stopped from installing insecure software. Any rights in this area go in pretty much the opposite direction.

> Asking ever day users to create a site (buy a DNS and all that) and create a FOAF file and host it is kind of ridiculous.

This is literally what the article on Two-Bit History says in its conclusion as to why FOAF failed; I'm not quite sure why you're describing it as "a bit unintelligent" when it's, you know, saying exactly what you are?

> what if we continue using these giants for hosting our data (with all the amazing benefits that that brings) but we urge them to provide us with ways to control the way they show us this data.

That's a great idea in theory, but in practice, how do you propose to do that? Facebook and Twitter don't want to let you change the algorithm that generates your main feed; they don't want to give you ways to control how they show you that data. The API Twitter provides to third-party clients is heavily restricted (and has been very deliberately made worse over the years), and the API that Facebook offers for those purposes is even worse. Neither system wants to let you control your social graph. The kind of access you're describing is access that is difficult to monetize -- unless they charge for that access directly, in which case it's just as dead in the water in practice as "just embed this FOAF XML block on your personal web page" is.

> There's nothing inherently wrong with the social media giants if they prove to us they can show us different views of the graph without getting in the way.

I think from a purely technical standpoint, you're probably right, but we don't live in a world where "purely technical standpoint" wins the day. This is not their business model. This will never be their business model.

Mastodon and other decentralized networks have their problems, but given the choice between "improve Mastodon" and "convince Facebook to open access," only one of them sounds feasible to me.
Yes..the native Americans(blackfoot, iirc) used to burn grasslands time a stubble to stimulate new growth for bison to graze..the bison were herded in tight groups and their stomping and dung created a grass mat...it’s those controlled burning and tight bison runs that later resulted in the most beautiful soil in this country.

It’s a system with many parts. We are part of the system. Industrial Ag and factory farming and CAFOs have destroyed the equations that kept everything in balance.
