Unlikely except in extreme situations. People were more comfortable with death in the past.
Indeed, as an atheist I long ago recognized the value of religion even if I could not believe in myself.
Dolphin Smalltalk. Such an underrated tool. Productivity + Windows-native gui. Nothing else like it. The Pharo Spec/2 pales in comparison.
In the long term, perhaps. But all of these companies are burning VC money in hopes of getting enough market share that they can dictate terms. Or at least justify yet more VC investment. In the short term they are getting away with quite a bit. E.g., once you take expenses and lost time into account, many DoorDash workers are losing money: https://www.salon.com/2020/01/19/doordash-drivers-make-an-av...

This can be used for amusement, but is in no way reliable to know what you (or anyone else) downloads. It could possibly act as a starting point to track what someone is downloading/seeding when used with other mechanisms.

> How we collect data

> Our system collects torrent files in two ways: parsing torrent sites and listening DHT network. We have more than 1.500.000 torrents which where classified and which are using now for collecting peer sharing facts (up to 200.000.000 daily). We don't guarantee we can show ALL peer sharing facts:

> Single IP address could be assigned to multiple users. It depends on user's ISP. For example mobile operators often used this schema.

Self-explanatory, but this could also be the case for home broadband where CGNAT is used. This means your public torrent downloads (or even if you don’t have any downloads) will be seen along with many others’ downloads as a single list.

> IP address could be dynamic. In such case it changes every time user connects to the Internet or periodically.

Again, self-explanatory. Unless one obtains and uses a static addresses (not the default for most home connections), what you see here could be somewhat similar to the previous point.

> User could download torrent which we don't have

Aka private trackers and torrents, which is what many people who know how to torrent and do it regularly would drift towards. The torrent files from private trackers set a “private” flag that makes the torrent client disable features like DHT (distributed hash table) and PEX (peer exchange) for those torrents. So unless you have a working account on the tracker and join a swarm, you cannot find out about other peers from public sources.

...just a coincidence?
Even the bona fide affiliated people can cause screwups, sometimes assisted by the restaurant staff.

Here is an experience I had. I ordered a meal, and made it clear that I'm picking it up in person. (Why would you use a delivery service and opt for pick-up? There was a good coupon discount involved which made them look more attractive than phoning the restaurant, and they charged quite a bit for delivery.)

Anyway, the courier got there a minute before I did and took the meal away. This happened while I was on the phone with someone at restaurant, informing them that I'm walking there, less than two blocks away, coming to get my order!

They didn't have the phone number of that delivery person, and so had no way to contact him to bring the meal back. They had to make me another instance of that meal while I waited.
I remember saw something long time ago that type hints does not really offer much performance benefit here. Also TypeScript types aren't that reliable anyways since you can always @ts-ignore them. Real impact of TS on runtime performance is more or less an encouragement to developers to create objects of similar shapes that are easier to optimize.

JITs create "shapes" or "hidden classes" anyways: https://v8.dev/blog/fast-properties . They also do many speculative optimizations.
It should run fine as a guest in any hypervisor.
The trick is to not use a desktop environment. Stick to a simple WM and do your stuff in the terminal like back in the 90s and you're good. The DE stuff is basically more or less well-written GUI wrappers for command line tools anyway and the most common operations you do can be handled with simple bash aliases or, worst case, small shell scripts.

Some DE:s are ostensibly nice and polished, but my feeling is that they mainly provide a soft landing for Windows and Mac dropouts. There's always a few spots where the thin veneer starts peeling and, given you know how to operate it, you'll soon find yourself back in the terminal anyway.
Sounds like money laundering but I guess it’s legal in his case.
Surely this is a problem that fixes itself.

Unaffiliated delivery service advertises insufficient price, sends driver to restaurant, driver arrives at restaurant, doesn't have enough money to pay for food, either doesn't get food, or delivery service covers the difference. The delivery service would need to fix their price listings pretty quickly or they'd continuously lose money.

I don't think we should stop ad hoc delivery services like this, but they should have to clearly advertise that that's what they are, not falsely claim to be actually affiliated with the restaraunt.

Edit: I think these kinds of delivery services are valuable because of the layer of abstraction between them and the food business that allows them to deliver from anywhere rather than just the businesses that sign up with the service. I don't see why I shouldn't be able to pay for a proxy to drive to, order and deliver for me.

If they are continually making this kind of pricing mistake, perhaps they should be charged with harassment or something though.
Also scripting feels nice in Deno so far. Also the ease of using a script written by someone else hosted on the web to do stuff, without worrying it taking over my machine, is cool IMHO.
Eh, a significant product that is relevant to both the JavaScript community and the Rust community deserves top billing here.

It shows some of my torrent downloads tangled with tons of other torrent downloads that are not mine. Looks like it's showing all downloads for a particular IP and my ISP uses shared IP for multiple customers.
Simply limiting size, throttling invites, and ejecting troublemakers, goes a long ways to civility.

I'd cultivated a surprisingly good, small (~40-50) member community on G+ at one point, largely on that basis.

Mutual anonymity (myself as founder and moderator) worked. It wasn't conflict-free, but conflict resolved, quickly. Most often problems removed themselves, rarely (2-3x?) they had to be removed. That was done as quietly and civily as possibly.
I have a short anecdote about Amber, which may or may not be widely known.

Amber.js was the original name of Ember.js (so named after the style of beer one of its creators was drinking when they were searching for a name; if memory serves it was also the result of pulling bits and pieces out of SproutCore.js). When it came time to release the project, the authors of A/Ember were notified that they were encroaching on the name of a pre-existing project and changed it.

My grandparents were born way back in time, the turn of the last century when something like 10% of kids didn't make it past the age of 1.

I don't believe that they were 'more comfortable' with death.

More rugged from having to deal with it, but I think the trauma is still there. Plus the fact that people didn't necessarily talk about it, I suggest this was a huge cause of emotional turmoil everywhere.
I hope it's just hype, and not covering up something else, something protected by security clearances. All those hydrocarbons lined up. That's a big surface area to defend. Something comes in and sneaks in and sneaks out.

Just some end of day thoughts after all the biological structure articles on here. I really should keep thoughts like these to myself. Oh well, here's a good of a journal as any.

Nature doesn't call itself DNA or proteins. That's for our benefit to use all the work that's been done before.

Modern Platonism helps:
1. You can only go so fast before being two separate things. There's a big margin to overcome between one thing with blurry electromagnetic edges, and two separate things.
2. If there's no thermal medium of transfer, well your watch ticks, don't it?

That's about it. You get a discrete frequency at c of a flip book or a film strip. If you can move something around symmetrically between those pages or film slides, you got some wiggle room to do what you want.

Electrons, nucleus, more of communication interfaces than containers of dense objects. At some level everything is grounding out. Sometimes the fastest path is the circumference at speed of light frequency. Everything in between has fastest path at all paths. Move the very small with the very little, and receive ethical license based on the self-evidence of suns still on, no new big bang, right? You're you, and we just microwaved that asteroid away with solar emissions.

What I want to see:
1. Everything out there, the cosmos, just precipitate from extreme observation. The moon really didn't exist until humans landed on it.
2. Being able to apply genetics to particle theory, resolution of interfaces.
3. Stars modeled as four bar mechanisms, crank-crank / crank-rocker.

Quackery, just where my mind goes when I read about something that references quantum biology a little.
One thing to note is that successes are often posted on Instagram/FB as a form of self-marketing. Technical skill is shown off for the same reason.

Places like dev.to, Medium, LinkedIn are saturated with articles that are basically self-marketing pieces.
huh.

To me the distinction between strategy and tactic is exactly the opposite of a tomato/tomato-o distinction. They exist at different levels of abstraction.

On it's own, that's not important. What is important is that many companies, especially young ones, waste a bunch of time and/or do ineffective things precisely because they haven't made this distinction, and are thinking at the wrong level of abstraction for the problem they have (if they have even managed to frame it properly).
Being prevented from taking things that aren't yours is not slavery. I don't know of any economic system that tolerates taking whatever you want. I doubt you'd be forgiving if I wandered into your residence and helped myself to whatever was in your refrigerator and anything else I wanted.

Prison labor is simply not a significant part of the economy. Your examples lack the dollar magnitude of them that would justify otherwise.
Why can't the restaurant guard against this by just not giving food away until the right price is paid?
Materialistic doesn't crash very often. When I say I have an app crash 5 times a week, I mean any one of my installed apps. If I ever come across a particular app that is crashing regularly, I'll look for an alternative and/or report the bug if the developer makes it easy to do so.
GovCloud is for government agencies though, mostly to facilitate rules such as no access by foreign nationals. Just because you are in a regulated field doesn't mean you qualify to use it.
(The referenced document is authored by an OpenBSD developer with points to score and an axe to grind; probably best to learn what lessons you can from it, but don't take it as some objective truth about the world.)
There are civic organizations that meet regularly, do work within a community, and either minimize or are avoid religious affiliation.
I had a love-hate relationship with Linux until I tried Fedora Silverblue. It's rock-solid for me and I can rollback on breaking updates with only a reboot or try other WMs with a rebase. Plus toolbox is great for keeping transient development stuff contained in a mutable docker-like (podman) VM.

> I wonder if these food delivery and ride sharing companies are even sustainable. Then reports they use VC money to subsidize things.

They're not, they're all following Thiel's 0 to 1 model and aiming for a monopoly. Over the past 10 year VCs figured out that getting into capital intensive markets where they can use their money to starve out the competition is an easier way to make money than investing in sustainable businesses. They get to raise insane rounds, throw a lot of money around and live off of the management fees.
With ages comes wisdom, wisdom that comes from lessons learned. Sometimes though people learn the wrong lesson, younger people take more risks with their choices and can correct the lessons wrongly accepted by older folk.

It's almost as if being older is more like playing chess, being younger is more like playing checkers?

I don't know where I fit on this but I don't really care about the new language or tech if it doesn't help me reach my goals. For example, I am perfectly fine doing everything in python for most things unless a different language gives me enough of an advantage to reach my goals. A few years ago, I'd hammer it out in C or every other side project is used to try and learn some language. I'd be happy now to do something in Go for example,provided I can guarantee someone other than myself will maintain it and I need really good concurency and network code.
> the Magna Carta (do we even still have that?)

Yes. It was actually issued multiple times (with slightly different wording), and each issue was in multiple copies. The most famous is the original of 1215 of which four copies survive (all in England).

I've seen the manuscript of the 1297 issue which is on display at the Australian Parliament. Another manuscript of the 1297 issue is on display at the US National Archives. I think those are the only two manuscripts outside the UK; there are a dozen or more manuscripts surviving at various locations in England.
I'd be careful making blanket statements like that. If you think Biden is unique because the article might give that impression... You'd better look again. In my estimate, nearly every politician in the House and Senate publicly blame video games for murderers.

Here are a few Republicans saying the same thing a few months ago.

i thought a lot about that and family lineage is not random imo. sure it feels like injust freeby, but coming from problematic ancestry, i can see how having the somatic and emotional genes of wealth capable families is of immense value and that people recognize that implicitly.
I'd think V8 itself could be replaced with Cranelift once that gains a few more features.
What's the point in mentioning this here? Of course they do, but this study wasn't about that.
Clicking through on a particular torrent, till I get the IP list for that torrent, my IP doesn't actually show on that list.

So I suspect a bug in the display, perhaps if you download nothing, it shows incorrect info?
Aside from the cost of CompuServe, OAGEE was free?
I think they have just been joining the most active torrents on popular trackers. You can't watch for what somebody torrents just with their IP address, you have to be watching the torrent itself.
LastPass was also acquired by LogMeIn, which is notorious for really bad software (I'm looking at you GoToWhatever). I switched over to 1P two years ago and haven't looked back. I don't trust LastPass/LogMeIn for as far as I can throw.

That being said, having A password manager is better than having none at all.
I am 30 w after 2 miscarriages and have felt exactly the same. The trauma I experienced when taking my kid to the ER for something totally unrelated was completely surprising. I write to help me process my feelings about the loss and the (hopeful) rainbow after the loss. It’s really surreal to be happy and excited after such a devastating set of losses.

Windows and Office are Trojan horses for Azure. Microsoft does all sorts of SKU trickery at the time of Windows and Office license renewal to make it seem like you can't afford to NOT buy Azure from them.
I did this all the time. Back in the day, it was called fan mail. I've received a few too, and they were quite flattering. Many of these led somewhere. One even led to a successful startup. Sometimes it's just a good pen pal for a few months.
It’s the restaurant that loses most of the money because it’s left with food that it made to order but is not sold.
Sure, but it’s still one of the “cool” frameworks and thus something many claim is new enough to count as a fad.
The Evolution of Mammalian Hearing
As someone who has two kids and hasn't experienced miscarriage, this thread is a reminder of what a privilege that is. Even though miscarriage is surprisingly prevalent (at least surprising in a culture where it's not spoken of), I suspect the trauma isn't even carried. Thanks to everyone for sharing difficult stories. Hopefully the rest of us can do our parts to not stigmatize or be insensitive.
I think it's important to realize that there isn't a 1:1 mapping of LinkedIn Ad <-> Strategy.

LinkedIn, to stay with the example, is going to give you a certain set of tools. How you use those tools is going to depend on your strategy. What that strategy is is going to depend on goals.

If you haven't or can't articulate your goals, you have to start there. Once you know what exactly it is you are trying to achieve, you can evaluate different strategies on how to achieve them (here it helps to also have a good idea of timelines or other constraints too).

So you have a goal (say, double engagement* with mid-career engineers in the next 12 mo), and a strategy (direct communication with targeted individuals, tailored by demographic), you can evaluate a tactic (post LinkedIn adds) and understand how it fits into your strategy based on the tools they give you.

The fine-grained control is just a statement away. When you're not using the $<ident>(...) macros, it's just normal C.

It's pretty much exactly the same like the low-level-C techniques being instantly available for you in C++ or Objective C.
They seem to be doing very well - they have huge multi floor stores in big cities and smaller more modest stores about everywhere else - we even saw one at the edge of pretty rural Izumo during a bus ride!

In general I think there are three main reasons for their success:
1) Price - older books are dirt cheap in Book Off. You can get artbooks, drawing books, manga, fiction, non fictin, even games, cds, dvds for often fifth of the price or even elss. A manga volume that sold for 600 yen will be there for 100 yen for example. Also, you could get even really rare books sometimes, that would cost much more than even their original price on ebay and other auction sites.

2) Japanese still use a lot of physical media. You will still encounter shops full of DVDs, bluerays, music CDs, console and game software on physical media. You don't really see that very often in the west anymore. So that likely translates to books. I am not really sure about the reasons for this - could be an interesting study. :)

3) Like for many things, there is a complete lifecycle for books in Japan. You can buy a new buy while knowing that when you finish reading it you can sell it to Book Off or similar used book chain, tobrecover part of the cost. Then you can buy a new book, rinse and repeat. Could be even related to japanese flats being in general pretty small, so people in Japan might be more inclined to sell books once they are done with them to save space.

This book lifecycle is something I'm really missing here in Europe. You buy a book, read it to the end and then what? There are small "old book" shops, but they mostly have pretty expensive rare old books and seems to be pretty snobbish about what they accept. No way they would accept your one year old SF book you just finished reading, so that someone else can enjoy it while you buy a new one for effectively less.

AFAIK people work around this by selling books via social networks, but this really doesn't come close. Nothing beats comming to Book Off, unloading a bunch of read books for some money and then just browsing for all the gems hidden on the endless shelves. I've ligerarly bought many tens of killograms of books from Book Off. Thannfully, the airline (Alitalia) allows 2 x 23 kg luggage per person, otherwise I would have been rather screwed. :D
I think the questions asked by researchers in #2 are very different from those by that of #1. The questions mostly surround the why's and how's of AI, i.e, mathematical questions. To take examples from deep learning, #2 might ask about the robustness and generalization of deep neural networks, applying dynamics/ODE theory to certain types of neural networks such as ResNets etc.

#1 might ask about the performance of a deep neural network in approximating a given model in a specific application. Alphafold, on the front page currently, is an example of #1.

Government Cloud seems to revolve around “access controls” to the cloud instances. I skimmed over one of specifications (“FedRAMP”) and most of the requirements seem like the standard requirements for any type of multi-tenant system (eg, user login expiry).

Doesn’t seem like it offers anything different from the “non-government” packages.

If I might ask, what would be a better way to respond to pregnancy news, which is sensitive to the relatively high likelihood the other person may have experienced miscarriage?
I own a restaurant and I’ve been on the receiving end of this.

There’s a 6 you’re missing where the customer comes in or calls in an order directly and realizes that the prices are wildly different (in my case it was about $2/item for fast food) and complains about it, including on yelp (ha). They think I’m cheating them when none of the services will let me update the menu or the price.
The company I work for does not deal with health-related data so I don't have direct exposure to the issues. But, I think there is something analogous happening with SOX compliance. It is a very expensive and slow bureaucracy that reacts very poorly to change. For example, once I was mortified to find out that due to me randomly logging in to some SOX-covered server, afterward there were multiple meetings between SOX people and my manager to justify that login. (Manager didn't tell me originally to shield me, I just happened to find out later). Any changes to SOX-covered systems have to go through many meetings with technically not very good SOX team.

As a result what we end up having is this shadow-structure/architecture at the company that is highly resistant to change, such that when new projects are discussed and designed, oftentimes decisions are made that are technically worse but save time due to not messing with the SOX structure.

I feel the Azure choice might be due to a similar phenomenon. Maybe the Azure people promise all sorts of out-of-the box HIPAA compliance and insurance and security etc. and the upper management is happy not having to deal with it. Price difference almost doesn't matter very much, if saving a few bucks means that you'll now have to hire and retain a team to design and maintain compliance in your AWS stack. I've no idea if this is actually what happens but it smells like it.
