IANAL, but IMO LinkedIn goofed by using the CFAA. eBay and BiddersEdge had a similar case, and eBay won, preventing scraping of its website using trespass:

https://casetext.com/case/ebay-v-bidders-edge

I can see both sides of this, and am not sure which is better. If a site is not allowed to block traffic, does that mean blocking a DDOS attack is illegal? What if the company doing the scraping is so aggressive about it that they are impacting performance?

One fair way (to me) would be to figure out how many pages a typical user looked at per month, and if a company is scraping the site, they are limited to accessing it like one customer; they can't launch 100 threads to scarf down data as fast as possible. This probably wouldn't work for most scrapers' businesses, but it seems reasonable from the origin web site's POV.

Another possibility would be to require web sites that accept and then publicize user submissions to give users a choice about whether they want to make their information public. If they do, the hosting site has to include the information in a publicly-accessible feed, like a daily compressed download. This seems reasonable to me, because the hosting site is getting all kinds of information for free from users. It's not like it would take a lot of effort to do a streaming JSON dump of the stuff that changed every day, and if necessary, they could throttle the download rate, but not so low that the data for a day couldn't be downloaded in a day. Ie, a competitor might be a day behind, but no more. Of course, the competitor would have to publish a feed too, allowing other people to lunch off of them just like they are lunching off other sites.

With LinkedIn, all of the information they obtain and publish is submitted by users, so for LI to say they "own" this information makes no sense. At least with eBay, the current auction price is not not something the user submitted, assuming it has bids.
That's the price you set for your personal privacy? What painting you look like?
Neither of these helped put anything into perspective for me. I don't know how many FB employees there are. Even if I did, I don't know how much they're being paid. And even if I knew that, I don't know how much FB makes per year.
Yeah, the 7-bit amplitudes really wreck things. I switched from MIDI to OSC basically because of the better resolution, though I eventually gave up due to the lack of support for the protocol.
Sure not everyone is always going to be using it at the same time, but streaming times are going to be around the same because most people will clock off at around the same time, and new technology such as Google Stadia, the introduction of 4k streaming, etc. mean that it's very likely that people will start needing more bandwidth soon, no?

Also the target audience of this, the people that will be able to afford it, are going to be highly paid people (assumption: it's going be charged higher than 30£/month, or even £60/mo) who will be more likely to do those sorts of activities due to having more free time.
That could be an argument for carbon pricing. If you price in the externalities people might reconsider if they need to use quite so much.
The iPad by virtue of its form factor, sucks for typing anything longer than a short message. You can't hold it comfortably like a smartphone, or place it on an unsturdy surface like a laptop. Everything about the typing experience on an iPad feels distinctly second class.

This is a problem for a computing device because writing is a pillar of human culture and economy. A device that places writing second is a device that has excluded itself from vast swathes of what people use computers for.

iPads are good at many thing that involves passive consumption, or drawing using the Pencil, or pressing buttons, etc.

I have an iPad and it complements my laptop well - I use it for reading music. The iPad is not a failure. But it's also not replacing my laptop. It is an accessory to it. I'm sure that Apple, a company that sold me both devices, is ecstatic about that.
Shake Shack --- at least the original --- is an internationally recognized excellent burger. But leave it aside, if you want, as a chain. The other burgers are celebrity, destination burgers; "make arrangements well in advance to get them" burgers (though you can get Au Cheval's burger easily at Small Cheval now).

American cheese is the standard, at the high end and the low end, for burgers that aren't eaten with a knife and fork. The reason is that it has superior functional properties to other cheeses: it remains emulsified when melted, and easily melts completely.

At this point, I'd probably just send to you J. Kenji Lopez-Alt if you want to read more about the virtues of American cheese. It's useful stuff. Ironically, though, I'm here in the thread to talk it down as "cheese". It's a good product. It's not good cheese.

>Not because of a debt burden, there is nothing wrong with long term public sector debt financing.

To an extent...

>The problem is the asset bubble in home ownership prices.

I just want to point out that these two are, are somewhat tied together as of the recent decade.

A lot of central banks around the world have been doing QE type things, which consists of printing money in exchange for taking assets off the market in (supposedly) equivalent value until they (central banks) are repaid the printed money to destroy. This arguably causes inflation - not in the traditional sense, but in the form of asset price bubbles. The reason they're doing this stuff is because of the lack of liquidity in the market regarding financing debts. In the US in particular, a large part of the FED's balance sheet is composed of mortgage backed securities (houses) and government debt (bonds) which money was printed for...

Anyhow, the point I’m trying to make here, is that the public debt burden we have is a contributing factor to the asset bubbles we see in housing and stocks and other areas...
You are all missing the forest for the trees.

Yes, "rural internet" is expensive because there's no profit there.

Do you think elon "popular priced tesla model available tomorrow" musk will go for the no-profit regions or advertise a $999/mo premium-plan killer that wins the US-telcos marketing pissing contest of "largest coverage"?

The post you are replying to states a fact that regardless of the reach of the satellite signal, it is a very limited capacity in number of subscribers if it will offer decent bandwidth for the good-profit market (let even ignore the certain claims of ludicrous gb/s that will show up on twitter eventually...)

they put in $10bi on this? Remember 3G and 4G expansion happened with the regular $?bi invested by the telcos plus $5bi for free by benevolent taxpayers. And even with all that free money nobody cared about these regions.

Maybe the discomfort of feeling like a noob helps temper the gratification of novelty and curiosity.

Sometimes it feels like a balancing act, I want to learn everything, but at the same time the valley of noobness forces me to pick the things that seem particularly interesting. Novelty causes exploration, while the discomfort of learning produces exploitation of only some things.

You have mentioned a neat point that illustrates some of the complexity of an "image" like the ones shown.

After 20 or so minutes poking around, I'm not 100% sure what instrument took the images in the OP. There are five focal planes that can get the light from this much-anticipated solar telescope, which has been envisioned and prototyped going back at least 20 years.

Anyway, I think the instrument for the images was VBI, the Visible Broadband Imager (https://www.nso.edu/telescopes/dkist/instruments/vbi/). It takes images in 8 spectral bands, in the visible range. But these bands are very narrow, like 0.5nm or less. (Solar astronomy is cool that way, lots of photons of whatever energy you want.) The specific bands have been carefully selected.

One band that page calls call "continuum" (sometimes referred to as "pseudo-white-light", found in the "spectral resolution" submenu) is at 450nm, in the blue. All the 8 various bands illustrate activity at different altitudes in the solar atmosphere. The 450nm band will be from the solar photosphere, where sunspots and other familiar features live. Some others are much higher up, and sunspots will not be present as such in those bands.

If this conjecture is true, the displayed images are taken in a very narrow slice of spectrum around 450nm (or another one around 668nm, which is in red) and then mapped through a black/orange/yellow/white color map for display. This kind of "colorization" is pervasive throughout solar astronomy, and used universally by astronomers themselves for their own science images. (Visit https://umbra.nascom.nasa.gov/newsite/images.html and weep.)

As hinted in your last sentence, it's not at all clear what a "correct" colormap for light from 450nm +/- 0.5nm should be. Shades of blue?

For more on your point: http://solar-center.stanford.edu/SID/activities/GreenSun.htm... (old-fashioned site, but technically 100% solid).

I agree with everything you've said. I was a bit sloppy in not mentioning the trade-offs. My "fast enough" remark was certainly not for handling large datasets. The parent comment had asked why Lucene was not used for Typesense and my response was specifically to that point. Typesense targets a different set of use cases involving small-medium datasets where an interactive search experience is importnat.
This was true when a tray of disk was 10s of thousands of dollars. In the world of 32TB SSDs that are tens of thousands of dollars for a single disk, not so much. As drives have gotten larger, the need to add only a handful of drives to an existing RAID set has become a desirable feature even for enterprises.

I preferred the Bolt because it had similar and adequate range, adequate recharge capability, better drive, felt substantially roomier in the interior, and I preferred the higher seating.

I have no use for an infotainment system in any vehicle (give me a hotspot and I'll bring my own devices). I disliked the Tesla center mounted tablet console dashboard, though that's subjective.

I don't think the Tesla drives itself, does it? That was not a factor for me, and if anything would be a mild negative at the current level of self-driving tech maturity. At any rate, the Bolt had some useful driver assist packages for safety, though they are upgrades. I think they both have fairly similar safety ratings. And speed isn't a consideration for me, as long as it goes fast enough for highway. Nor is appearance, within reason.

I really am thrilled for Tesla's success and don't think there is a "right car" but a "right car for you". The Bolt is a good car, though.
The address is used to show you a google street view pointing in the exact direction and part of the sky the satellites will cross. It's a super useful feature because it would otherwise be really hard to tell what angle or what part of the sky to watch. And accusing the guy of harvesting PII? Get a grip.
I've been on connections where the ISP (AT&T) tried this due to an ancient backhaul where it grossly over-committed on bandwidth. The neighbors would have kids home after school streaming three netflix 4k streams, and we would watch our speeds tank. Some bizarre QOS config seemed to prioritize their connection over ours. It ticked me off enough I almost started deauthing their devices because I couldn't load a simple web page.

On the other hand, we finally got FTTH and it's great. So nice to have good speeds.
I agree with this. When you are creating a mobile experience for a website, you typically are burdened by the knowledge and existing designs/functionality of the desktop version which was usually built first.

When you are designing for a mobile app, you are free from the shackles that bind you to the desktop.

Of course, there is nothing stopping you from creating a separate web mobile experience, but human nature makes it harder to do so.
Do you have any data on the true prevalence of cell data coverage in Africa? A coverage map would be cool, but an estimate of the % of people who live in a covered location would also be useful.

Paid CLI application has to beat free ones, and that's not happening.

Either the paid CLI applications runs locally, in which case it faces decades of experience and intelligence in the commonly used tools created by present and past computer scientists and professionals, which are all free.

Or it is the front of something much bigger, like AWS CLI, the cli itself is free but the services behind it is not, but that narrowly defined "cli-application" is still free.

I do something similar, but I also check in my notebooks with all the output cells cleared. It’s not perfect but I can see what changes between commits.

While most of my code is in my modules, I still like having the actual notebook versioned.
I'd love a platform similar to Patreon, but for new devs (particularly in developing nations) where they can post their work and receive mentorship/sponsorship.

Especially for those of us who work in major US cities, sponsoring a dev in the position of the young man described in this post wouldn't be very hard.
Even if true, that's not very comforting. The real estate market is once again at ridiculous levels...
I used to think the same as you but it's not exactly what you think. The front motor is a bit smaller than rear so at cruising speeds on the highway, the rear motor disengages and the front can handle the speed while using less KW even with the added weight of the extra motor.

I don’t think they are very related, aside from both being useful.

I use primarily for doing stepwise development. I also use them for a decent way to see the output of my code, usually tables and charts.

I have unit tests for the various modules and classes created.
They could sell a lot of semis and cybertrucks if they were ready.

> yet the API is all over the place

This so much. I've answered quite a bit of pandas on SO, and I have to say the APIs are a mess. There are always multiple ways to do things, there are hidden traps that can lead to huge run times, and stuff that are just wildly un-pythonic.

It's still the best general data processing has to offer. But a smaller, cleaner package might just take the cake.
Best Selling Marketing Ebooks for Founders
Go's channels aren't exposed outside a specific go process's runtime. The runtime doesn't give you any convenient way to redirect them. They're not like erlang's mailboxes at all in that regard.

Furthermore, channels aren't the primitive used for multiplexing IO / handling connections on a socket in go. You typically have a goroutine (e.g. 'http.ListenAndServe' spins up goroutines), and the gorutines are managed not by channels, but by the internal go runtime's scheduler and IO implementation (which internally uses epoll).

Because of all those things, replacing a running go process that's listening on sockets is no different from that same problem in C. You end up using SO_REUSEPORT and then passing the file-descriptors to the new process and converting them back into listeners. Channels don't end up factoring into it meaningfully.

If you're interested in what this looks like, cloudflare wrote a library called tableflip [0] which does this. I also forked that library [1] to handle file-descriptor handoff in a more generic way, so I've ended up digging pretty deeply into the details of how this works in go.

The Geopolitics of a Changing Arctic
In the context of C++ it means that you don't have to make changes to your code when a new language version comes out. Because old broken features are preserved for eternity even if severely dysfunctional. Most of the hard work of learning C++ is learning all the "gotchas" that will sneak in and cause undefined behaviour or worse.

That's why people have a love/hate relationship with it. The language is full of BS but the path of least resistance is to learn the ins and outs of the BS rather than to do a full rewrite of your huge codebase in a sane language. Learning the ins and outs of C++ is a one time hit, after that you can use it quite happily. So new projects get started in C++ and the cycle repeats.
In those places, old Apple hardware isn't significantly cheaper than new hardware. You might get a 25% discount for a degraded experience (security updates may end in ~3 years) or buy much older hardware (e.g. 9 year old models) that cannot run current macOS and Xcode, etc.

And yes, a local PC can work out to lower prices due to specific tax arrangements, sourcing components straight from manufacturers and assembling them locally.
There are side effects from the status quo, too. Having a regulated safe source of product is better than allowing amateur mycologists to go out in the field and poison themselves as they do now. It doesn't matter what the law says, people who want to do drugs will find and do drugs, so we might as well make it a little safer.

Hard links are essentially the filename that points to an inode. Creating a hard link creates just another filename associated with the same inode. Once a hard link, always a hard link, until destroyed.

Reflink has its own fs metadata including inode, with (initially) shared extents. Those shared extents can have their blocks individually and independently modified, per file. The point at which there are no more shared blocks, they're not reflinks.
perhaps it's possible through enough layers of indirection to create plausible deniability... but generally this type of transaction would be considered self-dealing, which is illegal.
