Depends on if the software you use has packages built for arm. Most major ones do. If so, trivial.

If not, if you have a good CI/CD pipeline, you can just build them yourselves. In that situation, not too bad.

If you don't build your own software and packages you need don't have arm builds, a bit more difficult - you'r going to have to start building things.

If you're using proprietary software, you're at their mercy.
This topic (comments here, the OP, and comments in threads elsewhere) exposes some conflicting definitions of what an "internal monologue" is or means.

- Some people describe hearing their internal monologue, which I take to mean something like: they have an internal monologue, and it manifests as a voice that only they hear. These people are analogous to those who see things they picture in their mind's eye.

- Some people describe not hearing their internal monologue, which I take to mean something like: they interpret "internal monologue" as a metaphor for their train of thought or stream of consciousness; they think of themselves as having an internal monologue (i.e., they are thinking in language), but don't experience it as a voice. These people are analogous to all of the aphantasics surprised that the mind's eye isn't just a metaphor.

- Some people describe not having an internal monologue. I suspect these people are a mix of those who think in language but interpret the term "internal monologue" as requiring hearing a voice, and people who'd describe their thought process as nonlingual in some way (visual, abstract, etc.)

Across these characterizations, different people describe their thought process(es) all over the place WRT to how compulsory/voluntary/consistent they are. Some of the people who "see" things do this consciously; others can't help but picture things they read or think or hear. Some people describe a conscious/conditional train of thought, while others describe one that is racing/intrusive/incessant.
Having conversations with yourself and re-playing conversations is different from narrating things like a voice over though. I do the former, and I believe that's quite normal, but not the later.
I don't see why not. In fact, it would be "cheaper" for them because they do not need to pay the value added tax to your non-EU company. Sure they'd get that eventually back from the tax office if they were paying just another Finnish company, but it would still take a bit of time.
Setting number of infected humans at 30k, there can be as many as 300 deaths for mortality to be limited to 1%.

Unfortunately, both numbers are fluid, but the assumption is that death count is less so. If the number of deaths is underreported by orders of magnitude then my argument would not stand of course.

EDIT: I consider the number of deaths unlikely to be very underreported based on personal communication with folks in China and HK. There is a fair amount of panic on social media, but “someone I knew died, it seems related to the new virus and deaths may be underreported” so far seems not among the things people panic about. Most panic (some of which is being blown out of proportion for hype and metrics by less than scrupulous sources) appears to be fueled by other things: number of people admitted to the hospital, possible hospital staff infections, and others panicking.
> the same way you would talk about the concepts out loud to someone else.

But isn't this extremely exhausting and time-consuming? And if it indeed works this way, then where do you think the idea you are trying to formulate in your inner monologue comes from?
Another Indian-born tech CEO? It's incredible. IBM joins Microsoft, Google, Adobe, Nokia, and Harman in this regard. Also, MasterCard and PepsiCo (until 2018). I wonder how much it's a cultural thing.
"Get to the point, will ya?!"

Vice versa, for the past couple of years I've started practicing verbally walking people through my entire thought process from beginning to end. I found that this has been useful in eliminating misunderstandings. It's tiring though, I'll give you that, so I only do it when I believe that it will have long-term positive impact.
The ideology you are pushing will self-reinforce.

If everyone rewards companies for being nasty because that's somehow "smart" or "successful", then the nasty companies will be among the most successful ones.

If everyone boycotts companies that do unethical things, then those companies will be punished financially and ethical behavior will be economically incentivized.

This is interesting. I hear from others that their dreams are very mundane, i.e. very similar to real life. Mine are very crazy, absurd adventures. Very fun and mind-blowing to remember them when waking up, so I am training my dream recall. In my dreams familiar people from all stages in my life meet together. I always thought I dreamt them in great detail, but I have now learnt that only their 'essence' is there. Just enough for me to know as a fact it is them.

I am also trying to become a lucid dreamer (with full awareness during the dream). I succeeded several times, but only very briefly. The excitement causes me to wake up. But the best way for me to know I'm in a dream is when I am reading some text. Texts are inconsistent and when I reread a sentence it might be completely changed.
> Sometimes, if it's not broke, don't try to "fix" it.

I'm going to interpret this as "if your monolith is broke, breaking it up into microservices won't fix it"
I think Ihave control over how I think. An internal monologue is great for remembering in order. But I rebuild as an image of keywords which is great for connecting but the words blur. I rebuild as a map to navigate with a mental car. I rebuild as a shape to trigger my eyes, a sound for my ears...

However the last week I've been stuck on naming "a complete thought", not just a vision which is just an image. But one that breaks through unconnected to any sense. A thought so full that it first needs to be unpacked in language, image, shapes and steps before it can be expressed. Thus like the article: does anyone else have this? Does anyone have a name for it?
> except that IBM manages to show up with some positive cash flow at the end of the day, unlike modern VC darlings

Comparing IBM to a VC funded startup doesn't make any sense to me. Big old tech companies (like IBM) in Silicon Valley mostly do turn a profit, some quite a bit more than IBM.
It's handled by your http client which may or may not be part of the OS or even something in between (speaking of Android, it's probably far more likely to be on the OS side on iOS but if the OS allows raw TCP then it can't really keep an app from running its own http(s) on top of it).

A frequent problem on android that might lead some to throw validation under the bus, is that certificate validation is much less robust than the one in browsers, particularly on old devices. A typical scenario is that the certificate of one of your backend approaches EOL, ops dutifully obtain a new one and it checks out nicely on all browsers. But a whole bunch of older Androids that might make up a quarter of your user base of you are unlucky has never heard of the root certificates involved so the app becomes unusable. A similar situation can arise if you have clients that check revocation (good) but don't check for alternative signature chains like a modern browser would do (not so good).

The correct way to solve these situations is extending the server configuration with another certificate chain that is valid on the devices in question, no doubt about that. But when the app is not a core use of the backend and there server is not run by the same organization, breaching the wall of "but it works in all browsers, clearly the error must be on your side" defense can be quite hard. Nontechnical leadership will be extremely tempted to do the writing thing.
I despise YAML but like Markdown. They serve different purposes. Markdown is a light-weight way to format prose. YAML is a config language. Markdown is pretty good at formatting prose. YAML is a disaster confusing syntax unsuitable for configs past about 100 lines.

We have a 1500 line YAML file for our test config because YAML is the one true method for setting up tests. The issues I've run into:

- Indentation errors. Luckily CircleCI has a YAML validator, but the fact that a validator is required isn't great.

- true, false, yes, no. Why?

- date and number coercion vs strings.

- YAML has aliases which in theory let you reuse config. Except you can't compose aliases, like have JavaTest inherit config from GitHubReporter and SlackReporter.

My view is that complex configs should be generated from a reproducible binary, preferable in a real programming language with loops, conditionals, and some form of easy composition. Dhall, jsonnet [2], or Cue [3] are all interesting languages in this space.

Oh please YES, the "not worth it", followed by an option to "please take me back to previous path before (because) latest fork = mistake". The very idea of judging the overall travel is a good start (at the end, when they prompt you) but individual datapoints should be reportable as well. I'm pretty sure this would massively help build a dataset with "annotated" cases (good / bad) for RNNs.

> I’d often prefer a slightly slower route that’s less work to drive.

Me too, and I suspect most people — like, when is it ever a good option to avoid a free highway to save 1 minute when the driving is twice or more fatiguing? Are we bodyless machines or animals with a concept for "tired" and "attention"? This is where I feel recent evolutions in DL have been, perhaps, more for the benefit of developers and researchers (efficiency), and maybe not for real human benefits on the user side.

I don't claim the problem is easy, but I know second-hand that what users want and what AI projects solve for may be two very different X.
In the last 6 months, I’ve been using Ledger[0] and loving it. It’s entirely manual by default, but the principles it uses feels like having a static type system for my finances. The Plain Text Accounting site[1] also has several related resources.

LWN has a running series[2] on different accounting systems that you might find useful as well.

It's a little of both. There are plenty of people who genuinely believe they can help keep gentrification at bay if they preserve the housing approval systems that exist now. In practice that can mean anything from blocking everything to using approvals to extract design and donations to charities.

There are also, as you say, those who are quite privileged and wish to preserve that. To them, gentrification is a great way to scare other people into averting change.
You could align incentives this way by structuring the deal to include a three year "service and support" component. You can build that in to provide a fixed cost yet at the same time have the flexibility to charge more if your cost structure has changed after the time passes.
I think this is what happens in open systems. The alternative is walled gardens, like FB messages. Even those suffer from spam, although it's much less of the wild west.
The worst part about javascript failing is a lot of time it doesn't do it at the thing that is the problem.

I've run into a lot of cases in node where I passed something not quite right to a crypt library but didn't find out until like 2 pages later. Usually for things that in python would throw an exception immediately.
It was heavily traded but there was an equal amount written/sold as bought.

Were the writers/sellers lacking of foresight? Were buyers prescient? Was everyone gambling?
I remember thinking when the RH deal was first announced, IBM should pull a NeXT/Apple and just let the Red Hat executives take over the new company.

Really, do the math. Take the sun's mass, and multiply by average absolute temperature and the specific heat of hydrogen. That'll be a huge number, but far less than the sun's energy output.

You could also compare energy output with what's possible through thermal conduction, based on the sun's radius, its density at various depths, and the heat transfer coefficient of hydrogen.
If there's one thing I've learned over my time as an engineer, it's that there's far fewer people actually doing anything than you expect. I've worked with engineers building 5G infrastructure, the people who are actually doing the work probably account for a few dozen, but add the managers, sales, marketing, business development, and bloody project manager and you're up to hundreds immediately. It's always a nice surprise when you end up in a meeting and someone utters a shibboleth and ting this guy must actually do the work!
Similarly, talking is a solved problem. Talking, so that people will listen, is not.

Communication is much more than just broadcasting, just as email is about more than sending emails.

Re: more pragmatic Perl 6 or similar.

Please note that Perl 6 has been pragmatically renamed to Raku (https://raku.org using the #rakulang tag on social media).
I realized about 30 years ago that for me, it's food (much like the conversation in the article).

I mean, there is food that I dislike, and food that I don't dislike, but it took a long time to realize that other people genuinely, deeply, love and enjoy food in a way that I don't, and will probably never, understand. Food, for me, is just a thing I need to eat to continue living.

I didn't even realize that I was unusual about this for a long time. I thought I was pretty normal!
I've been a DJ/record collector for two decades, run a vinyl marketplace[0], have subscriptions to several streaming sites, and I still get so bored of my own taste and what the algorithms give me. The radio has again become a bit part of my listening in the last few years.

Personal favourites are UK's BBC 6 Music, and a small Lisbon-based station called Oxygenio[1]

You can turn any black and white camera into a color camera by taking 3 pictures with a red, green, and blue filter. Obviously only works with a static subject.

I must admit 12MP is lower than I expected. It seems the intent was to use large pixels to get huge tonal range rather than small pixels for resolution.
Smalltalk isn't homoiconic?

You can certainly eval parts of a python or ruby program (although indentation-as-block needs some care in python).

In lisp you also need a useful scope (eg: if foo isn't bound "(foo 1 2)" won't be very useful).
«cases that get reported are biased towards people who get more sick»

True, the data is biased.

«the 20-56% mortality rate claimed based on guessing N=6 is inconsistent with the mortality rates outside of China, where no one has died so far»

It's not statistically inconsistent. When China had 100 cases confirmed, they had reported only 2 deaths. Now there are 100 cases outside China, so statistically we should expect 2. 0 actual vs 2 expected is statistically insignificant. Also the rest of the world is so much more prepared after the wake-up alarm call from China that out of the 100 confirmed outside China, they are probably receiving superior healthcare than overwhelmed Chinese hospitals. I would expect the mortality rate outside China to be slightly inferior.

It also means though, that the first death outside China should happen soon. I predict in the next week.
Luckily legal prodrugs of LSD exist, compounds which metabolize into LSD before reaching the brain like 1P-LSD and ALD-52. In the United States, you can order these off the clearnet without fear of legal repercussions, unlike shrooms. (although psilocin has its own collection of legal prodrugs available including, for example, 5-MeO-DMT and 4-HO-MET).
People don't move to a place because that place has cheap housing, otherwise people would be piling into the countryside. People move places with better economic opportunities for them and their families, generally that means jobs but it also means low crime, good schools, entertainment options and more.

As for companies moving, there is good and bad about your hq being located close to other hqs and good and bad locating away, but there is generally far more good in locating together. Shared talent, shared training...
Python community request to postpone breaking changes in Python 3.9 to 3.10
You're right, I definitely won't if it costs $106k. ;)
I suspect the author is exaggerating a bit when he says it's the only way he thinks. I also have the "narrative voice" but I absolutely can think about things without the voice, it just doesn't feel as much like "thinking", if that makes sense.

There are some things that are explicitly visualized, like an object I'm thinking about, where I wouldn't say in my head "I am imagining the sun. It is bright. Etc. etc.". I'd just picture the sun, and my "narrative" would probably be about why I was thinking about the sun, not describing it.

Same applies for more abstract concepts, just without the visualization.
ZOHO is the only one I can find that still offers a free tier with a custom domain. Their lite $1/month/user account might be an ok fit for you.

It's crazy how the norm has become $5/user/month for something that every web-host on the planet used to charge $.10/user/month for. "But it includes file storage". Yeah, because cable TV tiers is what I always hoped for in tech. /s
Maintenance programs don't grab headlines like the initial program to build does. Unless it's an extremely large package like what Trump proposed (what happened to that one?), it's just not sexy enough to get ink
It's won't necessarily catch every single thing, but Spotify's automatically-generated weekly "Release Radar" does an excellent job of aggregating new releases for me.

I believe it's based on both artists you have explicitly followed on Spotify and also ones you've simply listened to a lot.
Another one to add: if N is big enough, even statistically improbable events like single bit flips in memory become likely or even nigh-certain. For example, if you set up a bunch of fake domains that differ from real domains in a single bit, you might get upwards of a dozen hits per day from clients clearly trying to reach the real service - this is called Bitsquatting: http://dinaburg.org/bitsquatting.html

For example, setting up the server "mic2osoft.com" (a one-bit-flip error from microsoft.com) yielded this request:

msgr.dlservice.mic2osoft.com 213.178.224.xxx "GET /download/A/6/1/A616CCD4-B0CA-4A3D-B975-3EDB38081B38/ar/wlsetup-cvr.exe HTTP/1.1" 404 268 "Microsoft BITS/6.6"

This is a machine trying to download some kind of update package from the wrong server because somewhere in its memory the "r" from "microsoft.com" got flipped to a 2 (0x72 -> 0x32).
We used to do that but dynamodb being very dynamic (which we like) makes it harder to use a declarative schema. ES auto detect the schema which makes it a breeze. I’d say try with JSON fields but I don’t think you’ll get great query speed
Err...

Amateurs trade OOM options because they think it is going to pop. That volume is very small.

Most of OOM volume comes from trading complex spreads.
Yes, we've imposed tactical (and strategic) limitations due to operational risks in our current wars/engagements. The B-2 for example, will never fire a shot in anger since there are so few airframes. It'll be retired in short order after the deployment of the B-21.

Same with the F-22. Other than a token deployment to the Mideast with a sortie or two in Syria, they won't see combat unless we get in a hot war with a peer. And until recently, they lacked the required capabilities to attack ground targets. No need to risk them for bomb truck missions.

My real worry is that our risk aversion will cause a conventional war to go nuclear in short order, when a more robust conventional military would be able to prevent that. Imagine if we lost a CVN to the Chinese? 5000+ sailors and airmen dead.

Expensive housing is a feature and not a bug for the tech industry. They prefer to hire young, single workers because they will work longer hours in worse conditions, and if they can keep them rent- and commute-burdened they are less likely to switch jobs, start a family, take up a hobby, etc.

That was surely most Red Hatters' dream, but Arvind Krishna as CEO is probably the best possible outcome for Red Hat among the realistic ones (not counting that Whitehurst will be President, while Ginny Rometty was President and CEO).

Arvind Krishna was "Jim Whitehurst's boss" until now (Red Hat is under the IBM cloud division), and back when the acquisition was announced in 2018 he visited one of the Red Hat offices for a sort of "town hall" meeting. He almost unanimously made a very good impression, and he won over quite a few employees that at the time were skeptical about the acquisition.
I use both modes. For speaking to people directly, I use an internal monologue. For coding or abstract though, I can feel the model.
Tri-X not T-MAX just a decade ago?

Long term there is no fix unless immigration is halted which is not going to happen. There is a virtually unlimited supply of people who want to come to this country. I live here in LA, the homeless problem has been accelerating dramatically over the last few years in spite of a "booming" economy. It bothers be that my opinion gets labeled all sorts of inaccurate names and it bothers me even more when people on the left talk about care and concern for the environment when allowing a developed population to find a balance with nature, happened naturally in the West and far East, would be one of the best things possible for the planet but a global lust for infinite economic growth clearly has won. There is an insane about of propaganda and race baiting which goes into making sure this idea is never openly talked about. Is there someone who can explain to me how I'm wrong about my long term view of Southern California?
I definitely agree. Unearthed is killer for good quality, unknown music.
This is downvoted, but correct. You can programmatically tap into a Gmail account and send 20-30 emails per day, which adds up to the 500/mo.
That would have let you know when to expect the impact, but not eliminate the impact itself.

Occasionally people versioned their module's APIs, which seemed like a cleaner way to handle the module update, as you don't have to update everything at once. They only went to that effort when they realized they'd have to update thousands of callers.
The Trouble with Semantics
Stumbled on this wiki entry looking up some genomics stuff, but struck a chord wrt a project I'm working on regarding long-term storage of memories in biological neural nets (i.e. what are the meta-stable properties of BNN that afford the persistence of memory traces in a system that undergoes continuous turnover).
You can do change data capture with Debezium.

Recently the Netflix engineering blog mentioned a tool called DBLog too, but I don’t believe they’ve released it yet.
If Caltech ever framed their lawsuit in those terms, I would agree with you. I doubt they have. Caltech clearly has a history of patent trolling.
