The meaning to the reader who believes this is, that poetry can fool and likely in interesting ways. I don't believe 'poetry is meaningless' as a interpretative structure, though the format has the capacity to convey that.

I prefer Tolkein's applicability of art over auteur theory and allegory. A work of Art applies in many different meanings. Allegory and auteur theory exist as a valid interpretation and are too limited to see the whole picture of what art can do. An artist can intend to write a meaningful poem that conveys love and sadness, an audience member can see that as a foolish endeavor. Both are right, when the poem is executed in a manner that provides fuel for both flames.
True, but that's only for delivery. A good editor like Resolve runs mostly on the GPU, even when rendering for delivery -- whether the encoder also uses the GPU is a separate matter. For what it's worth, h.264 GPU encoders are good enough nowadays that there isn't much point using x264 at a fraction of the performance.

In my mind this makes it preferable to opt for a stronger GPU, if you have to decide between a stronger CPU or a stronger GPU (e.g. you have 300 $ left in your budget and want to decide where to put them).
Guy causes Google Maps “traffic jams” by carrying 99 cell phones
Definitely too early to judge, as the product team will eventually optimize the game for the 90th percentile user base recoup the development costs of building this game and maximize sales numbers. If they overshoot the requirements, the available market becomes smaller, which means the price of the game will need to be significant. Another thing to consider - these demos are crafted to be at the highest settings. Expect other rendering options in the final product.
I mean.. I'm a Montrealer as well, and whilst I love this city, let's not kid ourselves. Montreal is not by any means 80% English and you're essentially handicapped if you can't speak French.

You just need to take a stroll in "Plateau" to witness this.
The salaries are also really low and we are the highest taxed province in Canada.

Not OP, but I use Mailbox.org. They have a neat feature where you can give them one or more PGP public keys and they encrypt the bodies of all plaintext emails to those keys. It's not perfect (you're still trusting them to not be compromised) but it means even if your account gets taken over, your email history remains private.
This is wrong. Deadlifts can be as safe as any other exercise if done properly. Find a coach, practice, maintain form and take your time.
Positively draconian. What’s next, health inspections, property tax, it’s all so unfair.
You could drop developer salaries probably 50% without the artificial barrier of immigration restrictions. There are literally millions of developers in the world making 1/4 of what the US pays, but are legally unable to compete for the same positions.

I'm aware of the existence of prediction markets, but I'm not aware of much evidence that they are actually good oracles, especially for events that will happen in the medium to long term. Do you happen to have any evidence you'd like to share about this?

Practically speaking, I don't think this can really work, because I don't think employees will necessarily feel good about betting on things like this. You also have some pretty severe moral hazards when you have employees who stand to gain financially if things go badly for the company. If I take a significant short position on NYC accepting an Amazon headquarters, I now have an incentive to leak negative things about the employer or otherwise sabotage the deal in order to get my contracts to close in my favor.

"you have to start with interesting algorithms. Only when you understand them well, can you come up with an interface that will let them work"

I did just that in my old days when there was no real OOP around. And said interface included data structures that along with regular fields also had pointers to functions with some extra scaffolding around it. I did all of it on my own without having any slightest ideas about OOP. Luckily the actual OOP compilers came out soon.

So here's to you Mr. Stepanov.

You still have to make the back-end service, no matter where it runs. That's the expensive part. The cost of servers is always a rounding error in the budget everywhere I've worked compared to the cost of human labor to program them.

Microsoft Vista was a Windows 7 beta, and was "necessary" to basically experiment on the entire Home market, to make the product stable enough for enterprise.

I was definitely expecting some sort of joke article, but the tech does seem interesting.
I wonder how you found out that Forwardemail is older. You made me curious so I checked and from the whois details, Forwardemail was registered on 10/2017 whereas ImprovMX was registered on 08/2013.

We've acquired ImprovMX in 2017 and greatly improved the service (from a single DO droplet to multiple powerful servers to handle thousands of emails per hours).
Do both. Sous vide to your tastes, then in a hot pan on each side for 3-4 minutes. Best of both worlds, without having to worry about overcooking the outside to get the desired internal doneness.
Suppose the shop sells one item per minute, is open twelve hours a day, and six days a week. Allocating $0.10 per item is $6.00 per hour, $72.00 per day, and $21,000.00 per year. Over 13 years, that's more than a quarter million dollars and more than twice the claimed cost of the ramp. For context, we are talking a dime per item in Silicon Valley. Per this website, a small cup of coffee is $2.00. https://zmenu.com/crema-coffee-roasting-co-san-jose-online-m...
Could it be because people who like their browser tend to tell others about it? I have absolutely nothing to do with Mozilla but I think the internet would be a better place if more people used Firefox.
I'm trying to write more! I forget where I originally read it, but I think Ben Horowitz said something to the effect of "Clear thinking is best expressed in writing, so you can refer back to it later and see if your logic was correct." Been blowing up Confluence at work like a fuckin' fiend, and been blogging a lot more on my personal site.

I don't have any objective measures for this, but I think it's helped me a lot - it gets my head straight about the "why" of actions I've taken. That's valuable, if not terribly measureable!
It would be cool to use Sandstorm to host public-facing apps, so content could be browsed without logging in. For example, hosting a public discussion, chat, or wiki with the simplicity of Sandstorm. From what I recall though, Sandstorm security sandboxing makes it difficult/impossible for Sandstorm hosted apps to be visible to the general public. Has this changed? Is my recollection incorrect?
Maybe this will be the exception, but in general these seem so consumer focused as to be useless. I just want something that can accept some standardized or ad hoc well-documented protocol to do basic raster images or text or something as a baseline. I want something that application developers (and people like myself) can start to hack on and explore where it can go.
Haha, I've always found that me and those CI checks get along pretty well 70% of the time, I made a mistake 20% of the time, and an ignore flag handles the remainder.
If you're lucky enough to be using C11 or C18, sure. There are no alignment keywords in C99. However, that still leaves the aliasing issue, and the fact that objects allocated with malloc() are defined not to overlap with any other object.
Totally agree with you. Recently started moving from non-fiction to poetry and picked up "The Gift", Poems by Hafiz. It refreshing to see how much one can say with a few words.
Seems like this technology, when developed further, could be the sort of thing that https://www.skully.com/ was trying with their original prototype, which was really exciting to me at the time.
I'd be interested what the consent looks like. Did users agree to recording "for quality purposes" or specifically for to-be-defined-in-the-future data modeling?
I don't object. Personally I'd be happy to pay for Firefox Send, or better still for tech support in self-hosting Firefox Sync and Send.
Environmental Impacts of Food: Food Choice vs. Eating Local

I wish more NPM modules were vanilla JS; then it wouldn't be quite so hellish to audit your dependencies or vendor them.

I needed a lib to measure text for layout recently, and ran across https://github.com/soulwire/FontMetrics which is nice and clean and completely self contained. It's a perfect library.
No, my solution was also mostly "brute-forcing from both directions". In the problem thread you can find more elegant solutions that rely on calculating increments, but my approach was very fast (0.3 seconds) so it's good enough for me.
> broken immigration system

It’s really not, though - the point is to only allow people who literally can’t be found anywhere else to migrate. They’re looking for one in a million, not just anybody with a decent education who’s interested in living here. The immigration policy was broken for decades and is just now being fixed. We should expect to see lower, but better, immigration.

Thank you. We're open to suggestions in terms of pricing (believe me, we spent quite some time arguing about the pricing and what to includes :) ).

Thing is the TV's you're only half the customer. That's why the TV's have gotten so cheap, the extra revenue stream from selling data. You can't even buy a dumb TV any more.
Side question: I've been trying to switch to firefox as my main browser but one thing is holding me up. When I'm using a private window, cookies are not shared between private tabs. I can see the advantage to that behavior, but is there a way to share them so that I can be logged into the same site in multiple private tabs? Unironically, I haven't had any luck googling this problem.
Boats drop in value quickly because of maintenance. Sea can be a tough environment, sea water is really corrosive, you need to regularly anti-foul the hull, specialist gear is not cheap etc. You can keep the costs down if you have the time to learn and do some of the work yourself. Wooden boats are even more difficult to keep in good shape. Moreover, you need to rent a mooring for it, which can get really expensive depending on location.

That's the main reason why people half-jokingly say that the two happiest days for a boat owner are the day when they buy it and the day when they manage to sell it. Still it's worth all the effort if you have the time to sail it regularly. Otherwise, chartering (renting) a yacht for a period of time can be a much better option.
If it doesn't matter in your country, you could look at the voting records of the people running for leadership positions, and thereby separate their words from their actions.
English includes a lot more words than most people use regularly. I imagine that's the same in any language. Just expanding one's working vocabulary in one's native language would probably be quite helpful for thinking and expressing oneself more fluently—not that learning another language isn't valuable.

You are a fragile fucking snowflake, and after losing an argument you make a desparate assertion that I'm confused. You're not making coherent arguments get real, you're going on about "nature" for god knows what reason, I'm exhausted just thinking about how disconnected your thoughts are and to actually try and respond would be silly. You sound like you live in a bubble and don't know how to have an adult conversation. And your "ideas" on the subject were just shown to be hollow and wrong, so you have impolitely recused yourself from the conversation. What a child.
I think the tech industry is going to be in a very different place by the end of the decade and so the advice we give to newcomers can't simply be the advice we wish we'd heard when we started out. It's hard to know where things will go but my money is on the low-code/no-code movement really picking up steam and starting to blur the lines between builders and developers.

Conventional wisdom says to find some good online resources like codecademy.com or freecodecamp.org (both of which are very good) and get as much experience as you can in your spare time. Code camps can be great for getting your foot in the door with an employer but the quality of teaching can vary massively. This is still good advice for someone who really wants to learn how to code.

If your friend is happy with a looser definition of "getting into tech", I'd suggest a better first step would be to become proficient with tools like Airtable, Webflow and Parabola. These are really useful tools to learn and help build computational thinking while also having an extremely low barrier to entry. I don't think they are the Killer Apps of the low-code movement but, before the Killer App arrives, I think it's a great place to start. There may even be jobs emerging specifically for these kinds of skills (see makerpad.co). Getting into more serious tech is always an option but starting here would give your friend a taste of what's possible with tech skills.
Specialization is not an end to end solution. It is one specific effect where increase population gets you higher per-item efficiency. There are many other such effects we could be talking about.

> I’m not sure I follow. How will we prevent over-fishing for example?

Fishing is increasingly done in fishing farms. The scale of such farms in the open sea is only worth it for very large markets.

However for most fishing, the solution is actually property rights for a sustainable amount of fish and that is already done in many places.

> Deforestation?

Forest were actually smaller in the middle ages. Modern markets/technology leads to the ability to regrow forest. All the Western world is now reforesting, because proper forestry is actually a sustainable business, no need to deforest.

> I think you can blunt the effects of overpopulation for humans (we probably won’t starve) but at what cost?

The cost are really not that high. High traffic in the densest places is really not that high a cost. Our rivers are cleaner, our food higher quality, our food is cheaper, wild life is actually making a comeback in the Western world, the amount of commercial land use is decreasing, air quality is increasing and the list goes on.

> I would argue even right now we have plenty of people without meaningful work - how will increases in population improve that?

If people have work has far more to do with the political conditions of specific countries then with overpopulation as a whole. Historically places with high population growth and high overall economic growth correlate very well, more people creates lots of demands and new problems that need to be solved. There is really no evidence at all that population increase leads to increase in people out of work.
Nice to see there can be a fashion conscious smart eyewear.

Apple has been rumored to have such a product in the works. If theirs were this cool, I could see them really taking off.
I think it'd be really nice to offer Sandstorm in a pre-built box someday. I run Sandstorm on an Intel NUC which is a little overkill for the task, personally, but the form factor is pretty nice.

I think it's hard to sell people on a cloud box that can't do everything people want to do on the cloud. One missing app can (and sometimes does) make or break someone's interest in a platform.

Them's fighting words. I think Elm and F# have the most readable syntax of the ML languages I've encountered thus far.
Value of your comment being? It does not matter where it comes from, just that is cool, useful, readable and it might be a great idea to add it to JS, same as it is already in f#, oCaml, Elixir, etc etc etc.
You're right, of course. What I meant to say is I was significantly below 100% (around 80) on every single core.

Therefore I really thought it couldn't have been a CPU bottleneck (since one would assume it could have scaled at least another 10% on every core, but in the end it was.
I understand the need to keep adding resistance, though as my sibling commenter says, I think you're understating the potential of pure bodyweight progressions to increase strength. Exercises like one arm push ups, one arm chin ups, hand stand push ups, planches, pistol squats, nordic curls, etc. can be equivalent to seriously heavy weights and there are plenty of options for gradually progressing toward them. Lots of muscle bound guys who can lift a lot of weight still aren't strong enough do any of these advanced bodyweight moves.

But anyway, what does that have to do with comparing burpees to squats/push ups? :)
I'm not proposing to deprive anyone of the vote if they are willing to show themselves to be responsible.

I would make a simple criteria: if you are a net taxpayer, you get to vote. If you are a net loss to the government, you don't get to vote.

If people have control over their circumstances, then they will be able to arrange their life in such a way that they can enable their voting power and vote responsibly.
Amiga was founded by Jay Miner and other ex-Atari people, and Atari was going to buy Amiga until Commodore swooped in.

Jack Tramiel, Commodore's ex-CEO, bought Atari. The Atari ST is very much what a Commodore still led by Tramiel would have introduced: The largest statistics for the lowest cost (ST advertisements really emphasized how little one paid for a 512KB or 1MB computer) and a rudimentary DOS. The Amiga very much reflects its Atari 8-bit heritage: Sophisticated coprocessors for everything, and emphasis on high quality components over low cost.

> Tinder isn't about "mating", it's about hook-ups (primarily)

You can separate sex from mating in your conscious mind but most of your mind is not conscious.

Your view of human behavior is overly simplistic/idealized. We don't choose what we find attractive and most of what motivates us are chemical systems that are beyond our understanding. You can consciously posit that sex is "something pleasurable that people do to feel good" but that's how not how you, or anyone, really feels about sex if you go even an inch below the surface.

> This is obviously fallacious. Women and men often both desire very smiliar things in a relationship, known as the ability to reciprocate. Whether that's emotional support, working a job, or giving oral sex.

"The ability to reciprocate" is a pretty broad category. What men find attractive in women is very different from what women find attractive in men. If you want to learn about what women find attractive in men, there's a billion dollar industry that caters to women's fantasies. Read Twilight, 50 Shades of Grey, or nearly any romance novel.
Michael Bacall is adapting it for HBO. He worked with Edgar Wright to adapt Scott Pilgrim, so I am cautiously optimistic.

UK is not a good counterexample here. It also uses the first-past the post voting system, which trends towards two parties since any third party becomes a spoiler.

With a different voting system there would be a wider range of smaller parties, so you don't need to wrest control of a major party to be represented.
My inclination is that protecting only new commits might be enough, but it gets me thinking: What would a practical attack on this look like, assuming sha1 was broken? Let's say I'm trying to insert a line of code that does something nefarious, and that it's now trivial to generate "magic text" you can stick anywhere in a file (eg, inside a comment at the end of a line) to get any desired sha1 hash.

Are all the other future commits still valid, or am I going to suddenly get conflicts or garbled text? Depending on where the modification is done, that code might have gone through much more churn -- especially if there are a bunch of sha-256 commits after it (which I can't attack). I don't know enough about how git stores content blobs to answer this.

Second problem: Can I push my replacement commit to another repository (eg, github)? Would even force push work? Do I have to delete branches and re-push my own? If I already have enough permission on the repository to do this, it means I can already push whatever I want -- so does this attack even matter at all?

Assuming that's successful (or I can trick people into using my own repository), what will happen to someone that already has a clone and does a pull? Will they get my change (and will it work or be a pile of conflicts or garbled text)?

Even if only fresh clones will get the changes it could still be quite devastating -- especially if using CI -- but I'm just not clear if this attack is even theoretically possible.
