It sounds like a very incompetent optometrist (and if they weren't one, someone basically impersonating one). They're eye specialists after all who go to a 4-year post-undergraduate program, just not M.D. doctors. At a minimum, they should presumably have told your wife to book an appointment with an ophthalmologist immediately.
Do you recall these rules? I'm rather curious about them.
IANAL, but as I understand it CC0 is equivalent to public domain in jurisdictions where the concept of "public domain" exists. It's an abstraction layer over the fact that not all countries have such a thing.

Reorgs like this happen all the time at Google -- they didn't downsize Cloud, they found two parts of the business doing the same thing and merged them - so some people were redundant there.

They could've just let those employees go, but they are giving them time to find a new role (and paying them the whole time they're not working).

No bud, they had only seconds once MCAS took action during the ethiopian accident. Even if you kill power to the auto trim on the horizontal stabilizer in time, you are still nose down at low altitude and have to manually crank a wheel to undo the situation since you killed the power. You're screwed well before the crash.

CL compiles down to the metal in most cases (ABCL being a notable exception). I've written device drivers in CL, realtime code in CL, and many CL implementations even allow you to write in assembler. I've done that too, in order to take advantage of SIMD hardware. The above would be -- problematic -- on top of the JVM.

There also might be an issue of speed, since CL is compiled to the metal. Modern JIT JVMs probably have mostly eliminated CL's speed advantage, but I'd still be surprised if some things in SBCL (arguably the best-optimized CL) didn't run faster than in Clojure.

Microsoft is pushing Azure hard. Not to disclose specifics but there are cases where deals with Microsoft for unrelated things are reliant on the company adopting/moving parts of their work to Azure, with huge amounts of free credits for the first year as a sweetener. It's not in writing on contracts but it's very much a requirement.

I'm not sure how they can hope to become the number 2 cloud provider when pitted against that. Say what you want about Microsoft but they are in a really good position to take large chunks of the enterprise cloud market, and that's where the money is.
The problem with Linear Algebra specifically, is that it can be viewed from many different perspectives.

The article here focuses on an "operational" perspective, how the numbers get added or multiplied together to turn into other numbers. However, Linear Algebra is also useful in geometry, and other situations.

This "intuitive guide" to linear algebra sets you up very nicely for figuring out how to add and multiply matricies together. But it doesn't give you any intuition about a rotation (aka quaternions) in 3d space, for example. A lot of math books make the mistake of trying to teach all the perspectives at the same time, instead of focusing on just one viewpoint until the student gains mastery.

A Quaternion is "just" a 4x4 matrix that represents rotation in 3-dimension space. Because you only move 3-ways rotationally (yaw, pitch, and roll), you're "underconstrained" with regards to the 4x4 matrix. Etc. etc. A lot of geometry intuition needs to be built here to really understand Quaternion... and none of that geometry is explored in the blogpost.

Which is fine. Focus is good. But when people approach Linear Algebra, its important to know that its "so useful" that there are too many ways of looking at Linear Algebra... too many different, yet equivalent, understandings of the subject.

I don't agree with that. It goes back to

> It's not until you reach a level where everyone around you has a mastery of the fundamentals, that the meta comes into play.

At any given MMR bracket, everyone around you has a similar mastery of the fundamentals so the meta is relevant.

However, put someone with the fundamentals of a 6k+ MMR player into a 3 or even 4k match and they'll demolish everyone else even with a disadvantage relative to the metagame.

In Starcraft, the one that gets hammered on the most for lower-level/newer players is "constantly make workers and spend all your money". The most basic rule of thumb is to not stop making workers until you hit 70 or so.

If you do that in silver league, you're going to stomp 99% of your opponents even if your scouting and strategizing and unit compositions are all awful. You could do nothing but make a single unit type and still win.

Of course, if you do this at least somewhat well you'll rapidly "level up" in the ranking system to the point where you'll need to actually start scouting and reacting.

calc.exe never had RPN support. Some of y'all seem to be remembering a very different calculator than the one built in to Windows. "UWP" Calculator has feature parity with the calc.exe of Vista/7, and has features that calc.exe never had. I wish more of the source control history had been migrated to the git repository, but it's pretty clear from the header comments that one was built out of the codebase of the other (the core of the calculation engine itself goes way back).

Yep, I've heard a lot about it. Usual advice is to make a thorough research on all your hardware and it playing well with Linux and sleep modes -- which I wouldn't mind if I fully invest myself in a beastly Linux workstation by the way.

However, with the advent of the really good AMD CPUs lately, and their attached motherboards and recommended RAM sticks, I am not really sure a proper research on what plays well with Linux and sleeping will be viable for a while. The community has to catch up with the new hardware first and whoever buys a Threadripper 3990x for Linux (together with its recommended high-end motherboard) is basically taking one for the team until proper drivers (or upstream Linux kernel support) is added and stabilised for the sleep modes of the newer AMD hardware.

So even if I had $25k laying around I'd still not spend them on a TR 3990x Linux workstation right now. I'll wait and see how the Linux community deals with potential issues with the motherboard chipsets first.
Isn’t that how layoffs at all large companies go?
>Its not like I'm saying "if screen width is above 750px, render X" (cough css).

CSS "px" units are only raw pixels on 96dpi displays. It's normalized with respect to the dpi. On higher-dpi displays, CSS "px" can refer to multiple pixels. So controlling layout based on the screen's width in "px" is fine; it won't break when someone switches to a super high dpi device.

You should consider doing more research on a topic before trying to present your opinion/viewpoint as fact. You are stating patently false things, which invalidates your credibility.
If you haven't already, it sounds like it would probably be worth your time to open an issue. If things like workspace-scoped references and renaming aren't working for you when they are working for other people, perhaps you have a non-standard setting, or perhaps there is a need to adjust how you open vscode, or perhaps you are hitting bug(s). My experience has been the people working on gopls are very responsive.

Worse, there is a whole family of parameters.

It's worth thinking of an MRI as a programmable machine for doing certain types of physics experiments.

Sometimes you have an area of interest, sometimes you don't. A lot of the practical (i.e. clinical level, not research work) on specific areas of interest is still in coil design, since body coils often don't do well.

There are all sorts of things that make it difficult (e.g. imaging is in frequency domain, localizing things with gradients can be time consuming in ways not entirely directly related to clarity, etc.)

This sort of thing is addressing issues that come up with acceleration techniques that rely on redundancy in the sampled space to "cheat" and not capture everything. The obvious concern with a ML approach here is that it may replace something interesting with something more normal.

I'd hate to be the one tasked with V&V for this, honestly.

Arguably, such images should be mirrored onto Commons ASAP (if they plausibly have educational value and are PD in most of the world). It is unwise to rely on a single profit-oriented company like Flickr to keep hosting this sort of stuff for the foreseeable future, whereas Commons is independently supported and specifically intended as a host for permissively-licensed media content.
> ie. at least 99% of the Windows users

I bet a lot more than 1% of Windows users have touch screens at this point, since they've become more-or-less standard on high-end laptops.

Mind, it still could easily be < 10%, given how many people have old/cheap PCs.

I don't quite know what the solution is though. The last thing Windows 10 needs in addition to its two separate control panels, command lines, and web browsers are two separate calculator apps.

I'm assuming the attic is attached to a heated building of some sort? Not sure why you're trying so hard to come up with arguments for this hydroponic stuff.

People are well aware of the advantages and it's mostly going to be used to grow high-value cash crops like spices (saffron?) and cannabis.

> Yes, but all of that square footage is inside the building, which cost money to construct and operate, in addition to capital costs of constructing the multi-tiered farm and wiring it with LEDs

Operating a modern western farm requires all of that too. Do you think farmland has no capital costs? What about all the farm machinery?

> Yes...anywhere...inside a heated building. Even if the LEDs used provide some degree of heating, some sort of HVAC to regulate temperatures must still be employed. I'd imagine you wouldn't use an unheated warehouse in Canada during winter.

This seems like a rather strange argument. You can grow crops indoors in antartica if it comes to that. Beind able to grow crops anywhere you like rather than having to hunt for ideal land is an incredible benfit. Considering that a lot of the fertile topsoil in the midwest is being lost, this seems like a great way to ensure that food supplies are not jeapordized.

> However, make no mistake - so far these are low calorie greens at a luxury price.

For now, because farms and farm produce is heavily subsidized. If we were to apply similar subisidies to indoor farms + continue to increase the efficiency, we could possily produce at similar costs as well.

Not the Google Cloud but Firebase is by far the nicest experience I ever had with a "hosting" provider. It is a bit expensive but I think this proves that there are many low hanging fruits to gather out there.

It's essentially an API to access a streamlined database, file hosting, access provider and so on. Everything integrated and can talk to each other.

Not long ago I got fed up with endless tools and configuration in the LAMP/MEAN/MERN or whatever the latest trend is to put data somewhere and read it, so I got into native iOS development and I am loving it.

On the client-side, I have only two UI frameworks to deal with(UIKit and SwiftUI). On the backend side, I only deal with Firebase. You can do everything with those.

Honestly, I don't know why not all providers are essentially like Firebase. Surely for some scenarios, a custom solution would be needed but it strikes me as Firebase being the place that provides the structure and you plug your custom software to it.

That's why I am under the impression that at the end the gold rush for the cloud, the result would be something like Firebase.

What I would love though, if an open source self hostable Firebase alternative.
Please lavish some of that on me, oh lords of cloud.

I find that analogy weak because Windows works fine without a calc.exe or Calculator app, but a car doesn't run without an engine. Calculator is more a cup holder. I'm not trying to stop anyone for complaining about their cup holder, that's a great day-to-day productivity tool for a lot of car owners. Just pointing out that fit/finish/polish on a cup holder comes after the things like the engine.

Fwiw, it seems to go far beyond marketing that Calculator is open source, as community contributions have made it into releases and Calculator has seemed to benefit from more (and more diverse) development resources than it had in XP/Vista/7.

Network redundancy, electricity redundancy, bandwidth included? Otherwise, it is a bit of apples to oranges. What about firewalls? I mean you could ignore all that and say you only need raw computing power. On the k8s note, nobody is forcing you to use k8s on the top of Azure.

Now do the calculation for ongoing operations for 5 years, taking into consideration normal hardware failure and maintenance cost. You need to swap out old hardware to get a new CPU, etc. I have tried to use co-loc vs cloud for ~100 nodes and cloud won, by 30%.
I mean this may be partially true for a retail pharmacy setting, but is much different in a clinical one.

Even in an place like Walgreens where customer service is a big part of the job, the idea that it's all a pharmacist does feels simplistic and reductionist and plainly wrong. There's lots of coordination with the patient's doctor and insurance and other pharmacies they might use.
