You can always fork an action-repository to your own account, and failing that pin to a specific version.

Github actions I find pretty awesome, allowing your configuration file to just be glue between well-written, well-maintained actions for doing "stuff".

I've written a couple of my own, and since they're docker based they're very simple to get running, and very easily composable.

For example this one is trivial, but it lets you run project-specific test-cases on PR/push/whatever:

https://github.com/skx/github-action-tester

Just add `.github/run-tests.sh` to your repository and enable the action, suddenly your test-cases run. And since the test-cases are in your repository you can do anything you like, including run them locally!

I just bought one of these about a month ago,

I read about how the company had just discontinued the old version of the product in the reviews on Google play of their app figured I'd have some decent time with it since they just rolled out the version I bought...

Jokes on me!

Any chance there's some way we could get the data out of them with something open source?
You can get USB RTL cores off the shelf, they're basically a commodity.

And they've been shipping PCI-e on their chip for T2. I'm pretty sure the iPad displays are Embedded Display Port, but don't have a source for that.
The obvious problem is this is the most expensive of all solutions. You still need an office space for everyone (you can't really get a smaller office and stagger days that people go in, because the whole point is camaraderie and collaboration. Maybe you could do this across organizations? Sales mon/wed, product and engineering tues/thurs).

Plus everyone needs to still live within commuting distance to the office, and also have a productive work space at home, which is a huge luxury in a place like SF to have an extra room for an office.
That's understood. That's obviously a huge problem, but isn't it worth pointing out one of the bigger issues of the bill? There are many, many people who agree with this bill who may not have thought about this specific issue. It's worth pointing out how the ends that supposedly justify the means, can have major, major faults.

The weakening of structures that allow political journalists to expose corruption is not a small issue and should be discussed on its own.

In other words, I'm asking: "Why does this topic not deserve its own conversation?"
It wouldn't be just an equality check on the bits anyway, rather some kind of theoretical function over the bits. For example, is this JPG image a copyrighted image? Perhaps my function would be:

- take the source image, reduce it to a 10px by 10px grid
- take the image in question, reduce it to a 10px by 10px grid
- for each pixel, calculate the deviation between the source pixel and the candidate pixel
- if the sum of the squares of the deviation is smaller than some threshold, output true.

The point is that no matter how clever a function you make, it cannot capture the notion of where the bits came from and can only capture information about what the bits are. Computers care about the latter. All these clever schemes care about the latter. Copyright law cares about the former.

From a copyright law perspective, the notion that you might have two files on your computer whose bits are completely identical in every way, but only one of which you are legally permitted to copy, is perfectly reasonable.
Cash for clunkers happened during the 08 recession.
The ads are really useful. (So are the Quick Studies, Back Matter, and articles in general. It's a great magazine.)

I grew up with Physics Today, too, and the ads really shaped my knowledge of available instrumentation before I even knew what that was.

I used to marvel that people would pay megabucks for what appeared to be a white box with three electrical connections, a power plug, and a power-on light. Now, when I read those, I'm like, "Your lock-in amplifier can do what?! Expletive. How do I send you my money?"
The satellites are likely much cheaper than the ongoing costs for content.

It looks like they are spending over $2B annually on content fees. They could launch a lot of satellites with $2B per year.
It also makes sure your whole website is cached at build time instead of needing a first request to generate the cache
It's intentionally userspace to avoid ossification.
Sorry to hear that, maybe make it open-source?
There's two basic ways of defining iterators in C to remove some pain points. (There's others, but these two common patterns crop up often enough.)

void foreach(TYPE* o, void(*f)(TYPE, void*), void* f_state)

Which you would use like:

static void sum_bytes(wchar_t c, void* state) {
*((size_t*) state) += c;
}

size_t sum = 0;
foreach(jstr, sum_bytes, (void*)&sum);

An iterator that runs some function repeatedly against each element of the object, with the ability to pass in some kind of state. Tiny bit more advanced than the more common:

size_t first(TYPE* o) { return 0; }
size_t end(TYPE* o, size_t position) { return position >= len(o); }
size_t next(TYPE* o, size_t position) { return position + 1; }

Which you would use like:

for(size_t i = first(o); !end(o, i); i = next(o, i)) {
}

Hiding your indexing ideas inside abstractions that you can write once, and use continually, removes some cognitive load, and means that when you find your pesky off-by-one error, it's only in one place, not a half-dozen nearly-matching-but-not-quite patterns.

At Offchain Labs, we’re building a platform to unlock the full potential of smart contracts, making them private, affordable, and easy for developers. Our working prototype of Arbitrum runs on top of Ethereum and interoperates with native Ethereum contracts and tokens.
We make smart contracts easier to develop at scale, with production level security. Our developer tools do the heavy lifting to add a flexible second layer to decentralized application architecture so our clients can focus on business logic and user experience.

We're looking for Senior Software Engineers that are excited to learn and develop blockchain technology and possess production experience with Backend Engineering (C/C++, Go, or Rust). Experience with compiler construction and architecture, and security engineering on large-scale systems is a plus.

Man I felt bad for feeling this while reading the article. I've no doubt that Bill Dally is an awesome guy, especially given Nvidias recent excellent performance. But this project seems almost embarrassing. Why tout something on your corporate blog that's just a personal project of an employee he built in a couple of weekends. It looks simple enough for the final year project of a highschool student. I hate to be so negative, but I just don't see why nivida would associate with it.
The dollhouse view is a nice way to zoom out without occluding what you want to see. Very impressed how smooth and detailed the tour is. So much better than streetview based tours
I think the other way around. Dgraph was thought to be distributed. It cannot be "atomically" distributed based on entities. But in smaller parts of an entity. If each instance of Dgraph takes care of a small part of that entity, it becomes virtually more performatic.

Imagine, in an abstract way, that it is a hashing process. Where the attributes are spread over several instances in the cluster and Dgraph just "decodes" it for you quickly because it already has the key.

Could it be based on entities? yes, but I don't think it would bring any benefit. Imagine that you have 10 instances, and you have 10 entities. You have 3 entities with many edges (values and outgoing edges) and 8 "light" entities, without much information. Well, you will leave 3 entities in high usesage of resources while 8 entities are idle because they do not have much information to deliver to all query and mutation requests in the Cluster.

A system based on attributes in a distributed way is much more performance tho.

What type of brake is this? I've never heard of such performant and maintenanceless brakes. Drum brakes like Shimano Rollerbrake can go for thousands of kilometers with very little maintenance (although you're supposed to grease them), but they wouldn't lock up with a single finger. Disc brakes and v-brakes require to change pads every few hundred kilometers. How many kilometers do you ride every year?

KBRA | Multiple Positions | Greater Philadelphia Area, PA | Full time | www.kbra.com

KBRA is a global full-service rating agency on a mission to set a standard of excellence and integrity. Established in 2010 as a challenger brand, KBRA remains dedicated to the restoration of trust in credit ratings. KBRA has over 350 employees located across the United States (in New York, Pennsylvania and Maryland) and in Dublin, Ireland and London, England.

Our challenge is to provide applications as KBRA continues to grow and expand its client base in the financial services industry. Each department has a number of different needs, but there is also some overlap, so we have to make constant decisions to avoid code duplication, such as creating microservices or authoring libraries.

Our development team believes that code is craft, writing software is a creative endeavor, and that the work we do is part of what makes our organization successful. We believe that small, empowered teams can do amazing things. We also believe in always picking the right tool for the job instead of using something "because that's what we've always done."

We are hiring for the following positions:

- Database Administrator - https://grnh.se/9b1f4b562us
- Platform Engineer - https://grnh.se/a7ee86732us
I agree there's certainly enough blame to go around for this ongoing disaster. I've personally been indifferent about Trump up until 2020 - he's responsible for feet dragging throughout February and the continued lack of national leadership. Even as a libertarian I can respect that half-competent authority would be useful if only to reassure people to keep them from attacking each other.

Being anti-authoritarian, I certainly was not making my point as a justification. But our society is based heavily on authoritarian structures, and viewed objectively by its function, it has failed by electing not just a self-interested looter but rather someone who is actively self-destructive. If the political outsider had been kept out, the position would have been filled by someone who worked with the system to accomplish goals, and with a nonpartisan health crisis this would have been objectively beneficial.

"keeping cycling going" is much less important than spending that money to deal with job loss and unemployment. This is using a crisis to divert money to a person's pet agendas.

you just exhibited the fallacy of equating a restaurant to a beach (or being outside). You are also using "exposure" in the most generic sense of "presence" within a distance. That's really not how it works.

Like I said there is absolutely no evidence that you could get infected while in an open environment, moreover plenty of evidence that being outside is greatly beneficial to health and well being.

Now I am asking you the same question you asked me: "why would a bureaucrat want to go out of their way to close a beach if there wasn't a good reason?"

The answer is simple as unpleasant, they don't understand what they are doing.
I agree that $50 shouldn't be trivialized. That being said, in America that's well below the standard for a month of groceries for one person (unless they're eating all of their meals out or something like that). Here[0] are the USDA food plans with budgets for "food at home". The cheapest category is "thrifty", and even there they budget about $100 per month for a one year old through about $190 for an adult male (those numbers increase by about 20% if it's a one person household rather than a contribution to a family budget).

I don't know how those numbers might compare in France, and there are obviously cheaper parts of the world, but the person trivializing $50 might well be in America where that's closer to a week's grocery than a month's for one person.

Back in the 90's, early 2000's, I did not think highly of Microsoft or Bill Gates. I didn't like their business practices or what they were wanting to do to free software (and Linux in particular). Gates would always make sure to mention how much MS were "innovating" with Windows and Office and it grated with me.

It's a very different MS now and one I welcome, even though I prefer free software and Linux still. Gates has also put his money and organisational skills to good use and I'm impressed by what he's doing to help fight this pandemic. Reasonable voices backed up with money is a positive just now.

Every time I see a pipe, bucket, goblet or round thing in a game with otherwise very realistic rendering, I'm reminded I'm just playing a rendered game, due to seeing polygonal shapes rather than a true round bucket/goblet/pipe, and wonder if a quadratic surface would not look better and be more efficient.

Well, that and banding in the gradient of a sky. Those two things break the otherwise so realistic rendering quite commonly.
Going further, in 2017 all accidents combined were 6% of deaths in the US (https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/deaths.htm). Nearly half (1,246,565) of the 2,813,503 deaths in the US in 2017 were from heart disease and cancer. Deaths from heart disease per day are almost as bad as covid-19 right now, so since there is a lot one can do proactively to reduce the chances of heart disease, I'm taking it way more seriously than I did before: don't smoke, hour+ of exercise every day, heart-healthy diet, sleep enough, and less stress.

That’s cool! But it’s clear he did not find the right font. What puzzles me when I look at the map screen from the movie is that there are two point sizes being used. “San Francisco” and “Palo Alto” use crisp lettering with 5 pixel tall lowercase characters, while the rest of the labels are slightly larger with more clumsy and distorted shapes. Maybe they scaled them up a little with simple nearest neighbor scaling?
This doesn't make sense. You're now saying that the government is going to be in charge of inspecting every citizen's property and auctioning it for them?

I think the problem lies with who owns the process. If engineers own the process, then things can work. If non-engineers own the process, then you get the assembly-line mentality. Whether one calls it "Agile" is really irrelevant.
