I took a photography class in college, and the professor had us down-scale our photos to a super low resolution before submitting them. Both to keep file sizes down, and because he was judging us on our composition skills, not the quality of our cameras.
I don't see anyone saying the IA was giving away books for free. I see people saying they made it so people could check out books and they would allow people to do so on an unlimited checkouts basis. So they will lend to many instead of one at a time.
Weirdness is still not cool. The goalposts just shifted.

It just so happens that right now what's cool is a charicature of actual weird people in the past. See girls claiming to be 'quirky' or 10 years ago 'random'. Also see people being self proclaimed 'nerds' because they like to read a lot.

It's basically there as an illusion of depth and mystery.

Actual weird people like that dude who makes low production quality lightsaber fight videos in his garden (can't remember his name) are still considered weird. Though I think the word they use these days is 'cringe'. Alternatively what people will do is put these super weird people on a pedestal in conversation while not actually respecting them or wanting to be directly associated with them.

I'm not saying we've made no progress but it's a lot less than it appears on the surface.

Author here, I was surprised not to find an LRU cache implementation in common libraries (STL, Boost), so I wanted to make my own.

This library is trying to make it easy to experiment with different backends (different maps, lists and so on). The fastest version is based on abseil's node_hash_set, inspired by Java's LinkedHashMap.
>That said, we don't see black-on-black murders of innocent people so much.

Really? The murder rate inside the black community is massively higher than within any other community in America. Also black people murder more white people than vice versa. If you take account of the different community sizes the disparity becomes even more extreme.
If this is coming as news to you I don't know where you've been all your life.
Net Neutrali-What? AT&T's Streaming Service Won't Count Against Its Usage Caps
This is wonderful, and welcomed news! The more that lenovo continues their sincere support of linux - and linux distros - the more likely i will be to purchase more and more of their hardware.
If someone is a high value target, LE needs a warrant to bug their homes and to listen to their conversation, which implies they should have some indication of a wrong doing after which a judge grants them a warrant. With digital communications being non encrypted, it could increasingly be used for just surveillance in the name of national security, and as a way of finding out who is indulging in a crime vs just getting more evidences to prove that someone has committed a crime.

If the same physical system were to work in a digital age, a company could share a special encryption key with LE for the collecting evidence part provided they get a legit warrant for that. Physical security was never perfect, but we aspired it to be as close to perfect as we could. Same applies to digital as well.
It's quite clear that Musk's contributions extend past blowing things up, but I do agree that Shotwell is a significant contributor to the company's success and a steady hand that deserves more mention in articles like this.
Slack (or similar) seems to be filling this void. The tap on the shoulder, “hey, did you notice this?”

Yes, and I have already said that I oppose those decisions. The government should not be playing favorites.

Cletus' behavior doesn't affect everybody; it only affects the few people who are within range of his coal rolling.
I'm not sure electric cars are as deep as motor driven cars and obviously Dyson had the manufacturing of electric motors down to a fine art. I am pretty gutted they couldn't get an economy of scale to make it work, even if they had sold 100 at 250k a pop I think it might have grown and they might have followed the tesla model from luxury down to affordability.
Agreed per-node pricing is not ideal, but it appears to be an industry standard - most k8s tooling charges per node.

Since different clusters have different node profiles (in terms of size, scaling, etc), we offer discounts on per-node pricing when customers have a large number of nodes.

One thing I find fascinating about the USA, from the outside, is the preoccupation with the rituals of democracy (and simultaneous disenfranchisement and gerrymandering). A huge number of public posts that in the UK would be handled as run-of-the-mill employment seem to be voted on in the States. Surely that is the nominated mechanism of mandate and subsequent accountability?

In the UK we have policing by consent which more or less means the police systems works because as a country we want it to, rather than that they have a union and weapons. We've recently experimented with elected police commissionsers which, to many, seemed a very alien concept.

Our police's history is far from squeaky clean (we have our fair share of corruption, institutional racism and so on), but in general, no-one walks around worrying that they will be murdered with impunity. Not perfect but preferable.

I think the question is as much how you get there as much as where you're heading.
I never bought any of those as I assumed they were the same game of Monopoly but with different pieces and renamed properties. I had no idea about different gameplay.
Inheritance is very relevant in those special fields where a regulated compensation scheme exists in parallel to the sale of usage rights (literature and musical scores). The organisations that are responsible for distribution are kind of notorious for being dominated by heirs. Unsurprisingly, because current creators create, whereas heirs focus all their energy on maximising the harvest.

Another implication that occasionally comes up to freak everybody out is that there is some legal basis for creators to have a word in changes to their work, which can be a total PITA for organizations that once commissioned a building from a famous architect who left assertive offspring.
Timing Issues in Real-time systems
How do you even show that systematic racism exists?

-edit to assuage the presumptuous-

Assuming systematic racism does exist in US industry(I'm not from the US or live there) and a solution is provided to lessen it. At what point can you say that it no longer exists?

I don't think there will ever come a time where the demographics of Executives In Industry will match the demographics of a nation. There are a million different factors at play that have nothing to do with race, I think its not a very useful measure. But without that, what else can you go by?
Keybase got acquihired, which is a much better outcome for both founders and investors than that which befalls most startups that never invent a viable revenue model.

That's why I jumped into large format film cameras. DSLRs are nice but when tilting the lens plane relative to the film plane on a 4x5 field camera, the effects on the scene are stunning. It requires a much more intuitive grasp of optics, though.
Looting proves that protest is amorphous, not black and white, and protest will autonomously raise the stakes when the risks associated with mass public social action is considered low, or the frequency between social progress payouts is too high, or the demand for social progress reaches a tipping point.

Generally, certification is useless except for "compliance" and "get support for something".

If you are running a supported combination of hardware and software, the hardware vendor can't officially close your case just because "you are running unsupported software and we are sure your OpenBSD damaged your mouse" or similar BS. However, as long as there is a hardware problem you are able to clearly identify, support is usually not a problem even with non-certified software with most (but not all) vendors. Problems that might be either hardware or software are always a problem, because you are almost always dealing with 2 vendors blaming each other. The certification leads to a slightly lower overhead for convincing the support to take the case and a slightly higher number of solved cases. But nothing dramatic. And also take care that the supported software is usually a specially adapted version of something, e.g. the exact installation of Windows your laptop came with. If you reinstall your companies default Windows image you are out of luck. If you upgrade to another service pack or major version, you are out of luck.

Also "certfied" is necessary for stuff like "our processes for adding numbers are certified ISO12345 and demand supported hard- and software". There is no real benefit besides complying with some obscure checklist some useless PHB came up with. But in some industries, you cannot do business without that, no matter how pointless, expensive, unsafe, insecure or counterproductive it might be.

In sum "certified" means "the bureaucracy won't be able to complain", not "it works".
Is it just me, or does the link lead to a different article, "Imaginary Problems Are the Root of Bad Software" sometimes? I tried opening the link and it sometimes goes to the one titled like this post, sometimes to the other one - for the same URL.

This seems like a very ironic problem when considering the content of the "alternate" article being presented... Example of an excerpt:
"The problem is that you thought you requested a core product with a couple of extra features, if they were easy enough to implement. Meanwhile, the dev team heard something else. They heard about some exciting challenges they could tackle… and a slew of boring, basic features they couldn’t be bothered to test properly or care about."

Just to clear up any confusion: Polaris is 100% free and open source, under the Apache 2.0 License

Some of the questions below pertain to a commercial product, Fairwinds Insights, which includes Polaris as a plug-in (as well as Goldilocks, kube-bench, kube-hunter, and others). While Insights is a separate (paid) product, it can help folks track the lifecycle of their Polaris findings, collate results across clusters, set up Slack/Datadog alerts, etc.

Sorry if that wasn't clear from the article - happy to answer questions about either!
why didn't they copy the Tesla strategy and start with a high-end electric sports car?
I think we're learning the value of being self sufficient and the downsides of globalizing everything all the time. When the next [cold, hot, trade] war starts, it will pay to have the expertise to run your own infrastructure.

I think it’s absolutely amazing how much we put into looks and first impressions. My story is the opposite of yours, being a fit white Scandinavian cisgendered male who looks the part of an IT/banking manager when I’m clean cut. The amount of privilege afforded to me based purely on my looks and what I’m wearing is just insane, and I’m ashamed to admit that I’ve often used it to my advantage.

These days I look like a hippie, sporting a full corona beard, coloured or happy message t-shirts, stretchy jeans and sandals. And it’s a whole different story, people offer me no leeway. Ironically my career and I guess wealth/status has progressed exactly opposite to my looks. So people should really stop judging anyone at face value.

Please read the 22nd amendment. As a matter of fact everyone that reads this please read the documents that our country is founded on. Here is an excerpt of an article from the Atlantic that explains what would happen in this case.

"If Trump were inclined to overstay his term, the levers of power work in favor of removal. Because the president immediately and automatically loses his constitutional authority upon expiration of his term or after removal through impeachment, he would lack the power to direct the U.S. Secret Service or other federal agents to protect him. He would likewise lose his power, as the commander in chief of the armed forces, to order a military response to defend him. In fact, the newly minted president would possess those presidential powers. If necessary, the successor could direct federal agents to forcibly remove Trump from the White House. Now a private citizen, Trump would no longer be immune from criminal prosecution, and could be arrested and charged with trespassing in the White House. While even former presidents enjoy Secret Service protection, agents presumably would not follow an illegal order to protect one from removal from office."

It's very trainable.. huge amounts of art classes deal with composition.

Anything you work on in drawing & painting carries over to photography near 100% as well.

And there are plenty of famous photographers who have been great musicians as well who would argue that music & photographic composition are somehow related as well.
News sources have always been biased, though I agree it's gotten much worse under such a polarizing president. Net neutrality is an entirely different concept about internet service providers giving equal speeds to all websites, though, nothing to do with this.
They've been working their asses off to make it work (immense kudos to all of our health care workers!) but we haven't once exceeded our capacity for intensive care patients, which is one of the critical aspects in flattening the curve.

Non-emergency procedures and so on have all been postponed, obviously, but everyone who actually had to go to the hospital were able to do so. So our strategy worked great as far as flattening the curve/keeping the hospitals afloat.

This is me being an armchair expert, but I think the one major thing that they should have done differently is stop visitation in hospitals and elderly care. It took a little bit too long before they did that which allowed the virus to hit the elderly care. Some specific elderly care homes have had a crazy high mortality rate for example.

Keeping the schools and daycare open was also part of the plan to not overtax the hospitals, since a non-trivial amount of nurses would've had to stay home to take care of their kids if they couldn't go to daycare/school.
> the hypothesis-test-apply loop of knowledge acquisition

Public policy, affecting the lives of everybody, is not the same as engineering with inanimate objects.

> It's like any intervention: if the patient will almost certainly die if you do nothing

A country of 300 million people, or a planet of 8 billion people, is not one "patient" to which one thing will or will not happen. Treating public policy as though it were just a matter of deciding "what is best for the patient" is foolish. There is no one "best" thing for everybody.

I was also curious, and from their Design repository:

> Note: You don't need to use this particilar board to run ClojureScript.

> Any ESP32 WROVER with 8 MiB SPIRAM is capable of running a ClojureScript REPL

https://github.com/mfikes/esprit-board/#esprit-board

I also looked at the schematics, which is your standard ESP devboard layout.

Edit: I'm not an expert, but have used tons of ESP based dev boards so there are a couple very frequent issues I've observed. Usually I have had trouble if the USB-UART chip is not wired correctly or doesn't reset quick enough. Lower baud rate makes it work. Also, the GPIO numbers on silk screen may not be correct, so double check those.
> I think the idea of $random_component_vendor maintaining an up-to-date Linux driver themselves may be unrealistic

I agree. I wonder what the Windows model is, and is there a way to emulate that in Linux?
Or they've emigrated in search of those higher salaries already.

I used to work in a relatively "low salary programming culture" and it wasn't just the salary that sucked in that location, the programmers did too. Smart people either emigrated or ventured into a profession that made $$$ (typically real estate, management or finance). Eventually I left too.
If I was still in college I'd be trying to trick out an Arch build and post screenshots of my hyper-cool DE. But now I'm a fatass network engineer and I don't have the desire to spend an iota of energy doing config work outside of actual paid work. Ubuntu and Fedora just work, and only require a heafty apt/yum one-liner to make everything work. Arch is awesome -- the Arch Wiki is useful even for non-Arch users -- but ain't no body got time for that.

> We know a lot about the costs of C02 emissions.

No, we don't. We have a lot of ideological beliefs, hypotheses, and speculations about the costs of CO2 emissions, with no predictive track record to back them up. So we don't have the kind of knowledge that we would need to have to justify dictating public policy to everyone in this area.
Step 1 is disarm the police..

UK police aren't armed, which means that they are well trained in de-escalation because it's the main thing that's protecting them.

One of the biggest worries of introducing tasers is that it diminishes that aspect. Why try to calm someone down if you can reach for your taser instead.

In the US they reach for a handgun instead.

Disarm the police. That might require disarming the population too.

So step 1 is ban the guns.

Which tragically means the USA will likely stay at step 0 for a very long time, because it seems the second amendment is held to a higher regard than the first.
The retrieval fee used to work differently, leading to multi-thousand dollar bill surprises. A lot of the negative reaction stems from old data.

AWS’s hilariously bad egress pricing is of course still nuts.
The workflow to download photos is exactly the same on my Sony A6000 on iOS. You have the ability to send individual photos, or a group (like all the photos from a particular day). Moving them on the phone is nice because you can then open them up in something like Lightroom mobile, along with being able to see everything on a nice high resolution screen.
And ive got three thinkpads that all run arch and dont have any of the issues you have mentioned.

My macs have far more problems.

I agree the evidence is weak. That's very different from no evidence (your walking in circles example).

Vitamin D pills cost $12 per bottle where I live. I would guess the economic damage from COVID19 is going conservatively going to be $10,000-$20,000 for a typical family. We can do the math.

If vitamin D has a 3% chance of reducing the economic impact by 3%, even health implications aside, we're best off with everyone taking it.

The evidence isn't strong enough to support even 50% odds of it working, but it's definitely strong enough to support greater than 3% odds.

Similar economics apply for in-hospital use, only even more so.

And yes, I'm aware of all the other correlations. Exercise, sunlight, time outdoors, wealth, and vitamin D all correlate pretty well. We need a robust set of RCTs.
I had fun building this. Wanted to make it feel very quick despite the large data set. Also wanted it to be very low maintenance with little to no running costs ($0 currently). It’s a static Jamstack site, using vanilla JS, hosted on Netlify with Cloudflare. A scheduled GitLab CI job regularly polls Spotify’s API and updates the site, using JSON files on Google Drive as a database.
Quick aside : I have been a buyer of their T 4xx series-- from 440 to 480. I am curious as to what will come after T495.
I don't know what you meant by "penultimate", perhaps indisputable? But if you don't know of such a resource, how are you so convinced they're wrong? Margarine (with its trans fats) was declared healthy and safe for a long time, until it wasn't.
> 3. Most "good" programmers move to the high-income countries

> Again, fairly hard to find data on this

I'm surprised it's hard to find data, but yes, this consistently matches my observation over the past 30 years and four different geographic locations: very few American programmers are American at all. When I did my master's in CS 15 years ago, I was almost always the only person in the room born in the United States, and besides the (either Indian or Chinese-born) professor, the only US citizen as well.
Nopez, he's doing it all by himself.
Really admirable.
Probably. "Certified" does not mean "ships with".

Dell offers that option -- "ships with" Ubuntu -- but only for a handful of laptops.
They only moved it for federal district court nominations. Because every single nomination was prevented by the GOP from going through. Ultimately we all know that if any Democratic senators tried to keep GOP's nominees from the federal bench (including fascist bloggers and people who have never tried a case), the GOP would have done the same.

I applaud the effort and I think we need to go further and get rid of the fillibuster rules entirely.
