Hospitals Got Bailouts and Furloughed Thousands While Paying C.E.O.s Millions
If you're in the US, I've had good luck buying Aeron chairs used on craigslist (in the $200-$250 range). I would also say check FaceBook marketplace (I've found some good things there - though not chairs). Finally, as someone else also mentioned, I have the ErgoChair 2 ( https://www.autonomous.ai/office-chairs/ergonomic-chair ). I don't care about color, so I bought the green one which was $20 cheaper.
I've just went through this, after working from home for the last few months, my back is in extreme discomfort.

Trying them out in the store really doesn't help much. You can have a chair that feels very comfortable to sit in, but after a whole day working it starts to cause pain. You can also have a chair that isn't that comfortable, but you end up with no pain at the end of the day.

Now, the chair that I use at work I didn't have any input in -- the company provides the same model to all employees. One key is that it is the various adjustments, so you can get it to work for you. The other key item is that it is designed as an ergonomic chair, and as such I never had much pain sitting in it all day (now compare this to the chairs they have in the large meeting hall, even though they are padded I can't get through a 2 hour presentation without discomfort). So with that conclusion, I decided to just drop a large chunk of money on a well established brand (in my case I settled for one of the Steelcase chairs).

I figured that even though I really can't afford 700 on a chair, if it lasts 10 years that is $70 a year. That, and there is a 30-day return policy.
Perhaps you are a dev, then GitHub/Lab is a good place to search for something specific, if your recruiter knows what the they exactly seek. In my line of work (audit/sec/GRC) most of my contracts start as "6 months of THIS" and they end 2-3 years later after I have worked on their operational model, on the manner their control framework is defined and executed, their deliveries to their external auditor are defined and scripted, and some more process-control-audit related parts are etched in stone (oh and some SOX 404 just because I was in the neighborhood)..

So in my world, having a CV with the necessary keywords (SOX, HIPAA, GDPR, COBIT, NIST SP 800/XX/yy/zz, NIST CSF, etc.) is a life saver because I always have headhunters calling me. I don't see them as spam. I just tell them to ring me 30 days before my contract/extension ends, and they gladly do so, and I stay working like this.

I don't spend more than 10minutes per month, and only to accept/ignore/reply to messages. I use it. I don't let it use me (apart from the fact that they sell my data to anyone who is willing to pay them).
Wishing him good luck and healthy life.

There are three components to Ze that involve what you'd think of as ML. We use a few different "classical" techniques together; our focus is on keeping costs down while providing useful results on day one on even a newly-deployed custom application.

First is the structuring of logs: we have a four stage pipeline for structuring and each stage has greater importance depending on how many ground truth instances there are of a given event type in the dataset (these are unlabeled, of course). These stages include heuristics, reachability clustering, a naive Bayes classifier with global fitness function, and a modified LCS. When the data comes in it is laid down in tables with typed columns directly, without post-processing; later, table merges are considered asynchronously. This lets you start doing anomaly detection really well right away.

Next is anomaly detection. There are lots of dimensions we consider for AD; at the end of the day most of them boil down to some reflection of either “badness" or "rareness". We'd rather catch too many anomalies than miss one. This AD is run on both logs and metrics.

Finally, there's incident detection: here we look primarily at how much independence is there between different streams w.r.t. their anomalies, and when we see an unusually high correlation across channels, we raise an incident. Here, a naive Bayes model is used to set cutoffs, with streams of anomalies considered as point processes. You can provide feedback here for training, but it is optional.

It feels like often when they portray a minority they're trying to cram several sub-groups into the same person (or in this case avatar).

"Let's put in a black, transgender person with green hair and Asperger's and a blind, blue-haired, handicapped asian girl with multiple piercings. We'll stick in a white dude too, since we know the conference will be 90% white, heterosexual males and we don't want them to feel too unwelcome."

I get that they want to make everyone feel welcome, which is great! But when it's too made up it doesn't feel genuine and you'll just discount it as diversity window dressing.

I just finished The Great Courses course The History of London and they spend quite a bit of time talking about theatre in London and it was pretty much banned/heavily controlled for most of London's history. As a result London just didn't have purpose built theatres very early compared to a lot of other cities.
I believe, but have not tried, that you can craft zipped files that are small but when expanding produce multi-gigabyte files. If you can sufficiently target the bad guys, you can probably grind them to a halt by serving only them these files. Some care needs to be taken so you don’t harm the innocent and don’t run afoul of any laws that may apply. Good luck.
The GUI is perfectly fine. I use it all the time and it does everything I need. Sometimes I have to look up how to do something but that's true of any program. What exactly is it missing?
I've had to purchase a new fridge lately, the old one finally is giving up the ghost after far too short of a lifespan. I decided I was fine investing in a good, solid fridge...

Quite frankly, none exist. Every fridge on the market in a regular kitchen size (smaller than industrial) is an entirely plastic piece of crap with a life expectency of 5-10 years.

It wasn't an issue of money, of searching, or willingness to wait. There just wasn't any alternative.
It's not the copyright on the server code that is at issue, but the copyright on the HTML and CSS files (and portions thereof) that get distributed by the server.
Common Lisp already supports fsym, a function with the same name as a non-callable symbol. Hence its called a Lisp-2, in opposite to older and simplier lisps (like Scheme) with only one namespace. Lisp 1.5 started with that. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Lisp#The_function_names...

http://www.nhplace.com/kent/Papers/Technical-Issues.html

The - is significant. Most people hearing lisp-2 would refer to the namespace seperation, not the 1.5 followup version.
You can thank the European Union (EU) for that, as these are images from EU-owned satellites.

While the European Space Agency is not officially part of the EU, the EU provides the vast majority of funding (93.0%).

One may not live as luxurious of a life in Europe, either by pay or after-tax amounts, but you do get a sense of solidarity and even stability (most of the time--although we have our issues). In the US, the sense of the future is gone, which is toxic.

The EU also has a recovery plan, which is very future-orientated: https://ec.europa.eu/info/live-work-travel-eu/health/coronav...

I got an old solid wood chair from the 20s or 30s that was US Airforce surplus for free (I got lucky and had connections, but they can also be picked up dirt cheap at surplus places, don't look at antique shops, they'll overcharge you) and it's nicer to sit in than any fancy expensive $1000 chair I've had at fancy office buildings before. My lower back starts killing me in most chairs, but something about these old chairs really helps it despite having none of the fancy features of modern chairs. It looks awesome too, although it weighs about a ton.
Earliest in this case lines up well with "first permanent".

I'm confused about what the remedy is supposed to be, or what outcome the AGs are seeking. Actually, it sounds like they haven't made up their mind yet either:

> And then the states are going to presumably file a complaint also at some juncture, probably after that. So then we will see what those complaints say, what kind of conduct they allege as being anti-competitive.

Is it normal for suits like this to be touted out in public for so long ahead of an actual complaint being filed? Seems like intimidation to me.
> Interesting to see that the pricing is approximately double that of S3, for what I imagine is not much more than a thin layer on top of it.

There's a lot of necessary complexity in the backing platform. Encrypted package blobs are stored in S3 but there are a bunch of other distributed systems for doing things like package metadata tracking and indexing, upstream repository management, encryption, auditing, access control, package manager front-ends, etc... that are not immediately obvious and add cost. The platform that backs CodeArtifact is far from what I'd call a thin layer on top of S3. There is also a team of humans that operate and expand the platform.

I built a new PC about a month ago, and installed it to dual-boot between Pop OS and Windows - this after almost a decade of OSX.

I had intended to make Pop OS my primary workspace, but it's now been 3 weeks since I've even loaded Linux, and have been working in Windows the entire time. The reasons for this:

1. Pop OS had issues with my graphics card. I even bought a AMD RX5600 rather than a Nvidia card due to the existence of open source drivers. Nah, no such luck. I'd get occasional crashes (which seemed to diminish once I'd updated the bios using the Windows software for the card). But that's not all: the GPU acceleration that Google Maps uses would consistently and quickly freeze the entire machine - not just Chrome, the entire machine, and only a hard reboot would get it back.

1.5 (Probably related to 1) Weird pauses of 30 seconds or more. They'd happen when opening alacritty, and also when opening Chrome. This is on a brand new, reasonably high spec desktop machine.

2. Inconsistent shortcuts drove me mad. Want to copy something from Chrome? Use Ctrl+C. But from the terminal? Then it's Ctrl+Shift+C.

3. I discovered WSL2 in Windows. It works pretty much flawlessly, is awesomely performant and tightly integrated with Windows. You get all the parts of Linux you need to develop, and none of the hassles of Linux.

I bought a Windows license for this new PC thinking I'd occasionally need it to run a game or some other software. Yet it's now my daily working system. Who would have thought?

I suspect you're being rhetorical here, but just in case: your premise is wrong; they don't need to exist, in fact they need to not exist; preferably they need to die in a fire.

I think his point was more about the GUI technology, instead of the GUI layout. The GUI does not behave very well on HiDPI screens with scaling.
Computer mastery of Go has reached the point where it is a difficult task for an expert (read: grandmaster level) human to even follow what is happening. It is totally implausible that a human could resolve a conflict between top engines in a meaningful way.

It is unlikely that Chess is any different. Any superficial understanding by a human of which move is 'better' is just ignorance of the issues around evaluating a position. If you have statistical evidence that is something. 'But I think' is not evidence.

It might be entertaining to have a human involved. It isn't going to help with winning games.

I always say that GraphQL is best thought of as frontend code that lives on a backend server. If in your current world you have front-end code that talks to multiple traditional REST endpoints, the frontend is therefore responsible for managing all the relationships between the API data in order to build a coherent object graph which the UI can interpret. GraphQL turns this object graph into a first class citizen that can be consistently queried, rather than something everyone keeps having to reinvent, and moves it closer to the source of truth (the downstream services) for performance reasons (so that each network hop can be measured in single digit milliseconds rather than tens or hundreds).

I've seen GraphQL schemas being implemented on the client, it's certainly doable, but the performance is terrible compared to doing it on a server close to the source of truth.

If anyone is saying cocobolo is cheap here in the US, they must be making a lot more money than I am, and I can afford a Sawstop and Festool workshop. I've got 7-8 shops where I can buy exotic wood locally, and none of them stock it on a regular basis. Online, about the cheapest I can find it for is $50/board foot, which is way outside of my budget for use in any real quantity.
The purpose I was looking at FreeCAD for, was to publish some reference designs that would be useful both personally, and potentially externally for many years from now.

I tried the 3 current assembly workbenches:

* https://github.com/kbwbe/A2plus

* https://github.com/Zolko-123/FreeCAD_Assembly4

* https://github.com/realthunder/FreeCAD_assembly3

As they're all incompatible with each other, and none of them is the official "blessed" choice that's guaranteed to be part of FreeCAD for the next [decades], I just dropped FreeCAD as not yet being suitable for purpose. :(

Hopefully these separate efforts converge into a single system at some point, which would let FreeCAD compete with the commercial systems. :)

The rest of FreeCAD seems to be good enough (from my PoV), apart from that one critical blocker.

Last year, I went to a hacker event held in an art space - various things owned by the space were labeled "this is art, don't hack it". However, as the event want on, hastily-printed copies of the same signs appeared on more things - a vending machine, someone's laptop, a staircase, someone's sleeping bag on a balcony. It gave me the opportunity to see these things in a new light - in my opinion, there was art there both in simply labeling these things as art, and in the items that had been labeled as art.

So, what is art? Is it restricted to the common categories - a painting, a poem, a sculpture, a cliche 5 minute film played in a loop on a wall of a gallery? Can new categories of art be created? Are there one-off things that are art, while similar things would not be? What's the criteria? Does it have to be technically brilliant, or intentionally created as art? If I see something as art, but the creator made it by accident or for a practical purpose, who is right? What if we can't ask the creator why they made it? "I know it when I see it" might be the only criteria, but that obviously implies that others might see differently.

And finally: does it matter? If the word "art" has indeed lost all meaning, does that change the way we interact with the world, or communicate with each other? How often does the average person communicate about "art" in a general sense, rather than simply what they enjoy, anyway?

It's easy to write an incomprehensible GraphQL server the first time you try it, but it's by no means an innate trait of the technology. Assuming your downsteam APIs are done well, it should be possible to write a GraphQL server which is easy to reason about and has predictable performance (largely on par with what you'd get if you built the endpoints by hand).

I know that many languages have some sort of support for units. It would be nice to have libraries which explicitly say that (0,1) and (-1,1) are different, and support transforming between them. I think that this transformation comes up all the time when working with pixels that are properly aligned and centered.
You sound very bitter that a developers that let others use their code gets to pick his license of choice. Should everything by locked down like Microsoft Windows code or an Apple phone? If what you want is for everything to be completely free from licenses instead, just code your own version and release it as freeware. If you only complain and don't then you are just being hypocritical.

>You're hardly helping the world releasing libraries in terms that nobody but hobbyists (who are going to rip your code out and replace it if they start making a proprietary product, which is not evil) will find acceptable

Now you are just trolling.
>I'm sure you agree with is that there is a massive difference between a military conflict between armed parties, and a conflict between police and anything from unarmed bystanders to criminals

I guess that depends doesn't it. A gunfight between armed gangsters and cops in the middle of an urban area isn't all that different than a small american patrol in an urban area in say Iraq, Libya or Syria getting into a gun fight with a group of insurgents. In both cases there will be innocent bystanders likely caught in the middle. As far as both a logical and moral perspective goes, American soldiers have far less right to be killing people in those countries than a police officer defending against armed criminals in their own jurisdiction.

All these arguments on it being 'right' are based on the assumption that America's armies currently being used to invade other nations is 'right'. If America's armies weren't being used to oppress and and control other nations, I'd maybe agree with you more.
