This is a fundamental issue with all large scale DAE (differential-algebraic-equation) [1] systems, regardless of modeling environment. DAEs are different from ODEs in that it's really difficult to design a solver that will reliably solve every single DAE out there -- numerically so many things can go wrong, so it is up to the modeler to write models in such a way as to promote algorithm convergence.

For instance, even finding a set of consistent initial condition requires the solution of a typically nonconvex nonlinear system of equations, which in turn requires a good initial guess (where domain knowledge is needed -- arbitrary guesses may work but often don't). This is a "solved" problem in a sense that algorithms exist that do this, but anyone who's done numerical work know how hard it is to reliably find the solution of an arbitrary nonlinear system of equations -- there's a significant element of luck involved, even with heuristics.

Formulating good models is an art. Good modelers know to avoid issues with numerical scaling (by changing units of measure, doing log or linear scaling, or simply avoiding computation of certain intermediate quantities) and avoidance of singularities (e.g. instead of x/y = z, a better and equivalent formulation is x = y * z because if y is ever 0 during iteration, one avoids div-by-0 errors). It gets even tougher with hybrid models that have discontinuities (switching behavior), because the integrator needs to do a reinitialization every time a switch is encountered. Most solvers do this well (the integrated system up to that point is usually a good initial guess for the NLE system), but not 100% of the time.

When I was doing this stuff full-time, I've often thought of writing a linter that detected poor formulations and suggested improved ones -- sort of like a spell-checker for mathematical models. I never pursued it.

These days I guess this can be done using a language server that can parse equations and generate ASTs. I'm no longer interested in these problems, but I do wonder if anyone has tried to do something like this.

[1] DAEs take the following (implicit) form:

f(ẋ, x, z, θ) = 0, x(0) = x₀

g(x, z, θ) = 0

where x = differential vars, z = algebraic vars, θ = constants. The form is very general and can be used to model any number of continuous dynamic systems. Hybrid systems can be modeled by introducing discrete variables into the mix.
Excellent example of where JavaScript really is useful!
Feinstein is easily the worst Democratic Senator. It's absolutely bonkers to me that a state where tech is as important as it is keeps re-electing her. Surely there's someone out there who wants to primary her?
This is true. Apple, in particular, is aware of this; iOS has specific visual indicators designed in to make it look like the machine is doing work even when it's just loading state. It was one of the distinguishing factors between the iPhone and Android user experiences early on.
Anyone have a template for opposing this bill?

Needs elaboration, but I see two major points:

1. It puts our national security at risk. It opens up American cyber-security at large to nation states like China, Russia, and Iran, as well as more sophisticated terrorist groups.

2. It hampers innovation and competition in the tech industry. Compliance will increase costs, especially for startups, especially in a Covid19 environment, and the global market will not be able trust the cyber-security of American networks.
They already have some of the worst resale values in the business. Driven by a huge number of price cuts they've done to their current models. Why buy a used Tesla when prices have dropped on new Teslas?
While it's true that there is tremendous data of many events of police overreach--corroborated by many sources--certainly not all events in this data set are corroborated. How many? We can't know without enriched data.

Given that this is a resource for events of police brutality, it should be no surprise that contributors are likely to be biased to report events favorable to the assertion of brutality. The general premise asked, "what wrong thing was done to you/your people?" which is likely to result in emotionally biased response. If it was a dataset of reports of interactions between two different ant colonies, for example, the general bias is likely to be significantly lower.

If the goal is to understand the relationship between a population and their police, then obtaining data from both sides would be ideal. Of course, that's not what this data set is, which is why some people are raising concern of bias. As a data set, it's use is limited to support one aggrieved side. This is not much different from training ML models on, say, only Caucasian faces: it may work if the intent is to recognize or generate Caucasian faces, but it is by no means general purpose. As such, it seems reasonable to question the fitness and intent of this data set.

No data set is perfect, and we'll never have "all the facts." But I don't think upholding inherently-prone-to-bias data as "good enough" is a reasonable response to questions about its bias. We cannot achieve perfection, but that doesn't justify denial of bias in the data.

On the matter of "sea-lioning", I've never heard the term before, and I'm not sure if I've ever been exposed to this type of trolling because to recognize it would require me to be able to read minds. However, I understand the forum guidelines charge us to assume the best interpretation of any comment, so I am disinclined to assume that people here asking for more data are trolling. The essence of claiming "sea-lioning" appears, at least at face value, to be an alternative to saying "I don't have to explain myself to you" while maintaining the illusion of taking the high road.

People have brought up the very reasonable concern that the data is extremely prone to bias, and those people are being silenced. It seems this is because it's not a popular idea to challenge the aggrieved party, not because the data is somehow unbiased and they're asking for something unreasonable. This seems unusual for an otherwise truth-seeking community.

Perhaps I am wrong, and I recognize everyone has their own bias and not everyone always acts in good faith. I have just come to expect more from this community than what I've seen in these comments. It seems good faith is not assumed in many cases among these many conversations.
India has that covered too. Muslim caste structure is a thing, though not as apparent.

I can’t think of a religion that doesn’t have this structure in India. Maybe Parsee?
A friend of mine said NTLM should be possible on Linux. Maybe check out https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/security/authen...

I've never tried to use kebreros with containers though, so ymmv
Most newer/younger people don't like or know Make; it's old, arcane software.

It differentiates between TABs and Spaces because each one signifies a different thing to follow: Lines starting with TAB indicate that a _recipe_ follows (which is shell syntax), and lines NOT starting with TAB indicate that a _rule_ follows (ie., native Makefile grammar/syntax).

Hate it or not, it's been a reliable workhorse for decades.
Unless I'm mistaken, you should be able to get working Windows Authentcation if you have Kerberos libs installed, a valid krb5.conf and a keytab or service account credentials.

It was suprisingly easy to get working.

What Windows containers offers are Group Managed Service Accounts which reduces the administrative overhead managing service accounts for Linux containers and makes them completely transparent to the container.
Analogies to physical security are not helpful, because they're easily countered with "but you support someone getting into a house with a warrant, right?". Encryption is nothing like physical security. There is no analogue to busting down a door. Correctly built encryption has no way to get in without the key; anything else has fundamental, unfixable security flaws.
I just used a website that had a simple form at the bottom of the cart. It had one text input for the postal code, and a button to get the rates to that postal code based on what was in my cart. IMHO, this is how it's done right, since all you need to know is general location and weight.

In the early days, there was no such thing as an editor. Punch cards were used for every separate line of code. And along came editors. I had no familiarity with mainframe editors, but DEC systems had EDT/TPU (and another macro scripting thing I forget the name of). Enter 1980s with UNIX. This gave us ed/ex/vi/emacs. I entered the workforce in 1985, and had to edit files on a 1MB memory 68010 system. Emacs was such a memory hog that it would not run on said UNIX system. Fast-forward 15ish years: I have watched seasoned developers spend 2x-3x the time to perform simple editing actions in emacs than it takes to do in vi. Personally, I now have muscle memory for vi/vim, but if I need to edit a binary file, emacs or a hexeditor is the only way to go. IDEs add another level of context & capabilities to editors, as they typically understand the syntax of the language in question and often offer hints.

Summary:

I'm a former NASA flight software engineer who was just awarded a Robert H. Goddard Award for Exceptional Achievement in Engineering. I worked on a variety of projects in my 7.5 years at NASA, including updating some of the Curiosity rover's telemetry processing software for the ExoMars rover, and writing embedded C that will run onboard the PACE satellite.

If you're maximally interested in doing the job, you would ask questions to learn details that will accelerate your onboarding into your productive role and culture of the firm.

Also, if you are unaware of the norm that asking questions indicates interest, you are likely to have social/cultural deficits relative to an ideal employee; the likelihood of you being unaware of other workplace norms is increased.
Yeah I think this is awesome.

I've thought about what a cool wheelchair would be like since the 'regular' stuff that exists seems disappointing. I wonder if e-bikes and more accessible battery packs are what make this possible now.

I think there's a lot of opportunity in this space for making something that you'd actually want to use if you were disabled.

A lot of the stuff that exists in the current market seems overpriced (though I'd guess there are regulatory reasons for this and it's not a simple fix).

I'm glad they made this, hopefully more people will hack on things like this too.

make -p gets you mostly there.
Given that engagement metrics have been heavily interfered with for many years, as a result of bots and other activities, and yet PMs still rely on them it seems unlikely that they will be pulled away from that spectacle anytime soon. I like your idea though.
Apparently caring about people more than money is a bad thing.
I mean, market cap is probably better than most as a metric for valuing companies. If it wasn't, you could make a killing in the stock market by finding companies that are off-base of their value.
As a kid, I always thought this was all mysterious. Demystifying it is always fun.
I'm similar. I have my own Eisenhoweresque productivity system for triage and prioritization implemented across ~10 perspectives, etc. I've been trying to adapt myself back to mainstream reality that Todoist or TickTick could handle for portability's sake but so far haven't succeeded. I like my own system, predictably enough.

The UI is beyond idiosyncratic, but the only web package I've found with enough power to replicate all my OmniFocus perspectives is The Amazing Marvin.

It is incredibly configurable across any number of productivity systems, and the query language for saved searches (aka perspectives) is straight up RPN with a metric crapload of task matchers and unlimited stack depth. Tag groups can be active parts of the UI that turn into task entry dropdowns, so you can make your OmniFocus tag system into actual user interface with exclusive tags. You can't be both UI and NI for example, so you can create an Urgent/Important exclusive group and make it a dropdown. It's stunningly effective in these ways and gives you so much more flexibility than Omni.

The only problem is literally every part of the app has different key mappings and UI affordances. It looks like it was cobbled together homegrown feature by feature and the design unfortunately really does show it.

It's worth a shot, but it does make OmniFocus look downright polished UI-wise. But man, the power of that system for configuration...super impressive.
"goodwill"

I'm certain that the CEO knows just how fickle the patent is and wants to maintain as much control, gain as much money, favors etc while reducing risks, liability, losses etc.

Yes! This is also something that is common with smaller online retailers. Don't expect this with B&H, Adorama, or Newegg. Frequently these small companies give one time codes you won't see or be able to gain elsewhere.
I use a shell script named "onsave" that wraps the following incantation:

inotifywait --event modify --recursive . --quiet

If anyone wants the full script I can post it here. One thing many of these tools miss is that I typically want the build command run once at the start.
That's not the question though. Even if you believe EVs are the future, you still have to convince people that Toyota can't make them.
> The Cold War was ended in negotiations with the Soviet Union that stipulated that no NATO expansion towards Russia would happen

There was no such negotiations with binding promises made public aside from interwebs rumors, frequently reposted on RT/Sputnik/etc. The end of Cold War was USSR unilaterally dissolving by agreement between Russia, Belarus and Ukraine.

Furthermore, Yeltsin publicly said that eastern europe can join NATO if they wish. The only request was that there would be no nuclear weapon moved to new NATO members. And there were talks about limiting conventional weapons. That's why current NATO forces in Baltic states and Poland are "rotational" rather than permanent.

> In the 90s the Russian were sticking mad as hell about this stuff, they just didn't have the power to do anything about it. In the last 15 years the have learn that they can, so they do.

As an ex-USSR citizen, Russia was damn friendly in early 90s. Russian SSR (separate from USSR) supported Baltic states during January events of 1991. Russian army was rather swiftly removed. Separation was rather smooth thanks to mutual understanding. Things started to change in late 90s though. Not sure where the braking point was.
This is not true. The basic law explicitly excludes this, because there is a provision for national security in article 23. Annex iii can contain national laws that are not covered by the basic law (e.g. foreign policy).
Is abandoning a cart really rude behavior? I sometimes do it just to see if they'll spam me as a test of if I want to do business with a site.
> Vote Blue no matter who, remember?

I mean, yes. Feinstein is better than the alternative in the General. The Primaries are the way to get rid of her, I can't believe no one has booted her out yet.
The explanation is the obvious one. The UK has a treaty with China intended to prevent what is happening from happening. China is in breach of the treaty and, in light of that, the UK is acting to protect people to whom it believes it has an obligation. It has nothing to do with either racism or nationalism.
Some random blogger would probably sell for less.

Also, you said it, but the whole revolving around the wealthy thing is kind of ridiculous given they can totally fend for themselves.
I edited the above, but if you ever find yourself in Denver, check out Hogshead. Really great brewery focusing on cask beers. Haven't had a bad beer there.
ZIP code box that doesn't oblige you to provide any more accurate data, and also without it, it should still be possible to display brackets. "Shipping: $6 - $24, [enter ZIP code for detailed quote]".
While the number of breweries has increased, but public consuming them hasn't really changed that much. Granted your casual beer drinker will go for a craft or micro offering now rather than your Bud or Miller Lite like they may have a decade or two ago, but that doesn't mean their tastes have really changed significantly. At the end of the day, most people can't tell the difference and most places don't care enough to properly care for the beer itself or the equipment. One of my biggest pet peeves are places that don't actually clean their lines often enough. It's something I can clearly taste and takes all of the enjoyment out of what should be a good beer.

In regards to number of beers on tap, not every beer is going to by in your standard size keg which points to some of your concerns. Chances are a number of the craft beers are in smaller kegs so they stay fresh, but more importantly take up less space. Refrigeration is key at establishments like that and ideally the kegs would be in their own fridge rather than just in the walk-in like many restaurants do it. Worst is the kegerators at the bar where the untapped gets are at room temperature. Not only is that not good for the beer, it's also horrible if you're one of the first pours from that keg.

Facebook is scum. But on the flip side these so called journalists are a sham.
I know naming products is tough, but aws, are you try to confuse? "App2Container" is so ambiguous that it's guaranteed to be misunderstood. Was that a strategy to get more clicks or just reflective of the difficulty in succinct branding strategies?

Was India next to a financial hub like Hong Kong and a electronics and manufacturing hub like Taiwan that rapidly industrialised in the 60s and 70s? India is also further positioned from the Pacific and the sea routes to the US market, but that's a secondary reason, not the primary one.

Just because they both have large populations don't make them alike.
> I have never seen cases where you really save money

Of course you can't save money. The guy proposing the outsourcing is either getting kickbacks or will get a massive bonus from 'cost reduction'.

I like to kick the wind out of their sails by loving their proposal and reminding them that payroll changes don't count towards bonuses and they'll have to be up early to manage their new team. Suddenly, it's a bad idea.
Yes, and that's great for China. But for a country to benefit the EU by becoming a member, it would have to be above EU average and be a net-contributor. Turkey isn't anywhere close, so it would be another money sink for the EU.

I trust the Mozilla foundation has good reason to oppose this, as likely do I, but I'm sad to not see a "learn more" button on this page to add your name to some opposition list. I'd certainly like to learn more about what I'm signing up against, and I can do that myself, but I feel as if they would also have a responsibility to further educate if they're asking for my support.
I am just curious and not looking to start any kind of political discussion, but hypothetically speaking, should HK go to war (at any scale) with China, what would allies of HK be obligated to do? Does the handover of Hong Kong [1] mean that this might be treated as a humanitarian issue?

Given that the referendum failed by a 2:1 margin, I don't think he'd have been any more popular even if they had gotten their alternative voting system.

Maybe it's one of those things that voters would have liked once they had experience with it, but if Clegg thought it was something voters were clamoring for, he was very wrong.
Define "regular people's interest". American values? Health and security? There are governments that are pro-people (as opposed to pro-money) but they are generally not big global players, or if they are, they are designated Enemies of the West and it is enormously politically incorrect to discuss critically about them.
Now even the WSJ has clickbait titles. Should have been "Google price-checking system annoying merchants".
In short: No, we cannot do that at the moment.

We have photometric all-sky surveys that can map the entire sky (visible from the telescope location) during a night up to a certain brightness. But those only take images of the sky, not spectra (Zwicky Transient Facility and the planned Vera C. Rubin Observatory).

What we also have are integral-field spectrographs which can take 2D images with a twist: there is one image for every ~0.1nm from 480nm to 950nm. You take one exposure with the instrument and you get a stack of thousands of images. If you go through the stack at a fixed spatial position you get the spectrum.
The problem is that the integral-field spectrograph with the largest field-of-view is already huge (it is called MUSE at is located at the Very Large Telescope). And its field-of-view is "only" 1 arcmin^2 (1 deg = 60 arcmin), which is by far too small for large surveys. If you wanted to image the whole sky each night with MUSE clones, you would need several millions of them.
A single MUSE exposure is about ~5 GB in the end but there are intermediate data products which are about 10 GB, if I remember correctly.
That really can't be healthy for him, can it??
I wonder if these things will trickle into their super duty lineup. I know a bunch of RVers that would love to be able to ditch their generator.
Market cap is just a reflection of the total value of shares, enterprise value is a greater reflection of the perception of future cash flows, since it includes debt in the calculation.

Basically, Toyota has more debt, therefore its future earnings are assumed to be greater, because the market is valuing it at the current price, even knowing its debt burden. (Though there is alot of problems with this analysis based on how debt is accounted for, especially given companies like Toyota that have large financial units attached to them for loans).
