I'm a German that used to live in the US. In the US , voting sucks.

There is no "registering for voting" here. Ever citizen gets a piece of paper they bring to them to their assigned voting location(the room is assigned also, if you vote in person you have to go here). The voting places are always reasonably close. Like minutes by walking. You can opt to get a mail in ballot, if you want. Voting is always on Sunday when most things are closed. The vote turn out is over twice as in in Germany. The US has one of the lowest voter turn outs.

But our ballots are big and easy to read/mark. No stupid "dangling chad" crap like in FL in 2000.

I'm 100% against electronic voting.
Do you hace a link to the article? It sound very interesting
That's obviously not true. He LEADS the others who choose to follow him and use him as a scapegoat. Big difference.
Don’t overlook the possibility to use your own physical hardware, running high-end commodity graphics cards (2080Ti, Titan RTX), especially for model training. (I haven’t found this to be overly effort or time intensive and the payoff is enormous on a dollars-basis.)

You didn’t give enough details for someone to get really specific. I’m assuming from your text that the issue is inference not training costs, in which case there’s some great advice already posted, but more details might help.
>>That is one thing that is holding even India back. In democratic setup it is very difficult to take a long term view particularly when that comes with short term pain - the govt would be out in next election.

The one thing you can count India on is that democracy will prevail.

Any government which comes to power will always appease industrialists and investors albeit their electioneering manifesto may have been on the upliftment of the proletariat and bourgeois
I work there (in infra). I have yet to interact with a team that has dedicated QA. Checked the internal jobs board; no relevant term is listed among titles, areas of work, talent profiles, or skills, anywhere in the company including WhatsApp or Oculus. This is consistent with the "developers are fully responsible for their own code" ethos we're all taught in bootcamp - same reason we all get to do oncall. I'm personally familiar with many real adults up to senior director level, so "if you have a team run by adults" is definitely not true. Given your characterization of MZ (whether or not it's accurate), I'd say you clearly don't have any actual knowledge of the situation and shouldn't be presenting your guesses as fact.
FYI I feel like the language you use is kind of dehumanizing - “the beast in action”, viruses and antibodies when talking about people and what they write, etc.

Not saying that was your intent but wanted to share my impression. Don’t know if it’s just me or if others feels similarly.
I'd totally recommend if you want to form a healthy sleeping habit. It helped me understand my body a lot and put me in the right direction in terms of having quality sleep. The activity tracker in my opinion is good and a bonus but not as important as sleep tracking
But, I thought that the destroying property and violence doesn’t bring about democratic changes?

The iPad that you can get for $299 has great battery life, performance and it always works.

There is no Surface that can come close to this. Firstly because Windows is a nightmare compared to iOS. Imagine giving a Windows machine to your age-old mother-in-law? It wouldn’t last a month. As a professional user I want the same stability and ease for myself.

Oura ring 2 launched in Dec 2017 and shipments started in April 2018.
I guess some other people here are assuming malintent with your question. Assuming that the answer might be condescending or dismissive depending on how I answer. I'll assume that's not the case and that you simply want to know so you can answer with relevant examples, etc.

I did write C++ code for about 7 years. It was mostly C++98 and C++11.

Since then I've also done a fair bit of Rust. I'm also very familiar with Swift, Kotlin, Java, some lisps, JS, Go, and a few others. So I have enough breadth in language experience for any compare/contrasts you'd like to do.

I was just looking at Hetzner yesterday, looking to host a HA Postgres setup.

Their block storage volumes look interesting, but I couldn't find any information on performance guarantees, or even claims.

Anyone have an idea about performance (IOPS or MB/s)?
Even from the '80s to now, things have changed. The early transformers involved very heavy plastic and some die-cast metal construction. Later ones were more elaborate and poseable but also involved much thinner material and no die-cast metal parts.

> Letting the markets be relatively free to generate money, capturing it via efficient flat taxes (first and foremost, a consumption tax)

Danish income tax is certainly progressive rather than flat [1]. That's important for keeping inequality low, which again promotes social mobility and trust--crucial for an efficient free market.

I mean.... that case was neither "as it is written" nor "as intended".

In that case the court simply ruled on what was morally right.

LGBTQ people were not intended to be protected in the 1967 law, nor was it written as such.

I agree they deserve protections and Congress should amend the law as such. It's sad SCOTUS is made to break its role to fix this.
Time for a road trip?
Many high-end camera stores sell Gaffers tape. It is used extensively in the film industry exactly because it almost always leaves no residue. And what it does leave (in my experience) comes off very easily.
Do not listen to this person. The baofengs are perfectly fine radios which have gotten thousands of people re interested in ham radio. I have probably a dozen various models of them and use them for all sorts of things and love every part of it.
Is that still in development or is it an abandoned project?
> What I discovered was that most of these brilliant people would not share a lot of their knowledge.

Is that "would not" or "it isn't a priority"?

In a consultant role, a lot of what I initially saw as my value was transferring as much knowledge as possible to my clients' staff. I prided myself on how much I was able to boostrap a team to self-sufficiency and how many years it was before I ever heard from them again.

I was mostly wrong. For the vast majority of my clients' staff, my value lay in achieving some deliverable for them, and the value stream ended "dead right there". For technical concerns, it was way faster for clients' staff to treat me as a DSL Google for the particular problem space I was parachuted in to assist with, than for them to read the material I wrote for them. I did a long stint as a technical writer to put bread on the table while sharpening my coding/design skills in college, did a few user and developer guides for commercially released products that were well-received, so I am pretty sure the written material I leave with them is not lacking, as I re-use those skills weekly in my sales activities.

It is an incentives and culture problem. People are heavily incentivized to short-term results, and long-term cognitive wealth is heavily discounted. It takes an active, conscious effort by an individual to work against that pressure and actually go beyond the process described in documentation if they get good procedures that not only explain what to do, but in a manner that doesn't interfere with streamlined procedure-following, the reasoning behind what they are doing so they are equipped with a model to handle edge cases that come up during operation of the procedure.

In most average IT offices, there's probably 1 out of 10 who are like this to varying degrees, from the curious intern to the Free Electrons. They're a delight to work with and share with.

The best part of sharing: I get to learn and push my own boundaries as I get to play with a new friend in the model space to discover new corners I missed earlier. I like feeling I'm the dumbest bloke in the room in a creative atmosphere when there is no pressure on to fix something quickly; that's when I learn the most, when my mind is on fire.

I can see for someone like those on your team of brilliant mates, it can be hugely demoralizing over time to write and try to actively share, only to realize that only the rote part of it is ever used by the majority. That evolves over time into de-prioritizing that sharing to just the rote parts, and then as other teams ignore even that finding it easier to open incident tickets and loop them in, making only half-hearted attempts at sharing the rote parts.

First, we were discussing speech not some limited subcategory speech.

Second, threats of unlawful violence are not free speech. Threats not to engage in economic transactions that one is under no obligation to engage in in the first place absolutely are free speech.

This however is also true of most companies and certainly most charities. Waste isn’t a unique hallmark of government.
This belief is widespread, but mistaken. It tries to slip in a conjecture as an axiom in the unstated leg of the enthymeme. It’s the worst sort of hand waving, but the conclusion apparently flatters the biases of those who wish to believe it such that they happily overlook the sloppiness.

Also our physical theories are only computable with an arbitrary halt thrown in at some level of accuracy deemed good enough. And there too theoretically questionable trickery like renormalization is used to reduce the problem to a tractable size.
Real estate prices will likely drop.

> PhD is not strictly necessary, but the process and training that results in a PhD degree is.

I was just about to post the same. I just finished a master's in math (in fact, with additional coursework in physics and statistics I've almost completed two master's) and I don't feel ready to tackle outstanding math problems.

And the PhD students I knew were receiving a lot of help from their mentors as they learned how to tackle outstanding problems.

There's just so much to learn to contribute to research math these days, it's hard to imagine anyone learning it all on their own.

Because SARS-CoV-2 isn’t the only pathogen out there, and a decent mask is basically a magnet for everything tiny that can harm you.

That's the last paragraph, which probably should have been stated sooner. The timeout issue could be a mistake, but if not it seems to support the spying theory.

> One strategy to mitigate the contact transfer of pathogens from the FFR to the wearer during reuse is to issue five respirators to each healthcare worker who may care for patients with suspected or confirmed COVID-19. The healthcare worker will wear one respirator each day and store it in a breathable paper bag at the end of each shift. The order of FFR use should be repeated with a minimum of five days between each FFR use.

Disinfecting is required when supply is so constrained that issuing five respirators to every worker plus replacements isn't possible. You can disinfect a mask in minutes and get it back on the floor. Also, letting a mask sit will get rid of most viruses, including COVID-19, but it won't get rid of other pathogens (e.g. bacteria).

This is not true at all, because you live in the house. The primary value of a house is as a place to live. In fact, some people never sell their house, and live there until they die.
It’s not quite like natural, natural is a word that would predate any comoany trying to take it for their own ends. “Open Source” as a terminology was coined in 1998 by a group of people, and the OSI was formed by one of those people that same year to help define what the term would mean and encourage industry adoption. An entity that has existed as long as the term has and helped shape it’s perception to programmers is a bit different than an entity coopting a term that had prior use.

Regardless, I’ve always understood Open Source to also mean open to use, extension, and repackaging myself. The exact definition indeed doesn’t have to be owned by the OSI, but their guideline are a pretty good approximation of what I would expect code to do to be truly open source.

Gab literally went out of their way to market their service and platform towards the most disreputable. I'm not saying that what happened to them was acceptable, but there's a reason why it's hard to make people care about this stuff. And if nobody cares, it doesn't take much of a "movement" for activists to get their way.
I upvoted, it's all good advice, but the blanket statement that "formal CS is useless..." is a little strong. CS undergrad is generalist and mostly about types of problems and surveys of solution flavors and POCs of specific solutions in domains that are hot or cool or whatever and geared to students who are just trying to get through and don't have time or patience to work through bespoke granular details. Getting the idea is good enough for a B. Kernel programming is largely the opposite in all respects.

Many topics, problem domains, solution approaches e.g. usually covered in CS undergrad are not relevant for kernel programming. Not useless, but not relevant.

Kernel programming relative to most CS undergrad courses is like taking a semester-long lab, but starting from the best A+ project from the last 5 years, and instead of newly solving the problem, spending time working on understanding why the best A+ solution still sucks, under what edge conditions it fails, and then testing how it can be made better.

Active disinfection probably degrades the material.. Wearing them too long probably does too (moisture from breathing). But I agree you can have say 4 or 5 N95s and rotate them.
Yes, animations really influence decisions. Mainly about using the particular piece of software at all (animations are no go for me and a lot of other people).

Some folks do not have the luxury to spend hundreds of miliseconds to seconds each time they do some action (and believe me or not, they do A LOT of actions per day).

Some people are actually using computers to do stuff as fast as possible so they have fast computers. Having fast computer doesnt automatically mean someone is willing to spend those resources on some eye candy.

Stuff moving around actually increases information overload as it adds to state one needs to track (moving object). To some folks this this even causes problems from medical reasons.

When it comes to information density, this should actually be up to user as well (lets call it compact mode for example) but at least to me it is not as critical as movements. Best would be being able to set "margin sizes" or something like that. And even that should be completely trivial given that no one should really write fixed-widget-position applications these days (i havent done so in ages, i'm using vertical/horizontal containers and spacers).

As should be application color theme as we are/were used to for a loooong time. But I understand that it isn't something Windows users are aware of, since each and every program there forces you to look at completely different interface that behaves in other way and has other ux logic.

I do think we can both agree that being able to stop all and every animation (including fading and whatever else in this category) is very important for user inclusion and accessibility. And since (as you said) slowing those down is needed for their development, "disabling" that feature should already be trivial. It just has to be available to user. Otherwise it's just an arrogant negligence and showing over-supremacy by "i know better what you like to look at".
The more we learn about neuroscience, the more we learn that your conscious brain is merely the CEO, and that the brain is contradictory often competing sub-organizations with differing priorities and relative power in the organization. Dysfunction comes from an over-powered HR dept, etc.

I largely agree with the essence of what you are saying, which is that there is no "inner child", although some people may be more capable of "reinventing the wheel" internally, which may allow for some new optimization for the overall structure.
Operator overloading in Rust is less flexible than in C++, so there are fewer possibilities to mess it up.

Overloading is done indirectly via specific named traits which enforce method signatures, invariants, immutability rules. Assignments and moves can't be overloaded. Borrow checker limits what indexing and dereferencing overloads can do (hardly anything beyond pointer arithmetic on immutable data). Comparison operators can't be overloaded separately and can't return arbitrary values (like C++ spaceship operator). Generic code has to explicitly list what overloads it accepts (like C++ concepts), so even if you create a bizarre overload, it won't be used in generic code.
Isn’t there also a limited set of genres of games anyway?

Why would you rebrand Starcraft if the players only want a reskinned version of Starcraft 1? There’s probably not much new you can invent by trying a totally new RTS anyway.

We don’t reinvent football for example. Reinventing it would get rid of the whole industry around the watching of football.

I would not say they are liberal (in the classic sense).

They may be not socially conservative but they have strong statist and even fascist tendencies - just look how they censor speech (where and when they can) and how they use their influence to establish a government of their choice.

While that may seem how democracy is supposed to work, if they were libertarian they would want a smaller government, not just a government they like. So the other claim from the effing article is also false, that they are against regulation. They are only against regulation of their affairs. but they are very much for increased regulation of others and we can be sure if they had more power they would expand taxation or debt issuance, as well as increase censorship of content they see undesirable.

Not libertarian at all.
Nothing is stopping you from applying all those optimizations to on-premise hardware, right?

That is, I am not sure "public cloud, if you spend lots of effort to optimize it and ask devs to be careful, can be as cheap as a naive on-prem implementation where devs don't need to be careful" is an argument for public cloud.
Point of order: the electorate is 114,000 people who can vote at any one of the 86 booths. Or by mail. Or absentee somewhere else. The booth itself had 110 people vote there. I’ve since found another with only 98!

I personally think your fears are misplaced. If a small community is going to go after people for their votes they know each other well enough to go after each other with proxies for their vote instead.

This isn’t really an electoral problem at this point, it’s a regular small town rumour and innuendo problem.
