Maybe there are more official ways to try, but there's always the Twitter escape hatch. Try the main account https://mobile.twitter.com/gandibar and make some noise with engineers you can find working there.

I wouldn't normally recommend it immediately, but it really looks like they try to hide any interactive support channel.
Yes! The act of transcribing allows for reorganization and better recall. What i find amazing about plain paper/notebooks is that we remember visually where to find info.
Manually searching by flipping through the pages also further helps cement the information.
Search functionality is useful in some cases but for essential notes it is a bit overrated IMO

I've recently started using org-capture and org-agenda (LONG-time org-mode user with a hot-key (Auto HotKey) to bring up emacs). Seems to work pretty well. (I'm always at my keyboard during the work day, and sometimes even when not.)

With just my phone, Google Keep.

The Dutch say the same thing about Holland. The reality is that the name of a province hosting the capital city is often substituted for the name of the country.

I saw an old man interviewed once. He was demanding that "newfoundland" be listed as his birthplace on his passport, not Canada. He was technically correct (NL was not part of canada when he was born) but it's not worth the fight imho.
They propose that the virus evolved the furin site during infection of the miners. It wasn't pulled from lung mRNA, but evolved due to random mutagenesis. This seems to me to be the weakest part of the whole story. But they argue that this is more plausible than the same thing happening in a pangolin.
I suppose my issue here is that, all the point I mentioned appear to be inconsistencies with the current official statements and all the counter arguments deconstructed them are probability based and arguably as speculative as the authors claims on biogenisis.
The US is a superpower, and uses the military to create mostly stable political structures around the world that benefit the US. The oceans are patrolled around the world, and the nuclear arsenals facilitate mutual assured destruction, which is the only stable nuclear outcome in a world with enough nukes to destroy the planet.

This military is an all-volunteer force. This wasn't always the case, but we found out in the 70's that requiring people to join can get extremely contentious if the reasoning for a conflict isn't absolutely clear to the layman. This means there has to be massive recruitment drives to get the people required for the large military.

Early recruitment ensures indoctrination, which isn't evil, it just means instilling certain norms and cultures into someone so that they can cooporate and do their job in an environment that humans didn't evolve in.

In the UK, student loan payments can be made online without authentication: if you know the right details, it just works. Which was convenient for me, because I have never managed to log into my account.
Seems they still use the same logic though: https://github.com/rpm-software-management/rpm/blob/853c48ba...
He worked on some of those things in 1666 but did not publish anything. That is kind of the point of the article. Newton had a lot of reluctance around publication; he did not follow modern norms.

The Outerbridge Crossing really surprised me! I had always assumed it was the most outer bridge crossing from New Jersey into New York.

Another piece of local infrastructure named after the architect is the Holland Tunnel. It’s not named after the region in Europe and has no relation to New York originally being settled by the Dutch.
Reusable, yes.

Recyclable? No. The recycled plastic bag market has collapsed. The price of recycled plastic bags has dropped significantly. For many municipalities (ie: handled by "Waste Management" company), the company has decided that cleaning out plastic bags from conveyor belts is more costly than the price of recycled plastic.
Yes, the standards have been named like that since 2015. In fact ES6 was renamed to ES2015. Since then there have been yearly "releases"/standard versions.

Is this a problem due to the existence of Easter Europeans or a problem of Government not enforcing the regulations. Why don't you demand enforcement of regulations instead of wholesale ban of Eastern Europeans?

Also, how do you feel about sending all non-complient workers to Eastern Europe or do you think that German non-complient workers should just get a fine?

My wife likely had covid in March (she was unable to get tested at the time due to no fever) and experiences similar symptoms described in the article (breathlessness and fatigue). Interestingly, she had a physical in February and all blood work was normal. She went for another check-up in June due to her breathlessness and found that she had hyperthyroidism. Our hypothesis is that her thyroid problem could have been caused by covid. Mentioning in case anyone else has observed this pattern.

I wish people would only build 90's style sites.

The way things are going is bad, here are some example sites that I find particularly difficult to use:

- new reddit (old reddit is much, much better)
- parley (yes, the "free speech" twitter) has a terrible UI. it takes like a year to post a tweet and you wait like 30 seconds for some dynamic spinning progress dialog to go away

The web was not invented as an application development platform. I think we have gone too far with web applications. Good web apps are simple and have low complexity. Once you start trying to make it really "modern" and fancy you're shooting yourself in the foot because of all the browser quirks. The more you use heavyweight frameworks, the more complex and crufty your work becomes.

With that said I do see the appeal because there aren't many good desktop UI frameworks either. I've worked with Qt enough to know it's plenty frustrating. On the other hand, if it's so easy to make a portable web app, why do we have things like Electron that ship a browser with your web-app, aside from native experience? Wait, did I dare say: native experience, is valuable?

We are well past peak web app, we are even past peak mobile app. What even makes an app, an app? Is it that it's tailored to a smaller purpose than more general applications? Would you call Microsoft Visual Studio an app? Probably not. Is it good software, yes. Is Vim an app? I don't think I'd call it that. How about 'cat'? Nah... Apps are tailored to a specific business purpose rather than a more general use case.

Apps are a fad, but good software tools are not a fad. Build good tools, don't build apps (unless you're paying the bills)
Another great example of an innovator who was not rewarded is Shuji Nakamura, who invented the blue LED, which led to a lot of other successful products including the white LED and the bluray disc platform. Nakamura was not rewarded by his company, went on to win a Nobel prize with collaborators from his company. Nakamura left the firm, sued the firm and basically walked away with nothing. He's now an academic at an American university.
Cpio did have some advantages. It was more space efficient, and would read past errors. See https://www.gnu.org/software/tar/manual/html_section/tar_71....
It's a "can" that one puts "trash" into, so the term appears descriptive on the surface. When it then turns out to just be named after the inventor, it would indeed be quite surprising. Which is why I was asking whether there was some pre-existing meaning for the word. Otherwise it's like:

Oh my God! I just realized that Zeppelins were invented by Graf von Zeppelin. What are the odds of the person inventing airships also having the last name that airships are often called by?
Children often answer questions nonsensically. They are prompted over years to be serious and answer questions correctly.
On my computer, single process Node vs single process Rust:

- Rust: 20k requests in 10.04s

- Node: 4k requests in 10.11s

Tested with `autocannon http://localhost:3030`.

Running multiple Node processes will beat it for sure.

But then you're using a lot more memory and CPU, I think.

I wonder if an EU court or anti-trust investigation might determine that this right should allow for continuous data transfer between accounts, rather than one-off transfers.

In theory, anything you post on Mastodon could be automatically cross-posted on your Facebook page, so that your Facebook friends don't need a Fediverse account and you don't ever need to visit Facebook.

The difficult part is that you really want to be able to see replies from your Facebook friends, and Facebook will argue that these replies are "personal data" belonging to those friends, not to you, so you can't ask for them to be exported.
Fortunately, humans are better at spotting reasoning errors in others than in themselves.
This is the 19th time you posted this (13 in the last week), sometimes with a slightly different title. A few repost are ok here, but somewhere between 5 an 10 the limit of to much repost.

The users will start to notice it, and flag this, and then the mods may ban your account or your site.

Try to write and post something else, or wait until you have a new article to post it.

Also, the post with text instead of an URL have an automatic penalty here, so it is more difficult to reach the front page. Using this method to avoid the duplicate submission detection will make users and mod unhappy, and that increase the chance of flags and bans.
Assuming that is true, it doesn't really answer the question of why an existing player should be that innovative. Experiments by existing players are harshly critiqued, the division that does them is demoralized by other divisions that contribute to quarterly profits and any innovation that is useful is pretty easily copied by competition. Since every existing player has a patent portfolio of BS for the Texan kangaroo court, there wont be a good return in royalties. Running garbage through an oversized legal department while copying someone else is a better investment in R&D.
This is called the "lump of labour fallacy". There aren't just a fixed number of jobs to be filled by the people who live in a country. As more people arrive, those people need to pay for services such as rent, groceries, cars etc. etc. creating more work and more jobs. The fact is that the majority of immigrants in the UK are young, and therefore contribute a disproportionate amount of tax relative to what they take out from government services.

It's not all roses - UK companies, such as fruit farms, are able to treat low-skilled immigrant workers worse than long-term residents. But there are also plenty of high-skilled immigrants, so to pretend that it's about countries being "sold out to stock markets" is naive. Just wait to see what happens to the NHS as foreign workers leave over the next few months.

I have one of those finger monitors that always reports things as fine (>97%, almost always 99%).

It is difficult to describe what I feel. It is almost like I feel I am being partially suffocated from within my sinus if that makes sense? Like there is an obstruction. There isn't though as I have rinsed them and had doctors have a good look and even probe around in them and all is good apparently.

The only theory my doctor friends have for now (other than COVID doing lung damage) is I could have some hidden swelling in my sinus that is changing the air flow and causing my body to think it isn't getting enough air as I breath through my nose leading that to slow suffocation sensation. Apparently there is a condition people who have sinus surgery get which is very similar but I have avoided making it worse by researching it.
The important thing is that there is qualitative improvement only from quantitive increase. Other software doesn't function like this, switching to a better CPU won't enable new features in Excel. This is not a given, and the fact that there is some proof that it could happen is significant, although it's too early and unsure to really tell. We are nowhere near the border of the amount of resources we can put into a bigger model, what if it just keeps getting better?
Britain before the virus had close to full employment. We had 3 or 4 unfilled positions for every person on unemployment benefit. Most people unemployed found jobs quickly. In mid 2019 there were only 327,000 Britons who had been unemployed for more than a year, but over 3.5 million foreign nationals working in the UK.

The British jobs for British people argument is utter garbage. It’s so incredibly far from reality it beggars belief. It’s flat earth economics. The Johnson government knows this perfectly well, that’s why they extended work visa rights for foreign students in the UK and guaranteed that foreign nationals in the UK would keep long term rights to work here.

Our economy is crying out for skilled workers, it’s the number one roadblock to increased growth. Foreign workers tend to be young, more productive, consume fewer social services, pay more tax and commit fewer crimes than native Brits, by a lot. With an ageing population and increasing health care and pension costs, we need them more than ever.
It's interesting that half way through the optimizations haskell is doing 3.3 terabytes of total heap allocation.

When it gets to 93 seconds it is doing 208 GB of heap allocation and in the final version it is still doing over 20 GB of heap allocations. This seems like quite a bit for a 384x216 image.
The best note app I found is a journal app. I’ve been using Day One for more than a year now, and it’s holding Evernote’s promise of remembering everything.

I do use Apple Notes too beside Day One for temp notes (email drafting, edit texts, links to check & trash, etc), but it’s on my journals where my knowledge-notes reside.

What people like from real notebooks is that you don’t have to think about organization, you just start a note in the next blank page. With Day One that’s what I got (even by email), and then, once I need to search for something in my personal log, I can organize stuff with tags or backlinking notes.

The “On this day” function also helps, as you can prune old ideas or notes that were a dead-end.

Personally, I’m sold.
I am seeing it being used in tons of academic settings, especially with distance learning haha
I wonder how much of those things he actually figured out in his 20s and just did not publish, versus thinking about them without drawing many conclusions or making significant progress until he actually published 20 years later?
In this case, I'm not convinced that it's people in the UK in particular who'll have trouble ordering things from Amazon. For historical reasons, the UK has a disproportionate amount of Amazon logistics infrastructure compared to most other EU countries and I think they've even been fulfilling European "sold by Amazon" orders from the UK warehouses. If anything does affect the supply of goods from UK Amazon it's more likely to be disruption of shipping into the warehouses.
I don't think it's just coincidence. A lot of "A or B" questions tend to have B as the correct answer with the first option just being there to confuse the reader. I find it likely that a statistical algorithm would pick up on that.
I definitely agree with this sentiment. However, if there is any development job where enthusiasm would be of a benefit, I would think the front end is a good candidate. I imagine it also depends on the culture of the workplace, too. Some may favor the "trends" that are associated with the web, while others may just want somebody as you describe.

I do not hire developers, but I can imagine that with the lower barrier to entry for front end jobs in 2020, companies have a difficult time differentiating all the new grads/bootcampers/self taught developers. It's almost teetering towards the same conversation as the leetcode problem -- merely finding a way to cut the pool of candidates given the vast amount to begin with.
I washed dishes professionally once. Literally once, I worked at a golf course (typically picking up golf balls). Something happened in the kitchen and they didn't have a dishwasher that night... so they switched me over to dishwashing.

> Inside the dish machine, recycled soapy water blasts them for maybe 40 seconds, and then they are sanitized with extremely hot fresh water for maybe 20 seconds.

These two steps were a pipeline in the setup. The recycled soapy water was one "station". You pull down on a lever, and it goes up a bit later. You slide the tray to the right, pull a 2nd lever (for the 2nd station) for the very hot fresh water.

I don't know what temperature the "hot water" was, but by touch I'd describe it as "burning hot". Lots of steam, and the plates basically dried off by themselves in just minutes because it was so hot.

---------

Honestly, commercial dishwashing systems are significantly superior to the home stuff. If anything, my time as a professional dishwasher (as limited as it was) taught me that commercial systems care far more about sanitation than home systems.
The secret here is about the input: a key stroke on the keyboard is always the same movement, more or less, while letters are each a different symbol/drawing. There's very little creativity to pressing keys on a keyboard, while handwritten text is unique to each person, in time.
Hills are amazing at collecting water. You need to build swales on contour with the land (typically I fill my swales with woodchips and they become walking paths.

The dirt and turf that is removed from building the swale goes on the lower side so you end up having double the topsoil in a bed the same length as the swale to grow food in.

Additionally because you have a hill, you may capture water in a reservoir (home made rain barrels) and then use common rubber hose (can be broken/found freely) to transport water around the property with just gravity.

Till 1990 all citizens of Soviet Union called as "soviet people", but every citizen has stamped his nation (according parents nation or each soviet republic, where they born) in their personal passports.

So, your story with Dutch/Holland not related in any way to Soviet Union story.

P.P.S. Ivan Maximovich Piddubny[0] (mispelled as Poddubny[1]), the Champion of Champions, born in Krasenivka village (Cherkasy oblast, Ukraine), also identified himself as Ukrainian and never as Russian in his Soviet Union passport.[2,3]

That's actually kinda cute, and oddly off putting at the same time.

I really am curious now in what happens back-end, in the model itself, and if it is actually learning. Really should follow Gwern and his circle, it's a lot better than the blind and baseless hype/criticism floating around the internet.

Linux desktop is simply unreliable. I know this might not be what the community would like to see in the comments, but in my experience, the linux desktop has a long way to go in terms of reliability.

For example, an ubuntu update, literally crashed my system and i managed to recover my machine from collapse. I am a techie, so i managed to do this, how many normal people can do this ? Would they know where to look for the issue ?

Also, the desktop freezing, and constant popups asking to submit reports for some internal issues is quite an annoyance.

Having said these, using only cli linux is the best and no OS comes closer to the versatility of linux. But as a desktop, i feel its has not made it. Reliability is a core feature.
