Another reason for the lag is that the modulation scheme is complex and requires considerable time to both acquire the actual demodulator lock (in fact, the symbol in typical terrestrial DTV system is surprisingly long) as well to acquire synchronization of the higher level FEC layers.
Dual-Sided Marketplace: The Struggle to Balance Supply and Demand
There's a chain of problems here. You'd need an open source GPS tracking app on your phone that has the rights to record and upload your location to a server whilst running in the background, then you need a personal server to store that stuff on, and then you need to find someone who knows what to do with that lot if and when you disappear.
> The funny thing is that I no longer channel surf

The cynical side of my brain feels that this is exactly what TV stations and show producers wanted. If it's fast and easy to spin the dial and maybe stop on a competitor (and more importantly, watch their ads instead of yours) then you have to put our quality product and not annoy the customer with as many loud and irritating ads, which means that you don't make as much money from the content that bookends your ads.
Guess Scott Forstall did not make extraordinary technical OR leadership contributions to personal computing while at the company. Bummer.
Apple intentionally prices a lot of customers out of their market. Their monetary strategy relies on it, oddly enough. If they sold to more people, they’d run into many more issues being seen as a monopoly.

Tim Cook spelled it out pretty clearly to Congress when he testified last week; Apple does not have majority market share in any market they’re in. Not in smartphones, tablets, laptops, desktops, or wearables. And they don’t want to have more market share. The inflated prices and being seen as a “luxury brand” is a great way for them to continue making a huge profit while restricting market share to the point that they can skirt around most monopoly law.

The downside there is to maintain growth, they need to continually push into new markets, which they’ve been doing about once every 5 years (desktops -> laptops -> phones -> tablets -> wearables -> automotive/AR?)

Anyone in music should stick to Intel, maybe for as much as three years.

The whole industry of music software is kind of weird… their products tend to be somewhat “closer to the metal” than typical software, even a bit more than video, graphics, CAD and 3D… improvements and bug fixes are few and far between.

Also, like most artists (in my experience), musicians tend to learn one way of doing things very very well and getting them to try anything new is next to impossible.
If you have the cash, I'd suggest you do it. I bought one kinda on a whim and I don't regret it at all. It's pretty much replaced my ThinkPad.

iPadOS is indeed more refined, but not all of it - there's a fair number of very specific things that are a total PITA on the iPad but a breeze on my desktop Mac. That makes doing serious work on the iPad a little challenging, though it's still possible, but for most serious work I still use the desktop. But for almost anything else, I prefer the iPad's mobility and UX. It's the best drawing tablet, ebook reader, web browsing and netflix machine I've ever had, all in one.
I thought this was only an issue in K-12, as anyone in research math considers the domain and the target to be part of a function, and then the problem disappears: The function R \ {0} -> R, x |-> 1/x is not just piecewise continuous but continuous on-the-nose. The function R -> R, x |-> 1/x doesn't exist. The function R |-> some completion of R, x |-> 1/x is continuous or not depending on which completion you choose (the one with two infinities or the projective line).

But I do recall a similar confusion happening with "piecewise linear" (the question is whether the pieces have to fit together).

>To query the index, we are going to apply the same tokenizer and filters we used for indexing

From developing a Lucene-based search engine years ago, I learned a very useful trick for things like stemming and synonyms: don't use the same tokenizer/filters that you used for indexing. It's much more flexible if you instead expand the query terms, replacing a given term with a list of OR clauses with all the synonyms.

So during indexing, if the document has "fishing", then you just add that to the index.

Later, during querying, the user can search for "fish" with optional stemming enabled, and their query will get re-written into

"fish" OR "fishing" OR "fishy"

This way, the user has control at query-time, and you can manage your synonym/stemming database without having to rebuild your index.

Of course, I had to write a custom parser for this but it was well worth it imo.

I was gonna make exactly this point. I know Forstall got forced out by management, but don't we have him to thank for iMessage's architecture?

The image reminds me of Guangzhou, China. I recently looked at google earth images of Guangzhou. I then looked at images of New York City. It is incredible to me that we in the U.S. think of New York City as a sprawling metropolis when not far from the city center it is mostly single family homes on plots of land. Whereas Guangzhou has many more high rise buildings for miles and miles. Get the ruler in Google Earth and check it out.

Sure you can embed any group in a permutation group, but that doesn't mean the two notions behave identically in all respects. For example, two groups being isomorphic is not the same as two permutation groups being isomorphic, as the latter come with their embeddings.

Perhaps, but the reduced wages (since total income is now UBI + wage instead of 0 + wages) sounds like it will more than make up for whatever increased costs they may have to make the working environment less shitty.
I enjoyed a lot the reading, but the title is misleading. Not everything went wrong, they even list things they feared could go wrong and didn't. By the end of, it went mostly right (except for spending more time and money than expected).

Not a bad story, on the contrary, but I was interested in reading about the learnings of pursuing a dream and things going actually wrong. What you do next? Try again? Try another thing? Go back to your old life with renewed insight? Gain in wisdom?
I knew a real estate agent who specialized in cabins and mountain properties.

He had a constant inventory of what he called "Divorce Cabins". They were half-finished DIY cabin builds or renovations that turned out to be way more stress and work than the couples expected. This tended to lead to divorce, which lead to a forced sale of the property.

Experienced contractors would pick them up at a discount, finish the work with their crews, and sell them off.

These things are doable if you have infinite time and money to spend on renting the right equipment and hiring help for jobs that require experience and/or multiple people. However, it's virtually impossible for someone to do on weekends alone.

> Does anyone actually use Zig in production?

Zig is cool but still very much unstable, running it in production is very much not recommended and/or insane. There's still quite a lot of compiler/stdlib bugs, design edge cases, and breaking changes including introduction of new bugs.

But it's amazingly refreshing for hobby stuff!
If you have the opportunity (and can find contractors willing to work with you), picking out parts of a project to DIY is a good way to build skills, and save $$s.

We're building a shop. I've contracted most of the build out, but found that I could save $20,000+ by DIY'ing the radiant heat portion myself. Took about a days worth of planning and research, another to lay down the pipe before the floor was poured, and another to hook everything up.

Honestly, the cost-differential was enough to make me think that I should start a company that installs radiant heating. I can't think of many other professions where I could clear $20,000 for 3-days of work.

I'm planning to DIY the solar-install on the same shop here in a couple of months, we'll see if that's as much of success story.
The similarities to web applications are not many. If you fuck up, you can erase the lines of code and replace it with the new ones. If you fuck up the foundation of your house, you've now potentially wasted many man-hours and whatever resources you used on it, and will probably need to spend just as many to fix it.

I lived out of two bags the first time and a car the second. I learned a lot about myself and the world. I had a good amount saved up, but I've met people who've done similar trips and haven't. I got the idea from a guy I met in a hostel who saved up $10k in a year from his job waiting tables, and traveled for a year off of it. My best friend lived in Germany for years off of <500 euro a month teaching English.

It's not an easy life for sure. Eventually that server went back to work at his restaurant, my friend teaching English returned to Ohio and I got a job in software engineering. I still wouldn't trade the experience for anything.

Around 10 years ago I wrote a mac app and put it on the mac app store, no amount of marketing spend seemed to drive sales up significantly to be break-even, but conversely even with no marketing, it makes on average $10 a day (less the apple cut and taxes).

That doesn't seem like much but if I had 10 niche apps which did the same then I'd have a pretty nice income floor.

"SSDs across the line"

Welcome to 2010, Apple.
My point is that using software is just a consequence of the desire to check for plagiarism. Your options are:

1. Check for plagiarism poorly by hand.

2. Check for plagiarism thoroughly with software

3. Don't check for plagiarism at all.

Option 1 I don't understand at all, and option 3 seems to negate the purpose of assigning essays.
Governments, businesses, and households in emerging/developing economies have been borrowing like drunken sailors since 2010. It's well documented. For instance, in late 2019, right before the economic shock of the pandemic, a team of academics at the World Bank published a comprehensive study of debt issuance by governments, businesses, and households around the world, titled "Global Waves of Debt" (available at https://www.worldbank.org/en/research/publication/waves-of-d...). Let me quote their key findings:

* "The global economy has experienced four waves of debt accumulation over the past fifty years."

* "The first three debt waves ended with financial crises in many emerging and developing economies."

* "The latest, since 2010, has already witnessed the largest, fastest and most broad-based increase in debt in these economies."

* "Debt distress... [is] more likely."

The pandemic has inflicted the largest economic shock in half a century to emerging-economy governments, businesses, and households that had borrowed the most ever in proportion to GDP prior to the pandemic. Turkey, I'm afraid, may be only the proverbial canary in the coal mine.

I am arguing that they're invaluable even if they're not needed now that LCD technology has advanced in terms of being able to assemble it.

It actually doesn't matter if its a screen, artwork or a photo. IMO bordered (black or white) photos is vastly superior to borderless photos. There is a reason why every museum that displays fine art photography have borders, almost always.

I don't see any distinction with screens. Perhaps, even more so important to have distraction free edges on monitors than photos.
In my country, every phone number is registered to a real human being, so a number can't be transferred to an anon.
But that is completely orthogonal to the issue of detection. In order to coach/mentor correctly, you need to know what it is your students are doing. It's still up to the teacher how they respond to plagiarism. But if you don't even know your students are plagiarizing, you're hardly in a position to coach them.
"Identical shares (3%) of conservative Republicans and moderate and liberal Republicans have heard or read a lot about the conspiracy theories."

https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2020/03/30/qanons-cons...

How many of those 3% who have heard or read a lot about it actually believe it is hard to estimate.

I have family that are fervent believers so this hits close to home.

If you've heard or read a lot about it, it's either because you believe it or are personally invested in it (I presume most likely due to having relationships with people who believe it).

Take a rough slice and say 10% of those people who have heard or read a lot about it are believers and the other 90% are their friends and family.

Sooo... 55 million registered republicans; Guesstimate 50% of those are considered "conservative" republicans by the terminology of the Pew poll; 3% of those have heard a lot about Q; 10% of those are believers. 55 * 0.5 * 0.03 * 0.1 and that's ~800,000 Q followers.

Is 800,000 mainstream for a conspiracy theory? I wonder how many people believe the earth is flat.

You really shouldn't be saying "you could do it if you really tried" to people when you don't know their situation. Maybe they have a bad knee. Maybe they have a chronic illness. Maybe they don't have the money to spend. It's not a personal failing to be unable to do something, and it's toxic to take that attitude.
> 1/2 TB in the $2300 one

It's $2k for the 27" with 500GB.

How much is it to get a really good quality 5k display with a Dell?

> What kind of magic fairy dust SSDs are they using that you can't have a sensible amount of storage space at those prices?

I'm using 165GB of 500GB on my current system. Considering all the systems issued by work are configured the same and nobody complains about space issues, I don't think it's a big problem.

I'd take the 5k display over 1TB storage any time. Sadly my work issues laptops and not iMacs.

New Subaru’s have the full iPad dash like Tesla’s and integrate CarPlay just fine. It’s a widget in a bigger ui.
> If you're doing that much reduction in your estimation, couldn't the same be said for software?

And this is why companies hire a hundred fresh grads for every gray hair. 99x/100 they don't need super high quality work output.

In all trades there's a hesitation to look at something and say "screw it, it doesn't really matter, just do what's cheap" unless you're being told to and software isn't immune from that (in software "told do" seems to come mostly in the form of time pressure whereas in the trades it's what the number job is paying). Sure it's nice to do "good" high quality work but a lot of the time it really isn't necessary or it's strictly wrong because whatever it is you're building needs to be built to a price point. It's only when you push things to the limit do all the little marginal details (the stuff the experienced pros get right) start mattering. That tends to accidentally happen more (at least in my estimation) in software than the trades because labor is so expensive and code is so easily portable.

Also, janky setups and quick-n-dirty fixes abound in all trades. You just only see them in trades you know about.
I don't buy this. We had an old cable box that had instantaneous channel-switching. The cable company made us switch to a brand new one. Same signal coming in, but the new one was infinitely slower. It wasn't some change in the signal that made things slow, it was the software and the complete lack of care for performance.
I think a variation of the argument is: You couldn't simulate the universe in the universe because you would need at least as many resources as the universe has but are limited to resources within the universe (unless you want to get hacky).

I assume they are implying that this thought process may not apply.
The idea was to allow prices to quickly return to their current level after going down, in what would normally be a violation of rent-control policies. That would easily be spun as allowing landlords to raise rent more quickly than they normally could.
