I love Hitchcock and this film, and i'd never heard this before: "Hitchcock made the film in complete secrecy. He optioned Robert Bloch’s 1959 novel, and bought up all printed copies, to keep the plot secret."
If you increase production, wouldn’t that produce more air pollution?

If we scale up this mind set and suddenly produce 100x Increase in electric cars and nuclear plants, wouldn’t we see a massive spike in air pollution much more than if we simply had 0 production of these?

I’ve been very skeptical of “produce more green energy” solution because they seem to pile on more problems under the guise that it is better in the long run.

Isn’t the best ultimate solution to consume less? Fewer cars, fewer things.

Which is not the same thing as having mail delivery being controlled by private companies, who are even less answerable to the public than elected politicians.

The implementation may have been bad, but I thought it was a unique way to add some revenue. Pocket seemed like a useful product that would appeal to the technical focused userbase Firefox has. It's sad that it didn't work out for Mozilla.

I feel disappointed with the failure of companies like Mozilla and canonical to thrive. They have the right values, the talent, and good products. They just don't seem to be able to make money. It feels like the only way to make money is by spying on your users, or doing other unsavory things like Apple does.
I used to agree with this (and I still hate 'procedural content' because of how absolutely soulless it is), but GPT-3 gets close enough for me (though it requires cherry picking). It's at least miles above 'procedural content'.

Like, read this story for example:
https://read-the-samples.netlify.app/sample_99

It still has issues, but at its core, it has a lot of character and is quite funny to me. I'm not sure if GPT-3 truly has an understanding of its 'meaning', but it definitely can at least somewhat emulate such an understanding it.
Time to get off the Firefox train. Brave (the browser) it is...
Is it a comedy or a horror? I'm having trouble interpreting.
This is incredible! Gosh, if only people were smart enough to actually wear masks and not invoke their "constitutional rights", we probably won't be in the shitshow that we are in today. Kudos to you for making this!
Sweet app, nice job.

This isn't a problem on Android, at least from what I can see. IMO at the small scale the benefits of the play store (payment processing, discoverability, bandwidth, hosting) outweigh anything you could gain by offering your apk for direct download somewhere else.

Plus, even if you try to deploy malware you still need to get through the regular permission dialogs and other bits of Android security. I have no idea how easy/hard this is but I would be surprised if iOS performs substantially worse here.
Sorry, I worded that poorly. What I should have said is that we don't have proof/disproof, because nobody has figured out how to do the experiment(s) needed to get there.

Not at all; I find Vox to be laughable rather than anger-making -I just can't figure out how anybody can take it any more seriously than something like the Drudge Report. You can be "middle of the road" and still super, monstrously wrong. Vox is very good at this!

The article itself isn't the worst thing they ever published, but it's pretty typical of the genre; vapid, misleading, basic midwit nonsense that seems like a good idea but actually is barking insanity.
> Red Hat did use upstart before adopting systemd FWIW

RHEL added support for Upstart as a hybrid with SysV, however it was never heavily used and not by most of their own packaged RPMs. Spin up a CentOS 6 server, install a bunch of daemons then go compare /etc/init/ to /etc/rc.d/init.d/.
After living in Vietnam for 4 years, which has massive air quality issues, I wouldn't say they want or even care to do something about it. They just live with it.
That 30% includes payment processing. Taking into account the probably relatively high chargeback rate (I'm thinking of kids using their parents' card), that might make up for 5% or more. So they may be taking a little off the top, but not a ludicrous amount.
AFAIK modern reactor designs do a lot to solve the long-term storage issues; from what I remember France uses a series of different reactor designs, combined with reprocessing, that result in a small amount of waste that's only a problem for 60-70 years.

The kind of reactor most people think of (again, AFAIK) are breeder reactors, or otherwise derived from breeder reactors, which were about making weapons-grade material rather than power, which is part of the reason those designs have the issues everyone (largely legitimately) has with them.
Fwiw a United States where people are forced to give other people attention and money against their will is neither kind, nor has it ever existed.

Jira is a workflow tool, which also means that most of the issues mentioned here, can be sorted out between the PM and devs on who the workflow should be, and what the rituals for updates should/could be. Jira is flexible enough to accomodate it (mostly). From a developer perspective, some of the points maybe valid, but not from PM perspective.

It would also help if we could get an idea of what the alternatives are, that are better

Edit: Also looks like marketing for the product, than a valid article on Jira pitfalls.
If you've actively lobbied for that for years, in multiple states and those darn Republicans refused it... Then those years would include times when there was a Democrat president and congress, and governors.

So maybe blaming the other side is just politically convenient?
When you code in assembly language, you discover how incompletely documented every chip is. Any detail of behavior not documented might change in a later chip, and is thus UB.

Makers of compatible chips are obliged to keep a collection of systems with all the extant chip designs to run experiments against, and to maintain their own documentation of discovered but unspecified commonalities that users' code may have come to depend on.

Each released chip, and each stepping of each release, has its own unique set of bugs-- deviations from documentation, from observed behavior of previous chips, and of chips yet to be released.

Writers of assembly code need a compendium of behaviors, documented or not, that cannot be relied on for the set of release platforms. Many such bugs depend on an ill-characterized history of processor states, making them, often, (more or less) reliably reproducible only with a particular program that was discovered to evoke each. Often the behavior noted is seen only once in a million runs.

An example on Intel is the popcount instruction that runs very slowly, sometimes, in chips released up to a few years ago. The instruction appeared along with ...SSE3?, and had the bug until it was noticed and fixed in a subsequent chip. The bug is the reason Gcc uses the same register for source and destination when it emits this instruction. Intel's ISA manual does not mention this behavior.
Hey, newish customer here. I’m in the 10%—my bag is somewhere halfway across the country, and USPS hasn’t posted an update in a week now. I’ll need to supplement with Instacart, which kinda breaks the abstraction.

I totally appreciate that USPS isn’t in your control.

Cost isn’t really a constraint for me, but running out of coffee is. I just checked and I don’t see a way to switch to FedEx or UPS for an additional charge. Is that something your team is exploring?

Takeaways:

1) If the NSA interacts with you, you are a victim. It's possible there are no meaningful exceptions to that.

2) The NSA interacts with Americans (not suspected of a crime) as if we were a hostile foreign actor.

3) It is both sound and safe to presume that the IC community has lost it's way. This is true during every administration. It may be somewhat less true, for a time, after a bit of IC wrongdoing is outed.

4) IC chiefs lie to the public to the point where it's unclear if they ever tell a meaningful truth.

5) The National Security portion of NSA's title implies that the interests served by the agency are US Gov's but not the public's.

6) The NSA does not even pretend to defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies [to the Constitution], foreign and domestic; or to bear true faith and allegiance to the same [Constitution].
Emotionally Broken
I know how superficially contradictory this may seem, but I disagree at an emotional level, however, I rationally see where you're coming from, and perhaps even agree to an extent.

For me, the 'process' of creation of a game, or piece of art, is interesting in and of itself. Whether a song was created for profit only, or inspired by the loss of someone close, is interesting on its own but it does not enrich the work, if that makes sense. The work in itself produces feelings, and those feelings would be there regardless of origin. In fact, I've found myself deeply moved by music, ascribing to it meaning and intent, that turns out is completely different from that intended by the author. That is what I mean when I say I emotionally disagree with you. If a work of art can produce feelings in us that the author never felt nor intended, can we say that the author matters in any special way? After all, we're post-Death of the Author.

However, for the rational part of me, the source matters. If for no other reason than philosophically: Why does art inspire feelings in us, even those unintended by the artist? Is it empathy? Even if misguided? If so, we could say art is devalued by a non-feeling creator: after all, what's there to empathise with? Or is it the recognition of something within ourselves? A (guided) self-introspection, if you will? Then the source doesn't inherently devalue the product; unless you're somehow opposed to introspecting based on the output of a machine.

I feel as if some of us have been so worried about sentient/super-intelligent AI outperforming us creatively, we haven't worried enough about what it would mean if non-sentient/'intelligent' AI outperformed us at our own creative process. Or even reached parity - that on its own would be monumental.
Emotionally Broken is a domestic thriller. Its a fast paced, emotionally roller-coaster love story gone wrong.

So many things today are described as 'dangerous', especially ideas and information. What is truly dangerous is the idea that some information and thoughts are so dangerous (stuff we don't agree with) that they ought to be censored, deplatformed, banned from the internet, whatever.

I try to remind myself that people say crazy stuff for clicks all the time and that they probably have a more reasonable and nuanced opinion in person. Even so, I'm scared that the zeitgeist is moving towards absolutism, intolerance, censorship, etc.

Hey there, Sudowrite founder here. We're building on GPT-3, and the OpenAI is still early, so we aren't allowed to give public access just yet. So yes, these are static snippets for now. But the quality is on par with average results from Sudowrite.
Thanks so much Steven! Hopefully visualizations like this can drive home how wearing a mask protects your entire community, not just yourself.
Agreed but I dont think I do much that would keep more than 4 cores maxxed out.
I was told by an engineer from Leapyear Technologies (https://leapyear.io/) that this library was mostly primitive functionalities that are behind the current mainstream practices.

>Whatever is going on at Mozilla right now, the notion that a piece of open source software even needs to be profitable (let alone supported by a single large company) in order to continue existing is ridiculous.

Large FOSS projects requiring specialists (like Rust does) all seem to supported by companies paying, and often it's a large single company too, whether that's like PHP and Zend, RedHat and various projects, Mono and Xamarin, and so on.

Else you get something that takes fovered to develop further, releases are sporadic, people go on and off, etc.

Heck, GTK+ is/was one of the most adopted FOSS libs, and a dependency for tons of applications, distros, etc. And yet it just had a single dev working on it at some point (like, e.g., a person doing 300 commits each month, and another 50 persons doing 100 comits a year combined).
That's determined by the states. In many states the postmark is irrelevant. The votes must be delivered on time or they don't count.
One of the big problems with the Linux Desktop evangelism community is that they've entangled their identity with their OS of choice, and thus interpret all criticism as a personal attack.

I still maintain that for all its many technical and architectural faults, the biggest thing holding back wider Linux Desktop adoption is the Linux Desktop community itself.
You wouldn't use the compiler to build you programs, you'd just use it to detect UB.

It would be especially useful if you could specify your entry point(s), and let it find all cases where user inputs could cause UB.

I think it would be especially helpful for checking the output of compile-to-c languages.

At first glance, I agree with you, but upon further thought, I remember a literature class we had in college and we were reading something and had dissected it to bits. We had extracted and applied so much meaning to a few passages and a few of us pointed out that all this nuance was almost certainly unintentional and that we were reading far too deeply into it.

But the professor's question was "does it really matter that this wasn't the intent?"

And that sort of changed the way I approached the literature. When you are reading, are you reading and studying it to merely learn about what the author thought and experienced and intended? Or are you reading to better explore your own thoughts, perceptions, and interpretations?

I would say, porque no los dos?
yeah, there are a couple of up-and-coming tools that try to correlate product spec to tickets while maintaining a separation between the two

I briefly used Jira, but I couldn't handle the extreme slowness. You click something. Then you wait. And wait. And wait.
Having used classic for years before the NG switch I'd say classic was more stable and faster. Now I have extra clicks and broken JS features to work around.

Still both are huge and so configurable that saying one is familiar with JIRA is like saying one is familiar with C++ or Microsoft Word. Which begs the question, familiar with which parts and what versions?
Why go as far as functions, how about 0 and 1 . One is clearly the phallus to zeros's vagina. Can you not be more binary then that?
Let me just be the one to say that anyone who denies most men are sexual creatures who enjoy looking at naked women and tries to shame someone for stating that truth is incredibly cringeworthy, no matter the year.

It's working for me now. Maybe it was just down for a short period. I wasn't getting a response from the server at the time.
My initial thought is I'd rather just have a module that would find project-related .sql files and parse into named blocks based on the comments, treating them as named strings. No db entanglement required, just a simple way to organize queries in sql files. You would use it more like this:

import sqlite3
import project_queries as queries # a module that loads queries from local .sql files as strings in module namespace

conn = sqlite3.connect('myapp.db')

cursor = conn.cursor(queries.get_all_users)
# ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

users = cursor.fetchall()
# >>> [(1, "nackjicholson", "William", "Vaughn"), (2, "johndoe", "John", "Doe"), ...]

aiosql may add some features to help with passing values to the query. I see `^` used with `:users` in an example but don't quite get it.

-- name: get-user-by-username^

I often need to generate DDL details like table and column names in the query, which you don't want escaped, along with data like values and ids where you would want escaping (:users or %(users)s).

It works nicely to use string formatting (`CREATE TABLE {table_name} ...`) for DDL along with interpolation (`WHERE user_id IN %(user_ids)s`) in the same query.
> There's been a problem where people who want to try out GPT-3 try to get access to it through apps that use it. AI Dungeon deals with this a lot. OpenAI discourages direct user access to the prompt, and we've scaled back some of our features already to prevent unfettered access.

I find this incredibly frustrating as a user (of AI Dungeon at least). I'm always left wondering if my experience is being crippled by OpenAI's draconian requirement. Hopefully they relax that in the future once the API is out of beta.
You're assuming anything written in that article has even a passing relationship with the world of matter, rather than the delusional world of people who think Vox is something worth taking seriously.

Obviously nobody likes air pollution.
You can have competition or you can have simple, you can't have both.
True. Perhaps you can upload to a temporary folder first, rename the old production folder to something else, and rename the temporary folder to the normal production folder. You may serve a 404 error if someone manages to do a request between the two renaming operation but I'm sure it's fine.
Yes. NixOs uses the NiX package manager (that you can install in any other distro too).

The NiX package manager installs each version of a package to a directory, the trick being that each version of each package goes to a folder whose name is a hash of all the inputs of the build (files, build parameters, specific build folders of this builds dependencies, etc).

As a result, not only can you have different versions of a package: you can even have different builds of the same version (that you built with different build configuration and/or versiona of its dependencies).

The concept is sound. The issue is that you need the ability to actually build the application (you need the source) and you probably have to adjust its own build process to get it to work properly with NiX.

100%! People need to realize it's not their own wellbeing that they're protecting, but others' as well.
It is. The LO union members are the ones with the most to loose with a workforce surplus that comes with more immigration (really refugee asylum, traditional immigration is on about the same levels as ever). The Alliance (center-right, when it existed) recogniced this and made the traditionally left humanitarian stance their own. This backfired in a spectacular way when the alt-right wave swept the world. SD takes voters from both blocks.
Looks kinda nice, but can it handle "IN (...)" statements correctly? Or conditionally adding some WHERE param? If not, this is rather simplistic and couldn't replace writing inline queries, and then I think I'd rather not mix together 2 approaches.
did you make the mattress and bed frame site as well?
I have to wonder just how relevant all of this effort is anymore. They're talking about faster reads and saving space, but the savings is seven megabytes. And even then it comes at the cost of leaving dead space underneath your kernel space in main memory where the old compressed kernel used to be.

They're doing all of this on systems frequently running off of 16 or 32GB flash devices. The difference in cost between manufacturing a 16MB flash device and a 512MB flash device these days must be minuscule.
Thanks for the feedback. I disagree with your premise and your characterizations, but that's what opinions are for!
