I used meet.jit.si once but my own server mostly and I couldn't tell you the difference in user experience. Seemed exactly the same.

Video: The default install sets up for 720p. It seems to start notably worse and then scale up to 720p within a minute, often much less. Some congestion control thing I expect.

You can set 1080p or other (lower too) resolution limits if you like. I tried 1080p but at ~6-7Mbit per connection outgoing my home internet 18MBit upload got saturated pretty quick! The default 720p has worked ok for up to 6 people for a few hours at a time. 1 of the people was Europe-to-Australia and seemed like anyone else. No huge lag times but some lag as you'd expect from that distance.

Audio: I note this separately as it seems to be handled separately by Jitsi. We've noticed it seems to tick along pretty well the same the whole time, whether the video is going up or down in resolution due to congestion or not. Audio quality seems fine. The mic makes more difference in quality than the audio codec.

Apps: Have a requirement to go into setting and put the URL for your own server. Otherwise it defaults to the public one. Bit awkward. It seems to suck down a lot of battery but I haven't benchmarked it against anything else. Maybe this is normal for camera/compression/decompression/display/network all at the same time?!

Other niceties: can share desktop/application, has a text chat side option too, has "hand up" indicator if someone wants to indicate they wish to speak - not that we've ever used it.

All in all, it works well for home personal use with 6 people so far. Definitely handy to have and I intend to keep one running for the future. Being able to send a link to my friends and show them my desktop, or vice versa, is handy if nothing else.

Edit - added App section
The extreme rapid intensification over the last 24-36 hours is record setting I believe. And presently it is still strengthening and will potentially set many records - I suppose I shouldn't speak too soon with 'unprecedented' but all signs indicate this will be an extreme event.

It's frightening to think what the ultra low cost airlines would do with such video walls. I doubt it would involve showing the passing landscape but instead would be advertisements the entire flight.
RNN Part 1
Neural Nets
The advantage of neural nets i.e. the neurons connected to each other is that it can share and utilize previous information.
In a few previous posts, we learned forward pass is a function.
If you are dealing with Neural Nets basically we have several functions one after another which transform data. Each of these functions is a layer of the neural net. A computational graph is just a visual graph of the order of these functions.

I made a generator of Panamanian-sounding names by making a syllable based 2-gram analysis of all first and middle names registered in Panama until 2012. By increasing the weight given to likely syllable sequences you can make names sound more "normal", otherwise they get stranger, but still pronunceable and weirdly familiar to those who know the peculiarities of Caribbean naming.

I wish this problem would be more 'forefront' in legislation, because TBH this is already at the point of being ridiculous, completely out of touch and also FINANCIALLY DAMAGING to the customers and/or users.
I mean, a lot of programmers have spent their entire lives either using Emacs or vi keybindings. It's pretty unreasonable to ask them to change. Mentally switching to an entire different set of editing commands is incredibly difficult and time consuming. I've been using Emacs for over 15 years and I don't know any other keybindings. If I had to switch to vim, it might take me years to get comfortable.
MSLP = mean sea level pressure, lower means a stronger storm

SFMR = instrument to measure winds on the ground/ocean, which are usually weaker than at the plane's altitude

kts = knots = multiply by 1.15 to get wind speeds in miles per hour

dropsonde = thing they drop out of the plane to measure wind, temperature, and pressure at different altitudes as it falls

Here's how to read wind barbs: http://weather.rap.ucar.edu/info/about_windbarb.html
In such doomsday scenario and assuming no laws gets passed to change things the service providers (eg. Instagram, Uber, Doordash) can start charging iOS users more to adjust for this. This is already happening as the YT subscription shows.

That is, goods on Amazon, Uber rides, food prices all will be more expensive to iOS users and then maybe Instagram and TikTok can start charging iOS users $50/yr as well. At the end of the day a mobile platform needs third party services as much they need the platform otherwise Windows phone would've survived.

When I worked in ad tech I, I was tangentially a part of a project where we were working with a sister company to integrate in their app to enable data collection.

My work wished to use fine-grained location and there was concern that our integration and usage of the gps API's in an app that didn't otherwise have a good reason to use them would cause it to be rejected (apparently this had happened before). I don't know for certain whether this ended up being the case, but I would certainly believe it. If there was a 2nd App Store that didn't enforce standards in the same way as the Apple run-store, I absolutely believe ad-tech companies would go to lengths to push clients to using it so they could vacuum up more data.
Prediction:

It won't be like Chernobyl.
How do you program without any keybindings?
I was thinking primarily of the public education system (through high school). I think you are right that the university system is more sel-serving. However, even there I think it is mostly a servant of the neoliberal economic machine. The insane loans indenture the professional class to the banking class.
Wow, that declarative API seems really cool. Exactly what I've been looking for recently. Thanks for sharing it!
It's possible for developers to think they are shipping must-have features _and_ for users to see that as "messing up all my menus" and "disrupting my workflow".

Inevitably some users will complain about changes in every new update while others complain about a lack of eagerly awaited new features and bug fixes. You cannot make everyone happy :/

I'm sympathetic to the idea that workflow/ui changes should be explicit updates (or on beta opt-ins) with security/crash fixes being automatic. This model makes the most sense for professional tools that people make a living from (e.g. CAD). To be sustainable, software with multiple supported major versions will cost more.
It’s narrowly sparing Houston. The biggest risk to Houston at this point is probably mass power outages but even that is looking unlikely. Thousands of homes are likely to still be destroyed along the coast.

If the dice had rolled just slightly differently, tonight would have been a decade defining event as a major US city was destroyed. We just barely scraped by and avoided that fate.
Last I looked, 20mph winds and a 2 foot surge for Houston. That's basically "tropical storm".

Lake Charles is facing something much, much, worse.
Okay, I'll bite.

My partner and I lived in the US for 10 years, and decided to move back. We're very glad we did.

The US is much more competitive, I'll give you that, but it's not necessarily a good thing. I don't miss it. It's dog-eat-dog, every person for themselves.

I'm not sure how long you've lived in the US, but the first few years we were there were pretty peachy. But the problems just keep piling up.

I don't really have the patience to list everything, but the health care system _alone_ is reason enough to stick around in Canada. It's awesome. The US is a complete disaster. And I say this as someone who benefited from probably the best quality healthcare in the world during my time there.

Weird nitpick, but "No Makefiles required" is an odd selling point to me. I haven't seen or used a Makefile in eons, and I would wager a decent chunk of programmers never needed to.

I'm not sure how to describe the feeling this creates. Like...I can feel the authors other experiences shine through or something to that effect.

There was a talk awhile ago by John A. De Goes where he asserted roughly that Scala's then pitch of "combines object oriented and functional programming" was basically gobbledygook from the standpoint of "why would I use this language."

https://youtu.be/v8IQ-X2HkGE

I feel much the same way about Racket. Cool, very advanced DSLs and mini languages...what does that give me? What can I do with that?

Most of the page is dedicated to justifying "no wait everyone, we have the bare minimum number of libraries" or waxing poetic about the mini language concept.

What is the reason to use this over a less "lexically powerful" lisp like Clojure? What is the reason to use this over one of the boring old stalwarts like Java or Python?

Can I read from a Kafka queue? Can I call into AWS? Google Cloud? How strong are the libraries, and what would I have to commit to writing myself?

I actually do not understand why I would use Racket, and this page doesn't help.
running over anyone is tragic, and i'm not trying to make light of it, but that's the same misapplication of risk, fear, and bias that lead to security theater, housing crises and regulatory capture generally.

Well, in our case, the event generators are almost never CPU bound but the logstash nodes are. Generating a UUID (which is mostly just waiting for the kernel to hand you some bytes, which allows other threads time to do useful work) before sending has no opportunity cost and frees up the more-valuable logstash resources.

(These are micro-optimizations anyway.)

One thing which was a bit surprising was actually how small the whole craft is. Scroll down the page and they show a human for scale. Looks like you can barely stand up in the center of it. But I’m sure as a private craft they will come up with some incredible interior designs nonetheless.

I guess I don't know how much phone videos take up, but I know that when I was using my GoPro I was able to fill up several hundred GB in a few weeks. And that was with an ancient 720p one.

For photos, I suppose it would be good enough. Actually, perversely enough my phone does have unlimited data via its LTE connection. If only phones had the option to "download over cellular network only" instead of the reverse!

First tell how it works before asking for payment. Is it a chrome extension? Is it just a site that I have to paste urls into? Are you just indexing the pages or saving them for posterity?

There used to be a service similar to yours called furl. It didn't survive but it was immensely useful. I hope someone revives this idea and makes a viable business out of it. I'll pay.

Apple doesn't need me to carry water for them, but you're actually damaging the case for open hardware and software by carrying on like a porkchop because closed hardware and software is also available.

I claimed no such thing. Read my words directly and please don't put your own spin on them.

In a market where both options exist why should one change to be like the one you prefer?
The data join thing is interesting. I'd be curious about other future opportunities for d3 to sync up more with react. Posts like this [0] show that d3 can "just generate the path" and then at that point you can use different renderers like React e.g. return <path d={line(data)}/>. It is more limited doing it this way but more ties into the react model would be wonderful

Does anybody work on how to extract energy from hurricanes? A pretty powerful wind turbine...
Definitely some extraodinary claims that will require extraordinary evidence to prove. Especially getting 20+ mpg for 4500 miles, while flying at 450mph, which is near the top end of what piston/propeller aircraft are capable of. For reference, the P51 (one of the fastest fighters of WWII) had a comparable top speed. The Piaggio Avanti [0] has a somewhat similar design and top speed (460 high speed cruise), but has twin turboprops and a far shorter range and far lower claimed mpg.

Imagine that they upgrade the touch UI in your car, and it's a complete redesign, but only on one specific screen in a sub-sub-sub-menu which you usually only open while driving.

Now you are speeding with 150km/h down the highway and voila, the screen is gone (it's there in fact, but it's not the same screen any more).

Have fun poking with this new updated UI and workflow.

BTW, this example is exaggerated of course, but not completely unrealistic, and it's easy to find similarly disruptive situations triggered by a UI or workflow change.
> If you know how to program, and you can pony up $300 for the code signing certificate, chances are you probably already have the requisite identity paperwork.

At a sample size of one (me), this is false in 100% of cases. (To be fair, you did say "chances are" rather than "it is certainly the case that".)

> it's no big deal because lots of prominent software aren't signed (eg. 7zip, notepad++)

Sure, but that's a argument against code signing in general, not fees versus paperwork.
Maybe a bit too direct, but I 100% agree with this comment.
V* engines share a common crankshaft with both banks, that's the V part. Please cite any specific V12 aircraft engine that can have one bank of cylinders shut down. I don't believe one exists.
Yes, that's kind of the point - we're not saying that the new UI is worse, we really are saying that without a good reason/benefit, we don't like any change at all.

By default, changing the expected behavior is bad, there needs to be some benefit that justifies the change. It's not silly stubborness, it's pointing out that it is harmful and counterproductive to disrupt people's workflow. Variety is nice in food and entertainment, but in productive workflow predictability, reliability and lack of variety are very, very valuable. Saying "the new UI isn't worse" is not sufficient - is the new interface significantly better? Was the change required to enable something that I want which wasn't possible with the old interface? In that case, sure, make the changes - but not otherwise.

Every change in the interface that's not 100% backwards compatible incurs a nonzero cost, effort and inconvenience. Sure, people can and will adapt, but requiring them to adapt requires them to spend a scarce, valuable resource - attention. If a tool doesn't do the expected thing right away because it has changed, then it has failed, it has distracted the user at a time when they wanted to do something else instead of playing with the tool. That's the key difference between a toy and a tool; a toy is useful for it's own sake and should draw attention to it, while a tool is useful for doing particular things and must get out of the way, allowing the user to focus on the job or the product instead of the tool.

- Reasonable English corollary. (Doesn't have to be 1:1.)

- English-pronounceable Cantonese romanization.

- English-pronounceable Mandarin romanization.

- Doesn't diverge too much between the three.

- Characters that are identical in Traditional and Simplified.

- Pleasing to the relatives.
There's no such thing as "unnecessary" in an absolute sense. The question is "unnnecessary" to who.

"Unnecessary" decorations are necessary if you want something to stand out. If you don't want your house to look like your neighbor's, you're going to make "unnecessary" changes to it. Paint rooms different colors. Use different furniture. All unnecessary changes... if you don't care about them.

You seem to adopt the somewhat naive functionalist/minimalist philosophy that you can find in early modernist thought (e.g. Loos in "Ornament and Crime" [0]).

What those thinkers missed is that beauty and aesthetics are a function too.

Top tax bracket in BC is 53.5%. (The "proposed new tax bracket" is happening.)

Sales tax is 12% (5% federal, 7% provincial) on most products; basic groceries and rent are the most significant exemptions. Federal payroll taxes are 10.2% (pension) + 3.8% (unemployment) on the first ~$55k. BC has a 1.95% payroll tax (nominally earmarked for health care) with a small-business exemption.

Well then for people using the previous version of the interface, updates still force them onto a different interface.
Can someone enlighten me as to the advantage of sticking with Mercurial? I've tried hg many times and personally found nothing compelling about it compared to git workflows.

Git is ubiquitous, there's no really important feature set that hg offers over git, and it's super trivial to convert repos from hg -> git. So why go through this effort?

Note: I'm not trying to start a flamewar; genuinely curious.
It's still a GA aircraft though... so you still have to deal with all the BS. If you don't own it yourself then you need to pay a pilot (though with the recent downturn there's no shortage of pilots). There is absolutely no way many people will try and get their pilot's license. The FAA written test for a PPL may be easy compared to IR but it's still not a walk in the park. The checkrides are very strict nowadays too.

So if you're paying a pilot, FBO costs (or dealing with a commercial operator of the planes), etc. at the end of the day it's never going to be as cheap as commercial airlines. This certainly would make it affordable. But not that affordable.
I'm wondering if we are going to see NFS-over-QUIC.

I wish Winrar licensing worked differently. If I could buy a license and get a permanent key to save to my email or a text file I'd gladly spend the $20, but buying a separate license for every computer is just too much mental labor to keep up with when it works fine for free.
