If you're a 30 minute drive away from a park it must be extremely urban and therefore expensive. It might be cheaper to move somewhere suburban or go completely nomadic. You may not get a chance to see the Grand Canyon or other national parks anytime soon if you're moving to Japan, so now might be a very good time.

Google searches for mountain view CA apartment rents as an example of hyper dense urban life far from green areas seem to indicate $2K to $6K/month is quite reasonable. Similar google searches for rural Wisconsin cabins indicate a thousand bucks per week will get a cabin on a lake in the woods with a pontoon boat, wet bar, and hot tub. You don't have to worry about your schedule if your closest neighbor is a quarter mile away. Internet might or might not be a problem.

The problem with spending a couple months at some New Orleans bed and breakfasts is you'd be close enough to be reminded everything is shut down, and noise level. Might be easier to stick with rural retreats and adventures.

The united states lighthouse association website lists rentable lighthouses if you really want to get away from it all. Again, internet via satellite may or may not be a problem. The entire lighthouse on Charity Island in Michigan can be rented for not too much more than a Mountain View apartment.

You could do a very small house boat on a lake for $4K to $6K per month off season. There is no shortage of houseboat rentals and lakes and parks to visit. Could try the mississippi river...

In all fairness I did spend yesterday in a park shelter at a county park with excellent wireless working away in 70 degree breezes, but there are many days when it rains or its 100 or 0.

No idea. Sounds awesome. Might be a higher quality probe, or one designed with low drift rate in mind, given its marketed as an industrial probe. That length doesn't specify how much drift is expected, so it's unclear what tolerances that has in mind.
The Republicans and the Administration are pissed because they ordered the military to break the black lives matters protests and the army told them to get stuffed. So they are throwing a tantrum because they always assumed they'd have the army to back them up and it turns out they don't.

Great quote. Aside: I thought it originated from John Keynes, but it looks like that earliest written record goes back to 1983 to a financial analyst named Gary Shilling:

"Addendum: A small number of libraries apparently hold a transcript from a 1983 seminar during which Shilling reportedly employed the adage."
Unless their position is "all countries equally violate human rights", they should minimize their footprint in countries with egregious human rights violations. They get to decide which countries go onto that list. Maybe they think China has an excellent record, or is no worse than others. If so, let them state that.

The thing is, there's less air for the blades to move, but there's also less drag on the blades for the same reason, so they spin faster with the same power input. This ends up cancelling out the loss of lift, meaning that the performance stays roughly constant with altitude until it is high enough that the blade tips start to approach the speed of sound.

I'm trying to think of areas of software that still have UIs that match this type of non-uniformity and creativity and can't think of very many.

The only one that immediately comes to mind is GPU overclocking software on Windows ala https://www.evga.com/precisionx1/
Of those listed, only AppImage is as easy to publish and install as your average Windows software (Flatpak is a not-so-close second with significantly more limitations). And then you get prominent FOSS developers like Drew DeVault saying that those distribution methods are terrible ideas because they are dangerous. The way things work in the Linux Desktop and its community are just not conducive to simply passing around software without middlemen the way it has been in real personal computing systems since the 80s.
The north wasn't a "free market economy". It was a protectionist economy rife with tariffs.

As a matter of fact, it was the south that wanted a "free market" economy. They wanted little to no tariffs so that britain/europe would open their markets to their cotton/agricultural goods.

I once sat down to a $2/$4 limit poker game in Vegas. The limit was so low that you knew a maxed pot was unlikely to ever bankrupt you. It’s meant to be for amateurs without much cash for gambling (me).

Some guy at the table had figured out that with enough cash you can just max every bet and let the odds dictate his results. Because other players were folding based on the quality of their hand, they were missing opportunities to hit on the river which he got. This devolved the game from reading your opponent to reading the inherent odds of card hits.

It’s not the exact same game, but when I think about the market being irrational, I think about that guy. He made the game inherently irrational. EDIT: or, at least, he played it irrationally, causing the usual signals to be removed from play.

The table beat him, but since he forced the game into playing the odds, the only effective strategy was to play conservatively. There was no point in trying to read his hand or bluff him.
Isn't this considered market manipulation?

Alternatively, data could be considered not to exist until it is collected. In this way Larry is neither stealing it nor are you giving it. I personally find this interpretation more compelling. Otherwise you'd get weird conclusions, like Darwin stealing evolution from nature, rather than being the creator of the idea and the data that supports it.
This is not quite the "world wide web" we signed up for, but its definitely the one we got, LOL.
I'm talking about ad-hoc polymorphism, for example, in Java it would be interfaces and interface inheritance.

I believe in OO this concept comes from Self from 1987, where they first implemented Traits. In Standard ML TypeClasses were introduced in 1988 I believe. So it actually seems that OO would have had a form of ad-hoc polymorphism before ML. Now I don't want to debate where the ideas came from, I'm trying to say the "camps" are stereotyping which shouldn't be brought up in a technical conversation. Traits and TypeClasses share the same fundamental idea and purpose, and Haskell TypeClasses is its own variant of that idea, which is slightly different to Standard ML TypeClasses as well, and to how other FP languages do ad-hoc polymorphism, and in OO languages there are many variant on that idea as well.
>Is this the right thing to do? Is this something you should be doing? Is this something you feel you have the right to do?

Some philosophers (like Max Stirner) would argue that not only are those questions irrelevant, but that their whole basis (morality and right) are categories which become real and exert their influence only due to our own reification of them. That is to say, to someone unconvinced of morality (and in particular what other people say about morality), and further unconvinced by the legitimacy of the state and its opposition to the individual, the questions would be laughable if only it weren't so tragic that to many they extert their control over us and we let them.
The problem is if you don't know about a lot of SQL complexity and you are not aware of you not knowing it really easy to end up with a major problem with "corrupted" (here incorrect) data while the main reason which is often cited for RDB is to prevent exactly that.

This can easily lead to an situation where people (wrongly) come to the conclusion that RDBs don't work anyway and they should just go to NoSQL DBs as it's "just easier" to not have to handle a scheme.

Which yes is completely flawed as a argument as doing NoSQL without any implicitly schema can bit you very hard and you still want to do transactions but now your DBMS might not support the transactions you need (instead of you just doing them incorrectly) so you "somehow" bolt them on top of it and if it fails now it's "clearly your fault". Except there is a good chance it isn't as some NoSQL DBMS are much more tricky to handle then they seem (like Mongo not necessary keeping to the Durability part in ACID |EDIT: In the past I don't know about now).

I have seen this fallacy or parts of it more then one time both in "real live" and comments on Hacker News.
Interacting with traders would have broken you of that illusion too. Professional traders are much more prone to group think than they’ll ever admit to, which occasionally causes the market to do sub-optimal things.
The article seems fine and it's good security advice. It's absolutely right that quite many developers constantly download and run hundreds of unverified 3rd party programs.
> Why would I be upset that that some teen or 20-something, who primarily uses the internet to post and browse selfies on social media, does so from a phone rather than a IBM/Lenovo ThinkPad? Their main use case is Instagram or TikTok. A ThinkPad makes no sense for them. But I can still buy one.

The point is that the structure of the contemporary internet has caused their use case to be what you stated it is. What used to be a plethora of possibilities is now a small number of tailored experiences, and this is directly because of the heavy centralization of the internet.

You commented about OP's mention of rust but I'm curious to hear about your thoughts on DHT. The internet could entirely be supported by p2p infrastructure and maintain all the aforementioned properties, yet the predominant connotation of p2p is piracy. This is a more nuanced discussion than you give it credit for.
I think Satoshi is Craig Wright like it or not. I did some research on Craig's historical writings and I compared it to Satoshi and I found many similarities between them. I will publish my research when I get more time.

I did my research as a historian would do so I started from the basics and the first clue was Satoshi used perfect British English so most likely he is not American like some people imply. And why an American would link to British daily national newspaper cover like Satoshi did in Genesis Block?[1][2]

I don't think that my performance reviews have been a question of whether I'm doing a good job or not, it's always been more about if the employer agrees that I've spent my time wisely and do they appreciate what I'm doing.

In Finnish performance reviews roughly translate to "Development discussion" and in my experience that's exactly the case as well. I've spent most of the time in my reviews talking about my boss about how the company can support me better and how I can achieve personal goals (raise, titles etc) and what I'd need to do.
I'd give it a few weeks, should be able to get one used around $200 after the rtx 3000 availability shakes out. A GTX 1080 is around the same performance and pricing will be a little lower even.

Since January it's been pretty stable, I've been on the beta kernel releases though.. when say 20.10 ubuntu and derivatives drop, should be using a kernel that's stable for the 5700xt.

I've been working more on my Windows drive, using WSL2 + Docker Desktop (wsl2 option) for the past few months though, which I've been surprisingly happy with.
I think people take some facebook tongue in cheek too literally. It is like when soccer fans chant songs about the referee mum's occupation, they don't really mean it literally but they do mean to show dissatisfaction with the referee decisions. Same thing goes for all those Q anon theories or similiar ideas, most people know they are not true literally but it just shows dissatisfaction with certain politics of the left side of the political map and the hypocrisy of it all.
Perhaps its not a web of lies and this situation really is hurting this persons career? I think it's usually a good idea to assume that there isn't a large misinformation campaign going on.

So, I don't have much else to add to the discussion, apart from that my company is located in a co-working space in Guildford, in an office one floor directly below where the Bullfrog offices moved after Populous. We do have their original floormat [0], and a lot of stories, courtesy of the original Glenn Corpes who worked on the artwork for that game.

Looking at the 0.1 code he comes around as a C++ hobbyists, not a professional.
He did kind of suggest that it'd be okay to just dump it in the ocean, which would be a terrible idea.
I don't think I'm underdoing it at all. I'm assigning a reasonable level of impressiveness to it. It's cool, it's got a lot of parameters, and it's flexible in very interesting ways. But... am I "shocked" when I look at the output? Not even close. It's about what I would have expected if I threw a few million dollars at training a 175 billion parameter model.

Edit: after reading a few more comments, I concede that I may be ever so slightly underdoing it :)
You've reinvented "open proxy" spam. Well done!
A quick check on reelgood:

Arctic Air - Arctic Air Season 1 is not streaming nor available to rent or purchase.

jPod - jPod Season 1 is not streaming nor available to rent or purchase.

Being Erica - List several streaming services that have it, including Pluto TV, which is free/ad supported.

So three Canadian tv shows off the top of my head and there's only a 33% hit rate. That's not very good.
> Why don't you know whether or not that tuple is in the relation before you start?

... because that requires a redundant query, its associate lookup cost, and in order to be sure that tuple wasn't added or removed between the time your check and the insert/update executes, either a write lock on the table or on the row itself (if it exists).

"Blind" inserts are the right way to go IMO.
There is also the other (more important than opensource) kool-aid about how "green" Apple is. Meanwhile they're choking the repair industry which is reducing the e-waste on our planet. And they give themselves a gold star on their so called "report card" on the environmental impact of their products. The irony..
I hadn’t forgotten about Internet Explorer. But in fairness, Linux wasn’t really quite ready as a primary OS until around the time kHTML and Gecko became good enough most of the time. Plus Opera was free from 2000 too. Before then Internet Explorer was actually the better browser, as painful as it is to write that. I did also occasionally use a browser I’d written myself too (because that was semi-possible with Web 1.0 standards).

I also used to use an IRC client I’d written myself.

The more annoying walled garden was Windows itself. The 80s and early 90s has such variety then Windows dominated. If there’s one thing that’s better today its that applications are now platform agnostic just so long as Blink/WebKit/Gecko runs on it. So Linux is as much a first class citizen as Windows and macOS.

I picked this sensor somewhat randomly on Aliexpress and it seems to work well (with calibration on both, tracks closely to my commercial Nutra-Dip Trimeter).

For hydroponics (where 0.1 pH is plenty of precision and pH range should be inside 5-8), I was quite happy with the $14 version below.

No one has any delusions as to how broken it is. The stock market is a racket to make those with wealth and power more wealthy and powerful.

Yeah, I'm hoping they're more stable out of the gate... from October through early January the navi cards were problematic to say the least.

Kind of works in kernel, update breaks it, switch distros to supported distro, load official driver package, update breaks it... switch to beta/bleeding kernel, graphics work, but kvm/virtualbox completely borked. I may do a clean install with PopOS 20.10 when it drops, which should be well supported in kernel and get virtualization support back in the box.
fb2k always seemed so cool, and I used it for a while during the bad years of winamp, but it definitely had that "useless by default" feel to me. Like it's cool that you can map global hotkeys, can you please default to supporting my keyboards quite standard media keys.

> Blacks (and other minorities) in the US are policed more aggressively than Whites. This is a fact, and I don’t know anyone who would disagree with it.

Many actual black people, for one:

> When asked whether they want the police to spend more time, the same amount of time or less time than they currently do in their area, most Black Americans -- 61% -- want the police presence to remain the same. This is similar to the 67% of all U.S. adults preferring the status quo, including 71% of White Americans.

> Meanwhile, nearly equal proportions of Black Americans say they would like the police to spend more time in their area (20%) as say they'd like them to spend less time there (19%).

In practice, these conflicts can happen quite often during data synchronization. Say someone uploads a list of inventory, keyed by ITEM_ID. You want all your items to be either added (new) or modified (previously existing.) You could loop through them one-by-one, or you can just let the database handle it with a bulk upsert.
I don't think anyone would say that a lot of industrial processes aren't extremely toxic and dangerous. The question was asked due to the downplaying of the dangers of nuclear waste. Just because something like dimethylmercury is possibly more toxic than radioactive waste, doesn't mean radioactive waste is safe, or that you want to be near it.
I'm finally looking forward to being able to unlock the iPhone, being able to ssh into it and being able to install features and widgets that aren't just Apple provided.

Hopefully this allow more companies to then allow sideloading of their apps without the stupid app store. Software delivery has worked perfectly fine on PCs for decades. It's time the phones joined in.
Funny think, I had the same issue just now.

I did know all the important thinks it stands for but not the exact definition. But I think the he/she meant that people didn't understand ACID and not that they didn't know the exact definition.

EDIT:

I would never expect someone to know the exact definition of ACID or SOLID or similar. But if they have a lot of experience with db they should always know the ideas behind it and even if they are not an expert (but will have to write SQL) I would expect them to know what problems rough to look out for and when they should make sure they are currently not running into such an problem by e.g. checking the postgres documentation. It's good.

Interesting, I find most videos and the pace of content too slow. If the playback speed setting was not available, Youtube would be borderline painful to use as a learning platform.

What bothers me is that most other instructional videos (outside of Youtube) never have a playback speed option, especially corporate training & overview videos.
It's certainly not jus sql server. The implementor of INSERT…ON CONFLICT UPDATE in Postgres considered and rejected MERGE[0] on grounds that it's simply not specified to do what people generally want

> MERGE, as implemented within other major systems and as described by the SQL standard does not require an atomic insert-or-update for even the simplest possible case of OLTP style insert-or-update.

> SQL MERGE as implemented within other systems doesn't require that a unique index be defined on the column or columns of the MERGE statement's outer join. I am not enthusiastic about the idea of falling back to table-level locking when an appropriate index isn't available. That could be a foot-gun for the large majority of users that just want to solve their basic insert-or-update problem.

A MERGE patch was submitted for pg11, it got bumped multiple time and returned with comments early 2019 with no visible activity since.

Offhand thought is there are two ways to skin the cat vs safety.

Go and Rust put hard limits on what will compile and especially rust run a whole bunch of checks to enforce book keeping.

In C if you are doing things right you run those checks as a separate process. And you only do it once you are done with a dev cycle, not every time you compile the program.

With the way the market moved last few weeks (especially AAPL and TSLA), you could be forgiven to think the Robinhood effect was real. Especially when people like Matt Levine and even WSJ starts talking about it. People working from home, nowhere to spend money, seeing market news everyday and then jumping on to the most popular app to trade - all very believable for an unsophisticated "investor" like me.

I remember seeing a post on r/options this week about exactly this - large volume OTM calls causing MMs to buy stock and inflate price. This news has been very interesting in light of that.
