Before continuing to participate in this discussion, I'm curious as to the character of person I'm discussing with, how many years have you,

- used an iPhone as your primary device?

- used an Android as your primary device?

- played Fortnite, and on what device?

For me it was 6 years of Android before switching to an iPhone for the last 4 years. I've been playing a lot of Fortnite (less during the waterworld season) on a PS4 over the last 11 months.

Rationale:

Especially because you're arguing for sideloading and Android already allows that, yet Epic is still suing Google. I ask because when you keep saying you're arguing "for customers" and "pro-competition".

I'm just wondering what background experience you have with all of these different companies and platforms that helps you judge what is best "for competition and the customer".
When you get past the layers of old and dead documentation around it, the eBPF subsystem is fairly easy to target as long as you can call C, topologically at least.

Fair enough, I don't have the time anymore myself. College and my mid-20s were the best time to do all of those things. Now that I'm approaching 40 I have very little time and have to be more selective in how much time I dedicate to these kinds of resources.

I actually started working through TAOCP one summer during a very boring sys admin job. I couldn't actually change the system to improve it, just complete whatever tasks were given to me and help customers. Maybe 1-3 hours a day of actual work effort. And in the pre-smart phone days, a book was easy to work through without distractions until the next ring of a phone call or ding of an email.
Thing is, Dune is literally a book about religious extremism, it is one of it's most important themes.

So changing this term gets massive thumbs down from me.
> That's like saying that we shouldn't read books on the beach.

It's nothing like that. People do read books outside. They don't use laptops outside. (Statistically speaking.) "Meeting people where they are" means two very different things in those different contexts.

> reflective screens usually don't have good colors

Yes, you have to pick your tradeoffs. If you want an outdoor-viewable screen, that will probably mean some sacrifice in refresh time, resolution and/or color gamut. This is why the only place you do find reflective screens is dedicated e-book readers. Brighter transmissive screens are not a solution in this problem space, so this use case does not justify them.
Lua is the most common language I had never heard about before dealing with BPF. It gets embedded in a surprising array of technologies.
You don't play a long-form game in one sitting.

Take "Axis and Allies", a long-form boardgame that typically takes ~12 hours to play in my experience. I usually play it broken up between three different weekends when I whip it out.

There's been a renaissance of long-form games recently. D&D is the most popular (5th edition. Pathfinder, Etc. etc.), but also Gloomhaven, and other "Legacy" games.

I do realize that long-form games aren't in everyone's cup of tea. But its no different from say... trying to watch Game of Thrones together with a group (or Sports-ball games). Its an excuse to form a regular social gathering with your group of friends once-a-week for months (or years) at a time.

The secret to long-form games is that the group-gathering is the primary goal, the gameplay is almost secondary. But having a good game helps (much like how a Game of Thrones watch party is better while the show is good).
I didn't really agree with the top level comment either. This isn't an artifact of sensor size or A/D conversion or any of that. You can encounter the exact same issue with a $40,000 medium format camera if you don't understand photography.

What's worse, the article's author never mentions the settings used while taking pictures with his Canon DSLR. The entire article is poorly informed, detail starved, click-bait garbage for the photographically and technologically ignorant. The replies to it are disappointingly similar.
I don't think they have results. It looks like they are regularly scraping sites and looking for diffs across users. So you can say what the test was, how long it ran for roughly, and whether they kept or rejected it, but you have no way of knowing what the quantitative results are (aside from whatever inferences you can make from estimating the tested _n_ and then assuming they are using an efficient testing procedure with optional stopping / bandits plus the final choice to infer upper/lower bounds on the effect size).
The author doesn't show any ways in which docker is harmful. His entire argument seems to be "you can do docker without docker by using the appropriate system calls". But why would I? Docker makes it way easier and has a ton of value-adds like compose, the hub, the layering mechanism etc.
Mid-roll ads on Youtube require a minimum length of 8 minutes. So if you're making videos shorter than that you're losing a monetization opportunity.
Unfortunately, warrants aren't a sufficient safeguard against abuse of technology. Law enforcement is well known to use evidence laundering techniques to work around procedural safeguards.

NIH and others have recommendations that may help. I would also suggest seeing a specialist ASAP. A career may last a few decades but your body is for life.
iANAL, but I would imagine local laws are applied locally.

For example, I can buy an AR-15 without a pistol grip in California, travel to any free state and attach a pistol grip to that rifle. Doing that I would not violate California law, even though AR-15 with pistol grip is illegal in CA.
Self-isolating when you have a cold has never been a standard thing to do in the united states.
I don't think the guy didn't speak English, I think he was too rude or indifferent to bother offering customer support in English at that moment. You see this in Austria also if you try to get customer support over the phone in English, since lots of employees are stressed from this kind of job so some will just not bother with you with a not my job, I don't get paid to be a translator attitude if you ask in English.
I'm not a C/C++ developer, but I spend most of my time in Emacs. Most of my development time is spent in Python, and Emacs serves as an excellent IDE for the language.

However, that in itself is not my reason for preferring Emacs. It's also my markdown editor, often my file manager, my PDF viewer, my image viewer, my git interface, IRC client, email client... I could go on, but I'll stop there.

Emacs is not and has never been an IDE, it's a highly versatile and extensible text-editor. You can't compare apples and oranges.
Running 2 sites that use ASP.NET Webforms (in case you don’t know it, an 18-year-old technology that has a lot of problems and only runs on .NET Framework). I don’t think it’s a good fit for Caddy ;)
Or, perhaps, he didn't want to pay for a video generator IC like a 9918 or 6845.

If you look at the video generation circuit on an Apple ][ it's all done in real-time in TTL, alongside the DRAM refresh activity. And it's all crammed into the normally unused tock of the 6502, making this work with virtually zero overhead on the CPU. That's the reason why the memory mapping of the screen isn't linear to the physical display. The software tradeoff was cheaper than the hardware one.

You mean we should not use the j-word for a destructive religious war because it can offend some extremists?
still could call it that

Either way, there will be some of us asking, "wut?"
Agreed, when I read that line I found myself saying it out loud wondering if it was a typo.

`favorite_color = red' == "Favorite Color is Red"

Which feels more natural than: "Red is Favorite Color"
"They're called". You can't even get your insult right in text?

>Everything has an impact on the ecosystem, is your point that nuclear has less of an impact than solar?

Yes. That was my point. Much less.

The other argument I would make is I'm not seeing any evidence that solar actually solves any problem for us. It can't replace fossil fuels, and in fact needs fossil fuel back-up because there is no battery technology (today or upcoming) that can store enough energy to, say, power a city overnight. The global population continues to grow and with it energy needs. Worse, energy/capita is also growing. This means that as bad as solar is today on the environment, it is only going to get worse.

What I really wish was that Youtube would show me videos related to the video I'm currently watching, not just related to my general watching history.
Bummer, he pretty much proved he was on the right path with his translation theories. Maybe this was done to protect his work? As in, hes now working to complete the translation and did not want others to beat him to it. One can hope...
In the enthusiast community, I've seen reference to 'pixels per degree' to define fidelity.

This changes a bit based on how close the eye is to the lens/screen, but is a useful general measurement that also takes into account lens effects.
I think people are too quick to declare v1. All of my modules are (deliberately!) v0 because v1 means "I commit to never breaking this API." Most Go modules should be v0.year.minor, eg v0.20.5 for the fifth release this year. You should only be using v1 if you have a lot of users, a set of core maintainers, etc. etc.

Congratulations Matt! Big fans of Caddy here at Narration Box. The reverse proxy setup and strong defaults are unmatched and are a joy to use. My favourite feature is the Cloudflare Let's Encrypt DNS-01 challenge integration, it makes adding TLS to internal networks a lot easier for devices like the iPhone/iPad where the cert store is heavily locked down.
For 1. Cheaper if you buy in bulk. You could have mentioned that.
> What part of YouTube incentivizes this?

Advertising placements. If a video is longer than eight minutes (formerly ten minutes), it's eligible for "midroll" ads and will earn the creator more money.
I don't mind the length, but I think a lot of things are tedious and worth streamlining. Two that immediately jump to mind:

Worker micro is not very fun to me, I don't like the Civ 6 system. At least in Civ 5 they didn't have limited uses and could be automated.

The biggest thing is combat. It's mind-numbing having to move all the units and work out the positioning. It's so _slow_ both in real-time and game-time (should it take decades to move across the empire?). Maybe my roleplaying perspective is flawed, but if I'm supposedly the leader of the nation, why do I have to micromanage army tactics? Ideally a lot of that would be abstracted away
Actually, the very first Apple IIs only supported 4 colors in hi-res mode. The 8th bit was ignored.

A later revision added support for 6 colors, using the 8th bit to shift the pixels and change the pallet.
> math tutor ... angry

It's not the same language, so why should he expect the semantics to be the same?
The '90s were full of ballyhoo about object orientation and "soon we'll be bolting together software with off-the-shelf components."

Thanks to the failure to standardize C++ ABIs (among other reasons) that didn't happen... except for VBXs. You really could throw together a CRUD app pretty quickly with off-the-shelf VBX controls.
Oh totally in team slacks, I'm talking more about the "do this as soon as you wake up" DM you types, usually the "Hey.."'ers.
It's quite possible it is a hoax intended to get a interested buyer to buy the book. If Rudolf II owned it, it's likely he payed a lot to get it. It wouldn't be a first forgery/hoax.
Saying it "has tracking" is a bit of a stretch, given that the tracking isn't a feature of the headset, but rather a separate system that can theoretically work with any other non-tracking headsets.

The way I see it, Docker adds complexity. The more your systems are complex the more brittle they are.
That's actually not a login but a signup form. More people will probably enter anything at all with only one field showing. And since they've already interacted with the site, they might feel inclined to complete the process even after they find out it's multi-step. Some will of course bounce because of it, but it should be net positive overall.
Yeah, I got that impression too.

The value of Docker for me is the ecosystem, not the technical implementation.
> Further, there's no trade-offs: Iron swords are better than bronze, and never you mind that common iron is worse than bronze; unless you have truly outstanding Damascus steel, you're using sponge iron at best.

In civ 4, there was a tradeoff, bronze enabled ax warriors while iron enabled swordsman. Ax warriors were weaker than swordsman, but they received a bonus again melee units, ensuring they'd win a battle against swordsman.
Fewer and fewer people value sharing and selflessness and teach it to their kids, and more and more are teaching that the world is a giant capitalist slugfest and you need to take what you can. When I was a kid my parents (like a lot of us) taught me to share and play fair and give others their turns. Not so much of this is in vogue anymore.

I'll never forget once taking my kid to the park before corona and observing this directly. A little kid (4 or 5 or so) was crying to his mom within earshot. He was upset that he got off the swingset and then some other kid got on it. This could have been a teachable moment, but instead the mom said something to the effect of "You have to stay on it and keep it for yourself! Next time you want to take a break, call me over and I'll sit on the swing until you're ready to play on it again."

This whole attitude is everywhere now. You see it in politics, you see it at work, you see it in the grocery store.
Articles like this are excellent for learning how something is fundamentally implemented, if you are willing to ignore the original intent, which is to discourage people from using the resulting abstraction. I feel sad at how it comes across as angrily reductionist ("it's just X + Y + Z!")...totally missing how the result is more than the sum of its parts.

Docker is a win because they have mainstreamed self-contained, "vm-like" applications that achieve native performance. The collective developer mind can now neatly wrap up the idea of an application into an execution environment that can be easily shared and distributed.

But again, these posts are useful because in the reductionist ranting, the author often lifts the curtain on how these abstractions really work, and that alone is useful to teach.
One of Civ's only sins was misspelling Mohandas Gandhi.

It's not "Ghandi".
Great, and congrats again on the arrangement. Definitely more sustainable.
BECAUSE STEVE LOVED TO YELL!!!!!
who cares when it saves days by the dozens. Even if docker burned all the hard drive in my home right now for some reason, the amount of time gained when I get an user reporting a bug on $OLD_UBUNTU where I can just run `docker run -it ubuntu:14.04` and start reproducing in a couple seconds, that would still be worth it.
> Besides if I understand correctly, Metamath, was used as the "ground truth" for evaluation and testing of the trained language model and the language model didn't get anywhere near 100% performance, meaning it's far behind the ability of Metamath in automated theorem proving.

I'm new to this but wiki says Metamath refers to language + proof checker. It doesn't refer do a method of proof search right? Isn't it just a database of proofs? I'm confused.

Can you please shine light on traditional approaches that are better than DL approaches at proof search? And on how the setting they are evaluated in is different from the evaluation setting in this paper?
Conspiracy Theories Are Shaping the 2020 Election
I spent some time working for a company in this exact space. My recommendation would be to integrate a 3rd party accounting/ledger management product rather than building your own. That stuff gets messy real quick and next thing you know you're dealing with accounting more than actually improving your core value offerings.
Or specific uses (someone else thread mentioned image rendering; I really like the sixel terminal in gnuplot to eyeball stuff from a server without bothering with X; there are plenty other uses for high-resolution full rgb graphics in a terminal).
that's why having a coding style guide is important and to lint it every commit.
In my lived experience at GitLab, leaders can deliver results through efficient communication that enables others to do their jobs successfully (rather than waiting hours to respond to messages), helping team members iterate on the scope of projects to ensure progress is made on goals, and modeling our company values which helps others better understand the values and incorporate them into their work.

I think we used to call that a 'binary', but I'm old.
I'm already counting the seconds until somebody links to "the Dropbox comment".

Seems to hit a very similar mark.
I've tried to get into CK three times and I just don't get it. I love all the other paradox games (well, except stellaris, scifi setting is not my cup of tea). I love EU4 because it's a strategy game, where I can replay history and explore alternative paths. But with CK2 and CK3 now it's just not clicking for me. Why should I care about my in-game brother's wife's fictional son?
I have to admit that I was little joking about this. But I do think it is possible to specify an implementation of how a complex operation can be achieve by combining more primitive operations. With digital computers, data is usually represented by certain representation of bits. An operation is usually defined on these kind of representation. Think for example of an operation for adding two numbers in a certain representation, resulting in a result with a certain representation. In computers, two most primitive adding operations are usually adding modulo some power of 2. But with these, we can implement adding for much large numbers (also using other kinds of operations and/or intermediate storage).
Yeah, I can agree with that. Before I got into photography I believed the same thing. In fact I was driven to it by the disparities in my own images when compared to professional examples.

The reason this article is so frustrating to me is that instead of the author highlighting what has been true since the dawn of photography - that cameras never truly capture the scene as we view it - they chose to baselessly attack a specific set of devices which happen to have cameras attached to them.

If this were to happen 10 years ago to someone using a Nikon Coolpix 1234Whatever, they would be equally disappointed, and someone using an Olympus Stylus somethingorotherD may have been very pleased. The color representation in images has always been the property of the medium's manufacturer, from Kodak to Polaroid and so on.

It would have been nice to see the author share information instead of just ignorant disappointment
Yes, with the brightly-lit white undersides of the awnings.
Run Emacs as a server. You can kill the client accidentally, then just load another client instantly and carry on from where you left off.
I am not sure how much of this technique can be used elsewhere for legitimate purposes.

In this example, except for an administrator spying on other users on a shared machine, which is kind of already an admitted risk by users on a shared machine anyway.
It could be a check for the lack of an interface rather than not null.
Things I've been sent by TikTok in the last few days:

* Cockpit walkthroughs by professional airline pilots

* A first-person plane crash and water evacuation that I had somehow missed from 2014 (and was very interested to see)

* Music theory videos explaining how current pop songs work

* Baking videos explaining how to make things I'd never thought of before

* Dermatology video showing laser skin retexturing in action (its amazing to see, not what I expected); helped me discover a new podcast that I now really enjoy

* Linguistic analysis of English and how certain grammar rules came to be

* A PSA about melatonin dosage (I already knew but discovered recently that most supplements are dosed too high)

* HIIT cardio routines you can do at home

* Planet Money TikTok (actually very solid and educational - e.g. economics of horror movie creation)

I think the site you're talking about is YouTube, which does in fact repeatedly show nonsense and never figures out how wrong it is.
That’s rubocop’s raison d’etre. I like that you can be completely free exploring with code in the style you like, and “button up” when it needs to become shipping/shared code.
1440x1440 is 2k, as is 2048×1080. It refers to the total number of pixels.

4K is 3840X2160, but you wouldn’t be wrong to call 2048x2048 4K, especially in a VR display where you have two displays, doubling width, and in the end what matters is pixel density.
Indeed. And a great use of the .sexy TLD.
The complainant contradicted the statements of several witnesses as well as the early versions of the video I saw about the order of events of the shooting itself (although I don't have a full copy of the video file submitted to the court with the warrant application, so that determination is tentative).

Reinoehl's presence in the garage does not seem to me to meet any definition of 'lying in wait', since he had no prior knowledge of anyone coming that way, and indeed Danielson (the shooting victim) and Pappas (his buddy) did not go in that direction. As documented, Reinoehl looked over his shoulder, appeared to notice the two men walking behind him, and entered the garage where he paused briefly and seemed to draw his weapon. It is just as easily argued that he took cover out of anxiety that he was being followed, and then exited the garage after assuring himself that he had access to the weapon. You will recall that the same photographs you cite seem to show Danielson holding a large canister of pepper spray and a baton in his hands (documented on p17).

Lying in wait is an aggravating factor demonstrating a murder's prior intent to assail an unwary victim. Ducking out of sight and readying a weapon might be a very reasonable thing to do if you discovered you were being followed by a person bearing two weapons.

A trial would have looked into what interactions those parties had earlier in the day, and the exact sequence of events around the shooting, ie who approached who and whether Reinoehl shot Danielson first or whether the shooting was a response to Danielson spraying Reinoehl. I don't know the answer to the first two questions and while it appeared to me that the use of pepper spray preceded both gunshots, being sure would require access to the original video and testimony from the multiple witnesses.
Wikipedia has Random article for ages now. All TikTik did was put on a nicer UI. Of course UI are important most user are suckers for that stuff. However I found there really aren't any new ideas left just implementations.
Interesting! As the creator, can you say anything about the algorithm(s) used to determine similarity?
