Incorrect DOM-output is likely caused by common mistakes (e.g. conditional rendering based on `typeof window !== 'undefined'`) which screw up rehydration. Dealt with it in the past and seen a lot of developers struggle with it. This article describes it well:

https://joshwcomeau.com/react/the-perils-of-rehydration/

Gigantic page-data.json files are caused by querying more data than necessary to render a given template/component. Let's say you define a component named `EmployeeCard` that renders a name and photo given an `employeeId`. Now you need to query all employees and render the right one using `.find()`. All this data (including base64 thumbnails) ends up in page-data.json, even if you need to render a only single employee.

This is solved by querying only the relevant employee(s) in the template and provide the data (name + photo) directly to the `EmployeeCard` component as props.

I've developed quite a few websites using Gatsby (mostly backed by various GraphQL API's such as WPGraphQL and Strapi) and while there's lots to learn, it's been an enjoyable experience so far.
i was hoping to see mention of employing cultural burning methods used by indigenous folks[0], who have multiple generations of experience already in this area. it seems possible some of this money does end up being employed this way, but it's disappointing that it's not more prominently featured in a story like this.

Unless intel decides to fund the creation of a fab just for themselves with tsmc but that'd be a much much more expensive process and likely mean that they'd be giving up on their own fabs in the not too distant future.
You didn't catch my point, but never mind. (I probably should've written "a certain way of thinking about the morality of work and of money".)
Sometimes deciding what the bug is depends on knowing what people are doing.

For example, lets say the report is that a program crashes when a particular set of options is used together. The developers thought that there were no situations where it made sense for someone to use that particular set of options.

They need to decide if the bug is that the program accepts that combination of options rather than giving an error about an illegal option combination, or the bug is that the developers were wrong and that combination should be made to work.
Radiation pressure is due to momentum, not mass. I have no idea where you got that idea, since the same sort of sources that teach you about these concepts are very emphatic about photons being massless.

Here is one of the 3-5 interesting facts I remember from my modern physics class: Two photons going the same direction have no mass, but two photons in different directions do have mass. Unfortunately I don't remember the math well enough to explain it. Maybe this means your right about being able to put photons in orbit around each other.

> abridging the freedom [...]; or the right of the people

That pretty clearly attaches "the people" as a qualifier only on the right to assemble and petition the government for redress, and not on the freedom of speech or the press. I'm not sure how you purport to parse that as "abridging the freedom of speech of the people", even if we do grant that "the people" refers only to citizens, rather than all subjects.

I'm an ADD adult and this especially hits me when I'm participating competitions, be it leetcode coding competition or examination. I just hate to do it and every other bits of attention source will got me seeked on, like a notification from my phone, or someone dropped a pen to the ground.

That's how fast I lost focus. But on the other hand sometimes I can be extra-focused, with a prerequisite it's something I enjoyed -- where I truly focus on one single task nonstop, like I finally got the ebb and flow in a tranced out state. This resulted me in one case coding straight for 7 hours. It's not until my body started to crave for food or I don't know how long will this loose cannon shoot.

ADD is both a blessing and a curse to me. This is how I accquired coding and various IT skills since 13, all self-taught. But this also fucked me over exams, and my so life experience is greatly impacted. I also tried to play rhythm games to control focus, only to see it ultimately failed. The only thing I had to deal with it slightly is my Ritalin...only so slightly I can "normally" focus for an hour. I just hope things go right in the rest of my life.
Who gets to say it’s unjustified? As the judge said, there is zero evidence it is unjust.
The situation is a bit different though. If Apple's plan was to produce processors for the likes of HP, Dell, etc, then maybe that would be an issue. But I highly doubt they will move into those markets. It's AMD that's poised to take over that space.

> Unfortunately, it's very difficult to convince suffering patients that they have some control over their situation without also implying personal blame for their problems

I also see it as a big part of the problem, that it's difficult to convince people that they do have control over their lives. In many psychotherapy books, when therapists describe various cases, this is a corner stone of a therapy success: a patient understanding that they do have control over their situation. That it's not the outer world that is so demanding that it leaves them no choice, but them choosing to cope in a particular way, and that there are other ways to react and cope.
I wonder whether Intel/AMD will start offering x86_64 licensing if AArch64 takes off on servers in a major way. You'd think that they would prefer to have competitors on their own architecture/terms than something out of their control.

I read through this and have to say I disagree with several of the points. Rather than go through them all one by one, I'll just say that my experience with several of these create differ greatly (tokio in particular), and several of the crates recommended would not be the ones I suggested. The http section also doesn't mention Actix or Tide or Rocket. Then again, I am relatively new to Rust myself (1 year), so take this with a grain of salt.
As an OSS maintainer (of small projects), I don't really care how someone words a bug report, as long as they aren't rude or demanding. In fact, I'm actually happy if someone takes their time to report a bug.
Your imaginary disclaimer would feel a bit weird indeed. But as other people have mentioned, a little “thank you for the project“ never hurts :-)

The amount of wizardry required to make this work would put every teacher at Hogwarts to shame.

The frontend looks like something completely alien. I am pretty sure the amount of metal is to get rid of complicating effects of having PCB anywhere near the sign and to be able to machine it so that signal paths are matched to something like micrometers. I sort of understand principles, but same way as understanding principles of electromagnetic wave reflection and propagation tells you nothing about how to make invisible planes.

I wonder if the frontend is result of finding solutions to equations, meticulous computer modeling or just humongous number of experiments (sort of like aerodynamic tunnel work).
> If mjw1007 reports a bug in a piece of software that mjw1007 doesn't even use

Given the burden on upstream maintainers, probably mjw1007 should have included a crucial bit of information in the bug report: That they are not using the software any more, this is just to report a known bug they encountered before.

I'd say at least half of my bug reports are for things where I've already found a workaround for my situation, or I'm not using the software any more.

Those bug reports are a burden to create, because I don't get anything directly useful from doing so, and I usually take care to show how to reproduce the bug, ideally with a minimal reproducer, which sometimes takes hours.

If the problem upstream gets solved, it's nice to know I contributed a little civic duty, but I won't likely need the fix.

But I know what it's like to be on the receiving end of reports. So as a reporter, it's on me to not waste the upstream maintainer's time, by making it clear this is just an informational bug report. After all it's more burdensome for them than it is for me.

If they report back, as many do, asking if can try X, Y and Z, I may have to apologise and politely say I'm not using it any more. Ideally I already mentioned that, but upstream might not have noticed the first time.

If upstream says they can't help me or fix the bug without further input from me, it would silly for me to become infuriated because my effort seems wasted. That's on me.

When I contribute a bug report freely as a sort of civic contribution, it's not reasonable to expect upstream to do anything in particular with it if I'm not willing to help as well. It has to be given freely with no expectation on my part, because they haven't promised anything.

If I'm infuriated that the maintainer responds as if I want something from them, and I didn't bother to clarify that I don't, then ironically that means I do want something from them, which is to read my mind and magically guess what I do and don't want, or alternatively to avoid assuming, spend an extra round trip asking what I was too lazy to say up front.

"Amen has built a profitable business around the use of SPECT (single photon emission computed tomography) imaging for purported diagnostic purposes.[6] His marketing of SPECT scans and much of what he says about the brain and health in his books, media appearances, and marketing of his clinics has been condemned by scientists and doctors as lacking scientific validity and as being unethical, especially since the way SPECT is used in his clinics exposes people to harmful radiation with no clear benefit."

Article 4, section 2 `The Citizens of each State shall be entitled to all Privileges and Immunities of Citizens in the several States.` but that is not what's important: 1. Why do you say the constitution has nothing to do with citizens or non-citizens when some articles are about them and their rights ? 2. Why do you disagree that the preamble establishes that the document is from and about the people of the united states (and doesn't apply to non-US people/citizens) ?

That’s very possible. Like I said, there are gaps so it’s not an entirely intact chronology.

In the first two or three minutes of the trip (which felt like much longer), I had this perception of “understanding everything” about reality and consciousness. During this time, I was lookin around the room and enjoying the vivid colors that were overlaying everything. Then a very intense and pleasant vibration occurred. After this, I attempted to play Guitar Hero. This only lasted for exactly one note before I started being pulled through the time period of the trip - I felt my perception forced backwards along the exact path that my eyes had initially taken through the room. In this manner, I was pulled forwards and backwards in a sort of loop. I tried to stand up at one point and knocked over a Coke bottle, and I perceived that bottle falling over multiple times. Same for my friend and tripsitter breaking up a post-trip bowl of cannabis. At one point my perception had come to what seemed like the “now” moment and just kinda stopped or got extremely slow. My thoughts went to the idea of whether I was dead and the looping was the experience of death, so I asked “am I dead?” My sitter told me that “you’re more alive than you’ve ever been”. After that, my trajectory through time continued until I felt a similar vibration to the earlier one, except it felt more dreadful. After that subsided, normal “reality” started to fade back in, with me becoming able to tug back against whatever was pulling me through time. It was very surreal. Even once the afterglow faded, my mind was clear for the first time in 20 years. I could think about nothing if I wanted to. Anyone with ADHD will understand how difficult that normally is.

How To Start Content Marketing
Hi everyone, I've just started an online business and trying to do ethical marketing to bring some traction to my product. I know how to build valuable products but I'm not good at putting these products in front of the right people.

I want to learn content marketing since it looks more solid and good for the long term. I don't know how to make a solid strategy for this, but this is what I'm planning to do:

- Build content about my products (tutorials).

- Build content that is not related to my product but related to my prospective customers.

If you have any tips, story or actionable plan, please share it here. Thank you!

Triage is built for this: training and evaluating giant grids of models & hyperparameters using cross-validation. Similar to igel, it abstracts ML to config files and a CLI.

It's designed for use in a public policy context, so it works best with:
- binary classification problems (ex: the evaluation module is designed for binary classification metrics)
- problems that have a temporal component (the cross validation system makes some assumptions about this)

Ticketmaster often negotiates exclusivity rights to venues. Meaning you can’t use a different ticket selling service for that venue.

There was an attempt to argue they were a monopoly that should be regulated due to the % of the ticket they retained (Pearl Jam spearheaded this in the 90s). It didn’t work.

Also I see nothing wrong as a business model with the Firebase analogy. If you could convince customers to go for it, then why not? Will the business model police arrest you?

What I don’t get about these arguments is that they’re trying to get the government to punish a couple of companies that built a very successful business model purely because others want some of that dough. This isn’t about monopoly by any historical definition, it’s about sour grapes.

Do you take the XR version or do you take regular adderall?
I've taken regular adderall on and off for the last 10 years. It helped me so much in the past but I started to feel very fatigued by it. These days I have an extremely difficult time focusing and have been contemplating going back on it.
In the IT industry there's this different type of subtle authority. "Yeah you can come as you please" But your daily meeting is at 10am and everyone must be there. Oh, and you must be present at least until X pm because there must be enough overlapping hours, so your wiggle room becomes even smaller. "You make your own hours, overtime is totally not expected" But people who take time off the least and do the most (sometimes unpaid) overtime get promoted etc. etc. If you take what they say literally, you say goodbye to any chance of promotion and might even get called out as a "non-teamplayer". They will wait until you realize you will never go forward in the company like this and either you start doing overtime or quit.

"Unlimited vacation days" is the biggest joke. Seriously, there's nothing stopping you from never showing up to work? In reality it's a way to make sure nobody ever takes time off if they want to have any chance of promotion.
Same here. Super angry about some random guy wearing a blue sweater that I didn’t like for example. It made no sense to me why I was that angry, but it went away after quitting... I was seriously afraid to kill somebody if I would continue taking it.
"Usually" doesn't matter. If 100 people drop by to demand the project maintainer make a change or tell them how they can do something to best benefit their company and look good by doing it, and 1 person stops by with a high quality bug report, it follows that annoying the latter is how you guarantee that your future lies in dealing with 100 assholes, because person #101 is going to disappear.

That's a generous way to put it.
For large aperture radio-telescopes like Arecibo or VLBA one advantage would be that you can use gravity and the structural reinforcement of the surface to maintain precise formation and location of your reflectors.

One of these days we'll perfect fine stationkeeping and be able to fly large clusters of scopes/reflectors/etc and surface-based scopes will likely become less attractive.

Absolutely, better performance per watt means longer battery life. Windows already supports ARM. Microsoft doesn't really have a choice here but to improve support for ARM. Office on Mac seems like is going to be ready for Apple Silicon if that effort also helps Office on Windows ARM then they are half way there.

A cousin of mine spent about 10 years as a Hotshot[0], and now runs an engine in Plumas County, CA.

A few things that have stuck with me over the years of discussing his work:

* Much like floods, he returns the same burn areas year after year (ex. Paradise, CA and surrounding area). Some of that is recent encroachment into wilderness boundary areas, but much is also historically-inhabited land whose climate has changed drastically.

* Prescribed burns quickly run up against environmental regulations (esp. those intended to reduce smog), property rights concerns, and coordinating the patchwork of agencies and individuals who own and manage this land - BLM, USFS, CalFire, Sierra Pacific Industries, &c.

* To hear him tell it, CalFire is woefully incompetent and fiscally irresponsible, leaving much of the work to over-burdened and under-funded federal agencies. I live in a CalFire "State Responsibility Area" (i.e. any fire in my area would be served by CalFire), and I've seen very little actual evidence to contradict him.
