Looks like that military base dumped something yellow and very toxic into the river (or some other organization, but we only hear of the military base being in the area).

I wonder what kind of chemicals fit that profile?

It's nice to live in a country where doing that means lawsuits and jail time usually. I doubt there will be justice in this case.
> In logical debates, people tend not to make personal comments like "you're demonstrating ignorance" or other potentially disparaging garbage like that.

The point wasn’t to attack you, the point was that it’s futile to discuss “philosophy” if you continue to misrepresent what it is. Which is why I don’t have much more to say about the rest of your comment.
Maybe what is needed is an AI engine that you can train on your own tastes, so it can crawl through the literally millions of pieces of media out there to find ones that you are likely to find interesting and enjoy.

Shame port cities like LA, NY don't buy old cruise ships to re-purpose them for homeless shelters.

I admit that I've loved the cruises I've taken - new port every day - super well-fed 24hrs - great entertainment... but the cruise industry is horrible for the reasons noted!

It really wouldn't be a loss if covid killed them off, though that's unlikely - more likely they'll just reposition all their ships to serve China.
In some perverse world I suppose "Star Wars", over 40 years old, is irrelevant since "The Rise of Skywalker" is newer.

You should use git-lfs for these files. Probably some wizardry with `filter-branch` and adding these files to lfs could debloat your repo once you do a fresh clone from that.

> Microsoft Excel, PowerPoint, or Chrome run mostly single-core and are everyday consumer tools.

Chrome seems very much not to run single core; from what I've read of it's process/threading architecture, it is both aggressively multiprocess and it's processes aggressively multithreaded, with work pushed out as widely as practical, using as many cores as it can, with a strategy around keeping the UI thread and each process’s IO thread as responsive as possible.

That's an interesting take; I view OSS as an act of generosity. It's a gift given by the author, without any expectation of reward.

Waiting tables in the movie business feels more like a hustle; people do it so they can live in LA or Vancouver while they seek fame and fortune.

I have seen a trend of fame/fortune-seeking in OSS recently, but it seems more like a toxic offshoot than the norm.

The best OSS projects are still made by people who are genuinely trying to share solutions to common problems. Maybe they "make it" financially, but that is orthogonal to OSS contribution.

Decades of putting out naturally occurring fires has already precluded a 'hands off all natural' approach.
To be honest, if the boxes were smaller, I couldn't definitively say as I'm also red-green color blind. So I'm glad someone could clear it up for us.

One great example of the case where I absolutely cannot tell is when you have a LOT of tests in something like buildkite https://buildkite.com/features and most API status pages (many small green/yello/red circles/boxes).
well at the time that was written only certain people were actually allowed to sit in government or vote, so it would seem those are the people who should have the rights outlined by the constitution, but it seems that the constitution at its formation did allow freedom of religion for women, who at the time were not allowed to vote. So it seems that there might be some leeway.

There was at one time the argument that the bill of rights codified some of the natural rights that were inherent in humans, to protect against government encroachment, as per The Rights of Man theory of natural rights https://www.ushistory.org/paine/rights/c2-04.htm but this is no longer the popular interpretation, generally theories that prevent power from being asserted will lose popularity, at least among the powerful.

Actually, it's still the best; it's just that that's a very, very low bar, since the competition is actively user-hostile, and looks like it was designed in Photoshop by a graphic designer who never wrote a line of code in their life (often because it was).

Ha!

For a lot of open source maintainers and projects, that's not an option because there isn't someone else.

A number of articles about how to run healthy open source projects talk about the importance and difficulty of getting sufficient interested volunteers to keep it going, and how most projects don't succeed at that.

It is often difficult or untenable to "step aside" and pass along the baton because there's nobody seriously available to take it on.

Or they're offering for the status (Github stars, résumé-driven development etc), and you can sadly tell it's bad for the project if you just hand it over. At least, you need to on-board people like this in stages, find out which ones are serious maintainers and which aren't.

It's also very common to have drive-by "this should do $X" type comments, or "someone should do $X", but nobody is willing to help in a realistic or useful way with $X, or at all.

That's why some places respond with "patches welcome!". Or "you are welcome to fix this yourself".

That's not maintainers being unwilling to step aside.

There's also an awkward problem where people are willing to help, but their help creates more work than if they weren't helping. For example low quality patches, things which add a high maintenance burden, things that add more bugs or break other features.

Or more reasonably, which just clash with the design direction of the project.

The same happens in the real world (non-computer) non-profit volunteer projects.

A large burden ends up on a small number of shoulders, and people may "armchair comment" while being full of it, out loud in public, that the people doing the work aren't "letting" others do the work or "stepping aside". When in reality, there is so much less volunteering on offer than people think from the talk, and much of what's genuinely available creates more additional work than it saves. But talk is cheap, fun for some, and it sways views, while doing actual work means you don't have the time to talk as much, but you're under pressure to talk anyway to counter prevailing armchair views if you don't.
I agree there. There have also been some arguments about whether "people" without any qualifier should refer to "people of the several States" because that is the wording used elsewhere, or whether the absence of the qualifier is intentional and significant, in which case "people" should be interpreted more broadly.
Healthcare worker here. Love this comment, spot on. Newsom should allocate 2B, or 20B, and create a metric of fire prevention relative to fire risk, and then reward communities with a higher value (i.e., fewer fires per unit of fire risk means more dough). That would align incentives and fix the problem (or at least, not make it worse).
This is why we built Trix (trix.co).

It's a consumer-facing photo editing app that uses adversarial AI to manipulate your photos in such a way that companies like Clearview AI can't train facial recognition algorithms off your data. You can download the Android or iOS version at trix.co - we're in beta right now.

Eh... I don’t share your cavalier attitude. You assume these attacks aren’t targeted just because we haven’t seen them, but it wouldn’t be hard at all for an attacker to take control of a package through some means (purchase, social engineering, or just solving a problem more efficiently than others do and aggressively asking others to adopt it), then publishing to npm a minified version of the package which includes some targeted exploit that doesn’t activate except in a specific environment. The source on GitHib would ofc not include the exploit, and there’s no push for reproducible builds in the npm world so verifying that npm’s minified JS was built from the GitHub source is nontrivial and not something most shops would bother with.

Well, most modern fans of Star Wars are far more, if not exclusively, familiar with the movies post Phantom Menace. Many have never even seen the OT.
There are varying types of colour blindness. For example, there are the "opia" and the "omaly" types. For r/g and y/b these seem to have different ramifications.

Mostly the "omaly" types can get by without too much fuss since colour differentiation is more muted and the "opia" types affect more of the spectrum and more difficulty differentiating if they can at all.

It's more nuanced than that, but generally speaking it tends to work out that way.
And why do they scan the demonstrations asking for police accountability - right away that sounds like a conflict of interesting. You never hear about the AI scanning faces at places where actual criminals hang out - like maybe a pawn shop (possibly selling stolen goods).
Do you have any data on how effective this technique is?
It's a fair question that everyone should ask themselves in our shoes. If we did it again maybe we'd rethink.

That said, the entire goal was to allow a non-engineer to more easily enable our end-users with documentation. We didn't anticipate the amount of engineering hours it'd take to actually get this functioning well given its adoption and ecosystem. Even the investment into MDX though was to service the core goal: create clean abstractions for the complexity where possible.
This reminds me of when I was in San Diego in 2000. A neighbour (African American) told me how in the early 90s he was in Sydney and decided to see how he could support the "people of colour". He went to Redfern and found that all the dark people were giving him the hate stare. He found this confusing.

I pointed out to him that to our Indigenous people, being coloured didn't make him a brother (usually "cousin" amongst Aboriginal Australians), in fact he was just another invader.

Assumptions about colour don't always apply in different countries.
Yes. There was a death last year in South Carolina (Angela Chadwick Hawkins) when a device used for starting fires blew up.

According to one article [1] there were 6 deaths from prescribed burns between 1963 and 2013 (and 201 deaths from undesired wildfires). While looking this up,I was also surprised to learn that the #1 cause of death when fighting wildfires is vehicle accidents, and the majority of those are plane crashes

This module use widely used packages in node. In any non-trivial node project you would already have these. Whole point of small single use packages is to prevent from re-inventing a wheel. People are bashing node community without understanding.

Typical you would have people publish hundreds similar packages to solve a specific problem. Over time, best maintained, feature complete would "win" and become a standard, at this point other packages would converge and use these 1/2 top solutions. This process allow exploring large space of possible solutions and prevent app developers from NIH. There is more churn, but also more innovation and productivity.

See for example css-in-js evolution story.

> > what if Apple outperforms both Intel and AMD with their Apple Silicon?

> It wouldn't matter at all to either AMD or Intel until Apple starts supplying these chips to other OEM's. Till then, it will just be used in the walled garden of Apple products, which is the very thing that makes it very unattractive for many users.

Well, there is another possible path: if Apple Silicon is seen as a PoC, someone else could decide to pursue the server market with an Apple Silicon inspired ARM-based offering. Perhaps aimed at FaaS deployments or something similar.

Not mentioned in the article. They simply talk of fans blowing the 'bags' around at 60MPH. Not what happens when a plug occurs, or a bag breaks.
Happy to share my enthusiasm! I understand the skepticism too, given that we’re into the second wave of psychedelics. All I will say about those is to pay attention to the research being done at John’s Hopkins. It is a reputable institution, and they’re rigorously looking at effects and potential uses without being, to my knowledge, strong advocates based on personal encounters.

It’s important to know that the psychoactive fungi are a tiny, tiny fraction of fungal life. The role of fungi in the ecosystem has really only started to be deeply studied over the past decade or two. It’s kind of like microbiome research writ large. We don’t know what we don’t know, and what we are learning is wild stuff. Like, forests only exist because mushrooms farm trees (see the Radiolab episode).

And even the more...Experienced...advocates are finding wild stuff in the greater fungal world. Paul Stamets, for example, has gotten contracts with DARPA because he’s finding all kinds of very effective antiviral, antifungal, antibacterial compounds in different species’ mycelia. He may have found a simple cure for colony collapse disorder—the experimental results look good. So don’t ignore their contributions when they get results—just maybe skip their TED talks ;)
It helps to track the virus and facilitates contact tracing.
Stop Police from Using Facial Recognition to Track You
Just deployed our beta version of our consumer photography app, trix.co.

High-level, Trix uses adversarial AI tech to manipulate your photos (before you upload them to Instagram, Facebook, and the like) in such a way that when Clearview.ai and others go to scrape your data, it is impossible for them to train facial recognition models off your content.

Excited to hear what you all think!

That's because your wish happened to align well with the maintainer's understanding on how they want to spend their time. Think of it as hitchhiking, if you're both going the same way, it's a win-win: a free ride for you and a free chat for them. But if they need to take a 100-mile detour to get where you're headed, it makes full sense for them to simply say no.

Why would we have heard about any of the failures? Part of the 'blue wall' is intended to hide policing failures from the general populace. Particularly when

* in the case of targeting a well off person who they decide to further investigate, they can simply use it as reason to look harder at someone, use parallel construction to build the case that the defense sees, and simply drop any cases where the defense happens to get too close. This is what they do with stingrays.

* in the case of targeting a well off person who they decide not to investigate, they can simply tell themselves that the person is a paragon of society and it must be one of the failures of the technology. Like when a boy escaped Jeffrey Dahmer's house heavily drugged, running down the street, bleeding out of his anus, begging anyone who would listen to not let Jeffrey take him back, the police got involved and gave him back since Jeffrey was such a paragon of the town. That cop later became head of the police union.

Basically, we initially thought we needed point-in-time versions of a bunch of data files, and later decided we didn't care about point-in-time.

> I had a mild case of covid and the loss of smell and taste was unlike anything similar I've ever experienced.

Very much true. Usually when you bite a lemon you feel a strong sour taste followed by involuntary movement of hands tightening towards the chest and shivering briefly.

With covid's loss of taste, i felt no taste at all when biting a lemon, but the body wants to shiver which i could control easily but was very confusing experience i never felt before. Very unique experience.

Also realized the appetite falls rapidly. Without taste i had to force feed myself. During normal illness your are tired and don't want to eat, but this is very different experience.
Apple’s careers page has job listings indicating they are using an industry standard data warehousing, ETL, star schema etc. user analytics stack for something.

I used Adderall everyday for a year, and I would generally recommend people stay away from it if they can unless you have extreme ADD/ADHD. I know that a lot of people are saying that it changed their lives and in fact, it helped me to understand how far I could push my mind and body to its productivity limits, which helps me be productive today. However, as mentioned in some of the other comments, it makes you angry and I have lost many friends and closed many doors socially. I also would not say that I was actually more purposeful in my daily activities. Meaning, I may have been able to produce more mental and physical output but like you mention, I would fixate on lots of unnecessary things that ultimately put me behind in what I wanted to accomplish over the course of a year or even who I wanted to be as a person.

Static site generators are a weird bunch. A vast majority of the projects never leave the beta phase and only a select few are relatively stable and regularly updated. That aside, the community aspect is even more vital in my experience. Unless you're an expert and understand the inner workings of the project, you're going to have to rely on documentation and community tutorials and starter projects.

I wouldn't for example know if something is even possible to achieve with a project unless someone had a repository showcasing how it is done, which has made me wary of betting on anything too immature. I just don't have the skills to bridge the gap myself.

Personally, I've stuck with Jekyll up to last year for these reasons, but right when COVID hit I started to delve into 11ty. I can say that it has been nothing short of a delight and the community is pretty stellar as well. I'm currently experiencing build times measured in milliseconds instead of minutes or so. I've been impressed and the project is developed actively and each update brings very concrete upgrades every time. Currently, I have the honor of sitting on top of the performance leaderboard for 11ty. Over half of the 400 sites there scores full marks in Google Lighthouse scores which should tell you something.
