To be fair, I never thought about that: my current TV is 1080p 32 inches and I'm looking at it from a couple of meters. I wouldn't know where to place something twice as wide as that. Anyway, it's still OK and I hope I don't need a new one soon but I'll check the prices. Thanks.

Lark Lane, Liverpool seems quite apposite here. Two Turkish restaurants, an Italian-American one, a Mediterranean one, a Thai one, three Chinese takeaways, a burger place, an Indian restaurant, a Tandoori house, a pizza place, a middle-eastern restaurant, a Greek restaurant, and two bistros.

One of the takeaways is a vegan "Chinese chippy" named Woo Tan Scran.

My question was about using that many devices. And I'll quote myself here fully:

> Out of curiosity, how do you even manage to use more than five devices for private use at once? Even just owning that many is unlikely.

One sentence is a question, the other is a statement which I consider to be true (and explains how I arrived at that question).

Also it was quite clear from my argument that I was talking about people singular, and you responded pretending I was saying that an entire family owning more than 5 devices is unlikely.

I can't imagine why you'd be arguing like this, I just hope it's not on purpose.
I've sometimes heard wikipedia described as a "large scale static site plus a medium scale social network". The caching is a bit more complex than a naive static site due to churn rate and freshness requirements, but fundamentally you are right, without frontend varnish caching, wikipedia would be very different in terms of hosting requirements and scaling complexity.
Your second point conveys what I meant far better.

I'm by no means saying one should be a shirker, I mean you should manage your managers by understanding that their role is to get the most work out of you as possible. Leaving yourself a little leeway is just common sense, as you say, if you're working yourself to the bone constantly and giving people the impression that that's just your standard level, eventually something's going to give, likely your mental health.

> definitely implies that he believes his "hypergraph with update rules" model is how the universe actually works and what remains is to find the particular structure and update rules that describe our own universe.

This goes back to his obsession with cellular automata. There's an outstanding amount of references to "I" in your link. Great works of science usually reference the works of others...
The concept of a field can be described using mathematics but does that really mean mathematics is actually what the universe is made of?

Suppose for example we found that protons, neutrons, and electrons really were fundamental. Their behavior can be described with mathematics but wouldn't we say it's still the elementary particles that our compose our universe?
Right, and I think it's the negative stigma of the former ("jobless") than the latter ("living with parents").

Multi-generational family cohabitation is nothing new and still the norm in many parts of the world. There's many advantages of it, though also carries risks (example is Italy's seniors exposure to COVID19).

The "jobless" part is more cross-cultural in its negative stigma, on the expectation that adults are contributing members of their respective societies. But as this article goes into detail, the quality of the job matters as much as having one. "Gainfully employed" > "employed", especially for the person in question.

I think another aspect of this is the age of the individual. When one is in their early 20s, then being "jobless" and "living with parents" is much more acceptable (both by the self and the society). But as one gets older, such as in the article's 40+ year old norm, then it becomes much harder. Add on top the Japanese/Asian emphasis on image and honor, then the resulting perceived sense of shame/failure can be very burdensome.
I agree with you. All i’m saying is it’s good that Blink isn’t a black box unlike IE.
> I have to wait on hold. [...] How do we avoid this?

Hold really is awful. And it's gotten so much worse during covid. Re how do we avoid this: for starters, there should be laws against companies putting people on hold without providing a callback option. As far as I can tell there's no reason not to offer a callback option except to screw over your customers who aren't willing to wait on the phone and listen to their awful hold music for an hour straight to save some money on customer support and prevent your unwilling customers from cancelling. (BTW while we're at it, there should also be laws allowing anyone to cancel a subscription service online. California partially does this by requiring an online cancellation option when the subscription was started online.)
> I love the hellzapoppin' colorization but it does show that we have a long way to go -- you can see the colorization struggle with keeping the skin tone of the dancers consistent. obviously, this has a lot to do with training data bias.

The colorization is struggling to keep colors consistent on the costumes, walls, curtains... basically everywhere the lighting keeps changing a bit.

Many things in the scene are constantly shifting minutely between pinkish-beige and bluish-grey, often making them look somewhat iridescent.

I've noticed this sort of effect in many colorization attempts. This one does better than most.

Training data bias is obviously part of the problem, but not the whole story. It might not even be the biggest cause. Image segmentation is one way to help the colorization stabilize.
Related: linked lists are way overused in chaining hash tables when dynamic arrays could be used instead. One reason sometimes given is that linked lists are amenable to the "move-to-front" heuristic (move just-accessed element to the head of the list), but one can do the same thing in dynamic arrays by swapping the just-accessed element with the first element (a better heuristic though is to fix some k and swap with the kth element if the accessed element is outside the top k, or swap with the preceding element if it's in the top k).
Exactly. Engineers need to be in charge of engineering companies. Boeing is a case study in what happens otherwise.
This nonsense talk about civil war has gotten ridiculous. What is going to be the impetus for this war? Who are the belligerents? The "law and order" party has a monopoly on gun ownership and our police force is militarized. I guess there may be riots and civil unrest but the idea that we're going to witness a "civil war" is just silly.
Good question, I'm also interested. In my case (more covid-like symptoms than anything else, but no confirmation) I can feel difference between lemon and banana.

For me yes. Couldn’t taste anything for about a week so I just ate soup and toast. After that the sweet , salt ,fatty etc came back so I swapped to lasagna and cannelloni as it was the most normal tasting food.

Not everyone has parents that are normal people. Some people have parents that are abusive. Unsure if you're looking for why some people do want to move out as soon as possible but that's a main one for a lot of people. I know a lot of college adults cannot afford to go to university while having a part time job and living alone. Sucks for them if their parents are abusive. Not so much if parents are okay.
Related: pigeonhole principle.

If you have n buckets, and n+1 items you're guaranteed to have a shared bucket.

In the case of hash algorithms you're taking an arbitrary sized input and "compressing" (in quotes because this is one way, you can't decompress it because of collisions) into a fixed size. If you permit more inputs to your hash function than there are hash values, then you will eventually have a collision.

A stupid awful hash function: n mod 100

So long as n is less than 100, you will never have a collision. But as soon as you compute the hash of n = 100, you will get a collision (with 0 in this case). Now, real world hash algorithms have larger spaces they map to, and more complicated mappings, but they all have this same problem. The larger the space (like 256-bits versus 64-bits) the less likely collisions become, but it could still happen.
A good rule of thumb is "if it fits in a cache line, then computation is free", where "computation" could mean search, hashing, compression, etc. This means, e.g., that linear search generally beats binary search if the whole array fits in a single cache line (or half a cache line if it's unaligned).
I had a similar experience early in my career working in a call center. We received a lot of calls about 1 problem with customer modems. I wrote a script that detected snmptraps and automatically issued bounce commands to the remote modems.

Our call volume dropped noticeably. I told my manager why. He was pissed, and asked how we were going to justify headcount if our call volume was dropping.

Lesson learned. [edit: the ambiguous lesson is intentional. I stopped trying, but he kept everyone employed. So... lesson learned :)]

> What's the use of this "class system" if one class covers such a broad area? Isn't it so broad as to be useless?

Hinduism is evolutionary in nature. It anticipated emergence of new profession as society progressed ahead with time . Having said that first three classes were fixed in terms of duties of education, defence , and business. They were responsible for providing stable environment for rest of the professions to bloom and evolve. That why last class wasn't fixed. It is impossible to predict emerging professions anyways.

Moreover The Varna system was merely a loose way of classifying the society. These weren't categories you have to live your entire life. Many people moved up and down. Vishwamitra was a king who turned into a sage as an example. There is a long list of such cases.[1]

> Was this ever true in practice?

Yes to a large extent. Please read comment of dilippkumar quoting from the books describing practices of pre-conial India.

If you have time please read Bhagwad Gita for an introduction to Hindu philosophical system. Many Westerns like Bethovan, Robert Oppenheimer, Thoreau have drawn inspiration from it. Remember this book was written 5000 or perhaps before that. Only a stable and developed society would've thought about these ideas in such details I would argue.

All my best teachers, including college, had practiced in the field. Actually your scenario is exactly what I was thinking about doing in old age given my CS teacher was math teacher that had done punch cards once in college.

I had the same frustration, but my experience with Gatsby and Hugo is that you just need to get past the how-tos and quick-starts. To get started quickly, you need a lot of structure in place, and most people just want a blog, so that's what the starter themes and tutorials cater to. If you get past the tutorials and get comfortable in the official documentation, the functionality turns out to be more general.
“ No disease, pest or fungal pressures to influence harvest decisions”

It also complicates the bootstrapping process, sometimes significantly.

I understand that it's important to eat your own dog food, in order to experience the pain points yourself. But sometimes people think of self hosting as a symbol of something (pride maybe), and that's the wrong way to approach a programming problem in my opinion.
Tax-Loss Harvesting a Strategy
Tax-loss harvesting a strategy
Tax-loss harvesting is a strategy that can help investors minimize any taxes they may owe on capital gains or their regular income.
Sometimes an investment that has lost value can still help your portfolio; if an investment drops you can deduct that loss, which can also help boost your total investment returns.
For a married couple filing jointly, up to $3,000 per year in realized capital losses can be used to offset capital gains tax or taxes owed on ordinary income.
The IRS bans investors from deducting a capital loss on the sale of a security against the capital gain of the same security; This is called a wash sale.
A general rule is that you should only harvest the loss if the tax benefit outweighs the administrative cost.
Understanding Tax-Loss Harvesting

free forex signals
An investment loss can be used to offset capital gains tax on realized gains in an investment portfolio; it can also be used to offset taxes on ordinary income. For a married couple filing jointly, up to $3,000 per year in realized losses can be used to offset ordinary income on federal income taxes.1
Even if an investor doesn't anticipate any capital gains this year, there are still benefits to the tax-loss harvesting strategy because capital losses can be used to offset ordinary income. In addition, losses can also be carried into the future indefinitely and used to offset future gains.

Capital Loss
Sometimes an investment that has lost value can still help your portfolio. If an investment drops, you can deduct that loss, which can also help boost your total investment returns. For example, suppose an individual invests $10,000 in an exchange traded fund (ETF) at the beginning of the year. Then this ETF decreases in value by 10% and drops to a market value of $9,000. This is considered a capital loss of $1,000.

"In Finland, where substantial physical activity is part of the school day, rates of ADHD are also very low. Meanwhile, in the U.S. children are asked to sit still for the majority of the day. Elementary school students often get only 15-20 minutes of recess a day, a far cry from the 60-90 minutes their parents had. Coincidentally, ADHD rates in the U.S. have gone up over the last 15 years. "

Frankly I think this is rooted in a sense of nostalgia rather than practical concern. It's clear me blow enjoys being close to the metal. He wants to be a true hacker who can drill down to each and gate.

But the reality of systems is that they grow more complicated. There is a popular TED talk that claims there is no one on earth who understands how a computer mouse is manufactured. There are just too many steps and specialities (mineral identification, mining, material science, manufacturing, ergonomics, etc).

Anyone who has ever re-made a piece of software knows this trap.

Software starts -> features get added -> it's too complicated, we don't understand it anymore -> throw it away and start over.

It almost never ends up any better. It's a trap as you quickly realise why it was so complicated.

These income gains are inflation adjusted, and about half the entire weight of most inflation indexes is just housing, education, and health care costs:

https://www.bls.gov/cpi/tables/relative-importance/2019.txt

Even if housing costs have gone up more than overall inflation, other things have fallen, and OVERALL inflation rate is the best rough measure of "cost of living".

There's some disagreement around whether we should use CPI-U, CPI-W, or PCE — CPI-W underweights housing, for eg — but importantly, the median income has increased since 1981 regardless of the choice of index. The median total compensation has increased since WW2 regardless of the choice of index.
