> Can someone explain how they thought taking over a state within the US would do anything?

There is no logical case to be made, but there is a strong emotional one.

People need to belong and have a sense of purpose. For years, these people have had NRA TV and the militia movements telling them that they and their guns are the only thing keeping America from being destroyed from within. That Patriots like them, who are willing to die for their beliefs, are the only thing that save America.

After armed militia members descended on the Michigan state house earlier this year and demanded to let into the the legislative chambers, not only was there no real consequences, but many people hailed them as heroes, with President Trump himself tweeting his support with "FREE MICHIGAN!!!!"

They were encouraged and supported at every point of their escalation, and now people want to pretend it came out of no where.

In North America cars are generally bought or financed by dealers and sold to customers. Dealers don't want cars to last more than a month or so on their lot unsold.

Most people won't balk from buying a plain looking car, but they may not want a yellow, purple, red or green car. So dealers don't order many brightly varied cars.

You also have to remember that even if a person does want a green car, for instance, they may not want the options on THAT green car.

Different color paint doesn't take any longer in the paint booth, but some colors show defects better, and it's a LOT of work to do color harmonization - making the plastic bits match the painted body.

It only takes about 24 hours or less to take a car from parts to finished product, the lead time comes from getting parts from suppliers.

What do I way to know, eh? I guess the real thing I would like to know is how your job is different from product development for the public. I very much realize that it's an open ended question and is not answerable unless you've had experience doing what I do.

That said, here are some concrete questions. Do your projects get cancelled regularly for reasons other than engineering merrit? Do you get into a mode where you have to maintain projects that are "past their prime"? This one might be weird, but do you feel needed, as in do you feel like your contribution matters?

While I am asking these I realize that my fantasy bubble is busting and that maybe project requirements and management might not be that much different in our worlds, but I'd rather hear from someone in that world.

Okay, so rustc is compiling rust to machine code. Here we have some advanced version of JavaScript (es7?) going through a series of compilations, asset extraction, tree shaking, dependency graphs that are 10000+ packages long etc. The solutions rust and cargo choose (like having a decent standard library to reduce deps) are all better. Rust is fast and worth paying a compilation prise for, is it worth it in JS so we can have shiny semantic sugar everywhere? I don’t know how crate modules works but hopefully each library needs you to specify versions of all dependencies at the top level rather than magically hiding modules you’re adding 5 levels deep.

I could probably go on further if I knew rust better. The ecosystems are completely different IMO and webpack as a build system leads to complexity not clarity - its like a machine where an animal goes in and a sausage comes out, whereas other build systems are more logical in their steps.

Very well-written progressive explanation of the experiment that I, a total layman, could understand the basics.

And it made me curious to know more about those mentioned constants that relate to different physical phenomena.

Yup. Delphi was always stupidly fast.

I recall first time using another IDE I thought the compiler had hung. Nope...just slow.
This "clever code" is a bit misnomer for this kind of phenomena isn't it? Even overly-complex code is not an accurate term for that because overly-complex code can be caused by an overly-complex valid spec.

"Stupidly out-of-spec code" or "Stupidly prematurely abstracted code" are more fitting to describe those kind of code.

I personally feel uncomfortable calling them clever code because they are not clever at all so that they are causing physical pain.

I'm fortunate to have a complete "creative-control" over a code several times. I frequently tell people to stop writing code that we don't need for the moment. Most of them are anticipation of reuses.

From the article “When you squeeze the gas pump trigger, gas running past the hole in the check valve sucks air out of the Y-shaped tube”

Am I right in thinking that all usages of ‘gas’ in this mean ‘liquid fuel’?

It’s referred to as ‘petrol’ where I am.
I think so. Look at esbuilt benchmarks - they show 4 and 5 comparisons. Seems to be significantly slower.
It definitely depends on the gas station. Some pump faster and some pump slower. 10 gal/min sounds about average.

I like pumping at truck stops (Flying J, Loves, etc) because they tend to have faster pumps.

I drive a pickup truck with a 38 gallon (145 liter) tank. So I definitely notice slow pumps and seek out gas stations with faster ones. I have been to many gas stations where they pump way too slow and I will just get a few gallons and leave because I don't want to sit around all day while it fills up and I don't trust the auto-shutoffs enough to leave it unattended. I have had one fail once and luckily was there to stop it before too big of a mess was made.

I am lucky enough to live right next to a Gasoline Distribution company and they have a really nice public gas pump that you can use with super fast pumps and all of their gas is ethanol free (most gas in the US has ~10% ethanol). So that is where I usually fill up.
Many people (including my self at work) handle webpack configs just fine. I started a vue project at work the other day and it was as simple as:

npx @vue/cli@latest create my-project

This scaffolded a fully configured project with webpack, babel, typescript, eslint, a custom dev server, etc. I think react developers have a similar tool called create-react-app. I personally (or professionally, since I only use this at work; personally I just have an `index.html` and a python server) just let vue-cli handle the webpack config and forget about it. I guess rust developers use cargo to the same manner.

I suspect much of the complain about the complexity of the front-end ecosystem comes from people that either a) don’t do front-end regularly and are trying to build a website for them self but get bad advice for the tools needed, or b) are backend developers at work and think they know better about the front-end then their front-end counterparts. In the case of (a), they simply just need better advice on tooling (and which tools are an overkill), the tone of my original comment was more directed at the other group (b; although the advice I gave was for the former group—whoops).

Yeah, I use my Sony α6600 with the Sigma 1.4 56mm lens. And an Elgato Cam Link 4K to hook it up to the computer.

I certainly wouldn’t buy it just for a webcam, but I already have the camera and I got the Cam Link for my son’s violin performances that moved to Zoom for a while.

Oh, also I use the ECM-B1M mic even though I use Bluetooth headphones. I realized Bluetooth headphones (at least on a Mac) drop down to super low quality when transmitting both audio and mic, so I only use them for my sound and rely on the camera mic through the Cam Link for input.
What fraction of gas sold is mid-grade? I have never purchased it.
Which one?

I’ve spent a few hours trying to pick one and there’s no standout obvious choice.

LUMIX GH5? Kind of old and likely to be replaced soon.

LUMIX G100? New, but video record limit and bad autofocus.

Sony ZV1? Good autofocus, but no interchangeable lens and smaller sensor

It’s really hard to find something that is clearly the best choice.

Edit: just saw your response to the other comment, thanks
Amazon Has Canceled Crucible
I would advocate that these things are clearly wrong and should be defended against:

- Killing a "regime supporter", meaning someone targeted only because of their political beliefs. It is not right that political beliefs should be punished like that. Ideally they shouldn't be punished at all, they should be tolerated but simply lose an election.

You can't claim to "protest for democracy" while being happy to facilitate murdering people who vote for the other side! That would be mad hypocrisy.

- Killing a police officer whose crime, even if violent, fell significantly short of killing someone themselves. Punishment should fit the crime, not be 10x worse.

You can't claim to "protest for justice" while being happy to facilitate extra-judicial killings that aren't even based in justice.

- Killing an innocent person who is mis-identified, whether by accident or not so much.

See above.

The third point, killing an innocent person seems even more likely due to automated facial recognition software like what's running on Facebook, with its biases and a mask to add more noise too, integrated with deepfake image reconstruction technology to produce convincing "unmasked" images, combined with vigilantes often not being too bothered about accuracy and statistics.

However wrong or right you think it is, surely everyone agrees it's wrong if it ends up getting the wrong people.

But no apparently. I've spoken with people in other situations (at other times) who said, basically, it's ok for "a few innocents" to die if that's what it takes to rid the world of guilty people. And others taking the view that it's ok for "police" to die because police are bad. Both views strike me as boneheaded AF.

It is clear AF from the reports that the Belarus authorities think it's ok for some number of innocents to die and suffer for the sake of policing and intimidation. If I were there I would certainly want the authority to "die", by being thoroughly dismantled asap.
I'd guess more in the direction of first sale latency. Remarkable colors might fly off the lot, or they might moulder until they're dumped next year at a loss. Grayscale palette doesn't invite a risk of emotional response introducing volatility to sales.

Oddly enough, the models most likely to be available in actual colors fit the market most likely to care about resale value. Catastrophic depreciation hasn't ever seemed to impact luxury car sales. For excellent value retention, the other end of the market is where it's at. If MSRP for any trim level dips under US$20,000 it's certain to be available in bold colors. The other exceptions are the brand identification models - Miata, Supra, Mustang, Camaro - Emotional response is a desired outcome, so they're available in colors someone might actually form an opinion about.
> There's nothing humane about preventing people from being able to work

My reading of the argument (maybe different from OP) is the choice to work a low wage job isn't a choice made completely by one's own volition due to a huge stack of societal factors.

Let's break your counterargument down a bit, preventing people from being able to work denies them sustenance yes, but also embedded (IMO) in your argument is the intrinsic value of a job as a part of someone's life. Here we agree and this is why I don't support cradle-to-grave welfare and think it would be a disaster if implemented. It is something welfare advocates tend to ignore, to the detriment of their credibility on other economic matters.

A retraining program coupled with a large hike in minimum wages and temporary retraining assistance could sustainably raise the minimum standard of living with no government takeover of the economy. The program itself can be a private one if designed the right way. Prior retraining programs didn't work due to 1) lack of accountability and 2) lack of demand for upskilled labor. A very high minimum wage fixes that on the cost side and also on the aggregate demand side. (Something approaching the median US wage today or possibly 1.5x-2x higher, phased in over several decades to give business a measure of predictability and planning capacity.)

Most low paying jobs can be automated, when they aren't it is because human labor is so cheap that the expense of capex to automate isn't worth it. By raising the floor cost of labor, government provides business an incentive to retool the economy around higher-wage paying activities. Any business that can't automate and relies on cheap human work to do drudgery isn't worth saving in my opinion. A bonus is that the resulting capex will generate second and third order effects that will catalyze economic growth and spare many otherwise impacted small businesses from failing.

We want to idealize the person who starts out in a fast food restaurant, learns discipline and organizational skills, and moves on to higher paying work. Several decades of data have shown us this is a nice theory that fails in practice in most cases. Those people remain stuck and that is bad for economic growth in addition to causing needless suffering. Keeping the minimum wage low hasn't solved this problem and won't solve it in the future.

> …lower impedance inputs of a pure tube stage…

I don’t know what your idea of “lower impedance” but a pure tube stage has an input impedance that measures close to open. Off the range of my multimeter, I bet. You just see the Miller capacitance and with the grid-plate somewhere around 1.6pF and maybe 20dB gain, it’s not a lot. The input impedance of the guitar amp is usually dominated by the 1 MΩ resistor to ground, and the tube barely registers because the input impedance of a preamp tube is so high. This is usually considered “high impedance” (as opposed to “ultra high” like you see in a piezo amp, which might run 10 MΩ).

It is very common to see solid-state equipment with lower input impedances, especially guitar pedals.

There’s a lot of weird voodoo electronics repeated around guitarist’s forums so you got to watch out. Just quick fact check: small tubes = high impedance input, in most normal configurations, normal operating conditions (cathode is positive relative to grid).

Just as another point of reference—this is why you hear about “tube microphones”. These microphones have a vacuum tube inside them as a preamp / buffer, and the reason you might want to use a tube for these applications is precisely because the input impedance is so high. When they moved away from tube mics what you see replacing them is something like a FET, possibly bootstrapped, to try and replicate the naturally high impedance of a tube.
This answer is probably biased by what I’ve needed to use recently, but I think spectral methods are the most generally useful. E.g. spectra of symmetric matrices, SVD, Courant-Fischer theorem. You may not need this in all of, or even most of, practical ML, but knowing these things are prerequisites in my mind for understanding PCA, CCA, LDA/QDA, multivariate Gaussians (which are foundational in probabilistic interpretations of ML), and covariance. A good understanding of inner products also conditions you to understanding kernels better.

You need something a bit different for SVMs. The linear algebra there is basically the geometry of planes and half spaces. Also for optimization you need some different things, but those are typically taught under the moniker of convex analysis, not linear algebra.

In specific, my approach to many multivariate estimation problems starts with “take the SVD, are there any properties you can use afterwards?”
Yes. Petrol is "gas" in the US. And Canada too maybe?
Adding to this, at least the station I worked at used the tank temperature to adjust for density changes. You were buying 1L at 20C, so in the middle of winter when the fuel was 10C, you'd get a slightly smaller volume since the density increased. And slightly more volume during summer.
Those are all controlled by three companies, at most: Google (Meet, Hangouts, Allo, Duo), Microsoft (Lync, Skype, Skype for Business, Teams), and whatever company controls "Messages".
