'inverted' might be a slightly better descriptor than 'flipped', but still, my left hand is on the left in the mirror as well, but it's still the mirror person's right hand.

and your distinction of 'real' vs 'conceptual' relative to paradoxes doesn't make sense. a paradox is real because it's conceptual, as paradoxes are relative to humans (or more generally, earthly life).

How is this an Alexa knockoff when it doesn't include any home automation features?
A fundamental right to own your data. I think the U.K. is going in a good direction with their laws but the compliance portion of their laws are too weak. If a company won’t give you your data the executives should go to jail, otherwise with only fines it’s just a pay-to-play crime scheme.
One of the first things mentioned was the reduced noise due to improved cooling. I think you're echoing the most common criticism of its predecessor.
Yes. That’s exactly what it was.
This is why we need to get rid of all deductions/credits/exemptions. If the society wants to incentivize something, the government can pay cash for it and account for it properly.
> I've only ever known the Z axis to represent depth. Be it maths, physics or software development

A standard math textbook will usually show the x-axis pointing toward the reader, the y-axis pointing right, and the z-axis pointing up. Something like this:

z
|_
/ y
x

Similarly, if you're defining a cone or a spiral or what have you, you'll usually do it in terms of an r/θ/z coordinate system, where z is height. So the convention exists.

But obviously where the x and y axes are defined, the z axis will be perpendicular to the x-y plane.
I disagree with your input about adding affiliate links, because I think that they would end up working contrary to the goal of this project. Sellers constantly reuse listings to sell updated versions of their products, with variable results. This is a huge issue with Amazon listings.

OP lets you add an affiliate link to order Graeter's ice cream. There's 20 years of 5-star aggregate reviews and a link to go buy it, so you do. But in year 21, Graeter's changed their all-sugar formula to corn syrup, and now you falsely believe that the aggregated five-star rating is supposed to apply to the corn syrup formula.

If one is designing for a lasting product review, the information needs to be snapshotted at a certain point in time- ie "In 2020, this part number from this company was constructed well." Modern listings may reflect the 2020+ product, rather than the 2020 construction that got the good reviews.
mad props, this is extremely cool. i only wish i had it ten years ago so i wouldn't have my crap spread across one more system.
> Celery allows users to schedule tasks in the future with a countdown or ETA. Our heavy use of these countdowns resulted in noticeable load increases on the broker. Some of our outages were directly related to an increase in tasks with countdowns. Celery allows users to schedule tasks in the future with a countdown or ETA. Our heavy use of these countdowns resulted in noticeable load increases on the broker. Some of our outages were directly related to an increase in tasks with countdowns. We ultimately decided to restrict the use of countdowns in favor of another system we had in place

How this problem of scheduled /delayed tasks was solved after moving to Kafka? The another system they mentioned, is something else entirely than the solution proposed in the post?

I don't see any data in the article to backup these "lessons learned." Seems like you just chose to write whatever you think makes a good marketing email without any data.
> Paradoxes are about appearing, at first thought, to be impossible, not it being literally impossible.

That's not true, or at least it's not the whole truth. Real paradoxes do exist: A barber shaves everyone who doesn't shave themselves, who shaves the barber?

So if true paradoxes do exist, it seems fair to call out alleged paradoxes for not truly being paradoxes.

You don't need a warrant to get personal information held by third parties who willingly hand it over. The IRS isn't in the wrong here legally. If Congress actually cared they'd enact real data privacy laws with teeth.
I suppose the poster you're reply to is floating the idea of something like TLS on top of this protocol...
Yes. Usually, the right-hand rule is followed. A positive rotation is from the positive x axis toward the positive y axis. If you curl the fingers of your right hand in that direction, then the thumb points along the positive z axis.

Yeah, I was expecting to see a blog post about raspberry pi speech recognition. I was hoping it wasn't just another "look, Ma, I did speech recognition! (By sending everything to <cloud API>)" but I was prepared to be disappointed on that front because such posts are endemic these days. Turns out, it didn't engage with speech recognition at all, which was even more jarring.

Speaking of rpi offline speech recognition, is Jasper still the go-to? If you're willing to spring for one of the shiny new nvidia SBCs, is there an open source option that can take advantage of their power (with lower effort than "glue everything together manually with tensorflow")?

Am I the only one who gets halfway through this and gets bombed with malware pop-ups?

In general I'm cynical about any big breakthroughs which aren't actually in production. Too many steps between the lab and manufacture. I'm not sure what their definition of "Production" is, but in my book production means it's in a customer's product on it's way to the end user. That's clearly not the case here.

This all seems sketchy enough, the sketchy advertising just completely sinks it for me.
Mirrors don't flip anything. They change direction of photons.
Trow a ball on a wall at an angle it bounces of at the same angle there is no flipping.
Write a word on a paper with fresh paint then press in on a wall then remove it. The word on the wall is exactly want you pressed on the wall it didn't flip the paint you did when you flipped the paper.
It is exhausting.

To be fair to the article writer, I too write for non-technical audiences with the idea that they are sitting next to me and we are having a friendly conversation. It helps the writer's block.

I for one dreamed of becoming an astronaut and spending some time on the Moon. I still do.
I’ve always liked how Sony’s consoles had the power supply integrated, but in this case I’d rather keep it out of the case. This console is just too big to hide in my current living room setup and too ugly for my taste to display it. I was going to preorder it but I’m going to wait and see it in person first.
Indeed, like we physically did with the piece of paper, we have mentally chosen to think of our image in the mirror as like ourself but turned horizontally (around the verticle axis) to face us - ending up flipped left-to-right.

If we instead think of our image as like ourselves but turned vertically (around the horizontal axis) - like you lept headfirst into the mirror and landed upright on your head - then you'll find that your left and right sides are the correct way round but the image is vertically flipped. It's very hard to think this way because (a) we're mostly symmetric horizontally, certainly a lot more than vertically, and (b) we very often interact with other people that have turned horizontally (around the verticle axis) to face us but very rarely interact with other people that have turned vertically to face us.

Another aspect that makes this hard mentally is that if you have any identifying non-symmetrical features, like birthmarks, then they appear horizontally flipped in the mirror compared to photographs. Again, it's the photograph that's turned incorrectly. This one is particularly hard to sell, because surely a photo with a ground at the top can't be the right way round? The answer is, for the purpose of matching your left and right, the "correct" way round is for the photo to face away from you. Makes logical sense, but very unintuitive.
> The Kafka-consumer process is responsible for fetching messages from Kafka, and placing them on a local queue that is read by the task-execution processes

Ah, yep, as usual you end up with a queue for your queue because Kafka isn't actually a queue in the first place. This is why I recommend Kafka for _data_, rabbit for _tasks_. The article doesn't really explain how this works, but I'm guessing that one service holds commands in memory, then sends http messages to the workers. As they noted, you end up with lost tasks on restart, and that's the big gaping hole that a lot of people would not want to fall into - your mileage may vary. I assume the kafka reader service has to also track how busy each worker is, also lost on restart.
If an anti-immigration admin makes a move that seems pro-immigration, be suspicious. At the very least it is only pro-corporate.
Not orthogonal. Being a pro means you can practice all day, you get to work with other working musicians, you grind away doing gig stuff which really expands your chops.

I agree music is accessible in a different way today, but kids used to grow up in musical families, and there were a lot of them.

My entire, large, family plays music. And played together. Tons of people used to play piano, guitar, fiddle, it was not inaccessible or elite. Instruments have been cheaply available for decades.

Also - time. People are constantly busy these days and hugely distracted. Eddie Van Halen literally got good by spending years and years alone, isolated in his room practising. So while that has nothing to do with pro/not-pro, it's definitely a cultural artifact.
Kicking Off a Meaningful Relationship with a Strong First Communication
Is there a reason that USB isn't adopting those techniques? Too much compute required? Four pair cabling is prohibitively more expensive in this niche?
Apart from the many valid reasons given in the other comments:

GA is free. Hosting an open source alternative would need time, effort (to understand the new environment) and money. There is a reason people outsource tasks that are not core to their skillset. Cause, the expenditure will be significant and result will not be half as good. Same reason we do not host mail servers though much easier self hosting options are now popping up and wonderfully maintained. A good business will always find ways to trim the fat and play to their strengths.

But much much more importantly, GA has billions of pages of free documentation (aka blogposts) for every task a business needs. If you are stuck with a problem, there is a huge community of people to reach out to and the answer is somewhere out there (Or you just learn to live with it, just as everyone else. You are not conceding any advantage to the business competitor). On the other hand, the open source alternatives have not yet benefited from the adoption of such a massive community, yet. It is very important to have some early adopters, who can show exactly how the end user can replicate the workflow they have setup in GA in the open source software.

* Then, for existing businesses, there is also the problem of sunken cost and huge amounts of existing data in GA that they cannot abandon.

* Then there is the thought process that exists in online communities on the value of accumulating data and how it can add value to their business. So, we will need to break them out of the FOMO on GA.
Ever try fakespot?
Agreed. The AWS developer docs are great but the first few chapters in e.g. SQS and SNS were "here's how to do it manually". Cloudformation is more of an appendix. Though, devils advocate, if they all started with "install Terraform" that might be a tall order and put people off.

We recently looked into AWS MSK (managed Kafka). Many of the crucial tasks, such as creation of topics, were more or less left as an exercise to the reader with some pretty distant dots to join.

If they'd been forced to explain how to automate all the necessary tasks in MSK, they might have had to make better tools. Or we might have given up on it sooner.
Generally speaking, you have to divorce the first one before you marry the second.
With the trend being remote right now, the first thing that pops in my mind is that this policy change will lead to the offshoring of more jobs.

It could also lead to more jobs moving to the Midwest away from higher cost of living areas.
That's true. The original contract manufacturer for Dr Martens, Solovair, is still making their own shoe designs in the same factory in England though.

If you want a nice pair of monkey boots, Solovair are the guys to go and see not Dr Martens.

These are exactly the sort of small manufacturers I like to know about and this is an interesting project to find them.

If you're going to get something once it's nice to find a firm that actually does both the design and the manufacture in their own factories even if you pay a small premium over a generic knock off.
I don't think doctors are a useful analogy for software developers. You mention doctors, then people are going to say "we need licensing for software developers" (which for the majority of programming jobs is silly IMO), and the conversation goes off the rails. Doctors are an unusual profession, leave it at that.
I think their point was that there are very few jobs even in the bay area paying $300k or more.

I think you are a bit off the mark on this line. (mostly agree with the rest of your post)

Google's goal was to make a white-room implementation of java that was 100% api compatible. This was explicitly to avoid licensing Java while still being Java compatible.

I'm one of those people; I enjoy seeing teardowns of most new products, to see the tradeoffs inside.

I'm guessing Sony wants to get ahead of iFixit's snarky (but entertaining) teardowns, and the like.

Being first matters a lot for unboxings, teardowns, etc. (assuming you can also get a wide audience in that first post).
It seems you’re arguing for “consistency”. That doesn’t make sense. In that view if only colonialists had been allowed the US policy would be consistent because it never let immigrants in (noting that as a colonizer you’d be a subject of the crown which in name ruled whatever lands they had dominion over).

They said, a nation with self determination can decide what it wants according to its laws. It’s that simple.

Can you define formula in a spreadsheet so that by entering old wages for any new state, predictions are populated?
well that's the thing, Google isn't even asking for the verification code anymore. Somehow I'm still logged in on my other device, I'll use that as a sign of luck and migrate all of my data to a new account while I can. Will also try to rely less on Google for instance. Would also need to start receiving mails from my old email address. The worst part though, the moment I logged in with my new account to my old Macbook Pro, it treated it perfectly fine and rather said that my other device (the new Macbook Pro from which I was locked out in the first place) is suspicious or something without any rhyme or reason. I've checked all of my apps, extensions and everything, it's all legit.
Guess Google simply sucks since it doesn't even provide customer support in this matter.
And then there is also the distinction between maliciously defaming someone, and passing on things you heard in good faith.

No, there isn't, morally or legally.

If you make defamatory statements, it doesn't matter whether you made them up or simply heard someone else say them and are just passing them along. It's still defamatory, and that's how US law treats such statements (and how it has always treated defamatory statements).

Truth is the defense to a defamation lawsuit, not "a little bird told me."

TLDR: unless you actually know that Bob is a pedo because you witnessed his crimes or he has been convicted, don't defame Bob.

I think people should accept the fact of life that stolen goods will be used one way or another anyway. I think good compromise is to make sure phone reset wipes all data irrecoverably. Rather than fighting the effect, maybe we should address why people steal and why government is ineffective at catching them (but seems to be doing just fine catching students relaxing with a wrong kind of plant)
Everyone seems to have forgotten that Sun licensed Java under an open license that would have allowed Google to use these interfaces without issue, if they had met certain criteria for supporting the full Java platform. Google essential thought "Well, we have too much bloat, and these parts are totally unneeded in our platform, so we're going to strip them out."

Oracle's lawsuit is so bad-faith it is laughable.

> I find that it is helped by haviing a conceptual structure or mental model which allows slotting new concepts from unrelated areas into a larger whole.

I very much agree. In fact, I think discovering new mental models is one of the best ways to come to new understandings about things. My entire stance on topics has changed in the past when I found on revisiting it I now had a mental model that I thought applied better/more closely than the ones available previously, and looking at the topic from that new perspective yielded a different opinion.
Things are always changing and I'd be curious what you're basing that claim on.

Nothing is preventing spouses from applying for H1B or other Visas, they key debate with the H-4 Visa is the spouses needed to work to afford to live in the areas. This just highlights the absurdity of the income levels in the H1B program. H1B is a temporary work Visa, everyone that has applied should understand there might be restrictions for yourself or your dependents until your family has a green card.
Exactly, eliminate tax shelters too! Expose the true financial reality to the tax system and a more equitable taxation policy can emerge. Although you'll have to mitigate a subset of people passing their income through foreign banks.

>GNU Smalltalk turned out to be the perfect dialect for this first contact with Smalltalk, offering a very traditional command-line experience. And Vim provided the syntax highlighting I needed to write those initial lines of code.

Sorry, but if you're using VIM and command line, you're missing all of the best parts of Smalltalk. It's like trying to learn HTML/CSS by designing web pages in Word.

If you want to see what the fuss is really all about, you should download a standalone Pharo VM and latest stable image: https://pharo.org/download

It instantly gives you everything you need to learn and develop things with a modern IDE. It has Playground (better REPL), the famed debugger, the code explorer and a bunch of other things.

Then listen to MOOC: http://mooc.pharo.org/

>The internet has also been able to allow people to get lies out, and made it easier to disguise lies as truth.

That's the beauty of the internet. In antiquated media pretty much ran unopposed publishing mostly left-leaning bias. Afterall, social sciences tend to lean left.

What the internet did is allow said antiquated media to continue posting their lies. However, it also allowed the entire spectrum of discussion to happen. Some will be lies, but the truth will be among. The beauty of the internet is that the truth can be discovered.

Even better, on subjective topics where one cannot find the truth. You can have long form discussions where consensus can be discovered. You don't have that in the antiquated media.

I wonder if this is at all related to the common pairing of citrus fruits with psychedelic drugs.
