I am seriously considering putting together a tiny trackpad to have it located someplace between the two halves of my Sinc. It does seem there are some tiny trackpads for sale, but in the end they all seem a bit too big. I really just want to be able to scroll up / down left right and drag things. Maybe trackpoint could help idk

I am completely with you. It is even surprising that none of them wants to get the, let's call it patriotic part of French Amazon customers.

But they indeed all rate much worse than Amazon
Amazon prime creates bad shopping habits and Amazon needs to be responsible for the extra emissions and returns.
Darktable, the free photo postprocessing software, lets you assign a hotkey to pretty much any slider (there are many sliders in darktable). While pressing the hotkey, the mouse wheel adjusts the slider, regardless of whether it's currently visible or not.
Most often the audio cable carries serial port signals (not proper RS232 afaict but logically a com port). Splicing in a pedal should be doable, as long as you don't press it simultaneously with a key on the "remote" part of the split keyboard.
Put that coffee down! Coffee is for closers only.
I think this is probably the best argument against platforms with locked app stores- civil liberties. The only reason that Belarus can ask Apple to ask (force) Telegram to do this, is because there is no reasonable alternative for most people to get an application onto their phone. If I could easily install other app stores onto my phone, then government requests like this would not be effective.
Heck, I once bought two folding cushion "stools" that could be unfolded into "ground sofas" (for lack of a better word) from IKEA.

Delivered by "Trusk". They were left with the building caretaker who just signed without checking.

We only got one. And IKEA won't do anything, because we can't prove we didn't receive the second one and aren't just fraudulently asking for a freebie.

Never got these kind of issues with anything sold by Amazon. Only time a package went missing, despite "La Poste" stating the contrary, they just re-delivered it without a fuss.
The context of my comment was that cars used to pretty regularly leak oil to some degree so oil could get low on long drives.

As the sibling comment said, oil changes are (mostly) distance based although, arguably, various commercial interests suggest oil changes more frequently than they are needed. But, if you drive 15,000 miles a year (as is common in the US), you probably want to change your oil more than once a year in any case.
> Wages are generally lower in non bay area locations. Employers in low COL areas might lose out to those in high COL areas.

Well what is the goal of immigration? Having more immigrants in high COL areas would maximize taxes paid by immigrants, which seems like one reasonable goal.
TN visa will not be affected. It's in place due to the NAFTA trade agreement between Canada, US and Mexico. Despite all the rhetoric from Trump about cancelling it, it was renewed a few years ago without any, or possibly only minor, changes to the TN visa. So that category should be fine for the foreseeable future.

Shifting the moral responsibility from the human/user/corporation to the technology itself seems illogical.

Democratization might work, but isn't there a risk for the user to corrupt its intended purpose due to the inherent darkness of human nature?

Ex: Initial intents of democratizing knowledge (Google) or social networks (Facebook) both ultimately ended up corroding society with misinformation, fueled by human greed in the ad industry.

What do you say of missiles, and as extension, nuclear weapons? Do you want dictatorships to have them as well? They will ultimately, but we cannot control their use for deterrence or destruction (MAD policy).
Let me fix that :

Software Engineer Salaries in New York – Range Distribution of 1000+ Data Points
Someone (Knuth?) said there are only 2% students in any CS class who are good. I worked as a CS TA as well, and I found that to be true. The top 2% of students already had practical skills (shell, vim, git, networking, etc), usually because they've been coding since they were 12 and learned by doing cool projects. Sometimes I saw bright students without prior experience picking up those skills quickly (much quicker than I did).
You're right. I just tried this, into Japanese:

"I cannot believe you would say that to me."

It came up with:

私にそんなことを言うなんて信じられないわ

Holy crap, complete with a disparaging なんて, and a nice わ sentence-ender to make it a feminine sounding complaint.

I'm almost sensing like the thing is tying to tell me, "here is how your boring English sounds if it is turned into line from a J-drama."

Was this trained using subtitle databases, I wonder. It's as if a mediocre English subtitle was found, similar to my text, and the corresponding original line had been retrieved.
Well, that seems cool, but isn't indexing from zero simpler?

I don't really remember if zero-indexing was a big deal when I was learning to program. Are there big advantages for non-programmers? I figure that's why Lua went the 1-index route.
Highly depends on the sellers and general market in your country, I suspect. In India, Amazon was good early on until it attracted scammers and painful customers.

Customer support switched to Indian contractor companies and it is not as nice anymore. Reviews became useless and downright harmful. I have gotten many incorrect items from their fulfilment program in the last 2 years. I never got any before it.
You cant do that in most European countries as the trigger will need to remain engaged for the valve to stay open. So you just stand there holding the pump handle bored the entire time. I get its more safe but I wish we had the same system as they do in the US
Make, probably not..

But at that price point just get a used Helix LT which will be light years ahead of anything you can bodge together.

This is one of those areas where both the hardware AND the software really matter.

You can't touch the available hardware because of economies of scale - they're buying DSP chips, enclosures, power supplies, by the thousand at least.

And they have multi-person full time teams working on the software.
Aren't all startup business models "broken" (unprofitable) in the early stages? That's why they require so much investor money to grow to the point of profit.
Most people, including guitar players, can't tell the difference between popular modelling devices and real tube amps when subject to a real blind-test.

The of neural networks in this field should be measured against current modelling technology, not real hardware.
As already mentioned you don't eat tomato for calories. Main use is flavor (caveat: cheap application of tomato is the "Holländische Wasserbomben" as the Germans call it which is good sale if you sell per weight. Works with ignorant customers who require just "tomatoes").

3 almonds are equivalent to 1 tomato according to this Mother Jones article (2014) [1].

AFAIK our almonds here in NL are imported, while we are known for our tomato export.

So why don't tech companies pay out to their shareholders so that they can use that money to invest in other companies?
Doesn't matter. If I got a large chunk of the long-term payoff, I'd care about tackling those problems. The issue is incentive, not the difficulty of the work.
I’m really happy to see publication of a study that did not confirm a hypothesis. I think it’s important to see things that we tried that didn’t work out, as well as seeing studies that confirm hypotheses.
I've been putting off learning Webpack for far too long.

Can anyone provide some kind of a syllabus to help me figure out what there is to learn about it, starting from almost no knowledge at all?

I feel like it's a critical enough piece of modern web infrastructure that it's worth me taking the time to fully understand how to use it and what it's capable of.
Was expecting visuals but all I got was a bunch of paragraphs..
It's not that weird when you consider that most of us are descended from agriculturalists, where that pattern has prevailed since the dawn of civilization (proper).

Hunter-gatherers have patterns we can also describe as hierarchical as well, but it's meaningfully different.

Given the cultural, and possibly even genetic, coevolution of this strategy, bosses are going to be 'sticky'.

If real world reviews confirm the previews I’ve encountered, that’ll be the one for me. It really seems phenomenal.
Nah.

San Fran also has rent control, good weather, and high income jobs.

But while Prop 13 also affects politics around new construction, it's a far reach to use its long term effects on voter behavior to associate general concepts of lower taxes and less regulation with higher rents or lower wages.

Notably, it's a law that taxes people unequally.
Precisely. If I fast for 16 hours it does not do much. As a male in early 40s I have to hit atleast 18-20 hours of fasting to start seeing a difference. I have to restrict sugar intake also during the 4-5 hour eating window.
Is it really that surprising though? Reciprocal altruism is a part of human nature. We give other individuals stuff they want so they will give us stuff we want. At the end of the day the economy and financial system are just a big layer of indirection in the process. Now whether you call your bosses "customers" or "managers" or "the board," at the end of the day it doesn't surprise me that much that everyone answers to someone.
No, all calories are not the same. The basic process for measurements is "burn it, measure the energy output". " Burning" as in "gas flame, high heat, oxygenated atmosphere". This is something your body doesn't do, even if you supposedly "burn" calories. Your body uses different reactions that are often less efficient, meaning the energy output will be different from the calories measured. Nowadays some of those errors are corrected for, but not all of them. And depending on your personal metabolism, from genetics, daily changes and nutrient status, your body will be less or more efficient with some foods.
Why not buy something more durable instead of buying the same phone 3 times? Something with a replaceable battery for instance.
Non-transistor electronics relies on Maxwell's Equations. While not Newtonian mechanics, it is part of classical (pre-Einstein) physics.
How do you detect it without ruining the performance of the fast path? Seems like you need to make some kind of assumption. Perhaps in the number of columns in each row. But then what happens if you need to parse data with a different number of columns in some row? (Which is not that uncommon.)

The problem with csv is that many people consuming it don't actually choose that format. They have to parse what they are given.
There's several Youtube Videos on restoring old computers including the CoCo, most of them come with plenty of commentary on parts that tend to fail or should be replaced regardless of if they are working now or not. I think one of the better ones for this is Adrian's Digital Basement.

And also you are in luck there was a big "SepTandy" push last month among a lot of those classic computer channels featuring Tandy computers including the CoCo, so the odds of finding up-to-date information is really good.
Hey, saw your comments a couple of weeks ago on the wavenetVA repo, this is looking great! Will try training spring reverb and analog tape, those have been pretty hard to model with DSP.

Also, what do you think about diffwave? Only seen speech examples so far but seems an order of magnitude faster than wavenet.

Non-violence is only effective where the oppressor is vulnerable to moral pressure. In many cases, the oppressor is not.

Many of the tech companies you see today wouldn’t exist, if the US policies allowed monopolies to exist unchecked.
They compared a low FAT diet to a low CARB diet. The almond angle looks like a gimmick. We already know how bad sugar is. It seems like this study is trying to attribute all of the benefits of going low-carb to almond supplementation.
Public opinion on Brutalism isn't enough to stay the wrecking ball
Fair enough. Although if that site is Reddit, that includes a lot of information about my preferences for many things.
...except it barely more of a 16 bit processor than a Z80, and had 8 bit instructions, extendable to longer, like the Z80. Aside from the 20 bit addressing and 16 bit offset, the 8088 and Z80 were equivalent.

Or should we call the Z80 a 16 bit processor?
Exactly? Why does Apple get to moderate Telegram's users?

If you let a communication app onto your platform, you are letting people use that to communicate. It is not up to apple to moderate telegram. It is up to telegram.

If apple wanted to, they could argue "Telegram is so badly moderated we want them off our platform". But that is very different from saying "If you do not take these specific moderation actions, we will kick you off our platform". Unless telegram was already on very thin ice with Apple, this is a massive over-reach by Apple.
Almonds are ~9% or so of our ag water supply, feed for meat and meat products use 50%+ of our ag water supply.

Note that agricultural water use is ~40% of water use.

Also note that California produces 80% of the world's almonds, but something like 1% of the world's meat.

It's not even sensible to discuss almonds in the face of water use for meat production. As long as your calories are filtered through another mammal, it will always be extremely inefficient.
Ah yeah, those are zero allocation. A copy is always made to account for quoting/escaping. You can implement a zero copy csv parser, but at some point you have to deal with quoting. The csv crate chooses to eagerly deal with it, always.
They should re-do the test with recent PA amps from e.g. Crown or QSC. Those have now reached ridiculous levels of technological sophistication. They're light, powerful, indestructible, and can carry any load you plug into them. And in a blind test with good speakers they will sound better than anything "high end". Oh and they're almost always under $1K, with brownout inducing 2KW+ units below $2K.

If it's high fidelity sound reproduction you're after (rather than just "pleasant" coloration), today's upscale studio and live gear can't be beat IMO.
My sleep got royal screwed during the summer and I'm trying to get back to at least some sort of stable baseline. Probably a few months ago I managed to get myself on a biphasic sleep schedule. It probably would have worked if I had more flexibility in my schedule.

Quoting Wikipedia:

I think it's more to highlight the fact that there are differing opinions, and American sensibilities shouldn't necessarily dictate what people in separate countries can do. I see no mention of popularity.
Oh dear, I just had a flashback to the "handwriting" on the Palm Pilot.
You’re missing my point. If you’re targeting Python then you need Python installed however you don’t always know where that executable might live. Whereas if you’re targeting shell scripts then you can always fallback to regular Bourne shell if you need portability and that should always have an executable or simlink in /bin/sh.

The Python 2 problem is a whole other topic :)
One is where you get paid, the other is where you volunteer to not get paid (well, not nearly as much). Hence, the use of the word 'service'.

It does differ by region and time, though.

Still, great observation.
I don't know about you, but I would be quite fond of making a copy (or multiple) of me iff it seems that they would have a pleasant subjective experience.

It won't do anything directly for the copy/instance of the 'present-me' that would stay in my body, but indirectly it does raise some positive expectations for me. Perhaps it's because of some alignment with our instincts for raising children, perhaps because of some instincts for strengthening a like-minded tribe (what could be more like-minded than a copy of you), perhaps for some other reason I don't understand, but the feeling certainly is there that I would prefer having some additional instances/copies of me existing in the universe. It's not very strong, certainly not on the strength of self-preservation or preventing harm to my loved ones, not a strong desire but more like a preference - but still positive, like, I'd do that if it doesn't cost too much.

On the other hand, e.g. sharing half of my wealth or half of the time with my spouse would definitely be too much, so probably that would be a sufficient reason not to make copies unless they'd be living in a virtual world wher they could get the things they want without a need for scarce resources - which raises the question whether copies of me would actually have a pleasant subjective experience given these constraints.
I think it’s more if 5.0.0 doesn’t work the first time, you could simply let the community find those issues for you and by 5.0.xx it will mostly likely cover your specific setup (except for the documented api changes)
In France the only problem I've ever had that was arguably Amazon's fault was a broken glass item (arguably because it's really down to the container used by the manufacturer and the thing being broken anywhere from packaging in China to my postbox, the Amazon packaging wasn't bad).

Everything else was 100% down to the manufacturer or negligent Marketplace seller.

I have tons of valid complaints about the shitty search engine, the poor quality of filters, the dark patterns pushing shit and the over-abundance of third-party Chinese crap, but Amazon still is more reliable and friction-less than the vast majority of e-tailers.

This being said the other sites have gotten much better (not much choice), to the point Amazon isn't my one-stop-shop anymore (as it would have been five or ten years ago).
I can easily tell the difference using good headphones. You just need to know what to look for. Once you know, you can't help but notice. The difference is the transients, especially the cymbals and the snare. If it's muddy, you're listening to compressed audio.
I have never seen a nozzle without a latch in Europe, however, 90% don’t work and just unlatch immediately.
Thats my point you don't need a new phone every two years, at three years I notice a slight decrease in battery life, I would imagine it will keep being useful for another two easily and I could take somewhere to get a new battery if I really wanted.

On the other hand I have old windows phone devices that had replaceable batteries I never utilized as they stopped updating the software after a year. Sounds like the Android side is similar. My Apple device have been some of the longest lived useful computing devices I have used even with the difficult to replace battery.
Apple could still retain the capability to delete malicious apps from phones (even apps that weren't installed via the App Store).

Presumably Belarus would then make a demand that Apple delete Telegram from people's phones as it is "malicious", but I'd hope that forcing a company to delete things from someone's phone is legally harder than forcing them to hide things on their own servers.

Are these bugs documented anywhere? A glance at the issue tracker doesn't seem to reflect this claim.
We still don't know much about some regions not that far: just think about the bottom of oceans, some caves all around, ... There is still much to discover! And for an average person, central Russia, central America, large parts of Australia, Greenland, ... are a huge mystery.
New truth: at sensible bit rates, most people cannot differentiate mp3s and wav in double blind tests. New truth: at very high bit rates, almost nobody can.
But it goes way deeper than just grants. Who will get tenure for example? Citations and publication counts are used for many many things. Also, making your findings sexy is not just done to improve metrics for promotion and grants. Sexy research also draws attention among experts and lay media alike. They will be invited to give talks at conferences and seminars etc. more if their findings are exciting.

I rely heavily on whiteboarding for planning architectures and just organizing my thoughts, and trying to transpose that to remote work and virtual whiteboards has not been easy.

There’s usually a little latch on the handle that you can engage so that the valve stays open and you can let go then. No need to keep glued to the pump, even in Europe.

You should still watch the pump though - you’re handling flammable substances.
Out of curiosity is patching and updating all packages also a common consistent issue? Is there regularly breaking changes?
