Well sure, but there are plenty of less-risky outdoor activities during a pandemic.
AB5 was done by legislators, not voters.
Makes sense. Thanks for explaining.
I stopped using Adobe software long ago, once they moved subscription. That being said, keygens for CS3 probably still work fine since they generated activation codes too, and if you own it legally, you're probably well in the clear to use a keygen to activate it in the case Adobe won't.
Your comment is rather disingenuois and naive. If you have any experience whatsoever with AWS you wouldbe fully aware that AWS quite vocally advertises that reliability is the responsibility of the customer,not theirs. Theygo even further by stating in their "well-architected framework" that it's on you to handle redundancy with multiple deployments across separate availability zones. So your baseless assertions fly in the face of reason once you actually lay attention to the operational side, because as it's easy to see and understand it makes absolutely no difference if you parrot keywords all day because in the end reliability is on you, and if it's up to you anyway then that is not an argument in favour of vendor lock-in.
Pure context-free meanings-based translator would just pick a random word from the list, like "kauppammekinkohan" and translate it rightaway: "i wonder if our shops also might be ..".
So does this mean it'll be more economical for me to just rent cars again and drive myself whenever I fly to California?
This is pretty amazing, so glad you posted it. It has layer blending options and shadow/highlights, two feature I can't live without and are often missing in free editors. The menus are exactly like photoshop. And finally an API that lets you save/load PSD/images to and from cloud storage.

CS3 was in 2007. It's not like we're talking about an IBM 709 here. It's probably a Core 2 Duo or a Clovertown Xeon. Give me a break.

When producing digital goods you never want to be in a position where honest people who want to pay you money will get a better customer experience by going through thepiratebay.

That's not how the DMCA works. Circumventing these measure is completely illegal. It's just that doing it on your own software is very unlikely to have anyone find out.

But it's a problem for researchers, who generally want to publish their findings (or at least was the last time I was really paying attention to the law in the early to mid 00s).
The use cases for Istio/Envoy or any other Service Mesh is that they comprise a set of far higher-level capabilities. Routing Policy Enforcement, mTLS, Circuit Breakers, Certificate Management, Traffic Tracing and Visualization, and many many more features [0][1].

I love me some HAProxy too, but it only operates at the level of a single service/backend group or lists of relatively independent services/backend groups. Services Meshes intend to make deploying dozens, hundreds, thousands of complex services in cohesive and consistent fashions such that they form one or more applications or APIs.

How do these work? Is it like going to the tiny settings menu and swapping the source on a monitor? I know the HDMI standard includes a way for an input to "request" a source to switch to it, are monitors with multiple inputs smarter about that sort of thing?
$600 a year isn't particularly expensive (that's for Creative Cloud).

Roughly $0.30 an hour vs whatever wage is being paid to click the buttons.

It's not cheap, but it's not something businesses are going to balk at either. They are showing healthy growth in revenue:

So apparently lots of their users are not concerned about their change to the pricing model and increased cost of use?
If you’re tired of this like me, Blackmagic Design sells their editing/postproduction/color suite Davinci Resolve for a one-time purchase price, no subscription.

Pixelmator is a lovely replacement for Photoshop, too.
I don't disagree, and building battery packs for battlebots was a fun experiential way to learn this, but it is important to match chemistries. Chargers for nickel-metal-hydride batteries won't correctly charge lithium-ion batteries, or worse nickel-cadmium batteries. Not to mention that some battery packs (the ones in the Thinkpad come to mind) have a "battery monitor IC" actually built into the battery pack so it helps to start with an existing pack and then "re-manufacture" it with cells rather than just wire together the same number of cells.

Perhaps to most critical element in these "smart" batteries is the temperature sensor which dials back the current when they start getting hot to avoid thermal runaway. (source of MANY battery fires in laptops from counterfeit battery packs).

As for matching the cells, in our battlebot we would take each "unit" (which in our case was 20 NiMH batteries) and condition it by draining it and charging it in cycles while monitoring voltages to level out the batteries and "sync" their charge levels. We still ended up with a couple of fires but that was because we were charging them right at the limit of what is reasonable to do because the time between bouts could be pretty short.
I can't give you direct recommendations, but it does sound like you might have used Provisioned IOPS storage instead of General Purpose storage which is simply pay by the byte.

If you're willing to post a bit more details, I'm sure people could give you some more detailed options. You basically switched from a fully-managed database solution to a fully DIY solution, and I honestly think you might have just over provisioned the RDS instance. I'm willing to bet you can switch back to RDS and get all the benefits there while remaining within budget. You can get a 1-year reserved t3.medium RDS instance with 50 GB of storage for $40/month.
...just thought I'd mention here that I have my contact information in mine.
They don't have jobs now, not while these companies defy AB5.
I was, however, able to install Adobe/Macromedia Dreamweaver 8 on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS from the original install disks with the original serial numbers. On Windows 7, some update broke SFTP, and I had to give up on it on Windows. SFTP works fine under Wine. So I can maintain some old sites created with Dreamweaver.
I always say this whenever this comes up, but, the number of duis since Uber has been operating have dropped precipitously. I don’t want to be on California roads late at night without Uber.
I’m no designer, but my previous workflows relied quite a bit on core functionality found in versions of CS going back to at least CS3. I’ve used CS3, CS4, CS6, and more recently CC. I only used CC because CS6 no longer worked on macOS, and I only used CS6 because I couldn’t get a legit older version (also student discount).

I found it to be a treadmill - the prices went up until Adobe decided that you could no longer purchase anything outright and now had to rent it. Newer versions looked prettier, but the performance and stability dropped.

I’d reckon that the vast majority of people using CC would be happy with an older version and just as productive. CC6 and later are resource hogs that are constantly calling home. Today, I’d be hard pressed to choose CC over a pirated copy or other alternative, and I’ve known a few designers that stuck with cracked copies of CS.
Being a PostDoc isn't an endpoint. Heck, being a non-tenure track professor is not an endpoint. It's just licensed intellectual slavery.
> To make it even more confusing, ReasonML technically isn't dead (only Reasonml.org is) and is now a third syntax (in addition to rescript and ocaml).

It is?! I thought I was following the changes there - clearly I was mistaken
Thanks for the insight, that sounds very promising! Right now I'm operating a k8s cluster on cloud VMs, so not managed, but not custom hardware either, myself and like you said it's pretty much a full-time job despite the relatively simple cluster workloads. It's great to hear from someone who successfully uses Nomad in production.
That's an interesting point literally merging offline and online education.
Yes, and it's still at 4%, but, true, it fell down from over 20% in the early days, but the sample is big enough to know that it's not less than 1%.
Yup, it's about 1.8x for the instance sizes I checked.
Ironically, this is likely good news for Uber & Lyft. It makes Prop 22 more important, and makes the effects of not having it more real.
I remember a problem similar to the one you describe when using a dot product both to substitute for a fast loop and for its normal mathematical purpose, in the same operation:

points = np.array([[0, 0, 0], [1, 0, 0], [1, 1, 0], [0, 1, 0]])
M = np.array([[0.866, 0.5, 0], [-0.5, 0.866, 0], [0, 0, 1]]) # rotation
points @ M # works
M @ points # raises ValueError, also a different transform

Regarding messing up the multiplication order, numpy by itself doesn't have the information to raise a relevant type error, sadly. As you probably know, based on your other comments, the important thing is whether the adjacent basis vectors (dimensions) match, not how they are written. That is, given M = M_ij (a_i ⊗ b_j), a vector v_i a_i must be multiplied on the left, a vector v_i b_i must be multiplied on the right, and a vector v_i c_i (with basis vector c) shouldn't be used at all. Numpy just does array math; it doesn't keep track of dimensions. Hopefully the code has accurate comments, or you're using a language with a decent type checker.

However, I think you can track dimensional compatibility using xarray:

import xarray as xr
import numpy as np
points = xr.DataArray([[0, 0, 0], [1, 0, 0], [1, 1, 0], [0, 1, 0]], dims=("idx", "a"))
M = xr.DataArray([[0.154, 0.988, 0], [-0.988, 0.154, 0], [0, 0, 1]], dims=("a", "b")) # rotation
points.dot(M) # works
M.dot(points) # also works
# M's a-dim is matched to point's a-dim, so both
# results have same values regardless of
# multiplication order, just transposed.
assert np.all(points.dot(M).T == points.dot(M))

I only just tried xarray in response to your post, so not sure if there are pitfalls in practice, or if this is the best way to use it.

Is Phantom Auto carrying $63M in liability insurance for every installation of their technology?
Undervolting can work WONDERS. Especially if you get lucky with binning. I'm running the i7 in my little 13" convertible with a ~140mV undervolt, which is the difference between unplayable and 90 pegged in DCS and War Thunder (flight sims) in VR (w/ eGPU). It's also almost an extra hour of battery life when I'm just browsing the internet or whatnot.
I've asked the drivers in 5 rides I've taken in the last few weeks. They were all for it.

They were also willing to throw uber under the bus for other transgressions, but liked making a few extra quid and couldn't see themselves driving if it doesn't pass.

Take that for what its worth.
As they say best UI is no UI and this software is perfect demonstration of it. For some reason we are struck in myriad of UI frameworks and shiny apps. This feels like regression.

Best thing is this doesn't break the flow of thoughts by forcing user to fill in dates, people etc. in different UI boxes.

I wonder how did they approach the NLP part in 1990 and what more is possible today with deep learning?
That would be absolutely amazing.

I would love to be able to use Switch hardware as a general purpose computer/emulation machine.
Did you receive the messages as an iMessage or as a text message from the same number?
Who would organize and pay for such an initiative?
Possibly. It was only a matter of time before VC-subsidized undercharging for better taxi services ran out.

But Uber/Lyft are a better service than the taxis of old, so I'm inclined to continue using them vs car renting.
countdown to mental decline, now thats a downer haha
Hyperventilation passing out mechanism, for those interested:

Although the body requires oxygen for metabolism, low oxygen levels normally do not stimulate breathing. Rather, breathing is stimulated by higher carbon dioxide levels. As a result, breathing low-pressure air or a gas mixture with no oxygen at all (such as pure nitrogen) can lead to loss of consciousness without ever experiencing air hunger. This is especially perilous for high-altitude fighter pilots. It is also why flight attendants instruct passengers, in case of loss of cabin pressure, to apply the oxygen mask to themselves first before helping others; otherwise, one risks losing consciousness.[143]

The respiratory centers try to maintain an arterial CO
2 pressure of 40 mm Hg. With intentional hyperventilation, the CO
2 content of arterial blood may be lowered to 10–20 mm Hg (the oxygen content of the blood is little affected), and the respiratory drive is diminished. This is why one can hold one's breath longer after hyperventilating than without hyperventilating. This carries the risk that unconsciousness may result before the need to breathe becomes overwhelming, which is why hyperventilation is particularly dangerous before free diving.

> I know people are building these the questions is for what, CI/CD for ARM like others mentioned is plausible but only if you are targeting the Pi or something very similar just due to how “fragmented” the ARM ecosystem is with its multiple uArchs.

I don't understand what point you tried to make. These hosting services, and also clients, are quite intentionally targetting the raspberry pi. More specifically, they do target Debian running on Raspberry Pi. I don't understand the confusion. I mean, is it also hard to understand why AWS users pay for ARM instances running Amazon's custom linux distro? In both the Pi and Graviton you can run nginx, nodejs, Python, ssh... So, what's the problem again?
What problem are you trying to solve? Wasting a tiny bit of power in resistors?
I wish they'd close even a single street to car traffic in LA. A single one. Instead restaurants sprawl into the sidewalk and leave a little 2 food wide strip where you walk within spit fleck distance of dozens of maskless people eating and drinking and talking loud. I just look for a break in traffic to walk along the road or cross the street entirely.
What if you don't know English? Should you be forced to learn English to search your mailbox that is otherwise in your native language?
Ftp, multi-gb xml, utf-16. That's a bit of a blast from the past.

That said, pretty much every programming lang in existence has sax libraries [since this sort of thing was much more common in the 2000s], many of them will transparently handle the utf-16 encoding, so it doesn't seem like something to make that much of a fuss over.
Congrats, this is a good idea and well designed.

I think users need a taste of the product before they're going to part with $199. For my example search, I have:

- 17 high risk domains

- 7 medium risk domains

- 16 low risk domains

To show the power of the product, why not show one domain from each category?

I think calling it "TypoDomains" might be selling yourself short, I would name it something that indicates brand protection.
I still don't even see how it works. I can understand with something that is fairly liquid like stocks, but if you own a farm it's not like you could always easily sell off 3% of your farm every year to keep the government happy. Aren't property taxes enough? They're relatively low compared to 3% a year that various democrats call for. Land really doesn't "make" money for you like say a physical factory unless you're using it. I imagine these types of issues happen with other sorts of businesses. I mean I don't have a problem with higher taxes on "annual wealth increase" or profit, but to continuously tax the same thing over and over and over is ludicrous in my opinion at least not at these levels. Property taxes are already high in most states.
Well done on your part.

I started noticing the hot air when I was in my doctoral program at the #1 school in my field.

It still took me 10+ years to change careers.

I erroneously thought that I could at least steer part of my field into a non-BS direction. Maybe someone could, but that someone was not me.

The good thing is that I had a lot of fun during that time, I learned a lot, and the money was quite good for a professor. That said, I often wonder think about what I could have done better.

a ballot measure cannot be overturned without another ballot measure

If the Legislature wants to change a statute put in by initiative, they can provisionally. This generates a Legislative Statute proposition. Most of those pass without a lot of scrutiny. No voter signatures are needed.
It's basically just there to dissuade casual pickpocket/theft.

Like if you're traveling by rail and have your briefcase overhead and are snoozing, someone could just open it, take your laptop and disappear.

That's about the sum total of cases it's preventing. Not terribly useful, no.
This has been an interesting battle in terms of civil governance. Basically Uber & Lyft threatened to put the initiative they wrote, on the ballot if the legislature passed AB5, which they did.

Uber and Lyft are now doing everything they can to get it to pass which will set up its own court fight.

Watching this fight I wonder "Who is in charge of governing California?" is it the Legislature/Governor or is it special interests who can spend enough to put bespoke laws into effect and make bespoke changes to the state constitution?

California didn't help itself when it implemented term limits which had the unpleasant side effect of never having any legislators with enough experience in the job to know how to really get things done, and so the "work" of writing laws has also fallen to special interests. This has never been more clear than the last 4 years where California has had a single party in both houses, and a Governor and still cannot legislate anything that special interests oppose.

I don't know what the "solution" would be but it does not feel like it is serving the people of California well (as someone who lives here).
I was doing some security evaluation work this week on a platform that surfaces information from functional tests of web applications. It had a somewhat obtuse onboarding process so I just copied one of their tutorial applications thinking that would be and easy way to get some data flowing through the tool.

Running on Amazon Linux it took nearly two hours for me to descend into the pits of ruby/rvm/node/puppeteer/headless chrome to get the damn thing ‘working’. Broken builds, missing tools, wrong major releases, segfaults, path issues, byzantine environment variable dependencies. I felt like Hal fixing the light bulb and I still have no idea what actually is going on when I run the tests. I just get the API requests I need and the rest feels like a black box in the form of nested Klein bottles.

I was really feeling my BOFH oats by the end of it and dismissing everyone that deals with that mess every day as a flock of sadists. I’ve since calmed down and realized that it’s probably not that bad if it actually is your day job. I just know that if I depended on that heap to actually do anything more than run some unit tests I would have years of acclimation in front of me.
I don't care if uber can't pay back their VCs and goes under because of this ruling. There is a model that has shown to have a service people want and are willing to pay for, the market will find the right price with a different company. Drunk driving reduction has been a good thing about these services, but it doesn't need to be uber.
What would you think it would cost per year? What $ amount?

What would be the break down?

Legacy software, security and the constant upgrades, a manager, HR, customer support. Training your all your call centres to know about it and who to re-direct issues to.
I based much of my training for ultramarathons on his system and principles. Very happy with the process and results.
Summary: "The survey said information technology decision-makers expect permanent remote work to double to 34.4% of their companies’ workforces in 2021, compared with 16.4% before the coronavirus outbreak, a result of positive productivity trends.

About 72% of their companies’ total global workforce is currently working remotely, according to the CIOs."

Honestly I would expect it to remain at more than 34%. Who would want to go back to daily commutes of >1h?

If we're able to do our jobs remotely it would be in our interests as human beings to resist losing 5-10 hours a week commuting.
The Science news article reports that new STEM faculty jobs are at about a third of what they were last year. Like they say, universities, especially big public ones have had their finances nuked by the pandemic and imposed hiring freezes. The other aspect isn't mentioned but I feel has to be the case, which is that if any faculty consider their retirement portfolio hurting they won't elect to retire. That was certainly true last Spring when they would need to initiate the process to retire and create an opening for this cycle.

I'm glad I'm only finishing my first postdoc. It really sucks for people who are at the end of their second postdoc (year six post-PhD), which is effectively the limit for faculty hiring or additional postdocs. For them this is really the worst timing for the one critical year in their perhaps 15 year run-up from entering undergrad.
Wow, these are some impressive numbers: https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/uploads/2020/06/S5-260-1.pdf

You can't say there's causation here necessarily, but the correlation is significant.
Bagels are usually dipped in lye as well, it's how they get their bagel-y texture on the outside crust.

Sodium carbonate is sometimes used as an alternative to lye for those who don't want to deal with the safety aspect of handling lye, as lye is very caustic. Of course, lye still provides the best results.
If you are a tourist visiting multiple destinations a day that is probably already the case. Bay Area and LA are both spread out enough that rideshare fares quickly add up. Rideshare has always been more for convenience for me - not having to worry about parking or agonizing over traffic.

Yes, that's the right likelihood function. To get probabilities distributions out of the products in the post, all you have to do is normalize them. That would be equivalent to applying bayes rule and combining independent evidence about a parameter with an uninformative prior. Normalizing doesn't change the shapes, so I left out the details.
