AWS is suffering from a TLA problem. gRPC on the other hand is a decent name, at least you can guess at a glance that is a RPC protocol. Meanwhile you just have to know that ALB is a type of ELB.
But is it 2.08 crashes/million miles of driving around extremely easy and empty suburbs? There's a reason they started where they have - it's the easiest driving in the world. That's very sensible but it does mean you can't just compare statistics like that.
I'm pretty sure it's actually just a continuous under extrusion. It becomes periodic in nature because material gathers under the nozzle and then it hits the blob from the previous layer and gets pulled off. It's a similar effect to how droplets form and fall off of your faucet when the flow rate is low. This also leads to the diagonal angles seen as the Z-height goes up.

It's usually hard to get this to happen consistently, which they've done quite well.

I've got no citations, but I worked in FDM Additive Manufacturing for a few years, and spent 4 months of that designing extruders for a name brand company.

Can you explain what do you mean with "private" cloud?

I.e. is the repository "local only" or exposed to and reachable from the internet?

And if this latter, is traffic "direct" or does it go anyway through the duple site/portal/server/whatever?
Dijkstra's paper "Recursive Programming" (1960) is where he lays out his proposal for implementing recursive Algol-60 subroutines with a stack: https://www.ics.uci.edu/~jajones/INF102-S18/readings/07_dijk...

Some basics as there's no explanation within:

It's a notebook interface, not unlike Jupyter or ObservableHQ, where you can write the standard JS you write when creating react/vue/angular apps (or vanialla if that's your cup of tea!), and it will not only instantly render infront of your eyes but you can also "deploy" apps/sites instantly without any actual build process or deploy process - it's all compiled on the fly, and the end result is an SSR rendered web app or site that loads instantly with sub-second rendering.

I've been working on it ever since the coronavirus lockdowns started, this is the mvp version I've been working on since June after earlier releasing a successful POC.

That is partially the crux of the matter: on the one hand, popularity and like ability is not evidence for or against him, and second, community contempt is the consequence of invalidating his scores and making him seem like a cheater. Maybe he’s a cheater, but evidence is the important thing

It would be nice if groups (including but not limited to political parties) could provide recommended ballots, in line with straight ticket voting, but in a ranked choice setting so for instance, the Democrat ballot might recommend the Democrat first and then the Green Party candidate second (or something like that).
>Well, I'm pretty sure those multi-account features are meant for multiple members of a single household.

You are correct, I think it is one of those technically grey areas. However in my scenario, given that the same group of 5 shares pretty much every single service subscription and physically spends a lot of time watching it together, I think, even in the intended spirit of household sharing, it sorta follows.

Regardless of that, imo there would be a lot of outrage if streaming services started cracking down on that, and, my guess, streaming services are intentionally not letting that happen.
How to Say Good Morning Paragraphs for Crush
Yeah. Scratch is not a no-code tool, it's a no-syntax tool. Every other skill required to understand code is still required. It makes it impossible to put a semicolon in the wrong place or understand that there's wrong and right places to put them, but you still have to parse code and imagine what it'll do before it does it, etc.

This is the real question. I wish we could have a transcript of the discussion between treasury staff and the board on why it was a good idea to tie up cash in this way.
Are they?

I thought the difference is, that RPC hides behind a function that looks like it would behave like it was local, but in fact does a remote call and REST explicitly states that things happen remote.
The "public" is not an abstract noble concept. How would you feel if the "public" wanted to tell you what programming language you had to use? The public doesn't like bugs, and they heard that Java is safer, so you have to use that now.
Here is the thesis paper that came out of it. https://dl.acm.org/doi/epdf/10.1145/3276479

All the following is my opinion, and may contain errors. Take it with a grain of salt and kindly correct me where I misstated something.

If you view PyPy as a sophisticated test bed for virtual machine research it was a success. There are lots of conclusions about what works and what doesn’t, and benchmarks that show faster code when using many core. But the project ended with the conclusion the the STM model and the tracing JIT model don’t play well together, and the PyPy team preferred to stay with the tracing JIT.

Python and Ruby are very similar. The same JIT that powers PyPy powers topaz, which still performs quite well in ruby benchmarks even though it has been dormant since 2017

I played only Wing Commander: Prophecy (one of the last ones) and I found it way better than the older star wars games, probably just a normal passage of time thing honestly.

If you love those kinds of games and are missing them, check out Freespace, which you can get cheap on GOG, and the Knossos launcher, which allows you to download mods like the open source re-implementation of the game engine which vastly improves things, and some fan made campaigns/overhauls including a great Wing Commander style one.

Alternatively, EA (the owners of Origin's intellectual property) recently released StarWars Squadrons, which has a short campaign that certainly scratches that old itch. However I don't know how I feel about the multiplayer.

The answers to this question are extremely interesting and show how much work has been done to get where we are today, a position I took for granted and never really understood until now (even in name: 'yo-yo list', for heaven's sake!)

It's a bit like parsing, these days we either reach for a technique (eg. recursive descent) or an implementation of a tool (such as flex/bison) and never think there was a time before these where people had to struggle conceptually with these things.

The abstract from the paper Denisovan DNA in Late Pleistocene sediments from Baishiya Karst Cave on the Tibetan Plateau [1]:

> A late Middle Pleistocene mandible from Baishiya Karst Cave (BKC) on the Tibetan Plateau has been inferred to be from a Denisovan, an Asian hominin related to Neanderthals, on the basis of an amino acid substitution in its collagen. Here we describe the stratigraphy, chronology, and mitochondrial DNA extracted from the sediments in BKC. We recover Denisovan mitochondrial DNA from sediments deposited ~100 thousand and ~60 thousand years ago (ka) and possibly as recently as ~45 ka. The long-term occupation of BKC by Denisovans suggests that they may have adapted to life at high altitudes and may have contributed such adaptations to modern humans on the Tibetan Plateau.

The "modern internet" is more expressive in terms of content. It's no longer entirely populated by a monoculture of university students or technologically savvy American nerds, and no longer limited only to what text and images can provide.

Geocities, compared to modern platforms, offered more technical freedom in that it gave you direct control over HTML, CSS and Javascript, and yet still many Geocities sites wound up looking very similar to one another, and the quality of content in many cases was more shallow than now.

The material in stars is too spread out over a large volume, and stars move too slowly for these systems to detect them. Black hole collisions events last on the order of about 10 milliseconds and emit up to about 40% of their combined mass in gravitational energy. Nothing a star can do is fast or energetic enough to register at those scales.

> A nihilist regarding truth

Nope. I believe in truth. My point is that the news industry isn't in the business of truth. They have never been. The news is in the propaganda business. They exist to form opinions. It's why pretty much every news company around the world was formed by a politician, banker, industrialist or government. If trump created "Real News Company", I'm sure you'd say only the naive would view such a company as a purveyor of truth right?

> You might want to watch this video to see why that's a dangerous attitude, and one that plays into the hands of morally unscrupulous actors

You might also look up the history of the news industry, manufacturing consent, etc. And the morally unscrupulous actors are the major news companies.

The real danger is not from those who question the news, it's from those who blindly view it as the truth.
I would agree normally, but what ISP is not taking public money to hopefully expand their network.
This is why it's opposed by both faces of the status quo party. Once a third party gets to 10% for a given office, there won't be much stopping it from getting to 40% in the next election for that office.
That's why I'm a bigger fan of approval voting. No ballot updates and people just check next to who they like.

gRPC is one of the best decisions we've made at our company. Here's the longer blog post - https://dropbox.tech/infrastructure/courier-dropbox-migratio..., but some things:

1. Performance

2. It's hard to make changes that are backwards incompatible via protobuf (reduces significant source of bugs)

3. Great, standardized observability for every service. Small services don't really need too many custom metrics, since we log a LOT of metrics at the RPC layer

4. Standardization at the RPC layer lets us build useful generic infrastructure - like a load testing framework (where users only need to specify the RPC service, method, and parameters like concurrency, RPS).
How is Maine integrating it's ranked choice election into the federal election? Everyone voting for Maine's congressional election is using ranked choice, but only maine voters are using RCV to vote for president.

If they eliminate their states least popular candidates till one candidate has 50% then voters risk electing a federally unpopular candidate, in a winner take all election. In this case voters must vote strategically.

It seems Maine would have to wait for federal results and eliminate candidates that are not federally viable. How would this work with multiple states using rcv?

We need to abandon first past the pole (and the electoral college) but how can we do it peicemeal?

That's an interesting question. I've never thought about it or seen that taken into account (its not something we fit to when constraining cosmology)

I just looked around and LIGO has constrained Omega_GW < 1e-7 (they find no evidence, but that is the limit of their sensitivity). This is at least an order of magnitude smaller than Omega_Radiation and so will have a negligible effect on cosmology/total energy content.

REST is a poor model for many scenarios, most obviously when the client and server aren’t dealing with resources or aren’t trying to maintain a shared model of state. A distributed database consensus protocol is a good example of the former, and an application server streaming metrics to a metric aggregation server is a good example of the latter.

Not only is that not a difference, neither one of those things is true.

Any remote interface tends to “hide behind” a local function, that's just how structured programming (of which most more advanced paradigms are refinements) works. And Remote Procedure Call is fairly express that things happen remotely.
> Heaven forbid I make the mistake of clicking some random political video, and I am now in a hole where my feed is full of right-wing, anti-vaxxers, and conspiracy theorists and so on.

Yeah, every time I click some SNL clip on Reddit, YouTube decides I want all SNL all the time. But I find simply right-clicking a couple and telling it to stop recommending them is very effective at undoing that.

> it seems like Youtube's algo gets quite quickly to the local minimum/maximum but then struggles to look around or away from it.

I've observed this too. Sometimes I feels like I have watched every single synthesizer video ever uploaded to YouTube. But I don't consider that an entirely bad thing. There's something to be said for a service with an engagement ceiling. If I find myself scrolling too far down to find an interesting video, that's a good signal that maybe I should get off YouTube and find something better to do.
You're assuming the scores were chosen from e.g. 1,2,3, and people gave their first preference 1, second preference 2, and third preference 3. So yes, if you force everyone to rank the candidates like in Ranked Choice Voting, in this case you get the same outcome as Ranked Choice Voting. STAR doesn't restrict people to strict ranking though.

RCV gives you the same results as a runoff if the voters have ordinal preferences that they would have exercised in a runoff. There are a number of reasons why either of these may be wrong, but it seems to be a fairly reasonable set of assumptions.
Things I "love" about REST APIs:

- How should I pass an argument? Let me count the many ways:

1. Path parameters
2. Query parameters in the URL
3. Query parameters in the body of the request
4. JSON/YAML/etc. in the body of the request
5. Request headers (yes, people use these for API tokens, API versions, and other things sometimes)

- There's also the REST verb that is often super arbitrary. PUT vs POST vs PATCH... so many ways to do the same thing.

- HTTP response codes... so many numbers, so little meaning! There are so many ways to interpret a lot of these codes, and people often use 200 where they really "should" use 202... etc. Response codes other than 200 and 500 are effectively never good enough by themselves, so then we come to the next part:

- HTTP responses. Do we put the response in the body using JSON, MessagePack, YAML, or which format do we standardize on? Response headers are used for... some things? Occasionally, responses like HTTP redirects will often just throw HTML into API responses where you're normally using JSON.

- Bonus round: HTTP servers will often support compressing the response, but almost never do they allow compressing the request body, so if you're sending large requests frequently... well, oops.

I don't personally have experience with gRPC, but REST APIs can be a convoluted mess, and even standardizing internally only goes so far.

I like the promise of gRPC, where it handles all of the mundane transport details for me, and as a bonus... it will generate client implementations from a definition file, and stub out the server implementation for me... in whatever languages I want.

Why wouldn't you want that?
> This reads like you're saying you think it's completely reasonable to cross the highway even if it obstructs traffic?

Looks nice, but I'm little sceptical about the rear end collisions. From previous videos of self-driving cars (I don't remember whether it was Waymo) I have seen, they tend to suddenly stop for seemingly no reason. And although the driver has duty to keep safe distance, from point of view of other drivers it might seem no different than "anatagonistic motive" mentioned in the article.
I've encountered counterexamples, but they were more ha-ha-only-serious than first-order sincere.
Well, because two-party systems are an emergent phenomena of First-Past-The-Post voting (Duverger's law), any move away from FPTP would favor third parties.

Almost immediately, the GOP and the DNC would start losing votes to the Libertarian party and the Green party, so they'll both rally against any change to the existing system.

Any major shift toward better voting systems will have to start in local elections where voters are fed up with both parties. Maine is doing an awesome job leading the way on the state-level.
