> I’m less optimistic. All they will do is consolidate lock-in and leave people with less money and willingness to spend on other software.

I don't think that's the case at all. Look at the explosion of TV streaming services. Nevermind the fact that we're winding up with a situation worse than cable, people are paying for those.

What people don't pay for is apps that are more expensive than $1. They complain if apps cost more than a cup of coffee because everything else is free.

We have to push out the loss leaders and advertising subsidized garbage, because it puts expectations on the price of our software.

Compare our situation with Steam. People are happy to pay tons of money for games. Often times, they spend money for games they don't even play!

It's good for us if things start costing money and stop being free. Free is something only the giants can afford to offer.

It’s up to whoever built the backend. GQL doesn’t care either way. If the person who built the back end wanted to allow query by phone number, they’d index that field to maintain query performance.

Yea but you can also say criminalization has worked extremely well. Singapore for example.

What I worry about here is another instance of treating symptoms instead of causes. Why do people feel like they need to use drugs like heroin?

So if I want healthcare I should get addicted to meth? I'm being flippant here but this goes back to the earlier point about paying for your own healthcare here in this equation.
I’ve found from building a few Ryder machines now that while the CPU itself is amazing, the eco-system around it remains less polished than intel.

Hopefully this changes with Zen 3 looking like an awesome consumer chip.
Yes, love the wiki! I'd say that's one of the reasons I (and I'm guessing others) decided to try Arch. If that's where you are getting the best info, it's a good indication of the quality of the distribution and active community.

I know Arch users at times have a reputation of being not very newbie friendly, but when you have such a great resource like the wiki, it really does answer just about anything. I've used it to set up full disk encryption, resize partitions, and fix many random quirks in all sorts of programs. Happy to run Arch as my only OS on a desktop, laptop, and Pi.
How to fix my expectations to make accomplishments matter?

Identify if social network is the reason. Or is it your peers? Both are equally likely to imprint a need for higher expectations.

Most of the answers will need to be discovered by self but books do help.

Set expectations in terms of habits and not external achievements. I set a goal of spending a few minutes to write thoughts everyday, no matter what. My goal is to do this rest of my life without fail. Read growth mindest and atomic habits

If you keep blogging about your NLP, you are likely to get inbound remote opportunities. For last 8 years, I never had to apply for job, I always start blogging and that gets me inbound opportunities. There is plenty of work and remote these days, you just need to show up and get discovered.

> While NLP is an interesting topic, it feels like there are not many opportunities where I live?
It's not impossible but if this doesn't interest you. Do something else. Don't worry about your 2 years of masters. The knowledge will be useful someday in future. More than you can imagine.

> I want to try new things besides Machine Learning, but I feel locked in this path already

We all have a need for consistency that's what makes it difficult to change paths. But hey do what you gotta do. The important thing is to stick to something long enough to reap rewards. If you have to switch the paths 3-4 times in an year dont worry, you will find fixate on something someday.
Alternatives were around for at least 40 years - all large ships could be nuclear powered, and everything that can't run on batteries could run on synthetic methane, biofuel or hydrogen.

And perhaps transport is too cheap, how does it make sence that a pair of jeans travels the world 3 times before it lands on the shelf, or that fish is caught in scotland, de-boned in malasia and sold in US.

Perhaps what we call globalisation is a poorly designed, tax-evading, fragile, energy-wasting system.
> The mentioned pragmas are not defined by the 2010 standard.

That's exactly the point. GHC supports the most recent Haskell version it supports, and implements some extensions to the standard language, which can all be enabled or disabled using compiler directives (LANGUAGE pragmas). These are analogous to Python future import statements, which are compiler directive saying that a particular module should be compiled using syntax or semantics that is not part of the current version of Python the language.

Once in a blue moon, the Haskell standard changes, and certain features that you used pragmas for (e.g. PatternGuards, EmptyDataDecls, RelaxedPolyRec) will no longer require them. This depends on the standard, not the latest GHC release. Unlike Python, core Haskell changes slowly and conservatively, so you should not be surprised that the average Haskell code uses pragmas more frequently than Python uses future imports.

Ah, I almost got a job as a level designer at Blitz Games but I found out from an insider that they gave it to a guy who had done the exact thing at another company. They would have got me on board if he hadn't shown up.

All the game developers I applied to were incredibly slow in their communications. It would take weeks to arrange an interview and subsequently get a response back from them. I often thought, "Can I afford to take the time to apply to another games company?" Eventually I got into web dev with a couple of friends of mine, and work on games in my own time.

So in your experience REST is more predictable than GraphQL? ROFL.
Did you roll your own stack, or use an off the shelf toolkit? I’ve got something similar I’m wiring up right now in my project.
The key factor is not really how much but how often.
At least weekly I would say.

Also, the fewer AUR packages the better. Nothing too different from BSD packages vs ports.

Has anyone created a database where graphql replaces SQL? I can imagine many advantages.
One of the elements in your system is either very old or borked.

I have an AppleTV4K, and everything is perfectly synced with at least 3 brands of Bluetooth headphones - an 3-year-old eKids one, a 1-year old TaoTronics one, and a 2-year old nameless one.

In the early PlayStation 2 days, many flatscreen TVs (both Plasma and LCD) had delays that made games like Guitar Hero unplayable, so the games added a latency estimation/calibration setting you could use; My 12 year old Onkyo HDMI receiver has a special "eliminate latency in game mode" setting which disables some processing features and reduces sound latency by 50ms or so.

It's not that there were never problems; But anything made in the last 5 years or so, especially using BT4/BT5, should not have these issues.

Edit: just tried with an 8 year old or so JBL Clip I found lying around, and it does have ~100ms latency (estimated, not measured). But the newer ones don’t have it.
Vote. If people are in office for years and years with no change, vote them out. They are not helping anyone but themselves. Vote for new people with new ideas. Canvas for those people. Get involved in politics yourself. Encourage others to vote.

Sure, economics (and everything related) are probably a major factor in most of these cities, but in my opinion, politics is a huge factor as well and most likely influences politics.

Many politicians say they are going to fix problems but just throw money at things, hope for the best, and wonder why things aren't better (or play the blame game).

Also, do some beautification and encourage others to do so. Maybe start a grassroots effort to clean up a park, a street, remove graffiti, whatever. Make the world physically a better place.

Vote for lower taxes, especially for small businesses. Let people open a corner store or restaurant but give them a chance to grow.

Hi, I work in this field professionally - you are correct up until the tradeoffs. It is not the case that the spatial resolution is higher - in fact, semiconductor manufacturers have struggled to get ToF sensors much above VGA in mobile form factors. In general, ToF systems have a considerably lower maximum precision than structured light of the same resolution, especially at close range - typically structured light systems have quadratic error with range, but the blessing that that curse gives you is that at close ranges, precision goes up superlinearly with horizontal resolution. This is one reason that essentially all industrial 3D scanning is based on structured light. The other is multipath inference, which is specific to time of flight systems (and you can see the effects if you look at a ToF’s results near a corner - the exact corner itself will be correct, but the walls immediately adjacent to it will be pushed out away from the camera).

Temporal resolution is more debatable, because ToF is a lot more conducive to “extremely short, extremely bright flash” than structured light is. But for example, there are systems that run structured light (specifically, single-shot dot pattern structured light, like that seen in TrueDepth or Kinect), or its two-camera equivalent (active stereo) at exposure times of 1ms or less. It is all about the optics stack and sensitivity of the camera. So I don’t agree that temporal resolution is a compelling advantage either.

The main advantages of ToF are that it can be built in a single module (vs two for structured light), it does not require significant calibration in the field when the device is dropped or otherwise deformed, and it is easier to recover depth with decent edge quality. In general the software investment required for a good quality depth map is lower, though in this case Apple has been chewing on this for many years. Another potential advantage is outdoor performance at range - while historically this has been a significant weakness for ToFs, more modern ToFs adopted techniques to improve this, such as deeper pixel wells, brighter and shorter duration exposures, and built-in ambient light compensation. These are hard to do with structured light without manufacturing your own custom camera module. Finally - and I suspect this is why Apple ultimately picked it for their rear depth solution - because time of flight is a single module, it can be worked into the camera region on the rear of the device without having to have a separate opening for the illuminator and camera. The quadratic drop in accuracy with range that I mentioned above can be offset not just by resolution but by the distance between camera and illuminator - for a rear mounted device, the temptation is to make that baseline large, but this would put another hole in the back on the other side of the camera bump. I don’t see Apple going for that.

The worst thing, to me, mentioned in "Bad" is that CSV's are untyped, which especially makes distinguishing nulls and empty strings impossible.

I wonder if a "typed csv" standard could emerge, like `.tscv` eg;

Name::String?,ID::String,Born::Date
Foo,0123,2020-01-01
\NULL,0124,2020-01-02

Still streamable, human-readable/editable (although not with excel et al til they are modified to open it), compact, simple.

Of course, would only be useful to actual Data People for a while, so would not have ubiquity.
"null" meaning what exactly? And no, it isn't a standard.
This requires incentives that promote long term thinking. It's been my experience that in most organizations the buck stops with a product owner/manager. I can't think of a worse person to be deciding if we have time in the sprint to refactor. I advise teams to go up as high as you have to in the organization until you find someone incentivized to deliver value over a longer time horizon, someone who will feel the consequences of too much tech debt. Often no such person exists. At this point it should be clear to everyone what the future will look like and they can make their own personal career choices.

Notice how the site claims cultural "British-ness" to be a requirement. Yet in reality GTA V passed this apparently low barrier.

More likely the British-ness requirement is nothing more than a fig-leaf to appease the European Commission.

A lot of it is a quality control issue. The cocaine your ophthalmologist might use is just as safe as any other FDA-approved drug, because it is one. On the other hand the stuff you might get third-hand from the cartels was possibly of questionable quality to begin with and has been adulterated several times by various intermediaries.
In this thread, laktak posted an interview that includes a gameplay demo that shows basic interaction with the logic gates. It doesn't look on the redstone side of the spectrum, sadly.
As someone with this disabled for 15+ years on lots of different accounts/domains/services: this is definitely not the case.

It's possible there's less than there would otherwise be (impossible to know), and it's a really good idea to disable either way. Same with read receipts - I'm not sure if they're used for spam, but their mere existence is just obnoxious and rude.
Some workloads can utilize almost all the power. Some workloads can not. Server workloads usually can scale almost infinitely. And we don't really have a choice, single-core workloads usually don't scale (most of the recent advancements are from implicit parallelization using speculative execution).
Yes, it can and often will. That’s the point.

Context: this is quoting Sigmund Freud, who mistakenly believed the drug to be non-addictive.
Eliot wasn't a fascist, he was an Anglican. Being Anglican is as close as he got to fascism.

Also, calling him anti-semitic makes sense only if you call pretty much everyone else in the world, up to and including the jewish community, the same name.

He engaged in some stereotypes about jews (both positive and negative)in his personal correspondence. As well as many other stereotypes about everyone else from the British to Americans.

If you are going to be mining personal correspondence for stereotypes of drunk irish or lazy spaniards, then I'm sure you can find all sorts of names to call Eliot, but doing so says more about the cherry-picker's ethics than it does about the poet's.

In Eliot's actual behavior, he promoted the careers of jewish poets and writers, actively sought out their contributions to his literary magazine, and did not discriminate against them.
I'm an Arch newbie (started using it in January this year). Never had any issues with rolling updates. A few times the update required manual intervention, but that was documented on the Arch website and took about 30 seconds to fix.

Historically, I've had more pains with upgrading on Ubuntu-based distros (but in all fairness I've been using them for much longer).
That's really saying something about AWS, it's easier to get support and bugs fixed on reddit, than via direct contact.

Big red flag!
That said, a decade is a long way out for the completion of the first plant, given the trajectories that wind, solar, and storage prices have taken. Perhaps as critically, most utilities are already done with the learning period needed to use variable renewables effectively, when that period will only start for small modular reactors in 2030. It's entirely possible that we'll be ready to move forward with this nuclear technology at roughly the same time we're becoming confident that we won't need much of it."
Yeah I made a library for that. I am not sure if people are actually using it but it got over 70k goddamn hits in my access.log!

We have a pretty robust unified graphql api that handles millions of requests per second. Its has recently replaced siloed REST api's and now provides a common interface and RBAC for all of our data, which is housed in 5 different DB engines.

Previously most of the data was in MongoDB, so implementing GQL allowed up to regression test the api surface while migrating the underlying data. Remote schemas and persistent queries were pretty integral to that effort.

Just because 50% agree on something doesn't mean it's voluntary. If you vote and everyone volunteers to do it that's fine, if you have to point a gun at them and threaten them with jail - then it's not voluntary.

Yes, many large scale innovations happen due to government funding - I explicitly called that out. I'm saying that there are tons more innovations than just those. The trick for innovation is at scale is getting it to the commercial market. There's a reason the government prefers commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) vs custom tech.

Also science != innovation, and it's not necessarily science->innovation. Many times it's innovation->science.
> The "same" government that gave us Tor (onion routing) wants to take it away.

This is probably why "same" is in quotes, but it's clear that this is higher-up political players wanting more power to spy on the people in the name law enforcement - tor came from the military who made the tech to fix an actual problem they had (encrypted communication).
Docker solves the problem of breaking what you have because you can't. The isolation is built-in. Everything is contained.

Of course if you're editing files locally or fixing a Dockerfile it's all the same, but it's not the commonality that's in discussion here.

And what's all this about understanding? Who said we don't understand the software? That's your assumption but complete untrue. Managing everything directly isn't a sign of deep understanding, it's simply your preference, one that I and many others don't share.

Sorry if you felt attacked by the term "lady". I'm not a native speaker and intended to express the gender by using the colloquial meaning of "lady". If you had preferred me writing "DoreenMichele is female" then so be it, I can completely accept that. I'm a bit less positive about you pulling this into being a gender issue overall. I corrected the previous poster's use of pronoun "he" when referring to you, and I did it in a "P.S." so it was not the main point of my post. If that's a problem and you'd rather like people calling you "he" stay uncorrected, so be it. But please don't insinuate anything about my thoughts about gender equality, or that correcting the use of "he" instead of "she" has anything to do with gender equality or virtue signaling, for that matter.

I'm not sure where you feel I dogged you. I was presenting my view on what science is and is not. I did mention that you seem to think that you ought to get a nobel prize, and that this kind of statement tends to make me cautious, but both were merely a statement of fact. If you don't want anybody to quote you on that, don't say such things in the first place. And again, that has nothing to do with gender.
I have no idea where you get this from.

BLM started as a response to police brutality driven by an institution that is quite literally the furthest you could get from progressive ideals. In the last hundred years, these police departments: violently broke up strikes at the behest of corporations, tried to put down the Civil Rights movement, and have been by far the biggest proponent of the destructive war on drugs. Institutions that to this day have nearly impenetrable qualified immunity - a level of power no one else has.

#MeToo started as a response to a flood of accusations against Harvey Weinstein, quite literally one of the most powerful and influential people in Hollywood at the time. It was followed up by a flood of accusations against Les Moonves, CEO of CBS, one of the most powerful and influential people in television broadcasting at the time. These men were at the top for decades

Your analysis makes no logical sense. The nature of these institutions hasn't changed, some figureheads were sacrificed and shuffled around (literally, in the case of police departments).
