The analysis here is so spot-on that I'd argue it sometimes applies even to Wikipedia as well. (OP offers up Wikipedia as a service that can "reorganize to reflect its understanding" of what's changed as new features keep getting added.)

Often, yes, especially on relatively simple pages that relate to geography, mildly famous people, etc. But take a look at Wikipedia's page on Facebook, which is now a 539-source accretion of diverse headlines as they happened, now held together only by subject headers that are the digital equivalent of very large paperclips. Or a ship's log.

Fixing this would be brutally tough! We're talking about what's now a "semi-protected article," alterable only by trusted players, because otherwise it's more likely to be defaced than improved.

In fact, looking at the Talk section for the Facebook article, it looks as if it was deemed a "good article" from 2006-2011 but then lost this status.

A telling comment at the time: "Compared with the latest reviewed version of the article, the prose is very choppy and unclear. In some sections, every sentence seems to function as its own paragraph, while in other sections there are random paragraph separations where there shouldn't be. The entire Website section is a mass conglomeration of Facebook features that needs to be sorted out in some way."

What's visible now is beyond the stage where incremental fixes (or additions) can fix things. Meaningful improvement will come only from a top-to-bottom rewrite and rethinking of the article, so that Facebook's role, history and features are presented with the clarity and insight of author(s) who can put all the pieces together in a framework that's strong enough to overcome the "ship's log" problem.
This is true. However, the blockading global-scale military power would probably be committing an act of war against the country launching the supply mission. I have difficulty imagining a scenario where Mars would matter enough for any power to take that risk against any but the weakest supplier.

"In some cases, this means you may get advertising in the mail"

It's nice to know Google is concerned about this dystopian possibility.
The real "problem" here is that we're getting more lines fuzzing right? Instead of just having Rogue, Nethack and Caves of Qud we're getting some games that dip their toes in the water to grab a few features those designers appreciate (i.e. permadeath a mechanic lots of devs have used to make their games less stressful by keeping expected lives rather short - a usage of a mechanic for a purpose far different from original rogue-like's intentions)...

I think this is just like music genres - nobody owns a genre and games will come out that do different things with that genre... the market is open and new games just add to the collection of choice - it might be that rogue-lites end up stealing some community support and income from more classic rogue-likes but nothing has destroyed Rogue or any of the other games people have fallen in love with along the way.

I have my own classifications for what roguelike would be and Diablo (even in permadeath mode) wouldn't fit into it - it's far too fixed and predictable of a game and quite easy to initially get into - I'd consider a lack of accessibility to basically be a rogue-like requirement.
I wonder if we could hack/mod the airpod pro to gain access to their internal microphone, we could use it to create our own HRTF head model, probably what apple is doing to enable their version of spatial audio
Apple would be doing their own thing anyway. It’s not just about performance, there’s all the myriad other tweaks and customisations you can do on your own SOC to differentiate yourself. We see this with the mobile SOCs. Secure Enclave, sensors, Specialist machine learning accelerators for image processing, exactly the core count and cache you want, optimised bigLittle. The T2 chip is actually a modified iPhone SoC design. With Apple Silicon that can just be a sub-unit in the main SOC.

Yes moving to a new architecture is challenging, but Apple has done it before any this time it can be for keeps. Never again will they be beholden to another company’s priorities, or stuck with me-too processors their competitors have equal access to. A better Intel road map might have resulted in putting the transition off, but I think it was inevitable eventually ever since Apple bought PA Semi.
Unpopular opinion, but after not owning a printer for around a decade I bought an HP Tango which is a totally wireless “cloud printer”. It’s small and has a nice linen case, so it looks like a book when on the shelf and not in use. I subscribe to a $4 tier for instant ink (50 pages a month with a 1 month rollover), and I love it. The main thing that pushed me over the edge was that you can also print unlimited 5x7 photos printed from your mobile device as part of the deal, and having recently acquired a baby we thought it would be nice to actually print sie photos for ourselves and relatives.

They obviously screwed up by doing a freemium model on a physical product, but the paid tiers combined with the Tango aren’t such a raw deal for people who don’t want a printer taking up dedicated space in their apartments, and it saves the hassle of keeping track of ink levels and ordering cartridges, or going to the library in the cases where printing something made sense.

This is insanely (maybe even criminally?) hyperbolic:

> The right-to-repair criminals like Apple, John Deere and Medtronic. Tesla and GM, Juicero and Keurig – companies that are not merely content with waging war on customers, but also on competitors who offer those customers shelter.

Lots of consumers just have different priorities when it comes to trade offs. Doctorow positions himself as a champion of consumers, but he’d really like to reduce our range of options if he could.
TSMC's capacity for 2020-2021 is fully booked. Also, it would take Intel 1-2 years to redesign a processor for the TSMC process, but they thought their own 10nm was coming in less than a year so they never switched. And also pride.
I'm the author of the JAX backend in Theano, and, no, this didn't have anything to do with NumPyro--especially since I neither use nor know very much about NumPyro.

It was just a quick demonstration of how easily one can use Theano as a generalized graph "front-end", while also preserving its more unique and programmable symbolic optimization capabilities. JAX was one of a few "backends" I considered, and, due to the JAX Python library, it also looked like the most straightforward one to implement first.

Despite me being a Scala developer for many years, I am happy throwing away types and concluding that an "in production REPL" might be better
Thus, "technical debt"...
I guess CPU time is different to actually asking for money. But it would probably just skew so that CPU was incredibly cheap as spammers/bots mobilised to have as much CPU time on separate IPs as possible... Or something like that.

There's always a way around incentive based methods.
You just never know.
Some consumer whatcdog should start looking at those claims, thats just borderline false marketing claims.
There have been some projects to develop SSDs that natively present a key-value storage interface, and standardization of that is pretty far along. So those drives can function as a backend for eg. a RocksDB substitute with a minimal software frontend.

But a full SQL database engine on the SSD would fall under the umbrella of computational storage, and so far everyone with the resources to put any of that into production has datasets that don't fit on a single drive. So there's less utility in having the drive speaking proper SQL, but a lot of active research into how to usefully offload some of the DB work onto compute resources that reside on the SSD itself.

(Also, microcontroller is a bit odd to use to refer to the main controller chip inside a SSD, especially a high-end enterprise SSD. It gives a completely misleading indication of scale.)
Very interesting & useful framing of technical debt as epistemological issue!

Creating records of what we know and also creating a system that ensures future generations can understand those records is pretty much all the difference there is between us and other animals. I've been thinking a lot about this lately wrt education, so this post is hitting me in stride.
It has to in order to do things that scale.

I can buy wonderful handmade artisanal croissants at my local bakery, but they will never feed the number of people that Conagra can. (E.g. They make Peter Pan peanut butter and everything else in your cabinet)

You could host your email with a small family owned and operated company, but it will never be as cheap as gmail.

Imposing legibility is also a requirement to making a market. That's what makes products similar across different manufacturers/providers. Remember the bad old days where this programming language meant you had to use that database? Imposing legibility means that you can swap out one vendor for another! Suddenly, you have the freedom to choose.

It's not weird. One thing that happens with anxiety is that, in many cultures, you start to feel a bit of shame about it. Like, "This is easy, everyone else is doing fine, what's wrong with me?!?" kind of shame. You internalize it and it builds and feeds into the same cycle and promotes the anxiety.

Learning that you're not alone helps to break that cycle (even just for a moment) and brings things into better perspective. One of the key things I had to develop years ago was the skill to restore perspective to my thoughts (that task-breakdown thing is just one thing). When I find myself becoming angry, I have to ask myself, "Is this an appropriate response?" Some drunk just took off the front half of your car? Anger may not be helpful, but it's appropriate. There's no more milk in the fridge? The anger is not warranted, take a breath, realize that you're stressed, and put "milk" on the grocery list.

And substitute all negative emotions into the above. At my worst, I'd get emotionally sad over incredibly tiny things like spilling a bit of salt (not even the whole shaker). Examine that emotion when it rises, don't try to stop it but examine it. Ask if it's appropriate, ask if there's another cause or other factors involved.

It's not necessarily easy, it depends on how stressed you are at the moment. But if you try to make that a habit of thought, over time it becomes easier and almost automatic.

Additionally, please consider seeking out a therapist. Having someone to speak to confidentially and who can help develop these kinds of skills is incredibly helpful.

That begs the question that people "had" to die. That is exactly my problem.
> I'd consider a lack of accessibility to basically be a rogue-like requirement.

I just have to say that's a strange take. Lots of newer traditional RLs are quite accessible and accessibility was a big goal for my game. There's no real reason to have a game use 95 separate key commands. Then again this classification is no less arbitrary than the low value factor "ASCII display" in the Berlin Interpretation.
I think it's more like "I'm not familiar with it and getting it to do something that seems like it should be easy is surprisingly hard, even though I'm putting in some effort." I've become pretty good at jq lately, but for several years before that I would occasionally have some problem that I knew jq could solve, and resolved to sit down and learn the damn thing already, and every time, found it surprisingly difficult. Until you get a really good understanding of it (and good techniques for debugging your expressions), it's often easier just to write a python script.

I love jq, and without detracting from it, gron looks like an extremely useful, "less difficult" complement to it.
I would never recommend <Foo>WRT to anyone.

It's a shiny toy to play with. However, it has so many weird bugs that never get addressed that it's just not worth the grief.

Why can't the wired ping the wireless but the wireless can ping the wired? Why can I connect every device except my Samsung phone? Why is my throughput so much worse than the manufacturer firmware? Why are the LED's doing weird things that correspond to nothing useful?

I've never even tried IPv6 on a <Foo>WRT because it's handling of basic IPv4 stuff is so dreadful.

(Please don't read this is as dig on the <Foo>WRT developers--they're doing their best. However, the sheer variety of platforms, the lack of documentation, and the small number of developers simply creates an impossible situation.)
Huh. I'm a BigLaw partner. I have to say, your post is barely coherent. I come away still unsure of what you're doing/wanting/trying to communicate. It's a diatribe of "crazy attorney" as you state in your title, but is also worrisome in the tone and tenor. It's no secret that BigLaw has a tendency to break people. You shouldn't be ashamed of it. Mental health is important. Before you hurt yourself or others, I would recommend you seek help.

Yeah, if you're trying to guard against brute force attacks, having a hash that takes one second to generate seems like it would be pretty effective. Maybe not against an attacker with nearly unlimited computing resources, but then again, what really can stand up to that?

EDIT: No, I'm not really right about this, as explained here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25011716
This is a very US-centric approach to set a standard for having your ID on your phone. Why not calling it simply Mobile ID and having the driver license as one of the data records or features? That would be more natural design.
If we assume the existence of technologies that make a Martian colony possible, the same technologies would make asteroid mining even more viable. Now the complex manufacturing is a whole other set of problems. Unless someone invents a magical 3d printer capable of producing modern CPUs in-situ directly from raw materials, this kind of infrastructure would be the real bottleneck for any Martian self-sustainability dreams.

I don't think that's what 'had' means in this context if you read it more charitably.

You can rephrase as 'it's sad anyone died, no matter which side they were on or how they ended up in that situation' if you find it confusing otherwise.
Thank you, this is maybe my point: don't use this 'technical debt' term that everybody and their horse abuses, but use those concepts that are also well-understood in other industries.

Does that sound acceptable?
> It's not my fault that you have a shitty ISP.

Really don't think you're grasping this and lack an understanding of packet routing.

Please type:

traceroute apache.org

It's not just your ISP that's potentially shitty, it's every single hop on that list. Even worse if the person is using an open wifi connection.

Apache will happily serve you an insecure connection, they are the 80th top site on the internet. This type of stuff should be called out by technologists and it's incredibly disappointing when its handwaved away.

Because that'd give them less opportunities for tracking everyone across the internet.

It's not supposed to be a foolproof solution. The point is to prevent the officer from casually looking through your photos/texts after you gave him the phone.
I just finished reading The Name of the Wind, a fantasy novel where the organizational scheme of the library at a magical University is a minor plot point. Every time the school gets a new Master Archivist they come in with bright and ambitious ideas about how the catalogue should be organized and abandon their predecessor's scheme, with the result that centuries later there are dozens of overlapping and even explicitly competing systems extant in the library and many books are basically impossible to find. This, too, reminds me of basically every large codebase I've ever seen.
It sucks but I don't think they are doing it out of spite. They are doing what they need to do to survive since they don't want to risk losing this one large client and having the entire consultancy go under.

Approach the situation with grace and tact. Tell them you understand their position. Either you or the company should propose the terms. Ideal terms to me would be (if you were full time)

1. Company treats it as a layoff and you are able to claim unemployment insurance. However you need to check the rules in your state for how this might work.

2. You get some severance. Standard is a week for every year of employment. Honestly you'd be lucky to get any but 1-2 weeks worth would be reasonable.
You and I clearly live in a different US.

How do you know? You didn’t know about MH case until now? 2years on. what’s not saying his parents are elderly and are not on the internet? That his friends are not recognising him due to the hiker association and maybe the beard and hat has altered his appearance a lot. Especially with the weight lost he would of experienced during the hike.

He wrote whole notebooks, that doesn’t scream I’m walking into woods to die and don’t want anyone to know. It was the AT and then the FL that’s hardly the wilderness.

He could of just been a private person and never thought he see the hikers again so didn’t give to much away. He could have experienced some sort of mental illness and wasn’t in his right mind to know what he wanted.
Interesting story. Failed as a car salesman, the Swedish entrepreneur created an option for inter-city travel where none existed.

> Wickman decided to start transporting workers between Hibbing and Alice, a mining town two miles away. Cramming 15 passengers into his eight-seat “touring car,” the 27-year-old charged 15 cents a ride. On his first trip, in 1914, Wickman collected a grand total of $2.25.

This is the car he used for the first few rides [0].

Every time i fire a data scientist the earnings grow
The last time I rode a Greyhound was in 2003 to go pick up a car I was buying. It was still in the "Dirty Dog" era, and it was memorable for the acute hearing the driver had, able to pick up someone in the 12th row listening to music without headphones, and his subsequent yelling at them to turn it down.

I think they're heading in the right direction these days. I have seen reviews that say the buses are clean, generally on time, and pretty nice with leather seats.
Do we need to use visible light? Often when speaking of light people mean the entire electromagnetic spectrum. X-rays can be 10 picometers, but would that be too much energy?

No, we just have a different idea of how low trust can go.

I spend ~0 time considering the quality or contents of the goods I purchase at my local grocer. There's some produce I avoid, but they aren't hiding the quality of what is sitting out.

What do you do if you aren't sure what is in a box?

The hash they chose takes one second on their host. bcrypt and scrypt provide better guarantees in terms of computation complexity.
