I would tolerate auto loans as well.

Tolerate, maybe, but I avoid going into debt to acquire depreciating assets. Even if the loan interest rate is zero, the rate of depreciation needs to be accounted for, even though I don't get a tax deduction for the depreciation of my personal car.
The Polls Weren’t Great. But That’s Pretty Normal
Oh! facepalm
I think you're on the edge of describing bitemporal databases. You have a range which represents "time over which this fact is asserted to be true" and a second range for "time during which the assertion was recorded as valid". These typically get called "valid time" and "transaction time".

You can express forecasts this way. The valid time range is the range for which you assert a given forecast is going to be true. The transaction time range is the time during which you held that forecast to be the current forecast.

Using transaction time you can then reconstruct your state of belief from any point in time. Using valid time you can make assertions about any fact in ranges over the past, present or future.

I think Snodgrass's Developing Time-Oriented Database Applications in SQL[0] is still the best overall introduction, though the SQL used is fairly dated (ha). The relevant Wikipedia entry is OK too[1].

Yeah, I'm definitely up for doing that. I don't need to go back to fractions, but I think I'd like to start from the beginning of basic algebra. I figure that even if I know the material, the practice will help before I move on.
I am reading all this Figma talk in utter disbelief. Actually in my view Sketch never had a chance to replace Illustrator or Affinity Designer. Figma? For collaboration if use case is demanding it may be. But suddenly UI design field is filled with decorators doing boxes with drop shadow but having "Designer"opinions. May be I am in mostly silent minority of professionals that don't search and prize tools over essential skills. As a designer your work must be detached of workflow sentiments. Tools are tools. Nothing more. I can make a great UI with Inkscape any day I want. I can implement and test it in pure HTML/CSS prototype. So what? On Apple and cloud computing in general. I like owning things, call me old-fashioned, boomer, or whatever. When I own a piece of software, I can use it without someone logging my mouse and keyboard, without fear of losing internet connection. Is this a small thing to behold?

It's best to read the 1st linked article and https://blog.khinsen.net/posts/2020/07/08/the-landscapes-of-...

But if you want something shorter, ponder this: What percentage of journal article material makes it to textbooks, and how has that changed over time?
As phones are most users' primary computing device, I imagine desktop computers will become stateless machines with big displays and keyboards for users to dock their phone. The user will be able to access their phone's apps and data on the desktop computer, perhaps also offloading computation to faster desktop CPUs.
What you want to accomplish here is one of the most basic tasks in Live. If you can’t commit to learning at least this small thing you might as well not even attempt to use Live.
I don't get this honestly. None of us will like if our photos are used for ads as they are deeply personal. How do you think this should be monetized then?
So if I upgrade my photos don't upgrade to full res automatically, but if I download them they are actually full res?
I don't have the original photos anymore, that's why I'm asking if Google keeps the full res and I'm able to retrieve them with a paid plan.
> I'm glad to see this very reasonable take so far

What, ultimately, were preppers better prepared for?

Anyone could make a cotton mask out of a t-shirt. The mask policy was a governance error. Having N95 masks as preppers did is as far off the mark from "cotton mask" as not wearing a mask at all, preppers would still run out of N95s, they'd still use a cotton mask, N95s were still overkill.

Besides masks, was there anything the public really needed that it could not get but could have stored inside their basement? Toilet paper? That's what you will summon as, "Preppers averted a life crisis."

How are you going to doomsday prep "elective surgeries" and "ICU beds?" That's what there were real shortages of. It's ridiculous.
There may always be a small group of dedicated Mac development enthusiasts, but the last decade has shown that companies will trade performance and frame rates for maximum usefulness and time to market.

Apple's performance boosts will reward those companies who never valued performance. Why would they change their approach now?
Wait, why can't OpenBSD handle Bluetooth? Is it just that the same chip is used for both wireless protocols and it doesn't support them yet?

That linked article from 2016 is about Intel's Custom Foundry program, which I'm fairly sure is for building chips under contract to other companies. It promotes that they have "access to ARM Artisan IP," but doesn't specifically mention an ARM version of MKL that I see. The list of compatible hardware Intel's page on MKL itself lists compatible processors and ARM is conspicuously absent:

https://software.intel.com/content/www/us/en/develop/tools/m...

And, this question on Intel's own forums from 2016 at least suggests that there wasn't an MKL version for ARM in the time frame of the article you're linking to, either:

https://community.intel.com/t5/Intel-oneAPI-Math-Kernel-Libr...

So, from what I can tell, while Intel is an ARM licensee and made ARM CPUs in the past, they haven't made their own ARM CPUs for years and there's no sign they ever made MKL for any ARM platform. Never say never, but I think the OP is basically right -- there's not a lot of incentive for Intel to produce one.
Is it cheaper and better though?

You will need to setup redundancy if you use your own hardware, verify your client and server scripts, take care of encryption etc.

Also, syncing anyone from Dropbox to Onedrive can do. I like the photo tagging to be powerful when I am looking for old photos.
> Presumably the governments who purchased systems from Crypto AG had people educated in security do some due diligence on Crypto AG's products before purchasing them.

Presumably they didn't. The article states "employees in the engineering and research departments repeatedly identified vulnerabilities in the products’ designs that they were mysteriously prevented from fixing", which implies that all it takes is for competent people to view the source code to expose the sort of fraud that was happening here.
Democracy works when you have an educated and informed group trying to make rational choices in a limited context.

It falls apart as soon as you have huge disparities in privilege, wealth, and education in a nation state - manipulated by industrial narrative management techniques engineered by small privileged castes fighting hard to keep and enhance their caste privileges at the expense of everyone else.

They're not comparable situations. There is no sense in which democracy can ever be a solution in the latter, because it doesn't exist in the first place.

You need relative equality of power between participants and groups for democracy to be viable, and as soon as that disappears - it's gone.
I find it funny that the 'lone wolf' survivor is the archetype of a prepper. It doesn't matter how much food, water, guns or ammo you have. Isolation makes you vulnerable. You cannot hope to have a proper 'watch', even with a small family. I'd expect 'tribe' size groups to be much more successful.
"can be" isn't good enough. There's a lot of stuff we could do, but won't. I'll take my chances with the nuclear powerplants, thank you.
All the prepped were feeling pretty good back in March/April.

But I agree with you. I always make sure we have some emergency food, water, basic power needs, heat and communication options.
I don't think it's to do with that. I think it's just a reflection that google is a large company with lots of different products, half of which are providing de facto free cloud storage, despite the fact that Google has a cloud storage offering. Also, by pushing the storage limit to onto a single Google account (rather than individual accounts for each product) they can push you into their suite of products (if you're already using the app with a rainbow coloured box icon they can push you to look at those other icons: like rainbox coloured box, or other rainbox coloured box, and the rainbow coloured box with a squiggle)

To be fair I would consider this a feature. This is how I expect trash to work. Someone takes it away on occasion.

Oh, I missed this. I wonder how they are counting it? After all as a user you don't really have any insight on how much space a doc actually uses. I guess they are going to create some metric?
> Currently my model is predicting a peak of around 140,000 average weekly new cases right around Thanksgiving with a steep decline due to herd immunity thereafter. It is also predicting that the Pandemic will be pretty much over by the end of February.

No one else is predicting anything like this. Makes the whole article a little suspect.
I'm in an autocratic nation right now, and I just realized how much relaxed it is reading the news (not that I support autocracy in any way). It honestly stymies me how much bandwidth political discussions have taken over the years on the news spectrum in most democratic nations, regardless of development status. On the contrary, news in open autocracies seem to be more of the local type, focused on hyper local issues. And then there are the poser democracies such as Russia, Egypt or China, where news is highly nationalized dogshit, focused on how their enemies are bad, we are good and our government is the greatest.
Congratulations for this service to democracy. I applaud to it!!!!

Debt is a useful tool for investing in a business, or as leverage to afford a large purchase when the interest rate is particularly low (read: a mortgage).

If you want to own and grow a business that requires capital outlay or hiring people, there's practically no way to get started without taking on some debt. But if you're just working a W-2 job, have stable income, and live within your means, then the only "reasonable" debt to have is a mortgage and _maybe_ a car payment.

Plenty of people use debt wrong and that's why it gets a bad rep. Poor communities are often not taught proper financial management and may use credit card balances and payday loans because they believe that's what necessary to survive. Even though in the end, they are handing over a sizeable chunk of their modest income for no good reason.

Middle-class people wind up in bankruptcy because they use debt to fund luxury purchases that they didn't need and arguably couldn't afford. (Cars, boats, McMansions, etc).
FTA: "Ultimately, package registries need to align their incentives with those of maintainers."

Putting it all on the registries to come up with a viable business model and provide this to maintainers without any responsibility[1] on the part of the maintainer seems really one-sided.

It costs quite a bit of money to run something like Docker Hub or NPM. If you want something aligned software maintainers first and foremost, you want a non-profit / foundation that's got priorities aligned with the larger community and not a for-profit entity that has to justify keeping the lights on.

Kinda silly headline, too. There are many package registries, but we only see two here that have business models interfering with distribution of software. Only one that's really impeding the ability to host software elsewhere if you don't like their business model.

Docker Hub's rate limits seem unlikely to impact most usage of Docker, and people who're pulling 200 images every six hours should either seek to set up their own registry to take the load off Docker Hub or throw some money to help shoulder the costs. Even if the user's only grabbing Alpine images at 5MB per image, 200 in six hours starts to add up!

[1] Granted maintainers may do a lot of work in actually maintaining the software.

Whoever wrote this is a charlatan who can't even figure out which words are capitalized in English.

She has no expertise in epidemiology. Her projections are a joke.

She thinks "herd immunity" is a thing. It's not. At least it's not proven to be, with covid-19, and we are so far away from attaining any useful degree of "herd immunity" that it's painfully premature to even mention it right now.

She's still right that family get-togethers for Thanksgiving are an idiotic idea, though.
> Divorce is one of the most financially devastating events that can occur in your life (besides unexpected medical expenses)

I agree with your overall comment. It should be pointed out that, other than lawyer costs, divorce tends to be zero sum. So if it is financially devastating for one party, it tends to be a financial windfall for the other. Divorces can be equitable, or they can be lopsided, but don’t net destroy much value unless the parties are spiteful and deliberately destroy their own value.
To summarize, the author estimates that 120k lives could be saved if everyone who plans to travel home for the holidays gets tested prior to traveling (and avoids travel if they test positive).

In addition, the author makes some unsupported claims that the COVID-19 epidemic in the U.S. will subside in Feb. 2021 due to herd immunity.
I just recently finally bought Strang's introduction to Linear Algebra. The book itself is very dense and, dare I say, scary to a newcomer, but his videos are amazingly clear in combination with the book.

I am in the beginning, but so far, I'd recommend the book. Though, the steep price (almost 100USD over here) makes it a bit difficult to recommend. I might buy Boyd’s and Vandenberghe’s Introduction to Applied Linear Algebra later and write a comparison.
Depends how lazy you are!
Laws that give out free stuff are especially sticky.
That looks great, thanks so much for that. The professor Leonard channel looks perfect, especially as it starts at pre-algebra. I'm not sure what that covers, that was a long time ago, but it would be good to cover that again just to ease myself into it.

While Java GC on Android may not always be optimal in regards to memory utilization (given that there are other concerns) and AFAIK doesn't allow tuning like you can do for enterprise Java apps it seems like quite a few improvements have been made over time and many GC implementations have resulted from this: https://proandroiddev.com/collecting-the-garbage-a-brief-his...

Personally, i'd look at how common cross-platform apps are and how many of the frameworks (like Ionic and React Native) don't always use the native system UI in an efficient manner.

It seems a bit like running Electron apps on GNU/Linux and being puzzled about where all of the RAM goes.

Inside my community bubble, this is basically the biggest reason. They don't want to subsidize (through taxes), using their own words, people who don't work to support themselves or illegal immigrants.

Some of the people (again, inside my own life) with this opinion don't have, or even seem to care that they don't have, health insurance themselves.
Yes, that’s a great structure! The only minor thing that I missed was a final section summarizing their lessons learned.
This reminds me of Operation Gladio. In each country only a selected group knows about its existence and many politicians had no idea that it existed in their country.
Totally agree with this post...however, to be extremely pedantic (and thus not suitable for the article in question), a tuple in the foundations of mathematics is typically defined as a set. That is, (x,y) := {x,{x,y}}, where the latter is the set containing the element x and the set {x,y}. That is how one goes from axiomatic set theory to define tuples of numbers.
Had similar, had a severe reaction to the newer class blood thinners.
Nurse at hematologists swore up and down that no one has reactions to it. Studies all prove that. Called me a liar.

Well started dealing with other specialist because I was having severe problems due to this medication.

Vascular and others all gave me warnings as they had been seeing a lot of problems.
I found out the studies were done mostly in China, and were suspect.

Hematologist let me know I wasn’t allowed to come in because I wanted to switch. Mocked me for looking things up.

I had not taken it in 3 days and was already losing vision. So waiting months for another practice was a death sentence.

That was my breaking point. Stopped being Mr. polite.

First time I ever screamed and threatened a lawsuit.

Got my new medication. Life got better.

Also yeah antibiotics definitely can have a powerful effect.

Oddly I was diagnosed correctly due to how I responded to certain antibiotics.
While I have nothing but great things to say about my time at university, I always found it comical how grounded they were in their traditions.

Even under lockdown they refuse to record lectures, forcing the student to make sure they attended their 9am Saturday lecture, or miss the lecture and most definitely not understand any future lectures.

This becomes even more comical when you realise the lecturer is just reciting their own lecture notes and writing out the equations on the blackboard (not whiteboard of course!). However, I will always admire Professor Tim Gowers for teaching an entire Analysis course with no lecture notes and coming up with all of the proofs on the spot.

With respect to your question, I did something similar, getting decent A-level results but then, er, having other things to do for 10 years. I went back and worked through my A-level textbooks again at 28, I found it quite helpful knowing "that I had done this before" and I think it got me back up to speed quite quickly (a summer).
How many times do we have to go over this? This is a fucking stupid way to do things. You are infectious before testing positive.

Google Fiber has such limited availability. The promise of widespread bandwidth has not met the hype. For those who have it I'm sure it's good. But like Google Glass, this has somewhat limited appeal to the "rest of us"
I just used my own docker repo right from the start, precisely to make sure it'll be on a domain that I control.

In my opinion, every open source project using a foreign-owned domain as their main distribution method is just naive. Of course you'll never be able to keep things constant, because you never had any power over that domain.
