Both audio and transcripts are quite routinely cleaned up for broadcast and publication. Enough so on NPR / public radio that it's a signature. With some exceptions, but those are exceptions:

It’s no secret that pre-taped interviews on public radio are edited, sometimes considerably. Short silences and stumbles are “cleaned up.” Digressions or parenthetical remarks within an answer are removed in what are called “internal edits.” Often entire blocks of Q&A are excised. The cuts are made to bring the conversation down to time and present it in its most compelling form....

“Cleaning up” tape. This refers to removing ums and ahs, as well as stumbles and pauses, from an answer. Most of the time this is fine, as long as you are not removing something that suggested the interviewee was reluctant or unable to respond to a question....

My exposure to the darkroom began when I edited my first story. I sat at the digital editing console with a producer, listening to an interview with a source I had recorded earlier. With just strokes of the keyboard, he cleaned up and tightened the sound bites I was going to use, taking out sentences, words and even some of the pauses, making what are called "internal edits." Then the various thoughts were woven together technically in a way that would be totally hidden to the listener.

An intelligent verbatim transcript attempts to capture what was said rather than how it was said. The main priority being content and “voice”, while leaving out repeated words and fillers.

The aim of an intelligent verbatim interview transcript has less to do with depicting accents or involuntary vocalization. It has more to do with accuracy of the substance of the research interview, considering the meanings and perceptions created and shared during a conversation. And this is why this style of transcription is so popular, because it provides a more readable transcript while staying true to the voice and intended meaning of the participants.

And on the other side: I very much notice the difference between a corded mouse and a Bluetooth mouse (not a cheap one). It's not unusable, but frustrating enough that I prefer the corded ones. And I'm not a gamer, just doing office stuff, browsing and programming.
SBCL has a manual, your main questions are answered in it: http://www.sbcl.org/manual/

Under the dev-tools/editor section you'll see slime mentioned. It too has a manual: https://www.common-lisp.net/project/slime/doc/html/

It's common to use slime with emacs, but vim and atom work too. Slime includes a lisp program called swank which sets up a simple server that clients like emacs can open a socket to. In Common Lisp, "compile", "eval", "load", "break", etc. are built-in functions. Lisp programs are 'alive' and can be constructed or debugged and updated by compiling and executing bit by bit without having to suspend or restart the process, using the socket to communicate how to grow. Some examples are in this several part series you can take 10 mins to browse through: https://malisper.me/debugging-lisp-part-1-recompilation/ Going beyond that into say developing a full application with version pinning of dependencies and tests is documented in books/in pieces on the web (CL cookbook has a lot).

But manuals tell a lot too. Under SBCL's Saving a Core Image, you can see a standalone executable can be made with save-lisp-and-die. But you can also load things with --script if you want a python or node like experience.

Why not both? At first a few strands of one cable are snapping. Then the remaining strands break altogether. Then the remaining cables also break. Finally, one of the towers fails because it's designed to take a vertical load and suddenly it is supporting a net horizontal load.
They barely had funding to do maintenance. There's no money to build a whole new one. The NSF is under contract to return the site to its original natural state. (I can't find a recent source for this but it's mentioned in https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/search-for-alien-... )
If I was building a company today I would use Earthly instead of Buck, Bazel or Please. I think Earthly gets out of the way of actually low-level builds and instead focusing on high-level, Dockerised targets. The benefits range from allowing proper IDE support, to very easy system/integration tests, while still reaping the benefit of remote execution and aggressive caching.
When you jumped between these AWS instance types did you tune / monitor to see what resources were becoming constrained? Or can you provide some details on network / VPC setup and changes to http connection pools in the AWS SDK? Since timescaledb is communicating over HTTP through the AWS client, I'm wondering how much you can tune to eek out performance there. I've been burned so many times across AWS services on classes of error like this that I'm just casually curious, not that anything was done "wrong".
Any of the companies I've worked with (and I've worked with many) are large enough and have been around long enough to understand that re-architecting apps, doing lift-and-shifts, re-training employees, or anything like that is an inevitable cost of doing business that is going to happen every couple of years no matter what, so any time fretting about "lock in" would ultimately be a waste of time.

And perhaps more importantly to these companies, lock-in is more than worth it if it means benefiting from some real revenue or cost optimizations. Paying $3 to "unlock" from a platform is more than worth it if said platform gave me $5 of benefit.

the value of something like bitcoin is generally going to be related to the value of the network. if you can envision it being more useful in the future, consider what the function is, and what it means for the value of the network as a whole.

some examples to explain what i'm saying, not necessarily what i think will happen per se

bitcoin replaces, or at least augments, gold as a "store of value inflation hedge" - in theory it should be a great inflation hedge. there are a limited number of bitcoin, 21 million max, but we keep printing trillions and trillions of new dollars. gold also doesn't do anything productive, it just sits there and acts as a hedge on inflation.

in this scenario, the market cap of gold is something like 8 trillion. if bitcoin takes some of this job, it's market cap must get a lot bigger. functionally, we have 8 trillion "dollars" of wealth that are currently stored in gold. if we wanted to "store" 8 trillion "dollars" of wealth in bitcoin, we can't currently. the entire market cap of bitcoin is only a few hundred billion. For it to be an inflation hedge on the scale of gold, the price has to rise tremendously.

this same calculation can be done for whatever potential usefulness you come up with. Like if you think it can replace the USD as a reserve currency for setting international oil trades, the market cap of bitcoin has to get exponentially bigger just to handle the scale of those markets.

now, i don't think it's likely to become the world's reserve currency, certainly not anytime soon, but if it were you can see where it would have to have more value to be able to do so. I do think it is a great inflation hedge, and I think lots of money managers are going to start recommending to client to put 1-3-5% of their portfolios into bitcoin as a hedge. That's happening right now. IF that goes mainstream, the market cap of bitcoin HAS to go up significantly to handle all that new demand, given that the supply is capped.

There's legalising, and then there's decriminalising. For hard drugs, the latter sounds quite useful.

I should have been more clear: new crypto projects rarely have pedigreed founders anymore.
Don’t you find it mind blowing that after such a short time on the market, it already has 1/5th of the share of a 5700 XT?

Of course it won’t come close yet to the 2000 series. But what it shows without a doubt is that there was plenty of supply and that gamers bought it.

There is no reason to think at this time that supply was lower than any other launch before it.

But demand was way higher.

I like the cut of your jib. Also a never-user, but I've always thought that criminalizing the manufacture and distribution of drugs was the lazy way to combat the problem: fewer people to catch, bigger effect on the problem per arrest. It misses the mark of who's doing something really wrong though. I like to refer to dealers as "legitimate businessmen" for fun, because it's largely true. Of course dealers enforcing territory via violence are real criminals, but those problems would evaporate if the trade were no longer illegal.

How do we combat the real toll of drugs on people's personal well-being then? A lot of them lead to broken lives. You could ban use, but that's hard to enforce and infringes on liberty. Instead, I would like to see a policy where your access to social safety nets is taken away when you're a user. You want to risk it all to get high? Go for it but don't leave us with the bill and having to wring our hands that you ended up homeless.

They're entirely different things.

A Workers' Council is a legally recognized body representing employees of a single employer. It has very limited rights and duties, like being informed in the case of mass layoffs.

A union is a body that represents workers in an entire industry. It can have whatever duties the employees feel like giving it.
Corporate desktop market is interested in exclusively cpu with integrated videos, cheap motherboards and low idle consumption. AMD fails in at least two of these points.
Most things that are illegal have a victim. Murder, robbery, assault, etc. all have a responsible party and an injured party. Nobody expects that making murder illegal will stop all murders, that's a silly argument. You have to have some kind of justice, though.

This is why criminalizing drug use is such a unique and unusual case - when a person does drugs, there is no other victim, and yet the state punishes them for it anyway.
Two points here at least worth footnoting:

(1) That poll is from July 2018, and while that's technically recent, in terms of news about big tech that can affect perceptions, a lot's happened in the last two years.

(2) According to the poll, Amazon was the third most-trusted institution among US Republicans, just behind "military" and "local police", and was the second-most trusted institution behind the military across all respondents. I think you're putting more emphasis on partisan affiliation here with respect to Amazon than the data warrants.

> In most of the USA cannabis is much more allowed than in The Netherlands nowadays!

Given what I've seen in the US, I would think legalizing/decriminalizing psilocybin (truffles in NL) to be way more beneficial for Society as a whole. At least offer it as a service for mental health issues rather than drown people in SSRIs and every anti-depressent known to man.

Denver, Oakland, and Oregon now are the only ones where its not met with extremely harsh punishments. And taxes from Cannabis is actually helping create the infrastructure for drug abuse treatment and mental illness in OR, something that Portugal had done much earlier when it decriminalized all drugs.
More like a soft launch from AMD. They launched with a very limited amount of stock available.
a taser is just one point along the use of force continuum. police are trained to always maintain a tactical advantage when confronting someone, but to only go as far along the continuum as is necessary. obviously they don't always do this correctly, and they are granted a lot of leeway when they mess up. it's unclear to me how removing a midpoint along the continuum would reduce instances of excessive force, unless there's something specifically bad about the taser.

it seems to me that it would be better to focus on the negotiation skills themselves; people won't bet their life on skills they don't feel confident in. or better yet, raise the bar for what justifies a confrontation in the first place. the cops who killed freddie gray didn't even have a charge in mind when they decided to pursue him. they chased him just because he ran away.

Not claiming it's a solution of any kind, but it is interesting to get some insight from a country that actually tried to legalize everything.

I agree. But it is a signal, especially in a field filled with as much noise as crypto. When all you have to go by is a whitepaper and a website, past performance of the founders becomes important.
I'm sure there's plenty of RF energy to make a passive phone case that lights up when your phone is transmitting, which would detect this case if you were looking at your phone. Maybe having it emit a tone would be better.

Carmack came first. id's groundbreaking games -- Wolfenstein 3D, Doom, Quake -- were all released by 1996, while Unreal didn't come along until 1998.

It's natural to have a lot of respect for the pioneers because those who come after are building upon what they created.
The anchor is made by unraveling the strands, covering them in concrete, and wedging the solid block in a cone-shaped opening so it can't pull out. One of the other cables also failed at its anchor, which is really not supposed to happen, so maybe something similar happened here. One or two strands managed to pull out of the block individually, leaving enough room for the rest to pull out in one piece?
Yeah except in that case it was illegal collusion rather than principle

The instrument platform was listed at 900 tons. The maximum takeoff weight of a Boeing 787 is just over 500,000 pounds, or 250 tons ... is it fair to say the instrument platform was the equivalent of three fully loaded 787s, plus two M1A1 tanks piled on for good measure? That's a lot of weight for those cables to support.
Colombian here.

If this measure helps to get to a lasting peace in the country by allowing the FARC and remnants to cultivate and have a living, then you also need to factor in the costs of the long running internal conflict and all the military spending and lack of growth due to insecurity that the country has suffered.

The Drug War has had massive collateral damage on the country, and in purely economic terms there is much to gain from ending it.

Back in the mid-90s, this was how many of the high-end web apps were built, using Oracle. Despite its limitations, and Oracle license fees (but back then you were paying for Sun servers anyway), it worked surprisingly well and was a reasonable model for many database-driven web applications. Some of these systems were used for mission-critical global operations handling enormous amounts of money and complex business. It had a lot of advantages versus other web app stacks at the time (commonly a mountain of Perl).

Oracle was happy to sell database licenses but made zero effort to develop this way of using the database as a first-class capability. They were astonished that it even worked as well as it did, they did not expect people to take it that far.

For some types of applications, something along these lines is likely still a very ergonomic way of writing web apps, if the tooling was polished for this use case.
You'll be fine. Amazon didn't become the company it is today by burning out hardworking and talented engineers for no reason. In the scenario I am referring to, the engineer did a very poor job of communication and receiving feedback. When your company is as big as Amazon, you're going to have some people who didn't quite fit. The people who succeeded there don't spend their time talking to journalists or complaining on HN

Overall, I spent my time there working with ambitious and smart people. And money-wise, I feel like you can't work at a safer place in the tech industry then at a FAANG company, particularly Amazon.

That is wrong, we have never been able to use the improvements to the 45+ y/o SWIFT network (Ripple creates) that we can today.

How will you require correspondent banking when 200+ banks are already side-stepping it?

How would you make SWIFT settle accounts more quickly?

How would you remove the incredibly high prices on traditional wire transfers?
From a public policy standpoint—the point of a ban on hard drugs is to improve public health. If hardly anyone uses hard drugs as a result of the ban, then it’s effective. However, if people are using hard drugs anyway and getting punished for it, the ban is not serving its purpose—it’s failing to prevent these people from using hard drugs, and it’s also then punishing these people (which is wrong).

So you have to weigh the negative impact of the punishments and the cost of enforcement against the positive impact of reducing (not eliminating) drug use.
