Condensing the 10 minute rant into a few bullet points so you don’t have to...

Eight paragraphs in, we start:

* “If I’m traveling for an event, everyone at work knows I’m “away” and there’s a respect for it.”

So a respect will be gained for the virtual equivalent...a solvable problem for local management and the subculture in question. May take time. Valid point.

* “Many of the most valuable skills I learned happened not during the scheduled sessions, but after hours in the hotel lobby over drinks while nerding out and sharing sourcing hacks with fellow attendees. During a virtual happy hour, it was nice to see old friends on screen. But there were glaring reminders that it wasn’t the same.”

The only specifics about what “wasn’t the same” was “many had important concerns that made them unable to attend, like helping their kids with school work.” How can that not be even more true for physical conferences? It sounds like the author is jealous the kids were very visibly taking precious playtime away from the author and their colleagues during summer vacation. Or one particular playmate has a wife and family and is staying with them instead of her.

What “skills” are learned during a happy hour? You can make contacts, socially bond, and get a heads-up on new things...but develop skills? No.

Nerding out? Is that a thing professionals say, or ever said?

* “On top of missing everything we love about in-person events, we’re just burnt out. Attendees are burnt out from using zoom every day while working from home and then also attending full conferences online. There are so many events to choose from, it’s overwhelming.”

Choice is bad, apparently. It is blowing the author’s mind. Physical breaks from video meetings might be a very good thing, but that isn’t specific to conferences. It’s even more true for day-to-day work life. Virtual conferences have the benefit of even more logistical savings in time and money.

And finally

* “I believe they can [virtual conferences be improved], but I think they will always have limitations. They won’t ever come close to being as impactful as in-person events. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with acknowledging that.”

There is something wrong with making an assertion with as few specifics as this article.

The author may be right that physical conferences are more impactful. How many marriages, divorces, STDs, espionage contacts started from a chance meeting at a conference? It was a common trope in TV shows in the 1960s and 1970s. Binge drinking was also heavily featured.
Why would that be better than just shutting off the delivery stack altogether?
The Power of Birdsong
Using the term “computer language” was an unforced error. Made perfect sense intuitively yet one could argue it’s a disservice since, as others have pointed out, it lights up completely different sections of the brain.
It's an RPG, not a tactical sim shooter. What's with this criticism?
I think you're seeing it out of context.

I'd agree, it's not about volume.

I'd disagree about your supposition of an 'maximizing the number of people who go to one's web page', which the rest of your post alludes to. Most smart online marketers are concerned with conversions rates, not volume of visitors. ROI as you mention with $X and $Y

The point is about how people discover new information. As an end user, on which platform, how that platform allows me to discover the new information, are there platform or result alternatives etc etc.

IF we're reducing my online information discovery to "how advertisers can effectively make an ROI out of me", especially from one or two portals, I suspect the outcome is I'm being duped or at the very least, shortchanged of all the other sources that should be available to me.

I think I got this completely wrong. What you and other responses are saying makes sense.
That's true of probably 90% of ROM images though. To get most SNES ROMs to work you need to not only emulate the SNES console itself but also emulate the individual game's chipset. Most SNES games use one of the following expansion chipsets:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Super_NES_enhancement_...

Many SNES games include one-off chipsets that common SNES emulators implement as well; for example just something simple like saving your game can't be done on an SNES and needs an expansion chip.
At one point, I didn't know Perl and had to work on a project with it.

For a while I was cursing the arcane syntax such as $_, $\ and even $ on a variable to the left of the equal sign...

and then something weird happened. Those things became idioms in my mind and I started achieving a sort of fluency.

And when I started to think in perl, I found it to be the highest-level language I had EVER worked in. I could express myself because there were multiple ways to do something and one always matched what I was thinking.

For example, instead of having to think IF NOT SOMETHING I could UNLESS SOMETHING and then express it as

unless(something) { do_something(); }

or even:

do_something() unless something;

Now I like the idea of regular expressions, but I find the implementation leaves a lot to be desired. or should I say implementations plural.

To me, the main usability problem with regular expressions boils down this: it is hard to distinguish between a literal and a regex control character.

This is exacerbated because regex control characters are usually the same characters other languages treat specially as well.

So you have regular expressions - which are somewhat straightforward, but you have to escape them for the place you are USING the regular expression - perl, shell script, sed, awk, grep or egrep, etc.

So I've used regular expression for decades, and even now it's always subject to a little trial and error and requires testing.

> in fact the government does have the right to do that

Not necessarily.

It is certainly true that the government has the power to do it. But the point of having a free country with the rule of law is supposed to be that might does not make right. The fact that the government can take your house if it decides it wants to does not, in itself, mean it has the right to.

Any such right ultimately depends on the government being responsible to the people and the people accepting that the government is acting in their interest and that what it does is for the overall good of society. The larger and more bureaucratic the government becomes, and the more it uses its power based on utopian visions of people who do not suffer the consequences if they are wrong, the harder it is for the people to accept that the government is acting in their interest and that what it is doing is for the overall good of society.

> Probably they’re afraid because it might be related to their day job :/

A slightly more common scenario is an employer that insists on "we own everything, related to your job or not, that you do even on your own time and equipment" clauses in employee contracts even though such clauses don't happen to be enforceable in the relevant jurisdiction.

Rather than having to "clear through your manager and legal" every little thing to get it added to your contract's personal IP whitelist, publishing anonymously makes perfect sense, where the plan is to de-anonymize after employment ends, at which point (should said now-former-employer have a hissy fit), their own counsel will eventually inform them they don't have a leg to stand on. After sending at least one threatening letter, of course.

Another solution is to spam your manager (and legal) with every trivial 'invention' that pops into your head until they relent[0][1], but that can burn though political capital you may prefer to use for other purposes, and will probably only narrow the scope rather than remove the unenforceable clause.

They've been failing to even issue fines, let alone enforce them.

Both for competence reasons (see also: the collapse of the AIQ enforcement, and the climb-downs in Mariot and BA cases) and for... I don't know why in the adtech case.

The ICO has evidence of wide-scale criminal behaviour in the adtech industry.

And yet they flat-out refuse to take enforcement action.

They're even proud of the fact they're refusing to do their job - they put it in their annual report!

And even in their non-data protection duties, they've all but given up enforcing the Freedom of Information Act. Statutory timelines are apparently now utterly meaningless. The ICO has even stopped publishing data on compliance levels.

It looks like Denham wants to spend her time as Information Commissioner issuing tough-sounding press releases and threatening (but ultimately flawed) pre-enforcement notices and then using the publicity from those to become a Thought Leader in AI ethics.

Trouble with it is that they often times don’t include a ground wire. All the thermostat does is connect the power wire to the given function wire (like “fan on” or “heat pump 1 on”. I am not an expert but having installed a number of thermostats in a number of homes, all the manuals talk about the ground wire being rare and I have never seen one. If you are lucky you might have an unused wire that you can find a ground for, but I have only seen that once. Somehow when houses are wired it seems the HVAC people are very efficient with using the exact right number of wires in a single cable.

The iPhone 12 Pro is better than EVIL & DSLR cameras, and that mostly comes down to software.

A lot of the comments seem to be discussing social anxiety, which is not the same as loneliness. In my late-teens and early-20s I was extremely anxious in social situations but I did not feel lonely. Social anxiety, and the isolation that often results from it, can contribute to a person feeling lonely but the two concepts are not synonymous.

As I understand it, loneliness is a psychological state that results when a person feels deprived of meaningful contact with other humans. Very few people can maintain their sanity and well-being completely cut off from their fellow humans (the proverbial hermit living contently in the wilderness with only himself for company is a rare phenomenon) but how much and what type of social contact an individual needs to maintain their equilibrium varies wildly.

So, it is impossible to determine how lonely a given person is only by looking how much time they spend alone or how anxious they are in social situations.

Mostly because I'm using kitty [0] and the tab and split-view handling in it is super quick and effortless. For example instead of opening a :vsplit in vim I just split my terminal and open a second instance on vim on the same file. You lose pretty much all the advanced buffer handling that vim offers, but I never used them much in the first place.

It's a bit crude but I really like how it results in a uniform way of working in the terminal. As opposed to handling different files and processes depending on what applications is currently running.

This is a great site. A few pieces of unsolicited feedback from a marketing perspective:

* Always have the call to action repeated at the bottom of the page; you did a great job having it above the fold, but I got to the end and had to scroll back up to express intent. That's a flowbreaking design.

* This is purely stylistic, but I strongly prefer the first letter of each line to be capitalized. I find the stylistic inconsistency around capitalization offputting.

* You have pretty nicely made docs, consider making the link to view the sample chapters a clickable picture of the first diagram-page in your chapter.

Does 'convo' refer to a 2D convolution or a 1D convolution? Given the large number [1] of arguments that a convolution can take, which ones are being specified? I can probably guess, since only 2 are given, but if there were more, which order would they be in and which would refer to which?

The code is on github [2, 3] see for yourself if you think it's more or less obvious than the python equivalent of a 'trivial' network.

I would say 'conv2d' is probably reasonably standard in meaning; I refer to 'convo' as arbitrary, because it is. Either (ideally) avoid abbreviations, or use standard ones.

The amount of time we have is finite, attaching a dollars per hour figure to it is a hilariously bad metric to judge how much value entertainment has. People don't play X's and O's all day because it's great value.

I agree with the others that the right answer is don't. But if you are going to anyways a way to do it less idiotically is to use the 'static password' feature of a YubiKey. [0] That at least eliminates the desire to pick too simple of a password or to not change it on a regular basis for fear of having to memorize a new password. This doesn't protect against a malicious insider giving the password away but it makes it easy to use a strong (randomly generated) password.

The Foveon, which is used in Sigma cameras.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foveon_X3_sensor

It hasn’t really gone anywhere. Partly because of technical issues of getting the signal out of the layers of photosites, but also, I think, because of good ol’ Moore’s Law. (Or Dennard scaling, whatever.) Back in the days of 3-megapixel cameras, it would have mattered a lot to have every photosite be a full RGB capture, but now that we’re at such high resolutions, you’re pretty much always downscaling to display the image, so you don’t need that per-pixel perfection.

And, you can do tricks like sensor shift, where you pop a camera on a tripod and use the image stabilization mechanism to shift the sensor subtly to create a very high resolution sample.
