Hmm that looks slow. Can rust support binary patching like zig or is it impossible with the current design?
You would like wpe back in the day.
Honestly, your tired tirade against cannabis is much more tiring. You obviously have no idea what you’re going on and on about, but you don’t let ignorance stop you from trying to limit the freedoms of others.
Wow, I deeply hope no one’s calling that a nazi salute. They don’t get to own that.
Maybe zram can help you on Ubuntu: https://github.com/ecdye/zram-config

It decreases swapping to disk by using a compressed ramdisk for logs, unused stuff etc. The zram-config from universe may be broken (https://github.com/StuartIanNaylor/zram-swap-config)
It's hard to see what you're getting at here; the sets of people that pay are not the same.
Clever. I guess it’s possible they’ve been doing it this way all along - this is likely what they would have used to film the early ceremonies, so it would’ve been close to hand.

- also, looks like Zeiss designed the original lighting mechanism so even more likely.
Custom Keto Diet Reviews – Does This 8-Week Weight Loss Diet Work?
There are three options, the mRNA "carrier", such as the lipid particle, the mRNA itself, and of course the protein product.

The first part is hard to guess without knowing what's in those delivery methods.

mRNA, or RNA in general, can form secondary structures which in theory could affect the the cell machinery. Depending on the details this could produce side effects to the cells that take up the mRNA. This would probably be localized and a strong secondary structure may inhibit translation also, rendering the vaccine ineffective. This can be checked in silico and in vitro during design to some certainty.

The protein product I would guess is the most likely to cause problems. Essentially you can encode any protein in mRNA, so you could make the cells that take it in produce snake poison, for example, if you wanted to. Depending on how the virus protein is modified, and how it reacts with the cells/body when present apart from the rest of the virus it assembles with could bring all kinds of side effects. The severity probably depends on what exactly it interacts with, and if it's only local or it gets into the bloodstream etc.
This is what happens when you patch-up airframe stability issues with code. We have gone to the point of no return to save one last buck and only the MBA types are to blame for this.

Is there an ELI5 for this? I really don’t understand what was under a quota and what it means that the quota had a grace period.

Did YouTube not update their authentication to a new version of the api, but they had a quota for old api calls that ran out?
A bit of a tangent here. I remember the TV commercials by music labels in the early days of online piracy telling people: "If you download music you're killing the little music shops in your neighborhood!".

The moment labels moved to online streaming, the little shops in your neighborhood could go and f*** off.

The irony was never lost on me.

The complaint by the DOJ alleges that

Jin then tasked a high-ranking employee of Company-1 in the United States to effect the termination of meetings and the suspension and cancellation of user accounts.

Which does sound like corporate policy working through regular channels, but those channels were compromised.

I don't buy (2) at all.

a) I don't think the overlap between postdocs (especially STEM) and those that would work in politics is all that high. I think the vast majority would be working in tech/industry.

b) if this were true we might expect republicans to support government funding for academia over democrats, and the opposite is true.

From my own experience, Spotify is better than going in blind but much worse than using RateYourMusic and superficial scanning of music journalism sites. I've started using Spotify the beginning of the year (Before that a mix and match of Vinyl, Bandcamp and piracy; fuelled by friends, a bit of /mu/, RYM and music journalism) and I've discovered a handful of musicians I didn't know before, but it usually just recommends me stuff I already know (and often don't care for). Conceptually I like their mix of the week playlists, but I prefer listening to whole records, so I often just skip through the playlist until I find something that sounds interesting, which isn't much better than RYM/Journalism, but without any menaningful context (so it's worse).

This is pretty much my favorite recommendation by Spotify: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R9982wYPPm0
It's like a weighting function to your research output: (Pedigree + Name of PI) * first author CNS papers. You sure can succeed with a ton of first author CNS papers, but if you have some good pedigree and name of PI you don't need any many.
The one thing I never got, was how video beat conf calls. I mean, yeah, I do get it on one hand. On the other hand, so, I am so used to conf calls, with their own pitfalls, that I never saw the added value of needing more bandwidth to see bad images of the other people in the call.
It does limit options.

Some wealthy Chinese like to send their children to the US or Europe for University; if he does, he certainly cannot visit them, without the risk of getting arrested.

The US has been doing such things in the past, for example against "cyber" criminals in Russian and other "bullet proof" jurisdictions. Once in a while, they catch somebody who is on vacation in a country that does extradite to the US. It's a long game.
How to write a custom function library for Google Sheets
For maximum readability you want function names which are descriptive, but concise. My personal pet hate is when people make it concise by using acronyms and I’m just left wondering what the hell it stands for.

Personally, I find the ‘in_picture’ suffix superfluous as it’s clear from the input parameter what you’re finding the animal in, but otherwise find it a good name.
>The pilots were not trained properly in emergency procedures with the stab trim. Boeing put out an Emergency Airworthiness Directive after the first crash with explicit instructions on how to deal with it, but the EA pilots did not follow those instructions.

If the planes are still crashing after the "problem" was fixed, then that wasn't the problem.

(Specifically - the "emergency procedures" in question are "what to do if your plane randomly decides to fly you into the ground". The only way to save your skin is to take a specific emergency action within a time window of a few seconds. This is not a reasonable design.)

This is one of the best presentations I have seen in a long time.
Relaxed doesn’t mean hopelessly stringing along a bunch of equivocation nonsense fishing for sympathy. I understand that temporary financial pressures are stressful but that isn’t a concern of the hiring company. Attempts to make it a concern are distractions that end in failure. As unfair as this sounds it looks like weakness.

Instead, focus. Calm down. Think about writing software and building cool products. Redirect your energy into enthusiasm and try to have a conversation about adding value to your potential future employer.
Irregardless of who succeeded in such an exploit, the only high paying buyer that is likely to risk overt use is Russia, hence irregardless of what happened the course of action is to threaten Russia.

The US needs a boogie man but has created its own boogie man gap by destabilizing small safe boogie men.

Really it is a comedy to believe other nations don't have multiple ways into any network exposed to private sector pen testing software, just as it is a joke to believe pen testing will stop an actor that can afford to buy zero days vulnerabilities. If you need pen testing to review the standard vulnerabilities your network has had then you know your network is wide open to anyone with a multi-million dollar budget. You are assuming the US, China, Russia, NK, UK, Canada, ... won't decide this network has the highest value data of all networks they could attack to raise their GDP. There is no real boogie man, there is just a global excess of nationalist oriented powers with no accountability. Powder Keg 2.0.
What exactly makes dentists so apprehensive about performing this procedure? I've heard of practices that insist on general anesthesia myself and I've also seen some who will only offer a referral.
But that’s not the trade off. Rather it’s “would you rather die now, or have lived in a diminished capacity for the last few decades?”
I agree with everything what you said. My collection of MP3 is huge. And collecting this music gave me so much fun. Discovery in Spotify is much less fun. There is no friend with similar taste, no DJ you know from gigs you party, no radio editor which voice you love, it is just an algorithm. And serving content right away fast without searching and waiting makes that one does not listen repeatedly songs just discovered. Just jumping from one to next. This destroys the ritual, which is very important as rituals keep and enforce identity of the listener. When I was listening Goa trance I felt connected to gigs I was partying. When I switched to Legendary Pink Dots or Radio Head I was connected to my inner sorrow and so on and on... It all became more mechanical with streaming, soulless...
back then I used Turbo Pascal first and dabble in its Turbo Vision before knowing the C++ counterpart. For me, the C++ version looks like a port of the Pascal one. IIRC, it even has "uses" like construct. So, for me, the "true" TV is the Pascal one.
Content is not king, and Andrew Odlyzko explains why:

> Investigators accused Boeing and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) officials of "attempting to cover up important information".

This will hamper peoples trust in both Boeing and the FAA for years. It doesn't take much for flyers to choose an alternate flight that isn't on a Boeing. And for overseas aviation authorities to not trust FAA airworthiness certificates.
Nine Lessons from Covid
> Star Wars is supposed to be ancient history

Star Wars is quite a clever setting because it's both vague and incredibly distant, which allows the film makers huge latitude to include tropes from cowboy, ronin, WW2 films etc without the worry of historical inaccuracy.
GCP rollouts happen over four days, and don't run on Friday. So, Monday it is!

(there is wiggle room, exception granting, and grandfathering on this policy but it's true for many things)
Really insightful comment, I completely agree. It also has to do with the resources available in industry that increases the time value. You can get so much more done in industry because you have larger budgets and tighter timelines. The beauty of academia is it allows you time to ponder. So yes, it's less efficient but you typically find serendipity on the long way home compared to taking highway.

Configuration errors strike again.
Thanks for this background info. I also agree with your assessment - so far its just gotten some giggles and maybe even some extra attention from students who are not always easy to motivate when it comes to math. Its also racked up quite a few references in scientific publications (as its the only library offering these types of easy visualizations) - so it does appear most can appreciate it for the silly joke it was meant to be.
Not to denigrate statistics at all, but this rings true to a physicist. In my field we won by increasing resolution and lowering background so the data were essentially obvious at some level, with small error bars from fitting peak areas. I think it's from the humour of "A Random Walk in Science": "The experiment failed, so we had to use statistics."
> If they could somehow target ads based on who's watching, the ads would be massively more effective

They already can, and do. They know what the audience of their shows is and schedule the ads accordingly. Don’t show ads for funeral homes during Saturday morning cartoons. Hell, this is how we got the whole concept of a soap opera: soap ads during shows targeted specifically at housewives.

You advertise cars during car shows, tools during DIY shows, toys during cartoons, etc.

Go to a good used record/CD shop and they'll let you listen to anything that isn't factory-sealed. Great way to spend a few hours.
There is nothing “reductionist” about this petty quibble.

> If you "make it" (or, alternatively, until you "fail" and drop out) you'll spend most of your time working on problems that you are truly passionate about.

I wonder to what extent this is correct. I heard professors saying they can do actual research only in their free time. Rest of the time is managing, administration, teaching, attending various committee and so on...
I've actively taught this to students as WET and DRY.

Write Everything Twice, then DRY it later.
> They would not weather another incident like this.

One would think so, if normal rules applied. But it is hard to see how the US would allow Boeing to not weather this, or any other event.

For defense reasons alone it seems unlikely they would ever allow Boeing to fail.
They were testing to see if pilot reaction times were fast enough to counter MCAS.

> The whistleblower alleges Boeing officials were present for the testing and encouraged the test pilots to “remember, get right on that pickle switch” immediately prior to the exercise.

> “Pickle switch” refers to the stabilizer trim control switches

The implication is that the pilot reaction times were only fast enough to counter the original MCAS design if they were explicitly reminded how to react immediately before the exercise.
It seems that computer hardware, CPU tech, is currently in a phase of anti-commoditization.
> medieval society is generally dysfunctional

How can something that survived for 1000 years while constantly evolving and adapting to changing circumstances be disfunctional?
The problem with your analogy to English is that you're comparing the wrong things.

A function is a "thing", you should rather compare it to an entity in the English language.

Why do we say washing machine instead of a home appliance powered by electricity used to wash laundry through the use of centrifugal force?

When naming things you need to balance descriptiveness with conciseness, a name is not a definition.

As a rule of thumb, avoid specifying things that can be easily guessed, especially if they are right there in your function signature (!):

def find_xy_coordinate_of_dogs_cats_and_baboons_in_picture(picture: Picture) -> List[XYCoordinates]:

I'd refactor it to:

def find_animals_in_pic(picture: Picture) -> List[XYCoordinates]:
Yes, and we established that was an awful idea..
In Data Engineering I only use DRY when it absolutely make sense. Code connecting to a database tends to be boiler plate, so can be abstracted away. However, I never abstract away ETL transformations, even if the code is duplicated. Often ETL logic starts out very repetitive in its early days, only to be customised further and further over the lifetime of the code. Each business stake holders tend to ask for modifications, e.g. can you please ignore sales in Australia for now, as it is handled by a different team, etc...

I've never heard this. One story I've heard is that they were worried about the growth of Windows-only software. Another is that they thought they could make money off of Java.
They were designed with touchscreens in mind - I agree tho that it didn't work out exactly as I wanted. Someone did make a playthrough video of it :

When a Parent’s ‘I Love You’ Means ‘Do as I Say’
When you say historic buildings, I suppose (hope) you don’t mean listed ones, since they’d be breaking the law? Regardless, it’s a crying shame what people have ripped out of even very ordinary Victorian and Edwardian houses. Decorative mouldings, cast iron fireplaces, original doors, geometric tiling.
That’s not long or short, but different vowels entirely. A better spelling system would express the diphthongs explicitly, or at least as diacritics.
Unix being "Everything is a file", has been less and less true starting already in the 1980s. Check the 300+ system calls in Linux and there is lot that is not a file. Many of the system calls would not even need to exist if everything were a file. I some cases that might make things easier, but I don't claim that should be drven to extremes.

When you lack resources, you're much better off taking an extreme approach early on to stop the spread and then following up with the points you mentioned to contain future outbreaks.

Contact tracing only works if you have enough people to do it. We've had four? contact incidents in my family so far, two that have lead to mandatory quarantines. We were only contacted once by local authorities, after an infection spread shut down most of my son's day care center. We were contacted days after everyone already knew what had happened and started to self quarantine, and, honestly, had it not happened at a day care, we likely wouldn't have been contacted at all.

Mandatory masks also aren't guaranteed to be effective. We had several people where I work get infected, even though they were (from what is being said), following appropriate measures.
Also governments have less of an principal agent problem than other entities.

A typical US corporation would be considered utterly banana republic corrupt if it were a government.
Hi natfriedman,
thanks for the transparency.

Removing Google Analytics is a good thing, thanks for that.
I also appreciate that you use DoNotTrack to give users a choice (even if this is not available on Safari any more).

As it is explained the privacy policy. Basically you now use the same cookie "_octo" both for session management and first part tracking:
https://github.com/github/site-policy/pull/336/files#diff-8b...

EU guidelines require that you offer granularity of choice for different “processing purposes”.
See in this "Guidelines on consent under Regulation 2016/679"
https://edpb.europa.eu/sites/edpb/files/files/file1/edpb_gui...

In section "3.1.3 Granularity" paragraph #44.
"If the controller has conflated several purposes for processing and has not attempted to seek separate consent for each purpose, there is a lack of freedom. [...] When data processing is done in pursuit of several purposes, the solution to comply with the conditions for valid consent lies in granularity, i.e. the separation of these purposes and obtaining consent for each purpose"

You grouped cookies together and removed granularity of choice. I think this is against the spirit of the regulation.

Overall I think the the change is positive, but grouping cookies to avoid a banner is still against the regulation.
Companies do this, but I'm not so sure smart is the right adjective. Better positioned, or risk adverse might be better description.

Effectively, this argues for seeding a new market (e.g., IBM and enterprise OSS). Makes sense. But what's to stop _anyone_ else from getting into that same business? And doing it better? Maybe you create an initial advantage, but for how long? Game consoles come to mind.

It's an effective strategy. But you have to be spot on in the execution, and always be looking over your shoulder. Wouldn't a Zero to One / Blue Ocean mindset be smarter? Yes, more difficult. But none the less the far bigger win.
Not in a survival sense but they do help immensely with passing the time.

We were mostly taught about World War I through the war poetry. They wanted our class to all memorize Wilfred Owen's poem "Dulce Et Decorum Est". I couldn't do it, got terrible marks in that class. But the Latin phrase itself sticks in your head.

Wilfred Owen did not live to see the end of that war.

It was at first astonishing to me that the same words are etched into the Arlington cemetery amphitheatre, but of course that's almost why Owen refers to them. At the time the building was constructed it would have been the thing to do - to portray death in war as a noble sacrifice.

Owen's point is that there's nothing noble about choking to death in a fog of gas, of so many dying so far from home, war is not noble or patriotic, it's horrible.
Care in the emotional sense, perhaps not. But it's worth noting that bureaucracies can and do take better care of people than they do themselves. There's a reason we have mandatory seatbelt wearing, restrictions on tobacco and alcohol sales, and child protection services.
Definitely. Microsoft is apparently getting in on the customized silicon game too. Frankly I wish we had seen this at least ten years ago.
Where is the puzzle? We have a lot of obvious inefficiencies that are there just because of politics. We still make progress, because evidence does make one’s political agenda slightly stronger.
the spec covers more than just the client/server API. the server/server API covers the basis of how data is replicated, and conflict resolution is defined on a per room version as per https://matrix.org/docs/spec/rooms/v2. there are then guides like https://matrix.org/docs/guides/implementing-stateres which help expand on that and other areas to make it easier to conceptualise.
