I should have explicitly said the version 3 theory, which has an imlpementation in Darcs 2.16. I've never seen worst case quadratic complexity, like quicksort's, labelled exponential before, which seems misleading. I think there's more to practical scalability than worst-case asymptotic complexity, even if guaranteed linear is likely a good start; have the two been compared for Linux or GCC, for instance? I'd be happy to use the best combination of speed and features/usability.

I just set up Trac for Darcs hosting -- though it has some tension with the Subversion model -- exporting to git for people who want the pain. I'd investigate Sourcehut integration if I had the time.

Admittedly, in the early 90s when I got started professionally there actually wasn't so much bullshit, and yearly security training videos are an example of the kind and extent of how the bullshit has evolved and expanded.

I don't think that you are interpreting these images correctly (but the screenshots do not indicate the viewing direction, so it's not your fault). The objects that you see "through the roof" may be in front of the building, not inside. Radar imaging is based on the return time of a chirp to the antenna. If two objects appear on the same pixel in the image it means that they are at the same distance to the antenna. For example, if the sensor is at a (common) elevation of 45 degrees, a 10m vertical wall will seem to cover the 10m of ground next to it, and any object there will be superimposed with the roof of the building.

EDIT: I have some professional experience with the interpretation of satellite SAR imagery.
Masks can make a significant difference when new cases per infection is near 1. Dropping it from 3 to 2 doesn’t matter has that’s still heavy exponential growth, dropping it from 0.5 to 0.25 again doesn’t matter because it’s dropping fast. However dropping from 1.05 to even 0.95 is huge.
That's sure gonna appease the pro-civil liberties folks !

Other countries can have that expectation, but they can't enforce it - that's the main difference. The US can.
I played with it a bit; it may be limited to one word. So "nonexstin" does come back with sites with that literal word in it. But with 2 words, it does the "what I think you mean" thing. TBH, I have only tried it with one word at a time for my use of "the site must have at least this exact word" type use cases.

I think it is more like avoiding large amount of carbs to avoid developing type 2 diabetes. IF, low carb diets and more all contribute to helping avoid damage. I've even heard of Alzheimer's being called 'type 3 diabetes'. Also looking at the victim, he didn't look to be metabolically healthy, along with his wife. Households tend to eat similar.

Also not eating for 4 hours before you sleep and after you wake up is a very low risk, cheap & safe thing to try out compared to many other things. Same with avoid cheap carby things and eating more meat, eggs, vegetables and more non-processed carby foods.
> It was a narrative technique that I think balanced a sense of urgency while letting the player control which thread they want to pull on next, not meant to pad out the game.

I actually appreciate that in this game. Nothing quite like open world games with incredibly high stakes where the narrative demands immediacy, but you want to mess around with side quests for a while. This gives you a chance to explore the world while remaining "in character".
I've popped into facebook shopping less than a dozen times. After seeing a bunch of good looking car deals, I called / emailed one.. turns out, they don't have the car, don't know anything about the car - but they are going to pass on my info to the 'actual car people' - they are just a listing agent or affiliate or something?

um.. no. and fbk could easily see that a car that lists for 12k on KBB and is for sale for 5k on fbook marketplace is fishy - and some listing agent that has a dozen of these deals is maybe running some kind of something shady..

So experiences like this, and the one an associate had with ebay recently, makes it so we don't trust, and do not use the platform(s) on fbook or ebay.
The entirety of Quanta Magazine begs to differ, lol. Just about every mathematics professor I had at MIT had some form of publicity release on Quanta or on a major news release. Some of the giants were featured in Recountings, a memoir/science history book about the department.

See table 2 in the most recent weekly national COVID-19 surveillance report [1], which breaks down where outbreaks have happened. In London, there were 220 outbreaks last week:

Educational 108
Hospital 42
Care home 38
Workplace 20
Other 10
Prisons 1
Food outlet/restaurant 1

This is outbreaks, not infections - i don't think we have statistics on that, so this is the best indication we have of where the virus is spreading.

Schools, hospitals, care homes, and workplaces account for the huge majority of spread. There's no empirical reason to think either tube trains or supermarkets are the problem.

Branch protection settings are also editable by someone. What's to say the attacker couldn't disable it or bypass it for this one commit? Also I don't think it's uncommon to have a way to get a hotfix deployed without going through the normal checks and balances. For those "the service is down" calls at 2 AM.
It surprises people to hear this, but mask compliance in the US is better than most of all of Europe. People still get the virus though, because it’s almost never spread through community but rather face-to-face unmasked indoor contact, which is something people will never give up.

I don't recall AltaVista's response time as slow (although I was impressed by Google's fast response time, which they proudly reported then). It was the page-load time, which was slow for AltaVista compared to the one of Google, which initially drove me away once that alternative was available.

The keyword(no pun intended) being was --- I remember going through many pages of relevant results and finding the "needle in a haystack" many times with Google, but now it seems like anything even vaguely obscure gets absolute rubbish results (and it claims there are no more results if you try to go deeper, despite the fact that I know the pages are out there.) I'd say it started to decline roughly 10 years ago.
I can't remember what it was, but I feel I've seen such documentaries or podcasts before. As long as it's done in good faith, I'm happy about it. Like if you don't get the impression they're actually trying to convince you of anything, but are more just welcoming you through their own process of learning about something and then ending with a bit of an ambiguous, well I still don't know for sure one way or another, but maybe there is more substance than I thought at first.

Edit: I didn't actually listen to Caliphate though, so I don't know if it appears done in good faith or not.

As a sibling comment notes; Snowden didn't get to choose much once their passport was revoked (made a non-person). You might recall that for a while (number of months?) they were stuck inside of the border-zone limbo of the International section of some airport in Russia.

>Neither crash was within a few seconds

That's not what I said.

If you don't take mitigating actions within a time window of a few seconds, you are locked into an unrecoverable situation - however long you might fight it afterwards.

Specifically - the trim wheel is too stiff to correct if the stabilizer is loaded, so if the MCAS is allowed to wind the stabilizer to its extreme position, the pilot must - after disabling the MCAS (and therefore also the electric trim) - unload the control column to correct the situation, which will send the aircraft straight into the ground. Hence the undulations seen in the flight paths of the crashed aircraft.

The MCAS was designed under the assumption that pilots would respond to unexpected activation within 3 seconds:

Yes, you want the numbers, but I've quite often just digitized plots from papers. I wrote a program for inverse plotting with an HP flatbed sometime in the '80s.
If you have the chance, try the following:

1. Find a paper you like in a field you want to learn.

2. Use the keyword filters to filter down to papers that match your criteria.

3. Add a bunch of the interesting ones to a new graph using the purple "+" buttons.

4. On the "new" graph page, check out the similar papers section. If any of them are interesting, add those to the graph.

5. Repeat until you don't find anything else that is interesting.

The similar papers section uses a link prediction algorithm that basically says, if two papers cite a bunch of the same papers, rank them higher BUT if the paper they cite, is cited a bunch of times, don't give that connection much weight. The net effect of this is that it doesn't really matter if the paper was highly cited, only that it cites the same niche of papers as the ones you just chose. Also, because of the temporal nature of academic literature, the papers it brings up tend to be the newer and harder to discover papers.

The results are pretty great and it's as close to the "serendipity" slider that you'll get right now.

I don't know about this crisis, but in the last crisis, 2008 or whatever, they fired everyone.

Where I worked, 200 people working on two products at a start up became 100 people working on 1 product at a startup all in the course of a single morning, and the people working on the product that got the axe were just as smart as the people working on the product that didn't.

Some of them didn't work for years - all smart capable developers, but no one was hiring. It's sort of surprising that didn't happen this year, but the next crisis is always right around the corner.

It's all fun and games until it happens to you.
I've had none of the issues you mentioned, some 40-ish hours into the game. I don't even get much in terms of visual glitches, other than sometimes a character's rendering starting slow (first a bald head, then the headgear, then the hair). The thing that saddens me is the terrible AI, in all its manifestations: terrible enemies, terrible drivers and terrible wanted mechanics.

Edit: come think of it: I somewhat often get the visual glitch of foliage which should have been obscured being visible.

Compassion can mean different things. Merely being polite, positive and listening and not screwing the other over, sure makes sense to be generous about that to many people.

But in many cases compassion may mean self sacrifice: time, money, effort etc. It's fine to expect something back, at least not being mean or more demanding to you or sour about why you didn't do more. There are toxic people like that that you better not help. You can learn it the hard way. Maybe it can be communicated better, but in many cases people are predisposed to see you as a threat. If you offer to help, they think you do it as a scheme to help yourself and screw them. And they will fume even years afterwards that you somehow screwed them over when you genuinely helped them. That you didn't help enough, that you were selfish etc.

You need to choose who you spend your finite energy on. Not every person in a bad place is some idealized angel who is thirsty for your help and will be grateful.

I'm sure that would have impact, but it isn't what you described above, you described advertising more locations and capacity to make people feel better about visits and gatherings.

I also expect that compliance wouldn't be all that high for at home testing (people skipping tests, deciding they still feel good enough, etc). It doesn't mean we shouldn't try to establish that access for people that would use it well though.

Also, there's a difference between working to increase testing so that more people do get tested before a holiday and making that the center of your message. They need to be careful to not mislead or give the impression that they are misleading, but they could limit the messaging to a statement about working to expand testing.

Exactly. "SAR" is a very broad term encompassing various ways to make an antenna seem larger than it is. That's about all you can say about it, generically speaking.

Impulse radar with range gating substitutes time resolution for spatial resolution, and has been used to 'look' through walls with varying degrees of success. I think you can even buy a studfinder that uses similar principles.

Also, when you catch yourself writing things like this:

One of our radar scientists accurately

presumably): It helps to think of it
just as your brain’s interpretation of
a two dimensional representation of the

That's just fancy technical terms to justify the propaganda. If these kinds of "hard proof" which definitively link hacks to nation state actors exist, why are they never publically revealed?
One needs to be careful with such statistics though. The Netherlands had similar numbers but luckily also reported they could only trace 20% of the outbreaks. And that puts things in a very different perspective.

Of the traced outbreaks, most were in schools. But that is not really a surprise, as outbreaks in schools are really easy to trace. If you have a group of 25 students which basically spend 40 hours a week together and they all get sick, super obvious. But how do you trace clients of a restaurant back to a restaurant? You mostly don't.

My reading of these lists is as a mix between places that are easy to trace, and places where really a lot of infections are happening. It is hard to tell which are which and which are both. Not to mention where the other missing 80% of cases came from.

I am so sorry for your loss. As someone that has gone through something similar about two months ago, and who is still grieving, I can tell you that I share the same thought - "Part of me knows that death wasn't something my Grandma feared" - and I believe we are right. That generation of people is extremely strong - they went through much more than we did. Your Grandma stoically handled the nursing home and every conversation with you, but so did you. In a way, I believe she was preparing you for her death. When my other Grandma passed away she told me that I should not worry or stress, but just grieve and reminisce, and that change of generation is required for the world to function properly.

I know the last few conversations you had with your Grandma were at times extremely hard to handle for you, as mine were with my Grandma. I'm making a lot of assumptions here and I apologize if they are off in any way. Grieve, reminisce and once again, I'm so sorry for your loss. I had to comment as this resonated with me on multiple levels.

For using the Pi as a mini-NAS, what I would like to see is a case with:

• A place for the Pi with appropriate cooling for the Model B CPU

• The two USB-to-SATA cables we will need

• Slots large enough to fit 3.5" drives. For NAS purposes, HDDs still make more sense than SSD, since the max capacity for a single SATA SSD drive is 8tb, but HDDs can store 18tb.

• A box that the entire setup goes in to.
This looks promising, but for the life of me I can't figure out how to get it to display a graph of some very basic data from a handcrafted csv file. Is there any documentation or examples?
