Wow, nice :) I can imagine color being incredibly helpful... and not needing powder certainly makes the process more user friendly and less intrusive.

Also, a very small extra thought, scanning extremely simple objects like cubes and flat planes may make the analysis process slightly easier because the data in the file will be easier to pars--wait. Okay I have more ideas.

Can you convert/import arbitrary 3D data into the proprietary dxd format? If there is any way to do this, there is nothing else that will move the analysis process as far forward as quickly, and offer the best chances of producing the most complete result. This is because a) the data files will have 99% less complexity due to being synthetic and not containing noise associated with real-world data, b) they'll be full of reference points from known 3d models, and c) entirely controllable input data gives the highest chance of figuring out all values/fields in the model files.

If this is possible, chances are most imports would be user requests based on the analysis process ("does changing this value alter this byte?"). Initial ideas I can think of would be the 3D Teapot, a single pixel :D, and simple cubes, triangles and planes.

Lastly, coordinating a backup installation of the scanning software onto a dedicated machine, or moving the main install onto such a machine, that enterprising reverse-engineers could connect to remotely (ideally at any time of day, and obviously after privately negotiating credentials) and install debugging tools (read: IDA/Ghidra/etc) onto, would likely be extremely helpful, and should provide the best "how we reversed this" narrative with regards to licensing. This would simplify the import request situation too.

If importing is not possible, IDA et al may end up being necessary to understand certain complex details or possibly even get started. Solving the "generate interest" problem would naturally be more complex in this scenario though. :/

I think I've really exhausted my knowledge in this area now :), although I do remain interested in knowing how things go.
google has had this for years aha
Because it’s not proven. Smart people will not move their infrastructure supporting billion-dollar business onto something, that might break in unexpected ways while also hiding the reasons it broke. Abstractions are dangerous, most really big-scale folks seek ton understand their entire stack and have as little abstractions as possible down to their own hardware. Why? So you still have a reasonable chance to understand and control your entire stack.
Moved my grandma and some family over to it. Zero complaints after ~2 years of using it, and that's the best part about it. You don't need to be a "geek" to use it. Knowing everyone's data (at least in transit) is secure is pretty great.

I agree as well, but with all respect this is dangerously close to "she is such a nice girl what she even doing at that club?"

Green tea would be a good next step - a bit less caffeine (although I'm sure this could vary between brands) but still satisfies the need for a nice warm drink. I've been having green tea for many months now (after quitting coffee) and I'm not even sure it's worth stopping - I don't get any of the anxiety that I'd get with coffee, for example.
It seems like the Chickens of "make your job your passion" are finally coming home to roost.

> if you realize that there is now tens of millions of suddenly deactivated phone plans in a country where the smartphone is integrated into everyday life

China is the land of the dual-SIM phone, to the point where Apple even made a special iPhone for them that takes dual SIM cards. People have a second SIM for work, or for their mistress, or just for cheaper calling rates to their family. During a lockdown where you're not working (=not making money) and you're stuck at home with your family (and free calling over WiFi), why wouldn't you cancel your second SIM?
What features are Signal missing? I think there's this weird dichotomy where people are complaining about a terrible UX and others not understanding what the issues are (me for one). Only features I've wanted have rolled out in the last few months or are about to roll out (>5 group calling and usernames).
Last night I had a conversation with a guy who destroyed his motherboard and cpu (!?) with OpenRGB. Apparently a few motherboards, if you probe certain addresses, will destroy the PC. He said it was total -- rebooting the pc wouldn't even get bios. Suprised that is even possible. I think OpenRGB mentions some of these edge cases on their page now and takes some effort to block those options. I thought it was interesting that such a failure can happen.

> You never know what a contract will be before you negotiate it

False. What we can do is look at real life examples of how contracts in other unions have turned out. That is a good baseline for what we could expect from other union contracts.

And the actual, real life examples of other unions, shows me that I absolutely would not want to be in a union.

We do not get to just throw away and ignore the decades and decades of examples of union contracts. That is real evidence that we can look at. And the evidence shows me that I do not want to be in a union contract, based on what other union contracts commonly look like.
I remember this fortunately got at least a bit of debate time in US primary season. It looks like (as many things) there are multiple causes, and automation is definitely a huge one that can’t be ignored when talking about losing manufacturing jobs.
The game Kingdom of Loathing had (has?) a short literacy test that you had to take before using the ingame chat function. A part of me wishes that there was a similar test that you had to take before making claims about a law online.

It wouldn't be practical for things like the latest omnibus COVID stimulus bill, but Prop 22 is only ~15 pages. I've seen so many people spreading FUD about Prop 22. It's obvious when someone is just regurgitating something they saw elsewhere and saying things that are contradicted by the actual text of the proposition.

Worked with a laborer who would drink an entire pot of coffee before 10 am. I have no idea what his total consumption was but it was extremely high. Myself, I can't stand the taste of coffee so I've never tried it.

He got a job at a pawnshop years after I left that particular job. He was at work talking to a customer one day, had a massive heart attack and died at age 39.
There is a good carve-out where affiliate links are good. Actual review sites (eg. cnet and techradar, for all they're worth) and YouTube-based reviewers can do very well for determining what products are actually relevant, and can ultimately drive the customer to purchasing a product. Without such assurance from these people/publications, there's a chance Amazon loses out on the sale (either from choosing not to impulse purchase or using another competitor) so paying these reviewers out gives them incentive and drives purchases.

Although, from a anti-consumerism/anti-waste standpoint, encouraging impulse purchases at all is probably a net negative.

Interesting that the US would outsource tasks critical in terms of national security to an external private company even though the American Department of Defense is the largest employer in the world, public or private.

Unions actually legally are very similar to PACs whenever politics are concerned, for a good reason. The United Steelworkers is one example amongst many, I know of a lot of major unions in my city that have similar policy positions.
A few reasons! First, the field is absolutely fascinating - the complexity is incredible, and I'm really enjoying learning about it. It's also clearly "What's Next" - the synbio space in particular has a real "early computers/early internet" feel, in that the capabilities are becoming apparent, but the tooling & infrastructure's not quite there - it feels like it's about to take off in a big way, and that's exciting. On a broader level, I think climate change is an existential risk, and the biotech/synbio toolkit is the best bet I can see for how we both mitigate and repair the damage and shift our energy consumption patterns, so I want to be part of building it.

In effect probably nearly all their traffic goes to landing pages targeting certain terms. Then primarily either bounces or exits immediately via an affiliate link. So it probably doesn’t matter much how the front page is presented as it is low traffic.
So? Cloudformation is "native" to AWS and it's absolutely awful to use compared to Terraform.
> Instead of saying "896m", return "<1km" or "1km-3km" etc. Can you still abuse the data to some extent?

Wouldn't eventually samples of arbitrary precision have their "range donuts" overlap heavily at the user's location?

This could probably be automated to track in real-time someone's position.
Ditto.

To add to this, Pulumi has a few features not yet present in CDK like encrypted state, and dynamic resources. The TLS/Random provider also seems to be missing from CDK but present in Pulumi. I am using all of these features in some Pulumi projects and couldn't imagine using CDK, ever.

tl;dr Use your preferred tooling, but don't assume a team couldn't justify using their tools of preference.
No, I have personally seen each and every problem, and most everyone has seen them prima facie, and it boggles my mind how even so there can be a value judgement against masks.

The constant rebranding and confusion over Matrix/Vector/Riot/Element is another point of pain for me. It’s incredibly difficult to communicate unambiguously about Matrix with people who haven’t been following it for years.

Does Element refer to the ecosystem as a whole, including EMS? The primary client? The core federation? It’s not obvious from a casual visit to element.io. I suppose if I said “Element web app,” that would be fairly clear, but I’m still in the habit of saying “Vector” from the days of Riot.

If this is about mental illness and the system. Yes it's 100% broken, I agree.

On a more interesting note, this seems like a mental illness getting as big as the larger religions. Which makes it not an illness really, more being human. Interesting times ahead.

Their 5$ per month subscription is kind of a way of passing along some money to whichever article you read there that month where you think the author deserves a little something for sharing it with you.

Medium was the first ever digital subscription I bought. It was great for the first 8 months or so and then for some reason my drive to read faded. Now when I open Medium the recommended articles don't attract me enough.

Basically why I wrote this comment is to say maybe try Medium out, see if there are authors you don't mind "tipping".
The open source that can develop around CDK is completely different than something Terraform or Pulumi
I've always thought that was a dumb line. Power can also crumble over time—more quickly than money, I would argue.
I believe so yes. An inertia system or overlapping system are two ways to describe the same thing :).
Except it's not. Telegram has clients for every imaginable platform while AFAIK Signal only works on phones (and that's just one issue).
Not that impressed with Google products, open source, or their cloud in the last five years
Not the OP, but since repeatability is not a problem you can just use any cheap and insecure random number generator and hardcode a constant for the seed.

Really sorry for causing confusion, by putting up such an exact number, 5%.
It is just my common understanding that the countries anchoring the growth goals around that number.

The policies pf cause vary by country (developed, developing), for example for GDP:

Japan's "annual forecast is +3.6% in 2021, and +2.2% in 2022". [0]

The UN's Sustainable Development Goal [1] sets "For the least developed countries, the economic target is to attain at least a 7 percent annual growth in Gross Domestic Product (GDP)."

Long time ago I remember watching a video by a prof, who asked a local council what would be the desirable growth (in range 1%-10%). The council agreed that 5% is reasonable.
Here I found the video [2].

I disagree on this point. Most of my colleagues at work tend to agree that the shift to WFH has been very negative, regardless of type/size of home.

Presence or non-presence of kids in said home definitely is a factor, but I have heard unhappiness expressed by both parents and non-parents.

The biggest factor is that the lack of an office simply reduces the effectiveness of social communication. People still talk, but the talking is simply not as effective nor, importantly as fulfilling as the in-person chatter is in the office environment.

Right. But in a lot of states, there's a gun on the other side of that door.

Toothbrush becomes a lot less of a panacea, then.
the thing is, it doesn't really matter. someone has to figure out how to provision & configure a bunch of resources for the app, & too often that toolchain bloats & becomes inaccessible to more & more of the company's developers, which wrecks the dev-ops feng-shui we all want. but it kind of doesn't matter. these are a kind of minor cost of doing software, truthfully.

the interesting bits in-development these days are not the toolkits to assemble cloud. the interesting bits are the cloud-ification of the application. rather than configuration & state being managed by the app, externalizing more & more of the inner-pieces of the app into external services really reduces the app foot-print, & gives all apps in the environment a common basis for operation. at the moment, it's pretty much only kubernetes doing anything here, & frankly, it's under-hyped, radically under-hyped, that this is the true-er goal of kubernetes. it's not just another platform. desired state management is a whole philosophy for computing, about writing what you want to do in to a central archive, then allowing autonomic systems to break down & accomplish the state you have told the system to set out for.

this hinges upon simple steps like externalizing your apps state into central/cloud systems along-side other app's state. it's practiced by writing separate controllers, a kind of inten-based CQRS 2.0. writing code to build state, as cdk does, is convenient & ops friendly. but still very procedural/computing 1.0. i very much look forward to a far better, far more expansive future, one that is far less isolated "me and my app" & much more bigger picture & all encompassing. kubernetes is bringing that. nothing else is, that i have seen.
