To each his own, but I’ll add that my experiences are much like grandparent post’s. I “read” it in high school (I.e. usually just read cliffnotes on the internet) and it was just another boring book. I read it again in my mid 20s and it hit me like nothing else, particularly the last chapter. I still remember smiling at the beauty and eloquence of that end, it resonated especially to me for its description of a person’s aspirations and authenticity in the dimension of our human relationships and our professional goals, as that was something I was myself struggling with at that time.

I recommend giving it a read. And if you can’t, I guess watch the movie: https://youtu.be/rARN6agiW7o of course the movie gets a lot of it wrong, with its choice of music and all, but at least it’s got interesting Baz Luhrmann choreography.
Basically, E = MC squared.
This is only true because of abysmal quality of bookkeeping.
Choices and conditions they were made in are not documented in non-ephemeral form - often email, word of mouth and even if at all, in strongly lossy compressed way.

The more lightweight you go, the more information is lost. You can easily use hardware made in 60s. Trying to use some software today made half a year ago can be a journey.
(Algorithms are another matter, they do sometimes survive if they are well described.)

Learning is involved in anything but it is not the process of making software. It is not the process of anything, as it cannot be put in a neat box for any management. A process is at most output of it.
Resonates with me big time. I also bootstrapped a digital health startup called AnywhereMD with a team of physicians. At first it was a triage app that evolved into a messaging platform. The triage had a similar value proposition; get people to the optimal point of care and they will avoid unnecessary and costly ER visits. Self insured employers and accountable care organizations would reap the savings and therefore pay per employee or insured per month and drive people to use AnywhereMD before deciding where to seek care. We were bootstrapped and had a hard time convincing large companies that we were legitimate since we were so small. The biggest parallel I can see is that in healthcare, cost savings and better outcomes are obscured, hard to see, delayed etc.... So it’s not easy to prove value and then capture some of the value for your self.

What was interesting about Madoff was that more than 0.5x was recovered (last thing I read it was much more), even considering the trustee billed over $1 billion in fees.

Normally around 0.01x is recovered, as 99% is just blown on "expenses."
"The tragedy here is the death of the heart, capitalism as an emotion."

The piece seems to equate capitalism with materialism. But the former is an economic system; the latter a universal human flaw.

Winning material wealth doesn't win love or happiness. Living in a country with a few socialist policies doesn't magically make you immune from falling into that trap.

Did you know that in 1983 far leftist group actually bombed the Capitol [1]? The goal of a FAR left has historically always been a revolution, a violent take over of power or as we call that today an insurrection.

Note a good fast moving robot arm needs position feedback in the 100kHz range, which a lot of sensors are nowhere near.
I am aware I just thought you might find them interesting.
Yes! I read it and other classics when I was ~20. Maybe it was my age/where I was in my life at the moment, or that I didnt "read into it correctly", but it was one of the most boring things I've ever read. Nothing ever happened. I'm on of those the article mentions that would call it "a dud".

At the same period of time I also read Catcher in the Rye and loved it. Not sure if I would feel the same about it today. And maybe Gatsby would have grown on me now. But I'm not gonna try again, so much other good stuff to read.
"the fed could reduce the money supply"

What is your proposed mechanism for this?

On the other hand, inflation is great for shafting the labor class, so at least we're going to put most of the pain on the people who are least capable of retaliating against the government; and they'll blame the rich anyways.
Maybe we should also pay programmers based on outcome then, and you get less if your % of bugs is higher than the team average, sounds like a great idea, eh? Maybe a day without pay if you bring down the live service? I'm pretty sure this wouldn't work. The first place to put it in place, be it a hospital or a tech company, would just have most people quit. Sometimes things are hard and people need to know the business has got their backs as long as they try their best. Reducing pay on bad outcomes is institutional blame culture on overdrive.
Great anecdote posted here a few years ago: https://www.quora.com/Why-are-software-development-task-esti...
My guess is that the tormach detects skipped steps in the controller ("sensorless stall detection")

So it probably does skip steps, but corrects for it
Maybe, but centralized services seem to have that problem too in practice.
VLC 3.0.12 M1 Support
The article sidesteps the question of how this administrator's account was compromised. "Good password not enough" suggests the attacker did not need the password to break in, which would be interesting. Maybe that's all the forum is willing to divulge, but I wish the article had explicitly said so.

EDIT: I didn't read the frame. OpenWRT Forum may not know how the attacker compromised the account.
This is really nice!

My suggestion would be to curate a bunch of custom components built upon the libraries that you offer, so rather than having to build up a complex form there are starting points, this could be user generated.

That would cut down on both having to build something up from scratch but also learning from existing implementations.

Very very cool though, I could see this being a massive timesaver!

Would be pretty clever if Zoom disguised the audio watermarking as the kind of distortion you get when someone's audio / video is laggy and turns into a choppy mess for a fraction of a second. You wouldn't suspect it unless you knew!
From what I have seen, what some of the research gets wrong is focusing too much on actuators and less on the frame rigidity/dynamics. Even if it's possible to arrive at somewhat okay-ish position performance using vision based feedback, the control system can't really cope with dynamic issues (imagine an end effector on a thin, long piece of wood: even if you can move it around to a certain position based on vision feedback, once you change the load on it, the piece of wood bends, once you decrease the load it snaps back etc).
I work with commercial CNC machines. I think people are missing out on the second hand commercial market. One of our most reliable CNCs is an old pod and rail that cost $10k. It is much more than any hobby machine.

Please if you're getting into this look around at second hand machines. You'll be able to do really well if you want to setup an old 90s machine with new electronics. It's not as complex as building one from scratch and you get much better mechanical components.
I just started building a MPCNC, so I still have time to change one thing or the other, so I'll give your post a good read. Thanks for taking the time to write everything up.

It lets you raise revenue by slowly devaluing the wages of the lower class. It's so difficult to notice that they blame the rich instead of the government. It's a perfect strategy.

This is actually a thing for some people, and if that's you, then you absolutely need to see a doctor and describe what's happening. It may be that you over-absorb iron. Someone close to me had this condition and described it as "thick blood". Undiagnosed hemochromatosis

He regularly gave blood, which helped shed the iron from his body, but at some point he stopped, and it contributed to a severe cognitive decline. He drank too much, too, which didn't help.

If you or someone you know has "thick blood", go to a doctor. Suggest they check for hemochromatosis

That is absolutely what it is. For example, people are comparing favorably to how sales reps are now forced to record everything they do in something like Salesforce to try to prove they are productive, which by all accounts is pretty awful for the actual people doing the selling and doesn't actually improve sales--it just makes management feel like they're doing something.

Yes.

Counterparty credit risk calculations are done as Monte Carlo simulations far into the future and on multiple scenarios on top of the baseline. It easily grows to 10^8 times of the number of valuations in the baseline scenario at present time (which itself can be millions of positions).
There was another theory (spread by the media and by the half-denying-half-encouraging bbc) that the vans can detect iPlayer usage across WiFi by looking at the level of network traffic, and then to a range of IP addresses in an area intentionally changing the amount of data the app received up/down to see if network activity changed correspondingly.

https://www.express.co.uk/life-style/science-technology/6976...

It’s really all a big scare tactic though. The best way to detect iPlayer being used wrongly will be to see who registers for an account with an identifiable email address.

Bitcoin consumes as much energy as a mid-sized country, including it's banking infrastructure. I doubt that if all banks where in one country, they'd consume more energy, including the energy consumed by all banking employees and other infrastructure necessary.
>"The pixel clock frequency can be synthesized from the 27MHz oscillator built into the labkits by using one of the twelve Digital Clock Managers (DCMs) built into the labkit FPGA. DCMs have numerous uses, one of which is generating a clock signal whose frequency is some multiple of the frequency of a reference clock."

>"The Digital Clock Manager (DCM) primitive in Xilinx FPGA parts is used to implement delay locked loop, digital frequency synthesizer, digital phase shifter, or a digital spread spectrum. The digital clock manager module is a wrapper around the DCM primitive which allows it to be used in the EDK tool suite."

>"Device Family: Virtex-4, Virtex-II Pro, Virtex-II, Spartan-3"

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

>A digital clock manager (DCM) is an electronic component available on some field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) (notably ones produced by Xilinx). A digital clock manager is useful for manipulating clock signals inside the FPGA, and to avoid clock skew which would introduce errors in the circuit.

Uses

Digital clock managers have the following applications:[1]

o Multiplying or dividing an incoming clock (which can come from outside the FPGA or from a Digital Frequency Synthesizer [DFS][citation needed]).

o Making sure the clock has a steady duty cycle.

o Adding a phase shift with the additional use of a delay-locked loop.
o Eliminating clock skew within an FPGA design.

"It would have been an age in which self-cultivation construes as a delusion of the American dream. You could build a fortune, then afford to build an identity"

I had always thought the American Dream was rising from a lower class to have a humble house, a few children, a stable Mon-Fri job, and some basic comforts.

Where did the idea that the American Dream is about riches come from?

Note that I'm not saying the American Dream is unique. I just never heard that it somehow was tied to getting rich.
I tend to think that the number of companies explicitly vending open-source projects via binary distribution on the basis of their security merits is fairly restricted - it's mostly an issue for products like Signal.

You can still perform quite a bit of analysis by reverse engineering the binaries (albeit with significantly higher effort than inspecting the original source code).

"It's fully legal to read and publish the private letters and intimate diaries of historical figures"

Only if you don't violate the copyright of the dead person - which, depending on the country, can last 50 to 90+ years after the person's death. Thus to publish you'd have to get the right to do so from said person's estate.

There are many instances where private correspondence, etc. has been banned from publication/the public domain for this reason.

I agree, in the Netherlands we were forced to read about 20 Dutch and 10 English books in "high school" (around age 16-17). I was an avid reader. I lost it for quite some years after that.

Trump Ultimate Plan 2021
If you paid doctors by individual outcome then the incentives would be even more messed up, since no-one would want the tough or ambiguous cases.

This is opposite of the desired outcome, which is that the best doctors see the hardest cases.

Always pay professionals for their time. Patients are not widgets.

Yes, but having the option to admit this in court, including of course the choice to NOT admit it, to stop all proceedings, in the justice system and/or court seems equally the barest minimum of requirements. Including the option to deny anything happened everywhere. To avoid and/or dealing with counceling (or God forbid, CPS. There's plenty of children and adults who are terrified of dealing with any official at all because of their experiences with CPS. They, frankly, have good reason).

I still don't understand why lots of new databases and data applications (Neo4J, Cassandra, Hadoop ...) are written in Java when it is well known that Java is not well suited to these types to tasks: GC freezes, bad memory model for large data, not fully compiled as so much slower when compared to C++, C or Rust. Why choose Java for these applications?
