> We should be aiming more towards making projects with a scope that we can actually manage, instead of trying to build huge castles of sand and failing spectacularly. And of course continue to improve our tools to properly manage more complexity.

Its rarely the developer who decides the size, scope, and complexity of the project.

Reliability/extensibility/dev speed/complexity all trade off against each other, but if you're working for someone else, you have to present those tradeoffs to the right stakeholders, not just always choose simpler.

There's also the "knowing the future" problem - the right design for today might run into a wall when the assumptions or business goals change tomorrow.

I love this idea and want to expand on it. I personally think of all cuisines in the worlds as points within a large embedding- "recipe space". Every recipe is a graph of nodes representing items, and edges representing actions ("take sugar and flour and mix in a bowl"). Out of this whole space, different cultures have explored various areas but we've ended up with a number of very similar approaches, such as:

flatbreads. a wide range of cultures/cuisines use a flatbread as a starch structural vehicle (tortilla, dumpling wrappers) combined with a protein/fat interior (cheese, dumplings, whatever). This pattern shows up over and over and suggests a wide range of new fusion approaches ("world wrapps" is an example of prior art).

Once you've cooked across enough cuisines you'll see people have rediscovered a number of techniques (quick fermentation, drying, evaporating) to get rich flavors quickly.

There's a side comment in one my cookbooks (Sauces) which dives into salsa- which means "sauce" but most people think of it as a condiment. It points out that if you think of salsa as fresh sauces it opens up a whole new world of saucing opportunities.

Building the latent space for recipes would mean taking every recipe in the world, encoding it, and generating an embedding; with the result, you could easily create fusion food by casting vectors between two cuisines and sampling points between them.
I don’t think these examples require individual targeting at all, but I agree with your point.

When you are looking for housing insurance and Facebook shows you divorce attorneys, because they know you’re gonna need one pretty soon, that is a spend that would be affected.
At the moment when PC GPU prices are going through the roof into insanity territory, Stadia and its hardware requirements seems like a great idea in comparison to paying $2k for a GPU to play almost any title fairly smoothly at 4k on a shiny TV. This calculus isn't what was predicted for the value statement to consumers though
Yeah but because of regression to the mean everyone has fhe same caliber of engineers
> This shatters my confidence in Stadia as an ongoing consumer platform,

Being affiliated with Google is why I never bothered with Stadia. Google can't stick with platforms long enough to make investing in them worthwhile. I knew Stadia would under-perform whatever obscenely high standards Google set for the product and would roll it into YouTube Gaming or something before silently killing it off.
the latest chromecast is the "Chromecast with Google TV", also called the 3rd-gen chromecast. The Chromecast ultra is the previous generation.

I have used both on M1, but compared them.
I feel like they "cold brewing" process they use(at least that was what they were doing a few years ago when I read up on it) has more in common to distillation than finding high ABV tolerant yeast strains and actually brewing high gravity beer. I have taken apple cider and done a similar process to make Applejack. Its just a matter of freezing out the water/other non alcohol components. I mean, its interesting and all, but I dont really feel like its beer at that point.
People use it as a (imo lazy) form of enforcing access control. If two services aren’t in the same VPC, they can’t talk to each other. It theoretically limits the damage of a rogue node.

Of course, it also creates a ton of overhead and complexity, because you still have to wire all your VPCs together to implement things like monitoring and log aggregation, for example.

As other people have suggested, the better solution (imo) is to have all your traffic be encrypted with mTLS, and enforce your ACLs with certs instead of network accessibility.
VLC is certainly the program I always recommend to everyone, since it reads all formats and its GUI is perfectly serviceable for most people. But I never use VLC myself to watch video files, simply because VLC is, and have always been, for years, consistently slower when seeking in all the commonly used file formats which I encounter. It’s not exactly slow, it’s just… noticeably not as fast. It is especially bothersome when skipping through a video to skim it, which I often do. I currently use mpv (https://mpv.io/), which is much faster at skipping, even though mpv does not have a GUI to speak of.
Don't you think most people who would be interested in buying heroin in the store can already get it?
Others have raised good points, but seriously something is wrong if you’re pushing updates that require restarts every hour.

I get the idea of “continuous deployment”, but this is sounding like restart-per-commit. At that point I question how much qualification and validation is happening. No one say unit tests, they aren’t sufficient, and I’ve worked on multiple projects where the pre-commit test suite runs alone can take more than an hour. Even with those tests there are semi-regular breakages.
From an oil industry perspective, it would be very fun to play with this data over the Permian Basin. I reviewed Planet’s offerings and the resolution was insufficient. And thermal unlocks some more possibilities.

Just watched that and was about to comment the same. I wish there was some kind of quantification to this stuff, or at least a subjective graph demonstrating the different aspects of foods and which ones are complementary: flavor, texture, color, smell, etc. if we had this kind of quantified space to explore, i think we could programmatically find some bizarre combinations that taste amazing
I always loved using VLC, but I watch a lot of tv shows and as far as I know there's never been a good way to remember playlist position (except from some plugin I never got to work). Has this ever been a feature you have considered adding?
I would agree if their service was a way you could play games you own on google's computers, but stadia is more of an another player in console wars, with its upsides and downsides.
And we know that consoles without exclusives lose, I bet product managers at google know that too.
While I've never heard it expressed that as "food grammar", there's definitely a context that tends to get lost with cuisines from another culture. Interestingly enough, that context tends to get "filled in" with their local vernacular.

When done well, it can result in some really interesting fusion cuisine and dining experiences. That's not always the case though, and I'm reminded of an experience I had in Rome ordering a cheese burger in a quasi-Irish pub, and getting a dry puck of ground beef with a cold thick slice of fresh mozzarella on top. Not really what I was hoping for.

These are great innovations but can we please take a moment to realize 99% of companies are still stuck with a blend of excels, access and sql servers? Why is adoption of this new tech so poor? Maybe it has something to do with the amount of confusion all the sales pitches about data lakes, big data, ai and company are generating
@dang I think that while this is the exact title from Kotaku, it misses the context (given by what site it's on) that they're shutting down specifically their _gaming_ studios.

I feel like it would be clearer if this said "Google Stadia shuts down internal game studios, changing business focus".

Quote from the article: Google will close its two game studios, located in Montreal and Los Angeles. Neither had released any games yet.
And why would any 3rd party studio invest resources into a platform the platform owner isn't willing to invest in?

With SG&E shutting down Stadia is dead whether they admit it or not.

I'm proud of Oregon for trying this, but I worry that having one state go it alone will result in problems resulting from unequal strain on Oregon's social safety nets. Many drug users are productive members of society, but many are not. Hopefully this does not cause a homeless migration to Oregon.

> (swapping meds for a year)

Definitely feel you there. It's the worst part about psychiatric drugs and why I've bailed on almost everyone I've ever been on. It's that initial hump and having to struggle through ~two weeks of hell.

My partner has run the gamut so he constantly assured me it was normal and that I'd be fine.

>The one thing I'd like to add is that diet for me made a huge difference. I might as well not be taking the meds if I have a carb-heavy breakfast. Prior to taking the meds I had quit eating breakfast altogether because I felt like such crap around lunchtime if I ate breakfast. Obviously taking stimulants on an empty stomach is not a great idea, and my psychiatrist helped me out to go for a breakfast that doesn't provoke such a strong insulin response.

Diet is my next interest but haven't gotten tools perfected to track the variables that I think will be affected (productivity, happiness, energy and sleep).

I am vaguely on the train of diet affecting productivity but my daily lunch is a McDouble and large caffeine-free soda to sip on so... non-conclusive currently. I also skip breakfast because of the same reasons (too heavy + no good breakfast foods, even 30-in-30 always slows me down)

I have found that many 'healthy' foods make me feel sick or worsen productivity so I am tentatively sticking to my weird diet for now. I have suspicions I may have food allergies and that could be causing it.
Same -- it's one of the first programs I install.

I wish the video conversion was simpler, more intuitive, and provided better feedback. My impression is you have to "stream" to convert a file, and then it just sort of happens without you knowing when it's done. And the settings are...odd. Selecting a framerate/resolution is still old school - provide some common defaults, or % choices to match the video's ratio. Very clunky. --- I just tried it and it keeps repeating itself trying to overwrite a file, had to force close it, though it did convert!

You know? Sometimes I'm thinking Germany should offer them some land for a symbolic price of ONE EURO for 99 years(Honkong-style), and let whomever took that offer build an LNG plant there. There is enough free space in several places on, or very near the coast, also already existing petrochemical infrastructure. Of course all according to german environmental and safety laws!

The fact that this isn't discussed ever just shows which farce it is. They want to shove that dirty stuff down our throats, and have us pay for the infrastructure too! Booo!

Interestingly our greens don't give a shit about that.

Just shows their true spirit.

I'm talking about uniqueness typing. It's similar to linear types, but not the same. If you search the term, you can find a few research papers from Dutch universities, particularly around Clean, a programming languages which uses uniqueness typing instead of monads for IO.
The article (and the related book[1], written by a linguist) introduce the term to refer to cultural rules around what foods to combine, either at the same time or sequentially.

Eating habits is a very general term. The first 3 google results I got[2][3][4] aren't really related to what the article refers to as food grammar. I'd say referring to habit stresses the individual preference, while referring to a grammar stresses the cultural preference.

I'll say that if the Google results for grammar inside the book are exhaustive, the concept isn't fully developed though. I'd have expected a longer, systematic list of food-grammatical rules.

I looked at the generated python code for some of my flows that do decimation. The __init__ section of python code makes connections. Then the main loop calls the GNU Radio libraries and does a wait().

Here's the relevant section of code.

def main(top_block_cls=top_block, options=None):

tb = top_block_cls()
tb.Start(True)
tb.Wait()

if __name__ == '__main__':

main()

Note: Each connection has its own sample rate and type, which is implicit in the graph.

It really depends. Things can be built despite of the technology. I saw this especially at an employer who was heavily invested in golang. Countless times I've thought to myself that they wouldn't be having the issues they were having, sunken costs, reinventing the wheel, etc. if they used a proven technology like the JVM instead of drinking the kool aid and using the latest fad of the day. Tons of money was sunken into it, and it was made to work by force, but not everyone would be able to bear that cost, and it still causes massive inefficiencies due to poor tooling.
I struggle when there isn’t enough work to do, and when I do scrounge up work, it ends up being non-meaningful work.

I've noticed the same thing! And now I'm curious why that is.

I would have thought video seeking would be the same in any player for any given specific codec/file.

What could explain why VLC really is noticeably slower?
Hah. Quite a few:

https://www.3cosystem.com -- a simple startup events calendar. I'm surprised it is still up. It scrapes the Meetup API firehose, filters for tech events, and drops indexes on 65 cities world-wide. It never gets updates, and I'm surprised it still works.
In my opinion, we should be much more cautious with malware, since it can infect us and our information, even causing the loss of it. That is why to prevent them we must be more informed in cybersecurity. I recommend https://demyo.com/
Not really. Even when I first started drinking coffee (around high school) I never got much of a boost from it. I think your caution makes sense for folks with neurotypical brains, but even now (drinking 0-1 cups per day) I drink it for the flavor and/or social aspects, not because it does much for my energy or productivity.
>It is not a question of 'special effort' it is more of the question of why descendants of slaves were not viewed as part of the civilization, why there was such push against integration.

Well, why would you expect anything else?

If on the one hand they view the descendants of the slaves as being inherently inferior, then certainly they are not going to view them as part of their civilization or want them to integrate. This is an easy thing to think, given they had recently ruled over their ancestors.

If on the other hand they believe the other group is fundamentally equal to them, and only in a temporarily inferior position due to circumstances neither group controlled, consider that the dominant group had just used their power over the other group to brutally exploit them. They have only to ask themselves how they'd behave if someone had done that to them to think that it may not be in their interest to let the other group in to the club where its members will have some power over them.

That is where the "special effort" comes in to play. The dominant group must first be convinced that their former slaves are not fundamentally inferior to them. Then on top of that, they have to be convinced that, even though they treated their own group preferentially to the detriment of the other group, the other group will not treat itself preferentially to the dominant group's detriment, or at least not badly enough to outweigh other concerns (or perhaps that they deserve such treatment).

In regard to South America and the Caribbean, while Europeans ruled those areas, they did not really colonize them in the same way that they colonized the US. European involvement in South America and the Caribbean was mostly limited to wealthy plantation owners, whereas the southern US had significant numbers of people not personally involved with slavery.
Dietary studies have been largely been poor since they rely on food frequency questionnaires.

The pertinent sentence from the methods section of this study is "Questionnaires have been completed biennially to update information on potential risk factors and occurrence of new diseases." Poor data in leads to poor data out.

I'm not sure I can quantify what I ate accurately in a twice yearly survey -- can you? Bias also plays a role in how these questions are answered.

The other factor is hazard ratio for red meat and CHD was 1.11. Thr hazard ratio for tabacco and lung disease which is a known association was between 14-17. The effect that they found is small in magnitude.

Epidemiology studies like these need to ranked low on the totem pole of types of evidence.
Why would you think the mainstream media isn't covering it? A cursory search on Google for 'oregon drug legalization' revealed these results:

https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/wireStory/oregon-1st-state-d...

https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2020/11/04/election-dr...

https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/articles/2020-12-10/...

I would consider these outlets more or less mainstream. I think the 'real story' in this case is not a conspiracy of big pharma and the prison-industrial complex, but the slow change of attitudes and policy in the US. Occam's razor.
Because most data isn't "big" data. If it fits in Excel on a laptop, why bother to roll out a distributed data lake system like Spark with all the associated ops work.
