> Expanse has a tendency to get preachy, like BSG did, about politics. I found B5 a lot purer and more universal, but maybe that's just my selective memory/recollection

I agree but it's not fair to rate these series on that basis. BSG was really preachy at some points, but they got some of the other things so right, that it doesn't really matter.

> Still, I think B5, despite its many flaws, will always be the definitive TV space opera in terms of narrative arcs.

I think we would agree to disagree. Bears, Beets, BSG
This is backward -- this sort of serialization is overwhelmingly bottlenecked on bandwidth (not CPU). (Multi-core) compute improvements have been outpacing bandwidth improvements for decades and have not stopped. Serialization is a bottleneck because compute is fast/cheap and bandwidth is precious. This is also reflected in the relative energy to move bytes being increasingly larger than the energy to do some arithmetic on those bytes.

There is another way to approach this: just don't engage with the anxiety-causing thoughts. Thoughts are just thoughts and people get all kinds of weird thoughts all the time. Most times they just come and go, never to return. But when you have an emotional response to a thought (e.g. anxiety), the thought can appear important, and will keep coming back. Engaging with it just gives it more weight.

As an example, trying to come up with reasons why the thought does not apply or is stupid is engaging with it. Trying to reason with the thought is engaging with it. Asking "how likely is this really?" is also engaging with it. Your anxious mind will always tend to fire new arguments at you, new doubts, and you'll just be giving the pointless thought more weight by ruminating on it. Just let the thought come and go, and then sit with the feeling of anxiety until it goes.

The book "Overcoming unwanted intrusive thoughts" by Seif and Winston is a very nice book about this approach to dealing with anxiety.
There wasn't a full release for a year and it broke my pip on Ubuntu 18.04 as I recall - literally it stopped pip from working after I installed it (can't remember why). Avoid.
I love this resource, thank you!

My favorite chapters are those about drawing raster lines and triangles. One of my first programs was writing (in 386 16-bit asm) the routine to draw a triangle, and I love these algorithms dearly.

An important and beautiful thing that is missing in the book is the drawing of anti-aliased lines (easy) and triangles (not trivial!). I find that rendering carefully shaded smooth objects with a pixelized boundary loses a big part of the magic.
The main benefit of a columnar representation in memory is it's more cache friendly for a typical analytical workload. For example, if I have a dataframe:

(A int, B int, C int, D int)

And I write:

A + B

In a columnar representation, all the As are next to each other, and all the Bs are next to each other, so the process of (A and B in memory) => (A and B in CPU registers) => (addition) => (A + B result back to memory) will be a lot more efficient.

In a row-oriented representation like protobuf, all your C and D values are going to get dragged into the CPU registers alongside the A and B values that you actually want.

Column-oriented representation is also more friendly to SIMD CPU instructions. You can still use SIMD with a row-oriented representation, but you have to use gather-scatter operations which makes the whole thing less efficient.

I suppose it's not impossible, but it doesn't seem like the kind of thing that would attract them. The kinds of white supremacists under discussion here are thought to want to exert force, especially with weapons. We don't arm social services.

That said, there is a dangerous undercurrent of white supremacy in social services. It's of the nominally benevolent kind, where social workers bring biases and don't understand the communities they're serving. One example, it may seem that a white family is helping a black child by adopting it away from a much poorer black family with issues, but there are a lot of things a white family doesn't know how to prepare black children for, from their hair to dealing with police.

This is an incredibly difficult and thorny subject. I bring up one example that I happen to have a very distant and passing familiarity with, but don't intend it to give more than a vague hint of the complexity.

I bring it up only because, while it's not likely to be infiltrated by hate groups, white supremacy is a systemic problem in the US, including social work. Dealing with that requires constant feedback and self-inquiry, and ensuring that minority voices are genuinely listened to in the process.
I understand the urge to handwave away copyright or whatever, but it would be nice to at least see some attribution or the links from which you obtained the fonts. The people who made the content you're redistributing would probably appreciate that.
The impact is minor and most of the progress did NOT come from HGP data.

I worked in genomics for 20 years. I have deep knowledge of biology and medicine. And the reality is, for the amount of money invested, the actionable medical returns have been relatively tiny and industry continues to not invest in sequencers for a good reason.
By having the users themselves provide the random input. For example there could be a two player game where each person provides a number and if the sum of those numbers is even player 1 wins and if it's odd player 2 wins. To prevent the second person who submits a number from cheating, both players instead commit to their number by first sending a hash of it. Once both people have submitted their hash, then they both reveal the number they committed to and those get added together. If you fail to reveal your number within a reasonable amount of time, then you lose.

This is still compensation, if they are being paid by the company for what the company is willing to offer, it would need to be paired with a cash reduction, or amount to a raise paid for by the company.

Unions typically already have a seniority over competency problems, this seems like something that would only really exacerbate the issue.

You also have to consider these are warehouse workers not software developers, there is a very high turn over rate, I don't think many of the warehouse workers would be interested in a vesting period before they saw anything from their RSU.

I also and not sure how this would work in a PLA multi-union site, lets not forget that the truck drivers, electricians, and many others already have their unions, and in my experience once a place has a labor union onsite, they want supporting employees to be union also.

And I think we will have to agree to disagree on conflict of interest.
Expanse but actually shot in space
Narrative I/O | Scala Backend Engineer, Angular Frontend Engineer| New York, NY | Full-time | ONSITE, REMOTE (US,Canada) | http://narrative.io/

Narrative is building the first global data marketplace. It has often been said that data is the new currency. Unfortunately, maximizing the value of data is often easier said than done. On one side, transacting via individual point to point integrations carries a lot of overhead in both business development and technical integration efforts. On the other, going through big aggregators introduces opacity in the pricing and provenance of the data. At Narrative, we help our customers get value from their data by building a central auction platform to reduce the friction and tooling to increase the transparency in this process.

We are a small, early stage team looking for great developers who want to jump in and take major systems and user-facing features from design to launch. Here's where we are now:

- We are operating in Amazon Web Services. Our services are mainly deployed on EC2 provisioned with Terraform.

- We also heavily use other technology on AWS such as DynamoDB, S3, and RDS.

- Our backend includes a data ingestion web service with supporting Kinesis consumers, along with a growing array of Spark projects. It’s written mostly in Scala, with a smattering of Python for lambda functions.

- We sit somewhere in the middle of the “Scala as a worse Haskell” and “Scala as a better Java” spectrum. We love functional programming and we do make use of libraries like cats, but at the same time we heavily favor core language features and have no intention of rewriting everything using Free Monads.

- Our frontend is written in Typescript with Angular2 and a supporting API running on Node, and is deployed and monitored using much the same supporting tech as the backend.

- Other services we use include: GitHub, CircleCI, DataDog.

Apply by sending your resume to hiring@narrative.io.

We are hiring for the backend and frontend roles and are building the team with a remote-first mindset.

And that's fine: Github has a perfectly reasonable dispute resolution procedure, where rights holders first get to contact the repo owner to either remove or properly attribute their work. And if that doesn't lead to a satisfactory resolution, they can file a DMCA takedown notice and force the issue.
Thank you both (Zeeg and Armin).

How does fork changes work ? do they have to open source it as well.

And is the license same as MariaDB license too ?
It depends what you're doing, and what you're allowing in your system. You're talking about an omnibus account[1] or a trade that hasn't been settled (but will be settled at some point).

Depending on your system, there are ways to be less transparent. You also lose the transparency that you could benefit from the system yourself, and there's some limitation to it (the amount of the omnibus account is still visible, and money still moves between omnibus accounts).

On the other hand, wherever you are on the spectrum, it is still a more transparent system compared to a blackbox centralized system, or a multitude of blackbox systems trying to settle between one another all the time.

The prices are sort of set at the margins. There was a study a while ago that a relatively minor amount of actual cash can move the btc price (a couple million, despite market cap then in the billions) by carefully driving it up.

I don't know what they're currently printing weekly, but afair they print a billion or so every couple weeks when they're really at it, that's probably enough to substantially move the market, or at least support it.

What happens when there's no more $1B over a few weeks to support BTC when the price is under pressure next time?

I'm not saying that's necessarily the case but the problem with tether and how it's used is potentially much bigger than the market cap indicates.
This is a common, and often justified, though not always fair, criticism. MinIONs have an error rate of around 10% for _any given base_. Moreover, these errors aren't entirely independent of one another, so if you struggle to sequence a given base the first time, you're likely also to struggle if you try again. That said, if your experiment is such that you're only sequencing a guaranteed single target (e.g. one, isolated coronavirus genome), in that one sequencing run (on that one flow cell), you'll "re-sequence" the same any given region many times and, unless you're looking at "problematic" (i.e. low-complexity) regions, you _will_ be able to "average out" the errors to reveal the true target sequence. On the other hand, if you're trying to co-sequence a mixture of closely-related targets, that's when the headache starts...

What do you mean? If you run pip freeze inside a venv it will print every user-installed module and their dependencies. When installing them in a new venv as a requirements file, you end up with the exact same set of modules.

Once it became clear - just a few seconds after AOC first rage-tweeted about RobinHood refusing to let "the people" trade more shares of $GME and $AMC before adding that she'd support a public hearing on what had just happened - that all the key players in the "WallStreetBets"/"Gamestop" trading saga would soon be dragged in front of Congress like a gaggle of tech CEOs, the newly elected Democrats and their hand-picked economic team were faced with a critical question: who exactly was going to preside over these proceedings on the regulatory side, since they are virtually all compromised by key connections to the financial services industry, and not just the big banks.

Over the past decade, a new category of financial beast has arisen. At Zero Hedge, we have been writing about them for years. They're alternatively called "high frequency traders" "high freaks", and "orderflow frontrunners" for those enjoy speaking the truth, or "market makers" for the political correct, but after the events of last week, millions of people were either asking Google, or their one IBD analyst friend, to explain what 'Citadel' is, and how it works.... the same Citadel which threatened to sue Zero Hedge last June for accusing it of frontrunning orders, just weeks before regulators punished Citadel for frontrunning orders (oops).

Which is a problem because as a reminder, Yellen received almost a million dollars in "speaking fees" in the past two years from the firm that is the quasi-monopoly "market maker" in the US, responsible for half of retail orderflow thanks to its domination of Robinhood trades...

“Separate from the GameStop issue, the secretary of the Treasury is one of the world-renowned experts on markets, on the economy. It shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone she was paid to give her perspective and advice before she came into office,” Psaki told reporters, ignoring the obvious conflict of interest.

It then got downright surreal, when Psaki implied that it was sexist to mention Yellen’s conflict of interest because she’s a woman.

We could have ordered 300 million courses each of the top 5 or 10 vaccine candidates for, in essence, peanuts.

$2 billion for Oxford.

$3 billion for J&J.

$20 billion for Novavax.

$24 billion for Pfizer (at worst price).

$48 billion for Moderna (again, worst price).

You end up with a billion vaccines you don't need, you give them away.

This is likely an over-investment if you consider the US in isolation (for instance, all 5 vaccines work well to reduce symptomatic and serious infections).
> If you're comparing game streaming to consoles, then the fair comparison is to every other source of video entertainment that predates YouTube. Like: DVD, VHS, network TV, cable TV, bootlegs, etc.

No, this is simply not correct.

YouTube was a new type of content that simply wasn’t available on any of those channels. If you wanted to see peer-produced video, which turns out to be very compelling, youtube was the only option.

The games you can play on stadia are the same games you can play on other platforms only worse.

Again - streaming may end up catching up, but the comparison to youtube simply is not informative, because they aren’t similar.
Thanks for reporting this issue! I'm currently rewriting the detection mechanism core, so hopefully this problem will be solved in the next version :)

If you found/wrote a adapter to translate your structured PDF into Arrow's format, yes - the idea is that you can wire up anything that can produce Arrow data to anything that can consume Arrow data.
I think you're right that Pairagraph in its present form probably won't be 'the last word' on a given subject. That may be a point in favor of expanding the format and allowing >2 people per dialogue.
I don't think given the info you've presented here, you can fairly make a comparison of union vs non.
If you're watching pro sports, you're watching those who are at the top of their craft win or lose. Occasionally there are some epically bad teams, but those are outliers. The margin of victory in most pro sports is very small, where the losing team might make 1 less great play than the winning team.

So cheering for a team that hasn't won big in a long time doesn't necessarily mean watching bad play. They might just perpetually be short that one player or coach. And, as someone whose team is usually bad, when they do win it's so sweet.
It would be nice if you could create a webpage with a bit of JS with controls for choosing the font parameters, and the right font coming up on the browser window, perhaps with a nice zoom factor.
I totally forgot about quantum. Highly suspicious that Quantum will go anywhere - reminds me of 5th generation computing around the mid-90s which then sank without a trace taking billions of dollars with it.

Scott's rant below on it is epic. Even if quantum does go somewhere, IBM is the last company of earth I would bet on to monetize it ;)

> Would it make sense to enforce this by making the Homebrew python keg-only?

Maybe. I wasn't privy to any discussions around making Python keg-only, but my experience with other formulae that are keg-only is that users will force-link keg-only packages into `/usr/local` anyways. What's more, there are probably enough people out there who do just want a barebones Python 3 installation and don't really care if it gets upgraded underneath them, and we'd like to provide that by default.

The Python ecosystem already contains mature tooling on both Linux and macOS for managing Python installations that are isolated from Homebrew and other system-level package managers, like pyenv. In general, I'd recommend using pyenv in parallel with Homebrew; that will get you the best of both worlds.
Yeah, but if you brand it like a browser and if you're french, you're pretty likely to get EU funds to burn.

From a nordic perspective:

- We could have gotten our vaccines quicker outside of the EU.

- Insane amounts of our tax money is spent on idotic programs, often favoring France and Germany.

Somehow, an EU membership seems a lot lot less appealing now.
Some interesting points, but technology pushes in both directions. Cars are decentralized trains, PCs are decentralized mainframes, etc. Sometimes the desire for autonomy or customization outweighs the efficiency gain from centralization.
There’s Usenet archives going back to at least 1990. I’d search those for image urls, then find ones that still work.

I've noticed this as well - a significant problem with knowledge bases is that as knowledge builds up it becomes exponentially more difficult to organize. The article did hint at a solution, however: they are hiring machine learning experts to develop a system that reads into websites you are browsing and doing the organizational grunt work for you. Personally, I believe this is a good solution: throw knowledge in, let AI organize it, and provide a search function to quickly retrieve it again.
Huh. I wonder what the impetus for that was and what the purported advantages over Jupyter are, since reactivity seems like the main value add of Pluto.jl - and a significant one at that.
Maybe you could suggest[0] that as a topic:

"Were President Trump's words and actions part of the reason why the Capitol was stormed?"

Presumably you think the answer to that is "No", in which case you should put yourself forward as one of the experts. If I'm misrepresenting your position or asking the wrong question then hopefully you can find a more neutral way to phrase it.

Facebook also had it long before Google+, called friend lists. The UI was not great but it was incredibly useful and I’m super frustrated they have been phasing it out over the years. There are some things I want my super liberal theater friends in San Francisco to see, and some things that are only appropriate for my conservative family and friends from back home in Georgia to see. Some things are appropriate for professional contacts and some things are only appropriate for very close friends who understand my sense of humor. Facebook used to handle all these scenarios beautifully but not so much these days, and as a result I only share things that I’m comfortable everyone seeing, which is a very small percentage of what I might otherwise share.
