Good start. Still doesn't address actual Bitcoin transaction times or fees, though.
for jails i use iocage, you can't compare it to docker but a bit to kvm (but it's not hardware-virtualization but os-virtualisation), BastilleBSD is what docker is for Linux.
Care to elaborate? Nowadays i usually use history with fzf to find old cd commands.
At $9000 per MWh ($9 per KWh), you could connect your exercise bike to the grid and make nearly minimum wage if you're fit.
Yes, if you look at the very basic Golf. Which is a different car. There is also the ID.3 as an electric counterpart, but that might not get quite 600km of range. But prices are coming down.

So yes, if you really need 600km range and beyond right now and a Model 3 is too expensive for you, electric isn't a solution, get an ICE car. Though you have to watch the running costs so the TCO doesn't exceed the one of an electric car. Certainly they will, if you buy synthetic fuels.

I am the latest in a chain of noobs in this thread, but I think what you're talking about is handled by clock cycles. Components use the clock to gate the flow of information down lanes.

I'm still gradually working on my undergrad. Most times when I'm out of work as a developer I return and complete some of my coursework. As time goes on, I'm finding a much stronger interest in the less-testable and more human oriented classes such as those you mention, but also History, language, and cultural geography. Meanwhile the CS courses are the ones that I'm struggling to be drawn towards; particularly as some of the former desirable compabies to work at face more and more human ethical dilemmas where the computer bit isn't the complicated bit. I suppose since it was my intense motivation to design and build websites that got me in various doors without a degree, as those things become more commodified, it would be expected to look elsewhere for that inspiration, but did you ever find that true for yourself?
In the US, they use a proprietary mechanical connector - but the electrical interface is the same. So with a mechanical adapter you get graceful degradation to the CCS standard, just without fancy Tesla charger/vehicle communication.

The quality of execution is not a factor - a sloppy copy is a derivative work just as a very good copy. (If the result is substantially transformative - which is very, very different from an expertly executed copy, other factors might apply).

If the tattoo was executed poorly, the artist might never think to sue, but they would be exactly as justified to sue as in this case.

There's an EU mandatory standard (which Tesla follows), and in the US an optional one that everyone but Tesla follows (that is, everyone but the gorilla with 80% market share :-P).

Note that there are other standards in the rest of the world, e.g. China has a mechanically-incompatible connector (same as the EU standard, but with the male end on the cable and female end on the car and charger).
I totally agree! I completely understand why one would start pressing spam instead of unsubscribe, for this reason.

Now you're talking about technological change and about how we're all living potentially richer and more interesting lives because of it. But that's a separate point to the one being discussed: Jobs was referring to personal life choices and how they work out if you connect the dots looking back.

Point being that there's plenty of people for whom personal life choices didn't see their dots connect looking back, and that we only get quotations from the people who do like Jobs, i.e. his point perhaps isn't universal, but rather only particular to (the lucky) few.

Another poster just commented: meheleventyone 3 hours ago - Yeah we had a very emotional essay this week from Chris Crawford whose life work failed to materialise.

He looked back and found that his dots never connected for the past decades and that 'he blew it'. The fact he now has an iPhone and can make cheap calls to a person in India doesn't change that story.
The mistake seems to be "there's a standard [and it Works more than 80/20]." There are multiple to choose from, and in versions, and each has revisions, and now Foo v2.1 doesn't want to work with Foo 2.0, except on even Mondays, and don't get me started on Foo 3.x with Bar 1.5.x!

You're handwaving away all the inherent complexity, but shoveling it off into a box labeled "standardization" doesn't make it go away.

In other words, the interoperability is very much "try to swap these components, if they work, yay, if not, try swapping them for something else until you get a combination that works." And that's for non-critical components.
I once used a mobile alarm clock app that would try to be smart about waking you up. You put it on your bed and it would measure your sleep cycles by your movement and try to maximise your sleep, but wake you up after a whole cycle had completed. The theory being that being woken from deep sleep is worse than being woken from the REM stage of sleep, and that it is more natural to wake up after a full cycle.

I can't remember if it actually helped that much, and I've since gone back to normal alarms.

Actually a single letter is "a picture". So Text is a collection of small pictures. There is no such thing as "Text"- we give a meaning. Otherwise it is bunch of weird arrows and curves - pictures.
> Graphical programming languages are nowhere.

They are super popular in game development. The most popular one is Unreal Engine's "Blueprint". Unity does not include visual scripting, but there are popular plugins on Asset Store, the biggest one is PlayMaker. Unity Technologies themselves plan to release their own, in-engine visual programming tool this year.

Apart from that, visual programming is commonly used for shader programming, video compositing and AI/animations scripting [1].

I am a programmer and like many of my peers I cannot stand those systems, but designers and artists love them. They are widely used everywhere from small indie games up to AAA releases, not only for simple logic but for modelling complex behaviours and flow controls too.

I can confirm this.

I was frustrated at some points when I was on my early day with my news letter and AWS SES. I don't know why people spend time to register for my news letter, after reading through the archive. Yet, they chooese to mark email as spam even though we explicitly have an unsubscribe link and require double opt-in.

For AWS SES, you have to maintain spam rate at <0.1%. And AWS has their own way to pick sample set of emails.

So yeah, it's really important to manually unsubscribe people that won't read email. Don't even attempt to make a final email to ask them if they want to be remove because you risks another "mark as spam" click.

Which is why it is better to make a quick but strong draft in your home than keep window constantly slightly open. With a quick exchange of air, your walls remain warm and continue to radiate heat. Having a window constantly slightly open means air exchange is slow but constant and the area of the wall around the window cools down significantly.

Only if you write your code that way, and then it's a self-fulfilling prophecy.

There's a good amount of mutable state that's just incidental for particular algorithms, and not intrinsic to the problem you're solving.

Can't each country have a platform where you kind of validate it in kind of this way.

- Select the country, get redirected to the sovereign identity auth platform

- There you can log in/provide the details in the sovereign run platform.

- The sovereign run platform validates and sends out a unique anyonymized hash for the user which the platform can store to keep count.

This can be used for other validation purposes as well which are not limited to just petitions and the data returned by the platform can be scoped to the requester sort of like Oauth.

To make it even better for privacy, you can introduce the concept of an application identifier which will be unique for petition/form etc. The hash will be unique with the application identifier scope, so outside platforms can't correlate individual identity through multiple petitions.

A lot of value could be lost. There are one or two newsletters I get by email which I read frequently and may contain extremely valuable information (i.e. could result in a significant sale). It could easily be a pretty significant loss to the company (and me) if they stopped sending them.

There is no such thing as pictures. It’s just photons that bounce off or are emitted by certain surfaces that fall on our eyes and are then transmitted as electric impulses to our brains which trigger synapses....it’s all just stuff firing in our brains.

It’s pretty obvious what the author of the article means by picture and texts. I don’t think there’s anyone who is not trying to be deliberately obtuse who would have a hard time figuring out what they mean by pictures and text here.

They don't have any trouble because they don't run remote scripts. This problem is specific to the implementation (and the TOS) of the Google translate API.
They do that because they have no guarantee that a site will respect an “unsubscribe” request, and it wouldn’t drag them through a shady multi-step “but why” dialog, and it wouldn’t send them another email with “Dear sucker, we see your request and sadly have to react, but you know how these servers work, right? Wait for a week or twelve before all our systems are aware that you wanted to unsubscribe from one of our many non-enumerable spam channels. And if they don’t, feel free to repeat, best regards”. Fair players like you are so rare these days, and to them you are yet another nobody who gets rich on ads and spam.
Well-formed SDFs are extremely efficient to raycast.

The basic idea is that if you evaluate the SDF at a given point, you get the distance to the nearest surface. Thus, you know it is safe to step that far in any direction without crossing a surface. So you can step along a ray with a step size determined by the SDF at each point to quickly converge on a surface.

It may have less of an effect than it is claimed, in some jobs the demand is there regardless of wages, so any increase in cost gets transferred to the consumer. If your janitor gets a 20% increase, it is doubtful he will get sacked because he is needed. But if the same happens to a person packing boxes or working and McDonalds, he might lose a job to overseas or a new automated machine.

If you take it to extreme, it's obvious it's not a myth. Imagine a 100k USD yearly minimum wage. Obviously all unskilled worked wouldn't be able to earn this much for the employed, but in places where you have to have someone do the job, they'd enjoy their new high minimum wage.
Yes, what is your point? There are cheaper ICE cars than electric cars, especially if you get the longer ranges. You still need to watch the TCO and this thread is about expensive synthetic fuels for Porsche cars, which are at the other end of the price range.

I don't know the details of the proposed law, but there is a difference between collecting biometric data for the purposes of identification and for the purposes of mass-surveillance. It's about how and when the data is used.

Biometric passports store a literal JPEG of your face, fingerprint, or iris on the chip, and it's up to the software on the entry gate/computer/phone to make the comparison between what's on your passport and your challenge. Even if both the original info on the passport and challenge data are sent to a central server for processing (or even if they are compared against the info in a centralized database), it's still being used to identify an individual. Besides that, the moment and circumstances of this identification are clear and regulated: a border crossing, a police stop, etc.

This is quite different then using a network of CCTV cameras to look for particular individuals... or keeping track of how all individuals move through an area with CCTV footage, so that you can analyze behavior (or look for individuals after at a later date).

> Pretty soon you do have the symptoms, you see them every time you encounter this thing.

Your comment seems to imply that psycho-somatic symptoms are not real symptoms and people who suffer from them are behaving irrationally. If so, you are incorrect.

Psycho-somatic symptoms are real measurable physical problems in the body that are triggered by the brain. They are not imagined problems. For example, my perfume sensitivity triggered real nasal congestion. You could hook up a nasal flow meter and record data showing that my nostrils were blocked. For people with chronic lower back pain, you could connect a sensor to the pain nerves and measure the pain signals going from the lower back muscles into the spinal column.

Suffering from a psycho-somatic disorder does not imply that the person is rational or irrational. Psycho-somatic problems arise from everyday life situations. For example, my own perfume sensitivity developed over a year of high pressure at the office. My desk was near the women's restroom. Several times an hour, people wearing perfume would walk by my desk to use the restroom, and then walk by again a few minutes later. I became distracted when I smelled their perfume. I would respond to the distraction by desperately forcing myself to concentrate. When concentrating was difficult, I felt more stress. Gradually, my brain developed an automatic response: smell perfume -> feel anxiety and stress. Unfortunately, this was a self-reinforcing habit. After I recognized the root cause, I was able to un-learn the emotional habit and cure the psycho-somatic disorder.

Your tone implies that people develop psycho-somatic disorders after "falling for" some false idea. That is incorrect. Some would consider it extremely condescending and would take offense. When a person suffers from excruciating lower back pain, they are not "falling for" the idea that they have a back injury. They are just suffering. They try to understand why they are suffering. "I have a bad back" is a reasonable explanation. The knowledge of the most common cause of lower back pain is not yet widespread: that lower back pain is usually caused by subconscious tensing of muscles. Please re-examine your bias about psycho-somatic disorders. They are real symptoms suffered by rational people.

I assure you that your mother is suffering real symptoms. They are very likely not psycho-somatic. I commend her relentless search for root cause and cure. You could help her: Take her to consult with experts, help her objectively record her symptoms, help her systematically test different hypotheses and interventions, find a fun fitness class and attend it with her, research healthy recipes and cook them together, and make sure she takes enough vitamin D3. My own mother developed cancer and there was little I could do to help her.

So I woke up this morning hearing this on the radio and it honestly really disgusted me.

I have been an internet user since 1992 and have been actively developing websites, apps and software for it since about 1998.

My affection for the internet now though is hanging by a very thin thread. Where as I was for privacy, I am now re-evaluating the level of anonymity that should be allowed online.

These people wouldn't shout insults in a crowd.

The way people use the internet has changed and I believe that companies like Facebook, Twitter, IG should have to apply for a license to operate. They aren't doing enough to protect good people from malicious narrow-minded people who bully others for fun. Another idea would be to not let users instantly send a message to others - give it a 24 hour delay and allow the sender to revoke what they have said after they have had a think about it.

Rant over. I might need a 24 hour delay!
I remember from my flying days that:

“The addition of water vapor to air (making the air humid) reduces the density of the air, which may at first appear counter-intuitive. This occurs because the molar mass of water (18 g/mol) is less than the molar mass of dry air.”

(Not sure I like the language above but that’s how Wikipedia says it)

Is this potential effect accounted for in your numbers? I.e. What happens to the molar mass of Martian atmosphere when Martian dust is suspended in it?

At any rate, dust is bad for the moving parts of flying machines.
Now that's what I call edge computing.

But seriously though, it seems to answer an ancient techie question of mine: Since we're strobing memories millions/billions times per second, couldn't they be doing more than storage with all those clocks?
Well, maybe. If electric cars are just better cars, then I think they'll prevail anyways. (For now, gas cars are generally lighter and have better range, whereas electric cars are cheaper to operate and need less maintenance.)

A big open question on these synthetic fuels is whether it can be done in a way that's price competitive with fossil fuels. It makes sense for a company like Porche to explore this first, since the average Porche customer probably isn't particularly concerned about the cost of fuel.

That said, if this works out and if Liquid piston's inside-out rotary engine[1] works out, it could make the decade or so interesting times for combustion-engine cars.
