I can barely understand anything in that page though I wish you success and offer this Edsger W. Dijkstra quote, in good faith, for reflection.

"Projects promoting programming in 'natural language' are intrinsically doomed to fail."
What a sham. People are so desperate to turn the unlimited, powerful realm of computing into such a limited, restricted, constrained, zero-sum system.

I'm already exhausted by NFT. There's going to be decades & decades of people insisting this petty silly act is meaningful, has value. They'll be right, but only because they recruit others to their small world thinking, to their narrowed horizons, focused on property & proprietary. Decades of endlessly hearing excitement about capturing the great & vast digital, about using society to make real, enforce their fabricated & fictitious sense of scarcity & limits & constraints.

Decades & decades of listening to zero-sum mentality, watching just enough people get roped in, suckered into this concocted belief system. These jokers are going to make L. Ron Hubbard look both moral & amateur. This new religion gives me the creeps, this anti-use of freedom. This is such the opposite of hope, & capability, & democratic power that the internet represented, a closing of access, a system of restricting, not the opening of frontiers, the ever-expanding availability that shaped all my decades under Moore's law. This saga is such a sad one. And it's only just beginning, opening salvos like this: telling us that only the wealthy will own the digital.

No worries, I redacted my comment. Forgot that this ain’t Reddit for a moment.

I think the lexer and parser won’t work if you write `if` instead of `যদি`. Just as the opposite won’t work in Java.
They call this issue out in the docs specifically when the fat column is a sort/distkey. rsbb in the Intermix slack has studied this in the most detail I know of outside AWS but they haven’t published their book yet.
As in VSCode never got to parity, or vice versa?
Stripes aren't really "scanned". They are more of a logical concept that tracks where the physical data for each column is, and only fetches what it needs.

If I understand what you are asking, let me restate: "can you apply a predicate first on column A before reading column B, so that you can avoid reading column B if the predicate on A doesn't match?".

The answer is: "sometimes". Predicates match some rows and not others, so matching rows may be mixed in with non-matching rows, so it's not always possible to avoid the IO to read column B. However, if the matching and non-matching rows happen to be separated (e.g. if your table is naturally in time order and you have a time-based predicate), then it's able to do this optimization. Please see the section on "Chunk Group Filtering".
There's a whole lot of bootlicking boomers on this post...

Abuse in industry is SHOCKINGLY common, and tolerated, as long as those bad actors can make contributions to a project. Thankfully, many companies are starting to become less and less tolerant of these types of people, and I make it clear when I interview that I have no time or tolerance for workplace bullies or brilliant jerks. I've left jobs because of bullying, and will continue to, because I refuse to be disrespected.
I think the claim here is that Citus added it to PostgreSQL.

Depending on how one defines that claim, Greenplum may have been first.

There's a famous story about Picasso.

People would often approach him asking him to authenticate their artworks. One day this happened while an art dealer friend was present. "Fake!", says Picasso.

The art dealer was skeptical, so he gave one of his own Picassos to a third party and asked him to check.

"Fake!", says Picasso.

"But Pablo, I saw you draw that. You gave it to me with your own hands!"

"Bah. Anyone can do a fake Picasso. I often do them myself."

As a rejoinder, maybe Richard Mattuck’s book would be helpful for those interested in Feynman diagrams generally:

https://www.amazon.com/Guide-Feynman-Diagrams-Many-Body-Prob...

Accessible to anyone who can sum a geometric series and take a Fourier transform!

(Feynman diagrams for dummies basically, for any who run across this comment - yes I’m being cheeky about “dummies” but I believe it calls itself something similar in the front matter. A self interaction term, then.)
I was forced to use an HP12C as part of my university degree. Once you get used to RPN it’s quite uncomfortable to switch back. It’s a much more intuitive way to do math once you get over the small hurdle. 15 years later and I’m still using the same calculator!
Just a small correction, most of the AM4 motherboards released in 2016 and 2017 do _not_ run Zen 3. Only few vendors (I think ASRock is the only one?) added support for Zen 3 on B350 / X370 / A320. The rest only added support on B450 (2018) / X470 (2018) / B550 / X570 / A520. If you were one of the original Zen buyers in 2017, you are unfortunately limited to Zen 2 CPUs, unless if you had an ASRock motherboard.
Art collecting has been a way to bypass taxes and launder money. I read an article where it was used for bribes. A person buys an art piece for 1000 bux and then sells it for 2000. Once the transaction is done no one outside the transaction knows it's a bribe. NFTs will make the process easier.
> It seems to me like it treats people as lacking the degree of intelligence and foresight needed to figure out that it's a good idea to pass building techniques along. As if back in the day people were only capable of understanding things if they were framed in a religious or supernatural way.

I think this speaks to your own prejudice against religion based on how Christianity is treated in the US. Religion isn't predominantly about supernaturality, it's about what works. Supernatural explanations of why it works almost don't matter, if it works.

Let me give an example. Christian morality seems to be to largely be about stabilising society. "Turn the other cheek" prevents cycles of revenge, for example. Does it matter if that's the case because you understand cycles of revenge and how they lead to more harm than the original offence, or because your priest told you that's the right thing to do? It would be ideal if everyone just understood these precepts from logic, but I don't see any structures for disseminating logical behaviour to the broad masses today either.

People thousands of years ago are the same people as us. I see plenty of truth in religion and I see plenty of falsehood in modern, supposedly "rational" modalities. I don't think the balance of how clear-thinking we are has changed at all.
Lazy users want the “new random object” button in a fixed location (top of the page, just below the header, is a popular choice, as it doesn’t require CSS magic to make it reliable)

The current site keeps scroll state across clicks on that button, and so almost gets that, until you hit a particularly tall image.

I also think scaling images to fit the window size might be better for the lazy clicker (but it’s hard to do, given the large variance in title lengths)
I can't seem to find a picture online, but a blind person once showed me a "pocket brailer" that was a sort of sliding stencil that could emboss crude braille on thick stock with a special stylus. It was his equivalent of a notepad.

Maybe stencils were made for the Port-A-Punch to suit different jobs.
The delineation between those and VSCode seems unclear.
I used to work for a company that sold location tracking data. It was amazing how cheap this data is and how many sources you can collect it from. We would buy data from 3rd party sources and often have our own data sold back to us, sometimes straight up, and sometimes after randomization added to avoid exact matches. We had a whole system built to compare incoming data against our own data to make sure that we weren't having too much of our own data being sold to us.

This is absolutely the best explanation of virtual particles I have ever seen. I've worked through pages of Quantum Field Theory (I'm literally looking at my copy of Peskin and Schroeder sitting atop Krane right now), expanded and calculated hundreds of Feynman diagrams, written pages about these concepts, and yet I would say this article gives the best intuitive explanation of what is going on I've ever seen. I absolutely love that he mixes in the aside about the permittivity of free space arising from loops in the vacuum.

I am adding this framework to my set of tools to explain (and intuit about) QFT. And going back for a reread now. Well done!

I think you have a couple of common misconceptions. I'm not saying they necessarily change your conclusions, but they should be pointed out nonetheless.

>- The reward of a job is, for the most part, the monthly paycheck. A PhD is a long-term investment that must be completed in order to have value. An employee that quits a job after one year is not an issue, and it is considered "experience", but quitting a PhD half way through can be perceived as a failure.

Several people already mentioned "you can just quit your job". I think this is with a limited view of software developers. Yes, if you are a software developer the job market is such that you can easily quit. The situation might be completely different in some other fields, and loosing the job can be a much more existential threat.

>- Professors in academia have almost unlimited decision power in how they manage their budget and their reports. It can almost feels like an absolute monarchy.

I don't know the situation in the US, but I can tell you that in the countries I know about this is simply not the case. The amount of bureaucracy that you have to jump through to spend money as a professor (often money that you brought into the university through grants) is mindboggling. I know junior staff in industry who have more power to make buying decisions than professors. I know at one university every purchase over $50000 had to be signed off by the dean of the faculty (this was maybe 500-1000 staff and 30 000 students) over $150000 it had to go to the president. For anything bought by a professor, even low dollar amounts, it had to be signed off by the head of department. Hiring (PhD students, or even interns) needs to be approved by HR ...

>All of these points, combined with a bad supervisor, are fantastic fuel for anxiety and unhappiness. There is no worse thing that, after so much work, feeling that you have no control over your situation and you have no margin to improve it, without significant additional sacrifices.

While bad supervisors are definitely a thing, generally the PhD is a situation which can be fantastic fuel for anxiety and unhappiness. You work on something that you are responsible for, which is not guaranteed to work and coming to the end of your time, you might realise you don't have enough to show. In many way it can be very similar to starting a business, there can be incredible highs, but also incredible lows.
I have had VS Code load the wrong version of a file. I’m not sure whether it’s loading an older cached version or loading a file with the same name from another folder. The first time this happened and I couldn’t resolve it, I put away VS Code for a couple of years. I tried VS Code again after forgetting all about why I deleted it. I got burned by the same problem. You can navigate right to the file you want to open, and it opens something else.
They only show the last two digits of the number. And I've only ever had two phone numbers in my life, and neither of them end with those digits.

Everyone in this thread is clearly stating how this is not a properly functioning system and there is story after story of the kafkaesque disasters to which Google is not responsible at all.

The question I have is what can anyone do to really change things? If we all agree this is a major issue why can't we find a reasonable solution to it.

> We'll see how Biden handles this. I'm sure it's a tough call.

I don't see how he can. I don't see how the next 2-3 US administrations can.

If the current level of China's "scare power" is enough to paralyze the US, you will have less, and less options on the table with each year as you go.

(It's a two-stroke cycle diesel but not as we know it -- three cylinders arranged in a triangle with a crankshaft at each vertex, one of them counter-rotating relative to the other two, and six pistons, two of them opposed in each cylinder! There is an animation on the wikipedia page. Tracking it will make your head hurt. This thing was a mainstay of the British railway industry in the late 1950s to 1960s ...)
Cool project! A bit off topic, but I’m a bad Bangladeshi and never learned the alphabet. Any sources you recommend to learn? I’m not great with (human) languages to begin with, but the character set is a real hurdle.
Their BTC bet is already profitable to the tune of 1bln. Yeah BTC will crash at some point but still those who either manage to sell at good enough levels or have long enough time preference to hold til the next rally will make some serious profit.
Thanks for the in depth explanation! I look forward to exploring it more.
By the sounds of it they're neither virtual nor particles!

"A virtual particle is not a particle at all. It refers precisely to a disturbance in a field that is not a particle."

So from that I gather, it's a term in physics to describe things that look like particles but aren't.
What blows my mind is everyone is so concerned about Huawei and friends, and yet they still use Windows and other Microsoft products. Now _that_ is a true national security threat.
You might be right, I'm not sure. At least in Otto's patent filing (which is found in English here: https://patentimages.storage.googleapis.com/1f/3f/4c/821c6da... ) I don't see such an expression.

I do see though that the breakdown of the Otto cycle on most sites including German ones (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ottomotor) is usually made in a way that just sorts of lends itself to being transformed that way.

Well, thanks for making me go through his writings, this was fun!

Snow Inventory Agent – 6.7.0 on Windows uses CPUID privilege-escalation vuln
In my opinion, the Emacs/Vim communities clearly missed a golden opportunity for a more larger adoption.

They just copy their init.el/vimrc to the server, Emacs/Vim users have been able to do this (coding on remote environments without all the kludges) since forever ;) and personally, I find it superior to vscoce's remote plugin since your editor and tools sit on the same machine.

For GUI editors, I agree that vscode's remote development extension is a killer feature and nothing can't match it today.
This will just push people towards independently operated forums (Tesla Motors Club) and Reddit, which is already the norm for other car subcultures.

How are we to trust you're not a paid Putin or CCP propagandist? Arguably Microsoft has far more credibility than you - my point being there are ways people orient for trusting individuals and organizations.

It's certainly not great artwork (it's a crude hack job cranked out by a local printer when the shipment of real stamps didn't arrive on time). It's never been owned by anyone particularly famous (edit: well, the DuPont guy is somewhat (in)famous, but the stamp was extremely valuable even before he owned it). None of the people associated with its production are particularly famous. It doesn't play any kind of pivotal role in world history, or even the history of the former British Guiana.

The only reason it's worth $9.48 million is that there is only one of them.
Great start! Keep in mind the limitations:

I'm in a similar situation with Apple. I can't access my 10 years old account even though I know the password and control the email attached to it because I don't remember my security questions and I don't have my recovery email anymore.
I probably put rubbish data in the security questions as they weaken the security of the account.

Funnily enough that password leaked and someone managed to take over my account (I wonder how they manage to bypass the security questions, sounds like a security vulnerability on Apple) and they're using it to register (I assume) stolen devices and install software.
I get email notifications every time these people do something.

I reached Apple support but they're unwilling to help, they even refuse to nuke the account as a last resort.
Actually, Microsoft Office apps (others are not much better if at all) are not objectively easy to use for everyone. Just sit down a kid in the 2. or 3. grade and let them write about what they like with some structure, include pictures, print it out. You can go further: can they share a Word or Excel document on social media and will it generate a preview or do people have to download the whole document first and have some app that understands office documents installed? Ok, now sit them down in front of a brand new computer with Windows. How long will it take until they can edit a document in Microsoft Word, when they have to buy and install Office first?

Not very hard tasks to me - because I have done all of them hundreds of times. Other, even more advanced tools by Microsoft of course would fare much worse even with people like you and me, otherwise quite proficient with digital tools, if we haven't learned to use the one tool beforehand.

Yeah, Word is better than Notepad if what you want is to write rich text, but is it actually much better than WordPad from the usability perspective?

You have other problems, when your environment is so unstable that you have to hire new people every 6 months. Nowadays, you cannot expect any knowledge really unless the people can show a certification. Even a diploma in CS from a university doesn't mean the people know how to program useful stuff.
