Yeah it's a neat idea but I struggle to think of good use-cases for merge, other than toy datasets. If I'm working on a service that's sharding millions of users across dozens of DB instances a merge is going to be incomprehensible to understand and reason about conflicts.
Accusing a group within China of hacking, and hating the whole of China, are two very different things.
I'd venture more and say merging any DB is challenging, SQLite or not.
I'm finding our phones are our "main" computing device. Why don't we use it as such? Albeit too small to use as an input although via voice, it can be just as productive but display doesn't match the amount of data that needs to be visible to be productive (I being a dev, although same would go for any discipline I suspect it) I just started using this over a chromebook:

Portable Monitor w/ Keyboard

https://www.ebay.com/itm/313275076315?

Kool thing about this unit is
1. builtin battery to power it and phone

2. the screen is touch screen! so basically it's a 13" interface for your phone! make ur car a tesla! ;-)

3. can be used as an extended monitor to your chromebook/laptop.

You of course need a phone that has a USB 3.1 and desktop although there are apps that can mimic and give you that FULL desktop experiences such as Userland and Leena Launcher.

And finally some apps can't expand to full or resized windows.

nevertheless, $300, very very fun to have with you everywhere.

Why better than chromebook? ..honestly don't know. I suspect I could have worked on making it happen but doing it on/from your phone so far seems fun! and of course it's always connect to the web vs chromebook needs to be tethered.
And how helpful is that when they can stop card access? That seems like a perfect example of a regulation that ended up being almost entirely useless.
Then again, no.

Not being an expert in thermometers, but having a vested interest in normal human body temperature, at first I thought aural was a homophone for oral, another common type of thermometer, and a strange speech recognition error.

Having googled the term "aural thermometer", I see it is a popular product, and the descriptions show that it measures the temperature inside one's ear by infrared, as in an aural thermometer is, logically, also an infrared thermometer.

If this simplest of everyday health monitors can have that much confusion in clear writing, I wonder how it is possible to believe that laypeople listening to a podcast on groundbreaking theory could expect to usefully interpret any part of it.
Regarding 1, use availability bias. Whatever is in front of you. Classics vs. Cannon is a nuance there. Fredrick Douglas, not classic, but certainly cannon. Toni Morrison, again, certainly not classic, bu absolutely literary cannon.

If we can separate cannon from Classics, then the question of which classics becomes easy, because any single one will do because they express something that is independent and consistent in spite of the attitudes of the time. There is the small matter of when they were translated, by whom and under what conditions, but you're into the realm of scholarship at that point instead of engaging with the expression of an experience that has managed to persist in the face of change.

The underlying premise of rhetorical questions that destabiliize an idea is that conflict itself is valuable and facilitates progress. While it is useful to have a critical or contra reference point as a control for deeper analysis of an idea, the challenge of the current era is we have a set of critical frameworks that exist to manufacture conflict without adding additional co-ordinates, or as a means to neutralize an opposing view.

So yes, if we set the Classics against a backdrop of meaninglessness, as a kind of scientistic randomized control, the two questions of which ones to read, and the legitimacy of the culture that produced them appears to be a tantalizing and sensational conflict. But viewed through the lens of inconceivable longevity over millennia, they're a pretty good reference for the condition of our species.

I'm trying to get into the habit of upvoting things I don't agree with, and I hope your comment survives so that its controversy isn't washed away.
Winding up with surplus containers in unusual ports made me think about economic externalities. In normal times the freight charge must include some allowance against the container, which is a value all in itself.

The current situation suggests the container short term value came unstuck against its long term utility. Nobody included enough margin on the lease to cover one way usage in extremis. The assumption was most containers would be funded to go to entreports with an onward role: winding up in Lagos after shipping n95 masks for a pandemic wasn't in the plan. Nor was the absence of a market for goods made in africa: nobody was willing to fund getting the inter-modal stuff back on stream.
I'm so confused.

"Build interactive web apps"

"Create bespoke tools"

Any examples besides weird shapes?
Usage is important, has all editors live and die by their community. Intellij is less dependant on them, as they develop their most important features themselves, but third-party plug-ins are still mandatory nowadays.

That's my take, anyways. I'm biased as I personally wouldn't use Intellij if not for the community that made Emacs mode plugins for it. I also tend to costumize more than your average programmer.

But tooling becomes broader and more complex year after year (too complex, maybe), so I don't see in the futur any company being self sustained on that front.
And that's how you end up with a bank unable to handle the existence of certain people because their legal names exceed character limits, contain unexpected characters, or surprise the programmer in other ways. The legal name must be an exact representation, and appear identically. Sanitising it will break things.
Modern web development has also created its share of problems. Needing to import 20 JS files and manage namespaces isn't a problem anyone had before the JS community decided every "library" had to consist of only a single function rigged to an entire test suite with an arbitrarily deep dependency tree. Sure, finding libraries, adding them in script tags and uploading them directly to the server (or linking to a CDN) wasn't as convenient as using a package manager, but vast sections of the web didn't stop working because a repo got pulled or because the SPOF repository for the language went down.

And then you have compile-to-js languages like Typescript, and the entire paradigm of "javascript as bytecode" which, for all of their benefits in adding safety, also added exponential complexity. Frontend frameworks with their own unique paradigms that generate HTML and CSS entirely in JS, and ignore the separation of concerns the web is actually built around.

All of these have their place and their value, but the fact that "vanilla JS" is coming back as a trend might be a sign that things have strayed a bit too far in the wrong direction.
> but I know others will be, and it will only be a matter of time before we have to replace it with something else

Or we can just not give in to such insanity. That's always an option, and would help prevent things from getting increasingly worse as we cede ground to claims that increasingly get further and further away from the realm of what's reasonable.
I'm not sure if this is supposed to be Dolt or DoIt, but using a swear word for a name (even a relatively mild one) is pretty distracting, IMHO.
The fact that classics are in the public domain provides other benefits besides simply being able to download them. They can also be freely redistributed without bringing The Man down on one’s own head. A large chunk of my reading these days comes from Standard Ebooks, and I regularly fix typos and make other formatting or markup improvements, since all the books are published on GitHub and the maintainers are very responsive.
While the overall transaction rate limit is low, the typical customer experience is quite good. I mean Visa transactions take 1-3 days for the merchant to actually receive the funds. On top of that it's not settled on the consumer's end until the transaction posts to their account 1-3 days later. Bitcoin on average settles in something like 10 minutes and is non-reversible at that point.

It's far from perfect but I feel the case you are making is disconnected from the actual experience today.

The part of the book that covers raw[0] image conversion is lacking. It suggests ImageMagick or SIPS (on macOS), completely ignoring the difficulty of properly converting image from scene-referred to output-referred format. The result is probably going to be of limited usefulness in most cases involving interpretation of raw footage.

If the author is here, I suggest looking into RawTherapee. It offers a GUI for authoring and applying raw processing profiles, as well as a CLI tool that can be used for batch application of a given profile to raw images. If you consider raw image processing within the scope of the book, you might as well cover it properly.

[0] Setting aside the insistence of the author to spell “RAW” as an abbreviation, which it isn’t. “PodCast” is another instance of weird, excessive and sometimes inconsistent capitalization style used in the book. Not to say this detracts from the substance, but I would suggest that an editor or a proofreader could help your books be more professional.
Half the conversations on the internet follow that same pattern, so maybe it's a sign of burgeoning human level intelligence.

As other examples, the Glowforge forums are positive in tone, members are mutually supportive, and the company is reasonably tolerant of criticism and of discussion of dangerous experiments, and despite selling materials themselves does not interfere with members discussing alternate sources of materials.

We used git to store and manage data sets for a machine learning project involving chewing detection with audio data used in training. It was cumbersome and the huge datasets caused some problems with git (e.g., searches of our code base got really slow because the data was being searched also until we moved the data to a different repo). Something easier to use that could manage large datasets would be useful.

I wonder if DoIt could be used to create a clone of Apple's Time Machine. Seems like the basics are there.

I somehow fail to understand what this is, but am impressed by it nonetheless. Is this purely for animation designers with coding skills? I thought animation work is done in editors with even less code required usually, but for me as a developer this seems more approachable.

I'm fine with brutalist web design, what I can't stand is low font-weights and small font sizes, like assuming all of your readers are on a 4K screen with the eyes of a 20 year old.

On a more substantive note, this looks really neat. However, as a data scientist of sorts I've found that what people really want is not some sort of interactive 3D visualization, but a well-computed chart showing a sort of natural experiment (e.g. the results of an A/B test) with the right axes. Has anyone used a 3D visualization outside of tech demos? I guess the NYTimes has some neat stuff that's useful.

> They don't solve the scalability problem

There isn't a scalability issue from a technical perspective. Block size limits were originally just to protect against spam.

Ethereum and bitcoin cash already have more transaction throughput than bitcoin.

https://bitinfocharts.com/comparison/transactions-btc-eth-bc...

Bitcoin cash tested full blocks 32x bitcoin's max block size a long time ago. There is no issue with having more transactions. Bitcoin was just crippled to make people think they need a second layer.

What numbers do you have that makes you think there is a technical problem with scalability?

> Ethereum is trying to migrate to POS

That is a mining method, transaction throughput is a matter of blocksize * block generation time.

> Layer 2 solutions gives you optionality.

Like what?

> You can make your own risk assessment and choose the best solution for you.

What 'risk assessment' are you talking about? With any decentralized cryptocurrency you sign your transaction and wait for it to be included in a block. It is simple and there is no risk. The only risk is when you have some hacky 'layer 2' nonsense that needs to be always on.

> I think this is a much superior framework than incorporating all these features into the blockchain.

What framework and what features are you talking about?

> I eventually decided I felt that way because he didn't make his expectations for me finishing and tailoring those expectations to my career goals clear up front, and very few advisors do so.

I come at this from a different field (the biomedical sciences), wherein it is rare to find clearly-articulated career goals from the PhD students, and even harder to find supervisors who care. This problem is made worse when supervisors often rely on their students' naivete to keep their labs staffed.

The students can be forgiven for this naivete: they often start their degrees with the assumption that, if they work hard, a tenure-track or similar position will be available to them at the other end. Of course, reality is that they may fail to achieve that goal no matter how hard they work, simply because they have the wrong project/wrong mentorship/poor funding/etc. The supervisors, on the other hand, are often quite happy for their students to remain naive, as the incentives of students and supervisors are often misaligned.

The solution is probably twofold:

First, it should be essential for prospective students to come in with a very clear idea of their career goals (e.g. "I want a tenure-track faculty position in a leading research university" or "I want a dedicated teaching position at the community college level").

Second, said prospective students should be given clear, objective advice, along the lines of your expectations document, on what it takes to achieve those goals. This advice should help guide students in choosing a lab that will help them achieve these career goals, and ideally should come from a neutral third-party. One can't expect supervisors to be unbiased in this regard.
Like 'responsible disclosure'... implies only someone who is 'irresponsible' could disagree with it. Presumably everyone thinks their disclosure process is responsible, otherwise they wouldn't do it.

The GPU encoders aren't GPGPU programs, but just hardware encoders that happen to be on the GPU. The reason they're worse is because the algorithms they use are worse than x264, which had much more development time and better developers. (who have since retired to become professional cosplayers.)
> One aspect of society's role is to help the unfortunate on the dime of the healthy.

I do think there’s a current ethic that’s exactly as you describe but it didn’t used to be and I’d argue it shouldn’t be. It should be “to help the poor on the dime of the rich”. If the rich happen to be unhealthy or disabled we should expect them to help themselves. This idea that the unlucky rich should be made whole by society doesn’t make any sense, because after all what is being born but another way of being unlucky?

Production is not the source of all value.

There's a continuum, and yes that applies to human languages, both natural and constructed, and to other skills. But where you can choose (so, not natural languages really) you can design things to make this easier, or, I guess, harder.

For example English orthography is a horrible mess. The inventory of squiggles needed to write English isn't too bad, but the correspondence between the words you know and the correct sequence of squiggles to write them is unnecessarily complicated. No benefit accrues to us from this, and in some other written languages it's much easier.

I'd place ffmpeg somewhere in the not-bad but not-great part of the continuum. As with English orthography of course the problem is if you change things with the intent to make them better you actually introduce a cost for existing users which may be impossible to sustain.
Several government-run programs, you might say VCs, e.g. the largest is probably https://www.htgf.de/en/ , finance these ideas more easily than the private sector would. Some are backed by large players in the pharma, chemistry or such industries hoping to get early access to the outcome of research. The universities offer free offices (limited to one year afaik), access to laboratories, help with patent filing. A typical such startup, as you said, has an unproven idea for a product, the product might be an improvement to some industry process or a formula, and needs 6-18months for a prototype. Some use 6 months of the free office just to write their business plan. Source: I went to a HTGF road show presentation at a nearby university. I have only worked with IT/internet startups so far.
