No, I just tried posting to imgur and it didn't go so well. It is a white mountain on the horizon, taken with a cell phone. Honestly the pictures don't convey much. If you zoom in, you can see the distortion, though. I'm sure a decent lens could capture it.
From your link I found this picture of 3 flying ships.

I can feel my brain contorting a bit.
i took pains specifically not to do that. Nowhere in my comment did i limit Hitlers impact to Jews alone. You failed to read my comment properly. Any reference to the Jewish holocaust was in the context of the parent comment. Please read my comment again and don't shoehorn your preconceived notions into what i said. i was very conscious in my wording. One thing i took for granted was that the parent and his family were not victimised by the germans like other minorities. Or if he did, he doesn't care so much

They do, and they aren't.

No because the whole point of a secure, permanent record is lost if it's on an experimental chain. We have great systems for casual bookkeeping already, no need for a blockchain.

> My personal take is that AVAX and DOT are the best positioned in term of compatibility and costs but I'd like to hear counter opinions!

Agree with those picks. But once again these are still speculative, equivalent to Bitcoin or Ethereum when they were just launched. We didn't know whether the networks could actually be secure, or if there were fundamental flaws that would render the whole entreprise pointless. Ava labs did the very important work of researching and developing an entirely new consensus protocol, but that comes with risks, and as far as I know there are still many that think their system is fundamentally flawed.

That's my thinking too. I have my VR hardware (2 tracker things+headset) on a power bar that I turn on separately after boot.
Such guarantees aren't easy.

And come on, "writing a single block"? No, that's what it looks like on the user side of things. In the kernel it's going to be a good deal more complicated, because how does anything know anything about this block you just added? You need to keep track of it somehow.

Inside the kernel you need to go find some free space to use for this extra block, and to update whatever metadata is needed to make things consistent. It might well turn out that the block you're using to keep track of what blocks belong to this file is just full, so now you have to allocate another block for filesystem metadata. Then there's issues like journalling. And doing all that while providing the guarantee that you won't need to allocate memory is likely tricky.
Could be as simple as "number of companies that need auth x number of employees of that company x average cost per seat for Okta/Auth0".

Now, figuring out some of those numbers is harder. Okta simplest pricing is $2 per person per month, but to really us it you are looking at paying more like $15 a month. So, per user it's $180 a year. 30 billion / 180 = 166 million users. If average company size is 500, that's 330k companies, which is a lot.

Anyway, those are just very quick back of the napkin numbers. I would guess they've done a little more work to come up with the number.

If you're a fan of the free market and want to see these books continue to be available go ahead and contact the rights owners and offer to purchase them.
I made that choice, based on two completely separate wishes:

- "I want my visitors to be able to view this static page without enabling JS" and

- "I already know React, I might as well just write this in TSX"
How does one calculate a metric like that?
> Even the most laissez faire among us would probably agree that you need to set and enforce some ground rules to prevent monopolies, externalities, information assymetries, and other market failures.

Sure, of course there are ground rules. Things that are illegal are not permitted. But what are you suggesting the rule would be that would apply in this case?

And by rule, we're taking about a law, right? Otherwise, it wouldn't be binding and we're right back to where eBay is within its rights to decide not sell (or list, if you prefer) these books.

To be clear, I think it's fine to complain about ebay's stance here. I don't agree with it. But you can't do it in the name of free speech or liberty generally as the previous poster is attempting to do.
If an idea can't be communicated, for example because books carrying it are systematically cancelled, then that idea is being banned.

This is what happens when Amazon, for example, bans books that express views of transgenderism with which Amazon employees disagree.
I've been running ad nauseum for years and have never had a problem with Google.

JSX (or even MDX) might fit the bill!
OTOH, give it time. Open alternatives exist for every private walled garden. I believe the decentralization/federalization and FLOSS movements have a real chance, even if they move at 0.05 velocity. Private platforms are subject to closure, but the light of an open source project will shine as long as there's someone spending time on it.

In due time we'll have networks of small providers catering for BYOC hosting. Cryptocurrencies can play a part in efficient and fair compensation.

But then again, maybe by the time we catch up to current date, everything happens in walled VR moats.

Maybe I'll be the oddball in the metaphorical cabin in the woods, but given the progress we're making so far I'll refuse to enter a closed VR/AR ecosystem.
I believe that they are referring to the EAV data model, which is maximally flexible, in terms of schema modification. But performance, especially in terms of queries (but also in terms of DML) is atrocious
This is something I wonder about quite a lot. If we had a way of eating food but knowing it was basically just culinary masturbation so to speak (i.e. no nutrients beyond what is safe or thin), would we still eat like we do - I'm not particularly prone to comfort eating, but the psychology behind these things is fascinating and I would wager the answer is probably no (and would probably be deeply immoral given that some people starve)
I cannot stand Lakoff, having read Don't Think of an Elephant years ago.

No, the reason Americans felt September 11th so deeply isn't because the Twin Towers were "phallic" imagery, nor was it because planes "penetrated" the "vaginal image" of the Pentagon in a "plume of heat."

He seems important to folks who study in the field, so maybe I shouldn't judge him on one book, but I don't get the hype.
Yes and I think I disagree with that line.

The difference is one of intent. Having tools or processes to have processes is a bureaucratic mess which they Agile folks rightfully wanted to cut with a scythe. Sword. Scary sharp thing of your choice.

There's a difference between building tools and process, and building a culture of toolsmiths and process tweakers. The latter, I think, follows the spirit of Agile but not the letter of it. And lean is just... throw the baby out with the bathwater. It's bureaucracy as written by a minimalist.
If only the researchers were as smart as you apparently think you are and somehow remembered to control for these very obvious factors. Oh yeah, they did.
>> “ Maybe somebody out there truly thinks Green Eggs & Ham shouldn't be stocked because it glorifies exploiting animals for their meat and eggs.”

Maybe we’ll get there. In my lifetime censors have been mostly concerned with childrens’ books with supernatural themes and more recently lgbt stories. I’d guess that’s still where most of the library “book banning” is focused.
> Does anyone have a good example of a programming problem where we _need_ signed zero? Or where it makes things significantly simpler?

Maybe when you're implementing floating point numbers in a way that's simple and widely applicable?

I'm only half joking, too, though I can't tell you what exactly having a distinct sign bit simplifies.

I can say off the bat that it is probably useful that a very small quantity that might otherwise lose enough precision to round to zero maintains its sign regardless.
It’s ok if you’re not convinced. The fact of the matter is I showed you an example of how a growing economy still constitutes as a zero sum game. You haven’t shown otherwise.
IEEE 754 does also specify operations and their behavior. E.g. section 5.1 (from 2008 edition):

> All conforming implementations of this standard shall provide the operations listed in this clause for all supported arithmetic formats, except as stated below. Each of the computational operations that return a numeric result specified by this standard shall be performed as if it first produced an intermediate result correct to infinite precision and with unbounded range, and then rounded that intermediate result, if necessary, to fit in the destination’s format (see 4 and 7).
What on earth makes you think calling anyone anything is off limits?

I'll call a spade, a spade. Any day of the week, week of the month, or month of the year. Not being willing to do so is a disservice to everyone around you, and even to the person in question, who may be caught in the Nietzchean transformation into the very monster they putatively fight; something even the people of Israel may be served well to remember. It's one thing to be besieged on all sides, it's another to ante up atrocity on top of atrocity.

You don't get to claim you aren't the monster when you're doing the Same. Bloody. Things. It isn't different this time. You aren't justified doing it, and we've all seen where this movie goes before, your attempts to control the narrative aside.

An African American executive espousing abusive workplace policies targeting a disadvantaged or otherwise unable to realistically defend themselves group of workers is a fair game target for being called out as a slave driver or plantation owner. A people espousing the employment of phrenological methods for the purposes of undesirable population control are a dead on ringer for the Nazi political regime circa 1940. No it doesn't dilute the message. It reinforces that evil is often seductive and insidious in it's tendency to convince even good people that they are doing the right thing when by all objective definitions they most certainly are not.

You, sir, would be well advised to think through the consequences of your pleading. To minimize the usability of highly disambiguously responded to subject matter is to unfasten society's overall moral compass by atrophying the ability to sense the fundamental ways in which the evil that drove that atrocity was itself a composite of goods to the people doing it.

I hear you, and I in no way do not feel sympathy for the victims of those atrocities. Quite the opposite. I have a near all-encompasding moral mandate to ensure that the confluence of circumstances, and lack of accountability holding, or voices of reason that led to such vile rhetoric taking root never happens again. I will call out BLM for their civilly destructive tendencies, and lack of restraint of those that step out of line at their protests; I will call out the woke movement for doing the same thing you espouse, thus ensuring a fields of ignorance and uncommemorated infamies evils for previously experienced to grow and burst forth out of.

If people weren't so prone to doing evil things thinking they were doing the right thing, nobody would have to call them out.

Evil, just as hope, springs eternal. It is our duty as the gardeners of our species collective morals to be on top of it. That does not happen by locking the ugly away in a box or by ignoring it. What you ignore has just as much of a positive consequence as what you willfully do. The act of willful ignorance is the one great unforgivable intellectual sin.

Thanks for the suggestion. i just checked it out and it's not free software so it's not a viable solution unfortunately. There's dozens of startups offering a similar service. What would be interesting is a community-oriented, free-software initiative.
eBay can ban sales of books on its platform, and has done so.

The copyright holder / publisher can prevent any publication of books it holds copyright to, and has done so.

Distributors of books, like Amazon, can stop selling books they disagree with, and have now starting doing that too.

So the answer to your question is: all the above.
This is a great exercise -- well done!

What I try to convey to my students:

* We write programs to solve problems.

* The program is a model of the real-world problem.

* The better our model is, the easier it is to solve the problem.

* Objects are excellent ways to model real-world "things" and manipulate them in our programs.

I see online there's a movement that says OOP is "bad" but honestly in cases like this it makes perfect sense to me!

That explanation is even more strange if you figure out nothing of the infrastructure from 20 years ago still exists that could explain the difference. Every single active or passive network element must have been changed when technology evolved, likely multiple times.

I have a better explanation, and it is just greedy companies that invest absolute minimum into infrastructure, oversubscribe their internet access and pioneered worst possible customer service just because the customers have no other option.

All the more reason to have equal leave so they can be looked after while recuperating. If you're suggesting giving new fathers less "approved/acceptable" time off, you're telling mother who have these complications that they're going to have to fend for themselves. Imagine telling someone with a 4th degree tear (don't Google this) that they have to deal with everything around that, as well as a newborn, alone for 8-10 hours a day.
It's about $550 per person transferred from grid operators to power generators, for what was essentially a failure to provide service (there were lots of contributing factors, but generation was offline, not in service).

Should probably call it the Utility Utility Commission at that rate.
I believe you! (And now that you mention it, it's pretty obvious.) Unfortunately those often don't come across on divisive topics.

Personally I've always considered Hop on Pop underrated as a Dr. Seuss classic.
I am sorry for fuming a little.

I’m just sad that there’s topics that are not really possible to have any kind of rational discussion about just because they might lead to un-comfortable conclusions or even if they sound like they might be too close to “forbidden thoughts” (even though they are not, I don’t think anything I said was actually “racist” and deserved your dog-whistling comment)
To each their own tbh, and I am glad that both games enjoy the success.

I am the complete opposite, I liked both, but Hades easily is the winner for me (and I am saying that as one of the very very early dead cells backers). Because they managed to refine the roguelike gameplay to almost-perfection, but the storytelling and writing are on a whole other level compared not only to other roguelikes, but a lot of games in general.
> How would you pay for those magazines?

Nice! Definitely being long vol in the current market environment is a good call imo.
As an aside, historically many of the early binary computers used ones complement. So they had both -0 and +0 integers as well. While ones complement is probably more obvious than twos complement, it was near-universally considered a terrible mistake by the mid-1960s, and everything of note since has been twos complement.

It didn't die quickly though. The UNIVAC is still with us (in emulation) and that is likely the reason why the C standard addresses the question of negative zero integers. (Their handling is implementation specific, of course.)
Yea, I understand. I personally never restart Chrome, unless I'm doing a full computer restart.
Yes. HTML isn't XML.

As you discovered, HTML in the real world is allowed to be malformed in various ways, while XML is not. A compliant parser MUST barf on various kinds of malformed text. (Search for "fatal error" in https://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/ to verify.) This makes XML parsers inappropriate for HTML parsing.

Interestingly, even perfectly valid HTML may not be valid XML. To see that consider <b>this <i>example</b> carefully</i>.
>they literally cannot leave. Or they have children, or leaving might put others at risk.

>Point of working through the analogy being, even on an individual basis framing leaving a relationship as some sort of arbitrary choice is kind of nonsensical

Could you give some common examples where an individual "literally cannot leave" FB, or where leaving FB would put others at risk?

The best example I could think of is a small business owner losing potential money from taking their business page off FB.
I use PHP for exactly this reason. I wrote my own single .exe binary (written in C++) that generates JSON files from markdown files + others. The JSON files are then turned into static files via PHP using whatever template I care to create.

I think people their life harder when they go out of their way to avoid using PHP when really it is suited towards these types of problems.

Not sure I understand your comment. Is `accumulate` a scheme function?

My comment was intended to say that Clojure vectors have some operations that are performant and some that aren't. It is part of Clojure's philosophy to encourage the operations that are natural for the respective data type. `conj` appends to the end when applied to a vector but inserts at the head when applied to a list.

So you want to pick the appropriate data structure for the job and make sure only natural operations are used. For a vector appending is natural whereas inserting at the head is not.

I was not commenting on the main article about the research, but instead on the comment by user karaterobot that I am responding to which -- if I am interpreting it correctly -- asks the question how good one can guess purely based on those 3 demographic axes.

As you note, the researcher's predictor appears to do better than random even controlling for these obvious demographic skews, which is fascinating.
