Currently working on a complete user mode ISDN BRI+PRI stack for interfacing old equipment plus a number of utilities for it like a softswitch and things like a H.320 multipelxer. Once I got a baseline working I might work on some little integration programs like a bot that lets you connect to a discord voice call from an ISDN videoconferencing terminal.

Once I’m satisfied I have an old CMTS and limesdr sitting around I might try to build a custom DOCSIS modem with.

> the sprint is meant to reassure management that they'll get at least *something (even if not a full X) in a predictable time

I would rephrase it as "sprint is meant to make management to believe that they'll get at least something in a predictable time".

I also notice that lots of comments seem to be coming from front-end or customer-based companies. For backend and b2b, 2 weeks sprint for some new functionality is funny.
With wing mounted engines on two-engine airliners, there is physically no way to take off on one from other than a dry lake bed. The thrust from the operating engine will introduce more yaw on the airplane than the rudder, nosewheel steering, and wheel brakes can counteract.

Even tail mounted engines (with a shorter coupling arm to the centerline) will typically have a Vmcg (roughly, speed at which lateral control on the ground is lost with one engine inoperative) that will preclude takeoff on one (physically, not by regulations) from available runways.
I only had 2 weeks opened up, just opened up to 4 weeks in advance. Looking forward to chatting!
There is a reason the agile manifesto starts with the line I quoted. The number one mistake made is thinking that some tool or process will let them crank out code steadily though inefficiently with developers of unknown ability. But if you dont have those individuals interacting well there is no tool or process that can save you.
Absolutely, it makes sense for a product. But claiming it’s ”counter addicting” is just false.

Dreadlocks are quite interesting in this regard. If you were to consider them as having specific religious/cultural value, then they'd be specific not so much to black people, but either to Rastafarians, or to any adherent of an Abrahamic religion who has taken the Nazarite Vow, which is associated with the biblical figure Samson, and means you don't cut your hair, and abstain from alcohol and contact with corpses, and possibly a few other things.

But knotting into dreadlocks is also something that hair just does naturally if you don't comb it.

I completely agree with your view on this.
Sometimes the sign is used to indicate which "direction" the temperature is moving. If it was -10° overnight and it's -0° now, the puddles outside will still be frozen. If it was 10° overnight and it's 0° now, the puddles will still be liquid.

(Edit: no idea whether this applies to the Apple watch, it's just a use case for -0 with regards to temperature.)

This will restore Dr. Seuss to the New York Times best seller list. Every brand now needs to consider new methods to attract hostility - sales will go up.
Exactly. I have no doubt that the pain and symptoms are very real, not dismissing them.

Also, I understand that there is some stigma with mental health too.. so I am not surprised that I'm getting strong reactions as soon as it's mentioned.

Well, I'm sorry if I ruffled up some feathers. But I think all angles of the issue need to be considered, and probably the best way to deal with this is to be open to the possibility.
Since the bootloader for my encrypted disk isn't on there, it is harder to determine that it even exists.

How does make it harder to determine your encrypted partition exists? The usual way encryption aids plausible deniability is through multiple keys, e.g. when one key unlocks a seemingly innocuous-looking installation, while the other unlocks the nasty bits.

Having an encrypted partition in plain sight offers no plausible deniability at all to me, especially if it contains a default LUKS header. You might get away with arguing the disk is unused when the partition has a detached header, but even then you'd have to argue why a non-functioning machine is fully equipped with monitor, keyboard and network connections.

Really? China has been building plants quite steadfastly. Fukushima seemed to have put the breaks on that but still, there are plants being built. Yet Western companies, like Areva, seemed to have completely lost their game in making the plants and nobody's willing to buy them from China or Russia. And sure, there's a high capital cost but putting the solar panels or wind turbines to match the capacity of one modern nuclear plant isn't exactly cheap either.

I suspected that the whole “geek culture” around computers started to grow around the time when video games were heavily marketed to young boys. And it’s natural that through video games these young boys would have grown interest in computers and eventually programming. I admit that this theory needs quite a lot more research though. (Maybe it’s the other way around, the prevalence of male geek culture changed the landscape of video game marketing? Or perhaps it’s not just cause-and-effect and more of a positive feedback loop.)

The funny thing is that at the start of the video game industry (I would mark that as the Atari era), TV advertisements for it really didn’t marketed it specifically for boys, it was more for “the whole family” and for both boys and girls. The heavily gendered marketing started in the Nintendo era (years after the Atari shock), around the late-80s to early-90s you see a large shift in style of TV video game ads. I don’t currently have links to the TV ad archives, but you can find lots of it on Youtube.

Put your creative energies into interactive digital art. Seriously. Museums are hungry for digital art, and the "digital artists" out there are not very sophisticated, technologically. Exercise your intellectual art mind-fuck muscles a bit and you could make a name in the serious art world.
France is absolutly filled to the brim with Nuclear power and have not had any problems. No one is building RBMK reactors so unless you build a NPP in an area which is at risk of tsunamis any accidents wouldn't really cause any major damage due to modern safety protocols.

The alternative is the continued dependence on Natural gas and that would lead to the extinction of mankind.
jpeg.ink was made because I noticed that people liked to have nice backgrounds for their images (ex. for changelogs, blog posts, ...), but the widely-known tools (ray.so, carbon.now.sh, ...) were code-focused. jpeg.ink lets you select any image and get a nice background on it.
I believe that's actually a standard presentation, I've seen it in several weather graphs.
It's basically a rounding yeah, signifying it's just slightly below zero, but not enough to round to -1°.
> Uh, it's interesting that you see the design of your product as a counterexample, because to me it looks exactly like what mobile games have been doing as a mechanism for maximizing engagement.

Addiction is a habit that interferes with other areas of your life. Smoking isn't bad because you're having something to do with your hands during a break, it's bad because it's expensive and impacts your health. Playing games for 8 hours is fine if you have time for that, but bad if it stops you from keeping your bathroom clean.

So yeah, intentional habit forming is using the same techniques as addiction building. The difference is, essentially, in the informed consent involved in the former.

Ok, so what's true? -0<+0 or -0==+0
But those numbers are essentially cherry-picked. They include just production of energy, like falling into the furnace? Consider about externalities. Mining, shipping. Then add in environmental erosion resulting in lower lifespans around the globe. Then failure/interruptions that endanger folks during cold snaps/heat waves. That's a big one - petrochemical plants can be down 30% of the time (nuclear < 2%) leaving grids endangered.

And of course its per-terawatt deaths that are interesting, not totals. Other wise you just have (literally) a heat map!

This is the problem: that sentence is backwards, as it is scrum.
A high performance team HAVE excellent communication. So Scrum tries to force this hoping it will create a high performance team. Effect before the cause. Maybe if you are lucky, it would work... maybe.
Not true. The questioner has not provided anywhere near enough detail to determine if regular expressions are sufficient. For example: should <br> match, or not? Its semantics are identical to <br />. To determine if regular expressions are enough, you would need to know exactly what markup you’re dealing with, and that has not been provided.
Lul, you are over-estimating managers capabilities to differentiate a 10x developer from a 0.1x developer.

Personal observation, but then you would say that's an anecdote. However if you are familiar with how governance works in India this will not be surprising to you at all.

The moment it is required that an official needs to sign off on something, that power will be used to extract money first and political favors next.

The recent love jihad laws that require a sign off from the administration attesting that no harm has been done in s case of mixed faith marriage, is not the first of its kind. A couple of months ago a marriage registrar and local police asked for a hefty bribe from two of my acquaintances who were getting married to each other - all because they are from different religion and that requires a sign off from local admin. This is a known practice and the corruption money finds it way up to high places. It is a politically sanctioned corruption.

Speculating now --
The recent spate of cow slaughter lynching is less about protecting cows ft slaughter houses but note about using the political system to grab protection money from Muslims - give me money and continue as usual or get lynched even if its buff meat that you are selling/transporting
I think you're right that they're indistinguishable, in that -0.0 == 0.0

The division by 0 in that article gives the same ArithmeticError in each case, notice the 0.0 in both errors:

iex(8)> 1.0 / -0.0
** (ArithmeticError) bad argument in arithmetic expression: 1.0 / 0.0
:erlang./(1.0, 0.0)
iex(8)> 1.0/0.0
** (ArithmeticError) bad argument in arithmetic expression: 1.0 / 0.0
:erlang./(1.0, 0.0)

It's also ignored when rounding:

iex(10)> Float.round(-0.01, 1)
0.0
iex(11)> Float.round(0.01, 1)
0.0

You realize this was a publishing company deciding, completely unprompted and out of their own volition, that they don't want to publish these books, right? Whose freedom of speech is being violated here?
My parent's objection was that eBay was a monopoly, and as the only place to buy or sell used books they should face higher scrutiny. I pointed out that Amazon is a serious competitor of theirs; eBay is far from the only place for used book selling.

Thanks for your [2] link paper, it's an interesting one.

If you think about it, the high-level idea makes some intuitive sense. Since NNs are known to be "equivalent" to kernel methods - which are, to oversimplify, essentially nearest-neighbour + a similarity function - then the ability of NNs to memorise specific training examples can be analogised to adding another "neighbour" to interpolate from. So maybe it's not too surprising that NNs which can do this can have better generalisation performance. (Although it is still surprising, since I certainly wouldn't predict it a priori!)

Really, what is the difference between a "feature" and "memorising a data point"? It seems only a matter of scale - how much of the input space is "relevant" to the learned representation.
What is politeness but acting in a manner that is respectful of the sensitivities of our peers?

Perhaps the heart of the issue here is that when the sensitivities of certain people are not deemed to be worthy of polite respect, we are implicitly deciding that those people are not worthy of being our peers.

That's also a good point. Some just look at specific times in history when something was exclusive to a culture, ignoring that earlier or at the same time other cultures had the same things.

... why would you want that? How would you ever run the program when it's broken on every keystroke?
0 does double duty as meaning itself and to indicate underflow due to multiplying very small numbers.

If you have a function that can experience underflow it can be useful to preserve the sign of the underflowing value.

Otherwise you'd need more checks to get that information.
Exactly. The worst thing you can do when dealing with bullies is to give them what they're asking for.

The main reason for using google docs is not it’s superlative editor... /sarcasm

It’s the collaboration features. And no I don’t mean the multiple people typing the doc at the same time.

It’s the ability to quickly share a document with a set of people that you want.

Sure I use Vim every day, but without that git push and a trip to GitHub to invite collaborators I’m a man on a desert island waiting for that next weekly ferry.

Code editors and that ecosystem is good for code, but too slow for people who just want to share some recipes with their brother and not think about it too much.

Until we have some sharing infrastructure easy enough for a any client to sit on top of, it’s all a dream.
I used to have dreams of setting breakpoints in my children, to figure out their objectionable behavior. Very strange.
What I don’t really get is the cancelling of a subset of his work.

If he did the drawings and those are deemed racist enough to cancel his work why are the company still ok with profiting off the rest of his work? He was either racist or he wasn’t and if he’s racist and that’s enough for cancellation then stop the circulation of all his work and stop profiting off it.

Like be consistent with your logic, think if it came down to stop profiting off Seuss at all and removing him from children’s culture entirely people might approach this more rationally but instead it’s “yeah he’s racist but we’re still going to profit off the work where he didn’t draw racist caricatures.”

Just find it interesting the cancellation becomes granular once the property is profitable enough. If the company really cared they’d stop selling all his work entirely.
I'm in the US and currently get 200/40 with DOCSIS 3. These speeds have been available for around 10 years here.

Although technically I was only upgraded from 100 to 200 for free a few years ago because a competitor came in since then with fiber who offers 200/200 at the same price. I haven't switched over because they cut me a deal and truthfully I don't upload enough for the extra amount to matter and I get single digit ping times out of my provider which I'm happy with.
Your predictions about the state of the puddle are most likely right, but not for the reasons that you think.

Air temperature is commonly measured at 2m above ground. An measurement of 0° air temperature does not imply 0° ground temperature. The more significant effect is that the ground has a higher thermal capacity than the air, so it changes temperature more slowly throughout the day. If it's been colder before and now it's 0°, the ground is still way below 0° and thus puddles are frozen. If it was warmer and now the air has cooled down to 0°, the ground is going to be a bit warmer still and thus puddles are liquid.

Denoting this difference as +0° and -0° does not seem very useful since the same effect is going to be nearly equally significant at 1° or -2°.

(Sidenote: The thermal capacity of the ground is also the reason why air temperature is not measured anywhere near the ground.)

You talk as if everyone uses one browser and decides to stick with it, shunning all others. I would wager there is a substantial amount of people who use a mix of Firefox, Chrome, Brave or even Opera, all for different purposes. Personally I use Firefox for anything political or controversial, then Chrome for the entire Google ecosystem (watching Youtube, Googling, Docs, etc). Then Opera I use for surfing on untrusted Starbucks wifi (it has a free VPN and I use it for shady hotspots). Brave is good, but I can't wrap my head around BAT no matter how much I research it online. WTF is it?

It’s used when writing SIMD code all the time to quickly mask bits as needed or to check the sign of a floating point number with an SSE intrinsic. _mm_xor_ps(_mm_set1_ps(-0.f), reg) as an example negates all four components of reg.

No. This was eBay, not a publisher. No. This was not completely unprompted.
That’s an eminently reasonable proposition but that is far far from insisting on dogmatic application of a zero-sum rule where it demonstrably does not apply.

One of the most interesting proofs of this is the measurable change in the Earth’s albedo due to climate change (and the downward spiral that creates). If we can demonstrate notable changes in how much energy is retained or lost, globally, that destroys the notion of this being a closed system. Similarly, the sun itself is known to be variable in its total energy output so there is no reasonable assurance of a constant amount of energy into or out of our global system. We can’t really control how much energy is produced but it is false to assert that all energy is used as well - there is notable margin for good or for bad here - and because of that, the zero-sum claim is just silly.
How about instead you restrict your book buying to a specialty “woke only” bookstore that carefully curates a selection guaranteed not to offend your delicate sensibilities?
