I remember a beautiful sunrise hike up to the Meteora monasteries in Greece... then the swarms of busses filled with elderly retirees coming in after.

Sure, you can visit places when you're older - but it's a vastly different experience.

There's a problem with testing sprinklers: engaging them can be damaging to contents and even structures.

Try mentioning men's day at mens day on company slack or twitter to raise awareness of the abuse that young boys suffer in early school. Try to raise awareness of why men are sentenced harder for comparable offenses, graded more harshly (unless anonymous) etc.

Count how many people immediately jump in to try to ridicule you, typically with something like: there are already 364 mens days in the year, why aren't you happy already?

Hamas has not used anything approaching chemical weapons by any definition against Israel, despite your attempt to deflect.

Hamas rockets have in fact been filled with white phosphorus, literally exactly the same substance you're talking about, and fired at Israeli cities, intentionally, in attempts to kill Israeli civilians. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestinian_rocket_attacks_o...

I assume you've been misinformed, or only presented with information from a specific side. But literally both Hamas and Israel have used white phosphorous. That's not a matter of debate, it's just a fact.

International law doesn't consider WP a chemical weapon, which is why no one claims Hamas has used chemical weapons against Israel. It's also why your claim that Israel used chemical weapons against Hamas is incorrect.

I like the concept you are proposing here like "Are fractals alive".

I dont think fractals are alive as they need you to execute them.

When I think about this I see there is a difference between the equation of a fractal which is like a description of it and the actual fractal which exists after somewhere the equation is executed.

Here the equation is like DNA and fractal itself like a cell.

Self replication in this case would be a property of the fractal itself.

Self reproducing means they can execute the reproduction part themselves or at least this is how I see it.
This. When people talk about break-ups, you learn something about human nature like people's different attachment styles and each person's unique emotional vulnerabilities and their resilience in spite of it. When people talk about their careers and work stories and when you really listen, you learn about what people truly value (getting money vs. an academic pursuit, integrity vs. personal expediency); with travel stories, there is no character arc, more like a pastiche, a camera pan of the landscape they traveled to.

We may as well go back to the classical theory of life: it's that which breathes. That is, if it's got active respiration, it's alive. So, a virus infected cell is alive but a virus alone is not. Once cellular respiration stops, the cell is dead.

Hi !
Tesseract is used to recognize numbers as strings, which are then casted into floats.
So it actually does recognize letters, but during the cast it will generate an error and outputs as numpy.inf ; but this was a choice of mine, and one can easily change the code to cast detections into integers, except when it is a letter in which case keep it as a string. :-)

The idea is that human-only drivers will be paying more attention in general. It’s not like kids are jumping out from bushes in camo, they’re present in an environment that can be observed as you get closer and closer to them.

Distracted driving was already a problem on the rise, and self driving mostly seems like it’s going to enable that type of inattentiveness even more.
I personally see the flip side, the original logging service at 30k/mo is totally wild. How much data was being logged/searched if you don't mind me asking?
"Roblox Ninja Warrior" - this was fun mostly because the kids could do the courses as they are better at moving than I am. However, they'd sometimes fall off, which is funnier.

"Famous Fashion" was funny - a theme is set and you have to dress up your character to suit, and then everyone votes. I thought I'd be bored in 5 minutes, played it for about 90.

"Universal Studios" was the theme park. Amazingly done.

"Pinewood Space Shuttle" was good fun - particularly if you fall off the shuttle while it's in orbit.

"Starcourt Mall" (Stranger Things) was nice to go there, as we've watched the series together.

"Ragdoll Engine" - as the name implies, just mucking about with the physics of your character.

"Epic Minigames" and "Lab Experiment" have small games in them and they were both pretty fun, plus you're playing against other people. I actually won a round, which the kids never expected, so I became a legend. For 38 seconds.
I've always read it as "Happy To Help".

Could you give more context?
Stories and experiences are not overly interesting. Diversity in drive/motivation is.

Walk into New York UN offices and a neverending list of stories and experiences will flow. But the org is feckless because its selects for, over time a class of people more interested in showing others their UN credentials and perks than anything else. You can be mesmerized by the diversity and experiences and forget the middling outcomes over time of such groups.
I had the exact same thought. I was a bit surprised that they would advertise to use such a tactic.
Same reason, flight risk. You’ve shown independence already.

This is useful for services that have short surges but very little traffic around the month. If you only need a surge for 1 hour per month, then it should cost around $100/month.

You're completely right. IMO this is the best comment in this whole thread. Their status page must be broken, or it's a lie.
That feels like a post-apocalyptic story now, remnants of great, more developed civilization.
Again, you misunderstand. Both Zig and Rust have much less UB than C. The delta between Rust and Zig comes at a cost to language simplicity and to more testing. You're guessing that that cost's negative impact on correctness is smaller than that positive delta. It's a reasonable guess, but so is the opposite one, and neither is more proven than the other, which would be my guess (while I don't write safety-critical code these days, I worked on safety-critical realtime software where a bug or even a later response could cost the lives of many people; in such correctness-critical domains C is preferred over C++ despite being less safe), although I would even more confidently bet that the real difference, whichever way, is small.
This is really an ideal one. It was a very nice experience. All of us enjoyed during our call through merimeet in terms of quality and wonderful GUI experience throughout. Keep it up team !!
> What I've found it really helps is when you have to tear down a prior specified behaviour/request/spec, or update it, or integrate it with other things.

Honestly, in my experience, the opposite is true of unit tests. I've never been able to make a significant change to a piece of code that was thoroughly unit tested without having to more or less re-write the unit tests from scratch.

However, integration tests and whole-project automation do help tremendously in what you are describing.
Is there a good explanation on the difference between polling model and completion model? (not Rust-specific)
Once you've got your document working the way you want it it's lovely. It's the journey that's bumpy. This is the same complaint PhD students have been making for at least thirty years.

Well I work in machine learning, where quite often mathematical 'fudge factors' are used over something more rigorous - because they just work better on real world data. So I'd be pretty sympathetic actually, and I have a PhD in maths. I barely know any economics but:

"Would a person ever prefer a process [A] that, after three rounds, diminishes wealth from US$10,000 to 0.5 cents over one [B] that yields a 99.9% chance of US$10,000,000 and otherwise US$0? Ergodic theory predicts [A] [... but] [v]irtually everyone will prefer B"

This suggests to me like the maths may not be all you need to know about who is right and wrong.

Secondly, you've appealed to the authority of one advocate's Nobel prize IN PHYSICS to assert that this paper in economics is correct. I believe the bunch of salty critics on Twitter (and Reddit, this thread, also in official rebuttals published in Nature), from people who actually work in the domain - should at least make you entertain the possibility that you are wrong about the correctness/importance/applicability of this paper.
I could afford it because I had pre-existing relationships with the businesses I worked for (as a writer, not a developer). While technically freelance, I didn’t have to worry about finding work while I travelled.

If you can, it’s probably easier to go remote with an established income than quit and start from scratch while travelling. Otherwise you will spend a lot of time hustling to get clients.

> Note that C++ offers async as a library and not as a programming language feature which Bjarne Stroustrup is strongly against.

https://www.modernescpp.com/index.php/c-20-coroutines-the-fi...
I think Rust is also able to hide certain things.
Without async things are fine:

type Handler = fn(Request<Body>) -> Result<Response<Body>, Error>;
let mut map: HashMap<&str, Handler> = HashMap::new();
map.insert("/", |req| { Ok(Response::new("hello".into())) });
map.insert("/about", |req| { Ok(Response::new("about".into())) });

Sure, using function pointer `fn` instead of one of the Fn traits is a bit of a cheating, but realistically you wouldn't want a handler to be a capturing closure anyway.

But of course you want to use async and hyper and tokio and your favorite async db connection pool. And the moment you add `async` to the Handler type definition - well, welcome to what author was describing in the original blog post. You'll end up with something like this

type Handler = Box<dyn Fn(Request) -> BoxFuture + Send + Sync>;
type BoxFuture = Pin<Box<dyn Future<Output = Result> + Send>>;

plus type params with trait bounds infecting every method you want pass your handler to, think get, post, put, patch, etc.

pub fn add<H, F>(&mut self, path: &str, handler: H)
where
H: Fn(Request) -> F + Send + Sync + 'static,
F: Future<Output = Result> + Send + 'static,

And for what reason? I mean, look at the definitions

fn(Request<Body>) -> Result<Response<Body>, Error>;
async fn(Request<Body>) -> Result<Response<Body>, Error>;

It would be reasonable to suggest that if the first one is flexible enough to be stored in a container without any fuss, then the second one should as well. As a user of the language, especially in the beginning, I do not want to know of and be penalized by all the crazy transformations that the compiler is doing behind the scene.

And for the record, you can have memory leaks in Rust too. But that's besides the point.
I use org-mode all the time and do a lot of plotting with Python and matplotlib and for some reason the snippet

#+BEGIN_SRC python :var fname="delseepy.png" :var delsee=delsee :results file
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

x, y, z = zip(\*delsee)

fig = plt.figure()
axes = fig.add_subplot(1,1,1)
axes.plot(y, z, marker='o')
fig.savefig(fname)

return fname
#+END_SRC

has never worked for me. I have to remove the "return" keyword on the last line. Not sure if this is an org-mode issue or related to the Python version (the author seems to be using Python 2).
> A bigger problem in my opinion is that Rust has chosen to follow the poll-based model

This is an inaccurate simplification that, admittedly, their own literature has perpetuated. Rust uses informed polling: the resource can wake the scheduler at any time and tell it to poll. When this occurs it is virtually identical to completion-based async (sans some small implementation details).

What informed polling brings to the picture is opportunistic sync: a scheduler may choose to poll before suspending a task. This helps when e.g. there is data already in IO buffers (there often is).

There's also some fancy stuff you can do with informed polling, that you can't with completion (such as stateless informed polling).

Everything else I agree with, especially Pin, but informed polling is really elegant.
The memories....

It's been amazing just how many high profile crimes have happened in the past few months where the suspect was a repeated offender of serious crimes. And as well, they had often last been arrested in the few months but for some odd reason were immediately released only to commit another serious crime.

My take from the article is to not sacrifice good engineering principles (e.g. code quality, tests, scalability, performance...) and re-scope, adjust number of feautures, etc when needed. That’s just the nature of engineering. As Product owners get more experienced (contextually) and better communicate with Engineers, scopes get better and sprints are more accurate.

Can sprints be used as highger level structure grouping pieces of work together, without any hard deadline involved? I think that happens in some organisations, with no or soft deadlines.
The GSOC projects are not trivial ones, AFAIK, so the target is a bit different from yours. I also think that the project you mention are complex, with multiple reasons for the high barrier to entry.

If you like OSs, and you're looking for a low barrier to entry, my guess is that you could try working on Wine. I remember seeing fixes that are the addition of a constant or so (but I have no experience in the field, so I'm not sure). This could give you some basics, and pave your way to contribute to ReactOS.

Corporations have been killing people for a long time. The early cars were death traps that would almost certainly kill you if you got in an accident. Cigarette companies kill their customers and used to tell them it was good for their health. I’m very skeptical self driving cars will be stopped by people dying. The company would be liable and there’d be a payout, same as always.
For a while, until China learns everything it needs from them and then discards them.

This scenario has been played over and over.
A few years ago the company I work for installed suppressors on the Inergen system. It did trigger from time to time, which was tracked to the humidifiers. And yes -- it did destroy harddrives because of the pressure/sound waves before we installed the supressors. Haven't had any incidents after we fixed the humidifiers.

But Inergen (and other gas) is more or less useless if you allow it to escape too quickly. So the cooling system should be a fairly closed circut.

How did you go about meeting people in the first place?
Taking steps a bit further, it would be interesting to know what variation saves what money. Eg if your load is 80% of the time between 80-100k connections but the 20% at 250k, you save $500 a month using serverless or vice versa.

Is it as simple as $60k/number of connections? If so the cross over point would be just 6250 connections as your base load. IMO, that $1500 server starts to look very appealing very quickly but I imagine it isn't as simple as that.
Is each block converted into a function? Otherwise it's a syntax error.
Hopefully such things bring forced availability of rare spare parts. If cookie cutter capacitors break, that's nothing really since you can just order them on Mouser et al.

But if a more special part breaks, say a custom voltage regulator to a game console (just since I saw a video on that fail yesterday), I would like for a repair center to be able to buy one such for a reasonable price and have the 500$ console repaired for perhaps 100$ - not scrap it.

I guess you might have success if FB is making a page that appears to be representing your business.

Because well, that seems like misrepresentation, or straight up fraud.

But publishing reviews of your business sounds well within the bounds of freedom of speech.

Pretending that the page hosting those reviews is affiliated with you, probably not legal unless you have agreed to it.
