PHPBB era forums would let you authenticate by putting a session ID in the URL. No cookies needed. There are many ways to do authentication without cookies. There's also basic auth. The whole "we use cookies" thing is a weird misnomer to make laypeople understand that the website is talking about the same concept those FUD articles about web tracking have talked about (tracking can be done through thousands of different vectors, no cookies needed).

No, as nicbou said, the "we use cookies" popup seems to be only required for tracking/advertising cookies.

In terms of 'freeing the source' AGPL without source attribution is just as 'libre' as with it - but with it, the effects I mention are possible - therefore it's radically different when used this way than with the license alone, and so has a 'different spirit'.

You are right though, that 'libre' software is not about economic freedom but keeping the software 'free'. One of the reasons I'm in the BSD/MIT camp - software doesn't exist in a vacuum.

To be clear, there are ways to write this query without UNION that have both good performance and give the correct results, but they're very fiddly and harder to reason about that just writing the two comparatively simple queries and then mashing the results together.
Oh, I wouldn't presume that it will be faster than the union but I wonder how it compares to the original query in the article (the one with OR).

That would make being artificial a meaningless term for me. You have to use strategies to deal with kids, coworkers, spouses, and anyone you want to interact with. Most times subconsciously.

Even being well kept and dressing tidy is a strategy to signal you’re organized. Some people are naturally organized, and some people aren’t and have to consciously try to do it. I don’t see what difference it makes though.
Nice to see some people still trying to innovate on web browsing experience. With all mainline browsers stuck with almost identical UI, it is great to see some experimentation still going on.

The test was changed in 2020 yes (it was made harder). The you link is the last list but lots of cars have been tested since then. I'm aware than no Tesla have been tested in 2020 but you can still compare numbers if you have an idea what to look for (just don't only do X = X). For example the Tesla doesn't have as many air bags as those scoring high in 2020-2021 (even the mentioned small Toyota Yaris have Centre Airbags between the seats to get five stars) and even if you do compare scores directly (even though the new scores are harder to get) the Tesla with the highest score in the Vulnerable Road Users test (which is what the cybertruck would fail) scores 74 while the Toyota scores 78. The Polestar 2 gets 80. Saying Tesla is the safest cars today is not true. Most 2020-2021 cars are safer, even small ones and that's not even counting the mess that is Tesla's "autopilot".
No, english is the neutral communication language european wide. One of the major players extending their language union wide (France, Italy, Germany) is not possible. It also wouldn't make sense.

I'm a physicist too, and learned electronics on my own. I don't have an engineering job title, but have done fairly extensive design work. In my workplace, I'm the go-to person for anything analog and quantitative, such as figuring out a noise budget for a measurement system, as well as for figuring out how to prove that it actually works. Horowitz and Hill had a chapter entitled "digital meets analog," and there should be another chapter, "analog meets physics."

Like others have said, there's a lot of overlap, especially for experimental physicists, which is what I studied. The stuff that makes studying engineering hard for a lot of students is the math and physics.

There are subjects that we don't learn in physics, such as control theory. Yes, that's worth learning. I defer to engineers for really hard feedback control problems. My approach is instead, to design the hardware so its physical characteristics make the control problem easy. That's not always possible.

One reason why we can find a way to fit in, is the huge diversity within engineering itself, leaving some niches that look a lot like what physicists do. When I taught in an engineering department for one semester, the professors always had their latest papers posted outside their office doors, and I noticed that one prof seemed to publish everything in Physical Review.

Out in the work world, a lot of people with engineering job titles don't really do engineering: They can be quite busy and productive, and rewarded, for basically arranging things, fitting things together, troubleshooting, dealing with vendors, and so forth. In fact, they can get so busy at that stuff that they forget their math and theory, leaving the physicist as the go-to "math person" when a quantitative problem needs to be solved.

Then there are what I call the real engineers, for whom the engineering skill is accompanied by an attitude and discipline about making things safe, reliable, maintainable, and traceable to documented and published information. These are the ones who won't accept a measured value, but need to see it guaranteed on a data sheet. I'm not that kind of engineer, and I admit it. And we definitely need that kind of engineer for systems that potentially involve public safety or massive economic liability.

Again, Morocco uses the European system wholesale, not just local glyphs that bear a great resemblance to European glyphs. This development is a consequence of the French colonial era and the fact that most serious printing in the country is done in French, while Arabic is mainly (though not exclusively) treated as a language only of speaking and non-serious writing. Thus, even when Moroccans do write in Arabic, they use the same numbers known from French-language publications.

The word "meme" was invented by evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins. He's public facing, but his origins are academic. The word caught on because it's a good word that conveyed a novel idea. One could say that it memed its way into our hearts.

Well, you could outsource those, right? Like isn't this basically the point of services like Stripe Atlas or Pilot - that it should be easier to run a company of 10, with almost all of those 10 people working on the actual product?

In fact, outsourcing HR in particular is a well-established field - it's what companies like ADP do.

Just like there's a happy ground between one massive monolith and multiple microservices per engineer, I think there's a happy ground between a 1200-person company and a bunch of sole proprietorships. It may not be 10; it might be 50. There are a huge number of <50-person companies in the world and they seem to be fine. In many cases, groups of these companies can execute faster than a 1200-person company can, because there's less internal hierarchy involved. (In much the same way that avoiding microservices doesn't mean you have no problems of interoperability, it just means they look different.)

I have a bone to pick with these "win probability" charts.

<rant>

If it was truly a "win probability" chart, that means it's a forecast. Except it's a shit forecast because you're trying to predict really freaking far into the future (You don't even know how far because the game could end at any point in time).

It also makes zero sense. Think about it, I say "you have a 30% chance of winning the game from this position". What does that even mean? If I play well I have a 30% chance of winning? If my opponent is of equal skill I have a 30% chance of winning? It's completely uninterpretable.

There's a good reason for this though. It's not measuring "win probability", it's just maximizing the value of "winning" (I.e. predicting output = 1) given the current state.

They even admit this in the article!

"In addition to making decisions for the game AI, we also used the model to display the estimated win probability for a player over the course of the game"

It's supposed to be a vague and un-interpretable value because it's generated by a black box neural net. So why do we continue to pretend that this is a human-friendly value?

</rant>
I think what everybody is missing in this post, is that is much less about copying and much more about OBSERVING. If you can see what you want to be, you are that much closer to actually being it. The observation is not just a property of the other but yourself.

Author of the original article here. Temporary tables are different than using WITH (which are common table expressions, or CTEs). In many database engines, can make a temporary table that will persist for a single session. The syntax is the same as table creation, it just starts with CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE ....

More info in the PostgreSQL docs [1]:

> If specified, the table is created as a temporary table. Temporary tables are automatically dropped at the end of a session, or optionally at the end of the current transaction (see ON COMMIT below). Existing permanent tables with the same name are not visible to the current session while the temporary table exists, unless they are referenced with schema-qualified names. Any indexes created on a temporary table are automatically temporary as well.

You don't seem to understand how the ratings work as it's not about not passing but that the 2019 Tesla's won't get five stars if they were tested today while other newer cars do get five stars. So no, the Tesla's are not safer than cars with five stars in 2020. They don't even have the required safety equipment to get the 5 stars. The safest car list is from 2019. All five star rating under the new tests are safer than the cars on that list. I'm sure newer Teslas will do fine but 2019 cars in 2020? No, they won't be in the top now.

Edit:
This thread is about the cybertruck and its edges that won't get a good score in the Vulnerable Road Users test. The old Tesla's don't even score as high as new small cars do.

I've looked into this a bit more, specifically reading this essay:

https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/2158244014542585

which seems a fair synopsis for me, of Hayden White's position in Metahistory. I thought this quote was interesting:

"In this climate, White (1966) believes that the duty of the researchers in present time is to transform the historical studies so as to liberate the present from the burden of history and to make the historical studies fit in the aims of the community. Seen in this light, history is not seen as a fixed ultimate entity that cannot be touched and that the historians have to accept it as it is. However, the historians should refuse to study the past as an end or ultimate being but contribute to offer some solutions for the problems of the present, which the professional historiography is unable to achieve."

I liked the general analysis that it seems White provides, but I don't like the moral relativism that is implied in the quote above. Why is it a historian's job to provide solutions for the present? What special values do they have? I don't like post-modern, moral relativism - where 'my truth' is the same as 'the truth'.

My position is that our knowledge of history is imperfect, that we cannot know the past. But a single past really did occur. Rather than express the evidence and express their reasoning for what that means, when historians apply narratives over the evidence they are covering an mystifying the past. This is to say I am receiving negative knowledge - I am receiving an informed but biased view that I will find it hard to unpick. And that is all history afaik! So little primary evidence, so many books and articles!
As a past and sometimes current demoscener, this warms my heart to see our art form recognized in this way.

It's long been frustrating to see curations of digital art that conspicuously exclude the scene. And now the little subculture I participate in is suddenly internationally recognized!

I truly hope that this means we'll start seeing curated digital art shows that are displays of the depth, breadth, and history of the scene.

As a young wannabe technologist who grew up in very rural America. The scene was one of not only the first online scenes I encountered, but also some of the first people I regularly interacted with internationally...irrevocably bursting the insular bubble it's so easy to fall into in rural America.
The cycle typically takes couple of weeks which should be enough for me to notice the problem and use one of the drives to restore the files.

I don't believe I am susceptible to a ransomware attack, though. All my machines including laptop are Linux and most of the software that contacts outside world (including browser, zoom, etc.) are running within dedicated containers or VMs.

Now, this does not make it safe against targeted attacks, but I did not plan it to stand a chance against really determined attacker. I just think no generic ransomware will expect to break out of container or VM.
This really made my day. I’ve marveled at the skill of demoscene folks for a long time, surely in the class of great artists and worth preserving and encouraging.
"They found smoking couldn’t explain the decline. Obesity could help explain the increase in metabolic syndrome, but not the increases seen in chronic inflammation."

Interesting - those would have been my first 2 guesses.
I like to think of people's traits as immutable, environment somewhat mutable, patterns of behaviour as mutable and thought patterns as most mutable of all.

Folks who don't recognize this hierarchy and only try to change matters on one or two of the levels are often setting themselves up for limited success or failure.

It does make for a great self help industry however - telling people they can be so much more, if only they just control those thought patterns via meditation apps, 'clean their room' via Jordan Peterson, etc :)

I am sort of facing the same problem. On one hand I like math, abstract algebra, calculus etc but on the other hand I know I am not great with it. I am slow, I am not creative. So, when trying to learn something for programming like differential geometry, when I go deeper than I need to, I feel like I am wasting my time. And sometimes it is particularly hard to read a book written for mathematicians because my knowledge of it is not as "continuous" as theirs.
https://www.dw.com/en/switzerland-ignores-eu-deadline-for-tr...

The EU is obviously Switzerland's biggest trading partner, and whatever trade is subject to rules and regulations they would negotiate with each other. But guess who has the upper hand in negotiations, if you guess the side with more money and the bigger market, i.e. the bigger economy, correct.

I do find it strange that Switzerland allows anyone from the EU to come and live there if they have a job in the country (AFAIK this includes menial jobs like being a waiter). maybe it was something the EU offered as a package that the country had to take as a whole. In return obviously Swiss people are allowed to live and work anywhere in the EU as well. More on that: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-54316316

So in short, Switzerland is sovereign to do what it wants, but going too much against the will of its big brother would damage itself as well. And I imagine if the big brother decides for something new, Switzerland doesn't have unlimited power to say otherwise.
