Engineers in the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union seems absurd, but strange things like that can happen.

For example, a lot of engineers in aerospace and defense (including software engineers) were members of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of American (UBC).

That came about because when Howard Hughes built the Spruce Goose he hired a bunch of UBC labor. They only built one Spruce Goose, but as the company did other things, many of those workers stayed, and UBC continued to represent them. When Hughes started Hughes Aircraft, more workers turned to UBC to represent them.

As late as 2000, Local 1553 of UBC was still representing all kinds of engineers at various companies that have arisen out of the various splits and mergers that the Hughes companies have been involved in. I don't know if that is still the case.

There's something funny about satellites and missiles, which are about as far from wood-based projects as you can get, being built by people represented by the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners. But then there is "Japan developing wooden satellites to cut space junk" [1], so maybe it isn't so funny after all.

nil is Latin. null is English/French. They both mean the same thing - "nothing". As long as people speak more than one language across the globe, there will be multiple words for the same things.

Almost every x86 board on the market is way more expensive and/or way more power-hungry than the Raspberry Pi.

The only one I'm aware of that's in the same ballpark is the Atomic Pi, which was apparently a limited production run using heavily discounted surplus components. It's not as popular as you'd expect given the $40 price point, which I assume is because there isn't anything like the same level of community support that the Raspberry Pi has.
I am not really trying to stir the debate. I am just answering the title's question and saying that there is nothing novel about their opinions versus anyone elses.

Its not really 'yuppie elites' versus 'everyone else' but more like 'conventional investors' versus 'crypto enthusiasts'.
A usual Maybe(Just, Nothing) doesn’t cover these use cases, because Nothing is just a typesafe null as in “unknown unknown”. Case(Data T, Later T, None E, Error E) could do. It is all about return/store values, because you get values from somewhere, and it’s either data of T, promise of T, okayish no value because of E, or error because of E. Where E is a structured way to signal the reason. No other kinds of code paths exist, except exceptions, it seems. (The latter may be automatically thrown on no type match, removing the need for try-catch construct.)

Not necessarily.

I was molested and raped as a child. Most people had no idea.

I did attempt suicide at age 17 and I began making two grades per year below a C starting after I was raped at the age of twelve and I spent time in an insane asylum.

But I also was one of the top three students of my graduating high school class, had the highest SAT scores of my graduating high school class, won a National Merit Scholarship (to UGA, in fact) based on those scores, etc.

Most people are not talented at identifying indicators of abuse and people in abusive situations are often doing everything in their power to find some high road solution because they know they are at risk of being blamed and ending up in jail or some shit.

When I was institutionalized in my teens, I was initially presumed to be a badly behaved teenager. I distinctly remember having a conversation with a staff member who assumed I was just some asshole teenager and they markedly changed their tune when they found out I was a victim of being molested and raped and I was suicidal and that was why I was hospitalized, not because I was doing bad things to other people.
" Modern cars regularly send basic data about vehicle components, their safety status and service schedules to car manufacturers, and mobile phones work in very similar ways." -Google

This is a beautiful quote because it is an example of one industry's bad behavior leading to another industry's bad behavior, upon which the first industry then users the second's similarity to justify themselves. Cars only started doing this because phones made it normal. It's wrong in both cases.

It's similar to when Apple defended it's 30% store cut by claiming it's an "industry standard"... specifically, an industry standard that Apple established.
The right-wing think tank Heritage Foundation actually has an extensive database of voter fraud, and while they try to make a big deal about the number of cases that have been found, the unwritten fact is that the rate is infinitesimally low.
Intel tried to make: https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/79084/i...

in the past as a relatively cheap x86 CPU. ($9.62 per unit)

However, it's a 400MHz 486 with some backports (1st generation Pentium, no MMX even) and broken LOCK prefix so that software specifically needed to be recompiled for it.

And at 2.2 W too, it never ended up succeeding anywhere, with no successor.

This article is everything I dislike about the postmodern perspective. It seems to start from a position of: humanity is bad. Then adds: any promotion of space exploration must be an covert attempt by the people involved to "normalize" their agenda. It can't just be an overt promotion of their idea to spread humanity to other planets, because surely everyone agrees with me that humanity is evil. See! I used the word "colonize" - that was a clue. Because what we're doing is exactly like what the imperialist Europeans did.

Seriously. In decades of riding in cars, I have never once been in a situation where a seatbelt would have prevented injury. Does that make seatbelts a bad idea? Is that even remotely scientific, even though I have a significantly larger sample size?

Starship is being developed in a very different way to Apollo. Apollo program's first launch was October 27, 1961, the first crewed launch was October 11, 1968 - 7 years later.

Even if you start from the first Starhopper launch, that gives SpaceX until 2025 to be technically ready for the first crewed launch.
It's very sad Rosenblatt did not live to see the resurgence of neural networks and his perceptron algorithm. The perceptron algorithm isn't exactly what we use to train neural networks today, but it's similar enough in theory and practice that it still feels very fundamental to understanding machine learning.

I mean at this point it's obvious if you're using a digital device data is going to be collected, that's part of society and living in the 21st century; could be your toothbrush, fridge, washing machine, car...All these devices generate data that is going to be collected.

It's also changing how crime is investigated; Google can be asked for a list of smartphones in an area at a given time, can be used to collect evidence or information (were you in this building on this floor at this time?). Carrying a smartphone can implicate you (or not) and you can be photographed by anyone at any moment regardless of your "rights".

I think people need to understand you are responsible for what you do on a computer; your clicks, searches, taps, installed app list, and basically everything is being recorded regardless of consent (which appears to be an illusion these days).

This is neither shocking nor unexpected. Humans generate data, data is going to be collected and used.

That's not going to change any time soon. Some thought Google would introduce a similar privacy feature to Apple's tracking consent but I lol'd at anyone who believed that.

This was one of the significant changes from proto2 to proto3.

This was also met with much opposition internally, and recently changed as of v3.12 (released last year).

As users, we are assured that telemetry is only for the purpose of "improving products and services", "improving user experience", etc. If one company is collecting 20x as much as another, all else being equal, one would expect that this would be reflected in the quality of the product/service/experience.

Of course, Google's service is to advertisers, first and foremost. Users generally do not pay for what they receive from Google. Perhaps Google's paying customers, advertisers, are the ones seeing the improvement in the quality of service as a direct or indirect result of telemetry.

That wasn't what I was referring to. Net worth is (assets - debts), so the money for a down payment is largely the only part of a house that contributes to net worth at purchase time.

In other words, your down payment should be less than 30% of your net worth. Still hard to do in many places.

I had a friend try to sue a company. It turns out it has sizable out of pocket costs, the lawyer fees are steep, and you aren’t compensated for the time you have to spend on the case, even if you win. But the worst part is, most issues you can sue over, the most you can recoup is what you can prove as damages. So if a company literally steals $500 from you, that is all you can recoup after dealing with all of the hassles of the lawsuit, chance of losing and being out thousands of dollars in costs, the time (years usually), etc. And if you settle, those proceeds are also income taxed.

If anything, there should be more lawsuits against companies and they should be punished punitively.

> The q had exactly the same behaviour except some small changes for data ingestion. Around 500 lines of python, 16, not a typo, 16 lines of q. The performance comparison was absurd too.

I think this comes down to every symbol having a defined behavior that can be optimized around, rather than building a framework for creating your own symbols (functions). Dyalog APL has some similarly insane "beating C"-type benchmarks.

However, if you were to branch out into the more traditional constructs in Dyalog APL or J (K/Q have less of them due to being much, much less generalized), you'd probably see some significant performance decreases simply because they're more generalized. Eg. I doubt that Dyalog APL objects are as optimized as C++ objects.

Note: I have no experience designing languages or building compilers/interpreters. I just wanted to put my two cents in, rather than leave this on the somewhat vague and "mystical" note.
They may already have. Investigation is already pending:

The Intel Compute Stick (https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/boards-kits...) and its clones (which can still be found easily on eBay) and the Intel Compute Card (https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/compute-card/compute...) showed that x86 could match the Raspberry Pi form factor with roughly the same idle power and much better peak performance. However, the parent is correct that Intel couldn't (or wasn't willing to) match the price point.

I have accounts for personal use and what I did was set up TOTP for the root account(s) and a U2F (YubiKey) device for the admin account(s). I use 2 YubiKeys; one primary, one spare. The YubiKey has limited TOTP space, but they're perfect for those types of high value accounts. You store the TOTP on both, so if you lose one you can use the root account to fix the admin account.

2019 was the release of their first performance model. With the hybrid option there's no turbo lag (that gti's are notorious for) and the steering is very sharp in sports mode (can also create custom profiles to adapt steering, suspension and dampners to your own likings). The hybrid model is better compared against the gte which has very similar specs to the gti.

The gte when I tested seemed heavy and the brakes were spongy compared to the gti (regenerative brakes but the corollas aren't spongy like that) and it was evident when the electric motor switched off.
Too risky?
I really wish I could use 1080p with a 1.5x scale factor.

It is worth noting that when Apple was initially developing this feature, around the time of Mac OS 10.5 (Leopard), they had fractional scaling. I thought it was awesome. I can only assume that some artists felt it was not awesome. (I'm going to stop googling for this now, but I think 'Resolution Independence" is a key phrase that will help in finding it if you are interested).

As for HiDPI mode, I know I've done it in the past for external displays, but I haven't been able to get it to work with my 1080p displays using Big Sur. I think this might've been the most useful link I've come across: https://www.reddit.com/r/hackintosh/comments/jh6pjd/hidpi_on... . If you do manage to get it to work, a toolbar app like ResolutionTab or EasyRes is then a big help for changing between modes.
> Wikipedia actually does not do (correct) attribution on their site (no attribution next to the images.

More recent versions like CC-BY-SA 4.0[1] explicitly say that it may be reasonable to attribute via a hyperlink.

Older licence versions do not have this line, but even then, it could be argued that Wikipedia itself is not infringing because attribution is still provided as part of the same work (considering the whole of the German Wikipedia as the work), rather than on an external site.

Unless German courts have already ruled that attribution has to be next to the image?

> I absolutely do. Do you... not? You can do a quick web search for "Arabic type anatomy" that will make it crystal clear for you.

I also do not. When I search for that, I find articles like https://www.type-together.com/arabic-type-anatomy which say things like "Do not use ‘x-height’ and ‘cap height’ simply because there are no ‘x’ or capitals in Arabic."

So since you do see such a thing, maybe you could show us? You could give a specific link or make a drawing.

It's a sad commentary on how low the bar has been lowered. "No, you're system isn't secure, but the people that can access it can't really do you bodily harm" is not really the level I would hope we are trying to acheive.
The APs and switches are stateless by design (which I sort of like), but if you make CLI changes on the controller using the config file they are not reverted in my experience.

Though it's not super well supported either because they prefer people using the web UI to the config file.

In this field, sending out surveys with "objective" questions to a large amount of people to collect data is the only way to get your research deemed "scientific". I think everyone would agree that the role of the scientists and writers of these pop-psych articles should be to interpret the point and help readers come to an insightful and true conclusion like yours, but really everyone in the psychology and journalism fields are forced to run a "I'm just reporting the facts like my boss wants me to" mantra to keep their job.

It's kind of sad that this academic system makes it so only well-paid therapists get to do that, because of course looking at the current state of affairs in the world and coming to and reporting on and building insight on the logical conclusion that only hurt people hurt people isn't "scientific research" because the peers in your field only allow themselves and others to repeat what the numbers in the excel spreadsheet say. The psychology and objective journalism fields are great examples of dysfunctional academic systems.

I like Alice Miller's hot take on her field in her book "For Your Own Good". I'm just going to straight up copy her text:

Those who swear by statistical studies and gain their psychological knowledge from those sources will see my efforts to understand the children Christiane and Adolf [Hitler] as unnecessary and irrelevant. They would have to be given statistical proof that a given number of cases of child abuse later produced almost the same number of murderers. This proof cannot be provided, however, for the following reasons. Alice Miller lists off 1) child abuse takes place in secret 2) testimony of victims on their own suffered child abuse is often very flawed to protect their parents 3) experts in criminology have already noted this trend in their scientific research

Even if statistical data confirm my own conclusions, I do not consider them a reliable source because they are often based on uncritical assumptions and ideas that are either meaningless (such as "a sheltered childhood"), vague, ambiguous ("received a lot of love"), or deceptive ("the father was strict but fair"), or that even contain obvious contradictions ("he was loved and spoiled"). This is why I do not care to rely on conceptual systems whose gaps are so large that the truth escapes through them, but rather prefer to make the attempt ... to take a different route. I am not searching for statistical objectivity but for the subjectivity of the victim in question, to the degree that my empathy permits.

You may be interested in April[0], a version of APL embedded in Common Lisp so that it can be called as part of a CL program. Also, my own language BQN[1] is a rework of APL that comes much closer to Lisp in that it has first-class functions and closures. It's self-hosted (using a compiler that follows Aaron's strategy), allowing it to be embedded in other languages with relatively little effort, but currently poor performance. There are Javascript and C VMs with another programmer working on one in Erlang; Clojure could definitely be a possibility.
