i live in a country where suburbia has pretty average internet (compared to work) and uploading technical shit takes me significantly longer. I can work from home but a change in scenery for me is needed every so often and working from home messes with my being at home time, it feels like living and working in the same place (duh) which I can't do constantly. during the lock down I worked from home for the most part but each week would work from our holiday house, just because it's different.
Currently can’t load the site.

But also, serving static content is more or less a matter of network connection speed. You can cache everything in RAM and write data to a socket very quickly. HTTPS makes things a little wonky because you can’t just sendfile() files directly into a socket but the overhead is still pretty minimal.
Gmail does exactly that, I believe? It proxies the external resources to hide your IP.

What it can’t do sadly is strip out tracking functions (unique IDs and such). Dunno how that could even be solved tbh

Solution to the Windmill Paradox
People badly overestimate what it takes to serve a website nowadays. I don't know whether it's just because we're all used to 10+ second website loads as our browser groans under the weight of all the trackers, or if we all have too much experience with web pages that run multiple 10ms+ unoptimized queries against databases that pull way too much data back, etc. and so we all think web pages are some sort of challenge, but webpages themselves really aren't that hard. It's all the stuff you're trying to put in to them that is the challenge.

I hit SHIFT-CTRL-r to watch the page reload under the network debugger so I could get a snapshot of the total size, which looks to be about 100KB, just eyeballing the sums, so at 10MB/s it should be able to serve around 100 requests/second, which is enough for most websites, even ones getting hugged.
looks like it. page 14 has a figure with a "representative experimental image, where some crystalline features are visible." the nature paper adds that the scale bar is 2nm.

Interesting take, but I am not sure I agree - parentheses are used to denote a thought that is not directly related to the one expressed in the rest of the sentence e.g. additional clarifications. Of which (this being an introductory material) there are a lot.

I tried the sensodyne version once, after buying from Amazon. That's not how I would describe it, instead the paste had an unusual warmth to it. Does that sound familiar to you? I'm just asking because I'm curious if I got the real stuff or not, no real way to know.
To my ears, Iglooghost sounds like an extension of hyperpop. Listen to "Super Ink Burst" after "Immaterial" by Sophie.
This really is wonderful, pleasant and incredibly easy to use. A lot of thought must have gone into making the process as streamlined and secure as possible - well done!

The background animation was a fun touch, but gave me a little bit of motion sickness - I don't know whether it can be made a little smoother.

Do you intend to increase the retention length to beyond 24 hours (this could be a monetisation opportunity, I suppose - the uploader could make a small payment to keep files available for longer)?

Also, my very first question was "How long will my link work?" and I could only find the answer after starting a transfer - it would be good if this info was available up front.
Starlink already is geofenced to where you live (you can't even move the dish within your own country).

I'm pretty sure they will only provide the service legally.

The title seems both true (for the author's situation) and falsifiable. I don't think it's clickbait.
When I first heard of Bitcoin like ten years ago, I thought it worked like Gridcoin - that the computation was something useful and the coin a sort of virtual reward. Oh well.
yes, especially when written in Japanese
I can't say much about this. What I know is that in C, pointer arithmetic is defined in terms of "normal" arithmetic. p[i] is defined as *(p + i). And (p + i) means to offset p by (i * sizeof *p), and that multiplication is computed as the type of i (e.g. (32-bit) int or even smaller type)

Also your numbers are nonsense. A bitcoin is currently worth $60,000. 10 years ago they were worth perhaps 0.1 cents each. I am pretty sure you could not find anyone who would agree that the gains made by bitcoin over the last decade could have been beaten by any other investment.
One of the dynamics I expect you'll see coming out of this at companies that decide to offer a lot of flexibility is that the people who mostly want to come back into an office will get increasingly unhappy if a lot of their coworkers choose not to. (But I expect they'll be able to and will find other workplaces that are more butts in seats, which should be their response rather than try to change coworker behavior.)
If it's one person, sure. But not if it's a widespread problem.

Cool, a fellow wine user, Special Edition has some issues with wine though, the Script Extender takes a long time to hook the game and I get some crashes (I suspect is the lightning effect) , so combining the 2 issues makes me dread opening the game though I am very tempted to finally reach level 80.

The game I had too much time to play was Gothic for me, this one has no quest markers and I also had no internet so I had to struggle with it but I still have it burned in my memory.

And I'm replying to myself to note that the Italian study has also received an expression of concern. So "very likely" may be an overstatement, and if anything that further reinforces my point (that so far, there's no reason to believe SARS-CoV-2 was spreading outside Wuhan before it spread inside).

> Sometimes you want to store 20 million very small values in an array. Forcing use of bigint would preclude doing this efficiently (in the absence of very smart compiler optimisations that is).

I suspect that it would. I also suspect that I don't care. :p

We're talking about Java. Yes, you can write high-performance Java and I wouldn't want to take that option away. But look at the "default" Java application. You have giant graphs of object instances- all heap allocated, with tons of pointer chasing. You have collections (not arrays) that we don't have to guess the maximum size of.

If you're storing 20 million small values in an array, then go ahead and use byte[] or whatever. But that should be in some kind of high performance package in the standard library. The "standard" Integer type should err toward correctness over performance- the very same reason Java decided to be "C++ with garbage collection".

I'm also not literally talking about the BigInteger class as it's written today. I'm talking about a hypothetical Java that exists in a parallel universe where the built-in Integer type is just arbitrarily large. It could start with a default size of 4 or 8 bytes, since that is a sane default. Maybe the compiler would have some analysis that sees the number could never actually be large enough to need 4 bytes and just compile it to a short or byte. These things should be immutable anyway, so maybe the plus operator can detect overflow (or better if the JVM could do some kind of lower-level exception mechanism so the happy path is optimized) and upsize the returned value size. Remember, integer overflow doesn't actually happen very often- that's exactly the reason people don't typically complain about it or ever notice it (except me ;)), so it's okay if the JVM burps for a few microseconds on each overflow.

All this doesn't matter because it'll never, ever, actually happen. I just think they made the wrong call and it has unfortunately led to lots of real world bugs. It's hard to right correct, robust, software in Java.
I'd say the biggest advantages of the web app are:

1. Cross-platform. One build and you're done.

2. No store. You just put it on the web. There are no gatekeepers delaying your deployment, and no hoops to jump through.

There are still all of the disadvantages you mentioned, especially when it comes to the device itself. But a huge range of apps don't require any of those. A basic game or CRUD app should Just Work.

As much as working in the JS ecosystem sucks, it's a real pleasure to type "create-react-app" and "netlify deploy" and have a Hello World app available on every device in literally seconds.

You're gonna find yourself coming up against the limits of that right quick, and then you're going to wish you'd written a native app in the first place. Sooner rather than later, depending on the application. But for a lot of ideas, you can live within those limits, and it's really cool.

>I think paying would also contravene US law.

Utter bullshit. How could you even come up with something like this? We've got a long record of thousands of ransom payments by US companies, don't you think someone might have already said something if this was illegal? There's a whole industry of companies that facilitates these ransom payments, and insurers who will cover the ransom amounts.
The return of Java EE – Jakarta EE 10 – what's coming?
Gridcoin is great. I originally got into Bitcoin mining in 2009, largely because of my previous involvement with SETI@Home, Folding@Home, etc, so BOINC has a special place in my heart as a project.

The thing is though, the long term economic viability of GRC is basically zero, simply due to the fact that it essentially allows anyone who runs any of these BOINC projects to print money for themselves.

This is a generic problem across the various projects that try to do this sort of "proof of science" type approach. Whoever controls the dataset being crunched essentially controls monetary supply. It's very hard to come up with a useful problem for people to crunch on which is provably fair, which is why Bitcoin just hashes random nonces.

Of course these markets are irrational, look where DOGE was able to get, so maybe GRC goes 10000x and everyone gets a Yacht, but as the total market cap increases, the likelihood of bad actors in the system goes up as well, and GRC is fundamentally defenseless against this type of attack.

That said, it's an awesome project, and IMO earning GRC is quite a bit more fun than watching your numbers go up on some website's scoreboard. If you want to show your support for BOINC miners, by all means, buy up stacks of GRC, just don't expect massive returns from it.
Great idea!
It probably combines well with https://github.com/birchb1024/frangipanni
It's not up to date by any measure. There are new electronic genres popping up yearly, and usually it's the opposite of what you describe. Usually one artist does something new, quickly gets labeled and then the copycats start up. It's almost a branding exercise. Genres come and go as you say, and technically most genres are "hype" as they tend to last only briefly. There's nothing unique or new about that.

I don't understand point 3 and how that relates to electronic music specifically. There's a technically-infinite but practically-shallow set of pop music configurations and, yes, most have been done. What differentiates similar songs is composition, timbre, tempo, instrumentation choice, etc. In that regard electronic music has a wider palette to work with.
Ah yes, because welcoming all regardless of irrelevant background details precludes quality software.

Amazing that you don't understand that GCC and Gnome are profoundly political organizations.
As an example, you just posted this reply in a separate thread:

someone else> "Try to focus on the maths and avoid looking at code examples."

you > "Straight out dictatorship."

This is going to get downvoted here every time. The original post suggests attempting something and you have responded asserting that is dictatorship. Perhaps you have come here from other forums where overstating your case is the norm, but that is not needed or wanted here.

If you felt like a focus on math rather than code is wrong you could have responed with something like

"I feel the focus on math rather than code is wrong. I personally learn faster via code experimentation than attempting to read an understand dense math."

Note, I am speaking for myself above as I personally do learn faster via code experimentation (and I have a degree in mathematics). You might think about how you could have elaborated on your position without attacking the other party :-)
The only way that would be an economic problem is if the fixed-supply currency were the only currency, i.e. the one and only legal tender. That seems very unlikely to happen.

Even if government currencies were to somehow disappear, it would still be trivially easy for anyone to launch a new currency, just by deploying a short script on any smart contract chain.

With multiple currencies, we're closer to the competing private currencies advocated by Hayek, who thought they'd bring about a stable economy without need for manual intervention. I'm not competent to judge whether he was right, but it's clear we're not going back to an equivalent of the gold standard.
hmm, maybe it's just that I am only being caught out by the styling rules, or maybe it is that I am pretty good at understanding the cascade so the linked example is actually something that - while probably a footgun - for me is likely to be annoying because I actually wanted to do what I did.

But I guess deploying a footgun is often a minimum two person job:

first person writes code that when used wrong will shoot in foot but they would never use wrong, next person actually pulls the trigger.
Understandable but looking at current progress, I seriously doubt the UK will have significant fiber roll-out within this century.

nobody really cares, it's just all a sham. no real point to leeds certs other than polishing a turd.
1. Where do you get the data from? Is it supposed to fetch it from my accounts somehow?

Thanks for this treatment. The truth is that I wanted to write a full section on this, but I didn't have the time, so I decided to only mark it. I will probably remove the reference, as currently it would not add anything for people who are not already familiar with the result.
I think it’s interesting to see this list get longer year by year. It’s good to have an ideal of welcoming, but curious to me what particular characteristics are “list worthy.”

It reminds me when those people raise their hand in a talk and say “what about security” and aren’t happy until you add the word “security.” Comically, even if nothing in the content is changed. Just adding the word makes them happy and I found it interesting that they didn’t actually assess whether the project was secure and obviously nothing changed except for a label so it was unusual to me that they would be happy since the security posture didn’t change at all.
Displacing the heat in continuous usage will also probably be a challenge, not to mention figuring out how to deploy updates, having nodes be compromised, impostor nodes, latency, etc.

I mean it's an idea I've thrown around a lot in my head since college, but in all my scenarios, I never opened it up to the public, it was just going to be used for me. If that's the case, then yeah it's doable.

If only there was people who only drank one beer everyday and never more, however it is these same people who have the need to drink one beer every day that drink most at parties and get togethers or just in general over the week end.

> modern ML models

As an aside, this is a hilarious phrasing. What are we going to call these methods in a decade? You'd probably be better off phrasing it as deep neural networks.

Anyway, this is not really true. There are methods (for lots see: https://christophm.github.io/interpretable-ml-book/) and the DeepDream paper came out in 2015, so it's possible.

It's computationally expensive, and a lot of people don't see the value, but my argument is that if you want to use the model in the real world, and have non-technical stakeholders then you'll need to do this, and in general, I've found it to be the best way to actually improve a model.

And to be fair, if you just need to see how the predictions vary as a function of the inputs, you can again hold all but one constant and run a bunch of different values through the model.

Again, this can all be done, but I think it's more a question of will than capability (and hence the context of my original commment).

When a corporation signs a contract, it's a contract with the corporation not with the CFO or whoever, i.e. it doesn't follow the CFO if they take a new job. Similarly, a press release is a statement by the company, not whichever PR person wrote it or the lawyer who approved it.

I can see how this would affect one of the articles' points, that there may be gold it isn't ever going to be profitable to mine, but what about the other points that new veins are still being formed and we don't have any specific reason to believe we've found all the ones that would be profitable?

I'm definitely not meaning to argue with you. I ask that sincerely. I wasn't particularly interested in this subject before, but any time I have a chance to ask questions of someone 20 years ahead of me in anything, I try to make the most of it!
"Welcome" the world and actually being welcoming have no correlation with one another anymore. The more "tolerant" an organization or human claims itself to be, the less to they often are in practice.
