There are major differences between attempting to forcefully stop thinking about something, and accepting that you're thinking about something and then able to move on to something else.

In the first case, you're working against your brain, and getting it to behave is more likely to require some kind of violence and cause some sort of damage.

The other way, where you accept and then can move on, is more like moving with your brain.

Instead of trying to stop the river, you redirect it.
My interpretation would be they are glad to get rid of him OR they are a completely tone-deaf group. If someone rage-quits and cites harassment, you absolutely have to take this up, even if that person won't change their mind - but to prevent it in the future.

If you are asking in the most lame tone for the next release, you basically tell them to get lost.
>I disagree that "it fails for many other uses"

Having developed a significant amount of perfect precision math libs over the years, rationals do explode for lots of common computations. That is the main reason they are not standard in all computing. They also cannot represent a lot of desired results.

The problem is rational number performance slows exponentially (or uses large amounts of RAM) for many common uses, which will kill scripts, unless they suddenly fix precision (i.e., no longer exact) or change to float (also a surprise for people).

Setting them as floats has the odd numerical issue, which is not that bad, but doesn't require a host of other mitigations to prevent other bad surprises.

For example, summing 1/n^2 for n=1 to 100000 as floats runs quickly and is very close to the exact answer. As rationals the numerator and denominator require working with 86000 digit numbers.

Also, does raku still do this?

That seems surprising, does it not?
I bought a $200 wireless Turtle Beach headset for my Xbox 360 in 2010 (released in 2008) that came with Dolby Surround 7.1 and Dolby Pro Logic IIx which is meant for creating surround sound from stereo sources. It has both a stereo RCA and Toslink inputs. You're over a decade behind the times.
It's not. Either party can renegotiate a contract or back out of it, pursuant to the terms of that contract. Which is why without being an attorney and seeing the actual text of the contract it's useless to speculate about whether or not Tesla can do this.

Some folks might have promissory estoppel damages as was mentioned elsewhere, but that's entirely different than "you signed this contract so you must follow through on it."
It's average, about the population size of Sweden, would anyone call sweden small? The problem is that the title deflects from the issue which is not that these countries are poor (Azb is rich enough to run an extensive laundering operation to whitewash their corruption). Facebook does the same in Turkey for example, and who knows how many other countries.

I used to enjoy drinking wine, a glass of red wine every day, but I had to cut way back to "occasional" due to health concerns. Lottery's way cheaper than wine, and I still get to enjoy a little creative musing when I imagine how I would spend my time after winning. I could imagine I bought the lottery ticket, but that would be like imagining I drank the wine, heheh.

When planning disaster recovery scenarios it's much friendlier to start with "$KeyEmployee has just won the lottery and gone full F*kTheWorld" instead of morbidly assigning HitByBus.

> Doing anything but consumption and lightweight content discovery on smartphones is basically a farce.

I disagree, even when talkingn about a smartphone as a human interface device and not, as was the actual context of the thread, a computing device.

Having a, say, DeX-enabled Android (or even potentially powered by fairly traditional Linux, if one doesn’t just use a major maker device with stock software) smartphone as a computing device doesn’t preclude standard desktop I/O devices fo interact with it in manner very similar to a standard desktop PC.

> They are not usable as general-purpose creation machines.

Again, as an exclusive computing device, they are just about as much as is any computing device.

Even as an exclusive HID, there’s a giant excluded middle between “consumption only” and “not usable as general purpose creation machines”.
There's a bit of background here https://developers.cloudflare.com/pages/migrations/migrating...

TL;DR:
Workers Sites is basically an elaborate Worker template (which you can modify) and allows you to deploy your sites using the Wrangler CLI — it'll take care of uploading your assets and all, but you're responsible for setting up CI, etc for a continuous deployment experience.

Cloudflare Pages, by contract, integrates directly with Github, which allows us to offer a lot more features out of the box, including running your build, preview URLs, etc.

Hope that makes sense.

That's the root cause of ZMB hyperinflation. As well as droughts and a reshuffling of agricultural land that did not benefit anyone, decreased overall production and created food stress.

I don't see a significant difference between founding a company from scratch and buying a fledgling tiny company with a cool name that has accomplished very little, when the significance is the 99% of what happened afterward.

And neither does anyone else, really, which is why the detail is mostly ignored in common discussion.
If true, that could be an exceptionally interesting method of compression. Any volume of data can be compressed to two numbers: an offset and a length. Presuming we have a way to "stream" the numbers, rather than having to calculate the entire value.

Say goodbye to your QA teams, most likely. Microsoft laid off all of their software QA staff in 2014 and went to a model where developers build automated testing and validation as part of the development process.

And, though it shouldn't come as a surprise, if you weren't using a Windows machine and 100% Microsoft software for your daily work currently, you eventually will be.

Yeah I think that's probably really safe, but you'll probably be missing out a little bit. Just 5 minutes or less of quietly sitting, eyes closed, and letting any thoughts, feelings, and sense impressions (sounds, feeling of weight of body on the floor, weight of the clothes on the body, feeling of breeze, etc), just come and go, and gently bringing your focus back to your breath (sound of your breath, or feeling of breath at your nostrils), at the end of a yoga session is good I think. You might find it helps quiet your mind and bring you back to the moment after the session, as well as sort of balance you and really sort of settle in that relaxed state to become part of you and your experience at that moment. Just that much, and no more is good I think. Mind will wander. Gently bring it back to the breath. Notice quiet at the end of in-breath or end of out-breath. If you want something to think or say to yourself, you could consider, as you are aware of the thoughts, feelings and sense impressions passing by, "These are my thoughts, they are mine, but they are not me. These are my feelings, they are mine, but they are not me. These are my impressions, they are mine, but they are not me. I am not my thoughts. I am not my feelings. I am not my impressions. I am. I am. I am what watches." and repeat :)

I'll take a look! I am still looking for the right speech recognition setup for my needs. I wrote an app that largely expects text input of the spoken command, and I'd ideally like to have hotword detection + speech recognition that can be set up to output the detected command to my own software.
This comment overlooks the fact that the ICC can exert it jurisdiction (power) over two kinds of people:

- nationals of State parties committing a crime anywhere (which would exclude Americans)

- perpetrators committing a part of the crime on the territory of a State party (which includes e.g. Americans in Afghanistan, Myanmar soldiers deporting Rohingya to Bangladesh).

Thus, American CEOs not cleaning up an Oil spill in Canadian waters could be investigated and, if taken into custody, tried.
It would be nice to have energy consumption benchmarks too...
I think the beauty of the switch statement is that when you see one you know you're just concentrating on the value of one variable. I think the if else if is actually cleaner for the user example in the post.
I was using the first order Peano axioms in my comment. I'm not familiar with the Dedekind axiomatization. Didn't even know such a thing existed but the statement I made holds I believe. The standard model under the first order Peano Axioms exists and I'm assuming it is also a model of the Dedekind axiomatization. The incompleteness theorems thus do apply to the Dedekind axiomatization, right?

The article struck me the same way. Instead of being thankful and thinking of all the ways that money could benefit herself, her family and they myriad of ways that she could alter the future in a positive way, she bemoans her situation. It certainly has whiffs of "I'm the victim here". I know culture encourages this, but I hope she's able to overcome it so she can find some peace and do some real good with what she's been given.

This isn't very Zero Trust, it creates a delicious soft centre where there's not even encryption if an adversary can get there.

Likely in a small toy system this is all just binaries running inside a VM like the K8s setup you describe - and you could reason that any adversary who is running inside your VM has won already, but on bigger systems this design increasingly makes it likely production will end up with the unencrypted bits moving over at least some sort of internal network.

I've built things that worked that way, but I've also built things that deliberately did their own TLS, and I know for sure which I'd have confidence in to protect valuable data.
Microsoft's focus here is pretty well known: They've retired the Windows Speech SDK almost entirely in favor of Azure services, which is where the Microsoft Speech team has moved to, and the announcement explicitly stated Microsoft is bringing this under their "Intelligent Cloud" segment.
Isn’t it more likely that the quality of the voice assistant isn’t that important to most buyers?
I have this and it really is quite remarkable. The entire voice integration in the x1 set top box is really polished. Other than the occasional "wow, this is pretty good for comcast!" I hadn't given it much thought until now.
So a man, while he is being crushed by police, will suddenly think "Wow, my head is spinning, it must have been all those drugs I ate." and then verbalise the thought? Or was he denying the rationalisation used for his suffucation?

I think context matters here a lot, and occams razor suggests that a man being attacked by police officers because he is supposedly on drugs will deny the drug taking, rather than invent a whole new category of problem for himself.
First, I like PowerShell - sufficiently much to have used it as a login shell _on macOS_ for a while.

However, you grossly overestimate the “awesome”. To answer each “angry dude” point in turn:

- The verbosity is fine - in scripts, one should fully expand command names. Interactively, `gci` is fine (or the `ls` alias, though some of the default aliases are travesties).

- The startup time is insane. I start a new terminal window hundreds of times per day, and the startup time is what made me abandon POSH.

- Apache 2 licensed, so I don’t care. I do default to assuming that MSFT are doing something shady though, and I’m right [1].

- RTFMing is perfectly fine (and Get-Help has high quality documentation for built-ins), but one must accept that most users will not. ISE (if it existed outside of Windows) was a nice workaround for needing this.

- Python, Ruby, Go, Node and Perl are all more portable (see my last comment about FreeBSD support).

As an interactive shell, nushell [2] is probably the closest thing to the PowerShell experience which is not tied to .NET Core.

An app to find common songs between friends and create playlists from those
I don't know if you ever had this, but most of the time I would really like to play the common songs we have between friends. I've found that this is a good way to bring people together at a gathering, as when a majority of people know the songs, they often enjoy the music more.

Therefore, I decided to have a go with a little project of mine:

https://sharedspotify.com

The idea is that you create a "room" with all of your friends, connect your music streaming accounts and then the app takes care of finding the songs that you've both liked or added to your playlists.

Once the common songs are found, they are gathered in playlists of different styles (e.g. rap songs) so you can choose the right theme and add the playlist to your library in one click.

And the best part is, you can even do that with your friends that have Spotify and Apple Music (Deezer support also coming soon...)

Hope you like it! Feel free to drop a comment for feedback to improve the app!

Take care all, you're awesome!

Another Austinite here, we are experiencing massive growth and the line about not being the right size is foolish. The anti-development crowd said the same thing during our last rail vote when the city was half the size in the early 2000's. If we had built then traffic wouldn't be as bad now.

That seems just a little bit picky. The author of the article already points out that the purpose of the certificates is to avoid the man-in-the-middle attack.

It is also, factually, a description of how RSA key agreement works.
Many/most of the columnists for major papers (NY Times, especially) are rather mediocre. They aren't terrible, but they aren't really a draw unto themselves, either.

I can't see them commanding much of an audience if forced to exist alone on Substack, away from the Times branding. Hence the hostility.
I think the two claims are orthogonal but broadly compatible:

- The speaker/bully frequently finds an internal narrative/justification and does not believe they are bullying / inappropriate, individually or in aggregate. "I am just asking" "it's a perfectly reasonable thing to say" "they should have thicker skin" etc.

- This is not necessarily incompatible with the notion of having a understood and even agreed/public standard that all communication participants can agree to and conform (though THAT is a WHOOOOLE other can of worms these days, particularly in open source, particularly on these forums; it's a complex, not easily-solvable issue, people have different perspectives and priorities, and it turns out people are trickier than computers :).
Plenty of that in Silicon Valley too. Being displaced by rich assholes who came for the money or some fad and will bail on the place just as quickly, leaving the area worse than they found it isn’t likely to make (educated, liberal) rich assholes many friends amongst those with roots or more vested long term interests. We live in a world of replacement and our communities should not be treated as another disposable product to be enjoyed and then discarded for whatever new shiny thing comes along. California, Austin, etc are selecting for people who take more than they give. Their growth removes community and disrupts lives, perhaps a fair price to pay for progress, but is it really progress?
It's insanely more frustrating because there is no standard list of commands - I'm perfectly fine saying things in the way the computer needs (what is a command line after all) but there's no reference listing what it is expecting so you just have to do trial and error to find out what works.
As someone who followed the spygate saga of Trump (I mean really followed) it became clear to me that the journalist is much more important than the outlet for credibility. Good journalists were the key to good information and writing.

Substack makes a big difference because those “10x” journalist no longer need to be tied to an outlet.
>Leaving aside the sheer arrogance of thinking you can say with confidence what's going to "ruin the world for everyone,"

I'm not sure how easily observable facts fall into the category of "sheer arrogance", also not entirely sure why you're personally attacking me. It's uncalled for and adds nothing to the discussion. Global warming is an easily observable fact, it's happening, it will ruin the world for everyone.

>Governments do bad things, sometimes backed by popular opinion. You assume a world government be concerned with global warming or humanitarian issues and would not make bad choices. Why do you assume that? What would stop a world government from committing actual genocide? If it was truly a world government, nothing could stop it.

So you missed the point entirely because you had decided I personally think I know what's best for the planet. I literally stated "I'm not sure how we get from here to ideal situation"

Ideal situation would quite obviously be a state in which there is no genocide. People are not unjustly killed, imprisoned, etc. Maybe chill with the assumptions of bad intentions.
The gatekeeping function value, though. You can argue whether they charge too much for those services, or not. But the role of the editor, and the desire to protect a valuable brand, is real and valuable.
One problem relying on fast libraries causes is it makes doing compiler tricks like automatic differentiation (AD) basically impossible. Also, it restricts the types of APIs that make sense. A simple example of this is to compare Scikit learn to Julia. In Scikit learn, most clustering methods don't allow the user to specify a distance function because doing so would require running python inside a tight C loop, tanking performance. In MLJ, on the other hand, basically anything that requires a distance function will allow you to pass one in rather than assuming euclidean distance. This is possible, because a distance function written in Julia can still be fast, so it can be used without slowing down the whole program for people who only want euclidean distances.

Google's appliance recently decided to stream Dark Piano on The Choice on Tune In when I say "OK Google, stream NPR.". Those things are so far apart I assume someone took a bribe to redirect customers for certain keywords. Lol. (Not really but it was my first thought.)

Google's online advice is whenever the assistant fails to work just retrain the device. I remain skeptical that's the issue because it's not like my way of speaking has changed. Instead I have just switched to a new way to request what I need since reporting the issue via Google's vaunted customer service process seems likely to fail.

The individual stepping down says there are no issues with either of the other two leaders for the release. I'd have to dig, but it's likely a team of three to avoid ties and a have the responsibility spread out.

I have been hacking on a home automation controller (that isn't particularly well written, to be honest) for a number of years, and voice is one area I do not want to have to figure out how to write myself.
