VitaPost Blood Pressure Support Supplement – Scam Exposed? Our Investigation
I'm also curious to understand more about how Git comes into play here.
I haven't run into any issues with that package honestly (mclapply ftw!). Other than not being able to use it on Windows of course.
>I imagine that in places where electricity is scarce

I think that's what most people in the west imagine and that's why this is a gimmick that resonates with well-meaning westerners. Besides the fact that developing world is a diverse place in all aspects (so the the stereotype you're imaging is wrong for the vast majority of the developing world), communication is such an ingrained human need, that communication devices like smart phones are everywhere.

But none of that matters. These panels just do not work well - or at least as well as you can expect given the surface area and whether or not there's enough sunlight. That's why nobody bothers with building them into devices. Besides you can buy little external solar chargers for real cheap. And the external ones are better than the ones built into the devices because you can angle them, and they aren't a failure point you need to worry about (that is, if they die, your device doesn't need to be replaced), and aren't limited to device size. Also, I don't know why you would want your electronics exposed to direct sunlight... Heat is not good for electronics.

Again, I support low-power, energy efficient devices. There is a very real use case for them, and not just for the developing world. But these gimmicks, like building in solar panels into the device, are dumb.
I agree with what you're saying, but I don't think it answers GP's question. OP didn't partner or hire someone to do something on an obscure stack, but OP themself as a non-programmer by trade chose that stack, and GP now wonders how OP came to that choice, as opposed to whatever should be the top hit when searching for a stack.
"They love it" but they often aren't given the choice, nor are they fully aware of the consequences (I expect many would choose not to accept if the findings in this paper were presented to them in a clear understandable way).

The average person barely knows what a server is. They install e.g. WhatsApp on their phone, they are likely to think that the app on their phone is doing the work of telling them who else is on WhatsApp. They are not likely to think that their contact list is being scraped and uploaded and stored on someone else's computer in a warehouse, and then profiled for advertising purposes and then exposed to strangers via an API.

The average person may love the convenience, but the average person does not understand how it is implemented or the consequences of using such a service (as described in this paper).
Not only the right voltage, but a bench supply will have current limiting as well. (It will be constant voltage up to a settable current limit and then will let the voltage drop off to maintain that max current set. You can short the output together and set the max current.)
What type of plastic types can be recycled this way?
From what I read, only a small percent of all plastic product can be recycled.

For instance, bags that are on their logo flag, are not recyclable, in UK when you sorting out recyclable materials they tell you that bags are not suitable for recycling. And in some way they tear quickly and contribute hugely to micro-plastic pollution that goes into food chain.

The thing is that the current ecosystem (numpy + scipy + pandas + PyCharm) fits our company structure perfectly (very few software engineers, mostly test engineers who are not very proficient coders). And we already have tens of thousands lines of code. So changing the whole ecosystem just because 5% of the problems are slow is too big of a jump for us. For now, it is easier for us to write a bit of C code for places where we absolutely need speed. But it would have been so convenient if we could just have native threads, so that we don't even need that 5% C code.
> That’s called not having a taskbar

Or a dock, the one GNOME already implements in its Activities screen.

> and has been the case since Gnome 3 (without extensions), so I don’t see how is it relevant under gnome 40.

The author never said otherwise, their whole point was to explain, that moving the dock from the left, which is in close range to the hot corner and button to activate the Activities screen, to the bottom, means that you now have to move the mouse a much larger distance if you want to access the dock with the mouse. And since GNOME doesn't support an auto-hiding dock at the bottom, there's no way around that when you use the mouse.

I mean I'm just rephrasing what the author already wrote, because I think they made their point pretty clear to begin with.

> And why would I want to waste vertical space for that, when I can do a really short movement to see them all, in a better digestible form, because humans are better at remembering the position of something

Every other modern and popular desktop on this planet supports auto-hiding docks/panels and nobody asks GNOME to force an always visible dock on you.

They aren't individually rejected though, are they? They're worried about immigration issues, but those aren't usually "immigration policies for AI researchers who published in prestigious AI conferences", but they apply to everyone.

My first intuitive thought is "gosh, please, don't". It sounds like a crazy idea to integrate a neural net to everything - it might work in the 99.999% cases, but when something like this fails, good luck debugging it, re-training the network and then verifying if your improvement helped on a tight schedule. And it's also a dangerous architectural paradigm - will we end up with syscalls deciding which side effects happen deciding on whether the neural network things the file is going to be useful in the future?

I don't argument for excess simplicity, but if you can't explain (critical) behavior of your code without referring to a big matrix of NN weights, it's probably a bad idea.

This is fascinating. Do companies actually reach out to references these days? Most places I have worked have policies stating that no one other than HR is allowed to give a reference for an employee, and HR will only confirm dates of employment.

If billions of dollars spent on various recycling programs fail, I can’t see these homemade machines solving this problem either. It’s clear this is not immune to the sorting problem which is the root cause of why plastic recycling is unprofitable.

I can see this as an educational program for children and adults that ignorantly throw anything plastic into the recycling bin thinking it would be recycled. But in reality, it’s likely going into the local landfill (or overseas).

The only way to solve this plastic problem is to ban all single use applications (ie, cups, straws, takeaway containers, grocery bags, ...).

Do you think they would work better if they were built into the laptop screen? Because that's what OP was raving about.

You can get batteries and external solar chargers (they are cheap and come in any size you want) if that's what you want to do. Building them into the device is STUPID. For one thing, you would need to put your device in direct sunlight to charge them ... and heat is not good for electronics. Also, the solar array size will be limited to whatever size your device is, that is: "too small".

The tone of the whole thing is fairly flippant, really (an experiment with a different style of writing which I haven't used since!). I certainly wouldn't criticize anyone for using a standard tuning, indeed I do so myself most of the time. Like I said for one thing it makes collaboration (with other musicians or instrument-makers) easier, then there's the fact that the standard tunings themselves form part of the cultural background we're building on when we make more music. For example if we take the roughness plot in the article as representative (which vnorilo rightly calls into question, but still) we see that any interval in the continuous range between an 5th and octave is evaluated as smoother than a minor third. But we don't perceive it that way, I suspect because of our cultural background.

Language is probably a strong one, English is taught in school in Germany, but very much not spoken by a majority. That won't be much of an issue if you're working in an office in Berlin or Munich, where you'll have international colleagues, and everyone is expected to be fluent in English. But it's a very different affair when you're in a grocery store, or need to talk to some government office. I had a friend from the US who had lived in Germany for many years and still refused to go to the immigration office for visa renewals without his lawyer present because the office people refused to speak English and he was afraid that his (very good) German would fail him and he'd make a mistake.

Taxes and salaries are likely another point. Germany is somewhere in the highest taxed countries in the world.
Not necessarily, government agencies don't issue credentials, the news agencies give them to their staff. So we run into problems when independent journalists, freelancers, and citizen journalists either have passes they make for themselves (which cops probably won't respect) or no passes at all.
Skilled immigration to the US is way harder than say Canada, Australia and even the UK, primarily because skilled-immigration reform is used as a bargaining chip in political negotiations involving the severely controversial illegal/low-skilled immigration reform.

There is no problem at all interfacing Julia's C API to Rust. It's a shame that C++ and Rust are bad fits together, but this actually strengthens the argument for Julia as the extension language rather than Rust, since Julia interfaces easily to not just C but also the C++ code in which much of the world's best numerical algorithms are written, and has an unrivalled FFI to Python, while Rust's object system is a poor fit for either Python or C++.

> As a more general comment, using a GC language as the FFI target from a GC language is begging for difficult-if-not-impossible-to-debug crashes down the line.


As for the FUD about interfacing JIT code to C/C++, this is a problem Julia was designed from the outset to tackle. Incidentally, Julia built on the excellent experience LuaJIT has had. A challenge: can you name a particular extension that would interface better from Rust than from Julia?


Oops, I misunderstood the criticism you were hinting at but failing to justify, sorry. OK, Julia already does interface to Python and this interface sees widespread use. If your suspicion is right, then where are the horror stories from people who were bitten when deploying code that built on the interface?
As someone who used to travel a lot by rail in the not so distant past, every station that replaced one of these boards was a downgrade. Most stations had maybe 1 or 2 of these signs with the rest of the smaller ones already LCDs, so it’s not like there weren’t already places to get the info you couldn’t show on a sign like this.

Part of the problem with the LCD signs is they show too much information. It’s not really an advantage to show the next 30 trains incoming on the big board when only the closest 2 or 3 have gates assigned. They also tend to be themed in colors that are harder to read (Amtrak does blue on white, which is harder to read than white on black). Some stations tried replacing the split flaps with single-character LCD displays to mimic, but they always ended up breaking faster (and never getting fixed) for some reason.

From what I recall in an article about these signs, industrial versions were ungodly expensive to begin with, but the real reason they’re being replaced is that the companies that originally made them are all out of business and you simply can’t get parts for them. It’s cheaper to replace an entire LCD panel than it is to fix one of the mechanical signs once and you don’t have to wait 6 weeks with a broken sign for parts to be manufactured.
No, the Pebble used a Sharp Memory LCD, a different transflective technology. It can only do greyscale while pixelQi uses prisms to separate the colors. That's why you get color with backlight and greyscale out in the sun.

Not, it's not.

It seems you and others are confused here and do not understand what is meant by "digital currency".

Digital currencies, like what is discussed and e.g. the "digital yuan" in China, it to create real digital bank notes / coins. Not expert by I think similar to a crypto token.

It means I can hold a digital bank note and pay you by transferring it to you.

This is very different to the current system in which I instruct my bank to do something and to balance with the recipient's bank.

Depending how this is implemented it can be anonymous like physical bank notes, or it can be tracked and plenty of other things also become possible. It also does not require me to interact with my bank.

There's a lot of things that can be economically viable at the personal/household scale that can't work at the commercial scale because of the regulatory requirements of a modern first world workplace.

Most of the time when you see a kit to DIY something this is the niche in which it lives.

Not saying the economics work out for this particular thing but just because it's not commercially viable doesn't mean it's not economically viable. You don't see scrapyards hiring people to drive around picking up scrap metal yet people do it for a net profit, same concept.

Do you know what you are actually stalled on? i.e. Memory or Instructions, if it's the latter you can probably eek out some more performance just by fiddling with compiler flags (you'd be surprised simultaneously how clever and how utterly braindead some compilers are if you play with them on Compiler Explorer for a bit)

Also, if you are running on Intel you might have some luck with Intel's profiling tools as, although I've never used them for python they are by far and away the best things in this area, they do support Python.

I don't know what details they give you in from Python code directly, but if you've used perf to profile code at a low level before, vTune is like a Tom & Jerry shotgun in comparison.

I didn't mean to imply to tackle the fabric industry with this. Just the sewing. I think fabric is still better off mass produced by long running machines and then you design around what's on the market. Much like you would do with wood. This is all compromises, but I think fundamentally sewing is the most approachable craft to not offload to a specialized industry. It's the pattern issue and convenience at heart, I think. As I said, much harder to make your own fridge or couch, than a t-shirt or dress.
