A module on making pictures with the phone would have fewer dependencies. Most of the problem is simply not understanding the problem space. Humans have had less than two hundred years dealing with it and only a decade or so since everyone had a camera in their pocket all the time and about a year of scanning photographs for academia.

I would take that as evidence that I'm not doing something common, which is soft evidence that I'm not doing it the right way. I haven't had to do anything really novel, mostly I just have to do various forms of plumbing.
I kinda disagree with the idea tech blogs aren't real journalism or shouldn't be held to the same journalism standards. Especially with revenue on print media declining as much as it has, I'd say smaller blogs tend to do a lot of the deep original research online that many news organizations would've traditionally done. A blog like The Verge is often the original source of major revelations about tech companies and their behaviors.

Furthermore, while one might consider tech blogs a niche area, we consider Amazon, the world's largest retailer, a "tech company", so as "tech companies" start dominating major traditional verticals, "tech news" starts to just... be "news".
A lovely thing about tail latency in the chains that the post talks about is how one service being slow can cascade. Especially in serial chains, when on component is slow, the rest are waiting, in the meantime using resources like memory, sockets, cpu cycles, that could be used to service other requests. In the worst cases, those other services can start responding slowly to other requests, resulting in further degradation.

Having circuit breakers and carefully tuning timeouts can help.
You're both condescending and incorrect. Bad combination!

Zero websites automatically get JavaScript access from me, and many other savvy web users.

If you missed it, the point under discussion is Apple having removed Parler's access to the app store (and by extension similar action taken against Parler by other providers like Amazon). Apple, Parler and Amazon are all private entities not directly constrained by the first amendment.

Why does that technicality matter? Because it eludidates the hypocrisy of trying to claim that Lin Wood's call for Pence's execution was "technically" a call for a legal trial and execution and not for the mob violence that actually resulted. Which was a ridiculous argument.

The post you're replying to is describing a better process (note the use of the word "shouldn't"), and your reply seems to be saying, "no, because that's not the current process."

The fact that the system we have now exists does not mean it's the best system possible. I could have misunderstood your comment though.

I may be conflating 'boring' with 'rote', but how do you think the nature of your work may affect your job security? This is something I worry about sometimes, because I find that the work I'm doing could eventually be de-valued or automated. Still, I very much appreciate your position as I'm in a similar boat.
Isn't the opposite true as well? Lots of people think bakeries should not be able to refuse gay customers, but do think big tech should be able to arbitrarily choose who they do business with.

I haven’t evaluated and run the code for these 8 cryptocurrencies but the most energy efficient cryptocurrencies with the highest market caps are:

Stellar Lumens & Ripple: More centralized but that centralization means there no no wasteful proof of work needed

Tezos: like a cheaper version of Ethereum for NFTs. Already powered by proof of stake.

Polkadot: Many new coins are beginning to be released on polkadot’s proof of stake network just as they are on Ethereum’s network.

Binance coin- centralized and proof of stake. The whole Binance Smart Chain network is powered by just 21 nodes (validates) that stake about 3.5M of Binance coin.

Cardano - has a cool name and is powered by proof of stake. Has lots of PHD research papers but most of which are over my head.

Algorand- a fast and cheap new cryptocurrency that is powered by two different kinds of validator nodes, one centralized and the other decentralized.

Ethereum 2.0 - will probably take 2-3 years to migrate to proof of stake but once it does, it’s possible that many of the above cryptocurrencies will be rendered obsolete unless they’ve captured large amounts of the market before then.

All 8 of these coins/tokens should meet your standards of being efficient on all levels. When evaluating cryptocurrencies you’ll notice this pattern. The cryptocurrencies with the cheapest transaction fees tend to use the least amount of energy.

not sure about specifics in training but I had quite a lot of fun reading regular c++ code with variables in english only to scroll and find pages of comments in foreign language like russian or japanese...

another fun with languages happens when coders for whatever reason insist on naming their variables using fusion of english and other language, such as "HornyWidget" (horny means upper in my language)
Active-Matrix LCD Panel History: Why American Companies Missed Out

Again, this might just be in my head, but the basic concept is that users create "capsules collections" that are a collection of clothes based on an occasion, where any item in the capsule could be swapped to create a new outfit, in the knowledge that each combination will match (to varying degrees). Then other users can like a combination, and it becomes clear which is the best outfit according to the community... I wanted to extend this later to allow users to search for capsules or outfits that contained items they have added to their wardrobe.

> Those losses aren’t equitably distributed, either: Nearly 2 million mortgages are underwater in the U.S., and they’re disproportionately concentrated in Black and Latino communities. Tenants in coastal cities, meanwhile, know the pain of forking over more and more rent every year, unable to save for a down payment and living at the mercy of sometimes unscrupulous landlords.

> The housing situation is only getting worse—more expensive, more inequitable, more precarious. As prices have continued their climb in the country’s most economically dynamic regions, it’s no longer feasible for working-class residents to seek out the best opportunities there. Instead, younger and lower-income residents are being pushed out to places where jobs are less plentiful and lucrative

> Largely as a consequence of housing prices, Generation X held less than half as much wealth in 2019 as Baby Boomers of the same age did two decades earlier, and Millennials are on course to hold even less.

I'm glad it worked out for you bud. Just remember there are 6,999,999,999 more people on this planet besides yourself.
Scrapie appears to have been the ultimate cause of a human CJD outbreak:

"...in 1996, with the recognition in young people in Britain of a “new variant” of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (nvCJD, or the Will-Ironside syndrome) that has since been traced with near certainty to the consumption of tissue from cattle infected with spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), they having in turn consumed meat and bone meal contaminated with rendered sheep carcasses infected with scrapie... There are currently just over 30 verified cases of nvCJD, and four to five new cases a year: whether they represent a small group of susceptible people or are the leading edge of a major epidemic is still moot."

Ryan Dahl has talked about why he chose Rust at various times. The original prototype was actually written in Go but was ported to Rust to avoid garbage-collection issues. The real reason for these languages over C++ was more about maintainability than type safety or speed. Ryan seems to be pretty happy with Rust so far which is a good sign but doesn't mean that there are direct benefits to users.
1000% this. Multiple times I’ve encountered a Julia benchmark claiming to show its superiority in a task I routinely perform. And every time the pro Julia benchmark turned out to be total BS.

The great thing about animation is that once you accept the cartoonish caricatures as real people, you get all of the special effects for free. You don't have that jarring disconnect between the actors and the (bad) special effects, and you don't need to husband your special effects budget carefully, saving it for a few big scenes. You can fill each frame with impossibilities that are just as real as the people filling them.

Why would the money have no oversight? It would have complete oversight.
In such markets, the bulk of the ROI is not the rent checks, but tax savings and appreciation of the underlying asset.

Real estate looks a lot like the stock market anymore. People value companies on metrics beyond simple revenue, profits, and dividends. With RE, investors understand that wage growth in a region flows into housing at a compounding rate due to leverage and are capitalizing on it.

So long as Seattle or LA have companies that pay above average wages to enough employees, housing prices in those regions should continue to grow at a a rate somewhat relative to differences in wages. What constitutes "enough employees" seems to be relative to how constrained housing growth is. In LA, housing prices are driven by probably the top 20-30% of earners.
If terrorists really wanted to disrupt civilization, then S.O. would be a prime target. I'm just the messenger, shore it up, you've been warned. I'd estimate it solves at least 1/3 of the glitches I encounter from day to day.

That being said, I can't stand their all-or-nothing moderating. Let low-rated messages exist, but be hidden by default, similar to Slashdot and Reddit.
Could you imagine a hiring a general contractor for your home renovation business with this sort of attitude? This person would be an instant liability. I can't imagine any instance where I would want them doing free work for me, bouncing from one half finished task to the next when it became boring for them.

Hell, I wouldn't even let them wander around my jobsite for free.

The entitlement in this profession is sometimes truly astounding.
The difference is that there were two people in the car, one of which was the driver (and owner) of the car.

But you are right to suggest that the police are themselves jumping to conclusions. Just because the accident happened in a tesla, doesn't mean that self-driving was somehow involved.

I don't disagree about that. I disagree about the necessity of assuming a third person, when the two present suffice to have caused the accident and when there is nothing to indicate that a third person was involved.

Finally, assuming a third person introduces a new question: who was it?

Do you know?
Private mainstream media in Canada takes a lot of direct subsidy money from government as well (famously, $600m a few years ago), and it's to the point where it's debatable whether news outlets are real businesses producing something people need or desire, or they're just a policy objective.

A real news business, one that publishes non-fiction content about current events that people want to read in exchange for subscriptions and advertiser dollars, is probably too fringe to be considered News at this point, because what most people really want is not what is officially approved as good for them. It's not official news unless it supports an establishment narrative, and somehow journalists and editors have come to believe they have official credentials unrelated to the truth and quality of their work that are deserving of some kind of recognition, and even deference.

I don't even see this question of whether the NYTimes and other publishers might be compromised by FB money and others as a point of contention. It's like everyone already knows, but they're wrestling with whether they can tell people themselves.

> As Doug Reynolds, the managing partner for the West Virginia newspapers suing Facebook and Google for damages, told me, “If the future of this industry is that we’re dependent on their goodwill, then we don’t have an independent press anymore.”

This is actually really great material. One of the things that I hate about the financial press is that they obfuscate this heavily with really bad journalism. They love to take Net Income, divide it by "widgets sold" (whatever that might be for a particular business), and proudly proclaim that this business is literally losing money on every sale!

That's not true, and an analysis of COGS data is the key that you need to understand the difference. It can be murky, just as this article makes clear, but there are often opportunities to find profitable businesses in this data. The more negative press during the "pre-profit" days, the better.

The corollary is that this can also find the really bad companies, like MoviePass.
I partly agree. But there's a long history of collecting moisture in the desert. For example:

>The most basic aspect of Western music theory overlooked here is the relationship between tonic and dominant. If you know the "home" chord aka "the I" aka "tonic" is C major, the dominant will be G major, aka the V chord. Add just the F major chord, and you'll know 1-4-5 in a "basic" key: C major. 1-4-5 is the simplest chord progression, you can play amazing grace, you are my sunshine, even The Beatles, you'll be rocking with 1-4-5.

Having learned music theory on a guitar rather than a piano, I learned this in a different order. C Major wasn't the focus at first. We started with Am Pentatonic and learned the common 1-4-5 progression and how to build chords and progressions out of that. Then added the rest of the notes of the Am scale in before finally going into root notes and relative scales and learning C major.

It's just my conjecture, but i think Am works better on guitars for learning because it's right in the middle of the guitar starting on fret 5 on the 6th string. Makes it easy, like you say, for someone to solo along with a 1-4-5 progression just by running up and down the scale. As long as you hit the right frets, it'll sound decent, you don't have to stretch too far, you get a nice clear view of the scale's 'pattern' on the frets. Plus, it's the relative minor of Cmajor meaning, you can still play along with someone just hammering white keys on a piano.

We also learned using a lot of blues music. There's a lot of easy variations you can do on a guitar in an Am blues key that can teach you all those fundamentals.

Modes were also worked in at the same time. This was probably not the best though, cause i really didn't get them at the time and only fairly recently sat down to study them and actually figure them out.
Nice.

Gotta love it when the moral busy bodies ignore the nuts and bolts details of their own system. How exactly do they think an image search works in the first place? You have to have the right pattern to search for.

The funny thing is that these organizations actually have legal carve-outs for CSAM, but the services they hit to search for CSAM don't. This was one of my gripes with the EARN IT Act lat year if I rcall correctly. If not that, I may need to go searching back through legislation referencing CSAM to find it again. I know at least the FBI, and I think a couple of orgs that help aggregate reporting of CSAM were mentioned.

I'd probably go down the route of posting log snippets including their User-Agent and a timestamp, plus the screenshots of the temp file in a directory listing plus a snippet of the email notice with regards to that particular file. There is no cure to poor behavior like being confronted with undeniable proof of the outcome of your own actions.

This kind of thing isn't a joke, and careless spamming of that sort of thing can take down services without super diligent Admins.

Given they seem so concerned. Perhaps they should negotiate a dedicated endpoint and get legal carve-outs for search providers to provide it.
There was a "bug" a few years back in Dell iDRAC that silently truncated the password. Took a number of support calls and ticket escalations to get them to recognize it and patch it. It occurred to me then that if Dell's enterprise team did it that it must be much more rampant than I've seen.
> An old credit union I was part of in NY (SEFCU) mandated passwords with exactly 6 characters. When I complained about this I was told it was secure because they forced one of the characters to be a symbol.

Woah that's so secure. What if you only had 2 characters; both symbols. I'm sure that is 2x as secure.
Exactly. I have two low-cost (Prusa) 3d printers going in my office lab right now. It wasn't until recently that technology, software, and infrastructure for filament and SLA supplies lined up to allow the current "explosion".

In the early days, Stratasys and others really did "invent" significant things in the classic sense of the word. We're not talking about "one click purchase" patents here. Allowing them exclusive use of their invention for a couple of decades didn't seem to hurt anyone.

As much as I liked the anime, I tend to put it into the "pseudo-profound bullshit" category. They drop in loads of philosophical concepts, fringe science, wild extrapolation, and a bit of conspiracies and paranormal. There is no way you can't make parallels with the real world.

If may sound harsh but it is not a bad thing. It creates an atmosphere, and it is thought provoking, as evidenced by the article. It is a work of fiction, and fiction is like magic, it is all fake, but we enjoy being tricked into it. And that is a perfectly good trick when well executed.

Maybe Lain overdid it a bit, but I enjoyed the show, and for me, it is the important part.
