Neat.

The main page advertises kapp with three features: "Lightweight", "Explicit", "Dependency-aware". I read quickly what these mean in kapp's context, and I realized it's more or less the same three things eventually all of us write our own logic for:

* label resources (app.kubernetes.io/part-of) that belong to the same "app"

* diff and then annotate with hashes of dependent secrets/configmaps so that if dependencies change, app is roll-updated

* order application of resources into stages and pre-/post- lifecycle hooks of those stages.

I already did this, in two projects, my last two jobs. Kapp seems to be something to evaluate for my next one.
It means that the framework makes certain choices and trade-offs, and doesn't allow the developer using it a choice in those matters.
>The pitch is clearly a lie, but I'm also not too worried about them counting commercial paper and t-bills as "cash."

The pitch being a lie is EXACTLY the problem. Tether is supposed to be nothing more than the gateway between crypto and the rest of the financial system. There is no reason for them to hold anything other than deposits at insured institutions. There is no reason for them to be making loans. There is no reason for them to be paying above market interest rates to holders,
That's really interesting to me, because in Spanish we have the exact same word, "azar", but from how I understand it it's just randomness (apparently according to the dictionary some of the other meanings have a negative take). We have the same expression too : "juegos de azar" for games of chance/gambling.

It's also quite close to the french equivalent : "hasard", which also means randomess and has similar usage, with "jeux de hasard".

In all cases it's an interesting fit with the Chatroulette reference.

Anyway, thanks for the insight !

The knowledge box can be 100% wrong, I reported a case where the shown answer was taken from a pop-quiz site - but it wasn't the actual answer, just the first possible (and diametrically wrong) of multiples choices for a user to click on.
Kotlin doesn't sound like a good language to bet on since most suitable(for jvm) features it has will be integrated by Java now that it has picked up pace.

I guess it only has decent marketshare because of google's android support(they are throwing stuff on the wall to move away from Oracle IP i guess) and Jetbrains being very popular among java devs.
Camouflage: A back end mocking tool for HTTP, gRPC and WebSockets protocols
By "threads" in MS teams, do you mean what they call a "conversation" in a normal channel? How do they not get used - people just 'start a new conversation' for every reply?

We get basically perfect usage of the conversation system at work (an engineering org), and so I've always thought that the MS implementation was the best. It has almost all of the organisation positives of Zulip threading without forcing you to name every single thread, and with none of the onboarding pain. We also have 'New Conversation' as a button as suggested by a sibling comment, so maybe that's the key.

I find it interesting that we both had fairly self-centred views on how much the conversation system was used. Don't forget that MS have the actual data!
Is it repeating itself because the corpus is too small? 10,000 papers seems like rather a small corpus. How large a training corpus would normally be used in GPT-2 work?

The first response will be to make laws to punish the perpetrators and to pass knee-jerk cybersecurity laws that create the illusion that something is being done.

The entire technology industry is built on a foundation of limited liability and has a tradition of being ok with defects (eh, it's a small bug). When do we get hardware that is guaranteed to perform and be safe, operating systems, languages and compliers that are safe? It's going to be very difficult to deal with liability in a strict sense. Who's at fault? The OS that had a bug, the library that made the syscall, the code that called the library, the script that ran the program, the network router that allowed the egress, or the user that pushed the button? (edit: fixed typo)

This isn't meant as a rejoinder, but I think you should ask random people what they feel about the difference between murder and declining to be a parent. I think you've been sitting thinking this to yourself without really debating anyone.

But they did. They said that digital currencies are difficult to trace and lead to an increase in ransomware. The closest thing to a response you made was "Progress comes with pitfalls".

That's exactly why it's excellent.

If the goals of future game development are pro-consumer and developer-centric like platform agnosticism (or, preventing artificial platform monopolies like, eg- GFWL) and simplifying development, then we're doing way better than good enough.

We've learned over the past decade that publishing Linux native games isn't as feasible or valuable because supporting them smothers smaller and independent developers in distro-specific bugs, robbing them of time and resources they could be putting towards developing content, spending time with family, or planning their next projects. There's no reason to publish natively as long as you can develop with Proton/SteamPlay in mind, and instead of every indie dev needing to fumble through learning Linux support, it shifts the burden to specialized developers (like Valve) who can more effectively contribute to Proton instead.

Linux native support is almost an anti-criteria for me today, because I'd much rather troubleshoot a known-working build with all the features enabled (eg- multiplayer works with other "Windows" versions) instead of a build that lags behind in updates and may never be more than a perpetual WIP. Proton and tools like DXVK and D3DVK that can be ported anywhere exist to circumvent that, and that's pretty amazing when you think about it.

As a Daoist, this is the important point.

"Not to value and employ men of superior ability is the way to keep the people from rivalry among themselves; not to prize articles which are difficult to procure is the way to keep them from becoming thieves; not to show them what is likely to excite their desires is the way to keep their minds from disorder. Therefore the sage, in the exercise of his government, empties their minds, fills their bellies, weakens their wills, and strengthens their bones. He constantly (tries to) keep them without knowledge and without desire, and where there are those who have knowledge, to keep them from presuming to act (on it). When there is this abstinence from action, good order is universal."

- Dao De Jing, Chapter 3, The Chinese Text Project

I feel we are at the end result of "keeping those who have knowledge from acting on it". Misinformation is spread by people with the knowledge of how to control people and they tell people they are smart and they need to act.

I do not agree with Fauci's decision, but there was no other choice.

Look at what happened with the gas panic this week, it is the same thing was written about here:

https://songofthedao.substack.com/p/panic-at-the-gas-station
> In defense of Dr. Fauci's statement, saying "there is no reason right now to wear a mask" is quite different from "masks are ineffective"

If masks are effective, that would be a compelling reason for someone to wear a mask. Saying there is no reason to wear a mask, strongly implies that they aren't beneficial to the individual wearing them. Fauci must have known that this is how people would have interpreted his statements. He should have said "there are very compelling reasons not to wear a mask", which is very different from "there is no reason to wear a mask".

I understand that Fauci had good intentions behind his statement. But it's very hard to regain trust after making misleading statements like the above.
36.3% are fully vaccinated. It is great progress. But it is not a majority.
I'm using a tiling window manager and it's very hard to miss: each attempt opens a new window that resizes the browser and takes up half the screen.

On the other hand, I guess they could automatically measure the window size in the popups and use this to detect tiling window managers, which gives them another (albeit noisy) bit for fingerprinting...
Perfectly fine to travel to the UK as a tourist. Just don’t tell the border agent you’re coming to look for work without having an interview lined up for a job that would actually entitle you for a work visa.

It wasn't completely under the radar though. Doctors in China were thinking it was a "mere" SARS outbreak, which was fairly close to correct. However concern about public health was not the top priority of the govt.
True, but you can still spend them at the grocery store.

Synthing Lite provides Android with a remote Folder implementation that syncs on demand, and is very useful for things like password files (KeePass).

Unfortunately, it is not maintained, even if it works and I use it daily.
To be honest, at this point I'm in favour of attacks on all health services all the time, to drive home the point that acceptable long-term data protection in this kind of infrastructure doesn't exist and that all data will be stolen at some point, before everything is collected everywhere.

The less data is actually leaked and sold the better, of course, but societies and especially politicians don't seem to learn that easily.
I believe, in your analogy Tether _is_ the central bank. They don’t need a fall back, they print the money.
Mattermost isn't bad but not good either. I'd switch to anything else if it provides user friendlier interface but currently all the other open source alternatives provide even worse interface.
Cars are commonly engineered to be driven for 8000h which corresponds to 15 years lifetime. Different story for commercial vehicles of course.

Fun fact: cars are commonly designed to be operated for 8h in reverse gear over lifetime.

Another fun fact: Electric drills are used for an _average_ of 8 minutes over their lifetime.
If you would like to help with an alternative I plan to add syncing as a new feature to my networked file system application soon. The application is already cross OS and feature a familiar GUI and fully recursive directory hashing with ignore lists (ignore lists are only available using terminal commands at this time).

It seems like synchronization is the next logic step and I could really use feedback and testing from interested users. The application is available at https://github.com/prettydiff/share-file-systems

I would love for syncing to occur upon changes in real time as opposed to timed intervals like a cron job.

The ACX system is a mixed bag even without the scams. Sure, you get audiobooks that might not have been produced otherwise but the quality is noticeably lower than professional narration, particularly the editing. Mispronunciations, double takes, and coughing tends to show up. Before I learned ACX existed I was getting worried that Audible's quality had taken a serious dive.
Spanish (ultimately Arabic) is where the name did come from. Source: I worked at Hyperconnect and heard it from the founder who picked this name.
That's an interesting question. Firstly, we can note that there are no Turing machines for computing uncomputable numbers in the temporal world, either. There are Turing machines which will not halt (and therefore not compute any number), and their graphs will either form cycles or extend indefinitely like the number line itself, but in neither case will these graphs contain a reachable halt state.

(Having said that, I cannot wrap my mind around Babour's concept of an atemporal universe, either.)

looking at the all time contributors, it further solidified my belief that a team of 2 to 3 solid engineers can almost take on any project that comes their way.

Any delivered food, be that take-out, or food-in-a-box subscription services, or services that shop for you, even if provided by the chain itself - are very expensive in my experience, compared to typical super-market food. When I usually hear food deserts being discussed - it is usually in the context of how it affects low income areas and population. And any services that charge extra for convenience and that on top of the price of food itself - are likely not a solution that will address the needs of the poor - “why don’t they just have it delivered?” is a bit “let them eat cake”-ish.

Doing that without the ability to quantify the affect is also a nonstarter. How would you know it's even making an appreciable difference, or if a lower factor would perform just as well?

Without the groundwork theory to rely on, you'd be hard pressed to convince new buildings to do something like that on a whim.

It adds up to something comparable to bringing up atrocities apt? I don’t see how. It’s not like the inconvenience of wearing a mask done billions of times leads to overall a massive inconvenience that becomes intolerable. This type of inconvenience is not additive. There is no compounding effect.
This needs empirical evidence though. It’s a just-so story without that. Not that I disagree with the prior.
Interesting, I never realised that non US/ANSI keyboards are all ISO. I was under the impression that you needed something customer for at least a large number of countries.

I don’t believe they have an ISO keyboard. Others have previously complained about the same issue on their laptops.

To be fair, I don’t think I’d order from a US company and get a single keyboard shipped half way around the world on the ground of environmental concerns alone. I feel bad enough that Apple shipped my last laptop from Korea to Europe.

1. It can only be an act of war if it was done by a nation state. Even though the US likes to declare war on abstract concepts like "drugs" and "crime", that is not how it works in international law.

2. Terrorism has similarly precise definitions, usually along the lines of "the act has to be in pursuit of political aims". Just because its a big and important target does not make it political, ransomware is an economic crime.
I don't think the paradigm needs to change, I think the UI does (although I'm admittedly not clear what should be different).

To me the proof that the paradigm is good and it's a 'just' a UI problem is MS Teams. Teams has basically the same thread system - every message in a Teams channel is in a 'conversation'. When a whole org adopts Teams sometimes it takes some people a little time to learn not to create a conversation for every reply (my partner's company is non-technical and had this for a couple of people) but once you're going the system is clear to a new joiner. At my company (an engineering org) the thread system is universally used, works extremely well, and I've never encountered anyone who wasn't clear how it worked.

The big difference is that in Teams you don't have to name your 'conversation'. You can optionally give it a title if you want, but it's not necessary and that "what do I call it" step was always a bit of a mental speedbump in Zulip for my team.

Droplet is the "popular" middle ground. Contact is completely overshadowed by both types of air travel unless air travel is either completely out of the picture (non-respiratory viruses like various herpes) or if the virus particles excel at durability outside the body (e.g. the rhinovirus family, whereas being bad at this is an outcome of the defining property of corona viruses, they are short-"lived" almost by definition).

And droplet basically translates to: "yes, masks would help, but simply keeping a few feet of distance will be just as good". Unfortunately, distance does to aerosol transmission what soda cans do to a wildfire.
Least surprising thing ever.
