Time Cube, but for sound!

I know next to nothing about music theory, but this felt like an abstruse statement of the bleeding obvious up until the section "What Tuning Really Is: Subsets of the HarmoniComb", which was interesting. I have no idea if it's accurate.

Incidentally, the author seems to use some strange 'İ' character (a capital I with a dot over it) a lot. I'm not sure why.
The cost of housing is mainly in the cost of renting the land from a landowner (or the cost of paying the mortgage having bought the land). That is linked to the amount people can spend.

If other things increase in price, people have less money to spend on housing, rents go down, which leads to house prices going down.
I thought one of the really important rules of using format strings was that you never let user input itself enter the format string, e.g. you'd never (shellscript examples) go printf "$input" versus printf "%s" "$input". But security experts are shrugging this off? This is a basic bug that went into production on an OS that millions of people use - any lack of care should be a reputation hit.
Beautiful visuals. Ever since the pythagoreans there is a mystical fascination with harmonic ratios and harmonic perception but after reading Philip Ball's "music instinct" I am not sure its justified. I don't know if there is something more updated since 2010 (for non-brain neurologists)
Well, allergies are almost always "something you tolerated most of your life (until then)" ... in my understanding you're not born with immune-intolerance to something (although you are most certainly born with a disposition or lack thereof), and not always is the manifestation of an allergy your system's first encounter with that specific protein - it is simply chance.

E.g. the possibly most prevalent allergies, against pollen, manifest well after kindergarten, or even in teenagers. Until then the system did not care at all about pollen. The reason must be something entirely unrelated to pollen. And there are more and more cases of people developing pollen allergies well after age 50! (But: often you will find other allergies or "pre-symptoms" in kids, e.g. neurodermatitis or milk-protein allergies).

In fact you always develop the allergy on exposure AFAIK - it just might be the first exposure. But the reason is most often completely unrelated to this specific substance/protein.

There are even several known substances that are known to cause allergies to develop on exposure (with high probability). But what you become allergic to is pure chance, e.g. could be the nickel-plated jewelry on your skin which you never had a problem with until then.
Google has the same problems Microsoft has always had. They have one huge cash cow that funds the entire company, and everything else is peripheral (a first world problem of course). Arguably MS now has more than one, but they've existed twice as long as Google and it's taken many decades to get to that point.

It never really mattered if PlayForSure, Zune, Bing, Windows Phone etc were big successes or not, the company was absolutely fine anyway. XBOX is a success, but the massive billon+ write off they suffered back in the day means even now overall it's probably not made a profit, and if so not much. IE has floundered for over a decade. They do have many successful products but most of them could die and it wouldn't matter.

It's the same with Google. As long as they're awash in a torrent of search advertising money nothing else matters. Like Micorosoft they do have some successful non-core products. Chrome, Android, GMail, Google Docs, Chromebooks. However all of those could drop stone dead and they'd be A-Okay.

This is why Amazon is so impressive to me. Bezos built two world class mega-businsses simultaneously from scratch. I can't think of a single other example of this anywhere.

> And if I create a new branch locally, why must I specify what name I'd use for it on the remote? Why would I like an other name I wonder? It's fantastic that it can do this, but the default should be the branch name I'm using and that's that.

You can fix this by doing `git config --global push.default current`.
Multiple copies of a smaller file are still susceptible to bit rot. In fact, RAW is still more resistant because it can still be read even if multiple sectors corrupt, while many small files might each individually be toast.

(And btw, parity doesn't protect you from bitrot forever, only for like a decade or two)
These are one of the few times I can say that I don't care if Boston Dynamics are making money as yet.

Boston Dynamics are one of the few real serious players in the robotics space worldwide doing deep R&D.

Hyundai are basically paying for the BD Labs research. And they are well positioned to reap the products and techniques from the lab with their own manufacturing and engineering prowess and experience over the next decade.

And it won't be walking dogs.

It will be things like a little flexi-joint in a car that you buy without knowing (or caring) it's in there. Or some industrial machine that Hyundai builds that gives them a 5% competitive edge in the manufacturing of it that 99.9999% of us never hear about.

But for that it's worth it.

Very happy to see people put good money into this Lab.
But what's the situation for most people? Many people's personal messaging eco-system looks like this:

- Out of use: AIM
- Out of use: IRQ
- Out of use: IRC
- Insert your old messanger: here
- Privacy nerds: Signal
- Feature fans: Telegram
- Lonely people: Tinder
- Parents-Generation: WhatsApp / FaceBook / deprecated
- Brick phones (the real privacy nerds): SMS or E-Mail
- Ahead of time people: delta.chat
- Grandparents: E-Mail

Is this any better?

Let's have a different take on this: This company likes to experiment and innovate. :) Glad that this is still possible.

Having said that: Probably naming the messengers in a different manner could receive an overhaul to confuse less people. And: Wouldn't route my chat traffic neither over Apple, Google or any other FAANG+.
And it would constantly apply updates and reboot without a prompt.
Thank you, granshaw. Yours inputs have made things a little more clear for me.
> They didn't. Nobody cares. And that has to be the end of that argument.

Nice. Glad others didn’t think this way too or we’d have no ozone layer anymore, lead in gasoline and paint, and no building codes.
> Why did I bother paying rent then?

Because the state was under no legal obligation to do this, and even perceiving the problem and having a government that wanted to solve it, is unlikely to have done so (or even have beem able to do so, given Constitutional balanced budget rules) if it hadn't ended up with an enormous unexpected budget surplus to throw at it, so acting based on the assumption that it would do so if you had the capacity to pay rent would be an unacceptable risk of eviction once the emergency moratorium ended, which it was certainly going to at some point.
The issue is that sepsis is very poorly defined, difficult to distinguish from other conditions, and very serious if missed. This means that I get automated alerts for patients all day querying sepsis, but probably only 5% (maybe fewer) have any signs of infection clinically. This reflects clinical practice where we overtreat initially and then row back treatment if things improve.

I can go for a run on a hot day- I'll be pyrexic, tachypnoeic, and tachycardic- enough to trigger a sepsis alert. Whereas an elderly patient who is a bit more confused than normal may have a very severe raging infection with few changes in their markers.
I was thinking of something like that : https://donpedrobrooklyn.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/oute...

I do. I don't own a smartphone though.
An easy modification to enable quantum safety first appeared in tinyssh, using one of the DJB NTRU Prime algorithms.

OpenSSH quietly adopted the tinyssh approach as an experimental feature. Some time later, after interaction with DJB, the OpenSSH algorithm for NTRU was changed, and tinyssh followed suit.

If you want quantum-secure Ed25519, then enable sntrup761x25519 on a supported client and server.

Apple's little-known third co-founder sold his 10% stake for $800
Thank you, MattyMc, appreciate your offer. I will take you up on it soon. :)
Interesting, but it seems that in order to make it work, I have to know about various different types of "bridges", "plumbing", and whatnot. So, really, quite different from the simplicity of calling someone on a different phone network. Or at least the descriptions on the website make it seem that way. As someone rather busy that cannot spend a few hours configuring I'm not even going to download it...
Perhaps the trains could partly be passenger trains, costing amusemant park rates.

Then collected money could eventually pay off the cost of construction, and eventually maybe even offset the maintenance cost.

If nothing else, it would certainly boast the advantage of being more fun than water storage.
> Your working directory is just like any other place on your filesystem. You can lose stuff if you do the wrong thing.

Which means git is failing to do its whole job: keep the history of my work safe. I'd argue that git actually makes data on your filesystem less safe, because it pointlessly write-protects files in the .git directory, which encourages a bad habit of using rm -rf.
The very best thing about SMS is that it will work even in places where the signal is so bad you can't make a phone call.
The high cost components of a robot like this are: Actuators, motor drivers, batteries, compute, sensors, and mechanical components.

I did not reference SPOTs specs but it must be full of low volume custom parts (expensive). They are honestly probably selling them at little to no profit as $70k is about how much a low volume custom research robot might cost in parts. But I could see them getting SPOT down to $20k in parts, but then you still need to do assembly which is going to be very hands on with technicians doing assembly and test engineers checking components. And one could imagine they'd like it if they could manage some profit. IDK it all adds up robots are super expensive.
Thank you everyone for your comments. These have been very very helpful and I think I have a better idea of what I should do. Appreciate you taking the time and helping me out!
I only say this half-seriously, but that's why I sometimes think that part of any performance test should be "try to run your software on a Pentium 4". If it's unusable, go back and optimize some more.

But it won't work now, because the whole stack is probably too inefficient.
Don't those amendments apply to individuals and not businesses?

Also, the state already entered the game when evictions were suspended. If the choice from your lender as a landlord is bankruptcy or having your mortgage term extended by 18 months, with an 18 month interest-free payment holiday now, if you have hard-up tenants, what would you choose?
Is there anything you can say about Spark for Data Engineering (/ETL) ?

The most common reason for spark use today is ETL+DataLakes (ie., cloud object stores and ETL in/out).

It seems actual analysis is happening in fast databases that receive data from the object stores.

can anyone here comment on this paradigm?
I used InSpectre to disable meltdown/spectre mitigations on my 2600k. Nothing important was stored on it, it was used purely for gaming. It had a significant effect. I would hold my 144 fps cap in some titles but with mitigations on it would fall below frequently.

All these products have improved incrementally, adding new features in an unobtrusive way. Which is from my perspective as a user how it should be done. I was just yesterday building spreadsheets and charting from hundreds of thousands of rows of data, something you couldn't do with sheets a few years ago, it just crumbled under the load. Usually when I look up a way to do something, Sheets and Excel are feature parity. That's a pretty big accomplishment. And I respect that they've kept the interface pretty consistent over the years in all these products, unlike in some others where I get constantly frustrated with superfluous changes or deprecations (I was a heavy Google Play Music user, sigh)

Disclaimer: Work for Google, but not on these products or anything user facing.
I also have no idea how to do on Windows but disabling those mitigations along with other unnecessary Windows 10 stuff can be done through Chris Titus' debloat program: https://christitus.com/debloat-windows-10/
I always imagined this for a honeypot, an SSH server that accepts any and all! root/password? You bet!
Is there anything you can say here about why you're running this query in spark?

Supposing spark is your ETL machinery... would it not make more sense to ETL this into a database?
> it wouldn't make economical sense in have a fleet large enough to handle peak hours

Supply and demand with dynamic pricing will sort that out.

Consider also that autonomous vehicles could make much more efficient use of existing road capacity.

> If we didn't have all these specific needs, most of us could just take the bus

Buses do not take you directly to your preferred location, without stopping, with your own private space, etc.
I get your point, but (also with a harsh perspective) the point isn't really to create engineers and doctors from the downtrodden.

The point is that even if you get those kids even 10% of the way of others, that might be what buys you one less person between bars. Or suffering from substance abuse. Or fueling Ponzi schemes, MLM or cults as a victim. Or living in the streets. Or voting irrationally for the next populist policy maker (in any part of the political spectrum, not being political here).

The moment you renounce to killing all of those who misbehave, you have to accept that these people are going to be your neighbors for the foreseeable future, and so it really pays to take care of the problem as early as possible, because frankly, you'll be spending resources either way.
Pro Code vs. Low Code
The pandemic has made it very clear that "accept some minor inconvenience or somebody you've never met is added to the death statistics" is a very appealing position. Only by giving the affected people a voice and real political power can it really be averted.
Using Elsa Workflow with ABP Framework
Please note that the spec is ahead of the implementation, and the project has been stale for 4 months. For spec and implementation to stay in sync, they'd have to be in the same repo I guess. For now, the spec is driving and the implementation catching up with it.

The legibility of American supreme court rulings is really wonderful and a US national treasure - the democratic value of having judgements be scrutable to citizens probably shouldn't be underestimated. Scalia was in particular an amazing stylist. I remember deciding to check out supreme court proceedings for the UK and finding them absolutely impenetrable in comparison. I wonder if countries with very different legal systems (e.g. France, which doesn't have such an emphasis on common law / legal precedent to my understanding) have more readable/accessible-to-non-professionals judgements/proceedings still.
When API keys are involved, I need a lot more confidence in the security of the software than what I am seeing so far.

I'm willing to trust Datadog for configuring their own services, but the community providers scare me from a security perspective. What I can see from the early uploads are community providers accessing secrets manager to fetch API keys. What happens when a provider requests permissions for all secrets? How well will the UI surface broad permission grants? What if providers bake in "telemetry" to spy on me ?

Not in my experience. I don't know how you're curating your subscriptions, but I stumble across good quality content all the time.
Sumatra is my favorite PDF viewer on Windows. The fact that it can display all these other formats as well is a nice bonus.

It's much more lightweight and unobtrusive than Adobe's Reader or Foxit, both in terms of resources and UI. Also, it can run without installing it, so one does not need any special privileges to use it.

Last but not least, it remembers the position in a document across opening/closing it.
Are you actually from South Korea to be able to comment on what the South Korean perception on their neighborhood is? Like, this is a no offense intended genuine question.

Because from an outside perspective the neighborhood really looks challenging. China is growing stronger and throws muscle around a lot with diplomatic rows ensuing even over traditional ways of cabbage preparation. Relationships with Japan are cordial at best due to WWII legacy. North Korea seems to be a pretty big liability.
On some linux distributions [0] microcode is loaded early during kernel boot. So it's a matter of pinning the package to a previous version. No idea what happens with BIOS/UEFI updates though, although you can roll these back too. Obviously the "proper" way here is to have open source microcode but I can't see that happening anytime soon.

Some (a lot?) of people, especially today, have the patience to wait 6/12/18 months to obtain at a deep discount or even for free something that they *may* need to buy.

I have a vacuum cleaner that isn't very good and is likely to fail in the future, at some point I will need to replace it. I won't buy one today for full price, but when it does fail I will have to. If I could get a replacement today for 0-50% of the price new I would jump at the chance, but I'd be a lost sale.
Patent Trolling’s twin: Copyright trolling
Robots that build cars seem most likely? Not sure how many staff your average car factory has, but due to sheer product complexity it's still more than other industries like food manufacturing.

Maybe we'll see vast car factories, churning out thousands of cars per day, with only a half dozen staff in years to come?
>Spark is still the best for stream processing use cases

No, Flink is much better.
+1 for DAVx⁵. It was free on F-Droid, but I've paid for it anyway because I want to support the developer (and also I think it's a nice touch making it free on F-Droid but charging on commercial app stores).
Anonymous free communication platform tools with a potential audience in the millions combined with sophisticated bot trolling algos have resulted in disaster.

I'm guilty of hounding politicians on Twitter in an attempt to reform the US Democratic party and need to get a healthier attitude. I think it's the combination of sheer frustration and the ability to react to the latest bureaucratic idiocy via the keyboards that are on my body far too much of my life...That and the meteoric drop in standards and credibility of the old media despite corporate TV's crushing and inexplicable hold over people as a credible 'news' source.
Cute but pkInterpretSource() doesn't have any throttling, like the amount of instructions/nodes to execute before suspending, this would be very useful in games. You could limit NPC's ai to 50 instructions or so so that it doesn't cause rendering lag and the ai script would be run in multiple frames until it finishes.

The amount of artefacts should be substantially reduced in JPEG XL in the next round of comparisons.

Last week I submitted the 'ac strategy decision tree traversal' change to libjxl, which reduces ringing artefacts substantially, often by 60-70 %. It does a diligent job by choosing the best combination of small integral transforms (there are 10 different 8x8 transforms) instead of just satisfying with a large transform.

This change also improves on image quality, sharpness and truthfulness, it doesn't just blur the artefacts away.
The nice thing about those standards is that you can choose which one you want to use.

Triangle count in models were just never a thing I remember seeing.

At the same time, though, we had nothing to compare to. It was perfectly normal that the legs move the same way when you ran forward as when you ran sideways.

So it's not just "what did we see then with eyes from 2021?", but "what did we see then with eyes from 1996?".
> If your goal is to move the us to post scarcity world you have to come up with unlimited free and (relatively) clean power source.

Not a problem. Nuclear fusion. And before someone goes off on a tangent about, "It's only 10 years away for the past 60 years", that's because The Powers That Be won't give it - and by extension, pure science - the funding it needs to happen. The Defense Department budget increases by $80,000,000,000 for the 2021 Federal Budget. No one batted an eye. I guarantee you, if you throw $80 billion at fusion for 60 years, humanity will solve it. The pathetic $5 billion here and $2 billion there won't cut it. You have to sink real money into it.

> After that someone needs to figure out how to turn that unlimited energy into mass.

Funding. Once fusion is solved, throw $80 billion at this problem every year. See above.

> Then someone needs to figure out how to 3D print things atom-by-atom using the previous technology.

Funding. See above.

> After that money loses all meaning and there is no longer income inequality.

After that, we become a reputation-based economy, like Star Trek. It's about what you've done, not how much you have.

None of this will happen until we stop allowing single individuals to hoard enormous amounts of wealth that could never possibly be spent in their lifetimes.

TL;DR Author is just riding on the hype with contrarian opinion. What sucks is that nowadays most sites won't load without JS. I notice because I use NoScript.

But! If you have done any desktop GUI development, you know that React is way closer to it than the old ways of composing web pages. If it is possible to render React, or anything that resembles desktop GUI frameworks, on server, then what exactly are you complaining about? Is the spaghetting with separate HTML, CSS, and JS glue really anything worth applauding?
