MRIs are big electromagnets and they use big power and produce big heat. In space you have no convection so you must radiate away all of your heat which is challenging. Maybe you can make something better with superconductors that doesn't use much power, but I don't think it exists yet.
Urgent care won't take anything outside of a minor scrape

Expanded version of the quote in one of the comments:

> Our enormously productive economy demands that we make consumption our way of life, that we convert the buying and use of goods into rituals, that we seek our spiritual satisfactions, our ego satisfactions, in consumption. The measure of social status, of social acceptance, of prestige, is now to be found in our consumptive patterns. The very meaning and significance of our lives today expressed in consumptive terms. The greater the pressures upon the individual to conform to safe and accepted social standards, the more does he tend to express his aspirations and his individuality in terms of what he wears, drives, eats- his home, his car, his pattern of food serving, his hobbies.

> These commodities and services must be offered to the consumer with a special urgency. We require not only “forced draft” consumption, but “expensive” consumption as well. We need things consumed, burned up, worn out, replaced, and discarded at an ever increasing pace. We need to have people eat, drink, dress, ride, live, with ever more complicated and, therefore, constantly more expensive consumption.

Youtube/Google and other big companies sociopathy is unraveling. By suppressing important information on COVID treatments, they are likely causing prolonged pandemic, increased harm to health of people and deaths.

Employees of Google, do you really want to be part of this?
They just dumped RCE into an open source project.

Audacity is dead. Hopefully the devs move to one of the forks and it has a good name.
There are dozens of reasons. Free markets have deduplication of labour, concepts like patents and IP that are inefficient are necessary, there are economic crises that wreck compound growth in the long term, there are issues of inequality, humans may be lazy and not attempt to allocate their capital in the most appropriate way (see index funds), socially useful endeavors may not be profitable, etc...

But central planning is insanely hard, so it's not easy.

That said, the USSR which literally used pen and paper for planning was the #2 economy in the world, so it clearly has some potential.

Now there can be other reasons to not want planning.

> Wait I thought outlier weather events like blizzards and heat waves weren't indicators of global climate as the media so likes to lecture about when it's not in favor of their narrative.

It's probably fair to hold two ideas at the same time.

. Climate change is a way to accumulate rank and wealth in society.

. Climate change is real

It's interesting to ask what everyone is really after in terms of climate. Lack of change or natural events occurring. Would an upcoming ice age result in a cry for more CO2?

I like to think of it in terms of carrying capacity. Too many people results in environmental degradation (of all sorts), social unrest, scrabbling at the bottom for wages, squabbling at the top for status.

It's just not very fullfiling to become an icon after you die, or after another company steals your idea or whatever.

We are social beings, we want some amount of payoff weather in be cultural, social or monetary capital.

Lots of brilliant people lived horrible lives, lots of extremely mediocre but well connected people lived happily making bank prototypes made in the shadows - and that's just how it is - but i get the gist of what OP is saying.

Off course the perspective that you built something "for the Zen of it" is important, but i increasingly think it's a perspective pushed mostly to benefit the beneficiaries at the absolute top - no one want's to do stuff "for free" though the pay may be of personal value, altruistic etc.
If a system is critical it should run on multiple machines in multiple locations and "sync with checks" kinda like the oh so hated and totally useless blockchains.

Then if such a bit-flip would occur it would never occur on all machines at the same time in the same data.
And on top of that you could easy make the system fix itself if something like that happens (simply assume the majority of nodes didn't have the bit-flip) or in worst case scenario it could at least stop rather than making "wrong progress"

I have no clue what this particular log need for "throughput specs" but I assume it would be easily achievable with current DLT.
This is the gist of it. I do not agree with OSI definition of open source but I won't argue about it here.

There are many OSI approved licenses with restrictions on use, like "your software must also be open source" or "contribute back your changes" or "give me attribution"...
This is just learned helplessness because Intel were stingy as shit for over a decade and wanted to segregate their product lines. Error correction is literally prevalent in every single part of every PHY layer in a modern stack, it is an absolute must, and the lack of error correction in RAM is, without question, a ridiculous gap that should have never been allowed in the first place in any modern machine, especially given that density and bandwidth keeps increasing and will continue to do so.

When you are designing these systems, you have two options: you either use error correcting codes and increase channel bandwidth to compensate for them (as a result of injected noise, which is unavoidable), or you lower the transfer rate so much as to be infeasible to use, while also avoiding as much noise as you can. Guess what's happening to RAM? It isn't getting slower or less dense. The error rate is only going to increase. The people designing this stuff aren't idiots. That's why literally every other layer of your system builds in error correction. Software people do not understand this because they prefer to believe in magic due to the fact all of these abstractions result in stable systems, I guess.

All of the talk of hardware flip flops and all that shit is an irrelevant deflection. Doesn't matter. It's just water carrying and post-hoc justification because, again, Intel decided that consumers didn't actually need it a decade ago, and everyone followed suit. They've been proven wrong repeatedly.

Complex systems are built to resist failure. They wouldn't work otherwise. By definition, if a failure occurs, it's because it passed multiple safeguards that were already in place. Basic systems theory. Let's actually try building more safeguards instead of rationalizing their absence.

Yes, because of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moral_rights_(copyright_law):

> The moral rights include the right of attribution, the right to have a work published anonymously or pseudonymously, and the right to the integrity of the work

Attribution and integrity are guaranteed by Git's committer and hash fields, so it's just complying with the law here. If the artist wants to publish anymously or psuedonymounsly they can do so by choosing the committer name and e-mail appropriately, but to suggest that git is somehow violating the GDPR here is a stretch.
This is a great way to say "blockchain" without getting guaranteed down votes ;)

Ginsburg liked to go down to South America to molest little boys, he wrote about it prolifically (see "The Yucatan Letters"). He also was on friendly terms with NAMBLA. Everything about him lines up to be another fraudulent, meaningless, toxic relic from the baby boomer era that's full of nothing but bad ideas that should be forgotten. Add him to the pile with Focault and Jimmy Savile. While acting the role of a cultural renegade, a philosophical liberator, or a general "cool guy," Ginsberg was working his entire life to artlessly further the cause of statutory rape of children, he used his words to validate his violent sexuality and to attempt to soften society's viewpoint on non-consensual sexual relations with children under 15. It's a shame he didn't end up in the hands of the parents of one of the young children he broke with his own body for the sheer purpose of feeding his appetite for non-consensual forced sodomy and domination over a child. I get so upset whenever this pile of shit gets put on a pedestal, when he really should have his works burned, his face carved out of history, and his name erased. Fuck Allan Ginsberg, fuck pedophiles, and fuck everyone who stands by this guy.
> But when you are done, there might be snippets from 100s of different repositories potentially.

Potentially, but not necessarily. It's possible also that if there is only one close match for the logic required, it may produce verbatim something it's already seen. GPT is known to do this for sufficiently precise inputs.
They don't. They do it again. If they never agree then Houston has a real problem.
I deleted my GitHub almost a year ago, for reasons (see later).

Apparently this doesn't prevent them publishing things in the Code Vault, or via this; that I might have wished to remove from their custody.

User agreements that amount to "you agree to be used," I guess.

If whatever stalker that I offended becomes unhappy that they might not have gotten my code off the net completely, are they gonna blame GitHub for it, or continue to try getting others to take actions against me? If some court sided with them and decided I had liability for publishing that code; would GitHub's possible resurrection of it be their responsibility, or mine?

EDIT: previously stated "after they offered me the option to do that or adopt a Code of Conduct on a single contributor project of mine."

Perhaps I'm wrong about the source of that; but I did delete my account and expected that they would no longer publish my code as such; others had forked things and that was as expected.

This, so much this. Same boat here (for long-ish values of "recent").

I can only second all of what you've said. Rebasing and squashing really aren't that hard. If you ask me, selecting who you want to work with simply based on whether they can be taught to rebase and squash is a really good filter. If someone can't manage that, it is very very likely that you won't be happy to talk to them about small commits (easy to PR), good code hygiene and maintainable code, continuous deployments throughout the day (yes, OMG, you have to keep master green at all time, you have to follow up etc.) and a bunch of other things. That's fine by me, but I'd prefer not to work for the same small company as them or at least a few departments away in a larger one.

All of these practices have so many advantages but many people don't or don't want to understand. You can generally teach this to people but it does need everyone to understand and pull on the same string. You can't have a bunch of people in a such a system that just never check the master build after merging.
These numbers don't seem to be correct. I have around 5 years experience, living in Munich, immigrant, and I earn around 95K (USD). There is no indication that my salary is significantly above average amongst software developers with similar experience. Not a FAANG company, and I earned this money both at a startup and both at an established German company.

Major advances have been killed because of death aversion e.g
The space shuttle.
There was a human error and had they double/triple checked it would have been avoided. Anyway the human life cost is hypocrisy, with the budget they have and considering the gigantic number of avoidable deaths on earth through money they could have gotten a net life ratio by divesting e.g 0.1% of their budget, it's all inept media politics.
In consequence, many things that were possible are no longer.
About supersonic airflight, the Concorde was sabotaged, it was again much more safe than e.g driving a car and it was sabotaged economically by making illegal all air route except the transatlantic one. I'm unconvinced the bang from going beyond the speed of sound is that much of an issue, and they could done it higher in the air if needed? Anyway there are many technologies nowadays that reduce this noise, unfortunately the time to market and legal inept inertia will make us wait for another number of decades until this majorly useful technology come back.
About maglevs and void tunnels trains I don't know why it doesn't pan out, must be too expensive, probably.

I find it great that they're using Blender, but

3-6 months between releases? I get that it's a licensing issue - France Television probably knows more people will watch it on Netflix than on their own network - but this is just asking for piracy.

"Current linguistics makes a distinction between proper nouns and proper names but this distinction is not universally observed and sometimes it is observed but not rigorously."

Unbelievable how dense people play sometimes. It was clear what I meant when I said word, and in fact, I did refer to a single word if you want to play that game: Mandelbrot.

"Maldebrot set" or whatever it said before wouldn't even give you the correct search results. It serves a purpose to correct this, whereas this is just grammatical bickering for no apparent reason other than "he started it". I pointed out an important mistake, you're just trying to find substance in an argument that holds as much water as a sieve.
Alternatively, I used zenstates and played around with VID values on different p-states (or is it c-states? I can't remember) which allowed my cores to go from ~400Mhz and then speed up as necessary.

There's info scattered around on the internet for how to do this; I don't have my script to do this easily accessible atm.

I do concur on the governor's though, nothing else really makes much of a different. My old HP laptop I permanently had on the powersave scheder and it would draw about 2.5W - the battery life was stupidly ridiculous. My new AMD Lenovo I can't even get below 6W by the same method unfortunately.

>graduates from the Universities of Toronto, British Columbia and Waterloo in 2015 and 2016 revealed 66 per cent of software engineering and 30 per cent of computer science students were leaving Canada for work after graduation.

https://beta.ctvnews.ca/national/business/2021/5/21/1_543849...

I wonder how accurate the quoted average salaries are for Canada though. The high end is what a junior developer with no work history can expect after graduating. Senior developers here regularly make 100k+.
The poster isn’t wrong. An entire chain shouldn’t die because of a memory error in one node.
Really depends who you ask and where they live.

Home sizes in Paris haven’t changed much over the past 50 years.

Yet, prices have exploded. Heck, they’ve skyrocketed. For the exact same thing. Only a bit older.

New apartments, no bigger but built in the suburbs, far from the subway (and not close to the regional trains) cost the same as the old ones of the same size did in Paris 10 years ago (and they were already priced crazily).

With the same numbers of bathrooms but no job that could enable one to afford such a place less than 45 minutes away.

The 2.000sqft 3 bathrooms home with a lawn appears to be a very American thing.
Or perhaps they simply latch onto metrics that lend themselves well to confirmation bias.

And the more scary and unpredictable this all seems, the more political will is generated for unbridled and unquestioned spending.

I believe something quite similar to this happened about ~20 years ago: Scared populace, constantly shifting threats/objectives, incredible amounts of money unproductively spent chasing shadows.
The anti-American scree at the end here is hilariously inaccurate. The "inequality" has a kernel of truth- but that's why having a high salary in the US is amazing.

I'm an average developer at an unglamorous company you've never heard of. I have unlimited vacation and lots of company holidays. Parental leave is full pay for 5 or 6 months, my monthly healthcare costs are the same as a single hour of wage if I was paid hourly, which thankfully I'm on salary because I really only work about 30 hours a week. My city isn't very walkable overall, but my high salary means I can live in the area that is. Oh, and despite buying everything that I want I still save so much that I'll be retired at age 40.

And again- I'm not special or unique or lucky or privileged. I went to a public school in a poor area, got a job by applying to a public listing with no connections, and haven't had any lucky IPO or investment win, just plain boring salary at a plain boring company writing CRUD applications.

Western Europe gives a better quality of life than America if you're low income. America gives better quality of life if you're high income. Eastern Europe is mostly lower quality regardless of occupation.
Fundamentally, software engineers aren't a commodity. They're not all created equal and they have their own desires and preferences which factor in to what they choose to do.

The FAANGs in the US will hire basically anybody, provided that person passes their interview process and is willing to physically relocate to one of their offices, which are usually located in major cities that have high costs of living (e.g. Bay Area, New York, Seattle, Boston) and therefore high compensation.

But there are many, many competent people in the US who aren't willing to move to one of these major cities, who can't pass the FAANG hiring bar, or don't want to.

Those people may be willing to accept a lower-paying job because that suits them better.

It might also be worth considering if the role you're thinking of as "software engineer" is actually a "software engineer". Does an SMB really need a "software engineer"? Maybe what they need is a "software developer", which on average receives a lower salary.
You are correct, but the original post clearly used US dollars, but it's not clear you did. So for the context of this discussion I note that $100,000 Australian dollars is $75,000 US dollars at current exchange rates (and 100,000 USD is 132,000 Australian dollars).

A writer who understood Don Quixote so well he rewrote it verbatim (cf: Copilot)
Yes, this kills Yeti 2022. There's a bug referenced which refers to an earlier incident where a bitflip happened in the logged certificate data. That was just fixed. Overwrite with the bit flipped back, and everything checks out from then onwards.

But in this case it's the hash record which was flipped, which unavoidably taints the log from that point on. Verifiers will forever say that Yeti 2022 is broken, and so it had to be locked read-only and taken out of service.

Fortunately, since modern logs are anyway sharded by year of expiry, Yeti 2023 already existed and is unaffected. DigiCert, as log operator, could decide to just change criteria for Yeti 2023 to be "also 2022 is fine" and I believe they may already have done so in fact.

Alternatively they could spin up a new mythical creature series. They have Yeti (a creature believed to live in the high mountains and maybe forests) and Nessie (a creature believed to live in a lake in Scotland) but there are plenty more I'm sure.
Twitter considers new features for tweeting only to friends
It doesn't break anything that I can see (though I'm no expert on the particular protocol). Our ability to detect bad certs isn't compromised, precisely because this was noticed by human beings who can adjust the process going forward to work around this.

Really the bigger news here seems to be a software bug: the CT protocol wasn't tolerant of bad input data and was trusting actors that clearly can't be trusted fully. Here the "black hat" was a hardware glitch, but it's not hard to imagine a more nefarious trick.

Is global yearly average temperature what increases. It is an average that takes into account from the coldest night of winter in the south pole to the hottest days in the sahara. You should not see it as "today's temperature + 4ºC", specially in something as complex as the global climate system.

What you will see in the day to day scale is more extreme weather, reaching new highs, changing in climate features (like some essential sea currents, like the gulf stream, and also air currents like the polar vortex) and not so friendly weather for things that implies predictability, like agriculture, because bad weather in some critical stages mean the loss of crops.

Also, the increase of temperature, the extremes that it reaches, are not evenly distributed, the highest temperature anomalies happen around the poles, where you have a lot of factors that will provide a positive feedback to increase global warming (releasing buried/frozen carbon, less albedo due to ice melting, etc)
There are so many apps nowadays.

I recently moved from linux to mac and was looking for an alternative to Audacity - it turns out the audio editing portion of Da Vinci Resolve does what I need just fine.

In case someone wonders - I moved to mac because of the macbook air m1. It's modern powerful hardware and silent, which is great for creative work. Previously I was on an HP business laptop from 2013 :-P
