From what I experienced, per-environment branches is a bad practice that eventually will be a big burden to deal with especially when environments don't match. Actually the concept of "staging" in infrastructure is different than it in code, which is the usual source of confusion.

The best strategy is to have a repository for your modules only so you can specify the version[0] you want to use, and separate environments by folders.

Yep. It makes several copies of the original text-to-speech file, with background noise of different frequencies.

Basically, it plays the intended file (of a certain word and a particular frequency) to get your brain in sync to encode the information effectively and efficiently to your memory. Hence, it is closed-loop.

But, it is a huge pain to compile the repo and to get working (you can use the USB version with the Ubuntu image but it can be finicky). I probably spent 80 hours trying to get it to compile and probably reinstalled Ubuntu 30+ times to get working. Eventually I was successful.

I now have a backup of the Ubuntu image thanks to Acronis True Image and I also use an NAS server.

If you email me (check my profile) I can help you with getting this all set up. I would get it to compile first before purchasing OpenBCI equipment.

Only if it's already cooler outside than inside the house. On a day where it's only 90 out during the day, it's not dropping to 75 until 8-9pm at the earliest.

Minnesota is the last state in the US (as far as I'm aware) where 3.2 beer is common. It's sold in supermarkets and gas stations where liquor laws mandate that beer sold in these types of stores must be at most 3.2% alcohol.

One state's worth of demand seems awfully small to me for the big brewing companies to keep bothering to produce 3.2 versions of their products. However that's assuming the legal climate is the main driver for the demand. Maybe the growing interest in NA or low alcohol content beers will lead them to increase availability of 3.2 beers, or market them more.
Kernel development is mostly 3 things: Adding & improving drivers (which require knowledge of how pieces of hardware work), adding & improving architecture support (which requires knowledge of CPU features), and adding & improving core kernel data structures & algorithms (eBPF being a recent example).

What all of these have in common is the C language (for now), the kernel coding style, the kernel data structures and algorithms (things like lists and locks, which serve as primitive building blocks for doing more advanced features), and the general layout of the kernel modules and subsystems within the codebase.

Personally I would recommend splitting your time between something you are trying to accomplish (perhaps adding a new syscall, or new hardware support), and general understanding of kernel development. So pick a goal and read about how to accomplish it (or read through code that was added that does that thing), and also read as much general information as you can (lWN, kernelnewbies, the LKML, etc.)

Picking a goal to accomplish doesn't have to be achievable, but doing the research will give you an anchor point for further context later.
Flutter desktop works shockingly well on Linux desktop in my experience. It's AOT compiled to native byte code, so it's pretty fast. I think the main weakness would be 3D applications, but I can't say for certain.
It really does come down to the particulars here, but there is serious value in making UI consistent between applications. Every time a user comes to an application they have to figure out the primitives from the ground up. Where things go and why, in what order, what it does, and what the names for everything is.

You copied a competitor (unintentionally), and now when someone comes to your application from the other side, they have to work out how to work things.

Your UI has to not just be better, but better while accounting for the relearning users must do.

Imagine if there were patents on the File menu, for example (knowing US patents, I'll bet there's a menagerie of them, mostly owned by FAANG in their MAD warchests). I'd prefer devs not get creative here, unless the gains are substantial.
efficiency problems of the US military can largely be blamed on a few factors:

1) It's absolutely, mind-mindbogglingly huge and it's nearly impossible to track all that's going on in the many, many different areas in any meaningful way.

2) Due to (1) and all the areas it supports, many actual projects are relatively underfunded for what they're expected to produce.

3) Because of (2) and the fact that it's public money, there's a lot of focus when going a few steps above the working level to make things efficient, remove redundancy, push for more collaboration, get more bang for your buck, etc. This often creates scope creep as things support more than what they can handle [see (2) now getting worse for maybe a little more money being added to the program] and are now expected to deliver the single solution to a multifaceted problem.

4) Because of (3) the program now has a lot more hands (people) who contribute to or rely on the outcome. This also starts to grind things to a halt as the program becomes more difficult and laborious to manage given all the new moving parts, people involved, and inevitable demonstrations and experiments to support.

The best way to be efficient in the US military, is to stay small as long as possible. To carve out some area that no one else is going to touch (so you don't get merged or lose funding) and make that 'your lane'. This adds to the challenge in (2), which leads to (3)...i guess if maybe we weren't so aggressive with (3) we wouldn't have as much challenge with (2) after some time for things to settle. That said, (3) is inevitable because of (1).
Tax patents. Progressively. Start from say $USD 1000 per year and double each year until the patent holder decides to not pay and gives the patent to the public domain. Feel free to add a couple of free years in the beginning or tweak some other parameters to suit needs of different industries.

That Paper Sun example is really good. I like how they're shaking the camera to make the masks look like they're breathing.

And the Strawberry Fields Forever example is also super interesting because the parts with the piano are more surrealist, but the closeup shots of their faces are more early psychedelia.
Very interesting! I never knew that a fair number of city trees are dioecious. What happens to all the female saplings?

I would imagine that we can actually do a lot to accelerate the process of trees spreading over an area. And even a small speed-up compounds over time.
I think Breaking Bad really set the stage for TV shows being good film. Whether you like the show or not it had a clear and defined story and ended after 5 seasons where most shows before would just run until their ratings dropped.
The answer is to not grant patents.
The original was poorly paced. It's said that they were packing in a lot of special effects that were to be used on Star Trek: Phase II, a follow-up TV series that morphed into the movie. Some story got sacrificed to make time for those extra effects shots, which were lovely but didn't move the story along.

The director's cut is still kinda languid, and it's still got a lot of gorgeous long special effects shots that won't look nearly so impressive 40 years later on a TV screen rather than a movie screen. (Even though some TV screens have gotten pretty big in the last decade.)

The cut is definitely better. It fleshes out some of its side stories, and it moves better. The effects should look pretty nice in 4K: it's all analog stuff that should scale well. And being analog they hold up surprisingly well (where CGI usually seems to feel awkward in just a few years).
I don't think they care about the environment at all. It's plain marketing as all others LGBT things they "support". It goes well with the consumer so obviously they act as they supported those causes. Only thing companies want it's profit. It's wrong? No. But don't think they care about anything else.

Practicality is a big part of the politics, but there's real politics at play as well. Different developers will have different levels of comfort with different tool chains, and different capacities to work outside their comfort zone.

This is overly reductive, but here's an example: if you have 3 developers, and 1 will be twice as productive in F# and the others will be 10% less productive, it's probably practical sense to switch, but the 2 developers will resist it, and it may fail for political reasons.
I think the case needs to be made that they're valid - If you look at the steam engine, progress only took off after the patents expired.

I currently use a 2018 MBP still. I didn't personally pay for it so I don't think I could just get rid of it. Next time I think I'll go back to a Thinkpad. I don't feel like Macbooks are higher quality for the price than a comparably priced Windows laptop with some exception. Gaming laptops tend to cut build quality corners to give more specs for the money basically.

And did you have Applecare when they repaired your machine? I couldn't get them to replace my 2nd iPad Pro smart keyboard when it died since it was out of warranty.
My favorite examples show the reference algorithm alongside the code (which cites it). The goal should be that the code provides enough similarity to the reference that it's easy to transition between the two and see past those necessary differences. For example:

It's hard to refute, cause it really is true that everyone's most instrumental pop culture experiences happened when they were 10-25 years old. I think one thing that is fascinating is how popular iconography and music/films from 20+ years ago still is. Like I see teenagers wearing t-shirts with NOFX or Van Halen on them, instead of Billie Eilish.

https://www.hottopic.com/tees/music-tees/?cm_sp=LP-_-TeesGri...

Ultimately the post WW2 period was the birth of mass media youth culture, this was a truly revolutionary thing culturally speaking, and everything else has been a series of progressively less meaningful waves as we have 75 years of music/films artfully expressing what it means to be young.

Now you're making me question how much I should tolerate that sort of thing. Where is the line between "he's just joking around, he's not really serious" vs. "deep down he really believes this". Am I just too complacent? I'll have to think about that.
I've not quit drinking (yet), but have thought the same thing. My go to just to get a nice fizzy drink has been the absolute best carbonated water around, Topo Chico.

> proctoring software can be installed before an exam and uninstalled afterwards. It doesn’t need to stay on your pc/browser, and its activation is very obvious. I have no info about permanent security issues caused by such software.

The permanent security issue is that violating a security assertion (eg running an untrusted program) on your machine means you can never trust that machine until it gets completely wiped. I'm well past the age where I have to worry about bullshit like eproctoring and my computing environment has become much more deliberate, but even in college I was running Linux as my primary. Reading how it's being normalized that in order to pass a class you're forced to install random spyware on your own machine gives me the willies. This is not what we should be teaching kids for information security practice!
Isn't that true of all good music, my friend?
I wonder if a system where keeping a patent active requires paying an exponentially increasing annual fee would help. So anyone could file a patent for say $1,000 in the first year, but then it would cost $2,000, $4,000, $8,000, etc. to keep it active in subsequent years.

That way, it would be financially infeasible for even the largest companies to hoard patents for years, but an individual inventor could start small and pay the fees as their business grows.

Yes, you are right from semantic standpoint. I already fully agree.

>> This problem could be worked around if you complied with the license such it gave you permission, however the point remains, if you revoke all of the licenses the original problem remains.

Absolutely right. If the code used for training data did not come with a license (i.e., it retains full copyright by default), the problem isn't solved. It's rather bigger as you have noted.

However, the OP is still making the right point. If the conditions/limitations which came along with the license are not honored, that becomes a copyright violation, and hence, the developers need to be careful or they might get sued.

> kernel_task consumes insane amounts of CPU time

If my understanding of how mac works is correct, this is caused by overheating and basically is throttle mode.
The e-ink patent is so frustrating.

Another good example of a patent restricting innovation was the patent on 3D Printers. That's why in the past few years, 3D printers have become so much more prevalent and accessible (you can buy one for a few hundred dollars today).

These definitely stifle innovation. I'd think a more reasonable approach could be, you have a patent for 15 years (or whatever arbitrary number is reasonable) or until the patent holder makes some multiple dollar amount from things that use whatever is patented.

That is, if it costs a million dollars to develop e-ink screens, the patent is valid until the company has had revenue of 20 million dollars on devices that have e-ink screens. Tying it to revenue instead of profit is intended since profits can be turned into revenue easily to bypass the restriction otherwise.

You could also add a minimum number of years (obviously less than the max mentioned above) so companies have some protection across various metrics.
My understanding is that hard seltzers are mostly made in a fashion similar to beer. They use cane sugar rather than barley in the fermentation process.
I use AlDente to keep my battery between 80% and 20%. Zoom probably gets 30-60 min of usage during the day. If I start at 9 I usually have to plug in (hit 20%) around 2, so that's 60% in 5 hours. So probably 8-9 hours if I let it run all the way from 100% to 0%. It's not really a complaint about longevity, like I said it's above and beyond any other laptop I've owned, I just see many anecdotes of "I Zoom for 6 hours and my battery is at 90%!" and I find that hard to believe.

I've found that I prefer tonic water and lime over every NA beer I've tried so far (which all have an overpoweringly dull bitter aftertaste). Currently looking for a less sugary tonic water and considering quinine or tonic syrup.
Part of the problem has been that, the way the system is currently set up, after an inventor invents something genuinely novel but with a narrow focus, their company's patent lawyers massage the claims language to make the patent much broader, sometimes effectively claiming any possible way to solve the problem instead of just claiming the specific invention. These ridiculously overbroad patents are the ones that are most valuable to trolls, and it is only the claims that matter.
Why aren't patents just "use it or lose it" like trademarks? That would seem to eliminate most of the abuse in a targeted way. Unless I'm missing something...

Ah now I get it. Yeah you're absolutely right. I can imagine that we'll be working with landlords in markets like these instead of going directly B2C. While landlords may not care too much about the financial aspect of renting furniture they may care about the service aspect. We take care of the furniture, insure it, replace it ect. :)
The idea is pretty straightforward. "Little guy" invents something truly novel, investing major time into generating that invention. "Big guy" sees this after the fact, uses existing resources to steamroll little guy.

Patents exist to prevent that.

> Yeah, the question "do they kill innovation?" is too simplistic... They exist for a valid reason

But isn't that entire reason explicitly to "promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts" aka innovation? Shouldn't we ask whether or not patents are doing the thing we want them to do?
thanks for sharing, looks great, I ordered them right away. I like most non-alcoholic beers, what bothers me most is the lack of variety so I'm always happy to try new ones
I think a similar approach would work with copyright, too. Only with a grace period.

Say, your original copyright lasts for 20 years since creation of your work. If you want to prolong it, you can, but you must register your work and pay a yearly fee that starts somewhere around USD 5, but grows exponentially to reach millions after 50 years and billions after 100 years.
In my opinion, yes. It's not obvious to me that our intellectual property system encourages invention. After all, every great invention in history was "patented" (given state license to monopolize) and immediately copied just outside of its jurisdiction (and many times within the jurisdiction in complete disregard of the legality).

No company on earth would accept a state license to monopolize if it meant they were subject to price controls. Especially given how useless these licenses are at preventing global mega-corps from using them.

Intel and AMD famously rip each others intellectual property off but don't do anything about it because they're both guilty as sin. How does that protect innovation? How does these two companies ripping each other off inhibit innovation?

Granted this was not a contribution to an Amazon-owned piece of software. I decided not to continue interviewing with them...
