I'm making the point that the base rate of criminality needs to be taken into account if you want to compare incarceration rates. For many different reasons people in one society might commit more crime than people in another society.

Though I do not use the example myself, preferring the murder rate example, the parent's suggestion is a reasonable way to control for this inter-society difference. I would bet that Japanese in the U.S. evince rates of criminality more similar to those of Japanese in Japan than to the rest of American society. It's an empirical question; whether merely asking the question is racist or not given your particular sentiments about what's racist is beside the point.
No, local euclidean-ness is (more or less) the equivalence principle. The locality could be very small though! But it would break GR if local flatness weren't possible.
And maybe more two ports?
you read my mind.
This should be a red flag to anyone studying film at Columbia. How much can your degree possibly be worth if your department chair can't sell a TV pilot without shaking down a former student to jump-start his own career?
This is always interesting, because when I went to my crappy state school people always said "Oh, but you can always go to a top grad school!".

It seems like if you're not cut out for success at 17 you'll never have it.
It’s been a month since WWDC. Wait until fall, that’s when the hardware announcements come anyway. Why complain so early in the year?
Any way to use cname for hookdeck? Curious if we can have webhooks route to example.com instead of hookdeck.com

Also, any SLA on uptime?
Can we also take a moment to reflect on the odd shape of the M1’s heatspreader? It looks like a normal heatspreader sawn in half.
Viruses, like all things, mutate to become more fit to their environment. A lot of viruses mutate to become less deadly because they're killing their hosts too quickly, and the less-deadly versions allow their hosts to live longer, and thus spread better.

COVID already spreads very well, what with the ability for it to spread while incubating silently for a couple weeks. A more-deadly version that retains the slow and silent incubation, but then kills mercilessly, would likely still spread just as fine.
They're not really separate things: Chrome has said removing third party cookies is dependent on finding good replacements. This goes back at least to https://blog.chromium.org/2020/01/building-more-private-web-...:

After initial dialogue with the web community, we are confident that with continued iteration and feedback, privacy-preserving and open-standard mechanisms like the Privacy Sandbox can sustain a healthy, ad-supported web in a way that will render third-party cookies obsolete. Once these approaches have addressed the needs of users, publishers, and advertisers, and we have developed the tools to mitigate workarounds, we plan to phase out support for third-party cookies in Chrome.

(Disclosure: I work on ads at Google, speaking only for myself)
This has existed since iTunes started selling music, and formats like DDEX have existed for a long time to communicate this metadata between labels, distributors, and retailers in a standard way.

Sadly the metadata the consumer gets doesn't end up consistent because there's fragmentation between retailers (or if we're talking 10 years ago, p2p uploaders) on how to populate id3 tags etc.
You've given me an idea for a volume control - enter a function like x^2 or x^3, which is graphed (on a linear scale). Then pick an x. The y value will be your volume. (The component should reverse any platform specific non-linearity first.)
I was one of these film MFA students, seduced by my own delusional idea that I could continue to develop my own work for several years (I was already a flailing filmmaker) and then re-launch my career. And then, if necessary, teach in a college film program with my MFA - and continue to develop my own work. It was all going to work out!

I’ve made many mistakes, but high-tailing from that program after 9 months and finding something else to do in life was not one of them.

Hindsight being 2020, I missed a fabulous opportunity to shoot a documentary about my MFA classmates, who were a very fine cross-section of the kind of students from around the world who would find and spend about a hundred thousand dollars in the year 2000 for the privilege of having a teaching assistant show you how to operate a video camera while simultaneously trying to read and understand the instruction manual. Probably for the first time.

The most successful of my classmates who stuck with it makes commercials in the Midwest. The nicest one never made a film at all yet somehow is a tenured professor at a small college in California. I stumbled my way into technology and am making up for years that were fun but deeply unprofitable.

I must say that the faculty at my program were the Woody Allen punch-line incarnate: because the stakes are so low.
Well, Gemini is the best place to read about Gemini :)
I get wrist pain typing on normal keyboards, but I've found my main issue is negative wrist angle. I have been using those silicone roll up keyboards [1] for almost two decades now.

At first we got one because our keyboard broke and it was all they had at the Radio Shack in our small town. Then I grew to like it because it is nearly silent to type on. And as I've gotten older, I've found that I don't get wrist pain when using it, unlike every other keyboard I've tried.

I know people go on about the greatness of split ergonomic keyboards, but if you are like me and those just don't really do it for you, I'd suggest giving one of these a try. They are sort of love it or hate it, with a heavy skew towards hate it though.

primarily because it's centered on a single benchmark, Lightroom image import.

It's not a very interesting article but it specifically talks about the relative non-importance of that particular benchmark, beside the results being largely a wash:

I sorely miss the benchmark I saw in some other publication but can’t find now, where they measured the interactive performance when you load up a series of photos on-screen. These import & export measurements are useful, but frankly when I do that kind of thing I go read email or get a coffee while it’s happening, so it doesn’t really hold me up as such.

To date, I haven’t heard anyone saying Lightroom is significantly snappier on an M1 than on a recent Intel MBP. I’d be happy to be corrected.
...there are large academic fields where people spend entire careers doing exactly this? The statistics are not hard to come by.
I tried online backup from my NAS to B2 for 3TB of data (worked fine, ultimately too expensive for my scenario), and it's feasible if you don't mind the first backup taking weeks (or maybe months in your case).

I find zookeeper to be the easy part. Managing Kafka’s byzantine auth systems, and applying upgrades to clients and servers that change a million things every release, and dealing with the shitstorm of gigabytes of text logs, and dealing with tuning mistakes (don’t you dare leave the file descriptor limit at the OS default!) just sucks up so much attention.
I had the same issue, when I looked online the options were dismal and highly expensive. But when I visited the Xfinity store in person, they had multiple tiers of options I could choose from. Currently I'm on the 1.3 gigabit plan at roughly $100/mo. You may or may not have the same luck by visiting in person, or calling on the phone rather than browsing their plans online.
Or more likely, fractional miles. In Chicago, a standard city block is 1/8 of a mile by 1/16 of a mile (usually the longer dimension is considered a "block" for describing distances since it corresponds to the grid's "hunnerts" for addresses¹, something which confuses my wife to no end, especially when a 3-block walk may cover more or less than 3 physical blocks).

---

1. There are a few areas where the hunnerts don't correspond to 1/8 mile blocks: The first mile from Madison to Roosevelt goes from 0 to 1200. Then from 16th to 22nd (Cermak) there are some missing hunnerts and again one missing hunnert between 26th and 31st. Some of these are a consequence of the replatting of the city at the beginning of the twentieth century and some of it, who knows?
I have pretty much stopped visiting reddit except for questions regarding iOS programming. Their website and mobile site is complete crap. Apollo is a decent iOS app alternative and if they kill the API, it's over for them.
> People in film / TV are as likely to hire a successful YouTuber as any MFA.

Well, not any MFA, as there are people with MFA’s and established track records.

There's a degree of success where the degree probably makes no marginal benefit, but, especially unless you want to do almost exactly the same thing as you are already doing with the YouTube channel in a very similar medium, its probably not just “has an active YouTube following”.
How about students pay for college with a state-brokered income share agreement? As in, for every year of university, a student pledges to pay that university .25% of their annual income, for life. The government could easily facilitate this via the income tax process. This would eliminate the issue of student loan debt, and finally put the incentives of our universities in line with the students they're supposed to serve. I imagine we'd see a lot fewer frivolous degrees once it was in the universities interest to actually equip their students for financial success. The way things are, I doubt these institutions care. They get paid either way!
Even if your claim is correct: Hiding this kind of information from the public, and trying to steamroll them with “experts say” proclamations, has backfired spectacularly. Surely you can see that by now.
For 7 years I felt that way. That yeah, generics might be nice-to-have in Go, but if you were really sweating it that it meant you were still thinking in Java instead of Go. But then I switched teams at work and...

> Me: Nothing has ever made me want generics in Go the way that the telepresence2 codebase has made me want generics in Go.

> CTO: Is this because of the problem domain or the incidental structure of the code?

> Me: I'm honestly not sure. I want to say the incidental structure of the code, but I'm not sure how else I'd structure it.

I implemented codegen/template based generics, but eagerly await being able to replace that with actual generics in Go 1.18.

So, I guess the lesson is that it's easy to write off it off when it's someone else having the problem?
Astronomy, in the Caltech course catalog
I am not up on niche keyboard lingo and assumed this was advertising a keyboard where 40% of the keys were mechanical.

Really was wondering what advantage that would have since mechanical keyboard people seem very opinionated about the inferiority of all other key styles.
Sadly that won't solve the problem. If 99% of Bitcoin is locked up in sidechains, the free 1% will become the new Bitcoin, so each Bitcoin will be far more expensive. As long as the price of Bitcoin rises faster than the mining rewards reduce, people will keep mining it.

And if you think that people dump a coin just because all the use cases have moved onto new coins, I present for your comment the "Ethereum Classic".
What you're seeing is top-school privilege here. Drive on I-40 for a few miles and the Physics PhD's aren't getting the same treatment, at all.
Thinking critically is not an enlightening process, it is a thing that helps you make money. Being able to understand information, balance it appropriately, and then make decisions is a major shortage within most institutions.

As an example, I used to work in equity research. It was 100% possible to tell within ten minutes of talking to an analyst what their UG was in (and whether they did the CFA). If they studied accountancy or finance, it was like talking to a brick wall. They would list a series of data points, they wouldn't really know how to balance them, and they would never ask second-level questions like: how did the company gather this data? Why did they gather this data? Those kind of questions just didn't compute.

To give you another example, I later did a lot of work with retail investors. I got to see how people from different backgrounds made decisions. The number one worst investors were engineers, by a long shot. They had huge confidence in their own reasoning ability, (again) would overemphasize the data that was available, and ask no real relevant questions...they didn't even seem to know what questions were relevant (and btw, the best were usually lawyers...they usually had no information but they were able to think at that second-level...I also worked somewhere that had a former world heavyweight boxer as a client, and he was unbelievably switched on...again, literally no knowledge of finance but his reasoning ability was out of this world, he asked the right question every time).

It is very hard to say whether this can be taught to everyone, it is almost intangible...but this kind of general critical thinking/reasoning is vitally important. And, imo, the US produces far too few of these people (with some reason, liberal arts in the US has been hijacked, I studied econ history but I would have studied a science in the US if I grew up there...US business schools are top notch in this area though, I will grant that). If you look at countries, East Asia particularly, that (often for political reasons) don't teach these subjects, it has a macroeconomic impact: company creation, r&d, how companies function, etc. And to be clear, what I am saying here is that these skills are universal...it isn't about science vs social science, that is just a dichotomy that doesn't exist (both areas need more of the other).
Things in mathematics are definitionally true. That's the whole system of axioms and proofs.

Pi is pi because of our axioms.

If you define things differently, pi doesn't have to be discovered at all.
When was the last time you saw a study actually replicated and not just "peer reviewed" and referenced?
Interesting, at my place it's the other way around: Suggesting someone might be unwillingly killed by chance is fine ("bus rule "), but suggesting someone could find the job materially useless ("lottery rule") or get fed up ("fuck-it rule") is gauche
Democracy in Greece was ended by the greeks themselves. Monarchy was the rule from Alexandrian times through to the fall of the Byzantine empire.

I buy the argument that modern representative democracy is descended from Germanic practices. Germanic warriors 'electing' their leader -> landed men having representation through a house of lords or parliament -> modern suffrage movemetns. See the origins of the Icelandic or British parliaments. But nearly any society based on a widespread warrior class was in some way democratic, from Rome to the Mongols.
Never heard of the Nuphy! Looks like we've both learned of some new keyboards today!

I've always wondered why there weren't more wireless keyboards, and it's relatively reasonably priced. Looks like an awesome board, maybe they'll have a split version at some point...
What percentage of the population of 20 somethings fall into the category of "mobile, non-property owning, wanders to find a job"? 1-5%? And you don't think that peripatetic workers will have to deal with the political and societal implications of climate change? What will the impacts be when California and Arizona decide between allocating water for urban areas or agriculture? What happens when the Columbia Plateau is too hot for sustained crop yields? Those workers can't just travel somewhere entirely removed from those realities.

Even ignoring the absurd reduction to a small proportion of 20 somethings, the original comment was about 20 somethings in general, not just a hypothetocal mobile workforce. The majority of 20 somethings will not be able to load up their $40k sprinter van and head for greener pastures.
While similar in principal that’s not the same at all in terms of cost or scale.
Right it didn’t go down 5.4% it went down 50.

Inflation is a measure of buying power. The buying power of Bitcoin went down 30% in A DAY not long ago. Because of a tweet.

I’ll take the USD, thanks.

Also, how do you know what people of Zimbabwe think?
Actually, unified batch and stream processing in Flink is a bit of false advertisement. In Flink, stream and batch have different API (DataStream vs DataSet) so reusing logic is not really practical, unless you abstract out everything, in which case you might as well use Spark which is faster than DataSet API. Flink's developers is trying to get rid of DataSet API and move to DataStream and Table API for everything, but it's not done yet.
I think it's pretty clear that doing things that I truly believe lead to society at large becoming worse would make me a bad person, that's at least partially why I don't actually do them.

Simultaneously, when looking at other people who take actions that I believe will make society worse, I don't wish them eternal peace and happiness as much as I wish they'd stub their toe, spill their coffee, and have a seagull poop on their back. That might make me a bad person, honestly I think it just makes me an average, if not slightly below average, person.
This but 64GB. Docker, Chrome and IDEs alone regularly consume up to 50GB memory on my Intel MBP.

Plus, why the stupid monitor limitation? A "Pro" MacBook needs to be able to have 2-3 monitors with no compromises.
Why not? (to the first sentence, locally is locally)

But I think I have found the source of my confusion in my original post, I was thinking about manifolds only in the topological sense and for some reason forgot that when there is a metric then we have to preserve distances. No 'mug and a donut' type of shenanigans.
Advantage of Flink over Kafka Stream

* Flink work on other message queue tech other than Kafka like Amazon SQS, Pulsar, etc..

* Back when I last read about Kafka Stream, Flink has better support for stateful processing, the entire state of execution can be safely snapshot into storage and resume at any time.

* Kafka Stream shuffle data is slower, because it has to send data to a new topic in the broker, instead of sending it directly between compute node.

Advantage of Kafka Stream over Flink

* Kafka Stream deployment is simple, just start the jar like any other Java program, scaling up by running the jar multiple time. On the other hand, Flink need a mature orchestration framework like YARN, Meso or K8S, trying to manage a Flink deployment without them is very painful.

* Flink require a central, persistent storage like HDFS or S3 for its checkpoint mechanism; Kafka stream doesn't.
I take your point but I also think actually Lucas, Coppola, Scorsese are the outliers to have studied film, but the schools they went to really make a big deal about it.

But to get more into the weirdness of the video game thing.. My kids went to a pretty fancy high school($). Many of the parents think it is key that their kids get a STEM education and go and be engineers/ programmers. Many of these parents work in entertainment. For example, really good friends who are very successful TV producers have their heart set on their daughter getting an engineering degree. I mean, that is great but I want to say to them very very few STEM graduates enjoy the success you have had. Could you teach your daughter how to be a TV producer?

Also, when we talk about these MFAs at regular universities, that is different than dedicated art schools like Cal Arts, RISDI.. They are a whole different kettle of fish and I think lots of people recruit there just like tech firms recruit from certain CS programs.
He chooses to not help people who make his job harder, sounds like a normal human being to me.

Are you sure Islamic state does not fit definition of rule by terror?
I suppose it depends on how you calculate it. If the delta variant is equally deadly to previous versions (to an individual), but is more infectious, then more people will die, all else being equal. More people dying --> more deadly, at the population level.
I am constantly between 22-25GB so I definitely need that 32GB RAM. Maybe 64GB for future proofing. I kinda gave up on GPUs on Mac.

How would you compute the current volume level? You would have to either store the current x value (which could desync if you change the volume level using the OS volume control), or derive the nearest x from the current y value (which may be possible on PulseAudio, but I haven't checked if you're stuck to the nearest 1% or if you can get a more precise or dB level).
RabbitMQ already had a queue - that's it's main feature. This adds something which is not a queue; it's an append-only log.

Queues let many writers put messages into a single topic. Then, many readers come to that topic, and pop messages off. Each message goes to just one reader. You could use this for background jobs. For example, if you were running YouTube, you might handle uploads this way: the uploaded videos are put into a queue, and workers process them to transcode them and make them playable on the website. You don't want the uploads to be processed more than once.

Append-only logs let many writers append messages onto a single topic. Then, many readers may replay the entire history of messages whenever they want. Each message may go to many readers, and may even go to the same reader multiple times if they want. You could use this to build a "message bus" where you want lots of things to happen after an action. For example, every time a user "likes" something on facebook, maybe we want to notify the content-producer, notify their friends, and update some recommendation algorithms - three different things that we want to do each time, and we don't want errors in one to block the others.
I do think that have 2x2u keys would be better, though I don't think it's the main issue with the Planck as far as ergonomics go.

Going with the assumptions that you want your elbows to be next to your body and that you want your arms parallel or slightly negatively tilted towards the ground, when you have a keyboard that isn't split, you are always going to have to angle your hands inwards if you're typing with two hands. When you take that angle into account while trying to retain straight wrists, you end up with something like the atreus. If you don't, you end up with something like the planck (or standard keyboard layouts). In order to do "proper" touch typing, you are rotating your wrists outwards to accommodate the shape of the keyboard.

Still, it's not like there's one right answer and I feel like any decision you make with regards to ergonomics you end up compromising on another aspect, so in the end it may not matter very much that you are contorting your wrists. Some people have been typing for longer than I've been alive and haven't had issues with standard layout keyboards so YMMV.
Depends on the model afaik. On mine phantom center disables level control.
