> If Chess.com or LiChess were to do something like that I would immediately stop this project, as the main idea here is quantity and those guys can't be beat when it comes to that.

I meant it as a rhetorical question, but that's kind of my point - instead of a new project, maybe see if lichess would be interested, and then work on adding it (it's at least open source, although if you don't get lichess.org buy-in then it's kinda moot - I know they get a lot of new mode requests and have pretty much said "no new modes!").

With that though you get a huge player base, many (most?) of whom have never played OTB, some of whom would be interested in trying out OTB chess, but are intimidated by hustlers at the park, dusty old chess clubs, etc.

In any case I applaud the effort to get more players away from their screens, and have signed up and am watching my local thread.
PEP 657: Fine grained locations in tracebacks merged to Python 3.11
Well isn't this just rich (in a poor way), considering Google is notorious over the years for making the display of their ad placements harder and harder to differentiate from actual search results, thus more and more misleading....

Can we ban that too?

Give me a break.
My interpretation of that paper is that it is saying "We don't have hard enough bounds on the parameters of the Drake Equation, so one (or more) of the parameters could be much lower than expected". But without specifying which parameters are much lower than expected, the paper is just saying "our current understanding/uncertainty about the universe is consistent with someone solving the drake equation in some unknown way at a later point in the future". Which I don't think is actually a solution. The real question we are interested in is which parameters are lower than expected and why.
WHO Chief, yesterday, admits ruling out the lab leak theory was premature. It's not blatantly false unless the WHO Chief is propping up conspiracy theories now.

>Also, it is time consuming to read every single label on food that one buys. The labels on the front are often misleading.

But only in the short term, right? Once you figured out what products are healthy and switched to them, you can rely on prior memory. It's not like you have to look at the labels of every item you're buying for years.
James Paul Gee on Learning with Video Games [video]
I heard this argument somewhere (not just about medicine but also on defense, why they can have such lavish perks/holidays/etc.) but can't remember where. Do you have any good articles/papers on this?
You are right. I think the fact that we have high quality oldschool and medical strains dominating the market here in Switzerland makes it so much more common for people to smoke it and things like anxiexy and panic many here describe simply are less common.

What do you mean “you can get”?

Being precise is especially important in math.
I'm well aware of this argument but in practice it doesn't work like that. Other countries don't have encryption bans and are fine as you're always required to ID. The nice business band radios you see in the US are often encryption capable and they're allowed to use it on their bands so nothing is stopping them from bleeding into the ham bands (the business radios are wideband enough for this). The reality is the FCC is scared of civilian encryption adoption as evidenced by the lack of any encrypted civilian bands outside of the business/police segments.
Only Train Once: A One-Shot Neural Network Training and Pruning Framework
It’s a long read, so far I have skimmed through it and find his points honest and not hurtful.

Anything in specific you saw?
Is anyone actually starving to death in wealthy nations?

I get that there are people who have to skip meals in the USA, but does anyone really get to the point of dying?
Valve’s Steam Deck can run Windows and turn into a portable Xbox
I think that's a really, really bad idea if they're on Russian territory. Would create a precedent for the Russians (and other adversaries) to do the same to US citizens.
I think a lot of us are sick of it (if you look at the polling for single payer, it crosses party lines in support). Unfortunately, our politicians are fairly well captured by entrenched interests.
agreed but what job creation is a project sitting dead for 5 years? are they giving people salary for not doing anything and then claiming too much costs or something else?
No, you seem to not understand. Modern games dont do the _most basic_ validation on player submitted input - you can use cheats to fly in Apex Legends, Fortnite, PUBG, Fall Guys. None of those games check something as basic as feasibility of submitted player position/physics. Hell, even something as basic as Among Us doesnt run any server side checks and rudimentary cheats let you see everything, move thru walls, or even impersonate other players.
People in luxury condos don't care about rent prices, and renters can't empathize with people in luxury condos. Such a comparison alone does not provide any benefit to the conversation, until it's taken in the direction of Executive Compensation Multipliers and turned into an evaluation metric that everyone can comprehend and grasp, beyond just a standalone statistic.
I dropped Google Drive late last year and it wasn't too bad. Setup another service, made a directory junction from GoogleDrive folder to new folder, profit.
Reading about all the tricks marketers use to get us to think we need to buy shit we do not need, and honestly I do wonder if self control is an illusion.
Antisemitism is a lot like pedophilia; if you find yourself even mentioning its' existence, you're immediately suspect yourself. Best to never let the words even come out of your mouth regardless of context. Deny, suppress, gaslight, and ignore anything that even remotely touches the subject. No one ever got brownie points for profoundly exclaiming their lack of hatred for jewish people.

(And you see I'll be downvoted here for even mentioning it. Q.E.D.)
Does this kind of just go with the fantasy that there will be some major revolution and hams will be the only way to communicate? Same with some gun owners fantasy that one day they'll need their small arms to overthrow the state?

It just all seems so unrealistic to me. This video shows Cuba, a country with practically no military budget compared to the US, jamming hams without problem - but the fantasy goes that somehow it would be the last bastion of free communication in the event of a American revolution?

The same with gun control, that the fact you can only get a 12 round magazine instead of the 30 round magazine is going to make a difference in "the revolution"?

Not even getting to the point that if by focusing on preparing for a destructive revolution you begin to give up on fixing things through the political process.
Without looking at the code, I doubt it. Real-time reflections are generally done with offscreen rendering and cube maps. The objects being reflected are still rendered, you just can't see them because they aren't in the projection/view space.
Wouldn't the crews have this manual to?

Or rando IT guy?
Early on Fauci was telling everyone how useless masks were [1].

I have a couple people in my social circle that were banned
from fb for saying he was wrong early on about masks being ineffective. And several others were banned later for pointing out fauci's earlier stance and calling it all propaganda. You are not allowed to think for yourself. Pick up that can.

Why do you think they advertise?
Yep. And if some insulin gets too expensive, at least in Germany they kick it out from the system completely. It's either you can sell your product in the country with a price we think is reasonable, or we will not let you to be in the market.

20 euros per 10ml (about 2 weeks of use for me) is still kind of a good money for a product I cannot stop using...
I have a very hard time with anything less than 100%. You're talking about preventing people from using their main skills to put food on the table.

And frankly, even 100% discounts the professional development that comes in the natural course of employment. You will have missed opportunities for skill advancement and networking.

After 2 years not working because of the non-compete, how are interviews for the next position going to go? You'll be rusty at best. Side projects are not, in general, a fair substitute: what does an Amazon SRE do on hardware at home that compares to what's on the job? Even for an individual developer, there's a world of difference hacking on your own web app and working on a team with large numbers of actual customers.
10 year user. After a devastating diagnosis for a parent happened, it started to give me very intense anxiety when I used. It was almost immediately after the bad news and I haven't been able to go back to it even in small doses.
<3 Let us know what you think!
I've held clearances before and that was very much not the attitude of the security folks I met. But they were big fans of reminding you what happens if they catch you doing an unauthorized disclosure.

I was very low on the totem pole, so I can't know for certain what leadership actually expects. But it doesn't jibe with my experience that there would be some kind of "leak budget" similar to Google SRE "error budget".
Even a simple traffic stop should make one cautious of what they say. E.g., when the cop says "What's your hurry?", and you say something trying to excuse your behavior, such as "I really have to go to the bathroom, sir!", you have just admitted guilt, and they will note that on the ticket and use it against you in court. I'm not saying to tell them "Sorry, I don't talk to cops", but rather don't admit to anything. Say something like, "I'm in no hurry, sir. How's your day going?". Then just take your ticket, and take your chances in court.
Idk.....Some things cannot be unseen and humans are curious. Porn is one thing, but seeing gruesome deaths is completely different experience. There are things I wish I have never seen before, and I did not want to see many of them.

Today, I know in many places people are being killed in awful ways because of their religion or lack of it, sex, what they identify as, or because they live in a unstable place.

Plus, you can tell a child the stove may be hot a million times, yet they will touch it and burn themselves. Children and younger adults often feel they know better and something wont happen to them.
If we don't expand beyond Earth, we've got maybe 700 million years tops, since past then the sun's changes will make multi-cellular life, if not all life, on Earth impossible.
All I can see is a cube map. Looking at the source code of the scene confirms this: it's just a traditional skybox projected onto the mesh.

No raytracing there, just plain old cube-mapped reflections.
This kind of leave really doesn't exist outside of finance, and even then most companies would rather let you go unless you actually know some critical secret sauce.
It looks like it is "at least 50%" according to the law.
I, and the company I was at, switched from C++ to Java in the 1990's, and garbage collection was a major productivity boost. Lately it's been Python and JavaScript.
Has C++ come up with ways to help with manual memory management, to make it as convenient as garbage collected languages, or almost as convenient?
Can almost guarantee the bigger issue is the low quality “food” options, leading to obesity and diabetes.
All my Time Machine backups over AFP and SMB eventually results in a corrupted backup set. Have you experienced this at all?
At scale though, it's pretty evident that people don't have either of these with respect to their health. Is this an indictment on humanity as a whole, or someone else? Ultimately the answer doesn't matter because when something like this is this widespread, it has serious problems for society as a whole. Do we want to continue to put up our noses at the unwashed masses (which doesn't help anybody or anything), or do we want to do something about it and potentially help out society and start to get those who have erred on the right path?

I guess no one could have predicted people would need to try multiple time to boy a preorder at a fixed hour.

Nothing they could have done.
Had a non-compete (consulting). Employer was cool at my old workplace. We didn't have any super-proprietary knowledge or book of business to walk off with - so generally they weren't enforced. But they needed it to protect the business and I can understand that.

In my state, by law the contract can't cause 'undue difficulties'. You could prob make the case that were I to leave, it prevents me from working in my industry - I'd call that a good enough argument to go before a judge with, esp in a blue state.
It's very common to sell game consoles at a loss. They make it back in game sales.
The only people dying of starvation in the western world are people who refuse to accept help or have severe addiction or mental health problems that prevent them from seeking it in the first place.
Opinions without identities are meaningless. We are increasingly living in a society where the only opinions we can attach to a human are from our families or talking heads on TV and social media.
I have an addictive personality so I gave it up completely.

It only sucked on a Friday evening for like 1 hour. weird because I would game every night.
Nice presentation! Being able to implement what you learn, directly, and create a social environment around it, learning rates just increase at an awesome rate, speaking from experience. When games designed for entertainment create "affinity spaces" which educate them even further, imagine the implications of games which are directly designed with the idea of teaching particular skills right from the get go. This presentation is from 2012 and we have come a long way since then, and right now in 2020 the future of game-based learning is looking even brighter.
Economic history of World War II and the 18th Brumaire
A very interesting angle about Alex Ferguson that isn't mentioned by the HBR is the idea of luck.

Here's what Brian McClair said about Fergie:

“And the other thing about him: he’s a lucky b*astard. His brother-in-law told me if he fell into the Clyde he’d come out with a salmon in either pocket.

“I think that he signed players who he thought were lucky. I’ve never asked him. But just look at me. Every club I was at they won something. Villa won the league, Motherwell won the first division, Celtic won the league and the cup. And United won a couple when I was there.

"Needless to say, any manager under pressure will need a bit of luck and we certainly had our fair share on the road to Wembley in 1990, but show me a successful side that hasn’t had its slice of bad fortune or two along the way.

I remember talking to a close associate of Fergie once and he told me "he considered him to be the luckiest man on the planet".

Against Forest, the home side had what looked to be a perfectly good goal disallowed. While in the next round, a rogue whistle from the crowd stopped what could have been a certain goal for Hereford but for the quick thinking of Jim Leighton.

Combine that with my scuffed effort from all of six yards at Newcastle and my equally scrappy goal from half that distance at Sheffield United, along with Oldham being a ball’s width from knocking us out in the semi-final, and you can see why some people thought our name was on the trophy."

--

There have been quotes that he was considered by others to have been lucky from a young age and had even gone so far as to ask certain players before signing them if they thought they were lucky.

Add in "Fergie Time" - the 7 minutes of extra time out of nowhere against Sheffield Wednesday to effectively get United back on top in the title race, The two goals against Bayern in the CL final, the John Terry penalty slip in the CL final, Vidic not getting sent off against Villa in the cup final, and many more and Ferguson could make even the skeptical person ponder.
This is a breath takingly disgusting over simplification and you know it.

How am I not surprised that you're the founder and CTO of a proctoring company that does facial recognition + AI to detect lying with "100% unbiased results". Fucking gross, man.
No one deserves to have a disease, and no one should say that. I'm not from US, but whenever I went there in the past I was amazed at the size of the portions, the size of the cars, and the size of the people.

I would like to live in a world where we can both be sensitive about certain topics, but also be able start hard discussions - for example "don't live an unhealthy lifestyle, exercise, eat better, or you're going to be the only one to blame if you get sick from X, Y, Z".

The Quiet SaaS Email Marketing Strategy ConvertKit Used to Get to $2.3M+ MRR
ConvertKit is best known in the digital marketing arena for the prominence it has achieved among much more powerful competitors. They approach email marketing with good strategies and target a specific group of creators. This articles deconstructs the email marketing strategy used at the company.
You can invent whatever definition you like, but no one will understand you.

There have been a number of replies to my comment complaining that assertive is the same aggressive, but they are wrong by definition. Aggression is based on hate and anger, and assertiveness is effectively being self-confident. That's literally the definition, and you don't like it. I have no idea why without mind-reading.

If someone says they are acting assertive but are being aggressive, then guess what: that person is being aggressive. You don't redefine assertive.

I'm amazed at how many people want to redefine assertiveness. I have no idea why. It's like saying "up" is "down". It is literally nonsensical. Why does it threaten them so much? It is causing them to act in a totally non assertive, passive-aggressive why by whining about definitions.

Perhaps some people have such low self-esteem they can't handle it when they encounter someone with confidence and point their fingers shouting "aggression!!!!"
LG Chem battery factory.

"LG Energy Solutions, the company that makes the battery for the Bolt and Kona EV, has not had a good year. First, they agreed to replace the 82,000 batteries sold to Hyundai for the Kona EV, Ioniq, and Elec City buses. Although the initial rumors were from a faulty battery separator, Hyundai later said that the problem was badly folded tabs. GM emphatically pointed out that they use a different separator, and a different factory. Thus neither of those problems should apply to the Bolt fires.

Porsche recently initiated a recall on a loss of power in its Taycan LG batteries, and Ford also moved from LG in its Mustang Mach-E to SK in its Ford F-150 Lightning."
I have two (redundant backups) chugging along fine. One of these days I’m going to replace at least one of the HDs with an 8TB drive. I don’t think the suggestion in the article of using SSD is for me until prices come down more and capacities go way up. Never had a problem with the speed… and it just works. Have restored full and partial backups quite a few times.

I hope people at least put their old units (sans hard drive or with data well wiped) on ebay or craigslist instead of trashing them.
I didn't know about this web page, but love the concept of providing only good news.
No-no, le9 is very useful both with swap (physical or zram) and without. With zram it makes swapping process seamless (no lags when swapping), with physical swap on HDD it makes it a bit softer (on regular kernel both swapping and file reloading upon swapping occurs, making the process even more slower; with le9 it's mostly only swapping), and without swap it prevents hard thrashing and freeze of the PC, (additionally) making OOM killer to trigger much earlier than it usually triggers.
Given the lack of reporting, what information informs the guess?

They never said they would. You can store all the misleading content you like in your Google Drive. Using Google drive as a distribution platform to share misleading content is what they are moderating.

Claiming otherwise is completely disingenuous, as it intentionally obscures core features of the service. It would be like saying "Twitter is an instant messaging service, I don't expect them to moderate any of my content" after a public tweet gets deleted.
It's not entirely clear to me which of these policies apply to any and all content you upload without sharing externally.

Both the misleading content and sexually explicit material sections start with "Do not distribute content...". So does that mean as long as I don't enable sharing, I'm free to upload such content? If I'm the only person who can access these files, then I'm not distributing it surely.

I also find it curious the section on circumvention makes no mention of the use of encryption. I suppose doing so would show imply Google scans your content and use such techniques to find files in violation of their policies. With that not explicitly banned, I'll continue to use Cryptomator to keep my private documents out of Google's hands.
That's not true. Type-2 is genetic too and there are high performance athletes suffering from it. Just as you have very obese people without it.
People being squeezed for time and money by soul-crushing, self-grinding subsistence-level employment so that, tapped of executive function for the day, they buy a cheeseburger and fries, maybe collapse in front of YouTube to turn their brains off for a bit--

Events don't happen in a vacuum. The US placed missiles at the border of the USSR and pointed them at the USSR [0], and in response, the USSR placed missiles in Cuba. It was the US that provoked those missiles. These are responses to US aggression. Look at it from a historical perspective.

> In response to the presence of American Jupiter ballistic missiles in Italy and Turkey, and the failed Bay of Pigs Invasion of 1961, Soviet First Secretary Nikita Khrushchev agreed to Cuba's request to place nuclear missiles on the island to deter a future invasion.
