I tried writing an program to do this ~10 years ago (I called it "Tweeter") using a system like Shazam. The problem is, Shazam can detect specific songs based on about a dozen different analysis points (found another use for poles and zeroes). But if the song is sped up or muffled, it differs too much from the source recording. Birdsongs are far more variable, even within the same species.

Ironically, at the time I discovered Cornell was doing this same thing, but it looks like they finally got to a product by throwing an ML classifier at it. Very cool, ML is perfectly suited for this.

The interesting thing I learned during my study was that there is an entire system of describing bird sounds with nonsense words ("skee-dlees chis chis chis") that goes back over a 100 years.
For anyone interested in these topics and how they developed, James Howard Kunstler's Geography of Nowhere [1] is an informative, if sad, read.

German here. We can and must blame politicians for handing out build permits in areas that once were flood beds for rivers that have been "straightened out".

Also, ffs we need to restore rivers to their natural beds again. The pictures of the flooded areas exactly show that the rivers took their millennia old paths back!
Unfortunately what you refer to as a “problem of currency losing value” is a feature for a government, not a bug. They want this because it allows them an additional path to taxation by diluting all existing holders of fiat.

The only way to prevent being diluted is to not hold fiat and end up in a situation where it is held only by government beneficiaries, i.e. that the government is inflating to pay people affected by inflation. Then their ability to inflate is de facto obliterated.
I know how to set the priority, question is how do you determine something is A,B or C.

Turning the bulb off for just 200ms might be increasing energy usage by itself. I know in older bulbs you had to leave them off for so many seconds/minutes before you gained any savings by turning them off. The amount of energy it takes to get them going far exceeds the amount needed to keep them running. There is also the problem of the bulb wearing out faster because of the constant switching on and off.
I have the same problem. It's far easier to summarize what someone else than to do it yourself.

You're quite welcome!
There are certain actors in the US political system who definitely believe the complexity/pain of filing is a feature, not a bug, as it leads people to associate taxes with pain instead of the benefits of living in a successful modern industrial democratic state.

Combine that with a tax prep lobby whose incentives are to sell you a solution.

The IRS could have made things as easy for most Americans as places like New Zealand did two decades ago.
Hey! As someone who isn't super familiar with this space, I'm a bit confused about who your target user is. At first I thought it was for people who have a mobile app and want to publish it on a bunch of stores, but the APIs are all about querying products and customers, so I guess it's for integrating with eCommerce platforms? A concrete example use case on your website would help explain this to me a lot!
People on Reddit were making the same complaints, even when I expressly wrote "It’s not a must have, but if you do have it, it’s a leg up." I think people are just rationalizing why they don't need to do anything, so they don't actually read the text of the articles/comments and just project what they want it to mean.

That's more Texas-marketing than anything else. It has a lot of things that smell a lot like zoning, they just don't call it that.

Deed restrictions to a lot of the work. There are also density restrictions.The city steers where it wants things with tax policy, a big chunk of the city is governed by airport (federal) rules, and then add in historic preservation, buffering ordinances, lot size restrictions and so on, and there is little surprise Houston looks just like everywhere else in the US.
I wasn't trying to dismantle an argument, just pointing out that the parent had no clue what they were talking about, and a little research would make for a stronger position to argue from (and save some embarrassment).

I actually prefer laptops with upgradeable components and I'm definitely weighing replacing my two aging Thinkpad laptops (running OpenBSD and Void Linux respectively) with the Framework Laptop. I had briefly considered a M1 MacBook Air but I already have a M1 Mac mini and I try to stay diverse between form factors. The specs on the Framework are fantastic; even the i5 is a powerhouse, comparable to i7 desktops from just two years ago[1]. With the modular bays I could easily have Void on the main storage and OpenBSD on a module and choose between the two. I already have compatible RAM and M.2 storage laying about so the DIY SKU is a no-brainer.

As for keyboards I'm right there with you; the higher travel on the Framework's keyboard is another selling point in my opinion.

Yes-because it is important to keep a clean distance from finished work.

Work as if you will resign on completion; it will enforce a sense of responsibility to document business processes, code, contacts-you name it.

And where toxic processes or customers do exist, it is important to remember that you have the power to walk away.
>the idea that "their" money might go to someone undeserving.

I'm also pretty miffed at how much money has been wasted in Afghanistan and Iraq. The federal government gives heaps of money to other nations to spend on frivolous projects while our own infrastructure decays. My frustration at taxes and spending goes beyond the trope of Americans not liking the idea of giving money to the poor.
For me while reading it was the first time I thought "hey nations are purely social/political constructs and not set into stone at all". Sounds trivial but that book changed my perspective on that matter.

I suppose that the cultural background (Old World here) might play a role here - I can imagine an American thinking "of course you can just get rid of the people exploiting your kind, we did that before already".
Yes, the Greens have been talking about it forever, but don't use it as a distraction from the fact that there were actually torrential rains and that most of these places were relatively safe without such torrential rains.
Interesting idea. I think the problem is with getting salty water everywhere. Salt is the main killer out on the ocean. Also, it you lower it enough you will end up with the blades in the water, I really don't think you want that during wavey weather.

Anyway, this extra height would solve a non-problem. It makes little difference if a human has to climb 100 or 300 meters. It's still work at heights - same kind of protocols and gear. If it's something that the humans can't fix (replace the gearbox or something massive) - then you need a crane anyway. Maybe the only issue would be with the waves moving the turbines enough to make the humans seasick at that height. Not sure, I can't see the whole article.

> Is there another level of patches below point releases for backported security patches

No, because its unecessary (in my experience)

> or are your options to upgrade to something that adds new features and may be backwards incompatible

It won't be backwards incompatible, otherwise they would leave the change for a new minor release.

Why would you not want a new feature (e.g. the new "clone plugin") if it gives you value now without any migration required (because of incompatibilities that may arise if all new features are left for minor versions which are reserved for incompatibilities)?
I have some personal experience with this. I think what you are trying to do is commendable. Group therapies are also pretty expensive and not accessible for most people except in extreme circumstances.

The thing is if you're having say, 10 people for a 1 hour session, that gives each person about 6 minutes to share. But really more like 4 - 5 minutes after overhead. I think that is still worth _something_ (12 dollars per session sounds about right, edit: you may be able to go a few dollars higher), but you are basically trading off quality and cost here. It's going to be hard to actually build a connection and make it meaningful.

(edit: to be clear - the cost here isn't necessarily the lever - whether you charge 5 dollars per session or 25 dollars per session - you will need to make the 1 hour meaningful for the 10 people who are in the meeting, which will be the hard part IMO)
Well we’ve done 2 over cities closely spaced with each other and also following a firebombing campaign that burned a lot more cities. If a burning city or forest was all that was required for a nuclear winter we’d have had one long ago. Forests burn without the aid of nuclear weapons.

To get to nuclear winter levels of ash and dust you probably need dozens to hundreds of detonations and burning cities.
Depends what you mean by 'hard'.

Anything by Greg Egan is probably going to be the hardest sci-fi you've ever read. Dude wrote a book where he considered the ramifications of a universe built on a positive-definite Riemannian metric, and another one where the universe has 2 time dimensions.

Robert L. Forward's Dragon's Egg explores what life might look like if it evolved on a neutron star.

Adrian Tchaikovsky's Children of Time and Children of Ruin explore the evolution of other earth species if they were given a kick towards sapience.

Vernor Vinge's A Fire Upon the Deep is half space adventure (not very hard) and half an exploration of a lifeform which only achieves sapience in small groups. A Deepness in the Sky is generally harder and explores a lot of things, including the power of focused human attention, the difficulty of galactic scale civilization, and alien life evolved in a star system where the star periodically dims.

Steven Baxter and Clarke collaborated on The Light of Other Days, which explores the technical and sociological consequences of a device which allows you to see the past.

With a broad interpretation of 'hard' I can highly recommend Ursula Le Guin's The Left Hand of Darkness and The Dispossessed, which have soft science but hard humanity.

Similarly The Long Earth series, a collaboration between Pratchett and Baxter, where it seems Baxter handles the sociological and technological consequences of the science while Pratchett handles the characters and philosophy.

Asimov's I, Robot is an exploration of what happens when you try to constrain intelligence with rules.

Asimov's Foundation Trilogy gets a lot of hype, but it isn't very hard and I also found it utterly mediocre. Instead I recommend The God's Themselves, which is so good it's like Asimov was channeling a much better writer to get his ideas down. It explores the limited interaction of our universe with one that has slightly different physical properties.

Also perhaps stretching the definition of 'hard', but I want to recommend it because it's relatively unknown, is Leonard Richardson's Constellation Games, in which an incredibly advanced multi-species anarchic alien civilization makes first contact with humanity, and the protagonist really just wants to play their video games. It's actually harder sci-fi than it sounds.
You have "Castle doctrine" because it was deemed politically beneficial to a politician at some point. That same politician that would happily turn your neighborhood into a strip mall through eminent domain if that was beneficial for them. You have banks literally foreclosing on the wrong homes, or through simple errors, making people homeless in the process, and those same politicians are "so sad".

If you're in a Western nation and you "make" money, it is very much a partnership with the state, and your ability to "make" money would very likely disappear without the state. For someone to go on about "their" money has no correlation with actual reality, and I'd encourage them to ply their trade in Somalia. I'm sure the income tax rates are great.
Some people are not well socialised and just like to insult programming languages, and by extension, judge and put down their users. We should extend pity to them. Or perhaps detached bemusement as in https://youtu.be/R00JE6QRbno?t=8546
> in your 30s it’s understood that you’re not going to walk your child past needles and homeless encampments to a 2/10 school.

You don't need to live in suburbs to achieve that, really. And in suburbs you dont walk child to school all that often, you drive them anyway.

> It’s also understood that doing anything about the needles and homeless encampments would be a human rights violation, even if somehow the money were available, which it’s not.

I mean this 100% seriously: you can actually do things about homelessness that are not human rights violations. Big amount of homelessness is literally consequence of policies - and not the ones that seek to help people.
"Without oversight" is stronger than reality as Trump's threatening of Powell illustrates. It is true that there is a strong culture of a politically independent, technocratic Fed. However this is a relatively recent invention by Volcker in the 80s. Volcker was pretty convincing about it's merits, hence it's survival, but even he was threatened by Reagan to not raise rates during the re-election campaign.

Property tax payment is very easy in the US, because it is usually done as part of your regular mortgage payment - people still dislike paying it.

The IRS is also a lot more helpful than commonly advertised - I once had a several thousand dollar expense reimbursement from work that my employer wrongly classified a miscellaneous untaxed payment to me. They didn’t attach any penalties, just sent a letter essentially saying “we think you forgot to include this in your income for YEAR, we think you owe $X + $Y interest.”(and the interest amount was very reasonable, like 3-4%)

I just emailed them a copy of the receipts and email I had sent to my employer when claiming reimbursement, and noted that I had not claimed those expenses on my tax return, if I had done , then it would have exactly matched the tax owed.

They replied a few weeks later telling me thanks and that I owed nothing extra.

I do worry about arbitrary abuse of government power in the US, particularly against those guilty of WRONGTHINK, but my personal experience was exactly what I would hope for as a citizen, professional, clear and timely.

I still would still like taxes to be lower - but if you told me I had to make a mandatory charitable donation of the same amount every year to a real charity, I would be fine with that. So in my case at least, it’s that I expect the unionized middle class government workers to get most of the benefit of my extra tax, not the poorest people in society who need it most (and who are usually presented as the need for such increased taxes)

Written by two economists, it's the only prescriptive definition of architecture that I've managed to find. Influenced me deeply.
That is right. I’ve answered a few questions in these comments where the answer is basically: It’s technically possible, there is a plausible market need, we think it is worthwhile to do, and we’ve designed for it architecturally, but we can’t commit to a specific date because there are always implementation risks, supplier risks (especially this year), and a large number of programs we have to prioritize between as a small team.

It kind of is?

When I have conversations about this, I encounter the term "object/relational impedance mismatch" a lot more often than I encounter people who really have a thorough understanding of what the term describes and why it exists.

It often seems to me like the way it functions in our profession is a lot like the way the word "quantum" functions in Deepak Chopra's vocabulary. It's not really a specific, definable thing, so much as an amorphous, esoteric cosmic principle that can be used as a universal logical connector for stitching together any arbitrary chain of reasoning.

Which is too bad. I don't think it's actually a particularly difficult concept, when you get down to it. But I do think that the fancy-sounding technical name for the concept tends to obfuscate its meaning by making it sound like a much bigger deal than it actually is.

Perhaps we run in different circles. I constantly notice compulsive smart phone use. At work it's very common to see 8 people load into an elevator and like clockwork 6 or 7 of them will instantly pull out their phones.

Any little piece of downtime where folks might have to be alone with their thoughts, or make small talk with people they don't already know, you can see people mindlessly grabbing their phones. You see this in line at the grocery store, kids and adults in school while do this while class starts, or the very second it ends.

You see a shocking number of people in restaurants who appear to be on dates where both people are glued to their phone. I'd certainly classify that as addictive behavior -- i.e. when a healthy young man is more interested in what's on his phone than he is in the attractive woman sitting across the table from him. Something is very wrong there.

I have a Wikipedia blog. Been doing it for over a decade. I post articles I find interesting, categorize and tag them, do some light copyediting, find/create a 300x300 pixel image to illustrate each, format them in a digestible feed, and added a random button.

For years people asked me why I bothered. I did it because I love Wikipedia and wanted a record of my wikiwalks, but it has also become a fun example of my style and interests to show prospective clients.

Sure, go ahead, make the federal reserve more politically accountable -- and watch as inflation spirals out of control because the tool to combat inflation (raising interest rates) is political poison.

So... I don't quite understand all the implications of a "fedcoin." Isn't it basically creating an alternative USD, which the Fed becomes obligated to keep in parity with regular USD?

What happens if a proverbial Soros messes starts exchanging these at massive rates? Does the Fed need to start printing USD (or stablecoin) to meet the demand? Parity is a hard problem. That's why we abandoned fixed exchange rate currency systems, for the most part.

Also, if Tether is anything to go by, demand for stablecoins is sky high already. The day the Fed decides to issue Fedcoin, demand could be trillions. The Fed would be receiving

Where i live, i know the whole water from a defined area flows through in a little stream. I know the areas watersheds and i know how much poured down in extreme cases. Thus i can mark the area on a topographic map, i can calculate the area and multiply it with the max amount of downpour.

In my area thats 4490887(m^2) ×0,2(m^3 water) = 898 177.4 ^ m3 max rain water. Now all i want is a model of what areas would be reached on a stream if it received this much water.

I know that some here are grumpy because there houses may loose value like a sinking ship very soon. But knowing is better then not knowing. Always.

No fluid-simulations needed, just a basic Topographic map fill the pond.
