Not that impressive if you consider population and vast, really vast amounts of land that have gigantic natural resources and lack of any real power blocking them from the east.

Basically with that base anyone could do it (I don't dispute that having a gun pointed at your and your family head wasn't mobilizing for scientists, but that's normal for authoritarian states).
Well said. No code tools can work brilliantly when they are aimed at a specific domain and don't try to be too general.
> Yet you can distribute the weight of a structure on larger bases.

In the case of solid objects, indeed. This is because in solids atoms are bonded together and so the weight can distribute. An easy and extreme case of this last statement is to imagine standing on a bridge. Your weight is supported not just by the part of the bridge underneath you, but, via transmission, by the two end points attached to land.

In liquids, the atoms are not bonded, so the same distribution cannot happen.
One person with over 25 years in IT will tell you not to generalize. We're all different. I keep in touch with people i worked with 25 years ago, even across different countries and continents. I am a contractor so I change jobs roughly every year. I still go out with friends i met at work, and i have brought many of them into projects i started at other companies. I also have been hired by people i worked with previously. People are precious. The fact that you work with them 8 hours/day doesn't make them less so. I won't talk about the difficult ones, there's always that category too

Getting mad when losing - you've chosen to interact in a friendly way, but getting pissed off when you're wrong, that's just not fair. You lose the fight, you own up to it.

Also, dive bars over serve, almost as a rule, in spite of the post. Getting drunk and hitting on women or men to excess, I dunno. hard to explain. If you're polite, you can get absurdly drunk. Don't inflict your drunken-ness on others.

I realize after a moment #1 is confusing, especially for non Americans.

it's always ok to introduce yourself. if you get a grunt in response, it's a lack of interest. in the south, you might get a warm welcome, because that's just hospitable.

There's a bit of reading involved. If people try to engage you in conversation, asking you questions is a good example, you're welcome to participate. A dive is generally older men drinking away their pensions. But it's diverse, lots of ages, genders and income levels. You just sorta have to read the audience. Feel free to stick around for perhaps 5 minutes and listen, but if you're ignored, you're probably not welcome. An American would be loud and pushy and "be an asshole"

That is mostly because you only get to be famous as a hull designer if you make "beautiful" hulls (ie for yaghts and stuff), and beauty is very difficult to express mathematically. The people designing containers ships don't draw their lines by hand but rely on large amounts of computing power to compute hull stresses and squeeze every last bit of storage space out of their designs.

As an interesting anecdote, when I was still working for the (Dutch) navy they had a project going on to use constraint solvers to generate new submarine designs. The design team would generate 10 designs every week, take them to the sub guys who would spot new problems ("there is no bathroom close to the command deck" for example) and then go back and translate all the problems into new constraints for the solver. Later iterations even had VR models so they could "walk" through the virtual ship.

When I implemented search for my app, I built a hierarchy of the different attributes weighted by levels and scored search phrases for how closely they matched. This is for mobile phones. For example, searching for "Silver iphone 11 pro" would give a higher ranking to all iphone 11 pros that are Silver, then comes differently coloured 11 Pros, followed by 11 Pro Max and 11s, lastly all silver coloured phones.

I found ubuntu mono to be one of the best in term of identifying those characters, with l and 1 being immediately identifiable, but O is only slightly larger than 0 so it can still be mistaken for a 0 if you are not careful (0 has a dot so it can not be mistaken with O).

I don't know of any monospace font where O can easily be identified as such and not mistaken with 0.

edit: see a sample here: https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Ubuntu+Mono?category=Monos...

Every character is easily identifiable by itself, except for O. I'm also curious if anyone has a monospace with better identifiably for O and 0.

> As a farmer why would you want to pay for a machine that is idle most of the year outside of harvest time?

Because you want to invest in your business? So that, once it's paid off, you can stop giving part of your profits to someone else? You know, the old 7-year-payoff rule of thumb? That old chestnut?

This is the problem with most industries in our over-capitalized system now. In every sector, large companies are trying to monopolize at least a horizontal -- if not an entire segment -- so that they can extract rent from the market forever. The very notion that people are allowed to own things, and not pay service fees till the end of their life, is utterly vanishing, from huge farm machinery to freaking light bulbs. Letting companies permanently insert themselves into our daily use of their products is a total change of mindset, and one which people over 40 will probably never be comfortable with.

There's something fundamentally opposed to the idea of a free society when you have a dozen companies requiring constant access to your homes and appliances and cars and personal electronics at all times, in order to keep them running in any useful way. Beyond simple monopolization, every company is doing it. This is quickly leading to an almost collusive situation where there are entire product categories are becoming exclusively IoT devices, with soon-to-follow subscription fees, and there will be no other practical alternatives.

If you work through the math for CUPED, you'll see that only the aggregate correlation term can be interpreted as being "per-unit" -- all of the other terms in the equation are the same terms you use in your post.

Insofar as I think your intuition is leading you somewhere, I think it's leading you towards a realization that a "diff in diff" approach rather than regression adjustment can increase variance in some settings. But regression adjustment is provably better in essentially all circumstances: the only settings in which it is ever worse than no adjustment are outlined clearly in https://projecteuclid.org/journals/annals-of-applied-statist...
The Orbiter Space Simulator (http://orbit.medphys.ucl.ac.uk/) has been one of the major realistic-ish space simulators of the decade.

Development has slowed down in the last years due to the obligations of its sole author, so seeing it be open-sourced with a free license (MIT) is a great opportunity to rekindle its development! It seems that the first priorities would be to upgrade the code to 64-bits and transition to a more recent version of DirectX.
IME the stronger labs have accepted the fact that software skills are key to their work, and embraced python, jupyter etc.
Years ago I had a similar thought to parent, only without the dock. I figured phones would have micro projectors to throw a display on any convenient wall and a laser keyboard[0] to throw onto a table.

These days I no longer think that'll happen largely because the kinds of things people want a desktop computer for are really much better served by an actual computer, while mobile users have adapted to not even wanting a desk.

> Can someone help me understand the no-code movement and what supposedly has changed in the last few years?

It's a basic error of attribution.

We need complex systems, and we build them typically by text source, which is the most efficient way of coding a system (as we've found over the decades).

Because the source looks arcane to an untrained eye, people attribute the complexity to the form of the code: text source, and not to the nature of the systems being built, which have some natural level of complexity.

Hence we try to alter the source form in some visual "friendly" way and believe we've achieved further simplicity. Demos looks attractive by connecting 3-4 high-level blocks together that make milkshake, or whatever.

In real world projects, using these visual systems end up even more complex and much less flexible than text source. Rinse and repeat.

I switched all my text editors and terminals to Cascadia PL these last few years, after having tried the Windows Terminal. Microsoft really came out with a near perfect coding font for me with this one. I used to be a Source Code Pro guy.

The only caveat with Cascadia is that it needs fairly high DPI to be nice looking with the bold weight.
I wanted to do the same a few years ago. I didn't even reach that point, as I was interested in doing 90s games. Pretty much every game I tried was compiled with watcom, which ghidra doesn't know, so cannot apply any tricks when analyzing. Watcom even has its own calling convention which ghidra doesn't understand, so the pseudo C code for most functions was almost useless. Already gave up at that point.
Too bad the title broke the meter. How about, "I've Got a Broken Combine Harvester, Please Give Me the Key"?

>Further digging into CFs behaviour reveals: "The Accept-Encoding header is not respected and will be removed.". It appears they decide what to compress based on UA. Again, this doesnt sound like any upstream middlebox protection, as they strip the header anyway - i.e. it never gets forwarded to origin, so its got nothing to do with upstream provider.

Most browsers won't offer Brotli, hence UA Analysis is more reliable.

>Point me at the issue in squid where it cant handle an unknown encoding.

Not necessarily squid itself, but i know plenty of middleware boxes that have these issues, in part they are based on squid. Sophos is an example if you run an older box.

> it could be they have applied this mitigation in reverse, to http instead of https. http://www.breachattack.com/#mitigations

But where is proof of that

>You are the one wanting to redefine what transport means.

Not really, you're the one wanting to put the world into 7 boxes.

>Its not - feel free to quote a single line from that article that talks about whether they are talking about transfer encoding or content encoding.

Look for "How does CF handle Brotli?" then read the paragraph after.

>Im not sure what you find rude about it?

Your response was condescending at best.

>Again, this doesnt sound like any upstream middlebox protection, as they strip the header anyway - i.e. it never gets forwarded to origin, so its got nothing to do with upstream provider.

The middlebox will foward the UA in almost all cases, so from CF's perspective, a middlebox will look like a normal user agent with possible Brotli capabilities.

I think you're confusing middleboxes and proxies with the reverse proxy people commonly put behind Cloudflare here, which while technically a middlebox is rarely called that.

Letters seem to have been universal in my family going back. There's a few cases like oh and then he moved out at 17 to the city 40 mi away, and one permanent cross-continental relocation by motorbike at 19 in the 1960s. Plenty of nearly estranged. But no one actually fully severed the connection, as far as I know.
Photoshop and Illustrator's UIs are so illogical, arbitrary and tooltip-free they give skilled users Stockholm syndrome. GIMP's UI is logical and good, and you have 10x the odds of finding something you've never looked for before quickly than you do with Photoshop.

In a REAL capitalistic market system, this situation offers a GOLDEN opportunity for a competitor to introduce an easily repairable option, with better service options. But the truth is that there are precious few markets left in the US that you could consider to be "free." Meanwhile, the conservatives decry any sort of change to what we have as SOCIALISM, as though that were the dirtiest word they could utter.
I’m American, and first heard this phrase at an event sponsored by the Dutch consulate general at SF MoMA maybe 20 years ago. I heard the version, makt das normal (Sorry if I didn’t conjugate ‘make’ properly).

It was described to me as the go-to or default when you don’t know what to do. Translates to ‘do normal’. (Like Young MC’s ‘Bust a move’, haha).

That seemed like good advice from a country with permissive drug policies. When things get crazy, do normal. I think of this when I see youth with full face piercings or whole body tattoos working normal retail jobs. Like they went crazy, and then did normal. Of course that’s just my imagination, but life is like that sometimes (whether you wear the scars on the inside or on the outside).

When I look up the phrase today, web results show the imperative, ‘be normal’.
I think you are making a lot of assumptions here. Were it even the one responsible for hiring that misbehaved?

It is correct to be angry about this, but your answer seems to be vindictive. Next step is to wait for the verdict.

> So without intervention this toxicity will tend to spread.

Most businesses operate without sexual misdemeanor happening. On the contrary, I doubt the measures now announced by Kotick will ever be non-toxic. Because here you institute a group that will turn on random employees as they see fit. It is the wrong medicine in my opinion.

Useful would be to accuse the people responsible and use the law against them in a court of justice without arbitration.

Kotick voted for group punishment and I don't really understand how anyone would want to work at Activision to be honest because that isn't the way to get a non-toxic workplace. I doubt we will see much cooperation here.

He handed me the dump and explained how to make a printable of the machine code. I then had to hand compile a variable list, and work out the dataflow across the serial port so he could write the spec of the database and record structure and code a server to match. He never saw the original code.

All I can remember is wasting a week decoding the bios calls that wrote bytes as 4 bits shifted and masked into the serial port buffer. Because nobody would explain to me what was going on I didn't know what "level" of thing I had. The guy coding the clone had a good laugh at my expense when he explained I'd just documented the CP/M bios calls to do serial i/o...

Personally I think his dump was tainted. I suspect a good IPR lawyer could tear him a new one.

I still talk with my parents from time to time. My brother does the same - but less. For me, it's a sense of, They didn't mean to be the way they were. They just were severely undeveloped people, who were reactionary and fearful. I also recognize how hard being a parent is - especially when you're in a marriage that brings out the worst in each other.

I know that cutting them off completely would be very painful for them, so, I put up with some BS from time to time just shield them from that pain. I'm in a good place, so they don't disturb my peace too much, but I have to be mindful about it.

“Usucapio” is still part of the legal system in many countries. Someone who illegally occupies property can become the holder of property rights after a few years if they don’t get kicked out. So I’d say no, it’s usually not safe to leave a house completely unattended for years on end.
