I have had something similar. I was trying to import/convert a bunch of flaac files (which apple cant read and requires they be converted to apple lossless.)

But i tend to be cloud adverse. So my library is on a NAS.

When my mac mini blew it up, i had to restore my entire music library. Then every single file could not be found..So I deleted the entire itunes library (which deleted the music folder structure, i thought i told it not too, but it could have been my fault). So i restored the directory structure again, and then had to re-import and rebuild the library.

All playlists were gone. Play counts, favorites, checked songs (because itunes loves to convert things and make duplicates) were gone and needing to be redone.

And now it seems it wont recognize flaac files anyhow.

I have been meaning to setup something like Navidrome and be done with it but i dont really like the thought of another self hosted server.

There are probably "some scholars" that have argued for just about anything, but certainly the majority of knowledge on these treats them as different topics.

That varies by jurisdiction. Some US states require criminal negligence or offer affirmative defenses with regard to the defendant's belief as to the victim's age.
Sure, and everyone complains about that on Win10 because it sucks there, too. Windows the OS has improved greatly over the years, in many ways, but the UI has mostly not improved, or has even regressed, since, oh, I dunno, win98/2k. Maybe WinXP.
Ah okay. Yeah these are VM's running on an ESX cluster in a datacenter, I wouldn't want to sit in front of one. It'd be noisy and awkward since you can't use the desktop from an ESX console.

A waitress can't keep telling a customer their food is coming when they've actually lost the order ticket and have no clue what was ordered anymore, just because other customers aren't having the same issue.

Well, I guess she can in this case, and other customers will happily come to her defense!
If you charge every night, 1000 cycles is about 3 years.

Then they have to be replaced. And there STILL ISN'T any system or process for recycling lithium (lab only, nothing deployed or near to deployment for 5-10 years best case).

Part of why I used lead acid batteries for my solar storage - it's cheap, ubiquitous and environmentally far more green than lithium because of the existent network for lead and lead-acid recycling. Plus if it doesn't move (it doesn't) the much higher weight isn't a problem.
It could also be that the company was trying to squeeze too much out of them as an IC.
"single" might be a better name. The Kotlin standard library uses that name for a variant of the "filter" method (on collections) that returns a single matching element or throws an exception if there are more or fewer.

I don't know about punishment, but the recovery rate for stolen/extorted crypto is much higher than for fiat cash.

This is likely an issue of sophistication -- crypto hackers don't have decades of "best practices" knowledge to draw from, and may also feel a false sense of security.
I didn't say it makes it a strong point. But deceitful numbers greatly weaken it.

That is, with how off the idea that 4 year old can't take language is, I didn't make it to the argument. And I am sympathetic to the idea that animals can pick up on language.
The fact that you and other anglophones call the indigenous Scottish variety of Gaelic simply "Gaelic" is a pretty good example of why I continue to be very, very suspicious of those who insist upon "Scots" being a language fully distinct from English, and not a dialect - and insist upon calling it by that name.

The Irish and Scottish varieties of the Goidelic language family have far less mutual intelligibility than the English and Scottish varieties of English. Scottish English forms a pretty smooth continuum between "English with a Scottish accent", and what you'd call "Scots" or "Lallans".

But Scottish Gaelic is the tongue that gets the downgrade to "Gaelic", despite it being simply called Scottish for the vast majority of Scotland's history. Despite it literally being the reason for the country's name.

Scottish English was literally only called "Scottis" instead of "Inglis" as the Lowlanders gained a greater sense of national identity and distinctiveness from the English further south. At that point, funnily enough, the Goidelic spoken in Scotland ceased to be called "Scottis", and became "Erse" instead.

It is quite impossible to separate this insistence on distinguishing "Scots" from English, from suppressive efforts towards the indigenous Gaelic language of Scotland. You can see the exact same dynamic in Northern Ireland, where unionists play up the supposed variety of "Scots" spoken by the Ulster planters and their descendants as a fully distinctive language equal to Irish, as a means to delegitimize Irish as the primary indigenous language of the land.

I don't say all of this from a place of antipathy towards the speakers of "Scots". One need only read some Burns to see that the variety of English spoken in Scotland diverged heavily from the varieties spoken further south, and that diversity is beautiful. But the label is politically charged, and fundamentally it is a weapon - and always has been - pointed in the direction of Gaelic-speakers.

This is pretty much why all the desktop Linux experiences fail. The major linux apps were all developed for different desktop experiences and so there's no consistency, even on things as basic as copy/paste shortcuts. It's very hard to get that without a powerful dictator shepherding the overall ecosystem and it's the achilles heel of FOSS for GUIs.
Yeah, when you're doing the 1% of super complicated stuff, definitely don't use this (and opt for the underlying database driver directly). But when you're doing the 99%, it's great! Unlike with stateful ORMs, there is no temptation to do the 1% using some obscure orm methods and never heard of option params. Just write the sql.
I recommend the following rules to organizations that are hoping to maintain or maximize employee engagement. I may have missed a few.

1. Do not lie to new hires during the hiring process. I know this is a hard one because you want to sell the company, but it is important to set expectations appropriately. Unmet expectations (created by the company) will ultimately be paid by the company in full.

2. Do not antagonize new hires during the sign on and orientation process. Choose the employees that manage or take part in the sign on/orientation process very carefully.

3. Do not move employees down the organizational hierarchy as a consequence of a re-organization. This is so common that I think most managers don't even register that it's happening. Breaking this rule is more likely to diminish the engagement and foster the exodus of long-term employees. While that may be the entire point of the reorg currently disengaged employees have less engagement to diminish so the reorg is more likely to have a negative impact on highly engaged employees.

4. Don't measure employee engagement by how often the employee comes and talks to you. If you're making decisions based on what you are hearing from the employees that are always at your door, then may God help you (especially if those employees are above you in the management chain, because in that case you are not actually making any decisions).

5. Equally enforce the professional standards of conduct set by the organization. Every company has fuck-ups. Stories of how the company deals with those fuck-ups will be passed down to future generations. In some cases those stories will literally define the company. An organization that is not equally enforcing professional standards of conduct is not meeting employee expectations.

Not that I know of. TypeScript has had some major adoption over vanilla JavaScript over the past few years, I used it a bit when it was relatively new and now it is pretty common to see it advertised on job specs but I have never seen Deno once, maybe they use it in "ployglot" shops where everybody uses more esoteric languages but I haven't seen it advertised anywhere.
Because economics be a cruel mistress that leaves a lot of people in permanent financial distress and working people into the grave because they still haven't saved up sufficiently is incredibly dismal and depressing.

It is more or less exactly this. Texas Instruments invests in extensive marketing aimed at teachers, school districts, and university math departments. They get a lot of free teacher training and materials centered around TI calculators, to induce them to require all new students to buy a $100+ Texas Instruments graphing calculator every year.

> My personal guess is the “not being good at math” originates from this, at least in part. It’s a confidence killer for sure that on one had you are being forced to do something unnatural (memorize weird looking formulas) and on the other give a somewhat easy, yet demeaning, way out by saying “it’s ok, you are just not good at math”.

Honestly, it is more direct at the instructors instead of the mathematics itself. I am not good with math because of the instructors' pedagogy. Honestly, I do like math and enjoy doing it (Khan's Academy helps a lot!). It is their approach with mathematics is the issue. Their pedagogy are not standardized enough to have consistency with each level of mathematics. There are instructors who dismissed their student's previous instructor because their former instructor gave them the shortcut or a shorter method while the new instructor are doing the same thing. Now you have a student who have a jumbled information of mathematics and that is difficult for the student to be able to relearn a new information while they can't erase/forget the previous method.

Also I am curious why it is difficult for instructor to explain HOW and WHY that solution is the correct answer? It is like they don't want to teach the concept of mathematics which is vital for critical thinking, IMO. When I asked the instructor of this question (this is in college), their answers is "It is the way I was taught in school" and I felt that is dismissive and hand-waving away the question.

Instructors are not entirely at fault because they also received the similar education in the past as we do. The mathematics pedagogy and the curriculum need a massive restructuring and cohesive way to teach the students to ensure that the students can use the previous knowledge to the next level of mathematics for consistency without changing or influencing the students to forget everything.
I am sorry but those tray icons are horrific. I don't think they would have looked modern or clean or nice at any time. Just bad design for any era.
I'm a heavy user of the "firefox containers" feature, where I try to isolate the social media sites to their own containers (twitter, facebook etc) and also one for reddit. I've also got one for google products as well as I try to use DDG most of the time.

Anyway I wish FF had a feature that broke down the cookies PER container, so I could purge any ones that might have snuck in due to a lapse in my judgement, e.g. if I see facebook cookies in my "twitter" container then I'd like to purge them for that particular container only.

FF only allows you to do a global purge.

EDIT: I can see this bug was raised 3 years ago which suggests it _used_ to be a feature that got removed, but sounds like it was never put back in/low priority/WONTFIX. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1480175
I think there may be some misunderstanding. I'm using "Linux Desktop" to denote the collection of all software for Linux that provides the desktop experience. That includes all the distros, packaging formats, and whatnot.

If you compare Linux Desktop to other desktop operating systems it is catastrophically fragmented by comparison.

> Android is also a prime example of the same thing.

No, it really isn't, because I only have one package format that I have to package Android applications in and the only API I have to deal with is the Android API. Though of course that's a headache because of how new permissions and older APIs interact, but that's still a lot more straight-forward.
That makes me think, is there a tool or document about the intersections of features provided by DBs? For example, if you're building for Postgres and MySQL, is there a way to only use features supported by the two? Same for MySQL and SQLite, or Postgres and SQL Server?
I use a graph database for URLs. Either Semantic Synchrony or org-roam. That lets me keep any URL in as many categories as I'd like, and neat them however I want, or even create cycles if need be.
My take on your list of advantages of soviet math/physics approach is mixed.

Fully agreed with you on the rigor regarding notation, really good progression of teaching (pacing and order in which the material is introduced), and soviet math textbook exercises being well thought-out and entertaining.

Very much disagreed on the rest, as my main personal gripe with learning math+physics in Russia was that there was zero emphasis placed on understanding of principles and logic and 100% on memorization. I spent 3 years taking physics classes there, and I learned effectively nothing, having to relearn it from scratch in the US. And that was the moment where I truly felt I understood what was going on, instead of treating physics as just another memorization exercise for a variety of random unrelated formulas. Similar with math, but to a lesser degree, because with math I was personally invested and was trying to understand the material rather than memorize, despite it hurting my grades in Russia greatly.
I'd interpret the phrase "taking geometry" in this context to refer to the quality and depth of math education available, and to a lesser degree how wealthy the school district is.

Given typical HS math curriculum (algebra/geometry up to calculus) being able to offer geometry early gives enough time to offer calculus; otherwise a school could teach it late and it won't matter because math education stops early anyway.

Also connotes to a degree college-track vs non college-track students, again due to the highest math a HS offers. It is extremely desirable to take calculus in HS to prepare for college, but if most students don't go to college, no need to take/offer calculus, no need to start the math sequence early, etc.

I went to HS in the US and I remember a split in the math curriculum starting in 10th grade (I didn't go to my HS in 9th grade so I can't say). The vast majority of kids planning on college took a combined algebra 2/trigonometry class in 10th grade; the other kids took either algebra 1, geometry, or algebra 2 (without the trig) depending on previous courses.

So the comment "taking geometry in 8th vs 9th vs 10th grade" would mean something like comparing schools for numbers of college-track students and funding (8th grade great - implies a HS with a large body of students going to college, well funded in order to offer variety of classes; 10th grade not good - implies a HS with a small body of students going to college; not well funded, math stops before calculus, etc.)

While I can't say much about its handling when using it distributed, I have had some negative experiences with MinIO/ceph when handling files > 10G.

One example: missing error handling for interrupted uploads leading to files that looked as if they had been uploaded, but had not.

Both ceph and MinIO's implementations differ from AWS original S3 server implementation, in subtle ways. ceph worked more reliably, but IIRC, both for MinIO and ceph, there is no guarantee that a file you upload is readable directly after upload. You have to poll if it is there, which might take a long time for bigger files (I guess because of the hash generation). AWS's original behavior is to keep the socket open until you can actually retrieve the file, which isn't necessary better, as it can lead to other errors like network timeouts.

I got it working halfway reliably by splitting uploads into multiple smaller files, and adding retry with exponential backoff. Then I figured out that using local node storage and handling distribution manually was much more efficient for my use case.

So for larger use cases, I'd take the 'drop in' claim with a grain of salt. YMMV :)

These two situations are vastly different.

This is also a very eurocentric point of view that ignores that people were already living in the Americas.

dot product turns vectors into a scalar value, doing that for single vectors is a bad fit for SIMD. You can write SIMD code that efficiently computes multiple dot products in parallel but that needs a completely different vector layout.
Same. I quit at the end of April. I'm calling it a sabbatical and barring the unexpected I should be able to take a year. I was burnt out anyway. See the section titled "Leaving without a job" here https://lethain.com/deciding-to-switch/
Personall, the switch is too large for me to want to use it as a portable game player regularly, and the lite doesn't work with a TV, so I didn't consider it. Also, loading times for the Switch seem longer than my DS/2DS, but I haven't measured.

It also comes down to a matter of linguistics. English uniquely changed the name of the holiday to match up with local celebrations.
