This feels so true to me. I think this is the biggest reason that things feel so unfair to many average people. because the resources required to get good service in almost every meaningful endeavor are just totally unobtainable to people so you either make yourself an expert in everything or get screwed left and right.

This is starting to push me in the direction of off grid/ sustainable living just to minimize these dependencies

> “The law enforcement approach to public health offers a rationale for the endless suspension of civil liberties,” they explained. Using post-9/11 expansions of state power as its framework, the group explained that “the ‘Global War on Terror' may go on for a generation, but the war on disease will continue until the end of the human race. There will always be a new disease, always the threat of a new pandemic. If that fear justifies the suspension of liberties and the institution of an emergency state, then freedom and the rule of law will be permanently suspended.”
Could you elaborate on other systems besides Ballista? (which looks great btw, thank you for sharing)
according to kendi's framework, you would be a racist.
That particular example seems like something that's probably a lot cheaper than you'd initially think. The OS has to constantly take mouse input anyway to move the pointer and dispatch events to userspace. It also needs to record the current and new position of the mouse pointer to dispatch the events. Detecting whether the mouse is being "shaken" can be done with a ring buffer of mouse velocities over the last second or two of ticks. At 60 fps, that's about 120 ints = 480 bytes. Since you don't need to be precise, you can take Manhattan distance (x + y) rather than Euclidean distance (sqrt(x^2 + y^2)), which is a basically negligible computation. Add up the running total of the ring buffer - and you don't even need to visit each element, just keep a running total in a variable, add the new velocity, subtract the velocity that's about to be overwritten - and if this passes a threshold that's say 1-2 screen widths, the mouse is being "shaken" and the pointer should enlarge. In total you're looking at < 500 bytes and a few dozen CPU cycles per tick for this feature.
Windows 10 is a really great OS marred by unfortunate business choices: ads, telemetry, settings scattered to the four winds, everything being so frickin' bloated you need 8 GiB and an SSD just to run Word acceptably.

It's funny because Windows went from "too unstable to be relied upon for anything" in the 9x era to "death by a thousand papercuts" today. It's like it's ruled by a law of conservation of awesome: for every feature there must be an equal and opposite misfeature.
Love it. A feature suggestion is to add a link to the Archive.org page for the song.

One more point about this: the date on the publication isn't necessary the effective date. If it's a journal that says "May 1999" that doesn't mean the date is May 1. It would be the date that it became available to persons in the art.

Getting a librarian to say "yes, we cataloged it and made it available on May 5" would be pretty strong. Or a Wayback Machine archive from May 2.

Nah, you just need enough people to review the fixes. If at the end everyone is unhappy with the results, you're good to go.
I recently switched my SSH servers to only listen to IPv6. They're still on port 22, and still pointed to by DNS, yet, while they received bot connection attempts every few seconds when listening for IPv4, they haven't received a single bot connection attempt in the last week since I made the switch.

Bots apparently simply don't bother with IPv6.
> structural inequity despite it being pervasive in America since its founding

America is not unique in this. And African-Americans are not the only people in the world who were enslaved. What is unique is that America and Americans are so good at controlling narratives and sucking oxygen out of rooms that other stories and catastrophes are forced into irrelevance.
I have read a lot of crypto articles recently, and yet the community cannot answer this: How do you account for the global population growth (and consequently GDP growth) that is constantly in need for a relatively stable exchange medium for value of goods produced?
Cycle: More people > more production > more money

Money is a tool to fuel production. Controlled inflation/devaluation fuels growth, as long as it is backed by actual production (tied to economic output).

Contrast this with popular crypto examples: Germany (WWI), Venezuela, Greece, Argentina, Lebanon, etc. countries that dramatically devalued their currency without an increase in production = corruption of value.

The problem with any limited supply is that it benefits and incentivizes hoarders and non-producers, having nonbeneficial effects for society as a whole.

Is the US really that corrupt? Or is the entire crypto narrative a marketing scheme by speculators & scammers?

Or, for a darker spin, "absolve yourself of responsibility if anyone misuses your API". I actually think OpenAI gets this right with GPT-3, having fairly strict terms of use for their API, so I'm sad to see seemingly less responsible players enter the space.
My bad, for some reason assumed you were talking about bet sizes.

Starting stack sizes were static, but I don't think it's something important. They varied during the course of play. If you're playing cash instead of tournament you'd just need to set each player's stack sizes when they join the table.
I strongly recommend Simpletask (disclosure, I've sent a couple PRs). Not visually polished, but functionality is the best, bar none: Lua scripts allow extensive customization of your workflow. Free & open source. Only on F-Droid due to asinine Play Store policies.
To add, I'm not American, but if I saw the same graph spikes in my election I'd probably do the same, regardless of candidates.

Has the web figured out ad serving? I was under the impression that malvertising was still very much an issue and even best-in-class security doesn't outright stop things like cryptominers, but instead simply prevents them from consuming too many resources. It's better than wherever MS used here, but I'm definitely not comfortable using the web without an adblocker.
So I should print out one for everyone in America and pull it out with every conversation to reference it?

If America is going to switch to metric it is going to require a concerted effort to influence everyone, not flash cards.

They need to gradually phase it in. Since road signs last ~7 years they should pass legislation stating all new road signs must have kph under mph by 2029. Legislation to say by 2036 they must have kph on top with mph minimized underneath. By 2045 all must just display kph. Everything else much have a similar phased approach. By 2050, no more imperial.

There's no standard bit position for that flag, unfortunately, or even a standard interpretation (flag set -> quiet/signaling). A NaN just have to have at least one bit set in its significand to distinguish the NaN from an infinity.

(So the fact that a binary value is a NaN is portable, but not the distinction between qNaN and sNaN.)
> disable the battery performance optimization setting

If you can't find the option to disable the battery performance optimization setting (Settings -> Battery -> Battery Health) its because your iPhone has yet to have an issue with peak current from the battery so is currently running as normal.

The option to disable battery performance only becomes avaliable once such an event has happened.
You describe a reasonable minority critique of the use of Big 5 for latent variable theorizing. That some "enthusistic users" of Big 5 mis-apply it or claim unjustified confidence in downstream conclusions does not at conflict with my comment that you are responding to. Indeed, a similar critique can be leveled even more strongly at the other purported psychological findings mentioned in the blog post.
Then doesn't a patent have to more precisely describe the "scheduler" mechanism or can they leave that out? If so. How can I know that I am not infringing the patent? My entity component system which is > 4 years old already does automatic scheduling with batches (what Unity calls chunks) to optimize the memory layout.

I was contemplating the shortages the other night while sitting around a fire.

It hit me that the problem is the whole global system is now just one big Just-In-Time (JIT) system built from smaller JIT units of industry which is a collection of yet more JIT factories.

It's JIT all the way down!

And JIT doesn't work well when the spice isn't continuously flowing.

> Windows is probably the most important piece of software in the entire world

It's absolutely not. The amount of things that use the Linux kernel for critical network and infrastructure projects, that are mostly hidden to the public... Or that are built on a foundation of something with a clear Linux heritage.

Windows is probably the most visible important piece of software with a GUI.
>Nobody cares about making the AI's output correct, they just want it to agree with them.

that is the 4th industrial revolution, the "post-correct" world where abundance of information (and its consumers) and speed of its production allows for and results in co-existence of multiple truths (kind of like hyperbolic geometry where one can draw through a point multiple different lines parallel to the given line) with the information space splitting into multiple feudal times like dukedoms.

Anyway, in general for biases i think we have D.Rumsfeld situation - the known/expected biases are known while the AI driven world would most probably bring new biases that we don't even expect.
US will never pull out of FVEY the reach they get is the main reason they started the alliance. The US doesn’t need massive overseas bases in places where it may not be possible or feasible when it has partners like Australia and New Zealand.
I've done 84/wk for the better part of a year. With commuting it was well over 90. Didn't bother me too bad at the time, but took a toll on my health and pretty much everything else in life. I wouldn't recommend it just for the health reasons if nothing else, but those other things that just didn't get done were important too. I'll also say that jobs are ephemeral, and there's really not much benefit to going all-in like that on any of them. Apart from larger amounts of cash in a shorter amount of time (and much higher tax burden), I have nothing to show now for that kind of dedication to my employer's cause. It's not like you'll learn more, you'll just work more and the job becomes your life.

Biggest issue is that the efficiency of telescopes at detecting faint point sources scales as (mirror diameter)^4th power -- strongly favors large telescopes over arrays of small ones.

With asteroids, you don't need to diff telescopes at different locations; you can just diff the image taken at one location, 15 minutes apart.

ECS is bog standard in a lot of smaller game engines. It’s not new, I first worked with it ~2010 while hacking some Flash stuff together, and I use it frequently when I hack together games in other engines. I’m really baffled by how Unity would be able to patent this.

> they must have a routine that’s constantly taking mouse input

Possible but unlikely. Well-written desktop software never constantly taking input, it's sleeping on OS kernel primitives like poll/epoll/IOCP/etc waiting for these inputs.

Operating systems don't generate mouse events at 1kHz unless you actually move the mouse.
I'd initially responded, but I found that my response had an element of a pissing match over whose data is bigger, so I deleted it.

The thing is - when two engineers get smug, oftentimes lots of fairly interesting technical details get exchanged, so such discussions aren't really useless to bystanders.
Is Coca-Cola a sugary drinks company, a logistics company, or a technology company producing hardware, software, chemical engineering processes and countless other disciplines to enable international scale methods and logistics employed in delivering various liquids and other goods all over the globe?
This is a flawed argument; Netflix is a tech company that dabbles in TV shows (and films). It has the best recommendation engine (and not a commodity) and nothing else comes closer. There is a possibility that it may merely switch to "cloud-generated" characters with multiple plotlines in the same series and its gaming ambitions must be understood in this light.
If you use traditional metrics to understand the company, it wouldn't make sense. Why is the company losing more money than it earns from subscriptions? The amount of granular data it has on films (and increasingly on the people's choices) will make it easier to predict the choices users will make.
Hollywood's movies rely on "gut-feeling and formulaic approach" to film making. Netflix will replace it with data.
Or is it that Ben-Evans missed the initial hype around Netflix and couldn't invest? Its easier to take pot-shots on the blog and call it a commodity.
Bandersnatch was an initial experiment. There's more to come with "immersive filmmaking" and "story-telling".
It was the 90s, a new era of peace and friendship, and besides- who was going to shoot at who? The Americans (and Europeans, etc) are just down the hall.
Thanks. Yeah, I think I used that years ago when I first ran into this problem, and it worked well. Whether one uses an ORM or not, one needs to know how to use one's tools. My problem (not just with Django, but with ORMs in general) is how they make bad code look good. Like the following (I don't know Django well anymore, but something like this):

users = User.objects.all()
for u in user:
print(u.name, len(u.comments))

To someone who doesn't know the ORM (or Python) well, u.comments looks cheap ("good"), but it's actually doing a db query under the hood each time around the loop ("bad"). Not to mention it's fetching all the comments when we're only using their count. Whereas if you did that in a more direct-SQL way:

users = select('SELECT id, name FROM users WHERE id IN $1', user_ids)
for u in user:
num_comments = get('SELECT COUNT(*) FROM comments WHERE user_id = $1', u.id)
print(u.name, num_comments)

This makes the bad pattern look bad. "Oops, I'm doing an SQL query every loop!"

The other thing I don't like about (most) ORMs is they fetch all the columns by default, even if the code only uses one or two of them. I know most ORMs provide a way to explicitly specify the columns you want, but the easy/simple default is to fetch them all.

I get the value ORMs provide: save a lot of boilerplate and give you nice classes with methods for your tables. I wonder if there's a middle ground where you couldn't do obviously bad things with the ORM without explicitly opting into them. Or even just a heuristic mode for development where it yelled loudly if it detected what looked like an N+1 issue or other query inside a loop.
I built my own cross-platform windowing/event API from scratch at my last job, based on top of win32 on Windows, Cocoa on Mac and Qt on Linux. The only platform where there was any noticeable performance drops at all was Linux, because it relied on Qt.

When I said "I don't understand the technical reasons behind it", I didn't mean "I don't understand how to abstract OS-native APIs". I meant "I don't understand how a team of intelligent people managed to fuck things up this badly".
Thanks for the thoughtful analysis and napkin math. You may very well be right. I wonder if this is true in practice or if they suffer from any interface abstractions and whatnot.

Not the bolts, the wrong NUTS. The bolts were the original: the mechanic wanted to change them. They asked for replacements and were shown a box of parts from which they selected the nuts and re-used the bolts.

From reading the OP it appears the failure was the replacement nuts, not the re-used bolts.

We can refer to both now as acts because — in what is an increasing trend in the Australian Parliament — the bills flew through both houses in a single day.

Why is this an increasing trend? Voting is mandatory…so are voters more trusting of their institutions or just apathetic?

Voting is compulsory at federal elections, by-elections and referendums for those on the electoral roll, as well as for State and Territory elections. Australia enforces compulsory voting.[24] People in this situation are asked to explain their failure to vote. If no satisfactory reason is provided (for example, illness or religious prohibition), a fine of up to $170 is imposed,[25] and failure to pay the fine may result in a court hearing and additional costs. About 5% of enrolled voters fail to vote at most elections

It depends on what your server does with each request though; '65B a day' means little. If all it does is write it to a log then I'm surprised you're not using a rPI.
“Weak reasons” obviously heavily dependent on priorities at the time, which can change quickly. On small companies it has a massive impact on others and that shouldn’t be taken lightly.

I had a previous boss that hired someone senior to do X but their expectations of the role quickly changed and they were fired for not performing well enough. They jumped from a good job stable job and took a risk, asking all the right questions about the role but CEO/CTO never lived up to their side of what the role ended up being.

This same CEO also admitted to me part of their management style was “push people to breaking point, and back off a little” to get the most out of people. I left soon after.

I don’t know how to avoid working with this kind of leadership personality in the interview process but has definitely made me more cautious.
The search function in Windows 10 is pathetic. It almost seems like an April fool's joke that was left in place for too long.
