The Shocking Revelation of Home Inspection in North York
If you are looking for the best home inspection in North York then you are on the right track. Awesome Home Inspection Services provides amazing house inspections. They check every minute detail and provide you a detailed report. People generally think whether they should go for house inspection or not, especially if you are buying a new house then it is difficult.
I'm also puzzled by the fact that EU is funding this. Usually states and state-like entities are exactly the ones who don't want people to use decentralized technologies, because they often make laws difficult or impossible to enforce.

In fact, wanting to circumvent laws is the only reason why people en mass would ever want to use decentralized technologies. I'm not necessarily always against this (there are some really stupid laws that should be broken), but I'm pretty annoyed by how people try to pretend that there is demand for these technologies for any other reason.
I wish SO would expire questions. It would go a long way toward making sure the answers that come up in search are current. Popular questions would get asked again organically in short order.

It would mess with the way they do points, but so what? The goal is to be the best resource for developers; the point system should just be a tool for doing that.

They would not have to actually delete old questions, just kill their search rank so newer questions take precedence. Can be done by assigning a new URL and noindexing the redirect from the old one.

> Turing Machines, on the other hand, were instantly obviously mechanizable. It was clear that one could build a physical machine to run any Turing program without human input.

Harold Abelson points out in one of his lectures [0] that computer science isn't about computers any more than biology is about microscopes.

From that perspective, it is clear that Turing found an existing discipline of computer science and made major contributions to it. But it doesn't really seem right to say that he invented or founded computer science.

Sure! Taxes can go up with each subsequent home owned. Taxes can go up in inverse proportion to time spent in the home. Taxes can go up in proportion to the total value of the home (to avoid simply buying your neighbor's home and calling it one property to bypass this law). Etc, etc, etc.

There are plenty of possible ways to implement this, and I leave it to actual experts to determine what the best way is. But the plethora of ways makes it quite clear that at least one viable path should be determinable and implementable.

> What are the limits for the recordings in terms of time and input data size?

The best answer right now is that it varies a lot depending on overall CPU usage, the amount of memory used, and the length, so it's somewhat difficult to nail down.
Right now we recommend less than 2 minutes long as an attempt to keep things reasonable, but if it's 2 minutes at full CPU usage it may still not load.

That "just" is doing a lot of work.

It seems to me that many of these "rationalize all the things" schemes tend to bottom out at and build onto an "incorruptible kernel of truth" which, if corrupted, causes the whole thing to collapse (or worse: have a veneer of impartial truth while being secretly corrupt). It's a sort of microkernel approach to government.

With Hanson's futarchy, it's the hypothetical mechanism for "voting on values" in order to choose what does and doesn't go in the almighty bundle of metrics (and who gets to measure the result: they have the real power). If that can be corrupted then the whole thing falls apart. Yarvin's "neocameralism" has a "cryptographic decision and command chain" which everything else rides on (https://www.unqualified-reservations.org/2008/05/ol6-lost-th...).

This "all the eggs, one basket" approach seems fragile and ripe for subversion, especially when having fallible humans administer it. It seems more resilient to avoid concentrations of this kind of power.
You both are right that you won't get into many of the "hot" deals, but I don't believe there's enough data to show those turns into the best returns.

I have also gotten into a hot deal or two as a nobody. I write to the ones I am interested as early as possible with what I like about what they're doing, what I think would be helpful advice, and how my experience may be relevant. I also write checks same day.

That said, its a numbers game, just like any form of sales.
I think it's supposed to be taken literally, per this paragraph:

>The company recently took the Uptis out in public for the first time and even invited a limited number of people for the test drive.
> Why do we need idols, though?

Because we're flesh and blood, i.e. utterly irrational.

> If there was no narrative, no idols, no celebrities, would people be less motivated to do science? Why do we need to lie to ourselves so?

Yes, definitely, a huge amount of what motivates scientists is desire for fame, being considered a genius, Nobel prizes, scientific immortality, and so on. It is entirely unrealistic to imagine that we can stop being like this, it's almost a religious belief, akin to thinking that, one day, people can live without sin.

> Personally I'm mostly uninterested in who did what, but maybe that's just me. It seems obvious to me that nearly every scientific discovery could have been done equally well by millions of people, it's just a matter of who had the resources to be educated, who decided to research the problem, who managed to snipe the answer first, and who had the right connections to get it acknowledged. They're still great achievements, for sure, but they're not the markers of exceptional genius we want to think they are, not for Turing or Einstein, but not for anyone at all, really.

This may be an accurate description of your personality, in which you're one in a million, or it may be that you're ignorant about the things that actually drive you. The vast majority of people are driven by some kind of desire for fame, recognition, status, upvotes, and so on.

Suggesting that Turing and Einstein were not "exceptional geniuses" is bizarre. Even in proper context, they were exceptional geniuses, just among other, lesser-known, exceptional geniuses. If we take your view seriously, we remove all human agency and uniqueness, we remove the idea of an "achievement" and we can only give credit to luck, the historical process, and various contingent circumstances. Even if your view is accurate, people simply cannot live that way. Creating narratives is part of what makes us human and narratives need protagonists (idols, heroes, whatever).

Absolutely agree. It's probably the biggest disconnect I feel between how ideas are structured in my head and how to best communicate them in written format.

Parentheticals in English sit in this sort of midpoint between a modifying clause for necessary elaboration and a footnote/end-note for optional detail, and lots of people including me use parentheses where "inlining" the parentheses or moving them to a footnote would be more appropriate. That's in addition to conventional uses of parentheses, like to expand abbreviations.

One improvement might be to make the total capital that investors have access to into public information.

That way the market should judge bets based not on their absolute value, but on the degree of risk that the bettor is willing to take on. An oracle betting 100% of their capital on A should be treated as a maximally strong signal regardless of the size of said capital. Now, if even that signal isn't enough to move investors away from B... well, you can't really stop them without turning the system into an aristocracy.

Of course, ensuring that the total capital information is accurate is going to be complex - how do you prevent rich people from creating 'proxy investors' who bet 100% of their borrowed funds? - but it seems on a similar order of magnitude of difficulty as 'prevent people from insider trading'.
The simple reason you can't manipulate the market for profit is that everyone else can make the same bet you are making, quickly reducing the profit since you have the added expense of manipulating the market.

If a person can manipulate the market without expense, then they can do it without relying on the profit and the market isn't the problem. It will, however, allow them to bet on the market, providing a good indicator.
It looks like majority of this gains are related to memory management and garbage collector or am I missing something?

I don't think that matches what they're describing in the article. The problem is that we only get to try implementing one of policy A and policy B, so if someone bets "I think policy A will achieve the goal", but we implement policy B, you have to just void their bet.

If we had already decided on policy A, and were just trying to predict whether it'll work, what you describe would be fine. But in the article, we're trying to decide whether to implement policy A or policy B, by having two separate markets, one for "what will happen if we do A" and another for "what will happen if we do B", and one of those two will get voided.

GitLab team member here. I'd like to add some additional context to my previous comments [1][2].

Due to a security concern in which a profile containing a file extension would not load [3], we do not allow usernames that end with file extensions (ex: .mov). As noted by many folks here, these are associated with a MIME type but are not MIME types themselves. It is not related to preventing an injection or any such attack vector.

The error message for this check incorrectly included MIME type rather than file extension. This has been updated [4].

Additionally, there was an issue with how the actual check as it did not include the leading dot. The leading dot was added to the check in a subsequent MR [5].

Thanks for all the feedback.

> If you are not worth the "trouble" or effort in their eyes, then good riddance, you do not need them.

Relationships are a spectrum, and your friends move around on that spectrum over time. Social media gives you the ability to maintain some kind of connection to people even though maybe at a certain point in time, those friends are distant from you on the spectrum. But that can change at any moment and having that line of communication makes it that much easier to reconnect at any given moment.

Sending a text or calling someone randomly is not always easy to do, especially if it's someone you haven't spoken to in a while. Whereas commenting on a post or replying to a story has much less friction and can result in reconnecting with people you otherwise wouldn't.

Alan Turing’s life and work presents an interesting case which makes him rather different than most of the heroes of the ‘great men’ meme.

His halting theorem and work on computability is too abstract and abstruse for most people to recognize its significance (at least until and unless they put their minds to understanding it), but his work in defeating the Nazis, and his important subsequent suicide, apparently brought on by what we now regard (rightly) as harmful bigotry, are the essence of drama. His is a modern Campbellian hero’s tale begging to be told.

The problem with technically correct allocation of of credit is that to be truly technically correct, it gets very messy very quickly, as all knowledge is built on other knowledge. The credit for founding computer science would be "[absolutely massive list of people] and finally of course, the one we call Ung, who discovered the wheel".

That might seem pedantic and it is, but you need to define exactly where the line is drawn and more so, give a good reason why. In fact its not even that simple, WE need to decide and agree on where the line is drawn and all of us agree why. Otherwise one mans pedantic is anothers important creditation.

Obviously that's not going to happen anytime soon, so for now, figureheads like Einstein and Turing do the job. And they do certainly deserve credit to some degree. That or we stop giving credit completely, which a). seems like a good way to destroy knowledge and b). isn't going to happen anytime soon.

Edit: As another commenter pointed out, if Einstein or the like were born somewhere else and lived around a different group of people, theres a chance he wouldn't become a figurehead, or he would make less or more or different discoveries. Therefore, theres a third option for creditation, in which everyone who has ever lived up until those discoveries has equal credit. If I were 60 or so years older, I'd be as much to credit for the turing machine as Turing himself. So would you. Of course, this is pretty much as good as no credit to anyone at all, but fixing it again requires a joint agreement on where the line is drawn

I mean technically apps on Android can bundle whatever web rendering engine they want. The majority of them either use Android's WebView components (see: DuckDuckGo, and a LOT of others), or are just a hard fork of Chromium (see: Kiwi Browser, Bromite, Brave, etc.)

On that note, I remember trying to find a non-Chromium browser on Android (bar Gecko / Firefox, of course). It was practically impossible. I think there was some sort of WebKit thing, but it was like 10 years out of date.

The only practical alternative is Gecko, but IMO it has a lot of catching up to do with performance, battery life, etc. etc. Personally I don't like the redesign, but I'm not sure what the public sentiment is aside from vocal Firefox users.

It's the same with desktop mostly IMO: either Firefox or Chromium. I'd love to be proven wrong here, though.

It'd be interesting to see if Servo would change things on both mobile and desktop, though. Again, it has a lot of catching up to do in comparison to Chromium.
