Grey zone. You can't sue them because they haven't tried all the experimental treatments known. You probably can't even sue them if it is a misdiagnosis, unless it was egregious.

And moreover, certainly don't get on message boards where people are genuinely looking for things they can do, and say "don't do crunchy". A few misplaced comments like that can result in a huge missed opportunity.

An ID card is something I keep in my pocket when I need it and it serves one purpose and is close-to-free in financial and time costs. A computer chip is expensive, turing complete, and has enough data about me to do just about anything you might imagine.

They had to make the choice with the info available at that time. And exposing and prosecuting ransomware criminals could help to prevent future cases: The perpetrators are techies who are not street thugs, they could make money with legit work.
So my opinion doens't matter and is worse than useless, but your opinion on PeerTube's content is worth while? If my opinion deviates so much from the public's opinion why isn't Youtube pay per view? Or at least monthly subscription? Sadly most people are not tech savy enough to use ad blockers or are consuming Youtube with their mobile devices where they can't block ads.

As for PeerTube I don't care. Sadly video is currently expensive to host and only Google has the pockets to operate a site like Youtube. I won't pay for it and the day my adblocker stops working is the day I stop watching it.

This looks really cool, but the author... is... replacing their laptop every year? Like, I'm writing this on an 8 year old MBP that has survived as my round-the-house driver because it still does everything well.

B2B SaaS have a much clearer/easier value proposition than B2C.

There's already a cash flow and profit motive in a business, so if a SaaS can demonstrate that it enables more value than it costs, there's a tangible advantage to paying for that service.
I've read that this impact was thought to kick up water vapor from the dead sea and salt the surface of the earth in this area enough that agriculture would be nonviable for hundreds of years in the region. That's enough of an impetus to throw the social order out of whack with a whole sector of the economy eliminated, a pretty important one at that. I wouldn't be surprised if the survivors in this region had to resort to raiding further and further out for resources, eventually being known as these fabled "sea peoples" if their land was barren in this way over these same centuries.

NP-hardness is about yes/no questions, and we already know thwre is an answer to all n-queens instances except 2 and 3 :)

It also can't really be #P (which is to do with hardness of counting), as that has to do with "input problem size", and N-queens with an empty grid doesn't have enough structure (as it's just a number) -- this is hard to explain in full in a short message :)

Borrowing Trouble: The Difficulties of a C++ Borrow-Checker
Technically the answer to the second question is "no" when n is given in binary. As a valid output is Omega(n log n) bits in length, we can't hope to construct a solution in time polynomial in the input size, i.e. time poly(log n).

However, when n is given in unary (meaning we have poly(n) time to find and output a solution), there is a 19th century German-language paper by Pauls that explicitly and efficiently constructs an n-queens solution for all n>3. So the unary version of the problem is in FP (the search version equivalent of P).

tl;dr a solution to n-queens can be found in deterministic poly(n) time.
I'd argue that this is one of the most humane ways to die. You're gone in a flash. Compare this to diseases like several cancers that kill you slowly over a period of time, while you suffer all the way through.

Would other barcode scanners work as well? I know the cuecat has a cult following and a fun history, but you can get modern handheld scanners for about the same price (up through "far far more expensive" obviously). But I have no idea if librarything integrates with them as smoothly.
Though this article is not about software engineers, the same thing is happening in this field as the article mentions:

"All of this adds up to an incredibly tough entry-level job market. And the inability to land a solid role in a worker’s desired field right out of college can impact their careers in a major way, for a long time."

In tech, it's a booming job market. However, because most companies get funding to build complex systems, or scale existing ones, and thanks to remote work - and most teams not being comfortable onboarding engineers with no experience remotely - the job market is very-very competitive.

I wrote about advice for juniors on the tech market [1] - and some of it is suggesting to try to get/create experience while job hunting (e.g. via open source contributions, doing contracting on the side if they can, and so on).

It's incredible that in the middle of the most heated tech job market, it seemingly has not been more competitive to get an entry-level engineering job. And, with the rise of bootcamps, and the promises they give on landing a highly-paying job after a few months' study, I don't think this will change the next few years.

I've used its python bindings. I've been quite pleased with how well it works, honestly. I wrote some software for a client with multiple radio stations. It's a service that listens to one web stream per station and shoots the client an email/text if it detects problematic audio (e.g. static, silence, etc.). Some of the stations are talk and others are music, so it needed to be robust. Aubio made it really easy to test different detection algorithms, and its documentation was tremendously helpful.

Ahh, there it is. That moral superiority that oh-so-often exudes from folks with kids criticizing folks who don't want them.

It's been thought that this impact marred the fertility of the land for the next few centuries in this area. That would certainly be enough to distrupt the social order of a former agrarian regional economy as the survivors increase in population and are forced to raid farther and farther out with each larger generation due to their local land being barren.

Should be a different non-plural word, straight up confusing seeing it in writing.
They do, yes. However, libraries typically have a very small number of "copies" of ebooks available to loan, which means there can be quite a queue. Add to this that there is literally no incentive for the person who checked it out to "return" it when finished, which means ebooks are always kept out for their maximum borrowing time. As a result, it can be months before a popular book is available to borrow.

It's a very frustrating situation for an artificially-constrained supply.

Putting physical books on hold at the library is a much faster experience. You can still initiate it online, but you get your copy much faster. And you naturally return the book when finished because this lines up with when you go in to get your next book.

I use Overdrive for both ebooks and audio books, and I really appreciate the service, but it's really not a "Netflix for books". This is like saying Visual Source Safe, which prevented you from editing files a coworker had "checked out", is just as good as git. :-)

A psychology professor who doesn't seem to know the literature on psychometrics? This is undergrad level stuff.. see Conscienciousness https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Five_personality_traits
The subconscious brain is optimized to handle a firehose of information. The conscious brain is terrible at it.

Activate the subconscious brain instead. Take a nap, or better yet, full sleep. Or take a walk, or a shower.

Learn to observe thoughts without acting on them. You're angry at someone. Great. Don't just that anger. Just feel it but don't let it occupy your thoughts. Or maybe you're excited. Or you have 18 things you need to complete by noon. Your attention is like a flashlight, just shine it over each item, and the subconscious brain processes them.

The subconscious doesn't always do a great job, but it's best at it. There are times when you need to do something with that info -- that's when you call upon the subconscious. But when you're overwhelmed, my best strategy is to step away and let it "cool down".

>voter ID laws as selling points of those laws when they think only allies are listening, or the people pointing that out to the general public? Because both are pushing the same narrative, but to different audiences.

I really don't understand what this means...

Left claims voter ID racist because minorities are unable to obtain an ID. They claim they're too dumb, too poor, can't use the internet and a variety of other racist things that apparently aren't racist because the left said them and not the right.

They then turn around and claim vaccine passports should be mandated. How do you verify a vaccine passport is legit? Guess what you need a government ID.

What group has the lowest vaccination rates in this country? Are ID requirements racist or not? You cannot claim they're racist and then turn around and change your stance when it comes to vaccine passports.
Well, not anymore.

What a fucking travesty.

> For example, the 6502 really wants to replace stack usage with global usage; we do this absolutely whenever possible.

If I understand what you're getting at, this transformation comes up all the time when compiling either coroutines or user-space "green" threads. More obviously, it could expand the usefulness of LLVM for targeting very low-end microcontrollers (even "modern" ones targeting varieties of ARM or other recent architectures) where stack space, and memory more generally is often at a premium.

USGS states there are 7M tons of Cobalt reserves in the world. An EV battery needs about 15lbs of Cobalt. That means, in a fantasy scenario of perfect recovery of all known Cobalt, we have 930M batteries which last, maybe 100K miles. That means we get to replace, in a fantasy scenario, 2/3 of the world’s vehicles once. Then that number declines with recycling efficiency, which appears to optimistically be about 75% recovery.

So no, and state-imposed poverty (lots of examples) seems much more likely than a successful extraterrestrial mining industry (no examples).

My partner has the foot pedals and a tablet for her violin playing. One community orchestra she plays in most people are using tablets, the other one its paper sheet music.
For the tablet its just a pdf reader on the tablet and page up /page down for the foot pedals.

The tablet works, but its smaller, and there is always a question of making sure the batteries are charged up. (though with paper music it the little sheet music light needed to be charged too). Paper is pretty robust though, survives drops...

I've been noticing the framing "imagine if the roles had been reversed... the reaction would be totally different!" more and more, especially around contentious issues.

I've never found it compelling. The argument seems like a variant of begging the question: we just saw that X caused Y reaction, but the argument asserts (generally without any evidence) that if the roles were reversed, then X' would cause a massively different Y'. Would it? Why? If we agree that it would, what does that demonstrate?
GraphQL's biggest problem is that it dispenses with the concept of Interface Segregation (from SOLID). Instead of having more, special-purpose, API interfaces (which RESTful APIs give us) we bring all the problems that SQL introduced for interfacing with RDBMSs in the 1970s (that have been plaguing us for 50 years now) into the realm of front-end application development.

GraphQL is popular because it helps rapidly develop backend services. BE devs don't have to spend as much time wiring up end-points and serializers. But it just shifts the problem from the BE, where it belongs, to the FE where it doesn't. Like you said, it makes FE development needlessly more complicated. Now, instead of focusing on view-related concerns, which is the point of your front-end, devs need to understand more details about the BE's domain model (unnecessarily) and need to use a text-based query language to communicate with the services. It is pure stupidity.

I'm a very early user of Delicious Library, and I really loved it back when I was using it. At some point, I lost my library (my fault, not the app's) and could never be bothered to start over.

With all of that said, the thing that I loved about Delicious is how rich the experience was, and the ability to catalog any type of media.

Looking at their site now though...it really looks like it's stuck in 2009, with HTTP-only site to boot. Has anyone used Delicious recently?
No that's interesting and seems possible. I'm not sure which way the causality works. I think I haven't really seen great examples of isolationism working for development, but maybe some combination of capital controls and confidence in the countries trajectory are helpful
Also, take CLEP tests. I'm not sure what the current price is, but I'm guessing it's in the neighborhood of $100. You can usually get 3 credits for passing the test.
