Right, I was just bringing that up as an example of simulating without understanding.

The paper is talking about taking another approach. Whether it will work or not is not something I could comment on.

Another example is how we have a very imperfect model for the universe, and yet we use our models to make strikingly accurate predictions. Huge gaps in our knowledge exist, but that doesn't stop us from using approximations to do interesting things.
Currently, all recordings are stored on device. If you have iCloud backup enabled, they will also be backed up to iCloud as part of your regular backup. See also our privacy policy (ours is actually readable!):

We're thinking a lot about how we will do this in the future when we start adding collaboration and sharing. Not FB or insta-like sharing, but rather within a close circle of friends (like your band our your choir). For that, we'll need to introduce accounts, and cloud storage.

It's not complicated on a technical level (or at least not rocket science), but we're very aware that not everyone wants their data scattered throughout the internet. We're currently contemplating whether we leave most data on-device and only put shared tapes on our cloud, or whether we just sync everything by default.

If we were to add some kind of Dropbox-like storage (on our own servers) that would make it trivial to share your recordings with friends, would that be something you'd welcome or would you rather be put off by having your recordings in yet another cloud?
If I had to pick one feature add, it’d be allow trailing commas. That would make serializing a bit easier and less error prone.
They don't just think they are rational, they are rational. When there is a run on the bank, the rational thing to do is join the run, because if you do, you have a chance of getting your money, but if you don't, you have no chance. That is why this behavior is so hard to stop.
You know? It's not like the already existing pipelines into those countries are made obsolete by NS2. It just robs them of some...let's say 'leverage' or even extortion. If they don't like the pipelines they can buy LNG on the world market from whomever?

Where is the problem with that? Cry me a river!
That was quite a rollercoaster.

> but drawing an equivalence of wrongdoing to another wrongdoer does not exonerate the former (Russia).

Incorrect, it completely exonerates them if you are going to merrily let the the other wrongdoer carry on with the offending behaviour.

If you disagree, ask what's the moral case for not dealing the other wrongdoer tomorrow morning?

Can anyone informed and eager enough tell me how it's possible to measure something that only exists for "12 sextillionths of a second"? In my computer minded mode of thinking in sensors and clock cycles I can't imagine a way this is done.
Yes, it requires contributors to have more skin in the game. Zero-cost contribution is the main reason why some topics on Wikipedia are outright disinformation "contributed" by special interest groups. And don't get me started on the "regulatory capture" of power users...
This is a feature and I love it. I don't want to subscribe to football channels, for example, but if I'm in the mood I watch a couple of them and then it shows me related videos for a few more hours and then it switches when I decide to search for cooking videos, of which I don't want to subscribe to either. Works great.
And XML is a very battle-tested alternative that supports every conceivable edge case and arbitrary depths of strictness and validation. There was soooo much energy poured in to making XML the One Format To Rule Them All. It has so many advanced features like strict definitions, includes syntax, support for mixed content, entities and references, comment syntax. But it turns out that 99% of users never needed any of that and just wanted nested key-value pairs.
I've never been willing to try a subscription with them due to stories like this. It actually taught me to do a quick search on how to cancel something before I subscribe. If I have to talk to someone I'm probably not ever going to subscribe.
Thanks for the link, how is it on mobile?
The US spending is on a per student basis is on par with other OECD nations[0], it is incumbent upon the teachers unions and department of education to explain why they can not achieve what the rest of the world has with the same funds, not the taxpayer to throw more money onto the bonfire.

While I agree phones shouldn’t be allowed in school I can understand freaking out if the school takes a very expensive thing like a phone from a kid, especially like you said as it’s a means to reach the kid.
A lot of times it's groups who have individuals who may get confused by apps like WhatsApp. Many people aren't willing to experiment with different messaging apps.
Matt Levine is a columnist for Bloomberg. His job is to write his column. Bloomberg employees other people who figure out how to monetize his content. And more to the point, he doesn't engage with or reference the advertisers in his column.

So, no. Matt Levine is not an influencer.
scihub, libgen, you now have the keys to the kingdom.

Hilariously enough in my current gig I have access to pretty much all the journals out there, yet scihub is still easier to use and libgen has more books. The only place I think that has libgen beat is the British Library and that's only because they haven't digitised most of their old books yet.
To a someone not versed in NoSQL: what are Cassandra and Scylla like to use? Would you use it instead of say, Mongo, when you have much more data?
Don't forget the bridges!

beeperhq is doing this for I believe $10/month (even iMessage). Free, reliable bridges would be the special sauce for Matrix IMHO.
This is anxiety-inducing and a good promo for the pinenote!
> Similar to the iOS feature that can scan the messages of people under 18 on a family account for nudes, features like will get LGBTQ kids who don't have supportive homes in trouble for exploring their sexuality & identity. It will get kids who are looking for support in abusive situations via actually helpful posts in trouble when their adults see what they've been looking at.

This is a minor point of yours, but I don't see any valid reasons for kids below 13 to ever send or receive nudes, and I would hope that most of them wouldn't even have a "sexual orientation" at that age. Opposing policies that are as close to "universally good" as you can get, is going to make it even harder to solve the problems of kids using technology.
An old mentor once told me a truth in life: everything comes in cycles. That includes productivity.
I'm with you on this one. I love confluence.

It's web based so no installation hassle.

It allows the raw storage of documentation.

It allows you to search uploaded documentation.

It allows you to easily search everything! At my last company, someone pointed out to me that I could find almost anything I wanted to know about existing systems in our confluence.

It is excellent for collaborative editing.

It is excellent for writing and formatting documentation that must be shared.

It has a wide variety macros and plugins that let you effortlessly embed charts and diagrams. Admittedly, some macros (ie gliffy) are vastly superior to others (lucidchart).

You can write good documentation with minimal effort. But it also provides a comprehensive set of tools to format the crap out of your documents if you want to.

At this point, I'm really struggling to figure out what someone actually wants out of a "perfect" product. A lot of the things the author complains about would require draconian solutions from a systems standpoint that would just set off another round of complaints that the system is to restrictive.
Hacked Facebook Account of Ousted Afghan President Calls for Cooperation
Yes. The better idea is to sink them in lead and leave on the surface.

This way if something happens to external core, you can cheaply fix it, instead of recover them from deep mines.
Not only. But it's much harder to find anything in larger cities.
It appears to be a C++ rewrite of Cassandra (written in Java).
How malware gets into the App Store and why Apple can't stop that
Restrictions on speech aren't about a utilitarian greater good, which is the logic of giving to person A by taking from person B because that results in a perceived net utility benefit. They're in the same category of things as drunk driving laws and assault laws, in that they're designed to protect person A from person B by limiting what person B can do, which according to right-libertarianism is the just role of the state.

You probably already agree that person A shouldn't be allowed to incite direct violence against person B. The thing is, hate speech laws for example aren't categorically different, since hate speech by A can lead to violence against B downstream. It's purely a difference in degree, difficulty to get right, and slippery slope risk.

I've thought about the case of Hitler and am unsold either way. On the one hand, the Weimar Republic had hate speech laws, and so in this N=1 they weren't effective at preventing the outcome they were supposed to prevent. On the other hand, it could be argued that such laws were merely too lenient. Hitler was genuinely popular and got 43 percent of the vote through mostly unfettered speech. He convinced people that his regime was a good idea. So this is a demonstration to me that unfettered speech can actually lead to the kind of outcomes that anti-1A people fear. Overall I just don't know enough about that history to say.
Practical Incident Responder Training
I think about myself as a pretty standard middle class person who's obviously empathetic to those who have less. But this proves how easy it is to be out of touch an not even realize it. I really had no idea. I just assumed when you filled, you filled all the way.
I can save photos just fine, and notifications aren't a problem. iOS?
> A blank cell is literally missing. That should be filled with NA.

Why? "NA" stands for "Not Applicable", but a blank cell in a CSV could represent any number of things of which "Not Applicable" is only one.
Bigints, dates, and buffers I can understand to a degree.

Sets can easily be serialized as a json array. Maps can be serialized as a json array of arrays or as a single json dictionary if the key types are compatible.
Thanks for the recs both.

To your last point, it's an interesting read, and ya something else to start with might be a good call.

I found it in sort an alternative book shop (think MIT Press publications that veer more radical, types of books you're stoked can still get published) in a major coastal metro. I was super interested to find a technical-ish book in that setting, so I picked up as I was having trouble finding anyone talking about tech in the way I thought it warranted and hoped this could be it (that aforementioned void).

The book's approach to language and arguments (reads like a Camus book, not sure what this style of writing is called though, "academic" doesn't do it justice I think) paired with really clear takes on tech is striking. Maybe intense for a first read though, to your point. Also I'm only halfway through so TBD on what shows up in the second half of it; I might have recommended a wild read haha.
While you may not care about using children as test subjects for long COVID, the most obvious reason to not allow in person learning is that the kids will act as a substrate for the virus, allowing further mutations.

It seems like you’ve let politics get in the way of common sense.
Thanks for your feedback. I'll promise you we'll add it. No promise on the timeline, though (sorry, hope you understand that). But we'll add it. We always planned to.

If you sign up to our email newsletter on our website, you will also hear from us when the feature is out. There will likely be a few emails before that I'm afraid, as we have a few other features in the pipeline worth communicating, but I promise that we'll treat your inbox with respect.
> Why is it faster? Is it algorithmic, or some neat trick, or just a much more efficient implementation?

Scylla is written in C++ (versus Java for Cassandra) and uses the high-performance Seastar[0] framework.

> And are they closely equivalent? Would you use one or the other for the same thing, or do they make different CAP promises?

Scylla claims to be a drop-in replacement for Cassandra.

Every company I've worked at that followed some sort of rigid scrum process has suffered from burnout and general failure in one form or another

It treats developers like consultants because it's really designed for agencies working on one-off short-burst projects ( this is the only setting I've seen it have a positive effect )

by nature it just chews people up if it becomes a day-to-day practice, the whole process revolves around the assumption that there's lack of trust and team cohesion
And a list of options. Reading the first 80 lines of https://github.com/alexhallam/tv/blob/main/src/main.rs was in some sense more educational than the readme.

It, for example, allowed me to make an educated guess as to the answer to the question “how does this handle huge files?”. It by default only reads 25 lines.

(That makes the example from the header:

cat diamonds.csv | head -n 35 | tv

a bad example. You shouldn’t need that head in-between.

However, line 167 says

//.take(row_display_option + 1)

That seems to indicate this reads the entire file into memory, and that guess wasn’t that educated at all.
Hrm. Hr. Hm. Why do they say so differently then?

Comments maybe. Multi-line strings though I don't really see as very valuable.

Lack of multi-line strings in JS was a very large, but infrequent pain for years before it was added. That infrequency tends toward zero for JSON: most of it is generated, and even when it is hand-authored, long strings are very much an exception in those cases (in my experience).
Unless you value your time at 0, the amount of money you'll save by not carrying around the extra weight is less than the value of the time you'll spend filling up twice.

Pretty sure in 10K years the nuclear waste will no longer be radiotoxic.

> The radioactivity of nuclear waste naturally decays, and has a finite radiotoxic lifetime. Within a period of 1,000-10,000 years, the radioactivity of HLW decays to that of the originally mined ore. Its hazard then depends on how concentrated it is. By comparison, other industrial wastes (e.g. heavy metals, such as cadmium and mercury) remain hazardous indefinitely.

The above is probably some nuclear power lobby (vested interest and all that), but I think the point is a good one.
Kanban in Action by Marcus Hammarberg and Joakim Sundén is a good introduction. In this book, the guiding principles of Kanban are presented almost like parables as the authors introduce you to their fictional team "Kabaneros".
131,063 = 2^17 - 9

Probably split up such that there are 2^15 top level node ids and 2^17 ids per node allocated for subfolders, with a few restrictions.
Does any photoediting tool implement these filters?
As far as I can tell, the US doesn't regulate this much at all. Certain newspapers are notorious for making it difficult to unsubscribe.

IMO, merchants should be required to have an obvious unsubscribe button on your account page. Or perhaps all recurring payments managed through the consumer's bank, so a list can be provided for easy "bulk" management.
Stripe emailed me about this the other day, and are handling it pretty seamlessly. Recurring charges are not being banned. An additional factor of authentication is required above a certain threshold, and pre-debit notifications need to be sent. They're sensible rules which more countries should adopt.
I think for some folks living check to check, it's pretty common to not have enough money for a full fill. In the end it's the same amount of gas, so this seems like just another one of the myriad ways poor people end up spending more resources than wealthier people because they can't invest a bit more now for better returns later.
The AX series is the current TP-Link offering for most use cases starting at ~$80: https://www.newegg.com/p/pl?N=50012120%20100158096%206013568... In addition, the AX3200 Belkin (RT3200) is $100, and the $140 Linksys (E8450) are both listed as supporting OpenWRT.
The universe can't be a self-teaching machine if by virtue of its constant expansion it's breaking up into smaller and smaller pieces that are totally informationally isolated from one another. If anything, that means it's getting stupider.

In particular - services should never be asymetrical in barriers to subscribe vs. unsubscribe - that's clearly a predatory tactic that exists to trap a portion of users as unwilling subscribers. I will never support a company that operates in that manner - no matter how little or much I appreciate their services.
It isn't. They measure the decay products and infer what happened.
I'd rather keep my money in fuel than cash, in the off chance hyperinflation strikes, triggering a bank holiday, without me having any physical cash.

But so far this has happened 0 times since I have a car.
I've been following this story a bit and here's what I've noticed:

1. The causes seem to vary depending on who you ask. There seems to be a combination of CO2 taxes going up, a hard winter last year that diminished the strategic reserves, incompetent (corrupt?) gov't institutions that didn't replenish them in summer this year, combined with a general trend of relying more on gas and less on coal (and nuclear to some extent).

2. The EU came down with a heavy hand on coal producing countries... which does make sense, climate change is an issue. However, this is going to disproportionately hit the poorer countries in the block, those that still relied on antiquated coal burning power plants. Germany has Nord Stream + some investment in renewables, so they don't care much, France is mostly nuclear, so again, they don't care, Italy and Spain are warmer countries that could get fine through winter. Poland, Romania, Bulgaria, Slovakia etc. where coal plants were closed will be hit the worst by this.

3. The EU doesn't negotiate as a block on gas prices. Each country deals with Russia individually – e.g. Nord Stream being built between Germany and Russia. That also means that the smaller countries are at the biggest disadvantage, or are reliant on either Germany's or Russia's benevolence in dictating gas prices.
San Francisco will pay people to not shoot others: 'Cash for criminals'
I find "velocity" to be almost completely useless, both in principle and in practice. It's not only useless for comparing teams, it's useless for comparing the same team over time if anything that affects "velocity" changes: the team composition, the length of the iterations, the nature of the tasks being worked on, etc. Now, how often have any of us worked on a project where at least one of those things didn't change, and sometimes fairly frequently?

I mean, just the difference in an iteration with a couple of people on PTO, or a holiday or two intruding into it, will throw the numbers off. Now factor in all of the other fuzziness that's inherent in the process... yeah, no. Don't bother trying to calculate or track "velocity". You'd probably get better results from Tarot cards or animal entrails.
Let’s come back in a decades time and we will see if they continue to complain about it or if all the cool kids moved on to another shiny new social media toy.
Most modern cars have anti-siphon traps preventing this.
This reminds me of my story with LA fitness. They closed down their only location that’s in a sane driving distance to me and said I could use my membership at the next closest location without paying extra, as if they were doing me a favor. After calling them to cancel, they refused to cancel on the phone and insisted I go into a physical location… well, it’s 30 miles away, and I didn’t have a car and I’m on crutches. Getting around was very difficult for me.

In the meantime, they refused to even accept my phone call as a request to cancel. I was charged for three extra months, until I finally paid $100+ round trip to Uber to their location and cancel in person.

LA Fitness is a soulless leech, and the fact that company is allowed to stay in business is testament to a corrupt government system.
Not trying to shill too hard, but it's rare I fall in love with a device the way I've fallen in love with my Remarkable 2.

I can't say it was 100% worth the price (half was paid as a gift), but everything about it is refreshingly elegant and simple.

Great to know recovering from a brick is possible too.
while uranium isn't that toxic compared to the other stuff it has a half-life of 4 billions years.

And while the earth has long forgotten about humans other species will still be endangered by it.
A Tesla does about 4 miles per kw, give or take. So 100 miles would use about 25 KWH. Typical solar panel setups for domestic usage are around 3-4 KW. So depending on the season, you could get to 25KWH in a single day in the summer and you might struggle to get there in a week in the winter. All depends on you latitude, cloud coverage, etc. If you are in the north of Scottland, probably not a great plan in the winter but fantastic yields in the summer due to the long days.
German Voters Punish Merkel's Party in an Election Without a Clear Victor
That may be too far the other direction. My teens do hang out at malls, just hang out with friends and listen to music. They do have parties, they have jobs. They do many of the things we did. They also do text between all those things, and coordinate which parents is driving which kids where and when in the process.

It is different, yes. But today's teens are not just sitting in their rooms to be online together. Honestly, they seem fairly similar to how we were, but they have replaced phone calls with apps.
Why are you surprised? The most influential and richest Americans were always full-blown NAZIs. Starring with the most important media moguls Randolph Hearst and Walt Disney, the old industrial leaders from big oil, coal, steel and weapons, the new industrial revolutionaire Ford and all the Wallstreet bankers.

And this didn't really stop after the war.
