I'm not sure it's a failure. You could argue that showing him ads for glazing could be beneficial in case he spots a good deal and decides to talk to them about it.

Now I don't think the ad network is that smart and explicitly intended for this, but presumably in aggregate they're seeing better results by merging targeting buckets by IP than not, so they continue doing it.

Sure I agree with you but the cellphone brief case of the 90s looks way different our iPhones.

The form factor basic idea of VR hasn't changed since the 90s which is still strap a bulky headset to your face. Prescription or sunglasses aren't bulky ..what humans have worn for possibly centuries.

Maybe it will finally change how we play video games but working virtually with my coworkers emojis for 8 hours or long periods of time with a headset strapped to my face is lol
Distributed nut farming is cool, and would solve my dilemma as a voracious nut eater. I cut out almonds for the amount of water they suck up in California, but probably every nut is problematic.

Too bad resilience against future problems loses to maximizing profits, so all the resources are capital-efficiently extracted from one location before moving on. Even if I buy local, it’s likely that it’s farmed at a damaging scale. I’m guessing that sustainable farming, crop rotations, etc have fewer externalities.
Re use of water in lithography: it became necessary at 90 nm level (~2004), so it is not exactly new. Water is used to bend light. (Isn't it amazing?)

While this use requires extreme purity, it is not a big use in terms of volume.

Yes, simple classification. Nothing fancy.

Basically, pulled the database into CSV file and anything that was published before the bad content was classified as HAM.

We had content that were OK, so marked as HAM and then our new bad content all marked as SPAM.

When deployed to production for some hours HAM content got wrongly marked and model got trained on them as well which made so many confusion but the problem was taken care of once the model got properly tuned and safer to let it be automated.
If you are interested, you should know that it's possible to not be seeing any ads at all on a computer (phones are a different beast). It's a bit of a chore but it takes 3 things: firefox with ublock origin + noscript + delete cookies and history on exit. I haven't seen ads in years. You can go a step further and create startup profiles. It's a bit chore because you have to selectively allow domains for content to display (reader mode can help), but that's the price to pay to minimize tracking and remove annoying ads.
The voltage across the heart will be rather bounded if you fix the current at 100mA, though. Hearts will not differ significantly from each other.

I love Dropbox, but more and more often I am completely quitting and closing the Dropbox client because it takes over the computer processing.

I welcome all the new features they are developing, I just wish they would release a Dropbox Light client that didn't try to have those features or anything more than a sync utility.

I miss the old menu-bar Dropbox that I never even noticed it was running...
I'm all for MVP's, and this does say BETA, but I can't get it to work and it looks like it's riddled with bugs.

I agree. My employer has a moderation product (for comments, usernames, etc): https://cleanspeak.com/

I don't work with it much, but from what I can see it's surprisingly complicated to filter out comments quickly without impacting user experience. I guess you know you've succeeded when the pottymouths join your platform :).

Dropbox has lost its way. This has been true for awhile.

Now it does a bunch of things, none of them well.

This may not end well.

It makes you login to Dropbox. I get they want to expand the user base, but that's sort of odd in that you wouldn't need that for the functionality shown in the explainer video.

In real life, career diplomats wind up in NGO circles where their skills are more transferrable. NGOs are also easier to spinup where needed and raises less eyebrows when they communicate and develop relevant contacts working within the established track 2/2.5 people to people system. 1000s of NGOs operated in PRC without much scrutiny until the NGO crackdown following CIA purge explicitly to reduce espionage/influence, i.e. Kovrig's International Crisis Group wasn't licensed to operate at the time of his arrest. There's also Spavor publically spamming his NK credentials. The TLDR is that PRC retaliation is calibrated, these two were rounded up because they were the most obvious spies, and while Canada/West can fool public by insisting they're just innocent individuals, to others in the IR community the message is obvious.
It really is. One of the primary reasons I’ve been using them for 15 years is a commitment to cross platform.

I may seriously have to rethink this moving forward and that’s going to be odd for something that was such a core piece of my tooling.
I'm in the same boat. At the beginning of my adult life, someone would say something that annoyed me and I'd start to dislike them. Now when someone says something that bothers me, I'm more likely to think something like "huh, I wonder why that bothers me so much. What they said wasn't wrong, so what triggered that reaction in me? Did I feel like they were challenging my assertions? Hmm, do I actually have evidence for those assertions? Maybe I should prove them wrong by actually, you know, finding references that support what I was telling them."

It certainly ain't free or cheap if you are running a real business with real traffic and real customers.

However, still totally worth it, easily.
Just saying they have a healthy B2B business model.
For rust in particular, there is just such an intermediate representation called MIR that has desugared AST, control flow graph, type inference and lifetime information baked into it so it can be reused to speed up incremental builds.

But that's pretty far from what the programmer wants to interact with. In the context of the thread where we're discussing whether the source code is just a serialized version of the AST.

(Also, with Rust, type checking and borrow checking are expensive, but codegen still dominates)

> This makes AC much more dangerous, as you conduct 120V AC much better than 120V DC.

But at higher frequencies, you should experience the skin effect, right?
That was my first approach actually.

The mental model is like this: if sensor says 4 - it means the obstacle is 4 meters away. If obstacle is far away, then sensor may say… hm… 5 meters? 10 meters? Infinity meters? So I went with something a bit higher than max sensor distance limit of 4 meters. And, for linear equation this didn’t work for me. Cars were straggling to learn.

So I’ve switched to another mental model: if sensors says 0 - it means we just turn the sensor of, the sensor is not important. Let’s say you want to learn how to drive forward if the obstacle is behind you. Then you don’t care about the side sensors, you may just cancel them with zero variables. And with this setup, the cars started to learn much faster.

I think the correct approach depends on the brain “model”. For linear equation, canceling the sensor with the zero value of the sensor.

But if you would manage to train the cars well with the different approach - it would be really interesting to try
You can cut this however you want with pretty semantics, but your argument is predicated on not giving the workers the right to choose whether to unionize. If they choose no, Tesla has no option but to replace them.

You want to "educate" workers in order to help them make the right choice... you are not coming at this from a position where you actually respect the rights of workers to make a choice.
Same story for me.

I used RescueTime for a long time, but it felt weird.

Also switched to QBserve after a while and it's been great.

RescueTime has more features, for sure (at least it did before), but these days, it is just too much extra data to willingly send to others.
> The majority of nodes/users (not miners) would need to switch to the miners' new fork. Otherwise if the miners mined a block that doesn't follow the current protocol, it would be an invalid block and rejected by the network.

In the event of a contested hard fork both chains would continue to live, because some miners would mine chain A, and some miners would mine chain B. Yes, miners who mine the old chain would not accept blocks from miners who mine the new chain, you are correct about that, but the same statement holds true in reverse: miners who run the new chain would not accept blocks from miners who mine the old chain.

If a majority of miners decided to steal $100M by forking the chain, they absolutely could do that, even if the majority of users would support the old chain. In that event the tokens (which used to be worth $100M) would now exist on both chains, and it would be up to the market to decide how much the tokens are worth on each chain.

I am an extension developer, but have resigned from engaging with development in the ecosystem. One of my extensions has >300k subscribers on the Chrome Webstore which will be killed by MV3.

Many ongoing changes are being made in extensions and the web in general to improve security while reducing capabilities in existing applications.

At this point, for more complex use cases such as one of my own, the only hope is building your own web browser with complete control over its systems. I've changed focus to improving Electron for this reason.

Ideally, I'd like to see MV3 continue supporting the persistent context use case as well as maintaining webRequest blocking support.

Out of memory errors are extremely dangerous in concurrent code. It is one of the few ways that will leave things in an inconsistent state as it releases the monitors and you likely aren't catching them and fixing things up. I highly recommend all Java production JVMs have one of these set:

-XX:+CrashOnOutOfMemoryError

Satire site for Slack users who are drowning in channels
Whipped up this site over the weekend. Wanted to take a trip down memory lane and implemented a no-framework plain ole HTML, JS, CSS site. Was honestly a lot of fun.

Anyways, its really just a joke site for folks who use Slack and find themselves in a ton of channels. There's some tips on channel etiquette too.
I agree with that. But I don't think that creating what this guy calls "Development Abstraction Layer" has to necessarily sacrifice the time-to-market?

My understanding is -- ensure that deadlines are clear and communicated and then ensure that people have everything that they need to do in order to focus on development (and that means, among other things - less interruptions).
I've seen very few companies release other products while properly maintaining their core ones.

I'm really really glad I switched to syncthing, it works fantastic for my use case.
I looked into this when setting up a new machine. Well, not exactly openvscode but code-server. I have the same questions I had when investigating that:

- with docker, how would you install eg. node and go binaries?

- with docker, how would you set up some dotfiles?

- how do you map remote ports to your local machine?

I ended up going with VSCode Remote (SSH), and am loving it. But I still think I'd be happier with a pure browser experience.

I have taken sleeper trains several times (about 7 times in my life), mostly from Prague to somewhere, but I was never able to sleep comfortably there.

The train shakes a lot (possibly only a problem of older cars/rails that is not present in richer Western Europe) and wakes me up. On some stretches of the track my head is lower than my feet, and even if the tilt is slight, it makes falling asleep hard. Whenever we arrive at a station, sharp white-bluish artificial light penetrates the curtains and a loud, long announcement for passengers wakes me up.

I can manage about 2-3 hours of tired sleep in such conditions and the next day I zone out regularly until I get into a real bed.

It's a mistake to rely on a clear statement when you can't afford to lose your data. Stuff happens all the time... mistakes, malware, an expired credit card, etc. Independently of the provider you decide to use, I'm not sure if a backup is optional in your case.

> Healthcare in the US is completely broken.

> Primary care physicians should be required to spend more time with patients and not be punished for it. If issue is difficult they should be allowed time for research, but that doesn't make money....seeing patients does.

Healthcare in the US is not perfect but I often wonder about comments like yours.

I'm an expat and have had to use the medical systems in a number of countries and the idea that Americans are being short-changed in terms of doctor time is curious to me.

Instead of giving you some horrible examples of truly broken healthcare systems, let's take the country I'm currently a resident of, Taiwan. It has a single payer system that's well-regarded. As a resident, I am a part of this system and have had to use it more in the past year than I would have liked.

The system is very cheap compared to the US and efficient. It's structured in a way that gives patients a lot of choice. I can see a doctor at a clinic (for a few bucks) or I can go to a hospital and see a physician of my choice (even a specialist) for no more than around $20 USD.

But primary care doctors here see way more patients on a daily basis than doctors in the US do. Go to a hospital during peak hours and it's not uncommon to find the halls packed with people waiting to be seen. Doctors can easily see upwards of 50 patients in a half-day rotation.

I've never had a basic internal medicine appointment here last more than 5 minutes. Even with a specialist, I've never had an appointment here go beyond 10 minutes. From what I've seen among friends, quick prescription writing is common with a lot of head scratchers, namely antibiotics for suspected viral (cold and flu) infections.

In the US, my primary care appointments are rarely shorter than 10 minutes, and I've had appointments with specialists last upwards of 30-45 minutes. Additionally, many health systems in the US let you email your doctor, which provides the opportunity for correspondence and research, something that I've never seen available in Taiwan. I've also never been prescribed antibiotics in the US for cold or flu symptoms.
It is universal. The process you are going through is called individuation. It happens for everyone according to Carl Jung. He even wrote something along the lines almost over 50 years ago:
