If I read it right, if you take the test, the two spectra should always look almost exactly the same to you. If you passed, it should look the same for everybody else too (because they are the same). If you didn't pass, somebody else should be able to see a difference.

If they don't look the same to you, it's because something got wrong on the test, and you should discard the result.
I can't help but love the fact that PaymoneyWubby (a fat ginger nerd who makes interesting content, at least on youtube) makes more than pokimaine and Amouranth whose primary feature seems to be young, attractive, and female. Perhaps there's a tiny bit of justice in the world.
+1. First thought i had when i saw this was like why is notion using a postgresdb in first place- i can see it being used for customer data (which probably doesn’t require sharding) but for the content itself, a nosql or colum oriented db is better fit. the question i have is what is notion storing in these sharded postgresdb?
Fundamentally, impugning somebody's intelligence is an insult. All the side-eyeing and inventive euphemisms in the world won't change this.
I feel for the author, but he keeps talking about "love" and "passion". Perspective is needed. It's a way to run some code. It's alright to be excited by what you work on but it's just a mechanical thing. Don't wrap your self identity into it.

If 80% of your engineers are leaving its just a bad workplace. You don't have to apologize for leaving.
Good point - I should differentiate more clearly.
The point is that you don't want someone re-registering on iCloud with that gmail address because then they could impersonate you when interacting with Apple.

Things like the NIF also have power losses in feeding the ignition. The NIF lasers are maybe .1% efficient, or less, meaning that even if energy delivered by the lasers is less than created by the reaction, it must deliver a 1000x power output just for lasers to be break-even.
The idea is to make it easier to build products without having to build the entire stack. We'll still leverage decentralized protocols.

With torrents, every downloader is also uploading data, that's the point of torrents. You could theoretically configure your client with an upload cap of 0, but good luck proofing in court that you did that.
You might want to look into the works of Elliot Jacques, who came up with apparently rigorous concepts about hierarchy and management since the 70s. Wrote a bunch of books. Interesting stuff, I find.

Controversial opinion: this is happening with cryptocurrency right now.
It would depend on individual ability to metabolize D3 and amount of outdoors sunlight and the extent that local food is fortified with D3

The issue is that I fairly far north. You can miss the entirety of daylight in December if you work first shift at a factory (there will be a glow of twilight as you go home). The sunlight we do get in the winter is of poor quality. I'm not even above the arctic circle - it gets worse up there with no direct sunlight. I'm not sure of the extent of food being fortified: I can't see where they've added it to the milk (for example). I could be wrong about this last bit.

There is a lot of fish in the diet, but nonetheless, they recommend the general population take some vitamin D in the wintertime.
so it's weakly highly composite?
Very cool animation!
Thank you for pointing it out bluntly. For people like me, it does help to read the unwritten rules.
Besides, there is no need for space solar. The amount of solar radiation hitting deserts around the planet is way more than enough to generate electricity for the whole human society.
I’m not sure what you’re arguing against here. The new fusion startups claim the tech now exists to make compact useful Tokamaks. I’m not a physicist of any kind, so I don’t know what they think their MVPs are. I don’t know, and am not claiming to know, if they’re jumping straight to {Q_total, Q_plasma} > 1 or if they’re going to make a mere Q_plasma > 1, Q_total < 1 “fund-raising only” demo reactor first.
Twitch partners also have forced 2FA for quite some time now, should be a couple of years now - at least more than a year though. Covid killed my sense of time.
Or just reject the payment the next time they try, that would be fine by me.

I think my bank does this, when I called for another reason this week there was an option on the phone menu to stop a recurring payment.
Here's my attempt to understand what's going on:

100g strawberry total weight where the 100% is made up of 99% water and 1% solid matter.
100g strawberry total weight where the 100g is made up of 99g water and 1g solid matter. 99/100 = 0.99

50g strawberry total weight where the 100% is made up of 98% water and 2% solid matter.
50g strawberry total weight where the 50g is made up of 49g water and 1g solid matter. 49/50 = 0.98

I don't think it's a problem with an easy solution though. Activities by private organizations that require a police presence aren't something we want to discourage, but we do want to pass the costs on to the people incurring them.

If I'm putting together a festival in a city park to raise money for cause X (while providing some value to the local denizens), that's a good thing, but the municipality shouldn't have to pay my security costs. It's similar if I need to do construction that will impede a roadway and need a police officer to direct traffic; the cost for those hours should be passed to me, not to the town.
I don’t know. It’s 6 words and you don’t even have to be rude about it or get annoyed at the offers they throw at you. Then you get the confirmation email and you’re set.
Vitess is pretty close to magic for a lot of use cases. The downside of its rebalancer is that the re-sharding process requires a full expansion of the shards that are being re-balanced, which is to say if you have two shards [-80] and [80-], and you want to split out part of the first shard you need to provision two new shards [-40] and [40-80], let the data copy into them, and then you can mark them as active and delete the old [-80] shard. In this brave new cloud world, that not as much of an issue as it would have been in the old data of your own datacenter.

The big problem everyone I have talked to about sharding runs into is managing the shards as you expand. In this case it looks like notion over sharded so they can spin out up to 480 physical nodes, but when they need the 481 it is going to be a nightmare, thats what Vitess gets you for free, expand to any number of shards and just never worry about it again
Thanks!

"An open-ended, architectural process of designing the system that will get you into your next fulfilling position?"

It's certainly a challenging task. There are some significant constraints in my situation. I'm tempted to just not care, let them eventually fire me, and find a low stress job like working at Lowe's. It's boring but the expectations at $11/hr f you money at the opposite end of the spectrum (as in you don't pay me enough to care).
That doesn't work with Apple fans. They will blame you, never Apple. It has gotten better now but back then it was always your fault because Apple was the most innovative etc. etc. etc.

How is it more then a first step? What did they do previously?
Ted Cruz?
It's understandable why this is a neat perk, but it also seems absurd when you look at Twitch as an entity owned by a global corporation.
Do you really think it's a good idea to lie to Apple and to the public about your data deletion policies? Do you really think bad actors won't be found out eventually? Is it worth the risk to your business?
Its advantage is continuity of supply - ground based PV in a single location is only available for about a third of a day.

Building transcontinental and transoceanic UHV power transmission lines circling the northern hemisphere, providing the same function is probably cheaper, but may be more politically difficult.

But that's moot. We have a cornucopia of viable storage methods in active development--viable meaning capable of being scaled up to global scale in 20 years or so.
I'm working on an application where a digest replaces the data on delete.
The digest is immutable, which represents the data, not the data itself.
"Apple gives you the ability to permanently delete your Apple ID account at any time and for any reason."

That said, it's a pretty massive wipe.

Photos, videos, documents, and other content that you stored in iCloud are permanently deleted; you can't receive any messages or calls sent to your account via iMessage, FaceTime, or iCloud Mail; and you can't sign in to or use services such as iCloud, the App Store, iTunes Store, Apple Books, Apple Pay, iMessage, FaceTime, and Find My iPhone. In addition, any Apple Store appointments and AppleCare support cases are canceled.

Deleting your Apple ID is permanent. After your account is deleted, Apple can't reopen or reactivate your account or restore your data.

You lose all your credits with apple (if any) app updates will stop working even for apps already downloaded and more.

Isn't that a strange thing, considering Norway is vast, has low population density especially in the north, and has own oil resources available?
It IS working for most people. Beautifully so. Just look at some graphs showing essentially any economic metric from almost any nation for the past 100 or even 20 years. Chances are, it’s not only heading in the right direction, but at an exponential rate.

Regarding ideals: they’re usually great to have personally, but not so great anymore if others have to pay for your grand visions.

Regarding Bezos and Amazon: of course they have to pay tax, everyone should. But my sense is that taxes are far higher than they need to be - there’s an entire class of unionized middle-class bureacrats and government suppliers that add uncertain value at best.
Facebook is like vendor lock in for human social interactions and emotions.

That's probably why Zuckerberg tries to acquire competitors - trying to lock in your behavior and then sell it to the highest bidder. Makes sense when you think about it.

When I suggest people delete FB apps from their phones, they start writhing uncomfortably, and try to justify not doing so by making some half-ass claim that their social life will suffer if they did. Its the same response I would expect from someone who is a moderate alcoholic and is told to drink less wine during the week. The addiction is obvious.

My experience after deleting FB apps from my phone - social life changed for the better and I feel less anxiety. It turns out, most of my FB "friends" weren't really my friends. And I can still check FB / Insta via web if I wanted to. Added bonus - FB can't track me as well.

FB will do what FB does - try to steal as much data and attention and sell it to the highest bidder. But you can only blame them so much. Collectively, its on people to change and take responsibility if they feel they have grievances related to FB.

Still, I have hope - awareness for social media's downside effects is only increasing. Ms. Haugen's testimony and the Social Dilemma documentary demonstrate that.
Thanks. Appreciate any feedback from this community and hoping to make the product better as we go.
It's outrageous that you can't cancel online as easily as you signed up, and we do need legislation to correct that. But when you have to talk to them on the phone, just say, "I sold the car." End of conversation. What are you telling them that gives them the hook needed for a 30-40 minute conversation?

If all else fails, "I was just diagnosed with a terminal illness" or "I am required to report to the state penitentiary on Monday" will work.
....yet.
I can imagine it would be reasonable for fusion scientists to not spend effort on the Heat -> electricity part. What I think the article is highlighting is that they are currently totally ignoring all the energy that goes into anything other than plasma, (ie the power to run magnets, vacuum pumps, or lasers), which from the examples given is on the order of 10s-100s of times the power delivered to the plasma.

This energy should be considered by fusion scientists, because it may end up invalidating certain topologies that can achieve a Qplasma > 1, but can't achieve a Qtotal > 1. For instance from the article, it seems like pulsed lasers are relatively inefficient at turning input energy into laser energy, which might mean they would need a QPlasma > 100 before QTotal aproaches 1. I don't know which of those inefficiencies are deemed to be fundamental and which are potentially improveable, but it could suggest the whole line of research is not worth perusing.
I might check that out. This lack of motivation is really just around work and not other aspects of life.
Honestly I'm more on the business side, but I fail to see how the fact that we cannot refund our customers is a benefit for them.
Apple killed valve's steam link app because they couldn't get a cut of games consumers had purchased on a different platform. Hardly pro consumer behavior.
Agree emotions are critical to understand as they're often signals for deeper unmet needs. RAIN is a great method for understanding emotions.[1]

But sometimes, emotions are also just learned reactions, with little of value underneath. Feelings like 'I want to stay in bed' or 'I don't want to start this report' can be useful to short-circuit through habit and counter-programming with things like this mantra. Practicing these these short-circuiting habits over time can lessen future emotional reactions.

In other words, mastery over emotions and building better habits can happen in multiple ways. The body & mind are a big homeostatic machine and if you update your physical state (e.g. having written a few paragraphs, or gotten up and started a walk), the mind will realize it's somewhere else and change its reaction.

Had to butcher the title from:

"The durability of immunity against reinfection by SARS-CoV-2: a comparative evolutionary study"

It seemed to me that this was more general than just for SARS-CoV-2 so it seemed reasonable to shorten it to corona-viral generally. The immunity studied is related to re-infection and doesn't appear to indicate severity of expected recurring disease.
OCaml is old and reliable, and I think it was already proven to work in the industry when Jane Street chose it. Even if it wasn't the best programming language ever, it was still a strong choice at the time, and still is. Pony on the other hand was and still is very young. I'm not saying it's a bad choice, but it's definitely not the same risk profile as OCaml.

It's just OCaml by the way, for Objective Caml. Unless you're talking about the secret Irish fork /s.

There's a nice page on the official website about the history: https://ocaml.org/learn/history.html.

You're not going to find support in a forum with 60+% Apple users. A lot of these people work for or have stock in this company.

They don't see how this is a roadblock to competition and that this device is now in the critical path of 50+% of commerce. (Maybe they'll care more when they have to compete.)

If anyone needs to only download and not seed the torrent at all (to avoid potential copyright infringement action), there's a patch for libtorrent available here: https://web.archive.org/web/20160625100706/citylight.thinkba....

I don't read this as "it was a mistake to use Pony." They state that:

This sounds like, "Our business goals shifted, as did the industry around data science, and Rust's maturity improved such that it made sense for us to migrate our stack."
Don't you think that is something apple should have thought of before doing what they did to cause outcry?

Apple wanted to be the gatekeeper blocking out harmful apps, fine by me.

Apple then wanting to use that gatekeeper status to steal money from app developers, block apps that compete with apple internal apps, and enforce moral choices on what kinds of apps you can install on your phone, evil by me.

They could have done the former without doing the latter, but they fucked it up, and have to pay the piper.
B2 to Cloudflare egress is free, they are both part of Bandwidth Alliance: https://www.backblaze.com/b2/solutions/content-delivery.html
The point is they enforce that third parties have to allow it from within the app itself rather than a website. But Apple's account deletion process is only available on their website.

Could you have selected some workspaces with lower traffic to migrate first? That would have decreased the load on the primary, potentially speeding up the replication, which is a flywheel to enable more customers to migrate to shards.
What's wrong with looking at public code? The code is public, regardless of how it became public - this isn't someone's personal life being exposed. If twitch is damaged by streaming this, it's only because their poor code quality is being examined publicly.

I can certainly understand why twitch banned this and don't blame them (although I think it's stupid), but I see nothing unethical about openly talking about this code in the public now that it's already there.
There are many countries around the world that don't seem to have the same issues with opioids so something must be different. What is it apart from regulation?

I'm not suggesting using them to isolate oneself from them, just taking the edge off the noise while working to get them to tone it down as you say. It's not always as easy as just asking them as I'm sure you're aware.
I would rephrase it as "The App Store policies were always for the benefit of Apple (and customers)."

The priorities have shown very clearly over time.
Twint has one advantage over cards and that is online payments. It is so quick and easy to scan a code and pay than entering credit card details. Yes, I know apple pay can do things like that but I still need a credit card in that case. Twint lets me pay directly out of my bank account or even via prepaid Twint.

The biggest "scam" going on now is the banks specifically Visa pushing their garbage Debit card. For users it seems great as it's cheaper no fee thing, however for vendors it is a nightmare. The fees are astronomical over regular credit cards yet they have to accept them if they want to accept Visa's credit card. Visa found another legal loop hole they can milk and they are going all the way.
When setting up your phone or accessing any apple apps for the first time, there's a (labeled) data collection icon at the bottom of the screen that you can touch for information about what data is collected by each app/process. For the apps, this information is also available in the App Store (just like any other app).

You can also view any collected system analytics in Settings -> Privacy- > Analytics & Improvements. Seems relatively fair to me.
Apple didn't have to lock users out of installing "unapproved" apps on their own. That isn't for the user's benefit and isn't necessary for apple to have a curated app store.
We can get very close, but even if we had technology to make an indistinguishable copy the original wouldn't fall in value and none of the copies would be near it.
