A lot of people seem very worried about going from 300 to 400 ppm. Did the planet encounter this alleged tipping point thing at some point in the past, like when CO2 ppm was 1000, or 2000?
A small typo on the text next to the tree diagram: “the probability of rolling a 5 with the Red die and a 2 with the Blue die is 5/6 x 1/2 = 5/12” should be:”the probability of rolling a 3 with the Red die and a 2 with the Blue die is 5/6 x 1/2 = 5/12”.

There is a frame of reference in which the event and the observation are simultaneous.
Currently using varbinary(max) in database, which limits us to 2 GB per file. Filestream doesn't have that limit which is good.

There are some caveats we'll have to consider though.

> Encryption is not supported on FILESTREAM data.

We currently are under contract to always have data encrypted at rest for some customers. (Yay enterprise!)

> SQL logins will not work with FILESTREAM containers. Only NTFS or ReFS authentication will work with FILESTREAM containers.

We've got so many different environments that our database is hosted in, so this could be hard to do, but perhaps possible. A lot of governmental facilities as customers that will not connect their data to the internet means a real headache when introducing changes.

But I'll still will spend some time to evaluate this. It seems like the easiest technology to introduce and migrate to.

Wow, this seems better than ElementOne?
It has of course been "solved" many times in many toolkits, that wasn't my point.

My point was that each solution is a compromise, and none can ever be one-size-fits-all optimal.

Rendering "a few" items before and after is a heuristic requiring bounds which will produce variable performance impact depending on the content of your list items. It also doesn't account for scroll jumps at all.

Refreshing state is only more efficient than creating/destroying items in some systems and its performance characteristics are again highly dependent on the content of each list item in your application.

Yesterday I was writing an email in Spanish and I put it into DeepL machine learning translation to translate it back to French for me to check if what I wrote made enough sense to be parsed.

I ended the mail with a "Cordialmente" ( ~ Cordially) as it was informal, and it translated this single word to "Veuillez agréer, Madame, Monsieur, l'expression de mes sentiments les plus distingués", which is about the most formal formula possible.

No, they aren't clever. They're practical. There's no such thing as execution here. Packages are archives containing the entire files not differences. The manager downloads it, unpacks it, and adds/removes/replaces the package's files in the system.
Meaningless feels like a stretch here. Your evidence supports a claim much more like "mistaken by almost two orders of magnitude" - which at a sufficient growth rate might be moot.

Mental Models to Navigate Complexity
Interpolating between the extrapolated position and the position sent by the server will still cause ugly discontinuities and they will get worse as the user in questions connection gets worse. In particular it helps with linear motion but angular motion if anything ends up feeling weirder. This is much more visible with fast vehicles where discontinuities ruin the feeling that they have weight than with players.

That CoD video explains what you do instead with the client buffering segment. You show other clients in the past even from the point of view of the latest data you received so you can interpolate so get no discontinuities at the expense of a slightly wrong view of the universe. Your client is one round trip ahead and the other clients are one round trip plus whatever delay behind. Which is where things like peekers advantage come from.

Similarly they state exactly what I’ve said that extrapolation ends up making the game unplayable and again a input buffer on the server is the solution. The concern there is how much you buffer as it impacts latency quite heavily. So their system is dynamic based on the quality of the client connection.

Note also in this case that extrapolation is only done in the server which is not responsible for the visual result and is done based on client input data which is usually sent at a much higher rate than the server sends state about other players back. Consequently the visual discontinuities will be hidden by the interpolation on the clients and will be small as mispredictions are expected to be caught quickly and the players are relatively speaking slow moving. It’s interesting they still need to stop extrapolating and fall back on buffering in the worst case.

The reason determinism is needed is that the client is only sending their input so in order to work out where they are from only that information it must play back deterministically on both client and server. The same series of inputs must result in the same movement otherwise they’d end up in different positions. It’s also very useful because you can then rollback and replay movement if a missed input frame arrives.

Rather than demonstrating your point it refutes it pretty handily and is a pretty good lay explanation of the considerations when writing networked gameplay systems. Believe it or not this has been my bread and butter for the past sixteen years!

The older I get and more professional, the simpler my emails get.

I've long done away with email signatures. I have no signature at all. (Metadata is plenty to let people know my full name, and they can just Google me, or use Superhuman / Rapportive to get info on me in context.)

These days, most of my emails are signed with "-Kenneth" only. No signoff, no signature. The rest don't have a signature at all and just contain a one line response.

For greetings, a simple "Hi" or "Hey" with the recipient(s)' first name does the trick.

Receiving emails with giant email signatures drives me nuts. I don't care to have your logo, 10 contact infos and a giant email disclaimer wasting a full page length of my screen. The worst are the notes "please consider the environment before printing this email." These make me want to roll my eyes so hard.
It's hard to see how an algorithm could be judged "malicious".

Does anyone end email that way (in French)?

Most I've seen are "Bien à vous" or "Bonne journée".

Actually... what are the most common endings in French emails? Thinking that a website that had all of those sorted out, categorised by language and degree of formality, would be really useful. Sometimes people just want the equivalent of "Cheers" in e.g. Spanish?

Also adding on from another thread that got demoted from the front page: I tried usb boot on this board (since it has the same SoC as the Pi 3 B, which supports USB boot), but alas, that didn't seem to work.

The Pi Zero 2 W doesn't seem to do anything at all (no LED activity, no HDMI output) unless there's a microSD card inserted with a valid bootloader and DTB that supports it.
True I love the new chips, but the new screen tech is a bit of a battery hog and isn’t perfect (which now that I write this reminds me of when the Retina displays were first introduced…)

Yeah, I’m not knocking Apple’s tech - but I was hoping for “the latest specs” and what I got was an HDMI 2.0 port, UHS II SD card slot, and so on. It reminds me of when they removed Thunderbolt Display input from the iMac, so you couldn’t use an old iMac as a secondary monitor. Or when they removed the optical sound out from the headphone jack. I won’t even ask why the new Macs don’t have cellular or why Apple hasn’t thrown money at game companies to make better Mac ports or otherwise entice PC gamers consider Mac hardware instead of Windows. Speaking of gaming, the lack of a “console-like” Apple TV is also a bit of a letdown. As is the lack of an Echo Show competitor.

I don’t doubt that this will be like the iPhone all over again - Apple’s late to the party but gets it right. But I also kind of worry it will be Siri all over again - fantastic at first, but ultimately a cancelled HomePod and still a work in progress…

On Windows an admin can selectivly apply individual updates, which isn't possible on macOS, I think. The core algorithm that calculates the dependencies is horribly slow. They are working around that with update rollups and cumulative updates since Windows 10. There are multiple layers of snapshotting going on during updates (VSS + Transactional NTFS).

Then for example "Update telemetry" scans all applications on the system and only gives you the option to upgrade to Windows 11 if it doesn't find anything incompatible. On Apple you just get the option to upgrade and stuff just stops working afterwards.

That first point is basically - you could do everything right on your end and there’s a good chance that a US agent within the foreign government will out you anyway.

I'm born and raised in Italy and TIL. Makes sense, ciao -> sciao -> schiavo (slave).

BTW, interesting fact: "The Venetian word for "slave", s-ciào [ˈstʃao] or s-ciàvo, derives from Medieval Latin sclavus, a loanword from Medieval Greek Σκλάβος, related to the ethnic "Slavic", since most of the slaves came from the Balkans."

It can be both.

View culling is essentially the complexity I'm talking about. View culling is a heuristic, it produces different impacts depending on many variables within the view, as well as the parameters of your cull.
On, what I believe is, a related note (the blog post notes they looked at mailing lists, which are similar), Stackoverflow now considers "Thanks" or anything along those lines to be "noise", yet the person asking the question is trying to elicit feedback, probably quickly and a lot.

That the "community" is against this (which is a contentious claim but certainly a vocal subset are against it) may be an indicator as to why I try not to spend any time on it any more.

This isn't in the slightest bit true. Many UI frameworks provide performant list elements, they are not performant in all cases. Recreating the functionality of those list elements on the web is not the hard problem here: optimising them for your specific application is.
I know that now, hence why that is the first thing my comment makes clear.

The point was that it's not at all obvious that it's not a question to someone not used to it being used as a greeting, given that it's worded as a question, and the intonation is given as a question, and given that many places in the world you wouldn't say the equivalent unless you're actually asking a question.

English feels to me to be pretty extreme relative to other languages with respect to the sheer number of terms that have been reduced to "friendly noises" and stripped of all meaning, to the point that it leads to the number of comments in this thread discussing the nuances of terms the sender most of the time has put no thought into.

I still tend to feel someone who throws out a "friendly noise" like this are usually being rude by using a question as a greeting, because whether you like it or not, it's implicitly acknowledging you don't really care, and so I avoid using it.

Thunderbird does support this. You're using the "Search" box in the UI - use ctrl-shift-F to search in Mail and choose "match any of the following" in the UI and specify 2 rules - one for to, one for from.

London have had machete fights, and riots, and lots of drug dealers, yet I have in 21 years of living here never been in a dangerous situation. Neither parts of those sentence proves anything about the safety of London, just like your videos proves nothing. Anecdotes are not data. Try again.

I'll note I have no idea if Barcelona is safe or not. It's possible it's a crime-ridden shithole, but nobody in this thread have substantiated that claim with a source, despite the person who originally made the claim suggested it was easy to establish with a search - which turned out to not support their claim at all.

It's perfectly possible there are stats that shows that Barcelona is in fact as dangerous as they claimed. But supporting that claim requires actual sources, not random videos.
>> Take for example acetaminophen (aka paracetamol/tylenol): it is borderline ineffective, has been superseded by ibuprofen for almost all use cases, and the required dosage for its tiny effect is also very close to dangerous levels.

This is only really accurate in a small window of analysis. It's been shown that paracetamol + ibuprofen has synergistic effects for most pain-related issues and paracetamol is superior to ibuprofen for migraine headaches; furthermore, the obvious correct headache drug of choice is aspirin/paracetamol/caffeine, aka Excedrin, which is vastly superior to ibuprofen.

I won't argue that paracetamol has acute liver toxicity issues (the largest drug of overdose problems, though a lot of this is intentional rather than accidental), but ibuprofen is abused in a chronic fashion with buildup over time leading to renal failure and worse (pro/amateur athletes are particularly at risk of chronic abuse issues).

I won't argue that paracetamol is way more dangerous than people think, and there should be far more warning labels (which J&J fights against), but I would be genuinely shocked if it got its approval revoked; similarly, I'd expect it to be approved if it was around today as well - especially if we knew about the synergistic effects it has with aspirin and caffeine.
