Off-screen buffers? So now you’re prescribing a particular rendering architecture for every app to follow? I thought this was supposed to be just a generic sandbox with a canvas, with no strings attached, but now you require everything to be present in off-screen buffers for your OCR to work? Firstly, it won’t be generic anymore, and secondly, it will also be extremely inefficient.
> Whales have the capability to far outstrip humans in intelligence (if you accept that neuron count and neuron connections are the raw inputs).

Understood normally, the raw input also includes the software installed in the whale's brain. This limits the potential capability of whales.

If you were to overwrite that with software of your own design, you'd have a robot in the body of a whale, but not an actual whale.

The problems that MIDI 2.0 solves seem to be of the kind that musicians don't have, and definitely don't justify switching away from a simple three-wire connector that's the same on both ends (either 5-pin DIN or 3.5mm TRS which is gaining traction these days).

Yup the superimposition is currently setup to ignore light in the room. I experimented with having it respond to light in the room, but ran into issues with the image rendering way too dark. I'll spend some more time fine tuning it and seeing if I can get more realistic light rendering into a future release
Single tenant architecture typically means one client per database. IOW, if you have multiple clients, you create a separate database for each client. This prevents one category of programming errors from exposing client data to the wrong client.

In a multi-client architecture, some or all clients are stored in a single database. Most of the tables have additional columns for a client ID, etc in order to logically separate one client's data from all of the others
Common use cases: if DI can inject different implementations, you can have a PostgresDaoImpl and SqliteDaoImpl. The DI config for running in prod uses all the Postgres implementations, while the impl for running unit tests locally uses the Sqlite impl.

Your code stays clean, because nothing on the consumer side needs to change if in prod/test or postgres/sqlite. Better still, your code doesn't even need awareness that prod/test environments even exist. Keeps things simpler in the long run.

From your article, M1 inclusions changed in May 2020, to include Savings & other Checkable deposits which were previously in M2. M1 is now effectively the same as M2 and is no longer reported independently.

To my knowledge, there have been no significant changes to the definition of M2 in 2020. The increase there is real. The M2 definition change mentioned in the article was on Jan 1, 1973.

The relationship is pretty simple

nominal_rate = real_rate + inflation_rate

where the real rate is set exogenously. This implies a positive correlation between the nominal rate and the inflation rate, which is consistent with what we observe, e.g. https://miro.medium.com/max/1400/1*b3RDeRT7rPxYEdoFnZEJRg.pn...
Is that "official" figure from Toyota, or from an independent testing group? A huge number of manufacturers have been caught or admitted to, cheating on their emissions figures - including CO2 levels. Claimed figures are basically worthless.

Why would you think that a compact hybrid would have only slightly better CO2 performance compared to a city bus per passenger? It doesn't even make sense for the vehicle as a whole. Googling around, I came up with this:

https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20200317-climate-change-c...

...shows that your figure is 90g per km for the bus as a whole, not per km/passenger.

Every chart I've seen on co2 or fuel use per mile per person, busses, bicycles, and rail are king. Ride shares are the absolute worst because of all the wasted miles....followed by private SUV and car use.

If you do a google image search for "co2 emissions per passenger mile" you can see endless charts from different studies.
or the corporate entity has borrowed funds at the super low interest rates for general purposes which it uses for this purpose

cursory google search shows $1.1bn in bonds issued that way

> I want the equivalent of the LHC for cross species communication.

This is not a valid concept. What would the "equivalent of the LHC for communication between ordinary Americans and the Twitter API" look like? What uses would it have?

There's nothing out there that can receive arbitrary messages. Communication -- of any kind, with anything -- is limited to messages that the other party is capable of receiving.
What about "no" orientated questions? I tend to ask questions like this, but have never read Chris Voss' book.
I wish they'd limit it to just stopping credential stuffing.

Here's my scenario: My electricity provider publishes the month's electricity rates on the first of the month, I want to scrape these so that I can update the prices in Home Assistant. This is a very simple task, and it's something that Home Assistant can do with a little configuration. Unfortunately this worked exactly once, after that it started serving up some JavaScript to check my browser.

The information I'm trying to get is public and can be accessed without any kind of authentication. I'm willing to bet that they flipped the anti-bot stuff on their load balancer on for the entire site instead of doing the extra work to only enable it for just electricitycompany.com/myaccount/ (where you do have to log in).

I also asked the company if they'd be willing/able to push the power rates out via the smart meters so that my interface box (Eagle-200) could pick it up, they said they have no plans to do so.

The next step is to scrape the web site for the provincial power regulator, which shows the power rates for each provider. Of course, the regulator's site has different issues (rounding, in particular), I haven't dug any further to see if I can make use of this.

All of this effort to get public information in an automated fashion.
tl;dr:

Glfw is a library used most often by beginners learning graphics programming [but also in production systems]. A bit of code in that library shifts a char value c left by 24 places, yielding a 32-bit int value. If the top bit of the char (c & 0x80) is 1, that shifts it into the sign bit of the int, changing its sign, which is Undefined Behavior, and the compiler is free to do anything, including both what you wanted, and crashing. Compiling with "undefined behavior sanitizer" on, as Zig does by default, traps the event, causing the requested crash. Building without sanitization, nothing notices, and everything "just works".

A simple way to fix this would be to shift [wrong: c by 24u, "(c << 24u)"][right: "(unsigned(c) << 24)"], eliminating the Undefined Behavior while producing an identical instruction sequence, and all would be well.

Among permitted behaviors is launching missiles and just not even executing. In this case the compiler was not able to prove that a char value with the high bit set certainly would or certainly could not appear in that context. If it could prove it could not, then there would be no UB and everything would be fine. If it could prove such a value would appear, then it would consider itself justified in deleting all the code both after and leading up to the misuse, back to the point where a choice determined whether to enter the erroneous bit, and also the code making the choice, and likely the code that computes the value used in making the choice.

Perhaps surprisingly, this happens all the time and makes our programs smaller and faster than they would be otherwise. Still, people often complain about it.

If your testing does not exercise the code path that was deleted, then even with the UB sanitizer turned on, you might not notice that the compiler would have, without, chosen to delete that code. But deleting it is more likely to get your mistake noticed.

The most common source of this particular brand of UB is multiplying int values where the product does not properly fit in an int result. (Even Rust allows this, although it can be persuaded to trap misuses, with some care.) You might be tempted to do all your multiplications with unsigned ints, but you do not really get better results that way; often that just makes it even harder to find mistakes.
I doubt farmers would buy seeds for $100 / 1k seeds after the first season unless harvested seeds were not viable for planting or if the seeds were some type of specialized hybrid whose license prevented farmers from replanting their own seeds. Both possibilities would exclude selling the seeds for profit.
It's all kinds of confusing.

AFAIK there is no botanical notion of vegetable. It's a culinary/food term, which should just mean "edible plant matter". Which would make culinary fruit just a subset of vegetables. But for some reason popular usage dictates that the category "vegetable" excludes some sweet tasting fruit, staple starches and some other things.
To be honest, those definitions are looking pretty arbitrary. I read the other day[1] (from an academic economist, though perhaps not a mainstream one?),

>> The government, Fed and Treasury, basically printed up about $5 trillion of new cash and treasury debt -- these are largely perfect substitutes so the composition doesn't really matter.

I take this to mean, "interest rates are around zero, and the debt is going to be rolled over when it comes due." An I guess Treasury mostly issues short-term debt, and the Fed is holding short-term rates down, so if we assume new debt issuance has ~no interest-rate impact, fiscal effects seem to have more relevance to inflation than monetary ones:

- Monetary interventions mostly trade "money-like" things for other "money-like" things, both sides denominated in dollars. Maybe the actual dollars involved are "created", but the bonds bought are effectively retired, so no real net effect.

- Fiscal interventions involve creation of "money like" things and trading them for goods and services, bidding up prices.

Interest rate markets look like they're expecting some give in the short term, so maybe this will stop being quite as true, but it looks like those markets aren't predicting anything like "normalisation" over the longer term.

Gforth is a fairly large Forth but it is still a Forth in the sense that cells can hold untyped machine addresses, etc. You can write realtime applications in Forth (deterministic execution paths, no gc delays etc), it has its own weird metaprogramming model, etc. I don't think 8th is anything like that. I haven't used 8th though.

Why would they distribute the ML weights file if it isn't being used for logging or reporting? Of course I do theorize that it is actually being used.

> Large scale batteries are now viable as a storage mechanism for renewables

They are economical viable for solar for 3-4 hours every night, which is where they are being deployed. The article talks primarily about the UK with wind being the primary energy source, and so rather than a solar cycle of 24hrs you have wind fluctuations with lulls. The article calculate this to about 1200 GWh.

The articles I have seen on solar + batteries is a capacity of 80% for 4 hrs. I have not seen clear numbers but I would guess that they do get a fairly high discharge rate each day, thus providing an return of investment when the price is at its highest point each day. For wind you would need to have as much capacity as the worst lulls, and they would only really return profits during the lulls (if we do not count subsidizes). There would be some profits from slews, but most of the cost would be going to capacity that isn't needed for most part of the year.
In areas with less than great job markets, housing has not really exploded in value.

Which hey, they have less than great job markets. But there are lots of small to medium employers with solid jobs in most of those markets.
there was a study from a German national healthcare provider (BARMER) that said that 7% of the people who had covid were ill (and not working) still 3 months after infection. This would mean that the amount of people who still had lingering effects but working would be higher (well, especially in the US) so these long covid effects shouldn't be entirely dismissed regarding labor figures. However, I agree they are only one part of a bigger picture.

JIT's epitome is vertical integration so i don't think so. JIT made this all much more resilient because everyone has smaller, lower orders allowing everyone to a greater percentage of the total stock. What happened was people got alittle nervous and jumped off the JIT band wagon and tried to ensure they had large inventories to weather the storm. The big guys with the biggest orders got what they wanted at the expense of us plebs.
At some point it cannot continue this way. I wonder what will happen when those empty houses suddenly cannot sell for more than their purchase price. Will people start living there because now they aren't a burden to the new owner? Or will the market promply crash so even moderately wealthy people will lose their previously overvalued houses because they cannot pay their mortgages anymore due to rising interests?

It should be made clear that glfw is also used by production software as well; I’ve spotted it in games, and also my terminal emulator of choice (kitty.)

> In fact, I’m so impressed with how well The Profit scenarios illustrate the value of capitalism that I now build upon it a challenge to socialists: please describe in detail how The Profit style enterprise reform would happen under socialism.

It probably wouldn't. So what? Is the argument here really "an economic system is only viable if it can accommodate CNBC's The Profit?" A society with a different economic system would have different structures in place for reforming failing businesses. For instance — off the top of my head — conditional grant or loan programs that oblige the recipient to seek professional management counselling, perhaps. They might work better, or they might work worse. But they wouldn't be The Profit.

That said, I don't think that this sort of enterprise reform happens much under capitalism, either. Sure, it happens on one reality TV show, but that's not a real data point. Consider this claim made in the article:

> Another lesson from The Profit is that firm problems are personal problems. The son who can’t step out from the shadow of the father and the father who can’t let go. The two brothers who haven’t gotten over the death of their father and the problems this creates in the firm they have inherited. The siblings who are still fighting to get their parent’s attention.

This is reality TV! The episode where the problem arose from zoning laws or product/market fit didn't get produced. You can't draw conclusions from something which is designed primarily to be dramatic and entertaining, rather than to provide a realistic survey of the problems faced by small businesses. If this kind of investment were especially profitable, lots of people would be doing it, and we'd be able to point at the statistical impact it has on small businesses instead of appealing to a TV narrative about it.

Your typical location might place you on the route bus drivers use to return to a depot or to get to the start of a popular route. Or the time you're out and about might coincide with when a large number of busses are coming into, or going out of, service. For example, if you work offset hours you'd easily see the pre or post rush hour ramp up/down traffic.

Out of service busses also travel faster than in service ones; as you note, you outpace busses on your bike.

Perhaps look up research instead of relying upon personal anecdotal observations by one person in one city, subject to observational biases?

The research is likely to be highly accurate given most public bus operators have very good data about ridership numbers and fuel use per vehicle and route.

With great power comes great responsibility. I've seen Spring projects where DI was a total rat nest of hundreds of XML wireup config files. Downhill with a tailwind, it just might boot correctly, after minutes classpath scanning for dependencies.

Use DI judiciously where it provides the most value. Type, if you can type it (e.g. I vastly prefer explicit wireup in Guice Module.java files over Spring's "stringly typed" XML files. Type checking is more likely to catch classpath errors and typos. Event better, use compile time macro wireup like Scala's Macwire.
