>It absolutely is. If the person behind was unable to avoid collision, then the collision occurred because they were following too closely.

This is infantile circular logic. It makes for great internet feel good points an little else.

What the other car was doing absolutely matters. Plenty of people have brake checked their way into an accident and wound up paying for it because there were witnesses.

>It is always the driver's responsibility to maintain enough distance that they can safely respond to any action taken by the vehicle ahead

Citation please. I'm particularly interested in one that backs up the word that you thought was important enough to italicize.

My state places no specific requirement for following distance upon drivers. The state driver's manual states a suggested minimum of two seconds.

I spot checked two other states and their drivers' manuals advise similar (one advised three seconds, one advised a variable number depending on speed), neither said anything about being able to account for anything the car in front of you does.
Rockset’s Reverse ETL Integrations Extend the Modern Real-Time Data Stack
I think you are using old information. Any modern SSD should be good for a few hundred to several hundred TB and may reach a PB. It would be very hard to use a personal computer that heavily. Most people would take 20 years or more.
iOS does this on-device, you can access the SQLite database containing the metadata using libimobiledevice's ifuse(1).

So, essentially, think about how you would want someone who is way more intelligent than you, to deal with you.

1) you might enjoy their insight on complex issues, especially if you can trust that they have your best interests at heart...

2) ...but you would want them to not force you into conversations about topics too complex for you to grasp, just because they found it interesting

3) it's ok if you say they are smarter than you, and you don't necessarily expect them to contradict you if you say that, but it would not be as cool if they said they were smarter than you

4) if you have other virtues (social skills, empathy, physical strength or agility, specialized knowledge related to your job), you would want them to respect you for that, even if you both know they are smarter than you
The facial recognition feature is how I figured out someone was doxxing and harassing me on their page. I have mixed feelings.

Limited write cycles will produce data corruption, but what the article explains is that Apple is using the Flash in M1 macs in a similar way to other ARM devices, that is, they have the firmware there.

I don’t know how much time do you expect your mac to last, but write cycles on your firmware should not be much of a concern.
The facial recognition feature is how I figured out someone was doxxing and harassing me on their page. Getting the notification that it thinks I appeared in a photo they had ripped from my FB profile was the tip off. I have mixed feelings.
This comment feels a lot like Rockefeller’s shoe shine
Yes, but why tag people?
Surprised no one mentioned used enterprise gear that fits most requirements without being unwieldly: Ruckus Wireless. You're able to flash any enterprise hardware that is a part of a large deployment with a firmware designed for a single AP (Ruckus unleashed)
In my experience both are valuable, especially when the work you're cranking through is your assigned work.

I 100% agree with you but I would say that many places will turn the lack of participation in Friday beers, book club, and gokarting back at you as not being a good culture fit.

I'm from Iowa where the work culture is much different - even for SWEs. I prefer it to this weird "culture fit" environment out here on the coast because I am paid to work, I am paid to be a software professional. I am most happy when I am working, and I am most happy when I am effectively making software that solves people's problems. If I want to stick around and focus on my assigned work I feel that should never turn around and bite me in the ass... It does consistently.

I've made a huge shift in my career where I realize that I have to go against my own wishes and participate in the gokarting, beers, game nights, etc. You have to go - every time. You have to make as many friends there - every time. My career has gotten much easier the more social I've become. I just resent it because I want to do good work, and go home. I have a family god dammit.
I don't want to repair my laptop either but I want to upgrade my laptop a year or two down the line. The modern laptop can go much further with a simple upgrade like RAM or SSD HD.

Apple's laptop is really limited in this way. The older generation of Apple's laptop allowed you to upgrade RAM and HD.
Luddites. You can't un-invent technology. Like all technology, facial recognition has tremendous potential for good. We should learn to live with the technology, not attempt to forbid its use.

Also, Meta is a bunch of cowards nowadays. They should not have kowtowed to angry Twitter activists. It sets a bad precedent.

I don't like this system where activists bully big companies into compliance with their idiosyncratic moral systems instead of using the government and the laws to codify restrictions and rules in a transparent way that everyone can understand and in which everyone has a say.

If facial recognition is so bad, it should be illegal. If it's not illegal, FB has a responsibility to its shareholders to maximize profit within the law. If, as an activist, can't get support for making facial recognition illegal, then maybe it's not quite as bad as you claim.
that's true, but it's far more likely for the mainboard to get soaked/smashed than the NAND running out of write cycles.
Email the author? It does seem like ssh-over-quic would be a reasonable way forward.

The way I've seen stable coin interest bearing accounts advertised tells me you're wrong, or the companies want you to be wrong.

> Demurrage is only an issue if logistics are badly managed.

Oh man, we could sit around the fire and tell stories all night on this topic.

It's even better when your customer is the primary logistics on the other end, especially when they wanted a better price and they forget to bring the container back for a couple days.

That was our rookie mistake, not having logistics across the lake or not doing exworks.

I might be misinterpreting what you mean by "standalone" but the MK3 isn't a standalone device, it requires that you connect it to your computer. It comes with partner software, Maschine 2, that is the "brains" of it more-or-less.

NI makes a standalone unit in the same line though, it's called the Maschine+. https://www.native-instruments.com/en/products/maschine/prod... I can't comment on it specifically because I've never used it.

What I can tell you, however, is that the MK3 is excellent. It's entirely possible to use it without looking at your computer at all - so if you are looking for something that is standalone in the sense that you don't have to also be actively on your computer, then it does fit the bill for that. (Not sure about you but after working all day on the computer it can be nice to have a hobby that isn't also computer-centric!)

In any case it's a very fun, expressive instrument. The pads might be the best available: they are large and exceptionally sensitive. Overall layout is well-designed, the pots are great, build quality also very good. The NI ecosystem is massive too and you get a lot of stuff for free just by virtue of being part of the ecosystem.

I prefer my Push 2 for certain things, especially noodling around with harmonies and melodies because of its much greater range (64 pads instead of 16, so it covers a lot more octaves), but the MK3's pads are larger and much more sensitive. So there's a bit of a tradeoff there.

My email is in my profile, feel free to drop me a line any time if you have more questions, I love nerding out on this stuff. ;)
To painfully ask yet again, does the ROC make claim to what we in the west call mainland China?

Is it really that hard to say yes or no?
Pity. I liked the feature. Fortunately, we’ve mostly all moved over to use Google’s shared albums with automatic facial recognition and sharing. My friends all have photos I take of them and likewise they share theirs with me.

I think Google has figured out a lot of fun sharing tools for people in trusted environments: location sharing, photo tagging, etc.

I’m rather impressed with it all. Good stuff.
Who needs facial recognition when we're going to be uploading our minds into the metaverse?

Who opted in? I certainly don't remember ever doing it, yet auto tagging has always worked for me (both when I am tagging pictures and when others are tagging me).
>This has a key role in whether individual decisions are cast as a matter of ‘freedom’ versus ‘solidarity’, and regulations as restriction or protection.

Not to be overly pedantic, but Apple didn't release any quad-core MacBook Airs in 2015.(see https://support.apple.com/kb/sp714?locale=en_US) Intel didn't even have quad-core ULV CPUs available until late 2017-2018.

I only comment because the jump between dual & quad core is a pretty big one, as is the presumed jump to newer chips with 6, 8, and 16 core processors in modern machines.

Dual core has remained surprisingly usable for light tasking though. Whether it is a well-loved MacBook or a battle-scarred ThinkPad from that era, Intel's dual core CPUs have held up well (even if it means they didn't feel the need to push their CPU design as much in the subsequent years.)
Aside from the pesky capacitors, but then you don't need a schematic to find the part surrounded by burned PCB.

It's is a great shame how many LCD's have been landfilled for want of a part that costs nickel.
Because the two countries do not share definitions on what that even means. They both have to agree and both need a set procedure for adjudicating such disputes for it to be real. If the US says it's "IP theft" and China disagrees, there is a dispute on the legality of the act in question.

So for example, in France, there are many acts which are trademark infringement in France that are not trademark infringement in the US. A Frenchman can accuse an American of trademark infringement for an act that is not trademark infringement in the United States, but is infringement in France. They can bring a lawsuit in France, win, and potentially enforce that judgment on assets in the US with the cooperation of an American court despite the fact that the American did not, by the definitions of American law, infringe on anyone's intellectual property.

There are no such cooperative arrangements between the US and China despite recent attempts to set them up. There are also only limited agreements on what is and what isn't permitted.
We will eventually get to a state where solar and wind is all we have/need. The requirement will be gridscale energy storage that contains enough storage for days of operation.
thanks will do, it's MIT either way.
Not in the program yet (and very likely won't be), but with the people I've been chatting with at University of York, this definitely seems to be the case. The professors I've been talking to indicated that I would be hopping directly into research towards an end goal instead of spending a bunch of time in coursework.

They also seemed to assume a lot more knowledge about CS and math than most US grad schools do. Presumably you're just expected to enter with most of the knowledge required to research your dissertation. For my application, I had to write a 5-6 page proposal on what I wanted to research, and had to more-or-less defend the proposal during the admissions interview.

I'm not as familiar with the American PhD process, but my dad said for him (about 38 years ago, PhD in Aerospace at Notre Dame) it was more or less akin to the undergrad admission process: he took the GRE, sent a few transcripts, interviewed a few people, was accepted, and after about a year he decided what he wanted to focus on.
In this case how is Oracle different ? You can use it for any purpose... just follow the license.... which requires selling kidney, or two...
The hoops they have to jump through just to enable some really cool features down the line is sad.

I don't know why adding another opt in wasn't enough, it's not like the haters are going to believe they deleted the templates anyways.
Then explain why a new law needs to be passed.

Things like slander and libel require clear demonstration that you've been damaged monetarily etc.

I don't see how you can clearly show damages from a person deciding to commit suicide or feeling bad because of trolls. Prove it.

Regardless, at the end of the day I don't really care whether there's a legal framework in place. I don't agree that it's helpful to society at all and I'm going to err on the side that almost no speech harmful to anyone and should NEVER result in imprisonment. There's almost no road where criminalizing trolls on the internet leads to a better society or helps mentally ill people.
At some point, the CPU is almost irrelevant. A huge issue is software locked to a certain motherboard. And the fact that your Raspberry Pi isn’t going to be running x86 software flawlessly and doesn’t come with nearly the same peripherals as a typical laptop (without a lot more cost… but even then, a 1:1 replacement isn’t possible).

The assumption that tech gets exponentially cheaper over time, ie Moore’s Law, only applies to a portion of the hardware, one the CPU, GPU, RAM, and storage. It doesn’t apply to the glue that holds it all together, the integrated display, keyboard, mouse, speakers, etc. In fact, a lot of webcams are actually worse than they were 10 years ago. AND Moore’s Law has significantly slowed. Apple Silicon is a big improvement, but this is a step change, and it’s not likely to be a continuation of the 18 Month Moore’s Law doubling time of years past.
From what i've read about all their investment regarding this issue, many of the homes they purchased also needed extra investment/rehab.
I think they tried their hand at automation/ai purchasing as they had a lot of data but something fell really short of expectations.
What Z did is a bit outside of the current market norms so i wouldn't really use it as a market signal, i'm looking at it more as their idea/system just fell short.
But at the same time i was expecting the housing market to go lower into the start of this year, boy was i wrong as the market dynamics changed fast.
Yes? If CPU X is the only trusted CPU, or you are only trusted to run your software on that CPU, then everything should run on that core. If you rent 12 of 128 cores, then it may run on any of those 12 cores.
Fedora is Red Hat's "flagship" distro, in the sense that it's where all the cool new changes debut. Since Red Hat's pretty involved in core Linux development, Fedora is often one of the first places you can get major changes without having to set it up yourself. Like Pipewire for example: it's been available on Arch and Fedora for a while now but Fedora's the first place you can use it without having to set it up yourself afaik.
There are adults on Reddit, but the vast vast VAST majority are children/teens - as it should be.

I'm only on there because I have an addiction, but I can't remember the last time it has had a meaningful impact on my life. I don't use facebook, but I honestly think Reddit is more toxic, overall. I can't remember the last time I felt reading it had some sort of value. Probably when r/athiesm was on the front page, back when the site as a whole was trying to have meaning. Now it's just a den of teenagers screaming at themselves and their parents.
Surely one should be able to just tag _the album_ instead of each photo?

I always figured this constraint was kept as a happy convenience so that Facebook have a steady supply of training data for their face recognition service.

If they are shutting that service down, maybe they'll let us tag albums?
Please share the flags and necessary services!

> Once you do that, it's literally just normal CSS with extra steps.

Yeah, I agree. That's not the way to go. Components is the way to go.

Regarding using tailwind in general, I had a few issues in the beginning, too, until I figured out how it's supposed to be used.

It is a bit tough to use it with frameworks that don't allow you to create components in a more modular way. But if you get to create these components, it's really a joy. It reminds me a bit of the BEM methodology (just a bit).

Again... it's also a matter of what each person is vibing with.

You’re really depending on your mobo to not blow a cap and using way more energy. A used older ryzen 5 is comparable and much better, and the mobos are current. Even a newer intel F processor isn’t much more the 3770K is way overpriced for its performance.
>> Gnome is beautiful.

I've been using Fedora since 2005 and the one thing I don't like is the gnome desktop. I run a 55" 4K screen and spread out my windows like work on a real desktop. If I want to start something I have to move the mouse 5 miles to the upper-left corner (where there is no visible cue) to get the launcher-bar to appear. And then the bad appears, but all my windows magically rearrange and shrink, and the launcher now appears at the bottom of the screen, so I have to move my mouse 7 miles down to start something. I'd love to have the launcher ever-present and optionally on the left, right or bottom. But as people say, the gnome developers "know what's best for people" and do it how they see fit.

Most everything else about gnome is OK, and Fedora in general is great IMHO.
It's true with electronic devices in general. I've tried to pass down (still in support) older tablets, Chromebooks, etc. through a friend who has some nieces and nephews. Basically, to quote my friend, "no one's interested in your old electronic crap."

Now I'm sure there are families with less money who might think differently but it's definitely not straightforward in general to hand down old computer-related stuff.
At the beginning there is no rotation. The cloud may start with roughly uniform density along with some momentum. Over time, this density becomes higher in the middle and lower around the outside. Everything in the cloud begins accelerating toward the place of higher density which forms into the sun while at the same time continuing in the direction according to its initial momentum. This is what causes rotation that leads to the formation of a disk. Any time you have momentum in a direction other than the local centre of mass (star, planet, etc), your path of travel curves into a circle (actually an ellipse, but that’s another topic: see Kepler’s laws).
People who need to write FORTRAN are also very specialized in other technical capacities. FORTRAN is used a lot in high performance scientific & engineering computing. So companies are paying for the ability of a person to grok the high level mathematics necessary to justify using FORTRAN.
I know everyone says "I'm a good driver" but I'm religious about following distance when driving, rage filled commuters behind me be damned. I get really anxious as a passenger now for that reason.

But I swear, around where I am the left lane is reserved for cars packed like a tuna can traveling 80+ mph.

While yeah the drivers are in the wrong, throwing a malfunctioning tesla in there is going to hurt a lot of people that wouldn't have been hurt if it didn't do that.

I have a good friend who is extremely like-able. He’s also smart and generally capable, but his likability is a significant driver of his success.

IMO, that’s as it should be, because he’s gravitated/been pushed toward roles where likability matters and contributes to effectiveness.
I would think that is a good guess. Repetition is irritating to read but works well when something is performed since the audience does not have a readers ability to simply go back and reread a difficult or important passage.
It is completely tangential to my comment. Please take off your political blinkers and debate the issue reasonably.

While Pipewire is not default, Wayland absolutely is and has been the defalt on distros defaulting to GNOME for a very long time, unless the distro patched gnome to not do so (like debian did with Stretch)
IDK, I get a lot of fulfillment out of the work that I do. The terms of my employment are between me and my employer, and if I don't like those terms I have a skillset that allows me to go elsewhere. Maybe instead of complaining about things they should work to fix the underlying issue.
He may be the only neoclassical economist to admit that, but most of them have the hubris to think it. I almost suspect Asimov intended a satire: "Humanity is complicated, but fear not! I have numbers, and those allow me to completely ignore humanity!"
You can get the buttons back if you want, at the cost of some screen real estate.

& agreed, the UI distinction between swiping up & swiping up from the bottom edge is both a pain to distinguish physically & I can never remember which is which. Swiping in from the right for back also makes tapping things on the right edge a bit of a lottery: will the UI decide I was in fact swiping in as a back gesture this time? Who knows...

Gestures are a nice idea in principle, but in practice I'm not sure that they're an improvement on actual buttons you know that you're pressing.
