I find that making sure -v always runs is pretty helpful. The one or two times I've noticed what was being printed and immediately interrupted is well worth the cost of my console being polluted in other instances.
Yes and no, but mostly no. Lighter skin reflects more light (which means more signal), so it's inherently easier to image (it would be harder in extremely intense light, but getting fast shutter speeds is a lot easier than dealing with not having enough photons). Auto-exposure algorithms tend to work more accurately on lighter skin, too, which could be improved but is generally not something implemented at the hardware level in a webcam as far as I know (software can ask for different iso sensibility and shutter speeds).
It’s not uncommon to be a foot from the elevator on some models of jump planes - when flying level, and without ‘floating’ out the door like some folks are prone to do. As with many things, ‘it depends’. Most jumpers aren’t going to be happy burning the altitude they just bought with their jump ticket so the pilot can be a little lazier though.

Licensed Clinical Social Workers in California have to get 3,200 hours of supervised work after graduation.

This isn't "social worker" in the loose sense of someone in the community. These are health professionals who receive extensive training in mental and emotional conditions.

While this is a thing I'd very much like to try I make a point out of not using Chrome && badgering everyone who tries to force me to use it.

Had to use it the other day to verify if a particular bug at a customer system was Firefox-specific (as usual it wasn't) but it meant a four months streak or so was wasted :-/

So no, while this is really interesting it still has to be even more interesting for me to allow that piece of modern spyware to run on my machine.

(Some might think I'm to harsh here but my understanding is Chrome is almost as much spyware as much as the famous Bonzibuddy that we struggled with earlier this millenium, only somewhat less buggy ;-)
TOR has been an invaluable tool for me for its ability to circumvent state censorship in an undetectable way.

At some point in my career I was involved in some journalistic reporting in Saudi Arabia; had I used a regular VPN, it could have been easily detected, and in best case defeated, worst case put me in serious legal trouble, which in Saudi Arabia can easily end in corporal punishment and/or death. TOR allowed me to circumvent all that and keep reporting on government official and police force corruption in a safe way, in a country that frankly could use a lot more of this type of journalism.

Thank you, TOR project!

a lot of people underestimate how expensive it is just to have a 10g/25g/100g network and maintain it. that alone is extremly expensive. especially when you want it over multiple locations. if you want to connect two datacenters with a low latency high troughput network you would probably go to aws since that is cheaper.
and that is just the network, you also need to maintain other stuff like storage. maintaining a storage network is extremly hard. like s3/block storage, etc.

That's how it is today in San Francisco and a few other places. Are they actually gone, or are they just injecting themselves in the dick at a taxpayer funded injection site?
Yeah they must have falsified reviews or the parser is broken. New York Times doesn't even break the first page of results.

Edit: Also they should add a filter for "paywall" recipe sites. I haven't been able to find any of the top recipes as browseable.
That’s exactly what I said. I said firefighting is an area where you cannot rely on just googling something. You need to know the information, period. I wasn’t talking about in-person or online tests, I was responding to OP who said that that style of testing where you can’t have access to materials is incongruous with how most things work.

I think that for the ingredients you need to treat the entire phrase as a single unit. For instance, when i put in apple as an ingredient you return results that need apple cider vinegar or pineapple.
The dating economy is quite painful, and there likely is inequality of attraction, but the author does make an incorrect usage of their own evidence.

"If these findings are to be believed, the great majority of women are only willing to communicate romantically with a small minority of men while most men are willing to communicate romantically with most women. The degree of inequality in “likes” and “matches” credibly measures the degree of inequality in attractiveness, and necessarily implies at least that degree of inequality in romantic experiences. It seems hard to avoid a basic conclusion: that the majority of women find the majority of men unattractive and not worth engaging with romantically, while the reverse is not true."

The 'like' #s that the author quoted and Gini coefficient measured outgoing likes, not incoming likes / total matches. So for Hinge at least, the takeaway isn't that "women are only willing to communicate romantically with a small minority of men" but that they are willing to initiate a conversation with only a small number of men.

Likewise for the OKCupid blog post the author used as evidence, the blog post demonstrated that women viewed only a small fraction of men as highly attractive, but also showed that women still responded to and and went on dates with men they ranked as not as attractive. The latter the author of this piece ignored.

You have to show up and be competent. Showing up is necessary but insufficienct.
The major drawback of nuclear seems to be their large power output and long durability. Once you built the few plants you need (France and Sweden for example) you don't have to build any more for 50 or so years and then the manufacturing capability dies.

Hoping for companies like NuScale, maybe they can get a continuous operation going and churn out cheaper and cheaper plants.

It looks like the bigger iMacs will get optional bigger CPUs. I haven't heard about the Mini, but it has space and thermals to spare after ditching x86 space heaters, so an M1 Pro or M1 Max would still fit neatly.

As for the MacPro, my guess is Apple will keep the chip count to one, but add more performance cores while moving some accelerators outside the CPU package. Video encoders/decoders aren't as bandwidth-hungry as GPUs.
Sales taxes weren't a thing then. Before the 20th century government played pretty much no part in the average person's life.
My son wants to learn how to make games but I have no game development experience.

I don’t blame the school for that at all. Mental health requires a masters degree and pays next to nothing. You can make more as a teacher. This isn’t a secret.
They exist but finding and recruiting those people costs a non trivial amount of time and money. Both of which could be spent on whatever secret sauce your company does.

I've always wanted a search engine that searched mainly (only?) Stack Overflow, Reddit, and a handful of other authentic sites.

One note: You.com seems to include Stack Overflow scrapers in the results. Would be better with those removed. These two results go the same content, one on SO and one scraped from it: https://i.imgur.com/TwvDIiC.png
If you just add metadata SSDs you’re also adding IOPS to the pool. The question then becomes whether that improves performance more than if you added those same SSDs without the split (my guess would be not splitting is better, since the IO load will be better balanced across drives).

Are there any existing reactor types, blueprints or built, that are engineered toward utilizing spent fuel first and foremost?

If not, I hope France seriously considers using breeder reactors to reduce leftover radioactive material.

Otherwise, I think this is fantastic news. In fact even if they build light water reactors I think it is the ideal base load solution to bridge the gap from oil and coal.

Yea... Requiring the extension for navbar searches was a tough choice.

You actually can try it out in incognito mode and any other browser. But we found that without the convenience of a navbar search, most people won't give it a proper try either way.

I hope we can drop this requirement even in Chrome when we become one of the default options.
We will implement an a/b test and see if we can get rid of the requirement even earlier.

If you set your search engine default to https://you.com manually in Chrome with "https://you.com/search?q=%s" you will not need the extension... but for most people convenience wins and well...

It's tough to go up against a monopoly that controls the browser too?

Happens for me too, Firefox on iOS.

Edit: it badgers me to install it in Chrome even in mobile Safari.

Edit 2: seems there is a search box on top of the page. It works but I didn't notice it initially because

- the page was so intensely focused on getting me to install a Chrome extension (both in
Firefox on iOS and Safari on iOS)

- and the placeholder text ("you.com")looked like a decoration initially (try something like "type here" or something)
I have both monkeybrains and comcast, with two of us working from home it is worth it for peace of mind. The way the concrete flooring and stucco walls in the building work means tethering doesn't work very well but I would go with that otherwise. They are both pretty reliable and pretty fast overall, much faster than DSL. But have been a few times one goes down, or has intermittent packet loss. The monkeybrains setup we use goes over coax and it is compatible with comcast going over the same physical coax and a media splitter.
Why? Please enlighten me. Also, what else should be stripped out?

And, people on other continents were not killing one another?

History records only a minuscule fraction of the human past, and most of the extinctions (until very recently) occurred well before there were even means to record history. I don't see how you would be able to draw any such conclusion, even if it were true.
For me, what emerges from this story is the lack of anticipation on the part of the French government. For years, nuclear power was discredited because it was not environmentally friendly, so we shut down power plants, and now we have to refabricate them? All this makes no sense. Moreover, the production of a nuclear power plant is very long, how are we going to do it in the meantime?

Standards are not the issue. Content is. There is no metaverse; just a lot of empty rooms and walled gardens with not a lot of compelling stuff to do in them. All the content is where the people and the audience with money are, which is the walled gardens provided by Netflix, Amazon, Apple, Google, etc. Then there are various social platforms. News, games, etc. All vaguely connected and accessible via this thing called "the internet" which despite the fact that is half a century old at this point is still a surprisingly loosely defined something. Creating more standards just adds more empty rooms. It's the content problem that needs to be solved.

There's this notion that "the metaverse" is going to require special hardware, special software, etc. Of course many of us have been playing 3D games on 2D screens just fine for the last few decades. Adding goggles to the mix makes some of those games a bit more immersive of course but mostly they work fine without the goggles as well. It's not clear to me that the metaverse actually requires new hardware.

Which raises the question why we don't have it (whatever it is, which is a relevant thing that people seem to be asking). A lot of those games are multiplayer and basically involve people socializing for large amounts of time. I never really engaged with world of warcraft but I know multiple people that spend enormous amounts of time on that and other games. Is that "the metaverse"? Maybe. It's definitely an escape from reality for some. Is doing the same with some VR goggles going to be massively different? Some people probably already do that.

If you stop focusing on hardware and formfactor and just ask the question if having the same stuff that we have today (aka. the Internet), but with AR/VR goggles is actually worth having, the answer is probably going to be no. That's the problem. Either we have the meta verse already and it's a bit underwhelming or we don't really have it just yet because it hasn't actually been invented yet.

Neal Stephenson's Snow Crash is 30 years old now and actually predates much of what we now are used to. His recent books are also quite nice and features some updated musings on what the internet used to be and could become. E.g. "Fall, or Dodge in Hell", published three years ago or so, features blockchains, ar goggles, post truth society, people using bots to spread misinformation and drive political (and other) agendas, and a few other things. It paints a pretty dystopian near future (or even present day). But no Metaverse. A nice observation in that book is that "the internet" stopped being a special thing when multiple generations had grown up with it and mostly a term used by older generations that actually still remembered a world without it. That would be us.

You know, we've considered it and we've been approached by a couple of publishers in the "hyper casual" space to go the route of free-but-with-IAPs. First the terms of industry-standard contracts are onerous. And second...well, I personally love casual games. And I never minded paying a reasonable amount for games I play. And then there are games like Two Dots that I really, really liked but the endless monetization just gets to be too much.

This is just our preference. We don't have anything against ad-supported or IAP-supported games. We just feel that there is still a pool of mobile players out there who don't mind purchasing a casual game outright.

And who knows, we might decide to collaborate with a publisher on a future game. We'll see what the future brings.

Because it maps user IDs to names so that you can see names in `ls -l` and `who` and such.
> I might be giving away which company this was at this point, I don't know if this is how it's done at other large companies.

Yes, you are, it sounds like Google, and I had the same experience with them, except I had a degree.

> I rocked my interviews (which was the feedback provided via the recruiter)

A lot of times, recruiters aren't at liberty to provide truthful and direct feedback. Also, you might have done well overall, but one of the interviewers tanked you. It all depends. You might have gotten a good signal (but not strong on all of them, just "good enough") from all your interviews except one, and on that one you got a strongly negative one. Hiring committee looks at this combination of signals and decides "no". This is really common.

Hiring a bad candidate and having to fire them later is extremely expensive, so the interview process prioritizes decreasing false positives rather than false negatives. Which means that unless they are absolutely certain you are a good fit, it is a pass. But I can pretty much guarantee you that if you got to onsites and then later got declined by the hiring committee, it wasn't your lack of degree that got you passed over.

I searched for 'Pouchdb full text search', saw the horizontal scrolling cards then immediately switched back to Startpage.com. I can't see how sorting through info with horizontal scroll could ever be an improvement. It's bad enough on desktop, but most searches happen in mobile where it's even more annoying.

This is cotrect. Wikipedia informs poorly on subjects that have political or cultural significance, favoring heavily certain ideologies over neutral presentation of facts. It has been hijacked by activists that make it impossible to introduce any data that is outside of what is fashionable today. Wikipedia still rides its old reputation, but does not deserve it any more.
If frantically trying to get a hand signal across worked, then so be it. Someone who doesn't know how to signal SOS still might notice the flashing and look closer to notice the sense of urgency.

So I wouldn't call it a lie. The signal itself might not have gotten the message across, but the frantic attempt at displaying it did.

>When you run your own system, you have to develop the entire system up front and maintain it on the backend. The hardware is cheap by comparison to the salaries and development costs you pay

The development costs are OTC that are amortised during the life of the solution. Whereas in xAAS, they are MRC. The longer your tech refresh cycle, the cheaper it is. It's inherent to the pricing model.

Also when you get down to the cruz if it, these solutions (like openstack or vSphere), are software platform that provides similar features. There's not much development costs, it's just software licensing and PS.

In terms of operations, it's not like you can get rid of sysadmins, they just morphed into DevOps.

>Probably double that once you add in fully-loaded costs as well as the compensation for ~2 managers to manage them.

You might as well add all sorts of additional costs such as egress charges on exit and cloud consultancy.

Not just the ceiling height matters. Older buildings I've been in tend to have very narrow staircases and hallways (not enough room for elbows and shoulders), light fixtures mounted directly at or below my eye level, rooms in which it would be impossible to lie down with arms above head, and/or showers that barely reach chest height. And I am not particularly tall.
You act like AWS doesn't require you to have a team, or carefully transition infrastructure. Because of that your cost estimate is much higher than the couple additional people you should actually need.

> They probably need closer to 3-5yrs to give the same level of documentation, API’s, tooling, processes, UI’s and training that AWS already provides.
