I built a three speed road bike, and its downfall was riding with others due to the low ratio. When you're riding solo, you can ride at the right speed for a gear. But in a group, others are choosing your speed for you. Also, I like having a few more gears after mile 30 or 40.

I don't know what is the website you're running or how many people use it or how much money you make. I know you can make a lot of money doing stuff in python or electron. Does that mean the market has voted that performance doesn't matter? I don't think so. Jira makes a lot of money but almost everyone hates it. I know a lot of other software that is very slow but still makes tons of money.

> you will not code most things anyway

You say that like it's a good thing! It's a bad thing.

You may say it's because you don't need to. But the flip side is that you can't, even if you wanted to.

You can't program a database or a video encoding or a web server in this language you are using to write your program.

So what is the point of this language?

You can't even use it to cache things in memory. That's why everyone uses redis or something similar.
Impressive, but I don't get why folks don't normalize it to events per second instead.

It is 463k eps for anyone wondering.
Why would you delete emails? I still do not get people's email habits. I used to maintain my inbox back in the days before all the normies came online. Now I just scan, read the things that interest me, and move on. Same for every email...work, school, and personal.
Interesting, thanks for sharing this.

Apparently they are going to use “HIP” to convert CUDA applications to be able to run on AMD:

> The OLCF plans to make HIP available on Summit so that users can begin using it prior to its availability on Frontier. HIP is a C++ runtime API that allows developers to write portable code to run on AMD and NVIDIA GPUs. It is essentially a wrapper that uses the underlying CUDA or ROCm platform that is installed on a system. The API is very similar to CUDA so transitioning existing codes from CUDA to HIP should be fairly straightforward in most cases. In addition, HIP provides porting tools which can be used to help port CUDA codes to the HIP layer, with no loss of performance as compared to the original CUDA application. HIP is not intended to be a drop-in replacement for CUDA, and developers should expect to do some manual coding and performance tuning work to complete the port.

Would this one day lead to a HIP based PyTorch? I hope so!
Completely reckless behavior.

Reminds me of when China did the same thing (and of course endangered everyone). Now that America has human flight capabilities again thanks to SpaceX, I think it's time to sunset space relationships with Russia just like it was done with China.

Maybe collaboration can resume once they make the decision to behave properly again.

Unfortunately, due to a legal agreement I signed to get them to pay for medical benefits for a few additional months and have a small separation payment, I cannot do so. If I did, they could sue me for several times the amount of benefit I gained, and I'm not in a good position for that now.

The closed nature of these companies feeds into this sort of thing, though. A frequent complaint of channel owners is that they aren't told why they've received strikes against their channels. Google also makes it incredibly difficult to submit feedback about their platforms. And any time something questionable or unfavorable arises, they just claim that it's the mysterious will of their overly-complicated algorithms that simply cannot be explained, despite being deliberately engineered by their teams of developers.

On top of that, there have been clear examples of censorship. For example, when Google specifically targeted Christian websites in a blacklist on Google Now [1], or when they were noted for scrubbing autocomplete results that were critical of Hillary Clinton around the 2016 election [2] when it was also revealed that then-Alphabet chairman Eric Schmidt had been a major supporter of Clinton for years [3]. These things seldom get questioned, and even then rarely get answers. It's hardly surprising to see why many people don't trust these companies and jump to conspiracy theories when these things happen.

Hello Friend,

I too am using a throwaway, as my situation is / was similar to yours.

There are part time masters degree programs in CS / Software engineering from reputable schools that you can pursue while employed that do not require an undergraduate degree for admission.

I found that when I enrolled in one, my career prospects increased significantly; I added it immediately to my resume with the note that it was part-time and in progress.
This was likely due to the anti satellite test performed by Russia. There really needs to be international law completely forbidding tests like this. Kessler Syndrome would do much more damage than just keep us from getting to space. Life as we know it today does not exist without satellites.
If the CCP wanted to install backdoors they would do it at the factory rather than at customs.

Also Apple's logistics game has always had these weird efficiencies. I remember ordering an iPod like 15 years ago, and I got a FedEx tracking number where I could see its progress flying overnight out of China. It was pretty wild at the time.
I hope v1.1 API won't get deprecated for a long time. I wrote a couple of cron jobs automating personal tasks awhile ago and I really don't want to touch that codebase anytime soon.
Snowflake accuses other companies of lacking integrity?

I really wish I could block all of Snowflake's domain from my inbox. Sadly, Google encourages spammers to just create a new email address. So I get a few emails each month from Snowflake who ask me to try their products. I've never done business with them and there's no unsubscribe link.

Fuck Snowflake for thinking it has any room to talk about integrity.
The essay I linked has a good response to what you wrote:

> It is true that some people sometimes express the view that no judgments of taste are really better than others. They say, “There is no right and wrong about matters of taste”. Others will express the same thought by saying that beauty is “relative” to individual judgment or preference, or that it is “socially relative”. Such relativism is part of the intellectual air in in certain parts of the humanities. In particular, many intellectuals have expressed dislike of the idea that judgments of taste really have any normative claim, as if that would be uncouth or oppressive. However, if we are describing our thought as it is, not how it ought to be, then there is no getting away from the fact that normativity is a necessary condition of judgments of taste or beauty.

If you actually believed what you wrote, you wouldn't have included a "/shudder" at the end. In fact, you believe that Shakespeare is better than Dan Brown to the point that disagreement makes you uncomfortable. That's a judgement of taste. How you ground that belief (if at all) is a separate question.
I think everybody sells a slightly different product. I see, and other people have also noticed, that similar businesses often cluster together. How could this be explained, except by them adjusting their offerings on a bunch of dimensions so that they sort customers between them and avoid direct competition?
A friend of mine who flies big jets to Asia told me that the past year has been his busiest ever.
You could even go further:

I’m confused - are you suggesting Apple somehow hide the fact that their products are made in China? Where else would the tracking indicate stops?
That's such a....weird? approach. Nationalistic almost.

Chinese companies can make absolutely top quality stuff and my view on this has changed many years ago. I now own a Volvo built in Chengdou, China, and it's literally the most well build vehicle I ever owned, definitely better than any German car I've had(my previous Merc built in Germany creaked like a horse cart, this doesn't even make a peep from anywhere).

I've been thinking about this, as I plan to go back to a "personal website on a domain I own" approach and can Facebook sometime kinda-sorta soon'ish. What software will I use? Dunno. I'm leaning towards something pre-packaged to provide the basic functionality. Probably a blogging engine like Apache Roller.

Beyond basic blogging facilities, if I decide to write anything custom, I would probably use Grails or Spring Boot just based on familiarity. Groovy/Java are my strong suit, so I'd probably default to that. Database would almost certainly be PostgreSQL.

And as somebody else suggested, I could see rolling with an NNTP[1] server. I could also see deploying Gopher[2] as part of my overall presence as well.

Heck, it might even be run to deploy something using WAIS[3][4] just for the lulz of it.

Some of the terse variable names are the result of my adherence to a GMP-like naming convention, which I find easy to read and aesthetically pleasing.

The GMP naming convention is something like:

- Pointer/Data - single letter followed by a "p"

- Size/Length - single letter followed by an "n"

So a function declaration might look like:

static void
process_bytes(uint8_t *zp, const uint8_t *xp, size_t xn);

The above function would do some processing on `xn` bytes at `xp` and store the result in `zp` (assuming there are `xn` bytes also allocated here).

A function which accepts more inputs might have `yp` and `yn` also, so conceptually: `zp = func(xp, xn, yp, yn);` or to simplify: `z = func(x, y)`.
Try Overcast. It’s one of the best pieces of software on my iPhone. Simple, well thought through and reliable. And the speed controls are the best I’ve seen in any program.

It’s the sort of software apple makes when they’re at their best. Much better than the built in podcast app.
Right so it's essentially used as a synonym to "we are expecting".
In terms of carbon emmissions way way worse. Like not even close. A cargo ship consumes about 91 times as much fuel as a plane per trip, while transporting about 6000 times as much cargo, meaning the plane burns about 66 times as much fuel per unit of cargo.

Jet fuel and marine bunker fuel both produce between 3.1 and 3.2 kg of CO2 per kg of fuel; jet fuel is slightly less dense at .74 kg/L vs .86 kg/L for marine bunker, but still planes are producing about 56 times as much CO2 per unit of cargo.

Marine bunker has way higher sulpher content, which is a whole other issue, but as of earlier this year not by as much. Until this year, sulphur for marine fuel was capped at 3.5% by weight, now it's down to 0.5%. Jet fuel, for comparison, is required to be under 0.3% by weight.

It should be noted though that planes release their emissions at higher altitudes, where both CO2 and sulphur do more damage, and ships can carry scrubbers to be cleaner (though many still don't) because they are not nearly as sensitive to weight as a plane. While in absolute terms there are larger sources of pollution, per unit of utility flying is one of the most polluting things humans do.
My next system design will be 8000 Docker+COBOL containers.
A currency that is not usable in China _or_ the West is inherently less valuable. Most of the bitcoin users are speculators, not people enamored by its value as a currency, and if they need to go to Lebanon to withdraw their gains in a fiat currency, then that is a serious negative.
So if I’m a single supplier and I want to act as a hostile actor in order to negotiate better terms or something, does my refusing to sign mean that _all_ supplier transactions are reversed or at least slowed on chain? Is there an actual attack surface here?

Also, if I’m adding a new supplier in this example, do I have to spin up an entirely new “virtual bank” to do so? Or can I just add them to the current one? What is the user experience there?
Interesting, but is this peer reviewed/published? Neither Dominos nor WestRock, the conductor of the study and supplier of boxes to Dominos, say on their website.
KYC is up to the exchange to implement. There's nothing stopping them from keeping additional records that aren't on the Bitcoin blockchain in order to stay compliant.

Of course there's also nothing stopping you from sending your coins somewhere with reduced reporting and spending them from there, but then there never really was in the first place.
I would guess it would take you upwards of 24 hours to get out if you wanted to.
>about building complex personality and interest profiles on users based around their engagement patterns across sites and services

Twitter very clearly thinks I'm a doctor. I am not a doctor. They show me lots of ads that are obviously oriented towards medical professionals–many of them include the language "your patients" as well as medical jargon. My wife is not a doctor, my parents aren't doctors, the only doctors I know are casual friends and family I see at most once a year. I do not have any medical conditions, and nobody I know has any of the conditions treated by the products being advertised.

I've been using Twitter at least a few times a week for several years, I follow and engage with lots of other users, none of whom are doctors as far as I know. If the ads I'm seeing are derived from this complex personality and interest profiling, it has totally misfired. This has been the case for at least two or three years.

Several years ago a conversation about a similar topic prompted me to look at the ad targeting data Facebook had on me. At the time I'd had a Facebook account for 12 years with lots of posts, group memberships and ~500 friends. Their cutting edge data collection and complex ad targeting algorithms had identified my "Hobbies and activities" as: "Mosquito", "Hobby", "Leaf" and "Species": https://imgur.com/nWCWn63. Whatever that means.

I've managed millions of dollars in ad spend on these platforms over time, and still regard most targeted ad platforms as dancing on the edge between legitimacy and being blatantly fraudulent. They work well if you're a sophisticated buyer, but if you're not they're pretty much a hole in the internet into which you can pour money.
All I can say is what a fucking idiot if I was on the jury I would have lost my shit on him. Even if you clear a gun I still pretend a magic bullet fell from the sky and some how chambered itself. Never point a gun a someone unless you are defending yourself or plan to shoot them. That is how hundreds of people had died. I can believe it that is so crazy. Obviously he was trying to provoke an emotional response by pointing a gun at them. This clearly tells me they evidence is not on his side he needs tactics to provoke the jury.
Love this. Sad it’s GPL though.

If I blow up a satellite in orbit, I expect a bunch of debris radiating out from the point of collision. I don't expect a bunch of debris moving on parallel trajectories over a span of 40 km.

Is that a snapshot of how wide it is in time? Is that peak width of a collection of debris that more-or-less follow the same trajectory? Or what?
It all evens out. As the glaciers melt and sea levels rise, that will dilute the acidification from bunker fuel. (sarcasm)
It seems to be the literal definition of the peanut gallery. They keep shouting "object" like they are in the court room.
You would think the kinda profession that puts "I'm not your lawyer" at the top of their blog post would know better than to run the equivalent of a Twitch react stream. If this is the grand future the grandparent had in mind, I want no part of it.
And it was Mobile plans only, since it's illegal to have zero-rating plans on fixed plans.
> a year ago when you formed this opinion

This is a nonsense sentence. It's not even clear what you're even trying to say here, but it's certain that whatever it is you are making even more bad assumptions about things that you don't actually know to be true.

> please show it [...] I was not able to locate any other claims for where the unspent round came from

It's like you ignored the entire message and homed in on the sweet temptation to muse further about the events of the night of the shooting itself, as if this were exactly the sort of trial-by-Reddit thread that I said I would not take part in here.

After the response you just received, do you really expect that the person who wrote it would meet your challenge, which would require an about-face, throwing everything just said out the window, and willingly contributing to derailing the discussion from the topic at hand?

In other words: no, and furthermore, since you're all over this thread trying to turn it into exactly what it shouldn't be: please stop.
I would argue because incompetence is statistically more likely.
Wow, it's exactly like in the "Gravity" film!

We don need no stinkin stacks.

Just write it plain and simple; when you find yourself doing the same thing over and over, use PHP or something similar to automate things. It's not rocket surgery.

stacks of money, on the other hand are always appreciated. :)
Call it a jab. I don’t think we doubted they could we doubted they would. Now we see they are willing and capable.
I'll add that this pushing-out has made the scene lose critical mass.
You don't need a degree to get a job in tech in your 30s with work history on your resume. You also don't need a degree to learn things. There are so many courses from top colleges online for free today, and other learning resources too. All you need is motivation.

In my experience, motivation comes from interesting work. If you need to learn to make progress on a project you care about, you will learn. So what you need is a project that requires you to learn the things you want to learn.
Can you elaborate? I have an iPhone and notifications seem fine. But I’m probably missing something. I haven’t had an android phone in nearly a decade. What do android notifications do differently and better?
Tautologically, yes, they are different. Also, in terms of game theory, yes. The expected outcomes of cooperative games versus competitive games are very different.
This is the Nick Sandmann saga all over again. A couple of years later we will hear of these outlets quietly settling various lawsuits with Rittenhouse. But hey at that point the outrage machine has moved on to something else, they have made their bucks. Small price to pay.

Isn’t this an example of a centralized bottleneck?
I'm not sure bunker fuel is worse for other pollutants. There's going to be much more jet fuel. If jet fuel emits 1% as much sulphur but there's 100x as much burned, then it's a wash.
I mean, I admit you do have to start with known supported hardware. I have no patience for having to install drivers but like I said, for the last decade, it has been easy to find a computer where most everything worked out of the box (Bluetooth maybe the exception but it doesn't seem to work half of the time on any pair of devices/cars regardless or software being open source or not). System76 laptops are great when you want something specifically designed and tested for Linux. Before that, I used to bring a live Ubuntu CD to Bestbuy, pop it in computers to see which one would run everything out of the box. I would say success rate was higher than 50%.
The data was collected from radar signals. But you are correct it is much worst than that, and these are probably just the bigger fragments.

These simulations (just with two objects/satellites) shows how bad it is. Now add 3 or 4 ....

This is a bad convention. Instead of `x` and `z`, you should describe what those pointers are meant to represent. I get that everything is subjective, but some things are actually just bad due to illegibility, and I think it is worth being frank about this.
> if my insurance wasn't tied to my work, I would've quit in a heartbeat.

This is something I just don't get to grok about the US. Here in Mexico we are supposedly "copying" the best of the US (sigh), having the option of paying for "major" health insurance with insurers like NewYork Life, along with other local ones (GNP, AXA). A year of mayor medical insurance costs around $3,000 USD a year. Sure, it is by no means a small amount, but it is definitely doable in case of an emergency.

There´s even something called "excess insurance" that you can buy as a individual while you are working. It covers any spending "on top" of whatever your companies' insurance covers, and serves to "exhaust" any cooling-off periods, so that if you are out of your job at some point, you convert it to full private insurance and get all the benefits.
