I hate seeing websites that have odd restrictions like "you can use !, ?, #, and @, but not % or ^". I can't think of a reasonable reason.
This happens in the prairies from time to time. Last year I got stuck in a Blizzard on my way to Winnipeg. All highways in the southern province shut down for a bit. We got stuck in a gully in the car until a snowplow came and saved us.
Oh, and side note about smartphones; this is why the iPhone was so successful. You didn't need to be a geek familiar with odd Nokia or WinCE stuff to use it.
None of them.
Thanks, our setup is pretty close to that, I got it setup with an XLR interface and I was able to tweak it a bit better still.

Turns out we're moving to a new home, so I anticipate this issue will get solved with walls and doors in the future.

Non-monogamous societies have solved welfare of children in different ways. I am not able to say if any method of taking care of children is better.

On the other hand, monogamy absolutely had a massive impact on STD reduction in a world with absolutely no notion of medicine.
Sometimes we are not ready for specific bits of information. i.e. brains have a "limited bandwidth."

It's possible back in the old days the math teacher did mention it, but we couldn't understand it at the time because we had little sense of the subject.

A common take on this phenomenon is discussed here occasionally:

For a demonstration, go back and watch a good movie that requires focus, say three times in a row. Every viewing should uncover details you didn't notice the first time, because we can't take them all in at once.

It's also why repetition is a good learning technique. Unfortunately few people have the patience to start over from the absolute beginning.

Theoretical breakthrough could boost data storage

If you’re amenable to creating some sort filters, you can add arbitrary variations using +. Not all web forms accept this (you may need to hack with %2A). Not all mail delivery agents support it, either.

But, if me+paypal@domain.foo and me+irs@domain.foo are sending you different volumes of traffic, this could help you filter.
A conversation about the future of healthcare in Utah
In lieu of an in-person event this year, Utah Business partnered with Kiln, Roseman University of Health Science, Intermountain Healthcare, Merit Medical, and Xevant to talk to some of our state’s top healthcare executives about Covid two years in and where we are going in the future. Hosted by Elle Griffin, editor-in-chief of Utah Business, today’s panelists are Jeremy Wells, chancellor at Roseman University; Brandon Newman, co-founder and CEO of Xevant; Katelin Roberts, executive director at BioHive; Lori Weston, CEO of Park City Hospital; and Nicole Priest, chief wellness officer at Merit Medical.
Yes, more words is ideal. The ideal authentication scheme is that the attacker knows absolutely the system you use but it is still secure within realistic time constraints. So using randomly generated words from a sufficiently long list (such as this one https://www.eff.org/files/2016/07/18/eff_large_wordlist.txt ) and as long as the hashing algorithm is sufficiently complex, then you are mathematically protected with a minimum number of words.

For example using a 6 word pass phrase from the above 10000 word list would on average require 5e23 attempts to correctly guess it. For credential stuffing this is absolutely impractical. For cracking a leaked password hash we can figure out how secure it is.

We assume that the service properly salts the passwords, so a rainbow table can't be used. If salted bcrypt hashes are used, a benchmarked 4-gpu rig did ~160 hashes/s, so even assuming a nation-state with 1E9 times as much computing power, we get 1.6e11 hashes/s, so this gives us on average 3.1e12 seconds to crack, which is about 100,000 years. Which means that no-one (pre-quantum) can crack that password.
The important part is that the NIST password advice is meant to be read as a whole. Often I see people quote snippets out of the advice, but unless you read and understand the whole document, you run the risk of reducing your security posture.
Oh I'm most definitely complaining about how it gets me there. Having to take three stops on such a short trip, adding extra time to the trip is definitely something I wouldn't enjoy, no matter how great EV life is in the city. And since I make this trip 3-6 times per year, the frustration I would experience in this scenario makes it a non-starter.

But where I live, it would be difficult. Yes, there is a "CO2 tax" here. Twenty years ago I converted my wood-burning fireplace to natural gas. That was being, in my opinion, environmentally friendly (I prefer burning wood -- more pleasant). If the cost of NG goes too high I can revert to wood. Electricity is out, because the local power company prices it at around 7 times higher than natural gas. $800 per month to heat my house. $125 for natural gas. Wood? 3 to 6 cords should do... At 1 cord per acre, I would need 3 to 6 acres. I could buy 40 acres, put up a house, and produce my own biofuel as well. No "price on carbon emissions". If you can convince me that CO2 is an existential threat, that is one thing. I can move to Memphis where I don't need to heat my home. You cannot deny me the right to do that, if you think that CO2 is that threat. Otherwise, you can tax me until I refuse to participate.

They still could, but getting money to content creators hasn't been a strong suit of the Internet up until now and part of the point of all this decentralization is tha it makes it easier for money to move around, finally allowing for micropayments, an early Internet idea that's never managed to come to fruition due to user friction. Whether they take off this time we'll have to see.

Is it accurate to say the primary use of this is likely to design further quantum computers?
In the months after such an announcement you can expect articles with various attempts at an application to pop up on arxiv. I am saying "attempts at an application", not because the papers are not impressive, rather because the devices are still too small and noisy to excite anyone but researchers in the field. As a researcher in the field I am certainly very excited, because the figure of merit I care about have been drastically improved and this reinforced my belief that we will have a device solving classically-infeasible chemistry simulations soon (anything between 5 and 15 year ;)
not in eastern europe it didn't :) feudalism was ongoing when the february revolution occurred.
I mean, that was practically already the case with the Google Sycamore processor. IBM claimed that they could simulate the 53-qubit circuit in something like 24 hours on a supercomputer (with a bunch of bespoke optimizations), but a 54-qubit version would have been completely classically intractable. We didn’t need to get to 100+ qubits, and those came out before now.
I'll check out that resource and re-read your post a few times. Thank you very much for replying.
There are plenty of examples of economic revolution that were totally bloodless. For example, over a period of 10 years in the early 1900s, Sweden transformed itself from one of the most explicitly censitarian regimes that history has known (people who owned more property literally had their vote counted more times) into one of the most social-democratic regimes in Europe.
As software engineers, we really need to consider not just if we can do a project, but also if we _should_.

Aw, they never did the outdoor one.

It's much worse than that.

WeWork doesn't own most of their locations. As leases expire, their landlords can jack up rent until WeWork loses the leasehold improvements.

This is the same fatal flaw that most US restaurants face, and why even successful ones move after 5 years.

FYI: A few programmers have asked me, "What's wrong with WeWork? It's a great idea - nice offices!" Those people are ignoring the business model, which is horrific, as the article mentions.

Also, temp spaces charge extra by the hour for meeting rooms. Even though tenants know this in advance, they get bitchy when they receive the itemized bill, and dump on fellow staff and even outside attendees - "You know, we had to pay $100 for that meeting room, and we didn't sign a deal. Did we really need to book a meeting room?", etc.
It's more about passing the bucket to the next person. These VC startups are betting the fact that once reality hits, they will be long gone.

> The mainstream economic theory genuinely believed that handing out central bank securities would work just as well as, say. adjusting a UBI or normal fiscal policy.

No, it didn’t.

Mainstream economic theory (or even the major heterodox theories) has never held that monetary policy is a sufficient substitute for fiscal policy in general, and mainstream economists in the US (of all stripes, though they differ on what fiscal policy should be) are always complaining about Congress not taking what they see to be appropriate fiscal action and leaving the economy to the Fed and monetary policy.
I didn't miss that, I just chose not to address it for brevity.

The problem that highlights is both a process and an experience problem. It indicates that he did not have a clear picture of the development road-map for the project, which suggests there are silos of information. There were a lot of hints about this actually. The lack of code reviews (that's where the original dev's opportunity for quality improvement should have been caught and addressed), the fact that a manager would chastise him for trying to improve code quality and the fact that he made poor design choices when trying to improve said quality really does point to a dysfunctional process.

Pointing the finger at code quality here is failing to understand the difference between the trees and the forest.

Eh, yes, VRML was a standard, but it was a standard that enabled you to make very static little objects that could be rendered in an external viewer, not exactly 'The Metaverse'. WebGL is probably VRML's logical successor. (And is a standard, too.) But a Web page isn't necessarily how you want your metaverse delivered.

As to whether FB is gonna make something that a) is interesting, and b) isn't MAXIMALLY INVASIVE of privacy... Well, the answer there is NOT the fault of any future metaverse. ;)

The car examples don't make sense.

It is software, in Chrome case is just a simple popup, the code is there and it only is visible for OSX because the platform forced the vision guy's hand. The bullshit excuses that is hard to code and test and maintain do not work here.

Also excuses do not work even if valid if you destroy your users workflow, you don't remove system tray, server side decorations and just tell your users to find replacement applications because the ones they use do not conform to the GNOME vision.

Again, if is not a toy you target some users, is your duty to listen to this users and not to impose your vision on them, I am upset when there is no actual testing/research involving actual users and real world work, say when you test your app with "hello world" simple workflows that fail in real world with real users, or you make your app look cool on your expensive screen but looks like shit on real users hardware.

But you are right, GNOME has decided they don't want a part of the users and they are cultivating the perfect GNOME type user, a user that adapts to the software and not the reverse.
In a way, yes. I usually call such devices "technology demonstrators". But I am certain there would be researchers offended by such a trivialization of their work.
> All the "classical" ECC just uses additional data lines

I know that. But DDR5, at least under normal use, increases the number of bits sent across each data line in a single memory access. So now you have 16 spare bits across the entire thing, instead of just 8. This means that even if you had 32->40 ECC before, the value you could extract from the extra bits goes up a lot with DDR5.

The shortage is the other way. The rest of BC gets most of its produce from the lower mainland. I live in Kelowna (funny to see a local news site on here), and our stores have basically no produce because we can’t get anything from the lower mainland. Fun times.
Yeah, my bank does that too. Asks for my birthday for "security" reasons. They also kill their website's usability by forbidding physical keyboards and forcing users to use a virtual keyboard with randomized key layouts in order to type passwords in a feeble attempt to defeat keyloggers. Some banks even make it extra annoying by generating ambiguous keys like "1 or 7" or "2 or 3".

The saddest thing is banks can't be too secure. If they were, then they would be too hard for normal people to use and they would get locked out of their funds.
Brave was most likely blocked to prevent people from using TOR to bypass their office firewall filters (e.g. on NSFW sites, etc).

Soil biology does some weird thing to soils in the boundaries.

Fungally dominated soils have a greatly increased mineral and water availability due to the meddling of the fungi in soil chemistry. But if you dry out fungi enough, they become hydrophobic, like sphagnum does, and this can increase the likelihood of flash flooding. In a forest environment, the fungi increase canopy, and the canopy mechanically slows the water. Except in deciduous forests in the winter, there is no canopy, only mostly-bare branches. Although typically BC and northern Washington seem to be overpopulated with conifers so that may not apply in this case.
This. The 20% haircut to the value of the companies' equity is a paper difference to their wealthy majority shareholders. But the 10% of staff they lay off have no income at all, and the remaining staff don't exactly feel better off because their bosses are poorer either.

Interesting. Were you not aware that Brave has always been the "crypto" browser?

Having tight crypto integration has been one of the core features used to distinguish themselves. So this is not really new nor surprising to me.
I think a common mistake is to conflate “consciousness” with “intelligence” or at least “thought”.

Just because we don’t tend to recognize one without the other doesn’t mean they necessarily have a causative relationship.
>Disabling the wallet doesn't satisfy your needs there?

if it was the only thing maybe. But all crypto related settings are also the only thing the browser does not sync. every time you use it on a new machine, you have all those crypto card spam on the new tab section. You attempt to use the video conference feature, suggestion to turn on Brave Rewards. I am 100% certain that is deliberate and I'm extremely allergic to these dark patterns.
Don't confuse Robert Martin's book "Clean Code" with the broader concept of clean code.

"A codebase where everything is easy to change becomes complex in aggregate"

What you're describing there is a code smell that is commonly referred to as "Speculative generality" and was written about in a book by Martin Fowler called "Refactoring, improving the design of existing code." Which, incidentally is a great companion book to Robert Martin's Clean Code.

Speaking of trendy medium articles, here is one that I wrote on the concept of clean code that might help better understand what I mean when I use the term:

https://medium.com/@gspencley/what-does-clean-code-mean-anyw...
I assure you, the total cost will be more than $18, unless your time is free.
Yeah the R&D that goes into this is mainly part of the longer term effort to make increasingly large quantum computers.

In case you meant it the other way: the number of qubits here is still far too small for any real world application, including for simulations that would help design larger chips.
I think Aurora Serverless may be the one exception to that.

To up the voltage
It's not just CO2 and methane.

If all the HVAC equipment in use were vented, it would be like 200 ppm of CO2. Meaning, even if you got CO2 all the way to zero, you would not get to the pre-industrial level of heat forcing; and good luck ever scrubbing it out. Thus far, fluorine compounds already in the atmosphere amount to 40 ppm CO2 equivalent. So it is critical to capture and incinerate the HFCs already in use. A substitute for them is supposed to roll out in a few years.

Just one kilogram of SF6, used in high-voltage electrical equipment (including wind turbines) is equivalent to 25 tons of of CO2. HFCs are about a tenth that, but there is a lot of it. Most of the CFCs already vented, up to the time they were mostly banned, are still there. Some places still vent them.

Right now the biggest fluorine-compound polluters in the US are three companies involved in supporting chip manufacturing. They probably have counterparts in Taiwan, Korea, and China.

There is new substitute for SF6, and an ongoing effort to pump out and dispose of it, in US equipment.
David Drake wrote a sort of prequel to "Lest Darkness Fall" called "To Bring the Light", with an imperial Roman woman transported back to the founding of Rome. Drake's personal experiences increase the realism of his writing, IMO.

He also wrote "Ranks of Bronze" which is sort of the reverse idea, a Roman Legion kidnapped by aliens for preindustrial warfare. Absolutely worth a read, and an interesting counterpoint to most of the 'bringing civilization to the barbarians' narrative these stories normally follow.

H. Beam Piper did a bunch too, check out "Lord Kalvan of Otherwhen" if you can find it.

The problem with clean code and avoiding duplication is that you will eventually create a God class where everything inherits from. By then you will realize a lot of bugs stem from having a one size fits all God class.
