Yeah, in theory it's possible there was some AI text generation used at some point, but it's clearly writers aping a style, a lot of the funny 'errors' are not something a text-prediction AI is likely to make (especially with how punny most of them are).

You say that like "Legitimate Business" and "scam" are really all that different in our society. For some reason we tolerate a significant amount of bullshit designed to sneakily or forcefully separate us from our money when it's some corporation doing it instead of some Nigerian or whatever.
The majority of a neuron's transmembrane capacitance is attributed to the lipid membrane itself, so a lower density of ion channels should not appreciably alter capacitance.

Action potential rates and the ability to phase-lock to inputs are significantly affected by the membrane time constant. Generally, membranes with lower conductances at rest and during spiking will have higher (slower) membrane time constants. This isn't a straightforward explanation for the ability of human some neurons to phase lock to higher frequencies.

Impedance data across species relevant to this idea is in Extended Data Figure 2 and 5 of the paper.

I do think there is, maybe a purposeful almost?, disregard for environmental conditions. The epidemiologist in question, Dr. Tegnell (interesting that the article made a distinct effort not to use any of his credentials or titles), did say that if you try to compare things in context that the results are very inconsistent: "Covid doesn’t care about history or language, it cares about socio-economic status or migrant backgrounds or crowded housing. That’s where Sweden stands out in a Nordic context, but not so much in a EU context,”" Per capita comparisons are almost meaningless as factors such as population density, public transit, climate, socio-economics, and others have significant impact.

I just have a hard time supposing what "intelligence" means since human intelligence might be much different than bird intelligence. Not higher or lower, but different for different needs.

sure, your point supports mine. DOOM (tm) is different than Doom scrolling.

Again, if the band Doom Scroll's logo was styled similarly enough to the DOOM(tm) word mark, then there could be a case of trademark infringement because the point of a trademark is to protect the consumer so that you know that the brand you are buying from is actually the people you expect. It often doesn't feel that way because companies get overzealous and those cases are the ones we read about. Like the above.

The proper word is pseudonymous.

So no, the two words are not interchangable.

> But relational databases are an architectural anti-pattern.

This is such an inflammatory and ignorant statement that I don't really have any other answer other than to call it pure bullshit. Relational Databases are probably one of the few popular areas of our profession that are not only backed by formalisms and research that tell us to do it correctly, it is also proven to work in practice: it is the de facto backbone of most financial, commercial, government systems and, heck, even military, but also even of modern FAANG-style big tech.

Sure, they're boring. And it takes time to learn. And normalisation might has its costs but we can know them all upfront, and we know where and how to break them. The (currently trendy) horizontal scalability is indeed non-trivial with them, but vertical and horizontal-via-sharding are easier than most ad-hoc solutions. But the boredom pays off in guarantees, and to learn you have 50 years of mature material to rely on.

(This is not to say that non-relational databases are useless. Both have its uses, but they're both only really useful if you properly understand them)

Complex enterprise systems are complex for reasons beyond the technology. Often due to processes and bureaucracies. Those complexities often end up turning into "essential complexity" in systems, and Domain Driven Design is not able to reduce such essential complexity, and nothing can.

Nor is Domain Driven Design incompatible with relational databases, especially the tactical part, which is often the major selling point of DDD. It is entirely possible to model domains within databases, and is entirely common.

Also, DDD is not a guarantee of success. If anything, it has not proven itself nowhere near as much relational databases have. As much as the original idea of DDD is good (again, especially the tactical part), it I see it often become rationalisation for the same old architecture astronautics that cause excessive incidental complexity. For people wanting architectural complexity, I can completely understand the distaste for something simple like "keeping it in the DB". It completely negates all the fancy technical patterns prized by developers. This is not to discount the original idea and techniques of DDD: merely saying that the excuse "relational databases can be bad if not well done" applies as often, if not more, to the practice of DDD.
I mean it’s not their trademark to enforce. Is just having “Doom” in part of your name enough to confuse people with the game? I think not, especially because this isn’t even a video game.
The issue is that trademarking a single word like "doom" creates problems for the millions of possible uses for that word.

Trademarks should not be basic units of common language. They shouldn't ever be single words (doom, apple, meta, square, etc), because single words are basic language building blocks. There ought to be a requirement that trademarks are reasonably unique to the company (Doom Inc. Apple Inc, etc). The onus should be on the trademarker to avoid entanglement with typical language use. It's unacceptable for a videogame franchise to encumber the word doom like this.

I believe the comment you're replying to is including "common collactions" for the same reason. It shouldn't be possible to trademark groups of words in common use with established meaning.
Just do it. I'm lovin' it. Think different. Eat fresh. It's finger lickin' good.

> Routers and switches tend to be store-and-forward; they receive the entire packet, an interrupt is generated by the NIC, a routing decisions is made, the packet is shoved into the buffer of the outgoing NIC, etc. That doesn't even cover firewalling. 3ms delay through multiple circa-2002 routers, firewalls, and switches is not believable.

this acutally hasn been true for high level routers since the late 90's.

On an Juniper M and MX series device for instance, a packet is broken up into a "parcel" (the first 256 bytes of an IP packet) and is saved in shared memory. Further packet processing is done by dividing up parcel lookups to the routing table across different linecard processors. (depending on the linecard, this can differ wildly).

This setup has been in place since the late 90's, although not on "lower end" hardware.
As far as i am aware, cisco has a similair mechanism in their higher end products for atleast a decade or two.

> I want a book that can go into the details of each specific DS or Algorirhm.

I'm not aware of any book like that. At the uni, the process is repetitive and incremental.

First you learn how to implement the algo, then you learn how to count (discrete math) and, finally, you learn how to analyze its complexity. Concurrently, you might see some more details on how those data structure are used in Operating System and learn how to implement them in some lecture about parallel computing.

MIT has a great resource online. They have recorded lecture, exercises, lecture notes with reading suggestion, etc.

Their intro to algo.

>Old iron is better built, less "electronic", and far easier to understand the designs and fabricate parts yourself. As well as cheaper to purchase.

I thought that big farms take advantage of newer tech on tractors using GPS RTK for sub-inch accuracy and increased productivity? Therefore, depending on the workload, the decades-old "cheaper" tractor can turn out to be more costly because the farm's yield isn't keeping up with competitors. It seems like a tradeoff between old & new.

I'd guess that if your org is big enough to have 250 engineers in its payroll, AWS services are a waste of cash given you can deploy better and cheaper. For example, Hetzner has less than 200 employees, and it's a global cloud provider.

We are, for now, dependant on fossil fuels (including from nefarious regimes).

I like fish, practically all except coalfish/pollock/seelachs (which does have a nice advantage: cheap and widely available). Fish is supposedly a good sourcevon omega 3 fatty acids, vitamin D, and vitamin B13. Which are all 3 difficult to come by if you largely follow a vegan diet otherwise. Yes I have the choice of eating things like cowmilk, chicken eggs, and cheese, but I generally don't like them. For example, I only molten cheese and non-boiled eggs. So I end up regularly eating some Captain Iglo/Birdseye fish sticks which are cheap and mask the taste and structure of coalfish/pollock/seelachs.

One time in a German restaurant we got excited. Seelachs, that's salmon, right? Wrong, salmon is lachs, seelachs is coalfish/pollock. Such disappointment while I see people getting served, price was too good to be true (it was a large group deal though). I ended up eating one bite. See, not many brands cover up the taste well. In this case, no seasoning whatsoever was used.

The problem is, back 100 days ago, imported foods were a luxury. You'd eat local unless you were rich (most people were not). But we don't do that because those who pollute get away with it; they don't pay a fair share to destimulate the behaviour enough, and the bioindustry is very efficient and caused an availability of meat for the pleb folk. If we go on in this pace, major cities like Amsterdam are unlikely to exist in 2100. But voters don't seem to care, so the future of my children is likely not near the city they were born, they can vusit it by boat or drone or Maps by then, reading on Wikipedia what once and how adults failed. All because we were too greedy and unwilling to solve it on a macro level.
I’ll frequently do this when I start large refactors or implementations. I’ll build a big ugly branch that kind of works, then, when I have a better idea of where I’m headed, start from master again, building a chain of sometimes a dozen or more PRs, mostly from scratch, that build to the same point as that big ugly branch. Along the way, the code and architecture tend to improve dramatically.

I mean, this won’t work in court since being forced to use WebKit isn’t unique - it’s just a technical requirement to developing on iOS. Just as you’re forced to use specific Apple APIs to access sensor data or draw stuff to the screen, you’re forced to use a specific APIs to run JavaScript code.
I did not say that at all and I'm disappointed you would jump straight into a straw man argument. The parent comment and mine are about unfair advantage, not about IP theft. If you take your years of industry insider experience and start a company that directly competes with your previous employer, under the patronage of an entity that other people don't have access to, you have an unfair advantage in comparison to your would-be startup competitors. And that's the whole point of this particular comment thread - many successful companies had some kind of unfair advantage they were able to leverage to gain market position.

Also, as a side note, knowing how to build basic software tools is not even remotely comparable to having the extremely specialized knowledge required to build a microchip fab.
