I’ve also repeatedly been asked to sign one of those electronic signature pads as the signature to a document that I am not actually seeing. Which is a ridiculous thing to even consider as a workflow. When that happens I just sign the words “not shown document” instead of my name and move on.
So a Poisson distribution is for count data, not continuous like time. A gamma distribution is a continuous distribution that have the shape you want. But, this approach should involve getting data and plotting it to see empirically what sort of distribution it might have.

I’m also unclear how the dependency you mention is going to come in. That said I agree with you in general that some statistical reasoning should be brought to this problem. Maybe just showing people the way variances are additive and the impact that has on the overall variance of a project made of many small projects. You could pick a plausible gamma distribution for individual task duration and play around with seeing what the sum of a number of IID gammas looks like —- the sum is a gamma distribution also; see wikipedia but the formula.

> In the past, medicine was practiced without adhering to the scientific method. This is luckily no longer the case.

Cool story bro, but I disagree. If we were following the scientific method how to explain why 70% of studies cannot be reproduced?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Replication_crisis#Political_r...

"A similar survey by Nature on 1,576 researchers who took a brief online questionnaire on reproducibility showed that more than 70% of researchers have tried and failed to reproduce another scientist's experiments, and more than half have failed to reproduce their own experiments."

Not to mention that basically all studies are paid for by one of only 3 (connected) sources - military, government or corporations.

If you control the purse strings, you decide what to (or not to) study.

Which explains all sorts of basic 'anomalies' - such as that we don't know what the best sort of diet is for us.

This is the point when the GDPR kicks in, and Facebook would be expected to know that the combination of the data they obtain from A, B, and C is enough to identify someone (even if Facebook never actually combined the data to produce those identities). The fact that Facebook are paying money for the data (in this hypothetical scenario) means they should know the value of the data and what can be done with it.

This is not related to the discussion, even if I did agree with it.

Twitter and "forums" are all completely accessible via a browser, which is literally what the original claim suggests we've "lost". You don't need to read twitter with a special twitter client, you read it with the any HATEOAS client.

With all of the previous reporting on Austria's "lockdown of the unvaccinated", it was usually quietly left out that it was a lockdown of the unvaccinated AND never infected. (https://www.austria.info/en/service-and-facts/coronavirus-in...). Does anyone know if that's the case here as well?

This is still scary, but what's more scary to me is other western countries who willfully ignore immunity from recovery taking this as inspiration.

Four Times a Startup Raises Money When It Shouldn't
There's a lot of marketing involved in this naming, with Samsung calling it DepthVision and Apple calling it LIDAR. There may be a difference here, however. My understanding is that Apple LIDAR is doing what we call "direct" ToF, where the round trip travel time of laser pulses is actually measured (this can be in nanoseconds). This lines up with what self driving car (and other expensive) LIDARs do.

Most other ToF sensors use "indirect" ToF, where they measure the phase difference between incoming and outgoing signals to derive distance.

However, it gets murky as cheap 2D LIDARs on say, robot vacuum cleaners, use geometric techniques to find distance (basically return angle of a reflection). I explored this in a previous work.

TLDR: I would recommend not taking any naming at face value and reading the actual datasheet or more commonly, technical marketing materials, since few ToF manufacturers that I see have a public datasheet.
The code, as written, will execute the computation 4 times when passed a loop_size of 0, making it less efficient than the naive code, but also wrong for that case.
I agree, if 70% of straicases wind one way there's got to be a reason, it's unlikely to be random chance. If the author is not willing to explain why he thinks that it's a bad justification, and at the same time can't come up with a better explanation, what's the point?

The fact that fights rarely occurred in practice in these staircases is moot: if we assume that the choice of orientation is mostly arbitrary and clockwise stairs offer a theoretical advantage in an unlikely scenario, why not go for it? You don't lose anything by building it that way.
You're not lazy.

I've been in your situation (I'm 33, but working since I was 15, the last 3 years looked eerily similar to what you've described). I'm significantly better now.

Therapy, changing my lifestyle and focusing less on work helped. I wish I had done this years ago. I'm still struggling with this sometimes, but I also realised that I feel better than I could even think it was possible.

Another thing that really helped me was finding a job I didn't care much about, spending more time doing nothing.

If you're like me, you probably feel like you're already doing nothing, but at the same time feel compelled to fix that by trying to do more and blaming yourself for not caring/not being good enough/being on the verge of becoming unemployed/<insert your brain's favourite way of self-criticism here>.

Doing nothing is good. Then, with time, simple ideas might pop in to your head once in a while, but you won't feel pressured to implement them, you will just make something for fun. In my case it's building small toys (like https://sonnet.io/posts/reactive-hole/) or doodling, anything not too serious really.

You're not lazy. It's literally the opposite-your body is telling you how tired you are.

I'm not a therapist, but if you want to chat or just rant* I have coffee/office hours set up to meet people, exchange experiences, learn from them, or just talk about random stuff--it doesn't really matter.

In the end, it's not about an OPEN SOURCE tool being perfect but whether it is helping you solving a problem. If it did not help you and YOU don't consider it production ready, then that's fine. But you seem to argue that Dask should put this disclaimer out there. That would imply that many other open source tools including Spark would have to do it.

Dask has solved specific problems for us and we are grateful about it. I remain open minded about other choices and listed them with the understanding I have about them.

Vue was working pretty well for me until I decided to rewrite the whole project in Typescript. I hit a problem with Webpack that devoured all of my memory during a build, and despite spending days on it, I couldn't figure out why it was happening. The Vue CLI was also having similar problems, if I remember right, so I tried to replace the Vue CLI with home grown scripts. That didn't work either.

So, I looked at other options, and discovered Svelte. I originally converted from Vue to Svelte out of necessity, but I've grown to adore how it's structured and how "Javascripty" it feels.

Most of the problems in creating services by wrapping libraries in RPCs, in my experience, come from most libraries not supporting asynchrony, timeouts etc.

The zlib example is a bit baffling to be honest. If zlib goes in to an infinite 100% CPU loop, perhaps due to a zip bomb, you're still screwed as far as I can tell

A full RPC abstraction also gives you the opportunity to change out the backend implementation that this doesn't.

Would we? I ask genuinely, not rhetorically. Literacy was a lot lower back then, and even what was written has often been lost in time.

I mean I can offer the same argument in reverse: if 70% of these staircases wound clockwise, they clearly favoured this orientation. How come we don't have contemporary documentation of the reason?

Agreed. I expect however that any easily available thermal sensing, especially on smartphones (see FLIR, etc), could be easily defeated with a strong adversary doing good thermal management.

As you say though, extra heat is a physical guarantee, so maybe a smarter technique exists to separate signal from noise in the thermal domain that I don't know of yet.

tldr: you can enjoy ZKPs without blockchain

---

Adding to OP's comment a bit of context:

As someone deep into ZKPs related to blockchain I should note that ZKPs have nothing to do with blockchain in their origin; the cryptography behind them was developed in the 80s (even protocols like zkSNARKs). Many applications are also not specific to blockchain and a lot of work on their mathematics does not relate directly to blockchain either

That said, a decent chunk is now directly for applications in that field. For instance, key decisions around the cryptography used by Circom (a zkSNARK language) are predicated on the idea they will be used in EVM smart contracts. Same is true of snarkjs that exports Solidity verifiers.
I think it's because people who buy a Tesla are fans of Tesla, so the well known reliability issues aren't a problem to them.

Not an architect, but having more than a little experience in house (and staircases) design.

There are some geometrical limits that will make the stair start and land on the same or opposite side, both "top" vs. "bottom" and "left" vs. "right".

Usually (but not always) you want the stair to start and land on the same (bottom vs. top) side and this - generally speaking - implies having a 180° turning of the stair, which itself implies that if you start left, you land right or - viceversa - if you start right you land left.

How much is the height you have to cover?

How large is the staircase diameter?

A typical height of around 3 meters will give you, with steps between 15 (very "plain") and 25 cm (rather steep) anything between 4 and 5 (max 6) steps per meter of height.

If you have a 2 m diameter staircase and a central hub of - say - 40 cm diameter, each step will be 80 cm wide.

On the outer side it will be anything between 25 and 35 cm.

So, let's test what happens with 15 cm high steps and outer side 30 cm.

The perimeter of the staircase is Pix2.00=6.28, with 30 cm on the outside it will give you around 6.28/0.30=~21 steps for a 360° rotation, and 21x15=3.15 height, but you want actually 180° or 540° as you would want to have the stair land on the same side (top vs. bottom), for 180° you have only 10/11 steps, and you cannot make 27/30 cm high steps.

So you either enlarge the staircase (to increment its perimeter) or reduce the max size of the step (but remember that when you decrease the size of the step on the outer size, the size near the hub will also become smaller).

Let's try again with the same 2 m diameter staircase and 25 cm outer step, 180° 3.14/0.25=12,56->13 steps 3.00/13=0.23 cm, steep but doable.

In a "lower left corner" (what you can imagine as a letter "L") it makes sense (to minimize area needed) to have the first step, at the lower level, on the left (but you will land on the right).

In practice you have to decide whether you want around 1 meter space between the outer (left) wall and the step on either the lower or the higher level, it depends, but you want the extra 1 m space at the level where you can possibly put some piece of furniture (a closet, a library, whatever).

There is no particular ergonomical reason (AFAIK) why one would prefere a clockwise or anticlockwise staircase, as you noted if one might feel more comfortable going up, it will feel less so going down or viceversa.

I feel like right-handed people would prefer anti-clockwise stairs though, because if you're carrying something heavy it's usually harder to climb up than down, and in my experience is more comfortable to carry a bulky object on the outside of the spiral case than on the inside.

And as far as I know right-handed people have always been more common than lefties, so having more clockwise than anti-clockwise staircases is counterintuitive to me.

Credit card for trial is a dark pattern from the end user's perspective for sure.

Cos, that is one more place where the end user have to risk his/her/their PII. This is especially important considering the end user is trying the product out. The person has no idea whether they will invest in it or not. Yet, the person have to worry about their information leaked when he/she/they see this company on the news for a data breach.

Also, another problem is the overhead for the company on managing this data. The security, PR situation if this gets leaked. It's expensive and unnecessary. This is a risky business unless you are a data hoarder who sells them at which point that is again bad for the end user.
