Where do you place the teams in charge of the steaming pile of manure that is Teams, SharePoint, Dynamics 365, Office 365 et al? Seemingly these turds have also dropped from the cloud faction. My experience seems to be that excluding dev tooling, all attempts by MS to bring productivity tools to this brave new Internet thing have failed dismally.

Office 365 vs Google Suite is not even funny, if you have to use O365, that is. Dynamics 365 looks fancy at first, but make a few clicks towards settings and you can witness 5 different UX languages, one half-assed modernisation attempt laid on top of another. Plus the churn from ongoing attempts, pointless rebrands and nonsense invented by bizdev guys. Add the famous MS back compat policy and you have a special kind of hell.

I think most would agree that the obvious changes impacting housing are:

1. Low interest rates with loose monetary policy

2. Demand increases due to covid (people want bigger, better homes if they're stuck there)

3. Lowered supply (people not moving during pandemic; new build and renovation halts)

Education is rampantly increasing because the government has decided to remove all risk, essentially removing default risk from lenders so they'll loan to anyone with a pulse, regardless of expected roi.

Healthcare is facing the same governmently supported interference.

Edit: with regards to housing, the federal government just proved that they are willing to commender private property without just compensation which has just heavily skewed rental risk for landlords so they will now be demanding higher premiums for the same product due to unquantifiable shifts in assumed risk.
Sorta off topic but I read a “not that we’ll know old novel” recently and was surprised to find out that PDP read it as party of his book club (which I didn’t know existed). It changed my view of him a bit that he reads serious books and talks about them, whereas I thought he only fucked around to entertain children.
Doubling over 10-12 years is an average annual inflation rate of about 7% . It's not 2%, but it isn't 15% either.
Looks like the apt developers were sensible enough to fix this problem rather than blaming the user for not reading a wall of text.

It can generate python extensions, but doesn't have to, here is a blog post talking about using it to generate self contained c++ code by the author:
https://serge-sans-paille.github.io/pythran-stories/pythran-...

BTW very cool project nevertheless, just wanted to see the differences parallels to pythran. There might even by room for collaboration on some features.
First, I think there's a fundamental difference between a vandal destroying something they don't own, and the owner intentionally choosing to destroy it as an act of sacrifice.

Having said that, there actually is some power in the self sacrifice of engaging in a destructive act giving a person's message more power and attention (see Unabomber Manifesto as a prime example).

Second, at least a subculture of people already do accept destruction of real world things as an act that imbues the a digital entity with the real world scarcity. It's called proof of work, and bitcoin is constantly 'sacrificing' real world energy which imbues the token with value in many people's minds. Enough so make it a trillion dollar asset class.
As someone who has only barely dabbled in either, they feel very similar in philosophy, but I understand that's superficial to some degree.

All of the current high-end cameras are pretty similar here and do around 30 fps stills shooting at full resolution or alternatively 8K (33 MP) video. Just 8K video alone is pretty much the same, as far as resolution is concerned, as yesteryears dedicated high-res bodies.

At the levels below that you'll have to settle for full-res stills at somewhere between 14 and 20 fps or 4K30p/4K60p, for now.
I think central governments are hooked on QE in various forms. The risk of allowing economy to settle back to its unaided trajectory is too great. At least with QE there is a demonstrable positive effect on prices of other asset classes, namely equities. Savers should be incentivised to invest in stock market rather than holding cash.

I can’t stand articles that start with “we need to talk about…”. What the author is really saying is “This topic is important to me, and I’d like to pressure you into having the same views on it as I do”. Regardless of the merit of those views, the only thing that ever comes after “we need to talk about…” is a description of some hardship the author (or somebody the author knows) faced, an explanation of how that shaped the agenda they’re trying to promote, and some appeal to emotion suggesting that their views are the only valid views a person can hold.
I had an IC who was interested in moving to a team lead role and had mentioned that during their interview process. We agreed to give them 6 months and then revisit the conversation -- when we spoke about it again, the IC said that they had changed their mind, because there were people smarter than them on the team. My advice is that you don't need to be the smartest engineer to be a lead or manager, but you should be able to identify them, and help them grow.

I've only been following this case casually, so I might be wrong, but didn't the prosecution spend a ton of time arguing about image resizing algorithms / digital zoom and how that makes some of the video evidence questionable? You would think they'd be savvy to this compression as a result, no?

Alum crystals in a disposable pie pan on a hot water radiator turned out brilliantly in my youth.

Fast-forward many years, and my daughter wasn't having much luck with salt, sugar, or even copper sulfate (that one looked like a melted smurf).

I remembered my alum crystals, which she tried, and lo and behold...nothing! Desperate (on the night before the assignment was due), I remembered someone mentioning that you can make crystals with mothball flakes. We picked a bag of flakes up and heated them up in a dish, and were able to make long, beautiful crystals on the bottom of a cold glass over the heated solution.

The only problem was that as soon as we moved the glass away from the solution, the crystals evaporated, so she took a picture of the crystals as they were forming and received full marks. A happy ending, but the house smelled of mothballs for a few days!

I'm curious why you think this is true. The aggregate economic output of the US economy is no the inflation rate in any meaningful sense, or else 'economic growth' could be achieved simply by inflating your currency.
from his blog:

>No, the crypto bit absolutely doesn’t do anything useful

None of this would have happened without 'the crypto bit'.

People are just annoyed that crypto is happening and theyve been betting against it. they were so focused on the 'currency' aspect they missed that groups of people can coordinate, they missed that a reddit group can become a political force, they missed that people are buying land together, the missed that coordination is the killer app.

HN and the cynics have been telling us for years that none of this would work, and when we get examples of it working we hear "you could do this without x".
yes, in theory you could have a mysql database and a company registered in deleware, and stripe processing payments, and also companies in other countries to handle international payments, and blah blah.....

this is faster, easier, and more fun.
On second read-thru, I think the author is maybe(?) describing assumptions behind WAND and relevance algos that benefit from it? Maybe not some overarching statement about relevance per-se? But it's mixed in with statements about relevance / what Lucene does that are mostly incorrect...

For example, he says

> However, as you can see, this vector space model does not explicitly require a higher ranking document to contain more query terms than a lower ranking one.

Well the way you get a higher similarity in a vector-space model is matching more terms. The caveat being that IDF and field length makes you also consider a term's specificity. So if you search for 'luke skywalker' you care more about the 'skywalker' match than the 'luke' match. But a match on BOTH 'luke skywalker' would score higher (field lengths being constant)
Except that it's not destroyed.

It's ascended to a higher plane of existence, above the constraints of meatspace.
> I, for one, am happy such an influential company understands the urgency of this issue and is taking a “default on” stand.

The default stand is for their customers. This isn't even "hey we're going to take a political position" and alienate our customers and employees. (Which, of course, won't alienate anyone at Stripe or anyone working in the Bay Area because they're all basically just the same person and everyone agrees with everything.)

This is a payments company suggesting how their merchants use their product for entirely ancillary purposes. It's arrogance, and a uniquely tech-focused arrogance at that. Meat packers, furniture stores, restaurants, manufacturing companies etc. do not "nudge" their customers into taking political positions that have nothing to do with the product.

I'm a Stripe customer and I'll be putting in a cancellation order if this isn't addressed. (To anyone at Stripe reading this: whatever benefits you receive from ESG points on this will not compare to long-term political blowback and failure when trying to reach new customers who don't already agree with you.)

At a $previous_job I basically also did what the post is describing.

The "best" thing we did was actually using a "template database":
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/14/manage-ag-templatedbs.htm...

We would start a Postgres Process. We would create a new database, run all of our migrations and basic data bring up. Then we would create a new Database per Test Suite, using the one we just ran migrations as the Template.

This meant the initial bring up was a few seconds, but then each test suite would get a new database in a dozen milliseconds (IIRC).
If your bank wants to stop you from making a transaction they can do so today as well, not sure how this would change anything. The big difference is that now you could verify the other parties identity before the transaction instead of just your bank doing it.

I can see an objection to erasure of cash, but not these identities.

I'm going to chime in as yet another voice saying it feels somewhat cheap for you to have left out the part where Impossible X sued Impossible Foods first. Given the similarity between the logos and the fact you have to police a trademark to protect it, Impossible X's suit appears completely justified. But as it stands your current story comes across a bit dishonest, as if you're trying to claim this attempt to cancel your trademark just came out of nowhere. There is a larger situation here, and you do a disservice to both your audience and yourself by brushing past it.
On any serious discussion of neuroscience, I'd advise to keep Jeff Hawkins out of it. Not only are the ideas he publishes often gross simplifications with little data to back it up (but does wonders as marketing), they were ideas pushed and developed by real working neuroscientists. Just my opinion.

I had not thought about that but I think I can add push notifications if this is a problem. So on your phone you just tap the login with my authenticator button and approve the push notification in my authenticator app.

You can optionally add a recovery email.

And this is great, but when you have small children who just want to join things together, a lot of the modern sets have a fairly limited ability to customise.

It’s frustrating. They sell plenty of simple sets, it’s just so attractive to buy the fancy ones recreating some movie.

Good response, thanks.
well, keybase got quite far - it could have been decentralised but they chose to centralise it for commercial reasons. but yes, decentralised identity is hard, hence us cutting that corner (and then getting abuse about being too centralised…)
What you described seems much more like cult insanity than anything else.
hmm, I installed extension, clicked on "Get Started", allowed permissions, and am then presented with a signup/signin page and no way to skip it.

I just want to run some macros locally. Not interested in "cloud" anything unless its on a server that I control.

Questions/comments:

1. Will local functionality work without signup?

2. If so, then please consider a "Get Started" flow that makes this clear and does not require signup before giving any instruction/usage.
I don't see how any feature specific to crypto contributed here? The only coordination required is to get the requisite number of people to contribute - and that's a social problem, not a technical one.
It's certainly possible that that's the reason for it, but it's predicated on various assumptions.

It's also completely possible that the reason they're selling complete assemblies instead of individual ICs is because a) even they don't replace individual ICs, because it's fiddly, more likely to cause further problems, and requires keeping a stock of a lot of different individual chips, and b) they genuinely believe that there's not enough people who would be able to do that replacement (regardless of willingness) for it to be worthwhile.

Personally? I think it's some of both.
In addition, this gets complicated VERY quickly; it's relatively easy to say "This leg is broken; it is not right; it needs to be fixed and changed for better".

With mental illnesses though, it's difficult to comprehensively, objectively, universally define "right/correct/well" and "broken/incorrect".

We all perceive the external world through a faulty set of sensors and interpretations which trigger some mental processes and reactions. It's difficult to mark some such perception/processing as "broken, not worth living". My gut feel is that it's more about finding appropriate environment.

Additionally, non-living items are frequently judged based on their utility; "too broken to fix" is related to "cheaper to replace than to fix". With human beings and mental care - not only is it hard to define "Broken" let alone "too broken", it's far harder to define "not feasible to repair" - though of course, when it comes to public policy, such choices are made daily, by necessity. Only so much money to be invested into so many programs.

And while I'm rambling, note that myself, and many others, there is an inherent double-standard: my threshold for myself being too broken to fix is far far lower (and I'm a massive proponent of voluntary euthanasia, for myself) than for others (I don't want anybody in my life to leave ever)
As a Canon camera owner it's sad to see it missing from the supported cameras lists under nearly all of the features mentioned. Mine does have a GPS unit, though.
In the US currently, the state can borrow, not print, as much as the Fed will purchase, which seems to be unlimited amounts at the moment. Not sure what happens if we get worse inflation and the Fed wants to combat it by raising interest rates. US debt payments will balloon to be a huge part of the budget, which will necessitate borrowing more money.

This isn't some bullion-based monarchy where you can just debase the silver currency with some copper to deal with your monetary problems.

Someone did this with a Banksy print a while back, bought it, burned it, sold it as an NFT. And the NFT sold for several times the value that the print would have. That was back in the NFT frenzy days of early-this-year though.

The reaction to burning the constitution would be overwhelmingly negative. Maybe like KLF's burning a million quid it would ultimately shake out as a powerful statement, but I sort of doubt it.
Knowing that you're at high risk of suicide or have other serious mental health problems is also a good reason to avoid having kids. This isn't directed at the author of the article or their partner; it's how I think when I plan my own life.

I have schizoaffective bipolar disorder, and aspergers. I was making $130,000 a year as a network engineer at Cisco in 1999 before I became too sick to work anymore. Right now I am homeless living in my van with a transmission about to go. I have attempted suicide three times already. I keep thinking about doing it again. No one wants to provide me the best medicine, stable housing. I make $1700 on disability but I can never save enough for a deposit. So what is the point. The fact that I cannot get housing just proves no one cares.

And through all this I keep up my research on my familial disease, pressuring doctors to at least do some tests. I am pretty sure, looking at my genetics, I actually have a mitochondrial disorder. This is an easy test, but they will never do it. They just keep focusing on the same old pathways and that is why there is no progress.

The medications? They do nothing but make me worse. They usually give me drug induced lupus or just make me more suicidal the next day. The only one I can rely on is Klonopin, it works great but I do not take it everyday adn I only take a very low dose, the lowest that works. And every time I get a new doctor I face the stigma of being a drug seeker. Luckily, that is not so much of a problem anymore.

Now iwth COVID, everyone thinks they haev a mood disoder but in reality it is just situational, but they take up all the appointments so now mine are getting pushed further apart.

My nephew hung himself at 14 years old after a doctor thought he had ADHD and gave him ritalin. It was a misdiagnosis.

If you do not have a serious mental illness you have no idea how bad the treatments are and how they ignore any other issues you have in your body. We are the garbage people in this age but we probably used to be the shaman.

So all I can do now is drink a bit to escape, its a great drugs, an awesome calcium channel blocker.

Oh well, that's enough of that. Just wanted to share.
I don't think one needs infinitly many states to store the state of the universe. Why? Quantum mechanics only need Hilbert spaces which are representable with a finite number of bits.

It'd take the flawed XMPP protocol any day over the ad-hoc implementation of Matrix, which hardly even deserves to be called a protocol. Matrix feels like something made by making things up as the wrote the code, there is no coherency at all.
Often it isn't that things are too broken to be fixed, it's just that no one cares to expend the resources to fix them. I think people are like that.
This is super cool--I've wanted something notebook-like for blog posts in the past, and I had no clue it was possible in org-mode!

I can also empathize with the desire for a single-column calendar output, but my first instinct wasn't to implement it with sed:

Substantially more lines than the sed implementation, but also more feature rich, because I can do things like

calz from last month to next month
calz from now to feb

etc. Also: pretty colors.
I want to see smaller form factors e.g. Sony RX1, Sigma fp. The whole point of mirrorless was to move away from DSLR sized kits and yet years later we are back there again.
