Does anyone know of a company that offers this CT as a service? Ideally I’d like this in China, where a machinist is producing tooling for plastic parts. Once the mold is produced, the test part is shipped back to the US, where dimensions are validated. If I had this CT scan of the initial parts, I’d have the data prior to the parts arriving four days later. The physical part is ultimately required, but the CT data would be sufficient to validate the most common failures weren’t encountered.
It’s not for performance, atlassian performance degraded for us with this move.

I’m sure it was a good decision to save costs on their part though.
I think you're off by a lot, the black square at the top left is probably a QFN-24 (i.e. ~0.5mm pin pitch), which would mean it's actually an 0402.

Yes, as the article suggests, a lot of people stay away from bonsai because it smacks of effort, but it can be done simply and easily if you disregard the bonsai love of complexity, age, and perfection
Have you tried attaining power of attorney?
The photo shows an R0402 on it. 0805 is definitely doable by a beginner. 0402 though is at the edge of what could be done without a microscope and not something I’d want to touch with beginner gear.
Right, but local inference is also complicated. So the question is how much of it Idris manages to do without manual annotations. It's not even limited to local definitions with names. If you fully annotate "a=b+2" you get something like "a:int = a:int +:(int->int->int) 2:int". The compiler makes an expression tree and every node in the tree has to get an annotation, either from the source text (i.e. manually) or through inference.
> make sure it's not counterfeit

'Koptan', no kidding! At least the counterfeiter had a sense of humor.
Thank you! Those are extremely important points, and I'm glad to hear it. Rambling from a madman in the desert, so please feel free to ignore me or tell me buzz off (and, if so, it was an honor speaking with you!):

* This might be a worthy tool for simulating aspects of scale: http://imunes.net/

* I assume power usage is a non-trivial concern (looks like yall have been worried about this too). I've tried my fairshare of P2P apps on mobile, and this can be a dealbreaker for many folks. I assume this will be something that has to be dialed in on mobile clients (and probably provides options to the user). I'm sure there are many trade-offs to consider, and I'm hoping logical accounts will provide significant advantages here. Are you feeling confident this will succeed?

* The Store-and-Forward problem looks like a really big deal. Defaulting to friends (for those folks who are lucky to have them) or a chosen subset to proxy seems reasonable. Having the clear ability to pick out who we trust here (including volunteer networks) seems solid (I'm a huge fan of Retroshare's F2F concept). I take it that, ideally, with logical accounts and excellent NAT traversal (also a sore spot usually), one's own cloud of machines will obviate some of the desire to run anything in a datacenter (and even perhaps make friends a fallback). I'm excited to see Dendrite and Conduit grow!

* As part of that portability, at least to my ideal, I'd be able to join my network from scratch using a password hashing algorithm for the private key, as otherwise I may be reliant upon secondary networks to move keys. This is often one of the first applications I want to install on a system to bootstrap myself in.

* Pinecone's Topology looks like a good idea (Yggdrasil is dope too). That metadata problem may still raise its ugly head here. Do you predict the use of onion routing, at least with Tor and i2p, will be relatively easy to integrate in addition? Do you foresee Matrix enabling its own onion routing some day?

* If you had to take a wild guess at the first stable moon landing, when do you think that might occur? Do you think 5-years may be acceptable?
> What happens when we want better features as new tech is invented?

The new tech would prove itself, somehow, and then the standard changed over after there's evidence that the new tech improves more than the cost of the change!
Person who sells bonsai trees says bonsai is a fun and easy hobby. And makes a good case. Yes, they made trees in pots sound cool and whimsical. A Don Draper of shrubbery.
What made it stick for me: a compiler course. NFAs, DFAs, lexers, parsers, semantic rule checking, etc.

Btw: Lexer-less derivation parsers are interesting because of how simple they are to write and maintain. IIRCBIMW, they are neither LL or LR.
Is this a reference to a book or a show? That seems like something I'd really like to read.
You mention a correlation, and then you presume cause and effect. An alternative is that the people most likely to commit suicide are more likely to be treated with multiple involuntary holds.

If psych facilities prevent suicides 50% of the time in the long term, the correlation exists for the 50% where they were unsuccessful. Psych facilities could be wildly successful, and still suicides would be more common with multiple admittances to the facilities.

I’m not saying you are wrong, but I am asking you to consider you could be wrong, before wading into such a dangerous area.

That said, I personally think calling mental health services is only for true emergencies: they are highly toxic environments where a bunch of loonies are locked up together and the nurses and doctors can also be toxic as hell. Putting an 18 year old girl under the power of a 40 year old male psychologist who demands obeisance is deeply sickening. She told me she had been previously committed “for her own safety” (I guess manic sexual behaviour), and she said she was raped while in the facility. Sometimes someone is mental as fuck and committing someone to the psych ward is necessary, but I personally would try all other avenues I could safely do so, even at risk to myself. It is a nasty situation and there usually is lots of downside risks regardless of choices made.
A pregnant transgendered man? How does that work.. if the person was a female but become a male the parts wouldn't be available for a baby. Without surgery they are female with female parts but identify as male so dressing up as a male. How does someone identify as a male but still want a baby.
The only feature I really feel is missing is photo encryption. It's something journalists have been asking for ever since DSLRs existed, and doesn't seem technically infeasible.
You are going to find two or three experts on good Forth code practices on the same team?

I wouldn't even be able to find one, and likely, if I did their idea of what 'good Forth code practices' are would be a world away from mine. And in a way that is what makes Forth as interesting as it is, it's like that vest with a hundred pockets that has everything there just the way you like it. But for someone else that vest would not work at all, simply because they are not you.
I'm guilty of sin two. And I can see the op's point. So I can amend, improve.

One sin that ought to be included replete in CS, math, and physics papers my English writing instructor made me stop: parenthetical phrases. Excessive footnotes are another variation.

Readers are not interested in the author's breadth-first association of one fact to 87 other facts.

Fixing this requires two things: knowing associations is certainly good. But know what's for you and what's for the reader. Second, know the point you're trying to make and nail it without bringing in half baked facts or edge cases.

In my papers I cut all that out. I either connect and explain clearly or I omit.

Re: grandmothering: I totally agree with op: if I'm a specialist in the area it's not value add. Like too many Ted talks it's people telling the in crowd what they probably already agree with. If not a specialist it's inaccessible. Either way it's bad, it's waste.
Honestly I've never met anyone who really likes them, but people want to simulate a situation where you're working together to solve a technical challenge, and see how you work with others, how you clarify requirements, how you communicate progress and ideas, how you test your hypotheses.

Sometimes people really do just want to see if you've memorized Cracking the Coding Interview, and that sucks, but often it's more "can you work out a reasonable solution to this problem in a reasonable way, and tell me about it". We don't know the details here, but I'm guessing all this company said was "four interviews, and one of them will be a technical whiteboarding exercise". I believe you can still get a lot of insight out of a whiteboarding session even if you know for a fact the candidate can write good code.

There are other options, like "tell me about a challenge you've faced" or just talking through a particular project on the resume, but the interviewer might want to have actual code to talk about, because that's a particular set of problem solving and communication skills that another conversation might not get at. I think that's legitimate.
> It isn't rare at all to see Forth as the bootstrap language for bringing up new machines or architectures for instance.

Oh yeah I blanked on this. As an observer I've seen Forth used here even more so than in embedded systems.
That is lazy. Indeed, there is no point in refuting a random 90 page paper. However, a good professional should be able to quickly summarize the state of the area touched by the paper and provide a short list of key citations and publications. A good professional should also be able to say "this is outside of my area of expertise" and point to the general direction of where expert feedback can be sought.

I find ffmpeg more intuitive. Handbrake only has presets, and it pre-fills so many options for you. Why can't I just have "original" everything, just change the format? I don't want any changes except codec, but with Handbrake I don't feel confident it's not going beyond that.
I'm absolutely out of the loop and didn't even remember what a BB game is (that's why I clicked, TBH), but when reading your post the first thing that came to my mind was hydra games, as in "Goodstein's theorem". Goodstein sequences are known to reach 0, eventually (unlike the Collatz function, ironically), but that requires some absoulutely astronomical number of steps. I have no idea how complicated it is to encode, though. So, was it used in generating BBs as well?
I use this and came to the realisation that nobody has SSHFP records set up, even popular services like github which definately should have.
A friend of mine taught remedial algebra at the University of Washington. She related to me that if she wrote on the board:

x + 3 = 5

and asked what `x` was, the students would fall over in a quivering heap and say they had no idea.

If, instead, she wrote:

_ + 3 = 5

and asked them to fill in the _, they all had no difficulty with it. The problem was not that they couldn't grasp the concept, it was that at some point they latched onto the notion that algebra was hard, and `x` meant algebra, and that was the end of that.

for free online news, perhaps. pay for stat, nytimes, economist, scientific american etc you will find journalists who cover science with good understanding.

by the way few good science journalists would cover the story this way. instead they would mostly be quoting experts interpreting the significance of the various studies.

And Scott Alexander would never be one of them. Can you imagine a nytimes science writer quoting a psychiatrist on ivermectin's effectiveness? Never happen.

(also all of these sources' coverage of ivermectin has been much more limited because of the fact that the drug is a scam)
Ahh yeah I think you're right, I was just going by feel from what I remembered of the board.
I don't know that it is optimal, but our team generally batches PRs once per day, to avoid interrupting them. So typically it's going to take about a half day for a review. As different people end their day at different times.

Not in my experience, that one was just a particular kind of bad because he really didn’t know anything about his product.

Like I said, still feel bad about how aggressive I was, but truly, the dude kept saying stuff completely disconnected from reality. I was just an “external stakeholder”.
Interesting. I have a bonsai Jaboticaba tree. It keeps forming new leaves, so it's still alive. One issue is it gets leaf burn/browning on the outside edges. Soaking with tap water every few days for about a year. No fertilizer added.

My two cents. "Shall" and "must" seem identical at face value, but functionally they are quite different.

Compare "You shall not pass this spot!" with "You must not pass this spot!" The former is a straightforward command. This is what must (not) be done, period. The latter has a strong additional implication that "If you insist upon passing the spot, something bad will happen to someone."

If you're at a party drunkenly acting out and your host comes to you and says, "You shall leave right this instant" there isn't any choice in the matter. It's a forgone conclusion that you will leave, end of discussion. "You must leave right this instant" sounds like we want you to leave, and if you don't, there will assuredly be regrettable, albeit unstated consequences.

So, "must" tends to have an implication that a detrimental outcome will definitely happen if the exhortation is disregarded. Yet statutes and contracts usually use "shall." I think this is largely traditional. One must obey the King's Law, not because of any penalty, but because it is the King's Law. But it also has an operational advantage -- it separates the command from the implication of assured penalty. One might think that implying an assured penalty is better, so what gives?

Well, a typical statute might read, "All documents shall be submitted in black ink. All submissions shall total no more than 10 pages." If the shalls were replaced with musts, it would sound as though any invalid submission will be rejected out of hand. But just leaving them as pure "shall" commands gives legislators flexibility in crafting a penalty as weak or strong as desired. E.g. "Failure to adhere to any of the preceding requirements may result in the submission being rejected." We might punish you, or maybe not. Or perhaps, "failure to comply shall result in any pages after the tenth page deemed defective and omitted from consideration." There's a consequence, but as long as you're ok with it, go right ahead. Sometimes legislative sessions wind up deleting the passage with the penalty and then you're left with a "shall" with no penalty at all.
Thank you. Dialog is good.

I don't want to hate Trump, as I think hate is toxic, but I'm aghast at what he has done and enabled. I'm also in the camp that thinks that if the dems lose control in 2024 it will be the end of democracy. I wish that were hyperbole.

Those on the left and right have more in common than with the elites, and that's the plan. But you can find "I'd rather be Russian than Democrat" shirts proudly worn at his rallies.

There is hate being preached, and it's incredibly effective. This is why I've voiced my concerns about "free speech" here before (and it's never been well received, but hey I got to say it!).

I could go on and on but I'll spare you. Again, thank you for engaging.
> But if he did click that button and now is trying to say that the defense might have caused the video to be converted to a lower quality then ignorance is no longer plausible.

I don't understand. Are you saying that my idle speculation somehow grants positive evidence to the claim that there's been prosecutorial misconduct in the case?

The fact that you or I can identify a likely source of error doesn't mean that (1) that is, in fact, the source of error, or (2) that the prosecutor is aware of it. The rest of your post is overly wrought given the information we actually have.
Having owned several cameras, each has pros and cons in its GPS approach.

Canon EOS 6D: Standalone GPS receiver on the body. Takes a long time to get first fix. Weak signal on airplanes. Heavy battery drain. Does not work underground or in big buildings.

Canon EOS M6: Post-shooting tagging with GPS when camera connects to smartphone, using timestamps for correlation. Smartphones are extremely fast (e.g. A-GPS) and accurate (e.g. GPS+GLONASS), can use Wi-Fi for indoor geolocation, and can tag basically 100% of photos without missing any. The cons are the need for accurate timestamps, the need to keep the phone on and logging (potential high battery drain), and the need to manually invoke the sync action after shooting.

Canon EOS RP: Bluetooth connection to phone. The phone's geolocation is fast and accurate. But the Bluetooth connection is terrible; takes 5~10 seconds to establish; cannot geotag missed photos after the fact (unlike the M6); the phone has a tendency to evict the Canon Camera Connect app which means no Bluetooth connection to the camera.
I'm also somewhat familiar with PDF format (wrote a tiny one "by hand" for fun few years ago, read the spec). It is an interesting format, and like OP said, designed for computers from another generation.

It has many cleaver features that made it possible to edit (and read) in computers with less memory than the file.

For example. Do you want to change something in the middle of the file? Change a byte to discard, copy only relevant text to end of the file and never touch that area again. No need to memmove half ths file. As side effect, the file is read from the end (thats why some PDFs only load when the download finishs, there are workarounds though).

The spec advises the reader to place the index tables (I don't remember their actual name, they are pointers using offsets) in a tree-like structure. It had to be "allocate" while writing the file (again, to avoid memove).

The format is also very oriented toward printing. Gives a lot of control.

Unlike OP, I found the format a bit bloated. It specifies many interactive, acessibility, safety features that I don't think anyone but Adobe provides full supports.

Anyway. Now I'm looking into fonts. That are much more sane. Just a plain and old likely turing complete database. Seems great to place to hide information. Also (for those into it, not me) seems a great vector for attack. Pretty much everyone uses the same shaper library (harfbuzz). It is support by virtually every device.
The title of the section quoted is

"Better Relevance"

and I am simply saying, arguably, you can't make that claim without evidence.

(That said, I do find much to like about the article and the WAND / T-WAND explanation. I'm only pointing out you can't claim 'better relevance' without a benchmark to go with it.)

What you want is bracketing. Most cameras do it, my A7ii does for example. Cameras have enough dynamic range nowadays that you'll get close enough.

To be fair, the Switch changed the storage medium and Wii and Wii U disks are bigger than the console itself. That is not to say that Nintendo has not had multiple storage mediums compatible with the same consoles, for example: Gamecube miniDVDs and Wii DVDs working with the Wii and Gameboy cartridges and Gameboy Advance Cartridges working with the Gameboy Advance. But I think I am willing to cut Nintendo some slack for the Switch given the many compromises they must have made to fit that much power into a hand-held unit.

I am sour however that the Wii Remotes are not working with the Switch though, as I find the Wii Wheel to be a superior experience when playing Mario Kart. There is no technical reason for this as far as I can tell as the Switch still uses Bluetooth for connectivity. Now, there are new wheels, but just like the Joy-Cons, they are far too small to be comfortable given the size of my hands.
Easy to Reuse Code vs. Code Designed for Reuse
Anyone who plays or creates online games knows the value of DRM. While it may irk you for reasons, games are designed to be fun. Playing against exploiters is not fun, and that is reality for games that don’t incorporate serious cheat mitigations. Online games are inherently transient, so the playability of the game should be the first priority, with any efforts to conserve the game taking a back seat to keeping the game fun.
That would imply binary controls over both cognitive and metabolic function, so I'm gonna say no. "Maximizing reliability of perception" is also not really a thing, because perception is pretty subjective.
