Thank you for bringing some perspective to the discussion, at the same time, I have no illusion that it is going to help to convince people that want to believe in the lab leak theory of anything else. Wanting to assign blame for all this is a very strong desire in many and the Chinese government through its acts and omissions has unfortunately made it a lot easier for people to continue to be deluded about this. Some of the arguments made are so incredibly weak that they shouldn't be made at all, and yet, they are supporting this whole house of cards of criminal intent gone wrong. It's a pretty sad statement as to the degree of understanding that people in general have about these matters, if they studied the subject (by reading textbooks, not watching youtube videos) we might be able to sidestep some of this.
> Modern education is Kafkaesque in this regard: things happen, you're told to do some things here, learn some things there, but there is no cogent overarching whole into which everything fits.

You actually think it was ever different? As you note at the start of your next para, "all education systems ..." - there's nothing "modern" about this.
Since the chocolate comes out of the machine tempered, you can pretty easily use the seeding method to maintain temper when melting for other molds. This is much easier than wild crystallization which is required when starting with a fully untempered batch.

With an electric pressure cooker, say Instapot ($60 new, 11/23/21), prep time for rice is less than 3 minutes, and beans even less. Just did it. Cooking time from 1 cup beans (no presoak) to cooked is 1 hour, two cups rice to cooked is 20 minutes. Maybe you can do both combined at the same time in an hour. Total time of involvement by chef…about 5 minutes. And the pot keeps it warm until you wake up from your nap.

Don’t go “Four Yorkshiremen” on the price of the pressure cooker. You can get it for less used, and it’s a perfect present from anyone who knows money is an issue for you. Maybe free at dumpsters when college students are clearing out their dorm rooms.

this is also one of my favorite problems. Though the version that I heard doesn't mention a chess board but rather a general 8x8 (or 10x10) board. I find that this makes the problem even more beautiful because of the initial required insight to color the squares at all and the meaning gaines from it.
Sorry, when I said groups I meant can't use tags/roles as well. Conceptually they are the same to me, sorry for the confusion.

It also wouldn't work in the scenarios I've mentioned in other comments.

Oh okay, so you can store authorization data in a table mapping user_ids to location_ids right? Then instead of using `IN (big_list)` (which can't use indexes) you join on the mapping table (which can use indexes). Something like

CREATE TABLE locations (
location_id INT PRIMARY KEY,
rating INT
);

CREATE TABLE authorized_locations (
user_id INT REFERENCES users (user_id),
location_id INT REFERENCES locations (location_id)
);
CREATE INDEX authorized_locations_user_id_idx ON authorized_locations (user_id);
CREATE INDEX authorized_locations_location_id_idx ON authorized_locations (location_id);

SELECT AVG(rating) FROM locations JOIN authorized_locations USING (location_id) WHERE user_id = $1;
He had more power, because Facebook was an obvious rocket ship. So he could make better deals for himself when it came time to finance, and retain a controlling share in the company. If the board tried to fire him, he could just fire the board.
Lying is shitty (but usually legal), however "buy this device and copy it's features and user interface" is not "dirty hands" but a completely legitimate course of action. They would have hands dirty if they had bribed some Kytch engineers for schematics or hired someone to steal a prototype, but there's nothing wrong about buying a product and reverse engineering it. In fact, I would consider placing restrictions on that - e.g. software EULAs that prohibit reverse engineering - as immoral.

Not unpopular. Programmers who can understand the underlying technology and look beyond the lofty ideological BS of blockchain will immediately know, this will not work in real world scenarios.

I tried to find any company who was using blockchain in any meaningful way. I couldn't find any. All I could find was promotional pieces mentioning what COULD BE DONE with blockchain or a trial that some big name company was CONSIDERING. No updates on the results of those trials or if anyone actually carried out the trial.

Proof-of-worrk blockchain is such a terrible, wasteful and bad concept that anyone who has ever worked with any database would know it's not even close o being useful.
Completely agree that CCS is fundamentally challenged by thermodynamics.

This has been in the news lately. Despite multiple attempts by various Democrats to block the Line 3 pipeline in Minnesota, the current administration is going forward with the same. Quite a different stance from when they shutdown the Keystone XL Phase-4 pipeline at the beginning of the year. Biden has also eased out on offshore drilling. (auction for 80 million acres of federal waters in the Gulf of Mexico).

A source of quality ingredients from around the globe is essential to experiencing the variety of flavors you can get from the native cocoa bean. We plan to work with craft chocolate makers, specialty importers, and farmers/co-ops to supply a variety of nib options. Of course, if you find your own source of ingredients, that works too.

The topic was what is plausible.

> In this case, the malice explanation demands stupidity because it was released in their own city.

Lenin said that "if for the sake of Communism it is necessary for us to destroy 9/10ths of the people, we must not hesitate". Tito killed 1% of his country's population. Stalin killed or starved 20 million. Mao killed or starved 60 million. Pol Pot killed or starved 25% of his country's population.
I guess Canonical, who makes 100% of their revenue on support contracts for open source software, doesn't release the snap server code in open source because... what's the reason you are going to come up with? What possible reason is there apart from making it difficult for anyone else to set up any repository at all?

It's the same reason they bet big on Ubuntu on Phones. App stores are worth a ton of money, you contribute effectively nothing and collect 25% of other company's revenue purely because you can lock out any competing app store.

I would add that, in context- it’s commonly used to differentiate job functions between managers and… well, ICs at companies where managers and ICs are peers or where ICs are potentially more senior than some managers in title and pay, sometimes by a lot.

So yeah, it’s a term of industry that often shows up in tech companies because of the usefulness of that distinction in those environments.
They are part of the actual intelligence apparatus, or at least former. The execs are former members of Unit 8200, the Israeli SIGINT org. And companies like their's are where former IDF SIGINT officers go after service. And their company is a major piece of Israeli diplomacy; access to their software was one of the carrots Israel has been using to push gulf state away from Iran.
>>Not sure if you meant "look at the roads in New Delhi" in a "derogatory" sense

I live in Bangalore(Roads here are darn horrible) not Delhi, but instead of looking at this in an "derogatory sense", in all honesty what the person is actually right.

In the overwhelming number of issues facing India- Literacy rates, hunger, infrastructure, social crises, is crypto the biggest issue facing India?

Unless your company is a rocket ship already off the launch pad and accelerating to orbit, it's hard to make a deal that doesn't involve voting stock.
Could be a lot of reasons, but what if you have millions of tags/roles, and a user has a large subset of those roles? This actually happened at one job...

What if you sell reporting on location based data with access control, and customers want fine grain control on who sees what? Then you also can't always use groups. Example: I'm a Healthcare provider with 15k locations. Manager X is responsible for 5k locations, so when we create reports we filter all the data by those 5k locations first. Same with viewing any data in the product.

Just curious how others approached this. You could obviously do grouping somehow.
Lot of good, actionable learnings there. I liked this one in particular.

> [26] In a transparent codebase with quick review cycles, APIs will leak implementation details unless you gate-keep.

It's tempting to make quick fixes to APIs but please take it slow. Think through existing customers as well as how could new ones will use it.

Also, something I learned while building/maintaining public APIs was to always clearly document (along with examples) the context in which an API should (ideally) be used and how it combines with other APIs to enable common use cases.
Maybe the only free game in town.

I remember Macromedia charging students about fifty bucks for Flash in the early 2000s, but memory can be unreliable. Skimming through the Wayback Machine, I see it going for about twice that at my alma mater.

I heard of Processing around 2007, and I loved that it was free, but I never really got into it. It felt academic, in a way, and it still does apart from p5.js. I don't mean "educational" or "scholastic", like Scratch or Mindstorms NXT. I mean that in the 2000s, Processing had a branding that reminded me of textbooks and whiteboards. It was cool the way the smart guy was cool in NUMB3RS. So taking up Processing after a couple years of Flash felt like ditching a wacky friend to go see a tutor.

Since then it's become a more welcoming and accessible thing, and I'm glad it has.
Have you tried to build something (lets say, a new kind of storage engine that is not SQL-based) and bring it up to other developers or people at your workplace (never mind business guys)? What is/was their response? Perhaps kill it with fire. If not due to valid technical reasons, financial reasons might seal the deal for it.

And I totally understand the impulse to kill it. Do not unleash it onto the world unless you have thought about your projects long term future (something php & js ignored to do at the time it seems). Thus you end up with tons of pet projects that are either sensibly kept private/ununleashed or because people fear the judgement of others (aka the kill it impulse).

I'd say the nature of the beast is that entrenchment/reinforcement of existing tools/patterns and mental models tend to stick around as they are safe, so a ton of innovation never occurs as someone might not bother to follow a certain path. It's the same with water flowing into existing grooves/cracks in rocks, instead of making new grooves, unless forced to.
Yes it is pleasantly surprising what you can create purely with themes and plugins. No code. Also surprising how much power you get from one of those cheap shared hosts like Hostgator.
throughput can be fixed by adding compute. latency cannot. always optimize for latency with gc.

and no the heap will not keep growing in golang. it'll force threads to help with GC if its falling behind. thereby reducing the rate of allocations and speeding up the collection.
Is it what people do on a sabbatical?
I don't really see the issue. It's not like some sort of deadly sin. If the users re-use passwords then that's on them.
This for sure. Been wearing a particular brand of socks for the last few years, a little more expensive. They fit great but I’m not sure they last any longer than my cheap ones did.

There are also plenty of items that will be treated as disposable no matter the “quality” in real life. A $20 toilet plunger that sits unused for a couple of years will have dry rot on the rubber and break on the first or second use the same as a $1 plunger.
you can fix throughput problems by adding compute resources, you can't fix latency issues. I'll always pick a GC that optimizes latency over throughput. its easier to maintain the software.

Spivak's Calculus is intended for use in a two semester course covering differential and integral calculus. It is a challenging but rewarding introduction to calculus; in my opinion, this text is appropriate for math majors while other STEM students might be better off with a textbook that didn't focus quite so much on learning proofs. It was used at MIT for the first year of Calculus, but only by the math majors.

Michael Spivak is an American mathematician born in Queens, New York.
Can also see this by finding basically any product on Amazon and then being suggested like 30 competitors offering the same the same thing made in the same factory.
Resistor voltage divider on the power rail, plus a voltage reference that runs well below the minimum voltage of the part. Both go to a comparator, which outputs to whatever you want (like hold the part in power on reset)
I don't think those grants would have led to the SARS-CoV-2 sequence either, because the base strain is different. BUT let's be real here. You don't ask for money and do the experiment. You do the experiment and then ask for continuation money. So it is a "generally accepted grantsmanship strategy" that WIV would have been working on viruses adjacent to that in the grant with the same techniques, and adjacent techniques that would lead to the natural next step. If that natural next step infected a postdoc that was careless that one time when he/she was pulling a 9-9-6 workweek... It's all so terrifyingly plausible to anyone who has been there on the front lines doing lab work.
I think the thing that will help most is docs. I don't really see any.

This is what I'm mainly focusing on for https://github.com/hofstadter-io
Agreed. Because roasting is such an important step, we leave that to the professionals much like in the coffee industry. This way, people can select different origins with different roast profiles for different recipes and end up with a variety of premium chocolate flavors. And much like coffee, if you decide that you want to roast your own beans, you can use your coffee roaster and come up with your own roast profile to experiment with flavor development.
I would be curious to know what the specific intention behind your storytelling is. All the same, advice on any specific stripe of storytelling is, as a rule, generalizable. That is kind of what makes stories stories. The first thing to do is to distill extraneous detail into clear forms. Taking a boat over an unending ocean will produce little more than ocean; but, if the water was to recede, it would gradually reveal a varied topography. You will want to bring the elements of the story down to the forms in which they interact with one another best. Taking code as an example, you do not want to string together conditional statement after conditional statement, all with the aim of getting one piece of information into a usable form, and then go on to repeat those conditional statements anew if you need that piece of information in a slightly different form. You want to create functions that can be used as building blocks toward neatly and efficiently getting to your end result. In Children of Paradise, Jericho's disheveled clothing and strophic refrains, so too the symbol that is the trumpet, not to mention his name, do much of the work for the audience. Once these details are established, the audience has an idea of how he fits into the scene upon his arrival. The end toward which all the elements of the story move is the art. But they will be too viscous to do so if they are not sufficiently distilled. Mimesis by Auerbach is the best book on this subject that comes to mind.
Read more stories.

Don’t try to be original.

Understand classics are classics for a reason.
Typo from poster, Tesla model S should be 0.208. Also there should be the double effect, once you improve efficiency with a small step then you get to reduce the battery size which gives less weight and more range.

I am looking forward to hyper efficient electric cars, currently most EVs are enormous. With efficient in-wheel motors, good aerodynamics, and very low weight will result in a much smaller battery and therefore a cheaper car. Solar cars like Lightyear One use these principles in order to become viable.
> Huh, every definition I've seen when I read about this stuff in college, and that I currently see when I google, explicitly relates in some way to consciousness. And anything that means "reaction" "sense" "detect" in a sense pertinent to sentience meant some kind of conscious sensing, conscious reacting. Did the definition change at some point?

You're sort of there, and sort of not. Sentience does require feeling, yes. But feeling doesn't require consciousness, no.

Sentience requires that the subject can desire pleasure, and desire to avoid pain, but neither of those things explicitly requires conscious thought. They are feeling, which you'll find in every definition of sentience, but desire doesn't have any need of a conscious mind. Collective behaviours, like in trees, can exhibit desire and can show pain, without the need for a consciousness to exist.
The question is, worse price than what? In the US you’re supposed to get at least the best price quoted at any stock exchange, the “nationally best bid and offer” (NBBO). Surprisingly, you can often do better, but this is still a good price. I don’t think you can easily do that with cryptocurrency where you normally only trade at one exchange?

Maybe relying on a third party is useful if they can get you better prices without needing accounts with all the exchanges? And brokerages normally give you a better price than any exchange. This is called price improvement. [1]

Robinhood got in trouble for falsely claiming that they get better prices than their competitors and not disclosing that they get payment for order flow, but their customers still got the NBBO I think? Although see [2].

People make a big deal about payment for order flow because they don’t like the idea of someone else making money off them, but that doesn’t mean you got a bad price.

Top Front End Frameworks Must Know
Front end framework is a combination of two separate words, Front end + Framework. Front end is the visual site of any web application or a website, it is that part of the website with which a user interacts, note that backend is that part that involves API calls, database connectivity, authentication and so on, and a framework in literal sense means an essential supporting structure of an object, the object is a website in this case.
Wish I could edit my comment to add a statement that very sadly has been shown to have been needed. age is but one example out of many different conditions that would cause more frail people to self select. Stop replying to say one can zoom in and see age segments.

And please note that the main point of the article is an ELI5 of why absolute death numbers is misleading, but that eli5 doesn’t mention the sample bias which would be a good “next layer” to mention at least in the conclusion.

So yeah it’s all very fine that as so many people like to reply that a reader can dig around and find age groups assuming they already know about sample bias and thus are trying to control for those things. But oh wait one little problem. This article is explaining why one needs to look at rates not absolute numbers. If someone is aware of sample bias why would they need this article? Are you telling me people who need the first eli5 are going to know sample bias?!?!?
yes. golang is actually less restrictive than java. and avoids a ton of the bullshit abstractions you see in every java code base.
