This is currently a problem all the streaming box developers are trying to solve. Each modern one has a sort of universal search that allows app providers to publish the list of titles they have available for streaming, and the system will surface those apps if a user goes to that search box to look for the title. We’ll probably have an overview of how good it works in 5 years or so.
>Now, my subscription renews in April of 2022, but Disney has already started emailing me that it is going to increase almost 50% in cost at renewal time. I don't know why they feel the need to start telling me that so far in advance, or so many times (3 emails now). All it's done is make me thing "ok, that's a lot, let's see if we really use it" and also "hmm, I've spent some $ on these new releases".

Well, if you are thinking of not renewing and foget, it is 100% on you. If you are considering not renewing, you should unsub now so that it doesn't auto-renew.
Well, the TV industry always knew there were people who were willing to spend $100/month for cable. And it had adverts.

They hate the idea of those people paying less.
JustWatch.com will do this.
how do you imagine this working for the manufacturers of, e.g. hardware security modules? in fact, for any product, the manufacter can just claim the product consists of one 'part' and the service notes state 'obtain new part', adjusting for whatever level of granularity/number of parts they feel is optimal, unless you want to get into a game of definitions and semantics that will always be incomplete and incorrect and unenforceable...
Unnecessary complications only add avenues for corruption.
It is surprising when the price ceiling for DVDs of recent highly-rated films in the supermarket is £10, and blu-ray is £15.
That sounds more like your external driver (PC or some Box) or your monitor didn't share a supported Displayport Version that supported 4k60 and the HDMI interfaces did. Might've also been the calbe but display-standard supports often sucks on many devices in that regard for higher-level standards.
They also refuse to buffer properly. Tiny latency spike or brief packet loss? Enjoy 480p video for the next minute or so because it downgraded automatically and there is no way to force it back.
Everyone copied from each other and made modifications.

The Prussian influence on the US education system is well known. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prussian_education_system#Unit... .

The thing is, that connection cannot be looked at in isolation.

The main modern influence from the Prussian system we retain is in funding compulsory education through taxes.

But US educators would also have been influenced by other education forms, like the Lancaster System (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monitorial_System "based on the abler pupils being used as 'helpers' to the teacher, passing on the information they had learned to other students").

When that didn't work out so well, in part because the students didn't handle the factory-like/mechanical form of training, people tried the Glasgow System (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Stow#The_Glasgow_System ), which emphasized the training of teachers.

And guess what - the Prussian model also emphasizes the training of teachers.

So when this essay points out how elementary school teachers need to be credentialed under the Prussian system, is that specially a Prussian thing? Or a Glasgow thing that the Prussians copied?

Really, read http://hackeducation.com/2015/04/25/factory-model .
Did it ever occur to you that a failure in a component in a machine specifically built to control fire might lead to uncontrolled fire in places you don’t want it?
Good advice, thank you..
I guess if we found a way to provide say a trillion times more neutrinos than normal we could detect that more easily.
FWIW, you can typically Google for any movie or TV show and it'll show all the services that it's available on. I have multiple streaming services and frequently use this to avoid manually searching all of them.
Interesting, thank you for sharing. I've also removed that part from my original comment.
I don't understand why buying music on iTunes was so popular in the US for a while, when in Europe everyone was already listening to Spotify.
> 1. Integrate code that is more experimental into the development trunk

> 2. Let people discover what is wrong with it

> 3. Fix and iterate it

This kind of experimentation can be done on a separate branch. There's no need to involve whoever maintains the "main" development branch until the code is reasonably OK for release.

In some cases, it can be acceptable to merge code that's clearly marked as experimental into the main trunk if it's a totally separate feature that can be ensured to not affect normal use of the project. You can see this, e.g. with "nightly" Rust features, which are opt-in and clearly separate from the "stable" language. But this is not very feasible in something like a terminal emulator, for obvious reasons.
Presumably, they'd be much less likely to survive if there was no ICU available.

I'm pretty sure I watch HD Netflix in Safari. Surely I can't be watching 720p and be deceiving myself?
That's objectively false, seeing as though the test infrastructure has been able to detect hundreds of thousands more cases during the country's waves. If your claim was accurate, South Africa's case rate would have plateaued at a level and just stayed there.

Sure, the testing infrastructure is not as good as in a developed country, but it has many orders of magnitude more capacity than the current case rate.
One aspect of region locking that makes me very confused is dubbing.

I just moved to Germany and a lot of movies in streaming services are only available in the German dub, not with the original voices... Why?

I mean, I assume that for some reason the platforms just buy the rights for the dubbed version, but don't the subbed original versions also have a ton of demand (maybe more than the dubbed version)?
How far away is Mo Salah from FIFA 2022?
The question would be better phrased as what is wrong with the copyright system. Disney just seems to be the best at maximizing the system to their benefit.
I would respectfully disagree - the pricing felt fair, yet sustainable to me.

I see Disney+ as an "add on" streaming service - something you might get on top off either NetFlix or Amazon Prime, and as such I'd expect to stream far less content from Disney+. Even with 2 young kids, this has indeed been the case.
Well, in that case you sound like an exception to the generality, so good for you (and I mean that genuinely, not the British snarky mode it's usually delivered).

However, most people use such baublage to signify success and wealth, appropriately or not.

I don't think it snobbish (inversely or otherwise) for me to think that this is a sad squandering of resource and a more than slightly horrid aspect of the human character.
Spike in Japan this winter? lol ... yes it's really scary here 73 cases a day nation wide. The only spikes came during summer due to Olympics and Paralympics. Please stop making stuff up.

The major difference to Germany I see between the two countries in terms of measures, Japanese were masks (vaccinated) and Mask Wearing in Germany has become political as it did in the US.
Kinda hard to see it growing on your back. (As a kid I got sunburned--mostly on my back--several times, and am therefore at risk.)

Also, as one (or at least I) gets older, you get a lot of other skin "things": "age" spots, basal and squamous cell carcinomas (kinds of skin cancer, but not as concerning as melanoma), actinic keratosis (non-cancerous), keloids, freckles, and on and on. There are lots of guides on-line to distinguishing among them, but I've seen spots on myself that looked concerning, only to have my dermatologist (old and very experienced) tell me they're nothing to worry about--and sure enough, ten years later nothing has happened.

And on the other hand he found and removed a squamous cell carcinoma that I couldn't even see (yes, even with my glasses on!), confirmed by biopsy.

So I would never trust myself to detect a melanoma, or even a basal or squamous cell carcinoma. I visit the dermatologist once or twice a year, and he always reminds me to stay out of the sun (because cancer) and out of the full moon (because werewolf).
No, not dry.

I've settled into a citrus-brined turkey, roasted in a ceramic grill with hardwood lump and a piece of orange wood. This year it took 4.5 hours at between 220-300 F (after stuffing with more citrus, encasing in citrus butter, basting twice with citrus butter).

Besides an 18 hour brine soak (followed by water and then bourbon rinse), the key is to closely monitor temperature. Took it out when inner thigh was 173F. After taking off the grill, the breast meat reached 161F.

Guests said it is the best turkey they've ever had.

I think I get your point, however the real world is muddy...

> I would model it like that

How does your model take into account orders where order lines do not map to an invoice, or which has invoices which no order lines references?

edit: interesting example btw, I do like a lot of aspects and it was fun seeing some "practical" Scala, haven't had a chance to dig in much. Much appreciated!
Does the collective mass matter? Seems like the important number would be the number of mammals, not their mass.
Couldn’t a large corporation just bid any competitors out of existence by saying their works are worth absurd amounts that are trivial for them to pay but impossible for a small copyright holder?
I don't think it's Spotify that is paying them less, it's consumers.

With Spotify, I can listen to hundreds of new songs every month for $10. That would cost a fortune with CDs or buying digital downloads.
Security is paramount when running your own PBX. Make sure all SIP extension passwords are strong and any IVRs do not allow unauthenticated callers to get a dial tone. Otherwise toll fraudsters can make tens of thousands of dollars of calls in one night!
From what I gather Google Chromecast w/ Google TV is a good performer in this regard. However, the issue remains that you'd have to pay almost 10€ per platform, for a total of 3 platforms, per month. That's simply not economivally viable.

1 Month lockdown, then to travel from anywhere to anywhere you need to stay in isolation for 20 days. I wish this was possible.
Ya just suggestions. With jobs vs UBI, I think the problem is that politicians say they'll create jobs, when really they should be creating incomes. An automation moonshot would quickly follow a change in priorities like that.
Disney+ in France is reasonably priced. I think the first year it was about €65 and it is now expanded with Star and costs €90 a year. That's €7.50 a month which is great value in a house with a kid mad about Star Wars, a toddler who needs occasional distraction, and a couple of adults who find things on Star to re-watch from years ago. We also get some Hulu shows on our Disney+ stream here, too, which can be good.

We do not have Disney+ 'special' films here for a one-time €20-30 fee, a result of film release regulations in this country (I think). Still, considering it is about €13 an adult ticket at the cinema here, if there are a few of us watching a new release I can see how it might make sense. Sure, not the cinema experience, but comparable in price, improved comfort, the chance to pause if needed, and no babysitter to pay for.
C) no copyright after 2 years. (would this really decrease output?)
Prior to runaway self improvement the machine would be improved by human engineers and could be compared to those - way worse, a bit worse, similar. bit better, much better etc. So you should see that happen.
Not dry at all. I sous-vided the beast at 145 for a couple hours and then threw on a hot grill to brown the outside. Super moist but not particularly crispy skin.

Daughter said the white meat was the best she had ever had. (She might be biased though.)
They made too many exceptions on entry protocols for the rich, powerful, and well connected.
My approach now is to rotate. We keep Crave which has HBO and Showtime. We paused Disney and Netflix and will turn back on, watch for a few months to catch-up on Tiger Kings or Wandavision. You can cut a lot of your costs and not have to torrent. Just keeping the subscription going doesn’t seem to be good value.
Sometimes honesty and truth can hurt. Sometimes you have to accept that and move on. Alternatively you can coddle people so that they think every thing that they do is wonderful and a gift to all of mankind. Or you can take offence at honest criticism everything and ... well here we are. Word policing, and overbearing nicety as form of karma currency are not good things. Adults sometimes call each other not nice names. The world is not a cosy blanket left in the sun covered with kittens.
We're nearing the 2nd year of the pandemic.
For the longest time, I used a GSI single-shot moka. It's sold as camping gear; they sell little cups for it... but it's a terrible setup the handle tends to hang over the stove flame and then you can't drink your coffee. Instead, I used turkish teacups of an appropriate size. I used it camping exactly once (used enough gas to boil an entire pot of water), but it's great for use at home. The best coffee I've ever had came out of that thing, cooked on a wood stove, the temperature was just so and the coffee came out one pendulous drip at a time while I sat next to the stove doing homework one cold winter day...

Most of us don't have 15 minutes to wait for our coffee in the morning, but that shot was absolutely divine. Of course, I never did get the wood stove to exactly that temperature again, but now that I'm working at home, it would be worth experimenting with a PID controller.

These days, I use a phin filter and a hot-water pot. Highly optimized for getting me out the door quickly -- I can wash the filter, make a coffee, feed the cat and the kid all in a flurry and it's always to taste.
I used to write it in a blog a long time ago, but that website died and i'm just too busy these days ;)

Ironically, my experience overall as a manager (not just in open source) is that when you ask this question, a lot of the time you get the answer that nobody did anything, because of the latter thing you describe.

IE nobody is acting malicious, but they expected people would want to do X on their own, so nobody tried anything specifically.

In those cases, once you get people onto the path of specifically trying things, and seeing what happens, it's often a great improvement. Even without lots of other process/measurement.

Beyond that, one of the things we do internally, that is a bit harder to do well externally due to social norms/etc, is ask people. In open source, it's trickier because if i contribute randomly to 200 projects, i don't want every single one of them spamming me directly to find out more about my experiences ;)

But occasionally poking people on PR's that are taking a while, or went really well, etc, and seeing if the people they are willing to fill out a form anonymously or something, even if heavily biased, would at least give you some notions of what is going well or not for people.

There is also a lot to be said for analytics on PRs, but again, open source is not very advanced at this right now, so i don't think it's near as viable yet as just asking some people
There's always going to be some undercounting, as in any country, but in terms of being able to test enough cases and be consistent over time South Africa's numbers are reliable.

During earlier waves the testing infrastructure has detected orders of magnitude more cases, and the current lull in cases is following what epidemiologists predicted and expected before a fourth wave in December/January.
> In this case, requirements about code quality and even refusal of code likely to introduce bugs is being called "gatekeeping" which is complete nonsense.

I strongly agree with you. I know gatekeeping has negative connotations and has become a sort of generalized boo word in some circles. But I'm glad maintainers act as gate keepers. Some code is crap and some coders aren't very good. Or, at least, their abilities don't match their ambitions. Someone has to keep low-quality work out of open source projects, and it's not a job I would want.

Nevertheless, quis custodiet ipsos custodes? The real problem with gate-keeping is when the gate-keepers aren't accountable. Criticism is one of the ways we can keep them accountable.

It's the same many areas. I want engineering schools and guilds to gate-keep so bridges don't fall down when I'm driving across them. I want news and book editors to gate-keep so I don't have to wade through acres of dross to find worthwhile content. And I want maintainers to gate-keep so open source software works when I need it.
Scripting in Fish is great in that even when you're still pretty new to Fish, you almost never have to think much about syntax or worry about quoting/word splitting behavior. It feels a little LISP-y, in a good way.
>content owners have the right to ask for however much they want

they already do. and content distributors and consumers all have the right to say "nah, your content isn't worth that much".
Without reading the papers it’s hard to know for sure, but we can break down the terms and make a decent guess.

Domain invariance is the ability for a model to deal with multiple problem domains (e.g. wind conditions, type of drone, etc).

Adversarial training means teaching the system to deal with different domains by deliberately giving it the hardest possible examples of different domains - where these difficult examples are in fact typically learned by looking at the gradients from the main algorithm and seeing what would cause it the most problems, and then giving it that problematic domain and forcing it to behave well. The math is similar to GANs where you have multiple neural nets effectively fighting against each other to achieve some desired outcome.

Meta-learning is where you use ML to learn something about how to train your model. This can take many forms. Sometimes this means learning how an optimizer should work. Sometimes it’s a lot like fine-tuning where the meta-learner learns a kind of base model that can easily be adapted to new situations. I’d guess in this situation it’s the latter.
Yeah for home use, futzing with the stove and rubber gasketed contraptions seems pointless. Pourover works well.

I used to use aeropress but the rubber plunger degrades and builds up grime, I also find pourover more fun to use.

Having a source of hot water ready to go makes it even easier.
It’s a quality sacrifice, but the prevent quite a lot of food poisoning. As far as the industry is concerned overcooked turkey isn’t going to end a holiday tradition, however a trip to the hospital could.
Unfortunately it doesn't work so well outside of the US
- especially when you live in a smaller country.
There are other alternatives. 20 students per teacher, along with an teacher's aide/intern for starters.

And I had a very different type of schooling, even though it was public. And in a 1970s working class/middle class town. From 1-5th grade, we were taught a subject together, then separately in turn according to our ability and level. While not being actively taught we worked on packets that we worked through at our own pace. This allowed some students to advance years ahead in English or math, as well as preventing teachers from passing kids who do not comprehend the material, while still being taught in the same classroom. I'm surprised this method is not used more often. Perhaps it failed on the whole. It seemed to work well for me.

Although the lower amount of single income two parent households is definitely an issue, as are the modern extended over 40 hour workweek for parents. And the lack of independence imparted from walking to elementary school, which was common then.
Thanks for taking the time to write that, looks super interesting. I will definitely check it out.
Uug
You don't have to agree with the justification, but calling it "nonsense" seems a bit unfair. The github threads are a bit long and with several different points made, but my reading of the bottom line is: "this is not the official icon, it should not be in tree"
Ugh. I just went 8 years without seeing the sun. I need to get my levels checked.
your "opponent" is the sun that is bombarding us with tons of neutrinos. your SNR would be probably bad
Once they solve the terrible quality that streaming is sure.
If you have invested into your audio/video setup (9.2 surround) streaming offers terrible bitrates (especially audio).

Netflix is terrible for your home cinema - it means their shows will not come out on BluRay.
I'm not sure what about Java is stopping you from making static classes.
Supporting 4K to a limited list of known hardware like AppleTV 4K, Roku, etc is much easier than trying to imagine the endless possibilities of what ever frankenputer you've assembled running whatever distro you've chosen while using whatever excuse of a driver you've managed to install for your hardware. Now mutltiply that across the larger number of windows users.

I can't imagine why they've chosen the path they have /s

You’re probably right, I’m browsing with iOS safari and no ad-block
Ye subscription streaming are no way competitive with rentals for most people. Unless you want to watch some series on Netflix, the price is just too high for what you get. It is like going on a buffet - you think there is value for the money but you don't eat enough more to justify the price.
You don't need cable (anymore?) to subscribe to Crave.
IMO, no. Seeing a beautiful girl is absolutely life-affirming. Without that potential, why even be here ?
I did 145 for white (5 hours) and dark (overnight). I didn't think it was undercooked at all. I just wish the birds had more dark meat and less white.
Right now, we gather location data from the pages themselves. Some shops (not many) include an address. The process is very error-prone though, so our accuracy in this area is likely not where we want it to be. We are working on other ways to improve that.
>Do you not see the difference between the linux kernel used on many millions of devices and a terminal emulator with a niche audience? 100 people could be turned off from pursuing their contributions to linux to completion for every 1 person who manages to get something through

Your comparison is flawed because you're leaving out the fact that the Torvald's Linux kernel was also a tiny niche project in 1991 and that atmosphere of harsh critique has been there from the beginning.

And yet programmers kept contributing code to Torvald's small project in the 1990s and that evidence of behavior contradicts the gp's rhetorical question of: "Why would anyone even attempt to contribute if their efforts are likely to be dismissed in this way?"

Linux wasn't on a million devices in 1990s so mentioning that later fact is not relevant to its survival characteristics.
Thats a great idea, we'll definitely get some feature comparisons up.

Re moderation/profanity filtering etc we're definitely planning on bringing that in with future work. I'll get a board of future work up and write up some issues to make it clearer what is planned.

Thank you so much for taking a look!
