My experience is that they are semi-openly discussed. At places I have worked, generally you do get a sense of what most people are making.

But at the same time, it's a bit taboo because no good can come of it. Everyone is not the same, and individual circumstances dictate what somebody's salary is. If you think you make more than the norm, why would you share that around and risk pissing people off. And if you make less, what do you have to gain by advertising that widely?

Imo, your salary is between you and your employer. You know, or can estimate and confirm how much you can get on the job market, and your employer knows the same about how much they have to pay to get someone they want. Between people, who literally are never completely the same, it just creates animosity and anger and has no upside.

(I'm talking about professional jobs, for unskilled jobs where people are commodities, ie union jobs, you everyone probably does know each others pay, and nobody wins because people know they make the same no matter what they do)
are you serious? What do you think a phone is for, just phone calls?
Since most of the 1000Base-T1 gear is still unreasonably expensive/effectively impossible to get quickly in small quantities, you can run 100mbps and 1gbps Ethernet over "reasonable" lengths of single twisted pair using MoCA adapters plus coax->twisted pair baluns. Achievable cable length will obviously depend on EMI conditions, but I've had reasonable success with this method on twisted pairs in industrial robots.
Sure, and most of that mob wasn't neo-Nazi - so I don't see how a ban on Nazi ideology or propaganda would have affected that in any way.
I cut/thread pipe with Olive oil. I also use in on material in my watch lathe.

I started using it because I ran out if cutting fluid, and noticed no difference.

(It seems like I'm always being told to use this oil, or cleaner, when I'm working on a project. Before paying for the brand name, I always look up the MSDS on the product. Many products can be made at home with experimenting.)
The idea that you have to 'ini' modules every time you rerun your app, and that setting breakpoints in the visual debugger does not always work has always baffled me.

There is also a weird sort of Stockholm syndrome (appropriate for a derivative of a swedish language, I suppose ?) where people find great reasons to explain why you don't really need a "fancy" debugger (as in, visual studio from 1998.)

Which is weird because it would have been useful to me about once per day of elixir programming in the last five years. But then, so would have a half-decent static type checker, and it's not like it's coming any time soon. So IO.inspect it is.

Which is okay, I guess.
It seems like this framework is addressing that but so far a PWA is a disorganized patchwork of features that might seem to fit together if you squint. For instance the user has no control over how much IndexedDB storage is used if any, and that the only thing you do have consent for is notifications…. Which normally is a request to spam, maybe 10% of the time it is a ‘real’ PWA but I am sure the majority of those are spam too.

People who use the web are used to being spammed at every turn so naturally they are going to expect any feature usually used for spam to be used for spamming. It doesn’t help that PWA hasn’t had clear branding that ordinary people would understand.
Yes please! I just want to know if such a screen can serve as the UI (including touch input from the user) for a laptop that's folded and put away somewhere nearby.
Yawn. How did this make it to the top? I thought programmers were supposed to be good at math.

Until you get a cool idea and can't stomach fighting the corporate bureaucracy to make it happen, so you start your own company. Like every generation of entrepreneurs before you.

Give it a go and you’ll see that they have a long way to go… Cool POC, though.
Yeah, be completely generic, an everyman (person?)
We have a customer that was using ports directly exposed to the Internet to get to embedded VNC servers in some plant monitoring gear. I set them up a Guacamole VM from Bitnami or Turnkey on their environment and turned them loose on it. Since self-hosting and 100% control is exactly what they want, they loved it and we don't have to worry about hundreds of Internet-exposed VNC servers with the same single password.
What can you gain from it?
If someone makes a higher wage, you may be frustrated, and if lower you may stick at your current job just because it pays well.
Pay is important, but there are many parameters that determine your worth to a company, such as your familiarity with a specific system, potential to grow, performance, etc.
Phones can be quite secure if you take the time to secure them.

The big issue is thunderbolt. Sometimes you'll have to explain to people that the external display can only be connected by this USB port using this cable and not that USB port using that cable.

"But they look exactly the same". Yes they do :(
Yes it did, down in Highlands Ranch we got at least a couple of inches. They measure at DIA (which is basically in Kansas) so no “official” snow.

I feel a lot of the "ThinkPad running GNU/Linux" crowd I described were originally descended from the Usenet crowd, and the culture propagated.

They are the Unix die-hards who refuse to use non-FOSS solutions at any cost, and actively are hostile to Microsoft (and maybe Apple/Google).

Whereas the people used to top posting were trained that way because that's how Outlook worked.
I wonder why 'My native land' gets translated with flags for American Samoa and Somalia.
I concur. As a believing Christian, if somebody comes along and says “hey do you want to watch this Jesus show/movie?” my honest answer is…not really! I went into the Chosen expecting it to be awful and have been very impressed by the story telling and production quality . You pinpoint part of the problem: in an attempt to be reverent, shows or movies will make it all so pious as to remove anything earthly or real about it. And, surprise surprise, that’s dreadfully boring. Or if there is some grit/problem, there’s a “once saved always saved” bent to it where the problem is fixed and then the movie ends…as of life isn’t full of hardships after baptism/whatever!

I think the second problem for Jesus films is due to the nature of the gospels themselves: outside of the Passion narratives, they are strung together stories with little narrative connection. (I know, I know, it’s more nuanced than that…but the point being that a film director just can’t make a film about the gospels without making it seem like a random string of events with largely different people/places). It is this problem that the Chosen so masterfully addresses: make the focus on the characters in the story, not Jesus, and thereby give a narrative form to what are otherwise brief, well-known stories. The healing at the well, whose brother is made to be a militant apostle, is a great example.

There have also been some flourishes in the show that have indicated some real artistic meditation/thought by the writers, for example when Jesus and John discuss the Torah and John is given the first insights into his eventual theology.
Apparently mechanical engineers learn about lubricants: how they're made, why they differ, what to use when. Greases, oils, and penetrating lubricants all are variations of the same thing: fats, soaps, additives. You figure out what your application is and how the lubricant needs to perform, then design your lubricant to purpose. (fwiw the market for lubricants is about $125B globally and grows every year)

Also, really dumb fact: you can make gallons of your own sexual lubricant for pennies. Just mix a teaspoon of xantham gum with a pint of water (and if you want to preserve the whole batch, 10 drops of grapefruit seed extract). The stuff you buy in stores is about 100x more expensive and contains potentially-harmful additives.
Despite what the OPs video suggests, there are no ropes used, rather steel cables. A rope's mechanical properties wouldn't be beneficial for a ski lift.
1. Easy to view & remember.
2. The oil smear is visible in reflected light, and that pattern is not quickly overwritten by using the device.
3. Typical gesture patterns mean gestures start from similar positions (high) and are frequently unoriginal.
4. Gestures are simpler than the equivalent code (e.g. the passcodes 1397 and 1235987 are gesturally identical)
5. In practice the reality of finger sizes mean that join-the-dots encourages users to draw a gesture using only adjacent dots (e.g. connecting dot 1 to 2, 4 or 5, rather than 1 to 6 or 8.)
Does induction generally work for sets of n given any precondition?
I've for sure felt this. I'm impedance-matching rather than making things that work.
That's not how I interpreted it at all.
Immunity or evasion thereof is never 100%. Natural immunity from prior infection with another variant is certain to provide at least some protection against Omicron but it may be limited.

Possibly on the desktop too... I imagine we'll see many m1 like windows pc options in the near future...
I had a chuckle at the 3.5Mbps that the wet string was getting in the article. When I first moved in to this house, I was getting around 3Mbps on ADSL. Thankfully now I'm on 100Mbps fibre (not amazing by global standards, but good by Australian standards).

That wet string would have been an upgrade for me.

I've noticed its also quite warm here in Canada too: It's only snowed twice so far (in Toronto), and melted after one day. It usually starts snowing right after Halloween, but thus far, we've had only slush-type snow come in during late November. I'm guessing this has to do with El Ninõ-like climate fluctuations.
Genuine question- my understanding is an NFT has no legal rights and no legal connection to whatever real thing it's a token "of".

Therefore, does existing copyright even consider an NFT as any sort of derivative work? It seems to me like anyone could sell an NFT of anything. If you say "this token on this blockchain is for fans of (copyrighted thing)" or "this token on this blockchain represents (copyrighted thing)" can the copyright owner stop that sale?
Well you're going to get infected eventually no matter what you do, so discussion of sacrifices is rather irrelevant.

What amazes me more is that antique stuff is often so much better than the stuff we make today, not only build quality but also design. And it is not survivor bias, because often I cannot even find equivalent new stuff with equal quality.
No rule of thumb should be a mantra. Parsing when you don’t need to induces unnecessary coupling, which can be quite undesirable in many scenarios. Like any technique, there are times when it’s worth it and times when it’s not.
Yeah, the tone of these talks is kind of weird. They talk about how "we decided to do foo" when the reality is "we updated to the latest tech from our upstream providers which got us foo".
Ha, cheers.
> They must be applications with extremely bad design causing super low cache hits.

So basically any program written in a language with pointer types exclusively.
This is true, and IMHO somewhere that App-Stores could potentially assist in building trust for OSS Apps being distributed.

What I'm envisioning is a 'build hash' that is reproducible based on the public source code with a given set of compiler settings (i.e. same used for publish.) The systems app-management widget could then display this build hash in the app-check menu.

This would likely require more care in packaging, as well as some form of secure config API that allows companies to provide certain bits of configuration (i.e. remote servers to contact) without impacting the build output. This would mean that yes, people would still need to audit the code, but at least it's easy for anyone to canary out to the internet that the hashes are mismatching, same for when someone does find something on an audit.

OTOH, I'm sure Telegram's competitors in the chat space would love a reason to de-legitimize them, so it wouldn't surprise me if -someone- out there was already doing some sort of compare on published builds.
It's highlights the gap between what NFTs are said to be (paying artists, owning artworks), and what they are (get rich quick off other people's content).

In this case authors of the skins aren't getting paid anything. Copyright situation of 80K files found on the Internet is also going to be a mixed bag. It may create a few paradoxes where people who paid for an NFT don't have any legal right to use what the NFT links to.
This is awful. For each trip one of these would have made, now a car is going to make it instead.
The images on that page are much lower color than 8 bit.

8-bit color is 256 total colors on the image. A combination of a good pallet and dithering can be very photorealistic.
According the article because of the fierce competition. But I'm not convinced.
Why they are CEOs of the long time established companies in USA, and not a founders of the alike companies around the world and especially in India?
No, I'm not buying the explanation from the article.
It's BTW also possible to make a left turn on a single rope if you push something against the t-bars. In German it's called "Bachmannkurve" and it uses a giant wheel. You can see it in action here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gfw4em7e2OQ

> E.g., in Coq, induction over the natural numbers always starts at 0. When you think about doing induction starting at another number, you're transforming your goal to include something of the form n >= m -> P(n).

The concept of a “minimal base case” really weirded me out but I couldn’t quite put my finger on why. Thanks for the painstaking explanation, this was perspective-broadening.
I'm not familiar with chainsaw oils specifically, but there's a similar trend in gun lubricants, where many (non-military) ones are vegetabe oil blends with additives that are supposed to prevent gumming etc; I suspect these are very similar, if not the same compounds.

There is still an ongoing debate on whether these are good enough etc. On one hand, some people swear by them, and non-toxicity is especially nice when it's going to be heated rapidly right next to your face. On the other hand, there are certainly quite a few recorded cases of things gummied up when stored long term. It appears that the additives do help quite a bit, but it's still a failure mode to consider, unlike synthetic oils.
Yes. Induction is the mathematics equivalent of recursion. Well, at least if you stay within the space of finite things.

Example: prove that a tree of size n has exactly n-1 edges.
The bigoted unequal capitalization of racial labels is certainly political, and has spread rapidly since the 2020 BLM riots. However, it predates this current iteration of them. It has existed at least since the Trump election, probably more into the Obama administration when the left really tried to ramp up the race divide and created things like the MAGA movement.
I repeat that wisdom about performance optimization more frequently than my coworkers probably like, but it can still be taken too far. If you have two approaches that are equally clear and equally easy, take the one that you expect to be more performant.

In this case, we have two lubricants that are apparently interchangeable. One we know has potential downsides (petroleum based oils are known to be harmful to the ground when spilled; this is part of why we have laws against doing so); one does not. Pick the one that doesn't, since all else is effectively equal.

Original title: "The Business of Extracting Knowledge from Academic Publications"

TL;DR: I worked on biomedical literature search, discovery and recommender web applications for many months and concluded that extracting, structuring or synthesizing "insights" from academic publications (papers) or building knowledge bases from a domain corpus of literature has negligible value in industry.

The headline here is just wrong and clearly with an axe to grind.
Such code exists basically in any company what has been around for more that 20 years. Working with a legacy code is a challenge, yet do-able.
I don't think they were "casually" accepted, as many workplace safety rules and agencies were developed in the 20th century. There may have been a certain feeling that some level of injuries were inevitable in large industrial/construction settings, but there definitely were efforts to reduce them.
I’m so glad you posted that, that was the solution I had in my head when the OP narrator asked the viewer to pause and consider a solution. Very interesting.
It doesn’t find malicious packages but vulnerable packages. There is a major difference between these 2.
Generally clever people don't lie about this kind of stuff: they have too much to lose and do not want the notoriety and libel case that would follow.

All claims deserve to be followed up - and should this be false then the person will get what's coming to them.

Tesla Deals with the Manufacturing Hell. Gigapress (Part 1)
When Elon Musk announced the Model 3, he said that that is only the beginning and a manufacturing hell was awaiting them in the next 6 months. He then said that design is the easy part, manufacturing is a hundred times more challenging. Gigapress is a great example of how Tesla innovates to bring the manufacturing hell onto its knees.

I get the idea, but I feel FB sucks so badly that eventually a much better product will figure out a way through the gauntlet. There's a lot of money sloshing around out there with nothing to do.

Most likely the product will be free for a while and switch to paid. It kind of sucks but for a really good product it could work.
This and its follow ups are a worrying stream of consciousness and I'm not entirely sure what I said that you're trying to connect with.

> These people are inept and blame situations

Which people? People working service? As the thread goes, we can't just delete those roles, pay everyone enough to work less and expect our economy to function as it does. We rely on people having shitty jobs both locally and overseas to make our dream work. We can't get by on unicorn farts.

Which is to say there will always be somebody working every hour of the day in these dead-end jobs, reading messages on hacked printers telling them they should just work less... But they don't have that choice. They can't get good because education and opportunity are neither free, instant or even guaranteed. Nobody here is blaming anybody for that, I just think you don't understand how the world works.

> if they wants to give to do more?

This is at the other end of my argument, people actually being able to work less in their high-paying careers. This isn't affected by your theoretical monster taxes or them suddenly really wanting a yacht. If cost of living goes up, the sums change and they need to weigh things up again.

Ah, these articles make for great entertainment.

Now for the facts:

1. The federal government is California’s largest industry like most states, with about 2.5 million employees

2. California is strategically important to U.S. security. The U.S. military directly owns or controls a significant portion of the southern California coastline. On top of that, the defense department uses central California for military testing and the federal government in general owns or controls much of the mountainous areas in the north and east (Note: that’s where the water comes from)

3. Texas is home to the 2 largest Army posts, many of the U.S. largest defense contractors, and the U.S. space industry. All of it is dependent on federal spending.

4. Texas is part of the U.S. breadbasket, and is a major global energy supplier.

In short, neither Texas nor California can secede from the U.S. without an immediate and overwhelming federal response. They are both way too valuable to the health and security of the country. It would be over before it started.
The author beautifully missed the point of having a EVM in the first place, he missed the "it's trustless" memo. EVM is slow because it runs the same code in millions of computers where no computers are trusted and only the consensus of the computers are trusted. You won't be running Firefox or Linux on EVM.

I like how even the most educated and experienced people in the world can't bother to read the bitcoin whitepaper with no reservations.
> You keep bringing up Palestinian sovereignty and sovereignty in general, but I have yet to understand why you think it’s relevant to this discussion.

What is relevant is that a huge group of people under the authority of a government have no representation in the government. This is the antithesis of democracy. The people of Palestine are under the authority of the Israeli government but have no say in that government.

This is the reason people often say that South Africa wasn’t a democracy until after Apartheid ended in 1994. The fact that Namibians living and working in Namibia still cannot vote in South African elections has nothing to do with it since South Africa has no authority in Namibia.

> Is Spain not a democracy because of Catalonia? Ireland and the UK because of North Ireland, or Scotland? No, these aren't identical situations, and there are obvious differences - note the similarities instead of the differences.

I don’t know why you are bringing this point up now, Catalonians have the same rights as other Spanish citizens, including the right to vote to the national assembly. British citizens in Northern Ireland can still vote in British elections as they are under the authority of the UK and have the same rights as other British citizens. The same does not apply to Palestinians living under the authority of the state of Israel. The similarities here—the fact that a significant number of people want to secede—are superficial in this context. In the case of Northern Ireland the similarities are even less relevant since the UK allows Northern Ireland to secede and join the Republic of Ireland if demonstrated in a majority referendum, Israel does not grant that right to Palestine.

Just to reiterate, what sets Israel apart from other democracies is that a significant part of people living under the authority of the Israeli government are not guaranteed the same rights and freedoms you expect from other democracies.
