I read that The XX would intentionally stay up until the wee hours of the morning, and would only start recording once they begun to nod off. Their music sounds so nocturnal and dreamy that I'm sure it must be true.
There are no fiber ISP in my area, so I’m wondering a couple of things.

I only see a single copper 8P8C cable connected to the router in the picture. Looks like it would do nothing in that configuration. Is the fiber coming in through the wall and directly into the router?

And I’m also surprised that all the ‘good’ packets are 70-80ms latency (assuming those pings are from the CO to you and your neighbors houses). That seems pretty bad for a 1Gb/s Ethernet connection IMO.

Is ‘Fiber To The Home’ somehow different from standard Ethernet over fiber optic cables?

I’m a visual artist and I guess I use this all the time, although I don’t have any wake-up device. I just lie down for a nap and loosely let my mind wander around whatever I’m trying to work on, or just undirected.

The images just start to come, not like visual hallucinations, but like someone else were imagining things for me, almost.

I guess it’s good I work from home, and not in an office somewhere…
Listening to music.

Back in the day I listened to the radio, I bought cds and vinyl and listened to entire albums and looked at every detail of the album art. I went record shopping with my brothers. I made mixtapes for special people in my life and received them as well. I’d listen to the radio hoping for a song to come on so I could record it to a cassette on my boombox. I miss the sound of tape. I miss the imperfection.

With everything at my fingertips, I definitely get music A.D.D and skip things often. I don’t care about bands or artists as much. I don’t listen to albums like I used to. I’ve outsourced my music discovery to Spotify playlists and while it’s convenient and sometimes spot on, I sometimes miss the old days of going on a date to the record store and finding something special.
It really wouldn’t.
I tried a few calculators and flying Auckland to London return (you can’t fly that much further) comes out somewhere around 3000kgs.

To get to the amount Bezos uses (maybe 75 tonnes, but likely 250-1000 tonnes), that one hell of a lot of flying.

I didn’t think the commentary was that good this year, too many awkward personalities. Anish was constantly talking over Judit. I tuned into to Vishy’s stream for a bit, but the person he had with him was incredibly awkward. I find Danny Rensch to be completely insufferable, which is a shame because Caruana is so good. Howell and Houska are pretty good, but they had some terrible guests on that stream, and all of the beard guys segments were incredibly cringe.

Jan and Svidler from the Karjaken match was the best commentary team we’ve had for a championship imo. I remember the main Chennai team being pretty decent as well, Tania’s a very good commentator, so I don’t know why they had her running around the event center interviewing people.
As far as I know in the country where I live non violent criminals are treated much more leniently. They have “vacations” where they can go back to their families for holidays like Christmas and special events.

If they do run away they’ll get a much bigger sentence, so people just return so they can get it over with.

Rumour has it, management got extremely ambitious with AI. Every actor in the game world was to have a personality, daily routines etc.

The devs tried to explain how absolutely unfeasible that is, but management was convinced it's possible - and would indeed be ground-breaking.

After a large number of years of toiling with the problem, the writing on the wall was finally seen. The NPC AI was scrapped and replaced with crude "we'll just spawn the cops around you so they don't have to have a chase mode"-level hacks, to allow them to ship in 2020.

Now they're stuck in limbo, because the players are still waiting for those marvellous AI miracles that were promised, but they remain absolutely impossible to deliver. CDPR can patch things like the car physics, but people's expectations were thoroughly mismanaged and they'll forever be disappointed

It sounds like this study has a series of problems. No control group, no reference measurement, no predefined hypothesis, and it doesn’t seem to mention number of participants, unless I missed it suggesting that it’s a small number.

From this read I doubt it would replicate under stricter experimental conditions and with more rigor.

Edit: Oh and I forgot that the noted effect being equated with creativity is somewhat unreliable. Essentially they where given a math problem that randomly seems to also give an answer you can find in the number itself, but anyone would know that this can’t be relied upon and might lead to errors if you just assume that’s the answer. That is unless your unfocused or just less logical. They could repeat the test and replace the sleep element with getting drunk and they would likely see an effect.
I almost stopped myself from posting it over such concerns, but I wasn't about to let all those minutes go to waste without sharing a joke to some. It was really just meant for Twitter banter.

Laws come and go. It’s not hard to think of things that seem blatantly wrong now, that were formerly legal. Do we describe those that wanted the law changes that have since occurred as ‘virtue signalling’?

Making money by pouring oil into the environment seems pretty clearly wrong.

I’d argue that the behaviour of the protagonists in the article is virtue signalling, they are seemingly doing good things for their community while actually damaging the place.
Seems you are not familiar with Java either as the insecure log4j2 library is already fixed by volunteers.
This is actually a very friendly nudge... It only downloads and replaces the jndi escape sequence. No remote code execution.

Why not let you run for PM even if you're not from a commonwealth country?
It is a great game, but marketed incorrectly. It isn't an open world game. It is a narrative driven looter shooter with amazing visuals. It isn't the game I wanted. I have zero desire the replay it (and you can't really play past the 'end'). It is worth the price of admission IF you have a computer to run it, which is a significant hurdle.

Interestingly I played Psychonauts 2 and Cyberpunk 2077 back to back, both at times felt like playing a movie rendered into video game form.
Why does Teams need to handle emergency calling? What is the mandate that says it does?
This is an excellent idea that will surely be nixed by legal - why gather evidence against yourself?

I genuinely can't tell if this is deadpan humor or not, since Tesla's build-to-order page as of this moment refers to this option package as "Full Self-Driving Capability."
I also thought about this, but I did neither find an RFID chip that was capable of storing enough data for this, nor the space for encoded data in printable form.

There is a commercial product for children, called Tonies (Or Toniebox) - see https://us.tonies.com/. They have something called "Kreativ-Tonies" (german), where you can store up to 90min of audio content, but I did not find out, how they are working technically. I think that they just store it on a cloud server and stream / download the content on usage, but I'm not sure about this.

BTW: I don't think, that storing the music on a card directly would be the best approach, because if the card breaks, you have to rebuild the whole card. If the music is stored on the device or cloud, you just have to print one.
I believe it is called Kari's Law. Anything that presents as a phone needs to be able to handle emergency calls, or something to that effect.

Edit: I'm not super familar with it, it's just something I remember reading before. It might not be Kari's Law exactly, as that seems to be more for Multiline Telephone Systems, such as in hotels or offices. Maybe I'm totally wrong and calling apps like Teams don't need to handle emergency calls and they simply choose to, but I'm pretty sure they are required to.
I suppose that would depend on if the horses were free range or confined to a fenced field.

I don't want this to sound combative, but maybe you should become more comfortable in bash.

Maybe you don't need portability in your code, but maybe you could use more portability of your skills.

Maybe you can assume that ansible will be on every system you admin, but maybe that will definitely reduce your options and it's possible you don't even know what benefits you are trading by not having the depth.

You should still use input validation for many other reasons besides log injection.
...if you don't have much data, that is. Otherwise, you'll have huge egress costs.
My perspective is that, ML/DL is just another tool in the shed, with its own advantages and disadvantages. It excels when you have massive amounts of data to begin with, but fails catastrophically otherwise. And encoding domain specific knowledge about your data is the most important trick of creating good models and loss functions, so deep learning won't "automatically solve your problem" unless you're doing something cookie-cutter like image classification.

The verdict is that people in every scientific/engineering field should learn a bit of ML/DL (the underlying theory in it is not that hard), think a bit about the benefits and costs of it, tuck it in their toolbelt as one of their various tools, and move on. There's no harm in learning about the new trendy stuff, but keep in mind that there's no point in banging even the most high-quality hammer at a screw.
Not to be rude, but I find that interesting and would like to guess.. Do you deal with a lot of random data in your daily/work life? Are you regularly compelled to deal with nonsense?

I can only speak for me, but isolated demonstrations of security vulnerabilities have definitely helped me learn both how to anticipate and identify issues in real work.

Comparing ELO like that is silly. Kasparov had his final championship victory in 1995, and it was during the period in which he had left FIDE. Karpov won the FIDE championships (which of course Kasparov didn’t compete in), in ‘93, ‘96 and ‘98.

You could pick a similarly silly way to compare their careers by comparing their peak ELO. Which for Kasparov was 2851, and for Magnus 2882 (highest in history incidentally). Which is a rather large difference given the ELO system gets so wonky at that level that you can drop in ELO after winning an event (as I believe happened to Magnus after he won the Norway tournament this year).
Isn't the problem that the normal distribution doesn't have an (inverse) CDF in closed form? So even the most common non-uniform distribution becomes a pathological example.

I think it is fortunate that great engineers like OP are rejected in Leetcode style interviews. The benefit is twofold:

- It makes fresh graduate noobs (or even just noobs in general) able to compete on equal ground on high-paying job prospects. Think about it, if every high paying jobs out there value experience over leetcode style of interviews, then young noob programmers won't be able to rake great salary because all of those jobs are filled already by experienced engineers

- Great engineers should just use their talent somewhere else in startups, create more innovation, create more wealth rather than helping the big tech giants become bigger
The state of game development jobs, with near universal "crunch", lower pay than much of the industry, sexual harassment and discrimination everywhere, suggests that the market is not correcting for these things, isn't it?

Yeah i agree, twitch and youtube are producing a new type of celebrity where the content can be created by anyone. Its build your own content, create your own community and do it all yourself. This is disrupting the old entertainment industry where you needed many well connected people to connect you to the audience, and your content was reviewed heavily by ‘experts’ before production.

The content is easier to produce due to technology, and this is personal opinion but its way better than what was made by television studios etc.

Wouldn’t it be better for apps on mainstream OSes to be both able and required to use OS facilities for that? I mean, it’s not as if Android doesn’t have a solution for this. Why should Android apps have to (redundantly and almost certainly incorrectly) implement this when the OS already does? Yeah a tablet isn’t a phone. But it’s running a phone OS.

You can't search/filter for anything other than type-of-app/game. In fact, they added the tags for ads/IAPs and hoicked them to the top of the page, rather than sticking them with the rest of the app metadata below the fold. I'd be more willing to think a lack of ad-status filters was nefarious if it was suspiciously missing from a list of other searchable filters.

The fact that they don't have any support for filtering just says to me that they don't really care about app discovery outside of what they build suggested lists for, which seems orthogonal here since some of the suggested lists they curate are literally titled "Ad-free games" (plus "Offline games", "Premium games", "No-interruption games", etc which are also all largely filled with no-ad games, with a few exceptions).

Maybe they're omitting entire features / filter systems just so they don't have to add the sub-ability to just see which apps don't have ads, but I doubt it. As other comments have stated, a lot of people just don't want Amazon-like product titles crammed with keywords on keywords, especially when they're not even checked for correctness. I'm one of those people.

I'd say this probably boils down to a differing fundamental assumption we have: your comment seems to imply you might think big companies are inherently out to maximize profits through manipulating people, even if that means intentionally making a product worse for customers. If that's the case, there's really no point in debating here since that's a completely different conversation and I doubt either of us have the necessary internal evidence needed to convince the other of the real intentions behind withholding this specific feature.
Oh absolutely. How smart people not people who can do fizzbuzz and friends.
I wouldn't have wasted an hour on it. :)
Just tell the customer they have to XOR bits from all randomness providers, and they're fine if at least one is truly random. This really sounds like a business where all competitors could hang out together!

You could say Hikaru single handedly popularised chess because he's a GM who started memeing on twitch.tv. There are other streamers who are also big, and some youtubers, but I'd say the fact that he's so highly ranked was required for success. Then Pogchamps tournament happened and chess exploded.
