I wonder where you live, in that cities are smaller than Dutch ones.

The photos are from Utrecht, population 360,000, and Amsterdam, population 1,2M.

Looking at https://worldpopulationreview.com/world-cities, Amsterdam is #469 and Utrecht is #1053 (Dallas is #383, Tucson #1047). Amsterdam is the largest city in the Netherlands.

And that’s by population. Area-wise, I expect many US cities to be even larger.

This is what I was attempting to describe. `bind` is implicit, it's the constructor of a monad.

In my definition `map` is serving the purpose of your flatmap, I didn't mean to imply double encapsulation.
Which is exactly what you say when facing an existential crisis. If you have a master password leak you either:

1. lie about it and the truth never comes to light
2. lie about it and get caught and the consequences are the same as if you came clean

If LP suffered a master password leak then there is no benefit to telling the truth.
> It's also really depressing that the entirety of our pop culture is copyrighted, mostly by large faceless corporations.

But if those faceless corporations hadn't paid for our pop culture to be produced and distributed, it wouldn't exist.
From what I understand: you still need the master password locally to decrypt the individual passwords. A hash won't provide that. All you're doing here is logging into LastPass.
Passwords were NOT compromised.

It is hackers using existing compromised email/password combinations on brute force attempts at Lastpass.

That is why your Lastpass password should be a password that you have not nor will ever use on any other site.

I heard hentai pictures don't censor nipples, only penises and vaginas. Haven't seen it myself, of course.
"The underlying message of course is that humans ought to take such things as science, research and knowledge seriously, lest we create our own Idiocracy."

Rather, I felt the underlying message of the film is that the film is a critique of the consumerism and corporatism of the US. The 'idiocracy' with how the government runs, the downward trend of education in the US, and the pessimistic views of our future.
> the Chinese Communist Party’s mouthpiece denounced the ad for not being an “objective description”.

> the model defended the portrayal, calling the outrage “morbid”. “Does that mean I should not be a Chinese because I was born with small eyes?” the model asked. “I was born with eyes like that. They are even smaller in real life. Does that mean I should not be a model because I was born with small eyes?

This doesn't actually sound related to makeup. It sounds like the CCP is saying that if your natural features look too stereotypical, that you're not allowed to appear in pictures.
(1) virtue signaling, and/or
(2) publicly testing the influence of their faction in the courts.

Note that #2 is often part of schemes to create electoral success by campaigning against the courts if they produce undesired results, which (given that the membership of the courts changes over time through politics) is a means of shifting the courts as well as the rest of government.

Constitutions aren't self executing, they do, in practice, what people now decide they do, and, in the most immediate but broadly influential sense in the US system, that's mostly judges.

Absolutely this. All great writers were extremely prolific and disciplined about their craft with no exception. This whole myth about some genius lying on the table and thinking about the order of arranging words is a myth that romanticizes the act of writing.
>Oh yeah, because only men watch porn and hentai.

Nope. But what is the breakdown, 70/30 at best? There's nothing wrong with watching porn. It's just that having a casual "frat house" culture like this where people feel fine sharing these things in a supposedly professional environment inevitably leads to women being ostracized or alienated. The majority who disagree get labelled as boring or buzzkills and are excluded from the group, while the minority who go along are held up as examples to make them feel bad (we're not misogynistic! look!) like you pointed out.
It’s not, really.

Same. Apparently magit is somewhat faster in WSL2, and eventually we'll get magit-libgit, hopefully.
I initially thought this would utilize some sort of GitHub/GitLab/Bitbucket/etc-wide scan to compare code in public repos against that of those provided in answers on StackOverflow. I would still be curious to see that, but this is obviously more direct.
in my opinion, the Zmount is a worthy successor. They fixed all the flaws of the f-mount and really thought about how it would be used over the next 100 years. its bigger so you don't need as much optics for low fstop lenses, it uses 4 armatures for added stability and they added an additional control wire for faster autofocus. Plus it feels justs as solid when connecting your lens
Shortly after Idiocracy, someone bade an ow my balls mobile game and spread like wildfire. The thing is... we were already in Idiocracy when the movie came out. Good sci-fi isn't prophetic, it just describes the world as it already is.
If you’re an American, you should be using the excellent American Heritage Dictionary.
Almost everything we have about the Scandinavian people of that time frame is distorted through time and religion and the simple challenge of turning a story into a song.

So, to believe that they engaged in this complicated performative death ritual, that by all reasonable understanding of human anatomy wouldn't have even worked that way it's portrayed, it seems to make it a simple call to say it's bullshit and never happened.

Top speed of the average glider, the speed which is never to be exceeded is usually 270-300 kph.
This can be improved by making the glider more stiff, as the top speed is often limited by a phenomenon called flutter[1].

Average cross-country flying speeds are currently about 100kph, or higher depending on weather conditions[2]. This can be sustained for 8-10 hours.

Currently this is all based on:
- Looking carefully at detailed weather forecasts
- The pilot observing the weather during the flight
- Calculations for optimizing the average speed[3].

This is without using solar energy and any form of propulsion. Nowadays some gliders have a Front-Electric Sustainer[4]. Aircraft with solar panels on the wings have been demonstrated at small scale[5].

I have used a widely available network of receivers[6] and some algorithms to make predictions on the optimal route to take to your destination, based on the current weather conditions.

I have not performed any calculations on the maximum speed that the glider can travel at, should it use solar and thermals. So I can't tell you how much the speed can be improved. That would be an interesting question to answer.

What a ridiculous comment

So much of our technologies have been built or adapted to enhance and/or fulfil our desires, including sexual desires, it is puzzling to me why you think women are somehow excluded from this. Your post smacks of a modern puritanism.

don't be surprised -- it's just your typical moronic media propaganda used to label and denigrate anyone who questions an established narrative, shutting down any discourse in the process. Much easier to call someone a "conspiracy theorist" in a pointless article with zero value creation to the world than to actually peel back some of the layers.
really? to me it just looks like a small browser based on Qt...
The bigger issue for those who object might be ceding control over personal energy consumption to authoritarian central planners. It fits with a pattern of usurpation of individual liberties under the pretense of emergency.

Whether or not the Earth has a warming climate is largely irrelevant to this point.

The next question would be what the optimal climate is and how do these experts know what it is? We've gone from weather forecasters being wrong about rain over the weekend, to politicians and their pet technocrats asserting that the current climatic trajectory is somehow "wrong". The solution as always, is to give politicians more power.
hardly ignoble-worthy. Sorry to say.
Round trips for ad auctions are a part of it, but my take is that there are redundencies, literally a dev team that doesn’t exist anymore wanted to use one metrics tracker, it was never deleted and a newer team introduced a separate stack to check how long you gaze (sorry, “dwell”) at each paragraph. Multiply this by 10 years. Medium used to be relatively snappy (cached CSS and text + pretty slick lazy loaded images) but nowadays its another lumbering dinosaur.

I guess it’s related to that notion “groups of people can never admit a mistake” - if they ever did a clean sheet redesign it could turn into neo-facebook/reddit (somehow even slower due to extremely tall dependencies) - but they can never go back to first principals of how the site used to work, it would be admitting that things have gotten worse with time.
The point is that script kiddies do not have the ability to do that.
> Why is the responsibility for changing the package anyone but theirs, the people using it; now that they're decided they have stricter requirements for that need?

It isn't. Every open source consumer is ultimately responsible for the use of the code. That's baked into every open source license I'm aware of. Even the "share and enjoy" mantra is a tongue-in-cheek reference to a rhyme that ends with recommending what porcine orifices you can put your head on if you don't like the software.

... But there's more to be gained by the original authors, in glory and internet points, by publishing a fix for the problem than in washing their hands of the whole affair. Some people want their code correct as a point of professional pride alone.
This argument has never made sense to me. Keeping an encrypted password file in the cloud or locally makes no difference. There exists no computer system than can crack an AES256 encrypted document. The weaknesses are in the protocol. Storing the encrypted database in the cloud and downloading it is the same as storing it locally if the decryption protocol is performed locally. If the decryption was done in the cloud I would agree with you, but that is not the case, so the two are the equivalent.
I stopped using lastpass a couple years ago now due to ill-communicated master password leaks, ever-rising fees, and buggy UX.

This seems par for the course, I can’t imagine any credible company or keen user actually using lastpass at this point.

Sea level rise at the Dutch coast has been more or less stable at 2mm/year for the last 120 years or so. No acceleration detected.

Our dikes have been recently upgraded and maintained and one of the responsible public workers said he would expect we could handle a 2m rise right now.

A lot of corporate text in this blog. This seems to be the only sentence where they say that the unusual login activity was actually a software error.

No, it was a butt that was farting, but we didn't know whose ass it was and why it was farting.

I must have watched that movie 50 times. It explains the world so well and brings back the sanity.

While the premise of the movie was demographics, the real world idiocracy is brought about by societies moving away from liberal ideals and turning democracy to a pure popularity/likes/retweets contest. And this is happening across the spectrum, from reactionary right to woke left.
I felt the underlying message was "Intelligent people, stop focusing on career and start having more kids (we really are in a race to the bottom)!"
There's some irony here though. It isn't entirely without value. The author points the finger while assuming his ideology is beyond mockery. Yet, for some of us the article is hilarious.
Not sure if I want to get into this discussion... but is underage porn still illegal when it's not technically depicting a real person? And is it moral? I could see it going either way (no child got hurt in the process / but it may push someone with pedophile tendencies towards acting on them / but it could also provide a safe outlet for someone with those tendencies).
vim isn't even the same class of tool; vim is a text editor, emacs is a lisp environment that implemented text editing (in between an email client, web browser, git frontend, task tracker, ...). And I say that as a vim user.
This video is just gold.

asyncio is probably one of the worst things that happened to programming in the last 2 decades. It's essentially a step backwards, to the technology of the 90s (cooperative multitasking), when a badly written text editor could cause an entire OS to freeze.
How much of this is tax? Obviously tax needs to come from somewhere, and I'd be happier paying that tax during energy consumption than on my pay cheque as I'd rather be incentivized to consume less of a good which has a socially negative side effect than to produce less.

I'm sure there are other ways of looking at it though, and again I have no much idea of how much of this is due to taxes.
Many kinds of loans can be discharged in bankruptcy and no civil wars have broken out to date (for that reason). So for a start, changes could be made to allow student loans to be more easily discharged as well.
Maybe the best argument is that the average of zero items should be zero?
Ah yes, good point!

I was assuming in both cases of manual failover that the operator would have to have some way of physically shutting down the old primary, then starting it again only as a backup that doesn't reply to clients. Alternatively, the cluster would need to remain unavailable if any node is partitioned.

But none of this is really very practical when compared to a consensus protocol (or R/W quorums) and distributed database. I'm genuinely curious how people solve this with something like Postgres. Or is it perhaps something that isn't much worried about?
It's funny to see how 'one side' will completely miss the satirization of themselves in the work, and just laugh at the jokes targeted towards them.

(And FYI I'm not 'taking a side' I can only imagine what 'some other' publication would make of the film)

Judge was also mocking lack of education, slouching cultural standards, lack of competency, lack of moral fibre, conscientiousness etc.. In pretty much every scene.

Though the most memorable for me is: "Welcome to Costco, I love you" as the ultimate derision of cynical 'Happy Face' corporatism.

Think of a brand that you like in part because of the 'Things They Seem to Support' - and be assured that that's the point the joke right there.

But it's full of absurdist goodies: the Fast Food machine that takes your children away, the Costco Law School, Starbucks Rub & Tug etc.

Edit: it maybe a kind of IQ test or maybe 'personality type' test because I saw it with a friend and she didn't grasp any of the satire at all, to her it was 'stupid' and she literally fell asleep. I didn't know what to make of that.

Edit 2: 'Ow My Balls' will be huge on TikTok and it's not going to be long before it's nary exactly that.

Yep, you’ve got the right idea - the implied goal of trying to use the FT is to make blue noise texture generation faster, but it doesn’t seem to work using the DFT. (Or maybe there are unmet constraints on how you need to generate the frequency space texture.)

> How does one construct discrete sample points from the inverted FT?

This is a good question! So one example the author has (in a different post) is how to use blue noise textures for ray traced shadows. The idea is at every pixel of your output image, trace a ray into the scene, then when it hits something, trace a ray toward the light to see if the pixel is lit or shadowed. Normally, you’d use a random number generator to pick a random sample on the hemisphere of the surface the first ray hits, and shoot a new ray in this random direction. You can instead grab your two random values from the red and green channels of a blue noise texture. The blue noise texture could have the same size as your desired output image, and you would use the same pixel id in the blue noise texture as the pixel id of your output image.

That example is pretty easy, but I found out it can be surprisingly tricky to use blue noise textures in other ways, there are a limited number of ways you can use a blue noise texture effectively, and it’s not always an easy drop-in replacement for a white noise random number generator. It’s much harder to use blue noise for multiple samples per pixel, for example. It’s harder to create a sequence of blue-distributed random numbers for use in a single integral. Another way to say that is that it would be difficult to generate your camera rays using blue noise.
Everyone knows who you mean when you call one US party "fascists" and the other "communists", but you've lost pretty much all nuance. And all you've won is a bit of impact, for a while, because the tool will blunt with constant use. You'll have to reach for "super fascists" and "mega communists" next time and that will barely move the needle and you'll be far away from the effect you got when you tried that hack the first time.
Every time the copyright law is discussed, little players and harm done to them is always brought in the conversation. In practice, however, the corporate media behemoths are the ones who benefit most from these laws.

It's 'think of the children!!' argument of the IP laws.
Will this fare better than their ripple partnership where the SEC intervened?

Still, this doesn't address the fact that the op will lose a lot of business with solely crypto.

Therefore, it isn't an answer to his question. So it's not doable in practise.

Except if you want to lose a lot of money if you solely accept crypto.

This has all happened before in 2017. And shortly after crypto was removed as payment option almost everywhere.

Nothing fundamentally has changed since 2017. If so, what?
I was also happy with prototypes, now when I use them, and I use them rarely, other developers look at my code like black magic and my "others should be able to understand my code" circuit breaker kicks in and I convert it to a class.

Is it more readable? Yes.

Do I feel like we are dumbing JS down? Yes.

Is it worth it when we consider that it helps onboarding hundreds of thousands of developers who want to choose JS? Oh f* yes!

You know what actually drove my fiance out of tech? Sitting in front of a computer all day till her health, looks, and worth as a women became threatened because instead of being fit, taking care of her body, and practicing self care she would instead have to do what most men do and just sit all day.

She has made commits to the Linux kernel that have been merged and she loves hentai and porn but is no longer in tech because she literally makes more money being a cam girl and it's way more fun.

Tldr: stop trying to white knight. It's neither warranted nor welcome.
That's interesting, most of the accounts I've heard were that the text mode stuff was vastly superior, because once you knew the interface you could type ahead regardless of how slowly it actually loaded. Are you referring to the difficulty of picking things up in the first place, or am I unaware of some other difficulty that it had?
I was almost like "my mother would love this!!" but then I realized that the floating clock app we had on her computer was specifically an analog clock, not a digital clock, as she found that easier.
This movie is ripe for a remake where the world is stupid-Left instead of stupid-Right.

Starbucks offers gender reassignment surgeries and Costco employees say “Welcome to Costco, I apologise”, and the world-ending crisis is that nobody can actually reproduce any more.

You serious? Nuance is when things are more complicated than the initial basic message would indicate. Elevating the primary message at the expense of those details is exactly what trashing nuance means.
There's some rumination in this article on how difficult it is to get rid of gifts.

I find Marie Kondo's advice on this very practical: https://konmari.com/gifts-that-dont-spark-joy/

“The true purpose of a present is to be received.”

"... You don’t have to keep using the gift forever. If you try using the item and decide that it still doesn’t suit you, thank it for the joy it brought when you first received it – and bid it farewell. The true purpose of a present is to be received, because gifts are a means of conveying someone’s feelings for you. When viewed from this perspective, there is no need to feel guilty about parting with a gift that ultimately doesn’t spark joy."
Area-wise, most US cities are much bigger than European ones, but that's actually part of the problem. Huge amounts of our housing stock is kind of far from everything else, making biking much less appealing.
My cousin's husband has been mugged three times in his life. Each time was when he was walking to school in NYC, each time was with a deadly weapon, and each time there was a chance he could have died. I've never heard of a single person being mugged driving to school.

I'm not saying this is the primary reason to have cars and live in the suburbs, but not being forced to share space with every random person in your vicinity is no small thing.
That’s tough, I hope you push through and brighter things come your way.
