I would love to have a searchable personal web archiving solution that works across devices. Something like https://github.com/i5ik/Diskernet or Webmemex but not implemented as a browser plugin but as a VPN with a self signed SSL certificate that I can configure on my mobile devices as well as on the Desktop. Personally I would only use this as a self-hosted solution because the security implications of MITM myself through a tunnel controlled by a third party are rather significant.
I had a working prototype of this for a while and it was wonderful but debugging the edge cases took too much of my time as I’m not well versed with low-level networking. I would have loved to open source it but as it was started as a hacked together mess of configuration files that would have required me to rebuild it from scratch as a containerized solution. I have more time right now and if people round here would be interested in collaborating on a project that could give users autonomy over their digital history I’d be more than happy to have another go at it.
Yes. I'm stating with some surprise. Not complaining.
I think of the VW Bug / Beetle when I think of frunks, is it mainly a Tesla thing now?
If you are brave, and ready to be hurt, take advantage of the fact that you have not been fired yet. The contractor you're working with, where you feel you're not pulling your weight, ask them for a few minutes of their time and have a talk with them.
You could either start such a conversation by explaining that you don't feel you're being productive, and ask them how they feel about your performance and if they have any suggestions.
Or you could ask them straight out about their impression of your performance, and then maybe tell them how you feel about it yourself.

This is scary, because the worst case is that they agree with you, but if they do, well, then at least you know there's probably something about it, and maybe you have some more detailed feedback..

Better case, they tell you that they're satisfied with your performance.

I've had this talk a few times, with someone I trust, and it's hard, because you're being vulnerable.. and to be honest, they've still not convinced me that I'm not a net negative, but they keep me on the payroll..
> This is lower than countries in war; Korean men have to serve military for about 2 years in their 20s, and Korea is the least country pay respect to soldiers.

As a male South Korean citizen in my 40s, I always find it funny and sad that those young men, being dragged to the army for two years by the government, decide "This proves that all those feminists are up to no good! Why shouldn't the girls suffer in the army as well?"

The reality is neither extreme.

The reality is that psychology has been used, is being used, as a vehicle for racism rather than legitimate science. In lieu of real science, nothing at all is better.
There are ofcourse both filmmakers and films in the West that explore similar domains. And I generally love them (for the same reason I love Tarkovsky's work).

But when I check what audiences say about said work (and even well known art critics) in 99% of the cases I am left with the impression they live in an another planet. The analogies, metaphors and other symbolism fail to trigger recognition of the "multiple levels" involved and thus also to elicit the emotional response that follows from linking to our current realities.

It is almost as an old story appreciation ability has been lost...

Great project!
I am surprised to see the actual "telescope" being a metal pipe with a small funnel - there is no satelite-DISH-reciever-thing ! I have to dig deeper... one day...

Btw I was hesitating to fetch the pdf, because I had to allow javascript for both google and gstatic on my computer, which I normally would not do. Why is it, that following a link to a google drive file needs this local execution of code stuff instead of simply delivering the file? For public openly accessible stuff this feels very weird to me ( comparing to simple (s)ftp file fetching)
So, it seems like the answer here is, you open the hood exactly the same as you open the hood of any other vehicle, but with a plastic cover over the latch and some extra stickers and warnings?
General intelligence is a very mainstream concept. It’s not any specific measure of intelligence, but rather a meta observation on a conglomeration of tests.
Not to mention, even if the car was designed with a frunk, the high-voltage components would still have to be serviceable somewhere - so there would still be a panel/door somewhere on the vehicle with a "Don't Touch" sign on it.

Whether that's the hood of the car or somewhere else seems immaterial?
> If anything due to intermarriage they'd be more likely to have birth defects leading to low intelligence, I would imagine.

It's widely speculated that the demise of the Hapsburg empire was due to centuries of inbreeding eventually producing rather... simple monarchs.
Not sure why this is even an issue. The original matrix is a beautiful self contained and tightly directed movie. the sequels are a complete mess. it's obvious they were only made to cash in on the success of the original.
...and an endless lot of Rey-based Rule 34 material.

Good on ya to point out the silver lining.
If Netflix had everything it would have to cost far more, like $50-$100 per month.

Structural separation of production and distribution combined with compulsory licensing would probably be a better solution.
I am actually surprised there is a small (tiny?) but still surprising number of people that feel Japan is a real, direct, short-to-medium term military threat to Korea, as in the shooting war kind. This is a sentiment I see a lot in the Korea subreddit, but that might just be overly "nationalistic" "Koreaboos" - who may even be mostly Korean-Americans that have rarely set foot in Korea, or not even ethnically Korean.

The sentiment is not non-existent in Korea itself too though. In fact, in some discussions of recent military developments by the RoK (plans for a aircraft carrier, SLBMs, F-35 and/or KF-X fighters, etc.) it's often touted by these folks that they are just as meant to be pointed towards Japan as they are to North Korea or China.
Also the story is one thing but the painfully verbose explanation of each ingredient is ridiculous. I really don’t want or need an explanation of flour, sugar, salt, etc… That’s the content that really makes me annoyed at a blog recipe.

Like many others I have mostly abandoned blogs in favor of tried and true cookbooks.
Truly a nightmare situation.
High IQ seems to correlate with bipolar disorder, but that's about it. It's the only negative that correlates with intelligence I know about.

A year ago I had a coworker build a CRUD app with an API that required GET with a body. Something simple like:

GET /api/query
Host: example.org
Content-Type: application/json

{
"a": "valueWith$pecialChars",
"b": "valueWith$pecialChars",
"limit": 100
}

It worked fine for him because he used curl, which allows GET with a body. But I was using Paw (similar to Postman) which refused to send it. I mentioned the issue to him to which the reply was along the lines of "its a non issue, just use curl". I kid you not, 1 week after this coworker left for another job I fixed the service to accept POST requests.

If QUERY was around I'm sure I could've made a stronger case to fix it sooner.
I don't see the contradiction.

Tangent: aside from the vastly inferior action scenes and the unnecessary, if not severely distracting throwbacks / returning characters I thought the new film was decent. They didn't get it right, but it was much better than most franchise resurrection attempts.

The first act, I thought, was great. But I was disappointed when the writers showed their self awareness of missing the point when remaking a piece of art, and then... kind of did it anyway with the same level of depth for many scenes. I despised, in particular, how in the original films Neo's powers were just him being a god and understanding the world, but in the new one he kind of grunts and expels physical effort to do them like a typical superhero. That's just a different style altogether, and the original makes it abundantly clear that something like age shouldn't affect it. /rant.

"g", sometimes shown as "G", in the context of the study of intelligence typically refers to general intelligence or overall intelligence, in contrast to more specific types of intelligence such as EQ or mathematical ability.
It would confuse most viewers, so either it was a terrible choice to have similar stories about "sixth iteration", or it was originally one plot then changed to another.

I agree with the author that Cypher would have been a more nuanced character had he more justification for his doubt.
Declaring a name “offensive” to an entire race of people is a stereotype and also offensive.
The frunk in my Tesla Model 3 was too shallow to use to store anything (because the front motor was underneath) and the metal on the hood was so thin it felt like I was going to bend it every time I shut it. Pointless.
The consonants in English are clearly demarcated, but not the vowels, and especially not between dialects.

I don't think most of the other posters here are claiming a "ghostly b phoneme", but a subtle vowel shift of /ɛ/ (which yes, does alter the phonemic content). In some dialects it sounds like some are describing an internalized "schwa-ification" rule of one sort of the other with the "b" in debt seen as most likely preventing a schwa /ə/ (or nearly such) in their dialect. In general in English /ə/ is the most common actual vowel sound in the majority of dialects, so many dialectal differences are the various rules in which vowels "drop" to /ə/ or not. It wouldn't surprise me if some of these ghost letters are indeed just relics of schwa-ification rules (which would indicate that with a possible spelling reform you'd still want to accent the vowel somehow that it is likely prevented from schwa such as rewriting "debt" to "dét").

(Aside: From this distance, the presumed Middle Age scholars' appeal to Latin to explain some of these deeply internalized schwa rules seems silly, but probably isn't far off the mark from a language evolutionary standpoint, at least for Old French borrowings in the language.)
> More and more systems have ways to recover from a bad update, especially when the manufacturer offers OTA updates, but in the case like article where an the ECU is not designed to be updated by end-consumers, a bad flash/update can lead to the device being left useless.

and there is no way to obtain the original ROM? and flash it and everything is ok again?
The number is only five in both cases because only one plot was eventually used.

Had the Morpheus 5 been kept in, it would have been trivial to use a different number of cycles (7, 10, 400, whatever) and avoid the confusion.
I don't think it's a confusion on the author's side. It would be confusing and redundant to have 5 predecessors on two different levels in the movie. IMHO, they simply developed/morphed the ultimately unused predecessor idea from the first movie into a different variant in the second movie.
I have a few theories of my own but it is not the point. And if you are curious, I still think everyone should get vaccinated / boosted, but I am just a random guy in the internet.

You ask if the figures take into account the fact that many people are vaccinated and the answer is yes. Draw your own conclusions. Even if you are convinced of the vaccine benefits (which I am), you shouldn't be in denial when the numbers don't match your expectations. If you do, then your reasoning is no better than that of conspiracy theorists, climate change denialists and antivaxxers.

Unboosted vaccine efficiency is negative for omicron, that's what the numbers are saying. If it contradicts your theory, then your theory is wrong and you have to find a better one. It you want to think scientifically, you have to consider the idea that vaccines can be ineffective/harmful, even if, like me, you don't believe it, because it is the most "obvious" conclusion. And only after you have accepted that possibility, you can look for confounding variables, mistakes and other effects that can disprove this idea.
According to the article, the U.S. is one of the countries where IQ is NOT declining, but continues to increase. South Korea is another example.
I guess I can sort of agree with you. Although during that time was the height of GNOME2 and even today I find myself leaning towards Gnome2/MATE because it feels so much more stable than anything else(despite me always giving the main Ubuntu distro a chance every year as well because I feel it is the most looked at distro).

>Another evidence of the impact it had.

Well for me it wasn't Compiz that brought me into Linux, it was this idea of something different from WIndows but it may have had this impact for others. Compiz was a gimmick to me and after trying it once I put it aside to try and just make my regular Linux installs remain stable.
I think your advice holds for people who are well on their way into their careers, but even with someone with half the years of experience (i.e. 7-10 years) can be invaluable to someone starting out in the field.

I don't think I would've been able to right my career had I not had a dev with about ten years experience mentor me for a year. Granted, he might be an edge case since he learned teaching before becoming a programmer, but nonetheless his empathy and encouragement on top of some lived experiences was invaluable to me.
>> copyright was designed “for a limited time” that is why your copyright should expire.

> That’s just circular, not a reason.

Oh, sure -- but no more circular than:

>>> I was talking about within a society that already has copyright. Let me ask it another way: assuming that we have a copyright system, why should my copyrights ever expire?

...now is it? The obvious counter-question is, why should you have any copyright at all; why should we assume that we have a copyright system in the first place?

> The explanation & philosophy behind limited terms isn’t justified with “because it was designed with limited terms”

No, exactly. So, as the article says: Limited terms are a practical compromise between the per se equally unjustifiable extremes of "no copyright at all" and "eternal copyright". So what's the use of even asking for some principled a-priori-rationable reason in response to an article that explains why precisely that is not attainable?
Not to mention that there was originally an entire character named "Switch" who switched genders between matrix/real-world and didn't make it past The Hollywood People and that according to one of the Wachowskis it was really an allegory for transgenderism... Well here's one article about that (there's another on Vox I think):

Honestly though it would be ill-advised to try to think of the Matrix as A Great Revelatory Truth About Humankind's Place In the Universe and I hope folks are past that kind of quasi-religious thinking. It's an imperfect but thought-provoking series of fictional stories.
That is the law in the US too.

It's likely just a matter of persuasive messaging. They might not be able to void your warranty, but they might be able to lead you into thinking they can.

I'm not surprised. I've taken this road before during the 2017 Eclipse. Its a path that connects major parts of the country together, but there are no alternative roads to take if this one road closes.

Other locations have "Backup" highways to lighten the load or otherwise take up the slack if the main road closes. Not so here.

I've been told that Virginia once had plans to build additional highways / alternative roads in cases of these emergencies, where the main road gets closed off for some reason. To do this, Virginia was planning to sell some coast-space to oil rigs and fund the new infrastructure.

Alas: the Deepwater Horizon spill of 2010 killed that funding plan, and with it, the plans for new highways.

-----------

Instead, the state of Virginia focused on building additional lanes to the already existing highways. Which... doesn't help in these times of emergency, and still doesn't help in terms of day-to-day traffic either (most day-to-day traffic is bottlenecked at the offramps, where highways turn into traffic-light controlled, slower local roads).

You need additional highways (aka: additional offramps) to truly scale day-to-day traffic. And you also need "backup highways" to handle emergency situations, such as a jack-knifed semi-truck blocking all lanes due to some snow-accident.
Nice video series!

With some incredibly odd timing, I documented building a onewheel right before the commercial ones existed, for a 2014 writeup:

Honestly, WTF is wrong with these people? The touch bar is an unmitigated disaster, I have NEVER seen Apple backtrack harder than they did with that feature. I personally hate it because it is too easy to accidentally brush against the bar, especially when dealing with a key as important as ESC. Did they learn nothing from the example of Apple?
the other Neo-s Morpheus found were within his own timeline, it was his "purpose"

but there were other matrix before the matrix in the movie

the Merovingian and Persephone were The Architech's failed versions of Neo and Trinity from the machine world, they didn't work because they could never have human "love" (this is why Persephone is so utterly fascinated by it) it took the Oracle to realize this because the Architech could never understand

I still haven't seen the newest movie and was trying to stay spoiler free but the commercials kept popping up, I really, really dislike how "clean" the digital format looks compared to the original films and Neil Patrick Harris may be a great actor but he is completely anatopical to me in a matrix movie, should be "unknowns" to avoid distraction of the actor
Java EE and Spring Boot are two different things, so I'm a little confused about what you're getting at. Historically Java EE (eg, Enterprise Java Beans and all of their accoutrements) was considered very complex, and Spring was the "simpler, easier" alternative.

There's no question that as the scope of Spring grew things got somewhat more complex, but honestly, I still find Spring Boot and Spring based Java web apps fairly simple. You write Controllers and use a few annotations to define the context path, urls to individual endpoints, inputs/outputs of the various endpoints, etc. All those things have to be defined somewhere no matter what platform you use, no?

The only part I find maybe just a touch annoying is the Spring Data JPA stuff. It's not conceptually difficult, and truth be told the CrudRepository stuff makes it dead simple to make basic repository instances. But the configuration is just fiddly/tedious enough to be ever so slightly off-putting. But even on that, you can create a project once with all of that setup, save it off to the side as a template, and just copy that anytime you need it in the future (this is, in fact, exactly what I do).

I dunno... all in all, Spring Boot seems mostly fine to me. Grails is arguably a little bit simpler but that's still just Spring Boot with some syntactic sugar layered on top to handle the common cases.

> Someone needs the courage to make a motherboard and CPU with off the shelf parts and a socketed chip in the non-x86 space.

Honestly? If they want an easy win, that someone should be Intel or AMD.

They already design and release desktop and mobile chipsets with "platform specs" that are designed to be copied wholesale by all the major motherboard and PC vendors.

If Intel released a socketed ARM CPU with a chipset and a platform spec to go with it, you'd be able to buy a motherboard for it from ASUS or MSI for $150 within six months.
There we go, I stand corrected. I probably shouldn’t use it anymore.
That's nonsense, though, and assumes that the dangers posed by an electric car are roughly the same as by an ICE car. 400 or 800 volts is no joke, and nothing that you find under the hood of an ICE car is anywhere even close to being as dangerous as that.

I seem to recall from the time that the Wachowskis originally planned the Matrix storyline as a trilogy, but then they were forced into making a single movie, and so took all the fantastic parts of the whole trilogy and crammed it into one movie.

Then they had to turn it into a trilogy again, and, well, it's hard to unscramble an egg.
