I'm a dad of a 5yo girl in therapy since 2 years, both alone and with my soon to be my ex wife, a woman who grew up without a father and now thinks our girl doesn't need one either. I'm surely not a beta male. Not at all.
Almost all my friends have no children. My therapist has no children either (in Italy there's a big, big demographic crisis).
At work in Italy you don't talk about your personal problems, it sure hurts your career, empathy is not a desired human trait.
Your experience is yours only, I'm glad it has been positive, it's not the same for everyone. Every help that could help is ok.
I think the point is not to rely on a single device, but to use an ensemble of sensors that work together to remove single points of failure (single point of confusion?).
My three year old is all about Mom and screams at me to "go away" when she's around. Not all kids are the same and not all parents will have the same experience. This prick calling dads looking for support "beta male" is exactly why it can be a lonely experience as a struggling father.
"Bully for you" is an idiom that basically means "good for you" https://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/Bully+for+you!

> and leave blank what consent means

Actually, this is not left blank at all...

--------------------

Consent means offering individuals real choice and control. Genuine consent should put individuals in charge, build trust and engagement, and enhance your reputation.

Consent requires a positive opt-in. Don’t use pre-ticked boxes or any other method of default consent.

Keep your consent requests separate from other terms and conditions.

Be specific and ‘granular’ so that you get separate consent for separate things. Vague or blanket consent is not enough.

Be clear and concise.

Make it easy for people to withdraw consent and tell them how.

Avoid making consent to processing a precondition of a service.

Bully for you is just a figure of speech that means ‘good for you’ with a touch of irony. Got it from the Ron Swanson character in Parks and Rec.
Turn your (PDF,Image) documents into structured data
This has been exactly my experience too. It's easy to bring good programmers up to speed in Lisp. It's sometimes harder to bring existing Lisp programmers onto a team. Let me explain: Some Lisp programmers (not the majority, but some) learned it on their own and it became their personal hobby-project language because it's so powerful. When those programmers join a team they bring bad habits with them. Bad habits like using lists for every data structure, overusing reader macros, not using packages properly, writing their own functions for things covered by well-tested cross-platform quicklisp libraries, etc.

Programming in Lisp is very different than software engineering in Lisp. Of course that's true in any language, but Lisp has a lot more "shoot your team in the foot" possibilities than C, and you absolutely need to learn to avoid those patterns or formally communicate your use of them in order to make Lisp effective on a software engineering team. Rather than depending on the language itself to enforce good software engineering discipline, with Lisp you must create out-of-band agreements with your team about how to write good software. This is not a bad thing; it's something all SWE teams should do anyway. But Lisp is especially intolerant of neglecting this aspect of SWE.
I haven't yet added visualizations for all of them. I realized a lot of optimizations that could be made while working on this so I decided to hold off on that until I rebuild it for the new site (gonna be at votevote.page)

> how will the Council know if the end-tracking companies deleted their data?

There could be a tipoff, for example, from an employee. And if that whistleblower is right, then the company will suffer huge fines.

Or any other numerous ways that someone might be caught for a crime.. it lets go with whistleblower, as that is easy to understand.
> They? Do you not see how offensive that is to group together 1.7M people like that?

Unfortunately, The far right Israeli actually do think that way, here's a quote from the current ministry of Interior, Ayelet Shaked

> “This is not a war against terror, and not a war against extremists, and not even a war against the Palestinian Authority. The reality is that this is a war between two people. Who is the enemy? The Palestinian people. Why? Ask them, they started it.”

And another one:

> “Behind every terrorist stand dozens of men and women, without whom he could not engage in terrorism. They are all enemy combatants, and their blood shall be on all their heads. Now this also includes the mothers of the martyrs, who send them to hell with flowers and kisses. They should follow their sons, nothing would be more just. They should go, as should the physical homes in which they raised the snakes. Otherwise, more little snakes will be raised there.”

I still find original Alien movies as the most impressing movies on effect side.
Or old Star Wars movies.

Even the old Dunes movie managed to make one.

New CGI movies just feels so fake. Some feeling is totally missing.
If the government isn't going to do it, no one is going to do it, so you're complaining about a system (with good reason) that you're determined to preserve.
Thanks for that feedback. I’ve mentioned it to the recruiter.

If you have any questions about the process or roles, don’t hesitate to email me at Joshua dot chamberlain at my company’s domain.
Yes, this is how you increase prosperity (see: agricultural revolution, industrial revolution, etc). You can now create more with the same number of people.
Christopher Nolan (the director of Interstellar) has notably not jumped on the modern film making bandwagon. Nolan still shoots on film and eschews CGI whenever possible. The authors of this article might see Nolan as a lone wolf standing against the forces of CGI that have ruined film over the last few decades.
In what world is strength and loneliness opposites? Or strength and other negative feelings. People can be strong and sad lonely miserable at the same time.

I've used the internal watchdog without any issue. I mean the one you enable from systemd with RuntimeWatchdogSec=10 (where 10 iirc is a number less than 14 which is the number of seconds where the timer overflows). Not really much to configure or customize but it works reliably.
give Villeneuve’s Dune a chance if you haven’t already. I don’t agree with the post on this one, they went to great lenghts trying to make it feel real.
>Requiring multiple sensors means that all of your sensor systems need to notice a danger, and you need to be able to integrate that data properly, before you can react.

This isn't true. The principle in general is that you want to detect situations of danger, minimizing false positives and false negatives, with your pay off function probably valuing false negatives as much worse than false positives. With more sensors, the worst case scenario is that it doesn't improve the payoff function and you simply don't use the sensor information. But in the best case scenario the extra sensor can be used to massively increase your payoff - your camera gets confused by a shadow for example, but your radar doesn't detect shadows, so you can eliminate those false positives. Since the general principal to solve self-driving has been to train AI to process sensor input to make decisions, the worst case scenario is you end up with a neural net that literally just doesn't look at the other sensor data (assuming you're training your AI reasonably, if you aren't then maybe you shouldn't be working on an incredibly difficult problem with safety critical applications)

Tesla has essentially bet that they can get their optical systems so good that other sensors like Lidar do hit that situation where they offer nothing in terms of improving the pay off, but every piece of evidence we've seen so far has indicated that they haven't achieved that, and this is many years after Tesla had been confident that they would acheive it.
I would have guessed around the same chance, this was surprising to me after playing around with copilot and not being impressed at all.
> I'd claim that no other company is criticized as harshly as Mozilla around here. The amount of blame that is assigned to the Firefox team is staggering.

Mozilla has opened themselves up here, as they market as a privacy and user respecting alternative, so when they fail to live up to their own marketing people are more annoyed while they expect random startup #456 to not care about their users privacy and have telemetry out the wahoo.
Next they can train it on kaggle, and we'll start getting closer to the singularity
I wonder if the original protobuf authors realized what they were doing would be carved in stone & become by far the leading structured data interchange system. If they had any idea so many subsystems would grow up around it, that it would root an ever-expanding ecosystem of tools?
It's not my argument that cs 101 students can't write recursive resolvers. Everyone can, and more people should, just like more people should write emulators, compilers, database engines, TCP/IP stacks, ray tracers, and computer algebra systems. Not because writing them is a huge achievement for humanity, but because people writing them and then documenting the process is vitally important for demystifying these things, in an era where most programming is just piping data from one database to another and we've lost touch with so much basic computer science.

My argument is that DNS codecs are not the interesting or tricky part of writing recursive resolvers.

Having had the pleasure of writing a bunch of DNS codecs, I'm having trouble even conceptualizing what's interesting about writing one. I don't think most people look at DNS and think "I could do this, but for the difficulty of constructing an NS record".
Frantech/BuyVM offer this - https://frante.ch

They have Vegas, Miami, NY and Luxembourg and do BGP, Anycast, DDoS protection etc.
Supervisor mode is basically operating system configuration stuff (DNS, audio, etc.) telemetry for the dev team, and health checking: https://www.home-assistant.io/blog/2020/09/16/supervisor-joi.... (Unless I'm missing something?)

It seems fine that this isn't available in docker, since you can do all of this via docker and your host's configuration system. It would be nice to have a GUI for it, but if you need a GUI then you probably aren't running HA via docker, you used their image.
I'm a dad of twin girls too. The only advice you're going to need for the first two years is "don't worry, it does get easier". After that it becomes insanely fun and much easier than parenting just one as they have each other to keep amused.
That video is really cool, it's so impressive how the Elixir/Phoenix/Fly combination works together. Just for context could you give an idea of what that app would cost to run at the scale you're demoing there per month? I think it's 7 DB instances + 7 DB volumes + 5 app instances + 5 app volumes at the end of that video, but not sure what instance sizes etc. you're looking at for this.

Also totally random question - how come the flag for the chrismccord user is different for the two users at 9:25 https://youtu.be/JrqBudJd2YM?t=565? Is that just something in your app, or is there something in Fly reporting at a different granularity? I'm not familiar with the flag in the left window so might be missing something obvious!
I market tested many slogans and attributes for an product that never quite saw the light of day and "hybrid cloud" got the least positive response of any of them.
Strangely enough, I came here to look for Postman alternatives in the comments.

Not disappointed !
Fair enough. We try to offer a more relevant experience by reformatting the "blog posts" into more digestible chunks of content as decks of cards / guides. Forums: we're not even there yet, I wish.

We're working on new features that will make part of the experience more guided, and we'll focus on dads that want to work to improve their mental wellbeing and parenting. Sort of a guided micro journaling, with specific commitments around specific dad skills.

Heroku and Firebase used to be my go-tos for quick deployments - disappointing to see them fall so far after acquisitions…

I’ll check out fly.io - been meaning to amidst their top-notch blog posts.
I like is Apache JMeter, more for load testing but it can be used to get all the same information as all the other tools people are mentioning. https://jmeter.apache.org/
L2T | Software Engineer (Web)| Washington DC / Herndon VA | REMOTE, ONSITE

Layer 2 Technologies (L2T, for short) is a managed service provider focused on delivering custom software and networking solutions to our federal government customers.

We've seen steady growth within our customer portfolio and have reached a point where we need to hire both a mid-level and senior-level software engineer. Both roles will work on a suite of web-based products (Python+Django+Angular+Apache+Linux) with a team that has a strong Agile foundation.

The team is comprised of a software manager (player/coach), a tech lead, three additional software engineers, two testers, two devops engineers, and a product manager. I highlight this structure because it signals that our software engineers can remain focused on coding quality software.

For more information, feel free to contact me at recruiting@layer2-tech.com. You can also apply for either role here: https://careers-l2tllc.icims.com/jobs/search?ss=1&searchKeyw...
Ironically, nothing about GDPR itself is clear and understandable, as is evidenced by the fact that everyone keeps discovering years after implementation that some random country disagrees on their interpretation of it.
> So you want a regression, why exactly?

Yes, if you get market advantages from harming people, you will eventually be required to at a minimum give it up again.
I'm disagreeing with the assertion that Ada looks like COBOL. You may or may not agree with that statement, but you made it.

> This filtering process happens in the crudest possible way, based more on feelings and hearsay than on verified facts

And that's why people should stop making statements like:

>>> Ada, unfortunately, looks cobol-like, so someone who knows nothing automatically assumes a ton of bureaucracy. Run away if you want work done.

Without much stronger caveats to clarify that it is not a correct impression. Without a strong statement clarifying that it's only an impression (based on the most superficial of analyses) and not the reality, people will read comments like yours (and others in threads like this one) and never go any further to realize that they're false, and end up repeating them.

In an Ada thread just a few weeks back someone wrote COBOL-ish code claiming it was Ada code. It was a math-y example like the GCD code above, and clearly wouldn't work if you had even a passing familiarity with Ada. But it was written in such strong terms that it gave the impression the author was competent when they were really ignorant.

> If you look at rust, the work done by Mozilla and people like e.g. Steve Klabnik to put the language on the map is enourmously valuable. With code examples, blog post, fixing real world pain points, answering questions, .... It took years but they did it. If Ada had a group of people and a bigname organization, all doing this work, it would be a completely different story.

AdaCore has actually done a lot of the same.

I know what you mean. And I feel for you, as well as countless others who got f___ed over by the virus without even catching it.

Beyond those who died from it, Covid incurred a mental health debt our societies will pay off for years, probably decades, to come. Maybe decades. Suicide attempts among teenagers have doubled over the last 18-or-so months. And that's just the tip of the iceberg.

I've had to deal with my fair share of mental health issues, but I'm kind of a loner, so the Covid restrictions were not as hard on me as on others. But as a species, we're very social beings, and being disconnected from others is a recipe for a mental health disaster that - say, 10 to 20 years from now - might look even worse than the damage the virus itself did.

FWIW, my godmother holds a yearly Easter-brunch that she has cancelled two years in a row now and will probably cancel again, come Easter. I'm not a religious person, but that brunch has been a fixture in my year for as long as I can remember. I miss it dearly. Likewise, a close friend of my mother's holds a Christmas party every year, again, for as long as I can remember. Cancelled, two years in a row, and who knows if it will be cancelled this year.

It is important, I think, to acknowledge the pain this virus has caused on all of us, even if we got away.

And we - I mean human beings in general - need to make sense of things, at a very fundamental level. If we run out of sensible explanations for what's happening around us, we turn to the irrational.

On a more abstract level, I think living in a modern industrialized capitalist economy incurs a mental health cost we rarely acknowledge. And Covid has turned up the volume to the max. Unfortunately, when we, as a society, acknowledge this mental health cost, our response is to throw pills at it instead of dealing with the underlying pathology.

It feels like if we don't do anything about it, we'll run into a World-War-II-Holocaust-level disaster far sooner than anyone alive right now should be comfortable with. If I look back at history, though, this has happened before, repeatedly, and we failed to learn the lessons offered to us on a silver platter.

I wish I had something more hopeful to say. So let me say this: Nietzsche once said that we have art so we don't die from the truth. The more I think about this, the more I find this to be true. That's what art is for. Life can be a neverending horror show, but through art, we can transform that horror into beauty. Last but not least, it is a means for us to connect to our fellow human beings, even when the lockdown otherwise disconnects us from them.
I think you misunderstand.

Almost all law coming out of the EU is really beneficial for the people, in my experience. Making a law like the GDPR and implementing it is hard work that doesn't grab headlines and first gives us a few years of annoying popups, but in the end it will actually improve privacy for EU citizens.

And national politicians can't do this anymore, because they have to be in the news each day and be in constant campaign mode because the next election may come sooner than expected. They need big words and shiny results.

If we make the EU more democratic, will it become less effective too?
So excited for this release. In the wake of AI Dungeon's downfall, having GPT-Neo to fallback on has been a saving grace. While the 6B model is nowhere near as good as the original AI Dungeon, which used OpenAI's 175B model, it was at least serviceable unlike the "gentled" AI Dungeon. And you could run it locally or through Colab, which was really cool. I ended up using it through NovelAI, since they've spent a lot of time fine-tuning the model and adding a plethora of features that end up improving the overall output. (NovelAI's interface is like AI Dungeon on steroids!) But there is a vibrant community of Colab notebooks and other tools for DIYers surrounding the GPT-Neo model.

That said, besides being overall "dumber" than 175B GPT-3, the 6B model was missing a critical feature: prompting. 175B GPT-3 could be "prompted" to write things. For example, you could give it "Write a story about cyberpunk gnomes:" and it would go on to do just that, all on its own. GPT-Neo didn't really have that capability in my experience. The only way to get it to reliably write such a story is to begin writing it yourself, at which point GPT-Neo could help to continue the story.

So I'm excited to see not just how much "smarter" Eleuther's new 20B model is, but also if it has attained that coveted prompting ability. Given the non-linear relationship between parameters and loss, my hopes are high.

P.S. NovelAI recently added the Fairseq 13B model to their repertoire. I haven't had a chance to try it personally, but I've seen positive things about it. My bet is on GPT-NeoX-20B being better still.
That India banking regulation really threw a wrench in a lot of businesses. Our company had to do a mad scramble to support it, and what we came up with was a worse customer experience than before. It will take some time for us to make billing as easy to use as it was before the regulation kicked in.
I like the idea. Too bad it can't handle the load
What weird take. For one thing, maybe an alien world like Arrakis shouldn't look identical to the deserts on this world. For another, lots of movies pre CGI looked terrible, so the idea that the past was some kind of practical utopia is idiotic. People need to stop mistaking personal taste for objective fact.
Actually on the small downtown streets of my home city they allow parking too close to the intersection such that the view of my civic doesn't allow me to see particularly far down a relatively busy one way street. To compensate for this I roll down the window to listen for tire noise. Maybe not strictly necessary but I'm not sure its quite true to say that people drive by vision 100 percent of the time. Of course they could just add a fisheye mirror on each intersections street or roll back the parking but still. Another example that comes to mind is those old one lane tunnels where you have to stop at the edge and listen for a honk for a few seconds, honk and then go.
> Price discovery is broken when large market participants and market makers have access to mechanisms that enable unlimited shorting.

Actually, it's the other way round: you can only have accurate price discovery if people can take both long (buy) and short positions (short sell). If shorting is restricted, price discovery is much less likely, since only current owners of the shares can sell them. That's like only allowing current owners of the shares to buy more of them.
Then the result will be that those services simply stop serving EU customers.
Well, not the same thing but Java can hot-reload classes (to a degree depending on implementation). But what truly makes repl-driven development in lisps so good is the more functional approach to development. Hot reload gets better the smaller the replaceable units get. Lisps have it good with basically paren-level hot reload.
Thanks so much for your work. I am a father of two and also recently assumed the role of father figure to my 8 year old nephew. I’ll definitely be checking this out.
I wish these things were re-worded the other way. It's a sad state of affairs that a law has to be encoded to grant the people permission to do something that should be the default state. Right to repair is about targeting the manufacturers and preventing them from making it impossible to do so.
sci fi suffers a lot from this. Some scenes of Ad astra, The Martian, Interstellar or Gravity scream "I copy pasted the actor's head in a 3d scene", it just doesn't work at all for me, even on a technical level you feel something is off in the movements/lighting

I've recently watched prometheus right after watching the original Alien and it's just painful to watch
