I guess it depends on what you classify as “advancing your career”. If you’re a software engineer, building a side project from start to finish is valuable experience that translates. It’s especially valuable experience for devs with less work experience.

That said. I’ve learned that building out a product, even seemingly small things, takes a huge amount of effort as a solo dev. I built https://fretpro.app and it makes about $100/month (has been very slowly growing for the last year). I thought it would be quick and easy, but it took months of early mornings and weekend mornings (can’t code all night like I used to anymore), and can’t lie, my health and mental health suffered during that time. I’m much more selective with side projects these days.
Wait, did you order the code red?!
Uyghurs are the top ethnicity in Xinjiang and their population is increasing faster than any other, so I have no clue what you are going on about.
Sorry, I don't understand what you mean. It makes no difference to whom? It definitely makes a difference to someone writing that code, since that code is not patented.
I don't know if I'm "trapped" but switching between lines was trivial and the price differences being so marginal it didn't even matter. I don't care that I'm spending 30 yen (roughly $0.30) extra for a more direct route.
Several of these patent claims are for "an apparatus" because you're not allowed to patent ideas - but any realisation of the algorithm will necessarily be "an apparatus" so the effect is that in fact you can claim algorithms and that's exactly what this is doing.
That would depend on how exactly the mask orders are being disobeyed, wouldn't it?
You're right, see: Trucker convoy manifesto purporting to aim to overthrown the Canadian government.

China does have elections. What are you talking about?
I think the moment where she was capable of voicing what it was that she was doing was the moment where she should have known better. I'm still not sure if she just had a values difference from me or not, but with time to think about it, in retrospect I have higher standards now for this type of thing. But you're right that it does depend on whether or not language is just deployed in the heat of the moment or not. Even so, I think it betrays something deep seated when someone speaks falsehoods during an argument.
We cannot talk about Intel supporting arm without also mentioning how Intel sued Nvidia for merging arm and Intel into their motherboards. Arm was better at 1080p video in 2008 at low power. This made great fan less pcs. And something I was looking forward to for a while.
Not sure I see the problem you’re talking about.

The issue was using an unversioned URL, which is a user error and has nothing to do with unpkg (other than allowing it)
It's more complicated than that. A patent troll will hold a patent for X and then claim you are violating that patent. You, the holder of Y, can then say "well you're violating Y so fuck right off". Or maybe there's another patent that could potentially indicate prior art, but it isn't your patent. Or you're just a really small player with a few patents in your portfolio trying to defend against a troll.

Companies pool their patents together, promising not to sue each other over patents, in order to collectively defend themselves against trolls.

It depends quite a bit on what era of machines you want to emulate. Last year I upgraded the PC in my high-end custom MAME cabinet to one of these (https://support.hp.com/us-en/product/hp-prodesk-600-g1-small...) which I purchased on Ebay for around $100. I added a circa 2014-15 Radeon HD3850 I had laying around because it has native analog component output on a VGA connector to drive my 27 inch Wells-Gardner multi-scan arcade CRT (that analog authenticity is sweet perfection). Because that PC happens to be low-profile, I had to hack some metal out of the internal cage to get a full size graphics card to fit but there are tons of similar HP, Dell and Lenovo enterprise desktops being recycled on EBay so just find one that suits your budget and matches whatever stuff you already have sitting unused in your recycled PC parts bin (RAM, HD/SSD, GFX).

One of the bonus joys of emulation is achieving something so cool and crazy fun out of free (or dirt cheap) recycled and thrift-store grade parts. The PC I got on Ebay will emulate virtually any arcade machine of the 80s or 90s. It can also emulate 8 and 16 bit home consoles and even quite a bit of the PS1 and Gamecube libraries.

Our family and friends have so much fun with that MAME cabinet that, frankly, we'd pay for a new top-shelf PC for it but for the games we enjoy, there's no reason to pay for more expensive hardware. Also, be sure to hit the tip jar of whatever open source projects you use.

If you happen to have one, could you post a link?
That's one side.

The other side is that gains to the upside (private equity, other alternatives only available to accredited investors and QP's) aren't available to the masses, which further feeds the gap.

Didn't they change the rules so you don't need 200K salary / 1M in non-house assets to be an accredited investor, but you need to pass one of the financial services exams (Series 7, etc.)?
I really wish I could get an Apple-flavor Surface. I don't want to buy two devices that are basically identical inside when I just want a laptop with the occasional ability to use it as a tablet to read an article or write some notes.
I find the notion of electrophonic sounds associated with meteor disintegration fascinating. When I was twelve or so, a few of my friends and I stayed up and watched a meteor shower. (The Perseids, I believe?) I recall one particular meteor that broke up. It was bright, vibrant. And I recall a distinct whooshing, crackling sound, like a firework, and then a pop as the bolide exploded. On reflection, I knew logically that I couldn’t be hearing something so far away simultaneously with seeing it, but my two friends also heard it. Strange stuff.
>Many Indian people consider it immoral to eat a cow but that's moral in America.

Also a nod to the fact that stock isn’t moving as much and that working environment sucks so much
Yup, exactly. I always bring up Theranos as a success case for Silicon Valley VCs. At the surface level it should have been a slam dunk investment from day 1 – charismatic female founder, industry connections, lofty ideas, market buzz, potential revolutionary tech. Yet every single VC firm we know of passed on them. And outside investors who tried to take the short-cut to the valley got burned.
I'm not a lawyer, so I'm confused. If you patent a hardware implementation of a software algorithm, on the basis that the implementation is novel, how would you stop me from writing that algorithm irrespective of how it executes?
Happy to expand on it if you wish.

Having done computer architecture and bit twiddling x86 in the ye olden days, I immediately, independently converged on the patented solution (code / circuit / Verilog, more or less the same thing). It goes to show how broken the USPTO is because it's obvious to anyone in the field. Patents are supposed to be nonobvious. (35 USC 103)

Newsletters & ads typically link externally to images rather than embed. I would guesstimate less than 10-20% of my storage (not total number of emails) is newsletters.
I think it is people who use their laptop display exclusively (or nearly so). On small laptop displays tiling windows is nice and helps maximize the use of the display. I use the tiling features of mine WM a lot more when using my laptop display, but I still very much prefer 'floating' windows when using a large, external monitor.
> In the article there appears to be zero thought given to the concept that [...] there might be some fundamental issue with what you're asking them to do. [...] something else is going on here.

The simplest explanation is that there isn't a fundamental issue.

For civilians, you might claim that there is some sort of deep principle of freedom at stake, however ridiculous it might be given that those same people are all happy enough to comply with the laws most places have about covering up their naughty bits. But this is the military. They signed up for a job where many of their freedoms go out the window. This very clearly among them.

If you look at who's wearing masks and who isn't, [1] it's obvious that this is a political. And if you read the news, it has been deeply politicized. Soldiers refusing to wear masks is a political statement: they in practice view allegiance to party (and/or news channel) above allegiance to the chain of command.

The "something else" going on here is the same sort of propaganda-driven undermining of belief in rule of law that has been going on for years, and has resulted in the attempt to sack Congress and a majority of Republicans believing that the last presidential election wasn't legitimate. [2]

This is all pretty much in line with how democracies slide into autocracies. Given that the Trump administration considered using the military to seize voting machines in Dcember 2020, [3] people should be very nervous about signs that the military has become this deeply politicized.

Same, I hoped that it had some real time capabilities. I really wanted to have it tracking an object, heck I would settle for mapping a rotating display, but it turned out to be rather limited. I kind of liked my LF2 as an all-in-one unit though. I do realize that structured light has limitations too.

My biggest use case was that I wanted to render output in real-time which the software couldn’t allow me to do at the time
I suspect this is more of a pause until it blows over.
Khronkite is another "honorable mention" for KWin tiling and I prefer it over the one mentioned in TFA: https://github.com/esjeon/krohnkite

With KDE+X11 it's trivially easy to change the window manager away from KWin and still get the benefits of suspend/resume, multi-monitor auto-configuration, wifi, system tray, etc, by just setting the KDEWM environment variable in your profile. https://userbase.kde.org/Tutorials/Using_Other_Window_Manage...

But with things moving to Wayland, etc, this simple swap out method isn't possible right now, so I've been keeping tabs and playing with Khronkite and KWin-tiling every so often for when I inevitably swap over to Wayland. It's basically a perfectly serviceable tiling WM OS without having to deal with any of the screen locker, systray, R&R, that Sway et al force you to contend with yourself. Most of the setup is in unbinding system defaults + rebinding window management shortcuts in to better "places".

I still use KDEWM=/usr/bin/i3 equivalent for now.

> In general, mail providers do not "ingest" entire blocklists.

Completely false. They ingest lists[1] into their own local daemon. There is not a major mail provider on the planet who is querying a third party DNSBL every time an email comes in. It's also more than a little ridiculous that you admitted to not knowing if something were true, but then decided to confidently (and incorrectly) explain it anyway, rather than taking ten seconds to look it up.

> Actually, anyone can publish a list of anything; unless that publication amounts to a contract (statement of purpose, assertion of fitness for purpose), then I'm not aware of any international "law" that says you can't put anything you like in a publicly-acccessible list.

Both wrong and irrelevant. I explained how Comcast is responsible for maintaining their own blacklist, which is NOT public, and as an ISP they are absolutely under all sorts of legal regulations, in addition to having service agreements with end users and other network providers. Yet, you responded with a "point" about how UCEPROTECT (a completely different company) is allowed to post whatever they want in a text file. Do you seriously not see the disconnect between what people are actually saying and how you interpret them? Because it's beyond frustrating.

> Have you ever read a FOSS licence? UCEPROTECT are simply stating that as a free user, you can't hold them responsible for the accuracy of their lists

Entirely irrelevant. The UCEPROTECT disclaimer is not for the end user -- it's for the ISPs. If someone sues Comcast, they're not trying to hold UCEPROTECT responsible for creating a text file, they're trying to hold Comcast responsible for acting in bad faith by not allowing reasonable recourse for removal from Comcast's copy of the text file. So, the end user in this situation is not a "free user of UCEPROTECT," but instead a paid user of a network provider with a service agreement in place.

You don't need to wait according to the changes announced today.

Of course you only get that number if your new target compensation is in line with that number.

So other companies have locked you in to your performance at interview time, while Amazon can give you a 15% paycut each year if your performance isn't high enough to at your offer level.
Hiring a Blood Boy[1] on the free market for a fair price is pro-capitalist,and can't be evil, unlike vampires who take without paying the service provider, so to speak.

It makes me happy to know that there's a time for daily reverie in the US military. Everybody should be encouraged to get lost in a daydream regularly.
> We're already half-way there with WebComponents (though I'm not a fan of WebComponents as-is, but that's a tangent).

I think this is actually not a tangent at all, but rather, it’s kinda the whole point! I doubt we’ll ever get to a point where there’s a single standard, because a single standard can’t satisfy everyone.
Can you expand on your approach to pricing? $30k/year to only automate 10 separate tasks would be a non-starter for me. As a personal tool, the community version w/ 3 free is a nice way to demo things but too few stories to bother trying to run personal projects & conveniences on it.

My interpretation of your pricing is that you're positioning it towards businesses that only have a small number automation targets, but those targets might have a high level of complexity & are repeated very often. At least that's the main market target that makes sense to me given the pricing model.
I don’t agree with that. In my boot camp experience the fear from peers imposing physical or mental hurt was barely a factor for many of us. It was a matter of personal pride that made you want to spit shine boots and iron dress greens. We’d do it all together before lights out in preparation for the next day. It was a ritual during informal time to reflect on the day. Granted there’s the notion of a “blanket party” but that’s hardly the motivating factor and minimizes the personal drive to do well because you want to. It’s a volunteer military, not drafted by force and fear.

Someone that unconfident shouldn't be a pilot.

Besides, consider that overhead is a matrix of circuit breakers. Their purpose is so the pilot can individually shut down each system. They work just like the breakers in your house.

The stab trim, however, is so important the switch is right there on the console within quick & easy reach. It's still a breaker, though. It works by cutting off all power to the trim motors.

It's really not rocket science. It's a freakin' switch.
You're getting downvoted because you turned aggressive, but you're also not looking at this in quite the way that the legal system might.

When Lenovo sold a product that (presumably) depended on a service they had under contract (even if just a EULA) with Google, they made a promise of continued functionality to the user. Google changed the service, causing damages to the user, yes, but as Lenovo is the mediator of the exchange, the user sues Lenovo (for selling a device that stopped functioning) and then Lenovo sues Google (for the damages of them getting sued.
My friend seems to think you can get the same value in a Brazilian engineer for $120k/yr (or less) compared to a US engineer for $200k-$300k/yr+
Regarding your specific issue: You could get your daughter a VOIP number, which can run as an app on the iPad. VOIP numbers can process text messages too, which should enable Signal's confirmation message.
It's different because masks and vaccines to prevent Covid have become political. But they author is trying to remain nonpolitical, the way military people are supposed to behave in a democracy, and I think this is why he's waffling a bit.

Yes, a soldier is supposed to push back against an illegal order (say, to slaughter a bunch of civilians). But wearing a mask doesn't meet that standard. Neither does accepting a vaccine when the soldier already accepted many far more risky vaccines (like for anthrax) against much more unlikely risks (no one is attacking American troops or their allies with anthrax, but Covid is actively attacking).
Interesting....I'll have a close look at this, thank you. I didn't mean to imply drug repurposing was straightforward, certainly as you say this is very challenging. I guess my thinking was that there might be relatively lower hanging fruit here (if Pharma companies have very little incentive to exhaustively search for repurposing targets for off-patent meds, maybe only a non-profit would be willing to do this) than say de-novo development.
But it's not 0 cost. You need storage redundancy, backups, software updates. Those things cost time.
I clicked through to the tiling WM that he was using for KDE and one of the things under "Features" that got my attention was this:

> Support for setting windows to floating or quitting tiling altogether, per-desktop (Meta+Shift+F11) and per-window (Meta-f) (“Meta” refers to the “super” or “windows” key here)

I think this might be worth a try...
If i were in your shoes, I’d try to reach out to one of the groups researching long covid therapies. there is the beginnings of some research showing good results from existing drugs used for clotting disorders that may be easy for you to try under supervision. i’ll try to find some links when i’m back home later.

good luck, and i’m sorry for what you’re going through.
perhaps it's just ignorance? not to be insulting to the gp, just saying perhaps they didn't know.
We have a court system which adjudicates whether works are considered derivative under copyright law. If there are recognizable subsections of the originals in the generated images, good luck with that court case — and good luck convincing the court of public opinion that you aren't taking credit for somebody else's work.
I disagree. Not all the claims include the “single instruction cycle,” and IMO several of the claims are general enough that one could make a case that a sequence of instructions directing the operation of a general purpose data path would be covered by the claim. (Claim 3, for example).

this would require a lawsuit to find out, but this wording in the description suggests the authors’ intent with the claims was to patent this method of computing an average on any processor:

> A general purpose computer or processor with suitable circuitry can execute the invention in a single instruction cycle (as is preferred) or multiple instruction cycles.
What are people's "go to" stacks these days for quickly spinning up a decent CRUD app? Still some flavor of Express + Vue/React?
Radio stations in Canada already are required to have a portion of their content be "Canadian". And other than ads it is actually one benefit of getting away from listening to radio and switching to streaming services. You're able to go listen to what you want, not some forced content you hear all the time. Some stations who play things like the top hits will play Canadian songs quite a bit and it just gets boring.

I recall Netflix had a deal with the government where they commit xyz amount of money to producing content for their platform made in Canada. I have no problem with things like this as I have no obligation to watch that content. If that Canadian content happens to suck then I just won't watch it. But if Netflix instead had to artificially make me see this content more when I go to browse for a show that would be frustrating. Just like if Spotify had to have their curated playlists have xyz percentage of Canadian content. I don't want what I listen to being tailored based on first the country of origin and then second whether or not I will like the song.

I feel like these policies are happening because of pressure from big media companies in Canada. These companies are losing profit to American companies because now they are actually forced to compete and their average-to-meh tier content just isn't as passable anymore when people actually have options.
There's different categories of what you call "specialized" pieces though. Some only make sense in a specific set (e.g. a light saber piece in a Star Wars set), and some are completely generic but only exist in the sets that couldn't work without them.

It might be different now, but for a while you couldn't get the 4 ports Power Control Hub outside of 2 or 3 sets. You could buy weaker and bulkier hubs separately, but the specific smaller new generation hub only came in sets.

It's interesting listening to Lego designer interviews, when asked about future plans they'll often mention that some development is totally possible, they'll just have to wait for a set that makes use of it.
Popularity and quality don't have to be independent for this to be true—it's enough that they're not too heavily correlated, or at least not heavily correlated past some threshold. That does not seem dubious at all!
This seems fundamental, surprised elementary operations hasn't been made a part of every major language/framework.
The most likely issue is MacOs has scheduling issues.

In Go, it's pretty trivial to do an experiment where you load a bunch of stuff into memory and have a core per thread race through it, basically doing stream, and if you do this the UI will start stuttering prior to going completely non-responsive. Similarly, on the m1 macs, with nothing more than writes to an SMB mount, you can cause the entire system to wedge [this is trivial to reproduce using rclone against a SMB mount]. There's no reason these should ever happen.

What can I say, I was curious if the advertised crazy levels of M1 pro memory bandwidth were genuine or conflating the all-in system-wide not-actually-visible-to-cores bandwidth hypothetically available.
