Agreed 3-5 is plenty; one of the worst parts about these sorts of overly-onerous regulations is that the regulatory overhead and expense is per project and not per floor or per dwelling. This makes it all the more difficult for 'modest' or 'common-sense' upward development.

Despite the fact that Netflix is an entertainment company, it has lagged far behind many of the world's leading technology companies in terms of technological innovation. Netflix has had a significant impact on the technology world over the years with its single video-streaming application, world-class engineering efforts, culture, and product development.

DevOps is one such practise that Netflix exemplifies admirably. Their DevOps culture has allowed them to innovate more quickly, which has resulted in numerous business benefits. It also assisted them in achieving near-perfect uptime, delivering new features to users more quickly, and increasing their subscribers and streaming hours.
The answer is somewhere in the middle. If you aren’t the end user, asking them these questions doesn’t help. Simply because you aren’t the end user.

You thinking that you know what the end user wants is the same as the founder not talking to end users. In that case, you aren’t helping one bit.

It is the same as a bunch of founders sitting around judging each other’s product. How does that help?

These questions need to be asked by the end user. They are the people ultimately using the product. Only they can say whether it is something they want to use.
Thank you for posting this. It's history about my own country that I didn't know.
You can dig a hole of any size with a shovel, given enough time. But I wouldn't fault people who refuse to dig a large hole with a shovel after they've seen an excavator at work.
The underlying problem is that the “real” graph of relations exists in a high-dimensional space; ML “embeddings” tend to tease out the actual structure of this space.

Once you have a good high-dimensional representation, you can use something like t-SNE to reduce that to 2 (or 3) dimensions in a way that makes sense. But as you noted, if you use all the nodes, this dimensionality reduction loses quite a bit of information.

The solution is to have a way of interactively limiting the number of nodes in an exploratory way, and having a dynamically-applied t-SNE running on only that subset of nodes. If you set the iterative parameters right, you can get some really fun interactive physics-like visualizations where nodes attract and repulse each other in intuitive ways. (“This thing is like this other thing in one dimension, but also not like it in another dimension” kind of stuff.)

Heh, maybe, at least at default settings I find the more advanced systems tend to be overly conservative, so in slippery conditions they reduce power, slip, repeat... till you are at a crawl.

The subaru on the hand just shrugs, slips a bit, but does what it's asked.

The M3P for instance isn't particularly good at donuts, even in track mode, at least with the settings I tried. I've definitely been in scary situations where not being able to slip would have meant getting stuck. In my m3p I've even gotten stuck trying to get into my driveway, even with "slip start" mode enabled. Had to get a running start just to get over the curb of my almost flat driveway that my subaru (either the forester or wrx) would have just slipped a bit and gotten up.
I'm not a fan of the "deny them health insurance" clause. What's next, would you deny someone health insurance because they swam in a river occasionally, drove a car every day, or did any other dangerous thing?
Interesting, you're right. However does that not present a backdoor by setting up a local time server to proxy changes? It's a hack but ... a solution.
I like that this is such a wholesome topic we can safely debate on the internet.
There are clearly good arguments for and against the change to permanent DST, so I will safely ignore anyone presenting statements of the "You must be an idiot if you think..." form.

There's no disinformation campaigns to worry about, nobody getting 'cancelled' for their poor arguments on the topic, no fraudulent studies being passed around. At least, for the time being...
Not surprising. As the total volume of recorded music continuously grows, new music will make up a smaller and smaller fraction.

>Publicizing problems with it doesn't help anyone.

This is a joke, right? The general public is forced to participate in Tesla's FSD beta program by virtue of sharing the roads with them - Tesla drivers have to sign waivers, consent forms and have to be approved in order to participate, while the rest of us have no say in the fact that our lives are at risk. Yes, we risk our lives on the road with other drivers, but we understand other drivers (to a point, obviously); we don't understand autonomous vehicles, their capabilities or their faults as good as we do other people.

So with that in mind, it helps the general public to be aware of the risks and to understand what these vehicles are/aren't capable of.
You're totally right - I came back to delete or amend this yesterday but the previous commentator had already replied to I figured I should leave it. My apologies :)

It's critical to understand that the Metaverse isn't a game, a piece of hardware, or an online experience. This is equivalent to claiming that World of Warcraft, the iPhone, or Google is the Internet. They are digital worlds, devices, services, and websites, among other things. The Internet is a vast network of protocols, technology, tubes, and languages, as well as access devices and content and communication experiences built on top of them. Metaverse will be as well.
Split the difference: shift by half an hour and stay there all year
I guess I'm naively assuming that there is some sort of patient management software which keeps track of what needs to happen when for whom, to enable things like shift changes without losing information. But I definitely don't have any idea how this part of the medical world actually functions.
I'm sure he broke several contractual obligations by doing that. I mean I wish he could do stuff like that, but when you sign a contract you sign a contract.
I have to share the road with people in the FSD beta program, and I never signed an NDA for the FSD beta program, so I think I should be able to hear people recount their driving experiences on public roads with me.

As someone who was once a producer on a movie, the movie was cut with an awesome soundtrack, but when the movie was sold the buyers realized they couldn't afford to distribute it because the soundtrack was too awesomely expensive and so all the music got replaced with lame shit. I wonder how often music is downgraded in movies because a good royalty deal can't be negotiated for certain tracks?
Simplicity. Full Unicode support is horridly complex.
JamesNK also answered this. We started off with just nuget packages, it was beautiful for about 5 minutes until we ended up with ~300 in the default project. Then physics kicked in, slower build times, slower compilation times, slower intellisense. All of those old O(N/N^2) algorithms started to show up on profiles and we had to do something about it. That was just the practical performance side of things, then there was the customer confusion around which packages had which APIs. We offered a .NET buffet that customers hated. On top of that, the versioning got nuts. Each of those packages could in theory version independently, who is going to test all of those combinations of things? What happens when you need tot publish ~300 + packages to your server deployment because you didn't want to "install the framework"? You'd be complaining that they were too many assemblies (which people did). Amplify that by deploying these binaries to the same physical machine when running multiple .NET Core applications there (very popular for IIS setups). We pre-JIT (ready to run) the core libraries and ASP.NET to improve startup time, that makes the assemblies bigger (as they contain both native code and IL), this makes your applications bigger by default.

We got LOTS of feedback that this was all really terrible and we listened.

We did this from .NET Core's inception to .NET Core 3.0 when we pulled the plug. We set things up so that the base install/platform/framework was not composed of packages but framework references. We merged several assemblies together to get rid of some of the unnecessary layering. We invented shared frameworks so that people could install the framework once and run lots of applications using shared libraries so that:

- Customers have faster publish times as you only need to deploy your application bits, the framework can be pre-installed
- Loading the same dll on disk into multiple processes allows for more virtual memory sharing (a handy performance optimization)
- We could version the set (.NET, ASP.NET Core) as a coherent unit
- We could pre-JIT (R2R) the built in stuff so it's installed on the machine once and usable by many apps.

As for being intuitive, the default experience is to use the Web SDK. I didn't even get into SDKs but it does more than default the framework reference. It also exposes capabilities that tooling use to light up behaviors in the build and in the IDE.

PS: This stuff is harder than it looks on the surface and we spend lots of time and take lots of care designing it (making the typical tradeoffs you make when doing software engineering).
> Or should we just wake up our young children well before dawn and drag them off?

This is the norm for much of America, and has been for a long time (and will continue to be if we move away from changing clocks). If you want to play the "think of the children" card let's talk about moving their school start times later regardless of DST. 8:30 would be a great start, 9:30 would be phenomenal!
It's an "internal beta" on public roads*. People should be allowed to share information about the vehicles they're driving that could have an effect on safety.

* I assume so, based on the first paragraph of the article: "showing how the company’s Full Self Driving Beta system worked in different locations around Silicon Valley"
I agree, I always use it now when I have to code in Python. I find the completions easy to ignore and easy to accept. For something, like generating code with embedded SQL or SPARQL queries, I pause and test the queries independently.

Overall, a tremendous time saver.
Lol, timezones are made up in the first place. The way we count time is made up. It's just an abstraction layer for coordination with other people.

I'd prefer we did away with timezones all together and just globally switched to utc. The primary function of time is for communication and that would be easier after a transition period.

It's not going to change what the sun does.

I would like an RDP server for Debian / Linux. I currently use NoMachine as an adequate replacement, and to be honest it enables me to do the limited amount I need to do with minimal "getting in the way" and I've been using it satisfactorily for a few years. But it's just not the same smooth experience that I remember from using RDP; feeling like you're actually sitting at the machine (pending network bandwidth and conditions).

NoMachine is brilliant, however, given how much I paid for it. The "Enterprise client" is a free and no-install-necessary executable client, which I've found useful for allowing remote administration from a machine on which I don't have admin / install privileges.
To be clear, I think educators should and do serve a much more important role in society than mere babysitters. My choice of words was because so many people are raising the issue of “what about parents with rigid work schedules” as if school only exists so parents can work.
I had it in my head somehow that the only version of the FSD out was the beta, didn’t realize the beta was a layer on top of the paid FSD package. Cutting off beta access seems reasonable here if the paid FSD package wasn’t rescinded.
On openSUSE Tumbleweed, Wayland now works with the package `freerdp-wayland`, but integration is not complete (some resolution scaling doesn't work, the viewer window doesn't dock in KRDC like it does with X11).
I believe the steps said to toss the same coin twice.
That would arguably be an improvement. :)
I enjoyed your post and it resonated with me. Dumping cheap skepticism on a someone who is working hard to do something new is something I wish people would be more thoughtful about. It’s almost a reflex, but is it actually helpful?

The responses on this thread are kind of discouraging and missing nuance. It’s turned into “should you tell the hard truth or pretend the world is a fairy tale” (a false dichotomy) when it’s more like “don’t be a jerk in this moment”.

It apparently didn't work very well, because they had to release a major update to make it trigger for the most cases...
One time I hit this issue was in calculating future time. When the future time does not exist (cause it was skipped), it caused app to fail and require manual cleaning of data.
I think we should abandon any semblance of practicality and go for the elegance of some sort of continuously variable time system where it’s always noon exactly when the sun is at in zenith everyday and at every spot on Earth. It would be a great excuse for never being on time to anything.
You have to have paid for FSD to be in the beta for FSD. I feel you could probably make a case that you paid to be in the beta.
Go is used a lot for systems programming where you do see those problems.

Are you sure? I heard the opposite - it was only the app/internet version and the keyfob continued to work.
"Meeting at X" means exactly what it always meant. The only difference made by removing timezones is that you don't need to adjust the time for remote dial-ins. 2PM becomes 2PM everywhere.
Most of us don't have Lears to test that hypothesis out.

By some coincidence, I was reading some web pages of the TZ database, and your comment reminded me of this:

> If your government plans to change its time zone boundaries or daylight saving rules, inform tz@iana.org well in advance, as this will coordinate updates to many cell phones, computers, and other devices around the world. The change should be officially announced at least a year before it affects how clocks operate; otherwise, there is a good chance that some clocks will operate incorrectly after the change, due to delays in propagating updates to software and data.

Symbolic links can be a pain in the ass, but they're comprehensible and serve a purpose. Most importantly, they're pretty opt-in. Now maybe that means you opted in because you're using a piece of software like NixOS that can't work without them, but they don't infect everything and spread like Kudzu.

The `glibc` people won't even make it work properly without being an `.so`. I appreciate that the GCC people are desperately trying to hold on to relevance in the face of a much better toolchain, but at what point does the FSF die a hero or live long enough to become the villain it was trying to conquer?

Jeremy is a bright guy and I have huge respect for him. And I know the `cat-v` folks troll a bit much, but there is some real substance to linked set of arguments [0]. And it very much ties out with my experience.

In the glory days at FB we statically linked everything, and it was amazing. I don't know this firsthand but I've heard it secondhand, and given that we plagiarized basically everything else from Google in those days, I tend to believe the claims that Google did the same.

NoMachine has been the nicest option I've found. I've previously tried x2go and xrdp, and whilst they worked, I kept looking for something better until I found NoMachine.
Summarized:

- OP was dishonest by listing only a few countries that haven't signed on

- OP argument was "everyone else is doing it", which is not very convincing

- My argument is the ICC is no different than the UN or other international bodies, their authority comes from the most powerful members, so you can guarantee the most powerful members won't play nice when they're in the crosshairs (as evidenced by the current countries' citizens being prosecuted are all minor powers)
If you care about ergonomics you wouldn’t use a laptop, let alone a slab PC.
Also there was the Cell processor used in the PlayStation 3. It was a kind of small CPU cluster on a chip, very different architecturally from GPUs.

Cell was originally supposed to act as both the CPU and GPU on the PS3, but that plan didn’t pan out in the actual hardware and Sony scrambled to include an Nvidia GPU.
Heard the Kreepa track 1000 times and didn't realize it was sampled. Amazingly one of the Shangri-Las is still recording recently. I wonder what they make of what's happened to their song? Unbelievable. No possible way to predict that over 50 years after they recorded that track it would be cut and remixed into a catchy 30 second chunk of rap and played billions of times to weird videos that people spend a dozen hours a day watching on their handheld gawk machines.

That wasn't much of a weapon. Weapons-grade nerve agents should be able to kill hundreds of victims in the area, very fast and efficient. How many died or were affected? How many went into the area while being unprotected?

The Tibetans deserve a government that represents them, but not the Dalai Lama led one (although I don't agree with a principle of "every ethnic group governs themselves" or something like that. I don't think it is wrong or colonialist to be part of a supranational, pluralistic state - but China is obviously authoritarian).

These aren't "ancient Tibetans"... this is quite literally the Tibetian government directly prior to the Chinese takeover, ie. within current people's lifetime. There are direct, credible witnesses to what Tibet under the current Dalai Lama's government was like. The current Dalai Lama was picked by people who tortured their citizens and gouged out their eyes for trying to organize away from serfdom. The current Dalai Lama oversaw a feudal system where these sorts of punishments continued to be carried out.

Tashi Tsering's autobiography details the extensive whippings and sexual assault he experienced working in the current Dalai Lama's dance troupe, prior to the Chinese takeover.

This is not "ancient" history.
still, thanks for supporting sixels :)
You're probably right - I was basing it on King's praise for Darabont's work.
Yeah this happened with Daria. MTV had the broadcast rights to a whole bunch of music, and was able to use it all throughout the run of Daria, but when they released the VHS tapes of the movies and the DVDs of the series, all the licensed music was replaced with similar but legally distinct music, which really makes the show feel weird. This version was used for the streaming release as well.

There was a small movement a few years back that digitally removed the royalty free music and re-added the original music, but that means that depending on how loud the royalty free music was, the audio quality of the characters' dialogue can get really bad. I still liked it better than the royalty free version though, because Daria really is a time capsule into the late 90s and without the original music it loses a lot of that power.

As far as I've been able to find, there's no way to watch the original episodes. If anyone happened to tape every episode, they didn't upload them anywhere. I'd kill for an official release with the original audio.
That's an implementation detail. Having servers automatically provisioned for you is more convenient for users.
