Chomsky is a demagogue, he has a particular worldview he wants to push and any discussion of history is secondary to that. If some historical facts support his narrative he'll happily report them, but if not he freely misstates, mischaracterizes, and selectively reports. In particular he has one (IMHO unforgivable for any serious author) habit of citing a source but stating the opposite of what the actual source says.

He has received wide criticism for his denial and excusing of multiple genocides when the aggressors were from regimes he ideologically agreed with (socialist/communist), but repeatedly refused in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary to retract his previous statements.
You could imagine some GitHub Copilot like model that is trained on available music then uses a language like Melrose to predict music. That way the model sends notation to a synthesizer instead of directly creating a waveform. It would prevent the odd artifacts currently present in GAN music.
She's not "struggling" with anything. She shared her take publicly.

Where do you get the "struggling" part from?
you have to register yourself at the finanzamt and ensure that you qualify as free, which is doing system IT Services, certainly not application iT services. because then you have to register as Gewerbe, and then you have to pay them the russian rates, about 30% or so. for this rate they will protect you. something like that.

TK is fine, I used them.
I know there already exists quiet a few different tools like these, but most of them were not open source, and, even more importantly, there was no option for end-to-end encryption for any sensitive terminal outputs.
Also, since my code is all open source, you can just use my docker files and host it locally in your network as well :)
I recommend starting with Stormlight, but if you want to fully understand it, you should probably read the first Mistborn book before Rhythm of War and Warbreaker before Oathbringer (Warbreaker is probably my second-favourite Sanderson book, due to its "wholesomeness"). You should also read the novellas as you get through Stormlight, but I believe Dawnshard has far more more plot significance than Edgedancer. Mistborn is pretty good, but it's not as meaningful or deep as Stormlight.
The common purpose is that we're about to ruin the planet's climate if we don't allow more people to voluntarily live in cities and live less car-dependent lifestyles but still we prohibit apartment buildings in many urban neighborhoods and can't build transit projects anymore.

I’m against excessive engine idling as much as anyone but when I read about Amazon drivers being guilty of this it did make me stop. We already know they have insane targets each day and drivers are pushed to the limit enough that they piss in bottles. I imagine leaving the engine idling is a rational choice they’re making to be able to drive away quicker once that delivery is done. Yes it’s awful but they’re just responding to the incentives given.
If you want a real project then you need those

If you just want to share code, that's fine as well, but that's not an OSS project (sure, it can be an open source "project" - but not a project that grows)
Seems like you just discovered doing micromanagement of people's time, and that you love practicing it.
Yes, Borland was always Turbo Pascal first (then C++), the same was with OWL, VCL and now FireMonkey.

The difference being that with Delphi/C++ Builder that made C++ extensions to interop with Delphi's object model, as such it is even the same code and no longer a port like in TV and OWL predecessors.
I'll check out those threads, thanks!
By taking on a vendor's tool, I would argue you trade off ease for understanding.

If you truly need to shard, it's best to move deliberately and potentially roll your own at the application level. Your understanding of the infrastructure is far more important than sharding for the sake of sharding.
I wish there was a similar system in London for cars parked in cycle lanes.

Ths city's boroughs spent millions of pounds marking and building cycle lanes which are useless if there's no penalty for using them as a disruptive free parking spot. Having similar detection and penalties to cars parked in the middle of a road would improve traffic flow.
If I had to guess, it's because the physics model that these creatures are being tested against is really simple, and the physics model in your garden is really complex. Also, for this particular application, we shouldn't ignore the fact that wheels are cheaper.
For me, early Hangouts would frequently get stuck in one of a variety of broken states which made it apparent that a “meeting” (the eponymous hangout) was a separate thing in the system with its own identity rather than just a tuple of participants, even for two-party calls. That doesn’t excuse the UI changes (which I guess were done to differentiate the now-business-oriented Hangouts^WMeet from the new, consumer-oriented Duo?..), but the underlying machinery seems to have worked this way from the very beginning.
Are you in the UK or somewhere that has just swapped to the new E10 formula for Unleaded Petrol (10% Ethanol, the old was 5%)?

I have heard various anecdotal stories of people seeing a drop in MPG, although I would only expect it to be about 3-5% as that’s how much less energy there is in the fuel.

Some older cars aren’t fully compatible with E10, maybe that could be the problem?
Can you imagine a city manager asking for more horse friendly roads in your city?

Perhaps you just have very limited experience, or don't travel, or something, but in the last two major cities (1.5m+) I've lived in, yes, I can imagine that. And in the previous one, horse trials were being added all the time.

We build municipal skateboarding facilities all the time, and in the U.S., only 2% of people are into that. Ditto for frisbee golf, which is only 0.33% of Americans.

More to the point — What you describe is just an excuse for the whole "why bother" laziness and race to the bottom that's gotten the internet into the mess it's in today. "Good enough" almost never is.
Thanks, I bought the book now.
It's my favorite and default diff viewer.

I remember at one point there was a new version (based on gtk3 perhaps) that didn't work as well (useless type of scrollbars and slow) and I did some shenanigans to have an older version again on archlinux. However now even fresh installs do look and work good, I'm not sure what happened to that new version, maybe they improved the gtk3 based one to be as good as the one before it and I don't notice the difference anymore...
Loading zones would likely eliminate some free street parking and thus no one will do anything about it. Street parking is literally the third rail of NYC politics.

Walk down any street in Greenwich Village and you'll see a plethora of $100k+ cars. We continue to subsidize parking for literal millionaires because Dave in Crown Heights is afraid if we get rid of street parking in Greenwich Village they're going to come for his parking space next and he can't afford paid parking. Why does Dave need a car at all living in Brooklyn? Good question...

So we have people who park in the same place without moving for 11 years [1].

People want all the rewards with none of the risk. But what’s funny is they are still taking the risk of failure. It’s more that they can fail and shift all blame away by saying “we did it all right, it just didn’t work”. It’s easier than doing the work themselves.

I just think we would all be better off if we told people it’s OK to try and fail, as long as we learn from those failures. We need to support people trying new things. If we just follow prevailing wisdom, we can only tackle problems that are already solved.
I know a lot of large Patreons exist without any benefits at all, or with the benefits being a 20 word update every month.
IMO I'd prefer voicing a specific complaint than simply switch and let the developers wonder why I stopped using their product.
That would pivot a lot of those merch and drop-shipping hawkers on YouTube to “here’s how to make your own FOSS library and collect your friends’ €100!”

We’d get a lot more of “things that qualify for the €100”, but it’s not clear that we’d get a lot more useful FOSS.
Have you been getting good customer service since they switched to dehumanized, automated systems?
Thanks for the suggestions! I'll definitely look into them (especially A Song of Ice and Fire since I've received many suggestions for it from people who've seen me reading the Stormlight Archive). Never heard of the Arcane Ascension, but I'll look into it.

While not completed, I've also read the Gentleman Bastard series and the Kingkiller Chronicle which were also suggested to me since I read Stormlight and I really enjoyed them as well (although, well, not as much as the Stormlight Archive).
Just gotta pony up the appletax to play with the facetime.
agreed

Quite shady that one of best funded OSS projects come public asking for more money, but when the community start questioning the expenses/the specific contribution from a certain member there's only silence

(I haven't seen any response regarding their post in May last year asking for money)

The project is big enough that it should be a _lot_ more transparent :)
>no one will trade with you.

Okay, India and China, who make up 50% of the worlds industrial capacity seem willing to trade, as do Iran and Saudi Arabia, who, combined with Russia make up the majority of the worlds oil supply. Combine that with Brazil and Turkey, what do you have? The majority of the world.

Let me repeat that, the majority of the world, by every meaningful metric, in every meaningful sense, population, GDP, natural resource production, industrial capacity, etc. is willing to trade with Russia. And it is but a (large) minority who is not, namely the countries in the American Empires grasp.

Now I am a good American patriot and support the American Empire, but we must be reasonable, rational people and cannot deny reality, that reality being that with India and Russia now trading in oil without the dollar involved, and Saudi Arabia and China willing to do the same, there is a very good chance America has lost the leverage and stability of its currency, as well as a major source of influence over the world. We most likely do not have the military capacity to overthrow the countries no longer willing to use the dollar, and if the value of the dollar is no longer indirectly tied to oil, the consuming power of the American market is likely to be diminished precariously, and so the leverage of access to the American consumer market is also gone and with that our other major source of leverage on the world stage.

The act of seizing Russian funds has brought about, not Russian insolvency, but American irrelevancy. And it is entirely the fault of the same generation of leaders who have been in place since the cultural revolution of the American 60’s.

Nah labels are based on how you want others to behave not how you behave yourself
I'd imagine the scammers would just pay some homeless guy or illegal immigrant to actually steal the gas rather than doing it themselves. Same as money mules.
survivorship bias, in New York only the people who are rich enough to avoid all these rules or the ones who will bend over and take it are left. We literally just had a president who bribed the NYPD to get his concealed carry license.
Doesn't fit the data - if he's already been sleeping, his bed will be warm, and he wouldn't have the incentive to get up and change beds.
Driving is a privilege in the sense that is isn't a right and can be suspended [1]. Also, NYC public system will take you almost everywhere.

It's not open source, and comes with all the baggage of perforce, but p4merge and p4diff are just excellent tools that I install on every machine I work on.
Do one for when people double-park in main arteries during rush hour. I don't even need a cut, I'll be a willing narc.
There is nothing wrong with a comfort zone, life is too short really to spend long periods of time in brutal discomfort. Some people ruin their lives this way to the point where it will be impossible to ever be comfortable again before they die.
As someone who has one, only minor traffic violations. And only in certain places (cops not in the northeast generally are not unionized and dont honor them. ) It's not a get out of jail free card like it's being described.
If you could share more info I can look into it. It might be a discrepancy between the OpenStreetMap data and the map I show. Hard to say.
Regular base instructions are always 32-bit, compressed are always 16-bit, and they're always aligned. I don't think there's a problem decoding them in parallel. You always know where the opcodes will be located in a 32-bit word - or set of 32-bit words - you're trying to decode.

What I've been wondering is how difficult it is to fuse instructions when the compressed instructions you're trying to fuse isn't aligned to a 32-bit word.
If you are an Amazon driver and everyone else keeps engine running, then your results will always be below your peers unless you break the rules.

If the city cracks down in idling then either Amazon will relax the targets or nobody will fulfill them.
I would highly recommend it. If you wanna go systemically, look up guides on how to go about Cosmere. Or you could start anywhere. Stromlight is definitely,imo,his best work.
>We're lucky enough that we can afford to rent an apartment for my in-laws and that they are retired so they can take care of our son. Putting him in to kindergarten at this age would be traumatic to him and to us (parents) -

So you agree that having someone extra to watch over your kids is something that's needed? For most people, that is kindergarten.

>he's only starting to figure things out and abandoning him to a stranger who have to split their time/attention between 10 other children at this stage seems cruel.

Almost every kid does this. I have, so have all other kids. It's really not that bad, your kid needs to learn to socialize eventually. It's a bit insulting to call it 'cruel' to bring your kid to kindergarten.

>Not to mention kindergartens are disease incubators and we would probably spend first few months getting him adjusted and treating him at home while he's sick (+ catching stuff from him).

Yes, that's how the human immune system is supposed to work.
I was 100% certain that was going to be a zefrank video.
I don't think the answer is nearly as simple as "Because Colonialism!", but if it is not discussed at all, then you have to wonder if they don't have the exact same issue you are claiming they are avoiding, but only from the opposite side.

Europe is not the only continent to have been extremely wealthy, and to claim that they did not extract significant wealth from other countries via outright force as well as projection of power, then you are performing quite a lot of revisions on history.

You'll note that I am not claiming that Europe is the only culture to practice colonialism or that they are uniquely evil for doing so - war has been a universal constant in humanity no matter the geographic region. I don't think Europe is more immoral for doing it other countries than anyone doing the same to those in their own country. China has a long history of wars of secession and unification, and I doubt the fact that the people that started the wars were of what we would today call the same nationality was any comfort to those that had their lives ruined or family members killed.

But to ignore the fact that massive quantities of wealth were extracted by European colonialism is absurd. The Dutch East India Company would be worth nearly 8 trillion USD at today's rates. The British East India Company is a bit harder to figure accurately, due to how intertwined it was with the Crown, as well as how much of the earnings left the company nearly immediately for private coffers, and the outrageous level of expenditures during it's period of de facto government in British India. But it made up half of the world's trade for a period - and made quite a lot of Europeans very very rich. If this trade was fair, and not an extraction of wealth, you would have seen this create similar levels of benefits to both parties - but this is plainly not the case.

You simply can't ignore this when trying to answer the question the article claims to be tackling. It's not the sole answer - and there are certainly a multitude of questions around how it came to be that European countries were so brutally "effective" at colonizing - but even if you have decided you want to write an article that focuses on the other factors, it's the sort of thing you really should disclaim and provide at least a basic background on.

Not doing so provides a very flawed picture of the situation, regardless of whether it was done with the intent to create said picture.
I only recently used this for the first time and I must say: perfect for a quick file comparison. Don't know about other use cases. Nice to see it mentioned here.
Looks around. The more things change...
It's not either or. People who grow up in fundamentalist communities may have their own agency but still be tightly controlled.
I have had a Google Voice number since the service began and have never had them attempt to take a number away. I can't even remember the last time I logged into the Google Voice site. I use it purely for voicemails since it provides transcriptions of voicemails.

You have provided zero context as to why they took the number away and why they are coming after your personal google voice number. What did the warning emails give as the reason for reclaiming the number?

> I disagree. The current major environmental catastrophe is unfolding right before our eyes. But because there is a lag of years between cause (positive and negative) and effect, the United States has been an example of how to do absolutely nothing substantial.

Right. This is a major failure of US and British culture in particular: the failure to understand how to grasp future exponential disastrous consequences and the exponential impact of our small individual actions in combatting them.

At the beginning of the Covid pandemic I spent a lot of time trying to explain to people that "but it's been weeks and there's only been a few hundred cases" is not a sufficient guide to what is going to come or how to respond to it.

Trying to urge people that they should be more concerned when they have not been taught about things like survivorship bias, the small-world experiment, have never heard of grains of rice or wheat on a chessboard, and were so rushed through school biology that they've missed key demonstrations of exponential growth, etc., is very difficult.

It was not long before we had people and even politicians saying that people like us were over-blowing things when we worried about Y2K, not out of any wise retrospective assessment of real risk but because "after all that, nothing really bad happened". And that is before we in the UK get to the B word.

Basically people need to see real world consequences for themselves or for those they love before they are galvanised into action, and then they galvanise themselves into action in part by blaming those people who tried to warn them and were not listened to, for failing to act pre-emptively to save them.

Edit to add: I don't mean to say that other cultures don't fail at imagining consequences. And indeed in the Covid situation it might be that some of the cultures that did significantly better had more exposure to SARS or bird flu and learned from that. But there is a general lack of cultural understanding of the risks of severe outcomes in the UK and USA
This is a funny claim considering that Russia itself is culturally closer in many areas to France and Germany and not the rest of slavic East Europe.

Tolstoi and Chaikovskiy have very little to do with Eastern European/slavic culture and clearly embrace Western European tradition.
This is a disgrace. The Russian government is already blocking access to free independent media on their own. What Cloudflare services are now protecting are propoganda outlets, Russian financial institutions, and governmental organizations. And the argument that they've cut off paid access to their network is BS. More Russian sites are instituting Cloudflare protection by the day. This is not about protecting a "free open internet" it's about taking advantage of a situation to maximize profit while it's still legal. I am amazed services like this haven't been added to the list of sanctioned banned exports as it serves nothing but to assist the enemy. And Russia is undeniably an enemy of the United States. As an American company Cloudflare should be ashamed of themselves and their war profiteering while Ukrainian children are bombed into oblivion.
Towards the bottom of the thread there is a pretty reasonable summary.

Yes this is something I need to fix. I think you're right. I think it's measuring to the nearest node on the road (in the OpenStreetMap data) and not every point on the line as we see it. It could be related to the fact that some roads are actually broken up into multiple with the same name, not sure
Some of the richest countries in Europe never engaged in colonialism or slavery.
Like for which exactly?
I think I misinterpreted an invitation to a munk debate as being a dialogue with him, when in fact it was about him. However, his book Harmony is sitting in my pile, as I am very interested in his views on conservation, architecture, cities, and the environment.
As a police officer in the UK, you try and pull this shit here you're most definitely getting fined, and then we're going to have an unpleasant conversation about perverting the course of justice.
