Do they split the OBD signal behind the glovebox or the steering column? If so, then I imagine they're much harder to find. But if they do it on the actual OBD2 port, then I imagine they would be rather easy to spot?
That story/anecdote you made about South Africa is like 95% accurate, and I say that as someone actually living there (here?). Be careful that people aren't convincing you that your understanding is wrong because it's inconvenient or unpopular. South Africa is a great place overall, but it has it's downsides like some of what you mentioned. But that's no reason to discredit or make it so those downsides don't exist or that they're "not representative" of the country.

Edit. Went back to your comment. You said you don't live in Africa, much less SA. Still, doesn't invalidate the point you made!

Edit 2. I grew up in Africa as a foreigner. It used to be much safer than it is now, unfortunately.
The problem is that most interesting games require a controller. I would gladly pay that amount for good games.
This may seem a bit crass, but I mean it honestly. Why not just leave twitter?

I assure you, you will quickly realise you miss nothing.
Of course other people do this - the internet is full of trolls who get a kick out of their dishonesty, flame wars and generally selfish and disruptive behaviour.

Your justification is that you get a lot of engagement, even to the point of re-directing the conversation to suit your own personal interests. This perfectly fits the pattern of just being a self-interested, attention-seeking troll.

Alternatively, have you thought about the parallels to one of the major criticisms of Facebook, namely how their model prioritises engagement over providing value to the consumer?

The bit about how sometimes there is something useful posted in the thread is just trying to make yourself feel better. That information would likely have been posted anyway, and perhaps with better rankings if you hadn’t dedicated yourself to lowering the signal-to-noise ratio.

If you genuinely appreciated the honest and knowledgeable folks online, you wouldn’t continue to set up situations where they end up getting flamed. The point of an apology is not just to pay lip service to damage already done, it is to change your behaviour so that you do not pointlessly make other people’s lives worse in the future.
This is why https://sumi.news is grouped/filtered by day. I like to browse by day once or twice a week.

Signed distance fields are like vtables. You can invert the cross product and you can introspect information that is otherwise not observable. That is you call a method in user space and it is dispatched to the origin. It is a monad or more specifically an applicative over the geometric inversion. Instead of selecting the segment with the mouse you perform a bind over the generative original data. Thus the projection in the limit provides the functor towards the flat space in which exists the segment that requires selection. You are right. Vtables are not enough but with the borrow checking rust provides you no longer need to track the ownership of the space vectors of the transitive solution. It's pretty complex stuff as a library writer to formulate but once encoded it is not much harder to use than a CSS selector. If you spend a few minutes thinking about it anybody could code it up I'm sure.
I constantly hide ads that I don't like but that stuff just seems to creep back.
There was very nearly one in central London a couple of years back (Hammersmith) and it’s still closed to traffic.

But nearly is good, the situation is being rectified before it turned into a disaster. From the noises coming out of TfL this was a little close for comfort though.
Cultures that value education also value unpaid internships. It's an excellent trade. Free education in exchange for free labor.

Yes, this has been extremely exploited in America, particularly in tech, where it has:

- Created a sense that some work should be "free", hiding the true cost of labor from employers

- Turned students into an endless pool to be exploited

- Undercut the wages of professionals

That being said, the answer is for the student interns to recognize when it's time for them to be paid and to demand it. A lot of Americans think interning is just about getting your "foot in the door" so you "know the right people" and get a leg up on a cushy job. That's simply not the way immigrant families think. There is a value proposition to interning for free when you're learning a trade. It's how I started. When I came to feel I was being exploited, I asked for money, and got it.

>> Preparing for internship culture

This quote itself implies that you're not willing to put in the effort other people are willing to put in. So now, as an employer, why would I hire someone who didn't feel like putting in the extra work for their resume? I suppose you're owed a job - but then, isn't everyone?

This sounds great. Ideally for me is that I am able to choose stretches of the year where I work 50% and stretches where I work 100%, and small number of weeks where I work 150%.

I did that and made a point of following only people who tweet things that are interesting or funny. I would mute any account they posted something that made me feel bad. But Twitter kept finding ways to recommend tweets that would get under my skin in some way, no matter how many accounts I mute.
The opposite actually. If you're that size it's insane to not have fault tolerant clusters, on-prem or cloud doesn't change much. Time to invest in it.

Hi @nodesocket, you can take a look how we solved it with Theo https://theoapp.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html
It supports fine hosts/users grants - i.e. I can connect as "dev" user on servers "node1" and "node2" but not on "node3" - and it leverages asymmetric key signing to validate the public SSH keys.
Theo supports mysql/mariadb/sqlite/postgresql(experimental) for storing data and redis/memecached for caching.
Happy to answer any further questions!

Why would an article in European media __not__ be focusing on European humour? Mind you, it doesn't ignore humour from the rest of the world and even starts off with several paragraphs about the oldest written joke in the world being from the Middle East.
Can You Recycle Plastic? Tesco’s Plastic Pledge Falls Short
Yeah, wishful thinking. I work with them everyday and get to see under the hood. I 100% agree with you on investing in fault tolerant clusters / automation. There is a massive trend happening to modernise legacy infrastructure. Almost all the big companies will have some internal platforms team that are trying to standardise. Just extremely slow and tons of training and education.

I don't think it's the newly build stuff that companies are worried about. It's the old legacy stuff that's on life support that no one wants to modernise or maybe they cannot.

Down the chain is good for communicating to the outside world. But an equal team member would imo be best for helping the team achieve their goals.
It seems you have a innate perchant for convincing someone to trust you to the point you're willing to say untruths, and knowing you will get away from any form of backlash.

I've also met people similar to this behaviour irl, but they're mostly in army low-commanding positions, often issuing threats and FUD narratives to unwilling conscript soldiers. and they're usually very predatory in a sense.
Lisps are fairly "decorative". It just doesn't combine a pin-striped blazer over a plaid shirt with leopard patterned pants, like many languages.

Here are some traditional notations found in Common Lisp:

"string"
symbol
:keyword-sym
#:gensym
package:sym
`(static content ,inserted ,@spliced)
(l i s t)
(im pro per li . st)
#(v e c t o r)
6.18e+23
13/17
;; comment
#*100111101101
#1=(1 2 3 #1#) ;; circular structure
#S(point :x 35 :y 44)

Various dialects have various notations. There is syntax highlighting support in editors, too.

Lisp is not just (this (and that)).
Washing hands is ok, but washing bum is not? Or is it separate line?
I would say this is an anti-pattern: building false communication and a bubble around you, assuming people liking or keeping track of a tweet or even the writers of a disliked tweet have nothing to offer you.

"If you do not understand why your neighbour is upset, how are you to notice the neighbourhood fire?"

That is the antithesis of dialogue, freedom of speech, a disservice to yourself and democracy.

P.S. If someone is harassing you or disturbs you take appropriate steps (per case) -- this path is a long-term disservice to everyone.
Unfortunately, no. Not yet.

But this service makes Twitter soo much more useful I wonder why it is not a standard built in option??
I don't use twitter, but on both reddit and here I'd estimate around ten percent of my voting is misclicking. Phones make it too easy to accidentally press a button.
Or you can just buy a GPU instead of renting one out. I have a project where users generate designs for clothing and the mock ups get rendered in 3D on various different models, about 20 variations per design. Instead of paying a monthly bill to some GPU provider forever I instead bought a Nvidia Jetson Nano and set it up as a render server. It constantly looks at it's render queue and renders as needed. It cost me $150 to put it together and sometimes I forget it exists because it runs so well.

Sometimes it's cheaper and more practical to just buy the hardware.

I had a similar issue with a company I worked for before, we had an account on Azure and the machine was expensive but also slow and after 4 months we decided to buy a used server for $1000 and closed the Azure account and never looked back.

Is it really necessary to have machine learning involved?

While a bit tricky, this seems to be solvable with a bunch of regular expressions/string searches. (At least that's what I'm doing on my personal recipe app.) Filtering out numbers and number words is trivial (compared to training a ML model). The number of units is not that large and thus can be filtered. The rest is the name. This method is also easier to adapt to different languages, as we don't have to create a dataset for each language.

In the example "2 ounces of spicy melon", information is gone missing after parsing ("spicy") and depending on the context may very well be an important part of the ingredient name ("spicy chili peppers"/"mild chili peppers") I would wan't to keep, e.g. for creating a shopping list.

If we're using machine learning for parsing ingredients and want to actually create an added value, I think the goal should be to identify the ingredients from the recipe instructions, generating the list of ingredients.

But please correct me if I'm wrong, I'd love to learn the reasoning for using something as complicated as ML in this case!
Great question; rephrasing it for personal needs: in terms of durability, what is the 2022 equivalent of Linksys WRT54GL [1]? Something that supports open source firmware and will serve me for 5-10 years?

Or, since I have modest needs (ethernet is around 100Mbps; wifi should handle 2 simultaneous Zoom sessions well enough) and I like time-tested solutions: what's a somewhat older but sturdy router that is still worth buying today?

I’m planning to install solar and was thinking around 3KW with battery backup. I definitely want induction cooking.

Should I get more capacity? Bigger batteries? Fewer burners?

Eink has been around for several years now but apparently they are unable to just make a big panel? That combined with their idiotic pricing scheme makes me think their management is just stupid
There are all kinds of reasons why an org would want to shut down third party clients like these; perhaps they feel like they could be held liable if the clients misbehave / delete all files, or feel like they want more control over the “Dropbox experience”. Remember, Twitter at one time was also pushing people to integrate into their ecosystem, but then decided to kill third party clients.

In my case I’m super happy with maestral, as the vanilla Dropbox client doesn’t support my filesystem.

> I suspect if you threw away all preconceived notions of local mobility and started with maximizing {effectiveness/efficiency/carbon/infrastructure costs/real estate/ healthcare/economic benefit/commute times/ opportunity costs} rather than an individual car you would end up with rapid on demand transit (think publicly funded ride-share minivans, light rail, bus rapid transit, autonomous golf carts, e-bikes and biking infrastructure) for moving people by default. Beyond that, you'd also see 15 minute neighborhoods where essentials are all walkable, and remote work for many commuters. Networked local mobility, denser mixed use planning, and hybrid work all do better at some of the same jobs that cars do today.

Yeah, sure, you'd see a lot of public transport in dense areas.

However I disagree that the population would all be housed in dense housing.

The only reason dense centers exist is because its walkable, bikable, etc. People who don't want to live in dense areas would still exist in significant enough numbers that the automobile as we know it would still exist.

Densification occurred prior to the automobile; it was not sufficient to prevent the invention of the automobile as we know it.

You're story doesn't really make much sense. For starters, Los Angeles does not have an income tax (and indeed, no city in CA does, as that is illegal under CA's constitution).

When I got someone on the phone they refused to admit that there could be any way that I, a non-resident who never set foot in the state that tax year, could claim that my income wasn’t subject to their tax regime. Nope, it’s all California source income.

If you've never lived in CA you wouldn't have owed income tax on more than the portion of the salary you received for the few days you were in CA, and certainly not tens of thousands, unless your employer claimed you were a CA-based employee. In which case your beef is with your employer, not with the CA FTB, as the FTB is merely relying on the documentation provided by your employer.

And they make their documentation as confusing as possible, dark patterns at their best.

As a tax lawyer, I deal with the FTB pretty regularly. They're usually helpful, and the agents I've dealt with have been remarkably easy to work with in addressing penalties, past-due taxes/returns, etc.

Never could figure out how to get my money back from Los Angeles.

Why do you think you paid money to LA? LA does not collect income taxes.
That is the biggest issue with C derived languages, the unsafe parts would be perfectly alright if they weren't the default way of doing things.

Yeah, EvE is an amazingly immersive game with meta-gameplay on a whole different level compared to most other games.

I'm happy CCP screwed up back during the whole pants-scandal; it made me give up on online gaming, and it was incredibly liberating to get out of it.
isn't that already the case for all grades? and all extracurriculars? (i.e., picking teams that allow anyone to join, or giving students who couldn't make the cut a pity position on a team such as `team manager` so they can add it to their college application?)
The “elite” schools cherry pick the exceptional to make the rich (legacy admissions) look good.
I agree. Provide a managed pattern that’s good enough for most things. An “on-road” way to deploy and operate. The devs don’t need to worry about designing and janitoring anything but their application.

Of course… the “platform” can and probably will become crap over the long run. Or it’s too doctrinaire and opinionated inflexible and new people don’t like it. Then you end up with alternative platforms popping up over the years, and now there’s multiple ops teams working in different silos (legacy and new etc) and eternal migrations. The circle of life!
My impression is STIR/SHAKEN is only for voice calls, not SMS.

I'm no longer getting almost any robocalls on Verizon as of a couple of months ago when they "turned on" STIR/SHAKEN. What I am getting instead is the same volume of spam text messages.
You cannot overload operators of integral types in C++, if you mean you can overload `int operator+(int, int)` to be saturating. You can create `saturating_int` kind of types easily though.
C# has a compiler flag for checked arithmetic, i.e. overflow will throw an exception. You can't use c# for kernel development of course, but the idea has existed for decades (for much longer than c# existed).

That flag is not set by default in the new project templates for whatever reason. There's also an escape hatch, the unchecked keyword, for the rare cases where you need to overflow, e.g. when implementing hash tables.
Uninitialized stack is just negligence. Compilers can trivially initialize all stack variables. Yes, it's slower, but Android and Windows already chose slow but secure default. Linux just decided to be insecure.
BMW tried with the i3 but failed miserably. Not surprising in hindsight.

When we look back in time we see that new technologies very often tried to emulate the old technology that they were about to replace. Cars used to look like horse carriages, computers used the desktop metaphor and smart phones skeuomorphic design.

The time isn't ripe for better than “same, but electric”.

You should definitely look at Practical Electronics for Inventors, 4e by Scherz, Monk (ISBN- 1259587541).

> The NukkAI challenge required the human champions to play 800 consecutive deals divided into 80 sets of 10. It did not involve the initial bidding component of the game during which players arrive at a contract that they must then meet by playing their cards.

Each champion played their own and their “dummy” partner’s cards against a pair of opponents. These opponents were the best robot champions in the world to date – robots that have won many robot competitions but that are universally acknowledged to be nowhere near as good as expert human players.

Seems like two pretty hefty caveats. Why not pit their best AI against humans directly? And can someone with a better understanding of the game explain how important the initial bidding round is?

It is an ill-posed question. We're approaching peak population, and technological breakthroughs continue to greatly increase the number of people the planet can support.

Imagine a full, half or quarter wall size of e-paper that dynamically display all of your ebooks collection as if they are physical copies in your study room, main hall, etc.

The main different compared to the physical bookshelf is that it is always updating (round-robin, moving, rotating, etc) thus it can display all your books in a limited e-paper physical gallery space (depending on the installed e-paper size and dimension) but should cover all your ebooks over time.
