That's what most people do for a repeatable issue, but there are "gremlin cases" where a car in otherwise good repair will somewhat randomly set a MIL code.

Wife's 2005 CR-V will around once per year set P0325 (knock sensor, bank 1). I've replaced the knock sensor [twice], rang out the wiring, and checked/cleaned all the connectors. It's a 17.5 year old car with ~225K miles on it that sets a code once a year. It's not going to get any more fixed than it already is.
Woah, this video is way more interesting than the Nvidia polaroid teaser in the original link.

The CBC has never done this before: posted a complete article in an indigenous language on the main English site.

An awesome read that brings home the point of the people trying to keep their native languages alive.
I will. Thank you.
It is not a democracy. It is a corrupted democracy.
Yeah, I was confused when first looking at this. But, the title of the English version is "Why I am reclaiming my mother's language before it's too late". So, pretty cool on CBC's part to put make a translation like this.
Despite the deep cultural connections between Football and the US Military, no one I'm aware of actually thinks of Football practice as military / war practice.

Football, despite all of the military grandstanding that goes on TV, is just a game. Its how people have fun.

-------

This article is about how these games ("just for fun") end up affecting military strategy, despite clearly not being about war at all.

IE: America's ability to trust the NCOs in the field might very well hail from football. The Offensive coordinators do grand strategies, but they leave their trust to the Quarterback (who is like a squad-leader / NCO in the military analog).

Similarly: your Baseball nerds can crunch numbers and statistics, and provide all kinds of strategies recommendations to the Pitcher. But at the end of the day, its the Pitcher (and the catcher) who decides what kind of ball to throw.

---------

America's "decentralized" military structure / supreme trust in the NCOs in the field comes from somewhere. Maybe from the sports we play. These games have affected our military's organization structure at a fundamental level... despite having nothing to do with war.
This is theoretical preprint that reinterpret some previous experimental results. The fine technical details are well over my head, but I hope this is accurate enough.

There is a very strong experimental support for the "old" Higgs Boson discovered in 2012 that has a mass of 125Gev, and there is some recent weak experimental support for another "new" Higgs Boson with a mass of 95GeV. (For comparison, the mass of a proton is ~0.9GeV.)

In this preprint, they propose that there is a family of tree Higgs Bosons. The "old" one, the "new" one and a third one yet to be detected. The structure of the family forces some of the properties of the bosons and how they interact with the other particles.

The hard part is tweaking the properties of the family of Higgs Bosons so they predict the results of the experiments where the 125GeV and 95GeV are seen, but they don't cause weird results in all the other thousands of experiments where the Higgs Bosons have a negligible effect.
I did something like this but linked it to Slack and put the printer in our office.

He probably has a wealth of experience in other areas. I think he SHOULD learn to code if he finds it interesting, but then bring that new skill into an area where he already has expertise.

> potentially allowing people to have zero accounts, and just having a private key file on their device (or synched between multiple devices) and a display name of their choosing

Isn't that what an "account" ultimately is? You need a way to tell the server – "route all messages to and from me using this identifier". That ID can be a display name, or a phone number (like WhatsApp), or email or whatever else. And the server has to persist that ID on their end and associate it with your current session.
Perhaps even making non-gimmicky live action 3d films.

Having 3d renders of the entire film without needing green screens and a bunch of balls seems like it would have to make some of the post processing work easier. You can add or remove elements. Adjust the camera angles. More effectively de-age actors. Heck, even create scenes whole cloth if an actor unexpectedly dies (since you still have their model).

Seems like you could also save some time having fewer takes. What you can fix in post would be dramatically expanded.

Best part for film makers, they are often using multiple cameras anyways. So this doesn't seem like it'd be too much of a stretch.
> the best "just works" experience but I didn't like that it wasn't using any kind of containerization which has caused them issues with shared libraries like PHP being difficult to update. As well as security concerns about one insecure app giving access to the whole server.

imo the reproducability guarantees of docker aren't enough and domething like NixOS is needed.

Typical shell programming idioms are quite dynamic. You can give saner semantics, allowing a fair amount of static checking, without abandoning this dynamicity.

What Andy Chu has been doing with Oil Shell is promising in this respect. It supports optional type annotations. Cf. https://www.oilshell.org/blog/2021/01/why-a-new-shell.html
You'll need to draw that line a little clearer, because it's not starkly clear to me. I'm aware of the definition of bribery. I don't think anything mentioned here describes graft as much as it describes the reseller business unless there is some law that limits the amount of money a reseller makes on a deal, or that a purchaser is required to use all of said purchase. In the Saudi example, the contractor got a great deal, but that's hardly illegal. In the Qatar example, buying more seats than you use is a common problem and any company that sells based on seats is guilty of this on some level.

For me to take this farther than "that's how reselling works," there'd need to be some signs that Microsoft employees or government officials were seeing kickbacks from these inefficient deals...basically, the resellers were the ones doing the bribing. The whistleblower seems to be insinuating that's happening, and maybe it is, but there's no hard evidence of it here or that it's something systemic that Microsoft is promoting (indeed, Microsoft would be one of the victims in that case). Without more detail on what exactly Microsoft was extracting out of these circumstances I find the whole thing vague.

You want to start Shopify dropshipping but you’re wondering how much money does it take to get started and to
I'm not going to make any assumptions about you, but when I was growing up (I'm 41), off the very top of my head, Samuel L Jackson was the essence of cool, Bruce Lee movies were awesome, Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton) was an organically good action hero. My favorite movie for the last 25+ years is Bad Boys. I feel ridiculous even trying to go through movies to separate who is non-white which I guess you're after. It seems a more recent phenomenon that we've started to pretend that somehow movie heroes are all white (caucasian in whatever classification system you use) men, but that's a recent thing that came with the modern "progressive movement". I can't speak for your experience (or the experiences of others that maybe your imagining empathizing with), but in everything I've seen, we had a normal period where race etc didn't matter and then people decided to pretend it did again. I can't think of any instance in which the change has actually been for the better. People are more polarized than ever, nobody is actually getting treated better, and movies are worse.

Also, FYI, your comment is racist garbage, how about leaving participants race out of the discussion instead of "lemme guess"ing,
Sure it is. At no point does YouTube charge me any money before streaming any of their videos. They send it to my browser absolutely free of charge.

At a job many, many years ago I asked a developer on a different team (across town) to email me an XML file I needed for a feature I was working on. After a few hours of not getting anything I checked with him and he said the file was too large and the email server wasn't allowing him to send it to me. It was a few hundred kilobytes, it shouldn't have been a problem but I didn't care too much, I just wanted the file so I asked him to zip it up to reduce the size. A few minutes later he said the email server was still rejecting it, even as a zip file. Getting frustrated, I grabbed my laptop and drove to the other office. He showed me the XML file... which was a Word document with screenshots of the XML document opened in an editor.

Exasperated, I asked him why he couldn't just send me the raw XML file instead of putting screenshots in a Word document. Turns out the document was on another system he had to remote into (with Citrix, I think? I don't remember what was used back then) and he wasn't "allowed" to copy files off that machine.
Well, some of them sound more convincing than the others. Intuitively, "12:30 AM" (whose meaning is unambiguous) seems to have more affinity to 12:00 than 11:30 PM does.

But since the midnight is the same distance from the noon, before (AM) or after (PM), in theory both should be reserved for midnights (the past one and the future one), and noon, too, should be both AM and PM - at 0 hours.

The only real solution for this mess is the one that everyone uses: just burn the meaning of 12:00 AM as midnight into your brain, and those who fail to do so are in for a trouble.
Of course you can switch secure boot off. I am just interested in a solution that boots with security on: just out of curiosity, this is about learning after all.
That would definitely explain the large numbers of feisty old Judoka I meet around the world. Anecdotally, there seems to be a higher percentage of healthy older individuals doing Judo than the general population, but I guess the unhealthy ones wouldn't still be at it, so it self selects for that trait.

Judo practitioners might be a good population to study for this effect, if you could find the individuals that started and track them all, including the dropouts. It would have common traits of strong grip AND muscle memory of how to fall properly, which could be a confounding factor.

Also, playing golf adds 5 years to your life expectancy [1]. I kid you not. Start playing today, and you’ll live years longer. This has nothing to do with the fact that most golf players are really wealthy, and so they have access to way better healthcare, nutrition, and lifestyle than the rest of us.

Said differently, correlation does not imply causation.

"Allow ABI break" is equivalent to "kill C++". Some people would like that. I would not.

A less drastic alternative is today allowed: define a new ABI, and see who joins you. This would be akin to what happened when we got the amd64 ABI, or the hybrid 32/64 x86 ABI (more registers, but pointers are still 32 bits): a different compilation target that also runs on the same physical hardware. OSes and linkers would need to recognize binaries compiled to this ABI, and take care not to mix them up.

People who want a new ABI do not like this model because they are not confident anybody would join them. That is itself reason enough not to accept ABI-breakage.
Having done "post-it notes on a board" at an earlier job, I could not feel more different about it. Post-it notes sucked - they're not big enough to capture any history or context, and the types of tasks I was handed would be about 10-20 extra subtasks on their own.

I ended up trolling the system by simply adding post-it notes to post-it notes for subtasks as a protest against the fact that I could never keep any useful detail against them and the tasks themselves ranged between gigantic and functionally unsolvable (it was infrastructure work, so "done" didn't really exist).
OSS actually sometimes does that - here is what we do, and hey, someone else is doing something similar.
Catalytic converters are an expensive fix. It might not be worth it to fix the car.

Alternative option is to sell the car to someone in a state that does not require emissions testing.

Also, if someone steals your catalytic converter, and there is not much damage, it is possible to “straight pipe” it for cheap and just not put in a catalytic converter. Although, I would assume inspection stations have cameras or mirrors where they can see the bottom of the car, so this might only be worth it in states that do not do inspections.
Corporations can still very much "fall out of flavor", driving their revenues and assets to zero. This criticism isn't only applicable to crypto.

And cryptocurrencies' intrinsic value is this: they are payment networks that work even where traditional systems fail. No denied transactions. No limits. No "account" to open. Works for the underbanked. Send money truly anytime anywhere. No other system does this. That's the value.

In the end, there is no fundamental difference between a service provided by a corporation vs a service provided by cryptocurrencies. Both services can and do have value.

I'm approaching this from my own perspective of a fairly serious introvert, and I feel like the biggest skill I've picked up in life is pushing past the introvert wall.

Which is that thing that whispers "Going out will be a hassle. Why not just not?"

Work was one way of forcing past that, but I feel that's analogous to saying "Prison is one way of curing wanderlust." It feels more reasonable to treat the underlying issue than take a bargain that comes with serious negative consequences.

I am learning SML currently (with the book "Elements of ML Programming" by Jeffrey D. Ullman) and I have to say it is quite elegant. I like the pattern matching for functions. Often it is surprising how much shorter functions become, when you pattern match in the signature of the function. Makes me think, that maybe I should think about using pattern matching more in Scheme as well. And that I don't want to miss it in any new language I learn. Of course also the type safety is great. I could imagine writing critical parts of a system using SML.

The biggest question mark in this entire DMA ruling is identity federation. If I am using a messaging app, and want to connect with someone who may be on any other service, is there going to be a reliable way to broker this initial exchange or will I have to specify an explicit (service, user identifier) pair, with each service managing their set of users on their own?
Well, it doesn't have to be that abstract. Muscles in the peripheral limbs, particularly the lower leg but also the forearm, are important in returning venous blood to the heart. In fact, the gastrocnemius (calf muscle) has been referred to as the "second heart":

> YugabyteDB: Fake Open Source. Special shout out here for not even linking to instructions for how to build the database in the readme.

All the features are open source. Here is how to build from source https://docs.yugabyte.com/latest/contribute/core-database/bu....

> What do I mean by Fake Open Source? A project that has a large percentage of its contributors beholden to a single organization/entity to me is not really open source in spirit.

Well, somebody gotta start the project, no? Feel free to contribute though. Since it reuses PostgreSQL, it directly inherits the "postgresql community commits". The same with being a fork of Apache Kudu fork.

> If there's an "Enterprise" product and the organization calls the source code for the main project the "Community Edition" or something like it, it's not Real Open Source.

The "Enterprise" edition is "just" some scripts that make deployment & monitoring easier (and includes 24/7 developer support). All c++ features are open source.

And it's still young. You can't compare against PostgreSQL that has 20+ years of being available.

hmmm well I still think they will be in demand for the same reason software developers will be not automated away. NeRF is really mind boggling good but there are still artifacts, and something that modelers have a good eye for.

Having said that, it might be the end for any junior type of roles. Same reason that github copilot really takes a bite of the need to have a junior developer.

I'm very curious what will happen because it will become a sort of trend across other industries apart from legal or medical professions (peace of mind from human-in-the-loop).

It would be really great to recreate loved ones after they have past in some sort of digital space.

As I’ve gotten older, and my parents get older as well, I’ve been thinking more about what my life will be like in old age (and beyond too). I’ve also been thinking what I would want “heaven” to be. Eternal life doesn’t appeal to me much. Imagine living a quadrillion years. Even as a god, that would be miserable. That would be (by my rough estimate) the equivalent of 500 times the cumulative lifespans of all humans who have ever lived.

What I would really like is to see my parents and my beloved dog again, decades after they have past (along with any living ones at that time). Being able to see them and speak to them one last time at the end of my life before fading into eternal darkness would be how I would want to go.

Anyway, there’s a free startup idea for anyone—recreate loved ones in VR so people can see them again.
