That's spectacularly impressive given anodizing (done properly) makes aluminum much harder.
Watch Apple TV+ in web browsers
It wasn't intentional!

I experimented with different colors, but seems like all of them produce this illusion :/

I'll see what I can do.
I let Prime lapse maybe a year ago. I realized I'd been paying for HBO on Prime for years even though I had never used it. It was my own fault, I should have realized that the charge for "Prime video" on my credit card statement every month was not for regular Prime TV. But after that, I was never again going to let Amazon sneakily charge me for things, and it wasn't the first time they'd done it, so I deleted all my payment methods. After getting rid of Prime, my life hasn't changed for the worse one bit. I do still order from Amazon sometimes, but I always order the $25 minimum to get free shipping and then delete my payment method immediately.
This is technically true, but there's no denying that web 2.0 has become more centralized.
I see that I'm not the only one inspired by this blog post [1]. I did a similar visualization with blocks to display my working hours [2].

Because it depends on torso height too and that varies from person to person? What's a few cm too tall for you could easily be 5 cm too short for me. This combined with different chairs and different table heights results in different eye level points.

I don't understand why Apple is just so cheap here. On a $200 monitor you can maybe make the case it shouldn't be height adjustable to save a few bucks, on a $1600 one it's just inexcusable.
> Mentally rewarding hobbies can be fruitful

Unreservedly agree. Even if they're not as fruitful as Oliver Heaviside's effort, a mentally rewarding hobby is ultimately your business, and as long as you don't harm others, no one has grounds to judge you.

If Oliver Heaviside had started giving conferences warning that Maxwell's equations demonstrate FTL communication is possible, which could trigger a paradox that collapses reality, he wouldn't have such a good view in the rear-view mirror unless he offered some kind of evidence. Maybe Oliver would have been right, maybe not, it would be impossible to judge without concrete evidence.
Fractal | Many Eng Roles | Remote | Fulltime

I'm Justin, cofounder of Twitch, former YC partner, and founder of many more startups. I am cofounder of a new company, Fractal, an NFT marketplace for gamers to discover, buy and sell gaming NFTs.

The process started during the territorial government.

For those reading along, see https://online.nmartmuseum.org/nmhistory/people-places-and-p... for sense of the cultural differences PaulDavisThe1st is talking about:

> American water law, which had been based largely on modified English Common Law practices, was developed east of the Mississippi River, where large amounts of rainfall virtually guaranteed an abundant water supply. East of the ninety-eighth meridian, agriculture could usually rely on adequate rainfall to insure sufficient crops. However, the area that the United States annexed as a result of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo was largely arid, with few perennial rivers and very little rainfall. Any agriculture developed in this region would have to rely on irrigation, a system unfamiliar to many Americans.

> American political and social traditions further complicated the process. The American ideal of land distribution was deeply rooted in the belief of the sanctity of private property. This ideal celebrated the individual, independent farm and his family who cultivated the land on which they held legal ownership. At its basis, it reflected the assumption that abundant rainfall would support such independence. The belief in representative democracy as the supreme form of political organization was intimately related to this ideal. According to this perspective, independent farmers, owning their own land and free from economic servitude, voted for those leaders who they felt best represented their interests. The two credos of the United States, private property and republican democracy, deeply colored the view of those Americans who came to dominate the arid Southwest. ...

> ... Fearing a loss of democratic independence, many American leaders would have agreed with the army engineer William H. Emory that any system of irrigation “involves a degree of subordination, and absolute obedience to a chief, repugnant to the habits of our people.” ...

> ... the spirit of reluctant compromise did not completely erase the racial bigotries inherent in American culture. If white Americans in New Mexico found it necessary to incorporate aspects of the acequia system into their approach to water, they would change it to suit their worldview. One aspect of the acequia system that many white American leaders found offensive concerned the mayordomo. The mayordomo served as both local administrator and as a sort of water sheriff, whose duties included distributing water and commanding the mandatory labor of community inhabitants. To people raised on the rhetoric of independence and individualism, the mayordomo represented the worst aspects of a social system in which a few rich land owners lorded over an ignorant, dark-skinned peasantry. In 1895, the New Mexico territorial legislature dealt the traditional role of the mayordomo a deathblow by transferring his powers to ditch commissioners – a nod in the direction of science and efficiency. By the turn of the century, the entire acequia system would come under attack.

EDIT: also read "The Milagro Beanfield War" for a fictional account of New Mexico water rights issues.
There's a huge gap between "we assume there's a competently run Postgres somewhere" and being vendor-locked to AWS. Former doesn't imply latter.
And the current candidate was strictly chosen from a pool based upon race and chromosomes .
TBH, the additional overhead from also negotiating healthcare seems like a pretty marginal reason to explain the state of unions in the US today.
You can use AWS and be GDPR compliant. What are you talking about?
OPA has a whole policy language to define how people have access to resources however you please. See details here: https://www.openpolicyagent.org/docs/latest/policy-language/
How do you compute with posits? I can imagine vaguely how an FPU would work, by applying the rules of algebra to m*2^e and cleaning up afterwards to keep things normalized, but I do not know what operations on the projective circle are homeomorphic to addition or multiplication on the real line.
> Why would any company actually want to do this when they could just get non union labor in any of the thousands of right-to-work cities?

Because they can't. Not easily, not certainly.

If you've been given direction to quickly deploy a warehouse, being able to sign a single agreement and know you have your work force is valuable. (The alternative involves creating a hiring pipeline, staffing it, running it and lining all of that up with everything else. If you're a scaling company that's a lot of non-core B.S.)

Put another way, all business is bundling and unbundling. A recently-fired union is a bundle of labor. That isn't valuable to everyone. But it's definitely valuable to at least some labor buyers.
The "date" column and sort order in Explorer is a "deep state metadata inspection" kind of deal. For ordinary files this makes no difference, it's the same as Date modified, but sorting by date in a folder full of media files generally ends badly and in any case takes a long, long time until Explorer has parsed every last one of them. Explorer also seems to be rather unable to cache the results of this operation.
That works for simple circuits. Actual computers have oodles of state - we usually call it "main memory". Assembly is a language that can only do one thing: mutate this state.
Could you give a source for that?
https://reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful now only allows pictures of Data from star trek, though someone has posted Data from Goonies and ...seems they'll allow that too.. lol.
I ended up reaching a similar conclusion after I went looking for a todo app that suited my needs. I had very few requirements and I was surprised nothing satisfied them. I wanted something (1) that allows me to attach dates to tasks; (2) that lists tasks by date in a calendar; (3) that is local-only — not a web app, no cloud sync or anything, and not too many extraneous features.

I couldn't find anything that met those criteria without also having a bunch of extra features and a subscription service tacked on, and eventually I just wrote a script for scraping a text file and printing out all the lines tagged with dates (e.g. @jun-10) in order. That's the only real functionality I needed that a text file can't satisfy on its own, and it's been working great so far.

Your phone emits full transmit power, while in your pocket, in very short bursts.

Experiments with E-M effects on biology show that changes in current matter more than steady current. So, the effect of pulses could be larger than if it actually were transmitting full-time. We just don't know.
> I'm not sure I'd call unions legally-mandated to hold 33-50% (depending on company size) of the company's board seats "weaker". That's the situation in Germany.

I think that's a brilliant policy. It forces the unions to have some skin in the game. If you're on the board, you have a fiduciary responsibility to the company and it's shareholders. In the U.S., most union bosses are happy to bleed a company dry provided the bleed is slow enough for them to make it to retirement (or death in the case of folks with a nice pension).

It's even worse with the public unions. Since governments can theoretically keep raising taxes, there's no real limiting factor to how much the unions can demand.

The union system is the U.S. is completely broken. I think unions in the U.S. should be both more widespread but much less powerful.

Short answer: feature selection is one particular method of dimensionality reduction.

And most people when they say feature selection mean deliberate domain-driven selection of features.

That is to say, you can also create an entirely new synthesized feature from, say, 5 raw features and use it to replace those 5 features (this is ... PCA-esque.)

Or you could also use random forest techniques for example which just arbitrarily reduce the dimensions / features of each individual decision tree in the forest.

I agree many people here are making mountains out of molehills of terminology.
My own thoughts on Elden Ring are pretty simple. Give the players an absolutely gigantic open world map that you can basically travel from one end to the other without fighting anything, just for exploration's sake. Fill it with thoughtful mob-level NPC placement, making the higher level areas have higher level NPCs. Throw in a giant array of weapons, spells, skills and upgrades to choose from. Throw bosses around everywhere and lock some gear and progress behind them, but not too much. Finally, let the player decide how they want to approach the game and what quests they want to attack.

This is a game that doesn't have any real "systems" past stats and stat affinities, but instead of making it limited, it makes the game incredibly replayable. There was at least one boss that I would probably have needed to level another 20 or so levels to beat, but instead of the slow offensive skill I was using, I instead equipped Quickstep on my katana and suddenly I was able to dodge attacks that were crushing me before.

Do I think some sort of internal recordkeeping for quests would help? Absolutely. I like that there's no checklist on the screen so that the game doesn't seem like a chore. But you know what the game never asks me to do? Go gather 20 of a certain item. Go kill 30 of a certain creature. There are questlines with multiple parts to be sure, but most of them are going to take a while as you actually fight your way through the world.

Because the focus of Fromsoft is on the player experience with world interaction and not with systems design, I will probably play through the game 3 or 4 more times in succession. I'm familiar with the game now, but I'm playing a bandit. Next time, it will be a magic user. The time after, a strength. Then a faith build. It can be frustrating to pick up items that you can't use, and while the game does give you the ability to respec your character to take advantage of all the stuff you find, I'm eager to continue my current playthrough on the path I chose from the start.

Best game I've ever played, and a vast improvement over the chore simulators that have come to dominate the market.

The RMT/Unite Union in the UK regularly cripples London by staging tube strikes when they all have well paying secure jobs so not entire sure I buy it.
Amazon's service for it's retail arm is excellent, easy to talk to customer service and easy to return things. Their delivery estimates are spot on, and their delivery times are unmatched by any other online retailer.

I haven't use AWS that much, but when I have it has been straightforward, with good documentation, and it seems I have more control over things with AWS than other cloud providers I've tried.
They are illegal in the United States too, just culturally the laws are not enforced like they are in the European Union.

So it sounds like the main pain-point is improper implementation. Though the padding oracle attack is convincing to use something else, as it's necessary to pad yet still opens up to a different attack vector.
Fireside chats weren't intended for "bunkered beleaguered citizens". They were a way to speak directly and with familiarity to millions of ordinary Americans, without having the government's actions first filtered through the biased lenses of the media.
My experience with public schools includes sexual abusers keeping their jobs due to union protection.
Given the date, it feels appropriate to point out that the same law also makes it illegal to send a message that you know to be false for the purpose of causing annoyance.

It's much riskier and costlier for employees to report that kind of thing, in a non-union shop.

Union shop, if you're sure what you've been asked to do is a violation of rules, you tell your boss no, then to fuck off if they try to pressure you, and you'll be totally fine. If you're not sure if something's OK, you have the union as a resource to check with, not just other managers working for the company (whose interests may not be aligned with yours, and even asking questions might be risky).

Non-union shop... good luck with that. You can go to regulators, but it's more effort, the process for doing so is something you'll have to figure out yourself, and it's a case where even if you're right you can end up having a rough few months or even years getting it all sorted out and being fairly compensated for any e.g. retaliation that happened.

Ideally, you want reporting problems of this sort to have a low and consistent cost for the person reporting it, not a high and very uncertain cost. If you want effective enforcement, that is.
Sure, most cases aren't polarizing, but that doesn't mean that the law is objective -- the other 30% of cases proves as much.

Personally, I'd be more interesting in knowing how many cases split 5/4 (or 6/3) the obvious way versus how many cases were unanimous or nearly so.
You are authoritarian - forcing people to do something that should be accomplished voluntarily is antithetical to freedom
Yeah I'm assuming a USB stick. But then he emailed the files off of the stick? Why not mail the stick?
Well that's a neurotypical illustration corresponding to a typically developed brain with typical usage patterns. People who can't use their hands or train a lot with their feet can display astounding dexterity.
What, that we are all exposed to BPAs, PFAs, and thousands of other poorly-understood industrial chemicals? That many nobody can avoid are known to be teratogenic at very low concentration?
Imagine all the automotive engine sounds that need to be archived. Looking around my desk: the low hum of a spinning hard disk. Mechanical stop watch. The snap of micro USB.
In the US, federated labor which used to sometimes be organized under the name guild were merged with industrial unions under the umbrella of the AFL-CIO in the US.
I'd say this is partly demographic/generation shifts, unions have extremely strong support among younger age groups and this is just one of the first visible results. Teamsters, to name one union, just had leadership change over and will be taking a much more aggressive posture going forward, and I don't think that's a unique story.
I read that as avian flu carriers.
