> And we have uninformed comments on Lightning Network

So the Lighting Network is Bitcoin and it is all working on chain then?

Furthermore, we also have 1 day old accounts created for the purpose of attempting to refute my comment with themselves having ZERO counter evidence.

So when are you going to refute this research paper which evidently highlights the Lightning Network's centralization problem? [0]

> the issue is almost always a lack of attention, a lack of discipline and/or a lack of awareness

I'm not sure exactly what sort of regularity you're talking about with barking, but I think this take can be counter-productive. Let's say your neighbor gets a puppy. The puppy at some point will begin barking (because e.g. they will overtire themselves and sometimes need to be confined in order for them to sleep, or they want something they cannot have). Interpreting this as "lack of attention" (and thus urging the neighbor to respond to (read: reward) the dog's barking) will teach the dog that barking gets them what they want.

Thus for a period it is likely that a new dog will go through phases of barking which simply have to be endured in order for the puppy to learn that they don't get rewarded in response to barking. Alas, this can take time and some dogs are naturally more vocal than others. There's no way around this issue except from living somewhere dogs are either not allowed or are far away enough to be of no concern, and educating people about dog training.
Yes, this is the one. I couldn’t help but want the same speed and beauty as in that post.
I thought I couldn't sleep in a quiet room. Then I moved somewhere that is actually completely quiet at night. It turns out I can sleep very well. I just never had a completely quiet room up until this point. White noise was the only option to drown out the intermittent sounds (mostly cars) throughout the night.
There is a huge fusion reactor in the sky. We don't need "unlimited" energy, we need cheap energy. There is zero reason to assume that fusion on Earth will be any cheaper than what we already have.
Your comment presupposes that this mysterious phenomenon that in some cases apparently can't be explained is indeed caused by literal aliens from another world, with motives and reasoning similar in some basic way to our own. What if it isn't either of these things at all but remains as something without a clear explanation? We don't actually know what a certain genuinely currently inexplicable (and they do exist) subset of UFO encounters really are. The common assumption is that they're extraterrestrials of some kind, but that might be completely wrong, and the reality (whatever it is) subject to rules of "behavior" that don't have to and don't in practice at all conform to how human cognition and logic normally operate or reason.

> Presumably the executives who fired him are intelligent people who can draw their own conclusions about what he did or didn't say.

Yes, but is it fair to say that they probably made the decision based on what's best for the business?

"Make the mob go away" is a rational decision to make. And one that's done all the time in this world of public shaming (see book "So you've been publicly shamed").

Damore does not have a cash value higher than the productivity lost by many other employees turning into a mob instead of working.

Maybe they would have fired him without the mob. But I don't think so.

> Damore was fired by a conspiracy.

No, I say by mob justice (the mob) and capitalism (best decision for the business).

No conspiracy needed.
In my experience the Java world tries to look more serious with all dependencies having fancy corporate names, but the end result is exactly the same. Log4j proved to the world that Java has as much of a dependency tree hell problem as any other programming language.

What I find annoying about Java is that very major dependencies are either slow-moving, making upgrading to a new Java version quite a challenge, or require constant rewrites with new releases. I've come to expect that upgrading dependencies usually means "the code works except for these methods being a bit different" but in Java libraries the entire API can change on a whim.

The only thing I find "serious" about it is that everyone seems to run ancient versions of Java because their dependencies are impossible to upgrade. It's no wonder that Java 8 seems to be as popular as ever despite the two LTS releases since.
It should be illegal (if not already) to demand children accept data sharing agreements with private companies to participate in public education.

That is what the teacher asking kids to use a Facebook product is doing. Speaking personally, if I end up with a kid in that situation, and they are limited in school in any way because they don't accept FAANG license agreements, I will take them to court and make a media shit show out of it.

Something being "normal" in education doesn't make it right, or unchangeable. Not washing hands in hospitals was once normal, and a small minority of people needed to challenge those norms to set appropriate healthcare hygiene standards.
I heard that in US some people pollute more on purpose and call it "coal rolling".

Is it the same crowd with modified exhaust? Are they increasing the noise on purpose?

When the heck is R2 hitting general availability? In my mind it's on the verge of becoming vaporware. Although, it did have the nice side effect of increasing the amount of free egress from S3.

I don't personally suffer from ADHD, but from what I understand it's a spectrum order with sub-types, so I affects everyone differently. Some people have trouble focusing their attention, while others are compulsive and suffer from lack self regulation and emotional issues.
Not necessarily. You can incorporate in a country like Estônia, for example.

One-stop-shop accountants will charge you 50-100 euros/mo and take care of everything.

They don't tax revenue, just distributed profits. As long as you keep the money in the business (even investing) or take a salary, you won't pay taxes in Estonia (assuming you don't live there).
>Why do you think children will be more successful at outwitting nefarious companies' behavioural scientists than adults are?

> Everything class based, you have one render method, one method where you can launch your ajax, and you give your data dependencies explicitly instead of React trying to infer something and calling your functions at random.

Class based components in React got pretty close. But for whatever reason, everyone jumped on the hooks bandwagon, against which i have some personal objections: https://blog.kronis.dev/everything%20is%20broken/modern-reac... (harder to debug, weird render loop issues, the dev tools are not quite there yet)

That said, using the Composition API in Vue feels easier and somehow more stable, especially with the simple Pinia stores for data vs something like Vuex or Redux.
> It runs 24/7 even though no one has been in the building during COVID.

With modern buildings, where all windows and walls are completely airtight and there is no natural draft any more because of energy efficiency, the buildings would start to mold if you turned off the ventilation.
Maybe. I too only have anecdotes about it.

I saw several senior leaders (in industry and in the mob) say exactly what I quoted.

And privately I asked several angry people "did you read it?". Most said no, and some came back later saying "yeah that was not actually what they told me it was".
>The other beauty of tools like Jira is that the conversation is preserved. Why did we approach the problem that way? Well, go look at it.

I wish this is how it worked IME. IME "documentation" or rather a document would need to be created explaining the decision. No one reads the documents anyways! Referring to the ultimate source of truth, the conversation, preserves EVERYTHING that went into it. "But I don't want all the details so please create a document." You want a document? You know what you want in it? Why don't you go and write it? Seems no one can be bothered to research and read anymore. /End rant
Since you are looking for an alternative instead of paying for Google Workplace does that mean there is a requirement for the replacement to be free?
Very good point.

The problem is that these issues are hard to understand and properly value for adults... let alone children at 7 and 9.

Addiction.
Privacy.
Freedom of expression.
Popularity contests and identity.
Economies of Scale.
Value of attention.

Damn hard to understand. And we really didn't cover the tech part. We have zero chances to convince adults away from the tech bubble. They don't get it, and don't want to get it. That includes the mom of my children unfortunately. So giving them the arguments and telling them 'it's your choice' won't work. They are too young to understand this.
AWS (and generally all *aaS providers) free tier(s) are enough to experiment with, and get a feel for, but are limited enough that using them in any meaningful way is very difficult without incurring cost.

Surely you can appreciate that "time" is not the only commodity that can be meaningfully (and reasonably) limited?
If you use any ramtester software you test one combination under one environment. Maybe the counterfeit chips don't allow as long traces. Their setup or hold time are slightly different which might be an intermittent error. Or only an error when in an 50 degree celsius+ environment.

It's trivial to test RAM under a single condition like you are proposing. It's almost impossible to check whether RAM performs as expected over all scenarios.
Another take on this particular question (that I found much more interesting) https://slatestarcodex.com/2014/04/22/right-is-the-new-left/
EU has a regulation requiring new cars to be equipped with DRL capability, that's all. Laws requiring the use of lights in daytime that exist in some countries are completely unrelated to EU.

That’s actually caused by incorrect rendering: Manchu text should be written vertically, but Wikipedia seems to wrongly render it as horizontal text (at least for me).

On the other hand, the Chinese character 馬 does look very horse-like, and this isn’t a coincidence at all, since the character was designed that way.
Whoa. That building must be paper thin then. I know they produce sound (we had one), but that's still worlds apart from having someone practice a piece way over their heads days on end.
It's true, not using a framework can be very enlightening, it shows the breadth of what you have to implement yourself.

It can also sometimes work the other way, and show that the framework is not actually that useful. I had this with Ansible, where going down to raw fabric made my life much, much nicer (yaml is not a great programming language...).

I assume it's more complex that that, but I can't see how a driverless car can reliable distinguish between being pulled over and an emergency vehicle is trying to get past on a narrow road.
The whole idea of free speech is that there is no “we” who decides what topics are allowed and “how much room” particular topics get. Free speech means it’s free, and people can talk about whatever they want, however much they want.

If you don’t like what people are saying, you can use your free speech to explain why your ideas are better.
Anything and everything. In addition to Django and ML (which you mention), there's a lot of systems programming that can be done with Python. I recently left a position where I automated systems tools using Saltstack and Python, Gitlab CI/CD and Python to automate a lot of data loading and wrote some services using Flask and DRF. The CI/CD project had me make a satellite system of Docker images to interact with SMB and REST interfaces. That was a lot of fun, akin to making basic Unix tools for a multi-OS hoard (think cp mv and rm except the endpoints are services instead of files). Made me realize that in the Docker world we have to adjust our expectations for what you pass between commands. It's no longer text on a pipeline, it's filesystems passed between containers.
AI leaders occasionally seem to pontificate on AGI, yet it's difficult for a layperson like me to see how their expertise (as seen in publications like this) translates.
There are books on the topic. 'Digital vegan' by Andy Farnell is a good entry point. He cites lots of studies and other books.
Understanding how to track others in mirrors is one thing -- understanding with clarity that the cat in the mirror is them, is actually another.

The mirror dot test (which I imagine needs to be done really carefully with cats since they instinctively clean their own faces and necks, and have sensitive whiskers) shows whether the animal fully understands that the reflection is specifically of them, and can use that reflection to solve a puzzle.

I have said elsewhere that it's kind of just about possible for the ears-in-the-mirror cat to not understand the mirror cat is herself, but it is an increasingly implausible alternative.

The mirror dot test may have its limitations on a species basis, but it is not easy to come up with a universal test.
I went on a nice walk in the Peak District in England a few weeks ago when we had nice weather. The worst thing was the sound of cars and motorcycles everywhere. And not just the occasional one passing by. They would pollute an entire valley with their noise for hours at a time. I reckon everyone within a 10 mile radius would be affected.

I'm just trying to enjoy what's left of nature and it's like I'm at a race track.

Is "Nothing about this paper is new" an appropriate response when the abstract explicitly mentions that it's a survey paper? Maybe I'm just sensitive, but to me that sounds dismissive rather than purely informative.
Mommsen's History of Rome
I loved walking by musical school every now and then when they had windows open. Sorta added to summery feeling. But I hated every minute of my upstairs neighbour having their go at piano.
Shockingly low considering it’s self reported. I would expect far more people to latch on to any excuse for getting fired or not hired besides “I wasn’t that good at my job”.
I think this is natural, not strange. Not saying to criticize, I mean as a friendly heads up...

You're acting like a tree in the forest offering fruits for free. People pass by, take a couple fruits and move on. You put a shy sign "if you drop a dollar on the floor it won't hurt".

0.001% dollars is what you get out of this behavior.

It's strange to expect something different. You need to tell people you expect a LOT of them to pay. Otherwise they don't know. You tell them that by restricting access and saying: pay or go away. Offer a limited time free trial. Then charge.
Does anybody know of textbooks, or articles, material etc. that focus on the /consequences/ of the mathematics of ANNs? For example: why in this problem using more layers is more or less efficient than using bigger layers, or branching evolutions of the outcomes as opposed to intensive computation of a single flow etc.

A reasoned summary of the tricks, in a way ("this works because of that").
> [...] and yet I was part of a number of different social groupings in school.

While I share your objection on GP commenter's false dichotomy (though honesty who knows, maybe their high school was a real life enactment of Skins!) and their apparently judgemental attitude towards their peers, let's not forget that they also said they connected with:

>> The computer nerds, the anime nerds, the hobbyists, the actors, the musicians, the magicians, and the artists.

I.e. they were also part of a number of social circles despite not engaging in “non-stop sex, drugs and alcohol” etc.

I think that the overarching theme of this discussion is neither the false dichotomy that you pointed out, nor the dichotomy of social vs "non"-social, but rather how intense and alienating are a given culture's expectations to conform to the mainstream or its implications that this or that interest is better as of itself. Multiple social connections will always exist, and some shared interests will be more or less common. That is normal and socially healthy. What truly matters is that interest or lack of it in this or that hobby/theme/lifestyle does not result in cliquey social exclusion which can be very damaging in the long term.

Anecdotally, as someone who grew up in Spain, my generation would often comment on how bizarre it seemed to us that American high schools in fiction virtually always implied such a clear dividing line between those who were popular/sporty/cheerleaders on the one hand, and those who were nerdy/band/theatre on the other. Of course we knew people in school who would fit one stereotype more than others, and people were somewhat divided into groups of friends. However, these groups were neither themed, nor was belonging to one explicit and either-or, nor was there any implied social hierarchy in them.
The only practical solution: Don't try to run your own mail server.

I manage a service that sends about 25k emails daily using SES (AWS) with some dedicated IPs. Despite everything done right wrt spf/dkim/dmarc, IP reputation warm up etc, we still run into these issues from time to time with multiple providers. Outlook.com just says 'it is being delivered' and then just deletes the email or something, some local ISPs do that too. And then deny it when you try to 'debug' the issue.

This is simply how email delivery 'works' anno 2022 unfrotunatly

There's a reason the US has a symbolic military presence in Taiwan, most likely even on the Pratas island to train Taiwan defence troops there. It would be the first and obvious strategic target, and taking the otherwise uninhabited island without hitting the potentially present US military personnel would be hard - which should make China at least think twice about making a move against it.
The web is a strange place indeed, and maybe I misunderstood your reply, but my take after reading it was like: You are freely and independently offering a service to others for free and are complaining to us that you don't get enough donations to keep it? Kill it, it's not that anyone is entitled to your service for free, or charge for it, so yeah I think it will change when people stop putting free stuff online?
Maybe not "usually" but regularly enough that it's worth mentioning.
What numbers you have and what numbers you want? I imaging you did know that most cars, trucks, ships, airplanes, many industries run on oil. Cheap oil is obviously a nice thing to have also to build the Green New Deal. I imaging you have seen the food provisioning issues. The skyrocketing prices sold as "caused by the war" but skyrocketed before the war and caused by financial speculation not by the evil Russian bear and so on.

What's your plan? Produce fertilizers without gas + without animals since the Green New deal dislike meat? Produce the electric revolution without energy? BTW strategic reserves are for emergencies, using them without a plan to replenish them means consume anything and remain without anything and no plan.

I've built my new house few years ago, well insulated, with p.v. etc I do not own EVs because so far a far from being a good idea but when neoliberals will push, because they'll do, gasoline to 4 euros/liter than an EV will be needed and I can recharge it, but industries can't and I do not produce such systems in my garage. While vast majority of population can't even afford a new home.
GPU Cloud Provider Price Reduction
I've spent 2 years in a team that was allowed to build platform tooling from scratch and it's been the most productive and high impact work i've done to date.

The only reason I'm not there anymore is that the team disintegrated after a change in leadership. Despite that being years ago, our tooling survived, judging from some headers.

If you glue things together, you inevitably have unknowns about the specifics of how your software actually works, and that very often comes back to bite you. But it's even worse if you do platform engineering, because developers downstream from you will find features (or anti-features) you didn't notice and completely derail and guardrails you had envisioned.

Having full control over everything we wrote kept us nimble and able to react fast. If you own all your code, making small adjustments is easy. If you glue together packages or off the shelf code you may end up having to choose between a trade off and maintaining a fork of a piece of code far beyond the scope of the thing you need. The only pain we had left was keeping in step with kubernetes API packages.
Standups aren't supposed to be status reports. They're supposed to be huddles (to determine the plan of action). Want "status"? Look at the "xyz board". Blockers? That's important. Communicating any blockers that need to be addressed. That can be an email. And shouldn't have to wait until the next huddle. You can waste hours waiting. Communicate blockers immediately synchronously (interrupting) or asynchronously (noninterrupting, like email) depending on your work environments preferred or agreed upon protocols.
Exactly. In C++ everybody just writes their own libraries which enable other kinds of bugs and vulnerabilities.

>especially in the age when library of congress includes hip-hop records and a former president expressed his appreciation towards it openly.

Is this supposed to be some kind of moral argument? I once asked my classmate what the hiphop song was about becuase I couldn't follow the lyrics (I'm not native to the anglosphere) and he replied "It's about how he drives around and finds women to drug and rape". Apparently it was quite a popular hiphop song!
I don’t see newsletter modals as often as I see cookie banners or paywalls by far.
Obviously building a service and thinking you will get 1% of users to support it may be prone to this fallacy and thus a service should not necessarily be built on this assumption, but in this case they have already sunk the costs of building the service, now it's sending the email to find out if 1% will support it.

I don't think there is a lot of reason to be careful in this case.
