The main issue with deploying these systems right now is the technical overhead to develop them out. Existing solutions are either paid and require you to share your valuable data, or open source but either abandoned (rip Crab) or inextensible (most rely on their own DB or postgres).

I’d love to see a lightweight, flexible recommendation system at a low level, specifically the scoring portion. There are a few flexible ones (Apache has one) but none are lightweight and require massive servers (or often clusters). It also can’t be bundled into frontend applications which makes it difficult for privacy-centric, own-your-data applications to compete with paid, we-own-your-data-and-will-exploit-it applications.

Star seller means exceptional service. What you're advocating is to reduce the overall quality of the platforms so bad sellers can be perceived just as good sellers.

It sounds like the exact same thing but with added latency. I hate latency.

It baffles me why anyone would choose an incompatible architecture only to run dumb clients on it. You might as well just save your money and run the dumb clients on 20 year old hardware.

Or you could spend less money on a laptop that is actually compatible with whatever platform you are deploying to and enjoy low-latency local development.
Organizational leadership really matters. Imagine being a law-abiding person who joins an organization that's run by organized crime. Most of your colleagues are decent law-abiding people, but a few are thugs. And when those thugs hurt people, leadership pours all its resources into supporting and shielding them from consequences. When you (a law-abiding employee) try to report a thug for misbehavior, your leadership supports the thug over you or even drums you out of the organization.

Do you think this would be a sustainable organization? Should the general population look at a given representative and think "90% probability this is a good person" or should they think "10% probability this person is a violent thug who can hurt or kill me with impunity, and in any group of ten reps one might try to kill me and the others will look the other way?" What is the right way to engage with an organization like that? And over time is this organization going to reform itself, or is it increasingly going to attract bad people and drive away the decent ones?

There's a lot at stake here. Recent anti-accountability political activism by police leadership and union bosses is really scary and counterproductive stuff even if most cops are fundamentally decent.
> Liberals are invested in social theories that reject the importance of fathers in socializing boys?

In academia, public policy, and political messaging, yes. With a few exceptions.

> Are you sure you're not getting this stuff from Youtube, and kind of winding yourself up?

I don’t watch YouTube. It doesn’t even really come up in right-wing media, because much of the Trump right is itself a product of the post-family values 1990s. It comes from my own observations of “stuff my liberal parents take as axiomatic that I can’t say among my friends with graduate degrees.”

> Stable two-parent households, high education, and liberalism are all correlated.

That’s true. You have lots of people who preach permissiveness and self fulfillment in public and practice rigid conformity in their own lives. Growing up I reconciled this as the way my parents did: “things it’s okay for Americans to do versus but not for us to do.” I find that suboptimal now.
Indeed.

My SIL was diagnosed with MM. At that time, the life expectancy was 6 mo - 2 years. And then thanks to being at the right place at the right time, she went into 5 separate clinical trials and lived 10 years. But then very suddenly, it returned and she was dead in a matter of weeks.
One difference might be that when you self-host, you are more sensitive of some of the risks, whereas a hosting service might be balancing that risk with a need to scale, and their appetite for risk and tradeoff considerations might be different from yours. It might be that these companies know something that their customers don't, and thus are more willing to take on risks.

In this case, it seems like the company took a risk and it did not go well. The possibility of being able to restore from backups might have been factored into this risk, but the latency of doing so might not have been.

As someone who went from an iPhone 7 Plus to a 13 mini, I see GP’s point. 13 mini is certainly a better phone. Better cameras, better battery life, bigger screen but smaller device. But I could see why someone would say this “isn’t worth keeping up with” and not “big leaps.” My 7 Plus photos were fine. It did everything I needed to do. On a daily basis the only benefit for me is that 13 mini is smaller.

It was definitely worth the price to me but I see why someone would say it’s not a big leap. And 7 to 13 is many years worth of upgrades.
It really makes you appreciate the old-timers. Back when I started we already had computerized exposure control (my first camera was a Canon AE-1 Program). While it was primitive compared to what we have today, it was light years ahead of the old equipment. But damn! Keeping everything dust-free was a real PITA, especially when every time you loaded a new roll of film, changed a lens, or even took the cap off a lens presented a new opportunity for dust to get somewhere it wasn't wanted! Then after getting all the fates to align to make it that far the film gets dust on it while drying after being processed. Aargh! It seemed to me half of photography was about battling dust.

> This means that whenever we decide to throw the switch to multi-threaded WebAssembly, essentially no code needs to change as all of our logic is already written in a concurrent-friendly manner. We simply reap the benefits of a multi-threaded runtime on the Web.

In a multithreaded wasm app, do all threads have equal access to the DOM, or is it more like JS where there is a UI thread which can access all APIs and a bunch of worker threads which can only access a more limited set of APIs?

If the latter, has anyone sought to expose that constraint to the Rust type system? e.g. via a capabilities object that's neither Sync nor Send

This is definitely true. I've been a terminal guy for many years so its easy for me to recommend while I already have the muscle memory. It might be an uncomfortable few weeks, but I still argue that learning a new language or framework is MUCH harder than learning keybindings, coreutils, and shell operators.

No. The basic assumption is only, that if I pay somebody money for the service and to keep things running, then sudden data loss is unacceptable (and a multi week downtime even more so).

I said most cultures in Africa don't have a flood myth, not that no cultures in Africa have a flood myth. The Wikipedia entry you quoted starts "Although the continent has relatively few flood legends".

There are many more than five cultures in Africa. Any suggestion of a universal common source must explain why those other cultures don't have a flood myth. Including Japan.

(Here's a more complete list of flood myths: http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/flood-myths.html Compare the number in Africa to the number from Central America.)

My father died recently from sudden illness at a really very advanced age -- with some problems from dementia that never really got to the worst possible. I lost my mother to one of the worst cancers possible when I was much younger (again suddenly but in the process of a long terminal diagnosis).

So I half want to upvote you both for the points you're making about variable, unpredictable survival times after diagnosis, and half want to hug you both in sympathy for the way you lost your fathers. That must have been rough and I hope you have found the support you needed.

I used Etsy a few times to buy art paintings. Back then there were certainly a few high-profile sellers who kept showing up with the same stuff again and again. Not necessarily anything wrong with what they were doing, but I don't need to see it over and over again...

Here in the Czech Republic, the national postal service does offer a "digital snail-mail" or "bureaucratic email" and it's used for official communication by government branches, insurance companies and some big companies. Nobody wants to use it for simple receipts, because messages are paid. A centralised service like this from a traditional company (so no VC-backed company with a generous free tier) just can't compete against the "simplicity" of sending email.
My dog also does nothing when not prompted, and he seems to be surviving just fine.
That was their position once NATO had expanded eastward.

Here's an extract from a NATO report[0] in 2000. The whole chapter is genuinely worth a read:

> Nevertheless, in August 1994, Boris Yeltsin again said to the reporters, that Russia could join NATO in due course. Then, during 6-7 years, this question was not raised by the Russian political elite and the mass media. The main reason for that was NATO’s expansion to the East...

Russia actually has a long history of wanting to join [1]

100% This is not about NATO.

This is about Russia attempting a genocide of the Ukrainian people.

This is not the first time Russian state attempted such a thing. Holodomor was an engineered famine with the intent of destroying Ukraine. And now they are at it again https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holodomor

Generally as a state Russia is just horrible to all of the nations at it's borders it feels it has enough force to subjugate.

They are not idiots - they realize NATO would never invade Russia.

However, what NATO would have done, is give Ukrainian so much force projection capability within their territory Russia could never threaten them militarily again.

This about a narcissistic bully wanting to subjugate as many people by fear under it's thumb as possible.
The first problem with MF scans is that it is hard to mount film so it is completely flat. If it is not flat, it cannot be in-focus from edge to edge. 35mm is smaller and has wider borders (where the sprocket holes go) and so this is much less of a problem with 35mm. There are various techniques and tricks to get MF flat, like using tape, using glass, or wet-mounting. Tape might not work in your film mounts at all, depending on construction.

The next problem is that your film has to be held in the focal plane of your scanner. There are film mounts which let you adjust the film height with screws, and some scanners have focus adjustments (usually automatic, I think).

Next, you will want to enable the IR channel for chromogenic film (including B&W chromogenic, like Ilford XP2) and disable it for non-chromogenic film. Generally speaking, I would use one of the aftermarket scanning software packages like VueScan or SilverFast. You can save the IR channel as alpha and use it to remove dust later.

Do tests to find out the actual resolution to scan at.

My experience with flatbeds like the Epson V600 is that you can get very good results, but you are getting like half the resolution MF film actually provides and the image is less clean than it could be. For 35mm it is not hard to find “film scanners” that let you feed slides or strips of 35mm and get better results. For MF, flatbed is as good as it gets until you go to like an Imacon (expensive, IMO not that much better than a good flatbed) or drum scanner (best results, maybe $30 per scan).

In the lab, you focus the enlarger carefully using a “grain focuser”, use a high-quality lens for your enlarger which has enough covers for your film size, set it to a middling aperture (tiny apertures affect focus), and you can get sharp, sharp prints for less than the cost of getting that same sharpness in the digital domain.
I think one can't compare deep learning to machine learning since they have different purposes. While there have been great strides in the interpretability of NNs, the analytic models of classical machine learning are favored from a computational and interpretability perspective. Conversely, if the relationships in our data are constantly evolving (e.g. the change in the stochastic process followed by a time-series from one interval to another), then NNs are more appropriate.

One of the biggest problem I have with WebAudio API is managing nodes. The API is extremely verbose, when you consider that anything interesting will need to be composed of dozens of basic nodes combined in different ways.

You're given a very basic set of primitive nodes, from which you can construct pretty much anything else. But those things you construct will never be "nodes" themselves. You can't create synthetic nodes or subclass node types. But then many of the basic nodes are useful on their own. So you end up in a bind of having two different provenance branches of audio "node-like" things and need to know which is which before you can connect any one of Column A to any other of Column B, or vice versa.

You're also on your own in terms of keeping track of those connections. Once a node is connected to another node, there is no in-API way of telling what nodes a node is connected to, or what nodes connect to a given node. There's a whole, huge, potentially cyclical graph structure sitting around in memory that you can manipulate but never inspect.

With how hard everything is to keep track of what is where, you can easily end up in a situation where old, now-disconnected or unused nodes stay resident in memory and never get garbage collected. Some developers then punt on tracking connections at all and expect the user to reload the page if there is a major change in audio setup (coughcoughGoogleOmnitonecoughcough).

So when people talk about how Web-based gaming really hasn't taken off or replaced the haunting specter of Adobe Flash, and then point at WebGL as the problemm, I kind of laugh. WebGL is the least of your worries.

Anyway.

Elementary Audio seems to end-run around all that by A) only letting you declaritively define your audio setup, and B) running everything in a single Audio Worklet, thereby bypassing the majority of the Web Audio API.

Some of the Ancient Greek philosophers believed that the Sun, and not the Earth, is in the center. For example Aristarchus of Samos and Seleucus of Seleucia.

However, the main problem with most of the achievements of the Ancient Greek Philosophy is that, unlike for logic and mathematics, for theories about natural objects they did not have good methods to determine which of several alternative theories is right.

So in the natural sciences there are a lot of questions about which some Ancient Greek philosophers have guessed the correct answer while others have guessed wrong.

Now we know who was right and who was wrong, but at that time this was non-obvious and in most cases the popularity of the alternative explanations was determined more by the rhetoric skill of their supporters than by their agreement with the observations of nature.

Even when the agreement with observations was actually checked, the methods of measurement were seldom precise enough to allow a non-ambiguous decision between 2 theories.

This also applies to the heliocentric theory and the geocentric theory. Both theories had their supporters, but in the end the geocentric theory became the main theory for almost 2 millennia because it happened to be the theory chosen by Hipparchus and then improved by Ptolemy.

Ptolemy made a more detailed kinematic model of the movements of the bodies in the Solar System, which agreed better with the observations of the planets than all the earlier models, so those were abandoned until Copernicus revived the heliocentric model.
