It almost always refers to a perfect fifth, optionally with the octave on top. It's a very easy thing to play with two or three fingers, either on guitar or keyboard.
Once you decide to do that the question becomes do you get more new signups that customers you pissed off. Anyone's guess...I unsubscribed from Netflix long ago when I could barely find anything in there that wasn't dystopian grimdark.
But assuming it wasn't a PON back then and was direct fibre to each house, the cost of the CPE would have been absolutely enormous back in the 90s and 2000s. The copper network would have been ripped out.

Instead of ADSL in the early 2000s (which was "fine") you'd have had catastrophically expensive active fibre equipment which would have made broadband completely unaffordable for the masses. I can guarantee everyone would be saying what a complete mistake this white elephant fibre network was when ADSL would have been a fraction of the price.

If you'd had a PON network there is no way that they would have planned the network in the 80s like you do now for FTTH. The segments would have been enormous and completely overcontended in the 2000s bandwidth boom. It would have required extremely expensive network reconfiguration to split the PONs down - the fibres would be going to the wrong place.

This is approaching the end game of what happens when "deep tech" or "business translator" types that have no actual technical education but "get it" because they understand a parable or analogy about something get too much away.

It's almost like a vertical integration to be able to control the whole value chain of BS instead of having to find legit sources to cite. Somehow this has shades of Enron or Theranos, where a non-specialist's misconception of an idea results in a gigantic scam.

In some ways, at least those people are mostly just genuinely ignorant. The folks like the faculty they have lined up presumably know better, but are still going along with it.
I must agree. Above 10Mbps quite honestly even in the current time and age it does not make a difference for my use cases. As long as it is consistent it does not change my life if it where 200Mbps or 1Gbps. We currently have 50 Mbps down which is very consistent and even during Corona has not failed more than once a month for a couple minutes. All that at a rate of sub 30€.

Comparing that to the fiber offerings starting at 80€ and up i do not see the use case right now.

Does it make sense to deploy fiber in new construction and when upgrades are due anyway... Of course! But blaming governments to not magically forseeing which standard of technology would have great utility in a technology coming to life later is ludicrous.
I finally settled on this but it wasn’t easy either.

I had to create:

- an artifact repository and a Docker repository, because cloud run refuses to run images from a different repository

- a service account (in a completely different section)

- add the correct role on the account, in yet another section

- retrieve the password, the username and url of the Docker repo (I had to read blog articles to find these)

- and then finally push my image.

Configuring the container was easy after that, but I haven’t found yet how to configure continuous deployment from my CI pipeline. I guess I’ll have to use the gcp cli but it doesn’t seem obvious how to do it.
> 1. The copper from your home to the exchange.

Also, 1A - the equipment at each end of the copper. The CLEC owned the CPE and the DSLAM, the only thing which is the same for any provider would be the copper itself.

I just saw someone on Twitter post a "IntegerType" class which did exactly this, including capturing the sign -- because he couldn't trust int().
Honest question: what's the point of type hinting without type checking?

I must be mistaken, but I always thought "type hinting" was a synonym of "optional type annotations". But if you're not using those annotations for actual type checking at some point, what are they good for?
Man, the idea that type hints reduce read-ability are crazy to me. It's like if someone told me that they think comments make code less readable.

Like, even if you think that type hints have ugly syntax, prior to them vast most projects just didn't bother with documenting the shape of data, so you had to read source code, guess and experiment. Unless you just don't care about knowing what you're specifically working with (which strikes me as living on the edge), how is it not an ergonomics gain?
I tired using celluloid which is a gnome wrapper around mpv, but it stopped working. Running it on the command line, I'm prompted with an exception and admonished that wayland support is 'experimental' and known to be unstable.

$180??? That's highway robbery. I hadn't heard about it until I read this article and I was guessing it cost around $40
Rebol is seriously cool and criminally overlooked on HN. Unlike TCL, it didn't survive to the same extent. There is the whole Red effort (very cool), but I'm not sure if they'll get there. I wish them the best of luck though.
Python's type system is a disappointment, but I don't think this article does a great job of explaining why. My biggest gripes:

1. There is no way to get typing like dataclasses without writing your own mypy plugin. The syntax is simply not expressive enough to do it. This means that if you want to be productive with a library like Pydantic, you also have to add the mypy plugin to your dependencies and add it to your mypy config. Otherwise, no typing.

2. You cannot compose types. There is no way to say "hey this type is the same as this dictionary here, except the keys are all optional." If you're trying to type a RESTful API, your only option is to repeat yourself and carefully keep all your types in sync.

3. To this day, there is still no way to express optional keys. Not "Optional" keys, but keys that can be left out of your dictionary. The closest you can get is this weird hack where you can set `total=False` in your TypedDict, which makes all keys optional.

I really wish Python learned from Typescript, but it's too late at this point. Too many half-baked measures have already made it into the spec.
Just like Best Buy Geek squad are not all actual computer geeks, I think the companies could argue this is just puffery. If I were a genius would I be working at a retail store counter?
Huh? They've already pulled money out and banked a historic return for their fund. In fact one of their partners whose investment thesis is based on publicly-documented logically flimsy claims [0] was #1 on this year's Midas List because he made $3B for his LPs.

My point is that since they're drinking their own kool-aid, they're not securing the bag / leaving the poker table right now, a time I believe is close to peak crypto bubble (although the bubble could also plausibly last another 5 years and inflate another 5x). They're Leeroy Jenkinsing another $3.5B right now [1] which I think they're at high risk of losing and tanking the IRR of the combined funds.

> vlc crashes under wayland and it takes the entire OS with it. I haven't discovered any smoking guns, but I assume it's some sort of OOM issue

As someone already pointed out, VLC doesn't support wayland natively, so it's running under Xwayland. Ironically the issue could very well be X related.
You probably doomscroll and fall victim to ragebaiting without even realizing it. I know I do.
I'm surprised there's no mention of pydantic or other type systems. I started with type hints, and find that the discipline of using types invaluable, especially when coding public API backends for which validation is a strong necessity, whether semi-static (ala mypy) or runtime.
People have been saying stuff like "even a CRC would make attacks impractical" for decades, and what all they've managed to accomplish is an obstacle course for early-career academic cryptographers. Which, by all means, carry on: it produces great papers, and it's a great way to get new people into the field. But if you care about security, your ciphertext needs to be authenticated.

Which brings me back to: all secure encryption expands the size of the ciphertext. If you're using XTS in a new design, you are doing something very wrong.
Yeah, so do I. I mentioned in my other comment that I do not use it because of lack of 64-bit support and whatnot. If they do get there, and I could replace my Rebol 3 programs with Red, then I will switch to it. As for Rebol 3, I use https://github.com/Oldes/Rebol3.

For what it is worth, people ought to check out the Rebol cookbook. It is full of amazing stuff. So easy to implement somewhat complicated things. I am seriously wondering why it is not more popular. I would say a lot has to do with the fact that it has been open sourced too late (should have been open to begin with, IMO), and that there are too many different, but somewhat alike implementations[1]. It is confusing to a newcomer. They do not know what to use, why, and if it actually is under active development and will continue to be.

The frustrating thing is that users do care, at least up to a point. There have been success stories in the modern era where a well-designed, well-executed product has dethroned a long-standing incumbent (or at least provided credible competition despite being David against Goliath) and the slick presentation seems likely to have been a competitive advantage. There's no shortage of complaints about sites or apps with poor design either.

However we know that most users will prioritise other aspects, such as functionality or security, over aesthetics. If the advantages of a nice design are purely cosmetic and don't also improve factors like the usability of an app or the credibility of a marketing site then that's probably going to be less important than missing some key feature the user wants or lacking the network effects that existing products in the market have established or convincing a potential customer that you're trustworthy before they had over their card details.
Why would the newly installed board be allowed to allow a merger with such a low number?

This seems to be the root problem, and it can happen in other scenarios when a coalition controls 51% of the shares. The law needs to protect the minority shareholders.

This poison pill “solution” is just theft.
Not yet. It is quite a bit rough around the edges and far from production use. Besides, it will require creation of multiple tables/column for each schema type (i.e. github schema might conflict with gitlab schema). As such, we decided to flatten the JSONs and use map data type and have our own SQL layer that translates the queries to underlying ClickHouse queries. This allows us to add a lot of syntactic sugar e.g. https://docs.dassana.cloud/docs/query/intro

We might start using that feature in future.
I always thought the UK was pretty ahead in the early 2000s because we dug up all the streets to install cable and got reasonable speeds for the time that way. Virgin was like 10 quid a month back then IIRC. And that was pretty much nation wide but some odd places didn’t get it.
I mean, there's a third, the video game nerd who can afford a $180 toy. The fact that you get 24 games from well known indie developers makes it an easier pill to swallow.

I might get a second revision of this. It's neat, but it needs a backlight.
I love mypy. It's fine, if sometimes a little alarming when you aim it at a previously-untyped codebase. In my case, it turned up plenty of type errors that probably never became a problem in production, but very well could've. It's also a nice thing to put in a CI pipeline to block new code errors.
I heard that CNN+ had fewer viewers than small Indy news people on YouTube.

Except for Democracy Now and (sort of) PBS, I am so disappointed by the main news corporations. I remember when the news covered multiple points of view and was generally interesting.

I am also tired of most of the small independent news bloggers, YouTubers, etc. because they suffer from the same illness: talking to their own bubble.

Text console is ASCII. Xorg speaks UTF-8 fluently. Just set LC_CTYPE=cs_CZ.UTF-8 in .xsession or equivalent (locale -a) and you're good to go.
"high-risk, high-reward" science sounds great, until you suddenly have a replication crisis on your hands. Big, exciting results already attract more attention than good, careful, journeyman science, despite generally being, well, wrong.
I've worked with two companies now that are getting raked over the coals by their payment processor because they gave up control of storage of credit card numbers to save on pci compliance costs but now they have no leverage over transaction fees. One projected they were gonna lose 18% of their customers is they did a hard switchover so they're transferring people over super slow.

I've worked with tokenizers before, but they're, uhhh... Old as balls and terrible. Who the hell uses SOAP requests anymore?!?

It's nice to see someone attacking this with modern tech.
But Congress is part of the government. So it's hamstringing itself. It's the same line of thought when some large dinosaur of a company purchases a startup. "Welp, startup is going to suck in 2 years." It's not the startup's fault, but to the consumer it's still going to suck. It doesn't really matter why.
Do you know any other projects not mentioned?

Do you have a preference for those on the list and why?
Now we have `winget install VideoLAN.VLC` :)

> You can veto the .DS_Store files. The consequence to Mac users is that the Finder won't remember any display changes they make to windows that correspond to network folders.

Good. Why would one user's view preferences have an effect on another user? That is what happens if .DS_Store files are left on the server.
Tesla is not about cars. It’s a marketing company and its product is the Tesla share price. This Twitter stunt is just one in a long line of stunts that Musk does to get attention for himself. People invest in Tesla because they want to invest in Musk as an individual.

This media hijacking is similar to the way that Trump got elected in 2016.

I bet that if SpaceX ever went public it would cause Tesla to fall as everybody who wants to invest in “Musk is a genius” would invest in SpaceX instead of Tesla.
I don't see how it compounds. It's just a royalty stream?

It must keep pace with inflation though (I guess through increasing sale price of Listerine over time?)
Interesting.

There are those pre-installed samples there already, they couldn't just be swapped out with an imported file – there's something special about those files?

Anyway I think it's hugely underrated, hopefully you guys can do a v2 sometime. I'm blown away whenever I use it, it feels like a huge technical achievement.
Are we really trying to substitute plastics with less polluting/toxic materials?

Isn't plastic's source the byproduct of fossil fuel generation, and therefore there are still economic incentive to use it somehow, as long as we keep extracting oil?
Maybe it’s time to implement policies that encourage reserve capacity, as we do with some other critical industries.
It embrittles steel, but not aluminum at the temperature/pressure it would be used at for this sort of application.
Because they aren't. A direct war between the US and Russia would rapidly escalate to nuclear, which is a kind of war that can't be won because of mutual destruction.
They could fight each other indirectly in Ukraine, but I wouldn't expect any direct confrontation by their regular armies.
I actually have already done this -- or, rather, helped someone else to do this. The individual in question was an academic with a license for a rather old version of a particular piece of domain-specific software, which would only run on Windows 95/98/ME. As he taught at a small school, his budget wasn't exactly infinite, so he kept an old Windows 98 machine around to run that software.

Turned out, it ran great on Wine. Actually, the performance even improved because the hardware was so much newer.
I had to look up that reference to Gregor Samsa, lol. Btw, I ordered the complete Far side in hardcover immaculate condition that came in 2 giant books for around $50 a few years ago from someone on ebay. For any Gary Larson fans it's a great library addition though it's more like $75-100 these days, and I imagine they'll only get more expensive.
Incumbents will love it and will look at the cost of the mandated software as an insurance fee against future competitors.

Any other user submitted web site will die or never be. Sorry about that.

BTW, are mobile apps not backed by a web site in the scope of that legislation?
How is a grype with static typing that it is not enforced at runtime? This comes up like once a week, have these people never used statically typed languages?

> The fact that you can put nonsensical types wherever you want and still get a working program has consequences.

Working is questionable, but nothing in C++ prevents this at runtime either, nothing in JVM prevents this at runtime, static typing is not runtime typing, it should not be, it is not the USP.

> There is an Any type and it renders everything useless

Java has object, C++/C has void*, Go has interface{} - none of these render the type system useless, and Python's type system makes it a lot easier to write correct code than Go's type system or C's type system.
I stayed up all night wondering where the sun went, then it dawned on me!
Turns out people don't actually want a debate show. Hard to imagine how any for profit company that tries this ends up with anything different.
unrelated about chemical

I keep wondering if there is a way to make a "stomach" that can dissolve plastic/make energy with it, whether directly or as an electrolyte base (add zinc/copper)

I am aware of the bacteria that can eat plastic but too slow
I don't think these are proprietary drives or connectors. I can't see anything there to indicate it is proprietary.

I think Marvell just happens to be the first out with the NVMEoF drive adapter and switch chips.

Kioxia and the switch vendor seem to be first out with the drives and switches using Marvell chips/boards.

I wouldn't be surprised to hear in a year or two that you can buy a NVMEoF switch from a bunch of vendors, and then NVMEoF drives from your choice of drive vendor.

The specifics of advantages over existing solutions I can't speak to except repeating much of what is in the article and video.

I might be placing too much faith in Patrick + STH, but they seem excited, and other times there have been proprietary solutions for things they have pointed it out.
It is good for programmers. Programmers think in many different ways, but it seems to me that a sizable portion of programmers think of code in terms types. Type hinting makes it easy to convey type ideas. Where are we going from which type.

I should say that anecdotally I find type hinting very useful when I'm reviewing a PR from a part of the code I'm not intensely familiar with.
If you're learning the instrument, you'll generally learn them as you progress, starting with beginner material that may have only one or two chords. At some point you will know "many" chords and be possessed to learn more, and may eventually pursue "every" chord.

Any physically realizable fingering on the guitar is a chord. Whether it's useful is another matter. Different permutations of the same notes, in different ranges, is a way to add things like motion and emphasis in the music.

Another way of looking at it is how many chords are you likely to encounter if you get into something like a band or jam session situation, where you're expected to hear a chord and play it. That depends on the musical style, and where the music came from. For instance, tunes that were composed for other instruments might have their own chordal language that results in the same chords cropping up unexpectedly in guitar music.

A lot of folk music has its own "logic" for lack of a better term, based on the mechanics of the instrument.
I dont know enough about it to make a truly informed comment. I've read some pro and some con arguments. I'm more in support of the 'pro' arguments I've read and the 'con' arguments are for things I don't ascribe a lot of value to.
So is it simply a standardized comment then? I will have a really bad time convincing my team mates, if that's the case.

It's especially bad because, like any comment, it can say one thing but the code may do something different (actually happened to me).
They forgot to say 'Breaking News'.
None of these issues constitute a crisis nearly as much as '96 - an alternate interpretation is that the PRC is still terrified of a CSG appearing in the strait so they deliberately do not cross US red lines, even when much closer US/Taiwan relations cross theirs.
Nice, is there a table that lists everything at once? I want to see at a glance what the overall support is.
This is great. I designed a similar system at Simple and it pained me that it never got implemented.
People say that Apple was lost in the 90s. Yet there is/was something special about the kind of art and software that emerged on the platform like this. It was very different to what was available elsewhere, and had a strong "mac culture" feel to it. It's a shame it ended really.

In what way do they lack more teeth than Java with Object, Go with interface{}, C++/C with void*?
