The whole point of the article is that the benefits are actually enormous.

I think we also need to consider other, less obvious bullets here, namely suicide, or even just a less happy and fulfilling life. Kids have been getting less happy year over year in America and while there are likely many reasons, I strongly believe the inability to be independent is one. I won’t claim to know the best age to let kids wander a city street (and it likely depends on the neighborhood), but when you let them out on their own, you also potentially prevent suicide, something that’s far more likely to kill a kid than a stranger.

We build on a patch of land that used to be small workshop removing paint from furniture and the like. The shop operated way back in the 70s and 80s, as far as I know. Well, at least long enough ago that just dumping all the chemicals used in the backyard. That backyard is now our garden. We were obliged to conduct soil analysis. So, overall the soil was:

1. Super expensive to get rid of, the only "recycling" site willing to take it was 150 km away. Luckily, we managed to convince the construction company to only transport the bare minimum. The reminder was moved to the front and is now sitting under the car port

2. The contamination is bad enough to be illegal for a kindergarden or play ground, but good enough for a general park

3. covering it up with 50 cm of clean stuff gets it "kindergarden" legal, 75 cm get it good for growing crops. So we have a front half of the garden where we plant flowers and such and a back half were vegetables and herbs and so grow.

Depends on how much you want to grow, this is potential solution. And it also more gentle for your back: a Hochbeet (German, that's what t looks like:https://www.amazon.de/s?k=hochbeet&adgrpid=1199567838429561&...)

Damn easy to build yourself in any size you desire, it's basically an open box, on the bottom and top, of weather resistant hard wood (so don't buy on Amazon!). You fill the bottom with old branches and other pieces of wood, then you multiple layers of earth. You have to top it up so every other spring. And put it some stones to get the wood away from the moisture of the ground.
It looks like you have some deep traumas or unsolved psychological issues that you should address first.

It’s very easy and tempting to blame “stupid people around” for your loneliness (I’ve been there).

If you’re really curious as you say, then there can’t be boring environment for you.

That is very simple and beautiful website. Author did a great job both aesthetically and technically.

I wonder if its a Framework like hugo or is it custom built?
If my neighbor streams a movie from Netflix and I download a Linux ISO at the same time, there's no reason why the ISP should be allowed to charge extra from my neighbor or from Netflix, but not charge me or the guy hosting the Debian mirror.

Netflix, the Debian mirror, my neighbor and I are all paying for our connections. If we saturate the agreed-upon bandwidth then the ISP's could offer to sell more bandwidth. If we don't, then it's up to the ISP's to fulfill their part of the bargain.

Imagine if Office 365 started charging email senders for storage, not recipients people were using all the storage they pay for, but because Microsoft oversold their product and didn't want to invest in new storage servers.
Google unveils a simpler way for European users to reject cookies
How does he know his wife isn't a corporate or Russian spy sent to exfiltrate his passwords and company data?

And now that he has a son, maybe a mortgage, a wife, a reputation - all of these things are liabilities that could be used against him. Better to never have anything at all than to open yourself to ransom.

A true security engineer:

- Is unbribeable(has no earthly desires and 100% loyalty to thing he is securing)
- Has nothing of value to ransom
- Has no fixed living address(it could be targeted by missile or drone strikes and needs to be defended 24/7 in case malicious agents plant spy bugs while you're out shopping)
- Makes his own computers by melting down and reforging raw sand, boron, copper, and aluminum. (You can't be certain the NSA didn't detour your new Amazon.com laptop and plant bugs in it.)

You can be a passable average one without doing all these, but you'll never be the best.
The relative DK effect not to exist would require clairevoyance from the participants. The non relative dk effect is more interesting.
I've since given a bit more thoughts on this - Part B question 3 and 4, from Fig.3 on the paper, asks only whether the sentence sound natural and (technically) correct, without specifying context, that the sentence is supposed to be an utterance spoken to a voice assistant. From my own comment above:

3046: "I really want to eat Chinese right now, is it okay if I order some delivered"
14556: "Please update stock price for this company"
15414: "There will have to be a manager"

These are all context errors. What is not widely acknowledged(as I'd like...) is that translations for short sentences like "I need to see the manager" are situational, beyond depending on tones and politeness. Consider following:

- I have complaints as a customer, and *I need to see the manager*.
- I need to escalate this issue, and *I need to see the manager*.
- You asked what I am about to do, and *I need to see the manager*.
- "The manager" is a dashboard app, and *I need to see the manager*.

I won't list my translations because I've already dumped way too much CJK characters here, but each of above four should turn up differently against each others from organic translators(especially the last one).
My company offers exactly this kind of product. We’re currently offering it to institutional investors, but if you’re interested, would love to talk and discuss your use case. My email is my username at alum dot MIT dot edu.
It doesn't matter if you have read them or not, because they could have changed the ToS 30 mins later to be something completely different and it is assumed you agreed to that too.
Well, some people claim that non-Server Windows can't ever be used in a server role, even with third-party software, and that you need a CAL for every person connecting to third-party software on Windows Server, so it's at least possible.

And, indeed, Apple does have a similar clause in their EULA: https://www.apple.com/legal/sla/docs/macOSMonterey.pdf

> Except as otherwise permitted by
the terms of this License or otherwise licensed by Apple: (i) only one user may use the Apple Software at
a time, and (ii) you may not make the Apple Software available over a network where it could be run or
used by multiple computers at the same time

It's of course debatable whether, say, using the built-in file sharing counts as "making the Apple Software available", doubly so for third-party servers, but that's exactly the argument some of those Microsoft licencing people are making.
Hardware Acceleration in Robotics #6

K-9 Mail really is the grandfather of powerful E-mail apps, but I have switched to Spark a few years back when it became available for Android and never looked back. It's just a breeze to use. Sure, I have some gripes with it, but I really like the Google Inbox style of organizing my mail and keeping my inbox tidy.
How did you find out only around 1.8% are viewed?
I do have a commonname@web.de and a *@mydomain catchall email addressed. Years ago I had my own email server on mydomain, but I got up to 30k spam per month which pushed me into abandoning my own email server and instead let Google be my MX, and forwarding the web.de mails to it.

Google is very successful in rejecting spam before acknowledging its reception via SMTP (probably mostly via IP blacklist) so I don't see it, the amount of spam shrank drastically.
For a very long time a lot of spam came via icq@mydomain (yes, it has been a while), but nowadays almost all spam that I see comes via the @web.de address where Google cannot apply its IP blacklist because its received via web.de's servers. I know because the mydomain email server also used to forward received mails to Google, resulting in said 30k entries in the spam folder. The transition to put Google itself in the DNS record made all the difference.

I am kind-of surprised I don't see more spam coming via the catchall address. Sometimes spammers use mydomain with random local part as sender address, so I get bounces.
Potentially this[1]:

> Under EU law, standard contract terms must not:

There might be a more specialized law/regulation though. The EU is pretty bad with their public relations stuff so it's hard to tell.

In addition to that it would also require same pinout for stuff connected microcontroller. If pinout differs then most of work will have to be redone anyway and it doesn't matter nearly as much whether it's Attin48, any other AVR microcontroller or maybe even completely different microcontroller as long as toolchain is reasonably available and easy to use.
JS is popular because it's literally the only language web browsers support.

Python is popular because it's very beginner oriented, so it's the first language a lot of people learn. It's modern BASIC.

Neither of those things mean that writing dynamically typed code is a good idea. The idea that you can write dynamically typed code faster isn't even true once you get past a couple of hundred lines.
Well, so far I've seen it SCM (professionally), you see it in sports basically every weekend (we have close to 80 million national soccer coaches in Germany), I've seen it in boxing (I'm nowhere near to number 2 there anymore, but usually novices come with no idea, then they think are good until someone shows them "nah, you still don't know how to box")... So I guess it is the same everywhere in any domain.
That’s interesting.

The hacky-developer option I’m after is the ability to cull pieces of code if they do not type check, I guess.
But is DK not explicitly about assessing yourself and not about assessing others?
I feel like being able to critique the performance of others is different from being able to critique yourself. There might be a correlation between the two, but they're not the same.
Differentiable Neural Computer
This study held calorie intake constant, so it supports the standard "calories-in/calories out" model.

However, many claim that reducing calorie intake is much easier under TRE, so that's something else that could be studied.
Sure, it's an interesting question, but if the way you're measuring it can't be distinguished from noise, you need to find a different measure.
Oooo looks nice. I'm going to try it.
I didn't say "with compile-time languages" but "with compile-time type systems". And many similar tools in a statically typed language will necessarily create a way to have one static type that doesn't care what the data inside actually looks like.

This even starts with basic Numpy and handling tensor objects. It's not easy for a type checker to understand what operations you can do with what shape of tensor. Worse, most often you don't know (or want to know) some of the dimensions or even dimensionality of some of the objects. Then it is impossible to check all of this at compile time.
Third US defence department official resigns, warning US risks losing tech edge
I am wondering of the effect of breathing through all these high tech masks for 2 years now.
I would measure the efficacy of PR as the difference between perception and reality. The amount people are disappointed by revelations demonstrates the extent of that difference. Germany has always been like this and the disappointments are recent. I would say that the Anglo-sphere has better PR, it is an essential part of maintaining an empire, but people tend to know that the Anglo-sphere is highly active in PR so it comes as less of a surprise.

The entire "made ridiculously simple" series is fantastic, it's run by a retired MD professor who basically drew cartoons to help learn on his way through med school and throughout his career as a professor.
To anyone who enjoys this black and white dithered art, I recommend checking out the old MacVenture games:

Déjà Vu, Uninvited, Shadowgate, and Déjà Vu II. [1]

They are all classic point-click adventure games played in first person perspective. Lots of intrigue, some horror (Uninvited and Shadowgate), weird music, good writing. Very fun games!

I believe they can all be played in the browser though a classic Mac emulator on archive.org [2].

It's likely big neural nets, looking at the weights won't tell you much. What you can use instead to find biases is the training data, especially what sort of data the explicitly exclude/include. It's unlikely Twitter releases that.

I am 100% sure I will never fall for a scam where I am told to read a code SMS'd to me back to them, because I that is just an action I will never do.
Absolutely beautiful and almost tear-inducing.
Agreed. So far we cannot change the human condition, we can only influence the environment, but I am not sure how much, given the complexity.
I agree, although even devs with no people skills could even do better than those sales people or managers. They could hear customers pain points, clear goals on what to optimize for (revenue, clickthrough, etc) and then build some nice data science product within a reasonable timeframe.

But you usually have these proxy people, who then have to do countless internal meetings to figure out what to actually do, imposing extra ordinary requirements and work hours and that’s why we have all these posts with people hating meetings, burning out and switching fields. If only the middle management and product was tech educated and oriented..
Breakages of userspace are almost always unintended consequences. I don't have examples to the contrary, but I believe that intentional breakages and redesigns are almost unthinkable because of Linus's rule.

Significant changes in the kernel already often need years to land because of the multitude of configurations and interfaces that have to be supported. And even longer to deprecate and remove. Not necessarily a bad thing, just the price of success.

Large-scale breakages like the Wayland transition affect the whole Desktop Linux ecosystem, and are just an example of what mayhem fundamental changes can cause.
I live in Belgium, didn't inherit millions from family and am in the middle working class. I'll stay in this working class, this is how it has been conceived, I'll never make millions. Once I understood and accepted this, I managed to work only 4 days a week and live more than finely with this salary. Work is only there to get my living wage, I detached completely from work life, I chat with colleague, I do what I'm supposed to do, nothing less, nothing more, I play cards and read a lot, then my 7h50 workday is over and I go on with my real life: my son, my car, my hobbies, my friends. THIS is what counts.

A lot of rendering is vector based these days and uses webgl to do it but there are still a lot of tile servers using images as well. This article is from 2015. Vector maps were less common then and webgl was a lot less mature.

For example maplibre is a great option for rendering vector based openstreet maps from e.g. maptiler or mapbox. They can tilt the maps, render buildings in 3D, have step less zooming, etc.
My real surname isn't a common one, so I went ahead and grabbed mysurname@gmail.com in March 2004 when Evan Williams sent me a Gmail invite. But my surname is English and one that is predominately found in the UK, Canada, Ireland, South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand. So I sometimes get invoices, signups, verifications, and other junk from someplace in Australia and those other English-speaking countries. I've also found it's a waste of time to correct it. Once an address is "out there" in the wild, it's going to get passed around.
Interesting that there's still smalltalk in such a job. I always imagined that fitting into a specific image of an ideal person/worker is a burden that you have to carry in white-collar corporate jobs, while in low-end menial jobs you can just be your own grumpy self if you want to be, as nobody gives a damn as long as you get the job done. It was even portrayed in one episode of Black Mirror, where a truck driver was the only person free to express herself (because there was nothing she could lose, her job was not desirable).
Sure but that often isn't enough because it doesn't tell you which commit actually made the change.
Great work Amazon Web Services (AWS)! I am already waiting for V3.... Wish list:

- Pay per transaction (Reads, Writes) + Storage, instead of per resource allocation (some competitors are offering this already).

- No need for VPC, just like DynamoDB does today.

- Multi-region sync replication (no data loss in case a region goes down), but on a per-table base.

- Self-tuning capabilities, like ottertune and postgres.ai

- Unlimited Fast Database Cloning copies for non-production environments (COW)

- Transparent connection pooler (useful when using Lambda)
This incentivizes creation of artificial scarcity to squeeze more money.

The entire industry is built on free peering unless traffic is very asymmetric for the most part.

This is analogous to converting existing lanes to express lanes on highways, people are not going to pay if there is no congestion. The city makes more money removing a lane from regular use and also not investing further on road expansion / alternative routes.
That's the way it works in Ruby with RBS, and it will work the same way in JavaScript should Microsoft's proposal for type hints make it into ECMAScript[1].

Not exactly the same, but I did some work a while back retrofitting 8bit pngs as DEMs with non-linear elevation profiles (in the days when Mapbox only supported 8bit dem uploads). This allowed for fine detail in the range I was most interested in and coarser detail elsewhere. I was also working below sea level, so the standard models weren't suitable. I used gdal and node for the encode to PNG (from high res geotiffs) and then leant on mapbox expressions for the custom decode on the front end. Looked cool and file size was reasonable. Tho I'm certain much cooler things are now possible with 16 bit encode and the new terrain API.

Edit: a link to a mapbox-gl-js discussion on the use of custom dems/encodings (after which anything is possible): https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-gl-js/issues/10775
The worst thing about earning money is the stage where no you longer spend based on reason, but instead based on capital potential. The housing bubble has been building and building and building flames fumed by apparent risk-free-Xing your net worth.

Its a house of cards. When you have 20 properties, you are 20x'ing your risk of getting the lemon. My uncle started down this path 30 years ago and eventually got royally screwed. Its a chain, this choice of investment chains you to a wage.
Also add lightweight solar panels to the hull (they exist as foil already) and you might have something economically in sunny areas.
> this is not a limitation of the type system, but of a specific type checker (mypy), that will hopefully be fixed soon

> Sure, but that's just because the standard library (for now?) doesn't offer deserialization with runtime validation.

> it's just the tooling that is lagging a bit behind at the moment

So… the standard library has exactly the problem I articulated, and you’re violently agreeing while speaking down to me.

I think that reflects poorly on you.

> The anti-intellectual, anti-scientific streak in many poor analyses claiming to debunk some scientific research is deeply concerning in our society.

People endlessly reference the Dunning-Kruger effect as a meme, without ever having read the paper, let alone having checked its methods. You don't seem to have a problem with that.

On the other hand, after seeing an article that uses essentially statistical arguments to debate a scientific study you conclude that there is some "anti-intellectual, anti-scientific streak" in our society and that it should be of grave concern.

This doesn't make any sense except as an extreme case of virtue-signaling.

I "fail to understand" something you actually never did or experienced, right? I know that a lot of companies are maintaining large Python codebases, and the "lack of typechecking" might be one of the biggest pain points, but the total pain is a lot less. That was always my experience and most people who say differently haven't actually used Python that ...

I know that Typescript helped me over Javascript. I don't get that benefit from Mypy yet, but the "pain" just isn't as great as it was with JS. And I've seen what inexperienced programmers do when a static typecheckers try to force or encourage them to do the right thing. It's not necessarily the right thing, just a lot more complicated than it needs to be.
Proof is in the pudding. PRC has not initiated another crisis since '96, Taiwan US relations are much closer than 30 years ago and have crossed many of the PRCs red lines, and the US military capabilities have not been standing still either. Looks like cooler heads have prevailed, which is good news for all three parties.

> I think there's two extremes here. One is the issue covered well above. There is a great deal of junk science that gets published.

It's more than that, I think. Sibling-thread poster hit the nail on the head when he complained of politicised science.

The social sciences have this dominating and silencing effect on the rest of the sciences.

There's always been junk science, and when found out it gets discredited. This is still happening and is a good thing.

What's new is that any research that might produce results counter to the what the PC-mob deems acceptable is attacked. Whether or not there is consensus amongst researchers in that field is irrelevant when the mob calls for the firing of any researcher who doesn't toe the current political party-line.

Sure, we're not actually in the dark ages, but a trend of silencing voices in the name of purity of thought is particularly troubling, especially as the mob asking for this is unashamedly attempting to implement NewsSpeak[1].
