I think the specific problems would-be technologists have in approaching farmers are:

(1) beliefs that farming is simple and farmers are inept

(2) beliefs that the technology they (our facile technologists) know (e.g., robotics, saas, ai, etc) can be shoe-horned into or sprinkled onto agriculture for revolutionary results (at best these things tend to be incremental improvements and at worse they are detrimental).

In general, technologists need to understand agriculture as a global dynamic system in order to understand the opportunities for innovation (there certainly are places where applying robotics or AI or etc can lead to revolutionary results, but it's probably not obvious to someone whose experience with agriculture was an elementary school field trip 30 years ago).
I also thought you were talking about the Air and had made a mistake when you said “pro”. I just totally forgot about that model until you doubled down.
I think you're missing a bunch of massacres and forced relocations as far as how we obtained the land.
Which papers are you referring to?
Ok, here is more transparent picture for ya https://s15.stc.yc.kpcdn.net/share/i/12/10297121/wr-960.webp
I think this is a bummer, birds need exercise in order to stay useful, and when they are no longer flown, the capability to change that decision decays away very quickly for airplanes.

The relevant example here is SOPHIA's predecessor, the Kuiper observatory, which was used up until Sophia came online, then basically set aside and allowed to rot.

This image (1) shows said observatory in 2016, I'm sure it looks even worse by now.

I can only hope that one or both of those birds are put into static display on a museum so we can enjoy them for years to come.

They are unique machines that simply are not created by most private enterprise, and I believe have significant historical value even in the early few years after they are taken out of service, but before they are considered an artifact worth studying for historic value.

In the same way that a 2010 computer is not considered vintage yet (seems like IME, WinXP era is starting to be considered vintage ish), but will be considered vintage in another five or six years, airplanes seem to go through a crucible in between being taken out of active service and being preserved or restored for historic reasons.

In said crucible, the birds need to escape being scrapped or exposed to the elements to rust away from the inside, before people notice that this thing is a survivor and worth preserving.
Please consider applying to the position I posted. Check my comment history, I don't want to pollute this thread.
Sure but most teams do the maths for the cost/benefit ratio and make the call.

In this context the argument is moot: a better app that is too expensive or slow to make is simply not going to be released vs the worse one that actually gets published.

That's all there is to it.

That's why people still use wordpress, excel or jupyter notebooks for important stuff.

You may want things to be different, and for good reasons, but it's still what's the market has decided.
> Setting aside the fact that headless chrome or other browser testbeds do a good job at hiding their presence

It doesn't look like headless chrome, or headed chrome, or any kind of chrome... because there's just requests for one file and no other resources. Chrome would do a lot of other stuff.

Considering the amount of free encryption software, a lot even opensource, where you just add your logo and a pdf with instructions, bundle the source in a zip file somewhere not to break GPL, and you're done, fuckups like these seem more and more intentional to me.

Tech-savy users will always use "the best" tools, but for "normal people", the police having the ability to decrypt their data, is a thing government wants. If the encryption is bundled, they'll use the broken one, because the alternative (googling the software) will usually show them only the software that actually works.

I am a software engineer that loves solving problems with code! I recently built Bastion with a remote team of talented engineers. Bastion is a scalable and customizable backend system deployed with AWS using Docker containers. Check out Bastion's case study: bastion-baas.github.io. Previously, I conducted research in organic chemistry, leading to several peer-reviewed publications and a book chapter.
So, I understand what they intend it to mean (and maybe that wasn't clear from my original message; I work in cybersec). But what you have described is an encryption scheme which meets certain standards (i.e. it is XYZ compliant). I don't think it is justifiable to call that "military grade", and that saying so is a misrepresentation used by marketing folk.
Don't tell me what to do! Besides, there is a million other mountains, and battles to die on.
I get what you’re saying. I didn’t feel overwhelmed by git, but I’d been working with it for a couple of years, so there’s a clear bias. I did run into frustration with other tools, though.

Maybe git, in particular, does deserve some specific focus given its unique status and ubiquity in the industry.
> In most tech companies you can negotiate a lower number of days per week for lesser pay

I don't think most companies will let you. I tried to negotiate this many times in the past for engineers and it was never successful. Even for companies that otherwise were very flexible or knew that a 4 day work week was the only way to afford someone they wanted to hire.

Many tech companies will do this and its worth asking. But most is not really accurate.
Which government? US federal? State? County? City?

Part of the fun of the internet is that it is really international so I'd expect it to interoperate with Canada, France, Ukraine, etc. What if people from Barcelona want a Catalan e-mail address?
But...but...there's nothing private investors and the free market can't do!

Seriously, who thought that science for profit would net the best results for the collective benefit?

You take science but replace truth with profit as the ultimate objective. I'm sure that's going to work well.

The day we stop seeking profit in endeavors that can only be pursued properly at a complete economic loss, we're going to solve so many problems at once.
> The food supply will be more resilient when farming gets smaller, simpler, and more distributed

Will it? In my area the main agricultural products are apples, dairy products, beef, wheat, and potatoes, because those are the things that my area's climate and geology support. I can already buy those things cheaply and readily and they are farmed efficiently and widely by very large operations. How does farming get more resilient when individual farms get smaller? Smaller farms, by definition, have higher overheads because they benefit less from economy of scale, right? Logistics get more expensive for a zillion small actors, equipment and maintenance is a larger slice of the overall operation, smaller operations have less efficient access to capital, etc...
If you've ever taken apart a ThinkPad, you would notice that inside is a metal frame to support the entire laptop body. It's not plastic. Plus, this ThinkPad (and the newer ThinkPads in general) have a metal exterior
I've tried them every time someone with a Macbook came over and told me I have to try the touchpad because it's the best thing since sliced bread. It's definitely a big touchpad, but that's about all I can say about it. It's definitely not worth the extra spend on Apple hardware and neither is it worth dealing with macOS. It's not a bad touchpad at all, it's just unremarkable in the higher end laptop space.

I'll agree that they used to be exceptionally good before the Windows 10 precision drivers became widespread, though. Those made a huge difference in the PC world, for Windows and Linux support, and it took the industry many years to get to that level.

Going by the current state of my touchpad, I use about 60% of the area of my current touchpad so honestly I'm fine with the size on my Thinkpad P1 gen3. The HP Probook I had before that (which, to be fair, is eight years old now) definitely had a touchpad that was too small.

Apple also seems to be the only company that produces a decent external touchpad, which is irritating. I feel like I'm more productive with a touchpad but finding an affordable touchpad with decent reviews is nearly impossible, except for Apple's magic trackpad. The best alternatives seem to be Chinese clones from Aliexpress but I don't feel like writing my own drivers to get those to work well with Linux.
Amen. Some mindset shifts I found helpful:
- Get excited about helping people solve the problem, not just your product.
- "Teach" people how to solve the problem, instead of "marketing" your product.
- "Help" someone solve the problem, instead of "selling" them your product.
Agreed, simple things like 'there identity' also make it hard for me to focus too much on it as well.
Everyone has a lot of different personas online, it's free to do and there's zero downside.
The conclusion I got from it is that he wants to get 1000 followers on TikTok so he's got to do something to inflame people and get attention.

Having used both VHDL and Rust. Rust is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay easier. Like pre-elision lifetimes Rust is still easier than VHDL.

This is a problem for lib authors and it's good to be aware as soon as possible.

That said GAT weren't designed to tackle this problem, but async fn in traits.

Also according to https://rust-lang.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/144729-wg-tra...

The faults could be removed in stages, so it's not like GAT can't be improved.

Maladaptive learned behaviors change the physical structure of the brain.
>IT is a broad field :)

Yes it is. Today's assumption seems to be that everything is being done "web scale" with hundreds of servers in multiple datacenters across the globe.

I'm not so fortunate/unfortunate (depending on one's viewpoint) of having to deal with that kind of scale. I have less than 10 servers I maintain so a lot of these new fancy viewers is overkill for me.
Sure. I was just in San Diego and then in Palm Springs, in the desert. All the pools I saw were uncovered.
With physical access to a chip the only barrier to accessing that information is analysis time (and the absurd amount of equipment required to analyze things that small), at least assuming no significant quantum weirdness is mandatory to the chip's operation (i.e., that classical physics with perhaps some simple quantum approximations suffice to roughly describe the system). If the chip is capable of performing cryptographic operations using certain keys, at a minimum you can produce a nand-level algorithm capable of performing those same cryptographic operations with those same keys. If the cryptographic operations in question are known to be of some common pattern (elliptic curves or what have you) then it's also trivial to, in the presence of that nand-level algorithm, deconstruct the secrets.

That said, this tech doesn't look to be sufficient on its own. You probably need to analyze the contents of a chip, not just its structure. The linked article just describes an improvement in learning some kinds of physical structure.
I’m not sure that’s a fair criticism. Would calling this a model help? That’s such an abstract and overloaded term. Also, I know not everyone can know every open source author, but wycats has been a crucial contributor in the Ruby, Rust, and JS (probably more) ecosystems for over a decade. I doubt he picked the terminology out of naïveté and would guess that he would welcome discussion on the topic if you raised it in the repo.
