We are DigitalOcean circa 2015 mature. Good enough for some very large customers, good enough for many developers, not some place I'd run pacemaker infrastructure.
What an incredibly uninformed and ableist take. There are a plethora of illnesses and disorders that are merely coped with. With no way of improving prognosis, the best medical science can offer is attempting to improve the quality of the life of the individual while they waste away.
...is the argument you're making here that somehow a nuclear plant or solar farm is somehow equally polluting as a coal-fired power plant? Everything costs time, materials, and money to produce, but only coal plants continue to actively pollute after construction...
It's probably more like they have DOS support contracted out to some vendor. And when the systems upgraded to the point of not being able to run DOS natively the vendor built this franken-OS to fulfill the contract.

Renegotiating the contract to something sensible like "don't run DOS anymore" was probably hopeless in the face of the bureaucracy, or risked losing to contact.
I'm on my third pair of elite active 75ts. Love em, but they're a little delicate. Good warranty support tho. They work ok, but not great, on my Asus ubuntu laptop
I believe you mean inter-neural communication? But, in consequence, by “computation” they must mean intra-neural computation? Because otherwise (i.e. for inter-neural computation) the “communication” would be an integral part of the computation. Or do they really mean that most of the energy cost of neural computation must be attributed to inter-neural communication?
One factor is the time of day. When I meet people I'm usually busy with work, my thoughts or trying to achieve something else than a good discussion. When I'm online I'm alone, often in the evening, I have plenty of time and space in my head to get interested in arguments, viewpoints, and the experiences of random people I don't know.

I can also use my time effectively online: thanks to the asynchronous element of internet discussions I can find topics and arguments as I please and I can also withdraw from a discussion if I see the thread is going in a direction that won't be interesting. When talking with someone it's much harder. Thus, IRL, good discussions tend to happen with good friends who I can trust to not waste my time, and during specifically allotted time slots when I'm meeting them, and we both also have to be in the mood for a serious conversation.
After all the chatter this week, I've come to the conclusion that Heroku froze at the perfect time for my 4 person company. All of these so called "features" are exactly what we don't want or need.

1. Multi-region deployment only work if your database is globally distributed too. However, making your database globally distributed creates a set of new problems, most of which take time away from your core business.

2. File persistence is fine but not typically necessary. S3 works just fine.

It's easy to forget that most companies are a handful of people or just solo devs. At the same time, most money comes from the enterprise, so products that reach sufficient traction tend to shift their focus to serving the needs of these larger clients.

I'm really glad Heroku froze when it did. Markets always demand growth at all costs, and I find it incredibly refreshing that Heroku ended up staying in its lane. IMO it was and remains the best PaaS for indie devs and small teams.
IDL is a much older established language dating back to the '70s. So GDL would appeal to anyone needing to run or develop IDL code but wishing to avoid paying the license fee.
I owned an SB16 and GUS Ace.

The big thing back then was FM Synthesis vs Wavetable Synthesis for MIDI -- SB had AWE32 but GUS was more entrenched in the demo scene because it was easier to code for apparently (I was only a demo spectator, never an author, so I had no idea).

Today, wavetable synthesis seems so quaint -- nobody really fiddles with MIDIs anymore.
An attempt to rewrite the ledger with a 51% attack would be detected almost immediately. The Bitcoin in the rewritten ledger would quickly become worthless, including that belonging to the keys owned by the attacker. All that mining gear used to perform the attack would then be worthless too. This doesn't seem to me like a profitable attack vector once you consider the complete picture.
Just use a static hoster for a blog site (like netlify or even github pages).
The main reason is to use a chat solution is as a unified ledger / single pane of glass. Silly as it is, there isn't really a better solution out there for "integrate all of my third-party deploy, CI, build, etc. status updates in real time, in one place." Sure, someone can click into GitHub, but if you use another service to deploy into, does GitHub pipe the status of that service into your dashboard? How about error logs and alerting, do they go there? If there's a customer incident, does the trust site status show up as well?

On Slack and other chat solutions, it's possible to set up a #operations style single-pane-of-glass channel with deploy notifications, error alerting, and customer communication platforms all pushing to the same place. If an incident occurs, engineers, product, support, etc. can all collaborate around what's going on in real-time without needing to ask "hey has someone updated the trust site yet?" or click into 10 different tabs.

It's honestly pretty good when it works well and really bad and noisy when it doesn't, but it has a place.

Non-engineering are usually in Slack too, which really helps when support, product, or the field need quick answers to easy questions like "has this commit been deployed yet today?"
Isn't the "why" the weights of the model themselves?
I was diagnosed with somewhat severe ADHD, hyperactive and attention subtype. I have few tips to share:

1. Find your medication. After I found mine with the correct dosage, my life improved ten fold. Our dopamine system is wired differently and medication is the basis of treatment to cope with it.

2. Externalize everything: thoughts, events, planning, even your life’s values if you feel like it. Write it all down and build the discipline to keep those updated. Use todo-lists for everything. The poor executive functions we experience can be compensated by externalizing everything, so always organize your thoughts in a notepad. I use NotePlan mac/iOS app and highly recommend to check it out.

3. A lesser commonly known part of being ADHD is that it can also cause emotional unbalance. We can get overwhelmed, overexcited and overanxious easily. Keep awareness of your emotions. Again, write them down.

4. SLOW DOWN. Especially if you are also hyperactive. Try to think and react more slowly to the world around you. Give time for things to sink in your head before taking action.

5. Last but not least: be kind to yourself. You can’t always do everything perfectly. Mistakes are going to happen and that’s normal for everyone. Focus on improving yourself a little everyday and enjoy the present.

If you haven’t seen this video yet, it explains better and in much more detail: https://youtu.be/sPFmKu2S5XY
Yeah.. the original idea is to show user (both inviter and invitee) their events as well when choosing the time. Which is not possible in calendly. But I guess that’s another drawback!
> the use of helmets may alter the perceptions of drivers opposite to what you suggest

I think both can be true:

1. "cyclists are better protected, so less need to be careful"

2. "cyclists are engaging in something dangerous and unusual because they need to wear a helmet".

I looked at this a few years ago, and I found most studies on the topic inconclusive, some studies with contradicting results, etc. so in general I'm a bit hesitant citing studies on the topic.
Why would anyone do that? It makes a great dystopian novel storyline, but no other medical advancement has ever been treated that way. The elites could easily have everyone dying of simple infections, but I can get antibiotics for $5 at the Walmart pharmacy. The elites could easily have people elderly dying of heart disease at much higher rates but Medicare pays tens of thousands of dollars for heart surgery on senior citizens.
100%, SSDs make a massive difference in perceived performance. That laptop (it was an AMD V140, it was the Compaq CQ56 shit-top they sent out to replace laptops after bumpgate) was completely unusable with a HDD in windows but between a SSD and lxde it became marginally tolerable. It certainly wasn't fast but it could browse the web and it could play hardware-accelerated youtube if you used H264, etc.

I actually would not be surprised if, at the extreme low-end like the V140 or the Atom netbooks, that a SSD actually produced measurable increases in CPU performance. Not only do you have iowait which generally doesn't count as "idle" time according to linux (and probably windows) cpu utilization metrics, but even if you account for iowait, swapping off for another task while you iowait likely does have a performance hit in terms of caches that are no longer hot and so on, so performance is likely diminished when you come back to it too. And with no SMT, and only a single thread, context switching does become comparatively much more expensive in that fashion.
100% agreed.

I've seen none of the problems all these (presumably N American) commenters are reporting, but our power systems are famously much better in Europe. I'm from England but live in Czechia and apart from different plugs everything works the same.

I bought a rice cooker from a Taiwanese woman a couple of years ago and was shocked (fortunately, not literally) to discover that apparently Taiwan runs on American sockets and American (crappy) voltages. Luckily I had an adaptor plug and it seems to cope with 220V mains without releasing the magic smoke.
Most people are often busy, and tired, work, cook, clean, tidy, pension, legal stuff, health stuff, car stuff, children, pay mortgage, pay bills, family, friends, personal activities, problems... Life is complicated and bureaucratic, so not everyone has time to "examine serious things"

Then there are channels to discuss things

Your family will prefer to hear about job, children, partner, dreams, personal activities, achievements... and not about if invading Ukraine, Syria, Iraq... was a smart decision

But there are meetups, for example, where people want to discuss certain subjects, and are prepared to, I wouldn't want to discuss programming with most of my friends

> But what else is there? What's your experience with people online vs in real life? Why do you think this is the case?

People are different everywhere, work, home, family gatherings, alone, with friends, partner...

And online is the same, from real life, and on different websites

Being pseudo anonymous also help you to talk about something that otherwise you would only discuss with a person privately, or not at all, about yourself, or generally controversial

I might not share political stuff on Facebook, to avoid alienate friends that will get annoyed without context or proper discussion, a connection that was made to share mostly personal stuff, not politics. But I can go 'all in' on Reddit or Twitter or other proper channel to discuss those subjects, since I don't care about each person personal feelings and emotions since I don't know them, and either way I am just trying to get specific point across, weather I am right or wrong

If you tell your boss all your personal opinions you will probably be fired soon, or your work might be judged on personal grounds rather than professional, possibly creating a discriminatory environment

In conclusion, everyone disagrees about most things, so avoiding conflict is necessary for a healthy life. You should discuss things with people that want to hear from you about it, are prepared to handle it and give you something in return
> A poorly executed good idea can easily out perform a well executed bad idea.

One of the maxims I adopted from a mentor was that good execution of a mediocre idea will beat poor execution of a great idea. So far, it's been true everywhere I look.

We're surrounded with decent execution of horrible ideas.

Meant with all due respect, but.. I think you've got it backwards? Great ideas have no innate value, they're easy to come up with.
Clearly average eng managers also dont read articles before posting bc this was covered in there nor have any sense of humor
> Additionaly, study after study has shown that non-verbal communication between people is an enormous part of effective communication. Argue all you want, too many studies, turn all over the weekend she the same thing. And the I've thing that video conferencing does is cripple that comm channel.

Citations please?
California electricity rates are high. Tesla mostly just has to pass along these costs.
I had two very old receivers that lasted a number of years each. When the last one wouldn't stay on, I tried to then buy another Onkyo receiver. Somehow late last year but there was some insane shortage everywhere, and Best Buy was literally out of everything. Online also proved to be difficult.

I therefore couldn't find another Onkyo to buy, and after some research I learned that those receivers (of various brands) with complicated A/V functions are the ones that have issues. I ended up getting a higher-end, but non-AV (meaning no HDMI) simple stereo receiver and have been happy so far.
This. Problems like preserving life on earth, and expanding to other planets are something that our descendants will have to solve. Increasing the intelligence of future generations is not only ethical, it is our duty.
nope, I see mostly magpies around my house all the time here in Prague literally any time (they must like my neighborhood, seems they took over all other birds), often also pigeons, rarely other birds, can't say I don't like being in company of one of the smartest animals on this planet, shame dunno how to make friends with them

but yeah it's extremely rare for me to see sparrows unlike my childhood in small hometown 25-30 years ago, might be because of size of town
Argh!!! I get this kind of response all the time, and it's frustrating for one simple reason: miners certainly DO NOT CARE where their reward comes from: block rewards, transaction fees, whatever.

At the end of the day, it's a very simple calculation for them: electricity costs in, Bitcoin value out. No matter where their Bitcoin reward comes from, they will not (for long anyway) spend more on BTC then they are rewarded.

> If the market cap of bitcoin stays the same, then the mining reward in terms of energy will decrease.

NO! The simple rules of arbitrage would ensure that more miners would be incentivized to beef up their electricity spend to mind faster to win the reward (again, block rewards or transaction fees, doesn't matter).
It’s not a question of “good” data. Slice and dice perfectly random data and sometimes you get spurious correlations. The only way to separate them from real results is to have completely new data.

It’s not even a question of p hacking or bad design. Preform enough experiments and you always get false positives.
> The vast majority of TikTok's are extremely clickbait-y and entice you to watch till the end without you knowing if there will be a payoff

TikTok added a progress bar so you can skip to the end in those cases and save yourself the time now.

Or, you can just scroll past those videos. Again, the reason they're clickbaity is because your brain thinks there's going to be a payoff, but if you train you brain to instantly scroll past those videos then you'll also train the algorithm to show less of those kinds of videos.
what if they want to use a CMS?
really developers manipulate abtract words that are ungrounded in reality.
You care about speed, feature set/expressivity and simplicity.
GraalVM has the three, it is the fastest JIT out there, it brings you so many features out of the box, including state of the art grabage collector and unique language polyglotism interop, and the API is the simplest there is for building a language.

I've got a small amount of dynamic content
This is a problem. And a bit of an own goal on our part.

I hate services that don't put a price on things like bandwidth (because there's always a price!). So we priced bandwidth and made it transparent. You can put an app on Fly.io and server petabytes of data every month, if you want. We'll never complain that you're serving the wrong content type.

But the reality is – having an unlimited bandwidth promise is perfect for for a fire and forget blog site. We're not doing ourselves any favors with scary pricing for that kind of app.
What was the 'terrible commercial mistake' that the sriracha guy made?

If the sriracha guy is letting people keep their own money, that is decidedly utilitarian also...
Holy shit this makes so much sense. You exactly described the people at my work who are strongly pushing for more in-office.
I think for future space travel we need genetic modifications.
The problem with cryptocurrency, unlike eg. gold, is that you can't melt it down and get the energy back somehow. It's just wasted entropy somewhere.

This means that when the music stops, someone ends up holding a big bag of nothing, since there's no backstop.
Dirty power and poor wiring are terrible for many things. It's not a surprise it might cause issues with this too.
I'm sure there exists an amount of force that can pry it from your living body though :)

Also the Ethereum DAO debacle proves that crypto needed less than ten years for "too big to fail" (preferential treatment for the sufficiently influential) to materialize and essentially undermine all promises of cryptocurrency. You can get your money back when you're scammed or hacked, provided you have enough influential friends.
I’ve tried using AutoHotkey to replicate space cadet shift on windows to no avail (very unresponsive). Does anyone know a way to get it working?
Botnets are playing a big role in CPU-based mining as well.
I will give it a try, however I personally dislike KDE, it feels pretty much like a kitchen sink of options and preferences, yet I somehow still can't configure it to feel "right".
Same thing in France.

The one who took the picture has moral rights, no matter who hired whom. These rights are for life and not transferrable, you have them whether you want it or not. It also means you can't put your work in the public domain. These are "respect the author" rights that can be use if someone defaces you work for instance. Parody and satire are exceptions.

The one who hired the one who took the picture has patrimonial rights if the contract says so. Patrimonial rights are essentially the right to make money and the closest to US copyright. These are transferrable.
How many do you think read this reply? At least that many, I'd wager.
Thank you for the correction! I saw multiple news articles several years ago saying that Intel would be dropping support for BIOS mode by the end of 2020, but it appears they've been dragging their feet. In the meantime, they seem to have been making moves in other ways, such as not supporting BIOS mode when booting with integrated graphics on 11th gen processors ( https://www.asus.com/us/support/FAQ/1045467 ).

>"Normalization" means applying some constant gain factor to the signal so that the loudest level is 0dBFS.

Not necessarily, although that has been perhaps the most common use of that term so far. But you can normalize to a lower peak level or to something else... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio_normalization
A lot of the progression on the Java language features occurred after Jigsaw (modules) shipped. From memory it was almost a decade of delays to pretty much every JEP because they couldn’t get Jigsaw and it’s underlying architecture right. I struggle to think of one modern use case for modules.

Kotlin shouldn’t have happened but they let Java lang fester for too long.
Windows installers are bootable these days (from DVD or USB; doesn’t matter); they haven’t been runnable from DOS for a couple decades now.

At any rate, even if you did find some OS you could install from DOS, you’d be installing it into the QEMU image if you installed from FreeDOS on a system with this arrangement. There’s no way to get back to the bare metal hardware from FreeDOS here.
As far I can tell, exporting query results from Postgres RDS to S3 uses Postgres's Copy and only supports CSV and Text [1]. Can you provide a link for parquet exports?

Different people define it differently for themselves, if as a result of these definitions one of the groups grows exponentially and others don't then that group had the correct definition.
Which, if there is enough consensus, is generally pretty accurate and saves everyone a whole lot of brain processing. Only so many things can be evaluated and judged a day per person.
Agreed, although https://gitlab.com/BlackEdder/caldavwarrior works well enough for my use cases, once set up
That's an odd viewpoint, considering that in every war ever, the majority of victims are men. Women are raped, absolutely and that's awful. Men are generally seen only as a threat so they are killed (if they're lucky), or tortured and then killed.

Your comment reminds me of the campaign a few years back to bring attention to the horrible fact that 1 in 4 homeless people were women. The irony of course being that nobody gave a shit about the other 75% since they were men.
If I understand correctly, what you're describing is often called 'embodied carbon' or 'embedded emissions' [0].

Many people spend their lives estimating embedded emissions and, more importantly, the time it will take for any emission-reducing technology (e.g. electric cars) to amortise away the CO2e emissions required to produce it.

For instance, it's been estimated that a Tesla Model 3 "needs to be driven for 13,500 miles (21,725 km) before it does less harm to the environment than a Toyota Corolla" [1]

Basically all true, except every other conglomerate generally wanders into debt, then acts like it's candy, gets hooked and then runs into untold troubles for a while, when the debt and bad deals eventually catch up with them.

BRK noticeably avoids debt, prefers all cash deals and keeps a very strong pile of cash laying around just in case.
While the ad isn’t that impressive, I’m mainly just impressed by how much of the important functionality of Excel was already figured out by 1992. I expected formulas and at least some decent formatting and editing tools, but I was not expecting interpolation, what appears to be the most important custom number formatting features still today, and the automatic table styling. That all already existed and was in an advertisement before I was even born.

Pretty cool.

(I know a lot of the innovation came earlier with software like VisiCalc, but that’s distant enough to be hard for me to appreciate.)
It is stock in Fedora, and it's the "driver" in Ubuntu just that apps are using ALSA/Pulse emulation libs, not the native ones. This has no effect on the BT support. Also, it's just Ubuntu being weird again.
