> The other 19 were household cats (mean number living together: 6.37)

This means the number of cats, right? Since it's contrasted to the cafe cats. So these are basically three families with six or seven cats each. The question being: how was it easier to find three such families than a bunch of families with three cats? What kind of place is that? I mean, sure it's Japan but still.
Writing a Simple and Effective Thread-Pool in C++
Catastrophic battles are always a possibility, especially with how awesome today's weapons are ("awesome" as in the true sense of the word, not today's colloquial use). Completely devastating, capable of killing hundreds, or even thousands, of people in a matter of seconds.

The failed bridge crossing is well explained by a few artillery strikes to destroy the bridge, followed up by some kind of close-encounter. The bulk of the losses here weren't artillery IMO (which would have scarred the landscape far more than what we saw), but some kind of direct confrontation... be it close-air-support (Su-25? Multiple TB2? Helicopter gunships Mi-17??), or maybe even a Ukrainian Tank-platoon (10 to 20 Ukrainian tanks cleaning up a set of scared / demoralized vehicles). Hell, it could have been an impressive barrage of smart weapons (though I find this unlikely, as smart-weapons are extremely expensive. Still, USA / NATO absolutely has crazy smart-weapons and even smart-cluster weapons in their inventory and maybe Ukraine got to use one here??).

It is safe to say that the bridge was destroyed by an artillery strike of some kind (if not artillery, then heavy mortar). The top-down damage and craters in the bridge prove this enough.

It doesn't seem like the Ukrainians are saying how they "cleaned up" the operation and finished the troops off. But there's "many ways to skin a cat" so to speak. The specifics don't matter at all, whatever operation the Ukrainians did to finish off the troops was brutal, accurate, and devastating. Its truly a marvel of modern warfighting that there are at least 3 or 4 different ways Ukraine could have realistically achieved the result at this river-crossing.

----------

Why were the Russians trying to make an opposed crossing the river? Well... to get to the other side, obviously. More seriously: Russians have lofty goals, likely goals above-and-beyond what their military is capable of.

Performing high-risk / high-reward strategies (like a river crossing) is necessary, if Russian generals hope to achieve anything in Eastern Ukraine. Alas, if these high-risk operations fail, then Russia loses a ton of troops, becomes further demoralized and have to scale back operations grossly.

River crossings are necessarily a predictable, and forced, chokepoint. Predictable because both sides have a map of the area and can wargame the limited areas where a river-crossing is possible. A chokepoint because you need to send many military units on a narrow bridge as quickly as possible, so your units naturally end up massing at a point (open to be devastated by artillery and/or cluster munitions).

Definitely agree. I joined Twitter four months ago. I haven't tweeted yet, but I'm reading it daily on the app and occasionally liking tweets.

I've been so surprised at how effective the advertising has been on me. I've never experienced this level of engagement with online marketing.
Ads for TV shows, movies, live shows, musicians and comedians have been particularly effective.

I've found myself following a lot of show writers I've never heard of, and I even signed up for some new streaming services because of it. Google and Facebook ads never felt like they impacted me, though I know how important and dominant they are to business marketers. I've never clicked on a banner ad and my eyes glaze over sponsored links. Twitter's level of engagement with their marketing content is new to me, and I'm impressed.
Nope, there's plenty of you. As long as the shell is sufficiently compatible (which often entails being 'bash-compatible'...) and it has the rudimentary CLI features of command history and repetition I don't care either. I just use whatever is the largest common denominator - currently bash - in the knowledge that any scripts I produce are likely to work elsewhere. If it really needs to work everywhere I limit myself to POSIX shell but otherwise I use the handy bits of bash without remorse. If most of the world moves to zsh or Oil shell or Fish then so will I.

On reading Graeber’s The Dawn of Everthing, it becomes clear that “we” (humanity in most places we’ve lived on earth) have made what approximates socialism (broadly construed), work, at scale, for probably most of our existence. In addition to many other forms of society. The question is more what do we need to make work to prevent a catastrophic extinction event for our species? We can probably make anything work that we need to.

Yeah what often is missed is that as part of agreement the missiles from Turkey were removed, effectively increasing US security and lowering European one. That's why to me it is being quite concerning the fact that in the current scenario the interests of US establishment are matched by the idea of European interests while it is not like that and can't never be, if anything because you can't really get around geography and if we get to the point where each ones has nuclear warheads pointed at each other, despite the way it could look, it would be very bad, so I hope that Zelensky, Johnson and Biden get isolated by Europeans, and countries like Italy (I hope) chose to get out of NATO

As a tech and machine learning maximalist I'm frustrated with how haphazardly Tesla is approaching self driving. This is not a technology that should be QA'd consumer-first. On top of that their approach of ditching LIDAR and other sensors is shooting themselves in the foot.

Tesla is in danger of putting the entire AV industry back by ~5 years just through loss of reputation. Regulators and AV pessimists will jump on the opportunity to use Tesla as an example of why these vehicles should be completely banned from public roads. Cruise, Waymo, Zoox, et al. are testing and rolling out responsibly while Tesla is using their customer base as crash test dummies.

> With DSLRs my main complaint to this day is still the lack of a good modular lens system for phones (I understand some of the challenges and tradeoffs). For most people's camera habits (selfies, food shots, group pictures...) the lenses your modern flagship phone provides are mostly great.

Point-and-shoot cameras have been replaced by phones; DSLRs, on the other hand, are rapidly being replaced by mirrorless cameras. Mirrorless cameras, at least on the surface, seem to be an improvement on DSLRs -- they don't require a mirror, so they're both easier and cheaper to manufacture, they allow for modular lens systems, and even allow for more features (like shooting video as well as stills) than a traditional DSLR.
I actually wouldn't be surprised if the total number of tests run in the Julia ecosystem wasn't too different (thousands of packages with typically hundreds to thousands of unit tests, run on every commit and PR) -- virtually every Julia package has CI set up (at least standalone unit tests, though many packages could use more integration tests). Of course, in neither Matlab nor Julia do tests guarantee correctness.
I am a total ignorant about search engines and I have a question after seeing all types of comments and projects popping up lately and criticizing Google results which is if it is realistic to think that something similar to Google could exist.

It seems to me that there are all sort of tools out there to do so such as all the public NLP implementations, vector search engines, ... and I wonder if it is that not everything that is needed is truly available, it is a matter of the needed resources to have something working or is just a matter of the products already existing and not getting traction (and I am not talking about the other big search engines).
No direct keyboard support on the reMarkable, but you can trivially get a root shell over USB-C — while charging, unlike older USB OTG setups on phones and tablets with one micro-USB connector — so it’s totally something you can hack together.

None of the bundled software is designed for using a keyboard, of course, so it’s going to be just as DIY as the very earliest Linux handhelds. (Anyone else remember the awful HP “iPaq” PDA Linux environment? I set one up because I could, and them never see the device again because the UX and battery life were so bad.)

Yeah, using expression indexes or generated columns like this is a tradeoff - slower writes for faster queries & more declarative (de)normalization. The same could be said about any index, though… why is this index strategy more concerning? All indexing trades off write speed for read speed.
The article clearly defines those accounts as "active" because it's the only way an external observer can somehow isolate an "active" group. Only twitter can know how many users are "lurkers".

Some things won't work out of the box if your shell isn't posix compliant. For example, I once installed Ocaml, and its installer assumed my shell was posix, so some of the commands broke (I forgot the exact details now). Also NVM (node version manager) doesn't work with fish (or at least at the time).

Sometimes there are alternatives or workarounds, but the fact is that using fish does come with that downside. Doesn't come up often, but it is annoying when it does come up.

I like fish btw, just saying that I disagree with your "no reason to continue using zsh" comment. I use zsh because I was fed up with random things breaking due to not having a posix shell. And zsh can be customized to have most of the niceties of fish anyway. But it is pretty cool how fish comes with so many niceties out of the box!

Is that how the Cuban missile crisis is taught in the US? It certainly is different than what I learned in school ( ex-communist country). It was presented with much more nuance, starting with the backstory that the US had missiles in Turkey and Italy, so them blowing off due to missiles in Cuba was highly hypocritical.

tesla's 'self driving' features are something otherworldly to behold sometimes.
ive seen a model X approach an intersection with a green light and a clear path of travel only to lock up the brakes and skid just a few feet short of the light.

on a motorcycle ive merged in front of a tesla with plenty of headspace only to see it surge forward momentarily before applying every gram of brake-force to drag the car to a screeching halt. A few streets later this same tesla resumed travel next to me from the light, only to slowly and methodically merge into the shoulder and onto the grass before its driver took over.

> Give an orca hands and human speech and there's nothing we know about neuroscience to imply that the animal wouldn't be smarter and more capable than humans.

Humans have one more difference from others: human cubs are born helpless. They even do not know how to use their eyes. They need to learn everything themselves. All the pre-wired genetic firmware was destroyed by evolution. It is very inconvenient for mothers of course, but on the other hand this shift from hardware to software gives unprecedented abilities to adapt to different environments. And probably it gives a lot of experience of making sense of the mess of input signal that can be useful later. And of course it is a factor of a selection: if you cannot learn how to use your eyes, then you are not Sapience enough to breed.

Great! I have 132GB of photos, and would like to store them on the blockchain to ensure I always have access to them. How much will that cost me? Show your work, and round your answer to the nearest million.

Maybe too much snark, but there’s a real tension there. “Store it on the blockchain” means “store a copy on every single node, forever”. It’s understandable that incurs some costs, and that one has to store only the most essential information. Maybe, there are some paths forward, like sharded chains?
My opinion is that Julia was too ambitious from day one. Reimplementing the whole scientific computing stack AND a new modern language with an innovative type system and introspection AND perfecting tooling is just too big an effort.

The priority for correctness has been drowned out by too much other issues and we are here with a 10 years old language with a very perfectionist and ambitious mindset that is still a raw fruit in basically everything. It's not some rough edges it's just too many edges, most of them rough.

I cannot help thinking that if the same amount of people focused on a much smaller goal we could have something much more usable today. As it is now I know Julia won't be production ready for at least 10 years. And that's in the lucky case that it doesn't become irrelevant in the meantime.
