empirical mathematic principles

I wish this was a joke. How about you try to collect the $1m Millennium price with your proof of the Riemann hypothesis based on "empirical mathematic principles"? To be 100% clear about this: there's no such thing as empirical mathematical facts, there has never been and there will never be, not in this universe or any other. No matter how many (finitely many) roots of the zeta function you collect, they will never constitute a proof.

To your point: you do realize that stablecoins like Dai have given up monetary autonomy, right? The amount of Dai in circulation is governed by users/the market, not the protocol or a central bank. You seem to be acting in bad faith, because you deliberately only discuss two points, but according to this theory, a stable exchange rate and capital mobility are indeed compatible if you're willing to let the market dictate your monetary policy.
sorry to come off as pedantic: it's not my intent. everyone has different experiences on Twitter, and this relates to an experience i don't have much of.

a _lot_ of people complain about "anonymous Twitter users", and i want to understand what they mean by that. i think it's the sort of "[anonymous] asshole slides into my timeline and then leaves" behavior. and if so, i suspect it's not actually identity or its form but _reputation_ that matters in these interactions: "non-reputable asshole slides into my timeline" (and so considering reputation becomes important in your interactions). but they could equally mean "this person could have multiple identities on this site and that doesn't work for me" (e.g. some person could be playing both a left-leaning and a right-leaning account and using those multiple identities to drive a wedge into some community), so maybe they really do want to avoid interacting with people who don't have a verifiably singular identity (this isn't easy).

i should have distilled it to that point: when a person says they don't deal with anonymous users, do they actually care about identity, or are they using identity as a proxy for reputation -- and reputation is the more direct concern?

The problem is that you can't just add a fixed amount of latency to hit a goal of 35ms, you need some sort of algorithm that adaptively changes the amount of added latency to account for occasional spikes in network latency (this is a game that takes >30min so those spikes are guaranteed to happen over the course of a game)
I didn't say they were dead, I said their doctors diagnosed them as brain-dead. This was actually a mistake on my part; "brain dead" and "vegetative state" are not the same thing. I should have said that they were diagnosed as in a vegetative state. A key point is that they are not aware of things happening and are not forming memories.

> Why on Earth would it be OK to kill newborns just because they aren't people? People's pet dogs aren't people either. Have you got it into your head that it's OK to just kill somebody's pet dog if you want to? It isn't.

It wouldn't be, but what I'm driving at is that killing a newborn (or fetus) is categorically worse than killing anybody's dog.

There is no calculus whereby one can say that some number of animals is "worth more" than some number of humans who may be deficient in some way (too young, unaware of their surroundings, apparently mentally handicapped, severely physically handicapped, whatever), or that killing the latter is "more okay" than killing the former.
I would like to move but there are really no good alternatives that are even close to Heroku.
So were others but they weren't rated worst company in America for many years in a row.
I would not say that they lied about the env vars. The stated line is still "env vars in apps were not compromised, but env vars in CI pipelines and review apps were". For some applications there may have been shared data in these vars - in our case (N=1) our CI pipeline and review apps had a dramatically smaller and less critical set of variables.

It still sucks that they are parceling out the information, but the claim that they outright lied is not true.

I think that in many cases the victim's name gets remembered.

The Atlantic has an article in the current issue mentioning Medgar Evers. As it happens, I do remember the name of the man who shot Evers, was acquitted then and convicted thirty or forty years later. But I have to fish in my memory for it. I certainly don't remember the names of the Manson adherents who killed Sharon Tate, a bit later in the 1960s.
No idea, but AMTA reports 2.5 to 3.5 kwh/ m3 (10-13 kwh/kgal). They write: "Based on nationwide data from the Energy Information Administration, a typical refrigerator average annual energy usage is 1,400-1,500 kwh. Using the average US water use per household of 100,000 gallons per year, the energy requirement for supplying desalinated water to a house in the US will be less than an old refrigerator, but the same as a newer, more efficient refrigerator power use."
I don't really agree with your qualification of Scientific Reports as "not quite predatory" or "a very low bar". Though it doesn't come close to comparing to Nature or Science, it's a perfectly respectable journal and it publishes quality research.

Ive got to say, what I pictured would happen from reading books and blogs and even getting a fucking degree in CS was so different from what actually happens in the daily lives of software developers. Im not saying its always negative or positive but just so different.

If only as a service to past me, It would be hugely beneficial if we had more raw accounts of what it’s really like.
> Fairness isn't a perk applied to a team, it is a property of the game.

Could you clarify what this means? I’m not entirely sure I understand what you mean. I think I just need a little more context.

> if teams who can't travel to be game are going to be included, then the host must find a way to provide a fair game.

I agree with the logic but disagree with the premise: teams who can’t travel to play the game shouldn’t be included in the tournament in the first place, because it places an undue burden on the other teams and lowers the quality of play.

> Unless "ability to travel during a pandemic" is considered a skill for this game

I don’t think it’s a skill; it’s a basic obligation individuals and teams must fulfill.
They know it'll leak, so being public minimizes damage.
I'm a little confused about the blocking of RTs. Finding interesting technical content in my timeline and retweeting it to my followers is the activity I feel best about on Twitter. The algorithmic timeline (which I don't use, but others do) has made this less useful, but I think this retweet capability is a huge part of the value of the platform. I certainly don't have time to quote-tweet all of those interesting tweets, and I think sometimes it feels like "taking credit for someone else's work" when I do.

It would prevent Outlook/Teams from bugging you with notifications at all hours. You could set up call forwarding or something like that. If someone's not willing to pick up a phone, it's not an emergency.
The lie was:

While we confirmed that the threat actor had access to encrypted Heroku customer secrets stored in config var, the secrets are encrypted at rest and the threat actor did not access the encryption key necessary to decrypt config var secrets.

Nowhere in that did it clarify it was speaking of app but not pipeline env vars. They had plenty of time to author that post too. Make sure you rotate those app env vars anyways as this somehow appears to be getting worse by the week.
Yes, burning away the interior surface of your combustion chamber runs into a resource limit pretty quickly, shortly followed by rapid uncontrolled dissociation. The exhaust colors leading up to that are often pretty, and finally dramatic.

There have been rockets that ran lean during the first few seconds, deliberately eroding away a layer of the combustion chamber, to get higher-mass particles into the exhaust while trying to clear the launch tower. The higher-mass exhaust particles gives you less efficiency but more thrust, which is most important just then.
Some people are just dazzled by the promise of being able to manipulate reality in whatever variety of ways they can imagine using comparatively little effort, and just don't think any deeper into it than how much they might personally enjoy that.

It's kind of like the rush a highway robber might get from realizing that people do what he wants when he points his weapon at them.
> The "keeper test" as described is nonsense - you don't pay more to person A to entice person B to enhance your team - that's complete nonsense. Why would you "pay off" person A for being rubbish?

In this case, I'd argue it is. Twitter is anonymous in the sense that you don't need a real name for an account, but the Twitter handle and picture is clearly presented on every Tweet and the user profile is not only very visible, it's actually pretty essential due to the follow-mechanic.

This is very different compared to more anonymous forums like 4chan, (former) YikYak and it's successor Jodel. User profiles exist in all of these, but are not presented or publicly visible and postings are not linked to the same account, excluding direct replies.
The mini line up is not “subpar.” There is utility in a smaller form factor that is equal to or greater than the the value of the better specs in a large form factor. If that weren’t true then everyone would be walking around with an iPad instead of an iPhone.
Not sure he gets it now either. It's fairly easy to get on the order 1K followers just talking with people and having real conversations. I actually got into some interesting discussions relatively early on, even with people of radically opposed opinions.

But ... twitter is not (or no longer) great for conversations, as it is very hard to track down conversation threads or suss out context. It took a lot of effort to stay on the ball and keep track of all the variables in a multi-way conversation between very different kinds of people. In the end I felt I was getting less out of twitter than I was putting in, so I no longer have a twitter account.
Yes, U-Boot seems to be designed to load kernel images from flash ROM. I doubt it can handle, for instance, loading a kernel image from a hard drive connected via USB.

I strongly recommend data.table R. Tidyverse is an improvement on base R, no question. Data.table has less intuitive syntax and can be harder to learn, but is lightning fast and memory efficient. If you're working with more than 1M rows, you should be using data.table.

Well hopefully once it's gone the competition will be able to get more market share to build quality product. Heroku has been starving the entire ecosystem for years.

I don't have experience with any other PaaS's so I can't recommend one, but what you say is what I commonly hear.
They should ask Nvidia how they did it, or they could peek, they got the data after all
Twitter has a function for identifying content you'd like others to see in your own timeline: it's called retweet. It also has a function for identifying content that is noteworthy but failed to meet the higher bar, and that's called "favorite" (I still prefer "like", but whatever.) At some point Twitter's algorithm began using favorites to serve the purpose previously served by retweets, and the quality of the timeline has been in free-fall since then.

I've played NMS pretty much since release, off and on. First on Playstation, but I then bought it on Steam for Linux and plan to get it on the Switch when it drops.

It's a fantastic game if you have friends to play with, or are interested in joining online groups. There's thousands of planets out there and I still get excited when I'm in a random galaxy and find something awesome I can share with the community.

The single player in NMS is less fun than Multiplayer, but if you are down for what is basically space minecraft I still would say it's worth it!

And for anyone wondering, it works great on Proton and the devs are maintaining support for Proton as well (thanks, Steam Deck!)
Coincidentally, this just showed up in my feed earlier today:

Netflix actually cancelled my subscription last year. Their support insisted that I did it myself. A couple months later I started getting the-please-come-back emails.

I guess I wasn't a keeper.

(More seriously, I originally wondered if I was a bystander in some kind of social engineering attack. My best guess is that it was a fat finger error that occurred when another subscriber called in to cancel.)

Truth is, between HBO Max and Amazon Prime, I haven't missed it.

When I see writing like that, I think the author is either German[1], uses IM far too much, or is trying very hard to exude the "edgy teenager" stereotype. The entire site is in that style, and combined with the definitely unusual domain name, makes it very hard to take this person seriously.

That is fine, as far as it goes. But it doesn't go very far.

Injecting huge amounts of H, CO and H2O into the upper stratosphere and ozone layer will have important consequences, even if the launch cadence SpaceX wants does not happen. (Which it won't.)

We might need regulation.
So beyond I can grief.
I mean, don't we all? It's not like all this code I'm writing is coming from some conversation my fingers have had amongst themselves.
but that's why i said typically.

to change your status of residency, proof would be required.

and it depends who is asking. maybe i don't pay taxes as a resident, but for visa purposes i may still count as resident in my home country.

this is relevant now as china allows people only to enter by direct flight from their home country or country of residence. this is really messing with people who have their family in a third country. they have to make a detour to their home country if they don't have a residency visa for their family's country.

also if i go travelling for a year, i don't loose my residency status unless i stay somewhere long enough to establish residency there. that is, if i have a visa that allows that.

I can appreciate that perspective for sure.

Just to make sure we're on the same page though, it's perhaps worth clarifying that this particular integration issue isn't something you have to worry about every time you use two packages together (far from it), it's only in the case where you're trying to use a custom type from one package (e.g., one which replaces base Arrays or base Numbers or such) in functions from another package.
I think it's great people like data.table's performance but I don't think performance is a compelling reason to be prescriptive about data.table. It's a reason data.table may be appealing to some. People can try them and decide for themselves if the performance is worth the trouble. In many cases the performance difference with dplyr is hardly noticeable and IMO readability of dplyr becomes the more meaningful advantage.

I have plenty of projects with tables with millions of rows, and I rarely find dplyr to be slow enough to get frustrated about. And even then I'd rather endure, or maybe use dtplyr, or maybe use data.table for a small performance-critical part of the code, than make a wholesale switch.
That’s a looooooot of salt, way more than you’re ever gonna use up through food, and it’s heavy. And corrosive.

I've played SC on and off. I've gotten my money's worth for sure.

The dogfighting module is pretty polished, it's fun to run on the flight simulator and VR headset. It's my go to space sim as there's nothing that compares even though it's not done.

The persistence module is fun to dick around with, the seamless landing on a planet and exploring is cool as shit.

I don't have a rig to power the FPS module very well so I can't give a fair review, but the mechanics and controls seem fine.

Love the immersion and I follow it asynchronously. They're still going at it and I applaud the effort. Would rather have a great game eventually than a shit dead game a year ago.
What people think say and do are 3 mostly unrelated things. so yes it really fits into whole life really.
Star Citizen can change gaming for the better. It can break the corporate-induced cycle of rehashing old game formats with slightly better graphics to siphon off money instead of providing more gameplay.

Consider this: We need something new - there is absolutely no need for another rehashed clone of Privateer/Freelancer/Whatever. We played hundreds of such games. Nobody has been able to bring a new paradigm into this game genre since 1980s. Its the same old thing.

With the hardware power that our computers attained since 1980s, we should be playing games that are much bigger in scope and much more immersive right now. We are not. We are playing the same rehashed games with better graphics. The gameplay is almost the same and cheap. Every major company that consolidated the gaming space is just rehashing this genre like all the other genres for profit, without bringing in anything new.

Star Citizen is trying to change that. Its trying to create an entire universe in which you can make your space coffee, eat your space breakfast and move into whatever adventure you want in a living, breathing universe. Its trying to put is in something that is worth our time and attention today, instead of a rehashed copy/paste of whatever successful simplicity that was invented in the earlier decades.

Its going to be difficult. Even making one living, breathing space-city for people to experience is like making a singular, major MMO game. Making a planet - even bigger. An universe? Phenomenal work.

It was obvious that there would be needed gigantic funding on an ongoing basis and A LOT of work. It was obvious that a lot of developers would burn out on the way. It was certain that it would take a lot of time.

STILL, its worth it. We need SOMETHING NEW now. Since 1970s, we got CPU power increase a TRILLION FOLD, but the games we play today STILL have the gameplay of 1970s' successful games despite all the new potential that immense CPU (and accompanying GPU) power provides. We need something that will make us immerse thoroughly in games, universes in ways we never did before. Star Citizen is trying that. And its a major step in the right direction.
The main idea that I took offence to was the "economic incel" ideology - ie that the our entire society is nothing more than a tool for siphoning resources from the "underclass" into the hands of a few dozen multi-billionaires, and therefore if one engages in any productive activity beyond the absolute minimum necessary to survive, they're a sucker.

It's popular on various front-page(!!!) subreddits like r/antiwork and r/latestagecapitalism.

I say "incel" there very deliberately. It's a set of toxic beliefs that prevents the formation of normal, healthy economic relationships, and this reinforces the toxic beliefs in a positive feedback loop.

I've seen a friend get sucked into this and it was (still is) absolutely devastating.
The specs are indeed garbage, but I've been using it as my daily driver for over a year and I really don't want to change to anything else since the form factor and weight are just so nice for when I'm out of the house. For reading the news at home or similar stuff, I do use an old Pixel 3a though.

I paid USD$55 back in 2017-02, and played a little at the time, but just didn't get it.

I came back to it in ~2019, but again it felt like a high barrier, requiring the kind of esoteric knowledge you'd get if you'd been consistently tracking all the updates to really enjoy. (And there was a LOT of email updates about the project.)

Also what felt like heavy selling on new spacecraft and addons, while I remained confused about what you're actually meant to do in the game, frustrated by the sandbox mechanics & limitations, bewildered by how resilient my ship was and what happened if it was destroyed (pricing was mostly around buying ships, I believe).

I now suspect persistent MMOG universes just aren't my thing.
