There are a couple of textbooks I haven't seen mentioned elsewhere in this thread which I found very useful as a first year undergraduate - they are concise in style but not to the point of being too difficult to follow (it's personal preference but I found I got on much better with this style of textbook):

Davenport - The Higher Arithmetic

Burkill - A First Course in Mathematical Analysis (and also A Second Course in Mathematical Analysis by Burkill and Burkill)

I suspect the film critics themselves would disagree with that take. Imagine a film a generative AI would make on based on those desiderata. The critic might agree the film is, as you put it, technically well made, but they could at the same time also think it’s not a great film. For example, perhaps it lacks a deep emotional resonance, or some other airy quality that makes films “great”. Think of reviewer lingo like “slick” and “vacuous”. They don’t think of themselves as score keepers; technical proficiency is a contributing factor to the emotional impact of the film, not the goal in itself.

Which means that it’s ultimately just about how much they enjoyed the film. This is fine: they are professionals at describing how the movie affected them and why it works (or doesn’t) for them. They are also movie geeks, which means that if you’re a movie geek too, you’re likely to have similar reactions. Their opinions are especially useful, at least if they’re good at their jobs.

Like most things (think wine or cheese or cars), people who are “into” them value different elements than do casual consumers. I think this is what people are really saying when they call something a “higher taste”: it’s got those qualities you appreciate when you know a lot about the medium. And obviously there’s a significant emotional reward here: that’s why people get into things on the first place. We call this “sophistication”, which is one sense of the word accurate but in another an unwarranted value judgment. It’s the degree to which we conflate refined palettes with “good” ones that everyone is ultimately arguing about in discussions like this.

When referring to taste, if we replaced “higher” and “better” with “advanced”, I think we’d both satisfy the view that ultimately what you get out of something is its value to you, while at the same time still express the view that there’s something special about this or that movie that requires some careful thinking and experience to appreciate.
They do say in the article that this is impacting root area below tilling depth, which I presume means that deeper tilling could help, but I'm unaware of whether this level of tilling involves turning a dial, or designing new equipment.

I know that in the Netherlands this has huge implication. In the Netherlands the groundwater level is artificially maintained. Farmers have a large influence on this level historically because they don't want it to be too high or else they wouldn't be able to use their heavy equipment. But since there has been quite a drought in the summer in recent years many other parties want to increase the ground water level.
More often, I see the argument for generics in terms of developer productivity.

The digital crack / cocaine has already worn off of these addicts? That is quite a surprise if true. Maybe the pandemic fuelled and accelerated these sort of behaviour and now that the pandemic is over, it is now not 'cool' anymore? Oh dear.

Perhaps the 'cool kids' are already now in the process of finding the next hit to get addicted to.

Speaking as a farmer, the "plow pan" is an old and well known concept. While it is true that routine tillage does not reach these depths, there are various techniques, including what is known as deep tillage, to try and address the problem at those greater depths. With the advent of GPS, controlled traffic farming moved to keep the machines on the same tracks to limit the damage to specific paths in the field in recognition of the same.

Maybe the study is talking about something else, but if that's the case I'm not sure it has made itself clear. We are very much aware of what goes on below the root zone and understand the potential yield loss impact that can come of it if not managed well. We work closely with the scientific community to ensure that we are aware of these types of things.
Don't lose the irony here:

>Here's why:

1.Series battery cells in a battery pack inevitably become imbalanced. This is extremely common and why cell balancing was invented.

2.Dyson uses a very nice ISL94208 battery management IC that includes cell balancing. It only requires 6 resistors that cost $0.00371 each, or 2.2 cents in total for six.

3.Dyson did not install these resistors. (They even designed the V6 board, PCB 61462, to support them. They just left them out.)

4.Rather than letting an unbalanced pack naturally result in lower usable capacity, when the cells go moderately (300mV) out of balance (by design, see step 3) Dyson programmed the battery to stop working...permanently. It will give you the 32 red blinks of death and will not charge or discharge again. It could not be fixed. Until now.

At the limit (infinitely wide load), the max sum somewhere in the middle is just going to be the point load at the surface (plus the weight of the dirt). The load you've described isn't an infinite motion machine.

I guess you're saying constant pressure x wider = more weight? So is GP, but the other way around: more weight divided by more width keeps pressure constant.

Do you really want me to respond to this question?

I'll set aside a whole hour, but I think it'd be rude to list off all the reasons I'm annoyed I didn't get the role I applied for, or pointed at something a better fit for my CV.

The larger issue is I applied there after having my career obstructed for over a decade because I agree with the fouders. I've met several of their employees -- I told many people offline some of them were incredibly skilled in their roles.

That meta level pattern of being obstructed, trying to help others who have that same issue, then being thrust further into precarity really grinds my gears.

Feel free to ask another question like the above, and I'll reply in even more detail.

> I'm always surprised how little interest there seems to be from the international muslim community in the Xinjiang situation

What international muslim community? And if one existed, why would the international muslim community care about US/European funded anti-china propaganda which has nothing to do with islam and everything to do with ethnic separatism.

We hate muslims. Killed millions of muslims. We hate chinese people. Killed millions of chinese people. But somehow we care about chinese muslims? How does that work? Why is it we are trying to pit chinese and muslims against each other?

> The actions of China seem at least in part aimed at extinguishing Islam as a religion in the region

Did china become zionist all of a sudden? Also, I thought it was a genocide? What happened to the millions of uyghurs that was "exterminated"? What happened to the death camps? What happened to the millions of organs? They are trying to extinguish separatism.

> But maybe any reactions just don't make mainstream news.

Because it's literally manufactured propaganda that nobody believes. There are vlogs of muslims traveling to china all over social media.

First it was a genocide. Millions dead. Death camps all over china. That proved to be nonsense. Then it was cultural genocide. That proved to be nonsense. Now it's religious genocide. Which is even more laughable. The ughyurs aren't even the largest muslim ethnic group in china.

If you ever doubted that the media/news/etc were truly propaganda, just look into the uyghur "genocide". The media with the government agencies invented a genocide.

The key difference is that unlike lambda where you are charged for network waiting time, Cloudflare from what I can tell, doesn't count time the CPU is suspended for networking operations.

I use a cloudflare worker for DDNS updates, and it runs on the free tier. If the 10ms included network time, my worker would consistently timeout, but it hasn't timed out yet so I must conclude that it doesn't count network time.
A good UI is built from a deep understanding of the users' needs. No AI will ever have an "understanding" of anything, just statistical regurgitation of its learned inputs.
The article is fun to read, but I’m not convinced C’s lack of generics prevents it from supporting fast generic sort. Imagine qsort() being a header library, and a compiler that can inline heavily. What would prevent C from inclining the compare() function, recover the element types and produce specialized sorts?
I truly put on various "standing around in [Morrowind town] during a rainstorm" Youtube videos for relaxation, sometimes. The music, the ambient sounds. It's just the thing.
The "look how fast it's going up" needs a narrative to get going up in the first place...
Very interesting and technical good post!

Found a bug though: the C qsort() comparison callback needs to be able to express a being less than b by returning a negative value. The post's returns 0 if equal or 1 if greater.

My typical implementation for numerical types goes

return a < b ? -1 : a > b;

Owning a "summer" house?
Based on conversations I've had with tenured academics like yourself, providing specifics won't convince you. You could simply say that you aren't qualified in my field so you can't evaluate what I've said, or deny that I've identified enough problems. Those are reasonable counters, but they won't be convincing to me either.

The most effective thing I can do is encourage you to find problems in published papers yourself.

Another factor in my reluctance is that explaining each case would take a significant amount of time. (Brandolini's law, basically.) I can point you to places where I already explained problems I've found, for example: https://pubpeer.com/publications/95455FA4147A9CBD5EAA5185D21...

That paper has over 300 forward citations over about 25 years. It was published first in a conference, and later in the top specialized journal in my sub-field. I went through a large fraction of the forward citations and could not find anyone who noticed the major error I point out. And it's not difficult to spot if one does basic spot checks.

I'm a big fan of the logging module, but it can't solve the problem of silencing or redirecting noisy C extensions. For extensions which you control, maybe the ideal option would be to offer logging configuration, or callbacks, or even integration with Python's logging module. But for externally written extensions, your only option is lower-level manipulation of the relevant file handles. Python's sys.stdout and logging module are powerless in that scenario.

Damn, I never thought about it, but I guess the next cron/scheduling system should really be configurable down to the second, and if it is not defined set a random value between 0-59 seconds as a default. That might make the entire internet traffic and global compute use less spiky.

Tesla battery research group unveils paper on new high-energy-density battery
My mom is completely satisfied with Google, so we're discussing some theoretical mom.

I honestly do not understand the pitch, that's why I want to hear it from the horse's mouth. Scare words like "tracking" and "profile" and "targeting" are used by the privacy fear industry to disparage the practice of having implicit terms in your search query. These implicit terms greatly improve search quality, which is why the results on Google are so much better. Advertisements are their own separate search corpus where good ranking is desired and the implicit elements of the search vector are also helpful there. To me there can be no rational case made that omitting the implicit terms improves the quality of the result.
That last sentence sums up why the home server is still a hobby, even though I pay the bills administering systems. People ask me how I do both without going nuts.

It's simple. At home, the things that annoy me about the job don't exist.

If it's broken and I don't feel like fixing it, it stays broken. No due dates, no planned outages, no SLAs. If I like an app it stays, if not it disappears. No processes or approvals. No people problems. No BS.

They're really not the same thing at all, and I'd imagine many careers that are also hobbies work the same way for many. Playing with cars on the weekend isn't the same as being a full time mechanic.
There’s a whiff of victim blaming here that bothers me.

When taking on tech debt you often get a lot of pillow talk. We have great reasons to do the wrong thing for the right reasons, but that is all forgotten after the crisis is over. Either immediately for those really bad at it, or when the next crisis hits.

I do agree though that when neither transparency nor awareness are good, there will be several crises in the middle that are triggered by the tech debt. I’ve seen that play out a couple of times, typically when I’ve joined a project in progress, and still building trust before I can start pointing out brutal facts.

Some developers are blind to different forms of tech debt. And as long as there is dissenting opinion the business will doubt any information that suggests they can’t have their cake and eat it too. I’ve known a handful of jaded engineers at least who, instead of being afraid or awed by titles, end up treating managers like willful children. It… does not yield consistently good results, but then again I don’t know anyone or any process that does. I’ve seen worse, and I’ve seen better.

> Animals are far smarter than you think

I know this is, like, a meme in our culture. And I get that it's important for the pendulum to swing back from the 19th century idea of animals as dumb brutes.

But human beings are way fucking smarter than animals when it comes to general plastic intelligence and problem solving. I'm not disparaging animals here, and I'm certainly not saying that we shouldn't appreciate their many capabilities. But humans can do stuff like set up a tarp to collect condensation and understand the chemistry behind phase changes for how that works.

Sure, that's because we were taught by prior humans who incrementally figured that out, but no other animal is even capable of being taught anything anywhere near that level of sophistication.

> I also suspect that not all refactoring work is equal, and that most refactoring work don't result in any positive engineering or business improvements.

We have lots of old code in production, some 25 years old. Much of it written during the startup crunch, with little thought to extensibility and so on.

But it works.

So we have a rule to only cleanup/refactor code when we have a specific case which requires us to change it. If it requires a bit more than a minor change, we'll do a cleanup, refactor or rewrite depending on the circumstance.
The more tools you have the more difficult it is to maintain yourself.
In a larger team with dedicated DevOps you might be right. But in my case where I maintain frontend, backend, databases, security, hosting and the servers I cannot have too much complexity. And i find container tools too complex to fully understand as a full stack software developer (not an expert in anything). Same for heavy weight frontend or backend frameworks. I like to keep it simple without too many abstractions on all layers. So far I managed to build apps used by millions of daily users for about 10 years.
It looks like they are just using low-profile mx switches. These are not proprietary, just uncommon.
