It could also be a matter of perspective. For some an island that is basically a sulfur mine could be a fascinating place to explore.
Yeah, I was actually picturing such a feature with an existing database being implemented under the hood using a transaction block around the query input. This idea could also be extended to the most basic case of a completely empty database without modification, instead of just resetting the database, it would just use the same transaction logic.

The transaction would be left open until the user either decides to re-run the (presumably modified) query input (causing a rollback first) or to (presumably) end the session by downloading the database (causing a commit first). This behavior would only apply in the auto-resetting “fiddle mode”, of course.

Anyways, it was just an idea I was thinking about. I’m sure this idea is not flawless, and you probably have other, higher priority features in mind.
Did you just expose the UART as sensor to HA? If so, you might try a custom UART component with a loop that runs on the ESP to manage the desk level. Then have input and output components for sending and receiving the desired height from HA.

As my parents have a dairy farm, I can tell that the idea that they have time off after doing the milking is false. There is always something to do and it is also easy to fall into the trap of not calling your mother because it is not worth it. The solution is to set clear boundaries.
Is it just me or are the size benefits of GaN power supplies overblown? The 100w GaN type-c charger for my new laptop is less than ten percent lighter than the 100w charger for my decade-old Dell, while being six times more expensive to replace.
This but unironically.

Transparent law enforcement has never succeeded anywhere. (The US makes the laws notionally "transparent" but written so broadly that they apply to everyone, and the opaque part is under prosecutorial discretion, but in practice it's very much the same mechanism as what the likes of e.g. China do)
I’ve always wondered how this works- sure these folks are already personally wealthy, and they have large stock portfolios, but the mechanics of tapping into that for liquidity is interesting to me..

Say an exec makes Jassy’s base and has a large equity packages. Do banks feel comfortable writing loans against to-be-vested RSUs? I’d imagine they count RSU vesting as heavily discounted future cash flow.. but not sure.

Plus there is significant volatility in the actual value they bank at the end of the day- sure, speaking on normal terms having an equity package fluctuate at this scale isn’t significant to an individual’s finances, but might be to a bank underwriting, say, a recent Snap exec’s loans…

Chinese New Year celebrations and US Thanksgiving holidays are similar potentially large superspreading events, though they're decentralised. Airports themselves may serve as hubs.

College Spring Break, with congregations in Florida, Las Vegas, and Mexican resorts are also as concern. Florida spring-breakers featured early in the US Covid outbreak. US spring-break revelers vacationing in Mexico were an early phase of the 2009 swine flu outbreak.

Has there been much scientific research into how much improvement you can get through beeline or other similar tools like bionic reading?
It seems that a possible French term is "grandes correspondances", but "grandes" means "big" or "great" and some uses of this term seem to refer to important connections or major locations for connections, as opposed to physically distant ones. (Like if we referred to "the biggest tourist destinations", a common interpretation could be the ones that receive the most tourists, rather than the destinations that are themselves largest or most populous.)

"Correspondances" are what could be called "connections", "(inter)changes", or "transfers" in English (either locations for, acts of, or opportunities for switching from one transportation service to another). The word is also used for situations like air travel connections, not just subway connections.

I only speak a little French and mainly formed these conclusions from some brief web searching just now. :-)

This Tweet refers to "la plus grande correspondance souterraine possible sans prendre un seul train" (the largest [i.e., longest] possible underground connection without catching a single train). So, it can clearly refer to a physically "large" distance to travel for a connection.

Isn’t it a lot smaller (not lighter) though? I think the main benefits are size and efficiency, not weight.
They have poe esp32 products as well.
Protobuf is rather (extremely?) weak type-wise, so a lot of it probably boils down to "it has reasonable / usable types". Like, it doesn't even have semantics for saying "this string is assumed to be a timestamp" in a way you can refer to in multiple locations, the best you can do is name your field "ThingTimestamp" and hope people get the right idea.

This also seems to be describing a querying system, data mapping (e.g. for using csv data), runtime calculated data (likely used to drive the csv reading stuff), etc a number of other things that are less related to just data and more how to get that data, beyond just an RPC API described by types. E.g. the annotations and computed types could describe a fair number of sql queries in your data model, so you could probably just point it at a database with very minor "glue" code.

Whether that second part is relevant probably depends on how much you want to write in your implementation language vs in taxi's language... but it's substantially different than protobuf in any case.
In psychology/behavioral economics this is known as loss aversion. Most people would rather avoid losing $5 than not earning $5. But given the rather broad view of reinforcement learning this paper adopts, I would guess that the authors would not view this difference in sign as important. (And indeed, in the more ML/AI view of RL, viewing reward as a negative loss or cost is quite standard and for the most part the sign is seen as an arbitrary convention).
Mini-ITX?
I found the rotation inconvenient as well.

As the instructions in the bottom suggest, arrow keys can be used to skip over the times, which was good. It would be neat try having the up/down change the time (as they currently do) and left/right (instead of also navigating the times) do east/west rotation (or vice versa).
At this point I'm surprised any Google platform is being used at all. Google in every sense don't care about their users, only the data their users generate. You just cannot trust any Google service, and should use any service as if it won't be there tomorrow.
The NERVA engine [1], [2] used 60kg of 92.5% enriched Uranium.

The online nuclear fuel cost calculator [3] shows that at current Uranium market prices, the cost for 1kg of such highly enriched Uraniums is about $50k, so the whole engine core would come at about $3 MM.

This engine had a weight of about 2.5 metric tons, a thrust of 75 kN and a specific impulse of 860s.

For comparison, the weight of a SpaceX Raptor engine is about 1.5 tons, it has a thrust of 1.8 MN (24 times higher than Nerva) and a specific impulse of 360 s (2.4 times lower than Nerva's).

Vertica came out of the C-Store paper (https://web.archive.org/web/20100619191833/http://db.lcs.mit...). The C-Store paper pre-dates ParAccel being incorporated. Many of the C-Store authors were involved in Vertica's creation.

If you want to be technical, C-Store was the real innovator...and those people refined and commercialized it as Vertica.
well, let's be honest here: some of this is legitimate due to the nature of those frameworks, not necessarily sqlite. If you deploy a rails app with 8 process workers powered by a sqlite db even on a single host you're going to have database locking problems.

You have to be able to architect your application to send all write traffic to a single process and have a language that can keep up with your database while doing that. There are "better" architectures for this stuff now that will enable that which have come together in the last few years, and a resurgence in smaller indie projects willing to deploy sqlite on servers and do weird cool things like this fiddle or datasette
FWIW, whenever I've profiled startup of .NET apps the JIT is pretty fast to start up.

The only times I've noticed slow startup on recent .NET versions is with WPF apps, and that seems to be mostly because WPF does so much work on startup.

Travellators are surely fairly standard - most major airports have dozens. And the Paris metro has enough that I imagine they would reuse one or a handful of common designs across their network.
Well they’ll just limit table rows to 6 instead of 10.

That’s what React does: Instead of showing a table of 200 rows, the performance of React is so poor that it’s a design trend to make you paginate through 10-line pages. So, soon 6, “for better performance”.
Your question is a trick question because the first few assumptions beg all the detail that would be required to answer the question.

But fundamentally if you were to reach that size the assets you were using to collateralize the coin would in some sense have to have some leverage against the coin itself. Ie be loans backed partially by the coin or something. But because you can’t pull yourself up by your own bootstraps that would never work, and because 50% of all the US dollars in existence is a mindbogglingly large number no player in any market could ever be that large. In particular, regulation actually prevents you from being that large in lots of important ways. For example if you try to participate in equity markets more than a certain percentage you will have your exchange access shut off and you will be investigated for trying to run an illegal market corner. Even if you set regulation aside, as you try to buy 50% say of a government bond issue to have those assets to pledge you will find the price moves further and further against you. This is the supply/demand mechanism forcing you to give more than 50% of the dollars away to other market participants meaning you can never get to the goal that you mention in your hypothesis.

Quite separately your thought experiment doesn’t apply to the situation Vitalik is talking about- he specifically says in the article he is talking about pure algorithmic stablecoins rather than ones backed by assets held by custodians of the type you mention here.
Why is the solution to "uneven tax structure" always to raise taxes? can we just lower income tax to same as capital taxes instead? Thats real money in your pocket.
I have a laptop that draws 240W over a square slim tip, and recently saw a 240W GaN power brick. Like the photo in the article, it's comparable to an iPhone in size, but what prevented me from buying it was the weight (400g) and the price ($155 IIRC).

I think the sweet spot of GaN is in wall adapters that deliver 18-45W over USB-A/C for mobile devices rather than PSUs where the size/weight doesn't matter as much.

Nah. I shower at least once a day, sometimes two and still I will perspire as soon as I walk.

And I would even say that I sweat a lot less when I can’t shower, which could make sense given that taking a shower basically removes the oily film of the skin.

tbf, while I take a shower everyday because it feels good (and it’s what is socially acceptable), I really think we are not made to be washed frequently. I doubt our hunter-gatherers washed themselves everyday with soap. Yes we have better hygiene but still, I doubt our skin like it.

> The capital being invested has already been taxed at the source.

So? A worker has already paid all kinds of taxes in their life, but they still get taxed on their income.

> Capital gains shouldn’t even be taxed. I earned it, paid taxes on it; what I do with it beyond that is no one’s business.

Your original capital is yours, but if you get income from it, you should be taxed the same as any other income. My time is and should be my own to do with as I see fit, but I still get taxed if I get income from it.

Most of those definitions can be reduced to a single definition:

"the" <something> = the speaker believes that enough information has been given for the listener to know which <something> is being referred to.

Examples:

"the man who hit me" - makes sense as part of a story where only man hit me.
"the world" - there is only one world, so we know which one it is.
We used XMPP as our work chat back in 2010's. We run our own server and everything. I am not sure why -- was it a bad setup or an bad protocol? -- but experience was horrible compared to other chats.

The biggest problem I remember was that XMPP was (is?) about message delivery, while what we really wanted was "synchronized message log".

So multi device did not work: One device was designated "active" and would receive the messages, others would not.

There was no history sync of any sort: If you had checked messages from home, they would not appear in your work computer's history next morning. If you replied from home, you won't be able to see your own messages at work PC.

Anything mobile (mobile phone, laptop in coffee shops) was also unusable -- you cannot start app and catch up on all missing messages. You had to be online to receive them.

For mobile access, I ended up doing custom Pidgin plugin (in perl!) which would export messages to text documents served over webserver, and then I'd visit that page from my phone to read the messages.

---

I still don't know what was wrong with that system, was this our admin not spending enough time on the server, bad documentation, or bad clients -- but this did not really matter, this experience really destroyed XMPP brand. We used Google Talk and Slack later, and they were "just working", no batteries required, no messages lost.

The funny thing I believe that Google Talk might have used XMPP under a hood at some point -- but it worked really well. So it is definitely possible to build working, feature-full things on XMPP... you just had to extend it and use it as underlying layer. Kinda like TCP and IP in a way.

The claim here is even stronger, and somewhat different: that suffering and reward are fundamentally different kind of things, and cannot simply undo each other, not at any exchange rate. The difference is qualitative, not quantitative. For example, if you lose your eyesight, it's such a big loss, that most likely nothing can balance it out ever. It has no "five times as good" equivalent.

I use the first Pi-Zero with the HiFiBerry DAC+ Zero Hat to connect to a Boombox Xtreme that I had around already. For connecting another Pi-Zero to my Hifi, I used the `HiFiBerry DAC2 HD` for its really good sound quality - however, that was around USD 50.00.
I was whiteboarding with a fellow (girl) student in college. We were sketching out a client/server architecture, and I abbreviated server as "srvr". When it came to the client, I thought I should also make it four letters, so I wrote "clit". I stood back and looked at it. After a couple seconds pause, it dawned on my brain that was probably a terrible shortening. I wordlessly erased my gaffe, and just wrote out the whole word.

So yeah, I can believe it happens by mistake at times.

Imagine if you could not make a single friend and nobody wanted to socially interact with you. If this was your condition, wouldn't you fly to a land where people would talk to you?

Or alternatively, imagine you are very very hungry, and a person who doesn't feel hunger doesn't understand why you would go to great lengths to eat food.

Some people also don't feel pain either and don't understand why people go to great lengths to avoid the feeling of pain.

You can make many metaphors for whatever things you desire and avoid on a feeling level and understand how non-asexuals feel.

I write a lot of .NET software that runs on Linux and for console apps, startup is generally comparable to Go - the impact of the JIT on startup times is greatly exaggerated in my experience.

I don't find the random gap argument convincing. There are so many articles i think the gaps are going to be very small and reasonably close in size as to not matter (i have not done any analysis to back this up).

Defining soft skills so that they are only social skills is just the bias people have against technical skills. It comes from the biased view that all programmers do is equivalent to solving middle school math problems over and over, so there is no creativity in it.

It is also a redundant definition, if you say that soft == social and hard == technical, then why not just say social and technical skills? However any experienced programmer knows that there is much more to programming than just knowing a language and frameworks, so to us it makes perfect sense to talk about soft technical skills even though a manager might think that we only have hard skills that can be jotted down as a list of checkboxes. So I think that breaking this misconception is very important, there are plenty of soft technical skills to care about when evaluating a hire!
