There may be a cloud. There's nothing to stop Hammerhead uploading data from the app to SRAM. That's probably what Shimano are worried about.
Why is payment tied to location anyway?
It never made sense to me that companies tie the payment to the location where the employee lives.

If anything, discourages top talent from applying to the job openings of said company, because the practice seems discriminatory.

The boss of where I used to work he once told me: "The wages are ZIP-tied." (as in, per ZIP Code related); I asked him why, but he was not able to explain, he attached himself to it like an old adage you don't need to think about or challenge from time to time.

Posts like [0] make me think why isn't this the rule, rather than what it seems an exception.

This is also one of the ways a government attempts to promote clean energy: by banning, in part or in whole, a source of dirty energy, people can either do without... or switch to a clean-energy source.

Instead of electric vehicle tax credits, which cost the government in question an increasing amount of money as more people use them, you could apply a similar force with an ICE tax on purchasing new ICE vehicles, which raises a decreasing amount of revenue as people stop buying ICEs in response.
How you feel relates to you and your preferences and doesn't really say anything about Rust versus let's say Go.

Is your software more performant and does this translate to additional customers or reduced costs? Is your software more stable and does this result in reduced support costs or happier customers?

Testing effort is likewise not a decisive matter. In fact it's quite likely that what one wins time-wise on the testing side is lost on the development side.

What are the cliff notes, because every time I bring this up here one gets accused of being a bigot and missing the nuances of what is essentially nepotism and racism that gets a pass because A: Indians make up an inordinate amount of CEOs in Tech, and B: Well, we've always done this and anything deviation from this brings everything else into question.

I worked in the health sciences before and I saw a lot of this, and got so fed up with just abjectly horrible most workers were who got a pass because of their surname. It's odd, my colleague was a MSc in Microbiology and was Indian, too, but we both had to claw our way into the Industry (in different fields) and she was always worried he H1 Visa would be the only thing that kept her in the US.

My only conclusion was she wasn't a high ranking member of the caste system which is why she was just as hungry as us undergrads in the 2008 financial crisis. She ended up quitting her role in a Govt agency, and did her PhD last we spoke.
You should probably specifically mention PoW and not crypto mining in general. There are crypto mining mechanisms like PoS which use a negligible amount of energy.
I think I can conceptually disagree even with things that don't affect me. Similar to how I'm not a fan of blood diamonds or ethnic cleansing.

If you frame the situation like this, then the second is obviously better. If I'm targeted with better ads, my bank account might decrease thanks my own choices.

Even as a PoW author, I support this bill. Note that PoW is a consensus method, not an authentication method. It's also separate from transaction validation.
How is it different than in case of every other language? Also, why not another newer language tops the list?
The entire underlying premise of a union is that:

1. In any negotiation the idea of a single individual vs. a giant company like Tesla in this particular example is about as clear as an example of a textbook power disparity as you can imagine. Like you just don’t have any kind of meaningful influence.

2. Employers are by their nature going to act in their own interests.

3. The interests of the employer and the employee are going to be in conflict at least some of the time.

Therefore, by negotiating as a unified voice rather than as an individual you can start to reduce that huge disparity of power in the negotiation and therefore you as the employee are less likely to get screwed over.

That’s the entire value premise there. It’s good, it’s in the interest of both you and your coworkers, more people should do it, especially if you are in the US which has notoriously lacking labor laws / protections compared to many other countries. Don’t let bad examples be the reason to doubt the entire concept of organising.

It sounds like someone made up another meaning of "own"

In a lot of cases, "owning" is less good and using the word "own" to describe it is just misleading.

Like how shareholders "own" a company. Funny kind of owning. "Owning" a field; it's not like you can take it home in the back of your car; it's not like owning a pair of shoes.

The problem with words here isn't people making up another meaning of "own"; it's that "own" is used for a lot of cases where, frankly, people just don't "own" it.
This reminds me of the horrible state of mac gaming back in the day when almost no games existed for mac. (Minecraft was one of the only decent games I remember being able to play, due to being built on opengl.) Things aren't perfect on that front yet but it's certanily improved a lot. I wonder if them forcing people to use metal for graphics could bring this wall up again to make the bar too high for developers to port it.

Yes, that is correct.

It’s just a convention. Early English writing sometimes also capitalized all nouns.

A tenth of a percent is definitely not a rounding error of global energy usage. It's equivalent to the consumption of 8 million people. Would you call New York City a rounding error?

The term mining is only used for PoW. For PoS the term staking is used.

Where's the proof that Rust makes it easier and faster to create applications? In my experience it's harder and slower compared to other languages like Go and even C++, but you get memory-safety in return while keeping a very good runtime performance profile.
Yes, some of the details are wrong but it’s irrelevant to the point of the bill. The point is mining with carbon based power is something they want to stop.
So you still require a write barrier to deal with old->new pointers? Or you mark the whole heap but sweep only the nursery for small collections?

Right. So this is simply beating up some dataset until a news-worthy pattern appears. Add in self-reported and this is more wishful-thinking than it is science.
I think Rust has a good chance to take away market share from Ada and Ocaml. Its eco system (packages, documentation) is more comprehensive already thanks to its broader appeal and being in fashion. I don’t see why stronger verification should not appear at some point. Progress and need is there.
I mean it literally does and the climate does not care about the order heating factors are removed. It only cares about the integral. Downsizing cars is a way harder problem politically.
Makes sense, and designing proper constraints is an art on its own.

Out of curiosity, did you apply the constraint as a term in the loss or did you use constrained optimization?
A powerful concept for thinking about small data is bias/variance tradeoff. The ELI5 is: data is how a learner selects confidently between one model and another. So if you have little data, you must choose between high bias (fewer models to choose from) or low confidence (can't be sure you picked the best one).

Bias in a lot of contexts is Bad, and large data techniques like DNN are basically about how you can have biases that are so vague the learner has plenty of room to surprise you. But when you add bias that truly aligns with the structure your learner is going to be exposed to, you enable it to reach confidence sooner. Many important techniques for small data are about allowing you to express specific biases. For example:

- PGMs and Probabilistic Programming are about giving you a specific, interpretable structure for how your data are related to each other.

- Picking informed bayesian priors

- Data augmentation lets you add bias by expressing what kinds of variation don't matter (I.e. permitting and fuzzing your dataset)

- feature engineering is about selectively adding and removing biases in terms of what kinds of data transformations are informative

With all that said, the large data ML community has produced an incredible tool for practical work with small data: transfer learning. If your dataset is related to a larger one (e.g. by including natural language), you can borrow informed biases from models that were trained on a much larger corpus.

Did you read the article I linked to? It’s literally a rounding error because we can’t accurately measure global energy usage down to the 0.1% level.
If you see Indians in KFC asking for vegetarian choices, you can guess that they are upper caste. Alternatively, if you see Indians speak of animal rights, while wearing leather bags/ belts or shoes you could also guess from that.
I don't have too deep knowledge of Scala compilers, but Scala 3 is a huge revamp so I wouldn't be surprised to see it change. Though both of the mentioned cases seems to be easy to "fix" by the JIT compiler -- the JVM is really good at inlining and short-lived objects are almost free.
I don't think fears are phobias though? If someone said there's a poisonous snake behind you, then it's not a phobia to move away.

Like many psychological things the line is more "when your response is damaging to yourself and others".

I knew someone with a phobia of stickers on fruit. Just tried to Google what that is called and found this comment from a sufferer:

"I can't have them on my skin and if anyone put one on me without prior warning I would panic and scream. I HATE HATE HATE ones on fruit"
Isn't it the same in the countries that are looked down at because they have the 'overt' type of corruption?

It's just the way things are done there, and it's so entrenched that people cannot step back and see it rationally. Unless they are, say, from a country where the corruption has taken on a different form, or from Mars.

I'm Italian, living in France but still with friends and relatives in Italy: the substantial reason is simple: offered wages is too low to live. So many prefer black jobs and subsides because with a normal not-so-qualified job they simply can't survive.

The actual government, as many others in the recent years, follow interests from USA in their geopolitical stanzas instead of Italian one (one of the reasons some Citizens accuse it of high treason, while the majority simply do not care) and the country slowly sinks on its own weight because a society can't prosper if there is a so deep difference between rich and poor and no mode middle class in between. That's is. Of course that's denied by most because neoliberals have drawn such society so it must be good. Right wings say the fault is in young and slackers who profit from the (demolished) social system to live as parasites, left-wings (dummy left, clerical in reality) say the fault is covid, Ukraine, grasshoppers and a bad quantum conjunction between a butterfly in the South Pacific and a shrimp fart but none want to admit that a functional society must be social with a difference between rich and poor, but not too much, with a social system, without being an actual fascio-Chinese system etc.

Many instead of considering the power of numbers and so create a simple and not-necessary-violent nationwide mass strike imposing government and their private accomplices going to trials for MANY crimes coming back to a Republic decide that's nothing to do because all others do nothing in a loop and left the world advance seeing evolution from the window. Some like me choose years ago to emigrate even though I still have to find an active population to a point of thinking back at classic aristocracy and bourgeois models...
Well the concrete tradeoffs differ from case to case of course. But grandparent's suggestion that resources should be distributed irrespective of their usage is nevertheless wrong.

In the end, you can look at the tradeoffs to try and infer regulatory agencies' priorities. As far as I read, the californian approach does indeed favor agricultural use. At the same time, it is obviously a good idea to limit unnecessary consumer use (lawns, albeit a small share of overall water consumption).

That said, imagine there was a drinking water shortage in LA. I guess the policy would change rapidly. So it's a question of the associated costs, and the costs of civil unrest are high.

Of course, the US is such a political disaster right now that a lot of really fundamental and trivial societal issues are negotiated through high-stakes (and sometimes violent) confrontations rather than through civilized political means. Woe to thee o land whose electorate is so spiteful.
Maybe they just realized there's a bunch of expenses they don't need...or can streamline... I think and see how Covid gave a bunch of people time to focus on what they found was important... literally in my case I've found it's cheaper travelling in the winter to a "cheap" warmer country such as Egypt or South America or even New Zealand (Scoot does cheap no frill flights from Athens to Melbourne) living off odd jobs or freelancing...
I mean at this point volunteering or living off the land is a good way to opt out and find "meaning" rather than be stuck in a polluted city in a "mindless" job...
Could you elaborate a bit more on how you do this, or point to resources on it? Do you mean putting constraints on possible parameter values, or just on the loss function values itself? Thanks.
There really aren't any environmental concerns with crypto. Crypto (PoW), like any other industry, invests in energy infrastructure. The concern right now is that its sometimes cheaper to pollute than to use green energy. All our politicians have had plenty time to ensure this is not the case; We should be more than angry that they have failed.

If we establish, through regulations, subsidies and taxes, a situation where it is always cheaper to use green energy; Crypto would bring nothing but massive investment in green energy development.
I don't know what the contractual structure entails, but I thought

German banks support an open protocol: FinTS/HBCI with which you can automize stuff. There's a Python library for it [1] and I wrote my own little cli tool that allows you to configure your (potentially recurring) target vs. actual expenses, while setting expiration dates to get notifications about unexpected transactions. Still somewhat WIP though

That's not very useful comparison. How does it stack up against payment systems' energy consumption?

While the article is an absolutely excellent analysis of Rust from the low, PL-level ergonomics point of view, it seems to largely miss (or, intentionally, skip) the bird's eye point of view of complexity inherent to software development.

I was recently tasked with developing a fragment of a mobile app written in Objective-C++ (an awesome PL powerhorse, BTW) that mixed multi-threaded (multiple dynamic UI layers, multiple levels of background processing) and async (multiple over-the-network downloads, multiple database updates, etc.) To make a long story short: even though I've been coding C++ for 20 years, I am still a bit depressed about how badly I got my own @$$ handed to me on my first try. It took a ton of bug hunting and code refactoring to get everything right. Being forced by Rust to throw together a couple of somewhat inelegant reference counted pointers is... trivial compared to the benefits Rust offers (safety).

I was also recently tasked with investigating serverless. To make a long story short: due to the fact that serverless is billed by the amount of memory used and the CPU time required to execute a lambda, so far in my analysis Rust is coming out on top over interpreted and garbage-collected languages to such extent that it actually makes the difference not just between a "good" and "very good" solution, but between an "impossible" and "feasible" one, cost-wise. Being forced by Rust to read a couple of books on how the new concepts of ownership and lifetimes work is... trivial compared to the benefits Rust offers (efficiency).

If you define "feasibility of a commercial success" as "finding a pain point and being the only solution for it on the market", then it becomes more and more likely that, with time, Rust will win over many other PLs.
I deem the fiat standard responsible for countless wars and atrocities that have occurred in the past 100 years. The environmental issues that come from mining seem so minor and insignificant in the long run that all the aggression that is justified by them prevents me from taking such attacks seriously. Every year humanity develops better solar panels, leverages geothermal energy more efficiently, improves the fission NPPs and comes closer to designing fusion reactors. It's only a matter of time before we enter the age of cheap, green and almost limitless energy.

I think it's a question of mentality. Some people bet on human ingenuity, and some are willing to halt the progress completely because it hurts "mother earth" in their imagination.
Gnucash. Not that hard to learn and use, free, libre, and pretty solid community support. It's served me really well for several years including some changes in my financial situation and complexity.
Yup, same here. As a web developer I'm always baffled when I have to make things work everywhere all the time but when it's Google they're like "oops, looks like you need to install another software to use our stuff".

I actually bought one phone sold by Murena because of burns from multiple lineageOS phones not getting any updates or being buggy (I don't blame people porting lineageOS it's a hard and thankless job).

The experience is pretty good since I don't have to do anything of the following anymore: unlock bootloader, install TWRP, install lineageOS, install microG, install F-Droid, install Aurora Store and hope for the best but more often than not something fucks up along the way and I get no notifications, no network location, etc.

Would recommend.
