This is true, visual search has a optima when the contrast of the object in the search field is above certain threshold. Below that magic threshold, it is useless (for e.g searching for a Jigsaw puzzle piece). But, when visual search works, it is probably ridiculously fast for the evolutionary reasons you rightfully mentioned.

There are a couple of things when we search for something in a text box: We're pattern matching what we think their database contains. If the hysteresis between the search and the match is small, Album grid view might work. You have to know the cover art a-priori though. But if you are vaguely looking for something, list is far better.
I like the answers to your questions here. I wonder if in 100 years or so, our energy consumption won't be what 640K of memory (enough for anybody?) was around 1980. Time will tell if it will be a drop in the ocean then.
I've seen companies use wave energy before (1) but not ocean currents, but as someone else pointed out, the currents are a lot more powerful and consistent than winds so it makes sense.

I know Carnegie (2) talk up the fact that submerged equipment very rarely gets damaged by storms etc compared to floating or land based systems. (As long as they can keep fishing trawlers away and ban boat anchors in the area.).

The weirdest Apple Music bug I had was:

Watching Netflix with Safari, and then going to the Apple Music local library ("Recently Added", then click on an album) literally broke Music. It looked like this[0], all the Music toolbar buttons were gone, and keyboard shortcuts (spacebar to play) no longer worked. Pausing the movie and switching Safari tab to non-Netflix was the only solution. This was still the case on a completely clean install with only Music and Safari launched. I guess it had to do with the DRM Safari uses to play Netflix content messing with the Music app.

But did Apple really never test watching a movie and listening to music at the same time, with the built-in apps? That bug survived from early Big Sur to at least the Monterey release candidate, again on a completely clean install (I didn't test it again afterwards). Huh? How?

Oh, you'd lose a challenge certainly but you'd have many more remaining besides. Biters provide a nice clock for advancing your base by forcing you to progress your military industrial complex, but like all Factorio problems you solve it by automating the solution. I think the presence or absence of biters changes the game less than choosing between default worldgen and train worlds.
While this is true, it doesn’t help the optics from a customer point of view. Granted the number of people in a zip code who just download Brave will be small, but those are your new customers and will be freaked out. They will tell their friends. People who are learning about Brave from the mailing will question how Brave got their info to mail them (even if that isn’t reality) and see the mailing as not respecting their privacy, thus killing their message.

This whole idea was simply bad. Billboards, TV, and stadium advertisements would have gone over much better if they wanted some old-school methods. It gets in front of a lot of people with no questions about privacy or targeting involved.
how could they find out unless you tell them?

From Wikipedia which you quoted bits from: "In cryptography, encryption is the process of encoding information. This process converts the original representation of the information, known as plaintext, into an alternative form known as ciphertext. Ideally, only authorized parties can decipher a ciphertext back to plaintext and access the original information."

> You brought it up in the first place with a twisted definition.

I did no such thing. You appear to be confusing idealism with the definition of encryption.

In any case we already have words for transport encryption, encryption at rest, and end to end encryption when referring to modes of encrypted data. Those are sufficient to cover the spectrum of encryption which exists. Calling encryption of one mode "unencrypted" which is not your ideal mode of encryption is disingenuous at best.

It is possible that I was not sufficiently clear with the way I phrased it; I apologize for that. The story of this particular case technically does not involve Trump or Pompeo.

The linked article, however, does list the following paragraph:

"The Trump administration went to even greater extremes than its predecessor to target the press. In 2017, then-CIA Director Mike Pompeo reportedly considered kidnapping WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, who at the time was living in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London. Yahoo News reported last September that former President Donald Trump even raised the possibility of assassinating Assange. Pompeo was reportedly obsessed with targeting Assange after a massive leak of CIA hacking tools, known as Vault 7. WikiLeaks published Vault 7 documents in 2017, revealing that the CIA had the ability to hack the computer systems built into a wide range of consumer products, including cars, televisions, and home appliances. In April 2017, Pompeo labeled WikiLeaks a “hostile intelligence service.”"
BTW, a lot of people in this thread compare destructors to Java's try-with-resource (similarly, C#'s using), or Go's defer.

Here's one important difference: Destructors work in standard data structures. If for whatever reason you want to build a map<string, list<fstream>>, and the map goes out of scope, all files are correctly closed. (Rust's drop semantics work the same way.) That's a lot more work in Java or C#.

> You lose flavor from the solidification process but the end result is all from the orange.

"All from the orange" is a clever conceit. It's a processed food product. If you get Minute Maid, it incorporates a flavor pack created by Coca-Cola. It's not listed in the ingredients because the flavor pack is made from orange.
The argument about the poem is quite right. I’m actually taken aback that it has been read in any other way, as the English seems straightforward to me.

‘And though thou hadst small Latin and less Greek’ = ‘even if you had little knowledge of Latin and less of Greek’

The whole argument is just saying that Jonson is using the subjunctive mood, which seems obvious. If he had wanted to use the indicative, he would have written ‘thou hast’ rather than ‘thou hadst’.

I personally slightly prefer approval voting (e.g. select all candidates you like, no ranking, most votes wins). It's simpler for voters and RCV is more likely that people will be lazy and only select one choice. But it does have the problem that many people will think it violates one person, one vote.

There are municipalities and states that have implemented both. Voters handle them fine.

More importantly, a large minority of people in the US who already believe the current voting system isn't fair, so why are you afraid RCV will make it worse? I think it will be the opposite, since it is likely to cool the political polarization and encourage the election of more moderate politicians that a larger majority are ok with.

A hopelessly utopian endeavour that is devoid of any reality and only can work through some form of short term tyranny (lockdowns for example) and afterwards it is immediately stopped or phased out because it is unsustainable.

As you say, there are good ways of working and bad ways. And there are certainly tasks that would deserve getting done much more than others. Which is yet another reason why the mere amount of „sweat“ can rarely be a measure for how much „good“ a person is doing.

Unflattering reasons why I'm attracted to Effective Altruism
Of course. If someone wants to be angry, that's their choice.

Yet a lot of people get angry easily, and being an easily-triggered person works against a person's life. No one wants to constantly have to walk on eggshells around another person in order to be their friend, partner, child, etc.

Personally, I don't enjoy the emotion of being angry. If you do, more power to you.

The source coming from and trusting the lawyer doesn't change the fact that the lawyer was informing to the FBI and was an associate to this journalist.

> Eventually, he confessed to me that the FBI had been waiting in Bruges to trap my source. He said that the FBI knew about the meeting because he had told them about it, and that he had also told the FBI that the source wanted to provide me with NSA documents. He admitted that he had been informing on me.

The journalist has spooks all over him. Whatever you think of the journalist's intentions, you'd have to be a complete fool to get near him. At least he's been honest about this much, so future leakers will be forewarned.

The first C compiler I used! I found a bug where if you allocated arrays larger than 64K (using far pointers of course) accesses would wrap around at 64K. I guess they didn't implement far pointers correctly. Anyway I sent them a bug report with a reproducer as a typed letter -- from the UK to the US -- including an international reply coupon[1], and they were kind enough to send me an update to the newer version on a 5.25" floppy. It fixed the problem.

There are too many confounding processes and molecules to attribute my results to these specific things however.

Typically a rowstore index is a B-tree data structure (on a column) that points to data pages in a rowstore dataset.

You can sort with a rowstore index today, but I imagine you have to materialize the index in some way to take advantage of vectorization.

I mean it isn't quite accurate if you look at the list of names of people getting awarded government contracts. But the principal does make sense.

SA is pretty close to societal collapse IMHO. The more the government expands its purview the more disfunctional it becomes. Those in government in SA have absolutely no interest whatsoever in running a country. It's probably got one of the most diseased bunch of techno/neuro/auto-crats imaginable.

Public dialogue there is extremely toxic and barely comprehensible. Reality does not need to be consulted in any discussion.

Of you don't know there are widespread rolling managed blackouts (loadshedding) that can only get worse. The current president was asked to sort that out ten years ago and achieved literally nothing. The previous president is a vile human being and cartoon level criminal.

The country is being slowly but surely captured by The CCP as well.

They have an now decade old policy of implementing a UK style NHS healthcare facility. But in their proposal they plan to ban private health insurance. In a country with practically no tax payers this can't work. It's a fantasy held up by lies and glib posturing.

Another view is from an early ANC strategy paper (which I've since lost) that the goal is to destroy all elements of civilization so that those who have standards of care for themselves and their family will leave the country.

Coinbase is the lowest-friction, most legal, way to buy into crypto. They make it easy for nontechnical novices to get set up, and they comply with KYC laws etc. This has helped them build a large customer base and stay on regulators' good sides. Think of them as Crypto Robinhood, if that helps, though once you get into the weeds they have very different business models.

If you want to watch them on TV, watch the Hollow Crown series. They're the best adaptations I've seen, but more importantly they're among the best plays too.

> The journalist has spooks all over him.

Not sure what this is supposed to mean exactly. It's pretty much a given that if you're reporting on national security, the government has its eyes on you.

"In January 2014 — just as the FBI was planning its ambush operation — the U.S. Supreme Court was asked to hear arguments over my subpoena in the leak case involving the mismanaged CIA program. At the time, I was facing the possibility of going to prison for refusing to reveal my sources if the Supreme Court did not rule in my favor."
Exists much closer parallel to Reichstag fire, when in 1993 Russian tanks shoot on Russian parliament.

But as all Russian parallels, it is really farce, because those parliament was mostly communist and Nazi.

And to be strict, because of this confrontation in Russian power, they have not invade Ukraine before 2014 - was too engaged on their internal problems.
I haven't coded for a while, but here's a weird situation where print() worked better in some cases for me -- you know how people say "I have better learning retention when I take notes by hand"? I found that sometimes the act of writing the print() statement helped to focus my mind and think about what I was trying to debug. For example, what specific aspects of the data structure do I need to see and why? How do I want to frame the relationship between two or more variables? Stuff like that would sometimes lead to the discovery of the bug before I even completed the print() line.

Seeing the state is faster with a debugger is probably faster, but the process is an analog to explaining the situation to a rubber duck.
On Spotify the reason is similar but structurally different. With algorithmic playlists they can tinker with the mix of songs - they can choose what the average royalty payout should be as a target variable for the song mix, so that both more expensive and cheaper songs are used.

> Another crazy point - apparently for liability reasons, recycled water that’s not potable quality (meaning just fine for watering, but you shouldn’t drink it or use in a pool) cannot be delivered to consumers.

But at least in my California town, there is a distribution site where I can go pick up gray water for irrigation for free.
Assuming you’re talking about Poland and Romania, the consensus was that Russia’s initial plan would have been installing a puppet government.

So they wouldn’t have had Russia as neighbor, but a Russia-friendly country, just like they did for most of the rather brief time Ukraine existed as an independent country. Or another Belarus, which Poland at least is already neighboring.

I get why these countries are nervous but Ukraine’s very very different from Romania or Poland or any other EU country.
