Where I live (SW Missouri Ozarks) Lyme disease isn't as common places back east but ticks and getting bit by them are, especially this time of year.

We get lots of folks coming here to hike and camp and backpack in the Summer months, but most locals don't. We go to creeks and streams and lakes and hang out on the rocky banks and gravel bars and swim, boat, canoe (float trips), and if we camp out we set up our tents on those rocky banks.

I (and most everyone I know here) treat clothes I wear when working outside with permethrin. I spray my shoes, socks, denim jeans, and T-shirts. Those will last at least a month and a couple washings.

We also do "Tick Checks" when we get inside after being outdoors. We do get out, most of us live in forested areas and we have gardens and lawns to tend to, so we do get bit, there's no getting around it, but we get those ticks off fast. I've never had an engorged tick on me.

And I treat my clothes when I go hiking, camping, and backpacking in the cool season too (Late Nov - Mid-March), but the ticks are not near as bad then.

So, those practices likely also have to do with why very few locals get Lyme.
You should be able to get rid of them near your house though. E.g. by keeping grass trimmed, removing any plants they like, planting persimmon trees to attract opossums, etc.

You mean when the wait staff hands you a menu, and then at a later point you hand it back?
I don't think the commodity drone approach is going to work very well against a competently-run military with electronic warfare capabilities the Russians seem not to be employing.

To defeat capable EW, you'd need self-directed swarms of drones, and we don't have those yet (especially not at Best Buy). I agree that remotely-piloted commodity drones would likely make a terrible mess of something like an African army with T-55s and not much else, and of course today's Russia (I never thought I'd write that sentence).

I concur on the cost of armor, but it comes with significant benefits, hence the investment we've made in logistics to support them. It's only preposterous when the situation makes it so, like a highly mobile island hopping campaign. They worked pretty well in Iraq. Twice.
Doctors. The US is way understaffed for doctors.
I was specifically referring to

AWS is the only one
Yup. The last few years have also seen some of the highest wage growth in decades, and highest saving rates across the board. All that pent up demand and broadly distributed spending power is fueling inflation now. But, in the balance of things, labor did really well.

It's capital that being severely punished now, with negative returns (on top of inflation), it will take years to recoup losses. Anybody hoping of becoming a rentier (the FIRE crowd, seniors looking to retire come to mind) has seen their plans evaporate the last year.

While the truly rich probably don't care either way, their balance sheets are all shrinking nonetheless.

Low inflation may bring price stability and sanity to the markets, but it will not particularly benefit lower incomes.
> the worst data manipulation tooling

For your situation, is it possible to separate the tasks: Using Python to handle manipulating the data, then JavaScript to display it?
Well, a recruitment agent or HR person with experience would probably know the answer to your question.

But reading your comment, my first reaction to "I find it hard to believe" is "Are you just looking for excuses to not take action?".
Here's a ~4K line implementation of a useful GoG subset that you might find useful:

Well, it's good that there are _some_ nice things about ticks...
> Predictably, the Fed's quantitative easing combined with stimulus created inflation.

Combined with the removal of the conditions to which the stimulus and easing were responding, largely, the effects of both voluntary and mandatory behavior changes associated with the pandemic. (That's also why this didn't happen with last fiscal/monetary stimulus, because the underlying conditions didn't snap back as fast, allowing stimulus to unwind without overshooting.)
I don't think they meant it literally, but more in the sense of different places on the trade-off continuum: E.g., academia is willing to tolerate more bad behavior but less lack-of-smarts.
i’ve had people like that on my team. i’ve had people who, like yourself, primarily complain about the former. guess which one was more corrosive to the team?
Been looking for this for a long time. Previous workarounds relied on Alfred, which is fine if you already use it, but it just felt hacky to setup a command palette for each app one by one. Today I found this and thought others might enjoy it as well.
That's a distinction I didn't make because I don't care about it and it isn't relevant to the point I made. If a colleague with a doctorate wishes to be referred to as "doctor", it is unprofessional to choose to refer to them otherwise. Further, knowingly and deliberately using an undesired form of address for them is trolling; it's the exact opposite of professionalism.

None of this is news to Kraken, whose CEO helped maintain a "more troll-ish than 4chan" group on their Slack. Professionalism simply isn't one of their company values.

At any rate: my point remains --- there's no apparent overlap between Kraken, where unprofessionalism and cultural activism is coming from management, not from activist employees, and progressive organizations, which is what the Intercept article is talking about.
Renewables are far from $0 opex, and your statement about 'no reasonable expectation' are somewhat unbased.
Not wasting food is just normal though, or is it just so ingrained in me that it only seems so?
I think unemployment hurts the poor the most because bosses fire the least productive people (untrained workers), even when those people spend a bigger portion of their salary on consumption and thereby generate demand for products to sell. A lot of the more "productive" people already have what they want and spend their money on acquiring capital which is kind of pointless if nobody is there to buy your products.
Yes, but it won't keep you from getting COVID.
Why is that though? Wouldn't something like `mov eax 0` also work?
Sales tax, property tax, fees, etc are a rounding error essentially and are local. At a Federal level they are meaningless.

Saying that I'd be all for a Federal sales tax of 20% if we could nearly eliminate income taxes.
Huh, interesting. So your postgres can basically run arbitrary code on behalf of the user? I'm talking about stuff like https://tada.github.io/pljava/ where you can use the DB to invoke whatever code you like, outside of any sandbox. Like, could I upload a PL/Java function that probes your internal network? How are you making that secure?
It seems like they can barely keep the site running as it is. To avoid giving it the HN hug of death, is there a mirror we can change the link to?
I have about 5 productive hours and I get a ton of work done. The other three hours I'm pretty much here commenting on stuff.
If you cut carbs and just eat more protein instead you can literally die [0]. AIUI you're supposed to be replacing the carbs with fat when doing keto.

I've known a few heavy people over the years who claimed to be eating keto and never seemed to be losing any weight. Whenever we hung out they would use their purported keto diet as a green-light to get extra meat and cheese in whatever we were doing, and inevitably they would also eat carbs. French fries, beers, late night donuts, ice cream, the usual slip-ups.

If a person lacks self-discipline, a keto diet turns into an extremely fattening diet. It does not degrade gracefully at all. You have to either stick to it and stay in ketosis, or reel in your fat consumption something fierce because it'll all get stored as fat when you're running on glucose.

It's kind of a major flaw with ketogenic diets IMHO. The diet inherently gets a person into a habit of consuming rich, fatty foods. But when they slip up, which let's be honest, most people will. It becomes something along the lines of the most fattening diet possible.

There is something really special about a 1-hour loan period for a digital book, and I'm grateful to IA for letting me experience it.

Personally if I'm interested in a book, especially if it's on sale, I prefer to add it to a short-term wish list and then put it away for a while, giving some time to consider whether it's more of a passing interest, a possible new interest, or more of a core interest and worth considering because its content will likely help improve my fundamental energy levels in some way, or something like that.

Some book services make this process of mine a total PITA. Like with Google Play Books, I really like the responsiveness of the their app compared to the Kindle app, but sometimes you put a book that's on sale on your wish list so you can check it out later, only to find that the price immediately reverts to pre-sale. It's hard to not see that as a predatory pricing change, bug or no.

Switching over to IA, the one-hour loan really helps me figure out WTF I'm liking/disliking in a safer, less-mercantile context (:-)) and a lot of the time what's needed here subjectively is more like a dip into an unfamiliar world for a few minutes, nothing worth spending money on.

To me this is a massive improvement over more typical sampling models like the first-chapter-sample which a lot of the time is more like a waste. In a physical bookstore I always got a lot more buying-impetus if I could just skim the entire thing, and again about an hour was all I'd need for that.

So this has been really cool to experience, just as a me-sized data point, and a good reminder to donate to IA.
Not a direct answer, but an advantage of Israeli armour is that they only need to deploy locally. This means less penalty for armour than US systems which are designed to be carried in air transports for foreign deployment, or Russian units designed around train transport. The Israeli Namer IFV weighs more than twice as much as a Bradley IFV, and can carry more troops.
Yes, I will pay extra if it’s an option to fly with their planes.
The downside of v8 isolates is: you have to reinvent a whole bunch of stuff to get good isolation (both security and of resources).

Here's an example. Under no circumstances should CloudFlare or anyone else be running multiple isolates in the same OS process. They need to be sandboxed in isolated processes. Chrome sandboxes them in isolated processes.

Process isolation is slightly heavier weight (though forking is wicked fast) but more secure. Processes give you the advantage of using cgroups to restrict resources, namespaces to limit network access, etc.

My understanding is that this is exactly what Deno Deploy does (https://deno.com/deploy).

Once you've forked a process, though, you're not far off from just running something like Firecracker. This is both true and intense bias on my part. I work on https://fly.io, we use Firecracker. We started with v8 and decided it was wrong. So obviously I would be saying this.

Firecracker has the benefit of hardware virtualization. It's pretty dang fast. The downside is, you need to run on bare metal to take advantage of it.

My guess is that this is all going to converge. v8 isolates will someday run in isolated processes that can take advantage of hardware virtualization. They already _should_ run in isolated processes that take advantage of OS level sandboxing.

At the same time, people using Firecracker (like us!) will be able to optimize away cold starts, keep memory usage small, etc.

The natural end state is to run your v8 isolates or wasm runtimes in a lightweight VM.
A new vulnerability in Intel and AMD CPUs lets hackers steal encryption keys
Since Uncharted is an attempt to make a game series by putting AAA game stuff in the skeleton of an Indiana Jones movie, it suffers what they call “ludonarrative dissonance” by not just being a walking simulator game.

Indiana Jones might kill one guy per movie; Nathan Drake has shot thousands. He’s one of the most prolific mass killers in human history. And yet the cinematic parts of the game don’t seem to notice.

You would have concluded that regardless. And, regardless of any other facts.
Norway doesn't produce consumer tech products. Most of Norway's tech exports are oil or shipping related, in particular some state-of-the art offshore machinery.

The only consumer product that is produced in volume, is fish.

Keep in mind that Norway only has a population similar to South Carolina. There is a limit to how diverse the tech sector can be.

Sweden, the closest neighbour, is governed in very similar ways, and has plenty of familiar consumer oriented products.

I’m trying to suggest a better way for you to grow an audience.

But if you don’t respect the sites you post to then you will get no traction and you will get flagged (or the equivalent.)
The things you list seem actual examples where decentralization did take off, but faded once people recognized the tradeoffs of other features implied by decentralization and the mainstream audience chose that they do not really want decentralization - i.e. it's not that it did not yet get a chance to take off, but rather that we-the-peopled tried it out and practically found out that for most use cases we prefer centralization.
We are not ready to answer this because pricing is always a model that is built on top of your COGS (cost of goods sold) and validated on real usage. We just started to onboard users - we have hundreds now, but it's just the first week of doing it.

The rule of thumb of software cloud margins for infrastructure is 60-70%. So we need to be there over time at least. So sorry for non answer, I hope we will sort it out soon.

RENTAL RACK SERVICES are not purely a cloud based service in the way AWS provides. That article is not pertinent with the presentation of their 'facts'. That is not purely cloud market share.

From another User on this thread:
"If you look at just the cloud the way AWS does it - running code through their service in various datacenters as a service, it's above 50%."

That user is correct and so is my 'Anecdotal' experience. I'll enjoy my insanity. Thanks!
Yes, I realise that. That's why I said "I don't know" and "for comparison".

My point was that GWh-scale thermal battery proposals would be competing with already existing (and possibly cheaper) chemical batteries, and that energy storage on this scale is not unheard of.
There isnt a silver bullet for every situation and condition, but a moveable metal box that can target heat-emitting targets in its line of sight is useful. As long as its potential is fully utilised like machine assisted target aquisiton and liquidation (ai assisted optics + firing)
Have used it for many years as a personal wiki/database

I pull out the app all the time to answer various questions

For example:

* What kind of oil does my car take again? When was the last oil change?

* How much did I weigh in 2015

* What's the square footage of my apartment?

* What was my start/end date of job X?

Lots of random details like that I may need to reference later

I use the tables a lot for anything that changes over time

Stuff like this is pretty unstructured so I like having arbitrary hierarchies to keep it organized
Infantry are vulnerable to literally everything, and yet no one besides some dingbats that watched terminator too many times are suggesting the age of infantry is over. Aircraft are vulnerable to missiles. Is anyone suggesting the age of aircraft are over? Drones, particularly consumer quadcopter adopted out of convenience are vulnerable to missiles, autocannons, and electronic warfare. Does not the very same logic being offered as proof of the end of tanks apply to drones as well?

This whole argument is stupid and predicated on a vast misunderstanding of how combined arms operations work. Systems are not discard because they're vulnerable, if they can be employed in a way that min/maxes their impact vs vulnerability.

There is nothing new about this conflict as far as tanks and ATGMs. Everything happening here happened in the Yom Kippor war, in Grozny, in Syria, and in Yemen.

You just have a bunch of lazy bloggers and journalists making a sensationalized claim to sound like something exciting and dramatic is happening, at the cost of grossly distorting the actual reality.

What will change is future tanks will likely prioritize active protection systems and sensors over bulk armor. But the basic concept of combing firepower, mobility, and protection is not going away any time soon.

Example, Rheinmetall just announced their new tank prototype this week: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fTBA5tQsDbE

A couple key features:

* an active protection system specifically for top attack munitions like Javelin

* a remote weapons station with a machine gun specifically for engaging small low altitude drones like quad copters

* flexible manning, including looking at autonomy and remote control

* ability to host drones for its own situational awareness

* a loitering munition that's being co-designed, launched by the big gun

Maybe the era of the T-72 is over. But the people confidently predicting the era of tanks and armored fighting vehicles in general are over, cuz missiles, cuz drones, frankly, have no clue what they're talking about.
Well, financially (and logistically) the Russians are fighting a losing war of morale and economics. Every day the Ukrainians effectively resist the Russians is a victory for Ukraine and the West.

The West will HAPPILY fund the Ukrainians to proxy destroy the Russian military, and proxy bankrupt them.

We'll see how long Putin lives with cancer. The speed of deployment and assumed schedule for victory would point to very fast cancer.
Cystic acne is often, but not always, caused by a reaction to a dietary ingredient. Fasting a full day between meals can also often resolve cases.

I will not reach for drugs until I have done everything I can in good faith with food and meal timing (24 hours between meals).
It should be "script" I believe, short for "prescription".

Scrip is a word, but its meaning is different and it's close to archaic.
Yes, very true. Or at least you can usually collapse. Memory is the issue, and collapsing multilevel doesn’t always fit.

There is some cost in the current hardware to multi-level traversal, that’s true. But still top & bottom terminology isn’t future-proof, doesn’t translate to CPU, and we might not be limited to 2-level GPU traversal forever. More to the point perhaps is that “top” and “bottom” aren’t words that describe the function. It’d be better to have terms that say what it does rather than where to find it, right?

Full disclosure, I work on OptiX. (But to be clear I literally have no idea if/when we might see multilevel traversal in hardware. I just happen to be in favor of seeing it someday, and if/when it does, TLAS and BLAS will become more awkward or get replaced.)
We will take a note of that. We are all catching our breath now. More will of course come! Thank you for pointing this out.
Absolutely (well, if you add the missing comma :) ), just less efficient.

That 0 has to come from somewhere, while in the other case XORing a register with itself does not involve loading any data. It's also shorter.
Add to that: inflation was transitory last year and this year up until Powell secured his reconfirmation. Then it became a problem.

Why shouldn't we expect people who work in cities to be able to live dignified lives in those cities? There are always going to be janitors, home care providers, baristas, grocery store employees, etc. Our daily lives depend upon them. It's insane to me that we have a system that requires those people to exist but barely pays them enough to afford to live.
It is but it isn't surprising. Pareto Principal and all. So naturally, 20% of the people contribute 80% and 80% of the people contribute 20%, or thereabouts.

The bottom 50% contribute nothing and in fact are a net negative contributor when you consider welfare, housing, etc, and other benefits. Of course, this doesn't stop certain scumbag pols like Warren from lying to them that it's the other half that's ripping everyone off.
Do you have a link for this? I hadn't heard about the Russian language being banned. I did know about this from 2019:

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-ukraine-parliament-langua...

"The new legislation requires TV and film distribution firms to ensure 90 percent of their content is in Ukrainian and for the proportion of Ukrainian-language printed media and books to be at least 50 percent."

It also says civil servants must speak Ukrainian. It does not say they can't also speak Russian.

In any case, that's not a ban.
Wow, that's great, haven't seen that before! Granted, it was some time ago I did a setup from scratch.

Seems that installer is like 90% on the way to be useful as a general installer. At a glance, seems to missing things like networking setup (as most people use WiFi these days, it seems), but at least it takes care of most things you need for a install.
It’s fun
On practical how to:

1. Keep two water reservoirs for cleaning your brushes. One for warm colors and one for cool. (This prevents muddiness in your palette).

2. Knowing when to let the layers on your paper dry before further progress is vital.

3. Carry pigment from the bricks to your palette, don't mix pigments in the bricks.

On technique:

1. Experiment adding water to a pigment on your palette (More water == thinner with less Saturation and vice-versa).

2. Experiment with how wet pigments interact with other wet pigments on the paper. (More water == better flow).

3. Experiment with the paper tilt direction (water flows under the force of gravity and this can be used to create a desired affect).

4. Know how to layer (i.e., 1st layer low saturation, broad areas with high water/flow, final layer is fine detail lines with low flow/higher saturation).

5. You must understand the color wheel and how pigments may mix.

I have beef with this guidance:

> let your palette and paint bricks get dirty

Keep your bricks clean: Let your palette get dirty (if you so choose).
