Crazy part is the last sentence: "The fine is double the one KPMG was ordered to pay in 2019 for similar allegations of cheating." Not a one-off issue.
Ducking specifically refers to lowering the volume of one track based on peak levels in another track. One track "ducks" under the other. It's related to a side chain input on a compressor.

Dynamically lowering a quiet signal is done by an "expander", or a "gate" if it's lowered to zero.
Well, electricity moves similarly to a fluid (not really but the simplified version allows one to reason about both the same way).

It hit me in school that these are very similar and once you understand one you can apply many of the learnings, but especially the high level logic on the other.

Honestly, the environment design reminds me to Day of the Tentacle a bit. It's certainly interesting, I'm curious about how it will look in full scenes.

Still, I'm gonna buy it. It's another Monkey Island. By Ron Gilbert. It could be a text adventure, and I'd still buy it.
I recently left a steady income with all of the trimmings to focus on other things for a while. It was really hard to do! I’ve been employed continuously for over two decades and just the thought of not having a job was scary… much of my role was autopilot and not fulfilling at all. If anything, I felt like I was in a state of decay because it was so comfortable. That feeling of decay then lead to insecurity. The insecurity leads to difficulty making change… so I knew I had to do something. Mostly I’m glad I have supportive people around me so I didn’t get stuck.

The OP mentioned the noses, and the limited detail on the faces stands out as a similarity between your two screenshots. The biggest difference that stands out to me is how skewed the scenery is in the new game. This is a style that shows up a little in the original, but it's more characteristic of later LucasArts adventures.
I think it’s special in the sense that it is surrounded on almost all sides for hundreds of miles by dangerous depopulated wastelands. The only exception is Bree, and that seems like a much more threatened and precarious community. It’s on the wrong side of the Brandywine, and within much easier raiding distance from the mountains, and whatever still lurks in the wastes that used to be Angmar.

There are scattered communities across the region that used to be Arnor and Eriador, but they’re mostly pretty isolated and insular.

For whatever reasons, establishing a stable prosperous community in Middle Earth just seems to be really hard. You’d think with ploughs, and agriculture, and domesticated animals they’d have densely populated the whole region in under a thousand years, but their history is of massive wars that laid waste to anything that hot firmly established, and incredibly hard very long term struggle to get critical mass for a recovery.
It's entirely dependent on hardware. Most installations are either not GPU-accelerated or extremely over-provisioned. A good VDI instance usually costs at least as much as per user as the equivalent desktop PC, if someone started the project because it would be cheaper per user it's a recipe for disaster.

The install at the bank was a bunch of racks filled to the gills with NVIDIA Grid cards and high-end Xeons, and they had a setup in every region they did business in (you could get your instance migrated to another cluster if you had to be in another office to reduce latency, IIRC). It was super interesting to me because it was one of the few times I've seen VDI work right, leaving the only blocker to dev work being the crazy security policies.
Didn't google used to incorperate this into their search rankings? There's no way they still do that today right? Imagine how amazing it'd be if they suddenly turned on the button to downrank pages as a function of how many cookie banners and autoplaying videos etc you have to click away to get to the content.
I've done some surveys. Organizational size/maturity is predictive of who load tests. Also, financials, e-commerce, insurance, airlines, as well as large-scale and high stakes.

What sucks right now is that load testing tools are not DRY. The re-implementation of page walking logic in a separate tool delays releases by a full sprint at most orgs.

That's why I wrote a DRY load testing tool that lets reuse your existing implementations, like Page Objects (Playwright, Selenium, Cypress), custom code, or PostMan requests, to run full fledge load tests at scale--not a half-baked export--it runs your actual code from within your own EC2 account.
Btw this procedure doesn't work for partitioned tables. For some reason, it locks the table and does a table scan anyway.

The workaround we came up with was to add check constraints for instant partition attachment, lock the table, detach all the partions, update the type on each partition, update the parent table type, then reattach all the partitions.

In our case, we didn't already have those instant-attach check conditions, so we incurred table scans anyway to validate those, but if you were to make multiple updates, you only have to do that once.
I moved from GitHub to Buildkite for my side project because it builds a ton of stuff and I was waiting a lot for CI.

With Buildkite I set up a 40/mo Hertzner box with a ton of power, getting about 20x throughput for the price. Not affiliated with them in any way.

Overall the interface is nicer I’d say, but the dedicated machine setup did throw me for a few loops.
And it isn't the first time, MEPs were targeted before too.
I was confused about your comment at first - I was sure it was already a feature where you could use ```X to render the contents with a language. E.g. you could go ```java or ```javascript and get syntax highlighting for that language.

What you're saying is since ```mermaid now renders a mermaid diagram, there isn't a way to display a block of raw mermaid code with syntax highlighting.

That's a very valid point.

Isn't this exactly an example of you assuming you know better? How have you verified your own position, your own beliefs about transgenderism and gender dysphoria? Is your position actually coherent and defensible? Putting aside how gender theory conflicts with common sense, there are plenty of philosophers and scientists who, as philosophers and scientists, find gender theory incoherent. Not just wrong, but incoherent. You wouldn't know that by listening to the journalistic fluff and ideologues, but these gatekeepers of "reality" are precisely those whom we need to be wary of. Have you tried to examine the best arguments against gender theory?

> What I fear is that loss of certainty is something that keeps some people into the naïve realist position or so I've noticed in my own social circles.

> It's like talking to a brick wall. And honestly, I've given up. It's just one tiny example in a sea of ignorance

Are you certain about these claims? You seem to be fairly confident. While your interlocutors may not have the sophistication to have reasons for their positions (I don't know), that doesn't mean there aren't valid arguments against your convictions, and yet you seem quite certain that there aren't, whereas I claim that there are.

I think what needs to be underscored is that, in the typical course of affairs, we make best judgements based on our prior beliefs and revise them when we have sufficient reason to revise them. You may not have come across such reasons (again, I don't know), but if you did, would you consider revising your position? Do you have good arguments for your position?
I didn’t know having multiple remote jobs simultaneously wasn’t kosher. Why resort to Hollywood? I do it all the time. It’s called being a contractor.

One of my previous leads suspects a contractor did something like this for an in-person role. We only did one or two phone interviews for such roles, and the guy did well enough to get brought on for a 3 month contract or something. The guy who showed up didn't seem to know as much as the interviewee, and was always on the phone. My lead suspected he was getting help from "somewhere else." In retrospect, he suspects the guy who showed up may have had a different foreign-country X regional accent than the person who interviewed, but it's impossible to know for sure.

He speculated that some unscrupulous but relatively knowledgeable guy was sitting in for the interviews, and then coaching the incompetent applicants day to day for a cut of their pay.

In the end he just let the contract lapse. Not a whole lot you can do since it would be really hard to prove any kind of malfeasance, and to make the accusation would just make you look crazy and paranoid.
Removing serial is a lot harder these days bc the compression of stamping alters the metal and makes it hard, "filing off" does not work. Old guns maybe depending on how it was done, but new ones there is specific regulations (I think pressed to 0.003 inch?) so chemical etching will show different densities.

These days they can even catch over stamping, I heard about some cases using xray to do it. So it's more trouble than it's worth to remove serials on new guns usually. For some reason I hear about almost no instances of peening to hide it, which is probably because you need to know the right size and pressure so it mostly makes sense at scale.

It's funny the number of criminals that run around with literally filed off serials and get themselves literally 10x the time on the gun charge as whatever else they caught for.

You can instead get a shitty gun bc some have badly done serials (speshul wepunz has done this before, but ofc then you have to shoot one lol), you can get an old gun, you can finish an 80% lower. But most criminals just steal or straw buy, or buy smuggled guns (the philippines is notorious for this).
The plant they are building can store 10 hours worth of electricity at maximum delivery power (200MWh @ 20MW). TFA does not say how long they can store the electricity for.
I realize, but I still disagree with one of your points:

> My counter point (and the one you keep dodging) is that the things that are EASY to do yourself aren't fucking cheap in the cloud, and they scale out just fine for the vast majority of non-Saas businesses.

And I don't even disagree with it for its inherent correctness, but because nobody ever said you absolutely have AWS for something that doesn't need it. Most users here tend to discard cloud platforms for even the most obvious and suitable use-cases, and keep on iterating how their single dedicated server can do all of it. I'm also not a big fan of telling someone they don't need to use AWS if it's clearly a side hobby project because that is how we all learned.. by playing with cool modern technology for fun.

The real issue is super simple.. AWS just needs a hard cap functionality so stuff like this can't happen.
A 10ms invocation sounds like a myth. I've certainly never seen one that low for a lambda that actually does anything. All the serverless stuff I've worked with (mostly in Python) operates slower than a CGI script. 100's of milliseconds minimum. When your serverless endpoint needs to integrate with other AWS services, the configuration can get complicated fast. VPC endpoints, IAM roles, security groups... it goes on and on.
A straw purchase is when a gun is bought for someone who is not allowed to own one (a "prohibited person"). Commonly, one person supplies the money for the gun, while the person with a clean criminal history is the one who fills out the background-check form.

Straw purchases can happen if you are selling privately too. You should take a few steps to make sure the buyer is legit. Ask to see a concealed carry permit or FOID card. Or ask for a driver's license, and put the info down on a bill of sale that you then both sign. Keep the bill of sale forever, in case the gun should ever be stolen or used in a crime - it can help get the gun back to the new owner if the ATF does a trace.

Just because you own a gun, using it is not without ramifications.

In high school, my driver's ed instructor (here in California) said (jokingly) if you screw up and hit a person, you better hope they die. The implications of a death on your hands is a bounded lawsuit / jail problem. Someone surviving is a much less constrained problem. While crass, it made a point.

If you shoot someone in self defense and they are killed, you are dealing with voluntary manslaughter as the most likely charge, argue accordingly. If they survive, they get the opportunity to muddy the waters.
> This is less common now, but it was huge during earlier development; a lot of the async work only ran on nightly compilers.

How is this a problem? The crate authors targeting nightly features know full well that they are restricting their pool of users, while at the same time driving the testing and design of nightly features forward. If no one is actually using them, then they are unlikely to get quickly stabilized.

> If the Rust team refuses to ship the features in stable releases

Can you show a case of refusal to ship a needed feature?

> Rust developers have little reason not to use the features.

Rust developers of end user applications don't. Crate authors do, if they want to gain wide adoption.

Absolutely true, there were and are MANY compilers for the 6502.

However, the 6502 was a challenge to implement high-level languages on, IF you also wanted speed and small code size. But since the 6502s were slow compared to modern chips, and could only address 64KiB directly, you typically also wanted speed and small size.

I posted some links to some approaches here: https://dwheeler.com/6502/
Yeah but the impact of somebody knowing I have a gun is higher.

1. People can come target me for stealing

2. If the steppers pass a law targeting something then they know I have to turn it in or they come kick down my door and shoot my dog. I really don't want a database of e.g. AR pistols or braces so if the govt decides they are illegal they can't try to force me to turn them in.
I've had remote candidates in India lip sync an interview, but I don't think it was deep fakes, but rather the audio was coming from someone off screen while the person on screen was trying to mimic them.

My guess is someone was trying to help them get the job, i'm not sure to what end though and regardless, we didn't hire the person.

He didn't go to prison for the 39 week abortions, he went to prison for the 41 week abortions, you know - the ones you were in favor of.

You said it never happens, but it does. Most doctors that offer the late term abortions don't get in trouble because they're not as sloppy as him.

So the question remains, the one you refuse to answer - why would we not restrict ELECTIVE abortions after a certain point in a pregnancy? What is the argument against that? Nobody is arguing against it if they're medically necessary, I'm asking specifically about elective abortions beyond the point of viability. That's it. That's where the breakdown occurs for most people.
Firearms are nice targets for thieves because they are have a high profit-to-size ratio, are easy to fence, and are untraceable (unlike, say electronics that have built in tracking devices).

Note that this is only for bytes indexes. Hash is not so limited.

Tho at this sort of sizes it seems unlikely such simple indexes are of much use. I guess the range matching abilities of btrees could be but that seems unlikely, a 2700 bytes path-like datum is a lot.

At this point I like to wrap my remoting code (including optional retries) into async functions that return a promise. The promise resolves with a result from the server, or rejects with any sort of error that can come from an XHR (or now, fetch), and the consumer can decide what to do with that.

In my software I almost never do automatic retries, rather I warn the user that there was a connection error if necessary, and revert whatever state was waiting on a call. In my view anything that can fail silently probably does not need to be retried right now.
Vercel uses AWS lambda under the hood as well, so it's probably comparable. AWS lambda is a bit smarter than what you said, it keeps containers around for some time able to respond to more requests. There's also concurrency, so if there's a lot of requests it'll keep a lot of containers running to deal with them, and then spin them down as the concurrent requests stop. The exact details are AWS secret sauce AFAIK, but Vercel claim in their docs that under 1% of requests get a cold start which is where a container needs to be setup to handle that request. https://vercel.com/support/articles/how-can-i-improve-server...

I feel conflicted on this.

> It makes the gun owner a lucrative target.

I mean, on one side they're saying that owning guns is necessary to protect their property. But now they're saying that owning guns makes them a target for crime? To me it seems like they're trying to have it both ways on this.

> Criminals get guns through burgling and robbery.

Private transactions are still legal. The gun show loophole is still around. Buying a gun and gifting it is legal.
That's...sad?

We try to cultivate a mentor culture. We have internal mentorship, college internships and organized internal cross-training. You can even do extended cross-training in other teams and try out new jobs (within certain limits). And the fact of the matter is we're terrible at it; should be more organized, easier to access, have more objective outcomes, with even more mentors. I bet an unfortunate fraction of our people don't even know we have formal programs. But very large numbers of folks here want it to work, and keep helping out, keep volunteering. I could pick up the phone right now and probably get a dozen or so greybeards from the mainframe group who would say "sure, I'll show a new kid the ropes".

But you're certainly not an anomaly...there's clearly more people who would say "screw 'em...I got mine" than consider helping someone down the ladder.
A gift would still follow the state's laws on firearms transfers and eligibility, which can involve various forms and middlemen. With a straw purchase you're just handing the gun to someone else.

What you're describing is the cold start[1] request lifecycle for Lambda functions. But if a successive request comes soon thereafter, there's a faster warm start path, which is significantly quicker (~ <100ms).

There's also a way to "provision"[2] resources to ensure that the function always stays warm, but that adds to the fixed cost, which is otherwise, near zero, if there are no requests.
