Rentals have exactly the same maintenance requirements as owned property. The fact that you pay for a lease doesn’t magically make the roof last forever.

As a renter, this overhead is baked into your lease. As a homeowner, I can simply tap into home equity to do a major repair at single-digit interest rates over a decade. Something you will never be able to do as a renter.
Dating books are written by people who are in the business of selling books. I would doubt many elderly couples or parties of who are happily-married for decades write dating or relationship advice books. Keep your money and talk to happy couples: it's better information for cheaper.
You should look into the context of other things that was pretty much discovered by luck. Becquerel found something weird with Uranium and Curie found few other materials with radioactive properties without having any sort of theories or prediction at that time.

> one has to wonder if they ever use GIMP to do any realworld image editing at all

Like i said, the feedback loop with actual artists has tightened in the past years, especially with ZeMarmot project becoming real active in development.

> first and foremost they need to employ an ergonomics expert on their team.

Well "employ" may be the problem. I believe there's two or three contributors who will accept donations, but nobody is actually employed to work on GIMP full-time. If you know of ergonomics experts who'd like to contribute some time to a free-software project, or can produce a full-fledged UX audit for a few bucks, i'm sure that will be of interest to GIMP people.

> I've lots more instances of GIMP problems but this is not the place to raise them.

Maybe not, but thanks for taking the time to point out two downsides (slowness, and removal of a feature that's key to your workflow). Hopefully you can find time to contribute to the project: identifying hot/slow code paths doesn't have to be very complex but is very workflow-dependent so a report of yours can be very useful for optimization purposes.

As for the fade option, i have no idea what this debate was about. Please don't hesitate to post links to blogposts or tickets in the future.
Very much no. A lot of them are, somewhat sadly but predictably, targeted at larger markets and therefore pull data from NOAA for the US, the UK Met, and the German weather service (DWD), etc. but then fill in the gaps with something like NOAA that will provide predictions for everywhere in the world.

You also quickly get into different models that are used by different services, usually because they work better in the specific environment they're targeting. For instance, Estonia and Finland, possibly with some others, collaborate on their own weather model that works pretty well in the Baltics. There are also highly-regarded models like the ones provided by ECMWF that are only available for a fee, so a lot of apps won't include them, instead preferring to simply use NOAA because it's free for everywhere.

The Riddle That Seems Impossible Even If You Know the Answer

I can't really tell to what extent you're not computing previous digits (or doing work that could quickly be used to come up with these previous digits) with this algorithm but O(n^2) seems quite heavy compared to
O(1) (I expect) to get the n'th digit of op's number.

Maybe I should rephrase it:

My assumption is: If there is an O(1) algorithm to determine the n-th digit of an irrational number x then the number is still "of a different class" than the likes of pi and there OP might not be able to induce things from this "lesser class of irrational numbers"

However, it's just an intuition

Code replay attack on the myGovID Scheme
Who is we?

Speak for yourself… it’s a very outdated view… it’s some sh!tty legacy code frequently causing problems - that badly needs rewriting.

And someone more intelligent / independent wouldn’t go for that arrangement you laid out.
I’m not sure but I’d guess that step 1 is usually too difficult. So you can either:

- produce short lists of candidates, in which case your pruning will often end up with no solution at all because you’re missing the correct answer in your list of candidates for some of the clues.

- produce long lists of candidates, in which case your pruning won’t converge to a unique solution.

Using probabilistic approaches, I think you can

- include the possibility that a given clue’s solution isn’t on your list at all (i.e. your solver will occasionally deduce a solution from crosses only)

- use the probabilities of your other candidates list to have a better chance of guessing these unknown words and of choosing the right solution when your pruning doesn’t give a unique solution.
Most docker compose files I've seen are not complex enough to warrant scripting, but look way better as YAML than JSON. In those cases I think StrictYaml would be a great fit.

Also scripts are very different from configs. Configs are declarative, (most) scripts are imperative. If your config is complex enough then maybe you should move some logic into imperative code, but you can still have a config on top of that.
Wow, that sounds crazy. I'm curious what kind of system are you building and what types of tests are you running to get to those numbers.

Shannon's estimate was based on very primitive methods; by generating random positions and using fairly advanced methods to see whether they are legal or not (ie., can you construct a proof game for it, or prove that it could never happen), you will get much closer. A group of people have been working on this, and their current best estimate is (4.822 +- 0.028) * 10^44, or a bit over 148 bits. (Amazingly enough, Shannon wasn't all that far off on this account! His estimated number of legal games seems much more dodgy, though.)

http://talkchess.com/forum3/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=77685&sid=e3...

Practically speaking, https://github.com/tromp/ChessPositionRanking gives a number between 0 and approx. 8.7 * 10^45 for any legal position, so it's only a couple of bits away from optimality.

We end up sacrificing a lot for the lowest common denominator. We have to ban things, or license them, or regulate them, or have strict enforcement.

> lack of common use is all that is needed for the benefits

This is already wrong though. To deliver the benefits modern languages abolished the go-to feature, it's gone as the article explains and as Dijkstra anticipated. Early on in his letter Dijkstra observes that with procedures the use of a textual index as go-to's destination won't work. I used the phrase "local structured control flow" to emphasise that the defanged goto in a language like C++, unlike this go-to idea, isn't just a jump, the compiler is going to emit all the extra work needed to alter control flow here, just as it would for break or return.

> Human language is cooperative

I have tried very hard to refer everywhere to the idea Dijkstra is talking about as go-to rather than goto for exactly this reason. The article takes pains to explain the distinction too. Co-operation is not one sided.

You cite D, which inherits the defanged goto from C but further constrains it (in D the goto can't cross an initialisation, so D's compiler needn't handle that), and then you cite V, a language whose main recent claim to fame is that it can take the game Doom written in C, transpile it to V, and then transpile that back to C, it's not a surprise to find V has lots of C warts preserved exactly as is to deliver this capability.

> cobble it together like pygoto

Pygoto is a cute hack, but it is not actually the go-to feature. Here's how pygoto "works": It takes your entire program, it snips off the lines before the one you want to "go to" and then it asks the Python interpreter to execute the resulting text with your current global state and exits with any resulting return code.

This is why, as I already mentioned, it runs into a recursion limit when you write a program which goes back on itself, if you actually have go-to then this is merely an infinite loop, but Python doesn't, so hence the recursion.

> You can change whatever program counter is in the jump buffer and go to any (executable) address in your virtual memory that can handle the transition.

The longjmp feature that's actually supported is far less powerful as I explained. What you're doing here is relying on implementation details as if they were features from the language or supplied library. There's no practical difference between this strategy and just writing inline assembler to do the jump, in a complicated program it probably just won't work for a variety of reasons and nobody is interested in helping you figure out why.

> Retain hairy low-level, but provide nicer high-level things

... provision of the "hairy low-level" in this case makes the nicer high-level things harder to use effectively. That's what the article is explaining. Provision of this capability is harmful, which gets us right back to Dijkstra's letter.

> running experiments to verify strength gain all takes a lot of compute

Fun fact, in my master thesis I proved that quantum computers can verify this using quadratically fewer iterations than on a classical computer. That is, if it takes a classical computer c*n iterations to say with 99% certainty that agent A is stronger than agent B, a quantum computer can do it in d*sqrt(n) iterations, where c and d are agent-independent constants (obviously n is not agent-independent as two closely matched agents are harder to distinguish than a steamroll).

The number of qubits needed put this into the far future of quantum computing, but it's neat nonetheless.

Having read a lot of this thread before seeing this, I keep wondering to myself, what must she look like? I think physical attraction is the first and most important thing to match on. After all, you really do need to fancy the other person. To go on over 100 dates without success had me thinking you must be unattractive. So, I went to your domain and saw you are obviously attractive (to me anyway - married, not looking for a date). It isn’t your looks is all I’m saying, so I guess this is a positive.
All I can add is my own experience. I found love when I was least expecting it. In a bar of all places, 2 weeks after arriving in a new country for a working holiday. Happily married for over 15 years with 2 kids. I was absolutely not looking for a relationship (how often have you heard the cliche that you find love when you least expect it?). I suggest focusing on who makes you feel good and puts a fire in your belly. Try to forget about kids and all the rest. That (hopefully) comes later, after you have found someone you like, as the relationship develops. Pressure and desperation won’t do you any favours. As difficult as it probably is with your current mindset, stop trying too hard. Live your life. What will be will be etc. Once you stop looking and trying too hard, you will probably discover something new. Certainly what you have been trying isn’t working! Good luck in life.
