I think there are different definitions of what a union even is. German here and I was really quite surprised to understand that unions in the US are apparently per company. I believe in most of the EU, unions are per business sector - so while unions are in a sense stakeholders of the companies (if the company goes bust, it can't provide jobs), it usually doesn't have a specific interest in keeping employees in a particular company.

Yeah, this was my question as well. Obviously wood has its downsides as a building material, but it seems to have some obvious advantages when it comes to renewability and sustainability.
On the fairness point, having a thick bureaucracy allows those within it to help those outside navigate the maze, or outright expedite the process for a fee or favor down the line.

Bureaucracy is the reason long term congressmen and senators are all multi millionaires. It's also the reason why people who work on the military procurement programs end up getting coshy jobs at firms like Raytheon after they are done servicing the public. I rarely go a day without seeing an example of this effect in action.
I’m not trying to be philosophical here.

I’m trying to find those personal specific seeds that drove people to meditation.

Judging by the comments here - there are not that much. Most just repeat common mass media Knowledge about meditation.

Although some comments feel deeply personal, this is why I try to find more evidence, not just put a label on this meditation thing.

Here's the pricing for those that might need >500k/mo. It looks like it won't be available until after this hits beta, but it looks to be $50/mo extra for each 1m calls (plus the price of a membership).
> It's not super efficient, but I am pretty sure you're not going to improve that by introducing an intermediate step.

What's the foundation of that argument? An intermediate step that's achieved more efficiently and allows for a more efficient follow-up certainly can improve the efficiency of the overall process compared to one with less steps?
So, I can use a code from a leaked source code as I wish, and duplicate all the algorithms and methods for achieving something.

Nice.

Well, we're so naive for making clean room development for so long, and writing EULA's with sentences all in caps stating that this is a trade secret and you can't do anything with it.

BTW, I want to reiterate that I'm trying to keep things open, not closed. So I'm not trying to copyright and protect it from being modified. This is what GPL is actually. So, the research is already there, in the form of a paper. You can re-implement that. But, my implementation is under GPLv3. So I'm not copyrighting/patenting the algorithm. It's certain expression I've implemented as a code, and opened under GPL.

As a result, if you derive anything from my implementation, that's GPL too. If you want that algorithm, it's on paper. Go implement that. I don't care.
I felt that conclusion was unwarranted. So she was a 'fake' heiress. Aren't they all? Just jumped-up rich claiming some sort of divine right? Why wasn't she as good as any of them?

Because of dogma, chiefly. People of the time figured she wasn't 'real' in the sense she didn't follow some imaginary ideas of being deserving or whatever. But only after they initially believed her, which means she was socially as adept at the role as any of them.

My wife had a client that went on to play in the walking dead. In order for my wife to be able to continue to do her client’s hair, she had to join the actor’s guild and be “licensed” by them and pay dues. So, I’d say they (at least the actors guild) def can reduce your mobility, even say which hair stylists you are and aren’t allowed to use.

This is a very interesting programming language concept that I didn't know of before. Highlighting the kind of work that risks getting lost as time goes by is where HN is at it's most valuable. I'd take this over 99% of the other stuff that reaches the front page, 404s be damned. It's a feature and not a bug that not everything is about the thought leaders of the day and the news cycle hysteria.
And indemnification? No, that is picked by taxpayers. And, steam turbine maintenance? Doubting. I know that they are not paying into a disposal fund anymore, and are instead actually getting massive payouts, a product of a dodgy lawsuit.

(Court decided the feds had no actual plans for disposal, and therefore the money for that was collected fraudulently and had to be given back: NOT to ratepayers, of course, but to operators of still-running plants.)

You don't think that, perhaps, the working conditions were so good because of the strong culture of unionizing in Nordic countries?
Users sharing "a ridiculous amount of information" are definitely not the target group, but it sure as hell is easier when your target is in that group.

Nowadays you don't need to bug a Selectric, you just need to pay some ops person half a world away a few thousand to send you all the info you need.
32-bit float in audio has a dynamic range of 1528dB. The loudest possible physical dynamic range is around 210db. So that's quite a bit of headroom. Real hardware audio converters max out around 22 bits of resolution, so for sampling the maximum dynamic range is 110dB to 120dB on super-spec top grade hardware.

Of course for synthesis you can use the entire dynamic range. But you can't listen to it, because the hardware to play the full resolution doesn't exist. (For 32-bit float it's physically unbuildable.)

64-bit floats are still useful in DSP because there a few situations where errors recirculate and accumulate and 32-bit float is significantly worse for that than 64-bits. It doesn't take all that many round trips for the effects to become audible. Worst case is some DSP code can become unstable and blow up just from the numeric errors.

You could go up to 128-bit floats, but the benefits are basically zero.
Generally yes and that's the reason I've been reluctant to switch jobs for small gains. I stayed with my previous employer for 6 years (plus 2 calendar months because here you have to file in a letter of resignation 2 months in advance, that's by the law).

But software development can be stressful on its own: you have endless pointless meetings which serve no purpose but you have to attend them, you have mandatory corporate team-building shite which you must attend or you lose the "software engineer SENIOR" job title and you have to show leadership skills to HR people and your managers during pointless "funny" "games" during the team-buildings, you can't be involved in illegal activities (e.g. rage-type murder of your manager is a major no-no which can ruin your career for good). You also have to learn new things constantly in your free time because your employer is reluctant to pay for courses. The list goes on. My previous job was applied research and especially the university professors who did the actual research treated us like a piece of shite. I can't even count the number of times I heard something like "you can't understand anything because you have only Master's".

The stress-level of switching to a new job is generally comparable to normal activities. You need to grow some thick skin.
Well, in order to do her hair for the role. She obviously could style her hair for events in her private life, right? A wedding or whatever?

It seems a stretch to say the union interfered with her 'mobility', any more than you can't do plumbing on a public building without having a license etc.
I wonder whether there has ever been an attempt to calculate the loss-in-value caused by acquisition-as-shutdown-mechanism.

They probably frequently lead to competitive benefits (and increased market share / revenue) for the acquirer, but the discontinuation of products presumably leads to lost time, effort, and potentially money as the former customers of the product look for alternatives (in a diminished market).

I'll beat my usual drum and mention that free and open source software can mitigate some of the risks (but not, for example, support availability) for a software-based product, similar to having an agreed source-code escrow provision with a vendor.

I would never marry a woman that can’t provide for herself, and I think it would be amazing if she earns more than me.

However, I don’t think it’s completely wrong, men do want to feel needed somehow.

You seems so perfect and the only thing missing in your life it’s a child. That’s not a good advertisement.

Let men feel needed and tell them that, ask for their help and their opinion. If a guy is real computer nerd, let him help with your IT related issues, and sure, you could probably pay someone to do it better, but the point is to let people/men feel as part of your life.

What is missing in your life beside a child?

Are you too serious? Look for a funny guy that can make you laugh.

I wanted to jokingly quote this and say something silly like “My sincerest condolences” - but I realised I haven’t paid attention to the English leagues in a while. Just checked now and it looks like Coventry have sort of recovered and are back on track! After some pretty woeful times that’s very good to see, I have a soft spot for them as I had a friend at uni who was a supporter :-)
Draw parallels to other domains where those axioms come into conflict, to try and get some references on how to weigh them. Eventually you just live with the fact that some people have different moral axioms and weightings. It’s a big part of what it means to know someone well, and does not at all preclude having a strong relationship with someone.
The impact of a higher precision in pi depends on the rest of the calculations or simulations; factors like the (roundoff) errors caused by the size of your floats and your other constants, the precision of your calculations (like your sine), or (roundoff) errors in your differential equations and timestep accumulations. And finally, you have uncertainties in the measurements of the world (starting conditions) you use for your simulations. I guess in NASA's case, a higher precision in pi doesn't add to the overall performance of their calculations, or at least not to a relevant one.
I believe the point GP was making is that policies driven by reductionist arguments aren't going to actually fix the problems they purport to.
Corollary: don't keep minority ownership. I know a company owner who sold to a PE firm but kept a minority stake and a board seat, so he actually got to watch them wreck "his" company.
You may pretend, of course. But any solar farm producing enough power to be a "problem" may simply be shut off.

> They could improve this, but that would cost money, which means rich people would make less profit or pay more taxes.

Not sure how the English handle this kind of taxation but in the US most municipalities would spread the cost of a project like this over all users or add as some assessment to property taxes.

In other words, not just “rich people” would pay for it.

There are still quite a few otherwise modern cities in the US that also have this legacy problem (shared sewer + storm drain). My guess is that the cost is considered to be far too high to rip up and rebuild these systems.

That is astonishingly informative. That Italy still functions at a middle-ages level socially, explains so very, very much.
The point is that they don’t actually care because they’re not offering true privacy. Real privacy means my data is mine, and I decide individually which people or groups get access, including Apple.

Apples’ “privacy” is that they retain monopoly control over my data. Basically they stiff arm the competition (Facebook, Google, Amazon, etc) and get to profit exclusively by spying on me.

Would the stability and general level of working conditions have anything to do with the fact that most are unionized, and have been over a long time so they can do their job responsibly, perchance?

2 suggestions.

1- Have kids on your own via a sperm donor. Lori Gottlieb details her journey doing just so in the excellent book, “¿Maybe you should talk to someone?”

2- Just have fun. With kids off the table, you can find someone you can talk to—a lot lower stakes. Someone you like depending on.

Good luck!!
Holeproof Explorer socks (wool inner, nylon outer) seem to last forever.

I have a few pairs that predate having kids (so 20+ years) and they are still wearable.
Even if this were true (see, Newton's laws, Lagrangians and on and on), it's an odd claim that memorizing "quark" is any easier than remembering what a Hamiltonian is. Not to mention that memorizing jargon is a triviality barely worthy of footnote compared to actually learning the field.
I think you've missed gp's point of comparison, as well as misunderstood the logical notions of necessity and sufficiency. If the murder rate in place X is lower than in places Y and Z, both of which have (a) disarmed their people and (b) have whatever undefined things "going badly," then it is logical to assume that neither (a) nor (b) is logically necessary or sufficient for a lower murder rate. The comparison suggests that disarmament and having things "go badly," whatever that means, are not causally related to a lower murder rate.
It's not a simple case of reading data from the raw though. Out of those you listed, yes, white balance can be trivially read from the metadata and applied to the processing automatically, and in fact DT does do exactly that.

"Color space", by which I assume you mean input color profile aka the color matrix of the camera's sensor, has to be calibrated or reverse engineered by shooting standardized color targets under standard illuminants. DT does have this data and applies it automatically, but the calibration is provided by users and might not be ideal. You would probably get better results by doing your own calibration, but that is somewhat involved.

Picture control things like saturation etc that you select in camera are post processing steps that the camera applies to the raw in order to get a "developed" jpeg. They are proprietary to the camera maker and not published. Even if you can read settings like "saturation" and "portrait mode" from the metadata, you don't know which algorithm exactly that implies. Lightroom and other commercial software works with camera makers under NDA in order to reproduce the camera's processing. Could it be reverse engineered by open source software? Maybe, but the DT devs decided that they prefer to go in another direction.
...and who was it that failed at the outset to factor out that dependency into a clean,well-defined interface ?

That would have allowed modules/components to operate independently ,reved on different schedules, and more, but evidently too much thought at the outset ,so they just didn't even bring it up ,or passed on the opportunity if it was brought up.

They think they can't spend the resources to get it right, but they'll magically have more resources to fix the problems.

Now everyone pays.

as employees. If you work as a freelancer programmer (i.e. you have your own trade license) you can easily earn twice as much but if you count-in all the employee benefits granted by the Work law it's usually not worth it if you already have a family (which I have, therefore I switched from freelancing to being an employee).

And of course, Ryanair/EasyJet pilots are not counted in the statistics. The same goes to students - programmers which kludge together a Wordpress site and "sell" it.
By "correct," I mean the chain used by the community I'm interested in. To know that, I have to ask a member of that community for the correct software.

About banning... thinking out loud...

I wonder if a public ban log would reduce food fights. Nothing too fancy. Maybe just date, account name, cite terms violated, optionally cite evidence, admin actions taken. No need for comments, discussion, whatever.

We observe causality in our universe and day-to-day lives. If FTL movement is possible, you might expect at least some particles to be doing it, and that there'd be closed timelike curves or causality breaking happening already in nature, and we don't.

It's not clear what 'breaking causality' would look like. It's like saying what if you made 0 equal 1?

A few years ago lots of companies would have assumed that someone doing too much "job hopping" was unloyal and probably not competent enough to stay for more than a year or so.

Today it's so incredibly common (and hiring processes are extremely strict compared to before), that most companies see having started multiple jobs as "validation" from other companies.
I love the fact that some random dude on HN is telling NASA that their calculations regarding space calculations are not very convincing. Internet can be a beautiful place.
If you look at NEC v Intel we get an affirmation that verbatim similarity is often a sign that it was the only way to implement a given function.

And in Sony v Connectix we get a ruling that even non-clean room implementations are not in violation if there is no way to reverse engineer otherwise.
This story is cool but it’s premise always bugged me. “meat” as a concept emerges from our own experience. From an alien point of view, “meat” would appear first as some kind of programmable nanotechnology matter, which is far from the trivialness we express when we talk about “meat”
Looking how things have shaped through the years with WinRT, UWP, WinUI and related projects, at least WinDev seems to still be living in the past culture while trying to pretend to actually have changed.

The rate PMs change, how they lack understanding that we are fed up with rewrites, how they seem to believe we would still care and hope that in a couple of years WinUI 3.0 will actually be usable, how bugs in public repos accumulate,....
I was prescribed it recently after surgery. Took it for around 5 days and then stopped with no ill effect (and several left). I don’t think your statement holds in the short term (and certainly not “immediate”), though over a longer period it seems to.
This happens for integer arithmetic as well, as soon as you step off the happy path of trivial computations and onto the things we use floating-point for. You cannot exactly solve most differential equations, even if your underlying arithmetic is exact. These errors (“local truncation error”) then carry through subsequent steps of the solution, and may be magnified by the stability characteristics of the problem.
