Considering that the EU is the second largest consumer market in the world (at least according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_consumer_marke...), it seems like that point is kind of far away.
I recommend "Blind Chance". It follows three storylines about a man trying to catch a train where different events cause his life to unfold differently. It really makes you think about all the small events that have occurred in your life that snowball to make you who you are.
Yea what an idiot to not make this free proof of concept of a browser daw targeted at 20+ years power users
Note that the on-call bonus is not entirely known. I had managers try to put my team "on-call" for a product and after I explained to them how Google actually did it, they suddenly said "oh, it's not really on-call. You just have to be ready to answer the pager at any time and respond".

I was also on what was one of the most dysfunctional on-calls at the company- keeping several distributed clusters of unique business-critical mysql instances that failed frequently with an unreliable failover method. For some reason it was a joint on-call with a neighboring team so I was responsible for systems I didn't know about or understand but were busisness critical. At times it was fun, at times it was educational, but at times, it was the worst thing in the world for me.
DNA is spaghetti code exemplified. We are carried around tons of dead viral DNA for example - what amounts to shipping code with older code commented out.
>It matches all the evidence because we looked at the available evidence and highly tweaked the model until it matched.

This is just wrong. This is not question of parameter tuning.

There is class of theories that include weakly interacting particles, you may tune or select model among these. But the most evidence (even newly discovered) points toward dark matter being particles because they behave like particles.
If you enable auto login on Windows as well as tell Steam to open on login, it should cut out those steps from your workflow.

Edit: here's a link that tells you how to do that. It's a bit involved since you have to mess with Registry keys, but it should be possible https://www.alphr.com/how-to-enable-auto-login-in-windows-10...
Yes. All the software / DSP processing can't help if the physics is against you.

By placing the microphone close to the mouth noises you make, you are increasing, by many orders of magnitude, the signal-to-noise ratio.

Cars and other large BT devices (like an Amazon Echo) can use multiple microphones and some fancy processing to really isolate the voice signal coming from a specific direction (relative to the device) and also cancel out surrounding noise sources.

With ear-bud systems, you can't fit in many microphones, nor can you spatially separate them enough for the software to do the job.

Ya good point — our approach is always spend-based, so the way we'd calculate cloud spend is your AWS / GCP bill * the AWS / Google carbon intensity (what we call a 'factor'). It is true that some data center regions use cleaner energy vs. others. We consider the spend-based approach, at a minimum, a good first pass. The greener the cloud you use, the lower the emissions. And then you can further optimize within your cloud provider.

Another note — most cloud emissions only factor in the energy footprint ('scope 2' in technical greenhouse gas inventory terms). We believe this significantly undercounts emissions, because it ignores the capital expenditure of building the facility, buying all the machines, etc. The great thing about the spend-based approach is all this overhead is factored in. (BTW, Google Cloud Platform just started to layer in some of this 'scope 3' operational overhead data, but I believe AWS still ignores it, significantly undercounting emissions).
Rapidly create effective learning pathways and use modern learning science to learn more effectively. The Beta version of the platform is now live, and is available on Web and Mobile. I'd love to hear your thoughts and feedback!
Have you checked that the installer does not alter the file during installation?
Bitwig's pretty good as a cross-platform DAW, from what I hear.

There's entire ecosystems of plugins out there. Yes they can be reimplemented but if the authors use the same quick algorithms as everyone else it's going to sound plastic-y and dull. IMO plugin dev is one of those things where every hour spent makes a cumulative difference in output quality.

WASM may be great, but unless they can run as their own binary in their own windows you're going to have browser overhead for each window, nevermind those of us that spread our DAWs out across multiple screens.
Can you point out for me in this picture where these white circles are that you just posted as fact?

Yeah, I don't think they will cease. Frustrated managers that cannot fill a position will always produce these as they literally have nothing to do with the lack of workers. My university was filled with 'accelerator' companies because of this: It is very hard to find talent on the market and everyone is aware of the reason. It also doesn't matter that everyone commenting here knows the reason and are willing to spell it out every time one of these articles shows up.

There are thousand plus companies that are specialized on finding talent for other companies just because of how difficult it is. I wouldn't be surprised if there already exists companies that hire these talent-seeking companies for your company.
> There is no "road tax" in the UK, is it? It's a fee for polluting, not using the road.

It is not what you call it, but what you spend it on.
You skipped the best part of the story!

> We [Chinook and the lead programmer] played an exhibition match against Marion Tinsley in 1991. And the computer told me to make this one particular move. When I made it, Tinsley immediately said, "You're going to regret that."

> Not being a checkers player, I thought, "what does he know, my computer is looking 20 moves ahead." But a few moves later, the computer said that Tinsley had the advantage and a few moves after that I resigned.

More details on this epic match from Wikipedia:

> The lead programmer Jonathan Schaeffer looked back into the database and discovered that Tinsley picked the only strategy that could have defeated Chinook from that point and Tinsley was able to see the win 64 moves into the future.

And since you agree that it is useful to compare school shooting statistics between countries, then you should also agree that it would be more effective to spend more time and resources combating suicides than school shootings. The relative difference in mass shooting rates based on gun control strictness is much smaller than the relative rates between mass shooting deaths and suicides.

This is not an argument against gun control, but against spending so much time and effort fighting for that gun control at the cost of letting slip the lower hanging fruit that could prevent more deaths.
it says core messaging, maybe only unencrypted chats can be interoperable.

TBH , unlike GDPR, this seems a lot more pragmatic and feasible
Guacamole looks interesting because I could access my PC via HTTP, which would be handy. Just have to check if it works well with no-login autostarts.

MeshCentral looks promising, but RustDeck, which another comment recommended, seems to do the same thing in a more attractive way.

Thanks!
Worse or, and that would be the point of the change, entirely different. You would do some study of all possible opponents, but you obviously can no longer do so much focus on the single player. Which means, the better preparation would just to prepare your best chess against whomever you are going to play. Which could be much more fun and make the games more interesting, as there is much more space for tactical surprises.
> It certainly puts a huge incentive on Apple to figure out technical solutions to problems like "How do we get other browser engines on this thing without compromising a hundred OS assumptions, battery performance, or user security,"

Virtualization? Run a hypervisor on the phone that allows running multiple virtual smartphones. Apple can provide two virtual smartphone environments, one that works like the current native iOS, and one that provides a basic smartphone that is wide open and on which you can install anything you want (maybe based on Android?). Make this second one open source so it can be a basis third parties can use to develop more virtual smartphones for iPhone hardware.
Unless you're in a really dysfunctional startup, the employees who voluntarily jump in after-hours to fix OC issues are going to be very quickly compensated with raises and refresher option grants. Far better payout generally than a few bucks of overtime.

It becomes really obvious who is holding the company together and who is coasting, relying on the "senior" (ie, anyone who puts in the effort) engineers to keep the ship afloat, and in a highly competitive engineering market, that will definitely be reflected in equity comp.
I think you are completely mad if thy think that corporate financial influence is far less. Where do you think the EU staff come from?

What happens is you are promoted out of the corporate world and into EU council advisory positions (special advisors). So you end up a fill time EU advisory position with part time and contract work for your parent company. Or there's the full time corporate advisors (institutional special advisors)!

Some are academically sourced and the universities are usually bankrolled by corporations who are just buying advisory positions.
Why does the WC take so much more prep than other tournaments? Is it because of the format, or just the pressure to win?
Git supports history rewriting so 1 isn't true. Git uses hashes for "unique ids" hashes aren't unique just low probability of collision, so 3 is also not true.

Having run into issues that appear to be caused by 3 not being true, I don't see that as a theoretical issue.
I never believed this until I got older.
Taxation doesn't change the amount of spending. It only changes who is doing the spending.
Why doesn't it work? Those vehicles would either need to add more axles[1], or you'd spread the same shipment over more lighter vehicles.

Such a tax should be as close to an approximation of the actual cost of road maintenance, full stop. If it makes certain vehicles uneconomical that's the intended effect.

Of course you'd want to grandfather in such a drastic policy change, or phase it in at some % per year.

1. Taxing this based on axle weight is also stupid. In reality road wear is a function of tire width/shape/size etc., speed and numerous other factors.
But this isn't true. The selling point of a Commodore 64 for education, said empathically by Jim Butterfield, was that you didn't have to worry about breaking the machine. As soon as computers started coming with hard drives/without the OS burned into ROM, that was not true anymore. It was quite easy to soft-brick a DOS PC by messing with autoexec.bat, and there were legitimate reasons to mess with autoexec.bat!

Conversely, some of the environments kids learn programming in today are very hard to brick. The micro bit, for instance? I'm not sure it can be done, even though you can get very low-level access to it (even bypassing Arm's little RTOS is easy). And of course Java and JavaScript come with sandboxes. Using a computer is pretty damn unsafe, with all the scams and Trojans and pedophiles and whatnot, but playing around with it is back to being fairly safe.
I imagine that it is easier to keep a big plane in ground effect than a small one because the relative size of the boundary layer to the size of the airplane is a lot larger with increasing wing area. The Soviets had several working prototypes that managed just fine while carrying heavy loads, and there's plenty of videos of glider pilots effortlessly gliding along for hundreds of metres in ground effect over runways and the like.

Also no offense to rctestflight's impressive skills, but his aerotech skills seem to be mostly self-taught (he studied "applied film at business knowledge according to linkedin). There would be a huge different between what a talented amateur can achieve and what a team full of trained professionals could build. Staying in ground effect seems like an ideal job for a flight computer to manage btw, autopilots never tire and always stay focused.
Guacamole is a slightly different use case, it depends on a server in the middle. You connect to Guacamole, it RDPs/VNCs/etc to the target.
This should be the submitted link I think.
The format is not a problem per se. It's grueling, sure but that's what a word-championship match should be. Magnus Carlsen just feels there's not much to gain anymore for him, by defending his title. That's all there is to it I think.
Where’s this all coming from lately? Seems that walkable cities (code for making vehicle ownership so expensive and onerous that only the elite can drive) and the push for public transit is a top down affair that is being force fed to the public not just via the usual media outlets, but also legions of GPT based Internet shills.

It also seems very European. All the big cities already have buses and trains in the US. Outside these places it’s not only not practical, it’s totally infeasible. So who is making this push? WEF? Mayor Pete?
Not only that. Due to the extremely low bandwidth in these channels and being one way, sendimg documents would be extremely slow.
Likely on the order of hours or days for a text only word document.
You cannot do any re-transmissions for broken bits.

And the range is VERY low for normal PC's that have had to pass EMC tests. For an all glass gamer RGB PC the things will be different.
This is still true today (at AWS). If you write the software, you are ALSO responsible for owning the operations: this means on call.
After 15 years, I no longer judge past coding decisions, and I think you can save yourself a lot of grief by not waiting as long as I did to realize this.

You don’t know the constraints the previous person was under, so you can’t possibly know what you really would have done or what “should” have been done.

I mention this because there’s still a tone of, “there is approximately one right way to code” in this article, and I really doubt that.

Make good choices now, but don’t be harsh to the folks who came before you.
That’s expected, Cloud SQL is not multi region. Clouds define HA as being multizonal, which you were.

Try Spanner if one region is not enough.
Hopefully this goes better than GDPR. The only outcome I’ve seen is all my friends and family clicking “I accept” to explicitly allow tracking.

Remember how we were praising GDPR and the level of fines etc…
I've always been on the ops side so I view being on call as an intrinsic part of my job, regardless of where I work. My current company does it well I think: each team has its own on call rotation covering their own systems (with the ops team I'm on being a backstop) which means that you only get paged for your own bugs. In addition, whoever's on call that week is the designated "person to be disrupted" if someone needs something from your team. If someone needs ops help, they'll go to the ops on call guy first. If I need to ask a question about one of our backend processes, I'll ping the backend on call guy. We have dedicated on call channels where all the alerts and pages go and where people post for help. Most importantly, leadership is just as invested in the product and happy to jump on as we are. The only 4AM page I've had yet, my boss and his boss were on the call before I was. Overall I'm happy with it
It makes sense to go the emoji way. We already get emojis on our IDEs with lightbulbs, lightnings and the dreaded red x mark.
Um, you just create a cert in XCode, pair your device to it, load the certs onto the device and run the app on it.

You're not going to do it on a Linux box for sure as the tools aren't there but you certainly can run your own stuff on iOS. You don't have to sign up for anything either - just install XCode from the app store and build stuff.
considering the status of both companies as basically a duopoly, it will be hard for the US to object about unfair trade rules.
You can easily warn a user that messaging a user using a different protocol will not be encrypted.

On the iPhone, this is done visually with the blue/green bubbles. But other solutions can be implemented.
I thought android auto was going to be cool. I've gotten to use it with my flagship phones and several late model rentals. Every single time, it will disconnect upon occasion while driving (and using nav) forcing me to unplug replug. I haven't waited long enough to see if it could recover ina minute or so.

When I enable it by plugging my phone into the car, it tells me it is going to enable Bluetooth.

That is like getting high speed internet only to have the modem do dialup.

Does anyone know why a forced wired protocol requires substandard wireless connectivity?
By Chinook, actually. The computer science Jonathan Schaeffer became obsessed with solving checkers, because it was the only way to prove that Chinook could've beaten Tinsley in a fair game (as Tinsley passed away before Chinook could defeat him on the board).
I solve the TSP every time I run errands.
They even provide audio descriptions, unlike basically every other service over here.
You can’t even pronounce that word in most Asian languages.
My car does this too when I plug my phone into USB, it starts playing the first song alphabetically no matter what. I became so sick of this I just have a long empty track with tildes in the name in my library. I would assume bluetooth would do the same but my car's bluetooth has been off since it came out of the facotory and I will never turn it on.

Another obnoxious design is if i want to start a playlist I can't just start playing it - It gives me the playlist sorted alphatically. Once i start playing a track it then sorts them by playlist order. Literally the point of a playlist is the order which you choose your songs to be in. Same solution works, put a short empty file with a tilde, 0 or underscore. So when I pick a playlist I just have to press enter twice and not deal with the alphabetically sorted list.

This trick also works when i try to navigate with google maps and my phone is plugged into usb. I wont get the navigation voice if a music track is NOT playing - again I go to my silent track and play it in order to get the navigation voice when my phone plugged into USB
That used to be cool but now browsers support this check for an app natively. Does TeamViewer do it to support much older browsers?
Chrome Remote Desktop is honestly not a bad option for something like this. It has an unattended mode and you can set long passphrases in addition to 2FA/etc.
His memoirs are told by the man himself; i.e. projects the image of himself that he wants to believe he is and was edited to be read by a layperson audience, meaning that it picks out the most entertaining and relatable bits of his life rather than showcasing his towering prowess.

Read what other contemporary physicists thought of him instead. One doesn't get the Nobel Prize in Physics by accident.
I don't see the moral difference between taking a gun and shooting a kid and bullying and harassing a kid until they are driven to take a gun and shoot themselves.

Both are horrific, but the latter seems even more horrific because it includes not only death, but psychological torture before the death.
There are more states to calculate than atoms in the universe so it isn't possible to brute force the problem. Maybe it can be solved, but it will require math.
Nuclear is an even more awful fit for land based use cases. The one saving grace it has for transportation is the energy density, not that it matters when renewables to green hydrogen, ammonia or any other solution paying some efficiency cost is vastly superior.

On land energy density barely matters and the costs for nuclear energy is simply laughable.
> I hate that it's being used as an argument against cyclists: "get off the road, you don't pay road tax".

It's really more that many cyclists are in the way and aren't going the speed limit. You end up holding up a lot of traffic that is forced to go slower and that's annoying to everyone. to be frank, when you're driving a car a person on a bike taking up the entire road is annoying. This is why people really dislike bikes - they get in the way of people trying to get somewhere.
100% same feelings. But really it was never as much like this with K as it was much moreso with the shrooms.

I can totally see why K is an immediate relief for people who are immensely depressed. Within 1 hour it basically rips you away from your sense of self, that you were so unnecessarily attached to and that had all the depressive emotions with it.

Shrooms seem like they produce a guttal connective feeling to your surroundings and the natural world around you. Longer lasting imo.
I used to live in SE Portland and I distinctly remember an earnest topic of conversation at Roadside Attraction (among people who presumably had the money to pay for their drinks) being the necessity of working for a living.
This article touches on something I’ve always wondered: how do I determine whether to add a BOOLEAN column to a table or create a new table instead?

For all tables containing a BOOLEAN column it’s always possible to simply split this table into two separate tables with the same columns, where the name of the table signals whether the factored-out BOOLEAN column would be TRUE or FALSE.

My gut instinct says it’s cleaner to have two separate tables, but I’ve never found a definite answer.

^ is what I wrote, and you suggest "just install XCode from the app store"? Not sure how that's compatible.

Regardless, I hope we end with a phone that people can actually install their own software on, regardless of what laptops/desktop computer they own.
But you're starting with the wrong assumption: that people focus on having the best option in each situation. The people buying Airpods probably know they're not the best headphones or microphone. They are the best jack of all trades even if master of none. They are the best package. And you rarely choose what's best for others, others probably do the same.

So when you WhatsApp from your mobile someone else has to see you type slowly, full of autocorrect errors and typos. You don't switch to the web Whatsapp from a computer, or a model M attached to the phone despite knowing they are faster because you get their messages fast and correct so it's all great.
Counter take: these fleeting memories are not worth being saved.

A friend said it best: all your priceless mementos, souvenirs and photo albums will end up in a cardboard box taken to the trash. There're some examples right here about a grandmother carefully made potted/preserved food being put in the trash.

Why not skip the middleman and trash them yourselves? Odds are they are only worth it nostalgia value. Unless you want to optimize for pathological cases, like dementia in the article, I think it's better to optimize for making new experiences - and that requires freeing some "mental space".

Another example: music. Trash the collection of MP3s you listened to as a kid, and start anew! Buy (and therefore discover) new things instead of clinging to the old!
Honestly still trying to figure out what I'm even building, but I agree, the load time is pretty bad. Also I'm using the smallest instance of Postgress Google Cloud Run offers and I've never stress-tested it before :)
