I would really like to see the model of the problem for this kind of sensor placing. I am sure there are complex problems but my model would basically be two crates of beer between each sensor.
I did my entire IT degree on an Eee PC and I won't hear a bad thing said about it. It was the only working laptop I could afford and with Debian on it it was an IRC/shell/light browsing beast.
Interesting but - as usual - benchmarks are a bit twisted: Manticore knows how to optimize its products, and compare to "out of box" ElasticSeach. However, ES is a really complex stack that REQUIRES a lot of tuning to get decent performances... So I guess that a "real life" benchmark, with every product tuned by experts, would be more significant

Manticore is full C++ so it surely is better than a full stack java ES for memory (and maybe performance) on single server... but ES has a proven history of horizontal scaling (throw more servers to scale). And I didn't see any architectured benchmark. Real ES use case are often based on multiple servers, specialized nodes...

So, all in all... I would be interested in more "real life" use cases before making my mine
Where did you get the idea that douyin pushes math and engineering? It would never gain popularity in that way. In fact, the Chinese haters say the exact same thing as you do, that douyin is full of dancing and movie cuts, is a poison of mind and only for the stupid people.
That's really interesting to read about (and the comment above); I hope that the people running these things know this is a thing too.

It adds up too. Companies like Apple have long advertised with a diverse range of colors for their devices, but I think most people settle on black / white in the end because it's more neutral / doesn't stand out.

At some point people had trouble distinguishing their grey macbook pro from the hundred other macbook pros. First that was resolved with full size sticker and covers (which were cute in that they used the illuminated apple logo on the back as a feature), then with... a very wild and colorful range of stickers they save up from conferences and the like.

It was an interesting thing to witness, having big groups of people with bland, uniform, sleek and neutral, to a very nerdy form of self-expression and standing out from the crowd.
Why would you not firewall those off? You could use different subnets for internal traffic and exposed deployments just like you can on IPv4. It's all just a naming scheme more than anything, though it's one which you can make work across firewalls if you disable enough firewall rules on both sides.

Functionally, there's little difference between a private /8 or a DHCPv6 /64 except that you can serve even more hosts.
There are a few to more nude public nude beaches in the US...

- Gunninson Beach in Sandy Hook, NJ

- Haulover Beach in Northern Miami

I'm sure there are more! America isnt totally prudish!
Both of these tags are actually just the <div> tag. There’s no reason to use them as <div> already works well.
Jeremy Howard is definitely a visionary, his approach to ML, development and the learning process in general is revolutionary. It's people like him that can imbue passion to a young generation of Data practitioners.
I suppose more people would read ">10 years" as "more than 10 years"?

You can both be right. It doesn’t take much for TikTok to show 20% learning content to Chinese people and only 5% to westerners. And no one would know.

But I think it’s much worse. TikTok is clearly the goto place now for divisive content on LGBT issues, it’s provoking massive political arguments. And I’m sure this is just scratching the surface. I have no doubt it’s a global sentiment manipulation tool for the CCP. Why wouldn’t they do it is the question that should be answered.
That generally works fine, especially for the same Android version. However, as Android evolves, so do the driver requirements. Yesterday’s driver may simply not work with today’s Android. Only the driver supplier (typically the likes of Qualcomm) could realistically create an updated driver. Otherwise, extensive reverse engineering would be required.

The physical form factor is still around today, if you want a notebook PC that's smaller than an ultrabook.

Current flag carrier is probably the GPD P2 Max from Sheznhen's Gamepro Devices, a firm who started out making linux-based handheld game consoles around 2013 then branched out into netbooks. The first GPD Pocket stuck a maxed-out version of the Intel netbook spec sheet in a machined aluminum body with a 7" screen (underpowered processor and all) but newer models include less underpowered devices. In particular the P2 Max has the same footprint as the Eee 701/901 models but is thinner and lighter -- at 650 grams and 1.4cm thick it's comparable to an iPad mini with a keyboard -- thanks to the metal unibody construction.

https://gpd.hk

There are also competitors from elsewhere, notably One Netbook's One Netbook A1, which can be ordered with either an RS-232 port or gigabit ethernet if you work in a data center and want a portable terminal:

https://1netbook.com

Both companies also do tiny gaming portables with Windows 10/11 and the ability to drive an external GPU.

So basically the netbook sector is alive and well, if yuo want something significantly smaller than an ultrabook.

Finally, if these models strike you as too pricey -- they're not aiming at the same price point as the Eee -- there are less powerful variants on the theme from Chuwi and various nameless Chinese vendors. Just poke around on AliExpress for a bit and you can find a 440 gram micro-laptop for a reasonable price (if you don't mind waiting a lot).

Most measures we typically see are economic measures. They are indeed going up: fewer people life in poverty, and all dependent variables like lifespan and education improve too.

However, economic growth is currently tied to exploiting finite resources with ever increasing speed. Consequently, all measures that look at natural resources give rise to increasing existential angst: The oceans are empty, biodiversity is crashing; the climate is messed up, likely beyond the point where we can prevent catastrophic warming; topsoil is eroding at an amazing rate, aquifers are depleting; plastics, and other "forever chemicals" keep accumulating with as of yet mostly unknown effects.

So while the economy keeps growing, it looks like we're just increasing the speed at which we'll hit the wall.
Kind of weird that the article considers that places closer to the west are more open to nudism. The west is prude?
As the author points out: there isn’t any one Kalman filter. The Kalman filter is really a recipe for constructing optimal linear predictive filters, but the actual characteristics of the resulting filter will depend on the dynamics, state variables, and sensors that you’ve tuned it for, and that dependence gets reflected numerically in the various matrices that your specific Kalman filter is built from.

If you ever find yourself genuinely unable to understand the views of large groups of people, that's usually a good sign to take a step back and try to approach the subject more dispassionately. People are usually pretty rational on close inspection. They just operate under different premises and experiences.

This article is pretty typical of the genre "unhappy leftists ask why people inexplicably reject their utopia". As per usual no real political analysis is provided, just the cleverly worded implication that people who disagree with the preferred direction don't really have political views, just atavistic destructive tendencies. That they want to "watch it all burn". It's flattering to the ego to believe that other people are just vastly intellectually inferior, of course, but not very intellectually interesting for observers.

To wit, the core of the author's thesis is that with the threat of nuclear war receding, "Capitalism and liberal democracy had won, and nothing would ever really challenge this staus quo again. That thesis has now unraveled so obviously that nobody claims we are at the “end of history” anymore, and this book is remarkable only for the hubris it embodied. Brexit, Trump, and the social and economic decline, perceived or real, that led to them are the most obvious events that signaled our latest attempts to kick apart Eden."

This sounds clever but is devoid of any meaning or detail. It's a New York Times cliché, not actual analysis of the world you could learn anything from. And because it's so thin we can easily spin it around.

Consider Trump. "A Canticle for Leibowitz" is about a world post-nuclear apocalypse. Trump is cast as somehow equivalent or similar to this. But let us recall the alternative voters were given! I remember the original presidential debates, and it was Trump's opponent who wanted to create a no-fly zone over Syria i.e. start a hot war with the nuclear armed Russians! And it was Trump who stood against that and said no way, we're not doing that, we're not starting a hot war with Russia over Syria. So you could argue that the voters stood up for Eden in that moment by saying: no, getting the first woman president is not enough to offset the risk of nuclear war. A serious analysis that linked A Canticle with modern political events should really consider that sort of thing, but this article isn't such an analysis. It's instead the usual cry of pain of those committed to unaccountable managerial technocratism, wondering why the savages inexplicably reject their benevolent rule.
I'm curious about the opposite direction. Is there C compiler or transpiler targeting either the Python VM or native Python code?

I know there is a rich history of projects targeting the JVM, but I could not find anything regarding Python.

Doesn't matter if it is heavily restricted, incomplete, just supports a subset of C or if it is just a research project. All projects targeting the JVM I encountered are like this.

For me it is not so much about a solution but more about the question why apparently everyone is interested in the JVM and no one tackled Python.

> If it isn't buggy

That's not how software works. Software is always buggy. Question is only how severely functionality is impacted and when those bugs will be found. Most bugs are never noticed since they only concern corner cases that you normally won't hit in the field or would even have a hard time driving the system into even if you tried on purpose.

The main issue is with security-related bugs. Especially with mobile phone software, which has an enormous attack surface and has really wide distribution, this is a constant issue. No mobile phone OS ever will be bug free and will always contain security flaws. Over time, more and more of them are discovered, and it's a race between the vendor fixing them and malicious actors exploiting them. That's why the OS (and all the apps) need to be constantly updated. The longer you skip updates, the more you fall behind and the more doors are open that better be closed once they are known.

> needs to be paired with an argument that they ship buggy or incomplete software.

That argument is an easy one to make and everybody familiar with software engineering should be intimately familiar with it. This is not about some button not working, it's about somebody pwning your phone.
It definitely felt pretty cheap - but that was part of the appeal, it was a sort of fisher-price laptop, chunky plastic and big hinges. Definitely a chuckable device :)

Well, "just hierarchies" in anarchist thought are extremely limited.

For example, a just hierarchy is that between (non-abusive) parents and their small children. When a parent forbids their small child from eating another piece of candy, they are not an oppressive hierarchy imposing its will on the weak, even though to the child it may seem that way at the time, they are actually using the authority of their fully understanding of the world to help the child.

Another example may be between teachers and pupils. When the teacher is speaking to the class, they have certain powers over the class (for example, to forbid them from speaking among themselves) that are just, as they come from the needs of the position, not from rigid power tripping.

The point of anarchy is to look at all hierarchies through this lens, and renounce those that can't justify themselves in similar ways. It turns out, most hierarchies fall in the latter category - the world would be better without them - at least in anarchist thought. But some few do remain useful, and those are the ones that anarchists would keep.

Note: I'm using "anarchist" in the philosophical and political sense, not in the more day to day sense that it has usually gotten. In fact, many "anarchists" in the common-sense terms are quite rigidly totalitarian in practice.
Helmuth van Moltke (1880): "No plan of operations reaches with any certainty beyond the first encounter with the enemy's main force." It applies to software projects too, especially large ones. The enemy is the real world (or our lack of understanding of the real world.)

If we look at the original requirements every single project is a failure. If we look at the strategic goals and keep track of all trade offs maybe 30% is a fair guesstimate.
My bet is always to see which phone is supported by LineageOS, or other alternatives.

Typing this on a Moto G6 (2018). I also have a fully patched Nexus 7 tablet (2013).

Technically, there's nothing wrong with them. It's just that the vendors can't bring themselves to do the work.

Hopefully some legislation will come into place at some point to enforce this.

Initial comments:

- On a question that was supposed to load gifs as the answers, only one gif loaded. And it wasn't the correct one, so I had to pick blind.

- You should try some localisation, e.g. 'grilling' is 'barbecuing' in the UK. What you'd call a broiler, we'd call a grill. Could cause some confusion. There's a lot of localisation issues from what I've seen, it's very USA-centric.

- I answered a question about cheese storage, it told me I got it wrong and that modern refrigerators were the way to go. So I clicked the only answer that mentioned a fridge, and I got told it was wrong again.

- I don't understand how I'm supposed to be learning anything? It just feels like I'm doing a Buzzfeed quiz

- 'Burger sauce' is just ketchup and mayo, with any other mix-ins you want. There's a lot of variety in burger sauces. The app describes it as "creamy, tangy, onion-y and with little chunks of pickle". The next question says that the 'five main components of burger suace' are mustard, ketchup, pickle relish, onion powder, mayo. Only 2/5 are essential. You can argue for mustard.

- Q: 'Why make burger sauce' - A: 'It's convenient' - what? You're making a new sauce because you want the taste of all the sauces combined, you presumably wouldn't just be putting all of the ingredients on your burger individually as an alternative?

I think it'd be worth looking at actual culinary school curricula rather than making a short buzzfeed-style quiz for each individual ingredient in a dish, there's potential here but I don't think it's going to be a great learning tool in its current form

There are reasons it's #2 on that list, because there's a lot of shit python code out there. Not all of it is Instagram (Django).

Probably the most atrocious code I've ever seen has been PHP followed by Python.

I use Python personally, I just don't think it's a good choice if you really want a statically typed language...because it's not statically typed.
Interesting, I just happened to come across IPv6 only "dev" servers this week (https://www.transip.nl/bestel-vps/sandbox-pakket-kiezen/) and now om seeing IPv6-only stuff everywhere. Must be the Baader-Meinhof effect.

It's sad that we still need NAT64 at this point, especially for a server that's only serving IPv6 requests anyway. At least it brags a complex DS-lite setup at the cloud provider, I suppose.
Want to ask the same question but opposite: Why are deliveries so cheap in China? Sometimes it's even cheaper than in the stores. Sometimes when I walk past a store I would go home and order that delivered to get it cheaper. Not at China rn so can't really order one and check the receipt.
Android system updates are so bad by all OEMs that I will literally pay to get updates
This is precisely the reason I have an iPhone 12 mini. Form factor is just good to drive with one hand. I like the cornered edges more as it slides less easily from my hand. Price is just right. Build quality is better than the SE. All in all, really happy. I’ve jumped from iPhone 6 to the 12 mini. That’s how long I can handle a phone. When I did the iPhone 6 battery replacement deal for €35 (?) my gps was broken afterwards so I got a replacement refurbished phone. So you could say I used two iPhone 6’s, but still…

In someways China is ultra-capitalistic. They will sell what people want. And it seems that many people want to see dancing teenagers.

Maybe China isn't doing anything. They just allow a company to deliver exactly what people want and people eagerly lap it all up.
My hands use the screen, and they're of a certain size. If the screen is too big, I can't use it with one hand. The iPhone SE (the original one) can be used with one hand; if they would convert the bezels to screen I wouldn't be able to. I can't use the new iPhone SE with one hand.

In short, I think it's a good metric.
With the announcement of RStudio (the company) changing name I learned about the existence of qmd, which is sort of the next generation rmd.

It’s language agnostic (both in name but also cell meta data is yaml instead of r code) and the ecosystem around it already supports a lot of editors.

In defense of ipynb, I really do enjoy that code and output are together. The only place it isn’t nice is in git.
I bought one in 2008, installed Debian. It's very slow but still works perfectly. Very light use, for the past 10 years.
3 years of Android version updates and at least 5 years of security updates.

But I have to say, Apple's OS version updates are not always quite what they seem. My 2 year old iPad gets OS updates in name only. None of the major new iPad OS features are supported.

That's fine if the hardware just isn't capable of supporting those features. But it sort of muddies the water compared to an Android device that doesn't get a nominal OS bump but still gets security updates and all the new features distributed through Google's Play services.
We've gotten to the point of peak absurdity where 5.9" is considered "ultra-compact".

I'm in the market for a new phone right now, and it's baffling how ridiculously big most phones are right now. I only use mine for instant messaging and browsing Hacker News. 5" is more than enough for that.
> Manticore knows how to optimize its products ... compare to "out of box" ElasticSearch

I don't like those kind of benchmarks too: you tune your product to maximum and don't touch your competitor at all.

That's why the mentioned benchmarks imply NO TUNING or very light one like enabling mlock in Elasicsearch / enabling secondary indexes in Manticore. Otherwise it works as it's shipped. If you read the articles here https://db-benchmarks.com/posts/ you'll understand that the authors really wanted to do fair benchmarks and to use as little tuning as possible.

> ES has a proven history of horizontal scaling (throw more servers to scale). And I didn't see any architectured benchmark.

This is true. ES is better in terms of this. Manticore has replication and distribute indexes, but doesn't have automatic sharding and shards orchestration. This is a work in progress.
wow. So many memories. I had one that I used as spare laptop, and compared to laptops at that time, the battery life was amazing. The weight made it very discreet (important for me living in a crap place in which somebody could kill you to take your laptop) and portable.

Used to run Ubuntu on it - a little struggle to get wifi working, but apart from that it was great.
“Misspelt” is the usual UK/Commonwealth spelling, if that’s the spelling you’re referring to. “Misspelled” is the usual North American variant. Both are correct!
Only support full-word hits, no partial and certainly no NLP engine.
My experience is completely different. The weekly dynamic playlists are very poor (either completely the wrong genre or songs I regularly listen to in the case of the monday playlist). The daily playlists regularly play the same songs by an artist. It seems to me that spotify only uses the top 2 or 3 songs and nothing else. I'd say that of a specific genre it will play 40 to 50 songs and then repeat them.
I'm not sure about that second part.

If a service operator decides they don't want you using their service, they don't have to let you use it. That only gets murky around protected characteristics (race, sex, gender, orientation, etc) which "privacy" is not.

They could make access contingent on being allowed to process your data.
>Edit: "what sort of pan should you cook eggs in"... "no not a wok, people don't have those at home". Ouch. At best that's incredibly sheltered for a food writer, and at worst it's practically racist.

I didn't do the eggs one, but that's hilarious. Also from the UK, also own a wok, and also agree that scrambled eggs are best in a wok.
Kind of sad because a Blender render is exactly the right usecase as it doesn’t really matter that much if it takes a little bit longer.

Animated smileys comes to mind, I don't think video can compete with those.

Another one is that gifs are much easier to share, save, and reuse; with gifs, it's right-click and save, with videos... I don't even know where to begin.
Google keeps its phones up-to-date? I was under the impression that 3 years was the max with 2 being more likely.
