Lucky you. That means you have a very focused work environment with very little distractions. Unfortunately the work I do pretty much forces me to have 10's, regularly 100's of documents open at the same time and to be able to memorize what bits that are relevant came from which document. This is getting harder with advancing age so I used a scrapbooking plug-in to keep track of the citations. Now it is just a file with a bunch of text snippets and hyperlinks.
Where Should Affluent People Live?
I wonder if anyone at Apple is working on this secretly.
I put together a landing page for this idea i've been thinking about:

https://MyApartmentFamily.com/

The idea is to make apartment living less lonely, and generally increase goodwill between apartment neighbors.

Non-apartment people are not being excluded, but I think apartment living has lots of unique issues that homeowners - even, say, townhome and condo owners - do not have. And, realistically, you have to start with a focus on something -- some one thing -- in our case, it's apartment-living.
High glycemic index foods, full of chemicals / salt / etc linked to cognitive decline and other health problems? Shocker.

> “pricing signals" skewing markets is what is supposed to happen

Only if the signals are accurate. Zillow calculates value based on comps in the same zip code since the range of properties in a zip code can vary tremendously. This is ridiculous in many zip codes. Ask any realtor what they think of “Zestimates”. You’ll get an earful.
There is also a whole-mouth U-shaped “autobrush” which seems to be doing a decent job.
> Seems more like narrative-supporting publicity than anything else.

Agreed. 2nm-scale manufacturing is contingent on the capabilities available from a complex, interdependent ecosystem of suppliers starting with ASML but continuing to dozens of upstream and downstream sources of essential enabling tech from optics to light sources to resists, etc. Trying to push this from a top-down, government-driven "coordinating" agency will likely fail to accomplish anything meaningful toward the stated goal.

The relevant ecosystem players are already closely collaborating, coordinating or competing. There's no obvious lack of motivation, common ground or communication. And this government effort doesn't have nearly enough money to entirely self-fund things that are both A) likely to make a meaningful difference, and B) aren't already being worked on . Thus, they'll have lots of meetings, then make some bets they can afford funding lower-odds things which aren't likely to pan out (or they'd be the higher-odds things already being bet on by the ecosystem).
as a fellow skeptic, this oversteps. your mistake is that smart = value. connections do have value, as does experience and other leadership qualities than domain expertise. your criticisms will be stronger if you recognize this.
I’m just past the year Mark in being a CTO after a career as an engineer / architect. I won’t claim to be an amazing exec, but I still don’t understand how anyone could succeed in this role without having significant engineering experience. I approach this as “my turn” at playing the executive role - because I finally said to myself that there has to be someone who can code in the exec team of my next job. I intend for this to be my one and only time in a role like this - to do it well just requires more time and energy to sustain it for decades.
Coming in as an Apple skeptic, I’m fairly impressed in the balance Apple has done between user security and device openness. This definitely sounds like a well designed architecture.
let's hope the data center hasn't been OVH'ed

I'm not sure where you're getting "vibes" from. Some things are pretty noticeable, like how often you come across blocked websites in different countries, what countries limit you from bringing in (such as bibles), mandated public national anthems, public political ideology, mandated social laws, structure of government, etc. If you're familiar with the region, you're going to come into contact with a lot of these, and Singapore isn't one of the more repressive states in the region from my experience.

You can even look at capital punishment, which the article headline highlights. Most countries in the region have it.
I have a massive tab problem, and had to build a personal SOP to manage it.
I have 400+ tabs open on Chrome right now, on my mobile.
Every now and then, I use chrome on my laptop to open all tabs from my mobile (tabs from other devices show in History), save them to one tab (browser extension), and save it as a HTML, and close all tabs on my mobile.
It doesn't take more than a week to build up to more than 100 again.

I believe my record has been 1100+ tabs on Chrome, and 5000+ tabs on Opera Mobile.

The desktop version of these apps can't handle these amounts nearly as well..
I’m moderately certain that the actual intent here.
Technically, we now have evidence for three. There is no evidence yet for people with a clean desk but messy tabs ;)

But I'm confident they exist, we should put a bounty on the location of a prime specimen and see what happens when we breed them with the third kind to establish if there is a genetic component to this.

Thanks heaps.

My understanding is that metasploit uses a lot of ruby.

I suppose if I was part of a team that did the pen testing, that would be cool. Even if I wasn't doing the pen testing myself.
hehe I like the name! :)
Why there is a search only per company?
I like the design too. Simple and easy to navigate.
Love it! Reminds me of Daystack (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4045527) in a very positive way.
I'm not really sure I'd call this fraud. In that Opendoor delivered the product the customer was promised and paid for. Lying about the quality of that product compared to the alternatives is dishonest for sure but I don't think anyone here was really cheated. It's understood that when companies tout their product compared to competitors it's not a fair comparison.
Does make me wonder what increase in the rate of debris falling into populated areas is. And who is liable for the outcomes. If this had happened before the recent wet, there’s a very real chance of a major bushfire.
Funny that I will hoard an entire window with dozens for weeks, accidentally lose it one day and be like meh.
I love your comparison with bad ML image inpainting. Not only does it kind of look like that, but it also feels like it. The picture looks fine until you focus on that one bit and it turns out there's no real information there. It's very hard to fully covey it to someone who hasn't experienced it, but this plus what happens when you look into a very bright light comes close.

It would be really interesting to look at different scenes and patterns to see how my brain reconstruct it, if it weren't for the crushing headache that I know will follow in 10-30 minutes from the first sign and wipe me out for at least the rest of the day.
No one said the computer running the simulation used digital logic. If we could encode system dynamics into "energy+matter", you could call it an analog computer without much dissent. People do this in miniature: in fact, the first computers were entirely mechanical!

If we accept this reasoning to imply that the universe is a giant computer, we only have the unknowable left: was it purposefully (intelligently) designed or did it spontaneously arise? As far as I can tell, the probability of either outcome is equal according to our limited experiences, and we will never have access to a definitive answer one way or the other.
Like, is there a science of 'camouflagology'? [oops, when inventing words, never mix latin and greek]

I don't know if there's a more specific term or not, but camouflage is studied (along with other things) under the general subject of "Crypsis".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crypsis

Note that this seems to be more particularly about natural forms of camouflage / etc., as opposed to military camouflage used by humans. But the two areas are clearly related.

Regardless of what you call it, it does appear that there is some science that goes into at least some aspects of this. See, for example:

https://phys.org/news/2021-01-camouflage-arbitrary-environme...
Maybe it's easier to implement the pattern generation algorithm for pixel output?
There's no colored squares in the lower right, so it can't be.
Same, I can't fathom having more than 20 tabs open, and only if I was tracking the hardest most complex bug ever and had 10 search tabs open.
Mobile Safari's limit is 500 tabs, including on the iPad. When you then try to open another tab, the options are:

* close tabs not opened in the past month

* close all tabs

* cancel

It's not a big dialog box. If you misclick "close all tabs," there's no "are you sure?" confirmation. You can recover 200 or so.

I've filed feedback / issue / bugs about this.
Ah, when you said "suppressor" I thought you meant "flash suppressor" but rereading I realize you meant "sound suppressor" like the GP.
>camo uniforms ... which, often as not, are the butts of jokes and not considered at all appealing

I think you'll find they're pretty appealing to a lot of the people who want to be in the military.

I think the follow-up needs some more elaborating.

"I won a lot of time back so that I can go back to writing 15 novels" is a little off putting for many.

Start simple with usage of your reclaimed time. Put your phone in another room and watch a 2 hour movie, uninterrupted. That's a thing a lot of people today can't even do, so already an accomplishment.

Even pure boredom, doing absolutely nothing, is healing. The point is that you have uninterrupted time, it doesn't matter if you spent it "productively".
Isn’t this what realtors do when they sell properties they don’t own?

Statistics have shown they sell for lower prices to increase throughput and sales compared to when they sell their own properties…
Authoritarianism led Japan into a war which utterly destroyed its economy. I'm not sure you can count that as a win for the jackboot.
On taxing empty houses - I once had an opportunity which required me to move across the country and my old house sat vacant for months despite pricing it pretty low (when you are 2k miles away it is hard to sell something), and a tax combined with the state laws preventing me from giving it to the bank would have been a perfect storm of misery despite my desire to let someone else live there.

Right...

Have you noticed that todo lists tend to progress a bit like ticket queues for long lived projects? The oldest open ticket is usually from the day the ticket system was founded and the last one from five minutes ago. And there is a monotonic increase in the number of open tickets across any span of time you care to zoom in on.
There's a free tier, not sure if the Unity/Unreal stuff is included in that: https://developers.arcgis.com/pricing/
As someone who lives in Vancouver, its quite a different story, and most of those I know, really don't understand where these stats come from. There is not a week that goes by I have someone knocking on the door of our family home asking to buy it. There are four owners left on our street that are the original owners, the rest are vacation homes for Chinese, and completely vacant. This is far from exaggerated.

Right. We are constantly sampling the environment in small amounts, but we perceive a much larger, more stable and detailed space than we can directly sense in recent moments because our consciousness is based on a simulation integrating a lot of information already gathered.

I've been using OneTab for more than five years now and never crashed.
I used to have a completely clean desk at an engineering company where everyone had piles and piles of spec sheets, documentation, and first articles strewn around. People thought I didn't work, so I piled up a few things here and there to gather dust and look "messy" and kept the working area of my desk clean :)
Honestly to me all these comments are wrong and focusing too much on the 2nm aspect and not the possible r&d outcomes. EUV come to fruition because of r&d research between the US and other countries/companies. TSMC might be the largest foundry but a majority if not all of their tooling is from the west and japan; from ASML, AMAT, Lam Research and others. Best believe some acquisitions will happen especially on from the US side and new tech will be coming out probably some sort of EUV replacement.

Does Apple have less reason to lock things down now? Being fully vertically integrated, with possibly the best mobile hardware in town, do they care that people will buy their hardware just to run Linux?

Help is good. But getting out of the way sounds like a good consolation prize.
What made you choose to build an iPhone app before an Android app? I'm curious where that debate stands in the last few years as I haven't seen the arguments for a long time.
Many corporations make it prohibitively difficult to get a phone or iPad on the VPN to access on prem services or federated authentication to external services.

So I only have to build for laptop sizes and up. For what I do, anyway.
Given that I know have to use clang-format, the 'intellectual enjoyment of well-formated code' is a thing of the past.

This isn't a criticism of clang-format, just that as it is now a tool which does the formatting, I focus on other things..
I sure hope not, as it would compromise all the legitimate reverse engineering being done on it.
> Singapore, Gibson details, is lacking any sense of creativity or authenticity, absent of any indication of its history or underground culture.

Gibson ascribes this to the fairly authoritarian nature of the Singapore government, but I think a much bigger contributor to this feeling is simply the age of everything there.

I think the "culprit" is the fact that they experienced a tremendous amount of growth and socio-economic upward momentum in an incredibly small amount of time. This means that in any given neighborhood, every structure you can see was likely built within a decade or two of any other visible structure. It's not like London or even New York City which grew organically and slowly over centuries.

You can wander around the endless seas of identical strip-malls and suburban neighborhoods that have exploded in places like Utah and Texas over the last 20-30 years for a similar feeling of emptiness and homogeneity.
I accidentally ended up at a similar solution once.

I has the same issue, and I fixed it by adding an associated 'count_table' row for each hit, and deleting the row once it had been added later on to the final count. Which actually fixed the issue. Then refactored it so each user or ip had it's own 'count_table' row. It meant the final total count lagged a bit, by 60 seconds or so once the count_table rows had been counted up and deleted, that was the downside but it was totally acceptable.

I wish I'd have thought of this, it's much better and simpler I think haha.
I interpreted it as "execs are investments. Tread accordingly."

Strikes me as something that could change quickly with a change of government though...either way, I don't think I could ever be OK with the idea that it's legal for a government to execute its own citizens.
It’s not as burdensome as piling up physical objects. In fact, I’m quite used to having them lie around in my browser since it doesn’t keep them loaded in memory any more (I’m using Chrome on OSX).

While I know nothing about collecting stamps, I believe there is some similarity: If any of them seem of some value, I will bother to bookmark them along with a brief description in Google Keep. After several years, this small “mind map” has proven to be quite valuable for me. Why Google Keep and not bookmarks? It seems to work better for me than any other bookmark system I tried and the 2-level nesting feels just right: I created about 30 labels and each of them have various archived notes that contain multiple links together with their descriptions. So far, I believe each of the notes I created have one label, but I might end up attaching multiple labels to some of them eventually.
I like the concept, but the lack of a great mobile interface (either responsive web or app) is a real deal breaker. Signed up for the trial but will cancel, would love to hear from you again once the mobile side is ready to go.
One measure of a high-quality C-level performer is the quality of their teams. The best C-level people can bring in very high-quality managers and individual contributors underneath them. Below average C-level people really struggle on this front.

Also, for some C-level roles there are good and objective ways to measure performance. For example, for a Chief Revenue Officer you have (obviously) revenue. There are a ton of confounding variables of course but in general CROs who consistently out-perform plan are better than those who consistently under-perform plan.
Looks great, an “email sign up for updates” would be valuable as I’d give this a go once you announce an iOS mobile app. As it stands I’ll have no way to know when that happens.
> Autodiff using the dual numbers has pulled off the seemingly impossible.
It's not seemingly impossible, if you understand that the chain rule for f' is just being executed at the same time as the calculation of f by having derivatives for basic operations already defined.

However, like I said, if you have a calcuation method that hides derivatives in terms that have been truncated, then this will not save you.

(-1)*i * x*(2*i + 1) / factorial(i) is not one of those methods -- and sin is rather regular in regard to its Taylor series. So of course it works out in this case, with a normal power series calculation method.

Try a different series or calculation method, and dual numbers will get you a wildly different result. Understand, dual numbers only work well, when you use a method of calculation that front-loads terms that have high bearing on the derivative. Otherwise the missing terms/truncation, causes severe inaccuracy.

However, stenciling might actually perform better in these scenarios.
Ah, does not releasing full documentation not count as Apple "trying to get in their way"? Not trying to be snarky, genuinely trying to figure out how folks draw the line, since in my head, keeping documentation private smells like obstructionism.
You can provision vclusters to give each dev (each or even) that gives the space to play with the env without it being a problem.

In this case, the tenant is alleged to have been able to afford a new collectible car and vacations while skimping out on rent, so this isn't that type of tenant.

Moreover, in cases of deliberate malfeasance such as these, judges can and sometimes do award legal fees. It doesn't happen frequently in landlord-tenant cases, but it does happen regularly in cases involving wealthy tenants.
Oh, interesting, that was reported in some news article that I read on the killing. Regardless, the weapon was not mass manufactured and whatever tools he used doesn't really matter, whether it was on a bunch of manual tooling or CNC gear the end result is the same: Abe is dead and making guns is unfortunately simple enough that a determined individual can do this without attracting attention.

Euclid is still excellent.

In general we're better off reading modern treatments because they have more context and more convenient notation.

That said, it's important to read the old texts precisely because they elucidate the state of the art as it was, and so help us understand not only how far we've come but how we got to where we are now.

One of my professors wrote the canonical biography of Boole. I read it, and learned as much about Boole as I did about Des MacHale.

Ive always wondered why executives get such generous compensation packages. Are most people unwilling to take these roles at "pretty damn good" incentives packages, so companies are forced to give "crazy lucrative" incentive packages? Are there really VPs that would pass up a CEO position if it didn't come with a 25 million golden parachute clause? If it was only 5 million, they walk?
