I can have a giant monitor in any room of the house when I'm working from home

I can get a stealth giant monitor at the coffee shop without looking like a freak (by using laptop mode but placing keyboard in front of lower screen)

And I can have a single PC I use for everything, no juggling files, no messing with docks, no messing with USB monitors (that require random reboots because of connection issues, or cause Windows to randomly reposition my apps all the time)
If someone can access it, my university notes where I looked into LCGs such as this discusses that in Numerical Recipes, 1992 C Edition, a clever LCG can be used to generates random numbers between 0 and 1. Using a 32 bit int generated by a fast LCG modulo 2^32. The cleverness is that you treat this value as a float. It uses a bit mask to mask only the mantissa of a float-32, and then is OR'd with a value to set the exponent to 127. Subtracting 1 from this results in a random value between 0 and 1, using only simple or bitwise operations!
No, you misread the article.

Open a Ruby interpreter (`irb`). Type `i=0; loop { i += 1 }`. Press Ctrl+C.

* Irb is still running.

* Your infinite loop has been stopped.

Type `i`:

* The REPL state preserved as much progress as it could when you aborted the run.

Now do the same thing in `sh`. Now `python`. Now `psql`. All handle Ctrl+C in the way the article mentioned!
I'm all for piggybacking off of Fielding's work, but HATEOS isn't practical and the industry reflects this.

It's interesting that the author writes this whole rant about the stupidity of describing cookies as "small text files" and how that's a ridiculous and incorrect abstraction, without realizing that cookies used to be exactly that, for a very long time, and putting them in a sqlite database is a relatively recent idea, especially at the time that this was written.

I can imagine their rant upon finding a text that describes a telephone as a desktop device connected to the telephone network with a wire. "What kind of fool would describe a cellular data connection as a wire?"

Those that fail to learn from history are doomed to look really silly.
Thank you for the app! I use it every single night to drown out the POS bird that screams outside of my window as I’m trying to sleep.
I sure hope you’re right, but the point is that we just don’t know. Reviews of that evidence have determined it to be low quality:

Especially when “losing” that bomb (or in the case we’re discussing, 2 nuclear cores) also entails “losing” yourself and the entire crew of your B-47.
You are right, but at the same time when I say no with a reason, people think that they can debate. No just means no.

You owe people politeness, but I don't think that you owe them a justification for not wanting to do things. If it's rude to say no, it's rude to ask.
So, which is the one app that actually teaches math, and where's the link to the study?
I tag all new issues that come as “Feature Request”, “Bug”, etc. and then as far as I’m concerned, unless I’m interested in the issue, my work is done.

Those then serve as an excellent roadmap for anyone who wants to contribute, but my projects are built for me and I work on the parts I want and need.

I also use GH automation to auto-close issues after a year. If no one cares enough to implement the change in a year, no one cares.

That's telco's problem, innit? You can still have physical ID at home, for special scenarios just like this. The certificate from cards chip should just let you sign a new certificate in your new sim card.

Or just use any type of biometrics. You give your name (pointless, really) and agree to face-id. Face hash gets validated by gov server.

Facebook has solved this a decade ago. Big tech companies know 90% of population by name, face, all their kinks, activities, plans and desires - can the governments please catch up.

Great to see more data engineering in the direction of SecOps.

We do something similar with VAST at https://vast.io. We’re still early, but especially live and retro detection of threat intel is what we are focusing on. Essentially operationalizing security content for detection and response, plus acquiring and extracting context of alerts and telemetry.

We have an experimental serverless deployment with Lambda and Fargate, but the majority of our users still collocate VAST near network sensors like Zeek and Suricata.

We’re running everything on top of Apache Arrow, storage of telemetry is now also Parquet. The idea is to do everything with open standards to minimize vendor lock-in.

I felt pretty confident about my conclusions of my first dusty old bank job that used a custom shittier homebrew of google web toolkit and no source control.
I certainly tried
Yes, Musk could have received that data and had time to analyze it before buying, these kind of merger contract processes have time built into them to allow prospective buyers to look into finances and other information that is not normally publicly available. Musk was so certain he wanted this that he signed additional documents waiving his right to a due diligence period, allowing him to immediately sign the merger agreement.

This next bit is mainly speculation, but the reason Musk is actually trying to back out is partly to do with the fact that signing the merger contract caused his other companies stock prices to drop and public speculation that his existing business would suffer if he needed to focus on running Twitter. The second and more widely believed version of events is that partly due in fact to his other stock prices dropping, Musk cannot afford Twitter without having to sell more of Tesla and SpaceX than he is willing to. Musk is already down to owning only 17% of Tesla and less than 50% of SpaceX, although that's complicated as some percentage of Tesla is owned by SpaceX and vice versa along with the Boring company in such a way that Musk effectively has majority control over SpaceX whenever he wants. If he has to sell additional stock to cover the purchase of Twitter he would very likely lose the ability to control everything except possibly the Boring Company.

What's more, the contract he signed effectively puts him in a position of buying Twitter at a substantial loss as the stock market has significantly fallen since Musk signed the deal. He would effectively be losing significant control of his two primary sources of wealth in exchange for something he has likely since discovered he cannot run the way he wants.

In short, this was a bad move financially when Musk first announced his intentions, it was extremely foolish of him to waive due diligence, and it became financially even worse shortly after he signed the deal, partly due to the facts that people lost trust in him for waiving due diligence while making a financially inadvisable move, partly due to the fact that he's actually pretty bad at math and doesn't understand the stock market, and partly because the stock market took a nose dive right after he foolishly waived due diligence and signed such a financially ruinous deal.

If you're thinking Musk is smarter than I'm making him out to be, please consider that Musk tried to insert himself into a cave rescue he had nothing to do with, was told not to interfere with the professionals that know what they're doing, and retaliated to being told to butt out by publicly accusing the rescue team lead of being a pedophile despite knowing nothing about the man.

Trying to offer to help without really understanding the situation isn't necessarily a bad thing, but randomly accusing someone of being a pedophile because they were critical of you is so far beyond acceptable behavior it's amazing Musk wasn't banned from Twitter as a result (it was where he made the accusation publicly). That level of harassment violates Twitter's ToS, plain and simple.
We could sometimes afford to be like "oh, that person tried to be clever, maybe I should give them another shot instead of just lazily judging them on a sample size of one"
This is exactly the approach I followed as an employee and it worked great. Unfortunately it doesn't work so well as a single guy answering reader mail.
FB is pretty much on V1 of its GraphQL API with tens of thousands of engineers editing it for over a decade. Every single query is its own version, that's the point. If you want to change the semantics of a field, make a new field and leave the old one for the existing clients. What else would you have to version?

There are also no-money markets like Forecast and the traditional forecasting competitions like GJP and Metaculus
Maybe someone can find this YT video: it was a guy on the back of a Vespa or some small scooter, carrying a boombox that made the sound of a giant Harley.
Since it's an LCG, it does not matter how it was derived as long as the randomness properties are known. Such as cycle length, identical initial state set and dispersion properties. Perhaps also performance.

These should be documented.

It's a rather weak PRNG of short cycle, so the suspicion is that it's made for particular dispersion properties, such as for a hash table of particular data and size or other bucketing algorithm.

Yup: prompt a large language model to tell you about itself and it will sometimes weave weird tales. For example, I just had the following interaction with GTP2large[0]:

Me: What is your name?
Model: I'm Mark A. <continue> Dreyer, and I'm with the <continue> Federal Communications Commission (FCC)

Obviously, it's not actually a guy named Mark A. Dreyer and, as far as I can tell, there is no Mark. A. Dreyer in a prominent role at the FCC. That, as far as I'm concerned, is essentially a hallucination.

If you think about how they work, this isn't totally surprising. The model has been programmed to take the input, turn it into a series of tokens, and then produce another series of tokens that are especially likely to follow the input ones. That's it.

To the extent that this corresponds to reality, it's only because reality is overrepresented in the training data, and so token sequences corresponding to reality are often more likely under its model. This also explains how it goes off the rails: Mark is a very common name (in the top 25 for men for decades) and once you generate a stereotypical middle-aged white guy name, it's not a huge leap to him being a bureaucrat, etc. I forgot to delete the huggingface boilerplate, which talks about advances in technology (etc), which probably sent it down the FCC route too.
Capacity factor is generally better for nuclear than any other energy source.

Sorry, I didn't realize French nuclear reactors weren't generating any energy at the moment.

But logs are structured and filtered by their relevance to security. In what way is that a "lake"?

Is "data lake" just the new plural of "dataset"?
Looking at comment history, the gp is arguing with people about free speech and defending "true conservative ideas". His comment is also the only one mentioning the blog authors gender and political leaning.

So this is probably just casual misogyny from a usual suspect.
I've done exactly that in the heat of the moment and I felt incredibly rude.
What about an automatic reply with some "helpful links" and a suggestion box?
You would think that. But I'm one of a few scientists that work on the only fully integrated climate observation station for the Greenland ice sheet. I'm headed to Greenland as I type this. The Greenland ice sheet is the fastest melting piece of ice in the world, and is one of the canaries-in-the-coal mine that we need to observe to understand catastrophic climate change impacts. I was just discussing with my colleagues the other day the amount funding that projects such as the JWST get, and how it's extremely difficult to get funding for climate observations. We operate the station on a paltry shoestring budget and it was nearly shutdown by the NSF last year.

And. To be clear. It's a difficult discussion to have. Bickering about which science projects deserve more funding is a lose-lose battle, like cutting of each other's kneecaps (JWST is an incredible project). Yet climate science is extremely poorly funded, in particular monitoring projects or analysis. Climate science has also fallen prey to the "must be new big and shiny" problem that everything else has.
IDK if you noticed, but when servers go down all airports go haywire. IDK how many systems are out there, but I assume thousands already. Just about every country now requires e-visa now too, all checked by airline before departure.

And by the way - if countries managed to agree on offline passport implementation, which is way more complicated, I don't see how they can't nail online one.
"I suspect most people who claim to love them are exaggerating."

I can't imagine why a person would either think, or write, this sentence. Most people are being honest when they say they enjoy a thing.
brain drain to web development, mostly.
I disagree.

This isn't barber shops and orange juice. Real estate is a far more structured market. Limited space. Price-pegged debt availability. Transport/infrastructure. Long term asset inflation trends. This creates a lot of ambiguity around the effect of supply on price... within realistic boundaries.

A simple supply and demand curve rarely models most urban real estate markets usefully.

I can assure you, I am not.

Apple's pro-privacy behaviour was their message, explicitly speaking. But ultimately the market received it as "anti-advertising". The best of marketing isn't telling you what to think, ( pro-privacy ) but leads you what to think ( anti-advertising ). And Apple was happy to play along with it.

They were absolutely against advertising, or more precisely Facebook's advertising revenue.

The two example you show were already well pass 2020. As I said Tim Cook had to make a few statement about how they are not anti Advertising cough. after the damage was done. And only after the Ad industry were furious.
But these days movies are made by teams of hundreds of people too.
I think most nutrition science can be boiled down to 4 rules that most people should follow, and ignore the rest

1. Avoid processed Foods, Learn to cook your own meals

2. Eat a variety of foods

3. Control your portions (especially carbs)

4. Drink more water

Everything else is mostly irrelevant to the normal person. Are eggs good or bad, is Red meat worse than Chicken, etc etc... Who Cares. Eat it all in moderation, while mixing in fruits and veggies all in proper portion

I think it was Food Theory Channel or somewhere that had a video on the amount of influence various industries have had over the "recommendation" by "nutrition science" experts and / or the government, the end result is most "nutrition science" is really marketing not science
There's a great story [1] of how established Australian independent bookstore Readings survived the entrance of Borders into the market in the early 2000s.

Borders opened a huge store directly over the street from Readings' flagship store and tried to wage a price war, whilst Readings kept its prices up and redoubled its efforts at providing a great experience to customers.

Since Borders shut down in Australia in 2011, Readings has continued to expand and thrive, now operating seven stores in key locations around Melbourne, but still retaining its small-business, community-focused charm, and still just selling good books to book lovers, as it did when it first opened in the late 1960s.

Maybe a

Just a

Nothing

The conceptual issue is that the center of gravity moved from `a`, where our imperative programs would have it.

Now, much of the logic has transitioned over to Maybe, Just, and Nothing.

The profound effect is that `a` matters less. "Where is the `a`?" the procedural programmer wants to know.

"Meh. Have this monad and let the runtime execution of the code kiss your `a` on an as-needed basis," says Haskell.
They're using it more like python or perl than like a spreadsheet. Being able to checking large datasets for silent corruption like this would imply they'd be using a more appropriate tool.

As for (3), the data sets are often unavailable before publication or released well before the paper is submitted.

Sadly Excel is one of the more popular tools in this space. I agree Excel is the culprit; imagine what would happen if it treated dollar amounts as poorly as gene names!
I just mean adding "Dear person" at the top of your email, and not just writing like you're pinging your bestie on whatsapp. Basic email etiquette ya know?

If I got an email that was JUST "hello" I'd just ignore it. It's different advice for a different situation.
Agree, does seems high.
Two way city streets don't have to be, and often aren't, wide enough for two lanes of traffic to pass at once.

A thing that narrows the effective width is people parking on both sides or double parking.

Anyway, are you saying that it is legal to pass someone on a road with a dotted yellow line, but never on an unmarked street?
Are they going to provide the code to run private servers or is the goal to get people to stop playing older games and spend more on new games? Is the deadpool timer ticking on GhostRecon and all the other FarCry games?
And, frankly, what’s wrong with using office to open/edit a text file? It works well enough, even if it is akin to using a 747 to get the current weather conditions at altitude.

I read through this a while ago while deciding on a design for my next dactyl-manuform build, and I'm unfortunately struck that in 5 years, we still don't have a good opensource trackpoint design. I wouldn't necessarily expect that one would pop up in a vacuum, except for these three data points:

1) The Cambrian explosion of 3D printed, custom, hand wired keyboard designs -- dactyl -> dactyl-manuform -> tracktyl (trackball based), entire companies build around kits and designs that have to be hand assembled, r/ergomechkeyboards, discord channels for things like bastardkb.com, etc.

2) The similar, if earlier days, explosion of trackball designs: see the long discussion at the Verge [0].

3) Equivalent popularity when available of trackpoint style pointers -- thinkpad keyboards and Unicomp clone Model M's with trackpoint built in (though with the cardinal sin for Linux use of not having a middle click option.

It seems like we're overdue for a good trackpoint module that I can build into the frame of a serious manuform style keyboard without having to use a 16mm piercing to extend the point past a full mechanical key.

Why not just query the database directly then?
I would expect it to leave my data alone unless told so. It’s one of the little things that drive me crazy with Excel the few times I use it, and every time I need to search how to make it behave because I don’t use it nearly enough to remember.
I'm seeing this kind of complaint so frequently, it made me wonder if there is a software solution for it. Can we build a better back button?
There was a study on "gluten intolerance" (which unfortunately I deleted) where they did in fact control people's diets in a double-blind way, and check the validity of their symptoms.

Maybe someone can find it, but even with all that rigor, it was somewhat inconclusive.
The argument against transhumanism is that conventional 'external' technology is more flexible and convenient, and glasses are clearly in the latter category.

I'm not against transhumanism as such, to an extent it's inevitable for medical reasons. I expect we'll gradually build up experience from medical implants and a minority experimenting with body modification, and eventually a consensus on useful mods will emerge. I think it's going to be a very minority thing for a very, very long time though. All of my lifetime and probably those of my kids. Technology is advancing too fast for it to make a lot of sense to surgically commit to current generation tech right now, except on an experimental or critical medical basis.
What Is Serverless Architecture? Benefits and Use Cases Examples
Move off of GitHub. It's clear that neither the founders nor the new Microsoft management care about this kind of noxious spam. Or at least, they can't be bothered to give you the tools you need to deal with it (I want to be able to, at my discretion, (1) disable creation of issues and pull requests (2) force an approval process where I must approve issues and PRs before they even appear on the page (3) be able to decline PRs without the original poster or anyone else from getting an alert).

The fact that they won't add these features isn't surprising, GitHub is designed to be a corporate product, for corporate dev teams. That's who pays the bills, not open-source projects which are less obviously a benefit to GitHub (they are, they bring corporate users/payers to the platform).

It's clear you don't want to be confrontational in any way. I understand, it's also not in my nature. You shouldn't be forced to deal with this, yet on GitHub, you will be.
Are you a fellow DALL-E/generative art fan? I have looked for something similar in the past week to help improve my generations ;-) I have found a few things that can help:

https://magazine.artland.com/art-movements-and-styles/

A list of artists: https://asc.fooo.ooo/

A list of styles (not as thorough as we might like yet): https://dalledictionary.notion.site/Art-Illustration-Styles-...

I would certainly to have a more exhaustive list with an example alongside each one though, and may end up creating it myself!
Open, I guess. If you edit and try to save, you have to be careful not to add formatting characters.
If the feature isn't something on your roadmap, and it is important to you, or important enough for them to contribute brue code themselves, then politely say, "not on our roadmap" and close the issue.
