the author of this blog is mentioned the mystic aspects of all major religions except Islam; was it done out of ignorance or intentional neglect? It's difficult to guess. But it surely does point out an important issue when an "article" is presented:

how do we know what is withheld, what is presented incorrectly? whether intentionally or not, it surely does point out the blind spot of unknown unknowns--and if readers know less than writers, then readers will never be able to fathom what was withheld.

For instance, he mentioned Gurdjieff but Ibn Arabi was the giant of Mysticism--and continues to remains so to this day.

UT1 might not work for engineering applications with tight tolerances, as the length of a UT1 second varies.

Personally, in my non-expert opinion, we should stop adding or subtracting leap seconds from UTC (that is, UTC would thereafter be at a constant offset from TAI), and leap seconds would instead be added to the timezone DB. That way local time (like Aug 14 2022 xx:53) would still retain the familiarity with 12:00 being noon, at least at some point in each timezone, but calculations with UTC seconds would not need to bother with leap seconds.
There is only a small subset of organizations with a small subset of members tackling a small subset of problems that can achieve their goals fully asynchronously. For everything else, synchronous meetings will continue to be essential (and even those projects like Linux which seem to be fully asynchronous usually have one contributor who dominates the project and thus the communication overhead/latency problem isn't as taxing)
> May I ask what classifies this comment as flamebait

Well, for starters, switching to a highly divisive topic that has nothing to do with the original story; jacking up the indignation/inflammation levels; snark; and I suppose also the political reference.

> Could you explain to me objectively how the parent comment doesn't fall under the same one too?

I don't know about "objectively" because there's always interpretation involved—but I'd say the GP comment was quite a bit closer to the original topic; did not introduce a classic flamewar topic; contained more information than inflammation; and wasn't snarky.
according to what standard? subjective taste do not a standard make.
Agreed, I too find podcasts to be fairly bad at with deeply technical topics. The best I found are podcasts like Linux after dark or Stack Overflow Podcast. Anything more technical than that and I just zone out. Might be just me.
I don't know; I'm only a few years younger than John Carmack. IDEs with decent debuggers were a thing from the mid nineteen eighties already. They were widely used and you can learn to work with them in a few afternoons. And decent IDEs are available for many languages. Including Rust, C, and C++, etc. Also on macs.

Not using tools that are there is a choice that a lot of people seem to insist they need to make. I've heard all the excuses on this front and it usually boils down to people believing in their super skills, discipline, and intelligence to the extent that they believe they don't need those tools. Some people actually feel threatened by a tool telling them they are doing stuff wrong. They get annoyed and frustrated by that. It's irrational.
A top 1% on it’s own is not a problem. It is the power they have over everything to not only keep things that way but make life worse for everyone else. For example by lobbying for laws that help corporations not people.
>the average fiat currency has a lifespan of roughly half your life expectancy (37yr irrc).

Just like our products, fiat currencies have planned obsolescence and limited lifespans, this is because permanent money is a fantasy that cannot exist in the real world. Almost nothing in the real economy is permanent, not even humans.

If you want a currency that lasts forever it will have to not only have children, it will also have to be able to die like humans.

I've never experienced my IQ increase when listening to Mozart or I'd be listening to his music 24/7 nonstop. ;-)

...But then there's that other Mozart effect experienced by those of us who know and love his music. It cannot be adequately described but only conveyed from one another by knowledge of the fact.

The theologian Karl Barth once quipped 'On the day God made Mozart he overdid the goodness essence' - and we know exactly what he meant.
Thank you! Your instincts are totally right. I've tried a few experiments using 3D model source as a model input, and...

The good:
It's possible to apply a segmentation model and "mask" expected real-world shape based on a mask extracted from the 3D source files.

The bad:
3D segmentation proposals are expensive to calculate/reduce (imagine rendering a point cloud). The 2D masking experiments I ran were low signal / high noise compared to 2D bounding boxes.

The ugly:
Your camera, printer, and slicer object rotation must all be very carefully calibrated and anchored.

I have ideas about how to use stereoscopic cameras to run an automatic calibration routine, but haven't had time to roll out experiments. If you're curious, I gave a talk about PrintNanny's print quality model [1].

Also yep, I run a TensorFlow Lite model and post-processing directly on the Pi. I'm actually working on a blog post about this now! [2]

Would you recommend it to someone who's never read them? In other words, do they hold up?
OctoPrint is meant to be used with many different 3D printers and their default firmware. But that also means it is restricted to using a common interface most printers support, and there isn't anything else than sending text-based G-Code directly. And even that has varying levels of brokenness on different printers, the manufacturers don't seem to care that much about interoperability.

Switching out the entire Firmware, which is what you need to do to use Klipper is an entirely different thing than adding a nice web UI in front of your existing 3D printer.

The author of OctoPrint also said that she tried at some point to convince people to define a binary G-Code format, but apparently that went really badly. A more efficient format for transferring the data to the 3D printers would help to avoid the problems OctoPrint has to fight to get reasonable performance when printing. But it does not seem feasible to get the manufacturers and firmware writers to agree on anything there.
In reality I have only seen this happen to old/bad cars with equally bad diesel engines.

Hmmm, those services selling you residential IP address proxying have become pretty cheap and easy to use. I guess if you'd block all those non-ISP addresses people would just start to use them. Im using one for a personal scraping project and it's very simple to set up, most allow you to pick a country of origin and other nice features.
Interestingly Klipper recommends installing octopi on their website: https://www.klipper3d.org/Installation.html
I think some of the comments here are too hard on octoprint, it is still kind of a universal pocket knife for 3d printing.
A genuine question: can someone explain to me the appeal? I tried a number of Joe Rogan episodes, and the long, unstructured format of just "shooting shit" was deeply offputing to me.
I just returned from a trip in Asia where 50% of machines did not accept any of my cards. In one case (parking garage) I asked a passerby to pay for me with their card, and gave them cash.

While I enjoy that I can pay everything by card at home, and mostly stopped going to the handful of places that don't accept cards, I do appreciate the fact that cash is usually available as a backup.

They just don't treat them well. I have a non stick pan, mid level, for over 10 years, and it's in use quite often, it looks just like on the first day. You would be surprised to see how people treat their kitchen utensils and the poor maintenance that goes on in most people's homes.

The klipper3d.org website says you need to install octoprint first and doesn't mention any alternatives.
Also note that while this repo might look like a third party bolton (it started that way), the type hinting syntax is nowadays actually integrated in the language.

The only thing you need to do is add appropriate type hints at function definitions and then run mypy in your build and CI and you got something that checks basically as strict as Java.

For those saying it’s optional so can’t be trusted, consider that compiling C++ with -Wall -Werror is also optional… adding it is simply part of standard project hygiene.

> I'm not even sure how much floor space JWO saves vs self-checkout.

Not sure JWO is about saving floor space. It's more about saving the customer time. A grocery line on a Saturday afternoon is frustrating. Imagine Costco having this.

JWO works with products sold by weight (like produce -- it uses sensor fusion with weight sensors), large items and identical-looking items too. I tried it last week at Amazon Fresh. It works.
> The metals thing is a problem the markets will solve because the tech is largely solved.

There's lots of things the markets haven't "solved".

Also, getting a lot more nasty things out of the Earth will also most probably mean more dead kids in the mines of Africa, but I'm sure the market won't advertise that. At least the Saudis don't directly kill kids in their oil-fields explorations (they kill them only indirectly in Yemen, with the guns they've purchased from the West using the money they got from the oil-fields).
It doesn't have the same breadth of content advisories, but I prefer IMDB's parental guidance. I've tried DTDD before but found the website obnoxious to use; why do I have to whitelist stripe for the search function to work? Why is all the content crammed into a column that's only one fifth the width of my browser window?

IMDB is also good for content discovery, not just content advisories, so it's more of a one-stop-shop when trying to figure out what movie to watch. I like the idea of DDTD, but for me IMDB just does it better.
So you think someone making minimum wage can afford 270k+?

Also those prices are only for existing condos and houses

For your second link here's a fact- house prices have skyrocketed for decades now while minimum wage has remained the same 7.25/hr for the same time if not longer.

The very link you used shows a huge spike from 5.1 up to 8+ and those are all historic highs.

This completely discredits the work being presented. I wish universities and institutions (and popular science media) stopped doing that. It is really annoying to have headlines about $whatever “breaking the laws of Physics” every other day when reading the abstract is enough to see that no, this is not breaking anything. It is also harmful in the long term because it reinforces pseudo-scientific tendencies in the general public.

As an example, I once had a discussion with someone arguing that energy use was not a problem because we’ll soon have free energy because he read a badly written vulgarisation piece discussing arguments for local non-conservation of energy in some quantum interactions.

This gives people in general a very distorted view of what is and is not feasible. Which would not be too much of a problem if people did not then vote and behave based on this inaccurate perception.

Funny that you think NAT64 is relevant. Every successful deployment I’ve worked with in the US is just dual stack. Native v6 networks with nat64 came after the big content providers got ipv6 server support for the dual stackers.

NAT64 has worse scaling than CGNAT (requires more state and moving pieces) so it was never a solution to drive adoption.
Not so clear to me. If some company flooded a river with heart attack inducing chemicals, would you say that's fine because not having heart attacks isn't a human right?

I'll put it to you like this. If you believe there is a human right, then someone can't pursue it if they're dead. So if, in order to pursue that right, they need to pursue being alive, the pursuit of being alive falls within that right, no?
If there's that much traffic, a four way stop will be even worse than a roundabout. You'll need a turbo roundabout, traffic lights or grade separated intersections in that case.

Four way stops are one of the dumbest inventions of man kind that are way over used in North America. Everyone has to stop all the time and it leads to scary situations at 2 way stops because people don't expect those anymore.

Here is a great video about life without stop signs in the Netherlands: https://youtu.be/42oQN7fy_eM

And here are some infinitely better alternatives:

Low traffic + low speed: raised intersections where right goes first.

Medium traffic + medium speed: priority road with yield signs on side streets and roundabouts

High traffic + medium speed: traffic lights

High traffic + high speed: grade separated intersections
Looks pretty cool! And soo smooth.

It's really changing this year and Tesla is losing market share to the competition (though the market itself is growing). The competition has finally stepped up.

Buyers are opting for other excellent cars like the Kia EV6, the VW ID.3/ID.4/ID.5, the Hyundai Ioniq 5, the Mercedes-Benz EQC, the Polestar 2 and the BMW iX. The number of excellent options is rapidly multiplying, which is good for everyone.
The X is there, but nothing happens when I tap it. Safari, IPhone.
Re: domains -- good point.

I found some screenshots of Dillo 0.6 -- interesting to see how little the GUI has changed over time, since 2002: https://web.archive.org/web/20020611213502/http://dillo.cips...

I'm not a software engineer, just an unix-minded end-user, but I've always seen this sort of consistency as very good, thoughtful engineering. Having an almost unchanged GUI for 20+ years is an indicator of well thought out defaults early on, I suppose.

Similar projects that come to mind are mhwaveedit and mtPaint (the latter was inspired by the former, /1, 2). I need to do audio work, so mhwaveedit is a gem that, for me, has replaced Audacity almost entirely. Blazing fast, with a consistent, extremely well thought out GUI again.

Eric S. Raymond used Audacity as an example of great unix-y GUI design in "The Art of Unix Programming". I've often thought, that, by now, Audacity somewhat suffers from "feature creep", including GUI-wise. mhwaveedit has managed to escape adding features.

Quoting a passage grom TAOUP: "Several features of this UI are subtly excellent and worthy of emulation /.../. But these are details. The central virtue of this program is that it has a superbly transparent and natural user interface, one that erects as few barriers between the user and the sound file as possible." /3

I'd say Dillo managed to maintain the same core idea in terms of web browsing, have as few barriers between the user and the HTML file as possible. No added bloat, for 22 consecutive years. This is quite remarkable, actually -- as compared to GUI (and other) changes of many other browsers. Obviously, the scope of those "other browser projects" is different as well; it's a different world.

Also, possibly the consistency of the GUI has to do with the use of FLTK, which kind of forces the devs to focus on the bare essentials.

Let's hope that these indications of Dillo's death (because no homepage) are greatly exaggerated. Greetings and a thousand thanks thus far to all of Dillo's devs!

> Who can look me in the eye with a straight face and say bitcoin protects against volatility?

In 5y, 1 USD went from 3.44 Turkish Lira to 17.94; Sri Lankan Rupee collapsed overnight from ~200 to ~360 per USD. Argentine Peso went from 17 to 134 per USD in 5 years.

I can easily look you in the eye and say that for countries with shitty governance and poorly managed economies, Bitcoin is a far better bet than their local currencies. So far, a common alternative was USD but after it was demonstrated that even a nuclear armed country like Russia can lose its USD reserves overnight, I think a lot of countries would be looking for alternatives. Bitcoin and Gold are credibly neutral alternatives.
usually both are required, so now it adds up to a full day.

if i interview at 10 companies suddenly a lot of vacation time is gone.

so i am not going to take time off until i am reasonably certain that i want this job and can get it if i pass.

likewise i'll be willing to take time off for a take home assignment only when that is the last test i need to pass.

if companies want the assignment before they'll even look at my CV, then that's to much.

steps should be:

look at the CV to see if the candidate is basically quslified.

talk to the candidate to get to know them, answer any questions, agree on salary and benefits.

once that is all sorted, bring on the coding test.
>There is only a small subset of organizations with a small subset of members tackling a small subset of problems that can achieve their goals fully asynchronously.

Both this assumption and the gp's assumption are just that: assumptions. It's fascinating how a few years of half-hearted attempts with status quo management all too eager to revert to at-location is used as a way to support this.

It's still way too early to make such a bold statement.
I've stopped using self-checkout because I always run into troubles. In one store when I accidentally double-scan an item, I have to press the button to call someone, and it takes 5 minutes for someone to show up.

In another store you need to place your groceries onto a weighing shelf, and somehow I couldn't figure out what to do to make the machine happy.

For produce and pastries that don't have a bar code you have to navigate through a stupid hierarchical menu and I just couldn't find some of the items...

At some point these machines hopefully will improve (just like automatic ticket machines have improved), but for now I still prefer waiting in a normal checkout line.
France has juries for 'crime' trials under the civil law system. I'm not sure the presence of juries can tell you which of the system you have, nor the system you have tell you whether you have a jury.

Well, a vending machine would have limited inventory. Whereas you can buy a lot more stuff at a store. I was at Stockholm Centralstation and used the self-checkout there too -- it works fine if you have less than 5 items (which you typically would).

The Co-op grocery store in Stockholm Centralstation also has self-checkouts but it's self-checkout is a lot slower when you have 20-30 items in your cart, and you have to catch a train.
