I agree, Dall-e doesn't seem to understand what "pop" is either. Thanks for the effort in indulging me, though! I appreciate!
Yeah there are a lot of people living on the east side of the Central Valley and few on the central coast.
Yes, there are too many humans; the human population is too much. But, that does not mean that you have to kill everyone; that is no good. However, if you eliminate all of the mosquitoes, then that is also no good.

You must have right to defend yourself (from humans and from nonhumans), and mosquitoes and other animal also must have the right to defend themself (from humans and from nonhumans). However, this is not to be done by eliminating populations, or by starting by attacking all of the animals/plants.

Animal also might attack other animal/plants for food also will be needed though, including human and nonhuman. (And then, if there is an attack then also will be the defense.)

Humans should stop damaging the environment/world (including the parts of the environment/world which are harmful to humans). Many human hopefully should be having less children too, in order to reduce future population; that is better than committing suicide or by having a war. (While, some other animal (and possibly some plants too, but not human (at this time)) are endangered species and might need to have more children.)
It solved IRC? I mean, "Slack" is now other products like Teams or Matrix too. Apparently running your own chat servers and supporting only plain-text chat out of the box was a problem for the common person.

Although to me holding your chats hostage is unique to Slack afaik and I don't think it has e2e which is a major issue personally but not so much in a corporate setting.
The Dawn of Everything has to be one of the worst books on anthropology out there. It's a thing disguised polemic dressed up as archeological history.

I find Yuval's work to be more digestible, in part due to better writing, and in part due to less pretense.

I would also suggest Susan RiceBauer's The History of Ancient Civilizations, Jack Weatherford's Genghis Khan and the making is the modern world, and Lars Brownworths Lost to the West: the forgotten Byzantine Empire.
I'm no expert on this topic. My perspective is simply that it's against a debt holder's interest to have the debt's underlying asset (currency) devalued. It's much better if the debt holder gets their interest payments (the "rent seeking" part) against an asset that has a stable equivalent monetary value (in term of purchasing power). Especially when we talk of currency, since the interest payment is made... in the currency that would be devalued. Basically, China is long on the USD.

"Seira fuku (セーラー服 ) is a common style of uniform worn by female middle school students, occasionally by high school students, and even rarely by elementary school students. It was first introduced as a school uniform in 1920 in Heian Jogakuin (平安女学院) and 1921 by the principal of Fukuoka Jo Gakuin University (福岡女学院), Elizabeth Lee. "

Knee length - a common length - is relatively short. It's no mini skirt, but I regularly see men's swim trunks that would cover more leg than those skirts do.
Quote from the blog linked:

>The target date is September 15, 2022, but this estimate might have even a week of error.
My company was using Hipchat in 2016 but it was also an web browser (maybe it was nw.js?) wrapper with the following deficiencies compared to slack and we were very glad when they got acquired and we switched:

- Horrible text editor compared to slack (no inline code, no syntax highlighting, lists barely worked, undo barely worked)
- notification preferences (per channel) we’re lacking.
- no threading support
- UI was laggy compared to slack.
- there was an very limited set of emojis.
- no good mobile app.
- few and limited integrations (notably I use GitHub, Jira, and Outlook integrations for slack).

Still hipchat was far better than Teams is today.
When I was there last over a year ago, there was a big push to switch logs stored in the internal log service from gzip to zstd. But gzip is extremely well integrated into essentially everything, that it's a little annoying to switch. For example, the base OS images didn't even have zstd installed. It's still worth it for the benefits (at least once all the internal tools started supporting it), but it's not without some downsides. Which is maybe why it took so long to happen in earnest.
Same here. I do remember the famous scene from West Wing which lead me to research the topic. Scene here: https://youtu.be/eLqC3FNNOaI

> "I call us the off-label bandits — a title I am proud to bear,” said Dr. Adam Friedman

I get the sentiment, but bandits don't go to school for twenty years. Cholestyramine, for example, is a quality of life necessity for some patients following cholecystectomy, but there'll never be widespread acceptance by surgeons since its not their area.

> "Oral minoxidil costs pennies a day,” Dr. King said. “There is no incentive to spend tens of millions of dollars to test it in a clinical trial. That study truly is never, ever going to be done.”

Just a shame. Can there be no other path to getting acknowledgement from the FDA? More and more I am inclined to ignore their seal (or lack thereof).

> Some patients taking low-dose minoxidil, though, notice stray hairs growing on their faces and chins. So some dermatologists, including Dr. Sinclair, have added another drug — very low doses of spironolactone, a blood pressure drug that also blocks certain sex hormones called androgens — to try to prevent unwanted hair growth.

To be clear, minoxidil is a vasodilator and spironolactone is a diuretic - both can treat hypertension, but in different ways. At the hair-regrowth dose, I assume these effects are negligible, but I hope the bandits are handy with their sphygmomanometers.

Since February, the mrustc project [0] has been capable of bootstrapping a relatively-recent Rust compiler from C++. (It currently takes another 8 Rust-to-Rust steps to reach the latest stable version.) I've personally tested it on my x86_64-linux-gnu machine, but I don't know how tough it would be to get it to support new targets.

GPU based mining of ETH will turn off, literally, in 15s (one block). But the thing is, it will just move to other coins, for now. Once those are not as profitable, things will rebalance as people shut off their GPUs.

Future, ETH will grow with power requirements too... just a lot more slowly... ASICs for zero knowledge are coming, which will create a bit of an energy race. Staking will always be increasing... which will require compute and power.

At the end of the day, overall, the existing power usage won't actually go away... it will just get moved to other things. Always remember that power companies are incentivized to sell their power to the highest bidder...
The part which seems relevant is if the parents (or a random person) had the information that the rabbit would be made into stew, then that would likely change their decision to return the rabbit.
How do you know the stereotype is correct? And poor people wasting their lives on drugs is another pervasive stereotype.
Given that almost all maps are now viewed on electronic devices, why bother using any projection? We can now show the entire earth with no distortion by letting users rotate a virtual globe. Zooming in and out has already solved the core problem of globes being bulky and undetailed relative to maps. I would argue that for laypeople use of projections is still largely a historical artifact that we haven't aged out of yet. There are only a relative handful of people who might actually navigate using the old ways, but in practice thats's just a failsafe for computer assisted planning which considers the true shape of the earth already.
> it kills the myth that C is the only game in town for writing compilers

A compiler is a pretty pure, high-level operation. Makes no sense to use a low-level language for it.
I came to the comments to say that it’s reassuring. :)
Bitcoin is never going to change from PoW... That's the point of the system, Bitcoin is unchangable, unlike Ethereum.

But you are free to create your own PoS cryptocurrency. If some PoS system offers the same security features as Bitcoin, people will just switch from Bitcoin to that.
Multitudes of miners will no longer race to find the next computationally expensive hash. Proof of Stake does address the energy concerns of crypto.
The people I've met, with zero exceptions, miss their home and want to go back. One of them had just finished buying and decorating hers when the war broke out. Another I met yesterday didn't even leave until a week ago, because of all the chatter about the upcoming danger with Independence Day on August 24 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Independence_Day_of_Ukraine).

Who is your comment directed to, anyway? You're saying "just so you know", as if of the two of us, you met with more UA refugees than I have -- you clearly haven't talked to a single one. You're wrong, prejudiced, and frankly a little disgusting.

Sorry, did I say a little? Hm.
You can trust that any link from avc.com has unstated financial conflict of interest. These links get on the front page because people gawk at “VC said X” not because there’s technical or even truthful discussion of X.
What a ridiculous assertion. Either you're a carpetbagger yourself or you're simply completely ignorant to economics. We're talking about the most progressive form of taxation here that most affects the wealthy. Any revenue generated from land taxes is revenue that doesn't have to taxed from income or sales, so regular people would be able to accumulate a much larger estate to begin with.

>Not investment vehicles, or somewhere to hide cash from that nasty inflation.

Exactly, which is the point of disincentivizing people of treating it as an investment...
In case of Java, wouldn't you only need to bootstrap JVM? Bytecode for the initial compiler can be compiled on another platform and then brought over.
It's hard to look at a whole globe at once. It's also hard to have enough globes to see how political boundaries have changed over time. Flat projections are needed for educational purposes too.
Isn’t it quite common to only do financial reports only every quarter, 6 months, yearly?
I'm surprised more folks in this thread haven't mentioned Campfire. I thought Campfire was excellent for its time. I didn't see a real product-focused reason why Slack should have won out, but it undoubtedly had better marketing/sales.

>The title might as well be, "shows that are written specifically to have commercials are more entertaining when the commercials are kept in".

Yes, but...
I enjoy certain youtube content, oftentimes it'll be ripped tv shows. Nothing more annoying (but thank you, rippers) than the cut adverts being so obviously cut, in that there's a 15min intro, a build up, and then a ridiculous summary of 'the predicament' (which would have been after the ads) and bujld up.

Did we really forget everything when adverts were shown?

US shows are worse, probably because they showe more adverts?
Given that the merge reduces the electricity cost for new Ethereum by ~1000x, won't the price just tank in a race to the bottom?
Do elaborate. The most funky differential I know comes from EE's Maxwell eqns (how capacitors work, and weird ideas about "ground").
Does the merge come with any real world benefits? Besides now not needing the yearly power consumption of Belgium.

If you've studied real analysis some of the integrals don't converge the way the paper claims they do (I think Lubos makes similar comments on the page you linked in one of the sister comments).
I'll generally rate an MSc lower than BA/BSc. (The exceptions would be if you needed the MSc to meet some visa requirement, or if you had an BSc in some weakly-related field beforehand.)

From downvoters: I would genuinely love to hear a defense of an MSc per se. What university has their shit together enough to actually accelerate/compress 2-4y of work experience into 1-2y years of academic project, which is what's always the claim? If all you're doing is the courses, those are accessible to 4th year undergraduates in every university I know.

To a person, everyone I've interviewed who did an MSc for the coursework had to because they finished their BSc with minimum effort and no one was interested in hiring them. Even worse is when you see 4y BSc, 2y work, 1y MSc.
That's literally what the person above you said. On Amazon's scale the process will take time.
I prefer by far sleeping on the ground than in a hammock, I do that in summer (just a yoga mat, or it can be nothing for a short nap, and a t-shirt as pillow), it's fresher, it keeps my spine straight

I think the benefit of hammock is above all to avoid all kind of dangers on the ground

Maybe, but an increase of ambient CO2 would mess with our ability to breathe properly so it doesn't sound like a great strategy.

What I found helps is a fan blowing on you to disrupt the pockets of CO2 pooling around you as you breathe in your sleep.
My guess is that it would take a really good understanding of what task the user is trying to accomplish. Working from that, you could then create the interfaces.

I frequently catch myself writing code more from the "I am able do this" rather than the "should I do this" point of view. In my experience, not having a clear goal that benefits a user makes it hard to get any idea adopted.

What do you think an empowered user would want to do? All the pieces are probably there to make things work.
For archiving RAW files, yes.

For RAW --> lossy format, storing them in JPEG-XL would be preferable, and I doubt most compression algos would do better than JPEG-XL.

We (in NL) had a similar one with a girl on bicycle. "Pam, your hair is dancing" I guess it was Andrelon. Regardless the commercial does not give me a positive connotation to the brand, since commercials don't appear to influence me like that. Perhaps because I am on the spectrum?
This is what is often taught in engineering/physics, but is not correct. One physics professor tried to explain it by pointing out that it only has meaning under an integral sign (not sure it's correct).

The other obvious problem is its value at the origin. Infinity as a value is not something mathematicians like - at least not the way it is used here. And integrating it to get 1 makes no sense mathematically merely by setting its value to infinity.

Yes, « Nonlinear dynamics and chaos » is my favorite, I think it’s his best book. It has tons of nice examples and gets you a crash course over multiple concepts. « Sync » is nice too, but not a textbook definitely ( I don’t recall if it even had a single equation in it).
Sounds very interesting.
Would love to see it as well.
And using laws in ways they were not intended to be used (loopholes) corresponds to hacking.

It's never punished in the same way as hacking, though. In fact, it's often considered a fair practice.
I don’t use Safari because it breaks more random stuff on websites than any other browser, has horrible support for WebGL, struggles to render gradient / animated SVG under many circumstances, has a terrible extension ecosystem, and has a lot of random bugs that annoy me.

Read this one before, I think before I came self-employed. Made a few of the mistakes he's talked about. I'll share them in the hope it might help someone else.

Your customer certainly has to believe you can do the job, but they cannot wonder if you're going to get back to them, or if you're going to do something stupid (again?), or offend one of their customers.

I've definitely offended a customer of a customer before. It was a customer who was well known for being rude - a running joke through the whole company. But I definitely ruffled some feathers when I got sick of their shit and left the call.

Part of me thinks I should have been more zen and let the insults wash over me. But another part of me thinks that prevention is better than the cure and a frank conversation with my client about what I was willing to tolerate would have been the way to go. I mean, do you have to be a smiling doormat to excel in business?

You have no job security, even if you think you do

Yeap. Twice at the end of a full time contract, I found another one extremely easily. The one I left at the beginning of this year I still haven't really covered from, and I've essentially had to change niches and start from scratch.

Very keen to optimise for multiple part time roles from now on.

You are primarily in the customer service business, not the technical business

I have made this mistake before to an extent. Zero in on what your customer actually wants not your technical wizardry.

This is the easiest to manage: you work an hour, you invoice the customer for a hour. For occasional or ill-defined work, it's hard to use anything but hourly billing. The customer bears the brunt of projects that get out of hand, and the customer is really at the mercy of the consultant for being fair.

I disagree with this one though. An hour is way too fine grained - there's much less paperwork and micro accounting with daily. Strongly considered charging weekly next year.
No, no, no!
NYC has a functioning subway system that can land you 2 blocks from just about anywhere. There are entire areas of San Francisco you have to navigate bus transfers, bus transfers that were not predictable, to get to. Bus transfers nearly always inflate trip time significantly and are subject to the unpredictable force of traffic.

To put it politely: that's a load of crap unless you equate Lower Manhattan with all of New York City. There are huge swaths of New York that are inaccessible via the subway (primarily the outer boroughs). Go to the more suburban parts of Brooklyn or Queens for instance. Here's a Bloomberg article on what they call "subway deserts" or the "plight of the outer boroughs"

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-08-05/mapping-n...

A subway that runs every 5 minutes

No subway runs every five minutes all day. Late night NY is every 20-30 (same as Muni), there's a wiki page for it. Per Muni's SRTP the light rail headways are b/t 12 and 20 minutes depending on the time of day. And before you complain Muni doesn't meet those standards, the New York subway is subject to human and mechanical delays just like San Francisco.

Because if you can pay, parking in San Francisco is not too hard.

Eh? There are roughly 500,000 vehicles registered in San Francisco and about 275,000 on street parking spots. There are residential permits in some areas to ensure turnover because, yes, it can be extremely difficult to find a spot.
