Dude, you're describing logging in.

If I don't have cookies, I have to receive that email again, and it introduces a large amount of failure points EVERY SINGLE TIME this login happens. Instead of just once, on account verification.

Seriously, I've built enough apps that require email verification to know how much of a failure point that email verification is, and it's a significant draw on onboarding when email guarantees are required early on. Doing it every single login (= every new device, every new incognito session, every now and then when the user clears their cache, every time they switch browser, every time they log in from a new computer, etc etc) is insanity, and again, everyone I know who uses magic link has given up on them, or made them extremely optional.

One reason to prefer gojq is that gojq’s author is one of the most knowledgeable person for the original jq (as seen by GitHub PRs and issues), and his gojq fixes many long standing issues in jq.

Plus, for my use cases, gojq runtime performance beats jq by a fair margin.
Manhattan is only 3 miles across and you can find tons of stores and places that aren't just tourist tchotchkes. It sounds like it's wose than Andorra which from most descriptions is a giant parking lot with lots of duty free shopping.
I'd argue baroque music, and particularly Bach's work wasn't merely a tradition and an affect of taste and fashion, it was discovered, and it is still being discovered though statistical and other analysis techniques used on his work today. Bach's work is all about expressions of implied symmetries and forms, and one of the most interesting aspects of it is that you can essentially extend his pieces by writing consistent theorems in them. It's not just harmony it's iterating the rules within the pieces.

Take this example of Alan Mearn's interpretation of BWV 1007, this isn't mere ornamentation, he has filled out an entire exposition of implied counterpoint, where the alberti bass evolves into a completely new voice: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wp98MRKrs2U I'm biased because I think Mearns' new Bach album is the most important interpretation since Gould's Goldberg Variations, and I'm working my way through his sheet music edition, but this idea that Bach's work was an artifact of a time whose importance is diminished by progress is farcical. It's a foundation without which there would be nothing approaching what we know today.

Oh, I should have said that I scan in grayscale, but ScanTailor (at stage 6) makes the output monochrome; that's what the slider is about (it determines the boundary between what will become black and what will become white). So this isn't what I'm missing.

I am not sure if the result is G4-compressed, though. Is there a quick way to tell?
There are ways to mitigate the (although not eliminate) the slowing down of offset/limit pagination in later pages. The technique is called a "deferred join" and it is most effective in MySQL. The basic idea is to paginate as little data as necessary, and then do a self-join to get the rest of the data for a single page.

You can read more about it here: https://aaronfrancis.com/2022/efficient-pagination-using-def... or here https://planetscale.com/blog/fastpage-faster-offset-paginati....

There are libraries for Laravel (https://github.com/hammerstonedev/fast-paginate) and Rails (https://github.com/planetscale/fast_page) as well!

Cursor based pagination is wonderful, but sometimes you're stuck with offset/limit for whatever reason. Might as well make it fast.
LAN parties are fantastic, I did one recently with a few childhood friends as well and they're exactly as fun as they were back then. Playing over the internet is fun but the dynamics of being in the same room is pretty impossible to replace.

Also made much more comfortable by the fact that monitors have gotten flatter. I still have PTSD from carrying CRT monitors around, they felt like they were made out of cement
Also 8 times more expensive.

I taught science for a few years.

> "Teachers ... leave the kids alone." - The Wall

Administrators ... leave the teachers alone.

Many admistrators have no education experience or credentials. The 'experience' of my superintendent was being a colonel in the military. Spent much of his time getting a return on the district's investment funds.

> "It's about the money."

Yep, you get what you pay for.

If only full-time teachers were paid be the hour, like substitude teachers.

I didn't get paid enough to get home at 7pm tired-out with a stack of papers to grade, eat supper and fall asleep instead. "Oh, and we need you to take admissions at the football game Friday night, and to stay afterwards to help count the money."
Yes words can have two meanings, but given the similarity of context between these two meanings, calling this cursor pagination is not a great idea. It screams of someone that didn’t know about database cursors (which is only one implementation method) trying to describe a method for web site pagination. I’m not blaming the author here for this, as they likely know the difference. But for a new developer trying to Google this, it will be very confusing.
A school teacher might explain it to be "The Frickin Article".

Or, and hear me out: we could cut our military budget (which is larger than the next ten or so countries combined, both total and per capita) and start tipping the corporate tax share back towards the ~%50 it was sixty years ago and magically be able to:

* pay teachers a fair wage

* hire enough teachers, assistants, and admins so that teachers don't have to work at least another half a workday 'off the books'

* fund schools well enough that teachers don't have to pay out of pocket for basic supplies like chalk and paper

* feed our children a proper meal at lunch by default, instead of making them pay for a crappy meal (unless their busy parents jump through hoops to prove they're poor enough)

One of the strangest things for me as a private school student coming from the public school system was being able to go into the lunch line, get what food I wanted, as much as I wanted, and not have to pay for it. No worries about losing the lunch money I'd been given, getting beat up for my lunch money, etc.
I had a hard time remembering which is which until I started to mentally append “stage” to it. Stage giver, stage taker - taking the stage, giving the stage.

The author, given the context of improv, seems to have been implicitly using that as the metaphor the entire time but it didn’t stick to me until I thought about it more.

"The Fine Article". Or you can use your imagination to replace 'Fine' with any other F-word.

I think the acronym used to represent the phrase "The F*ing Article", and then, for a softer touch, people changed F to represent 'Fine'.
I think the claim that there are any restrictions on memex is somewhat unusual and is the thing that requires explaination!

Bush's Memex was explained in an essay[1]. There's no intellectual property restrictions around any of the ideas there, and some of the explanations were so rooted in the technology of the day that the idea of restrictions on them doesn't make any sense:

> Most of the memex contents are purchased on microfilm ready for insertion. Books of all sorts, pictures, current periodicals, newspapers, are thus obtained and dropped into place. Business correspondence takes the same path. And there is provision for direct entry. On the top of the memex is a transparent platen. On this are placed longhand notes, photographs, memoranda, all sorts of things. When one is in place, the depression of a lever causes it to be photographed onto the next blank space in a section of the memex film, dry photography being employed.

Even putting aside the microfilm technology, most (all?) of the concepts described in the essay seem freely available.

All I’ll add is that Smith was more “America’s first formally-credentialed Black physician,” since most physicians (in America, at least) didn’t attend medical school at the time; instead, medical schools were seen as an advanced education for tenured medical professionals, which made Smith’s accomplishments all the most striking, I think.

Douglass’ publishing partner Martin Delany, for example, was practicing as a physician in Boston in or around 1830 (IIRC), after having apprenticed under physicians. He would later enroll as one of the first Black doctors at Harvard Medical School, but racism amongst students and professors meant all Black students were expelled before he could graduate, which led to his career as a firebrand abolitionist.
Splitting those into two cases: I think getting rid of format conversions (which can, after all, be performed again) is worthwhile, but isn't deduplication, that's more like pruning.

Multiple versions of an EPUB with slightly different content is exactly the case where a compression algorithm with an attention span, and some metadata to work with can, get the multiple copies down enough in size that there's no point in disposing of the unique parts.
Sovereign authorities also precede the existence of states.

> Well thanks for enlightening me. From now on I will only trust NYT, WSJ, Washington Post, Guardian and BBC - they are the only truthful and accurate sources in the world today.

Well they are all more truthful then the Russian media who believes that Ukraine has genetically modified super soldiers and black magic battalions.

To be fair it doesn’t matter because your source doesn’t even cover anything I said it just tries very hard to justify the genocide of Ukrainians.

I was talking about the Russian armed forces performance in the war not about if it was justified or not(which it isn’t).
Please, put your children in terrible schools out of some sense of social justice or whatever. I myself will do what is actually good for my family.

Not sure if I hit those limits, we were at around 100 nodes and over 170-180 processes. The biggest thing we recognized was tuning the number of recruited proxies and other stateless roles. We were doing up to around 400k tps once we tuned those.
Why not ? I would argue that most teachers provide a more valuable service than most lawyers (For my definition of value atleast). Lawyers have strict licensing requirements while teachers don't, which would be one of the major differences
I've adopted this approach with my own app [0], and there have definitely been some challenges, but ultimately I'm glad I made the decision.

A lot of the tech in the web world is focused around the traditional client <-> server / API model. Building a local first app feels like you're going against the grain in some ways and you're often not able to take advantage of the latest and greatest tech.

In my case I am using PouchDB as a local database, which sync to an instance of CouchDB on the server. I think there is room for improvement with this combo, but for the most part they are a mature, battle tested combo that works really well as an offline first sync solution.

You could also store timestamps as part of the records. Then your query will always be consistent if you add an extra clause of tstamp < query_tstamp. So long as you store both the query_tstamp and the last record, you’ll get consistent results without needing to store individual cursors/snapshots for each user. (You’ll still have more CPU time per query, but that’s kind of a given here).

You probably also need to switch from deleting records to adding an archive bit (or timestamp).

This gets complicated fast.
into it's not about code, it's about predicable and consistent layout so that you can easily diff
Sure, I'm happy to agree that the original design of make is kind of questionable. My point was that an editor which can handle telling you to not mix tabs and spaces in python should also be able to tell you to use tabs in a Makefile. Or, if you prefer, that if python can say "only tabs xor spaces" and be seen as reasonable, then make can say "only tabs" and be equally reasonable.
While I love my OLED TV (LG C8, had it 4 years now) there is one thing I still preferred with my plasma TVs and that is motion. OLED is great but the near instant pixel response means for lower frame rate content such as movies (24p) and most tv shows (25 or 30p) there is stutter. This isn't visible in many scenes but anything with panning and it looks, to me, quite jarring and I dislike it a lot.

This isn't an issue with plasma screens as you get some natural motion blur with the pixel response times giving a smoother overall presentation.

You can somewhat alleviate the stutter on OLEDs using motion processing on low (or using special "cinema" settings on newer models) but it isn't perfect as it introduces slight artifacts which also suck plus the smoothing gives ever-so-slight soap opera effect that wasn't present on plasma screens.

However for gaming that near instant pixel response for 60 or 120fps games is freaking awesome. You really can't beat OLED for a gaming display. Just amazing.

They have a real competitor, yet it’s not a competitive market.

Remember how Microsoft had 95% market share and how they were actively and overtly abusing that position to embrace, extend and extinguish any threats? Everyone was crying antitrust and it never went anywhere. The worst they got was the EU forcing them to put up Windows without Windows Media Player, which then got bought by nobody, and the browser choice pop-up they got rid of after a few years.

If you think anything worse is going to happen to Apple with their 20% market share, or even if you somehow inflate the number to 65%, think again. It’s not going to happen under antitrust law. If anything is going to happen it’s going to be new laws.

Perhaps, but this is true of all subjects: Sports, economics, politics, most hobbies, &c.

On the one hand, this shows the arrogance of the techie: A belief that since we're rather clever in one application of intelligence, we must be clever at all of them, as if intelligence is the ultimate fungible skill.

Intelligence is remarkably handy, and it is a lever: It takes whatever we know and multiplies its value. But it can't do much about fields in which we have little experience. It's simply not possible to have expertise in many fields without actual experience and study in those fields.

But we can't resist assuming that whatever people are talking about, we can derive everything of interest from first principles and not from absorbing a body of knowledge that others have assembled over decades or even centuries.

But let's not demonize ourselves over it. This is a social forum, a kind of digital saloon. And if we visit real-world saloons, we will find armchair political scientists, armchair coaches for every popular sport, armchair police detectives and so forth.

It seems we're just like everyone else, we're just better at sounding articulate when we pontificate upon subjects with which we have little practical experience.
Haven't been there but a walk around most west european capitals will tell you there’s something wrong going on around here. And no one reported back the same negative experience in either of the countries i mentioned, quite the contrary. Also reading stats about their infrastructure, crime rates and quality of life (i.e. life longevity) tell you an interesting story. I am not talking about culture, which needs to he experienced locally, but about how well managed those countries are and thats usually reflected in stats. Seem quite a bit more advanced than what we are used to here.
On top of that, the linked article is simply a press release and not the research paper itself. Papers usually list limitations and such, that's very normal

I couldn't agree more.

There is no evidence here. There is a model of water that apparently does something. Like FIFA22 (the game) is a model of the football (soccer) teams. But the model doesn't mean this can be translated to reality.

And at least with FIFA22 you can check against reality for accuracy!

Certificates seem to be lots of work and complexity, and lots of do-it-yourself. Couldn't that functionality come as part of the OS?

It is fundamental that computers should be able to know whom to trust and whom not.
Yeah I'm pretty sure that was it. They were getting really good classification results with simple statistical methods. Today I suspect someone would have thrown a hybrid CNN-LSTM at it and gotten similar results but no explainability and 100x the processor requirements. "Try the simplest thing that might possibly work".

A few μs for all that work seems high when gps could get you to ns, or adding extra observers could remove the need for prior synchronization. I guess it is a more robust answer at least, in case GPS isn't there and some of the observers got shot already.
The "Rockstar Professors" I know were overhyped.

Some of my best teachers had only a so-so reputation, but were hard workers, curious, and honest and expected as much from their pupils.
> Fetching the data over the network will be slower than fetching it from a local source.

A big aspect of this is data collection. Microsoft office has tons of features that could easily be local buy that it wants to be "connected services" that are subject to their own TOS so they can steal your data. Based on the lag, it seems like all spell and grammar checks go through some server somewhere, almost certainly with the primary goal of scraping as much info as they can from what you're doing. Online first is all about data harvesting, much less so ease of operation and certainty not customer experience.

This leads me to a different path. Some (most?) papers require an almost absurd amount of context; in the extremes, single digit audiences with the knowledge to understand.

Perhaps putting that context into publications would be more effective?
I assumed the "Top Tier" ingredients could be lumped together with other stuff, like ethanol (the street view scene linked in my original question shows a tank labeled thus), octane-boosting additives, detergents and so on. All based on the totally generic "regular gasoline" - two of the giant tanks are labeled that but there are a few tanks further back whose label is not visible.

The pipeline map shows the pipeline terminating pretty much exactly where you can see it coming out of the ground. There are other fuel depots nearby. One assumes secondary pipes to deliver material to them, but I don't know this business at all, so the more people who know do pipe in, the better.

Ah, one of the other fuel depots has some tank labels visible as well, and it does have separate tanks for "regular" and "premium" gas.

That is a fantastic story, thanks for sharing. Really brings me back to long form letters and considered conversations.
Manufacturing costs and margins on LED-LCDs were far better for manufacturers and likely what killed Plasma.

Exploiting this aggressively helped Samsung win market share and become a top TV manufacturer, causing Panasonic and Pioneer to exit the business, and nearly kill off Sony. Their only real competition is on the low end with Vizio, HiSense, TCL, etc.

OLED still can’t match these margins, which is why only LG really makes them in large quantities. Others, including Samsung are dipping into OLED to capture the videophile market but not selling the sheer volume or making huge profits on them.
I thought the radii was a feature because right angles are more difficult to slip into place and tend to splinter more. You're probably right that it's a cost-saving measure though.
