Aluminum is no panacea - its expensive to mine both ecologically and energy wise, and its energy intensive to recycle.
I'd be more interested in reusable containers.
That's pretty standard. The usual argument is that if you are in a situation where you need to pull the trigger, you're not in a situation to risk the other person getting back up. Once you start shooting, you don't stop until the threat is gone. In addition, you aim for center of mass as your accuracy takes a nosedive in a life-or-death situation. You're not likely to hit your target trying to aim for anything else. Even if you are super-duper accurate even under duress, there's really no place to hit a person that isn't potentially life threatening. If you want non-lethal self-defence, a gun isn't what you should reach for.
I mean I mostly agree with you, Guanciale is always going to be pork jowl. But cured sausages... a little less specific generally in terms of what primals/cuts you might source from... and at least in america where the primary touchpoint for bologna is oscar myer .. at that point it's more 'big hotdog' than anything.

One drawback of aluminum is that it still has to be lined with plastic, which is burned off before recycling the aluminum. The plastic also leeches into food.
It is already happening. Management responsibilities are being automated. For example, DAOs: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decentralized_autonomous_organ...

A machine is not just its "management responsibilities". A machine is all of its parts. By shifting, I mean that some of the "parts" were people and are now automated or rely on robots.

Does it really make sense to say that a machine is not having its parts changed because its "management system" has remained the same?
This leaves me with conflicting emotions. I don't know where the easiest place to find the actual explanation of the change is (not very familiar with Debian development practices) but I wonder if it clears things up.
Thanks for your kind words! We're all virtualization users ourselves so I definitely get what you mean - we started this project because we wanted to help people to get access to the magic at home using the hardware they already have! I will say though that Nvidia has done a lot towards improving their support for open source. While it might be a bit of an uncommon take in my view many of the folks who probably are most passionate about bringing exciting GPU technology to the world work at Nvidia. :)
Ah, okay. I understand now.

Yes, that can happen, but from my experience it is rare; Also because this is focused on learning the language I can give hints/affordances like the word, or definition, in their native language, so all user needs to do is produce the word in the target language and conjugation.
I'm not familiar with Ecto, dplyr, or DBT, but I would love an ML-like language to replace SQL. I'm imagining being able to pass a table (or any table-oriented data, like a sub-query) to functions that would type-check columns and would return table-oriented or scalar data. I'm not sure if this is actually possible in practice, but one can dream.

For instance, a "top 10" function that could be re-used on any table (apologies for my pseudo types and code):

selectTop10 : Column -> Table -> Table
selectTop10 orderByColumn table =
SQL.selectAllFrom table
|> orderDescBy orderByColumn
|> limit 10

limit : Int -> Table -> Table
limit n rows =
SQL.limitBy n rows

orderDescBy : Column -> Table -> Table
orderDescBy orderByColumn rows =
SQL.orderBy [orderByColumn] SQL.Ordering.Desc rows

What are the odds it gets shut down? I'm reluctant to get too excited until it's more certain (of course I'll wait to celebrate until it's reflected in my balance, but just knowing it's a relatively sure thing would take a huge load off my mind).
I'd be starting a new game from scratch since my last few game dev forays have been Unity so not having mobile support at launch is a non-factor for me (and mind you I dunno how crazy making cross compat games between PC and mobile even is so I may not care for a good while).

Appreciate pointing to it being pulled into master though, increases my likelyhood of trying Godot again as I've been working in dotnet 6 more and more on personal stuff of late!
How would it not make a difference? If you calculate an index at runtime, to get access to the element, in 0 based would be pointer + index. In 1 based it is however pointer + index - 1 clearly there is an extra subtraction there?

I am an engineer that works on hydro control systems - It's worth noting that a hydro turbine, depending on it's construction, has a certain turndown ratio - That ratio of it's full scale output to it's minimum output. At the turn of the century designers of these turbines did not particularly care about operating at a lot of different power output levels, they cared about maximizing power output at a particular point, and importantly, maximizing efficiency at that point. These units typically have a turndown ratio very close to one. Consequently many hydro turbines are capable of a relatively narrow operating range, and are not suitable for fast grid support of the type that would be required as the primary source of solar backup. They're on-off type resources in many cases. These turbines can be retrofitted to variable geometry style turbines with much wider operating bands but these upgrades are slow and expensive.

Long story short - hydro is good as a 'base load' but we desperately need storage. Pumped storage, battery storage, compression storage. And we need massive transmission system upgrades (in the US at least). Nothing else will lead to a reliable grid based on renewables in the US.
Yes, this is true. Although my experience with ORMs is that there is always a reason to use some kind of escape hatch to run raw SQL directly.

Excited to launch Data Validator - First of it's kind tool that checks the AI readiness of your data and recommends fixes, so you spend more time building models and less time in data prep.
I was going to say, this is a really terrific manual. Yes, many people will be better served watching a video (especially if they are new to repairs, and if that’s the case, I personally don’t recommend starting your DIY repair journey on a current-gen Apple laptop, but that’s just me), and many of the iFixit guides are quite good, but this service manual is comprehensive, well-written and easy to follow.

I also read the 162-page thing, along with a claim you had to read that just to replace the battery. And that’s not the case? The entire manual is 162 pages, not just the instructions for relaxing the top case and battery.

Yes, I think it’s insane that you (right now) have to replace the entire top case to replace the battery. It’s genuinely absurd. Apple says they’ll sell the batteries separately at some point, so that’s good. But that’s still insane.

That said, I’m not really here for exaggerations about what is an incredibly well-written manual. It’s not like this is going to cut into iFixit’s guide or tool business because I don’t see Apple trying to game the SEO for MacBook repair guide; Apple would rather you take your MacBook to an Apple Store.
At the age that cardinal and ordinal numbers are taught, kids simply don't remember "cardinal" and "ordinal", they remember "one, two, three" and "first, second, third".

99% of the instances I've seen "ordinal" outside of this thread has been in code/documentation. It is not a common word in everyday language.
Hmm, interesting. I tried Vultr a few months ago and had a number of issues, wonder if that was related. Is it common for a provider to only give out v6?

The reason for that is because of high natural gas prices. And the reason that increases overall prices is because they are treated as a single purchase so renewable sources (who are obviously well aware of gas prices) push their prices up to match.

This is so obviously a bad idea that even the CEO of a major energy firm has suggested the purchase market be split between renewable and fossil, so there are effectively two markets, and everyone can take advantage of cheap renewable prices.

You should learn about this stuff rather than parroting the nuclear fanbook.

Most of the companies I've tried to opt-out from either don't recognize their obligations (you're not a 'customer' even though we're collecting your data), don't have a way to opt out short of contacting a legal department that has no public contact info, or failed to actually resolve the issue.

I can only recall one case where I succeeded, in a couple dozen attempts.
To be honest, no service is either too big or too small to run their own DNS. Any company with DNS issues that can't be temporarily fixed by reverting to a pre-issues config until they can address things is doing things quite poorly.

I don't use Heroku, but this trend of people and businesses taking no direct responsibility for critical services is a bad one, and I'd skip any business I could that does this.
I hope that Twitter security chiefs have the oomph that it takes to require changes to be made.

>>Encouraging people to just live somewhere else because they can no longer afford the home they've owned for decades undermines the entire premise of home ownership

Who is to blame that you stagnated financially all these years and the place you lived increased in value? You could sell the property you own and move somewhere else(cheaper) "living like a millionare". Chances are that if you are too poor to afford tax on the property you own or the places around (i.e restaurants surely got more expensive too) then you don't fell like you belong there anymore. You find the place hostile. Your friends may have moved as well or now they are too rich to hang out with you. If you don't want to get into this situation you should either make sure you have enough money when you retire or plan your retirement somewhere else or just consider that buying a property in the world's biggest financial center doesn't mean you will afford it forever. Change is part of life. Also consider that when you purchased your house you increased the value of the properties around and forced some people to move somewhere elese too. It's the circle of life, survival of the fittest.
>Why don't we all just quit the tip-toeing and cut to the heart of each interaction?

I get your point. I don't "like" Corpspeak, but working in the public sector in IT infrastructure, I like indirect language which doesn't presuppose "finger-pointing". I don't want to hear anyone snap or get emotional on a Zoom meeting on a DNS resolver upgrade event at 4am.

In most English discussion, the bias is in favor of "who did what", which has its place. When troubleshooting with people, the indirect Corpspeak makes it easier to talk about "what's happening" and "what is needed". I want to focus on the fact or "the what" that packets are being dropped, because I know all the engineers I'm talking to are also focused on "the what".

Any ideas you have about the President having to follow any sort of official process regarding classification are nothing but illusions. The most you're going to get here is he's irresponsible in a way people don't like but is not criminal.

Even if I were to imagine he were technically breaking the law with some of these documents, look at it from a practical standpoint. At one point he could've done whatever he wanted to with any documents, including tweeting them publicly. He may or may not have taken some sensitive information and stored it in a building wholly owned (secured) by the secret service. There is not really any risk here, any crimes would be mere technicalities.

Of all the crimes every President in my lifetime has committed, including Trump, mishandling some secret documents in this way is a total nothingburger. It's almost certainly not a crime and even if it is a crime it's a paperwork technicality crime.
'Consumers' consume whatever is given, it seems. With the exception of the phys kb, each of those omissions lead directly to more control & revenue for the producer(s). Cheaper to build, as well.

That's an interesting point I hadn't considered before. That said, I would think the net effect is still increased demand on the grid. If everyone buys an EV, I can't imagine that constitutes a net reduction in demand on the grid even if everyone charges off-peak (unless utilities can pull storage from those car batteries during peak hours, and I doubt car owners will want that kind of wear on their batteries). Do you know of any publications which try to estimate the effect of electrification on capacity?
Yea. I lived in Brooklyn, NY for many years, and definitely experienced aggressive driving there, too. Often times, the offenders would complain that the bike lanes were new and bicyclists were guilty of gentrifying the neighborhood. Now I live in Virginia, and it's usually huge trucks or SUV's with Trump stickers that tend to be the most aggressive.

Anti-cycling sentiment seems to be one area where the "both sides" argument has at least a hint of truth to it.

I’ve worked at both, and the quality of engineers is about the same. The general caliber is higher than I’ve encountered elsewhere, but there’s still variation.

I think what you’re seeing is more likely UI design decisions, or performance gates on other factors. E.g someone at each company probably decided the amount of time a given animation/interaction should take, browser page loading is for most sites dominated by networking traffic, etc - nothing gated by CPU time.

At the same time there are also large hardware differences, android devices still tend to have something like 2x the ram of idevices, as well as more cores, which means what is needed to make multitasking responsive is different.

But you also need to realize that you should not notice that in terms of responsiveness - in all likelihood none of the devices are coming close to using all the available cpu time for any interaction - simply because the closer you get to pegging the cpu the closer you are to hitting some kind of perceptible stuttering.

Finally, you’re ignoring battery life - one of the reasons for having a fast cpu is the ability to return to idle, because for whatever reason and cpu that takes X% longer to get back to idle uses potentially much more than X% more power.

So a lot of things are involved here that mean that a simple “this harder is better but the UI performance feels the same” is not going to tell you who has the better engineers.

That I don't know. Apparently they're using a 2003 act, along with the current pandemic, to bypass the need for congressional approval, so it may just be impossible to kill, especially now that it's been announced everywhere. But I'm no politician, so there could be more factors at play that could stop it before the disbursements.
Yep. I am getting pretty good support communications on this issue in heroku support tickets (you are not?), but the fact that they haven't actually made a public announcement about it is pretty unforgiveable.

Last I heard from support, they thought the issue you are running into with backup restores would be solved maybe in the next week or two... but there is no public place to look for status or resolution, I just need to keep asking support, apparently. There are workarounds, that is there are ways to restore from those backups if you really need to... but it's confusing. Some more info here:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Heroku/comments/wgkjdf/heroku_ext_c...

Anyway, still being in the middle of dealing with this when the DNS issue happened... my opinion of heroku is definitely dropping fast... but it started out so high it's gonna take it a while to hit the ground and smash into pieces.
Thanks!

If I understood your explanation and schema correctly, a mutation itself is balanced, and if you have a transaction that involves three accounts, that would be split up into two balanced mutations, right?

The advantage I see with this design is that a mutation (and thus a transaction) is always balanced (you store the amount only once, and credit account and a debit account).

The disadvantages seem to be that the transaction itself doesn't explicitly list the total changes to an account explicitly, and that for each account you have to join the mutations twice (once for the credit side, once for the debit side) to get to re-calculate the current amount.

Storing both the current balance in the account means you cannot have concurrent updates to one account, so you must rely on row-level locking for consistency. (Which sounds a bit like a potential bottleneck, if you have something like a company-wide Cash account that is involved in lots of transactions, as in the ModernTreasury blog post).

Does that seem like a fair summary to you? Are there other trade-offs you have noticed?

One could make the same case about humans, nobody works in a vacuum. Even though he used it in a pejorative sense, Sir Isaac Newton, the famous English scientist, once said, “If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.”

That humans are capable of developing their own style could still be argued that it's just a intermixing of previous work that they've seen, but they've combined it in a different way, which effectively is exactly what these generative systems do.
