Yeah that's why I love living in Vancouver. You never need a car if you live remotely close to downtown... if you live downtown-ish you basically just walk everywhere or bike. It's so great. Back in my country I was all the time in car traffic...
35 specific filter rules doesn't sound "easy" to most people. I'd probably have about 50 addresses I'd treat that way too.
I'm not sure what country you are in. In the US, I believe the Q3 still always comes with a torque-converter automatic. A quick search seems to show lots of people on enthusiast boards complaining about the shift programming on the current generation. But, also lots of contradictory reports. It makes me think it is a UX issue where the programming works for some operators' "pedal language" and not others.

We have an older generation Q3, which replaced a slightly smaller car that had a manual transmission and similar turbo 4-cylinder engine. I was a little bitter about this marital compromise in the very beginning, but learned how the car behaves and have no problems today. I only use the "manual" gear selection for speed control on steep grades. To me, it can provide smoother acceleration than I ever got in 30 years of driving manuals. It shifts quicker and with more continuous power delivery compared to any manual operation I've achieved or witnessed as a passenger. The change is learning to anticipate and speak to the car with the throttle instead of anticipating and speaking with the clutch pedal and stick.

For fleet efficiency reasons, these modern automatics will prefer high gears and also use clutches to lock-out the torque converter and avoid slippage. Combine that with fuel saving coasting modes and you can potentially reach states where a small turbo engine is at low RPM with low boost pressure and a high gearing load. If you want to accelerate right then, all these bad conditions need to be reversed through a kick-down procedure, and you maximize the feeling of a delayed surge in acceleration.

It's not the same transmission as the current generation Q3, but one thing I've noticed is that there is a slight risk of this sort of stuttering/slow take off when braking to a low speed without stopping. If I am at a complete stop with brake pedal depressed, the starts are very predictable. But braking into a turn lane or driveway gets the car into its most hesitant state if I try to accelerate back out of this slow roll.

As college expenses go, textbooks were less than 1% of my costs attending a public university as a state resident. The industry may be just as parasitic but I don't think it would appreciably help reduce college expenses.
Sometimes when I get a letter which is for previous residents, I used to sharpie the address, and drop it back in mailbox, it will again appear in my Informed Delivery, there I learned this barcode & cover it too. Just last week a letter from IRS had this code two times, and I covered only one, I missed the other one.

I think I'd take an automatic if it gave me significantly more on-the-fly control over the behavior of the gearbox. Sure, day-to-day, I want to be driving at maximum fuel economy on city streets and relatively slow highways, but other times I'm taking my car out for a spin in the mountains where I want to maximize my power output by spinning up to 7500 revs, engine break to take hairpin turns at speed, and other irresponsible fun.

All the automatics I've driven in seem to at best have a "best fuel economy" mode, a "sport" mode that doesn't even get close to pushing the engine to red-line, and an up-down shifter that lags too much for a downhill-into-a-tight outside-turn-into-an-uphill type scenario.

> Musk was butthurt and lashed out. That does not equal "completely deranged individual"

Lashed out in a way where, given his influence, he could easily ruin the person's life. Which is bad in and of itself. But he did it while the man was actively involved in trying to save a dozen children from immediate death. And then doubled down later.

That is deranged.
That episode they were shooting directly into a swimming pool, and I think the close-to-max velocity of the bullet caused them to disintegrate.

Or in other words, I wouldn’t assume that bullets impacting water at lower velocities would behave the same.

Fwiw, I don’t remember them using a 50 cal. The amount of energy in a 50BMG compared to even a 30 cal round is ridiculously huge, and IMO would have risked damaging the pool.
Can someone explain what we are looking at? Perhaps a simple point by point explanation of what was done, what the expected behavior is and what we observe instead?

Do I understand correctly that these are the events that happened:

* septicmk forked v6d-io/v6d to septicmk/v6d

* septicmk created a pull request from septicmk/v6d:main to v6d-io/v6d:main

* septicmk merged
sighingnow's commit 61f3741 to septicmk/v6d:main (perhaps while updating their fork?)

* GitHub says septicmk merged commit 61f3741 to septicmk/v6d:main?

If so is that not right? They did merge a commit in their fork at septicmk/v6d:main, didn't they?

Does GitHub say anywhere that they merged commit to v6d-io/v6d:main? That would be very interesting and a real issue!

I agree the big "Merged" button on top of the pull request is very misleading, perhaps a UX bug! But no unauthorized merge actually happened here, did it?
Oohhh wow
Such investment should never be in the hands of unaccountable, black box organizations.
Astrology is vastly more sophisticated than where the sun was when you were born, contrary to popular understanding. It is a system that has been intricately developed over thousands of years, akin to a very ancient computer program with rules that could fill thousands of books. Some rules are more important than others and thus rise into popular culture (eg, sun sign astrology); that is not real astrology, but rather a single facet of the craft which is typically used incorrectly.

Without the time of birth one can say very little, because the time of birth configures all of the 12 houses of the chart. The houses reflect ones experience in material reality. The sun in the 1st house in Libra is vastly different than the sun in the 12th house in Libra, to use a simplistic example.

But yes, a careful analysis of a natal chart that includes an accurate birth time and place of birth would very precisely determine someones personality. It could also determine the personalities of the parents, indicate the nature of partners and friends, health, the home and work environment and just about anything else you can think of. Not in precise specific detail (though one _can_ get specific), but thematically. And further, one can project this chart forward through time to determine future events involving said themes, also with great accuracy.

Unfortunately however, the weakest link in astrology is the astrologer, as has been said time and again. It requires extraordinary skill and learning gained through years of study, like any technical craft.
IIRC Google began with a DARPA grant but they were not directly funded by In-Q-Tel. However, In-Q-Tel invested in a different company that Google acquired which was the basis for Google Earth and through that acquisition In-Q-Tel gained shares in Google.

It's not 40ms of added latency. The chart can't be used like that. I agree 40ms would feel incredibly laggy, like 20fps laggy. That's not how GFN feels, it's perfectly smooth, more smooth than native hardware. Just look at any video of people moving around in gfn. Here's a random one I found. https://youtu.be/q-Fzkp-az9Q?t=154

The chart really only says it's more smooth than native hardware. Like think about it, if you're comparing 16.6ms to 100+ then the game would be running at like 1fps and is completely useless. Come on that's obviously not what it is.

The reason we don't call it "entertainment" is because we're embarrassed to admit that it's all entertainment.

If the "content" isn't entertainment, it often has no ads and is referred to via another name.
I disagree, I would rather the second option.

In my opinion its far more damaging to allow sites like youtube to become so influencial in public life yet wield the power to censor anyone they don't like.

I believe that social media should be tightly bound by the constitution so that they may not overstep the rights of the people.

They shouldn't be allowed to ban viewpoints they don't like.

They shouldn't be allowed to unreasonably collect and use data, nor come up with agreements that allow the use of important data.

Quite simply I would rather trust a government that at occasionally follows the rules than near despot oligarchs who never do.

Not sure what asynchronous means in this context -- sounds like freelancing.

If you can add value and solve business problems effectively then you can do most programming/IT jobs remotely and on your own schedule. Some jobs require on-site presence (system admin for a data center, for example). I have worked at freelance programming and system admin (cloud servers) for over a decade while traveling all over the world, for quite a few US-based companies. My customers have business problems to solve, they don't care where I do it from or what hours I keep.

When selling yourself to a customer (or employer) you have to persuade them that you can add value and solve problems. You don't want to start the discussion making demands about your work habits. Focus on what they need you to do, not where or when or how you will do it. Don't filter potential jobs by "remote," almost all jobs in this field can work remotely for the right person, meaning a person who solves problems and doesn't create headaches for the customer/employer.

In my experience, listening to my customers and keeping them informed gives me a significant advantage. Domain expertise helps a lot -- understanding the business requirements and needs so you deliver what your customer wants. The most common complaint I hear from my customers: The last developer, freelancer, or outsourcing shop didn't communicate. That means answering emails, Slack messages, phone calls right away so your customer (or employer) doesn't think you disappeared.

Cloud server infrastructure/administration lends itself to remote work. I do a lot of that.

Programming also lends itself to remote work on my own schedule. I specialize in working on abandoned and legacy code bases -- meaning the original developers left or no longer answer emails and calls from the customer. Most of that work involves web sites and databases.

If your language has to interoperate with data in the SQL database, it right away has to deal with SQL's limitations and oddities:

1) SQL's type model has no concept of nested relations or rich datatypes; it's limited to basic scalar types <tho there are vendor additions to this>, so implementing e.g. Date's concept of "relation valued attributes" <essentially tables-in-tables> for example would be impractical

2) SQL's storage model doesn't map 1:1 with e.g. a relational model because SQL tables are bags instead of sets (duplicate rows are possible). This has a couple downsides. a) whatever more expressive and relational algebraic language you built would have to inherit that model and and have some way of dealing with bags instead of proper relational ranges <which are sets> and b) the presence of the possibility of dupes actually makes some query planner optimizations impossible to perform. <CJ Date goes into more depth explaining this, I don't have room for it here>

3) Likewise similar problems with SQL NULLs. NULLs are not in the "pure" relational model, so your language can't be pure. NULLs mess with the type system, and you end up inheriting a bunch of the weird casting/identity/comparison issues that come with NULLS. And NULLs, again mess with the query planner.

Finally, the execution model of SQL is always against a DBMS table or view. So in-memory relations, etc. look difficult to implement.

That won't be enough to fool anyone. Anyone who has dealt with foreign csr and local (American) csr knows the difference is night and day. Foreign csr basically just read a script and never deviate. If you ask a question that isn't on their script, they're lost.
> Or, maybe this is just a new “fad” for juvenile orcas that could go out of fashion as they grow up, Jared Towers, director of Canadian research organization Bay Cetology, tells NPR. In the 1990s, scientists observed another strange orca trend, but it has since faded away.

(OK, so maybe you have to have grown up in a rural area, 50 years ago to know that tipping over the small outdoor toilets called outhouses was a favorite low key vandalism for bored adolescent males, but ...)

Agreed. My point was that the reason you can finance such high-density construction in Tokyo (and New York) is exactly because so many people want to live there, which in turn is because of the network effects created by the people who do live there. It's a virtuous cycle, if you can get it.
Tilikum weighed over 12,000 pounds. Orcas have bite forces apparently estimated to be around to be at least 20,000 psi (13 times that of a jaguar), can launch themselves tens of feet out of the water, can ram great whites and whales to disorient or knock them out, and more. It's honestly surprising the injuries weren't worse and showcases the orca was frustrated.

MBAs have destroyed the US/Europe. How? Outsourcing all the jobs/manufacturing to China. This caused so many knock on effects. Some include an angry unemployed population electing Trump/other populists, the west being caught with its pants down during COVID when things we needed could not be obtained from China...many others as well.

Then subsequently after all the manufacturing jobs were outsourced the next thing to be outsourced was R&D(to suppliers). For example: Car companies shutting down one division after another and just relying on suppliers. Ford used to have in house seat development, their own metallurgical teams etc. All of it outsourced to suppliers who are trying to spread out their costs so everyone gets the bare minimum because all of the fundamental tooling is reused for every customer. The MBA dream was to outsource everything including manufacturing and just stick a badge on the finished car at the end.

It is a cancer that has permeated a lot of western business(so many MBA grads have to go somewhere right? They ended up at almost every company regardless of industry)

We are finally starting to swing back to pre-MBA. Tesla for example was criticized heavily for doing things like bringing seat manufacturing in house. They understood that everything a user touches and feels should be in house profound knowledge and I believe it is benefiting them in terms of customer satisfaction. Furthermore material science knowledge sharing with SpaceX is very exciting to see and will hopefully increase innovation in the industry.

Its not only Tesla, small business is turning the ship around as well. Another example is Origin USA. They wanted to bring back jiu jitsu gis manufacturing but discovered that most industrial looms were rusting away or shipped overseas. They found one loom in Maine and pulled the old guys who knew how to run it out of retirement to help teach a new young generation to slowly start bringing that experience and capability back into the US.

A lot of profound knowledge has been lost. People forget that technology and what we enjoy does not magically come out of nowhere. It requires sustained effort and on the ground knowledge that has to be maintained or it will be lost.

As far as I know, they have issues if those apps download external code and then execute (which makes entire classes of applications impossible).

However, I know of at least one application where all the game logic was built with Gambit Scheme. The scheme code was compiled to C and then embedded. One could theoretically open a remote REPL over the network and issue commands, but that feature was disabled before release.

Is that an 'execution environment' or 'interpreter'? The binary contains both.
"Ask yourself at the darkest hour of the night: must I write? If your answer is yes, then you should redesign your life to align with this necessity."

This is really great practical advice. Decide what you must do. Remove the roadblocks and optimize to achieve your goal.

"You’re looking outside of yourself for the answers, and that’s the last place you’ll find them. The only way for you to move forward is to move inward."

If I can only find answers internally, then why the hell would I listen to you now? What if my internal voice tells me the only answers come from outside?

"Do not strive to uncover all of the answers right now. The answers can’t be given to you because you haven’t been able to live with them. What matters is to live everything. So live the questions for now. Perhaps then you will gradually, without noticing it, live your way into the answers, one distant day in the future."

So, "Wherever you go, there you are".
