>Guess which one of those collaborations covers my salary? I love working with the environmental team but if that was the only income I'd have to leave a long time ago. If you want engineers to slow down and smell the roses, you'll find most would love to. You'd better have a way to support them though, because if they can't pay for their house while doing it you won't have many takers.[…]

This is a terribly shortsighted view. Environment is what supports us.

When sea levels rise because humanity as a whole has made a series of short sighted decisions with disastrous consequences, our little houses would have helped nail the final mail on coffin of humanity.
I bet you're a pip at parties.
Unfortunately that's not what it is.

If you hover the mouse over the image you will see the actual prompt - which is a human, Christian, interpretation of the verse, not the actual verse.

I am disappointed.

(I say Christian because no Jew would ever give that prompt for "Expulsion from Eden".)
saying Q can't use N designs isn't quite the same as A demanding those designs be destroyed.

although you can make a contract for (almost) anything, it's surprising to me that N would agree that A could forbid use of N designs. the most friendly and reasonable terms would be A demanding to be paid as much as N paid (or would have paid) for the IP in those designs. even renegotiating modestly to reflect Q's different role in the market.

it's the virality that's surprising here. even though N designs must have different from A's IP, A demands to destroy it?

Q should demand to audit A's IP to ensure that A has destroyed any benefit they got from the collaboration with N.
The question is, will these discs have decent shelf life?
I love wera too, their tool check plus stuff is so portable and so versatile. I keep a set in each of my vehicles and a set in the house (that solves 99% of my tool needs, I break out my big tool box maybe once a year at home now that I have this).
> You end up getting a lot of noise and making sense of what you hear is difficult. When you keep probing you will get to hear stuff thats not really critical and just often made up because you ask too many questions.

Yeah, but this just means qualitative data is challenging, not that it's useless. You have to be careful when asking questions that you're asking useful questions and not leading people into telling you what they think you want to hear (or going off on useless rabbit trails like what they think the product should be instead of what the problem they want the product to solve is).
It really is a question of preference. Kids are awesome, but that is not to say that one can’t be happy without them. I firmly believe that no one should have kids if they don’t really want to. There are enough of us. We will need to reproduce, but not everyone has to. Contraceptives are a blessing and they should be freely available to anyone that wants them.

I find it difficult to put this in a precise statement.

At the same time, for me, kids and a partner who wouldn’t take my BS, where the push for me to get my stuff together. Otherwise I might have been one of those cardiacs arrest cases due to drug overuse.

That’s why I’m happily living with a family.

So, after getting sober at the end of my twenties, cleaning up things in my thirties (getting stable employment as a self taught, career changing web dev) and stopping to be a product of circumstances (thanks therapy) and my kids being old enough to have deeper conversations with (they are in the middle of their school age) I am now looking forward to actively design and realize the life I am living.
Let's not forget that these policies fostered the development of encryption in Canada, Australia and other countries (See SSLEay for example).
So it ended up being counter-productive.
The simplest way to stop competition is to subsidize a product. In this case, offer the tools openly.
Having not been a meetup admin, what access do you have for user's information? Is it just their meetup profiles, or do you actively have their email addresses?

Also, you said two things interesting: "profiles of our old podcast producer meetup group", and then "without my input or opting in".

You used both "our" and "my". Do you see it as your group, or a group of people who have come together and could keep it going without you?
There are many open source models like GPT-3, the problem is that you need a GPU cluster if you want to run something yourself that has similar performance to GPT-3.
To be fair to Germany, only there can one import Russian gas at scale, take out all the genocide and terrorism using very precise custom designed filters and export it back to Poland or Ukraine as freedom gas.

Germany did end up getting a rather bad rap though, which is why I think Russia decided to help out by cutting gas deliveries.

Kagi has been worth the money for me. It's got a lot of room for improvement, but compared to DDG (which I like) it's given me everything I could ask for. I don't like the subscription business model most of the time, especially for software, but in this case there is a definable cost associated with me using the product, so it makes sense.
Ready or not, mass video deepfakes are coming
The first "alternative" song I heard back in the 80's was Watusi Rodeo by Guadalcanal Diary out of Marietta. That song really struck a nerve with me and really guided my young music tastes.
In total I used anoraks for about 2 decades by now and probably won't anymore, for exactly the reason you mention: none of them were really convenient to get on and off, and if they were sort of convenient then it was because they were somewhat too big. In the end I just liked the single frontpocket (warm for your hands) and look.

And most of what seems like advantages are actually that: in comparison with a decent jacket with zipper it's not more windproof, nor more waterproof (zippers+flaps have been figured out for a long time), nor did I find them easier to pack. Even though the latter should be true in theory I cannot say it ever bothered me, and I have the impression that what makes a jacket hard to pack is wrong technique and mainly how thick the fabric is, zippers shouldn't play any roll (pun intended - the roll up just fine). Anoraks could be lighter though.
Meanwhile California mandates that only EVs can be sold by 2035 for new cars without any real tangible energy policy to meet demand for power.
Yup. Both US and Canada are good fits for mass transit. The Bos-NYC-Phil-Was-(Rich-Raleigh-Atlanta?) corridor represents around 30% of the US population (well over 100 million for those counting).

The distance between those US cities represents maybe less than half the high speed rail network in France but easily almost double the French population.
This is what attracted us to plan to move to Portugal. I could get something similar (from a geography/density perspective) in the rural US, but the people, cultural, amenities, and costs would not be what you described.

When I transition from tech, I hope to spend my time building affordable housing in Portugal and Spain.

Being argument driven gives control to the organization's 'lawyers'. People can be very persuasive independent of the reality of the situation.
Nothing other than you need comfort for a night time situation where you want to stay focused.
Austria. In Vienna, for example, 44% of the rental stock is public housing.
I'm really surprised how much a single search query is costing them in terms of compute/infrastructure (1.25 US cents). That buys you more than a minute of compute time on the top vps on hetzner.
What's happening behind the scenes during a query?

Getting the compute costs down will probably be a major obstacle to growth, since they'll have to keep prices high (19 USD/month) to pay for their infrastructure.
There's the law and then there is etiquette. They do not necessarily match up. In this case the law is a lower limit, and you may face social counter-action: a person standing to block your camera, angry words, etc.
Haha. Alonso would never play second fiddle.
I mean, from what I can see, it covers the redpill PUA stuff and the regular advice. It's basically saying "if you want to date shallow women interested only in your appearance, do X; if you want to date short-term based on shared interests, do Y; if you want a long-term relationship, do Z" — where some of the things below those split-offs happen to converge back together, due to e.g. the economics of attention in marketplaces like online dating; and the fact that "women at nightclubs" aren't one coherent group with shared goals but actually several independent groups that different men might want to meet for different reasons.

Of course, the phrasing is dumb as hell.
Exploring ideas like panpsychism doesn't mean you're committing to them being true. We can't know everything, and we can't always link new ideas deductively to things we are certain about, but we can notice the inadequacy of current explanations, say "suppose this explanation is true" and proceed from there. Every good philosopher knows that they're doing that. And the fact that people defend their position and attack opposing views is just part of the adversarial process for testing ideas. Yeah, of course ego and pride and hubris happen to many philosophers, and the academic profession is frankly in a bad state, but that doesn't mean the fundamental approach is bad.
I think that's just a scaling issue, fundamentally there's no reason why a model trained on video couldn't come to create coherent motion in the same way that image models can now product coherent lighting/themes.

Smaller image models had the same problems with logical inconsistency just because they didn't have sufficient general understanding of how visual concepts.

The same is almost certainly true of video - early smaller models will likely create janky movements/motion, however once they've seen enough video to understand how a person walks, how a scene is framed etc.. there's no reason we couldn't get to the same level of maturity as today's image models.

I think the real issue will come from labelling - most video is only going to be labelled simply with basic info/captions without detailed descriptions of the camera pan, movement of subjects. The amount of text required to accurately describe a scene is much larger than a still image and I'm not sure how once would go about collecting this.
San Francisco solved it with homeless camps and effectively decriminalizing theft under $950.
Low salaries for security engineers as well....
Don’t teach kids to fear the world
4-9 PM extends to about an hour after sunset this time of year. I suppose it technically involves a bit of night, but that does not overlap at all with the normal electric car charging window (midnight to 6 AM).
> they're advocating for a one-state solution so that inhabitants of Palestine/Israel can get democratic representation & equal rights. Again, not a crazy take.

This is roughly like advocating for ending the Russian-Ukrainian conflict by advocating for a one-state solution where the inhabitants can get democratic representation & equal rights.
Would be nice to have! What is the current state of the art for packaging RPMs for those distros?

Is it the SQL dialect there lacking or is it the built-in functions?

I agree that SQLite default functionality is very thin compared to PostgreSQL - especially with respect to things like date manipulation - but you can extend it with more SQL functions (and table-valued functions) very easily.
it sounds more like ARM wants to quash any leakage, and keep fingers in every possible ARM-arch pie. that's pretty much the opposite of wanting to promote RISC-V...
THIS. But be mature, diverse, and kinda picky about what organizations you volunteer for, in what roles, and how much. Be especially wary of bringing your day job technical skills & attitude to a volunteer organization. (The food bank is far, far more likely to need food and reliable food handlers than it is to need you building a fancy new AWS-hosted web site & database for them.)
Once upon a time it used to work for Youtube, but break the adverts. Halcyon days.
I'm very doubtful that part's true. If you have your full name on your profile then sure, the new organizer will have access to it (as they did when they weren't the organizer). Meetup wants you to message people through their app, so I very much doubt they give away a bunch of email addresses willingly. I think perhaps what's meant is that the new organizer gets the ability to send group messages, which get emailed to people.

Edit / possible U-turn: There's a post from Symbiote below that suggests maybe they do let organizers pay to get more data.
You're absolutely right! Nice article - thanks for sharing
Thermal clothing is probably going to be your highest ROI if you're unironically looking for methods to keep warm this winter while spending less.
The combination of lazy evaluation and state mutation/side effects can be pretty difficult to reason about. For example, if you have a function that changes a global variable as a part of a lazy computation, once that function could have been called you have no way of knowing if or when that global variable will change in the future. If you have other functions that depend on the value of that variable, their future behavior is now much more challenging to reason about than in a strict language. You can also imagine something akin to a race condition in which there are multiple lazy computations which could eventually set that variable to different values and the actual sequence of state transitions depends entirely on the dependency order of a possibly unrelated piece of code. In practice, this means that in languages that are strict by default, lazy computations are often forced to run in order to reason about the code, rather than because the actual results of the computation are required.

Since pure functions compute the same results under lazy or strict evaluation and require that any data dependencies they have are explicitly provided as inputs, they interact with lazy computations in a much more tractable way. This means that adding a strictness operator to a lazy language is much easier than adding a laziness operator a a strict language.

An alternate approach is what python did with generators where there is a data type for lazy computation, but it lives apart from the rest of the language, so it is mostly used for e.g. stream processing where a default-lazy approach is conceptually straightforward and is less likely to lead to extremely non-trivial control flow. This approach does, however, basically give up on having a laziness operator that will turn a strict computation into a lazy one.
Then say so. It's basic communication skills. He just blinked when I said that.
Of course, all those people can live 50 miles away and commute in and out every day...
Free money solutionism's finally dying, dude. Better learn to solve actual problems instead of problematizing what you can barely do.

Hi, I'm Christian! My team leverages years of experience in back-end software engineering, team leadership, and project management to deliver API and cloud development solutions. We've worked with engineering teams across multiple domains, and we're more than happy to assist in developing, deploying, and maintaining applications. We'd love to hear from you.
The two are very different technologies. In AFS, the fundamental unit of sharding is the volume, each volume is controlled by a single volser, and the "master" (i.e. vldb) is responsible for resolving volume IDs to the set of volsers that hold a copy (at most one of which is read/write)

In GFS, on the other hand, individual files are sharded between servers on a chunk level (where 1 block==64MiB IIRC). To access a file's contents, you would contact the master, ask it for the chunkservers for a file, and it would tell you which set of chunkservers were responsible for each chunk in the file; you'd then contact the chunkserver to access the data.

The impact of this is that the latency of accessing a file was much higher on GFS; you needed to go through the master (which tended to be a bottleneck) to get the metadata, and then establish a new connection with authorization to each chunkserver to access the data. However, because each file was stored by multiple machines and the data location was independent of the position in the hierarchy, there was very little risk of chunkservers limiting the transfer speed.

With AFS, on the other hand, the master is much less of a bottleneck as it's only used when mounting volumes. Further, once a volume is mounted, accessing files and data within those files could be done in a single round trip. However, if you have a volume with high write traffic, that will end up bottlenecking on a single server's IO speed.
>most of them built a pile of crap and/or damaged the places they built in and the people they nominally built for

Some examples from that time period: leaded gasoline, CFCs, shock therapy, suburban sprawl
Simplicity is almost always best, but the hardest part is pushing back on management and product that often only care whether feature requests are possible and aren't as concerned with what goes on under the hood.
Okay, true. But which employer is going to use this to check up on new hires?
There's a few businesses that I think are running into a wall pretty quick now and I think they have the same key flaw, they didn't run their businesses with the appropriate level of rigour in the good times and now they aren't in good shape in the bad times. We can add Klarna to the likes of Bird Scooters and Coinbase.
Yeah after reading some of the Wera reviews on Amazon.ca I think I'll stick with my Klein.
I'm an admin/owner for a Meetup group.

I think the only thing I can see that other members can't is:

1 Number of RSVPs
2 List of meetups attended
3 No-shows
4 Last visit to the Meetup page
5 Whether they are blocked from the group

Except for 3 and 5, the information is all available on pages visible to members anyway, though you'd need to page through all the past events to aggregate it.

I do see a box "Get to know your members — With the Pro registration form, you can get key attendee details like email address and job title". I wonder where job title comes from, I certainly haven't provided that to Meetup. I'd also like there to be a way to hide my email address from Pro group owners, but I can't see one. Possibly I don't see the setting as I'm not a member of any Pro groups.
Helping others solve their own problems doesn't keep your home warm, or food affordable. This isn't about helping Ukraine, it's about dealing with the aftermath of closing nuclear power, building not one but two natural gas pipelines to Russia, not prioritizing energy efficiency like insulation and heat pumps, and so on. Even before Putin went full crazy climate change was supposed to be a serious crisis.

Edit: I forgot an important point. I don't have anything against exporting power to our neighbors. My issue is that we have to pay the expensive power prices set by the expensive export. Our power hasn't suddenly become 5X-10X more expensive to produce, if we could keep our usual price and sell the surplus to other countries at the prices they want to pay I wouldn't mind it.
Thus, if you're an average-looking man, your odds of getting messages are actually greater than they are for an average-looking woman.

Untrue. If you're an average-looking man your share of female-to-male messages is greater than an average-looking woman's share of male-to-female messages. The woman is still getting a far larger number of messages.
Tourists / foreigners buying houses i guess, although i predict that in the coming 10-20 years we'll be seeing mediterraneans escaping the summer heat in the north.
I was a bit after your time, but the old Athens food too! I didn't appreciate how exceptional (and cheap!) it was.

Wilson's Soul Food, Taco Stand, Mexicali, Peppino's, Last Resort, Inoko Express

There used to be a place next to the 40 Watt. X-Ray Cafe? I remember hanging out with poor bands post-show, because they had a grilled-cheese with tomato for $2.50 or so.

By the mid to late 90s, it was more Widespread Panic, Drive-By Truckers, and Of Montreal, as REM had already graduated to super-stardom.

The WP outdoor free concert (in the middle of downtown!) in '98 was something else. 100k happy people.

they are afraid to lose advertising money. That's why they removed all the NSFW subs from the frontpage in the first place and moved from forum-alike, into blog-9gag alike shitty format.
9 nuclear power plants, at ~5 GWh/y apiece (45,000 GWh/y combined) would barely cover the estimated power requirements of the 2035 electric car plans (around 43,000 GWh/y). 45,000 GWh/y is also less than half of the power CA imports.

43,000 GWh/y = 15m cars * .24 KWh/m * 12,000 annual miles

.24 KWh/m is for the latest Tesla 3 cars.

5GWh/y is from https://www.americangeosciences.org/critical-issues/faq/how-...

What are the good arguments ?

Do you think the “global elite” is invading Portugal ?
I don't personally know him, but we went to the same school for a while. A brief memory I have of him is that he once showed up for some event with an umbrella attached to this head, like a hat of sorts. If my memory serves me the umbrella was multi-colored and he was accompanied by his girlfriend.
I think there needs to be some sort of a middle ground. Maybe the organizer can call a vote, and if a certain quorum is met the community can be dissolved.
Meetup burned the bridge very badly for me. They got super greedy with their monetization and then moved their model to charge based on the number of members yet their site created or tolerated hundreds/thousands of fake accounts impossible to curate without detrimental to the group enforcement.when raising the issue their responses were basically "good luck" or "sorry, but were just going to be shit to everyone equally. Also, we're increasing prices for the third time."
Electric cars are primarily charged at off-peak times and so even with a full transition to electric (which is decades away) peak usage would only increase slightly.
