I think the overpolished and analytics-driven media personalities left a vacuum for an authentic voice to fill. Someone would have filled it, and it happened to be Joe. It’s not like someone sufficiently motivated could repeat his success trajectory, part of it is always being in the right place at the right time too.
It can be misleading to pull individual data points on crop performance. US and Canadian wheat and corn crops are doing great this year.
I would prefer if the government were subject to the same laws of nature as reality, yes.
The article points out that LCDs have more lag, but then it states this:

> And if there is scaling involved, there is probably going to be some lag

The lag that's introduced by a scaler is trivial, and measured in microseconds...
I live in a country that hasn't got a lot of radioactive ores suitable for processing into fuel, but has got a lot of wind.

Americans freak out about "hurricane season". You know what we call it in Scotland when we get four weeks of 140mph winds? We call that "January".

Wind turbines work just great here, and they look amazing, especially the offshore ones.
That in response to the growing pro gay rights movement.
How deeply do you go in details with that kind of scope? Do you regularly discuss architecture decision with all these developers, so they're all aware of impact? Do they actually understand impact? How do you actually verify that created solutions comply to architecture? Do you support yourself with solution architects?

Personally I noticed, that there's always something to analyze more in-depth, something to document better, yet another thing to teach others, however other engineers that I work with don't really care about creating coherent view of solutions they create and they don't care about providing clear description/instructions/guidelines for their solutions.

So do you depend on developers to prepare complete solutions and only verify, if they do everything that you would expect or do you actually have to guide them through details and support them in design, so you can together create something that works according to architecture?
the other half of the country (world?) would hate Rogan for having Trump on. imagine if they agreed on anything. imagine if they made each other laugh. the "you're giving a platform for HATE" rhetoric would be deployed in full gear. Rogan would undoubtedly ask tough questions, but no matter what he were to ask, it would never be "tough enough" for many. I'm not a big JRE guy but I would be very interested in watching a Trump episode of the show—however, I think Rogan made the right choice by not opening that can of worms. at least, at this point in time.
You can usually legally anchor just about anywhere offshore (in the continental USA at least); except it's not a good idea to do it in a channel or something.
Meanwhile I've gotten into a lot of very heated arguments with artists who fear this will actively destroy their livelihood. I lean towards seeing these developments as a massive positive for a society as a whole, but I find it hard to ignore that. Most of the flaws you see today will be reduced over the next few months, and people will get better of finding ways of working around them. It will cause substantial upheaval for a lot of people, including job losses especially on the low end. Maybe many, or even all, of those job losses will be compensated with additional jobs elsewhere, but we don't know.
There's a phenomenon known as Polling Drift where the 2x-per-frame input polling at 120 Hz is mismatched with the NTSC framerate that's 0.1% slower, leading to a variable 0-0.5 frame input lag. This can be patched out.

Additionally, they found that there is an extra frame of buffer hanging around that wasn't necessary so that can be removed.

There might be something else too?
33% of the land isn't underwater. A simple view of the flood map makes it clear the headline is exaggerated.
>If enough of us do this with personal websites, more and more people will stop using Chrome and start using Firefox. You don't even have to cut Chrome users off from the content -- just annoy them a little, and suggest Firefox.

It's a nice idea, but your personal website doesn't matter. Most people go to a Google website at least a few times a day, and they already tell you to switch to Chrome for the best experience. And almost all of the top non-Google websites also have a vested interest in less adblockers, so none are going to riot over this.
I'm shocked that the response to this is that people want curation of products, old retail style. Sure lets go back to the days when an HDMI cable cost $30 and things like phone chargers were overpriced.

The better answer is that marketplaces should have to have reasonably consistent return policies. Push the risk back onto them so that it stops the fraudulent products.

Keep the part that lets basically anyone start up a business and attach themselves to the marketplace at what should be the market price. There are plenty of good things coming from these marketplaces.
The neighbor lady toss rocks on your lawn from working in her flower bed. Neighbor kids leave toys, tennis and golf balls and... claw hammers!!!

And don't forget stuck sprinkler heads. Spray paint cans from the local juvenile delinquents... On and on...

And BTW the cats also domesticated the people.
In my opinion "architect" should probably really be the most senior role of people that are doing infrastructure. It can be applied to more specific software engineering roles but it just seems more appropriate considering the infrastructure is what everyone is using as a tool to run their various projects.
There's so much great stuff going on in the cosmoverse that it's hard to keep track of it all! We recently started https://github.com/shmup/awesome-cosmopolitan for that reason.
I am fairly torn on this topic. The statement is mostly an admission that I'm too weak to not personally waste too much time on trite Internet content.

The question I often ask myself: is spending time with this content, while entertaining in the short term, perhaps via the novelty factor, also nourishing in the long term? The answer is, sadly, much more frequently NO than in the time of printed books.

The best I can hope is to be able to use Internet as an encyclopedia for laser-focused lookups. Sadly, I am too often caught in browsing random content only loosely related to the original lookup topic.
Are there places where mice/rats aren't considered a disease vector

All species? I actually don't know. But with 'depending on where you live' I also menat situations like mice entering your unused basement etc.

Anyway: I'm mainly questioning whether 'long vegetation around my house means more chance of rodents in my house' is something general. Also because it's not my experience. Then again I don't live in, say, Australia.
I can't imagine loving a monitor the way I loved my iiyama Vision Master Pro. 1600x1200 at 71Hz driven from a Matrox Millennium (4MB VRAM and no 3D acceleration whatsoever) with soft-edged pixels and no visible grain or mesh. It was by far the best computer-related object I had ever owned. But that would be so impractical now, given its bulk and what else is available.

We actually still have a CRT as our main TV here - a 28" Sony - not for any exciting retro reason but just because we've had it from new and it still works. We have a bigger LCD in another room. We bought that to watch films on, but it was always disappointing for that - it's too clean, it feels as if you're watching the making-of documentary rather than the film itself. So we hardly ever use it and mostly stick with the CRT. It's satisfying to watch, but part of me hopes it'll stop working so we can get the space in the corner back.
I have no evidence to back it, but it felt to me like there was a podcasting boom around 2004-2006, and then I stopped hearing about them until a revival circa 2014, when everyone and their mother was listening to Serial.
Those tools are mature 10-20+ year and we're just getting feedback for our little ol' alpha born ~yesterday. The limitations are temporary -- we are working on an offline, locally runnable experience (it's in the roadmap), but, alas, engineering bandwidth of a 6 person team.

Nothing you posted contradicts what I said. Questioning the vaccine doesn’t mean that he didn’t think it was safe for most people. He even almost got the vaccine if not for a scheduling conflict.

When I said “mainstream” I didn’t mean they were generally accepted. I meant that the issue of gay rights became a topic. Some places like Canada openly legalized gay marriage without much of a protest. Gay rights infection point was definitely in the 90s and only got stronger. It wasn’t like the 80s where gays were openly mocked like in Three’s Company
Yep, basically this $250k is on the exact same terms as $375k of the YC $500K. (The first $125k of YC is for 7%, the next $375 is uncapped mfn.)
I agree with this sentiment, always have, but I always like to probe for issues with it.

When "earning it" takes much more than it used to due to technological shifts or otherwise, the only ones who can afford to walk the path toward mastery are the very well-off. This of course violates the modern western liberal ethos of equality for all, particularly in regards to educational pursuits.

We end up with a McDonald's worker class, their menial profession determined from birth, and their noble masters.

Maybe c'est la vie and there's nothing we should or even can do about it. But it's unpleasant, to say the least, knowing there's an entire class who's destined from birth to perform cheap menial labor their whole lives, without the slightest hope of doing anything else. After all, slavery is necessary for civilization, always has been.
Sort of buried the lede in this one. Seems like the obvious answer is running of red lights, passing between cars or in gaps that feel dangerous to nearby drivers, going slowly such that those behind the rider are forced to drive way below speed limits, etc.

Before I get pounced on, not saying those reasons justify the level of vitriol or the actions of unhinged drivers or pedestrians.

Asking why the level of outrage towards cyclists is so disproportionate to the offenses committed by some cyclists is a good question, asking 'why would anyone ever be mad at bicyclists?' is not.
Do you only sell them on the website or local consignment shops too?
Exactly what my comment I spent way too much time writing was trying to say.

And as you say, people like Terry Gross and Oprah and Diane Sawyer and Mike Wallace and even Howard Stern (who is one of the best ever at interviewing) actually do research ahead of time. And the interviews are far better for it. Having an off the cuff conversation is fine. Having awareness of the person you're going to talk to, familiarity with their work and with what they are about, is even better.

Watching Oprah interview Lance Armstrong remains a master class in the art form and her ability to interview such a wide range of people about so many things is just incredible. Likewise, Terry Gross does what she does so well -- and is one of the best audio journalists of all time, that it's honestly comical for Rogan to even be in the same sentence.
The problem with UBI experiments is that it hasn’t been U. If it’s localized and small scale it’s obviously not Universal, which makes it hard to draw conclusions.
I would love to see modern CRTs but we have to be honest with ourselves about the negative environmental side with their lead components. Perhaps we could build a more environmentally friendly CRT with our processes nowadays.
As a counterpoint, I would suggest looking at Jeff McAffer's CodA project. It defined a group of 7 metaobjects to define the behavior of each object, six of them for message passing and one for accessing state. He couldn't patch the commercial VisualWorks virtual machine and used #doesNotUnderstand: tricks to make his prototype work. It wasn't fast, but showed that the semantics were correct. Here are the message passing metaobjects he defined:

- Send: prepares a message to be sent and negotiates with the receiver

- Accept: negotiates with the sender

- Queue: can save accepted messages to be handled later

- Receive: deals with queued messages

- Protocol: can associated the selector in a message with executable code

- Execution: knows how to used system resources to actually do what the message asked

The default metaobjects are 100% compatible with Smalltalk-80 base level code but his thesis show several interesting alternatives.
I agree with you. One “what if” possibility that I think about from time to time is an open source community back in the 1990s rallying behind an OS built from Smalltalk or a language environment offering similar capabilities such as Self or Common Lisp. I figure a Pentium or PowerPC personal computer from circa 1994 should have enough power to drive an entire ecosystem of applications around Smalltalk, especially with the compiler and virtual machine innovations the Stanford/Sun researchers working on Self made. The environment’s introspection and metaprogramming capabilities would have resulted in a highly flexible, extensible system, but with a simpler and cleaner design than contemporary Windows and Unix desktops, which have many layers of complexity.

Recently I’ve thought about making a Smalltalk- or Common Lisp-based operating system with the features you mentioned, but I ended up changing direction when dealing with the problem of interoperability among different languages. As appealing as Smalltalk and Common Lisp are, many people prefer different languages, and unfortunately different languages have different semantics, making interoperability difficult. I prefer a protocol-based approach to interoperability. I’m right now experimenting with Plan 9, an operating system designed by many of the same people who worked on Unix at Bell Labs, and seeing how I can implement reflection and metaprogramming through Plan 9’s “everything is a file” facilities, and also how I can take advantage of the 9P protocol to enable component-based software design. Some more of my ideas can be found at www.mallowos.com.
Walmart is *endorsing* any subcontractor.

I literally do not care what back-end contractor of theirs is doing.

My transaction is conducted on walmart.com , my credit card transaction goes to a walmart account, and my credit card bill shows a walmart line-item.

This "redirecting responsibility" to somewhere else is the fraudulent grift going on there. Walmart wants to put their name on transactions? Make them live with the repercussions dealing with fraud. (Same goes for any online retailer that has a primary presence, and intertwines back end contractors or 3rd party sellers.)

Exceptions are for ebay and etsy, since it is blatantly clear that individuals open their own shop and ebay/etsy only provide a basic framework.
arg! this is so true. You still have the same personal power you did with your own computer... but if you want to traverse through Real-Life, you get charged and surveilled. the home computer had no security, but running network lines through reality opens us up to all kinds of threats. the more isolated we were from the world, the safer.
That sounds really similar to subpixel rendering as used in AMOLED displays and their diamond/pentile subpixel arrangements.

I found a demo online illustrating this

Just imagine - you could write your own script of a series and have it realistically generated, especially cartoons, complete with voice acting. Popular generated Spongebob episodes could form canonical entries in the mind of the general public - after some information fallout, original episodes couldn't be even told apart. Postmodern pastiche will accelerate and will become total.

That's 1/6.

Unless you use instanced rendering via some GPU API it's going to take some galaxy brain code to make that work.

Yes, please someone get him a woman, christ a lawyer, something, someone to review his podcast! We can't allow someone to simply speak their mind, think of what might happen if people got the hang of that!

The amount of authoritarianism in this comment is staggering
Yikes more bad news. Not to mention everything we are seeing and we've barely begun the 2020's. Not looking good.
The length given to strnlen() is, as you yourself said, greater than the size of the actual buffer in order to detect an oversize source. So strnlen() has the potential to access the character beyond the end of the array, checking it for NUL, incurring page faults and whatnot.
I would guess that many Amazon fulfillment employees did not feel they had options when seeking employment.

Think of GPT-3 raw output as a markov chain operating on paragraphs and contexts instead of tokens. You can't write a coherent short story with it without your own "inpainting".

My main experience with jre recently was watching his interview with Robert Lazar. Lazar has considerable reputation in the UFO community and is a fraud and a criminal (convicted pimp and sanctioned for selling illegal poisons through his chemical supply operation).

One of the thing about Rogan's interview with Lazar is he fails to ask the obvious questions - such as "what are your credentials". 'Cause with Lazar, that question already takes you to dubious territory since Lazar's answer is "I have a PhD but MIT erased my records" (and his thesis advisor went along with this?).

And this kind of left a nasty taste in my mouth concerning Rogan. Sure, his questions might be just naive but it seems more likely he's using that naive pose to avoid the mine fields of the guests he likes.

I love Josh's writeups. His CSS for JS devs course is also fantastic for folks who want to get better at CSS.
Of course not. What are you implying? I have great affinity for the legs of snitches. They're very nice legs, and I certainly wouldn't want to see anything to happen to them.
A subpixel on an LCD can only have a single brightness value across its whole area. The dots or stripes on an CRT have no such restriction, they are effectively little monochromatic pictures themselves.

Don't think of those dots as fundamental elements of the image, the CRT doesn't address them and doesn't care about their shape. They are really just a color filter on top of the three greyscale images projected by the electron gun. The shadow mask ensures that each of those three electron streams land on the right color.

There are quite a few collections of free html and css templates. I found this one using "free css templates" on a search engine. [1] I don't personally use these and instead just use a very simple layout for my blog site that was from an example with a vulgar name sometimes linked here. "Thebest#$@#(%^website" so I won't link to it but you can probably find them.

All I can say is that I've been using Android for well over a decade now, and not once have I seen malware that hijacked volume buttons. It might actually be a permission the app has to request - I don't remember.

Either way, this was meant as an illustration of how small factors can affect decisions. I have had an iPhone as my primary phone for a few months, and this one thing was the single biggest issue I had with it at the end of the day - not that there weren't others, and some were actually more annoying when they happen, but this one is at the top because it's something that's constantly in my face. Thus, I'm not going to buy another iPhone for this reason alone; my response to "you're holding it wrong" is "you're making them wrong".
The problem I have with his stuff is that he used to be a lot more self deprecating in his humour. It made the show more casual - he took him self less seriously - and there was more comedy overall. Now that he seems to take himself so much more seriously it seems like he is just following the money in terms of what content he knows will be popular vs just having interesting guests on his show to have a discussion.
That sounds a bit more equity for less money than YC or other prominent programs. https://www.ycombinator.com/deal/

This is an excellent and concise video on the subject. It's while since I've had to bore precision holes and ages since I was taught how to do so, so it was an excellent refresher course.

Its comments on measurement and metrology are particularly strong and well worth listening to.

On that point, I wouldn't use calipers to measure the ID of a precision hole but I'd almost forgotten that scaling error requires the ID jaws of calipers to be a thou or so smaller than the OD ones. Stands to reason when you think about it. Raising that issue shows how useful this video is, it shows that its authors pay careful attention to detail.

Similarly so, their comment in respect of plug gauges and the trouble in differentiating between them during hole measurements due to burrs etc. (I'm a bit obsessive about deburring workpieces properly and I get pissed off when I see others failing to do so - so this comment rang bells with me.)

I'd strongly recommend this video to just about everyone in the machining game.
