Yep, I've been using the Kinesis Advantage for two decades and it's still the best one out there IMO.
I'll just leave this here to stoke the flames of nostalgia:

How do you explain the big cats doing it. There hardly is a selection pressure like that in those.
It's definitely acqui-hire, too. That makes sense! Thanks for the perspective. I'm just wondering what arguments to bring to these types of conversations.
What's wrong with it?

It turns out that graphics hardware is perfect for certain kinds of non-graphical scientific computing. Dedicated GPGPU hardware already exists, but people don't have those at home and/or on their regular computers that they use.
>The distortion itself is the message. It conveys the fact that technology now enables banks and governments to do what they do with unprecedented scale and speed. It tells us that interest rates cannot be trusted to guide investment decisions because they should not be trusted. By "not making sense," interest rates tell investors not to rely on them.

The acceleration of interest rate manipulation/interference to the point of full breakdown as a meaningful indicator of market participant time preferences.

It's a good thought but I'm left needing a "10 WAYS TO PROFIT FROM MARKET UNCERTAINTY" tweetstorm.
I’m just going to add that it looks like this is some kind of Slack hasslebot dystopia. They want all conversations in public so they can data mine them?

Depending on the dosage, the user's reaction to it, and what kind you psychedelic you're taking, it's very possible for people to end up tripping so hard that they think they're fighting for they're life, but they're actually attacking random people in the street.

I'm curious to see how often these events happen as more areas decriminalize it.
Mike Magee was co founder of the Register and established its style. He left in 2001, and the Register has been declining ever since.
Pfft. You don't know about:

You’re right.

I used to work at a company building software that competed directly with SAP products. The IT people in our customers’ organizations were the hardest people to convince to adopt our software. The end users loved our stuff because it allowed anyone at the factory to build forms and share data. But the IT folks would always get in the way.

“Nobody got fired for choosing SAP.”

Competing with them is super hard because of that.
What would a fair default option be?
You're correct and shouldn't be downvoted for it. Diversity in general is pretty wide in the fandom. We have a much higher percentage of LGBTQ+ people here, because we do accept those people.

Furries on the whole are accepting and welcoming. For people who have faced discrimination in one form or another, the fandom is a place where one can belong and simply be who they are.
Isn’t receiving hundreds of millions a year a sustainable business?

I did not realize currency trade was constrained to your sensibilities; my bad. Private property, free markets! Until two parties enter into an arrangement then you demand they open themselves to business with others?
Everything, good or bad, regresses to the mean.
SAP, and many competing products from companies such as Oracle, are frameworks and programming languages, although not very good ones, sold to customers as if they were applications. You need just as many people to "customize" (actually 'program') after you convert to SAP, as they needed before, but now they have the illusion of using a standard application.
I do believe that we are doomed as mass extinction is now inevitable. I also believe that PTB will launch wars of depopulation to ‘thin the herd’, as it were…for survival of the species.

We can’t fight the planet. We quadrupled our population in just one century. Should have invested in anti ageing tech, reproductive technology and controlled our consumption/population. Point of no return now.
Inflation would get pretty ridiculous if the poorest individuals, a group of newborns, were all worth $5M each. But interest rates will increase right along with the increase in inflation. But as I wasn't arguing about inflation, it is beyond my argument. Regardless, everyone will be wealthier; it's not as though more money will make them poorer, if that is what you are suggesting.
Is that a fork of the same closed source code base?

Or is it a new project designed to be backwards compatible?

This sounds reasonable but mountain lions and many other types of non-domesticated cats still purr (https://parks.sccgov.org/plan-your-visit/park-programs-event...). You might be right that domesticated cats have evolved behavioral traits to purr more than their undomesticated counterparts, but I doubt the trait itself is linked to domestication since it still exists in the wild.

Scaling Cribl from “Nobody Cares” Through “Preemptive VC Funding Rounds”
> In nature plants aren't CO2 limited, typically they are either nutrient, light, or usually water limited; and the warming planet is exacerbating water distribution issues

Plants actually require extra water when CO2 levels are low, such as they are currently, which is why we see so much desertification of the planet.

High CO2 levels reduce plants need for water, reducing desertification

There’s a brand out of Denver called Elevation Ketchup that is fantastic! I would strongly suggest people check it out.
I think I know what you mean. He has quite an arrogant streak and is amusingly dismissive of large swathes of people (“the Basques are so dour!”). It’s worth persevering with, imo.
Are there any documents supporting this? I ask because I am curious what official documents exist around this idea of mandated return to inefficiency -- there must've been a gain elsewhere (or is that too optimistic)? Plus there must be costs documented associated with the first and second program. Genuinely curious about this type of decision (call it "inefficiency thrash"?).
I can do what OP was describing on inhale and exhale, and I have a small amount of didgeridoo experience, but I don't think circular breathing works here. Mind you, I'm not GOOD at circular breathing, but my understanding is that it works by using the cheeks to force air through the lips as you are inhaling.

The purring sound here though comes from too far back to make that work, I can't get air to pass through that part.
A lot of people died 8000 years ago as well.

Anybody who says that the Earth has been this hot before and survived is technically correct, but they should look at this map and consider the implications:

First of all, this property is elevated. It’s clearly not sitting at 5 feet of elevation. Second, $12m is peanuts for a former president.
SpaceX as well. I believe they both use the same internal system that Tesla built.
>Why is SAP successful? Because the general purpose tools (or worse, amalgamations of multiple single-purpose tools) that came before were absolute shit, and SAP is instead only difficult to use.

The people who are hurt by it are not the people deciding to buy it.

SAP looks great for Csuite executives when it produces reports. For an engineer trying to enter their hours it's an hours long torture session every two weeks.
Perhaps, but the happiest people I've ever met where from Caribbean or Mediterranean islands. Can hardly recall meeting many happy Scandinavians, and I've lived a large chunk of my life in Scandinavian countries.
I don't think ServiceNow does ERP?
> The coupon rate is fixed at the time of issuance, but the principal is adjusted periodically based on changes in the Consumer Price Index (CPI), the most commonly used measure of inflation. When the CPI rises, the principal is adjusted upward; if the index falls, the principal is adjusted downwards.[16] The adjustments to the principal increase interest income when the CPI rises, thus protecting the holder's purchasing power. [1]

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Treasury_securit...

Well, since houses are deliberately kept out of CPI, it systematically underestimates housing cost increases and thus the increasing prices of a big chunk of actual living costs.

Not a good basis for "protecting the holder's purchasing power".

I'd guess this is also one important reason why not basically everybody is simply buying these TIPS with their long term savings.
Otherwise it'd be kind of a magical way to keep your buying power. Just too good to be true.
Yea, this is where I like the amazon model of ownership. It’s something like:

SDE I - can work on clearly defined components of a project assigned to them

SDE II - can work on an ambiguous project with multiple components lead by a technical strategy

SDE III - lead influence and define strategy for ambiguous projects across multiple teams

This person is operating at an SDE II level but is being managed at an SDE I level...it’s time for a promotion. What’s worse is the manager is micromanaging the engineers. Instead the employee needs to be given more ambiguous project level work that aligns with the team/product strategy where they can define their own tasks. Also the manager should consider falling back from managing at the task level, instead helping facilitate at the project (or “story”) level. The fact that the manager is managing at a task level and is unable to find work for this engineer tells me that the team doesn’t have a strong tech lead who is familiar with the team/product strategy and can help mentor/lead other engineers.

In terms of retaining the engineer and making them less insecure about their role, when the manager gives the team member more insight into the team’s strategy and the way that the manager is evaluating their work it helps team members feel more secure in their role. A lot of the anxiety comes from guessing what your manager is thinking and how you are being evaluated and shows a lack of communication between manager and team on strategy, values and performance evaluation. The manager should consider holding weekly 1:1s focusing on these topics.
$ has a looot of gotchas, under some conditions, the reactivity climps up the dependency tree. E.g. https://github.com/sveltejs/svelte/issues/4933

I used to use "$" like useEffect, but now I don't know how to use it anymore

And Svelte still bites my intuitions when dealing with complex objects, most of the times I've manage solve it by separating the code into multiple components, but it's not clear why that happens
My biggest frustration as a small business. Each month you need to deep dive in website of every service you use to find your invoice. Big company like Facebook and Google need 20 click to find your invoice. No way to automate this. I dream about a standard or a service that just collect all invoice on your google drive/dropbox.
>was mostly received as unpleasant.
By this, do you mean the role ended up unpleasant to you?
Climate change might actually increase amount of arable land, by millions of acres, in higher latitudes: Sweden, Finland, Greenland, Canada, etc. It will also increase total rainfall. https://phys.org/news/2018-05-climate-arable.html

Yes, it won't be seamless, but we can adjust to new conditions.
Apparently, they wanted to use Twitter as a distribution platform. I'm not sure how that would work.

Netflix was already a big deal in 2016, it seems a much better choice than Twitter.

I'm not sure if fake users and nastiness on Twitter was the real issue, but maybe simply that it wasn't a solution to their problem.

> If climate change is is going to be a civilization-ending force, why would someone who ought to be well-informed sink a large amount of wealth into an at-risk property?

If it is going to be a civilization-ending force, wealth won't matter and all properties (and even the very concept of “property”) are at risk.

Your question makes more sense if the conditional is changed to “if climate change is going to have little effect on society at large but severe, highly localized effects... ”
From the beginning of the article:

> Problem: The modern world contains abundant food, screens, advertisements practically weaponized to influence you, endless games and drugs.

> Solution: To combat these inhuman forces you must summon inhuman willpower: Master fasting, meditation, discipline, etc.

The HTML formatting suggests that this is a quote from some stoic philosophy source, which it isn't; the quotes themselves are also not found anywhere on the Internet. Seems it's the author's own musings (EDIT: it is, quote: "so please indulge a summary") posing to be some sort of truth, which then is used to justify the rest of the article.
I wonder why there is no such practice of selling as any other product or part of it?
I agree, El Reg is a shadow of its former self.

There has been a decline in quality with obvious errors caused by poor research or rushed publishing. There has been an increase in sponsored copy, and also a marked hardening of its already notorious Apple bashing.

There have also been a number of occasions where they've simply missed reporting on important topics altogether.

Also on their forums, there has been a decline in quality of contributions. For a while it still used to be worth going to El Reg just to read the forums, but even that is becoming increasingly pointless.
I purr pretty well for a 40 year old man. My cats always nuzzle my neck whenever I start purring. Cats are amazing creatures. We have two dogs and two cats.

Watching our cats interact with our baby when we brought him home was a beautiful thing. The dogs were very curious and would lay beside his crib each night but the cats would actually try to help us.

They would alert us whenever the baby cried or became fussy. Now that he’s 3 years old, the cats follow him around everywhere and they will come upstairs to the master bedroom to tell us when he wakes during the night and each morning. They’ll meow at us until we go downstairs. Of course we have monitors and motion sensors and such but it’s cute watching the cats communicate.

It’s the complete opposite of what I learned as a child watching “Lady and the Tramp.”
Bitcoin is also upgradable, it wouldn't be hard to convince miners to accept a hardfork to save their mining investments and holdings by switching to safe algorithms.

It is also much more reactive in this regard than most of the banking and other cryptography-dependant sectors (think major encrypted protocols) which also rely on many of the encryption that you suggest would be broken... not sure Bitcoin will be the main worry at that point.

Obviously if we are talking about SHA256 being broken then miners will lose on the mining equiment. I'm still not sure Bitcoin would disappear, but it would be catastophic... and not just for Bitcoin as suggested above.
No, it’s not, and writing VM configuration as a Turing-complete program means you can’t perform structured queries over all the VMs you manage without executing arbitrary code, and you can’t make bulk modification at all.

At least, not without restricting yourself to a tractable subset like dependabot does.
The version of "ask" in that sentence actually means "tell".

Not setting clear boundaries about what you expect from employees is unfair, have some kind of agreement on number of days in the office, SLA for how long in advance a meeting needs to be booked for you to make it in office or whatever suits the companies needs.

Failing to make a clear decision on this is unfairly punitive for people expecting to live their life in a way which they chose. Those people who are brave enough can interpret it as it's fine to buy a house far from the office. More conservative people will have to stay within the commuter belt.

At least in the UK/Europe I imagine that it's not going to be long before someone ends up in court claiming constructive dismissal because an employer suddenly decided they had to work in a particular office.
I agree sugar is bad, cancer reseracher Lew Cantley has written very clearly scientifically about how High-fructose corn syrup is very bad supported with a lot of mechanistic data.

I also agree health is largely a result of lifestyle choices for most-- it is what we can control.

I can't even begin to contemplating support of many of your other statements.
i wish you health and peace of mind.
The only way to offset carbon emissions at this stage is that a lot of people will have to die, bringing demand and consumption down dramatically.

A war, famine, or general economic collapse (or all of the above) on a very large scale would technically solve this.

This is what I believe policy makers and corporations think, and of course, none of them are saying that quiet part out loud.
I mean there is no art there. There is art, there is angst, in OG punk songs, and the music helps. There is no art in Bukowski's poems. His line breaks are all over the place, he's cynical and bitter, and ... that's it. That's all there is to his writing. There's no nuance, no feeling, no nothing.

At least punk songs have some kind of emotional resonance, or at the very least a good hook, you know?

I guess what I'm saying is that every Bukowski poem I've read reads like one I wrote in seventh grade.

no, CVMFS is secure. clients have to somehow be provided a repo's key, but every chunk is signed by that key and validated by the client. so intermediate repos (stratum 1) are not security concerns, for instance.

CVMFS specifically exists for the purpose of delivering data securely to isolated VMs - that is, not assuming any site infrastructure like shared filesystems in a cluster. since it's trying to minimize the need for hosting site cooperation, it also normally uses http (not https, etc).
Am I missing something, or is this basically "copy this into your terminal" followed by "oh look, it did something"?
I guess most convincing would be, for example, to stop manufacturing new phones every year. It's hard to believe that climate change is that bad if biggest companies still produce most environmental damaging products and people enjoy to buying it. I would call it "pure hypocrisy".

Who could possibly believe that climate change is problem, when new cars, phones, houses, etc. are still manufactured and there are ton's of ads for buying it.
Maybe I should read more Bukowski. Have you any recommendations?
It's a gradual reimplementation whilst using some of the pre-compiled 5.666 exe / dll (how much depends on the build being used) with the end goal for WACUP to not require the 5.666 files, be plug-in compatible & it's own thing.

I believe WebGL compute shader development has been halted[1], in favor of making WebGPU happen. Though it's possible to run it in dev builds in some cases, I'm pretty sure there's no browser that has it on by default, and likely this won't happen.

Apple does support WebGL2, but compute shader support is not part of that core spec. The demos[2] certainly don't work in Safari in my quick test.

I'm one of those employees and it just makes my life miserable. To the point I want to quit.

It's been one year of this BS and it's clear no one cares or listens to our complains, so we just pretend to work and execs are angry because of KPIs, clients complain, etc.

But seriously, we can't do it anymore. Their idea is that with this new software everything will be taken care automatically and so they won't have to educate employees anymore and technical knowledge will no longer be needed, and we'll become you regular brainless contact center but magically better because we have such good software!

I hope I can get out soon.
I've been under the impression that patreon makes a bunch of their cash from people selling nudes (and perhaps owes their brand popularity to the groups of nude sellers that were using them) and that stripe refuses to deal with anyone that does nudes (?)

I think of money as being a messaging protocol for trust. When the government lowers interest rates it benefits asset holders first because the rest of the economy has not realized that their money is worth less (see the Cantillon effect https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Cantillon).

The risk alone from a company switching ERP systems, or switching versions of the same ERP, is well documented in the press. Companies have lost tens to hundreds of millions on failed projects. So the pain points to switch to another platform must be so great even to think about going down this road. Like all ERP software, cost to implement is 2x - 3x the cost of the software.

Larry Ellison had a famous quote from some Oracle ERP event where he chucked every Oracle ERP consultant under the buss by saying: "It doesn't do everything you want, but it does everything your business needs". He was referring to custom workflows business take on which require massive customizations of ERP platforms, increased consulting costs and a painfully hard upgrade process.
