This doesn't appear to be infinite scrolling. I can scroll to the bottom of the list with Cmd-Down. It just appears you're lazily rendering results.

N.b. it's incredibly slow, because it has to load every batch above the scroll position first. Try going to the bottom of the page and seeing how long it takes for results to render.
Great job, thank you! Installed it at once and trying to use. Was not obvious how to reply at first glance, but I managed in a couple of minutes)

Please consider adding some kind of comment's depth indicator. My most frequent action on long threads is "stop reading the rest and move to next top-level comment". If previous top level comment is beyond top of the screen - I just scroll down looking for minimal indent. With your centered design it is impossible. A thin line by the left side of text column wuld be enough, or you may go further and add some dots or pictograms on the left of each comment. Just a suggestion.

It does. Reviews of Garmin's GPSMap 66sr which was the first one with dual band, are really good. Especially in tough tracking situations.

Time to First Fix is also better.
I mentally avoid a bunch of American newspapers because every article I see from them could be about a dozen people on social media. The New York Times is especially guilty of this.

A dozen people tweet that they're moving somewhere, and suddenly "X are moving in droves to Y".

A dozen people stop doing something, and suddenly it's "the death of X".

A dozen people do something dumb and suddenly it's "we need to stop X" or "we need to talk about X" like it's 30 percent of the population.
Those are not hidden subsidies of o&g, they are services demanded by the tax payers. They may have started as a subsidy a very long time ago but haven't been for a very long time because the average person can recognize how useful they are and demand they be built. Demand is slowly changing as people realize infrastructure needs to be designed to be human centric with roads still being a vital but secondary part of the transportation infrastructure and as that changes politicians will start changing what they fund eventually or risk not being elected. It is not right to say it is a subsidy to car manufacturers that car manufacturers should be paying for.
I suppose the authors assumed the reader is familiar with the benefits of the serverless model.

When running functions as a service, you don't have to administer the OS, you just request the computation, provide an input event, and wait for the results to be computed.

If you use EC2 you need to handle the work submission, the scaling and registration of the workers, and the security and life-cycle of the OS yourself.

It seems to me they didn't get all the benefits of serverless, because they had to write thier own custom workload management code. But probably it would still be simpler than managing the workload across thousands of EC2 instances.
...it seems I also jumped to conclusions, I shouldn't have assumed the negative meaning of that phrase. My mistake, sorry about that.
As you age, the rewards you get from social conformity become less and less important because your social role starts to be squeezed in general. Pop culture stops catering to you as much, you are less likely to multiply intimate partners or discover new friends or change your circle to a great extent, though obviously this is a vague trend and there are tons of exceptions to this.

From your own perspective, you have less of an interest in pursuing entirely new projects because the horizon of good experiences from those gets shorter, and as you have said you also gravitate more experience towards the things you have pursued, which unlocks other experiences on its own.

Orson Scott Card once said that Asimov was one of the few writers who kept improving in old age, because most others would fall into the trap of indulging in their eccentricity and assuming that the image people had of them was already set in stone.

I'd say it's helpful to always keep a slight distance, even from things that become increasingly foundational to your life. True bitterness comes when you cease to believe that new generations are actually capable of enjoying their things the same way you did yours in your youth. As long as you don't lose your capacity for theory of mind or refuse to believe that time goes on, you'll be fine.

In my line of work it's the Annual Book of ASTM Standards.

In particular the handful of volumes that pertain to my established laboratory & field work, as well as possible aspirational efforts.

It can really pay to keep up to date.

Also, the text/content of all the standards are the work of volunteer technical people, who come to complete consensus before the well-paid journalist professionals at the nonprofit publisher send it to press.

ASTM may contain some of the most statistically documented laboratory procedures for repeatabiliy & reproducibility compared to what you normally find.

A lot of the books people have commented on have been influential in the past and do stand on their own today.

Well even though outdated ASTM standards may have limited value, one real offsetting benefit is the past experience of using them in previous years when they were current and some standards were less fully developed.

So if you think about it, the current year's publication is a snapshot, the majority of your collection from previous years is huge by comparison, and ends up proportionally more helpful on the whole, even though somewhat outdated or even obsolete.

And these books are hefty, they weigh kilos per year and cost the big bucks.

Not really worth it either unless you're really ready to dip deeply into the unique type of bureaucracy associated with these type of efforts.

But it gets much worse, you think ASTM books are boring, how about the Federal Register?

There's another ongoing publication where the bureaucracy is so thick, someone can specialize so highly at navigating it that they can more effectively win bids without any technical qualifications compared to actual practicioners, most of whom don't stand a chance on merit alone. Not for me, but if you're aiming for Uncle Sam's pocketbook you need to up your game here.

I guess there are a lot of other books which might inspire people to take some action of their own, or even build a business around. Not always ones that are intended to be inspirational either.

Some people think Buckminster Fuller was inspirational, one of my handful of books when I had a shelf is Earth, Inc.

Title sounds almost like the name of a business or something:

While Dieselgate was certainly a scandal, it was more significant as an example (now known to be one of many) of cheating than as an act of NOx pollution. The NOx standard for an average heavy-duty truck/bus allows (by my math) 3.8x more NOx per hour than VWs were emitting before the scandal and subsequent fixes. There are more heavy-duty trucks and busses (16 million) on the roads today in the USA than there were non-conforming TDI engines sold in the entire world (11 million), and the trucks run many more hours per day.

I'm not trying to diminish the severity of VW lying to the public, but we shouldn't hold Dieselgate up as a unique (or even particularly egregious) act of pollution.

The calculus may be different for Europe, but they still have 6 million trucks and busses on the roads.
It mainly 'cares' that every country in the world has the same economic system as itself and if they don't, the US will indeed take care of that.

I feel like this is guaranteed to happen because everyone involved in the decision making can make a lot of money from it very easily. Easy to get caught insider-trading when it's shares and there's a broker, but buying up proof-of-stake currencies? This is a zero-risk windfall for politicians and you should invest accordingly.
I stood up openfaas for that a few years ago. Set an absurdly high global timeout and something more reasonable for each function. Setup was a twidge finicky (spend a day and rtfm), but I made a couple templates for each language the company used, and people generally had a much easier time deploying via that than anything else we had at the time, even for languages they'd formerly never touched.

Infinite scroll or not you’ll have this problem on a mutable set of items. You’ll have to dedupe the next “page” either client side or server side. Or something!

It’s one of the reasons that the “I can build XYZ app in a weekend” crowd sounds so silly. I bet Reddit spent dozens of not hundreds
of man-months nailing their scrolling behavior. It probably took many iterations of UX, product and engineering to get it right. And even now I bet they have a pile of JIRA tickets buried in their backlog relating to the pagination system.

In my experience there is a non linear relation between the more seemless and “easy” something appears and the amount of work that went into it. Things seem “easy” because the developers poured a pile of fit & finish on the system.
Words are tools of thought, and it's good to be exposed to new tools. They give you different angles and nuances to approach a problem. Presenting things plainly is nice. But insisting it's the only way to communicate is silly. Not every form of communication has to be nonchallenging. Not everything has to be predigested for you. It's okay for some things to take a little work to unpack.

Dismissing someone for using different terminology is dismissing someone who could surprise you or teach you something new because you don't like the aesthetics of their speech and you aren't willing to put in the effort to understand them. If you don't want to spend your time that way I understand, but why is that a stance? Why isn't that just how you've prioritized your day, without making it a moral judgement about the quality of their speech?

> This does not mean that we need to dumb things down, but if OP can not explain things in a simplified matter, I'd take it as a signal that OP's criticism at best as non-practical and at worst as pseudo-intellectual BS.

What you're saying here is that you'd rather rely on this heuristic to dismiss what they have to say, then figure out whether what they say has value. And you do you. But this isn't a reflection on anyone other than you. It isn't a criticism of their statement. You're kinda cheating yourself. You've just decided that along this certain axis, your thinking is done expanding and you have no more to learn. And that's unfortunate, I hope you'll reconsider because there's a lot of richness there.
You're thinking of the way web content blocking works. This is a SMS filter, which is given actual access to the message contents.

However, the extension isn't allowed to make network requests while it's doing that, and has to pass off a request to contact a server to an iOS service than handles this outside of the extension's control. (I'm not actually sure what restrictions are involved on what Apple will send to your own server, admittedly.)
"Until recently, the consensus was that when medieval historians claimed it was unnatural for a woman to be brave or ambitious, the right response was: How sad that the past was so imprisoned by stereotypes. Not: Hmm, well, maybe they weren’t women."

Instead of lettinmg transexualism be a liberation from gender roles, we seem to be trying to force it into a third gender role, and then to squish other genders into that one if they don't conform to our binary expectations.
It's really enough to be unable to identify the objects. A video which shows exactly what the object looks like to your sensors, with an admission that you are unable to identify it, is the best feedback its operator could wish for. Even if the existence of such an operator is hypothetical (maybe there is an unknown but natural explanation) why risk it?
Oh I totally agree on a couple counts.

1.) Online booking systems are good for the 95% case (or maybe more). But I've spent way too much time wrestling multi-jaw international trips requiring non-major airlines into submission. To be sure, not sure how good our corporate travel would have been but maybe they'd have saved a lot of legwork and reservation would have been in one place.

2.) I've done things like long distance walking trips in England. Absolutely worth it to have someone book the places, arrange luggage transports, any shuttles, etc.

Thank you for clarifying this. So many forget that custom (In my view this is the sense of right and wrong) precedes law, and that is why public policies, codes, legal decisions are not law, but have the force of law (which stems from custom). Law stems from the customary belief in innate right and wrong that we all share between individuals.

Depends on the studio and the type of VFX. The most complex tend to be CPU/Memory bound as the datasets typically do not fit in GPU memory (48GB for an NVIDIA A6000). Thus you find AMD EPYC with a lot of RAM and NVME disks on the server side or AMD Threadripper Pro at artists desks.
It's technically impossible to ban littering too, but when people are caught doing it, they can be penalized to deter others from doing it.

Catching people mining is as simple as imposing KYC on UTXOs moved to exchanges and looking for miners with US IPs. (They can use a VPN to mine, but with China already banning mining and more countries to follow, VPN choices will diminish.)
They are not fine. Your css styles are tightly coupled with html elements. Your js is tightly coupled with html elements. So why keep all html elements, css and js together and separate from each other?

Components provide a better primitive by combining related css, html and js together as one unit.

while writing it without having to sell it is a bit of a gift, it is still just an amortization thing because your land is materially worth less now that the oil isn't available to be extracted. If you sold the land you would have a loss equivalent to that change in value to write off against your other profits. It's once again just a timing thing not an actual net change as the loss will be recorded and deducted from taxes payable at some point with or without this legislation and it really should be.
Fantastic to see Bob Allen mentioned here! The research group where I worked tended to be on the opposite side of debates to Prof. Allen, but he’s a skilled and influential historian of the British Industrial Revolution.

The last 10-20 years of research into the Industrial Revolution hasn’t had much impact on popular understanding. Hopefully books like the Very Short Introduction will change that.

What are the signs that make you think that?
You pay for service, for, service, flexibility, and and advice.

Service= a dedicated banker with whom you can call directly with issues/problems

Flexibility= Custom solutions / humans in the loop decisions. E.g. I know someone who was able to procure a 90 day bridge loan implying dizzying leverage as he was buying a business and buying + selling a primary residence because he was able to sit down with someone, walk through the merits with a human underwriter.

Advice= Conduit of multitudes of expert opinions around insurance, tax, estate planning etc.
That's not my understanding of democracy regardless of this interpretation. Democracy is about bestowing power to a majority. There is a big difference between the terms "people" and a "majority of people" because the majority can, and does, end up being wrong about a great many things. So if we bestow power to a majority we end up with less power as a people.

This is an extremely vague claim with so many caveats that it doesn't end up meaning anything yet if you state it confidently you might fool idiots into thinking you said something consequential.

It'd be great if there was all the real competition you seem imagine for Rust, but we don't see that. What we see are people pretending that it doesn't matter if they produce crap software using unsafe languages, but their customers are starting to notice.

I like the images the Fuji cameras produce and was interested in the xt4 when it came out. But boy is that thing huge, especially with the faux-pentaprism bump.

I currently own a pen-f, which is tiny. But I figure if I'm going to haul around a brick, might as well go for full-frame. Especially since Sony came out with the a7c. However, Sony doesn't seem to have small lenses and their tone rendition doesn't have the same effect on me.

Guess I'll just have to wait and hope for a pen-f mark 2...

> They also offer a pixel-combining mode now that shifts the sensor very small, precise amounts and then combines images to increase resolution up to 4x in the final result. You need a tripod and some time, but I'm looking forward to playing with it.

I also like The Best Interface Is No Interface, although the original article was sufficient.
OpenAI Dall-e uses infinite scrolling to display your saved images. If your window is large enough to not have an active vertical scrollbar, it will never load all your images. So, instead of pagination, you have to resize your window to the size of a phone and rage scroll downward to load more images. Odd UX choice.
I'm struggling to understand why this is useful. How is this useful from doing a docker exec, or kubectl exec?
Obviously that is highly subjective. I really liked it, as did my 16 year old son. Although, being British, it was weird to see my countrymen as the cartoon baddies[1]. It is completely over the top and fantastical. But that is part of the appeal. I thought it made a very refreshing change from hollywood movies.
