Hunh??? (Also, why would anyone want to read anyone else’s personal journal, I mean, I guess if you were Donald Trump it might be “interesting”. But if there were more than, like, three of these that I followed, I’d be reading personal journals more than doing anything else. I barely have time to follow podcasts that drop once a month, much less the random musings of random hackers.)
Hmm... If the database somehow manages to still do what I need it to do - yeah, sure?

(But I may be strange here, dunno. I am alright with using suboptimal tools - like WordPress for my eshop, haha...)
I think statecharts are even more useful than sequence diagrams in documenting behaviour. Statecharts are Turing complete, and succinctly visually encode complex behaviour that is going to take reams of text to describe. Harel et al have done serious, rigourous work in developing statechart.
The results in midjourney are significantly better than SD. I find it much easier to get to a good result in MJ and I've been trying to understand why. Anymore insight you could share?
Giving someone some small benefit of the doubt when they make a comment like that is about my limit. This isn't my first rodeo. It's on them to demonstrate their absurd, unreasonable, unfair, completely off the rails read of my comment wasn't meant to kick off a hell thread.
It sounds like that’s exactly what this group is doing. They’re not suing about housing in the abstract, they’re suing over specific denials of projects that would have provided housing.

> The group is also involved in two suits against San Francisco related to two of the most high-profile housing denials over the last few years—the planned projects at 450 O’Farrell St.and 469 Stevenson St.
I mean sure... But why go out of my way to use closed source software when the open source options are right there?
> The true value of UML is that it reduces ambiguity and constrains risk through lightweight prototyping.

Nothing in UML is lightweight. As you mentioned there are rules and diagram types to learn.

> Developers are not the people who should draw UML

Maybe not UML but developers should draw more. Diagrams are a great way to communicate architectures, data flow, abstractions, etc. I would save many hours if diagrams where available instead of having to read code.

As a high school freshman in 1979, our introductory physics class was only nominally about physics. It was really about “how to do science”.

We did lots of experiments, made lots of charts, did lots of curve fitting, and for the first few months were required to use a slide rule instead of a calculator. This was explicitly because (a) we would have to track the magnitudes ourselves and would develop the ability to “sanity check”, and (b) we would be forced to keep our calculations within the same realm of precision as our measurements (mostly made with a ruler).

For me, those were valuable and persistent lessons. There may be a better way to teach them today, but it worked well back then!
The point about closing institutions because of abuse is not wrong. The solution isn't to close them and push the mentally ill out on the street, it's fix the institutions!

The article says flight attendants don't vacuum between flights. But I once lost my phone on a southwest flight (I was sleeping and didn't notice it missing until we landed.) The flight attendants let me stay on the plane after everybody else disembarked to look for it. One of them was vacuuming while I searched. That was some years ago though, maybe things have changed. I found my phone under a seat a few rows away.
What I like about my style, is that the document structure enforces the layout structure. The two are much more closely bound, and with this style, you can perform arbitrary levels of subdivisions of your containers.

Working off your last link, the final "holy grail" example, with less style but the same exact layout: https://jsfiddle.net/Lpedja35/

You don't have to have a matrix with an artificial rank to represent this. I only need to specify the 1 and 4 rows once. I don't have to make a square and then decide how to divide it, which, is the "table thinking" I mentioned earlier. I just observe which elements need Grow and then design from the inside out.
I don't have 20 million sitting in the bank, but I still definitely wouldn't take that. 40k is definitely a lot to me, but if it's similar to an NDA, you have to assume that the legal and financial penalties if you mess up could be ruinous. And I'm almost definitely going to mess up and accidentally say the word "are".

The 40k isn't a gift, it's a payment in order to take on a liability. I'd have a lot more success not talking about why I was let go, as opposed to not saying the word "are", but I'd still have to weigh the consequences of messing up one drunken or tired evening.
I’d be interested to hear what you propose as useful alternatives, or why you say you almost never want the parallel curve…

Others pointed out stroking, and in graphics stroking isn’t just common, it’s ubiquitous and you’re using it right now, because fonts are stroked as are lots of your browser features (I can see stroked rounded edge on my comment edit box, in addition to strokes on vector based SVG icons sprinkled on my screen). Most/all paint and drawing apps have stroked paths, etc., like Photoshop & Illustrator. All the online “whiteboards” use stroked paths. These are all offset curves or parallel curves according to the above definition. 3d graphics uses offset curves too for hair rendering, rigging & simulation, just as one example.

Aaah yes, SAP, also often called Satan's Accounting Package by the people who are forced to use it.

Time for NIMBYs to start suing the State. These requirements are mandated through ABAG and cities membership is compulsory. You can’t opt out of ABAG. Can’t guarantee that we won’t have rolling blackouts or water rationing or even provide basic law and order that is essentially the actual definition of a govt’s job…this nonsense has to stop.
Bell's Theorem and the many experiments that followed allegedly prove that they couldn't have taken on any state before measurement, based on probability theory. If they had predetermined states before you measured them, there is a limit to how often an experiment could yield a certain result. But in these experiments, that limit is exceeded.

Search for "bell inequality".
I came to appreciate and realize the importance of note-taking, finally this year, with org-mode. Folding and easy-labeling features jive well with me (and for when sharing my notes and thoughts with others), babel and linking is pretty cool too.

I use orgmode for to-do lists too, but it's a little weak there. I think an effective to-do list management implementation is tightly coupled with calendars...

It was such a welcome surprise to me that when I got the M2 Macbook air, Apple calendar synced to my google calendar so easily... now my to-do list/calendar schedule is never too far away from me. The apple watch makes a vibration ding for events in my calendar... as does the iphone, and I can CRUD calendar entries on any of these interfaces. I would have _loved_ to be able to have org-mode as one other place where my calendar/todo list is staring at me in the face, as I now use emacs for everything, but sadly that's iffy. Yes, solutions purportedly exist (e.g. https://github.com/kidd/org-gcal.el9 ) but none work reliably and require too much finagling. Linked solution doesn't work as Google deprecated the ability to retrieve OAuth 2.0 tokens.

You don't know about Huawei Ascend, which launched in 2019 (see https://www.huawei.com/en/news/2019/8/huawei-ascend-910-most...), and now after 3 years everyone (at least here in East Asia) trying to actually deploy AI inference at least heard about, as one of the best solution in the market, and still are commenting on AI accelerators and "their failures in markets where they compete with other products", okay. Go on being clueless.

It's already here. What the fuck are you talking about, "I don't think that's been established yet". That would have made sense in 2019, not in 2022.
Nah, nobody writes raw Vulkan for every new implementation.

It'll show up somewhere and then everyone will copy/paste it. Or github copilot it - which is the same thing...
Fiberglass/carbon fiber are the high end models of “conventional” hard hats to which im referring. Basic ones can be as cheap as like $20. Style hard hats like ones that look like a cowboy hat are like $300.

Edit: “conventional” as being without any newer technology like wavecel

^ 100% agree, some mentally ill people just need to be in an institution, where they can either get the care and treatment they need - and hopefully be cured and become a functional member of society - or at least where the amount of harm they are able to cause to themselves (and society) can be minimised.
Totally see where you are coming from, and as a consumer I try to avoid any video that smells like clickbait.

There are many channels that do have great content and accurate captions/thumbnails. From what I’ve seen, having high quality, consistent content over a prolonged period of time is a pretty sure way to grow.
So WHY are transistors important? How do you use them to create computers?
I strongly disagree. Truly readable code ought to be understandable to a newcomer to a particular codebase (or even, the language) - usually the sweet-spot is somewhere slightly terser than that, though.
Both your comments are very helpful, so I’m glad you did :)
I mean, you want cheap flights, you get flying buses.
Don't worry everyone, Meta only cut the Responsible Innovation Team because they stopped innovating years ago
It can’t. :)

Well, I kid a bit. I’ve seen it produce some amazing results, but, generally, it has a hard time with that. Often faces end up looking blurry or having these creepy, dead white eyes. Hands likewise often end up malformed (seven fingers anyone?) and twisty. But, it seems to have a much easier time generating passable faces in close ups with the right key words. Especially if you give it an input image that already has a clear one. It also seems to have an easier time doing faces it already knows like a celebrity, presumably because it’s using a strong existing influence instead of inventing/hallucinating it.

Supposedly this is improved in their new 1.5 version which is in beta. The software is so compelling that I suspect this will be improved quite quickly. Also, I think either way workarounds will emerge, either by composing with other networks/software (some UIs have GANs for face correction) or the old fashioned way by photoshopping over the blemishes.
Thank you very much. This is what I was thinking, more or less, and didn't know how to effectively articulate.
I recommend users who link against OpenSSL to enable padding to multiples of at least 1024 bytes if they want to impede traffic analysis. The Nginx devs aren't interested in implementing random record padding or supporting the feature in BoringSSL/LibreSSL, unfortunately.

Can Caddy leverage either form of padding? If so, I might need to give it another look!

And regarding modules: most are written in C and dynamically loaded as shared objects or statically linked during compile-time. A bunch are listed at https://www.nginx.com/resources/wiki/modules/. The ones for live streaming and VODs are the hardest to replace, IMO. IPScrub was my favorite but I haven't used it for a few years.

Personally, I think live streaming and ffmpeg-based encoding are specialized enough to warrant a specialized server (like a custom Nginx build) and are a bit out of scope for a general-purpose user-friendly server like Caddy.
Yeah no one ever saw a Java NullPointerException before hey?

No memory leaks and portability were the main benefits we were sold on at the time
It is optimizing for the shape, and the parametrization is not guaranteed to match at all. Whether this is a good thing or a bad thing depends on your application. If you just want the parallel curve, then it's a good thing, as you're putting all possible degrees of freedom into making the curve more accurate (this is why you get O(n^6) scaling). If, say, you wanted to interpolate between the original and the offset, for example adding a grade axis to a variable font, it's a bad thing, as the two curves are not necessarily "interpolation compatible." It's not clear to me which of those you care about :)

I could add a correspondence visualization (I thought about something similar when describing the error measurement technique), but you can also see it pretty clearly by looking at the lengths of the control arms. That's easiest to see when accuracy is set to infinity.
TBH I didn’t even notice the fight for most of the video. I thought the subject was the heroin hangers, the guy beating the sidewalk with a broom, and people otherwise not knowing what planet they’re on.

So you would have stepped in and broke it up?

Or called the cops? Good luck with that. When I lived in SF, I called 911 to report someone violently attempting to break in to a house down the street from me. Cops never came. You think they’ll come for a bum fight?

I don't get why nobody is talking about this. I'm starting to suspect it only effects a subset of all AirPods Pro and is covered by this replacement program even though it's not really tasted clearly.

AirPods Pro even compared to the the non-Pros have awful microphones.

It is when you have chains of them: see Vulkan setup.

In Zig, I find that I put a whole litany of "_ = varname;" at the bottom of my functions (starting with the function arguments) and they stay there permanently. This is NOT an improvement.

However, it's not really enough to stop me from using the language as that's an easy thing to evantually fix.
Its... weirder than that. The issue is that the measurement of the particle changes it - and changes the entangled particle.

I call this the Socrates Principle. He rejected writing because he considered it a crutch for memory and just as walking with crutches weakens the legs, so writing weakens the memory. The principle generalizes to tools of all sorts. There’s a fundamental tension between the increased capabilities tools offer versus the atrophy of your own abilities that relying on them leads to.

I see my journal of ideas as a blog. I just happen to use GitHub and it is formatted as a journal.

I am always looking for high quality things to read. So I'm interested in other people's blogs such as Joel on Software or Jeff Atwood or Joe Duffy.

If you don't find it interesting then you are not the intended audience.
I find all online note taking to be useless because you can’t efficiently and effectively draw on any existing platform with anything like the convenience of p&p. Also, why aren’t you all just using gDocs, like everyone else? Self hosting your personal notes seems like you’re putting your precious brain dumps one drive failure away from disaster.
The mandates are entirely legal, and people who oppose new housing have no legal leg to stand on.

New housing is going to built, as that is what the law says. If you don't like it, then go try and change california law.
We may need laws in place that prevent public accusations of this category of career-ending adjectives.
Ah yes, more lawsuits, that always works grrrrreat at speeding up bureaucracy.
I've been following a guy on Tiktok who talks a lot about this and is very active in fighting NIMBYism through California. I can't remember his name but IIRC he's a Google employee.

It's crazy the amount of NIMBYism out there. I've seen clips of straight-faced people at council meetings arguing against this because it would ruin the "character" of Atherton. For those that don't know, Atherton is a billionaire enclave in Palo Alto. It just reminded me how much I hate the Bay Area. It's full of what I like to call PINOs (borrowing from RINO; Progressives in Name Only).

Fun fact: the newly anointed YC president Garry Tan automatically blocks anyone on Twitter who follows anyone who advocates for housing reform or even likes any tweets from such [1].

I'm hopeful about this. What California really needs however is to revert Prop 13.

But yes, San Francisco is going to be a tough nut to crack, particularly with limited enforcement mechanisms in state legislation. Hopefully that too can change. Relying on private enforcement is no solution.

Been using victoria for both personal homelab and at work (~100m active TS, 15b index size). Nothing comes close to price/performance (resources-wise) ratio. The only thing i miss is rebalance/node drain, but you need to sacrifice something to gain something else.

Another issue is when people start learning about MetricsQL, once dashboards are written with extended PromQL, you can't migrate it easily. Not that i'm planning to do so in observable future.
I was on a recent Delta flight and they had cleaners come in and wipe everything. Not sure if it's something everything flight. It was to Atlanta where it's their hub so maybe they have a dedicated staff there.

I didn't see the video of clouds from the seat but IMHO that's prob common...I remember as a kid hitting office chairs and seeing dusts puff up.

The article cited Ryan air a lot, but like Frontier Airlines, I imagine cheap tickets means bad customer service as their staff is paid just enough to do their jobs but not care...that's talking from personal experience of how rude and unknowledgable Frontier staff (not just one but all interactions on my one flight) was compared to other airlines.
Cross-validation is important with any design calculations, simulations, and the like.

Something I tell developers and system administrators in my consulting job is to be aware of "orders of magnitude" and try to estimate them in their head when investigating things.

Just yesterday I was trying to explain to someone that taking 4 seconds to load 150 bytes of text on a page is an error measured in orders of magnitude. Scaling up or down isn't the answer when the situation is "off" by a factor of 100,000x or more!
You're going to have to speak to them, and it's going to be a difficult conversation for both of you. I therefore would suggest reading a book called Difficult Conversations[1], I can't recommend it enough. It's part of a series based off of research conducted at Harvard, of which Getting to Yes, and Getting Past No are two of the others, also highly recommended.

GP and all sibling comments are unfortunately incorrect.

The measurement of one _does_ instantaneously affect the other. No useful information can be transmitted, since the outcomes are random, but that does not falsify the original statement.

In fact "affect the other" has no implication of "information is transferred" - someone would need to be an expert on classical information theory and simultaneously a novice of quantum information theory to draw that conclusion.
> There's nothing inherent to a slide rule that gives you a better sense for what the result should be.

I strongly disagree, having used a slide rule despite and spent hours exploring how it is the physical representation of logarithms.
I'm always amused when people complain about Ryanair. That horrible company deliberately destroys expectations to set the scene for getting away with the legal minimums for everything. Don't fly them, they won't change. If you do fly them, accept that you're supporting ultra-low cost, awful business practices and getting from A to B is about all you can expect.

Ah, well, he’s an even bigger jerk than I’d known.
With wealth being so unevenly distributed this is just another way for the rich to get what they want and protect their class.
Those are weasel words.

If the money in is proportional to carbon, and the money out gets distributed perfectly evenly by population then the net result is progressive.

The only way that can not be true is if emissions scale up faster than income scales down or if we listen to people citing fake concern for the poor to enact a means testing program that redirects 90% of the money to serco and other cronies for enforcement.
