Yet congress doesn't have hearings on every SEC investigation.

GPs claim was congress would better spend its time writing industry-wide laws instead of this dog-and-pony show (my words). Parent refutation was that the SEC is obligated to look into every allegation - my observation was that congress doesn't have to micromanage SEC investigations. I support gp - congress should be legislating or involving the SEC officials to see where the gaps in the law are, rather than seeking soundbites.
A few months ago, I got a kernel hang when accessing files on a shared "image storage" drive mounted using ntfs3 (forgot what I was doing, maybe using DigiKam), which surprisingly wouldn't respond to alt-sysrq. I ended up switching back to NTFS-3G.

I also tried using ntfs2btrfs with WinBtrfs, but ntfs2btrfs not only had a segfault in the application, but when I fixed it, it generated a corrupted btrfs filesystem that would enter read-only mode within a few minutes of having DigiKam accessing images on the btrfs storage drive.
Well, it depends on your definition of "fair". You're going by the market definition -- but the market definition of "fair" is often quite unfair by other definitions.
Nice. I used them in a poll creator. You create a poll and the app generates a QR code for you to display. People can use the QR code to go to the poll's site and vote.

Catching child predators is always the tip of the sword in the advancing frontier of surveillance.

It just so happens that it's a cover for outsourcing and scaling up the intelligence apparatus's ability to track everyone, everywhere, all the time. Just in case they do something really bad like steal state secrets or try to blow the whistle on a crime committed by a powerful person. It's always about cover stories for the state's unrelenting paranoia.
I recently had the experience of setting up some Prefect pipelines, which I can compare to this article. Note that while I'm not new to data engineering, I'm new to open source frameworks, and have some insight into Airflow (studied architecture in depth, written a lot of code in it).

Prefect is generally very easy to use. Essentially, you: (a) write a Python-based flow, which defines some job to run (with subtasks), (b) turn on an orchestrator on a server somewhere, (c) turn on an agent on a server somewhere (to run the flow when instructed by the orchestrator), and (d) connect to the orchestrator, build & apply a deployment, and run it.

I find the docs a little half baked right now. One example is that cron jobs, which one would think are essential to something like Prefect, basically can't be done (as of a month ago) without touching the Prefect UI. This is extremely odd.

I also found it fairly confusing which components were supposed to be checked into source control, and which weren't. I blame this on Python deployment generally being very odd and confusing, but Prefect docs don't make it any more clear. Prefect assumes that there's an S3-like storage that both the submitting computer (my laptop) and the orchestrator (the server) can access.

Overall I find it quite handy, and probably won't switch. It feels more lightweight than say using full Docker containers, which we probably don't need right now. The UI is nicer than Airflow's, and the orchestrator & agent are much easier on resources. It feels more reproducible. I haven't tried Prefect Cloud, and we're unlikely to (security & cost are the main reasons).

There's a lot of conservative men who see themselves as straight, and don't accept that trans women are "actual" women, who find themselves attracted to them anyways. These three beliefs are contradictory: accepting two of them requires compromising on the third. The three options, in short, are:

1. If they're straight and they're attracted to trans women, then that must mean they see trans women as women in some way. This would require that they re-examine their bigotry toward trans women, which many of them are unwilling to do.

2. If they're attracted to trans women but don't accept that trans women are women, then they must not be straight. This is an aspect of their identity that they are almost never willing to compromise on, as it usually just isn't true, it would jeopardize their masculinity in their view, and (even in the rare case where they actually aren't straight) it would require re-examining their bigotry toward gay men.

3. If they're straight and don't accept trans women aren't women, then they must not be really be attracted to them. Unlike the other options, this one does not require re-examining any bigotry or jeopardizing their masculinity, just a lot of denial and repression, so it tends to be more popular.

One traditional "fourth option" to this is the idea of the "trap", that trans women (or at least the attractive ones) are really just gay men pretending to be women so they can maliciously "trap" straight men into having sex with them. This doesn't really resolve the contradiction as much as it gives them something to hate to distract them from it.

I don't think it will be a major concern. A couple of thoughts:

- We built a simulation[1] of the NPM ecosystem to see how funds would be allocated. Frivolous projects did not see any significant funding.

- As I mentioned in other comments, you would still need to get many developer to actually use your new packages as either direct or second-order dependencies. Note that 2nd order dependencies receive quite a bit less allocation than direct ones.

- You can always manually manage your dependencies if you see a project engaging in this behavior.

Looking for feedback on my beta app that helps catch wage theft
Hi all!!

Wage theft is a huge problem that takes over $15,000,000,000 from the lowest paid employees. My aim is to help restaurant servers identify their portion of that pie and help them through the process of "next steps" if they would like to proceed.

If you have a minute, I'd love some feedback on the design of the app. If you make a test account just to play around with, please use "Test" as the restaurant name and "12345 Test Rd, Test, AZ 11111" as the street address. Opting out of Wage Theft protection would be good for me if you are just testing, but not fully required :)

thanks for your time!!

> will they consent to this implant? doesn't seem likely. and if not are you really so sure about the ehics of forced medical procedures? seems wrong to me.

If an "implant" could influence anyone mind to the degree the GP is speculating, it could probably also influence them to desire the implant and strongly reject the idea of its removal, which raises interesting questions.
III is kind of a vacuous statement. It purports to know something unknowable, and seems to imply something without explicitly stating it. Hardly a "safe assumption".

It might be more constructive to write down your actual conclusion. I'm sure you have a point to make, and I for one would like to hear it.
Yes, true. But I don't think the good people over at pornhub are targeting for this. They are targeting longest watch time.
I have both Apple Music and Spotify, and each have some neat music discovery features.

Spotify has an “Enhance Playlist” [0] option, which (reversibly) populates your playlists with similar songs.

Both Spotify and Apply Music have a “song radio” functionality which creates a custom dynamic playlist from a seed song.

Apple Music has live radio stations which are surprisingly good.

Both services have very great curated playlists, based on every mood / topic / genre / artist imaginable.

Outside of this, just the old-fashioned methods of (1) going to music festivals to discover new artists, and (2) sharing music with friends.

>> If there was another option out there people would use it.

This statement seems to not account for lock-in or network effects. Why do people still use Oracle products or Microsoft products like Outlook or Excel? It's certainly a big stretch to say that these things are "the best" (although Excel is, objectively, the best) unless your definition of "the best" is simply "the thing we are currently using because if there were something better we'd be using that." This seems a bit circular to me.

Why do people use Discord (or Slack) for housing information instead of bringing it into a self-hosted forum or internal database? Because people were lazy when they started and they're too lazy to port it over now and the massive inefficiencies are distributed over time and a number of users. It's a tragedy of the commons.

I have some bad news for you.
I spent a solid week in the planning office trying to get a permit to build a deck on my property.
After visiting five desks, redrawing plans every night to fix their absurd nits at the final window the lady pushed the plans back across the desk. “I just don’t like the professionalism of these drawing.” Drawings were made by a contractor with 20 years experience.

You know why housing doesn’t get built in San Francisco? That office. 100% of the problem.
You're right, they didn't have an example of their exact situation, so they should have felt perfectly safe. They could see that pogroms happened in other places, to other people, a long time ago, obviously not even relevant in hypermodern civilized 1930s Germany.

It may be lavish, but if an executive paid $350k is 35% less likely to make a mistake that would cost the organisation $1m (which is about 1% of their budget), compared to a volunteer working for free, then maybe, from the organisation's point of view, the expenditure is cheap.

Of course, judging performance like that is very difficult, and predicting it in advance is even harder, so it's possible that the highly paid executive would actually perform worse than a volunteer (or a random number generator), but if the complaint about "lavishness" is really about inequality (i.e. the executive's standard of living being much higher than they need / the median citizen's) then that criticism should probably be directed at the tax policies of the relevant governments.
not that I am aware of; and Wikipedia has spent tens of millions of dollars over the past decade on a more user-friendly UI with nothing to show for it to date. Which is a good reason to question how well they allocate their hundred million dollar annual revenue.

I did have a couple of professors I loved, but I overall agree with this, which is sad. Law professors tend to be really out of touch with the practical side of the profession. That plus the socratic method makes legal education more about fear-mongering and stuffing knowledge in your head than learning how to be a good lawyer to clients.

For the first week, be lazy, and lounge around while keeping up with your normal routines. Try to let yourself get bored. Start reading a book you've wanted to try getting into.

For the second and third weeks, you should have gotten your fill of sitting around. Try finding at least 6 places around you to stop in at, even if it's just for a coffee or lunch. Maybe use this as a way to socialize and stay 'present', if you have anyone you could invite along. Or see a few movies in theater, partake in a guilt-free bar night, etc.

For the final week, you get to reset your sleep schedule, and start shifting back over into more 'normal' habits. Maybe take a day or two to poke at some code to start jogging the brain again, or something that makes you problem-solve in some way. For me, that's often videogames, but it can be anything. If you have a garage, you have space for a physical project, if that's more your thing.
How much of this is because of international building codes, regulating window sizes, room sizes, etc. up to the point where to comply, it's more cost effective to build large homes?

I understand that the latest international codes make allowances for "Tiny Homes" but there is a gap left between the square footage of these and what constituted a starter home decades ago. Additionally, not all municipalities accept these allowances.
Well butter prices have gone up almost 100% -

But that's not the whole story. Prices are not primarily set by wholesale costs for many goods.

I think cereal has only gone up 30%, although there have been other events that influenced Kellogs pricing (notice how the Poptarts boxes have changed slightly) and then there has been the opportunity to steal away some extra profit - https://www.wxyz.com/news/now-cereal-prices-are-on-the-rise-...

Hi,

Is the Frontend Engineer position open remotely to applicants outside the UK or domestically?
Dagster contributor here responding to Astronomer employee ^^.

A "quickly-implemented" feature != parity in utility. E.g. Airflow's TaskFlow superficially looks like some of Dagster's APIs, but the experience of using them is way different:

- TaskFlow is built on top of XCom, which isn't designed for data sizes that larger than small.

- If you use TaskFlow instead of the recommended practice of using Kubernetes Operators (https://medium.com/bluecore-engineering/were-all-using-airfl...), you lose the ability to isolate Python dependencies between DAGs.

Having worked on Hadoop in the past, I saw how it's easy for large Apache projects to add tons of new features to get "parity" with upstart competitors, but still lose to software like Snowflake and Spark that engineer those features in the "right" way as part of a streamlined product vision.

Messing with data significantly outside of SQL is often asking for trouble.

SQL queries are compiled into very efficient operations which would take a lot longer to get right imperatively. Not only that, but database engines are improving all the time, so the same code you wrote which declares your desired transformations tends to get faster over time and there is nothing to update or refactor. The transformations you write are sort of timeless because they are strongly decoupled from the implementation and hardware.

Lots of data transformation steps in imperative languages require the persistence of an intermediate calculation (e.g., np.ndarray). SQL database only do this when the query planner deems it absolutely necessary. It will show up in your query plan as a "materialize" step.

The EXPLAIN feature of SQL is the most useful performance debugging tool. It also alerts me to a potential logic flaw quickly when the proposed plan looks insane. I have personally replaced several analytical programs a very large bank used to monitor loan originations and performance.

I don't use any special SQL language features to this day. The most sophisticated it typically gets is involving lots of subqueries, joins, and window functions. The real skill is distilling the convoluted imperative mess into its essence. I got really good at this.

Half the work effort is usually spent on socializing the changes I have to make to their logic to get it working right in SQL when it changes the behavior of their existing application's logic. Often times I find the client's imperative code attempting to perform a logical operation such as a join but it is implemented incorrectly.

Their existing imperative code operations actually produced the wrong results (subtly) frequently or their imperative code depended on the order of the data returned from the database (undefined behavior). Yikes.

What they actually wanted was provably implemented incorrectly or relied on undefined behavior and their mistakes and the proper resolution in SQL could be easily verified with paper and pen on a sample set of loans if necessary to drive the point home.
In a sense they are, but comparable to executive salaries at companies with roughly comparable tech/services, those salaries are probably very low.

Probably any tech company of note is paying "executives" far, far more than that, at least in the US.
The population of other national subdivisions is greater than that of Sweden and of most US states. That doesn't make sensible to introduce oneself with "I'm from Minas Gerais", "I come from North Rhine-Westphalia" or "I'm from Kaduna State" in an international context.

On an individual level allocation may seem a bit lopsided but, in aggregate, useful and popular projects will receive more funding.

Commercial projects can either not claim their funds (which will be reallocated), or elect to pass their funds through to their dependencies.

You also always have the option to explicitly list your dependencies.

I'm mildly blown away to read, 'And the NGINX community is not very active, and development tends to be “behind closed doors”.' Is this a reflection of the company, nginx (now owned by F5) going the way of an Oracle-style takeover of WebLogic from another era?

Interesting, I looked at the collection that's from (at the Smithsonian) and it didn't have any more in the pages I scanned. I wonder what the story is.
I haven’t tried this yet, but from the look of it, it expands both horizontally and vertically, and one of the more important features is collapsibility/expansion of subnodes.

Note that in the image there, they’ve got some subnodes expanded deep horizontally, while their sibling nodes might be even deeper but are collapsed.

The difference with a simple vertical outline is that this format is focused on pruning/unpruning parts of the tree, pair with an expectation of arbitrarily “deep” nesting. I find that in outline format, I’m unlikely to go deeper than a couple levels, and will at that point either switch to narrative or use some sort of referencing scheme.

They use to have pretty nice intelligence, almost on dogs' or horses' level. After reading this work I am sure a cow can suffer, in our understanding of suffering, especially if killing is going to be slow and torturous. But you can not disagree that if killing is going using halal protocol then a cow does not suffer, because blood just leaves the body and cow go to sleep. I am not sure cows I use to eat were killed in full-halal with pleas to some local gods, but I am sure nobody wants to be evil to his meat, that's why I believe all the important parts of halal approach has been met for every animal I ate. When I kill some chicken on my farm I always do it in one move, they do not yell from pain (as they can) so I never consider them suffering. That's why assumptions about animals from city people who do not live with animals every single day will never meet a decent response from me, you are so far away from animals' real life, your statement can not deliver me nothing except laughs.

Last but not least, I am not going to persuade you for obvious reasons.
