The two that come to mind are ConTeXt https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ConTeXt (official: https://contextgarden.net) and DocBook https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DocBook (official: https://docbook.org). There are others, but they're less-serious and often not general purpose. Then there's the entire class of Markdown-based solutions (I personally wouldn't attempt academic work with any of those).

The other typesetting system is troff https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troff (official: https://troff.org), but it isn't a "tried to build something better than TeX/LaTex" since it predates TeX by a few years. Arguably TeX is an attempt at something better than troff.

The case for troff is pretty strong: https://rkrishnan.org/posts/2016-03-07-how-is-gopl-typeset.h...

But honestly LaTeX is so ingrained in academia that it is probably worth sticking with it. You might even learn to love it.
My current feeling is that, at least in SF, no one cares about traffic laws. The roads are public and traffic laws exist to organize sharing of the roads. I think I'd prefer the roads to be surveilled and more fines be levied. I'm sick of watching people just run red lights, turn right on no-right-on-red lights, block lanes that are illegal to block, stop in places marked "no-stopping", drive down bus only lanes, cross double white "no crossing line" etc... These all put other people's health/lives in danger and need to be enforced IMO
Actually, it's on our production system, and I don't use this for TLS.
Have you tried wrapping everything in an Rc<> (or Arc<Mutex<>>) and keeping everything synchronous and single threaded? I've seen people report good success with that for low-performance stuff.

Reference counted languages provide 99% of the benefit of full GCs for simple programs, and I think those two suggestions are enough to mindlessly appease the borrow checker in most circumstances.
> Preventing employees from visiting phishing and malware sites: DNS requests leaving the device can automatically and implicitly use Cloudflare Gateway for DNS filtering.

> Mitigating common SIM attacks: an eSIM-first approach allows us to prevent SIM-swapping or cloning attacks, and by locking SIMs to individual employee devices, bring the same protections to physical SIMs.

> Enabling secure, identity-based private connectivity to cloud services, on-premise infrastructure and even other devices (think: fleets of IoT devices) via Magic WAN. Each SIM can be strongly tied to a specific employee, and treated as an identity signal in conjunction with other device posture signals already supported by WARP.
Not sure who would expect that. Usually open source is "OSS" (Open source software) "FOSS" (Free ...) or "FLOSS" (Free Libre ....). OS pretty much always has meant Operating System.
Yeah, this is the same response I had as well. iOS and macOS being the literal name of 2 popular operating systems.
Economics has a concept called "revealed preferences" which is the idea that you can better understand what someone values by what they do as opposed to what they say.

So in a scenario where someone says "climate change is an existential threat" but then acts like it's just one among many issues they care about reveals what they actually believe about climate change.

The problem with your scenario is doesn't reveal anyone's preferences because the threat isn't believable. However if the threat is believable than that does reveal their preferences about the end of the world vs being naked. And I don't mention Putin fanaticism because the entire scenario is not about Putin, Putin is a device to illustrate a choice Apple and their employees would need to make. Just like how if someone asks about the maintenance schedule of the trolly car in the typical trolly car problem they're missing the point.
An ironic comment in a story about long-term bets going bad.
Thanks for watching and for the kind words!
Re 1. – it’s definitely on the roadmap – we’re planning on getting to it in Q4/Q1, but we can move it up depending on customer need.
Re 2. – for tables without a tenant ID column, we suggest creating a view on top of that table that performs the join to add the tenant column (e.g., "school_id") – it's a pretty common pre-req.
Yes, but... the best practice today is lazy-loaded thumbnails linking to the real deal. Or opening a lightbox with a 800-1000px or so image and a full-sized download link below it.
This wasn't about science, it was about political science. I think the lockdowns were not about "stopping spread" but actually a sort of test to see how populations respond to absurd orders in preparation for climate lockdowns in the next few years, per the WEF. People just accepted this "six-feet / two-meter social distancing" and forcing others to comply with this rule, which has never been demonstrated or proven by any sort of scientific fact. Anyone who questioned these orders was treated as a heretic. This collective trauma will be very difficult to recover from. Because I do not trust the WEF, I suspect the trauma, confusion, and hypocrisy is the point.
So Germany is sane? People freezing to death in the richest country in the EU because it doesn't feel nice to admit that addressing your needs involves tradeoffs doesn't seem very sane to me.

Destroying the military's credibility or liking was not the point of why he did what he did. He wanted to expose the likely unconstitutionality of what the US government is/was doing.
I've been recently working with recruiters, and while they're nice people that are generally pleasant to chat with on the phone, I've generally found their insistence to use the phone for things that could easily be handled asynchronously very annoying.

I mean, if we need to have a conversation sure, let's talk, but if they're just trying to feel out if I'm interested in a role, just email me the job description. I don't want to talk with like 10 people a day and tell 9 of them I'm not interested. As most coder's know, it's not so much the interruption itself that's bad, it's the context switch, and/or the anxiety of it. (To be honest this is why I also prefer to pick up my food orders rather than have them be delivered -- I don't really like being "on call" in that sense)

Most of my friend's and family just do a "is now a cool time to call?" thing for casual conversations. I think that's really the best approach.

Also, while I don't feel an "entitlement" in terms of demanding nobody calls me, I do get annoyed when people feel entitled to a prompt response if I'm not expecting to hear from them. A lot of times I like to stash my phone in another room so it's not a distraction; but some people get really salty if you don't reply in an hour or two.
Does this mean you've internalized it?

I think that generally is a characteristic of something who's mastered something.

It does make sense, but I don't think it's strictly true. You can understand something without making it second nature.
Montreal still is a AI powerhouse. Most of the same people who were here ten years ago still are, and still working on the same research topics, just with less flashy PR.

Just pick up a plate number that matches your car; it's not like every car is unique. (But of course that would be harmful to the rightful owner of that registration number.)

Also, it's a little doubtful colors can be recognized in all light conditions (at night, in a tunnel, etc.)

And if the car is simply parked (vs. a road check), does it matter that it's "flagged"? What could happen? There would have to be a warning somewhere for the car to be impounded, or to send officers to wait for the owner to show up. Very unlikely IMHO.
Right. It's not a great employee experience by any means. Mocking references to Strive to be Earth's Best Employer abound.
This is true in as far as it goes with respect to short-term / working memory.

But I think it glosses over the most important detail; long-term memory comprises many distinct sub-systems. "Remembering" is typically (IME) associated with explicit/conscious long-term memory processes, but I think the most important thing for learning complex domains like Quantum Mechanics is implicit memory, specifically procedural memory.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long-term_memory#Implicit_memo...

In order to understand higher-level concepts like the Schrodinger Equation, one must first thoroughly understand lower-level concepts, starting with mathematical theories like calculus, and physics models of energy. It's not possible to simply fill out an Anki card for these lower-level concepts and memorize the wikipedia page; one must practice performing those mathematical operations until they are unconscious like riding a bike.

This is recursive; one can't understand higher-still domains like Quantum Chromodynamics or Quantum Chemistry until one has worked with the Schrodinger Equation (and other QM formulations) enough that it's deeply lodged in your procedural memory.

This is why it takes ten years to train a physicist (and even then one could argue that physicist is at the beginning of their journey); one must spend undergraduate years working out a bunch of problems by hand, gradually layering new concepts on top of old ones. It's not like pushing a software engineer though a dev boot camp, where a dev can produce something that is simple but useful after a few months. There is no way of usefully abstracting away the lower levels of complexity in Physics.

The other side of that observation is useful too; software bootcamps are possible because we successfully abstracted away a lot of complexity. Good abstractions (even when leaky) can be immensely valuable. Imagine having to do a PhD to have enough expertise to build a web application? I think this achievement is perhaps under-rated, particularly in this community that takes joy in peeling back the layers.

I suppose the other observation I'd make is, don't overuse Anki; it's good for memorizing facts, but not necessarily helpful for procedural memory. You still need to practice doing the thing in order to master complex domains. (I'm open to the argument that having facts memorized might make the procedural acquisition faster, but I'm not certain that it's more effective than just spending the memorization time on focused procedural learning practice instead.)
Is there a page we can see a table of features?
I think basically - if you already know the file is the correct version, then it must be the correct version, so no need to check again. Which sounds much less impressive when put that way.

One way to do this is to hash the file and store that hash somewhere you trust, which i think is what the person is suggesting. This approach has somewhat limited applicability, because if you already have a trusted channel, why are you using cryptography? (Yes there are lots of exceptions to that where crrypto still makes sense, but in general the point stands)

> Sidenote, i know next to nothing about crypto practices. I desperately need to find a class which teaches necessary knowledge to use crypto correctly in your own programs.

If you like hands on stuff, https://cryptopals.com/ has a lot of challenges to help learn stuff. Other than that maybe look into books. When i was trying to learn about this stuff, I liked "Cryptography Engineering" by Ferguson, but that was a while ago no idea if its dated now (also i am definitely an amartur in this so take everything i say with a grain of salt)
Buuuuut.... Notice that it appears this repo contains precompiled binaries and no obvious link to the source....

This is literally running some binary blob and giving it access to a big chunk of your digital life. If it were malicious, all it would need to do is steal the token and then upload some illegal images and your whole Google account will be permabanned.
Why all these hypotheticals that aren't relevant? That (signing of a binding contract where work was done and then the employer reneged on payment) manifestly did not happen in this case.
I’m not sure why browsers are treated differently than other pieces of software. Operating systems ship a bundled calculator, text editor, email software, basic rich text editing, photo viewer, pdf viewer, etc. All of these are used much more than their quality would indicate simply because they are installed by default. Should an OS be required to interview the user on install for what their preferred choice of all of these products are?
Rents drop for first time in two years after climbing to records
Ok Moz if browsers are essential why are you complicit in making them even more complex all the time, and push for entire new runtimes such as WASM even? If browsers were commodity items, we'd see more innovation and participation than we do now. The same "gatekeeper" argument brought against OSs in the report also works against browsers which, with the exception of Safari, are produced by an unhealthy browser cartel.

How do you expect commenters to react to your post when you haven't read the book and start soapboxing with your preconceived notions of the book without even engaging with what is actually in the book? It's hard to take you in good faith when 90% of your post is starting a fight with people.
Oh, so wrong doing is okay as long it affects only foreign states, including allies?

Yeah unless you enjoy spending time with people physically to build something for your employer.... there's no point.

I'm fine with selling 8 hours a day to an abstract entity called BigCorp to create what they want. Working remote I'm still doing that and giving them value.

My experience with GPL is that it's used to sell commercial licenses. For instance, the Second Life viewer is dual licensed: GPL and Commercial. Several commercial customers (names redacted to protect the guilty) made changes to the viewer and were later told by Linden they had to purchase a commercial license to avoid violating GPL, even though they were only distributing the viewer internally.

I dunno man. That seems like a bait and switch. You start off with "oh. how could we charge you, it's open source" and then turn around and say "pay up or we'll get Eben Moglen to sue you."

Seems like a racket to me.

But YMMV. I release things under a BSD license, but that's just me. Unlike GPL fans, I don't try to tell other people what license they should release their software under. If you're hip to GPL, by all means use it, I don't think that EVERYONE using a GPL license is running a racket. Just mentioning it so peeps might understand the pushback on EFF/GPL some people feel.
You should add your benchmark to the https://openbenchmarking.org/

And then there is a greater chance that phoronix will include it in its tests; or others will run it and publish the results.

MSVC then, I presume.
That is a completely different matter. The definition of sin/cos in radians doesn't change if you prefer to use 2 * pi or tau - it's still x - x^3/3! + [...]. sin(pi/2) = sin (tau/4) = 1.
I do think a lot of companies are hobbled by making mediocre stuff.

Chuwi is an interesting example of this to me, while still being very value/low-end focused. They sell a variety of laptops & cubes, for very low prices, with generally great screens, strong solid metal builds, decent keyboards. They often use 2 or 3 generation behind cpus though. But to most people, that's fine. They're still getting a very cheap relatively wellade laptop with many of the premium aspects intact.

It seems like most companies engage in some real bargaining with the devil when they create low and mid-tier products. Costs are cut not because theyake financial sense, but simply to coerce more poeple into buying something else, something higher tier. The markets seem self-polluting, and I think it hurts companies a lot to behave like this.

In software the real lesson here isnt quite as clear. I do think a lot of companies lack the "no" filter, build things then never reconsider whether it was a good or positive thing. Like law/government & so much in this world, it feels sometimes like things only ever accrue, accumulate, accrete. Refinement & will, redeciding, sifting between whst is of worth & what to get rid of, is under-performed, is hard to make a practice. Rejecting part of your own product & going back, not forward, is rarely rewarded or visible work. Jobs being someome who said "no" a lot was a key function many companies cant do.
"Hey, you mentioned you needed mushrooms for dinner. Did you get them yet? I'm at the store and could grab them right now and save you a trip," sounds "unhinged" to you? WTF.
Ranked: Countries with the Most Ultra-Wealthy Individuals
Yeah, it's not clear if we will be satisfied with those explanations: "I decided to slow down because I see these (seemingly random and irrelevant) objects around me", because during training on trillions of video frames the model has learned it should slow down when similar object configurations are present to reduce the chance of an accident by 0.0002%.

Even if the given reason is simple, like "I decided to slow down because the car in front of me is red", explicit override of the learned rule ("don't slow down when you see red cars") might potentially increase the chance of the accident by a lot more than 0.0002% because we are messing with the model decision making process.

A particular field owes its popularity largely to its financial appeal. In the past the most popular majors were biology (pre-med) and economics (pre-business). Today it is computer science.
Many folks in crypto expected those Ethereum-mining GPU farms to just switch to some other GPU-minable cryptocurrencies. It wasn't a certainty all those farms would just close up and dump their GPUs on the market en masse. But Fed interest rate policy hitting at the same time, driving down the crypto market across the board (and all other risk assets), may have unexpectedly changed the ROI calculation there and resulted in the dump.
Not the same thing because Microsoft never tried to prevent the user from installing Firefox or Chrome.
I strongly suspect that in most cases, yes, you do. The only time you wouldn't pay this cost is if the multiplication outside of the sin() call and the multiplication inside of it can be constant folded together. That requires the call to sin() to have its code inlined at the callsite. Given how large most sin() implementations are, I would be fairly surprised if it does get inlined.

The only way to answer this is to profile it and see.
Would be much better if these changes were a branch on the starting repo rather than entire refactors with many changes.
120Hz was not that uncommon in the last years of CRTs, they could actually go higher: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ySQzXpYETXc

I guess it all depends on what you define as "small resolutions".
My stupid ADI monitor from 97 could do 1024x768@85Hz
I know industry gets away with it, but I think a post synthesis simulation run is in order until the tools can prove that their output is correct.
It depends on the carrier implementation. Here in Italy both TIM and Vodafone allow for infinite rescan of the same qrcode, Wind3 does not.
Speaking of license options, even if you decide to release all your code as open source, there are so many options to choose from. I counted 116 different open source licenses that are currently 'blessed' by OSI: https://opensource.org/licenses/alphabetical

Reminds me of Feynman's anecdote about the names of a bird.

> See that bird? It’s a brown-throated thrush, but in Germany it’s called a halzenfugel, and in Chinese they call it a chung ling and even if you know all those names for it, you still know nothing about the bird. You only know something about people; what they call the bird. Now that thrush sings, and teaches its young to fly, and flies so many miles away during the summer across the country, and nobody knows how it finds its way.

Is there a reason we don't trust the teachers to make that call? I imagine there are a near infinite number of books that have "no classroom merit", do we need to spell them all out?

It's also hard to square "it just doesn't provide any benefit in the classroom" with this quote from the board president:

> What we are attempting to do is balance legitimate academic freedom with what could be literature/materials that are too activist in nature, and may lean more toward indoctrination rather than age-appropriate academic content.

That sure seems to suggest someone thought a group of girls bonding in coding club was "too activist".
The term "unprocessed foods" smells too much like the naturalistic fallacy to me.

According to that definition weight loss bars, that are designed to be high-protein (hence high-satiety), would be considered a processed food simply for using artificial colors.

It seems clear sugar is the culprit, and if you are avoiding processed foods you are also avoiding added sugar.
Right, the basically entirely-unrelated game under the exact same name, from 2017, not the one from 2006.

[EDIT] It'd also have been pretty weird if the '06 Prey had seemed like it had some Blindsight DNA, since that novel was released a few months after the '06 Prey. And I don't want to overstate the connection, but it's enough that I'm reasonably sure that someone involved in writing '17 Prey had read Blindsight.

[EDIT AGAIN] In fact, I'd literally bet money someone involved had also read a certain Watts short story in addition to Blindsight, which story I hesitate to even name for super-spoilery reasons.
Some attempts, started with your prompt then started chasing the theme. Image generation process in the captions. Stable Diffusion and DALL-E did the best in general (the uploaded examples cheated by going two stage, do the starfield first then erase the middle and infill). Midjourney thinks of stars like you're drawing a children's book:

Makes me think AI image golf would be fun. Start with an image, then see who can get to something approximating the finished image with minimum prompts. Nearly impossible to accurately score but it's a fun process.
No, they did not do "this very thing."

They bundled Internet Explorer with Windows, and yes, they did some dirty tricks to try to keep users on IE rather than use alternate browsers. But "other browser engines are forbidden on the phone or tablet" was not something they did.

They still are not "doing the same thing" as that.

Then again, I'm not in your imagination.
Disagree. Old? I guess, but that doesn’t mean bad … it has recent feature development and is currently maintained.

Crusty is not an adjective I would use, which seems like more ageism. It’s not an amazing GUI, but it’s very powerful. It will do whatever you want.

It's quite flexible and easy to define what I need it to do, to store and load configuration, and it has very meaningful reports. All of these things are pretty easy.

A one-size-fits all paid service could give you 3-click interactions and glossy charts, but at the cost of control and understanding what's really going on, and you're more likely to have wrong assumptions about what's happening.

Summary: load testing is just complicated enough that it requires effort, thought, and a good toolset.

Also K6 may be good or whatever, but it is a paid service. JMeter is free.
