"inte" what? "Integrate" I assume and I will make this comment before checking. Also me next question "does it have a C binding"?
Yes, this (spleeter) is specifically what i was thinking of. I have to try it again, the version i have is a couple years old and there is a lot of artifacting. I also happen to have a fairly large library of stems, which i could probably use to train the model some more.
Thanks to energy prices my brother is going back to being a sad salary man sitting in cubicle. Big corpo is warm.
I write emails, usually long form (several paragraphs). And of course, I read emails too. I don't use any chat apps, nor Slack nor Teams. I regret the tendency of chat apps to integrate email; the result is that my correspondents tend to reply to my considered emails with "LOL <smiley>" or something like that.

The IMAP spec is poor; it's ambiguous and unclear. The only way to build a reliable client is to test interworking against as many IMAP servers as you can find. A better protocol would be a good thing.

The SMTP spec is NOT poor. There's no need to replace SMTP. It works fine.

It's some time since I read an explanation of JMAP (with the article doesn't provide). As far as I'm aware, it provides roughly the same service, but using HTTP and JSON. I'm not a supporter of the "replace everything with JSON" movement; I don't see the point.

I'm not that keen on the "replace everything with HTTP" movement either; if you piggy-back your new protocol on an existing protocol, there's a risk that your new application will start dragging the underlying standard along with it, to the detriment of the original application the underlying protocol was designed for. I.e., it would be regrettable if JMAP resulted in pressure on the HTTP standard to start including features motivated by the requirements of mail retrieval.
We have absolutely no experience shielding people from solar winds and cosmic radiation in any way that would be meaningful for an interplanetary journey. Even the ISS is benefiting from Earth's magnetosphere and atmosphere.

We have a few vague ideas:

* Thick plating. (How? Not like we can launch it, so we'd have to build the space craft in space using materials mined from e.g the moon or asteroids)

* An artificial magnetosphere, which researchers are still doing feasibility studies on. But there'd be a litany of challenges there as well, such as figuring out how to design it so that we don't see deleterious effects on electronics or people.

Moon jaunts were short enough that it didn't matter, but anything interplanetary will need this challenge to be solved lest we want our explorers to suffer excruciatingly painful deaths.
Same in the UK with RingGo.
New, Disruptive Studio Sprocket Games Raises $5M
Yes, that's exactly how I use it! Especially when I need to combine Terraform and CDK, or Terraform and Pulumi (depending on where I'm using which). The library has a nice CLI UI which makes running different things and gluing them together easy.

If you do end up trying this: try running "runbook ls" and "runbook run" after you download. It gives you an autocomplete UI that searches-as-you-type across all commands in your markdown document.
“Engaging” for people that have books like “Eloquent and professional marketing copy for dummies” on their nightstand.
Agreed. The workaround my team uses is to first merge an empty action with the right parameters set, then open a second branch to implement the action steps. Once the action hits main, you can start it, using the definition from any branch.
Agree, I have been in the industry for long enough to see that they are discriminated against. One thing which can counter the effect of height is humour - people who are funny and extrovert can get over this to a large extent (I guess this goes not only for professional relationships but personal ones too).
This is not the common "implementation" of sine and cosine, its the common argument h, in his use case, he tends to want to calculate turns and half turns most often. He might be able to refactor his functions to optimize for this, but its not exactly something I would expect to be a good idea for library code, people do want to calculate other angles.
Eventually your banking applications will fail to support the old (potentially insecure) version of iOS.
I’ve been remote-only for a decade, and had atypical career moves before then. At this point I frequently forget non-remote work on tech is a thing people do. Perhaps I could be tempted for the right combination of people, ownership, and remuneration…but probably not.

I cannot imagine neither, there is not money that could buy out this freedom out of me!

No. This doesn't even come close to representing my real-world experience.
I'm sure it depends on state, but as a rule, anything on a public surface (e.g. road, sidewalk, park) can be freely photographed by anyone.
I think the real argument is that the screen size has dramatically increased, making it way more uncomfortable to use compared to an SE (I had/have a 5, 6s and 13 mini so I've experienced this myself). The physical size difference of the object isn't that substantial IMO, but I understand your point of view.
PS5s are relatively easy to buy in bundles; if you're lucky you'll have a game you wanted, except at list price instead of market price, but most of the time you'll have useless overpriced accessories and average games. In fact, Sony is encouraging the practice, and makes it harder for resellers to not do this.
I like to have my two weekend days next to each other since they are a fairly discrete chunk of time in my mind and planning.
There will not be one. Obviously.

I’m not 100% against office work, but I’m 100% against commuting. I’m also no longer interested in living in most of the areas that would minimize my commute (due to poor schools, less child friendly, etc). If the right company came and set up shop in my current city so that I could commute in 10 minutes or less, or could ride my bike there, I’d absolutely come back. That’s highly unlikely, so I will likely be remote from here in out. I simply am uninterested in giving up the time I’ve gained in my life by eliminating my commute, and the freedom I’ve gained to live with my young family where we feel is best for us.
That sounds like a strong reason to unionize, then!
Putting on my philosophical hat for a minute, I would say that while humans have put in lot of social structures to counter evolutionary tendencies, they still slip through in all our interactions with other humans.
Ooh, nice! Having a Kotlin-native implementation will be a significant UX improvement over e.g. using my Rust age implementation via FFI / JNI behind a wrapper.

It also reminds me (again) of the cross-language plugin question. The CLI apps interact with plugins using an IPC protocol over stdin/stdout. The idea was that the plugin side of the IPC could be placed in front of a regular Recipient or Identity library interface, so plugin authors could offer both a plugin binary for any CLI app, and a plugin library that can be compiled into other apps of the same language. Libraries in other languages sit somewhere in the middle ^_^;; It's probable that e.g. my age-plugin-yubikey Rust code could also be wrapped via JNI and used directly as a library, but there's maybe an IPC-over-FFI approach that could work as well. It would definitely be nice if only the main age client needed to be ported to target languages (though it should be similarly possible for language ports of plugins to work).
And on top of that you don’t even need a business account. Individuals get the same service. I’ve ordered hard to find parts like tiny springs for home projects, just a few bucks. It’s amazing.
Complete rubbish. You're paying for value.
Well, a couple of states and cities have already banned it. There seems to be some momentum.
Important to note that the article doesn't give a source for how they know the bloody fingerprints exist, nor that police haven't tried to find a match. A simple Google result for "Paul Stine fingerprints" suggest they have been heavily analyzed and the term "bloody fingerprints" is misleading as there's only one with a slight trace of blood.

Fun fact: PICO-8 only provides turn-based trigonometric functions

https://pico-8.fandom.com/wiki/Sin

> PICO-8 uses an input range of 0.0 to 1.0 to represent the angle, a percentage of the unit circle. Some refer to these units as "turns". For instance, 180° or π (3.14159) radians corresponds to 0.5 turns in PICO-8's representation of angles. In fact, for fans of τ (tau), it's just a matter of dropping τ from your expression.
It's probably just me (I'm probably neurodivergent in some way) but in discussions like this people keep using the word "attractive" and I honestly have no idea what they mean by that word.

If you showed me two photographs of people and asked me which looks more "intelligent", which looks more "wise", which looks more "honest", which looks more "friendly", which looks more "approachable", or dozens of questions like that, I could have a go at answering the question. But if you asked me which looks more "attractive" I would have no idea how to answer.

Would I understand the question if it were phrased differently, or is the concept itself something that I have for some reason never acquired?

Does anyone else have this problem, or is it really just me?

(Sorry if this is a little bit off-topic: of course the original question doesn't use the word "attractive".)

Did you ever need to do involved mathematical manipulations using pen and paper? How would you judge the readability of the following expressions:

zero_point equals negative prefactor divided_by two plus_or_minus square_root_of( square_of(prefactor divided_by two) minus absolute_term )

zero_point = -prefactor/2 ± √((prefactor/2)² - absolute_term)

x = -p/2 ± √((p/2)² - q)
Yeah, that was such a sleazy move by these ML influences or whatever you call them. Have connections with government and the right degrees? Boom, now you taking photoshots with PM and syphoning hundreds of millions of dollars of public money. I think it's especially bad in QC where there is a lot of government support.

Part of it is identifying the bottleneck. You verified the chef wouldn’t be it, but the tables ended up being the limiting factor.

And say you installed 200 tables, but only get ten customers an hour - now the bottleneck is the input and that likely has to be solved by marketing or something exterior.

And maybe you get that fixed and now have 200 tables an hour, wnd discover your dishwasher can only handle 50 tables an hour. So you need more dishes (buffer) but that will only help until the poor dishwasher is washing dishes 24/7 and at that point the buffer will eventually run out.

Successfully modeling the system and identifying the point at which it will fail is useful, because then you can keep an eye on that point AND know if something unexpected is causing it to fail earlier.
Very good article, I think! Reveals many of the subtleties that are easy to get wrong.

----

> A common shortcut is to generate the load on the same machine (i.e. the developer’s laptop), that the server is running on. What’s problematic about that? Generating load needs CPU/Memory/Network Traffic/IO and that will naturally skew your test results, as to what capacity your server can handle requests.

This fear is overplayed, I think. A lot of production software is slow enough that load generation will not be a significant CPU/memory/network load. By worrying about this people miss other things that they should worry about much more.

----

> Run the actual load test for 1-5 minutes. (great numbers, huh?)

This is another common problem: for many garbage collected platforms (and platforms with other types of occasional delayed work), 1–5 minutes is not enough to trigger the pathological behaviour you want to test for. Some systems need to be loaded for 4–6 hours or more to see the full spectrum of behaviour.
This is just a word, which although originally means "fifteen days", it is actually used for "two weeks". The same thing happens in Spanish with "quincena" (which, confusingly, could also mean "fifteen days" or "half a month", at which point hilarity ensues).
This is also why a moon base makes so much sense:

* short enough that radiation issues can be swerved.

* can build shielded moon bases (or dig them?) to protect people on the moon itself.

* can mine the resources for and build heavy, shielded ships on the moon itself and launch far more cheaply.

* can also build (on the moon) the shuttles needed to ferry people from earth orbit out to the moon, making it so that the only people exposed to any radiation at all are the first crew to arrive on the moon and stand up a moon base.
>I’m under the impression that trigonometry is not extensively taught in middle schools and high schools in the USA

Basic trig is taught in middle school, but exclusively using degrees. Advanced trig is optional in high school if you take the "hard math" track.
Is he? Last update on V3 was 5 months ago. Last update from him was 3 months ago about a new studio.
If the op had claimed this is only about API design and efficiency, he'd get much less shit because he has a good argument there.
This is correct, "nedelya" (no-work) is the common Slavic word for Sunday. The Russian variant is a more recent invention.

IIRC it’s the local manager(s) who usually has to roll out and they do get an after hours fee.
This "standard model" had a SoC refresh too. And as said elsewhere in the thread, it's now cheaper in USD (how components are priced) than it was when GBP was at 1.30+.
The biggest pitfall I see is people inadvertently making them "smart" which causes massive headaches when debugging them.

As much intelligence as possible ought to be pushed down to and tested and debugged on the script level so that you're left with little more than a linear sequence of 4-5 commands in your YAML.

The debugging tooling on github actions is, frankly, abysmal. You need a third party ngrok action to even run ssh.
In my view, because pi crops up unavoidably in math, if you concoct a "unit" to get rid of pi in one place, it will simply crop up somewhere else, perhaps in a denominator.

For instance: The ratio of rise to run for small angles.

Working in optics, radians are such nice units: A milliradian is a millimeter per meter or a "mil" per inch.
Tom Cruise is 60 years old and got famous during a time a when average height for upper socioeconomic classes was lower. Is there any example more recent than him?

If he was auditioning for his roles today, I doubt he gets them. Especially because actresses are nowadays just as tall or taller with heels, why bother having to do all the work to make the actor look a little taller than the actress, when you can just hire another actor.

>Sports will lean towards whatever physical characteristics benefits the sport.

Of course, but in many popular sports, being taller and bigger makes you so much faster and stronger such that if you are first percentile in size, no realistic amount of talent will give you an advantage.

What is broken about for in? A quick search didn't turn up anything for me. I don't write much Javascript but for the times I do this seems like it could be useful information for me.
To elaborate a bit: that works because sin(x) is very close to x for small x, but only when x is measured in radians.
Sexism and racism....are huge areas of concern...whereas tall men and good looking people are treated much better than short men and ugly people...our morality, in the West, is inconsistent and arbitary..
I just started working remotely in a semi-technical role. Caveats being that I can only login from my own home unless I gain prior approval. It works so well for my young family that my forward momentum has slowed to a crawl, as I don't want to take a role with the potential to re-introduce multiple office visits and travel for at least the next few years.

I am living somewhere I am not from and it is hard to meet new people at this age. For that I will eventually welcome a couple of days a week in office. For now, not a chance.
I have fond memories of the Small parts catalog (and e-commerce site). Amazon bought them and then destroyed the ability to search. I've since discovered that the tubing and small screw portion of their company lives on as componentsupply.com.
Yeah, companies can run for a long time with low income, and individuals really hate selling at a loss, even if they end up dumping tons of “good money after bad”.

I could see people just holding and waiting (which is what I think is going to be the main thing happening).
Just to warn people; these are "hacks" for winning the twitter game for maximum following / engagement / look at me I am f'ing amazing.

They are also why twitter has become a cesspit of people trying to win at tweeting.
A Twitter ‘hack’ I love is muting “rt @“ in the Latest Timeline to remove all natural retweets. I believe this works because Twitter still stores retweets as “rt @user tweet_content” on the backend, and you can see this in various Twitter CLI tools.

If I could remove all Quote Tweets in the same way, my timeline would be perfect.
For like a $.5 part from McMaster? Are you on drugs?

McMaster is "expensive" but it isn't like they are charging a crazy amount of money. They are just expensive.

I still use them over randos tho bc I know I'm going to get what I ordered. I never did not, but if I did, I'd have the correct part maybe even same day.
Good news, optimization is engineering, not CS. CS is all about what a program would eventually do, if you were ever to run it. Once you run it, you have moved to the domain of technicians. Engineering is about making it run better.
That’s possible but due to the great invisible hands that created an opportunity for competition to come in with a lower price. There are many factors so it really depends.

But automation has really benefitted customers through lower prices and higher quality so it’s hard to expect that these robots would result in owners pocketing the savings over previous robots.

I don't really understand how this analogy works in terms of the actual practice of running load tests. You should of course test the full flow, the important part is not implicitly limiting the input volume based on the system performance. I think in your analogy it would be something about people queuing outside without you noticing but am unsure.

Also, to be clear, the bad thing is normally doing closed workload tests, not having a multistep workflow or whatever (https://gatling.io/docs/gatling/reference/current/core/injec...)
A turn doesn't have to represent an angle. It can also be a "cycle" in the oscillation.

I studied engineering, and pretty much everywhere where we needed the radian form with Pi, the mental reasoning was "one cycle, or repetition, or loop ot whatever is Pi". Never did Pi have any deeper meaning that helped understand the logic of the problem.
I have a near obsession with these instruments, and would love to try to build one. Excellent recording of this awesome recorder in action here:

Ironic reading the article requires an account.

FOSS software has truly changed how people do (and can do) software. Two related questions remain: who pays for the development of critical components, and more importantly, who pays for support? Can’t build a larger business on donations and hobbyists.

I really hope the altruism and the licensing holds as it’s great not having to make your own tools. And where effort can go into the product rather than said tools. Linux and cheap hardware have made a whole lot of people a whole lot of money, so maybe we’re good for the future?
Soldering Wires – Here's a different way
I could possibly just need to charge it depending on if phone batteries survive without charge. Sorry by dead battery I mean it's not been charged in ages. It's not exploded or anything.

I imagine I'll only get a couple of quid out of it so it's not worth bothering unless I'm batching it with other crap to sell (e.g. during a house move)

It's not about loyalty. It takes time for a new employee to be productive, especially in senior and leadership roles where understanding the context of the company is important, and building relationships is key to you performing your role. If you're gonna leave after a year it's not worth it to invest 6 months or more on ramping you up.

No, you can’t have a camera to film the public space without an authorisation.
The cars don't need all night to charge, and most people don't need a full charge every day. Unless you claim that with EV people will drive radically more, you will see the same thing where most people don't use their cars that often and thus they don't need to charge that much.

And lots of people with a car don't actually park on the street. Its usually an outside parking spot or a parking garage. Both can add electricity rather easily.

And simply remaining on ICE is just about 100x dumber. I prefer walking, biking and trains to, but cars will not go away, and transitioning those to EV.

I have seen study that suggest its not as big an issue as you make it out to be. Please show me the study that has realistic assumptions that claims it will be a huge problem.
I have a classic British accent. When I started teaching in foreign universities, I found that in meetings people would stop and listen to what I was saying… even defer to me. In the UK, I was just another Brit, is a sea of Brits, and thusly ignored.
