She was a judge, not the organiser, as far as I can tell, although it's great she was able to help, contingency planning is something more for the event organiser.
The contingency planning seemed to have been MTGMelee, with untested further contingency options of Challonge and YuGiOh!, all of which failed.

You were able to find one that looks like the format she needed, but what would you have done if it doesn't? Or if it's broken?

It takes time to review > 300 lines of code, and she was on the clock. Even if she is able to read 1 line per second, it would take her five minutes just to read through the code, without downloading it, running it, testing it.

I absolutely agree that there should be a review of the contingency planning, but having more confidence in your coding abilities than your ability to search Github effectively is not necessarily wrong.
If that 1% has >=28% of the wealth, then yes absolutely
Yes, because they are gaining more than rhe average share from the stability that a welfare state and legal system provides. If they want a lower tax rate they should move to a jurisdiction without expensive public services underpinning their success.
> The one doesn't excuse the other; if you're required to keep this data you should be treating it with the respect it deserves.

It kind of does. If Optus hires worlds most competent security person, the first comment on this subject would be "there is no commercial or technical upside to storing this data, and massive risks if it leaks. We should delete it immediately".

If the government swoops in and bans them from fixing the problem, it is a bit weird for the government to also penalise them for not fixing the problem. Optus is legally barred from putting an engineering solution in place to remove this risk.

Literally the only two outcomes here for Optus are:

Option 1 - wasted storage fees.

Option 2 - international scandal.

They aren't allowed to pick any other option. It isn't fair to get angry at them for a rather predictable outcome of spreading PII around. Sure with hindsight they could have done a better job of sticking to the first outcome, but seriously if they had the choice it would have been option 3 - take money, ask no questions. Maybe store a credit card number, maybe just use Paypal like a normal merchant.
Microsoft Windows also does this.
I use an extension called click bait remover that replaces thumbnails with an actual frame from the video. Also normalizes capitalization.
Adding nuance: it’s not that they put a price cap on energy prices (many countries in Europe do that), but the amount of money allocated to it.

Reading https://www.bruegel.org/dataset/national-policies-shield-con..., the UK allocates about double of what France, Italy and Germany allocate to it.
Wow. Thank you. This could be a post on its own.
It's been a while but I made a plotter for a client several years ago kluged a simple rs232 client that fed data to gnuplot as a plotter and they could also do some basic signal filters I put in the client. Gnuplot is good for quicky jobs where you want to graph things, even real time. Along the lines of what's going on here https://funprojects.blog/2020/09/10/gnuplot-realtime-plots-i...
In this title, Figma probably refers to the company, not the software product.
"Good for economies" does not mean much, and that's what distinguishes the left and the right.

Usually, the right-wing, and the "markets", agree on what is good for the economy. It is quite unique to see the "markets" disagree so strongly with "the right".

And it is also worth noting that it is quite rare to see left people use the view of Wall Street as an argument ! I remember many cases in Europe where socialists governement almost used it as an electoral argument that they would ignore "the markets" (or rating agencies) and not dictated their policy by what they said
I suppose you mean this YouTube channel - https://www.youtube.com/c/notjustbikes ?

It seems that it's hyping the idea of having good public transport, but that doesn't address the chicken-and-egg problem, does it? What I mean is, that most cities seem to have mediocre public transport, and people don't want to use it, so proponents of public transport can't get the budgets to improve it, because there's demonstrably low usage. So how do you use a limited budget to "hype and spin" the existing public transport to prove that your particular city would benefit from higher investment in public transport?

The only solution I see is to actually go and set up a new and better route, to prove that your city does in fact have demand for public transport.

Well, yes, there's always the option of bringing a case for insider trading (or possibly treason) for things like that.

It's hard to make more from shorting the pound than the loss across your entire estate from sterling crashing though, unless it's now common for wealthy conservatives to hold most of their assets in dollars instead of UK real estate.
Related question: in what metrics is such a market meltdown visible? The FTSE 100 is down like 4% or so in the last two days, and the pound lost 2% to the euro, those don't look like scary figures to me compared to past volatility. I guess I'm looking at the wrong metrics, so what are the relevant ones?
Yes, that's what all the people who like fossil fuels and Putin say anyway.

But everyone else has responded by accelerating the renewable plans that those same Putin and Fossil apologists kept blocking for whatever reason, so it might work out okay in the end.

Would have been nice just to have 4 decades of sensible climate action, cleaner air, healthier citizens, less terrorism, cheaper energy, warmer homes and no-one threatening to nuke Europe when they lose an Illegal war of conquest of part of it though.
There's a few language-specific projects out there. You can do it all using simple nginx / squid / ... caching, but with language-specific services you get more clever behaviour. Gemstash for example can handle the cached index serving only in cases if the upstream is not available. Apt-cacher-ng is nice for deb repos and can handle deltas.

So I recommend something like squid for "stuff in general" and specialised proxies for repositories you use often / care about more.
The genius of this proposal is that besides the implicit unnamed class, the other changes are all purely done to the program launcher program, no changes are proposed for the language at all.

And one could argue that quickly writing up some program happens often regardless of skillset (I do make at least two psvm Main classes per month), so the code reduction there is also a welcome change.
Yes, at a moment of inflation, they announce significant tax cuts which will have a big inflationary impact. The Bank of England was already behind on interest rate rises, and now the government is relying on them to not only counter global trends (high rates in the US causing devaluations basically everywhere), and also the inflationary effect of energy cost increases, but also extra inflationary tax cuts. That will force rates high (apparently the market is pricing in an increase to 5%), which will then cause big reductions in housing, and negative equity.

The thing I am confused about is why this happened at the announcement. The big measures had already been announced, an energy price cap (£60bn or more depending on wholesale gas costs), and reversal of planned tax increases in National Insurance and Corporation tax (about £40bn). The additional unannounced tax cuts were small (for instance the cut in top rate tax was £2bn). So it seems that most of the drop should have happened before.

Apparently the PM wanted the announcement to feel radical to distance her from the previous government, so maybe the markets were responding to the feeling of the announcement, and the implication of future radical ideological action, as much as the numbers.
Google does not send emails to spam just because it doesn't like the politics of what is being said in the email, so no, it's not the same thing.

Also when Google sends something to spam you can still read it. What "Amnesty International" is asking for here is making it impossible for people to read what some people say.
15-19 bar is way better. Nespresso operates in this range.
> Also, when you are that income level, there are a number of tax benefits you can enjoy - for example the first £40k you put into your pension is before tax - so it effectively reduces your salary (for tax purposes) by £40k.

It also reduces your actual salary by £40k, not just for tax purposes, if you'll never end up using your full pension. Either because you've died before doing so, or because the pension fund can't pay you out (fully) since it is increasingly underfunded due to a rapidly aging society.

Answer this honestly for yourself: if you are fairly young, say 25-35, what are the odds you'll see more money in your lifespan from £40k put into a pension now that may or may not be fully available after retirement, versus £40k minus tax invested into an index fund and accessible/reroutable whenever?
I agree that equality is a desireable goal. But, this argument doesn’t persuade people who don’t care about equality.

Better is to focus on the benefits gained bu the wealthy from stable legal systems, public health, education etc. If you are Bezos your money is only possible because these expensive services are paid for. You gin more than most, and so must pay a greater share than most.
Seems fair enough. They earn 14% of the income of the UK, and don't need marginal pounds nearly as much as people at the bottom end of the scale who need marginal pounds just to be fed and housed. They also pay lower percentages of their income on non-income taxes than most other British cohorts
Combined with an unfair voting system that means the majority who support several progressive parties cannot outvote a unified minority. The US has the same voting system problem.
That would make sense as all of those are the same plant, just harvested at different times and treated differently.

I think people should be judged by what they DO, not what ideal picture they put forward of themselves.

And as mentioned, the majority of kids were sent to elan school ... by youth services. Not by parents.

Was it "psychiatric best practice"? Probably not. Was it "psychiatry IN PRACTICE"? Yes, absolutely, for thousands of kids. It's far from the only such institution, or even the worst.

By the way, the very large majority of people who "help" kids aren't psychiatrists, a bigger part are social workers, and an even bigger portion don't have any training at all. That too defines what they do, what happens in practice. This sector doesn't follow any method or rules, they just randomly try things, whatever the individual randomly assigned feels appropriate.

You never go into expansionary fiscal policy during periods of inflation. The UK did that, it wasn't so much about the tax cuts, it was that they weren't matched with spending cuts.

Came as a surprise, in a nonscheduled budget & was the opposite of what was expected.

That got the gilts (uk bonds) to drop, and that got the currency shocked as the gilts were force liquidated. I wouldn't read too much into the currency bit, as every other currency is down against the USD, including the euro, yen and aud.
Sometimes they do, but it's a per-university thing. Where there are unions, usually faculty and TAs have different unions. Sometimes one group is unionized and the other is not.
I hope that lossy text compression never becomes popular, it should ideally remain a technological curiosity. Think of all the damage that can be caused by incompetence combined with usage of lossy text compression in the wrong places.

I think there is more value to a terse declaration of 'main()' than people think. In C#, you can declare a quite functional microservice under 90 lines of code with asp.net core's minimal api format. To this day I think the "enterprise style religious OOP+SOLID Java/C#" is something that has to go - so many applications that take 30 files and 4 projects could've been declared in 3-5 files with the most of core logic being in Program.cs that you can grasp within few seconds of looking at it.
Plex.

A local and self-hosted Spotify, Netflix, Google Photos, etc.

For coding and work I think it's unlikely to be productive for innovative things due to libs that you'd need not being available to you, i.e. `go get` won't work. You can do maintenance, etc and still be using Git but as soon as you encounter the "thing you needed to download you didn't know you needed" you're going to be stuck. As for Stack Overflow, there's a lot of joy in having a few good technical books to resort to and to fall back on reasoning about things a little more.

I would say an offline MDN would be very nice and it turns out that does exist https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/plus/docs/features/offli...

So perhaps the thing here is to encourage other sites to allow an offline mode with local storage.

If any of our US friends were wondering what that is in your currency, it's about 100 billion dollars (following our new PM's economic "experiments").

Both nuclear and renewables are expensive, when the externalities and hidden costs swept under the carpet by industry lobbies are considered.

Nothing beats free millions of years in the making energy stored on the ground for us to extract - but even that's non-renewable and getting more cumbersome and expensive to extract.
u do understand that most of the "renewable" model is to use gas/coal when there isnt wind or sun? guess who backed it... putin, biden and all the others ones that did not have nuclear as their main tech
It's easy to be technologically sovereign: just give up any technologies you can't produce domestically. Isolated tribes in Papua New Guinea manage to be completely self-sufficient, to give an example.

What's impossible is staying at the technological forefront while being technologically sovereign.
Although worth noting that luck plays a much larger role on most peoples success than is acknowledged. Uk and Us are also much less likely to recognise use role of chance in personal success than wealthy Europeans.
> So, it has now become against the TOS to have a third-party make requests on your behalf.

Me installing a third party FB client on my phone and making request through that is not a third party making requests to FB otherwise browsers would then have to be classified as third party. There is no requirement for a third party client to go through a third party server.
Absolute links would be great for CSS, but being broken when creating the page/browsing the files locally makes it a non-starter imo.
But if you're not careful, the delta between the compressed version and the original could be bigger than the savings from the compression.

In my armchair speculation for the case of severe lossy text compression, the delta/diff could easily get there, making a strong compression algo based on something like GPT-3 not really practical for doing lossless.
I bet far more people got scammed by malicious ads than people deciding to install malicious extension.
It is! At least in terms of raw minute pricing, though Depot builds are often faster than Actions, around 2-5x for Intel builds and closer to 10x faster for Arm builds, which affects the comparison a bit.

Our biggest cost at the moment is persistent disks. Each project gets its own SSD(s) that live for the lifetime of the project, and that's a major part of why Depot builds are so much faster and support BuildKit features that require persistent disks (e.g. RUN --mount=type=cache). We have some ideas for how we might improve this in the future, keeping the same or better performance profile but avoiding the continuously-provisioned disk, we'll see how that goes.

One note on "per project", each Depot project represents a pair of Intel/Arm VMs, each with a 50GB SSD. But there's otherwise no restriction on what you build using those projects, you can use a single project with multiple repos/Dockerfiles/whatever. Projects are the access control boundary, and building multiple disparate images using the same project would cycle the cache faster, but otherwise there are no limits on concurrency or what's building inside those VMs.
Thanks for your comment.
I've been following Penpot since last year and sometimes joined your livestreams :)

I really love that Penpot is sticking with standards and I think piggybacking on SVG might bring lots of cool features for free. I always thought that it would be very nice to embed custom stuff using the foreignobject tag that could enhance a live prototype (ie: videos, 3d content, real html+js, etc).

Use real scripting + SVG is a dream of mine to build a design system. You know many of us are hybrid devs and designers and sometimes pushing pixels here and there is too much work when a simple script can automate stuff :)

I hope you have a good plan on how to optimize the canvas since I found it my major blocker to use it together with the lack of autolayout (I know you are working on this last one :)

On the other hand, I'm a fan of Kaleidos and your business model and I'm very happy that you got the funding to speed up Penpot. Hopefully one day we could cross paths and have a chat!
The argument often made here is that the tv is being sold cheaper and then the value lost is made up with ads. My Samsung TV was pretty cheap compared to others but I just pointed it at my Pi-Hole and don't have that annoying ad anymore.

Between £100k and £125k your personal allowance is reduced to £0, so for every £1 you gain, you lose more of that allowance and that works out to a 20% reduction. That on top of the 40% rate equals 60%.
Don't know why you're down-voted when NHTSA agrees that's one of the factors. Quoting https://rosap.ntl.bts.gov/view/dot/56125 :

> During the first 9 months of 2020, driving patterns and behaviors in the United States changed significantly (Wagner et al., 2020; Office of Behavioral Safety Research, 2021). Of the drivers who remained on the roads, some engaged in riskier behavior, including speeding, failure to wear seat belts, and driving under the influence of alcohol or other drugs. Traffic data cited in those reports showed average speeds increased during the Q2 and Q3, and extreme speeds became more common.

At https://rosap.ntl.bts.gov/view/dot/58456 :

> Analyses of speeding behavior (driving faster than the posted speed limits) since the start of the pandemic reveal other changes. Cambridge Mobile Telematics (2021) analysis of telematic data suggested that as trips taken decreased by 50%, their measure of speeding risk increased by 45%. Further, they reported an approximate one third increase in speeding above pre-pandemic levels from November 2020 through March 2021.

Or from https://usa.streetsblog.org/2020/03/30/as-roads-empty-to-cov...

> “We do have fewer car crashes right now, because there are fewer cars,” said Jacque Knight, a St. Louis-based traffic planner. “But the crashes we do have are likely to be more severe because speed is the biggest determinant of serious injury and mortality — especially for pedestrians. Our hospitals can’t handle that right now.”

Some problems are too big to run even on these supercomputers. These machines are bound by extremely fast (speed/latency-wise) networks, and the work can't be scaled to multiple sites.

So yes, when you have a grand challenge, and no computer, you can't solve that challenge. You can continue playing with smaller versions of it though, but it won't give you the accuracy or detail you need/want.

So, the count is important, yes, but the capabilities of the clusters you have is also important.

Maybe I also won't get any of those exercise performance effects.

OSM offline maps are great! They came useful for me so many times when traveling. It doesn't even have to be an internet disruption.

When it becomes an immediate problem, the way nuclear radition is. So, never.

It's not just about impact, how densely concentrated and timely / pressing the impact is matters a lot.

Part of the issue are professional style guides for written English, and they vary. The biggest ones off the top of my head are AP, Chicago, and MLA. I love the Oxford comma as shown in the last sentence, but in the AP guide they do not use it and it is wrong to use it for their style.

English is the best and worst language we have currently on the planet because it’s such an amalgamation and continuing to evolve and branch in ways that are hard to keep up with sometimes. It’s hard not to end up chugy don’t ya know.
