No I get what you're talking about, I have worked in the UK job market for many years. You are under this illusion that those people work exactly every day of the year, in which case they might earn more than an employee who gets benefits. Which they don't. Even during good years being able to put more than half a year on the bill is rare. And now look at the last two years and tell me about job security for "full time contractors", go on. Especially when faced with medical issues.

I cannot recommend fastmail to anyone for the simple reason that if your account expires and gets deleted, anyone can create an account with the same email address and take over your identity. This seems like a massive security flaw.
It really doesn't take a lesson in finances to understand "money is important to have. I get money from work, which is not a sure thing. I should keep some money in reserves for when I don't have an income since jobs come and go".

As I understand it, it's not a windfall tax. That $8bn is not cash. It's the ownership of their businesses. My point is the government steals 95% of the business, and then what? Who would buy those shares to turn them into cash to spend on vaccinations (or whatever else)? Why would anyone buy shares that the government can take from them?

In your example of taking shares and giving them to other people, why would anyone buy them from the people they were given to? Why buy what the government will just take and give you?

While they do go up, users on legacy plan still pay cheaper. I am still paying $45 for the basically same feature as the current $50 plan.
I agree, ncdu is a great and easy to use command line tool.

On Mac OS, run for example:

ncdu -x --exclude /Volumes --exclude /System/Volumes /

This scans the root filesystem but excludes the Volume mounts specifically (the -x option to limit the scan to the current filesystem doesn't work properly on mac os).

> I have always kept in mind is that feature engineering is almost always the key difference between success and failure

I also developed an ML-powered service heavily relying on feature engineering

https://github.com/asavinov/intelligent-trading-bot Intelligent Trading Bot

Its difference from Didact is that this intelligent trading bot is focused on trade signal generation with higher frequency of evaluation. It is more suitable for cryptocurrencies but also works for traditional stocks with daily frequencies so it could be adapted for stock picking. What I find interesting in your work is the general design of such kind of ML systems relying on feature engineering.

LOL, maybe because video calls are not part of that?

that's what happens when you hire for "seniors" but pay junior salary: you get juniors occupying senior positions. Not surprised that's all you know - the industry does that a lot.
I used the Machintosh example because the use case you're talking about is a completely old fashioned way of intending "portable computing". Portable computing currently means being able to take your device out of your pocket and being able to use it on the go. The Intel stick certainly has its uses, but are unrelated from the topic at hand and strikes me as just an excuse to share something you do that you think is cool.
> heat iron to 370° Celsius

This sounds like way too much. Yes, with an iron you don't have the luxury of going just above melting point. It's a balance between heating up workpieces quickly (so that heat does not conduct too far) for what you need higher temperatures, not burning the flux and solder solidifying as quick as possible, because any movement in solidifying solder WILL reduce quality of the solder. Lower temperatures are almost always better than high temperatures.

You are better off getting powerful iron with good temperature control rather and keeping temperatures in working range rather than heating iron to very high temperatures and having it cool down during soldering if the iron cannot keep up with cooling. For soldering wires to a breadboard it may not be much of a problem (sans insulation burning off), but I would not risk damaging silicon with temperatures that high.

With 60/40 solder temperatures around 300 [290-310] are usually more than enough, depending on workpiece size.
Used FastMail as part of my big DeGoogle initiative last winter. Very happy with it. However, one of the main considerations of Fastmail vs. other providers is that the domains they used are 'Visa-free' in terms of spam catchment - everything gets through!

But some have noted that FM is an Australian service with some interesting issues around privacy and five-eyes surveillance.

For me, in the end, I had to pay that price (as well as the sensible prices of the service itself), because I really needed my business mails to arrive in people's inboxes.
A difference is in the number of times you use some operation.

For example, you expect to do a lot of pushes in vector so you can say about amortized time because it will hold on average and you can calculate running time from it and expected number of pushes somewhat precisely (with unknown constant multiplier which is independent of input data, on theoretical hardware at least).

On the other hand, an individual array is usually sorted only once. Here it is more appropriate to speak about average or expected complexity of quicksort which is O(NlogN) but in you particular run it may become either better or worse and this will noticeably affect running time, by a factor dependent of N value.

You can say about amortized time of quicksort though if you expect to sort different arrays a lot of times and you know their distribution, or at least the fact that they are sufficiently random shuffled or maybe sufficiently sorted beforehand.

Was this standard practice, or was your case a failure of the system? We have in Switzerland the KESB - children and adults protection they call themselves - which as concept is great but they run totally unsupervised so sometimes situations like the one you lived happen under our eyes. Example? Baby taken away without right to recourse right after birth from mother living on social support, under suspicion she was taking drugs (no other motivation).
This Discord aims to exchange with embedded and edge developers on new project development methodologies.

Many developers are exchanging on new ways to develop projects. Most of them are discovering more agile methods for their developments in order to implement these methods in their personal and at best professional projects.

Last week, a community member who works in the agricultural field, told us about a global change underway in their team of developers to no longer be constrained by hardware.

I think it is interesting for each developer to participate in the discussion to give his opinion, his experience, but also to learn from others by getting inspired.
> covid-19 changed the equation dramatically in favour of the scammers

I disagree. The same scam could be pulled any day of the year before the pandemic. And eventually those who saw the extreme profitability of this made a "plausibly deniable" outsourcing shop and ran things that way.
You should always own the domain your email is sent to. If this is the case then the solution to this problem is trivial with DKIM/SPF, if this is not the case then it does not matter what third-party provider you are using because this can always happen. Your complaint has nothing to do with fastmail.

My point is that drastic I/O adaptation almost always require UI/UX adaptations, which doesn't happen with these enthusiast projects.

>Home theater nowadays has no similarity with the interface needs of cable/satellite TV, so why would you be hung up on using the same remote control interface?

Because that's what people use. If we went by some "blank slate" argument then we could make a ton of things possible, but that's not what this problem is about. Additionally, even if you had a keyboard+touchpad combo, would you rather use your TV from your couch with GNOME or XFCE or would you prefer Kodi's interface?
If anything, this matching on an AST is very readable and elegant, and that just convinced me that the syntax of Python seems really good to write a parser.
I've given up... Now I always order the 4TB option with any new mbp I order. Like this I never have to think about diskspace. I know for a fact that there's a lot of useless junk that I shouldn't need. I know that devs are lazy about cleaning up disk space and long are the days of my 120mb hard disk on my 486 but after struggling with disk space growing uncontrollably in a 1TB ssd, I just can't be bothered dealing with that.

By doing this, I'm part of the problem. By not establishing boundaries and refusing to install apps like Xcode that are programmed to put as much trash as possible, I contribute to making it acceptable for developers to treat us like this but it's a fight I'll admit I've lost.
Does it? Set insertion is O(log n) and you need to insert n items.
Probably similar things going in all the other Apple stack. I backed up my phone which was using around 110GB data. Restored it to a new phone and voila, it was using 70GB-ish after downloading all the apps again and syncing everything off iCloud.

Everything was intact, there wasn't anything like Music etc cached in that 110GB (I deleted all these beforehand), photos were still high resolution stored locally... everything was intact, with around 40GB less usage.

Not surprised at this wallpapers cache at all.

That (3D-printing houses) is a non-solution or a solution to another problem.

When building a house, the actual structure (walls/beams/decks) is very, very fast to build, and if shorter times are needed, pre-fabrication is an already tested and working solution.

What takes time is before:

- site preparation

- excavations

- cableworls, pipes, etc.

- foundations

and after the naked structure is built:

- internal walls

- electric/hydrulic/etc. plants

- floors, pavement

- bathrooms and their fittings

- decoration/painting

- insulation/roof/waterproofing

- tests (if needed), etc.
Governments fund research. It is healthy if civil society discusses this kinds of things. Especially if it's not some populist politician that wants to defund physics, but an experienced physicist that makes clear points.
Today, both integer addition and multiplication is IMHO done in similar speeds in silicon, although multiplication circuits are way larger.

In the logarithmic representation, multiplication becomes addition. I don't think that just by doing everything in logarithms you really increase the overall complexity, rather you transfer it from multiplication onto addition, so I don't think adding logarithms should be more expensive than integer multiplication..

Should it then matter for neural networks, which IIRC require similar amount of additions and multiplications?

Even floating-point is actually trading off the simplicity of addition in order to make multiplication easier, because they are quasi-logarithmic representation.

However, I wonder if there is a numeric representation where the circuits for addition and multiplication are of similar complexity. Something like half-logarithm, which if applied twice, you get the logarithm.

That's not what the author means by "useful". If you spend a year describing a particular kind of plant, then you know that much more about it and that's a useful contribution to science if not society. If you keep coming up with zany theories and predictions that do not just turn out to be wrong (that's fine, "I've successfully found 10,000 ways that will not work") but where there's really no reason to even suppose they might have been right, then that's scientific busywork.
It's like the entire discipline is getting paid to keep adding epicycles.

So - yes - that's a problem.

Looks a lot like the original EeePC. I used one for a couple of years but there was no doubt it was cramped. I still have it and it works. My N900 was fun but didn’t last quite as long before a bit of flex killed the wireless radios. I replaced it with an iPhone 4S and haven’t looked back: I still use open source software every day but running on, or accessed by, (excellent) Apple hardware (the M1 MacBook Air and iPhone 13 mini are the best computers I’ve ever had).
But on the flip side, good luck making any kind of sensible Gmail account for example, which means either fastmail needs multiple domains or their service will see new customers reducing over the years as people can't get sensible email addresses.

The same thing is true of phone numbers, but it's more obvious that there's a finite number of... numbers... So they need to be reused eventually.
I recently posted here that I sold cars for 10 years. I can not even imagine asking someone "what can you afford?" It sounds half condescending and half way too personal/inappropriate.

People come to the dealership and ask for certain cars. Sometimes they do ask about payment ranges, and so you tell them. If they say "oh that's more than I thought, I was trying to keep it under $500 a month. Is that possible?" I tell them if it's possible via lease with $4k down or maybe on a 72 month loan. They decide. What else am I supposed to do? Go full Dave Ramsey on them and figure out if they can really afford $500 a month?

The FEW times I tried to save someone from buying an expensive used car I just KNEW would eat them alive in repairs, it was always taken very poorly, and that's with me doing it pretty tactfully in my opinion.

People that are the type to make bad financial decisions (in our opinions let's say) don't exactly take kindly to lowly 'car salesmen' implying they can't really afford something.

I’m getting 70mops byId and 23mops qs-#id. This looks like making a huge difference until I add these cases:

3: "abc”.replace("a", "b")
4: "1" * 2

Which result in 15mops and 74mops respectively. This test measures diameters of neutrinos so to say.
I'm one training short of hypoxic trimix (after a regular trimix course). I think you seriously over-estimate the complexity: open-water course is 3 days, advanced open-water is 2 days, nitrox is ... half a day?, basic tech diving (advanced nitrox + decompression procedures) is 7 days (50-100 dives minimum iirc), trimix is another 7 to 10 days.

Loads of people I know did all that without any difficulty and without leaving their day job. They weren't in the navy either.

The most advanced thing that I see here is how do you trigger the explosion underwater, plus of course getting the explosives somewhere.

One must build elaborate, implausible motivations for everyone in order to maintain the "It's definitely Russia" theory when there are more plausible, direct motivations to hand in the "Anyone but Russia" theory.

Who stands to benefit from permanently ending European dependence on Russian fuel?

Norway? To conclude Norway (it's not Norway, but for example), one can simply point at the loss of a competitor. No weird 4D chess, no weird contorted motives. Direct, simple.

To conclude a German opposition group, one can simply point at the effect of the loss of the pipelines. Scholz government cannot heat Germans this winter, opposition gets to criticize the sitting government for over-reliance on Russia and such fragile infrastructure. Opposition wins the election. No weird 4D chess, no weird contorted motives. Direct, simple.

To conclude any one of the Baltic States (or Poland), one can simply point at the effect of the end of European dependence on Russian energy. It removes the most persistent barrier to implementing harsher sanctions, and a weaker Russia is less likely to invade them for a generation or two. No weird 4D chess, no weird contorted motives. Direct, simple.

Poland, for its part, has the added lucrative benefit of being the sole endpoint of the sole working trans-Baltic pipeline. No weird 4D chess, no weird contorted motives. Direct, simple.

To conclude anyone at all who support Ukraine, one can simply point that it weakens Russia's war effort, hastening an end to the war and making Russia more vulnerable to sanctions. No weird 4D chess, no weird contorted motives. Direct, simple.

To conclude Russia or Putin, one must explain how losing potential access to hundreds of billions of Euros benefits Russia or Putin. (Hint: it doesn't). Requires weird 4D chess, weird contorted motives. Not direct. Not simple.
As someone who moved from Brave to Firefox recently and also missed PWA support, the first thing I did was install that extension and it's not bad!

A little tedious to setup, especially as the PWAs all get new profiles with their own extensions, themes, etc. But other than that, it works fine.
That's something I wondered too, but I doubt it. The model used to explain benzene's bonds superficially sounds like superposition, and I can't really speak about the electrons involved (way too complex for me to even imagine), but when you look at the nuclei involved, it sounds implausible that the superposition of irregularly-positioned nuclei results in regularly-positioned nuclei. Implausible because they are too heavy and therefore localized.

But that's my layman's knowledge. I'd like to be corrected!
May I suggest you look at this project that combines the Dexcom with your pump along with software.

I feel like we've been infantilising people too much lately. There has never been better, easier, and more accessible access to knowledge than today.

That happens plenty. They're not victims. They just have different values and preferences.

One of the biggest issues we face in the industry is the lack of reusability in software

Disagree with this core premise.

The biggest problems we face are that every developer is coached into believing everything they make needs to be unicorn scale and quality, that everything they build should conform to impractical levels of scrutiny and long-termism and that it is unavoidable for even basic development needs to have incredibly high levels of complexity in code / build / release tooling.

Microservices are just the latest weapon in furthering this agenda for the good of a tiny minority of people who value indulging their time and business costs in esoteric software philosophy goals.
