There is also the problem that if you pay off your debts at a faster rate than people spend off their savings your debt will shrink at the rate others are spending their money, not at the rate you are paying it off. If we expect people to be personally responsible why do we treat them as if they aren't when they do the right thing?

This is why we can't have nice things.

> Isn't the point of lowering one's lap dance prices to get more customers to buy them?

Of course, that's why they lower prices. But you spent all your money on food, so you don't have any left for a lap dance.

edit: My point is that not all goods are equal. In normal times, if the price of a lap dance is too high I'll find some other entertainment with a price I find reasonable. But when food gets expensive, I still need some.

I'll argue the corner of bioinformatic file formats here. The main ones are FASTQ, SAM, BAM, VCF, and that format that GATK's DepthOfCoverage spews out.

FASTQ is a plain text format, and is usually gzipped. This is usually not a problem, as the only thing that's going to happen to a FASTQ file is you're going to shove it through an aligner, and a single thread can un-gzip that file fast enough to keep a lot of cores busy doing the alignment.

SAM is basically used for nothing, except very briefly as an output from the aligner before it is promptly converted into BAM.

The BAM format is actually sensible. It's compressed and indexed. There's an alternative format out there called CRAM, which can be a little more efficient, but you need to ensure that some external files are still available in order to decompress it.

VCF (and gVCF) files are text, and they are usually gzipped. Whether they are gzipped or not, they usually have an accompanying index file that allows any section to be accessed without having to sequentially read through. This is possible with the gzipped version because a variant of gzip called bgzip is used that compresses blocks of data, and locations of the start positions of those blocks are stored in the index.

The DepthOfCoverage file format - OK, I don't have any defence of it. It's just huge. If you're storing the read depth for a single sample, it uses about 24 bytes per location, to store a single number that's usually less than 256. So, a typical file for a whole genome sequencing sample would be around 75GB. It also has no index. A few months ago I decided to write an alternative file format, which delta-encodes then huffman-encodes the number in blocks, and uses about 1.3 bits per location, and includes an index, so that 75GB file is now 0.5GB and is a heck of a lot faster to read.

As an aside the GATK DepthOfCoverage is a fairly dire example of slow software. About 7 years ago I wrote my own DepthOfCoverage, which produces the same results but runs about 50 times faster. It wasn't hard. And because the BAM file format is sensible, yes it does access the files in parallel as you suggest.

There are advantages of text file formats. The format is unlikely to be non-readable in 10 years. You can just load it up in less and have a read. The text format doesn't stop it being compressed and indexed and accessed in parallel. But yes, the data could often be stored in a more efficient manner.

Finally, if you're finding that your server is regularly under-utilised, then you aren't doing load-management properly. You should use a queuing system that knows for each job how much RAM and how many CPU threads are used, and therefore how many can be run simultaneously.

funds accosted, dumped into Tornado cash, the end. thats the whole story.

we don't know what happens on the other side, we don't know when funds are taken out to the other side. that should have been what happened in this case. Gary should have looked like a lucky crypto speculator that paid tax on a long term capital gain. There were hundreds of thousands (maybe) of people with that tax profile that year. Wow so early in Sol Shiba Inu NFTs such gains.

Then at least the compiler should complain, when you try to combine incompatible features.
Seems like this legal construct is very inefficient at "seizing" bitcoins.

Bitcoin is a bearer asset like no other. A house, cash, your gold stash, etc., when "seized", can be used by the state without consulting you once you are put in a hole (rightfully or not).

The state has to adapt to this kind of new asset. The closest that existed before was burying your tangible assets somewhere without anybody knowing about it. But this is just not feasible for many assets obviously, and still very cumbersome when you want to use them. With Bitcoin you just need to generate private keys offline properly to achieve the same purpose.

Just for curiosity: what was the purpose of "disown"? If I recall correctly, it was used so the shell you used to launch the process didn't kill it using a "hang" signal or something like that. But I made a quick test and my shell doesn't seem to kill the background process launched from it, at least when I quit using ctrl + d.
Hey Trump is looking for a lawyer who will tell him just that. No qualifications necessary (or desirable) except that you just tell him everything he wants to hear, and trust he won't decide not to pay you, lie to you expecting you to repeat it in court, throw you under the bus, say racist shit about your wife, then send an angry mob of confederate surrender flag wielding MAGA mouth breathers to burn your house down.

I read a lot of papers I find on Google Scholar, and it's very common that they are wrong, or don't accurately survey related work, or pointless. For an overview of a field or a subfield, you want a review paper, and TAOCP is the best review of algorithms I've found. It's true that some of the volumes are outdated, but in many areas the new work is incremental.

Consider, as an example, Fascicle 5b, Introduction to Backtracking. His citations in the first 25 pages are from 1899, 1918, 2017, 1957, 1967, 1963, 1900, 1947, 1882, 1848, 1849, 1850, and 1960. Had he somehow managed to write this chapter in 01968 instead of 02019 he would only have been missing one of them, though surely the illustrations and experimental results of his own he reports would not have been as excellent, and surely the overall framing of the section benefits from the additional 61 years of hindsight.

In fact, although enormous progress has been made in backtracking in recent years, it hasn't affected the introductory aspects of the question. But clearly you can learn an enormous amount about backtracking without straying into the literature of the current millennium.

The one thing that baffles me with SEO is how it's just guesswork yet is a massive business. It's like promising to someone that you'll get their name listed sooner in the phonebook without any control over the phonebook itself, and then that person pays you to do it.

It's no different, since we have no control over Google's ranking mechanism and they won't explicitly tell you what the algorithm is (and change the rules daily), so it's just guesswork.

Baffling an entire colossal "industry" is built from guesswork.
If you're going to rewrite the headline, could you at least not make TWO typos in the guy's last name? Sigh.
I'm sure this kind of thing feels emotionally satisfying to say, but if you think about it for a moment, it doesn't make any sense. It's like saying that RSS is a shit hole, that no one will want to use a feed reader "amongst the nuts and Q's".

It would be practically impossible to drive the price up to 60 dollars. The only way you can do that is credibly prove you're willing to buy the entirety of Twitter for more than $54.20 per share, because if you do anything less than successfully buy a controlling stake, and force the board to renege on the deal (which they legally might not be able to do, but Elon might be happy to allow to happen), then whatever share you bought would then be sold to Elon for $54.20 due to the already agreed legally binding contract.

That's why we need more cooperation between researchers and actual software engineers and less "I can also code!" thinking of researchers. Yes they can, but please in their free time or publicly, so that actual software engineers can chime in and stop bad design from happening. Well coding in public is of course also no guarantee and neither is hiring a software engineer, but at least the chances are better for something useful to come out of it.

It's not single anecdote, I see people holding phones everywhere - on sidewalk, in bus, when paying at checkout, in restaurants, in shops, etc. I am yet to see single person holding folding phone, but I can see daily hundreds of phones in people's hands.
This is really an absurd fantasy. People would not have pressured tech companies to censor for years if there was any market demand for more censored platforms. People know how to use the block button, and the only reason they demand censorship is to prevent other people from seeing something that offends them, which an alternative to twitter doesn't solve.
did you even read the chess.com report?

> In fact, Magnus has only played 4.g3 twice previously (both before 2010), and the position after Hans
castled on move four had never been seen in any of Magnus’ games. Hans in a later interview commented
that Magnus had previously played the opening against Wesley So in the 2018 London Chess Classic,24
but there is no such game on record.25 Magnus did play a g3 Nimzo-Indian against Wesley So in a rapid
game in Kolkota in 2019, but the move order and emerging position in that game had no similarities to
the game against Hans. Hans’s 9...cxd4 had only been played once previously, in a June 2022 Titled
Tuesday game between Rasmus Svane and Stelios Halkias.
Judging from the comments, looks like there is demand for zero knowledge speech and video processing.

Stocks/real estate are mostly owned by richer people (and 401ks). There was plenty of inflation in luxury goods. Watches, private jets, art. Prices went through the roof.

I think with lyrics most people don't give them a second thought and don't realise what the person is singing about. Most people can't even tell you which instrument is being used in a part of a song.

This is different to visual art - most people can play spot the difference no problem, but with audio most people are deaf to the details, and the lyrics!

Eg. My Sharona - most people don't realise it includes the lyric "I always get it up for the younger kind"....
In addition to others here posting relevant documentation, let me point out one more thing. Those two words "hard reset" standing together (even on their own) should bring up a mental image of alarm bells and red flashing lights.

As if a "reset" wasn't bad enough, they're giving you an extra dangerous option to go with it, "I want it hard".

Git is an insanely powerful software, but that power doesn't come free.

How often would you say you get false positives with your Model 3?
Really enjoying IF and it's had enormous benefits for me. The doc

the serious telling-off I got 6 months ago. I'm not using someone
else's schedule, just listening to my body and pushing boundaries as
hard as my fitness will allow.

But there are mental "downsides" to reckon with.

It's not grumpiness, but rather a "predatory" state. Not quite
aggression - a little more of the warrior mode circuits seems switched
on. Plus general heightened emotion and general willingness to speak
the truth, fight/defend others, take risks.... Working out how to deal
with that and integrate it positively is my present challenge.

Anyone else getting that?

Cheating is common in e-sports, but it is rare in high-level competitive e-sports. Sure, you may be a 'gaming chair enthusiast', using a cheat when in your online Apex or Forntite pub games, but you can't bring it with you to a tournament.

Starcraft is about the only e-sport where I can see tournament cheating providing a very large advantage for a single bit of information - a player who can be notified that he is being all-inned would have a huge advantage in tournament play.
> They likely just want a safer car

Are modern pickup trucks objectively safer than modern cars, or is it more about the perception of driving something that feels it's half way to being an armoured vehicle?

In Europe almost no-one drives around in a truck. Even the tradespeople (carpenters, plumbers, roofers, gardeners, heating installers, you name it) all drive light vans, not trucks.
Marx wrote a famous piece called "Fragment on Machines". It actually predates Capital volume 1. He talks about the mix of knowledge and labour to produce machines that are capable of transforming nature (doing labour).

From here, Marx explores a world where labour can be produced entirely (or almost entirely) by machines, for him machines are capable of undoing capitalism. The so called post-scarcity society. I think the key part here is that software is actually capable of replacing large portions of labour; think about how much book keeping work is saved through Excel. But what happens when capital owners own all the machines, what happens to people? This is a fundamental problem that Marx explores through out his whole work.

I think OSS is actually what machines should look like for Marx, available for everyone at the cost of production and upkeep of the machines which in our case is the cost of copying and storage of the bits that compose the software. But Marx through out his work also explores deeply the relationship between labour and capital, and obviously producing machines requires labour!

I know you're probably joking, but I we can learn a lot about OSS from Marx. I mean, a big part of Stallman's philosophy behind the free software movement is inspired by marxist ideas.
They will decide to not eat because the medium of exchange is scarce. Some rich people see their big bank accounts go up in value and keep it there but poor people will keep spending until they have no money. Because the medium of exchange is blocked they can't sell their labor to obtain a medium of exchange which they can then use to buy food.

Deflation is like turning off the internet and no longer being able to pay with your credit card but it also affects paper money. The problem isn't a lack of productivity or a lack of capable workers.

If the medium of exchange didn't act as a gatekeeper people would keep trading in some beautiful purely theoretical economic model via barter.

How do we keep money flowing without inflation?
They are just not overpaying debt, which makes no sense when the rate of outstanding debt is way below inflation.

From that perspective, anything always ends up in the top of the top of megacorps, and I find it not a very compelling argument to not help people just because they’re at the mercy of megacorps.

You want to tax these megacorps additionally yes, especially if they’re profiting from the current situation. But at the same time, it’s also important to redestribute that wealth towards those who have the biggest problems right now.
He is not in charge of maintaining a chess database. Did Magnus played this before: yes. Can Hans have know about this: yes. Can he have studied this line because Magnus played it before: yes. Was the line exactly the same: no, he explained that he spent several minutes to evaluate if the transposition was possible. Very credible (contrary to Magnus insinuations)

There are a lot of nice things with netlink. This provides a unified interface to the whole networking stack, where everything is consistent.

To me, the main advantage of netlink is the multicast mode, where you can subscribe to certain class of events. e.g. route add, neighbor add, etc.

Also, a lot of linux software for the networking domain interfaces with netlink, so they gain freebsd compatibility for, well, free. For example, you get FRR compat now.
