> Do you give it a starting point and apply it to a bunch of elements like some giant automata like game of life?

Roughly speaking yes. Divide all into a grid of cells. Model a cell state with a bunch of numbers, apply some rules to update cell state with neighbors. The trick is to figure out rules of updating state. One needs to write differential equations first, incorporating all relevant physical processes into them, and to transform equations into those rules of updating, which will be a way more complex than with Game of Life.

Though it may be even more complex, like different time steps at different time-points, or changing a grid of cells to increase details in some areas where much is going on by slowing down simulation. Most of complications are due to a limited abilities of our computers: the idea to get more precision by calculating less.
Yes and no. The range for a senior web dev outside of London writing PHP and JS is pretty big - jobs start at about £40k for someone building Wordpress sites and a bit of JS, and go up to £90k for someone working on full stack JS apps in fintech or ecommerce. Inside of London (or remote working for a London company) it goes up to around £110k. Obviously outliers exist too at both ends of the scale. If you want more than that you're looking at 'architect' title, or maybe some sort of leadership or CTO role.

To be honest, the wages are quite low compared to other tech centres. As someone in the UK I'd definitely like them to be higher.
New job.

Difficult to see a path forward here.
“My field” is a 20+ year MS ecosystem developer from C++/MFC, VB6, .Net Compact framework, .Net Framework, .Net Core, etc.

As I said, very few new companies that aren’t “legacy” shops are choosing .Net.

In my current job in cloud consulting at $BigTech, almost all of the .Net projects that come through are older companies compared to newer companies that are using non compiled languages.

These days I write in almost any language they prefer among the popular languages.
And they would be guilty of misleading the consumer when doing so, and possibly accounting fraud as well because neither GAAP nor IFRS recognise such a calendar; the closest available is the 4-4-5 standard.

This is why we don’t let engineers write contracts. Many seem to think that law is a programming language in which they can redefine reality. It ain’t.

Thanks.

I don't think the fleet would make the best target. Ukrainian territory or not, the Sevastopol military base was always Russian (initially on rented ground, then in annexed Crimea). NATO has no real interest in attacking Russia itself, and will probably avoid even appearing to.

If it intervenes directly (still a big if), I'd mostly guess strikes against Russian bases inside Ukraine - that's the least interpretable action, and technically it's even an obligation for US under the Budapest Memorandum. The George Bush carrier strike group is currently in the Adriatic Sea, with eastern Ukraine barely within Tomahawk range, flying over NATO countries only.

It's traditional and professional for the journalistic and business sides of a publication to operate independently. It's not perfect, and it's gotten weaker over time, but this article is an example of it operating correctly.

Without this division we wouldn't have an article without annoying banners, we would have the business side killing the article for promoting an ad blocking browser ("don't you realize how we're funded!")

Also inversely, there are non cookie things which do need consent, like server side fingerprinting, which is why the "just turn off cookies in your browser" suggestion here and from some noncompliant sites doesn't cut it
Also the `any` type [1]. It makes porting an existing project ridiculously easy: just type everything as `any`, and it also gives freedom to the developer to think in code when developing, trusting that they (will) know what they are doing, instead of screaming at the smallest mis-type with annoying bright red squiggly lines.

It is so liberating to type a variable as `any` when sketching new code, figuring things out, that I would venture to say that any language not having the `any` type actually actively hates the developer.

Actually, there aren't really subcontractors. There _is_ a registered company called CCC Veranstaltungs Gmbh (CCC Events Inc.) which more-or-less owns a lot of the equipment (sound stages, lighting, ...) and nominally rents the venues and such, so that if the conference goes bust, there's a legal entity that can go bankrupt instead of individuals, but that's about it.

Food stalls are not hired by the CCCV GmbH, they pay to be there (and in turn get to dictate their prices), video streaming and such is handled by FEM e.V. (a non-profit that specializes in this kinda stuff) and is not paid (except for expenses, I think, but I don't have insights into that part of the finances) and truck drivers and such are actually volunteers.

"The people running this thing" are also volunteers. They do get a bit of money as an exchange for having to take unpaid vacations way in advance of the event for organizing stuff, but it's a far cry from "well paid". It's more of a "here's enough to not go broke on rent and food".

How did you divine this? Actually never mind: the OP is working off of either a quote from somewhere else (not the submission) or a mock-statement which is supposed to be said by people he/she disagrees with. What a confusing subthread.
My surprise was about it being blocked. I can get over not reading it. Apparently it was blocked some while ago but it not my go to news source. I guess the block is a political statement rather than a fear of UK citizens being brainwashed.

That is your conclusion. I just asked question. Which is, for you, automatically concluded. But you still gave me no answer for that question, which could be really considered as offtopic.
Blaming web developers for this is so out of touch.. since when are the developers in charge of product? It's like blaming a construction worker for the poor architecture of a building. Come on..
Ya, those people _are_ the government. They would love to be able to fob all their problems off on some faceless beaurocracy (like the UK government did with the EU for years), but the buck stops with them. We should be challenging our leaders' priorities and the outcomes of their decisions (and not just in democratic countries) .
That is still not a reason to hide price. At a minimum publish the range, but in the modern age these is very little reason a matrix or wizard could not be created to get that price.

They are not a different category. This is a distributed database, network errors and node failures are a fundamental part of its function.

Fundamentally every distributed protocol has a moment where it may have to tell the client it has abandoned the operation, but already has in flight messages to remote replicas that would result in a decision to complete the operation.

Before that operation is answered by the replicas, the operation is in an unknown state. It is fundamental. Some slower approaches to reaching decisions may mask this problem more often, but it is there whether you realise it or not.
Sometimes radical changes are necessary.

> The internet isn't trying to be "reality"

> Obviously comparisons will be made to actual reality for technologies that use the same word in the name.

You are getting distracted by a naming convention. If we called VR something else, without the word "reality" those points don't even make any sense.

VR is not a reality replacement. Like all technology it augments reality.

(I hope my intentionally interesting word choice of "augments reality" doesn't distract you from what the sentence means. As with VR, the meanings of words interpreted as a phrase, vs. interpreted individually, often mean related but different things.)

Virtual reality will be judged based on its own use cases. Given the ergonomics of VR hardware and software are rapidly advancing, seemingly compelling new use cases are being identified with interesting beta's and preliminary-shipping demos, and we haven't even seen a platform that delivers seamless navigation or co-navigation across apps (as the web provides for sites), I would say the potential has hardly been tapped.
I want to use your comment to outline a broader criticism of what Brave is about nowadays. In this case, it should be obvious that even Firefox is more innovative than Brave - Firefox plans to auto-reject based on intelligent patterns. This should, if done right, take care of almost all cookie prompts, especially if they also add a filterlist.

Brave has been in the business of blocking ads for a long time. Surprisingly it took them years to come up with cookie banner blocking, even though all they do is include a list maintained for free by easylist maintainers. This could have been implemented already 2 years ago without much effort.

What's going on at Brave? Is everyone busy with crypto-stuff?

Brave should work on detecting cookie-banners, even if they are not blocked by some list.

The Brave Browser looks like they abandoned many important things because they are focusing on crypto - the UI is very basic, the customization is not better than Chrome, and due to the addition of many optional features, some users have reported the browser slowing down significantly. Maybe they should offer different installers for different audiences.

People have asked about new-tab page customization for a long time. People have asked to have the uBO-functionality ported to the built-in Brave Shields, including cosmetic filtering, and granular control. People have asked for Brave to not activate the new-tab background sponsored images by default, which is in conflict with their user-first ideology. The VPN ad for guardianapp on iOS is too prominent and shows that they try to push it to increase revenue.

If Brendan Eich is worried about ROI, he should start putting contextual ads on his search engine, instead of focusing on in-browser ads.
Hotwire is created by Basecamp which also houses the main creators of Rails.

Basecamp has been around for ~20 years. I have a lot of confidence that it'll be around and supported because it's a substantial part of the stack involved with a real world application that is their primary business. It's also from a group of folks who have an impeccable track record for supporting the tools they use.

Thanks, just to make sure I am not missing anything, those are examples of presentations, but the proposals that were submitted for them are not provided, right?

Looking for them myself, found to guides to research and submitting proposals which I added to the original request for examples; neither though appear to provide actual submission examples.
I was in a meeting on Cognitive AI at the Royal Society in London last week where a gentleman from Stanford presented work where GPT-3 was prompted to solve math equations step-by-step and did well (better than I would have expected). Point being, if GPT-3 can do it, DALL-E should also be able do it, and testing whether that is the case is not stupid, but interesting.

The big question with systems like those image generation models is to what extent their generation can be controlled, and how much sense it makes. This is exactly the kind of testing that has to be done to answer such questions. Just flooding social media with cherry-picked successes doesn't help answer any questions at all. Because cherry-picking never does.

To be honest, I don't get the defensiveness of the comments in this thread. Half the comments are trying to call foul by invoking some rule they made up on the spot, according to which "that's not how you should use it". The other half pretend they knew all along what the result would be, and yet they're still upset that someone went and tried it, and posted about it. That kind of reaction is not coming from a place of inquisitiveness, or curiosity, that is for sure. It's just some kind of sclerotic reaction to novelty, people throwing their toys because someone went and did something they hadn't thought about.

> Try getting a landscape in the style of vincent van gogh for 10$ on fiver though.

In another comment posted in this thread I tried to get Stable Diffusion to give me a graph with three lines in the style of van Gogh and other famous artists. I'd be very curious to see what that would look like and I can't imagine it easily. I'm left wondering, because Stable Diffusion can't do it. Maybe I should ask someone on fiverr.
I think two things get mixed up (not by you)... a lot of sites, especially American ones, only started showing any kind of notice/request for consent once GDPR came in. But there was another wave before that, which everyone called the "cookie law" but which is apparently the ePrivacy Directive.

A couple of interesting bits from https://www.privacypolicies.com/blog/eu-cookie-law/

"On the other hand, providing your customers with a customized user experience or tailored product suggestions is not a requirement for an online store, and cookies that enable these features do not fall under the "strictly necessary" category. You'll need to get consent before you use them."

"Depending on your country's interpretation of the law, you may only need to get a user's "implied consent." Rather than forcing every user to click "accept" ... you can instead display a short message informing them that cookies are being used, typically through a header bar or some other non-obstructive method. After a predefined period of time ... the announcement can disappear."

I think what happened is that a lot of sites went for non-compliance or implied consent until the GDPR came in requiring proper consent for most cookies and harsher penalties (?) and everyone went from 0 to 100. But people were complaining about & blocking even the implied consent banners when they first came in. Now everyone thinks the GDPR is about cookies but it's really about tracking.

Then it is a correct translation, as that is what insubordination means.
> small hurdles spike my anxiety, my anger flares at the slightest confrontation, I notice fewer jokes, fewer attempts on my part to make people laugh. My memory goes to all hell too and I can’t seem to concentrate on prolonged amounts of anything. Books fall off my radar, I stop listening to music. My phone is in my hand at all times, scrolly-anxiety-inducing apps become impossible to avoid.

This describes me perfectly. Unfortunately I can’t take a break because it’s entirely due to being the parent of young children.
"ongehoorzaamheid" means disobedience. Even in the context of raising children it seems pretty unfashionable nowadays. It has the air of authoritarianism that in my experience modern Dutch parents try to avoid. I wouldn't consider it acceptable in the context of employment relationships (except perhaps in military positions).
Yes, I use it for timers, a lot of keyboard shortcuts, app launching etc. Curious to discover more inventive uses for it though!
> It's men. Almost all men.

2/3 means almost all ?

I guess unless it had been women, then it was a "reasonable amount, but women could have been even better represented"
I think we are, luckily, in a place today where we have better replacements for nuclear power, but...

This "report" has always seemed confusingly named to me. I believe it's actually issued by an anti-nuclear organisation despite the name which might make you believe it's the industry itself or at least some representative of it issuing the report.

If you were against the Iraq War then you could demonstrate in D.C. If you are against a Russian invasion as an American you can’t protest next to the Kremlin. You have to protest against aiding arms (not necessarily humanitarian aid), which might look like “aiding Putin”.

This is the way.

We do all of our issues in gitlab, and PM deals with jira, which is required by corp.

Kind of like in the olden days when corp required clearcase, so we did our work in git and used rsync to put stuff in clearcase once in a while.

Most of Canada - where it's REALLY cold - is mainly cold because it's so far away from water.

Nova Scotia is much colder than the UK - but it's not like it's Siberia.

I imagine the UK is highly unlikely to get colder than Nova Scotia.
10 years in. I started to have panic attacks last year. Took a a few 2 weeks vacations. They help only temporarily. Now i'm out of vacations, trapped in a foreign country without usual citizen rights to take a many-months break from work and without an option to return home(because of war). Feel trapped without any light ahead.
Ryszard Kuklinski - one of the military generals in Poland, switched sides and began secretly delivering intel to USA after he found out the Russian strategies.

If I remember correctly, he said that Russia’s plans assumed hitting Poland and East Germany as well, to make it impossible for western forces to march through our grounds. (Of course most nukes were still directed at the western countries).
This article does not make any sense. You don't get a timestamp from nowhere without knowing the kind of time it references: local or UTC or fixed to anything like client time.

For python the important thing to understand is the difference between tz aware and naive datetime objects. But after you can do depending on your needs.

For example, if you ensure to convert your inputs to UTC and output UTC also, you can easily just work with utcnow by only dealing with UTC internally.

You would have to do that to store datetime in MySQL for example.
Poll: How Ambidextrous Are You?
Try this simple test: Fill a cup half way up with water and and hold it in your hand as if you were going to drink from it, but instead hold it at belly-height and jiggle the cup to rotate the water inside counter-clockwise.

Try first to rotate the water in the cup counter-clockwise with your dominant hand, and then counter-clockwise with your other hand. If "neither hand is dominant" flip a coin to see which hand goes first (heads is left, if you need guidance). If you spill the water in between, refill it to half.

How long can you continuously rotate the water counter-clockwise smoothly (without creating splashing, internal turbulence or other mess: not necessarily spilling out of the cup, but enough to break the smooth rotation)?

Aim for at least 10 seconds with your dominant hand, and then compare with your other one. :)

Important note: based on a comment, it seems some people find counter-clockwise easy but clockwise hard. As this is suppose to test your limits, switch to the rotation direction that is the hardest for your non-dominant hand and then do the test using that hardest rotation and vote the result from that.

If you want to comment with how long you can rotate counter-clockwise, go ahead.
I am left-hand dominant and I can perform exactly the same counter-clockwise water rotation with my right-hand for 10 seconds.
I am left-hand dominant and can rotate the water counter-clockwise in my right-hand smoothly more than half of the time I can do with the left-hand.
I am left-hand dominant and can rotate the water counter-clockwise in my right-hand smoothly less than half of the time I can do with the left-hand.
I am left-hand dominant and can barely rotate the water counter-clockwise with my right-hand without turbulence for any amount of time.
I am left-hand dominant and can barely rotate the water counter-clockwise with either hand.
I am right-hand dominant and can perform exactly the same counter-clockwise water rotation with my left-hand for 10 seconds.
