Looks like Blender is onboard with moving to Gitea. However:

> To preserve the community aspect of Gitea we are experimenting with creating a decentralized autonomous organization where contributors would receive benefits based on their participation such as from code, documentation, translations, and perhaps even assisting individual community members with support questions.

So Gitea wants to create a DAO and "receive benefits based on their participation such as from code" assuming it going to be similar to Gitcoin, which may involve using crypto tokens, NFTs and the like.

Good for them; either way.
A bit weird to develop everything in terms of a finite probability space. I guess it helps avoid fiddly technical issues of measurability. But we don't want the reader to believe that MCMC only works for finite sets. I think the most famous applications are over uncountable sets. Of course everything is technically finite due to floating-point math, but graph walks don't really capture the spirit of MCMC over finite-precision approximations of continuous probability spaces.
A couple of things:
- If you were actually desperate, you would be trying to find ANY job. Even a minimum wage job because if not, you will be homeless in a month.

> "But I now prefer not to learn anything for work unless I am getting paid for it." - Do you know what compnay pays you to do this? Starbucks!! It takes them 1 hour of training to teach you how to make a frapachino and you'll instantly be productive. For a software compant to teach you from the ground up? MONTHS of investment when they can hire someone else who actually knows their tech stack and have relevent developer experience.

- Ever since the pandemic started and remote development started taking precedence, the amount of competition for tech jobs have skyrockted. But even then, for the past year and a half, we had one of the hottest tech job markets, besides the past 6 months of downtrend. Yet you could not find a single job offer in that time period means, hey sir, you don't have the skillset that a company will pay you to work for. So what does that mean you should do? You should STOP APPLYING like you're trying to win the lottery and actually go learn some software development skills. Learn Python and data structures and algorithms. Learn how to be a GOOD SKILLED developer and not an entitled brat hoping for the easy times like you had it 5 years ago. News flash, the world has changed and either you adapt or you get out of this industry.

I wish you luck and I hope you stop making these kinds of posts because everyone is going to tell you the same thing over and over and over and over and over.

>It ends with your survival. Vaccination isn't surgery, it's an extremely minor medical procedure that reduces or eliminates the risk of contracting a disease. During a deadly global pandemic, refusing vaccination is nothing short of suicidal. 97M Americans were infected and more than a million died. There were over 630M cases globally, and over 6.5M died due to COVID.

Way to dodge the question. Also, I think you're missing the point. I don't think OP or most other anti vax mandate people think that the covid vaccine is a risky procedure, or that the public is better off on net for it. They're against it because it sets a precedent for government to mandate medical procedures.

>No one ever has any right to spread infection, not even libertarians.

Companies can't legally prefer hiring applicants based on protected characteristics, including sex or race. They are allowed to do sourcing work to increase the diversity of their pipeline, but not to go so far as to effectively exclude people based on protected characteristics. I am not a lawyer.
I leapt into your comment to profess my love for the TWA Hotel but saw you actually mentioned it towards the end. I fly a Melbourne => JFK leg a couple of times a year and the fact that I can grab the AirTrain for one stop and then be at the hotel is pretty great. Doesn't really hit me that I'm back in the states until I walk into that lobby.
Consciousness is just consciousness, it's not reduceable to brain states; it's fundamentally different even though they are associated and related. See Qualia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qualia
"That said I prefer IQ over grades." The evil in this is: Your IQ doesn't change. So, have the the children take an IQ test at age 10, then just setup their college admissions right there. Deny kids that don't have the right IQ. No need to bother with GPAs or "trying".

'Docker + WASM' definitely gave me the impression that docker is now leveraging wasm to be able to run your normal container workloads directly on the browser.

Like if you have any docker container, you can now take that, with some modification and run that directly on the browser. Reading further, I think this is totally not what it actually is.

You could say 'Docker for WASM applications' or 'Docker to deploy WASM apps' that would make the relationship more clear I think.
We live in a simulation in our own minds. Your eyes do not behave as cameras, but instead detect the bare minimum detail needed for your mind to recreate the world around you. When your first born you blind and one of your first achievements is learning to see.

It makes sense that what we see is a memory, as how else could we transfer not just the visual, but smells, feelings, etc... into our long term memory. Efficiency
A friend has regular "RV" starlink, and uses it all the time in motion strapped on top of his spare tire on the rear tailgate of his SUV. It works flawlessly.... except he's done a TON of off road driving on bad corrugations, which eventually killed it - I guess the internal motors are not designed for those kind of vibrations.

Just adding on to the other explanations here. Dart has little point outside of Flutter. We have tried to use Dart to create helper tools (which we'd usually do in Python) but because of the fact that threads can't efficiently share memory means it's basically useless for anything that is remotely intensive.

Dart uses a microtask queue which the Dart VM controls. Each process you run is called an isolate, with its own instance of the Dart VM and memory stack. The only way to speak to other threads is to use Send/ReceivePorts which have a massive overhead themselves. In our mobile app we do a lot with many cryptography algorithms. Originally we had to send each item to be encrypted/decrypted/signed to a background isolate to ensure the UI thread doesn't freeze. This is fine, for small requests, but once you reach the realm of tens of megabytes this process becomes slow as all hell. The recommended solution for this is to write the file to disk and just send the file location to the isolate. Which itself incurs IO overhead.

Anyway, our use case be damned, just the fact that because Dart runs a microtask queue with non-sharable memory makes it hard to use for anything other than Flutter.
It was probably public as part of the report on the submissions process, but fairly obscure if you weren’t looking for that information exactly. I found it be googling a family members name. Google provides the way to look it up using someone’s name as the starting point.

Having read Orwell’s Down and Out In London and Paris this doesn’t surprise me. The book made being poor in Paris sound kind of fun- lots of drinking and camraderie. While being poor in England was lonely and shameful, and what little charity there was was provided by churches. I don’t know why the countries are this way (maybe Anglo culture is more moralistic and judgemental) but this stuck with me.
Interesting, and good to know! But wouldn't you say that students are better off not submitting their scores if they scored low on the tests? Only given a sufficiently high enough score does it become a "nothing to lose" situation.

Unless the issue is students just don't want to take the test to begin with.
That's an interesting idea, and while I doubt that it is true it seems like something you could determine experimentally. Has anyone done that or are you just asserting it?

Say you build your own language, but don't want to write a parser for it (people who write tons of prog langs know that syntax is the most boring part (for some, I'm sure some people love it)) so you can borrow this, it gives you a syntax tree, and you just continue from there.
This a good resource with lots of nice links but while I can see something like a syllabus helping beginners see an overall direction, I don't think this site encourages the right approach to learning physics.

I not keen on telling everyone to learn every topic presented or else they 'fail'. He's telling people they have to reproduce his entire physics education exactly as he did which I don't think is suitable for people learning on their own.

If you're a self taught programmer you probably didn't learn by finding a university's syllabus and trying to replicate it. Trying to reproduce a university's syllabus seems to me an unreasonable goal and I worry that Hooft's list encourages people to gain a shallow understanding with little understanding.

My main take aways from my university education was that most modules truly wished to teach a new way of seeing things or teach skills in manipulating new objects. Analysis is a good example: simply going through theorems and proofs isn't the goal, it's to learn the skills needed to write them, understand the mathematical logic and gain intuition.

Another important thing is that science is both broad and deep, despite having common topics, and this list simply doesn't convey this. A learner is much better off using what they find interesting and needed as a guide. It's fine if you don't learn one particular topic or approach something in one particular way because all studying will teach transferable skills. I'd expect someone who's said taught to have more limited time compared to an undergraduate, so I think focusing is fine and potentially necessary.

When I was a kid in the 80's I visited the old museum where they were actively spraying the ship, and I think they took that decision in the 70's, so I wouldn't be surprised if they know a lot more now about wood conservation.

Anyway, I think they're saying now that the biggest problem is that the old iron is reacting badly somehow, and they're thinking about - very carefully - replacing all the nails.

But the whole thing is very much a work in progress when it comes to conservation, no-one has done anything like this at this scale ever.

That's actually not true. The brain has a LOT of hacks around eye movement including saccades that involve rewriting temporal history. Sorry, but there are temporal illusions that take advantage of these hacks and they are a good way at disproving the "common sense" conclusions. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronostasis
You're not understanding. These are not strings. These are symbols. Say in python you write `a = b`. Are "a" and "b" strings? No. In these examples what you're referring to as strings are just meant to be symbols like "a" and "b". It just so happens that the implementation uses "String" data type to represent them.

Other examples: in XML when you write `<abc></abc>` is "abc" a string? In s-expressions (or lisp) when you write `(if a b)` are "if", "a" and "b" strings?

Let's steelman that a bit.

If you structured society such that only the top 0.5% of households by income could send their kids to college, you'd find that a lot of your successful entrepreneurs, judges, scientists, etc. went to college and had a high income growing up.

But I don't know that proposing something else, like standardized testing, as an alternative to this would be quite a remarkable claim. You're just saying that the scoring function produces a lot of false negatives.

I’ve been using Dart/Flutter for over a year now building an open source iOS/Android/Web app. In general, Dart is a solid language, and we enjoy writing code in it. The package management, for example is comparable to other best in class managers, like Rust’s Cargo and a huge leap forward from languages like Python. All the tooling (linting, formatter) takes the lessons Google learned from Go and applies them to Dart.

Additionally, It’s both an interpreted (with JIT) and a compiled language. Flutter uses this to hot reload code in development, but also to ship a leaner binary in production. On the server, native binaries are great for CLI tools for easy deployment, and the JIT is great for servers where processes are longer running and performance is more important than process size. Although it’s reasonably fast either way.

That being said, it’s a pretty boring language. It doesn’t have many expressive features to reduce boilerplate. While it does have reflection, no one uses it because it can’t be used in Flutter when compiling native binaries. Very few people are willing to make packages that don’t work in Flutter. People generally resort to code gen, which is clunky and adds another process to development.

On the server, there are not many options. The ‘shelf’ package is the default, but it falls short in many areas, making developers cobble together different packages. There are others, the one I’m watching is Frog[0], but adoption is slow. However, it is pretty much just another Next.js style clone, not adding anything novel to the space.

My hope is that the cloud providers will roll out native Dart support to their FaaS products, so I can at least share my model code between apps and the backend. However, the dream (well, my dream at least) is to have a full end-to-end Dart/Flutter solution that is real-time/reactive and not REST-based. Something like a programmable Firebase where I don’t have to deal with un/marshalling data myself all the time. I think that will get Flutter devs enough reason to move to Dart on the backend.

This happened to me too in Austin! I booked a room at a La Quinta Inn in South Austin that they had turned into a homeless shelter. I was pretty upset and quit using HotelTonight and stopped staying at La Quinta Inn over it. I was able to get my money back though, and just showed up a different hotel downtown in person and got a room there instead.
Mind you, do you know similar papers? This sounds interesting!
Or get an Amex platinum card and let the concierge deal with it. And get $100-200 in amenities such as resort credits, complimentary breakfast, and late checkin on top of that. And as an added bonus you get to visit some of the nicest airport lounges.
> They're against it because it sets a precedent for government to mandate medical procedures.

This is just a part of what is so ridiculous about their objections and reveals ignorance and a misunderstanding of law. The government isn't required to establish precedent here because it is already the law of the land.[1][2][3] That said, precedent has been very well established for a very long time.[4]

my issue is with how the article is structured. tell the story in miniature with a teasing line about the crux of the technical failure, then plough into acres and acres of detail with the teased information buried somewhere underneath. it’s unpleasant and unnecessary

yes the failure as a whole may have been structural, but that doesn’t change how the author withholds information in order to keep your attention on what are in fact largely extraneous details
Paris is overrated. Two or three days is plenty, in my opinion. See the Eiffel Tower, hit the museums, and then you’re done. I preferred Bordeaux even though there was less to do than in Paris. On the other hand, I live in a huge city, so cities aren’t very interesting to me, so my opinion is very biased.
You're overthinking it. You're being too clever by half, or maybe too clever by more like 9/10. A good manager really does just give clear feedback, and it's helpful. It doesn't solve all problems for all people, but it's the place to start, not all this mumbo jumbo about metadata or whatever.
This press release seems pretty light on information. This could be a phased array antenna according to this review (which seems to be focused on airplane-mounted devices):

https://www.bcsatellite.net/blog/flat-panel-antennas-state-o...

> "Currently the most popular alternative to Gimbal antennas are Phased Array Antenna flat panel antennas, which are composed of many radiating elements that can be thought of as numerous, tiny, fixed antennas. Each one has a phase shifter which forms beams by shifting the phase of the signal emitted from each of the radiating elements (tiny antennas). This provides a constructive/destructive interference which may be used to steer the beam(s) in a particular direction. This entire process is all electric, so the beam direction can be controlled and pointed instantaneously in any direction. It is able to track the movement of a satellite in the sky, regardless of the movement of the car, boat, airplane, or train."
> It's not that hard. And you get the benefit that they actually book the hotel room.

Haha no you don't. Hotels "forgetting" bookings that you made directly on their website absolutely happens. I'd be willing to bet that it happens (proportionately) more often than losing a booking that you made via a big aggregator.

> I'm kind of mystified how Booking.com was able to say they booked a room at this hotel, when they apparently never even contacted the hotel to reserve the room. Clearly if they had contacted them, they would have learned that it was turned into a homeless shelter and not available.

They might have had a standing allocation of rooms from the hotel, or they might have contacted the owners and had them straight-up lie about the hotel still operating. Certainly the article is describing a monumental fuck-up; as with any large system failure I suspect multiple things went wrong for this to happen.
