> The relative importance of churches and Home Depots is not important.

It absolutely is. The risk between churchgoing and Home Depot shopping, or going to school vs a bar may be equivalent, if we accept your analysis. But when taking risks, we also consider benefit. Risk for little to no benefit is best not taken. Risk for benefit may be worth taking, depending on how much benefit. If you can't accept this basic principle, there's no point in continuing this discussion further.

Education/childcare and having a habitable home are more important, objectively, than getting drinks or worshipping in-person inside of a building. Safe alternatives for the latter existed - drinking beers on your porch, or having church services in a field.
DuckDNS was a great aid i had in my early stages of homelabbing before I had my own domain.
Raspberry Pi isn’t the fastest ARM SBC. If you want something significantly faster, order the new ROCK5 SBC with 16GB of RAM. Being new, it won’t have the same level of polish and support (which can be extremely important depending on your application) but these are so much faster than the Pi that it can be worth it depending on your use case.

Nothing in the SBC world is going to come close to an M1 any time soon, though. The fastest ARM SoCs just don’t end up in SBCs.
Yes, it's clear to everyone that your voting rights in the USA depend on where you live. That map of Texas is just one particularly egregious example of a gerrymandered district.

I think it's crazy that national (federal) elections are held under rules that vary from state to state; and that a congressional district the shape of a snake is permissible at all, whoever gets to draw the district. It seems obvious to me that national elections should be held under uniform national rules. But it's none of my business; I don't live in the USA, and I'm not from the USA.

> With the typical Western "overpay for a modern tank/gun/piece of equipment by a factor of 2" style you still get a modern tank/gun/piece of equipment in the end.

Many studies have been done and this isn't really a thing. The government isn't paying 2x (or 100-1000x as is often the rumor) for a given thing. What they're paying is the price of certification and guarantees. If the law requires that a procured item be guaranteed to NOT catch fire in an oxygen-rich environment (because it could be used in space) then the price of that product--no matter how seemingly mundane--is going to be more expensive than if you "just bought it from the store". Because someone had to setup a complicated bureaucracy and certification testing process to cover that product and actually carry out the testing.

There's also product availability guarantees that add to the price of government-procured things: A lot of stuff the government buys must continue to be manufactured for the effective life of the product in the government. This means that companies supplying stuff need to stock and maintain replacement parts for lifespans that would normally be vastly longer that a typical product cycle. They may even need to keep people trained at making and repairing these goods. That costs a lot of money!

If you're looking for corruption in Western governments it's in the form of paying political campaigns (or entire parties) to get specific laws passed or not passed. That's the big one that causes basically all the major problems in Western politics.

To a lesser extent there's also corruption involving decision-making bureaucrats getting hired by the industries they regulated after their time in office is over (this should be illegal) and politicians with insider information trading stocks. Taking direct bribes also does happen but it's rare because it's too easy to get caught and the consequences are high (high risk, low reward most of the time).

Pantone is an ink the public domain standard would be cmyk.

If you get five printers and ask them all to print C:11,Y:22,M:33,K:44 you get five different colours as each will have to mix their cmyk inks to get that colour.

Pantone is a spot colour that means you can buy a pot of ink thats Pantone 123 there is no mixing so the colour is always the same. If you want to print on glossy paper thats going to change the look of the colour so Pantone also do inks for each surface you want to print on, they also do dyes for plastics and clothes etc.

Edit: The difference between the five printers would be insignificant but if you are a designer or want your logo to look exactly the same on stand ups, pamphlet, business cards etc you would use a spot colour.

Being an Indian who ran a sole proprietorship company which is suppose to be relatively easier with bureaucracy I strongly relate to this comment.

Not only the ease of doing business is non-existent but also the entire running the company's operations is exhaustive and riddled with inconsistencies regulations. Plus, the amount of reporting required to stay compliant is never ending.

Every month you will have to file for multiple GST reports, then file quarterly GST reports again to reconcile. On the other hand, file for quarterly advance tax, then finally file for annual income tax. To top it of, GST rules changes so frequently that the entire book keeping process becomes complex & convoluted.

You will end up spending more time in keeping all the things in check with the regulation instead of spending time on growing the business itself.

Note that this blog post announces that Code Simplicity is published as a free pdf download by the author. I'd suggest changing the title to "Code Simplicity: now free to download" or something.

I can recommend Code Simplicity. It's a very short book and provide very useful insight.

The author was a lead developer in the Bugzilla rewrite. Which seemed to be quite an adventure. And illustrates his ideas with Bugzilla's numerous maintainability issues.

I read it before starting my career as a developer, and I think it deeply influenced the way I approach writing code. It doesn't have as much as practical recommendations, but provides a helpful framework to think about how to write code and avoid general pitfalls.

I think code I wrote in my first job was praised as greatly readable only because I integrated the book's teaching before I had to learn them for myself.

Maybe it's not a "must read" for experienced devs, but I found it useful when I started.

Far more complicated is the issue. The problem is even worse than you lay out. How do you deal with backhanded compliments for example. They are inherently positive while really being negative. How about sarcasm which is itself breaking.

But highly processed refined carbohydrates are sugar as well. Or at least converted to glucose. We are told, however, that carbs are part of the balanced diet. While that is true the right kind of carbs are important. So people think they are being healthy while loading themselves up with poor quality carbs that are in fact quite unhealthy.
I can relate to that. I've used scrum at several companies but only two have done it the "correct" way. All the other companies made an attempt but I found that doing scrum halfway can be worse than not doing it at all. We were getting all the overhead of the process without the benefits.

Question about the general process you described, how did that work for you? Did you have any issues or complaints? Did your team have any trouble hitting deadlines?
In the US you can't claim free speech if you yell "fire" in a full theater. In Germany you also can't claim free speech if you yell "kill all the jews" on a street corner. I'm not sure those are that different. They are both about the right to physical integrity winning out over the right to free speech once the latter threatens the former.

With insults it's important to note that European constitutions commonly protect not just physical integrity, but also dignity or honour. You again have to balance which right weights more. England goes a bit too far in my opinion. In Germany insulting someone is also technically illegal and can get you up to one year in prison, but in reality, results in nothing at all or a 3-4 digit fine (German courts are quite reasonable, most of the time).

Similarities: _…_ for italics, `…` for code, ```…``` for multiline code (… though this is an unofficial syntax not part of Markdown, though it’s very close to ubiquitous), <…> for delimiting URLs, a > prefix for quotes (which is the most common syntax by far, since it was established decades earlier in email), and entity-encoding of &, < and > for some reason (which, given that they don’t support any other entity-encoding, and don’t use the ampersand, and don’t support escaping any of the rest of the syntax, is all-round weird, like although they weren’t actually following Markdown anywhere else they decided to in this one place for some reason and made a total hash of it).

The only similarities that are not extremely common conventions independent of any specific lightweight markup language are triple-backtick code fences, and entity-encoding.

Differences: no paragraphs, line breaks are hard rather than soft breaks, *…* for bold (in Markdown that’s italics, and **…** or __…__ is bold), lists (apparently this syntax doesn’t actually support lists, driving home how this isn’t even Slack’s “normal” format—I’m not sure how lists are actually implemented, given that you can produce them in the web UI), links, strikethrough, emojification, and all the other stuff from Markdown that’s missing (including any other form of escaping or entity-encoding).

Seriously, the resemblance is very superficial. The name is the part that’s closest, by a considerable margin; not the actual language.

They say “similar to Markdown” because that’s the best-known lightweight markup language, so it’s the obvious reference point.

Raspberry Pi 4 (2GB, 4GB, and 8GB) will be in stock at the pop-up. Please be aware that we’re limiting Raspberry Pi 4 to one of these computers per person. Note that the limit is one of any, not one of each, so you won’t be able to purchase one 2GB model and one 8GB model — you can only buy one of any of these computers. We’ve decided to do this to try to ensure that everyone who has made the trip to Oxford Street can pick up one of these harder-to-come-by boards.

EDIT:
They are sold out of 8GB Pi4 and Pi 400.

Good question. If having a daily desktop environment is still your use case, than maybe a 7 inch (touch) screen from Waveshare is an option? I have one that has a good color screen and says it's also low power consumption, but I never compared to low power alternatives like an e-ink screen.
I tried using it daily as you do, but youtube had stability issues in Chromium and Firefox for ages, so now I rarely use it. When it works, great, when not, I'm not spending any more time trying to figure out why.

>The burst even appears to have caused Earth’s ionosphere, the upper layer of Earth’s atmosphere, to swell in size for several hours.

For a gamma ray burst from an object that's 2.4 billion light years away, that seems pretty worrying. If it had been in our galaxy (50k light years across, so about 50,000 times closer) I'd assume the consequences would be serious indeed.
1) Define your domain. AI doesn't mean neural nets. It means making a computer do something that you thought required intelligence. Neural nets are getting pretty good at general purpose do-what-I-mean problem solving, though. Do you want to do neural nets or do you want to do AI?

2) Set a goal. Start by figuring out what you want to do. You want to make an algorithm which achieves X, solve for X.

3) Lit review. Find out what work has been done in this particular direction. Don't just skim, understand the work. Re-implement and reproduce the most promising studies just to see if you can get them working. If you can't, that's publishable in and of itself! If no-one's done anything in this direction then this should be easy.

4) Proof of concept. You've determined that a thing is possible and you have a good idea how to do it. Start working on an implementation of the thing.

...this is where business, science and engineering part ways.

Science:

5) Once you have a proof of concept that exceeds state of the art in some measurable way, write a paper and publish it. Get funding. Repeat.

Engineering:

5) Apply for a job at a company doing similar research using your proof of concept as your resume. No-one cares what grades you got in year 10 geography if you can show them something awesome that you built just now.

Business:

5) Either build a minimum viable product yourself, break into a viable market, and then iterate on that while also working yourself to death learning to do all the business stuff you never realised even existed, or use your proof of concept as a pitch deck to get financial backing from some incubator, angel, VC etc. then build your dream for them as well as you.
Thanks for the info. I don't follow Brazilian politics, but somehow the picture of a corrupt ex-president going to jail persisted in my head, since that was the news we were getting here back in the time.

I couldn't understand why our news in Germany was pretending that a guy convinced of corruption would be a saviour of Brazil against the evil Bolsonaro.

That highlights one of the main problems in our societies. We just accept information served to us by our governments without much checking. Either because we don't care about every topic, or because we don't have a means to actually check.

Apparently not; many states have a death penalty (i.e. a withdrawal of that privilege). Prosecution of policemen for murder is rare, and a conviction is even rarer.

The Pit is fairly new by my standards. And if you like the food there, I'd suggest trying Stephenson's out in Willow Spring, they still use wood to cook, it's really good and they offer Brunswick stew.

Also if you're willing to drive out to Wilson, Parker's and Cobb's are good. (I'd have suggested Bill Ellis but they closed when Ellis died. Sadly it seems no one wanted to keep up the traditions.) Really there's a whole world of tiny Mom and Pop BBQ places in various small towns in NC that are great.
There are a few things wrong with this recipe. Notably:

* It should be butter beans, not lima beans.

* Potatoes are optional and usually undesired because it's already so thick.

* Where's the hot sauce? Cayenne and hot sauce have different flavor profiles.

* Pork is superior to chicken for this stew. Leftover smoked bbq pork is best.

* The tomatoes should be peeled

* A splash of vinegar will brighten up the tomato.

Extra credit: serve over macaroni and cheese (the real stuff, not blue box stuff).
How to test ML models? Metamorphic testing
Metamorphic testing is increasingly popular in AI because it's particularly adapted to the Machine Learning context. In a nutshell, it's about assessing the behavior of your AI model after perturbations (changes in input data). As a benefit, it enables you to implement tests of your AI without knowing the ground truth label.

You have wakened my curiosity here...

I had heard that of the ancient Greeks, though Wikipedia gives the origin more vaguely as the ancient Near East. It is a practical way of thinking when you are outdoors most of the time, you are not very active at night, and a sundial is your timekeeper. It also helps to be at a relatively low latitude, where the seasonal variation is not so great.

This makes sunrise and sunset the important moments in daily timekeeping, and this is, of course, the case in the Jewish definition of a day (I would not be surprised to learn that Jewish scholars also worked with intraday fractions of the lunar cycle.)

If this did lead to a willingness to vary the second along with the length of the hour, this would seem to me to argue against the specialness of the definition of the second as 1/86400 of the mean synodic day. I doubt, however, that anyone but perhaps a few scholars at that time ever contemplated such a small division of time. The second only became a practical measure with the development of accurate mechanical clocks, by by then, mean time had largely taken over sundials and other forms of intraday ephemeris timekeeping, as that is what mechanical clocks measure. (This transition, I suspect, had a greater impact on the general population than did the adoption of the atomic standard, if only because the latter had no practical impact.) At that point, the second was defined by sexagisimal division of the hour (and thus, obviously, transitively as a fraction of a particular mean synodic day, given the definition of an hour in such terms.)

Right, and while the RPi ecosystem is fantastic, there are better processors for the price. I've been patiently waiting for the RK3588. I think it's the first ARM chip that will make a suitable desktop replacement for me, with dual monitors. The Orange Pi 5 will be a good value, if it ever drops. The Rock 5 Model B is available now, but the price is too high. I recently bought an Inovato Quadra. It's a TV box with Linux preinstalled for $30, comes with a nice case too. I've also been buying old chromeboxes on eBay and flashing them with mr.chromebox's EUFI firmware to make them into regular computers. It's just amazing what you can get for $30 these days.

Personal opinion or anecdata:
Is it possible that communication is "detested" because it's not valued within the developer group? Many times, when someone speaks of a 10x software engineer, the gut feeling is of someone that provides the output (measurable in code) of 10 developers, not that he's able to have an impact in the organization through communication as 10 developers (breaking silo-s, syncing teams, etc), although this might be closer to the truth and what the duties of some staff and principal level developers includes.

In addition, rarely communication is valued within the companies where we work. Most aspects of documentation, whether vocal or written, are hard to measure and as such are ignored when an evaluation of the "worth" of an IC is done.

Personally, I think communication is relevant, but I also think that it's hard for developers to resist the sculpting that companies deliver to the employees on what is relevant in this field.
Beowulfs were huge hacks back in the day, but are similar to most super computers. The main difference from how many think of compute clusters these days is it is managed as a single machine, so historically needed identical hardware. Parallel processing and concurrency used to be more rare :D

The losses the companies he has invested in sustain duento regulation are not necessarily "absolute losses" in the sense that it is wasted money. The are "societal costs" that need to be payed in order to make sure the companies adhere to a certain level of civility.
