This isn't so much a hostage situation as an undiagnosed case of Stockholm syndrome. The irony to me is that these same people often decry the "filter bubble," but by their writing, it seems to me that they really do _enjoy_ living in one.

If you use fail2ban and asterisk you will probably have to rewrite the asterisk regex rules in fail2ban.
Not a big thing, but it will probably not work out of the box.

Yeah, no. ASCII assuredly has had what it officially called "opening single quotation mark" at 0x40, and "closing single quotation mark" at 0x27, for a very long time.

For starters, most easily at hand, see Communications of the ACM, Vol. 8, No. 4, April 1965, page 207, which shows them by those names.

Of course, there are details. It says that the 0x40 character can also be used as a grave accent, but only if "preceded by an alphabetic character and a BS (Backspace) in that sequence." Oh, for the days of hard-copy terminals.

And 0x27 is worse. It is documented there to be used as Apostrophe, closing single quotation mark, and even acute accent (but again, only in the context of the three character sequence alpha-backspace-accent).

Fine, that was 1965, and no controversy. But following the actual ANSI standard along over the years, by 2007 they're still there in "Coded Character Sets - 7-Bit American National Standard Code for Information Interchange (7-Bit ASCII)" ANSI INCITS 4-1986 (R2007) / ANSI X3.4-1986 (R2007), Approved June 14, 2007; Table 7, page 12. (Well, in 1986 they'd been slightly renamed to be Left and Right Single Quotation Mark, so the names would make sense for right-to-left languages, too; just as Paren, Bracket, and Brace pairs had all also changed names from "Open/Close" to "Left/Right".) The subsequent revisions to the ASCII standard, of June 15, 2012 and November 2, 2017, I don't have copies of, but these character designations clearly lasted at least into the "updated definitions" current as of mid 2012.

So, left and right single quotes were clearly in the official standard for almost five full decades beyond "early ASCII". I expect that they survive still, and will soon go into their seventh decade, but happy to hear otherwise from anyone with access to the later standard documents.

(And, yes, of course the Unicode standard has its own (no doubt better) opinions about what goes on with the first 128 characters out of tens of thousands, and what they're called and what they're properly used for; but that's a different issue than what the ASCII standard itself has to say about cramming stuff into its overloaded character set with a grand total of 128 slots.)
Hey friend,
Humans are giving you feedback on your project. If your goal is for people to enjoy your cool thing, maybe listen?
This is the best advice. Do it before you've burned bridges trying to keep this one going.
As a bather, I also tried this idea a couple of years ago. I thought condensation would be an issue but the house I live in seems to have low humidity. The bigger downside for me was having to expend more time and effort cleaning the sides of the bath.

This summer, I tried taking cold showers as an alternative energy conservation measure. So far, this Autumn has been very mild in Ireland so I've been able to keep up the habit (I still treat myself to a bath once a week or so).
Exactly the other way around for me. I never liked Blade Runner, especially the last 20 minutes or so. I enjoyed the book. I like Blade Runner 2049 though.
I think there's an interesting general optimisation problem here of balancing the accuracy/performance of a software/hardware system, against the goal of making that system easier to iterate on and develop.

Presumably this is a matter of working out if you are at a local maximum or not, and thinking about what properties the ideal solution will have. It also matters if you have other competitors that might be racing towards the ideal solution faster than you, potentially patenting their progress along the way.
Given all the libraries and services that ios provides, how? Did they rewrite all those rather than use what apple provides?
Tangentially related: has someone found something less energy intensive than taking a bath while bringing the same degree of warmth?

I've been looking at heated blankets but they're all made of polyester which is not comfortable due to the moisture being trapped under the blanket. Heated seats in some cars are the closest sense of comfort I've found but that technology doesn't seem to exist for regular seats.
Get a Nikon FE! There are tons of cheap Nikon glass. It has exposure compensation as you mention. It has a brilliant way of turning of the light meter so it won't drain your battery, when not in use and is just an overall pleasure to use.

If I was planning national energy infrastructure, I wouldn't plan on dividing the equipment into a million tiny pieces and installing it on roofs, of all places. It seems much simpler to manage a solar farm than 10,000 roofs.

Data races can occur with fat events because fat events don't usually store a snapshot of the entire world. They're often actually delta events, forcing the consumer to rely on caching (a racey affair) or just fall back to hitting the API anyway.

If you're having issues with thin events causing data inconsistency then the answer should be better data representation in your core API. If you had to solve it by cramming perfectly stale but self consistent data into a fat event, a better solution would be to persist such data and make it queryable, no?

But of course any way can be made to work. Any extra bit of data can be appended to the event details. Any number of separate DB and persistent queues can be maintained and backed up like the business depends on it.

In my experience thin events are just less bug prone because they're more simple. You're not worrying about stale data floating around an event queue or a client cache. You're not guessing what data the consumer needs. Having the event consumer pull data is usually a trivial cost difference.

Fat events have their advantages but I put them under premature optimization and YAGNI.
Living in Germany and getting both my heating and hot water from natural gas I regulary track my gas consumption throughout the different seasons. With 1-2 showers per day in the household my daily natural gas consumption in winter is about 20x higher than in summer, so compared to heating the house the energy in the hot water is a drop in the bucket.
Wrongful execution is more specific. The term you've chosen is broad enough to include regret for the loss of possible defense or prosecution testimony for other crimes and suspects, as well as regret for the loss of any possibility of future pardon, which is a forgiveness, inappropriate for wrongful conviction. Though pardon has been used before to expedite release, forgiving the innocent doesn't make any sense. Wrongful execution is far more heinous than the loss of testimony or pardon.
If we're to trust what Elon and the team said during the last few AI day, none. They stated that the ultrasonic and radar sensors were actually performing worse than their pure vision stack.

> Ah, so A and C where both subscribed to B, but during A's processing of the event it assumed C had already processed it and tried to look up some state. Is that correctly understood?

yes, though you're down the rabbit-hole on this one issue. My point (aside from the fact we actually saw this specific issue and it took a long time to correctly diagnose) is that with thin events followed by a http query call-back, You're asking for occasional "eventual consistency" trouble. Data races will happen occasionally - this is inevitable in the design.

At the tail end of the latency distributions, too fast or too slow, or service A is now having a blip, or you now hit the new version just deployed or whatever, things will go wrong by mis-sequencing in surprising and hard to follow ways (example given that you're fixating on) in complex real systems, and it's a win to avoid that chaos entirely, with fat events.
Way back when I was a product manager the team would constantly want decisions in this or that. The reality was that a lot of these decisions really didn’t matter or didn’t matter much and could be course corrected. So the best course of action was to make some decision any decision. It was usually more informed than flipping a coin but it often didn’t need a lot of deep study either.

This is not true.
soooo... you're agreeeing that non-vision isn't necessary since the control domain is so much simpler?

I personally think they should use as much data inputs as possible: radar, IR, LIDAR, mesh networks, fixed route information.

Where tesla went particularly wrong IMO is ignoring some sort of route-based chunk information which is how humans navigate. IIRC Elon said something to the effect of just having an algorithm to work everywhere.

Humans use the basic algorithm "stay in lane, drive forward" and then decorate with signs, knowledge of curves, locations of potholes, dangerous low-viz corners, likelihood of surprise stopped traffic, obscured driveways, general character of neighborhoods, road purpose. Weather. Windy sections, icy sections, light availability anomalies. What type of vehicle. Repair state of vehicle.

A general AI algorithm will never be able to properly account for flavors/tags/chunk info on routes. Especially since cloud precomputation is so available these days.

Anyway, while recognizing that Tesla's "Fully Self Driving" is not as advertised, and we are a ways from self driving for any statistical measure of superiority to a healthy aware adult, it is still damn impressive what FSD vids show.

Do AI driving systems try to make "subsystems" of AI networks to reduce inputs to various higher-level inputs, or do other just throw a ton of inputs at a big ass network and just let the entire system rise from the soup of information?
It sounds like we could finally see some movement on wage stagnation then, right? If so this seems like a good thing, even if my portfolio takes a hit. Most good for the most people, etc.
ARM-the-architecture is wildly successful. ARM-the-company is not.

To me, that says the problem is that ARM-the-company didn't have the right business plan.

However, to say I'm skeptical of this alternative business plan is an understatement. As was said everywhere else, the ability to build a pick-and-mix SoC is what got ARM-the-platform into the niches where it's strongest today.

Maybe the argument they're going for is to deliberately stab at the Innovator's Dilemma: if they burn their ships on mobile and embedded, they won't be reliant on it in the next 10 years as RISC-V eats their lunch.

That requires a huge commitment to this grand new vision of ARM For The Datacentre(tm), and I sort of wonder if this move might spook even that market.

I could imagine that there was some interest in ARM from hyperscalers because it was amenable to more customized SoC-style designs-- bolting on your own preferred bag of accelerators, management features, and specialized communication fabrics on top of a bag of standardized cores.
People keep saying printing code is bad for twitter engs.

If I'm forced to print code, I would probably do it. It is essentially a few clicks taking a few minutes of my time.

On the other hand, your tech lead reviewing code on paper is going to be extremely painful. The tech lead who is forced to review code on paper would probably quit first.

Cash-poor stock-rich is the current measure, ..

More accurately, that should be 'Cash-poor, asset-rich'. Assets are not just stocks, but also real-estate, precious metals*, commodities such as copper, wheat, etc.

*Gold as normally looked on as a 'store of wealth', not an 'investment'. It has been traditionally looked at in the same way as a permanent form of cash, rather than as a commodity like copper, or iron, or other metals.

Spare cash lying around is 'lazy money'. While it's good to have some cash on hand, it's poor investing to keep a lot of cash lying around. How much cash you have on hand is a function of your wealth-level. Some of us can get a bit twitchy if the cash(plus gold) levels should go down under a couple of hundred thousand or so. Your assets should be out there working, and bringing in more money.

Stocks are only one form of asset. And most people use them wrongly. Many people people chase the share-price without bothering about the company's fundamentals which is where real investing is involved. 'Trading' is merely another form of gambling. You do 'trading' for fun, not for investment, and you should be willing to lose all of that money if it be.

A good rule-of-thumb for an asset is that you have to be able to hold it in your hot little hand or at least touch it. Anything else is just numbers in somebody's computer and that can be taken away from you in the blink of an eye. (Or even when the power goes off.) Oh, and there's nothing 'safe' about a Bank's Safety Deposit Box. If they hold it in their Bank, it's theirs, not yours.

One last thing. Get rid of the debt. Pay off your mortgages as soon as possible, within months rather than years. Keep your Credit Cards in a positive balance rather than in debt, so pay them off entirely at the end of the month or even more often. I consider it a failure on my part if they get into debt at all. Online banking is your friend.
It's not feasible because there's no fee model for the users. It's a free service. With traditional "federated" networks, like telephones, the customers pay for the service and you can mandate interoperability that includes allowed peerage fees to incentivize quality and compatibility of these connections.

The proposed act requires one social network to carry messages for another with zero incentives between them. Even if you do get it implemented, I suspect it will never work with any reliability or will have so many limitations applied as to be essentially useless for the stated purpose.

One caution here, as I'm just recently was working on automated image encoding for user submitted images - be careful of AVIF/JXL's encoding time.

I ran some benchmarks with a raw 48mp iPhone 14 dng file (converted to png to start with since jxl had issues going from dng directly) with imagemagick to illustrate.

jpg conversion: 1.74s

webp conversion: 3.77s

avif conversion: 67.96s

jxl conversion: 42.74s

Of course there's ways to optimize these, but still it's worth considering that these newer formats require an order of magnitude (if not more) increase in time to encode. If you're doing this for your own static site, it's worth doing. If you're dealing with user submitted images, make sure you understand the tradeoffs.

What Comcast did you do business with?

Comcast doesn’t give a crap about customers, full stop. Oh yes, they’ll send “technicians” out 3 to 4 times a month to tell you everything tested perfectly. But get them to put a line monitor on your connection, provide them logs that you have over 5% packet loss that doesn’t start until after the CMTS, and they’ll get an “engineer” involved who will come out and leave some testing equipment which will confirm the issue. Over a year later, the issue will remain unresolved.

My aunt bought a house where, at the best of times, her kids can finish a game with only a handful of disconnects. The other 20% of the time they can’t even watch Netflix or streaming sports.

They tried the “business connection” trick already, at a cost of $300 a month for 150mbps. That didn’t improve anything.

The “investigation” remains open, and the “engineer” just doesn’t bother updating them anymore.

My cousin went door-to-door only to discover the whole neighborhood is having the same types of issues. It’s just the new normal.
You can't easily use that with a plain* CDN though - you would need to add a Vary: Accept header and cache misses will increase as every variant of Accept: will cache a different version

* it seems fixable with things like Lambda@Edge and I wouldn't be surprised if a smart CDN which already does on-the-fly image compression had implemented this too
You would think that keeping the team effective is the basic job of a manager. Dealing with people who don't know how to do some part of their own job is of course an unfortunate, yet inevitable reality. But this is on the level of "developer who doesn't know how to code". The article leaps into teaching the manager to do their job, but often just switching teams or companies is much easier. Plus, after you put in all the effort, not every manager can turn around and appreciate it, many will just take credit and give you nothing. So if you're going this direction, there should be some thought given to deciding whether your manager would recognize your efforts.
I think you're describing and conflating two different things is what I'm pointing out. There are people who want things they see as harmful to remove off platforms they're on. There are also people who don't want to move to a decentralized system. But generally I think the same person who wants to remove bad people and not move to Mastodon are doing it for two different reasons, neither of which has to do with some kind of conspiratoral power that you're describing.

One, I think people generally want their personal experience with the centralized platform to be better. It just so happens it's very difficult to do this without removing people they don't like. That's it. I'm pretty sure if there was some magic woo-waa that let people only be engaged with by others who aren't mean at them, it doesn't really matter if mean people exist elsewhere.

Two, decentralized platforms are simply less intuitive than centralized ones to use and has nothing to do with content removal. I think you're hyper-focused on censorship in some way that doesn't actually reflect casual users. People generally just want to sign up on a platform and talk with their friends, and Mastodon makes it hard to sign up and talk to your friends.
Right, Bezos & this blog are framing the world as black & white when its really just lots of gray.

Many things that you could bucket into "type 2" decisions which are not one-way doors, effectively are.
For example, orgs that tend to never go back and fix technical debt means everything is a one-way door.

Further, design decisions that require substantial and growing effort once you go through the door .. are effectively one-way doors as well.

Maybe ZIRP era over staffed FAANG could afford to build and rebuilt, have multiple competing redundant systems to see who wins, etc.. but most tech orgs just don't work that way.

I am not entirely sure what to make of your comment. You are clearly a very compassionate person. And yes a lot of people in prison are not the "tough guy" stereotype. However, there are more than a few that will exploit your sympathy. Asking you to bring them stuff or to give them money. Sadly it's almost always the same thing. It's very easy to make friends with a person in need. What happens when they get out is a different story.

Lens size and weight changes due to many aspects - number of extra corrective/aspherical/low dispersion elements, the _equivalent_ aperture, the number of focusing motors, whether the lens has optical image stabilization, whether it is weather sealed, whether it is made out of plastic or metal, etc, etc.

Its not easy to just isolate for sensor size. But _in general_, you can make small full-frame lenses which will be equivalent to micro four thirds lenses. The problem is that they won't sell. Today, few people want f/2.8, f/4, f/5.6 primes for full-frame. Most people shooting full-frame want F/1.2, F/1.8 or F/1.4 primes.
