Picasso had the great advantage of being trained in painting since he was a child. His father was a very good painter, and supported and encouraged him a lot.

Picasso’s other strength was his refusal to be absorbed by the ever present academy/salon. They acted as a club, keeping a tight hold on what was and was not considered proper. Picasso could have easily become a part of this, but had the balls to walk away when he was (I think) no more than 16. He went his own way, jointing a studio in Barcelona.

Adding to this was that by the time he was in his early 20s, he had nearly died from illness, and lost a close freind to suicide. This gave his work an emotional back bone it had lacked before. In a sense, it made him.

His most creative move was to take an interest in African masks. Reconciling African sculpture with European painting was impossible. But as every tome on creativity will tell you, new things come from cross breeding old things, all the better if they can’t be interbred.

But whatever Picasso did, he never stopped being a classicist, which is what he had learned when he was a child.

Twombly… I like but with reservation. He died only recently, and has therefore only recently become ‘art history’. He had his thing, and many people liked his thing and would pay good money for it. However, he had none of the scope of some of his peers (eg jasper johns). Certainly, he is far more difficult to use in a classroom unless you are talking about his work. In other words, he is the perfect example of himself (if that makes sence).

Sure. I noticed that many people come from the angle that decentralization implies defi, because they've seen the last few years of decentralization practically be synonymous with blockchains. I'm just responding to that, and saying that there's lots of interesting applications possible in the decentralized space that don't involve blockchains or finance. Blockchains are just a global append-only stack of messages with global consensus.

Mastodon isn't decentralized so I didn't intend to compare them at all. That said, I think federated systems are interesting and have a place, because full decentralization is often impractical.
part of the reality is that it's an open question. interesting things may pan out, or may not, as with other innovation / R&D efforts
Is a pen not an alternative to a pencil? Different features and tradeoffs; it depends on preference and context. If anything it’s less of an alternative if there’s no differences, otherwise it would be byte-for-byte Mathematica and you’d be unable to choose between the two.
ADHD meds are suggested as a first line treatment above all of those other things because they are more effective than all those things, like several times as effective, and are well tolerated and inexpensive.

It is that fact which plays into why this treatment is exploitative. You should only ever be trying something like this after exhausting a number of more effective options. This program is marketing itself as for people who AREN'T EVEN DIAGNOSED with ADHD and pretending this is somehow an "evidence-based" approach.
What about the TSMC intelligentsia? Will they reside in Arizona or Taiwan? Because if they remain in a China-controlled Taiwan, that Arizona facility won’t be very useful after, say, 5-10 years when next-gen chips are needed. They’ll be stuck in the past.
The damage from the riots is estimated in 1-2 billion of dollars. Nice for you to handwave it as "in some cases, property damage" and the classic "fiery, but mostly peaceful" of course. For some people who lived through it and witnessed it, however, it sounds like nothing but apology for lawlessness and wanton destruction. When you will ask yourself "why politics is so polarized in the uS" - that's why. When people hear that for you burning down their business, or trashing their car, or making their city unsafe and unlivable is just "mostly peaceful and some cases of property damage and actually it's probably all right-winger's doing anyway" - they would not trust another word coming from you, ever. Because if we can't agree on something as basic as "arson and mayhem is bad", then there's nothing for us to agree on.
I dream to be able to use the mdn/content repo directly on GitHub. Unfortunately the Markdown links are the "production" site ones and don't work in GitHub. It would be nice to have links that work there and their toolchain (called Yari if I understand well) should translate it when generating the MDN site.

It would allow for easier reuse of the content.

> maybe that's always been true for you, which is an aspect of being, if not rich, certainly quite fortunate in some way

No it's not. You're thinking from your perspective, with your own mindset, about when you would be comfortable switching jobs.

I've switched jobs with as little as $10k saved up. I've even gone literally broke one time and had to borrow some money from relatives.

It's a mindset, not a material condition.

You could be filthy rich (> $150k in savings) and still be scared to death about being fired.
If you are the X then you must do/be Y is called gatekeeping.

And of course this is not true.

I know mathematicians who work almost exclusively on a computer, and others who have an old dusty computer from 20 years ago in the corner of their office that they barely touch. Most are somewhere in between.
It is usually implemented as linked arrays. For example, arrays of 16 or 64 elements, if it grows over that size, new arrays or vectors are used underneath.

Two consecutive elements are probably in the same array, and that helps with cache locality.
What do you think of Uniswap?
It's too bad that AsciiDoc still hasn't really caught on like Markdown. It's a whole lot nicer for more-complicated documents. I understand their reasons for not using it here, but it still seems like a perfect fit for this task. Eclipse still seems to be working on a formal spec, but hopefully that will help implementations to grow and adoption to increase.

In any case, avoiding raw HTML is a huge improvement. I like this document. It's well written, and it provides a clear explanation for every major technical decision made on the way.
There’s a difference between harnessing diversity of personality and empowering an asshole.

If someone’s personality is “being a dick to people” and you have a choice for someone similarly talented who isn’t a dick to other people, what benefit is the personality trait of “is a dick”?

People have this obsession with the idea that people are successful because of their being a dick rather than in spite of it, and there is not evidence that being an asshole is the cause of success. There is plenty of evidence showing the damage it can cause.
Agreed. I'd say taste doesn't always require skill, but skill is necessarily accompanied by some measure of taste. It's even somewhat tautological in the sense that skill is the ability to generate something good, and taste is what defines what is good.
They may not be _totally_ independent, but the correlation coefficient is generally nowhere near 1. If you have reached the point where taste and skill are identical, then either you have none of either or you have reached perfection.

That being said, as your skill improves, your taste is likely to improve because you are better able to differentiate between high and low skill work. But in many cases, you don't need any skill to tell the difference. It's not exactly difficult to tell the difference between a mediocre amateur singer and a well trained professional. Where it gets really tricky though is that you may find that you may not prefer the most technically skilled practitioner. There are many people who would rather listen to Bob Dylan sing than Luciano Pavarotti. Is that poor taste? I'm not so sure. It's certainly possible to acknowledge Pavarotti's technical vocal superiority while still preferring Dylan. Whichever singer you prefer, you don't need any vocal skill to immediately tell the vast technical difference between the two. Many things are like this.
The metal chopsticks that I've tried are too slippery. Wood (even smooth wood) has just a bit more grip.
There is a large set of infrequently encountered (for most) but often highly important and/or time-sensitive things that having a traditional bank you can walk into makes much easier.

Consider: medallion signature guarantee, initiating an arbitrarily large sized wire to an arbitrary recipient, cashing a physical check where the payee and indorsement doesn't match automatic remote-deposit scrutiny, cashing a particularly large cashier's check, getting cash above an ATM withdrawal limit (even from another bank or in another country, in some cases), working around a stated policy, etc.

Online-only, mobile-only, and neo-banks basically say "eh" to these corner-case services. But a branch manager, even if they may not personally recognize you, will have surprising leeway and willingness to solve problems if they look at the CRM and see you're a longtime customer in good standing with some modicum of deposit / activity over time. Not so for a rando.

It's been very worth my while to forego a couple % in interest income for the annual "need an institution to help me fix this today" tax.

(But yeah, keep the corpus in something that will pay you.)
> How about highway signage showing which businesses are available on an exit

You don't need that signage. Standard "food, lodging, gas station at next exit" signs exist.

In Sweden sides of the road (10 meters or so) belong to the road administration and advertising and billboards in that space are prohibited because they interfere with road signage.

It's amazing.
If it is of any indication, Intel is still very strong amongst Steam users.

> k8s instead of Google App Engine or other managed PaaS

K8s is also available as a managed solution with GKE Autopilot, which in general is a breeze to use.

> You never worry about the problems listed in this article.

You still have to. If you look at the whole list of "how-to" guides one of the language docs for GAE (e.g. [0]), you see that there are about as much topics to worry about than if you were deploying to K8s. They also pretty much 1:1 map to things in K8s, but in contrast are non-standardized across vendors.

> deploying it with minimal config

I think the article laid out quite well how for a minimal deployment, the configuration you need for K8s is also pretty minimal. Yes, it might be more than a one-liner for a GAE config, but most of it is boilerplate you can ignore.

This past year, I've taken to throwing all of my plastic waste directly in the trash. It saves me time from trying to figure out if it's compostable or recyclable (god forbid I get it wrong) and gives me back a tinge of guilt that makes me wish I had bought something else with less packaging, or brought my own cup to the cafe.

Most plastics that claim to be recyclable aren't. And now it seems like most that claim to be compostable aren't either.

When will people realize that it's all a sham to make us buy more plastic shit?
I didn't realize this was hosted by SDF. Sorry to see it go, but hopefully it'll return on Mastodon.

> I love reveddit.com, it's hilarious to look at the typical r/science post and see 60%+ of comments removed on average (the 'controversial' ones go 75%+).

Yeah I mention r/science at 7:00 in the linked video.

> If the moderators agree with the study there is zero dissent tolerated. This subreddit has something like 1000+ moderators and they remove any comments that doesn't fit into Reddit's very narrowly defined overton window. Not just people being off-topic or taboo... but often anyone who questions the studies being posted.

I'm sure that's true. I haven't looked at the exact biases in that group too much. For awhile I was collecting examples of biased removals in certain groups, but that was just so I could come up with relatable stories to tell. I disagree with pretty much every secretive removal. Even in cases where someone is threatening violence I wonder whether we should keep such a removal secret from the author: an extremist in a given group, whose views went unchallenged, may perceive silence as agreement and therefore believe they're part of a team when in fact they're not.

> My only critique is that it doesn't work with Firefox. I have to pull up Chrome which I only use for work. Do you have a social media profile to follow/provide feedback to?

It does work on Firefox but you have to disable tracking protection [1]. The reason is because Reddit, to which Reveddit obviously must connect, appears on an arbitrary list of domains that Firefox's partner Disconnect.me considers to be "trackers" [2]. That list breaks tons of websites that are tracked and seemingly ignored in this 8 year old bug [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1101005]. The bug is updated with new sites almost every day. I'm not up to date on how browsers or standards are changing, but I'm guessing the Disconnect.me list is a hack until a better solution can be found.

I don't know of a better solution. I'm all ears if you have one provided it doesn't cost me more or hurt the site's operation by putting its logic on a server [3].

Legit question: is it "detriment to a generic diversified portfolio" or "detriment to a specific diversified portfolio"? (As in if my portfolio is diversified and it got decreased in value I have grounds to sue)

This is early stage funding. So basically $30 million are expected to be spent without any return or accountability (probably in middle east and africa, given the CEO profile)
Some game engine developers have certainly used this idea, to prevent any reallocations when the dynamic array needs to be resized. Such as:

https://ruby0x1.github.io/machinery_blog_archive/post/virtua...

Some ECS implementations use this to reduce the overhead of dynamic arrays, as well as ensuring pointer stability of the items stored. For example entt:

https://skypjack.github.io/2021-06-12-ecs-baf-part-11/

And here's a library implementing a resizable, pointer-stable vector using virtual memory functionality from the OS:

https://github.com/mknejp/vmcontainer
Right, the co-op solution is not to fire members, but split the burden of lean times across everyone. I don't think I've ever seen a CEO say, "I'll forgo my income this year to ensure we can keep the people here employed".
>We design our requests to collect the smallest amount of technical information required to validate the presence/version and/or vulnerability of a piece of software. We also design requests to limit the amount of personal data within the response. In the unlikely event that we do discover information that is personal or otherwise sensitive, we take steps to remove the data and prevent it from being captured again in the future.

what is preventing a government to disregard the removal of sensitive data? why can they not weaponize this?
There are quite a few sizable businesses (hundreds of MUSD) built on it / depending on it, that I know of :)

> I use k8s at work, i know it has benefits, but it too often feels like using a bazooka to butter your toast.

This is such a great description (I also for my job work exclusively on a platform based on Kubernetes). I ran K8s at home successfully for a while using K3s (such a great project/tool) to become more proficient. After a few months I found that there were so many features I didn't need for a homelab that the complexity wasn't worth it.

I feel like, at the moment, Kubernetes is awesome when you have two ingredients:

1. You go with a managed K8s offering (such as AWS EKS)

2. You have a team of engineers dedicated to the health of the K8s platform

It's pretty cool that a somewhat small platform team can wield the scaleability of a company like Google, BUT they need to be very good with K8s. And many workloads probably don't need that much scaleability.
Twitter layoffs seems fine and natural to me
For most of employees, their stock was converted to cash. They the got benefit of being at twitter one way or the other. And this isn't an end to anything. Let's work hard, look forward friends.
Are you watching 4K videos everywhere? On you phone? Every hour of every day?

Most people won't even notice if it's 1024p instead of 4k. Really

"1TB per month" sounds awfully entitled. And yeah, deprioritizing sounds like a fair solution.
This is awesome!

Also how did you embed the workflow editor/results in the homepage?
Wow, based on the date on the drawing, you've been chowing flaming hots with chopsticks for a decade. Do you have any lining left in your esophagus? I can only eat them in moderation (and can no longer eat the extra flaming hots at all — they give me a 'sore throat' feeling a couple hours later).
When edges are REALLY weighted...
It really depends on your definition of macro [1]. Modern programming languages like Scala, Julia, Nim, Rust etc are supporting hygienic macro.

According to D authors Mixin is not macro because Mixin still looks like D language while supporting macro would meant the inclusion of macro (hygienic or not), and depending on the implementation, most often than not will render the language unrecognizable (become non intuitive). Again if someone is purposely writing a DSL in D for generating a new language's AST then that's perfectly fine. Essentially the output is another programming language because it is the intentional product of the exercises but the original programming language is still intuitive.

I suppose you can have runtime macro like VBA but Python language designers refused to incorporate it due to issues as mentioned beforehand.

Pessimism vs Optimism
I think you're not really seeing my point. Nobody here is a kid. You acting as an adult comes off from a position of benevolence towards children, which is in its own way belittling to Egyptians as a former colony of England. Like England the parent should do the 'right thing' in your opinion to Egypt its child.

Modern Egyptians don't have anything in common with ancient Egyptians. The artifacts found were in places long abandoned and forgotten, sometimes in places looted in antiquity. Sometimes in the middle of the desert. I don't understand what laws you think were broken. The British didn't raid any museums or enter people's homes (in so much as dig beneath them where the people had NO idea anything was there). They actually built the museums in Cairo where these artifacts are stored. Is there a proportion of artifacts that were taken from Egyptians, possibly stolen by the British? Absolutely. But the modern Egyptians owning those artifacts have so little in common with the ancient Egyptians that their own possession comes from theft anyway. The difference is the British used them for archeological purposes that gave the artifact a different value. There is so little claim to genealogical ancestry by modern Egyptians that its preposterous to even have this conversation from. Especially when they've been looting and smashing grave sites since antiquity. [0] The history of ancient Egypt is the history of the World at this point. But its within the interests of Egypt As The State to safeguard its treasures because they derive their (quite profitable) national identity from it.

[0]https://nyupress.org/9781479820078/a-physician-on-the-nile/

FWIW, archeological expeditions happen in foreign countries all the time, and the ownership of found objects is pretty clearly negotiated before a dig site is even planned. It would be fucking stupid for a university to finance a trip where it actually can't possess or at least lease out the items it finds. Obviously, in countries embattled by instability and corruption it's much harder to fairly negotiate the status of artifacts, like in the article you linked.

Looking for a Machine Learning Teacher
I'm seeking for someone that is knowledgeable with machine learning.

You give me a task, and I do it.
You would be my instructor.

I am a newbie with a background in web development.
in Mathematica at least, you can use TraditionalForm to format your equations like maths. and what's more, you can edit things in that form without dropping out of it. you can also make palettes for commonly used symbols and such. it's not a magic blackboard, but with the symbolic nature of Mathematica and the rendering, it's kinda close.
Some steam games I've installed this month were 96gb, 48gb, and 72gb. That's to say nothing of videoconferencing, watching media, etc etc.

1TB is pretty modest for a household.
In 10 years Google will be a fading memory (one hopes). Once they die, K8s dies.

K8s' fatal flaw was being too big for its britches. As individual pieces, none of the K8s services are useful. Nobody downloads and installs just one of the components for use in some other project. And for that reason, it will always be just one big fat ugly monolith of fake microservices.

The architecture that will come afterward will be the model we've had since the 90s: single components that do their job well, that can be combined with other components in a hobbled-together way, that together make up a robust system. The same thing that lets you build an architecture out of PostgreSQL, Ory, Nginx, Flask, React, Prometheus, ELK, etc: they're all separate, but they can all be combined the way you want, when you want. And they're all optional.
Do you still display content removed by their authors and not the moderators?

I have fairly poor manual dexterity (I struggle to use a spoon sometimes!) due to tremors. Chopsticks are really, really hard to use for me, and "trainers" make them about on par with a fork or spoon for my situation. A solid piece of metal would be easier to clean.
