I think a better way to say this is "No company is absolutely perfect"

Binary statements aren't helpful, especially when one of the two binary options is impossible (perfect companies don't exist).

The real problem with binary statements is that it opens the door to people justifying severe problems at one company because "all companies are fucked up". Some problems are very different than others, and it's not really useful to lump them all into one bucket labeled "fucked up" that every company fits into.

> lol. All companies are fucked up... the trick is finding a company that's fucked up in a way that works for you.

This almost starts to touch on the nuance, but I think it's really important to clarify that not all companies are toxic, or abusive, or have incompetent executives, or underpay people, etc. There are entire classes of companies doing things that shouldn't be tolerated, especially when there are so many companies not doing those things that would be happy to hire good employees.

> I'm a social ignoramus so wondering: is the cyclist in this case being a "Karen"?

No, I'd say it's more of an act of civil disobedience meant to draw attention to the casually corrupt practices of the NYPD. The driver is likely affiliated with government or the police department. Officers have been found doing it themselves.
And is also completely unrealistic. Russia will never be "pro-western", no matter who rules it.

I did this mod! It is fairly painless as far as mods go, and the result is amazing. It even appears to run longer than with the original screen.
My family does it for a living, going back a few generations. You can choose to live and work in the city, but what most of my ancestors did was buy a house on the outskirts of a relatively wealthy suburban area, like you find around almost any city. Once the houses get far enough away that you can't reasonably commute to downtown they become more affordable. You can find a sweet spot where it is reasonable to drive to the houses of the people who commute into the city, but not to do so yourself. Then your charging city rates and paying country prices. Next best thing to working remotely.
Given that they’re both open source and can be customised using turing-complete languages, the only limit to possibilities is how much effort you’re willing to put into customising them. Even CVS has the possibility of working as a distrubuted system if you wrap it up in enough layers of hacky shell scripts ;)

Having done quite a bit with both mercurial (which the sapling CLI is based on) and git, I find that the mercurial approach has a lot more sane defaults, is generally less effort for the same results, and has a lot of quality-of-life improvements — like git has the possibility of doing interactive commits with `git add -i`, but sapling's interactive-commit interface actually makes it usable.

In this particular case I agree with you. But how would you write this into a law that citizens and police can reference to determine whether a particular action is ok or not?
Is clandestinely funding anti-woke causes any more, or less, nefarious in your opinion?

It's very likely that they just include the new heroes in the existing new hero grind. If you get just OW2 (without having owned OW1), you have to go through around 100 games to unlock the entire roster.
Everything stored on encrypted ZFS. Backups are done using syncoid in rend-mode, so the remote gets the encrypted version. I make backups to a couple friends' servers who also use ZFS, and they make backups to me.

The encryption key is stored in my KeePass password database, which is synced locally to all my devices. I back up the database separately by sending it to friends, so that if I ever lose access to all my devices I can still get my database with the key I need to get the rest of my backups.

If all that fails, like if I die or for some medical reasons suddenly forget my passwords, the encryption key is written down on a piece of paper. Stored somewhat secretly, some people I trust know where.

"woke agenda" is not a mainstream political term, and the fact you state it is demonstrates both your own position (to the far right) and inability to step outside of that viewpoint and discuss issues from a genuinely detached viewpoint.

I hope that, like me, you enjoy the rest of your day.
Not live sports. At least the picture clarity and resolution has vastly improved, along with the sheer number of camera angles, but digital pollution of the screen space has proliferated and ads have not gone anywhere, and where they used to sometimes be fairly amusing, they're largely just depressing now since they're 75%+ for betting services, with PSAs warning you not to lose your family's life savings sprinkled in here and there. And you can't make a live event on-demand.
You purchased a licence to play OW1 that definitely included a clause that they can stop providing the service at any time for any reason.

Unsure if these have been rigorously tested in court though.
Finally. Github search sucks so bad currently.

I've gone through the effort of cloning a repo and using grep before because when I searched for a variable name/function name on github it couldn't find something I found myself later on.
ugh, thanks. noted
For what it’s worth, I’ve managed to successfully mod a Game Boy Advance as a total soldering noob, with a cheap poor quality iron from Amazon. Some mods (particularly for home consoles) are difficult as all hell if you’re inexperienced, but the Game Boy tends to be fairly easy-going. There’s also an increasing number of mods (particularly screens) that are slightly more expensive, but are solder-less (or solder optional). Macho Nacho on YouTube covers quite a few of them.

As for your buttons, you can buy new rubber membranes that make contact with the board to register the press. Give the board a good clean with isopropyl and pop some new membranes in and your buttons will no doubt be good as new—no soldering needed!

Didn't the driver call the police though?
Most algorithms are judged on time (runtime performance) and space (memory requirements). That's a good place to start.

I don’t think there’s an automated plate recognition system on the planet which works 100% of the time. This is a super hard problem to begin with.
if I compare the one dimensional threads of twitter with tree-rendered threads, I find the conversations emerging to be different, on HN and reddit. Of course head topic/subreddit play into the nature of the discussion, my impression is I walk away with having consumed more voices. It's less personal in absence of avatar images, less face-to-face with the top-bottom reply view in twitter. Classical BBS forums have the same disadvantage.

I'm intrigued by lots of users using a federated system and curious how it works out and I look forward to read activitypub distributed posts tree rendered.
Lived abroad for a while in a country I didn’t speak the language in at first. Felt so much better when I didn’t get the normal “Ad” dose day to day just from casually watching TV. (Very anecdotal)

I still feel disappointed about GW2. GW1 had the most ambitious and innovative and interesting class build system we'd seen 'til then and arguably ever since. It was crazy what was possible. Also still the best structured PvP we've ever gotten in an MMO.
Well GitHub Copilot tells me 2040, if I pose everything up to "Answer: " as a Python comment in an empty file. And if I remove the "Question" and "Answer" parts, just leaving the question itself, Copilot gives me this Youtube link on a comment on a new line: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0fKg7e37bQE

So I guess it implies that understanding GitHub basics are the new Turing test? I'm confused.
I think it's to make it clearer why Goodsey didn't just state it in his Tweet. He really was reluctant, but later decided (or got clearance) to tell it on the record.
I know this sounds trite, but you should give OW2 another go with a group of regular friends. You can setup custom games with super goofy rules or use some of the excellent existing custom game codes, and not even touch the competitive aspect of the game.
Cars are sacred property to some. I’ve known people who have been assaulted by drivers for daring to touch their precious vehicle as they are about to be ran over.
My assumption is that we are moving back to a pre-covid buyers market for the tech industry. It did feel like childs play to get a job during covid, from anywhere. I am certainly happy that I found (German) clients and a job during the covid period, and don't have to go looking for them now.
OpenBSD's Game of Trees is also an alternative that's git compatible, in case that hasn't been mentioned.
Many who blanket-praise the vaccine as you have, are doing so from a pre-existing "team sport" position on the subject. I'm not saying you are, but it's common.

I live in a place which has the unfortunate claim of longest, harshest lockdown in the world (Victoria, Australia). Multiple lengthy lockdowns, curfews, masks outside enforced by cops, sitting on the beach was illegal, taking kids to park illegal; people were literally chased down the street by cops demanding to "see your papers". Many cops resigned, and now in 2022 Victoria is struggling to find new recruits after a mass exodus of cops - many of whom did not agree with the job they were ordered to do.

Most people here do not consider those lockdowns a "success", and experts including epidemiologists have referred to our lockdowns as "draconian", and harmful.

Now, in 2022 we have more covid deaths than before, and that's with a very high rate of vaccination in the community, particularly the older age groups. But they're still dying at a record rate. The virus still spreads and still takes out vaccinated and boosted victims. Therefore, I would never adopt the blanket "thankful" rhetoric that you've shared. Thankful for lockdowns, thankful for mandates, thankful for what is frankly, an underwhelming vaccine compared to other vaccines. Yet, "saved millions of lives" is the go-to catch-phrase, and anything else can't possibly be true. Can it.
There is a strip club near me that is quite a ways off the interstate. They put up a sign so large you can see it from the interstate. For good measure they added in a lighthouse like light that revolves.

Is there any indication he damaged the property by moving the piece of plastic? From the picture it seems like it was just wedged under a screw, so you could probably pull it off without causing any damage.

Maybe some other statute comes into play, buy criminal mischief doesn't seem fitting unless he, say, snapped it off.
That's basically the premise, yes.

I am not the best person to address everything point by point as I am not putting enough thought into it, but perhaps I could point (heh) you in the right direction.

Sure you could let Visa do this (as they and Mastercard handle most online payments now anyways), and it would probably work as well as Visa/Mastercard work now, but for some people that is not good enough.

1. Differentiate clearing (telling you you now have some money) and settlement (you getting the money you "have"). For Visa and Mastercard the latter takes days or more.

2. Permissionless means that you don't need any entity's permission to transact. Visa and Mastercard definitely require permission, and on occassion don't give it for various legal but "immoral" things like porn, Wikileaks, and who knows what in the future.

3. Borderless is kind of similar to permissionless. As soon as you bring in legacy behemoths like Visa into it, this kind of goes away.

4. With decentralization, fees are determined objectively (you pay to get in, and if there is enough demand, regardless of price, blocks are full). A monopolist would charge as much as they could get away with, sometimes even if that means no transactions are being performed.

---

I would say that with a Visa(like) company, you definitely lose 2, and 4 will probably have some bullshit involved.

Anecdotally, members of the NYPD, celebrities, and politicians are all among the classes of people who are the most dangerous drivers in the city. It wouldn't surprise me if most of the "unsolved" fatalities have one of them on the other end.

Right, the feeling I get now across a lot of their efforts is that they're becoming increasingly addicted and intoxicated by looking at their account balances.
I don't blame git, I'm mostly surprised about the social inertia regarding improving it. But like programming languages, pressure accumulate until it's released, I'm sure sapling and similar will make people want to try new things and git will soon catch up.
I used to live across the street from AT&T Plaza in downtown Dallas, which now has this 70-foot jumbotron monstrosity lighting up 10 city blocks, 99% of the time with a screensaver: https://attd.imgix.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/13155803/A...

So glad I moved right before they started construction on this. This is on 24/7, and how that is remotely acceptable in a place people live I have no idea.

He did not like/agree with the stats, lol.
It seems like there was some favoritism towards a city employee, which if true would be bad. The person covering their license plate should face consequences regardless of their position or connections (and possibly even fired from their job).

But quite frankly this bicyclist is in the wrong here. In general, if you are going to put your hands on other people, or their stuff, you better be prepared to explain how doing so was necessary and that you had no alternative.

The only thing in danger here is city revenue (it's not like the fines were improving the driver's driving). This sort of busy-body vigilantism is tedious.

"The cloud" is also massively parallel software. If I run a Google search, many thousands of CPUs will be brought to bear on my query, and a gazillion DIMMs, and all the throughput of a hell of a lot of SSDs, and so on. If you just happened to have a copy of the web, and an index of it, on "a computer" no matter how big, it would be impossible to get prompt answers.

If Google (or whomever) needs to run voice models, they take your query and all the other queries that arrive in the same millisecond, smoosh them all together and shove the batch into a TPU and run it. You don't have any TPUs and you also don't have any traffic you can use to amortize the cost of your infrequent queries.

The idea that you could run these kinds of ML inference tasks is economically fanciful. You would need a huge investment in hardware and the opex would be ridiculous.

>Controlling gaseous matter

>Controlling gaseous matter is the measurement and control of gaseous material in a process or in a location, such as in a room or a building. This is commonly done using instruments that measure the concentration of the material. A common use of this is in the detection of dangerous gases such as carbon monoxide, which can be fatal if breathed in in high concentrations.

Nothing to say about the other 2 common state variables... just "n/V" harumph.

I'm probably the only person, but I feel like the tradeoff in value I get for advertising is reasonable. Would the world be a better place w/o ads? Maybe, but I don't see how you avoid a world where there are competing products and one tries to convince you somehow to use their product/service. It seems almost as natural as requiring payment for providing a service.
He's a lawyer though, so that's his thing.
I'd say the biggest problem with advertising is it increases perceived value and utility where none exists, and overtime makes people think certain products are cheaper, environmentally friendly or just benefitial
This comment is inaccurate, the way CO2 traps heat isn't from the sun, but the thermal black body radiation from the surface.
The first thing I tried was "Lipschitz selection", a somewhat overloaded phrase that I encountered a lot in graduate school. I guess I had in mind a summary of this paper:

https://arxiv.org/abs/1801.00325

but would have been happy with a description of work related to this paper:

https://arxiv.org/abs/1905.11968

or any number of other things.

The page I got stated the following, obviously false, "theorem": let M be a metric space, and let S be a subset of M such that inf_{y in S} d(x, y) < infinity for all x in M. Then there exists a map f: M to S such that f(x) = x for all x in S. As far as I can tell, this isn't a garbling of something which is true, it's just nonsense.

It suggested that I look up "Whitney extension" which is indeed related to the first paper I posted, so I did that. The opening summary, if you squint hard enough, could arguably be interpreted as true:

> The theorems state that any sufficiently smooth function on a closed subset of Rn can be extended to a function on all of Rn with the same level of smoothness.

This is really vague though. Like if someone didn't know the actual statement of Whitney's theorem, they would not be able to intuit it from this sentence. You have to be really, really charitable to describe it as true. I'm not being nitpicky here, Whitney produced a pretty non-trivial definition of the notion of a C^m function on an arbitrary closed set (basically you have to specify the entire mth order Taylor polynomial at each point, or a section of the jet bundle if you're fancy). You can check out the actual wikipedia if you're interested:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitney_extension_theorem

The body of the generated article goes into more detail, and again produces something which is completely false, and not particularly close to anything that is true:

> Whitney's extension theorem states that any continuous function on a closed subset of Rn can be extended to a C∞ function on Rn.

Finally, I should just say that this is all still really impressive. The sentences are grammatical, and use words somewhat related to the subject at hand. I could imagine a student who hadn't studied the material and was totally in over his head in the class writing things like this on an exam! But I would never use this as a research tool.
Sapling originated from the Mercurial open source project, which was largely Python (at the time).

Just to finish up, most of Mercurial has been rewritten in Rust, although the Python version is still the default install.

So per-node there is an order of changes (read internals doc), and all of changes are sent to JS in that commit order. These changes when replayed will always eventually result in same values.
The author must have gotten permission to repeat this even though it was a "private" Convo. This is just a way for the original source to avoid heat while still giving out the information.
And local government officials run on platforms of vowing not to let police enforce these sort of actions. Not allowed to enforce speeding fines, parking fines, lack of license plate fine, public nuisance fines. I'm not sure what the end game is.

I understand the rationale that these indirectly target people of lower economic background, but is this sort of policy going to improve all this? Should we get our laws and standards down to the lowest common denominator? I'd love to hear balanced and convincing counter arguments, because the compassion card isn't quite convincing as is.
