What does state of the art facial recognition do to operational technique in China ?
I just tried using the app tutorial the other week as a newcomer to ActivityPub. I found it rather difficult to follow because it's so abstracted and it has you dive in head first doing a lot at once. And there are parts left as an exercise to the reader, which leaves gaps that makes it harder. And there are a few bugs in the tutorial code to boot. I feel like the author was very thoughtful about the whole thing, and very thorough, which I appreciate, but was too deep into it to put himself in the headspace of someone who is new to ActivityPub per se. Just my guess, of course.

I'm trying go-ap now and it's better in that I can jump in and use small parts of it, but it still could use more documentation.
Came to say this. Some locations must still have it good, but where I live in the US, delivery dates are 7 to 8 days. Almost every retailer is way faster than Amazon.
I've gone through a bajillion iterations of this: notebook + pen, tiny carry everywhere notebook + pen, surface pro + pen (this was really good for sitting down studying and class, not good for quick notes obvoiusly), and right now am on samsung zfold 3 and pen as a replacement for all classes of notetaking.

I have three note taking times:

1. Meetings, online or in person
2. Instant. Examples: vet suddenly telling me medicine mgs for my lizard. At hackathon and someone telling me some new software I wanna try. Unexpected philosophical insight from podcast while at gym.
3. Reading book (anywhere: cafe, train, desk, couch)
4. Studying time (at desk)

For said methods, the crosssection of effective note taking strategies I've found to be:

Spiral notebook and pen: meetings, reading book, studying time. Too big to have on me at all times for instant.

Smaller notebook (like, traditional moleskin sized) with pen: effective at all, including instant IF I had my backpack on me, so not truly great for instant.

Surface pro + pen: good for meetings and study time, somewhat ok at reading notes, phenomenal at reading notes if reading on the device itself (splitscreen reading app with onenote). EXCELLENT for classes and meetings because of quick multi-color pen functionality.

Upgrade to notebook resulted from surface pro: use multi-color pen instead of simple black pen. Now same study benefits as smaller notebook, with increased effectiveness in meeting and classes. Missing: cut + paste from surface pro, uploading to onenote to read on phone, etc.

Teensy tiny notebook + pen: best at instant notes, kinda shit at all other notes because so tiny, like think detective notebook. Possibly improved by better strategies, just had conversation with actual detective who made me realize I was probably using the notebook wrong.

Foldy phone with samsung pen thing: Similar to surface pro in effectiveness, better in terms of portability and always having on me (making its instant effectiveness better), worse in terms of its simply kinda small. Would love to use this for reading notes as well, right now can "kinda" split screen but it's really too small for that, would prefer in-same-reading-app note taking feature, yet to find good app for that (considering my books are epubs, this is probably impossible. PDF markup not bad though! in samsung notes app. Surpsrisingly good app). Thing about instant notes is, it's hard to hold, and still slower to get going than a tiny notebook + pen. I'm going to attach a little ring to the back and see if that makes me feel more confident holding this absurdly expensive device in one hand while writing on it while standing up.

TLDR: Technological investment cost of ipad + pen could be worth if you really like the digital features of cloud, multi-device, organization etc. Otherwise, recommend much cheaper option of smaller ipad-sized notebooks + multi-color-in-one pens (check jetpens). Also, this is more fun imo than using digital device, and retains better tactile experience (good for me with ADHD: can click pen as fidget activity).
I didn't read a lot about it, but I recall that Microsoft created a language called P that was a DSL for writing device drivers (more generally, state machines, but I think the point was to use it for device drivers). I also recall they (allegedly, at least) used it to rewrite the USB stack for Windows 8.

Looks like they released the compiler under the MIT license and put it on Github, so you may want to look into it.

>I don't want to hire someone who was one of the worst performers at Facebook.

I get what you are saying, but the worst performer at Facebook is most likely going to be a MUCH better engineer/programmer than a mid-level or low-level technician at YOUR company. Maybe it is true that they don't measure up any more at Facebook, but they might not measure up by 1 or 2% so they got cut. But that is still WAY better than anyone at someone else's company. The workers that get cut are the "A-" GPA employees. The ones with a 4.0 stay.

What is going to happen is that the high-end "A-" employees at the "A" companies are pushed down to the "B" level companies, and the "B" level employees will now be pushed down to "C" level companies. And the "C" level people are going to be pushed out the door. The lowest level workers are going to have the toughest time overall and especially "C" level new hires most of all.

As the saying goes, shit flows downhill, and "C" level employees and new hires are always at the bottom of the totem pole.
I think the hard part is to know when caching is not allowed, and for that the compiler is a good point to manage such a cache because it could add metadata such as compiler version (maybe even patches?), compiler flags etc which a wrapper may miss. This disintegration of ccache and the compiler makes me not really trust it because these two could easily get out of sync and you would not easily notice when/why the result is wrong.

I'm not so sure, there are more "shy" conservatives than people realise. Moving towards the centre will stabilise the party, and if they do loose the next election there is an inherent culling of the current crop of right wind MPs.

The likely hood is that, if Labour win, they will be faced with such a mess that they will struggle to make the necessary improvements. The conservatives, will move towards the centre, and with the right leader could regain power after a single term out.

The left is fragmented (party wise), the right is not. Labour will always have an uphill battle unless we have electoral reform.
I fail to see which advantage is conferred by the Euro to the German economy, at least in the relationship with UK.

Unlike Germany, UK has always been free to establish any exchange rate they desired, between GBP and EUR. So only UK could have any advantages from the manipulation of the currencies.

Within the countries that use EUR, it can be claimed that Germany has the advantage that the other countries cannot cheat and compensate other economic problems by playing with the exchange rate. In my opinion that is a good thing, because stealing money from the people by devaluating their assets through artificial exchange rates is not the right solution for solving international commerce imbalances.

The way twitter was run, the job was probably being done by 5 workers and 16 managers who mostly played corn-hole and 'relaxed' during much of the day. A team that met only for 2 hours after lunch everyday to "knock out some projects" and then wind-down in the smoothie room. I don't know why everyone thinks they can run a large organization better than a man like Elon Musk.
I heard from coworkers about how in the 70s in New Jersey, headhunters would get ahold of a phone directory from some facility in Bell Labs and just go thru the entire directory.

Times when real flame wars existed. Fought by persons and characters, not by big media.

"During the Cabal's last days, its death was quicken by "comp.women" debacle, as it was later known. In summer, 1988, a newsgroup for woman was proposed. Its creation became the subject of a massive flame war because its supporters wanted to put it in the comp.* groups because this would insure a better propagation. Opponents noted that this hierarchy was devoted to far more technical things. After much discussion someone created a "comp.society.woman" out of exasperation. This person got a great deal of flamage for doing so, but the group came to life after it was created. "
I would like to take better notes when reading books. Considering getting a kobo with stylus system, but most my books epubs, not sure compatibility, would appreciate advice. I also have a samsung z fold 3, and I find the pdf markup in samsung notes app to actually be really good, but I'm not sure I wanna convert my books to PDF just for markup reasons. Yet to find good android app for marking up epub, after briefly looking into epub and based on my basic understanding of ebook formats, I believe it's kinda simply a too hard technical problem to build an app around.

Yes, it’s 1 cycle but it’s longer to decode and occupies more of l1i cache. It’s not all about execution cycles.
If you enjoy tight feedback loops and want something even quicker than "rebuild on save", you should try something like Clojure and hook up your editor to a REPL running in the background. Rather than "recompile the whole program on save", you can send small snippets to be evaluated in the live environment, updating your program on the fly :)

That’s a good point, but a movie doesn’t have to be a blockbuster to be good or even successful. Plenty of movies have tackled similar niche areas. It’s not like Flash Boys would need a massive budget and probably couldn’t even successfully use big name actors.

There have been repeated attempts to get a movie out of it so I assume there must be some good reason for the repeated failure.
My ex befriended her Indian coworker and then his wife. Turns out the pressure cooker is the secret to some Indian cuisine as well.

It and this reminded me of a different hack I heard about at one point, using whip cream dispenser to do herbal infusion. Seems the pressure helps transfer the flavors. Just open a window unless you want to get high while cooking (sharp instruments and hot surfaces are better employed by a clear mind)

The slow cooker entered into a world of working mothers, it was a Have Your Cake and Eat It Too invention, because like the automatic timer on a coffee pot it let you be elsewhere while the food prepared.

The instant pot partly solves that problem but also solves another: The slow cooker requires forethought and stable dinner plans. The instant pot lets you make last hour decisions. For long commuters, the person stuck at the office can tell you they're on their way home and the food is hot shortly after they get there (though to be fair, slow cookers have a forgiving window of edibility). If you're a space cadet you can still prepare a fancy meal even if you didn't think about it in the morning. And even if have to run to the grocery store for ingredients.
Apologies; I am not a git user. I thought every git commit was signed, excuse my ignorance. I'm surprised something in PyPi can be shipped without any signatures, but I'm not shocked; I'm not a fan of language-specific repositories. NPM is an example of what I'm not a fan of.

That doesn't matter. Who cares how the public sees him? All that's going to matter is how a jury sees him shortly. And the prosecution will be able to present evidence.

In the meantime, let him keep speaking on the record and admitting to things. And providing a show for those of use who are paying attention.

Besides, I'm not sure how many "average listeners" are going to be tuning into the NYT event. I assume it's mostly people who have been following the story.

In the early '80s at MIT, we learned the CLU [0] language. The wonderful aspect of that compiler is that when it hit a syntax error it would suspend compilation for a few dozen lines, or whatever it took to get past the blast radius of the error, and then continue compiling, looking for further errors. You'd see the error message on the faulty line, and then a "... resuming compilation here" message showing where it would start checking for more error messages.

You (obviously) wouldn't get a useable binary, but at least you'd see more than one error at a time, without the cascading sequence of errors you see in (most?) current compilers.

Technically, yes. But that's not how things are. Because I don't interact with instances based on their T&C, I respond to my friends and other people online.

It's not the debt that matters but the change in debt, aka the deficit / surplus. If the debt stays constant, so does the money supply. The absolute level of the debt doesn't matter with regards to inflation, it's the change in the levels of debt that matter.

A larger debt means more interest payments which makes a significant deficit more likely, but it's that deficit, aka change in money supply, that affects inflation not the absolute size of the debt.

Just as a thought exercise: What are you going to say 3 years from now when a hiring manager asks why you willingly chose to start working for someone who had just wantonly admitted that he intended to be abusive to his staff and force them to work nights and weekends for a venture that he was actively undermining? Is this representative of the judgment you use on a regular basis, and if it is why should that manager trust you near their area of responsibility?
It's been ages since I've played with iframes, but I'm pretty sure it does (or at least did?). You might have to specify an allow policy [0] but that's no problem if you control both sides. Since iframes are secure, data wouldn't leak unless the iframe explicitly posts it.

I don't know if you can request permissions from the iframe (might confuse people), but if you already have them, it ought to be fine.

Almost certainly. See picture [1]. According to Wikipedia, they're ~87 ft x ~87 ft x ~44 ft = 333k cuft [2]

These reactors are supposed to be a max of 4 containers in size.

So ~12 of them would be ~48 containers = 4x6x2 = ~80 ft x ~60 ft x ~30 ft = 144k cuft.

Though, I doubt you'd want to stack them like that, and I imagine you'd need more than just the reactors to replace the engine.

But more importantly - container ships need space and weight for ~66k gallons of diesel per day - about ~3M gallons total. That's an additional ~401k cuft for diesel, and ~13,500 tons... Each TEU is 22 tons - so you could probably carry an additional 600 TEU (or ~3.5% more).
