I'm not a fan of the blinking reminders either, but it's not a monitor it's just a flashing version of the "remind me in the months" wheel or whatever.

The problem they face is a hard one. There are really two timelines you care about, one is how long it stays effective, the second is how long it is safe.

The first one especially is highly affected by both usage patterns and the water quality you are starting with. With an inline system I'd sort of hope to have reasonable monitoring, but Brita filters are fundamentally passive devices, to do this "properly" your going to 10x-100x your costs, maybe worse.

A less cynical (than pure profit motive) take on the timing would be that the lifteimes are all based on some sort of average case for usage and (bad?) test case for hardness and water quality. I suspect they have to be careful in what they say about how best to adjust this without opening themselves up to liability, so they don't.

Except they actually keep suspending accounts for violations of the hateful content policy, specifically for Tweets with fairly mild criticism of Musk and nothing that even superficially relates to what is prohibited by the hateful content policy.
How about just consulting a lawyer each time you abuse a protocol to get user's software to behave in a way that is invisible to them and benefits you?

There is already a correct way to tell a browser to tell the server something with each subsequent request: Cookies. Nobody needs to "write some code" here; it's already written. Working around the protocol isn't engineering, it's just lying.

This blog post is just another cynical degredation of trust between users and their browsers, and browers and the servers they talk to. Just another part of HTTP that we can't use for what it was designed for anymore because servers want so desperately to track visitors uniquely and a significant subset of visitors would prefer not to be remembered uniquely.
It's a reminder that even some of our brightest minds are susceptible to the Dunning-Kruger Effect.

It continues to look as if Musk believes a Twitter turn-around is largely a technical project--rather than tending to a community of users.

Based on your virulent tone I suspect you still harbor strong resentment against your childhood bullies. I somewhat get that, I was bullied too and I still hate those kids.

As an adult however I realize that my bullies were actually abused children who had a rough time at home and took it out on me at school.

> When they break a bullies nose/arm/etc and get suspended you should not only encourage them to continue you should celebrate the victory.

Sorry, but this is completely sociopathic insanity. Celebrating one child maiming another? What is this, the hunger games?

> Bullies aren't beat enough at home, so it's your job to bring the beatings to them.

Do you think it's ever ok for an adult to beat a child? You have it all wrong, it's the kids who are beat who become bullies.

> If you are not capable of violence you are not peaceful, you are harmless.

Capable of violence is one thing, systemically encouraging it as part of normal upbringing is however strictly antisocial.

> definition of "lunatic" - "a person who is mentally ill (not in technical use)."

Have you, your relatives or your friends ever used the phrases "are you insane?" and "are you out of your mind"? Were they being insesitive. Should you/they be more thoughtful how it would be perceived by other people, that you/they so casually use a very modern (and not 19th century) refernces to mental illness?

What about, I don't know, Insane Clown Posse who formed in 1989 and won Outstanding Hip-Hop Artist/Group at Detroit Music Awards? They probably need to re-think their name, too?

Looney Tunes? (Looney is the same as Lunatic) Or looking at some of the adjacent terms, perhaps Animaniacs?

The list just goes on. And on. And on. AND ON.
Coincidentally I'm currently doing exactly the same thing. This is what I've learnt so far.

OCR was the first problem. My photos of the book were not great; the pages were curved in the photos and it was causing trouble for many OCR packages. Ultimately, I found that the built-in OCR in Google Photos is amazingly good, and I was able to just cut and paste the text out of the photos with barely any corrections.

As for, PDF/EPUB/etc, I went for EPUB because it works better on a variety of screen sizes (it can reflow the text of course), but also because I intended to read it on my Kindle.

Amazon produces free software that allows you to create books for kindle, but it will only allow you to publish directly to the Kindle store. You can't even produce a preview copy to test on your Kindle.

So I abandoned that and used Calibre instead. It's OSS, and not too difficult to work with, but it works by importing Word docs or HTML files, so I had to convert my text to HTML.

An EPUB file is just a zip file filled with XML, any images and some metadata, so it's easy to edit by hand.

As for images: my source images are very poor quality and I've been experimenting with AI restoration and upscaling, with limited success so far.

I'm proofreading the book on my Kindle at the moment, and I must say it's very satisfying.

The link throws a 503 rn. I wonder what would be the reason
A consistent 5 ms difference in micro-benchmarks is definitely not "measurement noise". Noise averages out way before accumulating to 5ms. There must be a reason and it mostly likely relates to the change. So you can confidently say that removing bounds checking (at least with how you did it) is a regression.

... that being said, I'd argue that the most beneficial memory-safety feature of Rust is about temporal things (i.e. prevents UAF etc) instead of spatial ones.
That strikes me as a very unnecessary ad hominem.

I personally think their statement has a high likelihood of being valid, at least in part, and only on a probabilistic basis.

Your response indicates they hit a nerve.
What? The question was "In what ways is he crazy", and your parent comment is a perfectly ok response to that question. At no point has anyone said, "he is crazy/has said or done these bad things and therefore he is wrong about this subject".
RedPen.cc, Vale.sh, TextLint, and LanguageTool are all invaluable NL linters. Low hanging fruit.

CodeSpell is a universal spell checker that understands most markup, as long as it's not some demonic XML/SGML specification from the Department of Defense.

If you really want to be a hardass, pre-commit hook based on a NL linter and a spellchecker.

OK, low hanging fruit. That's the first stop.

Second stop is to understand what needs to come out, and what needs to come in. This is going to depend on, well, what you're doing. Sketch something out with graphviz or plantuml to catch the flows. If you can, talk to the audience, and classify them if you can. In aerospace we have "maintenance levels" (lots of different acroterms for that) which delineate how well trained the audience needs to be to perform the task being considered. But anyway.

Third stop

How similar are the deliverables? Do you want to re-use any of the content? Or do you want to optimize on BDMs (Big Dumb Manuals) aka - maybe using a more scientific term here - unified manuals?

If you want to chunk the content up (using conditional content to filter out stuff), you have a few options, ranging from the XML world (DITA, DocBook, S1000D) to the world of lightweight markup (Asciidoc includes+conditional directives, MarkdownPP extension, RsT includes, etc). Broadly known as Component Content Systems. Don't get fast-talked; the vendors are insistent and they are all liars of one stripe or another. CCS isn't a cure-all, and XML isn't the "ultimate doc language". CCS isn't even an optimal fit for most purposes. But sometimes it is, and it can save you some time.

CCM/CCS is composed of the following:

*files* (DMs, topics, etc) that contain content,

*conditions* (applic, ditaval, etc) that customize content, and

*maps* (PMs, ditamaps, etc) that point to *files* to create a doc,

and a *product* that is being documented.

The relationship between the *product* and the *files+conditions+map(s)* is what's sometimes called document *architecture*.

*Architecture* can contain

1) the document "chunking" (how *files* are created/named) and

2) the *conditions* needed for a particular deliverable, and

3) how the *maps* that generate the deliverable tie the content deliverable to the *product*.

Currently, when people are just experimenting with the CCS concept, I advise them to try it out with Asciidoc, because you can do that right now, versus paying a hundred grand and waiting a few weeks for your DITA solution. Sure, some vendors are great, but a lot aren't, and they change around all the damn time. Particularly in the S1000D XML world.
Is this specific to tech jobs? Because it seems to me that Indians can routinely become convenience store and hotel owners in the US?
How so? I'm suggesting that when you build infrastructure that profoundly effects society, it cannot be said to be apolitical or value neutral.

In what way is this comparable to buying grapes?
I agree that it would be good to have more than one source for this story, and some independent confirmation. It's true that often these things turn out quite differently than was initially reported, and of course the correction never gets the same coverage.

On the other hand, many true stories also first circulate online in this format.
I received a message from a recruiter there last week. I mentioned that I wasn't interested because of the crypto market right now. Her response was basically to say "just found out the position is no longer being filled", which I'm assuming is because of the impending layoffs. Then this week I see they laid off 30% of their staff. It's crazy to think that they hadn't stopped hiring long before they decided to cut 1,000+ jobs.
They are very important skills to learn, and they're ones we as a society haven't really learned because we're still dealing with this problem.
And there you have it, the leftist view in its full insanity - it's not OK to "hate" other races but it's OK to kill non-marginalized whites.
I would think it is related to the fact that Stable Diffusion can run on consumer level hardware, whereas the largest language models don't, as they need hundreds of Gigs of GPU memory.

>However, I do certainly hope most CS folks could implement an OS or Web browser from scratch.

I am way, way less optimistic than you then.

I doubt even 10% of CS grads, let alone people who have been out of school for a few years, could tell you what a page table is.
Sure. Honestly, forget this company entirely.

There is no good reason that any third party should see more than a tiny tiny bit of operating money for the act of local drivers delivering local food from local restaurants to local customers.

They made a bit of money in the beginning, great. Time to move on to a fairer solution, given that it's trivially easy to replicate.
Yea, if someone wants to, they can and should be able to freely swap which society they participate in.

We are successful as a species because we socialize, and there is no reason to limit that only to people who were born in specific geographic areas; that doesn’t make any sense.

It would make a lot more sense to group by shared goals and beliefs, with free movement as your goals and beliefs change.

Blind nationalistic loyalty is in no way a requirement for a successful human society.
You can use a TDSmeter to see how many particulates are in the water. Brita (as do many charcoal based filter) adds some particulates though. If your water naturally has a lot of stuff in it though, Brita will reduce it overall
It is designed to track unique visitors, but not differentiate between them at all.

both you and i visit the same new site today, we both get a file our browser caches with today's date at 00:00:01. Tomorrow when we go to the same site, our browser says we got the file yesterday, so the server sends a new modified date to the browser, set to tomorrow's date at 00:00:02. Both of us have the same "new" file with the new modification date/time.

if i go back the following day, the only thing the server knows for certain, from just this header, is that i've visited twice before. So i'm not counted as a unique visitor.

That this could be used by assigning a unique timestamp to each visitor is where everyone's mind is going, and it feels like half are annoyed there's another way to leak information, and the other half are annoyed they didn't think of it prior to the end-of-year marketing bonus deadline.
No, definitely not in the US.

I was last laid off in 2015 by a large media company, we received only 1 month of severance. (Which was 1.5 months paychecks because they paid in arrears)

Severance and notice of small scale layoffs (company under 50) has no protection in most states. 8 person company offered no severance, but we had a pretty good sense it was coming a month away.
Seeing Java/C# excluded makes me think the person is very inexperienced. Why ask then?
Honestly, thanks for the clarification.
The character of this hysteria reminds me a lot of how the mainstream media obsessed over Trump in the 2015-2020 era.
This is really sad to hear. Probabilistic programming languages are IMO one of the coolest things ever: if you have an idea about how your data could be plausibly generated given some massive amount of hidden state and inputs, and an arbitrarily complex rendering function, you just write the rendering function and it determines probability distributions over the state variables that most likely map your inputs to your output.

For instance, say you want to be able to vectorize logos, e.g. find the SVG representation of a raster image. If you wanted to link a text model of the characters that make up SVG files to their raster representation via a modern deep learning system, you'd need a heck of a lot of data and training time. But if you could instead just write a (subset of a) SVG parser and renderer as simply as you'd write it in any other programming language, but where the compiler instead creates a chain of conditional probability distributions that can be traversed with gradient descent, you can reach a highly reliable predictive model with significantly less training time and data.

This is where the massive cost savings come in. You get a forward-deployed engineer who knows this stuff and can dig into the compiler for features not yet implemented, they can work magic on any domain problem. I would have loved to have seen the spinoff they mentioned. Sigh.

Yes, you're absolutely right. Jonathan Haidt touched on this quite a bit in "The Coddling of the American Mind". Unfortunately I see no possible way to reverse the situation. People simply aren't used to hardship anymore, you can easily live a life of pure comfort. The advances in digital technology only intensify this phenomenon. Short of major economic collapse, I'd expect humanity to become increasingly soft and squishy, to the point of essentially becoming another form of cattle.
This would mostly make sense for hardware options, but less so in this specific case of a software feature that previously was available.
I found graviton to be a mixed bag. It was certainly extremely fast when using the very high end instances and I tested it successfully using a Rust based message queue system I was writing and it got some ridiculously fast number like 8 million messages a second, from memory, using the fastest possible graviton instance (this was about 18 months ago).

I did try to switch some of my database servers to it a couple of years ago and after random hangs, I gave up and went back to intel. I tried again further down the track and same thing - random hangs. I assume this sort of thing comes with a new architecture but I'd be hesitant to move any production infrastructure to it without extensive long term testing.

In the case of graviton based GPU instances I found that the GPU enabled software I wanted to use didn't work.

If you are comparing performance, I'd suggest buying a fast AMD machine and run it locally and compare performance - local servers tend to be much faster and cheaper than cloud. And if your application uses GPUs then if you possibly can then its very much in your interests to run local servers.

>Don't your statements also have contradictions?

I don't know, do they? I can't really address a comment like this without you being more specific.

>Is it right that your free speech supersedes the free speech of others to the point where you actively fight against their free speech and which means the speech of others isn't really free then, is it?

Sure, this is a fine principled stance to take. However, if this is a principled stand rather than one based off situational politics, doesn't that apply to other forms of speech which are used to stifle speech of others?

Hate speech is one example. The people who advocate against cancel culture generally aren't in favor of more restrictions on hate speech.

Money in politics is another. If political advertising is protected speech, doesn't a billionaire having the ability to outbid me for all ad inventory in the lead up to an election stifle my ability to freely voice my beliefs? Either the billionaire's ads aren't free speech or they are free speech and are being used to drown out the free speech of others.

There was passing mention of atmospheric CO2's planet-warming effects in some old 1800s book I read on archive.org that was about nutrition and diet, and how evolution explains all one needs to know about which foods to eat.

The CO2 blurb was made matter-of-factly as if it were entirely well understood, and it wasn't even a major component of what was being discussed. It was just a section explaining planetary temperatures and how/why they varied over time, and how that affected the course of evolution of life on earth. The wording was something like "CO2 acts as an invisible blanket on the planet, trapping in the heat gained from the sun" if memory serves...

I think he'll make it.

Not only does it look like Twitter will survive (if the mass-migration to another platform hasn't happened yet, when will it? If the site runs stable after the initial shock, why would it run less stable later?), it just might make Musk more powerful than we could ever imagine. Contrasting with other social media founders/owners he isn't shy to use the platform as a very personal thing, to actively shape the discussion and to pick and fight fights. The potential power he could potentially wield makes the purchase, as well as possibly running Twitter as a loss, worth it.
It was 1972 and I was unemployed, no degree and on benefits. Someone at the Labour Exchange got on my case and sent me for a number of interviews. One was as a programmer, it sounded cool. I got the job and was sent on a 2 week COBOL course.

It's not like that now.

This syntactic sugar is definitely a bit weird, but it seems necessary in the "everything is an object" design, and to simultaneously meet Ruby's prime directive of maximizing developer happiness.

Not sure about the line of delineation between "VS Code" and "VS Code Server", but "VS Code" itself is MIT licensed. See:

Regulation regarding the truthfulness/accuracy of indicators probably wouldn't hurt.

But, the better solution is effective Right To Repair laws that coerce a minimum level of standards and open design.

For example, if Brita were required to publish the parameters of that part, you would be able to more easily make an informed decision regarding replacing that part (either by repairing it, cleaning it, refurbishing it, or replacing it with one from another maker) without the tedious guesswork and reverse engineering.
