> who call themselves

In which sense? Because 'queer' means "eccentric" - many would describe as that. For that matter, people call themselves "gay" for "joyous".

Incidentally: the queer use of 'queer' predates that of 'gay' (just a piece of trivia).
I recommend going through a course on the database scheme design.
This comment, in addition to needlessly escalating, is equivalent to "I am bothered by people being bothered by the things they believe".

No, Android is fully supported, we’ve even built a demo for Android TV :D p2p is made possible by exposing UDP and Bluetooth as JS APIs (also supported on iOS and Android) but it’s entirely optional. Ionic uses electron for desktop, so you end up with two major frameworks mashed together. Socket was designed from the ground up for desktop and mobile.
SF Mayor London Breed was talking about this recently as well. It seems that the local restaurants also want people back in the offices because they're struggling quite a bit. If there's no free lunch at work, employees might patronize some of the local restaurants.
Yes, EOL recovery could be quicker than if it were paved (assuming that paving strips the topsoil completely and not just paves over it) but much slower than if it remained growing all the time.

The problem is that soil is not just inert, and completely covering it like that kills the entire microbiome — the fungi, bacteria, and myriad of multicellular micro-critters that make the soil good for plant growth will be long gone when they take up the panels.
It actually makes sense once you realize what’s going on. Let’s just say these things are not by accident.

I'm not sure I quite get it. Or at least the article doesn't make much sense of it.

Is the idea that this is a helpful system because of it's rhyming? I've been trying to imagine how that would help counting sheep, but just can't come up with it.
A good elaboration of this point is Greg Dow's "Governing the Firm" and "The Labor-Managed Firm".

In short, worker-owned businesses are rare because individual workers are poor (relative to the capital that's needed) and they can't get external funding because the investors want control in return, which labor management can't provide.

That's why most large-scale worker-owned businesses are part of a federation supported by a bank - e.g. Mondragon's Caja Laboral. Institutional design indeed does matter.
I don't think this guy understands what research is and what it's good for. He even says that the AT&T Research Group "were not used to create commercial software and AT&T has never been in the software business" as if that's a bad thing.
I think it's quite simple: If you are starting a job, the company pays you. Never ever should you spend a significant amount of money before receiving the first pay check.
I posted it after seeing it on Twitter, it was presented at an event earlier in the week: https://mobile.twitter.com/claucece/status/15999293370079191...
By that logic WebP should have never got out of the door, because all non-Chromium browsers were explicitly reticent in implementing support for it and only finally started doing so with several years delay (in the case of Apple several years even more). But of course WebP was Google's own image format…
In that case WebP, CSS grid, CSS shadow DOM, HTML5, or any other new feature on the web would be untennable (esp. if deployed behind a feature flag first) because when those were created and implemented in browsers there was no uses/consumption of them.
I just reread the Wikipedia article on CRDTs and was actually wrong. I only had a subset of CRDTs in mind but they actually encompass a much wider class than I thought. In some way I now understand the fuzz about them even less, they now look almost trivial, but maybe I am still not understanding some important aspect properly. Should maybe read the paper introducing them. But at the very least I should not complain about people calling things CRDTs that actually fall under the actual definition.

I've been told that the comment text in my example is confusing to non-English speakers. I'll edit it and keep that in mind in the future.
Totally not blaming the victim, just surprised that knowledge about these scams and how they work isn't as widespread as I'd have expected. We are grateful OP posted here and spread that knowledge a little further. It's a shame that these things don't just get taught to schoolchildren--too many people learn these things for the first time as a result of being victimized.

Suggesting people arm themselves with knowledge and use that knowledge for prevention is not really the same thing as assigning blame.

I am not saying its a hard skill or anything. But asking your manager everytime to go find someone to put your notebooks in productions is not good strategy to succeed at work. If you can get your notebook pretty far into production and have software engineering skills it goes a long way.

"GitHub CEO Thomas Dohmke recently told us that Copilot is now handling up to 40% of coding among programmers using the AI in the beta testing period over the past year. Put another way, for every 100 lines of code, 40 are being written by the AI, with total project time cut by up to 55%."

Sorry not 50% but once programmers discover a tool that can write code, it's uptake is quite strong.
Amazing how well school sometimes prepares you for life.
Sure, on a scale of comparative bad things, e.g., vs strip mining...

But if you don't have to kill the entire soil microbiome, why do it? Just questioning whether this is as good as vertical panels + farming.

I agree, if it really is nearly devoid of vegetation, it seems better to use the least possible amount land and also not use the metals for the racking.

The studies show the opposite. The caloric sweeteners make you hungry and slow down your metabolism.

Even if you are calorie counting (like the mice) the weight gain from lower metabolism is greater than the weight gain from having an equivalently sweet drink made from sugar.

High fructose corn syrup has a similar effect, but also delivers calories. If you want to drink soda, or eat sweetened things while losing weight, your best bet is to eat real sugar.
That's true in the US as well. Lots of small businesses just use gmail.
Sorry, but Your case with hospital, is very similar to typical corporative chaos, when because of CAP theorem (corporations are distributed systems by definition), information delays unavoidable, and one department already know information, and others have no clue.

Sure, CAP theorem, is not reason to pardon chaos.
It is _unit_ labor costs that are decreasing. In this case, because the price companies are getting for their goods is increasing faster than wages are growing.
Very easy to do.

I'm not sure that's how it works. For your HDD to reach that speed in sequential write, the free space should be contiguous. Also, a modern HDD will write faster than that in that best case scenario.

If swap needs to write 10 MB, in whatever chunk size, it will send them one after the other, just like the file system. Regular file systems don't have 100 MB sector sizes, either.

> For SSD, there is also a difference in speed on order of 50x.

I highly doubt that. Source: running fio on my SSD. SSDs actually can take advantage of parallelization, writing to multiple places at the same time, which a spinning drive obviously can't do.
It’s maybe a little unusual that they’re doing it effectively in service of a for-profit company, but otherwise it doesn’t seem strange.

This show, as a Brit who had been to Germany as an exchange student, reaffirmed what I already knew:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/tv/entries/648b5763-1d44-35b6-a0...

The Germans, once they get going, have maintained the protestant work ethic that much of the UK workforce lost in the 1970's.

They're not perfect and still mess up things like the Berlin Airport when corruption kicks in but the average Mittelstand worker gets the job done at a top-tier level and as quick as possible, especially when something is important.
Hm, I am a bit worried about using PostgreSQL with CRDT (Limitations section from the blog). I guess that PostgreSQL doesn't like frequently updates, because of MVCC. Maybe it is OK to use PG as a cold storage, if you have another application, which would work with hot data (like, when users change something), and eventually store it inside PG.
> If everyone would do this then eventually the company would be forced to remove the initial chat bubble since their support is wasting 90% of their time looking at bullshit "No thank you!" answers.

Applied AI/ML is still a great career field, especially if you have a knowledge of physics.

The reply by the Chromium engineer (from Google? - I'm not sure) to a long thread of people from several companies quantifying the benefits of JPEG XL and requesting that it be supported is just sad:

> Thank you everyone for your comments and feedback regarding JPEG XL. We will be removing the JPEG XL code and flag from Chromium for the following reasons:

> - Experimental flags and code should not remain indefinitely

> - There is not enough interest from the entire ecosystem to continue experimenting with JPEG XL
> - The new image format does not bring sufficient increm
ental benefits over > existing formats to warrant enabling it by default

> - By removing the flag and the code in M110, it reduces the maintenance burden and allows us to focus on improving existing formats in Chrome

If I were to put on my tinfoil hat, I would imagine the people involved here are desperate to put 'Removed unused code and removed maintenance burden by X%' in there performance reviews for this year
But none of that matters as long as the system is pre-emptively swapping out old stuff, as it does. And if it decides to swap out 50 MB all at once, it doesn't matter if it's organized in separate 4 KB pages in memory, because it still writes them all out to disk sequentially in one go. Plus, it's doing it in the background anyways so who cares?

The only performance issues that are actually relevant here are if you get into thrashing because you've run out of memory totally (no longer pre-emptive), but that doesn't happen in normal usage. Or when you're swapping memory back in for an app/page that's scattered among many 4 KB pages on disk... but the point is that should still be faster than reloading the page over the internet! (And on SSD's it's blazingly fast since fragmentation on disk barely even matters.)
I found it to be a fun feature: As a student riding the electric trolley busses in Vancouver in the 90's, I would put my walkman on AM radio and tune it as low as it could go and listen to the EM noises of the bus: The traction and air compressor motors as well as the turn signals...and those of the busses that passed by.

Thank you for the stroll down amnesia lane.
This was my thought when we first wrote this back in... 2018 or whatever. The papers referenced sort of derive this technique in that way that feels rather roundabout. For the actual implementation we took the more direct approach... though I think we did switch from a twos complement to a sign/magnitude representation at one point which allows us to dynamically vary the bit depth used which can save some space and computation time.

As far as the performance goes, in this system, we represent almost everything with compressed bitmaps, so there's some advantage to using them for integers and range queries as well as the output of a range query is very naturally a bitmap which can easily be combined with more typical categorical bitmaps when evaluating more complex queries.
That's precisely what it is.
First, I didn't lose any data but only time when that SSD failed, so going to the extent of desoldering the memory chips isn't necessary. Fortunately, that SSD was only a backup/consolidation from other drives so I still had all that data.

The only reason for suggesting that course of action was out of curiosity, as I recall from old data would sometimes come to 'life' after we erased 2716s, 2732s etc. and then exposed them to excessive heat (it was never intended as a means of unerasing them after we'd exposed them to UV light.

The real issue remains and that's that manufacturers aren't prepared to tell us anything about them and I reckon that's a significant problem.
Just to give it some context, there are 14 VPs to the European parliament. Only the president and the 1st VP play a significant role. She was neither.
Just stick with adthrive or mediavine and you'll be fine. Many others are scammier (though in fairness they'll all probably outperform adsense).

You can search Reddit and you'll see the same advice over and over again: Mediavine/adthrive are the best.

I can't give you first hand advice on mediavine but one of my sites is on adthrive and I can confirm it's very good! Outperforming adsense by around 50% (though this will vary based on your specific niche/topic).

But my advice is also to learn about the ad ecosystem yourself. Once you reach a certain level of revenue you just have to learn about it, it's going to delivery a very high ROI as compared with other things you can do.
A little surprised to see that the recommendation for wood to wood isn't the ubiquitous Titebond line of wood glues. I've never seen a bottle of Elmer's carpenter's glue in any shop I've ever set foot in.

There are other adhesives used to glue wood together depending on the application (epoxy is big in the boat world AIUI), but for everyday wood gluing, Titebond is pretty much king in the US.

And yet the dollar is stronger than its ever been.

And the inflation is global. In fact? The U.S. is faring better than most other countries.

And inflation is even worse if you were using a deflationary currency like Bitcoin.

The fact that someone can go through the last few years and see inflation clearly driven by war, inflation clearly driven by supply chain problems due to COVID, inflation clearly driven by Brexit when looking at the UK, and comment “inflation is always and everywhere a result of printing” is just ideological blinkerism at its finest.

Nested comprehensions are a more powerful construct, you can do more with it than chain or the itertools module. Chain is cleaner for this case since it is weaker, so it is clearer what it does, but since list comprehension is more powerful you ought to learn it first and chain is just a nicety.

Depends on how you solve the constraints. The papers use an iterative method that might not converge to meet all constraints all the time but you can use others instead. In general though the constraint satisfaction is good enough with the iterative approach.

That doesn’t seem like a great reason to use JPEG XL. Existing JPEGs are meeting the needs of their users. Sure, maybe those images could be ever more compressed, but it’s clearly not a deal breaker otherwise those images wouldn’t have been JPEG encoded in the first place. Second, the amount of existing JPEGs [that people care about] will decrease over time, both in quantity and as a portion of the total image population. So lossless re-encoding is a solution in search of a problem.
Apple dragged their feet on introducing webms to Safari and they still often require fiddling with to get working on iOS. If Apple isn’t jumping at supporting a format, it’s generally safe to assume they’ll do all they can to not support it unless the pressure is overwhelming.

One of the tricks the microwave system used was zig-zag routes, to prevent signals from hitting towers past the intended target.
I recently read this article while searching for how these towers are used in 2022. It's truly a work of engineering genius for the era. There are still many of these towers around the place where I live if you drive up and down the interstates. It's why I started searching for them to begin with.
I don't know about these specifically, but similar systems the military used are interesting in that they have components you didn't see much in other systems. Like "traveling wave tubes" and klystron based amplifiers.

The systems I'm familiar with were at temporary "forward air control" posts, where a radar system was installed relatively close to the front lines. The portable microwave transmitters were used to relay the radar data and voice calls back to the generals further back from the front lines.
