The "soup made of fresh cherries" is probably meggyleves (pronounced "medge-levesh"). My family (Jews from the Pale) have a version of it, although I had a very hard time explaining it to a Hungarian friend (it had been corrupted into "meggy-lev-es" over the past 140 years.)

In practice when you need to fly from one city to another at a specific time there is often only one option available. So customers have no ability to pay more for higher reliability even if they want to.
If it's anything like an ERP, then that sounds about right. There's the out of box part that does the most generic things, and then heavy customization to integrate and customize it to fit the particular business.

Carbureted engines are significantly less fuel efficient than modern engines that use fuel injection systems. They're less precise; often times not able to fully burn all the fuel supplied.

Even the deduction stuff is only because Conan Doyle says so.

Like he could determine cultivars of tobacco from looking at and feeling the ash. And other people never pick up on things that even the reader could. But Holmes does. And then you feel smart, because you even beat Holmes to the punch.

My wife has been watching Bones (again) and I've noticed this a lot there too. It was an episode where the victim was a nine-year-old child. They "digitally reconstructed" the child's appearance and couldn't find a match, but then noticed the hair was dyed, the teeth were veneered, etc. And it's obvious, the child was on the pageant circuit. But they didn't put it together until the answer was given to them. Later on, same thing with a murder weapon. They assumed it was a steel-toe boot, but it's pageant contestants, tap shoes are also available. Etc. etc. And yes, tap shoes were used in the murder.

And there's two reasons for this. This is how smart the writers are. They honestly think this takes significant deductive ability. And making the characters figure it out faster would be implausible. Or. They want the viewers/readers to feel smart. And one way to do that is to make them able to figure out the pieces before the characters. Characters who are the smartest because we're told they're the smartest.
Wow. It still has the "Olympic Airlines" signage: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olympic_Airlines

This is history.
I don’t see how a full system reboot should take days. If you don’t care about serving customers (which they don’t right now), then the problem could be simplified to getting every plane and every crew home to where they would spend the night under a normal schedule. With few or no paying customers on each plane, there should be plenty of capacity to move misplaced crew members around. None of this needs to approximate normal routing, and fewer segments than normal are needed, since passengers can be ignored.

That being said, the software sucks. Southwest may have lost track of where their employees are. The ground crews are quitting. I wouldn’t be utterly shocked if management doesn’t even have a good overview of their the planes are.

(Obviously anyone halfway competent could hack up a script to find all the planes based on ADS-B data in a few hours. And it wouldn’t be terribly hard to text a link to all crew asking them to fill out a simple form with their location, nearest airport, and when they can get there. But this requires competence and agility.)

Yeah, I've had some disappointing results like this too. It makes the thought of relying on such a tool quite a bit more awkward tbh. Not that it doesn't have its uses...
As a general statement it is not true. That is, not every police force in the US (or the world) does this. However, it is absolutely true of some police forces.

The often cited example is the 2nd circuit appeals court case Robert Jordan vs

If you're on Mac, have you tried the VirtioFS shared volume implementation yet? It was under experimental features until recently and you need macOS 12.5 to enable them, but it's very noticeably faster for I/O intensive stuff (my webpack builds are still 2x slower than native, but I wouldn't call it utterly unusable anymore)...
What argument are we having here? A secular historical argument about what is the most likely account of the history of early Christianity? Or a theological argument about whether one ought to believe the miraculous claims of Christianity?

> How can you say that the authors of the bible made up 99 miracles but were honest about a few of them?

Personally, I doubt the Gospel authors consciously invented stories intending to deceive people. I suspect a lot of what happened, is people constructed tales which were meant as metaphors rather than literally true, but at some point in the retelling their metaphorical nature was forgotten. In other cases, such as healings – people actually did have the subjective experience of being miraculously healed, whatever objectively may have been going on – something which still happens today, whether at Lourdes or at Pentecostal churches. Similarly, many cases of demonic possession were likely culture-bound syndromes, and exorcists actually can heal culture-bound syndromes. Even someone with a mental illness which is less culture-bound in nature, convince them a miracle worker has cured them, and they may actually experience a respite in symptoms, even if sometimes only a temporary one. Added to that, stories about healings and exorcisms tend to grow in the retelling, so elements of the stories which seem medically impossible may be later embellishments, and the core may involve a medically plausible story of a faith healer who uses the placebo effect, the psychosomatic nature of some illnesses, the ability of mental state to influence the odds and rate of recovery from actual physical illness or injury, the actual non-zero efficacy of faith healing in treating mental illness in populations predisposed to believe in its effectiveness, etc, etc.

It's very hard, and remains a vexing problem -- one that also has to be weighed against creeping RSI. Late 30s me needs i3wm more than younger me did.

This also gets to me to my one big hardware grievance against MBPs, which I think is commonplace: the keyboards. They're just terrible on so many levels, and worse yet for those with emergent RSI.

They're also hard not to rapidly devalue if you're used to more clicky keyboards, even if you have moderated your typing intensity considerably. All the Macbooks I've had develop the dreaded "shiny key caps" within 3 months, and I assure you, I've worked very hard to become a gentle typist.
Yes. WGPU is often being used as a common layer to abstract Vulkan, Apple's Metal, and Microsoft's DX12, which do pretty much the same thing.

Modern 3D graphics programming mostly abstracts to:

- Load standard gLTF shaders into GPU.

- Create mesh objects. Send to GPU.

- Create texture maps. Send to GPU.

- Create light objects. Send to GPU.

- Create 4x4 transform matrices. Send to GPU.

- Create objects referencing meshes, textures, and transforms. Send to GPU.

- Create camera transform matrix. Send to GPU.

- Tell GPU "Go!".

Beyond that, it's mostly special effects, such as atmosphere, lens flare, etc.

Most of the headaches today involve managing the memory in the GPU, for which there are libraries.
Everyone has different and possibly ridiculous expectations;w whether they dislike you or not is not really within your control.

Edit: I'd maybe clarify that trying to get people above you not to dislike you is essentially the nature the politics of careerist ladder climbing. If you get laid off, it's just pretty common for people to see themselves as inherently superior because they weren't let go, and therefore think, right or wrong, that you'll reflect poorly on them, because they're careerist ladder climbers. So maybe it's best to carefully cultivate the people from the very start of meeting them which ones still have souls.
Middleware is a better option, given consoles support, and being the way studios have always dealt with multiple API support.
> You should do some basic research on how many people are falsely convicted. It's a LOT

It's something like 4-6%. For some crimes it may be as low as 1% and for others as high as 10%. There are many reasons why this happens and there's no one thing that's going to drastically lower the rate:

- Although it may seem unbelievable, a significant percentage of these convictions were the result of confessions

- A significant percentage of the wrongfully-convicted pleaded guilty

- Oftentimes the defendant is known to police who are reasonably certain they've committed other heinous crimes (this is the "he's guilty of something" argument)

The blue light is from a arc welding process be it stick rods or gas shielded continuous wire. A flame would not have the on and off as described as well as being hard to detect at any distance. The most common steel welding flame process, oxy acetylene flame has an inner blue hue but the welding pool is probably brighter, so I doubt even at 10 feet a person could notice any particular colour hue, for anything hand held.
It's worth noting that the indictment seems to focus on very specific technical details of how this hack happened, rather than trying to suggest that hacking smart contracts would be broadly illegal.

It seems that exploiting a smart contract in a way that doesn't involve market manipulation might still be fine, or not. Who knows?

There's no reason to avoid information. You can still ignore it.

This doesn't really change anything. The problem is the large number of accusations, not the size of the work being accused of inaccuracies.
Are you into graphics? Vulkan and DX 12 are not what you start with to learn modern graphics programming. One thing, you should realize by modern they mean use modern graphics pipeline programming instead of an immediate mode API. So “Modern OpenGL” is modern graphics programming and actually it is sufficient for many cases but not for AAA real-time graphics but learning DX11 or Modern OpenGL is the right place to start.
re MSc: in Software Engineering actually, not CS. I had zero content I consider CS as part of my Master studies. We learned about architecture, testing, a proper UX development approach, requirements engineering, etc.
I've been contemplating the same thing. Something like the WhisperGen stirling engine hot water heater should be available to everyone. Hell even a water cooled honda generator that runs off natural gas, and pumps the radiator fluid into your home for heating purposes would be nice. It seems weird that we aren't producing electricity when ever you burn natural gas for heating.
Even a SaaS poster-child like Salesforce is like that--between partners and in-house development of various sorts. I think it may be the largest tech conference these days and it's not because everyone buys a standard Salesforce subscription.
In Activity Monitor on macOS 12.6 I see “PodcastContentService” running but not “Podcasts” itself. Are you seeing the latter?

Side note: It appears that PodcastContentService continues to fetch data via nsurlsessiond after the Podcasts app has been quit. These outgoing requests by nsurlsessiond—to hosts such as wnyc.org—were made apparent by Little Snitch permission prompts.

Update: PodcastContentService continues to run >5 minutes after quitting Podcasts, so perhaps it's a service that is always running, and maybe is unrelated to OP's question. I haven't checked whether PodcastContentService was running before I opened the Podcasts app.

Update two: I saw the Podcasts app in Activity Monitor a few minutes later. It disappeared within a few seconds though. It seems to have started on its own.
Middleware runs on more platforms, with more friendly tooling.
I’d like to know this as well. Consider that creating an account elsewhere or running your own is trivial I don’t see how this is a problem.
The issue I take with this is that employment becomes a form of restriction of free speech. Unfortunately, the reality is most of us can't afford to truly speak our minds because we need a job to put food on the table and a roof over our heads. Still, even with that in mind, I think the best compromise is to provide strong support of your opinions and not just shout whatever political slogan happens to be in vogue.
Adversarial Sticker: A Stealthy Attack Method in the Physical World
Generally I agree, we should absolutely design roads to guide drivers into proper behavior, but there are some drivers who are simply way more dangerous than others^, and I'd love to have this feature to know where to be extra alert for other drivers messing up.

I have a fascination with watching dashcam videos on /r/roadcam and /r/idiotsincars (I think it has made me a better/significantly more defensive driver), and seeing some of the videos from places that have fixed cameras that catch every crash just makes it clear that some portion of people simply don't pay attention to anything.

In the 11'8" bridge example (https://11foot8.com/), they've installed a system that detects if the approaching truck is too tall, flashes an "OVER HEIGHT" neon sign, and automatically turns the traffic light red. They even raised the bridge 8 inches a few years ago. People consistently ignore the sign, run the red light, and rip the roof off of their truck on the special bar that was installed to protect the bridge from direct damage.

In the Milwaukee Roundabout example (https://www.youtube.com/@MilwaukeeRoundabout/videos), drivers are coming across the bridge way, way above the speed limit to go sailing as far as they do. Perhaps in this case the road could be narrowed and speed bumps installed, but this is a contingent of drivers who are not paying attention to the road, and the rest of us would benefit from knowing where they screw up.

^As an example, 17-19 year old drivers have a 19-fold higher risk of a fatal single-car crash than 60-69 year olds: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S002243751...

That means at the storage level it's storing a JSON data model not a .Net one. That means the length of a property name matters because its stored with every document rather than having the type info stored in a schema and the individual object instances only storing the values, similar to how a relational db stores columns names in a schema and rows only have data. This can save significant space and overhead.

If I am designing a .Net database from scratch with Linq as its target query language then I would want the storage engine to understand and take advantage of types to optimize storage with minimal translation rather than having to serialize/deserialize from .Net to BSON/JSON with key overhead included.
They're not high paying enough to offset how unpleasant it is for most people to work in these jobs. Double the salary and you'd see kids flock to these jobs.

ORMs. I didn’t “buy” Hibernate but we adopted it and the whole JavaEE thing wholesale. What a disaster. Learned a lot of lessons from that, #1 being, don’t use an abstraction layer (ORM) to abstract away another abstraction layer (SQL).

The performance of Hibernate relative to plain SQL was abominable, and this directly caused us to lose at least one contract. It turns out - on reflection, of course - that it’s not even theoretically possible to get into the same performance ballpark.

After years of doing battle with the tools, I eventually kicked them all out, decided to work hand-in-glove with the database, and suddenly things became both straightforward and performant. I now think that ORMs are a code smell.
When Peter Pan escaped copyright, there was a flood of new Peter Pan books. I wonder if we will see the same thing with Sherlock Holmes.
Modern OpenGL is not deprecated on non-MacOS platforms and even then there are shims for Vulkan.
Pilots are only allowed to fly 100h a month? That seems really low, considering a 40 hour work week over 4 weeks in a month is 160h. Although I guess I would rather have my pilot more energized than overworked.

That's highly organized. I'm pretty sure you'll find these in many EU countries. Bulk data SIM sales are pretty easy (typically for internet-of-things usage). Let's see if it causes a measurable drop in Russian propaganda online (maybe even here?). This is the information war equivalent of a behind the lines sabotage group and the people involved should be dealt with accordingly: as enemy combatants out of uniform.

>- this goes to their head, and they proceed to do the most foolish thing at Perl Harbor, and pick a fight with the 800 pound gorilla

We in the US knew we would be getting involved in the war and had done things like oil embargo/trade disruption. The reason Japan attacked Pearl Harbor was because Yamamoto thought the only chance they stood against the US was to win such a decisive battle that we would not be able to fight them. He was trying this again at Midway(I believe) but we had broken their Coms so we were able to out maneuver them.

Edit Add:
As to if their isolation was helpful or not, I think that it allowed them to preserve and strengthen their culture both the good and bad aspects of it.

I think that if a country was to close themselves off and turn inward, it could result in good things as long as they have an internal forces that prevents stagnation.

Or to put it another way, progress only seems to happen when there are driving forces, such as competing groups. A strong government i.e. Dictator by nature has to wield control in order to stay in power, in doing so any competing groups must be eliminated as they a a threat to power. This brings about stagnation.
There's some good advice in this article, but like any metric system that attempts to define a complex thing using a few dimensions, it will be gamed. The best way to decide which charities to donate to is to volunteer with them or get to know someone who works there.
Vulkan has a lot going for it these days, but IMO the problem with its future is that (a) it's too verbose to use without an abstraction on top and (b) vendors won't stop pushing their native APIs as a competitive advantage (Microsoft still pushing DirectX - often getting features a year or two ahead of Vulkan, Apple is pushing Metal, GNM[X] from Sony, etc.)

I think this means the future of graphics APIs is software abstractions around the truly native APIs (DirectX, Metal, etc.) - things like WebGPU, sokol_gfx, SDL's new GPU abstraction, and Sebastian Aaltonen's stuff.
Still much easier? They is a truly massive understatement.
I would describe programming languages less as encoding problem domain, and more of encoding/enabling solution domains. For example, if you're in Java the language steers towards defining objects that have methods that express your solution, where as in Haskell you'd be more inclined to your solution in terms of a composition of functions. At a lower level, your Java program is more likely to use loops and iteration whereas your Haskell program is more likely to use a recursive solution.

Anyone who's tried hammering a Java-shaped solution into an Haskell-shaped language will eventually see the folly.
Very cool: thank you.

In general, it's my experience that some (maybe even many?) women are far more concerned about these sort of things than men are, just many men are insecure/worried about penis size, but women in general don't actually care all that much (in both cases, some do, but the majority don't).
