I think you'd be better off building something like that above the ocean with the whole thing supported by piers anchored very deep. Otherwise sooner or later your structure will meet that one wave that it can't deal with and then it's game over. But even something supported by piers would be an amazing feat of engineering by our current standards, even a typical drilling platform that is embedded in the continental shelf is - up close - something to behold. What you are talking about is many, many orders of magnitude more complex, both from a materials science perspective as well as the engineering itself. The sea is a formidable enemy for anything that you intended to float on top of it, in the longer term if you don't sidestep the problem you'll end up with your structure as a submersible. One of the problems is that moving water is incredibly destructive, I've seen 8 cubic meter concrete blocks thrown about like confetti during a bad storm at the coast, and that's nothing compared to what you have to deal with on the open ocean.

Have a look at that first image:

https://www.alipobiolog.nl/wplog/natuur/na-de-storm-2/

That's what left after the impact of a 2x2x2 meter concrete block. These are used to reinforce the piers near IJmuiden, where I used to live and the force of the impact of the water will dislodge those blocks from the asphalt in which they are embedded and throw them over or onto the pier itself. That's approximately 15 tonnes and I have no idea how much force it would require to break them free from their surroundings.

Then there is the problem of anchoring your structure. All of the air on the Western side of a floating structure would impinge on the height that the whole thing extends above the sea, turning it into a gigantic sail. Before long your structure would start to move and the mass may work against moving in the beginning, but once it picks up speed the whole thing turns into a giant moving obstacle, eventually crashing into the shore somewhere.

If you don't want that you'll have to expend a fair bit of power or anchor it to the seabed somehow, and to withstand such force will require a lot of engineering. This will need to be maintained as well to offset it coming loose in places.

On the whole I think the easiest way would be to take an ocean liner and stick it somewhere at an anchor but even that isn't going to be very pleasant without forward motion to counteract a storm (you want to be heading into a storm under power, not float around in it).
> Sometimes you just need a burger-like product to take to the company BBQ so that Todd from accounting will shut the fuck up for once about how vegetarian food is all "rabbit food".

I've always preferred "thats not food, that's what food eats." I don't see how fake meat is going to solve a gap in senses of humor though.

> Sometimes you want to make one of the many dishes you grew up with, but you want to live consistently with your ethics, so you want a simple replacement.

I would be quite interested in hearing a consistent and rigorous herbivore ethical system. All of the herbivores I've personally encountered mistake their emotional revulsion for an ethos. But, in all charity, I can at least imagine the existence of a consistent ethos one might hold with respect abstention. In fact, there's one that's part of my faith tradition, but it's considered an exceptional penance and not a moral obligation. Somehow I don't think that's your motivation though. If it is a penitential act though, then you have my sincere admiration. That said, eating highly processed food science experiments that we have no actual data on the long term effects of consumption of is inconsistent with my ethics. Naturally, that is orthogonal to eating a complete diet that's as consistent as possible given practical constraints with what H. Sapiens evolved to eat. Incidentally that's the basis of my ethos with regard to food: I want to eat what my body is best able to use.

> Sometimes you want something that freezes easily so that when you've had a long and stressful day you have something quick and easy to reach for.

I don't understand this, I've never had trouble freezing the vegetarian dishes that I've made.

> Most meat-eaters don't make hamburgers a "major part of their diet" -- and most vegetarians/vegans don't make veggie burgers a "major part" of theirs either. But as an occasional thing, it's very useful to have these meat substitutes, for a variety of reasons. You don't have to eat them for every meal in order to find them useful.

I certainly agree that even eating supermarket meats it's hard to eat a complete diet. Organ meat is basically impossible to find in your average supermarket, but it's of vital importance for getting nutritionally available dietary micronutrients. I'm sure that you know, as an educated herbivore, that it's considerably more difficult to get bioavailable micronutrients from plants due to our digestive system not being evolved to process phytates. Fortunately thanks to human ingenuity there are some workarounds, like fermentation and other forms of processing that neutralize the natural defensive poisons that plants produce. Because, believe it or not, just like animals plants also prefer not to be eaten!
Pigs are widely considered pretty intelligent, but I don't think the median American thinks of then as more wrong to eat than say chicken.
Please explain more to me sir
Hey, a highly reputable trader Sam Bankman Fried claims to habe done exactly that. His reputation is second to none.
Likewise, I had a Sanyo MBC550 computer, which came with its own MS-DOS, but would not run some (most) IBM PC software.

Software that bypassed the "official" API, typically for the sake of speed gains, easily became tied down to the IBM PC memory map. Thankfully, there were separate versions of some apps that ran on generic MS-DOS, including the original Turbo Pascal, and Word Perfect, so the computer got me all the way through college.

Why did I choose the Sanyo, you ask? I was able to get a complete computing system, with display, printer, and "bundled" software, for under US $1000.
I highly recommend using Tower. Yes, it’s a paid app with a yearly subscription fee, but it’s worth it. I really enjoy using the rebase functionality to reword, split, and reorder commits.

I also know how to do this on the command line, but sometimes I enjoy using a gui on macOS.
One bit I would add: don't use xspace package. If you defined a macro with 0 argumemts like

\newcommand\kek[0]{kak}

You must always put {} after it's invocation like "\kek{}". If you do "\kek", that may eat the following space in some cases. Doing "\kek\ " or "\kek\xspace" is bad and harmful.
That population movement occurred during the early modern period through the Industrial Revolution, after the medieval period.
Would love a git/PR workflow that was aware that I work on the next feature (or two) while the previous PR is being deliberated. I need a pipeline system where I decouple “do code” and “negotiate merge upstream”. Managing this manually is a pain, especially over multiple connected repos.
I don't believe you have read your "holly" books. There are plenty of alien beings described in detail in that book.

I also reject your out-of-hand assertion that whatever one thinks about the world's existence has the same meaning to someone as your mythical being has to you.

How blown would your mind be if I posited to you that what you call "GOD" is the universe? Your holly book says he is everywhere and everything all at once, does it not? That "He is within all of us", and yet we are the universe observing itself. He came about out of nowhere with no trace of origin? We don't know what caused the big bang, it just happened.

If aliens exist, it's because the universe "allowed" it to happen (aka the statistical probability is high enough for it to occur or we would not be alive having this conversation) not some conscious divine being.
I don’t know what else to say, man. Maybe try it for yourself so you can see how it works?

Mocks lead to solitary, interaction-based tests.

My approach leads to sociable, state-based tests.

These are polar opposite testing approaches, with different tradeoffs. I don’t care which approach you use, but saying they’re the same thing means you don’t understand it.

Other people haven’t had the same problem understanding the fundamentals that you are. You’re asking very basic questions, which makes me think you haven’t taken the time to read the article carefully. I’m happy to help, but your dismissive attitude makes me think you’re less interested in understanding the material and more interested in proving that you don’t need to understand it. Your shallow comments about Capitalization and wallets didn’t exactly endear you to me, either.

I’ve provided a lot of material online. An article with tons of details and examples. Links to additional full-fledged examples. Multiple video series. Now it’s on you to take advantage of these resources. Or not; no skin off my nose either way.
On my list of new years resolutions is to finally embrace dotfiles management. This looks like just the ticket. Thanks!

Git is great once you get how it works.

It’s also a UX nightmare. I work with tons of artists and engineers from the games and film industry.

Teaching git to an artist is painful. UIs work, till they invariably fall apart and then they’re confused again in the command line. Also most UIs can’t abstract the ideas to a good easy system.

Even a ton of very experienced engineers fall over when you touch rebasing etc…

Now people will say use Perforce. Well that has its own issues around branching/streaming and integration for code etc… plus you’re tied to their systems, and I’m not convinced their UX is great either, just better.

Plastic SCM seems to be the best so far but I haven’t really put it through the paces much.

Anyway I guess my point is: git is a fantastic technology marred with bad UX. It’s much like GIMP or Blender back in the day that had terrible UX as well, but have since improved greatly.

I’d love to see a rethink of the git UX at the UI level, that can guide even the most novice programmer through everything easily.

Edit: also I know invariably someone will say to make my own Ui instead of complaining. I’ve tried. I’ve done some novel things but it’s really hard to do from a top down level without also rethinking some of the base interaction model. That’s a battle I think needs a lot of effort across the stack first.
Get some public P&L sheets and learn how to read them. Once you can argue about the financial effects of your own and your competitors' decisions, the other C levels will take your advice much more seriously.

Also, understanding where money comes from, where it goes to, and how budgets were allocated allows you to learn A LOT about how different industries work.

Also, which country?
In this particular case though I don't think it would matter much. I've looked pretty closely at how the BEAM does it's thing and it's a work of art, this particular trade-off is more one of convenience than of necessity. But you are right that Erlang is full of such clever (and beautiful) tricks which make it a very interesting codebase to study.
I need to get a machine dedicated to DOS gaming. Maybe I can use the Rpi 3 A+ I just bought?
Not if you allow user arrays in the kernel. dTrace doesn't, even when they didn't know about Spectre beforehand.
Most of the "bad things" were independent of social class. This was just the way people lived back than.

> watching too many of your children die before their 4th birthday

> There was no light in the evenings because tallow or other wax was far too expensive so when it got dark there were limited things to do.

(Not even rich people could afford much light!)

> Floors […] were host to bugs.

> True medicine was not there

But just think about the work days and hours. Most people (even the poor ones) were not working the most time of the year. Only in summer it was possible to work the whole day. That's why industrialization needed to "teach" the "lazy people" to "actually work".
That's $44K in CPUs alone, and these clock slower than desktop cores so it's not exactly equivalent. There are many tasks for which GPUs are not relevant. I have an expensive compute limited task and for my purposes a mini cluster of desktop CPUs still seems to be the way to go.
I strongly agree that more of my diet than I'd like is a food science experiment. That doesn't mean I want to add more food science experiments. Otherwise, I do what I can to get both meats and fruits and vegetables, including processed meats like sausages, from sources that are personally known to me and that use traditional natural methods and ingredients. I'd say over half of the meat I eat is from animals that I personally saw when they were alive and I know they were both raised and slaughtered humanely. I'd like to get that number considerably closer to 100%. It's a lot harder to do with vegetables since I've not yet gotten good at preservation besides freezing, and there's only so much space, so in the off season I'm mostly stuck with supermarket produce.

The same thing happened in 2013, but back then it was just a matter of discontent with the government.

Now the protesters apparently endorse an actual coup d’état against the legitimately-elected Lula da Silva administration.

It is another sad day for Brazilian democracy. Yet, like in the U.S., I seriously doubt these violent acts will achieve their aims.
Can you specify which of the features in the table from the article it provides? If so, I can update the article. The last time I used Tower, I was not impressed, for the same reasons as the other Git UI tools in the table which try to offer simar features.

Don't open settings then? They advertise for TV, drive, and arcade there all the time.
A CFA is completely absurd for a CTO to pursue, even if that CTO were working for an investment management company. The OP wants to study to learn, not study to pass an exam. You can do one or the either for the CFA, but not both. Also, one doesn't learn "business" with the CFA but finance and accounting.

To be clear, the sentiment that is alt-right is

> You are free to insult white people, Christianity, and non transexual heterosexual men in this country but everyone else is a protected class.

White, cis, hetero, Christian, men as a class are some of the most protected and powerful people in this country. POTUS, Supreme Court Chief Justice, Speaker of the House Representatives, Senate Majority Leader, Attorney General, Director of FBI... all white, all men, all straight, all cis, all but one Christian. All state governors are currently white.

This is not to say that a white, cis, hetero, Christian man cannot face hardship or discrimination. But to pretend such people as a class aren't systematically protected in our society, when this class sits on top of most power structures in society, serves to dilute the entire idea of anti-discrimination, which honestly seems to be much of the point in making such claims.

It's related to the demand. That's why unique things might not be scarce especially when there's a lot similar things.

That's why NFTs are not scarce even though they are unique.

Personally I would also wish that billionaires kept their wealth in things unrelated to the real world. Because when they put it in the real world they hike up the price for everybody by creating illusion of demand that really isn't there because they won't use what they bought.
IntelliJ's git UI has those features.
Gold is also speculative and it's much larger than BTC. I hate crypto but $100K BTC is completely possible.
Even if counterparty/protocol risk don't eat you, "the market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent" applies here and the interest can eat you.
This is one of the things I used to like about Maya. It appeared to be a command driven editor and everything you did in the UI translated to a command line command. You could set it to show the commands and even capture them and use them as a start for generating a script

I don't know if it's still that way after the transition from Mel to Python. I haven't used Maya in 15 years

Even more, Maya also was like a 3D editor OS/Engine. The UI itself was written in the scripting language (~1500 melscript files) using the primitives from the "engine".
Why launch an orbital rocket from 35,000 feet? What will that do to assist the rocket to achieve orbit?

Orbital ability depends on speed, not on height above the ground.

They'd be much better off launching a larger rocket (more fuel = more energy) from the ground rather than a smaller rocket (its size limited by the lifting ability of the plane) from 7 miles up.
Git is what a version control system would feel like if it were designed by kernel engineers who only knew C and Perl.
Can't help but feel this article was written in bad-faith. It feels desperate to counter the narrative of rising crime being an issue. Truth is crime has risen in the last couple of years and it has resulted in the severe deterioration of the quality of life in affected populations. The facts are clear and are not on the crime-downplaying side.

I wish crime would be a bipartisan issue since it leads to severe consequence for everyone alike. Alas, the partisan calculus being played demands inconvenient narratives be shut down, without any exploration of the causes.
I agree something like that would be really cool. If you have any ideas for the API, feel free to make an issue on the php or trealla-js repos to discuss.
In my experience, that’s not entirely true. Some of my mathematician friends claim that they (and other people they know) often rather read the source code than the type-set result. I’m inclined to believe it because the biggest problem with LaTeX (to me) is jumping between the source and the result while editing, especially when formulas are involved. (Syncing tools help, but they’re far from perfect.) So it is often more convenient to just work with the source but this leads to problems where mis-typeset formulas don’t get recognized because too little time is spend with the result and they look fine in the source. And then people start reading the source code of other people’s papers because it’s more understandable, making the whole thing absurd.
Miniature painting. 3D printing is totally revolutionising everything, it's a really cool time to be into the hobby.

Simple, expressive pipeline syntax to transform and manipulate data with ease
> Instead of hiding the abstractions behind a “friendlier” CLI, Git shows you its real power and that of VCSs in general, by having a lower-level API.

But that’s simply not true. Git is just inconsistent in how it does things.

Sometimes it wants you to deal with its inner state (typically the undo where you just need to move HEAD to a previous commit which might be only visible in the reflog). Sometimes it introduces complex concepts which would be simpler if they were just exposed for what they are (stashes are just temporary commits).

Honestly Git is a mess. It works but the UX has always been awful.
Agreed. Are the people defending it forgetting how often beginners end up in seemingly arcane states and need to just check out the branch again to return to sanity?
True, however none of them became actual competition for bitcoin. Not even ETH which is strong number 2.
Take a look at https://github.com/LineageOS/lineage_wiki/blob/master/_data/... - it's the length of the 'maintainers' list.
Thanks for doing the research, there's so many git GUIs it saved me a lot of time. Limitations of these GUIs leave you in a limbo switching between them and the CLI.

The "git sucks" heading might turn off readers; there are so many "git sucks" articles with less nuance and research than this one. (Notice most of the comments already are just related to that, or git in general.)
That's always been Google's "problem".

It seems like they bend over backwards to be open and precise about their data collection and the risks you incur by accepting it. And gives you tools to view and manage the data (at least some of it).

Meanwhile everyone else is doing similar or worse, while just staying silent -- in Apple's case hypocritically seeming to position itself as a leader of the "privacy" movement, when it really appears to primarily be about Apple's privacy first, then yours (maybe).

But how IS your privacy really better under Apple's control versus Google's? One could argue it's worse under Apple because you're left in a state of not knowing what they're collecting, only reading about violations in court judgments and such. Although it would be prudent in that case to just assume the worst, instead it seems we often prefer not knowing, and living in blissful ignorance.
The law is pretty clear. For example it’s not acceptable, as the article describes, to have 2 buttons saying “accept” and “options”. It just isn’t.

So many (most?) sites are in a state of noncompliance simply because they believe their business model requires it.

But I find it hard to believe regulators create laws without the intent of enforcing them. The fines for noncompliance can be very stiff.

Personally I’m hoping there will be a few high publicity examples made soon.
I used to have such period in my life, and later turned to a previous one (described by OP).

One of things I practiced is a humanities-day when I would go to a museum, and be disconnected for the most part of the day.
It does, once you have the character sheet, you put these together in blender and use them as reference for the 3d model, so everything comes out in proportion and its just grind really to place the vertices.

The rigging + animation is done by mixamo's AI so just touch up after.

He had to do a UV unwrap and then align the textures to this, this is time consuming just because it requires thinking about where to split the 3d model, to place the seams, then to fit it all in a texture, where you have to think about how much space to give each texture (more space = more quality). And then map the texture into this space too. This is a known pain in the 3d modelling for decades and no doubt AI will solve this in the next decade.
