That is what made netflix popular in the beginning before their "orginals" phase

You could watch an entire TV Show, Back to back with no interuptions, or waiting a week.

A Already made show would drop on nextflix, 5 seasons worth all at once, and "binging content" was born...

Sad they do not know their own market anymore. Who ever running netflix these days is terrible

My original point was about saving not having a single reason, but varied ones. Maybe not "as much as possible" but enough to provide for any of the things above for one‘s kids.
Oh yes, since Post Civil War and Pre WW2 Soviet Union was an amazingly productive economy without multiple famines and definitely didn't shoot over a million of their own citizens without a good reason.
I think they should give us the option to create watch faces, but don't care about it much. It's very far down my priority list of what I want from Apple Watch.

As for the reasons why they don't, my speculation is the following (I'm not defending them): They are worried about custom watch faces that might perform poorly or draw too much battery. Watch is a challenging platform to develop for as watchOS is very protective of its resources and won't hesitate to kill your app. But Apple probably doesn't want to kill the watch face and at the same time doesn't trust the developers to develop their watch faces to Apple's standard.
I think part of the problem was that selectors that looked inwards or outwards from an element was deemed too expensive to parse. It only looked at the current element or following adjacent ones (with + or ~). Now that it's deemed doable without noticeably hurting performance, :has/:not(:has()) basically comes around and allows you the inward/outward selector lookups, e.g. (`.container:has(input:checked) { border: 1px solid green }` ).

That said, I do agree it would've been nice if they had the foresight to use `:has(:checked)` (or some kind of :if() syntax), but it's all hindsight 20/20 and it was the wild west on the web back when a lot of these features were spec'd/implemented. Kinda wish there was a new css version every 10 years or so to fix the inconsistencies (which you would have to opt into).
Ray Tracing Acceleration Structures (2022)
The phenomenon I'm describing as palpable at JFK ATC is not dependent on volume or vocal intensity (both of which are clearly palpable in the recording you've linked).

Sp. leaving aside whether or not it's more "subdued" (they're both unusual in tone, I'm sure we can agree), the JFK controller did something that the Midway controller didn't: repeated the entire transmission including callsign, in case his first tx had been stepped on, unbeknownst to him.

He was able to do this in such a quick timeframe because he was employing the phenomenon I'm describing. Dialing deep into it: the way he allowed his full NY accent to come out ("cleh-ance" instead of "clearance", for example) delivered the full message at a very high signal to the ear _twice_ in about the same span as the Midway controller (while yes, using a louder volume) got a less clear message across only once.

I dream of being an ATC. It's something I'll do later in life in the context of a multiplayer game, I think.
Just to add to what the other commentator said, ducted based systems are VERY hard to balance. It is possible using something called an Volume Damper, but it is uncommon (and adjusting them can be challenging, sometimes requiring removal of drywall).

So people COMMONLY wind up with unbalanced floors, and people typically try to fix it by adjusting the vent register opening with mixed success.

Part of the problem is that the thermostat is biased to wherever it is located. You can get systems with remote add-on temperature sensors, but that doesn't by itself adjust where heat/cold is being sent through a ducted system.

The great thing about a Mini-Split is that you're, at minimum, heating each floor independently with its own thermostat. You can then put in e.g. interior door vents that simply let air pass between common areas and the rooms when the doors are closed.

This can go even further with for example two Air Handlers per floor (quad units) on the east and west. So that as the sun moves, the correct level of adjustment can be applied to only the side of the floor that needs it.
You think Americans buying bananas from poorer countries makes those countries poorer?
The anti-speculation comes more from the tulip factor than the "just for billionaires" factor. Crypto is touted as currency. If you're going to have a stable currency it can't be easily subjected to the mania of tulip futures.
It probably doesn't make sense to attribute it to communism, because Russia is doing the same damn throw human life into a meat grinder approach in the modern day despite no longer being nominally communist. But that poor outcome is definitely attributable to something in the neighborhood of communism, namely the more general totalitarianism, which communism was most certainly a gateway to.

Having said that, I'm not terribly keen on the nominally capitalist nominally democratic "inverted" totalitarianism that's on the rise. But given that more potent forms of totalitarianism are resurgent and eager to fill any power vacuums, I guess it's the best path we've got for now. I can just hope that the newer generations have developed enough memetic resistance to make the whole Facebook (nee Fox News) hysterical-nonsensical mob thing a passing fad.
There is considerable research on this already, of less sophisticated models. The research as it stands now, seems to be really positive. So I'm not quite sure its as thoughtless as you state.
>I don’t think any technique is inherently bad: imperative, global variables, and even “goto” can be used wisely to solve problems.

The word "wisely" does the heavy lifting here. Put it this way: would you rather work on a legacy code base that has goto statements all over the place, or on one where strict standards were applied?

I find this is the relevant question when it comes to programming styles.
> the money you spend on those appliances also lowers your heating bill.

It should net out to no less than the same energy though, right? That refrigerator needs energy to move the heat out of the fridge and into the home. If that process takes more energy than just letting the house HVAC deal with it, wouldn’t the energy bill be higher?
This is almost certainly an abuse prevention measure. Sharing a file sends an email to the person it's being shared with, so it's an attractive vector for spammers.

Paid accounts get to bypass the limit because spammers aren't going to bother -- if they've got a valid credit card, there's much more effective ways of using that to send bulk email.
This one hits home for me.

Early on in my career, I had a "mentor" tell me to try it on my own before asking any questions only to swear under his breath when I messed up. It was a massive source of anxiety balancing between asking a question and the risk of messing up.

When working with junior engineers nowadays, I go out of my way to let them know that any question at any time is acceptable. I'll put down what I'm doing and help them through a problem and then celebrate the solution with them. I never want them to feel the fear of work and failure that I did.
In my XC60 the dial just goes below zero when you're breaking into regen zone, and then there is a little red area at the end of it - if you get into the red zone, normal brakes are used. So there is feedback, you just don't feel it through the pedal.

$5M for each longtime Black resident? S.F. has a bold reparations plan
AARAC calls for one-time, lump-sum reparations payments of $5 million to each eligible recipient. The amount could cover the “the economic and opportunity losses that Black San Franciscans have endured, collectively, as the result of both intentional decisions and unintended harms perpetuated by City policy,” the draft states.

To qualify for the payments, residents must be 18 at the time the committee’s proposal is enacted, and have identified as Black or African American on public documents for at least 10 years. They may also have to prove they were born in the city between 1940 and 1996, have resided in San Francisco for at least 13 years, and be someone, or the direct descendant of someone, incarcerated during the war on drugs.
The word "political" is used in a number of ways. When someone says "How could <x> __not__ be political? Of course it is political." in response to someone complaining about <x> becoming political, I think the person responding is typically using the word "political" in a way different from how it was being used in the original complaint.

I think it would be best to attempt to understand what the person complaining meant by "political", (and if one dislikes using the word "political" by itself to express that idea, or if is unsure if one is interpreting correctly, perhaps rephrase the idea in one's own words, and maybe ask if that was what was meant) and respond to that.

I saw a poll result the other day, which said that, in 2020, some voters and some corporate executives were asked whether they approved of companies expressing support for political/electoral/whatever causes/social issues, and given the options of "yes", "yes, but only if directly related to the company's core business", and "no". According to this poll result, less than 40% of voters picked "yes", and almost 80% said either "yes" or "yes, but only if directly related to the company's core business". (for completeness, but not really relevant to my point : over 60% of the corporate executives polled said "yes", and under 10% said "no")

Perhaps an analogy can be drawn between these two situations?
Same in IT in general. Probably a lot of knowledge based jobs.

Not if they perform speech speech to text on-device and send the parsed results (only a few kb). If you really want to keep things hidden you can perform all the recognition/inference on-device and only send the topic (eg. [1]), which is only a few bits of information.

Millions of people have used them for years. They just weren’t as popular due to gas being cheaper and available everywhere. There’s been a bigger push the last 10 years as gas prices have gone up. So they’ve been there but it didn’t make sense to use. You have to remember that things like gas are much cheaper in the USA. There’s just more natural resources here.
> [...] the USSR was the greatest success story (until China) at lifting a very poor population out of poverty.

It is much easier to display numbers showing that you "lifted poor population out of poverty", when most of that poor population either got genocided or sent off to gulags or simply died off due to the aforementioned poverty. Not even mentioning the classic number massage.

Before someone tries to go full-on "you are just an american shill", I grew up in Russia during 90s, and my parents+grandparents grew up in the USSR. One of them had to cover up his jewish ethnicity his entire life, I only found out about it many years later, after his passing. Let me just say, he wasn't doing that cover-up for some personal reasons at all.

When it comes to the Soviet Union, the closer you are to the source material, the worse it looks.
What’s the actual power consumption? Without those figures the article is just a clickbait. Looking at those multicore results I don’t believe for a second that the CPU was drawing less than 90 watts, probably more.

There is a lot of magic and hard-core engineering work on Microsoft's part to that.

Windows/386 is an hypervisor that runs the Windows as one of the VMs, original DOS as another and can create additional DOS VMs. Windows 3.1 then added the capability of this hypervisor to run some limited kinds of native i386 Windows NT applications on their own VMs that can do inter-VM IPC. Windows 95 extended this architecture to the extreme, there was no “Windows in a VM”, Windows was the OS, that ran Win32 API processes directly, traditional 16bit applications also mostly directly and mainly: it managed bunch VM86 VMs. Prime VM of these ran the original DOS with all of its drivers, which was then used for hardware that did not have native Windows drivers. Another VMs contained the DOS software that you ran. The whole thing was somehow capable of translating the API calls from not only 3 different client ABIs, but also to 3 different driver ABIs…
> A good contractor walks you through why the repair is needed, what your options are (cheap temporary fix, long-term repair, total replacement), the consequences of those choices, and how much each will cost.

This 100%. Technical debt is placeholder term for engineers who want to do stuff but don't want to spend time explaining the people paying their salaries why they are doing it. Technical debt is meaningless. Be more specific. Present options. Be a professional?
I think the general idea is to make use of SIMD, and generally the max size is 2^x. So if you're trying to multiply as many numbers as possible in, say, 64 bits, FP8 would get you 8x8 and FP16 would get you 4x4. FP12 would get you 5x5 with some unused space which would be a huge amount of extra work to implement for a 20% gain in efficiency.

I would be 100% shocked to learn that there are no quiet and private search engines for Fediverse covering the vast majority of posts.

I would also expect, given increasing mainstreaming of Mastodon and the well known discovery issues, a commercial Fediverse search engine to go live in the next year, and to do well, despite the community pushback.

Thanks! Yes, they have nice features of their own. What about adding an mp3 player's features to those products?
Agreed, but with the caveat of not making every single problem you encounter become your team's or your manger's problem. I've seen this especially with some interns, where given the (valid) advice of not being afraid to ask questions, go overboard and make every single task they might have everyone else's task as well.
I honestly think they're the same. If you think they're not then you simply haven't thought it through well enough, which means you need to spend more time on that.
What's the benefit of 24-hour operations in software engineering?

I once worked for a US-based software company that opened an engineering office in Western Europe, planning to have engineers hand off features from one office to the next and keep development going around the clock. Of course this didn't happen because of the overhead of the daily handoff and the aggravation of your code never being in the same state in the morning that it was in the night before.

What actually happened was that both offices worked independently on different features, which was a perfectly productive arrangement, but there was no particular benefit to the fact that they were doing it "around the clock".

I always suspected this plan was just an excuse to seek cheaper talent outside the U.S. without offending the American developers, but now that I've seen someone else mention it, I wonder if there's a real benefit that I'm missing.
I agree there are a lot of speculators. I don’t encourage anyone to invest in crypto. I encourage people to use it.

Use it instead of Venmo next time you need to pay a friend. Use it to pay a contractor in a different country. Use it to buy a domain. It’s gotten so much better now. Still has a ways to go and there are many ways to burn yourself, but it saves me a lot of time each day. If you do a lot of financial transactions and pay a lot of people, you save so much time because you don’t have to deal with endless amounts of false positive security alerts and hours on hold with customer service, and you dont Have to create accounts for your accountant etc., just send them a list of wallet IDs and they can download all the transactions off the chain.
Are you deliberately taking this out of context? Based on your commentary of the video link provided, it seems like it.

They are standing out front of an abortion clinic. It’s a form of intimidation, it’s intentional and specific.

Laws also exist in Australia that restrict protest in and around an abortion clinic. It does NOT mean you can not protest against abortion. It simply means your protest should not involve the intimidation and harassment of other specific citizens as they exercise their right to engage with abortion services.

Your out of context statement has close to nothing to do with this new law change, which from first read seems unreasonable to me.
How did you arrive at that measure of success for Mastodon?

I have my own measure of success and Mastodon meets it well enough, but I wouldn't say treating it as an objective measure adds any value, and why should it? I really only care about n=1.
I find it entertaining how much marriage rules have changed over the years, yet it seems to be a long-standing human practice that is not terribly sensitive to asymmetric risks or downsides.

Yeah, that is the whole point of the statement. No fortune is honest or ethical. The concepts are incompatible.

It is only unhelpful if you want to perpetuate the crime of wealth hoarding.
This seems handy, particularly the phone number part. Reminds me of the privacy credit card system, though their backend is privacy compromised.
A guy picked me up when I was hitchhiking out of Whitehorse, Yukon (or maybe it was Haines Junction?). I should have been suspicious since he had just left a bar (and for some reason had hundreds and hundreds of empty bottles in the back of his pickup truck — for recycling?).

Yeah, he's swerving on the highway. He even let me know the RCMP were very serious about drunk driving. I offered to drive but he declined my offer.

It was the only time I saw the Northern Light in full spectacle — he pulled over for that. Blew my mind (although, at the same time, I was running on very little sleep).

This was back in the mid 1980's, I believe.
I had a mentor at my last job who clearly really didn't want to be one. It was to the point that I would sit paralyzed behind him, loathing turning around to get his help. In all fairness, I had yet to learn a good way to get help without interrupting his hard work. I'm not sure he ever fully knew he was my mentor, but without his help I was completely blocked on making any progress on the deep-end project I was thrown into.

What we both needed was the company setting very clear, explicit expectations. "X is your mentor. X's main job is to mentor you and help you swim in this deep end." Though I think the entire company was learning a ton of stuff at that phase.

Thanks X for all your tolerance over those years. You have no idea how much you saved me, despite my loathing to bother you yet again.

On the other hand, spinning your wheels trying to figure out something for an hour is expensive.

I've never really found a solution to maximizing my "interruption budget". Inevitably I end up both spinning my wheels too long sometimes and interrupting too much at other times.

Meanwhile trying to solve this problem also consumes way too many brain CPU cycles.
