You can make unity much faster by disabling "version control" in the package manager, you don't need it but it makes code reload time much much longer.

Another huge thing to make things faster is to check the "enable playmode run settings" box and ensure that you don't reload the entire code base every time you press the play button. If a "waiting" box pops up every time you press play then the settings aren't right, you can remove that so entering and exiting play happens instantly.

I was thinking a big vertical heat pipe that sticks out like a chimney would be great for this and keep inside+outside sealed.

When it’s colder outside, liquid will evaporate on the bottom and condense at the top through gravity. Once it’s warmer outside, the whole process just stops.

No valves, no pumps, no analog or digital controls. Ok, maybe a fan.

I actually want a fridge/freezer at the cabin that works like this in fall/winter/spring. I know it’s technically moving heat from inside to outside, but I’ve got more wood than electricity to work with.
So they’re training Alexa not to recognize the specific recording. I’m wondering if this has any side effects for the actors from those ads: if they have an Alexa at home, does it (sometimes) fail to recognize them?

(And wouldn’t it be cool, if somewhat dystopian, if Alexas all over the US quipped “hey, that’s my big sister on the TV!”?)
I don't know if I'd spend a fortune on detergent pod with a button, but I'd definitely use it to order more detergent and thus end up buying it from Amazon instead of the grocery store. Same with toilet paper and whatever infrequent buys that you want when you notice something is running low

Western individualism, like nearly every other aspect of western culture, has its roots in Christianity. Europe had already diverged long before the “intelligentsia” you’re talking about.

A problem I see here is that it extrapolates the statistics of users users of the extension, onto all users of Youtube.

Fortunately the users of the extensions are most probably better informed than the average Youtube user. However, if the downvotes are more "accurate" (more deserved) because of that, it means they are also more accurate for new videos as opposed to old videos.

So I suspect new Youtube videos might have more downvotes than old Youtube videos. Perhaps we could find some reuploads of all Youtube videos and compare the downvotes…
You could probably build something better than what the AoE2 remake has now. I don't know if it'd be viable in 1998, though. Wasn't like today's constantly self-updating games; each patch risked fragmenting the community, and they only released like 2 patches across 15 years of activity. They chose something simple that'd work well enough without having to tweak it. And old PC specs, and no dedicated servers. You said it's better to disadvantage laggers than to punish everyone, but that requires some balancing to ensure it's fair enough. AoE model is always fair and can be lag-free.

Yes it relies on the players trusting each other a little to avoid extreme lag, but there are plenty of ways to ruin this kind of game besides lagging. It's not like CoD where a few useless teammates won't make a big difference, while it didn't have automated ranked play like Csgo. (but the recent DE remake does, and yes it needs better netcode)

Time-traveling netcode... I know Slippi does this, and it works great.
You're right: It is easier to effectively nullify this sort of thing in state legislatures.

One might conclude from this that there's a reason the Federal government can set minimum standards effective across the country.
There is a danger too to encrypting your data with non built in KMS key: The key can be deleted and your data can become irrecoverable. KMS has a waiting period of 7-30 days when it is deleted but it is up to you to alert yourself of the fact that someone deleted it. We have AWS config alerts on this that send out via various means.
There is nothing weird about a car in the luxury space dropping its prices 20% overnight? Are there other examples of cars (in the same price range, volume levels) doing this? Is it that common?

Are you implying all price fluctuations are uninteresting because they are all a matter of matching supply with demand?
This is actively ghastly chin-stroking under the guise of intellectualism and should have no place here.
This is great perspective. Would be awesome if you could share a spreadsheet. So often things are reported in terms of "up X%" or "down Y%", when a simple line chart would tell a more complete and understandable story.

Plenty of democratic countries have monarchs. Most of Europe still has monarchs, because they're constitutional monarchies -- which is a fairly common democratic form of government.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constitutional_monarchy

What matters is not whether there is a king, but the details of how the specific powers are allocated between the different parts of government. Sweden is also a constitutional monarchy, with a king.

I have a loos story I can tell that links mod_python to WSGI (a bit).

One of the initial inspirations for creating the Django web framework back a the Lawrence Journal-World newspaper in ~2003 was that we wanted to start using Python on the web, but were concerned that mod_python didn't have quite enough existing users.

What if it turned out not to work for us?

So we designed a simple abstraction layer - a request and response object - as an insurance policy. If mod_python turned out not to work for us we could switch to something else without having to rewrite all of our code.

At around about the same time the Python Web SIG formed - https://simonwillison.net/2003/Oct/18/pythonWebSIG/ - and we joined it with the aim of helping define a standard similar to what we had been building for our own, private newspaper CMS.

WSGI was the eventual result of that SIG - I didn't participate in the working group nearly as actively as I had planned to, so I can't say that I had much if any impact on the result.

But hopefully this illustrates that yes, the people involved were very aware of mod_python back in 2003 when this work kicked off.
I Have over One Thousand Personal Email Addresses (2019)
I did work in Scala for a few years. We employed Cats[1], and even a bit of Matryoshka[2] though most of the work I do today is in Python.

Nowadays I think about computational requirements in terms of relations among behavioral dependencies. Like, "I want to perform operation O on input A and return a B. To do this, I'll need a way to a -> b and a way to b -> b -> b." I often pass these behavioral dependencies in as arguments and it tends to make the inner core of my programs pretty abstract and built up as layers of specificity.

Zooming out nearly all the way, it makes me feel tethered in a qualitatively unique way to certain deep truths of the universe. In a Platonic sense, invoking certain ideas like a monad make me feel like I'm approaching the divine or at least one instantiation of a timeless universal that operates outside of material existence.

I'd imagine some mathematicians might see the universe in a similar way - one where immortal relations between ontological forms exist beyond time and space and at the same time can be threaded through the material world by intellectual observation and when those two meet a beautiful collision occurs.

> Man fined after his butt dials 911"

Tangent: I know the phenomenon can also happen with your thigh, but sticking to the name itself: I never got and still don't get why "butt dialing" is a thing - because I can't understand why on Earth would people carry a phone in their back pocket. Or a wallet, for that matter, which was a popular sight before smartphones. I regularly see people carrying either on their butt, often sticking half-way out of pocket. They're like walking billboards for pickpockets, with blinking LEDs forming a banner saying "easy target // steal from me!!". Hell, in some cases the phone is sticking out so much that I wonder how many times a day they lose it.
I can also image it wondering around the globe and mistaking a cruise ship for something and blowing it up. Much like shooting down a Korean Airlines Jet and MH17.
Lol you were greyed out not even for arguing what you’re saying, but simply for giving two examples of what isn’t allowed to be said.

"What’s so great about it - besides letting you develop a reasonably fast server in Python, surely it is more then that?"

Sounds to me like you've figured out the reason for this project just fine!
While that's true, the questions was specifically about the claim they are "drowning their software with ads". Providing a single example doesn't really support that claim.
> rather about "backing up" our species

First we need to stabilize the Earth, dealing with the threat coming in decades, before we deal with threats that come millions of years apart.
Not sure how it is in the UK, but in Germany, where there is also a lot of outcry and hate towarfs them, the protestors (once you dig through) actually have very few and most simple demands: partly even promises that have been given for years by politicians, it is borderline ridiculous. They would be quite easy to fulfill even. Still, nothing happens.

Given that the issue of climate change is so profound and long existant (I mean, against it any crisis like Vietnam or tofay's pandemic just pale) I can only sympathize with them - and imo it's hugely unfair to blame the state becoming more deep state on them, don't do that.

It is on our all's huge lethargic laziness I really feel more and more guilty for, both deep state and climate change nonaction.

> We don't know if it will be enough or not...

Strong disagree, the way you envision what we can only do we know definitely it will not be enough. Period. Sorry to agree to your last paragraph, but that is almost climate change denial ;)
years ago, i picked up a couple of very young and beautiful women in downtown Denver hitchhiking up to Winter Park. They were from Chile, barely spoke English, and worked at the resort for the season. I asked them to promise me they'd never hitchhike again from where i picked them up. I had no interest in seeing their photos/bodybags on the news.

The article's title says "at 35W", but the article text says "the T-series chip is rated at up to 106 Watts". That appears to refer to the chip's short-term turbo power limit (PL2 in Intel parlance), typically effective for a default of 28 seconds if thermal limits don't kick in—but the time parameter can be adjusted by the end user (and this benchmark run has unknown provenance, so who knows what power management settings were in effect).

Since the benchmark in question (Geekbench 5) only runs for a minute or two, it does most of its work before the chip even attempts to throttle down to anywhere near 35W. An actual power measurement averaged over the entire benchmark run would yield a significantly higher value than 35W.
Alternatively, phrase the permission as what the app is technically trying to do, with a warning about what this could be used for.

"This extension wants be able to inject content in any tab. (Warning: This could potentially be used to track history of sites, and access all browsing data)."

That is actually accurate, while the current message is misleading.

Imagine this sort of scheme extended to "root" permission in ChromeOS. The stating worse case vs accurate with warning about worse case would be as follows:

> [Appname] wants permission to steel all your data and brick your device.

and

> [Appname] wants full control of this device. (Warning: this level of access could be used to steal your data, or brick your device).

The first one is most likely untrue, and borders on libel, while the second is true and accurate.
The real Alexa product is the wealth of data that the device can provide with 24 hr surveillance. The shaky voice recognition/command model is merely just the Trojan horse.

Amazon now knows who is watching the Super Bowl and will treat you as a consumer they can advertise to.

Alexa skill developers were sold a promise of platform promotion, quality, and customer interaction. The whole consumer experience for adding custom Skills is fairly arbitrary and broken. You’ll be lucky to make $20/month from ISPs (in-skill purchases) and the other dead-end up sells your customers/users will ignore.

The smart thing to do in winter is put municipal liquid water in your freezer, and dump it outside once frozen to thaw in spring. Rince repeat all winter long.

I love Godot to pieces, have used it for several games and will continue to do so. Here's what's missing:

* Sane animation import toolchain. The current one from blender is enormously finicky.

* Good enough pathfinding (supposed to be fixed in GD4)

* Better native map support (heighmap or some sort of interior)

* Fix the 2d tileset editor, doing anything interesting in it is way too labor intensive because it lacks copy paste for tile parameters. A better system would let you set up a small number of tile templates and just map tiles to templates to quickly rig up huge tilesets.
I enjoy simple mappings of input to outputs.

For tree based processing functional programming Ocaml and Haskell are meant to be very effective. Especially if you can think of your problem as a functional isomorphism.

When I created my toy database I used a pipeline of tuples that were reduced. Relational data is easy to process with functional ideas.

Clojure pipelines are similar.

My problem with functional programming is its readability. If someone had a different idea of how they would approach the problem functionally, it can be tricky to read the code that performs the functional mapping.
Said comment seized on one phrase, jumped to a conclusion about what the top-level's friend's actual misunderstanding was, and chastized them for not agreeing with their guess. We don't know if the top-level commenter's judgment is correct, but the rest of us certainly don't have enough evidence to be so confident they're wrong.
Except you don't know what exactly you are buying, what the price is, whether the purchase went through, when it will reach you... What Amazon quickly found out is that even if the button is within reach people will still prefer to take an extra 10 seconds to pull out the phone from their pocket and tap the Amazon app instead.
It more let’s the bot can query a database (using a DSL you teach it) when it wants to.

So for example if it couldn’t remember an anecdote from the clients past, I guess it could search the history?

eg ask to search for “Sarah" and then use all stories about her as part of a prompt and iteratively rerun itself.

I think humans would still beat it at synthesising patterns drawn from disparate sessions. But it sounds doable to code…
Here's to hoping that this article leads to PRs in their respective projects!

I did this once while returning from a road trip from Boston to the northern tip of New Hampshire and back. Younger and dumber?

I picked up some 50+ year old man with very long brown hair (down to his butt). He was definitely an outsider. Told me stories, how the FBI interrogated him once for having a book (I forget which one). How he used to work as a guard at the local jail, then as a cook at a castle-like hotel (both in the area). How his stress free life and eating local herbs/forest plants has prevented his hair from graying. Talked about his tiny, simple house with two rooms. He told me about American ginseng (illegal to harvest btw), and we pulled off the side of the road to find some. The plant made part of my lips swell a bit. Had that "lots of enzymes" flavor (like how peaches/strawberries/etc can tickle the inside of your mouth, but much stronger).

He said he had an wife in Kentucky that he hadn't finished divorcing, and then he asked me to drive him all the way back to Boston. He didn't even request to stop by his house. I let him out in downtown and he walked off into the night, presumably towards the airport.

Edit: oh yeah, i forgot that craziest part. He said people have been lnyched during his time living there. (Sorry if this is too dark, but all things considered, its hard to believe everything he said)
> Proof of a compound proposition “x and y implies z” is a command to run that will generate the proof of the atomic proposition z from the proofs of the atomic propositions x and y. For pattern rules, this proof is parameterised by the instantiation of the universally quantified variable. For some reason, in make, the universally quantified variable is written as “%” in the proposition, and “$” in the proof.*

I guess using this model we only care about existence of a proof (although which proof is relevant in the actual contents of the updated target?); come to think of it I don't know how make handles having multiple viable paths to freshen a target.
Encryption is easy. Key management is hard.
The last few years of Apple notebook revisions have been pretty incremental, until the M1 arrived. I was happy using 3-4 year old MBA's because the user experience was not that different, but the M1 models were a night and day difference- better battery life and better performance, cooler operation with no fan.

Seems practically impossible- if not technically then definitely from a business standpoint (why were these potential gains unrealized for so long?)
I don't see how "everyone is doing it" is your reading of "some rights are more of an exception than a rule". What is the "do" part that everyone does? Not having it? The history is that there were no rights, then in some places some rights appeared, that means some countries are more or less behind, but not "doing it".
In my short career, I'd say it's that young startups (or teams) with a higher than average number of females WHO STAY THERE (ie low female co-workers turnover) that really survive the longest. If female devs/marketing/HR/management escape fast from the company, its a red flag to me.

For most terminal emulators (and not gVim or editors with Vim bindings), you can also use Alt+[first key you want to type in normal mode]. e.g. Alt+J to enter normal mode and go down one line. Or Alt+Space to enter normal mode and go forward one space (which usually has the apparent effect of entering normal mode without shifting the cursor backwards, which is pretty intuitive).
This keeps getting repeated all over the internet but is simply not true. There may be a day when Amazon turns Alexa into advertising spyware, but that definitely wasn't its original intention and nothing of the sort is happening today.

If my presumption that analog watchfaces are dying and only used for "classical" looks (as evidenced by all those trendy "artistic" watchfaces that frequently don't even have marks), then I suspect it'll be another lie of a generation, just like I've been told to learn how to do math in my head because "there won't be any calculators around".

I mean, analog watchfaces are bad at telling precise time - it's just that there wasn't anything better until quite recently (and people are typically fine with 5-minute precision). They're great for conceptualizing time intervals (easy to mentally picture a pie chart), but I strongly suspect most people when asked "when is the next meeting?" are reading time then doing the arithmetic rather than reading the interval directly.

I could be wrong, of course.
