Consider Schopenhauer‘s telic vs atelic pursuits vis-a-vis happiness. Telic pursuits are those like you reference, badges of honor that have an end (job promotion, raise, bigger house, whatever). These are inevitably and ultimately unsatisfying. Atelic pursuits, on the other hand, have no end. Like a craftsman, you are always honing them, never “done”. These are where fulfillment comes from. Being the best [x] you can be. Father, runner, etc. The journey is the destination.
Pragmatically, the domain is displayed after the title and such a practice would (barring any functional changes) replace, e.g., "(wsj.com)" with "(archive.{is|ph|today|whatever})". The "true" domain could be retrieved from the archive URL but I wouldn't imagine that it currently is, and then enters the question of which archive domains should be supported.
The default variable names go all the way up to z. So you I would write your function as:

f:{z+y*x}

(k is evaluated strictly right to left - another design decision that I quite like -, so I had to move the variables around in the expression)

If you wish, you can provide your own variable names as follows:

f:{[a;b;c]c+b*a}

This works in k and q (q is largely k with some nice-to-have functions defined on top).

It's mentioned in the FAQ

>It's ok to post stories from sites with paywalls that have workarounds.

>In comments, it's ok to ask how to read an article and to help other users do so.

... more at the FAQ.

Often the paywalled site is the original content, which is why it's encouraged to lead with that.

Many paywalls were circumvented by a simple procedure, disabling the java script, but sites have slowly become more guarded using other means.

I only wish there was a means to search the web, and turn off all paywalled sites from results or advertising.

That would be my assumption as well: they're relatively similar in what they're looking for many of the same things: reasonable prices for land, water, electricity, etc., amenable local government, and reasonable housing + workforce.

you can mitigate the cost by not 'call'-ing into your coroutine switch function but inlining the code into the surrounding coroutine. As a bonus you get a bit better branch prediction on your yield because distinct yields will share less state.

Of course there is always going to be a penality for stackful coroutines that yield deep into a callstack.
tl;dr: "nonalcoholic beer provides water, polyphenols and carbohydrates (which together) aid metabolic recovery"

Polyphenols are a broad class that includes lignans, tannins, flavonoids, and stilbenes; I usually hear about the stilbene resveratrol in "alcohol is good for you, actually" contexts. They're also in wine, and in both wine and beer can be dependent on variety and origin.[1]

Excellence. Quality. Science. These are just a few of the words that have been applied to the illustrious research career of James Mickens. In the span of a few years, James Mickens has made deep, fundamental, and amazing contributions to various areas of computer science and life. Widely acknowledged as one of the greatest scholars of his generation, James Mickens ran out of storage space for his awards in 1992, and he subsequently purchased a large cave to act as a warehouse/fortress from which he can defend himself during the inevitable robot war that was prophesied by the documentary movie “The Matrix.” In his spare time, James Mickens enjoys life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, often (but not always) in that order, and usually (almost always) while listening to Black Sabbath.

Awesome! So the important part of section 6.2.1 (2008) is the “should” is not a “must”?

“A quiet NaN bit string should be encoded with the first bit (d1) of the trailing significand field T being 1. A signaling NaN bit string should be encoded with the first bit of the trailing significand field being 0.“

Or is it that some implementations before 2008 used other bits?

Job mobility is not easy for low income earners. Not having a paycheck is really difficult if you're living paycheck to paycheck. And it's difficult to interview and job hunt if all of your free time is spent working, commuting, and caring for your family.

Why don't employers just treat workers with basic dignity and a level of pay that isn't poverty-level?
I think the author's point would be that Apple is doing this to non-serious or not-serious-yet podcasters.

I'm sceptical about this story. It's a nice anecdote for the book to show a point about how training data can't always be generalised to the real world. Unfortunately it just doesn't ring true. Why train it using Marines, don't they have better things to do? And why have the game in the middle of a traffic circle. The whole premise seems just too made up.

If anyone has another source corroborating this story (or part of the story) then I'd like to know. But for now I'll assume it's made up to sell the book.

Under the current circumstances, if someone chooses to do a job because they find it socially important then they won’t have much leverage to bargain for better pay.

If there are people who will todo your job for the amount of money you find unacceptable, you will have a hard time bargaining for more money.

We, the people who pay for social worker through taxes, must be willing to pay them more. AND the social workers must be willing to walk away if their own needs aren’t being met.

How to Conduct a Website Content Audit: A Step-by-Step Guide
Not OP but I’d recommend looking at the r/FIRE, r/LeanFIRE, r/ChubbyFIRE, and r/FatFIRE as starting points for how people in various situations retire early, often by scaling from 5 workdays to 0 workdays over time rather than abruptly in the traditional retirement context.
On top of results(or even rather than), it can be more useful to talk about scale. Often times the end result is not really in your control. One could say 'deployed a pilot project to a group of 10,000 users to see the effect of X on Y' or 'worked on a project that had a throughput of 50k transactions per hour', etc...

Yeah, it mattered a lot more in the GUI days where your file browser was also your document manager was also your application launcher. There's a lot of reasons Windows never really supported it (depending on one's view of Windows 3.x's half-hearted mostly wrong attempt, Active Desktop, and/or Live Tiles, of course) and all of the best known spatial navigation tools are long gone today. (Even GNOME's Nautilus spatial mode was removed more years ago than I would like to admit it has been since I once briefly heavily used it.)

Still, though, getting back somewhat on topic, I sometimes wonder what an OS with modern underpinnings committing to older GUI principles like spatial navigation might look like.

You can easily add more components to start thinking about models/assumptions/etc, like adding interfaces to Data Catalogs (i.e. Glue Data Catalog).

As part of a POC I made, I built a similar bot without recursion for debugging and iterative query building though. It does the following:

- It predicts most probable entities from the question.
- Searches AWS Glue Data Catalog for the most probable/useful tables.
- It builds an Athena SQL Query from N most useful tables.

It obviously get it catastrophically wrong sometimes, but hell, it was a 3 hour POC. If you can make better indices that map entity->table relationships it should get better at searching tables. Add this kind of recursive/iterative debugging of queries, and you get at least something near a junior-level SQL Analyst.

These kind of bots are analogous to Stable Diffusion, they DO need a good prompter/puppeteer/solution-verifier. Most non-senior Data Analysts also need one anyways.

> As engineers we're measuring everything, all the time right?

Is this mostly a joke? I've written plenty of APIs, but I have never load-tested them in isolation, never had to respond to underperforming latency or throughput metrics, or even face any feedback on software performance. In most cases, I don't know who uses the code I wrote, and no metrics from them ever make it back to me personally. For exactly 95.2% of what I've delivered, I couldn't tell you that I improved Foo by Bar units even if you held a gun to my head.

Peak grid load is not during the day when people are at work. It is right after they get home when their EVs would be plugged in. EVs can be used to soften this demand's load on the grid.
It could be any of the above, but it could have been just about anything. Maybe it was just some bored kid, maybe with autism. At that scale it could have been done by one person all at once over a few days, or bit by bit over the course of a year or so. Maybe somebody commuted that way to their favorite fishing spot and tripped over a rock one day, then decided to clear whichever rock stood out the most to the side. Then the line grew slowly over the course of many years, like farmers creating hedge rows by throwing whatever rock they plow up to the side of the field.

The Air doesn't work well at peak loads for extended periods of time. The use case is very different for gaming.
Hm. I like your idea! It's one of the few that I think have a chance of working in practice.

In my experience, there is great value in describing your ideas to people who don't have the background to fully understand them, don't really care about them, and are in a bit of a trollish mood - the ways in which they misunderstand what you're saying, or pick on (what you think are) random, irrelevant things, is highly informative. The feedback you get from such people makes you think about things and in ways you wouldn't have thought otherwise.

The problem is, of course, you generally don't have a pool of such people available 24/7. However, LLMs today seem like they could fit this role just fine. They can't and won't understand the point you're trying to get across - but they can and will (if asked) pattern-match on vague language, logical jumps, sentences with multiple meanings, etc. They'll get it subtly wrong, too - much like a bored friend who's mostly focused on playing Angry Birds and hears only every third sentence of your monologue, and then blurts something to keep you talking for the next 30 seconds so they can focus on aiming the birds at the towers of pigs.

I would totally use a LLM-backed tool optimized to facilitate such conversation sessions. I actually tried this in the past, in AI Dungeons, and results were encouraging (i.e. responses got me to think in ways I normally don't).
Peak electricity demand occurs in the evening when people come home from work and start cooking and watching TV and giving the kids and bath and so on. Bring your car home, plug it in, and it supplies the grid at this peak time. Then it charges up again overnight when demand is otherwise low, and it is ready for you to go to work in the morning. As long as you have some charge left in your battery at the end of the day, it can work out fine.

Also, some of us work from home, or commute by public transit, or whatever, and only use the car on weekends.

However, despite switching from one subscription to another to access each different AAD tenant across multiple chrome profiles, it seems that Azure "remembers" the subscription you last accessed, across profiles.
