You don’t sound backward. People on the west have been sold on the idea of freedom because they can criticize their politicians. Many third-world “authoritarian” countries have more freedom than the US, however, the general population doesn’t like a ridiculed leader.

Turkey is a much freer country than the US. If the people of Turkey were to enjoy seeing their leader (Erdogan now) being ridiculed, this guy will be showing in circus shows.
The beatings will continue until executive compensation improves.
In addition, the "Stradvarius" sound has been traced to the density of the wood due to the prolonged droughts that produced it. If we use similarly dense wood, modern violins have similar "quality".

Furthermore, almost all of the Stradivarius violins have had some level of modifications or repairs to bring them up to a more "modern" standard. Is that still a "Strad"?

In addition, wood is known to degrade over time. No matter how good the Stradivarius violins were, the longer they exist the less good they become.
I tried "norwegian wood" and got a lot of acoustic guitar with strong down/up strokes but nothing musically similar. Beatles they weren't.
A support role is a great place to understand the interface between your company's product/service and customers.

A few ways for you to look at this differently:

1. Carve out some time (I know this might sound difficult when being buried in P1 tickets, but do it nevertheless) at least on a weekly basis to do analysis of support ticket trends.

2. Build a pareto chart of the top 1 or 2 repeat tickets. (Believe me, there will be repeat tickets in any support op)

3. Build relationship with the core dev team. Show them your analysis of the top ticket and ask them if you could be part of the root-cause-analysis. Use the opportunity to understand the code base and volunteer to test the fix or provide test cases for the issue.

4. Keep doing this until your core dev team starts believing in your analytical skills.

5. Ask them if you could look at their feature/bug-fix prioritization and if your analysis could inform that process.

If you keep doing this, you will find that your volume of tickets go down, you have built rapport and relationship with the dev team (and hopefully the engg manager sees your contributions) and when there is an open position (this is a startup, right? So, positions would open up at some point), apply for it and move laterally.

If the culture of your engg organization is open and they let you contribute through pull reqs, ask a dev for a task assigned to them that you could write unit/integration tests. Repeat this to gain their trust that you know how the code works.

These steps should put you on solid footing for a lateral move into the engg organization.

If you feel the burnout is severe and the culture of the organization does not permit the path mentioned above, you may be better off looking out for a different job that suits your needs.
I understand what you're getting at but the behaviour is just neurotic and childish in general. That thread you just linked is about 30 straight tweets of insane, near incoherent topic switching rambling about a situation this person has created themselves by caring about what pronouns a stranger calls them.

The point is to use them on a real danger. Accurate or not, the Pentagon clearly doesn’t see this ballon as a threat in any capacity. Why would they do anything other than keep an eye on it?
Just wondering, am I getting downvoted because I correctly gender them, or because I’m happy to read content in a format that I can read without it being a mental issue for me?

Because there's a good chance America's three letter agencies have that figured out already anyway and the thing is technically ten years out of date.

Conducting some potentially risky and costly shootdown of a balloon over US territory seems out of proportion.

I did start out this way, but I was trying to make something that would achieve the goal without requiring any changes to my application code. Setting the HTTPS_PROXY environment variable on the app server and adding the internal CA cert to the set of trusted authorities s is all that's required to get it working now, which is nice.

The thing you've described is still a MitM (the "protected API" can still see all of the request contents on their way to the destination).
Root of the comment thread was about Flexplay which literally did destroy itself. It shipped in a vacuum sealed bag with an oxygen reactive dye that rendered the disc useless about 48 hours after opening the package.

I don’t remember Grover ever being on the Muppet Show. Big Bird had a guest appearance once, perhaps that’s what you’re thinking.

Kermit was very much Jim Henson’s avatar and was the core character that the Muppet Show was built around, and existed before Sesame Street (IIRC, he was the very first puppet that Henson made, cut from his mother’s green coat). I believe that the Sesame Street Muppets other than Kermit are all owned by Children’s Television Workshop which is at least in part why they only made limited appearances in non-Sesame Street productions. There was a significant overlap in the puppeteering staff between Sesame Street and the Muppet Show (most notably Jim Henson and Frank Oz who were arguably the greatest comedy duo of the late twentieth century, but I think some other SS puppeteers also worked on the Muppet Show).

Of course, all of this is going from memory and someone going to Wikipedia could probably find all the places where I’ve misremembered things or am just plain wrong.
A) it’s highly visible, probably on purpose

B) China has probably cut a deal to “count nuke sites” which is informally allowed in request during times of high nuclear tension

C) They most likely told us before hand it was going over

D) this is almost positively a big ol nothing burger, and some back channel deal with China to get them not to support Russia
> Why wouldn’t we prioritize simply acquiring the thing for analysis of what sort of optics and other capabilities they’re floating through our air-space?

One hypothesis: because we got high-resolution photographs of it, identified it, and we already have comprehensive intelligence and possibly one or more captured examples of the model, so we don’t expect there to be any particular intelligence value of getting another one.

> By not doing so we imply that’s not something we’re capable of.

Or not something we need to do.
I’m not able to paste into the song field, a little frustrating. Otherwise, this has caused me to sign up for Apple Music.
I don't mean to be 'throwing shade'. I simply believe that what "we" (all people) generally agree is "liberal" vs "conservative" is a moving target, kind of like you say with a pendulum. To relate it to your example, I am simply stating I feel the pendulum is currently biased to liberal.

Not making any statement if that is good or bad, just that the current popular trend (by people, not land mass) seems to be liberal-leaning.

If I were to lend my opinion, I would wager and argue that it's more liberal than we're lead to believe. Since the current conservative strategy is to "stop the opponent from voting", that seems to indicate that people paid very large amounts of money to analyze this stuff determined that in order to win, laws and challenges need to be in place to prevent the other side from showing up to cast a vote.

That's false. They're collected from the seller and defined as a percentage of revenue. Adding a footnote saying "pretend someone else is paying this" won't change who pays the tax or why. When assessed on the buyer, they have the different name "use tax" and, obviously, no one bothers to pay them.

I question the feds' ability to pull this off.

Suppose I buy a bored ape or whatever, and then I sell it, and then the person I sold it to uses one of those non-KYC exchanges to buy XMR. How are the feds going to know whether it was me on both sides or not?

Are they going to correlate my IP to McDonalds wifi and subpoena the security footage and get me via facial recognition? At some point it's just too expensive to chase down.
Missiles already glide. Most air-to-air missiles fire for only a little bit right after they're fired, then spend the rest of the flight coasting. Long range missiles propel themselves on a lofted trajectory to preserve energy, falling on their targets from above. In general, missiles can burn energy very quickly by making high-G turns, but can't recover energy, while aircraft are the opposite, being unable to maneuver as quickly as missiles but being able to constantly add energy. Some missile evasion tactics exploit this asymmetry. But of course, for every countertactic there is a counter-countertactic. The new innovation in missiles is dual pulse missiles, which have two rocket motors so that after firing, coasting, and approaching the target, the second pulse can fire and give the missile more energy to defeat countermaneuvering. The MBDA Meteor is an example of a missile with a dual pulse motor, except that instead of having two motors, it just has one which can be turned on and off.
We have a “consequences taxonomy” we only show our hand depending on level of threat

Some bean counters decided this was low threat. And, more likely, China told us it was coming, and probably to just count silos like we’ve been doing back and forth since the 70s

The Band That Best Captures the Sound of the ’70s
What makes their use of CGI "revolutionary" is how it enabled them to have a real quick production schedule. Most episodes are written, acted, and animated in the span of 6 days. They will often sketch out ideas for the season beforehand, but the bulk of the work on a given episode is done in that very short timeframe. It's why their show is always able to be incredibly topical, often lampooning current events within days of hitting the news cycle. Personally, I think it's the reason they still feel fresh and relevant even after more than 20 seasons.

Traditional animated sitcoms like The Simpsons or Family Guy still contend with a 9-12 month production schedule per episode.

Thanks. I haven't read your book but glad you bring awareness to this issue. We never put limits on how far our kids could roam. The farthest they would pedal, was the mall about four miles away. Only thing I ever feared were cars so most of our instruction was around being safe around traffic.
Most Americans won't know those, because those are state-specific (usually for California; most states don't even have Propositions that citizens can vote on).

Every American knows what the 1st Amendment is, by contrast.
In the same vein is the game "From the Depths". It is just this side of unplayable due to it's systems and simulations. several times now I have started a campaign, enthusiastically go through the tutorials and immediately go combat ineffective when I forget how to assemble a functioning internal combustion engine power train.

Note that that trailer absolutely fails to convey the mysteries found in trying to design a functioning missile system.
Sure, you've gotta have one exchange that knows your bank account, and then move it through a non-KYC exchange to XMR--which means you'll pay an extra fee or two--but unless something has changed in the last year or so that's not a difficult thing to do.
It's kind of hard to make "legacy" purposefully bad code that is useful for teaching assignments. Certainly a lot more work than drawing up a spec.
Agreed, Itano Circus SRM-6 should be standard.

So I'm a mechslut. Today I bought Mechwarrior 5, installed it played for an hour and uninstalled it out of boredom and disgust. When inspired, Mech games can be SO COOL but I think it's just too easy to go with the cheap arcade mode and plain physics.
Some TTS, like Tortoise-TTS or 15.ai are decent at timing and stress, though I think they're generally more at "read an audiobook if supervised" level, and not "be a voice actor, unsupervised" level.
Probably higher since more ad spend would flow to them from less rigorously segmented and fraud-protected junk.
On item 2, I did a project back in the 00s where I watched every movie I’d never seen¹ in the imdb top 500 (Netflix DVD and the library were a great resource for getting through this). It was great background for catching jokes that I’d missed on The Simpsons. Cultural literacy is a widely varied thing.

1. There were a couple that I realized when I watched them that I had seen them, or at least parts of them when I was a kid, most notably Lawrence of Arabia. There were only a handful that felt like a burden to watch, and of those the only one I remember being bored silly by was Jules et Jim.

Also, nope sorry ;), I didnt say anything about whatever nonsense you're talking about. I simply stated that its about providing space for discussion and evidence, all that rant crazy is on you.

Interesting that asking for open discussion with supporting evidence pushes so many buttons for you.
Look for "square root by long division". That's what it seems to be called these days, but it was just taught as "the square root algorithm" when I learned it many decades ago.

Not everyone is using Apple Music (or its competition).

Even for those who are using a music platform, this project still has its unique algorithm that’s likely to surface distinct results. Partly because the developer can do their own innovation and partly because the platforms influence the algorithm in ways that aren’t necessarily aligned with users’ interests. e.g. promoting artists they have favorable relationships with.

The developer can also offer features that Apple et al aren’t offering, perhaps because it would complicate their app too much or isn’t high priority, but makes sense for a specialized tool like this. e.g. fine grained settings to filter and sort results.
Is it though? Television ads worked for years without any direct feedback. I assume a company can just look at before and after revenue…

I think you are vastly overestimating not only how much people do work rationally, but how much it's even possible. E.g., System 2 thinking is just much more expensive. And programmers usually work in environments that are pretty data-poor with respect to important factors. And that's before we even get to both project-level and individual path-dependence.
Oh wow, that's super interesting! In retrospect it's super clear that muting and unmuting the microphone system-wide will pretty much always work, since it's incredibly unlikely someone would need to have input on between push-to-talk activations, but for whatever reason, it never occurred to me. I use a cheap USB foot pedal to avoid needing to manage holding down the button while trying to do stuff in-game, and I'm realizing now how obvious it is that making it just toggle mute/unmute on each press rather than needing to hold down my foot would be _way_ more convenient!
A good chance OP is going to hear from Apple legal, Apple recruiting, or both =)

To what end? Most big streamers have a low tolerance for total spam.
Idk, but the drop in revenue is due to companies (eg coca-cola), no longer wanting to pay alphabet to have their ads displayed on alphabet's platforms, not so much as a drop in the amount of people clicking ads. (I say no longer wanting, there's still companies wanting obviously, demand for a spot on the platform is just lower). And it's mostly just the effects of monetary tightening, and companies trying to prepare for tight times.
I dont know about funding overall, but my idea was to have many small "miners" that would go to an asteroid and then (maybe electrolytically) gather up a ball of high grade metallic ore, maybe 1kg and then lob them onto the Nullabour plain in Australia, where there are no native rocks and almost no people.

So, I know so many problems there - safety, reentry control, shielding, etc etc, but I am just exploring the granularity, eg in the range of one big one or many small ones. Because I think many small ones might be better, but also easier to fund because no single failure totals the project.

Many small ones might mean, less up front funding for proof of concept, though not much less engineering.

But reduced risk, not all your eggs are in one basket, so maybe the engineering can be of a little less rigor because the loss of any one miner is not that great.

Probably they lob multiple payloads over time, but in the end get abandoned in place.

There is plenty of holes that can be poked, I am sure, but the point is the granularity model you have might vary your ability to get funding substantially.
It couldn't possibly be because the google search engine produces pretty bad results these days, could it?
I really highly recommend Robert Hazen's _Story of Earth_ [1] if you're into this sort of stuff. Highly knowledgeable and entertaining geologist argues that the geosphere and the biosphere should really be viewed as one co-evolving system, over deep time. There are thousands of species of minerals that can only exist because of the action of life, and those minerals in turn enable new forms of life, which enable new species of mineral, and so on in a complex and ever evolving system within which we exist for only a fraction of an instant.

Cool, will give it a shot.
Just to put numbers on it for example…Say they travel 1 mile down range where they then rise in altitude. Now, they float back 2 miles before lowering altitude to travel back 1 mile to where they started.

They fly past for a 1 mile distance in this example
Here's how I see it:

99% of the time a game after 1998 or so says "vsync" it means double buffered vsync, so I'll explain that version.

Let's say the game renders frames instantly.

Without vsync but locked at 60FPS, an input can take up to 16ms to cause an effect on the monitor because the game loop only applies and renders pending inputs once every 16ms at this framerate. Each input will have between 0ms and 16ms of lag.

In double buffered vsync at 60Hz, its the same thing: the game loop applies and renders pending inputs once every 16ms. But now the frame is not shown on the monitor right away. Instead, the loop waits for the monitor to be ready. And because the loop will restart right after that, this wait will always be another 16ms. Each input will have between 16ms and 32ms lag.

Of course if your render takes more than 16ms you will have more issues, but that's not the problem here. Even with a computer that renders instantly, the lag will be too much.

And yes this will be on top of the already existing lag of the game and peripherals.

I don't understand how you get 48ms. If I have a mouse with 4ms of lag, it will just add a constant 4ms to the total making worst case 32ms + 4ms. I did think it was 48ms at some point but now I think I just imagined it.
Maybe the problem here is the boiled down ternary, true, not true, mixture. That gets further aggregated until they can same big stats like “Party X made 80% false claims” while the other party only made 20% false claims, because their false claims have been conveniently softened to “mixture.”
