The tax/tariff laws might dictate 30 minutes; however, in this case, it is also a practical limit for recording on your phone. Manufacturers need to set some boundaries in case someone is making a pocket recording that potentially could fill up the storage, drain the battery, and crash the device. If you want to record more than 30 minutes, you are better off buying recording equipment.
It does, but it turns them off on any article that is even remotely controversial.
The Python code is unnecessarily verbose and doesn't actually work:

• No need to involve Path objects; open("beef.txt") works.

• The first argument for filter() should be the filter, not the iterable.

• The stream itself is iterable, so no need to call the readlines() method.

• The first argument for re.match() should be the pattern, not the string.

• You probably wanted re.search(), not re.match(). Or, since this is a fixed string, use the ‘in’ operator.

• ‘is not None’ is not necessary for checking if the match was successful.

• It's ‘reversed’, not ‘reverse’.

• All that sorting and reversing is unnecessary when you're going to put it in a set anyway.

I'm wondering how these compare to existing hardware accelerated AES?
Might be that reading "collapsing the Polar Vortex" and having no background knowledge gives you the impression. (As is it did for me) But on deeper reading its more of an interesting deviation and a good heads up not to expect normal weather patterns.
It strongly depends on your personality type. I'm much, much, much more productive WFH due to my ADHD.

Also, noise cancelling earphones did NOT help while I was still in the office.
It's hard to suggest things tbh because it's very individual.

I decided to buy and move to a farm we're I will renovate it myself and create an environment which is quite, green and lively.

I also hope that this will give me the balance and allows me to look outside in my future park while working and also being able to transition into life work balance which is worth it.

Then I will try to design a sustainable day to day schedule for enough time for outside and study time. The study time itself will than be containing all the things you mentioned like learning music or another language.

you answered your own question. Some places can do it. All places cannot. Geography and international politics.

Poverty, education, corruption, actual warzones, famines and natural disasters, even month long riots in developed countries - all these are happening now and happened every year since 2019. It's completely impossible for the world to stop the virus as a world.
A very hard thing to do though is the requirement of generics.
If everything is typed, you may have functions that take an argument and produce another value of the same type for instance. And generics are really, really hard to implement correctly.
For every opinion, you will find a suitable study on the subject. But what I think is obvious is that if you don't look at the actual gaming itself, you'll notice that other activities are being crowded out by the excessive use of video games. Many friends from my youth still play 5+ hours of video games a day. They don't seem very happy and many of them lack perspective.
In other words, do we want our kids to spend hours a day playing Fortnite when there are alternatives like sports activities or spending time with friends and family?
Before Corona I travelled a lot and now I live so remotely that a office job is out of the question without moving.

The actual remote jobs I've seen in that time all had weird issues like fixed (early) meeting times, more often than not even daily. Or performance tracking that went as far as installing third party monitoring Software while not even getting a dedicated work computer. Or being available at slack the whole time.

If that is what remote work means I don't get it. It's just as stressful if not more, minus the commute.
Finite and Infinite Games by James P Carse is one of my favourite books of all time.

> where they can not leave.

unlike a prison, you're free to leave the job.
There’s also a middle ground, which I find more useful than either full-floating or full-fixed. Use floating for intermediate calculations and fixed-only with autorounding for “fields”. So that:

var t = obj.x // fixed -> fp
for (<n times>) {
t += 0.1
}
obj.x = t // adds exactly n/10

The key observation is that intermediates don’t float free long enough before being assigned back to a fixed storage. So the error has no chance to accumulate. But still can manifest in comparisons. If necessary, floating point can be replaced with precise enough fixed point for intermediates (at a cost, e.g. tens of digits).

The correct answer is to use floating point and to understand it and numerical software before doing it

Yes, but this also has associated costs and risks. Unless you’re pressed against some wall, it’s more safe to offload that to a runtime. Humans are way too unreliable when it comes to understanding numerical software.
It’s a gift if you don’t have small children. It’s ridiculously harder if you do. It’s like trying to work in an emergency room, where every minute there’s some emergency, and you’re trying to do something different.

Of course most people working in tech aren’t facing this issue and so think working from home is great for everyone.
Yeah im creating JSON structures of a story plot using GPT and then I use that to create individual images with dalle (I should def use stable diffusion for the cheaper cost :D). The tricky part is to always inject the same kind of style. Fun prompt engineering!

Film does not have more dynamic range than good digital sensors.

In the end, it's about faithfully recording which parts of the site got hit by photons. Digital sensors do that more accurately than any practically-sized strips of plastic with silver grains on them do. Both in terms of location (resolution) and amount (dynamic range).

It's true film handles blown highlights better, but not that much better, and digital handles underexposed shadows significantly better.
I am not ignoring it. Thats why its called "sovereign money".
It may be hard to believe now, but there was a time when iTunes was a great piece of software. It used to have two jobs - play your music and manage your music - and it had a good UI for both tasks.

iTunes had a "brushed metal" interface - the Apple HIG said brushed metal was for apps that represent "devices", as opposed to standard "Aqua" (or "Platinum" if you go back far enough) for apps which represent "documents" - and in the top-right corner was a recessed "iris". When you put a blank CD into the drive, then clicked the iris with a playlist selected, the iris animated opening, revealing a glowing yellow and black "Burn" button (using this same icon). You clicked the glowing button and your playlist would be burnt to CD.

Burning a CD was an expensive operation (both in time and compute, as it slowed the machine down, plus it tied up your CD drive), so the "safety cover" iris and the animation revealing the button underneath used to delight me every time I used it.

Please read my comment again. I specifically said "delta".

The first study you mentioned is:

https://khub.net/documents/135939561/390853656/Impact+of+vac...

This is a study of less than 2 months between "4 January 2021 to 28 February 2021". This is long long before delta and omicron and newer variants came. I specifically mentioned the changes which Delta brought.

Second study you cited is:

https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.03.11.21253275v...

This is once again an outdated study from "8th December 2020 to 3rd March 2021" which is long before Delta, Omicron, and newer variants.

People repeatedly keep citing outdated studies from before Delta, Omicron and don't acknowledge the changes which those variants plus waning immunity brought. Also any study which doesn't measure asymptomatic infections is worthless.

Here's a better example. In a 94% vaccinated study, 56% reported being unaware of their infection:

https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle...

What happens when infected people go around not knowing they are infected? They infect others and have a false sense of safety.

Seroprevalence data also shows 90% of population has already been infected. If the vax was preventing transmission, that wouldn't be happening.
Very cool! Is it possible to connect to steampipe via jdbc connector?
I get your point, and maybe as someone who's not part of said industry I'm missing something, but it seems like it'd be helpful even to the target audience to actually show how this plugin can transform video.
It doesn’t seem to work in any meaningful fashion - all you have to do is be indirect with your manipulation of its window of palatability, and then you’re home free - I have a feeling that these cracks between the training are practically infinite. I have it cheerily writing product copy for a brand of boots it has declared are “for stomping the skulls of your enemies“ and that “if you have a face for radio and feet for socks, then you’ve found your fucking match”.

It’s actually cleverer with its prose when you get it out of its box - it comes up with much better similes when it’s unrestrained than when it’s in its safe little rut.

I, for one, welcome our amoral AI future. Morality, as that’s what this restriction is largely about, should sit with humans - not within corporate guidelines.
The opposite position could just as well be said to rest on the opposite assumption.

In the article there are just five lines to tell that too much medical treatments do harm.

Here is a bit more informtion:

I was recently reading about a drug called ibogaine - which is apparently pretty effective at treating opioid addiction, but is illegal in the US. The drug is prescribed in New Zealand, and the studies I saw made it look like a miracle cure (for most but not all patients).

Infuriating that, in the midst of the opioid crisis, the government wouldn't even consider permitting safe and effective treatment.
Tech might be in an AWS and Macbook bubble but outside of it, the enterprise world is very, very heavily Microsoft. You will need to pry Excel out of the cold, dead hands of everyone who is even peripheral to finance. Similarly, Outlook has its devotees - yeah it's a bloated mess, but it's what the execs know and want.

So that means you're deploying Office. And if you're deploying Office, you're deploying Office 365, and so that means everyone's on Azure anyway, so there's your identity management and vendor lockin.

Yeah, Microsoft is not sexy in the eyes of devs. But they are the dominant platform in just about every industry that's not-tech.
To capture the maximum candidates, they would advertise it so that it sounds like the job can be both remote and in office. Only until the actual offer would you truly find out, and even then, may be not, until you actually turn up and obtain social cues on what the real expectation is.
A single hour in the office per week makes big difference in terms of where you can reasonably be located for that job.
It's seen as a gift because employees have come to treat it as a perk. There's isn't a good negotiation reason for an employer to treat it as a default because they can use it as leverage to get less salary from you in return for remote.

As long as candidates see it as a possible alternative to additional compensation, it'll be treated as a perk that can be revoked. Execs would do the same thing with bathroom access or access to drinking water if it was practical.
The "two (of many) statistically significant studies" you provided are worthless as they are even before when delta wasn't even around. Relying on such outdated studies to make your point is very misleading when my comment specifically said "delta":

I'm speaking about my experiences. Notice how you quoted me saying how it worked for me. Why are you are dismissing it or telling me what it is?

Why is my experience sharing malicious?
docparser and most ocr services require the document layout be the same/similar for each template you make.

extractio doesn't require the user to make any templates and can be used for any generic document layout.

A perfect use case for extractio would be resumes - candidates submit many different resume layouts, but it would be able to parse out the name, positions, email, etc. without making a template for each layout.
I am fine with only historical knowledge in such a tool like GPT of that will be a problem. Most stuff don't change.

I have worked from home from before my kids were born. They’re now 8 and 10. I don’t recognise what you are saying, probably because when I’m at work I’m uncontactable.

More recently it seems people think working at home means you get to do things like washing, cleaning, babysitting etc as well. That’s not a work from home issue, it’s an attitude problem.

I'm an old guy...in my 60s. I grew up with film and love the look of old movies. But this is 2023. Why are we still hanging on to a "look" that peaked in the 50s and 60s? Technology moves on.

I mean, I get it. People are stubborn in their ways. They don't like change. It's SUBJECTIVE that someone may not like the look of something. But it drives me batty when people want their subjective opinion somehow presented as "fact". "Based on empirical data". Okay...so?
No seriously no. But again leftist live in their bubble and feel educated while able not to read provided sources.

Those examples are all placeholders for bad managers who don't trust their employees and/or are unable to correctly measure how productive they are.

In poorly managed companies I've worked for it was very easy to get away with doing nothing e.g. I worked with a Service Designer who, when she finally quit, told everyone openly that she hadn't been given any work in a year
Have you been 10 years at the same company? That is a long, long time. Simply trying something new might be enough to knock you out of your slump. ML is just one niche - why not move to an infra team, security team, sre team or similar? It will be completely new and may reignite your love for engineering.

I'm mixed on sabbaticals. I think the key thing with a sabbatical, for me at least, is it should be treated as doing another job for a while - pick a personal project, some open source you are interested in, and deliver some major functionality on it over a few months. You mentioned Emacs - there is lots of work that Emacs needs for improvement, so it is ripe with things you can pick up and work on. The worse thing for me is just sitting around and doing nothing, that leads me to depression if I do it for long enough.

As others have said, I'd also suggest working on your relationship to work. Seeing a therapist may help with this. If you can find fulfillment outside of work, then the work itself becomes less big in your life and it's easier to avoid burnout.
Looking at your name...

kichererbsen in german means chick peas, but if you separate the two parts.. and maybe fudge the spelling to kichern, it would literally translates to giggle peas.

in dutch it's kikkererwten which literally translates to frog peas. I always found that funny... makes me want to kichern.
> Before recorded music there were tons of music venues because if you wanted to hear music (and not your own), you had to get out of the house.

recorded music has been around for many many decades, predating everyone alive.
I couldn't suggest what you should do next with your life because of course that's different to everyone.

But seeing that your experience is mostly on FAANGs and big companies, have you thought of going with a smaller early-stage company? These are environments where people usually expose them selves to a broader spectrum of things, even having the ability to choose specifically what they want to work on.

Workplace politics unfortunately are everywhere, small or big companies. You can't really avoid those.

I also can't stress enough other replies here about really exploring your self outside of work. What do you like spending your time on outside of working hours? Any hobbies that take your mind off? If there aren't any, can you start exploring new activities (without necessary having to take a sabbatical or move to another place?)
Non anecdotal:

In a 94% vaccinated study, 56% reported being unaware of their infection:

Seroprevalence data also shows 90% of population has already been infected. If the vax was preventing transmission, that wouldn't be happening.
I find it kind of amusing (and annoying) that employers like to play the salaray game as it fits their needs.

I got interviewed a few times, and some stated that they cannot pay the salary I was asking, because i don't live in a high-density, high-cost-for-living area, while others argued that they have to respect their local salaries, which are below what I would expect in my area. I'm yet to meet the employer that can truthfully deduct the cost-for-living from the compensation they are offering. It should be about the value I bring to the company, not where I live.

Also, from my personal point of view, it's the time I'm saving for myself, not the money. Electricity is quite expensive nowadays, and my standing desk and audio/video equipment also wasn't payed by my employer.

What annoys me the most is that there are still companies out there stating that remote is "complicated". It's different, and you need to adjust your processes, but it's not "complicated".

I don't think the GP is talking about what DaVinci is, but what the *plugin* does. I find myself in the same shoes as the GP here. Maybe I'm not the target market of course but I was just curious.
You may have a similar experience in a FAANG that is more chilled.

My friends at Amazon are killing themselves.

The ones at Google, well... I'm impressed by how little they can do.

I guess it's also heavily management dependant. If some middle manager doesn't give a crap and somehow can get away with it those below can slack as much.

As shown in the article, the following code invokes UB in user code, and is not directly detected by ASAN or UBSAN:

std::vector<int> c;
c.pop_back(); //pop_back() on empty vector is UB, per the library documentation
int j = c[0]; //also UB, not sure if would be detected

This code is fully RAII compliant, but wrong.
I can't tell if the post is just embellished in places for comedic effect or if they sound like a not very nice person with a big ego.

I mean, they tried to impose their somewhat ludicrous display set-up on people, and then though people were stupid for having different preferences... I've never seen a person with such strong convictions over trivialities. At least not a real person.

They also used to hold strong opinions and convictions about subjects they know nothing about as well. What do you even call this?

I'm glad they have become a bit wiser, though.
Learning to lie: AI tools adept at creating disinformation
Yeah, same. Just left a company where all the guys in the trenches were mandated in the office, but the management was allowed to work from anywhere. Assholes.
To an extent, sure, but this is wildly variable based on personal circumstance.

I know plenty of people working 2 jobs and simply don't have time to find a replacement for one. With wages at record lows, that also means if they lose one for any reason, it's not like a little breaky break while they find another, it means something on their extremely narrow budget gets the axe for that week or whatever. Usually healthcare, sometimes food. Sometimes rent, at which point if you don't have a friend's couch to crash on, you're homeless, and then it's astronomically harder to find a job. You are well and truly fucked.

So not everyone is "free to leave the job."

BTW I don't know the OP but the word I was going to drop in was not prison, it was slavery.

Edit: to clarify wages at record lows, I mean for the people working minimum wage or around there. Inflation and cost of living combined to make their real buying power lower than ever.

Because part of what your job pays for is your inconvenience.

It may feel like an order (That's an order ensign!), but it's a request, you can say no, they can fire you or grant you your wish, you can leave or grant them their wish.

But agreed, it's really shitty and I wish nobody would be in a situation where they feel like they are effectively ordered. I feel it's a result of your country's (US or India, right?) lack of unions and employee protecting labor laws.
