There's a lovely living computer museum in Helmond, The Netherlands.

https://www.homecomputermuseum.nl/en/#intro

A Dutch non-profit, staffed by volunteers and people in need of practical training.
Visitors to the museum get to touch and interact with most of them. I've 'adopted' a few machines there that introduced me to computers and programming as a kid (the language switch features on this site are a little glitchy, google translate is your friend). If you're in the neighborhood, it's definitely worth a visit.

Their LinkedIn page has a proper introduction in English:

https://www.linkedin.com/company/homecomputermuseum/about/

"The HomeComputerMuseum is a museum about (home)computers based in the centre of the Benelux (Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg), in the technical region of the Netherlands, close to airports like Eindhoven and Dusseldorf and easy to reach by train and car. The museum is 500m2 and has around 400 computers in stock. From the early Commodore PET2001, Altair 8800, Tandy TRS80 and Apple II all the way up to early 2000 pc's with Windows XP and Mac OS X 10.5. Since computers will break when they're not used, all computers are prepared to stay on during opening hours and ready to be touched by anyone who wants to. Even printers, modems, scanners and other additional hardware is connected and ready to use. We also have our own repair lab when something breaks. All computers are set up in a environment that's styled in the correct era. It's not a museum, it's an experience!

At least once per 3 months we do a big LAN-party where the newest computer is a Pentium 4. Meaning we do only old school gaming with games like Duke Nukem 3D, Red Alert, Wacky Wheels, Unreal Tournament and anything we fancy to do.

We are a non-profit organization that gives chances to people with autism and teaches young children how the old computers work. We strongly believe that in order to understand the future, one must know the past. That's what we're doing.

See, feel, try, play & learn!

We also love to show these old, sometimes forgotten, computers on Youtube and on social media. We need funds to keep this museum up and running and that's where you can help!

We're based in Helmond, conveniently placed between big airports (Eindhoven and Dusseldorf), easy reachable by train, enough parking places and right next to the city centre of Helmond. So make sure to visit us and consider a donation or any other form of support."
> it's usually appropriately sized for the population in all but the newest-growth places.

Hell, a lot of our municipalities have transport infrastructure designed for larger populations. Driving around Flint or Lansing is easy for the most part (Detroit proper can also handle much bigger traffic numbers but the roads will kill your car so that's not easy).

I hated driving in the PNW though. Especially Vancouver, with its refusal to allow highways.
As long as you don’t delete the old kernel, you can recover by creating a known good entry every few updates. The arch article also has an ego shell you can install that got me out of a few unbootable cases with a failed Nvidia dkms.
You may prefer that, but everyone else who has to read your code - doesn't.

Yours is an approach which is likely to ensure your code is discarded and has to be rewritten relatively quickly.
Actually I have them in my family (epi pen and all), but I've met many more people with false allergies that use them to justify disordered eating habits or something else (hilariously, I've seen someone use their allergies to try and micromanage what everyone else around them can eat, down to how their spouse's coffee is brewed).

I like those charts showing they get an AUC of 0.8 or so, my own content-based recommender gets 0.72 or so on a typical day with a very simple model, I think it could get 0.75 with mainly data-oriented tweaks. I was thinking a better model could get me into the high 70's but the fuzzy nature of the recommender problem means I am never going to get into the 90's.

I would like to see more about how they are formulating the problem, I know there is work lately in "sequential recommendation" that is focused on generating a sequence rather than scoring content items, I'd like to learn more about that.
Even though you are not really worthy of a response due to your spiteful way of expressing yourself, I can assure you that most young people don't want to live in San Fransisco or New York city. The pricing-out happening the last decade is world wide. Most people just want to work, follow the rules and have a chance to a dignified life with their own home and family.

> Live somewhere cheaper and stop complaining

This is how you eradicate civil society, if working people are priced out of where they were born. But it happens, and it has happened historically. Millions left Europe for America. Millions will leave "cemetery cities" where young people cannot afford to live. I've seen such places and know how they are. The old people there hate the younger generation, even though most young people have moved out and the few teens there are itching to get the hell out as well.
This. The preferences are obviously driven by the widespread subsidies provided to suburban living. Take that away and those preferences will shift rapidly.
New buyers often have the ability to write off the purchase which gives them a substantial discount.
It really, really is that simple and anyone making the argument that it isn't either hasn't thought this through, has never actually looked at the data, or is outright maliciously lying about it.

[This chart on it's own with no further context is enough to disprove any argument anyone may have that attempts to claim housing prices aren't solved by building more housing](https://twitter.com/JeremiahDJohns/status/161535236504076697...)

It's really that simple.
In my opinion that average household is still a winner in long term as eventually rates will drop, average earnings will go up and the loan will already be devalued.
> left leaning

What US calls center left much of world calls center right.

Not sure about labeling the global bell curve of written material as "bias" since, almost by definition, the LLM is unbiased, being a compression of global view -- so accusations of bias against probabilistic answers from the corpus would actually telling us about the bias of the beholder.
That is different than "may contain".

There's two conflicting laws here - one says you MUST label if you have allergens (this one allows the "may or may not contain the devil's seeds") and another says you cannot imply or state your product has something it does not have (this appears to be the one banning "may or may not").
I think people would prefer to watch the 1:45 Youtube video that shows in wobbly greenish mobile phone video exactly which bolt you need to remove to get the thing apart and how, than a slick 10:07 video shot in 4k with lots of "don't forget to like share and subscribe" that only mentions it for about a second.

Your book sounds kind of like that.
> You can sell your stocks to someone else. The company doesn't have to be the one to buy it.

But that defeats the purpose. The company buys back stock not to hold it, but to dissolve it and drive up the value of remaining shares mathematically.
We're living in the second Gilded Age.

>Political corruption was rampant, as business leaders spent significant amounts of money ensuring that government did not regulate the activities of big business—and they more often than not got what they wanted. Such corruption was so commonplace that in 1868 the New York state legislature legalized such bribery.

Historian Howard Zinn argues that the U.S. government was acting exactly as Karl Marx described capitalist states: "pretending neutrality to maintain order, but serving the interests of the rich". Historian Mark Wahlgren Summers calls it, "The Era of Good Stealings," noting how machine politicians used "padded expenses, lucrative contracts, outright embezzlements, and illegal bond issues.

I know many companies stuck with multi year leases on offices that they are no longer using anywhere close to the level as when they got those leases pre-covid. I'm expecting a lot of companies will cut back on their leasing cost by a lot as soon as they can.

This is in Berlin btw. There are still new office buildings being built right now. I'd say, a lot of those projects are going to have some financial challenges. A lot of that construction was planned and financed before covid and the construction work just seems to go ahead here on automatic pilot.

One of the bigger fiasco's in Berlin on this front is a new sky scraper on the Alexander Platz (near the famous big tv tower) that was supposed to become the tallest building in Berlin (except for that tv tower). They have been working on the foundations for this for some time. But since the financial backers of this were Russian, it is doubtful the project will ever be completed and there seems to be not a lot happening on that project recently. And even if it is built, there is already plenty of available office space in existing buildings. https://berlinspectator.com/2022/07/25/berlin-alexander-towe...

There is of course a housing shortage. I'd say a lot of the empty offices are going to eventually be converted for housing. But not before there is a little real estate massacre for current building owners and investors. Office rents should be trending down at this point.
hard to find commercially in the US but we tend to call them "crabapples" (many crabapples are too small or only suitable for juicing but some are large enough for culinary use), or you can look for some cider homebrewing enthusiasts who may know how to source tart/dry apples in your area.
I used to work in reputation management in the healthcare space, and it was soul-crushing. Doctors who had killed patients through negligence or malpractice in other states and moved to get licensed would hire us to create a flood of content to push down sites that ranked in Google that showed the judgment against them. After doing that for a few years, I left because I was so burnt out. I'll never make that kind of moral compromise with myself again.
This was a big mistake on his part -- assuming he wished for museum to continue. He had a number of months after the diagnosis to make these decisions so they wouldn't be left to others.
The time to miss having a car is on warm summer afternoons and evenings, when one can just drive and drive and stop and explore and drive some more and just soak it all in.

Other times? Meh.
More love for innersource collaboration and enterprise fork policies
I think the permissible "may contain" is the "this product was produced in a facility that also handles tree nuts" kind of warning, which is not technically an ingredient.
Unfortunately it's an abuse of terminology that "stuck" a long time ago, and I think the ship has sailed for fixing that (at least in the image processing community). These sort of techniques were named in reference to more principled techniques involving multiple measurements and precise control of imaging systems, allowing you to estimate higher resolutions than your sensor could achieve.
"May contain x" is not part of the ingredients list, though. An ingredient is something intentionally in the product. The warning is just telling you that there's a chance that x accidentally got in.
For what it's worth, we developers (I'm a NASA contractor who maintains a small NASA open source project) feel the same way! Our lawyers not so much. It's a very slow process to change the default, but at least a couple of projects have managed to release under Apache instead of NOSA.
It’s interesting that COVID’s symptoms, including long Covid, are entirely the human bodies own doing. It’s all inflammatory. Long Covid is at least in part a demonstration of the connection between inflammatory pathways and metabolism. Common infection have been giving people CFS forever but finally the skeptics have been forced to shut up with Covid.

The solution to Covid will come through research on long Covid and other research on inflammation and metabolism — the reason that diabetes, obesity etc corrrlate so well with poor Covid outcomes is because those things as well as inflammation and other fundamental pathways and mechanisms are being messed up by something. When you diet and exercise, all of the above including Covid outcomes improve. That’s why kids are the least impacted — because they are the healthiest. These problems get worse with age. Once we learn how to fix whatever is at the top of the diabetes, obesity, inflammation pyramid we will make ourselves able to coexist with the virus. Besides somehow eradicating the virus, this is the only solution. It will also mean people will have very few heart attacks and cancer should be massively reduced as well. We have a lot to look forward to.

But it’s important to remember, this isn’t a Covid problem. It’s really an extension of the diabetes/obesity epidemic. The virus itself doesn’t hurt you.
If you don't care about size then look online for washing machines marketed to college kids and thusly dorm rooms and RV's. They are 120V, low power usage, low water usage though most are top loading that I have found, no computer or internet of things. I went that route and was surprised they are more durable and longer lasting than I expected. I assumed incorrectly that being meant for college/RV use they would be throw-away devices. They are much less expensive than the older traditional machines and much easier to move around. They are cheap enough one could even buy a spare machine or plug in the spare to optionally increase capacity.

The only downside is the inability to wash really big items like king/cali-king sized comforters. Those would have to be taken to a friends house or a commercial service or just washed old-school in the bathtub.

[Edit] One additional downside is they are meant to be connected to a sink, though super easy with a cheap adapter to use existing hose hook-ups. The actual downside is having to either choose between hot or cold water if using existing washing machine hoop-ups, or make your own make-shift combiner adapter that can handle the hot water. RV supply stores have these.
Are you sure? Mother's know that having "honors students" share space in a class with other students is supposed to help the other students. I wouldn't be surprised at all if the black community absolutely asked for this.
The issue with this argument is that it could, just as well, be used to force people to wear bubble wrap instead of clothes to avoid falls. The question is how much we're willing to sacrifice for safety. Fortunately, most people aren't willing to go as far as suggested.
Law and Enforcement of it requires the mandate of the people.
The mandate of the people seems breaking apart from the left and right in America.

At some point I suspect "jury nullification" or worse will go mainstream.
I don't understand why people are so against financing. Sure, buying a new car isn't wise, but even now with 5-6% interest rates you're likely still coming out ahead if you finance a car and invest the rest.

It's like a credit card. They are easily misused, but there's not really a downside if you use them responsibly.
It would be the same result. A human still has to wait for the lib builds to finish and then take action. This way there are two fully automated steps, with one human wait step in between them.
Again, that's a political choice, not a housing crisis.
To add to the list of still active computer museums: Computer Museum of America (CMoA). As of a few years ago they were an integral part of MAGFest's Museum exhibit and it's really awesome to sit down and play games on a 50 year old machine.

I wish I'd been more paranoid too. I got side effects from vaccination that I was forced to take and that I didn't need at all because I had covid before.
I'm in a medical profession that delivers services to the autistic community. Never in our training did we learn that Fragile X is a cause of autism, let alone the primary cause.

I've never delivered services to a client that had a diagnosis of both fragile x and autism.

Most autism clients that I see are severely disabled and not fragile x. Every once in a while we get an HFA client. Again, no fragile x. The Asperger's individuals that I come across in the clinic will tend to be clinical professionals, not clients. They are never in for services. But they aren't common either.
That sounds suspiciously like an impossible standard to meet in a factory setting.
Possibly, but you'd need some big evidence for that, it would need to be a huge population that was hidden from the world in order to make up for the difference. Population stats are pretty hard to hide, so "disappeared" people would count towards the incarceration stats

This is also compared to every other country, so to explain the discrepancy then it would have to be something every country does more than the US
Recently we've started using io_uring for disk access in QuestDB. So far, it's being used in CSV import, but we'd like to expand it to network and other disk access use cases. Apart from the performance boost, the beauty of io_uring is that it allows one to build an event loop on a single I/O multiplexing mechanism. No need to build an ugly combination of epoll and AIO or anything like that - it supports networking, disk access, user events (eventfd), and timers (and not only).
I'm quite fond of Pixel Dungeon. It's quite simplistic compared to NetHack but it's good fun (if you like dying early and often) and looks nice. And, bonus, it's GPL3-licensed and hasn't seen an update since 2015, so not only are there a bunch of really creative forks out there, but they're also open source.
Except now Florida is fighting with the College Board over the contents of some AP classes they’re offering.

“Woke” and “Anti-Woke” are two sides of the same idiotic coin—you won’t be reading classics in either place. Neither side wants you to actually learn how to think for yourself, they both just want adherence to their ideology.
Some people do think like this yes. See: people who want SS and Medicare burned to the ground because they’re already rich and don’t need it.
SF managed to delay it for 8 years until the next review with lots and lots of promises, but if it doesn't actually manage to build more units, builders remedy is coming for SF in 2030.
> AirTag competitor Tile today announced a new Anti-Theft Mode for Tile tracking devices, which is designed to make Tile accessories undetectable by the anti-stalking Scan and Secure feature.

You too can use our product for stalking for the low, low price of $1,000,000?
Unfortunately a number of those APIs are still not available on iOS and have seen little to no traction[1]

OTOH, DSM, govt pages etc focus only on small choldren, do not mention things like shutdown/meltdown at all etc. If one has grown up in a country, where upper end of the spectrum did not officially exist (eg USSR) those tiktoks are, like, only way to learn about these concepts.
When it comes to cost, the article is wrong. What you do is get a quote from all the CDNs (akamai, fastly, cloudfront) and talk to your AM in the CDN you want about matching the other guy(s).

Our CF cost is .02/GB, no region delta, no request costs, for like a $2k commitment a month.
Not to mention that if you do decide on an old and affordable car, it's offset by the price of its constant repairs and the anxiety that it could break down again at any moment.
Sadly that's categorically to allowed. I don't even have admin permissions on the repo, and I'm not allowed to give any permissions whatsoever to anyone outside of NASA.
>When I went to school in one of those states it was pretty obvious that the honors classes were not more rigorous

When I went to school in one of those states, and taught in one of those states, it was pretty obvious that the honors/AP classes most definitely were more rigorous, and that is supported by the evidence of performance of these students in tests and college success.

>but just a way to effectively continue segregation long after it had been made illegal.

Ah yes, the classrooms with an overrepresention of Jews and Asians is a White supremacist ploy.

>There was a slight complicating factor of class but even still it was very clear what was happening. The white children of farmers (who in rural areas are the upper class)

The vast, vast majority of of White farmers in these states are at or below the poverty line. They are by no means "upper class".

>the black and hispanic kids, along with most of the children of farm laborers were in the non-honors classes.

This holds true anywhere in the US, even in the darkest blue areas of NYC and SF.

>Having grown up in an environment like this I'm not so foolish as to take the leaders of those states or the general culture war right at face value.

Definitely agree here about those in the "woke" areas.

>They want segregation again and this is the closest they can get.

This is what wokeism is calling for, safe spaces and segregation for BIPOCs.

>You don't have to buy into it either.

The redder states definitely are not.
Doesn't seem that way. Most of these were engineers - https://www.crn.com/news/cloud/digitalocean-layoffs-engineer...
People are at an elevated risk of overdose after getting out of prison, they are forced to stop cold turkey and when they get out they don’t have the same tolerance as they used to so they end up misjudging the dose.

The west coast is more lenient on drug use, im guessing that leads to fewer overdoses as a result.
But organizations should be, at least I'm on that camp.

Edit: Well actually, I can think of some orgs. that should be polarized by nature, like those meant to promote change. But a foundation that "works to ensure the internet remains a public resource that is open and accessible to us all" should be quite neutral on all others topics beyond that.
I wonder about that, might be that having specialized display controller on say OLED display could've been enough ?

You could then have the controller artifically drive it line by line instead refreshing whole screen
It was my impression lobbyists usually write the bills themselves. I don't know if this is how it's always done, but my company recently worked with lobbyists and a senators assistant and the lobbyists wrote a paragraph that, once approved by this assistant, went straight into the appropriations bill. Perfect example of pay to play.
What is it about tech communities that this sort of clarification needs to be made. It's like if someone were to say "okay, I'll just hang out here, I'm not going anywhere" and someone were to respond "technically, that depends on your frame of reference. we're all orbiting the sun and therefore we are going somewhere".

At this point everyone knows the memes about CSI Enhance, the Xerox compression image hallucinations, blah blah. Must we constantly revisit subjects at a grade-school level?

Not everything must scale to stay relevant.
Giving people who have a syndrome which causes poor social skills and frequently leaves it's victims bullied the name "assburgers" syndrome was about as unfortunate as it got for these people. As someone who had a diagnosis for Asperger's, I'm extremely happy to see the name changed.
