Is your suggestion property taxes could go to zero without an impact on schools?

Regardless, it’s besides the point. The point is there are different potential mechanisms for raising money that don’t have the same second and third order effects of property taxes.
There is the mikrobus, grove, and qwiic connectors, all of which will be GPIO, I2C and likely (for Mikrobus) SPI as well.

The reason the SoC says "up to 170" as they are multiplexed with the ethernet, display and camera interfaces, so since this board has all 3 there are likely not many GPIO actually left to pin out
>at the price of slowly giving way to a new, immigrant population.

What's wrong with immigrants? My father was an immigrant. My mother's parents were immigrants. Babies are "immigrants" from someone's womb.

I'd note that all humans are immigrants to every place except Africa.

Further, I'd ask why you care where the person (or their parents) who installs the side view mirror on your car at the factory comes from? What practical difference does that make in your life?

Well, except for being able to get decent Pho[0], quality bagels[1], pizza[2], pasta[3] and all manner of other stuff that immigrants brought/bring to this country. Making our culture richer and more interesting.

That would explain the scenario when Metrist says something is down but the actual service doesn't say it, because it's manually updated.

But what about the reverse? In what scenario would the platform say something is down but Metrist says it's up? Metrist is fully automated as I understand it, so it should detect it faster and reliable than their manually updated status pages, right?

> Tokenizing by storing strings in a vector is almost never what you want for high performance code, as it will result in an allocation for each token.

not quite, std::string can store <=22 character strings without needing to allocate (in 64 bit mode at least) (look up short string optimization), 22 characters is actually quite a lot in the context of tokenization, so its not a given that switching to string views would be an improvement here

Apple's plan to saturate all ages with iPhone, iPad and Mac is working
I haven't seen it in years but the cause is actually the limitations of float precision and/or the way the developer has setup the world/view matrices.

eg. Your shaders operate on float16 precision (common in the D3D9 days) on a screen with high enough resolution. The boundary pixels at the diagonal now can't fit into the precision of a float16 cleanly.

First grade is looking pretty far back for this family, but here's what I did:

Big-picture foreach(child):

- Assess their personality as best I can (I was trained on this; it helped particularly to the degree that my kids aren't clones of me and prioritize different functional perspectives)

- Think about how coder/not coder outcomes might vary based on their inner personality dynamics

- Adjust expectations to meet them in the middle rather than "hey, you'll be a coder!"

Little-picture foreach(day):

- Observe their natural coding style when I can. For example, two of my kids code just by thinking, it's how they think. So they get natural coding practice by playing games, for example.

- Develop an exercise. Let's say I decide they could use some exposure to formal coding style. Maybe I'll write a program and break it, or write one and have them modify it. "This alarm program plays a bell called 'bell.wav'. Can you make it play the fart sound here, fart.wav?"

- Look at their response. Did they laugh? This helps. Did they act pressured, annoyed, bored? This is also helpful to know. I want to know where their energy is pointing, so to speak.

Specific programs I've used:

- System scripting languages like bash, ABS, Perl

- Coding games like Lightbot

- Scratch

Things I would never do, after going through all that:

- Treat coding as a skill they'll definitely need to know (I no longer believe in this and in any case, scheduling is a more likely-helpful precursor to formal coding)

- Let other coding-related techniques lose emphasis: Physical coding (improvising tools with wire; whittling tools; improvising art tools), spiritual coding (chaining socio-motivational techniques for example)

- Not ask them first what they wanna do

Just my 2c though. Hope that helps!
The best "look up" of tokens is to just lex them given an offset into the source file. No need to have a permanent token storage. It's a waste of space.
I don’t know what the alternative is, unless we find a completely different funding scheme. While I do feel for seniors who get priced out of their homes, that feeling it mitigated somewhat knowing they are in that situation because they are sitting on a large asset. If we want to treat housing as an “investment” we have to take the good with the bad.
>The solution is to allow the user to easily and in real-time access and control (port, delete) all of their data or data about them that a company holds.

You won't get an argument about that from me.

But I'd say that not collecting such information in the first place (which will require reversing a variety of perverse incentives) is the best solution.

I remember when I volunteered at the little local radio station, that it was always working hard to soundproof booths, and putting carpet on the walls for acoustics, and scraping money together for decent microphones. Nowadays, when seeing webcasts of some radio shows, I'm surprised about the flimsy mics, sometimes headset-mics, they're using, and the sort of environments they do live shows from, without seemingly giving away much in terms of audio quality (for speech, announcements, that is). I get they're all behind sound processors, but still...

Neither of the mentioned China/Russia/Turkey allow only state-controlled apps. They allow everything, but ban unwanted or noncompliant ones.

What does state control look like in your head? Putin sending an email “please disregard your manager’s orders and do this instead”? Such thing has never existed because it is physically impossible to micromanage thousands of companies.

State control is monetary handouts or fines, bans and coercion under a threat of those.

Kinda like you’re staring directly at state control and can’t recognize what you’re looking at.

I am also not sure it’s so simple; the tools are so much more powerful than I would have believed just a couple years ago. But there’s value and then there’s perceived value; the fact that there’s so much nontechnical interest is perhaps suspect.
That's just an implementation detail. Before COVID, some countries would hand out various visitor visas to most travelers at the border, some require arranging them in advance, almost all differ in their requirements based which country's passport you hold, and based on which kind of reciprocity agreements they have with their counterpart.
Poor word choice on my behalf. Drift was meant in terms of sync between different channels or parallel processing paths and in reference to GP. Guitar effects (generally single channel, sequentially processed) bypass that.

That 10ms benchmark is a good one though. At that time window you've reached a full wavelength at 100Hz and it's right about the point where well practiced humans (e.g. musicians) will begin to perceive delay. It's a fascinating intersection between physics/engineering and psychology as signal latencies make the jump from being perceived as timbre to delay.
Doesn't the article suggest the opposite. If populations are declining in untouched forests far from human activity, wouldn't that be evidence that human activity is not the cause of population decline
Yes, the benchmark is not scientific or correct or ...

Yet, what crypto was supposed to do already exists in a regulated environment.

I know lots of software engineers and companies that use Wise to get paid / pay employees and contractors internationally with no issues there at all.

So crypto is still not needed here at all.

I always use test:

- it looks like every other thing in sh (`[` is the outlier)

- it prevents confusion like putting `&&` inside the `[ ... ]` brackets (understandable that `[` works that way if you think about it, but it’s another way it’s an outlier)

- mildly discourages use of one particular bash-ism, `[[`, as it works slightly differently, and I prefer POSIX sh unless there is a good justification

- it doesn’t require a closing `]`

I don’t use it for what I think you mean by portability, that is, because `test` exists whereas `[` does not, or anything like that.

Having a solar array on your roof and some battery storage in house makes even a normal off-the-shelf laptop last for years, while doing a lot more practical workloads for the user.

Attention Profiling Markup Language (APML)
Vector reallocations result in an average of one* move (which yes, is effectively a copy for types like string_view) per element under normal operation. If you're concerned about that single copy (primarily: if profiling has demonstrated that this is a real bottleneck), and you know the target size a priori, then yes, by all means, use reserve.

Just be warned that if you do it wrong, you can literally make your program exponentially slower. And, that it's less imperative to do so now than it was 15 years ago.

(I'm personally much less concerned about the cost of copying 16B from a string_view, than I am about copying 24B + arbitrary amounts of underlying storage from a string.)

* Yes, I know, elements at the beginning of the vector will be moved/copied more often than elements at the end.

The standard with dog bites is “reasonable precautions” to prevent them, thus a good fence that failed because it was hit by a meteor could be a perfectly reasonable defense. People don’t build structures with rocks falling from the sky in mind. On the other hand a fence the dog can open or climb over is not, which of course depends on the dog.

I suspect the same would be considered for computer security. Hacker News and a Bank have very different bars for what’s reasonable.

You know, this is true. I was a bit too dismissive about it because I haven't done a lot of deploying models myself. I was making the assumption that it was similar to many other services, but even looking at pricing for managed GPUs on most instances shows me that's clearly not the case.
Ooh interesting! Similar to React Native in that it’s a JS interface to native components, didn’t know about this, worth a look!
Sure, you could charge people directly for services.

> it's absolutely not the case that all lanes of a hardware thread (warp / wavefront) have to come from the same triangle. That would be insanely inefficient

I am no GPU expert, but I performed some experiments a while ago indicating that this is in fact how it works, at least on nvidia.

I would expect it simplifies the fragment processing pipeline to have all the interpolants come from the same triangle. Another factor that comes to mind is that, due to the 2x2 quad-padding, you would end up with multiple shader executions corresponding to the same pixel location, coming from different triangles; that would probably involve complicated bookkeeping. Especially given MSAA.
They should order a property tax reduction. It’s getting clear in cities like Ithaca that landlords pass high property taxes onto tenants quite directly.

For that matter, make it easier to evict people. I just started to the process to get a tenant out (who lives in the other house on our farm) who has not paid the rent and attempted to extort us. It could be six whole months before he’s gone. The tenant in the other unit has to live with him next door and between ourselves, that tenant and the next tenant we have to make up for what the deadbeat didn’t pay. Lower this expense and landlords can afford to lower the rent.

In our area we also have an irresponsible tenant’s rights group that supported a group of people who insisted that they could live for free no matter what and acted as if Habitat for Humanity (their landlord) was an evil NGO. They don’t get that with our high property taxes we are paying for the health care of the indigent in NY and they oughta just give us a break.

Unfortunately a lot of tenants mistook the eviction moratorium that we had for COVID-19 for a rent moratorium and it is coming due for those people, but landlords didn’t get any property tax moratorium.

Nashville has been experiencing rapid population growth. How do reconcile that with your claim that the governmental situation is dire?
5% interest rates aren't too bad. It's when they reach 20% that the SHF.

Been there once already, never want to repeat that situation. But it looks like that's where we're headed.

In times of difficulty, get rid of any debt that you have. Eat out your freezer, eat out your cupboards, but drop that debt as much as possible. Especially credit-card debt above all others. Pay off the high-interest rates cards first, or use the low -interest rates ones to reduce your high-interest rates ones faster.

Credit-cards are killers. Just wave that card, and you're all set. Bullshit.

Give yourself a small allowance. Get it in cash. Once that allowance is gone, you can't spend any more till the next allowance time. You'll soon learn where all your cash is evaporating from. The rest of your weekly income goes straight off the credit-card. Hide the credit-card in back of the cupboard, away from your wallet.

I want to want a Tesla, but I value build quality and reliability too much. At this point I am just waiting for other car manufacturers to catch up a bit more on electric vehicles. At that point what does a Tesla really offer? At some point they need to evolve their ethos if they want to keep selling cars.
And for pretty good reason, at least it seems to me. Doing business with physical currency is not just objectively worse than digital transactions under most circumstances, it’s also increasingly untenable for more and more of life.

Banking services basically are so successful they became a necessity for the vast majority of people who can access them—you have to have money storage, as a prerequisite to moving money you can’t or don’t wish to store. I can’t think of a reason I should pay a bank for the privilege of access to paying some of my own money to another party.

On the other hand, I think this is just as good an argument that the kind of banking I’m describing should be a public good rather than a part of the services provided by investment firms. I even think there’s fairly good precedent for that argument, albeit at a drastically larger scale and with an unfortunately storied history of fraud and abuse.

I'd love to use Elm, but I'm completely uninterested in building off something where low-level hacks are impossible.

For example, I recently wrote a react component that diffs it's new state against the previous state and then calls an imperative map API to bring it into alignment. Ideal, no. But I'm not going to wait for the compiler devs to do something perfect before I write this app.
