That's where TDD falls down, iin fact. In TDD you first write a black-box test which fails, and then make it pass by fiddling with the interior of the white box. So, good, you then have a nice white-box test. The problem is with the refactoring step. Refactoring keeps the tests working, but some of them turn into blackbox tests which no longer relate to the internals.

Like say you develop a function by adding cases, TDD style. Then you see there is a generality there and refactor so the individual cases go away. The tests probing those cases still have validity, but no value.
The only thing more inefficient than a purely governmental organization is a private company providing services to the government. There seems to be a persistent belief amonst citizens that governmental services would make them more efficient, more responsive to customers, etc, but following the money suggests different motivations.

This might be the worst write up I've ever read. You don't have a single graph or metric to support any of your theory's. It reads like a rambling of lightly connected ideas intermixed with a poor understanding of how the internet works.
Fun fact that has little to do with butter. The Disney name is a kind of anglicised contraction of d'Isigny (literally: from Isigny) which was the origin of some of Roy and Walt Disney ancestors. That part of the family first moved to a small village in Lincolnshire called Norton Disney.
That is awesome! I've had an inkling of an idea similar to that for years, but definitely not so well thought through.

Is there any place you have more info on this? I'm especially interested in the genetic algorithm.
Yeah, it's a sad mess. I used to work at sfdc in the experience cloud, my team didn't own the guest user stuff directly but it and other permissions-related issues were always ongoing problems we'd have to work around anyway, or try to find better solutions for given our limited ability to change things (long history from the Sitemasher acquisition and integration), or help various owning teams fix their own broken stuff (articles were always "fun" and special especially when it came to sitemaps). Even collaborated with dedicated security folks to put together better info on securing a community (now 'digital experience' or whatever). I've thought if I needed some cash I could perhaps join a firm like yours and contribute some value quickly knowing how the sausage is made, but to be honest I'd rather forget about it all...
You get 1005 requests for a file. They are all real requests. You simply send back the data.

No, it's not a religious view. It may be because I'm a human and care deeply about humans. I care nothing about machines. They're just machines.
I think the accepted view is that persecution and diaspora pushed Jews into industries like finance that lead to wealth accumulation.

However, I personally don't think that the persecution would be as severe if Jews did not have such an insular culture, organized around the Torah and tradition.

Also, literacy and scholarship is promoted in Jewish culture due to the promotion of reading and debating the Torah and Talmud. This could have helped direct the results of their persecution. Compare the Jewish people to other persecuted peoples such as the gypsies.

I am no sociologist, but I think at the very least we can agree that outcomes result from very complex interactions of culture, geography, history, language, religion, etc.
What would be the particular difficulty with intrusive linked lists?
Works very well in my experience. I never get unwanted ads. The only time this is mildly annoying is during election time. Parties usually distribute flyers/pamphlets with their ideas (which are otherwise known, but still interesting to compare to each other).
> If it's about being quality, why only for men though?

That's not what I said.

While what you think I said is not a good look, neither is a white man trying to dictate what women wear. The elastic jeans thing is a ship that sailed a long time ago.

Also if you’ve ever shopped with women, the amount of effort that goes into finding a pair that fit at all is appalling. Elastic gives you a fudge factor to buy pants that don’t actually fit but do.
Mine came with a manual in German and some hardly readable photocopy of a translation written on a typewriter. That was a steep learning curve for a kid. Fortunately there were a lot of young and older folks who shared knowledge, engaged into demo scene or just played games. Later on I got a couple books and subscribed to the C&A magazine which helped me a lot with diving into graphics programming, extension ports, SID, etc.

The best part about C64 was it immediately booted into a Basic prompt that invited you to experiment with the hardware, like typing these magic POKE commands to set screen and text colors.

Agree on the quote. I love that our house is bounded on three sides by 100 acres of undeveloped wilderness in Western NJ. In a two minute walk I can get away from houses, see the mountain park across the valley, hear the coyotes and owls, maybe spot a fox. At night, the stars are bright because we have no street lights here.

Humanity can intrude, but even that can be sounds from a bygone era, like the steam train blowing its whistle as it’s leaving the New Hope station across the Delaware from us. There are few sounds more warming than a train whistle echoing off of valleys.

By comparison it takes some getting used to driving into even moderate suburbs.
As your wikipedia link shows, people commonly describe as "factory farm" anything from places where animals go indoor in the winter all the way to places where the animals have no space to move. Or places that create a lot of sessile animals are placed. Or places where animals are gathered to eat. Or places engineered to be comfortable for animals that don't move a lot.

And that is only if you stay within the reasonable people. Almost everybody with an impulsion to talk about this subject uses unreasonable definitions. How is a single name that applies to all that still meaningful?

I sort of agree with this, but it assumes that the pitch deck impacts a critical outcome for these businesses.

For example, sometimes in my line of work a prosecutor reads a mitigation report (pitch deck) and offers a good plea bargain because they learned something that moved them. But there are other times that a prosecutor wants to make a better offer and wants a little administrative cover. They might text me, "Send me some mitigation. Sooner is better, nothing fancy." Those are the cases with the best outcomes, but not really the best "pitch decks."
Thanks for the flashbacks.

Probably because it takes fractions of a cent to solve those grainy distorted captchas?

Whereas its not so trivial to get an extra IP address, extra computer, etc.

A one-time upload fee could work with widespread expectations about how to entrust the money to long-term preservation, and how to report that transparently.

Literally the first sentence of their rebuttal admits it's all performative:

At the time of Barack's birth, of course, Ann Dunham was only 18 years old and had lived her entire life in the US.

I think at this point we all have to acknowledge the retarded genius of Donald Trump, the way he always got people to talk about what he wanted them to talk about. Discussions like this legitimize false statements, and were part of what legitimized Trump himself.
Being a cop in Germany is much easier and less risky job than in US, because they have 50% more cops per capita while having something like 15% the crime rate of US. This means that, as a very rough estimate, there is something like 16 times more crimes per cop in US than in Germany. This is made even worse by things like US criminal being much more insane and erratic than German ones (Germany has a more collectivist, order-oriented culture, and will institutionalize miscreants much faster and for much less serious offenses than US will), and case overload forcing US cops to focus on the worst cases and worst offenders first.

For this reason, more people in Germany will put up with strict credential requirements and low pay than in US. To make police force more professional in the US, we first need to stop most crime, and for that, we need to hire a lot of police (to bring the crimes-per-cop ratio closer to low crime countries), and massively increase incarceration of repeat offenders, who are responsible for the bulk of the crime. It will be extremely hard to both hire more police and also to make standards higher: you’ll end up with highly professional cops who are too busy to help you unless you’re being actively murdered.
I actually tested this at one point with GPT-3.5 just by finding spam and non spam comments on a series of Mr Beast videos and, yeah, it was pretty great at it. Even ones that I wasn't 100% sure about it echoed that but would lean one way or another. I asked for outputs like Confidence score|Spam/Not Spam|Explanation and never saw it mark a comment that I'd consider genuine as spam and vice versa.

Obviously this has a selection bias because I had to choose the inputs but there were some that said things like "I ate a ghost pepper on my channel" and stuff that were clearly spam but, to someone not aware that kind of thing is trying to bait you into looking at their channel, it'd appear as possibly just genuine. Heck it may have been typed by a human who owns the channel but is still spam. GPT got it.

I tested this after the video came out a while back from one of the larger channels pleading for Google/YouTube to do something about all the spam comments and the general consensus seemed to be there was "just nothing they could do". Testing this lead me to believe they just don't want to do anything because if it's simple enough that some rando in his house can craft a prompt and get some examples to test in an hour or 2 then a multi-billion dollar company should be able to do SOMETHING.

All the marketing for iOS and Android talked about a computer in your pocket allowing for all kinds of creation. Then they locked everything down to the point until there's no computer left, just a $1000 passive consumption machine with a nice camera. Actual computer-phones like the full-Linux Nokia N900 failed. The selfie machines won.

Well, I’m with you, but you are not among friends on this forum. There are a lot of folks who are pretty dang happy with that “engineer” title. And they will protect it with their downvotes.
> . I'm perfectly happy, environmentally, if we have to run natural gas plants two weeks a year but it means that we get to 80 or 90% clean energy a decade or two faster than Plan B.

Natural gas isn't the only way to avoid plan B (assuming that refers to giving up on controlling global heating).

In CA, natural gas peakers emit 60M metric tons of CO2 per year (out of a statewide 420M metric tons), so a significant portion. Much of the non-peaker C02 is also natural gas based.

In addition, as more natural gas in baseload gets supplanted by renewable and storage and maybe small modular nuclear, the utilization of natural gas will drop, resulting in that generation becoming stranded assets (similar to what is happening to coal now).
In my mind the apps most similar to DeepNotes are Heptabase, Obsidian, Roam Research, and Notion. Maybe put Miro, Whimsical and Clover in that list.

Comparing against these I would say the main differences are security, user-designed navigation, spatiality and simplicity:

- Security (and privacy): As far as I know, none of the apps above have end-to-end encryption like DeepNotes. DeepNotes is more fitting for you if you value security and privacy.

- User-designed navigation: As far as I know, all these apps lock your pages into a tree index structure for page navigation. In DeepNotes the user creates their own page navigation by placing links to pages in 2D instead of organizing their pages in a tree structure.

- Spatiality: This is the ability to move notes in 2D. This is one important defining feature which some of these apps don't have. At least the most popular, Notion, doesn't. Obsidian recently added a canvas feature though.

- Simplicity: DeepNotes is just notes and arrows inside linkable pages. Looking at Heptabase and Notion, for example, they keep adding features like databases, PDF file reading, and AI integration that make the app more complex, and the app becomes bloated.
A bigger problem is getting a feed to your house that can handle your hot water heater, stove, washing machine, and electric car charging all at once. That's rather impractical in some areas, so there is some work to coordinate between the appliances so they can share a smaller feed. The way some stoves are participating is that they charge a battery at relatively low current all the time, and then cook from the battery at high current when the half-hour a day that you cook comes. That way you don't need a special circuit, and can cook while your hot water heater or washing machine is running. The added benefit is that your stove is now a UPS basically, so you can cook while the power's out. (I believe some can share power with other appliances, i.e. keep your refrigerator running for a while.)

I have a gas range and it doesn't work when the electricity is off. If that's your contingency plan, check that a safety valve doesn't close when power is lost.
Stay on topic champ.

rayiner's comment is that NPR told him "the possibility of gas stoves being banned was fake outrage".

Whether or not gas stoves _should_ be banned is irrelevant. NPR clearly stated that they could become banned and that they don't know if they will.
One of the best decisions I ever made. It wasn't any one reason that convinced me but several. Like a braid. Not an easy decision nor without consequences, but hard to imagine life before or that it could be any other way. For me, it's part of the life examined. If you're curious at all, try it out. Don't worry about purity or get stuck in binary thinking. Just listen to your intuition.
My purpose is to sit while AI takes care of everything and keeps me happy. I want to live in the matrix where I have 30 hot model wives and not know any better. The simulation of course will make me a chad and emperor of the world. That's my purpose.
> The problem with your theory is that the disparate impact criteria in Griggs creates exactly the same burden for college degree requirements as for IQ tests. (And, secondarily, that that burden for IQ tests is low enough that if they were as suited for purpose as your argument suggests, it would be routinely and easily met.)

A lot of business activity is guided by risk-management decisions that try to minimize the likelihood of dumb and costly lawsuits. An example is companies not wanting to write down feedback for job applicants that are rejected. We all know it's a shitty and dehumanizing practice to not give some feedback and encouragement, but companies can't be human because that creates a possible risk.

My response to what you said above is that no employer would face the risk of a lawsuit for trying to hire college graduates, so this system is 100% safe and desirable for them. In fact, this college-based system works great for employers because their employees are now addled with college debt so employees might feel a bit more cautious about risking their jobs to stand up and challenge working conditions. So I guess most existing employers aren't heavily incentivized to change this system too much.
To me, a work of art or a story created by a human will always have more value than something churned out by a machine.

The naive routing complexity is quadratic, yes. GPS routing is also quadratic. So is IP routing. But practical implementations use heuristics to decrease that complexity. In practice, you just need a good enough path, not the theoretically optimal path. The internet and lightning are still working fine as we speak.

> It's literally down 60% from a year ago

Bitcoin's current MVRV is 1.457[1], meaning the average holder current has a 45.7% profit. I guess if you cherry pick a high and low price you can imagine some losses, but anyone could cherry-pick numbers in the other direction too.

The 45% profit is nice, but for those living paycheck to paycheck it unfortunately isn't a huge help since many people wouldn't have been holding long enough for the gains to accumulate.
