IntelliJ can connect to a Jupyter server. That's what I use. As for hardware, it's just some generic Linux box with lots of RAM - nothing special.

If you mount the remote FS locally (I use NFS) you can even stop writing locally and continue on your server's Jupyter web interface.
If the court system can try kids as adults for their heinous crimes, then the "should've known better" reasoning doesn't stand up. Plus she went to fancy schools, and was highly educated. She already "knew" better than most people living in the US.

They both should have gotten longer jail sentences, their convictions should have been about the people she harmed with her machines. Instead it was all about how she and Balwani mislead/ripped off their investors (who didn't even do their own work in due diligence).

Now Balwani is serving at a Club-Fed prison. The $452 million restitution she's been slapped with? Just for investors, it seems. Can anyone find an article that states actual people being victims? Nearly all news reports say the restitution is for "victims", but then the victims are just Safeway, Rupert Murdoch, Walgreens... etc.

There is no justice here. Not in the ruling, not in the sentencing, not even for real people. "Being wiser" or "older" is just a BS made-up reasoning. Let's at least not sugar coat why she got less of a ruling than Balwani. It's enough of an insult to those who were actually affected to have seen how this all played out.
Where I live the goal of prison is rehabilitation, not the ever greater fulfilment of a christianity-induced punishment fetish (and there are studies that support that the former is more effective at returning you functioning, tax-paying members of society once the sentence is over).

So while I agree that in the US white colar criminals tend to suspiciously often get the lighter punishment and that this fact is a glaring injustice, I think the US prison system as a whole is so utterly misconstructed, that this cricicism is a drop in a vast ocean of injustices.
It is implied that it will also install a personal shopping assistant and book-keeper that will track how much you have to spend and make recommendations. It might even take the liberty of ordering things it knows you will like or need that offer generous return policies.

Oh, and it will break a few other things so you have to ask it again. Right after it posts to your social media some deep fakes about how much you love the stuff it bought.
Yeah, in that case you can get an old thermostat that disconnects easily and wire it somewhere out of the way.

Yeah, personally I'm just totally done with Windows as a whole. Every new OS install on any machine of mine is now Linux or BSD. I just got a new (used) computer from someone that came with fully licensed Win 10 and Office.. I don't care, wiped instantly, Linux running smoothly and with more freedom than I ever would have experienced with Winblows. Ironically, even the hardware in the machine works better (and has more actively-developed drivers) than what was available in Windows, because the manufacturer had basically abandoned development for that hardware.

I have the capacity to feel really bad for her kids. I couldn't care less about the rich investors money she squandered, but as a mother I'm spitting furious that she would bring two children into this world, knowing that she was guilty for the fraud that she stood accused of. She's begged the courts for leniency on behalf of her children, and I really want to believe that she didn't have children for that sole purpose, but I don't.
Do not feel bad for her. Do not even give her a single thought.
I meant "rest" in respect to work. In many countries a letter from a doctor certifying a depression diagnostic means a month to several months of mandatory leave.

It usually comes with medical followup and regular checkups, and the general advice I heard was to take peaceful walks, or simply going outside, and cut ties from the environment where the issue rose from for a while.

The anecdote you shared shows a different part of being human: Knowing thyself. He let you in before he was mentally and emotionally ready to let go of his code, and as someone else noted in this thread, it has nothing to do what we talk about here.

Again, it's not about "people's money". It's about being ready to share and let go of control.
She likely had children because she thought it would make her more sympathetic. Unlikely given how she acts and treats all around her that the children are more than pawns in her game.
I would reconsider. Interestingly, another post on the front page right now "Numbers every LLM developer should know" brings up the fact that this efficiency is due to the training corpus being in English. Any state actor with the will and enough funds could easily train a model for their own language. Most of the difficulty would lie in acquiring the expertise to do so properly, as LLM developers are in high demand right now and command their own salary.
I know numerous people who still run Win 7. I had one close friend who I helped get set up with a new computer when his current one got destroyed by a colossal power surge. The new machine came with Win 10, and he absolutely hates it and is asking me if I can get Win 7 running on it...

I hadn't even noticed it was a feature. The fact that I am not immediately turned off by the headlines here makes my ignorance a surprise!
Thank you. This looks interesting and I will evaluate ClickHouse. :)
This is probably intentional - now that they've allowed repairing of your own devices (allowed is a bit too generous, more like strong-armed into allowing). So, they do the next-best thing... make it expensive to do self-repair (via parts cost) and cheaper to offer repairs. It's win-win. They come out on top looking good ("Oh look, we're absorbing some of the cost for repairs.") and consumers lose out. The net effect is that repair shops will also find it costly to repair.
Can they do that?

Genuinely unsure how US law works in this scenario. If the assets are in her husbands name, and are clearly not proceeds of the Theranos saga, can they be seized? (Especially given that they came into her life after all of this).

My assumption would have been that she’d essentially remain penniless in her own name until after any limitations of claims had expired (20 years I believe from elsewhere in the thread) and the debt had been written off.

Also does she spend the 11 years in jail or is it a half in/half out thing? I imagine there’s a lot of ways this still gets argued down to a much shorter time period but admittedly IANAL.

> And even in a fantasy world where you could actually stop all human-to-human contagion, many respiratory viruses have animal reservoirs, making the entire exercise pointless.

None of this contradicts GPs claim that it would eliminate a significant chunk of all contagious respiratory illnesses. Quite a few (common) respiratory diseases don't have animal reservoirs and would be effectively eliminated.
I've always stayed away from referrals. It puts additional pressure on the new job relationship working out and puts you in a more difficult spot to start. Part of your reputation is the person who referred you (good or bad). Plus it limits your circle of discovery of finding rare one of a kind jobs that are outside of your circle where most of them exist.
I haven't followed this closely but frankly I feel similarly. I think only people who are violent and dangerous to other people should be locked up, and even then only until they are no longer dangerous.

If things can be organised so she is no longer capable of defrauding people (banned from holding certain positions in companies etc.) I don't see why she should be locked up.

I'm sure I would feel differently if I had been defrauded by her, but isn't that exactly why the burden of justice fulls on people other than the aggrieved?
Hence why Solaris, HP-UX, and OS X are the UNIXes I had/have more fun using.

I read almost everything I could about NeXTSTEP and Irix, and had access to a Cube during last university year, as we were porting software originally developed on it to Windows, but sadly no longer working state.

What all those UNIXes have that Linux/BSD kind of miss with their fragmentation, although Raspberry PI kind of has it, it is the soul of the machine, a whole stack experience, the hardware, software, desktop, programming environment, combined together on a full end to end experience.
Early hints solves a different problem, there you have a list of asset URLs you know your rendered page will need. This is about producing pieces of rendered page as computation completes on the backend.

Implementing this is a pain in the ass, any new intermediary (haproxy, nginx, ...) introduces a potential new source of buffering or IO loop that attempts to helpfully batch up your writes. But when the technique is implemented, it is legitimately an amazing way to reduce latency at the client.

I use this technique in an app where an opening chunk is used to ensure the browser has begun fetching/executing the app JS bundle before a list response is rendered. After the list is rendered (incrementally as each chunk becomes available) it is again used to execute a slow summary query without having to break out a separate request. All that fits in a single HTTP response body, no additional latency is introduced by making separate API requests for the list or for the counts. Because of the initial chunk causing the JS to execute, it is also possible for the app to display certain dialogs (depending on query string parameters) that are immediately ready for user input even before the subsequent responses have finished rendering or downloading. In the case of this specific app, the technique means some dialogs are usable 300ms earlier than otherwise

Another issue not touched on in the post is how all this newly unbuffered incrementally-arriving data interacts with visual rendering on the client, there is potential for a lot of flicker and burned CPU continually re-rendering UI elements.

It sounds like Airbnb are disabling compression to make their implementation work. So long as CPU isn't a problem, you can also implement compression in the backend, and flush the compressor each time some useful unit of work is produced (some task completes, or some amount of data e.g. aligned to the size of an Ethernet MTU is available for writing). Assuming all the stars align, this should produce compressed output in a form the browser can act on every time it manages to read any amount of data from the backend.

All this effort seems like nonsense until finding you have a perfectly functional app on a crappy airport wifi network where it was otherwise impossible to even get Google to load

It turns out that chknvram is one part of the asd service, and it regularly downloads signature files looking for malwares.

BSD syslogd definitely does, perhaps whatever stripped down one ASUS is using doesn't. e.g.

Yes, I understand where you are coming from, but I don't see the need for creating a third umbrella project to make two projects get along or communicate. Maybe if both parties accept, they can directly implement the interoperability, but my opinion stands.

Anyway, I assume you know that GP is also my comment, but the difference is not Practical Value vs. Learning Value. It's the target of the project, plainly. i.e. Do you want a small tool which you gonna care, or a tool which you'll give away incl. its control.

Learning Value and Practical Value can be combined. I have a couple of tools which I built for myself, with hard constraints on resource consumption, because they run on low end SBCs. However, all of these tools provide a real value for me, because I deploy these tools/services and they handle real world load for me.

I also open source them [0][1], but I'll not accept big patches changing the code fundamentally.

The precession of mercury has a few contributions. The largest is the tug of planets (500 arc seconds/century), the next largest is from general relativity (50 arc seconds /century). There are other, smaller contributions stemming from the sun being oblate. Knowledge about the anomaly in the precession was partly what motivated Einstein, and was one of the early predictions of the theory.
Its called fait accompli. If I go to someone who stole my bike, beat them and take the bike back, yeah I do get to keep the loot, even if they prosecute me, which is unlikely, and even if they succeed in prosecuting me which is also unlikely, I still get to keep the loot. Its not the way the legal system or the law is supposed to apply, but in reality the idea or intent of law is irrelevant, its its practical application that matters. It is why I explicitly say they get away with it because they mostly do it to criminals.

No one in their sane mind think the law is intended to allow the threats they made etc, or that they had the rights to do what they did, but they did it anyways, and as the story shows, they got away with it. Think about that again, they did this to some rich white geek with a platform and they got away with it. What do you think they would get away with against a known criminal...
So what consequences do you propose for those that create such frauds that should act as an effective deterrent? Being 'demoted' after the fact doesn't really encourage anyone not to get to the top and do fraud in the first place.
I think you usually can go after the spouse's assets. But it seems less likely to be a viable avenue in this case since she met and married him after she was indicted.

Yes, being able to just run TS directly is very appealing. When I last tried, neither bun nor deno nor ts-node worked out of the box for me. The other two seem to be a bit stuck in the weeds (deno aggressively trying to do its own thing, then backtracking and adding node compatibility back in; ts-node hampered by having to work around weird design decisions in both node and TS) so I wouldn’t be surprised if bun ends up as the winning TS engine.

If I recall correctly, this is pretty much exactly the strategy that Louis Rossmann was calling out when Apple first started their 'repair' program. He was right.
I kind of agree with you, but on the other hand you either also paid for it – either directly as in newspapers or indirectly via taxes as for some public TV with limited ads – or they were plastered with ads from top to bottom.

So there is perhaps a bit of a balance to be struck. When Google Ads first started way back in the day they were simple fast text ads with content relative to the page you were reading. Since then ... a lot has changed, but I don't think the basic principle of it is necessarily wrong, just the implementation.

You can redirect people to porn sites without JS too by the way; via a HTTP header or a meta tag. If they can inject JS they can probably also inject one of those. Don't think you can really blame JS as such for that kind of stuff.

Yes, they used these employees statements to establish wrongdoings that Theranos committed... for the sole purpose of proving that the investors were defrauded. Not for people who had incorrect results, who then had to make hard life decisions based on it, not to mention the emotional trauma that this can inflict.

By "victims", I meant it in the context of the restitution. None of that half billion dollars that she owes goes to these people. All the articles I've read say she has to pay her victims in the title. But if you read the articles closely, they just say it's to pay back investors.
