Id rather also pay for the software. My point is charging $6 for dark mode is still “begging.”

I like the shareware model where people pay what they can, or what they perceive the value to be. I don’t think this is begging.

Programming is kind of unique because the marginal cost of production is near zero. I think this is a feature, not a bug and why it’s possible to have single person dev companies that are quite lucrative.
Have you tried using ChatGPT to study? It's pretty incredible for learning, particularly interactive exploration. The point of this plugin is to give ChatGPT access to reliable information to help it be more accurate and informative, as well let it provide real sources so you can verify and continue learning. MIT OpenCourseWare is a great resource (the quality of the teachers is amazing), but it isn't easy to find what you want, and it lacks the interactive component of a real class. I made this to try combining the strengths of both.
I asked my bank to do that in one case, they basically said "there is no way for us to do that". So instead the only way they can do it is to try calling me on my phone when said transaction is made to confirm, my phone whose SIM won't be compatible with the network halfway across the planet you stupid fucks.

Honestly the only fool proof way is to travel with cash, banks are incompetent.
The article has a good picture of what areas are affected.
I'm not a career optical engineer but numerical optics is a general term for computer modeling of optics (i.e. by number-crunching), like numerical anything else. In practice that means prysm can simulate wave phenomena and aspects like diffraction, polarization, phase, and interference. Geometrical optics refers to ray-tracing by geometric methods, like in introductory physics courses.
Ahh yes, I'm with you now.

I made a deliberate choice to not include that, mostly due to post size/complexity reasons. I decided that the focus of the piece was going to be on the task of effectively managing the memory you have in the face of calls to malloc/free. I decided against talking about any environment-specific information (brk, mmap, cache locality, multithreading, etc.)

May not have been the right call, but it kept the length fairly reasonable and I think it gives people enough of a nudge to dip their toes into the playground if they have time.

If you check the HTML comments on the page you'll find quite a lot of cut content. I wanted to do deep dives on real-world malloc implementations, but it ended up being very difficult to cover without making the post take over an hour to read.

I've installed Slack on macOS using Nix. That way, the installer's sha256 is checked, and its attempts at self-modification (updating) are thwarted by /nix/store being a read-only filesystem.
A US server could store the id of the European friend, and then let the app collect the data. It's not unheard of.

I disagree for three reasons:

1. While Russia warned against NATO expansion, it wasn't (and still isn't) in their power to do anything to stop it. Its actions have resulted in the expansion of NATO, a reasonably forseeable result.

2. NATO is a defensive only alliance, and can't be invoked for an invasion of Russia. If their concern is the ability of the US to store missiles and other military gear on its border, too late - the Baltics are already members. It would be an odd choice to invade purely based on the likely future expansion of an alliance that is designed to prevent you from invading its members.

3. NATO expansion or no, an independent, westward-leaning Ukraine is not an acceptable outcome. This would make NATO expansion irrelevant or at best an ancillary cause.

It's also worth noting it's not like this is the first time Russia has invaded and occupied one of its neighbours. AFAIK Georgia wasn't about to join NATO. We can't see counterfactual universes, but in my view an equally valid possibility is that NATO has stopped what is happening in Ukraine from happening in the Baltic states.

Overall the facts don't line up well with the theory that this is a response to NATO expansion, and therefore the US is to blame - it might be a factor, but more serves as a rhetorical justification Russia can use that it knows people in the US and UK can use domestically.

If you're a realist about international relations it's pretty easy to see why the UK and US might see it as in their geostrategic interest to prolong the war, and that might have been a factor. It's also worth noting there was a huge amount of public pressure for both to react. Either way, in their view, a longer war is worth it for a pro-western Ukraine, and Ukraine seems to agree. As for acting to prevent an agreement, that's largely speculation, but either way, the final choice was still Ukraine's.
Take one more step back. When you are in deep sleep, your mind is absent, and so are all sensations, but what is it that registers these breaks-in-mind-continuity? You are that host, that reality, that being that never sleeps.

Since this always comes up I feel obligated to point out golf courses don’t use near as much water as people think. They can use a lot of reclaimed and grey water for grass and ponds.
I may remember wrongly here, but wasn't ValueTask merely the go-to option when it's expected that the task would finish synchronously most of the time? I think for the really async case with a state machine you just end up boxing the ValueTask and ending up with pretty much the same allocations as Task, just in a slightly different way.
Late 30's no kids, no stresses beyond the threat layoffs and still being single.

I recently tried playing some video games adjacent to ones I've loved before, and I found it really hard to get into them. The games are Red Dead Redemption and SimCity 4, so the graphics and gameplay mechanics are ok. It's just been hard to really get into them.
I wonder if you could get more reliable performance by planning a more centralized location. My book club uses the main jitsi site and it works well all things considered, but it's not perfect by any means. We've got people in several US and EU time zones showing up with varying internet connection qualities, so it's a difficult case.

But hey, it's free. And it hits the most important consideration: it could not be easier to use. That's pretty critical since my club mates don't have much capacity for troubleshooting.

> My shoulders go up around my ears when Dern's character is lecturing his shipmates on "real food". IRL, they would have thrown him out an airlock after one too many sanctimonious speeches.

Virtually every HN discussion about nutrition is filled with those kinds of sanctimonious speeches (with everybody serving their own kind of "real food"). And it's hardly just HN or even the virtual world. I'd say the movie was ahead of its time in that regard, but I think it was always that way.
This is so wrong it hurts. Can't think of a better gap between theory and reality.

(I.e., there is no universe in which Jitsi's possible/likely abuse of this data is remotely close to Zoom's)
Another major application is in finance! Computing risk metrics for hedging purposes used to to be based on a "bump and reprice" method, i.e. you bump the input by a small amount and see how that affects the price (the definition of a derivative). But now in modern quant libraries, implementing the pricing as a graph allows you to get all of the sensitivities (derivatives) for free!

I don't think the software industry is in a recession.

Yes, depends on the org, depends on the org.

California could care less if the Colorado Compact is changed. Their use of it is limited to a small area south of LA. Mostly for farming. Which they shouldn't be doing there anyway.

It's states like Arizona that will have the problem. I lived in Scottsdale. Saw the writing on the wall and we sold the Scottsdale place for an insane amount of money. Having said that, if you can get a place just inside the border of the city of Phoenix, you'll probably be good. Phoenix has been socking away water forever and has about 70 to 100 years worth of it under the city. As a matter of water availability, I'd stay away from places out in the suburban areas though. If you've been paying attention down there, you probably kind of already know that if it comes to a head, Phoenix will take care of Phoenix. Places like Scottsdale, Mesa, or Tempe would be expected to solve their own problems.

I firmly believe things are gonna get heated out in Arizona if the drought persists. No pun intended.
As I mentioned in the article - try "A Philosophy of Software Design". That kinda fundamental. It introduces such terms as "Complexity" and its types.

I finally purged python2.7 from all the systems I admin during the Ubuntu 22.04 upgrade cycle. Worked just fine. No reason to keep it around if nothing depends on it, and indeed nothing does. If something does depend on it, think long and hard whether you really need that thing.

I don’t know about desktop Linux though.
I'm sure in person it is, however my original point is it's not clear from the amazon link.
Not specifically. Photoplethysmography just means, roughly, light based volume measurement. It can measure pulse when done crudely. If you have a baseline for blood pressure and a sensitive enough PPG sensor you can detect different levels of volume and infer pressure. It is analogous to measuring water pressure based on the diameter of a filled rubber hose.

To the GP's point, the largest blood pressure monitor company is Omron. Portable monitors have been around. https://www.omron.com/global/en/technology/omrontechnics/vol... is a good place to learn more about the advantages and disadvantages of different approaches. Piezoelectric and PPG would have the advantage of lower cost, lower mechanical complexity, and continuous monitoring instead of point measurements.
> Until we find a way to falsify it, we have to keep trying, don't we?

By that same token, we should keep looking for the fountain of eternal youth in El Dorado until it can be conclusively proven it doesn't exist.

A theory which is not falsifiable is not a scientific theory, at least in principle, and it is hard to tell why it should be entertained for quite so long.
Useful LLMs are probably still a tad to large to run locally on device. Loading and unloading the model takes several seconds, so ideally the model would just sit in RAM at all times.

In my experience playing with local LLaMA variants, ChatGPT level responses are really only possible with 13B parameter models and up. With 4bit quantization that's 6.5GB of RAM usage just for the model weights. You could totally run that on a phone today, but you'll be getting 2 tokens/s and using the majority of the phone's RAM.

A responsive, local LLM on a phone is going to happen someday soon, but we need some serious hardware improvements first. I'd speculate you'll need at least 24GB of shared memory, and considerably more dedicated tensor multiplication cores.

Alternatively, some sort of GPT architecture change that reduces the memory overhead could also drive local LLMs. Who knows, maybe Apple has a trick or two up their sleeves.
There's also the visual editor, which I think got a mixed reception, but I like it for quick edits.
Nietzsche wrote about this stuff, doubt there is any magnitude of fine that would be acceptable to the baying masses.
Did you read the article? It's just one quote that shows the scale of his "art" production. It also shows he cared more about the output and money flow than what is actually printed and distributed under his name and signature. If it's not enough here is more:

> “(Dalí) was completely money obsessed, to the point of a mania,”

> The artist’s appetite for money ... made him a black sheep to many colleagues.

His greediness is the main reason the market of the fake lithographs exists in the first place.
The trip could be necessary but not sufficient.
>He fired all the people who held the line on its ongoing degradation, so it's getting worse.

> By "waited" you surely meant "were busy fighting Nazis".

As were the rest of the Allies. Soviet help with Japan probably would've been welcome much earlier.

> And let me quote the wiki article I linked to: "The Soviet entry into the war and the defeat of the Kwantung Army was a significant factor in the Japanese government's decision to surrender unconditionall".

The Japanese home islands were blockaded, constantly bombed, and hit with nuclear weapons after a grinding campaign across the Pacific. They'd lost by the time the Soviets jumped in; they were solidly on that path since 1942.

Soviet entry may've reinforced the hopelessness of continuing, but the Pacific part of WWII was largely fought by the US and UK alone. Contesting "the US won over the Japanese in the Pacific" is a tough path.
You also might find if you go to a “big tech”
-esque company, the career paths and challenging projects available as an individual contributor might satisfy your desire for growth, without having to go into management. Depends what your motivations are but bigger tech focussed companies will often have parallel IC and manager career paths that are equivalent, so you can become a very senior engineer without transitioning into management.
Are they also going to add a button to prevent a classmate from just creating another account (or doing it themselves on any computer except yours at home)? All you do is give it a username, password, and solve a captcha.

I’m confused at what deleting an account would actually solve for the problems you’re encountering.
JFK almost went to war with the Soviet Union when they tried to station long range missiles in Cuba.

Not only would the US invade Mexico under this scenario, they would shock-and-awe roll it over.

But It doesn't work on gmail, grammarly. I would suggest to make it work on "any" input box as you say. I hope updates are coming in for these.
I recently tinkered around with io_uring for a presentation. Here is a toy echo server I made with it: https://gist.github.com/martinjacobd/be50a93744b94749339afe8... (non io_uring example for comparison: https://gist.github.com/martinjacobd/feea261d2fafe5e7332e37d...)

You can get so much mileage from a $40 hetzner instance. Mine is doing all forms of useful things. My only critique is that latency to storage boxes is awful (and storage is otherwise really pricey).
One of the older jokes page of the internet apparently decided to redirect to a meme twitter page.

Asymmetric fields are in a temporary transition state to/from required. So it would seem a bit odd to me for the transition state to be the default.

However, I think I see your reasoning: you don't want to accidentally introduce a required field without first making it asymmetric, and having asymmetric as the default would effectively prevent that.

So I can see the appeal of both designs!
Because there are no specifics in your question, I have no idea what your projects might be. So I will pretend this question is about future side projects and not current side projects.

Conveniently, this allows me to suggest the simplest thing that might work:

Do the simplest thing that might work.

The easiest way to handle authentication is to choose a project that doesn't require.

Text files are the simplest databases.

Github pages is a simple way to host a site.

HTML, CSS, and Javscript don't require a backend, just a web server.

A sideproject doesn't need to look like the thing that you work on all day at a workplace. When there's money on the line, relational databases and robust authentication can have economic rationales. IF there's no money involved, and maybe no users, why bother? Unless you want the practice doing what you already know and want to avoid doing harder things like getting users (and maybe making money).

Good luck.
Because if they are not marked or restricted then I believe they won't appeal to users who want expert articles. Like in the reaction to LLMs we know that people who want high certainty in their articles also want to know when they're in their high certainty environment and when they're not. Mixing the two will cause many of them to be upset. Permitting volunteers to edit will cause many of them to be upset, especially if there is one with an error.

It's better this way with a clear separation of wiki and expert.
I think you are correct, ST is closer to mathematical abstraction than an actual physical theory. I think that makes it more useful than less useful though.
No but my networking group does, which I thought was an interesting choice. It was because the whole 'zoom is insecure' thing was going around when the pandemic hit. It's worked out OK ish, they're still using it after 3+ years.
> How is it you can love a machine?

That's not it for me. For me is I can create things. I always wanted to create machines, but even simple machines required enormous amounts of time in a machine shop, and once I left college I no longer had any machine tools available.

But with programming, I could create all kinds of machines, limited only by my imagination, at no cost.
The nozzles are microscopic. Remember these things are 1200dpi. Any "storage cup" that is big enough that it wouldn't instantly be clogged with old ink would also still have lots of air in it.
I think it's a difference between European English and American English. American English would spell it "combating". Which I kinda learned was wrong in an American school.

"Swimming", "running", "batting" come from "swim", "run", and "bat", respectively. The present participle form doubles the consonant at the end of the word "as a rule" I was told. A single consonant would mean that there is a silent "e" at the end of the word which suggests a preceding long vowel (e.g., cure -> curing, compete -> competing, combate -> combating).

Anyway, it's because nobody follows rules when writing and speaking English and as long as the other person understood your meaning, your grammar was correct.
I have a ~$250 Brother laser printer that worked great until it mysteriously stopped accepting print jobs, regardless of connectivity (wifi, ethernet, USB). I've factory reset it multiple times to no effect and the only lead I have to potentially fixing it is reflashing its firmware, but that seems to require some kind of obscure Windows utility that only authorized Brother servicers have access to.
Over allocation is not a problem with water right seniority itself. Seniority dictates that when there isn't enough to go around, the last in is first out.

The problem/challenge is that those with the least seniority don't like being cut off.
I think it holds true for competitive public positions in places where they are trying to get rid of corruption. It raises the cost of bribing people in power, and makes it much more attractive to get into politics for the right reasons.

The best example is probably Singapore, which is surrounded by corrupt neighbors, and deeply involved in industries that thrive on corruption (shipping), but is notoriously a place where officials follow the rules.
It does seem like a percentage or sliding scale is needed. Likely it didn’t seem like something worth considering many decades ago

That's cool! But it relies on the model being an accurate representation of reality, right? What kind of models are we talking about anyways, and what inputs do they use? (Asking out of curiosity, not skepticism)
Some years back, my employer's HP all-in-one decided to expire the printhead. WTF? I could see throwing a warning if a clog were detected, but no, this was time-based. I'd never heard of any rational reason beyond clogs to replace a printhead, and if it's replaceable, it ought to be cleanable.

The punch line: that POS wouldn't even let me scan with the "expired" printhead in place.

Earth Will Likely Dodge ‘Planet Killer’ Asteroids for the Next 1k Years
Im neither a psychologist nor a physicist, but I think one can analogize population vs individual behaviour to condensed matter physics versus particle physics. Condensed matter physics finds emergent behaviour in large clumps of stuff that would, in principle, be totally predictable from first principles (the standard model), but which in practice are quite difficult to guess a priori. Different scales lend themselves to different tools, since nonlinear dynamics (chaos) makes it intractable to apply bedrock reductionist formulae to large systems. The higher order behaviour of complex systems is in no way less interesting or true, I would argue, than the seemingly simpler behaviour of very small systems.

In contrast to condensed matter vs the standard theory (QM basically), QM vs GR has fundamental incongruities, since both theories make claims about what happens at the same scale. Only one (or most likely neither) can be correct at the event horizon and center of a black hole.
Counterpoint is that imperial valley farming is very productive because the climate is great for many crops other than the lack of water.
