Well, spinlaunch doesn't exist yet. It also imparts _much_ higher accelerations on its payloads than a rocket does, and a rocket is already appreciable.
Comcast is the only real option around here, and for years almost every time I had connection problems it ended up being their DNS. I've switched to 1.1.1.1 and haven't looked back.
I think I had originally written something like select min(size) min, max(size) max, max-min range, but that didn’t work as the newly introduced names ‘weren’t in scope’ and I didn’t want to type those aggregations out again. You’re right that it could have been avoided.
Midjourney actually does pretty well with this one (needs a bit of cleanup but shockingly useful as a first draft): https://imgur.com/a/GKzx3vX
Spinlaunch would destroy these satellites, and still requires some amount of rocket to get to orbit.
Brain injuries proove that the brain is necessary to the mind at least as much as bones and muscles are necessary to movement.

This does not prove the non existence of an immortal soul† but proves that any effect metaphysical entities have on our observable (both inner and outer) behavior is heavily mediated by neurons.

Those apps clearly add value to their users and the mods using the extra features.

Still find it odd that Reddit doesn't just buy out those apps, seems like it would be mutually beneficial to just about everybody.

This is an overly simplistic but also correct answer: clickhouse was developed for analytics on clickstreams.

Technically the overall idea is that if you have lots of queries that only read certain columns and your database stores rows contiguously it's a waste to read a whole row and then discard columns.

Also compression (such as run length or delta or even ztsd) often works better if you give it a block of data that's from one column (such as a timestamp or tag value).
There is something vaguely solipsistic about this project—the creator apparently didn't try to contact TfL to ask if the designer of these displays was still around. Meanwhile Tfl put a lot of effort into memorializing their typographic tradition: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LIAxVW-9fRo

Without meaning to sneer, I can't help noticing this project represents a really trivial engagement with typography (dot matrix characters are really simply to copy). There's no craft involved, obviously, and not necessarily any taste either. Typography and graphic design in general are full of those things. Maybe the designers of the signage would have been able to shed some light on those aspects...
Nice and concise! I just started Proof and the Art of Mathematics by JD Hamkins[0], based on pg's recommendation[1], "is a beautiful book in both senses. It's both beautifully written, but also physically beautiful, thanks to its many illustrations, which I was surprised to hear were made by the author himself." Chapter 4 on induction improved my attitude.

The disconnect between the look and the actual description of the two main female characters, Fall-from-Grace and Annah, is interesting.

Annah looks like a bimbo in her 3D model, but in game most NPCs find her repulsive or at least off-putting. She's not sexualized in-game, but her portrait is that of a "sexy babe".

Conversely, Fall-from-Grace is described in-game as a tempting succubus (though she doesn't behave like one) and is supposed to be extremely attractive, yet her 3D portrait is rendered in shadows, very skinny, with scary bat wings and no hint of "babe" characteristics. She is not "sexy".

I wonder if the people who drew the character portraits were going by the early pitch draft, because the disconnect with the actual characters is extreme.
Spinlaunch is a joke. No payload is built to withstand those kinds of forces during a launch and the added weight to reinforce them to do so makes it uneconomical.

They are even offering to pay companies the extra cost to reinforce their payloads to try and get customers and they still can't get anyone to do it.

I think all things considered BG2 aged better - it had less exciting plot, but it balanced better all the aspects.

That said, I would nudge Pillars of Eternity and Pathfinder: Kingmaker above PST as they have an equally good amount of story, NPC interaction, they balance combat better. Pillars II, Wrath of the Righteous and Tides of Numenera, otoh, are below the PST bar in my opinion but ymmv depending on tastes. On the Divinity side, DOS:2 is also a good competitor in the list, although I find it the story tends to be too diluted by combat.

Notably many of the titles I listed above have had Avellone involved at some point (I think he had been involved with Numenera, DOS:2, Pillars I and Kingmaker, maybe more).

I was very skeptical about BG3, especially because even if I listed DOS:2 above, I didn't really like it too much, I'm no Larian fan. But I played the early access and it seems to be golden good so far.

Otoh I replayed (for the billionth time?) all IE games recently and while I still consider PST to be the best IE game ever (only BG2 comes close) it's definitely not uniform. The plot weakens after leaving Sigil, and so do side quests and non-linearity (it's actually pretty linear overall, but after Sigil it doesn't even maintain the illusion). Even the interactions with NPCs are sometimes lackluster (e.g. I would have "pushed" Morte more on the "don't trust the skull" bit) I felt (but it's personal opinion I'd say) that many interactions in PoE went deeper than that.

Anyway, these are opinions and I know of at least one PST fan who would trash the PoEs, Numenera and the Pathfinders (but loved DOS:2), so YMMV.
Not only can both of those be achieved, the ability to launch so many satellites means we can observe those distant stars from space, which gets around the much bigger problems of Earth's atmosphere and light pollution.
Google maps has deteriorated considerably for me recently. It used to be flawless, but now it routes me through random neighborhoods and awkward narrow streets, like I haven't seen navigation this bad since MapQuest.
Yeah and I don’t think it’s a terrible thing. It’s not a fantastic thing, but they are building public spaces and they are building affordable units. Sadly the best we can get at the moment.
Your link is wrong, it points to an E3-1230 (v1) from 2011 (Sandy Bridge), while the tested CPU was E3-1230 v3 from 2013 (Haswell).

Decoding the Intel product names requires experience, because one or two letters or digits added or deleted can change very much the characteristics of the product. Two such products differing in one letter might have a five times difference in performance.

Not that it matters much, because even an only 10-year old CPU is still ancient.
Few years ago, Kuwaiti government wanted to collect DNA samples of all humans within its borders (citizens and foreigners).

https://www.newsweek.com/kuwait-becomes-first-country-world-...

I don’t know if it materialized or not. But the point is this - the very fact that they thought it was ok to do so, is alarming. It won’t be long before some government mandates that hospitals need to collect DNA during childbirth. Sounds crazy? Maybe, but it is possible.
You’re assuming the study was political. The article doesn’t say anything about manipulating political beliefs—Where did you get that from?

Honest question, no trolling: for Jews and Muslims, the "kosher" and "halal" labels are heavily regulated, and AFAIK there isn't any great controversy about shady operators self-labeling their ordinary foods in order to sell more (or is there?).

So as a (former) Catholic: why can't the Church do something similar? Is it only because the market for sacramental wine is so much smaller than the market for halal foods?
A state machine (specifically a FSM) class is something I end up having to reinvent in every new language I've adopted. Such a useful pattern whose need comes up repeatedly. Especially in games/sims or in anything with a GUI. Since I've been making both for decades I have a lot of homegrown FSM classes sitting around. :-p

These days, with production systems being componentized across VMs, abstractions like LVM in use, etc., the filesystem is no longer a fixed "feature of the deploy environment" chosen separately from the needs of the application, that needs to cope with any random thing the production application might do; but rather, a prod deployment is designed as a whole, where you choose the filesystem and plan the use of its features relative to what application you'll be deploying on it. (And, in fact, for a stateful application like a DBMS, you'll probably have one or more separate volumes just for the application state — so the filesystem you use to solve application-state problems doesn't even need to be good at being a rootfs for an OS; it only needs to be good for your application use-case.)

Under this paradigm, rather than trying to make a filesystem that understands applications well enough to snapshot them, you instead make applications that have filesystem snapshots as part of their conceptual model.

In the lower-effort version of this approach, you have software like Postgres, where the application layer can be told "I'm going to use filesystem tooling to take a consistent snapshot, so make your on-disk state consistent for a while." In PG, you'd call pg_start_backup(), which will flush all pending writes to the table files to disk, and then spool all future writes purely in the WAL journal until the backup completes (i.e. until you tell it pg_stop_backup()) — at which point all those pending changes get replayed out to the table files.

In the higher-effort version of this approach, you have software that has one or more CoW filesystems it natively understands and integrates with — where you never directly address the filesystem at all, but rather, you tell the application to take an application level snapshot; and then the application uses the filesystem CoW features, together with its own consistency primitives, to efficiently achieve that (which might not necessarily result in something that's a "filesystem snapshot" from the FS's perspective, but rather just a bunch of individual CoW-cloned files in a directory.) I believe that Oracle DBMS does this, though I might be wrong.
Yes, this is the best workflow (though I'm curious how you get 5ms latency with a full dev env restart -- fork/exec alone takes 1-5ms on my 2020 macbook).

Nits aside use the same style and have set a time budget of 50ms for myself. I have even setup nvim to save on every keystroke (one also learns how to not write infinite loops when programming in this style).

This style of programming is transformative because it's like having a persistent repl. It becomes feasible to test every edge case with print debugging as you go. This workflow is also why I have little interest in any language that primarily targets llvm, which will easily blow my time budget in code gen.
Maintainability is not relevant to ad-hoc analytics queries. That may be dealt with once the correct query has been determined from sufficient iteration.
I've used 20 or 30 git commands over 8 years or so. Many on a daily basis. I haven't gotten around to to rebase yet. It's definitely not essential.

Good point. I think mods of big subs should be required to be non-anonymous. BUT, they should also be paid because it is a ton of work. At the very least some kind of stipend.

It does surprise me if Reddit was not paying the mods of top subs.

Second sentence of the article.
When I first joined this website I was working as a programmer and barely above the poverty line. It took years for that to multiply, and my income and costs have both fluctuated heavily. I currently don’t struggle to make ends meet but I’ll never forget all the times when I did.
> I don’t think it is reasonable to expect for a person on in a sort of informal online conversation like this to be able to define a bulletproof experiment for the topic.

I am allowed to ask, right? It doesn't seem crazy to me that when someone criticizes a study, someone else will ask "how could you solve the problem you describe?". I would like to know if someone has any idea on how to falsify it, because if someone were to find one, it might convince me of the criticism.

> Let’s apply a similar logic to something that is clearly possible to design an experiment around. How about detecting neutrinos? If we were commenting on an article about detecting neutrinos by dropping a piece of paper and seeing if it bounced around a bit on the way down, I think we’d all identify that as not a very good experiment. But, I could not design a very good experiment for detecting neutrinos. And, this doesn’t say much about whether or not neutrinos exist, I’m just not a physicist.

I don't think that is a good comparison. A better one would be if there is an experiment, and then someone comments on the results by saying "well, it could have been dark matter particles interacting in some way". It might as well be true, but it's not definitive if they don't explain how to measure and isolate that. Someone else asking for how they would design the experiment to take this into account seems like a completely reasonable ask to me.
> It's not the only one I can think of, but no other options have been presented to me.

Well, then, with all due respect, if you already know of other options, why are you asking?

> I'm asking how we could measure your idea

Who cares? Even if you cannot "measure" (whatever that means) the alternatives, the fact still remains that people are drawing conclusions from incorrect and invalid data.

That's the point, really - the field of psychology is bereft of replicable studies.

Observing that the way a particular field performs research results in invalid conclusions doesn't put any obligation on the observer to provide alternatives.

It's enough to point out that a thing is wrong; there's no requirement to also provide the correct answer.

I don’t think Google can divest GCP without losing a fatal amount of face. It would cause some very awkward questions to be asked such as: is Google’s valuation justified if they fail so abjectly at what is supposed to be their core competence?

On the other hand, from the beginning it has never felt like they wanted to be in the cloud services business and GCP has only ever existed for the aforementioned face saving reasons. It has just never fit with their company culture of: NIH all the tech, have users not customers, and place what’s best for managers’ careers above what’s best for the company.
The actual game is nothing like this at all.

There are a couple of unfortunate character portraits of "babes", that don't match the actual character descriptions or behavior. It's the only juvenile aspect to the game, along with some of Morte's quips.

The actual game is neither juvenile nor a power fantasy. It is an anti-power-fantasy. It is about atonement for past misdeeds. Killing is often not the solution, and in fact there is a "pacifist" walkthrough.

Most of the characters you find are mentally and physically scarred by things done to them by [redacted].
Not an issue per se, but there are plenty of candidates who might not care about merging vs. rebasing but have an interest in other things. So many interviews consist of interviewers hoping you parrot their own worldview back to them. It’s not a good way to build a team.

IMO the one urn problem does nothing to get away from this.

Recapping the one urn problem: 90 balls in one urn. 30 are red, 60 are black or yellow in unknown proportion. Users must pick a set of gambles called a scenario, then pick a particular gamble. All balls are equally likely to be pulled. I'll list out the possible probabilities based on possible ground state truth:

Scenario 1:

Gamble A: Receive $100 if you draw a red ball P(0.33~)

Gamble B: Receive $100 if you draw a black ball P(0)-P(0.66~)

Scenario 2:

Gamble C: Receive $100 if you draw a red or yellow ball P(0.33~)-P(1)

Gamble D: Receive $100 if you draw a black or yellow ball P(0.66~)

Per my earlier argument, this scenario triggers my "someone is trying to trick and/or scam me" heuristic which creates an expectation that my choice of scenario will be predicted somehow, and that the color distribution will be chosen to maximally disadvantage me. I think most people would feel the same way and so I'd assume that most people would prefer gambles A and D respectively and that's exactly what happens.

rebase = true
I naively thought to be "part of the alphabet" our ancestors would have needed to, you know, use "&" in words - the article weakly hints at this for "&c" as being equivalent to "etc" (saving keystrokes even before they had keyboards, I guess). But given that they didn't, say, write "sand" as "s&" I will politely refuse to accept it as a letter.
Also, even if the metaphysical soul existed, they needed to interface with the physical entities somehow. In other word, if the soul is in control of the brain, and thus requires some form of communication with the brain, which enters into the realm of physics.
Yes, it’s a reasonable way to achieve reliably of the whole system, as long as you have infinite money.
If you teach all the concepts of Git (e.g. commits point to parents but not to children or branches are labels that point to a commit) properly it takes some time but then you get a lot of the more advanced things such as rebase kind of for free. In my experience, people often struggle with those because they have no clue how Git internally works. I had the same problem but when I looked into that it clicked and suddenly all the commands made a lot more sense.

You can abuse dependencies in every language. This doesn't sound like a Python problem but a bad tech management problem (i.e. who signed off on allowing 'randomguy69/left-pad' as a dependency).

To expand upon this, for version control there are pieces of GUI software that can allow you to handle the typical workflows without touching the CLI. Packages like Git Cola, GitKraken and functionality that's bundled with most IDEs as well.

In addition there are also platforms like GitHub, GitLab and Gitea which will let you easily get changes merged across branches with either a single commit or different strategies, all with the press of a button.

I don't think that there is a reason for everyone to do a deep dive into Git, aside from their own curiosity, or when using complex workflows.
That's... not whataboutism, it isn't an attempt to distract from an accusation or problem, it's the opposite of that in fact.
Two reasons.

There were some alleged cultist/idolatry practices involving wine that would cause it to become non kosher so it’s easier to just blanket ban anything handled by a goy. I think boiling makes it unusable for those same rituals.

It’s also to discourage fraternising (especially romantically) with goyim.
Not all of psychology, but this type of problem, yes. We just don't have the neurological knowledge required to get such information meaningfully yet. It would be like people in the 1700s trying to study nuclear forces - it's not an absurd endeavor, but they just didn't have the means yet.

The information I have been able to find suggests that anthrax vaccine refusal rates were very low.

"An analysis of active-duty personnel deployed in an area potentially at risk to biological warfare reported just 5 out of 10,000 soldiers refusing the anthrax vaccine. Most of these cases were personnel that did not desire to stay in the military. While official records of total vaccine refusals are not available, it was reported that Pentagon statements estimated 350 servicemembers had refused the vaccine between 1998 and 2000."
