Even with byte-ranges in S3, I know that some standards like OME report very poor performance compared to local filesystems (their use case requires very low latency to show various subrectangles of multidimensional data, converted to image form, for pathologists sitting in a browser). They have been exploring moving from monolithic tiff image files to using zarr, which preshards and does compression in blocks.

That stops working if they believe you're a convenient link to a person of interest. There's no evidence Xu Jin's sister-in-law had significant ties to the PRC outside of a family member's marriage.

I've been using devenv for new projects. I like it so far. Some might find nix (which it requires) to be overkill, but I think that's underestimating how devilish of a problem it's solving.

I mean, is he wrong? Genuinely the only other application I’ve seen which seems plausible is for use in places like Venezuela where the official currency is worthless.
Well, if you're editing with proxies (which is really easy with Resolve or Media Composer), the editing experience is really smooth. But that doesn't help for grading or delivery, where you'll still need the full resolution files.

Even with Gen 4 NVMe storage you'll quickly hit bottlenecks at those resolutions.
It's not quite so simple. Although the age of majority is 18 according to the Family Law Reform Act 1969, that is primarily relevant to financial contracts (debt), criminal sentencing, and tobacco. Drinking, you can drink in private from sixteen, although you can only purchase once at eighteen. You can start a company at sixteen. You bear primary authority over your medical records from sixteen, and your caregivers cannot access them without your consent. You can vote in some elections from sixteen. But you can't adopt until 21.

The TLDR is that in the UK, age limits are quite case-by-case, and tend to range from 16 to 21, although in more niche cases can range from 11 (the age you can open a bank account) to 30 (the age of suffrage for women in the 1918 Representation of the people act).
Also, surprisingly there are HoA's that are fighting people that want to install an outlet for their car e.g. town home owners without a garage.
It's curious how there seems to be few if any hard numbers on the work in the office side of the argument. What I've seen are anecdotes like, "We're more creative in person" or, without evidence: "Being near each other makes the work better." In google's case: ok, take a look at all those KPI's for teams that WFH vs in office: where is that?

On the WFH side, it's straightforward to calculate the commute hours saved, carbon footprint lowered, and minutes more spent with friends/family.

Now that many workers have enjoyed the WFH status quo, they feel that management is actively removing benefits.

For those curious, I tried the same prompts with Kandinsky 2.1 [0]. In my experience it kind of blends the conceptual understanding of DALL-E with the higher quality image generation of Stable Diffusion. Like Midjourney though it kind of injects it's own style and allows you to get "satisfying" results from short prompts.

The flaw with these comparisons is that you really shouldn't use the same prompt with different generators. If you want to get best results you do have to play with the prompts and do a bunch of iteration to kind of explore the latent space and find what you're looking for. The first super long prompt looks like it's tuned for stable diffusion for instance. Different generators also have different syntax (e.g. with stable diffusion you can surround a phrase with parens to give it extra emphasis).

Amazing! Isn't there also a single element one that uses an inverted cylinder with the type on the inside?

In general, I'm discovering what a deep rabbit hole I've dug myself into. Last weekend I was trying to decide between a Corona Silent, a similar-vintage Remington I haven't yet identified, and an SCM Corsair. Looking for a nice portable contrast to a Selectric that isn't fatiguing to use.

Edit: Re. that first point, believe I was thinking (somewhat backwards) of the 1878 version of the Malling-Hansen Writing Ball: https://www.officemuseum.com/typewriters_hansen_writing_ball...
That's an interesting thought. Any company that raises money from VCs will ultimately either fail or end up publicly traded (via IPO or acquisition), and at that point it's just a matter of time before they start squeezing their users.

I wonder what the ideal time is in a company's arc to start their eventual replacement. Render just raised a series B which probably means they're still many years away from step 3, so it's probably too early. But maybe when they're raising a series C or D, it's time to start thinking about making their replacement.

I feel like Stripe is entering that territory right now. Not that they're worse than alternatives, but they no longer have that "wonderful experience" magic because they've started to turn on the maximize shareholder value engine.

That has the same answer. I'm not sure what you're looking for.

The polyfill adds code at the start of the block to make an array, and code at the end of the block to call dispose on everything in the array. Then the transpiler just has to turn "using" into an append.

There's some other details to handle exceptions but that's the basics of how it works.

Edited: The code, polyfill or native, doesn't really know if things can be disposed. It just tries to do it, because you told it to. If the variable is null it skips it, otherwise it asserts that the dispose function exists at using time, and blindly runs it at the end of block.

I dealt with almost the exact same thing at my last job, but in my case, the power dynamics were split between two offices and I had a defender pretty high up who had watched me get to work and figure stuff out by being down the hall from me every day.

Nonetheless, in the end the buffoon was more than I could take, so I gave notice, and ended up in a different department. Sure enough, he brought in an expensive vendor to implement a replacement for a thing I had been using to handle file server loads for years without issue. A few months later, sure enough, his black box solution started corrupting files on the network, and he was gone soon after. I would have gone back to the IT dept but I was making more as a Python dev by that point.
Question for all the RVers here on HN: why do so many of you refuse to use designated pull outs? The ones specifically created for vehicles like yours to move over and let the dozen+ cars behind you pass so they can go more than 20 under the speed limit. Many RVs I encounter even go out of their way to prevent passing. I don't really understand it, and it seems like an RV-specific behavior.
What I wish I knew, don’t bother with the RV. Get something like a nice airstream trailer and a capable vehicle to pull it.
I am sitting at a campgrounds in Sweden right now. There are a few dozen cabins, of which maybe a handful are being rented. Six, maybe, at the most. Meanwhile, the camping area is absolutely packed with RVs and camper vans. So, maybe not just Washington?
The meaning of the word "phone" has shifted in the recent years, and your requirements are a good representation of what that word meant in circa 2007; recently however the requirements 1-8 have so little relevance that it's possible to operate a device without satisfying any of them [0]. The new meaning of the word is an expanded version of #9 whereas it's a connected gadget that runs apps from the well-stocked built-in store.

Any newcomer, Linux or not, would immediately face the most obvious problem, which is a complete lack of a well-stocked store.

> You think that Houston or St. Louis or wherever don't "adopt behavioral patterns" to make themselves feel safer too?

No, not nearly to the same extent.

Whether that's the case or not is actually besides my point.

My point is that OP isn't simply claiming that he "feels unsafe". He's likely claiming that he IS unsafe. And, the only reason his unsafe environment hasn't resulted in physical harm is due to his altered behavior.

That line of reasoning is cogent and rational, and therefore, your claims of emotionalism are largely uncalled for.
Wouldn’t it make more sense to email them before they were impacted instead of when they were impacted? What’s the point of gradual roll out that requires I read your blog etc. An email that says “You have 60 days to X” is a lot more effective than one that says “60 days ago we made a blog post letting you know, and now you’re f’d.”
Wow, this really should be updated to 2023.

Here's what my list would be: (full time for 7 years, now building a house so I don't need full time RVing ever again).

1. RV parks are full, they converted almost all the nightly sites to monthlys to guarantee revenue. RV Parks are the new mobile home park but with monthly RVers who got wind of the "Gone with the Wynns" blog and cheaper cost of living.

2. RV Park nightly rates have literally gone from $35 a night to $70 a night during the 2020s -> 2023s. A lot of the time you're the one that showed up paying $70 per day and all the loud blubs next door are paying $10 per night at the monthly rate.

3. Free camping areas are getting shut down after sites like "campendium" have advertised them to everyone. Most of the problems are related to illegal gray and black tank dumping on public lands.

4. Quartzsite is an absolute shit-show now, it's still probably worth going, but it's crowded. I wouldn't be surprised if they shut down the free areas in the next few years over the same gray/black tank issues.

5. Internet problems are 1000% solved with Starlink now.

6. Solar does not power the A/C. To power the A/C you need 10+ residential solar panels and a $2000 inverter on a 48 volt system. There are ways to have a 48 volt battery and down-regulate to 12v for the rest of your RV. People that run A/C off solar have "special ways" to have that many residential panels, typically involving fold outs and trailers.

7. Gas prices have skyrocketed in CA so it's not worth going anywhere near the state - let alone find a park that's cheap.

There was some semblance of openness and creativity in most of the previous walled gardens. Myspace let you style your profile with CSS and embed stuff. Facebook used to let you run your own chat client. AIM/ICQ/MSN/Yahoo all had semi-open protocols and as a result we had Trillian/Pidgin/others. Things were somewhat centralized but they were connected via open protocols. It was a beautiful time.

To say nothing of the fact that the cultural zeitgeist has changed from kids distrusting "the man" to kids openly bragging about sponsorships and "influencers" whoring themselves out for likes and free product. Content that was accessible, linkable, archivable, and searchable now lives in millions of miniature jails. And then we get something like the Reddit apocalypse that just happened and now the internet is missing vast swathes of vitally important information, because one stupid fucking CEO wanted to take his company public.

So yes, kids these days.
The problem is that what is considered "hate speech" and "misinformation" is often very subjective. How would someone even "invade" other people's communities? Everyone chooses their own timeline after all.
Sure, what are those ten other words, sub them in where you like. Maybe "barrier of cost of entry" for most of the ones beyond historical wealthy-person-patronage? I'm not too concerned with what specifically to call examples of how things will change.

Overall I believe that this is certainly a disruptive, possibly revolutionary, information systems technology but I don't believe it's more uniquely purely extractive than something like the internet or previous disruptive ones.
I lead the engineering team and we've reworked our interview process a lot in the last year - it's much shorter and can still be split into multiple days.

Of course beliefs aren't passed down genetically, but they are likely to be passed down through a parent raising a child. It happens with adopted children too. For example, if both of your parents are Republicans, you are much more likely to be a Republican than if both of your parents were Democrats.
An exchange is basically a bank without the regulations and consumer protections of real banks. It also defeats the purpose of crypto. It's the worst of both worlds.
For reference, here's what you can get with a properly tweaked Stable Diffusion, all running locally on my PC.

> The bias is abundant, it's well known this guy hates crypto.

Does that make him wrong? Or somehow not a reliable commentator on the thinking at the SEC (which is what the actual article is about), given his having worked there? Bias could be an issue if he were speaking about crypto per se, but this is about the SEC.
Arguably, those differences come from size of the core/target market. Slack targeted small companies and startup. Teams targets corporations.

A lot of its design decisions make sense in this context: for example, the reason "you have to invite, to be invited, to already know who to speak to" in Teams is that because you can't exactly fit 10 000 employees and an unbounded number of contractors and external parties in a vertical list, and tell the users to scroll through it. At this size, you need some discovery / matching process to even figure out who to write.

This also drives many of the "barriers" in Teams - you can't expose everyone to everyone else by default, because the CPU (and the notification counter) would have trouble keeping up. Instead, with everything being need-to-know by default, a new employee is going to start in a small, cozy team space, and gradually expand their list of contacts and team memberships. However, they're not actually isolated - the megacorp is still there, thousands of teams, tens of thousands of people, all accessible through that unassuming search bar at the top.
Nobody is able to use Parti or eDiff. Compared to models you can use, the experimental Dall-e or Bing Image Creator is second only to midjourney in my experience.

He conducted 'gain of function' research when it was not permitted per the funding he was given, so he did violate that contract. And if it is proven that the lab leak occurred, and the subsequent deaths are the cause of that violation, couldn't he and others be held for some form of homicide? Negligent homicide? I mean a DUI resulting in a death of someone is treated as a homicide, no?

The author, while having a passing familiarity with it obviously, is clearly not a Python expert, so take all the Python stuff with a major grain of salt. Like they claim not to know how to get granular exceptions out of the requests modules:

>The requests here is a third-party package that required installation and a virtual environment to use. I don't know how to catch more granular exceptions in this example.

so I guess they even didn't RTFM:

Level 3 is the lowest level of self-driving. Level 2 and below are driver assistance features. Tesla makes very nice driver assistance features, but they have not released any features which operate the vehicle safely by itself under any circumstance.

That's why a white van may be a better choice than an obvious RV.

A white van can go and park anywhere a delivery truck can go, whereas RVs may get unwanted attention.

I had a plan to walk a half marathon last year. High impact has never agreed with me, even when I was young, but definitely not now. Everything got put on hold when I got diagnosed with arthritis but I’m trying to get back in now.

If I recall correctly runners estimate about 1 second per km per extra pound carried. That might not hold for body weight (cyclists had an old 1:2:10 rule of thumb that suggests that it might be better to lose 5 lbs than spend a fortune on a pack/bike that weighs 1 lb less, but that rule has been challenged and I don’t know what the new wisdom is.

Edit: kilometers not miles.

"Better standard"?

It may be more widely available, the plug is a bit smaller, but it's not objectively 'better'. It does not support 800V, something CCS does even today.
There will never be a better representation of what's wrong with crypto platforms than this tweet[1] here demonstrating the sheer ignorance at every level (tech, finance, regulation, etc) from its biggest proponents. Also very hilarious.

No thanks. PowerShell seems to have all sorts of crazy gotchas in addition to the weird syntax.

For example, if I understand correctly, your "cat $path" won't actually work for all filenames, because "cat" is an alias [1] for "Get-Content -Path" which will expand wildcards in the filename [2][3], so you have to know to use "-LiteralPath" instead of you want it to work properly.

And then there's Microsoft's telemetry, which is enabled by default. [4]

Does it sound silly if I say things like "Maybe let's not grow rice in Texas using water from the Colorado"? Or maybe "Hey, let's emphasize the farms where the water already is instead of ones where the water isn't"?

I'm talking about businesses, yes. Many of which will, as you say, need multiple years to start up elsewhere. I freely and readily acknowledge that this will probably be a difficult process for those businesses. Fortunately, food supply chains are now globe-spanning and de-emphasizing agriculture in drought-prone parts of the US is very unlikely to result in food shortages, much less famine.

We could start more gently by having them pay a fair price for the natural resources they require and are thus not available for everything else that needs water.
Technically, since the Venezuelan government doesn’t want people laundering money with crypto, most people there are likely committing crimes and tax evasion with it.
