I daresay you’re one of the people here having a political debate, i.e. supporting a vision of your own linguistic community’s history based solely on your own gut feeling, and apparently unaware that your objections have already been dealt with among scholars for a good long time now.

The scenario that Romanian arrived from across the Danube does not require that the Romanian Carpathians were completely depopulated. Rather, it is possible that the region’s inhabitants first switched to Slavic – this is supported by a great deal of toponymic evidence – and then later both language shift and the arrival of other populations resulted in the extinction of the Transylvanian and Oltenian dialects of Common Slavonic in favor of Romanian and Hungarian instead.

Then, the contemporary view of the relationship between Romanian and Aromanian is not that they were mere sister dialects of Latin but split up at a much later date – they are too similar for an early split, and it appears that their first layer of Slavic loans is identical, so that means a split after the 6th century CE. The scenario that Romanian nationalists support requires believing that Aromanian results from Romanian speakers from Dacia migrating well to the southwest. That both Romanian and Aromanian came from the Central Balkans instead is viewed as vastly more likely, especially in the light of the advances in the reconstruction of early Albanian (because an array of evidence puts early Albanian in the Central Balkans, not Dacia).

> so after the Roman Empire abandoned Dacia and there no longer was any central administration, the locals were left to themselves

While I know that the story of their ancestors “left to themselves” after Rome withdrew from Dacia persists in Romanian pop culture, it never fit well with the facts. Romanian words like biserica ‘church’ suggest that Romanian’s Latin ancestor remained in contact with the rest of the Mediterranean world for a long time, because only after Constantine in the 4th century were basilica buildings used as Christian churches. Again, this would be easily explainable by an origin in the Central Balkans where those cultural contacts persisted.
Even in Ohio we're having trouble this year. It didn't rain for four weeks, and our garden shows it.
> that's just not true. so unless the votes were >90% in favor of banning, there's always going to be someone's morals being forced upon others.

And that cuts both ways.

Consider someone who for whatever reason would want alcohol to be prohibited for their own sake. So they would like freedom from alcohol.

Coincidentally though, what “freedom” is in the context of commerce ultimately boil down to the freedom of commercial outlets to sell things. If they can’t sell a thing? Well that’s unfreedom. But the so-called consumer is always pushed in front of them.
I guess I am not seeing your point. We know that human drivers severely impede fire response. This has only intensified in the Uber/Lyft era in central cities like SF and NY. The only known solution is to simply take road space away from human drivers, as we have seen with the lowered fire response times in Paris as bike lanes are being expanded. You can't count on human mass action to get out of the way of a fire truck. Anyone who lives in Manhattan has watched an FDNY truck blast its horn for minutes while drivers just stand there.

4. They, like me, feel the need to engage in various communities less-and-less as they get older. After spending 30+ years sitting in front of a computer I find the need to engage in a "community" far less than when I was young and my Ego had more Vigor.
That's the problem with "contractors". You don't get to dictate how they do the work. If you do, they become employees under labor law.
Stoicism isn’t so great when you live in a war zone
I'm going to go out on a limb and say the US Coast Guard (not Navy) and the Canadians were deployed because the mini-sub went missing off the coast of America and not off the coast of Greece in the Mediterranean. By that logic, they could just as easily dispatch the Indian Navy.
Often I find myself most productive (about work) during non-work hours. I wonder if has something to do with what you are saying.
If you take 10 exact same calculators and perform the same operation, you're going to get the same result on all 10. Why? It's a program running on the same hardware. If this hypothetical fleet of robocars are all on the same hardware using the same software, they are essentially the same machine. This one of the key things we've been told about how much safer robocars will be compared to humans. These robocars are not sentient making unique decisions. They all have the same set of logic in them. Your logic just does not compute with me.

Edit: also, it's the same as a recall to me. If one part is deployed to thousands of cars, all of them are recalled. Same applies here for me.
Artificial intelligence is a familiar-looking monster
The virtual environment reminds me something described by u/patches765 (a user active on reddit regarding DND sessions). Basically he was active in a Startrek MUD decades ago for a while, and one of the administrator asked him to perform a task: take a (virtual) dog and do some scripting, so that he can assess his programming ability.

Now that this is definitely not a new idea, but I'd imagine, in the future, if the metaverse does sprang up, maybe we will see the same thing: Hey John Doe here is a widget which is a small window in the metaverse room 211, please write a script and make it interesting, you can do anything.

That definitely sounds very interesting. Man since I have a macbook pro at work, I might actually try it out, at least in the simulator.
No, not even in an Alanis Morissette way.
I would think the strategy is to get people in the door with a free terminal app and up sell them to other services they [will] offer.
The discrepancy in coverage is due to a discrepancy in novelty. If it were 5 rich guys going missing on a small sailboat, we wouldn't be hearing about it. It's because they went missing in a submarine, and also because of the Titanic connection.

You've probably heard of Kim Wall. She wasn't rich, but she was murdered on a submarine so that became international news too.
> there are MOUNTAINS more homeless people than most cities fund helping

Last time I checked San Francisco spends something like $50,000 per year per homeless person. It's not a lack of funding in some places.

Typically-inconsistent Christian apologetics; the Biblical God "made us in his image" – but then cursed us with hunger and toil and the pain of childbirth specifically because we ate from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. (And banished us from the Garden in fear that we'd eat from the Tree of Life.)
That's cool, but when I say it out loud it sounds like a different word for penis.

The name should just change.

Then look at apex predators. They spend most of their time resting. Their efforts in hunting are extremely focused. Lions are not 'griding' yet they dominate the savannah.
> I find that they tend to manipulate people into buying things they don't actually want

This just seems silly. When was the last time you came home from the store with something, look around “I don’t have a use for this? Why did I buy this?”

And I don’t run an ad blocker because I equate it with petty theft. Sites offer you content. Content costs money to create and host. They offer it in exchange for showing you ads. If you don’t like someone’s terms in a barter you don’t morally get to take their side for free.

Why it's so hard to fix the information ecosystem
I assume the end goal is something like Cyberpunk 2077, where you have a HUD always, so if you go get a cup of coffee whilst working, you can, and still fidget with things as you do, or what have you, maybe you're about to go to lunch and miss a message that could prevent one of the worst outages of your company, or whatever, I'm just trying to see the net good that people will figure out over time if its done correctly, but there's likely to be something people will come to enjoy about it. I would also assume you would want as many RDP type of applications on this platform as you possibly can have, and if Apple is not pushing companies that make RDP apps to be on their platform or other useful app makers onto their platform, then they're really dropping the ball early.
And if we ban people from interacting with each other altogether, violence can go to 0!

People have to be given the autonomy to live their own lives. People have to be trusted by default not to violate the rights of others, because what other choice do we have? We are all just here, no rhyme or reason for it. And then, if someone hurts other people, that person should be fiercely and very publicly punished.
Right now whisper would probably be good enough™ to caption them.

hope it adds a client side router, and provides a true SPA mode(not the sveltekit stuff), before then, no plan to use svelte again as my use cases is 100% SPA with 0% SSR, absolutely nothing with SSR.
If it's a long-haul (14h, above) flight, they're almost always there. And if you're plonking down $3.5k for an AVP, chances are you're flying business, which (again, long-haul) is a pod of your own. Definitely there, then.

Not to mention, this is an M2 device, it'll sip power.
True. Then again, maybe masking that problem with some relief from daily commutes to work is not really a great solution. Recent layoffs in the industry were a good reminder for me that it's easy to be overly emotionally tied to your work.
We're discussing one right now. VSCode is an electron-based application, isn't overly-bloated, and starts up quickly. I switch between IJ and VSC every day and VSC is significantly faster, including startup. But, even if it _was_ slower on startup, that would be a tradeoff I'd be happy with if it was faster or more functional normally. I restart my computer maybe once a week, I'd be fine to wait another couple seconds.
It's still getting hotter and I'm still waiting to die from my vaccine.
a lot of great tutorials and education is out there, especially on YouTube. glad others are making use of it today. I was watching the Korean drama 'Dr Cha', and the look on her face when she found out she could watch training videos on anything, and she said something like 'this is a brave new world'.
Discord captures audio at the application level by inserting a DLL with a hook on the relevant system calls. This works remarkably well, all things considered, but it does have a couple side effects, notably the fact that if you're not streaming at the application level, audio doesn't work (they could probably work around this if they wanted to, but it's basically a natural consequence), and the fact that some applications will become unstable or crash when being streamed. It also requires every anticheat ever to whitelist Discord's DLL.
What I don't get, sorry for my own reductive attitude, is that if you volunteer for one of these projects you're working for free. If you don't like terms of project, just don't work for free?

Kind of like reddit moderator situation atm
yes.

Sometimes that can be OK, if the cyclic fatigue was from high levels of testing.

If on the other hand it happens quickly and you haven't even tested it at anywhere near the depth you expect to take it and don't have tons of testing yeah, it's really bad idea. (which seems to be the case here)
So… are you not allowed to have private subreddits any more? Is this their official stance?

All I could think of to add was that this is a small city in the middle of Australia (i.e. an outlier of sorts?). So I thought better of it... :)

I think we‘d need to compare apples to apples, and not use Monero mining as a benchmark for mCaptcha. Also, as I wrote in another comment, the average case (server is not under attack) is 0.02 seconds on a laptop, and probably 0.4s on an Android device even if we do use xmrig-android as comparison. Compare that to manually identifying stairs on pictures with crappy quality (10 seconds?).
I can't speak to career advice, but I would advise against starting a business. I've started more than I can count. It's long. It's a slog. And you're most likely going to fail. In my opinion start a business if you simply can't imagine yourself doing anything else.
I think this kind of advice is more useful when it comes from someone whose business model has nothing to do with startup lifecoaching. Otherwise it has a tendency to get a little self-serving and divorced from useful experience.
These robotaxis are operating legally with permits from the city are they not? It's nonsensical to suggest arresting the passengers sitting in a licensed robotaxi for something they have no control over. This is entirely on the city (and state?) for authorizing something that clearly isn't ready for use on public streets.
They do, kinda.

You have to go looking for it. In my testing only provides the latest few videos, not the entire back catalog. But I have a naive understanding of the RSS protocol I didn't see how to get more because they didn't expose a "next" link for the RSS feed.

VRChat is similar to Metaverse and while it hasnt exploded in popularity, its growing.

I could see it being a multi-trillion dollar thing. My retired dad is obsessed, he spends hours per day in it meeting new people and his friends from around the world. He even has become more open minded to Trans people(He has been socially liberal his whole life, but that topic he was resistant on).

He tells me about parties at clubs, celebrating holiday's like St. Patrick's day, having birthday parties, even a wedding.

Soon companies will begin monetizing it more blatantly and capitalism will feed it.

Facebook failed because Facebook is creepy and we try to avoid their products.
I hear you: not intending to ask that. I'm asking if some subset of alcohol is abused by folks emotionally unstable as an attempt to self medicate.

Generally, the people in support of DEI are fond of the expression "the personal is political" or even "everything is political", so why wouldn't DEI be political? Given that it involves the organization of society and is controversial, DEI seems like the prototypical example of something political. It would be clearer for everyone if DEI openly accepted their role as political commissars.
The truth is that until you, dear reader, are willing to give up your usage of your car and probably your AC, you are part of the problem.

And nobody is ready to hear that. But it's the truth. All this talk about "well so and so is a bigger problem" is generally not only wrong, but it's just useless finger pointing.

I no longer have a car, and I don't have AC. And I live my life accordingly. And sometimes it sucks. You should too.
It would be funnier without the life endangerment, but it is funny regardless. Practical AI can be so smart and so clueless at the same time, it's like watching a kid grow up.

I don't know if massive fines are the way to go, because they could cripple that technology, but firefighters should have free reign to shove those vehicles around when they misbehave, or some way to signal them to get the hell out of the way.
Does MOOCs do a big impact in your career after 10-15 years in the workforce? Most of them (from software-related topics) are about foundational topics and introduction to technologies. I suppose it is to get more students enrolled in the MOOC. Have you encountered any MOOC that was pivotal in your career after 10-15 years in the workforce?

TL;DR: I wonder if there are MOOCs directed to seniors. What are your favourites?
Reminder, look to what's happening on Reddit and elsewhere now for what will happen when any service has cornered the market. Even if the current owners say things will never happen, eventually deep enough pockets in search of profit will buy them out and seek that profit.
How would adding a BRIN index help in any way with reducing the discussed problems, such as write amplification?
Not really, but we might've just implicitly designed around it.

Continuously aggregating smaller windows and sending them off is roughly how we send usage to Stripe right now (which, let's be clear, is not working for us AT ALL). We've resigned ourselves to having to do the same thing if we want to use a billing SaaS, but I don't love it.
How is this different from paypal.com@notpaypal.com?
Please stop talking like this. You're not in a crusade against a monolithic force. You're raging against a billion individuals playing, generally speaking, within the rules that governments set for them.
That website is AWESOME. I also found your dribble. Your work is absolutely stunning and inspiring.
The one problem with this "perfectly" sequential UUIDs is that it can easily lead to index bloat. Imagine you have such sequential UUIDs generated over a year, for example. And then you delete e.g. 99% of old data (say, everything except some records that you're required to keep for audit purposes or whatever).

If there was an index, the "old" part will be 99% empty. For regular UUIDs this would be fine, because new entries would get routed to this part of the index and the space would be reused. Not so for sequential UUIDs (v7/v8).

This is mostly why year ago I wrote "sequential-uuids" extension, doing roughly what v7/v8 do, but wrapping the timestamp once in a while.

Of course, if you don't delete data, this is not an issue and v7/v8 will work fine.
You can adjust the density of text as a setting. Most people I know use the maximum density option, just like most people use Discord's dark mode. At that level, I don't think you'd want the text much more dense.
Sdf – Generate 3D meshes based on SDFs
I don't understand how this avoids any simple attack both for audio or video:

- Alter/manipulate the audio/video has much as you want.

- Play it.

- Have a "attested" microphone/video recording the "manipulated audio/video".

For video maybe you can actually try to prove that's recording a screen not the real event, but seems much harder for audio, you can just say the echos/ distortions came from the environment...

Just note that the body was experimental: while the hull indeed have a thick titanium body, it was mixed with (don't know exactly how and where though) carbon fibers, which are known to catastrophically break under pressure if there's even a microscopic impurity or damage. At least that's what the experts say. Carbon fibers is great for lightweight things that need to bend, terrible for things to be relied under pressure.
If you pre share symmetric keys, you are only dependent on symmetric keys. Symmetric key cryptography is mostly quantum safe already, although you may need to double your key size.
> Where you e.g. cannot coordinate the creation of your primary keys.

You are writing your data into a DBMS. Coordinating the creation of primary keys is one of the cheapest tasks around, if you can't do that, how is your database still online?

> Or where you cannot allow them to be predictable.

You don't need to export your PKs for the rest of the world. You can have non-predictable data outside of your PK. Yes, a different column will still have some of the problems with index maintenance, but it becomes a much smaller problem if only one table cares about the value.
It wasn't private before, it was made private in protest. I think they are just automatically messaging mods of subreddits that were public before the protests and are now private.

My overall take on this is people have a weird relationship with reddit.
> The government is constructing a 620-mile pipeline to bring desalinated water from the Sea of Oman to Sistan and Baluchistan province and other parts of Iran. But even with such measures, it will be a struggle to reverse Iran’s rapid descent into water bankruptcy, experts said.
Seems like it. Maybe Reddit mods should just open their communities but just stop moderating..
There are many places that are doing better than the US (which is 4ᵀᴴ from the bottom). Addressing affordable housing close to places of employment seems to be pretty helpful most places it’s tried. AFAICT, NIMBYism prevents that in most large cities (though why a tent city is preferable is beyond my understanding). I agree with decriminalization, but also that individuals should be able to function within a social framework. For those that can’t (not those who won’t), services should be provided to allow that person to thrive in the capacity that they can in the most minimally invasive way possible.
That's been in the news in the US too. Also very sad, obviously.

I get the impression that this submersible situation has been continuously in the news for days because the status has been unresolved for days.
By far the most interesting admission from a brief flip-through:

Consider how environmental factors impact your app. The characteristics of your physical environment can affect system load and thermals of the device. Consider the effect that ambient room temperature, the presence of other people, and the number and type of real-world objects can have on the your app‘s algorithms.

The fact that they’re so prominently focusing on this seems like a soft indication that this device (at least in V1?) is not suited for exercise or sunny outdoor use. Which makes sense, but adds some finality to a “will people use these outside/in public” discussion I was having on here last week
I'm jaded because I know there is a cottage industry of attorneys who go around suing for ADA violations. I wouldn't be surprised if there is some special interest group that goes around claiming automated captions aren't good enough and using them violates their client's civil rights.
That's a reason to critique Discord, but not a reason to not understand the value proposition that enabled widespread adoption.
The most important thing to know about Svelte is that it doesn't have a runtime. All the magic occurs in places that look magic, and all the magic happens at compile time; at runtime it's simply a library. By contrast, React's VDOM system not only adds significant cognitive complexity but performs terribly too.
FWIW we used to do 72 people EQ1 raids fine with vent. Although i think someone was paying 5-10$/month for it. Often another 20-30 in some other channels as well.

A bot that is doing this is tantamount to a person doing it, since a person made the bot and a person installed the bot.
