That is incorrect for scientific data. The limitations are:

a) Massive data volumes (~100 Gb - 1 Pb/project)

ai) This means that data is typically stored on limited access machines like HPC clusters

bi) This also means that shipping this data around is financially expensive, and cannot be supported purely by small client machines

b) A low number of seeders; scientific data is not exactly popular, and there may be network restrictions on uploads through the typically used networks;

c) The requirement for a data legacy; torrents are fantastic for ephemeral data (e.g. operating system builds), but are terrible for data that must be archived and kept for potentially decades to centuries.
> Piper is not a reimplementation of Perforce, by the way.

Yes, it is. You are probably confusing Piper, the internal name for the VCS, with Google Piper [1], which is a completely separate and unrelated project. That project seems a closer match to Monomake.

This was a common problem with Google, actually. There would be an internal name but once released it would take on a different name. Sometimes that name would conflict with a different internal name, which then made internal searches impossible. I forget the specifics, but Buzz became an external product but was an internal product name for something different.

Dart (the language) was internally known as Dash prior to release. IIRC Google Dash was an external thing for advertisers or something like that.

So when I say Piper I really do mean the internal rewrite of Perforce.

If you're going to lose weight through appetite surpassing medicine, you will lose muscle mass along side with fat. If you're not careful, you might become fatter as you become more skinny, hence 'skinny fat'.

Similar experience but my reason for staying in the US is purely for the weather and the money. Life in Canada is so much more pleasant than any city I've lived in in the US.
I'm not saying that's all the reason. But the thing - and another commenter mentioned - is that you kinda HAVE to live in one of those few cities if you want to work in a top company, or don't hate your live because of the winter.

Whereas in the US you have way more options.

We are building in Canada, but because of local regulations and just the fact that everybody wants to live in those few 3 or 4 major cities, it's way more difficult. Prices in other cities are WAY more reasonable.

I recently read an article which I found through hacker news and tried it with chatgpt.

Here's the article:

What I tried-

(Prompt): Generate all the possible typos people can make for the word 'cat'

(Reply): Sure! Here are some possible typos that people might make when typing the word "cat":

1. car
2. vat
3. cut
4. cst
5. caf
6. cay
7. xat
8. caat
9. catt
10. ca
11. catr
12. acat
13. cta
14. caty
15. cta

Please note that these are just a few examples and there can be many more possible typos depending on the individual's typing habits.

(Prompt): Consider that s/he is using a QWERTY keyboard

(Reply): Certainly! Taking into account the QWERTY keyboard layout, here are some additional possible typos for the word "cat":

1. vat
2. xat
3. cwt
4. caf
5. cay
6. dat
7. cta
8. cxr
9. car
10. czt
11. cut
12. vwt
13. xzt
14. vat
15. cac
16. cag
17. can
18. cah
19. cvt
20. cbt

Again, these are just a few examples, and there could be more variations depending on the specific typographical errors made while using a QWERTY keyboard.

Either way, I can't see how this is a problem with the wood itself. The structural design and material properties have to be specified in a compatible way. The only three options are the spec is wrong, the materials are out of spec, or the engineer considers it a non-issue.

It appears they utilize a passive system to dampen the effect of vessel movement, whereas in many (most?) other cases compensation is done actively by the traction unit (the twin drums with the rope looped over them in the center of the photo) and the storage winch (bottom) being wired to an accelerometer installed on the vessel.

I guess the navy uses the passive system as it will be good enough and does not require that you spend time figuring out the vessel geometry to input the data into the winch control system - which is just another source of problems when you're in a hurry.

I like this, it seems they've made the kit as simple and robust as possible while still fulfilling its intended purpose.

Canada never had a housing correction in 2008, despite a similar run up in prices like the US.

If you think the recent US bubble is bad, imagine adding it on top of the 2008 bubble (minus the crash) and you have Canada.

Before the most recent correction in Canada, the average sale price in Canada was double that of the US. Let that sink in. A country with lower wages, higher taxes, no 30 year fixed mortgages had an average sale price of double the US.

Seems like an odd choice when talking about the cross product, since the cross product is only a thing in 3D. You can define analogous things in other dimensions but it becomes clearer and clearer that it’s not meaningfully a ‘product’.

So it doesn’t matter if your visual intuition for a cross product breaks down in higher dimensions - a cross product is only a thing in three.
If you'd explain why such things are childish we can have a conversation about it, just calling things names to evoke certain aversion based on some black-and-white worldview that categorises them in "correct" and "wrong" is anti-intellectual, and so certainly childish.

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if somebody starts suggesting this. Since the rulers have determined that it is better to hire foreigners as it is so expensive to educate locals, then it shouldn't take long before a business genius comes up with the idea to send all native children to these foreign countries at birth, to be educated for cheap and then sent back to work. I mean, it only makes business sense, doesn't it?

I think you are right. But why don't they say they are against "Trans Rights" rather than against "Woke". I still think being against "Woke" means you don't want to say what it is you are against.

Check it with a cryptographic hash. With I/O bottleneck, and assuming a SSD at 300 MB/s, that should bring the latency to 3 ms, well below human perception. Even the 60 MB/s of slow HDDs should be more than fine.

It's not a lie if the author believes that it's true. People are way too trusting of their senses and memories when both have been shown to be extremely fallible under numerous different circumstances. Remember how suggestible victims had been convinced that they participated in satanic sex rituals during the satanic panic[1]? Why is it out of the realm of possibility that the author is recounting a particularly vivid dream or hallucination that became more "real" the more he thought about it?

Then consider how closely the form of alien sightings matches depictions in popular media. In the 60 it's "little green men", in the 90s it's "greys". Either we have waves of different aliens visiting us, or people are having experiences they can't rationally explain and their brain is filling in the gaps with stuff they've seen in the media.

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michelle_Remembers

Edit: Another question to ponder: The chances of someone having a camera on them at any given moment is now approaching 100%, but the volume of convincing footage of UFO/alien sighting is as small as it was in 1990. Are people just not filming this stuff for some reason or are the aliens getting sneakier?
> sin(x) is the sinus function with the angle implicitly divided by 1 radian

This to me sounds like the most natural explanation. For example, in a sibling comment someone mentioned that "you can calculate e^(-t)", but I disagree: in physics it's always e^(-t / T), where T is some time constant, so that the argument of the exponential is dimensionless. Same applies to sin(x): usually we write something like sin(2pi f t), where the units of f and t cancel out, and the 2pi is there to cancel out the invisible implicit 1 radian. sin(ft) would be wrong, at t = 1 / f you wouldn't have advanced by a full cycle.

It seems to me, with those numbers, that the big problem with sudo is not the language it is written in but the extremely large attack surface.

I would guess that for 1 out of every million invocations of sudo, all that extra functionality is needed. For the rest of the time, its merely being used to execute a single command as root.

We could make systems more secure by simply removing sudo from those systems that don't use that extra functionality, and replace it with doas.

> no-one likes working with other people's code or solutions

I think there's a frequent cause to this... It's difficult to know the requirements and constraints in place when that code or solution came to be. Many of us would have done something very similar, at least in spirit, under the same conditions. But those conditions constantly change and we tend to judge solutions based on current conditions. Try judging your own solutions by current conditions years after developing them and they sometimes won't look as good as you remember then being. When doing that, it's tempting to think "but x wasn't available and we didn't know y." With other people's solutions, we often lack the knowledge to be aware of those justifications. Investigating to find some of those justifications has helped me better figure out when replacing something is the right or wrong thing to do.

You're never concentrating the PFAS, so at worst you're bringing poor sap's new PFAS concentration closer to your own pre-transfusion levels.

So the question is whether they need the blood more than you did pre-transfusion. If they did, then you're still commiting a net positive. If not, then it serves them right for requesting a blood donation despite needing it less than did an individual who was ready to donate their own.

Unless the blood is going to research, in which case it is a net positive regardless.
