There are also lots of innovations in keeping things running smoothly. And the wonks in those fields recognize those innovations and those innovative folks do tend to enjoy _some_ level of fame or notoriety (if not at a general public level).

I wonder what kind of gun would you need to chase away an orca. I'm going to assume 9mm wouldn't even penetrate their thick skin and subskin fat.
And this is why I have a hard time seeing Firebase as more than a toy (to be fair I think Amplify is a toy as well but at least it's built on things I don't see going away: s3, dynamodb, appsync, etc).

I hate that I'm forced to use Firebase to send push notifications and google analytics.
For the second part of your question regarding style and postprocessing: In terms of style, what really helped was to use "--style raw" and also to give it very specific locations like "…in a contemporary art museum". I had a whole bunch of these which where randomly added to the prompt. In terms of postprocessing, I upscaled the images with Stable Diffusion locally (using imaginAIry) and then added some grain, but that's it.

How is it purely economics, when it was a political will to create "business friendly" trade relations. This "pure economics" is playing right into various gangster despots hands.
I can do it during work hours, but not really outside that. Or I dunno, maybe young people wouldn't mind doing mentoring sessions after 8:30pm and that would be a more enriching way for me to unwind than zoning out with an ever-diminishing number of interesting TV shows?
I suspect that it is longer term economic trends that are driving the changes. For thousands of years humanity was primarily agrarian, and all of our social structures were built around that. Before that, as Hunter-gatherers our social structures were something else.

The industrial and agricultural revolutions have only recently allowed most of us to live in cities and do other work than trying to grow enough food to survive. And so new ways of living are arising that work for people in the new era.

We are probably going to see a lot more variety in living arrangements before things settle into a new normal. I wish I could be around for the next couple hundred years to see it all happen!
I quite like to read an article like this from time to time, because it can be motivating when your ambitions are low.

However, I also believe that it can be detrimental and even lead to burn-out or depression if you actually believe that putting in the work, and putting it in in a good way, will lead you to success. This seems like a recipe for disaster.

Is it not more likely that most historically successful people just stumbled on the promising gaps almost by accident? The concepts of "thrownness" and "survivorship bias" might be relevant to look up in this context. Is it possible to train curiosity, ambition, intelligence, passion, perseverance, if you did not grow up with it?
Honestly, Nestle has done worse. Like promoting detrimental baby formula to women in poor countries leading to poisoning and malnutrition of infants.

I'm honestly convinced the only reason a lot of companies don't torpedo teenagers is because they can't.
The term "institutional racism" is such a strawman argument. It acts as a catch all for essentially claiming institutions, coincidentally universities and government, are 100% racist. That just doesn't hold water given the past twenty years of these very same institutions doing everything they can legally and illegally do to boost minority inclusion.

The ugly truth is that everyone is racist to a degree, no matter the color of their skin, and any opportunity or requirement that a person be judged on the color of their skin is unconstitutional.
To be fair almost everyone in the west thought the Russians would win in a short amount of time at the beginning of the war.
I love sigma and have been using it for years, but I'm already starting to look for alternatives.

Your understanding of how people ought to make conclusions and operate in the world is deeply flawed. No one, including you, has the time and means to find the level of specificity you seem to require in order to decide what their impressions are in terms of the motives of other people.

Republicans during Obama’s Presidency many times passed legislation to dismantle the ACA. They did so knowing he would veto the bills. He did so. When they gained both houses of Congress and the Presidency they didn’t dismantle it. The ACA is still around. They have no replacement idea for it because it’s already their idea.

We won’t agree on anything. You consider minor differences between Romneycare and what the Heritage Foundation proposed on the 90s to what was implemented by the ACA sufficient to conclude that the ACA wasn’t a Republican idea. It’s like saying a car’s color isn’t red because it’s ruby red and not perfectly, exactly red. This isn’t how reasoned discourse is done. No amount of nitpicking will dissuade an objective person from thinking that Obamacare is close enough to Romneycare to qualify for the label of a Republican idea.

I’ve noticed over the years that you engage in this tactic quite often. Someone talks at a general level and your response is to nitpick at the fine details. It’s as if you don’t understand how language is used in everyday conversation. You are like the people who say the Soviet Union wasn’t communist because they never implemented true communism. They ignore how the word was used in normal colloquially. While it was never truly communist it is correct to say that it was a communist nation.

Substantive policy actions are different than mere words.

This is naivety in the extreme. Republicans passed legislation to allow 9/11 victims to sue Saudi Arabia. Obama signed it. Then McConnel blamed Obama for signing it. Political grandstanding happens.

I’ve been on this site since the beginning. I create a new account periodically. We gone back and forth several times. I will never respond to you again.

According to Red Hat it is. If you don't believe them you can get a Developer subscription to get a RHEL ISO to compare with a CentOS Stream ISO. I imagine a lot of people, myself included, would be interested in the analysis of that.
> Why not throw more manpower at the problem?

Oh, of course.
This is a oddly very narrow view of ambition.
The more likely scenario, at least in the US, is that if your business is already using some legit licensed software from the same publisher, the publisher invokes a contractual right to audit licenses at your business. They find a bunch of unlicensed copies, and send you a huge bill. No police, just a civil matter, but potentially very expensive for the business.

When I still did systems engineering work (2001-2011), I personally saw Microsoft conduct a license audit. No one in the organization was using pirated software, but we still got a big bill because the reseller we bought licenses from misrepresented what some of those licenses covered. In that case, MS was willing to chalk it up to an honest mistake as long as we uninstalled the software from the systems that the licenses didn't cover. I doubt they'd have been willing to do that if we'd been running actual cracked versions of their products.

Oh no doubt, things are always improving. While I have not yet used it, happy for the recent json enhancements (personally, I would always prenormalize to standard JSON instead of naively ingesting JSON5).

Datetime is definitely one of my SQLite sore spots, so happy to see improvements there. I have to consult the docs + experimentation every time I need to do something with time manipulation. Even then, I usually left a bit disappointed with the available functionality.
I want commit messages to matter. I want to be able to pull up a line on git blame and see why it was there, and commit messages tell you that.

In any case, I wasn't the engineer responsible for merging things to the development branch. And that person worked by doing the merge in github, without squashing anything. If you git hygiene sucked your PR gets rejected.
> This is not shadowing. Or at least not any definition of variable shadowing that I've ever seen.

Then this is just a flavor that you haven't seen. https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/ch03-01-variables-and-mutabil...

> Variable shadowing is allowing a variable of the same name as an existing variable, but within a different scope.

By different scope you mean there's an inner scope and then there's an enclosing scope, where the inner scope has access to the outer scope but not vice versa. This (Rust's shadowing) more or less works and feels the same, but the difference is that additionally allows variable shadowing to be done within the same scope.

> The difference in scope is absolutely critical

I would agree with you if the way that Rust implements shadowing took away the ability to do what you're talking about, but that remains in place. You just have the extra option of redefining an immutable variable within the same scope as well, so it's purely additive.

Personally I don't think there's anything bad with variable shadowing within the same scope, as at times it can be useful and help avoid mistakes. It's like, there are times when you are fine with original variable never coming back into scope, and you now have the ability to do that. I don't see any problems or dangers from that, especially if normal closure/block scope variable shadowing remains.
Clearly something is working, they have a much lower homicide rate than the US. I'm against gun bans, but I'm not going to act like the homicide rates are similar, the US is a (relative to other western nations, if that's our cut off) a very violent country.
This article is just "string concatenation bad, automatic machinery for URL encoding good", just with the extra zest of blaming template literals (the true name for "backtick strings"). This is something we learned 30 years ago with SQL injection.

In reality, template literals aren't the problem. In fact, it'd be trivial to write a tagged template literal function that auto-encoded all parameters you passed to it anyway - I'm sure one already exists in package form somewhere.

This is a red herring. Template literals aren't your issue.

Both are to be blamed but parents have 80% of the blame here.
Excellent article. I always loved 1-1 tutoring, but in grad school I discovered I hated teaching. I read the wiki page and some of the paper, then got to thinking about it more.

It feels like the difference between watching TV and playing a video game. In one case the content is the same for everyone, and you're passively consuming it at the pace set by the broadcaster/teacher. The other case is considerably more interactive and engaging. The pace, difficulty, and even storyline can be adjusted according to the player's abilities and choices.

Why are you taking the sentence out of context to change its meaning? TFA says it was a good business move by Microsoft for Microsoft because it fragmented the competition which had been consolidating around CORBA. What happened to it afterwards is irrelevant.
Orcas haven't been ramming boats for decades. Now, all of a sudden, we're seeing the behavior crop up all over the place. This is new behavior that is being communicated and taught.

Imagine when they discover that there are calorie sources aboard the ships. Orcas are known to eat terrestrial mammals such as swimming deer and moose. They've been observed hunting swimming dogs.
As I understand it (not a lawyer!): When you have a business relation with Red Hat (agreed to their T&C) and you choose to use the GPL-ed sources outside of the T&C you agreed, Red Hat has the right to terminate this business relation. The GPL-ed Sources you got during that business relation are under the terms of the GPL and thus it is within your rights after the business relation is terminated to use those sources anyway you like within the terms of the GPL. If you don’t like this arrangement, do not use RHEL.
> But with the internet, you can find the absolute best book or video or tutorial in the whole world that blows your local teacher out of the water.

To agree with you to some extent, the author fails to consider that you're often not looking for random unrelated things. Finding one really great answer online often provides you with a really great resource for other really great answers.
I think of features like this on a regular basis that this site needs. Then I catch myself. It's feature-creep like that which has killed practically everything else.
>the fact that predators anywhere could now see the video

I've seen this worry expressed before, but I don't understand it.

Do you feel like your son is more likely to be a victim of a given predator that comes across the video because it went viral? Or some other consequence?

That doesn't seem likely at all considering sexual assault or similar IIRC is usually done by someone you know already.
I think something that would be awesome would be human teachers scaling themselves via AIs. Like students having an escalation path to say "wait, I'm confused and the AI isn't helping!" and have the teacher step in to try to help. Or even better, step in to help proactively after the AI says "hey, this person is asking questions or answering things in a way that makes me think they are confused, maybe take a look?".

If someone is already building something like this, I'd love to hear about it :)

I think the issue is that there should have been a plan in place to create an equivalent in functionality even if it isn't an exact copy. The US doesn't need Stingers, they need something/anything that functions as a MANPAD.

Not having a way to increase production of Stingers is acceptable, but they've apparently done nothing since 1987 to make sure they have a viable blueprint for scaling production of a critical part of any modern military. That's the real story here, because it shows a fundamental problem in how the US military procures things and there is most likely similar issues all over the place for other critical things(artillery shells have similar shortages). How does the military not have a plan for war breaking out and needing to scale production? That's supposed to be their core job
I used to be thrilled with big sets because they were… well, big.

I was reading recently the story of Christopher Robin, and how using his childhood stories in Winnie the Pooh haunted to him for the rest of his life and made him a subject of bullying.

A single whaler in 1820 versus a spate of events since a few months back seem rather unrelated, orcas have not been ramming boats all over for the last two centuries.

Though I guess it’s possible that they’re also avenging or preemptively defending themselves.
Misconceptions are insidious because you don't know what you don't know (e.g. boneappletea, france is bacon).

A private tutor, coach-like, can observe and correct, and fill in gaps. I think this applies to all fields of endeavour. It won't make you smarter, but gives you a foundation for the next level - where, maybe, some intuitive smarts of yours will shine.

Now, the only problem is simply finding a good tutor. You just need to know if they know what you don't know you don't know.
well thats a nice he GNU Hurd can do excell in.
I’m not getting the arguments she is writing about. Predators: yes that is a risk, but it’s as much of a risk as walking outside. Child getting mad at parents for posting when they grow up: again everything has risk this is almost negligible risk because social media is so pervasive on society, they will likely understand why parents posted.

What I find wrong is parents just showing off their kids for likes, a occasional bday pic is fine but every freaking meal or play day is just screams, I need likes today
I’m mostly surprised that they stopped the production line without any planned replacement. It sounds like the US still doesn’t have plans to develop a new MANPAD or even a new stinger variant. Was there really a point where the US military thought MADPADs weren’t going to be important in conflict, or was it just so low on the priorities list that it wasn’t taken up?
Here's a recent piece on a change going on in systematic trading engineering:

THE GIG ECONOMY COMES FOR HEDGE FUNDS

Platforms that offer money managers the freedom to build a business and maximize their return on performance while removing the hurdles of launching independently could change financial markets.

If the trend continues it could have a big effect on financial markets by making it easier for a wider assortment of unconventional managers to rise in the industry and offering investors better and cheaper access to them. …

Well-received start-up ClearAlpha Technologies has moved closest to the gig model. Its first offering is a commingled fund apportioned among its managers, but it has the platform to act as an exchange, matching investors to individual managers or customized portfolios of managers, cutting out all the expense of intermediaries.

there is a potential downside to this kind of action.

This is the exact reason I still pay for Pandora (music streaming service): to remove the advertisements.

My dentist's office doesn't pay for this service, so I have to hear advertisements while under the drill... which is frustrating. I've even offered to pay for Doc's subscription!
I would go in the other direction. The US has 50 competing private services for transferring money and billing and any of them can simply ban you. In Europe small companies (unless you are a webstore) aren't really expected to accept credit cards and often just ask for a wire transfer. All that's needed is a bank account number because interoperability is between banks is legislated. You can usually encode the amount due and account number in a link or QR code too.

I realize stripe offers a lot more than just the actual payment but it's messed up that except for cash, exchanging money for services in the US basically requires you to use a private system from day one of your startup.
Matrix tries to solve this with matrix.to (https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix.to), which will eventually hopefully segue into a separate matrix:// protocol in URIs.
Well 20 years ago was the dot com crash that wiped out an incredible amount of economic activity in the US.

2013 was still suffering from the after effects of the great recession that caused massive unemployment and a incredible increase in suffering.

How are current economic conditions worse than two of the greatest crashes in US history? YoY inflation is drastically slowing and unemployment is at record lows.

The economy is doing pretty goddamn amazingly right now
I get that you really really love git, but I am not you, nor is anyone else. We all have our own preferences. I don't like typing in tons of commands do so something simple when other tools exist. I like neat commits with a tidy explanation as to why they are there (preferably including the ticket/issue number), and I like them to persist through the life of the software.

> And you really don’t see the issue with non atomic syncing for code repositories using DropBox?

The only problem that ever came up in five years of this was that I could occasionally get a conflict if I switched too quickly. But that was easy to resolve, and Dropbox would always sync within 5 to 10 seconds. And no we did not have a network share to work from. The wifi in the building was horrendous so it was preferable to have everything local.
