Over about 50 years, maybe.

Put it this way, I've replaced maybe a dozen "bad caps" in equipment in 35 years of repairing high-end musical kit, six of which were in one 1970s synthesizer made from very cheap parts.

But, I've done very well out of the fashion for "re-capping" equipment because I charge 300 quid before I even start to consider clearing a spot on the bench for stuff that's been "re-capped" before they bring it to me to fix.

The edge case is actually quite common-- many authors mostly survive off their entire body of work, not just the works published recently. This was an issue in e.g. Disney, who refused to pay royalties to Star Wars books published many many years ago because they claimed to have purchased assets but not liabilities. One of the authors who was suing for royalties needed the money for cancer treatments. Bad look.

5k/work is not cheap. That's how much publishers may pay for a book. 15k/work is prohibitively expensive for books.

The challenge with a separate attribute is that it is not forward compatible with new features we might add to pods around ordering and lifecycle. If we used a simple boolean, eventually we’d have to have it interact with other fields and deal with conflicting behaviors between what “sidecar” means and more flexibility.

The only difference today between init containers and regular containers is:

a) init containers have an implicit default restart policy of OnFailure, and regular containers inherit the pods restartPolicy

b) init containers are serial, regular containers are parallel

We are leaving room for the possibility that init containers can fail the pod, and be parallelized, as well as regular containers having unique restartPolicies. Both of those would allow more control for workflow / job engines to break apart monolith containers and get better isolation.

The key design point was that “sidecars aren’t special containers” - because we want to leave room for future growth.
I think things like monads and linear/affine types have their place, and I actually quite like lenses in functional languages (even Jax uses them in disguise to safely modify arrays in-place).

I don’t think string diagrams make it any easier to write out an ODE for modeling a physical process.

Have a look at YugabyteDB. Fully distributed Postgres with geo data placement constraints, replication, read replicas, joins, triggers, Postgres extensions. It's actual Postgres under the hood. They offer managed solutions but YugabyteDB can be self-hosted and the database is Apache 2 licensed.

Why would deploying 2048 bit RSA be a mistake? If you believe 2048 is threatened in a meaningful time frame, when 1024 hasn't even been broken (thus sort of implying that the collapse of 2048 will occur in a much shorter time frame than the one separating 512 and 1024), is there any realistic RSA key size that should make you comfortable?
I have always been fascinated by the problem of quantum gravity but, well, it somehow happened "too late", after I got also very deeply into "computing" (mostly HPC, GPGPU, rendering). Does anybody know if there is a way for somebody with my background to actually help/contribute in advancing this field?
I had to double check that the date on the post wasn't 10 years ago.
In general, the intent here is to leave open room for just that.

dependsOn was proposed during the kep review but deferred. But because init containers and regular containers share the same behavior and shape, and differ only on container restart policy, we are taking a step towards “a tree of container node” without breaking forward or backward compatibility.

Given the success of mapping workloads to k8s, the original design goal was to not take on that complexity originally, and it’s good to see others making the case for bringing that flexibility back in.
On the threads app it seems clear that they want to support Mastodon in the future, all the usernames have an “@threads.net” label that doesn’t make sense to have unless they are going to support other URL’s in the future.
My understanding is that the Higgs field should be simpler than gravity because it's just a static value whereas gravity is SU(1)? At least to me it seems logical that if the Higgs is quantized, surely more complicated fields would be as well?

>It is really impressive that people who are working with probability and likelihood every day do not understand the difference

i think i come away from the whole experience (the phd, even though i'm not done yet) with a deep skepticism/cynicism of very many things. but it's probably not what you expect. i just don't think the math is at all relevant/important epistemically as long as you can run the experiments efficiently. which is exactly what you see happening - people with access to gobs of compute develop good intuition that leads them towards breakthroughs, and people that don't have access to compute struggle and make do with the formalisms. it's not much different in physics, where the good experimentalists aren't born that way, they're made in the well-funded labs.

i firmly believe that in ML, the math does not matter at all, beyond the tiny bit of calculus and linear algebra you need to kind of understand forwards and backwards. of course everytime i say this on here i'm skewered/debated to death on it, as if i don't know what i'm talking about :shrug:

> You've never seen Java (or C#) code where a bunch of unrelated functions belong to some meaningless class like "Utility"?

Is that worse than the global scope as the dumping ground?

One other benefit of forcing classes is that there's a logical place for private functions and fields. Private state is an anti-pattern to some but it's more consistent design for Java, I think.

Anything that I say will be misconstrued as conspiracy theory. Suffice to say this information is incorrect, and there is a growing snowball of evidence to suggest so. I for one do not trust the American Heart Association - they are a bunch of crooks funded by lobbyists, big agriculture and massive conglomerates. They got their start helping Proctor and Gamble market Crisco (poison in a tub) as being healthier than animal fats. In the 60s they got in bed with the tobacco industry to prove that cigarettes were not bad for you. A lot of the "studies" we have right now which paint saturated fats in a bad light are not true to the mission of science.

We do not collect name or any identity related personal information. The only thing that could relate to your person is the email address. However, it is only used to contact our users as it is never used otherwise or shown to anyone inside or out of the platform.

The rest of the demographic data like age, location, preferences, etc are used for users to be able to conduct segmented audience queries.

Example: I want to ask a parenting question, to women between 30 to 45 years of age on Chicago area...

By the way, we do not intend to sell data or rely on ads business model and this is why we opted to incorporate a more transparent "paid" service. So, the user data is safe and not going to be exploited like on many other social media platforms.

Hope this helps understand the purpose of the type of data collected.
I listened to the Allbirds edition of the How I Build This podcast on NPR. https://www.npr.org/2019/06/07/730695224/allbirds-tim-brown-...

It's been a while, but if I recall correctly, they mentioned that sheep farmers in New Zealand were having trouble making money and finding uses of wool. (I might be misremembering, as I'd have to go back and re-listen.) And if anything on Clarkson's Farm is to be taken as an accurate portrayal of farming trends, sheep farming was portrayed as a very difficult and unprofitable business. So I am completely guessing here, but maybe sheep farming is just not popular like it was?

Sheep farming being on the decline, at least in the U.S., seems to be at least corroborated by the following after a quick search:

https://www.ers.usda.gov/topics/animal-products/sheep-lamb-m...

https://www.kunc.org/business/2013-10-09/the-long-slow-decli...

According to this article though, Japan is the third biggest importer of wool but only had 20,000 sheep, as of the article's date of 2014: https://www.fragmentsmag.com/en/2014/06/ami-tsumuli-4/. So maybe in Japan, it's both an expensive enterprise to farm sheep and a lot of competition with imports. But that really doesn't answer why it wouldn't be used, which doesn't seem accurate if they're one of the world's top importers of wool, only behind the U.S. and China.

How often does this really happen?

Becoming an artist that makes it big is like winning the lottery. It almost never happens in the modern era because we are flooded with extremely talented artists that have no differentiation between them.

But further, those "make it late" artists are almost certainly making the majority of their money on their later works. And if we get into the nitty gritty of art, it's super common that the rights to those early works are long sold for $.10. It's unlikely the original artist could see any sort of monetary benefit.

On the flip side, media protection is a huge racket that is primarily a detriment to society. It stops media companies from innovating (just keep making mice videos), encourages nasty behavior (Like Disney's vault, where they purposefully lock away media so they can re-release it every n years, for a limited time only), and ultimately limits creativity. Consider how often we hear the story of a youtube video getting taken down because someone hummed something that sounded too close to copyrighted material. That is an active harm to art that is very common.
What advantages does the Golang version have over inheritance?

Please, note I don't dispute the "prefer composition over inheritance" thing. In fact, I heartily agree with it.

But in this specific case, where every sinle detail of Person is publicly exposed in Employee (no pun intended), I don't see a material difference. If anything, the example uses composition as a tool to implement inheritance on top of.

Am I missing something?

Like most of these humanities programs that are ridiculed as being superfluous, the name of the program only describes about 20 or 30% of the coursework involved.

The rest of it is going to be a fairly standard trip through most of the usual lower division classes required for any four-year, plus a number of courses that are not related to the core subject but from which the core subject, say in this case puppetry, becomes a kind of base camp from which your exploration of other more practical and/or conventional subjects (i.e. psychology or marketing or foreign relarions) is conducted.

These people aren't literally learning how to build puppets and put on shows everyday for 4 years.

Sure, but "Tumblr is not easy to use" doesn't really instill confidence. Tumblr used to be very easy to user. Perhaps one of the easiest websites out there in terms of usage.

The underlying problem is actually two fold:

1. They didn't understand their own customers need (which was, to be frank, share porn)
2. That they quite simply lost momentum

The first one is addressable. Just say you're going to allow porn again. The second one... Well, that's harder to address.

That would be one heck of a Minecraft host.
It almost never happens in real life so normal photographers don’t have to deal with it, but if there is no green color at all (e.g., you mix magenta and blue so your green pixels are all at noise floor) then you cannot bring it back from nothing as you color-balance raw footage. You would have to do some coloring.

However, human perception is such that color is much more subjective than things like artefacts from green screen separation, so it might actually not be a big deal.
Agreed that is a feature and not a bug.

But! The one thing that custom orchestrators can’t do is easily get the benefit of kubelet isolation of containers and resource management. Part of slowly moving down this path is to allow those orchestrators to get isolation from the node without having to reimplement that isolation. But it will take some time.
In the same spirit, people who have boxes of old photos that have some historical interest either because of their age or persons of interest, should probably upload them on wikimedia. That's probably the best way to preserve them for future generations.

The article does not support this claim.

The claim: > Main cause: Government-backed student loans.

I've read the article. It discusses student loans and how they've skyrocketed, but never makes the claim that their availability is the cause. Instead, it argues a change in America's "labor profile" is to blame for the rise in demand (which, in turn, leads to higher tuition):

> Rising enrollment is also associated with a changing US labor profile; for example, manufacturing jobs were eclipsed by “business and professional services” jobs as well as healthcare, education, and retail jobs.

Going further, the author suggests we need to forgive/cancel the student loans:

> These loans should be forgiven/cancelled

To me, this implies the author does not believe federal student loans are to blame.
> Yeah, until this gets fixed, I'm not buying an EV. I ran the numbers and after 10 years of ownership and almost 200k miles, the cost of a brand-new ICE car + 10 years of gasoline + maintenance is still less than the cost of a Model 3.

My math is even worse, in 5 years I have driven maybe 30k, but I am also constantly annoyed that my 1.6L subcompact gas car gets less than 20 MPG driving up and down Seattle's hills at 20 MPH.

A city electric car would be nice, but our road infrastructure just isn't built for them.

At a company I worked for in the last we had one of those homegrown systems to manage identity lifecycle

We couldn’t get rid of the managerial approval as that was needed for auditing and compliance, but the platform made it mostly self-service and automated

In the case of joiners, there were a specific set of permissions that were assigned based in the role they were joining at, and managers always had the chance to add/remove access before day-1

After that, the employee could use the self service platform to request access to other things they may need
I like the look of this. I'm currently using PhotoPrism[1] and PhotoSync[2] as a combo to get the same thing and whilst it works fine I've always thought a single app would be far better placed.

Looks relatively straightforward to get running, pretty much inline with what I had to do in order to get PhotoPrism running in the first place. Only thing I couldn't see anything about was hardware acceleration, do leverage any of the Intel instructions (VAAPI) for transcoding? That's a paid feature on PhotoPrism and something that's sorely needed. CPU bound transcoding is terrible!

Think I'll put this on the TODO list for the weekend!
