split finances doesn’t seem to prevent the kind of problems it nominally solves

nor does it create them. my wife and i have separate bank accounts but we don't have a trust issue. payments are made by whoever is doing it from their account. if an account is low on money we just move some without any regards as to whose money it is or who earned it.

I liked reading these posts because it's an interesting exploration into all of the subtle nuances that crop up when doing procedural graphics. You think "oh you just make it do $X", and then find out that $X is wrong in all sorts of ways that you don't realize until you see it happen.
Off the top of my head I've seen tiles of this type in cathedrals in Salisbury and York originally installed in the late 19th century. They looked to me to be in perfect condition.

And yet Bittorrent succeeded while MojoNation did not. Please, go and take your best shot at creating a distributed protocol that has the best chances for widespread adoption, as you see it. But no need to shit on someone else's attempt. Especially over some simplistic filler in some introductory writeup.
I'm surprised nobody is making a point of the culture loss either.

Like, my children are bilingual (italian, english), we live in Canada. One of the key things about this is being able to watch tv, read books and play videogames in native language.

It is really hard. A show is available in italy on Netflix, but in netflix canada is available in english and not italian.
Disney+ has this problem with many of their classics!

Videogames are way better,this problem usually doesn't exist.

Books are the worst of all: italian companies don't sell online to non italian credit cards more often than not, if they sell at all.
Buying an italian paperbook is usually challenging and of course I'd prefer paper over digital.

Just a disaster.
Its the same, thought there are so many elaborate algos that produce the most amazing outcomes ; the Mosques are representations of this - the geometry in them is so deep, we cant even read them - but its all math.

Well reasoned point, I think we disagree at a temperamental level.
Isn't that more to flip a bit than representing a bit, though?

Another angle might be to look at the Bekenstein bound, i.e. that if you have a physical system of mass-energy m, there's a maximal number of bits B that it can contain. Though that also would need a system-containing volume (surface area?) which would also be arbitrary.
Greed has been the cost driver, which is why plugging "*.domain.com" into the subject field instead of "domain.com" costs 10x more money.

I had somewhat similar experience. It wasn’t until I was around 16 that my parents raised concerns. It came to light for me with my parents coming home and freaking out because I had apparently bumped the stove while they were out and accidentally turned on the gas burner and the entire house apparently smelled of something but I was relaxing in my room without a clue. My parents initially freaked out but later my step dad shared another incident where I had been working on something in the garage and there was gas can that had been tipped over and the whole garage smelled of gas and I had no idea. For the garage incident I could tell something was off around me like spider senses tingling but I couldn’t tell what it was exactly.
i mean, even rotary screws are only like 60-70db.

I'm using scroll compressors, which are very quiet. Smaller versions are used in your HVAC system (assuming you have one).

Even basic ones are 49-50db.

You can do better.

Most people's experience is with piston based reciprocating compressors, which are quite loud. 80+db.

Or little pancake compressors, which are the same.

Most shops move towards rotary screw because they need higher cfm than even 2 stage reciprocating can provide.
Some of them take Bitcoin though.
I for one massively compress my experience. I remember things on autocomplete. I have memories where different time periods are mixed together: my recollection of a room will have furniture in it that was only added later, for instance.
No mention of that sweet phenylalanine hit you get that doesn't happen with real sugar. A lot of people are hooked on it.
Simpler:

Use a manual transmission. I had a car that in the previous century (Saab 900Turbo 5spd) was visiting in NYC and found it broken into, scratches around the ignition (also in a weird place in the center floor), but not stolen; clearly they had no clue about operating the gears.

These days I read multiple articles about would-be thieves foiled by manual trans.

It is merely security by obscurity, but it is nevertheless effective.

Nobody that doesn't already know how to drive a manual thans is going to figure it out in the 60 second window, and very few people already know.

>> paper reviewers are usually not supposed to look at the actual source code of the papers

> Wait what? I haven't reviewed for ACL but most conferences don't say "don't look at the source code." They will say that reviewers are not required to look at it (as well as the appendix). But generally it just isn't uploaded.

Sorry, I formulated that badly. I meant what you say, that are usually not presented with the source code, and aren't expected to go hunting for it online. If they do anyway, they are going above and beyond.
Not sure where the dislike comes from, when all configuration management tools have issues with "orphaned nodes". I've even have small bugs/misconfigurations in fully push/declarative setups with Terraform packages where they stopped identifying updates correctly. If anything, with a push tool like Terraform reporting that it did what it planned on doing successfully, its arguably easier to not notice something has been orphaned since you won't have any signal back that something is "wrong", an orphaned configuration node has nothing to do and therefore is already "correct". Salt may have its flaws, but I find it hard to argue that "orphaned nodes" is any more of a flaw of salt than it is of cfEngine, Chef, Ansible, Puppet, Terraform, Helm Charts, Kubernetes Operators, or any other "configuration management tool".

Also...
Salt does have High Availability options, https://docs.saltproject.io/en/latest/topics/highavailabilit... with Replication/Failover and Multi-Master modes, and there's also "Syndic" which break up how much each master is responsible for in order to create failure domains or separate responsibilities between stacks of infrastructure like having one per datacenter... oh and the underlying data stores that masters and syndic daemons rely on can be setup with highly configurations since you can keep the cached data in Redis, Consul, EtcD, or MySQL...

Salt is a bit complicated, but just can't understand where you're coming from here. I've never used a configuration management system that wasn't a bit complicated in one way or another, their job is to be the sin-eater of the complexity that is inherent in managing computers and software.
Amazon has workers pee in bottles and literally walk around the corpses of their dead coworkers. Walmart famously pays their employees so little they rely on food stamps to survive.

The nation's poorest are not provided with a fairly-earned living. They are working themselves to death while not even earning enough to survive, and they can't get any other job because those "smaller companies" have been killed by the behemoths outcompeting them by using exploitative labor practices.
For small items, I sometimes get it delivered by an Amazon truck but a lot of the time it just comes from my USPS driver who is putting (mostly junk mail) in my inbox anyway.

Anything I get frozen gets sent in a relatively big box with dry ice or ice packs.

that's a good point, we never formally merged our accounts, but my wife told me the pins to most of her debit cards. i don't know if i told her mine, but that's because the need to do that just never came up. so even though nominally the accounts are separate, in practice we treat all of them as shared.
No idea, how could I tell lol. My taste in food is, by others account, shite tho. I can eat the same things for days for all I care.
You can use Just Press Record which is good as the other commenter mentioned.

The other option is to use the Voice Memos app on Watch and then use the voice memos app on iPhone to share it to something like Otter.ai.

If you want to bulk upload then just press record is likely better because it’ll save them in iCloud, and then you can bill drag and drop upload them on your Mac.
I don’t have the stats, but would be very surprised if the number of airbnbs, short terms, and vacant apartments was more meaningful than the number of wealthy folks moving in. But if it were the case, it’s somewhat fair to assume it’s the wealthy that own those properties. So I think you agree with GP more than disagree.
It does just for logistics. If we have $1000 in our joint account and we both spend $600 without talking to the other, it’s going to overdraft.

On the other hand, if we both have our “own” account even if they are really joint accounts, that’s not a problem.

My wife doesn’t work now. I put money into “her” account every pay period based on what we agreed on - and to make her whole once I “retired” her.

She has access to credit cards and our joint savings account if something comes up. She isn’t really a big spender and neither am I.
Haha in my university something similar happened to me - One day I saw high res screens running OpenDX and I was hooked on simulations after that!
My career coding was a product of a bootcamp. Bootcamps have a well deserved reputation for pumping out unqualified candidates.

Having said that the bootcamp I was a part of was hosted at (not really run by...) a local US university. I've worked with computer science graduates from there, good people, capable ... but man many of them should have had a semester of a bootcamp IMO, on top of their more traditional comp sci education.

I would jump at the chance to get a formal comp sci education, but I think all universities could use a heavy dose of “practical application” type courses.
I interviewed a few months ago with one of the leaders in the space, and when I asked the HM my standard “what do you see as the biggest challenge facing the business right now” I got a surprising answer: “the weather.”

My sense is that drone delivery has the same weather dependency as self-driving cars, only greatly magnified.
Well, yeah, I did say I don't envy the midtown car owner :)

Since "Western" Europe now includes Poland, the Baltics, Moldova and Finland - perhaps you can answer that question for us.

For extra credit: which "Western" country did Russia sign an active military alliance with -- and not only join it invading one of the above countries; but march together with its troops in victory parades, afterwards?

Yes, for example WordPress [1], so I think the push for this feature is good.

> At the end of my time at Shopify I learned good science requires good software engineering.

This is a positive side of industry research. First, you tend to have more software engineering expertise available, and secondly you have more of an insentive to not exaggerate your claims, as if you say it works, you'll be expected to put it into production.
Honestly, I don't expect a lot of skeet practice in general. But you need to beat the cost of USPS and Amazon delivery trucks which seem pretty efficient and--if not zero liability--at least liability that's been well established over a good hundred years. It's theoretically cool but once you get out of medical deliveries to remote areas it's not clear how practical it is.
I think the primary difficulty is not telling planners this, but telling citizens. Most people are so ingrained to use cars in the US that any mention of transit or biking gets a pretty severely negative response, and I’ve seen this in people I know across conservatives, liberals, and even (dumbfoundingly) progressives/leftists. To do this well also requires more dense apartments and mixed use zoning, which similarly upsets many across the political spectrum.

I am somewhat hopeful the trends are angling towards proper cities, but my impression of those trends is that it is moreso forward thinking cities/planners trying their best against an extremely misinformed citizenry + our existing terrible infrastructure + under/misfunding + impossible bureaucracy. It’s going to take a lot of effort to get people to actually use alternatives, and I think those channels will only appeal to a very small bubble of urbanism focused leftists.

(side note: e-bikes are my personal urbanism bet; they seem good enough to vaguely navigate surface roads and even some stroad conditions, while being able to interface with old bike path networks, and can be easy to park in areas where cities provide bike racks. I’ve had a good experience with one, and no longer use a car for most trips)
Look at the homicide rates in some Latin American countries with no guns compared to similarly disarmed, poorer Asian countries.
It is also not any better than any other immobiliser. Unless it's on the CANBUS talking securely to the ECU, thieves will likely just bypass the module physically if they have the time.

This coupled with a CANBUS integration with the ECU to prevent it from starting would be pretty good though, since no one can wirelessly collect the signals to spoof the code.
People say this a lot, but I’m very skeptical whether it matters much if you never had smell to begin with. I have had no real sense of smell for as long as I can remember but I’m a more than competent cook. This would be very contradictory if smell was truly essential to the experience. I can believe that it’s important if you had it and lost it, but I don’t think smell is essential to taste in general. (However, I do agree with GP that it feels like I’m missing a major piece of human experience.)
Long story short, It's the FAA's fault. Initially they said, "no, you can't do that" because there are no regulations for that. With pressure from companies, the FAA took years to create the rules to make drone deliveries legal. Finally there is some regulatory framework.

Drones have to be specifically designed and manufactured to pass the FAA's certification program. We've all seen capable drones from Amazon's marketing, but does it please the FAA? A drone can't do the job until the FAA signs off on that make/model. It's not easy to do and requires developing a craft with all sorts of safety features.

Companies are making progress, and I think the most insightful videos to watch on the topic come from Zipline. They're already operating in Rwanda with support from their government. They have a streamlined service and make 100s of deliveries per day.
The accelerated learning that happened, particularly understanding how to be a leader at GitLab, set me up for success. I’m now in a leadership role which I love. The joy that I get from work has lead to a better , happier life outside of work, too.

Lots of random weirdness for me trying to use mine. Most recent example was trying to checkout as a guest on Little Caesar’s app. Kept declining my Apple Pay transaction without telling me why — changed the email and it worked.

There’s only been a handful of times I’ve used it, maybe 12? At least a few of those times it wouldn’t even let me submit it saying it was an “invalid email”. Couldn’t even get past the validation.

absolutely correct, but Firefox takes notice of ideas.
They can be influenced by what is proposed as fixes or contributions.
"Everyone knows" that Firefox may break some websites, just ask google.
Has anyone ever come across that pretty regularly?
Firefox has become a follower rather than a leader and I think the influence of contributors has done that.
It is no good for Firefox going in a direction that a good deal of their contributors wont go. The users be damned!
I assume they were referring to seasonal farm worker types, who don’t seem to experience as much social mobility.
I use Go daily. honestly generics didn't change my code much at all.

I use them now somewhat, but only because they offer slightly better sugar at the call site. at the definition site, they are just as ugly as you expect, granted the Go syntax is about the best I have seen from other languages. so in the end I think we really lost some simplicity in order to silence the whining about no generics. not a good tradeoff.
Do you understand that you've just linked the numbers that are being criticised without addressing the criticisms?
Yeah, same thing for me. I was probably 20 or so when I really understood that I had no sense of smell. It was much later when I realized that this was a gap in my version of human experience. As these things go it seems like not much of a disadvantage though.
2 is wrong and you are exactly right. Amazon explains drones are exactly for meant for rural areas here: https://youtu.be/yMqbj4Kj-z0?t=688

A lone driver might get paid X $/hour but in a rural area, only reach a single house with his truck, whereas the same driver might make 10x deliveries in the same time period in an urban area. And optimally, you'd have one drone pilot controlling multiple drones at the same time with each one taking less time than a car.

I'm guessing the biggest cost here isn't fuel or energy, it's the staffing.
Winner. Battery capacity needs to double and charge twice as fast to make EV adoption possible.
Someone I know lost the ability to sense many organosulfur compounds after having Covid. Garlic is tasteless/smell-less mass, rotten eggs don't smell like anything. I don't think I've ever heard of sinus infections of any kind causing that kind of change for going on 3 years. That's pretty weird considering how sensitive humans are to organosulfur compounds.
> My Highlander was about $50K all in. Let's say I keep it for 10 years, that's $5 per year right there.

Not really, the car doesn't evaporate on year 10. On a quick search I see 2013 Highlanders (you didn't mention a year but those are 10 years old now) selling from ~14K to ~20K. So looks like you'd get about a third of the purchase cost back when you sell it.

That's a 50K car though. If you like to spend on that, great. But it doesn't mean that owning a car has to cost that much. People who like to minimize car costs (like me) will buy a 5-8K used car and drive it forever, bringing the annualized cost down to just a few hundred dollars.

> I can easily get to $10K for one car

Certainly. Or 100K, or even more. I know someone who spends well over a million dollars a year in cars! The sky is the limit. But nobody needs to do that. If all one needs is a car for transportation, it can be had for under 1K a year.

If you bring this up to a doctor, like I have countless times, they just won’t care. And I’m already on disability for two illnesses.
In terms of “getting rid of the conference system”, I would suggest what I see in maths, which is split into two types of talks:

* talks about already peer reviewers conference papers.

* talks about active research. Here you only submit an extended abstract, and you don’t get to “claim credit” for giving the talk. People tend to only talk about things where they genuinely want to hear feedback, maybe even new collaborators.
Texas troopers told to push children into Rio Grande, records say
I deleted my first response, because on further reflection it seemed you were more intent on defending your position, than having a friendly dialog.

In friendly dialog, it's quite common to make agreements equally clear to disagreements.

In addition, ghosting your conversation partner's agreed to points is indistinguishable from ignoring points you simply don't have a good retort to. If you were profusely nodding in agreement while reading parts of my comment, that was unfortunately invisible to me.

In addition, my original post had the phrase "particular appeal for trust", followed by the very relevant sentence "Not mentioning anything about non association would have seemed weirder." You also ghosted that in your response.

So you simply ignored my entire larger implication that it's not worth talking about the trustworthiness of the author of the OP, since there's no tangible evidence one way or the other.

That's why I gave up and deleted my prior post.
Midlife crisis needs to be split into “the ones that need to keep working until 70 probably doing the same crap to keep feeling alive” and “not”.

And sometimes the ones from “not” get there without ever knowing what _needing to work_ means.
I tried turning them on in Canary, but I still couldn't get it to work.
