I think "put up with complaining it can be slow to do inefficient analytics queries" is why I would rather pay for some 3rd party tool that would get the complaints.

Business people want some queries that are slow no matter what you do. Then expect these to run in under a second. They don't care about some abstract things like operations complexity or big O - they want it here and now.

Even if your data fits on one server there are still queries that will take time and it is not going to be instant, even if you put whole db in RAM it is going to be fast but still I can imagine bunch of queries that will simply have to take couple of minutes anyway.
The best jobs come through word of mouth and peer-to-peer connections which you develop over the lifetime of your career. I've had mixed results with recruiters. In the end they're in it for themselves, so have an intrinsic interest in selling a fit on both sides of the negotiation even when there might not be one. And the fees they charge can create a barrier or resent from the corporate side.

Recruiters are just one kind of connection, and a very mixed bag. Cultivate relationships, try not to burn bridges, find the people whose work you admire and make professional friendships with them.

Also, having been in industry long enough to see this a couple times: there's a huge difference between what recruiters do during economic downturn periods versus booms. In the down periods they end up acting as gatekeepers. In the booms they end up being the folks aggressively pushing people onto the bus. I'm sure there's a healthy median in there somewhere, but it's really tricky to find and assess a good recruiter -- especially during boom times. (We're not quite in a down time yet, but getting close).
And just like that, history is deleted.
The caching makes it faster the trade off being more using more memory. I just wanted to see if it’d work.
You'd probably simply have to define that beacons are still sent at 1 Mbps, but define a new 'beaconless' mode which can connect and work from a long distance away without the beacons.
Yup, same here. And the sad things is that Windows was getting so close. Between WSL2, the new terminal and ssh, all the support for VSCode and better dev tools and open source language support, I was becoming a bit of Windows 'fan' and this close to seriously considering Windows 10 a fully usable developer desktop. Then they released Windows 11 and completely shit the bed.
Most languages have some code generation tool requiring a compile step, but most of the specs in here change infrequently enough you can just do it once and commit to VC. I personally have a use case where I modify the Meltano (ETL tool) spec at runtime and use a generated scheme to validate reads and writes to the file, helping catch bugs early.
> Windows is nowadays required for maybe 2 major things: games (I know, Wine is a thing, but let's be honest: it is very much still a hit or miss)

I'll be honest: I find it that it's very much a hit nowadays, rather than a miss.

With Valve doing so much work around Proton I can basically buy a random Windows-only game off Steam and... it just works. I don't even remember anymore a time when a game I wanted to play didn't just work.

(Of course this doesn't include multiplayer games with anti-cheat. If you like those then yes, you still need Windows.)
"consolidating too much control in the hands of unelected business leaders"...

That's why we have aggressive regulation... if our "elected leaders" do their job, and that's not specific to the US only.

> Solar panels, at their best, can capture about 25% of the sun's energy as electricity. There exist heat pumps with a coefficient of performance (COP) such that the system as a whole captures more heat i.e. COP >4

Am I understanding it correct that the efficiency is, in this case (25%; COP >4), greater than 100%?
The Rising Trend in Private Education: Teeny, Tiny Schools
I think this is, at least in part, specific to the US/Western tradition. US physics curriculum is built to get people up to speed with quantum physics ASAP, because this is the core of most physics research in US physics departments. If you look at Landau-Lifshitz's Theoretical Physics curriculum, you will find plenty of classical physics: from fluid dynamics, to elasticity, and plasma physics. For example, Landau-Lifshitz Vol. 6 is an excellent introduction to Navier-Stokes equations and their applications.
I have never not ignored a recruiter and it's been fine. So ymmv.
Honestly what took so long. He promised this ages ago. If you want to be anon and edge all over the site you can, but if you want to engage in serous discussion there can be accountability. Then we will know who had that nazi account, and qanon wankers don't get little blue x marks or whatever.

I don't use or care about Twitter, but I'm not surprised that he will finally make some noise to back up his primary claim about how he'll 'improve' the site.

how do you deal with absence of working task manager? any random hang-up is a forced restart, no way to kill offending process as EVERYTHING just freezes up. Tried forcing myself to migrate to Linux, even after forcing no updates, a lot of things magically stop working or break, forcing me to spend hours on google to fix some crap by copypasting random nonsense into terminal. I just want to use my PC, not be a debugger non stop.
If there was discrimination, there would not have been intermarriages. People switches profession to suit their needs. Buddhist texts themselves narrate that jatis were not tied to any particular profession.

There are examples of a Kshatriya warrior working successively as a potter, basket-maker, reed-worker, garland-maker, etc; and a Vaishya cook working as a tailor or potter without social push-back.

The rigidity of the varna-jati system started after the Mughal invasions, due to their exploitative taxation. It made the fluid system more rigid in matters of sharing food and marriages, and disintegrated due to opportunism and social stratification.

The British raised frustration several times that Indians did not know their caste, and had to be coached for their census forms. This was because varna-jati was not considered important by the Indians of that time.

From the article:

'Apple doesn't mandate Apple ID sign-in. Apple does put "helpful" "reminders" about setting up Apple Pay, iCloud backups, and a few other things into its setup screens, but it doesn't take your full screen over again to try to get you to opt in to things you've already said no to. There is a notification in the Settings app asking you to sign in and set a few things up if you haven't, but they're dismissable, and they stay dismissed. Safari doesn't pester you to switch back to it once you've switched away, like a 4-year-old who asks you what time it is every time the clock changes (I don't know if this is a widely relatable example, but it's my lived reality at present). There are no third-party applications installed beyond the under-the-hood open source bits and pieces that are baked into macOS's foundations.'

And:

'My frustration is not so much with what Microsoft is doing but how it is doing it. So many of Microsoft's reminders and notifications feel like they happen at the expense of respecting the user's choices.'
> Then make a note of who they are. Keep a file of recruiters that you want to deal with.

This is why I dislike linkedin. When everything was done via email, it was much simpler to find all previous interactions with that person if they cropped up again. My own minimal CRM.
If they have paid to register for your conference, it’s your duty to write those letters.

I doubt people having speaking slots at the conference will just skip out to go vacation. It’s not like they can’t vacation after the talk. More likely that they just didn’t get the visa because European visa processes, while better than US ones, are just slow.
The modern start menu (at least what I see) reminds me of the gnome and KDE equivalents. It's a simple little list of apps, a space to pin those I use a lot, and a snappy search box. Bing is there, but it's gotten less intrusive in 11. The search box is better about surfacing what I'm actually looking for and not showing web searches 99% of the time.

So I can't imagine I'm seeing the same thing as what's got so many people up in arms about the start menu. Did I get a weird OEM configuration? It's a newish Lenovo Legion laptop. I haven't changed any start menu settings.

Yes, these towns were dependent on tourism. Blackpool was built upon it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackpool#Arrival_of_the_railw...

Hobart is the largest town on Tasmania, so presumably as well as tourism it is also a regional focus for industry and non-tourism services.

Blackpool is 25km from Preston (same size), a little further from Liverpool and Manchester, Leeds and Sheffield (all large cities). The industry and services are in the other cities.
Unless they have an actual amazon.com, or mandiant.com, or similar email -- that is, an actual company email address -- it's a hard pass immediately.

Each of those items is individually fixable. Is there a global solution?

An Arstechnica article on the home page admits that different users would draw the line at different places on what they want installed.

Admittedly, this tool might ask: Games? 365? Edge? News?

Do you know any such tools or policies?

I would not recommend inadvertently deactivating such an unwanted privacy thief by forgetting it in a microwave and definitely not accidentally turning it on for 1 second because then government entities would have to rely on document identifiers from the OCR scanner as a primary key into regulated database access instead.
If it's just git and the compiler environment ("SDK") you need then the command line developer tools suffice. The download is something like 700 MiB.

> Is the author still adding the "cite me or pay 10000€" notice to the output? And calling that GPL?

Where you get the "or pay 10000€" part from? As far as I remember, the software, unless told otherwise, asks authors of scientific papers to cite GNU parallels if they used it when writing their papers. And it doesn't force it, it's not part of the license, but asks you to do so as it's academic tradition to use citations.

You could just ignore the citation and not break the license, no one would think less of you for doing so.

It’s not all that hard, really… especially when you consider the war as a knock-on side effect of Covid, and Covid in turn only being as bad as it was in the UK as a side effect of the kind of “leadership” that allowed something as stupid as Brexit to happen in the first place.

And then you think about Putin’s calculus around attacking UK democratic norms in the lead-up to Brexit and only acting on his plans for Ukraine after seeing Europe / NATO both divided (Brexit) and wounded (Covid).

If you’re in the UK and you’re hurting and you voted to Leave, you broke it and you bought it.
I work at FeatureBase and I'm storing vectors from the Instructor Large library/model into our solution. Getting good results, which I should probably quantify at some point. One thing that FeatureBase does well is allow filtering of the vector space via SQL.

I would say that most people seem to prefer an engine that embeds and stores things as a service, but using Instructor is only a few lines of code and runs locally.
And what do you do with non-discrete attributes?

Costco would probably be guilty of moving things around the most, but I assume this is partly due to their logistics and partly due to them wanting people to browse.
You don't have to reinvent the wheel for your script, all the parallel options are ready for you to use and are well documented. It's also packed with features that might take a long time to write into your Python script.

I am trying to use Python by default when writing scripts nowadays, but sometimes the best tool for the job isn't Python or writing your own Python.
IMO, the ‘just toughen up’ advice is people kind of giving up.

It’s not wrong per-se - just useless. If they could do that, they wouldn’t be in the situation! Like telling someone with PTSD to ‘just calm down’, or someone with an eating disorder to ‘eat normally’. If they could, they wouldn’t have the problem!
As a data engineer who's worked in a bunch of different contexts/companies I 100% agree most of the time snowflake/databricks is an unnecessary money sink. The main problem is most companies need the security of a managed service for cloud computing, and don't want to be locked out of scaling to a very large scale (with distributed compute). Unfortunately, I don't think there are a lot of options that meet those pretty simple requirements that aren't databricks or snowflake[1].

Sure, you could put your compute on single docker containers, but when your data gets too big your stuck and have to get someone expensive in to manage kubernetes, all that time, you can't compute on your data. Which is sorta the crux of it: databricks and snowflake are expensive, but not nearly as expensive as finding out you need them and not having them.

[1] if you're using python on was/gcp, I think coiled (coiled.io) is a rare exception to that pattern
You can only install the command line tools now. You don't need a full blown Xcode install.

As someone who lives in the UK, I can definitely second this. Companies and people just seem to be in no real hurry to get things done.

I just moved into a new home recently, and literally every step of the process has taken longer than it probably should have. Buying the property? Weeks. Getting details updated for energy companies and water companies? At least a week for one, and still waiting on the other. Internet? Oh boy, getting a new line installed is never quick, and OpenReach's efforts to make sure every individual and company can even get fibre internet seem to be going at a rate best described as 'glacial'.

There's definitely a feeling of 'eh, we'll do it when we get around to it' with many companies here.
No, you can build pretty much everything from homebrew using just the command line developer tools. It's been like that for 7-8 years, if not more. Off the top of my head I've only once ever run into a homebrew recipe requiring "xcodebuild" to proceed.
Considering what you get I think Snowflake is rather decently priced. It’s not easy to integrate and operate a bunch of open source tools that replaces it, especially not on a small scale. Also, in most cases you’ll pay a lot more for the people that use Snowflake than you do for Snowflake, so it makes more sense to focus on productivity.
It’s a maladaptive response, yes.
Makes sense. Is it any surprise? Arent there roman beads found in kamchatka at one point? And roman traders in golden cathay (a.k.a modern day malaysia). The ancients had a much greater degree of interconnectedness than we sometimes imagine

Yea, I've played the location only version of this, and was surprised how good my intuition was at guessing where different photos were taken, even without any explicit clues in the photo.

Though my first try here was a picture of a large group of people waving French Flags, wearing "'98" t shirts and celebrating under the Arc d'Trimph. Some times intuition has to do more heavy lifting then others!
There are four cases to consider, MM (both kids are Male), FF (both kids are Female), MF and FM. So there's a 50% chance of same gender kids and a 25% chance for both kids to be female. So if you know the gender, say female, of one kid but not if they are the older or younger, you have these possibilities FF, FM or MF. And FF is 1/3 of that.

Both KDE and Gnome have task manager apps as far as I'm aware. And even then, in my experience it's very rare to observe any kind of hang-up that requires restarting the entire PC. Might be because I use a different set of applications. What applications do you observe these hang-ups with?

Creatine is common among people who've maxed out their beginner gains but who are still chasing PRs. You get a fair bit of it naturally in food, and it's been studied to death by nearly every sports medicine program in the world: https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/treatments/17674-creat...

Creatine will let you push an 8 rep set to 9 or 10. And when every pound on the bar is bought with two weeks of complicated periodization, that little bit helps. And creatine is allowed by basically every athletic league.

I've noticed that the most lucrative jobs are seldom "alertable" public postings. And even if they are publicly posted, submitting my resume through a jobs-portal has an extremely low chance of producing an interview. The best ROI for my time has always come from responding to recruiters who message me with a comp range that fits my expectations.

Now it's just like the Apple experience!

Anyone who thinks otherwise, do go through a full install and then observe how many apps are installed that you cannot uninstall.

And it's true that you can't really uninstall things from Windows either... Xbox 360 Bar... it will be there forever. If you ever touch Windows Hello PIN logon, that will never be disabled again.

The only way to have an OS install be minimal is to choose a Linux, a distro will likely give you lots of things you may not want still (i.e. games, the office suite) but at least you can uninstall those all quickly.
But that's exactly what you did! You just counted which fraction of all kids is boys. You threw away that this is about pairs of kids, about april 1 on which one of them has their birthday and is a boy, and we want to know the sex of the other one. You already simplified by applying symmetry reductions. You could have just done print(1/2) and proclaimed that the output was 0.5 which therefore must be the solution.
