I'm reading this comment as "Yes. No." and I couldn't find any doc from ACBL or any other org stating that all encrypted signals are allowed.
And then since pronunciation shifts, you’ll periodically want to have international treaties adjusting spelling, hyphenation, capitalization and other rules, as the German-speakers have done.

Or freeze it once and for all as the French have chosen to do?

SFH are unsustainable, they don't generate enough tax income to maintain the infrastructure they require, they are subsidised by the denser parts of a settlement. Why should society subsidise the lifestyle of a richer caste who can afford SFH close to cities?

> Also the vilification of houses is obnoxious and dumb. The USA is not "full." Some people actually want to DO things, like garden or have a workshop or a swing set or a kiln. That means they want a HOUSE, and guess what? It's a hell of a lot better than covering up every square foot of ground with concrete for high-density apartment blocks, preventing water from percolating into aquifers and intensifying the permanent drought that reigns over much of the west.

It's not about being "full", it's about creating an urban environment that can enable humans to live without a car. The Netherlands has many suburbs with mixed SFH, some duplex buildings, rowhouses and so on. It creates denser packs of urbanisation that allow even small towns/settlements to share a downtown feeling with shops and local commerce while still providing housing for people who prefer to live in a SFH.

The issue with American suburbia is very similar to a monoculture plantation: instead of creating suburbs with a variety of different houses to accommodate differing levels of needs and incomes, which can sustain some kind of a local life (with local bars, restaurants, grocery stores) the US has zoned out most of that to only allow detached houses, creating pockets devoid of life except for individuals in their houses (like a monoculture, devoid of an ecosystem).

You don't need to get rid of SFH, you just need more mixed usage of the land, keep the SFH suburbs around a small center with denser housing which can support local shops on their ground level, like you said the US is not full, there's space to do it this way, it's just a matter of policy, not a law of Nature.
The first computer program was written in the 1840s. FORTRAN was released in the 1950s. I promise that we had many many decades of amazing software that didn't phone home to spy on users. Most software had no telemetry at all until well after the internet became mainstream.

When many people connected to the internet via dial up, phoning home (even just to check for updates) could get your software branded as spyware. The idea that a software company would be collecting data on what dates/times you were online, what your IP address was, and when/how often you used the software you purchased was offensive. Adware (and nagware) were tradeoffs users knowingly made, but data collection was a sin.

As the internet got popular enough more and more programs started spying on users and there were efforts to come up with clear guidelines for what was/wasn't acceptable, for example: https://www.grc.com/oo/cbc.htm
Today most programs collecting telemetry would fail by that standard.

Just because "everybody does it" today that doesn't make it right. Most computer users have no understanding of what the software they run is doing, very little idea of the risks/harms involved with giving up their personal data, and no idea that there was ever a time when things were any different.

It's still not any of your business when your users run their software. Which features they use more often or what tasks they use their software for are also none of your business. You might find that information useful to have, but that doesn't make it yours to take without asking.

This isn't just "my preference" either. When users are respected enough to be asked if they want to be tracked, the vast majority of them care and won't opt in (https://iapp.org/news/a/research-shows-25-opt-in-rates-for-a...).

You don't need telemetry. If you want it because it lets you be lazier, request permission before collecting anything and make sure users know exactly what is being collected before asking them to opt in. Just having or pointing users to a privacy policy is not enough. Don't collect anything more than you absolutely have to and delete the data quickly once you have it so that it can't be leaked/sold later. Anything less than that is disrespectful and deceptive.

Lemmings and its expansion packs used a custom format called "SoundPlayer", written by Scott Johnson of DMA Design. I believe the name comes from a string seen inside the replayer code.

* The music as found on Amiga Lemmings disks: https://www.exotica.org.uk/wiki/SoundPlayer

* Source of replayer code: http://wt.exotica.org.uk/players.html

Lemmings 2 and the All New World of Lemmings used MED by Teijo Kinnunen, as did most later DMA Design titles (Walker, Hired Guns)

The port of Lemmings to the Acorn Archimedes actually used a MOD file, presumably because Protracker is not native to the Acorn, but it was a popular format at the time and several people had written replayers for the Acorn

While you say "the music was easily converted"... that's not always true. The SoundPlayer format, based on reading its replayer code, supports 38 sound samples. Protracker supports 31 samples at most. Had the Lemmings music _used_ 38 samples, converting to Protracker would've come undone.

Similarly, while MED can be converted to Protracker, Protracker doesn't support all MED's commands, timings, synthetic instruments, and it actually does sound different and worse... provided the music made any use of those extra capabilities.

Quite a few games did have CPU-intensive mixing for multiple sound channels, but only as title-screen music, not in-game. Famously there is TFMX 7V format used by Chris Huelsbeck (Turrican 2, Turrican 3, Apidya, Metal Law) but also Hippel 7V used by Jochen Hippel (Amberstar, Ghost Battle, Lethal Xcess) and Oktalyzer. Furthermore, Super Stardust used the increased CPU capabilities of the A1200/A4000 to have its title music in ScreamTracker 3 (S3M) format.
If Int (without 0) should be used, why not use IntWithoutZero type?
>Consumer protection law in the EU/UK has got this covered for those citizens.

There's nothing in the EU guarantee free returns. All shops are allowed to get you to pay for the returns shipping fees yourself, and for the wear and tear on the product if it's been opened and used.

Amazon is currently one of the few exceptions that pays for the returns fees and reimburses 100% no questions asked, but most other smaller shops don't do that.
Is there a similar post about LTO tape storage drives? I'm wondering how the newer generations achieve the insane transfer speeds and storage capacities.
I find the bottom row easy to hit but find the top rows are awkwardly placed. I've got round this by using the top row as toggles for the momentary layers on the bottom row keys, so it's fine. I wouldn't want to press them as part of normal typing personally.
Insisting on hybrid is a sure fire way of ensuring you get fewer applicants.
Nuclear can't do peak load scaling and is less consistent than you might think for baseload.

You might benefit from looking at systems like Compressed Air Energy Storage. Highly responsive, compatible with CHP, virtually no scarce materials involved, and pairs dramatically well with renewables.

As an additional bonus, it also doesn't leave vast tracts of land uninhabitable if it goes wrong.
Has Huawei overcome U.S. sanctions by developing its own 5G chip?
Depending on how you actually do it and the part of the world you live in, this model could be illegal. For instance the case of freelancers almost exclusively working for one employer is in some countries interpreted as avoiding to pay all the taxes, healthcare and pension contributions for employees. The penalties might be severe, e.g. requiring to pay all of those things retroactively, which if you do it with enough people ends up being a lot of money.
I've had a very similar experience, and have worked on a lot of React Native and Flutter projects over the years.

React Native (Expo specifically) or Flutter can be a good choice depending on your requirements and experience. I wouldn't let Dart put you off though, it's a decent language and easy to learn.

I've got some articles about this here: https://foresightmobile.com/blog

> Are you saying people need to give up AC and die in the summer?

I am precisely saying that we need to prioritize. I would rather survive the summer and not fly far away on holiday than die in the summer.

> Is the plan that everybody becomes a peasant?

Well big cities are a problem, and people working in services definitely rely on a society built on abundant energy.

I don't know exactly what the solution is. What I know is that our society is built on fossil fuel, and not only those are limited, but they are killing us. So we need to remove fossil fuels. Then looking at the numbers, it appears that we can't reasonably hope to replace fossil fuels entirely. Hence we have to use less energy, hence we have to degrow.

I hardly advise reading https://www.amazon.com/World-Without-End-Blain-Christophe-eb..., that's from a well-known french engineer.
Contemporary expressions of the influence of prevalent strategy games on geopolitics might be:

- Chess, a popular game in Russia and a game of gambits and bloody material exchange for a pawn: the Ukraine war

- Go, a popular game in China and a game of long term development and area control: China building artificial islands, investing heavily in Africa, and avoiding direct confrontation in Taiwan

A certain characteristic of chess is the need to study and memorize openings and lines, which has no parallel in real life. Overall, if there was a strong correlation between chess and other areas of life, chess grandmasters would be prominently successful in top military and business leadership positions.

>People often liked discussing the similarities and differences between each other's cultures.

Yes, that's fun to do, if done without denigrating them.

>I remember a gypsie person being fascinated by the fact that gypsies and jews share some customs, such as covering the mirrors when people die and putting away their shoes.

Well, that makes a kind of sense, if you consider to be true the theory that gypsies came to Europe from north-west India (Rajasthan and nearby areas) by way of Iran, the Middle East, etc. Since the Middle East had many Jews, and migration would have been slow in those days (no fast modern transport), the gypsies may have picked up some Jewish customs like those you mentioned, by interacting with Jews while en route to Europe.

And going to Europe may not have been their original plan anyway. One guess is that they could just have slowly, organically, drifted further and further away from India, possibly staying in each place until they had to leave, for trading for livelihood, or because forced out, or for any other reason.

A nomadic lifestyle sounds romantic, until you start thinking about connection to electricity, fresh water, and sewage.
Or you don't and end up making a non-functional website for the public sector for $100M. Software projects fail often, and not for the lack of trying, there is not yet any evidence that you can micromanage them into succeeding.
> I find it intriguing that BS's Dracula was required reading in VA.

The Virginia Department of Education doesn't and hasn't had a required reading list. Such decisions are the purview of local school districts. A minority of local school districts in the state specify a required reading list, but mostly these decisions are made at the school or individual teacher level.
> Kubernetes is up to 80% cheaper compared to PaaS like Heroku and you can choose between different cloud providers (no lock-in).

I'm not a fan of these business case buzzword sentences. There is lock-in, although less, and "up to" is meaningless. It could be 81% cheaper, or it could be more expensive.
I personally love the lightest choc switches you can find.

But as other commenter said, they do not fit the standard switch slots.
Ah, a bit of an "eats shoots and leaves" situations here.

I mean: Yes, CRDTs require all clients receive all edits in order to guarantee convergence.

They indeed do not need to be "in order", they merely need to receive all edits "to guarantee convergence". My insertion of "in order" was definitely confusing there.

Which article is incorrect? Indeed it looks like there is no random initialization in libsvm or thereby sklearn.svm.SVC or in sklearn.svm.*. I seem to have confused random initialization in Simulated Annealing with SVMs; though now TIL that there are annealing SVMs, and SVMs do work with wave functions (though it's optional to map the wave functions into feature space with quantum state tomography), and that there are SVMs for the D-Wave Quantum annealer QC.

From "Support vector machines on the D-Wave quantum annealer" (2020) https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S001046551... :

Kernel-based support vector machines (SVMs) are supervised machine learning algorithms for classification and regression problems. We introduce a method to train SVMs on a D-Wave 2000Q quantum annealer and study its performance in comparison to SVMs trained on conventional computers. The method is applied to both synthetic data and real data obtained from biology experiments. We find that the quantum annealer produces an ensemble of different solutions that often generalizes better to unseen data than the single global minimum of an SVM trained on a conventional computer, especially in cases where only limited training data is available. For cases with more training data than currently fits on the quantum annealer, we show that a combination of classifiers for subsets of the data almost always produces stronger joint classifiers than the conventional SVM for the same parameters.
There are two french persons who have really had a big impact on how I see the energy crisis (climate is a consequence of fossil fuels, hence energy).

One is Aurelien Barrau, astrophysicist and philosopher, who made me realize that CO2 is not the problem. If we changed fossil fuels with fusion, we would still be living a mass extinction. We are destroying biodiversity because of our way of life.

The other one is Jean-Marc Jancovici, who explains that the root cause is fossil fuels. Climate is just a consequence (a very bad one, hence we need to solve the energy problem even faster).

I strongly recommend his book, which explains his ideas really well. Probably works better if you know Europe a bit, but I think that the English edition is modified a bit for US citizen: https://www.amazon.com/World-Without-End-Blain-Christophe-eb...

The big thing that's missing is that in chess you know where all the pieces are, you both have the same objective, and you both have the same resources.

In a real war there are a lot of unknowns and part of the decision making is reacting to the fact that you don't know everything.
What does "Deploy on Kubernetes" mean?

I can deploy an application on a machine running a specific Debian version. Go to some provider of bare metal or VMs, they usually have a "Get a Debian version soandso machine" button. Then I copy some files to a specific directory, then I run a setup.sh script that turns this specific version of Debian into a server running my application.

But how do I deploy "on Kubernetes"? Where do I get a button "Rent a Kubernetes"?

I wonder how pragmatic those can become. Usually I don't really care about "exact" exactness, a common theme in haskell. A sort of "under common assumptions" (no underflow/overflow/OOM etc.) proof of laws and properties. This eliminates a whole class of bugs and strengthens your ability to reason, but doesn't make everything super, super complicated by thinking about all those edge cases.

One usually doesn't program airplane control software. Some bugs are okay and speed of development and correctness is a trade-off.
That's one interpretation. An alternative interpretation is they realized that making non-paid results worse increases the clickthru rate for the paid results.
Very interesting.

At it's heart advertising is about informing potential customers about products or services [1].

One aspect you've missed though is the free-versus-paid dimension - here the competition is between people creating links, versus paid for promotion.

You could argue that reflects the value perceived by the paid or free 'customers'. However I think in the area of politics and ideas there is a dangerous imbalance - because of the power of professional promotion.

In essence common sense is being drowned out by paid agendas - because of the difference in impact a paid professional can make.

> The attributive dairy describes milk-based products, derivatives and processes, and the animals and workers involved in their production, for example dairyman, dairymaid, dairy cattle or dairy goat.

> That prediction didn’t pan out because TV manufacturers latched onto a loophole in the EU rule: While it grades TVs on the electricity they use in their default setting, it lets them offer other settings if the set warns the user about the potentially higher power draw.

I've noticed PC monitors doing this as well - one of them was winking and nudging so hard that you couldn't even access the settings before disabling the "eco power saving mode", and I couldn't find a way to turn it back on without a factory reset. Would name and shame if I remembered the brand but it was one of the big ones.

Jacques Pépin is an absolute treasure. Such a famous chef yet never a jerk to anyone.

Another favourite of mine is J. Kenji Lopez-Alt [1], or Kenji as everyone calls him . Really nice and non-pretentious guy. Tons of great advice for beginners. His cookbook even goes into details like how to stock and organize your fridge!

I think one of his most endearing qualities is that he doesn’t hide his mistakes. He leaves them in the video and talks about them and how to recover. Far too often we see TV shows about people making mistakes in the kitchen and getting reamed out by the celebrity chef or having a meltdown of their own.

Mistakes are inevitable in the kitchen, especially when you’re just starting out. Feeling really bad about it is a pretty surefire way to lose interest in learning to cook.

For me the killer feature of wget is that by default it downloads a file with a name derived from the url.

You do:

wget url://to/file.htm

and a file named "file.htm" appears in your cwd.

Using curl, you would have to do

curl url://to/file.htm > file.htm

or some other, less ergonomical, incantation.

I think the pronunciation shifts might be the real issue with English. All languages shift, but I've got the feeling that English shifts a lot more, faster and more dramatically than most languages. And I'm not sure why.

Dutch seems to be quite the opposite: spelling changes a lot. The best way to read old Dutch texts is to sound them out in your head, because the words look totally different, but they sound the same. Hearing medieval Dutch is probably easier than medieval English, but medieval English is much easier to read.
You're under the mistaken impression that Americans like their taxes to go towards public services. Many public libraries are underfunded, and what funding they get is sometimes wrapped up in censorship laws serving an increasingly hostile and paranoid constitutency. "Public service" is synonymous with "government controlled service."

Google would be no different. Forget any "innovation" any of Google's satellite projects may have had, they simply wouldn't exist, too expensive. The service would be stripped down to a bare bones minimum of functionality and farmed out to lowest-bid contractors to save money. The CIA, NSA and law enforcement would have backdoors everywhere (so no difference there), "controversial" sites would be delisted or fined (because broadcast decency laws would probably apply, and the taxpayers would insist any indecency be removed) and the whole thing would wind up privatized by the Republicans anyway, so it would still run ads at the end.
That's an interesting possibility. It certainly seems uncensored from Canada!
