That's fine as long as there aren't too many variants of configurations. For example, I had a case where multiple ML training runs had to be configured with slight variations in parameters. That too, on the cloud. It can be managed with environment variables - but it becomes messy soon. With TOML, it was just a matter of switching those files around. There are better solutions these days for this particular use-case. However, it should give an idea where environment variables are not a better choice than TOML files.
I don’t understand this heuristic and I think it might be a bit garbled. Any idea what the author meant? How do you get 1000?

> A good rule of thumb is that you’ll want ten data points per significant digit of your evaluation metric. So if you want to distinguish 91% accuracy from 90% accuracy, you’ll want to have at least 1000 data points annotated. You don’t want to be running experiments where your accuracy figure says a 1% improvement, but actually you went from 94/103 to 96/103.
Sure, but I would like the think that the Mexican Congress would realize this (and did due diligence) and vetted everything before doing this song-and-dance number.

There is a slide with companies/universities that did the work. I would like to also think that they would vet those findings as well.

However, agreed it sounds somewhat fishy. Maybe I have too much faith in due process of governments. :)

Apple wants their users to use iCloud storage. Transferring photos and video by cable is not the suggested way of usage for most iPhone users. Using iCloud sync, your photos and videos are already waiting for you on your Mac. At least, if everything works and you aren't a heavy "Pro" user. Of course, that is not only a "pro-consumer" tactic, but a "pro-service-revenue" one. And if you are a "Pro" user with lots of data to transfer, you can either but the USB 3.0 cable or subscribe to the new 6 TB and 12 TB iCloud storage options. Or just do both. Of course, you need a Pro model ... but aren't you a Pro user in that case?
Colorado recently started charging for plastic bags (a good thing imo). However the self-checkouts at all of the stores I've been to simply cannot handle a reasonable workflow. I can't add my personal bags to the bagging area before I start scanning and tare the scale or anything. I either have to do the entire operation in two stages: scanning then bagging, or I have to have the lone employee come over and confirm that I'm not stealing stuff every third item.

Not to mention that the bagging area is not designed for personal bag use really at all.

Sometimes I think about how I should have worked harder and paid more attention to my courses while in university. My grades were pretty good (though could have been better), and I put effort into my projects and labs, but I feel that I didn't use my time well and didn't explore the opportunities, whether it was taking different courses, attending events, or finding like-minded people with whom I could have created something together, or even reading more books and studying a little more. After all, it was quite a short period of time, and after that, life just went downhill anyway.
I don't know if you heard, but Apple recently introduced full end-to-end encryption for pretty much all iCloud data, including photos [0].

Certainly one that other phone manufacturers have had in their phones for the past 8 years? I jest, because I haven't cared that my phones have had USB-C for even longer than that because I've been wireless charging instead. I do believe iPhones do that these days though.
LAN is also USB2.0 on these devices. Also SD card readers, etc.

Not via a cable? I want to be able to use my phone while it syncs. Being tethered to a computer during syncing would be tedious.

I also don’t want to have the photos on “my computer”. I’m really bad at hosting large amounts of data, I let professionals do it for me for a few.

I’m sitting on my couch and my phone is syncing data to multiple cloud services.

I specifically updated my camera too so I could get photos off it via Wi-Fi instead of having to faff about with memory cards or cables.

I have as well. And in my experience, at least with street people, it’s much better to give them bottled water and food than to give them cash. If it’s a family member or someone you actually know, that’s a completely different situation than what most people (not you, to be clear!) are talking about when they say “don't give cash to homeless people”.
> if there's any resistance put up they essentially just write it off as it's no longer worth the effort

That's rarely the case. Debt collection agencies will absolutely hound you and your relatives, damn the laws, to try and milk value from you, for quite some time. They will then go to conferences and brag about how they have tricked people into claiming debts, the ways they have harassed people, and other atrocious things.
My first thought as well. People tend to misunderstand why things cost what they do, for stuff like this it isn't the raw components.
You don't have to sync your photos to iCloud. No one is forcing you to. Just go to your Photos setting and disable iCloud Photos. Use your terabytes of local storage to your heart's content!
I think they meant that the upstream connection to the ISP and beyond is unstable. Not the literal WLAN connection between the router and device.

> It's very verbose. It's not DRY. It's syntactically noisy.

I don't completely disagree with this. However, in most cases TOML is used, it isn't that much of a problem.

And I actually like that the full key is repeated. When you have several layers of nested mappings, it can be hard to determine exactly where the current value is in the hierarchy. Especially if the top level key is above the current screen of text. It can also make it easier to search for a specific key. IMO, this is a case where more verbosity and repetition makes it more readable.

That said, it seems a little arbitrary to me that inline tables don't allow newlines within them. If they did, then if you didn't like repeating the keys, you could use inline tables.

> TOML's hierarchies are difficult to infer from syntax alone

This is a little subjective, and depends on the actual data represented in the config.

But in general, my experience is that when you have several layers of nesting, and the only indication of the hierarchy is indentation, it can be a little hard to follow where a specific value fits in the hierarchy. See above.

And I disagree that meaningful indentation is "generally considered a good idea". I won't enumerate the pros and cons here, as it has been discussed a lot elsewhere, but it is definitely controversial, and subjective.

> Overcomplication: Like YAML, TOML has too many features

This section lists exactly one feature that it thinks TOML shouldn't have. Maybe dates shouldn't have been included, but it isn't anywhere close to the complexity of YAML.
Energy cost has long been viewed as a means to constrain consumption. This new approach seems to undermine that approach given the reduced cost per volume.

If I'm paying entirely based on volume, then making my home twice as efficient makes my bill half as much. But under this new system, I wouldn't realize the same savings.

Seems like a policy set with priorities other then environmental protections.

Apple promised 10 years of support for Lighting. They gave it that.
Possibly, but he also describes pretty cheap and easy calibration methods. It's possible that most of the cost of the commercial options is the fact that these are extremely low-volume devices and the overhead of a business with low-volume sales is quite high. You might be paying less for calibration and more for all the things a business needs to do/have that a lone DIYer doesn't.

Not to mention the fact that a lot of researchers are buying thing with grant money, and so can be, in some cases, somewhat price insensitive.

I don't doubt that the commercial one is pre-calibrated and certified. But I would be quite surprised if that certification/calibration _actually_ cost ~$9000.

What I'd love to see from this Zettel Renaissance is just a dirt-simple VSC (LOCAL! PLEASE! STOP SENDING ALL MY CUSTOMER'S DATA INTO THE UNIVERSE) plugin that goes into my working directory, sucks up filenames, tokenizes keywords, then throws them all into an undirected graph with Graphviz (or PlantUML or Vega or Mermaid or Kroki or whatever), with a regex filter on the nodes.

I feel like it's one of those things that should be all over the place, but the implementations I've fooled with[1] with have been sharply limited in some way or other. I guess I should stop being a freeloader, put on my big boy shorts and have a go.

Where that world sucks is that it forces you to ignore or duplicate work from the native build system. E.g. Go or Rust know which source files are needed to build something, yet Bazel makes you write that out.

No, generating the file isn't "the fix" if you're still committing those generating files into the source control; that's still duplication and manual labor.

A relevant sidenote: If you're going to do this, make sure you don't allow the content to also be accessible on the top level domain with a different URL, and that one redirects to the other. Two reasons for this:

- Security: You want the cookies to be limited to the subdomain

- SEO: You get penalized if the same content is available at two URLs, because it is assumed it's a copy

The SEO issue applies in the other direction too. When we first set this up for reddit (you could and still can go to subreddit.reddit.com), we found out that we were getting penalized for having the same content on both URLs. So we set it up to redirect the subdomain to the /r/subreddit URL since that was the canonical URL and the cookies didn't matter.

Albert Heijn in the Netherlands interestingly seems to have none of the mentioned problems.

You swipe or scan your items and place them in your bags however you want. If you scan a beer bottle they let you keep going and someone watching sees that you are an adult just remotely ticks a box before you get to the checkout stage.

There is no scale checking the weight of your bags, the only annoyance is that occasionally a worker comes over before you complete your transaction to randomly check what you put in your bags. Aoart from that it's all very fluid.

On the other hand I have experienced all the mentioned problems in Canada at a Provigo in Quebec.

So I think all this is really just a matter of implementation and actually caring about user experience. All if these issues are solvable, the store just has to decide it cares about these issues and not accept a suboar solution.

One difference I'll note, of course a bit of a wild guess, is maybe one of culture. In North America people really don't want to be bothered by random checks, they feel it's a violation of their privacy or personal space. So everything, including security, has to be automated as much as possible. In Europe people are used to the idea of random checks maybe because it's part of the experience of taking public transport.

Postgres is the absolute best you will get for diverse relational data with strict consistency needs and not a huge amount of data of each type (AKA, what databases were created for).

It's second best (or third) for the stuff that historically made people abandon relational databases. But it's absolutely the best choice for its core functionality.

That the developers have already been caught with their hand in the cookie jar and called out on it and apologized once before (for, in their own words, "misrepresenting the license"), and they stated that they would/did remove the term "Open Source" from their site precisely in order to not confuse the issue...

... was, in fact, not addressed.

To the extent that my comment contains speculative claims, the charges are aligned with the developers' undisputed past behavior.

And given that it's blatantly obvious what's going on, even without their previous admission, no one has any obligation to pussyfoot around on things like giving the benefit of the doubt. There is no doubt here—no reasonable doubt, at least. Only willful mendacity.

Official python docs are awful. Same with MSDN. Docs should be more than just the auto-generated pydocs which just parrot the function signature—which I can easily infer because I can, you know, read.

For any sufficiently complex function that requires me to actually look up the docs, I want example usage. Not all arguments are obvious. Not all return types are obvious. This is especially bad for overloaded functions. Worse is when docs requires a circular graph traversal of clicking endless links to more documentation.

Needless to say, I prefer content farms and blogs to the official docs.
