I'm Kowshik Islam, a Toronto-based software engineer with a knack for building scalable and efficient solutions. I co-created Herald, an open-source observability platform for distributed applications, and spearheaded initiatives in automatic provisioning, microservices architecture, and containerization. Prior to Herald, as a self-employed developer, I contributed to the open-source community through several web apps. My career began at OFGO Studio, where I led the modernization of our existing infrastructure with software tools, transforming us into one of the most efficient companies in our domain. My educational journey is unique: I graduated with a Mechanical Engineering degree from Toronto Metropolitan University (formerly Ryerson University), complemented by the first two years of Computer Science study, and a specialized software engineering track from Launch School.

Yeah many "exotic" characters were introduced to Unicode from Japanese legacy computers 〠〄
Maybe a laser welding robot with some nice object recognition would be a great way to get rid of these.
https://fakeyou.com has unlimited free RVC without an account. The UI needs work, though.
It's a plus to me

I wish Jellyfin had something similar, as my current process involves manually tagging things with a tag that isn't visible, then removing that tag once I've reviewed it.
Thank you for this post. Why isn't there a down vote button on articles?
I agree, it is correct, but disingenuous. Especially when you thrown in "dragged on".
That's not true.

First of all, no website owner in their right mind is going to block Bing.

Second of all, they have to detect that you're a bot in the first place. Most sites don't employ sophisticated anti-bot technology. Simply running a headless browser (which you need to do anyways for JavaScript) with a common user-agent, and slow enough browsing not to be rate-limited, will let you index 99.9+% of sites.
You'd be surprised - for a number of musicians it's not about sight reading notation and playing fom there, it's about developing musical talent and variations and adding in formal notation reading | writing later.

I've known a family of three siblings who all played in the state orchestra in their teens and only one was a fluent reader, the other two were extremely good musicians that practised hard and either very slow worked through written music note by note, or, once familiar with a piece looked at a page of music with a helicopter view, not reading" individual notes, but tracking off entire blocks .. like seeing a page of text w/out wearing glasses.

From the same music roots, some years later, Tim Minchin- admittedly more an Entertainer than a pure Musician - but none the less someone that made their name and living from performing original and relatively complex music on stage playing piano and singing - also doesn't read music:

I was just looking at wingstop menu and saw "70 Cent Boneless Wings" available only on certain days. Looked like a good deal for the image next to it. After clicking through I find it's per wing. made me feel old (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VA7J0KkanzM) for falling for it
Hmm, this doesn't have any contact info.
whatever elon says it is. or more accurately its inversely proportional to how oversold the region is. for much of the west coast, its very not good, especially at peak times.
Indeed, that's the second layer of meaning. Yet another meaning is that in eastern philosophy, mastering symbols is how one develops the higher abstract mind, so it can see truths directly, rather than relying on the rational mind that's called "the destroyer of reality" for its ability to bury truths under piles of thought models.
I’m in NYS and we get lots of stink bugs. I usually just grab them with a paper towel, squeeze it, and throw it in the garbage or toilet.

The thing is, I’ve never actually smelled the odor.

YMMV, as I'm sure people are preparing to reply to me.

If you have the option to choose another high speed internet provider (>50Mbps) that isn't Starlink, then Starlink probably isn't the right choice. For people who have no other choice, Starlink is a big improvement over traditional satellite internet.
Unless aws makes an agreement to not charge you transfer costs, they often do for various open source and software projects like this.
It doesn't seem possible for FOSS folks/projects to apply to this one, you have to get noticed by employees of the companies involved and get them to nominate you?
If DDG or Kagi had an index large enough to cover the long tail of the web like Bing and Google do, we'd know about it. They'd have large data centers of their own, not to mention the papers and patents covering all the optimizations necessary to crawl, index and serve that without losing money. Instead, that work is outsourced to Teragoogle and whatever its Bing counterpart is called.

"The web is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is."
Seems like they aren't funding projects right now.
This is an incredibly naive take on an issue that is wide spread in China to the point of it being almost the norm.

Confucianism does not lend itself well to crucial infrastructure , you know, things you don’t want to collapse.

It’s an entire mindset.
I gently pick up the stinkbugs and toss them outside. Works great. Sure, one still gets me once in a while, but it's extremely rare.
how can you bootstrap a confectionary business to 100m? curious how that was possible at all to pay for marketing/sales in a cutthroat industry like the food business
There are traps that you can buy or make for lanternflies.

They work absurdly well. It’s basically an upside down plastic bottle with a net funnel attached to the side of a tree.

For some reason lanternflies will only climb upwards. So they climb up the net into the bottle and then just stay in there trying to climb up and die.
Amazon had A9 and that didn't seem to go anywhere. Not convinced Apple would end up with anything but another Bing.
Do you have children? Or Single or DINK? I feel it’s almost impossible to do FIRE while having a high bar on kids education and general quality of life (based on experiences and not material possessions). Would love to hear counterpoints to be educated on this more.

Yeah, it's quite impressive how far Flutter and especially its web version have come, with the experimental WASM GC backend, it's nearly instant, around 300ms to load uncached and 150ms cached for Flutter's basic counter application. It used to load on the order of seconds just a few short years ago.

Oh damn, that's misleading. And also quite a lot of CO2 for just sending data!
The first time I head sampled digital audio on a computer was on a Sun 3 workstation circa 1990 which had a high end 68k micro processor. It was a clip from "Layla" by Derek and the Dominoes

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TngViNw2pOo

which is featured in this television commercial

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2eGWW8KOQio

and got somebody in the computer lab to ask "Hey man, is that Freedom Rock?"

The thing was that computer progress was frozen in midair for a time in the early 1980s; computers like the TRS-80, Apple ][, C-64 and game consoles like the Atari 2600 all outlasted the projections of their makers because all of the parts from software to the CPU to video system (e.g. the CPU clock was usually slaved to the video refresh of NTSC television) were tightly coupled and making any substantial improvements would mean dumping everything and starting over, particularly with all new software because you didn't have real operating systems back then.

It was by the late 1980s, when the PC AT clones were established that you could really buy a computer one year that was a lot better than last year's model because architectures had advanced to the point where they could do that and keep compatibility.

So processing PCM audio went from impossible to difficult to easy to trivial and video was not far behind.

The free ride of clock rates going up and power consumption going down didn't stop until 2005, but each die shrink kept resulting in cheaper transistors until... just about now. It's not accidental at all that enthusiasts are complaining that NVIDIA 40-series GPUs aren't more cost effective than 30-series GPUs or simply greed; the economic engine of Moore's Law is dead, international competition and dirigisme might lead to another generation or two more than the free market would have delivered on its own. We've had a long time of getting better performance through more cores, wider SIMD, specialized architectures, etc. but it's going to take something big like true 3-d integration, semiconductors past silicon, or superconducting logic gates for performance to improve... Or maybe the revolution will be in "doing more with less".
It’s good to step on them.
Are we so out of touch? No, it's the children who are wrong.
Yeah, mine is $120/mo for fixed
Sources? Has this worked for you? Maybe this is something I'll try.
Is it possible to automate that via webhook or something similar? You could have whatever media acquisition program you use set that tag, and then remove it whenever you're done. Would eliminate 50% of the steps, until more granular abilities are added

The sad think is, one day this kind of shit will be actually the reality.
Nope, I'm saying that people advertised that the lockdown allowed them to work less.
Same, FCP Euro is fantastic!
Yes, exactly. Suburbanites generally have more ability to move their kids to private schools if they want to. So the public schools have a higher bar to clear to keep attendance high.
If the same effort were put into software stacks for this as gets put into stacks for cloud-first development and massively scalable devops, there would be lots of canned solutions to all these problems that are very mature and stable. You wouldn't have to know what a CRDT is or how NAT hole punching works any more than you need to know how a data center fabric or a SAN works to use cloud.

Companies can do a lot of things that are morally reprehensible without fear of legal consequences. It doesn’t make it OK, and it certainly doesn’t mean that they have “a right” to behave that way.
This was a solution to the UUIDv7 problem of being time-dependend and therefore may leak information. Create the UUIDv7 in advance by batch of 10,000, use these randomly, and you fix that problem.

Email: michael.beigelmacher@gmail.com

Hi, my name is Michael and through my career I've been a bit of a jack-of-all-trades but have been focusing on software development the last couple of years. I've also worked as a math tutor, data science and IT consultant and have done some freelance projects to stay sharp and play with new tech. I love getting into the weeds to solve some problem especially when there is a human element, and I also love building products and learning new things.

Ideally I'm looking for something full-time, but I'm also happy to work on a contract basis in the meantime. Hope I can help!
You're acting like it's really easy to avoid these problems. Something like TOR has updates over time. Unless TOR pre-submits every patch to MS before every release, there's no guaranteed way to handle it. And something like TOR can change in all sorts of ways between releases.
Microsoft's size is part of what makes their testimony so valuable to the government here. If even Microsoft's CEO is willing to testify under oath that Google's practices make breaking into search impossible, that's extremely relevant to the case. Leaving that testimony out because there are smaller companies that are also hurt would be foolish. The ideal witness makeup would be composed of a combination of large, medium, and small competitors all saying the same thing.
I mean, there’s definitely a date in the past before which this definition is not useful. On the other hand, if a human learns something new, but nobody else does as a consequence of that, has human knowledge advanced? There are always edge cases—occasionally the mere awareness that something is possible has allowed others to rediscover the method—but generally I’d say no.

That does not mean that dissemination of new information has to work like it does now. The Republic of Letters was very different but quite successful. But if you have taken no effort to make your discovery available to others, I’d say you’re not advancing the cause of human learning; if you have taken effort to ensure it is not available, like what many patents aim for nowadays, I’d say you’re working against it.
Fingers crossed I have not seen the lantern fly's in Michigan yet. Stinkbugs were more prevalent about 2 years ago, but not as much recently.

The stink bugs are my arch nemesis as their scent chemical is probably the most repulsive scent imaginable for me. It smells exactly like cilantro, too. When I lived in Virginia they were everywhere.

My stink bug weapon is a 2-liter soda bottle filled about 50% with warm water blended with dish soap. I fill a bottle with warm water, drizzle some soap inside, shake it up and it is good to go. I will walk around my home with the bottle slightly squeezed so that once I release the squeeze it creates a vacuum effect. I'll position the nozzle of the bottle right below the bug as I release and it sucks them in every time. They fall into a foamy bubble bath and die a silent death. I've collected hundreds of them with this method. Fortunately this year I have only seen 2 on my property.

protip do not use a vacuum cleaner to suck up stink bugs as it will essentially turn the exhaust port on the vacuum into a cilantro/stinkbug scent emitter machine
Bah, no need for all that understanding. Just find an old config file and change the variables.

Never fails!
60% sure this is an mostly just an idea on their end and this `launch` is a test to see if the idea is worth pursuing for them
I've posited a reasonable mechanism that explains a phenomenon. We know stores fail if they don't provide competitive service - which means those that survive do a good enough job to survive... why shouldn't schools function similarly? No one (including school administrators) really tries hard to succeed if failure isn't a possibility.

If you have an alternate explanation, I'm all ears.
misrepresentation -> misinformation
I'm curious what you call not good, though. <20Mbps? <10? Or 70?

Does it still beat a 3 mile DSL run?
"In summary, CSS is, first and foremost, a division of social science whose goal is to generate knowledge about society and the social human and make it accessible to everyone."

Huh? That's a field?

Computational social science should be devoted to developing testable theories with predictive power. "Making it accessible" is a job for popular science writers, not researchers. Of course, if you can create theories with proven predictive power, you're probably going to do better at McKinsey or Black Rock than in academia.
Pollution is pollution.

Also, weirdly enough, the recent huge spikes in temperature we’ve seen worldwide has in part been due to regulations put in place to prevent some giant barges from burning the dirtiest fuel possible, preventing huge amounts of sulfur dioxide from blanketing our oceans. That gas actually causes cloud seeding and the lack of it recently has significantly increased global temperatures. Scientists are now scrambling to figure out a less toxic way of emulating exactly the effect those huge barges had to block the suns radiation. Just wanted to throw that in because these conversations are can be more complex than they seem on the surface.
There two dead end technologies of the 1990s that combined magnetism and lasers in different ways.

That ZIP disc was a "floptical" disk that worked basically like a floppy but used a laser to read grooves on the disc that improved alignment and let them pack tracks in denser.

There also were "magneto-optical" discs that would use a laser to heat a spot on a disc and allow recording spots much smaller than the magnetic head. It could read out finer too because the laser could read the magnetic fields with

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerr_effect

Some examples of those were the MO drive on the NEXT cube and Sony's mini-discs for music which I think are fun to collect but I had the laser burn out on my portable which can write tracks with metadata out of my PC and gotta either find another one with a working laser or settle for recording on my big decks without metadata.
I know what you mean, seen it a lot lately. It’s sort of a blend between modern white space-heavy hero-page style layout and Web 1.0 geocities chaos.

Really, the explanation is that suburban schools generally have a greater proportion of students from the socioeconomic and demographic groups that do better no matter where they are; typical metrics of school quality don't measure the effect of the school, but what the school is working with.
I'd love to hear how Haskell fell out. Someone important rotate out?
Then we can get a random sample of UUIDs in sufficient number from the batch, send it to the client at the beginning of the session along with the other data, lock that batch until the client releases the session to avoid duplicate use, and have the client use these UUIDs until they run out, at which point it can request a new batch.
Interesting. I usual try to sneak up on them from behind as they see / sense when I didn't.

They're quick but don't seem to have stamina. That is, first stomp might miss. Second stomp might sometimes misses as well. But by the third the battle is over. I win.
They may be getting better, but they're still pretty stupid. Also if you decide not to stomp one and instead pick it up by its wings, it just instantly gives up and stops moving. I got too tempted one time and ended up eating one.
