Though unsuccessful, another of Brunel's interesting use of technical innovations was the atmospheric railway ... Instead of using locomotives, the trains were moved by Clegg and Samuda's patented system of atmospheric (vacuum) traction, whereby stationary pumps sucked the air from a pipe placed in the centre of the track.

The section from Exeter to Newton (now Newton Abbot) was completed on this principle, and trains ran at approximately 68 miles per hour (109 km/h).[59] Pumping stations with distinctive square chimneys were sited at two-mile intervals.

Thats amazing, but I guess it kindof sucked
> Yes, this family of flaws would have been impossible if curl had been written in a memory-safe language instead of C

It could have been impossible, but you never know if there is a way to escape language VM barriers. However, the author clearly ignored the DNS hostname limit stated in RFC1123 [1], which is hardcoded even in Java libraries.

Yeah in the USA and Ivory Coast maybe.
The hype about "on time all the time" is a well-loved-by-foreign-media myth in Japan. Yes, many trains are nearly perfect (Shinkansen, especially), but plenty of Tokyo metro lines are delayed by a few minutes during the daily rush hour crush. The point: They run so many damn trains, you can just get on another one.

You're obviously being sarcastic. But Uber really is an improvement on pre-Uber traditional taxi services, where you can call and not really be sure if or when a taxi will show up.

Uber was really two innovations: (1) using an app to reserve a taxi and (2) making the process and the product reliable, customer-friendly and consistent.

How exactly? Does that ever happen to anyone? In UK it's very common to give your card details over the phone(which is stupid, but unfortunately that's how the system works) and I don't think your call being intercepted is much of a concern.
That's very "draw the rest of the owl"!
It doesn't really matter HOW they do it, as long as you get the advantages of float encoding (practically infinite headroom). Of course if you zoom in enough there will be something in there that uses integers, but this would be true for e.g. a floating point adder as well.
My mirrorless definitely beats my iPhone. But I have to put in more time, it’s not with me at all times and I need to transfer the images.

In the end, the best camera is the one I have with me. And if I can take a pretty good portrait shot of my kid while I’m at a diner then I’m happy.

To me, the memory/moment is more important than the “quality”.
I've been using a garmin for a while and it looks like my HRV gets worse as my propensity for a headache / migraine increases. It would be interesting to see if there is any correlation with brain activity and the other bio information it gathers so I can perhaps create an early warning system - not sure what it will do though, perhaps I'll just start my anti-migraine ritual sooner and maybe abort more than currently.

I can sympathise with this, unfortunately I have no helpful suggestions! I used to have no problems doing presentations and in the last year I ended up having to do a few for my masters mainly over zoom (or teams and google meets), and I have no idea why, but doing online presentations causes me a proper fight or flight response where I feel like I’m going to pass out. A couple of weeks ago, I had to do another presentation at work, again via zoom because it was to not just the people at my workplace - but across our entire network and I felt breathless the whole time and an impending sense of doom and afterwards I felt light headed and dizzy for a while. I had panic attacks as a kid, and grew out of them. Then they’ve made a comeback triggered only by zoom (and other video call technology). It’s super weird. With the number of presentations I’ve had to do, I’d have thought I’d have got used to it, but it just gets worse.
Thank you very much for your feedback! Let me explain these questions.

1. Secret management: We did have a secret as code solution in a previous version, but we removed it because we upgraded our App model and the old user guide is not appropriate. We will refresh it later. The idea behind the guide is still the same. If you are interested in the older version, you can check out this link. (https://github.com/KusionStack/kusionstack.io/blob/b0fb8296d...)

2. Another declarative closed loop: Tools like Pulumi and Terraform mainly focus on provisioning resources but Kusion focuses on the software development life cycle(SDLC) which contains other components like rollouts, policies, monitoring, etc. In fact, Kusion is utilizing Terraform to manage cloud resources (https://kusionstack.io/docs/user_docs/concepts/kusion#runtim...).
In other words, what Kusion wants is to build an open-source developer platform that can integrate your existing infrastructures to boost the App Dev's efficiency, not another wheel.

Kusion is an open-source project that is still in its early stages, and we are actively working on enriching our ecosystem. We are also looking for friends and partners to build this project together. Feel free to contact me and all feedback is welcomed and appreciated :)
Microsoft forced to backtrack on OneDrive storage change after user backlash
how is that bad? You still have all the features until the opensource version and can fork it to your liking, no?
>It's probably a couple decades away, but at least it's feasible.

That seems far outside the realm of what should be patentable.
They killed consumer point and shoots, not professional interchangeable lens cameras.
Nintendo does support Vulkan as first class citizen on switch, and there high chance this is the reason of so many ports (besides units sold)
Video encoding is a software feature, the sensor doesn't pick up Prores or HEVC therefore the product you are talking about is the software. The hardware has very little to do with it the video encoding other than possibly provide acceleration.

As I said in the other comment in this thread, if you don't need prores you probably don't need to use the BMD app since the footage captured in HEVC on the stock app is likely good enough for your use case.
- Apple blocking Nvidia drivers

- Apple Silicon not supporting EGPUs

- Apple not adapting Vulkan and went with Metal exclusively

...
I think he's just a complete genius, honestly. I don't think it's possible for a vast majority of us to be on that level
Depends what you're having most trouble with.

One big thing for me was to keep track of small bugs/improvements that don't immediate attention as well as some larger features I wanted to add going forward. For both of those I use the issue tracker in my private repo.
The article says that you call and then speak to an "agent". I wonder if they mean a human agent, or if it's an AI.

But instead it's Apple.
How would you send a data to printer that is in separate subnet?

Maybe they are using an outdated version of nitter
Indeed. Maybe.

When people turn up at the IETF and want to repeat a bad idea, that's the kind of thing they say. They say "the reasons why foo was bad don't necessarily apply to bar" while waving their hands. They try try to make it sound as if the reasons actually don't apply, usually without having much idea about what the reasons were.
I like both the Bond and Smiley books, but I've never understood why people are so quick to directly compare the two characters. Smiley is a man of politics and intrigue, while Bond is a boots-on-the-ground assassin.

Bond would be better compared with a character like Ricki Tarr. The 00 section seems to exist in the Smiley organization, they're called the 'scalphunters'. Here's Carre's description:

"The scalphunters' official name was Travel. They had been formed [...] in the pioneer days of the cold war, when murder and kidnapping and crash blackmail were common currency [...] They were a small outfit, about a dozen men, and they were there to handle the hit-and-run jobs that were too dirty or too risky for the residents abroad."

Sounds a lot like Bond. Tarr even shows up at the office unexpectedly, having problems with a woman, wanting money...
While I understand the sentiment, I think we might not necessarily need more people in the world, but enable more people who already came to life to live up to their potential.
Too much human potential is wasted in under developed regions.
> I understand Rust doesn't have any GUI frameworks (like Qt), but is this the way, then?

Yes. If you want to build a cross-platform desktop app with Rust, Tauri + React would also be me recommendation right now.

Tauri makes it quite easy to drop down to Rust if you need to (for high-performance operations and everything interfacing with the OS), and it also comes with pre-built packaging for the main different platforms. With React you are able to leverage a great ecosystem that has existing UI components for many things (unlike most native Rust GUI frameworks). It also allows you to reuse you frontend engineers and all their expertise when it comes to web technologies (and working with designers).
This may be a trivial question but do they continuously refinance with leverage? Let's say that the property was built 20 years ago, has been operating since then, will there be any mortgage left on it?
From a JavaScript ecosystem perspective, these choices are hostile.

Ideally Elm core development should have kept up to make up for these restrictions, but it didn't. Yet, IMHO, it was still the right choice.
I was considering buying the sleep tracking mat, and I'm sure it mentioned it had dynamic waking similar to what you mention - to be honest I looked at so many devices though. (Also would be useful for turning off un-needed devices around the house when I jump into bed!)
Already opened a bug report for that: https://github.com/spacedriveapp/spacedrive/issues/1481
So many of these seem commonplace now! Son of a gun, spanking (as in "brand spanking new" and the physical act, apparently), spick and span, scamp, and slum, randomly taken from the S-es alone. Surely not all from thieves' cant, reality can't be that cool.
Hmmm doesn't appear on my firefox, but I tested and the tooltip appear in ungoogled-chromium so I guess it is blocked by an extension I am using.

An Ask an Earth-Scientist answer by Dr. Gerard Fryerm suggests a few meters is possible.

>"Will part of Vancouver Island "break off and sink," or "split in two at Alberni Inlet?" No. In a big earthquake the seafloor offshore from Vancouver Island will be uplifted and the area along the coast will sink, but at worst that sinking will only be a few meters. If you live very close to the beach and close to sea level then there is a possibility that your house will be flooded, but no big piece of the island is going to break off and disappear. It is possible that there will be submarine landslides along the steepest slopes offshore, but each of those is likely only be small in extent.

Apple's "gaming" strategy is a lot of microtransaction riddled games while they get 30% cut.

Everything that doesn't follow that pattern gets the boot.
Could you be more specific? All I saw was:

Host software MUST handle host names of up to 63 characters and
SHOULD handle host names of up to 255 characters.

I don't see where the RFC sets a upper limit on host name size.
This reminds me of being introduced to "Fugglers" via a message on twitter ages ago - apparently the maker had found a bag of teeth and decided to use it to make cuddly toys. Bought my ex a customised one, perhaps worth some decent money nowadays.
From my experience it's the same like conventional taxi except you don't have to talk to anyone.

Your phone can handle your payment details and the payment itself as well.

The GPS can help you find out where you actually are and feed that to the app if you have a hard time keeping track of that.
Seems like you'd need to set the Socks5 options manually to (lib?)curl which means parsing that PAC/WPAD file manually in your application and configuring curl based on its outcome? How many applications actually do this?
Most encoders apply a low pass filter to cut off frequencies above 16kHz. Some do it above 18kHz but most choose 16kHz as default setting. This is common in all lossy codecs - mp3, aac etc.
Title should include "code generation language model".
There were Taxi-apps in use in Germany before Uber became a thing here. What Uber had was infinite pockets and the willingness to simply ignore the general existence of regulations their competitors complied to.
I’ve been using mistral and code llama to generate large volumes of code recently, and I have to say…

These small models just suck compared to the larger ones.

It get it, they’re quick and cheap (ha! Relatively) to make and good for research and fine tuning…

…but can anyone here speak authoritatively on fine tuning and getting good results out?

I’ve been super disappointed by how bad even the q6 13B code llama model is at generating consistent code (Ie. It even compiles, forget doing what you asked) > about 30 lines in length.

These smaller model seem good for a line or two, maybe, but gosh… it’s an effort to do anything useful with them out of the box.

Carefully crafted prompt.

Tests, hand written.

Iterate: prompt, compile, run tests, generate code metrics. Accept code that passes the tests and beats the target threshold.

You’re looking at like 7-10 iterations per prompt to get anything for simple (< 30 lines) functions, and maybe no candidates after 30 iterations for longer complex requests.

Are people just using this for 5 line code snippets and autocomplete?

Or is there a way to get better results by fine tuning?
There is more discernible levels of lagging between "instantly" and "1-2s", and more levels above "a weekend".

For example, for about 3 years I worked on a project where I had to send the code I wrote to an external entity to get it compiled and signed before I could run it on my device. It took one week at the minimum. I had to completely change the approach to my personal coding process as well as development process in general. It was so powerful that even to this day I am developing for days without compiling code and people are very surprised it usually runs on the first try -- if you can write in ANSI C for a week and have it running on the first try, doing the same in Java is a piece of cake.

Trust me, waiting for a week for your code to run is very different from waiting for a weekend, where you can leave your computer on Friday and plan to conduct your tests on Monday.

Other even larger orders of delay concern ability to change things in the environment. For example annoying things like broken process, broken automation, etc. In one company you could be able to fix things on your own, sometimes in minutes. In other companies you could face multi-month wait to get even slightest changes. If you have to wait for a quarter to get a new Jira ticket field you are not very likely to do it or care for the process in general.

Then you have the world of shorter delays.

Things that take a millisecond will usually already require you to take this into account when you work with it. Can I do this in a loop? Can I recalculate this whenever I need or do I need to cache the value? Etc. Whatever the solution, it costs you a bit of your focus and as we all know, focus is the main resource of software developer.

Then you go to 20-50 milliseconds and this is where users notice delays. It is not as snappy as it was even if they can't exactly specify what changed.

By the time you get to 200ms, the users will complain the application is slow and irritating, especially if they spend a lot of time in it clicking on things.
Routine test reveals unique divergence in genetic code
Uber isn't replacing street hails. When you call a taxi company there's no certainty if or when they'll actually turn up.
Speaking of photography and the progression of technology (and not spoiling the amazing final scene of the story) I highly recommend reading this poignant prescient classic:

"The Wedding Album" short story by David Marusek

>"Wait a minute!" shouted Benjamin, waving his arms above his head. "I get it now. we're the sims!" The guests laughed, and he laughed too. "I guess my sims always say that, don't they?" The other Benjamin nodded yes and sipped his champagne. "I just never expected to be a sim," Benjamin went on. This brought another round of laughter, and he said sheepishly, "I guess my sims all say that, too."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wedding_Album_(short_story...

>"The Wedding Album" is a science fiction short story by David Marusek. It was first published in Asimov's Science Fiction in June 1999.

>Synopsis:
After their wedding, Anne and Ben realize that they are merely recordings of the real Anne and Ben, destined to relive the hours surrounding the wedding for all eternity.

https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/13576562

>With wedding photos and videos and mementos of all kinds, newlyweds attempt to hold on to their special day and to cherish it forever. Someday technology may enable us to record not only our appearance and voices but everything we know, feel, fear, and love at the moment the shutter clicks. Then our wedding mementos, like Anne and Ben’s in this story, take on a life of their own in a world where love may be eternal, but the world is not. Till deletion do us part . . .
A protocol can also have a vulnerability (the term is not constrained to implementation flaws only)
For one reason or another a lot of people have become allergic to the "say address" part, i.e. talking with a total stranger and having a financial transaction with said stranger via physical contact (like handing in cash).
In the end, it will increase standardization and conformity, while at the same time helping non-English speakers to write things.

Whether that is net good or bad is difficult to say: broader perimeter of publishing vs narrower way to portray findings.

Not surprising, since inline has nothing to do with inlining. :)

Hey acquiremoney! I've had experience quitting my job in the past (used to work managing restaurants) due to burnout, took a break for a year and a half to pursue a masters degree as well as work on related side projects, from there I pivoted to a more suitable job & industry for me.

Yes future employers may see that gap and ask why or what have you been doing. I don't think 6 months break would be any concern to them given many people have similar experiences in today's unstable job market. However, anything longer than 6 months (like in my case) and it's best to initiate side projects with clear goals and results that you can translate into valuable assets when interviewing for future companies. As long as the break is for purposes of health, family, or personal development oriented, most interviewers would not penalize you.

Hopefully you have also built up an "emergency fund". This is essentially saved up money that would allow you to live for 6 to 12 months without receiving any salary (hence the name "emergency", in the case of lay-off or situations like this). With an emergency fund you have the leverage. You won't worry about having to suck up to crazy employers or continue working in a job you hate because it "pays your bills" and you have no choice - you can easily quit and look for the next opportunity without much financial anxiety. Of course, you should do your due diligence in researching companies before accepting a job with them, too much job hopping in a short span of time also doesn't look good to interviewers.

Ultimately, jobs are for earning a living, but you are much more than your job or what you do. If you want to take a break, and you can survive that time comfortably without receiving a salary then it's all good!
I absolutely agree with you, we do not need to do anything in the name of progress.

Legacy absolutely should be cultivated and remembered. But never at the cost of rejecting further motion.

Pastoral life was great why it was going on (even remembering all the raids and slavery stuff), but then it could not go on anymore since peasants learned how to build walls and posts and forts. And had a good reason to do so.
This is a great edition of the BBC radio programme In Our Time, about how the engineer Joseph Bazalgette was given the task of building proper sewerage for London after the "Great Stink" of 1858. It's remarkable how much more positive people were about large-scale engineering projects like this, and the participants in the show remark on that (although I do wonder if there were many working class people who hated the idea because it meant e.g. their house was demolished to make way for the works but they had no power to stop it).

It's good to treat your music collection as an archive - it's not unheard of that artists pull their albums from Bandcamp or other services, with no possibility for you to redownload it if you ever decide that the format you downloaded it in is no longer up for the task. And especially with commercial releases you will never know if buying the release again in some other place will give you the same experience - it might be a bad remaster and getting hold of the original version might be impossible legally.

Japanese is the only script I'm familiar with (other than Latin), and it's very clear to me that the person who drew the hiragana characters in this book wasn't familiar with them as they only vaguely resemble the actual characters. I wonder if there was a bit of a "game of telephone" effect going on too, as the book cites a French encyclopedia as its source, which may also have contained non-native renditions of those characters.

It's also interesting how they refer to the language as Japonese instead of Japanese, which makes sense if they their source was a French encyclopedia, but I wonder if Japan was being referred to as Japon in English too back then.
