Most of these (like spotify) aren't the companies' logo, just their name. Spotify has a green logo. Facebook an F in a blue square. Pinterest the styled P from their 'old' logo. Microsoft uses the stylized windows flag.

Sure, it makes sense that the word you put next to your logo doesn't distract attention too much.

The fashion brands seem to be the exception. But then, this overview leaves out the theme of fashion brands that DO have a separate logo (often a monogram), and who blast it all over their designs like a pattern, like LV, Gucci and D&G.

Cherry picking?
We are all completely empowered to accept or reject all advice.

Separately from that, there's a question of "which strategy is most likely to yield a good outcome." EG - you are welcome to get 100% of your calories from junk food, which is separate from our ability to discuss that you'll probably have a better life doing something different.

On this sleep thing - one can do whatever the hell they want, and of course they may have limits in place that are unique to them. Which doesn't preclude us talking about what would be best and then whether we want to and can get there.

A big problem here is that when the government makes a classic public relations play like they did the first time around, they get utterly demolished by American TikTokers posting their propaganda on TikTok and brutally mocking it, and unlike all other platforms TikTok doesn't support easy censorship of such responses.

I think if they were smart they'd be more low key and focus on censoring posts (which are now stored in the US I believe?), trying to take TikTok down seems like it will continue to blow up in their face.
The gentleman who said that is Italian, is it possible that he just uses a different variety of English and the phrase didn't mean what you think it means?

He also said: “Batteries, SSD, many things will not any longer be sealed into the product but will be available for the customer to be to repaired on site and then save a lot of waste,”

To me this implies a general improvement for repairability by anyone that knows how to crack the chassis. 'will not any longer' is also an interesting word choice. I would avoid getting lawyeristic with anything not in a written edited press release.
Aside from some scaling issues, it still is a great solution for having real-time insight into the performance of Varnish and the cache.

We even went as far as writing a Golang version of the VCS server to better handle some of the scaling challenges. I don’t remember the exact library that we are using to call into ZeroMQ, but the CGO overhead was minimal.
'Russification' was the Soviet era policy of creating unity throughout the constitutional states of the USSR by diluting nationalist sentiment through the imposition of a common language, along with the migration of ethnic Russians to countries where they were not already a majority. Paradoxically and ostensibly an anti-nationalist move, it can of course also be seen - and be more readily seen - as a form of hyper nationalism.

All of the former Soviet Republics, mirroring the former Warsaw Pact countries, are now accelerating their de-Russification

I used to have a lot of financial anxiety when I was younger. These days I thought I was pretty well set but the increase in prices for everything has been kind of a wake up call, especially housing! Kind of shocking when SFH's in my southern suburb went from costing ~ 400k in 2017 to ~ 800k now. What blows me away is that it appears to have no bearing to what people can actually afford? I make multiples of the local median household income and even I'm starting to worry about affordability if I ever needed more space.

I worked on a similar greenfield project around the same time and we looked at RabbitMQ and Kafka, eventually going the RabbitMQ route. We were also developing an on-prem COTS product, and zookeeper played a big role in our decision to go with RMQ, not to mention at the time CloudAMQP had a very generous free tier (not so much anymore, but it's still okay-bordering-decent). No one install would ever hit the scale where Kafka makes sense so I still think it was a good call pushing 10 years later.

I love the confetti and easy tech (just PHP and MySQL) for self hosting!

But browsing the marketing site, you have a lot of AI tools for prioritizing lists. This is 100% the place where I don’t want things to move without me knowing. My biggest complaint with JIRA/Monday/etc is they have some entity representing “tasks”, that’s displayed in a million different perspectives. Finding a thing is usually what I want to do and I hate it when stuff disappears or changes in a view I was using.

No matter how good your tool is at prioritizing, it will be wrong some percentage of the time and while it’s a little annoying to skim a big unsorted unchanging list, it’s even worse when it changes ALL the time.

I wasn't personally bothered by your post, but I would still suggest that you not do that.

You are suggesting that a ChatGPT output can serve as a reference of some sort. That is not correct. Mentally prefix any ChatGPT response with "A plausible sounding answer to that question is..."

Given that, what is the purpose of your post? Are you asking if what the LLM says is indeed the correct origin of the "barrel" term? Or did you do the research and discover that it is the right meaning, but couldn't come up with the right wording to express that and so relied on ChatGPT, yet you still wanted to be transparent about using it?

Posting ChatGPT responses is fine imho, but they don't mean anything by themselves. For a joke or something, they wouldn't need to. But if you're using it to convey information or ask a question, you have to say so along with the plausible goop it spat out.
Note: armchair reply, I don't know enough astro whatnots to substantiate this take:

That implies that you can actually move the black hole; a black hole producing 1G requires it to be as heavy (or, to have as much attraction) as the earth itself. It would be a lot more compact - a black hole as heavy as the earth is about the size of a ping pong ball - but if my intuition is correct, would require as much force to move as it would to move the earth.

Exactly! The mathematical aspect of Bayes' Theorem is a simple algebraic manipulation of conditional probabilities.

Another way to intuitively justify your middle two equations is to visualise a Venn diagram with overlapping circles representing A and B, such that areas correspond to probabilities. Then P(B|A) is the area of the overlap - i.e. P(A,B) - divided by the area of A - i.e. P(A).

Would definitely concur, and add that it's frustratingly hard to find small pills of melatonin.

I remember going to a presentation where the presenter was describing a clinical trial they were performing where they gave melatonin to some people for some reason I can't remember. But when they mentioned that they were giving 20mg each night the presenter noticed the look of absolute horror on my face. I almost asked them whether they wanted the participants to wake up again the next day.

I used to take half a milligram nightly, and did for about ten years. Recently I have been so exhausted all the time that I no longer have any trouble getting to sleep. Also, I think my body clock has changed now that I'm ten years older, because it does. I slept better when I stopped taking it, even though I definitely found it useful for a long time.

Flash Heating Plastic Waste Could Produce Green Hydrogen and Graphene
Often when I can't think of a solution, and my attempts have failed, I inadvertently stop paying attention and just start messing around with words on the screen in the IDE. Pen and paper helps me focus on the problem.

Also, when thinking of a solution, and I'm starting to form an idea in my head, typing it into an IDE can make me lose focus unless the idea is already very clearly outlined in my head. It's happened to me before that while I have a partially formed idea in my mind, I type it into the IDE, and a large window of completion suggestions, or a red underline from a typo, distract me and I forget the idea I was thinking about, and I have to start over.

I was diagnosed with ADD; it could be I'm just more easily distracted than other programmers.

>There's an elaborate economic rationale for second-price auctions, including that they avoid "winner's remorse." Leave it to the late-stage "improvers" to say, "hey, we can capture some of that gap between first and second place!"

The reason Google uses second price auctions is because first price auctions incentive constant bid changes. The stability increases the money Google makes.

edit: For more context, and ignoring the whole generalized second price auction parts, the revenue from first and second price auctions is the same. In theory with optimal bidding and the usual assumptions of auction theory papers. The difference is that in a second price auction your optimal bid is independent of the other bidders. In a first price auction your optimal bid is dependent on the expected distribution of other bidders. In theory with all the usual auction theory assumptions. In reality with online auctions this meant a lot of churn in bids and a preference for bidding more conservatively. Which isn't good for advertisers or the revenue of the company running the auction. Second price auctions mostly solve this especially if you adjust the minimum auction price (ie: reserve price) per auction.

edit2: A great way to get more money is to have advertisers think they're bidding in a second price auction while actually running something closer to a first price auction. Which is essentially what the article talks about.

> He examines the "sans serif invasion", which he argues is creating a "sea of sameness" in tech and fashion logos. He thinks that since around 2017, brands have started to see "being unique as a handicap" and have decided it was better to be like everyone else.

Ha, I remember seeing exactly the same article when the font of choice was a bouncy, rounded sans-serif in the mid 2000s. Including the graphic roundup of all old logos becoming rounded. I'm certain this has been rehashed as long as we've had graphic design.

Most companies probably just need a simple wordmark—the name of your company in nicely chosen and purposefully set type—to act as their logo. Much cheaper and just as effective.

There are approximately 10^25 companies on the internet, and they all want logos that look like the ones on Dribbble, or ones made by Saul Bass in the 60s. Saul Bass is sui generis, and 90% of the logos on Dribbble are "fake". That is, they are not real client work, just ideas the designer had for a logo they wish they would be asked to make. Notice how most of them are nouns; nouns are easy to illustrate. But most company names aren't nouns, because those have all been taken. In reality, most graphic designers (speaking from experience) are illustrating some variation of a vaguely symmetrical abstract shape symbolizing "trustworthy, stable... but fun!" for a company called Klooble or Zorbnik or the South Muncie Property Alliance.
While I personally find your comment quite insulting, I think that we have pretty brought support for various mainstream Linux distributions and also release binaries, including for MacOS and Windows. For Arch there's even an AUR, and for Fedora it can be also officially installed via `dnf`. Everyone else can grab a binary from the release page.

If there is anything else that you find is missing, I am more than curious to hear about it and we'll evaluate the priorities to include it. Other than that, I'm inviting you to contribute. :-)
>Google gave the second-place bidder a built-in handicap to make their offer more competitive

What does this even mean? The way this handicap works is very important. What if it is just based off ad relevancy.
Isn't that just the common denominator and the desire for something familiar? The brands are casting the broadest net possible to catch all sorts of fish and we the cattle want stuff we know. Also, Microsoft's logo is still the four-colored-windowy-thing and Spotify's logo is still the green-square-with-stripes

I think the legal system understands quite well that it doesn't prove anything (in the mathematical sense), which is why it has different standards of proof.

A 1 in 1 trillion chance would be considered both "beyond reasonable doubt" (enough for criminal matters) and satisfy the much weaker "balance of probabilities" usually applied to civil matters.

Of course there are plenty of examples to point to where people were convicted despite very reasonable doubt.
I take your point but...

1. There are a set of things that are nearly objectively true across nearly all cultures. For example, random killing for selfish purposes is not ok.

2. I'm not a moral relativist, in two senses. First, the "weak" sense: I would prefer to live in some moral systems more than others. Second, in "nearly-strong" sense: some moral systems are 'nearly' objectively better than others (see point above). (Note: my definitions are imprecise; still working on how to square them with existing philosophical writings.)

3. Even for people that evaluate the morality of something according to its effects (consequentialists), there is considerable room to debate the relevant time frame.

There’s two common kinds of auction those with multiple rounds where the final bid wins and those where everyone puts in the maximum amount upfront and the winner pays whatever #2 bid. The second type is much faster but incentivizes the auction house to lie about the #2 bid.

Google did the second type and then got caught lying about bids. Doing so is really tempting but also generally fraud.

A very believable theory is that this is how life on earth started - another ancient civilization shooting the building blocks of life everywhere and hoping something sticks. (panspermia?)

But while this is cute, given the inexorable passage of time and entropy, any evidence that life was planted by ancient aliens has long gone. If it was e.g. a spaceship or meteor, it's been swallowed up by the earth and into the mantle by now.

Unless there's a new source - like aliens making contact - it will remain unknowable.
Ahh okay, the missing piece is that the winner pays the second-highest bid, plus a penny. I can definitely see how this would be fraud, and how it could be justified internally by Google as "it's still less than they bid".
