That's nonsense. There are many parts that often end up in a state where they are effectively unrepairable. And even if they were, it more often than not makes no sense to repair them manually when they are machines that churn dozens of them per second for unbelievably cheap. You just need access to them.
How would you repair a fried IC on a mobo if you don't have access to the said? You plan on doing atomic level repair on a 10c parts?
If you get a speaker assembly, destroyed by water, pressure or whatever: do you swap the 30c, 20mm part with a new one or spend hours disassembling the thing by hand?

Once I spent hours repairing a touch ID button. I had to micro solder the encryption chip with fly wire (finer than a hair) from the old broken button to the new one. All this is essentially because Apple is incompetent enough to design stuff in a better way and wants to prevent people doing it. All this so they can sell a new phone because the price they are going to quote for this repair will make no sense to the user.
I want to say there surely are better ways than this, but it is an understatement. You can say whatever you want but this needs fixing, and it does not happen without strong political support and new laws...

The way companies can prevent people getting their stuff fixed cheaper because of artificial limitation is ridiculous. And Apple is leading the way with this.

Sure. Let's see them return HTTP 402 Payment Required instead of a free video stream then. I'm actually okay with that.

Somehow I doubt they'll ever do that. They want that mass market appeal, don't they? I know it. You know it. Everyone knows it. Just like the "free" apps who do anything in the world to get themselves installed so they can start monetizing.
The people we're talking about are providing a service for free, with no direct benefit to them. Why would they go into the line of fire for something like that?

> On the contrary, to calculate the distance from the poles to the equator, all you need is a good angle measurement device, from which you can triangulate a distance.

Can you expand on how this can be done please?

Particularly the bit where you measure the semi-major axis and semi-minor axis of the Earth's ellipsoid and how you settle on a particular ellipsoid out of the many that predate WGS84.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth_ellipsoid#Historical_Ear...

"All you need" appears to bury a lot of detail in some hand waving.

It's unclear to me whether you intend to measure a distance along the Geoid (gravitational equipotential surface), along the Ellipsoid (the rotated ellipse of best fit), or the actual suurface (the path that would be walked, floated, traversed from equator to pole).

A complication with the Geoid path family and surface path family, of course, is that these vary by what line of longitude you might follow.
Very true, but for all intents and purposes as long as you get similar non-linearities, the actual design doesn't matter much. People are using neural networks for this now but I would prefer actual hardware. Bonus points if they can make the chip give off the nixie neon glow (maybe add some heavy metals for Cerenkov radiation?)

A lot of the discordance in this thread can be boil down to "different people having different goals when reading". As for Linear Algebra, due to its wide relevance, it is hard for one book to accommodate to all needs of people from different fields and levels of mathematical maturity. I would say there are 2 main reasons for one to study LA:

- To understand and use its toolbox in practice: in fields like computer graphics, engineering, statistics, data analysis, modeling, etc.

- To understand and use its toolbox in other fields of (pure) math: single, multivariable, and functional analysis, abstract algebra, etc.

(Sometimes the latter goal is coupled with a secondary goal of introducing the student to mathematical proof. However, for the self-learners, I don't think using a LA book is good for learning how to write proof for the first time.)

Unlike in calculus where Spivak serves as the one-size-fits-all, readers should identify their reasons before picking an LA book. I have not much experience with the first goal. Strang's book seems quite popular, and given the title, I would say it fits this goal. Axler's book falls squarely into the second goal, and I wager it's a good book for this purpose if not for two things: his avoidance of determinants and the dearth of any computational aspects or applications (yes, even theoretical LA books ought to be grounded in reality). There are three books that, in my opinion, do better than Axler here:

- "Linear Algebra" by Stephen H. Friedberg, Arnold J. Insel, and Lawrence E. Spence: dry, does not instill in me the sense of excitement that Axler does. However, it is comprehensive and rigorous, with a decent amount of explanation and a good selection of exercises. Application aspects are present but quite disparate and incoherent. This is the old and long-standing recommendation.

- "Linear Algebra" by Elizabeth S. Meckes and Mark W. Meckes: a new book that somehow manages to combine the material of Friedberg and the eloquence of Axler. The rigor and exercises are comparable to Friedberg, but the applications are presented much better here.

- "Linear Algebra" by Sterling K. Berberian: a little bit more abstract than the other two, but the exposition is still very clear. It connects LA to other fields of math and gives plenty of examples and motivations (shocking I know). The exercises department is good.

Honorable mentions to the classics of Serge Lang and Paul Halmos. They are concise and, as with the rest of their works, wonderfully written. For "Linear Algebra Done Wrong", well, I feel like it's a stripped down Friedberg: shorter but not better. (The proof of the multiplicativity of determinant is just some hand-waving at "a lucky coincidence".)
There are benefits to standardizing on a single language and codebase, so it may be worth having some code that is less readable or performant in order to optimize for the global maximum and not prematurely introduce too many languages.
There was a Collins revival around the turn of the millennium, when editions of popular classics took on The Moonstone. That book thus appeared on shelves all over the world, including in the meagre English selection of Eastern European bookshops.

Not sure why you say that. Mathematicians are pretty open about it. The well known essay On proof and progress on mathematics discusses it. It is written by a Fields medalist.

Same exact thing here. Inexplicable!
For most people, Moore's law died around 2013 with Haswell or even Ivy Bridge. In 2007, 2001 was forever ago (In particular, 2001-07 involved the jump between the space heater Pentium 4 and proper 64-bit multicore chips such as the Athlon 64 X2 and Intel Core 2 Duo/Quad as well as the growth of dedicated gaming video cards - even the GeForce3 was uncommon, while by 2007 everyone had a video card)

In 2007, CPUs and GPUs were still getting twice as fast (perceptibly) each year. That hasn't been true for a while. Other than lacking a TPM, my i7-3770k machine and GTX 970 runs as fast in desktop use as my i9-9900k+2070 Super, and that machine (which dates to....2019, I think?) still plays new game releases at 1440p just fine.

Recall that most games are designed for the XBox Series X (released 2020) and PS5 (released 2020) and still target that caliber of GPU performance.
> Especially since NATO tries to expand to Ukraine despite saying it would not for decades.

The irony here being that no one promised anything to Russia regarding in any actionable way.

But Russia has multiple treaties where they say they will respect the borders and sovereignty of Ukraine.

If those treaties don’t matter to Russia why should any made up promises regarding NATO matter to anyone else.
I don't think it's nearly as complex as you think. The important measure isn't transistors, but the amount of concepts formed by composing transistors together.

There's no way in hell people can make sense of 19 billion separate concepts. Likely what's going on in the chip is just repeated patterns designed to make a very simple machine operate really really quickly.

But of course I'm not denying the complexity. But the 19 billion implication here is a bit too much. It's likely just as complex as say linux.
So what? Let them stop. Let their "model" stop working.
Be serious here.

You can manage where mid-rolls are placed, but that requires the uploader to actually care enough to carve out natural pause points and then specify them as manual ad breaks in YouTube studio.

Most just rely on the auto-ad placement, which claims to intelligently place them in natural breakpoints, but in practice is absolutely terrible at it.

Whenever uBlock crashes and gets auto-disabled by Chrome, I'm always impressed by the sheer dearth of quality ads. Gone are the days of soda ads and movie trailers, now YouTube just serves up some TTS portrait video with the camera barely in focus talking about the most mind-numbing scam products imaginable, an Evangelical church talking about how Trump is the second coming of Christ (which feels like a pretty blatant violation of the first commandment, and probably also the second, but hey, I'm an apostate, so what would I know...), or just straight up MLM pitches.
Typical part of an acquisition process is a 'terms sheet' and usually terms sheets contain very explicit non-poaching clauses to stop the company that says they want to acquire doing an end run around the process by bulk hiring the people instead of acquiring the stock.

> "A lack of planning on your behalf, does not constitute an emergency upon mine."

Depends on your relationship with the person who planned poorly: if you truly don't care, then you run the risk of becoming known as the jerk engineer who isn't a team player. The reality is that employees are generally expected to cover for each other to provide the (paying) customer with consistent support.

If the party who planned poorly was the customer, you have to decide whether they're paying you enough to scramble for them, and whether you want their accolades or their ire. My M.O. is to support my customers through thick and thin (within reason, of course), which tends to get me repeat business and referrals.

Yes, going out of your way for your customers is good for business. Give a shit.

comedy is awareness, and awareness is an important first step. But awareness is not hard proof. It's at best a step to start investigations with.

So I don't know what you want me to say. I do see it both ways. Maybe there is a point, but nothing I can argue in a real capacity.

Indeed. but FG can be strangely prohetic at times. Not always (Trump Guy aired in like, 2019, 3-4 years after everyone made every joke in the book. And FG didn't add much there), but said episode aired in 2012. So we're talking nearly a decade before the internet consensus started taking this hard cynical anti-capitalistic approach.

One other point, and this is not specific to CanLII (I haven't checked whether this is the case) but I've seen that a lot of legislation databases have poor SEO. In fact, AustLII is usually ranked higher than governments' own websites when searching for laws.

I see. Indeed very much happenstance.

Still it gives me a tiny shred of hope and encourages me to just keep stepping outside even when I don't fully feel like it. If there's some chance encounter where I can find a great friend or even a partner, I don't want to squander it being stuck alone in the house if I can help it.
> As an example, I've struggled to get people to fully play one of my favorite platformers of all time, VVVVVV. And then the much vaunted Ocarina of Time bores me to tears and I can't push myself to get through it.

VVVVV appears to be a fairly low budget indie game with graphics that haven't aged very well compared to modern indie games. I'm sure it was fun and it seems it was very well received when it came out.

Ocarina of Time was a AAA game that came out during the first real mainstream transition toward 3D graphics. It effectively kickstarted the RPG and free-roam genres while still presenting a typically polished Zelda experience. It was fun when I played it (when it came out) but it has not aged very well compared to modern games. If you didn't play it when it came out you're probably not going to enjoy it - but at least you can respect its impact on gaming.

Anyway the point is that games don't age well and similar to music, people don't tend to like other people's favorite games unless they're highly aligned in the first place.

Reviews are pretty pointless as well but in general you can tell in the first 2 hours of a game if you're going to like it or not, at which point you can choose to return it or not return it.
> which has basically no meaning

I don't think it has less meaning than the idea that the most sere and hostile environment for our species that we've yet been able to access - the deadliest imaginable desert, accessible only at vast effort and expense - has for our taking the boundless cornucopia of riches that space maximalists constantly promise, and with no more support than you complain I offer.

Meanwhile you blithely argue that some significant fraction of a trillion dollars, available in this happy counterfactual from what had been the war department's budget, should be devoted to this and nothing else, with no thought to the opportunity cost - and demand I justify myself in arguing we should better do otherwise!

That opportunity cost would be measured in human lives, consigned to neglectful death in the service of your cause - but whether by neglect or murder, dead is dead. You'd be far from the first so to act; history is replete with examples, even ignoring the one we live among now. Such people are sometimes called to account. What would you say if you were?
