In some households, rice cookers are somewhat of a religious / commitment based relationship. The one that has always provided the cooked rice will continued to be trusted to provide the cooked rice. And it shall not be tossed aside when a more complex or shinier model is available. Almost like a favorite cup or bowl.

A colleague described to me after his time living in Japan encountering wonderful single-box puddings that could be prepared in a rice cooker. Unfortunately the rice cooker in a Japanese household is for cooking rice. Not for cooking puddings. The product probably failed.

At most places you dont have to wait long - provided you dont come at the peak hour when everyone else shows up. Plan smart and you wait almost not all all, and there is plenty of parties starting/going at all times of the day; so you dont have to wait until late as well...
I think they use it in the same sense that the word “dogpiling” can be used:

> gerund or present participle: dogpiling

> (of a number of people) jump on top of another person or one another so as to form a disorderly heap.
"the players poured out of the dugout to dogpile on Wright at second base"
> This might mean you can't use TheTradeDesk and Google Adsense en-masse for example. Basically, as of today, a lot of price discovery is now automated by a majority of companies using a handful of vendors for this.

IANAL but this seems incorrect. Price discovery is one thing, being contractually obligated to keep prices at a certain level 80% of the time is another. A court can make a ruling about that 80% number in the contract without saying anything that impacts one's ability to discover the prices competitors charge
The problem is the word "just".

Saying they just predict the next word in a sequence is where the statement jumps from being a straightforward factual scientific claim, to one that contains an opinion. After all, if it just predicts the next word, the unspoken implication is it can't be very that good.

It's a shallow dismissal of a collosal amount of work.

Do you consider "typist" an accurate description of your job?
Very interesting, I wonder how they are doing it. The FAQ mentions that the CPU cores are shared.

My guesses:

- They are doing something like Netflix's internal spot market https://netflixtechblog.com/creating-your-own-ec2-spot-marke....

- Or, they reserve a bunch of super large burstable instances at a discount, then run many jobs on there each in a firecracker vm, then do some sort of quota/reservation per job to allow it to use some of the burstable credits when it needs to.
The article demonstrated over and over that in some instances branch managers really did know their customers, and that knowledge was ignored by an algorithm run amuck. Monitoring transactions should not be sufficient to satisfy KYC.

Perhaps this article demonstrates that the largest banks are unable to know their customers and truly act on that information. And, perhaps having those banks engage in self-destructive mass cancelations serves regulators' purposes just fine.

Consulting firms freeze starting salaries in bid to shore up profit
> You are fully aware that the launch cost of the JWST is an insignificant part of the mission budget.

The reason for that is the folding contraption.
And the sunscreen.
And the very delicate instruments.
And the requirement to be extremely lightweight.

All those things combined is what led to the decades long development timeline, and the incredible cost.
If you instead have 150 metric ton of payload capacity to orbit, you don't care that you could shave 100 grams of one component. Not even several metric tons of extra weight would be an issue, when you have so much spare capacity you could just add an extra 10-20 metric ton of fuel to compensate.

Starship allows a paradigm shift in spacecraft design where weight is no longer your most important target. Nor your second or even third.
Instead you can use off the shelf components that might be twice the weight, but 1/10th the cost.

If JWST was designed today with Starship just around the corner, the final cost would have been a lot lower.
Yes, the cost would probably still have been much higher than the launch cost, but it would probably have been a lot closer $1-2 billion than the $10 billion it costed in the end.

I've written JSON parsers because in one instance we had to allow users to keep their formatting but also edit documents programmatically. At the time I couldn't find parsers that did that, but it was a while back.

In another instance, it was easier to parse into some application-specific structures, skipping the whole intermediate generic step (for performance reasons).

With JSON it's easier to convince your boss that you can actually write such a parser because the language is relatively simple (if you overlook botched definitions of basically every element...) So, for example, if the application that uses JSON is completely under your control, you may take advantage of stupid decisions made by JSON authors to simplify many things. More concretely, you can decide that there will never be more than X digits in numbers. That you will never use "null". Or that you will always put elements of the same type into "lists". Or that you will never repeat keys in "hash tables".

I feel like I misunderstood something here. I presume the police/firefighters were needed to live near the community because they might need to respond in an emergency. Or possibly for community relations for the police (I know some jurisdictions require you to live in the community you police, at least in the states). If I'm wrong in this assumption, please correct me and supply some more context.

Protip to anybody who wants to spend an extended amount of time overseas - you’re looking at a strong opportunity to join the list of people who have their accounts closed. Red flags include quantity of overseas debit card transactions, setting a PO Box (this one apparently is a very big red flag to banks) or a PMB as your bank address, lots of wire transfers.

Open multiple bank accounts at different banks, use services like wise.com for transfers, and limit your overseas spending with American cards to only a credit card issued with a bank that isn’t the same as your primary accounts.

Yay, patriot act. Glad we have so much energy focusing on legit bankers instead of the crypto that is actually funding multiple US adversaries at this very moment
There is a ton of professionally produced content on YouTube. Mr. Beast for example spends between $1 and $1.5 million to produce each video. By comparison your average TV documentary costs only $500k for an hour of content.

NileRed, a popular chemistry focused channel, quoted one of their videos as taking 4 months of production time for their multi-person staff.

I think you might not like the artistic style of YouTube, but in terms of production value I'd wager more is being spent on YouTube than broadcast TV at this point (remember that the vast majority of channels make no money but people sink money into them anyway).

This case isn’t going to be decided on “is using the same algorithm collusion”. It’s going to be the fact that you are contractually bound to use RealPage’s rent number or face expulsion. There is a bunch of law dating back more than 100 years about exactly that type of trust.

There are two cases in Polish where inaccurate translations in Windows have changed the Polish language.

Font has been translated as "czcionka", which in Polish originally meant sort (a metal block for a single letter).

Cancel has been translated as "anuluj" (to revoke, abolish).

This happened at the time when computers have exploded in popularity in Poland, and the terms have been assimilated along with all other computer jargon. Later attempts to correct the translations ("krój pisma", "poniechaj") have failed due to sounding like a pedantic deviation from an already established terminology. So Polish message boxes have [OK] and [Abolish] buttons.

We did the same thing but the ISP just kept the money instead of actually laying fiber.

In any case Oregon is about 3 million people in the portland metro and a million people spread over 90,000 sq miles or 10 per sq mile or about 4 per sq km

Portland is already working on municipal fiber as it should but keep in mind that US government projects a bit like the Russian military a lot of money gets soaked up between budget and result.

A more competitive market is something we might if we do well achieve in the next few decades. Net Neutrality helps now and will actually still be virtuous if we can move forward in other respects.
I haven't read the ToS, but it may not specifically require competing to be a violation.

It stems from the manicured and ornate lawns of European nobility. It became a status symbol to have land that could be used for no practical purpose but aesthetics. In the 50s and 60s effort to industrialize, suburbanize, and add chemicals to everything, cookie cutter neighborhoods could be pumped out with simple no-thought-to-design lawns. They looked clean and required tons of upkeep and fuel and chemicals, and spending to one up the Joneses was a big thing in a newly rich society. In many ways it was the same as the nobility - your neighbor (or someone in a less affluent area more likely) who works two jobs doesn’t have time to maintain a lawn for no reason, so you could feel good about yourself for having a clean, useless front yard sign telling everyone how you’ve made it!

Yes, they sent me a cashier check for a small balance (around $1000) I left, as Chase gave me 45 days heads up for closure. However, for some people, Chase dragged out until after CFPB complaints are filed.

The case one should worry about these banks is this: you deposit a $500K check, or you got a wire for $500K; check was cleared on the sender's side. Now Chase/Big Bank holds your funds, saying that this check is fraudulent, and that bank closes your account after finding you risky (risky because of this $500k and by looking back at your account history). Now $500K is in Chase's hands, your account is closed by Chase, and Chase doesn't want to give $500K, nor does Chase want to return $500K to the original bank/sender. This is where you should file a complaint with CFPB right away. Without CFPB complaints, the fraud department at Chase, its Bank employees just give you run around for months. File CFPB complaint right away, if any bank holds your funds after 10 business days; don't listen to these employees at all.

CFPB can't force banks to reopen your accounts. Just to get your funds, file a complaint with CFPB right away, and don't trust any bank employee on getting your funds.
Simple answer, It's not.

Approaching a horrible situation with calm acceptance and resignation is pathological insanity.

Don't let anyone tell you different. Especially not someone whose mind has been impaired by drugs.

Drugs alter your subjective experience, how can you then understand whether your experience is true, and you are not simply operating with a defective brain.

In these cases it is the latter. If it was natural to feel a certain way, and that feeling was advantageous to the survival of our species, then your brain would already be that way. Tamper with it at your own peril.

For my part, I will wish to maintain my knowledge of reality and make my last minutes count without any false sense of acceptance of the utter evil that is death.

That's not an attack, unless you designed .NET, in which case I'm of course referring to your recruiters and not you.

Anyway, it's the part about how C# doesn't need to implement scalar replacement because it has structs. Do it anyway, it's good!

But I've also noticed (reading some .NET developer blog post I couldn't find for you now) them talking about how they couldn't do inlining because it would take too long and be too slow, so they put some very simple heuristics that did not look like a good trade off. Inlining of course is often very beneficial and can decrease code size.
The crux is that they don’t let you rack up that debt in the first place if you’re cash only. ;)
