But what does that mean? Was it a prototype because the production model wasn't ready yet? Was it hand-built as opposed to "mass produced" but presumed and intended to be functionally identical, or was it intentionally different for the purpose of passing the test, knowing that the actual computer would not?
I think the problem is putting those broken commits into the trunk. Ideally you want to clean up your commits so if you need to revert you don’t accidentally break your build and so reading thru history isn’t awful.

Oof. I cannot. My interest in sewing is at the garment to backpacking equipment scale. Everything I know about sewing sail fabrics comes from the crossover to the ultralight backpacking world.

I know I was pretty down on the Sailrite, but if you're doing diy sail sewing, it's probably a pretty good compromise for the job.

Background for non-sewers: all fabric stretches, but for most things on a human scale, you can ignore it when you're sewing. When you get into sail-sized products, you'll end up with puckering if your seams can't stretch with the fabric. A zigzag seam will stretch with the fabric. A straight stitched seam will not.

Further background: AIUI industrial machines are a lot more job and/or fabric-specific than domestic machines. And you also get into needles and bobbins that you can't pick up at Joann.

Your sibling commenter is likely more knowledgeable than I am. I was helping a friend doing some cushions for her boat. The Sailrite was struggling with the Sunbrella-type canvas. For sailcloth (on that size boat?) it probably would've been fine.

Good luck!
Depends on what you mean by "we". China is doing it as we speak.

Also, "it's been done before" is a much better argument than "we think we can make these massive and untested changes to our society because my studies say so" like I see constantly from solar/wind maximalists on demand response, mass v2g, hyper connected grid, underground hydrogen battery etc, etc.
I stopped doing Inbox Zero when I realized email search (O365 and Gmail in my case) is sufficient for my needs. I just don't have the energy to sort all my email, even with AI help. All I do lately is the occasional pass to delete large attachments and newsletters.
Well I don't know what you mean by fifth columners, this is just my own opinion but it's quite widespread because they really sold out people's trust. The thing, though, is that Mozilla is in the perfect spot to get better, any time they want. Which means I'm not personally letting off the hook. Whereas there's no point hoping for any change from Google.
Yeah the recruiter could spend some time preparing and sending communications back to all the candidates who were interviewed and then rejected, or could spend that time working on finding candidates for other positions he's trying to fill. What is he going to be incentivized to do?
Not necessarily. I'm capable of cooking a meal, but I've never worked in a restaurant nor taken any food health and safety courses or anything.

If tomorrow I started selling my cooking while displaying a fake certificate about my food safety qualifications it wouldn't automatically mean that anyone who eats my cooking will be hurt, it just means I took the lazy way (which could cause hurt, if by not knowing some food safety info I fuck up somehow, but it doesn't automatically mean the food I make must be unhealthy).
So self-host it if you find the tool to have value for your needs.

Well one thing that occurred to me is this argument could hold water if the wind turbines somehow drastically differ in the kinds of birds they kill. E.g. if they kill a million of some rare species that’s not killed by anything else that could be different. But I haven’t seen any data on that.

GDScript – Custom scripting language to be used with the Godot game engine
My sense is the general version of this problem is not solved in that chunking/splitting algorithms for processing content into vector dbs need to be made significantly more sophisticated and leverage more traditional NLP algorithms.

For example:

or similar from spaCy or NLTK. and then somehow get to content driven paragraph type splitting.
Agreed - QR recognition/alignment algorithms can clearly be improved further, and then when they are, higher error correction codes ought to be more reliable as designed.

looking at the datasheet [0], it has a lot of specialized ports that I would never need, but I wouldn't be surprised if an ATC tower somewhere needed it for obscure compatibility reasons. 5x BNC for analog input, for example. also multiple serial ports for remote controls of some kind, and SNMP support.

the field-replaceable backlight seems to be a big selling point too.

Apple laptops aren’t bad, most likely they’re the best laptops in terms of quality. Whoever hates them hates the price and the closed system apple has. But the whole point of this video is that desktops are much better value. And I sort of agree, though I own no desktop, out of pure convenience.

As for the Korean war, it's kind of a fuzzy topic. There was no formal peace deal, just an armistice that became the status quo. And there are still occasional clashes. These probably aren't the kind of sources you're looking for but it's a weird topic. To me it's more obvious that we lost Vietnam than Afghanistan yet I've heard so many arguments the US did win Vietnam (usually where "winning" means something different to different people). Either way Afghanistan was at least an embarrassment.

Simply changing the default SSH port cuts it down even more, and I'm not convinced that fail2ban actually adds much security. It may even increase your surface of exposure, if it happens to have a security bug in it.
While divorce may be culturally relevant, I read the phrasing

> What if that treatment occurred while the spouse was on a six month military deployment?

as indicating that the STD treatment would be kept from the spouse. While each individual has a right to privacy, cheating on an away spouse, getting an STD and treatment, and then keeping it secret from the spouse is pretty shitty, and is especially bad under the guise of "right to privacy". "I'm not going to tell my spouse I had an STD, they have no right to know" is not what medical information privacy is about.

We can talk about the value of someone's medical information not being public without evoking a spousal relationship as some kind of reason for privacy.

And when we're talking about keeping medical information private, we're trying to avoid harm to the person the information is about. Someone who is cheating and/or getting STDs without telling their spouse is harming the spouse.

Really wish we had options for 16:10 and 4:3 monitors in 4k-8k resolutions in 2024. Personally, I think the ultimate monitor is somewhere around 36” wide with a ~1.6x “golden ratio” (aka 16:10) so around 22-24” tall (for reference, a 42” 16:9 TV is about 36.6Wx20.6H; 16x10 would be 35.6Wx22.3H; 4:3 would be 33.6Wx25.2H). Right now I’ve got a 55” LG G1 OLED and it’s nice at 4K120hz, but ideally it’d be 8K120hz and a little smaller in width. It seems like it wouldn’t be too terribly hard to make such a panel using an 8K 55” screen as a starting point, then just omit a few inches of width. Ooh, and please make it a 10-bit (or 12 but there I’m really dreaming) 4:4:4 120hz native panel.

Upon returning to the office for a few days a couple of months back, I noticed that my desk had been moved and I was given a standard setup with a 21:9 curved ultra wide 60hz Samsung. I HATE it. I have no idea what kind of person thinks these are superior. It can’t open two A4-size PDFs next to each other, and with macOS menu bar and dock (even auto-hide), toolbars in IDEs, terminals, and browsers took up far too much of the screen. Add to that the tendency of most websites these days to add their own pointless toolbars and cookie warnings and subscribe junk and again I just don’t see who would enjoy this for any type of work or gaming. I’ve tried dual portrait, I’ve tried quad, I’ve tried triple-wide with 1920x1200 16:10s as my “curved” setup way back in the late 2000s, and I still think that one single large high-res high-quality FLAT monitor is the way to go, hence my current LG setup. Everything else feels like it’s missing a piece. Multiple monitors just means bezels in your view and even though support is tons better now than it was a dozen years ago, toolbars and OS trays / docks still need some helper software to work really well across multiple monitors, especially where n>2.
Well, here is your answer why so few people use gentoo.

I can count at least 6 linux computers in my household (this includes stuff like work laptop(s), fileserver, my family member's PCs, and that raspberry pi which only acts as a camera server for my 3D printer). And the life is just easier if all of them run the same, or at least very similar, systems.

The Threadripper PRO branding was only introduced 3.5 years ago. The first two generations didn't have any split between workstation parts and enthusiast consumer parts. You must have a first-generation Threadripper, which means it's somewhere between 8 and 16 CPU cores.

If you would not significantly benefit from upgrading, it's only because you already have more CPU performance than you need. Today's CPUs are significantly better than first-generation Zen in performance per clock and raw clock speed, and mainstream consumer desktop platforms can now match the top first-generation Threadripper in CPU core count and total DRAM bandwidth (and soon, DRAM capacity). There's no performance or power metric by which a Threadripper 1950X (not quite 6.5 years old) beats a Ryzen 7950X. And the 7950X also comes in a mobile package that only sacrifices a bit of performance (to fit into fairly chunky "laptops").

Yes, I've just seen lots of people in the comments not seeing the value in the machines Apple create, which slightly annoys me. Because they are very fine computers.

And as most people with laptops, we own them due to convenience ;) -- that's why I believe they are usually better consumer grade computers than desktops.

I never said monopoly control. The entire point was that enforced monopoly control is not required. That is thinking way too simplistic. Companies get people to pay for things that they don't have to _all the time_, by all kinds of different means. They only also use government granted monopoly because why not if it's available.

It's not a case of can they be. It's a case of can they cheaply be.

The camera app on your smartphone likely searches for them by default. That means feeding at least 1-2 frames a second through it.

Basic pattern matching for the position markers is a rounding error overhead vs processing a video feed. Fancy computer vision is not - on lower end devices you may not have enough resources to do both and on higher end devices it'll still impact power usage.
Chromatags probably have their uses, but when put in practice like qr codes are, they don't have most of the "features". Monochrome means you can use cheap/shitty printers, you can theme them to go well with your brand, etc.
If you look at any sort of political activism, there tends to be a tendency for the promulgation of dogma. Now not every activist does this and you will find that these kinds of people tend to be willing to discuss and defend their positions in reasonable and logical manner. But many activists don't seem to be able to discuss and defend, they want to shout down and heckle.

As for many teachers who are focused on political activism, when challenged by their own students, they seem to just get very upset at their students or the students' parents if taken to task over the particular activism taken.

Now, if you haven't seen this then you have been very fortunate.
Doing this with text files used to be a big part of my job. I had to write Java (well, mainly Java... ) (cf. the ingredients of scumble on Discworld) programs to parse the files school districts had that described bus stops, from depot to school in the AM and from school to depot in the PM among other arrangements, and, often, the best you could say about some files is that someone had likely worked fairly hard to make them look like they were software-generated. They had just enough structure that parsing them with a program was the correct option, but they had enough irregularities that the program was never going to be pretty, because there's no pretty way to parse an ugly file.

It's a wonderful example of inductive reasoning, or generating general rules from a collection of specific examples.

Things like only diesel vehicles (at the time, curious if electric cars are allowed now) because regular combustion engines have spark plugs.

I also remember watching a program (NOVA?) where they were interviewing one of the people who as charged with identifying sources. Often they were faulty transformers on electric poles (which got fixed). One time it was a woman's elderly dog that had a heating pad that was noisy (that one he went out and got new heating pad and that cleared it up).

Preemptive multitasking is an effect handler implemented by the operating system. There are very few instances where you have to worry about process switching by the OS, basically only when you have a handle to a resource outside of your process.

A similar constraint will apply to algebraic effects, which is why they're algebraic: only if your code directly depends on some effect will you have to care about effects.

This is false for the US (and UK as the other commenter pointed out).

> In the USA, utilities are collecting 0.1 to 0.2 cents/kWh to fund decommissioning. They must then report regularly to the NRC on the status of their decommissioning funds. About two-thirds of the total estimated cost of decommissioning all US nuclear power reactors has already been collected, leaving a liability of about $9 billion to be covered over the remaining operating lives of about 100 reactors (on the basis of an average of $320 million per unit). NRC data for the end of 2018 indicated that there was a combined total of $64.7 billion held in the decommissioning trust funds covering the 119 operational and retired US nuclear power reactors.

Great article. I've worked with Parquet files on S3 for years, but I didn't quite understand what Iceberg was, but the article explained it well. It's a database metadata format for an underlying set of data which describes its schema, partitioning etc.

Most people use Hive partitioning convention (i.e. directory names like /key3=000/key2=002/) but Iceberg goes farther than this by exposing even more structure to the query engine.

In a traditional DBMS like Postgres, the schema, the query engine and the storage format come as a single package.

But with big data, we're building database components from scratch, and we can mix and match. We can use Iceberg as a metadata format, DuckDB as the query engine, Parquet as the storage format, and S3 as the storage medium.
I don't quite understand, let's say I have a bunch of effects in my code, all depending on one another. Will that make a mess? If so, how does one avoid that, or is that an inherent issue in algebraic effects systems?
On what basis do you assume it's bullshit? This is a very emotional/irrational reaction to a study.

According to the article, a Roman soldier could buy about 15 (modern) pounds of salt with a single day's wages.

Comparisons are very hard, but to put that in a bit of perspective: at an average salary of $60k/yr, a typical American today makes $165/day. So the cost in time for a Roman to buy salt would be roughly equivalent to if the price for salt today were $11/lb.

That's more expensive than it is today (I just bought salt for ~$2.50/lb), but it's a far cry from extremely valuable.
