Maybe that's it, because I don't really use SQL much. Reaching for pandas about the same rate. Maybe that's the difference? But I come from a physics background and I don't know many physicists and mathematicians that are well versed in SQL. But I do know plenty that use pandas and python. So there's definitely a lot of people like me. Also I could be dumb. Totally willing to accept that lol.
Ask a human the same question and force them to answer (instead of saying I don't know), and they will hallucinate a list of references for you just the same. Does that mean humans are not intelligent?

I don't think your argument proves what you claim.
You say all of this, but where in the US can I go get a PCB made, a housing injection molded, rubber seals custom cut, and have a contract manufacturer assemble everything for a modest price?

If you order a small batch of custom PCBs with a five day turnaround from a fab house in the USA it costs over $500. If you order it from China they cost $15.

And it's not just due to cheaper labor. They have better higher volume equipment.

Edit: I’d love to find a non-state source but China claims $5T per year in manufacturing output for 2021. I wonder where the US would be if we had focused on manufacturing growth instead of offshoring production.

I recall a running joke from my childhood - from a former communist East European counry - about a certain car saying you should finish the assembly at home after purchase, tightening the screws before first use. Despite being a famously poor quality car - even in the sloppy East European practices - that supposed to be a joke not to follow suit!
Has Apple ever made a water-cooled computer? I agree this could be done with heat sinks, but was just pointing out that the current MBA design isn't on the cusp of waterproof.
Things I don't like from this demo:

Setup screen:

* Flat box instead of real dialog in the installer

* No box around the close button

* No accents on the next button

* Next button provides no feedback to mouse-over or mouse-click

* List items (the C: partition) has no borders before it's moused-over, it's basically a point-and-click adventure entity where you have to mouse-over everything to see what can be interacted with

Boot screen:

* Flat logo is ugly, should have some accents, original XP logo much better

* busy-bar is weird, it's segmented but the segments do not animate, rather the entire 3 segments slide around.. again, original is much better.

Finishing installation:

* Different type of "window" or container now, still rounded border, missing accents. Inconsistent.

* Items in list again not indicative of being clickable.

* Text-inputs give no feedback on mouse-over or of being selected

* Next button still not giving any feedback

Third installation screen: Stop already. It was annoying in XP too.

Booted:
* UI looks like a bad Macromedia flash parody version of XP.

* And that settings stuff? Oh god why! Bring back the control panel and the dialogues of XP, those were again MUCH nicer.

Okay, this is worse than the orignal in every single way..

Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity. - Hanlon's razor, but still, it's really hard to believe someone would honestly see these as improvements. Hope for humanity: lost.

What would actually be nice is Windows XP UI, exactly how it was before SP1, but without the bugs and crashes (I _KNOW_ that can be done without messing with the UI) with the ability to run current software on current hardware, with nothing at all changed in the UI.

Just as another data point, a CPU-only setup with Q5_K_M would give you roughly 4 tokens per second on a Ryzen laptop (Dell Inspiron 7415 upgraded to 64 GB of RAM).

Like with many such projects, it's very helpful if you use DataFrames in isolation, but it lacks support from the wider scientific ecosystem. I've found that using polar will often break other common data scientific packages such as scikit-learn. This unfortunately often makes it impractical in the wild.
The trick is, figuring out the names of the packages you want. :-\ Experiment, and take notes, I guess.

I had a fun experience playing with `grml-debootstrap', GRML¹ being a command-line-oriented LiveCD built upon Debian. Once you’ve booted up, that app installs a minimal Debian instance on your computer. I haven't tried using the stock Debian `debootstrap' utility.

A water sensor tripping is no proof of misuse independent of the devices IP-rating.
Most users do not use Kafka/Zookeeper.
The only external service for them is a S3 bucket. They then use the PushAPI.
It is perfectly fine if you have only a couple of TB a day.

For the crazy large use cases, like the one described in the blog post,
Kafka becomes necessary. At that scale, our users usually already have their data in Kafka or RedPanda and are actually happy to be able to get native integration:
- their data does not need to be copied/replicated in a WAL "again"
- we get exactly-once semantics

Also, in 0.8, we will be adding proper support for distributed ingest.
The feature is actually already implemented and was originally scheduled for 0.7.
but we preferred to test it more before actually shipping it.

This is one key aspect, but it's more relevant in cities with high walkability - which you don't have at all in the BA.

Would you call the chart strong evidence one way or another? I don't think I would.

Given higher casualty rates inside Gaza are predominantly Palestinian it is arguable textual references should approximate to the ratio of mortality in each community under time. So, the "bias" might be "both sides means 50/50" when actually mortality stats are weighted to gazans.

Is that it?
Of course. I may be paraphrasing a bit because I did not get the ad today. A recent app that has been spamming ads over my Instagram translates:

I don't get it

as:

When the correct translation in the context of the sentence is:

No lo entiendo

All the other sentences in the fragment are correct, from what I noticed at a glance.
Always happy to see new stuff on the block, but hard to leave pandas and python ecosystem for this

Not sure where this fits in to any workflow tbh, with sufficiently large datasets, you will inevitably need spark (which has same API as pandas)
Quickwit supports different data sources: Kafka, Pulsar, Google pubsub, ... and we have our own ingest API (not HA right now, but it will be the case in the next release in 1 month or so).

Postgresql is not mandatory; it's also possible to use Quickwit with a metastore on S3. For large use cases, Postgresql is the way to go. I've seen users using Quickwit with metastore on S3, RDS, and Aurora.

On the UI side, we have several users who have their own UI. Jaeger is used just for the UI part so it's quite simple to have it in HA, I don't thing it's hard to have HA for Grafana but I'm not sure on this point.

Which docker compose did you look at?
Web crawl can be an ok use case actually.

This is the way to go on platforms that favour shipping binaries instead of source code.

Yes, I think this is true. I've worked in both fields. But we should be really happy about the fact that we did not end up in the same place with ML.
The "Shanzai" culture of sharing in Shenzhen
For a simple 8-bit system such as this, even if “no GALs” is a requirement, all the chips one would need can still be bought today, brand new, and are still in production in one form or another (e.g Alliance SRAM, SST flash, 74HCT logic etc).

Worth noting that 16V8 and 22V10 GALs are still being made too, and I’d argue that programmers for them aren’t exactly “outdated”.

Not that I have anything against this design, I’m always happy to see a new SBC, though it could be argued that it still “hides” more of the bus inside the MCU than would perhaps be ideal.
Yep! No effort required.

My first experience with this was with a girl in my teenage years, and we were doing some hand game that I forget now, and she's like "don't worry, tomorrow you'll know how to do it" (????)

Immigration in the US boosts birth rates to an essentially ideal level. Without immigration we would be dealing with significant population bust issues.

https://theconversation.com/the-dip-in-the-us-birthrate-isnt...

It’s also my understanding that the people asking for more lenient immigration policies are essentially asking for more humane treatment of migrants (refrain from breaking up families, for example) and more effective processing, not typically advocating for an open border or an increase in overall immigration.

Remember that the meaning of “sanctuary city” is the refusal to cooperate with federal enforcement agencies like ICE that have a documented history of abusive practices. “Sanctuary city” was never intended to be an open invitation for immigration. Instead it’s intended to encourage the immigrants who are already here to do beneficial things like report crimes and enroll kids in school rather than existing off the books in an underground seedy under the table situation.

Thanks. If it's Google (and I suspect it is), what are they calling this employee development program and where can people apply?
I recall a bug I was involved with at a telecoms equipment market in the early 2000s. The bug only showed up in our biggest base stations in high load situations. We diagnosed the bug, and there were a couple of parts to it. Sloppy software design in an optional hardware module (no state machine) was one part - and was fixed. But there was another underlying issue in the way message queues were handled.

Anyhow, the fix for this was created and written. But we never got to put it into production. The reason: the company didn't have a lab test facility that could put a sufficient load on the software to prove it. Even though we were getting field failures because of this issue that were getting a bad rep, we couldn't fix it because even though the old code was known to be buggy, we couldn't prove the new code. So the process said we couldn't ship it.
Any Zoom or Slack communication is recorded and available...so is this not the state we're in today?

This is not just the state of things in most companies, but it is a legal requirement in companies subject to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

fwiw I don't particularly like either state of affairs, but pragmatically some business interns somewhere at JP Morgan has all of their communication recorded and preserved for regulatory oversight, the fact that pilots don't is a testament to their union, and not because it wouldn't be considered normal in today's working world.
> it's easily the highest it's ever been - almost 40% higher than 10 years previous

This overview includes little data from mainland China probably because that data is not readily available. However it looks like, from orders at western equipment firms, that the Chinese fab expansion may be the largest of any country.

So strangely enough. The Chinese are set to achieve their goal of being 70% self-sufficient in semiconductors by 2025 as a consequence of over-investment in lower-end manufacturing and US bans on high-end imports.
Hey there, I'm Subramanya. Back in the day, my friend Yash and I had a real itch for a good game of badminton or basketball, but finding folks who matched our vibe and skill level was like looking for a needle in a haystack. It was a drag, you know? That initial laziness to start playing turned into frustration pretty quick. We’d spend more time hunting for games and players than actually playing. And don't get me started on the wild goose chase for a decent court! It was like the universe was telling us to just give up and go back to our couches.

But, you know what? We didn’t. We looked at each other and thought, What if there was a way to zap all that hassle? To connect players like us to the right game, right people, right place — just like that. That’s how our idea "NockOut" came to life.

So, we decided to go on a mission to build a platform that combines tech and passion for sports to cut through the clutter. Our aim? To get you playing more and planning less. Whether you’re trying to find your badminton groove back or you’re just looking for a friendly game of basketball, we’re here to smooth out the process.

But we didn’t stop there. We saw the headaches venues and sporting facilities went through too — managing spaces, juggling bookings, trying to figure out what players need. So, we're weaving technology into the mix, making it easy for venues to keep their booking sheets full and their players happy, all while giving them the kind of data insights that make a difference.

At the end of the day, we’re here to untangle the mess, making life easier for players and venues. With straightforward tech, genuine care, and an unwavering love for sports, we're turning the hassle into harmony.

Subramanya & Yash

The only follow-up I would have would be if that dev with 10-20 years of experience applying for SDE2 did tell you in an interview that they didn't want to move "up or out" and their goal was to be a productive dev for as long as possible instead of applying internally for management roles, would you accept that answer?

Ahhh ... that's likely a Stilbruch (break of style) my design professor would have exclaimed. Designers hate those and I came to understand why and try to avoid it wherever possible. It is something that can be irritating and bringing in confusion, if suddenly there is a element out of place.

But you can have "highly-recognizable simple fundamental widget types" without breaking the style. It is just harder and of course, a functional ugly design is in my opinion still way better than a good looking broken design. But the goal should be something consistent - in terms of functionality and style.
Yes, the chart looks roughly balanced. And yes, I think it stop making sense when you consider that there have been only a few sparse Israeli deaths after October 7, while the number of Palestinian deaths reached 10, 20 times those of October 7.

The vocabulary seems also skewed, with a different ratio of dead/ killed, more family terms for Israeli deaths (mother/ daughter/ husband/ son), and the most violent terms (murdered, massacred) only reserved for those.
