periodic table of finite simple groups is pretty awesome https://www.reddit.com/r/math/comments/99brzy/the_periodic_t...

they're groups so symmetries are kinda what they do. There are families etc. in columns, with the final column being the generator. Then the sporadic groups are the rare earth elements which don't define a family of groups. order is increasing on the way down, and the very obvious cyclic groups are the noble gases equivalent.
maybe it saw them used in their intended way (for flags, etc) and was able to make the association between the flags and their country codes, and then that led to it being able to interpret them as individual letters?

could also be from having been trained on unicode character tables, which contain english descriptions of each code point

Yeah, there was an amusement there. I've definitely had to understand BGP to configure cloud VPC setups.

"They just have to be an AWS expert".

Right. They just have to be experts in: EC2, S3, Aurora, DynamoDB, RDS, Lambda, VPC, LightSail, Athena, EMR, RedShift, MQ, SQS, SNS, ECR, ECS, EKS, ElastiCache, CloudWatch, CloudTrail, IAM, Cognito, and a few more. No big deal.

Yes, Japan is actually not terrible for vegetarians/vegans, especially these days where even Mos Burger has good plant-based options. But you need good language skills and local knowledge. Even most Japanese locals won't know how to help.

For onigiri, there are vegan varieties even at combini like kombu, daikon, or ume-shiso. They don't have a lot of protein though. At a dedicated onigiri place you can often find natto, bean, tofu, or egg onigiri, as well as inari.

A lot of vegan restaurants are just marked as "Japanese restaurant" on Google maps. Many of them don't market or present themselves as vegan. There are especially a lot in Kyoto, which has traditional specialties like yuba and shojin-ryori.

If for any reason you want protein bars, Japan has a decent amount of them in drugstores (although I think North America's are better).
Ok, so Fuchsia is not the Linux killer we were worried about.
>Always has been since humanity's ~200k year history. The unpriviledged masses having free time for leisure and entertainment between work and sleep that isn't a Sunday, is a relatively new development of about ~100 years or less

Incorrect. If anything, the period during and immediately preceding the Industrial Revolution (before those hard-won labor victories) is the outlier. The common thread in the traditional societies that still exist is a great deal of leisure time or light physical labor, even for farmers. Through the Middle Ages and up to the the advent of chattel slavery and industrialization in the Americas and Europe, labor schedules were quite mild and left plenty of time for leisure, socializing, labor outside of primary production duties (chores, cooking, etc., through which creative faculties could be exercises); much of the literature describing back-breaking labor, written by the privileged classes, was actually a form of propaganda or wish-fulfillment fiction.

I'd suggest reading The Overworked American by Juliet Schor. It provides an overview of historical modes of labor in the West.

The point of the periodic table is that it supplies important structural information about each object in the set.

Using the shape of the periodic table rather than its philosophy when the stated intent is to teach about appropriate data representation is an immediate wtf for me.

RFI on a speaker wire going back to the amplifier is a big problem. As evidenced by all those sources.

Buying more expensive cables isn't generally the cure and is snake oil. Indeed, shielding itself can add enough capacitive loading to actually reduce speaker high frequency response.

But having to put in an RF choke on speaker wire to prevent RFI from having negative audible effects is common. And using a little bit of care to keep as much of the cables paired as possible, keeping runs as short as reasonably possible, and making reasonably good terminations is good insurance against it being a problem for you.

I've given plenty of high quality evidence, while you've given a long video of someone making a measurement that is meaningless to what I'm asserting.
Yet, millions of tons of corn sugar is, in fact, made via industrial enzymatic process into "high-fructose corn sugar", mainly because it is sweeter when cold than straight glucose, and doesn't absorb water from air as readily. Cane sugar in beverages has typically already separated into glucose and fructose, no sucrase needed.

Fructose is a problem because it is processed as a toxin, in the liver. Fructose was invented by flowering plants in the early Cretaceous because, erg for erg, it tasted sweeter to insects. Our evolutionary ancestors never had need to evolve means to process much of it. The liver makes it into fat, wraps it in cholesterol, and ships it off to the fat cells to store, emitting lots of uric acid as waste. Too much uric acid causes lots of problems.

If production of cholesterol is inadequate, worse things happen.

Fructose is a minor problem if consumed along with enough fiber, because enough fiber delays absorption long enough for your intestinal bacteria to get a crack at it first. (They can eat fructose all day long.) But modern industrial "food" processing is all about eliminating fiber, and delivering the straight-up stuff. The only actual fruit without enough fiber is, oddly, grapes.

Well kinda. There’s wisdom in crowds (sometimes). If it doesn’t just naturally gain adoption then that has to count as a negative. Maybe the positives outweigh the negatives, but I think that’s arguable.

I think that's it.
I think it might slowly going to be the new normal even post ZIRP. I say this because lots of the companies that employed software engineers were internet related businesses or their dependent and descendent businesses (think various SaaS tools) and now that market has its winners and takers almost established, there's also the market saturation.

Nobody is building new Facebook, Google and such and even if someone is, they're less likely to gain those scales.

Revocation of ZIRP has trimmed the industry of any excess and inefficiencies, mostly.

Freelancer from Germany here.
While I don’t know much about the markets outside of the EU I hope I might still have some helpful advice.
First things first: make sure to have enough saved cash to endure at least 6 months without income.
When money comes in, do keep these savings or refill them.

German projects usually are scheduled for 6 up to 12 months, and are mostly handed over by consultancy and personell agencies. So my direct clients are those agencies - whom I send my invoices to.
Normally I become part of the developer team, like an employee but expectations are higher.
Freelancers are not only seen as developers with short ramp up time, but experts who bring new knowledge into the companies.
Often you’re expected to fulfill a certain goal, like introducing a new framework into their legacy codebase or implement a service or infrastructure.
Also interim positions are given, like being the teams senior when the former one quit, until a new permanent can be found.

In the longer run you should specialize yourself. I don’t mean frameworks with that, but fields of industry.
A jack-of-trades will receive fewer offers from my experience than a high value specialist (Cobol someone…?)

You need to develop a business mindset. A freelancer is a business, so all the same rules apply that apply to startups and larger cooperations.

Do not go cheap.
When you start selling low, people expect low quality and then negotiations for discounts start and sooner or later you work extremely much for a terrible income.
Check statistics about software business hourly rates in your area and place yourself around a sensible median.

Know yourself or get to know yourself better. What is your optimal work time?
Do you like being in the office with the other members or are you comfortable at home?

Do not overwork yourself. A burn out can easily become an existential threat.

Learn to say no.
Do not sign a project that doesn’t pay enough or bores you.
Check your clients financial data beforehand when available.

Last but not least, try to keep in contact with the managers and coworkers you liked.
Black sticky rice is a favorite dessert of mine. I always have to resist it when I see it on a menu at a Thai restaurant.
Nix seems like something I should absolutely be using, but it also makes me feel like a complete idiot. The documentation, the terminology, and even tutorials like this one feel so… arbitrary?! and leave me more confused than I started. Look at that flake file. It’s daunting! Maybe I’m just getting old.
There is a long-running rivalry between the east and west of Japan. Kansai (west) includes cities like Kyoto and Osaka, and Kantou (east) includes Tokyo and Yokohama. For reasons the author doesn’t understand well, the people of Kansai and Kantou pride themselves on these differences.

The shape of the country historically made for roughly bipolar military confrontations, involving shifting alliances between the many warlords. Centuries ago, Kyoto was the Imperial Capital and Osaka the economic capital. West of Japan are Korea and China, and the commercial and cultural trade made the region wealthy and powerful. Near the end of the 16th century, a warlord named Nobunaga managed to unify most of Japan, but was betrayed by an associate. An intense struggle for control ensued, culminating in a battle at Segihara in 1600, which is more or less the middle of the country. The winner, a general named Tokugawa Ieyasu, became a Shogun (military governor, nominally in service of the Emperor but pragmatically in charge) and was based in Edo, now named Tokyo. His defeated rival was based in, you guessed it, Osaka.

Edo was just a small fishing village with a broken-down castle until Ieyasu showed up around 1590, rebuilt the castle, and made the area into his base. After winning the battle of Segihara he was mostly generous in victory, but required other warlords to maintain households in Edo (making them de facto hostages) and contribute money and labor to build out the infrastructure there; within 5 years Edo was a large city of ~150k. Tokugawa also closed the country and banned foreign trade, not least to prevent his rivals from raising armies and capital overseas. His family continued to rule Japan until the Shogunate was abolished and the country opened up the outside world in the 19th century. Edo was renamed Tokyo and made the official capital, although the Imperial family continued to reside in Kyoto until Emperor Taisho moved to Tokyo in the early 20th century.
From a less misanthropic perspective, we avoided the immediate outcome of a direct monopoly and have an undeniably more robust telecommunications infrastructure because of it. If we get an AT&T-style placation out of Apple, I'd consider ourselves lucky.
I fear the horse has very much bolted, carrying the door. Local models, state actors, foreign hyperscalars, very motivated private money. Given the “benefits” due to the winners, I expect a shitshow. This is with a voting community who does their own research and thought Q was a rational source of policy.

Honestly, I wish they'd stop "trying to be good" and just "get on with it". "Investors" wont buy this "we're so good" line for long.
Yes, antagonizing high-profile voice actors seems like a good way to avoid establishing a bad precedent in court. Judges love seeing intentional, spiteful harassment from a for-profit corporation
> it can download all your private information

> Pop a warning every single time it accesses contacts or location, don't allow third party apps outside the App Store to be granted ongoing permissions to anything, etc.

You bring up an excellent point, but that's a technological issue that should be solved with technological barriers.

An app shouldn't be able to download any private data without explicit user permission, but these restrictions should apply to every app, regardless of where it comes from. To be more specific, users should have complete control over every permission and have an easy way to audit their usage.

Sane security models don't rely on some app reviewer magically catching malicious behavior in an opaque review process where they don't even have access to the source code, much less the ability to review it in detail.
Manifesto came out in 2001, you need to take into account the context of that time - the processes were often much more heavy-handed (esp. in big companies) than they are now. This manifesto item was never about not creating any processes.

I see what you mean by the Nvidia outsourcing, its a typical company strategy that i dont think is the root problem. Plus people overseas dont HAVE to accept but obviously they do as for them its a better opportunity financially.

But i took the quote "state where no actual productive work is done and instead companies become financial manipulation instruments" to mean that companies now only care about the immediate financial turnaround as opposed to building quality products (normally done out of fear of healthy competition). So because most companies are considilating/merging, the healthy competition goes away and monopolies continue to grow leaving people with fews alternatives.

Personally i dont think its so much about stocks/offshoring talent/new world order as much as it is these huge companies and billionaires saying "yes this product or service is shtty, yes it costs more than before, yes the quality will continue to go down, and yes the price will continue to go up, BUT, no gun to your head, you're free to go to the next billionaire company and try them out for the same thing... " See the telecom companies, apple, fast food, etc...

I guess the end question is how to farm a healthy mom and pop system, but typically they die because of lack of service-ability and marketing which the big corporations can easily do and have done
Of course, a lot of this is about coding on paper.
I would wonder if it is possible to run the projection on screen instead. Say I have three iPads; their placement can likely be some input. The projection will not get a resolution comparable to a screen soon.

One issue with iPad is the pencil does not automatically reconnect to another one after touching anther screen.
You probably want to put it in front of an actual person and get them to transcribe it for you. I don't think there's any off the shelf OCR that will work particularly well for it.

I have a close family member who is a historian and frequently read and transcribed mid 19th to early 20th century German handwriting for his work.

Many historians and archivists in Germany would have the ability to transcribe this for you if you reached out to them and paid for their time.
I've just migrated from a 4 year old Macbook to top of the line M3 Max. My previous Macbook had multiple kernel extensions, lots of customisation and homebrew apps and such. I was convinced that I'd spend a significant amount of time setting it up again - so I'd made some bash scripts in preperation to reinstall my homebrew stuff etc.

So upon receiving my macbook I used the migration assistant and ticked everything, and to my surprised I've spent less than an hour getting this new machine up to speed. It moved everything including all my settings, apps, configurations for those apps etc. The only issues I've had is docker didn't move across, and I've had to manually download universal binaries of a few intel apps. It has been completely flawless.

I don't see the value add for the use-case you describe of machine migrations when Apple's tool for this works so well.
There is a lot going on here! I did not know about the night time center blind spot. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blind_spot_(vision)

I think it's cool when you move your eyes across white LEDs you can see them break into their primary colors(depending on the PWM).
Perhaps one of us is misunderstanding the other, but I don’t mean follow FHS for what it installs, I mean doing it only for its root. /opt is exactly the place where you put the “other”. Homebrew (by default on Apple Silicon) does it perfectly well in a self-contained manner that does not need to fudge with the hierarchy.
Given the history of layoffs, I am afraid that one day soon we’ll be reading about Fuchsia being dropped. It was always ambitious but it’s not the kind of project modern Google seems capable of committing to.

Sure, I have one 6 month job where all I can reasonably list is "implemented audit logging across all our projects to ensure HIPAA compliance."

It was the most demoralizing job I've ever had, and I'm grateful that I WAS laid off (easy to say now that I have a new job). Making every line on your resume a banger may be impossible. But if you've got job after job of "implemented SAAS app in Django", it starts to say something about you. Looking at it from a hiring manager's perspective, why would I want to talk to the guy who "built data analytics tools with SQL Server", vs the guy who "reduced the processing time on our main data warehouse from 24 to 2 hours, allowing us to provide real-time analytics to our customers". I've got 100 resumes with SQL Server experience. The first one had a job; maybe they were good at it, perhaps they weren't, I don't know. I have literally nothing to go on. The second at least accomplished something (or is a liar; yes, I'm aware of this possibility). If you don't give me a reason to speak to you, specifically, you are just hoping you win the lottery and happen to be one of the ones I call in.

> but the OP was told to add the outcomes

Outcomes don't have to be the final outcome of the whole project. The outcome of the Salesforce failure above was millions of wasted dollars. The outcome of my refactoring our data model was a cost savings of $350k/year.

In my experience people complain about strict processes that books or consultants say must be followed. I've rarely heard someone complain about the content of the agile manifesto. So start with what you've got, and iteratively keep what works and chuck what doesn't, until you have a process that works.

I'll add that kanban means much less time filling a backlog, to the point that an individual can own that, and you're eliminating that meeting.

We still see much of the same thing going on today with many syndromes which are largely collections of symptoms with no definitive diagnostic test: depression, leaky gut, chronic fatigue, long COVID, etc. In many cases the symptoms probably aren't just psychosomatic and there is some underlying pathology but the root causes are unclear and we're probably inappropriately bundling multiple distinct conditions together.
Is it a wonderful process that would work with any team or is it a wonderful team that would make any process work, or maybe (what I think) has the team evolved a process that works based on influences like agile and team dynamics, and is probably still refining it.
