I was frustrated that status-quo like matplotlib don't allow me to get my plotted data figure image directly in an image array for me to do things like overlay on camera feed debugging robotic applications. Even if they allow not an easy way it's multimillisecond performance hit which defeats my use case.
I think its expecially useful when you want to manually manipulate/mess with your system and see how different cogs on which the output depends on react - because it creates immideate feedback loop between 'your hand' and display graphs thourh your system.

I wrote this concept library over Friday afternoon and it turned out to also be interesting for people to see how you can do things without a single loop, which I got convinced can always be done, which what you need for plots to run in microseconds.

From my understanding of history, the Jews that one thinks of as natives had historically converted mostly (which is where the Christian and Muslim population in Palestine came from - not by settling but through an organic change in what people believe, like how we in the west have a population becoming increasingly secular). The European Jews who migrated cannot be called natives.

The problem here is not the nudity itself, the problem is consent. Since the photograph we've had 6 catgeories of nude pictures centered around consent.

A: real, consensual, and meant to be in public (ie porn)

B: real, consensual but not meant to be in public (ie revenge porn)

C: real, nonconsensual

D: fake, consensual, in public (very rare, usually for humor or shock effect)

E: fake, consensual, not meant in public (extremely rare, but it is a category)

F: fake, noncensual (ie this article)

The two major challenges today are

* there is no consent attached to photos, so viewers infer consent,

* and many people will incorrectly classify category F as category A, which is a form of reputational harm.

Work to rule can be differentiated from a lazy workforce if it’s done well.

Typically, work to rule is used to highlight specific bad rules, regulations, or enforcement practices at a company.

Say a company expects employees to do non-rule “glue” work to keep the company functioning. But, randomly and capriciously the company punishes workers for doing this “non-rule” work. A union can then announce that they will only be sticking to the letter of the rules until either the rules are changed, or the arbitrary and capricious enforcement of the rule is changed.

Truly Russian.
Since 2019 I've been:

- Vaccinated for COVID once

- Infected with COVID 3 times

- Infected with RSV once

- Infected with unknown ?? upper respiratory, two times.

I am absolutely less "sharp". It feels like both my cognitive and physical ability have taken a serious blow. I'm far less creative, less excited about work, less interested in challenging topics, and less capable of solving complex problems.

I will sometimes stare at my IDE and find myself unable to write a single line. It takes minutes of reorienting my mind to find context again and beginning to put some stuff down.

And that's for languages and projects that I already know.

I'm trying to learn a new programming language now in a new domain, and finding it very challenging. I'm not sure if this is the direct result of COVID, or if it's just part of getting older... maybe it's both. All I can say is that it came on quickly and definitely feels like something changed in how my brain works. Sucks.

20% is what real world data from Google suggested: https://www.zdnet.com/article/google-speeds-up-the-web-with-...

I interpreted his comment as saying “where’s the 20% speed up” which seems like a more reasonable interpretation in context. A 20% speed up is actually quite substantial because that’s aggregate - it must mean there’s situations where it’s more as well as situations where it’s unchanged or worse (although unlikely to be worse under internet conditions).

They were never an independent nation? What does that mean?

I'm taking that to mean that you think their not being officially recognized as a state makes outside decisions about what land was and wasn't there's more valid.

But I would posit that the idea of statehood that this relies on is based on a Westphalian ideal that is in colonial in this case. The people of Palestine were a nation and they had land of their own. The lack of official recognition by western powers doesn't change that.

Did "the world" agree that there was a need for a Jewish state? It seems that many people disagreed both then and now.

Why did it have to be built where it was? Because there was a Jewish population there? What changed for the population of Jews to change from less than 5% to almost half within the preceding century?

Arguably the job of democratically elected politicians is to represent the interests of their constituents - so when there's internationally a "prisoner's dillema"/"tragedy of commons" scenario where there is a lack of global coordination and taking on unilateral commitments would hurt their people but not really solve the issue, it can make all sense for an effective, honest politician doing their job to "defect" and put the interests of their people above the interests of the rest of the world.

WASM exposes nothing ... except the entire browser app surface.

WASI starts with nothing and then exposes a bit more. WASI2 exposes more than WASI1. Preview 3 will also add more. Eventually there will be sandbox escapes in WASM runtimes as well. There's nothing about WASM that makes sandbox escapes harder.

Bear in mind, applets exposed a large surface area, because you need that to write useful apps. Currently WASI looks useful for, maybe, some subset of CLI tools. Everything else is kicked to Chrome. It's not as ambitious.
I’m not a fan of fail2ban. A simple but quite effective approach would be permitting remote login only from certain IP ranges. I know that it looks like a bad trade for self hosted web apps, but it is very easy to setup on many cloud providers.

Also I normally set up a jump host first - a smallest instance that only runs ssh and everything else would not open ssh port to the outside at all. One nice effect is having to search just one auth log if something about ssh looks concerning.
Are you talking about their 1080p quality or their 4K quality?

Netflix has done a lot of work on better compression via optimized shot-based encoding for 4K: https://netflixtechblog.com/optimized-shot-based-encodes-for.... The highest 4K bitrate now averages around half of what it used to be (8Mbps rather than 16Mbps), but Netflix does encode highly complex 4K video at higher bitrates (even if they're higher than the previous 16Mbps).

However, there have been complaints about this. Whether it's people actually noticing a quality difference or just feeling like they do, I can't say. I don't personally notice details that small in video.

Maybe it's other changes you're noticing. I believe Netflix has started rolling out the AV1 codec for compatible players.
yes, had we found a way to support windows, we could have (and could still do) better. Regrettably we never did find a way - or funding - to drive tests through windows (wsl works). I still (as do many other folk in the Bufferbloat world) rely on flent to drive all kinds of tests. nothing compares to flent's ability to compare multiple network tests in so many ways.

If it's trivially disproveable then just trivially write out the proof. No need to comment on the fact.

>Well, yes, but childish isn’t a synonym for poor quality.

At a pedantic level yes they aren't synonyms. But any reasonable person knows writing is dumbed down and made worse in order for children to understand and follow. It's not just the writing, but the plot line and everything else is made worse and simplistic.

This is your thing. You equate simplistic to good writing. Most people would consider this completely orthogonal to good writing. A simplistic plot can be expressed in a silent film with absolutely no writing. See those Pixar shorts. But in those cases writing doesn't even exist, writing isn't even part of the equation, but I feel that is what you label as "good writing" and what your main point is about.

> I think it is remarkable that a racist argument against a description of nature could even gain a foothold in the physics community.

And, Germany was a cornerstone in physics in the late XIX and early XX centuries.

This shows a bad aspect of humans in the quest for truth. If many scientists are involved in nationalism, antisemitism, etc what can we expect of less rational people? Not saying that we need to be completely rational though but it is interesting when bad emotions beat rationality in smart people as a topic itself.
I think they’re typically targeting different changes and different outcomes in an organization.

Work-to-rule is most effective when you’re trying to highlight particularly bad individual rules, or arbitrary punishments, etc. The work to rule action serves to clearly highlight to management why the current status quo rules are broken. This is, naturally, the most effective when there are very specific problems that lead to pretty direct consequences.

Work-to-rule would be much less effective when used for the kinds of things a strike might be used (increased pay, improved benefits, etc).

Basically, they’re just different tactics that highlight different things, and are each best used to achieve different kinds of goals.
> too much stops the heart

At the risk of pedantry, opioids don't work directly on heart function.

Too much opioids in the system cause respiratory depression. That can go on to become respiratory arrest, which can then cause cardiac arrest.

Same end result, but the point is, opioid overdose is primarily a respiratory concern. In my county some EMS do not even carry Narcan (which is a debate in itself) but are directed to focus on positive pressure ventilation and transport to ER or, if carried, to gently titrate Narcan such that the person becomes gradually more alert at the ER and may be more open to addiction help, rather than the "heroic dose" that you get with IN (intra-nasal) Narcan.

Just curious, do you leverage any tools to decide when to patch or is it time-interval based? We currently attempt[0] to update our packages quarterly but it would be nice to have a tool alert us of known vulnerabilities so we can take action on them immediately.

[0] "Attempt" meaning we can't always upgrade immediately if the latest version contains difficult-to-implement breaking changes or if it's a X.0.0 release that we don't yet trust

It has completely changed how I approach the topic of learning. I've used it to study Spanish, Italian, Network engineering, AI, Art history, world history, and US history. It's made me much smarter than I was before using it.

Unfortunately it can be time consuming. A big part of it is not just studying cards, but creating cards that are actually well-crafted.

It's also key to understand that it isn't for learning things that you don't know, but rather for memorizing things that you've already learned.

In a rough sense, sure? That was before my time so I don't have much of an opinion. It would seem the real root of the problem there was the mutually escalating global cold war.

Yet the vocal majority of Rust users present themselves as being inexperienced programmers. I expect it is not just an act – that the vocal majority truly are inexperienced, and I expect the segment of users who are novices is much larger than you suggest.

The fact of the matter is that the novices have always been drawn to the 'hot new technology' and it is unlikely that Rust, being today's 'hot new technology', is the exception. Indeed, Python and Javascript had time in the sun when they were considered hot, and novices were attracted in that direction at that time, but time continues to march forward.

It doesn't matter whether this actually models how memory works in reality, as long as it has actual predictive capabilities which correlate to how it works in practice.

And this can be easily verified with data and simulations. The algorithm predicts how likely it is that you'll remember a given piece of information (e.g. in three days you'll remember this card with 80% probability), so if you can get a big dataset of reviews and run it through the algorithm you can easily check how accurate it is, e.g by calculating a brier score, or by comparing predicted vs actual recall curves.

Source: I've developed an even better algorithm than FSRS (I've directly compared them in the past, although that was quite a while ago so it might have been for one of the older versions of FSRS, so I'm not sure how the newest one compares), and now I'm working on an even better one.
