I've had people at work tell me their kid doesn't want a MacBook because their phone works fine for writing papers. My brain still can't process.

I've never made my iPad work for me on a business trip except for something very short where I won't really be writing. I also don't draw and, while I could probably do photo editing on it well enough, I wait until I get home and use old-school Lightroom.

The point is not if you are able to find streaming links on Google in the window of time before the copyright holder files a DMCA (https://lumendatabase.org/notices/search?term=google+streami...) notice and they are blocked from the index or not, but if the site has a legal process to process these.

I don't find it very hard to see a difference between "illegal" streaming site with no contact information, imprint or company behind it vs. large companies that have a working legal framework to take down content and do so all the time.
I'm not seeing substantial investment back in the EHR, wherever the money is going it's not being spent on improving the product. Epic remains a thick desktop app served over Citrix sessions, their web-based workflows still haven't materialized.

The problem here, is that you have no clue what the core features of a UI toolkit need to be.

If performance was the primary concern, GTK and QT, would not be generations behind (a claim I am skeptical of.)

UI toolkits have a much larger audience than the tiny corner of the industry you work in.

For general physics I'd recommend Feynman's Lectures, which with your background may be too basic, I don't know.

Engineering wise I'd recommend Horowitz' Art of Electronics.

Aside from that there's so many resources available these days that's it's hard for me recommend one thing but I'd say start collecting sources online and cross referencing.

I know there's a lot of optimization and programming within designing microgrids and battery systems.

So with your background I'd say you're already 70-90% there and the background on theory that the above mentioned books ought to help you with would get you pretty far aside from very particular things.

Hope that helps!

Getting one's foot in the door has always been hard, but it seems there's another trend here: Computer Science is now the most popular major at many schools. All of those students need a place to go.

Functionally speaking these apps would be scarcely distinguishable from the plethora of screen streaming apps that exist on the App Store already, like Screens and Moonlight. Of course Apple could reject these apps anyway but it seems unlikely.
The problem isn't in retraining a pilot to fly the new plane. The problem is that this pilot is now no longer interchangeable with legacy 737 pilots, and cannot fly a legacy 737.

This means that if you have a hardware issue, you can't swap the plane without also swapping the flight crew.
Depending on the type of rocks and how fine you want to grind them, the Specific Energy used is between 10-100(kWh/t). That leads me to guess $8-$25 per ton of electricity used for grinding rocks into sand. I was unable to find good numbers for the capital cost.

At an aggregate mine located in Brazil, the total expenses are $80-$160 per ton [1].

The price of sand at home depot is 5.96 for a 50lb bag, $238 per ton. My conclusion is you could make sand by grinding but it would cost 50%-100% more vs. digging up the beach.

Edit: Chat GPT thinks it would cost $62.25/per ton make sand from rocks.
Right. Someone should have told Tesla that buyers wanted Hybrids over EVs.
I understand you are disagreeing. They understand that the 4th Amendment doesn't offer these protections but made a claim that it does "in spirit."

> It is and should continue to be legal for people to tell the government whatever they want.

You're right, but that's not what's happening here. What's happening here is one of 2 things. 1) Government initiated: seeks out and requests information from others and in this case, offering payment. 2) Information holder initiated: who is specifically offering information in exchange for compensation. This is more akin to walking into your police station and saying "I have crimes to report, but I will only do so if you pay me first." Obviously this has perverse incentives and I think we can see how this can clearly be abused to circumvent any requirements for warrants or other such due process.

I do agree that this situation is in violation of the __spirit__ of our legal system. Clearly a loophole is de facto not in spirit. Whether that is a 4th Amendment or not, idk, IANAL and neither is the OP and I assume neither are you(?). 4th Amendment seems pretty reasonable to point to considering it mentions warrants and this practice is being done explicitly to circumvent warrant requirements. But clearly we all understand what is trying to be communicated here, and that's the point. I wouldn't have made such a comment if you mentioned explicitly third party doctrine (as casey did an hour before you) or cited some law which added clarity to the situation. But yes, everyone knows you can just freely go tell the police about a crime you witnessed. I'm not sure who does not understand this. I would be extremely surprised if anyone actually believed it was illegal to report crimes to authorities and immediately question their mental capacity. But I guess we disagree at what constitutes basic and obvious knowledge.
This was a historic period for low rates, but rates have been higher and have been changed faster before, for example during the late 70s / 80s. It went from 4-5% to nearly 20% over the span of a couple of years.

"You should really try to know the first thing before you pull such claims out of wherever."

Sigh. Another armchair economist trying to extrapolate history.

You are re-defining all societies in terms of our modern idea of government to push some libertarian view. Yes, you are correct, societies had money before there was a modern elected government with 3 branches. That doesn't mean there weren't rules, there weren't concepts like enforcement of contracts, like debt and how to 'sue' over recovering debt'.

You can't go back in history to when we were tribal, say 'look we didn't need a government', and then extrapolate that to todays world and promote anarchy.

Money before 'central government'? Central to what? My tribe? You are just re-defining what a government is. You are going back to when we were exchanging shiny bits of shell.

I have. My children aren't perfect. They make mistakes like most children do.

I'm glad to read that your three year old does not. That's awesome! I'd love for my children to never fall prey to their own impulsivity.

The inner peace from having successfully imparted computer-like unwavering conscientiousness to your child must be unparalleled. I'm envious.

When they released dev kits, that’s what they called them.

This is a Pro product release. I’m personally inclined to believe that this product is more likely to kill off the entire VR/goggles dream than lead to a $500-$1000 iteration that’s at least as big as iPad.

Wat? They had cold storage, the cops just used a $5 wrench attack, kind of. Basically they stashed their profits from the operation to BTC, then just held it.
It seems very reasonable this will be a future feature. I've long suspected iPad OS' stage manager feature shipping so half baked was really more of getting the platform ready to support multiple apps and easier manipulation (from a developer perspective) of the double buffered "window" textures - given Vision Pro is based on iPad OS.

With Stage Manager on macOS now, it feels like they have all the primitives in place to "transpose" macOS stage manager windows textures to Vision OS/ the iPad OS foundation.

Though this will be tricky to get right for all apps. Will be interesting to see if it's a macOS App store only feature/ API, opt-in, or some other option
Oh, that’s nice. I don’t see why anyone would be against using that.
Here's an NPR article from 2011:

> The country is now due to launch Tiangong-1, the first module of its own space station, possibly before the end of September this year. This will dock with an unmanned spaceship, Shenzhou-8, in China's first ever in-orbit docking attempt. Next year, two or three astronauts will be sent into space for the first manned docking.

> Beijing hopes to put a rover on the moon by 2013, and then a man on the moon, as well as opening its own space station by around 2020. But its ambitions could be greater still than those being publicly announced.

> "What we have seen again in reporting, as opposed to official documents, seems to be a group of Skylab-type Tiangong stations to be followed by a Chinese version of the International Space Station, which would suggest that China is aiming for a long-term human presence in [inner] Earth orbit," says Dean Cheng, an expert in China's space program at the Heritage Foundation. "Given past Chinese history — which is that their missions always last longer, weigh more, achieve more [than U.S. missions] — it is quite likely that the Chinese would try to set up some kind of longer-term presence on the moon, measured in weeks or maybe months."

There's a huge volume of existing Python code.
“If I have a party on my property, and I invite everybody on there, I’m responsible for what happens on my property,” Guffey told CNN. “And for some reason, we treat these digital companies different. These companies hide behind section 230 and say they’re not responsible.”

There is a middle ground. If you are just a platform or software, then I don't think you should be liable. I don't think Discourse should be liable for every forum they host. But, when you are in the position of someone like Meta that exist to generate "engagement" to push ads onto people then I think that should change a bit.
I've used postimg.cc in the past, links are still live and it seems pretty anonymous.
Keep in mind that the experiences that people had during 2020, 2021, and 2022 differed a lot based on where they were located.

Across Canada as a whole, for example, there were a lot of harsh, extremely harmful, and blatantly stupid "public health" policies that were forced on the general public pretty much the entire time.

Quebec tended to be far more totalitarian about the restrictions than the other provinces, though. People in Quebec had to endure awful curfews, for example, while that generally wasn't the case elsewhere in the country.

Toronto forced masking months before it was forced across the entire province of Ontario.

The "unvaccinated" people, including those who were perfectly healthy the entire time, also faced significant discrimination and harm into late 2022, well after it was obvious that many people who'd taken numerous shots were still getting sick.

Also, a significant number of people lost jobs, lost their businesses, lost educational opportunities, were prevented from visiting with dying loved ones, were prevented from holding and/or attending funerals, and otherwise suffered other irreparable damage.

Maybe you lucked out and were in an area where the restrictions weren't too bad. That certainly wasn't the case for everybody, though. Lots of people went through prolonged and completely unnecessary suffering, and they will never forget how they were harmed.
This is a valid criticism of the Python community and something the core language maintainers should look to address.

Working in Python in the 2000s, I was extremely happy. Working in Python (especially ML and data science applications) in the 2020s is a nightmare. The world has come a long way, and Python has actually taken a backslide.

Python would do well to learn from the Rust project and their Cargo package manager and tooling.

I realize this is a small sample, but seems to suggest that if you placed a lamp in a field that 4% of all bugs within a ~football field in every direction would end up near it. I feel like that may mean placing a lamp 10 feet from where you are going to eat (or whatever) may actually attract more insects to that general area.

You don’t need a large FOV for movie viewing. Even if it were only 60°, you’d be able see a 2 meter wide screen at a distance of 2 meters (and that’s measuring that distance to the edges of that screen; its center would be about 15% closer)

I'm not familiar with Kinesis's sink APIs, but yes I'd imagine you'll have to write your own connector from scratch.

To answer your question, though, no: in the Kafka connector, the frequency of inserts into ClickHouse is configurable relatively independent of the batch size, so you don't need massive scale for real-time CH inserts. To save you a couple hours, here's an example config for the connector:

# Snippet from connect-distributed.properties

# Max bytes per batch: 1 GB
fetch.max.bytes=1000000000
consumer.fetch.max.bytes=1000000000
max.partition.fetch.bytes=1000000000
consumer.max.partition.fetch.bytes=1000000000

# Max age per batch: 2 seconds
fetch.max.wait.ms=2000
consumer.fetch.max.wait.ms=2000

# Max records per batch: 1 million
max.poll.records=1000000
consumer.max.poll.records=1000000

# Min bytes per batch: 500 MB
fetch.min.bytes=500000000
consumer.fetch.min.bytes=500000000

You also might need to increase `message.max.bytes` on the broker/cluster side.

If you're still deciding, I'd recommend Kafka over Kinesis because (1) it's open source so more options, e.g. self host or Confluent or AWS MSK and (2) it has a much bigger community, meaning better support, more StackOverflow answers, a plug-and-play CH Kafka connector, etc.

I generally feel secure in my role (Director-level) with respect to things that are within the control of my boss and myself. My company is doing _okay_, and I bring a certain level of expertise that surpasses many of my peers and the folks that I'm responsible for, so that gives me a certain level of comfort in knowing that they can't really fire me. My boss has told me straight out that he can't lose me, to the point where he's advocated against his superiors firing _other_ people because I wouldn't like that, and if I don't like it, I might leave, and I can't leave because then he'd be screwed.

So in that respect, I feel fairly secure. But my boss doesn't control the purse strings and there's a chance that I could be on the chopping block if there are layoffs or if the company goes under. I don't think those concerns ever really go away, though.
Yeah this is a coop as well. I think of it as volunteering but I suppose you’re right that technically it’s a bit different since we do get lower tuition in exchange.

They shipped iPad Stage Manager half-baked, to get iPad developers ready for double-buffered windows, so they could eventually ship the visionOS macOS integration half-baked? Doesn't sound right at all to my ears, even though I'm stoked for my order!

EDIT: -5* doesn't make sense, this is the most polite way you can point out that getting macOS apps windowed on visionOS has ~0 to do with double-buffered windows on iPad OS. n.b. I didn't use half-baked, OP did.

Generally, the use of the word 'coerced' involves threat of force, which approximately zero employers invoked. When you use it to describe conditions of employment, you're conflating violence with company policy. Most people at this point are going to infer that you have some kind of problem with the pandemic response, whether they agree with you or not. So, that's likely the dogwhistle being referred to here.

Meanwhile, if you are making a good-faith argument that employers have too much control over their employees' health care, feel free to get involved with organizing labor unions.

For a good book on the non-renewable (on human time scales) resource of sand, see The World in a Grain: The Story of Sand and How It Transformed Civilization by Vince Beiser:

> The World in a Grain is the compelling true story of the hugely important and diminishing natural resource that grows more essential every day, and of the people who mine it, sell it, build with it--and sometimes, even kill for it. It's also a provocative examination of the serious human and environmental costs incurred by our dependence on sand, which has received little public attention. Not all sand is created equal: Some of the easiest sand to get to is the least useful. Award-winning journalist Vince Beiser delves deep into this world, taking readers on a journey across the globe, from the United States to remote corners of India, China, and Dubai to explain why sand is so crucial to modern life.

* https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/36950075

> The problem lies in the type of sand we are using. Desert sand is largely useless to us. The overwhelming bulk of the sand we harvest goes to make concrete, and for that purpose, desert sand grains are the wrong shape. Eroded by wind rather than water, they are too smooth and rounded to lock together to form stable concrete.

“If I have a party on my property, and I invite everybody on there, I’m responsible for what happens on my property,”
