I used to read a forum about Visual Basic programming.

A recurring theme was "I put an X byte message into a TCP connection and I have written the software at the other end with the assumption that all X bytes will arrive at the same time every time ..."

If the message is under 1500 bytes it usually works until it doesn't.
I'd love to quote Hanlon's Razor but I really think Occam's is more appropriate in this case: they're obviously complicit and doing it on purpose.
From what I've heard MIDI controllers are not good for learning piano. You really want weighted keys and a full 88 keys otherwise you won't learn the right habits or build finger strength.

(I learned on a physical piano in person, so I can't speak personally about learning on a MIDI controller, but it sounds plausible to me.)
I did fountain pens as a teen, in the last days of phonelessness. I even studied calligraphy a bit, even though I never made much progress.

I really like the idea and mental image of pen and paper, but in practice I do everything digitally. Maybe one day I'll start a paper journal.

This is why I can't even get started. "If I'm going to be creative, why not actually create?"

Of course creativity's also a subject I pressure and criticize myself about, whereas with a game you may not hold yourself to those expectations.
Yes! So many photographers go to "exotic" locations in the hope of taking interesting photographs.

There's no need. Fifty years from now, to viewers of photos your backyard is going to seem incredibly exotic.
Leaders do more than build teams. Team building is inward looking. Real leaders are outward looking and have to be willing to defend their team(s) at personal cost.
I really recommend Gary Noesner’s Stalling for Time. He was on the Waco siege before the FBI ran out of patience and the compound went up in flames.

A lot of guns drawn breaking down door situations could be made a lot less dangerous if police stop assuming they need to break in right now. Instead, establish a perimeter and a line of communication if possible.

Specifically birds know how to fly or swim without being taught. Having raised birds that haven't seen or known another bird they just "do". They don't practice. It's like they are just waiting. Same with the language. They can understand like kind. When introduced to their own kind they aren't afraid but reunited.
You may have missed the point of this article. Here, we’re being exposed to the “how”. Then why is unrelated to the why. If you have a why, the is the how to follow.
Yeah, that buy now is pretty jarring. It was the first thing I saw, not the Pricing link.

You hit "Buy Now" and it's a Sign In With Apple prompt and you'r thinking "I don't see any pricing, am I going to get to see before the purchase?"

They are responding to a reported incident that allegedly requires a highly armed response, finding a sleeping man, and handcuffing him anyway. They shouldn't be doing that even once. An anonymous phone call is not probable cause.

Is swatting even close to be a problem in other countries? It really seems like something that could be solved with protocol changes. If the chance of getting the victim killed or inconvenienced lessens, the incentive to swat would go away.

They do it through VPNs and VOIP providers which is part of the problem. It takes them a long time.
It contains transistors, resistors, LEDs, a bunch of sensors, stepper motors, a couple displays, jumper wires... I don't know why you would want inductors unless you are making a switching power supply or an audio crossover or something. There are capacitor selections you can grab for a few bucks.

Do you think someone would rather learn how to make an LC and then look at it do nothing, or make something that can sense when it is light out and open the curtains? I don't know, dismissing a kit because it interfaces with a computer seems a bit like a 1950s stodgy teacher who will hit a kid with a ruler if they think they are having fun learning.
I use to this kind of comparison to show the cost impact on public cloud, but the fact is that when business planning guy see this it becomes an evidence for cost saving to them: since these numbers, while looks expensive to engineers but they are nothing to them, and they can hire less people. I think it is helpful for typical engineering people to know more about corporate IT cost structure.

Many high end digital pianos have midi io and weighted keys.
It's reading from a file named foo, which in this case was 4GB large and created with:

dd if=/dev/zero of=foo bs=1024 count=$((1024*1024*4))

You probably don't have a file of that name in the current working directory?
I’m not sure what the mechanism for burying a town or city section is. It seems to have happened since antiquity, so it’s obviously the rational choice over millennia, but my intuition doesn’t connect. (Aside from soil deposits and erosion.)

I'd never try that strategy for robbing a cash business. They would have been gotten civil asset forfeited after the first call, leaving nothing for any other crooks.

You can get MIDI keyboard with 88 weighted keys.

Also, there are plenty of electric pianos, like the Wurlitzer or Rhodes, that have leas than 88 and only semi-weighted keys.
Every single FDA vaccine prescribing guide says "All pregnancies have a risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes. In the U.S. general
population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically
recognized pregnancies is 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively" or something very similar. At least try to calibrate your world model for something this important.
Yes, the article mentions each call costs $10,000. I'm guessing that's not the cost of fuel, so presumably some hazard payment is involved.
Why? Police aren't required in the US to respond at all. Much less to respond in a way you find agreeable.
Its this plus locking customers to one cloud, because egress kills intercloud syncing on any moderately large data set. Any smart customer would have a duplicated setup across clouds if egress cost what it actually cost instead of 100x plus what it actually costs

They have a propagule, not exactly a fruit. In theory you could engineer it to beef up the amount of starch in this seed, but you still have to reduce the amount of tannins so it's not bitter. Of course the bitterness keeps it from being eaten by everything in sight, so not sure how well it do in this modified form.
If credit is the concept of ‘I get back what I loaned out, plus agreed upon interest per the agreement’ all of the situations are 100% credit like. If you like it or not. And the credit score is all about if you’re a worthwhile person for a lender to lend money to.

Same reason some employers like to check your credit if they expect you to be handling their or their customers money.

A track record of following your agreements when other people’s money is at stake, in a way they can get what is agreed on at the end of the day is important to them - and to if they want to place their money or assets in your hands going forward. There are many ways for a loan, or tenant, to go south and be a bad deal for them.

If that is inconvenient for you, they’ll usually be happy to tell you to bother someone else instead. If they’re smart, anyway. Dumb lenders lose principal, and that’s death to them if they do it too often.

Personally I don’t write loans/notes or rent out property because I’m not interested in dealing with the manipulation or excuses. I do have excellent credit though. And have had people write private notes for some side projects of mine. YMMV.
Strength is an issue, but most of that is 'the only good musician has been dead for at least 100 years'. A good keyboard plays just as well as a geal piano. You can feel the difference so we can't do a real ABX test, which means unlike audio gear we cannot do objective tests.

The police have long discriminated against anyone with too high an IQ: https://www.ojp.gov/ncjrs/virtual-library/abstracts/jordan-v...

Meanwhile, the FAA is currently looking for applicants with "Severe intellectual disability" as you can see from: https://www.faa.gov/pwdp

This older case has also been going around lately - https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/4542755/brigida-v-unite... - in which people cheated on a biographical test that 90% of people were expected to fail in order to pull in fellow organization members.

So I think the real answer is that many of our public agencies have been selecting against competence for quite some time now.
If you just have a context, than your app cannot kill itself and the environment has to do it. That is better than nothing, but having the app do the killing is advantageous because: A) it can die faster (and so you can e.g. do your blue-green rollout faster) and B) you can write a log to say that your app is finished shutting down all its components, which can be useful for troubleshooting if your app was mid-transaction when it was killed.

Hi everyone, please play with this and tell me if you have ideas/comments/suggestions/annoyances. The model in question is OpenAI's Shap-e.
Making these kinds of sweeping, counter-intuitive, absolute statements in all caps without any justification gives the impression of an analysis that may be colored by ideology rather than a clear look at the facts in question. If cities are too expensive because everybody wants to live there...perhaps they have some qualities other than "misery" that you haven't considered?
I write a little more than once a year, because I do lots of live events where you might have a script that needs annotating or something like that, or when you have an in person meeting and want to take notes.

If you need zero-latency access to information while looking very present and professional, or you're playing tabletop games where any technology at all is not appropriate for the setting, paper is amazing.

I've never really tried using paper just sitting at a desk though, at least not as an adult.

I probably should try it, but I really like how going all digital reduces the amount of objects to manage.
Yes that’s the limit for now.

I liked XML 1.0. I gave up after getting tired of the standards community not prioritizing users - the thickets of interdependent specs, dearth of good documentation, and critical lack of work on quality implementations of the standards (e.g. no decent editors except $$$ oXygen, libxml2 and Xalan never implementing XSLT after the 90s, often missing or conflicting examples of anything non-trivial, etc.). I really wish there’d been an effort to focus on the basics so there wasn’t such a gap between the vision of the standards committees and the lived experience of most users.

Yeah, that is one of the main value props of Cloudflare. They just slap you with scale. Entire classes of problems like DDOS just become non issues when you front with them. Most people when talking about Cloudflare have few complaints about the actual services they offer. It’s way more often about how they are so good and widespread that you don’t have many other choices and how dangerous that is in the long term.
>For me, I haven't had a job for almost a year, nobody's hiring, nobody will be hiring, rent is increasing, I'll almost certainly never own a home or be able to retire, and I don't think having kids would be feasible if I was set on it; all together, a miserable situation to be in. But... I do have friends, I have places to spend my time,

In other countries, competent police departments simply do not send tactically armed officers to assault homes based on a phone call.
Aliens collecting all the light/electromagnetic radiation from stars would be an interesting way to get dark matter. That's one place it could fit.

And, if our theories are right, we're at 4.9% regular matter and 26.8% dark matter, so dark matter is five times as much as regular matter, so that's a lot of aliens...
> The quality of something and validity of people's preferences doesn't depend on popularit

When discussing demand and pricing, preferences are the only thing that matter.

By definition the thing that is the most popular is the thing that is the most in demand and therefore has the most money trying to purchase that good.

This is important and relevant to the discussion of housing, because it tells us how to satisfy the most people's preferences.

Therefore my statement is true and you didn't agree with me when I said: 'Well there is something special about the higher cost places.

That thing special, is that they are more desirable by a much larger amount of people.'.

This statement is still true.
Lol yes, slightly different situations.

Obviously that remark doesn't justify a harassment campaign, but it seems a little clickbaity for the headline to frame it as a joke. I clicked to see what joke so witty could tick people off that badly, but it's more of a mundane statement of opinion than a joke.
Interesting that Google started on a system cobbled together from cheap servers, creating reliability out of unreliable components and against the Sun’s of the time. Now all the cloud vendors are effectively Sun.
Sorry theres no such thing as prevalidated JSON. You can do it in a sidecar all you want.

In-process validation is required. There are no trusted sources. Your confusing valid json with valid json according to a schema for a specific purpose.

Lazy loading JSON parsers have no nead to exist, at all, ever. This is why they dont exist.

If a piano teacher sucked out all your enthusiasm, it says less about your character than the piano teacher's.

Pleasure is one of the best reasons to play the piano.

Fun is also anathema to some musical traditions.

What do you mean by "learning to play piano?"

Good luck.

The FCC mandates signatures to try to shift responsibility to call originators:

> The FCC requires that all voice service providers certify in the Robocall Mitigation Database that they have fully implemented STIR/SHAKEN or have instituted a robocall mitigation program to ensure that they are not originating illegal robocalls. To further protect consumers, gateway providers – those serving as the entry point for foreign calls into the United States – must both implement STIR/SHAKEN and institute a robocall mitigation program. All providers are required to submit to this public database the contact information for the personnel at their company responsible for robocall-mitigation related issues.

It looks like Netlify $550 also includes hosting and CDN so not apple to apple.
Like today, but more so.

More dysfunctional politics, more geopolitical (inter-state) friction, more weather, more inequality, more housing crisis, more suicides, more siloing. More HR, more surveillance. More PV electricity farms, not as many more EVs as optimists were predicting last year. Ditto robots. Fewer opinion writers masquerading as journalists, I hope. Worse infrastructure, more oppressive laws controlling action and speech.
Once in a while things come up where you need to make a surgical edit in a really large file and it could be in a scenario where time matters.

For example if you're doing a SQL dump -> import, technically you could have downtime during this process to eliminate any chance of data loss. Having to wait ~30min for a command to finish is painful.

I'm not saying to go off and make this product to sell but if such a tool existed and you positioned it at $39 or whatever, if it could eliminate half an hour of downtime for a business it pays for itself. Especially if the alternative is to muck around with hex editing the file.

If 100,000 people have this problem and 3,000 of them would pay for it that's $117,000. If you spent 6 months making a super polished tool that made it easy to know exactly what's being edit (or deleting lines, etc.) that's pretty appealing. Even if the sales were half that's still solid but it could also be 5x too, who knows. Maybe you can finish such an app in 3 months instead of 6, etc.. It's also an app that mostly feels like it could reach a "done" state with little maintenance since you're editing text files which is a well known topic.
Credit in the sense of credit bureaus is the extension of secured or unsecured credit.

You pay upfront for the use of a home/apartment/condo - you are not being extended any kind of credit.

For the same reason prepaid phones don't report to credit bureaus.

That corner cases exist where you might be out money through the fault - or not - of the tenant doesn't make it a credit instrument.

All of your examples are entirely understandable - they're just not credit.

That's why there are separate reporting agencies for tenants and evictions.

No matter how you slice it, you are not extending credit to anyone by renting your home.

> A track record of following your agreements when other people’s money is at stake, in a way they can get what is agreed on at the end of the day is important to them - and to if they want to place their money or assets in your hands.

Now you're trying to conflate doing a credit _check_ for prospective tenants (something I have zero issue with and is completely different to this) with "allowing property management companies to, for a fee of course, report your entirely-paid-in-advance rental / lease payments as credit arrangements in arrears.

Perhaps if you start billing your rent in arrears, there would be a case for this.

To wit, the fact that in some situations you might be out some money doesn’t mean you have extended someone credit.

> If credit is the concept of ‘I get back what I loaned out, plus agreed upon interest per the agreement’

By your argument if you lend me your car and ask me to fill it with gas/replace the gas I used and I don’t, you could report my default to a CRA. Somehow I don’t think that would work.

The problem is twofold:

App developers want consistent look of their application across various OSes, be it Mac/Win/Linux. This means developing with gtk for linux and winUI for windows is out of the window. Why do app developers want consistent look? because alternatively they would have to create documentation and screenshots for each os separately. And users wouldn't be able to help each other because Mac user would know different interface/look from Linux user.

OS developers, Apple/Microsoft don't have singular look. Microsoft didn't rewrite everything into WinUI settings , and anytime anyone needs to do anything serious they have to go through the win32 settings panels. This lack of OS coherency means that app developers don't feel need to stay consistent with OS, since OS itself is not uniform.
As far as I know sed will still read and write the full file, even when you do a modification on a specific line. I've target deleted 1 line with sed and it took quite some time too.

> 1) The department could have a policy that considers all calls real threats. For example lets say you target a business that carries a lot of cash with swatting. You fatigue the cops with swatting until they no longer respond. Then you rob the place.

It's not that you no longer respond. What competent orgs do is establish that there is a swatting risk after the first incident (or after the individual notifies them), call the phone of a known good number at the residence/business to verify that things are okay, and then send a patrol car to the residence/business as a final safety check.

It's really not super complicated. You treat it like a real threat but with a known risk of impersonation/fake threats. And importantly you don't jump straight to the kicking down doors and swinging vases SWAT response but rather gradually ratchet up the response as red flags appear.
You realize a payphone allows 911 calls for free.
It's either especially or it doesn't make sense
There are tunnels under the Detroit River too, for rail and cars crossings to Canada. The two downtowns are directly across the river. So a cool thing would be a Gondola. Things went to shit after 911. Instead of opening the borders like in the European Union. The borders got more closed down, and things regressed.
I don't need to prove that dogs are feeling, I know that people who question it are shitty. You can safety judge a man by how he treats dogs. But being curt with an AI? Give me a break. You're scared of it, so stay away from it. Don't grovel before a machine, that's just pathetic.
How Can Warner Bros. Discovery Cancel a Finished Film
Eh...it's sort of right. If they max out their 401k contributions and count it as take-home (not entirely unreasonable, people save their take-home pay after all) it's about $132k. More if the employer matches 401k contributions.
