They say in the article that it is no small feat, but in Vietnam, there is a lot of government. Even the most rural communities (where people literally have no running water or barely and electricity), they have local party officials overseeing things. If they want to get this done, it'll get done.
Evolution is way too slow to handle technology. Social media is a problem of the last 30 years or so. Barring a bubonic plague type of event, there is no mechanism for evolution on this short of a timescale
Architectural rendering are all about tricks. Look closely and you will see the silliness. The human figures used in indoor areas are tiny, to make the interior of a building look large and spacious. The the people on the sidewalks of exterior renderings are huge, to make the building look small and innocuous.
It's also a long way from what I had thought would have been possible.
Hi Thomas, really sorry you had a bad experience with ScrapingBee.

Would you mind sending me the account you used as I wasn't able to find anything under Thomas Isaac or Tillypa and couldn't see what was going wrong then.

I'm sure your comment has nothing to do with the fact that you share the same investor as ScraperAPI but I just wanted be sure.
>The problem is that this network is so large and slow that it can't give you anywhere near the performance of a local SSD.

*As implemented in the public cloud providers.

You can absolutely get better than local disk speeds from SAN devices and we've been doing it for decades. To do it on-prem with flash devices will require NVMe over FC or Ethernet and an appropriate storage array. Modern all-flash array performance is measured in millions of IOPS.

Will there be a slight uptick in latency? Sure, but it's well worth it for the data services and capacity of an external array for nearly every workload.
SSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHOCKER.
If you still have this machine, I wonder if you can get this bandwidth in parallel across all SSDs? There could be some hypervisor-level or host-level bottleneck that means while any SSD in isolation will give you the observed bandwidth, you can't actually reach that if you try to access them all in parallel?
Yeah for the purposes of runoff, we're prioritizing irrigated area over non-irrigated because of the potential for control. There are plenty of problems in areas where irrigation is not necessary; arsenic in Arkansas, Texas, Louisiana, etc.

I should have linked to the research rather than NASA, where author Milesi was interviewed:

https://www.isprs.org/proceedings/xxxvi/8-w27/milesi.pdf

>> All believable, but if we’re talking overall, NASA says satellite imagery shows the irrigated area for turf outweighing the next eight crops combined.

> If you have ever driven across the Midwest you know this is incorrect. I could not find that statement in the linked article

Good to see a fast and reproducible dev environment on Mac without using docker is excellent.
An easy way to do this that I've used is to cache web requests. This way, I can run the part of the code that gets the data again with say a modification to grab data from additional urls, and I'm not unnecessarily rerunning my existing URLs. With this method, I don't need to modify existing code either, best of both worlds.

For this I've used the requests-cache lib.
It's awfully similar to a lane of PCIe 4.0, if we're talking about instance storage. It reads like they've chosen to map each physical device to a single PCIe lane. Surely the AWS Nitro hardware platform has longer cycle times than PCIe. Note that once the instance type has multiple block devices exposed (i.e. im4gn.8xlarge or higher), striping across these will reach higher throughput (2 devices yields 4G/s, 4 yields 8G/s).
The brilliance of naming an ideology "progressivism" is that it is forever associated with something people consider beneficial, progress.
> Violating your employment agreement is not a crime,

In and of itself? Sure.

Can it differentiate between crime and not-crime for certain otherwise similar behavior patterns? Absolutely.
Sure, still lots of legacy code in my case. I've never really moved to Swift and instead started writing in C# to be able to create cross-platform projects as a solo developer.

LinkedIn Job Spam
Does anyone else experience this? Recently I started getting a flood of emails for the same position with different titles slapped on the job description which eventually lead me to hibernate my account. Even worse, once I rejected a particular recruiter I get couple more reaching out about the same.
"Can you draw a photo of an avocado-shaped chair with a pineapple-man sitting in it?"

You raise a good point, though... I've also asked it to use its "web search" capability for tasks and it says it doesn't have that capability, but when I ask it by implying it should do a web search, it goes ahead and does it. Weird!
It looks like Firefox caches the favicon more aggressively that I thought. Even a shift-refresh or explicitly clearing `blog.gov.uk` in the settings doesn't update it.

I agree. I wish the Free Software crowd had adopted it - they sorta did with GNUstep - but unfortunately it doesn't receive the attention it deserves. Anecdotally I've noticed many C and C++ GUI frameworks, like Gtk and Qt, reinvent the dynamism of Objective-C in some way or another (signals/slots, property bindings, etc). The whole GObject system could have been a GNUstep alternative.
Amazing, this it! Sincere thanks, been looking around for this for a few years, looks like my HN search abilities needs work.
I think "taxes and levies" is a bit true, but also you pay for distribution. If your power line goes down in your neighborhood, you basically just grumble but it gets fixed. In wholesale connections you pay for the distribution power line (+ maintenance) basically up front, but it doesn't get put in the final wholesale bill.

This isn't to say your local utility isn't wasteful with its ratepayer money; it totally can be. There isn't enough pressure to lower rates. It's just worth saying that these specific "taxes" do have an intended destination, not just general govt.
I think they'd treat it like any other compiler bug. LLVM is not bug-for-bug compatible with GCC, and doesn't attempt to be.
Rust decided to spend very little budget on syntax. The issue though, is that where it took said syntax from is very wide.

& is used for references in a lot of languages.

() is a tuple, same syntax as Python

'a isn't even novel: it was taken from OCaml, which uses it for generic types. Lifetimes are generic types in Rust, so even though it's not for an identical thing, it's related enough to be similar.

_ to ignore a name for something has a long tradition in programming, sometimes purely as a style thing (like _identifier or __identifier), but sometimes supported by the language.

fn name(args) -> {} as function syntax is not SUPER unusual. The overall shape is normal, though the choice between "fn," "fun," "func," or "function" varies between languages. The -> comes from languages like Haskell.

<> for generics is hotly debated, but certainly common among a variety of langauges.

the "static name: type = value;" (with let instead of static too) syntax is becoming increasingly normalized, thanks to how it plays with type inference, but has a long history before Rust.

So this leads to a very interesting thing, where like, it's not so much that Rust's syntax is entirely alien in the context of programming language syntax, but can feel that way unless you've used a lot of things in various places. And that also doesn't necessarily mean that just because it's influenced from many places that this means it is coherent. I think it does pretty good, but also, I'd refine some things if I were making a new language.
I mean yes, it works that way? Hence inner narrative, for those who have it, and/or talking to yourself via notebook or a text file.
I've posted it before, but when I saw that Microsoft Defender sends your files to be inspected, and has no audit history of what goes from your computer to their servers, I installed Linux.

Going off reviews, it looks like Vizio has taken a nosedive in quality over the last 5 - 10 years.

When I bought a TV ~10 years ago, rtings had various Vizios as their top-rated TVs at different price points. I remember my choice at the time being less "which of these TVs should I buy" and more "which of these two Vizios should I buy".

But looking now, I can't find a single model that's rated highest at any size or price point. It's a pretty stark difference.
PRC is still urbanizing ("growing").

Old people from rural PRC gets "resettled". PRC trying to urbanize from 65%->80%/85%. They're going to have to if they want any services anyway. Most of the excess housing just right outside of cities.

That's 200-300m people that still needs urban dwellings. Current excess square footage enough 100-150m people, about 10 years of headroom. This is without accounting for deprecated housing stock. Yes reality of speculation and (mis)allocation is much messier, but PRC is still 100-150m short on urban housing.

For reference 80% urbanized US is short on ~6M homes, that's 2% relative to population. PRC is short 7-10% relative to urbanization targets and popluation.
consumer reports?
I think Rye actually does handle this mostly correctly (as the sibling comment said). I got through some of it here: https://github.com/mitsuhiko/rye/issues/671. I think it's very close to what I actually want (maybe not what Armin wants with multiversion).
> No, the legal system operates from what we decide it to.

Okay, so let's not decide that hiring managers should go on trial to prove the reason they didn't interview anyone for a job is not felony fraud but because they got busy, priorities changed, the right candidates didn't apply, they lost the budget for the position, etc. Morality about the power imbalance aside, it's wholly impractical to consider it punishable.

There are many benign reasons you might place a job ad and move on from it, just like you might get on a dating app and not respond to anyone. It sucks, but we the rejected can't be so fragile that we do anything but consider it a bummer and move on.
The distortion is still there, even for small features as seen in the OP examples of circular features of the park. This due to the changing length of longitudinal unit at a given latitude.

Historically this is the reason web mapping picked up Mercator in the first place, since it preserves angles and relatives sizes (conformal) at city scales, which is the primary use case of those.

WGS84 is a CRS first, not meant to be used as cartographic projection for a known local scope. (for some Plate carée is more of a plot than a projection)

I’m not talking about converting between local CRS for surveying an local plate consistency. You just want the display to look not visibly distorted in a way that’s not intentional. Florida is still quite forgiving here. Eurodisney not so much.

100%, thanks for writing it down. You'll also want to keep in mind that aging nations continue to require more homes even as their populations shrink.

> where people literally have no running water or barely and electricity

It's changed rapidly in the past few years.

I've been to rural Gia Lai (a friend of mine is from there), and the amount of basic infrastructure being implemented is astounding. They are trying to use digital infra similar to what Aadhar was used for in India.

It also makes sense to lock it biometrically given that the Cambodia and Laos borders are extremely porous, and it's fairly common for smugglers or migrants to try and bribe someone for VN ID cards.

Digital infra is the fastest and most efficient way to disburse welfare without worrying about corruption or shrinkage. If that means being reducing civil liberties, so be it. You can't eat PGP or use it to send your kid to high school.

> local party officials overseeing things

They're useless (at least in Gia Lai). They messed up my friend's name on their passport and barely get anything done.

It's MPS that's taking over this, and they're competent (and scary for obvious reasons)
I talked about exactly that on a conference in 2022: https://youtu.be/b0lAd-KEUWg?feature=shared free to watch.
If memory safety needs this level of fuckery to get going, it's not worth it for vast majority of software. Maybe stick to a GCed language until we can come up with a sane way to do it. These examples look cryptic as hell.
I remember reading about one of the skin cancer finding ML models that was developed. Most of the pictures from malignant moles were taken from a specific office and the algorithm was picking up on the lighting in that room rather than other differences in the mole to determine likelihood of it being cancerous. It did a great job of identifying photos based on the type of lighting used, but was overall less effective at predicting cancer.
Have you tried NotebookLM for file uploads?
People rail against it all the time. They just don't walk the walk.

I will say though. Theoretically you can still "opt-out" of it. Visit with old people and see how you don't need to live with all these services lol
Hint: because almost every web developer is a junior who doesn't know what they're doing.

Proof: that's literally what a significant positive growth rate of an occupation means - if the doubling period is N years, then at any given moment, half the workforce has N years of experience or less. I don't remember the estimate for webdev, but I think N was something between 3 to 5 years.
EBS is also slower than local NVMe mounts on i3's.

Also, both features use Nitro SSD cards, according to AWS docs. The Nitro architecture is all locally attached -- instance storage to the instance, EBS to the EBS server.
I'd love to get some clarity on this from Google on if they actually support not getting spied on or not?

It is only kinda 1/2 clear here.
> The premise here is that the status quo beliefs are knowledge, ideas that disagree are 'activism'

This is not the premise at all; I don't think anyone signing this letter thinks that and it's an extreme interpretation – I have no idea how that is your take-away. The letter specifically calls for a broad inclusion of viewpoints.

Recently (in Netherlands, not US) there was a case where a course description told students to stay away if they can't deal with the "fact" that Israel is an apartheid state.

Of course there is nothing wrong with treating all sorts of different aspects of "Israel" and "apartheid state", but once you start describing these things as "facts" that "some people can't deal with" who should "stay away" then you're not starting any discussions or challenging anything: it's activism. And not even very good or effective activism at that.

This is the type of thing people object to. There's been tons of incidents over the last few years (this just happens to be fresh in my memory). I don't know what specific incidents there have been at Yale, but I'm guessing they're of roughly the same shape as this.
I'm more than willing to believe what you say about the local leaders, but the article you linked says aid workers were being killed because the Taliban associated them with US military reconstruction and the Karzai government.
Health Care AI and Patient Privacy–Dinerstein vs. Google
University of Chicago sued for sharing “de identified” data with Google. Federal District Court and subsequent Appeals Court dismissed the lawsuit. Reason is that patients do not have property interest in personal information and impossible to show harm. I’m impressed they were able to “de identify”clinic notes. Curious to hear thoughts on the suit, seems like this opens door for way more healthcare data sharing.
This looks very cool. In every company I've worked at the biggest hurdle with these tools is getting the entire team to use them and keep them up to date. I think that gen AI could provide tons of value with that problem (because most teams have members that don't update their tickets)

A while ago I had the idea that gen AI would probably be able to maintain a jira/kanban board of choice without people in your company being required to update it. You could track this based off what was going on with other company activity. E.g., looking at what people are saying in Slack, what commits a developer has pushed to GitHub, etc, what someone said they would do on a zoom call, etc.

Have you guys thought about any similar features in this space?

Congrats on the launch!
Andrej's video on building GPT nano is an excellent tutorial of all of the steps involved in a modern LLM.
And now you have to manage the cloud instead. Which turns out to be more hassle and with no overlap with the actual problem you are trying to solve.

So not only do you spend time on the wrong thing you don't even know how it works. And the providers goals are not aligned either as all they care about is locking you in.

How is that better?

Maybe you should assign some portion of the blame to the murderous cultists who are killing medical professions and consider the reason they are so worried about spies is that they were celebrating, supporting, and hiding mass murderers.

LIDL famously burned around 500M € on a SAP rollout before pulling the plug.
All of them in the last decade.

But I guess we misunderstand each-other.
None of them cared that I knew "a lot of stuff that isn't appropriate here".

For example, a recent gig, hired me because I'm not just another Rails "expert", but a Rails expert with Typescript experience, who built large CI/CD pipelines with containers and has built complex (is there another way?) AWS infrastructures etc.

Sometimes they need someone with that exact skill-set. In this case, they needed someone to help them move from yet another "upwork-delivered-rails-spagetti" to something that could actually be maintained.

I convinced them to drop the react/typescript frontend for now (it was terribly bolted on) and to forego building their own PaaS nightmare on AWS but instead just push to Heroku - for now.

My experience helped them make tough decisions.

Sometimes gigs hire me because I have a weird combination of experiences. But more often because my experience allows me to help them make decisions on architecture and such.
Granted, I am often hired as "senior architect" or some such. And one of the first things I do, is convince them they should never again hire an "externalm interim architect", lol.
Moves Walmart is making to overhaul its business for the future
Letting me or third-party software go in and delete the files manually without pitching a fit would be an acceptable compromise. I'd even purchase such a utility.
One thing that has helped me relax is that my partner has a career that is very different than mine and we are a dual-income household. We have, for the most part, lived a life that can be supported on just one of our incomes. Our mortgage gets paid and we all eat on one of our household salaries. We are mostly frugal but not miserly. We have savings and investments that would help cushion income loss.

Academic credentials have been helpful to me - I have a MS in CS. Your profile indicates you are mechanical engineer by training. It may be worth considering if a part-time or online MS in CS is worthwhile. Especially consider this if your company offers an educational support benefit - a MS or MBA on the company's dime is attractive. I have a vague feeling the extra credentials matter much less for FAANG or software companies than working in healthcare or finance as a software engineer.

Meaningful efforts are worthwhile, even if it has to be personal projects, where you can say "I actually did this and the effect was <insert something cool>." My current organization always gets a large number of "aspirational" engineer applicants when we have openings. These types of folks can be summarized as having lite IT backgrounds. Maybe they have a little training in programming but are now mostly spreadsheet jockeys or have been doing desktop support. Or they are career-switchers who did a short javascript bootcamp and have held a number of entry-level jobs but don't seem to have actually programmed much. Don't be one of these, no matter what it takes.
> a high (I’m not sure what it’s called in English, but they change employees all the time).

To help you out, the word is attrition or turnover. Turnover would be more appropriate if the roles are refilled, attrition if the roles are never replaced.

It's cryptic because it is a reduced test case to show off a bug. 99.9% of code doesn't look like this.

Just because "int ((foo)(void ))[3]" is a valid C declaration doesn't mean that all of C code looks like that.
This is one I surprisingly very few complaints about the symbols used. My personal pet peeve are languages that use the walrus operator (:=) for variable assignment/declaration. Those two are on the same side of the keyboard, in the same finger column, so really slow and painful to type. If they were two keys for two different fingers, or better yet, for two different hands, that would be awesome (I have the same issue at work for the warsaw region abbreviated to waw). I write Rust daily and have yet to find such an inconvenience.
