One alternative to method would be education about resources and options.

There was a time when I was younger that I was way, way behind on child support. My wife got injured and could not work; I was keeping the house alive on one self-employed income and doing the best that I felt I could to keep everyone afloat. I now understand that I could have petitioned the court to adjust the amount I was expected to pay [based on their interpretation of my ability to pay], but (lacking omniscience) I didn't understand that at the time and I had no readily-apparent way to seek guidance about my options, so I fell further and further behind. (Even a fucking photocopied pamphlet would have been helpful.)

Another alternative might be community service as an intermediate step that happens before jail and/or license suspension. A person who is working for free, and by force, at a recycling center every weekend while being able to maintain their usual income is certainly better-equipped to be able to pay child support than a person who is in jail or who is unable to drive to work.

But neither of those options seem to be commonly (if ever) used in Ohio.
To be clear we're talking about less than 200 trucks by my count, most of which were built in 2013-2016, the Baghdad Arizona mine still hasn't deployed anything yet as far as I know (I asked people in that area). None of this has anything to do with code completion or image generation and LLMs don't even do anything semi-related to vision. That's entirely beyond the scope of how they're designed.

It is not surprising to me anymore the threads that get pulled to justify this insane hype, but what does shock me is that it's going on 8 months of the same very tired and thin arguments that get smaller and smaller in their claims the more questions you ask.
I’ve thought about building something similar, but for an arbitrary number of sound sources, with a single flying fader, a small mono display for icons, and some buttons.

Variance in human ability is smaller than variance in income. Productivity does not explain income in capitalist economies. Instead, most of the changes in income are explained by differences in hierarchy. You might say that more able individuals are more likely to be higher up in the hierarchy, but being higher up doesn't require an increase in ability proportional with the increase in income. You only need to be 1% better than the next guy to win the competition, leading small differences in ability to result in large differences in income.

Using genetics to explain the fairness of capitalism is a pretty common lie we tell ourselves to make us feel superior over poor people.
Sure thing. Keep in mind by the way that it's actually already prohibitively difficult for a player to truly brute-force their way around the board, especially in larger boards. Below is a rough intuition-based proof of why that is.

If you think about the chess board in abstracted terms, you can actually map an echo chess puzzle to a graph theory problem. First, you disregard any empty squares, and you consider each piece-square as a node, with its neighboring nodes being any node that can be reached from this node using any number of >0 valid moves without reaching any interim node on the way.

Using that process, you can now convert an entire echo chess board into a graph where each chess piece is a single node. Now you can ask the question, "what is the objective of solving an echo chess puzzle in terms of this graph?"

It turns out that since the goal is to clear all pieces of the board, and in order to clear pieces we have to reach their corresponding square, then in graph terms our goal is to visit every node. However we can only visit every node once at most (because once a piece is captured, it is taken off the board).

In other words, an echo chess puzzle is the same as "visiting every node on the graph exactly once". That's the HPP which is NP-complete, and if you're looking for the shortest HPP, it's even NP-hard.

TL;DR: brute-forcing as a player is not the optimal strategy.
I've been using Terraform for 4 years with Azure and compared to the alternatives (ARM templates or Bicep) it's definitely a win. When you run into issues Terraform is usually very transparent about them and its source code is readable. Even when something is not supported by a provider (yet) you have the local-exec escape hatch to deploy and tear down a resource.

Why wish the world to be more complicated by insisting a character do double duty both as a valid character in file names and also a delimiter in lists of file names, such as commonly occur in command line arguments?

By allowing a character to do double duty in that way, you make necessary all the complexity of quoting/escaping.

If the set of file name characters, and the set of file name delimiters, are orthogonal, you reduce (possibly even eliminate) the need for that complexity.

Also, allowing space in filenames creates other difficulties, such as file names with trailing spaces, double spaces, etc, which might not be noticed, even two files whose names differ only in the number of spaces.

A character like underscore does not have the same problem, since a trailing underscore or a double underscore is more readily recognised than a trailing or double space.
I created a browser plugin that became pretty popular among readers with dyslexia, and we got a lot of requests for OD support. We added it and some people like it. My theory is that this relates partly to the increased kerning and the weight of the font (which makes a particularly big difference in combination with the color-based tech we use, since it makes the color more visible that way).

I have seen that some dyslexia fonts don't seem to have an advantage from a population level, but that doesn't mean it isn't useful for some people. Unless there's evidence that people who think it's useful are actually being misled by their perception, I'd say it's not a bad idea to let people know it exists.

The majority of income differences comes from your skill. A doctor earn much more than a cashier due to having a more valuable skill, and that span makes up the bulk of gini coefficient.

Ultra wealth can't be explained with skill difference, no, but that isn't very relevant to this discussion. You can get a ton of money just through skill alone, doctors, programmers, lawyers etc aren't poor by any stretch.

Did you actually read the conclusion at the end of the article?

"Of course, we can't conclude that you should never export to CSV. If your users are just going to try to find the quickest way to turn your data into CSV anyway, there's no reason why you shouldn't deliver that. But it's a super fragile file format to use for anything serious like data integration between systems, so stick with something that at the very least has a schema and is more efficient to work with."

I've been amazed by how much better LibreOffice is at importing CSVs in a sane manner than Excel. Its CSV import prompt is nothing short of the gold standard and puts Excel to shame.

Also, even if the CSV format is completely valid, Excel will still find a way to misinterpret some of your cells in baffling ways, destroying the original data in the process if you don't notice it in time.

I don't underatand why this is a question up for debate. You need eye tracking, so that there is a beep when you read the relevant part.
Oh absolutely. Don't forget about the giant mess Microsoft made in countries like the Netherlands, where Excel will refuse to automatically open comma-separated values files (you know, CSV), unless the separator is a semicolon — because someone in the past thought that was how the Dutch did it.

You want people to be able to open your nice and sensible CSV files in Excel? First figure out which arcane locale specific settings you need, then generate those monstrosities and annoy anyone who genuinely expected Unicode comma-separated values.

My solution was to just write a generic spreadsheet writer component in our API and have it generate CSV (normal, comma-separated, UTF-8), XLSX, or ODS. Anyone using Excel just grabs the XLSX output. Generating XLSX and ODS was just a matter of saving a minimal example file for each and figuring out where to write cells and rows. No extra library needed (both file formats are just zipped up XML files), and everybody is happy.
Anglo-Saxons are not obsessed with home ownership, they have to own their homes because renting in English speaking countries is hell. My neighbours change every other year, sometimes every 6 months, because the landlord increases their rent every year, evicts them when they ask for repairs (while expecting them to cook with a 10-15 year old oven that blows the power every time they set it to more than 180 degrees) and treats them like shit. I’m talking of people that pay in excess of 3K per month, normal people with normal salaries live like animals if they are renting.

Your other comment didn't say who might be paying reviewers. Journals clearly won't (why should they, they have grrat profits in the current system and will fight tooth and nail to delay any changes whatever). Universities and even funding agencies cannot (conflict of interest).

I do actually expect to see that happen.
It seems like you missed the conclusion in the article. If users want CSV exports, let them have it.

If you have important data being shuffled around systems, pick something with a specification instead.

Discussed paper:
“Population analysis of mortality risk: Predictive models from passive monitors using motion sensors for 100,000 UK Biobank participants”

https://journals.plos.org/digitalhealth/article?id=10.1371/j...

Abstract

Many studies have utilized physical activity for predicting mortality risk, using measures such as participant walk tests and self-reported walking pace. The rise of passive monitors to measure participant activity without requiring specific actions opens the possibility for population level analysis. We have developed novel technology for this predictive health monitoring, using limited sensor inputs. In previous studies, we validated these models in clinical experiments with carried smartphones, using only their embedded accelerometers as motion sensors. Using smartphones as passive monitors for population measurement is critically important for health equity, since they are already ubiquitous in high-income countries and increasingly common in low-income countries. Our current study simulates smartphone data by extracting walking window inputs from wrist worn sensors. To analyze a population at national scale, we studied 100,000 participants in the UK Biobank who wore activity monitors with motion sensors for 1 week. This national cohort is demographically representative of the UK population, and this dataset represents the largest such available sensor record. We characterized participant motion during normal activities, including daily living equivalent of timed walk tests. We then compute walking intensity from sensor data, as input to survival analysis. Simulating passive smartphone monitoring, we validated predictive models using only sensors and demographics. This resulted in C-index of 0.76 for 1-year risk decreasing to 0.73 for 5-year. A minimum set of sensor features achieves C-index of 0.72 for 5-year risk, which is similar accuracy to other studies using methods not achievable with smartphone sensors. The smallest minimum model uses average acceleration, which has predictive value independent of demographics of age and sex, similar to physical measures of gait speed. Our results show passive measures with motion sensors can achieve similar accuracy to active measures of gait speed and walk pace, which utilize physical walk tests and self-reported questionnaires.

Also, the csv has a very pythonic interface vis-a-vis parquet, in most cases if I can fit the file in memory I would go with CSV.

I looked right when I posted that and found 2x32GB non-ECC 5600MHz for $165, exactly half the $330 price of the sticks listed in the post. I spent several minutes looking for cheaper ECC at the same specs and couldn't find any.

Trying again, I can find some Kingston sticks that are $120 each, so that's about 50% higher. Amazon's search is really bad, by the way. But that's not the "at most" price. And a month ago they were $140 each.

Also the spec sheet says they are 72 bit modules made out of 20 2GB x8 chips? That is baffling. Is 10% of the memory going unused? https://www.kingston.com/datasheets/KSM56E46BD8KM-32HA.pdf

Edit: Micron data sheets suggest that UDIMMs have 2x13 command/address pins and RDIMMs have 2x6, so that's one piece of the puzzle. Apparently UDIMMs can do x64 and x72, and RDIMMs can do x72 and x80.

Does localization involve more than a few hundred strings per locale, all of which should compress really well? Maybe add in some localized icon sets, but much fewer than the number of supported locales.

Spain is becoming Cuba or China
Recently, Spain announced a ban on Worldcoin due to "privacy concerns," and shockingly, they also threatened to ban Telegram citing piracy reasons. These extreme decisions sparked an outcry from citizens, prompting deep interrogations about the state of liberty in Spain. While it appears that these bans will not proceed, the fact that such drastic measures were nearly implemented is alarming.

Only countries like North Korea, Cuba, China have banned telegram service, just to give a bit more context.
