Yes! Because you can remove your deposits from the bank and they also have to pay you interest on that balance. Your mortgage is an asset to the bank for the opposite reasons.
For me personally, it's not about acceptance, it's that I'm on the economic treadmill of modern times and I'm too busy just trying to keep my own affairs in check.

What can I honestly do, go protest about it somewhere and lose my job because I'm not at work?

The money men have owned our asses a long time ago and they call the shots.They keep us busy so we can't make change.

I wish more than anything those accountable are sent to prison for the rest of their lives, but I know there is slim to nil chance of it.
Well theoretically so that when you decide to, y'know, improve the grid in 50 years time, you can just add more wires instead of replacing everything?
I was pondering too, and I assume, (not necessarily se do that)
1) Cute, it's analogous to cats, people love cute thing and show them everyone else
2) They want to be perceived cute. Hey look i'm not seeking conflicts, i'm just a little cute thing hehe.
3) Real world is boring, lemme frame the perceived image of myself into the world i like
4) Childhood was more interesting anf full of adventure, no responsibilities
5) Colorful things more stimulating and appear richer to the eye
6) Seeking for socialization and for communication with like minded people: hey if you like the pic, then you're in my circle already
Buffalo is popular right now because its rents are below national average. It isn't really that buffalo somehow is popular on its own, it is popular because it is cheap. This is completely different from NYC.

Keep in mind that Buffalo used to have a lot more housing than it does today, it was more than one million people in 1970, and today, its just 800k or so.
I know a few, if the surf is pumping, they're generally no onsite :)
Not all of them do --- MIPS was very common once (now probably being replaced by RISC-V), and I've come across recent (<5 years old) lecture slides from Indian universities where they still use the 8086/88, 8051, 8080/8085/Z80, etc.
> Note, for a reason I cannot figure out, Raylib refuses to properly render characters when its numerical value is over 128 so I’ve had to directly call DrawTextCodepoint instead of DrawText, which seems to avoid the issue.

It may be using utf-8? If DrawText("\x80") doesn't draw character U+80, then maybe DrawText("\xC2\x80") would
Then don't get the pricey Shures, with their giant case that doesn't fit in a pocket (unless you want to seem happy to see someone).
I'm not sure what you mean by protected. A squatters life is to find one squat, wait until the courts/police kick them out, and then find the next one...wash rinse and repeat. It isn't a great life, but people do it, which sucks if they happen to choose your house.
> It is downright magical at times how it has seemed to predict softening market conditions

It's not magically predicting. It's called colluding. And yes colluding is very effective and profitable for the colluder - even if the collusion is being laundered through a program.
> OSI has always existed to shift the conversation from talking about freedoms and rights in the digital era to about software quality.

That seems wildly inaccurate.

If you take a look at their internal license discussion mailing list, the majority of the time the members are talking about the freedoms and rights of various licenses and proposals.

Discussion archives are here if that's useful:

> Add in cash for clunkers

Huh? Cash For Clunkers ENDED nearly sixteen years ago. Trying to paint that as a reason why auto insurance is higher now is a poor justification. Cash for Clunkers resulted in not just removing fuel inefficient cars from the road, but they ended being replaced with newer, generally safer vehicles.
Sorry I was not meaning to be as snarky as that came off. I’m an avid backpacker and have been in situations where I had to drink unfiltered stream water - while I know it’s possible to do so and not suffer ill effects, there are also a ton of super bad effects, and our bodies are far removed from the environment we evolved in 100k+ years ago. I don’t know the research on this but I’d wager our gut biome is much different than it was a million years ago as well.
Below changes will be implemented this week:

The website: Remove the pop-up & Update privacy & ToS to mention exact what data is tracked and how to opt-in/out from anonymous telemetry

The app: Add the option to opt-in/out anonymous telemetry

Thanks for the feedback
One can only hope :-)

Then again, I knew someone whose wife did intake at a nearby ER and pretty much all of their equine-related injuries came from the same trail riding outfit nearby!
That’s not what I meant. It’s hard to compare these two problems because one is effectively solved (table saw) and one is not (social media).

How did you avoid version hell? At Google, almost everything just shipped from master (except for some things that had more subtle bugs, those did their work on a dev branch and merged into master after testing).
Yeah I don’t want to pay them to develop AI stuff.
Won’t it have large surface area too?
"Consumers demand US law requiring movie industry to not remove access to 'purchased' licensed digital content when it becomes even remotely inconvenient or insufficiently profitable."
I don't work at Amazon, and haven't for a long time, and this format is insufficient to fully express what they're doing, so I won't try.

You're better off searching for how Brazil and Apollo work.

That being said, the short of it is that: imagine when you push a new revision to source control, you (you) can run jobs testing every potential consumer of that new revision. As in, you push libx-1.1.2 and anyone consuming libx >= 1.1 (or any variety of filters) is identified. If the tests succeed, you can update their dependencies on your package and even deploy them, safely and gradually, to production without involving the downstream teams at all. If they don't, you can choose your own adventure: pin them, fork, fix them, patch the package, revise the versioning, whatever you want.

It's designed to be extremely safe and put power in the hands of those updating dependencies to do so safely within reason.

Imagine you work on a library and you can test your PR against every consumers.

It's not unlike what Google and other monorepos accomplish but it's quite different also. You can have many live versions simultaneously. You don't have to slog it out and patch all the dependents -- maybe you should, but you have plenty of options.

It all feels very simple. I'm glossing over a lot.
Yes, but also I think it benefits them in the VR market with Quest headsets. It's a small market, but one that they have a huge lead on.
Thanks for the feedback. I will update it this week.
Wonder if they have life insurance? o_O
I will implement the option to opt-out anonymous telemetry this week. Thanks for the feedback
What about multiple passes over the data? Make it recurse.
I know. I trained RWKV myself using both methods, like a transformer and like an RNN.

Ultimately it probably doesn't matter that you can train it like a transformer because you can just train it in parallel on multiple documents simultaneously one token at a time, and, at least from my experience, this worked just as well, if not better.

Plus, doing it this way is more general because you don't need any custom kernels to do it, and it also helps the model to learn to deal with an "infinite" context better (while if you train it like a transformer its performance will regress once you evaluate it outside of the context window on which you've trained it, at least from what I've seen in my training runs).
The reason isn’t to double the amount the work to catch errors. storing both sides genuinely stores extra metadata about the transaction that is not captured by only storing it once.

In double-entry, you’re tracking two different things:
- Your current net worth. These are tracked in State accounts (Asset and Liability).
- The reasons your current net worth changed. These are tracked in Change accounts (Income and Expense).

Say $5 enters your bank account, that’s recorded as an increase in an Asset account. Whether your net worth changed or not depends on the reason. There’s lots of reasons that could have happened, and that’s recorded as the second entry:
- Took out a loan: increase in Liability (no net worth change)
- Got paid back for a loan: decrease in Asset (no net worth change)
- Sold something: increase in Income (net worth did change)
- Got a refund: decrease in Expense (net worth did change)

I agree that re-engineering accounting is necessary for software engineers to build financial systems. I think it’s time to ditch credits and debits and instead deal in State and Change accounts with negative numbers.

> Like, if you didn't have search, would you even be able to use the web?

It was fairly common to use the web before people used Google, or even Altavista.
> They also set it up so you can see popular raise/lower and pins.

That sounds really interesting, have to check those out! I've only used that feature minimally so far.
I've been boycotting Kindle for quite a few years now, so I genuinely don't know what that experience is like now. At least the last time I used it though, there was a pretty clear difference between my epubs and Kindle-provided content in the way the UI treated it and the user experience when consuming it. Are they fairly equivalent experiences now?
> To me this is sadly a lot of wishful thinking and extrapolation. It might happen, but to assume it will is madness to me.

To me it's madness to ignore the evidence directly in front of you and continue to put all your hopes in a dead-end technology. The idea that we need to spend billions on billions of dollars in decades long super projects while renewables grow by leaps and bounds every year is madness. We have an observable reality. We'd be far better off if we'd pay attention to that reality and make decisions based off of it rather than holding on to some sci-fi promises from decades ago.

Why would investors today put additional money into something that might be useful in 50 years? They would never see a return on the additional investment. Would you make that investment?

The only entities that can make such long term investments are governments, via taxes, and not all governments at that. And such investment is usually reserved for either basic research or incentivizing production by mobilizing human capital (i.e the IRA in the US), not building excess capacity of questionable utility.
Rarity is like an illusion
You don't, you embrace version hell.
That sounds like we're short millions of units nationally, not just in a few cities.
I just don’t get this. Part of the joy of creating things is the work I put in. The easier something is to make, the less meaning it has to me. I feel like just asking a machine to make a bunch of songs is kind of meaningless.
Tokyo to Nagoya (Japan's 4th largest city, and 3rd largest metro) seems really reasonable, especially since it is midpoint to Osaka, and that's where they eventually want the maglev to go. The idea is probably more to add capacity to the Shinkansen network then to replace air travel, and faster trains do allow you to make more trips a day. The Tokaido shinkansen is probably just full, or close to full, and this is one way to expand capacity (the route is different, so they still need to keep the old one around to serve communities between).
Did you enable IPv6 on your router? A lot of routers ship with it disabled.
Comcast has supported IPv6 for a decade. I've been using it that long, I'm using it access this site.
This is super cool. I might end up rewriting in JS or a language with a WASM compilation toolchain.
There's probably a margin of safety, and you could try to eat into that one.

But that's only useful, if you now need less of a safety margin than you thought you needed earlier.

Which is sometimes the case: when things are less well understood, properly conservative engineers add more of a safety margin. Compare how old manufactured things are often much heavier than newer designs.

See also eg how over time we managed to pack broadcast channels closer together in frequency space, because we got better at dealing with interference.

The 'magic ball' from the article is a good example of how more sensors (and better models) can help you be less conservative in your margin of error without sacrificing safety.
Again, it’s an economics problem. More specifically what you are addressing is not an availability problem, as everyone most commonly believes, but a selection problem.

Seriously, think about this logically. The compile target of the browser is the DOM. What is it these developers are so deathly afraid of: the DOM. Yes, it is raw emotional fear processed in the amygdala, qualified with poorly formed bullshit excuses. So, what about this induces fear? It’s not the technical challenge, because it’s not that challenging and easily taught to non-developers. I know this from experience. That’s how I know it’s a selection problem.
For a toy example this makes sense. For something produced in massive quantities and shipped around the country, all optimizations of cost and weight which still meet engineering requirements are taken. The only case that they would be strong enough and have the space is if "ability to improve grid in 50 years time by adding additional wires" was a hard requirement at the get-go.
What is the current state of crystal toolchain? Last time I used it I really enjoyed the language but the compilation times were a bit of a turn off.
I also tried that - try to get it to iteratively "refine" its translation. I don't remember all of the details at this point, but in general it didn't help much. (Although maybe I just did it suboptimally and there might have been a better way to do it.)

I'm guessing scaling the model up massively would probably make it work in one shot (so that whatever it was translating would fit into its state), but I didn't really have the compute to try that.
Slight tangent, but movie DRM is really awful. My younger brother has a developmental disability and one of his favorite things is to watch movies. He’s capable enough to use streaming services but since he grew up with dvds he really likes the tangible part of picking a movie out from the cabinet and watching it.

He’s in need of a personal computer and ideally it’ll be a Chromebook since he’s the most comfortable with that OS. However it would also be great if he could play movies on the computer for travel, or if the tv is occupied. But the difficulty of trying to play a legally purchased movie on a laptop, even not a Chromebook, makes this almost an impossible task. He _might_ be able to use VLC on ChromeOS to play some/all dvds but it’s highly unlikely he’ll be able to watch blu rays.

I’m very tempted to just rip and reburn all of his dvds and blu rays for him so that he can just play the video file off of the dvd.

Not really sure where I’m going with this but fuck DRM.
I use content hashes for some of the images in parts of my site. And I use the IPFS scheme for it, and have the path be under /ipfs/ or some such.

And so you could find the same file on IPFS if anyone served it there, as the content hash in the url tells you what to look for.

Even though on my side I’ve done this all completely manually, so much so that it’s literally just me calculating the IPFS hash on my machine one time and then having symlinks with those content hashes so that /ipfs/ directory on my sites contains content that is served by their IPFS content hash, even though my server does not run an IPFS node or anything.

A very interesting side effect of this is that one time I loaded one of my pages, the web browser actually picked up on the pattern and offered to load those files over actual IPFS!
The very same! It was the intro to compsci for engineers that paired with the robot project… c 2007.

Another kind of sad Tewks story is, once I went to see him in his office, and I witnessed him giving a grad student and early edition copy of a Claude Shanon tome. Clearly was intended as a nice gift. The grad student didn’t get it, and Tewks had to explain who Shanon was to a EE PhD candidate. I wanted to jump up and down and get his attention but I was just that pesky undergraduate with some scheme to get a free A…

Anyways he was a Bell Labs guy and full of lore and wisdom, but I would have loved to have known him as a younger man. Same with Harold Stalwen.

I did have the great honor of taking courses with Roger Pinkham and Norman J Morgenstein Horing who despite both being in their 80s were possessed of incredible intellect and didactic powers. Pinkham in particular was the closest I’ve ever come to meeting Gandalf.
I don't "echo discourses" anywhere buddy. I speak my mind.

You just have no respect for the thoughts of others, do you? No respect for their freedom to think and say what they want, for their intellectual self-determination. Either they toe the party line or they're dangerous and should be persecuted.

> laws that equally applies to any side of the political spectrum

Prior to the election the censorship was more or less 9:1 in favor of Lula. Who also happened to be the favored candidate of the supreme court judges.

Are you seriously claiming that they were treated equally? That this was a level playing field?

Whatever. Believe whatever you want. I won't call for your arrest over it. That's just barbaric.

It makes sense to fly to Nagoya if you are transferring from another plane. And they could service it with puddle jumpers. It is too bad that Haneda or Narita aren't serviced by Shinkansen stations themselves, then you would just take the train.
open source, or paid license? Is there a git repo?
> One problem with using this to draw 字 is the lack of vertical strata.

Totally agree. Adding the number row on the keyboard should be helpful but make QWANJI less like a language.
Much as I also have never understood universities teaching to "teaching" architectures (DLX), or "teaching" languages (Eiffel - luckily removed from our curriculum before I started), at the same time I did not land a job based on having learned "practical" architectures 68k or MIPS either.
Spectrum also sells business internet service, where you can have static IPs, speak to real engineers, etc.
If you use suites you can run t.Parallel() once for the entire suite.
IMO it all hinges on whether the UI offers somewhere for the user to iteratively construct (and view) a "current search string".

If the user can press "c","a","t" and see "cat" somewhere, then it makes sense that the "catapult" is selected, and that typing "t" might to go "cattle".

However if you don't have that meta-state and a way to display it, then each individual keypress becomes a matter of picking a new selection based on the current selection. Hence the ruleset of "if the selected item starts with the same letter, go to the next item with the same starting letter, otherwise go to the first item that starts with the letter."

Yes. You are missing out on information security auditor complaints. They are happy now because your server complies with one more bullet point (in particular, 3.7, "Disable IPv6") from the CIS benchmark: https://github.com/skylens/CIS/blob/master/CIS_Distribution_...

Wonder if it would be possible/useful to have the Ruby interpreter itself identify eligible functions and "crystalize" them automatically
It's a nice tidy CSV parser, but needs a new title. "world's smallest" is never going to happen in C#, for any measure of "smallest". And aside from that, nobody should be rolling their own CSV parsers if they want to solve real-world problems; use the most capable library your language offers you, which will account for a hundred edge cases yours doesn't.
To be a bit more sophisticated:

Whether it's worth it depends on interest rates, not on how long your investors live.

It's just that 50 years is a long time, so the savings from leaving the additional space would need to be quite big to be worth it today when discounted back.

In addition, you have lots of uncertainty: overbuilding the infrastructure in this way only takes care of exactly this one contingency, but there's plenty of other reasons why you might want to replace your pylons. Eg perhaps in 50 years we will have figured out how to send power without wires, or we will move to buried lines everywhere, or we will get our power as laser beams from orbital solar satellites, or we need new pylons in new places because settlement patterns have changed, etc.
The big reason to support IPv6 to learn about it and get ahead of the curve. If your hosting provider support IPv6, it should be easy to add IPv6 address to server and DNS. You will also need to check your software doesn't assume IPv4 addresses.

With single server, there aren't the networking advantages to using IPv6 internally.
That song is quite nice, so is the performance. It would, IMO, would be less good if it were 'fixed' to be more perfect.
This is not click-bait. It is from a very well respected source, and very concise.
Replacing the wires cost half as much as adding new wires. So I think it actually makes more sense to add new wires. It will give some level of redundancy for only double cost and you don't need to impact current electricity delivery.
FYI I've been running multiple jailbroken Kindles connected to WiFi with KOReader for a few years now. Just install renameotabin and you're good to go. You can even register it like a normal Kindle.
They are overengineered also to have a margin of safety, and you don't want to eat into that margin of safety without good reason.
Linebreaks can be escaped in CSV, so splitting a file into rows is actually ~1/3 the complexity of parsing a whole row.

See: https://github.com/semitrivial/csv_parser/blob/master/split....

Though I suppose that's the naive approach. You could combine the two into a single file by, like you say, wrapping the row-parser in a (clever, non-trivial) outer loop, and it probably wouldn't take anywhere near 1000 characters to do that...
