It depends. Low paying but fulfilling can come about in a lot of different ways. Benefits can exist in other ways than pay. Many low paying jobs are nonetheless prestigious, highly sought after, and fulfilling, because they have lots of benefits that exist outside of the pay. Many 'elite' cultural jobs are an example.

But you could also end up in low paying and fulfilling that nonetheless make it hard to live off of. Ironically, again, many 'elite' cultural jobs are an example. There is a reason why, in general, people from wealthy families end up working in those jobs. Sometimes they aren't even advertised. Other times they don't pay at all. Your average lower-middle class person can only work in low paying non-profit cultural jobs so long before taking an exit ramp for the for-profit world and higher pay.

Non-profit work is extremely org and team dependant. Lots of orgs will take advantage of people doing non-profit work. They will use the idea of 'doing good' as an excuse to force overtime, pile stress on people, and use theoretical better pay as a carrot on the end of a stick. Non-profits can also be extremely donor dependant, which is a side of the 'industry' that leaves a sour-taste in many mouths; there's a lot of sucking up to wealthy people.

Government work can be extremely fulfilling and, relative to the median wage of people in America, can actually be quite well paid. The benefits are usually also amazing. It can also be slow, bureaucratic to levels you simply cannot believe, and depressing, however; working in government requires a certain mindset and expectations that some people simply don't have.
> Maybe school curricula changes faster in Australia

I currently work part time as a teachers aid at an Australian rural school, I have a background in exploration geophysics (field work and coding aquisition, processing, interpretation suites for mag, grav, radiometrics), in computational symbolic algebra ( CAYLEY|MAGMA, being used to today to crack quantum encrypt candidates ), and general engineering (the nuts and bolts mech|civil type).

I talk to farm kids about drones, programming, multi spectral signal processing, ANOVA & sample crops, linear programming constraint optimisation and farm budgets.

And a slew of other things, I prep a few weeks in advance and CC my notes to others in ed chat groups. There's a strict regular curricula, I'm outside that in the "and also" after school activities.

Not all of them are into everything, a few of them at most will get into the nitty gritty, all of them can grasp how these things apply to modern agriculture.

Othe part time teachers aids include semi retired trades people that can and have fixed everything from locomotives, boom cranes, combine harvesters, screens, crushers, light aircraft, helicopters, etc.

It's been that way in this state for 50 odd years, my son went to a high school with an aviation program, they built and flew a plane over two years.

We also have sensible health care and a minimum wage that people can get by on without tips.
There was legislation that changed this a couple years ago.

This includes motion estimation and mode decision, motion compensation and residual coding, and entropy coding. It can also be used to generate motion vectors between two frames, which are useful for applications such as depth estimation, frame interpolation, encoding using other codecs not supported by NVENC, or hybrid encoding wherein motion estimation is performed by NVENC and the rest of the encoding is handled elsewhere in the system. These operations are hardware accelerated by a dedicated block on GPU silicon die. NVENCODE APIs provide the necessary knobs to utilize the hardware encoding capabilities.

Did you watch the video? He also says, “we don’t know what’s on the back side of the moon”

I guess we have decided to elect political representatives are just egotistical camera whores, but why should the top decision maker at a technical agency be a complete idiot who is ignorant about many things the agency he runs has done? It would be like the head of the air force saying airplanes fly because of flubber
Yeah, I watched it. I can hear it both ways. I don't know his mind or lack thereof, only that he hasn't necessarily spoken wrongly in that phrase

I could see governmental types having a colloquial use of the word at times like these that doesn't mean "it's always in the literal absence of light".

As an end user, is there any immediate usability gains to be had with Wayland today? I understand X is old and crufty, but if I embraced the switch do I gain anything? Or more it sets the stage for future improvements kind of thing?
Good. Governments shouldn't be involved in building residential buildings to begin with.
I remember early days building some of this stuff with Flash. Good times. Back then, you had to do quite a bit of work to make it yours, and it felt fresh and risky.

Now, digitally-generated images (including photography) is totally ubiquitous.

Generative art is awesome! But it isn't Art art.

My thinking has come around to the idea that Art art is an exclusively human-to-human transaction, and must be imbued with the soul of its creator; the intangibles of style and taste, the ineffable of lived experiences, the errors and happy accidents and imperfections.

Both are art. But Art art can never be replaced by machines, and that's a good thing.

Keep it handy. One day you won't have a computer or phone available and you have a need to multiply two large numbers together ... your SO is depending on you ... the kids are agog and probably gurning in slow mo as the situation unfolds.

... you firmly grasp your slide rule (its plastic is comfortingly warm).

You take the logs of the two numbers with swift aplomb note them down with your trusty crayon on the SO's thigh (first available place to scribe) and without wavering, you add them together.

Armed with the crucial sum you deliver the answer to the multiplication with a casual flick and a careful read of the slide rule.

Yes, we have progressed somewhat. However, there is something rather satisfying using a slide rule. You do somehow feel the numbers within your hands. With a slide rule you can deal with far bigger numbers than you feel comfortable within your noddle (head). You can do that too with a calculator but you "feel and touch" the numbers with a slide rule.

Some of these are so cool. I have a great piece by Manolo Gamboa Noan, made in Processing.

Which of my multiple assertions were not him? Is he not responsible for the executions of thousands of dissidents? Did he not wish frequently for the destruction of Israel? Is he not behind the subjugation of women?

You're framing this as Israel, Iran etc. The problem is in specific governments not inherently in the countries. Israel and Iran used to have a great relationship before the Islamic revolution. Many Iranian expats live in Israel. People like Raisi are a huge part of the problem. He's one of the boogiemen who Netanyahu (and people like him) use to rise to power.

I had a nightmare trying to get a 4 x 4k monitor setup using Xorg. When I switched to Wayland, basically all my problems were solved and it worked out of the box. The Xorg multiple monitor support is really bad and barely works if you are trying to do anything complex with it.

If that's not a problem you have then great! But most people today are using multiple monitors.

The brain evolved to be intelligent. Intelligence is the ability to model the outside world in order to make predictions and then choose an optimal course of action. More intelligent beings are generally more "fit" in the evolutionary sense. Hence how humans have conquered all the ecosystems on the planet.

Turns out, consciousness/experience/qualia is an unexpected side effect of this process. We can "feel" the intelligence happening.

Where we humans get lost is believing that it has any meaning, or that we are somehow in control. We're not; the feeling of free will is just a other trick of qualia.

Why can't we just use `Either` or ADT
If you want this to be a little safer, instead of just those guardrails to prevent semicolons and such, you can split the command into an array of arguments, and use subprocess.Popen. It won't execute through a shell, so you don't have to worry about shell injection[1]. Though I'm sure there are unsafe ways to invoke ffmpeg anyway.

I remember when it initially debuted and the best thing about it was they were offering a $49/mo lease. Now, I'm a militant "you should own your car, never lease" guy, but even I was tempted. That was just a stupidly ridiculous good deal. Wonder if they'll bring that back too (I won't hold my breath).
This was before we switched to ARM. We would have had to make a compiler/runtime for the AT&T Hobbit processor (or get DEC interested in doing it). (Hmm, maybe this was 1989 not 1990.)
NACK.
An Exception should be exactly that: an Exception, not an expected control flow for normal situations. Yes, I get that these are not all that different in practice, but then again, `throw` isn't all that different than `goto` either, and `catch(err)` definitely implies something other than "if(url)", and covers a much more ambiguous set of scenarios on its own.

Okay so I guess I'm also a guy who can't handle try catching
Clearly he can handle it given that he mentioned try-catch and the cons of using that approach (cant use const, the control flow is exception-driven, increased verbosity, etc.)

The key takeaway of the article is that the author kickstarted interest in extending the URL API so that people can actually validate URLs. Not many people are fond of the idea of "validation by running a function and seeing if it throws an exception".
CATL Shenxing Battery Strikes Fear into the Hearts of Governments and Automakers
Live has a _huge_ advantage in the storage side. In a purely "live" sense all of the content is temporally synchronised; every viewer is requesting approximately the same segments at the same time. Store the current chunks, and the last few minutes of seek time, in memory and put out on the wire to all of the viewers. Twitch talked about this a bit just before/after the AMZN acquisition.

In a prerecorded video CDN managing that catalog is a PITA and does drive meaningful infrastructure cost. You need the "right" content to be in the correct location for low cost peering/transit/distribution, on the correct media for the total throughput:size, in the optimal number of encodings for efficient/quality playback, etc. This job is a lot easier when the provider controls the catalog, and has a limited catalog size. See some of the OpenConnect talks where they're "preloading" content offpeak to optimize IO allocation on the appliances. It was an absolute nightmare to try and manage with a many PB catalog with 3P content that service didnt control the release/popularity of.

Edit: source, principal at AWS and was responsible for a lot of the prime video delivery once upon a time.
I love clovers, I love some weeds. But there are weeds in Australia that stick to your shoes, your hair, your feet and are painfully hard to get rid of. There are also painful bindis that stick razer sharp spikes into your feet as you walk. There are itchy, hairy weeds that sting you.

Without these, it's just ugly. But obviously with these is a waste of a backyard.

Neuroscience has already done lots of investigations as to what's there and why. We know which structures in the brain do what (including "consciousness") at an increasingly fine level. We can observe all sorts of brain disorders and dysfunctions and their effect on consciousness. You can do drugs yourself to alter the ingredients of consciousness.

I think people just don't like how boring the answer is.
Many humans spend their formative years learning that they can overcome most obstacles with enough effort and willpower.

This optimism carries over to their adult life, despite the newer obstacles being infinitely more difficult and complex so as to be incomparable.

Yes the range is limited. That's on purpose. It's intended to be a city car, not a freeway cruising road-tripper. We don't all need to be lugging around a 100kWh battery for our typical 30mi of driving per day.
TLDR:

* LFP chemistry

* Can charge at 4C, add 600 kilometers of range in 10 minutes using a DC fast charger, and power an electric car for up to 1000 kilometers on a full charge.

I can't agree with that -- POWER has slightly simpler addressing modes, in that `lwu` etc are always and only pre-increment/decrement, and doesn't have load/store multiple (the most CISCy thing in arm32) at all. And also, obviously, not predication, either per-instruction or with anything like `IT*`.
OK, we don't actually get to recognize the shape of the new moon with a naked eye because it's dark against the sky. It's still hot enough for some time to be visible in IR pretty well.

The point is that the lit part of the Moon moves widely, while the far / near sides don't due to the tidal lock. Hence they can't be used interchangeably.

Dylan (then known as Ralph) started with the acquisition of Coral Software, a year or two after the big language search. We started building the kernel in C++ then, and later the “Junior” project (i.e., the one that finally shipped) did the whole thing in C++ with NewtonScript on top.

There was also a brief period pre-Junior when I advocated using C++ with Smalltalk on top. Newton did not have a very linear project history. :)

I feel like there are probably diminishing returns on picking your best metric...

Like, does it matter if the number is 5x as deadly or 2.5x as deadly when you consider that not adjusted for population we have a ton of traffic deaths in the US?
The priority is to not kill as many people with cars. We just convince ourselves that it's reasonable to have a baseline number of deaths based on how big our population is for some reason. It's not better if we're expanding that definition to arbitrarily include some quantity of driving. If driving is causing more deaths, we should probably be trying to limit the amount of driving we do.
