The UK has strong consumer warranty laws (extending to several years), and that rather than Apple's kindness of heart could be the reason. Thank the famous European red tape!
If Rubocop's default rules told you to jump off a bridge, would you? :-)
Good point, my bad. Yea, if I want to train models I'd definitely need to start saving up "yesterday" lol
SSH into the machine seems like the best idea for AI, and as a daily driver I guess a dual boot/one internal nvme and one in an enclosure with windows and linux seems like a good option for now to keep all options open.
Autoscaling also makes performance insights easier. It keeps the resources per processed request relatively consistent over time. Whereas resizing not automatically can leads to a lot of operational complexity in understanding how your service will react under different loads.

This dang age everyone should use autoscaling. relying on ODCR (capacity reservations) for guaranteeing resources exist.
Back in the 80's I worked on a "multimedia engine" very similar to AGI, which had the requirement of not using MS-DOS - the customers who would use this engine for their titles, simply didn't want to pay an MS-DOS license.

The engine thus used BIOS calls, and I implemented enough basic disk i/o functionality that we could boot from the floppy, load the engine, and stream the bytecode straight from raw floppy sectors into the engine, which would then display vector graphics on either CGA or EGA monitors (the multi- in multimedia). This worked well enough for two titles to be released to a few tens of thousands of customers, who enjoyed them well enough.

A days before the clients started shipping the titles they'd built with my engine, I went back to look at the floppy disks for the "master engine" series, which would be the last update to the engine itself, just to be sure - and by then I needed a raw disk copying routine for another project, so I took a close look at the prior results to see if there were any major issues.

Sure enough, in the 'empty' sectors of the engine disks I'd produced, I'd managed to include things that looked suspiciously like a DOS FAT-based filesystem. This was because I'd simply reused the same floppy to produce beta versions of the engine disks, and someone had taken one of my old master beta disks and used it 'temporarily', to copy some files for themselves, on MS-DOS machines. Lucky I caught it - we really didn't need to include a resignation letter in the empty spaces of the multimedia titles.

Anyway, this story brought back fond memories of making a multimedia engine that didn't use MS-DOS .. and also, 40 years later, reminded me to always check the edge cases before you ship a master/gold release to customers who will ship it to tens of thousands of people .. I suppose the modern equivalent is to clean up the git repo before shipping, or have a procedure for vetting commits, lol. Okay, I gotta do that on some of my juniors' projects, brb ..
As an engineer myself that studied in Europe I do not believe you can replicate the education without going to University, like having practice with real machinery and laboratories.

Having said that, education in the US is too expensive. It is captured by an olygopoly and it needs competition.
If they had done this, like, giving 1 year of subscription for free, that would have been an ethical and environmental scandal but the fact they did nothing is just insulting their customers.

I'm nearly a day one subscriber but i'm currently exploring my options to leave.
true true true! Linux seems to be winning and especially based on so many prompts and ads that these guys have started to add into their OS nowadays
Exactly. This is why the European single market is so regulated. Not because it is a socialist market, quite the opposite. It wants to save capitalism both from itself and from the protectionism of its states. The European project is a deeply capitalist project.
California and China are doing it already. It's not theoretical. It's here, today, thanks to massive cost reductions.
You guessed it right, its Photos and Videos. Thanks for suggesting PhotoSync, will check it out.
Not even as blatant as gender studies, for example history is quite popular here relative to the prospects after getting the degree.

I know two history majors well, both found it very hard to use it for anything. One started over on a math major as math teachers are in high demand. Other had taken a single psychology course as one of their self-selected courses during their degree, and ended up teaching psychology in high-school, as the school had plenty of history majors to pick from but hardly any with psychology.
Sounds like a bad API and not specifically Ruby issues.
Yeah, ultimately it's the same algorithm, it's just a question of what are the details of the procedure, which makes it confusing if you've learned one way and not the other. The whole point of the song is that Lehrer thinks this is a new, less good way of doing subtraction.

Look at this video if you haven't already:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UIKGV2cTgqA

The first way he does it seems INCREDIBLY confusing to people who learned arithmetic in the last 30 or so years (the sentence "8 from 4 is 6" is nonsensical to most such people), but the "modern" way he's mocking is perfectly understandable.

I think the song is very funny and charming, but I do think this is a rare case where Lehrer is just wrong, the "borrowing" style is a much better and clearer way to explain subtraction. It is just as fast, and it gives you a much better intuition about what's actually happening, instead of just learning the steps by rote.
Yeah that happens but that same meeting can be used to address that and get the team back on productive conversations. The team needs to align with the goals though and often this is not properly communicated and everyone is pulling in their own direction.

Quarterly planning sets quarter level expectations but each cycle is meant to set bi-monthly expectations for the purpose of changing directions if needed. They are at odds with each other, if you do sprints properly, quarterly planning will almost always change, and if you try to adhere to the quarter estimates then sprints are not needed other than to micromanage that quarterly commitment.
Yeah, agreed; this whole article seems like good-hearted, but still from kind of a novice in Ruby: part of it is wrong and part is obvious
>I think attending college may have value in terms of social life.

I'd argue the opposite, college/uni has negative impact in your life.

No they always downplayed and tried to obscure the fact that it is basically a bing wrapper. Smoke and mirrors seems to be the main business strategy.
Elon throws truckloads of spaghetti at the wall and it’s not even clear if it’s to find out if it will stick or just because he enjoys throwing spaghetti.

Writing this whole post based on 1 comment about Linux on the desktop and another complaining about Windows is a little silly IMHO. Quoting a few people on twitter has always been silly in news articles (you can find 1-3 people saying literally anything on twitter to back up your point). While Elon is more famous (infamous?) than the people normally quoted, he says enough random things that taking any one thing he says literally is worthless.
A 2000 nits bright iPhone is perfectly usable outside in bright sunlight.

Wonder how Gitlab survived next to Github then. To first approximation, the names are the same, and so are the products...
What are the numbers if you compare Germany to California, including people moving in from other states of the US?

Remember that EU has a free flow of work force, so I expect lots of those 18% will come from Netherlands or France.

In Sweden at least, immigration was always biggest from neighboring countries (e.g. Finland/Norway)
If we believed that was true, we wouldn't invest. At retirement, a 100% chance of $X is worth much more than a 50% chance of $2X and a 50% chance of $0.
The scroll hijacking turned me off. I have an M3 so it was pretty smooth (not ProMotion smooth but kinda smooth), but I just want to SCROLL a page! Especially with a trackpad (which I exclusively use). Not blocking my scroll halfway through, it's just so jarring. Yes, cool tech, but we want simple websites. Your product should wow us, no special tricks needed.

Exactly. I imagine that green energy production (hydrogen, ammonia) can be made flexible so that it consumes the cheap/free energy, whether from solar or wind, and greatly stabilises the prices. But to get there we first have to have that cheap energy available, nobody will build the plants with just some vague promises.
Please. Powerful countries ignore international conventions at their leisure. Germany included.
But to find one which doesn't suck and has no ads? Possible, but I'd have to spend time on such a trivial thing.

That whole "flip through the months to think through future schedules" is actually a pretty good UX.
I too like to reverse engineer synthesizer things, and I did it for the Yamaha A-samplers back in the day, producing a management tool that sped up the basic operations for Yamaha A-sampler disk users .. I used a BeBox to do a lot of raw i/o and analysis of raw disk sectors, as BeOS had some nice tools for filesystem hacking, and through this I managed to build a filesystem driver (for Windows) which worked well enough to get Yamaha's backing.

If you ever get the motivation to reverse engineer the Yamaha ROM's for the A-samplers, lets get in touch. I have a lot of interest in this realm ..

(EDIT: great work on the DX9/DX7 thing .. as an original user of both synths when they were released, this is really amusing ..)
I'm not sure what a filesort refers to here, but there are absolutely cases where :order can cause performance problems. If there is no index on the ordered field, you have to remember that the order applies first (ie before you filter the results) even though you might have written it last in your ActiveRecord chain.

However, the amount of times you want to order a subset of records independent of the complete set is quite rare, as almost always you are doing some kind of paged fetch, and it makes no sense to use an indeterminate database ordering, even if you are just ordering by primary key (which is always indexed in ActiveRecord)

Not sure where you are getting this.
yes, this exactly, thanks.
oops meant to reply here. not drinking water is too easy
Everyone talks about batteries but I'd imagine that hydrogen and ammonia production would be much more lucrative, no? Much cheaper storage and potentially direct usage in industry, or just consuming back to electricity when prices are high.
Doesn't really add up for me, because it's very obvious that university is definitely not purely about learning, and even if that was the case why does self-teaching from open university courses tend to have zero weight with employers? Because the degree itself has status/signal/meaning.

In reality the benefits are far closer to purely financial gain than purely learning, and personally I found that the structure of university severely limited the amount I could learn.
By the way, this is perhaps my biggest problem with Ruby. It is far too easy to have a lot of private methods and to lose sight of the fact that you're in the private section.
My understanding is that it was always about creating a kind of protocol for engineers to collaborate better. and scrum just packaged those concepts so they could be implemented by anybody. The bureaucracy happens because it's usually not owned by the contributing team and instead orgs like to synchronize all their teams into one unified process, so it inevitably becomes "corporatized".
> Figuring out how to do the feature is usually part of the 'planning' and 'grooming' activities which are 'invisible work' with timeboxed team meeting slots allocated to it, even though a well-thought out implementation can save tons of time.

Those time-boxed meetings aren't where you come up with the well-thought out implementation plan. They're where the work is prioritized, the well-thought out implementation plan is communicated with the team, and the work size is estimated.

> Just plunging in and doing it means that a large uncertainty exists as to how much effort said feature wil take. This can either lead to time overruns or padded estimates (or both)

At the start of a project where you're going something different from what you have done before (and with software, if you're not doing something different... why aren't you just using the software you've already written to do the job? ;-), and needs/circumstances change faster than you can complete projects anyway, so unless you can predict those changes (in which case, you have the wrong job ;-), even if the task was without any novelty, there is intrinsically a lot of uncertainty.

Recognizing that the uncertainty is intrinsic, the agile approach to manage it is to break down the work into lots of smaller chunks with well defined checkpoints. This allows for many opportunities for course corrections in response to changing needs/circumstances and/or learnings about the size of the work. It's basically just a standard pid controller dealing with a noisy system.

You're right though: another approach is to spend a great deal more time up front making a detailed estimate of the work... although that doesn't control for uncertainty about changing needs/circumstances, which will often change during the time you make your detailed estimate. ;-) There's also the matter then of estimating how much time it will take to estimate the work... since until that part is complete you would have increasing uncertainty. Now you can estimate how much effort the estimate will take to complete. That's a smaller task that will take less time to complete, so there's less uncertainty about changing needs/circumstances while you're coming up with an estimate of effort for the estimate. Also, if you estimate how much effort it will take for you to estimate the effort to make the estimate. Once you observe how far off the mark you are estimating how much effort it will take for you to estimate the effort to make the estimate, you'll have more information to calibrate your estimates with, so you can use that to have a more accurate estimate of the effort to make the estimate...

Yup, it kind of ends up as the same thing.
Lewis Carroll – computing the day of the week for any given date (1887)
It shows, to me, that they only tried their website on a "normal" mouse with scrollwheel. My trackpad does (sub-)pixel scrolling guys! I'm used to having full control over websites. Those that take away that control feel sluggish and unprofessional (this JS snippet makes our scrolling cool!), and distracts me away from the (sparse!) content.
The article also mentions that they have relatively little muscle mass, so maybe it is more rewarding to catch say a regular monkey rather than a sloth.

Evolutionary traits usually come with a tradeoff, and if a predator evolved to be able to catch sloths more easily it might make them less able to catch the juiciest prey, so overall it might be more worthwhile to focus on the other animals and leave sloths off the table, so to speak.
I would try anything at this point. Sometimes hope is all you need.
Immortality!
I've been waiting for 10 years for a A4 e-ink device. Only Sony made one, but it was never available anywhere. And pretty meh probably too :)

Remarkable 2 was pretty decent for notes, but terrible for reading imo. And the bs to get a proper ebook app on it etc was just too much for me.
Huh? IQ tests are by far the best measure of intelligence we have. Where did you read it is bunk?
Their mouse and all of their trackpads support right click without extra buttons.
I confess I am the author of one of these PaperWM-like scrollers for Hyprland, hyprcroller (https://github.com/dawsers/hyprscroller).

I used almost every DE and tiling window manager before I arrived to PaperWM, and when I moved to Hyprland because of its simplicity and the control it gave me, I had to write a scrolling layout because of how much I missed PaperWM.

- Having a scrolling layout doesn't prevent you from using workspaces, you have both. I use workspaces, some of which are scrolling with rows and columns depending on the task associated to them.

- Jumping to arbitrary locations also takes just one keystroke (and no mouse). For example, hyprscroller supports marks. Set a mark to a window, and you can jump (and get immediate focus) to that window with a key combination. You can move to your editor, e-mail program etc, with one key press, even if they are in different workspaces and not seen on the screen (kind of like in vim)

- You don't need to browse through stacks of hidden windows, they can all be at their preferred size and "seen" at the same time. Once you accept the paradigm, it is very fast, and there is support for overview modes where you can see all your windows scaled to fit the monitor.

- You can automatically resize a set of windows to fit your monitor with a key stroke, allowing you to have all your currently needed windows (editor, docs, browser) visible at the same time, while you don't "lose" the rest, they are simply outside of the monitor area, a keystroke away, and keeping their original size.

It changed the way I work so much I had to write my own plugin as soon as I moved to Hyprland. You basically forget about the mouse and resizing/moving windows.

Good luck with this registrar.
That's the result of capitalism, though. What else would the markets do? A corporation would be extremely stupid not to do these things. You can't have one without the other. And if the government was somehow incorruptible, as long as there was capitalism, corporations would still do their best to corrupt it.
Indeed! Some time ago, I've made this video review of 8 (EIGHT!) IDE to work with Common Lisp:

Take a time and choose one. The world is not limited only by Vim and Emacs. However, I prefer emacs these days (happily switched from Vim a decade ago).

The USSR was on non-war terms with Germany until 1941, it was even exporting stuff like rubber to Germany until then.

Those Russian lands don't 'belong' to China any more than China 'belongs' to Mongolia or the Jin dynasty 'belonged' to... well itself and just got appropriated as people then like people today and look at borders imagining things were always like that when they werent remotely the same.
>>> from a management team trying to save a troubled company. They were just unsuccessful.

My take is that they were not there to save the company, but to extract all its assets and let it go.
College is not worth it.

But public high schools are a joke.

We have failed the poor and working class especially young men of all backgrounds.

At one point, you could graduate high school OR even not graduate and get a good job that let you buy a car and move out of your parents house.

Within a few years you could save up and buy a starter home for a family.

Until there’s meaningful reinvestment into public school education that helps young men obtain the skills to become gainfully employed at 18 years of age as an apprentice or junior anything in a meaningful career then we’ll continue to have problems with wealth inequality, crime, drug use and apathy.
Selling the industrial plant of the United States to Communist China is truly one of the moves of all time.

That was neither the point of the posted article, nor the other one shared in comment above. Merely that it's hard to prove and especially so in this case with other medical issues / evidence found.

> Robert Roberson’s case is riddled with unscientific evidence, inaccurate and misleading medical testimony, and prejudicial treatment. In 2002, Mr. Roberson’s two-year old, chronically ill daughter, Nikki, was sick with a high fever and suffered a short fall from bed. Hospital staff did not know Mr.

> Roberson had autism and judged his response to his daughter’s grave condition as lacking emotion. Mr. Roberson was prosecuted, convicted, and sentenced to death under the now-discredited “shaken baby syndrome” (SBS) hypothesis.

Anyways edited and reworded it just to be crystal clear here and keep closer to how article(s) put it in context of a criminal investigation:

> highly controversial shaken baby syndrome theory (not straightforward to prove; hence erronous)
Slack or IM isn't email, though. My answer was only regarding email.

Email doesn't require the spontaneity and rapid back-and-forth, so that's clearly two different problems that might require two different solutions.
Humans use names for non human things as well and using a number doesn't imply spider anymore than anything else. Is #16 a spider or a sheep? Did anyone ever confuse Dolly for a human?

It also doesn't tell us that it's one of at least 16 data points. From the article we only know that it was the 16th spider they recorded as being present but we don't know that any of the other 15 made it into the study. The fact that you're reading something we don't know into it from the name #16 actually highlights a failing in this system for me. Surely if it matters to you then you'll be reading the study which will these details explicitly.
Things to avoid: Whatever programming language you are currently using.

This sort of "language/tool/framework is a dumpster fire" post is not helpful or curious. Every tool has its flaws and places where it excels. Painting with broad strokes ignores nuance and implies a lack of familiarity with why the tool gets used.

The “smoking gun” is they (allegedly) reached out to Johansson, which shows it is her voice they were interested in. If they wanted to use the character they should have reach out to WB, but it is likely Johansson still have som say in how her act is used. A major point of contention in the recent actors strike was about to what extent studios could use ai models based on a performance.
