> Everyone knows Roblox is huge.

I had to web search for what this thing was, apparently a game for small kids? Why should "everyone" know about video-games addressed to children?
Also, pgmq can run as a TLE (trusted language extension), so you can install it into cloud hosted Postgres solutions like Supabase. We're using pgmq, and it's solid so far.
I was using the other vim extension for years. I had tried the neovim one as well a few years ago and I ran into so many bugs that I switched back after 1/2 day. I am sure it's better today, but I can see that there is still an open issue with folding, for instance.

The thing is that I used to consider headless Neovim to be the ultimate solution to "vim but with IDE conveniences" but I am no longer so sure. Keeping everything in sync between the two editors just seems like a task that's doomed to fail in many small paper-cut like ways. What I am doing now is much more like adding a few things on top but leaving VSCode in charge, letting it do its thing the way it was designed to.
For p2p transactions yeah but most financial institutions lack the tooling necessary to make taking payments for orders viable.
Talk to local journalists. They would have ways of establishing the credibility of any evidence you have.

If you really want to set up a blog, why not just an email address under any name and a free Wordpress blog?
I have though about this a bunch (and have been annoyed by it a bunch).

But the main issue here is somewhat designed around a "scripts and folder of scripts from a package" design principle while such a loading system would fundamentally need to always work in terms of packages. E.g. you wouldn't execute `main.py` but `package:main`. (Through this is already the direction a bunch of tooling moved to, e.g. poetry scripts, some of the WSGI and especially more modern ASGI implementations etc.)

Another issue is that rust can reliable detect type collisions of the same type of two different versions and force you to fix them.

With a lot of struct type annotations on python and tooling like mypy this might be possible (with many limitations) but as of today it in practice likely will not be caught. Sometimes that is what you want (ducktyping happens to work). But for any of the reflection/inspection heavy python library this is a recipe for quite obscure errors
somewhere in not so obvious inspection/auto generation/metaclass related magic code.
Python can't, escept it can

Anyway technically it's possible, you can put a version into __qualname__, and mess with the import system enough to allow imports to be contextual based on the manifest of the module they come from. (Through you probably would not be fully standard conform python, but we are speaking about dynamic patching pythons import system, there is nothing standard about it)
Flying over north pole became quite popular due to great circle routes going that way. use of GPS in civilian aviation actually came from compass getting confused during polar flight resulting in heading reversal. GPS satellites also supported polar operations from the start as the critical user needed flights over north pole. (this is one of those cases where typical map projections confuse people).

That said, magnetic compass deviations are common all over the world due to things like iron ore veins, so maps have corrections available.

GPS isn't used for altitude in aircraft in practice, it's too inprecise - barometric altimeter plus radar altimeter are the precise instruments for that.
I'm a 40+ year old man who buys cosmetics for CS2 (which has a resale market). If you are going to spend 200+ hours doing something you might as well have a nice environment to do it in.

How is the Anthropic stuff on Bedrock in general? We're using OpenAI stuff on Azure right now and it's frustrating how slowly stuff gets rolled out in our region(s).

I won´t call it "hate", but I've ran into quite some situations where the Postgres version caused a lot of pain.

- When it wasn't as easy as a dedicated solution: where installing and managing a focused service is overall easier than shoehorning it into PG.

- when it didn't perform anywhere close to a dedicated solution: overhead from the guarantees that PG makes (acid and all that) when you don't need them. Or where the relational architecture isn't suited for this type of data: e.g. hierarchical, time-series, etc.

- when it's not as feature complete as a dedicated service: for example I am quite sure one can build (parts of) an ActiveDirectory or Kafka Bus, entirely in PG. But it will lack features that in future you'll likely need - they are built into these dedicated solutions because they are often needed after all.
> In liberal democracies, we expect our representatives to pass only laws that have low ambiguity

Do we really?

UK law is full considerations like what would a ‘reasonable’ person do.

Also full of terms that are ambiguous - loitering for example.
> any transactions that are settling on chain need to be 100% deterministic.

If "100% deterministic" means absence of shared mutable state, then this approach will surely lead nowhere in the DeFi context, because even a proper order book with immediate execution AND partial order filling is impossible to build.

If partial order filling is allowed, then either

- order execution is not permissionless (no "De" in "DeFi") - which basically means the batcher can exploit users (and there have been claims that one of the Cardano DEXes does exactly that)

- or orders are censorable (one can delay the market pressure indefinitely by filling a large order for $0.001 repeatedly)

If partial order filling is not allowed, that would give an insanely inefficient price discovery (basically an OTC situation).

I recommend you to take a look at the current state of DeFi on Cardano vs. account-based chains

> i prefer more freedom

"Accept this employment contact change or be unable to afford treatment for your illness" is often not really a choice. It's "freedom" for those with money, oppression for those without.

> nothing keeps a company from going out of business and then it doesn't matter what the law says or what they owed you - piff - you're screwed right then and there. you can also be run over by a bus tomorrow through no fault of your own in spite of any number of laws to keep that from happening.

You seem to refute your own point. It's true you could get ran over by a bus - so why do we still have laws to prohibit bus drivers from knowingly running you over? Because we typically want to minimize the number of lives we "screw", even if we can't reduce it to zero.

Further, a company going out of business is still very much in the realm of something sufficient social safety nets can help with - lessening the blow to employees' lives while they search/train for a new job.

> i don't like that either. but realize we both already do live in that world.

We can and should try to improve it. There is no reason to be resigned to the idea that this is how things must always be, when this itself is a relatively recent state of affairs and already a notable improvement over, say, feudalism of the 10th century (in both freedom and quality of life).

> every benefit has a cost somewhere else

Humanity's progress isn't a zero-sum game - there are plenty of net positive changes we have made and can continue to make.

I found spacedcowboy's consideration of power dynamics a significantly more developed worldview than what you've demonstrated above.
The IR blaster is the most common usage. After that, some games are good. Pass hours playing scorched earth while travelling.

Also give it for my kids to play instead of letting use the phone and browse random stuff on youtube.
Not a good sign for Roblox. Yes, many smart people, but they weren't industry changing (Google almost never loses) and they didn't get or turned down Google's renewal program to retain talent.

Looks like a lot who wanted the high pay, but coast along and leverage their past experience to not be dared questioned.
Spectrograms are not always a reliable way to judge audio quality of lossy-encoded files.

Lossy codecs use psycho-acoustic models with are designed to save space by discarding data that's unlikely to be missed by humans. - Often frequencies that would be masked by other sounds.

This process often results in what looks like 'holes' in the spectrogram, if compared to a lossless 'smooth' version.

Most people then (wrongly) assume that he file then sounds bad, when actually the bits saved there may well have been used to better encode part of the spectrum that human ears would notice.

It's quite possible to generate a great looking spectrogram that yields a poor sounding file and vice-versa.

Lossy encodes *always* cause some further degradation of audio-quality with each encode so it's best to leave lossy files as is, and always choose the least processed version. (e.g the 128kbps AAC (.m4a) from youtube will always be better than any MP3 version of the same source).

Audacity, SoX , & FFmpeg are also capable of producing more accurate spectrograms than Spek (with a steeper learning curve of course).

This strategy makes sense for a large TAM. But if you are attacking quite a small niche. You don’t want half your market on some grandfathered deal that doesn’t make any money. Maybe the niches I think about are too small.
Most of the work on objective quality metrics (e.g. PESQ, POLQA, ViSQOL, DNS-MOS, NISQA) focus on speech because of telecommunications demands, but some of these have an audio mode. But there are some new promising audio ones that are ML based.

I haven't tried it but you may want to look into PAM, which is relatively new and doesn't require a reference (you don't need the original uncompressed audio), and is open source.

However, all approaches are quite far from perfect. Human evaluation is still the gold standard.
I'm surprised that if you're doing $billions through one of the app stores you can't negotiate some large discount from the usual 30% commission?
Lifetime deals on AppSumo don’t seem to me like a silver bullet for growth. Considering products with free trials, or even those that start as free and continue with a free core, struggle with initial growth.

Lifetime deals are also only compatible with software products that have negligible costs.

Already done. See: PostgREST. Want to use PostgreSQL (or most other RDBMSs) as the backend for an actively developed, multiprotocol, multiplatform, open source, battle proven message broker that also provides a messaging REST API of its own? Use ActiveMQ (either flavor) and configure a JDBC backend. Done.

Just to share an anecdote, we've been able to get to market faster than ever before by just using Postgres (Supabase) for basically everything. We're leveraging RLS, and it's saved us from building an API (just using PostgREST). We've knocked months off our project timeline by doing this.
With tribute bands and some oldies, I found a long time ago when the tunes were new and even more popular, only when played in the original key will they trigger the near-instant familiarity when a broad range of listeners hear the exact same few intro notes.

Now some of the tribute bands (or even original artists) will tune a half-step lower than the hits were originally on the radio at, for one thing so they don't have to sing quite as high as when they were younger.

Although plenty can play it perfect and can sing it perfect in either tuning, these are some oldies covered that are well-rehearsed to sound as close to original as they can get.

Even more so when you can barely hear it, whether in the distance, muffled, with background noise, or only the first few notes, it doesn't trigger the "normal" amount of familiarity nearly as quickly regardless of how accurately it is performed, unless it is also at the original pitch that people heard it a million times on the radio.
My job requires to write Regex to parse data. I learnt regex by solving real-world problems and it works. A lot of tricks I learnt by solving them

Funny to see this go the other way for once. Usually it's us waiting for NA only products to trickle over.
>What normally required multiple plugins in Neovim is again ready out of the box with Zed, including feature like toggling Git Blame, viewing diffs, and gutter symbols showing the status of edited lines.

Pretty sure Gitsigns for neovim can do all mentioned (diffthis, blame line of file adnd obivously gutter symbols).

But if you need more you have Diffview and other plugins.
Why allow anyone to own anything?

In this case, while it may (temporarily) remove (if the party is willing to follow the law!) one method of domestic violence, it’s not like it’s hard to come up with alternatives. In many parts of the world, the preferred method of domestic violence is throwing acid on someone’s face.

The concern here is abuse of due process, and that it’s so trivial to take away someones rights and property using falsehoods and BS bureacracy, while also not actually solving any of the underlying problems.

Since, for instance, if that emergency order was for someone who actually was a problem, they still have a full day to go after whoever while still legally owning everything, and if they go on the run, it’s not like they care about another felony!
HotSpot has a handy command line option for this issue: `-XX:+AlwaysPreTouch`, which forces the OS to actually assign memory and thus increases the likelihood to expose such issues.
This is not a legal justification at this point, yet. More a social one. What laws are currently holding app stores accountable for what's on them?
This is the whole point:

When you’re expanding rapidly and want to grow market share above all. Growing that market share with customer acquisition is economically an investment in the future revenue of the business. Advertising is one example of how this might be done.

You can classify investing in your business through advertising spend as an operating expenditure for accounting purposes. And potentially for tax purposes as well.

Now your large positive cashflow does not generate an accounting profit. Because you spent it on something that won’t be capitalised on the balance sheet.

There it is, the answer to OP’s question.

Note you can’t do that buying property plant and equipment (but some structured finance and leasing people might like a word - airlines don’t own their aircraft.)

Perhaps you can think of some examples where you’ve seen huge, massively cash-flow positive businesses in our field that weren’t generating accounting profit. Facebook, Amazon, ..?

The only other way you could sustain repeated loss ina new, growing business is capital raising.

Someone else on the thread mentioned Aswarth Damodoran’s “Free cash flow to equity” IMHO it’s worthwhile avoiding jargon when explaining things simply and concisely.
I wonder how fast this would be when using a trampoline, i.e. returning the next function as a function pointer and calling that from an outer loop. That would have the advantage of being portable C.
Stopped reading at the mention of ChatGPT 3.5 for two reasons

1) if you’re not using the better model then you either don’t know enough for me to care about your opinion or you’re deliberately deceiving your audience in which case I’m not going to allow your meme pollution into my mind.

2) you are using the AI equivalent of a call centre support agent, they aren’t allowed to say anything funny. Most of their RLHF training has been specifically about NOT saying the funny things that will instantly go viral and cause a lot of media attention that will annoy or scare away investors.

You are misunderstanding the reason to not consent to a search. If the police officer can't justify his search in court, the evidence will be dismissed. By consenting, you are giving the court free evidence.

NEVER consent to a search. However, never obstruct one either.

Can I also get the security/isolation benefits that a duly configured docker/podman can provide (container can only act on mounted volume, non-root user, other seccomp settings?).

I feel better doing my "npm install"s in such an environment (of course it's still not a VM – but that's another topic).

When I read about nix, reproducibility is a goal, but security/isolation is a non-goal.
There are lot of scams-- maybe even a majority-- that depend on the mark being smart enough and confident enough in their reasoning to talk themselves into the scam.

When you think of a scam victim you should think not of an idiot but a reasonably smart person who is distracted, gets greedy, or thinks that they're immune to scams.

You don't need to actively scam idiots, you just offer them bad deals. Do it well enough and you get a bonus for improving shareholder value.
... except VLC implements time-based seeking which has pretty much the same requirements and is consequently not possible with literally all files either. But both are possible with 99.99% of video files you will come accross.

VLC developers are of course free to reject any feature request but if they do it by bullshitting their users (and that includes tacking on additional requirements that no user actually needs like perfect support for all formats under the sun) then they will be rightfully called out for it. Then throwing a tantrum and citing CoC violations is not going to improve things.

It's their project so ultimately they get to choose to run it into the ground but this kind of behavior is not something I want to support as a user os I will stay away from VLC which includes not making helpful bug reports and not donating.

I'm looking forward to this, even if only to have an alternative Android store that doesn't take such an egregious fee. I just want the market forces to decide the cut, instead of the monopolies. The only thing left to fix is Apple's ridiculous "fee for not putting things on our store".

Hopefully someone will do this soon, if the Epic store isn't this (or is this for just games).
Somebody who expected to be able to hook more into it, or intentionally left that many steps to allow someone else to hook into it.

That said, it is sad nowadays that benchmarks relates to some ISA generic code which generic optimization.

We all know that for accute performance, you will need to get your hands dirty and get those hot code paths optimized down to the machine code for some specific hardware architectures (NOTE: this is why I obviously do not trust closed source benchmarks, and the case is even worse with GPUs since those are all about hardcore performance).
