> 'knots' is actually a measure of speed

Absolutely right. My first interpretation of that "something like 70 knots out at sea" was that it is the purported limit speed over which they must lower their keel. But that interpretation would be... improbable to say the least.

70 knots (~130 km/h, ~80 m/h) is ridiculously fast for a sailing ship.

I just checked and the fastest ever instantaneous speed reported by a sailing ship is lower than 70 knots. (68.33 knots to be precise)

Highly ideological? You're talking as if the goal here were to run off rich people from the country, and not the stated purpose, to generate more government revenue from people who can afford it.

If the goal is to run off rich people, then yes, it's working exactly as intended. But a proponent of such a measure certainly has no business calling critics of such a measure "highly ideological." Hatred of a specific group of people and subsequently harming them in response is not something we generally think governments ought to do in liberal democracies.

I am a Senior (Fullstack) Software Developer with over a decade of experience in early-stage startups, including leading the development of an end-to-end encrypted messaging platform at SaltDNA (Android, Desktop, Backend, DevOps) targeted at police departments, government agencies, Magic Circle law firms, and private wealth management firms. I also addressed critical stability and scalability issues at MonolithAI, an engineering AI company.

My preference is for a long-term position in Sydney with visa sponsorship, but I am also open to 6-month contract opportunities. Alternatively, my visa allows for remote work with businesses outside of Australia.
From the perspective of any one big city, yes. From the perspective of, say, the top 20 cities in the country put together? No - not unless immigration into the country is unlimited.
You clearly have a wealth of expertise that I don't, and because of that, I again thank you for your original comment. It's probably better for me to simply consider your point of view rather than try to question it using second-hand data.
That would be a nice outcome. I’ve been missing a replacement for Aperture for years. I’m not a professional photographer, but I’ve got more than 30 years of photos inside of Apple Photos. Some old school scans or Photo CDs, some RAW from underwater (Photos does a poor job here), and a ton of iPhone photos.

Bringing a more premium experience to Photos would be a great complement to how you can already shell out to Pixelmator while editing photos.
> Maybe it makes more sense to post the link to YT, as you did in 2022

Based on the comments there, it seems like OP posted this current (shellhaters.org) link then too, and it's the mods that replaced it to point to the YouTube video. Hopefully the same will happen this time around as well.
It's built in to Siri though. So Apple benefitted from Shazam. I'd say Apple's Weather app has also significantly benefitted (albeit a bit late) from Dark Sky's acquisition

I'm not saying they do this, but Tesla has computer-adjustable suspensions. If Tesla announced that they had the ability to adjust the wheel angles and did to over time to make tire rotation unnecessary, it wouldn't be out of the question.

You are correct that mechanical wear and tear cannot be fully eliminated. No one can OTA a new set of wiper blades.

But the amount of control that software has over a car absolutely can shrink the basket of maintenance that needs to be performed.
I'm not as concerned about them advancing technologically as I am about their demographics. I just hope the resolution does not involve war, as it often has throughout history.
Very cool. I knew it was too obvious an idea to be missed! Did you read my comments below about how you can maybe "scale up" a vector based on number of years of experience. I think that will work. It makes somebody with 10 yrs Java Experience closer to the target than someone with only 5yrs, if the target is 10 years! -- but the problem is someone with 20yrs looks even worse when they should look better! My problem in my life. hahaha. Too much experience.

I think the best "matching" factor is to minimize total distance where each distance is the time-multiplied vector for a specific skill.

Amazon sucks extra hard because their search functionality is garbage tier.

It wouldn’t be so bad if you actually could filter out slop, but no!

Search results show random crap with no relation to search terms and even changing the display order changes what products you see!

It all feels very intentional and a prime example of enshittification.
What I've noticed is if there's 1 product, 500 sellers will buy the product on Alibaba, create 500 different "brands", and when searching Amazon it appears there's thousands of products but it's actually a handful of the same product white labeled by many different sellers. The actual number of unique products in many categories is quite low but there's thousands of listings.
For me personally, Pixelmator is absolutely a product I just fire up once in a great while. I bought it anyway because when I need it, I need it. But there's no way I would let a program like that deflate my bank account like a pricked balloon.

To help many here understand Notepad++, would someone introduce a curious Vim user to Notepad++? Please don't make it into what is better or worse, but what capabilities does each have that the other lacks (not an exhaustive list, of course), what do they both have but implement differently, what uses are in Notepad++'s wheelhouse, etc?

I've heard of it for years, of course, but I don't really know it beyond 'GUI advanced text editor'.
It was not uncommon for rulers in the ancient Near East to claim to be divine, or descended from the gods.

When Alexander conquered Egypt, he took on the role of Pharaoh, and claimed to be the son of Ra. He also began calling himself the son of Zeus.

Abraham Lincoln isn't considered a deity, but American political culture is very different from 4th-Century BC Hellenistic political culture.

> One dentist found a cavity during my annual exam, and when I showed up for my appointment to do the filling, the next dentist couldn't find the cavity.

I'm also suspicious that our teeth aren't as completely incapable of self-healing as we have long been taught. I haven't looked at the research that led people to the non-healing conclusion, but I've heard many anecdotes like yours, and I don't think it can all be attributed to fraud or mistakes.

Intuitively it also just seems odd that we would have one part of our body—and a frequently abused one no less!—that is uniquely incapable of repairing itself.
I love it with the exception that one day, when it started to lag (my fault for opening up 400+ unsaved tabs), I realized there is no "Close All and Don't Save Changes" functionality. Clicked the "No" button around 80 times, searched for some registry or appdata hack to see if it could get rid of the rest which didn't work, and then sadly went back to clicking No for the rest. I'll try to avoid that in the future.

You can understand the status of the various drafts by looking at the editor’s reports. The ones from the last couple of meetings are:

• n3221 covering n3219 (ISO DIS Preliminary Draft) and n3220 (C2Y Working Draft

https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n3220.pdf

https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n3221.htm

>> Specifically for the PDF Draft n3220, the only C2Y specific change that has approval is an editorial one to fix a footnote in Annex K to state "potentially reserved" rather than just "reserved". There are no other changes between the n3220 and n3219. <<

• n3300 covering the n3299 C2y draft

https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n3299.pdf

https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n3300.htm

>> This draft includes some additional Introduction material and sweeping editorial changes to comply with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. Most of these were to ensure that the wording was ready for publication of C23, and were merged into the current C2Y draft. This will allow people writing papers to have a proper base to work their papers from, as well as set the record straight since the last published draft of C2Y. <<

• n3302 covering the n3301 C2y draft

https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n3301.pdf

https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n3302.htm

>> This report is after the publication submission process for C23 and the June 2024 Virtual Meeting which commenced adding new features and bugfixes to the next version of C, coloquially named C2Y/C2y. <<

So n3299 is identical to C23 apart from a footnote in Annex K and the version rubric. The first draft with substantive C2y changes is n3301.
For clarity: the article is written today, but Martin Gardner died in 2010.
The disadvantage is the same as with 401ks and the like: such a system would require every citizen to have a relationship with a fund manager. At least 401k is opt in and voluntary. Wall street would love such an arrangement, and they get guaranteed capital locked up in their shenanigans, and guaranteed management and brokerage fees from every adult citizen. And, the actual capital for these investments is still what it is, so they'll find a way to make sure that people holding these default free shares don't benefit from them significantly.
Just curious but what makes a non-Photoshop photo-editor tool "good"? Aside from AI fill, it seems like the fundamentals of this space haven't changed much since CS6 for 90% of design usecases.

If you have a workflow that includes InDesign, there's a lot of benefit to using Photoshop which a competing tool would have to be truly pathbreaking to defeat. For someone who's learning, it's hard to beat the YouTube resources there are on Photoshop.

It seems that to truly beat Adobe, you'd need a suite at least as good as its own, one that is worth industry making the shift from decades-old workflows

Is that perception why everyone online constantly shits on America and proclaims that every other country is superior? For as much as people like to accuse Americans of being "'Merica, fuck yeah!" the truth sure looks like it is mostly other countries with the arrogant attitude.
I don't think you're disagreeing with me. I do subscribe to Photoshop mostly because Lightroom makes sense as a subscription. Otherwise I'd probably make do with GIMP or maybe something like Pixelmator. (I used Photoshop Elements for a long time.)
> DST exists so that the sun doesn't rise around 5am.

No, DST exists so the sun doesn't set around 6pm.

> And that seems to be what the argument boils down to: "I don't want it bright too early".

No, it's not "I", it's about "we the people", and "we the people" don't care as much about "bright too early", rather they care about "dark too early".

Here is a map of the offset between solar noon and civil noon[0]. The blue places have solar noon (sun in its highest position) before their local clocks show 12h00. The red places have solar noon after their clocks show that. The white places have it about the same time.

Several observations:

1. This is without DST. With DST, blue places turn red, and red places turn even more red.

2. The map is kinda outdated, the bluest most populous country -- Turkey -- moved an hour since, so now it's white at the east and red otherwise.

3. Greenland looks the size of Africa, which is a projection issue, in fact it's much smaller, and that's even before we talk about its minuscule population.

4. There are places like Recife in Brazil, where solar noon varies between 11h03 and 11h33, but they still have more than 12 hours of sunlight most of year, and never less than 11:45, so they hardly care.

5. The vast, vast majority of the world would rather have the solar noon after 12h00 -- meaning, more light in the evening than in the early morning. Santiago de Compostella has solar noon at 13h17 at the earliest and 14h40 at the latest, "relocating" around two hours.

6. The bluest city in the USA is probably Boston, and during standard time their solar noon is 11h30-11h59. During DST, it's 12h40-12h50.

I'm talking about the rows in the new K and V matrices introduced by the paper, not rows in the input sequence. The ordering of rows in the new K and V matrices does matter in the sense that rows that appear further down were added later in the training process to add new parameter tokens during scaling. So those newer parameters may represent knowledge that is less fundamental and more about fine tuning on the training set.
This is a great idea. Being able to dynamically scale up model sizes as datasets and use cases expand without needing to retrain from scratch could enable a Cambrian explosion of interesting stuff building on top of a Llama type model trained in this way.

This is not new. In 1997, William Ecenbarger, a Pulitzer-winning journalist, investigated the dental industry, going to fifty dentists in twenty-eight states, and found that most of them strongly recommended unnecessary work. In any other field it would have been a come-to-Jesus moment, prompting total reform, but the industry escaped with a mountain of PR and no change. That was nearly thirty years ago. Since then, median gross dentists' billings have increased significantly. Support for evidence-based, low-intervention dentistry is practically nonexistent in the US.

This all sounds like crackpot territory, but it is well supported by the evidence. Cochrane reviews have long been considered the gold standard in medicine for determining the efficacy of various interventions. When evaluated by Cochrane reviews, no other field fares so poorly as dentistry; nowhere else will you see such a parade of "insufficient evidence".
Interesting! Do you think a credits-based pricing would be more fair? Only pay for it when you use it? Maybe pay per click? Maybe like how cloud providers charge based on how long you have it open?

Yes. In the US we seem to be trained that every medical professional is 100% truthful and knowledgeable. That is just simply NOT the case. Without going into the details, I had a fully-trained dermatologist with a PHD diagnose a sudden and severe skin condition. It turns out they got it so wrong it was hilarious. With no actual evidence or lab tests, he diagnosed it as something that was both very unlikely (borderline impossible) and mildly embarrassing, and provided several prescriptions.

After a few weeks, the prescriptions weren't helping at all and it wasn't until I got off my butt and started doing my own research that I found out it was something extremely common and obvious once you knew what to look for. I hemmed and hawed for several weeks over whether to email a reprimand to that Doctor's manager, but ultimately decided it wouldn't do any good.

ALWAYS get a second opinion when you are unsure, when the cure is expensive, or if it is (or could be) life-threatening. And for the love of Dog, do your own research. You need at least enough knowledge around the thing you are dealing with to be able to talk about it with your doctor intelligently, and be ready to challenge anything you are skeptical about. At the end of the day, NO doctor is going to care as much about the health of either your body or your pocketbook as much as you do.
I use Sublime Text for that. I usually use it to paste something that I want to run but modify it (i.e docker-compose.yml) and I use it to write notes during my work and store in its buffers my session thinking. When I'm done or want to leave for a long time (I move these to obsidian). Also for quick edits I like being able to use build-in terminal command `subl` (i.e adding something to ~/.bashrc ). It is available for Windows, Mac and Linux. It is the fastest program to open on all machines I tried before. I don't have a license but I think I should get one (they are generous about that and I silence myself by saying I'm poor academic researcher).
Yes, I saw that writeup linked to in the discussion earlier. I'm no naval architect, but I'd imagine for such a big boat an AVS of 90 degrees sounds reasonable. But a downflooding angle of only 40-45 degrees, that's just bonkers.

I am going on a bit of a tangent here, but I always wondered, are those of you who use absolutely huge event-driven architectures, have you ever got yourself into a loop? I can't help but worry about such, as event systems are fundamentally Turing-complete, and with a complex enough system it doesn't seem too hard to accidentally send an event because A, which will eventually, multiple other events later again cases A.

Is it a common occurence' and if it happens is it hard to debug/fix? Does Kafka and other popular event systems have something to defend against it?

Yeah lit and angular have very different approaches. I was thinking along the lines of @angular/elements [0] which is closer to a "lift and ship". It is a very heavy solution to building web components (especially compared to lit code golf), especially if you are going to pair it with Blazor wasm, but if you are already using Angular in a large enough application and looking toward the path to Blazor wasm, you probably are in a bandwidth situation where you can afford the transitional steps.

> Yes, it's neat that you can still compile and run ancient Win32 programs on modern Windows, but maintaining all of that compatibility is a burden Microsoft was able to bear. The open source community is still struggling to try to provide a compelling desktop experience without this burden.

I always find it interesting how people talk about this as if Microsoft is just flipping a button rather than spending many millions of dollars on engineers to maintain compatibility. I’m reminded of the systemd arguments where the number of people who are vehement about the old ways being better just never seem to have time to show up to support them. This kind of stuff is expensive and the way to influence the decisions is to show up and chip in.
