I've been wanting to watch the William Friedkin movie To Live And Die in LA starring Willem Defoe and William Peterson from 1985 but it hasn't been on any steamers for rent or to buy. It's so frustrating that such big mainstream movies can be unavailable.
With due respect, I think you've misunderstood the single-table design pattern.

Because you've introduced static hash keys ("user", "email", etc) you've had to manually partition which DDB should do for you automatically. And while you covered the partition size limit you're also likely to have write performance issues because you're not distributing writes to the "user" and "email" hash keys.

Single-table design should distribute writes and minimize roundtrips to the database. user#12345 as a hash key and range keys of 'User', 'Email#jo@email.com', 'Email#joe@email.com', etc achieve those goals. If you need to query and/or sort on a large number of attributes it's going to be easier, faster, and probably cheaper to stream data into Elasticsearch or similar to support those queries.

At a former job, we reverse engineered the trading APIs of most American retail stock brokerages (Fidelity, E-Trade, Robinhood, TD Ameritrade, etc). We did it by rooting an iPhone and using Charles Proxy to grab the unencrypted traffic.

I learned a lot from that experience, and it's also just plain fun to do. We did get some strongly worded letters from Robinhood though, lol. They tried blocking our servers but we just set up this automated system in Digital Ocean that would spin up a new droplet each time we detected a blockage, and they were never able to stop us after that.

Fun times.
>In that case, you're not really betting on who you think will win. You're just betting as a hedge just in case that person wins.

A natural upgrade of this chart:

1. Analyze titles only to get a sense of what narrative is being pushed. Titles are usually made of screaming hot-words to grab attention.

2. Draw each word as a colored circle on a 2D plane, using some word2vec model. This is going to capture changes in meaning. For example, we would see how the word "safety" migrates from one neighborhood to another.

3. Show an animation how the usage of hot-words changes with time, from 80s to today. This will show how the narrative changes.

Edit: another upgrade would be to do the same, but for newspapers of the opposite camp. This would show two evolving clouds of hot-words: a red cloud and a blue cloud. It's not obvious how the two evolve: whether they stay away from each other, or interact. My hypothesis is that they keep a good distance from each other to keep their readers in separate bubbles. This is necessary because the readers give energy of their attention to the clouds, and a rational self-serving tactic is to fence off their faithful readers.

Convenience and accessibility is a huge factor, moreso than price IMO. When you're paying a company for access for their streaming service and you still can't find the particular show you want (that they produce) then why not pirate it.
Ha, that's a good point. We were broke kids in a rural town without drivers licenses a hundred miles from anywhere that sold physical VHS or DVDs. We didn't have money, and if we did we didn't have the means to get to a store, and if we did it was far far away, and if we could I don't think most of us had DVD players at home. The phone bill, on the other hand - parents pay for that. ;-) IIRC, our dial-up ISP was a "local call", which was free then. I'm pretty sure my friend capitalized on the phone line during night times when the house was asleep.

evaporation done with hot wind has two effects working in opposite directions. The evaporation is a cooling effect, but the hot wind is a heating effect. So if the hot wind is moving too fast or is too hot, it's effects will be larger than the effects of any evaporation, resulting in heating rather than cooling, due to increased airflow, or too high a temp.

Well, calling it the same area is a bit of a stretch by the BBC, 2-4 km distance here in Vienna is quite a lot and more like the other side of the city, definitly different districts. "Lived in the same city" is probably more accurate.

Yes, it is addressed to the citizens of Lebanon... why would you think this is a necessary detail to clarify?

It is a threat, alright, but it's only realistic to say that if Hezballah is where it is, then these citizens of Lebanon are held hostages by Hezballah, so they shouldn't have any illusions about what is going to happen.

But no, it's not Israel who is going to kill them. It's Hezballah. Metaphorically, Israel is the train coming to the platform, while Hezballah is the guy who pushes the other guy on the tracks as the train approaches. Citizens of Lebanon being killed in this way have to thank Hezballa for their fate. This is the point of the message.

In the trolley problem, the IDF chose to direct the trolley towards the Lebanese citizens in order to spare the Israeli citizens, and this is what it's telling them. Hezballa is the guys pushing the trolley.

> Imagine what outcry there would be if Iran

Iran are scumbags who say plenty of much worse stuff on regular basis. Nobody would notice this particular statement because that'd be just Tuesday by Iranian standards. There'd be no outcry because people get used to the way things are, even if things are bad.
I think it depends on the person. I am a huge music fan, and am very particular about my music. There are some remastered versions that I strongly dislike (and some that I prefer). I find it to be near impossible to know what version I am going to get on a streaming service. The original and the remaster may be from different labels, which means when streaming services renegotiate, you may suddenly end up with a different version in your playlist.

For movies, I _probably_ don't care if I get the theatrical cut, extended cut, un-rated version and so on (unless we are talking about the Abyss), so I sort of see your point.

But for me, that is why I curate my own music collection locally and run navidrome to stream.
I’ve never flown an F35. From what I understand they’re basically rockets that “fly” because of software that makes micro corrections several times per second.

Maybe if the screens are out the pilot couldn’t rely on that?
Yes, as the old saying goes “better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6.”

The decision to relieve him was made with the benefit of having much more data and time to make a decision available to them than the pilot had.

Lossy is fine in some cases, but in many cases you do actually need the specific text you're trying to store - not just something similar to it. Hence my objection to "never any reason to use these characters literally".

> Your contrived example [...] if someone really wanted to store those two literal non-visible characters in a text file

Needing to store these specific characters is rare, but needing to store arbitrary text (possibly from adversarial/mischievous parties, or just a large enough dataset that encountering all edge-cases is inevitable) is common. For instance, for security reasons a log shouldn't break or have a blindspot for folders with those characters.

> as long as you’re ok with those characters not being valid data it works fine

Which is what I'm saying in my original comment with "or alternatively, a restriction for the stored text not to have them"

IBM had cafeterias, but they were not free, and they served standard "cafeteria food" that you might find at a hospital or school of the era. When I was at IBM in the early 2000's, the vast majority of people either brought lunch from home or went out (despite there being nothing within walking distance -- you had to drive 5 or 10 minutes to the nearest options).

As far as I know, Google was one of the first to offer food that was tasty enough, healthy enough, and cheap enough (free!) that nearly everyone ate at the company cafes on a daily basis.
I miss those days too, but my recollection of Youtube is a little different. Lots of piracy for example.

That's not what the report is alleged to have said. This news story alleges that he executed proper emergency procedures, but for the WRONG emergency. It alleges he ejected per the procedure for out-of-control flight when what he actually (allegedly) had was partial electrical failure with operable standby instruments. Which is not a situation mandating immediate ejection.
I think you answered your own question by admitting that you no longer used the device recklessly after that event. Clearly money was not the factor in helping you learn the lesson.

Our bodies have a built-in mechanism to discourage recklessness, which is pain. That is the cost of recklessness, and all adding financial costs does is make people who genuinely do need medical attention think twice about getting it.
I believe the author's point is that twisting definitions to mean something the majority do not expect, hurts credibility. In other words, adopting unusual meaning of words like "subsidy means they are not imposing a carbon tax" makes people less trusting of you.

Let's do the math.

An adult human at rest breathes about 500mL air per breath, at about 12 breaths per minute. The inhaled air is about 21% O2, and the exhaled air is about 16% O2.

The density of air is 1.225 kg/m3, which is 1.225 g/liter. So 5% of a half-liter breath is, ballpark, 0.03 grams oxygen per breath, which at one breath per five seconds is 0.006 grams oxygen per second.

Dissolved oxygen in ocean water is about 0.008 g/liter. Fish are very efficient at extracting this, up to 80%. Squids and octopi are much less efficient, with octopi hanging out more in the 40% range, and squids much lower.

So this means that for every liter of water processed, an example octopus receives 0.003 grams oxygen, and if such an octopus were able to process two liters of water per second across their gills, they would receive as much O2 as a human.

This is not such an incredibly high number that it rules out cephalopod intelligence, especially when considering size differences.

I had some meetings with HR before the rating came out. They didn't really address this lack of previously agreed to accommodations. Now I've reached out for further clarity since the rating came down and they have been radio silent for a week or two. As for how reasonable the ask was, it was just to have additonal coaching, like a 1-on-1 every week instead of every two weeks so I can get more pertinent feedback to make any changes. For 5-6 months, I wasn't even given the normal level of coaching eith fewer than one meeting per month. I've been documenting everything for a while now. I don't want to go the lawyer route, but I feel like I have too.
Indeed! I just came back to post the exact same adjective after purchasing one as a Christmas gift for my teenage son.

Sure, but I think the point is that if you aren't in possession of a copy of the recording, then you will be affected by these changes whether you like it or not. If you are in possession of a copy, that copy will never be so affected.
> VMX-1 is in charge of assessing the Corps’ aircraft and helping develop and refine tactics, techniques and procedures to fly them in combat successfully.

He was the commander. He defines those procedures.
Usually the opinion is based in metrics and data. This one is not.
That really, really depends on what conditions you are flying under. This is not a naturally stable aircraft flown at relatively low speeds far away from any obstacle, and it is not being flown from a couch with a gamepad.

Even if he fucked up severely and needlessly burned an insanely expensive asset at the cost of tax payers, that’s a fuckup from an individual actually qualified for and skilled at flying the thing, unlike everyone at this site.

The whole lot of us would probably have the plane go up in flames before we even got into it.

FTA: VMX-1 is in charge of assessing the Corps’ aircraft and helping develop and refine tactics, techniques and procedures to fly them in combat successfully.

He was the commander of VMX-1. They effectively write the book.

"And the pilot should've figured that out?"

Yes. That's the job.
100% pure speculation:

I'm trying to read between the lines one this one. He's a Colonel and in command. How much flying does he do normally? Is he just keeping up flying to get the flight pay? Just up there flying because he can? Or was this a regularly scheduled training mission?

This wouldn't be the first case of someone flying beyond their actual role. They are never found at fault -- their career is just derailed.
This feels political face saving considering it was the third class A mishaps the Marines had in 6 weeks, the other two being fatal.

The parameters of the matrix multiply, such as the size of the matrices, impose some limits to how close you can get to the peak theoretical performance in a particular GPU. Not all possible matrix multiplies are equally valuable to optimize a priori, so the hardware is designed to perform best on problems that are financially significant, such as modern LLMs.

As for handcoded assembly, do you believe that it would be financially sound to hand code and maintain thousands of kernels that way, even if you believed that they would be faster?

Funny, that's precisely why I much prefer Linux over MacOS and Windows—I don't have time to fiddle with stuff all day long. On MacOS and Windows, to get any software, I have to:

1. search around the web to find a good program for a given task, crossing my fingers that it's not going to be malware

2. track down the download link for the software, then download the package

3. unzip the installer, open it, then click "yes I'm aware that this is a program downloaded from the Internet and I accept all the risks," thereby making me feel a little nervous about the whole transaction

4. choose the install location, install type, and so on, click "next," "next," "next," then scroll through a seemingly endless legal agreement by which I legally agree to god-knows-what

5. use the program, but inevitably endure an onslaught of annoyances from it: pop-ups that push me to buy the premium version, pop-ups that tell me to download and install an update for the program (for which I need to go through steps 1-4 all over again); the list goes on and on

And to make matters worse, each program asks me individually to update it, meaning that if I'm using 10 programs, I have to handle 10 separate update requests, with no way to batch them all.

In contrast, how do you install a program on Linux? `apt install some-program` or equivalent. How you upgrade all your software at once? `apt upgrade`. That's it. I don't have this epub problem you have—I just use Foliate. And PDF readers are aplenty, too. If you use GNOME or KDE, most of that is already installed for you. At most, it's one or two clicks away, in GNOME Software, for example.

This is not a prop plane. It's a heavy jet which should be almost stalling to land safely.
