> What NAS, exactly?

A small low power x86 Windows box. Used to be an older gaming PC, swapped for a lower power CPU with integrated graphics. Runs storage for an array, VMs, containers, video transcoding, etc.

Non-Windows clients can also log in with local accounts or with that same MicrosoftAccount realm login username/password. I've used some Pi's and other Linux boxes mounted that way in the past.

But it seems like it's decently well supported in Samba to auth like this though. I'm not sure what happens when their Microsoft account password changes though.

> Getting access to what?

Getting access to the LDAP server to handle auth. If I hop on my friend's spare computer at his house, how is it going to reach out to my LDAP server at home?

Same thing when I'm hopping on my dad's computer, or if he wants to use mine when he's visiting. This way we can just use our own logins and have access to our own files, resources, settings, etc. Regardless of whatever computer we're using. If I want him to copy his recent trip photos to the archive when.he comes over he can drag and drop them into the network share on the NAS with his own credentials on his own computer, as I've granted his Microsoft account access to write to the family photos. He doesn't need to remember his password to my NAS, his desktop login is his auth. Same when I'm at a friend's house and on his computer. I just want to pull some big file off my laptop over the network, I can just open up my shares on my laptop and grab whatever. I don't need a separate login to manage.

There's so much stuff that's just so smooth and seamless using an external, managed, widely shared IdP to handle identity management. Some negatives and risks, no doubt. But to me, it's a worthwhile trade off given how easy it makes these kinds of workflows I encounter daily.

I refuse to believe that not answering every single email within an hour is a good predictor of anything other than being glued to your phone. I think extending it to a reasonable amount of time, maybe a business day max, works out pretty well. Sometimes people respond really fast because they’re taking regular breaks and other times they don’t respond all evening because they’re putting on their kid’s birthday party. Even at work, sometimes very good colleagues are doing things back-to-back for hours and using short windows to do things like go to the bathroom.

On the other hand maybe this is some art thing I’m too far away from to understand? Maybe really good artists to work with never need more than twenty minutes of deep focus at a time for anything?
What was wrong was the singular form of the word "gene". That means "The Gene", and that's wrong. Richard Dawkins talks about this in his Selfish Gene book. People often say "the gene for this" or "the gene for that" and it's not how things work.

But the word "behind" also does imply causation rather than correlation, which is also wrong.
Of course it was a lab leak! can’t wait to have the China usa deep state discussions on it declassified in 50 years.

Set up an eBay saved search, they are the most common of the MCA RS/6000s to show up. Price target $150-200. If that doesn't work out in a reasonable timeframe (say 1 year) contact me.. otherwise better to rescue from the market than other collectors, dollar for dollar, to keep more machines out of the landfill.

There is a 220, which have the interesting RSC chip (good for AIX 3.2.5, probably not a good target for anything else including NetBSD due to specialized CPU support that would be necessary):
https://www.ebay.com/itm/335464230008

You'd want a [250,25T,25W] (66 or 80mhz, hard to determine which without seeing the planar) for NetBSD or AIX up to 4.3.3 (5.1 will run but is a little heavy for the hardware).

There is a now rare 7248, this is a second gen prep system that is special because it can boot Solaris, OS/2, NT, AIX, NetBSD. It looks similar to the more ubiquitous 7043-140 which is also a good machine but can't do all those OSes. Price is close to reasonable for what it is:

OTOH the OS can very much get in the way. If you're using ROS for instance, it's easy to fall into apt package dependency hell - upgrading CUDA means upgrading the OS, which means upgrading ROS, which means upgrading all deps including OpenCV, etc, etc, etc.

> 3% is the cost of doing business.

Yes, it's a cost you pay at some places to do business with them using your credit card.
It depends on the chain. Aldi's, Trader Joe's exclusively use white label brands, so they have complete control of their suppliers. Walmart and Costco are big enough to have their own logistics.

But for most other supermarket chains, it's the suppliers that dictate the price. The stores essentially lease out their shelves directly to the distributors or manufacturers.
Mac OS 9 really had a 'personal' feel to it and part of that was thanks to Kaleidoscope. Many authors also designed accompanying icon sets, to complete the look.

Japanese authors were responsible for my favorite schemes/icon sets.

Same developer would go on to make Konfabulator for Mac OS X, a desktop widgets application which Apple directly aped for their Dashboard widgets and Yahoo eventually acquired.
Firewalls exist, many network environments block everything not explicitly allowed.

Authentication is only part of the problem, networks are firewalled (with dedicated appliances) and segmented to prevent lateral movement in the event of a compromise
Sadly, it might not be so much of a mismatch in this case, since they don't want any AI to be careful and scrupulous and correct... It just needs to rubber-stamp the actions they wanted to take anyway.

Either way, history shows this is dangerous stuff for any country to play around with: The Nazis had an earlier "solution" deporting their victims outside German borders.

I thought the main draw of OCaml is that it has imperative features such as for-loops, instead of trying to be purely functional like Haskell. This probably made OCaml easier to pick up for people coming from other programming languages.
But the planning change to add a new wing to the building? That can’t be made smaller. What about if a new regulation is put in effect requiring every fire door to have a corresponding fire window next to it? That’s either 3000 little changes that need reviewing or one big change. One big change is often the correct choice. Knowing when it’s appropriate and when it’s not is the job of the engineer, the team, and the lead.
Somewhat tangential, but this bit caught my eye:

> But on Monday, that motion was denied. McCormick said that although the package was once again ratified by a majority of shareholders, that didn’t mean Musk’s record-breaking payday was in shareholders’ best interests.

I'm not sure this is a particularly great description of the decision on the part of the linked article since I don't think that part of the decision rested at all on whether the compensation package was "in shareholders' best interests. From the decision [0],

> There are at least four fatal flaws [with the ratification argument]. First, the defendants have no procedural ground for flipping the outcome of an adverse post-trial decision based on evidence they created after trial. Second, common-law ratification is an affirmative defense that must be timely raised, which means that, at a minimum, it cannot be raised for the first time after the post-trial opinion. Third, what the defendants call “common law ratification” has no basis in the common law—a stockholder vote standing alone cannot ratify a conflicted-controller transaction. Fourth, even if a stockholder vote could have a ratifying effect, it could not do so here due to multiple, material misstatements in the proxy statement. Each of these defects standing alone defeats the motion to revise.

There was a lot of to the contrary pressure at the time here. Many have burned a lot of karma being shouted down by everyone else, and a bunch of people here would likely handwave it all as being political anyway. Really nothing much left to say on the topic. Both sides have settled on their preferred viewpoint, and everyone is more or less likely uncomfortably shifting trying to just get on with living with the specter of geopolitics on the wind.

No one is going to be held accountable for anything. The doer's of the deed are all outside of the U.S. capabilities to do anything about, and even if not, China is not going to fold to any assertion of being at fault. The methods are known and will continue being used. We don't have much of anything to show for it but a bunch of virologists still convinced the approach hasn't really been tried, and we just need to dork with one more for that next vaccine breakthrough.

The meaning of perfect pitch is unambiguous. When a note is played someone with perfect pitch can identify that pitch (Ab, F, C#, etc) without a reference. Also known as absolute pitch.

If someone has relative pitch it means that they need to hear a reference pitch before they can identify the played pitch based on the interval between the two.

Perfect pitch may seem like a party trick for a casual musician, but if you're a dedicated musician the skill is an asset that allows you to execute a whole lot quicker. Occasionally it can be a curse, because you're more sensitive to out-of-tune notes.
Artists are like engineers. The types of decisions the two groups make are wildly different, but each group makes decisions for a living and focuses the rest of their time on craftsmanship.

No offense but this doesn't seem "revolutionary" at all / people have been doing hierarchical representations and multipole expansions since forever. The presentation of a single fixed-resolution bitmap of dense equations with no introduction of terms feels like it's trying to do proof by intimidation.

When doing path guiding in Monte Carlo path tracing you often have lots of nasty low probability / high contribution paths that make gravitational simulation seem easy. After all, if you can a-priori simulate light paths efficiently, then you can efficiently solve optical computers / the Halting Problem.

That didn't bother me so much because i speak spanish and can read french. OCaml is of french origin. `string_of_int` is a bad english translation—should have been `string_from_int`.

I like F# where I can use the `int` or `string` functions:

I'm having a bit of a hard time imagining what kind of payment Google could make under this structure. Do you have something in mind?

I agree that if Google was paying a browser for something other than default search placement, that would likely fall outside the scope of the proposal. But historically, default placement = traffic, and is also the only leverage the browsers have - ie if Google wasn't the default, Google would only get users who explicitly selected it, and if Google knows all of their users are actively selecting them already, they have no reason to pay extra for that traffic.

API access seems like a good alternative way for Google to monetize, but it doesn't solve the problem of providing funding for browsers (except in your case, since you're combining a search engine and browser in one company). Or am I missing something?

I've been programming for nearly two decades and have a lot of experience in various technologies. Lately I've been learning game development in Elixir - a very weird task. I think that's where my value is, though. I love working on weird, unknown projects. Basically everyone I talked to in the Elixir community about game development said it was a waste of time, but I've been showing that it's not only possible, it's quite nice! I'm always looking for interesting and challenging problems. My wide range of experience (both with and without computers) helps me figure out tasks that don't have prior art. I'm very capable when it comes to R&D type projects. Honestly, if you just need someone to churn out CRUD apps, you probably don't want to hire me. But if you have some weird ideas that you don't have someone on your team to figure out, I'm your man.
> By the end of the experiment, six of the eight pigeons developed nonsensical "superstitions" to get food

Almost every human will do this for something IRL. As semi-irrational creatures, we tend to forcibly seek out patterns where there are none.

Some people become so encrusted with such behaviour that it legitimately impacts their ability to operate effectively in modern society.

Not surprisingly, the religiously-afflicted tend to pack the upper end of this spectrum.
Turned me off as well. I bought part one. And then I realized it was very short. And then I saw the prices for the rest of the series. I might read it if it was bundled up and heavily discounted (like 70-80%). But this is just too much for way too little.
i did take some issue with the way that point was phrased as well.

but, i took it a little more broadly than it was actually specified: people who are not great about communicating or make it hard for you to work with them at the outset will probably continue to be like that throughout the entirety of your working relationship.

i watch some videos on the Tested youtube channel, where the host is Adam Savage, who was one of the hosts/creators of the MythBusters tv show, and he often talks about this point, and how he learned it working with Jamie Hyneman early on in his career where they would take clients, and Jamie explained this principal.
I geniunely and strongly believe PaaS and BaaS do not have a sustainable business model for the long term. Most of the platforms are losing money for each user they onboard. No matter how "loved" a platform is they are not actually making money and some point they are going to "get you". All the new platforms are constantly raising money to compensate for the costs and nobody is actually engineering solutions to reduce cost but doing feature engineering that is actually increasing their cost per user.

If Heroku works for you, that is good. Ignore my comment.
That’s funny. I actually love Haskell syntax, it’s by far my favorite language to look at.
>This makes for an uncomfortable situation where I now have to ask the waiter or bartender if they receive this as a tip.

I don't even ask. If it looks like a tip and is computed like a tip, it is one. How the owners and workers hash out their payment structure is none of my business as a customer.
PyQL: SQL-like query language to run on Python source code files using GitQL SDK
The blog post is one of three published recently. It's from Terence Lee, an architect and former maintainer of Bundler (Ruby package manager). He co-founded the Cloud Native Buildpack project and was part of open sourcing the original Ruby buildpack. He gets pretty into the weeds with the tech.

The other article that's not been linked yet is this one https://blog.heroku.com/next-generation-heroku-platform. It's still not exactly what you're asking for "give me the application features" but it is a little less lingo heavy.

One thing kinda hidden in there:

> and AWS Graviton into the platform.

That means ARM support. Already the Heroku supported buildpacks work with both AMD (x86) and ARM (aarch64). Think mac Intel versus M(1/2/3/4) chips.

> From a customer (AKA Application Developer) perspective

I posted another comment earlier. Local debugging with CNBs is pretty neat. But I also agree, I see this still as an "investment" phase. This is the start of the work, that gets us more fun stuff later.

> How about improving your autoscaling options so the narrow response-time-based scaling is not the only option?

This is not my team, so I'm speaking not from first-hand experience. It's my understanding that Kubernetes has a pretty rich ecosystem for autoscaling. On our current platform, if someone wants to try out an autoscaler, it's a bespoke solution and difficult to try in the wild. Moving to a more standards based and community backed infrastructure means what's easy to do on Kubernetes, should also be easy for us to do on Heroku on the new platform.

I hear that you care about autoscaling options and I'll pass that along. Anything specific in that area?
Fair point. We will fix the language up

That might be true for academics. But most engineers don't consider ML syntax to be the cleanest, since most don't know any ML language.
Historically, those who controlled the media controlled the message. If you're the only one with a printing press, you control what people read. Same with radio. Same with TV.

But what happens when everyone can put their message in front of a lot of people? When the playing field is level? When everyone has a printing press, the ones with the best ideas are the ones people listen to. Influence can no longer be owned. It must be earned
