Not sure why, it's taught and commonly considered to be an ability you're born with rather than something you can develop yourself later on.

> However, no adult has ever been documented to have acquired absolute listening ability, because all adults who have been formally tested after AP training have failed to demonstrate "an unqualified level of accuracy... comparable to that of AP possessors".

The Wiki article also describes just prior to this cited section that there have been countless attempts at it over the centuries.

Doesn't exactly sound like a learnable skill to me.
Interesting approach, although I'm wondering why they didn't just use a double-ended queue instead of a linked list.

Also, I get the urge to name the algorithm after yourself, since Timsort is named after its creator as well, but if you call you data structure "rainbow" then my first association would be the rainbow flag, since flag-sorts also have a tradition in sorting algorithm names.

We're definitely going to get >200dpi oleds before they ever fix sub pixel font rendering.
the typical "industrial" version of powerline is IEEE 1901, which for example is used by some electrical utilities for SCADA and by some smart meters. The difference can be somewhat academic as many modern powerline protocols are members of the same "family," and IEEE 1901 has two different PHYs that are basically adoptions of HomePlug and HD-PLC (another powerline protocol that I didn't mention because it never really went anywhere with consumers). Some HomePlug devices are certified as interoperable with the HomePlug-derived flavor of IEEE 1901, so sometimes they're literally the same thing.

IEEE 1901 is only specified for 500Mbps though. The more industrial use-cases are rarely high-bandwidth and that market is often pretty satisfied with even Kbps performance, they're just sending Modbus and that sort of thing. IEEE 1901 equipment is also going to be quite a bit more expensive to obtain since the market is small and mostly works on large contracts.

I agree with others that point-to-point wireless is probably your best bet. It can be similarly priced to HomePlug AV2 transceivers and, sort of ironically, will probably turn out to be more reliable. HomePlug tends to have trouble when there are neutral bonds because that adds "side legs" to the bus that harbor reflections. That's why people tell you that, as a rule of thumb, your transceivers need to be on the same circuit for good performance. It's a particularly bad with an outbuilding scenario because you've probably got two panels with two neutral buses, adding two different sets of reflections. Hard for the modulation scheme to contend with. I've personally run HomePlug AV1 from a house to a pump shed with a subpanel and got ~15Mbps performance with near-total dropout when the pump was running. ymmv depending on the wiring.

You might also consider direct-burial Ethernet, which is not very expensive. However, you'll get into some complexities with bonding and lightning protection and you might need to study the code book a bit. Some people will insist that one must never connect separate buildings with metallic communications conductors, but I would remind them that until about the 1980s that was the only way to do it, and techniques and equipment to do it safely have been developed. You just have to, you know, learn and use them.

I'm very confused about what you are asking, exactly. In your first post, you ask for "a supported version of LibreOffice that I can pay for", when it's pointed out to you that you can, it's not actually LibreOffice that you want to pay for, because you insinuate it's not maintained and supported?

Even though the paid offer includes technical support and a simple git log shows 50 commits in the past 24 hours in the core repository?
"So the lesson here is to suck, lie, and be a mean person and you still walk away with cash."

Only a person who themselves exhibits those qualities or someone cynical to the point of foolishness would conclude that is the lesson. Nothing indicates that walking away with cash cannot be achieved without sucking, lying and being mean.

The lesson is that a person who does what Holmes did may get caught and may suffer consequences. She has two young kids. She sits in prison as they grow up.

Regarding Opportunity Cost...

For a long time, I felt stupid for getting my PhD during the buildup before the 08 bubble. I could have socked away a lot more money than my measly stipend. And afterwards, I always had decent jobs but not SV style salaries. That made me feel like it was all a bad decision.

But now that I'm approaching my 50s, I feel a bit differently. I traded variability for steady consistent growth. When SV lays of 80% of the work force and a bunch of people lose their jobs and their fancy SV salaries go to 0, I've luckily (knock on wood) never had that experience.

I bet in the long run a person making SV salary right out of college and invests smartly will still out perform economically than a steady growth after a delay for the PhD. But mentally the lack of variability has been good for me. YMMV.

I gave a hundred searches to some normies I know and they told me that they save them to use when Google can't find what they want because Kagi works better (!) so they hoard the searches as backups to Google.

So the timing is just coincidence?
so, I had ChatGPT give me a quick run through, after feeding it the JesseSort python file, here's how it understood the algorithm in simple terms:

1. It starts with two elements and places them in order.
2. Each new element is inserted into the correct position within the growing "rainbow" of sorted bands.
3. By the time all elements are inserted, the list consists of multiple sorted bands that are then merged.

Was it wrong?

Their suggestion is that when using Privacy Pass you'd also send "&config=XX" where XX is an ID of a publicly shared config, so that you get the customisation of whatever config you choose without tying the config to yourself, just tying it to the searches you're doing with Privacy Pass.

So while it does add a data point that could help track you, it's not defeating the whole point.
The only thing to worry about is if you use the existing process where you buy a book from the Amazon store, download it locally to your computer, then copy the Amazon DRM'd ebook from your computer to your Kindle by USB. The step to download the book from the Kindle store to your computer will be going away, Kindle books from the Kindle store will have to be directly delivered to Kindle devices through either WiFi or cellular.

Being able to generally copy books to your Kindle by USB will not be going away. Books on your Kindle will not be going away, other than the historical reasons why Amazon pulls ebooks from people's devices (but that's not changing at all here). If you have a collection of DRM-free ebooks you can continue to use those and side load those by USB.

Solar panels use energy to create, and have a finite lifespan. If energy is generated but not used, it makes the average lifetime efficiency decrease. This does result in wasted energy.
His particular opinion doesn't matter if the rest of the old guard only wants C in the kernel.

A lot of pain and drama could of been prevented if he put his foot down and said only C code is allowed. Instead he left it ambiguous, and a lot of good meaning people have been damaged by this. I know I'd be upset if I had been a part of the Rust for Linux team, and when I actually wanted to get my code in I was told my contributions weren't welcomed.

I wouldn't want to mix and match languages in a project that's so vital to really the entire world. It just seems like a good way for a funky rust bug to cause billions in issues...
Actually a somewhat decently known way of avoiding tax on real estate transfers within the family in Japan is to move abroad, gift it, and then move back. The other way is gift it as a wedding gift, as wedding gifts (and others made out of customary social obligations) are not taxable over there.
The far left proves over and over again that they don't turn out to vote or have too many conflicting litmus tests.

If the just move more left strat worked, I would expect to see an AOC style candidate in at least one red state. But the truth is that style of politics isn't popular outside of a few very blue districts.

Dan Osborn gave of a glimpse of what a left populist campaign in a red state might look like but he still lost. And half of his positions would get you cancelled by the AOCs of the world. The reality is a 2012 Obama platform is about as far left as you can go and hope to win a nationwide general election in the current US political climate.

If account settings are not possible because you could fingerprint users, then client-side filtering or reordering might be a solution.

Safe-search or not, just transfer both result lists and make the client only show the one you want. The same could be done with languages, where you at least get the results for the bigger ones. Blacklists would hide your blocked crap sites. It may even be possible to implement the ranking adjustments to some extend.

Client-side filtering would put more load on the server and search sources, but I hope the cost increase is tolerable. Blacklisting and reordering could be virtually free. This could make Privacy Pass available to many more users who don't have overly complex account rules.

My complaint on this feature is mostly that the only supported proper ebook format is now epub, and I frequently run into the E999 error. Sometimes I can workaround it by converting the epub to mobi and back, but sometimes it just keeps failing which is frustrating.

You can't run a grid with maxed out cheap renewables. It's like having a society where the police and prisons staff closes shop and goes home when the sun sets and still expect law and order to persist.

The other grid operators have to lower their production during the day. That itself can be expensive, but more importantly they run their same equipment to power fewer hours of the day; when solar is not available, which is expensive since they have significant fixed costs. Batteries are not a grid scale solution any time soon, but maybe one day.

yeah. because positional notation is a general mathematical concept, and it's only in practical application that its power is realized. binary is the most efficient base for computation with the technology we have at hand. positional notation exists for any/every base, but binary is the foundation optimization in practice.

if I were to argue it, that is. In reality they're all really important and it's not like there's a twisted math genie that's forcing us to choose one or the other. I felt like pointing out that chosing base two is also a very important, fundamental optimization decision because it's lead us to the world we have today.
Do you know the mechanism behind this?
This thread is "completely unrelated to this blog post" and your previous comment was responding to comments about the US ACH network.
The current state of HomePlug is weird, the organization behind it dissolved in 2016 and basically dumped the spec on the table (they made it public domain). Since it's closely related to IEEE 1901 it doesn't seem likely that HomePlug will ever "go away," but it's also not going to get better. So I think it's definitely fair to say that G.hn is the replacement, in that it's more actively developed, but HomePlug devices remain plentiful on the market. IME HomePlug devices are more commonly sold in the US than G.hn powerline devices, but I get the impression that things are different in Europe.

> The actual percentages are probably somewhat lower, but Rust undoubtedly has the highest concentration of any programming-language community. Zero question.

This is complete nonsense. We (LGBT) folk are pretty much equally represented in all programming communities. It's just that Rust presents as a very socially activist community, with all the attendant drama and culture war nonsense, including falsely claiming some sort of imprimatur from the LGBT folk to represent them. Cliquey hyper-online gays != the LGBT community.

Fortran, Erlang/OTP, any stack you can think of, will have LGBT devs. Common Lisp has some kickass trans devs. It's not a proliferation of rainbow flag emojis and obnoxious puerile cancel-culture politics that makes one community be 'more' LGBT than another. I won't stand for this kind of erasure of LGBT folk who don't take their assigned place in the culture war barricades.

Rust is a very neat language, but the biggest single barrier to its adoption is the Rust community, and I won't have them hijacking my identity to pretend some moral title to their constant - and deeply unpopular - online brigading, bullying, etc.
It also dismisses the effect it has on society entirely. In a sane world, we would enable anyone who wants to pursue a PhD in hopes in advancing things like medical science or our understanding of the world. The fact that people really can only care about the economic value education can bring, and the fact we all act like that's normal, is very radicalizing to me.

It was an infrastructure investment with the idea that it returns an expected amount of energy over an expected life and an assumption that that energy has a value that makes it pay for itself in X years.. If its not worth using a lot of that energy that's a first slide.. A much further slide is when the energy to produce it is never paid back in what it produces, which can be considered true for the enormously over provisioned.

This is what I'm describing: knowing a song well enough that you can 'hear' it in your head, and use that to accurately identify and re-create a note from it. This is a few more steps than being able to simply 'know' a note upon hearing it but nonetheless can demonstrate the capacity to do so for those who haven't specifically practiced it.
