>"When dams are built, large areas are flooded and people need to be relocated," Láng-Ritter said in a press statement. "The relocated population is usually counted precisely because dam companies pay compensation to those affected."

Sure, "we've been systematically undercounting population for decades" is a more plausible explanation than "large infrastructure projects in rural areas of underdeveloped countries are a bonanza of corruption".

Potential similarities with Mitsuba's inverse rendering functionality?https://mitsuba.readthedocs.io/en/stable/src/inverse_renderi...
> a supported reserve force

my observation is that they were not reserve. They were patriotic citizens who voluntarily enlisted at the day of invasion. Gun ownership and hence training was much lower in Ukraine compared to US. And wiki says about the same: they were some semi-organized units before invasion, and during invasion 100k people volunteered and joined them, and they were absorbed by army.
You are right. I hadn’t taken a close look at that expression in chromium (it looks fine on Firefox). I think this may be a Chrome rendering issue. I know Temml does a lot more than me to make sure the expressions look right (my primary concern is that the MathML markup is correct) and even Temml has the same problem[1].

Aside, I love this expression that you landed on. The Gamma distribution is one of the reason I started writing this library 10 years ago. The way the original AsciiMath can’t have arbitrary identifiers (only texts) was a deal breaker for me. The Gamma distribution is a very nice showcase for capabilities of an authoring tool like this because the name is usually written using latin letters `Gamma` while its density function also includes the gamma function which is usually written with a greek capital gamma (Γ). In the original AsciiMath writing Gamma just gives you the greek letter. The gamma distribution is also just a very cool distribution, or rather it contains some very cool distributions (in particular the Chi-squared distribution).

so many l's and y's
My experience entails:

* Luigi -- extensive usage (4y+)

* Makefiles -- (15y+)

* GitHub Actions -- (4y+)

* Airflow -- little usage (<6 months)

* Dagster -- very little, just trying it out

* Prefect -- just followed tutorial

Although it lacks a lot of the monitoring and advanced web ui other platforms have (maybe because of it), Luigi is the simplest to reason about IMHO.

For a new project that will require complex orchestrations, I'd probably go with Dagster or Prefect nowadays. Dagster seems more complex and more powerful with its data lineage functionality, but I have very little experience with either tool.

If it's a simple project, a mix of Makefiles + GH Actions can work well.

Just a quick note from somebody who's been tinkering with RDP: RDP is so much more than remote desktop, and this ironrdp thing looks cool but is also severely limited.

xrdp supports forwarding audio (playback and microphone forwarding, both ways) as well as local folder forwarding. And I think i also got webcam working (webcam on my laptop forwarded to the browser running on the remote host).

for reference: https://www.xrdp.org/

I hope this implementation gets to a maturity level to make it actually usable for realistic remote desktop usage :)

Apple sold devices in the EU without paying the requisite local taxes by misrepresenting sales figures and lobbying for exemption through Irish law. They knew that their accounting was dishonest and continued with it anyways. Simply having to pay the taxes you owe isn't a trade war.

The FT article is much more clear about why exactly it is harmful:

https://archive.ph/gGC2C
That's dearly appreciated! Not the most common sentiment these days, for some reason. Stay safe out there! :)
Nothing in the word "first" indicates that it corresponds to "one". The same for "second". Those words are not numerals, "first" is a superlative adjective, while "second" is an active participle. They are perceived as ordinal numerals only because English does not have ordinal numerals for the 2 initial positions of a sequence and "first" and "second" are used instead of the missing ordinal numerals.

The abbreviations "1st" and "2nd" are very recent and they cannot be used as an argument that there is a long tradition of correspondence between "first" and "one".

Like I have said, the correct argument based on English is that the position after the second is called "third", which is derived from "three", and the next position is called "fourth" from "4", so extrapolating backwards that sequence results in decrementing "3", which gives a correspondence between "2" and "second", and decrementing the number once more gives a correspondence between "1" and "first".

This is the exact reasoning that has lead to the abbreviations "1st" and "2nd", which have no relationship with the pronunciation or the meaning of the abbreviated words, which mean "closest to the front" and "the following", meanings that are unrelated to any numbers.

This is laughably poor geography.

Both Gatwick [0] and Stansted are busier than either Washington airport [1], and if you're considering Miami as an alternative to Atlanta then why not similarly ridiculous options like Paris, Amsterdam, Dublin for passengers stuck in Heathrow?

Miami and DC aren't even close to the nearest major airport cities to Atlanta. Charlotte and Orlando are many hours closer and busier [1] in terms of commercial passengers (though still not as convenient as the UK's comparable airports).

Only about a quarter of Heathrow passengers are transiting [2] and a significant portion of those are citizens of the US, EU, UK and other countries who don't need a visa. Maybe 10% of passengers are stuck in limbo, not half of them.

A couple of other great kid/parent shows:

- Hilda on Netflix - more appropriate for 9+ year olds but my 5 year old loves it. Has some genuinely scary moments though especially the later seasons

- Avatar the Last Airbender - for older kids but has one of the best character arcs
Yeah Pixar does it a lot, and Bluey, and Peppa Pig a little. But it's really uncommon in kids TV shows. 99% of them are straight up dross just for kids with no accomodation for parents.

That's why Bluey is so popular. It's the only good TV program for adults that kids will also watch. (And I agree it's only super popular for adults, kids are way more into trash like Blippi.)
Since ~January of this year, international law doesn't mean anything anymore.

I'm not who the person you replied to is talking about, but I also didn't/don't use a mobile phone for a long time. Technically I had a mobile phone during this time, but it stayed powered off in my room. Now, I carry a mobile phone around but it doesn't exactly work (no network connectivity, not even Wi-Fi or USB tethering) so I don't actually use it except for testing.

I carry a laptop almost everywhere, and I even use JMP.chat for sending SMS messages, so it's functionally similar to a mobile phone, just bigger and heavier. It doesn't connect to the cell network but Wi-Fi works fine.

I think there's more to a mobile phone than SMS but I'm stuggling to think of what since I don't use it. I have GPS in my car, instead of using GPS in a mobile phone. I don't take pictures very often but when I really needed to I could use my laptop webcam (built-in or USB attached), and recently I bought a camera at a garage sale that seems higher-quality than the webcam and is much more convenient.

The ability to call 911 from anywhere is the main thing I think about that I'm missing, which is also one of the reasons I'd like to get a mobile phone working at some point, but it's difficult to gauge how important that is (since the need is rare). My friends might worry about this more than I do.

Before college, I did use a mobile phone (but mostly for gaming and taking pictures), and I am only recently out of college, so maybe I will feel more pressure to get a mobile phone in the future, and since I'm not opposed to getting one working at some point, I probably will. I just haven't gotten around to it yet.

I've never actually commented on Hacker News as far as I remember, but I'm the same JacobK as <https://codeberg.org/jacobk> and as jacobk on Libera.Chat. I'm not a bot.

Strong worker protections can help in all kinds of situations. Case in point, I have a friend in Switzerland. He burned out and had a panic attack at work. The reasons were plausibly personal, but work stress always takes its toll as well. Switzerland has very strong worker protections and with a doctor’s approval he was able to take 6 paid months off while he recovered from the burnout. That was years ago and he has been back to work productively ever since.

We recognize physical impairment such as a broken leg but seem to have very little sympathy for the mental and emotional wellbeing of others.

Pen and Paper Exercises in Machine Learning (2022)
It does, but modding the Quest version is notoriously more fussy than modding the PC version is, and the heft of the Quest can get annoying when playing custom maps (most of which are vastly more physically demanding than the stock maps).
It’s the same in (mathematical) physics: I routinely say something like “let’s look very far away, say z=10” to my workgroup. :P
The QMX works well enough that I'm not going to critique the choice of voltage regulation or other plumbing bits. The boring parts work, even if they weren't designed by a professional EE. It uses low power on receive and is reliable, which are my primary concerns. I don't expect to get the same design as a team of Yaesu engineers would use on a $5k transceiver. If it's not hurting RF performance, then it is fairly low on the wish list.

Overall, the kit is still a killer value and buildable by someone who can follow directions and is decent at soldering. This is in stark contrast to many other kits which require a lot of sleuthing to figure out issues because the instructions aren't clear, or they changed some components and didn't update their documentation. And these other kits often don't have any better design for their power management sides either.

There have been a few board revisions to address some of the bigger issues that have come up with early board spins, and I like that mods have been made public for most of the early builders to keep their kits working.

The most common problem seem to be blown transistors from transmitting into a mismatched load, and that is mostly the operator's fault and common in many radios. I like that Hans put some SWR protection in the QMX to keep the finals from blowing as often as they might.
>> It's not a frontend problem

From my perspective as a Java developer, it's a frontend problem.

I've been employed as a Java developer for over a quarter of a century. For a little over the first ten years of that, I did full stack development, and that was the norm at the companies I worked for.

That has changed where it is now typical for there to be a separate team for frontend, and often three teams for frontend (web, iOS and Android). For me that change was around the time of AngularJS -> Angular.

Yes, Java was changing rapidly in the first ten years or so, very rapidly in the first 3 years. But that is over. Java 5 was a huge change, and there were some major features in Java 8, but Java 8 was in 2014. My team only switched to Java 11 recently. Java 24 is out now. I haven't used any Java 11 features. I don't even know what they are. I haven't learned a single new language feature for a decade.

Build tools are the same for the last 15 years. IDE is the same for the last 20 years. The main frameworks I use have been the same for 10 years. When I switched to my last job, the code base was structured exactly the way my previous team's was.

Building web services in Java is a solved problem. It's completely boring, in a good way. It's COBOL.

Frontend was changing rapidly in the late 90's/early 00's also, but it has kept changing rapidly the entire time since then. The pet UI project I build a few years ago is completely outdated.

Any of the Java projects that I worked on in the post-EJB era, you could easily find a Java developer today who could step in and immediately be productive working on them, even if the developer wasn't born yet when they were created. There would be a few outdated libraries to learn, maybe.

One can understand hyperbole and still not know that you were being emphatically hyperbolic instead of literally hyperbolic. Sometimes the hyperbolic statement is also literally true. This is a place of academic types who are used to being careful with hyperbole for this very reason. (In this particular case, the contention is also with the use of the word "only", which suggests a factual basis rather than opinion, so it's not necessarily an issue with hyperbole. But... meh, people can read better, too.)

Not trying to say the point you intended to make is invalid or even that your word choice is invalid, just that the literal interpretation of your writing is also a valid one. Especially among people who don't know you personally. That said, I also believe that the other commenter could and should have read a stronger interpretation of your words (such as if "only" was replaced with "best" or "my most preferred") and replied to that or not replied at all.

>No, you weren't pointing that out.

Suppose it'd be meaningless to quote my comment above, for the reasons I've outlined and for that matter, just because anyone else can scroll a few inches and see for themselves. You're oblivious.

>Disagreeing with a value system doesn't mean you're incapable of understanding or representing it fairly.

It means that I do not care. If my values are secondary to your own, then I no longer wish to participate, and I will vote with those who promise to stop this nonsense. And guess what? Those people are winning elections and your nonsense will never be implemented.

There is no such thing as "objective benefit". Either you want something, or you don't. I don't want this.

Russia launches from Baikonur in Kazakhstan, which is in Asia (per the traditional Europe-Asia boundary of the Ural river).

Also, most EU launches are from French Guiana, which is a part of France and therefore a part of the EU, so there have been commercial space launches from the EU(the polity), just not from Europe(the landmass).
Maybe I am just dumb but I really cannot see how data synch could solve what (in my kind of business) is a real problem.

Example: you develop a web app to book for flights online.

My browser points to it and I login.
Should synchronization start right now? Before I even input my departure point and date?

Ok, no. I write NYC -> BER, and a dep date.

Should I start synching now?

Let's say I do. Is this really more efficient than querying a webservice?

Ok, now all data are synched. Even potentially the ones for business class, even if I just need economy.

You kniw, I could always change my mind later. Or find out that on the day I need to travel no economy seats are available anymore.

Whatever. I have all the inventory data that I need. Raw.

Guess what? As a LH frequent flyer I get special treatment in terms of price. Not just for LH, but most Business Alliance airlines.

This logic is usually on the server, because airlines want maximum creativity and flexibility in handling inventory.

Should we just synch data and make the offer selection algorithm run on the webserver instead?

Let's say it does not matter... I have somehow in front of me all the options for my trip. So I call my wife to confirm she agrees with my choice. I explain her the alternatives... this takes 5 minutes.

In this period, 367 other people are buying/cancelling trips to Europe. So I either see my selection constantly change (yay! Synchronization!!!) or I press confirm, and if my choice is gine I get a warning message and I repeat my query.

Now add two elements:
- airlines prefer not to show real numbers of available seats - they will usually send you a single digit from 1 to 9 or a "*" to mean "10 or more".

So just symching raw data and let the combinatorial engine work in the browser is not a very good idea.

Also, I see the pontential to easily mount DDOS attacks if every client is constantly being synchronized by copying high contention tables in RT.

What am I missing here?
I worded this badly. I probably should have said that human authoring was not a concern while designing the language. MDN has a specific page for authoring MathML[1] where they suggest you probably don’t want to write them by hand and suggest you should use tools that generate MathML instead.

This is really no different from SVG. The design of the SVG markup language did not take considerations of people writing SVG images by hand, instead they designed the language to be a handy compiler target. Which it is, you can draw nice SVG images from a GUI like inkscape as well as nice graphs from a javascript library like d3.

I interpreted the miracle to be that it achieves a political goal AND makes money.

From TFA:

“… congestion pricing is a policy unicorn - it accomplishes a key goal (reducing congestion) and raises money. This is in contrast with highway widenings which are the opposite: they cost money (often billions of dollars) and fail to accomplish the goal of reducing traffic due to induced demand.”
It doesn't work if Trump has already put tarrifs on the EU though. When you fire a gun, it ceases to be a deterrent.

What do you mean? There is nothing optimized away. If there would be an if statement to check for a NULL pointer, yes, that most likely would be optimized away due to UB (if something is undefined, it is not NULL, so the check can be removed...).
