There was an MIT Tech Review article on mineral weathering that had quite a bit about this project.

Indeed, but a little care is needed: the key Islamic philosophers had a higher profile in educated thought from the Renaissance to the beginning of the Enlightenment, so the simple fact of Smith citing Al-Ghazali is less significant in itse

I recommend Michael Hudson on the relationship between debt and capitalism. His view is that the danger to the stability of the economy presented by debt is not a feature of capitalism but is very old, but with capitalism comes a nrw unheal

It's jargon used by part of the industry. It's not like the usual irregularities of natural language. There's no need to encourage its wider adoption.

I linked to the website (which was updated in May, but its contents could do with more work) because it has examples of how well the suite fits together. I don't know much about Jax. I've seen competent benchmarks showing an order

Autodiff is a place where there is a gulf between Julia and Python, one that I think can't be bridged well: JuliaDiff is astonishingly flexible and performant. https://www.juliadiff.org/

There are warts with the beginner experience with Python, principally the awful situation with packaging. If you care about performance in code that mixes together several packages in nontrivial ways, Julia is way better than Python. There&

Funny, last time I changed my birthday on Facebook I was asked "Are you sure? You can change your birthdate at most 5 times". Presumably they must be aware that at least one of the birthdates I gave was false.

Apple has less to fear from antitrust than Google in general, and particularly from taking hostile actions towards Facebook. On the other hand, Facebook is not really a competitor to Apple, while Google very much is, so Apple has an incenti

If you want to whine about Apple's App Store policies, join the queue. The surprise, really, is that they took that long.

Is this a serious question? The APK is widely available, but it's pointless given the server is down.

Mea culpa: I should have been aware of that. I'm looking at https://status.nixos.org/ Are the 6-12 month old releases more stable than the 0-6 month releases? (i.e., is 20.03 more stable than 20.09?)

It used to be the case that double precision meant two words, which for this 16-bit CPU fits. It's fairly rare these days now we care more about portability.

Debian stable offers unattended patches, which is something I value highly in public-facing server deployments. I haven't seen anything like this even proposed for NixOS. https://wiki.debian.org/UnattendedUpgrades

It is hard to audit DFSG compliance for software whose build process pulls in dependencies at run time.

I'm surprised the option of moving the package to contrib got so little support. Many of these packages don't seem a good fit for Debian stable and its security-patch model.

Apple didn't give a reasonable timeframe to respond, but that is typical for them. The 7 weeks Amazon gave absolutely is reasonable: if this was a priority for Parler they could have put some effective measure in place.

by chalst 6y ago
If Parler was serious, the owners would have hand-moderated the specific complaints Amazon made. Their response is like a streaming service that responds to a DMCA takedown by saying they plan on making it possible to comply sooner or later

Parler is not a competitor to any of Amazon, Apple or Google, the three companies involved.

Usenet had killfiles, Wikipedia has IP bans for problem editors. Issue trackers need something similar.

I'd guess Telegram gets more negative votes than Signal, because of the e2ee+infrastructure trust issue.

Biden has been very comfy as a senator with the expansive IP claims made by Hollywood. I think he is going to be something of a disappointment to you.

Strange that Rob doesn't mention the possibility that the private key was compromised. What the DKIM signature really proves is the date the message was sent, not who composed the message.
