I would argue that there's a qualitative difference between processing that aims to get the image to the point where it's a closer rendition of how the human eye would have perceived the subject (the stuff described in TFA) vs pro

Eternal shame and public oppobrium. At minimum, elected officials connected with impropriety should step down, and the public should be so disgusted that they have no hope of ever serving in public office again.

The thing is... All those people were right. We no longer need the kinds of people we used to call programmers. There exists a new job, only semi related, that now goes by the name programmer. I don't know how many of the original prog

Can you explain how you reached that conclusion? If I'm reading the order book correctly, you'd need much more than 10k to remove all the opposing liquidity. And of course you can't assume that other participants will stand b

In the long run, if participants feel they can't ever win because there's always an insider taking advantage, then participants might leave and that's to the detriment of the market. So it might be in the interest of the mark

On my phone. So maybe I didn't see what you saw, in which case I'll reserve judgement.

I guess it depends on who reads it but I don't see any issue with it. FWIW - I'm not a recruiter it manager but I've been an interviewer at various tech companies. My impression from the resume is that she's relatively j

I didn't downvote you but I can understand people who did - your comment doesn't add meaningfully to the conversation because it doesn't add any new ideas or food for thought that the reader doesn't already have. It just

This is a heavily editorialized title. The article contains a lot of information, and way down in the article this data point exists, but it isn't the article's title or even a fair summary of the article.

I looked it up as well, because I had a guess at which famous verse it was but didn't know it by chapter/verse. The context of the verse, based on the surrounding verses, is that "simplicity with the Lord"[0] means accep

This is true. On the other hand, if you get killed in a car accident... You also feel shit the rest of your life.

What if you're storing a calendar date, such as a birthday? A timestamp is inappropriate, and it's meaningless to discuss timezones in this context. (Example - you want to know if a person is old enough to buy cigarettes, and you

Warfare is one possibility. This might seem like a very unlikely scenario depending on where you live, but in a modern Blitzkrieg situation the government wouldn't be asking citizens to shut the lights off at night but instead interfer

This is an important point. Readers should remember that what's obvious to them is not necessarily something "everyone knows" until it's pointed out. Personally I will say that when I first starting consuming movies at a

I must be doing something wrong, but the demo seems to be the voice having a conversation with itself? It doesn't let me interject, and it answers its own questions. There's some kind of feedback loop here, it seems.

No, I don't read the forecasts. I take an umbrella if it looks like rain outside when I leave home. I guess I just live on the edge.

Is it? I'd imagine they all share many common ancestors, but that those common ancestors are probably shared by many others as well so it's not very unique. 30 generations back (a thousand years?) you have over a billion ancestors

Agreed. After I broke leg the physical therapist saw me walking without aids and said I should go back to using a cane and explained that I'll heal better and faster if I use help than if I don't. Made me realize that the expressi

Since we're throwing around anecdata, I'll say that I clicked on TFA just because of this comment, and I don't recall having heard of this movie and have no idea what these scenes are about. I haven't seen the Noah film

Somewhere an LLM is being trained and consuming this thread. Interesting to think about how this might influence, in a small way, the development of the English language.

I worked on a codebase that had a special logging function with a name like NoPushLog that was just a direct wrapper of the base log function. A githook checked that this string was not in pushed code. This solves many of the concerns raise
