It’s hard to use words like “unprecedented” to describe what has happened this last week, but the disarray the government currently in has no precedent to my knowledge. The current disarray moves well beyond the precedented events like gove

Surprised this isn’t on the front page, given the clear security concerns of hundreds of thousands of government workers potentially impacted and well known implications from the previous OPM hack. I guess hacks are less interesting when do

Iceberg has branching but it doesn’t really have great “merge” semantics, but the semantics otherwise would work good for batch semantics. What I think I’d like is to say “there are only AppendFilesCommits in these two branches” and merge t

I would blend the herbs in rum, then strain and use the rum with simple syrup. Similar to this: https://www.seriouseats.com/dave-arnolds-thai-basil-daiquiri...

At the very least they have an export ban on the "algorithms" which is why they won't sell, and chinese control, especially under Xi, is well documented, so I don't know what kind of smoking gun you'd expect. It&#x2

You don't understand the difference between a non-resident corporation under control of an adversary and a naturalized citizen?

Slippery slope fallacy. We aren’t banning all chinese companies just like they haven’t banned all US companies

Ridiculous statement. You must believe they should have political speech then? Maybe they should be able to donate to elections or even vote too? Why stop at corporations? If they want speech, they should reside in the US, not just own a pi

Why do you care if a chinese company is banned from business in the US? All sorts of american companies are banned from doing business in China

You see this a lot in strange ways these days. Rage bait, feigned ignorance, and things like that. It’s anti-quality and it’s just as effective (if not more) than quality content.

Most DOE contracts (the ones the government has with the university or consortium running the lab) usually say something to the effect of “unless you can prove this source code is marketable/SBIR worthy, you can keep it private or open

I mean, that’s true of most businesses and industries, big and small? The average person has no idea what Oracle or SAP exists, or that they are multibillion dollar companies. Most people don’t know you can just go buy plastic and composite

In 2016 I was asked by an Uber driver in Pittsburgh when his job would be obsolete (I’d worked around Zoox people quite a bit and Uber basically was all-in at CMU. I told him it was at least 5 years, probably 10, though he was sure it would

conda was for scientific python, but had to solve for everything below python to make that work. There was no generic binary solution before python for multiple architectures and operating systems.

I think low light performance is still worse than I thought it would be with an iPhone 16 Pro. With enough light the cameras are great.

Before 2008 or so a 35mm SLR has higher quality photos for the price if you weren’t taking that many photos and you could still process film all over, with good quality scans if you had the right place. When DSLRs hit 10+ MP and dropped to

They are just bad in the offseason though? New batches should be good? My favorite is the kanzi, but it’s not really available year round. Most apples peak in November anyway

I’m not going to argue with the possibility they may have hit a wall, but pointing to 2022 as when this wall happened is weird considering the enormous capability gap between models available then and the ones now. There’s probably a wall,

Yeah this is the place to do it. Much less competition with established places. I think Bend and Boise are likely to experience rapid expansion in the next 20 years on the west coast, especially as winters grow milder.

Probably the place that makes the most sense would be Idaho/Oregon/Washington. The weather is relatively moderate (compared to the midwest), more water available nearby. The weather is a bit nicer in Utah/Colorado/New Me
