“Our original configuration was fully HTTPS-enabled; however, we had to adjust this when browser manufacturers started blocking HTTPS websites from loading HTTP streams.
Approximately 20% of the stations featured on Radio Garden are accessible via HTTP streams, which would become inaccessible if we switched entirely to HTTPS. Given the recent changes in Chrome's behavior towards forcing an HTTPS connection, we are considering moving back to an all-HTTPS setup in the near future.”
I think you are on to something, but I still dont get why they would be priced at luxury rates in some place like Montana. I would think there would be a long list of potential sellers.
I don't think people with e-bikes even pedal into the orange zone. It's more of exercise theater, to borrow a term. HOwever, I do hope e-bikes start to overtake cars as modes of transportation in temperate climates.
> Except, I know how to slice and dice text with awk
I meant to say something more like "if you need to learn awk to do it, you may as well learn Perl instead". I figured from context that if you're "considering using awk", you don't know it, or you'd be "using awk". But no matter.
Perl can do everything Awk can, at least as well if not better. As fiddly, arbitrary, and limited, as Awk is, it's a lot less language, and that does come with advantages.
But I know from experience that you can learn the Awk subset of Perl as easily as you can learn Awk, and then you have a basis for extension to more tasks of a similar nature. If you want to see what I mean, there's a utility a2p[0] which translates Awk to Perl, this suffers slightly from machine translation, but it's a good demonstration that Perl can do everything Awk can in not just a trivial sense, but in the sense that it's designed to make Awk unnecessary.
So if you can get over whatever aesthetic hangup you have about Perlian line noise, you might discover you like it. Anyone using Awk "very regularly" is leaving a lot of potential on the table by refusing to learn Perl. Then again, sometimes it's best to stick with what you know.
CEOs love borderless talent until they realize that it exposes them to borderless corporate income taxation...
This isn't like the old days when Apple and Microsoft could exploit international tax loopholes. Those loopholes are gone, and transfer pricing (aka mandatory profit for related-party cross-board transactions) is now mandatory. In some countries, there are proposals to to tax transfer pricing income even if the entity as a whole is not profitable, and this is on the table for the next OECD guidelines. Countries are also no longer willing to accept the ridiculous under-valuations of migrated or licensed IP that Apple and Microsoft got away with.
Western canada has a ton of high quality trees. So furniture companies should move to this place, buy cheap input materials, create local economy, add value in a healthy way, and profit properly. Instead locals trying to do anything are killed by global pricing and it destroys businesses. It costs thousands of dollars more than it should just to make a CRATE to ship anything else. Absolute the opposite of proper sustainable economy
inspections/regulations aren't the cost center here. the big guys (a 4 company cartel) get to use literal slave labor to do the butchering, processing, and packing.
meanwhile a local farm has to hire a local butcher.
Oh, yeah, you're right. It seemed like OP was trying to prove he could "bare bones" it because the article was about how to avoid everything but a framebuffer, so I thought I'd offer this up... LVGL is as bare-bones as it gets!
I don't think that's true for everyone. Your math PhDs and enthusiasts appreciate math as beautiful in and of itself. The disconnect might be that they forget many others do want skin in the game, and that makes the teachers not understand what the students need.
According to? It was supposed to be sovereign. It gave up its nuclear weapons in exchange for guaranties of never being attacked... Russia can't be trusted.
>there has been a faction that has wanted to push NATO boundaries east
Well, NATO membership works like this: Countries ask for membership. It's not "NATO" deciding "hmmm, let's expand east". You must be confusing with Russia expansion, forcibly annexing land, with all the war crime and deportation. Ex-soviet countries know what it's like to be occupied by Russia, so they want to be part of NATO. I'm sure you can see the difference.
> Putin has been responding to the antagonism with bold and efficient use of force to advance Russia's national interest in the face of such aggression.
Bold and efficient use of force??? Like, bold torture? Efficient killing and starving POWs? Smart kidnapping and re-education of Ukrainian children to draft them to fight against their own people? Yeah, what a genius. You're nauseating. You're talking just like a nazi would.
I think I'll stop there, I don't think it's worth discussing with people who casually admire war criminals.
> As a specific example, our high-school math curriculum taught a lot of calculus, but framed it incorrectly as being a useful tool that people would use.
One day at FedEx the BoD (board of directors) was concerned about the future of the company and as part of that wanted an estimate of the likely growth of the company.
In the offices there were several efforts, free-hand, wishes, hopes, guesses, what the marketing/selling people thought, etc., and none of those efforts seemed to be objective or with a foundation or rationality.
We knew the current revenue. We could make an okay estimate of revenue when all the airplanes were full. So, the problem was essentially to interpolate over time between those two numbers.
For the interpolation, how might that go? That is, what, day by day, would be driving the growth? So, notice that each day current customers would be shipping packages, and customers to be would be receiving them and, thus, learning about FedEx and becoming customers. That is, each day the growth would be directly proportional to (1) the number of current customers creating publicity and (2) the number of customers to be receiving that publicity.
So, for some math, let t be time in days, y(t) the revenue on day t, t = 0 for the present day, and b the revenue when all the planes were full. Then for some constant of proportionality k, we have
y'(t) = k y(t) (b - y(t))
where y'(t) = dy/dt the calculus first derivative of y(t) with respect to t.
A little calculus yields a solution. Seeing how the growth goes for several values of k, pick one that seems reasonable. Draw the graph and leave it for the BoD.
That was a Friday, and the BoD meeting started at 8 AM the next day, Saturday.
First thing at the meeting, two crucial BoD members asked how the graph was drawn. For several hours, no one had an answer. The two members gave up on FedEx, got plane tickets back to Texas, returned to their rented rooms, packed, and as a last chance returned to the BoD meeting. FedEx was about to die.
I did all the work for the graph, the idea, calculus, arithmetic (HP calculator), but didn't know about the BoD meeting. Someone guessed that I did know about the graph, and I got a call and came to the meeting. The two crucial BoD members were grim, standing in the hallway with their bags packed, and their airline tickets in their shirt pockets.
I reproduced a few points on the graph, and FedEx was saved.
I don’t want to buy a device that can run any code, even if it’s apparently (hacking or force can be a factor) by my own choice. Especially for a device that I also use for contactless payment.
I want full confidence that I can buy a second hand device without any malicious software installed (even if I’m not smart enough to know how to properly and fully reset it). And I want people that buy my second hand phone to have full confidence in that device so I get a good resale value for it. Maintaining this resale value is also important to avoid e-waste, since if people don’t get a good price for their phone it just gets left in a drawer.
Apple provides this product. So I buy it. If you don’t want these guarantees for a device you’re buying, just don’t buy an iPhone.
I think we’re going about lack of choice completely wrong. Yeah, it may be hard to get certain apps that don’t rely on iOS or Google Play Services. So legislation should target that problem instead: government and key public service apps should be published in an open app format that can be run on any device that implements the open standard.
Looks to be an interesting article, but I dont understand which side that comes down on or how it fits into the big picture.
A big gap between farm price and wholesale would support the idea that farmers could be competitive by cutting them out. Indeed, it sounds like more are because farmers (or feedlots) are creating new processors.
Alternatively, if huge processors are hyper efficient, then what is going on in Switzerland? Why could I buy local meat and milk that was half off the market, and even cheaper than the US from farms?
This is like saying your evaluation of my house when it was in bad shape is wrong, because after a complete renovation, I managed to get a higher price.
That doesn't disprove the initial evaluation, which was fair based on its condition at the time.
When I wanted to make a python application to separate a song into the source instruments I used this: https://www.coursera.org/learn/audio-signal-processing.
I studied signal processing as a Computer Engineer student but I didn't really get it at the time, with that course I understood what I could do in practice.
I stopped when they had issues getting it into Canada, then decided to drive across the border to get it instead. I stopped because of too much soy side effects.
