- At my institution there was a student revolt, chartwell was kicked out and it is a work co-op. The quality has increased, the employees are better treated and the cost stayed the same, and stupid rules like that are no more !
- Your view on parrots is wrong ! Parakeet don't understand but some parrots are exceptionally intelligent.
Africans grey parrots, do understand the words they use, they don't merely reproduce them. Once mature they have the intelligence (and temperament) of a 4 to 6 years old child.
why not use an 8 wide optimal sort network for those 8 integers?if you apply quicksort to 2^20 random integers, at some point you're sorting 2^17 8-integer subpartitions- Work got me an hp elite book a few year ago and the only thing negative I have to say about it is that the screen is pathetic! Otherwise it's a decent yet overpriced (unless you buy hundreds of them each year like my work place does) laptop. I used to run arch Linux at work but I was denied my favorite OS this time because it's wasn't compatible with the EDR software... So i cannot tell you how bad it is with Linux.
It still hold its charge but then I mostly work on it plugged either via RDP from my personal workstation at home or from the docking station in my office at the campus. So it has less than 50 charge cycles.
- the acronym is NAC for N-Acetyl-L-Cystenine (the L is implied). With ACC you could theoretically have S-acetyl-L-Cystenine and that not the antidote !
- I did try that weird linux on fat32 distribution but like you I completely forgot its name. I remember that I installed it because I wanted to run bitchx and be able to send ping of death!
- 2 * 1000 is 2000 ;)
I think you meant 2**1000
the syntax for formatting ate your star https://news.ycombinator.com/formatdoc
- If they achieve their goals; I don't know of any tech company I would trust with a direct write access to my brain.
- you have the causality reversed....
- you probably meant metaclass and according to the doc classes inheritance don't have surprising behaviors. And about the metaclass not being inherited here are the implication:
...In more prosaic terms, this means that static methods are not inherited. - I consider that the core of Windows (the NT kernel and win32 api) is actually a very polished gem but it is encased in layers of upon layers of barely polished turds ( winui, the win11 shell, the over agressive telemetry, forced ms635 integration, etc..)
- I should probably have used the word efficiency instead of effectiveness because I had in mind the ratio benefits/(costs+risk).

Our review of the trial publications found high quality evidence of statistically significant group differences, but also recognized that there are mixed views on the clinical relevance of the observed differences and the value of therapy for individual patients. ... If patients are treated, then confirmation of AD by positron emission tomography or cerebrospinal fluid analysis and monitoring for risk of amyloid-related imaging abnormalities was recommended, as done in the clinical trials, although it would strain Canadian resource capacity. - The fact that it clears the plaques quickly is not what so promising about this drugs candidate.
Unkike monoclonal antibodies of dubious effectiveness like elecanemab, donanemab and cie; this work upstream of the plaques. If a compromised BBB is a cause and not a symptom of another underlying cause this has a chance of doing something positive in the clinic. And that is also why this substance is an interesting leads for ALS and parkison.
- For a featureless program it appears to be quite featurefull !
Opaque and transparencies, at the same time. Use opaque color for impasto, or glazing over with transparencies, any process, any time. Different reflectance behaviour for dense/diluted colors, enjoy the hue shifts as you mix. Allow different light source and exposure control of the image. Node-Based Brush Engine ... - No, I was pissed that the only punishment, for a know offender, was a small fine.
The police knew the guy (young adults with bright orange hoodie are quite uncommon here) and they told me that he already did this a few time before moving in my neighborhood and that they never had enough evidences to do something else than fine him.
Also I think the police are bored in my city because there were 4 patrols cars in the street when I got back home.
- Someone tried to enter by the window next to my front porch door, it prompted me to install a video doorbell because the dude that frightened my wife only received a ticket because there was no proof he tried (and fail) to force open a window and did not enter the house. If I had a recording he would have spent the night at the station and it would have been a criminal offense instead of a civil one.
Even if it only provides deterrence, and a slight chance of after the fact punishment, I don't feel idiotic for buying a "doorstep Webcam", the door is visible from the street so there is no expectation of privacy and I really don't care that someone else could access those recordings.
If I had indoors cameras they would be in a private network. But for a front porch camera the easiest to install IOT junk is perfectly serviceable.
My summary: it's too big big to fail so let's transfer the risk on the taxpayer and if it fails anyway, let them eat cake. And by the way, that cake is a lie !Where does all this leave us? For one, you better hope and pray that AI delivers a magical transformation, because if it doesn't, the whole economy will collapse into brutal serfdom. When I say magic here, I mean it; because of the ~38T national debt bomb, a big boost is not enough. If AI doesn't completely transform our economy, the massive capital misallocation combined with the national debt is going to cause our economy to implode.- To reuse your analogy, I fear that the forest wasn't managed properly and that the coming fire will do a lot more damage than a controlled burn. And I have no idea when it's going to start nor how to fireproof my investments !
That's the question that prevent me from being atheist and shift me to agnosticism.
