> Trump administration says restrictions could impose ‘disproportionate’ burden on US tech companies
Placing the onus firmly on US tech companies and not the well-being of children.
The tech firms (like cigarette manufacturers) have long known about the harms of social media on the young, and what steps or measures have they taken to reduce or limit damage (...crickets).
Oppose a "blunt regulatory instrument" if you like, but if you don't implement safety measures that's what you're going to get.
I'm working on something very similar, but I've found that if I'm not doing the work - I forget what has been set up and how its running a lot faster.
For example - I have ZFS running with a 5-bay HDD enclosure, and I honestly can't remember any of the rules about import-ing / export-ing to stop / start / add / remove pools etc.
I have to write many clear notes, and store them in a place where future me will find them - otherwise the system gets very flaky through my inability to remember what's active and what isn't. Running the service and having total control is fun, but it's a responsibility too
Apparently if a light-bulb blows at a station, two different contractors need to be called - one company has a contract for replacing consumables while another has a contract for repairing faults.
Hijacked? no. For me this demonstrates the temporal differences between the web and the real world.
Books are solid things that will be here for a long time. Websites are transitory, ethereal and likely to change. It's clearly ok to reference a book from a website, but books that reference websites - yeuch. It reminds me of those stacks of hard-copy programming manuals targeting specific versions of a language now obsolete.
When you don't understand this you end up in this kind of situation. If you don't renew your domain, you might lose it (as the author and publisher are now finding out). I expect legal proceedings will fail miserably, and that a nice fat bung will probably solve the problem immediately.
> Doing the smallest and easiest solution to a problem as a way to get to know the full scope and then iterating after that if needs be is by far the best solution (for me).
100% -- this is YAGNI (or you-aint-gonna-need-it) and should be among the first things you think about when starting a new project.
Not patronising, this was exactly my first (and off-topic) thought as well.
We have lived in our house for +15 years and we still regularly find small fluorescent yellow ball bearings in the garden soil from the previous owners family. These things are here to stay
While we're here - I've gained a lot from "Data Analysis: A Bayesian Tutorial" by DS Sivia and J Skilling. It's a graduate level text, and I found the chapters very concise and the subject well-laid out. It was one of those books that gave me continuous insight and fresh inspiration - even though it's more than 10 years old.
P are intended for general-purpose GPU compute applications (and have 1, 8 or 16 GPUs, more RAM and fewer CPUs). Typically you might use these for scientific computing / machine learning / anything CUDA intensive.
G are optimized for graphics-intensive applications (and have 1, 2 or 4 GPUs, less RAM and more CPUs) - you might use these for design work, gaming etc.
When you design and write your own typesetting system in order to publish seven volumes on "The Art of Computer Programming", you get to choose whatever format you want.
... I love the idea of a new python plotting library, but why is this anti-pattern so common with plotting libs?
