The article mentions ”gn” in passing, but it doesn’t give it enough credit: this is an enormously useful motion, almost more useful on its own than the rest of the article.

The thing that makes it golden is that it is a motion, and thus combined with a command, it is repeatable! So, like:

1. Search for something (either using / or *).

2. Type ”cgn” in Normal mode (i.e. change next search match) and replace what you searched for with whatever

3. Hammer on ”.” (i.e. repeat last command) to replace other matches.

This replaces, like, 97% of uses of :s and is a much more convenient way to do search/replace, especially if you use * to search for the word under the cursor. It’s the bee’s knees!
It lost out in getting vendor support from lots of different big vendors. OTOH, many hosting environments find it more useful. (It used to be a Citrix product which might explain the more unified architecture it has).
It sounds to me like this isn't a vacation at all: it's just a business trip, paid for by the employee's company.

<< Matej Hrescak, a product designer at Facebook, spent several weeks at the Surf Office on Gran Canaria in the Canary Islands, near one of the island’s noted surfing beaches.

“I really appreciate long uninterrupted periods of work time in order to dive deep into a particular problem, and having a destination where you’re far away from usual distractions made this possible,” he said. The high-speed Internet, fully stocked office, access to a kitchen and camaraderie of other guests at barbecues, biking trips and other planned group activities, he added, all contributed to his productivity. >>

I wouldn't be very happy if I were expected to contribute to travel or lodging while "co-working on vacation" - or if the trip used up any vacation time.
What alternative service? Twitter is a social network, it only has value because of the sheer number of people that use it.
Ignorance of the law will not protect you from it, neither will ignorance of security precautions prevent you from being hacked. People will always make mistakes, but you don't raise the bar by merely tolerating the status quo.

I think more people need to understand that security is important, implementing the security precautions that you're aware of isn't enough anymore. You need to be active in the community to make sure you're up to speed on recent developments, and that you're following Best Practices where possible. Anything less is insufficient.

It's us the customers who are hurt the most when company databases get hacked. Companies should start showing some respect for that fact by taking security seriously.
Thanks for the suggestion, will check those out!
10 years is far from end of life for a vanlife conversion. Many conversions start with something older than that. Boats are in water, so they have a lot more wear and tear. If you stay out of the road salt states, it's normal to see 40 year old camper vans still in daily use.

The real limiting factor is when the furnishings, flooring, cabinets, appliances, all that stuff wears out. Manufactured housing in general has this 20 to 40 year depreciation, because we don't pretend as a society that they're an appreciating asset. Its ridiculous that we treat stick built houses (as opposed to the land they are built on) that way; houses have major maintenance costs over time as well. It's just easier with manufactured housing of any type to, instead of: new roof, new HVAC, a kitchen renovation, new flooring, etc etc, just.. defer maintenance on those items as practical and then replace the whole thing or do a major midlife overhaul. (The latter does require a "home base", so doing vanlife long term does require finding places to settle down occasionally - this lifestyle is much easier for people who have families and/or friends with single family detached homes in suburban or rural areas they can crash with sometimes.)
You're thinking of 355mL, which is roughly 12oz.
When it was released the game didn't have all the microtransactions so it probably took no time at all to process the JSON even with this issue.

Then over time they slowly add data to the JSON and then this O(n^2) stuff starts to creep up and up, but the farther away from release you are, the less likely that the kind of engineers to who do optimisation and paying any attention.

They are all off working on the next game.
I've been robbed and I've been burglarized. I've paid taxes mostly as an upper lower class person for a few decades and as a middle middle class person for over a decade.

Paying taxes feels a lot more like an inconvenience than theft to me. Maybe I don't earn enough to truly feel how onerous taxes are.
TL;DR

macOS Big Sur updates got bigger.
Do Big Sur updates really take longer to install? I’ve been putting off installing a Catalina update on my laptop because my impression is they take ~45 minutes to install, which is what this article claims Big Sur updates take.
Xcode is a normal application. I think you can get it from the App Store? It comes with all the permissions it needs, simulators, ability to connect to your devices etc. You don't need emacs or something like that.

People get this funny idea that coding is a fundamentally low-level activity in conflict with user protection. It isn't - it can be high-level. A compiler is a pure function!
Seems to be offline still.
I really wanted to consider the X1 Carbon this last spring but two things stopped me. The function row and the 8GB RAM.

I ended up with a w540 - it has 2880x1620px 15.4" screen and the battery life has been great under Ubuntu (5-6hrs) if a bit less than it gets under Windows (6-7hrs). But I got 16GB of RAM and it can go up to 32GB.

Heating the blades would be nearly impossible with any significant wind chill. I imagine anyplace that has wind turbines is going to have significant wind chill.
IJS record-breaking cold weather in Texas currently.
It’s not even in the top 20 most dangerous jobs in the nation. It’s simple, they are an armed gang with authority and are using their teamism to keep their power. It needs to be wrenched away and cops should be what they are everywhere else — servants for the public good.
Yeah that seems likely, I have seen people do repairs on carbon before depending on the level of damage.

There is also the old saying "If you don't tell the rest of the group ride that your bike is titanium, it will transform in to aluminum."
MercadoPago is the payment gatewat and it's amazing. They take care of delivery/logistics like Amazon and it's fast and works in remote places too.
I agree that Taiwan has done an exceptional job, but we weren't required to wear masks anywhere outside mass transit and some privately owned establishments until very recently when there was a spike in infected nationals returning.

Now, we wear masks in most indoor commercial places, excluding dining areas. For the most part, all of last year was just life as usual. There have been large outdoor events, including a marathon in December with 28000 participants.
It's simple.

Human to human, one at a time.

Skip the interactions that discount you.
Very cool, I was unaware of this product. Thanks for the deal! :D
> I have a feeling that many of the engineers who live in locations far off from SV such as Bangladesh, who do have the skills to make it as a FAANG employee (for example), already choose to move to SV/London/etc and collect that salary

What is this feeling based on? You have to invest a lot of money, time and effort into paperwork before you can dream of migrating. One does not simply "choose" to move; it takes months or years of effort - not every talented individual takes this route, or even thinks it's worthwhile - there are a lot of trade-offs, even for the most naïve. I suspect this idea of talent=success is an instance of the Just-world fallacy (one way of reading what you said is that those who are talented have already been rewarded by FAANG jobs, therefore those who haven't yet are not talented, obviously)
The probability of the bubble bursting now though is higher than in 2017 (can't argue with that?) ... Rebalancing is a form of market timing, why not be 100% in equities and never rebalance? There is some evidence to suggest that's a good idea.

The way I approach this is that I take these sorts of macro bets with some portion of my portfolio. In a sense I adjust or rebalance my portfolio to partly reflect what I believe are better investments at that time, but not radically so. That way I get to have the fun of maybe timing the market and making an extra buck while also mostly being continuously invested. Being diversified also helps.
I'd wait a few generations to be honest, Mac laptops have become notoriously faulty in recent years. They're not the bulletproof machines they once were, and tend to have a lot of engineering flaws (flex cable and display issues especially). The M1 seems okay so far as it's an iteration of the previous gen, but they did make a lot of changes as well. I'd hold out for a later version.
If you use Weechat for IRC, there is a Matrix bridge plugin that would allow you to connect to Matrix from the command line.
CUDA is Nvidia exclusive, no? I don’t think support for third party graphics hardware will be forthcoming
Pervasive advertising surveillance is quite a bit different from ntp queries for "what time is it?" and confirming the time with HTTPS servers.

Having multiple sources improves NTP and prevents a single distorted source from breaking things, and large companies have good security reasons to tell the truth about the time.
nothing has changed.
Sometimes I feel bad for not contributing to the hispanic sphere.

I mean, most of internet's content is in English. Programming is all in english. English is also the lingua franca.

But everything seems dull compared to english content. You have the science, the TV and so on, maybe its just me not feeling so good about local culture.

Yet tourists seem to love these places. What a paradox.
She's French, I believe. I don't know how to easily/accurately measure the I/O performance of the encrypted swap in itself, but if it's to any value I do run OpenBSD with FDE (full-disk encryption) on an old mechanical 2.5" drive, on a somewhat modern low-power Celeron setup, and I see around 45-50 MB/s transfer speeds for both reads and writes. I don't know what the same setup and drive reaches without FDE.
> The challenge you have is that people view housing as an investment.

Is there any source to this claim? "View as investment" would mean people buy the house with the specific aim of making a profit.

As a middle aged homeowner in suburbia where all my acquaintances are in the same demographic, I can't think of anyone ever saying they bought a house with the goal to make a profit.

People buy a house so the kids have a place to play and to stabilize the housing expenses to make budgeting easier. Whether it can be sold for a profit or not in 40 years is not a consideration.
I agree with you that newer versions don't tend to get rid of optimizations.

However, other python implementations might not optimize the concatenation. IIRC, pypy doesn't.
There is fine, but very important line between being unable to help and being unwilling to.

Which makes propaganda so much more powerful.
I too share a dim view of the world's ability to work together. Even now when faced with such a disease that is essentially everyone's problem, countries first and foremost chose to safeguard their own interests at the expense of others. It is a situation where if we survive, we did so because we worked together and if we die, it is because we only cared for ourselves and nobody else. If course this is oversimplifying a very complex interplay of things but my drift is that no country seems to be able to look beyond their borders and see that if we were to win this, we have to work together.

Even more dismaying is the refusal to lift sanctions on Iran. Even a narrowly crafted exception to the sanctions for supplies needed to combat the onslaught of the virus would be good but so far nothing. This is according to what I have read this far and if this is in error, I would be happy to be shown that.
And then I can finally go to Titan.
A classmate of mine in 3rd grade spent an entire year in more or less constant pain when one of his legs needed growth plate surgery. He had metal pins sticking out of his legs, and like you would with braces, they were forcibly separated a millimeter or so a week for a year. This is like having a broken femur for 12 months that's intentionally never allowed to heal so the bone has to keep regrowing to fill in the gap.

i don’t recommend it for aesthetics! in his case, it was required and something they wanted to do before his growth plates closed completely. As a result he's had a normal adulthood.
It's more electrical/silicon engineering than technical history, but I absolutely love this article:

1. Yea, the fundamental flaws of treating people as dumb automata to be controlled top-down.
After I say this, they'll probably have a huge EBS-caused outage, but it feels like EBS is much more capable now than it was even a year or two ago.

The General Purpose SSDs and the Provisioned IOPS have more than handled our performance concerns. Since that last awful multi-AZ outage a year or two ago, there hasn't been much to deal with for us.
One of my first jobs was at an investment bank. They had a lot of programs that ran overnight, in a batch fashion. Everything had to be done before the markets opened the next morning. The term they used for idempotency was "free rerun." Being able to rerun any program with no special setup work was a high priority.

The value in programs being a "free rerun" was that every so often the program would barf on a bad bit of data in a record.

The programming environemnt was interpreted BASIC, so if an error occurred the program would print a message on the console and drop to an interactive prompt.

The operators running the batch schedule would see this and call the programmer on call for that night. You'd log in (over dial up at this time) and attach to the process, look at the error, figure out what went wrong, either correct the data or (more likely) skip the record and deal with it the next day. It was more important to have the programs finish on time; individual issues could be dealt with later.

Often you could just start up the program from where it left off, but if things were more screwed up it was important to be able to re-run it without any negative consequence.

Edit: this was ~30 years ago, so my point is that it's not any kind of new idea or something that wasn't recognized long ago.
The declaration makes the foundational claim that the right to life (et c) is inherent in mankind regardless of the existence or opinions of the state or the written law.

It's a shame the constitution didn't incorporate it by reference, but the declaration clearly claims (philosophical) superiority over the (legal) constitution.

It still doesn't say anything about food vendors. :)
It's a fix but a costly one. An underground car spot costs in the tens of thousands and so this ends up boosting the price of housing in addition to making construction more complex and time consuming.

As well there's the environmental impact. Concrete creates a lot of CO2 and we actually need to use less of it going forward.
If you commit 100MB file, change few bytes in it and commit it again your .git/objects will almost certainly contain two 100MB objects. The fact that it is somewhat likely that running "git gc" or something similar will convert one of them into reference to the other one and some compact representation of the difference is implementation detail.

While commit object does represent the snapshot it also references the previous state, thus the commit message usually describes what was changed between the referenced snapshot and the parent(s) that are also referenced from the commit object.

As for the overall model and leakage between implementation details and how people use it interesting approach is used by SCCS/BitKeeper with its internal "weave" format that essentially is both snapshot and diff at the same time.
It has to be where the camera is. Otherwise the device holding your private key would need some way to authenticate photos from the device with the camera, which was the original problem.
There's no "Czechoslovakia" for quite some time now.
It's a basic property of HTTP "GET". Or it's supposed to be. "GET" is not supposed to change server site state. That's what "POST" is for. This matters if there's a cache in the middle, since caches tend to assume that GET requests are idempotent and can be served from cache. Cloudflare assumes that. POST requests have to go through to the real server.
NLP has come quite a way since then, though the overlap with Google's functionality makes it seem like a losing idea regardless.
Wait long enough and you'll see some kid at a hackathon posting "I wish there was an app for splitting the bill with my friends..."

What about your ISP? They know every websites you consult, every phone calls and texts and they triangulate your position...
Yet Australia's GDP is like what? 4 times the the GDP of the Philippines? Population size alone is a meaningless metric.
How do you plan to monetize this given your experience with BoltDB and opensource monetization stance?

Is making the project closed to contributing part of that plan?

How did you decide on GPLv3 liscense?
Note that lots of those products say "no added nitrites or nitrates except those naturally occurring" in other ingredients. And then one of the ingredients is celery powder, which is only added for its nitrates. It's awfully misleading packaging.

If you're eating bacon and it tastes like bacon, it's cured.
To me, there can be almost a . . . cuteness to good simulation. It's a small, holdable version of something big, like a tiny stuffed giraffe.
Totally agree on decriminalizing drugs.

However, if you think that will put them out of biz, think again.

Start with the RUS govt which is a straight-up kleptocracy, a trans-national crime syndicate, which has literally stolen 90%+ of the nations wealth into the hands of a few dozen oligarchs (start reading up a bit on Simeon Mogilevich). Their biggest problem is laundering money, and they are exporting authoritarianism. We are currently under Asymmetric Warfare attack, and it is on all fronts.

Meanwhile, there is no govt agency FINCEN, NSA, or otherwise that is authorized or even GAF in the slightest about any marginal person. Your propposed threat model is just silly in the real world. What, some agent with terabytes of data streaming in is going to do what, find some trans person buying a dildo and send a local cop out to bust their taillight? Seriously, they've all got better stuff to do.

None of us are that important, unless we start using those cards to smurf funds for terrorists or foreign powers -- THEN we WANT them to notice.

BTW, if you think it is bad here, go check out the rights marginalized people have in RUS or similar authoritarian regimes. What is being fought for is the right to NOT have such an authoritarian govt here.
Most, maybe all, of those options (at least in Canada where I live) also use nitrates, just from e.g. Celery extract. So you also have to know about that trick and look for it.
I agree, but you're looking at everything through an automated ETL workflow which sorta invoke the idea of using a tool like airflow. But generally you don't need that. What you need is a specific set of functionality (training, tuning, testing) so you can either kick off manually when you wanna do things interactively or hook up into a pipeline when you wanna automate things. And yes you can track everything using MLFlow on databricks. Matter of fact Delta Lake is one of the most powerful features as you track not just migrations but data changes, so you can track end-to-end lineage and so far it's the ONLY platform (that I've tested) that allows this with ease.
Do you use terraform without helm (charts)? If not, don't you have to write charts from time to time?
> The First Amendment does not prohibit the private sector from restricting speech.

If it did I wouldn't be here arguing that it should. And let's stop pretending like we are so considered about the private sector and private companies aren't ever subjected to any regulations whatsoever.

> If 1A was extended to private individuals and entities, should the NFL be forced to keep Colin Kaepernick employed after taking a knee?

I honestly couldn't care less about some sports controversies. I'm talking specifically about the banks and basic services like I listed. They simply shouldn't be allowed to gang up on anyone and remove you from a polite society just like that.
64M tons was their answer in another comment.
It is covered in the article that the problem is how it interacts with red meat.
Yandex Images – https://yandex.com/images/ It's much, much better than Google Images. The only Western equivalent that comes close is DuckDuckGo Images.
You’re redefining the word “riot”, drawing an arbitrarily line between allowed/disallowed activities that constitute a riot, and also dressing up riots you agree with in favorable terms by calling them a “sit in”. The definition of “riot” is at https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/riot and all the events I named were unequivocally riots. Their acts were clearly illegal and it’s why they were arrested. Please don’t excuse criminality that agrees with your politics. This is exactly the hypocrisy underlying the spate of censorship that was normalized today.
You get to decide what a ‘legitimate political view’ is? That’s rich.

This is so tone deaf.
For TSMC? perhaps. For customers? Absolutely not. I have zero interest in a future where Apple produces the only general purpose computers containing state of the art silicon.
You have a rosier view of five years ago than I do.

Anyway, demagogues are products of their respective times. To focus on them and their personalities and their rhetoric is to completely miss the forest.

Edit: In fact, that approach is part of what gives them their power. And it certainly makes avoiding their ascent nearly impossible.
Fine, but do their hair-brained ideas and failure to think critically merit shutting them out of public discourse?
They don't understand what bad faith is.

As if smashing doors and climbing through them while armed guards tell you not to with congress fleeing on the other side is not "directly threatened".

The absurdity of these arguments is astounding. What's worse, they seem to be thinking that they are making sense and that there is some global conspiracy on the left to "silence them".

The rest of the world is standing in awe and shock at the US.
Fwiw in my experience, a huge portion. Not that the system is perfect, but it’s trying to do the right things.
AMD had volume requirements through Global Foundries as part of the spin off. This ensured Global Foundries would have initial volume to prop it up until it was viable for other customers.
> Is the police force and now the national guard not controlled by the DC Mayor's office?

No. National Guard units are normally controlled by state governors, but since DC is not a state and has no governor, the DC National Guard is the only guard unit that reports directly to the president [1].
