What diagnostics software do you use for Windows (7 and up)?
Looking for recommendations of hardware diagnostics utilities, that check things like processor, memory, disks (HDD/SSD/CD/DVD) and other peripherals. Used to use such utilities a lot earlier, both for work (partly when a system engineer, but mostly on Unix) and for learning/fun, and had written a rudimentary one or two, but haven't been using them lately, so not aware of current ones. Could include ones built-in to the OS or third-party, and free or paid.

Thanks in advance for answers.
My thoughts exactly, however, I could imagine printing something like this as a starting place / skeleton for further additions.
> So the catalyst isn't renewable

Is it not? Not being used up is kind of the definition of "catalyst" though, so while it might need maintenance/recycling (due to mechanical changes, or contamination) it probably can be reused after processing.
I think the core of the idea is that formic acid is easier to synthesize than other hydrocarbon fuels, while being easier to handle than pure hydrogen. It's also split into hydrogen and CO2 in this process, not burned, which could happen cleaner than practical combustion?

What's the current state of the DMCA in the US? Is it now legal to circumvent DRM in order to backup titles you own? (Not that circumventing DRM will always be feasible for the casual user - see last generation of Amazon DRM for example).

If circumventing DMCA is still illegal in and off itself, I'd be careful by advising people to break the law, without making it clear that they risk some serious penalties in many jurisdictions.

What's the current status of inheriting DRMed works? I know that I'll be able to read the books and comics I inherit - but I'm not so sure about the kindle eBooks - without gaining access to the account of the deceased - assuming it remains active for long enough to do so?

I strongly suspect that Europe would be spending more money on defense particularly against Russia and maybe China if America weren't backing them.

America also contributes to international military endeavors more than any other countries, like the UN peacekeepers. I'm not an expert by any means.

Fixation of a neutral allele within the population is proportional to its frequency in the population. So, even something that is initially useless can linger in the population, and even become fixed within the population. If that neutral allele is lingering in the population at a low frequency and suddenly becomes advantageous, there will subsequently be strong signals of selection at that locus.
There are four points on the political compass. I'm not sure that I'd agree with their use of the word 'fascist,' however.

"It was a self-contained, Turing complete, programmable machine no larger than a suitcase" - False

Languages can be Turing complete. ISAs (Instruction Set Architectures) can be Turing complete. Machines... um, no, not of present design. That infinite tape provides infinite memory including infinite register space. Hard to duplicate with a real machine. There's a limit to the largest number you could square on an IBM PC, so it's not Turing complete - in other words, there are functions it can't calculate, even given infinite time.

Arrogant because they confuse past success with actual skill and loud mouths because they spend so much time pumping their copy cat investments to get people to focus on their "me too" efforts rather than their competitors' "me too" efforts.
While this might provide short term convenience, we lack the human ethics and the engineering discipline for this not to be abused.

>The people actually maintaining all the distros didn't all switch to systemd within a few years for no reason.

They switched out of prospect having unmaintainable initscripts and having DEs being turned useless. RH/SystemD liaisoning with distro maintainers at around 2013 can be said to be trollish blackmail.

Again, the point here is how apaling is the conduct of RH/SystemD core developers. SystemD could've been treated as a simple piece of bad software, if not for the group of people pushing it having such toxic personalities.

You do not confront trolling with bugreports and patches.
From what I've read on Mises they are big on numbers, data, citing sources and logic. They don't deserve to be grouped with the others.
Shared immutable data is one option, but what I also mean is that when the type system can guarantee at compile time that the actor sending the data does not have read- or write- access to the data after sending, the system knows it can just "recycle" the old data, without run-time overhead.

Look, just read up on the type system, specifically reference capabilities[0]. It's basically what allows for safe mutability and data passing when required.

Interview with James Gosling, Father of Java. His Life and Times
The point wasn't about outdated morality. It could just as easily be a doctored video of Theresa May stabbing a man to death in cold blood.

I think you've focused too much on the specific examples I gave. Consider a faked video of your SO committing adultery, or a faked video of you committing a crime that's used to convict you, or a video of Merkel saying Putin has erectile disfunction or something.

You can't just analyze these videos for inconsistencies; at some point, the technology becomes more powerful than human ability to discern whether it's real. Then what? What do we do once video evidence becomes unreliable?

Acetaminophen reduces empathy for pain (2016)
I suspect a big reason for this is (and I've seen studied of this specific to ballroom dance, but it seems, in my experience, likely true more generally) is that men are vastly more likely to seek (either initially or as the interaction progresses) sexual or romantic outcomes from such interactions regardless of the overt purpose and to perceive sexual/romantic interest on the part of the other party than women are to have or perceive such interest, which produced all kinds of bad outcomes from the interactions, with men perceiving that women lead them on and women perceiving that men make passes out of the blue.
One would think the Internet offers the biggest catalog, yet here we are - you are free to read your news from any source and I mean any source, however the influence of big media remains. Choice and freedom doesn't mean a better informed audience.
I agree with all of that. And just to be clear, I never disagreed with the principle of your original post. The thing is, for everyone doing it like you (or let's say us, since it sounds like we have a similar approach), there are hundreds of organizations letting the ATS handle it. Unfortunately, everyone else letting the ATS do it is going to harm our efforts indirectly.

I should add that this is probably easy for me to say since I'm outside of a tech hub and also receive a lower volume. If I were getting thousands per vacancy, I'd have to find a different approach, but handing the keys to the ATS is not how I'd want to have it go.

For another point of comparison, has there been a "us vs. them" dynamic in the computer vision community when it comes to deep learning? After all, it seems like deep convolutional networks did sort of railroad there way through a ton of topics in that field. I used to do image analysis research, but moved on before much of this came into play so I lack any sort of inside scoop.

That sources this study:

That study states that "there is moderate evidence that there is no statistical evidence for ... lung cancer".

Now most studies in this area make mention of the fact that even for heavy marijuana smokers, they never smoke as much as a pack a day cigarette smoker. Which is to say, that even though there is more tar in the smoke of marijuana per gram, people don't smoke as much because they don't feel a need to.

That does not mean it is safe, but there is no evidence that it's as bad a cigarettes.

> ways for the common person to verify info

For some sorts of recordings, this seems like the sort of thing that a blockchain should excel at. My camera could submit a proof of work with the cryptographic signature of a recording embedded in it. Presumably, it's expensive to run a GAN or whatever other algorithm to generate a good fake video. So, if the signature was adopted into the blockchain sooner with respect to the timestamp of the recording than how long it would have taken to fake it, future viewers of the video could confirm that the timeline fits.

Of course, this depends on a large-scale discrepancy in those timings. And it's only really useful in cases where the timestamp of the video can be separately established in some manner, such as a publicly-verifiable schedule.

>Unless you mean that some data is shared, but cannot be modified, but this would be semantically identical to not sharing anything.

That's the gist of Rust's borrow checker. Shared data can't be modified (unless you use a Mutex or something similar, but then you need to acquire a lock, so data you can mutate is not shared).
It also depends. The way I look at it is the really good companies know people will seek them out. So to get really good jobs you have to seek them out. I've never really gotten an offer from a good company from a recruiter approaching me.

I ditched both TV and The Economist 20 years ago.

The latter was difficult. I was emotionally attached; it felt good to put that issue on the counter ("I'm smart, informed, discerning!"); and there was nothing else. But alas, as soon as The Economist started with their tech and software focus spreads it quickly dawned on me that these guys just know how to sound authoritative. That was a bad move on their part.
Completely agree. It's not a perfect analogy but if you look at professional sports, the main driver behind higher salaries was publicizing them. Prior to that, owners could pay some star players much lower than their market value simply because they were bad at negotiating.

It's in our interest to have more publicity around salaries.

If you want to learn more about this, then I suggest reading about the several and various initiatives that there have been over the past few years, in the U.K., the U.S.A., and elsewhere, to deal with with the problem of VOIP and mobile telephones. They have included things such as (for example) the idea that the immediately upstream ISP, for VOIP, populates an ESDB/ALIDB with location data that it knows because it knows the physical location of the VOIP connection to its network.

The names that you want to start with are "Enhanced 911" and "Next Generation 911".

> I've always wondered which one of the two is more user friendly - a username or an email?

An email as either a login or the sole recovery mechanism means your user's accounts can be permanently lost (or impossible to create) depending on some other service providers actions. It's pretty much the same problem as OAuth only (relying on external providers), without the convenience benefit of single sign-on.

OTOH, if you are willing to use email-only recovery (and most services are), there is no additional harm in email-only logon.

I agree with you, completely. Secrets are the basis of class disorder.
Typical setups that I've seen break the app up into (micro)services. Each service specializes in one type of "work". You may have API nodes that receive/validate incoming HTTP requests and some worker nodes that do more involved work (like long running tasks, for example). Then you can add more worker nodes as load increases (this is "horizontal" scaling). Your API nodes would be sitting behind a loadbalancer.

Your nodes need to communicate with each other. This could happen over a queue (like RabbitMQ). Some nodes will put tasks onto a queue for other nodes to run. Or each node could provide its own API. There are a lot of strategies here.

All of these services would still connect to a "single" database. For resiliency, you'll want more than one database node. There are plenty of hosted database solutions (both for SQL and NoSQL databases). I've seen lots of multi-master sql setups, but whatever serves your app best.

If your application supports user sessions, you'll have to ensure the node that handles the request can honor the session token. The "best" way of doing this is having a common cache (redis/memcached) where session tokens are stored (if a node gets a session token, just look it up in the common cache). There are other (imo, less attractive) strategies where the loadbalancer is made to be aware of session tokens (it can direct requests with the same session to the same api node, which has a node-local cache of session tokens).

Of course, now your deployment is very complicated. You have to configure multiple nodes, potentially of different service types, which may need specific config. This is where config management tools like ansible/puppet/chef/terraform/etc come up. You can write some code that can deploy and configure your application, in a repeatable consistent way. One thing you can do is create an "image" - this could be a server/vm image or a docker image - a deploy multiple identical servers/containers base on that image, and even have an autoscaler monitor your application nodes and redeploy when it sees a node go down. As you mention, serverless ("Functions as a Service") options are available as alternatives to many of these pieces.

But these are some of the techniques I've seen to deal with high load. You pay a price with all the added complexity, but you get scalability in return. There are lots of tools on public cloud providers (AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, etc). If you have google/facebook/netflix level load, that's a little bit of another story.
I've read before that with "open companies" where they publish all salary data, it can, on occasion, be surprisingly counter productive. I haven't read extensively on the topic, but I believe there are examples of companies who started out making all employee salaries accessible to anyone in the company reverting this division. Famously Steve Jobs ended up doing largely this at Next. At any rate, I think that publishing salaries openly can have its own set of issues, even if on balance I agree it's probably a fairer approach. This is one of those problems that touches on cultural norms though, so what works for one person can offend another.

It's not difficult for me to imagine scenarios were certain employees may overvalue their worth, and take a great deal of offence to a perceived slight when viewing their colleague's remuneration. Humans often aren't good at looking at themselves purely as some kind of commodity to be priced by an open market, even if rationally that might make some sense in this context. People can get scared they will look over-paid, or embarrassed about being underpaid, even if neither of these things is true. There's the whole thorny issue of cost of living adjustments if your company operates in more than one location. The frequent debates I've seen on Gitlab's public salary calculator that tries to address cost of living illustrate how hard it is to get that right - you can get some pretty odd results from that thing just moving your zip code 5 miles in some regions. I imagine you're almost never going to convince everyone that the adjustment factor you choose is the right one.
