The amdgpu driver really changes that. With NVIDIA you have to choose between an open source driver (nouveau) that has quite some problems or a proprietary driver that does not really integrate well with the rest of the platform. E.g. for a long time you could not use Wayland with the proprietary NVIDIA drivers because they had implemented a different API for device memory allocation (via EGLStreams) [1]. In contrast, AMD is actively contributing to the open source amdgpu driver and builds their proprietary AMDGPU-PRO driver on top of that.

I have recently switched from an NVIDIA Quadro card to an AMD FirePro card. I use GNOME/Wayland and the difference is quite big, with NVIDIA on nouveau, there was regularly flickering (at random moments), artifacts and other problems. The FirePro with the amdgpu driver on the other hand works completely flawless on my machine.

> The pressure from consumers is in the favor of slimmer, sleeker gadgets. This causes manufacturers to use production techniques that make repairing impossible.

Is anyone actually crying out for thinner devices? Or do we just keep getting them foist upon us as the result of some pointless thin-ness arms race manufacturers have gotten themselves into.

I strongly suspect it's the latter: we keep buying thinner (and this is wrongly perceived as demand for thinner devices) because the only options we get are for thinner devices.
Exactly. I fast for 6 days, no problem (after 3 days of torture). Right now, I have enough excess weight to survive for 40 days without food. And I know what hypoglycemia is like: lots of swimming all day as a kid; it feels like you're gonna die unless you eat something. Hypoglycemia should be rare unless someone either over-exerts themselves and depletes all glycogen reserves (IIRC fat burning isn't a fast process) or have some metabolic issues like diabetes.

To risk being that "hey, will you fix my computer/heath/car" jerk: I received this odd recommendation from my PCP: metformin for non-T2 diabetics is supposedly "dangerous" because "it lowers blood sugar." I was tolerating 1500 mg, no problem, with few side-effects other than losing weight faster (which was great). This doesn't make sense because there's nothing in the literature or warnings about it lowering blood glucose dangerously. So then how in tarnation would it (a now cheap generic, no less) in an FDA phase 4 clinical trial as the first and, so far, only "anti-aging" medication because it does something to promote healthier metabolic and other pathways?

Thank you for that NYT link, it is much more informative. The techcrunch article is strange, it debunked it's own headline but still kept the focus on Equifax.

I don't think anyone would say this with any negativity towards the folks who are developing the nouveau driver. Given the circumstances that they are working under (no useful help from the vendor), they have done heroic work.

But I think you are missing the point here and that is: if you want to buy a GPU now for a Linux machine and you don't want to use a big proprietary blob, AMD is by far the best choice, because the amdgpu driver outperforms the nouveau driver.
Sure it does. You can have a collection of 5 objects and a collection of 2 objects. Push them together and you have 7 objects. But for whatever reason you just can't push any combinations together to form (a multiple of?) 6, or break up any larger group in such a way that one of the resulting pieces would have six elements. If you did it'd instantly break up into smaller clumps of 1-5 elements, or disappear, or whatever.

This isn't even that crazy. Sulfur with atomic weights 32, 33, 34, and 36 are stable. S-35 is extremely unstable and decays rapidly enough to be dangerous. You could say that 35 doesn't exist in the world of sulfur. You can start with S-32 and throw a neutron at it and get S-33. Do it again and you get S-34. Do it again and you get.. chloride. But hit S-34 with two neutrons and you get stable S-36.

The universe just doesn't allow 35 it seems, for some sulfur-centric definition of "allow."

I thought the article was going to be more interesting than it actually was, to be honest. I thought the experts would talk about benzene and its six carbon atoms, and how a vital molecule needed for life would not be possible and the ramifications of that. Instead benzine got just an off-hand remark.

Or the kind of mathematical system you'd get if you struck out multiples of six, and what implications that might have for physics and chemistry. Or whether a game of life is possible on a six-state (0..5) grid and if life could plausibly evolve, etc.

Instead we got a boring counting argument that was trivially defeated :\
(1) If you have wealth in a society, you have more to lose from its downfall than the average Joe. Counterpoint: you can now afford to hedge your bets, financially, and flee.

(2) It takes skill and savvy to make money. Overweighting their influence will produce a fitter society. (Interesting aside: British university graduates and property owners got double, sometimes triple, votes through 1948 [1].) Counterpoint: this requires high intergenerational income mobility. A lack of mobility from the lower classes up is a problem in the long run, but a lack of mobility from the upper classes down is toxic in the short: you'll have idiots with tuborcharged influence.

As to lobbying, that's unavoidable in a democracy. You will need insiders to explain the system to legislators. Banning lobbying means forcing the legislature to make decisions in the dark.

So, what are we going to do instead then? Let the manufacturer decide what they want to pay for?

That is not an apt analogy.

The resources of a nation state were not required to hack equifax.. a kid with a laptop could have done it.

This is a consumer trust and safety issue because basic care was not taken to protect the data that Equifax was trusted with guarding.

If it turns out that a nation state is the one that carried out the hack.. then that's a national security issue AND a consumer trust and safety issue. But that doesn't excuse gross incompetence.

Yes I found the wikipedia page later but it was confusing the first time around. The second data point on customers is intuitive though.

I just wish there was a "what is this?" explanation somewhere. Maybe a hover over text like the one showing - promoters vs detractors.
I am famous to maybe six people. So, it's not much. However, I wanted to add an account to this.

I can tell you the exact moment, problem, response, and teacher - that changed my life forever. It was at that single moment that I understood mathematics. I wasn't suddenly good at it. No, I still pretty much sucked at math. But, I understood it was a language and it was descriptive.

Many years later, that same teacher would be there to help me celebrate defending my dissertation. I didn't actually march, I was already to busy by the time spring rolled around. He's an old man, now. I still stop in and we are still fast friends.

That one comment changed my life. There's a not insignificant chance that it has had a small impact on your life, assuming you've been impacted by modern traffic engineering, or in some pedestrian venues, or had some goods delivered. All that from a single comment that is entirely obvious, in retrospect.
I settled on that as the default because it's slow enough to clearly show it working from simple use (e.g. you don't need to open elinks to see it's slow) but fast enough to not discourage playing around with it.

Of course, there's a -b option that takes any rate between 50 and 57600 baud (the upper limit there because I'm not sure if it would keep up).
How design agencies communicate themselves?
Well there are six quarks. By a variant of the one-electron universe theory, we might argue that all quarks are shared instances of the same prototypical quark of that class. If we begin counting with 0, that's "5" quarks. So the answer is maybe: this universe is what you get!

Your sarcasm is misplaced because you didn't pay attention to the growth of the Linux gaming market. Check contributions to Mesa by Valve, Feral and others.

One could even argue that it did indeed happened "here". Take a look at recent Iraq invasion under President Bush. Least at least 8 years, at cost of 150-650 thousands (!!) of lives lost, about 110,000 civilians included... and what happened other than few street riots and march under White House? Nothing! Absolutely nothing! Average American family continues to live average american life and even as we still don't know why this war was started, life goes on :(

Eh, they don't have to (cf Eve), they just decided not to and so they've largely missed the chance for more interesting and sticky player driven story (cf Eve) by following EQ's model of "here's what you do next kids".
This is spot on.

The biggest reason why lists matter so much is because. Most data structure use cases in everyday life are lists, or lists of lists(Tables). Of course you have graphs and trees. But for all practical purposes, most problems there are, are either lists or tables. Excel will benefit, if they add optional tree and graph interfaces. Like you get an option to build a graph of how your business things are connected and help you figure the shortest steps to a solution etc.

And yes if you want to build a Microsoft Excel killer. Please build a thick client desktop application which is as feature rich as a Excel and give it away for free. Charge for the cloud usage. Anything less isn't going to cut it.

Excel is just way ahead of anything that is out there. The only competing product I've seen is Libreoffice Calc. But even that has a long way to go.
> if you want to buy a GPU now for a Linux machine and you don't want to use a big proprietary blob, AMD is by far the best choice, because the amdgpu driver outperforms the nouveau driver.

No doubt, I said so explicitly elsewhere in this thread. I.e. that on Linux Nvidia will lose its current dominance.
2 of the 3 here said they own equipment that only John Deere can work on and they do not like it. Their impression appears to be that “nowadays” the tractors have computers in them, which necessitates a technician with skills beyond that of a country mechanic. I get the sense they either have bigger problems or that they just feel helpless so would rather not know. In the case of the latter, they are probably right but I don’t think I have the heart to tell them. Similar to the neighbor, I see these guys at the local cafe somewhat regularly. I am very much a city folk haha, just visiting.

Whats interesting in recent years it came up that children in Germany were learning about "Polish concentration camps", highly alluding that those places had more to do with polish people than with Germans (that they were of polish evil invention and ran by polish people).

Source? I really don't think anything like this is taught in German schools.
AMDGPU beats Nvidia proprietary blobs on every measure. Stability, Performance (Vega 64s hanging with 1080Ti in some games), ease of installation. Especially now that both the kernel developers and AMD are making a concerted effort to integrate the driver into the kernel.
For block-of-text transfer between computer and phone I use qrencode [1] to encode text on my computer as a QR code, Barcode Scanner [2] on my Android phone to read the text or generate a QR code from text on the phone, and QtQR [3] to scan a code on the phone screen using my laptop webcam.

The QR code detection in QtQR is a bit uncomfortable (you need to press a key to confirm, while holding the phone into the camera) and requires me to set my phone screen to maximum brightness, but otherwise it works quite well. It doesn't really solve the problem for large files like images, but I have successfully used it with long HN comments I started on my phone but wanted to finish on my laptop.

This came up when I signed up for cryonics. Interestingly, Alcor requires that you donate your body on death to their organization for research purposes, and they will not operate on you (what they believe to be a life-saving procedure) until you are legally declared dead. The reason is precisely that cadavers for medical research are basically entirely unrelated and are classified as private property, not human remains. So Alcor (a cryonics organization that strives to preserve its 'patients' for future revival) insists on having its patients declared dead and and donated so as to not be considered human remains, so that they can save the essence of what makes you human. A clever trick.

The way to get better security is to let the free market system work as its intended: Equifax should die a painful death by the masses, if necessary piecemeal one lawsuit at a time until the company coffers have been emptied (and preferably any directors, agents, vested entities, and anyone else within a legally-defensible stone's throw). It may sound harsh, but that's life and life ain't fair.

That's the only way to send a message strong enough that if you are going to operate an IT business, which is what Equifax is, and you have poor security, you will not be protected by the government.

In fact, protecting Equifax and other companies who fail to properly maintain adequate security will send a message to other corporations that this kind of behavior will be tolerated, and these companies may be incentivized to not invest in their security. I've seen situations exactly like this play out at companies before. If the rules of the market suddenly change, so will the industry.

And why should we risk the stability of an entire industry because of one company? The security problems aren't going away, even if we decide to create laws that say they don't matter -- they will still be there at the end of the day, and someone will be able to exploit them. It's bad for business, bad for consumers, and ultimately bad for whatever government is foolish enough to create such policy.

So these are some of the benefits that you can get whenever you take the male enhancement pills. There are much more, so you shouldn't think twice in buying these pills, if you wish to reap all these benefits.

A lot of men have been discussing about the best male enhancement pills that can treat their dysfunctions and somehow help to enhance the overall size of their organ. For others, the size of the male organ might not be a big deal, but we cannot deny the fact that the majority of women would still prefer the ones that are well-endowed.
