In Sydney, your primary concern is heat. In Chicago, your primary concern is cold. They have different strategies to combat. I.e. good blinds could cut your cooling bill 50% in Sydney. Good blinds will not make a dent in your Chicago bill..
See my other response, but the theory is that high fat diets make more energy evailablw for use, rather than storing it in adipose (fat) tissue. This makes someone more energetic, which is how a high fat diet can result in weight loss at the same calorie intake, but still have the energy balance equation work out.
I am absolutely 100% pro-vaccination. Have had both my children vaccinated.

That said I have seen firsthand how the exact attitude you express drives people into the other camp. You cannot go around casually suggesting taking people's children away. We must encourage dialog and facts. We must engage with people on a basis of respect - even if it is a combatative respect. High handedness and vocal repression do not work. If you believe legislative enforcement is the way to go then you can advocate for that. But don't start bandying about speculative punishments.

Well, source code under GPLv3 would prevent this too. The source code is one building block, but it's not the only one. It does seem like a necessary building block to begin with, though. Otherwise, how could you make the hardware do what you want it to do if you don't even have access to modify what it's currently doing?
Prices of Energize IDE in 1992:

Single user: $5425
Five users: $2975 each
Ten users: $3250 each

A single Energize C++ compiler was slightly more than $1000.

On top of that Energize was a relatively complex piece of software. Probably it would also have been a good idea to have a capable UNIX desktop machine, which even in 1992 wasn't that cheap.

The whole thing was aimed at professional C++ programmers in a relatively limited market of 'mission critical applications'.

Completely off on a tangent: A good friend of mine, getting on in years, just this weekend told me a story about the time he met one half of the composer-team behind that song, Benny Andersson of ABBA, at the absolute height of his fame somewhere in the mid to late seventies. Pleasant and low-key, almost self-effacing, superstardom or not. Someone tried to pull a fast one on him, and my friend, in a professional capacity, had to intercede. "Nah, let it be", said Benny in a very quiet Swedish way, "I can probably afford it".
in all seriousness, why not?

These are, frankly, crap arguments because they flat out ignore one major factor - we're already paying for access to the internet. So is Google, Netflix, and every other company out there. None of this is, in a NN world, free in the first place; nobody is getting a free ride on someone else's network.

> I have only seen vague bullshit till now.

Then you haven't been paying attention. Sorry, that's rude, but it's the truth. There have been plenty of well thought out and presented arguments created by the EFF and by a number of pundants across the internet. Even Google supported NN before they decided they can afford the double dipping in exchange for a higher barrier to competition.

Do more than berate people on a forum for being angry about the very foundations of a free (as in speech) internet being torn asunder; do some basic research for yourself and you'll find them.

Alternatively, just look at the rest of the world for a view of a non-NN future. ISPs have already demonstrated that they will use the lack of enforced neutrality to promote their own services in an unfair way, such as applying artificial limits on Netflix but not their own on-demand video services. They raise the prices of internet services while simultaneously removing our options. How is that in any way good for consumers?
You said, and I quote, "it's Linux-specific" and I was demonstrating that it's not Linux-specific.

I also question your point that it's "OS-specific" because I'm pretty sure I had to handle the permission logic myself in the hobby file systems I've written (albeit they were compiled against FUSE rather than kernel objects). However I don't have any examples to hand which I can provide to that end. Hopefully a more experienced file system developer can jump in here as to whether this behavior is controlled by the OS or by the file system. However the fact that you can alter it's behavior via mount options would also suggest I'm right.

I picked it from scalaz, and didn't have to go far to find an example.
the argument about vsync and framebuffers seems mistaken. vsync only prevents partial renderers, not full renders, so disabling it does not remove latency in most cases,

this article makes it sound like there is some magical way to draw directly into the buffer without it being redrawn, which is not true. the best you can get is a chance of faster drawing because you can write into the buffer is its being drawn... (and probably get some tearing)

the idea that compositing is somehow slower is also very misleading... how exactly is a stacked renderer faster?

i think the author is blaming a poor implementation on technical details that they only partly understand.
More and more ports are going automated. Since the containers are uniform in size the CV required is pretty basic and very fast. Most container ships are only in port for a few hours and they can load and unload a lot of containers. I think by the time anyone realizes things are off it could be too late.
When you have to threaten someone on your team, you've reached rock-bottom as a manager; all you're really accomplishing is convincing your team to leave for greener pastures.
Your application renders a frame then the compositor gets it and does its transformations, if any. The composited result is then rendered to the screen thus adding one frame of latency. That's why the article says one solution would be to get a 144Hz monitor, it would reduce the time between frames so an extra frame of latency wouldn't be as bad.

You could potentially reduce this delay as well by having the application and the compositor in communication. Since rendering is going to be synced to vblank if you can get the application to not try to sync as well and instead just notify the compositor when it is done drawing a frame you could potentially get the application drawing and the compositor drawing in the same vblank interval. This is what Wayland and DRI3 Present let you do in the Linux world, I assume Windows has something similar but you'd need to opt-in to it so I bet nothing uses it.
To make things even more confusing, “half two” means 2:30 in the UK and Ireland.
True; to me the value of these articles is to somehow reify some implicit ideas about management into explicit concepts/names so I can realize their existence and structure my mind.

Is there a website that demonstrates the effects of latency after pressing a key? I know there's examples of different frame rates shown with moving circles, but I don't think that's quite the same.

I mean is there really a noticeable difference between say 20 and 40 ms?

Really fast for rendering but slows my whole system when watching video.

The biggest drawback for me is that I have taken Chrome's PDF support for granted. I love being able open PDFs inside of the browser and then save them from there to whichever directory I choose. With Firefox I have to save a copy to the Downloads folder and open that in Preview prior to exporting a new copy to where I want to save it.

Also miss the print preview in Chrome.

We'll see how long with experiment lasts for me. I love how much easier Google has made my life over the years but I would like to move away from their browser.
To which MadcapJake responded "Would you care to elaborate", and you responded "I did, in my original comment, immediately following the accusation."

fPI will isolate every first-party domain as much as the browser can, including HSTS and other security related properties.

This means that if you visit example.com and then initech.com and both load a tracker from evilshit.org, then the tracker will see too completely fresh browser installs, not even HSTS will be setup if it was used.

Basically, every domain you type into the URL address bar behaves as if it was a unique container.

>Senior developers know that wasting two days fighting would be better spent elsewhere.

I disagree. Sometimes, yes, but most of the time, no. Two days fighting can save years of maintenance costs (and I'm assuming productive fighting, not fighting for the sake of it). Ever developed on a not-well-thought out database model? No foreign keys? No consistent naming? Dates as varchar? You're stuck with it. It not only causes more defects in existing code, it makes enhancements harder and more prone to defects.

But it's hard to speak up on such things. It much easier, mentally, to just say screw it and write the bad code, especially if someone is non-confrontational by nature.
I know this is a story about Apple.. but you are spot on, the Thinkpad, especially the IBM versions were the best laptops. I used a Thinkpad from the mid 90's right up till they sold to Lenovo. I had an x41 for years, one of my favorites... and like you said, all the parts were replaceable.

Continuous Learning: An Interview with LaunchDarkly Co-Founder John Kodumal
But it's not just applicable to lousy software. Even great software is never perfect and making tradeoffs about the design or architecture, or even just the timing of when different components, refactorings, etc. are implemented can be reasonably considered tech debt.

Debt is a liability that you typically need to make payments against; preferably at predictable intervals and of predictable amounts.

Every known (and significant) bug, that isn't fixed, is tech debt. Presumably something has to be done about the effects of the bug and that something has a cost. Fixing the bug then is paying down the associated debt.

With Compositing enabled, both with DWM and on GNU/Linux, the whole interaction seems to become "soft" instead of the raw that feels much nicer and snappy. From my experience it also has to do with passing through the stack to the GPU when compositing, running it all from the CPU is what makes it feel snappy.

I've also been researching about removing the triple buffer vsync on W10. It seems it was possible in the first builds by replacing some system files, but that option is gone now with the recent big releases.

As of that, I do not see the real reason why compositing would be needed on W10, as transparency and etc arent important factors.

It's a lot easier to optimize the APIs underlying those scripts because there are far fewer of them in even the most complicated video games than there are comparable abstractions in modern OSs.

Gravitational wave detection is nowhere near the first step to any sort of warp drive. In fact it is looking the like the nail in the warp drive coffin. I, and no doubt many others here, was hoping the new detectors would be picking up all sorts of tiny wave sources buzzing around us, a civilization of warp drives just beyond our previous limits of observation. But no, no tiny warp signatures. We are still alone. If ET is in our local galaxy he isn't using warp drives, only reducing their possibility.

For the record, the expansion "... his" is considered "folk etymology": a reanalysis from the Early Modern English period in the language's history. Notice for example how it doesn't make sense for feminine words: "Mary's house".

Sure. I didn't want them in my projects for reasons that varied from project to project. Sometimes it was that I did not want money involved in the culture of some of my smaller projects. At other times it was because the overhead of dealing with bounties would be counterproductive to the project, since it was likely to lead to low-value contributions that fulfill a bounty but are not up to the level of quality that the project demands of its contributions. "What do you mean you won't accept this patch? It was paid for by a dozen users!" For one of my projects, we have an internal bounty program which I am more effectively able to exercise a greater degree of control over and make the terms more clear about upfront.

None of this is why a bad actor, it's just why it's a bad fit for my projects (and to be honest, many others). Why they're a "borderline bad actor" is what I said earlier:

>It was a pain in the ass to get them to remove my projects from their platform and then they only "sort of" did.

I could also clarify that BountySource is opt-out: by default they're accepting bounties for projects that did not agree to having a bounty program.
