How do you position your neck during the squat? I.e. do you try to look at the ceiling, or do you gaze at the floor? I ask because my football coach gave me the "look at the ceiling" advice back in the 80's - which was a standard movement cue back then, designed to help maintain lumber extension - and so I suffered neck pain after squatting for years.

The more modern advice to maintain a neutral spine and let one's gaze rest somewhere below horizontal has made squatting a pain-free experience for me.

There was a plot point in the film, "The Lives of Others," where the East German police keep a registration and fingerprint of all typewriters, and find a document written on an unregistered typewriter.

The precedents for machine identity go way back. The only difference is at least here, you don't need a license or registration for a printer, albeit you do in effect for a mobile device.

Trampling of open content is a part of wider tendency of governments everywhere in the world to suppress and reverse automation by passing labor-intensive laws and subsidizing labor-intensive businesses. Every time we make progress with automation, they invent more work for us to do.

Open content is up to 100 times more popular. It therefore requires up to 100 times less work to satisfy demand. They just cannot let this happen.

This follows from the strange ethic of valuing hard work over efficiency. Labor is sacred. Avoidance of work is considered amoral. Economic output is supposed to be split according to the amount of work done, at least in theory. Any other alternative is considered communist. In order to maintain this moral system, people must be made to work even if the work is useless or subversive.

There was a video explaining how to pronounce SUSE several years ago (both funny and a little worrying that such a video was necessary)[1]. It is pronounced strangely since it was a German name and so you have to put on your best German impression to get the "s" sound right.

All jokes aside, I think most folks would agree that SUSE's marketing really needs to be reworked very significantly.

I think the idea of showing runtime data in various forms to help programmers understand what their programs do is a great idea with a lot of promise — it's my main research area. And this demo shows a plausible way to get some of that in Python, which is great.

But I still wonder if anyone writing actual algorithms would find this useful, and if so what exactly they'd find useful. I'd really like to see the field of UIs for programming get clearer on what data is useful to show to which programmers in what form and when.

"X as a Service" is a common enough term that someone is more likely to have heard it before, and it accurately describes what it is (if the X is accurate).

"Serverless" is deliberately wrong and misleading.

One of those stupid "entire website in a page" would be a better fit for "server less" because technically the logic is all client side.
What this calls for is fixing / streamlining process, and awareness of context-shift costs of path-dependent processing.

The "have multiple projects, or alternatively, 'scuttwork' model, likely makes most sense. A list of noncritical-but-evergreen tasks that don't require heavy cognitive load is useful. Shoring up docs, drilling on procedures, interviewing, studying new skills or tools, etc. (Retail has a similar concept for sales associates durring slack time.)

Another is to tighten or parallelise, and prioritise and reward the review process. Both familiarity and unfamiliarity with the code base can be useful -- quick assimilation, and fresh eyes / expanded institutional awarenesss and knowledge (plus increased Bus Number).
Uhh WINE so unreliable. The summer when I started high school (like 7 years ago or something like that?) I played Skyrim in WINE in my shitty ass laptop. No kidding, it was an extremely good experience. My laptop was ~$800 and wasn't a gaming PC. I was running archlinux with some unknown version of WINE. The setup was super easy, I don't remember spending time on instaling Skyrim. The game was 100% working.

Then I tried this one more time the summer I started college (3 years ago?) It was working but lagging, and sound wasn't working, and some controls weren't working and it was randomly crashing. But it was still playable.

Then I tried it one more time this summer when I graduated from college. I spent an entire week and couldn't get it done. At some point I was applying patches in C and recompiling Wine which apparently fixed something? I also spent a lot of time trying to find the Wine version and Skyrin executable I used 7 years ago. For the love of God I, a CS graduate, couldn't get something my high school self done.

If you find something working in Wine, save the executable and Wine version. There is no guarantee any other combination will work. But I swear to god, 7 years ago whatever Wine+Skyrim combo I used was working flawlessly, I can't imagine it working any better in Windows back then.
ETA: I don't think we disagree at all. I slightly misread your second sentence before hitting "reply". I'll keep this reply in place because I think it amplifies and adds to your point.

Hawking radiation is always present around a dynamical black hole -- it is produced by the dynamical spacetime itself[1]. (All black holes that aren't eternal -- that includes any that form by gravitational collapse of matter -- are dynamical, and thus have Hawking radiation, even while they're growing.)

In principle we should be able to detect Hawking radiation as black holes first form, since it will backreact with the black hole, and probably even interact with the collapsing matter. Studying BH-forming supernovae and the like will lead to discoveries in this difficult area of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semiclassical_gravity as hot Hawking radiation is in principle directly observable, and there will be indirect traces.

The problem is that BH formation typically happens in a bright environment. The candidate black holes we know about aren't that young and as a result the Hawking gas will be cold enough to have negligible impact: basically no interaction with nearby matter, basically no backreaction on the black hole itself, and much colder than the surrounding environment (infalling matter including the CMB gas) and thus in practice impossible to detect directly with telescopes.

- --

[1] Well, more precisely, given Einstein-Maxwell electrovacuum and general relativity with a black hole metric, Hawking radiation is inevitable. Hawking's original work dealt with a static spacetime (i.e., an eternal, unchanging black hole) and used negative energy quanta as a trick to proxy for a dynamic spacetime. Using a dynamical black hole (i.e., one that grows and shrinks), one does not need negative energy quanta at all, much less a mechanism which tosses only those halves of pairs into the BH (in order to keep the metric unchanged from pure static Schwarzschild).
My justification is blacklisting rather than whitelisting. You are not born guilty and have to prove you are of a good character. Just because you can commit a crime does not mean we should ban everything you can use to commit crime.

If I link to Venom the movie I still have permission from the pirate bay to link to it. The pirate bay or the uploader (who actually created the file itself and the description to that file) will be the author. [if you don't think the uploaded is the author of the new file checkout what you get charged for in the UK for downloading a child pornography file -> creating a NEW child pornography file. obvs not supporting child porn but i still feel this is a bit excesive]

Like links are nothing more than pointers. It's like saying if you had permission from the author of this book can you only tell other people.

As for the permanent copyright -> Your work is not original it's a remix (there is a great video on youtube). You never come up with an original idea. It's always influenced by others. So this kinda kills the whole "original idea" myth we have. Let's say you have to write a short story no more than 5 words. There are just N possible combinations you can do. What you should have copyright until the universe ended because you wrote every single combination? Just because you were the first person to go to the moon does not mean you own the moon. Why should it be any diff with the 5 words sentance you were asked to write?

'Proton is a tool for use with the Steam client which allows games which are exclusive to Windows to run on the Linux operating system. It uses Wine to facilitate this.'

How to read infinite jest
No one who has any technical competence is “confused” by the term “serverless”. No one thinks that thier code is being run by unicorns and fairies.

It’s more like people yelling at the wind or thinking they are intellectually superior because they are in on the little secret that servers are involved.
And here is why I can't seem to get AirBnB to work for me. Along with most people refusing pets. I travel with my dog a lot. She's AKC Good Citizen certified. Though that doesn't often mean much, it at least indicates I put up the money and time to try to signal that I do care about how my dog behaves.

The problem is I don't have any reviews. My work refuses to let me use AirBnB, so I can't use my work trips to build up good reviews. I've heard that hosts tend to be a bit more cool with work-related rentals if you disclose your employer so they can shame you if you wreck the place.

I'm left with very slim pickings when I do personal travel and every time my booking requests get rejected. AirBnB just seems to be this really insular community where if you don't fit a very precise profile or travel during your destination's off-season (meaning they're desperate for a booking) you're just up the creek.

It's just easier to book an actual B&B or "Suite" style hotel with a clear pet policy and fee schedule than to fight with vacation rentals.
in my opinion this is a total misunderstanding of the situation:

1. people are being taken advantage of
2. law is introduced to make it harder to take advantage of people
3. scummy people still try and take advantage by trying to confuse their users

and now please tell me why i should be on the scummy person side again?

you don't need a cookie notification if you don't serve cookies for other people. and you don't need any GDPR notifications if you are not selling sharing or needlessly storing peoples data.

you are going to websites run by scummy people, that is the problem not the law.

in essence if you are not shitty to people these laws really don't have much impact.

> it makes sense to treat GCC (actually "the C89 standard plus GCC extensions") as the standard.

While that might have been the case, this announcement says that one of the many reasons to stop using VLAs is to allow the kernel to be compiled with clang. The announcement reads like being able to compile the kernel with other compilers is a very desirable property, that has taken many years of hard work to achieve due to the incorrect assumption that "GCC is the C standard".

So while that assumption might have made sense back then, it does not appear to make sense now. If you treat one compiler as "the standard", chances are that that's the only compiler that you will ever be able to use. That's a bad strategic decision for a big project like the Linux kernel.
I am exhausted from having these people be in constant sight over the last two years. Hate speech is a fire that feeds on emotions, and there seem to be a lot of feelings in the air these days.

Kinda disappointed this seems to be yet another WINE wrapper with some extra stuff piled on, though I'm not sure what else I could've expected it to be.

I long ago lost interest in PC gaming, both from the lack of cross-platform compatibility, and due to the fact that a great graphics card alone easily costs as much as a console these days.

I've never played a WINE-wrapped video game or application that did not feel like a half-baked version of it's native application. It's usually things like fonts and strange aliasing that are a complete and dead giveaway. Small aesthetic issues like that completely ruin an otherwise immersive experience for me.

I'm glad WINE exists, but I honestly sort of wish they'd just stick to supporting applications more, and pretty much just forget the gaming side. It's never going to get to an equivalent level, because Windows' gaming technology keeps moving forward.

Two people start running a race. One of them starts when the gun fires. The other one sits and waits, decides it wants to follow the first runner every step of the way, and starts several minutes (or years, in this metaphor) behind the first.

Even if this second runner (WINE) could run as fast as the first (Windows), it would never catch up. And that's assuming it could run as fast as a multi-billion-dollar company.

WINE can, simply, never reach a point of compatibility that even most major console emulators have. Because, unlike consoles, Windows keeps on moving.

Let's face it. None of us are running *nix or MacOS for the sake of gaming. If you want to run a desktop OS for gaming, there is one. Yes, it's not free, but neither are games. Windows is, at this point, just part of the initial cost of PC gaming, just like a couple extra controllers might be for a console.

"human errors" is rather vague. Does that include pilots violating standards? Bad guidance from ATC? Making a poor call during an emergency? Letting a plane go into service with maintenance violations? Doing maintenance incorrectly?
nope.. that is the point of these laws - if you are doing decent stuff they don't really make a difference. if you are doing dodgey stuff you just have to tell people you what you are up to.. but dodgey people don't like telling people they are dodgey - hence all the moaning!
You are totally right. My #1 annoyance is research and demos in this space, that don't consider your question. That is why I think it is important that this project aims to tackle problems outside my control, that are genuinely hard to understand (Google Code Jam problems).

My plan was basically to work my way through past problems, for each one thinking specifically about that problem - ok, what's hard here, what would help me solve this, where did I go wrong with this, then adding those features to Algojammer.

Then when Code Jam comes around again, I can really test it in a very falsifiable way.

I need a break and more time so I'm not going to be working on this for a while but I'm 100% on your side. Do you have any links to your research?
Do you need to be storing this data forever? I don’t know how your application works, but you could always require some kind of payment from users to be able to store a file for more than a week or two. If you don’t need to store data in perpetuity, your storage costs and the overhead of storing that much data should go down significantly.

I get that it's a German company and that they can name it what they want, but I also think it's part of the problem. The only reason I know the correct pronunciation is because I was in a class with a Swiss person who made reference to it.

More generally, it's an example of why I think that, for US companies, "weird" names are a bad idea. People don't like to sound stupid and something as simple as a name that's difficult to pronounce, or sounds odd can limit adoption of your product.

easyanticheat is by far the worst i've ever experienced. That was the one that would crash if it saw pcap.dll, and I use virtualbox as my VM software of choice so that could be part of it as well.

The fan control system is a bit weird since it's a pretty unknown little program, but it took me a while to find because at least easyanticheat wouldn't tell me which program was causing the error, so I had to manually close them until it worked. This is what actually put me over the edge and made it so I'll never buy another game with easyanticheat again unless they significantly rework how much access and power they need.

There are so many games out there now, and so many different developers and styles, that I don't need to put up with these kind of problems to play a good game. Especially when that software is almost always beatable by how often I'd still see cheaters in the games, which meant that the only ones being punished by this are the lazy hackers, or paying customers.

It depends on how obvious the lie is. If someone says "The earth is both flat and made of cheese", they are so obviously wrong that you could afford to just rely on the reader's common sense. But if they say "the economy grew by Y percent for the first time in Z years", it's unlikely the reader has the facts necessary to recognize this as a lie immediately on hand.

For less obvious lies, it would be helpful to lead with the truth (see the primacy effect on memory). After stating the truth, then you can say "but politican X said Y".
