The speed of encoding AV1 seems to have increased 60-fold in a fairly short period of time. If it doubles in speed again then it's within the speed range that Netflix said they'd start using it for real (4-10x slower than VP9).

Would be interesting to read about what went into that speedup.

'Popular private companies' have been put under severe pressure by political activist groups such as David Brock's Media Matters to 'deplatform' conservatives. The 'ending of relationships' has not necessarily been due to completely internal decisions of those private companies. Alex Jones is crazy, but you ought to have been more careful in your wording so as not to associate him with anti-Semitism. He is, in fact, a Jewish convert, married to a Jewish woman.
As I interpreted it, that tweet only mentions actions, not speech.

For consideration: Stormfront exists solely to incite neo-Nazis to violence, and its members have murdered almost 100 people (pre-2014, that number is likely higher now)[1]. I wouldn't be shocked or constitutionally worried by a criminal case against them.

When you consider that Gab is really just Web 2.0 Stormfront with extra dogwhistles ("free speech" instead of "murder the Jews/Muslims"), it's not all that surprising that criminal charges are floated.

I didn't know about SHAP graphs that's pretty cool. I'd love to be corrected but it just seems like an ensemble model of LightGBM, Gradient Boosting and Random Forest with 12 features is just overkill. Why ensemble and not just 1 of the three models ? Much less likely to overfit. Looking at the average values BTS their speechiness values are so high compared to others I'm not sure whether those other features are adding anything, seeing featureImportance would be interesting (difficult to infer the relative importance of one feature to another since all we know is the ranking but not the values).

Reminds me that Kierkegaard seems to have written about social media:

"Man, this shrewd being, ponders day and night how he can invent new means to amplify the noise and how he can spread the sound and the empty talk as hastily as possible everywhere. What one achieves in such a way is probably soon the opposite: the message is soon brought to its lowest level of fullness of meaning, and at the same time, conversely, the means of communication in the direction of hasty and all-flooding distribution have probably reached their maximum, for what is more hastily circulated than gossip?"
it's probably not noticeable for a million files

the syscall is going to be many, many orders of magnitude slower than the difference between a direct and an indirect call

Follow the constitution, stop systematic corruption, improve the economy and foment industry creating conditions for 14 million people to go back to work, decentralisation of the central government, maintain the food and housing assistance by the previous government, sell off national companies that are inefficient while retaining and improving the strategic ones, reduce the size of the government from 30 odd ministers to about 15, simplify and remove bureaucracy to make business and the country flow, reform the pension system, reduce the government debt which 50% of its income on interest, open the market to promote more international trade, don't raise taxes and simplify where possible. He will make sure the police force are better equipped with intelligence and arms to combat the organised crime and terrorist groups (FARC) who are far better armed and hopefully that will promote the end of the daily terrorism experienced in the larger cities, reducing the 60,000 killings per annum. Hopefully there will be less kidnapping, less robbery followed by executions, people may be able to walk on the streets at night again. Maybe. Anything that goes against these improvements or any sign of policies that could remove the protection of the most fragile members of society, risks to environment, any type of discrimination, should be repudiated vehemently. There is plenty of good new Federal Deputies and a solid centre (centrao) in the national Congress who will oppose and vote against anything that would harm the democratic society that Brazil has built over the last 30 years. Let's hope the opposition is clever and constructive. Unfortunately, as seen in the past, the opposition tries to sabotage and destruct, working for self interest, rather than for the good of the country. I did not vote for Bolsonaro, he does not represent me. I do not vote for PT or Haddad, they do not represent me. BUT there was a democratic elections and one of them is now responsible to fulfill his promises and the people will be paying a lot of attention. If he does anything stupid, there will be a lot of protests, the people will go to the streets and demand the right thing is done. It is now time to work hard and make it work. Enough division, enough arguments, one nation, no matter gender, skin colour or sexual preference. Let's work together for you and for the country. Wherever your are and live!

This is where you are wrong my friend. Alex Jones audience has suffered on the popular private platforms that banned him. Please don't be under the delusion that he has lost any of his core followers.

The fact that you cannot see them on your platforms does not mean that he is out or lost followers. He simply moved to platforms that you do not visit or are not that much visible on the open internet. The internet does exist outside of FAANG.
For a long time i thought the idea that my reply, not a quote, just a reply, to a tweet gets posted to my main timeline / follower's timelines...is also a bad idea, but I guess this also was designed for 'engagement' too

Honestly, having read many EU standards, they are usually some of the most sensible, reasonable legislation you could ask, on both the consumer and producer side. Most silliness that gets blamed on them is either willfull misinterpretation of the rules ('EU says banana must be straight!'. No, EU says bananas must not be misshapen (by, for example, having a 90 degree bend in the middle of an otherwise normally shaped banana) if they are to be classed above a certain grade), or excessive risk aversion on the part of companies (usually driven by lawyers).

2. Or is it the Bulgarians linking to Romanian content ?

Of course it's stupid. No EU country benefits in any way from this.

These 'laws' are being pushed by the same hegemony 'multi-national' (mostly US?) media organizations that have been actively lobbying (bribing, corrupting, coercing) weak governments around Europe and the world.

That being said, I hope it passes. Actually I hope they pass a law which forces web sites to put up 500 different dialog boxes, overlays, "I agree" check boxes, "Continue" buttons which turn into spinners and never go away, that force you to watch ads and register an account, that auto play 20 videos and load 96MB of ads,
so that it takes you 3 hours to get to the "news" article - a bunch of rumors dressed up as opinion or a well crafted PR article.

News is addictive, useless informational fast food - it's unhealthy, it doesn't provide any useful information and it has one purpose - to brainwash people with ads.
So fuck them, let the system eat itself from the inside.

Good quality content will endure regardless of legislation.

Nice, for me it was a new word as well, even tho it was largely understandable by the radicals (in-/un- and fatig- + able)

What I wonder is:

(?) Is OP a native English speaker and is this word used in daily contexts,

(or?) did he use it because he might not be an English speaker and he searched for the words in his own language and that is the word that came out, instead of the more common "tirelessly".

(or?) he is a native speaker and he knows this word is not used in daily/common conversations... so, by using this different concoction, did he meant to translate some additional feeling? is "indefatigable" a stronger "tirelessly"?

I know it's oddly specific but I am not a native speaker and insight into these odd ducks helps me build a maturer mind model of it all.

Thank you.

>For variable sized arrays, there is already a bit of overhead in sizing the allocation. Would it really have been impossible to move large allocations to the heap with automatic free at exit of the scope?

Not a compiler writer here so I'm not sure. I think it wouldn't be too difficult, but then this goes very much against the exact control you normally expect from C. And violating expectations like this is usually not good.

It would also produce bigger functions in a somewhat opaque manner, because you would need the code to deal with malloc and free and stack allocation at the same time.

You took a risk. Taking a mortgage is not risk free. Prices of properties are not guaranteed to go up forever. We are in fact in huge housing bubble. Some people just rent. It’s not right to force renters to bail out people who took mortgages. Once this bubble bursts I hope we are not going to be bailing out mortgages again.
So C's VLA feature has been implemented on stack space. Why not on the heap? Seems safer. Is this strictly about convenience for implementation? Reclaiming stack memory at the end of the scope is already implemented, so I understand the motivation.

What I don't understand is: after all these decades of stack smashing vulnerabilities, why would such a shortcut have been taken?

Convenience costs performance, safety costs performance ... at some point you just have to suck it up and pay the performance penalty to make things safer and to improve programmer productivity.

This is whitewashing what Gab is. Before they purged their twitter history in response to this crisis, Gab's Twitter account was more than happy to tweet and retweet anti-semitic vitriol and conspiracies themselves[1]. While Gab likes to claim they're an impartial social network and defenders of free speech, they are actively courting a specific, often anti-semitic audience on Twitter.

because without banks to act as facilitators you would not be able to finance a house or car. Small businesses lending would dry up as would most lending for equipment and commercial real estate.

Banks did a lot to earn their terrible reputations over the past 15 years but it is also true that they provide necessary liquidity to a vast number of markets.
When MH17 was shot down, an Australian paper published a large picture on the front page which showed actual dead bodies tangled in the wreckage. No blurring or obfuscation. You could clearly see a young woman's arm held up as if to ward off an impact in the foreground. Highly distasteful and inappropriate IMO.
Are you seriously incapable of talking about programs that don't require servers because the word serverless exists? Have you considered... offline? Local? I've never heard the word serverless ever used to describe a system that does not require servers.
I'd go against the grain and recommend reading a modern book that's more guided and more of an overview, before reading the classics (which are great and very approachable!). A Guide to the Good Life, for instance, or Stoicism and the Art of Happiness.

I'm not surprised. Keep your assumptions about my knowledge to yourself.

While you're right that there are other kinds of front ends, that's a different context than this entire discussion has been confined to.

If you want to be extremely literal, you can always find a way to disagree with people, but is that disagreement actually contributing meaningful information to the discussion?

In the pre-internet era, Chomsky said the same about TV. To paraphrase, you are crippled by the length constraints imposed by the talk show/debate genre. In other words, the length of the message already imposes an agenda on the communication. Of course there the hard limit was somewhere around 5 minutes, not 5 sentences. Twitter is good for anecdotal communication. Anecdotal, as in conveying casual observations. It's not for meaningful discussion, simply because of the length constraints.

I'm not really a Twitter user, so correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you can form a thread containing multiple posts. I don't think that changes much. Suppose you use a post to hold a paragraph of what you're writing. That means that now you have an unlimited (if the thread is unlimited length) size text, but the paragraphs are limited in length. Somehow that sounds even more wrong. What's more, since you're sending paragraphs off in a fire-and-forget sort of way (you can't edit them later, right?), you're essentially entering a sort of flow, no-looking-back type of writting, which is conducive for anecdotal, quick-think, social communications, but, again, not conducive to intellectual discussion.

For example, I'll reformat above text to fit into 280 character buckets, which actually won't even be a good aproximation of what I would have written on Twitter, since I refelected on the text, restructuring it and editing it through out. Here it goes:

By reading that, you can tell that the rhythm of the text doesn't match the rhythm of the divisions. The text is too wordy for the constraints, sentences too long. Last sentence had to be cut into two paragraphs. It's almost giving you indigestion, a feeling like you're taking too large bites too fast.

No, you can’t. Not unless you stop living in Europe or the US or any other place that has internet. I don’t have a Facebook account, but I’m certain Facebook knows all it needs to know from friends who shared pictures and tagged me, from people who uploaded their address book which included my phone number, from companies that uploaded my data as part of a targeted audience list. You cannot opt out of this part of the data collection. And all the policies that Facebook promotes, all the social dialogue it shapes, this affects me, too. I cannot possibly opt out of that either.

October Review (Revenue & goals)
There are definite upsides to having a detailed written record of a code review, but in terms of enjoyment if I have some code to review I read though it, take some notes, grab a meeting room and have a discussion with the person that wrote the code. I find it far less tedious than having to write up my critiques in detail. Then the written review in the tool can just be terse reminders to the things we discussed.

I'm sure there are people that feel exactly the opposite, but it's worth trying.
I did enjoy the articles about mattress bloggers making a remarkably high incomes. Even though it ended in profitable tears.

>The fact that money is a store of value

You are arguing that something that can be effortlessly created (paper money) is a better store of value than something that cannot be effortlessly created (bitcoin).

>systems that try to tie value to things like gold pop up every now and then, they always eventually fail and the peg breaks - because it's just not how it actually works

They fail because there's trust in pegging something to gold, one must obviate the peg. i.e. bitcoin

>It's actually around the requirement of a population to pay tax in a certain currency that the wider economy emerges around it (this is called 'baseline demand' for a currency).

The term you're looking for is Chartalism [1] and it's a naive view of money.

>if the economy has produced $100 of new value, then it actually needs somebody to create $100 more money to operate in a non-deflationary way.

Let's assume that the central-planning of money does create a economic free lunch and that it is a superior money. Why then does it need a state-enforced monopoly around it? If it clearly was superior, it would win in a free market without the aid of a state-enforced monopoly.
