Economically this is true, but I'm deeply uncomfortable with it. The whole reason I got into computers in the first place is because it put everyone on equal footing.

As a kid I could write a program on my C=64 that was equal in every way to a commercial program that my parents bought. Personal computers were the great equalizer. (You don't even need a company! Magazines published amateur submissions all the time.) There's no other field I can think of where a kid could use a standard piece of equipment that they find around the house, and use it to build something on par with the top professionals in the world. Maybe a piano.

Valve and Steam (and all the other "app stores") were surely built by a lot of the people who grew up on personal computers in the same the way I did. I'm saddened to see that they're using their business success to help big companies get bigger. The economic value of the personal computer has changed from "equality for the little guy" to "leverage for the big guy".

This is what Bret Victor meant by "When I see a violation of [my] principle, I don't think of that as an opportunity. [...] I see a tragedy. To me it feels like a moral wrong, it feels like an injustice."

> The big European measles outbreaks happen in hardline Dutch Reformed communities.

That's definitely not correct. Greece had the most cases of measles in the EU over the last year, at 3,049. France had 2,771. Italy had 2,599. Romania had 1,821. The UK had 1,019. Germany had 542. Slovakia had 471.

Ukraine had 23,000+ in just the first half of the year. That's not a problem with dutch communities.

The biggest outbreaks over the last 10-15 years in Europe have occurred in Ukraine, Bulgaria, Romania, Italy, France.

Once you get outside the M25, if there's a possible journey by rail it's going to be better than driving to central London 99% of the time.

I used to work in Zone 4 (out of 6, 1 is the centre) and most "blue collar" people still came in by train. Even if, as was sometimes the case, the rail journey was 10-15 minutes slower than the fastest possible road journey, it was at least reliably that fast. Road journeys were regularly delayed by ½-1-2 hours!
To be fair, Linux and friends aren't much better in that regard. Permission management for locally running programs is pretty much poor by default in all major operating systems. SELinux and AppArmor for Linux improve on the situation, but they're usually not the default unless you're using Fedora, and even there, it might need some extra configuration.

I'm looking forward to capability-based systems with microkernels, since they really improve on the situation, but I think it'll take a while until we get some major ones. Maybe Google's Fuchsia will establish itself soon enough, who knows? (We'll also have to see what can be done about hardware security, since any software mitigation could potentially be rendered useless by insecure hardware.)

I'm not familiar with that refrain, and agree it sounds absurd. FWIW I really do believe we need to discuss racism, however not with racist arguments.
Interesting that in a way this might be a self-feeding cycle. People stop vaccinating, suddenly there are outbreaks in high-vaccination areas (really just smaller groups of people that do not vaccinate?), which then gets used as an argument against vaccinations.

To me, the effectiveness is the single most obvious argument for vaccinations. If that can't convince someone, maybe nothing can't.

I'd rather convince her with facts rather than making an ultimatum. In the end, it's probably not life and death.

Again: not a single study with a benchmark, just an anecdote that actually means the opposite of what is intended. The authors of Bzip had to write non-idiomatic code to prevent UB "optimization" from breaking their code, and this results in compiled code that may or may not be slower. Tip: fewer assembly instructions does not always mean faster execution in a pipelined processor. In fact, compiling with -fwrap probably would generate better code.

Maybe your DB creds are in a secure configuration system and maybe the KMS credentials are granted by an IAM instance role. If only certain users are able to get access to config (ie RDS), and only certain machines are able to decrypt data, you now have a multilayered security approach where an attacker needs to breach both a user and a piece of hardware. If you breach a user and get your hands on a DB leak, you can't use it because you don't have access to the hardware. If you breach the instance role then you can make decrypt requests, but you would have also needed to have breached the data separately and independently.

Don't forget that data is most often leaked by people. DB backups, dev environments, inappropriate transfers. We hear about the big targeted attacks, but probably 90% of actual breaches are due to human misuse.

Imagine we were using our armed services to provide purely humanitarian assistance in a theater(is that the right word?). And Russian troll farms are pumping out news saying we are invaders, and actually killing and kidnapping people who try to get help from them.

This directly puts our guys on the ground at even greater risk.

Even people at home and in allied countries start to believe it. It makes life harder for them in the future in many ways, politically and global politically.

It could be they exist purely to dispel actual myths/lies, and are kinda like the snopes of armed forces news.

That does make a point, but it's not what's happening here. You don't get to 30 years old before you decide to get vaccinated. You get them as young children.

Following your analogy it would be more like "I don't like my life, so I'm not going to take care of my children"

Also we do take steps to hold people down and make them take care of themselves or just do it ourselves, when it's gets so bad that they affect other people. If you let your home start collapsing it'll get condemned. If you let trash pile up on your property and attract dangerous animals into the neighborhood you'll get increasing fines until your forced to clean up. If you go into a drug fueled bender all the time and wander the streets attacking people, you'll be arrested.

This is just another case of people creating negative externalities that everyone else has to deal with, and then hiding behind the idea that personal freedoms mean they can do whatever they want without limit

MechWarrior 5 Mercenaries Gets a Release Date on 10th September 2019
Well, I've just left a company where I have been using Mac OS for 6 years. IT recommended that I don't use Linux because the drivers for the Mac hardware are supposedly buggy and slow... so I had to go on with Mac OS.
I've never had so many problems with a computer since Windows 95, and it was consistent across two different model Macbooks. Being unable to hold on to the correct resolution on external display, problems with peripherals (e.g. not detecting a mouse until after a reboot or taking out/putting in Apple mouse batteries), every upgrade of the OS breaking something or requiring re-installs (XCode, etc.), grey screens of death, Terminal crashing(!), mic stopping and needing one to kill the audio driver to work again (that hit many people, hilarious in meeting), insane memory usage (on a 4Gb laptop it's simply impossible to do work because it's swapping pretty much half the time... compared to Windows 7 that is slow but serviceable on 2Gb with similar workload; 16Gb laptop was better), VPN mysteriously dying (works after reboot), GPU driver hanging and causing a reboot ("relaunching WindowServer"), slow boot time compared to a Windows laptop from like 2014, and many more issues. Some issues with memory and scheduler that I looked for in-depth explanations of, I was thinking "is it really possible to f-up Unix so badly? You need some sort of a special talent."
And almost every time I'd go online and there are tons of people having the same problem for years with no resolution, just like Windows 95.

When I started using it, I'd say "lol just like Windows" on every glitch, nowadays when something wrong/slow happens on Windows I say "lol like a Mac"

Oh, also - needing 3rd party software for simple things like setting high-enough mouse sensitivity, window maximization that is not idiotic on multiple monitors, window snapping, or system-wide equalizer.

Really I found the only good thing about Mac OS is a terminal (that is until Terminal app started crashing after some update, taking all my tabs with it - a known bug months ago, still not fixed). But then in Windows I set up ConEMU + MinGW64 for only slightly inferior experience, in like an hour including research.

Dead simple? An eminent atmospheric physicist - Lindzen begs to differ: "Former senator and Secretary of State John F. Kerry is typical when he stated, with reference to greenhouse warming, ‘I know sometimes I can remember from when I was in high school and college, some aspects of chemistry or physics can be tough. But this is not tough. This is simple. Kids at the earliest age can understand this’. As you have seen, the greenhouse effect is not all that simple. Only remarkably brilliant kids would understand it. Given Kerry’s subsequent description of climate and its underlying physics, it was clear that he was not up to the task.".

I didn't play my clarinet at all for 5ish years (and was only playing it once or twice a year for the 5 previous years), and getting a good sound out of it was impossible[1], but basic technique (e.g. scales, arpeggios, sight reading) was still about as good as 4 years in to when I was learning as a kid.

1: At least some of this is mouth muscles just being too weak (in another thread an ex rock climber talks about climbing a tree and that's a similar effect), some of it is that when I quit, I was still learning to make it sound good, so I never had unconscious control for a lot of the subtle changes I had to make. The rest is probably just things I forgot.

I'm an outsider of Elm community, but from my perspective, breaking changes in Elm 0.19 is still a pretty big deal where lots of people complain about.

Talking about refactoring, I think it's much easier when you are working with a codebase that built by composing lots of small pure functions together. The place where it gets tricky is the part with side-effects where you have to carefully test it either manual or automate anyway. Type error will likely to be caught during that process. With Clojure Repl, we can test that out pretty quickly.

Italy: 60% of migrants receive pensions while they didn't work a single day
It's "edge" cases like this that demonstrate how complex it is for software to coordinate with chaos of real-world environments.

According to a CA State Trooper, "The state law says that upon the immediate approach of an authorized emergency vehicle the driver shall immediately drive to a position parallel to, and as close as possible to, the right-hand edge or curb of the highway clear of any intersection, and shall stop and remain in this position until the authorized emergency vehicle has passed, except when otherwise directed by a police officer. The driver of another vehicle on a one-way roadway shall drive to the closest edge or curb and stop."

My idea would be to add an indicator light at both licence plates that indicates an autonomous control in effect.

The state should require all semi or fully vehicles have a special registration to provide an ability for LE to disable the car in an emergency or to intercept criminal activity.
> What does this mean for cooling, especially in the high-density 3D architectures mentioned?

Well, it's not even clear why they think it helps a 3D architecture. AFAIK, there is no mature layer deposition technique that allows gaps for the vacuum those transistors require, so I'd imagine it makes 3D harder.

For cooling, keep in mind that at those scales air cooling is much less efficient than conductive cooling.

> Does this mean that chips would have less resistive heating?

Complementary logic (the "C" in C-MOS) sets the heat dissipation into a fixed amount per clock cycle, whatever resistance you have. When you hear about "lower resistance transistors", you should hear "higher frequency transistors".

> is there is also a lattice-spacing constraint

There is also a lattice-spacing constraint. Manufacture constraints don't change (they used a well known, very expensive, and hard to scale technique for their proof of concept), insulation constraints don't go away, and they replaced the charge carrier orbital constraints with a constraint on the length of the electrode separation.
This is the best thing that could've happened to them. Otherwise I would've never heard of Bitchute, now they're going to be famous.

Of course there is no such number. But there is a standard law practice and other methods of calculating this value, for the cases of moral compensation or safety/emergency decisions. The same rules can be applied here.
