Really? At least for ads which track the click I am almost certain that I can say that I never have. I've been using AdBlock since the very early stages when it was available and even before I actively avoided clicking on ads. It might be that before AdBlock I would have seen ads about something so that my subconscious mind attributed the constant reminder about that product with some kind of quality (like TV ads). Then, once I had to buy a product which did what this one did I would more probably buy the one which I felt I knew already. But that is a negative thing about ads, not a positive.

I recommend reading this paper and coming to your own conclusion about "almost no doubt". Within sustainability science, there is little debate about the lack of efficiency to produce protein via cows.

nice summary, most of the tools are written in rust, most of them respect .gitignore etc which is nice.

i started using them today, 'bat' is really nice to read markdown on CLI(and other source code), hyperfine is good too. 'exa' is a little too hard to type comparing to 'ls' which I aliased to 'ls --color' and does what 'exa' does, 'z' needs a while to learn before it is useful.
> But mm... why you would want to mutable state like current directory in first place? Or even mutable filesystem? Why aren't those just immutable parameters of your program?

Because that's how just about any OS, application, library, filesystem, device driver, database, nearly everything related to computing at all, works. Reinventing the universe has never, ever lead to success. If you want even the slightest hope for non-negligible adoption of your operating system, you need to be able to interface with the rest of the world. And that's why you don't want the filesystem to be an "immuatble parameter of your program".
Thanks for the question! Graphite Publishing only uses blockchain for user identity. And even then, a user creating an account doesn't really see that in the experience.

All data is stored in the storage hub of the user's choosing rather than being stored in a database centralized to Graphite Publishing. In fact, Graphite Publishing doesn't have access to anyone's data.

But you're right, a blockchain is not necessary for decentralized blogging and is not used for data storage at all in this app.
Panoply has developed software for podcasts that allows them to inject targeted ads into downloads, which makes podcast advertising closer to the nightmare that we see on the web.

However, that could offer another avenue for ad-blocking. If you download multiple podcasts from different IPs, you can isolate the ads by finding the parts of the audio that are different.

Mark Zuckerberg's personal challenge for 2019
WOW. Good way to put it.

Also, as I've done a few times, can take your 36 megaJoules per liter and ...: Let's see, a Watt is a Joule per second. So the energy in 36 megaJoules would be a million Watts for 36 seconds. A liter is ballpark a quart, and a gallon is 4 quarts, so 20 gallons is 80 quarts or ballpark 80 liters, and even with a megaWatt power source we're talking charging time 36 times 80 seconds, a bit over 40 minutes.

So, drive up to a gas station, convenience store, plug in the mega Watt power source, get some lunch, check the air in the tires, clean the floor mats, put in a DVD for a movie, ....

Before you connect that megaWatt cable, let me step back about 50 feet and look in a different direction.

Let's see: My house has 100 A at 240 V, that is 24,000 Watts. So a mega Watt is ballpark 40 times that much. If use only half that power to charge the car battery, a mega Watt is 80 times that much. So the 40 minutes becomes 3200 minutes, something over 50 hours, two days. "Sorry, Boss, I'll be charging my battery on Monday and Tuesday and will be in on Wednesday. Since my commute is 100 miles a day, I'll need to do this two day charge once for each four working days. Or, I'll be okay Wednesday through Friday, drive another 100 miles on the weekend, and will charge again Monday and Tuesday of next week, too." Right, he could charge at work. Each day at work will need about six hours of charging at the full 100 A at 240 V.

Uh, at 10 cents per KWh, the 40 minutes at one megaWatt would cost: A megaWatt hour would be 1000 times a KWh and cost 1000 times 10 cents or $100. The 40 minutes would be 2/3rds of that or $66 or the same as gas at $3.30 a gallon. Not a bargain.

And that $3.30 per gallon applies wherever have to pay 10 per KWh, at a charging station, at home, at work, at a restaurant, etc. People don't give away gasoline and won't give away electric power for charging. In particular, a full charge like 20 gallons of gas at home, at 10 cents per KWh, will still cost the $66. Right, the gasoline burns with maybe only 30% efficiency, but there are efficiency losses from heat when charging the battery and again when driving the car.

Yup, for powering a private car used as they commonly are, a 20 gallon tank of gasoline is tough to compete with. For an electric, range is too short and charging time is too long. With electric power at 10 cents per KWh and gas at $2.75 a gallon, the cost will be ballpark much the same, no big savings either way.

Ah, maybe it's just me: I want a Corvette or Dodge with 700 HP! :-)

Early in my career I used to work in the public sector, one place I worked everyone's salary was public information. But discovered that several checks were printed every month for the executives "refunding" expenses like "transportation costs" and various other things, substantially boosting their pay, which was not reported as part of their official salary.

There's a really handy way to estimate the amount of resources that go into (and thus, the environmental impact of) making a product:

Its price.

When these are significantly cheaper than beef, then it'll be safe to state categorically that they are better for the environment. Until then, it's mostly a game of "pay attention to these metrics that favor my product and ignore the metrics which favor the competition".

That is only valid when the plan of bankruptcy was to avoid liquidation. This buyout became a veiled liquidation in the late 00s early 10s[1]. They need to prop up Sears and K-Mart stores long enough to pay leases to support Seritage Growth Properties property conversions to be prepared to bring in new tenants[2][3]. I guess you need to pay those out to fool a bankruptcy court into selling you the assets in for less than they are worth to liquidators. Which you can then continue to liquidate in secret under the guise of improving efficiency.

Its nice to see bankruptcy courts wising up to these schemes, but I'm not sure this isn't something lawmakers or regulators need to adjust to avoid more of.

I think the way to go is directly supporting Podcast makers (outside of the platforms like Patreon who have dubious censoring practices). The ad-based model is inherently flawed and luckily it seems that most podcasts providing valuable content are moving away from it.
It will come to nothing once Twitch becomes a big enough target. Then they’ll start to resemble YouTube more and more until the in turn are “disrupted.”
By that standard, almost every company's cultural roots go back to a startup.
Thinking fast and estimating wrong
I started college for the first time at 35 years old, and finished earlier this year after getting a BS CS, BS EE, and MS ECE. After 3 semesters at a community college, I transferred to a competitive engineering school (UIUC). My experience was very different from yours.

Community college had a few great professors, but most were not good. They did not have high expectations for students, and it showed in the way that classes were taught. It was far too easy and most students were not prepared for the increased difficulty of STEM classes after they transferred.

I don't think my university treated me as a child, but they scheduled labs and exams in a way that expects you to be available at all hours. That made things difficult for the few adults students that have other obligations outside of school. I was lucky in that I could afford to quit work and focus 100% on school. Most adults can't do that, but it is the best way to learn quickly.

Professors were selfish and self-serving, but that never affected me until graduate school. The professors in the earlier engineering classes at the 100, 200, and 300 levels were outstanding and incomparable to any professor I had in community college. In general, they were unselfish and would go very far out of their way to help students succeed.

Different colleges within the university were very different. That shouldn't be a problem for a transfer student because you don't have that much interaction with colleges other than your own. I only took 3 classes outside of the College of Engineering.

I was a software developer for years before I got a degree, and I still learned a tremendous amount. I consider my time at university to be the best time of my life. I would not have my current job (at a FAANG) if not for what I learned in classes and research. In fact, I have never met anyone (at any company) in my subfield that does not have a degree.
If you can come up with a compelling story and a reason (other than bragging rights), and can prove you have academic skills, you will have a shot. The goal is to convince the admissions committee who are just a few people, so you want to try and form a mental model of how they think.

But why those two? Even if you are solely focused on prestige in the most superficial sense, there are at least a few more comparable US universities. You could increase your number of options by 5x or 10x even being very picky.

This is interesting, if that's indeed the case then I'll publish my findings and encourage people to 1) fill similar requests, 2) fill requests for data deletion and ceasing of further collection.

Apart from location I'm still concerned about actual data transferred via those networks (calls, text and data).

In the MIPS port of the Linux kernel, there is a module which assembles a handler for TLB faults, right into memory, each time the kernel boots up:

https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v4.20/source/arch/mips/mm/t...

the code is spread among various C functions. All the uasm_() and UASM_() calls assemble an instruction, e.g.:

if (bcm1250_m3_war()) {
unsigned int segbits = 44;

uasm_i_dmfc0(&p, K0, C0_BADVADDR);
uasm_i_dmfc0(&p, K1, C0_ENTRYHI);
uasm_i_xor(&p, K0, K0, K1);
uasm_i_dsrl_safe(&p, K1, K0, 62);
uasm_i_dsrl_safe(&p, K0, K0, 12 + 1);
uasm_i_dsll_safe(&p, K0, K0, 64 + 12 + 1 - segbits);
uasm_i_or(&p, K0, K0, K1);
uasm_il_bnez(&p, &r, K0, label_leave);
/* No need for uasm_i_nop */

The K0 and K1 refer to a pair of registers that, according to the MIPS architecture, TLB handlers can use without saving or restoring. These registers thus appear to have unstable values from the POV of the interrupted user or kernel space program.

I know about this module because I once patched it to make it preserve the value of the K0 register. The K0 register then appeared to have a stable value in user space, and I was able to patch glibc to use refer to that register for the thread_self() context value. This saved a trip to the kernel, making pthread_<everthing> faster: mutexes, conditions, you name it. I patched GCC's thread local storage mechanism to also use this.

When looking for the trap handler assembly code, I could not find it in any .S file; then I discovered it's being synthesized at run-time by C code.
>So you're against animal anti-cruelty laws?

"I do not consider animal lives worth valuing or deserving of rights" is not necessarily the same as "I don't want animals to have rights". It can simply be "I don't care if animals have rights".
Maybe it's regional, but when I get takeout food it's in compressed cardboard-type material containers. If nothing else, it biodegrades. Some of these containers are segmented.

Regardless, I am asserting that the "grass" divider is purely aesthetic and should be left out completely. The supposed practical purpose is transparent BS, those flavors are going to get mixed in my mouth more than they would in the tray merely by touching each other.
Your WebGL aiders – best libraries for dealing with WebGL
> This is a fundamental disagreement, the only possible peaceful solution is agree to disagree (I hope we don't come down to the non-peaceful ones)

So here is the kicker, exactly because vegan people see these animal lives as worth valuing, they don't consider your "agree to disagree" stance as a "peaceful solution", as it implies the death and suffering of these entities.

It's one of those subjects where you can't have an "agree to disagree" or a "live and let live", or a "to each their own" type of deal, because one side is considering that a third party is involved and hurt, while the other side doesn't consider that a third party is involved at all. i.e: sentient being vs food.

I wonder if they balanced the amino acid profile correctly, if this is not a complete protein then it wold detract from the main reason I eat meat, for simple exercise recovery. One of the problems I have with grain protein sources is they are rarely formulated in a way that allows for slow absorption and it forces me to look up what amino acids I need to supplement with.

I've used all of the above and shipped code with them; when coming into a project it's more important to get things done than bitch about the gains other tools get you.

When starting a design from scratch, my own proclivity generally goes towards gcc/clang +some commandline build (make, cmake,.etc), openocd+gdb, and an eclipse project built up that's ready to go for those who like GUI editors. That free stack tends to have less bugs than the above tooling and way more examples for when you want to do something weird.
Windows actually does require this, which is why applications tend to ship with (or otherwise require) some kind of C(++) runtime, like those provided by MSVC or MinGW. Some rely on these being installed separately, while others include them as part of the app's installation process. Same deal for .NET. I haven't done enough macOS development to confirm or deny, but I'd assume the situation is similar there, too.

The actual difference is that Visual C++ and XCode (presumably) automate most or all of this, since this is the standard way of compiling and distributing applications for those platforms. In contrast, Linux development tends to revolve around software that can be recompiled for each distribution, so the tooling is going to be optimized around a workflow of relying on system-wide libraries and binaries and other data managed by a package manager.
Good to know, thank you! It should be enough to harass one's provider, but perhaps a more broad approach will work.

By the environmental footprint argument, I could do far greater good for it by murdering the person with the largest footprint, and altering the remainder of my lifestyle not at all.

To ask those with the smallest prints to wear smaller shoes is ridiculous while some still wear a different yacht on each foot. You ask the man with the ha'penny to give a farthing, while the man on the gold throne is unmolested.

If I save the whole Earth, will I get to keep some of it, or will title to the vast majority of the habitable area remain with those who made my interventions necessary?

It's a matter of incentives. Why should I bust my ass to live green on a rented 1/8 of an acre, while my neighbor that owns the 400 sqmi ranch is buying pipes and pumps specialized to move liquefied manure by the cubic meter, and blowing cigar smoke in my face when I complain about the smell? Go annoy the asshats that can actually make a difference by changing their behavior, or save your arguments for a political campaign. My only stake in the environment is my own survival. If it down comes to that, I already know I'm expendable. I won't just lay down and die, though; I'm going to at least try to eat the rich, instead of my vegetables.

I believe that the government should focus strictly on macro outcomes. I.e big goals, like "more people covered by medical insurance" or "average life expectancy increase", etc. It's impossible at a high level to ensure that every last person gets a better outcome.

I'd also say that if anybody really did end up with more expensive policies with worse coverage, that's a continuing fault with our insurance companies. If they were functioning correctly, then an increase in policy premium after ACA would indicate that the consumer was not accurately assessing their own risk previously and thought their coverage was far more extensive than in reality. I haven't yet found an actual example of someone who really did get less coverage that cost more. Inevitably they are comparing an old plan that had basically no actual, effective coverage to one with far fewer loopholes.
I don't understand why anyone would consider going back to college when there's very legitimate online course options that cost a fraction. Look through edx.org and see for yourself.

Remember there's no guarantee that going back to school will net you the job you want but it's a guarantee that you will go into crippling debt that will follow you for the rest of your life.

Unless of course your company is paying for you to go back to school then why not.
