I have a 6yr old. This was his argument ( in Spanish ) when asked whether he preferred to go to an Amusement Park or sit all day and watch youtubers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9RZNy6ARzZ4&feature=youtu.be

99% of the kids I know will ALWAYS opt to veg out and play games or watch Youtube. This was not the case when I was growing up in NYC with all the game-sets and cable TV.

So what are we doing about it?

1 - he is only limited to Netflix. 30min max per day

2 - Every other day, he can play 15-20 min of only a handful of games like Chess, Cut-the-rope, and Lego Adventures on the tablet.

3 - We've decided to move to Patagonia next month so that he will be able to run wild in nature whenever he gets 'bored'.

4 - We quickly realized that the best way to lead is by example, therefore mom and dad put away and don't use the phones at home while he is around. This too has help my severe addiction.

My instincts tell me that the LONGER he stay off devices, the better off he will be. It's like Crack to them. S.Jobs knew that himself, that's why he didn't allow his daughter to touch the stuff.

To give my extremely opinionated opinion: because science, politics, and philosophy haven't advanced past the assumptions that made cyberpunk look like a plausible vision of the future.

And you can't necessarily just solve this "politically" with "activist scifi". You have to actually figure out which scientific and philosophical foundation-stones of our present social and technological orders are false assumptions, and figure out how to open them to question and speculation. Then you have to tell an interesting story about it all!

(I often find that many of the people trying to "critique" our social order haven't taken that essential step of asking what the counterfactuals are to the false assumptions they critique. They think just by criticizing, you open some vast untapped field of techno-social possibilities. Nah, once you've grabbed the steering wheel, you still need to have somewhere to steer towards, a map of how to get there, and a map of why you want to go there.)
Sounds like we have a developing punkgate on our hands
Would you classify someone like Linus Torvalds as a manager and an individual contributor? I see a lot of obsession with pigeonholing and defining roles with zero degrees of freedom. "A manager needs to stop doing ____ and needs to start doing ___". Who's making these definitions? I know plenty of small business owners who are quite successful at wearing both hats. I personally don't have a problem if someone out there decided that in order to be an effective leader they have to abandon their previous responsibilities entirely, but I don't see how that becomes a universal rule. Just because everyone else is doing it doesn't make it right and no longer worth looking at.

Can anyone link me to a breakdown of how jemalloc fairs against system allocators wrt Rust? I was of the impression that the standard system allocators had worse fragmentation properties? Is that not true, or is the idea that if you care about fragmentation, you should opt into jemalloc?
The entire point is that I _am_ gauging their ability to talk with me through something they may or may not be uncomfortable with. This has worked well in the past and most people deal with this favorably.

If their response is "this is stupid, no one has to know how to do this" and storm out with the same indignation that is present in half of these comments then they are not the ones who dodged a bullet.
FWIW, even the author of the Martian admits that there's a fair bit of fantasy involved in it as well - namely the cosmic radiation shielding problem and the "Mars' atmosphere would never create wind storms of that magnitude".

Hard SF definitely exists, it's just (like other literary subgenres) a bit less popular and prolific.
Perfect time to end this thinly veiled jobs program.
That is not what the podcasts I've been listening to have led me to believe. I've heard that it's very different state-to-state and prison-to-prison.
Can we blacklist Huffington Post here? The large majority of their articles are low effort garbage. Also, is this website load terrible on mobile for anyone else?
> Isn't HPET is just a basic system timer? (That is definitely present on Zen.) You might be thinking of something else?

You're right. I got the names confused. I've edited the post above to use the proper "PEBS" term.

Intel's "Precise Event-Based Sampling" is what I was trying to talk about. Intel's PEBS can precisely tell you where a branch-mispredict happens.

AMD's default event timers are inaccurate: your branch mispredictions will be all over "add" instructions, and other unrelated stuff. This is because a CPU is looking at roughly ~100 instruction windows (between the pipeline, decoder, and retirement... there's a lot of inaccuracy in determining "where did this branch misprediction happen??").

So when trying to track down a branch-misprediction on AMD systems, you have to switch to the harder to use "Instruction based Profiling" mode. Intel has a simpler PEBS switch which is easier to use IMO.
It’s still a mid range die - TU104, the high end die is the TU102, it’s all relative.

We’re about 1 month away from NVIDIA’s next quarterly report it will be really interesting to see how much revenue they got so far from Turing especially considering the 2060 was released only 1 month prior to the date their revenue will be reported on.
Not just misleading, literally wrong based on the plain meaning of the words.
Maybe it's regional, but when I see police officers pulling someone over they almost always go to the passenger window.

I feel like you misunderstand me entirely.

You're going to have a really hard time finding good hires if you restrict yourself to the pool of people who can "problem-solve something basic" according to your definition of "something basic".

Maybe ask: "How can this person help the team ship working software that solves the problem of our customer?"

It's less adversarial and opens your recruitment up to that pool of folk who have literally decades experience answering that question.
Exactly, but the person I replied to said:

"if you are saying that the pretty girls cover the mirror to detect two way mirrors, that is not the reason they cover the mirror for."

Thus my question. If it's not to cover up a two way mirror, then what ?

Not using Let's Encrypt automated renewal isn't necessarily due to a lack of care.

Some of the sites listed use EV certificates, which aren't supported by Let's Encrypt.

And using Let's Encrypt for automated renewal comes with risks of its own. Note, for example, that very few of the "major sponsors" listed on the Let's Encrypt website use Let's Encrypt for their own sites.
What specifically is terrible about slack across the platforms? I actually like it and I like having it run as a separate app so I can quickly hot-tab swap to it. It's also better than all the other legacy Group chat apps it's replaced like Jabber (which is native as far as I can tell), MS Messenger, etc...
In similar hubris, many Americans believe Russians control their Democracy.
I read recently, maybe here, that standing by the side of the road deaths for law enforcement is no longer the greatest cause of death.

Also, I'm a truck driver, on the road all day every day, and cops are mostly on the passenger side these days. Anecdata.
While I'm not a fan of the TSA as an institution, I'm certainly sympathetic to them being in a situation of essentially unpaid servitude. Nobody deserves that, no matter how shitty or unimportant you think their job is.

Yes, we have active R&D projects focused on addressing this kind of drift. In smaller rooms where the environment is favorable, we will usually see the device count for a whole day without any mistakes. But in general there are diminishing returns with that strategy, and there are lots of possible ways to correct drift error. I'm not sure how much more I can say right now.

A lot of progress has been made since the 2003 passage of "PREA," the Prison Rape Elimination Act. https://www.prearesourcecenter.org/about/prison-rape-elimina...

Anecdotal: When I went through police training several years ago, one of our instructors was a former jail capitan. I've never met anyone in my life who took sexual assault and sexual assault prevention more seriously.
The 2080 is 545mm^2. Intel's "HCC" 18-core Skylake Xeon is 485mm^2. There's nothing "mid-range" about a die at 545mm^2.

Yeah, there are higher-end XCC Intel chips or higher end NVidia chips. But by any practical measurement, things pushing 500mm^2 or bigger is downright massive.

Radeon VII is ~350mm^2, but on a very expensive 7nm process. Hard to tell what "high end" or "mid range" will be at 7nm right now, since there aren't too many chips being made to compare against.
Same. I don't own one right now but have considered a smart watch, and only looked at the circular faces. While a smart watch is a new UI for spontaneously consuming information, it's always a fashion accessory when worn.

Curious how do workbench and the other (have not used that i guess) screw up CSV exports?

Recently tried workbench after a year or 2 again; was enjoying some new features, but the lack of OSX dark theme support is hurting usability, some parts of UI and or texts are simply unreadable. I hope they sort that soon. Workbench is not one of many that supports connections over ssh native, which is nice as i hope non of the folks here run interfacing databases :). The performance analyses tab is quite neat, saves me a lot of manual query logging and plowing through that to find bad queries.
> This isnt specialized knowledge. If you know how to program, you can write a BFS.

Are you fucking kidding me? A BFS is incredibly specialized. You almost never need them and you WILL forget them after a few years on a job because you never once have to use it. What kind of fantasy land are you living in?
In retrospect, I enjoyed the rocks/geology part, it gave me something to dream about when I drive in desert landscapes and picture myself walking on Mars sometime in the future, running or flying in low gravity, or sailing..!

But back in the moment, I fell asleep many times trying to go through those passages.

Anyhow, I agree that this trilogy is really good work, on so many levels. It gets me thinking nearly everyday, years later, about what I'd need to prepare for as an eventual, hopeful colonist.
Oh I know you weren't asking, I was merely responding to the incongruence apparent in your own expectations of the world.
On x86 systems, a breakpoint is implemented by replacing the byte with the "int3" instruction. For Unix systems, this is the SIGTRAP signal. So invoke_debugger() that boils down to asm("int3") would suffice, if you were already on a debugger.

Well, the trouble is knowing if you need to spawn a debugger. On Windows, there's a nice API for checking if you're being debugged (IsDebuggerPresent). On Linux, you have to read /proc/self/status to see if there is somebody running ptrace on you. On other Unixes, well, the only trick is trying to spawn another process to ptrace you and hope it works.

It is possible, just tricky.
Yeah. People don't get this, but what you want to collect is what kids are having fun with today that they'll want to have fun with again when they're older.

Nostalgia and natural rarity. If it weren't for emulators, I'd wager that old Nintendo systems would be the rage right now.
I don't understand? Isn't that to convert from an array of bytes to a native type? So those bytes need to be in a specific order (in this case, native endianness)?

Do you mean someone could get confused because they think 1 byte has endianness? Well then maybe they shouldn't touch these functions since they don't understand what is endianness.

It's weird that they have these methods on a u8 though. Probably just comes automatically because it's an integer type so they prefer to have a consistent API?

It seems to come from a macro used to define those primitive int types: https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/src/core/num/mod.rs.html#38...
I'll second this. I love how they depict space travel and combat.
If you have a limited use case - sure. 4K is nice let's say for adventure games that don't require rapid animation. But for more general usefulness, 4K is an overkill that doesn't have affordable GPUs to back it. I'd take higher refresh rate over resolution (to a point) when there is a choice.
Because pseudo random is good for most purposes, and there is enough chaos in the machine to seed cryptographic random numbers. So why add extra manufacturing cost.
Per the linked article, B corps are a very new thing -- they started within this decade and not all states even have them yet.

Almost all big companies are older than B corps have existed for. It might be a "wait and see" kind of thing.

> extremely wealthy

Many wealthy people don't realize how unusual they are, because all their friends are the same. It's like the story of a PhD student joyously exclaiming he was graduating and the professor replies, "That's nothing special. All my friends are PhDs."

On the opposite end of things, a friend of mine refused to believe the proportion of US citizens who are millionaires. He explained that he knew about 1,000 people in his hometown and none of them were millionaires. I couldn't convince him that things were different in other places, partly because of the number of beers we'd drunk that night.
I hope all the parents who are severely restricting screen time have also cut potatoes out of their family’s diet.
Education innovation is definitely a massive problem to solve. Especially because of a weird mix of control and influence Universities have between dictating k-12, expected job fulfillment vs skill, and their government sanctioned student debt vehicle unavoidable by bankruptcy.

We need a more decentralized education system top-down that isn't tightly coupled to the gov.

Parent probably implies "with the exception of unsafe" when he says "normal code". Unsafe code is supposed to lack many of the benefits of Rust's memory model.
After 20+ years I'd expect you to be able to make it up on-the-fly.
I'm definitely with you on the "Traditional watch" front. I was looking into smart watches recently and decided the so-called Hybrid Smartwatches were definitely more my style. I ended up getting a Nokia Steel HR. The display isn't eInk and it doesn't have a second hand, but it does fitness tracking and unobtrusive notifications, while still looking like a watch.

The Gligo looks good too, and I hope more hybrid manufacturers start making decent eInk watches, but it would honestly bother me having it display the time digitally under the analog hands.
I think the marketshare contributes more to the actual inferiority of AMD cards at the midrange compared to the hardware specs.

Because AMD is a minority and game developers know it, driver-related bugs that would be priority 1 to fix if it affected nVidia users are bottom priority for AMD users. The AMD midrange cards are wonderful in terms of the hardware for certain displays and competitive in every way from a hardware perspective. Especially if you are looking for 60fps+ @ 1080p you can get awesome deals by going with AMD.

Just be prepared to occasionally have issues like BSODing whenever a game renders a lot of white textures like snow scenes for six months at a time unless you downgrade the drivers to a specific version, which will then be fixed in a driver update and broken again if you are an AMD user. Or to occasionally have driver crashes that developers acknowledge and don't fix for months. And to fuss with shader cache settings and things like that because those settings are busted for AMD for some specific game you want to play.

It's not even necessarily that the drivers suck. They don't suck. They're fine. It's that the developers don't have a big incentive to fix bugs that only impact a smaller segment of the market. While it's not like there aren't a lot of nVidia only bugs that crop up, because of its market share, those bugs are almost always a higher priority to fix and you really notice it if you have used both GPU manufacturers at the same time over a period of years or have used both at various times.

Most of the nVidia tech gimmicks usually suck and are uninteresting (HairWorks, physx, realtime ray tracing) and those that don't suck are usually matched quickly (Gsync). But the marketshare alone is sort of a perversely positive feature because it just means you are on the same drivers as the majority of the market so bugs that impact you are a higher priority for developers to fix.
I don't think that statement, by itself, tells us much about the TSA's efficacy. Because their mere presence could be an effective deterrent.
Looks like its a food safety website from the USDA recommending cooking temperatures. Is It Done Yet makes sense.
I noticed that one too - it actually redirects to a USDA page with information on what temperature foods are safely cooked at.

I agree with the sibling commenter: responses like these are very condescending -- and basically prove the main point of the original article.

"The louder he talked of his honor, the faster we counted our spoons." --Ralph Waldo Emerson
Again it’s all relative, NVIDIA always used big dies to win and they are making money hand over fist.

It doesn’t change the fact that the TU104 is a mid range die as far as the Turing lineup goes doesn’t matter if it’s 500mm^2 or 5M^2.

Radeon 7 is a fairly large die for its processes on a very expensive node using the fastest memory around which barely beats the 1080ti and brings next to nothing new to the table over Vega, heck i doesn’t bring that many new things over Fiji but at least they finally have dot product support.

The simple reality is that for gaming the 2080 is still a better pick if only because of the RTX features.

For compute the 2080 might edge it depending on the workload and especially for DL/ML due to the craptastic state of AMDs ecosystem even today.

For HPC as in FP64 then the Rad 7 is worse perf/$ than the Titan V you can buy a Titan V 24GB for £2400 today and get 7 tflops of FP64.

The only case where the Radeon 7 would be better than the 2080 is likely in a small subset of GPU accelerated software that properly supports AMD GPUs e.g. blender.

So, the gist that I got from this was, "There's nothing that you can do about it, so you may as well just have fun."

I can't decide which is the more disheartening part: That this is a reality in which we live in or that someone's suggesting that we just accept it and try to have fun operating inside of it.

I'm going to go look at photos of puppies now...

As found indeed a creepy image, smacking of stylized unease a la Slenderman.

After inverting it I'd wager a dollar to a donut that stylization is entirely an artifact of this being a redacted low-resolution (telephoto? spycam?) image of someone wearing boxy shouldered suit plus tie; with their face redacted, and for some reason their hands. And of course the entire context.

U2 photo? Testing of spy-sat cameras or similar long distance surveilling?

Any which way I'd love it on a T-shirt.
Sadly I'm not sure what happened to them, my family moved away from the area when I was 14. I caught up with him a few years ago, and he did go to college, though I'm not sure if the cards were sold to help pay for it.

As an aside, his dad was for the most part a pretty smart guy, he had a PhD in Physics. He just got caught up in the hype and made a bizarre financial decision after reading articles on the projected value of baseball cards in the future.

Although Laravel promotes ways of coding that keeps the code readable and more fun that the traditional Symfony/Java way (Like really long class namespaces and names that have redundant strings in them etc).

Laravel uses Symfony components but the APIs are a lot more fluent and more natural to use.
For the purpose of selecting a DOM node in a performant manner, you really don't need to know how CSS/XPath traverse the DOM. You just need to know that querySelector exists.
