> During the draft, mostly the poor and minorities get drafted

That that was true, or at least the extent to which it was true, was something which distinguished the limited, exception-heavy Vietnam-era draft from prior uses of conscription in the US.
Why does the link point to a Google redirect to CNET? It this on purpose for attribution purposes?
Xmonad in particular seems to be a special case of complexity at least partially for the purpose of enjoying said complexity.

>Controls when your computer will auto-reboot

>what's so hard about this?

It's not hard. It's that I am out of control of when my PC gets to reboot. It is a small inconvenience, but it should be something I don't have to put up with at all. I've had file updates cut short over "inactive" reboots. 10+ GB downloads that I was hoping to use the following day that never finished due to a restart.
In before this get's blacklisted by the YC Gestapo!

Nah. It works by men having much better negotiating positions in relationship, men being able to cheat and women tolerating that else he leaves. Or by boy putting girlfriend into situation where she either have sex or he leaves for another. That sort of thing.

The actual problem is you can't atomically replace a directory with another one. You have to do tricks where you have a symlink to the real directory and atomically replace the symlink with a new symlink to the new directory.

Another comment pointed out though that most of the time you only need to update the cert, and not the key. So it's mostly a moot issue..
Remember Pushnote[0], wasn't that basically the same thing? It's definitely an interesting concept and there's a market there but not when it's a 'Nazi' site backing it.

No one is in this stinking bordel questions the underlying assumption that the web is an 'open standard' or that 'competition is good' or that somehow the democratization of browser implementations and 'standards-making' is a net win for humanity?

The web is an edifice of pressed shit-board that hasn't been designed so much as piled up. It isn't an open forum of freely-exchanged ideas and social goods so much as a tool in the arsenal of liberal capitalism to more completely atomize and subjugate the individual by forming his proper sense of obligation to have himself devoured by the fetischism of merchandise.

Pluck out thy phone and cast it from thee.
"India, for example, has decided that drug companies largely (it's complicated) don't get monopolies from patents and thus you can buy a lot of low-cost high-quality generics in India because no drug company is getting paid."

The main incentive for the US to enforce patents is that it is at the forefront of technology development, so many patents are held by US companies.

As the lead the US has in technology lessens, as it has been predicted (and has already started) to do so for quite some time due to its poor education system and decreased funding and prioritization of science, other countries will catch up and overtake the US on the technology front, and they'll be the ones getting patents. Then it's quite possible that the US won't care quite as much about patents, and may even start "stealing" technology from other countries.
I believe genius approached it from the angle of "annotating the web" versus "commenting the web"

That article doesn't contain the quoted line. However, it does contain the following line:

Assuming positive intent, it is possible that the article was edited in the five hours since you linked it. However, it was written in 2013 so that seems unlikely.
This looks very nice. I will definitely try it out once support for Java becomes available.

Hi Alan, when we built Pusher Chatkit we took into consideration developers like you who are looking to introduce their first chat functionality into an app. As you noted we include a very generous free tier (1,000 Monthly Unique Identified Users, and all core features of our business plan) to cover implementing and scaling up a chat experience. It's good to note that users are only considered active if they have authenticated and established a session.

Use cases can be varied, so if you have something particular in mind where you need to scale more incrementally I would suggest reaching out to our sales team so we can find the right solution for you.

You can also find tutorials on implementing Pusher Chatkit here: https://pusher.com/tutorials?q=chatkit
multiplicators? You mean because we advocate with those near us? Normal users also advocate in favor of products based on features which are sometimes based on forsaking privacy.
Indeed, it's a very nice story, but appears to be fake. I won't duplicate what other commenters have added in this thread, but one other approach to investigating is to see whether any other images of Yukaghir semasiographic letters can be found online.

Perhaps this wouldn't be foolproof (given that the Yukaghir population is very small, and their materials might not have been published and indexed widely online) but the absence of any other examples certainly seems a little suspect.

No need to patronize. I read the article. Obviously it has problems that need to be addressed. I just don't find the program as a whole to be conceptually objectionable.
I'm surprised they aren't using some of the tapped-out deep pit mines here in Arizona (southern area, mainly around Bisbee). Some of those holes are huge!

Then there's that old diamond pit in Russia that could be filled in (though I think it's still producing)...
Keep an eye on Knative and/or Project Riff. They _can_ scale pods to zero during periods of inactivity, that's one of the bigger selling points, and the startup times might not be as horrendous as you think. (YMMV depending on your runtime and your requirements.)

Riff is really a Function-as-a-Service library, built on Knative, but Knative can run any arbitrary workloads. Riff will soon have support for Ruby again (I promise, I'm working on it[1]) and Knative has this capability now[2]

So, there's a convergence coming and it's going to make a big difference in this cost/benefit trade-off. You need a cluster to run your Knative workloads on, and that cluster has to be persistent and always available to make the magic trick work.

But say you have a small to medium enterprise that runs 75 custom apps, and any 10-30 of them could be in use at any given time. You'd like to take advantage of office hours and turn things off when they're not in use, but you can't guarantee that nobody is going to need some app, some time after 5pm.

The cluster itself can autoscale up and down to a smaller or larger size, depending on how many balls are in the air. Your apps remain responsive even at nighttime, when your cluster footprint is a tiny fraction of what supports the company's daytime operations.

(By "I'm working on it" I really mean, they've made it as easy as they possibly can for new runtimes to be added with their buildpack v3 framework. I riffed on Ruby back in v0.0.7 and it was possible to reuse the work in v0.1.0, after they ported their stack over to Knative. Now in v0.2.0, the work I did on my Ruby invoker is not wholly reusable, but I'm hoping it will be a pretty smooth transition.)

And you didn't say you're using Ruby, but the point again is that anyone can add support for any language, and it's no big deal. I'm basically nobody here, and I can do it...

So that may sound a little crazy, but keep in mind that there are also K8s "virtual node" solutions in the works or already out there. So binpacking your containers into nodes could soon be a thing of the past, and as clunky as what I'm proposing sounds, it may not always be that way.

Sure, AWS could do it with Fargate too, and it might turn out to be just as good, but right now that's speculative. This is pretty much stuff that is all out there now. It's just parts that need to be put together.

The study you linked does not back up your claim.
It won't for a number of reasons, most notably because even though we have registration as a vestige of the draft, we have a strong commitment post-Vietnam to an all volunteer force, in no small part because assuring that the bulk of the population is insulated from the consequences of the decision to initiate war is the best way to maintain the appetite for imperial adventure.
Not only there are multiple plugins that do this now, this is something that was explored by Google itself back in 2009 with Google Sidewiki[1].

This is awesome! I wish you all the best and hope that this takes off.

I am curious about how you use AFL under the hood - how do you scale? Do you use a shared kernel and run a worker process for each physical core, or do you do some virtualization or perhaps run with a kernel patch such as https://github.com/sslab-gatech/perf-fuzz/ ? My experience is that you will hit a wall pretty quickly unless you start multiple kernels by using virtualization, or simply having a very slow binary so you don't get a high number of execs/s to start with.
> I think the variation in experiences is the variation of people with Cortana on. With Cortana on, I've never had a bad experience with app search in Windows 10. Using machines (such as work laptop) with Cortana off there are some very weird moments where search just stalls out that it shouldn't.

My problems have been less with stalling out, than horribly bad guesses at what I'm looking for.

Sometimes it correctly figures out a misspelling, but most of the time it doesn't. Sometimes it won't find a multiword application name unless you type in the first few characters of the first word of the application name. Sometimes you can type in the correct name, and it just pretends the app doesn't exist at all.

Considering that MS makes a search engine and Apple does not, it's suprising how much better Spotlight is at launching apps (I used to get 95+% accurate guess rate) than the Windows Start Search thingamabob is.
Chatkit does exactly everything you want already and even more. Typing indicators,roles and permission ( you could use this to restrict only admins to adding and removing users in a group or deletion of messages).

While you say it is expensive:

- probably the easiest integration you'd find around around. Here is an example of what you described above https://pusher.com/tutorials/chat-app-react-native-gifted-ch... ( probably just 4 - 15 lines of code and you have real time chat, "who's typing" )

- it offers quite a ton of features you might be overlooking right now. An example is sending push notifications to offline users automatically
- pricing is actually generous enough since you get a thousand unique users before paying $500/pm. Except your business is pretty large, you might not hitting that limit any time soon and at the time, you hit the limit, the prices might be justifiable - maybe
No other suggestion was offered in the post I am referring to, just a "sources pl0x" ask. Here is the simplest counter example I can think of.

"Gravity is real."

"Reputed and trustworthy citations from scientific sources required, please."

You can get less and less ridiculous from here ad nauseam, but the point is made.
How do you mean? Electric vehicles just means that emissions don't come from the vehicle itself. I'm guessing you are assuming that the electricity used by the vehicle is coming from an energy source that is partially renewable/carbon neutral, which isn't the case in most states[1].

I don't think its unreasonable to think energy use is lower for reusing rather than making new glass containers, since you would transport them anyway. The tough question would be whether energy use is lower for transporting and reusing glass rather than transporting new, lightweight plastic. I'm also for all glass everything so I won't try to tackle that problem.

Oh, I'm not generally correct, but my process of "writing" generally goes:

- Guess what I think is going to happen
- EXPLAIN ANALYZE
- Ohhh, it did [thing]. Lemme tweak if I can convince it to do [other thing] that should work better
- <Repeat>

I'd argue testing against the DB is a core part of the process for writing a query.

GraalVM is based on Graal, Java's future C2 JIT compiler implemented in Java, and already part of OpenJDK 11.

It's not even just for games. I test my app (Aether, https://getaether.net), on a Windows VM, and I noticed that the performance characteristics of some apps change if you do that.

I can do dual boot, but then I lose my dev environment, it's valuable to be able to apply a patch, compile a new version and try it on the Windows machine.

Being the "IT guy" of the family has shown me that it happens even without looking for crazy.

My wife's grandparents bought a nice Dell all-in-one desktop, running Windows 7, despite 8 being out. Then Win 10 came out just a few years later (less than 3), and Microsoft force updated them. Well, Dell didn't have drivers to support Win 10 (and still don't), so I had to do all sorts of crazy gymnastics to get their monitor back. Content updates regularly break these fixes, of course.

The Google Toolbar project had a feature called "sidewiki" that did the same thing. https://searchengineland.com/google-sidewiki-allows-anyone-t...

That's a big "if" though, only a very small percentage of people can do that. And of those that can, do you want to? If someone solves this problem nicely, why invent your own solution? There are many other problems that are still unsolved, or not solved adequately...

A number of recent studies have shown that PV used to heat water is actually cheaper and more efficient.

It's counter-intuitive, but the reality is that PV has become much cheaper, while solar hot-water panels plus plumbing are expensive.

Plus you can use any surplus PV for multiple purposes.

I was about to suggest the idea of using gears like from a vehicle's transmission (i.e. first gear is easy to turn, will shift to larger when certain condition achieved), but it sounds like these ideas have been hashed out already.
Of course, I'd agree. But my comment is pretty long as it is, and is more concerned with the arrangement of material than how many extended topics you cover. I'm treating perfection as nothing left to remove, not nothing left to add :)

I just re-read the Atavist piece the other day, as Le Roux made one of his first public appearances at a hearing. A truly awe-inspiring piece of journalism about a man who seems to have already lived multiple lives in his 46 years.

This is the most boring type of strawman not worth responding against, but I will say that when I mean our way of life, I mean the rights and guarantees as codified in our constitution, our representative democracy, and the many, many freedoms we take for granted in our country without ever thinking about the cost it takes to enjoy them.
It's likely the same for any break that is in the "not sure if is sprain or break" range.

Years ago I crashed my mountain bike and had a high suspicion that I had broken one of my fingers. Urgent care was closed by the time I got home and cleaned up and my college roommate was in town so I met up with him after taping my fingers together to prevent unnecessary/unplanned movement. Urgent care confirmed a break the next morning, and fixed everything for $300. Healed perfectly.

Anyway, anecdotes are just that, but the emergency room is not the place to go for "simple" things like a possible sprain, minor break.

Does Windows 10 updates still have the Focus stealing problem (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Focus_stealing) ?
In a recent blogpost [1], Hossenfelder responds to a review of her book. All but the first two paragraphs are basically a response to this idea. A brief excerpt:

> In most cases, however, physicists are not aware they use arguments from beauty to begin with (hence the book’s title). I have such discussions on a daily basis.

> Physicists wrap appeals to beauty into statements like “this just can’t be the last word,” “intuition tells me,” or “this screams for an explanation”. They have forgotten that naturalness is an argument from beauty and can’t recall, or never looked at, the motivation for axions or gauge coupling unification. They will express their obsessions with numerical coincidences by saying “it’s curious” or “it is suggestive,” often followed by “Don’t you agree?”.

[…]

> What physicists are naive about is not appeals to beauty; what they are naive about is their own rationality. They cannot fathom the possibility that their scientific judgement is influenced by cognitive biases and social trends in scientific communities. They believe it does not matter for their interests how their research is presented in the media.

Have you read the book or any of her posts about the ideas in the book? There are in fact a lot of people who do claim that research programs and research dollars should be prioritized because of ideas like naturalness or beauty, even when decades of increasingly expensive and time-consuming work has led to no support for the natural or beautiful hypothesis.
