Yes, SUSE indeed started as a modified version of Slackware. For a long time, SUSE's package categories names were based on Slackware's disk sets names (even after rebasing away from Slackware). Later, SUSE hired the author of the Jurix distribution and rebased on top of that. SUSE and Jurix were both from Germany.

History of Jurix: http://linux2.mathematik.tu-darmstadt.de/pub/linux/distribut...

SUSE had a stronghold in the nineties in Europe. E.g. here in The Netherlands, many bookshops would cary SUSE Linux boxes.
Wrong. I like using an event driven architecture in games as opposed to an update driven one. There is no concept of staleness in a single player game running on one machine.
Many of the concepts the author mentions simply do not exist in that context.
In games, event driven = some event happens, all the logic that needs to execute in response to that happens immediately, as opposed to, for example being put on a blackboard and dealt with in some other update loop.

The reason a lot of games have frame-perfect bugs / exploits / glitches is because they use an update-driven architecture. So its possible that for one frame after certain things happen the game is in an inconsistent state.
The version I tried was bundled with the "Linux Bible" book
I'm not an expert at all either but wondering too why this can't be a notification on one of the screens, a SW feature I mean.
I want everyone to go vegan, but I'm pragmatic and can recognize it's a life changing choice. But eating vegan 2-3 days a week is already a healthy step for you and you'll be saving 100+ animals per year from this kind of treatment. (source: http://thevegancalculator.com/#calculator)
The computing + is not associative for inexact types like floating-point. That's why it's important for the Lisp + to be consistently left-associative; the result could vary if that were left to the implementation to do however it wants.

In addition/relation to floating-point, another way in which addition is not associative in computing is if there are type conversions. (+ 1 1 0.1) is not the same as (+ 1 (+ 1 0.1)). The former will do an integer addition to produce 2, and then that is coerced to 2.0 which is added to 0.1. The latter adds 1.0 to 0.1, and then adds that to 1.0: two floating-point additions.

In languages that don't have bignums (which could include some Lisp dialects) whether overflows occur can depend on the order of operations, even when all operands are integers.

The reason we can have a n-ary + is that three or more arguments can be decimated through a binary +. The concept of + is defined as a binary operation.

Lisps have variadic functions that are blatantly non-associative, like, oh, list. (list 1 2 3) isn't (list 2 3 1).

Shumway is in a spot where they need ActionScript 3 support to play more complex content. ActionScript 3 is based on ECMAscript 3. ES3 has support for some depreciated features such as E4X. To do this someone would need to compile the Tamrin AS/ES engine using something like WebAssembly.

I don’t think overwork matters
Same. I had enough cow fluids today.
Agreed, and I think that speaks to the difficulty of being sufficiently grounded in both worlds — music and programming.

To make generative music that is rich in detail and follows the thousands of conditioned expectations of listeners and that has a narrative arc ("global connectedness") at multiple time scales, you need that grounding, interesting & unexpected constraints, and a lot of practice.

I make generative music (sometimes professionally), so I'll share what constraints I've found helpful. None of these are rules, just battle scars.

• Embrace determinism, especially at first. It can be tempting to lean-in to the essence of generative music and have randomness reign supreme ("it goes on forever and never repeats, different every time"), but that makes it very difficult to track the consequences of your decisions as you're composing the system. The stability of determinism really helps you build up a system that can produce minutes or hours-long narrative arcs within the music, and avoid that "lack of global connection". It's this stability that allows conventional musicians to compose music that holds listeners' interest for hours. Hang onto that, and then slowly release it in small, controlled increments.

• Pick a genre, reverse-engineer it, write down its rules, and then turn those into systems. Don't just start blue-sky inventing systems that make music, or it won't scale up to a high degree of intricacy, and the result won't be able to hold listener interest.

• The tones and textures matter more than how you use them. So if you're using samples, make sure you have samples that can elicit and maintain interest and attention. That means variety — multiple instruments, multiple aesthetics, variations of every sound. If you're using synthesis, spend a good portion of your effort making sure the sounds are lush and varied and convey the right aesthetic. It's powerful to mix both samples and synthesis, and to apply dynamic filtering like reverb or EQ, and that too should be driven by a procedural system. Ultimately, tone and texture are your signifiers of quality and maturity, sophistication, professionalism, so pay them special attention.
More recent studies than those from the 60s and 70s though have found that cognitive issues show up in different kinds of tasks:

https://ehp.niehs.nih.gov/doi/full/10.1289/ehp.1104789

Their measures of focused activity were nearly unchanged, while measures like initiative and strategy declined somewhat at 1,000ppm and sharply at 2,500ppm.
To be honest, I'd be much more comfortable keeping my history public in a world without your employer. I'm much less worried about individuals seeing my history than giant adtech behemoths. I'm largely proud of my internet commentary, and apart from some embarrassing fanboyism of Google back about a decade ago, mostly stand by what I've said.

That being said, while I generally post publicly, with some mind what I say is public, over the span of many years, the tidbits you leave online reveal much more about you than perhaps you intended when you said them. Aggregate data is concerning to me, more than someone having a clip of me gushing over being a Glass Explorer.

While I share some of your concerns on quality of discourse, I actually think anonymity can help with discourse in some ways. For instance, posting without a real name, gender, or race, entirely removes attacks or judgments based on your physical traits, and tends to lead people to converse on actual merit or argument alone.
I see a lot of people defending the page this way, but to me the problem is that a webpage about ‘what’s wrong with Apple’ implies a list of issues specific to Apple. Most of the issues brought up here belong on a ‘what’s wrong with modern tech companies’ page, since they are issues found throughout the industry.

Key to the economics of it working was that profit from redeemables (beverage cans, bottles) would pay for the rest of the process. Then came people "harvesting" out all the valuable elements.
Hours worked is inversely correlated with GDP per capita. China needs to step down if they want to try to be competitive.

I can somehow relate to that. I'm suffering from an anxiety disorder since I was 15, was diagnosed with 18 and started some (unhelpful) therapies in that year. Later, during my
masters, at some point I finally had a mental breakdown and ended up 3 months in psychiatry. I was simply overwhelmed by a) coping with panic attacks before, during and after lectures, and b) coping with the increasing pressure to perform. But the major issue behind that breakdown was actually the decision between coming of age, or letting my anxiety take responsibility for my life.

I decided for the first. After psychiatry I was basically able to leave my room and go to lectures again. I took another 2 years ambulatory therapy to take full responsibility for myself, and 5 years to finish my masters.
After that, I started a Ph.D., and during that time my mental condition went from like "cannot imagine how the fuck I ended in psychiatry" to "one final straw, and I'm back in psychiatry".
Although it went well, I certainly would not do it again.

That said, I obtained my masters/Ph.D. at some no-name university in Germany. I was able to pay back my student loan during the Ph.D. studies and left university with savings. Also, I'm not in ruin because of a 3 month hospitalization. Thus, reading about insane performance/financial pressure at (elite) universities combined with the questionable health care system in the US for me is terrifying.

If they were picking up trash from the ground, that would be one thing. Generally, they instead harvest redeemables from existing recycling and trash bins... often dumping the remainder on the street or ground in the process.
Ad soon as I saw the stand and keyboard I had exactly the same thought.
> but the fact that insurance companies can discriminate based on this data means that the healthy don't end up subsidising the unhealthy (which is the whole point of insurance).

I agree with your premise about the point of insurance. How is the discussed idea any different than insurance companies giving different rates to older people and denying coverage for pre existing conditions, in terms of discrimination against the non healthy?
How does lower thermal connectivity cause the food to burn easier?

FWIW, when I was a kid we had pyrex bowls with clip-on handles for stovetop heating. Yes, you wouldn't cook with it, but great for re-heating food.

Dumping untreated waste into landfills has been illegal in Germany since 2005, so that's not a thing anymore.

The Windows API may be old and rotting, but NT is a very modern kernel compared to Linux. It would make as much sense for them to support Linux binaries on Windows. Oh wait, they do ;). I think Microsoft would make quite a splash if they open source the NT kernel. They could even follow Apple's model, where they open up most of the kernel and keep win32 et al. proprietary.

I don't think Windows will die anytime soon. Yes, the traditional Windows desktop will die eventually. This is why Microsoft probably makes such a strong play with Azure and Office 365. But Microsoft can just continue to sell Windows + Blink-based Edge as a modern desktop for web apps that also has support for legacy win32 applications for those companies and individuals that need it.

Building a compat layer on top of Linux seems to make little sense. It will be a huge time investment and while desktop Linux is great for developers, the whole ecosystem is to volatile for most end users. Plus the Linux graphics stack is still not where it needs to be.

Whether they'll acquire a Linux distributor is a completely separate question for me. I think it makes sense to acquire know-how and some influence for Linux on Azure. On the other hand, maybe they don't want to upset other Linux vendors. Oracle, Red Hat, and SUSE are typically used on expensive SAP/Oracle deployments. In fact, they were even SUSE resellers one day ;) [1].

I'm amazed that Suse has $2.5B to buy themselves. It's a horrible OS to work with. Anything not based on Apt as a package manager is a nightmare. What does Suse bring to the table other than pain? It's not as easy as Ubuntu, and not as well-known or well-supported as RedHat (which is also a pain in the ass, but at least a well-known pain in the ass). Who even uses Suse?
I've written a fuzzing library that tests random Unicode inputs and the width of the output was sensible on three platforms (Linux, Mac, and powershell).

Thanks, I have to admit I really just ripped off Google Play Music's interface. The square icons were inspired by the album art for Ryuichi Sakamoto and Alva Noto's "Virus" series of albums. I made a program which generates them for me. The way it works is to split the square into squares, rectangles, and triangles, and then randomly choose which to stroke and fill.

And this study found:

"Within the limitations of this experiment, (1) breathing 4%
CO2 for one hour slows information processing by impairing the response selection stage of processing and not the stimulus encoding stage and (2) with increasing time-on-task information processing is increasingly impaired and the magnitude of this effect is similar for each processing stage. These findings help define a useful model of
human information processing and identify the locus of CO2 impairment."

That could explain the null results found by the Navy.

In response to the "Whirlwind" Heinz Zemanek built the "Mailüfterl" in Vienna at that time. "Mailüfterl" is a Viennese slang word for a very soft breeze that is typical in May in Vienna.

I'm the type of person that loves watches and doesn't like smart watches. Personally I find them to be too much distraction. I'm more of a G-Shock wearing type of user, although I've owned many Garmins over the years for working out, but none enough to wear daily. That was until the Garmin Instinct [0]. You can easily get 10-15 days out of it depending on how much you work out and use the GPS for tracking. I also don't sleep with a watch on, so it's shut off at night. Anyway, point being the Instinct is just enough "smart" yet rugged enough for daily use. One of my favorite watches I've ever owned.

I'm a big fan of procedural/generative music, and have created some of my own. I tend to take a very different approach from Alex, embracing determinism rather than infinite variations, trying to make something more musically complex rather than ambient.

It's because what most people call RGB is sRGB, a nonlinear color space. Interpolating in a linear color space is already much better.
Suse is rock solid and, for a time, was basically the Redhat of Europe.

> Yesterday was Labor Day, which led to predictable stories about how American workers work so hard and are working harder all the time. USA Today presents a perfect example of this genre, with their Labor Day article touting that 55 percent of Americans don’t use all their vacation days, American workers get the fewest paid leave days in the developed world, and even how 41 percent of American workers failed to take a single vacation day last year. Yet, hearing this sort of story over and over does not make it true; in fact, American workers are not particularly hard-working and are working no more today than they were a decade ago.

This article doesn't even attempt to refute the claims of the USA Today article it references!

Closer to 8000' in commercial airliners. While it's technically hypoxia, insofar as it's less oxygen than at sea level, I don't know if 8000' is enough to cause the effects you're describing. Anecdotally, I'm a fat smoker, and I don't seem to notice any of those negative effects at 8000', but I certainly notice them at around 12000' or so.
Thanks! Your reply is much appreciated.
Lol.
If we're talking practical applications, the it doesn't really matter!

Agreed, that sometimes the average rate is fine. That just legitimises my disagreement over the 'worst' sort, there is no worst sort.

Ultimately its just down to semantics. The author stroked his beard and thought about the absolute slowest sort, and called it the worst. I stroked my (metaphorical) beard and found a different kind of worst. Both should be avoided in practical applications where possible.

His is cleverer yes, mine is stupid, that's probably the most relevant metric, and probably why no one submitted a sort that returns the wrong answer, which I would claim could also be 'worst'.

People got caught up in the wave of recycling with the idea that somehow we could actually recycle all these materials with anything approaching reasonable effectiveness. Outside of aluminum, it's basically worthless - and in the cases of recycling paper, it has led to Superfund sites and terrible pollution.

Rainforests are regrowing [0] as at least America has forced companies to actually care about replanting and not just widespread logging with no consequences, but China doesn't give a shit. It's important to note in the blame game that America has done an incredible amount to reverse CO2 pollution, rampant logging, and reverse other environmentally damaging practices in surprisingly quick fashion over the last two decades, but it hardly matters, since industrial Eastern countries have essentially zero environmental regulations.

This is my small batch, artisanal data: As an avid baker and engineer, over the last decade I've had two pieces of cast iron catastrophically fail vs one piece of borosilicate.

This is very close to one of the main theses in Hofstadter's "I am a Strange Loop", that your existence/consciousness must extend into the minds of people you know and interact with.
Doesn't mean much if the planes will never be allowed to fly again (or without costly retrofitting once they figure out what needs to change).
That's not a minor nitpick. It's important to note the difference. If you double the amount of CO2 in a room, that's still not a lot of CO2, and if you displace oxygen to double it, you've still got tons of oxygen. Humans are hyper-sensitive to higher CO2 levels, even while still getting a lot of oxygen.
People try really hard in Germany. But it's still only at something like 40% of stuff recycled. Also, most of that "recycling" means "burn it" for energy.

Beer bottles do remarkably well in Germany. Mostly because a lot of the beer drank is by major brands who Reuse the bottles, and there are good money incentives for people to bring them back (or give them to homeless so they do). Beer bottles don't get moved very far on trucks burning fossil fuels. That system is one of the best in Germany and the world.

Moral of the story 1: drink beer like Germans.

Moral 2: Even in societies that try really hard to recycle well... they still mostly fail.
