Great point on being conscious and aware of it. For me the entire time, I knew something funky was going on, but I was wondering why. Like I said in the top comment, words and letters go in shambles, but I'm able to think and know that it was an odd event.

Excellent tool. rg is very fast. I am using it at work now :)
And I'll say that I'll happily fly the 737 Max with a first-rate airline, and avoid flying any plane on an airline with a worse safety record than Aeroflot. Both Lion Air and Ethiopian Airlines have similar safety records to this century's Aeroflot, whether by incidents/hour, incidents/rotation or incidents/plane. No comparison to the American/Delta/United/BA/KLM/Air France/Lufthansa/etc of the world. (Seriously, if you've had more 'incidents resulting in fatalities' this century than Aeroflot while flying half as many planes... Let's just say that Ethiopian does not meet my standards for a safe airline. And that's only counting 2000-2018)

Similarly, I'd like any plane I'm flying in to have a fully qualified pilot AND copilot, and I don't consider 200 hours of total flight experience to be 'fully qualified'.
Yeah, that's why the article talks about decreasing the amount of CPU work. From the context of disk IO though (which is what this thread seems to be about) this can't help.

>> As a cyclist, I get to decide if I'm a pedestrian or a vehicle. I can pop on/off my bike at will

> Keywords there being, on or off the bike. Off the bike, walking beside it sure, you're a pedestrian, on your bike, riding a vehicle.

Sorry, that's just a wordo. I can pop on/off the road/sidewalk _on my bike_. I assume context would have made that clear. It's legal to ride on the road AND the sidewalk in my city.

> You're not a superhero by riding a bike. You're not making it easier, you're adding one type of obstacle for everyone to look out for. One that's small, fast and fragile and behaves unpredictably. Maybe instead of demanding respect from everyone, use situational awareness and understand people are probably pissed at you, because they're worried about killing you. Acting like you can just ride anywhere, anytime with impunity makes the act of not killing you more difficult.

This is the most ungenerous read of my comment I can imagine. In any case, I can see that you want to be angry and right. Good day.

The last test before my lobeectomy was a SEEG surgery. (I had 11 electrodes 3"+ long shoved directly into my grey and white matter) The last part of the test is stimulation. They're applying stimulation at different voltages, amperage and frequencies to very specifically triangulated ares to be sure there aren't any cognitive, motor neural or autonomous functions in the parts they want to resect. I had to describe what I was seeing, feeling or hearing for each stimulation. It was absolutely bizarre. For instance, during one of the settings I had no muscle tone and struggled to lift my arm to point at the TV, another I had an increasing frequency sweep from one ear to the other. It was neat-o.

I'm a software engineer working on web applications as well. My company handles data in the exabyte scale. I've spoken in depths with coworkers tasked with filtering illegal or prohibited content, and have done limited amount of work on this system (to be fair, mostly refactoring logging and other orthogonal tasks - I've never introduced new heuristics or changed the filtering logic itself).

It's easy to do when it's the same files or data trying to be uploaded, or when there's a way to consistently identify it as prohibited. It's hard when people are actively trying to evade the filtering algorithms. Here is one easy example: a lot of copyrighted work like to shows can be found on YouTube where the copyrighted video is displayed on a smaller section of the screen (e.g. a rectangle in a corner with some animated stuff around the rest of the screen). This is because such editing makes it harder to detect. Maybe YouTube has beaten this countermeasure by now - it's a cat and mouse dynamic by nature.

To be fair, this is just my perspective. If someone with greater authority on this subject can give me technical explanation as to why Facebook's 80% preemptively blocked rate is not good I'm happy to hear it. But from what I know, an 80% preemptive block rate on an hours-old video with a significant number of people actively trying to avoid the filtering logic is an impressive feat.
similar trend in new york, I think housing prices reached their peak in 2018 and so far they are either flat or slightly falling. in some parts of the country they are not even back at pre 2008 levels, in other parts they have passed pre 2008 levels just recently. sounds about right. now lets wait for that market correction that 75% analysts predict will happen in next 2 years to happen

This would depend upon which version of GNU grep one installs...
About 10 years ago (when this article was written), I upgraded a RedHat system and discovered that some of my scripts were running 10 times slower than they had on the previous install. I isolated the issue to grep and benchmarked the grep from the previous release against the current release. The new grep was 10 times slower. I didn't have much more time to waste on the issue so I simply copied the grep binary from the previous release to the new install and everything was fine afterward.
999 lawyers out of 1000 wouldn't even be aware that no-select or no-right click are possible and I can't think of any potential legal risks that this would mitigate.

Just to follow up on the first issue: my laptop has a touch screen. The framework I use (Love2D, which is built on SDL2) can detect this and receives multiple simultaneous touches.

In Harmopark the touchscreen is detected, but multi-touch doesn't work. Therefore I had to use touchpad.

It might take people a while to realize their taxes changed but mortgage rates are instant. The loan you can afford on a given payment goes up and down with the rate without delay. Since most people go house shopping with a preapproved mortgage this has an immediate effect on the market price of houses.
This is really true. I keep an eye on the SF market and $1M will buy you a tiny home (1100 sq ft) that has had little to no upgrades in the last 30 years in a neighborhood that is still "up and coming".

If you want what most middle class would regard as a nice home (1500 sq ft+, upgraded in the last 20 years, in a nice neighborhood), you're looking at $1.5M-$1.75M. Or with 20% down, a monthly payment (mortgage, taxes, insurance) of over $9,000+ per month or nearly 100% of the take home pay for a $200,000 a year job.

Maybe it's just wishful thinking, but houses can't keep going up like that. Take a look at the historical Case-Shiller data for SF[1] and tell me it's not "bubble-like". SF will always be expensive (always has), but this seems ridiculous.

> You're presuming that everyone has affordable access to a (reliable) car. That's not necessarily always true. Amtrak is significantly cheaper than renting a car to travel short to medium distances when there's a corresponding route.

We're talking about Amtrak in rural areas here, and for a statistical definition of 100%, 100% of folks in rural places have access a car. Life is impossible without one.
As to urban poor--they take the bus. A saver fare for Austin to Houston is $48. Greyhound will get you there for $9.

Please do not. The best thing you can do it get sixel working on more terminal emulators, particularly Windows ones like PuTTY and TeraTerm. Do any free native windows terminal emulators support Sixel?

I'm working on embedded software for some industrial equipment the runs over a serial port, and I'm running into all kinds of annoying problems.

I use Linux, customer uses Windows.

In Linux (Ubuntu 16), I found that large paste to Xterm does not work (I know for sure that this used to work in the past). It seems to discard data when Xon/Xoff flow control kicks in, or when a buffer is too large. I've tried minicom, PL2303, FTDI, picocom, my own serial program, XTerm and Gnome terminal. I'm pretty sure the problem is X or Unity (a C program that transfers data out the serial port works just fine). On the other hand, Xterm supports Sixel, so the embedded software can display graphs.

[Followup: I just traced this problem to "picocom", but it has been fixed in a newer version].

The idea is that I should be able to select calibration data from a spreadsheet and paste it into the terminal emulator connected to my device.

In Windows, embarrassingly, large paste works just fine, for example from TeraTerm. But Putty and TeraTerm do not support Sixel.

I suppose XTerm in Cygwin might work, but it would better to have a native Windows program.

I've not tried Mac, but nobody in the industrial world uses them.

From the article -- Alan Barbic, president of the Silicon Valley Association of Realtors, said agents on the Peninsula are working harder to sell high-end properties. “Without a doubt,” he said, some professionals have been priced out of the market.

This is why I always cringe at articles that say "Nobody can afford to live there." The reality is that lots of people can "afford" to pay these prices, more than there are homes, hence the high prices. When people stop being able to afford the houses, or willing to pay high prices, guess what, the prices go down. When I bought my current home it was during one of the "downturns" when everyone said "Silicon Valley is dead, look at all the chip companies laying off people and going out of business!" And then the Internet became the new thing and the market rebounded. And then it crashed again and house prices went down, and then it rebounded again.

Houses cost what people are willing to pay for them. And when people stop paying what is being asked, the price goes down. Speculation can hide some of that dynamic during periods of rapid price increases but a lot of speculators go broke and give up. We saw a lot of that during the mortgage meltdown.

I think it is great that the prices have moderated. And I think the number of new housing units coming on line has helped that as well.

It was just an example, but who are you to say it’s not already a huge problem? It surely is to somebody. Maybe they work at YouTube. Modified vehicles spew enormous amounts of pollution into the environment which as we all know is a huge crisis. Driving highly modified vehicles on public roads is also a huge public safety hazard. Nobody needs 1000 horsepower on public roads. See how this can get out of hand? It all depends on who is deciding what is problematic.

> I think specifically I would second guess myself for the syntax of the cards I was creating - and if there was another better way to do it.

This kind of perfectionism has also been bothering me. ("I need to write the card perfectly, or else it's not even worth doing or even actively harmful.") But there's a couple of points worth remembering to change this belief:

1) If a card is bad, you will notice it when reviewing. It will be difficult to remember (i.e. you will fail the card often compared to other cards); it will be annoying to review (there's a general sense of "ugh" and/or confusion when you see the card); it will be unexpectedly time consuming to review, etc.

2) Bad cards can always be refactored. You can suspend the card (where the card is still in the database, but removed from the learning queue); reword; or split into multiple cards.

Michael Nielsen [0] gives an example of a card which asked for the syntax for creating a symbolic link in Linux. He always messed up the order of the filname/linkname, so he created an additional card that explicitly asked for the order of the filname/linkename in the ln-command.

3) The only way of learning how to make good cards is by just starting making cards, and then noticing which ones don't work.

When a card doesn't stick, it's useful to ask yourself what doesn't work and why. Is the back side surprising when you reveal it? If so, maybe rewrite the card to add more context to the front to make it clearer what you're asking for. Do you always miss one or two pieces of the answer? If so, maybe split the card into multiple cards, each of which asks for one part of the answer. (Or add an additional card to direct your attention specifically towards what you struggle with, ala Nielsen.) Etc.

4) There's diminishing returns on card improvement. Time spent on perfecting an already OK card is time taken away from creating new cards to remember new information. If your goal is to remember as much as possible in a given time, spending time on perfecting already existing cards is trade-off not always worth making. (The quote: "a poem's never finished, only abandoned" comes to mind to highlight this.)
