We regressed in terms of content features but have made enormous improvements in speed, reliability, and safety. Clicking on a PDF used to mean waiting a long time for Acrobat to load, clicking through various nags about updating because they were years late to the automatic-update party, and closing whatever things their marketing department were currently promoting.
I just ran into this with a seldom used MacBook Pro 2016/2017. I couldn't reset the password via iCloud and eventually I realized the system clock was wrong (on the order of years). I had to boot into the OS X recovery mode and start a terminal and set the date and time by the command line. Of course, none of the login screens have a time/date setting widget let alone show the system time and date so it took a bit of guessing.

Once the system time and date was correct, the iCloud password reset feature worked without issue.

Nonsense.

You can say it's "nonsense" if you want.

But the simple fact is, this idea you apparently have -- that a developer can deterministically "buy people" out of their property (or rental status), even assuming that that it had adequate capital on hand -- is just not how this stuff works.
You need a proofreader.

I have a GTX 970 and would love to replace it with an AMD card.

But that has more to do with Apple's anti-Nvidia vendetta and me wanting to consolidate my gaming computer into an eGPU than any particular preference in GPU manufacturers.

Etiquette is a bullshit code written by aristocrats
Google is not a product company. It shelves and sunsets too many apps for that angle to make sense.

Google is an advertising company. The goal of every Google product is to provide the company with more data, to make users give the company more of their data so that data can be mined for more data.

Controlling the browser or OS means having the ultimate access to the users the ads will be shown to. So if a Google app doesn't help harvesting data, it must be used to push the OS or browser. Google allows for a lot of indirection but ultimately if a product neither harvests interesting data nor helps push users to using Google products that do, there's no reason to keep it around.
Yeah, Google filters, but they work very poorly. Many misses and false positives.
Firstly, I never said having secrets prevents all manipulation and exploitation. But if someone is going to war with your country, the last thing you want is for all your infrastructure, movements, and communications to become public knowledge.

Furthermore, the argument I was responding to failed to allow any nuance or qualification to the reasons the government keeps secrets. Certainly there is a big difference between broad policy decisions or matters of chain of responsibility than there is between tactical information and contextual data collection. I understand government secrecy for the latter, but not the former. I certainly am not going to conflate the two, even as I concede that one is necessary and the distinction hard to enforce.

Under-18s face 'like' and 'streaks' bans on social media
This is why I say memory management isn't "either GC'ed or manual", because it's a continuum between "fully manual" (runtime hands you a slab of bytes, you do the rest) and "fully automatic" (you never worry about anything, not even cycles in the values, and it all "just works"). Between those two extremes there's a lot of gradation, not to mention the fact that all schemes can generally be mixed within a single program, language/runtime permitting.

Thus, arguing whether some particular middle point is or isn't "garbage collection" isn't anywhere near as useful as people seem to suppose, especially if it's being argued in a context where "GC is morally bad in all forms" or something like that. It's all a bunch of tradeoffs and there is no single perfect answer to all problems.

Note that even most "manually allocated" languages don't actually fall into my manual extreme; generally something more granular and automatic than that is offered. However, while nothing except arguably raw assembler defaults to that "fully manual" allocation, it's a useful last-ditch option in a lot of places, often wrapped up with just a touch more automation into something called "arena allocation", where you don't care about where the arena lives in RAM per se and it integrates with the rest of your allocator otherwise, but is just a big slab of bytes otherwise. Even in the GC'd languages I've seen "just give me a big slab of bytes and go away" used, even if it has no formal support.

Personally, I'd consider "reference counting" as a "garbage collection" scheme if the references are counted automatically, and as manual memory management if you're in a context where you have to manage them manually, but YMMV. I break it down that way mostly because in the automatic case, you get the general advantages of automation, in that it's largely correct but often somewhat slower (because it can't elide anything), and managing them manually permits more sophisticated schemes but also is massively error prone (to the point I wouldn't use it for anything anymore; the benefits are available from other techniques and the costs are insanely high). So personally I'd go with smart pointers being an embedded method of garbage collection in a language/runtime that generally is written for manual memory management. It doesn't make the outer language a GC'ed language, nor is it some sort of betrayal of the manual memory management ethos or whatever. Real programs in C++/Rust at scale will tend to use lots of memory management techniques, many of them with high degrees of automation, but the language and runtime themselves are generally manually-managed. It doesn't matter how many smart pointers your program uses, arena allocation is always an option for your next bit of code.

Unfortunately, you're contradicting yourself. Every element of the nozzle in an overxepanded case can not contribute to thrust.

Let's break it down, it will be interesting to see which part do you disagree with?

1. Optimum expansion ratio has exhaust at ambient pressure. (we agree on this)

2. Adding more nozzle, going to overexpansion, reduces total thrust. We can call the expanded part of the nozzle the "nozzle extension". If this wasn't true, then part 1 wouldn't be true (optimum). (we agree on this)

3. The pressure in the nozzle extension, as experienced by the inside nozzle wall, is lesser than ambient. (my claim, that you disagree with)

4. Sampling some area of the nozzle extension, it constitutes negative thrust. (my claim, you also disagree with this)

5. If the overexpanded nozzle extension contributed positive thrust (like you claim), one could just keep on adding more nozzle and get more and more thrust. (Until flow separation.)

6. In vacuum one can add a lot of nozzle (because ambient pressure is zero) to get more and more thrust for the same fuel amount - until one hits mass or size constraints, or condensation or chemical effects too?

It doesn't really matter if the exhaust is accelerated by the nozzle extension or not. If the sum of total pressure points inwards, then when integrating over the nozzle extension area, force points downwards. This is because the momentum given by the exhaust is not the only force acting on the nozzle.

Most likely the gas is just too rarefied so the total pressure it exerts is less than ambient. Even if it gets accelerated (momentum, yay), it's not enough to overcome the pressure on the other side of the nozzle wall.

I'm more concerned about geo blocking by smaller sites. Especially GitHub. It will probably also mean the end of EU access to Reddit.

Basically every smaller site that allows upload of user content will face 1) dealing with legal uncertainty 2) buy content screening packages from Google, Microsoft etc. or 3) give usage statistics a hard look and implement geo blocking.
Scientists on brink of curing blindness after patient has eyesight restored
Actually what most people consider science is in line with Popper's view. When most people think science, they think the "hard sciences" - physics, biology, chemistry, etc. It's fairly recently that the idea of the "soft sciences" ( sociology, economists, etc ) being real science has become popular.

Richard Feynman called "soft science" a pseudoscience, which I completely agree with.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tWr39Q9vBgo

Humanities departments around the country essentially appropriated the good name of science at add more legitimacy to their "soft science". It's similar to how "christian science" or "scientology" appropriated the good name of science to legitimatize themselves in the eyes of the public. Creationists have even created creationism "science" to make themselves look more legitimate.

I just wished AMD invested in truly supporting DL in their GPUs by writing software (at least get one big player like pytorch or keras working 100% there).

I am very happy with Ryzen in my Linux box and would certainly use a GPU from them as well.
What can be done in the circumstance is this: keep your hands to yourself unless you know for sure. It's not difficult.

> People are now too dumb to type addresses?

This is unwarranted condescension. Many URLs are long and non-obvious — do remember that people usually want specific pages rather than a top-level homepage — and there's a thriving industry registering domains which are one typo away from something legitimate and loading them up with ads & malware. For the average person, it's safer and faster just to let Google figure it out.

I don't know about Chrome but Firefox shows the status while you're typing so you can tell when you've entered something such as a space which will cause it to be treated as a search query instead.

You can't fight a subsidy war with uber/lyft now while they're still in growth mode. Once investors start demanding profits, and the prices go up, that's the time to come in and spend your money driving people around. Especially if you hear about others doing the same in other cities, or when some of the big loans are coming due.

It's a commodity, brand doesn't matter. Scale across cities doesn't really help that much. Money helps, but public market investors don't like to see it being spent quarter after quarter.

The truth: I’ll leave for a large enough increase in salary all other things being equal.

What I say at interview: “I love building things. I’ve been interested in computers since the mid 80s when I was writing 65C02 assembly language on an Apple //e. I guess you could say that I have always been a computer geek. I’m still amazed after all of this time that I get paid for doing something that I enjoy this much. On my way to work everyday and while I am working out I’m listening to $list_of_tech_podcasts. I try to spend at least 1 hour a day outside of work just keeping up with technology.”

Any developer with a modicum of emotional intelligence can get pass behavioral interview questions because really, the interviewerer doesn’t expect much from computer geeks and most developers.

How would you know that I am really just in it for the money? I’ve been on the interviewer and interviewee side of the table just as long or longer than most people who interview me. I’ve been through $big_company “how to interview candidates” training. Of course I know the answers you’re looking for.

Oh and the old geek who likes to continuously learn helps to answer the question am I keeping up with technology and why I am not in management.
I feel like every year for the last decade I've been reading about how AMD is just about to make major strides in the CPU and GPU markets. It feels like it never comes. I would welcome it, but it doesn't feel like enough to catch up to perceived Intel performance; at this point, it seems like they need to really exceed it.

Here's a link that's a couple of years old now, but gives a pretty reasonable overview of where it sits in the stack:

As to why you should care, it depends at what level you work. I'm not a graphics/HPC programmer, so I can't really comment on what you'd be using it for in those areas.

For DL applications, though, CUDA/CUDNN used to be the only GPU libraries that offered some of the common/optimized operations you'd encounter in deep learning (e.g. 2d convolutions). That meant you were limited to NVIDIA GPUs within all the higher level frameworks (Tensorflow/Pytorch/etc).

With ROCm more developed, it can supplant CUDA as the low-level library for those frameworks. This means you can start using AMD GPUs for training/inference, which are considerably cheaper.

In fact, in the few months that have passed since I last checked, it now appears that ROCm supports TF - big step.
it means you're no longer locked to NVIDIA GPUs

And as it relates to cost per viewer, HQ doesn't scale well. Doubling or tripling their viewership would result in winners getting paid significantly less, thus decreasing the appeal and losing viewers.

While scaling prizes with viewership will keep the same approximate cost per viewer. They'd need to scale advertising rates/sponsorships faster than both in order to beat this curve, but I don't think a doubling of the audience will result in more than a doubling of the ad prices.

The could do more ad spots per show, but again that risks alienating viewers.

They could make the trivia questions harder, thus keeping prizes larger and mitigating the problems with low prize amounts, but the difficulty increase also risks alienating viewers. It's much less fun to play when you get only 3 or 4 rights and feel you have no chance of actually winning.
Yeah, I think it was Prilosec. With the first one, who had it the worst and had some actual damage by the time we got ahold of the medicine, we also ran through every formula known to man and ended up on some prescription stuff that comes in tiny cans that are nonetheless like double the price of a huge container of the normal kind, then managed to pull back to merely the most expensive variety of normal formula after a couple months.

I'm not sure how large a factor that was compared with just the medicine. The medicine was enough with the other one who had it. If you're managing to do all breast feeding some of the other posts here mention cutting dairy (and soy? One of them says) from the mother's diet helped a lot.

Good luck :-/

the number of dogs in shelters has very little if no correlation to their obsession with particular breeds but instead their lack of understanding what pet ownership is about. Far too many expect animals to adapt fully to their needs and scheduled without regard for the animal's needs.

Many also pick up pets because of child pressure or simply fads. 101 Dalmatians was a shit show because of the number which ended up abandoned as people didn't realize that a large dog was an impact.

Rescue groups are full of dogs that are abandoned because they are too old, required expensive medication, developed eye issues, or worse. As in, far too many people are not mature enough to own pets. Sadly the same could be said for many having children as well.
Those bunker reminds me of an expo near Paris, on the fortifications built around Paris between the Franco-Prussian war of 1870 and WW1. The idea was coming from the siege of Paris during the 1870 war and the French army built a ring of forts around Paris, at great cost. And all those forts ended up outdated when the next war with Germany arrived.
Hi HN! This is an article about using WebAssembly to speed up a web application.

I'm not a fan of today's VC model and have never taken it myself, but the best-case scenario for taking VC is when you're having trouble keeping up with demand.

In some cases, this is because you've tapped into a big market and sales are moving faster than you can scale your operations. You need to do the same thing you've been doing, but you need to do more of it quickly.

In other cases, you might have found a way to drastically increase sales, perhaps from building a new line of business that complements your old one.

HQ Trivia needs something that you can't get with more money, and that's a creative way to avoid being a fad. They needed a way to keep people on their app, and they didn't find one.

The bar associations, while often well intentioned (depends on the state but most are), have very very limited resources to do investigations.

They also receive a large number of baseless complaints (IE are about re-litigating the case. For example, in a divorce, they often receive complaints about lawyers because the client lost, not because the lawyer did anything wrong. )

As such, they spend most of their time and energy mostly investigating egregious issues (IE stealing from clients, etc). They also get referrals from judges about bad or illegal behavior.

It is unlikely a complaint about DMCA behavior is going to go anywhere.
I don't think this has anything to do with Twitter. They got a DMCA notice, so they're legally obligated to remove the content unless TorrentFreak sends a counter-notice.

HQ as a whole and Yusopov in particular refused to comment on the story. Instead it's left with multiple employee accounts. It may be one sided in that it conveys mainly the employee point of view, but when that point of view represents at least half of all employees (more than half signed the letter to oust Yusopov) then it would seem to have a fair bit of credibility.
