The problem isn't that Infowars has content against the mainstream, it's that there is a clear, solid line from Infowars to physical harm being done to others in the real world.

You can express all the counterculture views you want, right up until you start to harm people with those views, then the conversation shifts.

No one is trying to take out the time cube guy, for example...
One month in Kuala Lumpur as a remote developer
I mean, yes, but that's true of any system with competition. At 1441 years old, Kongō Gumi has outlasted a great many things. They will eventually die, though.
That would work, though with what we have currently - I'd call it QWERTY politics, far from efficient and indeed about as inefficient as you can get and any other layout would be better. Exactly the situation with politics in the UK today and indeed, not just the UK that we see this playing out in some form or another.

Maybe one day soon we will move on from a democratic system designed for people who can just write an X and communicate every 5 years towards something more fit for our literate speed of light communications standards we have today.
Are we going to have transputers ? :)
Do you mean the percentage of owners?

I can count on one hand the number of people I know who own a home but don't own a firearm.
Interesting. It's long been the case that a "computer" pretends to be a single processor to the programmer while in fact being a cloud of semi-general processors which communicate through messages. This makes that completely explicit, giving the programmer all the power and hassle involved in speaking as directly to the devices as possible while maintaining isolation. Similar esoteric architectures are already available (e.g. Tilera, or all the way back to the Inmos Transputer).

Given the allocation of particular hardware devices - NIC, RAM, NVMe - to particular processors running a (static?) application process, it's not clear how the filesystem abstraction would work or whether that's simply delegated to the application. This is very definitely a server-focused system as no mention is made of GPUs or interactive devices.
I absolutely don't want any car that uses apps at all. I don't want a computer on wheels. I just want a vehicle.
I took a pay cut for a more meaningful job; it was nothing like I expected
Yes, this is a very easy shot to take. Being full of shit is these people's job, so that's what they do. Not surprising.
Don't kTLS sockets[0] with crypto offloading[1], sendfile/vmsplice, device-to-device DMA transfers[2] and possibly io_uring solve all those things on linux? Granted, they're not POSIX, but they're incremental extensions.

Netflix implemented similar extensions in freebsd[3]

I'm a little late to this party, but I couldn't agree more (except that I'm in the fortunate position of making decisions about my businesses, so we can decide not to use Windows 10 at all for much the same reasons).

We also don't use VS Code at all, for one simple reason: we tried to determine what the privacy policy actually was, and we couldn't. In particular, there appeared to be wording among the various indirectly linked documents that implied Microsoft might at some point upload our source code without our knowledge or consent, with no guarantees and nothing to indicate how it would or might then be used.

Combine that with an organisation that has a recent deliberate strategy of pushing updates whether wanted or not, collecting data whether volunteered or not, and attempting to coerce or deceive users into accepting those things whether it's in their interest to do so or not, and unfortunately while certain people who work for Microsoft and comment here may have no ill intent, it simply isn't safe to trust the company as a whole with the same benefit of the doubt.
Prime really was a stroke of genius. The free shipping was just the lure. Once you’ve signed up, you’re now invested in using Amazon first for everything “because I’m paying for the membership”. Then they started adding video and the other benefits, and it became such a great value even if you don’t use most of the benefits.
Does anyone not realize this? Like, is there a reason to write this article?
This is awesome. If my employer did this I'd probably take a lot of that money and donate to other OSS and charity since I'd neebed working on OSS regardless.
I sort of meant the copy of blender I have open. But that's cool, it sort of illuminates the other weird discussion I am in. Unless I have put the sarcasm on with a trowel, I am otherwise usually pretty literal and often get confused by people telling me what I meant to say and what others meant to say. I'm not entirely sure this practice of projecting adjustments, while common, is all that well rooted in reality.
Sid (Share Internet Data)
Strictly speaking, the sentence "I/O is faster then CPU", aka "memory access is faster then computations" is nonsense, because it compares apples with bananas. One could probably say "transfering x data between CPU and SSD is faster then performing the computation f(x) on the CPU", where still f remains undefined.
That's exactly what happens.
Lenders lend money because it's not always a failure. Lenovo is a great example of a successful PE strategy.
It will turn out mostly fine if you have the passion
To take the class officially, it is called “a non-matriculating student”. The cost per credit is usually less than the matriculating cost.

In the US, many states offer workforce development grants that will pay for all/some of the costs to take the class officially as a non-matriculating student.

Many employers in the US also subsidize such courses. Talk to your boss/hr.
Very straightforward implementation and a breeze to follow, nicely done. One question though, why does the server send only every second update? Wouldn't it make sense to simply lower the server tick rate?
Do I really need to save for my own retirement, given state-funded pensions?
Yes, but I think this is still a special category because any product, diet or other lifestyle choice they promote can have very serious consequences on your health.
> It does not seem wise to charge a fixed one time fee of a few hundred bucks

Maybe you could make the one-time price higher? I've seen some critical libraries cost several thousand dollars, and it was worth it in time saved.
> Because it makes no business sense to do so.

Apparently there are needs, that's why this guide even exists. Maybe not many but there are people willing to pay for better privacy/data protection.

But you are right, this won't generates continuous income, which is bummer for developers.
I went to summer camp one year and another kid brought the TV tuner for the GameGear to camp. We were doing some wilderness survival thing where we had to sleep out in a makeshift structure. In the middle of the night, in the middle of nowhere, he brought out the game gear and everyone gathered around to see what we could watch. All we could get was Lambchop and Matlock reruns. No one cared, though, because, well, hey, we had TV in the woods. Pretty magical, I must admit.
By "alleged patent timing", do you mean the patents are only alleged, or that the expiration dates of those patents are only alleged?

Because either one of those statements is ... confusing to me.
Except for the one true fitness influencer...

I like Jason Scott's take on it [1]:

"I wonder how many times we're going to keep seeing news media post these sorts of news stories as a 'woah, a tornado hit this landmark' without including one single line about 'the landmark was put in the care of a tornado factory a few years back and never saw another repair'"

Now I'm curious: What paper do you read that doesn't have a bias? I'm in the US, but looking for different perspectives.
Repealing the NFA & the Hughes amendment to FOPA would be great.
Like a Humble Bundle forward-slash Patreon for news? I'd certainly try out that kind of subscription model with a smaller monthly contribution, and then scale up if the content was consistently engaging.

Seems akin to how a comment further up likened a model to one that follows public-radio/TV; "supported by viewers/listeners like you"--and I'm already a monthly contributor to my local NPR affiliate.
It doesn't refuse to disable. People are mixing this up with overriding control inputs. It is still possible to take MCAS out if the control loop using stab trim cutout. However when left active it does override pilot inputs. Think of it as the alpha authority that exists on airbuses. However if you follow proper stab trim runaway procedures you cutout stab trim taking MCAS out which restores pilot authority. Again this procedure should be second nature to 737 pilots of any submodel.

In your example, if there were adaptive cruise control, I would turn off cruise control by hitting the button. Same options are present here. However it does mean that braking or acceleration would be overriden until that happens. But the real analogy is if all drivers had to be trained that you turn off cruise control in runaway. If you don't do that, well then you will crash and it's from system failure AND improper general procedure
Somewhere - maybe Banggood? a few years back I saw a most remarkable product - a keychain VHF TV receiver, and not expensive either. It was a real "how far we've come" moment for me.

I didn't buy it because I had no use for it, and now I can't find any references to it anywhere. I suppose its essential uselessness caught up with it, no matter how cool. I wish I'd bought one :(
How to Kill HIV: Target Its “Influencers”
It is great to see GCC's C++17 language support coming along and more effort being put into getting draft standard features in early, as its C++17 support was quite buggy even a year after the official standard release. C++ language support is one area where Clang has typically been ahead of GCC.

The competition between the compilers has been great for compiler users.
No, that's why a vast proportion of people can't afford to buy.
That is not how it works for many reasons on both autistic and non-autistic sides. First, not everyone is as forgiving and willing to engage in difficult conversation over this or that, especially not after being treated badly or seeing someone he likes treated badly. Some people hold grudges, some are cruel, etc.

Yes people will take offense. The performance needed for effective apology or "show of responsibility" is not something autistic person can easily do. It requires skills they don't necessary have. It requires knowing what you have done wrong and they often don't know. It requires being good in politics.

Also, when you tell people diagnoses, they may discriminate. They may start avoiding you and may interpret everything you do as autism - meaning you will be dismissed and your opinions ignored even when they would not otherwise.

On other side, the issues in communication are not just about not understanding super subtle cues, but also in the communication overall becoming abusive - think senior developer micromanaging junior with all the negative consequences on junior that micromanagement has. Or insisting on my way and claiming everyone else is incapable or blocking the project unless everything is my way. Or treating junior with contempt every day or repeatedly claiming that colleague done shit job when colleague is not present because of basically disagreement.

Simple apology wont make people forget those and moreover, autistic may be utterly confused over what it is that come across as micromanagement and contempt to junior.

The harm is done, the cause is inability to put himself from other peoples shoes, but they will interpret it as hostile action and proceed to protect themselves by attacking your credibility back.
I would say "excellent but infrequent," not "plenty."
Whilst I agree and most of these people are just awful, there are some diamonds in the rough. I'm trying to improve my rowing and found this guy: Eric Murray. He's won multiple Olympic and world championship medals in rowing for New Zealand and just gets on with it.

His Instagram feed is good (https://www.instagram.com/kiwipair_eric/) but his YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLTbJObSiRTHW18AIntfTJw) is amazing - packed full of him tips, techniques and example workouts that I've been finding really helpful.
I mean, if you know what his professional status is, why say that he's a postdoc when he isn't?
Everyone who makes universal statements are full of shit.
My understanding is that timestamptz basically does what you want but better. It takes a timestamp in the timezone set in the client, and automatically converts it to UTC for storage, and any other client gets it in their local time based on the value their timezone is set to on their connection or session.

It basically lets you fold all the logic of converting datetimes into UTC and back out of UTC to local time for display into the DB itself. Worst case, if you want UTC and to do it in the application logic, just set your connection timezone to UTC, and you'll be expected to provide and get back UTC times.

It is literally a 4chan hoax, much like the recent seperate but equal rainbow flags. It's clever, even of grossly misanthropic. Never underestimate the effert bored teens will spend 'for the lulz'.
Assuming I'm understanding it correctly, wouldn't the first one be a huge disincentive for the passing of politically/socially unpopular policies that are beneficial in the long-term?
> Nowadays a strong feature point is a decent implementation of CarPlay/AndroidAuto in the vehicle.

I rather strongly prefer a car that lacks CarPlay/Android auto integration in the first place.
> but ofc they don't get that, as mostly private contracting is rare

Is it? I've been contracting in the UK (through my own limited company ofc) for the past two years, at the top end of your band, and had no impression that what I do is rare. I'm glad to see this thread actually, for my next gig I'll definitely push for more money.
> Europe's Article 13 and its companion will make sure that NEVER happens.

The EU audience merely has to be willing to tolerate the latency of being served content from outside of the EU.

The only answer that the EU has to that approach, is to institute a Chinese style blockade and limit access to the Internet (it would become something else, the EUnet, with restricted access to the Internet). The question is whether EU citizens will tolerate that next, required step. Without an EU wall, they can't stop the trivial dodging of their laws by setting up services outside of their jurisdiction and serving to EU users. The US market is profitable enough to trivially support serving to EU users without any regard for making money there (Facebook could operate profitably with 2.2 billion global monthly actives with only monetizing the US market; Google could serve its search engine to a global audience profitably by only monetizing the US).
My wife is a doctor of Physical Therapy, and I've learned incredible amounts about the human body.

Not, how to get stronger faster, but more specifically which biological processes is the body capable of?

When I read people who suggest yoga , massage, chiro, weird exercises, etc... I just wonder- Why?

There is enough information on the internet to learn there are only a few ways to change muscles. Massage, manipulations, and stretching have their own merit, but without (hypertrophy) strengthening, is temporary.

Strengthening is one of the few things that is lasting.

I genuinely feel bad for people who think yoga is going to make their sitting back pain go away. The yoga infulencers and chiros will tell you whatever you want to hear.

Edit: lots of confusion about yoga and Physical therapy. A physical therapist doesn't teach you a workout. They use each tool to solve a body problem. Yoga is general exercise and stretching. Yoga might make you stronger, but it's not likely they are targeting the weak muscles directly, but rather giving you a workout routine.

A century ago yes, fifty years ago I'm not so sure, thirty years ago almost certainly not.
I have started being just as concerned about really popular "developer advocates" on Social Media.

They find a tool or toy they like and mention how great it is (perhaps from their own company) and the mass of followers retweet and push it.

In the age of social media it's the perfect marketing strategy but the signal to noise ratio is low in my feed and I'm skeptical of anything I see on Twitter where I'm much more accepting of the _same content_ on here.
No, you dumbass, in people. Jesus Christ, read the article before firing off a snarky comment.
There are a bunch of companies that give back to open source maintainers through a better approach...tidelift [1] is one that comes to mind. Has anyone been on their open source programme? Does it operate well?

Yoga makes you strong as hell, though? Have you ever done yoga or do you think it's just stretching? It's basically a set of advanced bodyweight exercises.
No, you'd probably have to rent unless you can get a massive deposit from somewhere.
> If my car is unsafe, to me, is it not my own risk assesment to judge?

Not when you are endangering others on the road.
I'm not suggesting you do but if society were ever to do that, I'd imagine that people who were avowedly promiscuous would be viewed as risk takers.
So in other words, still slavery. Right?

I mean, there's still slaves.

"Your kids can be free! But only the ones born after the next Vernal Equinox falling on a Tuesday. Oh, and by the way, You can never be free."

Again, a solution that's ludicrous on its face and doesn't really get rid of slavery. Kind of like the compromise we had here, where you could "technically" have slaves in the North. (Of course, occasionally in the North, your neighbors came by to kill you and take your slaves to Canada. But you could have them.) Obviously, it just turned out to be not a very workable solution. Like any compromise on an issue like that. There were just a whole lot of people out there taking that whole "..then, thenceforward, and forever free.." thing deadly seriously.

Either you have slavery or you don't. It's kind of binary. You really can't go into a roomful of pregnant high school girls and pick out the one who is the "most virgin" is kind of my point. It's ludicrous to think that you can.
I looked into this extensively after getting an offer to move from Berlin to London and renting somewhere like Wapping in London was still 3x the price of renting in Mitte in Berlin. It takes a lot of additional salary to make up a difference of 2000 euros a month post tax.
It's a way to relabel normal immigration by upstanding people into nefarious "white genocide".
And CNN calling out Covington kids essentially doxxing them on live T.V.?

Unknown unknowns are more likely to cause problems and delay completion, not accelerate development.
A credible newspaper should do some fact checking before printing what 'sources say', otherwise its just PR for whatever wants to get this published.
But it eases (does not eliminate) a problem that doesn't have to exist in the first place.
ORMs are great for quickly standing up a database, but if you need advanced features you should probably just use raw SQL. Most ORMs even make this very simple and safe.

It's _like_ rainbow parties, except for the explicitly political bent that seems only to advance white nationalist motives/politics. Certainly, creation by 8chan users does not disprove white nationalism. If anything it makes it more believable. Have you seen the political discourse on 8chan lately? One of us has fallen into the trap but I'm not sure who.
Good point.

There's a lot more news outlets than there used to be when I was a kid. No question about that.
A separate note, you decide if you are willing to sell out your audience.

I don't want to.

I make lots of money at my job, my studies and advice are a way for me to help people.

Selling snake oil is only going to push people away.
The people who make the deal happen get a commission, so there's a sales person selling the deal to the people selling the money.

Everyone is getting sold, so no one really knows the truth.

Yeah I clarified in the reply that I don't think it's one or the other but all of the above. I'm trying to supplement the author's write-up, not override it. I hat that it's become a case of a single fault. It's not. It usually never is. And people are arguing only one side or the other. In every incident we need to look at the whole picture.
Right, I fully understood what you where saying.

> only relatively tightly-controlled entities

As in anyone who can copy a number down? Furthermore the actual credit agencies aren't really well controlled, they're just the big version of that one (or few) person (people) who knows all the gossip.

> avenues for recourse can affect your credit score.

I haven't heard of these and seriously doubt their effectiveness.
I have a hard time following what the author is trying to say exactly. As far as I can tell, he seems to be making 2 interwoven points, which have nothing to do with the clickbait title.

1. There are "fitness influencers" on instagram who are trying to build a career out of this

Ok. There are also software bloggers who are using their blogs to build up their tech careers. And startups who are using their blogs for marketing/PR purposes. I wouldn't go around accusing Robert Martin of being "full of shit" just because he wants to build a career out of the things he writes about.

2. There are some "fitness influencers" who haven't earned the credentials needed to be taken seriously

Sure, but that's the whole premise of social-networking platforms as opposed to traditional media. It seems a stretch to accuse everyone of being full of shit just because they chose to build their brand using social-media. What's next: "Everyone on the internet is full of shit"? "Everyone on Hacker News is full of shit"? "Everyone writing articles on random sites like MelMagazine is full of shit"?

Personally, this whole article reeks of clickbait and faux-outrage.
