There are traded offs in the decision. The TCAMs generically are rows of "key," "mask" and "result." A bank of TCAM can, at great power expense, answer "which is the result from the first row where my input anded with the row's mask equals the row's key." Some chips let you swap banks between different functions. Internet carriers tend to need a lot of l3 route lookups. Enterprise customers tend to want more access control list entries. From the outside this looks like the initial firmware aimed to be a middle ground, and carriers needed space shifted around. However, at every nice round power of two we are going to be having some hardware hit limits in what can be done even if the only priority is l3 routing. Often there are fixed function banks, and even if they were all flexible, at least some ACL features are needed on most (if not all) routers.
Nevermind we tried to curb stomp you for the past 25 years. Haha.

Aren't plastics usually reasonable to burn as well? As in burning mostly produces CO2 and water? Or do common plastics contain some nasty atoms we dont want in the air in any way?
AAA studios didn't invent the model and they're still not the worst offenders, not because they're any more ethical but because they get more push back from their player base when try and take it too far. It was really the mobile and casual web / Facebook games that invented most of the dark patterns and are most effective at ruthlessly exploiting them.
Sounds great, however I had already assumed that in order to save money, Windows 10 was probably just an obfuscated linux kernel running some weird MS fork of Wine.
> Windows laptops are superior to MacBook Pro's for development in every way

‘Windows laptop’? Historically, the Mac(book)s strength was its superior hardware quality. Both in "fit and finish", but also more tangible things like it’s trackpad, keyboard, and robustness (please remember I said historically). These are traits of specific hardware models.

What Windows laptops do you think are superior to Macs?
Reading each one of these made me silently scream inside. I'm not elderly yet (on the outside, I suppose), but each one of these things is poor UX and makes me absolutely livid.
If they cooperate fully, Rider A has the strongest chance of winning the race. If Rider A defects, he has a lesser chance of winning the race. If Rider A cooperates and Rider B defects, Rider A has the worst possible chance to win the race. I’m not sure how you see this as being a better situation for Rider A.

Note that in my example I am, for the sake of simplicity, assuming a single race and am not talking about a stage race where one rider might be stronger but would happily agree to take second because the stage win is of lesser value than the overall time. When I refer to a stronger rider, I mean one who has a solid chance of holding off the pack solo, whereas the weaker rider would almost certainly be unable to be. When the two reach the finish line, I assume they would be reasonably well-matched for a sprint, just for the sake of providing a simple example.

In reality, it’s rarely so clear. But if someone knows that cooperating and getting second place is a better result for them in practice than fighting tooth and nail for first and potentially throwing it all away, they’ll make this kind of offer. Likewise if the other cyclist strongly values first place but thinks it’s too risky to cooperate with someone who might be try to snatch victory away at the finish line with a sprint, they’ll be relieved to hear the other person give this offer. Making this offer and reneging is considered poor sportsmanship, and it rarely happens because (presumably) racers expect that doing so will prevent them from being trusted to cooperate in the future.
It's all about content and demographic targeting. Female targeted comics basically do not exist in the west. Shoujo manga is not popularized / suppressed by the western community. Webtoons have a lot of female creators early on represented that continuously pump out women targeted content. Women could easily be 80% of the core video game playing population if the correct content was made. It's an absolute joke that it's been more 10 years and we still haven't gotten a single twilight video game.
I have no objection to the idea that capitalism is basically a force for good, and appreciate the gains and improvements in our standard of living over the last century. Property rights, to a reasonable degree, are great.

But all this is orthogonal to aristocracy and the insane wealth gap we see today. You argue well, with language like “confiscatory taxation”, but you really just are claiming we can’t have progress without embracing unlimited winner take all.

This is clearly nonsense. You can have one without the other.
If you’re able to figure out how to write working rust code, you can learn how to google where ‘await’ goes.
I like that in Australia, retailers and others have to show the final amount. It seems that because sales taxes can't be known definitely for a given consumer at time of advertisement, certain businesses abuse this to include other unmentioned fees. Like resort fees at hotels. I would much rather look at a business' offerings and know immediately what I will be paying out-of-pocket. Federal sales tax could make that far easier.

China hasn't actually been communist in a long time. I think the current situation is that the growing middle class will give at least tacit support, so long as they keep growing. With memories of the late 60's still hanging over that nation, they prize stability more than nations that haven't lost it in living memory.

Now, if the economy turns really sour, then like Indonesia in the 90's they may discover that the populace gets restless very quickly. But, for now, I think the Chinese middle class is not in the mood to make big trouble.
Why would companies just switch to Linux?

Enterprises don't just use free OSS software like that. They'll use Redhat or some other corporate-backed variant, and in the end the license cost will be the same but most software and drivers don't work, users will need to be retrained, and support costs will rise dramatically. They can't even use .NET to build any internal desktop apps either.

It's a terrible deal.
Agreed, arguments will not convince them they are wrong. Data will not convince them they are wrong. Attempting to force them to vaccinate will not only make them fight more. In addition to fueling their arguments to grow their ranks, they will likely be able to attract others to join their fight on ideological principles.

I propose the following (briefly):

* Though admittedly callous, do not force vaccination, do not penalize refusal to vaccinate. Sadly, there will be a toll. But, eventually, this will change some hardliners' opinions. Having them advocate to vaccinate will be more effective.

* Focus on the fringe cases. For example, if the child desires to be vaccinated, or if one of the parents wants vaccination. Allow this to expand to concerned grand parents. Civil courts.

* Continue with the information campaign. As the decades roll by, more and more hard data will be available showing occurrences of autism (or whatever it is they claim is caused), life expectancy, etcetera.

In other words, focus on those who have not been indoctrinated yet. Adjust your strategy on constraining this movement to the fringe. Do not invite lengthy court battles determining whether or not they have the right not to vaccinate. Let's just prevent building case law [edit] in that area.

edit2: Let's avoid building case law on whether or not the government is allowed to force vaccination. Of course, building caselaw wrt my second point is unavoidable.
Re #2, if you move things first the filter will be prefilled with how you just searched. This works for me, but probably only works for simple things.
It makes perfect sense to me. I love the graphics that illustrate what the docs relate to. I don't need to do a lot of prior reading to grasp the lexicon being used.
This can’t work because of Jevon’s paradox [0]. Every barrel of gasoline created by this process just displaces a barrel of fossil gasoline, pushing down the price of gasoline at the margins resulting in increased consumption.

CO2 neutral gasoline can only work if you can get the cost below the marginal cost of production of fossil gasoline such that the oil stays in the ground. This is a massive ask on thermodynamic grounds.

To the best of my understanding, here's what happens.

* containers.json is reset to default

* if you have any non-default containers, they are lost

* the underlying data is still in IndexDB (??) but isn't connected to the custom containers that were wiped out

* if you're clever and can read the IndexDB (or wherever the data is, it's moved a few times) then you could probably rebuild your containers.json file
It's universal to not mock someone's family, but that's pretty universal in everyday life, too.

As for the rest, well, different athletes often have very different ideas of what they consider unsportsmanlike. Runners like Ron Clarke and Steve Prefontaine called it "chickenshit" to not race as hard as you could right from the start, but the cyclists here apparently have no such compunctions.
It's quite simple really: everyone is spying on everyone to further their own strategic interests.
'The future of life on Earth lies in the balance' – a picture essay
For commercial use of the web, things like internet banking, purchasing, etc., I use what is "recommended". The popular web browser.

For non-commercial use of the web, I use what I want to use. A simple http client and/or text-only browser.

My day-to-day use of the internet is almost always 100% non-commercial.

I never want to use a Javascript-enabled browser for simply retrieving information from the web. For example, reading. This is non-commercial activity.

For simple information retrieval, I find a large, complex, popular, recommended "browser", a single, "do-everything" program, is overkill and, counterintuitively perhaps, such browsers loaded with "features" actually limit what I can do. Using smaller, simpler "one-purpose" programs to retrieve web pages allows me more flexibiilty. I can be more productive.

Using single-purpose programs, I also find the retrieval process to be more reliable and robust, not to mention more transparent. I know exactly what I am sending. Unlike the popular browsers, these programs are not fetching and running code from the internet automatically. I feel a greater sense of control.
The good news is the mid- to high-end of the hard drive market will be the last to go as SSD can't compete there (yet). The bad news is that in the short term I would expect progress in mechanical drives (both cost and absolute capacity) to slow even more than it already has over the last decade as the market opportunity will warrant less investment by storage companies. By the time the end game plays out, there will be cost effective alternatives. (whether or not they'll be available to consumers is a different question)

Look at it this way: the optical drive/disc market has been 'dead' for years but you can still pick up a new DVD burner for ~$20. Hard drives will likely follow suit: at some point it won't make sense for hard drive manufacturers to invest in developing new drives, but they'll keep churning out the existing stuff for years and years until demand dries up. They've already done the expensive part (developing the drives, establishing supply chains, building the plants and setting up the manufacturing lines), and will keep doing the cheap part (actually making them) as long as there's a market.
That is probably more indicative of the kind of content that pulls in eyeballs when broadly advertised than the genre as a whole. For example https://www.heartofkeol.com/ probably counts as a "webtoon" and follows a different set of tropes.
On paper, no. We're all insured by the FDIC/NCUA up to $250k per institution (or account? I forget). In reality, I think the systemic risk means everyone has deposits on the line as the FDIC can't cover multiple bank failures.
I read something about this a little while ago - if I recall the analysis correctly the energy payback was in the order of 1-2 years for the average (300W or so) panel. Not bad for a 20 year life, but we will need recycling advances in the meantime as we will have so many panels reaching end of life in the next decade.
The author writes:

”While philosophers in ancient Greece raise sceptical questions concerning others, it is has been suggested that the problems they raise tend to be ‘thin’ rather than ‘thick’ ones (see §1 and Avramides 2001). Plato and Aristotle, for example, discuss the value of friendship, but do not ask why we should think others exist to be friends. Sorabji claims that “it never occurs to Aristotle to raise doubts about other minds” (1974: 88). According to Sextus Empiricus, sceptics of the Cyrenaic school raise problems about the minds of others, but it is not clear that the problem they raise goes beyond the ‘thin’ one, How can I know what another thinks and feels? (Tsouna 1998a).[17]”

I wonder if there is literature that points to the ‘thick’ problems. Are there philosophers that write about the limits of ‘other minds’?
As some siblings have pointed out there are specific uses plastics are good for - and I don't think the goal should be to reduce plastic usage to zero. I think it's more important to go after stupid consumer product usages of plastic that are unnecessary, a moderate amount of plastic use and reuse is totally reasonable and sustainable, when we have half the mass being tossed away in the form of clamshells then we have an issue.
Extreme weather conditions will be paradise, not the worst case scenario. When we reach 3 degree mark we are going straight up to 4 and then 5. Between 5 and 6 degrees the world is over in the most spectacular apocalyptic way you can imagine. How far away is this? I’m guessing your kids won’t want to have kids to spare them the suffering of 4 degree rise. At that point we will be fighting wars, billions will need to migrate north, nukes are on the table. The sad thing is, once we get there we have inevitable human extinction. Fresh water and food shortage will be a massive problem. A few or more billion people will die. How you get to extreme weather as the worst case scenario is beyond me. Look at how complex ecological systems are and how they affect one another. Acidification will bring about ocean life extinction and phytoplankton suffocation. Ice will melt, all of it, sea levels will rise, ocean currents totally screwed up, superstorms, flash flooding of biblical proportions will displace everyone in the coastal region. Migrations will trigger wars, food will become a luxury, methane will trap more heat, ozone will poof, enjoy your cancer.
Insurance has nothing to do with this. The financial regulatory changes of the 1990s recreated this problem that we have today.
While I don't believe the allegation about ES and CN.

> Hong Kong is NOT China.
It actually is, while HK enjoys a high degree of autonomy, it is still a "special administrative regions" of China and has been since 1997 when the 99 year lease expired.
That's just in the "professional" version that costs extra. ;-)
The collapse of the Western part of the Roman Empire would qualify. No matter how much life went on as before in the rural parts (vide Auson and his Mosella, which tells of peace), the loss of scientific and cultural knowledge is just staggering.

If I may ask, where does she consume them?
Yeah and I don't think talking to a stranger, trained staff or not, is going to be anyone's cup of tea when they're on mushrooms. It should be an experience for friends whose company you truly enjoy - and trust to keep you cool if you get anxious.
Pay a little more attention to the hard drives you're looking at. Almost all the product listings for tiny hard drives are for models that are several generations old, usually with branding that the manufacturers have long since retired (WD Caviar, Seagate Momentus). The cheapest listings are often grey market sellers of old stock with no manufacturer's warranty.

Seagate has abandoned all capacities below 500GB, and they offer limited options for form factor and RPM at 500GB. Western Digital still lists one 250GB model and two 320GB models, but none of them are cheaper than a 480GB-class SATA SSD.

Current 500GB hard drives start at $38-40, and 480GB SSDs start around $48-50. These capacities are sufficient for typical consumers.
I did something very similar for a logging system, more than ten years ago.

Circular buffers were shared between user space and kernel. (Allocated by user space, mapped into kernel with get_user_pages.)

User space threads just added messages to their circular buffer by copying in data, hitting a barrier and updating a head pointer.

Like io_uring, I avoided too many system calls by having a kernel thread poll for changes. User space would only make a system call when the ring would near a "high water mark", like 85% full or whatever.

The circular buffers could outlive the process which created them and attached them. A process could crash and go away; the kernel thread would still process the last messages written right up to the crash.

Not everyone around was keen on the idea. What do you mean just stick it into a buffer and the kernel will pick it up. Polling? Bah.
I know it's possible this way but I've mentioned "very easy" intentionally. I'd manage with what we have if I really needed it but if it was easier it could attract much more people who generally are scared away by words like JNI and C-compatible pointers.

If I were developing a program language and sought to attract more people I would consider seamless invocation of code written in other languages a strategic height.
Some of the existing WSL distros (like Ubuntu) already include package managers (like apt).

I was having a conversation about this with friends last weekend. Compared to Asia and Europe, it's really hard to grow elderly in America. America is an atomized, individualistic society, for better and worse. Aging related loneliness hits much harder here than elsewhere. It seems that in both the NYC metro area and SV metro area, it's not great to be elderly, and people don't treat the elderly very well. This is not the case in Asia where my parents are from, nor was it the case in the countries in Europe I visited. I guess there are the notable exceptions in America IE Florida, but I'm not sure if there are any other places where becoming elderly is remotely pleasant or not isolating (and I'm making huge assumptions about parts of Florida here).

I don't know if there's an easy solution to this problem. It seems to be a very deep part of a trade-off made very early on in the development of America's cultural fabric. I'm not sure if (knock on wood that I ever get there) I'd want to retire in America. Unfortunately, I'm not sure if the grass is that much greener elsewhere.
One other element to webtoons' success that isn't mentioned in this article: When I see people talking about comics with LGBT themes that aren't from the US, a significant % of them are Korean webtoons on one of the multiple portals that have dozens of active series with those themes in them. This seems like a savvy way to target audiences that are traditionally underserved (i.e. if they want to find this content, japanese or otherwise, it's quite difficult). Some of the portals seem to specialize in this content - Approximately 1/2 of Lezhin's active series appear to be about homosexual romance, for example. For a Japanese consumer a lot of this content is either in 1-3 focused monthly/bimonthly print series or picked up at comics festivals in-person.

I've seen some attempts to target this audience from Chinese artists as well but with the policy changes made by the Chinese government lately I have no idea if those artists will be able to continue with their work - I've seen a few reports from artists that the government is actively punishing them for releasing that kind of content now (hopefully this is not true).
How do you measure efficiency ? Is it amount of energy spent to generate equivalent energy worth of gasoline ? ( Will one megawatts solar plant generate about 0.25 gallon gasoline per minute ? )

Apples and oranges, though still an important lesson: many optimizations happen at the level of interactions between services. C++ is more micro-optimizable than Go, but it doesn't matter when the low hanging fruit has nothing to do with language (and I would argue this is more often than not).
It most definitely is.
never in our modern history has an up and coming superpower wanted or desired the mantle of top superpower.

the UK was economically beneath the US a full 3 decades before the US actually decided they wanted to be the world leading superpower. almost two years in a world war, and after a massive attack by the japanese empire did the US finally took the reigns.

the reason for this is that the top global superpower needs to have an extensive network of diplomacy and military, things that come with huge costs domestically. when you’re top dog, everyone looks at you for guidance and rules.

Are you talking about desktop applications? Windows 10 like every version of Windows going back to NT is built around a Hardware Abstraction Layer and separates userland from the kernel while providing a platform agnostic API. There isn't anything the Windows kernel can do that the Linux or a BSD kernel can't which is my point. Why spend billions on R&D for something you can get for free? Case in point, MacOS/OSX. Apple figured that out a long time ago and it obviously worked for them.
Boeing had a history of being CEOd by people who started as engineers and worked many years in the industry, then for ten years until 2015, it had a Business major & MBA in charge. The 737 MAX development was mostly under the MBA CEO James McNerney who started a Proctor and Gamble brand manager then as a McKinsey management consultant.

The current CEO is an engineer did come up from inside the company, and was in charge as CEO from June 2015. The first commercial flight according to wikipedia of the MAX 8 was in May 2017.

It makes one wonder.
