Yep he got his own rule. It's still only part of the strategy though. Another foul draw comes from using "normal offensive movement" when shooting, aka jump and move forward, and get a foul called when the defensive player is in your way and doesn't provide room to land.

I know Rockets ball gets a lot of flak and isn't fun to watch all of the time, but as a Houston fan, I admire the amount of time that goes into hacking the metagame.

I've always thought that the base mechanics of basketball are fundamentally broken, and I'm surprised that it's only in the last few years that people have figured out how to exploit it (or maybe it's only now that someone is finally shameless enough to exploit it).

Come on, don't just start spewing a bunch of weasel words. It's fine if you disagree me and I won't downvote you if you do (I never downvote people for that reason) but at least put some effort into it.

> Too many apps were using Electron, and the only way to improve their performance was to intregrate it into the OS.

Well why wouldn't they just build out the Edge backend to be compatible with node.js to natively support the Electron API? Because it a waste of time and R&D money when Chromium does all that already and more with minimal cost. Why reinvent the wheel when you can get a run-flat radial tire for free?
They're incredibly common. I can't get the radio in my car out of certain modes I accidentally get into. It doesn't even have an off button. I essentially have to wait several minutes until it times out.

Many devices I have, once I lose the manual, are simply impossible to use because of the points listed above. My dashcam is simply impossible to use because of this, even though it has a bitmapped display. All it needs is power, menu, up, down, select and with a bitmapped display you can do anything with that. But noooo...

If you take what people say at face value, then sure, the issue is simple. I think that’s an unwise presumption to always make, but YMMV.

But even assuming your explanation is correct, it is incomplete. Why now? This guy has been with the company for a while. He is hardly the only bad actor at the company, so why does his case merit more focus? Have a confluence of factors reached a tipping point? Do employees feel secure enough about their status that they can make this move?
It’s kind of ironic that cars and power plants work hard on getting rid of that energy.
If I'm reading your chart correctly, it looks like the thread pool of size 1 is still "beating" the uring, right? What would explain this?
You are being deliberately obtuse and confusing the map for the territory.

Can you really not conceive of anything that could be done to decrease inequality less than literally swapping houses?

Money is an abstract store of value so that we don't have to trade goats and houses.

I suggest we tax the rich to fund a better social safety net, education, and free medical care for all Americans.
Never mind that none of Southwest's current pilot's would be able to fly while recerting on the A220, or at least would be able to fly less since they'd have to work on building up A220 flight hours.
No, 130 is definitely not normal. Theoretically I can go 200, which itself is pretty terrible, but my fuel pump sensor is shot and I just prefer to play it safe.

Also, checking out the abstract of the paper (https://science.sciencemag.org/content/314/5800/787.long , paywalled, but it must be on scihub if someone has a moment) doesn’t mention extinction of anything. Presumably, predicting the apocalypse would merit a line there, right?

Climate change is real and awful, but hysteric doom-mongering reporting about it does far more harm than good. Compare the D.A.R.E. model of communicating about drugs to people.
Since you've been reading webtoons for a long time, I have a question if you have time.

A lot of the most popular webtoons I've read are based on serialized novels (e.g. 귀환자의 마법은 특별해야 합니다) -- I've been wondering if this is an actual link, or just some kind of selection bias. Do you know?
My experience has been channels are a really good way to make highly concurrent code readable for people who hate concurrency (ymmv).

They aren't as efficient, but using them as a semaphore (i.e. only signaling) can facilitate fairly-efficient, easier-to-read shared memory. But I'm kind of proving the whole...

Regarding Backlog #9, Cmd (or PS) from here has been available with shift+rclick for quite some time.
I do and you probably do too. Of course we can fantasize that these vulns have been planted, maybe even a couple have been. But most of them are probably just uncaught mistakes and subtle semantic errors. I believe in proving software (and other stuff) correct, but that doesn't mean we'll arrive at some point to the one true software. The problem is about defining formally what it is to be correct, having a model that encompasses all things you care about. You can't blame people for writing faulty software and shipping exploitable hardware, that's just what one does. I think it makes sense to blame people for discovering exploits and not disclosing them properly tho. That's what one is expected to do... Some wishful thinking: let's hope the US will see that the only move with positive outcome is to start a global disarmament initiative. We seem to have forgotten the days of fighting for de-weaponizing encryption, this should apply to cyber-security in general.
The arguments against chapter doesn't mention what seems to me to be the killer reason - that people are very bad at enjoying life without a compelled purpose. Doing work gives us the motivation to pursue our hobbies. Being useful keeps people sane. Having a lifetime of free food, shelter, and consumption of entertainment would be torture. That's the sort of lifestyle that leads to drug addiction, suicide, crime.

If there really are going to be a lot of unemployed in the future, that itself is the problem, not their lack of income.
If you assume that a parking space costs about $100 a month

Heh, in the vast majority of the US, $100/mo for a parking spot would be laughable.
Really hope that the "full window manager" item leads to good things. Having proper tiling window management with extensive keyboard control would be so awesome.
I am well aware a public company's earnings report is public https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/Investor/earnings/FY-2019-Q3... (btw -- Tell me where in Facebook's earnings reports we should have looked to learn what they were doing with CA?)

Microsoft Dynamics is their ad tech solution for companies that wish to mine data about their customers. You want to tell me you are that naive to think they aren't dogfooding this internally to at least some extent? Windows 10 basically turns your PC into a spy machine for Microsoft. Now they have LinkedIn, which has well documented gross-levels of data collection on it's users, and GitHub which has a gold mine of data voluntarily given to it daily, and to some extent VSCode, although AFAIK, turning off the telemetry in VSCode really does turn it off (should still use Pi-hole to filter, just in case). You really think they aren't feeding that data into their DP and packing up this data and selling it off to the highest bidder, including governments, just like Facebook got caught doing? If so, I got a bridge I'd like to sell you.
Well, so much for the argument that having a player that can put pressure on Steam will help make things more flexible for developers. Such a shame.
Listened to their daily podcast today on my way to work. It was about China's spying on it citizens. It focused on the number and type of CCTV cameras they are exposed to - specifically license plate readers at intersections.

Not more than a mile later I passed an intersection with license plate readers for every lane in every direction. I seriously doubt there are strict controls on the police who have access to this data. But the article somehow suggested I should be worried about they spying China is doing.
I'm pretty skeptical of all the Microsoft praise lately, but if this is indeed true, it's a big deal. And probably a management feat somewhere (CEO or otherwise).

I worked on dev tools at Google and recall many efforts over the years to try to unify the customer experience -- between internal and external tools, Go and Dart, Android and Chrome devtools, etc. Things always lurched in one direction or another, but never consistently. It was always above someone's pay grade to choose one or the other, so you ended up with both.

Convincing engineers on devtools to abandon their babies is indeed hard!

On the other hand, I think if you dig deep, Microsoft still has all the legacy, but they cover it up with a lot of branding. Hence the top comment in this thread about confusing branding.
You won't win a bicycle race with that strategy. Won't even get close. You'll burn up all your energy being in the lead, not able to take advantage of drafting in a peloton, and you'll be far behind in the end. Cycling is a different sport than running. It's a lot faster, and air resistance scales with velocity squared.

And secondly, if Ron and Steve say they're going to race all-out, and then do so, then they're being honorable. They're not violating their word. Big difference between that and then giving your word you're going to take a different tack, but then betray the other person when it's advantageous to do so.

Lower numbers are better in that chart, so the threadpool size one is only winning on the rightmost part of the plat: just barely at parallelism 16 and slightly more at 32.
I've only read his re-released stories in the "Arrival," compilation, but to me, to describe Chiang as a sci-fi writer is like saying Google is in the computer business.

We inhabit a contemporary world with more technological and social change than the ones which formed the collection of tropes that got authors grouped into sci-fi or cyberpunk in the first place. I don't think devices like time machines and other magic used to create the reflections of characters and situations is sufficient for relegating authors to sci-fi anymore.

Arrival and "Story of your life's" treatment of language and time and experience, and sympathy for the motivations of a super intelligence in "Understand," were succinct descriptions of huge questions. When you compare those to the stupid, 250 page harangues of living national treasures, relegating Chiang to sci-fi puts me into a fit of pique.
Remember, fractional reserve banking started when the Rothschildren decided it was OK to tell their depositors their deposits were in the safe, when the bank had actually given it to other people.

Our banking system is founded on a lie.

I suggest a valid alternative is the truth. If someone gives you their money and it's your job to store it safely you should to that. For 100% of that money. Not 10% of it.
It's clear from the cover letter that this report is written by people biased in favor of waged labor. I think that the economic pressure to work is a terrible thing that limits most people's potential in ways big and small. The sooner we can be rid of it, the better. There are other ways to make meaning, than to be running from poverty.
They will need to do something, because it is not an entertaining product right now. I'm beginning to pine for the physical grindfests of the early 2000s before the Malice-in-the-Palace, let alone 80s or 90s ball.

The Rockets are all in on analytics and routinely use their D-league team to experiment with, frankly, cheesey min-maxing strategies.
The "ideological" battle is largely just a matter of how conflict is packaged and sold to the general population, which doesn't have clear and obvious reasons to support empire building for its own sake. Such perceived conflicts are usually just pretense for the realpolitik, and can come and go as the empire's interests evolve.
Do you have any statistics to back that?

Poverty sounds like the more likely cause of all those things than basic income.
You've misunderstood what this is. It is a full kernel for the Linux subsystem, which provides the ability to run Linux code in Windows. As I understand it, the existing solution maps Linux kernel calls to the Windows kernel. I can imagine it would be much easier to just provide a true Linux kernel rather than try to support a brittle mapping layer.

They are not putting in a Linux kernel for Windows. Huge difference.

The drivers aren't identical though, and that makes a huge difference. Skill matters a lot in racing.
The problem with that is return doesn't evaluate to anything, so there's no (return foo).bar expressions to benefit from that change. Same problem with break, continue, and goto, for that matter.
If they just said ".net framework is being discontinued; .net core will be known as .net", that would help a lot.
As someone who grew up in the post-Clinton “new left” exposure to some of the “old left” helps me understand the right a lot better. They’re afraid of socialism because folks like trade unionists actually espoused socialism. Not like Scandinavian market socialism, but like “quoting Marx on the first page” socialism.
It absolutely is. We use the market to drive the price of goods to zero (this is why milk, bread, and clothing is so cheap). We are simply applying the same thinking to the price of labor as well. Humanity is collectively better off for it. We should absolutely aim to drive wages to zero. Why artificially inflate them?

In the (perhaps distant) future, all goods and services are provided by automation and machinery, and humans wouldn’t work. All wages would essentially be zero by then.
The example ternary would require me to stop and think for a moment, if it was in boring if statements I could explain it to a not-so-technical person in terms they could understand, even if they could not write it themselves.

On the contrary, even a "not-so-technical person" is likely to be able to guess at the meaning of a question mark; and as a bonus, it's not specific to English either.
Not a single question, but I find the best thing to do is just have a discussion on the software architecture, business problems, organization chart, etc.

When interviewing someone senior, they'll ask back a lot of good questions. The good candidate tries to identify what props up the structure, whether it's code or certain people. Especially in a startup, where sometimes even the code owners forget that they have that big batch of unpaid technical debt.

The passive candidate is usually the ones we try to reject, because when something bad happens, they won't flag it, and when you don't ask them to do things, they just idle instead of improving random things.
I'm very excited about this. It's like everything I wanted all in one operating system!
You cannot compare the female targeted comics to something like marvel superheroes. I'd be shocked if it has even 1% of the popularity of male comics.

And of course I'm talking about games that cost 50+ million dollars to develop. I find your comment about different games to smack a bit segregationist. The female market dominate many hardcore games including the most popular game of 2016/2017 Arena of Valor: https://www.npr.org/sections/alltechconsidered/2018/01/02/57... You'll also notice a marked rise in gamers who play more recent games like Overwatch and Fortnite because they pander to men just a little less. Anyway I'm talking about core games and if you target correctly there should be as many girls playing those as in mobile games too.
This argument works only if you consider those of us lucky enough to have interesting jobs, which we had some hand in choosing. Do you honestly believe that the person who cleans the toilets at your work thinks that this labor gives his life meaning?
But you still need to be very close to the top in athletic ability or you'll never get into the top races at all. Good bargaining strategy will only get you so far; you still need to be a great cyclist. No one's winning medals who isn't one of the top cyclists in the world (although they might not be the top cyclist).
As luck would have it, I recently pulled together a list of no code tools into a market landscape: https://www.createwithoutcode.com/posts/no-code-development-...

To directly answer your question, I would recommend Bubble.is as a great place to start in the no code space.

I used to work at Microsoft doing work that touched filesystem stuff a lot, and every single one of those points was known to me already. But at a certain point they ought to be able to say: the OS is not competitive with the state of the art in this area. It shouldn't matter what organizational or component boundaries create this situation, they should do more to fix it. Blaming the layering is a start I guess, but shouldn't be the end.

Wonder what this will mean. Is the ability to run Linux commands and programs going to be there just so people who like Terminal can do their job without VMs? Is this a deeper move towards making apps more universal? That would remind me of when Mac OS migrated to x86 in some fashion.
well they kinda can... if they do any update to include software, that software can be anything... update systemd to include remote execution, or to install any package they want (but why would it be a package??)

But shouldn’t the author have assumed that his competitor was playing mind games?

No. Assuming that is why we can't have nice things. If you give someone your word, it has to mean something.
The article is garbage so I skimmed the paper. Here's what I gleaned (apologizes for any mistakes).

So they created a modified RISC-V architecture and added a tagging infrastructure. 64-bit registers become 66-bits. L1/L2 cache are expanded to hold 2 extra bits per qword, etc. In DRAM, every process gets a chunk of memory where all the tags are stored in one area. So for example, if your virtual address space is 32-bits then you have 2^32/64 * 2 bits of storage or ~16MiB of storage.

That's the storage overhead. Now, their architecture also does a sort of taint tracking. When you compile your C code with their modified llvm compiler, it outputs a 2-bit tag for every pointer. So every qword is tagged with "code pointer" "data pointer" or "data" or "code". When the processor operates on a qword, it propagates the tag. For example "pointer + data = pointer" and "pointer & data = data" for example. At any point in time, that tag storage in DRAM will also store if everything in memory is a code/data pointer or code or data.

Periodically, it will traverse through the tag storage and for every code pointer and data pointer it finds, it will obfuscate it (I think it can relocate stuff too). For code/data it can encrypt it. Of course because all this stuff is transparent to the program, there's no extra work for the developer. (E.g. if you load data from a pointer, it tracks that it's a piece of data and decrypts it transparently with a key that can be changed during the "churn"). It's very similar to GC.

They also detail some optimizations such as accounting for context switches during the "churn" process. And how to not have to keep the process halted while DRAM is being churned. They claim the performance impact isn't too bad but of course we'll have to see how it works with something like Chrome.

tl;dr: Basically from what I gathered, it's an architecture extension to RISC-V (it can be introduced to other archs as well) which tracks basic type information for all memory locations. Periodically, the system will transparently shuffle code and data around safely by using the type information. It's harder to exploit vulnerabilities because addresses and data keep changing around.
I'm really confused by the fact that both IE and Edge exist. It seems so contrary to the move towards convergence (having Xbox on Windows, Linux kernel on Windows, Windows on ARM...). Why the need for two brands?
This is accurate in my experience. Pay at pump takes ~2.5 minutes for the whole process. I note mileage and reset OBC when I do this - included in the time. I typically buy around 50 L.
In the article it's clearly stated that breaking the deal haunted the weaker rider for the rest of his career (and life). There was plenty of reason not to defect, and he regretted it immediately and never stopped regretting it. Giving your word and then violating it, and being called out publicly for it in an area where your word is important, is highly damaging to you. Guy ended up divorced partly because his wife kept throwing it back on him that his entire career was built around breaking a promise.
I do not have the numbers unfortunately, this is just my impression from being in New York. I know that some of my female friends feel forced to read stuff like One Piece (which is great) to fit in with the "community". I don't know how it is in Europe but I would suspect that it's still male dominated with shoujo/shounen ai being maybe 30% of sales if at that? I'm pretty sure here in the US it's like 15%.
People manage without the difficulty you claim. Others are not privileged to even have hobbies because of the financial burden while employed. People should be able to choose what's best for them. Otherwise life is torture.
Where is the evidence that people need a "compelled purpose" ? Many people struggling to survive are not gaining meaning from being threatened by the constant insecurity of poverty, homelessness, poor nutrition and general stress from fear that someone else more desperate will try to take from you something you need. If this stress is removed from people's lives the thought is they'd have a better chance to actually figure out what they want to do and pursue higher goals than simply survival in a hostile environment. But seriously I've known quite affluent people who chose to work jobs because they wanted something to do not because they needed money and I think that people in general would probably be more engaged with whatever activity they actively chose vs. the ones they we're compelled to do. I also think that there is a general idea that certain people have that they are somehow better than other people and while they might be able to choose a higher goal the "poor" would just be lazy and do nothing with their lives. I tend to believe that a lot of the reasons people are "lazy" is because they understand or believe that the game is rigged. Any way you look at it our economic system does tend to highly favor those who were born into situations where they didn't have to worry about money constantly and so I tend to believe removing that worry one way or another should be a basic goal of humanity in general.
