Nah, you need pirates. You need something like what what.cd was, an archive built by enthusiasts driven by quality and the desire to have untampered original copies. (Plus patches & cracks when needed). You need abandonware sites.

GOG and other DRM-free stores are subject to the whims of publishers & developers and random rightsholders. They are not in the business of archiving games. They will host censored versions, patched versions that differ from original releases, you don't get original ISOs and you don't get to choose your patch level, you don't get to reject tweaks that break compatibility with the systems the said games were originally supported on, etcetra. And then games get pulled from stores, for any number of reasons.

If you want an archive, don't leave it to a commercial entity who aren't and couldn't be in the archival business even if they wanted to. GOG doesn't want it, what they want is a curated storefront and it's notoriously hard to get your game on GOG, because they don't want it. You know all this, I know you do.
Not a social security card, as it is explicitly not a valid ID. It even says so on the card.

Putting the question that way stacks the deck a bit. Could an article be both interesting and mistaken on a technical topic? Sure it could.
Any fines should be per-share. Like $10 per share or whatever. That's the only way a fine is going to make any difference.
> But I didn't realize that it was satire until I got to the "/s". Which is scary.

Yeah, I'm only starting to really come to terms with how much technical culture has really twisted many important concepts to suit itself (and only itself), and has so normalized those distortions that your eyes just glide over the contradictions they create.
The whole point of benchmarks is that their "use case" correlates roughly with every use case related to the technology being benchmarked.

Is the correlation 1:1? No. Is it still relevant when making a decision about what technology to use? Absolutely.
It took me years to train my brain to not read outdoor advertisement. I can't stop it from seeing/interpreting images, but I can successfully ignore text/letters which are less than a meter in size.

Yup, the pigeonhole principle really defines a hard limit on compression, in that it is impossible to compress (make smaller) ALL files.

The way compression algorithms get around that, is by abusing the fact that we rarely want to send around arbitrary data, real world data has lots of redundancy in it, so we can make algorithms where real world data gets mapped into compressed files smaller then they are (by finding the redundancies in the data), and purely random data gets mapped into files that are actually slightly longer than the data.
You have to admire the complex complicity. Someone smart enough to understand the depths of the problem had to guide that conversation
What does capitalism has to do with unions? It is actually goes against basic capitalism to have a 2 party system where the employee and the employer negotiates the circumstances of work.
For games that have online components or are updated over time, a Let's Play video can at least be a window into how things worked at the time. Seeing a video of someone playing an online match in a game where the publisher has shut down the server is better than not having this information.
My company, https://www.thawd.net, is working to solve this problem. We help people meet up and have fun.

Creating lasting friendships is a hard problem though. There are only two things that seem to work:

1. A lot of time. On the order of 120 hours spent together to solidify a friendship.

2. Going through a prolonged stressful situation together.

At least 1 of these needs to be present for a long lasting friendship to form.

Combine these two and it is why so many people make great friends in college, lots of time spent together with a small group of people, and the stress level is jacked sky high.

People working at together at startups bond for the same reason.

I am pretty sure of my solution for getting people off the couch, away from Netflix, and talking to each other. What comes next? That is a much harder problem.
Complex enough that someone wants to hire someone else to worry about it, but not so complex that they can't communicate what they want without descending into madness. I don't know how good an indicator of complexity SLOC is, but I've a project with ~ 150,000 SLOC, another at ~ 60,000, another at ~ 16,000, another at ~ 18,000. That's all the code I've added, not the included libraries and so on.

My business grew organically, with introductions from friends, old colleagues and distant family. So there were calls at the beginning. Now my business number goes straight to voicemail, and important clients get to call my mobile. So the answer is that I don't do marketing and sales so to speak, I do quotes, so I suppose that should be included. That accounts for less than a day a month.
TiDB developer here, we're working on columnstore for TiDB, will release in the near future. On the query optimizer side, I think in TiDB 3.0, TiDB's optimizer has given the best execution plan for most of the TPC-H (TPC-H 50G) queries. But we've never tested on TPC-DS yet.
"Like the Netherlands... no more cars with internal combustion engines will be licensed."

I think the whole environment debacle needs a new thinking, less religious and more practical. We don't have unlimited resources to invest in solving those problems, so stop demonising fossil fuels, they are still the force that gives us our energetic freedom. Use the economical advantage and cheap cost to solve the problem step by step rather than declaring unattainable grand targets.
It's confrontational, but it certainly isn't alt- or hard-right. I mean, this is its current lead article: https://www.spiked-online.com/2019/05/14/why-it-was-right-to... - and the article is not kind to Ben Shapiro.
In addition, recall that due to some US areas' mandate of "clean garbage" occupying some proportion of landfills, some of the clean recyclables also get dumped in landfills.
> Why don't we have a CPU architecture where a master core is dedicated to running the kernel and a bunch of other cores run userland programs?

How will your "userland core" switch to other userland programs safely? A pointer-dereference can be a MMap'd file, so its actually I/O. This will cause the userland program to enter kernel-mode to interact with the hardware (yes, on code as simple as blah = (this->next)... the -> is a pointer dereference potentially in a mmap'd space to a file).

So right there, you need to switch to kernel mode to complete the file-read (across pointer-dereference). So what, you have a semaphore and linearize it to the kernel?

So now you only have one-core doing all system level functions? That's grossly inefficient. Etc. etc. I don't think your design could work.
> What does capitalism has to do with unions?

Capitalism is the problem for the working class that motivates unions as a mitigation.
Yes, just because I need to drop down to SQL to use the few esoteric feature in the 1% case doesn't mean I cannot use ORM to make my life easier for 99% of the case.

I just don't see the point of the argument against ORM to have 100% SQL coverage or else. Most ORM's allow dropping down to SQL when needed. It's easy to have the best of both worlds.
Yeah, if you choose to turn off hyperthreading. Pretty expected tbh - hyperthreading helps quite a bit for some things.
Generation gaps. There's more than one way to jump
The flip side is: network effects. What is popular may not be perfect, but for any project that requires more than 1 coder, you can often get a lot more done in a popular language because you can find other coders to work with.

And even for solo programmers, it's easier to find an answer on stackoverflow for a popular language than an unpopular one.
I would suggest OpenMarketCap instead. CoinMarketCap is known to include exchanges that fake their volume and I wouldn't be surprised if their price data is somewhat manipulated too.

I'm just impressed the CEO did something himself. I always feel I should be delegating more, but often DIY is easier than explaining what you want.
The government shouldn’t use law enforcement resources to enforce copyright. That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be able to file a civil suit for infringement. That doesn’t cost the government anything other than the general cost of having courts.

Additional mitigations for speculative execution vulnerabilities in Intel CPUs
Can I ask for money back? Intel should return 30% cost of all vulnerable CPUs then... because disabling HT is effectively reducing the claimed performance specs.
I'm sure the Model 3 having a single multifunction screen that does everything (combining entertainment with critical driving features) will go great.

Have you even been to Germany? Everywhere you look there's a building or a construction. Germany is not Russia to have vast amounts of uninhabited land.

What we need is safer fission reactors, preferably unpressurized and without graphite moderator that burns or molten sodium or potassium that ignite in contact with air. Gas leaks. Some molten salts are probably fine, not too corrosive. Water needs to be pressurized but PHWRs (Candu) and smaller PWRs, both US and Russian and French designs have good track records.
I've always thought it would be more efficient to use a market system with something like a carbon tax and charges for other externalities rather than ad hoc policies for this and that.
I agree, running TPC-C on asynchronous durability mode is not reasonable.
Agreed. According to science, life began about 4 billion years ago, and has been going on without interruption ever since. Personhood is a completely different (but nonetheless very interesting) category.
Hmmm, pretty sure that's accurate. If Creed was in the studio in 95-96, and the album was released in 97, it could have been written in 1994.

I really like Quanta and I'm disappointed that they are spending resources on creating video content (and presumably reducing the written content accordingly). I don't know if it's obviously elitist of me (to wish to deny people the opportunity to educate themselves via video if that's what they like) or absurd of me to think that it could possibly be elitist to try to retain the tradition of education-via-writing-and-reading. Anyway, I like reading quanta, and I don't watch videos unless they are extremely special (3b1b) or I'm in an odd mood.
Yep. This is why I don't take any devices aside from a temporary burner phone with me when I fly. If I need something at my destination, I ship it via a parcel carrier.

To be honest I’m surprised it took them this long.

Sturgeon's Law applies to Brutalist architecture as much as anything else. Most of it is terrible. The buildings that aren't terrible should be kept around. The buildings that are crap should be allowed to go away.

I think the animus towards Brutalism is far more prevalent and justified than animus towards modernism.
Your public clouds at AWS probably use them too... and they won't disable HT ;)

it appears that old mice are 18-24 months old. While mouse models in general are hard to apply to humans, I would guess that applying "old" mouse models to "old" humans is likely to be even harder.

Many people strongly prefer a predictable work week (be it 30 hours or 50 hours) since they have families, hobbies, etc.

If my boss came to me and told me the next few weeks I had to work every day until 8pm instead of 6pm, it would obliterate my life outside work. And I'd start looking for a new job...
The post I was replying to was making a distinction between aerospace grade and industrial grade.

I was looking at the details of the problem, and suggesting that those parts were neither aerospace grade nor industrial grade, but something lower still.

Non-rigorous testing is a reasonable thing for "industrial grade". I am not convinced that being far under half of the rated strength is a reasonable thing for "industrial grade".
> So why does it never seem to get consideration? I guess it’s because of the insane proliferation of Github and Linux

Part of it is not wanted to learn multiple VCS's. Part of it is Github. Part of it is performance.

I honestly believe that if Github supported Mercurial, or if Bitbucket had "won" over Github, then Git:Mercurial would be something like 4:1.
If it's a public blockchain, there's no guarantee that any individual actor isn't just keeping the older data. Same story for a private blockchain.

There might be ways to "remove" data like your parent comment mentioned, but they would probably require making the sharing process a lot more convoluted.
Need to call it something. Marx went with "estrangement". Alienation seems to be more commonly used today.
Good organic SERPs will only distract from ads.
I assume Brutalism was also popular because it was cheap.
Well, this requirement makes sense from a federal perspective, and the ridiculous saga that ensued over getting states to comply (including the seemingly incompetent ones, looking at you California...) points to the "problem" of not having a federal universally accessible ID, including for proof of residence and/or citizenship.

If the federal government wants to have an ID that displays legal residence, then they can either entrust the states to do so or issue one themselves, which seems even less politically viable.
An easy example with git would be to create a pair of read-only repositories: one public-facing which is cloned by the general public, and one with (potentially entirely) different contents which can be selectively pulled depending on the client.

There's a complication with the few appended trailing blocks being invalid data, but the format might allow it, and git doesn't verify its integrity recursively.
> The whole point of benchmarks is that their "use case" correlates roughly with every use case related to the technology being benchmarked.

That's the idea of benchmarks, but it's not actually true of real benchmarks, because invariably some factors which can improve a particular benchmarks beaean inverse relation to performance for some other use cases of the technology.
Confidentiality is a valid layer of security, however security solely by obscurity is wrong.

You can have unintentional exploits/vulnerabilities in free/open source software or hardware too.
If I have a good understanding of how the bitcoin protocol works, and is well versed in cryptography, does anyone have a tip on what to read to understand about the Stellar protocol?

Just some quick Googling on my phone led me down cryptobro low quality content, unsurprisingly.

EDIT: And also, this implementation looks really neat, congrats! It made me excited about crypto currency again!
Indeed. The reason I used the google homepage in the first place was how uncluttered it was. Adding ads and disturbing that quality seems like a phyrric move.
One of the more extreme cases we found:

A woman was detained at Philadelphia International Airport on her return from Punta Cana. After a few hours (~7hrs) of questioning she is pressured to sign a consent form, denied a consultation with an attorney and forcefully shackled and transferred to a hospital for a "monitored bowel movement" (This involves defecating in the presence of a CBP officer; No warrant needed).

She was then involuntarily committed to the hospital for "elevated heart rate" where she was forcefully stripped, underwent a "close visual inspection", administered lorazepam and olanzapine through IV, underwent an X-Ray, CT Scan along with a urine and blood workup - all of which came back negative for drugs or other contraband.

This entire ordeal lasted nearly 24 hours. After which, she was taken back to the airport and released to drive home. During her drive from the airport, she crashes into a highway median. She alleges that the she wasn't advised about the adverse effects of the medications being used to sedate her and that the medication was responsible for the accident.

All of this happened to a U.S. Citizen; without a warrant and without permission to call a lawyer.

This incident is discussed in further detail in the 4th section of the story mentioned earlier [1] "Invasive Searches: A woman's 24-hour ordeal"

It's related. If you want decent performance with pipelining, you're going to want to speculate at least a bit -- assume that FP math doesn't trigger exceptions, assume that you predicted branches correctly, assume that memory accesses don't fault, etc.

Intel does more speculation, but you won't find anything beyond the tiniest embedded CPUs which don't do any.
When I was a 20-something white guy (this was pre-9/11), I could count on getting pulled out of line, questioned, and swabbed down in certain airports. I always wrote it off to the fact that I had very long hair and dressed like I was poor, but carried a high-end briefcase.

That stopped happening when I reached my 40s.

well h2 for development is really hard since basically you need to create a certificate, because no major browser implements h2 over plaintext. i mean a lot of people can live with that and just insert a development certificate into their trust chain, but some people do not understand that and others work in more restricted environments. so basically fully controlling and developing with h2 is basically not as easy as it was with http/1.
Yes, I see the links to the patents. I was expecting links to something other than your own patents. (That's actually part of what gives it the "crackpot" vibe - linking to your own stuff.)

Kurzgesagt is a channel that makes engaging explainer videos about all sorts of topics. It is run by a design consultancy in Germany. Most of the videos on the channel are not on topics chosen by sponsors, but a few are.

In an article at

https://medium.com/@Kurzgesagt/kurzgesagt-sponsorships-on-yo...

Philipp Dettmer, the founder of the channel, explains that he insists on editorial independence when accepting sponsorships to create videos on specific topics (including in this case, with the Gates sponsorship). This seems to suggest that the Gates Foundation did not choose how the video would be titled or promoted on YouTube, just that it entered into an agreement that it would sponsor the creation of an engaging video about vaccine risks and benefits.

I don't know if anyone at the Gates Foundation specifically thought about the question of whether simply mentioning this topic in a certain way would encourage some viewers to think that the risks were worse than they are. Even if so, it's not clear that they would have a veto according to their sponsorship agreement.

(The article also indicates that people can also hire the team behind Kurzgesagt to make videos to a customer's specifications. In this case, those videos don't appear on the Kurzgesagt YouTube channel.)
This seems... lousy? I love the individual flight (and recently, hotel) searches, but the freeform text doesn't do what I want. I entered "SJC,OAK,SFO to PDX" thinking it would take me to flights, but instead it just googled for that string, skipping the travel search altogether.

>you can make a quick lunch in ~2 minutes at home

Do you mean either 1) just heating up some left-over food, or 2) just heating up an instant meal packet of some kind?

Because otherwise I don't know how you can make a lunch in 2 minutes - only other possibility I can think of is sandwich(es) with already ready-made or already-prepared ingredients. Note: emphasis on the word "make", not "buy".
I think such a list would be better for this argument if it were focused on a single city. ie, ranking buildings in just Chicago or New York.

This has nothing to do with public transport. People here in Switzerland often carry ID cards or residence cards, and this seems common in many European countries similar to drivers licenses in the US and Canada. You also don't need to know how to drive to get a valid state ID in most states, as far as I know.
