Yeah. There are workstations and workstations. Why would the original poster's single Haswell- or Skylake-based Core i7 CPU in his workstation waste more energy than a single Skylake-based Core i7 CPU on a new gaming machine? Also, his storage and GPU seemed quite modest, so I don't think his HP is more wasteful than a new gaming PC.

Of course, 28 cores and eight spinning hard drives is a different story.
My grandfather was a weatherman stationed on an island in the south pacific. He almost never talked about his experiences in the war, but he once told us that he was asked to give a weather report for Hiroshima on the day the bomb was dropped. He didn't understand the significance of why they wanted the weather for Hiroshima until later. Though he did say that he and a buddy went to a hill to look over the airfield after being told that the area was restricted all of the sudden. They saw a bomber, but he said he didn't know if it was actually the Enola Gay or some sort of decoy bomber.
Maybe it’s akin to Galician and Portuguese or Galician and Spanish (Castilian). For the most part about 90% of everyday vocabulary is similar and understandable by each other yet may have some unique differences which are enough to be called separate languages, even if both resort to Classic Latin for high words and roots.

Unfortunately for your argument, most people have basic literacy and understand the meaning of words.
Right. The purpose of an archiver/compressor is to store a bunch of files together, and use as little space as possible to do it. Data integrity / error correction / redundancy all lie in the opposite direction of that goal.
This is a very nice write-up. Would be nice if the forces behind the Chrome change would comment.
I'm a bike owner, but I've done this as an alternative to the $4k (!) treadmill. I have a ~$900 treadmill with a tablet in place of the screen. It's not anywhere near as nice and you miss out on the leaderboard (a great motivator to push yourself), but I find it's a "good enough" option for my non-riding workouts.
I exercise bike pretty much daily (typically 30-60 minutes), so my arms are flimsy but in terms of cardio capacity I'm not in awful shape. My arms are definitely sore today.
This. It has to be said. Thank you.
It's ideal but we shouldn't worry about being ideal because we weren't in the past, hmm? Well, I reject entirely the thesis that because humans "tend toward" tribalism or selfishness or any other flaw we must abandon ourselves to the worst excesses of those impulses.

We can, and should, be better. I think that starts with not giving up on our ideals so timidly.
The major consequence of this for me is that it has caused me to reevaluate my views on representative democracy.

Edit: As a clarification, while I still tend toward a preference for representative democracy, I now acknowledge that it is possible for a fruitful and productive society to flourish in systems that some may label as an "oppressive dictatorship".
I've worked in full-time remote, full-time onsite, and hybrid roles. While there are tradeoffs to each and circumstances generally dictate how successful the setup is, there is one big tradeoff that I don't see discussed as much: Mentoring juniors.

In my experience, it's really, really difficult to train up a junior (doesn't have to be engineering even) in a remote team. Because the feedback loops are more rigid—the passive communication styles of Slack/other remote tools ensure this—it can make teaching a junior, who is going to naturally have 1,000 questions and need high frequency feedback, extremely inefficient and uncomfortable.

I'm not sure Mumbai Hindi would qualify as a pidgin either then since it's definitely the native language of a significant number of people.
You're taking something specific and applying it in the broad.

Directly as you quoted, "videos and channels that advocate for neo-Nazism, white supremacy and other bigoted ideologies", those are three separate things and there are a whole range of ideologies there.

The person I replied to specifically called that last one into question, because of the fact that it is so broad.

We we both able to point out other kinds of views that people consider to be bigotry and you literally just directly equated those examples with Nazis. This is exactly why people can't be given this kind of broad censorship power. You proved it in one comment. Congratulations.
I'm curious to learn more about how well we can ramp up production and distribution of such drugs in the event of a fast-moving pandemic. With Ebola you have 1-2 weeks after symptoms before death is likely. You have a few more weeks after exposure, but you might not know you're exposed and I would assume the treatment needs time and can't save you at the last minute. If everyone around was clamoring for treatment, could you get your hands on it that fast?
> There is nothing wrong with making money off of Rust, and one of the goals of this standardization is to erase doubts that Rust is ready for commercial prime time.

Agreed. After what Oracle has done with Java, I am hesitant when corporations come bearing gifts.

> If you are trying to say that this is a quick cash-grab by Ferrous Systems, you should also consider that their members have been doing a lot of upaid work for a _long_ time for Rust and its community and most of the time without direct monetary benefit.

I am not making any accusations against Ferrous Systems. I have no reason to believe that they are not well-intentioned.

I am just concerned about what might happen to the Rust community when truckloads of money gets involved. Rust has an incredible community and has made rapid progress. I hope that it continues that way.
Australia has recently had an election that was won (quite unexpectedly due to bad polling) by the incumbent political party (actually a semi-permanent coalition but that’s irrelevant in this case).

Before the election, which the opposition was widely expected to win, there talk of “land mines” being set for the expected new government, intended to destabilise them early on.

In the past week:

* asylum seeker boats from Sri Lanka were intercepted. Boat arrivals are a big issue in Australian politics, and the timing would have placed a new government in a bind

* a flotilla of Chinese warships sailed into Sydney Harbour on a friendly visit catching the public and media by surprise. The visit was approved post-election by the Prime Minister, but was said to be in the works for a while. Again, this would have been a very difficult issue for a new government to deal with.

* These raids on journalists. The first raid, before the ABC was raided was actually on a journalist for News Corp Australia, which had been hostile to the opposition during the election. The optics would have looked terrible if they had won the election, and then their foes raided...it would have been portrayed as payback.

If these raids are really “just” post-electoral land mines firing, they’ll stop soon enough, and won’t represent a fundamental shift in Australia’s freedom of the press. If not, then there is real trouble ahead
I can't tell if you're making a dispassionate explanation for why hate exists or if you're actually advocating for white supremacists...

>The thing about an online comment section is that the guy who really likes pedophilia is going to start posting on every thread about sexual minorities “I’m glad those sexual minorities have their rights! Now it’s time to start arguing for pedophile rights!” followed by a ten thousand word manifesto. This person won’t use any racial slurs, won’t be a bot, and can probably reach the same standards of politeness and reasonable-soundingness as anyone else. Any fair moderation policy won’t provide the moderator with any excuse to delete him. But it will be very embarrassing for to New York Times to have anybody who visits their website see pro-pedophilia manifestos a bunch of the time.

“So they should deal with it! That’s the bargain they made when deciding to host the national conversation!”

No, you don’t understand. It’s not just the predictable and natural reputational consequences of having some embarrassing material in a branded space. It’s enemy action.

Every Twitter influencer who wants to profit off of outrage culture is going to be posting 24-7 about how the New York Times endorses pedophilia. Breitbart or some other group that doesn’t like the Times for some reason will publish article after article on New York Times‘ secret pro-pedophile agenda. Allowing any aspect of your brand to come anywhere near something unpopular and taboo is like a giant Christmas present for people who hate you, people who hate everybody and will take whatever targets of opportunity present themselves, and a thousand self-appointed moral crusaders and protectors of the public virtue. It doesn’t matter if taboo material makes up 1% of your comment section; it will inevitably make up 100% of what people hear about your comment section and then of what people think is in your comment section. Finally, it will make up 100% of what people associate with you and your brand. The Chinese Robber Fallacy is a harsh master; all you need is a tiny number of cringeworthy comments, and your political enemies, power-hungry opportunists, and 4channers just in it for the lulz can convince everyone that your entire brand is about being pro-pedophile, catering to the pedophilia demographic, and providing a platform for pedophile supporters. And if you ban the pedophiles, they’ll do the same thing for the next-most-offensive opinion in your comments, and then the next-most-offensive, until you’ve censored everything except “Our benevolent leadership really is doing a great job today, aren’t they?” and the comment section becomes a mockery of its original goal.

[...]

>Fourth, I want anybody else trying to host “the national conversation” to have a clear idea of the risks. If you plan to be anything less than maximally censorious, consider keeping your identity anonymous, and think about potential weak links in your chain (ie hosts, advertisers, payment processors, etc). I’m not saying you necessarily need to go full darknet arms merchant. Just keep in mind that lots of people will try to stop you, and they’ve had a really high success rate so far.

>On the other hand, a privately owned shopping mall is legally a "public square" in a number of states

Even then, it does not mean that those malls should allow anyone to sell wares. What it means it allows people to visit without discrimination on basis of legally protected classes like gender and race. YouTube banning a channel does not ban individual from watching videos, it prevents them from uploading videos which is akin to setting up stores.
Haha, yes. I've considered similar things before too.

Part of the problem then is that working with any standard library functions is a huge pain. You have to manually "cast" back and forth all the time.
If I’m working on a drone in my yard, surrounded by buildings, the noise has a direct line to a few people. If I put that drone at 200 feet, suddenly many more people are directly exposed to that noise. Imagine how loud a UPS truck would be within a 90° cone above your bedroom. Also, consider how many more people would be affected by that noise per delivery.

But to be fair, the frequencies are quite different.
i am not for sure why you are downvoted. i hadn't heard of china devaluing their yuan, but the way you have explained it makes sense. china does indeed seem to be buying a ton of western assets, including real estate and major holdings in companies.

if i am understanding correctly, you are saying china is basically keeping the yuan quiet while they get their economy in the shape they want, benefiting from a strong u.s. dollar. then when the time is right, they'll switch to promoting their own concurrency over the u.s. dollar.
Can concur - I have never heard about Malana before reading that comment.

Unsafe code is a really hot subject in the Rust project already and there's tons of research work around that done by Ralf: https://www.ralfj.de/blog/categories/research.html.

He's also building Rust tooling for finding bugs in this space, see for example miri.

https://play.rust-lang.org/?version=stable&mode=debug&editio...

(click "Tools" -> "Miri")

This will figure out that you do produce an illegal borrow in that unsafe code.

RC Helis 60 Size Gas back in the old days. You had to manually control everything. You had to built it from scratch. [1] The ones they have now are so simple and easy they are no fun at all. I wonder if you feel the same way?

I am still not getting how this is possible given weather conditions and variability.

[1] Electric? Only thing like that I ever saw was at the hobby shop (remember those) and it had a power cord attached and was plugged into an extension cord and being tested out back.
Thats not a paradox.

It's not bigoted to state facts you don't like. Mean, maybe, if I time it right. In fact someone calling you a bigot in this isntance actually makes them a bigot.

I'm using the Peloton iPad app without their bike and loving it so far. All you need is any decent spin bike ($200-$600)[0], a bluetooth cadence [1] and heart rate sensor ($90)[2], plus their cheaper $20/mo app and you get most of the experience at a reasonable cost.

Well, theoretically he did it because he genuinely wanted to spend that time learning, so the time investment shouldn't be factored in.

Same way that if I go to a movie, I don't typically think about it as costing me the price of a ticket and 2 hours of wages (although technically I could, I guess). I calculate time cost for things that I don't want to do.

If anything I would use the time spent in the value calculation (I payed $13 for 2 hours of entertainment).

Plus ça change, plus c'est le même chose.

I think the first time I encountered the idea of leases it was dabbling in some CORBA code, back when enough people knew what that acronym means that Sun Microsystems thought they should include an orb in the dev kit. And then again in their RPC mechanism for Java.

Since then I've encountered the concept from others only a handful of times. Object leases aren't that important if your distributed state is straightforward. Platonic REST with no state doesn't need them, nor really do the fully stateful servers we had for about 20 years. And then there are concensus protocols like Raft which fill in some of the gaps in between.
This is basically a “we should tolerate the intolerant” argument.

Why should a platform host content that specifically states that other users should not have rights?

> If they work 40 hours a week, 50 weeks a year, for the same company they are considered an employee and can't be given a 1099

IANAL but this is not the legal framework for determining whether someone is a 1099 resource. There are plenty of people who work 40 hours a week, 50 weeks a year for the same company and are still legally considered IC's.

See here for clarification: https://www.irs.gov/businesses/small-businesses-self-employe...

Behavioral: Does the company control or have the right to control what the worker does and how the worker does his or her job?

Financial: Are the business aspects of the worker’s job controlled by the payer? (these include things like how worker is paid, whether expenses are reimbursed, who provides tools/supplies, etc.)

Type of Relationship: Are there written contracts or employee type benefits (i.e. pension plan, insurance, vacation pay, etc.)? Will the relationship continue and is the work performed a key aspect of the business?
Is it the best? I don’t know. I don’t agree with how some of it has been done, but I agree something hadn’t been addressed which needed addressing years ago. W/re WTO they are already as is violating it, so how do you suppose “more WTO” will make it work?

The comment is uninteresting and rightly downvoted because (1) it's been discussed to death and has nothing to do with this particular experimental drone model and (2) we already have effective legal apparatuses to deal with liability.
There’s math, you just have to keep reading. It starts out very conceptual. I think Gelman’s book will be a lot more approachable after McElreth.
We’re in a 5-10 year plateau where buying yesterday’s machines dorsn’t cost much performance, at least for CPUs.

Obviously you are paying with power because you’ll buy a 2 or 4 way system to compensate, but if you use it just a few hours per day it’s a steal.
Ok Google, "how do I build a faraday net for catching drones and preventing transmission after catch?"
yep, i said "get what you wrote" and it's true, if you want your iterations to not get out of range you have to do it yourself, if you want to make a dynamic array you have to do it yourself and if something is not working as expected means that you wrote something wrong, that's far from the opaque flexible behaivour on javascript, f.e.

I meant that i think is easier to understand C than other languages cause you see all the flow without weird library stuff, maybe i'm wrong, dunno :(
I'm not sure why they would bother with the effort of this if the wing wasn't generating lift.
I'm confused from that summary why any of the left-pad debacle should be pinned on Kik. Maybe there was something behind the scenes I'm not seeing? From the post mortem NPM gave, this was entirely on Azer for rage quitting NPM (and for NPM for allowing it), fallout be damned. Even if you feel Kik bullied Azer into giving up the "kik" name (even though they made their case to NPM and deferred to them), that would only affect the kik package, not the 270 others Azer delisted.
They censored some things and not others, and were not held liable for those things which they did not censor.
Besides the fact that in states like Kerala, for example, where you have nearly 92 percent literacy, declaring Hindi as official language will result in nearly 0 percent literacy. I think just like Charkha, and village-based self-sufficient economies, the idea of Hindi as a national language should be discarded as an idea whose time has gone.
The main case related to this is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pruneyard_Shopping_Center_v._R... (which other states have a Pruneyard rule? I think it's not very many).
I can penetrate an orange skin with my finger pretty easily.
My sense is that unless content creators get views for calling out the behavior of other content creators, they risk losing likes and advertising revenue. Then they become the political agenda guy, and no longer the comic book movie critic, chef, video game expert, or theremin playing guy they were trying to portray. I'd like extremism resolved through naming and shaming, a living exile ideally, but I don't think drafting popular YouTubers to do so is completely realistic. Black Mirror, here we come?

I was skeptical before I tried one, but now I prefer pull saws for most fine woodworking tasks. Pulling tensions the blade, which allows it to be much thinner. If a push saw was that thin, it would take more skill not to bend it in use.
This is such a great observation.

It makes me wonder if this can be solved technically by published curated language subsets. Racket does this by supporting a bunch of different dialects, specifically to make it easier to teach [0].

One good do something similar for other languages. Step one is probably just writing a doc that says "Here's a standard subset of C++ we call Blah. These are the features it uses and these are the ones it doesn't: ..."

Then you could add tooling so that it will warn you if you use a prohibited feature.

Of course, this just pushes the problem up a level: now a new user has to know which curated sublanguage to use. But that's arguably simpler than doing it on a per-feature basis. At least they can just order a combo instead of having to pick a la carte.

Airlines made a business of that, too: with 'priority boarding' you get into the plane first, when the overhead compartments still have enough space. And some airlines (Ryanair) only allow so small bags in the cabin with a standard ticket that the overhead compartments don't get full nearly as often.
I had the same thoughts upon seeing the list.

Luckily package compilation seems is on the compiler dev roadmap.
