Faced with this evidence, Marks was beginning to believe that many ‘of the harms of drugs are to do with the laws around them, not the drugs themselves’.

I believe this to be quite self-evident. A heroin addict can be quite a succesful and functioning member in society, provided that she can maintain her habit, without the hassle that comes with bad quality drugs and the stress (and invariably crime), which is required to maintain the addiction.

That all falls away when the drug is made available cheaply, regularely and even paid for by health insurance.
Including a skilled workforce, I would assume (relative to the local average).
Thanks. So because of in-order retirement, the ROB is indeed limited to holding only consecutive µops. And since nothing can be executed until it is put in the ROB, this means that there is a hard limit on the distance in µops between the last unretired µop and what can possibly be executed. Does this also mean that a load is only ever retired after it has been successfully fulfilled? I haven't understood the role of retirement for loads and stores.
Do you? Why can't you let developers admin their own network? At least some of them will know how to do the bulk of the work and a lot of the typical admin needed for Windows machines won't be that important for them (how often do they need to print something and how many of them would be unable to handle printer drivers themselves)?

It doesn't introduce that many positives for lots of admin overhead

For the IT department sure. But I'm 100% convinced a big reason tech firms exist at all (given that every company uses "tech" in some way, right?) is simply that they know how to manage developers and make them productive. And IT policy is a huge part of that. Sure, the developers might be 1% of a typical non-tech business but they are the 1% that can give you a competitive and productivity edge, so their needs are in many ways more important than other types of employee who may not scale well.
I used to do this. Now I don’t because my online reputation is messed up, so as soon as they inevitably Google me they’ll see a terrible first page of search results. Looking for a way to free myself of this, aside from changing my uncommon name and 20 years of career history. I agree it’s all in my head and I shouldn’t let it dominate me, but I have largely given up still. Tangent, but this is the evil of a permanent record; even school kids know to fear it.
Well, that's a problem in the C++ type system, isn't it; because it (effectively) constructs a value of type Badge<Device>, even though it's not a piece of code sitting in the Device class scope.

The rule should be that if the default constructor of T is not accessible in the scope, then any cast to T * or T & requires a diagnostic. Or something like that.

If I can allocate a suitably aligned buffer of sizeof (T) zeros, and then treat that as a T, I've effectively constructed a T.

Who provides dropboxes actual storage? That provider could just keep squeezing dropbox until the provider creates a copy of dropbox or has them bent over just to the point of them switching to another provider. Maybe dropbox should have been building their own data centers in the mean time, cutting their overhead. That idea of restraining growth in favor of long term stability probably wouldn't sit so well with the shareholders who want their pie tomorrow.
Charlottesville was actually the downfall of those white nationalist groups. Ever since then they have lost supporters, been deplatformed, and pushed back into obscurity. Also, the type of militant white nationalism you saw at Charlottesville has definitely not had any real influence on the administration (just like how antifa protesters don't have any influence on the Democratic party).
I'm a LastPass user trying to switch to KeePassXC. I tried it once on my computer but couldn't find a way to create folder inside a folder inside a folder and so on. I like organizing everything so this is the only thing holding me from switching to KeePass. BTW is it possible to do that in KeePass? I haven't explored it a lot.
I feel like this is going to be some huge electron-type update. Anyone know?
> The Southern Poverty Law Center

The SPLC is an extremely unreliable source, who has been successfully sued for arbitrarily defaming people. Their classifications of incidents are deliberately misleading, and classify anti-government acts as "right wing", despite the fact that a huge number of lefty anarchists exist in the U.S.

> Among those incidents, CSIS states, the rise of attacks by white supremacists and anti-government extremists is “of particular concern.”

Why combine these? This would include lefty anarchists, who have a consistent and increasing record of well documented political violence. It completely obscures the point you're supposedly trying to make.

(P.S. wtf did they have to call it CSIS? Very confusing since this is the acronym for our intelligence services here in Canada)
It's not easy I have an MFA I. Art if I didn't know how to code I'd be homeless. Teaching art you get adjunct faculty after a PhD you'll make less money than fast food. Technology has been great at putting the nail in the coffin of the arts. This is intentional as society us shifted to a facistic totalitarian model every profession has to be absolutely geared toward the benefit of a tiny wealthy minority. The society that had a major arts Renaissance in the 1960-70s no longer exists. Art is dangerous to facism that's why the web us designed to strangulate it.

Several of them are in the process of coming through right now. The Arctic ice is going, and the Antarctic ice is getting smaller consistently. Sea levels are in fact rising although we're in the early phases of this.

ocean temperatures are rising and that's leading to widespread climate instability. These were predictions, and they are now coming true. They've been verified via a variety of methodologies.

You're insulated from the worst of the effects for now. That's because you are not at the very bottom of the human economic strata. but the hardships introduced by climate change will continue to climb up the chain of economic prosperity until only people who live like Pharaohs and ignore them.

Most critically, if we act now we can avoid the worst outcomes. Given that it's a rather good time to consider over turning all of our infrastructure in the developed world, Why wouldn't that be enough motivation for you?

there's so many problems that exist because we're all living collectively on infrastructure designed over the last 300 years. Legacy structural decisions have profound effects on our lives, not the least of which is a demand for centralized governance. By using climate changes an excuse to decentralize infrastructure, we can use it as an opportunity to decrease everyone's dependence on centralized control. It's rare that humanity has such a powerful motivating factor for both social and infrastructural change.

The economic knock on effects of this are not to be underestimated either. We can create environment electricity costs 100ths of what it does today. We can make things more reliable, and we can let local communities have more control over what they want to do and how they want to live.

Please think about this. It's a dangerous time, but it's also a time full of opportunity.

Uncertain that they were from Ohio, but it was (and is) American rootstock that’s used to combat the parasite.
Problem is that it doesn't require a diagnostic, and the actual behavior of casting one empty struct foo {} to another empty struct bar {} is likely harmless and portable.
When it comes to gaining real adoption, compatibility with existing technologies is far more important than having a flawless technology stack. Dat already has an uphill battle to get people to use it; jettisoning the largest application development ecosystem currently in existence would make it a non-starter.
Does the U.S. have any "vernacular architecture"?
In terms of life that is made out of 'normal matter' like we are, there are a few different universal solvents that could make this work [0]. Wikipedia's entry there is fairly facinating stuff. The really big take-away is that there is a limited number of universal solvents and we know what the temperature and pressure ranges of those solvents are; there are defined 'Goldilocks Zones'.

Outside of the matter that we are made of, who knows. It's not impossible that dark matter could somehow be set-up to create life, but we've no idea if it's feasible. The same goes for dark energy, only more so as we have basically no clue what dark energy is, even though it makes up the majority of the 'stuff' in the cosmos.

No one is happy with bugs but bugs happen. If you aren’t willing to do a FizzBuzz type problem because it is too “simple” you also probably will think being assigned a simple reported defect is beneath you.
I think you touch on something very relevant. I have been there quite a few times and I like it there but many Chinese see Hong Kong people as spoiled and snobbish. Back when China took over Hong Kong, Hong Kong was something special. Today many mainland Chinese cities are just as wealthy and almost as international as Hong Kong; yet Hong Kong clings on to its special status.

Why are these people not fighting for better rule of law in all of China? Where is the solidarity?
> Most of them (all the ones I know who live in MA) want to move back and really don't like the culture here but that's basically impossible do to once you've built a professional network and started to raise a family.

The people I know fled and don't regret doing so. Dueling anecdotes. Whee!

Like, for real: I grew up there, I graduated from UMaine, and among plenty of other reasons, one that is sufficiently disqualifying by itself is that there are LGBT people in my life and the people who vote for literally-drunk-at-campaign-events Paul LePage can't be trusted to not be at minimum shitty and at maximum violent towards them. To say nothing of everything else.
Exactly my experience. The key is to start the conversation in a way that also allows the other person to exit and save face. If they don't feel trapped it's much lower stakes for everyone involved.
Once companies gather enough data about you, they begin to fluidly cross the line from providing "better services" into "psychological manipulation".

Informative advertising, better UX, and more desirable features are positives and can be implemented with only a modest amount of data gathering. Intrusive manipulative ads, dark patterns, and addictive "stickiness" are negatives enabled by excessive collection of data.
I've been doing the same but I haven't quiet been able to find good replacements for gmail and hangouts. Anyone have any recommendations?

For gmail I'd like real imap and custom domain support. FastMail is the obvious choice, but I can't in good conscious trust an Australian company with my secrets.[0]

Hangouts: I'd like cross platform with a web client if possible. I would like optional chat history sync. And I'd like on by default encryption. Signal is great, but its treatment of chat history is too paranoid to be useful for everyday conversations. Whatsapp is also a strong contender, but I'd also prefer to stay off facebook services.

edit: for a hangouts replacement, I'm not looking for video/audio chats I'm looking for a direct messaging focused service that can serve as an SMS replacement along the lines of iMesseges, whatsapp or signal. And yes I know about XMPP I was a heavy user a decade ago, but I'd prefer not to replace a dying service with a dying protocol.

(I work for Google, not on drive. Opinions are my own).

Have you tried the newer drive client? Backup & Sync[0] replaced the old client and I believe is a bit better than the older client. If you are on GSuite, there is the Drive File Stream[1] that is a lazy-load of resources from a drive folder (which is why it's targeted for businesses only).

>Then what about meerkats as pets, for example?

What about it?

>Who say this to you? It was God, animals themselves or some voice of Universe?

This is what I learned by studying biology and ecology

>There is no one here, only us. We can do what we think is right.

You're suggesting interrupting a natural ecosystem that is beyond complex, likely leading to its complete collapse, due to lack of understanding.

You may "think" you're right, but anthropogenic projection and a complete lack of understanding of how the world works doesn't make your view right, if anything your an example of someone with good intentions that would utterly fuck up the world if you were given control

>If we see suffering that has no any purpose, we can stop it. What is "purpose" is just our choice too.

Suffering is a natural state of existence, we all experience it, it's part of life, many philosophers would argue a necessary part of life.

>For what? Now we are life on the planet. Nature has evolved and we are the result and next step.

We rely on a massively complex ecosystem made up of millions of other living organisms. We are not "the life", we are an example of it on this plane.

Nature is continuing to evolve, we're just one point on a long line of changes.

>Now we have a new ecology: mankind and Earth.

That is absurd and unjustifiable. Earth's ecosystem is made up of billions and billions of living things, humans are just one part of it, and one of the most damaging, destructive, short-sighted living things and we cause significantly more suffering than anything else.

I would suggest starting with biology and ecology courses, and some history both geological and human.
> Apple, a company that hasn't yet had a business model...

Their model is obviously selling items at thick margins through premium pricing.

Or are you implying that no proper business model can do without adtech?

Nohow, at least in newspapers. Though, I see a lot of curious people checking out events on their phones. Most look at it with some bemusement.
@aphyr:

"We have not evaluated filesystem or disk faults with TiDB, and cannot speak to crash recovery. Nor have we tested dynamic membership changes. Both might be fruitful avenues of investigation for future research."

How do you choose what components to test once you get past obvious stuff like the highest claimed isolation level?

Good point. Luckily I make encrypted backups to an external drive with timemachine, but you bring up an important detail when considering options.

You’re talking about free as in libre, but the world runs on costly beer.

Are they free to just inflate their bank accounts to cover the expenses?

You’re also completely forgetting biology as a science, while focusing strictly on peddling the same cable news level rhetoric that’s been debunked by neuroscience over and over: our brains prevent us from upending our reality.

You’re forgetting how easy it is to fail at such endeavors. That is some anxiety inducing stuff, and even people like Bezos didn’t bet THEIR money alone on it: he had 22 rich investors prop him up.

You’re not the sort of person I will ever agree with politically, and that’s fine. That’s great actually; your apathy for engaging the political system means more room for voices like mine that engages my elected officials and others across state lines, weekly.

Please, continue sitting online debating into the void. It keeps you out of our way.
I don’t think that’s actually true. Your original statement. The duty is just to behave how a reasonable or prudent person would behave. I doubt there would be a lawsuit case against Craigslist that would win if Craigslist was a public company.

From their POV whatever is in their data centers will be microscopically optimized and written in carefully handcrafted Rust and then later covered in blog posts.

For clients their unspoken answer is 'upgrade hardware and stop whining' or 'we have strategic direction to deliver uniform client experience across platforms' which would just mean write some JS/Electron crap.

I'm guessing you never used Google Drive's Backup and Sync on Windows. I used it for the first time a month or two ago. Simply clicking the system tray icon brings up a blank dialog that takes seconds to render. Both Drive and the sync tool have been around for quite some time so I expected it to be a polished experience.

I also expected the integration with Google Photos to be excellent since Photos is a major Google service, but in a terrible case of bad timing I just happened to attempt to use it when Google had a Drive -> Photos service outage.
I wonder when they will launch a search engine then. Because that's where most (or at least a big part) of my sensitive data goes.
The thing with the Drake Equation is that it sort of plays with our lack of intuition around extreme probabilities. It includes some terms around the size of the universe and the number of planets that we (now) know are huge. And some others that we suspect aren't all that unlikely (like evolution of "life" in some form or other). But then it includes terms that, given a sample size of one, we really have no idea about--and just because 1 in a trillions odd seems a hugely conservative guess doesn't mean it's reasonable.
Are there specific Apple lies that you're referring to? Or just a generalized distrust of large businesses?
Pruning the file is done the same way as logrotate, or even with logrotate. You don't track state. When the loader starts up, you spool through the whole file and use ON DUPLICATE KEY IGNORE in your INSERT statement.
Big Tech is in a serious monopoly moment: House antitrust subcommittee chairman
You do know whether it's broken, because you have people telling you. Testimony is evidence, and it's used for making almost all business decisions.

Go ahead and collect data to see whether your policies are working. A much better world compared to the usual, where people are asked to show the data and zero resources are provided to gather that data.
Sounds like you need a VM, not admin permissions.
The issue here seems more cultural than technical - it seems non-tech firms are vastly more paranoid about data sharing or leakage, despite usually having less valuable data. The amount of effort put into anti-exfiltration measures in finance is staggering compared to what existed at Google, and it kills productivity to an enormous degree.

This seems to go hand in hand with a much greater obsession over IP. I've seen people actually threaten to start legal fights over whiteboard diagrams of little to no meaning at all. My guess is that outside the tech industry, new ideas are relatively rare so even very simple ideas feel incredibly valuable. This gets generalised to anything employees produce and is why there's no culture of open source development in most traditional industries.

LaTeX or TeX is a good way, especially if you're sending select people the PDFs directly, not putting it into some awful resume farm that tries to process it into some other form (and then someone possibly uses the badly-processed resumes as an excuse to cull, or resumes simply never show up in searches, or processed resumes look bad when someone sees it).

My current one, which I'm determined to keep to one page, starts like the below, in which I often have to tweak things like page margins and vertical gaps (until recently, it was 11pt, and I'd prefer 12pt). I also recently experimented with putting everything in a single chronology, including degrees, and dropping headings, with no separate skills section. I have no idea what's better, so I'm just reconciling the resume with personal style, which says one page, schools are a privilege rather than a bragging point, experience is more important than keyword spamming, and I don't want a keyword-searched job anyway.
