I just upgraded from a 2014 MBPr to a 2019 MBP. I didn't pay for the GPU before, and playing Civ V hurt. Civ VI was impossible. This time, I got the Vega 20, and I am not disappointed. Both games run great.
This sort of addresses a number of disparate issues related to quality control. I don't know how I feel about it, but they probably had to do it to prevent becoming the next YouTube. As long as they don't allow user ratings or user comments they should be fine.

Interesting side-note for anyone seeing a paywall, if you set Safari to only ever use reader mode on techcrunch URLs it appears to bypass that completely.
These temporary files are terrible! I don't know which major Windows version started with the ".thumb" and "desktop.ini" files, but if I tell my OS to navigate and display me contents of a folder, please don't change anything in that folder! You should be assuming "read-only" as often as possible, and only assume anything else when explicitly stated to do so.

But instead, they create thumbnails. In the very same source folder. Shouldn't this stuff go on some cache in your windows directory?
> But with LUKS FDE, even booting is arguably hard unless they could read the key from RAM.

You can also use FDE on Android devices. That won't stop the border police from forcing you to unlock your device or deny entry, though.
In general, I tend to agree there's a lot of people who have kind of picked up "vtables always bad and slow" and overestimate the actual overhead.

But I have actually benchmarked this before, and it is possible to have a function body so small (like, for example, a single slice array index lookup and return of a register-sized value like a machine word) that the function call overhead can dominate even so.

(Languages like Erlang and Go that emphasize concurrency have a constant low-level stream of posts on their forums from people who do an even more extreme version, when they try to "parallelize" the task of adding a list of integers together, and replace a highly-pipelineable int add operation that can actually come out to less than one cycle per add with spawning a new execution context, sending over the integers to add, adding them in the new context, and then synchronizing on sending them back. Then they wonder why Erlang/Go/threading in general sucks so much because this new program is literally hundreds of times slower than the original.)

But it is true this amortizes away fairly quickly, because the overhead isn't that large. Even the larger random number generators like the Mersenne Twister will be a long ways towards dominating the function call overhead. I don't even begin to worry about function call overhead unless I can see I'm trying to do several million per second, because generally, you can't do several million per second on a single core because the function bodies themselves are too large and doing too much stuff, such that even if function call overhead was 0 it would still be impossible in the particular program to do it.
You've lost me at "emotional truth". The camera captures a specific scene. The result is processed to correct for lens distortions / colour / lighting issues. But none of those changes the content.

I don't think an offset camera is distorting anything. It captures the image it's expected to capture.
Literally, every glowing review I have seen comes from a related party, whether it is an investor, employee, or friend of the CEO.
Even if they're not interested in the fields, they're definitely interested in well-paid jobs in air-conditioned offices.
I fail to see how this is creepy (outside of potential uncanny valley issues in edge cases). There is a toggle to disable it, and this is something that most average non-savvy users would either want by default, or wouldn't even notice happening (because the end result will look natural to most).

I don't buy the slippery slope argument here, yet. All they're doing is shifting eyes and nose to compensate for physical offset from the camera. Seems like Animoji would be more creepy, as it's capturing your entire face movement.
I said "impractical", not "impossible".

Yes, it can be done. The question is if it can be done economically.

> ... we can do big oil rigs on the shelf than in fact we can do solar panels like this with a submerged oil rig as the under-structure.

An oil rig has all the equipment concentrated on a platform, tapping into a concentrated source of energy. The structure can be built tough to withstand heavy use and tough environmental conditions.

The floating solar platform needs to be spread out as wide as possible, and over-building the infrastructure will dramatically increase capital costs.

Overall, I'll be a little more interested in the idea when they've done a year-long trial at sea of at least a small-scale demo system.

Oh, wait, they haven't actually built the hardware yet, this is just a concept? Yeah, thought so.
That’s too clever by half. Avoiding substantial financial penalties for not meeting an operational requirement is an operational requirement.

I see what you're trying to do, and I understand the security concerns leading you to do it. I think it's probably a good feature to have on phones like Android. At the same time though, what you're really doing is just sneaking closer and closer to an Apple style mobile-verse.
Why did you go back to pirating, instead of paying for albums? Could it be that you were only willing to give a pittance to begin with?

For the next 18 months, at least, they will have the following policy; to spend the first the first 6 months after posting each new position trying to fill that new position exclusively with a woman.

So yes, in that article it does say “18 months”. It’s right in the part where it says “18” and “months”.
I think there are pro's and con's when it comes to democracy. All I tried to point out that we theoretically have a solution to the problem that people have personal biases which potentially makes them abuse their power. And this solution is simply a majority vote where personal biases average out.
True story: I worked for a mobile app developer that earned a reputation for destroying Android phones.

Logging bugs would trash the flash storage in months or weeks. Other bugs and “features” would drain the battery so aggressively that several phones caught on fire, some injuring customers. We found ways to hide our actual power usage and circumvent protections that would have prevented rapid battery discharge.

In a meeting, it was said, “Stupid Apple won’t let us run background processes.” To which I thought, “Thank God.”

It was Apple’s approval checks and policies that prevented this app maker from potentially physically damaging their customers’ phones with this terrible software. Physical injuries weren’t enough to fix the bugs or stop messing with low level settings. Nope.

There are some “choices” that shouldn’t be put upon consumers. There are some profoundly bad developers out there. Shouldn’t there be protections from app makers that intentionally hide their shady tweaks that disable power protection safety?

Apple’s approval process does indeed root out many of the worst offenders, like my former employer.

I have been looking for such a thing for a long time. Sadly, there is no good solution. If you want a not-horrible one, get a samsung tablet with cellular capabilities and run linux on dex on it.

It should really depends on why the numbers are that way.
One of the marks of a good writer is how they uncomplicate the writing without watering it down. Krugman is really good writer in that regard. His writing skill was probably a big reason why he became regular columnist in NYT.

That kind of writing can still be inaccessible to lower reading comprehension levels. If you are uncertain of his writing skills, I don't know what to say.
That depends on your OS. Ubuntu is, frankly, very bad at it -- though few other distributions are very much better.

I'd recommend NixOS. ZFS is a proper first-class filesystem there, and you can use it almost however you like.

I have experienced this during university.

We were a very technical field of studies and had only a few woman enlisted. Bringing those few successfully through their time was valued quite high.

Requirements to their work were clearly lower than for us and getting an appointment with the professors was easier for them, too. All in all it was less of an overall-hassle for them.

But yeah, one might say this is some kind of survivorship bias or whatever, I don't care. It's what I perceived and it was also a recurring topic in "mens only"-discussions. So other perceived it that way, too.
How can they possibly know whether the artist licensed their samples? Or whether the artist is paying the original artist royalties for the use of their music?
It's both poor software support and poor performance, e.g. Vega 20 has 15TFlops in theory, in practice one could get around 7.5TFlops. And only use models supported by ROCm, custom CUDA kernels used by many models nowadays might not work after cross-compilation to AMD instructions.
But it doesn't capture the image the user expects it to capture - when on a Facetime call, they expect (or at least want, if they think about it at all) to be looking directly at the other parties to the call. All this is doing is correcting for that, hence "emotional truth". Reality is always shaped by our emotions and our mental state, and thus there is merit to the idea that a representation of reality that isn't 100% physically accurate can still be closer to what we perceive as reality.

> This article is a republication, by permission, of a chapter of the author’s book Philosophy Between the Lines: The Lost History of Esoteric Writing (University of Chicago Press, 2014). The piece provides a beginner’s guide to techniques and devices used in esoteric writing. Among the techniques and devices described are the following: dissembling the true message (sometimes by presenting it as from a disputant, beggar, or buffoon, sometimes by arguing against it in ways that enhance awareness of its truth); dissembling the true target (exoterically speaking of Y when the real target is some other thing Z); developing a compelling argument and then taking it back; textual incongruity (for example, departing from a declared plan); conspicuous inconsistency or self-contradiction; the commission of errors that the author’s demonstrated competence and mastery would not allow (for example, altering a quotation in a significant way); dispersal (dispersing argumentation for a tacit viewpoint throughout the text); expressing very striking or intense thoughts in an oblique or ancillary fashion, such as in a meandering digression or in the notes; meaningful silence or conspicuous omission (as when the text creates expectations of coming to something that then remains unaddressed or unstated); alluding subtly to the writings or opinions of a significant figure; and placing thoughts of particular significance in middle of the text or in the exact center of a list or sequence.
That's probably a "soft delete" and hidden. Really doubtful that it's actually deleted.
I have never heard the word "mobbing" in the UK.
I actually had a longer talk with a guy from Fujitsu, who was working in their Quantum computing division. He said one of the bigger problems with out autonomous driving ideas, is actually the routing and the huge inter dependencies it creates-- ideally, routes will be planned by taking other commuters routes into account (ie. self regulating traffic flows). That is, from what I understood, an area where quantum computing can really excel within the currently known limits/possibilities.
This is wonderful. The zone covered by the MOIA service is restricted by the number of vehicles they have available, and I live a couple of Km outside.

For non German speakers, the taxi unions sued to restrict either zone, or number of vehicles back in April and won.

This article is about that being overturned by a higher court and allowing MOIA to extend the fleet from 200 to 1000 vehicles.

There's a paragraph in the article dedicated to "massive criticism from the taxi drivers" where the chairman of the Hamburg Taxi association says:

> ...The aim of the VW subsidiary Moia is to replace as much of today's public transport by private offers...

That implies that he thinks Taxis are a public transport, but of course, they aren't. Taxis have no affiliation with the city to my knowledge, save for some regulation.

Hamburg has an excellent multi-line metro network carrying millions of passengers per day and taxis are prohibitively expensive here. A taxi from my place to the airport, a < 10 minute drive is easily over 30 EUR, with MOIA (if serviced) it would be something like 85% cheaper.
Aws and Google spot instances are easily comparable price wise to hetzner but it really depends on what you are doing, which you haven't said.

For example a g3 spot instance can be as low as 19 cents per hour $138/month.

Google GPU instances I've run for 14 cents an hour.

I think these aren't the lowest prices either.

I certainly try to teach my kids to keep their voice down, but I'm having little success so far.

Yes. I tried this maybe a year or so back, and came to much the same conclusion, and I say this as someone who's been running ZFS systems for over a decade now. When it comes to actually booting from them, the potential for "fit and finish" issues with the distro (and grub...) is very significant.

Proxmox works really well for me, you can basically treat it as a non-desktop Debian distro, with ZFS built-in, and a largish community of people who use it that way.

I directly quoted you as saying “fast and loose”.

And we literally do have evidence of one of those things actually existing in the culture. Which tends to increase the plausibility of it being a cause.

The logical process of inductive reasoning uses specific examples of a behavior or event, to formulate more general hypothesis about wider phenomenon. To see specific examples of workplace culture and theorize that it could be resulting in greater executive turnover is a good example of inductive reasoning.

Making up a bad thing that you have zero evidence of happening and arguing it’s theoretically possible it could have been a cause of high executive turnover, therefore this other hypothesis should be dismissed... is simply not a reasoned argument.

Because we are not the average smartphone user. The market for people that cares about this is tiny.

Sure, it won't look QUITE as nice as running on the $8,500 rig my son now uses for Fortnite and Minecraft, but it still looks GOOD. AND you don't get surprised by Windows 10 random breakages and forced updates. AND you don't have to put up with needing to register accounts to download your mouse, keyboard, and video drivers.

Whatever bad things can be said about gaming on a Mac, I'm DONE with gaming on Windows. No mods? Whatever. No problems.
It captures reality. It doesn't capture the image you see with your eyes, it distorts shapes, it messes with light, etc. But it captures the light coming in. So far we called any post-processing which changes that reality either a filter/effect or a bug. Eyes correction is as much reality as deepfakes.

The first car I drove was a 1964.5 white fast-back mustang that my dad refurb'ed in the late 80's, with me being his "shop gopher". I remember to this day the sound of that engine firing up when I was behind the wheel. Even though it sounded the same as every other time it started, it still felt other-worldly. The gas pedal had that slight resistance to it, so when I pressed harder and the raw power pushed me back into that seat, the exhilaration felt has rarely been matched all these years later.

Is that unreasonable?

I mean, I cannot possibly expect myself to go through my backups and delete a folder from everything, down to the multi-year incremental.

Once you start tampering with a backup, it stops being a backup.
I am stuck doing this for medical reasons, and it is certainly one of the most degrading experiences I have ever had the displeasure of enduring. It's very possible he's stuck doing it for similar reasons. Most machines in America aren't backscatter, but I still can't use them.

It's also a crapshoot - you may have an aggressive officer, or a friendly one. I've been patted down twice for absolutely no reason; not a second screening, the guy just went over me two times.

I keep wondering why we have chosen to sacrifice freedom for some small measure of security. More importantly, I don't really believe airport security stops much - it's security theater.
Interesting; I fully agree overall that PhotoShop interface is counter-intuitive and serves legacy rather than UI design.

But the specific example doesn't work the same way for me: I hit Ctrl-N, and the size of image in my clipboard is the default pre-populated, pre-selected size (verified now in PS 6 and whatever current PS CC is); then I click Ctrl-V. So it's not a "Single click", but it's two keyboard shortcuts, my pinkie never leaves Ctrl button, so it's preferred for me to a mouse click anyway ️

Not sure if I understand the issue completely but if you have problem with the dynamic IP addresses in LAN and don't want to fix the addresses you can use .local domains (this works in Apple and Linux worlds, in Windows you need LLMNR), i.e. connect to yourhostname.local instead of 192.168.x.somerandomnumber.
All their more general points in the post are perfectly valid arguments for focusing on a single database that I've heard from other projects, but naming specific technical issues like that actually makes it seam more nit-picky and less valid.

I'm not sure many people would have found anything to argue with them about if they had simply said "Tagetting multiple DBs requires more resources to develop and test, limits our ability to make the most of what Postgres offers, and increases the cost of support. The proportion of users using MySQL is decreasing, so we have decided to focus on Postgres to give the maximum benefit to the largest group. We understand this may cause issues for some users so here is a comprehensive migration guide/toolset".
If they’re being bullied and you don’t do anything about it, you seem to fail your own criteria for wanting someone on a team. The usefulness of “standing up for yourself” for which you claim bullying is a good test, only seems to have faculty when bullying is present.
Are you sure? The impression I get in NL is that women don't particular like to work too much : they favor 32 over 40 hrs. I even overheard a young woman say she went to 24 hrs ( from 32 hrs ), because 'why not?', they could afford it.

My impression is women are less ambitious and value quality of life much more than men ( I don't blame them, I try to do as little as possible as well ).
IMHO, this comes down to one thing. They lack the talent (and/or the will/resources to recruit it) to operate MySQL.

I can TOTALLY get the reasoning behind supporting only a single engine but the reasoning they write there are either wrong or misguiding.
