I hit this bug yesterday on my laptop (16GB of RAM / 1GB of swap) with 2 instances of Firefox (about 60 tabs), Slack, Insomnia (Electron-based Postman clone) and a couple of `node` processes watching and transpiling.. stuff. `kswapd0` was running at 100% CPU, I guess trying to free up some RAM by moving things to swap (the swap partition was full by this point).
Luckily I managed to recover the system by switching to another tty and killing kswapd0 and the node instances.

Sometimes instructing the kernel to clear its caches helps: `echo 1 | sudo tee /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches` [1]

Skills you can learn. Obviously if you have them already, it is a big plus. Otherwise, if you show you have some skills, that’s a good sign that you can learn new ones too. That’s why some interviewers ask questions more relevant to your CV than the job requirements.

It’s more important that you have a professional attitude and can contribute to the culture and values. That’s much harder yo learn. And a wrong character with even all the hard skills can ruin everyone.

Does anyone know a way to assign a keyboard shortcut to show and hide a specific app? I love this feature in iTerm2 and would like to have it for my browser and text editor as well.

We have no evidence that supernatural is even a thing.

Sure you can say that our lack of evidence means nothing since we don't have the capability, through natural laws, to acquire that evidence.

But that's just another way of justifying faith as a rational argument.

The only reason we have to believe in the supernatural is mythology. And the only reason we have to believe mythology is faith (and fear).
If you're talking about the basic Application Programming Interface, then I would say anything that implements the API using chaining or the [1] Fluent Interface. Examples include: LINQ, MongoDB and DOM access in HTML and JS.

createOrder()
.addItem('Apple')
.addItem('Orange')
.addItems('Tomatoe', 4)
.setHighPriority()
.sendEmail()

To me it's a beautiful way to compose complex intention from a chaining a bunch of simple commands... like unix pipes... this should be the goal of all API's...

Jean-Marc Jancovici has IMO the best analysis of energy options when it comes to climate change (his whole website is excellent reading), and he does not think that rail transit can directly substitute for car and truck use with today's population distribution in developed countries: https://jancovici.com/en/energy-transition/transportation/co...
According to Andrew Torba of Gab (I cannot speak to the veracity of this myself): "As predicted in our statement to Buzzfeed: 8chan is indeed online. It's on ZeroNet, a decentralized and open source peer-to-peer version of the internet. It literally can not be censored now. By anyone. At all. Not admins. Not governments. No one. This isn't as good as it sounds. It means no illegal content can be permanently removed, including things like child exploitation, human trafficking, etc. Happy now, media elites?" https://gab.com/a/posts/102568802463422885
There's two (well, at least two) issues at work here.

One, unshakable faith in "The Founding Fathers" -- while naive and simplistic -- is appealing. Weak minds love the idea of having a few simple and absolute ideas to cling to, rather than attempting to reason about rights and laws in a more nuanced way. Pointing to something Thomas Jefferson said (typically out of context, of course) is just easier, you know?

Two, there's a willful oversimplification of what the founding fathers actually meant. They enumerated various rights, sure, but never meant for those rights to be interpreted in some sort of intellectual vacuum that disregards all other rights of others. The founding fathers made some incredibly nuanced arguments and proclamations, and it does them an awful disservice to boil their thinking down to DUR HUUUUUURRRR FREEEEE SPEEECH ANYBODY CAN SAYS WHATEVER THEY WANT.
347 lives lost per year, or one per million people. Similar to Prion disease fatalities. Sure, that's 3 times more than lightening strikes... but that's still extremely low AND safer than whatever.

As for the risk of a plane over a populated area, I think it's safe to say that a 4kg drone is a much lesser threat than a Cessna weighing 200 times more, and that's a very small plane. So it's really not fair to compare a drone crash and a plane crash (we're not talking military drones here, I hope you've read the article).

"...I can only see delivery drones being safe with a built-in fixed wing that allows it to glide to the ground power-off below 10 mph": and it seems many people disagree but feel free to prove them wrong and show the world how you can glide a drone to the ground in a dense city to deliver blood at a hospital.
You're just trading one absolutism for another. It's all societies fault! No, it's all on the individual!!

It's not just about the homeless, although they are the most affected. The very idea of it is horrible. We are slowly turning our cities into giant torture champers where it's uncomfortable to sit, uncomfortable to stand, uncomfortable to lie down. Everything is covered in nubs and spikes and built at angles that force you to expend energy. You can't ever relax. It's like this new breed of shopping malls that have no clocks, no rubbish bins, no benches and no water fountains. You either have to be shopping or leaving. Eventually the only comfy place left will be at home.
But Telecoms and the old Robber Barons had monopolies without government forcing people.

I mean there are areas where peoples only choice of ISP is Comcast and equally the Government wasn't forcing people to buy Standard Oil.

Any monopoly is bad because it allows them to ignore consumers as there is no competition.
Couldn't one use u2f as a captcha alternative, obviously without information about the stick itself, only the batch attestation, and then throwing the registration in the bucket? After all it does need an interaction in the meatspace and sure a bot could be engineered to trigger it, but you can't just relay the challenge somewhere and have someone else clear it for you and even if you have a lego construction or whatever to clear your captcha, it's FAR slower than having many people on a solving service help you.

> where middle class people can afford big houses with a pool

And where each person (in the country) consumes twice as much energy as an average French person does [1] and more than 3 times as much water [2]

The "American way of life" is not sustainable.

Mind you, many French can afford a house with a pool as well. The problem is in fact that they do buy houses with pools these days... There were 700k private pools in France in 2000, 1.7 millions in 2012, probably more than 2.5 millions in 2018, making the country the 2nd market after the USA. [3][4]

Although banks are banks no matter where you live. In Australia with have the “Australian Consumer & Competition Commission” (ACCC) which is a government agency and related consumer protection laws that have real teeth.

Although banks are probably regulated under separate legislation it’s usual to be able to call companies to account that engage in “misleading or deceptive practices” for example.

So I suppose I got the idea from living where I do.

This sounds really exciting!

I think it should be fairly straightforward to get this to work with Hasura/Postgres on the server by ensuring a few data-modelling constraints. Authorization should also just work I think. Can't wait to play around with this!

>8chan welcomed everyone, but everyone ignored 8chan.

That's not true, the community actively tries to keep out "normies" by posting pictures of disfigured corpses or other disturbing imagery and sabotaging the posts that challenge their agenda through spam and trolling.

They even have a guide how to do that, the following page is linked from the homepage at 8chan: https://cryptome.org/2012/07/gent-forum-spies.htm
There are _numerous_ similar bugs reported in the last 10+ years, in redhat's bugzilla, ubuntu, suse and others.

Almost all of them get closed because they get old and no-one is willing to do the necessary work to refine the bug report to dependable reproducibility.

And that's not surprising really; it's hard, time-consuming work which may be obsoleted on the next kernel version.

That said, some have written memory stressors and have been able to crash or stall a machine but it's still a bit hit and miss.
2 packages falling from the sky over 3000.... sounds like a higher failure rate than the current vehicle delivery mechanisms.

I wonder what the score is for postal vehicles (similarly for crashes with other vehicles and the like)
The population difference is 16 million (67 million vs 83 million), and the France is about 80% larger than Germany (640679km^2 vs 357386km^2). But at the same time the population of France is much more concentrated into a few areas and the population of Germany is spread out more.

As a Roblox programmer (Builder’s Club) scripting a game, the draw of addressing this huge user base by way of simply coding Lua scripts to release a product that invites In App Purchase is downright tempting!

Then you discover the apparently wide spread client side hacking (speed, teleport, aim bots... you name it) and content theft (models, geometry, Localscripts) and pervasive scam attempts so frequently reported. But that’s the internet, and the cost of doing business, right?

After some success (proof of concept stage) building an unreleased game, I started to notice pitfalls and inconsistencies in the developer docs, including lack of documentation for methods and properties specifically out as recommended or best practice approaches.

Chunks of the docs would suddenly disappear for days or weeks with no notice and no explanation and may or may not reappear after some time. Didn’t see any change logs that I could find.

And then one day this summer I could not access the developer docs site at all, from any of my devices on different ISP connections. After proding around, I realized this was only occurring on Safari (Mac and iOS). Too many redirects (for Tracking)! Apparently Safari had gained additional privacy checking after an update.

Got me thinking, if it’s the case that Apple effectively doesn’t trust the techniques used by Roblox to add tracking to their developer documentation site, is this effort something I want to continue pursuing?

Which segues to the question:

Given the active user base and gross cash flow of Roblox, how do you now frame the new ARKit, RealityKit, Composer, and SwiftUI announcements from WWDC?
A plane autopilot isnt really the same as full self driving though.

You might be right but in the flying car future we'll have millions of flying cars doing the daily commute, all trying to land in the middle of a city. So I guess flying cars will be like normal cars, the easy bit is the middle bit, either flying in well defined lanes, or driving on the motorway. The hard bit is at either end.

I think you shouldn't force yourself on a technology you don't like just cause it's popular, i.e., smartphones with a touchscreen. Do try a phone with a larger screen though. :)
Then you disable overcommit.

For the general case though, because of the way programs have been written, it is easier to have overcommit on.

The extra set of brackets is an attempt to show that the '2' in front of the bracket is shorthand for '2 x'

i.e 2(...) = (2x(...))

but that '2' is part of the whole brackets expression and should be evaluated as such.

As I mentioned before, this is really a trick question, and meant to be deliberately ambiguous.
Can't wait :)
Lockpickinglawyer is an absolute expert in his field though.

There's a difference between using a lock that requires an expert to pick, vs a smart lock that requires an expert to write an app that anyone can use to hack the lock.
This is news because it's so rare.

My sister's best friend being killed at age 17 walking on a residential road wasn't news. It isn't even rare, it's a leading cause of death for teenagers.

The dead motorbike rider I saw lying in the road didn't make the news. This is so common ambulance staff call bikers "organ doners".

The "accident" (gross negligence, IIRC) when about 15 were killed on the motorway, including one of my dad's colleagues, did make the news.

Railway (and even bus) deaths are orders of magnitude less frequent.
Huh? I'm not calling for anything. Simply stating CloudFlare is well within their rights to tell 8chan to fuck off and nobody should be surprised by this.

Looks like it's more profitable than altcoin mining!
More or less. In a competitive system profit margins should trend downward. They won't necessarily reach 0 in the limit, because at some point you'll reach the point where everyone has something better to do with their resources than move into your market and undercut you (and you have no better prospect by undercutting anyone else). A profit margin of 0 is a stable equilibrium, but equilibria can also be reached when everyone's profit margin is sufficiently low that the fixed costs of starting a competitive business are larger than cumulative expected profits over a long time horizon.

Not just invisible but unlike "invisible recaptcha" which was kinda between v2 and v3 which does spawn a challenge on its own, but v3 is entirely non interactive and as you said the site/admin decides the punishment.
Tech is not the problem here. The problem is that we refuse to adapt our society and standards to external constraints.
I used to work on GMOs and I fully believe that they are an important part of the solution to world hunger. But increasingly I feel that the same types of corporations/stockholders/countries that are directly/indirectly responsible for the dire state of the environment and all that will flow from it, are the same ones who will benefit from everyone being forced to use GMOs.
The article you linked was talking about:

> The metal spikes, part of a trend called "hostile architecture," appeared recently outside of an office building in Manchester, England, that's managed by commercial property agent GVA, according to The Guardian.

The original wikipedia article uses the following examples:

> - The Seattle Department of Transportation installed bicycle racks to prevent the homeless from camping.[14]

> - A gas station in New Kensington, Pennsylvania installed blue lighting in their bathrooms that make it hard for drug users to find their veins.[15][16]

> - Anti-homeless spikes on London's Curtain Road to prevent homeless people from sleeping there.[17]

The further examples in the wikipedia article are clearly not otherwise unused overpasses.
Wouldn't say too harsh. You can't really explain kids why their most favorite thing ever is not a good thing for them, I can't see any other other than banning. And it looks like the correct decision if what op says is true (kids are highly addicted and gets aggravated over it. and it has scammers and sexual predators)
I have a different experience - with 3 kids, in a 2M city does't even have a great transport infrastructure (Bucharest). School/kindergarden is within walking distance. Highschool is farther away, indeed (because that's what the elder kid chose - she wanted a school outside the neighbourhood), but she still goes there by public transit. In fact it's probably faster by subway than by car, in the morning. Kids go to english classes, drawing classes, swimming etc. either by walking or public transit.

Maybe it "helps" that the public roads are congested, and I simply wouldn't have time to take them anywhere by car. It definitely helps that I live in a good/central neighbourhood that is well covered by public transit.
> Side note to your main point: the IP issues around GMOs are little different than the IP issues around other types of agritech, so I don't think it's a huge concern.

I'm no expert on the issue, but from what I'm aware this is not true.

At least in the EU it seems there's now largely a consensus that non-GMO plants can't be patented:

https://legacy.euroseeds.eu/european-patent-office-follows-e...

There are still other IP rights that can apply to plants, but patents are a very different beast.
The AC also removes moisture from the air, which makes it feel much cooler as sweating becomes more effective (if moisture is low enough, you can feel comfortable at 35C with no wet spots)

> A huge share of people shop exclusively on Amazon

People should ask why. Is it the prices? No. Is it the discoverability? No. It's because when you have a problem with whatever you bought you get reimbursed. No "call Samsung hotline", no "we'll add this totally not free warranty package in your cart".
Could be but again, from the article: "Whitlock had hoped that he would naturally acquire this type of bacteria simply by stopping washing. He didn’t – and grew quite pongy. So, he harvested bacteria from the soil at a local farm and fed them with ammonia and minerals. When they turned the ammonia into nitrate, he knew he had what he wanted and started narrowing them down to a single strain that seemed happiest on human skin. After he applied the bacteria he had cultured – the stuff the horses were apparently after – he stopped smelling."
I remap every single key on my keyboard into custom modifier. So my caps lock is escape on single press and cmd/opt/shift on hold.

My control key is a. My command key is e. I open apps by pressing w + <key>. ie w+l opens VSCode. Press it again and it switches to previous app (under the hood w+l calls a Keyboard Maestro macro).

It’s quite awesome.

I'd say the benefit would extend to all citizens in the area, since the area would no longer smell like urine. This could increase consumer traffic through the area and raise the economic value of the sucker's property.
Freedom of speech worked really well when the largest
audience you could get was the people in your local tavern

Even then, even before printing presses or the written word itself there were major, major limitations.

- You were never allowed to "say whatever you like" in the name of committing fraud

- You were never allowed to "say whatever you like" in terms of threats; I don't know any society that would tolerate a person standing outside his neighbor's home and screaming death threats

- etc.

I make this somewhat pedantic point because the idea of "free speech with limits" is not some kind of modern idea that represents a watering-down of the lofty ideals upon which modern nations were founded, which is why many people seem to object to it. There were always necessary limits to free speech; the right to free speech has never trumped other peoples' rights not to be threatened, killed, defrauded, etc.

Nah, the raw data shows the same thing. Look at the green line of "long-term trend" on the raw data picture.
This makes sense but is somewhat annoying since a web browser is not the only program running on my computer (but apparently wants to be) and eats up RAM that could be used for the OS file cache.

I wish there was some sort of allocation API specifically for allocating caches so that recently accessed files could kick out a web browser's cache of a not-so-recently accessed tab or vice versa.

Ah, so gasoline is also not a primary energy, but the same as hydrogen produced from natural gas, a secondary energy. I hear someone say "fossil fuels" and think of gasoline, diesel, etc. But in the case of primary vs secondary, a fossil fuel includes what is literally taken out of the ground, oil, coal, or natural gas.
I am interested to see what becomes of this program and rather or not it is as beneficial for everyone as it appears in the article.
