The recent yellow vest protests in France are interesting for your focus. I believe most of it is driven not by the not-so-high petrol price, but by combination of two facts in France : Real estate is very expensive in cities, more and more disconnected from the average income; jobs are mostly in these places.
In short, the tendency is that most French people can't afford to live where they work, or don't want to live in a smaller flat, hence their commute time.
A question I have about dark matter is how its presence has affected our sub-galactic measurements. If the galaxy is filled with a diffuse cloud of dark matter, then so is our solar system and the space around our planet. Are our instruments sensitive enough to detect its effects on the motion of bodies around the sun? Is the presence of dark matter near us something we have to account for when comparing physical constants derived from first principles or underlying theory to the values we actually measure?
There appears to be cases under high create/destroy scenarios where it returns zero, but failed to allocate memory for a thread during create. This is with tonnes of available memory (hence not a mapping error) and no exceptions thrown.

That said, it's still entirely possible I've made a mistake. Please see here: https://github.com/electric-sheep-uc/black-sheep/blob/master...

The idea is that you do preliminary processing of a camera frame before sending a neural network over the top.
As a European living in Australia (Melbourne, specifically), I'm horrified by the cycling infrastructure. It's such an afterthought most places, and you're usually not separated from fast-moving cars. Sometimes the cycle lane literally cuts across a car lane — super dangerous. I don't miss much about the Netherlands, but I definitely miss the cycling amenities. You're a first-class citizen on the road in a way that's hard to describe to cyclists here (especially the fervent ones).
The SuperH-3, part 1: Introduction
Yes, here is the link to the issue: https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/53533

Still open.
Kids are going to have problems regardless of parenting quality. It's not a parent's job to keep kids away from all hazards, the job is to help them learn and grow by allowing them enough space to encounter problems (without any serious risk of course) and then to guide them into realizing why those things were wrong and helping them correct those problems. It sounds like they're excellent parents and doing the job perfectly.
Always the same shit from these companies also:

“We started Roblox over a decade ago with a vision to bring people from all over the world together through play,”

A vision. To bring people together. Im over the whole 'vision to bring people together and closer thing.'
I thought that Germany(or at least Berlin) has become a IT hub. How could that happen with bad connections?
> Is that not a sign of bad parenting?

That seems a bit harsh. OP shared a story about their family, it doesn't seem fair to accuse them of bad parenting just based on that story. They said they banned the game, to resolve the problem. That's a sign of good parenting perhaps. But without context it's hard to say.

> They would try to connect to offer WiFi networks to get access and would steal our phones to get access.

In general, at one level parents do want their kids to try to hack the rules or fight back against them a bit. Even though rationally we might say they should be completely obedient. If the children actually were completely obedient they might have a hard time in certain situations later in life.
I just wanted to point out that the main thing about Elsagate was how easily you'd get caught in an infested recommendation spiral without actively searching for it. The whole thing was especially disturbing due to the fact that you could watch a popular theme and the recommendation engine would quickly find more and more sinister videos.
> Minecraft as a game has never progressed from where it started. ... Terreria is done so well with fantastically structured gameplay and progression.

I would say minecraft has progressed much more than Terraria. Minecraft started as a building only game. It then added survival elements and redstone which add two entirely new ways to play.

I didn't play Terraria in its early days, but it seems like the content added is in the form of new items, bosses and areas rather than entirely new concepts.
Even as an elementary school kid I walked to school by myself or with class mates. My older brother, being in middle school by then would walk over to the next train station in the next town and take the train to his school by himself. I would do the same later-on.
If your parents brought you to school every day you'd probably have been made fun of by all the other kids.
A Mac is certainly better at handling these kinds of issues but it's by no means totally safe. It tries to compress memory and dynamically allocate more swap, but there's still a limit and you can see that if you accidentally run programs with way higher RAM requirement than you have. I've had multiple occasions where my program used so much RAM that even moving the cursor is an exercise in patience, never mind switching to a terminal window and typing commands to kill the process.
And many members of Trump's cabinet.

I remember something like six ex- Goldman-Sachs partners? Multiple billionaires and corruption incidents at a breath taking frequency...

I really don't like to blame rich people for their wealth. But boy, the people around Trump really make an effort to promote the image of rich people feeling entitled to more than they are legally allowed.
Strictly speaking, aren't they both just series' of tubes? /s
American cities definitely don't look nice as a tourist. SF for example is terrible if you don't Uber everywhere.
Yeah no, drawing this as a online pissing match between two groups in some 'culture war' doesn't hold water when one side is fucking murdering people in a walmart, sorry.
Completely agree - languages like Rust prefer to fail fast and hard.

It's certainly an easy to understand solution and is getting the program into a well-known state, but it's also low effort and user-unfriendly. They could have done better, but they would need real exception support for that.
You're talking about election security. This is about how to keep campaigns safe (teaching them to protect their email and social media accounts).
In Helsinki there are multiple good fishing spots that are accessible with public transport. You can also visit two national parks using regional bus.
India has been conducting elections via electronic voting machines for a while now: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_voting_in_India

In India's case, the paper ballots actually caused a lot of rigging as booth capturing was ramptant. EVMs greatly helped tackle that.

A small sample of the votes are also verified using voter-verified paper audit trail (VVPAT).
> Maybe that average Parisian commute is slower, but more pleasant.

LMAO. Try Ligne 13 or Ligne 1 for your commute. Or any RER.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b22yKsTvynQ Pleasant is not the first word coming to my mind. And you're gonna enjoy the experience a lot more during the winter (lot of homeless people live there because it's 30°C) or summer.
All of those scenarios are where there was a terms of service violation. When Google or Apple decide to ban their competition for no reason other than it being competition, it's anti-competitive.
As an admittedly not very smart person, the sidenotes do create a very claustrophobic effect on me. Maybe it's different when one is reading the main article and glancing at the notes, but when randomly scrolling or pgdn-ing to skim the article, it's overwhelming.
> what matters is that there is no way to do a controlled descent once anything goes wrong on a loaded drone because there is no margin for error.

Not entirely true. The drone had a parachute system to allow a controlled descent in situations like this and an alarm to alert nearby people to its descent. The problem here was that the parachute's single tether was severed shortly after deployment.
Agree! I do use soap occasionally (for "pits and pubes" or if I come back from a few weeks backpacking to get the deep grime out) but apart from that...no need, even after the gym.

I started out without shampoo about 20 years ago after reading a reference, just water and a vigorous scalp rub. My wife thought it was fine though I don't have long hair. And it seems absurd to put detergent in your hair followed by an additional product just to put back the oils removed by the detergent.
Just a suggestion: Do some actual math. It's really not that difficult to not look like a racist asshole if you bother to actually calculate the size of whatever effect you are hypothesizing exists to check whether it could possibly actually be a thing, as opposed to your prejudice leading you to nonsense conclusions.
I used to play some Minecraft on servers, and while most players are great you end up with a few toxic ones. A lot of how this is handled comes down to who's running the server and how they handle administration and policies. No clue how Roblox works and whether it has the same kind of independent server community.

Still I made it a point to make it clear that I was not a kid and there was no way I was getting into non-group chats with anyone. The only people I ever ended up on any kind of chat with (Skype, then Discord) were the relatively tight group that I was playing with, most of whom were college-age or a bit older. We pretty much dominated that server until most of us lost interest and drifted away due to the real world.
I was out of work and almost homeless (mostly extended couch-surfing) when the Affordable Care Act went into effect so I signed up for one of the subsidized low-income plans. They assigned me a primary care provider who was two cities away and told me I would have to see them in order for my care to be fully covered.

Later when I needed to see a doctor I dutifully made an appointment and rode the bus one and a half hours out there only to learn that my assigned provider was a pediatrician and she didn't feel comfortable taking me on as a patient. I contacted the plan provider and they assigned me a new doctor, but when I tried to make an appointment with him it turned out he was no longer practicing medicine. Fortunately one of his colleagues was able to take me and I finally received some care.

Three months later I was informed by his office that they were no longer in-network with my plan because they had had too much difficulty getting them to honor payments. I was assigned another primary care provider but thankfully I got a job not long after that and I never experienced the thrill of discovering whether the last one was a real living doctor or perhaps an inanimate can of Dr. Pepper.
> This thing could potentially used wrong so let's build in all kinds of hedges and failsafes

Lmfao if anything this is a super European mindset. Does this not remind you of another hot button issue? (hint: GUNS)
> No, you don't understand that the "you" that is the sum of your experience and history, and the "you" of a clone are different you's.

In what sense are they different? Consider that the molecules that make up a person's body are completely replaced over the course of n years. One decade ago you were a different chunk of matter, but the same person.

> Your copy is only like you, but not you.

Ok, let's assume you are right. The copy will still be 100% convinced that it is me. How do I know this is not happening to me already, that I am not a "fake" already?

> It doesn't matter if you're emulated, because the same would happen to the emulation, a fork of a emulation won't mean that the emulation would wake up in the body of the fork.

Organisms wake up and feel whatever they feel. An organism with an exact copy of my memories and processes will be 100% convinced that it is "me". This could already be happening to me, how could I tell? I am just repeating trivial arguments from an ongoing philosophical discussion that has been going on for millennia.

You propose to solve this discussion with authoritative proclamations, but I would rather read your arguments.
> Not sure why you're getting down-voted

Maybe because just speaking on the phone in traffic makes a lot less attentive so you're prone to create accidents.
I didn’t particularly love SF, but this is a weird view. We spent 5 days there walking most places with the occasional (unimpressive) PT trip. It was fine. The Tenderloin is certainly sketchy, but the city is very walkable and quite nice to walk around due to the hills and they way they reveal views of the bay.
These aircraft are in fact manufactured by a US company (Matternet).
That's a very US-centric view. Most democratic countries with constitutions less than 230 years old have broad exceptions for certain kinds of impermissible speech. (Germany takes it to an extreme, but even that seems to be compatible with a liberal democratic basic order.)
Maybe the city is lacking a tax base. That tends to happen, since another thing the retired crowd did was vote themselves out of paying property taxes. When they do lose a battle, it can be because the city needs some sales tax and commercial property to keep the schools open. (See Cupertino - they can lock out apartments for a decade but can't stop Apple from doing anything.)
I forget what the tool was, but I recall someone mentioning they mapped CapsLock to ESC when tapped, and to Ctrl when held.
Minecraft:

You can run a Minecraft server on your own hardware (for free) [1], or pay for "Minecraft Realms" which is a cloud based server managed directly by Mojang [2]. There are also 3rd party hosting offerings [3]. It should also be mentioned that the Minecraft client has an "Open to LAN" button so you can play over LAN without even running any Minecraft server.

Roblox:

You can create your own game using Roblox Studio[4] and make it private (for free) or you can pay for a VIP Server [5] which allows you to play participating games on a private server.

Minetest:

There is also an open source Minecraft-like game called Minetest [6], it is possible to run a Minetest server on your own hardware[7].

> The whole point is that the service isn't crap

And my whole point is trying to understand how a service that costs basically the same and has 0 extra contractual obligations for the provider is somehow better than the regular residential internet. I'll say coincidence and you'll say "no but I can't tell you why".

If you don't have a smoking gun for why a service is good then it's happenstance and there are no guarantees that others will have the same experience. It's a good area, the infrastructure is better there, there are very few "business but no guarantees" subscribers so your dedicated line isn't busy all the time, etc. So it may very well be good but with no SLAs you're still at their mercy and they can do to you whatever they do to the "plebes internet".

What happens if on the dedicated line (that you get without paying much) you get told "we'll look into it, kthxbye" and then nothing?

I have great residential internet and actually only had to call my provider for my connection once in my life (thought they cut me off after not paying the bill for 3 months; turned out they didn't care and I just had to reboot the router). Would you take this anecdata as proof that all internet connections are good or as mere coincidence?
I'm not going to watch a video. what sort of person do you think I am?

I do have a reasonable knowledge of modern car safety features, and yes, high end (well, high trim level; these features are optional at additional cost on many cars I would call low end.) cars bought in the last few years have automatic braking systems that function reasonably well at low speeds, and that's a great thing that has probably saved many lives.

Certainly, if I buy a car again I will be sure to pay extra for these features

But these features don't make driving safe. These cars are not even close to being self-driving, and these features don't absolve the driver of vigilance.

Now, this doesn't apply to me ('cause I have a good job and can afford a recent car and can pay extra for the requisite options) but most cars still don't have those features. The vast majority of cars that are on the road today, and even many cars on the new-car lot don't have any sort of automatic-braking system.
I think Windows kernels do not use overcommit, so memory allocation will fail if you run out of memory.
The founding fathers enumerated rights like "free speech" because those were novel (not entirely new, but fairly novel) notions at the time.

What many folks (often, seemingly willingly) fail to understand is that those rights were never intended to be parsed in a naive, simplistic way that supersedes the rights of others.

The most obvious example would be speech that causes others to be killed: you have a right to free speech, but other people also have a right not to be killed.

That's why you can't yell "FIRE!" in a crowded movie theater and cause a stampede that kills people, etc.

There are many other examples of free speech that infringe on others' rights.

Call free speech a "natural" right if you wish, whatever that means to you, but only a fool would think that either the Founding Fathers or basic human decency and sense dictate that free speech is meant to exist in some sort of vacuum independent from any and all other rights.
Part of the solution is to invest in internet infrastructure and encourage work from home when it is possible. People waste less time and for those who have to get somewhere for their job there is less traffic.
If your example is amazon is the only place to buy products and at a super cheap price, it sounds like amazon is great for the consumer for that product.

Even ignoring that, do you have an example of products that don’t exist outside of amazon (other than amazon labeled products).
So you agree that you're not pointing out a competitor. You're just naming another company that does bad things, serving no purpose except distraction.
Really? SF is one of the best, IMO. You can actually take long walks, it actually has a subway (plus busses, trams), it has sidewalks almost everywhere..... sure, less parks than one would like/ a bit too much concrete, lots of homeless people, etc. but hey, it's a big USA city, what did you expect?

Compare it to e.g. the nearby San Jose - SF is so much better that it's not even funny. What US city would you consider more "walkable"/ tourist friendly? MAYBE NY, if we only include Manhattan and nothing else.

v.3 allows you to dial down the threshold if you start blocking too many humans.

Bots usually fail in the 0.0-0.3 range, so you can run it with a threshold around 0.7-0.8 and most people won't even notice it. Shame about the gross privacy invasion but it's probably not much worse that running Analytics?

It will kill your site speed score on Lighthouse for mobile.
As a guy from Poland, I feel like the only obstacle is atrocious weather in winter, which stops 95% people from riding bikes. From March to November it would work just fine though.
Exactly what I thought. Losing <5% of your RAM as swap space probably won't do much difference.

But if it solves problems, why doesn't the kernel automatically assign part of RAM as a virtual swap device, if the user allows it. It can help monitoring tools, and because the kernel knows it is not a real swap device, it can optimize its use.
Actually, I'd say that if malloc (or equivalent) returns NULL then the system really is out of memory. Every general-purpose memory allocator is going to contact the OS to ask for more memory if it doesn't have anything free in its own buffers.

But... it's still no good saying 'make your program behave nicely when malloc fails' - even if your own code is perfect, what are the chances that every library you use does the same thing? And even then, Linux by default will optimistically over-allocate memory (and rightfully so!) - with the result that you'll never catch every out of memory condition.

IMO, 'out of memory' is not a property that each single process should try to manage, rather it should be the OS or some other process with a global oversight that monitors memory usage and takes measures when memory gets tight.
In America we elected a president who made the claim that immigrants coming from Mexico were rapists and murders. He built an entire campaign around fear of Mexican immigration. Meanwhile, there's been a string of mass shootings where white people targeted, shot, and killed people of color.

What does it mean to be color blind in this scenario? That Mexican people ignore that the most powerful person in the country is labeling them as a threat? That we ignore that there has been a string of racially motivated killings in the country?

The "alt-right" didn't suddenly appear at gamer gate, these philosophies have existed for a long time and have been popular in your country and elsewhere.
The post talks about recaptcha v3 but shouldn't it be v2? Because correct me if I'm wrong, but as far as i remember recaptcha v3 does NOTHING with the user as far as i remember and only tells the admin what it thinks about the user and then he can spawn a normal recaptcha v2 if needed.
But it has absolutely everything to do with determination of monopoly status. If a seller can simply stop selling on amazon and sell with Walmart/EBay/whatever instead, amazon clearly has no monopoly. Same on the customer side.
I think it happens only if you have a broken device driver, applications cannot cause BSOD with memory allocation.
Forestation for the win! But apparently there are a lot of people looking into it (http://trees.org, http://edenprojects.org, https://onetreeplanted.org -- which even has awesome mini-crowd-funds for your company/wedding/etc: https://www.classy.org/campaign/tree-ambassadors/c200082).

How do you get large scale adoption though? Laws? Government projects? Millionaires?
