Yes. Hearing voices in a loud environment means turning the gain down on other sounds and amping the gain on the voices, but if your attention system can less efficiently choose or if your top-down inhibitory systems are inefficient, then comprehension will be difficult.

No, that still fits with my experience. In the safety-critical realm anything that casts doubt on your claims of robustness, reliability, or safety such as a TCP/IP stack vulnerability opens you up to a lawsuit.

What will happen is you'll purchase a certificate for the RTOS kernel plus a few critical components. Then you can choose to use any other off-the-shelf components that the vendor or third parties provide. Those parts don't have to be safety-critical, but if a defect is found in uncertified software it's not VxWorks's problem.

VxWorks is very clearly and concisely stating that the safety-critical certified components are not affected. But they're not going to make statements about the systems their safety-critical clients built. That's not their responsibility. And Armis is almost certainly reprinting a statement from VxWorks. Both Armis and VxWorks are leaving it up to each VxWorks customer to determine whether their particular configuration of Safety-Critical VxWorks uses a vulnerable stack as an add-on.

On top of all that, Google's snippets aren't curated and therefore, aren't always correct. They can be (and almost certainly are) gamed. Users that don't click through open themselves up to carrying on being misinformed.
I received a price quote on HPE ECC Server RAM this week from HPE that is $230 per 64GB stick. So make that $500 with shipping and tax for 128GB.

"zero tech debt", when understanding that tech debt is maintenance efforts at a minimum, is unavoidable. If a workplace has a "zero tech debt" rule, that workplace (the management, assuming they're the ones putting the rules in place) is placing that unachievable purity above the frank and open communication about their very real tech debt.

Where I was at, when "zero tech debt" was the policy, we stopped talking about potential tech debt to management. Decisions were made to avoid short-term debt (good), but no discussion was had about any longer term issues (bad), because we couldn't HAVE those decisions when every choice involves some tech debt.

When tech debt issues arose, we didn't want to surface them, because we'd spend more time trying to justify why this wasn't our fault, wasn't predictable, or taking lumps when it was our decision instead of actually addressing the issue.

Management had placed the ideal above the reality, so they saw the ideal. That didn't prevent the reality, and it left the reality unmanaged. We did what we could - we all took pride in our work and tried to make the best decisions - but the company limited what could be done.

>So it is a world 1 percenter complaining about not being in the US 1 percenter, and saying by extension, they do not care about people who have it better.

In my original comment I say:

>I find it extremely difficult to feel any sympathy for these folks because they have it much better than I do, and extremely better than millions of people in the United States and billions of people worldwide.

Much better than I, extremely better than billions worldwide implying I'm well aware I have it much better off than a notable percentage of the global population as 'extreme' is more drastic than 'much'.

The Intel ark site says the TDP for that xeon is at 115W, and that's two of them. When you're running at full power (which could happen) you're looking at the CPUs alone drawing over 200W. Another pointer to high power consumption is the 750W PSU. All in all we're not looking at a particularly efficient machine (even if it's unfair comparing it to 2019 hardware).

> ..won't this screening simply act to essentially diffuse the ion's charge into the surrounding plasma?

I guess that's a reasonable description, but remember you are diffusing ions (well, protons and electrons) of opposite sign, in equal quantities, so diffusion is good; they will eventually mix back together.

> ...does the screening not have the same effect between the plates? I expect they'd be more than a few millimeters apart.

This is a good question. For this thing to work, plasma must be allowed into the capacitor and yes, there will be screening there too. The obvious dumb way I can think of to counter that is to have not just one pair of plates, but a sequence of more closely spaced ones, linear accelerator style.
Spotify is big enough to take Apple head-on and get Apple to negotiate. But most companies aren't big, and cannot challenge the hegemony of Apple. Hope hopen against hope that Spotify doesn't concede, for the sake of the ecosystem. The only language Apple understands is that of anti-trust, and it is high time that it went through the cycle of self correction that Microsoft went through in the late 90s/2000s
For lab set ups "last year's" enterprise hardware can be a good deal. A couple of notes on the article

1) Setting up a RAID array isn't that difficult and it makes for more reliable storage.

2) Using dual supplies actually lowers the fan noise because the supply running at half power generates less heat than one running at full power. You can plug them both into the same outlet strip :-)

3) These things have a "lifetime" which is the point where things are easily found on the web which support them. And then they become "anchors" without all that support. Very carefully and diligently download and archive all of the necessary software, drivers, manuals, and extra cables for the system so that in another 5 years when it breaks you can reconstruct it successfully.
I believe the big problem is cleanup, not production. "They end up clogging city drains and sewers" is the key here -- a mix of plastic bags & dirt is much more effective at blocking drains than just dirt. And this matters a lot in cities with monsoon rains & terrible garbage collection. (Even before you mention downstream effects, like bags in the ocean.)

In city with excellent garbage collection, plastic bags used once and then (say) incinerated in the city heat plant may well be better than paper. Although as you say re-using cardboard boxes is always a great idea too.
Yes. But it gives us the power of making sure everything is encrypted and accessible from anyway, and no one beside you can access your data! As for storage, it is configurable, and you can move it anywhere. But you have 10GB free plan if you join us now.

I don't know about Google but DuckDuckGo pulls conversions from Xe. It is much quicker to duck the conversion than to find it after hitting Xe's homepage.
It's not the same as copying the "feature", in many cases Google straight up takes your content and puts it on their homepage. The difference between a product and a feature is nothing. Every app made is just a bunch of features put together. AWS S3 is a great example, it's just like Dropbox for nerds.

A lyrics website recently put fake lyrics on their site to prove Google was copying, and sure enough the fake lyrics showed up a couple weeks later.

Google isn't just taking content from "evil" companies like Yelp, they're doing it to everybody.

Job search, shopping, song lyrics, news, and who knows what else, is all being somewhat blatantly lifted. And nobody can stop it because blocking Google is a death knell to any site

It is. At least google still provides "verbatim" mode, which is annoying to enable and still doesn't work some of the time, but DDG has no alternative. So if I search for "mispselling" for example, with double-quotes around it, 0% of the results contain my word and DDG doesn't even mention that it altered my search term. I know this is a bad example, but I've encountered it in the past with legitimate searches where I need results for some acronym or product whose name is close to another common word.
I would think a lot of manufacturers are looking to RISC-V for that kind of eventuality. But in the meantime, and looking at that chart, it seems a lot more convenient to just rip off the PIC.

> Voting with your wallet would be not using anything

That's RMS thinking. If you don't mind, I'll expand on it.
Voting with your wallet includes not paying into third party workarounds because their existence depends on the bad actors to exist (in some cases).
The modern internet-connected-cellphone-in-your-pocket was the radical advancement of the 2000s, and it's more of a story of packaging existing technology into a tour-de-force which makes it even more interesting. As it's own "event" though, I don't think I've seen a single product so radically transform a society. Yeah the social media & ride-hailing all seems goofy, but we took a stab at out-innovating the very concept of boredom (and created some new categories for the DSM to boot), that deserves some credit
I guess this isn’t related, but am I the only one who feels like Google search results are going down hill. Maybe 5 years ago I could find a lot of information from small and big sites. Nowadays, it feels like half the Google is just literally ignoring some of my search terms. And the other half they are explicitly ignoring them by crossing out words because they assume I search the same things as everyone else?

I dunno, maybe my queries are getting more complex? But I’m getting a strong feeling that Google is becoming less and less useful as an indexer if the web.

My understanding was around the forced loss of freedom without recompense as the contention here. The GP appears to be OK with this, but the nudge from the forester implies that many people wouldn't want the headache and loss of freedom around that kind of thing.

I don't know the details of the law, but I would expect that most people might choose "harvest a few trees and skip headaches" over "tolerate headaches for an abstract good feeling."
Isn't the most of the Midwest already in normal times quite hot in the summer? I mean, in my European eyes looking at weather stations reports and temperatures maps, 95% of the US land is too hot in the summer, and the Midwest climate is very continental, i.e. cold winters but hot summers too.

But yes, people have been indoctrinated in associating warmth and heat with "good". I trace it back to the post-WW2 era, with the development of paid holidays and tourism in the sun. Before that, the part of population who could afford holidays would either go to spa resorts in the mountains or to the North Atlantic shores; i.e. they would go to places which were cooler than the places they usually lived, not to places that are hotter than those places where they lived which are already hot in in summertime.

From the 60's to the 80's, sun was promoted as an extremely positive value. The more sun you could get, the healthier you would be. You'd have to get more and more tanned.

Previously, people protected themselves from the sun. Hat, scarfs, long sleeves were worn. Shades were looked after, and large trees were planted along the roads and most squares. Houses (also for practical reasons) had smaller windows, unlike the fad of large window bays which make the room behind unbearable as soon as the sun shows up.

There has been lately a little bit of back-pedalling on a few of those aspects, but the main principle ("sun, heat, and light are good for you") has not changed much and remain quite deeply ingrained in most people.

I find it infuriating that in 2019, TV and weather forecast anchors still always present long streaks of hot, dry and cloudless days as a "beautiful weather" for which we should rejoice. It doesn't matter if the main news theme of the previous days has been climate change/warming, or the drought hitting farmers, nope, 24 h later they use the same wording again. I mean, they could finish their sentence with "a beautiful weather for those who fancy this or that activity", that would be fine, but they never do: in their mind it is must be good and welcome for everyone. At the same time, as a fair scale gardener I see half of my crops die from the drought or the heatwave, because it has rained only once in 8 weeks, despite the fact that I am supposed to live in one of the chamber pots[1] of my country... :-(

I think it indicates a huge cultural inertia, even though this culture was only (IMO) recently born, in the second half of the XXth century. Despite the awareness which has been rising in the last 15 years, it hasn't yet translated into the common mental model.

--------

[1]: not sure how well it translates in English: a place where it rains very often.

The fact that you can target .net standard with framework means TODAY you can sequester your framework specific things behind DLL's and put everything else on .net core officially.

I honestly think there's going to be a huge consulting/freelance market for it soon.

I wasn't trying to imply that it's easy, just that everyone should be planning out how to do it so they can do it slowly over the next few years rather than all at once in panic mode.

Props to MS for ensuring the two can live side by side the way they have. It makes the transition a LOT easier if you're smart enough to start it early and let it have a long tail.

I used to be the 1st person mosquitoes went after, fair-skinned as I am. I had a surgery recently and for several months a few of my blood metrics have lower than normal levels (hemocrit, red cell count, platelet count, etc). Now I watch others slapping at mosquitoes which seem no longer attracted to me. My theory is I don't "smell" as good to the little bloodsuckers.
Sadly that actually sounds like it could be a really interesting industry to work in tbh.

Even if that fits under Doug McIlroy's definition of "homoiconic" (which sits in a paywalled 1960 paper), the C preprocessor probably also meets the definition, as do function definitions in Bash. "Homoiconic" is not a word that denotes something special about Lisp that separates it from low-brow hacks. The authors of TRAC were familiar with Ilroy's paper and its neologism, and cheerfully applied it term to their purely text-based system. Either they didn't understand the word, or else it really does cover that kind of thing.
it's natural selection, I guess... are all species worth saving? Also, if we save their DNA, we could possibly recreate them later....
When creating bullshit backlink sites for whatever purposes, usually not for actual reading by users, it is a common tactic to link out to non-commercial sites to show authenticity and mask the true backlink/spam purposes of the site.

This has been theorized as being ond of the original reasons wikipedia received heavy backlinks.

It is not necessarily the fault of an SEO strategy of the linked site.

Disavowing is not a worthwhile practice ( at least in recent years)

Herbal supplement review is not a PBN as it is so heavily filled with affiliate links that the backlinks would have no value to any who purchase such things. So in this case, examine.com is being used as the attempt to seem authentic.

The single term.keywords is problematic and likely unavoidably proof that the backlink profile is very manipulated

I scanned in Moz and although I dont agree with the "why" ( nofollow links are uncommon in traditional small websites and blogs, most don't even know what they are, so your ratio is meaningless to me) the anchor keywords could never be accidental, this is very much intentional.

I don't know what previous designs looked like ..but basic opportunities in on page seo are ignored or automated, top level architecture is weak, the index conventions by letter is wasteful/missed opportunity.

Although not a ranking factor ... accessibility is abysmal

In short, there is so much wrong with the document structure, general architecture and even title conventions.. i dont even think looking into backlink profile is necessary yet.

The article mentions reviews by SEO's but doesn't mention whether they paid anyone to point out the obvious flaws.

Content seems strong to me, I dig into the Rogan and Ferris mentioned supplements regularly, this content is better cited than most I run into and certainly better than bb.com / roid world forums that fill this space. So, it's a shame.

Looks like a ton of poor architecture and document structure decisions to me.
The websites that the results aren't curated either. Clicking through to the site could provide the same incorrect information.
some are floating some are actually platforms with legs that touch the ground.

furthermore, i was wrong to write "drilling" platforms... as those are only used during the field's construction, until the wells are in place.
Working with an Apple Evangelist?
I think my mac application for the college market might be of interest to an Apple Evangelist. How do I bring my product to their attention in the hope that working together might be to our mutual advantage?
I agree here. For the median search I make, having to click on a website is a failure. If I search "John McCain age at death", why would I click on a website? This seems trivial, but it is frustrating for even more technical issues. If I search "Non-standard evaluation in left-hand side of mutate command R", it's a bit weird that I'm expected to click the first StackExchange rather than getting a canonical answer excerpted. Ditto when I search "Analytic standard error of a regularized regression". These are basically true/false questions, and it's a win for Google if they give me the answer.

I do emphathize with the companies being scooped by Google, and so I have concern that they are viable economically and that Google compensates them for getting the info from them.

But in the mean time, it's a success for me when my search gives me the answer immediately instead of two or three rounds of indirection.
It is not - it would be if they had a monopoly, but they clearly don't in this case.
As if Google is not the scummiest service out there. Just because it hides its tracking and doesn't quite use dark patterns but manipulates much the same doesn't mean it isn't any better.
For those who skipped the article, this data is exclusively from users who installed Avast "security" products, which apparently are sufficiently invasive that they get this sort of data and sell it to third parties.

The article thinks this dataset is close enough to representative to present their conclusions as more or less facts. I'm not sure I'd make the same conclusion.
A lot of things we take for granted about the modern liberal/conservative divide originally came from the early days of post-revolutionary France. Even the terms "right" and "left" came from which side of the aisle French politicians sat on. The conservatives were trying to preserve the power of the aristocracy and as much of the pre-revolutionary social and economic order as they could. The liberals had a bunch of different factions, many with very different ideas for what a modern pluralistic secular state based on the notion of fundamental human rights and democracy should look like. Some of those ideas would make sense to us even today, and some of those ideas were utterly batshit crazy (like turning Notre Dame into a temple to actually worship a made-up god of Reason, or executing people who had slightly different ideas about things).

But anyway, that's a long winded way of saying you are correct. The term "conservative" refers to conserving the norms, values, economics, and power structures that already exist, and resisting changes that would challenge them in any way, or at least being naturally skeptical of anyone proposing big sweeping changes, both to protect the old order and out of a fear of unintended consequences going forward. It doesn't refer to conserving nature in any way, even though Teddy Roosevelt was a champion of conservation and Nixon created the EPA.

However, in the US at least, "conservative" now seems to mean whatever the GOP wants it to mean. When things like decades-long commitments to free trade or international security or even domestic security can fall by the wayside seemingly on the whim of a human random number generator, you know Edmund Burke's hands are completely off the wheel and have been for a long time.
> To communicate across mp you use pickle

I suspect this is the root cause of the difference in our experiences. My uses of mp have usually been somewhat more "embarrassingly parallel", for instance having a list of data elements which need to be processed with the same algorithm. For this use case, the usage of mp is pretty simple, often only a `pool.map(f, xs)`.

I can imagine that pickle might have tricky edge cases and/or be slow.
