Like I said... I gave up and bought an AMD card. Not everyone is going to do this. It's a step down from my NVIDIA card.

I think there is still hope. Obviously today's reality is still bleak with signed blobs and plenty of question marks, but I think open-gpu-doc is a sign that NVIDIA does actually want to square away this problem, maybe they're just not sure how.

I do believe NVIDIA is mostly responsible for Wayland's poor adoption, and I firmly believe that this also lead to Wayland not getting as much developer attention as it could've gotten. The fact that one company wields this much power is a serious problem. I kind of understand the hostility Linux kernel developers seem to have towards proprietary drivers under Linux now.
I think this example is not fair, because it doesn’t compare the entropy of two states in thermodynamic equilibrium. The emulsion state is clearly not an equilibrium state.

Printing money and lowering intrest rates are the same lever. When they lower interest rates more people sell bonds. The Fed buys those bonds with printed money. When the Fed prints money they then buy something with it. When they buy bonds it lowers interest rates. They sometimes buy shares but that has the same effect.

No ban will stop that. Whatever is possible will also be done, that has always been the case. As usual, there will be an arms race and possibly, for example, meditation teachers will open up completely new fields of activity.

This isn’t mutually exclusive, surely. If anything you’d expect it to be quite closely correlated.
If the population is worried at all, they'll probably want to stop private companies using it anyway. Governments usually gets exemptions from privacy laws, so in a way that's more worrying - government access is less likely to be stopped than private access. Also, people won't have the choice when they're compelled to be scanned on arrest vs logging in to some optional private business.

Best comment here. I have spent some time evaluating Go for making games. Considering the fact that for 95% of games it doesn't really matter if the language has a GC it could have been a very nice option.

Currently CGO just sucks. It adds a lot of overhead. The next problem is target platforms. I don't have access to console SDKs but compiling for these targets with Go should be a major concern.

Go could be a nice language for making games but with the state it is in the only thing is good for is hobby desktop games.
Practicing meditation does include a technical process of continual adjustment. When you realize you are just spacey, engage your attention on the current moment and physical sensations. Apply your concentration to being here and cultivate a bright awareness.

Later you may find yourself too concentrated and forceful, trying too hard to meditate. Then you need to release and simply sit and exist.

Concentration / expansion (spacing out) is the axis of practice.
I am not worried about this. More amused and excited about the future of cognitive exploration and expansion.

I believe in the way, and all that’s happening is natural. I don't think the collective organism of us would really create a hell for itself. Human civil courage and compassion is a golden guard against the truly reprehensible.

Let them try.

That makes absolutely no sense...
In most cases, successful inventors of the past didn't have access to capital either. It often took decades of relentless dedication for their ideas to come to life. Sometimes, they even straight up risked their lives (like doctors trying out new therapies on themselves). You could say that's unfair, but it kind of makes sense - this way, only people with a singular focus and huge drive make it to the other end - and it's precisely the kind of people who are most fit to be leading the progress anyway (i.e. it's better for everyone when people who get to do cancer research are obsessed about curing cancer and not just very smart, normal people).
What's cool is if you learn to work with chi/energy combined with the emotions. Then you realise just how ephemeral they can be and how it's possible to consciously alter your emotions. It's like your emotions are chi in certain parts of your body with a certain vibration - similar to how sound is just the air with a certain vibration. You can learn to change the "note" of your emotions quite easily.

Apparently in Traditional Chinese Medicine they say each organ is associated with a different emotion. Whether you believe it or not, I have recently been surprised by just how pleasurable it feels to massage my internal organs through my abdominal wall. It actually makes me laugh out loud and sends tingles through my body.
I find the story of samizdat fascinating for many reasons. Especially because it was a sign for what passion and interest existed. I find it hard to genuinely measure interest in a way that can’t be manipulated by actors who benefit from perceptions of interest. With samizdat there was so much work involved to make a copy I think that only people truly committed would dedicate time.

I think filtering ideas by labor put into them would be cool to look at the results. Kind of a “money where your mouth is” for people who don’t have money.

Hand copying books is hard. A friend of mine once said “I have a hero’s quest for you. If you hand transcribe a book for me, I will marry you.” At first ve said Le Petit Prince but I stupidly remarked that it was short and we’d be married in no time. Ve changed it to Crime and Punishment. I never transcribed and we’re not married. For the best because I think this is a poor way to choose a spouse.

Hand writing is hard. I did write about five pages.
In a context where you don't allocate memory, you lose a lot of those (for instance, you almost cannot use interfaces, because indirect calls cause parameters to those calls to be judged escaping and unconditionally allocated on the heap).

Go is a good language for web backend and other network services, but it's not a C replacement.
I don't live in Switzerland and I completely agree and it blows my mind as well.

The standard, surprisingly popular, rhetoric I hear against direct democracy in other European countries is really very unconvincing to me: people are too stupid to vote, people can't know enough about specific subjects to vote well, people aren't interested in politics (duh, why would you in a system where you can't influence politics), people can be influenced too easily through propaganda and other nonsense arguments which would all apply to a representative democracy as well.

People don't like change I guess and they (want to) love their country the way it is. On top of that I get a feeling that people somehow look up to politicians subconsciously as somehow being above them or at least being above their neighbors. They seem to equate leadership and sales skills to being able to take hard decisions and being incorruptible / divine. It's like the "king effect" (just made this up): everybody hates the king's decisions, but at the same time the king is the hero and pride of the nation and who could possibly want any other king?
I'm extremely skeptical of the concept of a shared delusion (although shared misinterpretation of an optical illusion of some sort is a possibility), so I think it's more likely that you both did see something. What it was is the question. Thanks for sharing that.

I wonder if anyone else has seen that in the area as well. I'm not sure how one would find out. Besides looking it up on Google Maps, did you check Street View too?

I was thinking it might have been the red reflectors some people around my neighborhood have to mark the edges of their driveway entrance. They're on a scrawny metal pole and about taillight-height, and could be mistaken for a car's rear end from a distance, I guess, if there were a pair of them, and they caught the headlights just right. If an area is rural, no streetlights, I could definitely see someone having those.

Again, thanks for sharing.
Yeah, it does look sketchy.
For me, it's "contentment" - not the high of happiness per se, but more of a feeling of everything just being right.
I live in Switzerland as well and wouldn't agree that direct democracy works much better than representative democracy. You can certainly argue that it does but it's far from obvious IMO. There's less focus on lobbying and more focus on spreading FUD about other parties' proposals, people have no time to investigate consequences of proposals so they rely on what they read in political ads, see on tv, etc. Men were voting that women shouldn't be allowed to vote as recently as 1990(!) in one part of Switzerland.

I can't say it's worse than other systems, but it's also far from obvious to me that it's better.
Yes it is. That’s what the word news means.
I don’t think so, look around any affluent neighbourhood and you will see plenty of well fed people who can’t stop accumulating. Knowing when to say enough is rare.
I guess you use every feature (insert any language here) offers for every program you write with it?

The answer to your question is probably: because they like the language, are productive in it, know the libraries and the feature can be turned off so it's an option.

Freeing memory to the OS causes TLB cache stalls in all other threads in the process.

If the program runs for any length of time, it will probably need the same memory again, so freeing it is a pessimization.

Standard C library free() implementations very, very rarely free memory back to the OS.

> The delays on Amtrak are insane.

The is because Amtrak must share lines with much slower cargo trains.

Amtrak will file for "track windows" where they have exclusive access to the track for higher speed travel - but if they miss the window (for example a passenger had luggage trouble and delayed the train by a few minutes) then they are stuck behind cargo trains.

And once that happens they have no way to recover their original time table. The train will be late all the way to the final destination! And not just a little late, travel time will double.

I'm not aware of any good solution for this.

Everybody is blaming the MBAs here but I think engineers must share the blame equally. As an engineer, your job is not to do whatever your manager demands. If you are asked to do something that is not right, call it out, don't do it, try to convince people for the correct solution. Worst case scenario: quit the company. The engineers who designed and implemented the MCAS, whether at HCL or at Boeing, have blood on their hands, just like their managers all the way up to the CEO.
> Are government mandated requirements to produce an ID when purchasing a firearm an effort to prevent black ownership of legal firearms?

University education in Australia is a major migration pathway. By studying at a University there, you are basically guaranteed permanent residency at the end.

That's why the USA and UK should oppose efforts to allow students to stay in the country after they graduate. International student graduates should have to go through the same migration process as anyone else.

Additionally, Governments should place a cap on the number of student visas they issue each year, require universities charge a minimum amount, and require the full three years be paid upfront. Universities will be more willing to fail poor students under these conditions; it will also prevent/reverse a race to the bottom.

"Just relax". For me, this was the single most useless piece of meditative advice I ever heard, and everyone parrots it. I thought I was relaxed. But then periodically over time I'd discover "oh, my neck has just relaxed", "oh, my breathing diaphragm has relaxed", etc. Then I'd fight to recreate the relaxation in another session and had literally no idea how to relax before meditating to counter the stresses of daily life. I tried body scans, alternately tensing and relaxing muscle groups - nothing worked for me.

Having recently been able to become truly, deeply relaxed by actually learning how to breathe correctly (right into the pelvic floor) it's miles away from just not feeling obviously tense in my daily life. My breathing rate drops to a crawl (I inhale, hold without strain for around 2 minutes then exhale and naturally hold air outside for a minute or two). The whole body tingles with relaxation. The effects are truly noticable.

> But do the benefits apply to people who are naturally calm and not tense?

As a Type B personality myself, I would say "definitely".
Meanwhile things like the 8 hour working day was a result of decades of union efforts - much of which was met with open violence.

Unions can go too far in supporting people who should not be protected,but a large part of the reason they do is that they came into existence at a time when employers literally were prepared to see workers die to protect their ability to mistreat people.

Unions tends to take softer stances e.g. in parts of Europe where their level of involvement in decision-making means the hard-line stances are no longer seen as necessary.

No, not nearly every eligible voters has one, and the distribution is significantly skewed by race and a number of other demographic factors.

And more than one of the politicians pushing voter ID has been recorded in what seemed to be politically safe venues pointing to those biases as motivating factors.

It was his livelihood: get some dirt, threaten to release it, demand hefty cash payments as danegeld.

It's easy to pass off the last leg of the extorsion campaign as doing public good if you conveniently leave out the long trail of demands for hefty financial gains.

And before this fact is brushed under the carpet, do keep in mind that the same suspect also demanded financial payments from media companies to access the content he was supposedly trying to release to the public.

Hey,

I'm the CodeTips founder/owner, and I'm grateful for your feedback.

I'd like to get this to a position that your niece and nephew are able to use it, so if you're willing to continue the discussion that would be great.

Just to address your concerns....

- Where I have referenced previous articles, they are linked. For example the `if` reference is a link, that will take you to the article explaining that concept. I just checked the articles you mentioned, and the links are there and working.

- you're absolutely right that the articles are from latest - oldest. It wasn't necessarily built to be a "course", but I can see why the structure could be confusing. The balance is not having to make returning users scroll to the bottom to find new content, perhaps I could add a button that allows the user to sort the articles as they want to see them?

As a millennial, I'd argue that this, like many "millennials are destroying X" things are more signs of questionable economic developments and acute problems in society - and nothing millennials specifically "want".

Also, a person who is completely dependent on online services for any kind of decision or activity in life is probably the wet dream of many business leaders and politicians - so I think there are a lot of forces right now moving people in that direction.

Whatever the reason though, I think post-milennials are already getting fed up with it right now (or at least certain groups of them): Studies show that "Gen-Z-ers" are, taken as a group, more miserable than generations before them, with smartphones appearing to be a deciding factor. They also seem to become more politically active as well.

So I think we're currently on the trajectory to a Black Mirror/Brave New World kind of future, but it's not clear at all if we'll arrive there. We're living in interesting times.
Thanks :) I'll get that changed on the site.
I must say I struggled with this. It seemed like it should have been a good book, but I got lost in its various stages and its volume. I've posted my favourite meditation book elsewhere. It just cuts straight through to the core, but perhaps it just seems that way given my own experience. YMMV.

Keep in mind that European trains are typically more expensive than flights even on richly priced air routes. Far, far more expensive if you include low cost air connections.

And then the profitability of short distance routes is a direct product of the density of population.

This would look differently if airlines were charged for the CO2 externalities (i.e. not receive a de facto subsidy). But we all know how's the carbon pricing going in America ...
