I've been a few times in different locations around the world. They were blander than WeWork and had about the same level of community. It was just an office. WeWork branded itself as something special... it isn't. It's a slightly nicer looking office (with beer* maybe). Regus is profitable and has a valuation in line with what they do. WeWork... doesn't.
Does the script run on the the device or externally?

Is there shell access on the device? If so, what packages / distribution does it run / use?
My understanding is that you are absolutely correct. That's why you shouldn't use locks on the real-time audio thread.
MySql is the PHP of databases. Easy to get in to, but soon becomes a mire of pitfalls, exceptions, ambiguities etc.

PHP introduced me to the mindblow of having to use a lookup table to work out what the equality operators do under any particular combo of types and values. It was quite a rude shock even coming from C++.

Any properly designed language requires almost zero mental burden for equality. (Granted a longtime PHP guy will have it all memorised in time.)

MySql is in the same bracket. I was accustomed to commercial databases but my short stint with PHP also involved MySql, pre-MariaDB. Unless I'm on the point of starvation I'll not waste my efforts like that again.

Postgres, meanwhile, is a properly designed RDBMS and you can just get on with the job at hand.

Rather than having to constantly read the docs and go down the rabbit hole of MySql issues apparent from the endless comments about unexpected quirks and side-effects that used to be at the bottom of each doc page (which is likely the only reason that MySql was even usable and survived). Is it even yet ACID compliant?

I expect MySql will not be as bad for data analysis as it was for general development, but the reason it exists, in the face of Postgres, is because there are just so many devs and websites based on it. Similarly with PHP.
I think this is a symptom of a few things: dehomogenisation of interests and urban sprawl, exacerbated by income requirements and children. From my understanding: In the country, you integrate, or you're isolated. It's pretty much always sports, and it's the lowest common denominator.

In the past 100 years, as people have moved to the city, and as knowledge has diversified, there's this implicit promise that the city will allow you to find others with your interests. In the earlier years, say at University, this holds true. Young people who don't have many other commitments and are supposed to be there anyway, are able to find their own "tribe". At this time, travel time isn't an issue. As people start having to go to work, and travel time is now utilised for breadwinning, there's not as much time and energy slack left over for maintaining in person relationships. Then having children exacerbates this.

So, now you don't talk to your neighbours because people do not group their housing arrangements around their interests, but around market pressures.

So with sprawl, now everyone has to commute to see their friends. People also have to commute to go about their daily business such as grocery shopping. This means that you can't just "swing by" someone else's house, because they might not be there and you've wasted your time. So we ring ahead. This information sharing to be time efficient became an anxiety of "am I bothering X", which now means those calls don't happen as often either. Now everything has to be scheduled, and anyone who can't fit it in is screwed.

There's also one more keyword which I think isn't mentioned here enough. Career. I have felt guilty at times for doing my utmost to maintain my one free night a week to meet our friends meetup schedule. We shouldn't feel this. The pressure for careers and work cuts too often cuts out the final bit of capacity we have left to maintain even some relationships.

So in summary, people who have common interests are spread out by market forces, increasing commute times, forcing scheduling of time together, and that possibility is then snuffed out by the pressures of needing and income or looking after children.

Rehomogenisation of interests is unlikely to happen, and probably shouldn't. Children aren't going away. So that means the two points to address are: Urban sprawl and career pressures. There needs to be more government oversight that is not completely undermined by corporate interests (I'm sure most large corporations would be more than happy if your work mates were the only human contact you had). That government oversight needs to strengthen the regulations around building of decent apartment complexes, not cash cows, because we want people to live in them, not rush out to the edges of suburbia because they can only afford either a garbage apartment or to move out to the suburban edge. Career pressures are best addressed by increasing people's job mobility. People who are anxious about losing their job do not have mobility. If someones workplace is unreasonable about their time, they're going to frequently be unable to schedule things with friends.
I used an HP-28s to get through school. Like all of them, the battery door broke and now it's basically junk.

My desktop calculator these days is an HP-35S which is to find and inexpensive. I've been thinking about a Swiss Micro clone of the HP-15C but it's hard for me to justify the purchase.
That people care far more about money than about where it comes from. That's usually a pretty safe bet.

I'd like to hope that recent events will change things, but I tend to suspect this is more like one of those finance rulings where someone gets fined $1 for every $1000 they earned in an evil way, and that the underlying risk/reward profile hasn't fundamentally shifted. Still, every push in the right direction helps!
If the gui thread is holding the lock that the audio thread needs then even a few ms before the gui thread gets a slice (and hands back the gui lock) can cause the audio to starve and click.

I've seen kernels that only time-slice to a lower priority thread if all the high priority threads are sat in a lock. Not ideal but simplifies the kernel code.

I've also seen kernels that only context switch when a thread becomes locked or when a (relatively) low resolution timer ticks.

(I'm talking non-specifically about the kernels running on video game consoles).

You are misinformed. The tools for measuring brain changes are getting better and more precise. We now have tools to measure brain activity, gray matter thickness, stress levels, and these reports are as good as measuring NO2 from engine exhaust. There's so much literature around this, it just knocks your karma if you spout ignorance just because you choose not to look.

While I think that’s mostly fair, you can control for much of that.

Have a “trustworthy” score based on number of replication studies from the lab. Have a percentage of each donation go to replication.

Shocking, but the source is somewhat dubious and Mitchel Resnick has strongly denied that Scratch or ScratchJr took money from Epstein.

https://medium.com/@mres/a-statement-about-research-funding-...

edit: the ultimate source seems to be a press release from the Epstein Foundation, who around 2014 was surely in a PR blitz, published by Jewish Business News but since taken down. And both sources get Mitchel Resnick's name wrong, in different ways! http://archive.is/9UKAi
Seems like that would be difficult to remember - every postman I've known in the UK just learns the route. It would also be harder for people posting a letter to remember - it's easier to remember 6-7 characters than 12 digits, and less prone to errors. Get one character wrong in a postcode and it'll _probably_ still go to the right region, or be an obvious error and handled accordingly, and if you're written the full address you have the area/city to check. Mistaking 40.6971, -74.2598 for 41.6971, -74.2598 puts you 100km away, and 50.6971, -74.2598 1000km away, and there's no obvious way of telling that's wrong.

We can do something similar to your system in the UK now - "10 SW1A 2AA" is a unique address, but we don't as it's less robust. "10 Downing Street, London, SW1A 2AA" makes the intention clearer, both if there is an error when writing ("10 Downng Street, Lendon, W1A 2AA" - we can make a fair assumption, particularly if the name indicates it's the same as other mail going there) or if it is damaged in transit ("10 Downing [Unreadable], London, SW-- 2A-").

Some low lying areas should probably be abandoned. My point is just that it happens very slowly, and can be planned for.

I also suspect some of that increase is because of bigger populations living near the coast.

> Sea level rise at specific locations may be more or less than the global average

This is true regardless of climate change. Some land rises, other sink.
People who support pro inflation monetary policy think they know more than those of us who still value the Austrian school of economics. They treat Keynes as settled fact.
This is... not the clever revelation that she thinks it is. She worked with "room sized versions of thse back in 2001"? Well yes of course. I looked through all the documentation, etc back when this story broke and the whole original purpose of the Personal Food Computer project was to take those big room-sized setups and shrink them down to small, standardized, well-documented boxes that could be racked up and used to carry out a bunch of experimental runs in parallel quickly and cheaply. The whole damn point of the thing was that it was like those only smaller and easier to replicate. (And a few people did replicate them and grow plants in them.) I presume that was where the name came from; it was meant to be the PC to the metaphorical mainframes of the existing setups.
"However, realizing the full promise of quantum computing (e.g. Shor’s algorithm for factoring) still requires technical leaps to engineer fault-tolerant logical qubits"

It is a perfect device for those of us who spend a lot of our days reading and annotating scientific papers. The refresh rate on the screen is not relevant at (at least my) paper reading speed, and I can email marked up documents to collaborators and students.
Because then the solution applies to phones from app manufacturers, not just iPhones, at the carrier controlled systems rather than at the device manufacturer controlled systems.
I'm learning how to make 3d printed robots with useful printed gears etc. My hope is that in the future I can use recycled materials. The PETG I print with is the PET most bottles are made out of, plus the addition of glycol which I believe makes it tougher.

However making PETG from PET bottles, assuming it is even possible, does not seem like the best way to reuse plastics. I have wondered if you could make building wall panels by dumping a bunch of used plastic bottles in a press and using heat and pressure to fuse them together without ever chopping them or doing any chemical reprocessing. I've also seen a company that sells a machine to reprocess used plastic bottles in to plastic bricks. Using old plastic as a building material sounds really interesting to me.
Can you use the device locally (no cloud or "activation" or account, etc)
Isn't that We's end goal though? To get billion dollar companies like Microsoft, Stripe, etc. as tenants. People that don't really want to deal with running an entire building when they can just pay someone else to do it.
Not currently. However, the last release did just add a menu system, which would be a nice candidate for these kinds of IO behaviors!

I'm a single man. Maybe not "average", whatever that means, but ignore that.

Who would hate me or expect me to hurt them solely because of my relationship status? And why?

Do you have any evidence to back up your claims?
I feel the real reason really is just lack of time. It takes a serious amount of time to make and maintain a friendship.

This comes to a point with a family because you have so little extra time that you're very careful to use it wisely. To spend the hours hanging out and getting to know 10 strangers well enough that 1 may become a close friend is just a hard trade-off to make.

As another comment said, it makes one feel selfish. Especially, when that was time you could have spent with your wife and kids. It's hard.

The other thing I think we humans really end up dealing with is being alone. As you age, you simply have fewer and fewer friends. They die. You have less to offer to younger folks and are less mobile to get out. If anything, I think perfecting the ability to make friends would be handy. But I think in doing so, those friends would likely not be "deep" relationships...which gets back again to time.
> If my realtime-priority I/O completion routine tries to take a lock that might be held by an idle-priority GUI thread, why is that a problem?

This is a problem because you miss I/O deadlines. You say that “by definition” you’re not running at realtime priority, but that’s just switching around definitions, it’s not changing the problem—which is that you’re missing I/O deadlines.

> If I didn't want that to happen, I shouldn't have tried to take a lock in a realtime thread. What exactly should I have expected to happen?

Agreed that you shouldn’t try to lock in a realtime thread—which is exactly the advice of the article. But blocking until the other thread leisurely completes its work is not the only outcome. You can have the lower-priority thread inherit the priority of the highest-priority thread waiting for mutexes that it owns.

This, by the way, is one of the big reasons why mutexes on most systems aren’t just single words like they could be. This is also a very sensible way to do things. If your critical sections are short, it works well. It’s also a lot easier than doing lock-free synchronization.

This is neat to see on Linux, it reminds me of Platypus on OS X [1], which in turn drew spiritual inspiration (that is, I don't know if the author of Platypus knew about these) from CLImax [2] and even earlier, Macintosh Programmer's Workshop [3] [4]. I don't know where MPW got the idea from, that just happens to be where I first encountered it. Thanks to user classichasclass in this thread for reminding me that the feature was called Commando in MPW. I'm curious if it originated with MPW.

The larger plastic pieces turn to micro over time.

"Secondary plastics are small pieces of plastic derived from the breakdown of larger plastic debris, both at sea and on land. Over time, a culmination of physical, biological, and chemphotodegradation, including photodegradation caused by sunlight exposure, can reduce the structural integrity of plastic debris to a size that is eventually undetectable to the naked eye"[1]

It's questionable how valuable this would be. Analog computers were just a precise implementation of technology available at the time. To multiply more accurately, you bought more accurate discrete components. Now that we have digital computers, we are not constrained by the physical properties of the components of the computer -- you can use as many bits as you need to get the desired accuracy in your computation, and it doesn't matter if every component in the computer has a calibrated accuracy.

(Work on better manufacturing is still relevant for digital computers, of course. But the work leads to lower-power devices, not more accurate computations. Years ago, we used 5V logic because the average manufacturing tolerances gave acceptable differentiation between 5V and 0V. As manufacturing got better, 3.3V worked fine, then 1.2V, and now even lower. The result is wasting less power.)

There are certainly physical processes at work that limit how "good" of a digital computer we can build... the question is whether or not there is something about manufacturing analog computers that scales better than digital computers, and when we get to the limits of die size or how small features can be with lithography, if analog computers will become competitive again. I kind of doubt it. But I know pretty much nothing about this area.
I'd say more specifically humans that don't do a very good job.

As far as I'm concerned, trees are a renewable resource... we can (and do) plant and grow more. Clear-cutting for farming is the biggest issue with tree loss, and that's pretty much outside the US. Not paper production. Growing trees takes carbon out of the atmosphere, using it and burying it making room for new trees is not a bad thing.

Beyond this, an actual book gives you a lot more context to help remember things... the feel, shape and even the physically relative position of a given page vs the book as a whole. You lose that when you go digital. You also tend to be tethered to some DRM scheme that can take your books away.
dot/graphviz is great, but it can take a lot of tweaking and reading to get a good looking graph.
you lost me at "presumably they will" ...
Part of Taber's point was that it's harder to scale up than down. This is solved technology, and their failure to make miniaturized versions work at all is a further indictment of their project as a harvester of investor funding rather than an agricultural game-changer.

I don’t feel your metaphor quite fits, and there is no one definition of a country - especially not for the time period.

You can play semantic games about whether the nation was a nation at the point Arnold betrayed it, but he made a conscious decision to betray the Continental Army so really this is just splitting semantic hairs. The man is the quintessential turncoat.
There's a difference between not preventing behavior and enabling it, with gobs and gobs of cash.
