> Cameron originally offered and called the referendum expecting a win for remain, to put the Tory lunatic fringe back in the box for a generation. They campaigned terribly, remain lost...

All true, but even then there was the opportunity for spin, especially because Cameron resigned. TM could have said, "I respect the need to leave the EU, but we can't just ignore the needs of Scotland and NI (not to mention business, in the days before fuck business). So we'll do a compromise soft Brexit reflecting the 52/48 vote. It was made clear that Leave didn't mean leaving the SM. Also, David Cameron is an idiot." She didn't.

> Labour? Bizarre. They have been unable to take a stand, or we wouldn't be in this mess. Most of the party are remain. They could have voted through any deal at any time. Yet their official stance is "it depends, maybe".

Tell that to pytester below. I have no idea how anyone could be watching Labour and think that they have ever taken a clear stand this entire time, but apparently, some people do buy into this "kinda-sorta SM and CU but not the actual thing" and "second referendum? uh, no, maybe, yes but we'll be neutral" stuff of Corbyn's.

Labour may well have some good policies, and my wife and her far left American friends think Corbyn walks on water, but they have been punished severely in the polls for this lack of clarity. How could anyone think Corbyn is a good leader when his party is doing so horribly in the polls despite ongoing Tory fuckups is also beyond me.

If the thought process in the UK is anything like the US, presumably staunch Labour supporters simply chalk it up to the 40+% of Tory voters being ignorant, bigoted rednecks. Just as an honest person has to ask some hard questions of Hillary Clinton for losing to Donald Trump, anyone who can lose to BORIS JOHNSON needs to find another job.
I personally love Dyson system. I have an old Dyson working, so powerful that making new ones of that power is forbidden in the UE.

Dumping the dusty container is much better than using bags in my own experience. When I used them they were extremely expensive and hard to find. The vacuum loses power as it fills.

If bags are cheap, that I don't know, it is only because Dyson has made them a commodity.

Using it for years (maybe decades) and never changed the filter, which is extremely easy to clean regularly.
> I said it fixes the same problems as OP listed.

The OP listed noted that hermeticity is required for fast builds, and that humans can't be relied upon to provide hermeticity as a property. How does build2 guarantee hermeticity or otherwise support fast builds without a clean room solution a la bazel?

No.
You're changing the topic. The post I responded to was attempting to make the case that consent was manufactured and, thus (presumably), invalid. Do you accept my argument that this is not a reasonable approach to arguing about the validity of the Brexit vote?
I don't know what to tell you, either. The IPCC is not a scientific body, it's a political body. It's a source of misinformation.

Your posts are also full of cherry-picking.

A few things are going on here.

libgfxinit support for Comet Lake is coming. The Intel GOP driver is a bit different than this, though. There is an Intel PEIM graphics driver that comes from the PSP, that provides a software-rendering framebuffer similar to what libgfxinit does. The Intel GOP driver provides some hardware acceleration, which is useful especially for HiDPI systems but not critical to device functionality.

The HAP bit does not have an effect since ME version 12. ME 12 was used on Coffee Lake systems, and ME 14 is used on Comet Lake systems. These support a different method of disablement using a HECI message, presumably to make dynamic disabling of the ME easier to do. Our firmware always sends this message, having the same effect as setting the HAP bit.

me_cleaner does not appear to function on version 14 of the ME. As soon as it does, we will also utilize me_cleaner to remove ME modules.
I started by going through the Java tutorial[1] to get a feel for it. It's fairly approachable and you don't actually need any Java knowledge.

Once you familiarize yourself with the concept of rules and targets, you can follow the instructions for whichever ruleset you want to use. The official one for JS is rules_nodejs[2]

Another thing that really helped me cement my understanding of Bazel was to deep dive into Starlark and write my own rules. The examples repo[3] is a great resource for that

Years ago I began meditating. I’m by no means an expert, nor would I identify as “religious”. But any deep meditation can result the sensation of loss of self. Or a change in perspective, in seeing the impermanence of things. The piece that only recently became clear to me, was the role of “compassion” in all of this.

To me, yes, the universe in a sense goes on no matter what we do to the planet. Everything is impermanent. But is our current path the most compassionate one for all the various forms of life on earth? I don’t think it is.

Perhaps some will find this too “out there” for a HN conversation. But I think it’s relevant when we consider the impermanence of things, and the... morality of our actions, for lack of a better word — it’s important we consider what the most compassionate path is we can take as a species.
50% less bites does not imply only 1/2 of flies are biting. It's more likely that each fly bites only 1/2 as much.
>Did you change the contents of your meals when you changed to fasting

Changed it. Currently eating a small subset of foods that I'm likely not sensitive to (chicken, rice, mushroom, various veg, blueberries, figs). That seems balanced enough that I can probably safely sustain it for a while. Googling kicked up a bunch of directly contradictory info on what helps w/ inflammation so I'm just winging it.

But at about 700/2000 calorie intake. All 700 at night, so fasting 23 hrs per day basically while running a crazy high deficit. Surprised how normal/better I feel with that crazy schedule.

In my experience Dysons are overpriced garbage. Do yourself a favor and buy a miele next time.
Dyson uses batteries but doesn't manufacture batteries. They've been researching the hell out of batteries but they don't manufacture batteries and they sure don't manufacture batteries at scale. Contrast with the Tesla gigafactory which cost $5B.

Dyson may have had something with their digital motor. It's hard to say whether that is an advantage let alone a competitive advantage. But at this point they should license that to one of the other EV players.

I don’t disagree that you found it easy. I’ve done this in the past and found it easy too. But the things that you or I may find easy are not necessarily easy to the large fraction of the population who are not particularly good with technology.

I’m not sure how I found F-droid. I think it was from knowing I wanted free software, finding myself overwhelmed with crap in the regular App Store and some combination of luck/determination.

In the case of the protests in Hong Kong I think there is sufficient motivation to go through these potentially tricky/scary steps and there would, if necessary, surely be resources on how to do it.

But that’s also a situation where following instructions from some crowd to download some apps from some non-google source is risky. It seems that if people were doing this then it wouldn’t be long until there was a reasonable chance of being tricked into downloading CCP-sponsored malware
> that this kind of arrant nonsense does in fact depress their desire to participate in projects whose leaders engage in it

I don't doubt that. And you're right to point that out.

You'd be even more right if you didn't exaggerate the words he said while paraphrasing because your version changes the story from "poor taste in jokes alienating women" to basically accusations of sexual harrassment.

And a lot of us don't like to see exaggerated accusations toward anybody, but especially given the recent scandal where RMS suffered a lot of misrepresentation and emotional overreactions all over the Internet.

Now, the change in leadership (or, to start with, decentralization) might ultimately be a good thing for the GNU project, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't treat the reputation of the outgoing FSF president with at least some respect.

So let's be correct and factual, this will really help discussions like this be more constructive from all sides.

If you read the metaphorical marketing data sheet, DNA can look really interesting. If you get down into what reading it actually entails, it honestly starts looking less enticing. Biology optimizes pretty heavily for constructing proteins with it and the ability to duplicate it, not generic data storage. There's a lot of details you don't learn in school about how transcription works that make it less and less appealing as a general-purpose data store the more you learn, IMHO. If nothing else, it looks more like tape storage than any sort of random access storage, which right off the bat is a pretty significant hit nowadays.

DNA mastery is important on its own terms as biology mastery, but I wouldn't be surprised there is no point in the future in which it is the optimal mechanism for storing generic data.
I've been looking for a way to write cross-platform apps without a painful language or build hell, and I've just come across EQL5-Android, which binds Qt for Android with Embeddable Common Lisp.

Feeling sympathy based on economic importance seems bizarre. The economic impact of the HK protests on North America will be fairly minimal. The only reason to feel sympathy, then, is that governments are attacking their own people. That isn’t a reason to ignore Iraq.

Also it’s amusing that you’ve managed to elide the not insubstantial relationship of having started a war that killed at least a hundred thousand Iraqis and in all probability many more.

When Medium launched it provided an elegantly focused compose / reading experience which was unique at the time.

Because many decades of stability based upon simplicity are not good enough for today's world.
Pretty close to the best performance though. So close that the difference doesn't matter for almost all apps. C and C++ are faster. Rust is maybe sometimes faster. Java is mostly slower. Python/Ruby you get a 20-40x faster performance on 1 goroutine. Much bigger gain if you do many things concurrently.

The history of warfare is littered with decision makers failing to accept how out of dating their thinking is in face of current technology. This why the US civil war and WW1 were so damn bloody.

In this current age of instant communications, global logistics, and rapid deployment people are again failing to accept how strategy must change in response to these technologies.

Ever since Vietnam the world has entered the age of long war. War can be won, but not when people lack the necessary patience, persistence, and drive to win. For the home team to win all they have to do is remain vigilant. They don't have to win a single battle. They just have to remain militant longer than the opposing force has patience. Game over.

For an invading force to win they must be able to have a quick and decisive invasion that results in a clear military victory and then must hold the ground, in cooperation with supporting elements, as long as it takes for the defending forces to cease military action. COIN (counter-insurgency) is rarely taken seriously, but is so incredibly essential. All of this could take decades.

That is a hard win since most people in a first-world country understand warfare about as well as they understand poverty or astrophysics. Everyone seems to think they are an expert in these matters despite all evidence to the contrary and their clearly never working with or in proximity to the field of study.
I agree that Saddam deserved to die. He was a monster who used chemical weapons against his own people. But the premise of the war wasn't "Saddam is bad so we should stop him," it was "Iraq is developing WMDs and is an imminent threat." That, of course, was a lie.

Bosnia was different. Clinton was 100% correct (and too slow) to act, because it was genocide. He already Rwandan blood on his hands by his inaction.

Converting an iOS app to "a web app" isn't exactly a trivial undertaking. Remember you're likely saying "Reimplement the app atop an entirely different family of libraries and APIs."
Why not?

Ok, admittedly, there are a couple reasons. The fact that most papers don't mention the framework they use is a big one. So if users of one framework disproportionately mentioned that framework in their paper, it would be overrepresented.

I did cover this concern though, in the Appendix. Check out the "Biased Sample" section.(https://thegradient.pub/p/cef6dd26-f952-4265-a2bc-f8bfb9eb1e...)

Basically, some conferences have encouraged researchers to submit code. Instead of checking the papers, I checked their code instead. The results are pretty much the same. So I think that mentions in top conferences probably correlates well with uses in code.

That's funny: "Apple will always be a second-class citizen to Android"

You don't hear about 14 million iPhones being infected by malware[0], do you? Or malware stealing users' bank credentials[1]? Heck, there are people whose brand new phone comes pre-loaded with malware[2]. Oh, this one was just posted five hours ago -- applications on the Google Play store load with trojans and spyware[3].

I can keep going, but the point is: if any platform is "second-class", it's Android by far. I'll pick the one that doesn't have apps on its official App Store rooting my phone and installing spyware.

Yeah I agree that it’s a bit nuanced but I’m not convinced that the reason for it was a moral stance about user liberty. I think it was more straightforward: this was how non-Apple phones worked and it was how computers worked, so it possibly didn’t require much effort to think to lock down the OS. Of course I think many people at google at the time would have been in favour of that decision. I wonder if google would make the same decision today, and I wonder who would argue for which sides about it.

It's been pretty good with PyTorch. The API has been fairly stable and I've adopted code developed from 0.4.0 to 1.0.0+ with barely the need for any tweaks. Granted, it's a younger project so for now things are stable but maybe 3 years from now they may have some giant API refresh. But I find their API quite nice for the most part so I don't see them needing to switch everything up periodically.
Yes, I’ve seen this quite often and been annoyed with it. I thought it had to do with the embedded web view in certain apps or the user agent used by an app’s web view.

For the vast majority of people, protecting them from their own lack of willingness to educate themselves about data security and malware (a nontrivial time investment, let me tell you, having done it myself), is a feature, not a bug.

It's not that they're paying more for less; it's that they're paying more for a curated less. For the vast majority of Apple's customers, this works out great (provided they aren't ever going to engage in an antigovernment protest).

Our Positions
I used a system76 gazelle professional during part of college. Ran Arch on it. Probably 2 years or so. 15". It was really solid. I think I bought it in 2013? The only drawback was the battery life. 45 mins tops, and the battery itself only lasted 2-3 years. I replaced it twice, once right before I gave it to my sister, and once for her after she'd had it for a similar period of time. I used it as a desktop replacement, so it was plugged in a good deal of the time. The specs were great, screen was great, etc. I still have it plugged in on a shelf in my homelab to use for random testing stuff (got it back from my sister eventually).

I only replaced it because I decided I wanted to go the "ultrabook" route and have an i5-xxxxU processor but get 12+ hours of battery life. I got a T440s, and ran linux on it, ofc.
Interesting idea, I wonder if we could basically do that now albeit probably not very efficiently. All a machine needs to do is manufacture glucose using CO2, H2O & energy, then we inject it directly into our bloodstream, probably along with some multivitamins.

In theory, yes. In practice... you will need to either a) force everyone in your team to never use native Go tools ever, or b) cobble together third-party tools to bridge the two worlds. Start with https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel-gazelle and see how deep the rabbit hole goes.

It's possible, but it's not trivial, and not nearly as smooth as using the Go tools in the first place. Unless you have a hair-on-fire problem dealing with cross-language dependencies or insanely long build times, it will probably not be a good use of your time.
