Here we go again. The support will end. The mayhem will ensue. The world will fall apart.

But thou shalt be saved if adopts to my (insert your pet piece of technology here ).

People will figure what they need and why without FUD articles.
Yep, managed an afternoon with 10, and I'm not one to usually give up, but due to my chipset not being supported which made shutting down difficult, I turned it off and have never booted that drive since. I have Win 8 and 8.1 on other devices, that have seen similar neglect. I have no desire to boot Windows at all. I've got a print queue stacking up mind.
Unfortunately it isn’t. You need to patch chromium to get VAAPI support (the library that leverages the hardware decoding in your cpu/gpu), and firefox doesn’t support it at all. There is hardware accelerated drawing, but decoding is all done on the CPU for the most part. It’s even more of a mess when dealing with nvidia which has its own decoding library.
My impression was that nobody ever got a raise at Microsoft for performance improvements, just new features. I'm not sure if that's true now but it certainly used to be.

Windows has a notably very slow VFS, and less than stellar internal locking in some cases (including process creation/destruction). That makes for example compilation jobs sometimes WAY more slower than on Linux.
You have to make some basic assumptions to do any statistical inference, because if you don't then literally anything can be explained by luck. For example, even if the author did a follow-up post (which I'd love to see as well!) every year for 30 years and made money every time, it could still be "selection bias".

The number of monkeys required to match the author's results over a 12-month period is well over the number of atoms in the universe.
It's a good question. rr writes all the state to disk. Every syscall of any kind gets saved and replayed back the same way when you replay the recording. This means that if your program reads a network packet in the recording, during the replay it will read exactly the same network packet at exactly the same point in it's execution.

On the other hand, outputs are not really recorded. During the replay your program will generate exactly the same output, so saving it to disk isn't necessary.

See http://rr-project.org/ for all the details.

There's no such thing as a free lunch, so it'll certainly slow your game down a bit. I recommend saving the trace to the fastest disk you can find. Also, you would want to run your game during development both with and without rr, precisely so that you know that you're not exceeding your time budget.
> Or you depend on software that doesn't work any more on Win10.

I was hoping this would be about WINE.. I've seen old software run better/safer in WINE than Windows, but I'm hesitant to get involved in recommending anything to people with legacy software problems. There is virtually no upside..
Am I the only one who read Natural Language Processing then found it's about something totally different?
Is careless inefficiency of for-profit corporations in a somewhat competitive market ever a root cause of high prices? I think it's more of a sign that they're raking in so much dough it wouldn't be worth their organizational overhead to pay attention to such crumbs. They aren't making a trillion dollars a year by missing things they'd know how to fix if they hung around HN.
I think it's unstable. I had to disable it because it was causing frequent reboots that wouldn't stop until the computer was powered off long enough that the memory cleared out. Even if I booted into Windows after the forced reboot, it would still continually reboot. I don't know what the issue was, but it stopped after disabling hardware acceleration.
Crimea cannot secede from the Ukraine. Was not a problem, solved with lots of honest news made by Russian journalists with help of Russian green (khaki) tourists.

Ukraine started full-blown military operation. Not a problem, because war was triggered on Donbass, part of Ukraine which is not annexed.

Ukraine is post-nuclear country, so it can nuke Russia. Not a problem, because of fear of MAD.

Please, invent something new.
Falling behind in what way?
All of the retail workers should move to middle America. Good plan, econ prof.
I think it might be useful to be a little more specific in your question:

Social media is a broad term and (in)efficiency can mean just about anything depending on context. Last but not least: What are our needs in your opinion?
Your argument essentially boils down to whataboutism. That we can't be concerned about an agency abusing it's power and reach to lock up American citizens because there are other issues to care about.

I'm not sure we should ignore flagrant disregard for the law just because more people die in car accidents but that's just me.
"Feed a cold, starve the flu."

I love it when there is a nugget of truth in old-wives-tales.
Eh I disagree for a multitude of reasons, first is that I really don't agree with the government assumed line of "what is poverty" and I seriously doubt that is the first thing that jumps into everyone's mind when they say people around them are "impoverished". Strictly speaking for 2018, 13064 is the official poverty line for an individual with no dependents below the age of 65. You can easily make above the poverty line working those jobs above, but working minimum wage is quite frankly poverty level in my mind, even 50% more would be pushing it.

Secondly there are additional items that are necessary for this next generation that I don't believe are really accounted for. A lack of good internet access in the form of a smartphone or pc is a literal handicap, if someone can't justify affording that, I would very much consider them impoverished. Time is literal money and denying the most advanced tool in our day and age that will save you large amounts of time/money is poor from my perspective.

Yes I realize this measures something else, but it is rather opaque, and it fails to account for other things like debt.
No, the students wanted to go to a US university - a reasonable thing to do, because US degrees are often more valuable than local ones.

So they went to the accreditation agency to get a list of universities to apply to.

They applied to those universities.

They got accepted by the fraudulent university.

The got their visas - after following all of the rules that they were meant to.

They arrived in the country.

They paid their fees to the university.

Once ICE got the money, they arrested all the victims of this fraud, and deported them so that it would become essentially impossible to get back the money ICE fraudulently stole from them.

What part of this is not

* fraud?

* entrapment

* theft

Especially now that the victims will have to check the “I have been deported from the US” box forever, and that alone is grounds to be rejected entry. So even if they do get the money ICE stole back, they are unlikely to ever be able to get a job for an American owned company, or that requires travel to America.

I want you to go through these steps and tell me which step taken by the victims was wrong, because you seem to be saying that the victims were committing fraud and it seems you must know something not in the article.

What setting is this? Afaik there is hardware accelerated drawing, but no VAAPI. There used to be some kludge back when gstreamer was the backend, but I’m pretty sure it doesn’t work now we’re using FFmpeg.

They are high for many reasons including the six people redundancy.

Healthcare in the US is basically “cost plus” which means the higher the costs, the higher the profits.

It’s a weird space where many payers don’t really have a drive to reduce costs.

Provider inefficiencies are very real as well.
One of the points of the OP as that a really good debugger does capture and show you "the whole sequence of events leading up to the problem".

It's totally understandable that people prefer good logging to traditional debuggers which really suck. But you have missed the point of the OP that much better debuggers are possible.
I find that it was not inefficient, but too efficient. Like our brains weren't ready for that dopamine hit of a Like, Retweet, and other instant feedback of validation.

Same thing with witch hunts online. Don't forget the famous "We did, Reddit!" where people were able to come together as a mob in an easier fashion than ever before (round the clock, and not defined by geographical borders)

We weren't, and still aren't, ready for it so we're struggling. This isn't even really social media specific, but social media's adoption was faster than any other technology I can think of in history. Like dwarfs phone, radio, and TV adoption.
What does it even mean to be a "distinct nation" really? For what it's worth, Crimea, which is the main arguing point of the whole thread, doesn't really have a distinct nation either, people there are and always have been pretty much Russian for all practical purposes, even while being a part of Ukraine. And while this isn't true for Latvia, this isn't any more true for Kalmykia (which no one argues over) either. In fact, I'd say the opposite is true.

So I call bullshit any attempts to paint things black and white here.
Hard to know for sure, but I doubt that more than a tiny fraction of win 7 users are on it for this reason.

The French in 1945 voted the communists into power - so I'm not sure they generally had the same views on the USSR as modern people do.
I meant that push --force may make the given commit disappear if it's not referenced by any branch and the repo gets garbage collected on the backend, then the URL will 404.
Looks good, I'll keep an eye on this as development goes on. One thing I'm particularly curious about: the project page emphasizes optimization through SIMD instructions and multi-threading. Are there any benchmarks versus other recommendation engines to demonstrate what type of performance improvement one should expect?
Kuban and Crimea was conquered by Russian Empress Catherine the Great from Ottomans and local Golden Horde debrises.

Ukraine was never considered non-Russian state until the fall of Soviets in 199x. Even when it gained short independency in 1917 by the rulings of the Brest Peace, it proclaimed itself as part of some new Russian Federation(that idea was not really liked by bolsheviks and they eliminated that state).

Even then Crimea wasn't the part of the Ukraine. It was added to Ukraine only in 1954, when Ukrainian-born Khruschev gave it to Ukraine without some plebiscite or other voting.

There were some lands that were really given to Ukraine for exchange for Kuban - the West Ukraine, which belonged to Poland before WWII.

With record-and-replay debugging that is not true. People can and are capturing failures outside the development environment (e.g. in CI) using rr and debugging those recordings in Pernosco, for example.
How is this allowed to happen? I don’t understand what the students did wrong

Thank you for this insight, particularly the concise manner in which you have articulated it.
This is true. With Valve's Proton improvements you often get even better performance with Linux than Windows.

From the site:

> While our analysis tool were not able to confirm that session cookies were sent as well, a long list of leaking cookies could mean that they would be.
Anyone in possession of those cookies can impersonate you on that website — i.e., access your account.

I hadn't considered that before, but they're right, it's extremely easy to accidentally leak session cookies through first party subdomains. I look forward to the inevitable conference talks that will be discussing this vulnerability.
Well the energy spent creating you across the last billion years was also significant!
War on Donbass is used by Russia to keep Crimea intact. Russia is not interested in these ruins, until Ukraine will rebuild Donbass again.
I've worked in a shop where InfoSec tried to be the Department of Yes. They were very effective at that - they basically never said "No" to anything. The downside was that they weren't actually able to say "No" to the things that they really needed to be able to change. A lack of accountability for decisions meant that people could ignore InfoSec consequence-free. All told, I've learned that security needs to have the ability to say "No" and the organizational backing to make it stick. It's the implicit threat that makes other groups play ball.

I've had at best mixed results with covering people with positivity and admiration in an effort to get them to fix things. It's often easy enough when it's something really small that looks easy and understandable. When you've got a whole architecture predicated on everything accessing everything unchecked, suggesting that maybe this absolutely amazing architecture could be even better with a tiny bit of TLS and authentication is unlikely to get you anywhere.
Its pretty amazing that these systems were using a form of virtual machines.
I remember we were running Win XP and Server 2000 pre-millenium. We were donated a Win 3.1 machine, and were astounded how fast it booted. Or rather it's all rather relative.

Win 10 was pared down for phone use, and the energy tweaks were welcome.

My company, Gold Fig(https://goldfiglabs.com), is working on something just adjacent to annotating webpages: we enable you to annotate changes you make on the web. Since so much of our work is powered by online platforms, we wanted a way to keep track of changes we were making in the tools we were using. Similar to how you would annotate a code change with a commit message, you should be able to annotate a CMS change, a platform settings change, or anything else you might be tweaking as you go about your work.

We'd love feedback from anyone who is interested in adding annotations, and especially those working on teams who could benefit from being able to share annotations.

We definitely understand that a lot of data is currently siloed, so to that end we're also interested in the annotation formats that we should be looking at. We currently export our own json format, but we would love to work well with existing tools.
Annoyingly this is relatively true. Nvidia’s driver works very well for servers and desktops, but the moment you’re on a laptop or you want to use Wayland you’re totally fucked. I have a dell precision with a quadro p2000 that I’ve owned for two years, and only last month has it become properly supported by Nvidia’s driver. Secure boot is also a massive problem (which can be sorta solved with MOKutil, but it’s messy)

Even if we accept this argument (I don't, to be clear), it could well be that what's heritable is the way MZ twins are treated versus the way DZ twins are treated, not self-control.

In that case, the fact that twin studies conclude that self-control is heritable is an artifact of the twin method.
Any game you play, particularly the ones running through distribution platforms like Steam, is wired up with enough telemetry that it would make Windows 10 blush. And they run with full privilege a lot of the time, too.

So if you are on Windows 7 'for privacy considerations', but use it as a gaming machine, then I have a bridge to sell you.
We have a couple of printers and scanners which have no manufacturer support after Win7 and thus require a generic feature-limited driver under Win10.

Control of privacy, auto-updates, and MS crapware is very difficult under the moving goalposts of Win10.

Cost to shift to Win10 is high in terms of training, switching over software, dealing with new drivers, and undoing undesirable changes with each update; meanwhile end-user benefit ranges from negative to slightly positive, depending who's measuring.

I agree that switching to Linux would be worse than Win10, before even considering all the Win-only software.
"Feed a cold, starve a fever." I've only a rudimentary knowledge of biochem, but giving fuel to your immune system when it needs it also gives fuel to a virus in your system, but you're betting that a boosted immune system will overcome the boosted virus.

For access to a better peer group. That’s the theme of this thread — teachers and resources don’t have that big an influence, but peers do.
Opening many small files. That's a design decision by the way - opening a file on NTFS involves a whole bunch of stuff like letting "filters" to be injected between the program and the OS. This is what makes virus scanners and on-demand cloud storage like OneDrive work. It's a good model for some use cases (eg. above), and not as good for others (compiling C++ projects).
AlphaGo (and, presuably, any AI system with a remotely simmilar means of operation) can output a score for each move. Actually, AG can output 2 scores: win percentage and branches explored.

You can use the relative scores to decide when to overrule the AI. Eg, if move A has a 50.1% win chance with 2k branches explored, and B has a 50.2% chance with 1.9k branches explored, I would go with the opinion of an expert human, as AG thinks the moves are essentially equal.

Consuming is always going to be less sexy than creating.

Who would be more impressive, someone that can play a song on a guitar or or someone that can play a song over speakers? The former implies dedication and practice. The act of creation is always going to have a place in society, and people who think otherwise don't understand culture. The desire to make unique and interesting things or impress people will always leave room for creation or spending time to learn something. AI will just be a tool.

As for games like chess and go: Most people are interested in other people and will find much more pleasure in playing the game with others.

With some positive sides also. Having a free encyclopedia, cheap universal access to educative videos or detailed satellite photos of the whole planet in 70s would have been mind blowing. Being poor today is more frustrating, but the DIY part is much easier, as making connections, and this has also an economic value.

Knowledge is not protected in semi-secretive guilds anymore. The counterpart effect is the disparition of entire sets of steps in the social stair. You can not make a living anymore selling printed maps for example. Poor people could climb, a little, but there is no so many stairs to grasp.
Have you heard of Google, and how as a late entrant to web search, it's grown to be the 4th-most-valuable public company in the world, largely based on superior technology?

But seriously, while I can't be sure Page & Brin were necessarily the absolute best of all Google's talent, they seem pretty smart & effective.

They did a lot of the original work, and hired & managed the original team – which at the time of these Excite negotiations, was probably just a dozen or so people. (That is, smaller than the ~100 person Excite search team whose results they at least matched, drawing the acquisition interest for their impressive performance & scaling potential.) Page & Brin both remained deeply involved in Google's successful product efforts for another decade, and Page is still CEO of the successor parent company Alphabet.

Neither Google, nor Excite in the hypothetical alt-timeline where Excite bought Google, would have wanted to lose Page, Brin, or other top talent by the end of 2001 – when Excite@Home hit the rocks in our timeline.
Hypothesis: Teachers, individually, don't have statistically measurable effects. Students in a given cohort are mostly identical, and are mostly exposed to identical environments, such that influences on them average to some mean. As a result, minor influences, as long as they act reasonably consistently, are elevated to statistical significance.

Sarcasm aside, it's because India knows it'd lose in the referendum. The area is >60% Muslim, India has committed some horrible atrocities in the area, and there's just no way the majority of people there today would vote for India (decades ago, it would have been the opposite).

Hence, India will do anything it can for the referendum to just not happen.
Wow, revolutionary. It's not like its been known for years already that sugar acts as an effective immune suppressant.

It's always funny to see how school medicine tracks the state of the art by 20 years into the past and then another 40 before it hits the actual doctors and their patients (for the latter part, ongoing re-education requirements might help as to avoid people like my grandma who still thinks after being 30 years out of practice that what she learned after the second world war in her studies is the state of the art of medicine).

For the first part, I have no answer. Something is utterly broken with the way school medicine "innovates".

>so if you want to do gaming Windows 7 is your best choice.

maybe for next year or so. For one, it's reaching EOL so no security patches. There's extended support to 2023 but it costs $$$ and it's uncertain how reliably you could pirate it. Even if you ignore security patches, you're going to have to deal with developers dropping support for windows 7, so there are going to be more and more games that require windows 10, and getting updated graphics drivers might be tricky.
I had similar thoughts, but, um, skate where the puck is headed?
