I wonder if there are other non-ethical commercial purposes for this.

For example, could shops use it to inflate their footfall and make them look busier than they are ?

Can you think of any other areas where this hack could be used for non-ethical purposes ?

Good luck with finding a decent GPU that small, let alone with power and thermal profile to support being in an expresscard slot.
At least one huge Bay Area elephant used to run NFS home dirs for basically all their corp.

So do you run fscrypt or LUKS with that?

Because NFS was already possible, so what is systemd trying to solve?
How to study effectively as a full-time developer
Ok, you disagree. But after writing "Yes it is", none of your following 8 sentences seem to support your opinion.

If someone is prosecuted and assumed guilty of a crime, then it proves that the law does not prevent the activity 100%. However, it also seems virtually certain that it prevents some of the crime.

If someone claimed that because people are arrested for murder all the time, the law(s) against murder have no effect, is that really serious? Or is it just the sort of thing people like to say, but everyone knows better?

If you make a statement and then don't support it, it creates the unfortunate appearance that you're not expressing sincere opinions, or if you are, that you won't explain where they come from.

That’s true! But the clusterfuck is a necessary part of the product birthing process, not something to be scorned. The baby product now needs to be nurtured and educated into a functioning adult. There are plenty of opportunities here. And this is where branding yourself comes in, to get the political power you need to do something right and fun with the product. Instead of a maintenance programmer, call yourself a “scalability engineer.” If you’re in a regulatory heavy business, read the regulatory manuals and become a “compliance engineer.” It will be super helpful for your career and give you the clout you need to make the necessary product improvements as the business matures. Just my two cents. I think you’re being downvoted because your tone comes across as scornful, but it’s really a fantastic opportunity for back end devs to make a difference.
Why expensive? If you compare it with other forms of rioting and strike I think is still cheap. Ghost digital crowd.

What's not obvious to me (I'm not a mathematician) is that both solutions answer the question correctly when the set of numbers is not pairwise coprime. For example, "Find the sum of all the multiples of 3 or 6 below 1000" is clearly just the same as "Find the sum of all the multiples of 3 below 1000", while the inclusion-exclusion algorithm will probably deliver a different answer.

You’re right. The solution for this is to replace “product of n and m” bij “least common multiple of n and m”. So, you would get (using 4 and 6 as an example that’s slightly better than 3 and 6):

Number of multiples of either 4 or 6
= Number of multiples of 4
+ Number of multiples of 6
- Number of multiples of lcm(4,6) = 12

and yes, if M gets larger enough, the “naive” algorithm can get faster. It will help if you bail out once you have found _a_ divisor, and, if your numbers are ‘large enough’ (1), to do division testing in some specific order (2).

(1) what is ‘large’ will be system dependent. In general, once you need bigint’s, but if your CPU doesn’t have a division instruction, it can come earlier.

(2) in general, smallest to largest, but if one of your test divisors is a power of 2, move those up front. Also, if you’re forced to use bigint’s, divisors of “2^register size +/- 1 and their factors may be easier (just as testing divisibility by 9 or 11 or 9’s factor 3 is easier in decimal written integers)
FOSS feels stuck in the stone age for many things, because doing something like ClearCase, world class IDEs or game middleware requires typical corporation level budgets, and since most don't want to pay for tooling, only corporate developers get the nice toys.

Another thing that ClearCase was already great at, 20 years ago, was providing a file system cache for C and C++ builds, providing a mechanism to only compile translation units that had outdated object files across all developer team.

The other horrible problem (also created by the government) is the slow, expensive, deliberately difficult legal system that requires hundreds of thousands of dollars and years of effort to sue the city (or anyone beyond small-claims court). Justice is only for those with tons of time and money.
Nicely looking idea. Not sure about the benefit though. SSD can be fitted in ThinkPad in several ways already 1) swap internal HDD 2) use the optical drivebay, needs a caddy 3) attach M2 SSD instead of WWAN card (this option is slower) 4) attach externally via eSATA (with adapter cable)

All of the options above are bootable (not sure about eSATA, but can test).

One more option is nice, of course, though not sure that booting off ExpressCard SSD could be directly supported by the BIOS.

In my experience, the most
demanded mod was HDMI adapter for DisplayPort, just to attach an occasional larger screen/TV.

Did they mention it will ever be supported on Navi?

It seems to be AMD is on its way to have specialise Architecture for each segment. Navi and Navi Refresh and Gaming GPU without Ray Tracing, so basically low end to middle segment. Navi 2 support Ray Tracing and aiming at higher quality possible.

Arcturus; the uArch name for Vega successor ( also known as Vega 30 ), was suppose to be double the size of VEAG VII, with all the power optimisation they learned from Zen 2. ( As in the current variant shown in Ryzen Mobile ). It seems AMD want to separate the GPGPU market from the rest. Which makes sense because 90% of the gamers dont do anything GPGPU based.

The problem isn't the choice of education or career (or job) that people wind up in. The wage gap between labourers and anyone capable of owning capital is so enormous that people on either side of it can rarely grasp its full measure. The wealthy still think of the poor as being essentially too lazy or stupid to better themselves since surely with a little frugality, hard work, education, and planning they could improve their position. They don't realize that even a well educated, disciplined and spartan individual can still barely improve their standing if they don't carry with them the trappings of the modern elite. Much of which depends on who you know, where you live, and the shibboleths you can recite.

"Go to college" or "just move" is very much the modern "let them eat cake" it is a complete and utter failure to understand the dire position that the Other is in. Likewise, the problem is not one of convenience, having no bread and so resorting to cake, but of necessity of life, working without receiving a wage that one can live on.

Teddy Roosevelt's New Nationalism speech is alluded to in the article but I feel like its spirit is not reflected in the writing.

I agree. On laptops I usually have an nVidia hybrid GPU but I always switch it off as I don't need it and use only the embedded Intel GPU.

Actually getting the nVidia GPU "really" switched off has often been a bit of a challenge.

Currently on a Lenovo P71 what I do is to have the nVidia-module not loaded (blacklisted or not even installed), load the "bbswitch" module and then execute "tee /proc/acpi/bbswitch <<<OFF" (and check with "cat /proc/acpi/bbswitch" if it returns "OFF"). Without doing this I noticed that the internal temperature when idle was a bit higher than what I thought it should be, so I must assume that otherwise the nVidia kind-of-GPU still consumes some watts even if the module is not even loaded/present.

An interesting "red but no traffic" phenomenon is in Iceland, with roads which are next to scenery viewing points. The roads are mostly empty in this country, but everyone must've slowed down when they saw the breathtaking scenery, and would pull into the viewing point's parking spot to stop and take pictures. On Google Maps these areas were marked red.

On another navigation related topic; I was using Waze in a high-traffic city, where even the alternate routes have a lot of traffic. I was thinking, it surely would be possible for Waze to look back along my route and calculate which route would have been better for me.

E.g. if I drove from A via B, C, D, E towards Z, and there was an alternate route A-B-F-G-E-Z, and the route branches out at B (you can either take path B-C-D-E or path B-F-G-E), the app could find a car that was near me at point B, and went to F later on. It would then know the time I would have needed to drive from B to F. This ghost car doesn't need to go all the way to E, if it turned off at F, the app could find another car, one which at that point was at point F and later on drove to G (or better, E), and then see how much time they took. And so on for each segment of my alternate route...
You don't need lots of cell phone plans, just one with a wifi hotspot.
I guess an important piece (conveniently left out of this story) is that it does not work if there are other cars on the road, as these cars quickly invalidate the data coming from the slow cart.
That's a good question indeed. I don't have an answer but some people got similar results when pointing out some issues internally. Only when publishing those on the mail list where everyone can read it things started to gain some traction.

"In April 2018 a Tor core member — the most active Tor Project person on that closed mailing list — made an attempt to initiate a “do not do” relay requirements list to improve and streamline the handling of malicious Tor relay reports. (I’m not mentioning his name since he does not want to be publicly associated with bad-relays handling for safety reasons.)
Unfortunately also this attempt failed since no Tor directory authority operator answered. (Tor directory authorities are required to enforce any Tor network wide rules unless it is part of the tor code itself.)

Starting with June 2019, after multiple reports about suspicious relays remained with no reaction I stopped sending them to the list. Occasionally I sent some suspicious relay groups to the public tor-talk mailing list instead — which ironically was more fruitful."

Even more ironical, the very person which reported that issue and similar ones (also on twitter) got his twitter account closed shortly afterwards (see other post on that site). So he has much less audience than before. Coincidence? Tinfoil hattery? Maybe. But certainly fishy.

The anonymous questions for all hands is a problem at our company. We used to have it and some people abused it. Instead of asking hard questions, one or more people used it to attack. "Why is so-and-so even here? They are utterly incapable and a fucking idiot." Or "how can leadership be so stupid?". A couple of bad apple comments came up each all hands so leadership changed it to not be anonymous. We lost out on other great questions, I'm sure, and also lost the toxic ones. People do ask hard questions tied to their names, but I'm sure we are losing other needed questions due to the policy.

You absolutely are. The use of the words "lower class" in your post is a perfect proof of that.
how could you vote for them?

Only because you can only vote for the candidates on the ballot paper and the two main parties have already been captured. There are other parties of course, but they are loons or worse.

Ironically Boris has done much more real work in his life than Corbyn, but neither has very much in common with the average voter-taxpayer.
You can say any date like that in American English, it’s just less common. “Today is the second of February” sounds perfectly natural, but I’d be more likely to say “Today is February second”.

In many instances I would argue relationships in the B2B sale are more important than price. I have both lost and won many deals because of only the relationship.

Just recently a fairly large one we lost had a fantastic ROI, about a 10% ramp time to the competition, and even had the CTO's buy in. But we lost and found out it was bc the VP was neighbors to the other sales rep and he convinced the CTO not to buy from us. From what I can gather from the other folks that were championing for me was mostly untrue FUD was used by this VP, all in an effort to help his buddy. Their cost was supposedly ~30% higher and I usually stomp that product to the ground - because of business cases.
I'm the person who has been quoted.

The person whom I addressed that was going to run a business selling access to a commenting feature. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22209411

The competition for that feature is free comments via Facebook so anyone who does not want to spend money has that ability. The other set of "competitors" is accessed for free via open source software that one can install.

As soon as the person signs up a first client, he or she would have to provide the service for some period of time. Just shutting it down won't be an option. Any and all businesses are a pain in the ass to operate.

Say that in order for this "business" to be viable in the eyes of the person running it ( not profitable, just viable ) it would need to eick out $500/mo in revenue.

To do that at $5.00/mo he would need to get 100 customers. That's a very tall order because the competition is free and price sensitive customers are going to go to a free service (facebook) or they are going to go to whatever service that shows up that will underprice the OP.

There's however another group of potential customers. They are people who for some reason need a problem of commenting solved and are willing to pay for it. Not a lot. But a some reasonable amount of money. What's reasonable? Well, a dinner for 2 in major cities is the USA is going to run you about $120. People who go out in those cities 4-10 times a month are the same people who have a daily Starbucks/La Colombe/Joe's Coffee/Pete's Coffee habit. They could make the coffee at home for $0.25 a cup just like they could make a dinner at home for $3/per person. Instead they choose to spend money not on the cheapest option but on option that simply solves their problem. They demonstrate it by buying Starbucks coffee and going out to dinner twice or three times a week.

It is much easier to find 5 of people who spend $100/mo on Starbucks who need to have commenting problem solved and convince them to spend $100/mo on it than to find 100 people who would spend $5/mo who think that spending $100/mo on solving their problem is too much. Why? Because the second group has already demonstrated that $100/mo is an expense they are willing to take.
As others have responded, there were survivors who testified at a trial regarding the boat (probably insurance).
> I'm not sure I'm comfortable with python for a typical shell script. But then again, what alternatives exist?

perl still exists, and is a wonderful alternative to python for "shell scripts plus". The syntax should be at least vaguely familiar to anyone who has touched bash, awk, sed, etc.
Yes but “descendre” and “monter” can mean other things in other contexts. So I feel the redundancy is from poor translation.
You are unlikely to be a customer of a paid-for commenting service as the alternative is free.

PS. I don't get the downvotes. Someone who says they won't spend $5 on a coffee because they are poor would be willing to pay for commenting feature on their website?! Something that they could get for free?

I thought it was very ironic that soon after that sentence, the author claims the arithmeticSum method is O(1) when it is actually O(log(n) log(log(n))).

Many people seem to assume that multiplication is a constant time operation. There is actually immense "hidden complexity" in doing multiplication of arbitrarily large integers efficiently. David Harvey proved last year that multiplication of two n bit integers can be done in O(n log n). It is still an open conjecture that this is the best possible.
