IMO that's kind of a survivor syndrome though. The origins of modern comp science was heavily intermingled with latin languages and english in the form of ASCII just didn't get in the way. The entire alphabet of 52 main characters not including punctuation is not even close to being a small set. The world has adapted and considers it a non-issue anyway but personally I'd still like to see a lot more localization so people don't have to learn a second language in the form of english first, as it is now.
I have read the articles, but have not found an explanation or specific examples. It's not as if Tor doesn't care about onion services; they just spent 4 years designing and implementing the v3 onion service protocol.

I wonder how FF/Chrome would react to this!
There was a civilization collapse before, around 500 C.E. Cities abandoned, books burned, technology forgotten. It took 1000 years to get back to the level of that civilization. People living off the land only have so much time in the day. Some of the causes of collapse included military spending, constant wars, erosion of traditional polytheistic values by intolerant religion, government corruption and political instability, lead pollution, soil erosion and deforestation.
Looks like it primarily comes from two ASN's in Brazil: CLARO S.A. (AS28573) and TELEFÔNICA BRASIL S.A (AS18881). Interestingly, it looks like Brazil is right up there with Russia when it comes to total number of risky ASN's.

My move happened few months ago. I used Linux for years (and still use it in VMs/servers), however after changing GPU it was a compatibility nightmare. I chose AMD partly because I heard that drivers are good on Linux. Not sure how many hours I spend on it.
no but it seems I should.
The holdings of institutional investors (pensions, mutual funds, and so-called “activist investors” with a lot of cash) far outstrip the shares issued to employees as compensation. Plus, since it is seen as part of pay, many employees sell their holdings quickly. There’s no reason to suspect US companies would ever grant enough shares for employees to band together in this way. That would be anathema to management and board control of worker conditions and output.

Regular employees are interested in the company’s shares insofar as the price is high, not as a means to influence company governance.
For once, I found out about this early in the morning instead of the day after.
Running your own guard is stupid unless you open it for the world to use.

If you're the only person using the guard, then the guard offers you zero anonymity.

And if lots of people use your guard, then make sure it doesn't violate your ISP's terms of service. (Most ISPs have a clause about residential customers not running public services.) Also, have a plan in place for when (not if) you receive legal notices about copyright infringement, child porn distribution, and other acts that could be criminal in your country/city.
Until a few months ago, Chromecasting wasn't even an option, so their only app didn't work on a device where Netflix, YouTube, VLC, Kodi, etc. are working just fine.

Amazon can build backend infrastructure but their frontend is always bad. I have never used a single Amazon app that was well made, simple to use, and resource efficient.
I am not saying that. I just had terrible experience on a laptop with AMD GPU + Linux (rip battery) and on a desktop with discrete AMD GPU (suspend and whatnot errors) + Linux. Friends and coworkers with NVIDIA didn't seem to have those problems
This really isn't a problem for the task of learning PLs in Chinese where the number of keywords is bounded...

I would agree that Han characters are a suboptimal technology for everyday written communication due to its large character inventory but this is not a topic where that seems to pose a problem.
Maybe a casual user doesn't care, but a power user / dev trying to script it would benefit. Just like how some users of Linux applications just use them interactively and read the English language stderr stream, while others appreciate a myriad of exit codes so a calling script can unambiguously do different things depending on what sort of problem the application is presenting.
This is such an incredible story. This dude was a BA buccaneer and accomplished sailor.

He had one book with him: The Bible.

If you were allowed one book on a deserted island what book would you bring and why?

I’m taking the ESV Study Bible. Massive book with loads of commentary. Regardless of one’s beliefs it would be a phenomenal thing to concur.

>implementing outsourcing

Exactly, this seemed completely missing from the hand-wringing about how what's wrong with the Democratic party is that it is just too elitist for the working classes now. There is in fact a lot of truth to that, but it is the economic policy, or lack thereof, of both parties has allowed capital, controlled by very few, to flow unimpeded overseas. If you want to retain a middle-class economic base, you have to take measures to incentivize capital to remain in the country.

My own employer is aggressively moving to shift all of it's technical knowledge work to India; companies like Accenture and IBM now employ more people there than in the US. There will soon be as little Knowledge Economy work in the US as there is old Industrial Economy work. Where will all of these college (or Denmark-style vocationally trained) end up working? Wal-Mart. Sell the people out twice and you will end up with some kind of revolt. You're not going to convince anybody at that point that it's the grad school gap that's killing America and that we should have a Ph.D. For All program to solve it.
It's a joke from "Master and Commander"
We bought a few Ryzens with Vega8 for our devs on linux and it was a mistake. Unfortunately integrated graphics glitched horribly and it required us to find right set of kernel flags and features to disable. After encountering bug with amdgpu module randomly giving up, we just used discrete gpu.
I don't feel comfortable relying on their gpus after this experience but cpus are undeniably good.
Thank you for sharing your experience! Do you mind disclosing the line of work you were in?
DNA Methylation in Prokaryotes
The drivers are perfectly fine, as long as you don't have a new 5xxx card. Those seem to have ongoing issues.

But my experience with AMD cards on Windows and Linux has been overall pretty great.
Not true of dates though, since you can set hard bounds at the big bang (or whatever) and the heat death of the universe.
Which card is this?
In Germany, like most places where 'University is free' - they generally have strict rules on the numbers that can attend, so those with proper Uni degrees hover around 25%. (FYI in America and Canada 'post secondary' can mean something broader).

But they have something called 'Mittelstand' or middle industry - vast numbers of mid-sized firms that employ zillions of people, in particular, the take take in apprentices as part of the education program. Millions of kids pour into these programs wherein they learn one of a myriad of highly specialised trade skills. Said skills are highly relevant to industry, and point right at employment.

There's nothing wrong with a History major, but maybe they're only good for people who really do want to do that, because the debt and cost to society of people who just want to 'tick the Uni' box is too much.

But consider the major social impact of training and employment: Dignity and a Respected Role in Society. This to me is the oft overlooked element. These people do something useful, material, gainful, often have unions (with board representation), they can pay for themselves and other people respect them as having an important role to play in society.

Obviously, this system institutionalises class to some degree. The ranks of those going on to higher ed are full of upper/upper-middle class kids, but, at least there's 'something with integrity for everyone'.

If Republicans were smart, they'd pursue this path because it's better for business, but I don't believe their leadership is forward thinking enough. The Democrats could play this angle too, however, it just doesn't have enough 'purity' and doesn't play the progressive angle hard enough.

It might be possible to start doing these things on the state level, or to elected a leader that starts to think in these terms coming from a different angle. We can only hope.
> compared to something like middle english, which modern readers cannot read at all, you can see that the chinese language hasn't changed all that much

This is nonsense. Here's some middle english (taken from https://www.chaucermss.org/?manuscript=Dd&tale=GP&version=si... ):

A Millere was there / dwellyng many a day
As any Pecok / he was proud and gay
Pipe he coude and fisshe / and nettes bete
And trne cuppes / & wel wrestel and shete
Ay by his belt / he bar a long panade
And of a swerd / ful trenchaūt was the blade

Middle English is much more similar to modern English than Classical Chinese is to modern Chinese (of any variety), for the obvious reason that Middle English is separated from modern English by less than half the period separating Classical Chinese from modern Chinese.
I'll tentatively believe you for now that you aren't stalking me. But you are borderline creeping me the hell out.

>If dang thinks that it warrants telling me to back off, I will take that very seriously.

Are you serious? The person that is feeling harassed is telling you to back off and you are getting in his face and saying let dang decide? I don't think you're serious if you are actually inviting me to escalate this issue. If you reply to any one of my other posts I definitely will request his aid to moderate. BACK OFF.
> Cheap consumer goods from China are not worth this price.

How about the multitude of America products/software/services that are exported around the globe? Globalization is not a one-way street: a good chunk of the American economic growth is due to exports ("How's your 401k doing?")

> The result may well be the destruction of our democracy.

Who could have predicted unfettered/crony capitalism could work against democracy; after all, profits, political power and human dignity are completely unrelated to each other, right?
> Microsoft was so slow to support USB

It's hard to agree with that when there was a version (the first of two) of Windows 95 available with USB support at pretty much exactly the same time this "preview" article was published. They (Win95 OSR2.1 aka Win98 "B" and OSR2.5 aka Win95 "C") were only available to OEMs, sure, but that's still a year and a half before the iMac's debut!

The linked article is the December 1996 issue (so written in November), and while I can't seem to find exact "release" dates for the OEM-only version of Windows, here's an article dated January 6, 1997 that mentions it and its "USB Supplement to OSR2" package: http://brianlivingston.com/windowmanager/archive/cgi-bin/new...

I can't find a source for this part so please forgive me if my memory is flawed, but I remember OSR2 having only USB 1.0 support and not USB 1.1 like Windows 98.

=========================

"The usbsupp.exe driver is located on the Windows 95 OEM Service Release CD-ROMs version 2.1 and 2.5 at drive:\Other\USB Folder (where drive: is the drive letter for your CD drive). If you do not have the CD-ROM available, you can download the driver from the World Wide Web at http://www.microsoft.com/HWDEV/devdes/usbgame.htm. Save the file to a floppy disk or to a temporary location on your C: drive, such as C:\temp.

To install the driver, follow this procedure:
- Click the Start button, and then choose Programs and Windows Explorer from the pop-up menus.
- The Exploring window is displayed.
- Locate the file USBSUPP.EXE and double-click on the icon.
- Follow the instructions on the screen to install the driver.
- After Windows 95 restarts, you should be able to use USB devices with Windows 95.

The README.TXT file included with the driver contains information on how to uninstall and reinstall the driver, if necessary. It also describes how to consult the Microsoft Knowledge Base for more information on the USB driver."
402 makes sense. "Theres no page here but I can make a page here if you pay me."
Agreed! I posted this link here because I thought it was laughable, too. We do GPGPU programming (signal processing) and there's really no choice but Nvidia. I'd love there to be some competition, but AMDs developer tools and support are nothing compared to Nvidia. Plus Nvidia architecture is more "general purpose" than AMDs is for general computation
As an outsider, it's encouraging that the debate seems mixed. That seems to point to the idea that real competition is afoot.

A year or so ago, the discussion seemed much more clear that AMD wasn't in the game at all.
^and it was awesome.
I read this and can't help but think that the real fools are the ones buying into the elitism narrative that the far-right has been peddling for years. It's a deliberate red herring exploiting the very human tendency to chafe at any perceived condescension.

If people in the US primarily voted the issues (that matter and affect them) instead of on the basis of nonsense, Democrats would win by a landslide.

Republican politicians are trading away relatively meaningless concessions (on things they likely don't genuinely care about like guns, LGBT rights, abortion, religion, etc) as a cover for tremendously detrimental policymaking that includes broad spectrum deregulation, huge transfers into the military-industrial complex, and massive cuts to social programs including education, healthcare, welfare, etc.

We know that's the game plan. The real fools are the people who continue to fall for this shit.

Edit: I should add that I don't necessarily believe everything about the Democratic Party's platform is valid. But they are unquestionably the better choice for the vast majority of voters.

Would this have any real performance benefit over a traditional SSD?
Not every tool is right for every job. But the idea that services provide no guardrails is, in my experience, categorically false. Like I said, not a fan of "micro", but there is a ton of inherent value in defining implicit isolation barriers. It's absolutely true that there is NO design impervious to idiots. This has always been true and will remain true until the heat death of the universe. But man, "hard" isolation barriers are nice to have, either through services or packages. I worked for a company and I was on a team that built a set of packages which were distributed to a bunch of other teams, and due to organization changes another team took ownership of one of those packages. In almost no time flat it became absolutely convoluted. Not my problem though, right? Here's the thing: it became buggy and hard for them to maintain, but it had no effect except for when using that particular package. I had worked on a project previously where there was a legit monolith, no packages or library delineations, one code base, and boy with all the teams sticking their fingers in that particular pie things got out of hand in a BAD way. It was so bad that certain teams would get into change wars where one group would make a change in a module that would break another group who would change it back and break the first group, and back and forth.

After my team had taken that project and split it into a bunch of smaller packages, it's not like everyone magically became better programmers. The same people who were introducing fucking spaghetti code that did who-knows-what in overly complex ways were still around, and they were given effectively their own sandboxes. In fact quite a few more teams within the company began using those packages, which just became modules they shipped with. We no longer had to deal with people screwing with core packages because they no longer had ownership, they could no longer make merges into that area of the code base, so we could keep things stable.

So I'm a hard sell on monoliths. Like, I'm not actually pro micro-services, per se. I'm mostly just anti-monolith. Giant code bases with multiple teams simultaneously contributing are doomed to fucking disaster.
I love the term "middle endianness" and how clearly it highlights how nuts the American date notation is.

EDIT: fwiw, in my native language, most numbers from 100 and 1000 are pronounced middle endian, so I'm not complaining.
City of Dallas Shuts Down Business of Man Who Called Cops 100 Times in 20 Months
Not to mention future employers combing through your history. Anything could be taken out of context and used against you. You see this all the time with political candidates-- that one drunken photo of you at a party in college? Who knows, it could bite you 30 years down the road, in ways that you never expected.
This would mean that you have to make sure elsewhere in your code that the last coordinate is always normalised to 1, so do you win overall using this strategy? Plus, the same cast in the other method is ptr+1, which is assumedly just as fast.

Turns out "Beware the behaviors you incentivize" doesn't only apply to scrappy startups, but scales up to whole nations. If profit is the sole metric you judge companies/CEOs/boards by, don't be surprised by the lengths they will go to maximize it.
I'm not sure if it's possible. We all have plenty of incentive to keep on pretending that the emperor has clothes. The educated elite run the world. Why would we overthrow ourselves? The degree is the first fence protecting the gated community of the new urban aristocracy.
I'd add from my experience: decide if you want to have a product at the end or learn something. I've tried a few times to "do this thing while also using X to learn about it". Every time I did learn about X. Rarely did I ever end up with the expected end product though (because learning and trying new things gets in the way of actually completing until I ran out of time/steam)
Show HN: Make MeetUp Groups for Free
1) Make a new group on MeetUp.com (needs credit card).

2) Add a user from another Meetup account.

3) Make the second user a co-organizer.

4) Resign the first creator's account and ask for a refund.

5) Then you can join the group again and use the second account to make the first account co-organizer.
Ask HN: Is it ethically right to build product that might end up as a rip off
Two weeks ago we launched a product on Product hunt that went on to #1. There were a lot of new users coming in and asking for new features/feedback, we were trying hard to keep up with the requests (used Notion for a while to track). Then I found Canny (one amazing tool) and a few others. But all of them were a little expensive for us and decided to make one for ourselves to track and manage feature requests from customers. http://featurequests.com/ is the landing page.

Is it ethically right to build a product that I know might end up as a rip-off, especially because these products already influence my design and thinking?

I agree that the lack of (official) Navi support is just bad strategy on AMD's part, but I disagree with your numbers.

Their goal needs to be performance parity or dominance, and then perhaps offer a slight discount. That's how they're succeeding with Zen on CPUs. Offering the kind of steep discount you write about is just bad business.
It’s like having a “What is sorting?” article with bubblesort as the algorithm of focus. It’s easy to explain and answers the question. Yes, time complexity is fundamental to designing algorithms but it’s not something necessary for an introductory article.
That's why you make it multi-track. I grew up in the suburbs of chicago and the rush hour train could take you about 30 miles into downtown in 35 minutes as it just picks you up in the suburbs and then hops over to another track where it can drive the rest of the way without stopping.
Really nice!

If I can suggest:

1) update the browser url so I can share directly, no need for the copy button (I shared it with my team, then the link was wrong, then I went back and found the copy button).

2) maybe cache the result for like 2h? it should be barely 0 cost, but if I refresh or share with someone who clicks immediately it’s almost instant.
One last comment on this, if you have like 5 guys just hacking away on some project and you feel that splitting it up into 30 micro-services is the only way to make things work then you've got problems. I'm not talking about small teams building straightforward systems. I'm talking about giant organizations building giant complicated systems, trying to design and manage that.

Yes, that's why I started out by saying "ignoring prediction".

However, it's perfectly fair to note that you can and should enter phrases all at once as opposed to one character at a time, which would reduce the double pinyin input from 3 keystrokes per character to two per character plus one per "input unit".

What about a fresh college grad vs a high school grad with four more years of problem solving, socialization, and maturity? They comparison you make isn't fair because you aren't giving the high school grad the benefit of added learning they would accumulate in the same time period the college grad was taking courses.
