Could you describe what makes the Google Fibers so nice?

I'm also really curious why they require modifications to the Linux kernel. My first guess would be stronger integration with the IO model at the syscall boundary (similar to io_uring).

Yep, but now you have a video window with a fixed window title, regardless of Tab, which makes it infinitely easier to programming window rules for.

Viability due to public opinion is a reason. I think that NASA has been successful enough in popularizing the ideals of not interfering with the potential biospheres (or lacks of biosphere) of other planets, 'Planetary Protection', that any plan for 'aggressive remote terraforming' would be met with public outcry, for the sake of preserving areological history.

The passage outright states that Jesus was the Messiah, which means it is obviously a forgery - Josephus wouldn't have written that since he wasn't a Christian. But the question is how much of the passage that have been altered.

> it makes for boring reading

I didn't find this readers interpretation of the author's behavior to be boring. I can see how she may come across as being overly combative (though I agree with her goal).

Your frequent comments about what you find to be 'boring' is boring.
The Starliner is for low-Earth orbit and is not part of the Artemis architecture for going to the Moon.
Landfill space isn't a problem though. And pulp is also renewable.

Also, people don't realize it, but whatever gets flushed ends up in a landfill as well, in the form of wastewater sludge. In what ends up being a volume not all that less than a wrapped up diaper. So you're not avoiding landfill use.

>almost everyone would say that the former is the better option.

Who? Not environmental or sustainability engineers.

Again, if cloth works for you, use it. There are plenty of good reasons to. It's just the environment isn't one of them.

> I'm starting to think the latency from the video encoding/decoding could be a bigger issue than the network itself.

It depends on the setup but encoding and decoding combined can be done in less than 7 ms (1 frame at 144 fps) on good hardware:

Last year on more modest hardware I would regularly see around 12 ms (1 frame at 83 fps).

a == p will also resolve to true. So will c == p. a and b don't add anything to your example; they're just in there to make c and p look like they're more different than they are.

$ cat zero.c
#include "stdio.h"

int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
char nul = 0;
void* null = 0;

if( nul == null ) {
printf("compared char to pointer; they are the same\n");
} else {
printf("found a difference between char and pointer\n");
}
return 0;
}

$ gcc -o zero zero.c
zero.c: In function ‘main’:
zero.c:7:10: warning: comparison between pointer and integer
if( nul == null ) {
^~
$ ./zero
compared char to pointer; they are the same
$

You get a warning, but not an error, for making the comparison. By contrast, assigning the integer zero to a void* isn't even a warning -- it's just a natural thing to do. There isn't another way to set a pointer to NULL. There is another way to set a character to 0, the '\0' syntax, but that's not a warning either.

C will think nothing of adding '!' to 'P' and getting 'q'. That's not strange because addition is a pretty normal thing to do with integers. You're right that a char variable should only occupy 8 bits of memory, but that's an implementation artifact, not a theory of what the value '\0' means. That value is unambiguously the integer zero with infinite precision. The reason it only occupies 8 bits is that you can't let it have infinite bits.

To avoid having a centralized database altogether and just have clients store their own data on their own machines.

The reasons why I'm interested in that are:

1) security and privacy (much harder to steal data that's not centralized in one place, and I'll be able to sleep better at night knowing I don't have sensitive data on my hands)

2) code maintainability. I'm not impressed with what happens behind the scenes with relational databases out there and I think it stems from tackling the problem at the wrong layer of abstraction. basically relational databases nowadays aren't really just databases, they're also ways for many, many users, even millions sometimes, to reach consensus about what the current state of the data is. and to throttle alllll those data changes from all those users through one current state (the database) is just wrong imo. really, every user should have their own state of the data, and whenever one user makes a change to their data, that change can be communicated across the network. i.e. a p2p database. this i think decouples storing and manipulating data from communicating data changes.

The magic is in telling the difference.

Actually, when you buy a share of a company in the US, unless you're getting a physical stock certificate (which no one does), the registration isn't even assigned to you. It's assigned to the Depository Trust Company. You as an individual are then several layers of indirection removed from that.

Hmm. Probably true. What about c == p? I don't recall whether both will promote to numeric, or whether it's a type error.

For that matter, what does (uncasted) p = c do? How about c = p?

I think the root of disagreement here is that to you, as a pilot, "speed" means airspeed. But to a layperson, "speed" means groundspeed. So saying that an airplane with a tailwind "must go faster to keep enough air going over the wings" reads very strangely to you, as (although it is technically correct) it belies a groundspeed-first type of thinking that is a poor intuition for staying alive in a plane.

My experience with gel ink pens is that they're incredibly smooth to write with but that you go through refills a lot more often than with ballpoint or rollerballs.

I've settled on a Retro 51 Tornado. Nice price when I've bought them and they take a lot of different refills.
My main complaint is that subtitles don't work with it (on Netflix, at least).

You don't have to use it. For me, it works when I'm trying to dual task on a single monitor. For example, I use it regularly on my smartphone (with a native video player).

As for the example you mentioned: the issue is autoplay. Netflix just rolled out an update when they allow you to disable that non-feature.

It's great to see all these new features entering the kernel. Here are a couple of other things I've seen in recent changelogs:

- The 5.4 kernel can use CIFS as a root filesystem, meaning CIFS can replace NFS for diskless boot.

- The 5.3 and 5.4 kernels both include prep for merging PREEMPT_RT into mainline. This will be a fantastic addition that benefits embedded Linux nerds like me.

@dang likes Overton manipulation via pretending to address decorum — a common social control tactic.

In this case, the person broke the unspoken rule of being critical of a community member @dang personally likes, so we get a grumpy mod post discussing the decorum, but really signaling that some people in the community can’t be criticized.
I don't understand the writing style. The situations seem to be made up with a level of detail that lacks any real technical depth. The whole story could have been summed up into a single paragraph and would have been equally as informative and enjoyable.

> Would it not be better if those domains were used for a genuine purpose?

I own (as many others do) a vacation home. Wouldn't it be better if that home was used by someone who was homeless and needed a place to live? Why should I have enough money to keep a home empty? (Why? Because you earn money and then you can buy things that others can't, that's why it's capitalism and the way it is here).

And who is talking about .eu anyway? I am not and the domain in question is not a .eu domain either.

With .com the only thing that you can't do is very carefully defined by the UDRP process and there is further an entire industry devoted (like there is with real estate) to buying and selling domains that don't run afoul of those rules.

You are barking up the wrong tree here honestly starting with the feeling you have that the wrong thing is happening here. It's not.

And 'DNS' was not 'made to serve society' and even if it was (by some stretch) that would not prevent something else that is lawful or legitimate from happening with a registered domain name.

NASA's best bet is to bite the bullet, scrap the SLS already, and help pay for SpaceX's development.

SpaceX has a publicly announced rocket design that is capable of getting men to the Moon and back. They are working on it for themselves. They are looking for every source of funding that they can get. They already are planning suborbital flights this summer, and already are looking for it to be human rated by NASA.

Their announced timeline (which is probably ambitious but that is par for the course) includes suborbital flights this summer, aiming for orbit by 2020, going around the moon in 2022, going around the Moon with a human inside by 2023, and humans on the moon for 2024. They have a record of being ambitious, but also a record of launches. And nobody on the planet in recent years has developed more successful rockets or had more successful rockets than SpaceX. More impressively, nobody has done it so cheaply.

So...why isn't Trump talking to Elon Musk yet?

For what it's worth, I think it's ok for those comments to be boring.

The root comment has been hidden, and the mod (who probably hid it) has replied to it stating why it was hidden.

That we can see moderation is a good thing; that moderation is 'boring' is to be expected.
"Safe as can be" is completely subjective, maybe in 1000 years it will be 100% safe due new technological advances and improvements in simulations, so "as safe as can be" is likely to be way after we are no longer alive.

I am currently working on my master's thesis on the topic of applying this type of knowledge to build a reinforcement learning system with spiking neural networks. The role of dopamine is crucial in learning.

By combining spike-timing-dependent plasticity (STDP) with the reward (R-STDP), it is possible to address the spatial eligibility trace (which synapse caused the reward?). However, the design of the reward/utility function is one core issue, where this paper probably advances the field. I am currently looking into ways to balance the reward. Without balancing each trial causes more long term depression than long term potentiation, so that after a while the end the network dies. A different reward function results in the opposite.
Another issue is the distal reward problem: Which event correspondents to which activity?
I would be very glad to discuss related questions or exchange ideas with other experts or newcomers to this growing field. My mail is in my profile.

This paper also got me thinking if this mechanism might explain why we enjoy listening to music. Music follows and breaks rules, which our brain continuously tries to predict and most of the time it succeeds.
I agree that it's not taking advantage of Microsoft, but it's not because of the dollar amounts involved. If I do a fake refund scam to the tune of $20 on Amazon (which is a ~$1T company), that's still "taking advantage" of them. It doesn't matter that it's peanuts compared to their market cap, I'm still doing something wrong.

And as an aside, your stated market cap for Microsoft is off by more than a trillion dollars.

That sounds more like xmonad isn’t honouring WM hints properly? Might be handy but is that a ‘failing’ of mainstream window managers?
I don't have a great answer for you. Usually they just hear about us or (less often) read about us.

We do have a bit of previous so it's possible people know about us from things we've done before (though to be clear it's nothing super crazy). And while we don't spend much time with VCs, if we can possibly help it, we do spend a bunch of time with other founders, many of whom are VC funded.
Even in evolving environments, it's important to have terminology that describes what is acceptable and what is not in clear terms.

Writing precise language is hard, but ambiguity of language is worse, since it can lead to potentially unsafe interpretation.

The Frankenstein Veto makes it possible for state Governors to alter the meaning 'near runtime' - certainly post-review - and accidentally or intentionally create loopholes which enable damaging outcomes.
XMonad's[0] default behaviour of being able to separately tell a program to go "fullscreen" (i.e. hide most UI) and control what portion of the screen its window takes up is extremely valuable, since many programs don't give you the option of separately hiding their UI, and it's only possible by making them go fullscreen. However, being able to hide the UI is actually most valuable when there is more than one window on the screen... This is especially important when you have a small (or average-sized) screen, but it's also useful on larger ones to avoid distractions.

Getting the "normal" fullscreen is just two keyboard shortcuts away ("fullscreen" the program and assign its window the entire screen), rather than one. From an intuitiveness point of view, being able to hide a program's UI and change its window size separately is arguably more intuitive — according to the separation of concerns, the former is managed by the program itself and the latter by the WM.

PiP is really nice, but videos aren't the content for which getting a distraction-free experience is most important...
