> This is the bleeding edge; these devices have only been available for 13 weeks [...]

Shouldn't these devices have been tested by AMD and motherboard manufacturers for months before they were released? Including on workloads like Prime95 which are well known to uncover system instabilities.

Keep in mind also that this is not the first time in the Zen/Zen2 history that AMD has shipped buggy products: there was the segfault bug, the random number generator instruction bug, and the unbootable Threadripper on recent (at the time of release) Linux kernel. The worst part, to me personally, is that they were all "surface bugs" that could have been detected by AMD with a little bit of testing.

I've been wondering why Supermicro isn't releasing any Threadripper motherboards (while they do for Xeon-W). Maybe this explains it: the consumer CPU business at AMD is a circus and Supermicro wants none of it?

There's plenty of research about what harm tobacco/smoking does that isn't going to be present in vaping* [1]. There is also intrinsically less evidence on the parts of vaping that are unique to it such as the solvents, the device materials, etc.

It's been a few years since I've really looked at the research in depth but as I recall (smoking) tobacco was just a crazy outlier on the scale of what causes cancer. Part of the issue was the amount people smoked what seems absurd now where even someone who seems like they smoke a lot really only smokes a few a day. And compare that to cannabis consumption and the amount of organic material burned/inhaled per day is just astounding when you look at heavy tobacco smokers.

Also, as far as I've heard, the US's campaign against and problem with teenage vaping is unique and its treated completely differently in Europe/UK.

anti-social behaviour can be anything. A few years back it was homosexual sex. Anti-social behaviour simply means "things that most people disprove" - which includes all kinds of victimless crimes. Even worse, this specific case is not based on "things that most people disprove" but more like "things that this company does not want you to say".

Do you think that a 3rd party should be able to judge and ban you at will for something that you say in a group chat when everyone else in said group chat is fine with it? I presume that the author of the article is not fine with it, which is why they suggest to avoid discord. What would you do in their place?

> The most lethal way tobacco smoking impacts health is through carcinogenic by-products created from metabolizing said tobacco.

Maybe, we're misunderstanding each other. But all those compounds you listed are directly present in smoke itself. I.e. they're not metabolic byproducts.

In fact they're not even related to tobacco specifically. (With the major exception of N-nitrosamine). Cannabis smoke (gram for gram) contains equivalent of higher levels of PAH, benzene, 1,3-butadiene, aldehyde, and aromatic amines.[1] These are all pretty much universal byproducts of burning any type of dried plant material, and the same reason that exposures are similar for wood-burning fireplaces.[2]

> The problem was that the Greeks had got themselves deeply, calamitously into debt.

To be clear then, any 'bailout' of Greece is truly a bailout not of Greece, but their creditors.
> Many commenters here are missing the point. All the measures that were taken against Greece

Your assertion is absurd. No measure was ever taken to "keep the Greek man down". Greek governments spent years running up a monstrous debt and cooking their books to try to falsify the actual state of the country's economy and the state's finances, going to the extent of hiring private consultancy firms to help them commit accounting fraud, and once that time bombs blew in their faces there was no other alternative than to pick up the pieces and sort out the mess. The ECB/IMF/EC gang's role was to simply provide emergency financing to buy Greek government's some time to actually sort their state's mess. It might be politically convenient to fabricate an evil foreign boogieman to distract people from the true causes but the facts speak for themselves, and there is no way around it.
This is what E2E encryption is for. Disseminating code that violates a platform's TOS would surely lead to banning. And cheating in games puts people at an unfair advantage so they'd want to mention it in their TOS.

The question then becomes how to motivate the average gamer to jump onto a different messaging platform.
Sure it does, unless there is a ReasonML native compiler with its own ecosystem now.

I agree, and the point of my previous comment was to agree with you, while also implying one of the benefits of increasing the usage of Brave among non-technophiles.

Blocking these anti-features comes automatically with Brave, no effort or setup. As more of us block this nonsense, whether with extensions or with Brave, the less incentive to write excessive CSS and annoying pop-ups.

The beginner's guide to Linux terminals, tty, pty and shell
Well, quite. But again this is all supplementary information. The car should have a basic idea of the speed limit from a database and it should adjust as appropriate.

Similarly the car should be able to identify road surface conditions and also how much power it's needing to put in to achieve a set speed. If it's identified that traction is being lost over gravel, then it should reduce power.

Equally the autopilot should consider visibility. There are plenty of roads that are national speed limit and you'd be insane to drive at 60 on them due to blind or extremely tight corners.

But with LEDs this seems like massively over-engineering the problem. Why use computer vision when you can potentially broker a deal with the highways agency to get live speed limits on a particular stretch of highway?

>If messages can be sent in plaintext, they will be sent in plaintext.

I don't buy that argument. There's definitely ways to fix this, and the best example right now is Signal.

I use Signal as my SMS app as well. This gives me a single interface for all my messages: For contacts without Signal, messages get exchanged as SMS. But for contacts with Signal, the conversations become end-to-end encrypted automatically. There are UI hints (Signal conversations have padlocks beside messages and a blue send button, vs a grey one) but overall it's seamless and transparent.

This is totally possible with email too: look up if the receiving end has a PGP key published (PKA[1], SKS[2]) and auto-encrypt if they do. It'd be nice if we had an email client that did this.

A couple of observations:

1. To the outside world, a LARPer might be indistinguishable from someone that actually needs perfect opsec. Maybe that LARPer in the coffee shop is Ross Ulbricht.

2. If one day you actually need real encryption, it will help if you've LARPed in the past.
That's not the same thing at all. General relativity makes incredibly precise predictions about very specific phenomena. There have been hundreds of separate natural observational experiments (transit of mercury to gravitational lensing) and plenty of human created ones too (every GPS satellite in orbit).

Global climate science has it even harder than economics as an experimental science - we've got exactly one fully integrated system to observe, and we can't control for any of the variables. We can't re-run the same experiment again. We need to be objective and honest in how we communicate about climate science. Drawing false equivalences just undermines the very real and very urgent discussions we need to be having about climate as a species.

Traditional fusion reactors do produce fast neutron radiation, which, in addition to causing problems like weakening the structure (which can be mitigated with better materials, better engineering, and by replacing subcomponents over time) is able to irradiate U238 into PU239.

Drop a chunk of U238 in/near the fusion reactor somewhere, let it absorb stray neutrons, and you'll soon have some plutonium. That's bad for control of nuclear weapons proliferation, which relies on high-energy neutron sources like breeder reactors being difficult to build and expensive.

Not sure about the radiation profile from this system though.

Jesus, events tied to css-selectors sounds like a recipe for disaster
We recently changed one of our supplier. The previous one allowed us a full read access to their database (400 tables) but the new one insists that we use their SOAP webservices.

So now when someone ask me for some data, I need to code, manually joining objects instead of crafting a quick SQL query and using the export to CSV function.

Dictionaries (C# key value collection) have fast become a staple diet since Linq is way too slow when you try to 'join' hundred of thousands of objects together.

It feels backward (and I'm saying this as a dev, I'm certainly no DBA or SQL expert).
> watching anyone die is hard. no matter what we do, it will probably have a factor in our death.

Then outting long prison sentences on selling cigarettes wouldn't make a difference, either. It's always hard to watch someone die, anyway. If you make sweet love to them, put them in prison, or just walk by them on the street without looking up, it will probably have a factor in their death.
Completely unaffiliated with any of the parties involved but recently familiar with both Heap and Segment:

Segment (and presumably this solution) is more like an event mux/demux. All your disparate event sources connect in, and you send the data to places like Heap to visualize it. Segment's value is acting as a central, common location for your event data.

Heap's primary value is visualization/analysis for things like retention/etc. You can collect data directly through Heap as well but I wouldn't say that's the primary value of it.
If that were the case, the politician would have to be able to explain that to the electorate and convince them of it. If they can't, then that decision should not be taken.

That's what democracy should mean - we don't elect representatives so that they can take decisions we don't want but that they think are good for us. We elect representatives because direct democracy doesn't scale.

That's not what my testing has shown in practice. Memory use drops dramatically in the conversion from canvas to blob when the browser compresses the render buffer to JPG/PNG under the hood. GPU usage seems to drop in the browsers I had under performance tools, but it subtle enough it could be just margin of error (as memory pressure was my bigger issue, that wasn't something I was keeping that good of an eye on).

But yes the biggest performance gains aren't in pure, static IMG tag usage scenarios, the biggest performance gains I saw were in combo with CSS animations, and that was something important to what I was studying. As Blurhases are useful loading states this seems a common use case to me of having a Blurhash shown/involved in things like navigation transitions, and it seems pretty clear browsers have a lot more tricks for optimizing static images involved in CSS Animations than they do for canvas surfaces.

I was looking for a way to better amortize or skip the initial render as well. It should be possible to take the TypedArray `decode` buffer and directly construct a Blob from it, but I couldn't find a MIME Type that matched the Bitmap format Blurhash produces (and Canvas setImageData reads) in the time I've had to poke at the project so far. As I mentioned, memory pressure was a performance concern in my testing, so I'd also be curious about the performance trade-off of paying for an initial canvas render and getting what seems to be a "nearly free" compression to JPG or PNG from the GPU in converting that to blob, versus using a larger bitmap blob but no canvas render step.

> I’ve been doing this for a long time, thanks. It’s definitely worth a few thousand dollars per year to me. That’s less than 1% of my income. Just because it’s not worth it for you means little.

Well, I'll just quote that so you can't change it, and people can decide for themselves whether they think paying thousands of dollars for snacks is a rational decision.

Irrational decisions you've been making for a long time are still irrational decisions. Irrational decisions you make with 1% of your income are still irrational decisions.

If you're saying that leaving behind massive amounts of money in exchange for cheap snacks is something you just inherently like, I guess that's not irrational, but that's a pretty unusual thing to like. But follow your heart!
It's not clear and you are not correct in this case – at least per the actual behavior, and I assume the intent of the manual (but of course we can argue about whether the item is well-written).

The list given in that item is "or", i.e., if any of those conditions apply, you get the slow lea. The prose isn't giving additional conditions, it is just summarizing the list (although I can determine that not by careful parsing of the prose but rather because it's the only way the thing makes sense).
See, but you even say, the best possible outcome would be full transparency, but you know that wouldn't happen. And that is the problem. Ohhh Germany/France/Portugal/Greece or Lithuania (doesn't matter) doesn't want their voters to know what they are fighting for, so they will never be open about it. How is that democracy? How is it possible to vote for any party anywhere when they just tell the average joe 'yes, your pension will be cut 15%, and your kids pay more in taxes, but trust me, I did the best I could, you should be thankful'. Is this democracy?????
