I used to work in payment team of Grab, one of the biggest hailing ride app in SouthestAsia. Now I am living in Melbourne, Australia. I have more than 9 years of professional working experience, including 5 years working in backend distributed system.
The Capitalized type are not the good type...
AFAIK, GPU 1 writes directly to GPU 2 via PCIe.

Since GPU 2 is most often an Intel iGPU, that happens to also be CPU RAM.
Well, "almost every" and by "seen" I mean in environments that I've had to support, in corporate and academic land.

Perhaps I've just had bad luck, but my impression is that getting this right, both internally and in the field, is a lot harder than it looks. And when it breaks, it can be a real s___show compared to the simple, non-HA version.
Weren't they also supported by the Abit BP6 motherboard, letting you use two of them as poorer man's Xeons?
I don't know that any country's media gives a balanced perspective of another country. They just cover the stories that are interesting enough to repeat in their own country. "most people are doing just fine over here" is generally not such a story.
I think there's a point in rjeli's and skrebbel's comments though. This wasn't designed in from the get go; it started as a hack that got papered over with abstractions and accepted as a standard practice. Despite later improvements, the whole thing still has the aftertaste of a clever hack.

Using a modern example, the way template metaprogramming started feels like return-oriented programming, or those "MOV is Turing-complete" or "MPU error handling is Turing-complete tricks". Someone figured out the standard unintentionally lets you make a conforming compiler do computations, and it ended up becoming an accepted feature, instead of updating the language to something resembling modern constexprs, or Common Lisp's compiler macros.
Interesting how you managed to mention that the fourth crusade is somehow stopping us from doing this, instead of today's reality of the church being a mosque and Muslim clerics forbidding any Christian liturgies inside of it.
The LED and snow issue is about traffic lights, which are horizontal and therefore subject to getting filled with blowing snow.

Streetlights face down and don't have a cavity to fill with snow.
What is this "well-designed infrastructure" of which you speak? ;-)
Was somewhat curious as to why a credit agency would want to track peoples commutes, though I can see the perspective as to why, it does feel like a solution that fits around privacy upto the point that it works and then becomes part of the privacy debate itself.

Though my main train of thought would be - if you sprain an ankle, hand, get a new larger phone etc - this would just compound your bad experiences in life. Though they do say trouble comes in threes, it's not something we should be enforcing by creating issues that would compound such common `edge cases`.

> A PDF isn’t for storage it’s for display. It’s the equivalent of a printout.

This conjecture would have some practical relevance if I had access to the same papers in other formats, preferably HTML. Yet I'm saddened time and again to find that I don't.

In fact, producing HTML or PDF from the same source was exactly my proposed route before I was told that apparently Tex is only good for printing or PDFs. I hope that this is false, but not in a position to argue currently.
> Perhaps they made a profit on it even though it's now worthless.

Not a profit on 388 million, unless you use that magical "big business/hollywood" mechanic of attributing revenue to things that happened alongside the actual sale. You saw 1 ad for a tv and bought a tv? That's a 600$ attribution to that ad campaign!
There's GridCoin, as well, which utilizes BOINC for work units.
1. How do you select your sources? *edit grammar

2. How do you decide whether to label a source as left, or moderately left? What is the political spectrum?

A. What would you assign brietbart news?
B. Why wouldn’t you give new york times a “objective” tag?
(That’s what they claim to be. /s)

I think new york times is as far left as vox. Your website seems to paint them as moderately left.
Anki is no longer making robots.
the hardware profile is listed in each row, also, the guy is totally meticulous!
But now I have to know presets, and if my presets are lost also commands.
I don't think the corruption and bureaucratic incompetency in today's United States lessens the story about that in China. At least we're allowed to talk about it.
If they were smart, they'd just quietly switch to bitcoin mining units.
Did that use Microsoft API though? It might have been possible to hack your own library to do the same thing as I'm pretty sure there were are Win32 APIs to read and write pixels outside of your form -- albeit performance almost certainly wouldn't be on a par doing it that way.

(I say "pretty sure" because I once wrong a program to create a second mouse cursor but which was controlled via a game controller. The logic being I could multi-task my GUI operations. Obviously the logic was flawed and that application proved dumb but it was a fun development exercise none-the-less. Anyhow, I think I drew the cursor directly to screen by reading and writing pixels using some Win32 API; but I'm not super confident of that memory).
Hopefully universities will remove in person attendance requirements and make it possible to get degrees online / from home. Classes with 200 people sitting together can’t be good with communicable diseases around.
Right now, if I want to schedule a meeting with London, I have two steps: figure out a good time for me, check if it's reasonable in London, adjust if necessary.

If London was in the same time zone, I'd have to ascertain, somehow, what 0800 actually means in terms of the workday, and multiply that across every time zone I have to confer with (and there are a lot).

No thanks. I like knowing that 5 pm means more-or-less the same thing everywhere except Western China, which happily enough doesn't really come up in my day-to-day life.
Ah the fabled durito.

It does make you wonder if it's not just moths attracted to strange lights at night.

Seems like none of these are political ads? Anyone can say any of this and be fine from political ad scrutiny it seems.
Gait detection for payment is some ableist bullshit.

Sprain an ankle? Walk on it, because you can't use the subway. Tear some ligament in your knee? No bus for you. Pull a muscle in your lower back? Sorry, Quasimodo, you're out of luck. Sciatica? Stop trying to steal services, you fraud!

At the least, these systems have to be backed by some other system that would need to be kept in place. So maybe just use that for everyone.
‘The bioeconomy will revitalize the Midwest’
Because the more that you can offload onto the database means less people re-inventing from first principles every time they need to do something (and potentially making correctness mistakes).

Additionally, if I have my data in an actual database, I can attach tools like Tableau and Superset directly, as opposed to having to take it from storage and then put it in a database anyway before being able to visualise/use it.
I like how your demo is clear and also in Linux! Surprising.

The page is clear and easy to understand, looks good. Well done.
Would depend on the insurance policy. Probably no coverage for sxsw straight up cancelling without government requirement.
I work in the domain of these wicked problems, and they usually reduce to Taleb's no "skin in the game." The necessary condition for one is that someone has power from some exogenous source, but without accountability.

You can in fact identify wicked problems as an epi-phenomenon of the strategies of the players, who give away their intent in early rounds. The only solutions are an equilibrium of interests.

It's a condition of bureaucracies, politics, and anything outside markets and hierarchies where you can resolve things with a clear price or authority. They are a peculiar game form that has no winners.
I suspect a conspiracy. Involving bees and secret Arctic greenhouses...
The blog posts don't really address what integration managers are (other than stating they are "the mechanism for adding hosted bots/bridges/widgets into rooms") only identity service (which I just learned about, though)

Dimension's description lists: "giving users a way to add bridges, bots, and widgets to their rooms and account"

I can understand widgets (they are iframes to a webpage served by the integration manager, right?), but mentioning bridges and bots confuse me.

My understanding is that bridges (aka. appservices, if I'm understanding this correctly) connect directly to a homeserver.

On IRC, bots connect as any other client to the server. Is this not true on Matrix? (ie. do bots use different APIs/protocols than "user agents"?)

Or are integration managers in charge of running bridge and bot processes, like an init daemon?

EDIT: I just chatted with someone else, and she tells me integration managers provide clients with a list of what bridges and "official" bots are available. And, I assume, links to enable them for a given room. Is that correct?

I thoroughly enjoyed both the blog post (as an accessible but thorough explanation of your experience with PDF data extraction) and the linked news article [0] as an all-too-familiar story of a company realizing that a creative person is using their freely-available data in novel and exciting ways and immediately requesting that they shut it down, because faced with the perceived dichotomy of maintaining control versus encouraging progress they will often play on the safe side.

agreed - I think the title should be updated to call out the "app" shuts down.
Did SETI@home accomplish anything useful with its 21 years of computing? Outside of the general "it's always good to do science, even with negative results" which I agree with.

I ran a large cluster of university machines surreptitiously for this project many years ago.
Physical things tend to not yield to abstractions as much. While people talk about how difficult software debugging is when the illusion of a high level abstraction is broken, still it's more of an exception.

But that itself doesn't make it a wicked problem. It means the solution needs to involve broadening the scope of your operations. In case of AIDS, it would be an international cooperation.

A real-life example is the efforts to eradicate smallpox and polio; the first one succeeded, the second one was almost done but hit some serious problems with international cooperation - regardless, this demonstrates the problem, while hard, isn't wicked.
Go to an island and hope the power goes out. I was on Cayman Brac (a tiny Caribbean island) during a power outage, and even though there was a full moon, the view was amazing. Then there was a lunar eclipse that I hadn't even known about in advance. Most amazing sky I've ever seen.
31-Bit Computing
When talking about basic income I noticed a pattern where people who didn't like the idea would drop off the same comments seen 100 years ago then leave. You could bother answer the query but they didn't read it and a new comment would appear repeating the same statement.

It gave me an idea for a discussion platform. For example politics, each candidate delivers their election program AND a list of multiple choice questions for users to answer. The questions are reviewed for sanity.

THEN when someone writes a comment about candidate X we display under their post if they completed the test for X or not. (with 100% score) Other users can then see the person doesn't know what he is talking about. :-)
"Really Intel and AMD are being dishonest by publishing benchmarks that don't match reality"

People can discard with the various SPEC* benchmarks as unrealistic -- they generally are -- but this is a bridge way too far.

The whole point of the SPEC* benchmarks is that you bring out the best of the best and do everything you can to achieve the pinnacle of performance.

And those SPEC* benchmarks are most interesting, and most applicable, to HPC users, who actually do use hardware-specific compilers. Of course another person mentioned that "everything is on GPUs now" (it isn't): If it's on a GPU, then you don't need a 60 core CPU. If it's on a GPU, then SPEC* benchmarks aren't relevant.
Server meaning my own matrix server?

How much power is needed to comfortably join a massive room?

Is it just the initial sync load or is there constant heavy load for massive rooms?

Either the compositor application has to do it, or it has to delegate it to a trusted application.

So yeah, deep philosophical problems. If you wanted Wayland to work exactly like X11 it won't because that is explicitly against its security design.
Ive been writing almost every day for many years. My secret was to use Bash and write a few scripts to make it very easy to jot down thoughts.

I also added a vim command to push it to github while editing. These just remove barriers to opening and syncing the file, but the concept is the same.

You can see the result here: https://github.com/jodavaho/bashlog

The result is a treasure trove of greppable data. Someday I was to apply some sentiment analysis ...
I wonder how much $/co2 of power was spent during the lifetime of the project.
Yes, the setup was that the school implemented gait detection for students.
The duron had a pencil trick which unlocked it somehow. I don't remember the details.
By size:

python -c 'import os; \
os.write(1, b"\0".join( \
sorted(os.listdir(b"."), key=lambda p: os.stat(p).st_size)))' \
| xargs -0 ...

By date: swap st_size for st_mtime.

(Python3 does try to make this hard on us — Unix path names are just bags of bytes, but Python insists that printing must have some known encoding. I get around that by abusing os.write(1, ...) and by adding the dummy b"." argument to os.listdir(), which forces the results to be in bytes format.)
The LibGUI you've created looks to be a really nice and capable widget toolkit :)

Any plans to port it to other platforms (eg OpenGL so it becomes very cross platform) so it can be used outside Serenity?
>There’s loads of value in these new biometrics if they turn out to work well.

And terrible consequences if it is used badly, AND IT WILL BE USED BADLY.

Basically is the barcode tatoo of the Nazis. Something that serves to identify you when they want(on the street, bus station, even using telescopes or 500 Megapixel aerial cameras) without you giving your consent, all the time, but automated with computers.

I have actually worked on systems like that, IKEA for example tracks their customers with cameras, and it is extremely creepy.

I am from Spain and I was drinking moderate alcohol since I was 11 years old, like wine and Cider on the table with my parents. not a big deal.

Most of my friends did the same and none of them is alcoholic. On the contrary, we did not need to get drunk in order to feel adult, like all the UK, french, American and german kids(18-22 years old) drinking and fucking in Magalluz like there is no tomorrow because they were repressed all their lives.

Your comment portray two main ideas:
1.This is good because "Think of the children".

2.All the problems are technical.

Idea number 1 is consequence of a puritan idea of the world, that is debatable.

Idea number 2 is the CSI idea, totally wrong. Having worked in security, most security problems are not hackers cracking codes from their computers, but social engineering.

Things that happened to us: The boss of a company telling us to improve the security of the company, then this boss using sticky notes with the passwords. Someone telling his-her lover. Prostitutes being hired as spys. Bad people disguised in order to access the system. People on payroll coming from bad guys giving access.

In the real world, most problems are not technical. If a kid wants access pornography or alcohol, he will find a way. Like drugs, if demand exist, supply will appear.

I don't like what comes out because it invariably becomes a litany of complaints.
Since you can always print a PDF to a bitmap and use OCR, I assume you're implicitly asking for something that does substantially better. How much better, and why?

>Do you have any theories as to why more companies don't choose KiCAD or other open tool in lieu of Altium? It seems to me there is a lot KiCAD can do, and there's very little Altium does that KiCAD does not. Do you choose to support KiCAD with the thought that the market will eventually move to free tools like that?

I have two things to say about this;

First to answer your question precisely, that wasn't my theory. We supported KiCAD because it is most popular in community. We figured this based on user surveys and feedbacks while being in private beta. Though KiCAD is my personal favorite tool for ECAD designs as it gives me freedom to code tools for myself with its programmable utilities (that wasn't the criteria for choice). They two main goals of InventHub are to empower open-hardware community and help small startups build hardware products fast so we see more innovative hardware products coming out everyday.

Yes I agree the money is at Altium as all big companies use it and we are definitely working on to add support for Altium because that will help us sustain so we can empower the open-hardware community.

Second thing: My personal theory is that world is a better place when we work together. I truly believe in community and DIY GEEKS or InventHub both were started on the idea to build and empower the community. I have a hope that open source will be commercially viable soon and will get bigger than enterprises(Just the things I keep on thinking about: how will we moderate the infrastructure for security) - Well I can keep on talking about this, but I guess its a conversation for another thread.
Hahah, I can relate so much with the 'poorerer' part, I'll raise you another one: my first '686' was a Cyrix 6x86 because those were the cheapest you could get. Eventually got my hands on a Pentium II and had to scavenge parts to replace my setup.

Good times. Nowadays I just buy a laptop with everything soldered on it and complain a lot if I have to reboot it every month.
Wow, I'm surprised I hadn't found this before. I was looking for something exactly like this at some point in the past 6 months and didn't find much, so thanks for sharing this!
Type systems are 0.1% what I'm talking about. There's WAY more to a function contract that its type. For example, consider the function `round(x)`. Does it round toward infinity, toward negative infinity, toward zero, bank rounding, etc? There's one easy way to find out: Read the documentation of the function. Programmers who don't do this will find programming "hard" because everything they do will eventually break and crumble. Working with programmers who make assumptions without finding proof in documentation will give your project so much technical debt, you might as well redo their work yourself.
"D3 seems to hold its position very well"

Just look how long Processing held its position. People are still using it with P5 on the web, but I think it makes a bad figure compared to D3.
If a country does any no-adjustment approach nationwide,
people may want a single common day of the month to do daylight
sensitive schedule adjustments, such as outdoor sports practices.

I propose overnight on the first Sunday of a month. For example,
the week before, in spring (Northern hemisphere) soccer (or whatever activity) practice
is at 16:00, the week after at 16:30 or 17:00 or whatever.
In fall, the reverse, but the schedules all change on the same day.
(Outliers will happen - this is a 90:10 suggestion, not 100:0.)

Think of all the families with 2 or 3 kids who
have 2, 3, or 4 different activities each week, all at different times.
Do we really want their schedules to potentially change in every week
of the month? Yes, super-soccer mom or dad could cope, but why not
try to keep it simpler?
Yes, exactly. The social graph they couldn’t acquire organically by having the better product.
it's always moved slow on purpose... one of the language's greatest features is backwards compatibility and stability

it's purposefully dead simple. this is why many of us switched to alternative JVM langs ... Java can't keep up with the innovation other Langs have without breaking its philosophy of slowmoving/backwards compat
Who cares about the new features? The new license makes it almost impossible to use Java without some form of payment to Oracle.
Ah, good memories of being temporarily banned in the EE labs at UT Austin for running set@home on a bunch of the unix boxes. Must have been around 2000.
Indeed, that's exactly how we used to talk about it: if you can just postulate some initial asymmetry, the question to answer is why it's small.

We don't think this way anymore because we're fairly sure inflation occurred, and its exponential expansion rapidly dilutes away any initial asymmetry. So we need a way to generate asymmetry after inflation ends.
How does LibreOffice include the entire document with the PDF?

Is there a special "data" section of the PDF that includes this?
Can you point me to any documentation regarding this? It sounds quite good TBH.
One of the big issues is there is a heap of legacy cruft in the existing X Stack which makes trying to fix/enhance X difficult. From what I understand the way it is written not easy to cleanly depreciate certain features like you've suggested.

So I can totally see the appeal for a clean break from having to maintain strict backwards compatibility with a stack that has its roots in the 1980's.
