Huge die doesn't really matter if you have the ability to suffer defects on it and still turn out a quality product.

If they put 100 cores on every die but only activate 80 of them then that means they can tolerate absolutely HORRIBLE per-processor yields and still make chips that work. Their yields could actually be BETTER than with chiplets because they can afford so many problems.

Not saying that this is true, BTW, just that it's theoretically and practically possible.
But why are some GNOME fans get irritated and irrationally in this case complain about the fact that some developers are more capable of supporting more settings. Why you as a user are bothered that application X has options for people more capable then you of using them.

I am a developer and I understand the part of more coptions and more code paths means more things to test, but with robust code it is not a big deal. Imagine the wallpaper would be hard coded because the developers are lazzy and won't test with a different wallpaper. As a person with dsabilities I contributed a few patches and it would suck to have them rejected because I would need to bring a proof that there is a majority of users that need those things addressed.

Anyway i was not complaining about GNOME removing options or hidding them but complaining that some insecure person for some reason had to complain about KDE into a topic about Wayland support.
“Globally, about 3.4% of reported COVID-19 cases have died,” WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said during a press briefing at the agency’s headquarters in Geneva.

It seems likely that the number of reported cases grossly underestimates the number of actual cases though, given that many of the infected have fairly mild symptoms. Which would translate into a lower actual mortality rate.
It's a clear indication from the community that you're overdoing the promotional links. The fact that you haven't really been participating in any other way accentuates that impression. Readers check these things.
Of course all other things are not equal. Eg. Political capital required for deployment is not equal. Economics of scale is not equal. Cost per MW is not equal. Distribution of power is not equal. The things you have said are not equal. I think you missed the point of the "if".
This is a great space to be working on - I've wanted tools like this as a HW engineer for a long time. Enabling remote work as an EE seems like a powerful advantage to grant to EE contractors.

Another business I've seen pop up in this space who appears to compete with you is Allspice - they're my neighbors here in Massachusetts. What do you do that they don't?

I was thinking in the context of SARS-CoV-2, in a world where data collectors were trustworthy, it would be useful to be able to track the movements of people. We already carry homing beacons, and technologically there's nothing restricting our phones to record their locations.

So a scenario where if someone is sick, everyone who was near them in the last 3-4 days could be notified. Or this traceback could also find the person who infected them and where they did it. Just to make it more accurate, the phones could also be able to scan (e.g. with Bluetooth) which devices are nearby, at any time.

It would be technologically awesome, but obviously it's not something I want in the hands of the authorities of today's world.

Depends on the strategy.

Buying out of the money options is a lottery ticket, where you pay a relatively small premium with the chance of a large payout if the underlying moves favorably or volatility increases. Your potential loss is limited to the premium you paid for the contract.

In the case of Boeing, you're not guaranteed to profit when owning puts even if the stock drops if time decay (theta) saps your premium at a rate faster than the change in underlying price relative to the strike of your option (delta), or if volatility decreased rapidly after the initial reaction to the news (vega).

Selling naked options allows you to collect the premium up front but exposes you to the risk of huge losses, in fact unlimited losses when selling calls.

Credit spread trading [0] also allows you to collect premium up front, but your risk is defined as you buy a cheaper option to hedge the naked position you created by selling the short option. The compromise is that your maximum profit is capped. This is akin to selling someone an insurance policy, with the stock as the underlying asset being insured. If you were bearish on Boeing and didn't expect it to rebound anytime soon, selling a call credit spread would be a good strategy to profit from your sentiment without taking on too much risk.

IMDb is owned by Amazon (from Apr 1998), which explains the lack of concern about quality user reviews.

I read a (just okay) near-future cyber dystopia novel called "Little Brother" once. It had this interesting segment where gait recognition was being used to track people instead of facial recognition because it was more reliable (I'm not sure whether this is true in reality, but regardless).

Anyway. The main character had an easy way of breaking it: toss some gravel in one of your shoes. It'll disrupt your natural walking pattern in a randomized way without you having to even think about it.

> Languages like Rust that don't even know null (or nil as in Go), have finally solved the problem.

I'm in no way a Rust expert, but I see a lot of code with Optionals, something like

match sth {
Some(v) => do_something
None => nothing_to_do
}

This looks awfully a lot like

if (something == null) {
nothing_to_do
} else {
do_something
}

It might look more pleasant, but it doesn't "solve" anything, only shifts it in a different place.

Go is in the middle, because structs have no null value, only a zero value; the only thing that can be nil are pointers which I personally feel should used as little as possible.
After reading most replies and checking out links I have now way more insight on this.

Thank you all.

I agree with everyone who said that a good system is just the act of writing down by hand, and how it helps you comprehend, verbalize, and interiorize. I have done this up until now, and it works for me, and as most said I also never had to/could re-read these kind of notes.

That being said, I want to mention My objective - something I left out of the original question, and as @gdubs reminded me, is quite important.

Although taking the kind of notes i mentioned above worked, this semester I want to attempt writing notes that if shared could theoretically help colleagues of mine out. I want to develop a note taking system that I could maintain for a semester, very honestly, because I want to experiment a radically different approach from what I've been doing until now, mostly for the sake of experimentation.

What most resonated with me from what I read, what I've concluded meanwhile, and i'm going to attempt the next months is
- Reviewing my notes everyday, and possibly writing a "conclusion/summary"
- Using pen and paper during classes, and transcribing to the computer after college
- Create my own system - (I really enjoyed reading about Niklas Luhmann's System)
- Sticking to this system for some time

And then i'll probably publish the workflow I ended up developing, along with the ideas i currently have on this turned into an actual project.

Thanks again.

The fact that a problem is a wicked problem does not justify inaction, in my opinion.

I’ve had (stupid) friends argue that because income inequality is a wicked problem, we should do away with a social safety net for the poor.

Obviously we can’t this issue 100 per cent, but the difference in trying to solve it is better quality of life, lessened crime, happier populace, more people ready for work, and lower mortality rate.

It’s great to identify something as a Wicked problem, but that should never stop you from attempting to solving it.
We're working on a number of fun problems like this over at PDFTron in Vancouver! Currently growing and looking for software devs in a few different areas. ltully(at)pdftron.com
I would argue the discoverability of a man page is equal to the discoverability of a gui, when both are well designed.

You don't read a man page top to bottom, you skim and skip around, discovering the information you need.
Stand up. Take a big stretch. Do something besides the internet for a few hours and then think about what you’re typing.
Ah yeah, that's exactly where I got the above photo from. The purple glow is ridiculous! At least the yellow is a little less "abrasive" and more natural-looking.

each D3 project is an entire application of its own

adding the “simple pie chart” to your view is not simple at all.

It needs independent UX planning, system architecture planning, and multiple sprints to implement

All the example code and prebuilt charts are outdated due to using old versions of D3 or other dependencies and essentially have to be rebuilt from scratch
>Personally, the one real gain I've read about previously is no tearing when watching videos or scrolling fast and security improvements.

Finally, my Ubuntu box has screen tearing all the time. I'm on good hardware with pretty standard 1080p monitors so I've been absolutely baffled that screen tearing is so frequent in standard desktop use.

I think Wayland is supposed to have better support for various DPI settings and mixed DPI settings.
D3 does the Right Thing with respect to dataviz.

That means: it's conceptually overloaded for doing quick-and-dirty conventional charts, where you just want to plug in a few parameters and have it "just work" - but excellent once you need to customize and make it work with your specific requirements.

That it has the concepts, and a clear notion of them, is the critical difference. Most libraries, most of the time, don't add new concepts, they just have a premade black box of features and functions. Sometimes you want a premade black box, but often you want to open up the box shortly afterwards, and that creates the inevitable trend towards either remaking it as your own box, or being one of hundreds of people who gradually grow it into a monstrosity that does everything.

But a library that is concept-focused doesn't have to get that much bigger: it's just another kind of interface, like a programming language or an operating system, and that puts it on a more sustainable track.
If you're worried about malicious differences, "regular" PDFs are worse.

As noted in the article, it is extremely difficult to figure out the original text given only a "normal" PDF, so you end up using a lot of heuristics that sometimes guess correctly. There's no guarantee that you'll be able to extract the "original text" when you start with an arbitrary PDF without embedded data. So if you're extracting text, neither way guarantees that you'll get "original text" that exactly matches the displayed PDF if an attacker created the PDF.

That said, there's more you can do if you have an embedded OpenDocument file. For example, you could OCR the displayed PDF, and then show the differences with the embedded file. In some cases you could even regenerate the displayed PDF & do a comparison. There are lots of advantages when you have the embedded data.
Purple makes sense. Blue and red are the colors of light that are most effectively absorbed by chlorophyll-pigmented plant leaves. Yellow would be a lot less efficient because more would reflect off the green leaves.

I wonder how much money might be saved just by installing shutters to reflect the light (and heat) back into the greenhouse instead of letting it pollute everywhere.
Sorry - my comment was a bit poorly worded. That information is now obscured away from easy visibility being behind a click - it is still there behind the click (not entirely removed) while being removed from a surface view.
It solves it by making sure you handle it at compile time.

In Java you tend not to know where or when null checks have or will happen. So you tend to sprinkle null checks all over your code just incase someone somewhere forgot to check.
Coronavirus Update: Containment Is Possible, WHO Says
I don't understand what you're getting at.

It's not just that ticket scanning solves the problem at low scale, it solves it permanently. At the point where the number of passengers on a train/subway scale to the point where it's infeasible to ask each of them to scan a card, it's also scaled to the point where you need to build new trains and more terminals -- at which point scanning paper cards becomes feasible again.

I'm wracking my brain trying to come up with a scenario where tickets don't work better than gait recognition, and I can't come up with one.

It's not that tickets are enough, it's that they're better.
Because private property is the sin qua non of decentralized decision making. It is in fact a bundle of rights to make your own decisions about the disposition of things. Anything short of it is also less decentralized. Collaboration with less competition has fewer independent decision makers, and therefore searches the solution space more slowly.

Creative destruction is ugly as hell. It incorporates all of evil. But it is also the engine of adaptation; the inverse of lithification. To the extent that we limit it, we limit the parallelism of adaptation. The fact that businesses can be so easily destroyed outweighs all of their manifest ugliness. Very few noncompetitive institutions have that feature. Fast search means rapid destruction and creation.

There is a very real human cost to that, and many, maybe most people will never be convinced that it's worth it.
Both really, but I meant the latter. People don't really trust Rotten Tomatoes (and IMDb and Metacritic are memes at this point). I'm sure Moviefone's parent company has a few mil to spend.
Another alternative

find /etc/ -mindepth 1 -maxdepth 1 -type f \
-printf '%s:%T@:%p\000' \
| sort -z -t: -k1,1g \
| sed -E -z 's/^[0-9]+:[0-9.]+://g' \
| tr '\000' '\n'

Sorts by size, can just change -k1,1 to -k2,2 to sort by date. Tested on fedora 31 with gnu find, sed, sort and tr.

And really the answer given at the stackexchange link is quite on point:

> However ls is really a tool for direct consumption by a human, and in that case further processing is less useful. For futher processing, find(1) is more suited.

Find is the right solution, find gives you an enormous amount of control, to re-implement find in ls seems counter productive.

Can you show me where I claimed Apple made such a denial?

Or maybe explain why you think such a denial is in any way relevant?

They saw that battery life was causing problems in their phones, and they quietly band-aided the problem without informing users. If I kill someone and bury them in the back yard, and then get caught years later, I hope you'll jump to my defense with the line "Can you show me where he denied killing that guy?!"

Obviously silently masking battery life issues without telling anyone is... well... masking the fact that your product suffers from battery life issues.

I am glad to hear that the strive towards a 1.0 continues. During several side projects I have grown quite fond of Crystal, it feels like it might cover a wide range of use cases, with a type system that does not get in my way and a very solid performance. Kind of what I whished Ruby could develop into.

A version 1.0 will sure draw attention and assure contributors and interested devs that there is progress and their time invested in the language is well spent.

Better tooling, e.g. in IDEs, will sure draw even more users.

Looking forward for the things to come!

Offline audio-rate convolution (particularly with shorter impulse responses) has been plausible for a while, but real-time convolution reverb has definitely come into its own over the last ten or fifteen years. Overlap-adding blocks of audio that have been processed in the frequency domain with a low enough latency so as to feel instantaneous is a more recent capability that likely had an influence on this work.

I think the reason they used balloon pops was because that was all they were allowed to use: many heritage or archaeological sites can be nervous about researchers bringing in large loudspeakers and amplifiers, whereas a portable recorder and a bag of balloons can feel a little more harmless. Most acoustics researchers are aware of and use those new techniques whenever it's possible!
Java is getting true pattern matching in version 15, what a time to be alive!
For those who wonder why Mastercard would look at biometric options when we already have things like NFC based payments, here’s a reason:

Most payments require at least two factors, e.g. you must be in possession of a card AND know the PIN. Or you must be in possession of a phone AND have it unlocked with your passcode or FaceID, etc.
It works well but it’s not perfect.

Biometrics like unique vein patterns give you two factors in one. You must be physically present and alive, otherwise your veins would have no blood flowing and there was nothing to capture and secondly your vein pattern must match the “fingerprint” which is you. That’s much stronger authentication than many other schemes and if it was linked to some sort of payment method and potential even identity service then you could not only pay with your biometric but you could also pay for age restricted goods such as alcohol since it would be physically impossible for someone else to use your hand to buy stuff.

It’s possible for a kid to use your card and pin or phone and passcode though. So there’s the case for biometrics in the future.

EDIT:

Also something like a vein driven biometric would also solve the problem of proving that the person was physically at the point of sale and could hugely reduce disputes and fraud.

There’s loads of value in these new biometrics if they turn out to work well.
The key difference is that in your second example you can just forget about the else branch, while in Rust you must explicitly handle the None case, otherwise it won't compile.
Theoretically it would shuffle around and be different sizes each time, so it would never be quite the same. And you could alternate shoes to mix things up a little more.

Of course if you're the only one with gravel maybe that would stand out. Which is why we need to get everyone on the same gravel-based onion network :P
Except that we continue to slowly automate away human intervention (must be done reasonably; it must still be possible, it is just less current in practice). Just look at the state of the art in field X at date T, then 10 or 20 years after.

We are getting better at some software, and why would we not? Not all SW, but some, and even probably a lot of. Likewise for VLSI (which in some aspects is quite similar to SW); there are some quirks, but it basically works despite the modern designs being of unprecedented complexity. With a reliability way higher that tons of high ends mechanical devices. Same story for off the shelf standard operating systems even for absolutely not critical software: given the application are somehow tolerant to crashes (the user just restart), it is remarkable that we get so few.

I'm a firm believer that there is no SW crisis. There are people or companies refusing to apply best practices here and there, or even not knowing they exist, but that is another story.
I'm not an expert in either this or cryptocurrency, but it always seemed like these two would be a good marriage of technologies rather than having crypto mining rigs waste resources on unproductive proof of work algorithms. Does anyone know why that wasn't feasible or didn't catch on?
