Yeah I suspect that could be a very narrow crowd / experience being expressed.

It reminds me of when I used to participate in a lot of gaming related forums and etc. The enthusiast crowd would pan a game as just terrible and unplayable ... and it would go on to sell lot hot cakes and just rake in the money.
Yes, this happens. Although I've been using SG for something like 10 years now and it's rare when a website blocks @SG (and the dozen other synonym domains) addresses.

What's nice with SG is that the emails are sent to /dev/null once the count is over whereas with a catchall, you keep receiving everything sent to any address for ever.

So if a business model struggles over the long term, should they or should they not be saving a rainy day fund? Are you saying it’s the tax payer’s responsibility? I’m really struggling to understand what point you’re trying to make.

At the very least, municipal "dark fiber" [1] broadband should be more of a thing.

I live in a city in Northern Europe and we have it in pretty much all apartment buildings here.

I can choose between 17 different ISPs and the prices per month are:

Price Speed (up/down)
$20 10 Mb/s
$30 100 Mb/s
$75 1 Gb/s
$142 10 Gb/s

If you live in the country-side though, you sadly tend to have much more limited options for a decent Internet connection.

What you're missing is that both political parties in the states are beholden to capital interests, and so the reason "we" can't let them go bankrupt is it would work against those interests. This isn't a conspiracy theory, there don't even need to be conspirators for it to work this way. With very few exceptions you are only capable of getting elected if you believe in the supremacy of the needs of capital. The only thing that can really stand against this is a strong organized worker's movement, which has been systematically dismantled over the past 70 years.
FWIW, from the lead dev's own description on his "up and running" book, pretty much implying that they do, in fact, care about its use in large production systems:

"Get up to speed with Prometheus, the metrics-based monitoring system used by tens of thousands of organizations in production. This practical guide provides application developers, sysadmins, and DevOps practitioners with a hands-on introduction to the most important aspects of Prometheus, including dashboarding and alerting, direct code instrumentation, and metric collection from third-party systems with exporters."
Two important aspects of being a wiki replacement, especially at a larger scale:

- Group ownership of particular topics or sections of topics. This allows for things like "anyone on the team responsible for project X can edit/moderate things regarding their project"

- History of edits made to topics, linked to author. It's incredibly valuable organizationally to be able to see the evolution of knowledge, as well as provides protection from content deletion, both accidental and malicious.
any recommendation on how to do sales?
What you say is reasonable in theory, but grossly ignores the actual history. E.g., the 2017 tax cut was an enormous giveway to corporations and the rich: https://qz.com/1769421/trumps-tax-cuts-and-jobs-act-shows-po...

And a lot of that money is being borrowed, so it's even worse than it seems at first blush. Not only are the rich getting richer, but we'll all have to pay for it eventually. So recent history is the government doing the opposite: they were giving away money during the boom, making it harder to do countercyclical interventions in a crisis. And this from the supposedly fiscal conservative party.

I intended for my phrase “confident realist materialism founded on a certain anthropocentric presumption of Cartesian dualism,” in all its entirety, to refer to the object of the critique. I apologize if my carelessness caused you to interpret the second half of the phrase (the part after the word “materialism”) as a mischaracterized signifier of you, the subject or cause of the critique. Regardless, I thank you for providing an organization of your advanced philosophy and the fundamental mechanics of it.

The most important lesson I've learned from 34 years of writing software, it's to stop pretending I know shit about the problem I'm trying to solve before I have written an actual working solution. Which means getting there asap is top priority and nothing else matters. Sometimes that code runs fast enough, often it turns out I'm solving the wrong problem which means performance doesn't matter at all.
Do you have a proposed design for such a test? I think you would be astounded by the diversity among viruses - they've been evolving for millions/billions of years, and there are an estimated 10e31 on earth
“if all the 1 × 1031 viruses on earth were laid end to end, they would stretch for 100 million light years.”

More importantly, almost adults are permanently infected with viruses like EBV. And there are genes like Arc that seem to be descended from retroviral genes. So what do you test for?
Wow that still sounds really long for simply tokenizing a file? I worked on parsers a while ago and for reference I benchmarked e.g. the Python parser at 300.000 loc / second (for tokenization and building an AST) on my machine (a i7 laptop). Also tokenization complexity should not increase quadratically with the length of the file?

You probably know what you’re doing, just curious why these numbers seem to be off so much to what I would expect. What approach did you use for tokenization if I may ask?

This comes from legacy iconography of some old Japanese character sets. For round trip compatibility and politics many seemingly pointless/redundant characters survived into Unicode.

For example Greek capital alpha, Cyrillic letter A, and our Latin letter A all look the same but each has its own code point. There’s a ton of that.

The origin of emoji is not Japanese computers but mobile phones (keitai), which were quite advanced compared to what was available elsewhere until the iPhone, hence a lot of weird and obsolete images that appear in them.

You can. Keep it in some liquid investment vehicle so you can withdraw it at anytime. If you don’t want to do that, then go under and shut your business. Don’t ask tax payers to bail you out. I’m not sure why this notion of responsibility is so difficult.
Does that seem likely to be effective? I don't imagine I'm a better, more politically appealing, or more capable person than e.g. Tulsi Gabbard. She has a great story, and she has been right about everything, every time there has been a political question. Yet she is demonized by the war media and even many Democrats. As long as Gabbard and good people like her are frustrated in their efforts to end our stupid wars and use the trillions saved thereby to help regular people, I doubt my running for anything would contribute anything.

Besides, the fix for the corrupt broken system does not exist in the corrupt broken system.

We should probably look at why the business model is struggling over the long term. If nobody can make money in a business, that's a sign that too much has been invested in the sector.
I'm not attacking young people as weak. It's a known trend, a trend that even the federal government implicitly acknowledged by lowering fitness standards for younger military members but not older members.

Gym membership may be up because we've lost a lot of other avenues for getting some exercise. Lifestyles have changed in recent decades. Kids are much more likely to play video games instead of playing sports with neighbor kids out in the yard or street.

I'm not against vide games. My kids always played a lot of them. But I also made sure they had opportunities to get some physical exercise, if only so my insomniac oldest child would sleep some and he couldn't sleep if he didn't get some physical activity in on a daily basis.
Try living in a place with only 3 mbps down. You'll find your various computing devices are constantly pegging the connection doing nothing but downloading updates.

I have a lot of computing devices. Probably more than the average American. But both of those numbers are only going up.
The name “floppy” is itself a fossil as the entire device is rigid; in the 5.25” version the disk itself is still flexible but the envelope is inherently rigid due to geometry; only in the original 8” version was not only the disk flexible but the envelope, while stiffer, was trivially deformable by accident.
I have ordered a 15 W Chinese E27 UVC (200-275 nm) lamp from Amazon, and a E27 to wall socket plug with remote control. I am going to place it in the quarantine zone downstairs to zap incoming mail and packages, just for any case.

In one SARS-CoV study [1] the authors have irradiated SARS-CoV with a 254 and 365 nm UVC-UVA light source that emitted 4016 μW/cm^2. They found that "exposure of virus to UVC light resulted in partial inactivation at 1 min with increasing efficiency up to 6 min (Fig. 1A), resulting in a 400-fold decrease in infectious virus."

If my math is correct, a 15 Watt UVC light bulb will provide 4.77 W/m^2 flux within the radius of 0.5 m - assuming it emits omnidirectionally. Assuming the delivered power versus inactivation efficiency relationship is linear, it would require roughly about an hour of zapping to achieve the same levels of inactivation with a 15 W lamp.

Yes, we don't know if SARS-CoV inactivation times are comparable to that of COVID-19, but it's better than nothing. I am not a biologist, and micrographs of both viruses look somewhat similar. I wonder if they are structurally similar, should we expect similar susceptibility to incoming UV photons?

But UVC has been shown to be effective against SARS[1], so there is a good chance COVID-19 would also be affected.

[1]: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S016609340...

> The virus was inactivated by ultraviolet light (UV) at 254 nm

> At 3 cm our UVC light source (254 nm) emitted 4016 μW/cm2 (where μW = 10−6 J/s) and the UVA light source (365 nm) emitted 2133 μW/cm2, as measured by radiometric analysis (Spectronics Corporation). After exposure to the UV light source, virus was frozen for later analysis by TCID50 assay using CPE as the endpoint.

> Exposure of virus to UVC light resulted in partial inactivation at 1 min with increasing efficiency up to 6 min (Fig. 1A), resulting in a 400-fold decrease in infectious virus. No additional inactivation was observed from 6 to 10 min. After 15 min the virus was completely inactivated to the limit of detection of the assay, which is ≤1.0 TCID50 (log10) per ml. In contrast, UVA exposure demonstrated no significant effects on virus inactivation over a 15 min period. Our data show that UVC light inactivated the SARS virus at a distance of 3 cm for 15 min.

So UVC would be indeed effective by these metrics.

I kinda hope we can build something similar to disinfect laptops and cellphones at work, there are so many people touching those and taking the habit of flooding them with UVC before working on them or giving them back to a user would be a good step to reduce transmission.

That's true, and I wish Fastmail had a better way of managing rules remotely (with something like remote sieve or an API) so I could script a click-button-turf-address-forever. On the other hand, I don't mind still getting the follow-ups for some stuff. For example, Target has target@thatdomain.italkedabout.example for years to use for order confirmations.

Yes, the site guidelines call for changing a title when it's misleading or baity. That one was baity, so it's fine to change it. If you do, it's best to use language from elsewhere in the article, if possible. Usually there's something suitable in a subtitle, or the doc title, or the url, or a representative phrase from the text.

Both sides of that rule are important: when to not change the title and when to do so.

The question can be reduced to the following: Where does the electric charge that jumps through the insulator to the floating gate come from? Does it come from somewhere inside the chip, or does it come from the external power source?

I'm not sure, so I'll just make a guess here: I fail to see the power source we used here has any special property, or how does the chip affect the power source in an unusual way, so I assume our power source obeys KVL and KCL as usual, which means its charge is conserved from the perspective of the power source, and there's an equal number of charge leaving and arriving at both electrodes of the power supply. Thus, the electric charge received by the floating gate is of internal origin, and no charge is gained or lost if we count the chip as a whole. Correct me if I'm wrong.
There's an interesting manuscript (caveat emptor) I found related to this[1] that states:

"2019-nCoV RBD likely recognizes ACE2 from pigs, ferrets, cats, orangutans, monkeys and humans with similar efficiency, because these ACE2 molecules are identical or similar in the critical virus-binding residues."

Not being a biologist or virologist, I don't know how true this is, but it may suggest this incident with the cat did in fact happen.

Double-free's can be tracked by doing data flow analysis on the function. This is how D does it in its nascent implementation of an Ownership/Borrowing system. It can be done without DFA if getting it only 90% right and having numerous false positives is acceptable.

I've used many static checkers in the past, and the rate of false positives was high enough to dissuade me from using them. This is why D uses DFA to catch 100% of the positives with 0% negatives. I knew this could be done because the compilers were using DFA in the optimization pass.

In order to get the tracking to work, one cannot just track things for a function named "free". After all, a common thing to do is write one's own custom storage allocators, and the compiler won't know what they are. Hence, there has to be some mechanism to tell the compiler when a pointer parameter to a function is getting "consumed" by the caller, and when it is just "loaned" to the caller (hence the nomenclature of an Ownership/Borrowing system).

One of the difficulties to overcome with D in doing this is there are several complex semantic constructs that needed to be deconstructed into their component pointer operations. I noticed that Rust simplified this problem by simplifying the language :-)

But once done, it works, and works satisfyingly well.

Note that none of this is a criticism of what GCC 10 does, because the article gives insufficient detail to draw any informed conclusions. But I do see this as part of a general trend that people are sick and tired of memory safety bugs in programming languages, and it's good to see progress on all fronts here.
The acoustical coupler was literally the coupler/adaptor to a headset; the modem itself was an electronic package connected to the coupler (if needed).

I have used all manner of acoustical couplers including some built into terminals, some attached to modems and some that could be connected to a modem (like a Bell 103)

Hello Slow Ban my old friend.

For growth technology firms that is true - I remember his debate with Eric Schmidt - he was really arguing being a technology firm should be a temporary award contingent on how the firm behaves instead of a title. Technologies mature into infrastructure and stop being thought of as technologies.

This is part of his thesis that technology companies should be monopoly companies - and that the regulator should treat companies like Google as monopolies but the companies producing new value should be classified as different and given a honeymoon period.

His pointing at a technology rust belt is evocative evidence for the position.
I’m not sure that saved the economy. If GM failed, someone else can and would take their previous share of the market. In the short term there’s pain for GM employees, suppliers, etc. but in the long term, corporate america realizes their losses won’t be socialized.

It blows my mind this country of anti socialism whose media was comparing my native country (Denmark) to Venezuela is so much against the common man but when it comes to the wealthy elites, it’s like your poor people have been taught to voluntarily empty out their pockets.

Socialism == bad somehow until it’s time to bail out corporate America, and even then, your people are against nationalizing these companies. So what lesson do their corporate boards learn? Nothing other than the American population whose already been robbed will foot the bill.
I think the "C++ is huge" complaints are a bit overblown. C++ is huge, but most of its new features are designed with backwards compatibility in mind - if the size of the language bothers you, then you can write the limited subset of whatever C++ you know, or even just straight-up C, while making use of new features (auto, foreach, smart pointers) as you see fit. It's an all-you-can eat standard library buffet.
