USB 4 will support 8K and 16K displays. Here's how it'll work
RISC-V is basically a nonstarter. It has a lot of ridiculously goofy decisions in its ISA, it doesn't seem like competent CPU nor compiler engineers were ever in the loop for its design, and the number one benefit seems to be the licensing terms that make it super easy to extend or even replace 90% of the ISA while still calling it "RISC-V".
If you want working brakes and use your bike more than twice a year, you definitely need more than buying a new tube every two years. Working brakes will save your life.
Yes, they all have no value.

Let's assume someone got bankrupted by a hospital over a severe coronavirus case. This means that someone has been wandering around for weeks infecting others. Let's assume there is a chain of 10 contacts between me and that someone. The probability of virus transmission is 1% (and I'm generous here) because more people wear masks, because people avoid talking and generally avoid interactions. Probability of transmission over 10 links is 10^-20 and we may stop right here, unless we plan to study quantum particles.

Now let's assume I get a notification that I might have been infected over the past few weeks. The probability that the app is correct is abysmally low. But even if I get infected, I'm unlikely to get sick and I'm unlikely to transmit the virus to others because masks, social distancing and because I already assume I'm infected.

So yeah, this app would be useless and is only good for surveillance.
Figma's Local Web Server
I read the book 10 years ago and it was hugely inspirational to me. From what I remember it was not about drop-shipping or specific tactics (it does mention virtual assistants), but general ways of thinking, like the 80/20 rule. For me, he really pioneered the idea of "the side project" as a thing people were doing seriously, and gave many examples of different businesses people started on their spare time that lead to a full time income. So Tim Ferriss is not a "get rich quick guru". The 80/20 rule, outsourcing things you're not good at, will always be relevant, and that's why his books/podcasts are so successful.
Wow, really cool scheme! Would love to see it in Scotland.

A friend nicely lent me his bike and I've been going for rides every day during lockdown. Really got the cycling bug now and a scheme like this would be great.

In an ideal scenario, agreed, but very few countries have enough tests to test non-essentials workers or people who are experiencing minor symptoms.
Since this isn't just a €50 windfall direct deposited into their bank accounts, as in the IRS stimulus, it seems like the best approach towards getting people on bikes.

If you are skeptical about whether or not this is a waste of government money, consider why you have not yet begun commuting by bike. The French just bought €300M worth of new bike highway and they want it to be used. What costs could outweigh better air quality and healthier people?
Can you list some of the interesting features that were not adopted in Java?
Yes. 5pm Friday in much of Europe, and later than that almost everywhere else except the Americas.

One of the clearest examples for me of this: when he's making hollandaise, he uses the water in the double boiler to also poach his eggs. It had never even occurred to me to do this, but it makes perfect sense, and I feel dumb for never thinking of it before.
Apple didn't switch processor vendors in the 90's. They dropped Motorola/PowerPC in the 00's in favor of Intel's Core processors that were remarkably faster and more power efficient.
Oh, so taleb is hedging his hedge fund by doing other revenue generating things?

It's a nice gesture but hardly solves a problem. If the payment is for a mechanic to perform some "service" on your bicycle to make it roadworthy again, and from it you gain neither the tools nor the knowledge to perform two simple, necessary tasks for a cyclist; replace a tyre/inner tube, or replace a chain; what's the long term benefit?

How about put 50 euros per cyclist into a tool kit, a dozen inner tubes and some education (YouTube videos even?) so they can continue to cycle long after the 50 euro one time service has passed?

Well over half the country ticks one of those boxes.

70% of Americans are either obese or overweight.
Except that they make it impossible to tell who to sue. And that's the clever part.
Off topic but their blog starts in Feb 1997.

Now I am fairly sure i was doing something blogging like then, but ... actually still having it up... impresses me

Great, X and Y have infringed the copyright for both A and B. I'm not convinced they don't have more legal exposure rather than less (if B is copyrighted too).
50 dollars is about what it costs for a service for a bike in Dublin and London.

Résumé/CV: pmop.github.io

Looking for an internship or junior SE or web development position. I've worked mostly as academic researcher/undergrad researcher assistant (3 years), solving whatever problem was given to me. For instance, I had to design and implement a data mining and processing pipeline, to gather source code hosted on GitHub.

For now, I'm improving my (fullstack/Ruby on Rails) web development skills, but I can take on almost any problem and I'm quite confident of my problem solving skills.
Work on http://www.hyperfiddle.net/, this is a core platform engineering role. dustin@hyperfiddle.net. Requires mastery of ClojureScript and of PLs generally. remote, international OK with overlap to US Eastern Time, freelancers OK. current iteration of our DSL: https://gist.github.com/dustingetz/96c928f755c736d2b525bb61a...
I installed `elpher` via emacs and then didn't know where to go to actually see any content. Eventually I followed a link from "The Elpher Project Page" - it linked to "Project Gemini (hosted using gemini)". From there I found something called CAPCOM and am having fun exploring... but my suggestion is "list some gemini content on the gemini site!"

(Update: oh dear, I've never played with Gopher before. This is my kind of internet! There goes the rest of my day...)
Really why not just spend the money on community bicycles and docking stations, increased racks or similar efforts instead of maintenance? I don't object to promoting bicycling at all but the means puzzle me a bit.
I'm not sure it's accurate to say we "beat the outbreak". First, it's a common opinion among experts that a second wave will emerge. If we declare victory and don't prepare, there's no reason it can't be much worse.

Second, at least in the US, it appears things are slowly gaining steam in more rural areas where healthcare is much more thin on the ground. At the same time, there's a push to reopen things, especially in states the skew more towards rural. It might not end up amounting to much, or it could be a disaster in the making, but it's not quite time to say "we won".

just an fyi since we are talking about bike maintenance - wd40 can be used to clean your drive train but then you are supposed to wipe it off and then apply actual chain lube.

This is easily bought at any bike shop for well under the 50 Euros being offered here
I would encourage you to check out the Bandcamp mobile apps. They allow the exact functionality you describe, of "continuous music streaming while browsing." You may be focusing on users like yourself who primarily interact with a desktop website, and download purchased music to a computer. I would urge you to consider the mobile-first use case, as this is how the trend in the market is going.
The Dilbert Principle
what these apps would be most useful for is keeping OCD types and concern trolls busy while the rest of us get on with our lives.

EDIT: and think about this, users of this app will open and engage with it every time they're shopping or any venue. It will be the most effective add delivery platform ever made. I think that's the real motivation.
The hedge fund in question DID provide those returns. The portfolio given at the end was an example of how you use the hedge fund as essentially a financial product for a larger portfolio.
> If Yarvin is mentally ill, then so was Gurdjieff.

I don't see how that follows.

> Both wrestle with ideas that seem to be too big for them, and both clearly struggle in so doing, or at least in making their big ideas comprehensible to those less inspired.

That's not my view FWIW. Gurdjieff was very clear when he wanted to be and also very obscure when he wanted to be, often at the same time, but always in service of his fundamental goal: Transformation of man.

If you examine the notebooks of Leonardo you don't have to be able to read them nor understand every drawing to realize that you're witnessing the work of a towering genius, a mind beyond the ken of the vast majority of people not just in his own time but even far into the future.

That's what I see in "Beelzebub's Tales". Of course it's obscure and hard to understand (in places): he's trying to construct and communicate a whole world view to future generations that overturns the epistemological foundations of common society. It's gonna be a challenge to "grok".

> Granted that I haven't studied him deeply - but I haven't done so because, where I have looked at his work, I've found nothing that other schools of enlightenment theory haven't said better both before and after him.

I don't know what to tell you. I've also studied him deeply and compared to most "other schools of enlightenment theory" he's like an adult among kindergartners.

> Robert Anton Wilson is in my estimation much more worth anyone's time, not least because he doesn't seem nearly so much to deliberately cultivate opacity.

I love RAW. He is ~#3 in my personal pantheon. But he once wrote a book that, by his own admission, was crammed with jokes that no one ever got.

> In Yarvin's case, I suppose time has yet to tell. Certainly his opinion of the status quo, with regard to tools ostensibly for communication between people, is one I share. I doubt Urbit is the solution, but as I said, time will tell.

Regardless of Urbit, I care about Yarvin and I hope he's a healthy happy person, or at least on his way.
Latest fab costs around $20 billion. You need to manufacture in volume and take huge risks. The know-how inside fab companies goes far beyond patents and IP. Chinese are trying to get into the game with great effort, but they are still struggling at least 2 generations behind.

Until just recently there were 4 players in the hidh end game GF, Intel, TSMC and Samsung. GF (Used to be part of AMD) quit the game in the middle of their 7nm effort because they could not keep up and changed their focus. Intel stumbled and partially failed their 10nm effort.
No. Places with such severe restrictions have still had lockdowns much longer than 2 weeks.
Multi-arch build and images, the simple way
The natural defense would be to have non-copyrighted things on the network as well. By assisting with any search, both legal searches as well as illegal ones, with no way to disambiguate (unless you had a copyright checker yourself when receiving the search request) the search is now laundered.
As if you could not do that on another OS.

You can use Nvidia GPUs in SLI mode in Linux and BSD too. I am using an Nvidia GPU right now and I am not using Windows, and "everything just works" too, no terminals involved. Are you implying that it's not possible to do this outside Windows?

How much of that market capitalization comes from running a de-facto monopoly of office suites for decades? As a consumer, it's hard to see how corporations like Microsoft push governments around the world to buy licenses in bulk because there are no alternatives.

Actually, I just remembered it’s the 3-finger drag that’s well hidden inside accessibility. Mea culpa.
I don't understand this argument. It's not like governors want to take that mile. They have literally no incentive to shut down playgrounds (in fact, politically, the incentive is the opposite), besides uncertainty around what does and doesn't matter for fighting the epidemic in their state. It continues to look like we got lucky that kids aren't really affected much by this, so maybe it would have been fine to leave playgrounds open and keep having play dates. There were indications of that early on, but also a high risk it wouldn't pan out. Playgrounds are exactly the kind of thing that are problematic for the spread of this illness: high-touch surfaces of the kind that this thing sticks to. If there were playgrounds for adults, they would be the most important things to shut down (indeed the closest thing to that - bars and clubs - will probably be the very last things to reopen). On top of that, kids cough a lot and put their hands in their mouths and just generally spread their fluids around. This would all be really bad news except that it doesn't seem like kids spread this much, for whatever reason. But we just got lucky with that, and taking that risk would not have been smart at the beginning of this.

Going back to my first point: I don't understand the logic of this argument at all. Why do governors want to lock people inside? What is the benefit? I share concerns over government breaches of privacy, because I don't want politicians abusing their trove of information on people to hang on to power. I don't see how this is similar to that at all. If politicians in the US were using this to cancel elections where they're on the ballot, then I'm with you, that's worrisome, but that's not what's going on here. These governors are accepting a political hit on the bet that it is going to keep more of their people alive.

Lay out for me the argument for why you think these leaders want to take this mile having been given this inch; why do they want to close down state parks and playgrounds and cancel your playdates? What do you claim is in it for them?
You are underselling this. As per the intro, it's apparently an "international force of rebel botanists". :-)

As it happens, I find the idea charming, constructive and inspired.
> In any case, why would a bureaucrat want to go out of their way to close hospitals if there wasn't a good reason? Who benefits from that?

Politicians benefit from that. The current situation is no different than "No one ever got fired for hiring IBM". In this case "hiring IBM" is a surrogate for doing whatever your voting base believes in. In blue states, the majority believes in shutting things down aggressively, so politicians do. In red states, the majority thinks we should keep things open, so politicians do.

Politicians by and large in this crisis aren't responding to what experts say, they are responding to their own self interest. This is super easy to spot by seeing what experts are saying or what evidence is raised that they summarily dismiss because it contradicts what their constituency desires.
agree. these hedge fund managers are just glorified salespeople. even ray dalio.
I'm not disputing the legal status. Obviously downloading copyrighted material is illegal. I'm asking how they're going to enforce the law in a scheme like that. In order to have strong evidence you have to get physical access to the computer committing the crime. But in most free countries you can't raid houses without having evidence in the first place.
And https://regexcrossword.com/
I am sure it is enforced on the Stripe backend. Basically it sounds like there are two options:

1. Do not set the script parameter, let Stripe collect the data, and have them do fraud detection, which will result in better risk scores and more transactions approved.

2. Do set the parameter, prevent Strip from collecting the data, and prevent them from doing the fraud detection (since they have no data to feed the detector). This may result in a higher risk score (meaning higher fees) and/or fewer transactions approved.
Yeah, its quite amazing how poor our data is. Combine that with how politicized the issue is and I don't think we will ever have reliable numbers.
One thing not mentioned here which I think is good to be aware of as you write intermediate to advanced regexes is understanding "catastrophic backtracking" and how to mitigate it: https://www.regular-expressions.info/catastrophic.html

For some reason I enjoy figuring regexes out. What I usually do is TDD them, I have a mini test suite of examples of strings I want to match and strings I don't want to match and I write some code to apply a candidate regex to them all and validate, and then I iterate until it passes. Then I rewrite the regex in extended regex format and add comments so that other people or future me understand what's going on.

Doing what a good regex can do with regular code instead (which you might do with the goal of readability or maintainability) is usually much much MUCH slower, FYI
I guess I forgot about Apple and Intel in the 90s? I thought it was Motorola (68k) -> IBM Power PC -> Intel (present). What was the 90s Intel + Apple thing?
Well, they did swap processor architectures in the 90s too. 68k for powerpc.
TBH, the real solution will be reopening the economy with masks on and social distancing. Vaccine is a pipe dream and by the time it might be created, everyone will have been infected a few times.

My conspiracy theory is that the government understands that very soon everyone will wear masks and sunglasses and all the face-recognition tracking will become useless, so to compensate for that, they are pushing hard for alternatives. Once masks get normalized and the infection rate drops to manageable levels, the opportunity to push this app surveillance will be lost.
It does not get anyone on bikes since it targets people who already have bikes.

It is bizarre to think that people who have bikes were waiting for a €50 windfall before actually riding them.
£50 would get a bike shop to give you a brief look-over in the UK. I don’t know about France, as I can say it’s amazing how much prices can change over short distances.

Two years ago, I cycled 1050 km along the Rhine, and the bike needed work before and after, in addition to me using ~£15 of chain cleaner on the way.
Go is special in that it is significantly simpler than all of these languages, while having a large overlapping domain of operation with each.
I'm yet to see a single real-life money-making program written in any of the languages you cited that is as easily readable as a Go program.
