It's a DNS server so it has no way of knowing the bandwidth usage of the clients, the traffic is not flowing trough the pi-hole, it just responds to the DNS queries sent to it by the clients.
I get a light version of it sometimes, though it depends on the game. One thing I learned to not skip is the IPD adjustment on the headset; it needs to be pretty close in order for the difference in perspective to fade into the background for me. My SteamVR config likes to reset it from time to time, and I can tell instantly when it's wrong; it's like looking through a fisheye lens, but not as pronounced.

For me, any game where the camera moves independent of my headset can trigger nausea. Blade and Sorcery's jump implementation is really bad about it; anything that lets me "fall" when I'm not expecting it. That at least makes sense; if I suddenly fell in real life I'd freak out too. Of all things, the non-teleportation option in Minecraft's popular VR mod, Vivecraft, trigger motion sickness most consistently. But I can teleport around Skyrim VR for literally hours and be totally fine. I get the feeling that with a bit of practice, I could build up a tolerance to it, but it's definitely a persistent danger. It's got to be frustrating for developers, since it seems like there's such a wide range of individual variance in sensitivity. If I get around to making a VR experience, I'll stick to teleportation simply because that's what I personally find to be "safe" and comfortable.
We stopped uncontrolled contagion. Next steps are mitigation in order to keep contagion low enough. We don't know how immunity works for this novel virus, so research, massive testing and improved tracing. Borders can open up when countries cooperate. Prove better medicine to reduce ICU time. Work while embracing the remaining uncertainties.
Typical Western chauvinism. Grandparents are the wisest and kindest people in your family. They usually cope with children upbringing much better than parents.
I've wondered that myself. And for myself.

I gather that it does take several years to go from early cancer cells to a tumor that's visible by MRI. But once there's a visible tumor, progression is much faster. And by the time you're clotting up and experiencing GI symptoms, you already have multiple metastases.

But there's no specific blood test, as far as I know. So basically you'd need an annual MRI scan, I suspect. I guess that'd cost too much. Or maybe damage from the x-ray exposures would overall increase risk.
Yes I love a lot of things about their style but they don't value individual achievement which puts them at a disadvantage in many respects because every so often you get an incredibly transformative figure if you cultivate that culture.

They dont celebrate winning like other countries. I totally understand and respect it but it's just not my style. I don't think it brings out the best but I admit it may please more people.
> -30% loss risk for only 0.5% expected return.

vs the alternative - a guaranteed loss of 4%?

And the expectation of only 0.5% return is only going to be short term. Long term recovery is a good bet imho.
You're emphasizing what I'm saying. They have a mix of articles that range from slightly conservative leaning, to promoting eugenics. Since you find their posts to mostly be reasonable, the ones that are a little more right also seem reasonable, and with enough of that, the ones that are even more right become more reasonable too. It's meant to slide people further and further to the right, making them even more receptive to the extremely far right stuff that's in the comment sections. You're the target audience.
LLVM is both a library and a collection of many tools building on that library. Static linking means that almost all of the library code is linked into all of those tools.

That's extremely wasteful, especially for debug builds.

Luckily, shared library builds of LLVM are easy. And gp might want to invest in a Threadripper. It's possible to compile all of LLVM in a few minutes nowadays :)
Interesting.

Would you mind sharing what industry you work in now please?

Nonsense. "Life", in this context, refers to your right not to have your life taken by the state. You don't have a right to be safe from all harm.

I'm working on a somewhat similar development, where I however wrote an actual assembler for .dex (Dalvik bytecode) files, which gives access to all the Android APIs and allows defining your own subclasses (e.g. new GUI components etc.) For example, I can drive a regular SurfaceView in a multithreaded way. I plan to speak about it on the upcoming Online Nim Conference on Jun 6. You can see a "teaser" that is an old version of the project (initial PoC) here: https://forum.nim-lang.org/t/4840
> You can expect around 1.5% in the US for IG bonds.

Sure, but the fed's target inflation rate is around 2%. That means you're in fact losing 0.5% of your purchasing power per annum. That's just losing money slower.

I am also an Emacs user, but please don’t be so dismissive of other people’s work. This looks like a great extension.

Despite my qualms about memory use and latency, VS Code is a fully programmable editor just like Emacs, except using Javascript in place of Lisp. I don’t see much of a difference, except that JavaScript is much more popular (and thus the VS Code ecosystem develops faster) and Electron is a much more modern runtime, which enables easier integration of visual tools.

I think rather than criticizing Code all the time, we should look and learn. Clearly, Code is doing a lot of things right. And it’s not just the web dev crowd. I have seen a lost of Rust folks go to either Code or IntelliJ.

> I can’t say a 10% improvement is making LLVM fast again, we would need a 10x improvement for it to deserve that label. But it’s a start…

It’s a shame, one of the standout feature of llvm/clang used to be that it was faster than GCC. Today, an optimized build with gcc is faster than a debug build with clang. I don’t know if a 10x improvement is feasible, though; tcc is between 10-20x faster than gcc and clang, and part of the reason is that it does a lot less. The architecture of such a compiler may by necessity be too generic.

Here’s a table listing build times for one of my projects with and without optimizations in gcc, clang, and tcc. Tcc w/optimizations shown only for completeness; the time isn’t appreciably different. 20 runs each.

Just like the Redis replacement, AWS's MongoDB replacement of DocumentDB comes us when you search for Mongo, but it is not an actual replacement even though the name indicates "compatibility."

As a rule of thumb, we always try to avoid such proprietary services for potential vendor lock-in, whether AWS or not.

Depends how big the "inconvenience" and slowdown is (both economic losses and isolation and routine disruption cause death and quality of life decreases). Poverty is on average much much worse than covid19 for life expectancy (though there are a lot of caveats here).

This isn't a taboo trade-off, both sides of the trade-off contain things we really don't want to sacrifice.
It might be possible that product development itself is the actual bike shedding, and all the frontend, backend and product devs help the product owner realize that ;) However, you can't know in advance, yet the process has a tendency to self correct over time - creative destruction and all that.
The currencies have little to do with the wellness of how the gov't handled the crisis. It has more to do with demand, and theres' just a lot of demand for USD, simply because it is considered a reserve currency, and a lot of people would rather hold it than their own native country's currency.

To your last paragraph, there's no real technical leadership in LLVM because none of the original contributors are good project stewards, e.g. Lattner is just chasing the next shiny.

There are occasionally some feeble attempts to improve that, but of course people are wary of the potential politics.

Fascinating. I think it was this early belief in the 90s and then the dotcom boom had the superstars and then the next wave had the next superstars and it shifted. Now it's shifted back. Wonder what shifted it.

Well, to my people out there, do not fret: there are still places to work where you work with other obsessives, there are still people who look for that in each other, and after 20 years of messing with computers I can tell you it is still joyful. You can do what you love and make a lot of money doing it. And in these places no one will judge you for loving the thing you work on so much you do it for fun as well.
0.5% of 30 year olds is not going to the hospital for Covid-19 by a long shot.

In the Netherlands there are approximately 1.100.000 people between 30 and 34 years old (inclusive). Of those people 150 entered the hospital. That’s 0.01%. Most of these people are not dying (in fact only 3 of them did, which is 0.0003%) and while there isn’t a number of people with the chronic problems it definitely isn’t all of them.

By the way slightly more than 0.1% of the population dies every year due to smoking. I have yet to see the massive safety efforts.

I didn't see the "(2017)" when reading this and wasn't aware of the news at the time, so at the end I wondered about how things concluded.

Unfortunately Matt passed in 2017 [1] [2] and the company reportedly acquired by Uber in 2019 [3] [4].

My take-away from this is to not waste the precious time we may or may not have, to not have regrets, to have my friends and family know how much they mean to me.

A side note: It's a shame that the record of his death by his company only exists through a web archive link. It feels like the passing of a person should be more permanently recorded. It's a single marker that says "this person existed and they mattered". Of course this means a lot to those who knew him directly, but it also means a lot to those in the future trying to understand their family history or the history of our society.

For example, the people who were killed during the witch trials - although their deaths were tragic, at least there is some recording of the injustice done against them [5].

No need for elitism. I'm sure there are scientists and researchers perfectly happy with Notepad++ and I've worked with web developers who've used emacs.

I agree that VSCode is unlikely to reach the level of emacs in terms of being a fully programmable environment. But what it does offer is an easy and modern out-of-the-box experience.
Funny that you mention UK and blood tests. I was literally told I don't need one, so I went private for £100. I was right about something being wrong, too. Really can't generalize for the whole of UK, though, some parts are so deprived they might as well have no healthcare.
I'll take it a step further and say we shouldn't be using the Web paradigm at all.

We've tried a million different ways now to essentially generate HTML. So many frameworks. So many libraries. Front end. Back end. Etc.

But, we're still working within the paradigm of the stateless Web, designed to display documents and images. Trying to hammer an application in there (especially a SPA) really doesn't make sense.

So, why do we just keep forcing it? If leveraging the ubiquity of the Web is the objective, then there's nothing to say we couldn't have a VM running in a browser that itself uses web protocols/languages, but abstracts them away. That would leave us writing code a la Swing, an event-driven, component-based model that makes so much more sense for a GUI style application. No CSS, HTML, fighting back-buttons, state management, routing, etc. That's all handled in the VM.

That is zero sum thinking and misses the point entirely. You don't decide based upon more or less than others but the best option for you. Judging by percentages is like saying "Why jog or walk if you will never be a supermodel?" Invest because it is an end in itself.

The reason VCs and hedge funds get in early is because they can afford to fail a lot and have their successes outweigh their failures. It isn't because of some caste gatekeeping to monopolize the wealth while twirling their moustaches but because without that level of capital it is a very good way to lose your life savings. First rule in investing is never risk what you can't afford to lose.
What kind of sites, if you don't mind sharing?

A shared object, even if mapped in 300 running apps will be loaded only once in physical memory (at least for the code segment). Statically built binaries will have each another copy of the code that will be loaded every time the binary is started. So it will be loaded in memory 300 times.

I just checked the size of the clang-10 binary that was built. It is fucking 1.9 GB big (gcc 9.2 on the same machine is 6.1 MB).
Isn't currency (and many others) more of a zero sum bet -- useful for hedging if you are a business with expenditures in one currency and income in another.

> lack of off-the-shelf hardware accelerated video decoder in the browsers on Linux

Firefox has support for VAAPI decoding on Wayland, but when I tried it a month or two ago it was still a little rough (and only supported h264). Its also not enabled by default.

An easier way to get hardware decoding that isnt buggy and supports all the accelerated codecs your hardware does is to use mpv. It has native support for youtube URLs if you have youtube-dl installed. Just make sure to use --hwdec=vaapi or set it in your mpv config.

Generalizations galore on both sides? There are probably as many 40hr Devs that just want to phone it in as there are effective ones. It's possible youve learned to weed out the former but they do exist. Similarly I'm probably one of those Workaholics, but I make an active effort not to waste time. However I do work with good effective 40hr devs and I try to make sure that we are all on the same velocity. The remaining time I spend on pet projects for sure, but I do hope they are not a waste of time for someone, be it my personal growth or my company.

This is stated in the form of a fact. Can you tell us where you learned this fact, and how one can judge whether it is actually true?
You can't kill people. I simply propose that we move costs back on to consumers. So, like I do, make everyone pay for the carbon they produce. Stagger it so that they overpay by some amount and let the countries that haven't yet polluted underpay. It'll be a small factor, some 10x or so.

For my life that'll be around $4k extra in costs per year. If someone already lives a very carbon neutral lifestyle then it'll be much less. If they fly a lot more it'll be a lot more.

> Physical access is just such a rich attack surface that keeping your computer away from malicious actors is the right and proper solution.

Keeping attackers away from your computer is certainly the best solution, just as keeping your computer off the network is the simplest answer to avoiding network security issues. But that's not always an option, so we still need to care about it.

> An extreme example a pentester imparted to me once was, if someone could spend sufficient time alone with my laptop, they could remove my hard drive and insert it into an identical laptop with a hardware or firmware backdoor preinstalled.

That'll be detected with any properly implemented remote attestation solution (switching the machine will change the endorsement key, so attestation will fail)

> If a computer is booted and the drive is decrypted, an attacker with physical access could open the computer, remove the RAM, and download it's contents, thereby stealing the encryption key.

Removing soldered-on RAM from a motherboard fast enough to maintain the contents is not a straightforward attack. Not theoretically impossible, but you're not going to have a good time of it.

> If the computer is powered down, it's still vulnerable to other attacks; enrypted drives necessarily have cleartext code for accepting the password & decrypting the drive. You could modify this code to log the decryption key, or broadcast it over your device's radios.

Will be detected via remote attestation.

> There's also the classic Windows "sticky key" exploit, where you replace the sticky key binary with a program that gives you administrator access, reboot the computer, and then activate sticky keys.

How do you do that with an encrypted drive? Look, yes, it's not easy to guard against physical attacks. But some organisations that genuinely do have to deal with state level attackers care about physical security and care about mitigating it, and we have moved well beyond the "physical access means you've lost" state of affairs. Finding new cases that allow attackers with physical access to subvert our understanding of the security boundaries of a machine is of significant interest.
I think you've just supported the claim that the two facts are entirely orthogonal.
