mhm, interesting question... i am not dabbing in the server space just in consumer hardware...

1x ryzen 3990x with 64 cores(128 vcores) would be 4k €
1x a mainboard ~0,5k €
1x 128 GB RAM ~ 0,7k €
Storage, whatever you need 0.5k
case + power supply 0.3k

so 6k all around for a much higher perfomance pc...

a ryzen 24cores(48vcores) ~ 1k
1x a mainboard ~0,3k
1x 96GB Ram ~0,5k
Storage, whatever you need 0.5k
case + power supply 0.3k

so 2.6 k should be around the same in raw consumer hardware

There's a thriving independent self-published Kindle market which isn't included in the sales of the mainstream publishers. So there is no "dramatic reversal of fortunes."
After reading the rest of your comments it's clear you are being a disingenuous concern troll using straw men to derail the conversation.
Neither have I outside of photographs! The trouble is that they did exist previously and X11 settled on an abstracted model that supports 5 modifiers (in addition to control, shift, and lock). You have to bear in mind that Emacs can't just stop supporting certain (now defunct to the mainstream) modifiers as many users have setups which depend on them.

I suppose that cosmetically they could update the documentation by changing M- to A- or Alt- or something. Would it really make a difference though?

Aside: Not meaning to be pedantic, but at least under X11 Super is the "Windows Key" and Meta doesn't exist by default. I just checked and (on my machine) the keycap with the Windows logo maps to X11 keycode 133 (hardware specific) which produces keysym Super_L at both levels 1 and 3 which in turn maps to mod4.
That's weirdly amazing!

One of the possible issues is that the chocolate contracts when cooling down, possibly changing or damaging the diffraction imprint.

Chocolate making is a whole art (and technique) onto itself. Producing fine chocolate requires advanced machines (at least for 19th/20th century standards).

I saw that! I thought that his idea to compare heights was interesting, but he failed to account for volume, since LEGO City rockets are wider than normal rockets (an Ariane V, for example, has diameter 3.06m vs 3.51m for the LEGO one) and so could potentially hold the same amount of propellant as our real-life counterparts.
I've got the previous version of this and have been very happy with it. I may upgrade as this has a usbc port.
Well by that definition Tor doesn't provide anonyminity either.

A common definition of anonoyminity is that given a set of users, its impossible to determine which element (person) of the set did the action (published a document) [or have a better chance of guessing than guessing at random]. I think freenet mostly provides this property (with a bunch of devil in the details)
I'm in the same boat. I wonder how soon e-ink readers will get great response times and then share the same problem as modern tablets compared to the old palm.

Not the same as buying hardware, but Hetzner offers dedicated AMD Epyc 7502p instances (32 cores, 128GB RAM, free egress) for less than 150€/month.

So you can just get somewhere between 5 to 7 of those instances for the price you're paying for your single EC2 instance.

Wait a second, by all measures this billionaire is _already_ successful, no? How could anyone claim the contrary?
I feel this comment is a good summation of this conversation. I do not know whether you would agree with the presumed Google's opinion, but a big part of this entire "scandal" is that Damore never said that women are less capable.
I recently listened to a podcast and it had an interesting thought that has kept me wondering.

Bookmarked, thank you.
Unfortunately I didn't notice your reply earlier (the consequence of being productive).

Rereading my previous comment I've realized there are some slight inaccuracies - keybindings are conceptually a bit complicated (at least under the historical X11 model). My Alt keycap actually just produces the corresponding Alt keysym, which maps to mod1. My confusion was due to the Meta keysym also mapping to mod1 (this is the default configuration) even though no key on my keyboard is currently configured to emit it. I set everything up quite a while ago and then forgot some of the details.

* Caps Lock -> Control: This is simply more comfortable for frequent use, particularly in combination with the Vi directional keybindings (hjkl).

* Right Alt -> Level 3: AKA AltGr, this is useful for entering common Unicode characters.

* Right Control -> Compose: Useful for a number of other Unicode operations. I don't seem to make much use of it in practice though.

* Left Control -> Hyper (-> mod3): I had a free key. This gives me an extra modifier for use with things like my window manager that's pretty much guaranteed not to conflict.

* Shift + Space -> Underscore: Makes C programming _way_ nicer.

* AltGr + Space -> Nonbreaking Space: I don't actually remember why I configured this one. I never use it.

* Shift + Shift (ie left & right) -> Caps Lock: I don't actually use it, but this way it's still available.
CEO of America :laugh:
The consoles have enough garbage as well. Like "life of black tiger" which is a bad console port of a horrible mobile game. Its trailer is featured on the official PlayStation channel even though it's apparently using copyrighted background music without permission. Nobody knows why Sony allowed this all to happen.

But to be fair the Play Store definitely has more of such low-quality games.
I use it with PKCS#11 mode and can't confirm some of the drawbacks the author mentions under Alternatives:

> The UX of this solution is poor: [...] and needs manual reloading every time the YubiKey is unplugged or the machine goes to sleep.

I never have to re-enter the PIN after sleep and can even unplug it for a while to use the port for HDMI output.

Still good to see some work in this space. Native OpenSSH support would be best of course.

Is that really a thing between global tech company vs small company or rather big vs small? In a 10 people company, everybody makes up 10% of the people, so they have much more impact on everything than in a company of 10000.
> Is it outrageous to think R0 could be 3.5 in NYC but 1.5 somewhere else?

No, not at all. It would be outrageous to think that it doesn't vary by a factor of two IMO.
Freenet and IPFS are both content addressable retrieval systems, so they are similar in that way. However otherwise they are very different and there have been many other systems based on the idea of addressing things by hash. BitTorrent and DHT are two very notable systems of that type, and unlike freenet they are known for their speed. They are also known for people getting sued for piracy. I dont think the comparison between freenet and ipfs is very illuminating

I think there's some truth in this, I don't know. We don't see other billionaires being so inappropriately outspoken on these matters. Further, he has a cult-like following that's rare even for billionaires; because of this, the burden should fall on him even further to be more circumspect with his words.

Just think about his public tweet ejaculations which frequently decimate his investor's 401k portfolios. Part of his appeal is how he's so forthcoming about his thoughts; but this is proving to be a double edged sword. As days continue to pass his words feel more and more like an instance of Hanlon's razor, he's not actually trying to project a world view that makes sense; it simply doesn't matter to him. And these externalities which are laying in his wake also don't matter. You will be hard pressed to find a billionaire that's that careless.

This brings up an interesting point in LEGO canon. If we assume that all LEGO franchises take place in the same universe, we'd have to assume that LEGO Angry Birds[0] took place somewhere in the canon timeline of the LEGO universe. Even more problematic would be trying to put BIONICLE[1] somewhere in the timeline, while somehow also being able to fit in LEGO Star Wars[2]. Perhaps the toughest one to piece together would be LEGO Mars Mission[3] and LEGO Life on Mars[4]. While Life on Mars depicts a peaceful relationship between humans and martians, Mars Mission centers on a conflict around powerful energy crystals, which just doesn't match up (especially considering the Martians look completely different in these series).

Also the poor are the ones who would seriously consider morally unusual choices such as burning your life for money. The middle and upper classes find such ways repugnant and stressful and seek to ensure that such moral trade-offs are not possible.

Is it really bad to have unregulated food? Is it really bad to have regulated legal service? Unregulated medicine? The poor might have a difference of opinion on the flexible trade between money and life.
Single-Family Detached Home
I have both, and they are just too slow. I think if I were reading fiction page by page, it would be fine. When I read non-fiction for learning, it's very difficult to skip forward/back, re-read sections, highlight/annotate, flip to the footnotes and back, jump to the table of contents and back, etc. All of these actions are frustratingly slow on the Kindle or Kobo. The iPad is fast enough to make a good reading experience. But the distractions.
In my opinion, the Lucas Arts adventure game "Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis" had a great script but it's still a kind of genre that could be considered cheesy, however I enjoyed this game as much or more than the movies.
I forked that to add support for Lua-based scripting, multiple buffers, etc. Fun exercise:

Nobody is asking you to play the garbage. At least on those platforms you have the option to play whatever you want, unlike consoles where you can only play games that managed to secure a deal with the manufacturer.
The first (lockscreen thing) is definitely an ad. If you misclick by accident trying to type your password, you get sent to a bing site opened in edge regardless of if edge is even your default browser. It will then nag prompt to switch to edge which could bring in a good bit of money for MS.

I guarantee that factored into their decision to add it far more than "this would be a fun thing to innocently engage users with."
> The whole point of evolution is that only genes that promote survival and replication can make it through

While this has been true in our past, we as a species have completely diverged from this. We do everything in our power to save every life no matter what the disorder or weakness. So it is no longer survival of the fittest in the traditional sense.

Whereas in the past someone with schizophrenia or major depression would not likely live a “normal” life and have children, now obviously it is very likely.
> What I've found helps is to not buy snacks.

And the main trick to doing that is to not go shopping while hungry. If you are hungry, eat something small before going for groceries, and the temptations will have a lot less power over you.

The 5G Coronavirus Conspiracy Theory Has Taken a Dark Turn
Exactly. This thread describes perfectly how humans love making up stories in their own mind to get the illusion they "understand" something. There's nothing to understand here, and no single simple reason, except that a large volume of BTC was sold.
Detecting it doesn't fix it. You may have someone who e.g. receives a fraudulent "update" report it to authorities, but that doesn't mean you necessarily know who sent it, and by the time you get around to investigating they may not be there anymore. Or they could have just sent out a fictional address to opposition voters and there is nothing there to discover.

And then what do you do? Hold another election? What happens if they just do it again and hope nobody notices this time? Or do it again just to cause grief and delay the election results?

The context of the memo was slightly different. Google would love to reach some kind of 50/50 gender balance internally. The point of the memo was that 1) it is possible that the current google will never be able to reach that balance due to individual choices and 2) suggestions on how to make that goal easier to achieve (for example using performances in teams rather than performances as independent contributor as internal metrics).

From my point of view the current situation is that many organizations are both hostile to women and desperate not to be. what I think was really useful of the Damore memo is that it tried to point a way on how to change institutions to be more inclusive by default.

For sure it would not solve 100% of the problem, maybe just 5%, but I actually think it would have made the remaining 95% easier to solve also.

If your goal in implementing rotation and balancing of binary trees is to better understand a poorly understood idea then you're probably better off using a language like Haskell that is garbaged collected and doesn't have nulls so you can both avoid having any core dumps and also have a smart compiler to help guide you to the solution and the understanding.

It definitely can.

I'm just saying that as a newcomer, being able to fill out things with obvious personal usefulness like "does this bus stop have a shelter and seating" is really cool and engaging. As is having a diverse range of things to fill out.

When your area is already pretty thoroughly covered, it's not as fun to say "this stretch of road has the same speed limit as every other stretch of road nearby". However, once you are an engaged user, doing a few of those things every so often is fine.

What I was trying to say in my original comment was "if you can't find anything interesting to do in it try somewhere else (when you can)"
> Maybe it will go even further, and normalize folks having a real life.

I absolutely love this. I love seeing my colleagues contextualized in their private spaces, that reflects their personal choices, humanity, wholeness. In the office this is reduced to a 2x5' desk.

Office as a space also has a sense of self-importance to it. It is not unlike a church or a stadium where the purpose of the gathering is super-salient and the participants' rich humanity is backgrounded. Working from home, it is harder to be reduced to one's function as a worker, it is impossible to forget that you are a human with a life when constantly surrounded by the cues that remind you of that life, in the space that you live that life.
You're bringing up good points. Chain replication seems neat and I haven't quite figured out why it's so rarely used. Maybe it's partly because it's not request/response-oriented (the tail is supposed reply directly to the client)?

I hadn't heard about LCR before so thanks for the pointer. It seems to be first described in "The complexity of reliable distributed storage"[2]. I found one reference to it in the Ring-Paxos paper[3] and they explain the disadvantages as follows:

> Of special interest is LCR, which arranges processes along a ring and uses vector clocks for message ordering. This protocol has slightly better throughput than Ring Paxos but exhibits a higher latency, which increases linearly with the number of processes in the ring, and requires perfect failure detection: erroneously suspecting a process to have crashed is not tolerated. Perfect failure detection implies strong synchrony assumptions about processing and message transmission times.

I'll definitely read the paper and try to understand how LCR works!

I think this explains why you are having trouble understanding the users point.

I was playing games like Half-Life off of user provided servers in 1998 and can't recall ever having any issues. Others on here seem to have fond memories of doing the same with other games.

> Even then, those sessions can leave players with a very mixed experience (weird rules, mods, someone might have made themselves "god", it opens up the client to be exploited by the server).

This is an odd concern to bring up considering the linked article.
How useless.

1. With the current design standards, "beautiful code" just means lots of useless whitespace everywhere. Code should be compact and functional, not airy.

2. It breaks copy & paste, so this is really only useful for showing off, but not for actually communicating about code or writing tutorials.

3. This tool has lower contrast and lower readability than black text on a white background.

Combined, it's a tool for bragging about the wrong metric while excluding the elderly.

Holyshit, that actually sounds more involved than I thought. It dawned to me that that's why there exists API versions (v1, v2, etc).

Zapier sounds like theyre maintaining these integrations so that they are tested and they work? That alone is a lot of work.
Org mode html export is clean by default, yet customizable.

I like that the outline is represented in the dom as nested elements instead of a flat representation.
Title, status, tags, properties, description, code and code output are well separated and easy to select through path, I’d and/or class.

Something I enjoy is the "narrow to sub tree" feature that allows to export a nice html rendered export from a part of the document.
Hasn't the internet solved a lot of these problems?

For example, you can make the argument that hacker news is sort of a peer-review system for articles from everywhere - personal, academic and commercial.
An average Danish adult is 1.80 m, so I would be off by 0.05 m. That gives me an additional 9,000 litres of volume in the main stage, which can hold 3,240 kg of extra fuel. It also gives each SRB an extra 1.47 cubic meter of volume, or an extra 2,980 kg of fuel. This gives me an extra delta-v of 144.8 m/s, which is still a far cry from the 11,186 m/s you need for escape velocity.

You're correct, it's better to know the algorithm on paper before starting to program it.

An extreme example of that is MySQL's InnoDB. It was written by 4 math PhDs who focused on rigor and correctness, which is why InnoDB is one of the most outstanding codebases in Open Source. The Internet basically runs on InnoDB.

Having said that, programming experience will make you more logical over time, which can help with analysis.
