FYI:

This is the first draft of the Microsoft Virtual GPU (vGPU) driver. The
driver exposes a paravirtualized GPU to user mode applications running
in a virtual machine on a Windows host. This enables hardware
acceleration in environment such as WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux)
where the Linux virtual machine is able to share the GPU with the
Windows host.

So this isn't actual "DirectX on Linux", just a driver for a virtual GPU exposed to WSL-guests to enable guests to directly use DirectX, more or less.

Probably most useful for Azure-based projects.
They were (are?) also not counting deaths by visitors from out-of-state.

Even the likes of Belarus, Saudi Arabia, Iran, China, or Brazil seem to have realised either that it's better for them to be transparent, or that fudging the numbers is always going to come out in the end.

I'm somewhat certain such shenanigans are magnitudes worse for a state's image. New York is seen as unlucky, or maybe incompetent. Florida is corrupt. A failed state.

This is a massive move, I read this as they are hoping to climb the value chain and are optimistic about transitioning into a company that competes for the the social media advertising dollars.

After all, they own their content. Social media companies are just linking to it.

I worked at a consulting firm in 2019 and one client had us upgrading some legacy, but still essential, applications from Java 6 to Java 8. So yeah it’s still relevant. Enterprise systems for a slow, painful, terribly drawn out death.

You presumably also would be in favor of domain brokers restricting speech (correct me if I'm wrong). Does every controversial political speaker also need to host his or her own ICANN domain? Or should they just promote their speech entirely offline?
> The root cause of sexism is the power asymmetry between men and women

The root cause of much disagreement on the subject of sexism is on the claim that there is a power asymmetry between men and women, and the methodology of measuring personal income as the sole means of measuring power in society.

Fun trivia, the promise absorption thing was dismissed when it was brought up, with the argument that the "ship had already sailed on that" and that the arguments for supporting promises of promises were too academic (in the detractors' words, it was "fantasy land").

Which then resulted in the creation of a specification called fantasy-land[1] as a form of mockery towards the "incorrect abstractions are fine" attitude. The goal of this spec is to standardize on functional algebra nomenclature in JS.

Except that mainframe-like platforms are all about vertical as opposed to horizontal scaling, particularly for transactional workloads where this kind of scaling is highly relevant. You can't horizontally scale a database (beyond trivial sharding of logically-independent partitions, perhaps with some further dependency on rarely-changing data that can thus be replicated/cached locally) without severe tradeoffs in both latency and reliability.

A lot of the intent behind Urbit is to solve this (which is why I find it pretty interesting) and push things back towards decentralization.

Basically have a small cost to creating an identity in the network to prevent spam. The system is peer-to-peer where each user has their own 'server' on their local machine which interacts directly with the server's of other users.

It's a pretty neat idea, they recently released their first version.
The article doesn't say, but a lazy look at a 0-60 calculator suggests around 11s.
I mean, these are all true. Lots of people chose to avoid particular hosting platforms, components, utility providers and healthcare providers.

Do you feel like Jones didn't have his proverbial "day in court"? He's had many, of course, and lost most of them. A basic google search tells me you can buy many books written by Alex Jones on his infowars shop. Even if he was kicked off the DNS system he would be able to host his page through TOR.

I do not think that we must provide equal quality of service to all speech. Just like we kick teenagers off online games when they won't stop yelling slurs, there's nothing wrong with banning people from the public square for spreading harmful falsehoods.
I keep wondering if there's a business simulation game, or a gamey simulation, that requires me to deal with the actual business side of things, instead of placing roads and snack stands. Like, to negotiate supply and demand (for b2b), build out relations in support of products, pay attention to marketing costs and otherwise flex the MBA and economic-theory muscles.

Because, dunno about SimCity, but Theme Hospital, RCT and TTD prepared me for running a business about as much as Q3 prepared me for commanding a SWAT team. And modern ‘business simulators’ that I see around look like shovelware variations on those three.
The Eastern Romans had it too, as it never ceased to exist in the East. However, I don't think the original Muslim Arabs had any of those technologies, the states they conquered did. (Roman and Persian)
re: fonts — I booted up my windows machine, and you're right, it renders abnormally narrow and is hard to see. No CSS rendering options could fix it, so I think it just comes down to how Windows handles the font. We'll try to swap it out for something more legible, but big thanks to you for bringing this up either way.

re: screenshots — I think I see the point you're trying to make. We'll get something up and running and see how it works.

I've lobbied for signal, and gotten friends and family to join. Most are annoyed by the PINs and some have left.

Their handling of PINs seems quite contrary to their goal of pretty good security for the largest possible number of people.

It's VERY frustrating to have your device asking for pins every time you use it. I'm trying to protect from attackers on the internet, not someone who is going to assault me. After all if they assault me for my phone they can assault me for my pin. Single devs need to read https://xkcd.com/538/
I've been comparing Trello and Notion recently, and even though both use Electron, Trello feels infinitely faster.

Trello can be toggled with a global hotkey with absolutely no delay, while re-opening the Notion window or loading another Notion page takes quite a while. It is a day and night difference for note taking.
"Follow the Sun" is subtly different from 24/7. 24/7 can mean follow the sun, but it can also mean "we are prepared to page someone at 2 AM and wake them up." Follow the sun means "there is an engineer in China, India, France, Boston, and San Francisco, and at least one of them is always at their desk and ready to take work."

The difference for users can be fairly small, but as someone who used to carry a pager for Amazon, the difference is really huge for the support person.
Interestingly, SimTower was not developed by Maxis but by the Japanese OPeNBooK, and was originally released in Japan as "The Tower". Maxis then published it in US as part of the Sim series.

OPenBooK went on to develop Yoot Tower ("The Tower II" in Japan), a sequel to the original game, in 1998.

Looking at their Wikipedia page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vivarium_Inc.), seems Seaman and Seaman 2 were also theirs - interesting.
AirTable is incredibly reminiscent of Lotus Notes.

I say that in a good way.

Lotus Notes was the first no-code system for developing networked/people/workgroup oriented systems.

Notes lost its way, but Airtable has extracted the essential essence of the Notes client and done an amazing job of making it work.

Airtable is worth checking out in detail because it's implemented extremely well with great attention to detail and beautiful solutions to thorny UI problems.

Also as I replied to another comment this looks for programming related questions while mine is more general linux realted. Also both are free open source software with their source available so feel free to compare before accusing me of making a rip-off.

But, overall I'm quite happy with the response I got here, and I still really wanna make more of such things.
This is actually very common. Most of the Caribbean countries happily accept dollars, but even a slight tear on the bill will cause them to ask for a non-torn one, or else not accept it. They also will not take ones that are visibly worn.

When I asked why, they always say their banks will not accept them.
No. Where did I say that? What makes me disregard a subject is if the person advocating it uses conspirational logic to make their case.
Something I'd like to add here the actual fix is -

+ if (rmem > (size + (unsigned int)sk->sk_rcvbuf))

However in reality this would have worked too -
+ if (rmem > (unsigned int)(size + sk->sk_rcvbuf))
(The bit pattern of the result remains the same and it's still casted as unsigned int during the comparison)

However, signed integer overflow is undefined behavior in C and unsigned integer overflow isn't. Hence, the submitted patch is the correct solution
Something that came up with our team the other day, somewhat related. How do you guys feel about .net when the .com is unavailable?
This is bad reasoning. This is equivalent to someone claiming "I was fired because I found evidence of Martians mind-controlling the President" and then you responding with "if you don't take her word for it, then The Illuminati, who want to bury this story, are going to win!"

Sorry, evidence doesn't work that way, neither does good reasoning

You're completely missing the point. I'm making an argument about how companies should behave, not how they are legally obligated to.

Incidentally, YouTube, Twitter, etc. should be subject to far stricter regulation when they enforce speech codes and don't behave as neutral platforms.
In case there are multiple conflicting transactions (for double-spending purpose), the network will only accept the first one and reject the rest. So the micropayment processor needs to wait for a few seconds when it receives the first transaction in the mempool. If no other conflicting transactions arrive, the first transaction will be acccepted. These few seconds give the first transaction big advantage over the double-spending ones, as it will most likely be included in the block.

If the attacker sends the legit transaction and double-spending one at the same time, it will be detected due to the few seconds wait by the payment processor.
I've never heard of this before, so correct me if I'm wrong, but that wikipedia article makes it look like 2Fe2O3 + 6H2 -> 2Fe + 6H2O. Commercially hydrogen is produced via CH4 + 2H2O -> CO2 + 4H2.

Combined you're just converting methane into CO2 and H2O as if you burnt it? Is it actually the case that this ends up needing less hydrocarbons than other routes for some reason?
I'd say, there are significantly less high frequency blogs than, say, 10 years ago. One of the reasons for this is the radical decline in means of monetization. In the heyday of blogging, you could do it for living, with just a few non-obtrusive ads. Which has changed a lot. Even, if you would plaster your site with ads, like news outlets, with little room left for actually reading, chances are, you won't see much of a return. As a result, blogging is mostly a hobbyist endeavor (again).

> in fact most ppl would not like their friends to know what they re purchasing

Not true by my experience. In fact, lots of people go shopping together.
Sure, some stuff is private. But most clothes, electronics, computer games, household, furniture etc etc is stuff people buy and share around all the time.
At the current scales, that is like saying a 128x128 jpg has big implications over a 64x64 jpg. Anyone who can watch a 240p youtube video can sync with bitcoin's limited blockchain. Not only that but most people don't need to and don't want to.

What is bitcoin's throughput? 2MB every -10 minutes-? That's less than 3KB/s. Let's not do this whole dance where the real numbers never come up in all the fear mongering.
Spotify has been running an exclusive high-profile podcast in Germany for multiple years now. It was previously running on radio and regular podcasts ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fest_%26_Flauschig )

It's surprising to me that popular, platform exclusive audio content isn't happening faster. All video platforms have it.
That's not what the PINs are for.
Spotify actually has supported video for a while (https://support.spotify.com/us/using_spotify/features/videos...). However, the feature itself is horribly hidden. I have in the past accidentally come across music videos, but right now can't intentionally find any video content to cite as an example.

Edit: Another article discussing Spotify testing video content https://www.theverge.com/2020/5/6/21249389/spotify-video-pod...

Yeah, Strava had a big organizational change about 6 months ago when the original founders returned. I think the previous management burned some bridges. The original guys are making good improvements, and I think their minds and hearts are in the right place. If they knew they were going to screw somebody over, I assume the BD/API guys would have reached out, if they were aware.
You'd have to define that, but I think it's a great and practical solution. As more people find out about factory farming and think through the implications of their purchases, they will continue to switch over.
Not sure if it is a typo, but the Dashboard Features link goes to the Register page. I was hoping to see what kinds of widgets are on offer.

Also, I was unable to determine if, under pricing, "4 Widgets" and "10 Widgets" are taken from a limited pool of widgets or if they can include any 4 or 10 widgets from the pool of "Unlimited Widgets".
It's also inaccessible to me to buy a printing press, but that doesn't make the WSJ compelled to print something I write.
I would say developing for java that ultimately will run on mainframe is worse than developing for java for another platform (because deploying to your development websphere is slow and not so reliable). The other problem is that Java is the most 'modern' programming language available. Nobody wants to write a web app in COBOL or C. But Java isn't that good at it either (even without websphere, java does not deploy as fast as python, ruby, php, go). The only misconception is that its 20 years out of date instead of 50. The best reason to stay well clear of it is cost, though. Not just increased development cost but those things are expensive. But for a developer it can be good. Mainframe orgs tend to be stable and pay above average.

The first time I tried to use GnuCash was many years ago. I began by opening up the documentation and reading the overview, which, it turned out, began with a fairly lengthy history of the practice of double-book accounting. I later found that this choice, which isn't necessarily a negative, did a fair job of representing GnuCash as a whole.
Brendan is the CEO of Brave and fairly famous for a number of things, so I can't say I understand how you (as someone who is apparently savvy enough to understand how Brave works) don't know who what his relation to it is?
I haven't even opened Signal since hearing about this update, so I don't know how irritating the prompts are, but I did see this in the blog:

>Because Signal doesn’t have access to your keys – or your data – your PIN isn’t recoverable if you forget it, so our apps help you remember your PIN with periodic reminders. Don’t worry, these reminders get less frequent over time.

Having read that, I doubt I'll get too irritated at the reminders and eventually they'll go away. You have a point that anyone who hasn't read the update blog will have no similar hope and might use something easy. I guess I'd hope the Signal user base is more security conscious than that. For instance, I know my PIN is going to be alphanumeric and immediately stored my password database.
The performance characteristics are similar are they not?

I just want a bank account and to have that bank record my spending and let me download it, securely, and automatically.

I mean the European Union has taken years to force, yes force banks to do this, and it is basically still broken.

I don't want to spend this much effort on something so obviously solvable. It just offends me. Yes that is the right word.

And, finally, none of this matters if I have trouble with the real problem - sticking to a budget. Solving that one is what I want personal finance apps to help
me with. Keeping track of my finances should be a solved problem, locked in a box and forgotten about.
It seems clear (not an expert) that Jobs wasn't fired because the Mac was unpopular at Apple. It seems the main thing that got him fired was, roughly, an internal conflict about what the next step after Macintosh should be: the Macintosh II Apple actually shipped, or something like the NeXT https://lowendmac.com/2013/apples-bigmac-project-failed-prec... . (The Macintosh IIs were very expensive, easily in the same ballpark as a NeXT Cube system, and very profitable for Apple.) There was certainly also personal ill-will between Jobs and Scully and maybe some other senior people, and likely also a lack of trust in his project management. But yes, all this probably had relatively little to do with his behaviour towards subordinates. It may in fact be the case that Jobs' became more caustic towards subordinates at NeXT than he had usually been in his first time at Apple.
I do. Mosh into a free tier gcp server for small things. Spin up bigger instances in either gcp or aws for bigger.

Have been experimenting with tailscale with the idea I might transition to an “on prem” code server. Especially for something like remote vs code.

What would really be ideal is a dock I could use both with my iPad Pro & my work Mac so I could easily use my monitor/mouse/keyboard
FYI, the Perl equivalent is probably "$i" (which in my benchmarks results in ~41% of the runtime. It doesn't appear to be optimized away either, as an empty loop and one with a simple incrementing variable that's printed at the end result in 19% of the running time.

In Perl the appropriate way to convert a number to a string is to interpolate it or use a string based operator ("." for concatenation, etc) on it and let it convert the type itself. sprintf is very heavy and does quite a bit more than simply convert a number to a string.

My guess is that these are "named postdocs" ("[some name] Assistant Professor", e.g. https://www.mathjobs.org/jobs/jobs/14065 or https://www.mathjobs.org/jobs/jobs/15707 ). Despite their names, they're limited to 3 years and only get renewed in exceptional circumstances.
The associated blog post (https://devblogs.microsoft.com/directx/directx-heart-linux/) does have more details on exposing display functionality.

The Festool dust extractors are similar to what you describe. I got one for list price, a bit over $700. It's quiet, has an accessory outlet that can turn the vac on, has an option for a remote, has big wheels so it doesn't get hung up when you pull it around. Etc.

The Festool is noticeably more than even the very good competitors - I think the Bosch is about $150 less, and there are others that are a bit more than the Festool.

But it's not like there's a $200 shop vac that's almost as good. There are such shop vacs -- but they're a different product entirely.

It's important to keep your blood sugar within reasonable range--diabetes can cause pretty severe vision problems.
