benchmarks I've seen for the 2080 ti and a really high end cpu + motherboard combo ($799 cpu + $399 motherboard), plus a ton of RAM, show FPS dropping to 21fps, 25fps, in a number of major games at 8k. Not what i'd call playable, even if the average fps might be 35-40fps.
The GOPROXY API being either , or | makes me a tiny bit sad. Now, what was once simple, has given these characters new and not easily discernible semantic meaning. I really wish I had commented on this proposal but missed it until the feature was already in.

For me, it’s because too much white background feels like staring directly at a light globe for several hours a day, and it hurts my eyes.

That match was still arguably not fair for the human because of the imperfect input and outputs he had to deal with. In the end I'm not sure it makes sense to put artificial handicaps on the machine to leave the human a chance. It's like a swimming race between a fish and some land animal but the fish is not allowed to use its fins. Sure the other guy has a better chance to win, but, what does that measure really?

A degree says something about the student. I completely understand why universities would not want to accept credits from school below their own qualification level. If they confer a degree to a student that student is representing the university's education quality to everyone that hires them or works with them.

Spending three years at a community college and expecting the credits to transfer to a major university makes no sense for the institution. At that point they did a minority of your training, why would they recommend you?
Don't host this stuff on AWS if you care about cost.
This makes intuitive sense to me. I assume it’s to do with more overall light being emitted from a white background/black text combo being easier for our eye to process.
Facebook caches URLs pretty aggressively (often you need to explicitly purge the cache to pick up updates) so I don't quite understand exactly what happened here. The article is very light on details. Do you have 7 million unique URLs that have been shared on Facebook? Or is it the same URL being scraped over and over?

Are you correctly sending caching headers?
I assume by "first course" you mean UNIV 1001.

For those unaware, that's the "study skills, introduction to college, college success" course.

Yeah, that was pretty awful. I don't mind the material. It was nothing new to me, but the quality of discourse, grades, assessments, and so on--ugh.

With each step through the CS prerequisites, things have improved. So it seems the less prepared students either washout or get stuck doing general education courses. (Thankfully, I've got all that covered in transfer.)
How much does google pay Apple for search priority on iOS safari? Assume they would likewise need to pay android similar amounts
Perhaps. But general as it is this explains what OP was asking: Why Rust is more popular when D has the same functionality.

There's always people that are fascinated by new languages but I feel this is likely a minority. I think people want to learn languages they know will be useful.
Are you sure that's up to date? Because I'm sitting here right now with a 75" 4k screen, the PC in question, Chrome, Netflix, and it's definitely not 720p. I would notice if I was watching Altered Carbon in 720p. I can also see that the PC is moving about 23.5 Mbps of traffic from my home router, which matches with one of netflix's 2160p HEVC bitrates.

No I don't have evidence, and I was going to include that I don't have evidence in my comment, but didn't. I was merely stating a possibility in answer to your question. Maybe you should reply to my second paragraph instead.

Edit: I don't know about the intricacies of political correctness, but somehow "trump supporter" feels ok, maybe because it has two words and "supporter" balances "trump". Personally I think "50 cent army" isn't as bad as "WuMao" even though they mean the same thing, go figure.
Please don't use the term all browsers when referring to Chrome. A situation like Ad Nauseum and Chrome would never arise on Firefox.
The bigger more pressing question is: How much value is in uniqueness and is it diminishing?

See, to maximize uniqueness you would institute crazy eugenic policies to combat sexual selection, random culling (literally euthanized at random) in addition to randomizing wealth and power. (Sortition.) Conceivably this would result in a somewhat unstable society, but perhaps workable.

Fun sci-fi setting.
I think it also depends on the app.

For example Youtube and Twitch where the main content is in video format, dark mode is excellent - just like how the lights turn off in theatres.

Now when it comes to typing, in a Markdown app for example, a white background and black font feels more natural - just like a good old piece of paper.
I wish the school were more rigorous, but they are working towards regional accreditation. It takes time, unfortunately (or fortunately?).
I doubt anything will happen. The smart move would be to let it fizzle out.
And suffer the penalties of kidnapping if they do it for the wrong reasons, yes. This would do two things: one, people would have a huge incentive not to do that, and two, maybe we'd raise the threshold for jail and raise the penalty for wrongful imprisonments, meaning cops don't jail people for victemless crimes and we don't have such a massive prison population.

Also, we could make laws saying that prisoners are only allowed to be kept at approved prisons; a law that could be applied equally to police and citizens, while ensuring the government gets to approve who gets imprisoned.
Some phones allow you to go darker than the lowest setting using an accessibility filter. On iOS, you can do this with the Zoom feature (set to 0% zoom and with a dark filter layered on top). I don't know why they don't just offer the filter without having to go through the unintuitive Zoom setting, and I only happened to learn of this feature because I talked to an Apple employee who works on accessibility.

I now use this as my triple-click functionality since it is more universal than inverting colors (which can cause issues on some websites, with photos, etc.).

I’ll admit it’s not the best phrasing (and I’m definitely not an ophthalmologist, so I’m playing fast and loose here). Your pupils dilate to let in more light because there’s less light overall when the background is black. This causes your lens to distort slightly, thus making the edges of the white text appear to be fuzzy or bleed into surrounding characters. I couldn’t find a scientific source on this, but a couple articles called it the “Halation effect”. Over time, this creates eye strain, and it’s apparently worse for users who have astigmatism. Of course, if the text is sufficiently large enough, this effect should be at least somewhat mitigated. Generally, at least in my use cases, it’s not large enough. Although the more I think about it, I’m rarely really staring at white on black. It’s usually more like various colors against a very dark navy. I should probably just rest my eyes more...
A university's selling point to an employer is their degree ensures a student knows the material and can reason about it. That is the practical point of academic ethics. If a student cheats, sure they may get a decent job, although their lack of competence will eventually catch up with them. However, what they've done will impact the worth of everyone with a degree. So, getting a degree by cheating is essentially stealing from those who got the degree ethically.
My experience as a runner has taught me that indeed a calorie is just a calorie. I’ve been everywhere from mostly plant based to mostly meat based to mostly junk food based without significantly impacting body weight through any of those shifts. The real important part is the speed that different foods enable you to consume calories and an awareness of caloric intake in general.

Quantum states can be A and not A.

Unknown questions are A and not A.

There’s interesting alternative logic systems that try to tackle this.

We get into interesting territory when using English and then “is” as a statement. Most English is assumed to have a certain value because of to be.

English is almost inherently flawed with logic bugs and assumptions.

> There's always disputes, but no ones dying or being thrown out of their homes, people are being looked after.

This is an underrated point; I think your larger message, that cooperation isn't dying, is likely true. I think I have the tendency to focus on the problems that are growing (or continue to exist) without noticing areas where there is progress and my comment was a reflection of that. And I agree that it is good that we have started to have these conversations.

But I also think there is something to be said for the point the OP was making: human systems simply don't function as well at scale. Or stated more precisely: humans are better at being prosocial in smaller groups than they are in bigger groups. There are a lot of reasons why this might be the case (see for example [0], [1], [2], [3]). As we scale our society to be more and more global, I think we are going to need to reckon with this at some point.

[0] Not having enough interactions for tit-for-tat to function as a strategy (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prisoner%27s_dilemma#The_itera...)

"Unless you’re using an OLED or AMOLED screen and your dark mode is truly black – not dark grey, not dark blue, BLACK. There is no difference in power consumption."

I thought this was a myth. I looked into it last year and found that power consumption was (roughly) proportional to brightness.

At a meta-level, I'm surprised that something with so factual (and testable) an answer can still not be settled.
Even if we are to exclude silent genes and debilitating illnesses and obvious critical defects from that set, it's still very likely more humans than would fit on Earth. (Which has some 100 billion carrying capacity.)

You could, but that's a $750 rotator to spin some serious antenna weight.

What'd be more ideal is if someone ran a kitting business for the open source satnogs rotator. https://wiki.satnogs.org/SatNOGS_Rotator_v3

Buying in bulk, one could probably get the price down to $200 and still keep a profit, but the volume would be so low that it's probably not worth the time and effort.

I think of neoliberalism and neoconservativism as offshoots of corporatism, which is the idea that government can most efficiently serve the people by protecting the interests of corporations above all else.

This leads to the idea that regulatory capture is economically efficient (“Who is better qualified to regulate industry than successful industrialists?”)

It also leads to things like banning class action law suits, allowing binding arbitration, and allowing individuals to sign away arbitrary rights by implicitly accepting non-negotiated contracts they haven’t even seen.

Oakland has commercial enforcement zones, where private police enforce the law. The idea is that business owners weren’t getting a good deal by paying taxes to fund the police, because it was subsidizing law enforcement in residential areas. Instead, the merchants hire their own police, and pay less taxes. Oakland’s (mostly poor, black) residents fund the police that protect them out of their own taxes.

Anyway, you get the idea. Back to your question:

Neoconservatives generally think corporatism is best achieved by dismantling the government (“repeal Obamacare”).

Neoliberals think it is best achieved by restructuring it (mandate health insurance for all).

(Contrast that with the populists in that debate. They want to dismantle the health insurance industry and replace it with medicare.)

Usually, when people talk about moderates in the US, they mean corporatists. The MAGA crowd are mostly “right wing” populists (xenophobic, “America first”, bring back factory jobs), the BLM types tend to be “left wing” populists.

If you look up corporatism, you’ll see it is a shortened form of “corporate fascism”. I don’t think that term is particularly constructive, though it is accurate: the MAGA and BLM movements both accuse the establishment of being fascist.

One side targets neoliberals, the other, neocons. As General Mattis pointed out last week, divided we fall.
"Truly identifying a problem means looking deeper at the symptoms, the customer, the impact, the alternatives, the opportunity, and the relationships between them, while avoiding the “solution bias” (often known as “The issue is that the customer does not use my solution”)."

I guess this view was just a lack of education about nutrition? One can get super fat from the cheapest things imaginable. Sugar and carbs. I guess in hard times even that was difficult to come buy.

Wouldn't a sufficiently nourished body look strong? Plenty of lean muscle mass, low body fat?
> Might be something similar going on here. It might be that they want the degree to represent the full 4 year experience at the school or it might just be the money. The cynic in me prefers the latter.

Everything I've ever heard about and learned of the college admissions and pricing situation makes me prefer that latter.
I lived in Seattle Capitol Hill (Harvard Ave by SCCC) area for 10 years and left the state in 2010. I went back a few years ago for a visit and it looked like the homeless population had doubled in the time since. All of King and Pierce counties are completely overrun by homelessness and drug addiction. I remember it was a big deal when they would go sweep out "The Jungle" tent city under I-5 at Beacon Hill. Now they're building tent cities right in the middle of residential neighborhoods.

Seattle and the Puget Sound is a beautiful place but horrible place to live. They have an absolutely useless government that has no idea how to solve any of their problems. So they end up with stuff like this.
> That said, 'jacquesm's comment is beyond stupid, really.

Name calling is not constructive.
This university does not have a quota. They take in all students who apply as long as they meet minimum criteria.

There are reasons as to why there should be admissions. For starters, they require a high school degree. It's obvious that you should be well familiar with all of the school material before university. All studies and communications at the university are in English only. They accept people from the whole world so they need to ensure that you have adequate English skills. In the case of CS studies, they also check if a student has some basic math skills and any previous experience in the field or recommendation.

But even here university is trying to help students who don't pass minimum math and English requirements by offering them to take introductory English and math course. If they pass it, they can go on and pursue the degree.

There are good reasons as to why it is necessary. If you don't have basic English, you can't communicate with your peers. As a part of the study, you have to read and write a lot. You also need to understand your peer work and grade it. Finally, it is easier for the rest of us to study.

Before they were more lenient in requirements and it was causing problems. They had a very high drop rate because people who enrolled had no adequate English skills for example. It also made it difficult for others to study.
> I’ve decided to stop using dark mode across all of my devices, because research suggests that going to the dark side ain’t all that.

It makes sense to use research to make a decision that is based on data that applies equally across a population. But for something that is a personal preference, it doesn't make as much sense to rely on population-level data. If you started using dark mode because you liked it, then you shouldn't stop using it because, on average, the general population performs marginally better with light mode.
You're welcome to vote me down for pointing out cultural bias, but I don't think you should deny it or gloss over it with your downvote. Especially at this time.

At this stage in human history, Google search is so engrained into the web that surely the only moral action is for Google to calve off the free part of their business and place it in public trust.

Sex vs. Masturbation
Some people says sex is healthy but masturbation is not. What is the difference between them?
I couldn't agree more; I think part of the appeal of the right is somewhat dogmatic in that most of the sticking points are very fundamental and the messaging is very straightforward; guns, religion, family, low taxes. What does the left stand for? Being a progressive is a moving target, and the inter-messaging is very mixed and often contradictory. Ex. for a long time liberalism was about free speech but now we want to regulate speech with safe-spaces and trigger warnings.

Part of this probably evolves from the fact that Liberals are introspective and willing to challenge their beliefs to their own disadvantage in a way that the GOP never has been; but it's genuinely confusing and the party does not feel unified.

Given that you have Debian experience already, I'd go with the latest Ubuntu Server LTS version. The advantage is that if there are instructions for how to do anything you need, that's what they'll most likely be written for.
