The proper thing to do in the Windows XP control panel is to switch it to Classic View. No more trying to figure out what category something is in and being wrong half the time, just the same options as you had in Windows 98, plus a few new ones.

Even in Classic View, there are admittedly some items that have user interface styles that date back to Windows 3.1 (one example being part of the Fonts area), so there are some oddities. But switching to Classic View takes care of a lot of them.
I tried both and the javascript support for mermaid is better and has run without problem. I first found it looking for a markdown plug-in for diagrams and mermaid has been great for that.

The person I was responding to seemed to have read my comment and thought I had an issue with raw performance. My point above is that writing iterative code that makes many LAPACK calls becomes difficult to write in Julia because there is no way to manage the memory in this situation other than ccall-ing everything yourself, at which point I would rather write FORTRAN. I work on eigenvalue solvers, so it is all more or less just wrapping a bunch of calls to BLAS/LAPACK. As you say, the main bottleneck is in the BLAS calls anyways, but the excess allocation in Julia can really slow you down. ARPACK is maybe a bad example because its all just mat-vec, when you need to do something like compute an SVD every iteration, thats where you run into issues.
Hi tzs - Jim who wrote that Ars article (and confirmed our original finding) actually commented on the link above, noted how he did not test these in a Synology type solution. His is an important data point, but it, like ours, is only one.

After we published our numbers, we found that it was not just ZFS, but other NAS vendors as well. People were sending us their experiences on non-ZFS systems. For example, Synology users were having issues and Synology took them off their compatible list. QNAP for its part is working on ZFS as we discuss in there as well.
There is absolutely a race problem in technology starting with the pipeline problem, extending into discrimination, salary disparities, microaggressions etc and I don't believe microaggressions are trivial.

I disagree that the use of the master/slave terminology in technology is racialized and I also disagree that it falls into the category of microaggression. A microaggression is e.g. "but you listen to rap right?" or "what exactly are you?" or "wassup homie" directed only at black people. If the comment or action is not directed at a person it's not a microaggression.

Finally, I am not opposed to changing the terminology, I think alternative words are fine, I just think now is perhaps the worst possible time in hisory to litigate this issue.
Am black, I totally agree it’s not a major issue, but I still think it’s not a bad change to make. This is just a hypothetical scenario but I’ve had similar moments before. I’m working with a white person, he says something like, "you mind hooking up that slave device?" And there’s this tiny bit of awkwardness, which feels unmentionably dumb to both of us, but is there none the less. We say nothing, and the moment passes. Except maybe, next time subconsciously, we’re a little more reluctant to work with each other, we don’t even realize why. If making this inconsequential terminological adjustment serves to help get rid of a minuscule, barely perceptible degree of racial friction, then great, why not I say.
> de-escalation and conflict management training is lacking

Hiring and firing by this metric is also lacking.
I worked at a big tech company many years ago and it's precisely this disconnect that I will never work for a big successful company again. Successful companies tend to have a lot of "buffer" in terms of resources so they feel no urgency to ensure that resources and time are allocated to something meaningful. The objectives of middle managers are often not aligned with the companies. I've been on projects that were delivered on time and under budget only to be canned just before shipping because after two years the market has shifted. No one in those two years felt the need to change anything or make the hard decisions. Rather it was easier to just act like everything is fine until the last possible moment after wasting 2 years of worth of engineering resources with 50 engineers. The problem isn't you.
Could they not run once on all of the textures and then save them to a file for use in game?
I like mermaid but actually prefer PlantUML - I think PlantUML has a slightly simpler declarative syntax that fits better with the spirit of Markdown, and with the macros and layout hinting you can usually tame complex diagrams whereas I find with Mermaid it ends up being more incomprehensible.

I find that the gantt chart and sequence diagram are really useful for documentation, but the class diagrams and flowcharts aren’t useful for anything but really simple flows. Basically the diagrams are just too cluttered to read, not sure exactly why, but I think its the spacing due to graph issues.

And you could switch the puppy animation to a cat, or a wizard, or probably several other options!

You could easily switch it to look like earlier versions of Windows, however. I miss that ability in 8.1 and 10; up through Window 7, I could make my desktop look like Windows 95 if I wanted to, and sometimes I did. Nothing like having a colleague walk up to you in 2017 and asking you, "is that Windows 2000?"
The Readme could use a little more context as to why this is necessary. Did Github change the "master" branch to "main"?
> PostScript allows characters to have names instead of only numbers

All defined Unicode codepoints do have names. "Mathematical Monospace Capital C" is codepoint U+1D672. Using character names as an encoding is inefficient but valid, you can do so in e.g. Perl: $foo = "\N{MATHEMATICAL MONOSPACE CAPITAL C}";

Btw., Perl is the one language I would point out for really excellent Unicode support, I know of none that comes even close.
"Popular" votes often differ substantially from actual public opinion due to things like gerrymandering, the two-party system, absence of ranked-choice voting, voter suppression, and the the like.
The charitable interpretation of immigration enforcement is that it ensures a nation does not get overwhelmed by people entering the nation -- in terms of its economy, bureaucracy, etc. I can see that argument that enforcing immigration maintains the economic inequality between individuals in the US and, for example, individuals in Guatemala, but controlled immigration ensures that a nation is capable of growing and supporting the immigrants that come in in the first place. After-all, immigrants are coming to a given country because of perceived advantages of that country, if too many immigrants come at a single time, those advantages may disappear.
Aha, so essentially he meant "football is a game of space, that's why parking the bus is an interesting strategy". Thank you. Too much binary thinking from me. I often struggle to discern the meaning of unclear writing. Which is probably why I spend disproportionate time on my own writing polishing and rewriting for clarity. But I still fail regularly, it's not an easy problem.
I'm not really sure how a flatpak in this case would be any better than just a binary of the game with all its libraries included. I'd like to see stream distributed as a flatpak with access cut off from the rest of the computer so malicious game drm can't scan through your files.

Do you literally think these people are creating harmful technology because they have had a deficit of ethics courses?

I'm not convinced ethics course requirements do much for a moral living. (And a peculiarly large fraction of those curricula often seems to be concerned with agonizing over whether to push various small or large groups of people on to railway tracks to be run over, rather than trying to stop the frigging train)

The examples you link don't seem very difficult to assess if they're approached with high priority placed on not causing trouble for the innocent.
Also, presumably the people purchasing and deploying systems like that have usually taken plenty of formal education about ethics (and possibly philosophy), and yet there seems to be plenty of demand. Why is that you reckon?

>Based on your scenario, if an application-level "change" involves updating 2 files

It could be two parts of the same file too. E.g. if you're using a single file with something like recutils with a single file to implement double-entry accounting and only commit one entry. You'll at least be able to detect the corruption in that case (not that you can in general), but you won't be able to fix it using only the contents of the file.

Blaming ICE for immigration policy that have been inept for decades is going to solve what?

I understand the concern and the intent. I don't - yet? - see the impact.
This is the real threat we should all be talking about. It’s so sad to me that it’s barely discussed. These new religions and their witch hunts are great at silencing discussions out of fear.
There are research where they've done short haul (~1km i think) neutrino comms at about 0.1bit/s.

Slow but still cool, and yes if you could get high enough bitrate for less money than you could gain in HFT trade, it would probably already exist. Them HFT guys and girls do rather crazy stuff to get their nanosecond advantages.

Don't know where this criticism comes from but temp and dewpoint data absolutely matter for air traffic, because it determines cloud bases. If cloud bases are below the decision height for the instrument approaches into an airport, it's illegal for a commercial operator to depart from there (because they could not reliably return to the field in case of emergency after takeoff).

The standard data output of an FAA weather station is in degrees Celsius, however, there is no accuracy more than that.

Is there any particular evidence linking it to the protests? The heat map looks like it's large urban areas in general, which is not surprising.
Team 1 and team 2 both internally compete for projects at the same company.

Team 1 already knows their project won't be "bought", but they can't start on a new project yet, so what's the point of wasting developer time on it?
I have no idea what it’s called but when I was in Cuba 5 or 6 years ago they used something like this on their mobile phones. They basically had an “internet” via bluetooth but without needing to connect to the “real” internet which was very expensive and monitored by the government.
Because everyone wanted flash gone. If it was possible to just run it as a wasm blob at the time we would end up with a bunch of websites still using flash for menus and video. Now that it has been dead for years we can bring it back for the stuff that can't be ported like games.

You are suggesting that just simple combustion of the HE lenses surrounding the core won't damage it at all? Even if the explosive just burns it would melt the physics package, there won't be any reinserting it anywhere. You could recover the fissile material I suppose.
Currently the FDA has the unchecked power to create federal felonies, because failure to comply with FDA regulations is a felony.

This is false.

The FDA can only issue regulations within the specific statutory authority given to it by Congress.

Moreover, a violation of an FDA regulation is not a felony. At best, the FDA can refer a case to the Justice Department for an investigation of whether federal laws were violated when violating the regulation. In many cases, it is possible to violate a regulation without violating the law authorizing that regulation. In others, violating the regulation is synonymous with violating the statute because the regulation just restates the statute.
Probably so, which means I should adapt Goatfish to work as a layer over that, since its API is much nicer than raw SQL.
Wouldn't it be smart to switch all models to the 100kWh battery and thereby lowering the cost of unnecessary manufacturing complexity?

Isn't Tesla using the insight of the big O notation to reduce manufacturing complexity by keeping the BOM parts as low and as simple as
possible?
As a relative neophyte in this realm, this is fascniating to read. Comparing this to the the models/methods to derive said properties, is good education for me.
Comparing the Unicode Consortium to... Death... seems somewhat overheated.
Obviously using a throwaway here. Our board members got it into their heads that successful companies must have an AI "play", so they instructed the CEO to invest about 10% of our development budget on AI.

We are doing absolutely inane projects that have no hope of succeeding.

We serve a niche industry where certified professionals have to do certain tasks personally, instead of being able to delegate to secretaries. Somehow our CEO has been convinced that AI can be trained to do these tasks, at a reliability level not achievable by other humans.

Team motivation is in a weird space: everyone is relaxed because there is no pressure to succeed - we all know the project will fail unless someone develops well-perfoming, human-level AGI before Q4/2020. Lots of long lunches and checking out early in the afternoon.

At the same time, everyone is worried how terrible the fallout is going to be once the project reaches its inevitable conclusion.

Interesting times, but at least we can now tell investors we are a keen company with an AI play up our sleeve!
There's pressure to change blacklist and whitelist to blocklist and allow list too...

I think now is the worst possible time to delve into this issue. America doesn't pay attention to anything for long, especially issues related to systemic racism. Right now when we have the ear of America we can't afford to squander that attention on trivialities that don't affect the lives or outcomes of oppressed people. The dynamics of racial discourse over the last decade means unimportant issues like this will only be used as an excuse to shut down the conversation around the issues that really do matter, yet we don't get anything material in return for dying on this hill, this is just social justice theater meant to make privileged people feel good about themselves.
Last year I installed a composting toilet at our off-grid mountain cabin, and it stinks less then our regular bathroom at the house in town.

The caveat is we have a solar powered extractor fan that pulls air down though the toilet seat and exhausts it out a chimney.

If that fan quits working for whatever reason, it smells pretty bad.
My hunch is that version 1 isn’t quite at the 100msec mark or he would be showing ping tests.

Version 2 is the real starlink but it’s not going to be ready for this crucial window. So it’s going to take some FCC finesse to move ahead.

> As for the hardware, we will be making an announcement closer to date; presently we are working on the assumption that the PCB to ship with this edition will still be version 1.2. We may, however, decide to make some further tweaks to this PCB design. We will, of course, document and inform you of any changes to PCB 1.2 there may be in the future.

Hmm, it will be interesting if there are any major things than need to be fixed with the v1.2 PCB. There were quite a few things fixed between 1.1 & 1.2.
> One simple approach would be for a daemon to create a massive file filled with "MAGICBYTESMAGICBYTESMAGICBYTES...". As that data is 'written' to the drive, the drive sees that it's the magic bytes, and rather than storing the data, simply marks those sectors as no longer needed. As soon as enough sectors in a row have that designation, reformat them as non-smr, and use as regular (non-smr) disk space.

You could nearly get there today with drive firmware only, and no special OS support, using TRIM. The OS can already tell the firmware what space it doesn't need, so the firmware could do what you suggest with this information. The only catch (and difference from your proposal) is that there's no way for the firmware to tell the OS that the space is currently not available, so if the OS puts pressure on that space the firmware would still need to block writes while it SMR-izes and frees the space it previously borrowed.

In other words, drive firmware could use space freed by TRIM for SMR-ization caching today, with no OS modifications.

Many of the features can be a total waste of time, true, once we spent 3/4 of a budget building UI for the product whose biggest customers (95% profit) never used UI. But then again, business plans change, some features need to be customer-tested, etc.
Sorry, who exactly is the expert here that shouldn't be questioned? While I generally respect experts' opinions, I also find it reasonable to question them when they don't pass the smell test.

That would be Server 2012. Took me months to figure out how to restart it via the GUI.

I actually came to like the 8.1 Start screen, though it took awhile. Basically my most-used programs are pinned to the start screen, so I can tap Windows, and use the mouse to select one, with a large margin for error. Or I can search based on the name of the program, and unlike Windows 10, it's only to match local items, and not include any web results.

ICE doesn't make the law. Yes, there have been actions worthy of investigation. But blaming ICE for doing its job? Is it's ICE's fault there are 12 million undocumented immigrants? That was no accident.
This problem isn’t unique to big tech. It’s much easier to tell each other you are customer driven than to actually pick up the phone.

I’m in b2b SaaS, and the best approach I’ve found to combat this is to get involved in sales meetings. Salespeople look at you funny if you ask to come along, but if you convince them you aren’t weird it usually works. And you tend to make the meeting more successful, as well as getting actual useful insights into what prospects actually want.
There’s a great book on the history of Windows NT (precursor of Windows 2000) called “Show Stopper!: The Breakneck Race to Create Windows NT and the Next Generation at Microsoft”.
This is absolutely insane. How could people that are capable of acting like this end up as heads of a huge tech company? It's as if they are literally acting like children.
had a breakdown from loneliness which wasn't a fun time. Something flipped a switch and it felt like system1 shut off system2 for like 4-5 days... Went on a rollercoster ride of pure emotional/reactionary cause and effect[Thinking fast and slow]. Lucky I didn't blow my brains out, I think if I had been treated worse or I had been a worse human I might have.

anyway now that I've brought everyone down~... the upside is it made me realize how important the different ways of being happy are! Not just focusing on other people, not just focusing on myself, not just focusing on what's pragmatic, not just focusing on feeling good in the moment, having happiness in being dominant, having happiness from being submissive etc etc

Previously most of my happiness had come from masculine internal thinking [Carl Jung] type activities.. understanding the world, formulas for making money, formulas for how things work, making myself better etc.. So I drew a matrix of different types of happiness and went from there..

eg:
Feminine external feeling: Latin Dancing

(Feminine in my meaning being 'equal' vs masculine (dominant/submissive)

Not the smartest dude here, not putting this on anyone, just thought I'd share~
That's a fair point, to some extent. If you're specifically looking to perform symmetric encryption on a string with a string-encoded password, then yes, SJCL is easier to use.

The documentation is centered around that one simple example, and the library doesn't seem to do a lot else (at least through a high-level API). I also have a problem with NaCl/Sodium forcing users to handle nonces, rather than handling that detail internally by default. Besides that, Sodium isn't particularly more difficult to use than SJCL; the whole point is that it's an easy-to-use high-level interface that's hard to misuse.

I would also note that SJCL's defaults are a bit dated (CCM vs GCM, 128-bit vs 256-bit, PBKDF2 vs a memory-hard KDF like scrypt or Argon2). Additionally, being pure JS would raise concerns about side channel attacks more so than WebAssembly (like libsodium.js) or native code (like WebCrypto).

I'm sure there are simple use cases where SJCL provides some value, and I'm not saying data and applications that depend on it out in the wild should necessarily be considered already compromised, but I'd struggle to think of a situation where I would consider using it in a new project today, over either libsodium or nothing at all / just TLS.
This is enjoyable reading. It is always interesting to see different ways of visualising things to extract new meaning from them. The dominant colour graphs remind me of kymographs from single molecule biophysics which track the movement of proteins while they carry out some biologically important process.
