Does that help if the software you build inside the container doesn't build on ARM? Imagine a 3 digit count of legacy C libraries which do so far not compile on ARM for a variety of reasons. You would need to spend a significant amount of time to make them compile and run.
I second you on that frustration. You literally get shut out of discussion if you don't agree with every single popular policy.
you send two letters at the same time. one to yourself, and one to actual destination. throw them in together. if your self-addressed letter arrives then you know that the other one made it through too.
It's entirely for speed reasons. It's a very hot routine and exists in RAM to facilitate speedily loading and updating the BASIC text pointer, which is embedded within it, so having it in zero page optimizes it further. Modifying this code fragment to point to your own code and add additional commands to BASIC was called a "wedge" and for some systems was the only easy way to do so. It is a central component of all 6502 Microsoft BASIC variants. See https://www.pagetable.com/?p=774 for the routine in its entirety.

It's because it can track the where abouts of everyone. It's a massive privacy issue. Do you want the gov't to know where you go, what you spend your money, and who you associate with? I sure as hell don't even if they wouldn't find problem with it.

It really doesn't matter what the legislation says - no doubt they have already been doing and been calling it something else. It's going to be one of the worst things to come out of the 21st century.
I have no sympathy for the man and, trust me, I'm not playing dumb. I'm genuinely unable to see the logic in all this.

In a majority system you win by seducing the centrist vote. Why would anybody think it's a good idea to be associated with nazis? Or for that matter, dissolving the police, so his adversaries are trying to outdo him with similar egregious proposals.

What does Biden say about the lootings and the defunding? I can understand that extremist groups somehow justify the violence, but not a presidential candidate or his party. Verizon seems to be a phone company or gigantic ISP. Why does that kind of company takes sides in this fight?

VLSI made the ARM2 and chipset available in early 1987. I seriously considered using that in a machine I was designing instead of the 68020. But I had been burned by Motorola announcing chips and then cancelling them when almost nobody used them (an update of the TRS-80 Color Computer chipset that could be used with the 6809 or 68000) so I decided to continue with the 68020 until somebody else came out with an ARM product. Acorn launched the Archimedes at the end of 1987 and I bought the chips and the manuals and wrote an ARM assembler and simulator. But the project was frozen and I only actually built the machine in 1992 though the chips were obsolete by then.

While the chips were indeed created specifically for the Archimedes, it would have been possible for some other company to have made a machine with them before Acorn.

Grassroots? Do you even know the history of Monero?

Unfortunately Monero was intentionally designed to dump the money supply, so the vast majority of XRM was "mined" by a small group of traditional speculative capitalists.

Monero just amplifies the current plutocracy of the money system due to the algorithm of the emission curve and mining system.

It would be nice if there wasn't a crypto project that didn't try to scam people.

The NVIDIA issue is the biggest problem with any kind of linux laptop. It's not system76's fault and unfortunately right now there is no way around it. If you need more than intel or amd integrated you have to work with that and it's 100% NVIDIA's fault. The hardware can work the right way but they refuse to work with upstream to actually implement the capability.

There is an endgame area you can either accidentally or intentionally enter and some players have managed to 'beat' that.

It's an interesting simulation game for sure, if you enjoy sim city but want to try something a LOT deeper and more complex I think you would like it.

There is also a lot of time that can be spent actually growing up to that size and managing all the various things that can happen (spoilers: raiders, kidnappers, war, were-things, vampires, forgotten beast attacks, very strong creature attacks, tantrum spirals)
Indeed, and WSL instead of a pure POSIX, because that allows to tap into the ecosystem that thinks Linux === UNIX, without having to recompile anything.

An approach already taken by other UNIX clones with their Linux compatibility syscalls layer.
And yet I have seen other code bases become true unmaintainable messes after so long a time, even by their creators. DF works remarkably well. I know he has gone through a few large refactorings in the past out of necessity. I doubt the code is pretty or easy to follow, but I also doubt it’s bad in many ways that code can be so.
Zoox raised almost a billion so terrible exit for the investors, who basically just parked their money for several years. Zoox likely ran out of money and nobody wants to keep dumping money in this space given the anemic progress in the last couple of years.

But here is an interesting take. Amazon is an formidable acquirer and probably the only big-tech that knows how to squeeze from their M&A activity.

They probably saw this years ahead. Many companies were going to develop technology in this space and it was likely better to acquire one of those than to develop in-house. And the reason is very simple: Amazon doesn’t invest in greenfield projects that are not customer facing. Look it up. Almost all the behind the scenes impressive tech they have was acquired at certain time.

For example. AWS proprietary chips come from their acquisition of Annapurna Labs.
All their warehouse robotics come from their acquisition of Kiva Systems.

All their modern video tech comes from their acquisition of Elemental.

Their customer facing acquisitions also play a similar playbook but in a more -fill the market gap- kind of way. “We need a supermarket, let’s buy Whole Foods”.
“We need routers for the Alexa ecosystem, let’s buy Eero”.

Also kind of interesting that they are an opportunistic buyer (almost vulturous) that most of the times only pulls the trigger when the acquisition target is in their lows.

I think you should reconsider. Curl-bashing (or curl-kshing or whatever) at least ties the download to a domain name in control of the project and uses https. The alternatives - such as serving up a .deb or .rpm with a digest - aren't a good fit when the whole point of a project is to provide a single portable shell script (ok it's only a bash script), and especially when the project itself is acting as an installer of sorts, like this one. Would you rather have dozens of aviary.sh scripts with different versions and potentially malicious modifications flying around on github and download sites?
We have iCloud now and ETE encryption. The proportion of people plugging USB devices into machines they don't own is probably pretty minimal.

Setting up Bumblebee can be painful. And not guarantee to last.

I have a nice bumblebee setup with CUDA working, but when I updated the HWE (I think I go from zero HWE to 18.04.4 in one go), bumblebee broke down completely. And I stopped caring and just use prime-select.
This isn't a good outcome for Zoox, which raised its Series B at a $3.2B post-money valuation in July 2018. The company also raised ~$200M of debt in 2019 and nearly $1B in total funding. Meaning it's likely only investors will get paid out for this $1B exit.
The stated complaint against the article is accuracy. It also says Boston PD doesn’t use it yet - this is preemptive. I wonder if they are aware that tests conducted by the ACLU and the like didn’t use the recommended configurations for precision. Not to mention that false positives don’t matter as long as there’s a human in the loop to validate the match, because then it is no worse than the minor risk of a false match we accept even without facial recognition.

That's all nice but from my experience when you go outside the common 1080p 60fps stuff starts to break in funny ways even on windows. Heck, I have a 1080p 144hz display and while scrolling on most stuff is super smooth and 100% worth the premium( or the sacrifice from going with a TN panel), it's also really blocky in some apps.
When digital cameras first came out everyone thought tech would take over. Then everyone realized the things that mattered about analog photography held true with digital. Lens tech trumped all. That only goes so far though. The giants now are those that had enough of a foot in both. Nikon has their optics, but they're also a major player in lithography. Sony has their Zeiss relationship, but they're also huge into tech otherwise. Keiretsu are neat. No reason to mourn here. Olympus is still big in medical imaging among other things. But even that will probably be Sony in the near future.
Voting for Trump would be a big mistake for many reasons. First, he's a terrible prez. But second, if Biden the "compromise candidate" loses, that empowers voices on the left who say "See? We need a radical like Bernie to fire people up!"

It's an approach that works reasonably well in the Unix world of OS X and platform agnostic servers. It plays nicely with non-Apple filesystems including network shares using non-Apple protocols. It also makes it fairly trivial to keep the metadata with the files when moving things around with generic Unix command line and archiving utilities.
He has said multiple times that he will release the source if he dies, so long as foul play is not suspected in his death.

I think for him it's more about being able to "own" dwarf fortress. If he open sourced it, large teams of people might be able to develop it much faster than he could, and if he doesn't really want to manage an open source project, that might end up in him losing control/maintaining a less popular game than whatever gets forked out. It's also widely suspected that the codebase is really bad, and he might not want to manage a clean up of it that makes it 'better' but which results in him not understanding it as well.

Lindsay Graham unveils a bill that would make encryption useless
Personally I hate .DS_Store and they must be deleted. BUT on the other hand I am finishing "a proper missing, a dream File Manager" for Mac OS and thinking about features that would require to store some meta data. Where should I store them? If it's in the folder in form of some ".meta-data" then it would be copied when you copy data and be available there in another machine, or I can create it inside the OS somewhere, but then how to transfer it to usb drive for instance? I do not like idea of data to be polluted with some extra .something, I really hate the idea, but how to deal with it to keep it manageable? I can make some indexes/pre-calculated sizes in the root of the drive, if user chooses to have those, BUT then if we speak about shared network folder, it then may very well appear in some folder after all because it was mounted as a drive, so the only solution would be to put it in ... well the same ".meta-data" just like .DS_Store that I hate. Then only thing to do about it is to give a choice to user when he copy something, to avoid copying those too. Right now I am using constantly "my file manger of a dream" and actually almost forgot about .DS_Store disaster, because honestly I have no need for poor Finder anymore, and thus .DS_Store is not created at all, but should I add something like this for extra features which would -really- require them? What do you think? Putting yourself in the shoes of someone designing File Manger you kind of see where .DS_Store comes from. Still, hate it :) Really thinking what to do for some time now ...

They're still in business?! In the late 90s, I would wheedle a few bucks out of mom every two weeks to get a few rounds of combat in Duelmasters. It was a surprisingly rich simulation. The game was obviously pay-to-play in the most direct way possible, so my gladiatorial team never advanced to much of anywhere, but waiting for the biweekly printouts was still a huge thrill. The operators even facilitated passing hand-written notes between players as an anonymous mail system!

The other, older, founding operator of PBM games is the wonderfully named Flying Buffalo, Inc., who are also the publishers of Tunnels & Trolls.

What’s Amazon’s plan? The article says something something Amazon delivers lots of things something, but I don’t see how building their own driving systems follows naturally from that.

Further, I would think a firm promising enough to seed a self driving program to power Amazon’s delivery fleet would be worth more than a billion dollars.

Would love to hear some thinking on this.

Update: There’s a comment up thread to the effect that buying seed a growing their own program to support their internal operations is standard operating procedure for Amazon that provides a number of good examples.
Likewise, citizens are free to criticize the actions of private corporations - whether they are criticizing Verizon or Facebook.

In California, it's very expensive and difficult. You can homeschool your own children subject to oversight and regulation, but if you want to offer schooling to children who aren't your own, the regulatory burden increases so much that you have to hire full-time staff to handle it, get specially zoned and inspected real estate, and numerous other things that effectively require you to charge a very high tuition and serve only the children of the relatively wealthy.

Wow so this staffer manufactured false outrage using social media to incite a staff mutiny and get a colleague fired? This matches what friends have seen with purposeful leaks in tech companies that seek to invite pressure from a captive twitter outrage machine. It seems these tactics are in common widespread use. Or maybe common at least in left-leaning cities/organizations - I am not personally aware of brazen actions to harness Internet outrage like this elsewhere.
