Good god, I agree about privacy, but as somebody who does .NET dev for her day job, how did you get rid of the annoyances?

Some of these are little stuff but, off the top of my head: I can't understand the different between these smart "locations" and folders in explorer (documents vs my documents, why everything is under desktop in some file pickers, why C:\ is so hard to get to these days) even after using windows for going on two decades, the system makes me confirm I want to delete something twice (first it asks me if I want to move something to the recycle bin, then it asks me if I want to empty the recycle bin. you only need one! the whole point of having the recycle bin is so that deleting isn't dangerous), the win10 start menu is cluttered and has ads in it and I don't want to spend so much time mucking with tiles, usage of menu bars is utterly inconsistent, and there are seemingly no strong UI conventions for third-party apps. There are at least three and probably four layers of control panel these days, and the newest one almost never has the feature I'm looking for. Search is still bad, and finds what I don't want far more often than what I do.

That being said it has yet to BSOD on me after a couple years of use and that's more I can say about any other version of windows

> Name one Asian country over 50 million people that doesn't revere their elders.

Reverence for elders is by no means unique to Asian cultures, it is found in cultures on other continents as well. It is widespread in African cultures, and in the indigenous cultures of the Americas and Australia. It used to be a big thing in European cultures too, but its importance in European (and European-derived) cultures has greatly declined compared to what it was a few centuries ago.

Maybe rather than "Asian culture" one should say "non-Western cultures"? European-derived cultures, with their contemporary reduced respect for elders compared to most other cultures, are really the odd ones out here.

It would be interesting to see a comparison of aviation safety records between airlines from different continents, based on actual data. (One could try to perform such an analysis using JACDEC data, e.g [1], although I myself haven't done it.)

Whichever opinion is currently being frowned on by society, will always be more prominent in the fringes. The left will talk about how right-wing conservatism is the current populist trend until they're blue in the face, but the reality is that the only people being censured by the media, universities, private companies, etc. are people with right-leaning views. I don't agree with all of them, but I can't remember the last time I read an article about a professor being let go for being an "extreme leftist". Being extreme-left is seen as being brave, pushing the envelope, exploring new ideas, fresh, edgy but interesting etc. Being extreme right is seen as dangerous, fringe, unacceptable, backwards, and so on. And so what happens, is that one side begins to feel cheated by the system, left out of popular discourse, and will then turn to alternative platforms to discuss their ideas. And hence you get the less mainstream, more free speech loving platforms being right dominated.

This is why I firmly believe that all sides should be allowed to share views. The best way for bad ideas to be shown for what they are, is for them to be debated publicly. Unfortunately, that is not what we are seeing happen. And that also means that anybody who isn't censured, thinks they're onto something good. It gives them an inflated sense of worth. See: Twitter checkmarks.
From the article:

> Emulators can run a different architecture between the host and the guest, but simulate the guest operating system at about 5x-10x slowdown.

I think this is a misleading statement because it implies that there is a constant performance overhead associated with CPU emulation. In reality, the performance relies heavily on the workload, more so with JIT-ed emulators.

Regarding this specific benchmark, I think there are two main factors contributing to the poor performance. The first factor is that the benchmark completes in a short period of time. With JITs, performance tends to improve for long running processes because JITs can cache translation results allowing you to amortize the translation overhead. Another factor is that your benchmark is especially heavy on I/O, meaning that it spends a lot of time translating syscalls instead of running native instructions.

I'd also like to add that CPU emulators sans syscall translation should work for any binaries, even those targeted for Linux. It would require a copy of the Linux kernel, but Docker won't work without it anyways.

They are asking for "experts", who will likely come from the extremely left leaning Social Science departments. If they attempted to fill those slots with centrists then they'd be decryed for not using the "real experts" or something similar.

On most platforms racism is only defined using the systematic defintion and not the traditional definition [1]. Calling a white person a Karen seems to have definite racist qualities but it's perfectly acceptable for some reason. Calling someone a N* means people applaud when you get beat up.

I'll trust the "experts" when racism is applied in both directions.

But food production during the pandemic was and is a matter of political discussion. Canada and Mexico recently came to an agreement to accept Mexican labourers due to the shortage. This means migrants and this scares some people.

The demand for meat (though nutritionally unnecessary) and the potential anger from citizens denied the option to buy meat rendered meat plant workers essential workers and thus put at risk for covid.

Food production and delivery is a matter of political deliberation also because we have to ask, "Who works?" It would've been neutral if everyone got time off work, got stimulus checks, and a rotation of ALL people of working age worked at the grocery store to shelve and man the cashiers. But that's not what happened.

The political nature of work isn't only on the material nature of the task but on the people involved.
Since more hands work on open source projects the chances for such vulnerabilities are minimized, but not eliminated. Despite that, more secure is better than less secure.
There are some dangers to using OS as well though. Once a vulnerability is found, it is only a matter of execution and our own sites' security can be compromised.
The idea should be to know our tools as much as we can.

Not only that, but all of this "AI tech" that is starting to be used even by the judicial system is proprietary and the vendors declare trade secrets and copyright and whatnot so you can't take a look at how their algorithm shows someone "guilty".

The US government is so corrupt at all levels that a black box weighing in on someone's innocence is somehow found acceptable now.

Money in politics and stuff like people or companies being able to give "donations" to police departments and other agencies is a cancer on the American society, and I'm afraid it's in the terminal phase.

Until more people realize that this "single issue" affects thousands of other issues in politics -- and do something about it -- it's only going to get worse from here.

I disagree. If anything, inside your home directory is the one place where .DS_Store files are potentially useful and not harmful.

In a lot of ways, yes it is. But that's where theory and practice diverge. Could all the current systems of DF be implemented anew in a way that easily scales to however many CPU cores are available? Most likely in some way yes they could be. Could the current systems as implemented be ported to better scale with the number of available CPU cores? Questionable.

Game engines are incredibly complex -- there are usually dozens if not hundreds of systems interacting with each other. Over time, this all ossifies to the point where making changes to one system requires changes to many other systems. This is kind of a fact of life with almost every game engine or codebase that I have encountered, worked with, or heard of. When you start getting into more than a decade of development, there are going to be a lot of tangled systems that are going to be very difficult to pull apart.

Yes, the fundamental problem may be solved for multiple threads, but DF solved it for one thread, and that solution is part of what makes DF fun. Messing with that solution is asking for trouble.
My understanding is that the most important data is the data you don't share actively. Instead your browser / app sends it unbeknownst to you. You don't "tell" facebook where you click and how you scroll, but they have that data anyway. The only choice you have is not to use the products.
If I am in the app, I can swipe slowly from the bottom, and click the "app info" button. So no hunting for the app icon needed.
This is pretty much the same with me. Working at a new company job can be interesting for about a year. Then it has to have some sustainable 'value' to keep it interesting. I've worked at a number of tech/startup companies recently for about 2 years each. Sometimes I think if I had an idea I could commit to I could start a company except for the non-technical side I don't have a partner for. I really used to really enjoy making programming tools and utilities since I'm the target user and can see the value in it. Nowadays the tools I use seem pretty good already.

No real answers, kinda in the same boat but have hopes my current job makes it past the 2 year mark.

> on balance, a human life has positive value

Yes, I would agree. But that value derives from the process of living. The value of a human life is analogous to the value of a movie. That value only manifests itself while the movie is playing, not when it is sitting on the shelf. And dying is an essential part of that process, just like a movie coming to an end is an essential part of that process.

> a human death is horrifically bad

Only if it ends prematurely or painfully. Otherwise it's just part of life.

And though it would not be my primary argument, I would also agree with #1, 3, and 4, or at least variations on those themes.

Good...but why does the author think modern compilers / language servers DON'T do caching? Or in another way: why does the author think caching mechanism in modern compiler / language server is insufficient? I think the author is proposing a caching mechanism that has finer granularity and design the whole system around this idea from day one. But first, at least many components in LLVM have been doing caching for a long time (e.g. OrcJIT has a pretty decent caching layer and libTooling also supports incremental parsing with AST caches). Second, what is the memory overhead of this (fine grain caching) design when it's facing some larger input program in real world (e.g. OS kernel)? Does it scale well?

I know it's refurbished from an old post so I probably shouldn't be so harsh. But it will be better to compare some old ideas against state-of art works and found some insights rather than doing pure archaeology

There are two criticisms here: one is that Quora is a bad business, and only operates because its CEO funds it, and second is that it is a bad source of information. The first is definitely an unanswered question at this point: revenue is low but the site has a vast amount of evergreen content which ranks highly on Google -- they have a ton of traffic but it's not clear to what extent they can monetize it.

The second is a matter of opinion, and whether you're looking at the average content or the best content. There is great content on Quora but the average question/answer is of course absolute dogshit.

I don't know, I don't really personally need "leading by example". That would mean a leading position getting into the details of the code and that's not going to happen. I need clearly defined goals though and freedom to choose technology to achieve them. That is possible remotely the same as in an office, only that in an office costs me time unnecessarily, which is frustrating.

As I wrote before:

> > Unix piping is basically functional programming.

> Only in the same sense that all computing is Turing Machines or NAND gates.

Yes, you can map and analogize long enough until you reach a point where you find what you perceive to be equivalences.

However, what you've done at that point is rediscover that all these mechanisms are computational and thus at some level equivalent and transformable into each other, just like yoo can implement all of this with just NAND gates.

You have not shown what you claim. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
One thing that doesn't seem to be discussed a lot in this thread is that the keystrokes alone don't tell you what Safari will do. The second and third cases of the original video show Safari adding extra characters (the second and third phone added "m" as in "realty.com[m]", and in my testing, "sketch" added "rs" as in "sketch[rs]". When I tried (iPad Safari) "realty.com", the "Top Hit" was "realty.com" and it did not autofill anything, and I got to realty.com (no problem there). However, The first phone in the video did not show any extra characters. Is Safari considering it a "search autocompletion" but not showing any extra characters, perhaps because they are suppressed?
Also, many commentors here report this not happening for them, but they do not specify the state of Search Engine Suggestions and Safari Suggestions options on their devices. My testing was done with all the default options (which is both Search Engine and Safari Suggestions are turned on)

EDIT: Could it be that the Suggestions system is taking the autocomplete candidate ("sketchrs" and "realty.comm") as its input (instead of what the user actually typed)? That would explain what I've read here except for the very first iPhone in the video...

Multiple people with Safari suggestions on can not replicate it, across multiple versions of iOS.

The fun things about confirmation biases is that if you believe it's true you're going to focus only on those who confirm your bias, yet a single example where it doesn't operate that way should rightly put the entire claim in question. Specifically the claim that Safari/iOS is built to do this, or ridiculous claims that Apple is monetizing this (which is uproariously funny, but that claim is here).

Secondly, you created an account for this? Seems mighty fishy.

It's actually more of a technical problem.

A lot of laptop wired the external output to NVIDIA card, so if you are only using Intel it won't work, as is the case here. Wiring to NVIDIA can more performant, as wiring to Intel requires copy-back from NVIDIA to Intel when NVIDIA is active (which is what is being done for the internal monitor).

As for reboot, well, I still don't know why NVIDIA doesn't have auto-switch in their Linux driver yet.
Yes, it is that broken. First, simply being charged means you're automatically out $5k for a criminal defense attorney and missed employment.

According to Wikipedia:

Helsinki has a population of 650,058 and is located at 60°10′15″N 24°56′15″E while;

Saint Petersburg has a population of 5,351,935 and is located at 59°56′15″N 30°18′31″E

Saint Petersburg is one quadrant south and one quadrant east of Helsinki, or the same quadrant as Moscow as you said.

The bay gets a little thin before Saint Petersburg, and there is a parallel passing exactly through it. I’m guessing that’s whats making Saint Petersburg appear more inline then it is, or—more accurately—makes the shoreline appear to be more to the west then it actually is.
