You need to spend some time on mental health. if you need help, get help. either stay at your current job or take a new job that you can get now. in either case you need to figure out how to deal with stress and how to value yourself. if you really are going to self harm when you struggle on a freaking leetcode problem, how do you think it’s going to be if you actually get the job you’re aiming for and it’s hard every day?

No, my phone's battery indicator reported a much lower number than what I knew to be true. Say I fully charged the battery and turned on the phone. The indicator would start at 100% and go slowly down as I expected. Then at some point, around 70% the indicator would suddenly jump down to a much lower number, say 30%. If I kept using the phone the indicator would slowly go down at the expected rate, until at some point it would suddenly jump down to like 4%. The phone would then warn me it has extremely low battery and turn itself off.

Now, at this point I could estimate what the true remaining percentage was, just based on how long I had been using the phone. If often turned itself off when I reckoned it should be at 60%. If I turned the phone on again without charging it at all, the battery indicator would tell me that it did indeed have around the 60% charge I estimated.

The battery seemed to be holding charge just fine. If I added up all the usage I got out of a single charge, that time seemed to be about the same as before (a little over a day), it was just interrupted by several rounds of the phone thinking it had no battery left, turning itself on, me turning it on again and the phone sheepishly recognizing then it actually did have a lot of charge left.

Sorry if I didn't explain this understandably in the original comment.

Do you have any good reads on the difference in format that you are referencing? (Linear versus whatever the gpu is doing?)

Even sending the buffer to the gpu for compositing makes sense as a problem, but still feels that should be faster than you would care about in a text editor.

I'm also on a mac that, if I do something that is "gpu accelerated", I'm likely to get a frozen session. Such that most applications don't seem to need gpu help. Are they just using different parts of it?
Conventional wisdom says that the market will adapt if there is a reasonable hope that this is truly temporary. I dunno about you but my family all believed that the stimulus was fine and it would work out but only because this is expected to be one time and temporary..

I find this wiki article pretty good (includes some terminology like apparent wind etc.):

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forces_on_sails

In accurate modelling one would need to consider apparent wind, wave conditions, currents, drifting of the vessel, heeling, the hull type of the vessel, the amount of rudder is given to the vessel to keep it on it's course, effect of other vessel near by etc.

Most of these parameters interact with each other.

A complex problem I would say.

Well, you assume there are no hosts.

I'm sure others have written more, and more intelligent things, but my general thinking about panspermia is:

- it seems like a universal rule there are more small things than large things

- there are more small red stars than stars like our sun

- there should probably be more brown dwarfs than small stars

- there are more small planets than large ones

- planets can and do form without stars

- planets should outnumber stars, and planets without stars should outnumber planets with stars

- there are probably more oceans below the surface of objects in our solar system than on the surface

- the universe existed for a long time before the solar system

...so it kind of seems intuitive to me that life should have developed underground where there's warmth from radioactivity and water, on countless free floating planets over billions of years and occasionally one of those gets blown to bits and something like that seeded our unusual planet.

...and it doesn't seem entirely implausible to me that there should be so much biological material in space that we get a certain amount all the time like micrometeoroids.
Printing money increases the interest rate for future borrowing. If the united states did not have outstanding entitlement programs that needed immediate cash, we could stop issuing new debt until the interest rate was manageable.

However, tax revenues can't cover our expenses so we are forced to issue debt and with printed money the debt is now going to cost more to service.

Except the C standard has a way to communicate how the extra rounding is being introduced, and it's not random (for C, not C++).

There is simply no way around this issue with the x87 instruction set, GCC (again only for C only, not C++) implements FLT_EVAL_METHOD==2 which is the most sensible that can be implemented with decent performance and without breaking 80-bit long double.

If you are sure you don't need long doubles, use -mpc64.

How to Make Money in a few seconds
There are many ways to make money online but the easiest way is to take surveys in your free time. Some surveys can pay up to $75 a day, getting paid is simple and you can request payment quickly and easily.
It is an impressively disingenuous piece (if I may use the author's own preferred word). First, he describes economics history statistics time-series as essentially made up (I'm sure the economic historians like Deaton will be pleased to know that we know absolutely nothing about long-term trends in per capita income etc); then he turns out and claims that people were actually far better off before any statistics he deems sufficiently reliable (I guess there must be some other datasets which are reliable, what a pity we can't use it for anything else). So, the statistics that contradict him are dismissed, and he makes up the ones that favor him. Then he shifts to a nirvana fallacy: because getting out of extreme poverty still leaves you in considerable poverty, actually, it's no progress at all! Wait, there's more: poverty is increasing, because if you look at absolute numbers, there's 'we see that the number of people living under this line has increased dramatically since measurements began in 1981, reaching some 4.2 billion people today.' (Let us take a moment to ponder the intellectual honesty of an author who slides so silently from per capita or inequality to absolute numbers.) But don't worry, it really doesn't matter where all those people come from or per capita vs population growth, po-tah-to poh-ta-toe, because most of them are in China, and China, is, he informs you, not a victory for 'Washington-consensus neoliberalism' (because I guess they got all that economic growth by Mao-style collectivization of farms...?), so definitely don't try to use China as an argument for capitalism or anything crazy like that.
No one alive will live to see that happen, so it’s a hard sell even if feasible. It’s not that no one has thought of this before, but it’s more science fiction than an imminent reality.
No. Apple supports the iPhone 6S from 2015 with the latest OS until at least September of 2021.

Apple also released a point update to correct bugs in devices going back to the 2011 iPhone 4s last July. Apple supported a phone that was 8 years old.

Back in the 90's I was working on some Ada code with some problems that were traced to conversion of strings to floating point at run time differing from conversion at compile time.
This is a really good point. I would consider myself pro-union, but after considering what you just posted, I think you're right.

Thank you for the insightful comment, I feel like this may actually change some of my own opinions.
IMHO, the revolution is the quick fed and congressional response in terms of stimulus. The mindset allowing it was a very long time coming, going back to lessons learned from the great depression, the dropping of the gold standard, observations of Japan's lost decade, but more recently the observation that all of the quantitative easing from the 2008 crash did not lead to horrible inflation.
These articles always miss the mark because they get the history backwards. Modified gravity theories were taken much more seriously in the 1970s and earlier, where the evidence for dark matter was shakier. Cosmological and astrophysical observations from the 1980s to 2000s have vastly strengthened the case for dark matter, which is why it's the leading hypothesis now.

Popular articles won't tell you this, because without exception they laser focus on galaxy rotation curves, a piece of evidence that's nearly a century old and by far the weakest one. But by neglecting to mention the actual evidence we base our conclusions on, they (purposely or not) make us look like fools.

Furthermore, dark matter hasn't been ruled out. One particular candidate of what it could be (a WIMP) has been studied and mostly ruled out over the past 20 years, but by the nature of the business there are many possible candidates. And of course we've shifted attention towards those other options, which is exactly how science is supposed to work!

It may gets it right for this particular test case, but it will get others wrong. It's impossible to say "it gets it right" from a single testcase or three, you have to look at the compiler innards.

See https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=323 for the gory details; clang works the same as GCC's C++ frontend and the same that GCC <4.5 used to behave for C.

For anyone else interested in similar tricks, here is an in-depth video where someone talks about getting a star with half a button press.

For property rights for personal data to mean anything, the default needs be that data starts out as private.

Default interactions need to be technically stripped of anything that ties them together, and exclude any information not necessary for the individual transaction whether it is a search or purchase, and legally, nothing should be stored that isn't necessary without opt-in.

If someone wants to install surveillance software from advertisers or whoever, and be paid for that, then they can opt-in. I don't see this being a big market, but if it is, on a transparent opt-in basis it would be legitimate.

I'm in quite a small niche: tiling window managers. When there's only one window open it takes 100% width and height. Every app I use other than some websites handles this extra space well.

You can reduce it by making real or fake windows on the left and right. Haven't gotten around to making a macro for that yet. If it's an article reader mode also exists.
There is an API to store custom keys in the Secure Enclave. It only supports 256-bit ECC keys and the private keys cannot be read or written, only operated on by the Enclave itself.

There is no official storage limit, it seems, but one Stack Overflow answer put the number at around 400. Interestingly, there appears to be no quota system for preventing one app from using them all.

I'll skip, thanks. I already get enough horror stories and don't need wacky outliers leaning on my brain's various failure modes.

I can't spend my anxiety on things that are so much less dangerous than anything else I do in a given day.

Agreed, the captia is excessive. Ended up giving up on the site after trying to add in a second boat (not a sailor).

It's very difficult to have a positive experience when the first thing that greets you is a source of frustration. It's also silly to put something like this between the user and the meat of your site.

A significant number of people will just elect not to do this, and as a result never see what you wanted to show them.
Was scrolling through the comments to see if anyone mentioned this. I started taking magnesium supplements a couple of years ago after hearing somewhere (forget where at this point) that it helped with teeth grinding. Whenever I'd go into dentist appointments, they'd always mention something about my teeth grinding and recommended getting a mouth guard, which I didn't pursue due to expense. Oddly enough, they never mentioned magnesium. When I started taking magnesium supplements every day, my grinding almost completely stopped. I now notice after a couple days if I haven't taken it, my jaw starts tensing up again and naturally reverts into clenching mode. I don't have any medical expertise or evidence to back its effectiveness, but it sure worked for me. Worth a try before exploring other options.
Having one on the top and bottom is critical. When I was young my dentist gave me one that was only at the top and the constant grinding wore down my bottom teeth.
Informed consent. If you have the probability numbers let people decide if they want to risk it. Make them as well as their next of kin sign ironclad contracts releasing the hospital and manufacturer from any and all liability.

They wouldn't know about us for 500 million years, assuming we could emit a strong enough signal for them to detect that far away. Any aliens that could actually pose a threat would probably be close enough to pick up our emissions anyway.
> [Milgrom's alternative theory:] But far in the outlying areas of the Milky Way, stars would feel a smaller gravitational force than previously thought

Isn't it the opposite?

Dark matter is extra matter which implies extra gravitational force to hold the galaxies together. If you want an alternative to dark matter, shouldn't the alternative theory predict a bigger gravitational force than previously thought?
I am starting to think we need to shutdown both Facebook, Twitter and maybe others for six months. At the end of that period, in order to be allowed back on the air, they have to demonstrate technology that does not allow positive feedback loops of hatred to develop on their platforms (as well as other metrics). If they can't demonstrate this functionality they stay off air. We truly don't need the resonant chambers of hatred they facilitate through crappy technology.

The world ran just fine before Twitter and Facebook. Some of the things we are seeing today were made possible by these platforms and were impossible before they existed. Food for thought.

That makes sense. With the trust system described trust is only calculated for you personally rather than calculating how much everyone trusts everyone else.

From the benchmarks [1] of a simple naive JavaScript version is can recalculate one persons trust in a huge network in just a few ms. With partial updates when new ratings come in it could be done even faster.

> how do you plan to avoid it?

Look around the world. Many other countries rich and poor are doing a good job containing the virus, while the US is incompetently flailing. The scale of social/industrial changes necessary to stall a pandemic for long enough to get effective treatments and ideally a vaccine pales in comparison to the changes required to e.g. fight WWII.

The US is one of the richest and most industrially capable countries on earth, and yet it is barely acting at all, and many official actions (canceling research projects, defunding the WHO, restricting experts at the CDC, the president advising people to just drink bleach, public officials suggesting that the pandemic is a hoax, manipulation of aggregated statistics, ...) are actively harmful.

Success requires a large-scale coordinated national response including but not limited to: clear and consistent factual messaging to the public, free widely available tests with quick turnaround time, industrial coordination to produce and distribute necessary supplies (e.g. the state should be sending reusable face masks to every resident), quick ramp-up in necessary human labor like contact tracing and regular check-ins with people isolating at home, enforced quarantines and testing for travelers, temporary limits on travel to/from heavily affected areas, direct monetary transfers to people temporarily unable to work (possibly extending for months), state-supported pauses in expenses like rent and mortgage payments, ...

The countries which quickly and effectively control the pandemic are those which will ultimately see the least harmful medium-term economic consequences, while those which dither around will both cause massive suffering to their own citizens, and also crater their economies hardest.

> Are we going to force folks wear masks for a year? Outlaw all in person schools and university classes? All contact sports? Honest question.

I would say yes, yes, and yes. Wearing masks while visiting indoor public spaces like shops and public transit is not a significant burden. Packing audiences into sporting arenas during a pandemic is absurdly irresponsible.
The whole "ludonarrative dissonance" meme is getting real old. Games require an amount of suspension of disbelief. Why can Ezio run at full sprint and do insane acrobatics non-stop that would exhaust even most fit human? Because it'd suck of the primary activity in assassin's Creed games was delayed by a stamina mechanic. Why can Nathan Drake heal bullet wounds by simply waiting? Because it's a fast paced action shooter, realistic wound mechanics from ARMA or Escape from Tarkov would be atrocious. Yeah, this means that characters get shot and die in cutscenes when they take 5 rounds from an AK in the torso during gameplay no problem. Similarly Drake kills hordes of enemies in gameplay without pause, but the death of a named character carries weight.

Pointing out the disparity in reaction between the gameplay and cutscenes is like complaining that professional wrestling is fake. Understanding the language of gameplay entails understanding that real world interactions don't translate into most gameplay formats.

This applies to games like the Last of Us and SpecOps the Line, too. You can run around in a circle jumping for 10 hours and your companions will do nothing other than occasionally uttering a like about how you should move on. In real life they'd think you've gone insane.

I suppose the only exception to this are games with effectively no gameplay elements (e.g. visual novels and 3d games that play like VNs like life is strange), and simulation games like silent hunter 3 and DCS (where the whole point is to make gameplay resemble reality as much as possible).
The figures I see on the internet for testing in most African countries are not very high. It's become a talking point that more tests produce more cases; couldn't you argue the inverse - fewer tests produce fewer cases?

It appears about 3200 tests per million are reported for all of Africa, compared to say Spain at ~110,000 or the US at around 96,000.
> Wren is fast. A fast single-pass compiler to tight bytecode

Bit of equivocation here.

Wren is dynamically typed. It will never be fast.

At best, it will probably be one tenth as fast as the slowest statically typed language.
