Never heard of searx .. attempted to use it.

I couldn't figure out which searx instance to use and found no good way of knowing who to trust, most of the engines i used were broken and telling me to find another searx engine.

It looks like it's pulling most of its info from duckduckgo anyway.

Personally I'd rather trust a known entity than an unknown entity anyday, especially when the unknown entity is slow, complicated, buggy and broken in many places.
It’s an explanation of why complaints are being directed at DuckDuckGo (privacy is their raison d’être) even when Google is worse (privacy is not their product – or, in wording that’s more ambiguous in isolation, Google don’t sell privacy).
Well the idea is that it took you years to put on the weight as your normal lifestyle is close to equilibrium calories consumed = calories burned. If you knock off the weight and maintain that same equilibrium then you should stay close to the reduced weight for some time. Of course in reality people's metabolisms and dieting habits change under such drastic circumstances so the equilibrium assumption doesn't hold up. That being said, there are plenty of people who don't care if they put all the weight back on in a few months so long as they have that beach bod for the summer.

The Web 2.0 section with the ultra shiny, shadowy buttons and stickers was particularly amusing to see again.

I'm certainly glad a standardised way of handling custom fonts emerged though, I remember SIFR being particularly painful.

That said, this site could almost do with a "Best viewed in Chrome" sticker, as the removal of -webkit-font-smoothing does some weird things to text in desktop Safari for me.
Unpopular opinion: there never was much wrong with the table layout, and subsequent standards efforts never really managed to properly support a lot of use-cases. You can still see people using display: table and display: table-cell for exactly this reason.

Where's my vertically centered div? Where is my elastic newspaper column layout? How much Javascript exists because people couldn't figure out how to position things the way they wanted?

And many websites have the div version of the "table nightmare", especially Facebook and Instagram. It's also popular to put a transparent div over images to prevent people casually saving them.

Oh, please. There's a million threads on HN complaining about Google and Facebook. Doesn't even matter if they did something, any post will still have those comments. You can't consider the proportionality of the response by just one thread.

It's really quite amazing that when a company that's hitched it's brand entirely to privacy first commits a big privacy faux pas, hides it for a year, and then doubles down on it not being a problem, you have somehow managed to turn the top voted thread to a discussion on the failings of other companies instead. Bravo.

This is about stack allocation of objects where safe (i.e. when you can prove they don't escape the local scope) for Hotspot, something that already exists in J9 (IBM's JVM) I think.

Hmm, but I'm only taking about specifically copyrighted work, or works where the author has explicitly expressed that the work is not publicly available.

Most debates I see, the comments raise are wrt public comments, but otherwise I'd assume participants in a debate implicitly assume fair-use on relevant publications they have released.

I believe science works the same, the derived work isn't without consent, because the consent is implicit. So far as discoveries are copyrightable, they do require consent, and if they aren't they are usually kept secret, as trade secrets.

In the case of IP - it's pretty explicit (from the author) that consent is not granted without compensation.

Zig supports zero-effort C binding by reusing existing C headers instead of wrapping them^. The only other language known to me having such feature while not actually being a superset of C is Terra†. I feel like we are still several light years away from the Holy Grail of programming languages, which would retain full compatibility while also being extremely productive. Walter Bright (the creator of DLang) once stated that the least age to develop a feasible programming language is 40-ish+, so hopefully generation raised in the world of modern computing will manage to find the ultimate syntactic solution.

This makes no sense. There's countless examples of independent nations/supra-national bodies etc. with wildly diverging goals across many areas also managing to work together on shared goals.

You seem to be pushing the same false dichotomy again, that is, that it's either the UK within the EU, else a cold war type situation, and there is no possibility whatsoever of a third situation. I'd suggest that's very obviously bogus.

What I find revealing is that years on from the referendum it's the same crude, tired and spurious anti-Brexit arguments being trotted out. If after all this time the only tactic is Project Fear mk. infinity, what can one conclude about the supposed benefits of EU membership?

I'm not sure why a reply disappeared here, but I feel like reaffirming its late content:

>The strength of Apple products is to be perceived as a higher value thanks to design and marketing. People would buy a Gucci t-shirt for 300$, it's also particularly expensive for a t-shirt. At this point people don't buy the product for its intrinsic value, but for status and perceived value.
Claims of said encrochat:

* Each message session with each contact is encrypted with a different set of keys. If any given key is ever compromised, it will never result in the compromise of previously transmitted messages – or even passive observation of future messages.

* Anyone can forge messages after a conversation is complete to make them look like they came from you. However, during a conversation the recipient is assured all messages received are authentic and unmodified. This assures non-reputability of messages.

* The algorithms employed are many times stronger than that of PGP (RSA+AES). We employ algorithms from different families of mathematics, which protects message content in the event that one encryption algorithm is ever solved.

* Messages do not employ digital signatures that provide third party proofs. However, you are still assured you are messaging with whom you think you are.

Follow the links under the link. As I mentioned in my other comment, this is an optimization that enables (transparent) allocation of reference types on the stack. I.e. the compiler might be able to allocate the object that's created with 'new' on the stack.

It's really varaible based on habits and your biology I guess. I used to drink pretty much consistently Pepsi and Coffee every day for maybe 4 or 5 years.

When I decided to give up caffeine it was like a week and a half long flu, horrible headaches and tired aches all over my body. I ended up having to take time off because I just couldn't function at work.

In my case I was giving up caffeine to help regulate sleeping patterns, though I was experiencing some of the heart palpitations too.
I feel the opposite, I have never seen as much of the landscape as through the giant window in my RV while driving. Its one thing I look forward to is just the drive and the stuff seen along the way while having all the normal conveniences.

Also towing a Jeep with us makes a huge difference being able to really explore anywhere around where we are staying and see the sights. I really love Colorado and a Jeep is the way to really see it.

If I was single I might have a smaller RV with just a motorcycle, but with the whole family this setup is perfect, and it seems like kids have really got a lot out of it, they frequently talk about the places we been in the RV and love traveling in it.

I'm anticipating a lot of confusion and people talking past each other in this thread.

C2 already does escape analysis, and scalar-replacement-of-aggregates to turn objects that don't escape a compilation unit into dataflow edges, which if possible is far better than the stack-allocation in this article because you'd rather not write out to the stack if you don't have to, and you'd like unused parts of the object to disappear. Graal then adds partial-escape-analysis to float reification of an object to the last-safe-moment.

What this does on top of that is then to cover the corner case where an object would be safe for SRA, except something requires the object to have the same layout as on the heap. I think a concrete example of this is some intrinsics and merges where an object needs to be heap-allocated on just one branch, so that code following the merge can have a full object in both cases and not care that one has been allocated on the stack.

The key to avoiding confusion - 'allocating on the stack' in this case means literally allocating the full reified object in stack memory, whereas in C2 at the moment when people say 'stack allocation' informally they mean SRA.

C2 already removes reference type allocations when they don't escape a compilation unit, which is something I think C# doesn't yet do at all for some reason I don't really understand.

> we have often been disappointed by how many [stdlib modules] use native code - even in PyPy!

The CPython interpreter is so slow that it makes sense to implement as much as possible in C. In the past, I've used this as an argument against slow interpreted languages - a faster implementation would not only run code faster, it would allow code to be written faster because more of it could be in a higher-level language.

However, I'm surprised that PyPy uses a lot of native code - not only does it have a fast JIT, but its whole raison d'etre is to be Python-written-in-Python - that's even the project's name!

The editorial and stylistic independence is what I miss.

Absolutely: there is more stuff on the internet than there was then.

But! How much of that stuff is creatively controlled by actual end users? I'd say < 10%.

The large platforms are right out - restyling Facebook?! The build-a-site platforms all look somewhat similar because form follows tooling defaults. And because of the professionalization of web technologies, laypeople are locked out from just making their own page (or at least don't believe they can).
I ended up going with Thermal Grizzly's Kryonaut when I repasted my MBP (Apple does such a horrible job on their own). Due to how thick it is, pump-out basically can't happen. It's the thickest paste on the market.

It's designed for sub-zero overclocking (thus, the name), and has thinner siblings, but I chose it specifically how thick it is, and how it has no curing time. Sub-zero overclocks has the worst pump-out effect due to the vast range of temps you can travel.

The pump-out on my MBP with stock paste was absolutely absurd (hardly any paste left on the dies, almost entirely shoved to the very edges of it), but given the past year, it has had less thermal degredation than my tube AS5 historically has (which is near-zero, I just have to repaste it every 5-8 years, or "once per life of device").

Apple's own paste didn't survive 3 years, or basically went to shit right after Applecare ended. Suspect this is on purpose, but, obviously, can't prove that.

Edit: By the way, thicker pastes require a little bit more pressure to get good contact. I suggest everyone get a torque screwdriver that can be set to 0.6 Nm/5-6 lbf to screw their heatsink retaining screws on.

Intel and AMD have pretty consistent recommendations, as do GPU manufactures, and they range from 0.8 to 1.2 maximum. 0.6 is enough to not risk overtightening, and is also enough to make thicker pastes happy; 0.6 is also Noctua's universal recommendation.

Also, Arctic Cooling's MX4 is another popular thick paste (usually for GPUs, not CPUs, seems to be more consistent on large dies) that likes high pressure mounts.
Various reasons, including patents. Cost is not a "huge competetive advantage" or literally everything would be produced by other countries with fewer regulations for cheaper. There's plently of protected industries in nearly every country.

A very similar thing happened to me a few months ago. A couple of years ago I had written a certain small piece of web software (about 1.2k lines long) and put it on GitHub. On Wikipedia, I saw that there was some software which did the same thing, which I'd never heard of before. Interested to see how it was implemented, I browsed the files in their GitHub repo and saw my exact code in there, with a few tweaks and improvements made by someone else. I didn't appear to be credited.

This was all complicated by the fact I released the code initially under a public domain license. However, I forgot that I used a small snippet of some GPL code, and re-licensed to GPL a few days later. Unfortunately, I hadn't made any concrete change to the code after relicensing, so I couldn't tell if the public domain version or the GPL version of my code was 'stolen' (for lack of a better word).

When I alerted the project owner about this matter on their Discord server, with all the good will I could manage (the only way I could find to contact them), a sizable project of ~20 people, my message was deleted and I was banned. In the end, they added credit to me for the code (and my code was their entire project, plus some bugfixes), but I don't think they relicensed to GPLv3. I doubt the author of the GPL'd snippet would bother to pursue it.
Thank god, we've solved racism.
