"Modern" UIs are often atrocious, and I'm not the only person who thinks so.
I agree with this.

I used to play condition zero (counter strike) when I was 11-12 at the same time learning frontpage and photoshop. I used to switch between them when I got tired of one.

My brother who's 14 now, is totally addicted to CSGO and the skins / box system is totally ruining the game IMO, one streamer buys a skin and all of a sudden its on fire. Gameplay is almost second now.

I've heard of people committing suicide when valve locks accounts of high value.

I never really got into half life, after cracking halo on pc with a keygen (my first every multiplayer online) and playing one game, I was hooked. But never to the peripheral stuff. Just the game itself.
What is acceptable is a sliding window. Too much cynicism, and we'll debate what country not to nuke next week.
Also blogging from a regime that may become oppressive in 5-10 years (at which point your blogging history about how great democracy is will come back to bite you in the ass).
Cf. The Scarlet Letter from 1850:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Scarlet_Letter
Although graphics companies like to talk about "cores" or "processors" to make their GPUs sound powerful, they are really just counting ALUs. If you marketed this chip similarly, you'd end up with something silly like "1024 AVX Core CPU".

A closer analogue of x86 cores is what Nvidia calls a "Streaming Multiprocessor" and AMD calls a "Compute Unit". There's generally only up to 64-80 of those on the highest end GPUs too. However the difference is that each of those cores is able to perform 40-64 SIMD operations at once, compared to x86's puny 8 or 16 or so.
Good grief. What happened to "Democrats are coming for your guns"? At least that one sorta made sense. Can you name three significant ideas whose debate has been suppressed online? Because I'll bet that for each of those I can find a 200+ comment flame war on this very site.

There are quite a few free VPN apps, so getting porn would be only one more step away.

We really, really aren't.

>If speech has consequences that are administered outside the law, then it's not really free.

Just take a moment and thing about what you just wrote. It's absolutely nonsense.

I can't go in to a job interview and call the panel a bunch of cunts and then expect to be hired. That's a consequence of speech "administered outside the law".

Does this mean there's no free speech? No, of course it doesn't.

I find it interminably frustrating that people (moreso on the right, and moreso in America, but neither exclusively) hold free speech above pretty much everything else. People have more than ONE right.

Free association is also a right that needs to be protected. And that means people should be free to associate with (or to NOT associate with) people that have said things they disagree with.

Maybe you would. We know from other countries that in general 5 hours is about the max time people will spend on a train before they choose to fly instead.

The parent's post is spot on IMHO. The analog possibilities of the touchbar can really help in doing creative work, and I never thought of it this way.

But it's still overblown though, since the same interface is available on the xxl touchpad and would be better served with a gesture (so that aiming a narrow spot is not necessary).

As a dev I would never replace regular function keys. You certainly didn't lack shortcuts for debugging without a touchbar. But I definitely see the point it being an accessibility feature (in that case though, my thought goes to something like this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optimus_Maximus_keyboard instead)
This was so good and it just got better for every episode and every season.
Well, true that certain systems hinder you in becoming proficient with software, even if these are called "accessibility features".

But if there is a goal I am sure they will get crafty pretty quickly.
Nothing you've said contradicts what I said. Male polygamy and female hypergamy go hand in hand. These two strategies evolved together. You can't have one without the other.

Many of the 30% of sexless men have voluntarily withdrawn from the game for various reasons. Being able to satisfy their urges at home is a big one. This withdrawal just allows polygamy/hypergamy to enter society again. This is, after all, the natural order of things. Marriage and monogamy were just human inventions.

Most of the IM of today isn't synchronous as well. That's the exact reason OTR was deemed not enough, because it requires synchronization, and the Open Whisper guys came up with a novel encryption scheme that works with asynchronicity in mind.

Now of course that doesn't mean you should never be synchronous, and it is true email might not be the best vector here. But from my little experience it's good enough for simple messaging.

These complications are particularly relevant if you're managing a fleet of devices on networks you don't control, such as on-prem versions of SaaS systems, or consumer IoT devices. In that situation you definitely don't want the device to be sitting around with a back door into your network, and subnet conflicts are often impossible to resolve.
Absolutely none, people will just use a VPN or TOR.
It's often said that nobody would read the Economist if they saw the kind of pimply faced recent graduates who actually wrote it.

My cynical side says that this is a way of preventing journalists who work there from accumulating a fanbase which would give them leverage over the magazine (since they could then viably threaten to take to different publications). It fits in with their neoliberalish philosophy.
> What workloads are so massively parallel that they can use 64 cores of x86 but can’t use the thousands of CUDA cores on a Quadro card?

Building software, for one. C compilers and python interpreters don't run on a GPU. Lots of stuff doesn't run on a GPU. In fact in practice the only things that run on a GPU are the tiny handful of known subproblems that the industry has collectively decided are "GPU problems".

Like it or not general purpose scalar software is, has always been, and will always remain the standard mechanism by which computing hardware is applied to new problems. Everything else is an optimization around the edges.
It's not really about running linux applications as much as running your application in the same or similar environment to what you are ultimately deploying on.

I ventured into this a while ago. After thinking about it, I decided that if Google or the Government decided they wanted to know who I was, they'd find me one way or another. I'd go insane trying to stop them. But they weren't really my threat model anyway - I just wanted to write political ideas without strangers tying their perceptions of those ideas to my real self.

I wasn't planning to write anything that could be perceived as illegal or close (eg, no inciting hate/violence/treason).

So I thought of a pen name, created a Gmail for it, then a Twitter with that, and a Medium account with that. I blogged on Medium.

I wasn't too worried about pissing off a rogue Medium/Twitter employee enough for them to try to doxx me, though it was the only thing to give me pause - and honestly, a run-of-the-mill VPN I only and always use for that probably would have been enough.

Ultimately, if an internet mob was going to get me, it'd be because of my writing style or facts of my life I allude to in my posts. But even there, plausible deniability is likely good enough unless I really piss a lot of people off and drop a lot of personally identifying hints - which would be my own damn fault.
That's why you have tugs to move jets around - back in ww2 the Me226 was towed up to its start point on the runway by a Kitenkrad (and in some cases horses) to save fuel and engine life.

I think the industry was thinking of having electric tugs or motors built into the plane to move passenger jets around on the ground to save the fuel used getting from the stand to the start of the runway.

Not that you're wrong, but passively sniffing SNI's is much more involved than DNS replying with an incorrect IP. Maybe countries highly invested in it like China can do it.
Otto Schily exited office in 2005, fifteen years ago. While he is a law-and-order hardliner himself, he's not relevant for any recent discussions. Since then the office was filled by hardline authoritarians (Schäuble, Maiziere, HP Friedrich, Maiziere, Seehofer).

"All JPEG decoders have chroma upsampling."

Well, I meant better upsampling than bilinear interpolation, which blurs chroma.

"Oh, you can also jointly optimize the YUV-RGB conversion because if the pixel ends up out of range in RGB space it is probably a compression artifact."

Probably not, I suspect that the mozjpeg encoder may use this, so images with black on white text look better (artifact noise go beyond of range).

Hurting someone's privacy is in and of itself harm. Allowing law enforcement unrestricted access exacerbates this problem, however even without that I've already seen quite a few videos (made by ring cameras, or similar) posted, usually without any attempts at anonymization.
Workaround: enable airplane mode and disable WiFi
I’ve always been surprised that RHEL/CentOS 7 doesn't have a simplified server-mode for installing a basic, headless system with a static IP address with an Ethernet connection. The default configuration and prescribed usage is to configure the networking with Network Manager - even though its added complexity is to solve the problems faced by portable computers using Wi-Fi. I’d wager the majority of RHEL/CentOS 7 installations are on static hosts (virtual or physical) rather than mobile devices.
Years ago I recall something with a name like anonyblog [Edit: invisiblog.com -- Thanks!] which accepted account creation and posts by--and only by--pseudonymous email. You remember--that crazy Mixmaster/PGP signed and forwarded stuff? Seemed really powerful for the 'publication' side, but still fragile regarding the hosting side. Admittedly 95% of the pages were various flavors of "OMG IT WORKED!" but that says more about pseudonymous email than anything.

ps. Regarding censorship resistant hosting, the rabbit hole regarding e.g. Freenet is very deep and frankly leads to a hive of villainy.
I'm trying to get into it but don't know what to make. I follow Indie Hackers/Entrepreneur podcasts/wip.chat/etc... now I'm looking into Shopify stuff, make some niche API connector or something... but it will be a time sink to learn their docs/how stuff works on the Shopify aspect. Possible oversaturated market, etc... but I figure if I cruise through the forums/see recurring problems, maybe I can find something to build.

Recently I had a friend who runs a shipping business have me make him a PayPal button generator built into an email template that was mailed out so they could specify a price/tax/name/etc... That was cool, but I would not have come up with that problem on my own as I don't run the particular shipping business he does.
> why people think that because some people are clumsy

Nobody said anything about clumsy people. As one of many examples, look at all the guides that tell folks to disable SIP and don’t explain the risk and really don’t even need to disable SIP, the app should just be fixed properly.

There are exceptions of course and good reasons to disable it, so I’m glad Apple has the option, but I’d venture to say 85% of the time it’s done by a person who isn’t really making an “informed consent”.
Yes, I would recommend a VPN service beyond the jurisdiction of your own government. It is not complete protection, but it is another step. Of course paying them is a transaction that would require the provider to regard local laws, but there are still ways around that. The law will be challenged of course and I hope it will get repelled. Until then this can all help. But yes, be careful with your choice of VPN or host your own.

I'm not a great fan of technical interviews with specific technical questions or coding exercises, probably because I feel like I probably wouldn't do well in them so interview style may be self-selecting in that sense.

What I'd normally do is ask someone to describe what they've done as if they can't describe it well then they're unlikely to understand it properly and I value verbal or written communication highly. I'd also ask them the technical and business reasons for that implementation and what could be improved. I'd start with something as simple as possible and hopefully build up.

I'd perhaps ask them to describe a solution to a difficult but not impossible problem relating to their area of expertise. For instance in SQL I'd ask how to describe how one might write a report that looks like a calendar by selecting all dates for a year and grouping by month, day, week etc. This is something that might take a few hours if you haven't done it before, but you could probably describe the process. If I can't explain a problem like that in 10mins to them we're probably going to struggle to work together.

I'd also ask them about any personal areas of interest. A lot of people in IT in the UK don't have any interest in it outside of work, which is kind of understandable. I wouldn't expect massive github repos or personal projects, but I would expect them to have technical "interests".

VK would probably be your best bet for Russia.

We could keep playing this game forever. Really you'd want a self-hosted site running from an anonymous VPS paid using a cryptocurrency like Monero (these exist) and your domain would use a similar service (say Njalla) or be TOR-exclusive. Alternatively you could go a more classic route and host with SDF (à la http://voidnull.sdf.org/).

Or, if you're really paranoid, you'd give up on the whole thing. Maybe you'd still write but you'd keep it to yourself. As I see it, any interaction is a risk of exposure even if very small.
Well... upvoted for the honesty.

I actually prefer pseudonyms (or the Economist's anonymity/column name policy) in print media.

It could be simple selection bias - perhaps better quality outlets tend to operate under pseudonyms, rather than pseudonyms themselves improving the quality of the publication.

But I speculate that operating under one's real name might increase the propensity to craft and cling to an "identity". That horrible concept of a "personal brand", if you will. You want people to remember you - which means constant soundbites, hammering the same dumbed-down points from the same angles.

There's no respite - it's under your real name, after all - so you slowly subsume yourself into this talking head that you've created. One day, you wake up, and you've completely lost any capacity for impartiality or objectivity.

Pseudonyms also allow multiple people to write the same column. I've long wondered if the Economist engages in this practice (not that I would be critical if they did, it's out of sheer curiosity).
Sry i don't think i get the context?
I.... I think there's been a mistake.

Marketing CPAs, Explained
Look at the history of CDU/CSU interior ministers, both federal and in the states. They are authoritarians, and their party line regarding interior politics is authoritarian.

As for calling them Nazis... well, when one looks at the events regarding former Verfassungsschutz chef Maaßen, instituted by HP Friedrich and protected by successor Seehofer until it was no longer tenable, who is accused of having protected the AfD during his term: it's not that far to at least imply ideological support or tolerance toward far right political positions.
There seems to be a very large elephant missing from that discussion which is the rise of SaaS office suites. Speaking personally, I'm very glad that there is a free software office suite (as well as drawing programs etc.) However, I sincerely hope that collaborating on documents and presentations by mailing them around to people and trying to merge their edits and comments is never again the norm for me. Shared documents are probably a much overlooked enabler for people to work remotely in the current situation.

Added: They do mention LibreOffice Online but that seems like it should be a more central point in the discussion.
This is a point I have been trying to make for a few years now to ever-decreasing amounts of criticism. I think the reality is starting to set in that x86 is actually incredibly powerful, and when you have 64+ parallel copies of that computational facility, you can perform some insane magic. Especially when you start to consider the memory/computation domain you are operating within on CPU when contrasted with a GPU:

With a GPU in the loop, there is an extremely painful hop across PCIe before you can experience any degree of cache coherency. There are protocols, buffering and driver stacks involved. Latency is much higher. You have to plan ahead and think about what memory the GPU needs to mutate vs what memory the CPU needs to mutate. You have to split your application, language, and frameworks across 2 computational domains. How we have tolerated this for so long is beyond me. I think most people who get caught up in it are chasing shiny marketing a lot of the time. This criticism aside, I do think GPUs are still very useful for many applications and users.

With just a CPU, you are looking at L3 as the typical worst case for cache coherency domain. And L3 is getting to be ridiculously large. If your high-performance application's binary image cannot entirely fit within L3 of a modern x86 CPU, you are probably doing something very wrong. The other big advantage with just a CPU is you have 1 cache-coherent memory domain and a single instruction set to answer to. This means you can write 100% of your software in a single language/framework. Well-architected x86 applications can push instructions many times faster than their core clock speed would seem to indicate possible. Using special frameworks that have sympathy with this memory model mean that just a single x86 core can be made to push tens of millions of logical business transactions per second. And then you have 63 other cores to play with. Extremely deep pipelining and OoO execution are what allow for x86 to chew through general purpose computation so easily. Anything with a lot of recursive depth (e.g. raytracing) benefits massively from this style of processor.

I think the next big revolution is developers realizing that they can start porting GPU applications to CPU. Things like raytracing are much better suited for the memory model offered by a pure x86 domain. Sure, a GPU can accelerate some aspects of raytracing, but then you then need to shuttle that information back and forth over a higher latency link, and also fight with 2 completely different technical stacks. Needing to know how to write code for both GPU and CPU is easily the biggest problem with all of this. Especially when you consider how fast GPU APIs move relative to x86. Performance is not the only constraint when dealing with software, especially software as complex as AAA game engines and 3d modeling software. Someone still has to reason with and maintain this stuff over time.
You are confusing social politics, economic politics and interior politics.
