Part of this is not the journalists fault, though. Or it is, but only in the sense that they should be more adversarial.

Very often when I read bad journalism, it's based on a bad academic paper in which the university press or even the paper's abstract has lied about what's actually inside it. To fix this would require journalists to both read and understand the contents of every paper they base a report on. Arguably they need to do that, but, I don't believe that's ever been the standard used before. They generally don't expect "respectable" people like academics, institutional spokespeople etc to flat out lie to them even though it keeps happening.
Ready for that COPY key!
The argument for reparations is not about punishment for past crimes. It is about remediating inequity that still exists today as a result of those crimes.
On a per-flops basis yes. But it all depends on your workload, for some workloads GPUs are a better match than CPUs and vice-versa.
It's hard to disagree with this point, really.

I don't see how you can prevent the police from reading stuff that's being broadcast for everyone else to see.

And threats of violence, or evidence of organizing to cause violence, should be investigated.
I don't understand your analogy of uncharted waters and crashing against rocks.

Did you mean 7 percent of the order perhaps?
I suspect you're just disagreeing on what "keeping tabs" actually means.

The government shouldn't put someone under (specific|personal) surveillance without strong evidence of course. But I don't see what prevents them from reading twitter, going into public chat rooms, etc.

I’m always perplexed by this. Maybe I lack the artistic talent? Paint could never cover any of my use cases. For that it was always too much about … well … painting … which is something I just don’t need on a day to day basis. The painting focus seems completely misguided to most of the typical use cases I can imagine.

My quintessential perfect tool is always the Preview App on macOS:

You can add simple shapes, arrows and text to any images. You can rotate, crop and resize images. You can reorder, rotate, split and merge PDF documents.

That’s all very well tailored to most common use cases. In terms of image editing I guess you can do all that with Paint but it seems clumsy to me. Not really fit for that purpose.

And if I don’t want to mark something up but create something new (which will typically heavily rely on text even if it’s more visual, like a birthday invitation) the text editing is too weak to get anywhere really useful, so for that I would rather use some kind of either text editor or layouting program.
The cellphone killed the wristwatch.
I don’t understand why people think that because some people are clumsy the rest of us have to live in a straight jacket.
Does the browser check?
The entire point of the protest is to express the frustration with lack of prosecution of “bad police”. Countless times, bad police get a slap on the wrist and put back on the force. It’s a system which closes rank whenever any misdeed or crime is committed within the force.
Tor with obfs4 gets around this.
Your attempt to rewrite the 'when I was young and stupid' excerpt, where you missed half the point of the piece, excised most of the words and declared him clearly not a good writer. Despite his writing being the reason he was even getting a nyt profile in the first place. It can't be that his writing speaks to people in a way you don't get, he's obviously a bad writer and all of those public intellectuals who are supporting him are... Not critical enough?

As for unfalsifiable, you claim there are dog whistles in every second sentence SA writes, and dog whistles are, by definition, unfalsifiable. You can claim anyone can see it if they look critically enough because if someone suggests they have looked critically and found nothing, you can simply claim they didn't do it right and mosey on. Dog whistles are also, by the way, fundamentally incompatible with the principle of good faith you claim to want to prosper. It's an interesting conceit, I'll give you that.

It's more than that - NVIDIA invested massively in their software ecosystem and mindshare (e.g. by a huge sponsoring program that saw universities flooded with their hardware).

AMD cards offer comparable compute performance and are sometimes even better. What AMD lacks, though, are ready-to-use software packages like CUDA, cuDNN, cuBLAS, and the like.

NVIDIA basically bought their way into the research community and solidified their strong foothold by keeping CUDA proprietary.

It's fascinating how other companies (Microsoft) get bashed on a regular basis for using the exact same tactics (see Direct3D vs OpenGL on Windows), while people are perfectly fine with NVIDIA doing it...
It also ran on only two routes for most of that time, with all others shut down because airlines lost money operating Concorde on them even without having to pay off the capital costs.

And most likely most Azure customers are already clicking the Linux option. So they can start wrapping support down. And a major version like PHP 8.0 is likely just the perfect moment.
The last few cases that come to mind (Breivik, Tarrant) are from lone wolves that had radical ideas but were not affiliated with any group.

It must be very difficult to catch (unless you want a surveillance society where everyone is suspect).

Exactly, I wanted to make sure people realize she was picked as a human being that is suited to the role. Without consideration for any other metric.
What's the problem? At least the message for discontinuing PHP on Windows from version 8 going forward is clear and unambiguous. At the same time, WSL2 has made massive strides to bring Linux workloads to Windows in a way that doesn't require developers to handle all-too-well-known Windows compat issues (such as file names, file locking, CP/M era drive letters LOL). MS is only accepting the fact that, for most intents and purposes (except maybe MSO/sharepoint and other MS-only apps), almost all backend apps are developed for Linux or other Unix (but mostly Linux) anyway. I'd imagine many PHP and also Node.js apps won't work on Windows native OOTB anyway because of dependencies on Unix-like file conventions and third-party software, such as for running shell scripts. If you want to run popular PHP-based apps (like, idk, Magento), you buy into an ecosystem of "plugins" (such as for payments and delivery) and additional apps that usually work in a narrow setting anyway (for example, require config files at fixed or default locations), and trying to run these on Windows is the last thing you care about when setting up a shop and struggling to make it work at all in a best-practice way to avoid trouble or even liabilities going forward.
Well... price-wise, in lots of Europe, taking a plane is cheaper..

What really made the difference for me is that the 4-5 hour train ride is done after 4 to 5 hours. My 1 hour flight starts 3 to 3.5h before the flight to get to the airport and through security and at the destination, after de-boarding, I'll spend another hour for security and to get from the airport to my actual destination.

They do seem to apply it selectively. Scalia was like "It maybe a good idea but it's against the consitution. If the people want it, elect congress to make an amendment/pass a new law".

Now it's like "Well, it's not strictly in the constitution, but we like the idea, so if we squint a bit we can probably make a tenous case for it."
> > They did, they made it such an issue that their legislators ended up ratifying a constitutional amendment.

Yes, technically—and in every other way—they did.

No, it wasn’t. The Senate doesn't approve Constitutional Amendments, state legislatures do.

The Houses of Congress, together, can propose Amendments, but they aren't needed for that, either.

How could any reporter, especially one writing for a publication called "airlineratings", not research the topic at hand? It is widely known in the aviation community that the Soviet union flew the supersonic TU-144 even before the Concorde flew.
A similar system was attempted in the UK. The controversial part here was that there would be some central body with potential knowledge of the sites you visit associated with your passport/credit card/ official license. In addition the potential for fraud in spoofing the verification process etc...

There was much humorous satire e.g. calling the Queen for access to porn. Before some tech contracts fell through and the whole system was abandoned at the end of the Theresa May government.

While it's hard to miss some big events, all of the little developments, best practices, cool libraries and tools are key to making you and your company grow and stay relevant.

How do you do to stay up to date ?

For me, it's mostly a ton of RSS feeds from tech company blogs, a few domain-specific newsletters... And HN of course.

One half of Sleeping Giants leaving the movement
Hi, jakearmitage. As a senior engineer that was able to get jobs/visa sponsorship abroad more than once I feel I can give you the following pieces of advice:

- Start with what kind of job you would love to have. Do you want to work for a blockchain startup? maybe a gaming one? Or fintech? It may be something you never did, don't limit yourself.

- If you don't have a Github project related to what you want to do, create one. Put a lot of emphasis on the README of the project and on code quality.

- Read a relevant book before starting looking for the job. That alone will give you a lot of stuff to talk about and it's going to be really fresh in your mind. People that read books have much more chances of standing out.

- Create 2 or 3 generic CVs and do customize them when applying for a job. I used to customize mainly the top paragraph(s) of the CV I use to introduce myself. Describe your skills and interests from the perspective of that particular job.

- Regarding CV style, I'd prefer a sober and minimalistic one. Google "best fonts for CVs 2020" and pick up one you like.

- Highlight keywords so it's much easier to understand your skills at first glance.

- Don't just list technologies but also explain in a higher level what you have achieved.

- Nowadays there are ML-based tools that analyze and even discard your CV before a human takes a look at it. Glassdoor had some time ago a CV analyzer that literally gave me hints that allowed me landing a job, after simply changing a bit its wording my CV got much more visibility. Find some of those tools and give them a try, if the feedback you get is reasonable edit your CV accordingly and see what happens.

- Have a lot of interviews! If it's difficult for you to get them (which I doubt if you are a principal engineer already), apply for jobs that you would just take in an emergency situation and sit those interviews. At some point I was having like 2-3 interviews a day. That helped me be sharp on selling myself after some weeks and that is crucial!

And that would be it, I hope this helps. Good luck with your search!
Very nice read, thanks for posting it!!!

I also learned a lot from the various JPEG articles on ImpulseAdventure (no affiliation), e.g.:

> 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?

As a kid, I was able to figure out limewire, Emule, torrents and I'm sure kids today will be able to download a free vpn or use similar tools I used as a preteen to figure out how to circumvent these pointless blocks. I started with free video samples and only moved onto methods by high school to get access to premium websites. As a human, our strength is not only the ability to do these things but to also teach others to do it. I was able to help my friends to get access as well. If one ape discovered fire it would die with them, but our ability to spread information, like a virus is what gives humanity intelligence. One kid like me at school is all it takes to make this stupid law useless.

Adult websites want brownie points and also don't like nonpayers, but mess with their revenue and you'll get a push back.
In my experience the search on MDN sucks, and I usually get much better MDN results by searching for "mdn <searchterm>" on DDG than I get for "<searchterm>" on mdn.
Because NVIDIA did not do anything illegal - so far. MS is a convicted monopolist that actively went after competitors rather than just to let the market decide. What NVIDIA has done so far is perfectly fine in my book, paying companies not to use competitor hardware, funding third party lawsuits and stealing IP, the browser wars and so on are things that Microsoft has done.

> In the first month and a half as a paid app, its been able to generate $42 in sales!

So being #7 for sales in a whole category on Apple's all store (famously the easier market in which to make money as compared to Android) means only $42 in sales? Are the economics of making apps really this tough?

Maybe that's why everyone just tries to make a game app? Is that the only way to make money?
The 'ip' command only operates on runtime state (it doesn't save anything to disk).

NetworkManager used to be configured to save it's config to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts on Fedora, for backwards compatibility (see /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf).

/etc/network/interfaces is the Debian alternative to network-scripts. I don't use Debian based distros much so I don't know too much about that.

There's also systemd's networkd, which has it's own config in /etc/systemd/network.

Honestly I'm surprised you've got a Fedora machine with networkd. Usually NetworkManager has been the goto choice (and is what my Fedora 32 install has, although this install has been upgraded from Fedora 23 so take that for what it's worth).

Most of this mess comes from ifconfig (which again, only operated on runtime state), which people then wrote scripts around to automate the setup of the networks. Then ip came along to access networking features that ifconfig couldn't.

You best off sticking to NetworkManager (in my opinion) for desktop usage. It has a far better GUI integration than networkd (which is fine for server/embedded use).

Even more perverse, there seems to be a broad sense that this is the way things should be. This is one of the secret strengths of right-wing populism. You can see it when tabloids whip up resentment against tube workers for paralysing London during contract disputes: the very fact that tube workers can paralyse London shows that their work is actually necessary, but this seems to be precisely what annoys people. It's even clearer in the US, where Republicans have had remarkable success mobilizing resentment against school teachers, or auto workers (and not, significantly, against the school administrators or auto industry managers who actually cause the problems) for their supposedly bloated wages and benefits. It's as if they are being told ‘but you get to teach children! Or make cars! You get to have real jobs! And on top of that you have the nerve to also expect middle-class pensions and health care?’

Checking that the output is sorted is the easy part.

Checking that the output is a (optionally stable) permutation of the input is the hard part. You can't do that dynamically if you have, for example, overwritten your input by sorting in place. And making a copy of your input is only going to be affordable in very specific and small instances on which you might as well just run a well-understood algorithm.

Websites that don’t follow the new AV laws will have to sanctioned. If the website is local, you can go ‘round to their office and arrest the owners. Lock ‘em up and throw away the key, it being the only language they understand etc.

However, if the website is not local then it must be blocked, either by statute, by the courts, or by a regulator.

This may require a National Firewall to block sites (eg The PRC.) As a bonus, your blocking infra can also be used for monitoring and logging.

If you’re lucky though the nation state will implement its Great Firewall using a borked DNS infra (eg The UK) that isn’t even mandatory for ISPs with a small enough userbase.
