With busy polling you basically halve the SMT sibling thread's memory bandwidth. But yeah it might work well for a specific usecase anyway.
It would be news if they quantified it.

Like: 1% of people use data to bullshit

Or like: 99% of people use data to bullshit

But perhaps they are simply afraid to provide the actual data because people will use it to bullshit ...
Probably more dangerous, nitrogen tetroxide is mostly strong oxidizer... while hydrazine is carcinogenic.
Only governments censor, what you're talking about is editorial policy. However, Zuck doesn't want to risk Facebook's §230 protection which is the door that the hammerers are behind.

It's not a Pandora's box, though, because these laws have been around for decades and centuries. But they don't want to, they haven't built the tools to do so, and they make money from it. It's the same as their rationale around moderation in general: "well we built this to be wide open and have zero tools to control it, and now it's just too complicated to do so!"

It's like building a car without brakes and saying "Look, congressperson, we're in the business of helping people get to wherever they want to go. We don't think it's our place to dictate the speed of travel, and there are many companies making brakes for these cars, for people who want them. Competition!"
Given any explicit sequence of real numbers, it's always possible to generate a number not in that sequence. In fact, this can be done algorithmically using essentially Cantor's method.

I mean, if you look on the privacy.com website, the only 3rd-party request is Google Fonts. Personally, the privacy tradeoff is worth being able to pull a font from the cache, even though I understand that the same doesn't apply to everyone
Perhaps you should turn off the touchscreen so you don’t accidentally trigger it.
I would think that it will be duly included in the company's financial statements, so that the material impact of this overall is duly reported. But obviously there will be no reference to any ransom.

I would also suspect that they never paid any ransom. They probably only paid consulting fees to security/ransomware experts (wink wink).

Oddly enough, the West conceded this battle against the Muslim world to some degree. We are exhausted from that debate. The Muslim world mostly believes in their own bullshit, thankfully we bowed out from that fight.

We need to bow out in the same manner with the debate against the East. There’s a billion people, if they don’t want free uncensored Internet, who are we to say anything? If they wanted it, they’d have it. They know the ins and outs of the idiosyncrasies of their society, the same way the west does (how the west reconciles virtual slave labor to maintain it’s lifestyle of affordable luxuries (everything from food to clothes to electronics)).

But, there is a new issue. Slavery in America was considered the ‘peculiar’ institution. Surveillance state is something we have to ignore, similar to, I don’t know, making your women wear varieties of face coverings (Islam), we have to accept they are acclimated to the mental gymnastics required to sustain their pride. Whatever. We shouldn’t waste our energy on that, it’s a losing battle.

But, the ‘peculiar’ institutions are the things we need to probe. A repeat of pre-extermination Holocaust in China is a no go. I hope the examination keeps up, and I hope we retroactively apply this new spirit to some of the trespasses that occurred in Palestine as well.

Thanks for sharing. The HBO produced Chernobyl is one of a very few "really, really good" things I've ever watched. It kept my attention, my wife's, and my kid's. And we are very different people, with vastly different interests.
Thanks. Two new terms to google.
Oh, right! I focused on the representation (which remains tied to the computed number) bit and forgot about the impact on taxes (which are no longer).

To the degree that increasing that fraction from 3/5 would raise the taxes paid by slave holders, it is not "pro slavery".

Having said that, IIUC, the restriction only applied to "direct taxes" whereas the bulk of US Federal Government revenue at the time was from tariffs and excise, and in any case was a much smaller portion of GDP than today (although to some degree that extends to representation as well, as a limitation of the power being controlled).

My general point stands that the great injustice was all the ways we were treating people as 0/5th of a person, not that we could have taxed some states a little more or given them a bit more power.

>The petition posted on change.org by a high school student claims

So that whole thing was over something a high school student originally posted?

Not to generalize, but basing business decisions based on something a teenager posted on a website isn't necessarily going to lead to the best decisions.
First off, that link doesn't work.

Second off, nothing says "legitimate charity" like a "Maryland" organization whose phone number is from Nigeria.

Unless it's also a non-cryptographic hash then I don't see how a timing attack does anything interesting here. Timing will potentially tell you how many bytes of the hash match. But finding a password that produces a hash that matches the first N bytes does not help you find a password that matches the N+1th byte, so you're still just left with a brute force attack.

What am I missing? (Genuinely curious - I'm not a crypto expert)
This is pretty much what happens on high-performing teams, but not quite how you seemed to present it.

1. Expectations are set at a reasonable level, not a “jump when I say jump, damn it!” level.

2. If someone is not meeting expectations, people check in to see if they can help. If something is not working consistently, then adjustments to the process need to be made. Occasionally the issue is the person in the job — that is, they can’t do it. This is a hiring issue that will need to be addressed. They need to be put in a position they can succeed in or they need to be removed.
Yes. And the harder problem (if this weren’t hard enough) is getting the ballots delivered to voters in the first place.
If not worse. The current system of capitalism already feels quite feudalism like in that the "peasants" have very little chance of escaping.

Developments like these will just turn that up to 11
Equality of opportunity is really close to equality of outcome. If two groups are offered the same opportunity, but one is pressured to take it and the other is pressured to take something else, the opportunity is the same but the fact that the outcomes are different speaks to something else going on, like the pressures in my example. Given the history we have, inequal outcomes can pretty frequently be directly tied to issues that still don't provide the kinds of agency we want. I think of it as equal opportunity being a lever, while equal outcome is a measurement.

For example, suppose you find some data about outcomes in different groups with covariate X. Maybe there's an outcome gap between groups which goes away when you account for X. That doesn't mean the disparity in outcomes is fair. It just punts that question to a new question of whether the disparity in X is fair. And so on.
The button in the bottom left corner of individual rule pages is almost sadistic: "Do you want to scroll down a screen to view actual content you already clicked for - or find and click the button in the place your cursor spends the least time at?"
Edit: also I will never click the social links on the right, because they are absolutely unreadable to me.
Seems main reason was political advertising for one of the candidates
> Don’t create any file backed writable memory mappings

If you have to create a writable file-backed memory mapping, open it in /dev/shm or /dev/hugepages. You can mount your own hugetlbfs volume with the right permissions.

Creating a big-ass single-writer ring buffer in a series of mapped hugetlb pages is a great way to give downstream code some breathing room. You can have multiple downstream programs, each on its own core, map it read-only, and start and stop them independently. Maintain a map of checkpoints farther back in the ring buffer, and they can pick up again, somewhere back, without missing anything.
It's not difficult, it's the exact same kind of decision they decline to make with regard to advertising. These days that refusal lives mostly in political and health messaging, but we can see that they don't refuse in a lot of other subjects.
If there is no permanent COVID immunity, a vaccine won't give it to you either and we might as well stop delaying the inevitable now.

Think about a regulation being passed that says if you allow user generated content, you must have a system in place to prevent copyright infringement. Would a startup be able to design such a system? It would give FB and Google an advantage.
>The Santa Hat on vscode insiders and pushing of religion is very offensive to me, additionally xmas has cost millions of Jews their lives over the centuries, yet even if that was not the case, pushing religious symbols as part of a product update is completely unacceptable. Please remove it immediately and make it your top priority. To me this is almost equally offensive as a swastika.

That comment...it's really hard not to take that as a troll comment...
Hopefully you'd at least have the sense not to get between the recovery vessel and the spaceship.
I don't want to share and talk with my neighbors. I don't know my neighbors names and I don't want to know. That's why my lockdown project was an anti-social solitary endeavor that can be appreciated alone in darkness. Lockdown didn't make me miss social contact. It made me appreciate solitude.
A lot of commenters here are upset about the "extra" boats that showed up during capsule recovery. Calling those people idiots and other pejoratives. OK. I mean yeah, I saw the Trump flag too.

But... is military security really the answer? Exlusion zones in international waters for private company missions? The people on this forum saying the Coast Guard or navy should have been running security are the same ones saying that our police forces are too heavy handed and militarized. And now they want guns and military aggression when handling a private space craft recovery?

The extra boats backed off immediately when told to, and as far as I can tell they were "peaceful". Shouldn't they have every right to assemble in international waters? Aren't we saying that peaceful assembly is a constitutional right in the US?
I recommend go instead of chess, for the same reasons.

I played chess for years, learned go, and haven’t looked back. I personally prefer it.

YMMV
1) Think hard about things that you have to work at in order to understand
2) Engage in exercise that regularly includes anaerobic intensity
3) Sleep well and deeply

Learning is brain growth that occurs as a result of thinking, largely during rest and sleep following the activity. Exercise will increase the amount of growth that occurs (mentally and physically), and good cardiovascular health is effectively the same thing as good brain health

And, maybe obviously, practice the brain teasers and interview questions. They are a skill that is not the same thing as being mentally sharp
> I read fiction on a Kindle oasis. Its fantastic. I can't think of a single improvement.

I have one and I can. The case is too slippery. It's hard to operate one-handed while lying on the couch because it slips out of your hand. My old Kindle 3 is very easy to operate one-handed at any angle, no slipping.
>Every physical thing is particular. No abstract thing is particular. Therefore, no abstract thing is physical.

But abstract things can supervene on the physical. Information, for example, is abstract, but it supervenes on some physical stuff. Granted, information is not identical to any particular instantiation, but the abstract pattern can be manifested by a particular physical instantiation. You're welcome to call information immaterial if you like, but it presents no metaphysical difficulties for physicalism.

>Stubborn, dyed-in-the-wool materialists like the Churchlands or Dennett, instead of rethinking their presuppositions, have resorted to the pathetic tactic

Why are non-materialists so fucking angry? Incivility doesn't help your cause. If your arguments were good they would stand on their own without embellishment.
Added to cart! But in similar vein, do you know if UX writing is a viable career? If so, how would one get into it? What should be on one's portfolio?
Do we? There seems to be plenty of research that shows covid19 can survive on hard surfaces for >24 hours. I have not seen anything that says transmission by this method is not possible or even that it is just anecdotal.

Is that right? From the Nvidia docs:

"To use CUDA on your system, you will need the following installed: A CUDA-capable GPU"

There might be some open source projects that support CUDA Kernels on the CPU but the ones I've found are all abandoned.
I often see the second law being broken by the first (or a misinterpretation of it): in the eagerness to make the site look beautiful, the designer make it slow, either deliberately with animations, either inadvertently by increasing load times.

Also, I commonly see Miller's and Zeigarnik Effect being disregarded: although our working memories are not so great, we possess some and we can retain some basic information about our workflow. Then, IMHO there's more harm than good in putting a lot of visual clues, drawers, panes over panes etc. so that navigation is "improved".

Speaking particularly about form-based enterprise applications, I keep thinking that some important empirically learned lessons from the last 40 years are simply being thrown away. Simple, correct and, most important, FAST interfaces trumps everything else, even if it's a TUI.

Oh, and regular users also can and ENJOY using the keyboard -- a tool which is being deprecated in this mistake of trying to create a uniform experience between desktop and mobile.
> Just because someone has a different opinion to yours doesn't make them an "apologist".

When people dismiss the harm caused by the 30% tax, the lack of other ways to install software, the draconian rules and enforcement, the pain of developing for two completely different platforms, and the erosion of web tech, it's hard to see them as empathetic colleagues.

We're being shaken down here. It hurts. And we're mad.
I remember drinking fridge cleaner with friends in college.

Had the producers lied about their product we'd have been badly hurt.

Had they changed the contents and we didn't carefully re-check every thing we'd be badly hurt.

This is what we are fighting here.

It's not about getting it on your hands.
I think the developer should be able to explicitly disable the fallback, but I'd really like it to be enabled by default. I don't trust developers to think about weird hardware configurations, and I'd like the software to do what it can to (hopefully) keep working instead of just locking me out.

Short answer: yes, we will see another financial crisis. Probably in fall 2020. In terms of economic cycle, covid was just bad luck and did not lead to corrections - on the contrary.

To make myself eligible for some precog society I say we will see a major downturn worldwide in Oct 2020.
The author states:

>"Hyper-threading (HT) or Simultaneous multithreading (SMT) is a technology to maximize processor resource usage for workloads with low instructions per cycle (IPC)"

I had actually not heard this before regarding SMT. What is the significance of low IPC type in regards to the design of SMT? How does one determine if their workload is a low IPC workload?
>Not sure that this is an apples to apples comparison.

Not only is it a bad comparison, the causality works the exact other way around. If the accident rate was higher than some acceptable standard X, then autopilot would be turned off because that's literally the definition under which automation isn't tolerated.
Pointing out the ethnicity make it appear as if you think that is the root cause of the problem.
It’s a dynamic rescue operation so you could easily end up in the way. It’s also a space ship so there’s toxic fuel and gasses involved.

So lots of obvious problems and probably a few more that are less obvious.

To be fair, the French men also routinely pee on buildings and alleys in public. Your observations of Spain puzzle me though. I always found the Spanish to be exceptionally festidious people with remarkably clean streets.
Oh, one can clearly hear that is off-pitch. It's not some skill or talent that people are born though, it definitely can be trained.

I was going to recommend you to look into the Philips Golden Ears Challenge, but it seems that they shamefully took it down. It was this website that went at lengths to show you different aspects of sound reproduction and you could make a ton of different A/B tests for things like coloring, compression artifacts, sound stage and tonality.

When I finished it, I worried for a while this was going to ruin music for me and that I would become some kind of audiophile snob. Turns out the opposite happened. The ear training was very helpful to learn to separate the "good enough" from the "great" and the "great" from the "good-but-overpriced-audiophile-bait". I could get the $1000+ gear from a colleague who loved to spend money on audio stuff, give him an honest assessment about it and still go back contently to my $70 headphones, playing on my DIY amp and sourced from a $5 USB board...
We end up doing a lot of back-of-the-envelope calculations for various odds-and-ends. I keep a 4’ long teaching slide-rule next to my desk for this purpose. New employees are befuddled. Everyone else just accepts it as a fact-of-life when asking for my help.
If it turns out that we're in fact in a simulation, does that make you any less real than you think you are? Does that make you want to break the law? Does that make you want to ignore ethics? Does that make any difference in our lives?

Funny you should mention that. I usually watch old movies with the closed captioning on, and it's clear the captioning isn't even proofread. Lots of times it will be a sound-alike word that doesn't fit in the sentence. Perhaps they employ non-native English speakers to type in the text.

My tip would be to keep a pad of paper on your desk and jot out ideas before implementing them.

Use the pad of paper as much as possible and then you get practice in converting thoughts into pictograms. Because you draw for only for yourself there is no fear of failure.

Its actually quite natural -- we used to live in caves and we drew pictures of the animals we would hunt.

Edit: I used to be terrible with whiteboards.
