Jermey, this sounds great! I now have several servers at our loft with GPUs, to run training and avoid noise from the laptop. You helped me have a good experience learning machine learning and enjoying learning+solving new problems.

My output from my new powers are several papers together with others and solved problems within the green tech energy market. We detect and forecast usage within timeseries data (energy consumptions).

Keep doing what you are doing! And thank for all the hours you put down into this.

It was not meant as nationalistic. But point taken, it can read across that way.
I surely would pay, as long as it's not behind a paywall. Much like with Wikipedia.

The value of MDN is very much in its being a public good.
I dislike that people think that landing pages and good copy == marketing. Those are tools that sometimes apply to good marketing, but marketing itself is just getting the right message to the right people. That can be honest communication, just saying that you have a product that solves a problem. It doesn't have to be a landing page... it doesn't even have to be online. Talking is marketing. Radio is marketing. Print is marketing. Conference booths, giving out business cards, sharing your story.

Even online, your web site / landing page are not your marketing... they are where your marketing sends people to convert them into leads to hand-off to sales.

If there is anything I do despise, it is the attitude of "If you build a landing page, they will come."

This comment conflates pretty much everything it mentions:

- Intel GPUs support mediated virtualization passthrough through GVT-G not SR-IOV

- Nvidia blocks passthrough as a feature gatekeep in the driver. You can work around this block by hiding some info from the guest (the hacks mentioned). Consumer Nvidia cards do not support SR-IOV, special models that do require the proprietary driver and a license to SR-IOV (no hacks to workaround this)

- AMD works fine under passthrough but requires specific models for SR-IOV (though this works on the official open driver). SR-IOV is still unstable.

- None of this is really relevant to the original topic
I have always thought of them as a staffing agency.
Some feedback for you:

* The features you're advertising are compelling! Pinning and conclusions are very interesting.

* As I read through this announcement, perused the website, and watched the demo on YouTube I was nearly driven to madness trying to understand how Plum Mail relates to email. It's not email, but it uses email addresses, has an inbox, and lets me email people. The cognitive dissonance I experienced reminded me of the old SNL sketch That's Not Yogurt[1]. If this truly isn't email, I suggest trying to be crisper about what why that's the case.

I think that’s too simplistic. Eastern medicine is based a lot on observation. Their explanation may be questionable but the observations are often very useful.
You determining how much you will pay someone for a project you wa't done does not make him a contractor, but it does make him your employee. Gotcha. I think this conversation is pointless, because you don't know the requirements for being an employee, and are assumint that if something doesn't fit your made up definition of contractor, you're an employee by default. This is quite false.

Knowing how much you get paid does not make you a contractor. It makes you an employee. The logic you are using to prove someonenis an emoloyee is what is actually proving they are a contractor. I won't read your reply, because this conversation is stuck in a loop of you proving yourself wrong with the same statement. I wish we could just block people on here. That is what would increase quality of content, instead of ding-dong-dang using this forum to make himself feel better about his loser life.

I moved to Ubuntu for political reasons outside the fault of gentoo. I really miss the ability to easily patch core libs with custom patches, and portage (when it worked) was a lot easier to deal with than apt.
FWIW, my current estimates are that roughly 50% of all React apps use Redux.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess that maybe 1/3 of those Redux-using apps probably aren't really benefiting from Redux (things like using it _just_ to avoid prop-drilling when you could just use Context, writing reducers that are nothing more than `return action.payload` with no real logic, etc).

We've always had an entry in our FAQ section that gives some advice for when it might make sense to put a particular piece of state into Redux vs keeping it in component state. As I rewrite the Redux docs piece by piece, I'm trying to add some additional clarification and emphasis on when you should actually consider using Redux overall.
All the tiny pieces could be traced in an automated way. It’s probably the lack of regulation that lets exchanges get away with not implementing better anti-laundering mechanisms.
No you build your own gnu/linux...from scratch.
Systems in real life are complex. Limiting them to just one dimension on which they are efficient may leave out factors that make them work at all, or just better.

But if you really know every and all components and criteria that may be applied to them, you might improve efficience. Good luck with that.
Except there's not even any claim or confirmation about which group performed the attack, though one is suspected according to the article.
Yes there is one for close friends. It's called Threads.

Cheating complaint in India unearths Chinese online gambling scam worth millions

Companies like Google and Facebook have paid up to $50K for single bug reports. Ultimately the problem is that regardless of the effort you put in your earnings are likely going to be $0, due to the sheer amount of randomization and luck involved, which makes it unlikely that anyone will leave their full time job for it.
Wikipedia doesn't "need" to appeal to users for donations. They currently have more money than they'll ever need to develop wiki and to run wikipedia. They do that so they can add more staff and more projects. Which is a mistake IMO, they should stay focused on what they do well, in turn they need a smaller amount of money every year, and because of that they could take their current principal stuff it in a trust fund, and fund themselves virtually forever. Of course Mozilla could have/should have done the same thing: stay focused on the browser, forget all the other crap like FirefoxOS and save money to put in a trust fund and eventually achieve some org level financial freedom. That wouldn't be as cool tho.

Mozilla's contract with google was just renewed, and is roughly the same amount of money they were making before. COVID had essentially no impact on their finances, and this is all corporate PR bullshit.
Show HN: Quick search and preview your audio files
Very cool.

Military installations that exploit natural features are always interesting. It reminds me of some of the aircraft hangars used by the Swiss air force - carved right into the mountains.

Of course it will- autonomous aircraft that can zigzag to counter threats.
In contexts like construction or sports referring to an all male group as "girls" or "ladies" is derisive or, at the very least, sarcastic. It's interesting to consider the implications of that.

Would you pay $5/mo to support it, even if it were fully public? or only if it goes private?

I'm pretty sure a "good enough" alternative would pickup the visibility, such as w3schools, and many won't be able to justify the expense of there isn't some kind of exclusivity.

(there could be some sort of member/sponsor program, but having tried to run those, they have alot of overhead)

Hi everyone, recently GDC released 50+ GB[1] of free sound effects. As I'm doing some game development and need to find some sounds, I made this simple tool that let's you search for sound and preview them in a single page.
click load, select all your audio files, then just search.

when you click on a result it will create a preview of that sound, click again and it will go away.

hope you like it.

I think what we're actually going to see is something like assistant drones that go with the pilot. So using the f35 as a command&control system to give orders to the ai drones. And/or just have them backthem up in combat anyway.

The issue with AI is that combat can change so quickly. It's hard to make the right calls.

Let the AI handle Air to Air defense while the human pilots take out what targets they can read by their discretion etc.
How the Criterion Collection Crops Out African-American Directors
It's not a binary opposition. In control theory you can make a system unconditionally stable, or you can allow a little oscillation around the ideal, or you can make it unconditionally unstable so the tiniest hint of noise drives it to an extreme.

In some systems you want to generate constant oscillations, so your system can be in stable perpetual dynamic equilibrium producing a nice sine wave.
Thank you. Keen to agree with the point that email is useful and good at in the right place but groups certainly needs work!
As I said, if they make specific effort they will succeed. The current scheme can be broken by returning a number of different IPs instead of one or two. I think my proposal has a nice balance between making ISPs put in non-trivial effort and not putting a lot of load on the root servers.

> The problem with his style is that he parades himself as an expert but he's emphatically not an expert

Erm... I've been a Redux maintainer since mid-2016. I oversaw development of React-Redux v5 and v6, wrote v7 by myself, and directed development of the hooks API in v7.1 over the course of multiple 250+-comment issue threads.

I've written the Redux FAQ, "Structuring Reducers" usage guide, the "Style Guide" best practices page, almost all of the Redux Toolkit docs, and the new 25K-word "Redux Essentials" real-world tutorial.

I've written about 150K words of Redux-related blog posts, including tutorials, history, technical architecture, and best practices.

I've given multiple conference talks on how Redux works and how to use it.

Even if you don't agree with the approaches I'm recommending that folks use...

if _I_ don't qualify as an "expert" on this topic, who _does_? :)

If you have actual substantive technical arguments for other approaches we should be recommending, please feel free to open up an issue to discuss them. I'm genuinely always interested in ways we can make it easier for people to learn and use Redux.

Well it's exactly what happened here.

> The university said its staff restored from backups; however, the ransomware gang threatened to release student-related data online, which, in turn, made university management re-think their approach towards not paying the attackers.

The university is paying them not to release the data, but it has no way of forcing them to delete it.
Very surprised to see that trillion dollar lawyers addressing judges still use lazy analogies like “it’s just like shoplifting.”
Yes I also did this years ago. During that time I was actually also fascinated by the idea of building my own OS - which I never did though. But if you do this, you really understand how "GNU Linux" works end-to-end and stumble over a lot of interesting things with the upside of having a system tailored to your setup.

I started using Linux when it was still necessary to compile your own Kernel to support literally anything going beyond the absolute base setup.

The most difficult parts were bootstrapping the system and getting the glibc stuff right. The rest is indeed rather robotic, although I think there is some kind of package manager now included.
I guess YMMV.

I use Nvidia with proprietary drivers, and I have only one minor problem (the windows of some open programs get corrupted on resume). I also have Intel on my laptop and have no problems at all (I had an issue in the past, but I've solved it by updating the drivers).

Nouveau is definitely a "dumpster fire", if one wants to put it that way, but that's pretty much openly caused by Nvidia.

To be clear, I don't use pretty much any 3D though, so I can only speak for "typical office usage".

"lost cargo" a win10 demo in 4kb
I followed this during winter break my first year of college and loved it! Helped me learned Linux and co. pretty quickly and I used the machine as my main computer for the next 3.5 years of college.

Once you get X and google chrome it becomes pretty self sustainable. Updating the kernel is easy but upgrading the compiler / C library is a nightmare.

A lot of programs you might want to use provide binaries that makes things a bit easier, but there were some annoying days of dependency chasing if you have to install from source. I ended up writing some custom scripts to ./configure, make, and make install into a deb from .tar.gz.

About the initial LFS process, I had messed up a few steps pretty bad, and had to restart / go back one or two times. The worst mistake was embarking on the journey first by installing everything into a USB flash drive. Eventually data corruption / loss ruined the yacc binary (or similar? hard to remember) and I spent days trying to figure out what went wrong. After moving to an SSD it worked better :)

Definitely one of my favorite and most rewarding projects I've done.
I don’t think anyone will quit their job for it but it will influence the decision of “play flight simulator or hack on targets”

This is why you need to invest in people and training. The likelihood of finding someone that knows your specific blend of technologies is slim, but there are plenty of people that are willing to learn.

Now that I think about it, I don't quite remember the number of pedestrians on the streets this century. I think it is slightly higher now compared to then, but the total number of people outside is definitely higher.

Reading the sibling comment, with constant population, this probably boils down to lifestyle choices. Do people live farther away from workplaces now? Are businesses more centralized/spread out? What would have to change to recover the lost freedom from traffic while keeping the population content?
Facebook Braces Itself for Trump to Cast Doubt on Election Results

Because for drugs, the semi-competent lawman goes after you. If it's for my child's life, there's no point going after me. I'd go to prison for life for that. You can't apply prison as a deterrent, you can't use it to prevent me from harming others, and honestly, you can relate to me.
Sure, Iranians in Iran were responsible for events in Iran. Just as Indonesians in Indonesia were responsible for events in Indonesia. And so on, for forty other nations. 20th-century history rhymes. There's always another fool ready to answer CIA's call. Luis Fernando Camacho is a recent example. Nationalism is overrated, but it's better than CIA-toadyism.

Maybe Mossadeqh wasn't perfect? He was elected by Parliament and appointed by the Shah. He was removed from office via royal decree dictated to the Shah by CIA reptile Donald Wilber. In the aftermath his supporters were executed by General Zahedi. This is all public knowledge now. What is your beef? Should the British get more credit? OK, let's give them credit for asking Eisenhower to do the thing, after Truman had refused them.

Assuming you're referring to Razmara or Mansur, it's interesting to learn that Fada'iyan-e Islam were run by UK "orientalist" spooks. I'm sure you could teach us lots of other interesting things, if you cared to do so.

I had a lot of fun doing this. You really get a feel for the evolution of build systems -- from older software that uses automake/make to newer programs that use meson/ninja/cmake etc. It was also cool to learn how to bootstrap a bespoke set of development tools tuned for your hardware.

It took me a solid weekend to get everything built. I was able to get a basic LFS system built on a Saturday, and on Sunday I did the "Beyond Linux From Scratch" edition. At one point I got stuck trying to debug a weird interaction between systemd and PAM that took me a while to unravel. That was humbling, I thought I knew just about everything about Linux, but turns out there are large areas where I just don't have a clue.

The docs are well written and maintained, so there wasn't a lot of frustration there. Even if you're not an old hand at Linux you can likely get pretty far by just diligently following the instructions.

I struggled a lot more trying to make a decent desktop environment than I did getting the OS setup. I spent so much time trying to get a nice-looking toolbar (polybar) and basic stuff (like how patched fonts work) took me an embarrasingly long time to sort out. I also didn't know what a compositor was, or why you might want one. I enjoyed figuring out the basics of compton, which allowed me to get cool transparent backgrounds on windows[0], although I never did quite figure out how to get rounded corners.

> Only if you define local interest as purely financially motivated <...> social status is not only dependent on wealth

For an awful lot of people, it basically is - I mean, practically the entire field of finance and professional management would look at the example I gave and say, "that's exactly the right thing to do." Mitt Romney's entire professional career follows that principle, and it's largely seen as a net positive to his political career (as a Republican).

I agree with you, I think it's an enormously damaging philosophy, both to the bearer and to the rest of us, but again, it may be locally optimal.
I haven’t done LFS, but I have built minimal Linux systems from scratch as part of my day job. FWIW, building a _basic_ usable system is fairly trivial, and requires no where near the amount of work described in LFS.

I could see value in building a basic Linux from scratch. Beyond that you are just copy pasting commands from READMEs for hundreds of projects.
It wasn't even an accurate analogy. Compared apples to oranges. Heh.
You can cloak your phone number & not allow others to reach you via your phone number. Which means that the authorities cannot match your phone number to your Telegram identity, even if you posted in a public chat. This feature was implemented last year during Hong Kong protests to protect against government efforts to identify protestors by enumerating the limited phone number space in HK. There is also a password option to protect against SMS surveillance.

As to whether Telegram itself would cooperate with data requests from your government - that depends on which government it is, and in the end is up to personal judgement. I don't think there's any reason that Telegram would betray me to the Chinese government, for example, while I won't at all trust Facebook for that. Facebook, and Zuckerberg himself (for how long did he stick to that Wuzhen avatar?), tried hard to appease the Chinese government for such a long time.

International megacorp are generally the worst to trust in that respect. To many of us in authoritarian places, the illegality of Telegram is itself an attraction.
That's because there's jury and in the US in some states you don't even need legal education to be a judge so in general it's a good practice to translate technical terms into laymen and 5th grader language, if you actually want to convince them about your point.

Naturally lawyers exaggerate or manipulate the words ... they're not there to gain justice (although that's their intended purpose) but they're paid to get the decision.
