You really wanna go there? Seriously?
Nobody forces you to use drugs. It doesn't even harm anyone else directly. He didn't even sell drugs directly, he offered a marketplace for others to sell drug on. What about pawn shops? Should we lock em all up in super max prisons for providing weapons to people? I mean here the intent is at least directly to harm people other than the client, while with drugs its just to harm clients.

Net positive... LOL Name a single politican that does provide a net positive to the world. How about Trump? What about locking him up? Did he provide a net positive to the world? He has a list of crimes that could wrap buildings in documents, however he is president of the US, which somehow manages to kill more people in a year than this guy could have killed indirectly in a life-time. But hey, yeah lock em up!

> so it's a clear reflection of his morals and empathy.

Oh is it? So what now? We lock up everything who doesn't have your high moral standards in a federal super max? Oh wait, your morals seem a bit off actually. I think you are kindof insane. How about locking you up? Do you provide a net positive to the world? Probably not. Wait, let me just call 911 so they can lock you away for life.
Feature request: allow setting/fixing the overall background; for some themes, it is too bright and distracts from the keyboard itself.
Closest I've come to that so far was getting oK running on a PocketCHIP. (Which is really just a matter of installing node and cloning the repo, thankfully.) The keyboard is less than stellar, but not too bad for trying little expressions.
Haha no. Realistic worst case predictions are 1E8 deaths. We're at 1E10 population. Humanity will endure.
That is almost the correct answer. To go even further, there are sequences that are completely full of zeros in the padded case of multidimensional FFTs and we can omit their FFTs entirely.
Yes, government is based on physical power ultimately, and it only works because enough people agree over the basic rules of how it should work (which is supposedly embodied in the constitution). When enough people (esp. it those people are in the military) disagree, it breaks down. Will it happen in the US? Hopefully not, but Trump is trying his darnedest.
Thoughts and ... nah, not for him.
> Rather than asking a hypothetical, it probably would have been better to test it.

IBM did test this. Back in the 1970's.

Single offices with a closable door were best for productivity.

Everybody just chose to ignore all the research because re-architecting the available space in San Francisco in 1998-1999 (a lot of warehouses) would be so expensive. So, they set up "open office" plans and ran ethernet and power on the exposed beams (CHEAP!).

At no point did anybody decide open floorplan was better (witness all the programmers with noise cancelling headsets).
Not carpeted. But I can definitely increase the dust removal as of now I do it twice or once a week.
> Targeted advertising is a major reason for the Internet’s success.

It's the major reason for social media's success, not the internet. The internet was successful long before social media.

> It has allowed many companies to become extremely wealthy and invest back into the ecosystem.

What? It monopolized the ecosystem. Not the same thing.
> All of the old structures of church and community fell without something to take its place, and for whatever reason it's progressive to discount prioritizing traditional values like family over career.

The economy grows faster when people sacrifice their personal lives for work.

Not saying I like it, but it seems obvious why incentives are aligned that way.

They're allowed. It's not illegal to act in a singular self interest. That doesn't mean everyone wants to elect someone who only works for their own self interest. We're talking about a public figure and that means they're subject to public opinion beyond the low bar of legality.

However, at this point this sort of thing is baked in to opinions of the president. I don't think anyone is surprised.
The thing is US has its own TikToks: if US bans TikTok, CCP will use its influence to undermine FB, WhatsApp, IG, Snapchat, etc. CCP is pretty much saying: "we know you're spying on the entire world and we want to do the same; if you torpedo our secret submarine, we'll do the same to yours."
There seems to be some confusion about what the disabling of the "ssh-rsa" public key signature algorithm actually means. This does not mean that you will need to generate new non-rsa keys (although that isn't a bad idea).

The on disk key format that you see in your authorized_keys that begins with "ssh-rsa" is just the RSA key (it doesn't encode anything about the hashing algorithm). You will be able to continue to use that key with the "rsa-sha2-256" and "rsa-sha2-512" algorithms. The details of this are outlined in Section 3 of RFC8332[0].

It's a fair question mostly because of how effective math has been at solving practical problems, but honestly working on problems like these is usually due to a genuine appreciation and enjoyment of mathematics. I'd even say the majority of mathematicians study math strictly out of a sense of wonder and curiosity rather than towards a commercial application and that the vast majority of math research is not at all practical.

The cost is justified due to a common shared interest in the subject, many other people are interested in math and pay people to work on it. It's not all that different than paying someone for music, or a painting, or to write a work of fiction. People get a profound sense of enjoyment and happiness from this work and are happy to pay the cost for the continued advancement of this field.
Anyone with knowledge/experience can share how does it compared with the layout algorithm in https://graphviz.org/ ?
There’s a lot. Cisco makes them if you have their conference room hardware. Any new tech corporate office (and some non tech) will have some sort of hardware that lets you dial into the meeting and or reserve the conference room.
Yes. I’m sure all of the foreign countries that we have destabilized and bombed “to bring our values” are very appreciative of our efforts.
Don't believe it. If anything it'd allow for new businesses to flourish. I.e. Sea water filtering. It will gladly take all the extra electricity to create more fresh water.
Sony is trying some stuff along those lines with the PS5. They have one compute unit on the GPU with a few features fused off that is dedicated to audio.
I know the advantage of static typing (see my other comments).

Swift just seems quite more complex for average programmer.
The law is unjust. The anti-defammation law was used to stifle press freedom and suppress journalists. It doesn't matter whether it's lawful in Thailand or not, freedom of speech without the fear of persecution is a part of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. (Whether you think it has a legal basis or not, it's the only thing we can look up to when authoritarian governments can pass whatever stipulation they want and call it legal.) In this case, I believe the owner of the resort has no ill intention, however, it is using an unjust instrument to inflict a questionable punishment on other people.
I'm dreading when you won't be able to buy non-networked appliances.

Please do.

Not even regular coffee/tea other than occasional green/oolong/chamomile. Liquor even more in frequent. Normal rice/wheat based food with veggies and lentils on a regular basis. Occasional dairy and meat products. Yes, I do have eggs almost everyday (since almost as long I can remember).

It's a more recent (~1.5 years) phenomenon and I am in early 30s. Before this it just didn't happen at all and suddenly it became a daily thing.
I'd rather work for the company that doesn't operate as a political activism machine.

After all, what work is being done when you spend hours a day arguing about policy minutiae with co-workers?
People like me never have to poke around to find anything. Everything is either answered by a Youtube video or Stackoverflow, but it only gives a surface level understanding of everything, and we become clueless when something breaks.
This really reminds me of Douglas R. Hofstadter. It's an interesting sort of self-referential sequence because it is now in the OEIS.

There are other "most unusual" numbers and sets, that of course by their being documented are no longer so unusual.
I remember several of my Win9x games didn't work fine, but not which ones. I think Carmageddon 2 was one?

There were plenty of games for 9x that assumed its lax memory and permissions model, especially for stuff like DRM.

Awesome, thanks! It looks a lot better for my data :)
Incorrect. RSA keys are fine, the ssh-rsa key signature algorithm is not. You can instead use the rsa-sha2-256 signature algorithm with your RSA keys (and you will have been using this for some time if you are running non-ancient openssh).
I'm reasonably sure that large parts of windows were re-written between 2003 and Vista; so I'd assume the vast majority is new.
If you can't use the object files to rebuild another version of the program with a modifier version of the library then no that probably wouldn't be compliant. In that case you would probably have to modify the library so it's not inlining every function. (Disclaimer: IANAL)
So this phenomenon is recent. ~1.5 years. Coincidentally. Till 3 years ago I used to be a long distance runner (and daily 6-10km on an average) and used to trek and swim regularly. That gradually stopped to a halt. But then I had added daily sports to my routine.

I will try HEPA filter in my bedroom (can't do it for the entire house - it's quite big, open, and a shared apartment and not designed in that way really)
You're strawmanning ahmedalsudani's argument. They are not saying that Google is an armed robber, nor is using YouTube anywhere near as essential to survival as food, so this is a bad analogy.
Thailand used to be land of smiles, but it seems there's a backlash against tourism, and the Thais are not so happy as once thought, not just tourism but everything.
What a silly page. Wonder who wrote that. It lists Christian texts and it lists Jewish text. Not a single mention of a judeo-christian scripture. What I was looking for was the "judeo-christian scripture". Is the Talmud a judeo-christian text or is the new testament the judeo-christian text? Or was the guy referring to the old testament?
Honest question: is there any reason for using RSA for new keys these days, if you are not working with extremely legacy systems? My ed25519 works fine with at least CentOS 7, and thankfully that's the oldest system I have to touch.

Maybe only if you want to store the key on a separate physical device, and it only supports RSA?
The competitor in the 7 era wasn't more PCs, it was tablet mania. Fear of tablets replacing PCs lead to Windows 8.

That would probably do what you want because it applies on a per-file basis and not to the entire program, but make sure you read the MPL FAQ and the fine print before making such a change: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/MPL/2.0/FAQ/
The article touches on this with:

> k = x³ + y³ + z³ is what number theorists call a Diophantine equation — a kind of algebraic structure whose properties have fascinated mathematicians for millennia. “They’re rich enough to encode [other mathematical] statements that have nothing to do with Diophantine equations,” said Browning. “They’re rich enough to simulate computers.”

More specifically, equations of such form come up in a proof of Godel's first incompleteness theorem. That being said, yeah, this effort is mostly a mathematical curiosity, mapping out the domain of knowledge of mathematics increasingly more completely. Sometimes an application comes about where either the solution or novel techniques used to arrive to the solution can become useful, but pure math research isn't typically driven by any existing applications as much as a "because it's there" attitude.
It's worth noting that this is NOT what remote working is really like. During regular times you can more easily go work in your local cafe for a few hours, more easily hang out with your friends after work to get socialization. If you're a social person this is a double-whammy, you lost socializing at work and socializing with friends at the same time. I'm not suggesting you would ever like normal remote work, I have no idea. I just wanted to say this isn't what remote work is really like.
> There is plenty of land. The notion that land constraints seriously limit solar is an oft-repeated canard.

I mean, I guess that's technically true, but not all land is made the same - solar is obviously going to be more productive in California, Arizona and Florida than it will be in Washington or Maine. I'm also not arguing that we can't do it because of land — it's poor land use, and works counter to the goal of sequestering carbon out of the atmosphere.

How many ecosystems should be destroy by covering it in panels, when we could install a couple dozen mass manufactured nuclear plants and call it a day?

> Nuclear's land use typically ignores the land used by the distribution network for its power.

How do you figure? You are going to have transmission from the desert to cities, and you will need last mile delivery either way. When you do the math on the number of 18 square mile solar plants you would need for the equivalent number of small-footprint nuclear plants, it's really hard for me to see how this is true.
Thanks! I've been considering that idea for a while actually. Still haven't been able to do it because various reasons:
- The site need to be rendered nicely on multiple screen sizes
- It's complicated on mobile
- I update the screenshoot from time to time
- I tend to reduce the amount of JS in the main page

I'll have to put more thoughts into this, a few people suggested this already.

Thanks for the feedback!

Gonna need to see some evidence there. Some real evidence, not the ludicrous logs that Carl Force claimed to have created from chats with him.

The computer manuals in those days were excellent, especially the more advanced manuals.

They included circuit diagrams, data sheets for individual chips, just about every detail of how the system worked.

You'd still have to figure out a lot just to understand those reference manuals, and guess a lot, especially with no internet and no good library (my local library did not have books like this!).

I only had a very small number of books. But I did have the Advanced Guide. Having so much detail available in reference manuals was great for a young mind!

Also when I was like 7-8 (edit: previously wrote 10) I was given the Ladybird book for young children: "The Computer (How It Works)".[1] A tiny book. In retrospect I learned a lot of great grounding from that book even though I hadn't yet seen an actual computer. I guess it gave me an appreciation for the video games I played with on show in the supermarket, and the pictures of minicomputers and microcomputers I saw in hand-me-down computer magazines.

[1] https://www.amazon.co.uk/Computer-Ladybird-How-Works/dp/0721...

I'm occasionally asked, by people who find learning this stuff frustrating, where did I learn about logic circuits, where did I learn about assembly, where did I learn about RAM and ROM, etc. and for a long time I couldn't put my finger on it. I think it started with being exposed to that book and some early computer magazines at a young age, without even seeing or touching a real machine for a year or so afterwards.

One of the terms in the solution is a bit bigger than 2^51 so its square is around 2^102. Assuming the methods used need to actually compute these numbers, you’ll need something bigger than a 64-bit int. Not sure how good GPUs are going to be at bignum-ish stuff, but it’s not the most obvious fit
Alright, I think it might have come across like that which in no way was my intent and for that purpose, I have rephrased my question.
Working from home is OK. I did it for years. It was ok when my son was a schoolboy. It was ok even with my newborn daughter, even when I had to type with one hand because the other was busy rocking the baby.

It became insufferable when both parents and their school-age children were forced to stay home. Even the nerdiest child can spend only so much time glued to a screen, or otherwise being self-occupied. Children genuinely need attention, communication, care — and this all steps the way of your concentration.
Same. I always check the source for them to ensure all work is being done locally, but it still feels wrong. Would be cool to have a browser feature that disables form submission and JS network requests for specific sites.
I'm sorry this is happening to you. This isn't what remote work is really like. Before covid you could easily make the rounds to a few local cafes to work at from time to time and also you could hang out with friends after work. All of that was taken away at once and we won't fully understand the mental health ramifications for years, if ever.
Weren't 538's pretty much the only predictions that gave Trump a decent chance at winning 2016? IIRC, they were somewhere around 30%.
Not only the US. The Flamanville EPR has suffered increased costs because the welders that actually learned how to do nuclear-level welds had retired by the time someone decided to build a new nuclear reactor after Chernobyl. Additionally, the foundries that build a key part of the nuclear core (I belive it’s called a chaudron in French, but it’s basically a big metal boiler) were not as good as they were, because they had to actually remake it twice.

It is horrifying but we lost a technological capacity.

Here’s a good source in French on that subject: https://www.economie.gouv.fr/rapport-epr-flamanville#

If you are generating a new keypair, you should default to ed25519. There are still a number of openpgp/smartcard devices that only support RSA keys.

Edit: Another reason one might still use RSA keys: ed25519 isn't a FIPS-140 approved algorithm (yet).
The magical power of extensions actually predates MS-DOS -- both CP/M and TRSDOS did the same thing in the late 70s, and I'm pretty sure both of those were inspired by mainframe operating systems. (I was a TRS-80 kid, and didn't know until much later why our equivalent of batch files had the extension "JCL".)

Having said that, though, we could at least wish that some variant of the Mac's old idea of separate creator and document codes stored as metadata had caught on. Sure, it'd have been a few more bytes per directory entry (to be specific, five more bytes!), but it was a lot more flexible -- and if more operating systems had been built with that "document types are metadata" idea, that metadata could have been replaced with MIME types later on, like it was on BeOS.
There's zero reason to ever use RSA for SSH keys, certainly.
I’m not saying simplifications aren’t valid. I’m saying this simplification is simply wrong.

Theologically Buddhism is not a quietist religion. Buddhism has both communal and vocal worship rituals (mantra chanting). It has some quietist rituals, like meditation. But you can’t just pick one aspect of a religion and say it describes the whole thing. Otherwise a contemplating monk would make Christianity quietist too.

In terms of social issues it’s certainly not quietist either. Some Buddhists will argue that Buddhism is apolitical, and others will argue the opposite. I’ve heard Christian priests take either side of that issue too.

Then when you put theology aside, it’s not quietist in practice either. Any place that you have a large population of Buddhists, you’re going to have Buddhist political activism (which is more to do with them just being people, rather than specifically Buddhists).

The simplification only makes sense when viewed from the misinformed, romanticized perspective.
Nuclear energy is regularly significantly (usually more than an order of magnitude, from what I've seen) cheaper for electricity than any other source in comparable countries (e.g. nuclear electricity in Toronto >10x cheaper than coal/solar electricity in Berlin)

Nuclear energy is and always has been inherently competitive on total profitability over the course of a plant's lifetime.

The main issue is the time it takes to get a plant built, and the heavy upfront investment. Both of these extend painfully the time before investors reach nonnegative ROI, which is (imo) part of why despite the actual profitability being much better human investors with inherently limited lifetimes opt for, for example, natural gas or solar installations.

+ Also of course, nuclear is much more heavily regulated than other sources of energy, which leads to good things like reduced accident deaths, but also heavily increases cost and time to build.
I sent him this:

It does, however, omit several imporant uses for the
operation.

Perhaps the most important of these is the integer
log-base-2 operation. The popcount instruction
follows a bitwise operation to transform the input
from the form 0..01x..x into 0..011..1. Often these
operations are merged into another instruction,
"count leading zeroes". We also find "count leading
ones", "count trailing ones", "count trailing zeroes",
all relying on the same hardware implementation.

Most often the result of one of these operations is
used as a shift count, or to provision storage for a
corresponding number of larger objects.

The importance of the instruction in accelerating
algorithms arises from its very slow loopwise
implementation, so a software emulation is often
worse than useless.
