It's desirable for complication speed, but not for performance. The blessing & curse of templates is that while you pay for them in compilation speed, you're also getting every scrap of localized optimizations possible without needing to run a much slower, and less capable, LTO pass.

There isn't a "strictly better" here, it's a trade-off. If you want a split implementation, make one. That's the beauty of C++ - there's nothing special the standard library can do that you can't. Android, for example, has a split implementation: https://cs.android.com/android/platform/superproject/+/maste... (I wouldn't use it, though, it's pretty outdated & shitty, but you can still do what you're talking about).

"Facebook claims its motive for threatening Ad Observer is that browser plugins and extensions, like Ad Observer, could violate Facebook users' privacy."

Yes, but so can Facebook itself. And it has, many times. Facebook lacks credibility here. It is possible this research may even uncover further violations of users' privacy as it may reveal levels of targeting not believed possible based on the types of user data Facebook admits to having.

Can Facebook effectively block users from saving and sharing the ads that are forced upon them by Facebook and its advertisers?

Facebook would have to control what users choose to save from their browsers' caches and what they choose to do with that material, e.g., sharing it with researchers.

The legality of "scraping", fair use for research purposes and the general unenforceability of website TOS all stack in NYU's favour.

Laura Edelson, a researcher at NYU's Tandon School of Engineering who helps oversee the Ad Observatory project, said, "The only thing that would prompt us to stop doing this would be if Facebook would do it themselves, which we have called on them to do."

Well, usually what you want is actully the UTC offset, not the timezone, because that's what you need to get the actual-wall-clock timestamp of the event. If you all you have is a timzeone, then you need an accurate historical tzdata and also you need to be sure that the system had accurate tzdata itself when it produced the timestamp.

Of course, if you're storing the timestamp of a future, planned event, then yes, you need a timezone. But for historical records, store the UTC offset that was in effect when the event happened.

The electors for the Electoral College in 48 of the 50 states are determined by the states' popular vote, gerrymandering has no effect on this. In Maine and Nebraska, it is partially by congressional district.

Gerrymandering had no impact on Trump's election. He was elected because he got the right states to pull out an Electoral College majority despite losing the national popular election.

Gerrymandering's impact is on the US House of Representatives and state legislatures. Most executive offices are elected by statewide popular vote.

>but they get a bit too warm for me after a couple hours.

I use HD380 Pro at the office, too. They're comfortable for closed, but they still do get ears/head warm over time. This is in contrast to HD600. The sound is also like night and day difference.

>I've heard they leak audio and didn't want to annoy my coworkers.

At healthy (as in low and plenty sufficient) volumes this is not an issue. The reason I use closed headphones in the office is the other way around: I can hear my coworkers and they're louder than my music is.

>so maybe I should re-consider open-backed headphones if they breath better. Thanks for the suggestion!

You're welcome. I'm confident you can't go wrong with HD600, they're legendary all-rounder, neutral-tuned, uncolored headphones, and at their price they're a steal, but do watch/read some reviews before making the call, for your own sanity.

Do note that HD650/660S are less neutral and near-universally considered worse by reviewers, on both subjective and objective (measurements) metrics, even when more expensive. And the lower end HD599/etc models aren't even comparable on a level field, in neither sound nor build. (HD600 are modular and built like tanks. The parts are compatible with 580/650/660S and sold individually, for the worst case and unlikely scenario of breaking anything)

They're 300 to 600Ω impedance across the frequency range, so they do benefit greatly from a headphone amp, but will still sound great even from an anemic source.

If you end up feeling like buying a dac/amp combo to get that extra, perceivable improvement, do look into "Audio Science Review (ASR)" community for no-bullshit hard measurement driven reviews. There's excellent solutions that do not break the bank, and a lot of hocus-pocus that measures like shit and yet has outrageous asking prices.

I find this issue totally real/believable, and yet puzzling.

Questions about whether someone is a vegetarian, where they grew up, what religion they practice or who they married may be used as a “caste locator" [...] Other tests include patting an Indian man on the back to see whether he is wearing a “sacred thread” worn by some Brahmins, the highest-ranked caste.

Only another Indian person would know/care about these things to an extent that would prevent a Dalit individual from answering in a way that obscures his/her caste association. I don't know the beliefs surrounding the 'sacred thread,' but it is imaginable that a person who wants to appear to be Brahmin could wear it to work, in case of an errant back pat. Not sure if that is considered unethical or dishonest.

People teach others how to treat them, and much of what we think we deserve is rooted in the sense of self that we develop in childhood. I would guess that this is true for many Dalit people; the untouchable-ness of their ancestral caste, though not necessarily a part of their daily life, is a part of their self-concept. I don't want to be insensitive to the desire of Dalit individuals to focus on work rather than vestigial social classes, but I can't help but think that part of the problem is a subconscious feeling of inferiority/inadequacy nurtured by Indian culture.

What's really bizarre to me is that in my industry, Indians as a whole are often treated quite poorly (I don't agree with this practice, nor would I ever participate in bullying someone over nationality) because IT (disproportionately Indian where I have worked) is kind of considered the lowest-status group on a trading floor. IT gets underpaid, and they tend to get shouted at because they get called most often when essential tools break down. (To be fair, everyone gets shouted at on a trading floor.) Also, many Indians working in large banks are on H1Bs that make them less mobile than their locally-born coworkers, and thus more likely to tolerate an unhappy work environment. Outside of IT, I know foreign-born Indians with Ivy League PhDs who don't get treated the same by higher-ups as their non-Indian peers. Given the awareness that Indians have toward class hierarchy, one would think that they would adapt outwardly to climb the status ladder of Corporate America, rather than discriminating against one another within the Indian cohort of their work group. This seems like a self-inflicted wound. Most white-collar Americans don't see "Dalit" or "Brahmin;" they just see two Indian people.

I also don't think it's a fair comparison to blackness in America. There is absolutely nothing that a black man can do to reduce awareness of his blackness. Unlike caste, blackness can never be eradicated because it is a physical property of a group of humans.

Disclaimer: I'm not Indian and may be fairly ignorant of several cultural nuances that are relevant to this topic. I recognize that this is a sensitive topic; I found it interesting and wanted to write out my thoughts. If I'm missing the point, please edify me.

I have the same laptop and this is also my fourth upgrade on it. Really excellent.

It is impressive how much the upgrade process has improved over the years. Years ago you could either risk updating your repo files and yum updating, or just do a full reinstall. Then they built fedup which was a command line tool that made it easy, but still required several different commands. Now it’s driven through the GUI and a better experience than macOS upgrades in my opinion.

> If tests can do this, then so can anyone else.

If I had an image loader class, I can make a test function a friend, which would allow it to call private functions on the class. This only grants access to the test function (or test class). And there are stronger ways to hide things, like the PIMPL idiom, private headers, opaque pointers.

I find it interesting we're in such different schools of thought here.

> Only those that make sense to move out for separate testing would be, and only if you also wanted to expose them for others to call.

There are so many things that you might want to hide from an interface, yet still test. Imagine if you took that to an extreme and only tested the public interface of a library. I'm all for trying to independently test any bit of code that fills a screen.

Which valid points? Its overarching point is that Randi was contemptuous of people who spent their time "studying" ESP, precognition, and other nonsense, with a few attempts to smear him with spurious comparisons to McCarthy. Of course James Randi was contemptuous of those people, and of course they hated him for it. But that doesn't make merit a vulgar character assassination a week after his death.

Plus, the article does precisely what you have just asked me not to do: it attacks the man and his character without making the slightest argument as to why he was wrong to dismiss ESP and occult research.

> He was to skepticism what Senator Joseph McCarthy was to anticommunism — a showman, a bully, and, ultimately, the very thing he claimed to fight against: a fraud.

I find it perverse that someone who makes a living touting the power of positive thinking to reshape reality and make you rich believes he speaks for the "real skeptics". It's tendentious nonsense from the first word to the last.

About global keybindings.

Interesting, I just noticed MacOS allows normally global keybindings to be overridden by applications that really want to override them.

So for example, doing Command-Tab in the VNC viewer will tab through applications on the VNC server you're connected to, which makes sense because you feel like you're using that other desktop. But everywhere else, Command-Tab is intercepted by the window manager and tabs through the local applications.

Same for other hotkeys that are usually universal, like the one that takes screenshots and screen recordings (which are both done really nicely in MacOS by the way), or the one that lets you search for anything.

4k DLSS takes something like 1.5ms to compute on a 2080ti IIRC, so the drop in render time has to be at least that to give any improvement. So it's quite situational and doesn't help with for example when frame rate is high already. Ray tracing at high settings would be expected to be one of those situations though, so something might be just broken.

Nope, we're currently moving gigatons of carbon from the geosphere to the atmosphere and a significant amount of that carbon will remain for tens of thousands of years.

> Ad Observer only collects information about the ads people see, not personal posts or users’ personal information.

This statement seems to be contradicted within the article itself.

For instance, Mozilla claims the tool is used by a newsroom in Utah, linking to an article titled "ksl-investigates-who-is-behind-the-millions-in-facebook-political-ads-targeting-utah." So presumably the tool identifies the location of the target.

The article also claims that the tool proves that Facebook is still selling discriminatory ads. Does this mean that the tool knows things like race, gender, religion, etc. about the user?

If a user has willingly shared such information with the tool, I don't see a problem. I'm not sure how Facebook would even have any standing in a legal case. But the article does seem to contradict itself about user privacy.
