My only gripes with UEFI are the copyright concerns.

I'm not sure if it's legal to implement UEFI without being a member of the UEFI forum. I don't know if I should avoid reading the spec so that my work doesn't become tainted, etc.
Thank you for fixing it!
In their terms they already exclude a lot of content. Adding disinformation (I realize that's not an exact term and every story has two sides) isn't a far stretch to their current policies https://mailchimp.com/legal/acceptable_use

I can't count how many times I've gone to a blog and it's only given the month and day of a post, like "Oct 30". Is that 2020? 2010? I look around the entire page, but I can't find a clue.

Show HN: Cross-platform profitable web-app running on WP
The obvious point is that for a country to have a democracy that's free from manipulation by foreign entities it needs to strongly act against foreign influences attempting to interfere. If media publications credulously publish explosive accusations in the month before an election then you have a very easy way for foreign entities to influence elections.

Even if you buy Bobulinski as a credible witness it's difficult to discount the fact that his allegations have been deliberately timed to be as politically damaging for the election as possible, whilst giving the smallest amount of time to fact check his story. Specifically since the allegations could've been brought to light years ago. We don't have to be credulous - we all know that the unsubstantiated accusations can be damaging even if they turn out to be utterly baseless (which is what seems to be the case given the lack of coroborating evidence).

To put this in context - the 2016 relevation of Hilary Clinton's emails in the last weeks before the election coincided with a shift in the polls that pushed that election into a tossup, and when actually investigated, were found to be duplicates of emails that she had already been investigated for.

It seems natural given that we know about this dynamic, the reasonable thing is to raise your threshold for publishing accusations in the last weeks before an election.

If it is true that these accusations really are as damning as Bobulinski claims then they'll be coroborated and investigations will start, and frankly we've got 3 months before Biden even takes office. But those should be real criminal investigations, not baseless accusations made in the 2 weeks before the election - or more reasonably, made at the time that Bobulinski claims these conversations took place over a year ago.
Hi, I wrote the linked post.

The most important thing to keep in mind is the rendering artifacts demonstrate that the video in generated using double buffering. In single buffering, the CPU writes to VRAM which is ultimately read and displayed on the CRT. The circuitry writing to VRAM is racing the circuitry that reads it.

With double buffering you have two video buffers in memory. The CPU writes to one while the other one is being read. While aging hardware can experience glitches, rewriting a game to use double buffering simply isn't something that will occur by happenstance.

Because people see writing a blog or guest articles as a sign of possible expertise, but are generally too time crunches to check for themselves.
This feels different from censorship on Twitter and Facebook to me. I guess the business model of Mailchimp is more transparent and I can appreciate that a company may choose who to do business with.
Hmm I always assumed that there were missing/unsolved pieces of the driver that would need to be fixed first, based on the way that support for these devices seems to need to be solved one by one [0] but it looks like at least someone has made progress on a different board [1]

Okay but, keep in mind that just because someone doesn’t have the same humor that you do, doesn’t mean that they don’t have any humor.

I don't necessarily think the Google graveyard is that much bigger than other companies, it's just more visible to the public. Any large software company is going to have a lot of projects that were sunset early or canceled before the first release. I don't have statistics for this, but Cloud Print lasted for 10 years, and that seems like a fairly typical lifespan for any product.

It can be painful seeing the fruits of one's labor killed off by an unsympathetic executive, but it is the nature of the work.
Emotionally I feel like I'm fully on mailchimp's side here, but I don't think I understand the difference you're seeing in Twitter/Facebook's censorship, vs. this - unless there's specific instances I'm not remembering?
Oh, for a moment I thought you were arguing people to stop writing those notoriously low-effort, beginner level tutorials which Medium is filled with.

One last thing, read this article about it:

https://omaha.com/livewellnebraska/how-i-beat-my-sinusitis-b...

"I didn't notice anything at first, but, gradually, my sinuses started popping, and mucus flowed down the back of my throat in big gushes. The baby shampoo broke through. I baby shampoo-ed my sinuses for a few more days, and now I feel better than I've felt in several years."

I had a similar experience in the beginning with a sort of "pop" while I was rinsing in the shower. I thought I had broken something. But I don't remember experiencing any facial pain after the "pop". It was quite possible that it was the sound of the biofilm breaking down? I don't know. But I have not experienced it since, and I've done many baby shampoo flushes since then.

I write everything initially on my own site[0].

I will often (but not always) mirror the article on Medium[1].

I'll often post links, here, to the Medium articles, because I have had my site get the "hug of death" a few times.

In the old days, that was cool (The term "slashdotted" came from that). These days, it doesn't really mean much; except that the server goes down. I don't get any real advantage from it.

I think Medium kind of butchers my work. I have full control of presentation, and whatnot, on my site, and I can do series. There are always links to my original articles, because I don't really trust Medium. I could see them try to claim ownership of my work; simply because it's on their server.

As for people applying value judgements on me for using Medium? Eh. Whatever.

My story about learning the power of awk was I was working on a dataset and had written a page or so Worth's of Perl... and kept bungling it. I emailed the scientist who wrote the paper whose technique I was emulating and he said, why not use awk, and gave me a basic example one liner, with a bit of modification it worked! Of course all that really means is I suck at Perl, but it was an eye opener for how powerful awk is.
"Reimagining Capitalism" by Rebecca Henderson is an eye-opening book that outlines very clearly defined steps that would force corporations to take more social responsibility.

Here's my take on the book:

Capitalism at its best works wonderfully, but the checks and balances that are needed for capitalism to work for the good of society are broken. Most countries across the world do not have a truly free press or even semi-functional democracy. We're hurtling towards a climate disaster, with no signs of slowing down, as well as facing massive global inequality.

Corporations are succeeding at present, but the single-minded focus on pleasing shareholders above all else is not sustainable and _will_ come back to hurt everyone, not least corporations. It's a classic case of the prisoner's dilemma - each corporation individually does better by ignoring societal damage, but if all of them do so, the whole system will eventually collapse - whether due to climate disaster, a collapse of buying power from impoverished masses, or a global pandemic.

Henderson argues that "only the relentless pressure of the free market can drive the kind of transformative innovation at scale [that we require]". The solution is to first fix democracy - get money out of politics, and fix the voting system. A representative government can agree on common goals and implement polices that harness the free market to work towards these agreed goals - eg. a carbon tax. Henderson also puts hope in "collective action" - corporations working together voluntarily, towards common stated goals. I'm a little sceptical of this last part.

Azeem Azhar (Exponential View) did a great interview with Henderson - https://hbr.org/podcast/2020/06/reimagining-capitalism-for-a...
You are correct in your view of who the globalists are. The only racist idea here is that all of those people are Jews. The idea that saying “globalist” is an anti-Semitic pejorative is just an idea being installed by Globalist Propagandists and their (witting or not) repeaters, to make it socially risky for anyone to discuss their nefarious deeds when labeled in a way that promotes pattern recognition by readers.
What I always wondered about is why the (good) people that publish free content on Medium actually publish on Medium.

I mean, talking of technical article/tutorials, it is not like nowadays (and in the last - say - 10 years) there are not other ways (personal site/blog or if the issue is expected huge traffic other free hosting sites, like - still say - github).

What is the perceived "added value" by Medium (in case of free content)?

Better visibility?
is it just me or that entire site is like a dog whistle for conservative leanings. i mean all the words like being against "cancel culture", etc. talking about how the new york post wouldn't be able to release the biden story.. like okay... i can forgive a few of them, but when the whole article and site reads like that i can't take it seriously.
I wonder if someone who wants to peddle "Bill Gates installed 5G antennaes to spread Covid" idiocy can get away with it when they add at the top "Mailchimp does not allow disinformation. In light of that, please note that this newsletter is satire and not to be taken seriously.", with the wink being implied but not written...
Medium doesn't actually pay writers does it?
I'm a bit late to this thread, but thanks for making & sharing this extension. It looks amazing!
Make an account just to upvote this. Fkn preach brother.
That's true. Though, I'll also say that my experience and expectation from medium articles and SO are different too. Medium lends itself to more end-to-end stories (here are the steps, combining these 3 libraries, to accomplish this task), whereas SO feels like it's more focused (Why does this part of my toolchain break?). The upvote/downvote mechanism also doesn't really lend itself to tutorials. I feel like if you wanted tutorials on SO, you'd want to branch SO itself into a different entity.
Just this morning I was thinking of making a search engine that only looks among personal blogs plus a whitelist of sites like stackoverflow and Wikipedia. Or something like the old web in general. Or it has to be non profit (no ads, no subscription options, no paid content, only donation/flattr if anything). I haven't decided on a good rule yet, it's quite tricky.

At any rate, the idea is to somehow filter out all the garbage when I just want to know how to do something. Too often I have to find personal blog links on stackoverflow ("PS. I wrote more about it here") as opposed to that helpful article simply showing up in the search results by itself.

Writing on your own domain and blog, and then re-publishing on places like Medium and dev.to etc seems to be the best combination.

You get the ownership of your own site, and the reach and SEO of medium and 3rd party publications.
I guess this explains why they wouldn't let me watch when I had the same thing done. It's not the sort of thing that bothers _me_, but they wouldn't have exactly screened for that ahead of time.
A book usually signals a quality higher than Medium signals.

Given the nature of the medium, books usually have the highest guarantee of quality due to the resources used to publish a book.

Same here. I'm curious how you got there.

I think a large part of that for me is because early in my career I got involved in Unix kernel work, first writing device drivers and later doing Unix ports, including both porting a swapping Unix to paged hardware (and rewriting pretty much all process and memory management from scratch) and porting a paging Unix to swapping hardware.

That was followed by a few years largely doing embedded stuff on systems too small to have operating systems or memory management units. For those I'd write a small kernel that supported threads and scheduling (sometimes cooperative and sometimes preemptive) and then write the embedded applications much like I would have written them on Unix, using threads instead of processes.

So for me threads are easy and things like async/wait seem overly complicated and less clear because I came at concurrency from the operating system side of things and the hardware side of things (e.g., dealing with interrupts) where thread-like thinking is natural and perhaps required.

Maybe it is conceptually harder for people who come at it from the application side of things?
Medium still requires an account to read after a few free articles a month and that's what's pissing most people off. Myself included. This has nothing to do with the monetization of the articles, it's just medium and their arbitrary limit.
I have a similar experience. I feel better all around when my stomach is full than when it's not. But that's not a feasible way to stay at a healthy weight so I deal.

I prefer ads because, if they're a typical tracker disguised as an ad, I can block them without feeling even a tinge of guilt.

A few weeks ago I saw an ad on a blog post. I think it's the only one I've seen all year. I was so surprised, I looked at the source. It was just an image, hosted on the same domain, wrapped in standard anchor tag. It was even something I might consider using, a server monitoring service. I had never been so happy to see an ad.
I have found the rails community to be fairly positive.
宫保鸡丁 was invented by a Beijjng chef serving a mandarin on assignment in Sichuan, they had some visitors but didn’t have much time to prepare something, so they came up with that at the last minute, which impressed the visitors and became popular “back home.” Truly the definition of transplanted food (like how lemon chicken is popular in the states as canonical hunan food but is not anything of the sort).

There are dishes that resemble it that are authentic Sichuan (eg laziji), so you are more likely to find something similar with a different name.

I’ve been through much of Sichuan province, though much of that (Eg Daocheng) was actually Tibetan where Sichuan food was considered transplanted by default.
Someone told me that "It's called Medium because the articles are neither rare, nor well-done."

That seems accurate in my experience.

Despite usually being on the side of free speech, I have much less of a problem with this. There's a significant difference between preventing individuals from expressing their opinion, right or wrong, and preventing an organization with enough money to pay for third party e-mailing services from sending out content in bulk.
Not long after finding out about Aphantasia I found out about Severely Deficient Autobiographical Memory (SDAM) which I felt described my experience of life very well.

A loooooong tmie ago (circa... 1992?) I had the same problem with an Hitachi embedded processor. Except our application was hard real-time (controlling the fuel injector of a Ford 150 that was modified to run on natural gas).

We ended-up splitting the division code over multiple loops of the core system so that it would not exceed the allotted time when the engine was running at maximum RPM. It meant that the value that required division would only update at something like 1/6th of the data acquisition speed of all other values, but hey, it worked.

Maybe I still have the source code on some floppy disk somewhere...
