Compare this to WinAPI approach: its analogue of dup() (called DuplicateHandle) also accepts a descriptor of a process into which the file descriptor must be duplicated. You need to have the correct access right, of course.

However, because in Windows TCP sockets are implemented in the user space, you can't quite use this routine to pass sockets: the part of its state in the user-space won't get duplicated (well, you can't send FILE* into another process in neither Linux nor Windows, right), so there is WSADuplicateSocket function which doesn't actually duplicates the socket, it gives you a struct full of its internal state which you have to send to another process somehow, and then the other process has to re-create the socket manually, by passing this struct into WSASocket call... and I've no idea how the inter-process sharing is then set up, but apparently it is set up, so those two sockets would actually have synchronized state from then on.
This article gives a perfect, if unintentional synopsis of why Trump is in power. The left has embraced hook-line-and-sinker Critical Theory and Identity Politics. All power and victimhood is seen through the lens of identities, causing the left had to abandon class because it is not an immutable category. The working class abandoned the Democratic party because the party abandoned the working class and then poured salt onto their abandonment by shaming them as racist/sexist/homophobe, etc.
No, that's just a thing I can relatively readily point to that gets respected here if you have male bits between your legs but gets roundly dismissed as worthless internet points if you have female bits between your legs.

I can empathize with her because I was one of the top three students of my graduating class and had the highest SAT scores of my class. I was STAR student and a National Merit Scholarship winner.

I was inducted into Mu Alpha Theta, a college-level math honor society, at age 16 in eleventh grade, the earliest you can be inducted. At age 15, I was state alternate for the Governor's Honors Program, a residential gifted summer enrichment program. That means only two other people outperformed me in the entire state of Georgia on a topic I sort of picked randomly out of a hat because I was a well-rounded student and didn't have any particular area of obvious strength like most candidates.

But more to the point, I have a form of cystic fibrosis and I have been getting myself well for nearly two decades while the entire world calls me crazy and a teller of tall tales and a liar and throws me off of one forum after another which is why I don't cite it more often as a reason I can empathize with someone like Mileva Einstein. I much more often compare myself to Semmelweis and talk about trying hard to not end up locked up in an insane asylum and beaten to death for the crime of thinking I know something medically useful.

What I know really ought to qualify me for something like the Nobel Prize in Medicine. But I'm not holding my breath. I'm not likely to ever get any recognition for my accomplishments. The dismissive nonsense in this thread is very much the norm, unfortunately.
They should offer the case/keys in more colors. I have the black keyboard and it's nice beyond anything I could expect at that price range.

Anyway, if they make the board available separately, there can be a huge ecosystem of interesting cases for it.
Dear team,

Latest research indicates that interruptions are a major distraction and cause of stress in the modern distributed workplace.

In keeping with our ongoing focus on the wellbeing of our staff, and in order to improve morale and productivity, these new policies are therefore in full effect starting immediately:

- Emails are to be checked and sent only during three half-hour periods each day: 8am, 1pm, and 4pm. This will prevent interruptions and maximise your focus.

- Instant Messaging (via teams AND slack) must be reserved only for urgent blockers. We are monitoring activity for the time being, continued "noisy" chatter on these channels may lead to further policy improvements.

- Phone calls and videoconferences require a clear, written agenda and are to be scheduled via email as per the thrice-daily email periods. All outcomes to be clearly documented in CRM, wiki, or task board as relevant. Email your project manager if you're uncertain on these processes.

- All such activities are to be logged against billable projects where relevant. Any non-billable communications are to be logged under "Focus Improvement - Internal"

Over time we will build up a clearer picture of focus, interruptions, and productivity, so our standard timekeeping policies remain in effect. Please submit all time entries immediately upon completion of any activity so that we can effectively track and manage these improvements.

And don't forget, our team virtual fitness challenge shirts are being ordered on Friday so don't forget to fill out the spreadsheet with your preferences and remember to hit up the donations page - it's for a great cause!

Love,

Management
I agree with your sentiment. Simply censoring out arguments that aren't stated offsensively is not how healthy discourse works.

That said I happen to disagree with his conclusion. As can be seen from SARS, MERS and now again SARS-CoV-2 swift action by Asian nations has been effective multiple pandemics in a row.

On the other hand Ebola, Zika and SARS-CoV-2 in African, South American and Western nations has exemplified what can happen if you react too slowly and without enough force.
(worth mentioning African nations mostly learnt their lesson here and used the systems developed to combat Ebola to shut down Covid19 fairly rapidly).

As a resident of Thailand I am probably somewhat biased but I see the lockdowns having been very effective here which allowed us to mostly return to daily life after only 4-6 weeks of extreme lockdown. This also follows for Vietnam, Japan, Taiwan and even China after they were able to get everything under control.

Arguing against something that clearly works and has allowed these nations to reignite their economic engines without fear of health system collapse seems disingenuous to say the least.
I recommend to use your own email domain with it. If you're ever locked out or want to switch, you can easily switch while keeping the same address.
I’m responsible for a fleet of a few hundred Raspberry Pis being used as home monitoring hubs - they use high grade SD cards, and are configured to write as little as possible while still fulfilling their function, yet we still see one or two a month fall of the internet because of SD card corruption. This is absolutely a problem.

I believe the compute module is somewhat better in that it uses eMMC rather than SD cards.
Can you clarify the point you are trying to make, because
at the moment I can only interpret your post as: "It's all overblown, these measures are not necessary".
Too bad in the Netherlands we are hamstrung by an asinine law that considers a 2-wheel scooter (called a "step" here) to be the same as a 4-wheel cart that carries children (called a "stint").

This law was prompted by an accident where a person driving children in an electric cart crossed train tracks into the path of an oncoming train, and 4 children were killed.

Electric 2-wheel scooters would be perfect for a lot of places in NL - places where there is already a shortage of bike parking, and places where if you park and lock your bike outside, it _will_ be stolen if it is halfway nice. At least with a folding scooter, you can take it inside with you easily. Plus you can take it onto a bus, which is not possible with a bike.

Normally the Dutch are pretty thoughtful about their approach to laws, but this one just makes no sense.
Where do you take your assumption?

I was trying to find anything specific about the iphone 12 gpu and i only found the same Apple 4 Core GPU.

I was not able to find any benchmark comparision either.

I found this, which is very unspecific:
"We didn't see as big a leap in graphics performance. On the 3DMark Wild Life test, the iPhone 12 hit 39 frames per second, while the iPhone 11 Pro Max scored an even higher 42 fps. But when we switched to the off-screen version of the test, the iPhone 12 Pro notched a higher 51 fps to the iPhone 11 Pro's 42 fps."

So if you don't have more details then i do, the basic assumption, you should make, is that its much easier to put much more silicon in a MBP than in a Smartphone and the chances, that a MBP is loosing against a Smartphone, would be very weird and very unrealistic.

And this has nothing to do with if someone likes apple or arm or whatever.

It is also not very easy to compare something like this if you don't know if there is a feature set difference and if one GPU can control 2-3 displays and the other only works for one display.
The article does a terrible job at addressing nuance. Take Australia - a country the size of Europe with a population of 25m, and Europe - a continent the size of Australia with a population of 750m. Clearly we can compare these like for like and whine about "culture".
> It's the company you keep ...

What is that supposed to mean?

> As if the Republican side didn't have enough bombings, drone strikes and so on.

I have a few friends at work that are from Pakistan. They prefer Trump over Obama because he isn't droning their homeland.

So they think Trump is an improvement.

> But choosing Trump of Clinton was just plain stupid, face it.

This is why everything is becoming polarised. This assumption that the other side is stupid or evil or both.

A lot of voters were turned off by Clinton calling Trump supporters deplorable. Others were worried after Clinton said she wanted to put a no-fly zone over Syria which would have meant a direct conflict with Russia.

I still remember Christopher Hitchen's scathing criticism of the Clitons.

https://christopherhitchens.net/hillary-clinton

He wrote a whole book about them IIRC.

There are a lot of valid criticisms of both Trump and Clinton however calling people stupid isn't going to convince anyone of your position.

I have been managing my own mail server for 6 years now, and enabling and configuring all the mail security features (DKIM, SPF, etc), and keeping up with them, is indeed the most difficult part. I regularly check my mail server against tools like this: https://mxtoolbox.com/diagnostic.aspx. If you just do one thing wrong, you will end up on some black list from which it is very difficult to get off. So far, I did not have any major problems, but after the initial default installation of Postfix in 2014, all my test mails to Google Mail went straight to Junk.

My server is at Hetzner, and there are some blacklists which block Hetzner IPs by default. You have to contact them, explain that your server is not a spam server, and hope to get whitelisted. In my case, it worked. T-Online in Germany also blocked my IP as well, but they were amazingly quick to whitelist it after I send them an email. They apologized and explained that they also block mail from Hetzner IPs by default.
My memories prefer an Apple II theme. Either brown and beige or beige on off-white.
Because while you can work from home and have a paycheck, thousands (millions?) of small businesses are closing and the people rely on those to make their money. I could endure a lockdown for years (heck, I've worked remotely for 10), but my friends that own a restaurant? Screwed! My coach that needs the athletes to practise? Screwed! Friend's mother that sells her vegetables in farmers markets? Screwed! etc etc

And with these closing, less money all around, other businesses end up following suit, even if they aren't directly affected, they will be down the line.

On the subject of heat, how is it on this thing? I've heard stories about the Pi 4 B.
"They are a private company so they can do whatever they want!"

- HN every single time someone banned for political reasons on Twitter, Facebook, Youtube etc.

Most likely something like that happened here too.

Considering Reddit now bans people for upvoting the "wrong political ideas" I can see Google banning people for a Youtube like or comment. But they are a private company and they can do whatever they want!
I think VEEAM has a community edition of their MS365 backup product that can do up to 10 accounts for free. The software is pretty bloated, but it’s reliable and gives you a PST file to work with.
What was your main motivation to put so much effort in making sure that you are not storing his/her email address?
Just watched a few videos on your channel and love it. Really great stuff.

I love this Pi 400 and think in the new year I will pick one up for my son. We have a Pi 4 that we use a lot and he loves but like you say in your video it is a bit annoying with this little box off the side with a bunch of cables coming out of it.

Not terrible by any means just annoying so I really love the form factor of it all being in the keyboard.

I have thought for a while now they should do this kind of form factor or sell a simple RPi branded monitor with a Pi built in so I am happy to see they thought about it too. A keyboard is much more practical than a monitor of course so it is a far more sensible choice!

Really hope this sells well and they continue with this kind of form factor in the future. Even a slightly bigger keyboard with a "forehead" (C64 vibes) would be excellent.
There are even more interesting concrete similarities between Germany about 150 years ago, and China about 20 years ago:

- there's a theory that Germany caught up to Britain by ignoring international (well, British) copyright law in the 19th century and flooded the domestic market with cheap "illegal" copies of British (and from everywhere else) books and scientific papers, which greatly helped to develop German industry and science in the following decades [1]

- The now well-regarded "Made in Germany" was mandated by the UK to warn British customers about cheap copycat products from Germany (which later backfired because those products were both cheap and high-quality) [2]

This article hasn't been grammer checked, uses a lot of recent, sensationalist words, doesn't ask questions directly except at the end, provides no new or interesting information on Mileva, her accomplishments or her day to day, her kids and family, background, or their accomplishments. I conclude with no picture of what her life was like.

It's substance consists fully of vague diatribes about why Mileva didn't get credit for general relativity, asking vague, emotional questions that can easily be construed as accusations without providing new information or answers.

It is, by definition, trite and spin and poisons the news feed of HN. If it's a slow news day, it's a slow news day.

This reminds me of slashdot back in the early 2010's after Cowboy McNeal sold it off to I think it was Dice. Every day there was minimum 1-2 SJW Agenda pieces; initially they were recieved warmly but as the material got more and more radical over time, the community realized what was going on and turned extremely vitriolic. Then they drew an unbelievable amount of automated bot spam and even people with old accounts became hostile and left. Towards the end, they got sneakier and sneakier about the agenda pieces; you'd see one about an obvious feminist topic draw ire and a tremendous amount of vitriol, then another about "How do I help my daughter learn STEM\Electronics". Articles like the ladder became more common and people began ignoring them. Eventually the community left and all you had were a bunch of hateful people left. BizX stopped posting those pieces after buying the site a few years backl; They have a different agenda mostly inline with their financial portfolio.

I remember when the site had minimum 300-400 responses per article, many of which were tremendously useful, with some articles hitting 1000-2000 and it did that on every article. Today they're lucky to hit 100 and most of that, these days, looks like astroturf.
China's success is weird. Almost none of what they're doing should work. For example, according to their totally-not-propaganda publication describing how they controlled coronavirus, the foundation is public temperature screening - it's that which feeds potential cases into testing and later contact tracing - and that just fundamentally doesn't work. The false positive and negative rates are atrocious, especially if you do it with forehead thermometers and thermal cameras like they do. They also do big, high-profile testings of entire cities which don't seem to find anything, making them useless. Meanwhile, there kept on being incidents like someone admitted to hospital with coronavirus symptoms in the main city of the region where the big outbreak was known to be at the time not getting tested for coronavirus and spreading it in the hospital. Or China completely missing an outbreak until it happened to spread to the better-tested and better-protected Beijing.

There are some things they do that should have some effect, like treating everyone from Wuhan like a plague carrier very early on in the outbreak (bit late to replicate that now, and China and the WHO loudly campaigned to make sure other countries didn't anyway) and quarantine for people returning to the country. We know from New Zealand though that even dedicated quarantine hotels are too leaky to really work at China scale - and there's also the problem of their extremely long land borders.
I did a talk [0] at the LISA conference back in 2013 with a narrative around the same stat "bug" and how it caused a huge outage when we were in the final days of rendering a movie. Instead of debugging I was focussing on how complex systems fail. (If you just want the stat story watch the beginning, skip to 14:00 and then from 41:30 for the conclusion.)

While I love reading about how someone can patch a binary to work around this, to me it's more interesting to think about the systemic failures. The problem ultimately is that one system is sending another a response that it can't handle, but the original Unix API has made this impossible to handle. In fact in both this article and my talk, receiving a 64-bit inode causes the segfault, but neither program was asking the filesystem for an inode in the first place. (Ultimately the fix in TFA was to ignore the result of the stat call.)

It's amazing that software works at all when you're dealing with latent 25 year old "bugs" that are really just badly designed APIs and poorly implemented specs. And the organisational failures that force us to maintain compatibility with ancient binaries without access to the source. The author here did a great job working resolving something that a lot of folk would have just walked away from.

Hooks, and algebraic effects more generally, made a lot more sense to me when I realized they’re really syntactic sugar for a pretty common and useful pattern.

Imagine, for a moment, that every React functional component was passed context as an argument. It’s a black box that you can only interact with through a few public methods - ctx.useState, etc.

For consistency, since we are likely to wrap these in higher order utilities, let’s make them functions not methods: useState(ctx, ...)

Now, it would be annoying to pass ctx around to every prop. So since JS is single-threaded, you could validly use the hack: let’s just store the current value of ctx before calling our component code, then it can be implicit at the call site.

And you might implement this as a decorator (@ annotation) that wraps your component, which you can do in Python. But that’s redundant too since the presence of hooks implies the need for it. So magically imply that wrapper if it’s needed.

That’s it. That’s hooks. It’s the same pattern as “accept a bound function/callback as an argument” except React does the binding for you and places it in the argument list for you. All you need to do is use it.
Google filters their own email sometimes. I’ve seen them filter facebookmail.com too. Microsoft is just as bad. It’s incompetence. The only difference with using a huge provider is they can probably contact someone to get it resolved. As the little guy you can’t.
Fully agree and you can be certain that Facebook does save your E-Mail address.

I use authentication services like auth0 and AWS cognito. The first one I think is completely safe for privacy, the second one is used for convenience (I think the service is good for stuff you host on AWS anyway, although it is generic, so it isn't restricted to that).

But using an auth-service is mostly about deferring risk of breaches to people more proficient in security. That comes with the cost that said auth service can know which services registered users are using.

The author is correct though. While a user that employs such an auth service, it can be good practice to hash the mail-address or even other identifiers for you own DB (you still need that to associate state with a user).
The T1i is not listed on their compatibility page. Which version of the utility did you get for it?
Probably as the pi was designed for 6th formers to use - letting 8-10 year olds lose on them :-)
We did this slightly differently. For login we stored a hash of the normalized email address (all lowercase, and handling gmail's dots and plusses). For sending emails we had them encrypted in a separate database, which only the mail-sending servers had access to - not the web-facing servers. That way we didn't need to ask for the email address every time, and it was still fairly well protected.
