In WSL 1, Linux accessing Windows files is slow, and Linux accessing Linux files is extremely slow.

In WSL 2, Linux accessing Windows files is very slow, and Linux accessing Linux files is fast.

A couple of years back Fastmail’s webmail build process did a lot of theoretically unnecessary process spawning and file rereading (spawning Node.js several thousand times). I don’t have the exact figures on hand, but in WSL 1 with the files on C:, a full build would take about half an hour (files in WSL was not even worth considering, it took many hours). Under WSL 2 on C:, that full build would take an hour and a half. Under WSL with files under Linux, it was down to just a few minutes (partly because of faster I/O, partly because of faster process spawning). As I say, I don’t have the exact figures on hand, but that’s my recollection of the ballparks.

Like you, I steadily shifted just about all my stuff to the Linux side and reaped the benefits. After a while I even uninstalled Windows gVim altogether as I was always using Linux Vim in the terminal. (I start things in VcXsrv occasionally, but not often.)
Reminds me of a popular Japanese service called Marshmallow (マシュマロ), used widely by quasi-popular people such as YouTubers. The idea of anonymous feedback services has been around for quite a while (I believe Marshmallow is the first and most popular, and there are multiple alternatives), but seems unknown outside of Far East Asia. https://marshmallow-qa.com
> I'm not a FB hater, and I think the social integrations

If it wasn't the case that the "social integrations" are required for you to use a product, post-fact from when you bought it.

Changing the rules of the game for people who spent money in a product is slimy at best, complaining about it doesn't make one a "FB hater".
Twisted things being done in our elections goes back to Tammany Hall. If you know where to look in American history it's not hard to find credible instances of important elections having substantial amounts of fraud. Why do people believe that when the chips are down and vast amounts of money and power are at stake that people are simply going to play fair? Especially when the players are some of the most ruthless, narcissistic, and sociopathic people in America?

>The validity of the runoff election was challenged before the US Supreme Court due to allegations of election fraud, and in later years, testimony by parties involved indicated that widespread fraud occurred and that friendly political machines[3] produced the fraudulent votes needed for Johnson to have a numerical majority, in effect stealing the election.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1960_United_States_presidentia...

> Some, including Republican legislators and journalists, believed that Kennedy benefited from vote fraud from Mayor Richard Daley's powerful Chicago political machine. [12] Mayor Daley’s machine was known for "delivering whopping Democratic tallies by fair means and foul."[13] Republicans tried and failed to overturn the results at the time—as well as in ten other states.[13] Some journalists also later claimed that mobster Sam Giancana and his Chicago crime syndicate "played a role" in Kennedy's victory. [13] Nixon's campaign staff urged him to pursue recounts and challenge the validity of Kennedy's victory, however, Nixon gave a speech three days after the election stating that he would not contest the election.[14]
No bullchain, please! There are better and simpler systems using public key cryptography!
It's the same old problem with getting only one side of the story. Omit a key detail or twist the facts in a slight arguable way and it can totally change things.

Having said that, I don't know that the above hypotheses are enough to matter. There's a difference between "de-platforming" people and destroying their property. Perhaps if the redditer is omitting the fact that there's a solution but they just don't like it (e.g. using their "real" account instead of this fake one that got suspended or something).
Minoritarian rule through anti-democratic bodies like the EC and the Senate is a dark path to tread.

The states have sovereignty through federalism and the US constitution. The EC and the Senate are not necessary to their sovereignty.

You can do this but with anonymized private key cards.
>"is your input structured or free text?" "Are records separated by linebreak or something else?" "Are there fields in the records?" "Are you looking to perform an aggregation?"

Yeah, that'd be awesome. I guess I'll just have to give a shot at it sometime, get feedback, improve and repeat the process until there's a good enough resource. That'll likely give me good returns in terms of sales too.

For now, writing one yourself could help. Since you know sed/awk, try writing equivalent ones with Perl with help of the book. For options, create a cheatsheet that you can refer quickly from the command line. Whenever you see something that isn't easily possible with sed/awk, put it under a special section so that you can build a list where perl would be better (I give some examples of this in the first section of introduction chapter). I also mention resources for getting started with Perl in the Preface chapter.

I often use my books as a reference guide, because I can't remember all the syntax and gotchas. The situation is worse now compared to few years back because I have had to dive deeper to write these books. I'm old enough that learning new things has become difficult. I wish to create a cli lookup (something similar to the guide/flowchart), but for now the web version created with mdbook serves as the best way for me to look up something.

Deadlifts cured my lower back pain. I did take a class on form though.
Presumably because they'd want something that another union state provides, and/or benefits that comes with being a larger country rather than an small independent one.

A union can't really be "equal" between all states unless all states contribute and benefit equally, and you can't really expect millions of people who live in a prosperous and populous state to be willing to discount their own voices so that the voices of those who may contribute less count far more than theirs. I'm not sure a perfect system exists -- it's all a series of tradeoffs, and a popular vote system would have its own -- but saying that the 700k people living in Alaska should have the exact same influence as the 40 million people living in California doesn't make things any better.

Ultimately, a country is made up of people, not political entities.
Thanks, that's quite good.
That's a good question... I actually don't know what happens. I'm guessing they prefer the official binaries, but that's just a guess.
I feel like part of this is just a result of how hostile a web-based work experience can be.

On my work computer, to do a simple task it often requires logging in to myriad services that need to be finagled in concert. Each with a different password that expires regularly, but of course also MFA. Often more “work” than the “work” itself.

And that’s often the happy path rather than multiple attempts to the same service, vpn woes, etc.

Oh you just updated your computer? Now re-log in to your vpn, atlassian, GitLab, slack, zoom, outlook, aws, and others. Want to watch a slack recording? You’re logged into the desktop application but now enter your credentials, again, this time in the browser.. it never ends.
I do. I can safely say all my future dwellings will have whiteboards too. Indispensable for me.

An issue with both notebooks and computers is that once I write/draw something, I don’t have the discipline to revisit. Whereas a whiteboard is always in view and I can reorganise it or add to while going about day to day activities.

The only drawback I’m seeing is the more I use it, the more indispensable I find it.

Likely barred due to binding arbitration clauses. The upside of such is that Facebook has to pay the arbitration filing fees, so you can get a full refund for the device out of it (it's cheaper than paying for arbitration).
In general I think racism and misogyny will need to be disarmed in ways that they haven't been in the past. Nextdoor and Reddit might be best examples which Twitter and Facebook could follow. Increasing friction to post/repost, more fact checks, more labels on misinformation, and better localized moderation in general should be something these companies should have a good handle on already, but it seems like they've barely started grasping the problems.

It almost seems like if this isn't tackled head on instead of being ignored, that there might be scant progress on other issues like climate change.
Assuming college students are on average more liberal than their parents, parents fraudulently filling in votes for their children would benefit the GOP more than the Democrats.
Hi, Saagar from the iSH team here. We received a call from someone who runs App Review at Apple earlier this evening. They apologized for our review experience, telling us that they've accepted our appeal and that they will not be removing iSH from sale tomorrow. We'll work out the details with them in the coming days.

A huge thanks to all of you for your support of iSH!
Red light cameras are ostensibly for safety, but the incentives are bad. What should save lives is compromised by the profit motivation to increase citation issuance. My feeling is that Apple’s behavior is analogous to reducing yellow light durations. It’s strong enough that I regularly check in on https://puri.sm/products/librem-5/ in the hope that the switch will soon be practical.
This has cool graphics but it doesn't seem to simulate fluid dynamics (which requires solving a differential equation).
I'd be very surprised (given the appeal to Reddit's political leanings) if all of those aren't examples of reddit's favorite past-time (creative writing).

Like, come on, there is no possible way these people are actually dumb enough to even question whether or not someone voting for you is allowed, yet they all ask that question. Because if they didn't ask a dumb question like that, their creative writing sample wouldn't get to live in /r/legaladvice.
Not sure if this is asking people what they take versus asking or recommendations.

Anyway, I've taken adrafanil which is legal in the US at least because I have a erratic and often brutal sleep schedule. It does for me what I always thought caffeine was supposed to do, but never did for me: provide a subtle, but noticeable wakefulness effect even under multiple days of not having slept.
The people you're trying to impress often only get a quick preview into your life. You only get first impressions, and no opportunity to explain why your phone has nicks in it. (Think: business meetings.)

The people spend enough time around you to know that your phone, while looking a little beaten, is actually very reliable -- they don't care what kind of phone you have.

I think the film Parasite portrays the nuances of this kind of status quite well. (Even though the film is slightly comedic, I don't think the portrayal of status is exaggerated in the film.)
Yes, I agree a huge reason people buy Macs is for the software, but I don’t believe it’s true at all for Netflix.

i have an l5-l6 l6-s1 hernation from deadlifting.

it's a somewhat similar story across some of my friends who i deadlift with.

Just as a warning, there are a myriad of issues on linux. I took the time to dissect an entire video some fellow did on the topic, because he framed it as being linux's fault and not his or Blackmagics. (him for lack of troubleshooting and blackmagics for some dev mistakes on the linux version)

Bottom line is be willing to play around with your DE/WM to get Resolve working well in linux. If you do that it can be a much nicer experience.

Hangover Series Episode 1 “Yes or No”
I've only worked on one US election (Colorado 2014), but they did check people off a database when they voted. So some places already do this. Unfortunately that database went down multiple times during the day, leading to long queues and delays for voters.

In Australia, we do a similar check, but using paper rolls and cross-check for duplicates afterwards. No computer to go down means no delays.
If they find a duplicate they investigate, and if there's ever enough to make a difference, they would re-run the election in that area.
Once we lost a box of votes and they had to re-run the election across a whole state to make sure.
Here's a page to download Linux binaries:

https://developer.amd.com/amd-aocl/amd-math-library-libm/

The license there looks much less friendly than the 3-clause BSD on Github.

I was unable to build this on macOS 10.13, because "aliases are not supported on darwin".

I'm curious to see the tests, which have not been checked in yet. There was a story a month ago about the Android calculator's library, and how it is used to test java.lang.Math:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24700705

I wonder what this library's accuracy tests look like.

I'm also curious, of course, to see what kind of performance difference there is. An old post by Agner Fog shows an 85% reduction in run time relative to glibc on AMD hardware:

1. Already exist in various forms, for the purposes of voting.

2. See #1.

3. When people vote by mail, they get ticked off in #1. This doesn't happen immediately, because mail-in ballots can be claimed lost or found to be spoiled (with opportunity for correction), and because they have to be cross-referenced against in-person votes - which is why it takes days or weeks for all ballots to be tallied.

People running elections aren't stupid. They've already thought of all this.

Unfortunately, the barrier to making false or completely unsubstantiated allegations about wide-spread voter fraud is zero, so every Tom, Dick, and Harry is currently throwing in their two cents on the matter. (Bonus points if they don't actually understand, or actively pretend to mis-understand how the process currently works.)

I'd give those claims the time of day when their proponents are ready to put some skin in the game, and swear on them under penalty of perjury.
The U.S. certainly has a problem with gun violence, but I fear gun access is the proximal problem while our cultural relationship with violence and revenge is the root of the problem. (See also death penalty support, recent violent protests in Oregon and Washington, etc.) Note that the areas with very high rates of legal gun ownership aren't the hotspots of gun violence [0]. Switzerland and several other Eurpean countries have very high rates of gun ownership, but low rates of gun violence. Certainly, fixing a sick culture is more difficult than reducing gun access, but I think long-term, we need to figure out how to be a more peaceful and forgiving society, or much of the gun violence will just shift to (granted, much less efficient) knife violence. I think improving America's culture of violence and revenge will also pay mental health dividends. Sometimes you really need a crutch or a bandaid, but it's important not to mistake it for an end-goal solution.

Do any of you have any insights into ways individuals can ensure they at least leave the culture less violent than they found it?

I've seen some good very large digital surveys. We do some - geared towards measuring ad recall/lift - and I find them valuable, especially a giant sample on only two recall + head to head questions

You can always ask for gender/age and weight it but that's part of what I see as the problem. so many 'traditional' surveys i see make fairly large adjustments, lots of 'looking back' at past turnout and over fitting based on personal bias. Especially when weighting from very small sub-sample xtab e.g. hispanics. im not a pollster and that's just my still fairly-insider / polling adjacent insight

Another problem with digital surveys is most of the firms do opt-in panels, like having people register to take surveys and get paid on mechanical turk. and then they weight from there. I think this is a problem. The surveys we do run inside of mobile ads, similar to Google / FB Brand Lift surveys they go after those who saw the ads or a truly random sample, not a small biased group of survey panel
Failing USB electronics seems symptomatic of corner cutting at the level of pennies per unit. Sure anyone can get a bad batch of chips. It’s what gets done about it that speaks to quality.

This wasn’t rough use by me. It was barely used. It was a manufacturing defect and there is no way that Unicomp could not know after the keyboard was in their shop and unlikely they didn’t know before. You just can’t be in the keyboard business that long and not know what is going on.

They probably made good keyboards for a long time and might again. Mine was poorly made in terms of reliability and I don’t have confidence that they repaired it with more reliable components.
It does have generics.
This "Chicago political machine" was later shown to have committed voter fraud in 1982. 26 people were convicted[1], and here's the grand jury report[2]. They had been getting away with it, until they didn't.

Fortunately, as media reassure us, today voting fraud simply cannot happen: you'd need a whole conspiracy of dozens of people, a real, as one could call it, machine.

> (and I can't leave apple, because I can't leave my users)

You have to. That's the only thing that will ever stop Apple doing this, if devs leave and users leave. Otherwise why would they care?
> which if I recall correctly requires you to basically outsmart your OS to install software using the GUI.

This feels a little overstated to me; the first time I run a GUI app that was downloaded from somewhere other than the App Store, I get asked "this was downloaded from foobar.com, are you sure you want to run it?" and click "Yes". I definitely wouldn't call that a "strict walled garden" comparable to the iOS App Store; if anything, I wish Gatekeeper existed on iOS the way it does on the Mac. (A few years ago I was half-expecting that to happen, as naive as it might sound: it seemed like it was a great solution to allowing sideloading while still letting Apple maintain some level of control, but it's become clear Apple still looks at iOS devices as more like game consoles than general purpose computers. It's possible it might yet happen to stave off antitrust concerns, I suppose.)

I live in an Eastern European country, and I see more BMWs here than my home country (UK). It's not that they are more reliable than other cars (I'd say the opposite infact), but having a BMW (even a 15 year old one that's starting to rust...) gives you status.
> They aren’t directly elected, but the minister is from the government of each country, which is elected (at least as most understand the term)

Many ministers are initially elected to posts in their national parliament and then promoted into a government job. But this is not a real requirement, and many aren't. And even those that we elected, we elected for national jobs, not for the EU, and I do think that that makes a difference. This is what I mean by indirect legitimation.

> Parliament is directly elected

Yes.

And that leaves the Commission, which is mostly former-ministers-who-need-a-job and are appointed based on negotiations between the governments.
