I read a article pre-covid about a restaurant owner in SF who'd closed her sit-down, full service restaurant and opened a counter-service/takeout restaurant instead. Less staff, less overhead, more customers, and she felt it was a better model for everyone involved.

Even before Covid, the sit down restaurant service with it's hostess and waiters and 3 course menus seemed to be going the way of the movie theater. Who has time, who has energy, and who wouldn't be just as happy getting Doordash and eating in the comfort of their home and probably watching a movie at the same time? Fewer and fewer people it turns out.
We've already tried that. Cafeterias have their place, but places like Luby's and other cafeteria style restaurants are on their way out.

> Yet a gulf seems to separate the publicly expressed attitudes and private decisions.

I would be more surprised if this were not true. It's not very PC to say, but quite simply being different is not inherently a moral good. Downs Syndrome in particular is more controversial, because people who have this disorder typically are happy in their lives. I've spent a not insignificant part of my life working with teenagers and adults with Downs Syndrome as a volunteer, and all of the people I've worked with have been cheerful and generally seem to have a high enjoyment factor in their lives. On the flip side, all of them required life-long assistance and care, never able to function completely independently, and lacking in almost all other meaningful quality of life factors.

It is entirely possible, without any dissonance whatsoever, to respect the autonomy and wonder of human life and the rights of people with disabilities, while also understanding that having children with debilitating permanent disabilities can be a heartbreaking exercise that drains you emotionally, mentally, and physically. Nobody reasonable wishes for their child to suffer from such a disability, so the moral implications of the shift towards prenatal screening and following abortion are more about the abortion than the rest of the conversation. Denmark, in particular, has a very open social view towards abortion, so the fact that abortion rates are so high when negative screening occurs is unsurprising. I'm sure the result would differ in other countries in proportion roughly to their social views on abortion.
Don't need SFP for 10G. an 8P8C connector is still fine for that.
Eh, realistically human evolution has been driven by almost all sexual selection for most as long as we've been around.
It's saying that if we terminate base on a disability we are preventing that person from a chance a life based on the assumption that it would be better not to exist rather than have the disability in question. Those born with these disabilities might disagree and they might see such an action as a judgement against their own existence. This further adds to their suffering.
There always after-birth abortion, although that's probably a lot less ethical.
I'm in an older home that leaks a sieve but has central air. Would turning on that house fan to circulate without running the AC accomplish the same thing? Also, do any smart thermostats allow this sort of thing to be automated?

Well, that right there is your mistake. Instead of James Charles introduce her to VSauce or Primitive Technology or any number of youtube channels that are truly related to creativity /mind inquiry.

I used to watch a lot of Discovery Channels on TV when I grew up in the 90's. Some stuff I've learned back then it became gateway drug to tinker with electronics, which led to my current profession as programmer.

Search on DDG for other statements from Tony Bobulinksi. He was one of Hunter Biden's business partners, and a former Navy officer (unlike Hunter, he didn't get kicked out of the Navy for drug abuse). Bottom line: Hunter's income stems almost entirely from foreign powers buying access to his father. Most dangerously, the Chinese.
It can definitely help since you're removing the network operator from the critical path. Large enterprises and ISPs are, not without reason, very conservative about breaking legacy clients but a browser vendor only has to worry about their own software in the release they ship DoH in (with some caveats they've addressed about internal split-view DNS, etc.) so they don't have to deal with complaints if, say, including an extra header breaks 5% of old IoT devices which haven't had an update in a decade.
On this general topic, someone pointed out to me years ago that whenever interest rates are lower than inflation, 'investing in your future' may be the best use for the money.
That could be increasing your salary, making yourself more employable, building your social network, or even finding a pastime that makes you happier than what you usually do with your free time.
Personally, I think “creates awareness” vs “creates conflict” is a false dichotomy. It can be both.

But... isn’t your comment doing just the thing you are saying is destructive? Are you woke to something here, which is animating you, and it’s not exactly based in evidence?
Oh I see, solving a different problem to me I suppose but fair enough.
I agree it isn't the same as a racial slur but master and slave mean completely different things in different systems. Usually if not always there are more descriptive terms like primary and replica.
I'm happy to see lower commission, but I'm skeptical of programs that require an application and an approval process.

Why not implement this like a tax bracket? For the first $1 million each year, Apple's commission is 15%. For each dollar after that, the commission rate is 30%. No programs, no application process.
Why don't we just kill the poor people? /s

Scary part is that it does seem to be a part of the left's platform. Decades ago the left used to be the champions of free speech and the right wanted limits. Now that is reversed. Even the ACLU has questioned their commitment to free speech.
Why wouldn’t the Down Syndrome patients themselves have children?
Things every great designer has in common
Ever wonder what are the characteristics of a great designer? Sometimes, you may have to meet with some designers which only know about the tools of photoshop but don’t even know how to think creatively or how to fulfills the needs of the customer. I took the time to research the qualities of the great designers and here are 6 things every great designer has in common.

How is this company still allowed to pollute Hacker News and not treated as a low key fraudulent org? Other than the fact that the founder takes eighteen adderall prior to each post and defends any comment critical of Lambda School?
I think the issues you mention are mostly just a matter of differing perspectives. The author starts from the perspective that the underlying signals are all fundamentally complex, and a real signal (the projection of the 'true' signal onto the real axis, or upconverted complex baseband) is transmitted for physical convenience (i.e. possible to build). It sounds like you start from the perspective that the underlying signals are real, and the "artificial" analytic signal is only introduced as a mathematical convenience ("negative frequencies do not exist!").

IMO either perspective is fine - neither is "wrong" or "right."

> because it's hard to determine the power (not even sure what he/she means there)

I think they are referring to the fact that having the analytic representation makes envelope detection trivial.

Just so you know, the pdf display embed only works in desktop screens etc., mobile screens would open pdf in a new tab in mobile browser. This is because pdf embed within app makes text to be too small for some readers.
There were 150 people waiting in line before the store opened on a weekday? Do you think they were waiting for the latest AMD GPU or that they were trying to get a new console for the holidays?
> I imagine fewer airlines will be buying Boeing.

Why? Plenty of airlines kept ordering the DC-10 after its grounding was lifted. If the aircraft is certificated it's good to buy, in business terms.

Buying Boeing right now is an excellent idea for most airlines since discounts will be deep in order to get the order book filled.

I'll bet Ryanair will announce a big top-up order soon.
and the institution will pass it's bias onto the workers, well intentioned or otherwise.

> to prevent reodering of instructions

GPUs don’t reorder, their EUs are way too simple for that. Are you certain GPU drivers reorder instructions while recompiling DXBC into their microcode?

> HLSL is bit better at controlling this than GLSL is.

BTW, if you compile acos() in HLSL and disassemble the output DXBC, you’ll see a really strange sequence of 10 instructions (mad, mad, mad, add, lt, sqrt, mul, mad, and, mad) . The precision is indeed lost that way. Still, if you really need that, you can implement full-precision stuff on top of what’s available.

> Using workgroup shared memory is now a thing

Was always there. CUDA 1.0 was released in 2007, D3D 11 in 2008.

> But oh boy those are pain to program in compared to OpenCL or Cuda.

D3D 12 is a pain to program in general, too low level. But for GPGPU, I personally never needed command queues, I’m quite happy with old-school D3D 11. Despite the API is mostly single threaded, with some care you can do stuff in parallel. Things like ID3D11DeviceContext::CopyResource are asynchronous, you can go quite far with deeply pipelined commands without doing it manually like you have to in D3D12.

>> 1-2 months is a more reasonable tiny project timeframe. It gives you enough time to build something with substance, and test the idea thoroughly.

This is a similar timeframe that Basecamp uses for internal initiatives. I've been pushing for us to switch from 2-week sprints to something closer to 6-week features. If you're building on existing product or a brand new one 1-2 weeks is just not enough time for meaningful progress.
If it is unpaid for the student, and the end “customer” is a for-profit business, even if it is characterized as part of a course of study, it seems very likely illegal, though the program seems to be structured in a way intended to provide an argument (though IMO a rather superficial, pretextual one) that it does not require payment under the applicable federal rules [0].

Enforcing this kind of equal pay law will result in a mass shifting of jobs to 3rd world countries the likes the world has never seen before.
In Portland (Pre-Covid), a popular upscale restaurant model was to wait in line to pre-order at the counter, then grab your own silverware and table, and a non-server would bring out your order.

Often this would allow restaurants to serve upscale food at cheaper prices due to low overhead. Even with their successfully efficient business model, many are closing permanently.

Your comment sounds dramatically bitter.
This reflects my personal view of the "real" economy. Nearly everyone around me is absolutely destitute. Meanwhile, equities are trading at all time highs. There is an enormous disconnect, at least in my specific area.
At the risk of a reddit-style comment: "Yes please."

Honestly just reverse the drug bans, treat them life public health problems, and disband agencies like this. Nothing good has ever come out of giving government agencies this kind of power and this kind of mandate.
You are welcome to be as unaccomodating as you'd like in your own projects, but if the people doing the work in projects such as git want to make this change that is their choice. what you're really arguing is that they should be accomodating to your opinion and not others'.

"master" in a computer science context isn't named after master of ceremonies, but after the offensive master/slave meaning.
"modern medicine that will result in mankind accumulating more and more genetic defects."

Citation needed...

A lot of autosomal recessive genetic disease is a result of humans reproducing within their in-group, making the likelihood of two carriers of the same variant having offspring with that expressed variant. BRCA1 / BRCA2 in the Ashkenazi Jewish population are a common example.
Nothing about medical genetic testing will directly cause more genetic defects.

In the nineties (1990-1999) we had a distribution deal in the USA with the PowerUp! catalog for a software product that moved a few millions of copies. Of the $24.99 sticker price we received something like $0.80 and that was an USA-only deal. Giving 30% for a worldwide deal when the distributor takes care of all the billing and taxing and accounting and distribution is the deal of the century.

There's a gulf between getting a kernel fork to run on an ARM SoC and getting mainline Linux support for it.

I think there is a certain tension between on the one hand being against children being aborted for downs syndrome, but being OK with children with no detected abnormalities being aborted for lifestyle/career reasons.

I have no idea to what degree, but I think humid air reduces the efficiency of AC.
I found that over the past year, people who didn't talk about politics or who had well thought out posts have changed into hot-takes machines or constantly ridiculing bad replies. I have purged follows several times over the past few years, but I find that the same people that I learned new things from a few months ago changed and got more toxic over time. I recently realized that I would read Twitter for a half hour and at the end couldn't think of a single useful thing I learned but my brain felt more chaotic and stressed. Every once in a while I find a new person to follow and learn a new perspective, but if you step back and ask how often that really happens, it is becoming more rare. It has just gotten too hard to filter the noise myself. Twitter inherently sends you superficial, inflammatory ideas faster than I can figure out if they are BS or not. People who I thought were reliable a few months ago change and become unreliable as they get recruited into some tribal war in their own information bubble.
> GTD is not about getting things done; it’s about being engaged appropriately in your life

It seems awkward to have to explain that "Getting things done" is not about getting things done :P
It's a valid perspective, so I think the downvotes aren't in order. However I strongly disagree. Having Down syndrome isn't just being "outside the conventional parameters of of normality", it's a serious disease with life-altering implications. You will never surpass the cognitive capacity of a young child, you will have impaired vision and hearing, if you ever manage to speak at all, you will probably lose that ability at around 30 years of age. You will have a myriad other chronic and painful health problems, and then you will finally die at around age 40 (maybe more with enough high-quality support). This is not a life worth living, if I ever were in such a situation I would pray to be euthanised.

It used to be complicated because of the Intel SKUs.

Now Apple will simply use the next M Chip on MacBook Pro 16" and put it into Mac mini. And that should have spare PCI-E lane for 10Gbps Ethernet.
So, I looked it up, and it's indeed deprecated.

This is pretty ridiculous. The web is such a hack already, and deprecating this make it even worse at UIs. It seems every decision is optimised for branding (e.g. custom form controls), usability be damned.

I don't know that I see the point of this study.

First, it's not testing the efficacy of wearing a mask: it's testing the efficacy of telling someone to wear a mask. This is explicitly stated in the "limitations" section.

Second, getting a decent control group is almost impossible. Essentially no one in modern society is unaware of COVID or the recommendation to wear a mask, and essentially no one had failed to form an opinion on whether or not they will comply with that recommendation. And indeed, "variable adherence" is another factor called out in the limitations.

The summary could be reworded "having one more doctor tell someone to wear a mask does not make them less likely to contract COVID-19."

This study is very much not about the efficacy of state- or nation- wide mask mandates.
Wow, such empty!

From an outsider point of view, I feel like Mozilla really missed the opportunity to invest in servo as a real world renderer and build a community around it. In this day and age is a shame that various out-of-date versions of webkit are the only things that you can build a niche browser on.

By niche I mean the myriad of keyboard driven browsers. kiosks, QML, electron, etc.
Actually read an article recently about the sea planes idea: https://warontherocks.com/2020/07/bring-back-the-seaplane/ . It's an interesting idea, but something where there will need to be a lot of research before it is viable. It's unclear if you can create a decent modern fighter that is also a sea plane. However, if you could, using those with a seaplane tender would be much easier from a logistics standpoint than the EAB. Even if you can't make a decent fighter seaplane, having a seaplane tanker would be very helpful for extending the range of the carrier air wing, as mentioned in the link.

For the drones, it's complicated. Airborne refueling has been a thing for decades, but off the top of my head there's never been airborne re-arming. But even if you had that you would still need to land for maintenance. But still you could probably keep these drones in the air for multiple days, maybe even a week at a time. But the logistics of managing so many tankers gets complicated fast. Check out the Black Buck raids for an example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Black_Buck . And that's just for a bombing raid, if you want to maintain a combat air patrol you'll need even more tankers running continuously, and a bunch more fighters since for every one on station there will be multiples coming to/from a base or a tanker. I think long-range drones will definitely be a part of future warfare, but I think you still want a carrier to base them. I think all you need to do is move the carrier further away from anti-ship missile platforms, and increase the striking range of the air wing to compensate. There's a very lengthy write up on this if you are interested: https://csbaonline.org/uploads/documents/CVW_Report_Web_1.pd...
How many people sent a fax to a tow truck when they got in an accident? How many people met their future spouse faxing?

Companies can't stop you from unionizing. They can choose not to accept the collective agreement and they can hire permanent replacement for strikers.

As for whether anyone should have a problem, you're welcome to have a problem. It's a free country. Whether that will lead to an outcome you desire is independent, though.
Have you chosen the most heinous crime you can think of for this goofy analogy, in hopes the immorality of murder would tarnish Tim Sweeney by association?

My neighbor runs a restaurant. This is really hard work. He seems to work 7 days a week from late morning till after midnight.

Restaurants are a really nice to have thing when your worn out from work and you do not want to have to think about cooking.

I think there is another aspect to this that goes beyond restaurants and more towards small businesses in general. If we consider that Yelp does more than just restaurant reviews, this fact of 60% closures is going to have a huge impact on state budgets with the loss of tax revenue.
News about this sort of thing tends to be local-centric; I expect it's mostly being referred to as the BoiNtec vaccine in Germany.

It is not. It's virtually impossible to hire an intern without paying them -- the company would have to show that the intern learned a skill, and that the company saw no benefit, at all.
