This method was talked about since the Spectre/Meltdown days. It has often taken Google much longer to release patches they've been sitting on, e.g. many original containers patches were like this.
I think it is not the purpose of this site to explain somebody how ZFS works, because this is simply just not done in 2 sentences. You need some hours and days to get the idea of ZFS.
From the wiki (posted by Eeems):
"transparency, if present, is taken into account by the tablet (meaning that the former content remains visible where the PNG is transparent; this is used e.g. by sleeping.png in the 'light sleep' mode)."
If I where a Facebook investor and read this, the thing I would focus on is:

The AI wasn’t up to the job. Important speech got swept into the maw of the Facebook filter—and risky content, like self-harm, stayed up.

The lesson is clear. Facebook’s algorithms are years away from achieving the necessary level of sophistication to moderate content automatically. They may never get there.

Most technical people have guessed that Facebooks AI wasn't actually any good. The non-technical world, like politicians, assumed that it was easy for Facebook to moderate. Facebooks magical AI could censor anything that governments deemed offensive. It turns out it can't, but Facebooks has done nothing do inform the world that their AI is no good. Admittedly I guessed that it didn't actually exists and was simply a keyword filter.

It implies they're trying to communicate with you rather than manipulate you.
I'm not asking for that, I am asking for a short, clear description of what their service is good for and why I might want it.
Another old fart here.

I switched to Macs back in 2006. I've used every OS you can imagine going back to VMS. I like Mac OS the best.

I missed the whole "keyboardgate" thing. My daily driver is a 2012 MBP with 16Gb RAM and 512Gb storage. It still does everything I need to do. From the development side that means running multiple VMs, running Docker and general application development. From the creative side that means writing and recording music with Logic Pro and working with photos in Adobe's Lightroom.

That's what Mac does so well - it gives me a good platform for both development and my creative outlets. I was recently thinking about my options for moving off of the Mac platform and they're rather bleak. On the software side Ubuntu Studio looks like the best option but on the hardware side? Slim pickings. For starters there's nothing, and I mean nothing, that compares with Apple's trackpad. Then there's the fact that the "Apple Tax" has largely evaporated - by the time I get a similarly-configured PC I'm in the same ballpark price-wise as a Mac. But I have a worse software experience.

I'm looking hard at the new MBA. I'm likely going to need a new machine in 2021/2022. At a minimum homebrew and Docker need to be working before I can make a switch. I've been stoked hearing that the performance of x86 applications are as good or even better than their performance on the current generation of MBP's. That's an impressive feat! Plus I figure if I ever need a "genuine x86" I can always spin-up an EC2 instance.

For development and creativity it's hard to beat a Mac!
> The point of linters is that most of us can imagine up more interesting problems to deal with.

I wasn't saying that linters were a problem, I was saying that the over application of linters was a problem.

In general, overly broad application of a tool is a problem, wether in programming or not. Linting is a tool, it is possible to over apply it, and I argue that this is regularly done with Rubocop.

> So we welcome the consistency and focus on something we care more about.

What is the goal of consistency?

We can’t know about long-term effects from the clinical trials. But that doesn’t mean that we don’t know anything about possible long-term effects — in fact, that’s categorically false. We know quite a lot about the underlying biology of these vaccines, and we have extensive data from animal testing. We can’t exclude all long-term effects but we know that they’re rather unlikely — mostly because there’s no plausible biological mechanism to cause them.

In particular, based on our biological knowledge, we can categorically exclude claims from conspiracy theorists about the RNA likely being integrated into our genome: this just isn’t how any of this works, it’s fiction.
Light and Glory over Crete
No, exactly. I got a free battery replacement on my Macbook Pro after 3 years of having it because the battery was unusable.

After going into the Apple store, they said that the battery was a "consumable part" and therefore not covered by the warranty. However, when I asked what the part number was and how I could order a replacement myself, they said that the batteries weren't serviceable and even they had to replace the keyboard unit as that contained the battery and it was all glued together.

I pointed out that they've therefore designed this product to fail after a few years as you can't order replacement batteries as a consumer, and they agreed to replace it for free.
I've been renting servers at Scaleway Dedibox (formerly Online.net) for years, with free unlimited bandwidth. I can be pretty bandwidth-intensive for a few weeks at a time (eg. rebalancing a storage cluster) and never had any trouble.
You’re speaking only of yourself and while you should be very happy you don’t suffer from any of a multitude of disorders, it’s highly classist and disrespectful to assume that nobody else else.

Consider anxiety disorders. There’s a crystal clear, fully scientifically proven reason that some can know the material but fail to perform on a test. Think more. It helps.
> I can imagine most of a powerful core's performance going unused if the operating system isn't doing anything special and a multithreaded workload is trying to get a lot of work done.

The documentation for this patchset seems to say that threads running in the same address space will be allowed to share core resources as a default, even when core scheduling is enabled - which seems sensible. A separate mechanism is provided to alter this behavior.
I don't think it's cargo culting, as much as it's a generation of gamers who were raised with the expectation of a "progression system". I remember back when EA was ridiculed for their statement about "giving a players a sense of pride and accomplishment" regarding requiring a long grind (or big payment) to unlock the most powerful characters in a Star Wars game. I've seen people beg developers to give them something pointless to grind for because they won't play a game without rewards. I think developers know how to make fun games, but I don't think most players want fun games because they've been conditioned to want addiction simulators with meaningless rewards.

Two Steps Forward, One Step Back – A Brief History of CSS Methodologies
I am a new user of GTD.

"It's about being able to take complete stock of your life on a regular basis"

Is it then enough to leave everything in Inbox and declutter Inbox periodically to delete items since done?
I wonder how viable it would be to just exclude all sites with ads.
If only. There are pretty much two settings available to most Americans: full time or more, and poverty. Relatively few people have the luxury of being able to spend a lot of time looking for better employment (again this is on top of all the working they are doing) or working less. I, for one, would gladly work a lot less for equivalently less pay, it just isn't an option available to me.
Tensorflow (or PyTorch, or any other framework) aren't the problem, though.

It's choosing a suitable net architecture, loss function, and training methodology all of which require in-depth knowledge and lots of experimentation.

Even after that you're only half way there, because now the fun and exploration is over and the pain begins: finding (and worse even - annotating!) and validating training data.

Once this herculean task has been finished, it's time to get your credit card ready and shell out hundreds of dollars/pounds/euros for days of GPU time to train the basic model.

With that out of the way, it's time for a little fun to return and finetune your model(s), which usually can be done using even a mediocre desktop PC or laptop.

There's a reason you can make serious money with even a comparatively simple and straight forward idea that uses ML and AI to get quality results. It's much, much more involved than just "learning some tensorflow".

In embedded systems we often want to dedicate one core to the safety critical parts. It is a major bug if that core is every more than 40% busy (exact number varies, the important part is to leave plenty of headroom in case the real world is more complex than your test situations). We don't care is the ui core gets busy and as a result has lag. (sometimes there is safety ui running on the not busy core)

If you watch the video it looks like their proposed syntax is not APL-like but closer to mainstream languages.

I'm honestly not sure if this is a good thing or not. You said "easier" syntax than APL but APL is honestly a very easy syntax for working with arrays. That's a significant part of the advantage of APL, it makes it very easy to come up with, talk about, and maintain array algorithms.

Matlab and Julia and other languages aimed at scientific computing have some array language-like traits but lack a lot of the functions that make APL more generally applicable. And .map is all wrong; it's extra noise and it doesn't generalize down to scalars or up to matrices—the defining feature of array languages is that operations are implicitly polymorphic over the rank of the input.
I don’t understand the direction of the arrows in the class diagram. In some cases they are pointing from a class to one of its subclasses, but in others they point from a subclass to its parent class.

How Startups Win Their Market with Positioning
I don't see it as lowering the cost of entry much (i.e. FPGA chip with reasonable number of gates for Linux is on the order of 50EUR/pc, and general purpose CPU performance is not even remotely close to, let's say Allwinner or Rockchip ARM SoC), but as something that either opens up new possibilities as a whole (for example, a trusted computing platform, where you can actually verify that no backdoors exist- see https://www.bunniestudios.com/blog/?p=5971 ) or something that provides unprecedented flexibility in the future proofness of embedded designs: for example when you realize that you need another UART in a product that's been shipping for 5 years, and the MCU family you have been using just does not have the part you need.

I am particularly excited about the hardware flexibility- it seems a very good platform for scientific/engineering instrumentation (LiteX actually seems to be conceived because of this niche).
Sure, but I'm left out of the group chat if I don't leave my OSX VM running.
I'd try to open the synthesizer and look for a chip that's next to the USB port and google its number.

Another option is to try to look at its ID using `lsusb`.

If it's a known USB-to-serial chip, then I guess you can mount it and read/write directly to it using pyserial.
> I'm trying not to make this too much of a dogmatic discussion, but is the cultural norm among developers going to be to just throw their hands in the air and say "styling is hard, let's go shopping for divs"?

The experiment failed though, we've been trying for over a decade. You can't let one group write the HTML and one group write the CSS (with the pipedream being the designers writing the CSS). The only way to make complex designs is to modify both as you develop. They're too intertwined and CSS alone isn't powerful enough to do everything you want.

Keep your actual data like blog post content, blog post meta data, images etc. separated but it's 1) not practically possible and 2) there's no significant benefits to keeping your CSS and HTML separate besides sticking to dogmatism "best practices" that haven't panned out.
That's the kind of lottery that requires buying zero tickets :).
One occurs naturally and thus happens all around us without human interaction. So there's value in understanding how things work without any input from humans.

One is more like studying a natural process while the other is the mechanics of that process.
The second article mentions one of the odd side effects of all this: exposure in a quarry of wonderful Devonian tree fossils near Gilboa, New York, a town submerged in the filling of one of the larger reservoirs. This world-class fossil site has implications for theories of the late-Devonian mass extinction, one of the "big five" mass extinctions, where the colonization of land by large plants may have caused disruption of the global climate.

If you followed toys r us or hostess (or many other such cases), the playbook is that the “money making machine” takes on new debt pays dividends to the PE, and then fails to pay that debt.

They only have to shut up whiny tech giants complaining about the cut. This thing started with greed and will end with greed. Small developers and users don't matter.

Right, the app store is an issue for users not developers already invested in Apple's platform. That's probably a PR goal for Apple, to turn users and developers for other platforms into one group and iOS developers into another group.
An ink cartridge at 50% still performs about the same as at 100%, it's just got less life in it.

Nice read. Just wanted to add to your part about Floats (decimals) and how they are not unique to Ruby. A lot of developers, specially self thought developers (myself included) are not aware of this and might never discover it unless you start working with currencies or something similar. I guess academically thought developers learn this in school.

Anyway, it's an interesting topic imo :)

This is an important thing to note about Europe - they don't really care about the security of other European nations. There's no sense of unity.

If there were, they would collectively take a much much harder stance with Russia. This is why Eastern Europe is so much more pro-USA than Western Europe.
It's not just preinstalled, it forces you to make an account to use the phone and inserts itself into what was previously the most popular messaging system in the US. If apple did something like this with the mail app everyone would probably completely flip out, the only reason they don't is because SMS was already terrible.

Geometric Algebra is really cool.

Unfortunately, people who promote it tend to sound like insufferable crackpots. Why is that? People who explain other cool things in math are never like that.

Although there are a few honest texts, almost every introduction to geometric algebra sounds as if they are introducing a new "school of thought" that will change mathematics forever. As if there was a worldwide conspiracy of powerful people who promote backwards concepts like exterior algebra, tensors and quaternions, and they want us to take the red pill. This may have sounded slightly funny the first time it was written, but it is an ugly, self-defeating meme right now.

To anybody who may be discouraged from learning geometric algebra due to the weird antics of its promoters: please, ignore the stupid rhetoric and study some Clifford algebra. There are a lot of neat ideas in there! (but of course, not only in there; you may still want to learn the other, well-known, equivalent definitions and notations for the same objects).
I don't feel it's ready yet, will probably take few months:

> [...] most gamedevs (like myself, once) simply don't have any art assets, and need them greatly;

But isn't that exactly why market places like the Unity Asset Store, TurboSquid, and UE Marketplace exist?

The asset stores for Unity and UE in particular offer assets that are ready for use with these frameworks and can also be easily modified if need be.

I rather think the problem is the expectation to get high quality assets for free, which just isn't a realistic assumption, unless you're willing to team up with an artist who is willing to volunteer their time.

It's also funny you mentioned Notch, as Minecraft and its aesthetic are a direct result of lack of artistic talent, proving that you don't need great looking 3d models at all to create the best selling video game in history...

I agree, though that ML/AI tooling for asset generation would be a major improvement for the gaming (and film!) industry.

1. Near-zero conversions. If you aren't already using ZFS, you aren't going to start just to use this service. And If you do use ZFS, you likely know what `zfs send` does.

2. The few conversions that do happen are almost certain to be high-maintenance.
