> I would go to office hours and the teachers were seriously so helpful. This was the only way I survived. I learned that you don't have to be a 'numbers person' at all to be good at math. You just have to understand what's going on under the hood, and this may require lots of questions and outside help. But most importantly, you just have to practice

I agree with all of this and it's how I got through extensive math. I'm not a "natural" at math and I'm not sure that really exists or possibly very people that are. I made sure to get to the office hours and I was surprised that there was almost no one there most of the time. I figured the cost of tuition is best justified by using as many hours of one-on-one time with an expert in the subject to better understand it yourself.

And to your last point about practice, I can't emphasize this enough. I would do the same problem sets over and over until I had them down. And it wasn't just memorizing the steps but rather getting to the point of being able to recognize the pattern. This made math "easy" at that point which is a weird phenomenon. Something that seemed so confusing and impossible suddenly becomes "easy". And then you can move on to the next step.

I understand rote learning is not popular because it is painful. But I do believe "drilling it in" over and over gets the job done. But it takes the will and the effort. It's been a long time but I think I could still solve most the math I took back then.

I was planning on an automated check on my passwords via my password manager to see which one have been stolen. Since my passwords are mostly (I may have missed changing some after the linkedin breach) unique these days I thought I could probably figure out which one was stolen as a result.

But notice the link in the other thread, to some benchmarks provided by the authors:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20201117232003.3580179-1-joel@j...

With the "kernel protection" aspect enabled, the performance is the same as just disabling SMT. And this is their hand-picked benchmark.

Changes like this were first proposed a hear and half ago I think, or longer, and rejected because the performance cost of making the scheduler consider this constraint cost more performance than just disabling SMT, so it wasn't worth the implementation complexity cost. But it's true that companies and customers still _want_ it, they want to get all their cores/threads for performance, and they want all the security... they just want to know they got those things, even if they really didn't, because who can really notice...
Why is it shady, should Youtube host your video for free? Youtube is an insane free service, there's nothing that comes close to the video and stream quality.

To be honest I'm surprised so many video's have been hosted without ads while the creators cash in outside of Google.

Specifically, filenames on Windows are not UTF-16 (or UCS-12) but rather WTF-16 - like UTF-16 but with possibly unmatched surragate pairs. WTF-8 provides an 8-bit encoding for such filenames that matches UTF-8 wherever the original was valid UTF-16 while converting the rest in the most straightforward way possible, menaing you need less code to go from WTF-16 to WTF-8 than going from UTF-16 to UTF-8 while rejecting invalid characters.
It’s funny how “DNS” doesn’t appear anywhere on that page.

You might not even need wings. You could just shape the fuselage like a wing. Not sure if that would be the ideal for all applications, though. Maybe the smaller cross-section of small wings and a more narrow fuselage would be better in some situations.
There's a big difference between a propeller with supersonic tip speeds and a supersonic propeller. A supersonic propeller is not strictly impossible, but even after decades of active research remains elusive. You can't simply handwave that you'll use a 3 meter propeller spinning at mach 3 just because it's technically below the limit where it would tear itself apart from centrifugal forces. It doesn't matter what battery energy density you can achieve if the propellers you're using to drive them don't work.
Also, sites often use automatic AMP generators which break subtly, fail to load or omit images.

I can tell you for a fact that at least one large data vendor uses floating point almost exclusively internally :-)

The thing is, it's actually 'fine' until you actually need to do a calculation. Once you get there you need to convert to decimal and round to however many dp's you should be using.

whenever I go back and play 1.6, I'm always amazed at how crisp and direct the controls feel. it's hard to describe the feeling precisely, but modern fps games (even csgo to an extent) just seem clunky in comparison. it's almost like the feeling you get when you forget to turn off vsync. not sure if this is just my nostalgia kicking in or if there's a technical reason for this.

Apple has cut the rate for 98% of sellers.
YouTube has a demonetization feature too. Let's say you run a programming tutorials channel that's too small to monetize and you don't want Google layering ads over your content. Just crosspost something like a Tim Pool video and hope the YouTube AI categorizes your channel as too toxic for advertisers. Otherwise it'll be interesting to see how the standard changes when Google is the sole beneficiary. That money is too toxic for thee, not for me.

Honestly I'm quite surprised that it happened not sooner, considering how may gigabytes of video are uploaded each day, of which only a fraction makes YouTube money.
Maybe so, but that is my choice. It is my home and my network. I can choose to protect my guests and they can choose to get a VPN. I would not subject them to my ISP's DNS, nor would I subject them to centralized DNS. Both are equally dangerous in my view. I would always disclose to my guests what they are using, how to use it and what choices they have. The people implementing DoH in the browser are taking that choice away, so now my only option is to play the never ending game of whack-a-mole with the centralized DoH servers.
So Russia's censor meets your stated requirements, I think. There is an official publicly visible blocklist that includes a justification for each blocked site: http://blocklist.rkn.gov.ru/

There is a procedure for challenging a decision to block. All the content on that list is blocked in accordance with some law, it's just that the laws themselves are questionable...
> If the fastest pages still get promoted to the top, and AMP results in the fastest pages, then the incentive remains just as large as before.

The first two components of your sentence are conditionals. Even IF they're both true, the very fact that they are uncertain, whereas before they were certain, makes the incentive MUCH MUCH smaller than before.

Any uncertainty at all will make internal discussions with technical leadership on maintaining AMP infrastructure weaker in companies like NYT. If they don't drop it immediately, there will at least be a ongoing internal dialogue about potentially doing so, brought up any time bugs need fixing in, or resources need reassigning to, AMP infra.

It arrived with 69% charge, by this morning 11am i had reached 21%. I left the screen brightness on the default setting and usage was a mix of installing software (mostly I/O i suppose), a lot of safari, around 4 hours of Citrix remote desktop, around 90 minutes of zoom, some light gaming last night to see if it works.

If you do anything that's heavy on I/O (packaging jar files in my case), this laptop is faster than my big desktop, the I/O is crazy fast actually.

Memory pressure has been low so far - my biggest fear opting for the base model but looks like i'll be fine - i spun up bunch of dev processes and was fine.
I agree with you, I augment their education and he excels when we work on Robotics, programming, Welding, fabrication and he has a love for math because very early on as I was teaching him these things, I was constantly showing him how to solve the problems at a more fundamental level with math. He learned math as a means to cut thru the red tape and as proofs, he learned the real world value of it very early on.
It was always like that. :) Artists, writers and singers did have political alignments and either benefited or suffered from them. In US-centric world post-9/11 reality may seem different and politically charged, but the rest of the world haven’t experienced the same “Belle Époque” as America in 1990s. And even in USA just 20 years before that plenty of things happened.

Caching is part of what makes AMP fast, and publishers may find that they also have to run caching servers to get AMP-like speeds.

I do start to wonder if any of such materials are stored like this in one of our ports, such as Rotterdam, The Netherlands.

I can't imagine such a mess to exist there.

But The Netherlands remembers the Firework explosion in Enschede, from 2000.

IIRC it was one of the only fighters that could accelerate straight up at the time. Now there are others, including the F-16, which originally could not, but the more recent variants have considerably more power and now it can.
It heartens me to know that this sentiment is spreading.

I have some black and white rules set up for myself. The day Whatsapp stops encrypting chats is the day I jump ship. The day Youtube blocks access to those using uBlock, I'll stop going to Youtube. The day old.reddit.com and i.reddit.com stop working, sayonara Reddit.

I've come to realise that a) I just don't derive TOO much value from any of these websites/services, and b) I don't mind paying for value added.

I'd be happy to pay for Youtube. But not 15 dollars a _month_! Youtube is an amateur platform. Charge me maybe 3 dollars a month. 5 if I'm feeling generous. But not 15. And certainly not when it's bundled with Google tracking the living bejeesus out of me.
Things will get more interesting when the 5G core networks take off and services connect to it. Just an example:

- operator-vetted user authentication

- zero-overhead VPN-like services

- peer-to-peer smartphone communication

The 5G hype really isn't about making the Internet link a little faster. It's about establishing a "service-marketplace".
Completely agree the imbalance of the power dynamic has really gotten worse since the Reagan era.

We really need stronger consumer advocacy.

An aside- it's really jaded me that with the advent of the internet so many of us had these wonderful dreams of the things we could build and share the world over, and how it would change the world and be this revolutionary force. Well it was, just not for good. Every single good thing gets twisted and perverted in the hunt for the Almighty Profit.

I remember my father complaining when I was young about money being the root of all evil, never be greedy, love your fellow man. But some time around his late 40s he became a republican, tax became theft, people he didn't know personally could fuck right off. This all coincided with his opening his business and got worse as it became more successful.

The man who hated Reagan and Bush and my rich half of my family with a passion became a staunch Trump supporter.

We no longer speak for other reasons but I use it as a reminder of what not to be. It's worked well for me, I'm not an abusive alcoholic, hopefully I wont become a selfish old curmudgeon over money either.
I'm guessing he means office politics. That's the way I feel anyways - if I had participated in politics and the games the company plays rather than just be the best technical person I could, then I would be much better off. I know a guy that started a year after me. He's a manager now (3-4 promos), making at least $30k more than me, while I'm just a midlevel (1 promo).
First-time tech leaders biggest challenges

I do not think that it is fair to say that changing a default is equivalent to taking a choice away. They are only moving the choice from the network operator's hands directly into the user's hands, which is where I think it belongs (and where it really was in the first place). In the hands of the user whose device is actually establishing the connection.

You could block your guest's VPN connections, but you don't do that.. why not? Aren't they subverting your protection by using VPNs?

> nor would I subject them to centralized DNS. Both are equally dangerous in my view.

I would argue that large providers like Cloudflare are the only ones who realistically have the resources to stand up to threats like government intervention (where it is possible). They have strong legal and financial incentives to maintain their privacy guarantees which smaller providers don't have.

Also you have the advantage of your data "hiding in plain sight" due to the high volume they deal with.

I certainly wish there were more providers available than just Cloudflare and Google though.

They are saying that all of the leaked data has been leaked in the past in other breaches. And because every account has a unique address, this suggests that it doesn't contain newly leaked information.
You can already effectively block all sponsored segment through SponsorBlock. I imagine that if Youtube were to randomly "inline" ads in the stream they're delivering to you, crowd-sourcing would also be an effective way to combat it. Make a "signature" of sorts of the video by pulling data from users and detect the ad bit on on your side using it. Well, that is if the ads come from the same domain as the legit video bits.

> UX and UI designers are manipulators now?
of course not, but usually web pages creation is driven by marketing, so in most cases "sell" stuff has much more priority than actual UX/UI. So usually UX scarified for marketing needs (even UX and UI designers gains that).
How did this rock made it to the surface! Most of them burn up in the atmosphere so this must have been pretty big originally. Any idea if others are following?
> If you know how to do this where you write the HTML with only semantic markup tags then don't touch it again while you style it with CSS.

No, I said that I style it with SCSS.

I can give you all the utility classes you want - in the form of mixins. Then all your site styling and components can be defined in terms of these mixins.

I said that I am not against Tailwind in general. What I don't understand about it is the idea of having already all the mixins and utility classes and then letting people stick those in the HTML.

> What tangible benefit are you getting by pushing to separate structure and presentation more than this?

Go take a look at the template sites like ThemeForest and CreativeTim. Some of the templates look actually quite nice and could be an excellent starting point for a project. What they all have in common is that you have 5 JS technologies and maybe 3-4 different styles and they sell each permutation of these as a separate "bundle".

Then you actually download the thing and start working with it. You find out that some older versions will use Bootstrap 3, some will use Bootstrap 4. Some of them have their widget implemented with an outdated jquery plugin, but the rest is with React/Vue. And then you realize why no one makes big projects out of these things, because it requires an all-or-nothing approach when it is not necessary.

In my fantasy land, we get javascript UI component libraries that are standardized and a separate set of SCSS implementation of "design languages". So when I am writing an app and I want to have, say, an autocomplete that looks like Material Design, I can import only one widget and one "theme", instead of hoping that some React/Vue/Angular/Nuxt/Svelte/JS_FRAMEWORK_DU_JOUR has already implemented components following the style of Material/Bootstrap/God-Knows-what-Design-Language-is-fashionable-today.

Unfortunately, I suspect the answer is "pretty long"...

I'm not so sure.

I'm only a casual viewer of YouTube. I don't engage in any of the account-based stuff, just watch the occasional video hosted there. But even in the content I've seen, it's clear that the semi-pro creators -- the kind of people using schemes like Patreon these days, and maybe placements as they get more successful -- are very aware of how they come across.

In particular, they might already be hosting their content on multiple services, particularly those who livestream events of whatever kind, where they might stream on Twitch one day and YT the next. Those who are successful enough to make significant money from their videos are well aware of anything affecting their video quality, audience numbers, and ultimately revenue.

I doubt many of them will have any great loyalty to YT if it becomes too awkward or expensive, and I'm sure many of them already have accounts on other services and the bulk of their followers would know where else to find them if YT shut down their accounts overnight.
