I should mention that they have a Black Friday or cyber Monday type special right now where you take a course or a month for free.
If you're interested in Vector Clocks, here is a much better explanation:

https://link.medium.com/PvNkzXcsObb

Basically, if you have a distributed logical system (i.e. a system that uses more than processor, possibly processors separated by large distances and in noisy environments), it is very difficult to synchronize all of the clocks in each processor, such that if there is a fault, you will be able to use timestamps to localize the exact root cause of that fault. The solution is simply a clock that increments based on logical events within the system rather than a global real world clock. This is very much the same way time appears to work in our physical universe (i.e. time emerges from cause & effect interactions at the quantum scale as entropy increases - if those events slow down, so does the percieved incrementing of time).
As a current student of Ueli Maurer and a Swiss citizen, I completely agree with you (the exam part is hard for me to judge... that's coming up in January for me). He claims that he did review algorithms for them, but only once did he look into one which actually got used in production.

I strongly hope that such cases where our NDB is passively allowing foreign nations to interfere with security equipment that is even used by Swiss companies will not become more frequent. It cannot be allowed that the secret service of a neutral country like Switzerland continues to act like this.

Because your comment was so wrong it's hard to know where to start, it seemed like trolling. Here you go:

1. Monopoly (in law and in practice) is not just defined by what percentage of the pie they have; it's also about what power they have and what non-competitive behaviours they can and do engage in.

Claiming that Amazon is not a monopoly based on the technicality that they don't have 100% of all retail is an irrelevant claim.

2. It's possible to estimate Amazon's "addressable retail" in 2019 as a whole number percentage - that is already huge. There are few companies with that percentage in much smaller sectors.

3. You put it in competition with Bricks and Mortar stores in order to get to this figure, which makes your figure artificially low.

4. I understood your figures were from a 2019 estimate, although they were unsourced. Amazon revenue has been growing exponentially. There's now a pandemic on. Year-on-year sales have increased something like 50%.

As addressed by the author, Dr. Markus Legner, these points are not true for SCION, as it is a path-aware routing system. Especially the paths cannot be spoofed, as their MAC is checked at each router hop (an extremely efficient operation, much faster and energy efficient than big router table lookups).

And exactly this tradeoff is examined in the blog post (and their EPIC paper).

I’m not sure if the feature was added after you started building Please but Buck does support multiple outputs from a genrule now. It’s kind of hacky though; you write a genrule that produces a directory containing said multiple outputs, and then you can write rules to extract the subcomponents. (I don’t know why I feel compelled to point this out. I worked on Buck for about a year, several years back. )

I had the same thought at the first picture. There's already a great big slab of metal visible at the base of the camera with what looks like an easy access path from the processor. If these easy DIY heat sinks catch on, someone's bound to make a longer heat sink, bend the end over in a vise, and tuck it in alongside that existing mass of metal to incorporate it into the heat sink mass. The copper alone doubled the time to overheat, adding that much mass should do substantially more, and almost certainly provide a heat path to tripod mounts.

Agree with parent. Financial advisors are basically never worth it, for a bunch of reasons, including:
-cost is very expensive
-none can beat the market, because if they could they would be hedge fund managers or something that makes 100x
-their incentives are misaligned with yours.

(Not to be too negative, financial advisors can make sense in some circumstances if the person really needs an expensive person to make sure "they don't blow it on something dumb")

You could probably build something easily in nbdkit to do this. (Note this is at the block layer). An advantage of nbdkit is you could write the whole thing in the high-level language of your choice, even a scripting language such as Python, which might make it easier to rapidly explore designs.

Having said that I did try to implement a deduplication layer for nbdkit, but what I found was that it wasn't very effective. It turns out that duplicate data in typical VM filesystems isn't common, and the other parts of the filesystem (block free lists etc) were not sufficiently similar to deduplicate given my somewhat naive approach.

There might have been a shot at this 30 years ago. "We have a real chance for a new world order" wasn't just empty talk. The US as the sole remaining superpower could have led the world under an increasingly potent UN. But it was sold poorly. People correctly identified it as dystopian, but failed to recognize that NOT doing it would almost certainly lead to something worse.
Oh absolutely. :) But I assumed the accusation that Apple copied Growl was mainly that.

Growl had so much configurability, so many options, it's not like Apple implemented really any of that!
There use to be a reasonable channel by a retired CIA employee. His many videos simply showed pictures of a country along with the declassified text about the mission. The channel one day just vanished. The "why?" is left up to our imagination. All I know is that making the channel took a good bit of effort and the content was historically significant.

This is not for growing grains and commodities , but if bought in hundreds of acres, it can be mechanized.

It is possible to have homesteads to grow everything you need for a self sustaining lifestyle. ‘Off grid’ living including outside of an unstable money economy.

Energy, water, food, fiber and some amount of cash can be derived from land. It can be bartered or sold. You can form co-ops with other like minded people with a million savings. With food, hydroponics, orchards, field crops, honey, eggs, meat and fish. You can get a (cobot)robot in that budget to eliminate need for labour.

A million dollars is not much. Any value of a dollar/market currency is pegged against what it can buy. You can’t outrun inflation if you want to live within the matrix. My (literal)2c.

Good idea. I think there’s a lot of room for some kind of internet social network that gives you a space for a custom profile, chatting with friends about anything, no algorithms dictating what you see, no heavy handed moderation, etc. wish you success
I could research this myself, but will ask lazy HN instead. One of the big challenges in presenting Flash well is "conflation artifacts," which are the seams that appear when compositing antialiased vector shapes. The old software renderer in Flash had very clever techniques for avoiding these, but browser 2D renderers generally don't. (The actual story is a bit more complex, as Skia is careful to avoid conflation artifacts within a shape, but the compositing rules in the HTML5 spec almost seem to require them for compositing multiple shapes). Thus, Shumway and the other Flash emulators had artifacts which detracted from the visual quality.

A particularly good paper explaining the problem (and how the NV_path_rendering extension solves it) is "GPU-accelerated Path Rendering", Kilgard and Bolz, 2012.

Does Ruffle solve these? If so, how?

I also jumped fences for girls, and unlike this guy I didn't marry into a rich family. I think the only notable thing that happened here is he built an empire, and as my comment pointed out it's much easier to build an empire when you're in an environment that allows you enough profit to buy a house with cash only two years after starting from nothing and taking virtually zero risk.
Maybe you can link some of the numerous top comments you've run across that are very eloquent defenses of censoring fringe thinkers.

Go read a book on number theory some time. It looks hard too. But it is about nothing more than the properties of the natural numbers, which any grade schooler can understand.

Likewise, QM looks hard, but at its core it is little more than linear algebra, which any high-school math student can (or at least should be able to) understand.

Shadow-banning is particularly awful. It's a deceptive business practice.
There's a book called "How to survive without a salary" by Charles Long. It may be out of print, but I would recommend you read that.

There's also a series of books called "The Tightwad Gazette" with a similar theme of learning to spend less.

Successfully retiring from a tech job is highly likely to be equal parts investing well and learning to live on less. One or the other won't solve it.

Best of luck.
The concept of "explicitely" not supporting graphics did not make much sense with the X architecture and X servers under Windows being available. Of course MS dis not ship one, and of course X is considered deprecated by its own maintainers.

But de facto it is more a lack of support as in "we don't ship or own implementation yet" than "explicitely it does not work". It works already, Wayland just takes more effort and is just way more coupled to all parts of the stacks, as usual (but don't get me wrong, this sometimes has benefits too)

Oh sure there's lots of good reasons for not using their CNI not least of which is needing to worry IP space utilization. I was just trying to point out overlays aren't a requirement.

> Absolutely ridiculous - do Americans even know why the country was even founded anymore?

This statement was made to suggest that America has gotten away from the reasons it was founded. It is entirely reasonable to discuss the historical reasons for the founding of America, which included the desire of white property owners to be guaranteed "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness," without interference from their government. Oh, and they kinda didn't want to pay taxes without representation, either.

Yes, I am massively oversimplifying it here. But, I don't want to sit here and write a draft of the book that it would take to actually cover the subject with sufficient detail and nuance.
When will creative folks begin to realize that all art is derivative, and that you can't sway courts with statistics.
I have had an allergy to animal dander since I was born. The strength of the reaction depends entirely on the type of animal. It has also changed as I have aged.

At this point, birds and cats are about the only animals that I cannot have in my house.

Scent allergies are also common to develop as you age. My mother used to love scented things, but hasn't been able to have them for going on 20 years.

I wouldn't rule either out, to be honest.
What are the use cases for a read only file system?
Exactly.

And remember that while the low spatial and temporal resolution of the GIF makes it seem like just being a "pixel" off could result in a totally different orbit (like chaos theory)...

...the actual simulation is dealing with distances of hundreds of thousands of miles, simulated over multiple years of time, presumably with something like minute-by-minute, meter-by-meter precision. (Remember, the object itself is only 1-2 meters large.)

The "unintuitive right angle" would appear entirely intuitive if you actually watched it slower while zoomed in closer to the moon.
It's unclear that this expression of narcissism is in fact different than the more commonly understood kind, and the effects are largely the same. Seeing yourself as being better than those around you is almost never a net-positive.

This brief excerpt really does not do the Manager Tools' feedback model justice. All of the background has been stripped from it in order to fit in a pithy blog post and without that context it does sound jarring or shallow.

Over the past 3.5 years I've used the Manager Tools "management trinity" (including their feedback model) with my directs and found it works extremely well. If you've got a professional relationship with a direct and have briefed them on changes before enacting them, it doesn't come as a surprise and it's not seen/received as a "drive by."

I encourage folks to listen to a few of the episodes on feedback before judging it: https://www.manager-tools.com/2005/07/giving-effective-feedb...

In addition to Managers Tools they have a second podcast, Career Tools, which is geared towards any working professional. I recommend that one as well.
Answering a high yes to "I have a very positive influence on others” and “I am generally the most understanding person.” are absolutely narcissist traits, even according to the "standard" definition. Those questions are about self-perception, not about actual assessment of their communal effects.
A large number of the people that participate in any activity do so in an attempt to feel better than others. Humans live in hierarchies. Trying to climb those hierarchies is in our genes.
Author here :)

I'll add more benchmarks, this is still WIP and so far I've mainly tried to satisfy my own needs. My intention with DwarFS wasn't to write "a better SquashFS", but to make it better in certain scenarios (huge, highly redundant data) than SquashFS. SquashFS still has the big advantage of being part of the kernel, which makes it a lot more attractive for things like root file systems.
> I hold my breath walking past Lush shops.

For my part, I have a positive reaction to Lush shops. Almost too positive a reaction: I want to eat all that I smell, and I have to remind myself that those are soaps, they are not edible.
Epic isn’t actually claiming the 30% for paid for apps on the store is unreasonable though. After all, they want to be able to charge on a store themselves so that would be self defeating. They are contending two things only. That in-app purchases are subject to a revenue split, and that they aren’t allowed to establish a store of their own on iOS.
Maybe weird feedback but the COVID-19 Pandemic section on the front page really kills both the retro vibe and the idea that this might be something unique rather than yet another way for me to consume standard news.
Also the team randomly decided NodePorts can only[1]:

1. be run in a specific range

2. you can expand that range, but if you do, any port in that range might be randomly assigned, so your service might start up on port 80.

Changing alone would make using Kubernetes 10x easier for small operators. But one bomb-throwing curmudgeon drops by with entirely content-free unsubstantiated anger-posting:

> Unless I'm misunderstanding the proposal, it involves unpredictable and difficult to diagnose failure of services, which seems like a complete non-starter to me.

And the small-operators who just want some ability to open http or dns ports get nothing. Maddening beyond belief.

I kind of hope that Microsoft buys Android from Google. Last summer John Gruber wrote [1] that he feels that Google has lost interest with Android and I think he might be right.

When Google announced they would start charging for photos storage I think it signaled that maybe user data isn't as valuable as it once was. If that's correct, then maybe Android isn't as important as it once was. Maybe it's time to find better owners for the OS.

Young children absolutely need easy-to-follow directions because they can't follow complicated directions.

I'm not arguing against easy-to-follow directions, so I don't quite see your point. I'm against parents and schools encouraging unquestioning obedience to their directions.
I recently upgraded an old notebook. It had 2GB of RAM, and dmidecode assured me it would support 4GB. Although dmidecode said that both slots would support 2GB, it turned out only one of them does.

I searched around a bit more and I now suspect the 2GB slot might actually support 4GB, but I don't want to spend money on this bet (it's an old machine with a Core 2 Duo processor).

So now I'm left wondering how dmidecode can be so wrong.

That's a very dangerous road you're suggesting walking down there, "observing" others and making judgements about the whole of their character based on isolated examples is a fruitful source of prejudice and cognitive bias.
Yeah actually did look into it a few days ago and couldn't find a definitive source on the current tarrifs. The best I could find was actually the article to borrowlenses that the commenter linked above which mentions that "This is all supposedly going to get phased out starting in July of 2019".
The previous impl used the tech that became WSL1, and I'm not sure you can in practice bypass the Linux syscall. WSL1 is now deprecated and I don't think it is actually reasonable to try to follow the fast paced dev of Linux, even more so since a few years. So the WSL2 approach seems perfectly fine.
I never used MySpace, but this looks cool! Good idea to build off the nostalgia. Just on first glance, I noticed you're using URLs like https://spacehey.com/profile?id=123 for accessing profiles. That seems like a bad idea, using increasing numbers for pages in general is not great, because it makes it easy to scrape for every user on the site. Why not switch to something like a UUID or random base64 code?
