Agreed. They've done good stuff for OSS up until now, and they deserve credit for that. No need to feel bitter or entitled over something we've received 100% for free.

But despite that, Travis-CI is not serving my (or other's) OSS needs right now, and people are obviously looking for alternatives.

There's nothing wrong with that.

first/third person 3D games are playable with 20 FPS (with drops to 15), I played a lot of them with that FPS on my old laptop (e.g. GTA IV, V, Sleeping Dogs).

I would like to ask you to present some proof for those numbers. There's also tons of legitimate players that can't play at all since the anti-cheat system thinks their install is not good. At which point is it okay for anti-cheat developers to tell customers to get a new PC (with their approved hardware and drivers) and install nothing but clean copy of windows and their game on it?

Consider game like Dark Souls 3, it has very simple anti-cheat system and trusts the client completely. Yet you rarely see actually cheaters online, this is purely a social problem.

You can search any rootkit based anti-cheat software and find just how many people have issues with them. Just some examples from the infamous riot vanguard which developers boast it being "user-friendly" rootkit.

> 60fps at the displays standard resolution

This has been kind of problematic for MacBooks since the first retina model. They ship with HiDPI displays that are beautiful for text and video, but people don't seem to realize the resolution is just way too high for gaming on an ultrabook. I used to game in 900p comfortably on my Intel integrated 2013 MBP. In native 1600p the same titles would be a slideshow.
I think that column should be "runs" rather than playable. Yes, a chess game could well be OK at 5fps, but no-one's going to find any game with action playable at 5fps. Of course playability is a more subjective scale, but having read some of the table, this looks much more disappointing that I was expecting - for instance considering being able to play "among us" as a win seems to be a very low bar!

> I haven't seen any other method of measuring viral load in the upper respiratory tract than PCR.

So we came to the truth: you didn't try to read how the researchers perform their research, even if they do publish their methods in the few papers you argue against, but you still claim here you know more than they do.

Of course the researchers can and do establish in their papers how much there's infectious virus in the upper tract. It's just a practical trade-off that, on the mass scale of all the millions of tests daily for clinical purposes, only PCR tests are preformed.

I've given you a single meta-analysis paper instead of linking to all the papers that paper refers to. Whichever detail you'd like to know, the paper links to them. It's mostly a click away. Almost all papers are also open access, meaning that you can read them in full. Moreover, for even those which aren't open access, typically the "appendices" are open access, exactly the parts that describe the methods used in the paper.

So, yes, we do know the actual viral loads of infectious virus good enough (1) to conclude what I wrote. And the conclusions, dumbed down enough, are what I've written before and eventually they can, when we're lucky, even end in the policies in the UK and statements of Pfizer CEO: there's enough research right now to not assume sterilizing immunity, unless the future studies show something else. That's science, it's seldom 100% certainty in 100% of effect.

You can either write about bleach all day or you can try searching in the paper and the references for what you want to know if you really want to learn something. Fishing for single sentences out of the context that support your wrong theories while claiming you know more than the majority of researchers is dishonest and contra-productive, unless you really just want to waste time of everybody (there are actually people paid to do that too, unfortunately).

Google - "Don't Be Evil"

I think many would agree that moto has been broken several times over the years.
They passed testing because they had each been individually crossconnected to a test trunk, and test calls force-routed over that trunk. Then to place them in service, the crossconnects were reconfigured to place them at their normal location in the system. The testing was to prove the voice path of each DSP card, and that those cards were wired into the crossconnect properly.

All that was true, the failure happened when it was being taken out of testing config and into operational config. Either nobody considered that that portion could fail, or the urgency to add capacity to a suddenly-overloaded network meant that some corners were cut. (Marketing moves faster than purchasing-engineering-installation...)

Oh, and as to the point about keeping the call path ephemera. Yeah probably, but in a server context, that'd be akin to logging the loader and MMU details of how every process executable is loaded and mapped. Sure, it might help you narrow down a failing SDRAM chip, but the other 99.99999% of the time when that's not the problem, it's just an extra deluge of data.
Sports in California during shutdowns are not allowed to have audiences, so the following are incorrect in context.

- sporting events draw crowds

- sporting events require infrastructure to service them (restrooms, food, parking, etc)

- the blatant contradiction encourages those who have been told to shut down to disobey the order

I think there’s a lot of misinformation and disinformation out there, which is the leading cause of people disobeying the order(s).

> But what's your reason to be going such lengths instead of just plugging UDM into their router?

While you can do this and things will generally work, AT&T restricts all of their residential gateways from operating in a true passthrough/bridge mode to another router. So you end with double NAT and all the joys that entails (such as [1]). There are also a number of other issues that have been associated with operating in their faux-passthrough mode, including

- Issues with IPv6 prefix delegation

- Sporadic latency spikes (an issue in general, that you inherit since the gateway is still "doing" everything it normally would, since it won't actually act as a ure passthrough/bridge)

- A firmware update capped throughput at 50Mbps (later fixed in another firmware update)[2]

- Firmware updates tend to silently re-enable the built-in wifi radios

So while it'll generally work, it ends up problematic. You inherit all of the performance issues associated with just using the gateway as your all in one modem/router/firewall/AP/gateway, plus the addition of double NAT, plus the sharp edges of their poorly implemented faux-passthrough modes, plus the ever-present concern that you're one firmware update away from a non-working network despite having used their official passthrough configuration.

Hence why gateway bypasses are so popular[3][4][5][6]. Even if they're a bit involved to set up, once you get it working things just... work. With little if any upkeep (potentially a few minutes after a power outage, depending on the bypass method you implement).

Sure, there are high-profile cases like 9/11 or the (discussed yesterday(?) on HN) Grenfell Towers fire where getting the hell out ASAP is your best option.

But the usual instructions by the authorities for a fire in a high-rise is the correct action in the vast majority of cases. That is, close doors and windows, put some damp clothes under the door, stay put and wait for the fire department. Correctly designed and built high-rises are pretty well compartmentalized, and the probability of you succumbing to the heat and noxious fumes in the stairwell if you try to escape, is a lot higher than the probability that the fire department is not able to quickly bring the fire under control.

There were reports in the twitter threads that macs were ignoring the bad checksum (and I thought I saw confirmations in this thread, blaming a driver). Since I don't have a mac anymore, I couldn't confirm or deny; and since I don't have any equipment with the bad equipment in the path, I couldn't get a tcpdump, and I hadn't seen any on twitter.

I wouldn't have expected Apple to purposefully break the checksum, just like they I don't think they purposefully have no synflood protection because they pulled the TCP/IP stack at the turn of the century and never pulled it to get the many many many upgrades from upstream (although, they did add on MP-TCP, so there's that). I wouldn't be surprised if tcp checksums had stopped working ages ago, possibly because of a aggressive driver, and nobody noticed. Kind of like how if you spawn a few thousand threads that just sit around sleeping, it will delay watchdog kicks and the kernel will panic. (also, from reports on here, not personal experience)

What FPS exactly? Isn’t that very subjective? Some people might be happy with 15fps, others would want 60fps. I like the approach in this dataset because the reader can decide for themselves.

That's the tricky part. Official safety rules are there for a reason, that is because by the best knowledge they work. 9/11 was special because nobody expected the towers to go down. The Sewol was man-made disaster. In most other cases, following orders as a passenger and official safety rules will safe your life. It will also maximize the number of lives saved.

And even if authorities don't necessarily know more than you, they do have the necessary training and procedures. Something simple bystanders don't have.

Lisp programmers have SLIME or equivalent, rainbow-parens and the like.

> The final design of the space shuttle was not able to support this kind of use

It very well could have been. The trouble was that the initial cost projections called for 50+ flights per year, but demand only warranted 3.5 flights per year on average.

It's a fate that every heavy orbital transport system shared so far - just look at the Falcon Heavy. How many launches did it have? Two (technically three, if you include the maiden flight)? That's 1 flight per year with another two classified DoD payloads scheduled for next year.

There's simply no demand for heavy lift vehicles outside of building space stations and DoD contracts. In the end STS was too big and expensive for just ferrying people into space and too complex for just getting payloads into LEO.

It could've made up for that by always doing both, but there simply wasn't a destination in LEO for people to go to and not enough 27.5t LEO payloads (~10t GTO).

For instance in 1985 there were only 25 orbital launches in total, 9(!!!) of which Space Shuttle launches and 6 other US rocket launches. Nowhere near the envisioned weekly or even just fortnightly launch cadence required to get the cost down.

If you want a better example, see how I manage two different version of my SSH library for Rust, Thrussh: https://nest.pijul.com/pijul/thrussh

The problem this is solving is that the Rust ecosystem is in the middle of transitioning between two version of its async base library, Tokio: most libraries have transitioned, but the most used HTTP library (Hyper) hasn't. This forces any user that wants both HTTP and another network protocol (SSH, for instance) to stay on the older version.

However, we can't all keep waiting on Hyper. Pijul's solution is to push the same bugfixes to two different channels, one of which includes an extra patch for transitioning to Tokio-0.3 (the newer version). Since the identity of patches is preserved, no rebase is needed, and conflicts solved once are solved forever (no rerere).

IANAL, but I don't think that would be applicable in this case:

> Another requirement further qualifies the required detriment component; the promisee must have suffered an actual substantial detriment in the form of an economic loss that results from the promisor failing to deliver on his or her promise. Finally, promissory estoppel is usually only granted if a court determines that enforcing the promise is essentially the only means by which injustice to the promisee can be rectified.

The open source project would not suffer an economic loss by not using Travis. They would be free to stop using Travis or go to another competitor providing a free plan.

Exceptions to the above I can think of:

* Travis didn't charge them, then started charging them despite the promise

* they suffer an unrelated economic loss because they stop using CI

* they're forced to hire someone to convert them to another CI system (economic loss in form of wages, money to operate their own CI), though the loss would have t obe substantial (is that relative? e.g. in case of a low budget, is even a small sum substantial?)
Cloud how do virtual images grow?
You are absolutely right! And with gammers setting more and more enthusiastic levels (e.g. 120fps) is a problem. But the bare minimum should be fps like a movie, so 24fps or 30fps. This will not be perfect, but any animation may look a little bit smoother than 15fps
True, though you'd have to do some research on usb controllers that are supported. I had to do that for my Rift s.
This is such a disaster on so many levels. I would say it is the exception that proofs the rule. Counter would be that cruise ship that sank near Italy where most people were only 32 out of 3,250 people died.

San Francisco has so far had by far the best Covid health outcomes of any major US city. If the US on the whole were doing as well as SF, there would be at least 200,000 fewer deaths than there have been.

I really hope SF can keep it that way. The recent trend is pretty scary, but if we all hunker down for the next month or two, we can still turn it around.

But you get older and you realize not many people tell _actually_ interesting stories, so I guess you do what you can to make them want to come around and tell more.

I believe the #5 ESS machine itself is always in closed cabinets, so it's likely that what you're remembering was the toll/transport equipment, or ancillary frames. Gray 23-inch racks as far as the eye can see!

Depending on how old that part of the office was, they were likely either 14' or 11'6" tall with rolling ladders in the aisles, or 7' tall and the only place they'd have laddertrack was in front of the main distributing frame.

As for magnetic core, if you could see it mounted in a frame, what you probably saw was a remreed switching grid, which is a sort of magnetic core with reed-relay contacts at each bit, so writing a bit pattern into it establishes a connection path through a crosspoint matrix. It's not used as storage but as a switching peripheral that requires no power to hold up its connections. (Contrast with crossbar, which relaxes as soon as the solenoids de-energize.)

Remreed was used in the #1 ESS (and the #1A, I believe), and is extensively documented in BSTJ volume 55: https://archive.org/details/bstj-archives?&and[]=year%3A%221...
