America is handling covid at the same level as most developed countries... yes badly, but still, this is a temporary setback, while chinese system is a permanent one.

I was born and lived in a socialist country (still live 'here', but the country does not exist anymore), and 'solidarity' in a socialist sense is something that made people flee to USA in the first place. If you're a good, skilled worker, tradesman, engineer, etc., america is still one of the best countries to live in. If you're incompetent, have mental issues, etc., then you're fucked, and you'd be beter off in a highly developed european country, this I agree.
I thought about this too at first. But there is a difference. The victims of the Equifax hack were not their customers. But you might still be right.

Smart Air is a whole company built around a super cheap HEPA-on-a-fan, started by foreigners in China. They still sell their old DIY1.1 model for $35 shipped (in Mainland). I own and love their filters, although I miss the «smart» features of their competitors.

Most of these benchmarks do a minimal number of syscalls per unit of work, if any. Meaning, unless syscalls are horribly slow, you'd expect them to be pretty much unaffected by the underlying OS.

It's not even really only WSL being benchmarked here, but also stuff like the OS' scheduling etc.

Micro-benchmarks for each syscall and comparing their actual performance might be more useful - it would allow you to more easily control for auxiliary differences between the operating systems - so you don't accidentally benchmark ext4 vs ntfs or something instead of your syscall.

Edit: I was unaware WSL2 is essentially a linux kernel in a VM now. What is even the point of benchmarking this and why is it supposed to be a successor to WSL? This is something completely different conceptually.

Build your own particulate matter sensor
We have two approaches for a programming language:

1. We design something "perfect" and "pure", that will never need to change.

2. We design something simple that works for something and let other people improve the language.

PHP or js were terrible designs, but there are not so bad today. Thousands of people have improved the design over time.

BTW, languages like Lisp actually evolved over time too. S expressions were not intended to be definitive, and you were not supposed to interpret code in code itself. McCarthy was just interested in the mathematical proof of creating a Lisp machine different from a Turing one. The practical side of that was of no interest for him and other people added this fucntionality.

In fact one of the problems with Lisp is that it is too flexible. In c like languages you have 3 or 4 different loop systems, you have for, while, do. In common Lisp you have more than 20 official loops, and you can create your own infinite set with macros!!

And that is with loops alone. It applies to everything in the language. You have so many ways of creating objects or parsing.

That is amazing and incredible for academic research, but not so good for production.

For production you need standards that are simplified, like if you design a machine, you choose 3 different screws instead of 30. Your prices go down, need less tools, you don't need "change of tool" interruptions, everybody can supply you.

Most of the time, if you design your own screw you are shooting yourself in the foot. You will have to wait much longer for being manufactured at 100x the price.

With software something similar happens. Geeks love learning new paradigms but while you are in "production mode" you should be producing not learning the custom syntax a programmer has created that can be done with a standard one.

Everybody has an ego. Dunning–Kruger effect tells us that the less we know about computer languages, the more confident we are that we can change the world with a brilliant design (that is not so brilliant in the first place).

In fact, languages like c or PHP or js are actually brilliant in lots of ways. If they were not, nobody would have used them. You should learn what this brilliance is before you create something new.
Perhaps we'll all be wearing them sooner than we think out of necessity to counter facial recognition.

(It's just occurred to me that a blank conformal OLED version of the mask would be the ultimate form — one's face could dynamically change on-the-fly whilst one's out and about. That would give all-pervasive surveillance systems a decent run for their money.) ;-)

> A good tactical player who realizes you are going via prep will make a stupid move and pull you out of book.

That only works against a badly prepared player. Learning an opening isn't just about memorising moves, it is also about understanding why the moves -- both your own and your opponent's -- are good. If you have studied an opening well, you will understand why a stupid move is stupid and be able to punish it. Of course you may still end up messing things up and lose the game later on, but you should be able to emerge from the opening with an advantage.

Why doesn't Facebook care about younger or non-white politicians? Are they already anti-tracking? Or hopelessly pro-Facebook? Seems pretty racist to ignore them.
For your usecase:

In terms of integration between handwritten and typed notes, if you don't like what Apple Notes does, you might want to give Nebo a try. It's a lot less flexible in terms of handwriting, but said restrictions are to help transcribe your handwritten notes to typed text if you want it. It's also a cross-platform option with Android.

Handwritten notetaking in general:

All apps use proprietary formats, but they're all generally capable of exporting to PDF for archiving purposes if need be.

Notability and GoodNotes are good staple options.
I personally like ZoomNotes myself, it has a worse looking UI but it has a lot more features.

OneNote is fairly special, because I find it the best cross-platform solution (Android and iOS, desktop is a bonus). I feel that Samsung and Huawei tabs have been getting a lot better over time, despite there being few people talking about them.

It does look like that, but it may simply have been drawn with those proportions for illustrative purposes. On the other hand, perhaps the diagram has correct proportions but they're misleading: the combustion area might be roughly spherical rather than cylindrical, and we're just seeing the cross section that shows its maximum area.

edit: actually, this is covered in their FAQ:

> What is the compression ratio?

Which makes the problem harder to solve. But this isn't an argument against the functionality though? It's still something we need if the community wants to move away from GnuPG.

What are the alternatives? PKCS7? I don't see that being less complicated then gnupg when it comes to usage. I think Void Linux is using this though, however you are still stuck without a proper way to assign trust.
You can have done this for about 2 years.
At least they should stop copyright once the authors dies. I understand that the creator deserves fair compensation, but why would relatives or companies who bought the copyright make a living from some dead person's work? To me it makes no sense, people should be paid for their own work based on their own merits.

But even during lifetime 20 or 30 years would be more reasonable. As much as I sympathize with people who make substantial money off a Christmas song they wrote 40 years ago, the idea of lifelong support already seems a bit exaggerated.

I would still suggest that people learn C before attempting C++; while someone with C# or Java experience could probably do well in a "modern C++" codebase, as soon as they go off-piste into memory allocation and pointers they're in for surprises.

> personally I have never, ever heard this one

I did and find it completely normal? "What everything we would have to buy" is completely normal consideration. So is "if we dont fit in a car we need to stop doing all these things" is another completely normal consideration.
The reason to switch from resold to infringed is that infringed is a superior substitute. However, these are not the only two substitutes in the market, and given that the consumer is consuming a stream of items over time, it is the case that by switching to infringed that the consumer will have less reason to ever buy, either at all or in the same quantity, the substitutes that make money for the creators, such as paid streaming or new discs, and so it is plausible (and for many individual consumers likely) that the impact on creators will be non-negligible.
If you're just looking for a cursory introduction to the underlying concepts, I agree with the other comments that K&R is what you are looking for. I'd add the caveat that due to the fact that C is a tiny language with a tiny standard library, most code you'll see in the wild uses custom concepts/libraries/object models on top of C. So for most practical purposes, there isn't really "C" as much as there is "unix programming C", or "embedded C", or whatever else have you, and all of them add a thick layer on top of the core language.
How large is GTK this way? I like Qt, but adding 50-100MB library is a bit of an issue for small tools.

Telling people that the default string type is LPTCSTR and the default integer type is HRESULT would be top trolling.
So does that mean it's catch-all?
I wish RL all the best, but I'm glad I switched to debian-stable for server workloads (mostly Docker anyway). If anything, the story of CentOS (and White Box Linux before that) tells me a RedHat clone isn't a feasible project economically in the long run. So it may be better to put your money where your mouth is. Of my customers, none had used CentOS/RH as base image for Docker builds anyway.
There's lot of ranting here against react hooks. Just came here to say that I use them with much pleasure, they help me building functional (view) components which map their internal state or external state (pulled in via custom hooks or 3rd party hooks such as useQuery() from Apollo GraphQL). And a view's side effects are made explicit with useEffect(). Awesome, love it.

for a non-cs major with a quantitative background such as math or physics, would it be more prudent to study algorithms or gain actual programming skills in order to secure a job prior to graduation?

of course, actual programming skills are necessary, but it seems they can be learned after securing an offer.
I'm not sure if the author just went for the slogan because "old white man" is basically just a phrase but his intent aside lobbyism, politics and the tech managerial class still are pretty damn white.

With Facebook's very 'old and white' American userbase and lack of people of colour in leadership I think there actually is somewhat of an adversarial relationship. Was also visible in the behaviour of Facebook towards the outgoing administration.
"These are evil, vile people I am torturing to death. In fact, it's debatable if they're even people!" tends to be the justification, and it tends to be based on mental gymnastics surrounding some old book :-/

I see your point, and I agree. "In the end, it's better for the consumer this way, we're just giving the process the tiniest of nudges." has fueled a lot of anti-consumer hogwash over the years, I'm sure.
I think even those who see through Google's shenaigans continue to abide by what Google says as there's no other choice, pretty much exploitation of monopoloy powers. If anything fruitful comes out of this action, it would apply utmost to North Amercia, EU has already doing what it can, but what about rest of the world?

I mean, how many can knowingly risk loosing website from the front page if they don't use AMP or worse don't display Google Ads? How can a layman even know their website is being penalised for not doing those, whom can they complain to when anti-trust regulations are non-existant in other parts of the world and even if they exist monopolies tend to keep the bureaucrats/politicians well fed.

So yeah, HOOORAHHH! if you live in U.S.A.

I appreciate your DIY instructions, but I really dislike how your website goes through the effort of hiding what you actually sell and also how much it costs. I don't want to "contact you" to get that information. We've been long enough in the 21st century that it has become an adult, and still I keep running into this archaic nonsense.

For example, you mention your "sensor package" in the FAQ and that's it. Your DIY instructions mention the "AirGradient PCB", _but there is no place where I can buy it_. For the love of god, put a 'buy' button on your website.
More cars is still more net positive emission than no cars (I never drove in my life), so I don't really understand with what wicked logic you try to explain that cars are good.

It looks like you're using a Plantower PMS5003. I have one of those hooked up to a Raspberry Pi and it works well but I also built a few of these with ESPs: https://sensor.community/en/sensors/airrohr/

They support the PMS but I used the default SDS011. They both seem reasonable for relative values but I'm not sure about the accuracy without proper calibration. They don't appear to give similar readings to my Plume Flow 2: https://plumelabs.com/en/flow/
>That hasn't been demonstrated.

Oh, it has been demonstrated to me over and over again. Unfortunately, you may be too much in it to see it. I am in the position to observe from the outside.

>The existence of other ways of controlling population doesn't mean that those other ways are the only way.

Read this part of your comment again, but slowly.

>Not all food chains are controlled by bottom-up trophic cascade.

And where did I imply that it is?

>some are controlled by apex predators and removing apex predators changes the ecosystem, sometimes in ways that result in collapse.

Not really. The very same ecosystem can adapt to changes in predator population or extermination of predator population altogether.

>You're shifting your explanation. Earlier you said that humans could replace apex predators. When I pointed out the problems with that, now you say it can be controlled with bottom up trophic cascade. Is it possible you just don't understand this issue as well as you think?

Or maybe I understand it thoroughly, much more than your limited religious beliefs allow for. The ecosystem can be regulated with or without apex predators. If we remove apex predators, it will still be regulated automatically. We can choose to hunt if we so desire, and it will work differently but it will still work and work well.

>In the real world, the ecosystems are interdependent on other ecosystems and no barriers can be drawn except by choice.

Ever heard of terrariums? Sure, ecosystems may be related because they're open systems. But they don't have to be.

>That doesn't impact on the well-established thesis

What is interesting is that all these "well established" theses only go so far as to comply with Christianity, never further.

>if humans hadn't been destroying species at an astonishing rate over the last 50 years we'd likely also not have COVID-19

I know, right? The children of Adam and Eve continue to disrupt the harmony of Gods creation, so many thousand years later. When will we learn?

Except coronaviruses have been infecting mammals almost as long as mammals have been around.

> Junior engineers are also constantly tripped up

That's just the nature of being a junior engineer — you get tripped up. Tripped up by mutating objects, by stale closures, by comparing numbers to strings, by asynchrony, by thinking in terms of rxjs or xstream streams, by god knows what else.
I love to hate on Apple, especially the damage they've done to the internet (to chat in particular) but this was definitely the right thing for them to do.
Completely agree, that was part of the point I was making, for example, I doubt I would ever have understood RAII had I never seen malloc.

Parent was suggesting they are already a programmer, so I assumed they already had at least a grasp of how pointers and manual memory management work. If one happens to lack such knowledge, I agree learning C is an excellent first step.

Also, to add to this point - no, walking anywhere requires permission from whoever owns the land you are walking upon. Americans also are incredibly restrictive here, despite being the land of freedom. In UK you have the right to roam[0], where you are allowed to walk through someone's private lands(as long as you don't damage anything). In the US try walking through someone's land - you will be shot in the worst case.

I can't remember the source (maybe just a pet theory) but I believe Disney stopped using Mickey because there was so much contention over "Mickey would never do that" among fans so he just became a mascot instead of having him be a character in a story...probably in the 80s-90s.

Near the 2000s the recognizably of Mickey started dropping with young kids so they've put him in more stuff. He started "hosting" things like Mickey's Clubhouse, put him in games like Epic Mickey and Kingdom Hearts, they had a retro redesign about 10 years ago and have used him in a bunch of new stuff including a few theme park rides.
I keep an eye on some of the right wing forums and I’ve seen this claim repeatedly made about various people like Snowden and Asante and various others. Everytime the claims turn out to be totally baseless wishful thinking. So while I understand the feeling that Ulbricht was treated unfairly I would take this with an enormous pinch of salt. All that’s going on at the moment is that pardons are being considered for lots of things and people are trying to push for their own favourite candidates by trying to rally support in the press.
