Whether or not people who likely have no actual experience in this space dislike what I’m saying about the pointlessness of using wasm for this use case has no bearing on my correctness. Most of them demonstrated they didn’t know the difference between seccomp and seccomp-bpf and there have been no rational counter arguments that hold their weight.

Usually downvotes without rational rebuttals are a sign of the OP’s correctness.
I would say /care, I don't care, either way, both fine with me, or "its nuanced" or "its complicated". The latter two invite curiosity and discussion, whereas the former one and its, ehh.., relatives (for lack of a better word) are more firm in the carelessness aspect therefore being more passive from my part. You can also say no and nod yes, as Torvalds famously did in response to a question concerning NSA.
I would suggest Hetzner's storage share (their managed Nextcloud hosting) [1]. Their pricing starts at €2.90/mo for 100GB of storage, which is significantly cheaper than what is mentioned in the post ($5/mo for 25GB).

It’s unconscionable that someone is allowed to p into a liquor store with a limit on the number of patrons at a time, buy a quick bottle, with minimal human interaction and easily maintained social distancing and be out within minutes, but they are not allowed to enter a building with hundreds of people at the same time, sit for hours, singing and talking to each other.

I think this kind of manipulation would only happen at quarter end, perhaps month end and derivatives expiries. It's otherwise normal to expect price volatility leading up to the auction because traders want to minimize information leakage going into it.
Thank you for the link. JFTR, Articles!
Thank you, should be fixed now!
This is great, TFS. Interesting to read period ATM deployment costs (USD$100K) vs. bank branch rollout costs (USD$1M): I see modern parallels to our space (fully automated contactless food preparation and retail). Also interesting to see frank admission of extreme SPOFs: There are over 300 banks in Texas on CIRRUS, but they're all connected to a single node. Interesting how ridiculously inertia driven the whole banking industry is, when you compare modern ATM interfaces to statements like We support withdrawls and balance inquiry from checking, savings and line-of-credit accounts. [...] We're planning to do automatic currency conversion for international transactions. Even on the other side of the world here in China, that basically defines the menu options available today some 40 years later. And the original HQ was Detroit! Oh how the mighty have fallen...

Also amazing: they only targeted 95% uptime (excluding 12 Federal Reserve bank holidays when they were down anyway) and many banks were unable to even reach that level of service! The switch itself was above 98%. This is horrific by today's standards, as was the maximum processing time (45 seconds) and suggested transmission latency allowances (4 seconds). Team size: <1 full time programmer. Code length: 9K lines. TX volume: 50K/month, 4K/day peak.

Orwell was a prophet.
Last year i replaced my aging mac pro with a 3900x amd Hackintosh. The cpu upgrade was hard to believe. Everything felt fast in a way even my 2019 air failed to achieve.

The idea that the laptop-grade M1 is keeping pace in these tests with the processor in my desktop is mind blowing. Sure the 5800x was tuned for these tests. Sure the M1 is on 5nm. All of this is missing the point: Intel created a huge market opportunity and 2 of the best poised companies to take advantage of it have.

Computer consumers are winning big thanks to TSMC in 2020. Let's all hope intel can turn things around and keep the space competitive.

Renting space that shares a netblock with a trusted host could make that more difficult.
M1 with all its CPUs pegged to 100% only hits 20W, so M1 still uses way less power than single core in Zen.

Edit: In fact I just ran Cinebench R23 single thread test and package power barely crossed 5W.

No statistically significant protective effect for the wearer, but as the study points out, it says nothing about protection of those around the wearer, which is the commonly accepted reason for mask wearing.
Fantastic article. As an Indian American, I’ve seen people go to great lengths in order to fit in with white America and distance themselves from other minorities. Like the author says, in the early years of Indian immigration, these efforts were necessary for survival. Today, though, I think a lot of Indian Americans don’t really have a reason to continue. Yet we have, and now we seem to think that it’s a virtue. The article is an interesting peek behind the curtain.
Maybe I’m too cynical, but it sounds like the new strain is an excuse to explain why the U.K. PM, who until a day ago was publicly not putting any restrictions on Britons, and especially Londoners for Christmas, is now suddenly reversing himself.
> everyone silently hates those people

What? No.

I don’t have a good sense for this. Having friends and colleagues and a partner with the focus and attention span for it is invaluable. Like it or not, power dynamics are real. And teams with someone tuned into their social dynamics can work better than one purely technical and aloof.

Just because one doesn’t have a sense for a thing doesn’t make that thing despicable.
But this device wasn't built for use cases where power consumption doesn't matter.

The M1 MacPro will give us a sense for how the M* design scales to those sorts of workloads.
Interestingly, the conclusion states the following:

> While M1 is indeed very powerful for its size, when comparing it to the high-end x86 desktop, it is still slower.

Okay, great. I'm not sure what to expect when you compare the lowest end first generation processor from Apple to one of the more high-end of the spectrum x86.

Edit: Forgot to mention how the power draw on the M1 is still significantly less; m1 with all cores @ 100% is ~20W whereas the x86 ryzen was at 17.3W for 1 one core

> To conclude that it performs better than the existing x86 CPUs, is a mistake.

True, no denying that. Exciting times in this market; I wonder how much better gen 2 of Apple's chips will be if the lowest end can do this.
Its clear that it wasn't an insult because I said so multiple times specifically to clear up any ambiguity. That’s the point.
> I do not live in America and the country I live in has it's own set of special characters to deal with.

Yes. I’ve noticed that programmers from all over the world are narrow-minded and view things like international, inclusive standards to be “bloat”, preferring a monoculture since that would make things simpler (technically simpler, which is all that matters if you have no sense of aesthetics or culture).
While I appreciate the usefulness of such observational skills and I can do it to a decent degree, I tend not to most of the time. I just switch it off.I don't want to live my life where every interaction is some spy game or thriller,where everyone in the room scans each other for clues. Having said that, I must admit that observational skills pulled me out of very very difficult situations a few times.

But that standard is too strict. I mean, this specific book isn't a replacement for Dr. Seuss. No one is going to buy this for their kids (or new graduates) who don't already know the Seuss book. And obviously no one is going to consume this instead of Picard season 2.

It's definitely not competing with the original. But it's trading on the originals, which is clearly sort of unfair. So the court wants to find against them. But the only tools in the box are these clumsy arguments about "transformation" that would seem to apply equally to this thing if it wasn't commercial. But if it wasn't a commercial product, it wouldn't have seemed unfair!

Basically, the law just needs a clearer standard here for what it clearly wants to do.

The semantic gymnastics here are pretty interesting. It’s about as secure / impossible to penetrate as anyone could reasonably guarantee in the face of future uncertainty. If you don’t understand why, please check references on how seccomp works: https://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/Seccomp
Some countries have done better than others. Spain, France, and Italy have all done badly, but Germany and Portugal have much better outcomes than the UK.

The point about test and trace plus limited lockdowns is that you can play whack-a-mole with clusters, which does a far better job of preventing transmission than anything short of a vaccine.

Countries with aggressive test and trace and compulsory self-isolation have done best of all - and with limited economic damage.

None of this should be rocket science, but apparently it's not a priority for the UK government which has literally used a deadly pandemic as an excuse to hand out billions of pounds of public cash to mates, cronies, and party donors. With no expectation of any effective service provision in return.

Literally. That is not exaggeration in any way. It's on the record - including some court records - that the UK gov has been doing this.
Not sure what you mean by "dogma". Maybe its not the right word? Perhaps you mean a resistance to new ideas or prevalence of group think?

Both are places where a huge number of people pass, and nearly nobody stays for long. I imagine both would give a very large number of false positives, so you'll need a lot of work to get little impact.
The correct command is -inurl:pinterest.

Additionally, for those, who likes to add reddit in the search query, i'd also like to recommend " inurl:forum OR inurl:board " (note also that forum and forums gives different results for some reason).

Personally, I like to do broad searches on google to discover new stuff, but for the past 7 or 8 years, google often returns ~100 result instead of the usual 1000000+. And, contrary to the logic, adding various inurl: commands actualy gives you more results instead of limiting them and thus significantly improves searching capabilities.
There's a lot of under 80s who are now experiencing "long covid" semi-disabling symptoms weeks or months after infection. I know a few personally.

Getting the measures right gets rid of covid and lets people get back to normal. Bad measures give the worst of both worlds, prolonging the problem.

Agreed. I used it for about two months and spent dozens of hours trying to help friends/family troubleshoot random glitches the clients had, the unintuitive encryption settings and hugely underwhelming performance that comes with S3-type storage. I loved the idea but it really is a bloated mess and I couldn’t trust it to work when I needed it to.
Welcome to the Thanksgiving bump. People didn't listen and stay home. And, if they got together, they didn't wear masks.

Masks work, but people have to bloody well use them.
Does anyone know how many watts a single core can consume on the M1?
This is all splitting hairs. Major manufacturers are in active competition and bar temporary hick-ups they will all be leap frogging each other while offering more or less the same deal over time in regards to performance / power.
In the end it'll be just personal preference whether go with Apple, AMD or Intel.

it is also possible to get different plugins as well as there are many apps on f-droid that integrate nicely

As if retraction is enough. The entire main stream media has lost all credibility. And if you are on the opposite side of the political spectrum of the 95% of media, then you are aware of a lot more fake journalism done by the media and yet get called names by people.

Even now, reading through the comments, it seems like a lot of people are congratulating NYTimes for finally admitting their entire podcast was bust. After all the damage has already been done, majority of the retractions don't even get to most people who read/listened to the original fake journalism and NYTimes is only retracting now because they got caught and they ignored all the multiple challenges which were raised originally.
Offhand can you think of any improvement here over existing lumber products like LVLs?
Engineering: A Compiler covers the issues you mention, but it is part of at least some CS curricula so I'm not sure it's what you're looking for.
Some of you will still get Long Covid, which may leave you with permanent breathing issues and other health problems.

The biggest lie is that if you're under 30 you're immune. You're not - not even slightly. You're far less likely to die than someone who is 85 and obese with diabetes and high blood pressure. But no one knows what the long term health implications are for younger people who make a partial recovery. And there's been a non-negligible number of those.
To be honest, I feel like the base CS degree is kind of useless to anyone who has worked in the industry for a while. But it does give you the opportunity to do an MS or PhD, which could be more interesting if there's still an academic itch you want to scratch.

How does the engine determine open source?

I checked a paper, 10.1097/RHU.0000000000000563 for example; which I know for a fact is open-source marked as non open source.

Otherwise, very nice tool. Will be using this regularly. Awesome stuff.
NB: I'm answering to the claim that we behave differently when naming things in programming languages vs natural languages. Otherwise I think it's mostly a matter of preferences.

I understand you prefer to be more detailed in your naming, that's fine, but in natural languages your names would sound unusual/verbose as much as they do sound unusual/verbose in Python.

You say everybody understands what a "washing machine" is therefore a short name.

Are you saying that when washing machines were still a novelty they should have been called "clothes-washing machines" instead? Unusual naming right? People do seem to have a distaste for long and overly-detailed names in spoken languages as well, don't you think?

And what's the point of a dictionary if names embed a full definition that leaves nothing to be guessed?

> Sure and I'm saying most people are wrong about where this "balance" actually lies. People place too much emphasis on conciseness.

Where to draw the line can be a matter of preferences, no intention of debating that, but people do tend to draw the line the same way whether they speak English or Python. No incoherent behaviour there.

They are pretty common at least in Europe, in particular if you are looking for a visa type that doesn't require a sponsor. There are ways around them - for example Spain will let you apply for a 'startup' if you are starting your own company - but kind of a bummer if you thought you could just move to Europe.

I’m a solo person on google enterprise for $20 a month. It sadly cannot be beat. Unlimited storage (almost 40TB) and email is all I care about and it works pretty much flawlessly (besides this weeks outage). I wouldn’t want to have the hassle of running it myself nor the price of storing all that data. So sadly I remain with google.
Not sure about the UK, but any kind of insecure or temporary housing is counted for the US - including people living on couches.
Furthermore, there is this idea of egoism. To think merely of profit - which you see in major cities with millions of people in the United States, it seems - is to be egoistic. The root of kindness is egotistical poverty. After all: egoism overlooks, kindness sees. You may substitute the words 'humility' or 'attention' for 'kindness' for the former and latter claim, and it will still hold true. And therefore, egoism is really inattention for it pays attention to what does not matter.

This is possibly a self-destructive pattern, too. Once nobody can find anything outside of Quora/Wikipedia/Pinterest/Stackoverflow etc. why would anyone bother creating small sites/blogs (this has been happening already for a decade) — But then, once the entire accessible web is just these handful of big sites, what is Google’s utility? They all have internal search and are increasingly accessed primarily through apps
As a native NYer I find this comment odd. In the US we have places around the country with Stand Your Ground laws — and locals wanting to exercise that right for the slightest slight, with devastating consequence. And we’re worried about someone being rude/aggressive on a NY street? We have to put all this in perspective.

> The entire main stream media has lost all credibility.

This is such baloney. Yes, the main stream media does have certain biases that may swing what they choose to report on, and how they choose to report it.

But fundamentally the main stream media still cares about fact and truth. When confronted with evidence the story was falsified, the NYTimes convened an investigation, issued a retraction, returned the Peabody, and reassigned the reporter. You may argue "too little, too late", but they addressed their mistake.

Compare that with much of the "alternative" media, that when presented with clear evidence of fraud or lies, usually just doubles down and screams those lies on repeat.
The newspapers are full of reports of special interest groups jockeying for priority. It's a test of how much political pull each has, rather than their need. (Of course, each will frame it in terms of their need.)

This one. Kinda. The timing may vary, and it's a risk distribution, so there are tails on the low and high ends.
That is speculation. We have no way to know what led to the ban. The person who is banned has no way to know, either. Facebook has given no indication.

When Twitter bans or suspends someone, they say which tweet(s) broke the rules, and which rules were broken. There is no reason why Facebook cannot do the same. It would clarify rightful bans, and make contesting wrongful bans easier.

Bricking someone's $300 device like this without warning or recourse is incredibly anti-consumer.
