Oh piss off.

If not intentionally ignoring the harm you cause to others is ethnocentric then, yeah, I’m proudly ethnocentric.
Image stacking is extremely common in low-light photography, especially astrophotography (where it is essentially the only way to get the 30min+ long exposures needed to image some deep-space objects). This need is somewhat mitigated by a sky tracker, which moves your camera together with the sky, but these are expensive and will slowly drift, making it still require multiple exposures (though you can get to several minutes before you get trailing, while without one you can only really get to a few seconds).

Basically, it's a pretty common technique for increasing SNR, it's a very different kind of "doing things in software" than, say, an iPhone's fake bokeh. It's no surprise that phones are starting to use it.
>But...that is 4K. It's what 4K is defined as, exactly 2x 1080p resolution in each dimension.

That's irrelevant though, except if we're talking about consuming movies fullscreen.

For a monitor I don't want 4K, I want insivible pixels at viewing distances, so hi-dpi.

I would also prefer no scaling for assets that are bitmap in nature. This ideally means pixel doubling (less cpu/gpu demanding and less fuzzy than fractional scaling).

This, for 27" and more, means higher resolution that 4K. I don't want to restrict myself to pixel-doubled 1920x1080 on my 27" or 32" monitor.

You do get nice DPI, but needlessly large buttons and other assets (compared to something closer to 5K).
I’ve been close to poor and now I’m rich. (Don’t tell me about the fucking Sudan I mean in USA terms.) I’m not sure how I feel about it other than that I would help anyone in my life who needed it. There is someone close to me who I have helped a lot and will continue to. This is why I made the money, because I think our societies are brutal and terrible and will trample all over whatever and whoever they can. And nobody is ever going to fix that. That includes me, I can’t either. I can help those around me though.

I guess the real question is: what will actually happen if the SEC wins this case (which we should assume they will). Ripple is vast and presumably has the resources to deal with any judgement against them. The ruling would have to make the administrative burden of managing global XRP holdings unviable in order to really change the overall equation here. Is Ripple just getting slapped with a small fine in the realm of possibility?
France != Paris. Considering only the cities, there is a massive difference between the majority of European cities I’ve visited and all US cities I’ve visited — the worst in Europe is about the equal of the best in America (e.g. Bay Area, NYC), to the extent that the only time I’ve owned a car was a 2-week period when my ex moved out of the country and wanted me to sell hers on her behalf.

My worst pedestrian experience was Salt Lake City, where the footpaths stopped suddenly and without apparent reason in the middle of the residential area I was staying in. I had to backtrack and guess a lot.

Sure, the sudden absence of footpaths can happen in Europe too (I’ve seen it in Λάρνακα, Luxembourg, and Hochstadt, though never to the same extent), but for the most part even tiny villages in Europe have better public transport and pedestrian access than the various American cities I’ve visited.
It's not too complicated. We could expand from how cruise ships are build. Where the cabins come in ready build modules and then their water, drain, power and AC is connected from outside. In shared shaft running next to the unit.

So just give a option to chain a few of these units together.
A run like 0000000 is only compressible if it appears more often than it would in a fully random output. And in a fully random output, we would expect the run '0000000' to appear about once every 16 bytes.

When you compress 0000000 to something smaller, you have to replace '0000000' in the plaintext with a smaller symbol in the squash text. Which means if that smaller symbol appears in the plaintext, you have to replace it with a larger symbol in the squash text. And if your smaller symbol appears more frequently than '0000000', you are going to end up with a "squash" text that is larger than the plaintext.
You're not searching enough. I found Cheetos in two local stores in Europe.
Go to /r/all and try to find the first pro-T. post and the first "orange man bad" post. If you don't find any pro-T. posts quickly, then this is your example.

We know from the election results that about half of the U.S. voters prefer R. party or T. in particular. This is a lot - this can't be a fringe group by definition of "fringe".

In 2016, scrolling through reddit you could see it. There was a contested election, there were supporters from both sides on reddit, noisy and visible. In 2020, you'll be hard-pressed to find some pro-T. content unless you know where to look (I don't, and won't bother), it's all "orange man bad" now. He probably is, but come on.

So, reddit somehow shut off the half of its home country from participating in political discussion on their website. They're probably in their own right, but this is scary shit.

I see your point. I was trying to preserve some of the tone from The Register, which was saying that this looks hypocritical, but space is limited. I could take a leaf out of Bloomberg's book and swap out "Saudi oil" for Aramco. (Or anyone else leap in with suggestions, or perhaps a mod could effect a well-judged edit?)

Anyhow, the Bloomberg article is worth reading; tone is less snarky, as you'd expect, but it does reference similar aspects that seem like contradictions:

Sound is really important (more important than video tbh). Fortunately, good microphones are aplenty, even a cheap Boya PVM1000 for like $50 works great (takes batteries, connects directly to a 3.5mm jack).

I had a Lumia 520 running WP8 for several years. If there's one word for this OS, it's "disciplined". It was easy on battery, it was totally stable (in my experience anyway) and it was absolutely miserly with mobile data. For example the email client still used ActiveSync, a protocol which was designed when every byte still counted, and there was virtually no unexplained "operating system" mobile data usage.

The discipline also extended to heavy sandboxing of the apps so a lot of functionality was simply unimplemetable, such as reminders for missed notifications.

But the phone worked, the UI was intiutive and responsive, and the only reason to move on, other than general phone obsolescence like the 5MP camera, was the lack of mainstream apps.

We had a brief experience with WP10 on another phone, and it seemed spiffier but less stable. WP8 was the high point.

The article really mixes up "being free" and "having FSF validation".

While having FSF validation is indeed some kind of proof of due diligence, in the end what really matters is the trust that users place in the project itself in following their guidelines.

I do not have a particularly strong trust for the (modern) FSF, so their validation adds nothing, IMHO, in my trust in Purism.
Really enjoyed the math.ucla.edu link, good pace for me. Thanks.
Not sure what you meant by "toy benchmarks", but to me this has a very negative connotation. The SBCL compiler excells at complex code and regularly produces much better output than most Lisp compilers. CLOS is a very bad example for judging the compiler quality, because its performance heavily depends on the implementation. To compare compilers, you would have to use the identical underlying CLOS implementation. A bad one can ruin your performance independantly of the compiler used. To make comparisons, one needs benchmarks where the whole code in question is compiled by the different compilers.

To my knowledge, SBCL switched to a precise GC some time ago. But I still would expect ACL's GC to outperform the SBCL one.

The [Pew Research article they linked to](https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2018/09/06/the-america...) uses this definition:

> In our analysis, “middle-income” Americans are adults whose annual household income is two-thirds to double the national median, after incomes have been adjusted for household size.

And they seem to use "middle-income" and "middle-class" interchangeably.

Note that this definition is quite different than what may have been used in your history/economics classes in school/college.
In my experience, the High-DPI support of Windows 10 is excellent. I am using a 27" 3840x2160 screen set to 150% next to an old 24" 1920x1200 screen at 100%. Pretty much all modern applications seamlessly adapt to the pixel density of the screen they are currently running on without any interpolation.

Will people in the future consider big tech employees to be the equivalent of war criminals? Guilty of vast human rights abuses and well paid for it. It's an interesting question I had never considered until this thread. Societies often change in such ways over time; what's mildly questionable today is considered an egregious human rights violation decades later.

If privacy is a human right, then what are the employees of big tech guilty of? Simple question, obvious answer.

Will societies in the future hold human rights abuse trials, looking back on what was done during this era?

The employees of Google and Facebook are as guilty as the management. Without the employees, none of it happens. And they have been paid like princes for the deeds that they've done.

After the robber barons, what should society do with the employees at big tech that make it all possible and knowingly assist criminal enterprises? Nobody that works at big tech can pretend to not know what these companies do at this point. These people are all morally responsible.

Should they be social pariahs? Should they be held responsible for the damage they've caused? They all know what the big paychecks are bribes meant to cover. Here's $400k per year, have some moral flexibility, intentionally harm your fellow humans, look the other way.

Nobody pretends employees at Blackwater just happened to be working for an evil corporation. If you worked at Blackwater you knew what you were doing, what you were contributing to. You cashed your paycheck regardless. If you've worked for big tech in the past decade plus, you knew what you were doing and what you were assisting, you knew what you were being paid so well to do.
> It goes beyond kicking someone out of the bar to not allowing someone to open a bar.

This analogy doesn't work. Anyone can open their own "bars" on the Web. Reddit and Voat are the "bars" here. Voat was created because they were kicked off of Reddit. Voat even mimics Reddit in terms of functionality.

I hate to break it to you, but in NYC, nearly everyone, regardless of ethnicity or melanin content, jaywalks.

In fact, we don't call it jaywalking, we call it "crossing the street."

And the fact that out of 8.5 million people, only 80 were cited and 79 of those were people of color (and all 80 male), it's not only obvious that such citations are motivated by something other than "routine" law enforcement, but it's clearly just a trumped up charge to stop someone they wanted to stop anyway.

Spend an hour in midtown Manhattan and you'll see that's absolutely the case.
> trans men would be competing in the male competitions, and seem to be invisible in the whole trans debate anyway.

Something that was pointed out to me recently that I thought was quite insightful. The greater societal acceptance of trans men compared to trans women seems to parallel the greater societal acceptance of cis women presenting in a masculine way compared to cis men presenting in a feminine way.

Which leads to the interesting idea that the key to societal acceptance of trans women may be widening what is considered socially acceptable for cis men.

"Couldn't get in, so they suck".
Thanks, I hadn't run across that writeup, though well aware of the issue.

This was a little gem in that article, seemingly highly relevant now:

> However, Rawls qualifies this with the assertion that under extraordinary circumstances in which constitutional safeguards do not suffice to ensure the security of the tolerant and the institutions of liberty, tolerant society has a reasonable right of self-preservation against acts of intolerance that would limit the liberty of others under a just constitution, and this supersedes the principle of tolerance. This should be done, however, only to preserve equal liberty – i.e., the liberties of the intolerant should be limited only insofar as they demonstrably limit the liberties of others: "While an intolerant sect does not itself have title to complain of intolerance, its freedom should be restricted only when the tolerant sincerely and with reason believe that their own security and that of the institutions of liberty are in danger."
I'd agree.
I recently picked up a Logitech Brio (employer was paying) and quite happy with it. Main advantage to me is that it can produce a decent picture without me having to faff around with lighting.

There's no requirement in Congress that amendments are germane to the purpose of the bill, unlike in the UK. This kind of 'Christmas tree' bill, where all kinds of personal favourite measures are added to some kind of must-pass legislation, is common.

Having briefly interned in both Parliament and Congress, I'm not entirely sure which is the better/worse system. Parliament certainly wouldn't allow this - but then, if the government wants giveaway bills its basically got the power to put them through Parliament with little-to-no oversight. Where Congress has independence, it also has this kind of legislative log-rolling and low-level corruption. I prefer the UK system, but it's not clear-cut.
In my experience, this will result in a ton of unneeded extra complexity. Microservices are very heavy and should be cut along domain boundaries and not technical boundaries so that they are as independent as possible and you reduce the need for synchronous communication. In the example above, I would probably use cloud functions or a distributed actor system.

I broke out all our code for displaying public content into a few different microservices so my sites could easily grab them, which allowed me to play with different frameworks and ways to display our content (blog posts and directory/references for biology). The new content microservices endpoints are also a public (though undocumented) API as an extra bonus.

Basically it gave me the flexibility to work faster, and generating the code (e.g. the REST endpoint or the Svelte/Sapper front-end) is also a lot faster, and I get to host them on Vercel for free

Oh and it also helps me to separate business logic code and other not-so-public data to somewhere else (Heroku instead of Vercel) and it just runs completely separately. That way I don't have to worry about accidentally sharing data

As a solo designer/engineer this Vercel + microservices / tiny APIs + tiny frontends makes my life much easier

Yeah, no. I have a 25" UltraSharp from them and it has a "fun" bug where it advertises to the system that it refreshes at 59.95hz but in fact refreshes at exactly 60hz, which leads to the monitor(!!!) Freezing for a frame every 20 seconds or so, it's absolutely infuriating in games and movies, and I only found out how to fix it by modifying windows drivers and forcing it to refresh at solid 60hz despite what the monitor advertises. But of course you can't do that with something like a PS4 connected to it. Would never buy another dell, thanks.

Our current habit of disposing of crap sight unseen in ways that flush all those essential nutrients into the oceans may seem like a great improvement over the stench of the big cities at the end of the 19th century, but it is also entirely unsustainable.

Agriculture has gotten by with synthetic fertilizers for a while, but N, P, and K aren't everything plants need... they also yearn for the countless micro-nutrients in our bodily wastes which are lost when we flush. And while N (Nitrogen) and K (Potassium) aren't likely to run out any time soon, P (Phosphorus) is in limited supply and finding enough of it for our agricultural needs may become a serious problem later this century. Not to mention the fact that producing NPK fertilizer takes a lot of energy.

Hopefully most of us won't have to give up the flush toilet, but we absolutely will have find better ways of dealing with the "downstream" product and start recovering its significant value. In the not-so-distant future shit will be valuable again.
