The question of nominal versus PPP GDP is a bit complicated, but a basic rule of thumb is that nominal GDP is better if you're measuring trade (since the nominal rate is the actual value you'll get during international exchange transactions), whereas PPP works better for individual cost-of-living or quality-of-life metrics.

For measuring gross economy size, I would go with nominal GDP.

Most of my programming has been in various garbage collected languages, where indeed the language ensures that there's a path to use allocated memory, and if not, it gets rid of it.

It doesn't stop you leaking memory though. You can store stuff in a map and then never get it out again, and depending on what you're doing, that sort of thing can be surprisingly common.
For what it's worth, you can make a copy with "File > Make a copy" and delete the edited doc. The copy will not preserve history. You can verify this yourself - after making the copy, the only thing in the copied doc's revision history is a single change that adds the entire document's contents.

Tesla sells an upgrade literally named “Full Self-Driving Capability”. The owner/driver is clearly liable but a strong argument could be made that Tesla should not be allowed to name things the way they do.

I’m not sure if these issues are widespread. I use a MacBook for work and have a personal one at home. Updates generally just work — I was promoted to install Big Sur. I made sure the charger was plugged in, and then I left it running for a bit while I was doing other stuff around my home.

I’m not saying issues don’t exist. Maybe I’m lucky? I wonder what percentage of machines are actually impacted.
You're placing too much trust into the effectiveness of pi-hole and its associated filter lists. Here are some failure modes I can think of:

* using fallback hardcoded IPs when DNS fails

* using DoH so it's impossible to tamper with the response

* using the same domain for spying as other critical functions

* new domains might not show up on the filter lists right away, and if the TV keeps a backlog of failed requests, all your viewing history might be uploaded when that happens
Mistletoes are plants of the genus Viscum from the sandalwood family..Santalaceae.

Mistletoes ..like sandalwoods..are semi-parasitic, epiphytic shrubs that select trees as hosts.

One of my current projects is preparing the crop planning for sandalwood plantations. Santalum Album or Indian sandalwood is the best cultivar and has the most valuable sandalwood heartwood. It takes about 15 years to get a good heartwood and sapwood ratio as well as the best quality for the best oil distillation.

It has to follow a very strict crop and host planting rotation. Many host plants of different lifespans have to be selected as the first two years are most crucial for its parasitic inputs.

There is much we don’t know about this family.
I 100% agree, plus I wouldn't trust a service that says "anonymous and secure" when they don't force HTTPS and still talk about SSL.
The counterintuitive findings of behavioral balancing – wearing masks dur (cont)
Doing reverse engineering on a tv sounds like it costs hundreds or thousands in time, with few guarantees.
I think Google Wave proved that UX confusion was a bigger hurdle than the tech for collaborative editing.
Indeed sounds like circular reasoning, cannot come up with a sensible context to waste code on such a tool.

To jump the wagon, since it passes by, the former points to the latter: coders should stop their toddler approach to language. Streamline all possibilities and probabilities, all needs, problem-solving, into a single vocabulary, library, "framework". Make it a self-censoring effort, that opens up addressing the use-case of code: addressing problems in the real world, what can be called science, data-mining, AI, ...what frees the mind to the utmost, into what is possible. Do work that does not result in coder farms (thousands a la google), complexity and derivative overflow. Learn once, learn well, and be able to express your needs, in a language that does not change from tool to tool, from coder-critter to the next one. Cut the archane-ry, the brabbling, the proprietary obfuscation, the phishing for a "job" as an atom of some entity that redistributes the wealth to few and singular no-effort individuals, those who herd the energy of the workhorses and leave them empty hulls, spent consumers of their own making.
It's funny that at the same time that Jim Keller was heading up the team that was developing the Zen micro-architecture Keller also had been tasked with managing a second team to develop an ARM ISA Variant and that Project was code named K12.

Now K12 is not the ARM Cores that where used in AMD's Seattle Server Processor as Seattle used Arm Holding's reference design A57 cores and that was released as the Opteron A1100 ARM Server processor. But K12 was not that Seattle core as K12 was an in house custom micro-architecture that was similar to Zen but engineered to execute the ARMv8A ISA. And that project K12 along with Project Sky Bridge(Pin Compatible x86/ARM socketed motherboard design) was mothballed in favor of just Zen/x86.

So AMD very likely still has the Verilog for its K12 custom ARM core and really AMD's already had the A1100 to market albeit with A57 cores and not any K12 custom ARM cores. So AMD's very well capable of packaging and integrating an ARM core into a usable product.

What AMD and Intel are lacking in most is the other non CPU core processing block IP that the M1 has included like the NPU and DSPs and other specialized on SOC IP that are included on the M1. And Apple's in house CPU/SOC teams are really ahead there as is the OS/API and software ecosystems that Apple has developed to make all that happen seamlessly for application developers that are targeting Apple's M1 silicon.

When you need ad revenue, you need user tracking as well as incendiary content. If you can't get people upset so they keep interacting, and then suggest they go and buy some new coffee filters, how will you ever turn a profit.

It's not like Reddit is one guy who lives in the woods, it has so much investor money they need to keep growth up. And app installs are absolutely a fantastic kpi, the more people they can force to install the app the more active installs they can claim, and that makes board members happy

To be completely fair I think hacker News also attracts a much more mature demographic. The mod team does a very good job in filtering out even borderline content.

If you're using GraalVM already, I think Sulong might be better -- my experience with WASM (for C) is that there's a bevy of POSIX-correct-but-ANSI-incorrect tricks that don't work properly on WASM.

The problem with Windows RT was the gimped API. If Microsoft had used that opportunity to completely do away with their "backwards compatibility is sacrosanct" ethos and exposed an equally capable API then app developers would have flocked to it.

I remember being at a product design meeting when Windows RT was about to be released and every feature that we wanted to bring over from our flagship x86 software, our tech lead kept repeatedly saying "no we can't do that. The API does not allow it". Finally we said fk it, let's come back to this in a year or two after Microsoft gets their act together. And we never did.

"For your hardcore fleshy, a bloody slab of meat is all that's going to satiate them, so it misses that market too."

I think you're really painting people who don't follow your thinking with a pretty aggressively negative stereotype here.

I love a good steak. The fact that it came from a cow is irrelevant to me - I like it for taste/texture/etc. If you can give me the exact same product from a lab, I'll 100% buy it (especially if it's cheaper). This is how most people are (and not just about meat) - they care about the end product they're consuming, not its origins or how it got to them (otherwise, y'know, we'd be thinking about where our iPhones came from and whatnot). Give them the identical product they have now that's better along some line that matters to them (like cost) and they'll happily switch.

I have a Zyxel switch that I had to disconnect from my network because every once in awhile it would just go nuts - I'd get a crazy amount of traffic and upwards of 80% packet loss across my network. But just for a few minutes, then everything would go back to normal.

Took me a while to narrow it down to the switch, and I'm still not really sure what was happening, but it hasn't come up again since I disconnected it.

I used to follow this same practice as well, however I am going on an indefinite holding pattern until Apple fixes the exceptions they grant their own applications so an application firewall can no longer filter their traffic.

Still haven't seen any updates as to whether this problem has been resolved since it broke out in the beta days or in the days preceding the official release.

I think the OP knows they exist. But the point being that the TV still ships with a TV OS that is out of date in 2-3 years. It'd be nice to buy a high quality 4K HDR TV panel with a barebones OS to select sources and tweak the picture.

Like, even if I used a Chromecast and only a Chromecast, my TV would still be an Android TV that randomly crashes now and then or has audio which randomly cuts out.

This is not balanced correctly. There are 9 oxygen atoms on the left hand and only 3 oxygen atoms on the right hand.

Hydrogen peroxide can act as a reducing agent relative to some things, like permanganate anions, but it's an oxidizing agent relative to metallic iron. Hydrogen peroxide cannot substitute for coal or hydrogen in steel production.
That's mostly American television. I cannot watch American documentaries because everything is being hyped as largest, heaviest, most expensive, deadliest, etc. and is being narrated in the same sensationalist tone. I cannot convey the tone by text but you certainly know what I mean. The interesting details always get lost because the hype must be there to keep people watching after the next ad break.

European documentaries usually simply follow the process and neutrally explain what is happening.
>>> We no longer provision load balancers, or configure DNS; we simply describe the resources that we need, and Kubernetes makes it happen.

This is (part) of what keeps me in the stone age. You are provisioning load balancers and DNS - but just one step removed through k8s

And my prior is that we need to understand that, be aaare of it, have a model of what is going on to help develop and debug.

And so it feels a bit like "magic abstraction". And then to peek through the abstraction you suddenly not only need to know about DNS and which machine is running bind, but also how kubernetes internally stores it's DNS config and how it spits that out and what version they changed it with.

In other words you have to become expect in two things to debug it.

And maybe it's worth it - but I struggle to see why it's not simpler to keep my install scripts going.

(OK I guess I am writing my own answer - but surely the point is what is the simplest level of thin install scripts needed to deploy containers?)

"Actually you would not expect it to increase the Downs rate at all - the null hypothesis is that there are X% Downs babies born and Y% identified through amniocentesis (where X-Y is z% the percentage of parents choosing termination)"

No, see, you're misunderstanding and making the exact same mistake by assuming that the nurses sat down and crunched the spreadsheets, which they obviously did not, and implicitly conditioning. Yes, if you slice the multivariable data just the right way to extract the conditional %, the increase would be the same. Screening more women won't make the conditional percentage go up.

However, if you are just a nurse, observing # of women coming in, and # of confirmed Down babies coming out... Screening more women will mechanically make the # of confirmed Down babies go up. And that's what the rate is, it's a count.

The other 2020: 274 ways the world got better this year
My likely unpopular opinion, humans shouldn't have pets any more, i think its an overall net negative driven by peoples selfish need to take care of a thing, be loved and have attention.

Dogs are particularly bad. off leash owners cant control them, we have kill shelters, breeding for obscene prices, dog shit being left all over, dog fighting. Then people just don't know how to take care of them. I had a neighbor that left their dog outside for hours barking. such a nuisance for no reason, and that dog must have been living a miserable life. we keep breeding chihuahuas that no one wants, pitbulls that can't be adopted, and some of these pure breeds like bulldogs are just miserable, other pure breeds have health issues.

Cats we're already talking about.
> I think you are coming close to letting the perfect be the enemy of the good here.

Completely agree here. We have four cats plus foster regularly... the catio definitely created net positive happiness, but the key is really just the elimination of boredom. Cats need stimulation just like people. Some toys, a tower, a good window - just keep on top of their needs and they will be happy

Serialization for non human readable code. Usually IPv4 addresses are stored as int32 in databases or memory
Hydrogen is also notoriously low density, even in liquid form. It embritles metals on contact. Hydrogen fires are invisible during the day (if you see rocket engineers walking around with broom pointed forward in front of them, that's why).

Personally I count on hydrogen for high energy space propulsion (either chemical with oxygen or alone in a NERVA for NTR) as otherwise it's IMHO too much of a headache to work with in practice.
The main GM article on Wikipedia used to make that distinction, but it was heavily edited to de-emphasize the fact that the original GM was liquidated. The original company was General Motors Corporation. That went bankrupt, and the name was changed to Motors Liquidation Company. If you were a GM stockholder before the bankruptcy, you ended up with stock in Motors Liquidation. If you were a creditor of GM, you were a creditor of Motors Liquidation.

A new company, General Motors Company, was created, and it bought the more useful assets of Motors Liquidation. Not all of them. Motors Liquidation was left to sell off unwanted plants, and such assets as GM's car collection. (GM used to have a collection of one of everything they'd made.) Today's GM is General Motors Company, much smaller than "Old GM".

My back of the envelope calcs say that if batteries energy density increases by 30-50% the weight penalty for electric cars disappears. It's a fuzzy line because it depends on the cars range.

Difference between electric and gasoline cars. With a gas car the marginal cost of extra range is low. With electric it's high. With gas cars the marginal cost of extra HP is high where with electric it's low.

>32-bit int representation of an ipv4 address

Internally, I would imagine that almost every IPv4 stack uses 32bit ints to represent an address. Its not that crazy to think this would leak out somewhere.

I've written (un)parsers where we would just treat IPv4 addresses as integers because A) that is how they were treated in the binary data and B) given what we were doing with the data, we didn't actually care about the IPv4 field.

Compression in the context of (jpeg) images often implies lossy compression. You can apply that multiple times ans still gain size benefits. Other ways are stripping metadata and reducing color palettes. Images on websites are often horribly unoptimized, so if you’re willing to compromise a little on quality you can have substantial gains in bandwidth requirements.

I think that's a pretty hardcore exaggeration. The last couple of times I talked to people from Apple (about getting a job there) they were pretty open about what they did and the tech they were using - and what they were looking for in terms of the person they wanted to hire. Unfortunately I wasn't quite the person they needed in either case. I came REALLY CLOSE last time, so I was sad to find out I still didn't have quite the amount of experience he wanted.

Oh well.
Yes, most current EVs (including Teslas) have single-speed transmissions at each motor driving two wheels via a diff.

Some upcoming models, such as the Rivian R1T pick-up, put a discrete motor at each wheel, allowing each to be driven independently without need for a diff.
