It's sort of funny how you get used to things and normalize them, especially the violence that occurs in the US. I lived in Chicago for nearly a decade, much of it on the near west side, and it was normal to hear gunshots a few blocks away. Violent crime was normal - a pub restaurant I used to take my kids to along with other families, had a brutal murder where someone got their throat slit. And I wasn't living in a "bad" area either, it was filled with affluent middle class families. This was also with two coal fired power plants puffing away right in the middle of the city (this was in the 2000s even, what a joke!). Everyone just accepted these things as normal for living in Chicago. The US can be weirdly dissonant place at times.
Huh? That sounds wrong to me. Do you have a source for this?

I would love one. How much?
With the problems you are listing, you would have never been able to recommend Linux. The problem stem from lack of driver support in the kernel for the devices on your machine.

If that is the case, then your machine maker obviously does not support linux. So, it's no surprise that your machine had problems with linux.

If you buy a machine that supports linux, you would not see those problems. Nothing to do with linux, mostly to do with interaction of linux and your machine manufacturer.
It is unhelpful to most people on two levels - firstly, about half of us are below median intelligence. Secondly, not everyone can change the world all at once. There are too many people and too few things to change for that to be feasible. By the numbers, most people are going to have to be satisfied with having no real impact.
Same. I've since moved on to LXDE and then LXQt, but XFCE was there for me first.

When running the business I run, I want vendors that I can call, but not vendors I have to call.

Being able to do everything important about a service myself is one of the criteria I use for selecting services, including cancellation.

And you most definitely can talk to AWS on the phone. With paid support (which I'm sure your real businesses are using, right?), you can get a call back almost instantly any time of day.
Is this a technique that an optimizing compiler could automatically make use of? i.e. is it practical for a compiler to look at a (limited-size) function and be able to tell if refactoring it into a tail-calling version is possible?

(I'm sure the general case becomes 'halting problem' hard, but limiting the analyzed function size / cpu time might perhaps still manage to refactor enough code to be useful?)

Is there a backdoor for Chinese?
The atmosphere on Earth makes the temperatures a lot higher on re-entry. For rockets without the heat shielding, you need to do a re-entry burn just to slow down. Interestingly enough, unlike the Falcon 9, Rocket Lab's Electron uses carbon fiber wihch doesn't actually need a heat shield. The atmosphere can help slow the vehicle down a lot, but the Earth's higher gravity has a big impact on the rocket equation.

I think China will master Falcon 9 level re-usability in the late-2020s. Given SpaceX's development speed so far, by that point the launch market will have moved on Starship super-heavy lift vehicles with full re-usability of both stages.

China is blocked from competing in the international launch vehicle market (due to concerns over Chinese military espionage and tech transfer) so the benefit of having a commercially competitive rocket is not actually there. Unlike SpaceX, China can't tap into the demand for 100 launches per year on the global market.

Perhaps we'll see a People Liberation Army version of Starlink being launched in 2030, but the pocketbook of the government of China isn't infinite. They are already starting to struggle to provide the aged pension to their people -- culminating in the current push to move the women's retirement age back 10+ years.

I can't see China developing a competitive re-usable launcher for anything other than military payloads. Especially given a United States that will sanction any company linked to the Chinese military (just like they sanctioned SMIC when it appeared to be catching up while being a People's Liberation Army supplier).
Dunno if this exists. Maybe I should write one?

The CSS 2 spec was actually a good introduction to the fundamentals, but it is 20 years out of data now, and the new modular specs does not works well as a tutorial.
This is really an interesting thought. Would it surprise you if I said that for me, it works in an opposite manner? I first think in terms of diagrams and the construct sentences for it, whether it be programming language, natural language or math.
ZFS itself seems very stable and not to suffer from these issues though.
You can but you have to use various tricks to make it work:

- Play back what you've written with text-to-speech software. On a Mac, you can do this with the option-escape keyboard shortcut.

- Read it out loud yourself, slowly.

- Leave at least 24 hours between drafting and proofreading, longer if possible.

- Print the text in a different font and proofread on paper, marking errors with a pen.

- Use a "focus mode" that dims everything but the sentence you're proofreading. Read through each sentence slowly and deliberately. iA Writer can do this, as can a few other text editors.

- Use tools like Grammarly, but consider what they say guidance rather than hard-and-fast rules. They are often wrong or have an overly narrow definition of correctness, but they will help you to catch typos and and errors such as repeated words.

However, depending on time and money constraints, it's often more efficient to pay someone to do it for you.
I saw a schnauzer jump from a (high) second-floor balcony to go after a bitch in heat.
Same! I wonder if they added in the ability to make the window resize edges wider than 1pixel yet. So many wasted hours trying to find the resize pixel on all the windows
Xfce is lighter weight than Gnome 3, and actually allows you to customize things that matter (to me). You can set it up in various ways visually, even though the default look is usable out of the box.

Xfce's window manager is the best of all I've tried. Maybe not as configurable as e.g. Sawmill, it has a lot of useful functions that are missing from Gnome-based offerings, and from macOS: window snapping, automatic window resizing to grab available space (in several ways), simple automatic tiling, easy putting a window above others, etc. They all can be configured to have arbitrary shortcuts.

Xfce has fewer ambitions to integrate things and have their own everything. It allows you to just work with your apps without distraction.

Most importantly, Xfce is not trying to imitate macOS, but does its own thing, and stays consistent. It has very little magic in it.

Also, bugs are quite few and far between. They do not seem to rush to release new stuff.
You might try getting him tested for nutritional deficiencies.

Years ago, I read about a vitamin therapy protocol that was helpful for kids with autism and I put my son on the parts of it I could find, which was some B vitamins and magnesium. After a few months, his handwriting improved and so did his social skills.

He's in his thirties and a lot more functional than I ever thought he would be. To this day, when he starts making me too crazy the solution is "he needs B vitamins." (I typically try to get some steak into him at that point so he stops being weird and difficult.)

Use an easily memorable personalized passphrase. One that's easy for you to remember and impossible for anyone else. Repeat it in your mind like a mantra for days and it will stay with you decades later.

Personally I started doing this ~2000. I still remember my first one that I gave up meanwhile because I told it to my GF at the time and we broke up meanwhile.

You can easily top 100 characters this way. Though this is not something you want to do on a touchscreen device, it's a pain there with fat fingers.

There are a good range of other programming language interfaces to Stan. The R one is quite popular.[1]

You do still need the C++ toolchain, but can just write your code in R.

With openmaptiles, they had a hiccup when Mapbox sent C&D, because they used the same mvt scheme as Mapbox (thus they were able to use the same themes). Once they switched to their own scheme, I didn't notice any problems with maintenance.

With tileserver, it is more interesting. The full one (capable of generating raster tiles on demand) still needs ancient node.js (v10, soon to be eol), which can be a problem. The light one runs OK on the current stack.
I had been using btrfs for 5+ years without any issues.

Then a minor issue did happen, some files got missing after a system crash. That's not a problem in itself, that happens.

But then I discovered that the tooling of btrfs is awful to use. Tools to repair, restore, check, scrub, ... I think I got it to finally print some filenames of missing files after a huge amount of hoops. Just see how complex btrfs restore is: https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Restore. Ideally those tools would know how btrfs works internally including all indirections and be able to translate that into recovering files to the user, not have, for example, a user manually puzzle together objectid numbers from a huge list.

But anyway, that made me simply format everything back to ext4 and go with that again for now.

So, I was a happy btrfs user until I discovered how bad its tooling is. No issues with bugs or anything though.

I really want btrfs to become better given that it's present in the kernel and has checksums, cow, .... I hope it'll keep improving!

Meanwhile I was able to run the benchmark on MRI Ruby 2.1.0 and compare with 3.0.0 RC1; here are the results: http://software.rochus-keller.ch/are-we-fast-yet_crystal_rub...

Ruby 3.0 RC1 without JIT is factor 1.2 faster than Ruby 2.1.0; Ruby 3.0 with JIT is factor 1.4 faster than Ruby 2.1.0. So definitely less than factor 3.

Unfortunately the benchmark didn't work with Ruby 2.0.
There is literally a website for this specifically (https://dontkillmyapp.com/) created by the Urbandroid team (creators of Sleep as Android). Rather annongingly, the team started out due to problems encountered on HMD/Nokia phones, since acknowledged and partially fixed (https://sleep.urbandroid.org/documentation/faq/alarms-sleep-...).

Personal anecdote: even Google have been wishy-washy between different versions of Android when it comes from battery optimizations (Android 6/Marshmallow is the most hardest on this front), but at least it was documented. Imagine the pain of managing other brands (and it seems that all Android manufacturers engage on it one way or another).

Edit: in 2018, VideoLAN/VLC complained that Huawei agressively kills apps outside of its whitelist (https://twitter.com/videolan/status/1022033608670961665). There is no update on this one unfortunately, but I've heard that it was fixed in subsequent EmUI versions but there is no verification of that from VideoLAN or Huawei.

Edit edit: Unrelated to the notfications issue, benchmark scores are allegedly being tricked out by a certain chip manufacturer running the chips out-of-spec in a whitelist (https://www.techarp.com/mobile/mediatek-benchmark-cheating-2...).
If you have more available capital than your co-founder, can you put enough financial pressure on them (e.g. ask someone to collect their credits and loans) and/or on the company (e.g. seek out investments and expense opportunities to spend money on urgently) to buy them out in a few weeks or months?
Business Users Need Not Fear Predictive Analytics
Does it have an expose style feature? I started using Gnome a few years ago almost by accident, and since then I can never go back to a window list. As Gnome started pissing me off (it is very unstable, in a version-to-version change way, not in a crash way) I discovered that I am too addicted to it and couldn't find expose style elsewhere.
Are you sure the frequency is the problem? I’m living in an environment with lots of radio polution in a four story building built from concrete and rebar. I have 802.11ac wifi and I get at least 300Mbps in the worst place in my apartment.

Other argument might be FPV video. There are quite a few youtube videos comparing analog video streams over 1.3 to 5.8 GHz. The difference is there but much less than I expected.
Mine is RAIDZ too, and has become unusably slow since a few years back. Now I need to find a way to recreate the pool, but it's too much data to store on another disk... Not in love with ZFS so far.
Similar story here, except I have 551 attempts in the last 72 hours alone. Mostly Singapore and China.
I don't know where India's rocket program is up to, but I imagine that if it is behind China and America they will be catching up at a ahem rocketing pace.

Bizarrely this used to work on Slack, but they removed the feature as part of a fix for some other unspecified notification bug. It’s remained broken since.

I assume "We"=Nim?

It's an interesting pattern to test language designs with. On the one hand expressive macros can be disastrous in big codebases, on the other hand a more "monadic" (implemented via passing some kind of object through a chain rather than algebraically) way is very template-intensive.

But if we overdesign our writing, it becomes extremely hard to read as this one.
I'm not saying this to be ironic on purpose, but the design of this website makes it very hard for me to read.

- Oversized font which means I can't skim the article

- Sliding columns for seemingly no reason other than to confuse the reader (Also makes it impossible to skim the article)

- Really unintuitive navigation system (Click on a part of the paragraph) that I didn't find until I randomly hovered my mouse over it

I didn't read the article, the design and layout actively put me off, which is kind of a shame because I think the topic is interesting.
I'm not convinced if Gates actually cares about the world. I find his transformation from one of the disliked CEOs of most despised companies into some sort of high tech messiah hard to believe. The phrase "Embrace, Extend, Extinguish" was coined in Microsoft when he was the CEO. Google bombing was invented to redirect to Microsoft homepage when searching "more evil than satan himself". Those are facts that confirm the sentiment I remember.

In my opinion, his philanthropy work is just another playground. Power is addictive and now he has way to exercise power over world outside the tech industry. Quick Google search shows he spent 45B$ on his foundation... and another search shows his net worth is still 119B$. This is still more money that I can imagine, even if he spent 99.9% of it he would still be richer than I can ever hope for. And honestly, his personal brand is so strong that even after zeroing on his account balance he could become multimillionaire in no time.

Maybe I'm overly cynical. Maybe my memory fails me and I'm mistaken about how bad reputation he and his company had back in the day. But it's hard for me to buy this 180 degree turn from ruthless CEO into great philanthropist. Now, I'm not saying his antichrist and he planned the pandemic 20 years ahead; I just would appreciate some healthy skepticism.
Obligatory question: What applications does Stan have? I'm aware of Facebook's Prophet model for time series prediction, but what about others?

I find there's a lot of excitement around Bayesian inference and MCMC, but I do wonder about the substance.
Its not like all information is equal. They still (need to) do heavy filtering and emphasize certain aspects. So there is plenty of room to (even unconsciously) implement biases. In the end most of it ends up being biased to handing ever more power to the state, as thats precisely how they are funded. Just follow the money

> LiveView is just channels under the hood. Once you consider that, long polling may seem more obvious

It's not obvious to me for user invoked page transitions because when I think of long polling, I think of an automated time based mechanism that's responsible for making the request, not the user. But a page transition is invoked by the user at an undetermined amount of time / interval (it might happen 2 seconds after they load the page or 10 minutes).
Why Embracing Your Demons Is the Only Way to Overpower Writer’s Agony
As somebody who follows Starship development closely (side note, I recommend the YouTube channels "Marcus House" and "What about it!?"), I don't share your confidence that India (or China) will be able to catchup to SpaceX anytime soon.

I don't think that Blue Origin or Rocket Lab will be able to catchup either. Let alone United Launch Alliance. I think Rocket Lab will keep a very comfortable profitable niche for a long time though.

The Falcon 9 has really cornered the market for commercial payloads and it's not profitable to compete. And the Starship will cement that place further. Maybe Amazon's Project Kuiper and Jeff Bezos' investment in Blue Origin might make Blue Origin competitive in the long run, but given their current track record I doubt it will happen soon enough to make a difference.

I'm sure that they'll be enough military payloads to keep the Ariane/ULA/CASC/ISROs occupied for decades to come. But short of unprecedented industrial espionage, in the next 10 years they'll all going to struggle to develop re-usable rockets that can keep pace with SpaceX.
"The M1 is essentially a superset, if you want to think of it relative to A14. Because as we set out to build a Mac chip, there were many differences from what we otherwise would have had in a corresponding, say, A14X or something.
We had done lots of analysis of Mac application workloads, the kinds of graphic/GPU capabilities that were required to run a typical Mac workload, the kinds of texture formats that were required, support for different kinds of GPU compute and things that were available on the Mac… just even the number of cores, the ability to drive Mac-sized displays, support for virtualization and Thunderbolt.
There are many, many capabilities we engineered into M1 that were requirements for the Mac, but those are all superset capabilities relative to what an app that was compiled for the iPhone would expect."
