I have a personal TeamSpeak server for my friend group since forever. I don't know if it's nostalgia, or I'm just old (31) but I can't imagine replacing it ever. Initially for gaming sessions, it became a place to hangout when you're on the computer, whatever you are doing.

It's light weight, usable on my phone, self-hosted, no emoji-fiesta, can send the one-off chat message that I NEVER need history of. It just works and it's OURS. Once in a while when it's down all of my friends panic.

I always thought there was a missing consumer app for my use case. There was/is Houseparty but I thought that video is too much. Clubhouse seems like it's doing something right but still not on point re. dropping in to a "familiar" place and hanging.

Discord on the other hand just feels so alienating to me.
Well, like you say, that's your opinion. And history has a dim view of your opinion. I am not being facetious about protecting people from violence; unions came about in the USA partially because of the Coal Wars [0], an armed conflict between employers and employees.

Gardening clubs are clearly not political pressure groups. I recommend that you do some reading on the history of unions in the USA; it is written in blood.

Assuming Intel is sticking to Specint2017 for that claim, the M1's lead isn't that big: https://www.anandtech.com/show/16252/mac-mini-apple-m1-teste...

So per that the M1 is 8% faster in single-core than the 28W i7-1185G7 (side note: Intel fix your naming yeesh). It would not at all be surprising if Intel claws that back, that's well within "typical" generational IPC gains.
Completely makes sense! Good stuff

An interesting excerpt from the article:

"ExaGear does not follow TSO completely by default, using heuristics instead." TSO emulation can be enabled fully, using heuristics, or turned off using a configuration option. It would be interesting to see benchmarks that analyze the performance (and correctness) impact of full TSO emulation vs. heuristics.

Another interesting bit that is mentioned is that like Apple's M1, NVidia's Tegra K1 64-bit and Tegra Xavier support sequential consistency as the memory model.

There are some convincing arguments made by data scientists examining time-series data. Most of the results are suppressed from Google, if you try searching "Lynda McLaughlin from the Data Integrity Group" you can find more info using Yandex or Bing.

> According to their analysis, which was published online as early as Dec. 24, time-series election data shows Trump’s votes were decrementing in various counties instead of increasing as they do normally.

> At least 30,593 votes were allegedly removed from Trump as result, including 17,650 votes in Dougherty County, 7,008 votes in Dodge County, and 5,935 votes in Putnam County.

This is by simple analysis of time-series data that was posted to public sources like the New York Times. There was an open-source repository on Github with the analysis, but it has since been removed. I regret not downloading a copy.

> While the law does grant individual workers the power to strike, the legal protections are weak enough that it's not really practical even if you trust your employer to respect them.

As a counterpoint, tens of thousands of Googlers staged a worldwide walkout two years ago. They were not unionized. They were protected by the same law that protects unionized workers when striking. When Google retaliated against four of those 20,000+ people, the NLRB launched a federal investigation, the same way the NLRB would if they had been unionized.

> Unless you're striking against a specific unfair labor practice, your employer has the right to simply replace you, and reinstate you only when a new job opening is available.

That's not quite true. If it happened exactly as you describe, that would be a pretty clear-cut wrongful termination lawsuit, and the NLRB would come down pretty hard on the employer.
You're out on a bit of a shaky limb here. There's clear precedent in contract law for damages when money is changing hands. But non-compensated access to data? I'm doubtful. Do you have any established case law in this vein you can point to?
Because there's no union who represents Google, Apple, etc. employees as a single cohesive block, there couldn't have been a union holding folks accountable. You're implying that the courts were successful, but only after Googlers had an employee revolt (read: a non-union-organized strike!) against being taken to forced arbitration.
Hi, hackers! I'm looking for a technical co-founder -- head of DevOps, so to speak. Please see here for details: https://thehub.io/jobs/5eff42a5a2c1052946f9f702.

Because Telegram is not really an equivalent alternative for secure messaging.

Telegram is much better for “chat room” type capabilities, because that’s not what Signal does. Telegram, Discord, Matrix, Slack all have more robust large group features, but none of them are secure and private by default and none of them hide your social graph.
you're confusing groups and events to lay out a conflated narrative filled with pointed, fearful language. the protesters who occupied the capitol were relatively powerless. those are the people we, as other relatively powerless people, should not fear. the politicians (and lawyers and media) whipping up fear and frenzy based on that situation should be viewed very skeptically. those protesters had no power to overthrow our government, in this or any other conceivable action (because of the foresight of our founders as enshrined and amended in our constitution).

politicians, however, are in such a position, though even that is a relatively remote possibility. luckily trump had no chance of retaining the presidency, by force or otherwise, mostly because he's too self-absorbed, and frankly stupid, to effectively consolidate power like xi jinping or putin did.

The lack of standing was only a single component, Judges did see what "evidence" the suits had they found it uncompelling in addition to lack of standing. Below is the ruling from one of the Arizona cases:

"The judge ruled that the plaintiffs lacked legal standing; their fraud allegations were vague and implausible, and their evidence was unreliable or irrelevant."

They are missing features that low end consumer grade hardware have, and I'll say what I was implying: It's because it's a vendor lock-in strategy, and they want you to replace ALL your equipment with theirs. Explain to me why I shouldn't be able to manage a list of DHCP clients in a piece of "enterprise grade" hardware.
Here are some relevant bits:
--

“Republicans are constantly fighting like a boxer with his hands tied behind his back. It’s like a boxer. And we want to be so nice. We want to be so respectful of everybody, including bad people. And we’re going to have to fight much harder. …

“We’re going to walk down to the Capitol, and we’re going to cheer on our brave senators and congressmen and women, and we’re probably not going to be cheering so much for some of them, because you’ll never take back our country with weakness. You have to show strength, and you have to be strong.”

“I hope Mike is going to do the right thing. I hope so. I hope so, because if Mike Pence does the right thing, we win the election. … And I actually — I just spoke to Mike. I said: ‘Mike, that doesn’t take courage. What takes courage is to do nothing. That takes courage.’”

“I also want to thank our 13 most courageous members of the U.S. Senate, Senator Ted Cruz, Senator Ron Johnson, Senator Josh Hawley. … Senators have stepped up. We want to thank them. I actually think, though, it takes, again, more courage not to step up, and I think a lot of those people are going to find that out. And you better start looking at your leadership, because your leadership has led you down the tubes.”

“We will never give up. We will never concede. It doesn’t happen. You don’t concede when there’s theft involved. Our country has had enough. We will not take it anymore, and that is what this is all about. And to use a favorite term that all of you people really came up with, we will stop the steal. …

“You will have an illegitimate president. That is what you will have, and we can’t let that happen. These are the facts that you won’t hear from the fake news media. It’s all part of the suppression effort. They don’t want to talk about it. They don’t want to talk about it. …

“We fight like hell, and if you don’t fight like hell, you’re not going to have a country anymore.”

---

This is incitement, pure and simple. I mean, look at this shit:

"We will never give up. We will never concede."

"You will have an illegitimate president... and we can't let that happen."

"...if you don't fight like hell, you're not going to have a country anymore."

What else do you need? Are you looking for instances where Trump told the crowd to attack and breach the Capitol before you're convinced that he's guilty?

Agree! As an interesting counterexample to the trend, see video conferencing platforms over the past year: despite contact lists, calendar integration, cross platform whatever and decades of brand recognition, it wasn't Meet and Skype that got all the initial mindshare around pandemic WFH video calling— it was relative newcomer Zoom, whose killer feature was that you could just click a link and be in the meeting.

On the other hand, once Meet finally ripped off that feature, I basically switched to using it all the time. So maybe Zoom's ease-of-entry was an initial winner, but ultimately there was nothing keeping me there when Google offered the same but without the freemium time limits. Perhaps there is a parallel here with a service like Mumble?
Copper links in the form of ethernet 10g base t or copper links as direct attach sfp+ cables? 10g base t ethernet uses quite a bit more power, so those switches are usually always loud. Also, 10g base t tranceivers when used long term can actually damage sfp+ switches and cost wise they make absolutely zero sense.

To be frank, in the long run if you plan to make any changes to your setup, buying transceivers from FS.com and fiber cables (even armored fiber) for that matter is about the same price as copper direct attach cables. Also much easier to cable manage and they can be used with cable lengths from 0.2m to 400m in most cases.

I currently use a Cisco Nexus 3064 - https://www.ebay.com/p/219487215

It's kind of loud but I keep my hardware in a closet and to be honest, enterprise hardware like this makes heat and needs fans for a good reason haha.

Vimwiki. I keep a daily diary of what I'm doing, when I'm doing it. I use checklists to both note my next tasks and keep a record of what I did. At the top of every day, I copy over everything from the previous day, and remove the top level completed tasks.

My working memory is essentially non-existant, so this is necessary every day.
I am not aware of any that does. With modern hardware, and in a personal finance context (a few transactions per day), it is unlikely you will have too much data to handle. The algorithm to compute a balance is O(n) with the number of transactions, or O(nlogn) if the tool allows for unsorted input.

If required, you could always close a balance in one file and start with new accounts in a new file, sharding your journal by year, for example.
The author uses the word "united" liberally, implying there was some kind of collusion between Amazon, Apple and Google. I would imagine it was quite the opposite, they each would have independently banned/limited Parler regardless of what the other company did. Parler also doesn't compete with any of those companies. It competes with Facebook and Twitter. So where's the anti-competitive conduct?

It's still not any kind of "inflection point". The difference between 0 and 5% is an even sharper slope-- from infinity to 1200% of the population ;)

Also-- all we know about is effects on symptomatic illness and we can't be sure there's any large transmission benefit (and if there is, it's probably smaller than the efficacy against symptomatic illness).

If the virus is still circulating in volume, the difference between a 95% effective vaccine and a 70% vaccine is a further 6x reduction in risk for the individuals that have it. Every little bit helps, but a really high efficacy is very nice to have.
The free market argument is that it isn't tyranny of the mob. It's tyranny of the market. The companies are responding to market forces, which implies that so many people are concerned that it's actually a democratic push of people voting with their wallets.

America has always had a somewhat deep seated affinity towards authoritarianism and fascism. People might forget this but various right wing leaders in Europe had large followings in the US right up until WW2. It took a huge war and government intervention to change trajectory. Similarly Hoover's FBI and the federal agencies at that time, or Nixon's whitehouse, trended towards these ideas.

Social media might be a part, but it always feels like this is a longer historical trend. For as much as some Americans talk about freedom and liberty, it's not clear how much they support true freedom.
There is nothing new nor particularly insightful about this article. It's the same tired self-inflated story about how Trump supporters are idiots and if only we could somehow educate them how our POV is right, this would all go away.

If anyone was truly interested in resolving this conflict the talk would be about how to reach consensus and peace between the extremes. But no, it's this constant self-congratulatory stream of "news" and opinion pieces as if they've invented something completely novel.

Notice I said the extremes. The radical postmodernists are just dangerous as gun-yielding rednecks.
> With concentration of power a private company nearly acts like a utility.

I agree this is a problem. I believe the more rational way to solve it is to break the monopoly, i.e. using antitrust powers more aggressively and letting the market decide, rather than having some committee decide what's kosher.

Holy cow please no. I'm willing to believe you have the best of intentions, but anything elected would 100% become a stupid political game from day one.
And even if it didn't, popular votes on issues that potentially impact individual rights are a terrible idea: if 51% of the public votes $VERY_BAD_THING, do we have to go along with it? We enshrine fundamental rights in constitutions precisely because we don't want them to be endangered by the current political wind.

The problem is that at the start of a major release cycle (Qt 6) the new one is not very viable, but means the old one (5.15.x) isn't the latest anymore. So anyone who can't use 6 but relies on the open-source version now isn't getting patches.

Qt company would like to pretend that is forever (and thus doesn't mention it), but actually the community contract (which exists to prevent Qt company from ever keeping parts of core Qt closed) forces them to release the patches after one year, because withholding any patches to core Qt for more than a year triggers a safeguard clause in that contract that forces relicensing of Qt.

FWIW, your tone does not feel appropriate, especially when you suggest "conspiracy theories".

Thought experiment: how much of the population do you think you need to immunize with a 0.1% effective vaccine to stop the virus from circulating?

I find it's helpful, when I see something counterintuitive to me in math, to consider the extreme cases. Obviously a 0.1% effective vaccine won't be able to attain herd immunity. Within a set of simplified assumptions, you need to stop 60% of the transmission to get fewer infected each generation from a R0=2.5 disease, and vaccines with less than 60% efficacy against transmission cannot stop 60% of the transmission themselves (though they certainly would still help).
