I will say, I've been regularly taking Vitamin D for a while and recently started having some low back pain. Talked to the doctor and was told to take some magnesium. Apparently it is used along with Vitamin D. So if you find yourself in my situation, talk to your doctor.
Can you clarify? I've never met "consequence free speech" as a term. If you mean that there are real consequences from his free speech, I'd agree, but I'm not sure what do you mean with it.
For storage engines that prioritize performance and scalability, mmap() is a poor choice. Not only is it slower and less scalable than alternatives but it also has many more edge cases and behaviors you have to consider. Compared to a good O_DIRECT/io_submit storage engine design, which is a common alternative, it isn't particularly close. And now we have io_uring as an alternative too.

If your use case is quick-and-dirty happy path code then mmap() works fine. In more complex and rigorous environments, like database engines, mmap() is not well-behaved.
Well if the FED and the ECB weren't printing tens of thousands of millions of fake money every month and calling it Quantitative Easing I might have agreed maybe. Truth is government issued money is worth less and less over time, as the scheme is designed to create inflation and thus make government debt sustainable by robbing everyone else's savings year by year.
Isn't the whole point of mmap to randomly access the data needed in memory? Did they think memcpy is a totally free operation or something, without any side effects?

> Problem with this is that facial recognition is not perfect.

Why is that a problem? Are there any investigative tools that are perfect or is there a reason why facial recognition should be held to a higher standard?

> It's no better than fnger printing which often leads to unjust arrests.

You need to be more specific. Why is it no better? Has facial recognition been demonstrated to lead to more unjust arrests than other investigative methods?

> There is no replacement for detective work and the government shouldn't be lazy to exclude it.

Who's saying that facial recognition is a replacement for detective work? It's just another investigative method, like looking up a license plate or asking people at the crime scene what they saw.

> The best it can do is narrow down suspects.

It can also help find suspects when you don't have any other leads. Why isn't that good enough?
> Problem with this is that facial recognition is not perfect

I don't think it is the case. Facial recognition can drastically speed up the process of nailing down suspects, accompanying with other information sources.

I don't really see facial recognition as the sole reason to be worried here. Information collection and sharing is already ubiquitous, that is what leads to all these.
In both cases they are working to replace the existing department with a new department with a large contingent of peace officers-- to tear down what's there and replace it with something new.
Linux allocates page tables lazily, and fills them lazily. The only upfront work is to mark the virtual address range as valid and associated with the file. I'd expect mapping giant files to be fast enough to not need windowing.
On a scale this large, with so many people performing moderation and guidelines to follow, it most likely just leads to deplatforming the ones that are an unreasonable threat to the comfort of most users and businesses.
Makes sense. Lazada also has it's own set of problems for being a marketplace.

Majority of sellers on Lazada were just dropshipping from Chinese wholesalers. There is great profit incentive/arbitrage because where Lazada is popular - there is great barriers of entry. South East Asia.

High Tariffs.
High Customs/Customs issues.
Physical customs inspection.
High shipping times.

Then the last mile of fulfillment is the issue because of the consumer base being very spread out and not in city centers in South East Asia - bike courier is still most common way of delivery. Postal Mail does not work/will not deliver.

Then there's of course shrink/fraud.

It's fun conversation, it reminded me of ebay circa 2000's. Great time to make a name for yourself.
Could you explain how cmake stuff isn't portable or broken between different flavors of Unix? I comfortably maintain CMake builds that work on linux (with centos, ubuntu and arch), macos and windows without much trouble.

If you mean cmake versions, I'm not sure what you expect, should cmake just freeze in time and stop adding features so someone gets to use cmake from 5 years ago?

Also, the bit about autotools on windows is silly. If it can't build native windows stuff, it's not at all viable for windows.

I also dislike cmake (particularly dependency management) and wish for something better, but I think our criticisms should be well-founded.

It doesn’t need to be perfect though. People facial recognition isn’t perfect either. When they post some mugshot and ask the public for tips I’m sure some tips come in for people who look like the suspect but aren’t. Proper police work should be able to rule out the false positives quickly.

The problem only happens if law enforcement believes that the matches are somehow infallible and refuse to look for or believe in other evidence that would rule out a suspect.

I'm not sure what your point is right now. Sure, it's "disruptive technology", that doesn't mean it can be used to store value into the future.

Not an expert, but my understanding is that tempered safety glass (which the rear/side windows are made of, vs laminated like windshields) is under a lot of internal pressure/strain. And that that's one of the reasons that when it goes, it really goes.
That seems the other way around. In that case, the context made it clear that what could be notionally defended as an expression of frustration was in fact a call to act.

In this case, out of context, "let's have trial by combat" seems worse than when placed in the context that marks it as clearly metaphorical - he had just explained what he meant by it.

It's absolutely heated rhetoric, and one example of many - on the part of Giuliani, Trump, and others - that together built a context that led to violence.

It is absolutely appropriate to blame them for that.

That doesn't make labeling it a call for "trial by combat" a good representation of what happened in that moment.

You should recommend the payoff order based on their interest rates. Also, for completeness as a financial tool, they should be able to plug in savings like retirement savings. A student loan of 8% sounds bad and some people think they should pay it off above all else, but really a 401k where the employer matches 50% of the first 6% you contribute should be the primary focus for the person, since the 50% return is sooo much higher than the 8% interest rate.

I've never heard of the kind of issues people have with Teslas before, two of my bosses had Model X's that needed extensive repairs after delivery because mostly everything was misaligned.

For parsing ISC Bind9 DNS (named.conf) configuration file in Python3, I have built using PyParsing for this. It is 99% code completed. MIT license. Designed for Bind9 version 9.0 to 9.17.2.

Three issues left.

Solid unit-testing coverage, moderate-system testing.

Probably the largest PyParsing to date.

An intermediate stage of offset printing is aluminium plates (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Offset_printing#Materials). They would survive a long time in conditions that would destroy paper. If after the zombie apocalypse people used them to build shelters, that wouldn't necessarily make them illegible, whereas paper books might be used as fuel.
It is interesting that the author here has to describe what emotional effect Schubert might have intended with his use of keys; when writers today do this, to me it suggests that contemporary readers might not hear this angst themselves. Not only did later Romanticism and Debussy stretch tonality to a point where listeners became more comfortable with hitherto dissonant keys, and so they do not hear things the way Schubert’s listeners would have, but modern pop music is very constrained in its use of modulation so society has lost much of the grammar of Baroque, Classical and Romantic music.
While I've not had that problem, I can see that it's nonobvious. But it's years between me looking at the actual compiled output. I look at assembly output more often, and most people never even do that.

What I mean though is that ./configure outputs a config.log that says exactly what was done. Exactly what command line was run and exactly what the error was.

I guess I'm confused why you're even looking at the compiled scripts. Would you not look at logfiles and stderr output before you start looking at assembly?

CMake doesn't. The logs are completely useless, even when I get a CMake expert to come and agree, yes that's useless.

With autotools you can see that it failed to build because it couldn't find library foo when building with "gcc blah blah blah", and you go "well yeah, you need -L/opt/foo/lib", so you just add that. (or pkg-config equiv).

CMake, on the other hand, seems to force you to look at CMake "source code" (CMakeLists.txt), which is a horrible mess. I'm not saying autotools isn't (yay, m4 :-( ), but the point is you don't have to, because it actually logs what it does.

So this is one of the many many reasons CMake sucks.
Compared to never been there, it's particularly painful because it's a regression from a fairly just, rather first-world system. As a HKese I had the luxury to spend time on little things that make me happy in my teenage just like all teenagers do. It breaks my heart seeing youngsters standing on the front line shredding blood and tears, for things I took for granted. I really worry about the mental health of this generation.

Although it wasn't too obvious. As you might already know there's movie called Ten Years made in 2015, imagining 2025 HK after CCP erosion on culture, human rights and rule of law. 2017 me thought[0] it was an "exaggeration". Now it's just been upgraded to one of the most prophetic movies.

Are you not just moving the goalposts? The original article was "took the world by storm", not "took the FP world by storm". As part of the wider programming world FP languages are a tiny minority, regardless of how many impressive companies we rattle off. JS and Python absolutely rule the roost at the moment.
> Saying, “Too bad, you’re dumb and wrong”

Not sure anyone said that. Judges reviewed court cases, and failing to find legitimate cases, dismissed them. That's not saying "you're dumb and wrong." That's saying - you do not have a case because you don't have evidence.

> a robust investigation

It sounds like each side defines a "robust investigation" differently. Given that judges from both major political parties dismissed nearly every court filing, and there is still no tangible evidence of widespread election fraud, when do we stop "investigating?"

The problem with theories made without evidence is that there is no way to "disprove" them because they are not falsifiable statements[0].

In this case, the request seems to be to have everyone who wants to believe whether or not there was widespread election fraud would need to review 160 million votes with their own eyes, rather than believe the bipartisan election officials as well as the bipartisan judges that reviewed the court filings. That's an unreasonable bar to cross.

"Keep the Aspidistra Flying" is very funny. It's been made into a movie twice. The 1965 one is closer to the original.

It used to be available on line, but with the copyright crackdown, films only of historical interest, with near zero revenue potential, are no longer available.

"Orwell, the Lost Writings" is quite useful. It makes it clear where Orwell got many of the ideas for "1984". During WWII, he worked for the British Ministry of Information. Part of his job was translating news reports into the Basic English 1000 word vocabulary, for transmission on the BBC to the colonies. Mostly India. He discovered that translation to Basic English is a political act. Basic English cannot express much ambiguity. So ambiguous political statements had to be hammered down into simple unambiguous statements.

Hence Newspeak and the Ministry of Truth.

I think of CMake as a coin with two faces: on one side is a cool engine that manages dependencies and can somehow wrangle Make/xcodebuild/ninja et al. On the other side is a dreadful interface (presumably due to legacy constraints) that you have to gingerly manipulate in the hope that it will cause the proper state changes on the other side so that it can generate the result you want...when I don't actually know what the internals of say Xcodebuild are.

It's sort of like using Italian to correspond with someone when you know Latin but not Italian.

If the code base really looks like that it might be interesting to implement a different front end. Even XML would be better.

On the other hand I couldn't imagine working without it and would be happy if it supported more languages (I only use it with C and C++).
Comparing cancel culture to China's social credit system is ... not a great choice, in my opinion.

Regardless, I've had this theory about cancel culture. I don't necessarily agree with cancel culture, for the aforementioned problem of it being mob social justice. But it seems to me like it has arisen out of a failure by the real justice system. Issues like sexism in particular, which affect half of the population, have been ignored and marginalized. It took how long for Bill Cosby's heinous crimes to finally be prosecuted? More over, how likely would it have been for his crimes to yet again have been swept under the rug had cancel culture not fostered an environment where the victims felt comfortable coming forward?

The very topic we're discussing, the terrorist attack on our Capitol, is another example of racist failures of our police force.

So is it really any surprise that society has collectively taken matters into their owns hands?

Again, I don't _agree_ with the idea that society at large should pass their own judgements. I'd rather the courts do that. But they haven't been. And aren't. And we just suffered through one of the worst years on record of blatant police abuse and court inaction.

If we want to get rid of cancel culture I think we need to fix our policing and justice system to the extent that society feels they don't need to take up the mantel of justice themselves.

In other words, I don't see value in deriding cancel culture. If one feels that cancel culture is wrong, my belief is that one should be calling for action to repair the _cause_ of cancel culture, not the symptoms. And that cause is a prejudiced justice system.
In theory yes, but in practice you'll most likely to face the following issue: in space, people often are specialists. So what if the mechanic goes bananas, kills someone and then it turns out he is the only one with some in-depth knowledge of the engines and letting him out may be even more risky than keeping on board.
I built Running Level https://runninglevel.com/ recently along the same lines as my other site Strength Level https://strengthlevel.com/ but have only done a soft launch. Gyms are closed here in the UK so a lot of us are out running instead.

Running Level has running standards for your age/gender over many distances like 10k/marathon/mile. The calculator on the homepage helps you rate your running performance against other people your age/gender, predicts race performance and recommends some training times.

Recent notes are all about HEIF (~= iOS HEIC). It seems alarming to me that so many devices (Canon and iPhone at least) are putting out patent-encumbered HEIF/HEIC files while the available decoders are so incredibly slow.

Last I looked, libHEIF is >50x slower than the built-in iOS decoders, which makes the format hundreds of times slower to decode than JPEG. With JPEG, the differences between free decoders and the "best" ones has been 2-3x in speed, but 50x slower is a huge cost that makes these formats unworkable for a whole lot of things, like most webservers.

Does anyone know if things are getting better here?

As an example, here are some 2019 benchmarks of Apple's HEIC decoder vs. libHEIF:

2 years ago I created a guitar chords website to solve a problem I have with finding songs to play on my guitar/ukulele. You can login with your Spotify account and get some suggestions based on your listening history, and also import Spotify playlists.

I wanted to create a website that is lightweight, more accessible and less invasive for the user. Existing chords/tabs websites can be a real pain to use. The design and the UX of my app is a bit clunky, but it's fast and works and without JS. I have not really touched it since but I kept it online because some people use it (including me). I'm getting around 5-10k unique visitors per months, I think mostly from google searches.

I also worked on a feature that generates printable songbooks that people can order but I am concerned about copyright and legal issues, any comment on that would be welcome. I've implemented it already but activated just for me, and I ordered a few books already... (all the pdf generation, payment and shipping workflow works).

I'd love to get some design help or some fresh ideas for the project.
