> The mere accusation of being an infidel is enough to taint the perception of the person in question.

Not that we need more reminders of this fact, but here's another recent one that everyone should read: Alex Morse committed the mortal sin of trying to unseat an incumbent Democrat in Massachusetts. The Democratic party used false accusations of inappropriate sexual behavior to successfully smear him and destroy his campaign. Even after their "investigation" turned up nothing they still continued to attack him: https://theintercept.com/2021/01/18/alex-morse-umass-amherst...
For me it was team sports or group hobbies, in non-pandemic times, anyway. Search for something that interests you and see if groups in the area exist for it. You always at least have the focus of the group in common with everyone there, and through which you make friends, and meet their friends, and create a new (real) social network.

And if the group's not for you, you can just stop going and find a different one. That's a lot harder to do with something like graduate school (speaking from experience).

Hey! Finally a legal reason not to have massive centralization! OK my enthusiasm is exaggerated.
That glitch result should only apply to the --fb variant. Using a disconnected output is not "emulating" anything, it's just overriding what's automatically detected and will not result in glitches. With intel GPUs, you can also add virtual outputs by fiddling with xorg.conf and use those, in case there are no spare outputs.

This "good faith" issue is written into many contracts, and a lot of rules just collapse without a basis in shared principle. What I see is a kind of moral legalism, where people essentially litigate their positions to greater and greater powers as a means to wield their dominion, and this is the very essence of faithlessness.

Whether it is a constitutional appeal to freedom of speech, or political "ratfucking," by people who hide behind societal penalties for any violence, the spirit of mendacity and sadistic antagonism is the same. That good faith principle is the only thing that enables societies to be governed with consent instead of just ruled over as interchangeable subjects.

When we dispense with principles and their honourable spirit, we dispense with the only meaningful thing separating people from animals.

Maybe it was just an experiment with viral marketing, estimating a 1%-10% chance it would make it into programmer social media circles and make them hungry for KFC instead of pizza or avocado toast.

If you're running untrusted code in your container, you've pretty much already lost.

Containers are useful for deployment and configuration, they are not a robustly secure sandbox. For that you still need to go with a VM.

No cloud provider will offer to run your containers alongside other customer's containers, on a shared kernel. Your containers always run within your own VM.
Yes, that doesn't mean we have to respect all opinions equally. The lies about election fraud should not be tolerated even if some people are foolish enough to entertain them.
Yeah, for some reason, I assumed that military equipment mostly used, like, low performance but reliable stuff. In-order processors, real time operating systems, EM-hardening. Probably made by some company like Texas Instruments, who will happily keep selling you the same chip for 30 years.
Yes, I understand that and I've given some of the reasons why.

Another reason is that the alternative of syncing your device with a computer doesn't work with most of the population. They either aren't familiar with tech enough or they don't own a computer. The rest get annoyed with the lack of convenience vs automatically uploading everything via your phone's bluetooth

The closest I can think of is the Hemingwrite typewriter which has an e-ink display and is portable in some sense. At $342, I hope it's more than a toy.

But that's really a typewriter. Which is somehow good if you just want text, not code. And here's the problem: these things belong to consumer segments so narrow that I don't see them getting the attention I'd like.

I strongly disagree with your assessment that, without Western funding for the rebels the government forces would have resumed control within a couple years, for a variety of reasons. The rebels made significant territorial gains before Western involvement, and the large number of factions that emerged is a solid demonstration that Assad was unable to control the population. The usage of artillery, air strikes, and chemical attacks on civilian targets greatly strengthened the resolve of the rebels. Repeatedly refusing to take actions to improve the humanitarian situation, along with draconian treatment of rebels and suspected rebels, ensured that the population would not yield to government forces without a long and protracted fight.

It should be noted the large degree of foreign involvement in this war. You've got Hezbollah and Iranian-backed militia groups working alongside the Syria government forces. Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar provided bases, training, and equipment to the free Syrian army. Turkey has even mounted offensives into northeast Syria. There's Kurdish forces, some funded by Kurdish nationalist elements. There's jihadist groups such as the al Nusra front and ISIL which took advantage of the power vacuum to grow in power and influence. Foreign fighters from throughout the middle east (and throughout the world) flocked to the region to join various factions. Russia has deployed troops to assist the Syrian government and is regularly striking Syrian opposition targets. And, of course, funding and training from several Western nations. None of the above was at the behest of the US, these are actions taken by different countries and groups in service of their own foreign policy goals and ideologies. It seems odd to place the blame squarely at the feet of the US when so many competing interests were involved, especially when others intervened significantly more.

And things changed significantly with the emergence of ISIL, their invasion of Iraq, and numerous terrorist attacks around the world. The US was absolutely correct in providing support to Iraq and building a coalition to stop their territorial gains and mount a counter offensive. I think expecting the US to remain neutral in such a conflict is unreasonable. It was necessary to push them back into Syria, and to take steps to make sure they could not regain ground in western Syria. And while the Syrian and Russian governments might complain about this, the fact is that the region is far outside of their area of control.

I think that blaming everything on the US belittles the decisions and actions or local groups, and groups around the world.

If you're a publicly traded company, and the stock price jumps like this; how long does it take to sell more shares and try to capture some of the craziness?

Hertz was able to sell $29 million of stock during bankruptcy before the SEC asked them to stop. As Gamestop isn't bankrupt, it seems like fair game to make an offering while the price is high.

Thankfully I am not yet required to sign on to github using 2FA that can only be confirmed on a Zune. Microsoft has been pretty good at leveraging github for the publicity of supporting developers (hosting informational streams and the like) while leaving the platform pretty independent.

I wouldn't be surprised if Microsoft viewed Github like McDonalds views the Ronald McDonald House - a long term PR investment that's well worth the marginal cost.
I got so burnt out between March and September that I resigned from my then job and I’m still struggling with lingering burnout enough that I still have not been able to begin looking for a new job. Unfortunately I’m eating into savings enough that I really need to start looking soon, even though I don’t feel entirely ready.

For me I don’t think it’s necessarily that WFH was the primary factor. I’ve worked remote most of my career. But I do think everyone being remote had a big impact, as it made communication more challenging for team members and management who don’t usually prefer remote. This heightened stress for all involved, and drove increased pressure to overwork.

That said, a few months off has definitely helped. If you can afford to take some time off, I highly recommend it.
I've thought about Austin and other places, if I'm honest. It's a huge change as it would require new friends and, harder, a new job. It's on my mind.

> Semiconductors helps keep Taiwan from China's encroachment because it buys them protection from allies like the US and Europe, whose economies heavily rely on them.

FWIW the title is probably the best part of this story. I watched the video clips and it just seems no different from any other cheesy soap opera.
I think the point they're going after is that algorithmic trading behavior can be meaningfully sensitive to rounding errors (which seems plausible if you profit by amplifying tiny signals), so in the context of a simulation you might still have components like Black Scholes, but for the trades themselves (even simulated) you need to take more care or risk an excessive error.

In other words, they're describing a scenario where 1 in 10^14 error is potentially not tolerable because of some amplified discrete behavior.
The 80286 was a pretty weird CPU. I don't think Intel anticipated that it would be primarily used for faster IBM PC compatibles.

Wikipedia seems to confirm this:

"Intel did not expect personal computers to use the 286. The CPU was designed for multi-user systems with multitasking applications, including communications (such as automated PBXs) and real-time process control."

> The worst thing a corporation can do is stop giving you money

In a late capitalist society a worker has no other means of survival other than to work for a corporation. In 1820, yes you could just go live on a farm and provide for you self but being cut off from a mean of living is not a small thing.

It idea that you can "just" be denied a means of living, and that this is no big deal is pretty laughable. You are quite literally paraphrasing Scrooges infamous speech about poorhouses.
The images were all generated in advnace and are served statically, so it's not done in real-time. It would be theoretically possible, but just a lot more work and money.

aye - it ultimately was my misreading of the commit history. Agree that this wasn't a rust specific change.
Babel has been the "tool of the day" for 5+ years. Node/npm for closer to 10 years. And if you version-lock your dependencies - advisable for anything you're handing off to someone else - the same config + dependency version isn't going to suddenly break for no reason down the line. It's an unfounded trope that things are otherwise.

We're obviously remembering different NES games.

The NES games I remember could generally be beaten in no more than an hour, if you knew how to actually do it without dying 1000 times.

A good warpless speedrun time on Super Mario Brothers is about 19 minutes.

If warps are allowed, it's under 5.

Legend of Zelda? 27 minutes

Ninja Gaiden? 12 minutes

I don't know much about anime, but why are so many anime women depicted in an overly sexualised manner? Didn't we want to leave this kind of sexism behind as a society? It's like watching a sexist ad from the 1950s, but worse.
Not really comparable. For example, the cost to produce a major book release does not scale nearly as quickly as the cost of producing a modern AAA video game.
That's fair. Would definitely not consider this a concept as we have many paid, satisfied customers but we're always iterating on our website/product based on feedback and this is definitely an area of improvement. But point taken about "making a first impression".

How do you balance making a good first impression with getting feedback on an early-ish version of your product?
But how do you codify that in law? I clearly want some moderation (taking down illegal stuff, border line illegal, and etc) but if your choice is "moderate all or not at all" (as my understanding of pre section 230 is) then no one is going to moderate anything at all. I'm not trying to defend Facebook here, but I feel completely ignoring any of the nuance to the situation is disingenuous. It's not like you can moderate a billion people, you could only do your best (I'm not saying Facebook is doing their best). Removing the nuance of the situation to make an easy argument is exactly the problem that got us here in the first place so let's not continue it.

I like iFixIt tear downs. They're done in a way that few can. But it would be nice to see them without all the snark. Do the writers think they're being clever? Edgy? Cool? Maybe funny. A lot of people confuse humor and anger these days.

Moreover, there's enough anger in the world, and especially on the internet. What value does this add to the tear down?
This seems to blur the lines between "hate speech is a thing" and "hate speech should be banned." They are fundamentally different questions, and conflating them invites the normative fallacy.
Then they bail out the shorts who have been driving done the price for ages. GameStop also file some form for a shelf offering for 100M with the SEC recently. Note the 100M is dollar amount, so you want to sell when you know the stock is at peak, you will get the 100M but less stock unit.
Getting rich has been a part of the American dream since at least the gold rush, the idea of striking out west to make your fortune.

More generally I’d argue that the American dream is that we made a country with greater social mobility than any other. That from any start, through hard work and intelligence you could become either middle class or rich according to your will. That the only thing holding you back would be your ability to capitalize on opportunities.

It is of course, a dream that was either never true or has ended. It is demonstrably false that the US has greater social mobility than many of our contemporary first world countries. While there is still opportunity here, and social mobility is far from impossible, the rich get richer and the poor stay poor is probably closer to the truth of modern America than the American dream of a fully socially mobile society.
I have been trying to find out why the supply of mRNA is limited. This article gives me hope that it can be scaled up with the right focus. As long as there is no fundamental science to be discovered, industrial processes can be scaled with enough money.

Well, ultimately the law is interpreted by humans, concepts like "good-faith effort" and "bona fide" exist despite those not being something you can exactly define in a law. But judges know it when they see it and it's not actually a problem in practice.

This is ultimately one of those things where computer scientists (specifically) freak out because the real world isn't zeroes and ones like they're used to, it's all shades of grey, but if you act in good taste it's probably not going to be a problem. Ban the cartel murderporn, show the aftermath of the bombing (or not, at your discretion), ban the nudists, but allow breastfeeding (or not, at your discretion), all of that sounds fine to me and we don't need to code an exact line into law.

This is really a common thread in HN threads discussing anything touching on laws or regulation, because computer touchers just can't wrap their head around the idea that the law isn't absolutely precisely defined in a state machine and the judge and jury are going to apply human reasoning. But that's how the legal system works.

I'm going to note that there is of course a degree of self-servingness in insisting that there be an exact line drawn. It's a way for Facebook to punt on actually having to moderate their platform and push that responsibility onto the courts, because they don't want to pay humans to deal with what is ultimately a human problem that needs to be solved in human ways. The nature of the world is that there are grey areas and some stuff in the grey area is fine and some stuff shouldn't be there, and it will take human intervention to decide which is which.

If you don't want to pay to do that, and you want to be 100% on the green side of the line, then you will have to default to very aggressive censorship that will probably annoy users, but that's the price of being on a free platform that doesn't want to pay for adequate moderation.
Same problem with libraries in my opinion.

Another missing piece of information is that Michael Burry, famous for being the first one to short the housing market before the crash, also took a long position on GME relatively early.

The announcement of his long position single-handedly caused the price to raise a non-trivial amount. IIRC his firm currently owns around 4% of GameStop.

I mostly agree that there isn't a great alternative to TSMC, but I would point out that the 2021 Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 processors are being made by Samsung with their 5nm process (in addition to their new Exynos 2100). Intel and GlobalFoundries aren't really replacements, but Samsung has been winning business for latest-generation flagship processors. Maybe it isn't as advanced as TSMC and maybe Samsung will have problems, but a lot of the 2021 flagship phones will be shipping with Samsung-manufactured 5nm processors.

Samsung seems to be keeping it close.

It's a bit absurd going off of speed runs is a way to accurately identify a game's normal play length.

I think all the games I had were 60+ hours, but I just liked JRPGs more than most genres.

FFVIII was picked not only because it was one of my favorites (FF1 too, SMB3, ...), because the remake today has turned it into 3 games, and even then those 3 games seem long by today's standards.
