Most 16:9 laptops have thick bezels. They could fit a taller screen in the same space. Common 16:10 resolutions have the same number of columns as common 16:9 resolutions.
To be consistent we should redefine a few more things, e.g. when we take the 0th element of a list we have 0 elements, when we take up to the 1st element we have 1 element, etc.

Joking, but I think there's always be a mismatch somewhere.

> I'm convinced some of these activists are getting funding from these crap companies

Apple is the world's most powerful company. What makes you say that you believe those responding with outrage at the use of child labor at this company means they are 'funded' activists?
1. Nationalized means poorly run. Effective companies emerge through competition amongst many companies, and are guided by profit-motivated shareholders, not barely invested and highly distracted politicians.

2. A semiconductor manufacturer needs to be based in a region with a substantial semiconductor supply chain to be successful, and for the UK to develop such a supply chain, it needs a broad-based shift that makes it less-social-democratic/more-capital-friendly, i.e. a more performance oriented economy.
been bit by another audio engine that had the same license and pulled a bait and switch. No thanks.
Sure, assuming that their in-house manufacturing is more expensive than buying externally (quite likely, considering that it was grown for decades more on USPs than on pricing). I wonder how much the "cooperate to learn" effect has been part of the decision. You surely won't get outright trade secrets this way or technological details, but valuable insights in how they think, how they "do things on a high level"
If Adobe was good OSX citizen you could uninstall any of their apps by dragging them into the Trash. OSX has always been great for making it easy to uninstall apps.

It's because they use a custom installer that dumps code all over the filesystem that makes Adobe apps are difficult to uninstall.
Hello Next.js, Goodbye Hexo – Marco Franssen
I’m not really interested in seeing Levandowski sent to jail either.

People like him are a menace to society and shouldn’t be allowed to operate companies or deploy capital.

Society blesses individuals with the privilege to form a company and in exchange those company officers are expected to make a net positive contribution to society. Jobs, investment, progress.

If you fail to do that — through stealing, fraud, corruption — the least you should expect is to never be allowed to run a company ever again.

Windows has a habit of undoing such changes with seemingly random updates and kind of reaches a point where if you really want to get and keep complete control and keep up with the updates you end up doing more tweaking than a competent mainstream linux user has to fix up initial kinks like getting bluetooth to work with everything or running the occasional non-supported software.

Not OP but for me it is a deal breaker too. On-top of the privacy issues with most variants Chrome is also the new Internet Explorer, monoculture and forced "standards" and all. Firefox would have to become really bad for me to even consider switching and, again IMHO, Firefox is also better than most critics say it is. Every time I see a critic of FF I have a hard time taking it seriously as most are hyperbole or FUD. Like "it uses x GB RAM!" and I look in Task manager and see it uses way way less*. It seems it has become hip to attack Mozilla and Firefox all the while using Chrome, Gmail and Google search (or if really hip all of these except DDG instead of Google search).

* Atm. on my PC Firefox with 3 sites open and 10 add-ons installed (Including adblocker, decentraleyes and containers) uses 630,5MB RAM and 0 - 0,3% (of a very old I7) CPU.

Just the side-effects of COVID are bad enough, even for young people. The scientific reports quickly squashed my idea of live vaccination in March. It seems the media mostly focuses on the deaths since these are measurable and deaths are visceral, but maybe they should focus more on the general dangers of COVID for everyone.
Depends how you define improvement. Technology would still boom maybe even more so, but society and culture would remain mostly stagnant.

People's beliefs rarely change. It's the younger generations that further define culture and bring change. The older generations strive to maintain status quo.
Thought experiment: In the past people openly discriminated against lgbt people. Today LGBT rights and acceptance have won (and will keep winning)! It's not the racist old uncle that thinks it's a disease, that incited that change. It is the newer generations that first learn everything their parents know, and then they learn from their parents mistakes.

As time passes the balance of acceptance shifts and a societal shift has occurred!

Now of course, this doesn't mean that old people are evil, or incapable of change, or that everything will be perfect because each generation is always better. This only means that this is one of the ways change can happen.

In a world of immortals, only violent uprisings could challenge the status quo. The world would have no incentive to change.
If 100 years ago everybody suddenly became immortal and sterile (no deaths/no births), would the world of today have still invented punk rock?

It's shocking how accurate his predictions were, and I think it's really important to understand that these weren't lucky guesses. They were the product of a deep and insightful analysis of Chinese culture and society that is still very much relevant today. The personalities have changed, but in many ways China is still China.
Do you often find a need to slice hardcoded numbers, however?

I find that the only hardcoded number I often need to slice or index is indeed the start, and most languages do offer something for that such as `slice[..i]` to slice from the start.
> “ But you can't rule out the possibility that a few people, who happen to be positioned exactly right at a particular point in time, correctly assess the risk of a certain bet as being much lower than the rest of the market thinks.”

No, you very much can rule that out. It’s nothing more than “a broken clock is right twice a day.” Lots of people are making lottery like bets on specific stocks, with a just-so story about why they’ve correctly valued it. By random chance, some small subset actually pay off and people falsely mistake the just-so narrative for investor prowess or foresight.
I lack connections because I did not care about money and such before the age of 25. :/ Of course I also lack qualifications. I only have my code repository, and I can talk about the projects I made for some clients. In any case, it is quite difficult because I have lots of anxiety. I feel like I would fail or would not know enough.
If I were to speculate, I would say that tsmc has a diversified enough customer base AND doesn’t see intel as a contract fab competitor. I would imagine if roles were reversed there would be a whole lot more concern.

This has actually been done previously. The former Ocean Odyssey (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odyssey_(launch_platform) was used as a launch platform for a time after it was damaged by a blowout. (I had a very small part in the original drilling rig design.)

Semi-submersible rigs, of which this is an example, basically flood ballast tanks in lower pontoons to sink lower in the water for stability and then use typically 8 anchors to keep the rig in place. You can also use dynamic positioning although I think that was only used on drillships when I was involved.
> I don't mean this unkindly, but your information diet has incredibly serious problems if you haven't come across any legitimate criticisms of the BLM org in the past.

How about an empty range in type uint8_t?

The fact of the matter is, for a type that can hold N distinct values, there are N + 1 different possible interval lengths. You can not represent intervals over a fixed-width type in that same type.
A few questions which spring to mind:

* Can I use SOUL to create freestanding interactive performance environments a la Pure Data?

* What prospects are there for beefing up hardware to run more DSP and bring down latencies? Are there, or will there be open-hardware DSP projects which run SOUL, or open-source runtimes which achieve high performance on standard issue CPUs? If the company behind SOUL goes under (Roli, I think), what happens?

* Could I write a program in SOUL that does real time beat detection given an audio signal, say a steady drum beat (to make things simple)?
This is an argument about checked indexing, not about where indexing should start; after all, whatever the index base, you still need to check that the index fits within the bounds of the array. It doesn’t matter if a behaviour is technically deterministic and defined if it’s not what you want to happen. I mean, just read the explanation of the ‘wat’ talk: <https://stackoverflow.com/a/9033306/3840170>. Every one of these behaviours is defined by the ECMAScript standard, but they’re still useless.

For things that wrap, such as ring buffer indices or packet sequence numbers in a fixed-size field or clocks (hour of the day, minutes in an hour), zero-based indexing is simple modular arithmetic. Wrapping of one-based indices can of course be done, but it's more complicated than necessary.
> the ok sign has taken on the meaning of a white power sign in certain situations.

>> When done when posing with Steve Bannon it probably means white power sign.

When a no-kidding, self-admitted, non-LARPing, Stormfront-reading, Klan- or Nazi-party member says "Yeah we've been using the OK symbol for years" then I'll believe it.

But all I've ever seen about this is leftists of a certain type asserting that it's true, with some variation of "I know it's true because all my friends and thought leaders say it's true, and you can see yourself that such people as Steve Bannon use it, and people have even been fired for doing it. Definitely true. Your move, white-supremacy-denier!"

So, no. It's a conspiracy theory, in which denial of the conspiracy is yet more evidence of the conspiracy.

That is an important observation, but also it is worth noting that Intel reports earnings tomorrow (ie, they're in a quiet period) with the CEO role changing hands in less than four weeks, so presumably they would announce this move with the earnings report (or address it on the investor call) if true.
Well, why not start there, when we're going to "War" ?
This is my experience. We had a freelancer for a few months who needed Photoshop, didn't realise we were signing up for a year.

They advertise it as a monthly subscription, but it's actually a monthly payment plan for a yearly subscription.

When I told them this was unacceptable, not what was advertised, and demanded a refund, they tried to bribe me by saying if I stopped pursuing a refund for the company they would give me a free year on my personal Adobe account. Explaining to them that I have no need for Adobe products myself, and that this bribery was really dodgy and making me think even less of of Adobe, was a tough process. They couldn't understand.

Hi, I've created Humlix (https://www.humlix.com) that will help generate tests for your REST APIs. Today REST clients offer the possibility to set up a test suite and write code that executes some tests, or they allow you to call an endpoint with some data and look at the result. Humlix automatically generates tests based on example data. That allowed me to discover bugs in GitLab CE (see https://blog.humlix.com/how-to-create-1040-tests-targeting-g...).
Humlix is using Property-Based Testing and treats a status code of 5XX as an error. When it finds a problem, it tries to reduce the scope and figure out what data caused it. For this to work, the test setup would need to be re-created between test runs to get the best results. E.g., by re-starting a Docker-container.

Tech stack: I built the core parts of Humlix using Clojure and ClojureScript. I had never used Clojure before, but I am thrilled by the development experience so far. Humlix runs as an Electron app on Mac OS and Windows. The -jar file launches in the background as a node child process.

I have a video available on the Humlix site: https://www.humlix.com It is also available on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QHLRRIW-7Ps

I'm happy to answer any questions. Please download and try Humlix for yourself.

> I'm surprised to see so many top level comments defending Apple for knowingly using child labor. I don't know what it says about us, but it's nothing good.

You're not alone, I think it's terrifying.

What seems worse to me is that some in this thread are suggesting that child labor isn't so bad because: "I had a paper round as a kid".

Capitalists have successfully alienated us from the production processes in the global south, and from each other.

Indians, the Chinese, Bangladeshi and many others in the global south - have now been fully disinherited and re-'other-ed' in the modern era. It should be referred to by it's proper name: neo-colonialism/imperialism.

I am worried that some have so much grandiosity from being told they're awesome at school (and that they are special and one of the only ones good enough to do it - when in reality today's capitalism privatizes and monopolizes knowledge in the form of trade secrets and patent, allowing capitalist firms to 'own' ideas and inventions), that they don't even realize when a job someone else does (because of their privileged higher up position in the capitalist hierarchy) is physically impossible (working 12-14 hour days [2]).

Did you read the article? Are you opposed to the pardon of Davidson?

President Trump commuted the sentence of Jaime A. Davidson. This commutation is supported by Mr. Davidson’s family and friends, Alice Johnson, and numerous others. In 1993, Mr. Davidson was convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment in relation to the murder of an undercover officer. Notably, witnesses who testified against Mr. Davidson later recanted their testimony in sworn affidavits and further attested that Mr. Davidson had no involvement. Although Mr. Davidson has been incarcerated for nearly 29 years, the admitted shooter has already been released from prison.

It's worth reading the full summary point from the Sapolksy's book, from a chapter titled "Hours to Days Before" [a behavior occurs] — the realm of hormones:

"[...] Within the normal range, individual differences in testosterone levels don't predict who will be aggressive. Moreover, the more an organism has been aggressive, the less testosterone is needed for future aggression. When testosterone does play a role, it's facilitatory—testosterone does not "invent" aggression. It makes us more sensitive to triggers of aggression, particularly in those most prone to aggression. Also, rising testosterone levels foster aggression only during challenges to status. Finally, crucially, the rise in
testosterone during a status challenge does not necessarily increase aggression; it increases whatever is needed to maintain status. In a world in which status is awarded for the best of our behaviors, testosterone would be the most prosocial hormone in existence."

I’m inclined to think no. If deepfakes weren’t a thing then there would be no need to fake something like this so I don’t think there’s be much reason to fake it now. Seems easier to just do the real thing.

I think the whole point of the messaging is to make it obvious what’s happened without explicitly saying it and a deepfake doesn’t help with that. If they had done something worse they would have done it deliberately and would want to prove it. Kind of like when the Russians assassinate some dissident and go on their news to say “we absolutely deny the allegations that so and so was assassinated but I guess it just shows what happens when you are a traitor”
Cool! A few of my friends have dragged me back into watching anime, so anime related side projects are fresh on my mind. This seems like a great use case for a discord bot too.

Then a wrapper service that displays just the slimmed down episode portions chained together. But I don't know if the YouTube API or others even support stuff like that.
