For democracy to work, the vote must be considered valid by all party. One party think the vote is not valid thus of course its expected for them to try to fight it.
I quite like Marc Lichtmann's (who happens to be on the GNU Radio board) https://pysdr.org quite refreshing and good for beginners.
> Well if someone dead said it and it was important enough to put quotes around, it must be true!

Straw man. It's true because it's true, not because of who said it.

> "Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them."

"This statement is false." "We had to destroy the village in order to save it."

Karl Popper was wrong, and here's why.

Speech and actions are different. Society can tolerate any kind of speech, because they're words. They don't cause direct harm. And the indirect harm, i.e. violence or firing people or refusing to serve them as a result of their race or religion, can be prohibited, while still allowing the speech.
> But that wasn't an organized coup either.

What are your requirements for an "organized coup?" It seems to me that Parler hosted a bunch of discussion (one might call "organization") about how exactly to storm the capitol (and also refused to remove that discussion when Google/Apple/Amazon asked them to).
Wine 6: Vulkan, DirectShow, DirectMedia...
FB profited off the violence and only started moderating once the situation became unsustainable from a PR point of view. The reason this insurrection happened is because people were fed divisive, outrageous and false garbage for years for "engagement"'s sake.
The DOJ handles antitrust. Its not fantasy for anyone thats looks to history, you might remember when telecom was broken up. That was reach that was then fragmented. This issue is larger than your individual assessment of what Parler was and regardless of what "side" you are on politically.
Does Microsoft charge for using the Windows trademark for Cloud providers, or does it charge only for the software license? If they only charge for the software, then how is this situation any different?
Nice. Very real problem. I'm excited to check this out.
I have to agree and came here to say this - the “Not OK” thing feels like we are all being lectured. This is an (one) unfortunate side effect of social media. The author doesn’t hear how he sounds, and can’t see the cringe on some of the audiences to realize it’s an awful (cringeworthy) tactic.

Could have come across better, but otherwise I support the authors assertions.
is there a remedy to post-college loneliness? alumni gatherings? graduate school?
Yes, 100% this. When the virus isn't spiking in your area, I recommend meeting coworkers in coworking spaces. When it is spiking I've been going to parks to have beers with friends. A warm coat can help a lot.

If you have vacation time to burn or unlimited PTO, take it. I was surprised how many people won't take time off because they can't go anywhere. As a big fan of staycations, I recommend them. Hide your work laptop for a week and just relax.

I agree, I felt it was written very quickly without much editing or review.
Hell. Even Twilio (a common carrier) banned Parler. AFAICT Parler wasn't using Twilio to forward harassing messages. It used it for 2FA. And I'm sure they'll get away with it. It's just nuts.
depends on your linux distro, but on current debian, ubuntu and co, you get 3.8.x.x using `apt install gnuradio`, fedora uses dnf, and so on.

On windoofs, `conda` got your back.

So, it's really gotten better. Yay!
Why would it be lock in. If you can compile for arm you can compile for x86.
That's fine but that's not "Open Source" as the open source community sees it. That's just source-available. It's great: when I choose proprietary software, I'm much happier when I get the source code along with it since it can help with diagnostics and advanced cases. But it isn't "Open Source".
It's like going to college from high school. You need to learn how to manage your time and space better.

Make a timeslot and schedule for things that used to be automatic, like going outside for a quick walk and exercising and starting and ending your day.
It's not more complicated than that. There is a confusion between incremental torque, which does get reduced (as correctly noted in the above) but only because the increments get reduced, and stall torque or holding torque, which in almost all cases do not. The latter are the ones that people generally care about, but because they read about a reduced incremental torque, they get the misconception microstepping creates some torque compromise.

But a full-stepping motor also has bad incremental torque for small displacements; by disabling microstepping you're just forfeiting the option to command them.

If anything, microstepping lets you run even closer to the motor's torque envelope, because you're less likely to induce a dynamic stall by either exciting a resonance or letting the stator's magnetic field get too far away from the rotor angle.
This is cool. I didn’t know it was possible to use CAD now to build the network(correctly)!

If you did not have the CAD files and you were only searching for specific parts you can still build a network that is trained from a single Lego by varying lighting angles and camera pose and spatially correlating that part to itself. If there is huge variation in part types you might also need to infer with known lighting angles and camera angles as well.

I'm on the fence.
After AngularJS, where all the work I had put into creating reusable components, all of a sudden it was gone, superceded by Angular. Everything from scratch, now with Typescript.
And then I was trying flutter and it was great but also, like Angular, half-assed and not there.
Then I had a period of writing everything in plain JS and embedding that in SSR pages served by Go.
No reactivity :(
But great SEO :)
Now I found quasar, the promise is write once, deliver on all platforms.
I prefer Angular to Vue but it doesn't have anything like Quasar and the Material components are lacking. vuex-orm, despite being new has more functionality out the box than ngrx-data.
If you go SSR with JS there is a huge performance impact vs Go (read cost in hardware).
Another downside of quasar is since it's all just a Webview on mobile you can't use grpc to communicate.
grpc-web uses base64 encoding on the payload, which makes it useless.
You can't use nginx on the front with grpc-web.
But then again I can make it work with a RESTful backend and a websocket notifier.
I would love reactivity on the frontend but SEO is more important.
Adsense doesn't monetize Angular sites, says they have no content.
So IDK...
On the backend I write monoliths. Go is powerful enough to serve about 400 million visitors on commodity hardware, a single server.
I had a cluster of 3 but it was too much effort maintaining them. Every now and then something would break. Ipsec or whatever. So I got rid of it.
1 server with raid10 and daily backups.
Like I wrote Go wins on the backend.
The frontend wars are undecided for me yet.
I'm just one guy so I'll go with quasar and vue for now, despite my love for Angular.
Also Angular is Google as is Flutter. And with Google you can't be sure they won't arbitrarily just end support one day to the next because Google's CEO felt like it today.
I would love if Svelte had the tools.
React, I tried getting into it but since it's so popular there are also many half-assed libs.
Take their material ui. Yeah it looks nice on the outside but when you're about to use it boobytraps everywhere. Maybe one time I'll make the jump from vue to react idk. Maybe one day there will be something like Quasar for react. Idk.

Because while it's true that Amazon is following the terms of the license, it's having real repercussions in that the people actually maintaining the Software are seeing decreased ability to grow the product because a huge company, belonging to the second richest man in the world, is offering it as part of their vertically-integrated oligopoly.

Reducing it to an issue of following license terms is short sighted, it's having negative repercussions on the software ecosystem and it's a dimension that has to be considered beyond merely a discussion on copyleft and the extent of it.
I believe 1984 was about the government rewriting reality and not private industry.
No one here is "partaking in apologetics for violence"; everyone is condemning the violence. Some people (myself included) are pointing out that while this event was violent and violence is never acceptable, that it alone wasn't a serious threat to our democracy, it wasn't a real insurrection, etc. The violence needs to be prosecuted, but no one needs to hang for treason.

To your point though, this forum does occasionally flirt with violence. Over the summer, some were waxing poetic about how "riots are the language of the oppressed" and arguing that burning someone's business to the ground isn't violence but rather "just property damage". Some were arguing that antifa and other violent groups were "freedom fighters" and so on. So yes, it does get pretty toxic here, but this thread isn't it.
Which is fine as long as they respect the license e.g. keep the result software open source. Amazon is selling compute hours, not software.
Hi: GNU Radio is not GNU-sponsored. Whatever that would be. Sure, we could put archives on Savannah, but I can have as many slow servers as I want...
No, Parler wasn't a platform for "freedom". It was a platform for right wing ideologues and frequently banned left wing content but had trouble cleaning up death threats.

Much like your comment?
On the one hand I don’t like the idea of a company like Amazon exploiting (in the classic sense) open source. I’ve not seen Amazon give much back to open source relative to what they’ve gained.

On the other hand if you open source something with a license that permits selling the software, well... what do you expect? You gotta hand it to Amazon. They’ve really hustled the industry by hosting open source code. The code is free, literally anybody else could have done this, but Amazon did it especially well.
I don't know how you can predict the future like this. Yes, intel greedily choose not to participate in the phone soc market and are paying the price.

But their choice not to invest in EUV early doesn't mean that they will never catch up. They still have plenty of cash, and presumably if they woke up and decided to, they wouldn't be any worse off than Samsung. And definitely better off than SMIC.

Similarly, plenty of smart microarch people work at intel, freeing them to create a design competitive with zen3 or the m1 is entirely possible. Given amd is still on 7nm, and are just a couple percent off of the M1 seems to indicate that if nothing else intel could be there too.

But as you point out Intel's failings are 100% bad mgmt at this point. Its hard to believe they can't hire or unleash whats needed to move themselves forward. But at the moment they seem to be very "IBM" in their moves, but one has to believe that a good CEO with a good engineering background can cut the mgmt bullcrap and get back to basics. They fundamentally just have a single product to worry about unlike IBM.
Ah didn't realise the dimensions were quite that small! That does mean that this takes up 2/3rds of the cubesat, which sounds like it would be impractical for many purposes.
> The trouble isn't that Amazon decided to use ElasticSearch in their own offering. The trouble is that Amazon simply out-competes ElasticSearch with their own product when it comes to consultancy, services, etc.

I kind of disagree here, the main reason it outcompetes is based on the network of linked self serve services in the ecosystem. We spend a ton of money on Amazon in general, and I would not tout thier consultancy as being anything but ok if not underwhelming.
As an avid LitRPG reader, i can tell you most authors need to scale their system WAY back. I like the crunchy parts, but at the end of the day story should take the focus, not 10 page long stat tables. Either that, or there's just enough crunch to slap a litrpg label on a bucket of cliche fantasy tropes.
It can export to ODT or HTML, both of which can be imported into word, or moved over by crudely cut and pasting into Word.

I think the bigger issue if she already likes Scrivener is that if that is the functionality she wants, then unless she wants the flexibility of being able to customise a tool or process Markdown files with code or switch to Linux etc. is something she wants, then it's not likely the tools you've pitched, or this one, will be an improvement.

I write in Markdown myself, so I absolutely sympathise with your POV on that, but I think the "rock solid word export" is more of a way to get you off her back because it works.
> There are 2 stores because that's about what the market can support right now.

I think this restrictions is caused by their walled-garden approach. If we forced interoperability, the situation would immediately improve.
Yes.

I wouldn't attribute it too strongly to WFH just that outside of work life is limited, cant travel, socialise (properly - not zoom).

Work tends to blend from day to evening, I definitely work later into the evening but I guess its my choice and partly because there's not much else to do (Netflixed out!)

Exercise helps. Reading. Eating well but allowing treats now and again (this is important).

I have booked some vacations for later in the year as something to look forward to (do this if you can, there will be a rush to the door when were in a better state and firms will not want everyone out at the same time).

The thing about all of these articles analyzing Intel's problems is that nobody really knows the details of Intel's "problems" because it comes down to just one "problem" that we have no insight into: node size. What failures happened in Intel's engineering/engineering management of its fabs that led to it getting stuck at 14 nm? Only the people in charge of Intel's fabs know exactly what went wrong, and to my knowledge they're not talking. If Intel had kept chugging along and got down to 10 nm years ago when they first said they would, and then 7 nm by now, it wouldn't have any of these other problems. And we don't know exactly why that didn't happen.
The big-ticket items are labor (either paid childcare or a parent skipping an income, and then when they get older, extracurriculars, since just messing around unsupervised is so frowned upon) and safety stuff like car seats.

The Fruit Machine: Why every Canadian should learn about the 'gay purge'
People are hard-wired to form tribes and self segregate into groups. I don't think we're going to grow out of that behavior anytime in the next 1000 years. But the author makes a leap from there to "nationalism is inevitable." There is an entire spectrum of organizational bodies and humans need not (and probably cannot) abolish all of them to form some sort of universal civilization. Surely there are ways we can retain regional cultural uniqueness and small group identities while gaining the ability to cooperate and share values?
If you become a weapons manufacturer I’m sure there’s also a lot to know, much of which will appear as completely niche law to everyone else.

Everyone looks visually different, and you will encounter, in your own country, a fellow countryman, or woman, whose parents are born in your country, who have the same nationality and legal status as yourself, but a different ancestry, maybe from India, that person will then, in your mind, not be your peer, simply because they look different? Even though you share culture and history and upbringing?
That attitude will be harder and harder to defend, as more and more phenotypes enter your society.

You may even find that your neighbor, who you've known your whole life, actually does not have any religion, or a different one, even though his ancestry goes back forever as natives of your geographical area, then you will no longer count him as your countryman?

So by following this train of logic, and remembering at each point that there really is no such thing as a true Scotsman, the logical reduction of this is, that what makes someone a citizen of your country is entirely and only defined by whether or not they hold a passport from your country, or whatever national identity identifier your country has.

Now, fast forward some generations of actually educating children, instead of indoctrinating them to think they're better or more right than others, but that people are people, and planet earth is home to people, and you end up with a society such as your current one (without the religion and racism), but one that entails the entire planet.

Show me a country, any country, and I will show you country.numberOfCitizens indiduals who actually don't agree on as much as they fool themselves into believing that they do, and yet somehow manage to find some mutual respect and regard for oneanother. There's no good (future) reason to base that regard on citizenship rather than on being human.
Oy open up! Do you have a licence for that telly?
More like "only while you're still allowed to hit Russian servers". With Carrier-Grade NAT leaving people without their own real public IPs, we're already past the point where people have true unfettered internet access and the freedom to hit / be hit by any IP they wish.

I'm not scared of the Russians. The whole thing feels like a lukewarm, microwaved version of the Cold War, and frankly, it's more Hollywood than it is real. "Russian hackers!!!" could be anyone who has a $2/mo Russian proxy address; you can get yourself a /32 of Russian IPv6 space for peanuts; there's no way to know where anyone's really operating from. Unless you think the MaxMinds GeoIP database is somehow irrefutable evidence of state actions....
True, though the work/fixes sometimes take a while to flow down. One example: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8255351
The Syrian government would not have lost control of the situation if it wasn't for Western support of the insurrection, Western bombings of infrastructure, and droves of Western armaments - ATGMs especially - that enabled the survival of the insurrection,

The material support was absolutely not token, at all.

There are also literal US troops in Syria that are used purely to prevent the Syrian government from taking control of land in Syria.

These are also in strategic places used to cut off land trading routes to Syria and cause economic pain to the government via military means, in the hopes that the government would fall.

Also, the US government actually did bomb the Syrian military multiple times.

So no, the US is actually at war in every single sense of the world against the Syrian government, and without the US government and it's allies there would be no civil war in Syria past a year or two of unrest. Not anywhere even near 400 000 deaths.

> Leveraging your monopoly to compete in another area is illegal. Leveraging a strong position isn’t and Amazon is a long ways from a monopoly.

That really depends on interpretation, which has shifted over time and continues to shift. IIRC, recent interpretations of some types of anti-competitive behavior have been rather literal and required something very close to a literal monopoly, which has had the effect of neutering antitrust law in all but the most blatant of cases.

My understanding is that it's arguable that it's anti-competitive to leverage market share advantages more broadly (e.g. antitrust law could be used to constrain/break-up a duopoly).

> I don't know the laws of every country, but I don't think it's illegal to jailbreak your phone or create/use an alternate app store in the United States. Your phone just won't be supported any more.

Companies have argued that it violates DMCA 1201 because you could plausibly use the other app store to install pirated apps or something like that.

They're trying to have it both ways, of course, so they tolerate a couple of small irrelevant stores in order to claim that there are competitors even though they still have >95% of the market. But now explain why Amazon or Microsoft doesn't make their own app store for iOS. Or just sell a mod officially supported by one of these large companies that allows any arbitrary store to be installed on one of their competitors' platforms.

It is if it's the reason they can't just distribute through a different app store.

Over the past month I did an experiment of using only powershell, including on my macbook and Linux boxes. I’ve gone back to zsh now though.

The benefit of powershell - the rich object data model - isn’t actually that useful in practice day to day.

The memory usage is ridiculous for a shell.

The killer though is a disregard for economy of expression. The example in the article can be expressed as just “find /path -mtime -3”.

I have kept ps on Windows, i didn’t go back to cmd.exe there but WSL2 is still my default when opening Microsoft Terminal.
