So that's what's really puzzling to me, what's really driving this change? Is their considerable revenue from all of that still not enough to justify their valuation and growth? Or is it really just a personal vendetta against AWS?
Q: When you look back on this year of pandemic, what mistakes have you made?

A: Certainly, when it comes to communication. For example, trying to defend myself on Twitter against attacks. That never works. In general, I made the mistake of spending too much time reading Twitter. Doing so just drives you crazy.
Nuclear winter seems unlikely to me, and from what I understand I'm not alone. Cities are no longer prone to huge firestorms like they once were. Furthermore most nuclear strikes would probably be airbursts to maximize blast effects, but that means less material being thrown into the atmosphere. If the attack were calculated to cause maximum fallout instead, airbursts of salted bombs might be used, which would poison huge areas of land but would not particularly contribute to a nuclear winter.

Albedo modification is the obvious response to the situation. Of course testing should start small, but the idea that 2 kg of material in one location could lead to a runaway deep-freeze earth situation is not plausible. Those global warming enthusiasts who oppose this research seem more interested in political implications than in actually reducing warming.
>I can't do multiple things.

I feel ya man. The more interesting thing always wins and the other thing gets forgotten about or "I'll come back to it". Trying to do more than one thing feels conflicting pretty quickly.

When I was younger in my mid 20s before I was diagnosed there was a period where it was amazing. People around me couldn't understand how I was able to get on the level I was able to get on. But if you zoom out and look at my life on the whole from 17 to 27 I had 5 different jobs and _in aggregate_ only managed to be gainfully employed for 1 year out of those 10. My early adult life was a wreck.

Now I'm in my early 30s Ive got a decent career because I hyperfocused on that and instead now my health is a wreck. After suffering a brush with burnout last year I'm now trying to focus on my health.

I think I cycle back and forth on it being a burden. Pre-diagnosis I just had no idea why I felt consumed by what I was into to the point where some days I felt like I had no agency because I was starting to get that burny-outy feeling and wish I could do something else with my time but was always find myself sucked into "just. one. more". Though there are times when you just are constantly in this deep flow state and nothing else matters. It's just impossible to balance. There is no balance.
Certainly not an obvious impact, at least not yet, according to this graph: https://www.esrl.noaa.gov/gmd/ccgg/trends/
> this is an internet facing endpoint which will get people probing it to attack (assuming you used a cloud server)

Honestly this is the number one problem with internet security today. Why are computers allowed to talk to strangers at all? They should just drop all data coming from unauthenticated connections. This would destroy the mass appeal of the modern internet but it makes a lot of sense for computers hosting personal services that are meant to be used by one or few users.

Technologies such as port knocking and single packet authorization make vulnerabilities irrelevant since there's no way to exploit them before authenticating oneself.

I am beyond skeptical this will be adequate for NMEA/CAN for the very reason myself and others explain in the rest of the thread.

This will get you wiggling output pins, not a replacement for dedicated protocol hardware or a actual programmable logic.
Another interesting experiment is the effect of strong magnetic fields on crystals: when the field is turned off, is there something left in the crystal, e.g. a certain motion pattern of crystal nodes?
The Mac setting does not seem to work for all applications.
I think you'd enjoy the work of Bernardo Kastrup, who is a proponent of idealism, while also arguing against panpsychism, for basically the reasons you just stated - ie, there is a reality made of parts, and those parts are x, where x is 'matter', 'mind', 'consciousness', 'electromagnetism' and so on. But the trouble then is that you can only describe the constituent parts in terms of those parts. For example, subatomic particles have properties like spin and charge, but that's the only way you can describe them - in relation to one another - without having to go a level 'deeper' if it were possible to describe them in further parts (which would only be describable in terms of those parts, and so on).
What is absolutely mind blowing to me is that when I was in college, in my crystallography class, we were inferring the crystal structure through the X-ray diffraction. Now we can observe it directly. I took the crystallography class in late 70s. I doubt that anyone had expected so much progress.
I was simplifying somewhat. They do like to sunbath especially in the morning though and from what I've read in their natural habitat in Greece as well (to adult tortoises there's few natural predators there, but younglings tend to stay hidden in their first few years).

My point was more that wild animals do not push themselves in the same way we humans do. There's fulfilling basic needs and stress from disease or predators, but no voluntary exercise beyond what's necessary for finding food/drink or obsession for self-improvement.

I'd be curious if one could teach some smarter animals that they're able to self-improve but that probably requires higher-order thinking...
Whats worse is when a website has a footer but they have a never-ending scroll div between the header and footer so as you approach the footer more content loads pushing the footer even further down.
Made my day :) Guess we'll adopt this.
> "Why? Somehow Apple's chips will get better, but competition will stand still?"

Arguably this has been the case for the last ten years (comparing chips on iPhones to others).

I think x86 can't compete, CISC can't compete with RISC because of problems inherent to CISC (https://debugger.medium.com/why-is-apples-m1-chip-so-fast-32...)

It won't be for lack of trying - x86 will hold them back.

I suppose in theory they could recognize this e-risk, and throw themselves at coming up with a competitive RISC chip design while also somehow overcoming the integration disadvantages they face.

If they were smart enough to do this, they would have done it already.

I'd bet against them (and I am).
This is right for the wrong reason. See follow-up down-thread.
>M1 brings a nice performance at fairly low power, but that's just a quantitative difference. No new vision. Perf/watt improvements have been happening every single year since the first chips were manufactured.

I'd say the M1's improvements are a lot more than performance per watt. It has enabled a level of UI fluidity and general "snappiness" that I just haven't seen out of any Mac or PC before. The Mac Pro is clearly faster than any M1 Mac, but the browsing the UI on the Mac Pro just feels slow and clunky in comparison to the M1.

I can only chalk that up to optimization between the silicon and the software, and I'm not sure that Apple's competitors will be able to replicate that.

I'm always surprised when I see discussions about somebody dumping one operating system for another. Isn't your operating system choice dictated by the applications you want to run?
What do you want to use it for?

Debian is probably easier to set up, and will be more likely to have pre-built third party packages if you want something that isn't in the distribution repositories. Some of the software is getting a little old right now, because Debian 10 came out in 2019 (11 will probably be done in a few months). Arch will always have the newest FOSS software, but if you want to install a bunch of proprietary apps, it might be harder (anyone?).

Arch expects more hand holding from the user at install time. You will therefore get to learn how to do things by hand on a CLI like: set the timezone and clock, config and bring up the network, choose and configure your partitions, shell, and gui. This is fussy and time consuming and teaches you how to fix those things by hand in a shell (or remote ssh!). I'm a debian user, and it would take me an afternoon to remember how to bumble through all of that; if you're a newb, clear your weekend.

If you're interested in systems programming or devops or want to know all about the care and feeding of your operating system, this stuff might be worth learning about. Of course you can do the same by hand on other distros if you want. The Arch documentation is second to none, and I use it all the time. The Arch community is... well... the kind of people who run Arch. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

On the other hand, Debian is easy to install and picks sane defaults for just about everything. One under-appreciated result of this is commodity. If something happens to my laptop I can reinstall Debian and unzip a backup of my home folder before I finish my coffee. No product keys, no hardware restrictions, no bullshit, and don't make me think. This is a big deal to me because it means never having my work depend on any particular computer!

A couple of quick pointers if you want to try going this way:

--the text mode installer looks scary but is pretty nice.

--it will set up full disk encryption for you if you select the option.

--Debian (but not ubuntu or most others) annoyingly doesn't install some proprietary wifi firmware by default; you can try to add the firmware during the install, but it's a pain, so just use a cable if you can, then remember to add it after install (e.g. the intel wifi firmware package is called 'firmware-iwlwifi').

--FYI, the Gnome desktop requires that you turn on 'Location Services' to get automatic time/zone updates when you travel (it's lately off by default for privacy).

I'm sure Arch installs can be scripted or automated, but I'm too lazy to figure that out. I haven't done things that way since I was a student, although I'm tempted from time to time because of the newer packages.

You could start installing Arch and see what happens. If you care enough to bother and you get it done before you loose your temper, you're an Arch user.

If you're like "OMFG how many questions do I have to answer about parse trees to install zsh, I still don't have WIFI and it took two days to set my clock, I'm out!", then quit and install Debian.
This is really great news and I’ve been waiting for a while.

I use this extensively on gitlab and these little pages sites are easier to use than markdown.

However one thing that’s cool about GitLab is that we host it internally so any “public” site is available to anyone on the intranet without needing to log in. So the project sites started getting read by lots of users who don’t have GitLab logins and would never commit to a repo.

I wish there was a way to link my orgs logins with GitHub so non-GitHub licensed users could view the sites. I mean, I can do that but I have to then buy GitHub licenses and make them create GitHub accounts just to view project docs. That’s pretty expensive compared to just keeping projects on my internal GitLab.

Deer seem to be a problem everywhere. In the US midwest they're all over the place.
Intel Macs are literally PCs. The Windows drivers that Apple bundled up for Boot Camp were the same drivers that the respective component manufacturers provide for other PC OEMs to redistribute. In the entire history of Intel Macs, there have been very few components used by Apple for which there wasn't already an off-the-shelf Windows driver written by someone other than Apple for the sake of their non-Apple customers.
Nah, horses -> cars was dramatic transition, while ICE -> EV is not. Some (younger) people won’t even notice it, if done properly. No way you can create a horse replica that will be so realistic, people ride it as a horse!
The way to “win” an argument these days is to make a claim which is more complex to refute than the attention span of the audience. You achieve this by making claims which are somewhat true and not particularly representative of reality.

These tend to be the vast majority of arguments that people see because controversy gets clicks and the more reasonable people are straight up afraid to appear to support the other side by disagreeing with the more unreasonable folks with a shared alignment.
Somewhere in between. Are they as good as a decent orthodontist? No -- and they're nowhere near as good as a great orthodontist.

Are they acceptable for fairly simple cases, which mostly means patients who had braces growing up, didn't wear retainers, and don't need much correction? Maybe, even probably.

If you're considering D2C, it's worth visiting a few local orthodontists for in-person consultations (which are generally free) and openly discussing the pros and cons with them. You'll probably find at least one orthodonist who will either say "Your case is so simple that, while I'd do a better job, the odds of D2C going terribly are pretty low" or, well, anything other than that. You can't lose from having the conversations, and one of them may earn your trust and present something that works for you.

D2C vendors' biggest weakness has been accepting too-complex cases and/or accepting patients without having an unbiased orthodontist review the case first. Try to fill that gap yourself and then see what you think.

IOW: It's not a scam, but it is a higher-risk, lower-quality service. It isn't a cheaper version of an orthodonist. If your case is simple, money is tight, and you know what you're buying, those may not dealbreakers.

(You're probably already beyond it, but for anyone else: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ogbo9Ny_y-g and https://investors.smiledirectclub.com/news-releases/news-rel... are decent starting points.)

I don't think this is inherently the issue. News sites could aggregate charges and bill you at the end of the month.

I think the bigger issues is that if I see an article presented to me as shared on social media or in search results I assume it is free access. I click in, and if they ask for payment, it's a turnoff since I thought it was going to be free. Also, I don't like how credit card information can be continuously used by the organization.

I want to be able to hand an authorization for a single one-time payment to any organization and not an authorization to charge however much they want, whenever they want.

That goes for hotels too. I want to be able to say "Here's my credit card" [but I don't authorize more than $130/day].

No, it's terrifying.

A computer is something you can use to consume content or produce content.

A tablet is something you can only really use to consume content. (Regular tablet, not artist tablet obviously, and those generally have to talk to a computer)
IMO the real failure here was not having an internal administration website with all the auth and API plumbing already set up, which you could tack a new page onto with minimal fuss, and a backend to tack a new API endpoint onto with no hassle.

If you're building a new internal webapp from scratch for a small internal use-case, you just end up with a hundred different poorly-maintained apps.

But in the situation where you're adding a page to an internal app, it's trivial to make that new page a SPA React app, since the framework is already there waiting for a new component.
That is how most toll systems work. You load up a balance on the card $10/$20 and it deducts every time you cross a checkpoint.

The difference between this and a micropayment platform would be the fees. In the toll system, the fees are paid once. With a micropayment platform, the fees would be per transaction.

There can be a "self hosted" version of such a platform that say each content-provider can host but I am not sure it will work out against the cost of maintaining it includes much more than just hosting (securty, auditing, refunds, taxes etc).
AUR packages also make it easy for users to see what they're building. The PKGBUILD is just a script that downloads the software and builds it.

I think it would take a while to go through the motions with a new contender, during which time the media orgs will continue to not collect and possibly lose money. Not so great for them. Also, these other providers are less wealthy and hence lucrative to bilk from.

That said, if were Bing / DDG, I would move very carefully...

I completely agree with you, I'm programming in C++ in my job and I've dabbled in Rust a bit. The issues in C++ are 90% ones that you wouldn't have in Rust

However my reply to the higher up comment was because you can't switch every project away from C++. I think it's a good idea to start most projects where you would have picked C++ in Rust now, just that it's infeasible for a lot of code, given the mountains of code that exist in C++.

Also plenty of code needs certifications that just don't exist for Rust yet.

So saying C++ is an anti-pattern is kind of correct, but it doesn't help you if you have to deal with it.
“Would” is a bold word choice given that AWS hasn’t ever raised prices. Could, can, might - sure.
In one sense, yeah, they're the same: they're both just tools.

In another sense, computers are closer to pencils and paper - they're the tools you use to design the rest of the tools. And that's something special.
VHF radio transmitter? You construct some complex wave pattern and then push it out high-speed via DMA.
Right, anything that's just mimicking the default without checking this setting is going to be stuck. Also anything more custom, like websites that override scroll behavior.
I am aware of that environment variable. The problem is that I think almost nobody is using it, so it could come with a risk of introducing more bugs.

By the way, the example shown in the documentation page that you link to seems ridiculous:

void *slist = g_slist_alloc (); /* void* gives up type-safety */
g_list_free (slist); /* corruption: sizeof (GSList) != sizeof (GList) */

This bug should actually be caught during compilation if we store the list in a GSList* typed variable instead of void*. You’d think: who does that?

Except that this is what you actually end up doing when using any kind of nested glib containers. Elements are always void*, so you have to cast them correctly. So for non-trivial applications, it’s very easy to make mistakes, since you lose the type checking support of the compiler.

C is already a tricky language. Removing the type checker makes it even worse.
All right, let's say you know absolutely nothing about the world of microcontrollers but you think this looks cool and cheap. What webpages or resources would you recommend to get started and learn more? Do you first to need to get into electronics and circuits? But before that, get a foundation on how electricity works? And even before that, get a good grasp on how to create the universe?
Class (or income/wealth or whatever you call it) is the elephant in the room for a lot of US equality law. Sometimes SCOTUS rules for it (eg when public defenders were first required) but recently they've ruled solidly against it (eg voter Id laws).

Personally I don't think the current US civil society would wear such a classification and deciding the edges of it would be messy.

But I think it's logically and morally correct.

It always surprises me when US colleges go on about diversity of race but no one really takes much interest in diversity of socioeconomic background.

Here in the UK we are similarly picky about what discrimination is acceptable. Maybe in another generation or two people will be ready for a more thorough review of things.
I keep seeing "EdDSA is faster than RSA" but is it ever usefully faster? I imagine it's maybe milliseconds of difference per secure connection initialization, and so it feels deceptive to market it as (usefully) faster.

>cut down on overlapping speech and interruptions

Never seen video chat be a good substitute for poor etiquette. People still decide to interrupt one another. FWIW, this problem also occurs in-person on a daily basis with most people.

>With video chat you can read facial expressions

This is a double-edged sword. Some facial expressions are better off not read. Facial expressions are routinely misinterpreted. Worse, it creates an incentive to turn facial expressions into facial expression etiquette, which is both annoying to the person, and removes any reason to even use facial expressions.

I can accept video chat in small groups (sub-5) for a short time in professional settings. Anything other than that feels suffocating and limiting. There definitely is an obsession with video chat which has yet to be proven, by a majority who are trying to (poorly) mimic the workfloor.
