I prefer a REST-like API, like Google uses for their services (basically, sending is done with "raw" GET/POST/PUT arguments, instead of blocks of JSON/XML), and Raw/JSON/XML responses.

But realistically, some levels of functionality are so intense, you need a “beefier” API, like GraphQL.

If that is the case, it might not be a bad idea to review the API. In my opinion, overcomplicated APIs are likely to be the result of the service, trying to exert too much control over the interaction/presentation.

Many times, an API is a "back window" or partial view to a more ambitious effort. For example, if the project is a Web-based framework, it will have a lot of rendering and View/Controller functionality that may be of no interest to something like a specialized text editor for content maintenance, so there would be no reason to expose that functionality.

It may be a good idea to provide a suite of APIs, as opposed to a single one.

Although historically it seems very rare that the BBC view on any international politics differs from that of the UK government.

Hopefully that's because both cater to the views of the British public, but it also seems possible that there is some kind of informal backchannel going on...

Christianity is among the religions that have the biggest amount of interpretations and custom versions believing in subsets or supersets of it ( just for starters, Catholics, Orthodox, Lutherans, Mormons, and a million others). Due to age, evolving interpretations, efforts of modernization and various sects, "Christianity" can mean different things to different people, and enforcing any version of it is bound to piss off any competing sect, religion and all non-religious people, which will probably be the majority.

> So until AMD takes this seriously and gets a legitimate developer story together, I'm spending my money elsewhere.

Fair enough. Thing is, AMD's market share in the mobile market has been below 15% over the past years [1] and only last year increased to about 20%.

Of these 20%, how many notebooks are (think realistically for a second) intended to be used for DL while also not featuring an NVIDIA dGPU?

ROCm on consumer cards isn't a priority for AMD, since profits are small compared to the datacentre market and there's not that many people actually using consumer hardware for this kind of work.

I always feel there's a ton of bias going on and one should refer to sales data and market analysis to find out what the actual importance of one's particular niche really is.

AMD's focus w.r.t. consumer hardware is on gaming an CPU performance. That's just how it is and it's not going to change anytime soon. On the notebook side of things, and AMD APU + NVIDIA dGPU is the best you can get right now.

I generally support the spirit of requiring cloud apps to provide equivalently powerful API access to their service. The (solvable) problem is how do you regulate this without stifling development of new cloud apps?

Another more practical problem is how do you even get something like this on the agenda of a lawmaker? This isn’t a readily apparent problem to most people but it likely would result in less monopolistic outcomes for cloud providers and potentially better and/or more efficient products.
The problem (currently) is that most people simply don't care about being forced to use a particular client - as long as that client looks nice.

I say this with a lot of love for the idea. My company sells a collaborative knowledge base that supports Bringing Your Own Client. Out of the hundreds of users I have spoken to, only ONE has ever asked me if they could use their favorite markdown editor to access their knowledge base.

On the positive side of things, having the capability to bring your own client makes it really easy for us to support many different use cases. We just have to write those clients ourselves.

Take 2d laminar flow around a circle. The flow field splits right in the middle.

The TV license is a tax imposed by the government, ergo the BBC is funded by the UK government.

Who mandates the payment of a TV License and allocates the funds from it to the BBC? I would assume that's the UK government. These terms may be used differently in the UK, but in the US that would be considered government funded.

My girlfriend and I really enjoy good food and travel. We spend a lot of our time cooking, eating, and going to breweries and wineries. We have a few favorite cities near us, like Charlottesville and the surrounding wine country in Virginia, and Portland, Maine. We've been there with enough frequency that we've developed a sort of reputation as the go-to experts for those areas, and have sent a long e-mail itinerary and travel guide to our close friends probably 10 or 15 times for each place.

Sometimes our friend doesn't drink alcohol, so we go through and scrub all the breweries and wineries. Sometimes they're gluten free, so all of the pizza and bagels we love get cut. After doing this several times, we realized it would be cool to have an app to do this. So that is my side project!

It will be part Canva, part Facebook Recommendations, maybe part knowledge-base? Filterable lists, creation of itineraries, notes about each Place. Export to a static site with a link you can share. It is already integrated with Google Maps and Places APIs, so it's pretty easy to get up and running.

The neat thing is, as I mentioned above, it has filters. So you can tag places with "winery" or "vegetarian" or something, and when you're crafting your collection of places for your friends, you can filter on those tags really easily. You could just click the "winery" tag to instantly create a "Virginia Wine Guide".

I'm not totally sure it has broad appeal, but I'm hoping a few travel bloggers might get some use out of it. V3 will probably have some sort of "export to CMS" feature.

I would have to assume that OP is lamenting the fact that the games themselves are not running natively on open source, and the existence of Proton detracts from game developers / publishers targeting Linux/OSS because now they don't really have a need to.

I see your response paints me as some anti-vaxxer. Why would you think that?

My kids, my wife, and myself are all accinated against polio and other illnesses.

Those vaccines a) Are real vaccines that actually stop getting the illness AND transmitting it and b) Have been battle-tested over decades and their long-term impacts and side-effects are well-understood.

I'm not anti-vaxx.

I'm against rushed, misleadingly-marketed vaccines that seem to have no impact on the actual transmission of the virus, based on every company's claims, that have been tested for months when prior to this widespread vaccine injections required close to a decade of study for approval.

This is a rushed gene therapy medical treatment for a disease that kills less than 0.4% of people under the age of 75.

No sense to take this fake vaccine.

From a European perspective, it depends. I wouldn't ever even consider something like Auth0 to store our user records for example, due to the potential legal fallout of storing all our PII on American servers. You have to be really careful just what kind of storage provider you pick, where their servers are located and which specific regulation your business falls under.

That being said, I'm a huge fan of splitting concerns - such as connecting anything and everything via OAuth delegations with narrowly scoped permissions!

No, I disagree, along with many others. Nothing is rude and offensive on its own, nor do you know what everyone else thinks. What you really mean is it's offensive to you, in which case you should exercise your personal freedoms and rights by reading something else instead of worrying about the rest of us.

As a member of a "minority group* myself, there's no connection to "minority groups demanding respect" here, just the typical outrage over the wildest reaches by those who feel they represent everyone else. By the way, treating people as monolithic groups is where bigotry comes from in the first place so why don't we just stop doing that all together?
Yes it is but that’s the point, if most energy is wasted it doesn’t matter that it’s limited.

Work - Dell laptop

I can't see myself using the Macbook often in the near future, and when I eventually leave my job I'm considering getting a Windows laptop of my own. The one I use for work is about $2k (thoughts about buying it from them dissipated), but my SO got a high performing one for about $600 that I'd consider.

Your words have just convinced me to try out D. Maybe some good will come out of it :)
The games I mean. I guess I'm in the wrong topic here, but if you play those games, you implicitly have to trust their secret code on your network. User account and all. Obviously most here have done that a long time ago and don't even give it a second thought. This is normal in these times of Windows and Facebooks, but I still care.
Proton is neat for sure, but unfortunately modern anti-cheat solutions expect Windows and will not allow Linux clients to connect. There's also a few games that I expected to work but simply won't launch for me, like Elder Scrolls Online.

I'm a fan of the Linux desktop, but for me the easiest solution is to have a dedicated Linux PC (right now an XPS 13 Developer) and a Windows machine for playing video games. I don't have the patience to troubleshoot getting games to run or perform well anymore.
> I realised an extra benefit: you can make it a sparse file, so it never even uses disk space at all until you actually need it, which could be never.

AFAIK, this cannot work. The swap code does not go through the filesystem, it bypasses the filesystem (it only asks the filesystem code for the swap file extents during the "swapon" call), and it's the filesystem that would be responsible for allocating disk space when writing to a sparse file.

I don’t understand this kind of question. Obviously you need some statistical measure to compare safety, and incidents per mile (or vehicle years, or hours driven) is an accurate way to estimate accident rates. All we care about is that on average it crashes less than human drivers. If there are specific conditions where it fares worse those would be pretty obvious to address, and naturally the odds of when crashing the situation being weirder than usual is a given if safety improves for the average case.

That aside, the answer to the first one is yes. Because of sonar and the cameras, a Tesla can see traffic two or three cars ahead and will initiate braking way earlier than a human would in the case of someone else running a red light - there a few videos of this exact situation available in YouTube. As for the second, probably not enough data, but in absolute numbers humans are responsible for nearly al of those cases so far, they happen weekly.

By the way, the overturned truck was not a fatal accident - the car triggered emergency braking and the driver came out without a scratch. The fatal one was a couple years ago when a Model S ran under a white truck making an unsafe u-turn.
Press release: "While the self-driving feature of our car had been engaged earlier in the drive, the driver was in control at the time of the crash."
Would you mind to rephrase? I am not sure what you are getting at here.

Pfizer was asking for indemnity from things that would be completely their fault and nobody elses.

Indemnity in case of rare adverse effects? Sure, this is a great idea as it might make the difference between getting actually getting vaccines and no company daring to touch vaccine development with a ten-foot pole.

Problems with fraudulent behaviour, negligence or malice on the other hand, that's should be their problem and theirs alone.
Raising 3 kids while at the same time completing undergrad studies in 6 years: I think you are missing some real-life experience to support that conjecture (I see you are adding 2 years on top of the standard 4 year undergrad program, so you are obviously trying).

I imagine you are not a mainly stay-at-home parent who did that, let alone one who went to University at the same time.

But even if you are, some kids are just that much harder to deal with than others (you know, just like some people are).

Now, my wife and I, who started having kids only in their 30s, admit that some of the things would have been much easier if we've only started earlier. But the likelihood of kicking off on a long, shared life path with someone you haven't met intimately, or without knowing yourself intimately (which I think is true for most people at 21, let alone 18), is minimal.

IME that tends to work better to teach someone what you think they should know.

>Engagement can be a good thing if you're using it to improve someone's life

Can we agree that entertainment and being entertained can improve someone's life? If we can agree to that, then we can also agree that games designed to entertain an individual are good for said individual.

It's not a leap from there to say that a game that is engaging and keeps someone playing is good for them, because it's entertaining them, and that, as we've established, is good.

Once you take the step to make a product addicting, as a formal part of your business model, everything after that is just shades of grey, I believe. Morality and justification of your own truth is a fascinating process. Or maybe I'm overthinking this.
> Although historically it seems very rare that the BBC view on any international politics differs from that of the UK government.

It's strange that the air and the water below the "floating" ship is so crisp and clear. In a superior illusion, there normally is quite a bit of distortion appearing like a wall of fog or galss under the ship (or island etc). It's also strange that this was seen at a very close range when such illusions normally involve objects far away, near the horizon.

> If anyone knows why this design was not chosen and what fundamental downsides it has, I'd love to hear it.

No fundamental ones, but a few practical.

32-bit numbers have 2^32 unique values, the number is even. Your approach makes the range asymmetrical like it happens with integers.

The range for 8-bit signed integers is [ -128 .. +127 ]. On ARM NEON there’re two versions of integer negate and absolute instructions, some (like vqnegq_s8 or vqabsq_s8) do saturation i.e. transform -128 into +127, others (vnegq_s8, vabsq_s8) don’t change -128. Neither of them is particularly good: the saturated version violates -(-x) == x, non-saturated version violates abs(x)>=0. Same applies to the rest of the signed integers (16, 32, 64 bits), an all modern platforms.

With IEEE floats the range is symmetrical and none of that is needed. Moreover, PCs don’t have absolute or negate instructions, but they instead have bitwise instructions processing floats, like andps, orps, xorps, andnps, they allow to flip, clear or set just the sign bit, very fast.

Another useful property of IEEE representation is that for two intervals [ 0 .. FLT_MAX ] and [-FLT_MAX .. -0.0f ] sort order of floats corresponds to [inverted] sort order of 32-bit integers.
I think this it the type of book that can only be written in a "ha ha only serious" way because anything else will make the reader too defensive to take it seriously.
