Something similar happened with the US and Iran. The Shah paid for military fighter jets, but then the Islamist theocracy took over. So the US froze the money and obviously wasn't going to deliver the jets to a USSR supported regime. The question of property legitimacy after a revolution is a recurring one throughout history.

Not only would you have to ensure you're always setting the db to SQLITE_OPEN_FULLMUTEX, https://sqlite.org/c3ref/errcode.html and https://sqlite.org/c3ref/changes.html are still not coherent in multithreaded contexts. Calling them won't corrupt anything, but they'll return garbage. The latter probably doesn't matter much, but the former seems quite relevant if you want to handle errors beyond "this failed".
skillfully done.
So given that the only mitigation to Spectre is to isolate each website into its own underlying OS process, it seems very important to know which browsers are doing that.

Chrome is doing it. What about Firefox and Safari? What about Edge? Do they implement site isolation?

I don't really think any of the fighting over classification helps. People need someone to help talk it through and find coping strategies. The people we employ to talk through such things work in a field we call mental health.
I think that's about what I paid for my analogue storage scope (it works by long-persistence phosphor on the tube, it's very neat though obviously not very practical these days; has a handful of valves in it as well as the CRT proper).
MiniDisc user here. It's for a couple of reasons.

First of al, ATRAC is a strange format. It's optimized for perception as far as I understood it. It doesn't color sound but can reproduce the dynamics and details very well. It's important to understand ATRAC has quality levels: SP, LP2, LP4. SP fits 80 minutes to a 80 minute MD. LP2 fits ~160 minutes, LP4 fits ~320. SP is extremely detailed and transparent. LP2 is really pretty good. LP4 is not good. Is not bad, but for listening on the move. It's not suitable for joy-listening on higher resolution systems. The deficiencies will be definitely heard.

This sound quality has another reason. The DSP/DAC combo on MD players itself. Earlier versions were called Type-R, improved versions are called Type-S. Latter one can reconstruct sound very impressively. It can make SP and LP2 sound really good. It also has a digital amplification section. So, It's only converted to analog at the latest stage. Result is a very dynamic and clean sound. Especially if you convert to ATRAC from CD or any lossless source.

My Hi-Fi (Sony CMT-HX3) also has a 35W version of that DSP/Amplifier combo. It really sounds fantastic* with CD, MP3 and AC3. Didn't try ATRAC, but it won't disappoint I presume.

Sony's higher end systems and DSPs are a work of art. They sound clean, crisp and detailed. They can sing through a pair of good headphones or through 2x85W behemoths. This is why they're timeless and regarded highly. With just Bass & Treble settings, it beats a lot of presumably higher end portable players.

A similar sound quality was present in Creative's Muvo^2. It was plain enjoyable to listen. Apple's iPods famously use Burr Brown DACs but, the sound was too flat and dull in the earlier versions, lacking punch and energy. They fixed it after iPhone 5.

TL;DR: Sony's DSP/DAC/Amp stuff makes any well designed audio codec shine. ATRAC can store dynamics very well. This is why being a Hi-Fi company pays in the portable space.

*: I have a more conventional, but vastly higher powered system. This small guy is not a match for it, but for a small hi-fi it really hits above its league. If you scale this design up (to 80+ watts) with proper speakers, I'm sure that it'll make a lot of more expensive systems sweat.

Funny how the Myanmar coup gets so much coverage in the west and the one in Bolivia was not even reported as a coup even. But perhaps it was because the indigenous non-white leader Evo Morales (over 50 percent vote) was overthrown and replaced by the white minority (5 percent vote). Media in the West used terms like political crisis or Evo Morales ouster or he flew to Mexico etc.... Media that flat out ignored calling it a definitional coup included the BBC, The Economist, NY Times, Washington Post etc... The same form of lies was also in their coverage of the coup by the military junta in Chile which they refused to call a coup at that time as well.

Perfect - you'd be someone we wanted to hire!

But seriously, if you are in a business that has been around a while (20-30 year range) and likes folks to stay a long time - you just are not as interested in hiring the type of folks who want to set off bidding wars, drag out offers, counteroffers, job hop etc.

If the candidate is great, can always just say, would love to talk through an offer that would work for you. If they are reasonable - bingo - everyone is happy. Again though, these offers end up with a short expiration so I can get to next person if you don't want position after all that.

But I also pull down posting pretty promptly, do a quick 5 minute phone screen with lots of folks right away (same or next day after application) etc. so they can move on too.
I'm sorry, but if I see "high security" followed by instructions to do "curl|sh", I have a hard time taking anything else seriously...
I think you mean if you are willing to buy it regularly without sampling. We bought a few brands prior to our current buying pattern.

I am not willing to buy milk without sampling. Currently we have two that we like. Basically, one has extra fat added, but the other comes in a reusable (literally return for reuse) glass bottle. If only I could get both.

It does, the article and results contradict the title. I'm not sure that "lightweight" purely can be capture by memory usage either.
>If the application does 10k concurrent things, 100mb might be negligible.

When you think about memory in quantities of 1,10,100,1000 million units, a few hundred MB makes a big difference (e.g. Android devices).
> Returning looks nice, though! Particularly that it can return "one result row for each database row that is deleted, inserted, or updated" rather than just one.

That… seems normal? Returning just one row would make no sense, how would even a trivial `RETURNING id` work otherwise?
Whether or not Ivermectin turns out to be an effective treatment is irrelevant to the assessment of whether this particular study is good evidence for that or even a good example of a metastudy. Nor, of course, does the existnce of good-quality evidence redeem bad-quality. (I'll take a moment here to point out that none of the major public health authorities (who are basing their opinion on those very studies) think there is yet sufficient evidence to recommend Ivermectin for this use.

You just described the internet I've been using for almost 30 years, split across various online forums, including this one. Couldn't agree more. I've managed to find a good handful of very high signal to noise Reddit topics too. G+ was good while it lasted.

The trick is to have specific interests you care about and track down that community. They're out there. The encouraging thing is my kinds have found their own communities online and among friends without my help. They use Discord, Twitch, a bit of instagram and such. They're tech savvy geeks though, if somewhat differently geeky to myself. They know what they're interested in and look for that because most of mass culture is just occasionally amusing background noise to them. I'm very encouraged.

I often see people bemoaning the passing of the old internet, but for me it's all still out there and thriving. Several new layers of it have developed too. It's just not the only, or 'biggest' internet anymore.
No, it is anti-targeted propaganda.
First: I am technical, and there are still technical articles (or conversations) that leave me in the dust. I was reading about advanced memory management techniques the other day and it was very apparent I was out of my depth.

So it's a spectrum, not a switch. You will never understand all of them. But you can increase the proportion.

My suggestion would be to just give yourself permission to play around. Look something up on wikipedia---when it gets boring or hard, stop. Install python on your personal machine. Now install another version. Now you hate pip, and you too are a Real Engineer.

Trick is avoiding the temptation to work hard. "Courageous play" is the phrase to keep in mind.
This kind of organisation is quite common. Egypt is nice example where the military owns a lot of industry. In Iran the Revolutionary Guards also have a business wing.

These are really hard to sanction because in case of sanctions it is usually the military who controls the smuggling.

In Iran is pretty clear that Revolutionary Guard is engaged in that can of activity. Sanction joke legitimate private business, while government military owned buissness insulate themselves as much as they and use it to cut out competition.

Listening to KPop in a country where it is not a major genre, might still be counterculture. Think back to the 1960s and 1970s: a lot of the American rock 'n' roll even then was curated, but those young people in the Soviet Union, say, or Morocco who started listening to it where definitely seen as a counterculture within their own country.
We do want to build for small businesses and merchants. We do actually have many of them, work with a lot of local bike dealers, auto shops, small electronics stores and they are happy they can offer financing to their customers. If they don't have an ecommerce or website we give them a magic link that they can send their customers through WhatsApp/Facebook.
I love older high-end technology. For a couple of decades my stereo receiver was a Sony STR-7800SD. Absolute top of the line from the late 1970s, built like a tank, and component level repairable (the one time it needed fixing - a custom Sony part no less) parts were still available two decades after the thing was new.

Got it at a garage sale for a song in the early 1990s.

Given away since. I don't do stereo components any more, just listen with bluetooth headphones from a smartphone like everyone else.
> it wasn't even a proper attempt at overthrowing the government

It was a difference of competence, not intent, and even an incompetent attempt poses grave dangers. John Hinkley Jr. didn't make a "proper" attempt to assassinate Ronald Reagan, but he paralyzed James Brady and -- despite not firing a single shot on target, just as "embarrassing" as any of the Capitol rioters -- came very very close to killing the president.

this was an interesting point until,

> "I would argue that society now is substantially more just than it was for most of human history, and consequently this reflects back on the sort of counter-culture that exists."

that's a pretty broad claim, implying that the current counterculture is necessarily unjust because our current society is so relatively just. it's really difficult, likely impossible, to show how the justice delta is irrefutably positive now (not to mention the cutural-to-countercultural delta is negative). this instead likely merits an examination of perceptions and biases, especially of dichotomous reasoning, leading to that belief.
Thanks for this video, this is the one I link to when asked for a Babel demo.
Prop 16 was a repeal of a previous amendment to the state constitution that effectively banned Affirmative Action in the state for public positions.

Basically, if Prop 16 passed, various public sector jobs would be able to consider race/sex/whatever when looking to hire.

That's technically a double-edged sword. As while it allows for things like Affirmative Action, it also allows for discrimination based on those attributes as well.

So I can see a perfectly reasonable reason while progressives would also be wary about passing Prop 16.
Yeah, be careful with that.

You also need to worry about soil salinization, where irrigated land becomes less productive.
I recently used SQLite in my side project [1]. Here's what I learned from using it:

* Shaving the overhead of network calls for queries sped up my site significantly.

* Most CI/CD providers include SQLite in their base linux images and setup in local envs is easy as well. Running tests against the actual database is simple.

* Replication is not available out of the box. To share a database with multiple instances of your app you will have to use a shared storage volume or some of the available solutions at [2][3][4], but they each come with their caveats.

Not a good reason. Whenever I hear or read something about a group allowing, being silent in face of an event like that, I remember Srebrenica massacre [1]

I clearly remember how Aung San Suu Kyi defends Myanmar from accusations of genocide in UN [2]. She and her government are as much party to the genocide as those who pulled the triggers. I hope I live long enough to see the day they are brought to justice.

Says who? Says you. Based on what?

I hear this sentiment a lot, and its proponents usually don't spend any thought on disproving other views. Such as, maybe it's better to have everyone motivated well, instead of having a few people excessively motivated while the rest trudges along.

Maybe it depends on the field? Do you need superstars or are you only as fast as you slowest team mate?

And maybe, but I barely dare say it out loud here, maybe compensation has less to do with performance and more to do with who eats dinner/cracks a beer with whom. In this case, how would the motivation argument even hold?

I don't know which one is true. I wouldn't try to sound too convinced of any one of these unless I knew the situation of the business very well.
ZX Spectrum, anyone?
You could make that case, but I do think that they ceased to be "ideals to work toward" before people started recognizing them as such. I.E. it was only after "colorblindness" advocates started using the term to shut down discussions of issues facing minorities that people started calling out "colorblind" rhetoric as disingenuous.
The answer you'll almost certainly get in rebuttal is, oh, that's not extremism. And that brings us back to this cental question of who decides. I feel like a large percentage of people with strong opinions about censorship in this long posting/thread have a very limited historical memory / education. They want to mash on the Ban button without really understanding the implications for all of us who are not extremists.
You have to specify a whole lot more context if you talk about executing code "locally" vs. executing "from a web page".

JavaScript usually gets JIT'ed into machine language code. That code gets executed locally. There are usually a bunch of differences in terms of form and restrictions around that code, but this might well be a case where most of those differences don't matter.

Or in other words, browsers are just compilers/interpreters like any other, albeit very hardened ones because of the large exposure of untrustworthy code they are subject to. But if an attack fundamentally skirts around sandboxes, the browser sandbox won't help.

It's Turing machines all the way down.

Running a public service like this is a genuine commitment to fight spam, malware, phishing, cp, and various other oogy boogies simply because if you don't people will take advantage and your links will start getting flagged as sketchier and sketchier.

Yeah. Something we've discovered is that merchant fraud is more common with smaller businesses, so that's a challenge. There's also a natural concentration of merchants. Like Affirm drives 30% of their revenue just from Peloton. We will see something similar.

> As the original article itself pointed out, "hate speech" is an amorphous term that can refer to any socially unacceptable speech. Actual "hate speech rules" and "downvotes" are merely different mechanisms for enforcing social stigma and censure.

No, you're blurring things to the point of meaninglessness. For instance, "first post" competitions would clearly be unacceptable speech here, yet I doubt anyone in good faith would actually call such posts hate speech.

Also, downvotes are an opaque mechanism. Did your post get downvoted because you said something widely regarded as offensive, are this guy [1], or because you just had too many typos? You can speculate, but that's not very good basis for self reflection. However, if you're mad you can't post speech that (for instance) directly attacks some race as being inferior [2], you have a pretty clear thing to reflect on.

I prefer it over pandas for joins etc too. My workflow is (1) do the simple stuff in Python using pandas (2) for some of the complex stuff, I just start creating sqlite tables.

> If you want to cut the voltage by 60%, from 120V to 48V, then you’ll have to triple the thickness of all of the conductors in your walls.

And that's not even getting into 240V appliances like dryers, ovens, cooktops, and (increasingly) EV chargers.

The (e.g.) newly released VW ID.4 can charge at up to 11 kW, which at 240V, would use 45.8A, but (IIRC) you can only use up to 80% of a circuit, so you would need wiring that could handle ~60A. At -48V, we're talking >200A: those are some thick cables (or a busbar).

So you need high-voltage (i.e. >48V) into the home anyway.
