> But I seriously miss inertia scrolling.

Maybe I'm mistaken, but this is just when you scroll, release your fingers, and it slows to a stop instead of stopping instantly, right? I have that out of the box here on Linux. Firefox + X + touchpad with the synaptics driver.

I had thought this was what "Use smooth scrolling" did it in the Firefox preferences.

Edit: I also just checked and I have this in my terminal (Konsole), text editor (KWrite), and PDF viewer (Okular) so this is at the very least not a Firefox only thing. It feels exactly the same in each application. I bet it's a feature of the touchpad driver.
This holds in FAANG too from my experience.
Things only have economic value because humans want those things. Capital doesn't have any desires or drives on its own, owners of capital do. Capital owners are humans. Whatever you might say about capitalism, the idea that it doesn't serve humans or can somehow function without humans is just totally wrong. Capitalist economies aren't just human-centric, they are literally collections of human wants and needs.

> Please do not spread potentially dangerous health misinformation and false hopes, even in good faith. If there was such a protocol that worked, the world would know.

Just because you have convinced yourself that legitimate treatments for Covid could never possibly be suppressed because they are not profitable, does not mean that is actually the case. Your attempts at ideological discipline disguised as "just trying to keep the forum free of dangerous misinformation" are not going to work with me.

The pattern of "HCQ didn't work, therefore Covid is untreatable and any other suggested therapies are quackery" has certainly gotten a lot of mileage since HCQ flamed out as a standalone treatment, but it is baldly anti-scientific thinking. Some other good signs of motivated, un-scientific reasoning are peppered throughout the blog post you linked (which by the way was written long before the release of numerous RCTs demonstrating ivermectin's effectiveness), such as frequent use of the term "Covidiots" or using the Surgisphere researchers (who as far as I can tell were grifters paid to discredit HCQ) to tar ivermectin because they mentioned it once.

The NIH finally had to withdraw its recommendation against ivermectin in mid-January. Of course they're still maintaining the line of "there's insufficient studies to recommend its use and we're certainly not going to fund any!" but the trend is continuing in this direction and RCTs are continuing to pile up showing its effectiveness in fending off severe cases when taken early.

Also, good news! HCQ has actually been shown to be effective in combination with other drugs like bromhexine which block the virus entry pathways that HCQ misses. Perhaps not as significant now that far better treatments like fluvoxamine and ivermectin are out there, but it still show that HCQ is a far cry from "snake oil." https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7175911/

> Between one in six and one in three people, to be precise. A "little bit more" indeed.

Is it your serious contention that up to one in three people who are infected with SARS-CoV-2 develop long haul symptoms?

> 76% of hospitalised patients still have symptoms after 6 months.

Yes, and in how many of those cases are those symptoms debilitating? What percentage of people infected are even hospitalized in the first place?

There's definitely this, but it's more of a thing that I'd expect Deloitte or a consultancy to want. There's a huge amount of traction here: undiscovered gems, trends in adoption of new technology, etc.

There's also a lot of things they aren't tapping. Just from a security POV alone, a "dependabot for Docker" would probably do a lot for the ecosystem, but hasn't yet happened.
Layers of subflooring don't all need to be structural, but they do need to tolerate heavy foot traffic, plus occasional heavy items rolling on dollys. The more give it has, the more it has to be able to return to its original state, which rotted wood isnt usually great at.
It has taken me over a year to wrangle my inbox into shape (unsubscribing from all marketing email that isn't spam/gets through google's spam filter) and I would say anecdotally that my incoming email has decreased by at least 90%. I go multiple days without receiving emails now.
I respect that WebForms had a decent concept for RAD, copying VB6’s “drag and drop components, write glue-logic to make them work together”, the problem is that you had to give up a lot of control over the generated HTML, which was a huge problem because the generated HTML was awful, like “1998’s HTML in 2006”-awful, to put it succinctly. WebForms supported item-templates, but using them was hard, and you still couldn’t override other HTML until Control Adapters came out, and even then it was a lot of work and very, very brittle. Oh, and so many third-party components embedded ancient versions of jQuery. It was a mess.

Other complaints about WebForms weren’t inherent to its architecture and should have been corrected early on, such as the lack of testability and over-use of [ThreadLocal] storage, and the nigh-impossibility of running WebForms outside of IIS, but these were never properly addressed by Microsoft, instead we had ugly band-aids like “BaseHttpRequest” and “HttpRequestWrapper”. Le sigh.
It is my understanding Nvidia allowed cryptominers to pull up semis and load them up with GPUs in exchange for about a billion dollars.

My guess is this was accidentally on purpose (see also the recent shareholder lawsuit; Nvidia did win that one btw).
If someone was successfully silenced, then I guess by definition you wouldn't hear their complaint.

What you can hear, are the near misses, like people employed by an institution that took a vote about whether to fire them, and decided that it wouldn't. Or people who took a hit and recovered, like they were fired but found another job later... maybe a less paying one, but they can still afford an internet connection.

But this is just the tip of the iceberg. I assume that for each person who spoke bluntly and lost or nearly-lost their job, there are at least ten people who decided to keep quiet.

> said something divisive or not clear enough so as to cause a public uproar

That's in my opinion quite sad that being "not clear enough" is a punishable offense these days. In the past, people were less hysterical... well, probably the hysterical ones were just less interconnected.

Like, seriously, if someone says a genuinely stupid thing once, would you fire them from their job? This seems completely crazy to me. Did we completely lose the ability to forgive / forget / ignore?
Sort of. It's the exact same thing as Nvidia optimus. Linux calls it DRI-PRIME or PRIME offload. Get it =P ?

Big, display-less GPU renders frame, image is copied into VRAM of smaller GPU with a display. Smaller GPU draws image to screen.

Most of the gamer laptops do this. There's no physical link between the display and the big GPU. I believe the mobile cards enable a second DMA engine that is usually soft locked on GeForce to handle the transfer.

I have a Atari Inc 800XL (1983) and an 800 (1979) downstairs that still work great. And an Atari Corp 130XE (1985?) with dead DRAM that doesn't, despite being newer and in much better visual condition. Apparently a very common failure. The XEs were a "rock bottom pricing" innovation from the Tramiels, after creating Atari Corp from some of the ashes of Atari Inc. Cheaper components and my impression is they are not of the same quality.

But I was an Atari ST user back in the 80s, so the case design has some nostalgia value to me.
We had a few many years ago that were denied on aesthetic grounds and then approved after redesign (I was president of my HOA then). But then my state passed a Solar Access law that makes HOA covenants against solar panels unenforcible, so the problem solved itself.

To my neighbors who don't like solar panels because they "decrease property values" (the favorite bugaboo of HOAs), I reply that in 10 years any house that does not have solar panels will be perceived as deficient, especially in the southwestern US.

I knocked together a quick Collab for this; feel free to clone and work with it.

The first cell is the model I was building, I finally got it into reasonable shape. It comes from the published national statistics for death rates. (Comments welcome, I just sketched this to help me think about the numbers here. No claim on this actually being right.)

The second cell is my attempt at rendering your initial calc, though I've not folded in the base rate changes. We can go into the weeds there but looking at the results I don't think we need to; my calcs naively attribute all the blood clot cases to the vaccine and still give COVID as being worse than the vaccinations by a factor of 400-800.

The way you're thinking about base rates sounds right to me though, and it does sound like the best guess is we're at something like 4x above base rate.

Given that I implemented my model with a completely different approach and we're both within a factor of 2 (if I've rendered yours correctly) I think we're in the right ballpark here, at least for "Fermi calculation" level of completeness.

I would expect that most planes fly on specific "routes", leaving a lot of area uncovered. Do you have any solution for this problem?
Sorry if I'm missing anything but how does this support your original comment? The benefit of starting the execution sooner is the same as the benefit of starting the image rendering sooner. Maybe what you were trying to say was that scripts are more important than images for a web app (which I would agree).

If "script execution is much more expensive than image rendering" it makes compression even less relevant for scripts. If it takes 2s to execute a script the 0.1s gain on the wire is negligible.

Another way to look at a land tax (instead of as a wealth tax) is that it's sort of "user fee". You're paying society "rent" (a land tax was called ground rent by Adam Smith) for depriving the commons of that land.

Typically, land value tax is based on the rental value of land rather than the market value, so it's even more in line with this model.

We want to move to a society where land is not treated as wealth, but rather as a resource to use (because that leads to less land speculation, and more productive use of land), so this model is fine.
Yep. There are very few countries that have a huge land area with extremely remote population and a postal service with a universal service mandate for all its citizens (going so far as to run daily mule trains down the Grand Canyon to service to the Havasupi nation[1])

You're assuming you can read balance in a dirty way, but it seems like you would call an async GetBalance() method that could not read the value of balance until transfer has fully completed.

Apache and *nix, for some applications LAMP was a game-changer for rapid web solutions for me, back in the day.

Started with FreeBSD for my servers and box, then GNU/Linux on my boxes and laptops, as the hardware support got better on GNU/Linux. Apache, but really the whole stack, what a 10x!

No clicking, no checkboxes, no go to this or that website to download, just run a command or a shell script and pull in software you need, configs, etc ...

Of course I wish we had Lisp machines, but this is what I have to work with. Having *nix, learning it over 30 years ago, and it's still at the core of what I do. So much time saved over the years not re-learning the fads. I shudder to think how much time I would waste on the other platforms and their quirks, planned obsolescence, etc.

Was saved relatively early (enough), an iMac I got as a gift & tried to update to the next OS got fried, was perhaps a bug, some say malevolent design by apple to get consumers to buy new machines. Don't care, done with that platform.
Though I did buy an iPad 2 for peanuts, to read on. It's cheap because people can't update it anymore, so there's that.

I suppose I saved about a year of man-hours at this point in life, just using the *nix stack that just keeps on truckin'

If you’re in the Javascript/Typescript world Yarn 2 does a really good job with local packages, and letting you depend on them, and optionally allowing you to push for soundness in your repo. (vendoring your deps, tooling, and declaring all dependencies).

Building on that dependency graph and soundness in Yarn 2, I built yarn.build [0] which works in a similar way to all the monorepo build tools.

It builds your packages based on their dependency graph, skips whats already built, and has a bundle command for creating a zip ready for lambda/docker/etc

Nonsense. It doesn't take anything more than an old netbook to "optimize" a set of floats that were already arranged as a series of linked coordinates in a couple of seconds. The typical desktop can easily handle several thousands of points in less than the time it takes to punt them across the internet and back.

A full page PDF of text with a few thousand letters specified as TTF outlines prints in realtime on pretty much everything while being rasterized into far more data than the cutting instructions for a plotter with a knife, and Adobe isn't grabbing at wallets for the privilege of doing so.

I think you are on to something. But I don't think the day X will ever come. It is more like the divide between the best software and the average is going to grow and grow.

We will see the amplitude of (critical) failures increase further and their occurrence frequency rising as well. It is and will continue to be evaluated statistically: The cost of actually fixing them vs. the cost of just letting them run wild.
Oh, like RTX Voice - which 'requires' a 20-series GPU as a minimum requirement. Of course after editing the installer it works just fine on pretty much any GPU with cuda cores.
I have been working for a few years now on Exomind[1], a personal knowledge management tool that takes the form of a unified inbox in which you can have your emails, tasks, notes and bookmarks organized into collections. I have an iOS and a web/electron client at the moment, and a simple Chrome & Safari extension for bookmarking. I plan to eventually add files (blobs), definitions and support extensibility via WASM applications.

Its backend (Exocore[2]) is built on top of a personal / private blockchain and is made from the ground up to be hosted in a semi-decentralized fashion on your own personal devices (your computer, raspberry pi, a cloud instance, etc.). It is written in Rust and has iOS, C and Web (WASM) clients.

It has very rough edges, but I'm using it daily to organize my life. It has also been my learning playground to improve my Rust skills over the last two years (it was on another tech stack before).

Unfortunately I learned Delphi

Afterwards you could not take the other languages seriously

Like comparing two strings for equaltiy, strA and strB.

In Delphi, you write: strA = strB

In Java: strA != null && strA.equals(strB)

Delphi just did everything better

Nobody has "black" or "white" skin. I'm no word historian but I'm willing to bet that the association of white/black with positive/negative is far older than the slang usage to refer to skin colors; certainly more deeply baked in the language. I wouldn't even be surprised if the metaphorical meanings informed the skin color usage, due to racism. And you'll never eliminate that metaphor from the language, not without doing excessive cultural violence[0]. If you have a problem with the overlap, better to deprecate "black" and "white" as skin color terms at all.

> 2. Copy a file into a container with docker-compose, without requiring Swarm

I'm not quite sure I see why you can't get by with "docker cp" and need compose to resolve the container.

But I also were unaware of the Docker sub commands "cp" and "commit".

I think I prefer building containers and mounting config - but I see how the two could be abused, focusing on images rather than Dockerfile-s (and woe to the person that looses the carefully evolved Debian old-stable based base image that runs a mix of outdated oldstable packages and a few bits from current stable from two years ago when they were in testing, along with a custom build of node 13 and an outdated driver for a proprietary database...).

Not sure I believe it's a good idea, but now I know it's possible.

As far as I understand, they were logging the encrypted messages for a long time, but only had live access for a few weeks. My guess is they used this to intercept a large shipment (17+ ton of cocaine captured), and watch the communications after that to rapidly identify the players involved.

Sky phones were set up with dedicated sims, everything else but their app blocked. There's no telephone number, email adress or other id to identify users. The app also featured self-deleting messages and post-seizure remote wiping. Besides the phone, they required an expensive subscription.

If these phones keep showing up on suspects, only available via no questions asked dealers, and you can't get anything from the phones themselves, it's easier to get a court order to go after the service itself. If you can then log all encrypted messages on or near the servers, and see they're mostly going to Belgium/Netherlands, then you can try to read all messages. Either via decryption, or compromising update servers, or ...

Because there's no way to identify users besides reading the messages, they asked legitimate users to come forward so their data can be excluded from the investigation.
Virtual machines have been a huge win, and still are.

Spending 2-5 days setting up a development environment, then archiving a copy of the whole VM made some of the crappier setups usable. Back before rented software (including the OS) that meant one person could grind through the whole OS/tools/IDE/libraries stack and get something we could all use. I've broken software protection to make this work, because it's just such a huge productivity win.

Being able to have a whole test matrix worth of systems virtualised also helps. One place we interacted with MS-Office, so the matrix was Win95/98/Me/XP/2000 (etc), then three versions of Office {cries}. It would have been just unreasonable as a small company for us to have and maintain 2-3 copies of that matrix as physical machines.
Feeling basically neutral towards your employer (or nation) is probably how having reasonably aligned incentives feels at scale. If you were an hourly minimum wage worker for a large corporation, there's a good chance you'd spend a good part of your workday in a blind, passive-aggressive rage.
> A superposition of all n bit integers is no big deal

Is it? How do you do it? The papers I've seen so far shown that given enough measurements we can conclude that the qbits ware in superposition in many cases. I still haven't seen any way to have superposition of all numbers from 0 to 2^n.

What you're describing in the rest of your comment is solved by Shor's algorithm. It is quite straight-forward. If we can get the superposition as an input and have working quantum gates it would work.

Similar how all we need to draw a square with -1 area is to take a line segment with a length of i, the rest is simple.
Ah, fair. Yea, perhaps the capitalism we have tried is the closest that is practically possible.

I think we overweight how many people in society do not know what to do with cash. I think we may say that we believe they can do something better with it and sure perhaps, but it is bold to believe one knows what to do better with another's resources.
Personally I find it to be a nice blend of language features that I really enjoy. It's expressive and readable.

Horses also can learn to provide different value, just up to a threshold lower than that of humans. But humans still have a threshold.
