My take on this is that Nvidia knew fine well that their code would be broken. And in short order too.

I reckon this was just lip-service to consumers, and possibly their investors, that they're "doing something about those bad cryptominers that are making us loads of money".

Plus, whenever something is marketed as unbreakable, I picture guys reading it saying "Oh really? Challenge accepted!"
"That is a big problem."

No, it's actually by design. When I write free software (I don't do it a lot), I don't expect anything of my users. There's no obligation on the user, and there's no obligation on from the author. That is the whole point. Other people may have other motivations, but for me, it's always been, ah, maybe this will help someone else out...

Also, a very important point: cooperation and competition are not opposed to one another. They are equally valid and often cooperation arises from competition.
Are there rollouts that don't focus on the elderly?
Survive, yes. Thrive, no. The USA is an expensive place.
There are more silicon valleys, like Tel-Aviv or Shenzen, but arguably the Bay Area is the only one merit-based. Good luck getting funded at the other two as a foreigner.
In the US at least they absolute have been doing the oldest first and then lowering the age bracket slowly as more vaccines have ramped up.
The world has far better uptake of HTTPS than of DKIM. If DKIM was as widely used as HTTPS, then Google likely would indicate when a message was not signed.
Very useful, very easy to manage
Humans have relatively little genetic variation, you overstate things with the weird analogy to operating systems.
Because it would be political suicide to do so. Many people in this country love big companies and build their entire identities and personalities around brands like Tesla or Apple.
> Further down the article acknowledges that indeed only about 40% of salt is used for deicing roads

Isn't that the main use then? The article doesn't say the majority is used for deicing. It says it's the main use. Unless there is another use at 41%, then this is the main use.
In some areas they used to use cinders from the coal plants. They are black and soak up more heat from the sun and contain salts.
Why don't you just get a dedicated "virtual" phone number for this purpose? It's not expensive.

Skype is an obvious choice, but there are many other providers.

Then you have a stable number and can read SMS via app web UI.

I switched to the same method a few years ago. It's useful even if you don't travel much, just to not tie 2FA to your phone and for not giving all those services your real number.
Everyone has their standards of propriety. Some things are inappropriate on Twitter, while in some places Twitter itself is inappropriate. I think it's a good lesson.
There certainly was a large effort to reach the elderly first. For a host of reasons though the population was not vaccinated 100%. Issues with scheduling appointments, getting people to clinics, doubts over safety, etc. At some point the number of doses still coming in is increasing but the number of those for example 70+ began to dwindle and so it has to opened up so these doses can be put in people’s arms.
The law only has provision for taking down the illegal content, and if you respond with a counterclaim then it is supposed to but restored. Twitter, Youtube et alii have taken it upon themselves to suspend accounts and make it very hard to get things restored.

The DMCA was written to shield them from incurring costs.(see OCILLA) They have wholly decided to operate in a realm outside the law in conjunction with copyright holders to actively seek out infringing material on their platform, to the point of limiting fair use and false positives.

"To qualify for the § 512(c) safe harbor, the OSP must not have actual knowledge that it is hosting infringing material or be aware of facts or circumstances from which infringing activity is apparent. It is clear from the statute and legislative history that an OSP has no duty to monitor its service or affirmatively seek infringing material on its system."

Especially when the EU’s contract was signed before the UK’s.
...Aren't they, though? At least in my country/state they are.
It'd be interesting to see a comparison between the various ways roads can be made safer for driving in wintry conditions. Plowing is clearly important, but putting down salt vs sand and gravel vs beat juice vs other solutions.

I want to see the performance of various types of vehicles on a test course when using different types of tires (all season vs winter tires at least) and the different salt-alternatives. For the cost of the alternatives, do any of them get close to the performance of salt?

Obviously salt is the cheapest, otherwise it wouldn't be in such high use. Maybe the price of salt going up will create a viable market for other solutions? Maybe some environmental concerns about salt use plus the cost going up will spurn development or cost reductions of competing solutions?

Markets being manipulated isn't always a bad thing. Sometimes people realize they don't need the thing whose market is being manipulated any longer as there's viable alternatives.
I don't know BalenaOS, but if it's yocto based, using this bbclass might help you out:

https://gist.github.com/weber-martin/fa9ca5bdceffc9504175f6e...

add "extra_license" to your IMAGE_CLASSES_append in your (machine, distro) config.

add EXTRA_COPY_LIC_ROOTFS = "1" to your liking.

You will end up with a directory of licenses, including license texts, of the packages you have in your image.

Yeah you will have to build your image yourself, but isn't that $trivial with yocto (FSVO $trivial ?)
> I'm reminded of when an old C hand tells me that Rust will never replace C because it's too complex, brittle, and frustrating for the kinds of applications C programmers use C for. I always tell them: Rust isn't aimed at you -- it's aimed at your replacement.

I don't think this is a fair comparison. Emacs is a specific piece of software where implementation details are part of the offering. I don't care if parts of the Linux kernel get rewritten in Rust, I have never (extensively) looked at its code. I'll like it as much.

Being able to effortlessly examine and change other people's code is a big thing for me in Emacs. Many big Emacs users make money programming in Lisps too, it's not just some vague preference they're not willing to act on.

To implement a real mode, you WILL have to call elisp code all the time. Emacs does almost nothing asynchronously. Every tiny thing in Emacs triggers a lot of elisp that assumes sequential execution. You cannot do all the hard work in an isolated context and call Emacs once you're done. Most of Emacs performance issues have to do with latency, not long running computations. With libgccjit, native-comp Elisp is consistently 4-5 times faster (yes, really), but the actual perceived improvement is much less. Can hardly tell a difference. Emacs still hangs at all the same stuff and there's no easy fix. You'd have to completely change how Emacs works at which point it may as well be something different. I don't see how this kind of a thing can incrementally take over.

If you want to make my life better find me a way to fix long lines or get rid of GC pauses without breaking everything.

Or 42 000 people dead in traffic accidents (in the US year 2020), most of this preventable, eg by middle of the road separation barriers or separate bike lanes.

Most of the public doesn't care or understand, neither do the politicians. Not interesting to fix because no one intentionally did anything bad? And, spending time on this won't win any elections?
When I lived in the hills in NZ, the road maintenance crews dropped grit on areas prone to ice, and we all carried chains, and blankets, just in case.
Now this is a good perspective.
They can’t bring in new customers but replacements, upgrades and downgrades for existing customers are allowed.
This is a magic vs. no-magic thing. TCO is a magical thing that implicitly changes the behavior of code with the same syntax. The code says the stack should blow up, but the compiler saves you from it.

I'll side with the Python teaching that explicit is better than implicit. If the code says the stack will blow, then the compiler/runtime should not try to avoid that.
Someone very close to me is a “long hauler” and the quality of life effects have been horrible. A young and healthy person, now dealing with fatigue, blood clotting, and a host of other uncomfortable and troubling issues. Throughout, medical professionals have been struggling to give people like this answers as to what exactly is happening to them — and the common refrain is “we don’t knew enough about it yet, but we’re seeing a lot of this.”

I’ll let the eventual studies give the percentages. But my (personal, non professional) take on this is that long-hauler experiences are a LOT more common then people realize, have been fairly ignored while people have fixated on the death count, and have big possible implications for quality of life for younger, otherwise healthy people.

You should trust the system and the process. No, AZ does not cause blood clots. It's being investigated for it. And even if it does cause, you should take into account the probability. Which seems to be extremely low compared to your chances of succumbing to covid. (Of course, the latter is a function of a lot of things, but if someone makes a claim that "AZ cuases bloog clots", I'm not sure if they ever looked into estimating and then comparing the said probabilities.)
Agree on the first part, disagree on the second one. One of the largest reasons for the reduced deliveries is, IMHO, the additional orders the EU was pressured into by the public and media. Because manufacturers, incl. Biontech/Pfizer, had to increase capacities which let to short term capacity reductions as they closed down factories and rebuild them.
When 'eradicated' species bounce back with a vengeance
I agree that where strict typing exists it should have the ability to get out of the way as is with languages that support type inference.

Personally I've never found type mismatches to be particularly a large problem, as you can still support input validation where needed, generally at some application message boundary like an http request/response, and the type of bugs caused by mismatched types are easy to diagnose and test for.

The class of bugs that to me are much more difficult to fix unlike type mismatches are not immediately visible or do not give descriptive messages for example race conditions, memory leaks, logical errors, etc...

> A supermarket in Brussels specialising in British treats

A supermarket purely dependent on British treats... I can attest that all other supermarkets are fully stocked and haven't noticed the slightest of Brexit.
EMA retracted what was said and is evaluating the problem. The WHO doesn't want this event to spread to other countries, because the vaccine seems safe, this might be a production problem.

Should be investigated, and if it's a bad batch shouldn't be given to people.
Backpacking finally got me motivated to tie knots. On a single trip I had two janky plastic connectors break leading to some very awkward tying and repositioning of gear. This got me thinking about what people did in the wilderness before everything had its own little custom plastic latch, and the so obvious mind-blowing conclusion that they knew their knots and just used rope.

Knots are kind of like manual transmission. It's a skill that everybody used to have until it was replaced by a more convenient technology that nobody had to learn.

So for me, the realization that with a little knowledge I could obsolete an entire classification of annoying and breakable connectors got me to finally sit down and study knots.

No, but purchasing it effectively will. If I create a software-license rental NFT which you have to refill periodically, you won't be able to force me to provide full coverage to that software. Even if you purchased it from someone else without being told the rules - the NFT encodes them and you'd be expected to read it and know the limitations on your claim.

If I minted an NFT that said for every period you paid you could collect royalties from my art then you would have a valid contractual claim after purchasing it, even if I didn't make the deal with you initially.

If you buy a second-hand concert-ticket NFT the requirements of attendance will still need to be met before you can use it.

>I recently ran Netscape 4 for the giggles and +90% of the web no longer functions as I could not load the pages due to the protocols no longer being supported.

Netscape 4 - some minor version - had a bug where if you had a paragraph inside of a list item inside of a div inside of a div it crashed the browser. (I may be misremembering the bug but it was something ridiculous like this)

it was hard to debug for markup that was generated via XSL-T.

So anyway even if the protocols still worked, I don't think you can really expect it to work too much.
In reality he lived basically at the edge of town, not in the middle of the woods and his experiment was short lived.

To your point, I would argue that your moral responsibility is at least to break even, which you can’t do in isolation because your parents in most cases sacrificed a huge chunk of their lives and resources raising you.

Is it important that the no connection message be an HTML document treated like others in the web browser? If browsers used to model it that way and you saw behaviors corresponding to the switching of a webpage, it was arbitrary too, and in this case, would cause more disruption.

The fact that nobody currently follows Shakespeare’s business model indicates that it’s not viable any more.
Many small and medium businesses also have been hurt by the monopolies. I don’t think it’s political suicide, and the winds seem to be shifting back towards anti monopoly.
I won't argue this specific case but, in general, terms like "most," "about half," a "significant majority," and so forth can be more readable for a general audience than spouting off a bunch of precise numbers (which may not really be that accurate anyway).

Eh, kinda. They are obvious modulo a lot of things, such as what definition of tail call your compiler is using and what optimizations it performs.

The following function:

return 1 + rec(n - 1);

Aaron Gordon at Vice gives some explanations - most important cost-related bit seems to be they weight upfront cost a lot more than amortized cost, and non-electric does better on that front.

Well, in this case it looks like NVIDIA themselves broke the restrictions - or at least they are not present in the beta drivers.
I agree that there is so much variation in people’s reaction to the vaccine. My 99 year old Dad had very little negative reaction. I felt shitty for one day after my second vaccination. My Dentist has been missing about 1/3 of work days, periodically feeling very poorly for a few days. Most of my friends and family had just mild reactions.

I am in general skeptical about some vaccines, especially loading infants up on many vaccines all at once. However, with COVID-19, I think the general risk is worth keeping the global economy from complete collapse (if that is even possible).
What published data are you referring to? Because the event that's causing this is in no way within the statistical references most of the British media is pumping out - which is what you're talking about when you say "blood cloths".

It's not "just blood cloths", it's the type of cloths, where they are located, with low pallet count, with more incidence on a younger age group, localized in an hospital staff.
Weight, complexity, cost, lack of freedom of paint color/wrap, and complexity/time/cost of repairs after minor collisions??
What type of immunosuppressant were you prescribed? I recently took prednisone for a little over a week and ended up with some nerve issues afterwards, but not as bad as typical small-fiber neuropathy. The symptoms still haven't resolved.
Indeed, I were once skeptical (remembering EEVBlog's Solar Roadways series) but it really seems a good deal. Short commutes in cities can probably be covered. And a killer feature to me: if you ever get stranded somewhere without power, you at least have the option to wait a day or two to charge and get to somewhere nearby with power (around 3 miles/day for ioniq, 10 miles/day average for sion according to the articles).

Of course, smaller cars will probably have a better surface-energy consumption ratio, I don't expect to make much of a range difference for larger and utility vehicles. It's something I'd add to offroad vehicles just for the cool factor (of independence), even if the range added per day isn't significant in that case.
Anyone would say that a leak is doctored...

Even the Clinton team tried to say the Wikileaks were doctored, despite the vast majority of them having a DKIM signature confirming their authenticity.

The ball is in EMA’s field now: they have to demonstrate the leaks are doctored.

There’s pretty damning information in there, it’s in their interest to demonstrate it’s false.

Wow, I am pretty much exactly of the same view (except for using Python, I really don't like Python, been burned too much by its constant problems with using system libs that only ever seem to work on "my machine" - Groovy is a lot more reliable for scripts IMO)... but I do use Kotlin sometimes, but with Java 17 likely bringing sealed classes/interfaces to Java, I am less and less excited about using Kotlin.
