Very cool. The basic principle is that a conductive wire is coated in EL material. Those wires run one direction in the weave of the matrix -- lets call them columns. And then the other direction is another wire that is relatively flat that contacts against the EL material and lays nicely flat against the EL coated wire. The second set of wires lets call those rows. Since the rows are fairly transparent, when you apply a voltage between the column and row you form a voltage across the EL material and it lights up in that particular row / column intersection. That's how you address each pixel. The transparent electrodes are polyurethane ionic gel fibers that use a ionic material called EMIM-TFSI apparently.
Curious why this was downvoted. Was it because of the PS and PPS?
I haven't tried this, don't work for Amazon, and only just found out, but https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/graviton/ says that "Until June 30th 2021, all new and existing AWS customers can try the t4g.micro instances free for up to 750 hours per month". t4g.micro instances are Graviton, which is ARM64. Note that 31 days is only 744 hours. Buyer beware, though: https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/instance-types/ only says the free trial is until March 31, 2021.

Honestly, start by just asking him if he's interested. I got into programming on my own in the 1980s by playing with TRS-80s at school. Later I bought a TI-994a with paper route money. My parents certainly didn't disuade me, but didn't particularly push it either.

Kids have their own interests. You can support what they want to do or explore, but can't really make them interested in programming if they arent. There's no rule that says your kids will be interested in the same things you are.

I'm not saying travelers prevented success, nor that BC's response was perfect. I definitely don't believe that was the case, and could even point to specific decisions I believe were poor, but it would be getting off topic. What I'm saying is, BC's leadership made a conscious choice not to aim for 'COVID zero', due to the fact that there would always be a baseline number of imported cases, so it would never be possible to eliminate the virus to the extent that restrictions could be meaningfully relaxed, as they were in NZ. To me that choice makes sense, although I do feel they took it a bit too far; as cases started really going up over the winter I would have liked to have seen increased measures restricting gathering sooner. But I'm also not operating with all the information they are, so can only second guess so much.

As for the Atlantic provinces, they are quite a bit more isolated than BC is, despite, yes, also having a certain amount of necessary traffic. And I agree with you that there's likely some luck involved as well.
Ugh, no, this is simply not true.

There is a wide spectrum of news you can trivially read, from Fox to BBC to tons of small blogs.

If you want to be anywhere near Soviet levels, you want to eliminate all viewpoints except one. Until you do this, you are not even close.

>Rest assured, this is in our long term plan. Initially, we'll be bringing up ARM support as a dynamic code translation target architecture in the short term, as this is a relatively straightforward thing to add to our existing JIT. This work is already underway.
PCI compliance is a little different as it’s an industry standard and not a legal standard. Far less fear of prison time if you mess it up. That said it’s still way better to outsource all that worry.

The kernel page cache doesn't know better than databases themselves when it comes to what to cache. All high performance databases do this in user space, and they use AIO with direct IO or the latest io_uring to bypass the kernel page cache. Modern cloud (distributed) file systems do the same, including GFS: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_File_System

And speaking of io_uring, check this out to see how much improvement when copying without going through page cache: https://wheybags.com/blog/wcp.html
I’m a bit confused by the suite of API’s around Office ATM.

So my understanding is there’s a COM APIfor automating Office applications that seems to launch a headless version of the application, some sort of newer JavaScript API for interacting with Office365 applications, and if I recall correctly, some sort of COM API for actually extending the application which I assume is what the D-wrapper in this article is using.
I definitely want government to support onshoring items in the supply chain deemed to be of national critical importance.

How government does it? I don’t know.

I don’t think government should own chip fabs, but if local governments can entice sports teams to move with sweetheart deals, then national government can do the same to entice critical supply chain onshore.

That actually makes me sad: good automoderation tools are decades (plural, yes) old and yet most website haven't caught on the fact that you need some sort of ranking to filter out spam or bots.

Thing is, newspapers as their business model currently is, have zero incentives in having quality comments. Negative incentives actually. Journalism is 20% facts reporting, 80% comments and that's generous: comments are the cheapest to write, some news website/papers are closer to 99% comments. If you have quality comments by your readers, what are you selling then?

We need to move to a business model where facts reporting and facts checking (careful: talking about facts checking, not analysis checking) are the primary services that journalists would get paid for. Comments, even quality comments can be done through a good enough moderation system and a big enough community.

> There is substantial disagreement on the function of dreams. Some theories say it’s for strengthening weak memory associations, others say it’s for rehearsing dangerous situations. Some say they don’t have any function at all.

My favorite theory on dreams is that they help maintain the brain’s ability to generalize, just like a neural network has to deal with overfitting. The idea being, that the dream is supplying the brain’s neural network with noise injection to help it generalize.

I’ve been trying to use google shopping to help find niche products know of, but am unaware of all the stores selling them.

It’s absolutely terrible. It will outright ignore most search query filters even regular search will handle.
I agree that not storing keys is riskier, and it's not a risk that's mitigated even if it is a perfect uniform distribution because you can still have collisions. Maybe I don't understand the reasons for that design but personally I don't think it's a good design for a hash table. But even so the hash underlying it is a very good hash.

Big crush and smhasher give a good indication of uniform distribution, but nothing can guarantee no collisions because you're always going to have collisions it's always a possibility. Even if you have a perfect permutation of the 64 bit space, the minute you go beyond 64 bits of keys you're going to collide within 64 bits of hash.

By all the tests they run md5 is a much poorer hash than many others. But it's a or it was a cryptographic hash. It's different.
Competition between nations, especially during wartime seems to spur innovation/technology. And better technology is overwhelmingly what has won wars.

Chernobyl definitely didn't turn out as bad as it could have, but on the other hand hopefully we're in a bit better of a safety stance now across the industry than Chernobyl was in?
There are other ways to inject money into people's pocket directly by reducing logistic cost by investing in better infrastructure. Everyone from top to bottom uses roads and railroads, airports, seat ports for shipping. Everyone benefits from having them fast and more efficient.
Yeah, that struck me as odd too. The biggest thing anyone can do to reduce their future carbon footprint is usually to have fewer or no children.

That's a pretty big thing to ask, though, as children are pretty central to most people's lives.

It's an interesting point, though: is it better long term for environmentally-conscious people to have fewer or more children? If they have fewer, then most of the children born will be to parents who are not environmentally-conscious, and will likely grow up without an ethos of reducing their consumption, which will negatively affect public policy. But if environmentally-conscious people have more children, they will add to the drain on the planet, but raise kids who hopefully will grow up to influence public policy in the direction of less consumption. Not sure which choice will be a net benefit, but I suspect the kind of person who would make their child-bearing choices primarily on the basis of environmental impact is uncommon enough that it wouldn't make much of a difference either way.

Well said. One can choose to be happy or to be miserable, and it's a skill that you can develop through the time. But i don't think pursuit of happiness is wrong. Happiness deters boredom after all.
1. Expecting current political and economic structures etc to remain for thousands of years is silly, so we do need a more permanent solution to a long-term problem.

It would be a bit of a nightmare for makers of mechanical clocks. For nearly everyone else if their clocks automatically handled it, I can't think of many people that would notice that the interval from a given time one day to the same time the next day varies slightly from day to day.
The arguments do not compete. Each adds to the case, and the strength of the argument is the sum of all, less any valid counters.

It is very clear that the sum is strongly positive, even with increasing uncertainty in the later points. The case is solid even if one or two sub-arguments turned out to have holes.

Huge decommissioning costs are always neglected in any argument promoting nukes.

As thoroughly bad as the argument is for building nukes, and even for continuing to operate existing nukes, the value proposition for Tokamak fusion is thousands of times worse. The only plausible explanation for continued work on them is as a jobs program for hot-neutron physicists, to maintain a population available to draw upon for weapons projects. Nothing else could make a lick of sense. Spending on Tokamak is thus deeply irresponsible.
>all the comments I disagree with are expressed with cogency and respect, and those that show disrespect or a lack of RTFA are deleted
The old Slashdot comment system before the original creator left worked very well. It was proud to say that the only comment they were forced to delete was one that criticised Scientology. That was because they took Slashdot to court. Users moderated comments with a set amount of mod points, usually only having 5 points to moderate up or down at a time (every few days I think for people with excellent score), there was metamoderation there as well, user metamoderation mind you. Not sure if metamoderation was there at the start, but the comments I generally saw were generally quite good. It was great to get various viewpoints without all these people trying to stop people saying their piece like we find all the time today. Not that no comments were removed, comments were hidden if they were below a specific score that you set. You could set the score to -1 if you wanted and see all the comments, and it was nice to do so sometimes. Note that it really did work like a democracy to show what comments people really thought were worth upvoting. It worked. Now with the new owners there is a link to flag a comment on the bottom right of each comment. Sad.
Atari eventually provided excellent support for 3rd party developers, but for the first few years they didn't support any kind of 3rd party development and kept the technical documentation under lock and key. Atari also didn't want to cannibalize their game console business, so they restricted the types of 1st party games they would develop for the system.

As a result, they squandered their significant head start in the game-focused home computer market.
Think of all the Jewish gold the Nazis wouldn't have stolen, or even detected, had it been converted into crypto with a passphrase. You buy it covertly when trouble looms and cash it in once in a safe country.

The big problem is government is trying to block, capital flight, can't be stopped. Hopefully this eliminates some of the governmental excesses as they lose their monopoly powers, even if only slightly.

Haters: It's not my fault if you don't know your history. Jews were an attractive scapegoat because they were rich. If they suddenly didn't have any money they wouldn't have been worth 1/10th the effort. If they could have taken their assets across the border covertly they could have fled sooner and with a guaranteed safe landing spot. I know people whose family didn't flee (and died for it) because of trying to protect the family legacy.
That seems like a terrible definition to me.

At the least it's very misleading to say the only thing that matters is PHI, with a hidden footnote saying that PHI means "records that HIPAA cares about, gotten in a way that HIPAA cares about".

Even if that's the definition in the law, call it "HIPAA PHI" or something, since it seems to me that it's definitely not supposed to be a general-purpose definition of PHI.
I agree: There were several successful Pascal systems that (a) pretty much had the commercial market for such languages saturated and (b) had pragmatic solutions for areas such as I/O.

I/O in the original Pascal definition was particularly unfortunate in that it both needed ad-hoc mechanisms and was not particularly expressive. Modula-2 improved on this by being capable of doing I/O without ad hoc mechanisms, but it was still not very expressive.

But if you bought into the more purist Wirth vision, and especially if you tried to use the language as officially defined, Modula-2 was a much nicer language than Pascal.
In a world where that simply means being able to flee with your assets, yes. I wouldn't want to be anything else.
I am also wondering whether ahash is faster. ahash is developed with rust. We need a head to head comparsion. However, it is not available in SMHasher package.

I think it's conceivable for well funded militaries to restructure equipment and doctrine for combat rolls to cater to lower performance standards. Reality however is infantry are carrying more than ever and performance is biasing more towards athleticism. GWOT has increased reliance for SOF units, and when millions are being sunk into each individual operator, you want to get your money's worth. Not to mention the amount of resources expended to service casualties both in field and in civilian life, for perpetuity. I'm sure some bean counter has done the actuarial accounting, and it's really up to society to decide if equality is worth the cost, which will be massive since it involves a whole of military effort considering every piece of equipment was designed for male performance curve in mind, i.e. F35 ejection seats isn't designed for pilots under 140lbs.
I am very excited for the results of the urchin culling experiment Fish and Wildlife has allowed in Monterey. There is debate in the scientific community if allowing the public to kill urchins will hurt or help the cause.

Many divers in the area (mostly from out of town) think they can help the kelp forests by smashing them with whatever tools they can. I have even found a lost hammer while diving a popular site in Monterey.

While smashing effectively ends the life of the urchins, it also releases their spawn and can cause a even worse environmental disaster. It is also not an effective solution for the whole coast and will only work to clear areas frequented by divers.

When things go extinct without human presence, it’s a morally neutral event. It’s just something that happens. No one cries for the trilobites.

When you say the source of earth’s problems are because of humans, I believe you’re right but not for the reason you think. Earth doesn’t have problems. Earth simply abides. Humans on earth, they have belief systems that consider certain changes to the planet problems. In that sense humans are the cause of the problems. Without humans to care about it, it’s just a change, not a problem.
I think it's a fair philosophical question.

Does nature and beauty matter if there are no sentient beings to observe it?

When many (most?) people talk about mitigating or reversing climate change, their main goal is the benefit to humanity. Sure, there is some level of empathy and caring for the species going extinct every year, but even part of that is only as far as how a healthy, diverse biosphere better supports human life.
Well, I was a big evangelist for the idea back int he 1990s, as well as for anonymous posting. With hindsight, this was a big mistake, predicated on an overly rosy view of democracy-as-civic-participation. I thought that people who really wanted to comment (such as myself) were doing so in good faith and wanted ideas to succeed or fail on their merits.

On the one hand, I formed these overly rosy views prior to Eternal September, but on the other it should have occurred to me that the reason trash tabloids sold in large quantities was not that people were tricked into buying them but because a lot of people are in fact awful.
It's about taking known 2D graphics and UI approaches which were developed for CPUs and looking at effective rendering engine architectures doing the same using GPUs. Terms such as "scene graph", "retained mode UI", etc. are those existing 2d graphics matter.

So the approach, afaiu, is a data layout for the scene graph that basically is the more domain general concern of mapping graph e.g. Linked List, datastructures (that are CPU friendly) to array forms (GPU friendly) suitable for parallel treatment. Other GPU concerns, such as minimizing global traffic by local caching, and mapping thread groups to tiles. I found the idea of having the scene graph resident in GPU to be interesting.

(note to author: "serialization" comes from networking roots of serializing a data structure for transmision over the net. So, definitely serial. /g)
Tenochtitlan was larger than almost every other contemporary city in Europe. The market alone was noted by the Spaniards who saw it to be as large as the cities they knew. And, in addition to having universal primary education (for both males and females, imagine that!), as well as more opportunities for lower classes to rise into the ranks of the elites, the city was also more cosmopolitan than most, having what we would see today as ethnic neighborhoods. At a time when the Spanish were busy trying to erase any legacy of Moors or Jews in their country.

Or maybe you'd want to consider instead the Mayans. Their astronomy was on par with--or better than--contemporary Eurasian astronomers. Their calendar is sufficiently precise, and their written legacy vast enough, that we know the chronology of successorship in polities and rulers for the Classical Maya where we struggle to even identify the existence of those same entities in contemporary Europe (although, to be fair, the Age of Migrations is responsible for a lot of that). And, personally, I think the Mayan writing system is more wonderful than anything derived from the Phoenicians or the Chinese.

But why stop with the well-known urban civilizations? Several cultures challenge conventional notions about the development of civilization. The Mogollon culture developed impressive aqueduct systems to enable farming in a desert without any evidence for a centralized authority. The quipus of the Wari and the Inca challenge the notion of writing system. Norte Chico challenges the idea that agriculture is a necessary precondition for urban civilization.

Pre-Columbian America developed very differently from the Eurasia. If you try to fit its development to a Eurasian development sequence, you will find that it doesn't match very well. But that doesn't mean it didn't develop civilization, and pretending that it does misses a wealth of fascinating advancements that they did.
It's just a matter of habit. For people coming from Pascal or Modula, writing braces around blocks looked just as awful (and I still think using = for assignment IS objectively awful).
On the other hand, I think services like this are obnoxious because they never live up to their claims.

> We should instead ask people if they want "summertime" or "wintertime" sunrise and sunset.

As a near Seattlite, this question makes it even more confusing. It doesn't matter what you do to the clock in winter, the sun is up for 8.5 hours, you can't have it up when you leave for work and when you get home for work; and if your commute is long enough, you won't see it from home at all; anyway, it's going to be cloudy so tough. In the summer, the sun is up for 16 hours; again you can do whatever you want with the clock, and the sun will be up.
