Everything is an "attack" on our attention. It's not a very useful distinction.

I clicked the link because the title caught my attention. I come to this website because it has a rotation of good content, all of which is more likely than not to catch and hold my attention, keeping it from something else.

I also don't generally agree that all ads are bad, which may put me in the minority
Sure, absolutely. Most Bitcoiners don't care; they're in it for the speculation.
Pipelining was really kicking off in a big way and suddenly IPC made as big a difference at a time amd led in that regard as clock speed so amd started numbering their cpu models with a number that was based on the MHz they'd expect an Intel CPU to need to reach to match it.

Of course intel also released new CPUs and AMD didn't want their newer CPUs to have lower numbers than their old one, so that number eventually got inflated.
Why the hell not... Unicode already has thousands of symbols, unlike many these might actually be useful.
We just discovered linear a few weeks ago. Its a great app. Loved the method and their changelog

Thanks for the suggestions. Will definetly consider the hem.

What kind of tasks do you want to do from the CLI? Are you looking at logging bugs from your catch blocks?

Another question, what else would you like to see in linear?
> This is already possible.

How? I did not find it possible to turn off pull requests when I last looked. Is that something they've added recently?
Shame GOG don't care about your privacy. When they published a profile page for you without asking first, leaking your personal data and what games you owned to anyone you had friended before, I contacted them and they just straight up said they didn't think it was a problem.

No DRM is a marketing gimmick for them, they don't actually care about the privacy of their customers.
One nitpick: Royal Mail and Post Office are two separate companies with independent boards. Royal Mail is the network and carrier, while the Post Office is the primary entry point into that network (they also offer access to a bunch of other services not related to the Royal Mail). Doesn't make your point any less valid, but wanted to call out the distinction.
If USD is only decreasing in value compared to CHF why would you not keep everything in CHF? Because you need money to live from and you likely need USD to spend.

From what I understood, ARC operations are cheaper on M1 because of weaker memory ordering constraints. But I thought this was and ARM thing, not M1 specific, but I could be wrong
But from what I understand, there's a much smaller gap between ryzen and M1 than intel
I do prefer lichess, but is it "most well known"? If we measure it by the number of users (what else), chess.com dwarfs it really.
Is owning John Deere tractors somehow controversial, since they're talking about how owners were "doxed"? Is there a special place on the web where we can laugh at the hall of shame of John Deere tractor owners? Jokes aside, John Deere are pretty good tractors tho. Very common among farmers here in Norway. ^^
I was always taught ARM (and M1), being a RISC architecture, isn't as "capable" as x86 in some way, whatever it means.

I am no longer sure if that's still the case, since they seem to work just as good, if not better (energy efficiency). Of course, it's not exactly an apple to apple comparison since Apple upgraded so many other things, but I just didn't see any mention about the limitation of being RISC in these articles.

Could someone enlighten in this respect for an average Joe who knows nothing about hardware?
Not a correction, but I'd like to add a small precision to that because I've seen the same argument used in other contexts.

For Twitter and Facebook I tend to agree, as there is an active intent (as you say) of publication. However, I've seen people reason in the same way with respect to licence plate or face recognition: "but the information is public".

The fact that technology now allows us to treat licenceplates or faces information globally, in very cheap way, means that a fundamental new capacity is created.
I think one of the most interesting YouTube channels about is Syrmor, this guy who talks to people on VRChat about their life experiences. I've long felt that complete anonymity and lack of context on the internet can lend itself to profound interactions.

The feature of being able to sign a message in order to prove that you own a certain wallet is one which I never see discussed. It's a pretty useful one.
5950x is the last greatest chip on the AMD4 platform. I think their would be enough demand for it in the future for the price to stay high.

Time and time estimates are the least important things imo. If someone bills by the hour, there are ample good ways to do that already, and estimates are always inaccurate (something like story points are a better system). You should track effort and status, not time.
Ads are not the problem - harvesting the most talented CS people to work on ads is - this is the kind of innovation your ideal system leads to. Personally I'd rather live in a society that values going to mars. Subjective I know, but I only have one life to live, I don't live in the general case :)

Bitcoin is an extreeme example of something that's built in to markets - you're trying to guess how much someone will be willing to pay for an asset and this leads to natural bubles - it stops being about determining the value of something and it starts being about playing the market. You can spin whatever rationalizations you want arround it - bitcoin is the most degenerate manifestation of this. If you find a market full of idiots willing to buy bullshit and pump it's valuation, if the idiocy is strong enough that it wont easily go away, you have a really good incentive to join in and prosthelytize to grow the bubble more, even if you don't beleive it - just the fact you beleive there will be more idiots buying in makes it rational for you to get in.

And if you skip out on trading on it you'll be punished with below avarage returns.

But they're both code.
As a sub-nitpick, I would definitely say Royal Mail itself is certainly the primary entry point into the network too. But Post Office is super helpful in providing supporting services for many government-related things like passport photos, certification, applying for things etc
Smashwords comes to mind: https://www.smashwords.com/ . Once you buy a book, you get a DRM-free epub that you can open in whichever e-book reader you fancy.

There are in fact more of such stores, but this is the one that I use and remember.
Can I build a Typora-like editing experience? Specifically, I want nodes where the visibility depends on the caret position. This requires mutating the DOM of the editable area in response to cursor movement, which wreaks havoc on a lot of the existing WYSIWYG editors.
Physical media doesn't automatically provide privacy. There are players which do track what blu-rays you put in them. Blu-ray players are internet enabled and include advertisements, which obviously can have tracking as well. Also you are tracked by the banks and stores you make the purchase from. You bought a Blu-Ray at Target on a Discover card. Target tracked it and sold it. Discover tracked it and sold it. Companies batched that together and added it to the same profile that Netflix updated. You still got tracked.

Physical media also includes A LOT of DRM as well. You called digital streams "DRM media", which is a weird phrase considering all physical media uses DRM as well.

I think you're remembering some rose-tinted view of physical medias past, not discussing the reality of physical media in 2021.

It's weird that you're so inaccurate with these terms and concepts, it's almost like you have an agenda

>Literally the only way to get the same freedoms with modern digital media we had with physical media, is piracy.

And there it is: The Pirates Rationale™

You see it a lot. An excuse in need of rationalizations, so the details get mixed up because it's not about the details, it's about the end point.

Stealing media you didn't buy is literally stealing from artist and developers and no amount of crying about how the DRM on Blu-Ray is more OK than the DRM on Netflix will change that. This community should not be as immoral as Reddit and proudly and openly support stealing software and content that you did not, in some form, pay the artist/creator to access. If you're "pirating" things you own, consider ripping and cracking them instead, less chance of malicious code that way. But if you're using your loose understanding of these concepts to justify stealing from developers and artists, then shame on you.
This is something that can be taught - in my case it was through drama class.

I can be described as introverted but you wouldn't tell that from my behaviour at social gatherings.

Hell, I know a few actors and there appears to be no correlation between this line of work and character.
There's a type and an identifier. In `int *pa[10]`, the identifier is `pa` and the type is `int *[10]`. A declaration simply specifies a name (the identifier), some operations around it (pointer dereferencing, array subscription, function calling, grouping parentheses) and the terminal type that you get after applying all those operators in the precise order as specified by operator precedence rules.

When using that variable with the allowed operators, the resultant type of the expression is determined by the declaration:

pa; // int *[10]
pa[x]; // int *
*pa[x]; // int

Which Ryzen laptop currently competes with the latest macbooks in terms of form factor, performance, battery life and build quality? I'm honestly asking, I've been thinking about getting a Linux laptop in a while and I would be curious to see what the playing field is like

Bitcoin fantasy: “Be your own bank.”

Bitcoin reality: “Buy me because number go up; make the rich richer. Also, use a bank.”

Ledger Hack - What Happened with Pascal Gauthier:
«Peter McCormack: Yeah. Well, the point is, would you keep $20,000, $30,000, $50,000, $100,000 in your house? No, that would be crazy; you'd keep it in the bank. And, you have to consider your security is your own personal bank. I mean, I recommend, ever since I've been with Casa, I would recommend everybody who has a serious amount of Bitcoin to consider setting themselves up with that, because it does protect you in so many ways.

Pascal Gauthier: Just on this, you're right, because you asked me the question offline, but multisig is definitely -- this is why I'm saying today, like in the present.» —https://www.whatbitcoindid.com/wbd290-pascal-gauthier
Licensing (probably) came in with the IBM System/360 when IBM was starting to sell some of its software separate from its hardware primarily for anti-trust reasons. At the time, whether software could be copyrighted was still something of an unsettled legal matter and, therefore, IBM considered copyright a weak protection so they settled on licensing. And, of course, because of first sale doctrine a lot of companies subsequently latched onto the idea even after software came to be seen as clearly copyrightable.
How much landfill use does my stream use when it's been watched 100 times and becomes garbage?

Thats why i buy movies, series, music and games in a physical format where possible. If you only rely on a “digital cloud” copy you simply dont own them, you just rent them for an undetermined period of time.
By the time there’s a 5nm version of Ryzen, there’ll be a 4nm M2.

Software optimization depends a lot on economical reasons. Which is why it is so hard to prioritize over new features IMO.

So what? You can store tidal water and let the store always flow.
Everyone keeps shifting the goalposts. Are we comparing cash to cryptocurrency? Are we comparing banks to exchanges? You can't say "Cash is better than cryptocurrency because banks". If you want someone to safeguard your cryptocurrency, find a trustworthy custodian for it. The fact that banks won't hold cryptocurrency for you isn't the cryptocurrency's fault.
Could've been worse, they could have called it "Horny Hippo" instead
I think the issue with the comment is that it comes off as biased or distracting (regardless of the intent). The conversation is about Apple Silicon vs Intel, and then it veers off topic with discussion of Ryzen.

Also, saying that people are "lapping up" the Apple marketing suggests that it's more sizzle than steak. But it's completely undeniable that the A chips, and by extension, the M1 is a beast.
The piracy it is. They indirectly force consumers to consider that alternative. While back during napster time, majority of people are not tech savvy. Today, even my neighbor "young" grandma knows torrenting.
John Deere tractor owners have to be especially good at fixing stuff if they want to fix their own machinery, because like Phone manufacturers, John Deer try to block their customers from fixing their own machines.
BlackMagic tests video workloads using sequential reads/swrites. 2.2/2.7 GiB/s is pretty average for a modern NVMe SSD. Even consumer-level Samsung NVMe SSDs are faster.
I'm very sure this system was certified in a multitude of ways. No certification process would prevent this.

The real issue here was that Post Office refused to recognise that, although computers themselves are mostly infallible, computer programs are never infallible. They conducted their activities and took actions based on assuming the reporting was flawless.

Then the really serious problem is that in cases where the fallibility became more visible, they consistently and systematically covered it up and pressed forward with their incredibly aggressive enforcement work anyway, knowing how much damage it was doing.

This is unquestionably an issue of abuse of power and position.
How is doxing some guy who bought a tractor sticking it to JD?

You missed the whole point. Yes, it makes no sense until you grok the logic of it and then it starts making sense (while still being unintuitive).

Proof of Work has by very definition to be useless work, otherwise it doesn't "cost" anything to attack the network as you get something as a byproduct.

The very idea of Proof of Work is completely insane and stupid if you think about it more than 10 seconds but hey here we are.
I agree, but on the other hand feel that we need a mission to some other body again, instead of yet another lander for Mars. There's Venus and Mercury that's close by and for a tougher challenge there's four Jovian moons that may harbour life.

You really think so? I was under the impression that Munich is the most unwelcoming city.
That, and knowing how to ask questions on StackOverflow or in IRC/Discord/Slack/Matrix.

Oh certainly!

But funding is always finite. Unless some radical new wave/tidal technique comes to light (and it hasn't, yet!), then the project funding would surely be better directed to other renewable energy sources.

The cynic in me says wave/tidal projects based on existing technologies (shown to perform or scale poorly) are simply to grab funding for green energy projects. The Swansea Tidal Lagoon fiasco is a classic example.
It's also not true. I don't know if I'm the only person not doing fluid simulations all day on my laptop, but I don't understand where this idea comes from
Yes, it's great to grab a big chunk of the market, but it'll limit then to grab the whole market IMHO.
Well, to be fair, Danish doesn't really sound so similar to Norwegian, but since most of the words are written the exact same way, it's usually not hard to decipher the pronunciation, especially after a day or two among them (I'm Norwegian). We've got some pretty special old mountain dialects in Norway too. Technically they are Norwegian, but it's nigh impossible to understand a word they say lol.
I just went from a 32GB RAM Macbook Pro to an 8GB RAM M1 Macbook Air...the difference is insane, I don't know what the hell the MB Pro is doing with its RAM, but it just felt like RAM was never enough on Intel Macbooks. Here on the M1, I don't feel my system crawling to a halt like I did on the MB Pro, and I'm doing the same workloads.

Absolutely. Modern architecture, coupled with politicians and developers’s greed and the lack of urban planners care, can be an attack on our intelligence, our senses and our basic human aesthetic needs. It’s not just about capturing our attention.
The surface laptop has a Ryzen 4000 CPU, not Ryzen 5000.
Every one of these potential attacks would require a lot of things to go very right. It's easy to do X or Y under experimental conditions. The real world is far more chaotic and the odds of success are lower.

Further, none of these things would cause an enemy to capitulate. If an enemy shut off power or caused car crashes in several major cities at once, the US isn't going to just surrender or even think about it. They're going to strike back with the widest array of options for employing force that earth has ever seen. Every option you listed would be pin pricking a giant.

Cyber warfare is super cheap, but it's also orders of magnitude less effective than sustained aerial bombardment or a complete naval blockade. Another tool in the tool chest, but not something I would base my national defense on

1. Polarization among politicians is normal. Political polarization in the society, where family members often don't talk to each other because of opposing political views, is very unhealthy. Most people on either side of the political divide don't read each others' media. People don't disagree, people hate each other.

2. Of course you can. Church hierarchs in Poland are very conservative and often pro-Russian.

* 2007 - "Homosexuality - the plague of 21 century", a conference in Sankt Petersburg, Russia, attended by Protoiereus Aleksandr Grigoriew
* 2012 - patriarch Ciril (former KGB agent, codename: Michajłow/Mikhailov) meets Polish archbishop Józef Michalik
* 2013 - Polish Church starts a campaign against "gender", by the Russian playbook.

Tadeusz Rydzyk has been running a pro-Russian "catholic" radio station for a few decades now. The initial 10000 Swiss franks for the radio mast came from a mystic (Vassula Ryden) who keeps saying Russia will be elevated by God and will rule other nations. Russian diplomats showed up on the radio's 8th anniversary. The radio has transmitters in Ural and operates on frequencies used by the Russian army. Tadeusz Rydzyk is de facto the head of Polish Church. Rydzyk is notorious for criticizing the West.

Grzegorz Rzeczkowski has recently written a book "Katastrofa Posmoleńska", about how the plane crash in 2010 was used to sow dissent and divide. One of the major points of contention was a catholic cross illegally placed in front of the presidential palace to honor the dead. There were pilgrimages, pious crowds, angry people insulting the new president, etc.

Ordo Iuris is a para-legal branch of the Brasilian sect TFP. It successfully campaigns for strict law based on catholic orthodoxy - for example abortion punishable with jail, next up: no divorces. Attorney General Zbigniew Ziobro supports it. It has support from other politicians, like Grzegorz Braun and Krzysztof Bosak (his wife is in OI). That it's not "real" catholicism doesn't matter, because the society at large can't tell the difference. The resemblance is where their power comes from.

Also, the whole Konfederacja Targowicka was highly conservative, nationalist, catholic and pro-Russian.

Ask HN: Why doesn't “select *” in grouped SQL queries yield all grouped columns?
SQL Server complains when trying to "select *" in a grouped query (unless the extreme mostly very useless case where all columns are being grouped by). It makes sense if "select *" has to mean all columns in the table (or joined tables etc) "pre grouping" (in lack of a better word). I don't know if my SQL queries are too trivial, but it seems like one would be able to merely select grouped columns or aggregate calculations on any column when grouping -- so why not let "*" refer to all the selectable columns, ie those grouped by. I believe it would improve typing speed surely, but perhaps even readability.

I know there is some dialect(s?) that let's you use \1 or similar for the first column grouped by and so forth, which I guess if a half-way solution.

Is there some reason that "select *" in grouped queries could not/should not select the columns grouped by?
