There's a prior attempt in the form of Firefox OS, which tried to push the “Web technology as driver of local UI” thing. Some cursory looking around suggests that webOS may also have done this, but I'm not as sure (it would make sense from the name).
I think they mean that when a civ researches (or “builds”) Linux every player in the game should have access to it (but the civ who spent the resources building Linux gets something extra).

If Linux was on the tech tree, only the civilizations who researched Linux could use it. That’s not very FOSS! Every civilization who had computers should be able to get Linux once it’s out.

Is this your project? You alredy posted it like 9 times. It's fine to repost your stuff here, but somewhere between 5 and 10 times is too much and people will flag it, and the mods may get angry and ban your site or your account.

Did you solve some interesting problem making this? A good strategy is to make a blog post about how you solved an interesting problem making this. It may get more traction. [It's important that it is an interesting problem. A boring problem will look as fake and get more flags.]

They target signaling mechanisms that the immune system uses.

I think I don't understand it very well, but it seems one approach is to have the vaccine cause cells involved in an auto immune disorder to put a bunch of 'friend' markers on their surface. So the technology is that they can trigger protein expression and the medical approach is to get cells to express proteins that lessen immune activity against the cell.
> There is a lot more melting recently.

No, there really isn’t. It may look like there is because of the post WW2 ethnic cleansing leading to more or less monoethnic monolinguistic nation states but the Austro-Hungarian, Russian and Ottoman Empires, and the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth were always indifferent to what the peasants “were“, like the peasants themselves, mostly. People cared a lot more about religion than ethnicity almost everywhere in Europe until after the French Revolution. The tiny urban, bourgeois or well traveled population were the exception. Everybody else mostly just rolled with it. Most French people didn’t speak a Romance dialect modeled after the Parisian one until well after the Franco-Prussian War in 1870.

Directly attacking the health of US personal would be a hugely provocative act. I’m not saying the Russians wouldn’t do it. There are reports that they paid out bounties in Afghanistan to attack US troops. But launching a campaign to enfeeble the intellect of future high level state department officials in this manner doesn’t make much sense. If you tried this kind of attack on a large scale and targeted a significant number of personnel, you would surely get caught which would lead to severe consequences. If you did it on a small scale that you might get away with, it would still be a risky and expensive undertaking and you’d only end up hurting a small fraction of one percent of possible future leaders. The cost benefit analysis doesn’t make sense to me.

We obviously don’t have enough information to really know what’s going on here but I do thinking some possibilities that don’t make very much sense can be excluded.

> My news this week is full of stories of employers who cannot find enough labor.

Yeah, they can't find enough labor because they want to pay people $15 an hour in an area where the median home price is $572,000. I work in logistics. I occasionally overhear some of executive staff down the hall from my office complain about being unable to keep workers in a non-climate controlled warehouse, lifting enormously heavy things, for 8 hours a day, in one of the richest areas of Texas that isn't Houston or Dallas.

Gee, I can't imagine why people wouldn't want to work in a warehouse in 100 degree F weather, lifting 30-80 lbs. boxes for 8 hours.

So I pulled data on that warehouse and it's location. In-N-Out is hiring just 10 miles away for $16 an hour. Yeah, it's not a great job either, but it's air conditioned. And you won't be lifting anything heavier than a box of fries. Furthermore, the cheapest rent within a 10 mile radius of that warehouse is $1700. Good luck paying that on $15 an hour.

So yeah, I can understand why employers can't find workers...
Betamax wasn’t any more proprietary than VHS which was developed by JVC. It has a fairly large number of manufacturers that produced VCRs including NEC, Toshiba, Aiwa and Pioneer the issue was mainly cost and the fact that Betamax cam recorders could not be miniaturized as efficiently and as cheaply as VHS so you ended up with a two stage solution still for home movies and amateur movie production (porn played a big role here).

I wonder if this was good intentions by some developers getting subverted by an unaligned leadership ethos? (panicked? too $ focused? not enough user advocacy? no idea!)

I can easily imagine a few meetings that went something like this:

1. Security engineer meetings: "Flipping to default-on for automatic updates has been a major win for ~billions of people to help them mitigate the steady stream of 0-days exploiting gnarly web browser internals. Docker adoption isn't at that level but still big, and the individuals are pretty important. We should try it for our community too!"

2. Sales & CEO: "A ha, amazing! We can turn this into a $ win too. We've been needing more $ and conversion triggers for our install base now that we sold the enterprise business. Anyone with docker desktop on for > 2w is effectively a qualified leading with this, and this might finally tip them over to paid! $5/mo is nothing and this is just annoying enough that it might do it! (And if a developer won't pay for that, they're a freeloader / 1% / ... who'd never pay anyways...)"

3. PMs + designers + marketing + other user advocates responsible for trialing & trust: "Wait a minute! For their core workflows, developers need to easily control the versions of their tools in their environment. Messing with that willy-nilly for system version #'s breaks brand trust for our paid conversions!"

4. Sales & CEO: "Maybe. Let's try it and see. Overruled in the name of business experiments, and we can reverse course if it's too damaging!"

I did one of these for fun at the beginning of the year, and ended up needing to spend way more time on the wordlist than I'd expected. In the end I felt that a list of 4096 words was a decent compromise between accuracy and is still fairly managable for trying to remove words that are too easy to mistake for each other. It lets you do everywhere on earth to slightly more accuracy than what3words in 4 words.

Something that what3words does is not have an obvious hierarchy of words (e.g. where the first one covers a larger area, and subsequent words home in). I didn't like that, but I understand why they do it - if a single word is going to cover a large area, you have to be extra careful that you don't choose something offensive for a particular region. By having no obvious structure, they get away with being less careful on the wordlist.
I've never experienced this. I autostart emacs in daemon mode, and right now my desktop's uptime is... 3 days. And that's only because I updated my kernel, normally I'll go for a lot longer than that.
My first job had the best office arrangement of any company I have seen: two people offices.

We were a strategy consulting firm. Everyone had the same skills (in theory), just different levels of experience. The office seating plan paired up a junior consultant with an experienced project leader. You'd both be at your own clients half the time. So in practice you mostly had a private office. But the other person was there enough of the time that:

(a) you wouldn't get lonely;

(b) you'd learn a lot about being an effective consultant by seeing how they worked and hearing their phone calls with clients (of course, treated as strictly confidential between the two of you); and

(c) you'd get to know each other well and you'd feel comfortable asking dumb questions despite the hierarchy difference.

(d) And also every 6 months, there was an "office move" where everyone except the partners (who had sole offices) got paired up with someone else and assigned a new two-person office. This was aligned with promotions and graduate intakes, rebalancing the junior/senior mix. (The office move also encouraged everyone to archive/throwaway notes from old projects, keeping the office tidy).

The same thing would work in software development etc.

I don't know why so many companies went to full-on open plan rather than this kind of half-way house. You get some of the space savings and none of the open plan or hot-desking disadvantages.

Blue Origin is older company than SpaceX. Blue Origin was founded in 2000 and SpaceX in 2002.

SpaceX got to orbit in 2008 without big government money 6 years after founding.

Blue Origin 20 years after founding still did not managed to get to orbit and Bezos is pushing around billion dollars a year into that company.

Blue Origin is obviously quite badly managed.

For example Rocket Lab founded in 2006 in New Zealand is a lot more successful with many orbital launches.

They are currently building human rated, 8 metric tonne class orbital reusable rocket.
I don't know about all the other RNGs in this benchmark, but MT prepares a dense/contiguous array of random numbers. The whole computation can be SIMDified (often even by the compiler), but extraction is (unless changed explicitly) a single copy of a double.

If RNG speed matters and you need a lot of random numbers in succession (and I assume these two assumptions correlate strongly) editing MT to directly pull 4 or even 8 random numbers at once (i.e. a `__m256 rand_m256()` interface) is a huge performance gain.

wyrand (the top spot of the linked benchmark), doesn't have this benefit. The computation can't be SIMDified and the extraction is always a single value.

So I would take these benchmark with a grain of salt and take a closer look at the specific situation for any application where RNG speed really matters.

During Obama’s term, US-Cuba relations dramatically improved, with fewer travel restrictions and other dealings. Cuba was on track to having the embargo removed.

The “microwave attack” story came out in mid-2017 when Trump was in office. Travel restrictions came back and foreign relations languished. It’s trivially easy to blame a nation state for an attack, and then use it as excuse to end political support, agreements, or funding.

Cuba has been the repeated target of bullying by the United States for the better half of the last century, despite no recent transgressions other than most-likely-fabricated ones such as these “microwave attacks.”

Every professional gambler to whom I've spoken or have known easily puts in 60+ hours a week... some of them, to make no more than $40,000 - $50,000 a year.

I struggle with understanding that mentality, since just about anywhere, doing just about anything, if you're working 60+ hours, you can easily make double those numbers, but hey... I'm glad people like that exist.
Another point regarding tabs: some of them contain rinse aids and salt (or other limescale mitigation) in addition to the detergent.

Salt needs to be dosed (read the manual and check the hardness of your water) which is not possible with tabs.

The rinse aid in the tab would be released at the wrong time together with the detergent. (Not sure how big of a problem this is).

The market is always a negotiation between buyers and sellers, naturally.

I have for years always gotten emails from recruiters trying to hire me as an FTE for SWE jobs in nothing towns in flyover states at 6x less than what I charge, too. Those positions are similarly unfilled.

People pick their best options available, usually.

If they can't find/keep labor for $15/hour, that means the price for labor in their market is greater than $15/hour. That's a good thing, as that's not true most places on this planet.

mRNA seems almost like a biological programming language; if you can determine how to build a protein that triggers the body's immune system to attack something you want to destroy it's just a matter of design and testing. I wonder if you could build a real language that you could use to design a sequence and automate the testing.
I suppose negotiating wages and overseeing what was happening must be enough work to count? I think most people would be more worried about how arrogant and self-important Judaism looks from the outside based on rules like these, but I digress.
I was thinking about this very subject this morning, and I realised the mRNA stuff actually isn’t the exciting part.

It’s the packaging in lipid particles that is much more interesting. We can get away with this approach for vaccines because we (largely) don’t care where we deliver the payload to, just as long as we get mRNA to a cell where it can make the protein. Not sure about current formulation, but I read most LNPs end up in the liver from circulation.

The next level of tech is targeting the particles, and then it gets as tricky as other contemporary techs, because you want your targeting mechanism on the prticles to be something resembling a receptor ligand (protein/carbohydrate).

Manufacturing of those (and putting them on a lipid particle) is still a slog. If we figure out nice ways to do that (without reasonable purity) then it doesn’t matter what is in the LNP (e.g put gold particles inside cancer targeting particles and zap your cancer cells dead).

Very useful! Thanks! Aren't there AES related intrinsics for some architectures that can be really fast for rng? How do they compare?
I do feel if canonical were to attempt another crowd-funding attempt at an Ubuntu phone, they might well be successful this time. That phone was a terrific concept. I feel the market has changed since then, with carriers accepting less control over our phones, and the fad of installing every random app has somewhat distilled itself to a smaller number that is widely used.
Wouldn't a SIMDified implementation of other RNGs speed them up by a comparable factor, making MT relatively slower again?
> Shared libraries ensure that you are able to fix the bug by updating a single library,

but that assumes that the only thing that changes between library_v1.0.0.so and library_v1.0.1.so is the bug. There are always tons of regressions and unrelated changes between minor Qt versions - hell, I even had patch versions break, for instance I was hit by this which was introduced in 5.11.1: https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-70672 or this which worked before 5.9 and failed afterwards (for good reasons) : https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-60804 or this in 5.4: https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-44316

> and we've upgraded seamlessly from Qt 5.4 up to 5.12 without touching a single line of code.

and that worked on mac, windows, linux with X11 & wayland, in low-dpi and high-dpi alike ? I don't see how if you care about your app's looks (e.g. your UI designers send you precise positioning & scale of every widget, text, image, etc).

hell, if you have a QtQuick app today, resizing its window has been broken since Qt 5.2 (since then, layouting happens asynchronously which gives the impression the app wobbles - and that is the case for every Qt Quick app under Linux, even the simplest hello world examples ; this worked much better in 5.0 / 5.1, see e.g. https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-46074 ).
The disk space issue could fixed other ways. Have the filesystem automatically find and shared common blocks.
> I think they mean that when a civ researches (or “builds”) Linux every player in the game should have access to it (but the civ who spent the resources building Linux gets something extra).

Actually that would be an interesting mechanic: to move forward in the tech tree you have to research something, but by researching it you give it all the players.

Do you stall your own progress, or take the hit to move forward and float all ships higher by raising the technological tide? How do the devs program the AI countries to make choice(s) in single-player, and what would a human player do?
