I've found that the stick only works when starting from a lowly place to get up to speed. Envy, resentment, anger etc. are very draining and unstable sources of motivation and it's hard to build a long-term strategy upon them. At some point genuine interest should take over as your motivation so you don't burn yourself out.

2) I guess we can debate how useful this is but surely it's strictly better than neutral, hence good?

3) Isn't it perhaps a useful way to provide a stimulus that people who already have enough cannot simply pile onto their hoarded supply?

4) I mean obviously we want to avoid money laundering.
That's what's supposed to happen, but I very much doubt it would actually happen if they did it.
I don't understand one thing. Why Germany didn't interfere extradiction? (I assume that he held Germany citizenship)
At first I was like: Oh, ok, another one of these "here's my portfolio that looks like an OS" deals.

Then I was like: Cool, look how he got the nice Dock animation down, I bet it took him hours to sort that out.

And then I opened VS Code and I had to write to tell you how my mind was blown.

Kudos, senpai.
This is literally an open specification. There is no geolocation involved here. You're talking out of your ass. Don't you think if geolocation was tracked people would have kicked up about this? It collects randomised Bluetooth IDs, that is it.

Is HitBTC Exit Scamming?
HitBTC has disabled withdrawing for Doge, XVG, XEM, and bunch of others. It's looking like an exit scam and I feel sick to my stomach. My first cryptocurrency excitement went down with Cryptopia a few years back. Since then I've learned a ton and I've followed good security practices to keep my funds safe, but this really hit me out of the blue.

I transferred all my Doges (300k) to HitBTC to sell them, but I noticed that the price is way off. Then I found out that there has been withdrawal issues for a few weeks already, and that customer support was not willing to offer any help other than pointing to the system health monitoring page for updates. Reddit is full of these threads. My funds are stuck, I can't withdraw them and I don't want to sell them for half price. I know I'm not alone in this situation either, they have a ton of users. Never any problems for me before this, I don't have any other funds there either.

I hope I'm not right about this situation but I feel disgusted, I don't know how to go through this again. My heart rate is through the roof. I can't sleep or eat. I'm on sick leave from work because I can't keep myself together. My stomach feels hollow and nothing seems real. I had it made but lost it, what the hell am I supposed to do now?

How to Create Mega Menu: Best Practices and Design Tips
I fail to see your point. The point of my post is that the abstractions you can build in C++ are as easy to use and as efficient as doing things the wrong, unsafe way...so there's no reason not to do things in a safe, correct way.

Obviously if you write C and compile it as C++ you still end up with UB, because C++ aims for extreme levels of compatibility with C.
> Healthy ferrets were placed in a cage that was above infected ferrets (as droplets should not rise against gravity) and the cages were connected with pipes that had a series of 90 degree bends (as droplets should not make the turns). In the SARS-CoV-1 pairings, all 4 healthy ferrets subsequently tested positive. In the SARS-CoV-2 pairings, 2 of the 4 ferrets tested positive. Thus, the infection spread through the air, around corners, and against gravity, which is inconsistent with droplet transmission, but describes aerosol transmission perfectly.
Have you read Neal Stephenson's "Anathem"? I'm not exactly sure what to say about it in context of your comment for fear of spoilers, but it sounds like you would like it.
I don't know exactly what Pin does, but probably dyninst, which also supports Arm8 and POWER. It won't avoid slowdown, though.
Except that the core thing that makes dark matter dark is that it doesn't interact via the electromagnetic force, and friction is a result of the electromagnetic interaction. So that statement is nonsense.
Sadly, chances are we would talk about the weather instead. I bet that none of us want to look crazy.

When I stated working remote (long before the pandemic) it made me think differently about what I work on and with who. As things slowly open back up, I bet a lot of people are reassessing their lives now that they have had some time to see things in a different light.

Also, wild speculation...it's almost summer and why would you (if you really didn't need to) go get a job when you could stretch things out and try to enjoy this summer when the last one was taken from you.

I had to check that app and wow, what an amazing video editor.

Apparently it's a prosumer level app with quite a bit of power and depth:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lI8SWCUWMDY

However I agree that it's strange not asking for camera permissions. The app itself can be used with no camera.

It's also strange because even apple's own watch app that tracks your hand washing habits keeps asking for permission to track your location. Every now and then you will be reminded that hand washing reminder app tracks your location.

This just doesn't seem right. Granted, I don't know much about your use case, but Raspberry Pi's are powerful computing devices and I find it difficult to believe there was no way to handle this without additional hardware.
Are you saying that banks in Europe would prefer not to accept any deposits at all?

In the US, banks do often try to justify high fees by pointing to the relatively high cost of administering small accounts. But those accounts are still profitable for the banks because of the fees—they don't actually want to give up that revenue. And CBDCs don't just threaten banks' consumer banking business.

Although my previous comment was focused primarily on consumer account holders, similar incentives exist for businesses. Any business that has bank account balances in excess of the FDIC insured amount is extending credit to its bank. Yes, banks tend to be trustworthy, but the 2008 crisis showed us that even the largest institutions can fail, and then you are just hoping that the US government stands up and covers more than what the FDIC is obligated to.

As a business owner, it wouldn't be a difficult decision to shift all my bank balances over to CBDCs, provided that the physical security and anti-fraud risk could be sufficiently covered. I would much rather have 100% of my risk exposure be to the US government, rather than to a bank that may or may not be backed by the US government if the shit hits the fan. Banks today are unable to offer interest rates that would compensate for that risk differential.

I am also confident that a CBDC would be easier to use and more flexible from a user experience perspective than my bank's current systems.

All this is to say that we would all hear a giant sucking sound emanating from banks' balance sheets if CBDCs were introduced, not only because people would be closing their consumer accounts, but also because businesses would be withdrawing funds from their business accounts.

Yes, there are accommodations and affordances that can be made to keep the banks in the game somehow, and there are "bank-like" roles to be filled in a crypto economy. However, banks today would find it difficult and disruptive to make that shift, and many wouldn't be able to make that shift at all.

Banks would go out of business. Big banks would go out of business, and that is the last thing that any central banker wants to have happen. The fact that by introducing a CBDC a central bank itself would be the direct cause of bank failures makes the whole concept quite dubious, in my mind.
Same answer that the other gave, in my words:

Emissions are an external cost, meaning its information is lost in the price of making something.

If a country produces a lot of goods that are carbon intensive and export them, the country who import those goods cannot really calculate the carbon emission of those goods with precision. They can do estimates.

This is why accusing china of being a large emitter is wrong for several reasons:

* they are the factory of the world, they export a lot of stuff

* their emission per capita is lower compared to developed countries

Even though it's true that China could switch to nuclear energy, although they already have a lot of it.
The node benchmark numbers are suspiciously low, and actually get worse for 3 cores. It seems the implementation is not using parallelism via cluster/workers/threads at all.
Why not, and why not?
I'm probably one of the people who thinks they know how to do it, but in reality don't.
>That cannot be a comfortable realization.

I think you're absolutely right, but would argue that the majority in developed countries do not realize it whatsoever. Instead they simply take for granted that they are the problem so that they may imagine themselves the solution (c.f. carbon taxes in Canada, rich cities declaring climate emergencies they pretend they can help solve, etc.).
No, investments typically feed growth, not normal operations, which are funded by clients, ergo the demand-side.
The FBI are the good guys now, didn't you hear? They started spying on Trump and Rudy's iCloud communications the day Trump hired him. At least they had the balls to recognize that attorney-client privilege isn't for Nazis.
One Dyson sphere of radius 1 AU (Sun-Earth distance) having mass 600 kg/m^2 (8-20 cm thick) will require[1] 10^26 kg of material. The Milky Way's dark mater halo is considered[2] to have mass 10^12 M_Sun = 10^42 kg. So you will need a total of 10^16 (10 quadrillion) spheres.

I think this should be a fundamental assumption, whether you’re left wing or right wing: the enemy is an ordinary person, just like you. You can’t change human nature, all you can address is the various carrots and sticks that influence their behavior.

I am a leftist and I definitely do not believe that our social problems are the result of scheming enemies or secret cabals.

In my view they are the natural, systemic result of an economic and social system where the more power and money you have, the more I you can get. It forces you to make the most narrow, self interested decisions you can, because otherwise someone else will beat you. And the best way to win that game is make sure someone else pays for all your externalities.

If your worldview relies on secret cabals or inherently bad people doing evil things because they’re just evil, that’s a big hint that you’re on the wrong track.
This would actually be a good move if they were willing to accept that their reputation has taken a huge hit and they need to take measures to restore trust.

I doubt they would do that and try for the trusted plan of legal warfare and whataboutism.
I had the same thought. And yet he seems to be doing at least okay... I would assume that as a farmer he gets plenty of physical activity.

Perhaps diet has much less to do with health compared to physical activity than Americans tend to act as if.

> the WHO states that COVID-19 is only spread through droplets but simultaneously emphasizes the need for ventilation in the control of the disease. That doesn’t make sense.
>Plant protein is clearly cheaper to produce than animal protein.

Cheaper for who? Cheaper how, in terms of monetary cost?
I raise most of my vegetables and all of my meat. There's a reason I can't raise all of my vegetables, and it has everything to do with cost. It is vastly more expensive in terms of my time, water, space, soil nutrients to raise my family's vegetables, vs. letting my animals raise themselves on the vegetation that grows naturally. I'd like to add, that I eat many wild plants that modern Americans consider "weeds", and include them in this equation.
Yes it's lose-lose for Facebook. Either the individualized advertising works, and the value per impression is going to go way down on iOS, or it doesn't work, and they're going to have a lot to answer for. It's an experiment they don't want to run.
What does it mean over 96% of the users blocked FB from tracking them? What's the default option?

Is the classical you all listen to all "top 40" "oldies" from folks like Bach and Beethoven or do you listen to anything reasonably new? I'm talking 20th or 21st century classical. Say John Adams or Kaija Saariaho, maybe?

That's the classical music that I enjoy that my mom can't stand. And that is the difference this is talking about.
I have read 'Snow Crash', 'The diamond age' and 'Cryptonomicon', but not that one. Thanks for the recommendation.
The library provides those functions too, but I don't see how having an arithmetic type with well defined size, endiannness and alignment is a bad thing.

If you're defining a struct to mirror a data structure from a device, protocol or file format then the language / type system should let you define the properties of the fields, not necessarily force you to introduce a parsing/decoding stage which could be more easily bypassed.

So you’re saying Java is a bad choice for something like a sidecar (most likely multiple) running along your main app, due to that JVM overhead. I think you’re all agreeing here.
Does it replace or compete with the winapi crate?
Even ancient hunter gatherers probably ate a diet of more (wild) plant than meat. Catching animals is hard work, with the technology of the time.

But in general, I think we know a lot less about the lives of people so long ago than many people (including academics) like to think. Research methods are often based on either assuming modern people's lifestyles are "just like" ancient people, or big leaps from extremely limited archeological evidence.

"...can potentially degrade the small businesses which rely on targeted ads"

Just thinking there were small businesses before this type of tracking and there will be small businesses after. Such a crap argument.
You are correct. Some of this has changed significantly somewhere between Java 8 and 16. For example the Java applications we're running against Hotspot 16 regularly gives memory back to the host. It's GC pauses are also quite insignificant now for a microservice regularly allocating and GCing.
Some focus only on the upside, more relevant ads, some only on the downside, lost privacy. How do you balance the two?

How to Make Charts Better
It seems a lot of this comes down to personality differences, particularly with regard to novelty or sensation seeking. There's no right or wrong, but it's interesting that both groups don't really understand the other.

For me personally, I have a very high inclination for novelty, even if that novelty comes with the risk of a bad experience. I just can't imagine doing, seeing, eating, working on, or talking about the same things my whole life. Heck, I work in tech but keep floating the idea of opening a restaurant to my wife (which promptly gets shot down).

For other people in my family, they know what they like, and that's that. Why fix what's not broken? I can't relate to that viewpoint one bit, but I can respect it.

Edit: Actually, now that I think about it some more, my desire for novelty might depend on the topic. I rotate between about three colors of T-shirts and wear the same brand of jeans every day and have no desire to branch out beyond this. Maybe openness is not a personality trait that applies universally to everything.
The farmer has a lot of ideas about what it would have been like to leave or do something different and why there was no point in doing so. Having never left, these ideas are not based in experience, and there is likely an element of self-justification. It is very very common for people to come up with reasons to justify their choices. To the extent that these reasons are unexamined and not evidence-based, they are deluded. That doesn’t make them bad or even ineffective, just not fully based in reality.

It’s likely mild, and he’s likely genuinely happy with his life despite.

Yes those are the only explanations I came up with as well, but none of that applies.

I have kept a log of all IPs I regularly connected from, and only a single one of those originated in another country - another European one.

Never lost a device (jinxed now) or bought or even temporarily used a second-hand one.

An ad or intrusion do seem to be the most likely culprits, but ads are blocked everywhere, and I believe my security hygiene to be pretty decent.

This has been going on for over a decade now. Due to the sporadic nature if these happenings, I'm almost starting to think there's some old (but still wrong) data stuck on some edge node somewhere - or perhaps someone at Google is actively teasing me for being so critical of the company :)
I'm not so sure. Apple took a hard line with Epic, and losing Fortnite on the app store almost certainly hurt them with a certain demographic. A rather important one as well - kids and teenagers are forming a lot of their ideas about the world, and it's a big risk in the impression created when you are the one responsible for taking their favorite toy - a toy which doubles as a social space where they interact with friends - away from them on your platform. They must have felt it was really worth it.

One of the Biggest Pipeline Spills in U.S. History
One project I worked on recently ran on containers with 256MB memory, on k8s. Main app would use ~80MB, plus five or six sidecars for metrics, logging, discovery, http proxy etc using 5-10MB each. Having a 100MB+ baseline makes it prohibitive for most of those applications.

I wonder, do you think FB expects all employees to use FB?
I’m guessing this is sarcasm, and yes, it’s not a sure thing, but it’s pretty close. Also, you have to live somewhere so the investment is offset by the rent you’d otherwise be paying.
I'm glad that you noticed this project, have fun!
More precise because it includes trucks and such
It does, macro assemblers, specially those with PC and Amiga roots.

Which given its heritage, that is what PDP-11 C used to be, after all BCPL origin was as minimal language required to bootstrap CPL, nothing else.

Actually, I think TI has a macro Assembler with a C like syntax, just cannot recall the name any longer.
Could you elaborate on these tricks? This sounds interesting.

The only thing I'm aware of that's neat in little endian is that if you want the low byte (or word or whatever suffix) of a number stored at address a, then you can simply read a byte from exactly that address. Even if you don't know the size of the original number.
Sounds like a pretty efficient way to get you to turn off your adblocker
You know, bytes are not only about text, they are also used to represent binary data...

Not to mention that bytes have nothing to do with unicode. Unicode codepoints can be encoded in many different ways: UTF8, UTF16, UTF32, etc.
