From what I understand, newer consumer level SSDs are designed to have a lower TBW (TeraBytes Written) - mostly because any reasonable consumer doesn't write terabytes of data to their SSDs in any decent length of time. Enterprise/Higher end "GaMeR" SSDs have higher TBW ratings - I believe 1TB FireCuda Model NVMe SSDs have something insane like a 1800 TBW rating when I was looking a couple weeks back.

These above mentioned consumer drives, when written to in massive amounts (I believe even the lower sized Chia plots thrash the SSD to the tune of at least a couple terabytes of write usage) cause it to degrade at a significantly higher rate.

Long story short, consumer SSDs aren't designed for super high write tasks, while enterprise and higher-end ones are.
One of the things I periodically mentally noodle with is, what would the world look like if it was a lot easier for units to choose what larger units they would aggregate into? Like, cities choosing a county, counties choosing a state, states choosing their country, etc.

I originally was noodling with this in the context of a space civilization, where there is no equivalent of "solid ground", everything's always moving, and everything can move (i.e., even a "space station" can still move places, it just may be slower than a "space ship"), where these sorts of structures are probably inevitable because at the unit of 'space station' you can't hardly stop them from moving around between what various borders there may be.

But you can still noodle with the idea on planet Earth, too. Obviously, our current systems have a lot of institutional inertia in the direction of centralization; for instance, the various impacts this will have on the United States due to how we choose representatives, etc. But you can imagine a world in which this gradually becomes more popular, and imagine what the follow-on effects may be. And also consider why it not how things work here. There have also been times and places in history where things did work more like this, such as when and where "city states" were the dominant organizations rather than "nations".

(I present this as an interesting thought topic, not as the solution to the world's problems. I think one thing you will rapidly notice if you put serious thought into it is that especially on Earth, the nature of militaries has a lot of impact on why we find it advantageous to bundle into larger collectives than our neighbors. But I do find myself wondering whether over the next century or so we could save ourselves quite a few shooting wars if we were all more willing to break up amicably instead of fighting to the death over who gets to control tho overly-large, bloated collectives. Alas... we almost certainly won't.)

(Another example... in the space case, your choice of governance might actually manifest as concretely as the operating system your space ship or space station runs on, with its corresponding grants of permission or lack thereof to whatever higher powers your choice of governance has. And then that raises a whole bunch of further interesting possibilities.... on Earth though I would expect geography to still loom large on all discussions of sovereignty, though.)
From my reading of the PDF, they're talking about wormholes with a radius less than 10^-21 meters. The Bohr radius is 10^-11.
Sort of a second amendment for footguns.
I am glad to see that they are using LEGO Technic chains (https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=3711) , and therefore the gear pitches are LEGO compatible (at least with the non-bevel gears, but the traditional spur gears). I am excited about the potential of interacting with existing Technic parts!
Everyone thought WASM would enable developers to write code in any language they wanted (with type checking and higher performance) and deploy it on the web.

JS Developers come in: so we can compile node.js to WASM and run that in the browser?! Yay!! Now we can have backend JS running in the browser alongside browser JS!

Jokes aside: this is actually quite interesting, the demo is very impressive (except for the "only works in Chromium-based browser" message on the next.js demo, where the preview should be - despite Mozzila being one of the main WASM backers and Firefox having arguably the best WASM engine).

Parents pay for their kids often well into their 20s. Many of them also help with caring for their grandchildren. Seems just fair to ask for something in return in case of need? There is a similar concept in Germany where you do have to pay part of the nursing home fees if your parents require assistance and can’t live on their own.

> how they aren’t violating 230

So... I'm with you ideologically: I don't think anybody should be force-censoring anything (allow users to suppress content they themselves don't want to see, but don't suppress it for everybody). However, CDA section 230 says exactly the opposite of what I think you think it says:

"(c)Protection for “Good Samaritan” blocking and screening of offensive material

(1)Treatment of publisher or speaker

No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider.

(2)Civil liability

No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be held liable on account of—

(A)any action voluntarily taken in good faith to restrict access to or availability of material that the provider or user considers to be obscene, lewd, lascivious, filthy, excessively violent, harassing, or otherwise objectionable, whether or not such material is constitutionally protected; or

(B)any action taken to enable or make available to information content providers or others the technical means to restrict access to material described in paragraph (1)."

In other words, section 230 (paragraph c) explicitly protects Twitter in this case.

Foreign exchange trading is usually on the futures market, and the futures contracts are an extremely standard financial asset. I believe the tax differences alluded to are of the form "If you buy a currency and then later exchange it for goods and services, you have to pay capital gains taxes if it was Bitcoin and you don't if it was Euros"
But then, all puns are unfortunate. It's kind of their thing.

> Just put several thick textbooks under the monitors. (my personal choice: CLRS + CSAPP + HTDP + Computer Networking + Algorithms 4th :))

It always makes me chuckle inside when a company is too cheap to buy people proper stands for monitors and instead you see people use textbooks from the office reference library… and when you add up the cost of the actual books, it costs an order of magnitude more than the actual made for the purpose stand would cost. Computer networking and algorithms 4th alone already bring you in the 200$ territory if I’m not mistaken.

I should note that the 90% credit drop also coincided at a time when my investments crashed by 50%+, which would have been an extremely suboptimal time to pull out money. That would have wiped out like 10 years of growth.

I'm going to venture to guess anything and everything is possible

How many billions of light years big is our universe? A size so huge, we can't fathom that number or distance.

We observe or think we're observing black holes, dieing stars, super novas, etc...

We think dark matter exists and fills the voids of what we can't view

We observe viruses and try to kill them, atoms, etc...

We're on the edge (few years? decade max?) of producing picometer processors

So yes - wormhole travel is possible. Reversing the pull of gravity is possible. Traveling faster than the speed of light is possible. We are just not smart enough (yet) to do these things.

What's the saying? If life exists elsewhere other than earth, there are probably thousands and thousands of civilizations out there due to the size of the universe? Then yes, all these things are possible and something has probably already done it - we're just not there yet.
It also depends on the kind of education.

I studied physics so moving the burgers to the periphery of the bbq is great. Precise, unambiguous and what not. Moving them to the side may mean so many things: one side (which one), how bug the side is. Heck, is that side still on the bbq?
> e.g. removing a check for for overflow is definitely NOT ignoring the behavior. Deleting write because it would be undefined behavior for a pointer to point at some location is also NOT ignoring the behavior.

Depending on how you look at it, this is ignoring the behavior.

For example, say you have this:

int f(int a) {
if (a + 1 < a) {
// Handle error
}
// Do work
}

You have 2 situations:

1. a + 1 overflows
2. a + 1 does not overflow

Situation 1 contains undefined behavior. If the compiler decides to "ignor[e] the situation completely", then Situation 1 can be dropped from consideration, leaving Situation 2. Since this is the only situation left, the compiler can then deduce that the condition is always false, and a later dead code elimination pass would result in the removal of the error handling code.

So the compiler is ignoring the behavior, but makes the decision to do so by not ignoring the behavior. It's slightly convoluted, but not unreasonable.
There simply must be more loving parents than abusive parents?
I'm confused, are we talking about the electoral college system, or about Oregon?
In the example you mention, it was the parent that went to Greece. It was a child living in the US that was forced to pay.

It is actually worse than that. Many states also have criminal penalties allowing incarceration for financial neglect of parents.
The C standard says very little about how those types work. In particular, you can cast a pointer to one of them and then cast back to a pointer -- but only if you cast the exact same value back, and the intptr values are not guaranteed to be in any way meaningful.

In particular, casting a pointer to intptr_t, doing arithmetic on it, and casting back is not guaranteed to do anything useful. It almost certainly will, since most systems treat it as roughly the same as casting to char *, but the standard does not guarantee it.
There's been an absolute metric crap-ton of interest generated since the media has started picking it up and taking about it 2-3 weeks ago. It seems like it's one of the first crypto offerings that relies not on constant CPU/GPU usage, but just proof of "storage" from what I understand.

Very interesting.

According to enerdata [2] the world produces over 30k TWH in electricity alone. So, it's not even close. It's also worth noting that there's lots of "Bitcoin uses more energy than X countries" but it's more "Bitcoin uses more energy than each of X countries individually - not cumulatively"

From the perspective of an outside observer, nothing ever reaches past the event horizon- it just asymptotically approaches it. The same goes for the whole mass of the black of hole- from an outside perspective, it's smeared across the surface.

There isn't an object that messes with the warping of spacetime- the black hole IS the warp in spacetime. If changes in spacetime couldn't propagate away from the black hole, it wouldn't exist.

Actually Bluetooth has been more reliable than Wifi in getting sound on all channels.

I'd say it's worth the extra $500, you get two extra rear channels, built-in room correction (finally) and a Night Mode made for late night movies or listening to music.

And i think a discount should also be possible.

But you can always check out Avforums for more in-depth information.
I see this argument a lot, but it's silly. I don't have to care whether gcc changed the settled semantics without notice or documentation out of sincere belief that they were helping or out of a desire to beat a benchmark that doesn't matter to me, or out of habit. It's not the intent of the compiler authors that matters, but their disregard of the needs of application programmers.
The Windows key is a tragic misstep in computer evolution. It should not exist.
I wonder if what you have in mind is like what Germany was before it was unified. Lots of city states that essentially ally together or don't. I don't think it is a stable situation once someone gains the means to conquer by force.

It really is kind of a weird place. I recall that soon after we moved there one of my dad's colleagues explained the situation something like this: "You know about Appalachia, right? Well, it's like there was a part of the Oregon trail that went directly from Appalachia to Southern Oregon - this is Appalachia West." The KKK was really active in that area for a long time which seems weird for a place on the West Coast - but then again, Oregon was founded on excluding Black people.

But then we also had The Rainbow People which were a large hippie group that traveled around the PNW and often came into our area for big camp outs. Talk about a cultural divide.
I've used RegExp for testing regular expressions and absolutely loved it.

From what I understand, the network/algorithm is designed to prevent this from happening - either due to massively huge egress costs (I think you need to 'upload' the whole plot to the network after you have a verified proof), or for sheer data storage cases (some farmers/miners have tens of petabytes of plots already - i wonder how much that would cost to store monthly?)

I hate job boards more than anything. Most of them have very poor filtering ability and too low of an SNR. LinkedIn does better with the filtering, allowing you to differentiate things like company industry and job function, but LinkedIn is ruined by almost always ignoring my search and flooding the results with jobs that look like my current role, which is exactly what I don’t want.

But back to your original point, yeah i can’t stand job listings. 90% of the ones I see look like keyword dumps mixed in corporate-speak responsibilities that don’t give me any insight as to what I’d be working on. Some due a bit better but almost always tend to be in companies out of my league.
> the more I realize that alcohol isn't special among the various things we call "drugs".

But it is.

Humans are pretty good at metabolizing alcohol. Other species are not as good (carnivores in particular). Why is that?

Every day bacteria in your gut produce alcohol. Every day you ingest it. Some percentage of carbs get converted daily. It's conceivable that our bodies are fine with small amounts.
The order of the questions is random per user, so not everyone will have the same 3rd set of Tweets.

I'm not sure if Twitter's algorithm is detecting a political bias and that detection is an input, or if Twitter marks Tweets as offensive because they have been reported by people who have a political bias, or if it is just random coincidence that one political side seems to get censored more than the other.

You really liked the OpenMove for running? I've been struggling to find really stable BlueTooth phones. (I liked the Pixel-branded wired phones, actually, but for stupid reasons they no longer seem to work with my phone.)

I run a whole bunch, so it matters a lot. My favorite thus far have been surprisingly cheap ($20) "retro" JLab phones that look like the kind I used to run with before everybody switched to earbuds. Build quality is mediocre but I just want to be able to hear stuff.

I'd be willing to spend $79 on the OpenMove (that's what I see on their web site), but it's a very different approach so it's good to know that it works for you.
Correct assignment of (technical) blame is an important engineering task, though. You sound to me like you are thinking that's some sort of wrong thing to do, but I would disagree. Identifying whether the bug is a defined (in C) behavior or the result of the compiler making a certain choice as the result of your code invoking undefined behavior is an important element of fixing the bug; if you don't know which is which you're operating under a critical handicap.

Sounds like you want to do a startup for having the startup.

You should watch "Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares", I am not joking.

People who fare the worst are the ones that want to have a restaurant because they want to have a restaurant for themselves or it is their childhood dream of some sorts.

If you have to think of an idea to setup business for it you are already at a losing position.

Go to create startup when you have an idea that you think is sooo good that you have to setup a business because otherwise you cannot go on with that idea. But don't just pursue finding that idea it should be something you can do better than other, something that you can provide as a service a lot easier than others could do.
