Yeah, the HR role has been systematically sabotaged since its inception, by way of appointing weaker and weaker nominees and starving it of any real power. At the moment it's a glorified PR position, with no decisional power whatsoever. Javier Solana effectively lost the battle for being the EU "foreign minister" and since then it's all been about individual member states.

Chances are this will not change until there is a serious rethinking of the European role in NATO. As long as the big decisions are taken there, there is no real role for an EU "ministry" beyond trade interests.

I’m a little confused could you explain a little more detail why you think this is parallel construction?

You’re probably right that they already knew who he was, and probably had some evidence that he was drug dealing, certainly enough to arrest him. But unequivocally proving he’s a dealer is still tricky, especially establishing intent. The image made it possible to tie the individuals real world identity to their “anonymous” identity, and thus associate it with clear intent to distribute drugs (presumably they also had his chat history).

If the chat system he was using was compromised by police with a lawful warrant to compromise the service, then what right was violated? How is it different to police infiltrating online forums, or even just physical locations that dealers are know to spend time in?
I mention this briefly, but with re-syncing it is possible to end up in a situation where you end up re-sending the game state on each check interval - more so with a full-state CRC since floating-point errors can make values binary different long before the difference would result in a visible desync. Floating point issues are thus generally approached by using fixed-point math instead.

Doing a CRC of full game state also poses some additional requirements - e.g. any pointers must be relative offsets and any dynamic allocation should be deterministic and within the same block. It does, however, also make it easier to implement serialization/deserialization, as mentioned by Jyaif in another comment here.

> I know that people can joke about the west in Russia but are people allowed to make jokes about their own government in Russia and in the associated eastern european states? Is it like China yet?

Yes, plenty of people inside those countries do not like regime and openly discuss it on public internet websites. I don't know about China situation so I can't make a direct comparison. If you're very popular blogger and you'll make direct insults to Putin (or any other person with high position), you might be fined or even jailed, there are laws prohibiting insults against people, but those cases are very rare. And nobody hunts ordinary people.

> I'm guessing not as there's no visible list of banned words and phrases, but we don't see (in HN) much criticism of Russia, Belarus from there, just attacks on the hypocrisy of the West.

Huh? HN is pretty much against Russia, Belarus, etc. Those who try to defend usually are heavily downvoted and labeled as kremlin bots.

Anyway people usually are gathered with similar viewpoints. Any outsiders are expelled quickly. I know web forums, where most of people are holding pro-Russian viewpoint and I know web forums, where most of people are holding pro-West viewpoint. But I know no webforum with balanced opinion. I think that for US people Republicans vs Democrats might be a close analogy.

This is what I am looking forward to. In the case for Apple Silicon, the next generation will be even better and is not far off from announcing the newer processors that will supersede M1 in WWDC.

The M1 only shows what's possible for Apple Silicon and the newer generation of ARM-based Macs will impress further. So will skip this one for now and wait what WWDC has to offer for the next generation.
I agree. At the same time Borrell has enough independence to make him a distinct face. He decides where he goals, what to say, how to behave when the EU is being mocked. Even if you say that he is just a glorified PR, he is an awful PR.

It looks that I'm picking on him, but he is just a very good example. I can talk a lot about others, but this thread is politicized enough already.

> People telling me that its a choice - even in an an affirming way still makes me all but violently angry to be very honest - because it presumes that I would chose to be a victim - which runs head long into my own ideological views. Being a victim is something that is generally outside if your control, and not something you'd willingly choose.

Yes. In case it was unclear, I don't think being gay is a choice. As a man I know very well there is no choice involved with what makes you aroused and what doesn't. My point was that it's really a separate issue and the fact it's not a choice should not be the reason it's "allowed". I'm not gay, but there should be nothing wrong with me choosing to take part in gay sex as long as nobody is being harmed.

> Another thing I'd note - I should have the same right to talk about my personal life as everyone else does - straight folks talk about their wives, girlfriends, husbands and boyfriend - I ought to be able to do the same. I shouldnt need to leave a whole sector of my life out to deal with someone else's sensibilities.

You're right and I completely agree. This is the kind of "normalisation" I think that was initially the goal and one that I continue to support. I think the feeling is it's gone a bit beyond that, though. It's not just an incidental mention of a same sex partner, it's bright blue hair and constant signalling where it isn't necessary. The gay men (that I'm aware of) at my work are completely professional and really have only ever asked for equality, nothing more.

> There is a difference here - I agree with you that the goalpost has moved, but not where the goalpost moved to - it's not just acknowledgement, I'd argue that its moved to celebrate.

This is something I can't relate to. Maybe it's because I'm not part of minority. I'm not proud to be straight. I'm not proud to be a man either (in the sense that I have XY chromosomes and balls). I just am those things. I was born with it. Why would I be proud of it? It's not what defines me. When I introduce myself to people I tell them my name. If they enquire further I will tell them my interests and achievements. I don't say "hi, I'm a straight, white man who was born that way". I don't understand being proud of something you were born with, especially something as insignificant as who you like to have sex with.

I think the GP meant that a motherboard with soldered-on components would be more likely to fail because of a bad capacitor or liquid damage than because of the soldered-on RAM or CPU, not more likely than other motherboards with swappable RAM and CPU.

You may have interpreted the statement the latter way. If interpreted as I suggested, surely it's fairly uncontroversial? Capacitors are quite notorious for failing.
This is very cool, well done!

The HR post is a bit of an in-joke in European circles. It's being given to 2nd-rate European politicians who like to travel, and has zero effective power. The hard decisions are all taken among NATO members and are then ratified in the European Council.

Sadly this is one of the current issues of the EU project, nation-states flatly refuse to hand over anything related to defense. It's a great victory for the US.

Developers working with C-like languages might not like Lua because of its different looks and behaviour. I was in the same situation and started looking into Squirrel because of that. But eventually I went back to Lua, for one important reason: The ecosystem. Lua has a lot of adjacent tools and a huge community. If you want to do something in Squirrel, you will be much more on your own, which can be frustrating. Lots of Lua's quirks can be easily worked around, but lack of a community supporting the language can't. This is especially important if you want to open your scripting API to users of your software.
Indeed, Python is one of the most well behaved scripting languages for WebAssembly, and people were running in browser for a good while already with WebAsembly predecessors (emscripten and asm.js).
And it keeps going and going up! Maybe it was enough for most when land was cheaper. Prices have skyrocketed.

Hi, I'm another researcher at the Music Technology Group, which runs Freesound. Definitely, this one of our long-time challenges.

Facilitating search and exploration is one of our main research directions related to Freesound. We do audio ML research, in particular, audio-based auto-tagging (see the already mentioned Freesound Datasets https://annotator.freesound.org/fsd/ we've built for this purpose) but also similarity and clustering based on audio analysis and tags.

So far, Freesound API provides similarity search and audio analysis features.

Have a look at the Freesound Explorer, which is an example of a 2D sound exploration interface built on top of audio features: https://labs.freesound.org/apps/2017/08/21/freesound-explore...
Not sure what you are trying to say here. As mentioned in the tweet, he is revered because his research truly did improve agriculture. As opposed to the previous generation of agriculture researchers that worked on the Great Leap Forward that caused the famine.

Yuan Longping's breakthrough happened in the 70s. The great famine happened in early 60s.

I agree. My comment was mostly from the perspective of a software engineer. I have not achieved financial independence. Is no where close at the moment. But still the philosophy remains. I don't think it's that hard to achieve financial independence especially if you are a software engineer. So giving up even before trying is not the most optimimum decision I think.

> completely different legal system, history, and culture

America's legal system, while divergent nowadays, owes a lot to the UK's and they have a substantially common history, and American lawyers + judges still cite (pre-independence) English cases and thinkers from time to time -

'The [US Supreme] Court’s references to Blackstone [english lawyer/politician/judge] have increased tenfold since the 1930s, so that the Commentaries is now cited in 1 in 13 cases. At the same time, practically nobody reads it. Indeed, part of Blackstone’s persuasive power today comes from his text’s simultaneous familiarity and mystery. The Court capitalizes on Blackstone’s status as a kind of mythical ancestor – the “oracle of the law in the mind of the American framers,” citing Blackstone for the original meaning of the Constitution. ' e.g. https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2402231

[ But yeah, US-centric projection can be wearying. ]
Why are you ignoring the whole purpose of this case? Apple has created an anti-competitive environment that allows them to dictate terms by controlling app distribution on its devices. If there were alternative ways to distribute apps on an iOS device, we wouldn't be having this discussion.
I think it's proof that people really like the camera, or the battery life, or the calculator app, or etc.

Without actually asking people, how are sales numbers proof that buyers care a lot about any specific aspect of the product?

And why is everyone forgetting that obviously Apple does ask people and run focus groups, they know very well what their customers are most interested in.
> any monthly payment can be made with the right down payment.

Or by stretching out the payment period to 60, 72, 84, … months.

> The average loan term for a new car also hit a record high of 70.6 months in March [2020]. The most common term currently is for 72 months, with an 84-month loan not too far behind. In fact, nearly 70% of new car loans in the first quarter of 2020 were longer than 60 months — an increase of about 29 percentage points in a decade.

Probably they mean using the gcc backend. That seems like a huge hassle, but might be possible if rustup would distribute libgccjit configured for different architectures.
I think what you say is true. Anyway, I do not need state-of-the-art technology in my case. Basically I really wanted, and I think (in order of importance, but being the two former points the most important with a big difference), this:

1. Concurrency support

2. Easy to bind into C++

3. Familiarity, etc.

Namely, if only Lua had existed and provided that Sol2 exists and makes it bind it to C++ easy, I would have chosen that. But since Wren + WrenBind17 existed, Wren had more familiar syntax and it was a viable choice, I went for that. I was trying to find the past of least resistance (lower learning curve, easier to bind, concurrency making my code easier, since I am familiar already with most patterns)

As for ChaiScript, it was the first thing I took since it was so easy to embed. But it had its own problems: lack of concurrency and it does not point the file and line of errors, which is very painful because it drops your productivity.

And scripting... scripting is about productivity, at least that is what I was using it for.

This was over one of those all in one encrypted messaging phones where you have to trust a single entity. Such things are eventually subverted by the powers that be due to that single point of failure. So I don't think this can be extended to some sort of general principle.
Rosetta is faster than native in that case because the AArch64 JIT has to fall back to the interpreter for memchecks (unlike the x86-64 JIT).
Lie, it's far from "the same". The flight started from Kyiv and still was in the Ukrainian airspace.
So what? Famine has been a thing long before and long after the birth of any modern day ideology. (I say “modern day” because I’m not sure if the very first hunter-gatherers had ideologies.) Even if famine was never a thing, increasing crop yields is still worthwhile research that directly benefits mankind, and it goes beyond boundaries.

A scientist who devoted their entire life to ending hunger just passed away and all you can do is post some generic ideological bait. Somewhere along your ideological quest a line of basic human decency is crossed.

> Since Dolphin is a JIT, this seems to be a case of where Rosetta's JIT is smarter than Dolphin's in terms of which ARM instructions are chosen when converting from the Intel instructions than Dolphin

According to the article, the AArch64 JIT isn’t as complete as the x86 one so some less common instructions are emulated, not JITed. I imagine a game that uses a lot of these is slower with the native ARM version.

I don't disagree with their plight but it does raise the question of where transgender athletes should compete.

Male-to-female athletes likely have an advantage over female athletes but a disadvantage over similarly aged males that aren't undergoing hormone treatments.

Female-to-male athletes are probably different again, probably less severe than the former case though but still creating an advantage over natural females and still at a disadvantage to male athletes.

No one likes to advocate for a special category but I think it might be the best option from a fairness perspective even if it's at odds with modern thinking on gender identity.

A big part of the performance of these machines came from high bandwidth memory access. This is high performance more in the sense of an 18-wheeler than in the sense of an F1 car. The point is more about predictable control flow and bulk manipulation of data than it is lots of tricky control flow, etc.

Of course, this analogy isn't really complete in that it misses the fact that Cray's machines also pushed the limits on cycle times. As his career evolved, his focus shifted from circuit design to reduction of propagation delay with more tightly packaged machines, then to cooling those tightly packaged machines, and then ultimately to GaAs as a way to get switching times down.

So not just an 18-wheeler, but one that happens to run at 200 mph, with all sorts of custom high-end engineering to make that happen with technologies of the era. The fact that these days, we can emulate this with programmable hardware is an amazing testament to exactly how much hardware has improved over the years.

Something else I should mention is that Cray also had an element of design conservatism to his work. The Cray 1 is famous for being a vector supercomputer, but it was not the first - his former employer, CDC, beat him to the punch with the CDC Star. Unfortunately for CDC, they got the balance of the design wrong. The Star wound up with vector capabilities that took too long to set up to be performant and scalar performance that was too slow to make up the gap. Cray's design for the Cray 1 got around both of these limitations, which is part of why it was as successful as it was.
Look, ignoring moral standing, every countries have fugitives they want to capture. Talking about motive is meaningless. How that being carried out is important. Morales' entourage weren't in danger. They could have chosen to land in Vienna to send a message for all we know.

Interestingly, a lot of the system services on macOS run on the power efficient but slow cores on the M1, keeping the beefy cores to user applications. I wonder if Linux can have an attribute for executables that indicate a preference of which kind or processor it should be preferably scheduled to.
