>Ariana Huffington joins Uber's board around the same time and releases her book on the importance of sleep right around this time, and piles of free copies are available in the office

So basically, work 80 hours a week and have Ariana Huffington shill her useless book to you? Uber sounds like a shithole if you ask me. Those people that quit made the right choice
I would guess not, since Samsung used to include a specific blood oxygen sensor right next to the phone camera. If they could do it with one sensor, they wouldn't need to do that.
Additionally consider that you may consider ephemeral environments impractical for daily/frequent use because it would constantly lose your configurations and take forever to bring back up.

But with Nix that becomes much less of an issue.
They called too many people "racist" and so it became mundane. They had to up the ante to "white supremacist." It's become nothing more than a dog whistle.
That's true. However, there wouldn't be much evidence if there's only a relatively small amount of them, or they're really good at hiding their activity. It's also possible that their civilization peaked millions of years ago and they are now mostly existing in some kind of post-biology state, which wouldn't show any signs to the surface.
And ~doge~ research coin!

I'm not sure I understand this.

Is it just me, or does the person being interviewed actually sound a little manic? Obviously, it's not possible to make a diagnosis based on an audio recording, even if I were qualified to do so, but he is talking very fast, which is part of something called "pressured speech," that manic and hypomanic people experience.

Edit: Hmm, okay, I just got to the point where he's been prescribed Adderall, so that could be it, too. Or, of course, he could just be a fast talker.
falling is part of skateboarding as are the cuts and bruises that come with it. with that said, if you learn how to fall correctly (something surprisingly few people know how to do) bad injuries will be extremely rare. slamming is honestly one of those things that is easy to build up in your mind and then when it finally happens it's not bad at all.

Humanity also didn't have widespread intercontinental travel for most of the past 1 million years.

We all live in a single Petri dish now. A few thousand years ago humanity existed in many many isolated communities and was much more resilient to disease. Regular pandemics every ~10 years are very much a side effect of technology.
@tedk-42 what you wrote is almost identical to what gay apologists wrote at the beginning of the AIDS epidemic. They were wrong, and millions died.

Instead of reacting in a hysterical manner to alleged "unconscious bias", I suggest you turn your attention to educating the community you're defending. That would save lives.

My vision doesn’t create a distinction between commercial and personal speech. In fact, it does the opposite, by not privileging commercial speech and giving it a special space on the page. If you want to advertise you wares, do so, but you don’t get to pay to get attention. Get people to follow you because they like what you have to say.
I thought pearls are quite strong, but I learned something today, I just learned that Pearl's Mohs hardness is 2.5 (between gypsum and calcite), meaning very soft in comparison to Diamonds (10).

I had this video in mind:

They do not look they are gentle with them.

Described method has repetitive manual steps:
- put pearls in the trey,
- take a photo
- take out pearls,
- put new ones ...

These steps do not look like much, but if we are talking about amount shown in video can be hundreds of hours.

Phone costs money, and making application costs developer's time and money (so nothing is free) ...

Of course device should be made having in mind handling.

By the way application probably has a lot of sense for small dealers, or jewelries,
>Can monogamy survive in the long-term in a world without consequences to promiscuity?

I guess define consequences? I sure as heck wouldn’t be ok with my wife having sex with other people just because STDs aren’t a problem… the consequence would be divorce with or without the STD.
C++ provides the tools to build robust parallelism that is also optimal, with the giant caveat that implementing it is left to the programmer (and good libraries are not abundant). Rust offers built-in correctness but not optimality, and C++ offers optimality but no built-in correctness. Many massively parallel codes and virtually all massively concurrent codes necessarily lean on latency hiding mechanics for concurrency and safety. Ownership-based safety can’t be determined at compile-time in these cases, but you can prove in many cases that safety can be dynamically resolved by the scheduler at runtime regardless of how many mutable references exist. This has a lot of similarities to agreement-free consistency in HPC, where no part of the system has the correct state of the system but you can prove that the “system” will always converge on a consistent computational result (another nice set of mechanics from the HPC world).

The problem with ownership-based safety for massive parallelism is that the mechanics of agreeing on and determining ownership don’t scale and often can’t be determined at compile-time. Some other safety mechanics don’t have these limitations. C++ doesn’t have them built-in but you can implement them.
Beasts of prey are self-sufficient animals. But certainly not all those with money are avaricious?
My father was an early adopter in home computers, dial-up internet, and IRC communities. While we weren’t poor, our lives weren’t exactly laden with many luxuries. My father saw computers as something to learn from and use as an advantage that other people in our income bracket didn’t have.

And so I grew up with the internet, chatting on forums, instant messengers, and even MMORPGs. Aside from a few friends from school, my social network was online. People like me who grew up in communities that didn’t understand them whether they were nerdy, queer, or just non religious.

In my opinion, the Midwest is a cold, lonely place to grow up without the internet. I’m a queer agnostic narcoleptic without a drivers license —- AKA absolutely screwed for social connections in the Midwest.

I’m sure the author is speaking his truth. I just don’t think he can appreciate what technology has done for people that weren't served by traditional societies. The silence of an open field reminds me of how alone my home town made me feel. The silence of a church weighs heavy on the person considered most sinful. Some of us were born on the internet and our lives are better for it.
It's incredible just how similar this is to the plot of "Person of Interest", where the computer provides the social security number of an individual who will be involved in a violent crime, either as the perpetrator or the victim, and it's up to the show leads to identify who.

The show remains incredibly prescient to this day.
Regan called Al Queda "freedom fighters". Bush called them "terrorists". Activists are people the speaker agrees with, bullies are people he disagrees with. I would rather have a discussion about the issues without needing to get into semantic debates and call out rhetorical non-arguments.

> I’m very curious about videogames development. In particular, I get the impression that aversion to GC in videogames comes down largely to experiences with Java back when pauses could be 300ms. I’m very curious if Go’s sub-millisecond GC (and its ability to minimize allocations, etc) would be amenable to videogame development. Thoughts?

It really just comes down to average/worst case time.

60Hz - 16ms
90Hz - 11ms
120Hz - 8ms
144Hz - 7ms
240Hz - 4ms

Modern games are expected to run anywhere from 60 to 240 frames per second. 60 is the new baseline. VR runs anywhere from 72 to 120. Gaming monitors regularly hit 144Hz. And esports goes as high as 240 and even 360.

In Unity C# GC can take tens of milliseconds. This is, uh, obviously very bad. High tier unity games spend a LOT of time avoiding all allocs. This is not fun in a GC language. Most indie games just hitch and its pretty obvious. I’m not sure if Unity’s incremental GC has graduated from experimental mode.

If a GC had a worst case time of less than a millisecond that’d be fine. That’s actually a pretty big chunk of a 7ms frame, but hey probably worth it. If it’s usually 250us but once a minute spikes to 3ms that’ll cause a frame to miss. If once every 5 minutes it’s a 50ms GC that’s a huge hitch. For a single player game it’s sloppy. For a competitive multiplayer game it’s catastrophic.

Unreal Engine actually has a custom garbage collector. But it’s only for certain days types and not all memory. That’s a nice compromise. Games in particular are good at knowing if the lifetime of an allocation is short, per frame, long-term, etc.
What is the secret meaning of "white supremacist" and who are the only ones that hear that meaning when the term is used?

EDIT: ok. Yea I agree the term is used very broadly. I thought something else was being said.
The real problem with GMO is entirely political. Plants with proprietary DNA engineered to ignore a soil-persistent wide-band herbicide. Short term crop productivity rises, forcing farmers to follow suit. Next, prices drop, costs rises, but you can't go back because fields now can't grow anything else for years. It's agricultural lock-in. Add insecticides that destroys pollinating insects for maximum effectiveness...
AFAIK, there are two kinds of private keys here. There's one key used to encrypt the backups, which can be either local (on the device) or sent to Google's or Apple's servers; that key is AFAIK kept by Facebook (unlike Signal which asks you to write it down), but it's useless without the backup files, which most probably Facebook cannot access directly. The other key is the ratcheting end-to-end encryption key, and AFAIK that's only kept by the device itself; if you have the right option enabled, you can see whenever someone you're talking to installs WhatsApp or Signal on a new device, since you'll be warned that the key has changed.
The intimate relationship is one component of monogamy, there's also having a steady nearly guaranteed sexual partner with low risks.

Ideally you're both monogamous so unless one had STIs before entering the relationship, it's incredibly unlikely either would acquire one and almost certainly not from intercourse but through some other means.

There are people more interested in the low risk stable sexual benefits of a trustworthy monogamous relationship. I personally doubt it's more than the number of people wanting an intimate relationship beyond sex though.

I've been pondering this one myself.

Back when we were using UMC as our foundry, they made us sign some kind of waiver/disclaimer for an MPW, acknowledging that for 200mm wafer runs our mask data would be "accessible to PRC nationals". PRC = mainland China. 200mm is mainly older processes; this was a 180nm chip. UMC is forthright about the fact that they have some older fabs on the mainland, but the waiver was so broad and vague it made me wonder if they had outsourced far more of the 200mm wafer production than was publicly acknowledged.

I'm wondering if a whole bunch of the not-bleeding-edge wafer manufacturers (ST, NXP, etc) did the same thing, setting up extra production lines in China to run their older processes. I'm sure the CPC would offer exceptionally attractive incentives for them to do this, even if the processes are dated. If this is what happened, it (a) soaked up a ton of used 200mm fab equipment the past few years and (b) resulted in these companies having a big chunk of their production in the PRC.

Then the CPC throws a tantrum over the whole tech embargo thing and says "no exports from those lines". The fab owners (ST, NXP, etc) are left scrambling and are desperate not to acknowledge the extent to which they offshored their manufacturing. After all, according to the official statistics the West imports only a tiny sliver of its silicon from China.

Alright, time to hang up the tinfoil hat now...
That seems like an orthogonal question. Maybe Apple has set up their system in a way that (intentionally or not) encourages or necessitates counterfeiting. But those parts may still be counterfeit in the ways that matter to the end user (e.g. not necessarily as safe as they appear to be certified to be).
I've done both Blender and GIMP-only methods and TBH the GIMP method is nice in that you are stuck with one camera shot decided in advance. Eventually in full 3D I start fiddling with camera angles think about all the animation possibilities and it's downhill from there, time-wise. :-)

Though I have also found that it's sometimes nice to block things out with Blender so that the camera perspective is easy to work out quickly and the main shape lines are all blocked in...
Yes I find the best science is debated and evaluated with an up and down arrow.

And double extra bonus points if you can hide other people’s work from view if you don’t agree with it!
Yes, and: in return you get documented guarantees about how much time certain operations are allowed to take. As opposed to “We work hard to make it fast most of the time. But, no promises because sometimes stuff happens.”
> criticism and nitpicking take no effort

Sort of unrelated aside. I recently started working with a new company and team, in a new ecosystem. I’ve found it difficult to ramp up and get productive. But the thing I’ve found most difficult is getting familiar enough to provide meaningful review.

It can take me hours of exploration to fully understand what might intersect with single line code changes. Often I’ve come back with a minor change request, even simply for clarity.

Where it relates is obviously these things are critique, but even picking nits has been hard. Not that I’m even predisposed to do so, but I’m trying to get familiar and provide value.

It turns out that effort has indeed provided value, I’ve caught mistakes just by being thorough and leaving as few stones unturned as possible.

And it’s reinforced to me that criticism and nitpicking take a lot more effort than might be obvious. Sometimes it’s quickly available based on experience, but even then that’s based on prior effort. I’m not saying it’s always welcome or appropriate. But it’s surprising to me to hear people seemingly reflexively say it’s easy.

A whole discipline (QA) is dedicated to it, and integrated disciplines (TDD, property testing) are still suspect for many.

Again, not saying it’s welcome or appropriate here to criticize or nitpick. I’m holding my tongue on several bits of feedback I wanted to say upon using the thing. But I think it’s a disservice to both the effort and value of critique to frame it as effortless and implicitly valueless.

Facebook, Youtube, etc. have sufficient market share (globally even, not just in the US) as to be near monopolies so that argument might not fly at trial; it would be interesting to test it out. If the social and online media companies were broken into many small competing companies such that new ones could spring up easily, then that line of argument might be more plausible.

Either way, the point remains: it's not "blatantly unconstitutional" and corporations can jolly well be compelled to broadcast speech they'd prefer not to. And, in the WLBT case, it's even quite self evidently in the best interest of the public for that to be so, in spite of what progressives have been trying to tell us.
Within the context of the reality that eventually your cousin will have to work and sustain himself, isn’t it rational to capitalize on the immediate free time he has? He may never again get that same stretch of stress-less time to just dither.

I think, on a playing field where people knew they could just literally sit in a chair all day for the rest of their lives, other motivations would eventually reveal themselves besides sloth. People would shift focus to power, charity, status, popularity, etc. As it stands, those games seem to be what make a society more complex, but they are usually reserved for people who have already figured out the money game first...
aRxiv / bioaRxiv / medaRxiv exist, are free and are backed by extremely well known names and institutions in the scientific community. They do not require some random coin, you can just, well, upload a preprint of your work.

They also did the hard work on making sure journals will accept papers uploaded to there.

Maybe they don't have a flashy website but I would much much rather use those than upload my work - which I have invested years of my time + thousands or millions of dollars in - to some random site with founders who are just "from San Francisco".

For those trying to "accelerate science" - please try to take even a modicum of time to understand how science is even being done currently and start from there, instead of making up solutions to problems that don't exist.
Poster mentioned it because it happened and I presume they don’t agree it was constitutional. And because it is an example in which the sort of people hoping regulate social media’s free association prove themselves to be hypocrites rapidly.

We know with extremely high probability. It is genetically very close to bat coronaviruses. It is also not the first. Furthermore, a zoonotic coronavirus pandemic was already on the "Disease X" list, so it wasn't completely unexpected.

What we don't know yet is how it jumped from bats to humans. Is it direct? Is there an intermediate host? (pangolin?)

The more reasonable conspiracy theory is that the virus escaped from the Wuhan lab, possibly as a result of gain of function experiments. But originally, it is still bats, and what they could have done is not something nature is incapable of.
The secret meaning is "anyone I disagree with and wish to hush up", and the ones who hear are anyone who also wishes the interlocutor would hush up

What a strange non sequitur. I've never said "I don't need a bell because I have an Air Zound" or vice versa. There's no overlap in when I'd use them.

The Air Zound isn't a polite way of telling a pedestrian or cyclist you're passing them. It's more like yelling "move over, jackass!" I can count on one hand the number of times I've used mine on a trail—only when folks were (perhaps deliberately) unaware of more subtle attempts at communication and blocking me from passing and/or doing something reckless. In the few cases I did use it on a trail, people involuntarily jumped in response.

On the other hand, the Air Zound is a way of telling cars "I'm here" / "be careful" / "don't do the stupid thing I see in your eyes". I use it in that way almost daily. (Maybe as much a commentary on the drivers around here as anything else.) A bell just wouldn't work for that at all. They really wouldn't physically hear it.

(I'm a road cyclist and the trails I ride are paved urban creek trails rather than mountain bike tracks, but I think the etiquette is similar.)

I don't understand. How would you propose protecting a website from DDoS attacks? What sort of design would address that?
CMYK is only for print - but a pro artist is gonna send a lot of stuff to print. Even in this age of a lot of digital distribution:

Someone's gotta do the packaging for almost everything you buy at stores.

Go to a convention: someone designed all the signage for the con, the badges, as well as the individual booths and any amount of what they may be selling. Plus all the fliers and stickers whatnot people want to hand out.

Gotten anything shipped lately? Did it come in a box with more than one color on it? Those are probably a couple of spot inks, rather than CMYK. That's a thing where instead of mixing a color from little dots of the primaries, you load up a tank in the printer with ink mixed to a very specific color.

Got a collection of Pokemon cards? Pull out those extra-rare ones with the foil and gloss and stuff. The precise process for actually putting those on the card varies and may not involve anything resembling "ink" at all but a lot of those are specified as spot inks too.

I could probably come up with more examples but there is a cat milling about my ankles who is very vocal about her need for some playtime. :)

Automated RGB-to-CMYK translation has gotten better over the years but if you are a pro, you will probably have had enough nasty surprises when that fails that you know how to do it yourself, maybe you're even like me and work in CMYK to begin with as a rule so that you never have to fuck around with finessing that translation.
I'm one of the ones who found working from home during covid to be beneficial. I know some did not enjoy working from home but I certainly did.

Working from home gave me 2 hours back that I lost from travel to and from the office. I was able to invest a bit of that time into improving my processes and knowledge. This made me happier.

I noticed a number of other things contributed to my wellbeing while working from home:

I ate healthier (less eating out / fastfood).
I did more exercise (knowing I need to exercise if stuck at home).
I have better equipment at home than I have in my office.
I get interrupted less.
I saved money.
I have kids and see them more, this is very important to me.

After people started to return to work in the office, I felt quite drained going back. I do go into the office again but much less than average person.

So far no one has complained with my intermittent WFH schedule. I tend to feel guilty at times the biggest downside of not being in the office is feeling like an outsider.
I will add one thank you :)
