There's a difference between outlawing enforcement of segregation by law and enforcing laws requiring people to go to schools they may not want their kids to go to. I think calling the second "finishing" the first is misleading.

However, there is a huge problem in school funding. The fact that school funding is primarily local means that poor neighborhoods get bad schools. That is a huge problem. We definitely should make funding of schools more egalitarian. Eliminating local funding in favor of state funding would do a lot for the public school system I think. But I also think giving parents more choice in schooling would also be a big win.
Immediately pressed ctrl+o when I read this. Went to "Images" folder. Yes, thumbnails are there.
Those "flavors" are still part of the name. That doesn't make it any simpler than XBox One [S/X].

Similarly I'd be surprised if the next Windows would be only named that. My guess is they'll just add something to Windows 10. After all from what I gathered it's mostly an upgraded Windows 10. Though Windows 10X is out, they already burned that one.
Phthalates. Hormone disrupter. Bad news over the long term.
For newer tape formats the prices are similar or even a little lower.

For example, at Amazon in Europe an LTO-7 cartridge is EUR 48 for 6 real TB (EUR 8 per real TB), while an LTO-8 cartridge is EUR 84 for 12 real TB (EUR 7 per real TB).

At Amazon USA I see now $48 for LTO-7 and $96 for LTO-8, i.e. $8 per TB if you buy 1 tape. For larger quantities, there are discounts.

Older formats like LTO-6 have the advantage that you may find much cheaper tape drives, but you must handle more cartridges for a given data size.

Currently the cheapest HDDs are the external USB drives with 5400 rpm, which are much slower, about 3 times slower than the tapes, but even those are many times more expensive than the tapes (e.g. $27 ... $30 per TB).
According to Radford Neal,
it is possible to sum a sequence of n-bit floating point numbers exactly, i.e. rounding to the n-bit floating point value closest to the exact result.

The algorithm uses 2n bits for the sum. https://radfordneal.wordpress.com/2015/05/21/exact-computati...
Isn't 802.11x the right solution? MAC addresses can be faked easily; 802.11x forces actual authentication (and encryption, IIRC?).
Oh very cool. You wrote your own ECS. I toyed with ECSY but realized it's not performant for games. Opinionated event messaging hmm.

Mine's a low-res MMO client/server in JS. I loved Ultima Online and experimented with 'military' isometric projection, but landed back on 3D.
You're assuming someone with no assets also has no debt. That isn't really the case in real life. People have student debt, credit card debt, etc.
I use Windows 7 on my 2012 desktop, Mac on my laptops, and Linux for some of my own personal development. At this point, my desktop is a glorified web browser but I still mainly use that because I like it the best. Since I don't play games on my computers, I've yet to find a reason to switch either my hardware or software on my Windows system.
> Right out of the bat there is a page where you need to uncheck all the spyware crap and there are so many it scrolls.

This also doesn't even remotely turn off all of the spyware and phone-home, and you have to run something like WPD after install to finish the job.

> I think if anyone truly wants a home and is willing to do whatever they need to in order to get it, they can get it. Same goes for just about everything else, if you want something, and you're willing to do whatever it takes to get it, you can do it.

You may be right, but people come in a normal distribution, with most being just average. To "do whatever it takes" implies a person on the extreme right of the distribution, and most people aren't there. So while it may be possible to buy a home, if it takes extreme effort to do it, most people won't.

Whereas, when I grew up in the 60's, my dad worked as a bag boy at Kroger, then a meatcutter. We had a small 3br house, 2 kids, a car, a motorcycle, a boat, insurance on all this stuff, and mom worked out of the house doing babysitting and ironing. They were still in their early 20's and got married right out of high school. We eventually had 2 cars while still in this house, around '65. Nothing even remotely like this would be possible today.
When the only way to access the value of your property is to pay a rent (interest) to someone else, then that isn't really easy access, now is it?
Very cool! The walkthrough was slick. You mentioned a few use cases up in the OP - would love to see videos of those being built out, too. I bet you could run some fun games like Mafia or Two Booms in a Room with this.

Looking forward to a demo of the attendee side of things.
It has potential. But it is better than open source only if you trust all the maintainers in the organization. And previous maintainers who have now left the org.

And only if the codebase is routinely looked over and tested, no part of the codebase gets forgotten and becomes unmaintainable because somebody left the company.

Open source has the added benefit that maintainers typically don't disappear complete from the project overnight because they got a new job/were fired.
I believe it's because rich people usually own assets that correlate hard with inflation and are therefore inflation-hedged.
Someone on HN once mentioned that anti-USPO plays are likely aimed at "freeing up" all the prime real estate the USPO owns in cities all over the country for private buyers, which was the thing that finally made some people and groups' evident hate and ill-wishing for the post office make sense to me. I'm sure killing some competition is also a factor for certain interests, but that was never enough, I thought, to explain all the forces working against them.
> IMO it comes down to this: do we advocate for laws that give companies the ability to decide what is right/safe for the public, or do we advocate for laws that reflect trust in the individual?

> Why is downtime acceptable?

At least where I'm working downtime is acceptable because our customer base is composed of professionals in north america that work 9-5 thus taking the DB offline for five minutes at midnight PST has essentially no cost to our client base. To contrast that, spending three months developing a rollout plan costs our company dearly in competitive advantage.

I agree that it's always worth examining from both sides but I also think that 0 downtime migration is both a shiny interesting problem and a point of pride for developers that can cause a company to vastly over invest in a complex technical solution to a problem they never had.
Ah yes I used "Files" and not the file picker. I guess the file picker is part of GTK and therefore cannot use the rest of the gnome infrastructure?
If you like this sort of thing there’s a whole book on them that I found really enjoyable: Dubious Doublets by Stewart Edelstein.

* Bid - Buddha
* Hieroglyphics - Clever

> The SSD is very fast at appends, but changing data is much slower.

No, it's worse than that. The fact that it's an overly subtle distinction is the problem.

SSDs are fast while write traffic is light. From an operational standpoint, the drive is lying to you about its performance. Unless you are routinely stress testing your system to failure, you may have a very inaccurate picture of how your system performs under load, meaning you have done your capacity planning incorrectly, and you will be caught out with a production issue.

Ultimately it's the same sentiment as people who don't like the worst-case VACUUM behavior of Postgres - best-effort algorithms in your system of record make some people very cranky. They'd rather have higher latency with a smaller error range, because at least they can see the problem.
I understand this argument, but if I had to choose right now which coin would be the best for my country, I would still go with Bitcoin. You don't get to choose which coin has the most backing, or the most diverse set of players from around the world.
This has to be related to the additions and changes relating to the linux subsystem MS has been developing. I suspect they have been working behind the scenes to maintain backwards compatibility for NT systems along with their .net 5 development.

If all programmers decide to be paid in crypto, and you need a programmer, the crypto has the same value as USD ("backed by programmers")
If everyone in your economy decides to be paid in crypto, USD will find itself in a very bad position.

Your economy is now driven by USD, but it's not a law in any way.
I wonder if this is simply a financial decision to get more money out of institutions that are using win10 and need the support... I think there is no technical reason for this move, because the Windows core code base does not seem to have changed that much since Windows 10 - or even Vista/2000 - and there are no breakthrough changes coming that I'm aware of. This also seems like a bit of a back paddling move after having announced that Win10 be essentially a rolling release. In any case I don't mind either way, because I don't use Windows, but it looks like it could again cost millions of tax payer money to our state's institutions that somehow can't wane themselves of Windows, even though alternatives exist.
Just in case: it's a St. Paul's sword, not a dagger.
> For some reason my gut says it won't be called Windows 11. I have a feeling it will be called something confusing or unappealing. Love MS products but they always fell short with branding.

This strikes me as so odd, both because to me Microsoft products don't have a singular vibe that I could rule on, and because Windows, to me, is obviously the worst Microsoft product by a mile. Like, of things I've used recently:

• Windows Terminal is outstanding, easily the best terminal emulator available on the platform

• PowerShell is top-notch as a shell language, and has rightly revolutionized the design of shell languages to follow

• winget is kinda a sad story and can probably never really be what it ought to because of the way most software is distributed on Windows anyway

• WSL1 is crazy ambitious and cool, absolutely love it

• WSL2 is very nice to have but much less interesting as a project than WSL1

• Windows itself is horrifying— after having been away from Windows since Windows 7, just the _installer_ for Windows 10 left me shocked and repulsed

Is there a particular unifying theme or aspect of Microsoft products that draws you to them? Or do you just kinda happen to like a lot of them for very different sorts of reasons?

Weird, not sure why that happened - maybe it's just cached for me? But yeah that's the thread.
"Windows 10" isn't a version in the same way "Windows 7" was, if you haven't upgraded your OS to a new one that still happens to be called "Windows 10" in 18 months you're out of support (barring LTS release, education, or enterprise versions which have their own lifecycles). I.e. just because it says "Windows 10" in the name doesn't mean you're on anything that resembles the original "Windows 10" that launched in 2015.

As such I think what is happening here isn't a "please pick to upgrade to the new version of Windows" popup that feels like a special upgrade rather just another thing that will be pushed down via standard windows update automatically to replace the old version of 10 while nobody notices - as has happened since Windows 10 released. Except this time it has more changes than a typical Windows 10 release and likely a marketing update (maybe changing the name to "Windows 11" but I think more likely they are just going to call it "Windows" because of the above changes in the way updates work and Windows 7 and 8 support ending leaving only this version).
Windows 10 objectively has serious issues, the control panels being an obvious example. I am a Windows dev and it’s not their worst OS, but it’s at best average.
> So technically even you can replace those chips, you can't buy them.

They don't even need to resort to this. If the chip requires programming, they keep the chip protected from read and the code locked and bingo: you can buy an identical one but it won't work without the original code. Pretty much any digital product in existence works like that today. One could have the entire BOM of an iPhone available, but without their iron level firmware, all programmable chips would just sit there doing nothing thus making the device unusable.
Microsoft teases new Windows 11 startup sound with 11-minute video
Yes, cool dude indeed! Glad you mention him, I was thinking of him when I saw this article. He visited the group where I was doing my PhD many years ago and also gave a fantastic talk on evolution, learning, and artificial life -- I was quite impressed. He has some cool stuff in his website too (http://shinyverse.org/larryy/).
> When I think about it, I can't think of any compelling reason why that should be the case. Trapped electrons vs magnetic regions; I have no intuition which one of them is likely to be more stable.

My layman intuition (which could be totally wrong) is that trapped electrons have a natural tendency to escape due to pure thermal jitter. Whereas magnetic materials tend to stick together, so there's at least that. Don't how much of this matches the actual electron physics/technology though...
When people decide to use crypto instead of USD, your economy is not backed by USD anymore.
Hi,
This is because the Rent3D dataset we extend has a "non-commercial use only" term.
/proc has surely killed some user apps. If you were expected to see a fixed number of lines, a fixed number of columns or the fields to mean the same thing, you're in for suffering. At least I know of meminfo changes, stuff in /proc/net...

But to be honest, so have ifconfig, hostname, df...

At least in procfs they add things (columns, lines) so apart from meminfo I don't know of changing the meaning of fields.
> I hope you have everything redundant, including the CEO

Made me laugh, I'll sure reuse it!
"The 11-member committee voted nearly unanimously in November that Biogen's drug should not be approved, citing inconclusive evidence that the drug was effective.

"The FDA on Monday gave the drug “accelerated approval,” based on evidence that it can reduce a likely contributor to Alzheimer’s, rather than proof of a clear benefit against the disease."

Aren't we on the third or fourth round of "likely contributor to Alzheimer's" that turns out not to provide significant benefits?
That's also how you end up with wars.

Maybe. But it is better than the alternative? It's the quickest solution. Have a look at what happened when Venezuela ended up launching the Petro.
> Bitcoin is wildly deflationary. Therefore it does not encourage an economy to function

With the rapid increase of the Money Supply of the USD, this is no different than any other Asset, especially Buyback driven stocks(where the supply diminishes over time!). To store value you also need to hold onto them with white knuckles. It also does not encourage an economy to function, hence why our GDP growth has slowed to a halt.

We Should Rename the Internet
This is correct. The associate would need their compensation to be rising at the rate of inflation (which it certainly wont) in order to take advantage of increased purchasing power vs their debt. If rich person xyz has a net worth mostly denominated in assets that at least keep pace with inflation they can take out fixed rate debt and inflation will devalue it in -comparison- to their other assets.

I agree about editable, but it's a critical piece of information. Users already deal with the concept that some files are images, some are audio, some are documents and so forth without apparent problems understanding that. The concept that different types of documents have different random letters at the end isn't a huge step.

Pretending extensions aren't a thing hasn't been successful in terms of security (see ATTACHMENT.doc.exe for details) and I question whether it's at the end of the day provided any benefits from reduced complexity.
>> Even in dating women demand millionaires, average Joes are treated like disposable good for nothing who women say are creeps because they don't have money to build their IG brand and devour women with lavish gifts.

This is a ridiculous caricature of women. Most women aren't spending their time building IG brands, counting lavish gifts, and petulantly demanding millionaires. This sounds like a cartoon villain or something from a reality TV show.

Most women are trying to find their place in the world, figure out their goals, establish a career with reasonable prospects, work on hobbies, create a support network of friends, and hopefully find a partner to start a family.

If your attitude towards women is that they are money-hungry, delusionally entitled, and over-demanding then I'm not surprised they don't waste their time trying to convince you otherwise. They are busy spending time with people and looking for partners who don't treat them like delusional, spoiled children.
Nah, candidates ghost all the time.
These cheetsheets aren't meant to be printed off and carried into your open book tests. They are meant to be greppable formula lookups. They're useful if you can define the problem but don't know the equation off your head to solve it. Think something like differentiating a trig function after you haven't used it in a while or looking up some statistical approximation.
The best way to kill something is by saying "yes, we'll get to that next, don't worry!" and then never get to it.
"In my experience, the people that do tend to become star performers are those for whom the new job represents some kind of logical career progression – or a change of direction." -- Mitch Sullivan is spot on.

The reality is that wages have not kept up with inflation.

https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2018/08/07/for-most-us...
Don't wages generally go up with inflation too? If you have no money saved to devalue, how are you harmed? If you have debt, you are helped. It seems like the cases where you would have harm is if you have savings and/or you do not get a raise to help with inflation, and little or no debt in both cases.

This is a tricky subject. Take the TARP loans post-GFC. These have pretty much all been repaid (and most were by 2011). So while it still qualifies as a bailout there's a difference between extending a line of credit and just giving banks money.

So I'm curious what you're specifically referring to because most of the time people conflate loans and handouts.

Not that there aren't egregious examples here. One of the biggest (IMHO) was the LTCM bailout.
