Considering the absolute dominance on HPC for a few years now, I don't think there is competition against Linux at the moment in terms of performance. Last time a non Linux system appeared in the top500 list was in June 2017.
I think this is a very fair assessment of a better approach, which allows it where necessary, but not by default.
This crate has no tests, and no documentation beyond a usage example; it would do much better as a copy/paste than an entire dependency, in any ecosystem. It would be great to have as part of some extended "utils" package if it can't be included in the standard library (something like C++'s boost or Java's Apache Commons).

Not a scientific codebase, but ffmpeg seems to benefit massively from optimization

I use it to encode my DVD and Blu Ray TV/movies to HEVC. Doing so reduces the filesize on DVD's by roughly 80% and Blu Rays by 60%

The downside is the encoding is an incredibly CPU intensive process. Hardware encoders like Nvidia's Nvenc or Intel's QuicSync look absolutely terrible and are a non-starter for archival storage

On a stock Fedora XFCE install, I would get roughly 0.5 FPS for a 1080p Blu Ray file (29.97 FPS at 1920x1080)

A Gentoo Linux installation with a global -O3 -march=native as well as LTO, PGO and Graphite enabled globally boosts it from 0.5 to roughly 1.3 FPS. Still slower than realtime, but an absolutely massive improvement
Python 2-3 is a great COUNTER example of what I'm saying.

There was no intermediate release that could run both python2 and python3 code.

It introduced new features AND removed the old ones all at once.

Ever tried Azure Customvision? Building image classification / object detection models is trivial using this platform. I was highly surprised by the accuracy and low cost... I mean anyone who can upload and tag images can make a production ready image classification model at pretty low cost...
Apologies, you are correct - he was prosecuted for failing to warn shareholders about the financial impact of the emissions scandal, not for taking part in the scandal itself.

As for coal - Germany accounts for 45% of all coal consumed in the EU, so Mr. Diess can look much closer to home. Secondly - it's meaningless anyway, until the very energy-intensive materials that comprise an EV are not made in Asian countries that burn an astronomical amount of coal to power their industries.

There was no disconnect between productivity and compensation due to the "slow decline of unions" from 1954 to 1972

The US went off the gold standard in mid 1971, and the productivity/comp divergence starting happening in 1972.

A lot of changes to the economy can be traced to 1972.

In a similar vein, anyone knows how to read the patience of sellers and buyers by looking at the charts?

I guess one could see whether some standard price moves seem "interrupted" by intermittent selling? So e.g., the price in a previously established channel doesn't hit the upper resistance as much as the lower resistance?

Any other takes?
For example, the T in often is supposed to be silent

That's funny... I always considered (and pronounced) the t in often as a (or something close to a) thorn. To me, the sound is in between official and oven.
I bought a Remarkable 2 myself, and I have to say I'm really happy with it. The built in e-reader was a bit mediocre, but a quick SSH session and a couple community scripts later and with just a long swipe across the screen I could access Koreader whenever I wanted.
The situation is completely reversed outside of a NYC like dense area where everyone has cars. Once you have a car, it makes economic sense to use it and you will likely drive near a grocery store at some point in the week. The grocery stores are also not constrained on space so the quality is much higher and rent or land costs less so prices are lower too.

Although, I do have to say grocery stores in London and Toronto were much nicer than NYC in my experience, so it may be a cultural/customer demand thing too.
What about cable over fluid disc brakes for a commute bicycle?

Indeed.

I think when I'd heard of GIMP it maybe raised an eyebrow but nothing much beyond that. Anything more about it just seems like an immature and probably harmless joke, but that's just me.

When it comes to genitalia, there's literally hundreds of euphemisms - which seems to be the nature that language takes for primal things. There has to be a balance or Johnson & Johnson may need to rethink their name, too.
So glad you said this because the last month feels like a continual stream of ‘WTF is going on’ for me as every day brings a new event of chaos and disorder.
> U.N. experts said Monday they had “credible information”...

> Chinese spokesperson called on the U.N. experts to “immediately correct their mistakes, discard bias against China, stop blatant slandering of China … and act in an impartial and objective manner.”

How did they get the information? who are the experts? What is the scale of the harvesting? Is there proof I can look at? How does this relate to other organ harvesting accusations I've been hearing about for the past 2 years, did they learn something new?

Without any details the article doesn't accomplish much of anything.

* Deniers have no reason to change their position.

Ideally there should be more nuance in patent durations. 20 years for a new steam turbine design seems entirely reasonable. 20 years for a new electronic gadget like an improved LED seems too long.

But any way to get different patent durations would probably be gamed and/or unfair, so maybe just reducing the patent duration to 10 years is the best approach.
I approve of this change. As a male, this name seemed questionable well before the whole master vs slave etc nomenclature debate in CS. It's weird to retain a name that's clearly got negative connotations.
Besides Dell XPS (which I quite like), Lenovo X1 Carbon is also very competitive. Neither are ARM, though

Sounds like I've had much better luck with my XPS 13 than the other commenter. Only issue is trackpad but I think it worked fine on Windows and it's just hard to get configured right on Fedora
So one that I saw on Twitter had a supervisor (M) saying to a student (F) they hadn’t previously met “So I hear you really like Coq.” No harassment intended, but plenty of awkwardness (including on the part of the supervisor after he’d heard what he’d said).

Nothing major, but a) you can see how something like that could happen all the time and just be draining to deal with b) I don’t think changing the name is that major either.
It won't happen. EU bureaucracy just likes to travel from one capital to another and enjoying 5 star comfort pretending to be extremely busy completely disconnected from reality.

Its not that they haven't poured in huge amounts of cash into science and tech. Its that its all gone into building ivory towers even more disconnected from reality. So the people in those ivory towers have no clue how to compete in a ruthless world.

When someone just gets cash grants without loosing sweet and blood how the fuck are they supposed to compete with people around the world who have that experience?

We are talking about APIs (Application Programming Interfaces), not implementations. Of course you are free to change the implementation of your API at any moment, as long as you keep the semantic and performance characteristics.

If you have a much improved design which allows for a better implementation then it would be perfectly fine if you reimplement the old API on top of the new API. As long as this is strictly transparent (source and binary, if this makes sense), then why not.

Linus attitude about not breaking user space is the correct one.
It's 17 lines of code (11 if you don't count the white space). If you find it somewhere and copy it to your utils package, that's great! If you add a dependency for every little utility you may need, you're going to end up with huge space for ecosystem attacks, as we're seeing in the Node ecosystem. Especially for something like this, where people can add it as a dependency because they don't want to understand macro code (there is another comment saying just that).
I recently did a review of the RM2 vs Onyx Boox Max Lumi. I still own them both.

The big two supermarkets in Australia use tablets attached to the trolley so the picker doesn't have to carry the PDT with them. The pickers, delivery drivers are all employees of the supermarkets. In areas where they have enough customers, they have 'stores' that are only for online fulfillment. You have to reserve a time slot, usually closer and more convenient equals more expensive. I once price checked the groceries compared to a receipt from shopping in person, and there was a 5% markup on items that weren't on promotion. You can 'click-and-collect' to save on delivery fees, but you still need to reserve a time slot well ahead, during the lock downs it wasn't unusual to have to book a week out.

I worked in a DC for one of the supermarkets and the pick rate is closer to 200 cartons per hour. Cartons contain multiple units and can be pretty heavy depending on the product. It's not for everyone, even with incentive paid on top of a healthy union wage, most people would quit after a few months. The good pickers made it look easy. Some had been working there 10, 20 years.

> Can you put all that in a 13.3 inches chassis, make barely no noise when compiling hundred of thousand LoCs and reach 20 hours battery life on standard use?

Apples to apples:

Can you change the SSD when it wears out or want an upgrade in a few years?, can it run games?, can it do ML efficiently?, can I use Linux?, how about an eGPU?, how about an OLED or quantum dot display?

Sure, most laptops have 10 hour battery life instead of 20, some with vapor chambers have proper cooling and make no noise unless you really push it, CPU performance is probably 10-20% less, but you get so much more for the trade off.

People have different needs, if M1 is the best laptop for you, great, but it's not for everyone.

Has anyone here used a reMarkable 2 and had the chance to compare it to a Supernote or a Note Air?

I've had the opportunity to use a reMarkable in person, and it's the first and only digital writing device that I could tolerate to write notes. The MS Surface, iPad Pro and Samsung tablets have never cut it for me.
It's difficult to quantify why - a combination of pen-to-display distance, latency and screen texture perhaps.

Reviewers seem to agree that the Supernote and Note Air have higher latency, and higher pen-to-display distance, so I wonder if I could work with them or not.

The reMarkable seems to to be the go-to device as a digital notepad, but doesn't do anything beyond that, whereas the other devices offer a (near) full Android experience, which would be more useful to me as a dwevice that costs £400+.
To be clear: my personal opinion is that Linus' attitude about not breaking user space is the absolutely right one.
Oh are we sharing accidentally embarrassing Google searches now?

There was a time I was asked to work with a C code base that was last touched three years ago. Now, C in any standard isn't even my forte. It was doing some string manipulation whose behavior I can't exactly understand. Thinking I need a basics refresher, I Googled "c strings".

Woops. Got to be among my quickest tab closes. Cue look around if anyone happened to be looking at my monitor too.

(I will save people the mystery and possible blushes: apparently there's a type of lingerie called a "C string", in the same fashion as a "G string". The more you know.)
Click-and-collect from supermarkets' existing stores is likely here to stay. It's very appealing for people on strict budgets, because you don't get to the cash register then realise you have to put things back.

However, any retailer with existing stores wants to operate click-and-collect from those, as if you realise you forgot something on your order you'll go into the store.
They said “almost”.
Corel did sell a clone of 1-2-3 (Quattro Pro) as part of their suite. In my opinion it was far superior, at least for how I used it in middle school, though I'm sure some diehard 1-2-3 users would disagree.
In principle it's possible to measure the ambient light and set the emitted light to simulate reflected light from paper so that an OLED looks indistinguishable from paper. Next gen QLED displays might have the brightness to pull this off even in bright sunlight.
I don't think I've worked somewhere that doesn't use McAfee. The worst was Honeywell, they had every single McAffee product ever installed and it made the machines unusable (SWE's were allowed to apply for 70 day temporary exceptions, so we could actually work instead of just watching the anti-virus/whatever break things.)
McAfee also has a partnership with Verizon where they'll convince whoever is paying the bill to install software on the router that terminates SSL connections for you and forces you through their proxy (this requires installing their root CA cert, so yeah they've even managed to get into iPhones despite the AppStore.)

I order for pickup all the time nowadays, at various retailers (Walmart, Target, Home Depot, Walgreens, Staples), and I have only had 1 time I can recall that one of the retailers reported they did not have the item I ordered. I must have picked up at least a 100x by now, and I feel like as long as I wait for the email that says it is ready for pickup, I am good to go.

I actually order online for pickup to ensure no one else buys it if there is only a few of the item in stock.
Socialism does not need to sieze the means of production, marxism does. Socialism also covers a big range different ideologies. For example social democrat parties are considered to be socialist parties:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_democracy

The scandinavian countries are by global standards quite socialist, with social democratic and socialist parties often in power, most of those have no interest in seizing the means of production.
The whole computer science/programming field is anglocentric and the problem with Coq doesn't occur just in english speaking countries. English is not my primary language, but since the sound "coq" doesn't mean anything in my primary language, and since everybody in my country speak english as a secondary language, most people will still parse the sound "Coq" as "cock" and think of the non-ideal english meaning of that.

A name accidentally meaning something bad in one language is a lot worse than a name intentionally meaning something bad in a language that 100% of its userbase speaks and understands.

I am glad you picked things that affect all of the US and not things that only work in dense areas. Since at least some of those dense area issues are [half] solved in the east coast and SF/the valley get so many things first.

Public transport isn’t amazing between Boston/Montreal to Philadelphia/NYC to DC. However i still get a bit shocked when I go to places outside cities in parts of America where even buses are scant. Forget any other type of public transportation. Even Amtrak barely has any routes.

Nyc is the only city in the world with proper 24/7 subways. I have had the opposite experience of being surprised how bad the times are for subways in major cities across the world. 24/7 isn’t needed, but it’s surprising how cities stop public transport [relatively] early. My experience may be out dated now. East Asia was the worst when it came to this so maybe Europe isn’t so bad in this reheard.
I have a Remarkable 2 and the device is great, software is improving as well and taking notes is a joy BUT finding those notes later on is next to impossible.

I mentioned below, but you.can see my thoughts on RM2 and Max Lumi here: https://sammorrowdrums.com/e-writers-remarkable-2-v-s

Personally I don't get a lot out of the Android (as I really try to avoid DRM e-books), but they are both nice devices. Haven't tried Note Air.
I have an Onyx Boox Max Lumi [1], there are 2 reasons why the "backlight" is very useful.

First off it's not really a backlight like you see in most LCD displays, it's a front-light, or edge-light that projects directly on to and is reflected by the e-ink display (the transparent top layer of the display acts as a wave guide for the edge lighting, and it's really quite an impressive engineering feat that they got it to apply so evenly on a 13.3" display area).

Obviously this will be useful when ambient lighting is too dim to even read paper, but the fact is current e-ink technology is just not as reflective, or high contrast as regular printed text on copy paper. The front-light illumination at low to mid levels (at least on the Onyx series) goes a long way towards making the screen background look almost as white as real paper. Granted if you are outside in the sun you will not notice the frontlight even at max brightness. But in dim indoor lighting, it's the difference between looking at greenish-grey kinda washed out image, and something that might fool a casual passer by into thinking it really is paper & ink.

>How about actually supporting the European Tech industry instead of just adding endless bureaucracy?

Why do you make it sound like they don't? The EU invests massive amounts in technology (in regards to its paltry investment budget, but that's another debate).

One does not prevent the other. And calling regulations against clear abuse "endless bureaucracy" is insidious at best.
