> Which software exactly is functionally the same yet consumes more resources? Can you give some specific examples?

Instant messaging. Even if we ignore applications like the original MSN Messenger, Trillian, etc, the original Skype before Microsoft's acquisition was much faster. Sure, it wasn't as fast as it could be - but still didn't had an entire browser wrapped around it nor needed checks 350MB of RAM and 7 background processes just to display an icon on the tray so i can send text messages and perhaps the occasional video call once every two years.

And to be honest? I do not really find it that weird if a program needed some extra resources to make a video call - which is why LoadLibrary and (especially) FreeLibrary exist. But in practice that is never done or when it is done it is piled on top of an overengineered system to the point where it loses any benefits under the weight of the architecture astromancy.

> if you don’t know or don’t pay attention what’s under the covers.

Or don't care.

Don't forget the don't care part! It is very important because a lot of the bloat is presented as "functionality" (which, assuming most people even care - and that assuming they'd know what they "pay" for it - often doesn't even need to be as heavy and bloated as it is).

> One easy to overlook difference is displays.

Aside from resolution, physical dimensions and thinness, displays are worse nowadays. Compared to CRTs they have bad contrast, often bad colors, increased latency (even the ultra-fast 144Hz+ ones), a fixed resolution with awful results if you try to use anything but the native, etc. Note that i'm writing this from a 165Hz 27" 2560x1440 monitor BTW with a few CRTs next to me connected on older systems. And BTW

> It’s easy to forget that 20 years ago we had 800x600 screens, 24 bit color was not ubiquitous, and 60hz monitors were practically non-existent.

That'd be 30 years ago, not 20. 20 years ago was the year 2001 :-P. While 800x600 was indeed common, it was pretty much as common as 1024x768. And monitors at 60Hz were not common because those would hurt your eyes - even standard VGA released in the 80s runs at 70Hz. But by 2001 pretty much every monitor was able of 85Hz and several went much higher (e.g. 120Hz for mine).

> Today 4K is normal

4K is a tiny minority that is barely a blip in statistics. Here, check this:

https://data.firefox.com/dashboard/hardware

This is Firefox's hardware statistics. The most common resolution, by far, is 1920x1080. The next most common? 1366x768! Both make about 64% of every web capable computer out there! And the resolutions after that are actually lower than 1920x1080 until you reach at around 2% for 2560x1440.

Even among games where 4K has meme status, in Steam Hardware Survey you can see that only around 2.44% have a 4K monitor. There are more than three times more gamers using monitors less than 1080p that aren't 1366x768 or 1360x768!

There will be several years before 4K becomes a normal on the desktop. Right now it makes way more sense to think about something like 1366x768 than 4K.

this is to do with the philosophy of Cliqz (who developed what's now Brave Search) - if you can't find the results on the first page, you'll probably be better off changing the search term than paginating. I have no idea how reasonable that is though.

Did you even look at your link? Almost all the bar graphs suggest tumblr is doing great. If doing as good as Facebook is your bar for success, then you've just defined almost all businesses as failures. Those numbers beat owning a restaurant, and every startup I've ever worked at (which are all profitable).

So anyways, the tumblr that's basically the same as it was 10 years ago (unless you used it for porn), that's also still growing, is dying according to you, but not the numbers. Interesting. This is kind of like reading about your own death in the newspaper.

With respect, I think you rather missed his point. He is not making an argument that "Tracy Austin is really that boring," though he does set the reader up for this thought, so that he can playfully turn on it on the way to his conclusion.

Your analysis is a gesture towards his conclusion: "And that those who receive and act out the gift of athletic genius, must, perforce, be blind and dumb about it - and not because blindness and dumbness are the price of the gift, but because they are its essence."

Moreover, DFW speaks of the cliches evident in the internal narratives of athletic genius as, perhaps, perceived by their speakers as simple truths, imperatives to be acted on or ignored, not reflected on.

He also specifically calls out as foolish the idea that gifted athletes are dim, citing examples of technical analysis similar to the ones you've mentioned.

Finally, this piece is very specifically about the physical techne of athletes in relation to their internal and external narratives, which I, and I think DFW based on this piece, do not find of a kind with musical genius.

I went to a commuter campus. Most of my classmates had jobs, some had kids, others lived at home with parents. The stereotypical American university experience of young, single people learning, living and socializing on a college campus can be inaccurate.
The bank PIN is just a number. Your bank account balance is just a number in a database. Your private key is just a number. Your bitcoin balance is just a number in a database (a blockchain is a kind of database). There is no distinction that makes stealing dollars using a bank PIN fraud but stealing bitcoin using a private key not fraud somehow.
Yeah I consider myself atheist but if Jesus came down from heaven and started performing (scientifically tested) miracles then I guess I'd change my mind.

That makes me, in the strictest sense, agnostic.

Seeing as no miracle has ever been proven I'd say the difference will remain academic.

I'm from Slovenia as well and get asked to show my ID and vaccination slip regularly.

If I understand correctly, one of the pandemic laws requires them to verify, but the Information Commissioner's Office has countered that with one of their classic "well yes, but actually no" opinions saying that they're not actually allowed to demand that kind of information. What "demand" means here, of course, doesn't seem to be defined well, so I'm guessing they're still allowed to refuse service if you don't show them some proof.

Or maybe all of that has changed in the 20h since I was last at a bar - the speed at which the current government is making seemingly entirely random changes to the covid rules is genuinely impressive.
Ask HN: Is Cyber Security a particularly masculine position
My Government in Canada in proposing to make Sept 1st "women in cyber Day" and "remove barriers for women" in that sector, but my first reaction is that this won't be that successful because the job itself lends itself to strong, combative, people that aren't afraid to be the least liked person in an organization. Is my impression wrong? Is it reasonable to expect that they can increase women in cyber security from < 10% to 50%?
At the risk of self-promotion, I found some cause for empathy for the crusader types when writing about the subject:

"They’re mostly people whose elders, the people who might guide them to a fierce but strategic advocacy, were murdered by police or mob violence, thrown in prison for bullshit reasons, or allowed to die in a plague. If you can bring empathy for the guy who got fired from Google for circulating a paper that made his colleagues uncomfortable, you can bring it for people who are dealing with a strange world with no one to talk to who gets what they’re going through."

https://viewfinderfox.com/history-is-canceled/

This is the part where I'd anticipate a crusader type accusing me of infantalizing people if I were on Twitter. I don't think it's entirely people who have no guidance + people taking up their cause (often without asking), but I think it's a large part of it. Some of it, maybe most of it, is Well-Meaning Allies causing a lot of noise while not listening to the people they're trying to help. I had a cis woman on Twitter lecture me on nonbinary identity because she didn't realize I was describing my own experience. I think that type is what most people get annoyed at, and sometimes their anger/fear has splash damage on people who didn't ask for that help.

The protocol encompasses the nodes on the network. If the network is highly centralized the protocol is unsafe.

Created a bug report https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=122283....
I appreciate the reply, I hadn't seen these before and I'll do some more research on them.

My initial reaction is how does this address the issue of developing more units in dense urban environments? For example, if we convert all multi family dwellings in LA to CLTs. Housing is more affordable and no residents are being displaced. Now more people want to move to LA. Who builds housing for them?

They would be required for compete over an extremely limited number of SFHs. Unless the CLTs had a provision that every Nth year, they would be torn down and redeveloped for greater density, this sounds like it would cause a city to completely stagnate. That Nth year clause would really go against the non-displacement goal. It could be sustainable if a city had zero growth, but for desirable metro areas that are mostly developed, that is not the case.

Market rents cause healthy turn over. There are other ways to address affordability, such as addressing wage growth, removing density restrictions, or expanding Section 8. Non-profit landlords would just further distort the system by not addressing systemic needs that require capital.
And online dating is massively biased towards women, so more and more men are being left out.
They do face consequences. Turn on Fox News for 5 minutes and you're bound to hear some talking head spreading alarmist narratives about cancel culture. Social Justice minded people get doxxed and dragged through the mud for their speech every day.

You seem to be complaining that "those who cancel" aren't being stripped of their voices. That's not a valid complaint if you care about free speech.

Free speech means you can say whatever you want about anything you like. It also means, that after hearing what you have to say, I can say whatever I like about you and your opinions. I can disagree with you just as much as you can disagree with me.

Disagreement isn't censorship, it's free speech. Social consequences are a natural counterpart to speaking your mind. People are allowed to draw lines, judge you, and cut you out of their lives for what you say.

Free speech applies to everyone with a voice, not just you. Censorship is when you aren't allowed to speak, not just simply facing consequences for what you choose to say.
It's the opposite of "choking".

If you are extremely comfortable doing something to the point that you can do so automatically, then actually thinking about it will be much less effective.
The market is not clearing due to participants not properly pricing each other.

Or the participants are not desirable enough for the other party.

The former can be helped by letting your network decide your price as they may be able to do it more objectively, so anyone introduced to you by your network is likelier to be in your price range. This, of course, depends on you having access to a good network, but I suspect that is also on the decline.
Imposing limits on intellectual property for public benefit is nothing new, though. Expiration terms, for example.

So the system might still work fine even if all patents get shut down when a company that acquired them does.

It's not what I suggested, though: just that a non-practicing (at least in some sense) company can't litigate.

That would mean that you can sell your patents to some shell company even. But the recipient couldn't sue anybody over them until they either start a profitable business on the side relating to said patents. Or they resell it again to a company that satisfies the requirements. Or have a lump sum set aside in escrow, I guess.
I'm confused. I have Fi and I lost SMS in Hangouts as well as the ability to call in hangouts. Now I need to separately open google voice website to get those features. It's infuriating.
Per [1]:

> evaluations of A and B are indeterminately sequenced: they may be performed in any order but may not overlap: either A will be complete before B, or B will be complete before A. The order may be the opposite the next time the same expression is evaluated.

And:

> 21) Every expression in a comma-separated list of expressions in a parenthesized initializer is evaluated as if for a function call (indeterminately-sequenced)

Emphasis mine. What the above basically says is that in the case of some function `f(A, B)`, the arguments `A`, and `B`, are what's known as "indeterminately-sequenced" -- this mean that their execution cannot be interleaved (overlap) -- but they still individually execute in a non-deterministic order (A before B, and sometimes B before A)!

With that said, the good news is that B can now never throw in the middle of A, which is precisely what we have in OP's example.

Absolutely interested in this path and actively following, I left a therapist a few months ago and I'm just starting with a new one.

I think the most powerful thing the therapist offers is a reasonable and trustworthy 3rd party perspective untethered from family or work obligations.

The downside is it takes a long time, and it's either very expensive or can be questionable in efficacy.

incel culture shit right here
Anecdotally, most of my interactions with friends has moved offline. I wonder whether that's a broader trend, and whether it will be sustainable?

Like, in the same way I learned not to post personal stuff on Livejournal (then MySpace and Facebook), will we just... log off half the time, and treat the rest as a resume? Or will we hole up in private discords/IRC/Matrix/etc groups?

Worse yet is an object which is safe to copy in some cases, but you intended to not copy it at the moment, and you create a dangling reference to a field within. I wish C++ copy constructors were explicit by default. (But declaring the copy constructor explicit turns off aggregate initialization, so I can't do that.)
You start by writing your own examples. Remove all the abstract notation and expand out everything, distribute everything back in so you just have a series to be summed or integrated. Stare at it for k = 0, 1, 2, etc., like 5 choose 4, 5 choose 3...maybe you can prove this yourself. This is actually how you learn, trying to do it yourself and thinking for a few hours/days/weeks about this problem why the identity is true, and then getting all those 'How to prove it' style books filled with established techniques to see if your identity can be proved by them.

Try Terence Tao's book Analysis I https://learnaifromscratch.github.io/math.html you pick up the gist of this kind of math doing basic proofs of natural numbers. You see and do enough of these that you will get the first proof here, where the n+1 comes from, and how you can distribute things in/out of any summation notation. The second integral proof from math stackexchange the same applies, remove all the abstract notation and just write down a few series, distribute in the 1/2pi(i). Do this for a few examples and you can probably figure it out yourself.

In the above link there is resources for olympiad and putnam problem solving on YouTube, if you watch some of those you'll see how they train competitors to solve something like this problem. List every tiny idea or strategy you have to prove that binomial identity and pick one that seems the easiest, start there. Fill the variables with corner cases what happens. If it's geometry what happens if you 'stretch and pull' the geometric interpretation by some constant factor. Look at Pascals Array since this is a binomial identity. This is what they do in those seminars if you're interested and it's free for anybody to watch.

When all those proof books throw 'implies' and other logic at you, read through this: https://ncatlab.org/nlab/files/MartinLofOnTheMeaning96.pdf
The avionics bay is for maintenance, pilots don't get to touch any of it ever.

And pilot training covers the systems not in a physical sense but in a logical "power is supplied to this system via the secondary avionics bus which is fed via this breaker from the generator on the left engine or via another breaker from the main avionics bus" so you can debug and understand what it means when some bus fails or you loose a generator. But we really don't know where the actual wire is or even whether the schematic we learn about different buses is really wired that way or only behaves that way.
The colloquialism means the exact same thing as what the economist means and it's because the term was taken from the economics vocabulary and is only ever used specifically when discussing economics even if by non economists.

There's not a shortage of human beings. There is a shortage of human beings who want to work at the current market prices. No matter how many ways you try to twist it a labor shortage implies information about wages.
Interestingly, AFAIK also Golang suffers from something similar: creating a slice from an array, then performing an operation on the array, that causes resizing - the slice will keep pointing to the old array data.
Presumably the eviction moratorium was in place to prevent large-scale homelessness and social unrest. If 10% of the population was suddenly out on the streets, it would be total mayhem; near societal collapse. In a situation like that, how many good, paying tenants are there to go around, to replace the people that got evicted?
