We're finally getting close to what we could do back in the early 2000's. I played a lot of JO:TR[1], and the 150 player servers were great fun.

Nothing quite like defending a base and seeing three troop transport choppers doing a coordinated beach landing along-side a couple of hoover crafts filled with APCs, all on a public server without voice coms.

They are also excellent for baking, specifically because they are more sour and less sweet (and they have a good crisp texture).
If you are trying to mentally model how the keys you are pressing will be turned into the machine instructions that will ultimately get executed, yes. But that is no excuse for not looking at assembly.
If there’s such a glut of talent, why aren’t wages decreasing?
One thing often discussed when the cost of renewables is the raised is how storage costs aren't factored in. An additional piece of information I want to put out there is the benefit that V2G (vehcile-to-grid) smart chargers will bring to the grid.

V2G smart chargers are two way smart chargers for EVs that not only charge an EV, but can also push energy from the EV into the grid, generating revenue for the EV ownder. A UK trial involving 300 V2G chargers recently ended and demonstrated that users can make an average of £325 annually (for more details see https://www.linkedin.com/posts/kaluza_findings-from-300-dome...).

This is great for consumers, but will also helps reduce the amount of dedicated grid storage needed to back up renewables. It doesn't address the issues of long-terms storage, but in terms of handling the daily peaks and troughs in demand it's an excellent tool.

Depends. If you want to check something quickly, show it to few people and forget about it - Tableau, Power BI or even just Plotly in Jupyter will do.

If you want a big app, with a lot of functionalities, exploring data from many different angles, used by a lot of people etc - go for Shiny(if you are using R) or Dash(if you are using Python). You can easily put Dash in Flask or even Django if you want to build even more advanced web apps.
Interesting, I hadn't heard of that.

Still, the point I was making is that Google absolutely lied about what their app was sending; and people who distrust them are more than justified to. The privacy virtues of the Irish app in particular were the subject of much lauding - when it was shortly after :proven: to be bullshit, that story got less than 1% of the traction.
Can you explain what sound settings are you changing?
>In Go, the compiler needs to automatically insert code that checks the “pulse” of the heap every now and then, and potentially runs garbage collection. It also needs to automatically insert code that can tell the scheduler “hey now is a safe time to interrupt me if a different goroutine wishes to run”

Is it still the case after Go 1.14 (February 2020) when asynchronous preemption was implemented? As far as I know, goroutines are now preempted using signals instead of inserting checks at every function call.

Came here to post this. At this point I just redirect to teddit on my desktop. The only regret is that I can’t automatically reflect websites on ios safari, but it doesn’t take me long to manually tap the address bar and replace “reddit.com” with “teddit.net”, normally as soon as I try to view a nested comment and reddit asks me to sign in.

> Also don't underestimate learned helplessness.

Learned helplessness is so real. My partner works at a help desk, and I constantly hear stories of older folks just mentally shutting down as soon as she has them open the start menu or a settings menu.

I even see it in myself, a super curious neophile software/hardware hacker. Sometimes I'll come across some particularly arcane API docs and it's like my brain just goes "tl;dr" to the whole thing and tries to immediately find a way to avoid interfacing with it.

That mental switch of "ah this is overwhelming, eyes glaze over" is all too easy to trip, even if you push through it and it really is not that bad after the fact.
I think it was the other way around. PEP 518 was first, then came Poetry.
I kind of hate how far down the rabbit hole you have to go to find a familiar management ui in windows today. I find myself using run commands to bring up these UIs more and more.

It would be an acceptable tradeoff if these new interfaces added more functionality or visibility but it seems they're just trying to move to the new settings ux and not thinking about adding better function.

Try adding a new local user account to latest windows, compare the functionality in new the network interface settings page vs the legacy adapter properties prompt.

Seems most of the "this just works" stuff that I respect is from windows 2000 and the NT team.

Wish Microsoft would head back that way with a nod to modern usability instead of dumbing things down and worse: changing it every release.
> I’d rather have simple hardware that is light on energy requirements and easier to understand. I don’t think software as an industry really has a “this chip isn’t fast enough problem”.

Turning off speculative execution reduces performance enormously. Yes, code is often less efficient than it could be but "surprise, you need 5x as large of a datacenter because your hardware isn't doing fancy stuff" is not going to be an acceptable thing for any large organization.

Poetry does need help. I created a thread here: https://github.com/python-poetry/poetry/issues/4160

my primary concern poetry's development stagnating due to natural causes while many projects rely on it. switching costs are high. moving from pipenv -> poetry took me days across all my projects.

they're looking for developers, but also help with managing issues on the tracker.

i also raised the issue of them being funded. I think one possible outcome is seeing if PSF's Fiscal Sponsoree program (https://www.python.org/psf/fiscal-sponsorees/) would be a fit. Waiting to see what their maintainers say.
There's a common principle in art that it's good to make your audience work for a reward.

You can do that by packing in a lot of fine detail, so they have to work to explore it. You can do it intellectually by including a lot of cultural and historical references only some people will get.

You can also do it by leaving out and fuzzing detail, so they have to work to make sense of what they're seeing - taking a detour through various aesthetic associations along the way.

Beyond impressionism you end up with abstract expressionism, which is all associative and evocative aesthetics, and no figurative subject to recognise.

And that still works for a surprisingly large number of people.
I think every decade of work will be exponentially more productive as the person grows in experience without physically aging.

Orders on propositions were introduced by Bertrand Russell

to prevent inconsistencies in foundations of mathematics.

Strong types prevent construction of I’mUnprovable using the

following recursive definition:

I’mUnprovable:Proposition<i>≡⊬I’mUnprovable

Note that (⊬I’mUnprovable):Proposition<i+1> in the right-

hand side of the definition because I’mUnprovable is a

propositional variable in the right-hand side.

Consequently,

I’mUnprovable:Proposition<i>⇒I’mUnprovable:Proposition<i+1>

which is a contradiction. The crucial issue with the proofs

in [Gödel 1931] is that the Gödel number of a proposition

does not capture its order. Because of orders of

propositions, the Diagonal Lemma [Gödel 1931] fails to

construct the proposition I’mUnprovable.
And to think I was upset that I couldn't uninstall Facebook from my Galaxy S10 (only 'disable it', for whatever that's worth) and got rid of that phone yesterday. I mean, I paid $700 or so for an unlocked phone and I can't uninstall the biggest piece of spyware in modern history.

This kind of stuff is out of control and consumers need to seriously stand up to this in court.
Introduction to Lojban
We’re seeing a full frontal assault on Intel by competing computing architectures. Everyone is jockeying to see who is going to have the better next gen architecture. The problem is that in order to start attacking general computing as a problem, you need first customers who buy a lot of chips, and those customers tend to have specific workloads they want accelerated. Now we’re back to designing for customers instead of abstractly making the absolute best chip.

And that’s the reality right? Demand drives innovation it private enterprise is funding it. If you want a chip for the public good, you’d need to fund it with public money and that’s a different dance with the devil.

In short, I think the way that technology is produced is fundamentally customer focused right now.
it reminds me of an episode of a podcast i was listening to recently about somebody who grew up in a tough area with other people who experienced violence and difficult circumstances, and while there he had no emotional issues and simply pushed everything down; but once he moved to a 'nice' (american middle class) college and people heard about what he had experienced and felt sorry for him, he suddenly developed symptoms of ptsd. i think our individual response to circumstances can largely be shaped by what is normal around us.
First, this change is reducing undefined behavior* (EDIT: see below), and that undefined behavior (most casts between pointers and integers) did _not_ work reliably in practice. And in fact, the semantics they chose is rather sensible.

But yes, some code with UB which works for now might break. But that’s true whenever you upgrade your C compiler or use optimizations, so for correctness you shouldn’t do either! People working on certified embedded software have known that for long.

The real problem is that C users have been lied to. They’ve been taught the lie that C pointers are just addresses, that memory is an array of bytes, that relying on this lie is robust, and that this combination is fast. But this combination is impossible.

EDIT: officially some behavior was implementation-defined, but implementations made it undefined anyway — either officially or via bugs; links in subthread.
Neat. I like some of the more abstract patterns, and of course you have people who just dither/noise an image to contain all color values. I wonder what the entropy/compressibility is like for these images.

>You have to take kids to kindergaten twice and bring them back twice.

See that's exactly the mentality problem.

My mum was working too, at lunchtime we made for example a little fire in the wood and exchanged the food our parent packed in, from spaghetti to sausages and so on, made our own snake-bread etc. You have to be really crazy to think your children's have a problem do stuff for them self for 1.5 hours. If it was too cold we eat outside, went back into the school asked the teacher if we can play flight simulator on the apple2's. There is no need that the state has to organize everything for you..children's need freedom too, true?
Windows has been on this road for a long time.

I did some work on Windows servers in the XP era and it was a continuous hassle that the menus were always different in NT 4, Win 2k, Xp, Vista, and all the different versions of Windows server.

Contrast that to command-line admin on Linux that stays the same or the perpetually busted Linux admin GUIs that should just be taken behind the woodshed and shot.
The updated Safari has had a baffling UI update. It does not make any sense at all, on THE most important application that's shipped with the operating system.

It's those kind of UI ideas that look great on a mockup, but do not work in reality with real data and real users, those that open 35 tabs—behaviour encouraged by macOS windowing system by the way—and now all of those are crammed into a ludicrously small space that's constantly moving around.

I don't know what Apple were thinking there. Let's not call it UX, this is designers changing for change's sake at the expense of user experience. I'm struggling to see how is it justifiable in any way.
Based on this article it seems the BTC experiment mostly worked. Many unbanked El Salvadorans were able to save and send BTC. Some were payed in BTC. The main downside is exchange rate volatility, which is to be expected.

I see this issue tapering off over time. As BTC matures its volatility should decrease while maintaining a deflationary appreciation in value, encouraging saving. Yes, deflation as a feature goes against some economic theories but I unironically see it as environmentally friendly. Reducing consumerism and frivolous spending, in the end, may be exactly what we need.
I fail to see novelty here. What's the size difference between the model and and all of the 64x32 image training data? If the difference is not significant, you're basically almost just scrubbing a video, right?
Unfortunately "install a piece of software" also includes allowing javascript to run in your browser. So the risk may be closer to "clicking a link".

Additionally, the passwords and keys on your local dev box are very valuable for further attacks, like supply chain attacks.
We record bus drivers, for goodness' sake. We should be able to record pilots.

I agree that a hardened process relying on multiple SSD (that are then uploaded and wiped after landing at an airport) would be a good technical direction.

> But does it advantages in desktop or server machines?

Yes - because some tasks are highly parallel and are better suited to running on lots of small cores, and some tasks are highly sequential and are better suited to running on a single bigger core. big.LITTLE is the compromise that suits both.

See Amdahl's Law, Gustafson's Law, etc.
Fully agree. I don't understand wtf Apple is doing with their UIs lately. It's as if they were purposefully trying to make things worse.
> I’d rather have simple hardware that is light on energy requirements and easier to understand. I don’t think software as an industry really has a “this chip isn’t fast enough problem”.

Have you seen how happy people are with M1 machines? That's because it's faster. It's definitely not simpler.

> Most of the real slowdowns anyone has in day to day performance has more to do with inefficient code than hardware anyways.

Not true, especially not for heat. The energy use of on-CPU/on-GPU tasks is more up to the hardware. It might be true for things like network bandwidth though.
Another settings menu overlapping with the existing two. Great...
Maybe i missunderstood and overracted. I me it looked (and looks) like it introduces a whole lot of new UB and making pointer even more abstract.
The contact tracing apps send basically nothing.

It's the rest of Android that's the issue.

The point is that installing the contact tracing apps doesn't track you any more than before, neither on microg+fdroid than on a google stack.
Maybe there's some threshold that computers cannot cross. But the constant improvements show no sign of stopping soon. I wouldn't bet against it, given a long enough time period.
> The reason you adopt Chromium is because you don't want to pay to maintain your own browser engine.

Same argument applies to Gecko, but if people want to get in to the web browser game it makes a lot more sense to start with a de-facto open standard - which is Chromium. There are already a lot of browsers based on that engine, which is apparently named Blink according to Wikipedia, with backers who could easily choose to maintain an engine if they wanted to.

If the world ends in 12 months then sure, no-one is going to fork Chromium. But in the future, at some point Google will start doing a bad job maintaining it and Chromium could well be forked. If someone decides they need a browser engine to maintain full time they're probably going to fork Chromium as the technically strongest starting point and start maintaining a branch themselves. Forking Gecko would get them ... not much useful. Maybe some PR points.

The Blink license says people can fork it. There isn't any legal or technical reason that it is unforkable. At some point, it will be forked.
Were it not for an explicitly European political event, the British colonies might have been walled off from the Mississippi Valley by the Appalachians, and separate countries might have occupied the territory.

The Seven Years War (1756–1763) resulted in the British taking control of Canada and French possessions east of the Mississippi. The British colonies on the coast, many of which had no defined western boundary, then wished to extend westward. This was resisted by the British Crown, which asserted control from London over the new territories.

The colonists then fought the War of Independence by which then won control of the Ohio Valley and south from Britain. This enabled the colonies to expand via upstate New York and across the mountain passes.

The French Revolution and Napoleonic Wars further weakened France and Spain resulting in our acquisition of Florida and Louisiana on very favorable terms.
I looked at it a bit, but not long enough to really understand how it's better than modern setuptools w/ a fully declarative setup.cfg. I'm not sure I have whatever problems it's solving.
But you can’t compare to the concrete model, because it’s not the status quo. That ship already sailed with C89 and strict aliasing. Ptr2int casts were never legal, and support was inconsistent.

For instance, GCC sometimes tracks pointer provenance through integers; this proposed change will make that clearly illegal.
I wouldn’t say their perspective is woke at all, it reminds me of that well known passage in Hobbe’s Leviathan: nasty, brutish and short; which is a work associated with traditional conservatism, although you saw conservative neoliberals like Milton Friedman say similar things when arguing that capitalism has greatly improved the world.
This was very well known when the mitigations came out but I do wonder if they were too broad.
sure mitigation in place for a platform that run untrusted code like a browser make sense but should it affect every program running? I know trust is fickle but at least for power user there should be an option to disable mitigation on a per program basis.
If did not age well, but it came out a long time ago.

I think this has cause and effect reversed. Advancing general purpose CPU's is very hard and expensive nowadays. The slower rate of progress means that custom chips make more sense, they take longer to become obsolete.

Ironically, today it’s hand washing experts contributing to morbidity and loss of life by stonewalling airborne transmission precautions: masks that actually filter small particles and fit seal, building ventilation upgrades, and switching the the school year to outdoor classes during the summer. All blocked by hand washing experts whose groupthink egos refuse to accept basic laws of physics and evidence based policy that countries like Japan have auctioned since the very beginning of the pandemic.

Yes, and yes. Managers believing their teams are them is a magnet for megalomaniacs. My best managers have always been hands off just helping me drive my goals where they can.
I wouldn't attribute it to malice. The author has got that probably right: the people in charge think in iOS terms.
Good memories! Never used the engine myself but played Wandering Hamster back when I was into QBasic.
I can speak for myself— venv is good enough for most things and conda works for everything else (pandas/numpy/tensorflow on Mac m1).

For production code I’m more worried about minimizing surprises then elegance which means it’s really hard to replace something that works. Poetry only hit 1.0 in 12/2019, so maybe I’ll try it if the api remains stable for another few years. Contrast that to JS where we’re now on webpack 5 I think and there’s really no long term support available.
Similar situation in Australia. They're called the Stolen Generations, children who were removed from their Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander descent parents by state agencies and church missions. This happened until the 70s. It's nuts how recent it is.
The OP does not seem to mention CactusRef https://crates.io/crates/cactusref which provides deterministic deallocation (on par with simple refcounting) of reference cycles, with minimal tracing requirements and minimal memory overhead.
The inconsistency doesn’t bother me so much as a lack of immediate responsiveness when I start a program.

Sometimes I can wait 30 seconds after clicking on the menu before there is visual indication that the program is really loading. In that time I don’t know if I should click again, reboot the computer, walk away for 5 minutes for the services to settle, or start diagnosing the problem and take remedial action.

Part of a ‘computer users bill of rights’ is getting rid of all hourglasses and spinners and always having clear visual indication that progress is being made.
