Not to say that additional mitigations are inappropriate, but a stack overflow when parsing a corrupt file sounds like something that could have easily been found by a fuzzer.
At the very least you might given enough independents are elected, hand them the balance of power where the governing party has to deal with them to get bills passed rather than the increasingly difficult task of skimming votes from the rival party.

What you really need is a Don "keep the bastards honest" Chipp type to splinter off one of the major parties and form a viable third party with a group of like-minded moderates. Given the state of the GOP it could be time for the likes of Mitt Romney and Liz Cheney backed by operative groups such as the Lincoln Project to give it a crack.
> It's possible to be against the idea of trans women competing in female competitive sports without intentionally misgendering all trans athletes/humans.

Genuine question, one about which I haven't seen much in the way of conversation—although my experience is relatively limited.

Why is the subjective experience of gender privileged over the objective biology of sex?

I can anticipate a couple possible responses for which I'm not sure I have very clear thoughts, either—maybe someone can contribute more light than heat here?

1. Biology isn't actually all that objective: one's subjective experience is at least partially determined by biology, too.

2. We can turn the question on its head: why should objective biology be privileged over subjective experience?
Gotcha, somehow missed that. Yeah, tmp tables on disks are painful and I've made the same optimization on MySQL whenever it wasn't possible to eliminate the need to tmp tables by refactoring SQL.
SPARQL over Wikidata is one of the closest things to magic on the Internet. It's incomplete, the runtime is slow, it dies on too much data, but it's amazing being able to think up random questions and actually ask them, however frivolous. Stuff like "who's the most successful footballer from my home town?" or "which part of India has produced the most test cricketers?" is really easy. Makes me wish I'd taken the quantified self more seriously because there's so much I'd love to find out with rich enough linked data.
It lists Neo-Nazis and anarchists as well which are not necessarily terrorist organizations unless they use violence specifically in the pursuit of political change.

I led a small dev team to port a PC title to the original PSX. It had a physics engine that ran at 30Hz and needed to run close to isochronously to preserve gameplay.

One of the hacks we created was a limited pre-emptive multi-tasking system on the original Playstation to run our physics engine at a constant frequency. We'd asked Sony US who escalated to Sony Japan and told us it couldn't be done and we should write our code in a cooperative multi-tasking style.

We eventually figured out how to use the vertical blank interrupt to save all the registers, modify the return address to return from the interrupt to our physics code, then our physics code would run (not in the interrupt context), then restore the registers and longjmp back to the main game code which had been originally interrupted by the vertical blank interrupt.

This wasn't general-purpose pre-emption and had only fixed divisors of the screen refresh rate available, but was enough to get our physics engine to run close to isochronously.

Side note 1: our game (NASCAR Racing) was comparatively terrible and I remember being in awe of what the Crash Bandicoot, Ridge Racer, and other early PSX teams accomplished in gameplay and graphics.

Side note 2: as unconventional as the PSX was, it was positively mainstream compared to its contemporary Sega Saturn.
I think about about it more pragmatically.

Not "pleasures of the body vs pleasures of the mind" or "long term pleasures vs short term pleasures"

but "healthy pleasures vs unhealthy pleasures"

Alcohol is a bodily short term pleasure I'd consider bad, because it's not a healthy pleasure and will shorten my life.

One-night stands are also a bodily short term pleasure, but I'd consider it good, because I think sex is a healthy pleasure and will probably lengthen my life.

Also, you work at a FAANG, for any reasonable definition of success, you've made it. You wouldn't be where you are if you weren't good at what you do and vetted by lots of people. Can you get better? Have you done mistakes? Probably, but that doesn't mean you're bad.
The previous version was 1.99.21 :-)

2.1 does not introduce new features with respect to 1.99.21, the software has been gradually refined with new features and bug fixes along the whole 1.99.x series of releases I think (I am following it starting from about 1.99.9).

Important features of 2.1 are a much improved LaTeX export filter, improved HTML export, a comment facility (for collaboration), improvements on plugin support for several programming languages (I did not test these extensively), a very nice mechanism for making it easier to use the label/ref mechanism (includes a tiptool for immediately seeing the referenced object).
Film stars are their own brand. People will go see the new Owen Wilson movie but they won’t buy software just because it’s built by Frank the SWE. This isn’t a good comparison IMO.
They are calculated, you can see that in lines 290 and 296 of d_scan.c where the S and T coordinates (these are the texture coordinates, just another name for UV coordinates[0]) are calculated.

But yeah, they are not stored in the BSP file and are derived from the surface.

As for why it is done like that, it isn't for rendering simplicity but for storage. It takes less memory and disk space to store only the surface plane and texture axes and calculate the texture coordinates when you need them than store them on memory/disk for every vertex. Not only you store a few less bytes even for a triangle (with additional memory for each vertex) but also allows sharing of vertex and edge data which are common between surfaces even if their texture coordinates would differ.

After all the game had to run in systems with just 8MB of RAM.

> I have used Radiant and the “texture lock” was a bit of a joke for a long time.

Well, i just tried it in QERadiant and seems to work fine.

In any case, yes there are limitations, but when you are sticking to the grid - which is what most of Quake maps do, going off the grid isn't that common - the automatic texture alignment is also very convenient. This was also a big improvement over Doom where every linedef had to be manually adjusted and misaligned textures were commonplace.

[0] Traditionally S,T as convention are supposed to refer to coordinates in surface space and U,V in texture space but in practice everyone uses them interchangeably, especially with 3D APIs that use both to mean the same thing. Some older 3D graphics books do make a distinction though.

To me the greatest value of Wikidata was making me aware of RDF and SPARQL.

In most cases, if you are relying on data business needs, it would be best to maintain your own RDF dataset and host it either just on HTTP, or on something like https://dydra.com/.

WikiData deseperately needs RDF ingestion, and if this is made available (can be done outside of Wikidata) then it would be easier to periodically sync datasets with Wikidata.

On that note however, you could export all Wikidata triples you need and just host that on your own SPARQL server (e.g. Jena) or use it with RDF tools like rdflib.

Yup this happens to me as well, though some small breaks for fetching water/coffee might be included. Also in the office. I guess ensuring that employees know what to do and like what they do is a much better approach than staring over the back and making mean comments when slacking.
All Olympic competitors sacrifice health for the sport. We are long past seeing them as healthy. The starvation diets in runners that lead to hormone shutdown are probably the best known example. Just as with many professional team sports, if you want to win you must accept lifelong consequences.

Not directly related to your question but we have weight classes in certain sports. This levels out at least some of genetic advantages.

I always found it odd that there are not, let's say height classes for high jump. It always seemed unfair to me that I had to lift my center of mass higher than others for the same performance.

I just gave some examples in another comment - calling women dumb and comparing them to cows is the type of speech you really want to defend here? Is that what you think "people shouldn't be afraid to speak their mind" about?

Like ok, cool. But I'd also like to speak my mind and call those comments vile and say they have no place in a civilized discussion.

And how am I intimidating?? HN comments are scary now?
Reminds me of a funny story where I was informed that transgendered[0] isn't a word. And in fact you can see a definition on Urban dictionary where someone has said it is "a word that doesn't exist". It turns out that while the word was once used widely it has recently become forbidden for grammatical reasons.

It's not surprising this debate is so broken when basic terms aren't even constant.

I use Grafana religiously every day, rely on it for metrics, long-term trends and alerting. I also use Telegraf with InfluxDB, but thanks to Grafana I've never had to write a single InfluxDB statement.

Also: It's not just higher temporal resolution, it's having an actual time-series database vs a metrics database. With InfluxDB (and all other event-based databases) I can go in after the fact and just plot the CPU load for one specific host, or a group of hosts, or plot the HTTP requests that took longer than 200ms, hit a specific endpoint and finished with a specific HTTP status code. If you don't keep the raw measurements you always have to make decisions about which groups you aggregate down to ahead of time. Just something to keep in mind.
Trains compete with cars, not with airplanes.
The <datalist> element tries to address a common use case: it provides an autocomplete-enabled input so that as the user types, they see a filtered list of valid options.

It's great for prototyping, but its extensibility is so limited that it's not actually useful for real production applications. For example, you can't bold the parts of the options in the dropdown that match the input the user has entered in the text box. You can't add images or other rich content in the options. You can't style the dropdown itself. You can't do fuzzy matching. You can't receive events as the user keyboard-navigates through options...

It's a shame, since it's not a bad start, but users expect more than what <datalist> provides, and so we always have to go with a custom solution.
Some information to put into perspective the articles which are now regularly published about the revival of sleeper trains.

First, if you look at Europe as a whole, you will see that sleeper trains were never really dead. There are plenty of them in Germany and Eastern Europe. Often they go from large cities to holiday destinations and therefore are mainly used by people travelling for leisure.

The novelty of these new lines (be it this company or the transeuropean effort to connect european capitals with sleeper trains) is that they mostly travel business travellers, people who would usually have taken a place. As plane journeys are often the largest item in a company carbon account, they are betting that some will push their employees towards the train.

It might not be easy however. Track capacity at night is often severly limited by maintenance work in France for example and these trains will have to compete with rail freight transport at a time when Europe wants to massively develop rail freight.
In my experience yes, but only if you don't feed them. Then they go and hunt birds and other animals. If you give them plenty of food then they just chill all day.

Thing is though, the size of people's gametes has no bearing on their weightlifting ability. Rather, secondary sexual characteristics do. Those characteristics are very strongly associated with gamete size, but not perfectly. So classifying sex purely on the size of people's gametes will lead to a few odd outcomes.

Just the idea that since you’re working on a computer, you should be able to take advantage of it. So once the numbers are in there, you should be able to tweak them around without having to re-write everything. What if this value was higher? What if it was lower? How would that affect the results? Let the calculation be explorable.

Telegraf is the main reason I'm still running the Telegraf + InfluxDB + Grafana stack. I might have checked out TimescaleDB or others, but since Telegraf works great with InfluxDB and has all sorts of arcane collection plugins, mostly with sensible options, I'm staying put. Good luck replicating the years of community effort to build out all these collectors to anyone who wants to replace it.

This is a question that is highly dependent on culture, history and location. In Europe nobody would bat an eye and agree to that. But the US had malignant actors that tried to exclude people from voting that were not in their camp. It was nothing else than targeted discrimination. So being skeptical is completely warranted, even if you believe that the US has changed. And even then there can still be problems.

It has to do with lacking trust in today's institutions as well as towards the police.

The PSX did not age well.

I noticed this at a friend house, while looking for something in the garage we came across his old system and games. We could not resist taking it back into the house and setting it up.

The first thing I noticed was how long the load times were. And how noisy the machine was when reading and seeking on the discs.

The next thing was the primitive texture mapping. Polygons 'jiggling' and 'sparkling' all over the place. It reminded me of my first attempts at programming 3D graphics in VGA, before realizing what floating point (or fixed point) could do.

We tried re-living some of the classics, and after not even an hour we just shook our heads and went back to what we were originally doing.
I don't think anything I use uses those paths, I'd never even heard of them. Vscode, conan, cmake, gdb, perf, docker, vim, git, any of those use it?

Well it's not so much being protected by patching up references, but more that C++ is (as far as I know) the only language that doesn't complain when you create a reference to an object that can move away.

Most languages either don't have the concept of classes or ensure that invalidating references is an explicit operation (such as calling the destructor).
A bit of that, also making people aware of the wonders of wikidata.
Unfortunately, there are not a single but a multitude of cultures within the C programming community that compete with others, most of them claiming they are safer than others.

The aforementioned list for example has Jed Shaw's Learn C The Hard Way as having "[t]oo many factual problems and a presentation that gets you to do things wrongly before being shown how to do it correctly, and not even always then". This is an opinion held by the ##c channel, not necessarily every (competent) C programmer. LCTHW itself did a great service by introducing valgrind very early, and most criticisms [1] seem to be presentation issues that might be partly necessary for beginners and partly a matter of taste. (I personally think LCTHW was in particular unfairly attacked because of its merciless treatment of K&R. It's a shame that Jed Shaw gave up then.) To this date I don't have any good beginner-level C book to recommend, including K&R.
