Absolutely. Incidentally, I’m very new to game programming (and performance-critical code in general). Are there high-level GC’d languages which are well suited for (pick some flavor of) game programming? I always read about C++ or (increasingly) Rust when it comes to game programming. Even with all its modern features, Rust still errs on the zero cost abstraction side when it comes to abstracting away the underlying memory and execution model. In 2021, are compilers, JITs, and GC algorithms still worse than humans at optimizing performance critical code? I thought we’d have moved past that by now.
The real issue was driver support. If you had the right hardware you had no issues. If you had a weak graphics card Vista would not have certain features.

This can be a double edged sword though.

I worked at a place that did have good 'secrecy' around most monitoring. While I was one of three people outside of Infosec that managed to find out that someone was let go because they were caught exfiltrating client/employee PIFI... I'm pretty sure nobody who was possibly compromised got informed.

This was a place that was so concerned with image that the handbook was about as strict as what my Sister had to deal with when teaching at a Catholic school. Image was everything to them.
WSL is very different than NT subsystems (it's based on drawbridge). And NT did support a fourth (or fifth depending on how you want to count it) POSIX subsystem for quite a while, but that's different than WSL.

And interestingly enough, Android support was the original purpose of WSL. It was modified to run an Ubuntu user land on original release for some Microsoft product reason. It's nice to see it coming back in it's original form too.
You made me chuckle and question reality I am in. Thank you.
Huh? Caching is explicitly about extracting time savings at the cost of increased memory usage. Did I read your comment wrong?
>We're a violent race

Are you aware of the context of the article? Because reducing a race to inherently possessing certain tendencies or traits, and needing to "take action!" and "do something!" about it, is sort of how we got here.

If you want to base it on historic behavior, then it'd be justified, just like the people who set up these schools.

I didn't think syncthing supported encrypted replicas - that's why I passed on it years ago for a dropbox-like use case. I wanted to have a replica in the cloud as a relay, without having to fully trust the machine. A quick google suggests they may have something beta along these lines, so this may change.

I believe Resilio can do it, but it is closed source.

If you're looking for backups and not dropbox-like functionality, then something like restic might be more appropriate. It does actual content addressed backups, so you've got history for those times when you realized you messed something up six backups ago.
Yes, agreed. Apple does a good job letting you know what your company has access to, and if you use iCloud / Personal GMail, your stuff stays with you after you leave.
But you could just ask. If the natives don't want a modern lifestyle, that's ok. If they do want it, you should definitely give them a chance to work and earn it. The same applies in the alien-earth case too.

At the very least, if you insist your way of treating less advanced cultures, democracy should never be spread to countries that were previously authoritarian, because that was their natural way of living.
The fact that these are decade old devices that haven't had a firmware update in over five years yet are still so integral to their owners' lives that people are keenly feeling their loss suggests to me that they were not a horrible idea, nor poorly engineered. I have a WD MyBook World (not connected to the internet) that's probably the oldest still operating piece of computer technology I own--outlasting many computers, phones, tablets, etc. My family uses it to listen to music or watch movies all the time, and the fact that it "just works" and supports simple IoT/UPnP protocols is the only reason that's viable--no way could I convince my spouse or kid to use it if they had to go through the same pain I experience trying to stream something from my laptop.

I was responding to the assertion of the GP that people who are shocked "didn't do the math", not the appropriateness of the term "mass graves".

There seems to be a bit of an elitist bent to several comments here, implying that anyone who is responding to these findings emotionally must either be thoroughly ignorant or incapable of considering historical child mortality rates.

Surely it's reasonable for people to be "shocked" to find that children in these schools died at a far higher rate than their non-indigenous peers, and were buried on-site, presumably far from their homes, in graves that up until recently their relatives weren't even sure where they were? What is wrong with allowing people to have that emotion?
I didn't mind 10 at first but I hate it more and more as it keeps updating and breaking things. They recently completely replaced the IME implementation with a new one that refuses to do the configuration I need (Dvorak Japanese), silently replaced the dual graphics card configuration with one that ignores all the preferences I've previously set, and added weatherbug to my taskbar like some early 2000s malware.
Well deserved.

Media sources are so politicized you have to question anything you read.

I had this graphically illustrated in the gym one day. There was a wall of televisions, with Fox on one tv and CNN on the tv next to it. Both stations were showing then-President Trump as he addressed a group of elderly veterans.

Fox ran subtitles extolling the popularity of the visit, explaining the increased benefits Trump was bringing. CNN ran subtitles describing looks of 'disappointment' and calling the benefits sub-standard. Both ran the exact same video.

The media richly deserves it's poor reputation.
I agree with that dropdown part, but the UI in the first screenshot is laughable, especially for the scroll bar and menu bars, you surely agree. The Windows 10 UI is much cleaner and so is the macOS one (unchanged since 2001, however there's no tiling support at all):

I love my job and I love my life and I deliberately blend them together. This makes me substantially more productive as an employee, and incalculably happier as a human being.

If I want to see a friend in the middle of the day, I do it. If I want to take a 3 hour lunch, I do it. When someone 8 time zones away answers a question I asked earlier at my 1AM, and I’m awake and see it, I’m excited to learn the new whatever thing, and may take an hour (or three!) to chat with them about it.

Everything I do in life I have opted into and enjoy. I gain nothing by firewalling some parts of it from other parts.

I have tried every modality of managing work and personal life and this one is by far —- by far —- the best one for me. The notion that there is a work laptop and a personal laptop and naer the twain shall meet is a complete anachronism. It’s fine if that separation helps other people but it actively hurts me.
Agree. I believe in a short while, maybe after some more congressional inquiry, or maybe another political fiasco, questioning the mental health effects of social media is going to be a mainstream idea. Tooter, Fakebook, et al will be on the defensive, but it will be the modern care-y feel-y corporate message version, encouraging us to use social media “responsibly” while still manufacturing an addictive and harmful product.

The purpose of my statement was to summarize the preceding poster's hypothetical example into its barest premise. Any particular claim of broadness you gleaned from my one sentence is for you to prove.

As far as your assessment of hate speech is concerned, I read it and was about to compose similar arguments to those of Andy_G11. I have little to add.

As far as what I personally think about your premise that certain speech from certain individuals should be classified differently whether in law or in general society, it's bunk. I don't know how you think any such law would functionally work in a world with free press, mass publishing, the Internet, etc. and, even if followed, I don't see how "hate speech" laws won't be abused to silence individuals. If you want to see how laws like this that "work" in practice, look up lèse-majesté.
Oh wow. So they aren’t encrypting the devices or they have a master key? We use Apple laptops at my work and when somehow I messed up changing my login credentials, the only recourse was to wipe the device because it couldn’t be decrypted.

Well, the GP said "why should anyone ever again trust [Western Digital] to keep their data safe?" Using a Western Digital hard drive, internet connected or not, very much means trusting a WD product with your data.

But I might be reading too literally. And personally, I do intend to continue purchasing Western Digital hard drives, just nothing internet connected, because I agree they're different products with different risks.

The change the parent is probably thinking of is that you could offer up to $5 million as a Reg Crowdfunding round (vs the previous cap of $1 million) if you wanted to offer non-accredited investors a way to invest while you are still a private company.

So I have a mixed feelings about this.

From one side, it is great when people experiment with IoT -- this is became really easy and cheap in the recent years and more people should do this!

On the other side, there are basic safety problems. Judging by the photos, the uninsulated ESP32 board is next to the main control board, which pretty likely contains live voltage... and all of this in a moving and shaking device... This just sounds like a recipe for a large bang few weeks later.

There are also smaller problems with execution -- like the whole "cutting and measuring the voltage" to find out the where the power input is.. this is what the multimeter in continuity mode is for!

(also if I were to make this from scratch, I'd recommend to use pre-existing "esp8266 relay board" -- they are neater, more reliable than manual wiring and come in either DC or AC input variety... but I do understand the desire to use existing parts!)
Is it like a custom setup on a linode vps? Or does linode offer some kind of managed solution? I’ve always wanted to run my own email setup but then, just seems like too much hassle. How is it going for you?
> Why have I never seen...

Simply put, limited history/experience. That's not a bad thing. Rediscovery is good, and often coming at things new, with ideas not weighed down by past thinking can allow for breakthroughs.

> ...a stack language that evaluates right-to-left?

APL, J, K, etc.

> ...a stack language that allows parentheses as a sanity check?

Factor. Not really parentheses, but there are stack languages that use the stack notation ( x -- x x ) to verify stack balance and some that even use the stack notation to validate types. Types and stack balance can even be inferred.

> ...a Lisp that can drop nested parentheses when the meaning is clear from context?

REBOL and now Red, et al. But, as @mananaysiempre stated in another comment, the primary use of parentheses in Lisp is due to functions that allow for variable arity.

Thank you for your description of The Economist. I subscribed to The Economist in 1996 and at time it really was a different than the rest of the news papers. For example, Philip Tetlock identified reading The Economist as a predictor for ability to forecast future.

Then something changed. One important change was that they basically started publishing their authors names by allowing authors have blogs with their names. I also understand (would like to know more about this) that they started hiring journalists. Previously only subject experts were welcome but at some point there was a huge influx of Guardian-type journalists.

To me, first hint about the change in the articles was their coverage of feminism in work place where they really started to spout fashionable ideological points such as writing that women make better leaders, etc.
A society with a small GDP is poor. And that was reflected in statistics like extremely high infant mortality rates within indigenuous populations pre-integration.

There was some decline in quality of life in the transition from hunter-gatherer life to early agricultural life, but there is still a huge gap between the quality of life in hunter-gatherer societies, or medieval agricultural societies, and modern societies.
Code Smell 82 – Tests Violating Encapsulation
I can see how you could get that Google should end "diversity" hiring initiatives as one of the core messages, but not "all" of them, and "he believes they're discriminatory against himself" is quite uncharitable. Having reread it just now after five years, the theme seems to be that he wants to find the intersection of Google being a good workplace for women and Google being successful as a company.

From the memo:

> Non-discriminatory ways to reduce the gender gap

> Below I’ll go over some of the differences in distribution of traits between men and women that I
outlined in the previous section and suggest ways to address them to increase women’s
representation in tech without resorting to discrimination. Google is already making strides in
many of these areas, but I think it’s still instructive to list them:...

He goes on to list interventions like more pair programming, changing performance evaluations to encourage collaboration over competition, allowing more part-time work, and reducing the stress of the job.

He says Google needs to reduce hiring initiatives which are not backed by evidence, and which are themselves likely illegally discriminatory, like hiring quotas (likely illegal) and implicit bias training (debunked).
I am in that last category myself. I had a really nice and useful budget app that had thousands of daily users and cost all of $20/month to keep going, if that. Was making some money off it too with ads and sales of the ad-free version. Except I built it using Ionic back when it was based on Angular 1. Fast forward to now and that code simply doesn’t compile anymore against modern iOS and Android and I don’t have the time to rebuild it. With some TLC it could have been something but at this point all I’m doing is sending replies to customer emails explaining why the app isn’t available anymore. Lesson learned: JavaScript frameworks ruin lives.

I had a side project game that made it to the front page for half a day and it logged about 28k visits for that day.

Any proven open source database should be able to handle that, sqlite included. It's most likely some form of bloat sitting in the middle slowing everything down. And probably more due to the way the page is generated via 'low code' framework vs. the intention/design of the author.

This is probably an intentional oversight by Microsoft. Nobody wants to have to deal with Windows 7 anymore, so leaving an option for people to upgrade for free allows the continued obsolescence of that OS (yes, I know the official support was discontinued, but it still looks bad on Microsoft if a bunch of Windows 7 devices suddenly get exposed to an 0-day).
