Those patches were never merged, and I doubt they will be, because there seems to be almost no interest in supporting high DPI displays on X without a compositor. If there was interest in those, at the very least somebody would have to adapt them and figure out how to use them with XWayland. In my opinion, any patch that doesn't fix this for Xwayland/Xwin/Xquartz is probably not going to fly. If you want this, you actually do need some level of protocol support for this, and I want to address a common misconception:

>X11 provides the necessary information via RandR to perform per-monitor scaling

This is not true. If it were true, it would be significantly easier to get DPI scaling to work on X11 and XWayland already. If you're referring to the physical size measurements, there are numerous problems with those, and they should never be used to do DPI scaling. If you're developing for Wayland, you should just ignore those measurements and use the scale provided by the server. If you mean that applications can draw themselves at arbitrary scales, they could always do that, without even bothering with RandR, but that will break down when you try to handle the compositing cases, e.g. stretching a window across monitors and expecting the display/input coordinates to scale correctly. So regardless of what you're trying to get the apps to do, some more work needs to be done there.

Even if those problems were fixed, DPI scaling would still not work without more changes in the server. The major reason why it can't even work is because of input coordinate scaling -- the server needs to be able to scale coordinates based on a factor provided by the client, and RandR does not provide this, and it doesn't make sense to add it to RandR either. If you want to standardize how this is done, the best way would just be to copy the method used by Wayland back into the X server. Part of it might be merging those patches by Keith that you linked, part of it might be somebody finishing this MR: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/merge_requests...
Would have been a better design to encrypt the storage on the device and just wipe the key on factory reset.
How do you know you have the longest chain without having all the blocks? You need to reach consensus on which blocks exist, and you can't get that without talking to enough other nodes to be pretty sure you have enough blocks that a longer chain is unlikely.

When there is a network split, nodes on one side of the split might think they have the longest chain and be wrong about it. Unless you know you have most of the computing power on your side of the network split, you can't really know which side has the longest chain until the network split is over.

So no, Bitcoin doesn't avoid the need to achieve consensus.
The results say :

"The primary outcome of hospitalization was met in 14/250 (5.6%) individuals in ivermectin group and 21/251 (8.4%) in placebo group (odds ratio 0.65; 95% confidence interval, 0.32–1.31; p = 0.227)"

That's a 2.8% absolute difference, 50% relative, 33% less hospitalizations with Ivermetcin.

Also, as per the MSN article "Of 15,968 people who tested positive for Covid and were excluded from taking part in the trial, 12,356 could not participate because they were already taking ivermectin."

Could somebody with better understanding of the field indicate how it compares with other studies, and how the methodological exclusions might affect results ?

The articles assertion "But the largest trial yet comparing ivermectin to placebo was published on Friday." is false according to this recent meta-study :

Hard to say-- the owner was pretty damn pissed off about things too. Given what I saw if that, I could more easily imagine an underling dealing with cost overruns & agreeing to let the contractor go the cheap route.

I can also easily imagine that the cost overruns we're overstated and the contractor pocketed the extra profit.

I agree with your points but this particular point that you mention ...

> A more sophisticated controller would be able to take into

> account the fact there are servers currently starting up,

> and only call for more if those already on the way won't be sufficient.

cant that be modelled into the transfer function characterizing the system. Even linear dynamics are quite capable of modeling sluggish dynamics, so PIDs should be able to handle them fine. If there are strong nonlinearities and the system may start far from a desired set point (to the extent that local linearizations are far too inaccurate) or may venture far out, then yes PID may indeed have trouble.
> We can learn from copyrighted literature or code that we read.

Not everywhere. Emulators communities often prohibit people from contributing if they've read the original code to protect themselves from copyright claims.
> We talk about an industry were people receive money for just being themself.

Some people, perhaps. Others will mold their persona to suit the needs of the market. Others will wear an entirely different personality. Some are open about this, though they may choose to express it in other terms. Others are not open about this.

> No, it is for this completly irrelevant, because there is no straight path how influencer, creator and the whole industry evolved. People come with all kind of motivation and grow into all kind of paths and motiations.

I agree to a degree, but ultimately some motivations are more important when evaluating the relationship between the creator/influencer and the consumer. It is problematic when the creator/influencer is willfully deceptive. There are far more opportunities for the influencer to be deceptive.
The Moon Doesn’t Just Have an Atmosphere, but a Tail, Too
Chaos is an interesting word to use. Underneath all the chaos is so much order. Dare I say the universe is mechanistic in its working. The earth orbits in an orderly fashion, set at a distance from the sun that is just right to sustain life. The moon makes its transit, and with us all the planets here move in their own ordered fashion.

Or I suppose we could go smaller. Your body moves and goes, replicating one of the most complex forms of machine code known to man. That replication is paired with voltage gradients across groups of cells that determine macro organization of cellular structures.. The human body is self replicating, self correcting, and even keeps itself clean.

You see chaos, I see order (and I admit the order is becoming more chaotic). But that you recognize the chaos gives light to the fact that you desire order. And there is order to be seen if you look for it.
I am the original poster. There is no attack to the credibility of the author, there is questioning the lack of a consideration on the confounds and a sufficient explication of the term gifted. Disappointingly a crowd of people emerged demanding reverence to their PhD, career and the verbosity of their essay without being able address my original critique. I am not saying I am necessarily correct, or they necessarily haven't thought it out etc, but it is a pretty damn valid question to ask.

It is almost as if people are personally offended because they are inclined to consider themselves gifted and explain away feeling depressed with that.

It’s not so clear what those mean. Particularly if Lorenz invariance is really true, what is a planck length in your reference frame could be 10 planck lengths or 10^20 planck lengths in your reference frame.
It really was the prevailing wisdom of the time. I entered the job market in 92, a few months after CERN released their browser. I knew what was coming when I saw the web for the first time, but the only jobs at the time where custom desktop software for businesses. It was the same after the .com bust which is right around where you picked up. 04 and 05 where really bad years to be in the industry, as the only jobs left in the industry where internal corporate software gigs. Which meant most of the employment opportunities where not, out in CA, but rather in sporadic areas around the country.

As well, there was a waves of offshoring, so again the common wisdom was do not go into computing. With that being said, I hade the fortune of working with a company that was early to mobile, and was working with Palm on mobile web apps around 2000, so when the crash came, though I lost that job due to the company closing, I knew mobile was right around the corner and went back to grinding out internal corporate software for a few years.

The offshore projects started to fail to deliver and then Steve came back and launched the iPhone. My experience is software is a boom bust economy. It's been more robust this run and everyone learned that outsourcing was not the win-win they thought it was going to be. In the meantime software ate the world so there is not enough hands to do the work that is out there and to your point, a whole generation was discouraged from entering the market. If there is any market that has a bad track record of employment forecast software dev has to be top of the heap.

You're arguing with a point I didn't make: the bang bang controller was a random counterexample.

> Bang-bangs cannot do the job where you have a low inertia, low damping system that cannot tolerate jerks. PID simulates exactly those properties, inertia and damping, but through the controller.

This is exactly what I'm saying: the control theory should model the actual system being controlled. Most uses I have seen of PID in the software industry do not, and consequently have to be hacked to death and are very sensitive to tuning. Old industrial stuff can be like that too sometimes.

Does datacenter load have analogous properties? Absolutely not. That's my point: it's a bad usecase for PID.

> Bang-bangs are just not smooth enough and does not give enough control over tracking

Well, in fairness it could if the timestep could be made arbitrarily small. But in practice, yes, this obviously wouldn't work.

> Beyond the logical fallacy I won't get into how do you explain https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Learned_helplessness where people/animals are having actual struggles and yet depression settles in ?

Learned helplessness seems pretty closely related to depression and I’m glad you brought it up.

The depression in animals comes from learning that they can’t influence their torment. I just read the book “Grit” and that had good treatment of the matter. The flip side of the coin is that you can learn that you actually can influence your life.

Torment without ability to influence the outcome is obviously going to lead to depression.

I think in humans, there is learned helplessness in that people know that, e.g. going for a run, getting out of bed, taking a shower will make them feel better, but they have somehow learned to believe that it won’t. I suspect for many people, depression starts out mild but becomes worse over time as they learn to not even try to be happy. https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/basics/learned-helplessne... I’ve seen it with other interventions - e.g. “why even go on antidepressants, nothing will change”.

Of course there are other causes for depression - abuse, neglect, etc. I’m specifically more interested in the depression that comes from having a comfortable life that looks great on paper, yet still results in people saying it is a struggle to wake up and get out of bed every day.
The same bank that told regulators to do one when the UK introduced ringfencing (splitting investment from retail banks). I remember there was a story in a paper that someone from the BoE went to talk to management, the BoE told them that Parliament passed a law saying they had to split, and Barclays responded by implying they wouldn't split and would take down the UK economy if they were forced to...you cannot make this up. It is like the Devil being made Pope.
I'll second this. I've been a subscriber for a couple years now. What I like specifically is that they allow you to select a context ("Focus", "Relax", "Sleep", or "Meditate") each with several sub-contexts (e.g. "Focus" has "Deep Work", "Creative Flow", "Study & Read", or "Light Work").

It has helped me overcome a lot of distraction in order to get me started on work and keeping me focused once I've gotten started. It's worth the money, in my opinion.
> any scheme to replace proof-of-work needs to maintain that element of irrecoverable loss of value for a failed double spending attack.

As others have said, this is not true. All that is required is that it is expensive to successfully double spend.
Analog computers seem to be very well fit for running neural networks (that's since the beginning, this is not the fist time normal computers are beaten), but they are a really bad choice for mostly everything else.

In all likelihood, we will find many more usages for optical processors, but I really don't think they will ever be your main CPU.
A free market will take care of shortages, the higher price of a particular commodity will mean higher profits and incentives the production of that good. So it's actually opposite. Look for videos from the communist block countries, people were waiting in line to purchase things like bread and toilet paper daily. Its not the Utopia you have in your mind.
Take air travel, right now there are extra costs of tests, and quarantine hotels in Canada, can add thousands to a potential trip. Making it financially impossible for many people to afford it.

My approach was to have a default kubeconfig for dev/QA environments, and a separate for production.

Which one was the first spend and which one was the double-spend?

You are talking about a distributed network where there is no universal time by which this can be measured.

The blockchain is the solution to this problem. It provides an ordering which is to be universally agreed upon, because the only way to disagree with the ordering is to use >51% of the amount of electricity securing the network to state your disagreement.

A spend is invalid if the consensus in the network is that the TXO being used as an input for a transaction has already been spent in a transaction which has been mined into a valid block. Until that happens, any valid transaction which spends a TXO may be the correct one.

Plenty of similar explanations exist. tl;dr "3nm" doesn't mean the transistors or anything else on the chip is actually 3nm.
Structure is not entropy though unless I am missing what you are saying. The arrangement of macro level objects like a supercluster has less to do with entropy and more to do with dark matter/energy or what ever that stuff is. Also I dont follow the reasoning that this concept of entropy is incorrectly being applied to the universe... energy is energy I have never heard that the thermodynamics only applies to isolated systems in equilibrium.
Well, in my experience as an educator and student over the last... 12 years or so... degrees that universities offer are overwhelmingly comprised of students wanting to study electronic music/audio engineering or some hybridisation of those (sound composition/screen composition). Orchestral degrees are becoming far less popular.
That's the US perspective on the matter, not globally applicable.
ASTs are, as the name suggests, trees. There are useful concepts you can't express directly in source code of most programming languages. For example, while you can express a function reducing results of other functions directly:

f(a(), b())

you generally can't do the reverse. Not directly. Best you can do it:

foo = f()
a(foo)
b(foo)

where you create a runtime indirection, or - in a language with reader macros, like Common Lisp:

(a #1=(f) #1#)

where #1= lets you reference an AST node, and #1# lets you backlink to it. Unfortunately, that code will cause (f) to be called twice.

The article is effectively exploring a way to combine these two methods - to have the code denote a DAG directly (or even cheat a little and denote a graph with cycles), where the runtime representation is also a graph, and not a tree.

Myself, I'm strongly hoping there will be more work done in that direction, because being forced to talk in trees is very limiting. Some problems would be much easier to express as DAGs (or even cyclic graphs), and would even be easier to read them as such.

I worry that what's keeping us working with trees is the nature of plaintext itself. I haven't proven it, or seen it proven, but I strongly suspect that there is no minimal, direct representation of a DAG possible in plaintext - you can't move past a tree without assigning labels for backreferences.
There's lots of individual data points in time series data, so having a high file:data point ratio would cause issues including running out of inodes, the identifying handle of a file at the OS level.

UBI, just another socialist way to subjugate people.

When a right requires an obligation to do something by a third party through the use of force by the state, then it is not a right, it's a priviledge.

How are you going to pay for the UBI? through taxes and inflation, which is the worst kind of tax.
Replaced by other coal power stations, though, not alternative sources.

Posting to Hacker News Programmatically
I believe the 3rd image is wrong in that the pink should always stay above the green. The basic idea is you take two loops and then wrap the loose end of the lace around the middle 4 strands twice (or three times) and then finish by putting the loose end between the 4 strands in the middle (pink pair on above, green pair below) and then pull/dress it tight. It helps using the instructions from the site with the broken links to interpret the imgur images:

1. Pick up the laces.
2. Cross the laces over like this... (but don't have them looping into each other like in the picture)
3. and back, leaving loops either side
4. Take the left lace underneath...
5. then back over the top...
6. and wrap round underneath again...
7. and back over the top again.
8. Now similarly with the other lace...
9. underneath, but the other way...
10. then wrapping round as before.
11. Push the lace through the four centre strands.
12. And the same with the other.
13. Then tighten the knot up.
14. Finally, here is an alternate one with an extra turn (at step 10.5).

This is a great shoelace knot as it loosens and cinches tight without untying.
What do you mean by 'vaccine ban'? We had one of those [0] when the vaccine first came out and we had limited supply. This has not been a thing for months.
What we do have is an 'unapproved drug ban', and a policy of testing experimental drugs on adults first. The government significantly accelerated the process of getting the vaccines approved. What precisely are you proposing they do differently as a matter of policy next time?

[0] Actually, many more than 1 as there was no federal plan, so each state came up with its own.
A compressed file containing Quake's source code would be covered by the copyright on Quake's source code. The compression algorithm would not. The algorithm cannot produce the plain-text copyrighted material without the compressed copyrighted material.

Copilot has the ability to produce Quake's source code nearly by itself. And it's a work (not a person), so it can be seen as a derived work. Like a compression algorithm that sometimes tacks on the first paragraph of "50 Shades of Grey" at the end of files.

I'm not a lawyer, but that's my opinion (admittedly, my opinion is softening each day). Plus, the purpose of the tool is to create code for inclusion in projects somebody will hold a copyright over, and they likely won't be the original authors. So it's output should be held to a higher standard than a compression algorithm or keyboard.
This future always seems to be just around the corner for the past decade or so. Feels like vaporware to me.
