As someone who is inclined to introversion, forced interactions with the outside world are critically important to preventing my becoming an isolated, indifferent, and self-centered person.

I have far from been a winner in this pandemic. I wish that I could have been in the office regularly. I am extremely jealous of the engineering department and medicine department who were allowed to be at the university basically any time then wanted.
I was in junior school (<11 years old) in the UK in the late 90s. Lunch time was an hour and a half of (obviously eating) and loosely supervised running around in a field with a ball, attempting to climb a tree, using your imagination to play games with your friends, falling out with your friends one day, learning how to make up the next, falling out of said tree and being patched up by the school nurse.
There were music clubs and science and art ones too, where you’d mix with other years. The library had computers that a few of us learned HTML on, and later the internet.

I’m not really looking back through rose tinted glasses, this was also at a quite competitive academically driven private school (if you did not then pass the 11+, bye bye) but like, you really were free to do a lot. Perhaps things really have changed then (and I really have gotten old), I like to hope not. I dunno - I really just don’t think it’s fair to do that to the young. Especially coupled with the justification that ‘if you do rough and tumble play with your mate you will kill your grandmother’ reasoning that they must have picked up on.
Would this be 1440, by any chance?
Is the chip in question a complete CPU?
I can't think of any reason outside of product positioning.

A lot of the novelty of Lambda is its identity as a function: small units of execution run on-demand. A Lambda that can run perpetually is made redundant by EC2, and the opinionated time limit informs a lot of design.
wow, an 7600GT sounds like overkill for a p3, I remember I bought a p3 with a geforce 2 and later upgraded to geforce 4, but did not experience too much of an uplift, because the cpu was the limiting factor
Because many program "unnecessarily" allocate a lot of virtual memory and then never actually page it in, disabling overcommit will start killing processes due to lack of memory even though most of the memory isn't been actually used.
Those local elites would have even more power if they were independent, and imperial protection didn't mean much during the decades of civil wars. People tolerated Roman rule for centuries, during good times and bad, because they recognized that quality of life was better under the Romans. For centuries, barbarians migrated into the empire and were easily integrated into the empire. However in late antiquity Rome stagnated, infrastructure projects weren't being built anymore and various tribes were no longer being effectively assimilated into the empire. Rome's military was still very large, and the elites were more powerful than ever, but the empire fell because those elites and armies were no worse off setting themselves up as independent rulers of small kingdoms.
And that is absolutely what I would expect from Google: clueless, heavy-handed of the latest shiny technology rather than using existing methods and data that were working perfectly.
Still, almost impossible for a regular consumer to buy most foodstuff without plastic wrappings.
I had my Air Pods Pro replaced for free due to a Apple recall for all those bought before October 2020 and having some bad sound issues.

Rechargable batteries are still consumables, perhaps with smarter charging and new battery chemisty their lives can be eeked out for longer, however the electronics also need to be robust.

I assume devices are designed with a mean time before failure, and it is no easy to ask to to diagnose and surface mounted components.
It's especially conspicuous given how lucrative this specific drug is expected to be.

The drug Humira for example is a drug with a similar cost and schedule that is used to treat chronic auto-immune diseases. Humira was similarly a first of its kind drug that for the disorders it is used to treat. It became perhaps the most lucrative drug in U.S. history eventually leading to the company that made it spinning it off into its own company. It has sent pharmas across the world scrambling to enter the market, with many of them doing quite well too. And dementia is an even bigger market than autoimmune disease.
That's cronyism for you.
I guess it derives from the rule of three in writing[1]. It's a shame the article doesn't even mention it.

Some famous examples include:

Veni, vidi, vici (Jules Caesar)

Ready, set, go!

Life, liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness (Jefferson's draught of the US Declaration of Independence)

Or just more living / working space.

Say you're in one of many low to medium density areas (sf, suburbs of nyc, etc) and need more living space. Going up is very expensive and causes conflicts with the neighbors (earthquake zone, views); down is even more expensive; building in the yard loses, well, the yard. So going under the yard is not a crazy option.

Particularly in our brave new wfh world where employees now have to pay for their own working space.
Maybe quoting Roy Amara, a 1960s Stanford Computer scientist. He said "we overestimate the impact of technology in the short-term and underestimate the effect in the long run" [0].

I dimly remember similar sentiments in Arthur C. Clarke's Profiles of the Future (1662) [1], where he talked about "Hazards of Prophecy", where predictions suffered from either "failure of imagination" (predicted too little change) or "failure of nerve" (could/should have foreseen far reaching change, but chickened out and wrote down a watered-down version).

As ACC said it "The failure of nerve seems to be the more common; it occurs when even given all the relevant facts the would-be prophet cannot see that they point to an inescapable conclusion."

To build a new service at Amazon, the general path of least resistance these days is to use Lambda. If not Lambda, then ECS. If not ECS (or if it requires bare metal) then EC2.
Wow, the title of this post is very calm compared to what is actually happening.

CloudSQL Postgres is running with a misconfigured OS OOM killer, crashes Postmaster randomly even if memory use is below instance spec. GCP closes this bug report as "Won't fix".

This is a priority 1 issue. Seeing a wontfix for this has completely destroyed my trust of their judgement. The bug report states that they have been in contact with support since February.

Unbelievable attitude towards fixing production critical problems of their platform affecting all customers.
thanks. thought they meant "server message block" at first and i'm like do i have to?
The thread on cosmic weather that occurs in the comment section is pretty interesting as well.
"And Saint Attila raised the hand grenade up on high, saying, 'O Lord, bless this thy hand grenade, that with it thou mayst blow thine enemies to tiny bits, in thy mercy.' And the Lord did grin. And the people did feast upon the lambs, and sloths, and carp, and anchovies, and orangutans, and breakfast cereals, and fruit bats, and large chulapas. And the Lord spake, saying, 'First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it.'
I’d be curious to hear from someone who truly regrets having kids. I haven’t read the book, but searching google (or saying out loud) “I regret having kids” doesn’t necessarily mean that they always, or even most of the time, mean that.
It only works if everyone does it, and if they do it for the majority of emissions sources. As long as all the non-europe bits of the world don't do it, it's pointless. It just makes their flood defenses more expensive to build.
Simple life might be preferable, as it would be less likely to notice us and come annihilate us!
Ah, that's right... Per another comment I made, I was in the very fortunate position of being able to pay a premium for delivery. So I didn't see the grocery store situation, though I know they set up special times for seniors to come and shop. I also very much appreciated the fact that the people delivering groceries didn't have the luxury of working from home and tried to calculate tips that were high enough that even if they had a few inconsiderate people who didn't tip that mine made up for some of it. (And also account for people who needed to stay safe and have groceries delivered but couldn't afford to be as generous)

It's interesting how all of this highlighted social divisions, even subtle ones that weren't much of an issue before, like well paid doctors and nurses and other medical staff that couldn't work from home, and had to take risks with their & their family's safety:

I know someone whose spouse is an EMT, and they basically has to quarantine him in the house to stay safe because they worked in an extreme outbreak hotspot. Even then, the EMT brought home COVID and the other spouse ended up in the hospital, all just before the vaccine became available. That person still hasn't fully recovered, even though they're otherwise a perfectly health non-risk-group person, still weakened enough that even a partial return to working in person is at least a few weeks away.

There's going to be research for decades just on all of the social impacts this has had on society.

The closest comparison I can think off-- though not perfect-- are the social and workforce changes that occured I'm the wake of WWII... Not to mention the failed attempt afterwards to put the genie back in the bottle of women in the workplace.

Strange, interesting, horrific times we're in.
False dichotomy.

Introverts on average took less of a hit, as they didn't see much change to their lives and many of them already had remote jobs they were able to keep during lockdowns.

This doesn't mean they're loving it.

Well I gotta say many preppers were loving it though.
I'm suggesting jurisprudence, because the law surrounding this issue doesn't seem to be in any way intuitive, and it looks like people appear to have quite different ideas about how transgressions of this nature should be addressed.

I think I'm using the word correctly.

In practice, the law is on the side of the photographer. Perhaps this is not entirely fair, and that argument seems to be a theoretical one.
I got that figure from my last bill, they always add graphs and comparisons, like a bar chart displaying usage of a typical 1, 2, 3, 4 person household and then your usage. But maybe they show lower values here to get you to try and save more.

I'm in a two person household and usually clocking in at 700-900kwh, and that's with a 24/7 home server drawing 30W, a rpi for kodi that I keep running, dish washer, washing machine, induction stove. No ac, no dryer, no microwave, hot water and central heating with natural gas. Also no more desktop pc since around 2014.
Tesla vs. Everybody: A 1000-Mile Race in 11 EVs [video]
It was indeed an great exercise! Part of the motivation for me was also performance oriented. I should add some Perl one liners to the benchmarks to see where they land as well. My experience is that they are usually a bit slower than awk.
I assume they are working on getting rid of Yelp and only use it as a stop gap until they get their own sufficient data.
What do you mean? Things that don’t have an in-built switch, are meant to be fine hot plugging and as such, controlling via a power strip is fine.
Overuse of ventilators in the first wave probably killed a ton more people than expected. Once they dialed back ventilator use and established cortison treatments and normal oxygen instead death rates lowered.
The Big 5 replicate, but that's about all; they don't predict, work across cultures, and they're not really orthogonal.

Makes sense. I checked out Turbat, Pakistan and Kebili, Tunisia (noted for record temps) and at first glance their topography is less of a valley so some other mechanisms must be dominant there.
Yea this sounded pretty strange to me,

Im aware sedation slows breathing down, so some oxygen can be saved if human attached to tank is not hyperventilating for hours,

Pretty crazy the kids were sedated and hands bound and feet tied!
73% "claim" to support taxing corporations. How many will actually vote for it knowing it means higher prices? This is the fundamental issue with climate change. Everyone agrees someone else should do something...
Will superconductors ever have an application in commoditized electronics? Or, will they always require specialized cooling equipment? Could such specialized cooling ever be commoditized/miniaturized?

Same questions apply for QC's, which seem to depend on near 0K temperatures to function.
Plenty places don't have a separate breaker for that.
Visualisations for the Purchasing Managers Index (PMI)
This is a new thing really - it used to be that you'd use a different system that's in many ways better integrated with how the rest of development works but far worse in terms of UX and capacity planning, etc. Now many of the tools are basically frankenstein transformation from the old way into the Amazon-specific way AWS is used via the multi-account pattern.
I'm not sure what "Vouch" really does... but here I am

I think you're looking for this

Or the other way around... Although it would be great for humanity.
Look at that as retarded right wing and racist as the last of your comments.
I wouldn't call it well known but almost every carrier I've heard of has one. Check https://www.mfitzp.com/list-of-email-to-sms-gateways/. If your carrier is an MVNO then use one from the underlying provider.
In the UK Apple Maps is my preferred choice for Navigation. Google wins over finding actual places, though Apple Maps is getting better fast> I also use Apple Maps driving in France with no problems.
> You know your phone service provider has that location information in resolution that’s almost as good, right?

Just because one industry has access to my location data without me being able to stop it, doesn't mean I'm going to give any other company that wants it unfettered access to my location data for whatever purpose they want.

With maps the good news is I do have an opportunity to pick providers that have better privacy policies.
It hasn't reached my Tesla in Texas. This must be limited release to testers.
Your implied standpoint is that it’s only worth preserving if you can engage with it. Imagine having the same attitude towards endangered animals “why should we preserve the giant turtles when I can’t even find a shop that will sell me one?”

The language is intimately tied to the people and the culture. It’s not like they want to push random people around the world to learn it just for a laugh.
“ Together with Finnish journalist Johanna Elomaa, I wrote the book "Sukellus Valoon" (Diving into the Light) about my experiences during the rescue mission and how it changed my life”

^ From page 2 of the article. I Googled for this book but wasn’t able to find anywhere to buy it. Supposed to have been published in 2018. Perhaps no English version yet... was anyone able to find the book?
Why do you think this? I can see a large team of competent Devs able to adopt this.
If you looking only at distros like lubuntu ... but there are barer, like puppy linux!
Cloud & enterprise solutions.

There are a few reasons why RethinkDB failed; there's an excellent blog post written by the founder. I think there are many areas where we are quite different:

- We are building on top of Postgres, so we are not investing too much time into the hardest technical problems like creating robust DB storage and query planning/execution engines.

- Instead we focus our time on designing proper high level APIs, the EdgeQL language, migrations, and the DX.

- Yet still, EdgeDB is a relational DB; it's strictly typed and fast. Which is still what the majority of companies want.
What evidence is there that there has been an abnormal amount of corruption?

What is the normal baseline?
Google maps has a couple annoying features, the main one being the location arrow is confusing, I am by far not the only one saying this.
And as of recently, in some locations I have been(large western European capitals) it is lagging, on different networks and devices.
Many wrong turns taken because of that, this is very time consuming during peak traffic hours in large, dense cities.
Not sure about apple maps, but Google maps has me on the fence considering changing the app.

Also is there a feature where I can save "school for kids", "work", "sports"? I could not locate it.
Dogs have achieved an unbroken chain of survival dating back as far as your ancestors have, so they've achieved the same survival goals as you.

They've managed to do so without our intellectual abilities, which goes to prove that our goals of making RL algorithms become "smart" is malformed since high level complex and abstract reasoning skills apparently aren't a necessarily prerequisite to survival, at least in our earth environment.

My purpose was to help us avoid wasting time reading long articles written by a person who has evinced poor/compromised critical thinking skills.

If longevity research is important to you, you could help push the discussion by submitting something that is:

A) interesting

B) from a credible source

Please do. For what it's worth, I myself believe that increasing human lifespans is immensely important. I'd love to see a trillion dollar budget for it. I think you might be of similar disposition.

I'd suggest we're not helping our cause by throwing the spotlight on the people among us with conspiratorial delusions. There are plenty of legitimate and level-headed anti-aging scientists who would serve as better representatives.
About 4 hours after you posted this, one of those horrifying scenarios built out of a joke in my previous post suddenly manifests itself in my head.

Roko's Basilisk is no joke.
Most of these were likely managed-language programs.

Programs witten for managed language runtimes will have a language-runtime-level abort on malloc(2) fail, which usually is well written, in the sense that it will clean up language-runtime-level resources, and emit a language-runtime-level error message.

But this language-runtime-level abort usually isn’t exposed to the application in any hookable way, so from the developer’s perspective, it’s basically the same as being OOM killed. There’s no option to clean up e.g. an individual transaction’s resources in order to keep going. There’s no hooks for libraries to use to e.g. properly send close messages on sockets (if the language runtime doesn’t do that itself as part of managing socket lifetimes.) Etc.

These managed runtimes (e.g. the JVM) may expose a catchable exception for OOM errors, but these are for internal, language-runtime level OOM errors, triggered by the runtime itself under certain conditions, rather than in response to a syscall failure. When malloc(2) fails, it’s basically “too late” from these runtimes’ perspectives — they no longer have the resources required to allow the user to run any more code.
Probably the last thing you would want is an untrained kid to panic during the rescue. They would most likely kill both themselves and their rescuers in the process.
Mood affinity. If pandemics are bad, the results should be bad. Never mind people who were able to move back home with their family, who got jobs because they do better in remote interviews, who escaped crowded workspaces with throat-clearing coworkers.

It might be insensitive to crow about winning from the pandemic in a conversation, but it definitely happened in fact.
What I'm saying is that on net allowing juul to exist implies that the entirety of society is harmed including the people who pay taxes for the medical care required by people's vices as has been true of the industry to which they are heir. They have clearly marketed themselves to young people who otherwise wouldn't have taken up smoking. I don't think this is something we can just fine and move forward. If I walked into a school and shot several of the children I would be universally despised and strung up if the people could get their hands on me but if I market a product which leads to excess mortality of millions down the way the connection is sufficiently indirect that it is deemed somehow acceptable.

I think the entire industry ought to be taxed out of existence like boiling a frog not because I want other people to "suffer" but because I don't want people to suffer.
My experience is mainly that the chicken is pretty good but way overpriced for what it is. Service is on-par with other fast food. So I also don't understand why people choose KFC. Even when I did decide I wanted to eat there, They were also typically closed around the time I'd be looking for dinner.
Still better than partnering with Yelp, I would think. Apple Maps puts Yelp front and center like one of its star performers.
I respect Musk more than many commenters you see around. I understand he's not the billionaire savior many people seem to believe. I remember him mentioning something about how the sub couldn't go wrong because if the kids got there and the water rose, it should get where the kids were. How feasible was it, really?
E-scooters under fire: Can cities make them safer?
I had the same experience even in Santa Clara County. Google maps led me to drive on unpaved roads along the farms near Gilroy in order to avoid the congested 101. It's not worthwhile, and I'd argue Google should expose an option to let me express my preference.
OPs right,

We already have sports and board games for that.
How do you obtain custom lengths of fibre cables that work with ConnectX-3?
There have always been regional variations in this; I've had the same 1.2GBps plan in a few states now and it only ever got close to that number in the one where Fios was an option.

Comcast's only innovation in the last few years has been to add data caps to residential fiber service (my 300mb/s "1.2 GBps" is capped at 1.4TB/mo).
In what way is it modern?
