As someone living next to the affected regions I hope we never meet in person. People like you make my blood boil.

In many affected towns the foundations of old historic houses have been scoured by the flooding, in some cases the houses are over 500 years old, this indicates that such an event has not happened in the Last 500 years.

There are no historic records of a similar flooding event in that region.

The rivers level indicators have been fully submerged and destroyed un several locations. Such level indicators are build with the knowledge of historic flooding and are able to indicate higher floods. Them being submerged / destroyed indicates that the flooding exceeded all prior flooding by a large margin.

The very same phenomenon of record shattering weather events could be seen in the US: Texas snow and extreme heat in Canada.

And this is exactly how the climate catastrophe is working, the established weather patterns are changing rapidly because there is now increased energy in the system and the energy keeps increasing because we add more CO2, more Methane, the Poles albedo is lost, the Tundra is thawing and even more Methane is released.

We are at an inflection point here.
> What you consider minimal, some consider a 100-lb gorilla

A 100-lb gorilla is...quite minimal, actually.
I’m not sure that ridiculous is the right word. Sad, perhaps, piteous, maybe.

Folks who spend their lives away from nature often have no idea what to do with it when presented with it - appreciation of the natural world is a learned thing, not innate. Fear of nature, on the other hand, is an entirely natural thing, which is only overcome through experience. Prey animals which don’t fear being eaten in the dark don’t survive long, and we come from a long lineage of prey.

I live pretty remotely, surrounded by nothing but forest and mountain, and we occasionally have family or friends visit.

Just a few weeks ago, a friend from a previous incarnation came to stay with her husband - and they lasted two days of a planned week before they got spooked by animal noises (deer) outside at night, and decided to move on to a city. They like nature, but at a distance, preferably mediated via a documentary, as it transpires that large animals are scary if you aren’t familiar with them. Also small animals. There was a lot of screaming at spiders and ants and birds and toads. It’s a feeling I can empathise with, but one that I overcame as a kid. I grew up a bit in the country, a bit in the city, and remember being f’ing terrified of the woods near my suburban fringe childhood home. There were monsters there, I was sure of it.

Conversely, I’ve a 16 year old niece staying at the moment, and she’s just appeared this morning grinning from ear to ear, having watched a sounder of boar, with young, saunter past her cabin in the morning mist. They absolutely are dangerous, but only if you put yourself in harm’s way. She’s a country girl - she sees nature as her environment, rather than an alien one.

Anyway. I feel for folks who can’t appreciate nature in its raw form - it’s an inexhaustible font of wonder, if you’re prepared to take the time to even slightly understand it.
React only gives you tools to reduce your problems.

In the case of single page apps, preventing you from shooting yourself in the foot is outside its scope.

What you are describing sounds more like a general problem in state management, and you'll have that with any framework. A common way to avoid such things in React applications is with Redux.

Unfortunately, even those advanced tools need to be learned and applied.
I think the implied meaning of that question is that we are heading towards "cyberpunk" and we should not want to live in a dystopia.
Tried WSL, was buggy and had some issues with filesystem performance i think. I prefer having a 100% real linux & windows OSes that just work over slightly buggy workarounds. Plus i also host a lot of homeserver services (media server, SMB server, postgres db etc) on the linux host and its cleaner having those run on the host. If i want to do something very demanding on the host for example I can shutdown the VM.
Not really a problem, you can unbind the VFIO driver
What is stopping GPU hot plugging from working?

There was this recent improvement at least: https://phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Linux-5.14-A...

The code being injected doesn't need to hardcode any absolute addresses of the dependent functions. It works fine when the OS kernel randomizes virtual addresses of all DLLs.

> how injecting a DLL works, compared to what's being done here?

Very similar, the main difference is what's injected.

The OP is injecting code and running it. The injected code needs to be position-independent, in practice this means it needs to be written in assembly, which is very hard to do for non-trivial things.

I normally use VirtualAlloc to allocate a UTF-16 buffer for the path of a DLL I made, then use CreateRemoteThread to run LoadLibrary function.

This way I can use normal C++ with all the features in the code being injected.
Because some cheats use a VM environment to hide from detection as they can act on the VM from outside of it.

The solution though is not to ban VMs, but to push vendors like AMD and Intel to enable access to, and enforce usage of technologies like SEV if running inside a VM.

I use Abine Blur for this, and I think it's a great idea. I have two concerns, though.

First, I have to place a lot of trust in Abine. They get to see everything! It would be nice if the EFF or FSF audited these services.

Also, it would be nice if each part of the privacy respecting web supported the other parts. Blur supports Google and Apple browsers on smart phones, but doesn't (officially) support Firefox.
When you see the front page without being locked in, that can be pretty jarring, and to me a little insulting that they would show this crap to anyone.

But for me the value is that if I need to know or see how anything is done, learn about anything I like, hear any song or rewatch any news clip I can find it on youtube.

Unless you mean to also cover related videos in recommendations. Those are normally pretty useful.
Have you though of yourself as part of the problem? Maybe the socially responsible thing would be to consider an early exit to your existence.

Yes, this works for many laptops but it depends on how the laptop is internally wired. We have many members that use their iGPU for Linux, and the dGPU for the VM.

Thanks. Quite costly but might be worth it. What OS do you run on it?
Proton (a fork of Wine) can be used outside Steam. It's open source and hosted on github. There are also forks of Proton that are community maintained (e.g.: Glorious eggroll).

If you want to have the convenience of Steam, without Steam, you have projects like Lutris, which have community maintained scripts for each game. Those scripts are responsible for installing all the necessary dependencies and workarounds necessary for getting a game to work.

You can check https://www.protondb.com/ to see which games work well under Proton. If you don't want to use Proton, you can search the Wine application database for compatibility information: https://appdb.winehq.org/

I recommend Steam + Proton because it's the most frictionless way of getting games to work. The #1 complaint about Linux is how hard it is to do some things (like the guy I initially replied to), but it doesn't have to be that way.
One reason (not the only one) is if you write a DLL then you need an EXE to be able to spawn it on-demand. That results in 2 files to deal with which is rather inconvenient. Actually 3 files if you want to be both x64- and x86-compatible.

You understand this is mostly ruby using jemalloc and some other memory allocation tricks?

Support for doing this in python was added in PEP-445 (https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0445/) and implementation details can be found here from 2013 (https://bugs.python.org/issue3329). For more info see: https://docs.python.org/3/c-api/memory.html

You can see some commentary on using malloc-trim here too -> https://www.softwareatscale.dev/p/run-python-servers-more-ef...

...long story short: basically, you can already, but it doesn't really make much difference for most workloads.

Or, if your question is, why doesn't python get optimisation love and become fast like the javascript runtimes?

dunno. I guess we just don't have any big FANG companies pouring money on that, because they don't have a use for a faster python. A faster python does not make numpy, tensorflow or pytorch run faster because those are not written in python.

So I guess, there's a lack of value-for-effort in trying to 'fix' the problem of 'pure' python being slow.
This is all pretty new in the world. It took many years for aircraft investigations to get real professional at it.

How about we start with a simple algorithm like this:

1. Check if software is involved in the incident.

2. If it is, carry out an internal review to evaluate the possibility that the software may be a cause of the incident.

3. If it is, hand over to an independent review board.

4. Involve lawyers if and only if, the independent review board recommends it.

That was an off-the-cuff attempt at a suggestion. There is probably a much better way. Feel free to suggest alternatives.

I have no objection to lawyers getting involved. I just object to them suppressing the facts to protect their clients and preventing an independent investigation. It's impossible to cover up that an aircraft has crashed. Lawyers involved in an aircraft accident on behalf of the manufacturer (or operator) are basically doing 'damage limitation'. Lawyers involved in a software incident on behalf of the manufacturer (or operator) are basically doing 'evidence suppression'. They should stick to 'damage limitation'.
You can choose not to use them though. RHEL uses neither of those two, for example.
Long reads are still not as widely used since the error rates are much higher than in shotgun approach.
here is a problem (I'm software engineer). I have seen multi million software project run into to the ground by a very very experience software engineers. Why do you thing he will do worst ?
Thanks.

So if I’m already UEFI booting my VMs with dedicated volumes, the key difference is how GPU pass-through is done?
CS:GO works fine in a libvirt/KVM VM last I checked. As for Tarkov, see: https://mobile.twitter.com/TheBattlEye/status/12890276721867...

Note that the game vendor selects what features they want to apply to their titles that are available. BattlEye allows you to stop people using VMs, if the game vendor opts in to this stupid feature.
It sounds similar to the occasional "cell phone radiation" and "electromagnetic hypersensitivity" news article. What's interesting is that those stories always include a suspected cause. With the embassy story, it seems we hear a lot about the symptoms.
Anti-cheat measures end up blocking mostly the well-meaning players.

I know it's sometimes too costly, but game studios should invest more on server-side security measures and mostly distrust the clients.
I couldn't not read a "please" into dhcpleased, so I immediately had a flashback to this being a joke or a reference to INTERCAL: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/INTERCAL#Details
Other than BeOS nostalgia: is there any good reason to prefer Haiku over [name any modern Linux distribution]? I can see that it’s fun to hack on an OS and make it your own. But is Haiku actually known to do anything particularly well that other operating systems struggle with?

I don’t recall doing any registry edits. Most of the perf work i remember doing was on the VM side - getting the little tweaks in libvirt settings, matching vCPU topology to physical, keeping VM cores from running linux system processes with GRUB flags, using a dedicated USB controller and sound card. i think i set the MSI stuff gnif mentioned as well though it wasn’t critical for me. Generally stuttering will be resolved by making sure time critical events (like interrupts) are delivered quickly to the guest.

+1 on the writing stuff down :D I did it twice and documented pretty thoroughly the second time around, notes before each change, testing performance delta, notes about if it worked. It really helps.
> If you have ever thought, "why hasn't the CIA done this before?" then they probably have.

Exactly. Like when they killed Fidel Castro and then prevented 9/11 and then figured out that Saddam had no WMD and then
Are you referring to this one? https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/15667

Great read thanks!
I’d take that with a tiny pinch of salt - it seems he was referring to the specific enterprise that his family had worked for - but cement tiles were made all over the world in the 19th century, and I’ve a feeling they actually originated in Spain.
> If it's an contamination or an error, it will have very low read coverage (typical sequencing project be 50-200x meaning if you realign and pile up the reads back to the main assembly, you get a normal distribution centered around 50-200 reads supporting a particular base or region. If you have a very low coverage region or a sharp drop off in coverage, then it's most likely an error.

Wouldn’t sequence-specific biases(capture efficiency, amplification) result in distortions?

Do you mind sharing the arm you had in mind as well?
I wrote this another comment, but instead of getting too much into an arms race, studios should invest more on server-side anti-cheat mechanisms.

You could correlate community feedback and some machine learning, while also picking easy-to-catch impossible actions.
Fair enough. And also it sounds like you have plenty more experience with rack installation than most people. I never had an issue mounting though, but maybe my height helps ! 6'6

I bet you can calculate a probability that random short reads from a bunch of organisms can be assembled in a single 1 megabase-long sequence. And that probability is going to be low.
Pretty much, lots of factors that are hardware dependent, such as how your motherboard assigns IOMMU groups come into play.
Do you have any plans to support ruby-install and therefore chruby?
> I think the vast majority of people would correctly interpret it as just showing the distance between the end-point and the destination set and I don't think it's necessarily bad UI.

If this thread is anything to go by, slim majority at best.

> But still, with the popularity of Google maps and potential danger in misinterpreting it, it's probably worth considering ways to make it even clearer.

This is the really important point, and thank you for making it. Google Maps is used by 100 of millions (if not billions) of people. If these issues only impact 1% of users, that's still millions of people negatively impacted.

At scale, even "niche" issues matter.
I took my Tesla on a road trip from AZ to the Texas panhandle recently. On the 2000 mile trip, autopilot disengaged four times. Once during sunrise on a curvy section of highway with very distinct shadows. Once during sunset, driving into the sun. Twice more when close to semis. Had I not been paying attention, each could have resulted in an accident.

I really only feel comfortable on autopilot during rush hour bumper to bumper traffic.

Only when Tesla can be sued by my insurance company if the car gets into a crash while on self-driving, will I trust that the appropriate due diligence was applied.
On a sarcastic note, I'd agree. But not in all seriousness :)
That's why the whole weaponisation of space is stupid. Because it's easy to take out satellites by setting off a nuclear bomb at high altitude, it creates a band of charged particles, trapped by the earth's magnetic field, which pretty much destroys electronics.

It's QEMU and the kernel that do the magic - libvirt is actually kinda annoying and ill suited for these things, you have to edit lots of unnecessary XML just to change launch options for QEMU.
I learned to program on programmable calculators. I don't think I have ever reached the ratio of documentation to code that I've had back then.

Necessity is the mother of documentation.
It's important to sometimes step back and think about whether what you are doing actually makes sense. There are some assumptions about how formal logic is done in ITP (interactive theorem proving) systems that should be challenged. Here is my opinion about that: https://doi.org/10.47757/practal.1
The author is way out of touch. Jacob Frey actually embodies a lot of the ruthless values the author implicitly calls for, and it's not good. If anything, ranked choice has been best for electing moderate centrists who know how to pretend they're progressive but cling to fascism when the stakes are high.

The city leadership have failed on housing and failed on police violence, and if anything it's because they act too much like the author of this article wants his politicians to act.

The "days of old" politicians he hearkens for? Unfortunately they're the ones who let the shit fester for so long in terms of racial and socioeconomic inequities. The city officials have long attempted to emulate Chicago in an attempt to "put Minneapolis on the map", which has had the effect of exacerbating racial and socioeconomic inequality.

We do have a political problem in Minnesota, and that problem is a kind of ruthless punity that hides behind a veneer of "niceness" and "common sense". Except that our leaders are too often more focused on wooing high-dollar tax payers then they are on taking care of the people who make the city happen in the first place, the workers and families who live there.
Spiders are the only thing that bother me, despite knowing how beneficial they are to ecosystems. Also the fact that people love crab and crabs are just giant fucking hardened sea spiders is funny.

When I worked for a place with an e-commerce recommender, about the first customer request feature was editorial control on the recommendations, so they could actually sell the things they made money on (or had in stock), rather than what the algorithm thought was best…

There is a solid case for increasing potential for revolt being driven by inequality and the growing perception that merit does not actually come into play for very large numbers of Americans.

Ah, Docker. Looks like you have to run a minimum of TWO servers (or containers). You need a Java 11 server, and at least one golang proxy. Looks like "self-hosting" means, in practice, cloud hosting.
Intuit has been scamming low income users into paying for their services that were supposed to be free:

https://www.propublica.org/article/turbotax-just-tricked-you...

Intuit just decided that it could not make enough money with this scam, so they stopped using this particular one. It's probably a wise decision. Claiming that you're providing a free service, while making it pretty difficult for users to find it so they will use your paid services instead, is definitely wrong from a moral point of view, but it might also be shaky from a legal point of view. The bottom-line was probably just the profit.
Yes. But you get properly working real-time audio out of the box with the Mac Pro that you don't get with any PC system.

Assuming that this is true (which it is based off of the other comments) then that is EASILY worth the extra 4000 or even 10.000 USD to someone who needs real-time audio to do their recording or other audio creation job.

When I became a professional (in another field than audio/music) I developed 0 tolerance for tech that didn't work or that has me fiddle around with it for hours to work. It financially just doesn't make any sense to spend your time on that. It also doesn't make any sense from a mental health and free-time point of view.

I think that was the point (even though I'm not knowledgeable on the subject, other than having spent many day of my hobby-life trying to get Cubase to record with audio monitor (VST) without jittery latency on Windows and utterly failed).
There are interesting edge cases to these sorts of relationships, like Deadmau5 finding a vocal from a fan on stream for a song that is now one of his most well known ones. [1] From what I've seen, a lot of Twitch streamers and YouTube creators also form these sorts of relationships with other influencers, with it ending up in them connecting with each other. That dynamic is completely different than one between a person who has no followers on a platform whatsoever, but I wouldn't say the divide is as clear cut as fans and influencers.

When we're talking about influencers with hundreds of thousands of fans, like the ones which this article focuses on, the divide is still more well defined. However, when we get to people with only thousands of active followers, everything starts getting a bit murkier. What about a lesser known influencer at first forming parasocial relationship with a superstar and then actually connecting? I've seen this happen dozens of times with less known influencers connecting with the likes of Casey Neistat or Jon Olsson. [2]

There have definitely been times when it has seemed to me like a streamer on Twitch has been as dependent on their fans socially as their fans have been on them. A lot of this can be completely manufactured and facetious, but I think there are times when the non-stop schedule of the profession can seriously inhibit relationships outside of the cyberscape. Could be seen as another side of the coin when it comes to unhealthy forms of parasocial relationships.

I think the core question the article prunes at is amazing and I agree with just about all of it, just adding in some thoughts it provoked.
