Ctrl+F shows nobody has mentioned searx yet, so let me - you can have your cake and eat it, too. searx uses modest resources (2G disk/2G RAM, cloud server friendly) and gives you all the results from all the search engines without being tracked in your end-user browser.

Here are some existing public instances to get started (visit Preferences! You can choose your own search engines!) and there are many, many more not listed on this page out there:

https://searx.space/

Give searx a try - what I like most is that it sees the same top result from 2 sources (say, Google and DDG) and places them as a single entry as first, but then offers a link that neither one of those had (say, Mojeek) as the second result. It actually helps you find more content by spreading out your searches to many engines at the same time and giving the best results grouped.
I don't understand why you care? 60hz seems plenty fast enough and there are a lot of things slower than that. We are usually waiting on networks, not displays.
It almost certainly is. And that's not entirely awful its a tool used by scientists to do work.

(it is inexcusable in 2021 in my personal opinion, but in many ways science is still in the dark ages wrt some of the tools being used, just as the
ML community is learning a lot about things like reproducability and falsafiability from scientists with experience here)

I just with the community would share code more to prevent common mistakes and repeated effort and so we can all learn.

Imagine a world with publically well documented code that helps people learn science rather than scientists having to teach coders what they want and codes having to teach scientists intracasies of languages and hardware choices.
The default LLVM backend has supported MIPS since before 1.0 as well.
I could see wanting this as a toggle on a particular search more than an account-wide setting

Desalination would be quite expensive in terms of having to essentially “manufacture” fresh water from saltwater. Then, you have to fight gravity to pump that water to a higher altitude where it is used.

The cost for this water would presumably be bore by the agricultural consumers who are the majority users. Currently, the water they use is essentially free. If we start charging farmers more for water I think we’ll discover that much of this farming becomes uneconomical.

> permanent social distancing and mask wearing is not a problem.

It's a problem, but we can manage it better than overflowing morgues. Frequent tests, rapid antigen testing (let's say at the entrance of restaurants, clubs, festivals), encouraging people who feel ill to stay the fuck away from others, and so on.

There are many other types of sea vegetables such as Nori, Spirulina, Dulse, Wakame, Chlorella, and many more. Spirulina in particular has an amazing nutritional profile.

And while you're right that the current market for these sea vegetables isn't massive, chefs are starting to work more and more with them which is shifting cultural acceptance.

Traditional seafood gets a lot of its "Fishyness" from the sea vegetables at the bottom of the ocean food chain. So you can create a lot of beloved seafood flavors just using sea vegetables. As ocean populations decline, traditional animal based seafood is going to get more and more expensive and I predict there will be a demand for a cheaper way to experience those flavors.

And as chefs get better at utilizing these ingredients and if more and more farmers and companies start to get involved with growing these plants, i'm sure industry marketing initiatives will ramp up just like you see ads from the "Peanut Growers Association".
I have the opposite problem where I'm terrified to invite regular income people to activities because of the cost. If I invite someone to an event/activity and their response is "That's kind of expensive," I feel embarrassed that I put them in a position to have to say that.
That's probably for the best. Reading things just because you're there, even though you're not actually curious about them, seems like a bad habit.
I run my own searx instance and it's amazing. One issue I am facing is with images not loading in the Images section sometimes, but other than it's perfect and I recommend it.

>This misses the point: the Registry is a filesystem. Sure it’s stored in a file, but so is ext3 if you choose to store it in a loopback mount. The Registry binary format has all the aspects of a filesystem: things corresponding to directories, inodes, extended attributes etc.

> The major difference is that this Registry filesystem format is half-arsed. The format is badly constructed, fragile, endian-specific, underspecified and slow.

Anyway, file systems and databases are essentially similar, the point revolves more around the poor implementation of the Registry (whatever it is).

I was thinking along those lines: this api (content security policy) didn't work with older browsers, because they didn't exist. An older browser wouldn't have blocked this iframe. And by looking up, it would be indeed very old.

There are several articles citing "bbc.co.uk" as fact which is similar to a Russian source citing "rt.com".

Not remotely similar; whatever their flaws, the BBC is still internationally respected for impartiality and professionalism, and the UK is still a country that values the freedom of ideas and expression of them.

> If I was a senior officer on one of those ships sailing near California, I would have hired 5 camera crews from Hollywood and called Elon Musk to lend me the team who is filming SpaceX launches.

This was back in 2004, before Musk even had any money, before high resolution cell phone cameras were common, and when policy around sightings was basically "don't ask, don't tell". If you're going to dismiss eyewitness testimony, at least get the basic facts right.

Now that the official policy is changing, maybe we'll see better imaging.
Yeah, a 5-year lease is a big commitment, for both the landlord and the renting business.

I would imagine that a string of 2-year leases would work better in that case. More flexibility.

"if you expect that things will get back to normal" - sure, but after several years of vacancy you are deep in red numbers, so it would make sense to reevaluate that position. That is a reason why I would not expect to see long-term vacant properties in places that do have reasonable demand.
You can't conflate overall R&D development with manufacturing and construction costs, that's a fallacy. I don't know what the exact numbers are but Tesla has definitely invested well over $100b in their supercharger networks, manufacturing facilities, and even cost per car and it will still be far less of a public good affecting far less less people directly and indirectly than a reasonable public transport network.
No, the primary reason is that being unrepairable is simply a side effect of being the least expensive way to manufacture it and people buy primarily on cost. I used to work for an outfit that made wearable consumer electronics: customer being able to repair something was never on the table. Hell, even with the right equipment, it was difficult for us to repair them sometimes, if we had a limited number of prototypes and needed to get a broken one working.

Yes, it seems like it's in the company's best interest to make something unrepairable, but the reality is that repairing a cheap electronic item simply doesn't even occur to most consumers.

Wait, does this mean they literally went door to door trashing equipment then moving on? shouldn't they then also help those people fix the problem or get a new router?
Were there people that thought the latter? Certainly there's still an expectation that things like spam filtering work, which require scanning.
Since the conversation is claiming that you can do everything in Rust that you can do in C, I want to provide some counter-nuance. :) I am guessing what people actually mean is that all the operations you want to do can be done via unsafe Rust somehow, and yes, you can do that. But also yes, it is not literally "just write 'unsafe'". You do need to use raw pointers.

For instance, if you want to overflow a buffer intentionally,

fn main() {
let mut a = [1, 2, 3, 4];
let b = [5, 6, 7, 8];
let ptr: *mut i32 = &mut a[0];
unsafe { ptr.add(5).write(999); }
println!("{:?}", b);
}

produces

[5, 999, 7, 8]

https://play.rust-lang.org/?version=stable&mode=debug&editio...

(Note that this is not just extremely platform-specific and compiler-specific about whether a is in front of b or vice-versa, it is straight-up Undefined Behavior because you write past the end of an object... but the equivalent C code is also Undefined Behavior, and subject to the same LLVM optimizations. So if you were happy with the corresponding C code, this is the equivalent Rust.)

If you really, really want, you can write your own UnsafeSlice type that does the unsafe stuff internally and exposes the standard indexing operator, which would make foo[z] actually accept arbitrary indices just like in C. But you shouldn't. https://play.rust-lang.org/?version=stable&mode=debug&editio...

(Among other things, a code reviewer should be suspicious of your use of "unsafe" in the internals of a thing without stating why the higher-level abstraction is safe, and in fact the abstraction is wildly unsafe here, so it's bad style to write code that launders the unsafety, so to speak. In the Rust for Linux patches, there are "SAFETY" comments above each use of "unsafe" defending their logical safety.)
The situation isn't common--I don't know the last time I've been asked for ID to purchase alcohol as someone who is very obviously not underage--but every now and then you'll run across a place that IDs everyone. Presumably, they've been busted for selling to underage and management has just taken judgement out of the hands of waitstaff/bartenders.
First tip: don't ask for advice from people who know nothing about you. The less context people have about your specific situation, the more generic and less useful their advice is going to be.
This seems like the same kind of argument as saying that because JSON doesn't support the number formats I like, it would be better to use a notation that doesn't support types at all. Well, I think the reality has shown that in fact having some support for types sometimes is the more pragmatic way of doing things.

If those types aren't enough for your use case, then you will be forced to roll your own types in some binary/string data anyway, so it seems like it's strictly more work if you just always force everyone to roll their own.

And even then you still end up with the possibility of people using the wrong syntax for your hand-rolled types, like not quoting values that are supposed to be strings or quoting values that are supposed to be numbers.

Besides, wouldn't it be easier to fix this just by adding some more types, or deprecating everything except REG_SZ or something? What's the advantage of moving to a directory based model?
"Of course, that's what THEY'd say!"

It might be fun to laugh at conspiracy theories concerning aliens and reptiles, but in saying the above, conspiracy theorists do have a point, and there's also a lesson that's applicable in general, which I can summarise as:

Fact checking (or any kind of fact serving) is worth shit if it's done by someone with (or which serves) interests counter to you.

For the same reason you shouldn't hire a lawyer recommended to you by the person that you're suing.
(Second tip: get to know people, and let them get to know you, well enough to ask for advice)

Other humans acknowledging your existence and even agreeing with your various opinions is a very very euphoric experience, it is true of any social media. Suddenly you have hundreds or even thousands of people that "get" you, that understand how great and clever you are. This is the drug that people can't quit.

People won't quit because they'd be unable to tell people that they've quit.

Another take could be that we are just all very lonely and that when you stop using social media you are left with emptiness that is harder to fill with real connections with friends especially during covid.
> many of those arrested are in 23 hour solitary for the past months without any charges filed on them...

Nope, you’re wrong. Please provide a link to a single case where a capitol rioter has been held longer than the legal maximum without being charged, you can only be held for 48 hours without being charged. The US is not Japan.

Have people been charged and held in solitary/23 hour a day lockdown without yet going to trial? Almost certainly, but that is an entirely different thing. It’s still terrible, but unfortunately legal.
I’ve also heard that humans are closer to tuna than tuna are to sharks. Not sure if it’s true, but it offends my sensibilities.
advancedlearning.school is available.

In my opinion, long is better than abbreviated. Nobody is going to type it - they’ll either click or it’ll be auto-filled - but you’ll have to say it pretty frequently, and “alschool” will have to be spelled out carefully so it won’t be heard as “ale school” or similar (that’s “a” as in “alpha”, “l” as in “lima”, school dot com).

If you’re willing to drop “school” from the domain name, advancedlearning.us and advancedlearning.club are available.
TVs have longer lifetimes than phone or laptop displays, so it’s safe to assume manufacturers would be more cautious. As for TVs, there’s not enough 60+ Hz content to justify much of a hurry. I’d be surprised if there were a significant amount of content above 24Hz.
You don't need anymore than that to match what C offers, C as in standard C, not in the folklore of C as a portable assembler. In fact you're freer in Rust than in C, because there is a simple, defined way to type-pun memory in Rust.

> Your C program is free to define x as an array with four elements and then access x[6] anyway

It's free to do anything, but you can't be sure that it will do that, because of the utterly weak specification.

> For instance the way GUI and command line worked together, and (starting with AmigaOS 2.0) applications could be wired up to exchange data and provide services to other applications in a consistent way across the whole system is something that went way beyond the UNIX command line and still is unmatched.

Dbus actually took quite a bit of inspiration from Amiga REXX ports (via KDE DCOP), so we've actually gotten that back in recent years. But so many Amiga features are still lacking in modern OS's.
I assume you’re taking about Cmdr. Fravor?

When he was interviewed on Lex Friedman, he was asked why more was not done at the time to investigate.

His reply was along the lines that he and everyone else had plenty to do for their day job already. They were doing ‘work ups’ for a deployment and Cmdr. Fravor was at that time the youngest of that rank on that ship and perhaps in the navy. So it would be a large reputation as risk to stop a busy training schedule to investigate this.

He also said that if it had a Russian or Chinese flag, they would have no issue in re-assigning every resource available to investigate.
Also, with externally addressable Azure resources, the resource name is used as part of the FQDN name, and you cannot change the hostname later. Which might impact on how you choose to name resources.
Man, the messaging around the vaccines is so damn frustrating. No wonder people are skeptical. “Get whatever is available when you are eligible” —> “Oh but not J&J unless you are over a certain age” —> “Or AZ unless over a certain age” —> “Don’t mix mRNA” —> “OK Mix mRNA if available. Just get fully vaxx’ed ASAP” —> “Just kidding, wait 8 weeks”

Like come on! I follow this reasonably closely and I am ready to storm the Ivory Tower over this messaging. I cannot imagine what someone who doesn’t follow this feels.

> For the longer schedule, the antibody levels dropped off between first and second dose, which included the loss of any neutralising effect against the Delta variant. However, T cell responses were consistent, indicating they may contribute to important protection against Covid-19 during this time.

Does this suggest that ~8 weeks after the second dose one will still have protection from plain covid, but protection again Delta variants will be diminished?
Games can push more than 60 FPS easily, but a lot of TVs (I’d assume most) are not used for that and manufacturers can extract extra profit from premium models that enable that (even if the panels and electronics are identical because it’s cheaper to manufacture that way).

For me, personally, the benefit of an HDR panel would be much higher than faster frame rates.
I remember standing the lobby at work watching the company's stock performance displayed on a Sony plasma TV and thinking "that TV cost $12,000 and that's what they're doing with it."

As maxerickson notes, I believe it's really important to note that this is an issue that impacts and stems from both sides. While I agree that manufacturers are incentivized to increase revenue, we should also be clear that the likely end-game is that everything becomes more expensive upfront.

We can't dance around with bullshit and tell people that right to repair (depending on the flavor), and sustainable pricing, and proper pricing of disposal will just result in the same or cheaper upfront costs - it won't - and we need the right answers for the obvious questions like "won't this just screw over the poorest people"?
