We had our 9mo child take 'Infant Swim Rescue' courses, basically anti-drowning lessons. The concern being the waters near us are cloudy and it'd be impossible to see someone if they went under. Classes went well.

At a neighbors party a 2.5yo fell into the pool. I saw it happening and the little girl just SANK LIKE A STONE. With a panicked look on her face. Little feet hit the bottom, let out a blurp of air and did nothing. Her Dad was already in the air diving into the water before I could get up. The child was fine, thankfully. Her folks immediately asked about the classes I'd mentioned before.

I can still see the complete bewilderment on that child's face. She just had NO IDEA what to do and would have drowned had it not been for quick actions.

My point here is lessons are absolutely worth considering starting MUCH earlier than you might guess. This isn't learning to 'swim', it's learning how 'not to drown'.
From Wikipedia: In 2011, Pai was then nominated for a Republican Party position on the Federal Communications Commission by President Barack Obama at the recommendation of Minority leader Mitch McConnell. Mitch is the real enemy of the US here -- a tyrant of a sham election who continues to wreck havoc on attempts to run a healthy democracy.
Can't speak to this theme, but in general: Some users don't like unmaximizing and resizing their browser windows, and also don't like reading full-width text on a widescreen monitor. Rather than browsers providing a workable solution for all users regardless of window size, sites have to accommodate this.
Good feedback - maybe I'm getting them confused with another of the AWS lite folks (linode or ...). I had a miserable time on one of these with just trashed IP address rep (but unlimited bandwidth supposedly).
I have often wondered if it wouldn't be cheaper for the government to pay for the occasional lost cattle instead of costly rehabilitation. Of course there would need to be safeguards in place to prevent abuse of the mechanism, and to prevent predators from getting used to easy preys.
Just as another data point, I am from Europe and my application was accepted very quickly. Im currently using Hetzner for most of my personal cloud stuff and have been very happy with their services thus far.
It's much easier to take the habits of early employees and call that "Company culture" without considering the reasoning or consequences. If Engineer #1 used to go on drinks on Wednesdays to cope with stress after the weekly release, 100 engineers later it becomes engrained as "company culture" to drink on Wednesdays at the same bar (which was on the way to his home) even though releases are now done on Thursdays and the bar is out of the way for most people.
One of the largest ISPs in the UK (BT) provides dual stack connectivity as standard. Their CPE is configured to enable dual stack LANs as standard. Few consumers login to their CPE to change anything.

"It Just Works."
Agreed very much. I do believe seeing someone's face makes a great difference. Audience's facial expressions helped me a lot when I was talking.
Good. Its time to stop messing around with this. The vaccines are tested and are safe.
Nonstandard Work Schedules in 29 European Countries, 2005–15
Yes, there is a main difference which changes the entire definition. Sulfur emissions are a core part of steel production. You cannot manufacture steel without using carbon in the reduction process. It is inherent.

However, you CAN research diseases without having accidental lab leaks. Thousands of labs around the world do this perfectly fine year in, year out. That's the way it's normally done. The process of researching diseases does not inherently impose costs on anyone else.
More accurately, everything is ideological at its core. I say this as science.

Even tabs vs spaces is an ideological battle. And so is for and against downvoting. I am against downvoting because I am against censorship and for free speech.

And to then say "avoid ideology" or to be modding a platform based on a "no ideology" ideology is like being against meaningful conversation on a conversation platform.

So we are left with excessive pampering and everyone walking on eggshells. Whenever something gets ideological, we can't handle it and so we censor it. Or hide behind a downvote. All because we're not allowed, and hence have had no practice.

The platform that can handle political discourse without breaking will be the next great social media platform. We owe it to ourselves to build it, instead of pretending this is already it, whatever your platform of choice.
Visual Studio Code C++ July 2021 Update: Disassembly View
Saw the same thing out of NYC. It seemed to only last a few minutes, I didn't bother to investigate further due to the short duration.
I had the misfortune of seeing this first hand. I caught an employee who embezzled $19,000 from my company red handed. The police refused to help even after I reported it until I called the mayor's office and complained.
NoScript is reporting the following:

2. cloudflare.com

3. fontawesome.com

5. soundcloud.com

Now, I don't know what kind of scripts are being loaded from these sources but things are looking refreshingly spartan, considering techdirt is an online publication

For comparison, arstechnica usually has like 18 sources, 10 of which are trackers
I think the problem with LSAs was the industry adopted them too fast. There were so many manufacturers none of them could the volume needed for lower prices. Even Cessna canceled the C162. This has been improving over time of course.
Great points. FYI, at least in NorCal, native plants are typically much hardier than regular grass and other plants used for landscaping. In other words, they're well adapted to periodic drought conditions, so, you probably won't have to water them at all.
Spammers and scammers already use domains as a disposable commodity creating them or using hacked ones for single campaigns and moving on. Part of filtering based on IPv4 is not only scarcity but accountability. When the owner of the netblock reassigns the ip and its already blacklisted it can create a problem for them and incentivize them to police their own network. Domains are also worse in that its easier to use fake information and be untraceable. its also understandably easier to get a response legal or otherwise from a co-location or isp than a domain registrar. Maybe ipv4 will always be preferred for email just because its more difficult/expensive and therefore less appealing for temporary malicious use.
My lab in grad school built a - for us - quite expensive submersible robot. At one point we managed to set the embedded computer box on fire. My advisor physically restrained us from grabbing the fire extinguisher, and made us let the fire burn out. It was simpler to process the PRs for new computer hardware than the paperwork for a fire extinguisher deployment.
How to convince your clients to automate
That's basically my experience administering Microsoft 365 at my last job.
Maybe. That depends if OSS devs switch to this or not. This only hurts those making money off OSS which is fair. Think of it as contributing to improving the OSS.
> I give Toyota big props for the Prius, which was the original Green Vehicle 15-20 years ago, and still is a HUGE player in the efficiency space. IIRC, The number one vehicle trade-in for TSLA has been Priuses. Was there even a car before the Prius that used regenerative braking? In many ways, Prius "primed" the market for greener vehicles.

> And yet, Toyota had no great BEV follow-up

Prius sales trends since debut in 1997 reflect this sentiment in that they were first, executed well, and thus had most of the market. Current Prius sales are dropping off very steadily by year, though.

But to your point on the trade ins, current Tesla Model 3 sales are getting close to Prius' best all time sales of +200K units/year.

If your application can't cope with five minutes of downtime, I'm sure you're not relying on a single cloud vendor.
Although it's restricted by HOA in many areas, one alternative is also to not have a lawn. Grow native species, food, anything that homogeneous non-native grass.
AMD's ROCm 4.0 now supports cooperative groups, which is probably one of the last major holdouts for CUDA compatibility.

There's still the 64-wavefront (for AMD CDNA cards) instead of 32-wavefronts (for CUDA). But AMD even has 4x4 half-float matrix multiplication instructions in ROCm (for MI100, the only card that supports the matrix-multiplication / tensor instructions)

---------

I think CUDA vs OpenCL is over. ROCm from AMD has its restrictions, but... it really is easier to program than OpenCL. Its a superior model: having a single language that supports both CPU and GPU code is just easier than switching between C++ and OpenCL (where data-structures can't be shared as easily).

-----------

The main issue with AMD is that they're cutting support for their older cards. The cheapest card you can get that supports ROCm is Vega56 now... otherwise you're basically expected to go for the expensive MI-line (MI50, MI100).
Poll: Remote work changes at your company
For all the talk about remote work on HN, I was curious how many people's companies have actually changed their policies!

Please vote based on your current company's pre-pandemic and post-pandemic policies, for people in your position. In other words, if you quit your job at Remote Work Skeptics Inc last December for a new position at Remote Work Rules LLC, please choose "My job was fully remote before the pandemic", and not "rarely remote / fully remote".

(My reasoning for doing it this way: some people may be planning to switch jobs, and some plans will pan out, and others won't. Both questions are interesting, but I had to pick one, and this seemed more reliable.)
*Before Pandemic*: rarely remote / *After Pandemic*: rarely remote
*Before Pandemic*: rarely remote / *After Pandemic*: partly remote
*Before Pandemic*: rarely remote / *After Pandemic*: fully remote
*Before Pandemic*: partly remote / *After Pandemic*: partly remote
*Before Pandemic*: partly remote / *After Pandemic*: fully remote
Most other GCP products can rely on their SDN to abstract away any differences between colo hardware. But this change is more a vertical through-hole change in the SDN itself — possibly involving, say, third-party network switches and middleboxes in their racks routing encapsulated SDN traffic. If those switches/middleboxes do enough in ASICs, they may have to literally do hardware swaps to execute this rollout.
All diesel fuels are lower lubricity than they used to be (due to changes for modern low-emissions diesel engines).

If you have an older diesel engine, you can use additives to restore lubricity, but I don't know if they are approved for use in Jet/A for a piston diesel aircraft.
I believe that the person you are responding to is basically telling you that 'utilitarianism' is an unethical moral view, to them. Either that, or that there is no utilitarian who is capable of competently calculating the cost of eroding public trust on future life loss, and therefor one should not engage in it.
My only issue is with this line:

>> employees could continue working from home through Oct. 18.

I agree that they should mandate vaccines for in office. But if they do so, I don't think they should force people into the office.
XLA is domain-specific compiler for linear algebra. Triton generates and compiles an intermediate representation for tiled computation. This IR allows more general functions and also claims higher performance.

Yes, the IPvFoo icon would change from 4 (red) to 6 (green).
But if you caught them red handed why are their hands not red? Case closed.
> You have a baseline and studies have shown it seldom changes much over your life.

Not all that long ago the very same thing could be said about a wide variety of things that we now take for granted/baseline, like basic competency in reading, writing, and arithmetic as one example. Unlike those things, thinking to a certain degree of competency is innate in human beings, but exceptionally skillful thinking in things like logic and epistemology must be learned...but for people to learn them, they must be taught. As it is, numerous errors can be easily found even in intellectual spaces online, demonstrating that even the cream of the crop is far from perfect....and as for the less intellectual places (the overwhelming majority), well we're all familiar with how bad those are.
I would consult a tax expert to structure the payout to minimize taxes, then sell it for any reasonable offer. I would not stay on past a transition period.

Basically, I'd take the money and run.
I have never bothered digging into it, just noticed a pretty irritating rise in bot gates after enabling IPv6 through the router (though it could be entirely coincidental). I of course still have an IPv4 address.

Walmart uses a litany of external services, presumably including real-time threat/bot analytics. For instance AdobeDTM, which does indeed serve via ipv6. It seems possible that IPv6 could be playing a part regardless of the status of the base site. These bot gates aren't at HTTP responses, but are in client interrogations and javascript triggers while interacting with the page.
Why stop there? You can't get hacked if you don't have electricity.
I understand that, but right now people are able to get by with IPv4 only, and aren’t going to switch until they have to. The long term reality isn’t going to make someone voluntarily switch.
Occasionally there will be a newbie client that needs to see the basic calculus of their ROI. I found this simply calculator and their custom link creation to be incredibly powerful as a visual persuasive device.
Does Triton support automatic differentiation? I don't see that feature in a quick poke through the docs.

If it does compile to LLVM, I suppose it can use Enzyme

This is also my case. I spend all my day on a computer (and then the evening for fun) but a lot is thinking.

I always wanted to learn to touch type but never needed it so much that it would be worth to dedicate time for learning.

I do code a lot but I am a poor dev so I spend time thinking how to do things out looking at the docs (despite coding for 30 years).

It was even more obvious when doing my thesis (physics). 70% time thinking about code, 30 actually typing
You personally know how to use Rails and a number of other web technologies relevant to building web apps. So this product is not for you.

Much in the same way that Home Depot is not for me.
The good news is that what is good for humans is to maintain biodiversity and what's good for biodiversity is good for animals. We are currently deficient in this area, so even if the world was full of big_curses we would still need to make some progress in protecting wildlife, if even for our own selfish reasons.

But you are wrong that animals don't have, or cannot conceive of, having rights and that we don't "owe" them anything. The truth is that we owe all living things the right to exist in the same way your rights are granted by the constitution. It may be a tough to shake off a barbaric mindset like the one expressed above, but if you don't want society to leave you behind, I suggest you try.
From stolen laptop to inside the company network
Or maybe, you are just wrong and can't actually take it. Being professional doesn't mean people have to take your opinions seriously.
Most hydrogen isn't from electrolysis of water. It's mostly made commercially from natural gas.
That table isn't very helpful. What does it mean for Arch Linux to have IPv6 support? When you say "Amazon" doesn't have IPv6 support, do you mean AWS, the retail store?

It would be better if instead of linking to say, archlinux.org, you link to the actual page describing what specifically about Arch is IPv6, same for all the other endpoints. I would also replace the support sentence with a green/yellow/red color checkbox, and get rid of the twitter link.
How accurate is this? Steam I know has some ipv6 support for downloads whilst here it says it has no support at all.
Go to any internet-related forum and search history for those keywords. You will find countless stories of seemingly technically people who in the end give up on self hosting and switch to managed mail provider. Because even if you solve those policies perfectly, a personal mail server will have such a low rate of outgoing mail that all the big players will effectively treat it as history-less server and will occasionally route the mail into the black hole. There is no recourse for that.

If 99% of contacts you want to send mail to are on google/yahoo/microsoft you have to play by their rules. And those rules are effectively "send mail internally or gtfo".
If Google believes their employees are more productive in the office, why shouldn't they do everything in their power to get the workforce back into the office?
Surprisingly, London has a huge amount of parkland and multiple rivers - you only have to fly over it to see it all (or live there to experience it). And lots of varied creatures living there.
They told me they were having the same supply issues as everyone else right now. I wanted to look at a highlander hybrid and they said they were only getting sent 1 every few months and usually didn't know when it would arrive until it was in transit.
Quantum information?

Charles Bennett discusses the physicality of information, and the revolutionary ideas and thinkers that led up to the fusion of physics and computer science that eventually gave birth to the field of quantum information.

Charles Bennett is widely considered to be one of the founding fathers of quantum cryptography for his discovery of the BB84 protocol.
It doesn't, just a little obfuscation in certain functions. Some parts of that I already know how they work from other people/prior work. I don't think there is a better candidate actually, besides a tiny DOS-like game written in C, but the game I'm looking at is something I'm actually interested in.
I don't understand why it would ever be useful. Either you want it on, or not. Imagine if your mute button decided to reset every now and then. Pause button, or flashlight?

Basically nothing else works like that.

In fact figuring out how to turn off wifi with the combination of Airplane mode and wifi button just about blows my mind every time I try. So complicated.
And there's scuttlebutt that the LSA rules might be revised to be based off a load factor formula rather than a fixed upper gross weight limit, as well as the creation of PSAs (larger aircraft certified via ASTM standards rather than FAA part 31(? I can't remember the CFR part right now), which would allow for much faster and easier certification of PSAs (as opposed to standard category aircraft).

Here's hoping for a full revision to the LSA rules that allows 152/72/82 and Piper Cherokees into the category; that would open up Sport pilots to thousands of new aircraft they were unable to fly for essentially no reason. It's painfully obvious that the FAA's artificial limitation of 1320 lbs was completely arbitrary and is overall a detriment to the safety of pilots operating under the sport rules. Frankly, I think/hope that recertifying the majority of standard category aircraft as PSAs will help drive down costs and spur some new innovation in GA.
The article is specifically talking about how this argument doesn't hold water, and ways that Safari can better engage with progress on the web so that we don't all have to use Chrome (complete with notification prompts aplenty) for everything in 5 years from now. It's not arguing that Safari should add notification prompts.
A sidenote but unless public transport vehicles are electric, they won’t be better than battery electric vehicles. Typical diesel buses with typical occupancy rates have worse emissions per passenger mile then, say, a model three with a typical occupancy rate and grid emissions factor in US.

BEVs are fantastic, have SOME level of infrastructure literally everywhere with electricity (you literally can charge from a 120V outlet just fine), and we’ll need basically all vehicles to be battery electric to get to where we need to be.

It also is trivial to add EV charging infrastructure, which is another under appreciated aspect. It’s easier than installing a streetlight.
> The IPv4 world has had enormous mapping and trust ratings and understanding

Indeed, and residential ranges are wholesale blocked from participating in various services, because of abuse through compromised hosts in residential networks.

Budget cloud providers are wholesale blocked from participating in various services, either at thier local edge, or the remote edge, because of abuse through deliberate malicous customers and/or compromised hosts.
This article, for all of it's words, doesn't really justify it's thesis at all. In one hand, it declares that we all must put aside our differences to pursue lives of ethical piety, and in the other hand it demands that we cannot ask questions to get there. At no point along the essay does it seem that the author entertains a middle ground between the two, which frankly confuses me even more. And for all the Socrates-bashing they indulge in, they seemingly forget that the purpose of a Socratic Seminar is not to walk away feeling personally dejected, but mentally enlightened. If all you can take away from it is offense, then why bother learning anything in the first place?

Persuasion is a two-way street. Rhetoric is not. If you dislike the way someone says something, then don't conflate that with the actual thing they're saying.
Like being a "programmer" is some genetic trait or something, or like using excel in any more or less productive manner doesn't require carving out hell a lot of time, it's just that time is taken from user's lives in small pieces, and doing PROGRAMMING seems like taking a university course.

I actually have a lot of empathy for people who forced to deal with all those problems, otherwise I just wouldn't care.
There’s probably a good reason for it, but I’ve never understood why IPv6 couldn’t be fully backwards compatible. Then there would be no need to migrate - everyone would be already on IPv6 by definition.
