This is true if you put your code in the Hyper-V managed WSL2 VM but now you have the reverse problem of WSL1, i.e. access via Windows P9 is slow and things like symlinks do not resolve whatsoever (on the Windows side).

In WSL1, access to files on the Windows host is far quicker than WSL2 and symlinks work everywhere.

To try to counteract this, I opted in to the insiders dev channel recently to try the upcoming X11 support, i.e. run IDEA inside WSL. While the performance is quite good, it's broken, e.g. try using find in project, the window disappears immediately 9 times out of 10.

In many ways, I found WSL1 more useable as I could use one shell for both the Windows and WSL filesystems with reasonable performance. I now use cygwin if I want to use gnu linux type tools on Windows.

Once the X11 support matures it will be a pretty good experience overall if people are willing to install things like IDEA in WSL, I'm looking forward to that.
There are also examples from Europe where mayors have outright banned or drastically reduced access for cars, and won re-election over the complaints of car owners. And these aren’t podunk towns either, one of them is Paris.

Of course, the counter argument is “but Paris has a good metro system”, to which I say maybe we should fix that.
In order of increasing cost of living:

Macedonia, Serbia, Bulgaria, Romania.

Why these countries:

* cheap (this is why Greece is not there)

* Christian i.e. culturally closer to America than say Turkey or Albania or Bosnia)

* 0-wokeness (if you are LGBTQ you will probably find it a bit more difficult, but Tinder/Grindr works so you can definitely find people for sex)

* good internet for near 0 cost

Probably best to pick the capital of each of them, or a large coastal (or mountain) town.

On a meta-level, why do news organizations run this kind of story? You know, "N-year-old does Adult Thing X, making lots of money" stories.

First, there's a lot of 12-year-olds. Second, as the Ergodic Hypothesis has it, sooner or later, even the least likely thing comes true. These two premises lead us to believe that certainly a 12-year-old can make $400K doing this sort of thing. It's just not news.

So what's the real reason for pushing these narratives?
How do you get that footprint plot? I'm using dump1090-fa and don't see it
Can you now use WSL2 together with other hypervisors like VirtualBox or VMWare? A while back WSL2 required use of HyperV and that removes possibility to run other VM software.

Big no go for anyone who also want to test software in other VMs
Ring crackers and vice grips would both work just fine.
> Yes, indeed it is the case with fused multiply-add operations, as I wrote below in another thread

This is not always true. Some FMA operations round after the multiply, and some do not.
As explained above, the real number is closer to 0.012 TW, so while the impact on the renewable transition is probably positive, it's very small, more like 0.1% of global energy production.

It's disturbing that nobody in this whole thread thought to fact-check those implausibly large numbers; it indicates that the whole thread is dominated by herd instinct, not rational thought.
My background is software development. Worked as developer and manager for 10+ years.

Nowadays I’m still involved with development working as Product Owner.

Throughout my career I have been seeing tech in high demand. Developers never becoming unemployed unless they want to and at the same time, companies struggling to hire.

I was just wondering if there’s something I could do to help both sides of the equation.
most dishes in europe would be plain boring without the columbian exchange. except for bread and fish/meat, you have very little staple foods left. Mainly beets and variants of it.
Potatoes are another great example. Being the staple food for most people since atleast the 1700's.
Nice work!

I was looking for a way to screen for unusual option volume (Volume noticeably above Open Interest), but didn't see a way to do that directly. I do see the filters for Volume and Open Interest, and I can play with those in various combinations to see what I want, but I think something like a single filter that allowed viewing all contracts where Volume > Open Interest would address this in a more direct way.

p.s. I know the level of commitment required to launch an MVP, and to grow and support thereafter. I had a job at the time, and it was a lot to juggle. I don't think I could have done it if I also had a family. I wish you the best of luck moving this forward!
I am not sure I understand this viewpoint. A 2010 MBP is ~11 years old at this point, which is an eternity given how the past decade of laptops have evolved.

If you buy any modern laptop that's not junk, you're going to be paying hundreds of dollars. I simply don't see why you wouldn't grab an M1 Air at this point.

Is it Big Sur/Monterey...? Like, if you could upgrade, would you?
The biggest one for me isn't anything you mention, It is iCloud Keychain. Due to all the security concern I have finally made the effort to use random password for almost everything now ( macOS even has a hidden password generator in KeyChain App if one of those site happen to have stupid password combination requirement )

But I cant even use it in Firefox on my Mac.

> What is the law in Spain for squatting?

Totally different as represented here. The "48h or is mine" for example is a rumor that journalists love to repeat, very good FUD element, but is false. The laws don't say that. Journalists know it of course, but they spread the rumor from time to time, because outrage attracts eyeballs.

This is a very local problem, maybe in tourist flaws, and empty houses or factories owned by banks, not so much to private homes, neither main or secondary. You can find outrageous cases in private homes involving vulnerable poor people that rent some room to the wrong people, or local politicians or judges that choose not to act, but is not the general rule. If you see some TV channels or tabloids it seems that is happening everywhere and that the police don't do anything of course, but it depends a lot on the place.

Yes, they are just ads in an even worse form because it’s not clear when to skip to to pass over them.
While some folks have legitimate concerns about any scanning, the majority of pushback isn't about the fact that scanning is occurring. It's about the fact that the scanning occurs locally on your device, which is meaningfully different, and rightly raises a million and one concerns about the future of such a feature.

The pushback is about the continued erosion of boundaries between what is "mine" and what is in Apple's purview.

Questions/criticisms about security theater aside, this is the difference between the TSA looking in my bags when I get to the airport vs. the TSA having the ability to look in all of my suitcases while I'm still at home.

One might immediately respond "but they can only look when you intend to take that bag directly to the airport to fly", to which I say "it's really fucking creepy that they can look in my bag while it's still sitting in my living room".

This is not equivalent to existing server-side scanning.
Price controls never work - they just change the currency you pay with from dollars to time, and housing quality.

One of the few things Econ 101 is certain about is that price controls never work.

This cannot be said too many times. Price controls never work.

Not even if you really want them to.

The second order effect is that without real estate investors, the market for rental accommodations will eventually disappear. Having no rental market would by default accomplish the goal of having everyone own their own home, but it would cause plenty of other social and economic pain.
There is paid commercial software for Linux, like MATLAB or Wolfram Mathematica. But the sad truth is that many companies like Microsoft aren't interested in offering MS Office for Linux. A lot of FOSS projects do make money by offering things like 24/7 support and security updates guaranteed for x amount of time (see Ubuntu Extended Security Maintenance). Also a lot of software is used by big companies that do have an interest in sponsoring the development on something they depend on. Where it be by contributing development time themselves or donating money to the developer fund.

Maybe as Wine advances we'll be able to use more and more commercial Windows software, kind of like what is happening with games. But I'm not holding my breath yet.
That's helpful context. If there's good pro-Linux developers and apps worth buying from, let me know. i.e. on Mac Panic, Pixelmator, BBEdit. Would love a Mail alternative. Thunderbird is...not for me.

I'll take the opportunity to recommend Standard Notes. They have great Linux support, it's basically an Apple Notes replacement with E2EE for $50/year.

Take my money!
So if you have friends who play on PS and friends who play on XBox, is it reasonable to choose one set over the other? Should I buy the same game twice?

Just because unreasonable walls exist else where does not justify unreasonable walls everywhere.
Look for countries where the USD is in a 5y high. Brazil, for instance, was 2.5:1 a few years back... it's now 5.2:1. I imagine one or another G20 country that didn't handle COVID very well can be in a similar situation. This won't last forever, but it will last at least one or two years so it's a good opportunity for you.
To their credit, they own unique tech that makes the chips built on it the most attractive in the market.

Very very few manufacturers are in that position.
I thought the boosters just have mRNA strands like the original mRNA vaccines do? I haven’t heard anything about them using CRISPR or otherwise editing the human genome. Would be neat but it seems like pharma companies charge a million dollars for that kind of treatment.
Theodore Gray has a story about visiting a company with an electron beam furnace with Oliver Sacks to turn a pile of loose iridium beads into a bar: https://theodoregray.com/PeriodicTable/Stories/077.x3/index....

Some of the cost isn't just from using the equipment, but because you'll have some evaporation from melting in vacuum. He says at the start of the article that Sacks started with a kilogram of beads:

>After melting from both sides and a lengthy cool down period (plus a couple of "ouch, where are my gloves" moments) Sacks' iridium was consolidated into a block a little over 2" square and less than 1/2" thick, weighing 1.7 pounds. It's startlingly heavy, distinctly more so than a similar sized tungsten block (which would be about 15% lighter and about 10,000% cheaper).

If true, the melt lost 22.7% of the mass, which is pretty painful. Google is saying iridium is about $167,000 per kilo right now! I assume they've got a cold trap on the vacuum line, and recovered some of the difference in weight as fine iridium dust, but the rest is going to end up coating the inside of the vacuum chamber.

If they routinely melt platinum-group metals, I wonder how often they scrap the entire chamber to melt it down and recover the evaporate.
What is the term for legally pressuring thousands of people out of their marriages by changing the law to make them illegal, null, and void?
Perfect, thank you! Looking it seems they both have a kilo of pure tungsten in cube form measuring 38.1mm^3 or a kilo of tungsten carbide measuring 40mm^3.
Give Fedora Linux a try. It has been my daily workstation professionally and personally since 2007ish. Fedora 34 is pretty fantastic for hitting the ground running after you install.
How long?

I spent 4 months in Vietnam in 2007 in HCMC. Rent was $300/mo for a sweet pad down the street from the Ben Thanh market. Food was $400/mo, and I didn't cook much at all because street food is cheap and delicious.

However, I'm not sure how this would work out long term, like decades. I couldn't commit to living in a country like that full time. The language barrier would be overwhelming, and I did get tired of friends vanishing after just a few weeks. I'm a het-dude, and the local women I dated really wanted families asap and I wasn't ready -- there are a lot of highly successful women there who I got on with w/o much of a culture barrier since they had studied in US/Europe; I wasn't there doing the creepy-US-dude-looking-for-boomboom thing. Not sure I could have made a life for myself there and been happy into old age. I can't imagine what long term healthcare would be like into my 80's as an expat in Vietnam.

I assure you that SPECcpu scores are a lot lower, if that's what you care about. And yes, it's extremely helpful to do major reorganization of loops if the program has multi-dimensional loops in the wrong order.
It's social media, the judging drives clicks.
> the ability to request operations against those relations declaratively

That is true but I think the main significance is not that you can "request operations ... declaratively" but that the results of those operations have the SAME FORM as the thing/relation/table they were performed on.

That is what makes relational algebra as a concept so powerful. It is like numbers. You can perform operations on numbers and you get ... numbers. You can perform operations on tables (a.k.a "relations") and you get ... tables.
> What really annoys me are the ones that interrupt the video.

Especially when those interruptions take two minutes. I don't mind them up to 30 seconds, but their length does get pretty ridiculous from time to time.

There's no medium that's gonna make watch two minutes ad without looking away or trying to skip it. You either sell it quickly or don't.
Fantastic point. Another thing about academic ml models is that they're commonly evaluated on in-sample data. For example, medical AI devices are commonly evaluated on data coming from the same source/hospital that the training data comes from (see https://www-cdn.law.stanford.edu/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/...). This leads to over-confidence in the performance because of overfitting of batch effects.
Yeah, I am not doubting the author at all, but I built a lot of computers for myself and others in the 90s, and maybe I just don't remember, or maybe I always had two cables, one for each drive, but I distinctly remember setting jumpers and it just worked. That said, I was using mostly Linux, sometimes Windows, so maybe this was an OS/2 thing?

Something I do remember though, was having to get the blocks, cylinders, etc... manually when partitioning/formatting disks.

I guess I got lucky with the drives I used, which back then would have mostly been Western Digital with a splash of Seagate, maybe because I didn't typically mix vendors in an initial build I just didn't run into these issues.
There are 190 other countries that applies to so where are they?

I don't share the ego for the US' hegemony or I also don't place importance on the US' soft power. I do care about semiconductors though.

Is there a stronger argument, because I'm still stuck on what specific strategic advantage that Taiwan has to the US, after we duplicate their one interesting company's infrastructure.
Performance aside, using variant has an added benefit of making illegal states unrepresentable. Optionals + an enum still allows users to either nullopt all the members, or have more than one member that is not nullopt.

I'm an expert in English humour. If you say "four candles" in my hearing, I will spontaneously wet myself. It's an unfortunate consequence of being 50 years old and very English.

I've consulted the video referee. We all agree it's a fair riff on the term - "The Queen's English" (formally King) and henceforth it can be safely categorised in section 3.3.2.II.b in the canonical JbMF (Joke book of Monster Fun) version 5 (five.)

Interesting article, but written by Americans it necessarily missed another ancestor of the blue hyperlink, Teletext. Given that Tim Berners-Lee is English, it's relevant.
None of the articles adequately address 'why' Apple is taking this risk, and I haven't seen any plausible explanation from the company. I can't help but want to connect all the noise in the antitrust arena to this development.

Pear (along with pair and pare) rhymes with bear (and bare). Peer rhymes with fear (and beer).

Here's the thing, what do you need a desktop to do? I use Gnome 3 on wayland, and I don't really pay attention to the "Desktop", I do 90% of my work in a web browser and a terminal.

Gnome 3 is perfect for 99% of what I need it to do.

Can't you migrate everything to a cross platform password manager like KeepassXC or Bitwarden? It seems quite clunky that the iCloud Keychain locks you to a particular browser and operating system platform.
I'm honestly not sure, maybe we are really just talking past each other. If there are no unvaccinated people left the relative risk reduction would be zero, that just follows from the definition. The absolute number of hospitalisations would still be meaningful. In the perfect world that everyone was vaccinated you would still see an age dependent decrease of effectiveness over time and relative to alpha. The real data from Israel seems to show that two vaccine doses in a very compliant population are not enough to effectively prevent the number of cases, hospitalisations and deaths to rise without additional other measures (boosters, masks, etc.).
I know it's only a tutorial but recursive function calls are a bad idea for a general purpose JSON parser. At the very least, limit the recursion depth. Otherwise, it's trivial to make the parser crash with a stack overflow.

There is definitely a proprietary desktop software market for Linux.

For your office example, try WPS office. Never used it myself but I heard good things. There are paid text editors like sublime or the stuff that jetbrains is building. There is also lots of Linux desktop software in the SFX industry.
None whatsoever. This doesn't change the end user experience so the end users won't even notice it let alone care.
I think you have a very particular point of view. The vast majority of iPhone buyers haven't given this issue more than 2 seconds of thought. The vast majority will buy the next iPhone (or the one after that). And they'll buy another iPad for their kids. And they'll keep using MacBooks.

What does this have to do with anything? Everyone in the company works on 3 languages. Introducing a new language, with new runtimes and build tools and domain expertise introduces a ton of overhead.

Every tool set has its own set of idiosyncrasies and bugs and general bs that has to be learned. Saying that introducing a new set of tools is cost free is a stupid lie.

I would disagree with this. Many professional athletes love their work, but that doesn't make training, recovery, and competition a walk in the park...professional athletes are the pinnacle of hard work because many of them have to utilize the 24 hours in near perfection to stay at the top.

Also, often the reason that someone enjoys their work is directly because it IS difficult. And the payoff from solving hard problems can be amazing and worth it. Alternatively, people who are pigeon holed into mundane or uninteresting work in their career will find dissatisfaction, even if the tasks are incredibly easy.
The high bit here is that coin mining is not 1 TW; it's 0.012 TW, so the overall effect is almost insignificant. But it's still interesting to know which direction the incentives run.

The cost of fossil-fuel electricity generation is about half capex and half opex (including fuel), and in much of the world, solar is now cheaper than either fossil-fuel capex or fossil-fuel opex. A large part of capex is machinery, much of which is so costly that shipping costs are insignificant, so the costs are the same anywhere in the world.

Bitcoin isn't mined with GPUs, but your comments about intermittency and capital costs apply a fortiori to ASIC mining.
