Well, yes, it's Emacs, we can probably do anything we can imagine, but that's beside the point. This particular behavior is stupidly annoying for both newbies and old-timers.

Even if Emacs works internally with the concept of a "point" that is always set to a position in the visible part of a window, text editors evolved over time to adopt the concept of a "cursor" that always stays in place unless the user moves it. It's about time Emacs adopts the concept too, and sets a well-thought default behavior for it.
Intent is everything. Does that disappointment of not being able to justify shooting dogs extend to disappointment over not shooting a human being for other people working as police?
In all but the <5% of occurrences where there is a hormonal imbalance or other medical issue, obesity is caused by eating too much food for your level of activity, full stop. Eating less and/or moving more will cause the vast, vast majority of obese people to lose weight. To say we don't know the cause of obesity is laughably wrong.

If you mean "food in excess" at the personal, not societal, level, it's a completely accurate statement.
What would you suggest as a better metric?
I mean, it seems trivial to say, but a lot of people who inherit a lot of money start a company. They may even put $1 million in cash into it. At that point they are the sole employee of a million dollar company.

At a more serious implementation of the same idea, I'm willing to bet a lot of solo entrepreneurs with wealthy families are getting a million dollar valuation in the friends and family round
German Scientist didn't believe that a nuclear bomb could be completed in time to make a difference in the war. They estimated that America would complete their bomb first, only after 1944 and that if Germany hadn't won the war by 1944, victory would be impossible.

And they were right, America didn't complete their bomb until 1945, and by that point it was too late to make any impact in the outcome of the war (other than forcing Japan to surrender).

So they decided to focus resources elsewhere. The amount of resources spent on the German Nuclear reactor program was actually quite small.

I'm guessing insurance payouts would involve lots of lawyers and lots of time.

Those sales don't strike me as especially bargain basement either. 2BR, 1500 sq ft for about $1.5m. Maybe without the issues, as a premium property, it would be higher but those prices don't seem out of line with condos on the market.
I continue to be skeptical of all the "boots on Apple M1" efforts. Ultimately, I don't expect them to get much further than the "proof-of-concept" phase, as far as usability goes.

Apple's chips are SoCs, and as such are extremely complicated systems. There are tons of parameters to make it work efficiently that either need to be carefully reverse-engineered, or out-of-reach entirely. Apple not only won't be any help, but will be actively hindering these efforts.

For example, is anyone dealing with the performance modes of the chip, tuning them for performance-vs-dissipation? What about the DRAM interface?

Alyssa Rosenzweigs effort on reverse-engineering the GPU is impressive and laudable, but it's just one component of the dozens or so IP blocks in the chip, each of which require that level of work.

Being able to boot your OS on the CPU is like landing on the beaches of Brittania and calling it conquered. (I couldn't come up with a better analogy)

I understand the appeal of the technical challenge, and that's awesome! But people should lower their expectations if they ever expect to run an open OS with the full power (or even significant fraction) of the hardware.

Having used Windows 95 back in the day, I am deeply impressed someone managed to keep it from crashing for so long.

I have seen a Windows NT 4.0 system with an uptime of more than five years, but with Windows 95, even a whole day of uptime was pretty close to a miracle.
Something that later turns out to be true can still be a baseless conspiracy theory if the people that believe it do so for the wrong reasons.
The problem with trials registries is that they're only one piece of the solution, but many more things need to work for them to be effective.

Many trials are registered, required by law to be published, but still not published, because there is no enforcement: https://fdaaa.trialstracker.net/ https://eu.trialstracker.net/

Or trials alre registered, but then published with a different main result than the one that was registered as the main result (so-called outcome switching). This should be noted in peer review, but often it's not. And if you point it out to the journal later they should publish a correction, but they don't.
Thank you and appreciate the layer listing - most elegantly done.
But that situation is no different than cable internet. You have a shared access medium that has a bandwidth limit. They constantly oversell the bandwidth because normal consumer behavior is bursty enough that they can mostly get away with it and have few issues.
I’m not 100% sure it answers your question about the antenna, but FTA: “Some people are asking themselves where the antenna is. We are using a chip antenna - It is the blue component in the corner!”
I enjoyed the light amount of automation I was able to achieve, since my air conditioner is IR controlled I placed a switchbot (which can shoot out IR blaster signals via the web) on the table next to it and configured Apple Home to prompt me to turn off the AC with one tap whenever I leave home (my apartment has crappy insulation, I’m a renter, I’m not gonna fix it) - with that I never forget to turn it off anymore and Switchbot happily has no permissions to bother me since it’s going through Apple, seems like a good setup.

It tends to be cheap where there's no grocery stores, no jobs, etc. If you have to drive a long way for everything you need, it's not a cheap lifestyle, even if your rent is relatively low.

Nationwide walkable housing would, in fact, fix it for some people, in part by bringing down the cost of housing and transit to a level they could reach.
XSLT is great when you try to do simple things.

Then you try to e.g. format a date or something.

As long as you stick to what it is good at and relegate everything else to another layer, it's fine (it could certainly be a lot better, though)
>A country with stone-age technology is not going to be enriching nuclear fuel.

Iran has about 80M innocent civilians living there. Even if you think of the leadership as holding them hostage (not too far from the truth for many countries...), that's a lot of hostages to sacrifice.
You can also see a Tu-144 in Zhukovsky, a city about an hour by train from Moscow. [1] A lot of Soviet aviation development happened there.

Modern car design.

Cars are designed to absorb energy during a major impact. They do this by folding in places that preserve the integrity of the passenger compartment. As a result, minor impacts result in the total loss of the vehicle.
As far as I can tell, that's about right. But to be clear, that says nothing about whether the police shootings are justifiable or not.

It could be that, in many of those incidents, lethal force prevented the deaths of other people. But I don't have numbers to say one way or another.

Mostly text based mathematical analysis. I couldn't stick to Swift as it would rule out a large section of the potential audience (Linux / Win - although Kotlin, which is similar enough, could bridge the gap to some degree), so I'm going more down the Web App route. For now, most of my I/O is in Emacs and later I may plan to work on the GUI side (via Electron or Web App, maybe but very unlikely CAPI or some CFFI).

How about yourself? Do you still do programming in AI?
Correct. Add to this that in the USSR civil and military uses were much closer related than in the west, for an example, see my previous comment: the engine of the Tu-160 bomber was later fitted to the experimental Tu-144LL. see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuznetsov_NK-32

I am not quite convinced about the test limitations for the Polyus station; I mean according to Anton Chechov, that (laser) gun in the picture would have to shoot, at some point. Maybe that would have resulted in much earlier conflict between the political leadership and the military industrial complex, who knows. They mentioned that that they had the Buran launcher fuelled up and ready for launch, while attempts were ongoing to push the decission for the test launch through, I mean that sounds like of lots of politics was going on behind the scene, assuming that this exercise would have a significant risk and cost a non trivial amount of money.

Fire stick is probably not any better than using the apps on TV. I bought a used Mac mini, and connected it to my “dumb” TV via HDMI. I have a wireless keyboard and mouse for my TV. Netflix, YouTube, and anything available on a web browser is now available on my TV. In addition, I can use AirPlay to stream photos or music from my iPhone. This setup has been lovely.
The entire app store is full of stuff like this. I wanted an app that would do a better job of making flat perspective images than the built in editing features of iOS Photos. Every one of them wanted an in app subscription of $60-$200 a year.

Wanted a leveling app (use your phone to check if something is level). Tons come up, all of them "pay us $60 a year to unlock this app".

Same with dB meters

I don't so much mind that these apps exist but I do mind that the App store for whatever reason, being hacked, gamed, etc, surfaces the scammy stuff to the top.

Came here to say this too. Pieter Levels, (@levelsio) from NomadList / RemoteOk, he's over $1m now i think and pushing towards $3m. In all his interviews, he points out that although this is revenue, he saves/profits 90%+ of this figure because his costs are extremely low, just hosting and some APIs i think.

Is this paper exclusive to a certain website? I've had discussions with people of various political persuasions that are downright hostile on this website. If people on this website with engagement mostly removed can't control themselves, who can?

I've looked through some of these people's profiles before and I've been shocked to find that in non-political discussions they're pretty normal. They're not trolls per se, unless you threaten (using this loosely, such as believing in or having experiences counter to) something core to their identity or way of life.

My takeaway, thus far, has been that without you being physically sat in front of someone they can't observe how something so close and dear to them could possibly hurt someone. They can't imagine that something that seems "righteous" could alienate people or the wrong people if their purpose was to alienate. They only see that through the various signals we can't capture in a DOM or across HTTP.
No, it's not about Xinuos's code (if any). It's about rights to the property that they bought from SCO. That purchase lets Xinuos say "our", even though it's not theirs by authorship.
As far as I know - which isn't very far! - Microsoft started to support SCO only after they had dragged IBM to court.

SCO had pretty much bet the future of the company on their and IBM's joint Itanium Unix, and when IBM pulled out of the project, SCO was rather screwed[0]. Suing IBM for breach of contract was a sensible decision, as far as I can tell.

[0] Considering what a phenomenal failure Itanium became, I suspect they were screwed either way.

I’m an engineer at Amazon. Your post is misguided and incorrect.

This website staying online is a miss on Amazon’s part. I don’t work on whichever service was specifically used to host this content and don’t know about what specific mechanisms they have to discover and take down illegal content.

This was obviously a miss. Amazon should and has to do better. There’s no question about that.

By the way, no one colluded to ban Parler. I don’t speak in behalf of Amazon, but the content on Parler, where people were calling for assassination of American government officials, had full visibility. It wasn’t obscure or unknown to Amazon. It was a high traffic, well known app. That issue was very visible and corrective action was quickly taken.

Unfortunately, this issue wasn’t so visible. Once it was identified, corrective action was taken.

And your accusations of being “okay with terror organizations” is wrong.

For full disclosure: I’m not speaking on behalf of the company, and I see you have political grievances with Amazon. But to turn that into Amazon or it’s employees being okay with hosting terrorist content is so absurd, it’s not really even worth responding too.
Because the parent commenter said Samsung Smart TVs are so garbage that even their own employees don’t prefer to buy it. Hence my comment that you can always buy a smart TV and use it as a dumb one by never allowing it to connect to the internet.
> Theranos had just a couple of experienced VC investors and only two board members with medical experience (albeit not in phlebotomy).

Phlebotomy is the process of drawing blood, in general medicine typically more like giving lots of or exchanging blood rather than a pin prick or even filling a couple vials for lab work. I worked with an office that was very clear they drew blood for lab work but would not do phlebotomy, I had to have the difference explained to me.

Shouldn’t Axois have specified anyone with hematology, immunology, or serology experience/education?

I don’t think they they SHOULD have had a phlebotomist on their board. That no one had drawn blood before; was the least of Theranos’s problems.

You would probably need a wrapper script to do this. The script could periodically clear the screen and call "barchart" with the new input data, re-rendering the chart from scratch.

Parking minimums and street width minimums are a huge issue. They are an active barrier to building an old fashioned, walkable, mixed use downtown and actively undermine the health of such places that still do exist in some areas.

There's lots of literature on that fact.

Set backs and other zoning changes also mean you often cannot build townhomes right up to the lot line, even if older townhomes right up against the lot line dominate the street in question. They are grandfathered in and don't have to be torn down, but you can't build more like it. This typically makes such homes highly prized and expensive and out of the reach of most people.
If you can afford $500k in cash, you can afford to have fiber run to you.

> It's literally on the first page of the docs. I don't see what is so hard about this.

That is literally the problem. The WHOLE POINT of Ansible is to make things easier. With my bash scripts I don't have to read documentation, so Ansible should beat that, by perhaps making it easier to write the scripts, but HELL NO not by making me have to read documentation. At worst it should be smack dab on the front of the website (like Chrome); at best it should be apt-get/yum/brew install <the obvious name of your product>.

Asking me to Google for and dig through docs is a massive product management fail.

> These young folk want it all point and click, apt-get, spotify me.

Yes, I do. It's because young people wanted to fly and not be stuck on horses that we have planes today. It's because young people wanted to get to the moon that we have so much space tech today. This is 2021, and I want level 5 autonomous software. We're trying to build level 5 autonomus cars, which I don't think we'll get to (we'll get to level 4), but I think a computer should be able to solve dependencies, search for include dirs, and figure out how to run an arbitrary piece of software by now. I think level 5 software installation on vanilla installs of the ten most popular OSes is very achievable.

> expecting a huge single button install of a configuration management framework

Yes, or zero-button. This is 2021, not 1980. Hell, when I had my first computer in the mid 1990s I had single button installs other than having to swap floppies, and any MORE buttons than that is a step backward.

> Ever consider you'd have to build a custom image (whether EC2 or docker or whatever) to support your specific environment?

The computer should be able to figure that out by now. I'm serious. This is 2021 and I have 100 teraflops of compute, 32GB of GPU RAM, 64GB of DDR4 RAM, 1.4 Gbps uplink to the wealth of knowledge on the internet, don't tell me this isn't possible for an advanced installation system to figure out how to fetch and run some software and automatically deal with 95% of the errors that come up in the process.
I do too. I bought a used Mac Mini online (any computer with a HDMI port will suffice). You get your browser on Tv. Hook up a wireless keyboard and mouse to your computer, and you can have your privacy friendly Internet TV experience.

This wasn’t a limitation anyone ran into in the real world. I was lucky to get the original windows 95 to run for a day, let alone 49. Windows 95 OSR2 on the other hand was very stable. My most stable desktop from that era (late 90’s / early 00’s) was a debian stable build, the uptime at one point was over two years.
The day I decide where to live based on nearest Starbucks, please, just shoot me.
Microsoft used to release a "checked" build for each version of Windows on MSDN/Visual Studio Subscription downloads. [1] This was a build with the same compiler optimization settings as the release build, but with debug-build-only assertions and checks included. In the checked build kernel, the system uptime had 49 days artificially added to it [2], precisely to help developers find out problems like this.

At one point when I was on the Windows team at Microsoft, there was an internal push for us to selfhost (dogfood) checked builds of Windows, since they theoretically provided better bug telemetry than "free" builds (release builds, which are free of debug-only code). "Slows your dev box down by just half!" was the basic pitch of that campaign in a nutshell.

[1] I don't know if this was ever done for Windows 95. It was done for Windows XP up to Windows 10 version 1511, but it appears to have stopped since then, at least according to my quick search.

Accountability by definition requires proper accounting practices. There should be level-headed discussions, legal actions, and punishment proportional to the wrongdoing.

Taking damage from public outrage is being lynched, coerced, blackmailed, retaliated, scapegoated, it is being anything but held accountable.

The author is talking about having power to discriminate anyone's business via private corporate decision. It seems OK in the context of sex trafficking/CP because we know those are bad things, but the power is not limited to any of that, and that is unaccountability.
