I thought the idea was that not all processes are the same class of citizen. Some of 'em go to high performance cores, but some of them always get assigned to what's basically a second computer running in parallel and handling interface stuff or system management, typically a lot less powerful (though according to this article, far from helpless).

In this way the CPU-intensive stuff never has to break its concentration by sullying its tiny processors with utility calculations, but keeping the observable system responsive (a much less demanding task) goes to the second, weaker computer, that's running as if nothing else is happening. So neither thing ends up being slow, because neither thing particularly has to be interleaved with the other.

Source: I'm no CPU or SoC designer, but I own a Mac M1 laptop for the purposes of compiling open source plugins to the new machines, so I've done hundreds of XCode compiles on the machine, and lots of housekeeping work in Finder. None of it seems slow, by any metric or perspective.

> Being microsoft, wouldn't be surprised if they started deleting negative feedback.

You know, you're entitled to your opinion. But negative feedback is just as important as positive feedback. Hell, there's probably no team in Windows that's as salty at the rest of the company as the Terminal team :P But I resent the opinion that we'd go out of our way to delete negative feedback. Constructive negative feedback is a real strong indicator that there's more work to be done. And trust me, there's lots of work to still be done.
I get a security warning for bad cert domain when I visit that in Firefox but not in Chrome, odd, probably just a difference in default handling behavior for a particular case.

>If you don't need a display manager, you very well might not need elogind,

Yes, that's how I do it. At boot a service auto-logins on all vts and fires up an X server with my WM. Since I already have to enter a password to decrypt the disk this is OK. After half an hour idle/suspend the screen gets locked, so it's not worse than no auto-login.

Sadly, the documentation and wiki has detoriated in quality the last few years. For example I recently tried to look up how to run Xorg without suid, but the wiki had removed the simpler input-group based method in favor of this elogind stuff, which I consider to be worse than useless. Luckily the talk page pointed me in the right direction (history).

Personally, I put -* in make.conf's USE variable and only enable a few things I really want universally like threads, unicode, etc. Then I use flaggie to enable the flags I need when installing stuff. I check with emerge -a to get a list of everything with the possible flags, then enable/disable as necessary. Takes a bit longer the first time, but prevents stuff like this. Sometimes it can break stuff since that's not a supported configuration and might expose undeclared USE flag dependencies, but it's mostly OK.

Its a complicated topic. At one level the tech is neutral and is just a tool, at another it engenders the worst forms of thought-control and coercion.

It should be fairly obvious that we are heading towards CCP-style social-credit score.

Those of low social credit score will appear as 'red dots' on your map, and interacting with those 'red dots' will lower your social credit score.
Hm, not really.

There are several reasons why you might have involuntarily diluted pupils, e.g. arousal, i.e. triggering a entirely natural response to a stimulus, even if it the stimulus is aehm "imaginary"/a thought (thinking about the sun).

This is called indirect control in the posted article.

Having voluntary control over your pupils is something entirely different, and just because you have dilated your pupils "by accident" doesn't mean your short of controlling them.

I'd say that anything north of the 618 area code would be very midwest, but once you get roughly south of I-70 the vibe is much more southern.

Of course, urban midwest can be very different indeed from rural midwest.
Yeah for me it's more around the ergonomics (and imprecision) about using indexes.

It's a perfectly workable approach, but passing around offsets feels like I'm breaking the contract a bit. The compiler doesn't know which index goes with which data structure, I'm just asking the compiler to trust me that I'm pairing them correctly.

Also it tends to be more boilerplate than just having a direct pointer stored inside the data structure.

Don't get me wrong, I understand all the problems with pointers, but it the UX is better in a lot of cases.
I don’t mind the & being required, I just don’t like the fact that there are 2 syntax options depending on whether & is at the start or not.

I don’t mean original owners, but current owner versus non-owners.

The current owner of the Mina Lisa, or any physical work of art essentially has exclusive viewing privileges if they like. They can choose to hide it away. They can hold it. They could even destroy it if yet wanted to.

You can’t do any of those things with a NFT, so I was wondering if there was actually anything to distinguish an owner from a non-owner apart from classification as “owner” and the right to sell it.
GraphQL at PayPal: An Adoption Story
I suspect it's because frontend web developers are jealous of other people using and interesting variety languages, so they want to incorporate as many features from those other languages as possible in order to feel like they are getting some variety themselves.

I don't blame them. That's exactly how I would feel!

That, or, it's easier to upgrade to a new JS version + let your transpiler figure it out, than to rewrite your code in some other language that compiles to JS.

At large companies, Project Managers and Product Managers are really good at filling up time and creating tasks. They also create processes that slow things down.

> If you just want a system in the Mac Mini (or MacBook) style form factor, it's probably not worth it. There are plenty of x86 based alternatives and even some low cost ARM solutions.

Care to elaborate, or at least some names/models and opinions? I might be in the market for a fanless home server in that form factor. I might end up just buying a Synology but I would like to run HomeAssistant on it as well (although currently it just works fine on a Raspberry Pi4)
It's called "single page application" and my guess is the most reason is "responsiveness" (which is however not true, you can lazy load anything with traditional HTML and a few lines of JS) and "smooth" transitions from one "virtual" page to the other.

Honestly I never understood this trend. From a developer side, the engineering easily costs two times compared to a traditional site.
You have a bus factor of one.

The potential customer is not in your market segment.

In part because you cannot deliver what the potential customer wants. In part because you don't want to change your business in order to deliver it.

So your choice is basically, forego the sale or sell something you can't deliver. Because your product does not meet their requirements.

There are two options. Be honest with the potential customer about your limitations. Or sell them reliability that you cannot reliably deliver.

Ok there is a third option.

There are 168 hours in a week. That's 4.2 FTE's. A Silicon Valley engineer salary of $120k is $10k/month/engineer. 50% overhead makes that $15k/month/engineer. 33% profit makes that $20k/month/engineer.

Doing it right is $88k per month. Or just north of a million dollars a year. If you cover some of the on call, then you can offer a discount down to $1,000,000/year for a year prepaid. Good luck.
They started doing a huge sign on that vests monthly over the first two years. So yes the rsu are still backloaded but they equalize the TC. Like sign on bonus 1-2x the annual base compensation.
I would not, because new things land in most editions, so it’s not like a particular edition refers to a stable subset of the whole language.
allotments are much more intended for hobbyist gardening

That is the intention in Scandinavia as well, and how most people use them. Although it has generally always been acceptable to have a bed and spend the night there. However some people have upgraded their 'shed' to (ab)use them as more permanent living spaces, even if it is generally frowned upon.
If you just want something in that sort of form factor, buy an Intel NUC which will work out of the box with any Linux you throw at it.
the author, thanks to him. has put out a lot of material to gain deep knowledge in javascript. I love js and it has put food on the table. but it's becoming a difficult language to learn / keep up with for people with preference for small languages. yeah ES+ features are beneficial sometimes but adding new syntax just keeps folks on the hamster wheel. python suffers this problem as well, that my pleasure in writing python was in the python 2 days.

I have started migrating from those platforms to ruby / clojure. since things rarely get added to those ecosystems. one can pop in after 20 years and nothing has changed and everything still works as before

> Or what about string theory in physics?

You mean the research area that slowly gained interest, was intensely studied for decades, and now is slowly losing interest as it fails to acquire experimental evidence and the new avenues for research based on it dry up? Are you mad that people spent so much time on it for so long or that they're now moving on to other ideas?

> Even there been Nobel prices for the underlying physics this stuff form the link above goes mostly in the same ballpark as flat-earth stuff.

I am familiar with the works of Hannes Alfven (largely because I once tried to read a library in alphabetical order); I'll grudgingly admit that his ideas could be called "controversial" while also still being "interesting".

I think it's an interesting case-study into whether there is(/was) a problem with controversial theories in astrophysics.

1. Was Alfven "hurt" by his voicing of "controversial" but "legitimate" scientific theories? Did his career suffer?

2. For the theories he put forth that were ultimately accepted by the broader scientific community, what did the trajectory of the acceptance look like? Was it just a matter of "the older generation dying off"? Was their new evidence presented that tipped the scales? Was it the applicability of the theories and methodology to other problems?

3. For the theories he put forth that were ultimately not accepted, can we now fairly discard them as "interesting but wrong?"

Alfven is in the sweet spot of "long enough ago that we should be able to 'score' a lot of his work by now, but not so long ago to be muddied by time". It could be interesting to dig into in depth.

> Actually even in math they have "controversies", not everybody "believes" in the same stuff, for example like constructivism or its opposite.

I'm not going to claim there's never been a fist-fight between a constructionist and a non-constructionist, but the "disagreements" like constructivism are much more along the lines of "I find constructivist proofs and am curious how much of mathematics can be build constructively" versus "turns out the answer is 'not enough' and there are more interesting things to do anyway", not "YOUR METHODOLOGY IS HERETICAL AND YOU MUST BE DRESTROYED".

If I'm a solo developer, then sure, but right now I cannot think of a single non-trivial pro or hobby project that is run completely solo.

Asking contributors to shell out a sizable amount of money before they are able to submit PRs is a deal-breaker. It's just no going to happen no matter how productive those products make me, because next to none of my work and/or hobby code is done with the expectation that other people are not allowed to contribute.
>AMD 5850U beats Apple M1 in multicore performance by 29% having the same power consumption (15 Watt):

The last part is not entirely accurate. They have the same TDP. Not the same power consumption. Because 5850U doesn't use 15W in those test. The same goes to M1 which is closer to 20W Max.

The word TDP means Typical TDP by both Intel and AMD and not what it means in literal sense. That is excluding cTDP and other state like PL2.

Worth mentioning the M1 achieve those single thread performance at no more than 5W, if you put the two on equal footing, even accounting for the possible node improvement, M1 is still quite far ahead in terms of pref / watt. And the 5850 is already on Zen 3.
This is the key passage:

"..This system “uses algorithms to gather aggregate data on physician prescribing practices to identify physicians who demonstrate extreme patterns of prescribing certain highly regulated drugs.” Any physician who gets “flagged” by CVS is then interviewed and investigated.

Did our client undergo an investigation before CVS took action against him?

No.

CVS did not look at medical records or charts, patient pharmacy profiles, or individual patient data. It did not talk to any patients. It did not conduct inspection of our client’s practice. It did not single out any prescription as illicit.

All it did was go by statistical data and a single phone call...."

Antidepressants and the Placebo Effect

Abstract

Antidepressants are supposed to work by fixing a chemical imbalance, specifically, a lack of serotonin in the brain. Indeed, their supposed effectiveness is the primary evidence for the chemical imbalance theory. But analyses of the published data and the unpublished data that were hidden by drug companies reveals that most (if not all) of the benefits are due to the placebo effect. Some antidepressants increase serotonin levels, some decrease it, and some have no effect at all on serotonin. Nevertheless, they all show the same therapeutic benefit. Even the small statistical difference between antidepressants and placebos may be an enhanced placebo effect, due to the fact that most patients and doctors in clinical trials successfully break blind. The serotonin theory is as close as any theory in the history of science to having been proved wrong. Instead of curing depression, popular antidepressants may induce a biological vulnerability making people more likely to become depressed in the future.
>and the fixed rates run out

I think I'm confused. I have zero experience with Germany, so please be graceful with what may be a stupid question.

So you're saying the super low rate is only for a set period of time, and will change at some point in the future, correct? If the rate is set to change at some point, you can't really call it a fixed rate, can you? I thought fixed rate meant that it was just that rate for the life of the loan. Hence, fixed versus variable.

What am I missing?
I also donated to the Livecode open source project. I just had a look at the Kickstarter programme. I tallied up all the contributions of those who received at least a license to the commercial product in the days after the Kickstarter ended.

Of the £493,795 raised, fully £368,285 of that donated was returned as commercial licenses to those who donated.

Those who donated in return for no immediate reward (about 0.2% of the total sum donated) got 8 years of free enhancements to the open source version. And those who have that open source version installed still get to use it ad infinitum (even if they were not contributors to the Kickstarter). There's no need to pay for any license unless features added in future are things they feel meet some need.

I've funded other projects where I never even got a viable product, never mind one that was actively developed for nearly a decade.
The professor could implement these boring lower-level pieces in a library which fires couple callbacks, one on connect/disconnect to provide two descriptors for HID device and their reports, another one for handling the HID report packets.

BTW, USB specifies a small subset of HID interface called “boot interface”. It’s normally consumed by UEFI firmware who needs mouse and keyboard for the setup GUI which runs before OS launches. The subset only supports basic keyboards and mice.

There are so many "plain text" websites that simply do not load without JavaScript. Is this a consequence of using a framework like React? I feel like the world needs a "component-based" framework, but one that can gracefully degrade if JS isn't available.
Yup, fought with NetworkManager (is it part of SystemD? Definitely Red Hat though) and resolvconf (not the resolv.conf file) on that one, and that's only on the terminal. Desktop networking, even on macOS, is a pain unless you somehow use terminal-based NetSh/BIND tools/SystemD/IPTools (or registry and the (GUI) management console/MSC on Windows).
I guess it would depend on the size/scope of the project. I could see it happening, but also could easily see it not being required for most projects.
Negative interest is a return to the origins of banking. You would pay a bank to hold your assets. What you got in return was the convenience of not worrying of getting robbed, or being able to transfer large sums across large distances with bank notes. imho - that was the proper way to think about savings. If bank patrons want to see interest on their savings, they should convert theirs to capital and actually invest it, with all the responsibilities and risks that entails.

Bound checks can be an issue in Rust as well, actually. It's often worthwhile to hoist them manually out of loops, which usually enables the compiler to optimize them out within the loop and even vectorize the resulting code.

(This can't happen automatically because the default semantics generally involve a panic or exception to be triggered when the check fails; there's no way to optimize this further.)
That's not true at all. There's plenty of ARM platforms out there, especially in the Linux world they've been around a long time (does the Raspberry PI ring any bells? Or Nvidia Jetson?
