Okay, but how do you reconcile that with the fact that hate speech and propaganda has been a part of almost all atrocities ever done in the past?

Or put some other way, how do you reconcile that your freedom can be affected by someone's else's freedom? Like what if I use my freedom to turn others against you and have them hate you and berate you and bully you and ridicule you and refute you, and potentially have them vote for laws that take actions against you, or possibly have them commit hateful acts towards you, etc.

> Do you encourage 100% code coverage? Because I think that 100% code coverage is insane... [ed. note, wow you added a lot as I was typing out my response to this]

Not as a hard and fast rule, but as a target to aim for. If you're finding bugs in code that isn't covered by tests, I'd take that as evidence that your coverage isn't sufficient. I do a lot of my work in strongly typed languages; believe me when I say that code without type errors or variable misspellings can still be chockablock with bugs.

In some codebases, 100% test coverage is equivalent to solving the Halting Problem. Don't sweat it.
1. Ohm's Law is taught the first day of 4 years of an EE degree. Ohm's Law should be part of your soul, not something a cheat sheet is needed for.

2. The 3 versions of the formula are obvious to anyone who remembers high school freshman math. It's barely even algebra.

Carrying that cheat sheet signals you know neither electronics nor the most basic algebra.

Maxwell's Equations, however, get introduced in 2nd or 3rd year in college. You'll need a year (probably two) of calculus to even understand the notation. The equations unify the theories of electric fields and magnetic fields.

Only people who have studied Maxwell's Equations will even recognize them, so by putting them on a t-shirt you're signalling that you are an educated EE to other educated EEs. Other people won't even know what they are.

After a few hundred years of race/gender based policies working in favor of whites/males, I don't know what else we would expect from a deliberate effort to reverse it. You can't expect to play a game, give one team an advantage for the first half, give neither team an advantage in the second half, and call it a fair game at the end. Yeah, it sucks for individuals in the meantime, but we were simply never going to achieve an equal opportunity society without taking from the group who was unfairly advantaged.

If it stays this way for an extended period of time, then yeah, we will end up creating the inverse problem, but for now I don't know what else anyone expected. We just need to keep an eye on it, use science, don't hide any data, and have a well informed plan on how to ease back affirmative action as we determine that we have succeeded in undoing centuries of unfairness.

This might be very anecdotal, but in my case, outside of tech/programming topics, I feel like google results are getting more and more generic. For example, a while back I had some changes in my life and had to fill lots of paperwork. I had various administrative issues regarding 2/3 specific forms. When I searched for people that ran into these issues, I found many helpful link/forums etc... Fast forward these past few months, had to fill the same forms and ran into some of the same issues. But now and all I am finding is stuff like links to the forms, links to the administration websites, links to how to fill the form and so on. Maybe it is a SEO issue, but overall I feel like I am struggling more and more to get useful search results to very specific questions. But then again, sample size of 1.
In The Pipeline: Awful Trials, with Awful Results
Sorry, but "all else equal" doesn't, and can never, exist. Any way to expand M2 itself changes the velocity of money, inflation expectations, and (probably most importantly) the expected future value of the US economy.

Your claim was:

> It's a drop relative to what it would be if the money supply had not increased accordingly

If the money supply hadn't increased, those secondary effects would not have happened, so any idea that M2 maps linearly to inflation net unrelated climate effects is just incorrect. If you still believe it's true after that explanation, please back the claim with some actual information.
OpenSSL is not great about compatibility. If you link to it dynamically, there is a good chance users have to recompile when it is updated which in practice means they'll need to update.

It means I won't be intimidated by my partner's credentials or success. "Over-educated" is not a thing.

If men were free to chase whatever professional growth they wanted and women just had to stuff it because they would be avoided by men if they were "over-qualified" according to you, then that's a dynamic I cannot wait to see completely obliterated. I'm not saying only one partner being a provider or sole breadwinner is a bad thing, but it absolutely does not need to be the only role possible. These men you and GP talk about need to figure out what else they can bring to the table in a relationship, because the ability to put food on the table is hardly the only "desirable" thing people see in a partner, and it doesn't seem like a great thing to tie your self-worth to.
What fraction of customers is affected by the issue?

That's always the first question I ask myself when I get a bug report. I can't fix every bug / annoyance. My software is already way more complex than I can handle, so I have to prioritize which bugs I fix. If the bug only occurs in a special setting and only happens for one customer that isn't important, then I probably won't fix it. I'll just say, sorry that my product doesn't work for you.

Now that customer will be annoyed, because my product was a good fit except for this one issue.

But if the product was open source, then they can fix the blocking issue themselves! I see this as a win/win situation.

Yes, but their claim is specifically about (quoting my other comment):

> It appears to describe a data-oriented component entity system in which all data types within a component are assigned to chunks (batches) in such a way that they can be optimally grouped with data from components of other entities for optimal memory access.

This is not new either. I and others have done this for years. The term "archetype" is something they made up to describe something that has been done many time before.

Edit: It appears that the term "archetype" was introduced somewhere in the last few years. Not sure then if it is specifically coming from Unity.
YouTube, as well as other major Internet companies, have a near-monopoly over their sectors which leaves them lacking any competitive drive to be better, do better, or for people to go elsewhere.

Without realistic alternatives it is spontaneous (even if erroneous) to think about the implication of private infrastructure over public rights. But the real matter is an issue of scale.

I am convinced that sooner or later governments will wake up and that the tech giants will be broken up or severely limited: the European GDPR and the Chinese crackdown on the sector are only the first signs.

Where does the patentability filter fail? By "clearing the bar of novelty beyond prior art" I am referring to both novelty and non-obviousness.

You seem to be implying, by referencing what I can only assume is the Alice Corp case, is that the patent is too abstract. I don't think that's the case. The patent describes a very specific technique for memory management and archetype based inheritance.

I think the technique would be patentable were it an inventive step above the prior art, but it's not novel enough, IMHO, IANAL, BBQ.

Show HN: Spice.ai – open-source, time series AI for developers
Pre-covid (but not by much), I saw a fast-food worker rage-quit. She yelled something about being sick of the nonsense, and walked out with a bag (20 pounds, maybe?) of frozen french fries. Someone yelled after her that she needed to clock out, so she walked back in, clocked out, grabbed two more bags of frozen french fries, and walked out. I was kind of surprised, not so much by the rage quitting, but by the brazenness of the theft on the way out.
There seem to be two things happening.

When a user reports a post it is (unsurprisingly) forwarded to the moderators.

Additionally, there is some kind of AI CSAM detector, which automatically forwards posts.

In both cases, it also forwards the previous five messages from the thread to the moderators.

Australia’s Exporters Continue to Face Increased Shipping Delays and Costs
Let's say that all Banana growers were shut down for 8 months and during that time all existing supply was bought up that were sitting on store shelves.

-- But chip manufacturers didn't shut down. That's even close to the immediate cause, which was that the anticipation of changed future demand on the part of other manufacturers lead to them decreasing and change future orders. If you're going to ELI5("explain this to me like a five year old"), at least give some reasonably analogous situation, jeesh.

I mean, I think people understand that supply takes some time to catch up with demand when you have a complex, interdependent economy. But the adjustment to this shock has taken longer than seems reasonable or seems like happened in the past so more data than X has to adjust for Y which has to adjust for Z is appropriate.
I'm just pointing out your statement "every profit-maximising firm will always use the cheapest energy available" is not true or practically feasible.

This is from Perl S. Buck's interview with Compton. That's second-hand reporting from a non-scientist.

In your source, two sentences after the "less than 1 in 3 million" line, is:

> Dudley’s article provoked an exchange of letters in Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists and a response from Bethe, who said that Buck had “completely misunderstood” Compton and that there was “no chance whatever” that an atomic blast would “ignite the atmosphere.”

and ends with:

> Fear of atmospheric and oceanic ignition is a nightmare with "no relation to reality," he wrote.

Still, let's look at the stated facts.

Here's a copy of Buck's publication - http://large.stanford.edu/courses/2015/ph241/chung1/docs/buc... .

It says the 1 in 3 million calculation was done two years before the test.

Teller and Konopinski's report "Ignition of the Atmosphere With Nuclear Bombs" study, which concluded there was zero possibility, was written "before the first nuclear test at Alamogordo" - http://large.stanford.edu/courses/2015/ph241/chung1/ . Again, this report gives multiple reasons why an atmosphere chain reaction could not happen.

Based on the documents you've identified, it appears there was an early estimate that there might be a problem, but it was low enough for the project to continue. Later, a more detailed analysis shows there was no risk, and the tests occurred.

Recall that pfdietz's comment earlier was "They did calculations showing it was impossible. They would not have done the test if there was any chance that could have happened.".

You strongly asserted this was incorrect, and pointed to document in support of your view.

However, as I've pointed out, the documents appear to strongly support pfdietz's interpretation.

I want to know which involved scientist considered it a non-zero possibility in the last month or so before the Trinity test, after the Teller and Konopinski report had been circulated.

So far you haven't shown any. Conant wasn't involved in the science. Compton certainly was, but the evidence you've presented was from two years previous.

You can't disprove that some of those dead researchers were worried that setting off the bomb would wake dormant kaiju from the seabed. ;)

Question not related to the article:

does anybody have hints or a link to some page explaining how to set up Linux so that it uses swap reaaally only if there is almost no free RAM available?

I have a few private servers & VMs, all having swap enabled, and all start using swap if I do a lot of I/O even if I have e.g. more than 20GBs free out of 36 being available. Usually swap is not being used just after having booted the server or VM, but after a few hours or days of doing reads & writes to disk the kernel will start writing stuff to swap - it's very little (few KBs being written every few seconds), but that accumulates and after a few days I end up having GBs of swap used.

On one hand I just personally hate seeing that happening, on the other hand some of my workloads are irregular so when the workload changes the swap is emptied (at least partially) and the whole thing starts over again.

So far I played with the values of "/proc/sys/vm/swappiness" (tried to set there 0, 1, 60, 100) and "/proc/sys/vm/vfs_cache_pressure" (tried to set there 50, 100, 200), but when doing a lot of I/O the OS always ended up using swap.

I would like to have swap available/enabled to cover potential extreme cases without having the programs crash (e.g. I might set memory limits of SW that might rarely run concurrently too high, or some database might suddenly allocate more than expected, etc...) => seeing that swap is being/was used would tell me that something is NOK in relation to the total RAM being used by my SW.. .
