I have been skipping GYM because of Covid.

But I do go running in the park and follow a few HIIT youtube workout. There are a lot of those in youtube. Just find the one with intensity and length you like and follow them and advance to next level in your own place.
I think you misunderstand, it's where the attack comes from, not goes to. Unless Australia goes to war with Antarctica, every possible attack on Australia would be sailing approximately south towards it from a more northerly position. If you want to stop Chinese ships from sailing into Sydney, you must engage them north of Sydney, ideally a lot further north.
Grew up in China, the first Linux distro, in fact non-Windows OS was Red Bar Linux 6.3 (I form of CDs sold in those pirated software shops, never saw Linux on floppy), no one else around me use anything other than Windows (99.99% pirated). It opened up a door for me, later on I bought Mandrake Linux 8.1 (with Chinese input method and fonts - displaying CJK was pain back then).

Fedora Core 1 was my main desktop and the (Distro Hopping & learning) journey continues, and picking up the skill tree around Linux brought me where I am today ;-)

Note: Tried Slackware 10, like its KISS and BSD style rc but it wasn't liveable for me back then. Stuck with Fedore (Core) for very long until Ubuntu 6.06 (Canonical post CDs) and later tried Arch Linux (very close to Slackware before the systemd migration...).

Sure. Rich is anyone who has wealth in excess of 10M. A "fair share" to start with would be at minimum a 1% wealth tax.

Income tax is fairly worthless when it comes to the actually rich.
Not so. Most Clojure code doesn't access Java at all. So long as you can read a stacktrace that's all the Java you need.
The source of how i found it ( dutch): https://tweakers.net/nieuws/186942/telenet-test-inzet-60ghz-...

You should check about where it came from. It's a spinoff from Imec. Which is one of the most unknown R&D companies in the semiconductor area for the public ( Eg. ASML is similar, but ASML is a for-profit)
TheDispatch.com if you aren't already reading it.

I agree with other posters that it is better to read news after it is no longer new. We should wait a few days to judge things so they have had a chance to settle in.
I splashed out on a Nascom 2. I wish I had a keyboard as good as the one it came with now.

Had a bit of a fright after I finished soldering everything and switched it on. Nothing happened! So I laboriously went over all 1200 (?) solder joints again and breathed a sigh of relief when it worked.

I bought an old 5 bit code teleprinter and wrote a driver so that I could print by connecting the UART to a couple of transistors driving a mercury wetted relay to drive the printer. I think it would be a lot more complicated to do that on any modern computer.
The app in question ("Navalny app") has a blog and voting recommendations. You can distribute information with app updates or use push notifications to transmit data (for example, new API server IP address and public key).

For example, when government tried to block Telegram, it used push notifications to send addresses of new (not yet blocked) servers to the app (of course, you can send different addresses to different devices). It helped Telegram to evade blocking and it worked.

As I understand, you cannot do it with PWA, especially if the browser doesn't encrypt DNS requests.

So with native apps the only way to block them is either block App Store completely or push on Apple to remove the app.

If the browser supports encrypted DNS and hiding SNI (which needs TLS >= 1.3) then there are chances to evade blocking with PWA. But as I understand, Safari doesn't use encrypted DNS by default (I wonder why).

Especially nowadays, when opinions hostile to China are bipartisan, it's important to see how they treat these topics from the other side

My experience is similar. It's a fantastic product, with less-than-stellar reliability.
Yeah. The problem with them is that using double-double based methods gives you 104 bits of precision that works with vectorization (and therefore is faster than x87).
I'm all for supporting larger fonts but it should be a completely separate item from resolution. MacOS is excellent at this. Windows is getting pretty good, but it's a bit janky using 2 different dpi screens. Haven't tried in Linux for a while.

I tried fibonacci test. It was also 43M. But fib(40) was 20 times faster than in Clisp. Something was compiled indeed. Who cares about the program size nowadays.
I think being in control of your device's update cycle is pretty important if you're relying on that device for anything. I want to be able to leave my home-automation controller alone for years without maintenance, and no matter how good their release cycle management is this fighting over distro packaging is a bit of a red flag.
You only need enough Java to read the stacktraces and that's being worked on by the Clojure core team.
This solution isn't great, there is direct support for the V4L2 codec API inside ffmpeg. So vaapi is not useful in this case.
It's one of those "how important is the title" things. According to an article in the workplace magazine at a (now very) former workplace, to celebrate the honours doctorate of Princess Christina, her full title (with doctorate) would be "Princess Christina, Dr Mrs Magnusson".

The explanation given is that the princesshood attached to her, personally. I suspect it is the same with a knighthood.
And the "dr" comes before the "mrs", as it is more prestigious.

But, as with many things, don't think TOO hard about it.

Coincidentally, within the original 1880 study [0] that first grappled with the phenomena it was most highly-correlated with scientists. He concludes that: "scientific men as a class have feeble powers of visual representation... My own conclusion is, that an over-readiness to perceive clear mental pictures is antagonistic to the acquirement of habits of highly generalised and abstract thought."

I see, my bad. I guess I was a bit hasty since the metrics kind of bothered me.

Still, regarding the other point. Any thoughts on that? We've been monitoring performance of various CDNs ourselves, mainly to improve our own performance through our own RUM metrics as well as platforms such Citrix and PerfOps, and while CloudFlare is definitely one of the fastest, it's definitely not the fastest as per your results. For example CacheFly and Limelight seem to be excelling in the US way ahead of others.

Limelight being a multi-hundred million dollar revenue CDN was somehow excluded entirely.
This notion is a meme for good reason.

The difference is that they are very reasonably up-front about "first X GB at 4G speeds" where the PTO thing is going to have a shrowd of mysteries and unwritten limits.

This is why I hate if my phone decides I need to use my PIN to unlock it while I'm out. It's too easy to watch the PIN being entered. No one even has to be looking over my shoulder, it could be captured by a security camera.
It's actually much more complex than a post on hacker news could summarise here, but I will say AltaVista tried to compete with Yahoo and add features rather than compete with Google.

If you think Google was a fast follower you are incorrect. There are patterns to how these types of company crop up and they are about revolutions in how a field is done rather than "copy AltaVista" and see if you can catch them. Nobody succeeds at copying a company that has a genuine mission to accomplish.

I'm not saying it's impossible to build a company that happens to do the same thing as say Substack but you have to build it for the correct reasons and fast followers are generally always compromised in some way.

Your glib suggestion that Google, a once per decade company, is a follower of AltaVista really doesn't do any of what Google accomplished justice.
It mattered to us. Our team owned over 50 microservices that all had to have their pom.xml files updated.

But it was worth it. Got us access to the java flight recorder which is an awesome debugging tool.
Forced updates that can be delayed but not disabled.
Thank you. That's got some much better photos. I have to say, I wasn't that convinced by the one used in the Smithsonian article.
disagree, its very useful for individual projects where lots of exploration and bouncing around can happen
Seriously. It's like you're constantly looking for logical reasons why something will fail. Gotta figure out how to stop it.
I mentioned it because a lot of people do. Personally it does not affect me.
I like the Economist. They don’t do breaking news, only a weekly roundup of the most important stuff. Often they’ll analyse broader trends that are missed by newspapers focussing on the latest breaking story.

For example, here's an article from 2011, titled "Print me a Stradivarius" (http://www.economist.com/node/18114327). If you were already familiar with 3D printing, the article might have struck you as elementary. But the vast majority of people don't work in tech, especially not in hardware tech. Such people almost certainly would not have heard of 3D printing in 2011, and learning about this would have been very valuable.

I trust them because they pass the Gel-Mann test. I’ve never seen them print something wrong about an area I know about, which is technology. Not saying they’re infallible, but they pass the test to the best of my knowledge.

They’re also careful to not assume expertise in any of the fields they cover. There might be an article about income/wealth inequality but they’ll only use Gini coefficient after explaining what it is.

But the reason I’m really fond of them is the obituaries section. Most times it’s someone you’ve never heard about but after you read it you’re glad you read it.

Could it be tsx-11.mit.edu?

There's a (partial) mirror of that FTP site in 1996 here: https://www.ibiblio.org/pub/historic-linux/ftp-archives/tsx-...

As for SunSite, ibiblio also hosts https://www.ibiblio.org/pub/historic-linux/ftp-archives/suns...
although I think that was a more popular name? A floppy distribution of Linux that I used around 2000 was hosted on sunsite.dk https://web.archive.org/web/20010127161100/http://sunsite.dk...

Update:
WOW! I didn't know that Wine developement was already active in 1994! Somehow I had assumed it had started after Windows 95, however I just stumbled on this FAQ from 1994, mindblowing: http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/historic-linux/ftp-archives/sunsi...
>Put another way: while culture is obviously an important factor - that culture is driven by gun availability.

I think that's incorrect. You really need to do experiments to get at this sort of causal story, though econometricians think they can sneak their way around said experiments. It's definitely a feedback loop and the availability of guns seems like a very, very small part of what goes into a "culture".

Anyway, what I really came here to say is I think you misinterpreted my comment: I didn't mean japanese people don't really care about gun murders, I meant all of us shouldn't really care about gun murders. From a public policy perspective, the thing we care about is just plain old murders--with what tools people decide to commit them is irrelevant. The relevant counterfactual you need to consider is, "If Japan had more liberal gun laws, would the murder rate go up?" if the claim you're interested in is "Do gun laws influence the murder rate?", NOT "If Japan had more liberal gun laws, would the gun murder rate go up?". It seems likely that the gun murder rate would go up to me, but who cares? What if the overall murder rate went down? What we really care about is the # of people murdered.

One thing for old-school performance comparers to remember here is that WASM is very significantly cheaper than JavaScript to parse and compile.

On an arbitrary fairly weak phone, 15MB of WASM might take two seconds to compile, but it can do that while downloading, so that in practice your network link will probably be the limiting factor. So the transfer size is typically the figure to care about and the uncompressed size actually doesn’t matter all that much.

15MB of JavaScript on that same device might take ten seconds or even more to compile, and it largely can’t even start until it’s finished downloading it. Consequently, you need to care about both the transfer size and the uncompressed size, in different ways.

(My figures are super dodgy as I can’t find any recent concrete figures, but they should be in vaguely the right ballpark.)

This is all about comparing just the cost to the CPU; data transfer costs money too and takes time, and several megabytes transferred is inconvenient to many for reasons of cost or time, and decidedly wasteful.

Multiple megabytes even of WASM is still madness and folly for simple stuff like this, severely restricting its potential usefulness. Thank you for deciding not to ship something like that yourself.
A cross-platform, native program would have easily cost us an extra 2000 working hours, and the gains would have been minimal. However, Expressive Animator is a free and open-source program, and you can always contribute, either with code or with money. Cheers!
On the injury topic, I used to pull muscles all the time. I would probably pull a muscle every 3-4 months that would sideline me for a month or two. This seemed to stop when I started doing yoga once or twice a week. I don't do it as much as I should anymore, but if you're getting injured lifting weights, I highly, HIGHLY suggest you give yoga a try.
Using graphic cards to mine bitcoin became unprofitable about 10 years ago. The graphic card shortage can be linked to other cryptocurrencies.

Might be a naive question, but can't you just disable GC while missiles are in the air? Defer it until there are no immediate threats, and then let it catch up, even if it takes a couple of seconds?

I can't imagine a scenario in which an enemy would be able to saturate the defense system with a continuous onslaught that would make the system run out of memory. You'll sooner run out of SAMs and ammo for that fancy gun that's used to shoot down missiles at close range. And if the enemy can mount such an onslaught, then the ultimate GC will soon run anyway - all memory will be released when the ship sinks.

(I think back to that famous story of a missile with a memory leak, whose designers figured the missile will hit its target or run out of fuel faster than it'll run out of memory.)
The quality of the JVM GC is impressive to me as a .NET developer. I would love to have reliable sub-ms pauses in my apps. I am working on one right now where even small pauses >1ms are potentially detectable by the user.
The U.S doesn't just threaten, they imprison innocent protesters and even grandmas from Jan 6 peaceful protests, while vandals from BLM protests which caused real damage to businesses walk free.

From the outside, U.S looks just as bad if not worse than Russia right now. Your media and democratic party is getting on par with authoritarian regimes and I'd argue its even worse because naive uninformed people still think they live in a free democracy.
I addition to the other comment about the inaccuracies and fallacies in your arguments, there's two other points. Hyperinflation didn't happen in Argentina because of changing demand, it was trying to stop that (amongst a lot of other things). This is simple supply and demand, the supply of workers is down and the demand is up, so the wages must go up.

Related, I like how the argument is that the only way our economy will work is if there is a population that works for much less than a living wage. As if a form of near slavery must exist for capitalism to work. It's crazy.
I limit my news sources on purpose to avoid being overwhelmed. I limit myself to one international source and one local source. Then I have one video source. For me these are the BBC, Chicago Sun-Times, and PBS NewsHour. I used to follow tons of news sources but most are poor quality and just repost AP articles. For someone that drives a lot, NPR is a decent as well, but I find it inferior to the BBC. I don't consider any of these to be "left leaning", they're generally down the middle, but that depends on ones personal perspective. I used to caution people that if you watch the news too closely, you'd think the world is coming to and end. That was ten years ago. These days, you need to watch the news so you know when you're in your last week on Earth.
If you mean why I choose ElectronJS: I wanted it be cross-platform, and ElectronJS was the easiest (partly because I already built and been using the main feature).

If you mean why a desktop app: I've been using some web-based tools. Somehow, they don't last (ie. namemesh, or domainsfortherestofus that @pwdisswordfish8 mention went offline for sometimes).

Then I thought having a desktop app would be great. For long term, you don't have to worry the site is down.
I find "unlimited PTO" enough of a warning signal that I think "not explicitly stated" is an excellent description of what it gives you. And, yes, at least one former workplace switched us from "25 days, plus Bank Holidays" to "unlimited PTO".

With pretty much everyone in my team complaining that we preferred an explicit limit than a nebulous non-explicit managerial capriciousness.

Most late-entry employees get pretty modest equity grants IMHO. Unless you're a serious domain expert or a Carmack-level developer, you're probably looking at a few thousand shares a year, which isn't going to be million territory in a company for decades. Think about how long it would take to turn 1000 shares in Amazon into a million.
Ukraine is by no means "destroyed," it is reinvigorated, it's renewed.

In all areas of life, it's position severly declined since 1991 and especially after coup of 2014.

Population is rapidly declining.

Industry is destroyed. Shipbuilding, aviation construction is dead. As almost all other industry areas.

Corruption is all time high (even EU leaders openly say this).

What is reinvigorated, renewed? The next step is selling lumber and even the earth itself to the West. Both options are already discussed (maybe even approved already, I don't really follow news from Ukraine).

Are you perhaps a Putinist?

That's still memory management, because you need to worry about lifetimes.
I can relate to that, for sure. I also dislike the idea of having my personal property used to spy on me. The battery impact, the potentially degraded performance, and the overall creep factor. I dislike it all.

However, that was not what the parent stated. They said "Apple scan your photos.", to which I replied everyone else does as well. Because they do.
I understand where you're coming from, but in the interests of education it should be pointed out that a significant amount of destruction of native sites has occurred within "our" lifetimes. For instance, many suburbs in Chandler, AZ were directly built on bulldozed Hohokam pueblos in the 50s-80s. The power plant in Needles, CA was built over what was formerly the largest geoglyph in North America during the 70s, destroying most of the site. The wholesale looting of mimbres sites with heavy machinery mostly began in the 70s as well. The main reason this has slowed in recent years is that the looters have already gotten most of the obvious sites that aren't explicitly protected.

Most people aren't aware of how much destruction of archaeological heritage suburban development has entailed. A good percentage of Americans, especially those in the great lakes or Southwest regions, have used infrastructure built on native sites. It's pretty inescapable.
you know people will charge at home where it is cheaper

That would be my hope. That should be all of our hopes. In reality, there will be a very small percentage doing this as charging via solar is slow and the solar setup to charge a car is not small. There will be nearly as many people using charging stations as those using gas stations, given the nature of how people heavily depend on their cars and how often they are in them. Taxing the charging stations would be a direct parallel to the process of charging gas stations and would keep tracking devices out of non EV vehicles that will be around long after non EV's stop being sold.

I am personally not affected either way. I won't install a OBD3 transceiver in my vehicles and I can drive a tractor into town. I just had one behind me in the drive-through the other day. That might be less common in the cities.
> Thinking humans are special on the cosmic timescale is just arrogance.

Agreed - I don't find anything to disagree with in what you're saying.
