People desire alternative stories because they distrust those who are telling the main story, not because they lack good text or tools.

You'll be providing with the right AI-written story, but they'll still go read something else -- unless you can convince them that you're on their side (not with stories but actual-life-changing stuff). But we're not working on that and prefer toying with tools and algos.
> But it definitely is a better option than sleep.

It's the better option if you don't mind the longer time waking up, since RAM has to be restored from disk.

Otherwise, sleep should be backed by hibernation on all machines (it certainly is on mac laptops, and I think it is on windows as well): in case of power loss during sleep, the machine falls back to waking from hibernation, but if there was no power loss it wakes way faster. This is especially useful for people who move around a lot during the day and will close the laptop, move around, and reopen it. While things have gotten better with modern SSDs, having to restore 16 to 32GB from disk to RAM is far from instant-on.
If I may throw my speculation into the ring: I assume it’s because people are hurting for money and thus also for necessities like housing, food, and self-determination. My understanding of murder vs homicide was that murder requires intent, but some searching suggests robbery can count as that intent: https://www.danielsonlawfirm.com/murder-manslaughter-homicid...

“A person is guilty of capital murder if the person attempted to commit or did commit a violent crime such as kidnapping, robbery, or arson, and in doing so, the person causes the death of another human being.”

Obviously murder is always bad, and I can’t just forgive murderers even if I feel sorry for them, but I believe the fear and stress of not being able to survive in this world and economy we’ve built can push people over all kinds of edges they would otherwise never approach. I refuse to believe that anybody would want to be a murderer in a hypothetical “perfect” world, even the extreme cases like serial killers. I believe there’s always an emotional hole trying to be filled.

What happens when cables need to cross an isthmus like the Suez? Looks like they don’t literally go through the canal from Suez to Port Said but they run pretty close by to minimize distance over land. Most connections appear to run from Suez to Alexandria and from Zafarana to Abu Talat. [1]

How hard is it to perform an internet search for 'Nazi helmet'? I personally thought the tattoos looked like US army helmets so I did the search to see what a Nazi helmet looks like. Well, it is obvious the "researchers" never performed that research.

I also couldn't help but notice this after reading your comment, but in the image it seems pretty clearly that the A configuration is pretty incoherent. The 5 o'clock boy you mentioned, for example, clearly has a sleeve for the right side of his face, the boy at 2 o'clock is also missing a large chunk of his head, and of course the two boys at 8 o'clock overlap, but, now that I look again, in an incoherent way.
To me it seems that the answer to where the boy goes is simply that "the A configuration is invalid, but slightly so that we might not notice"
I don't understand how lobbying from Big Tech makes a product like a 10 Year Smartphone unattainable/just a dream. In what way is this the case? I can't help but think economics and consumer preference is what made the current state what it is. In other words, I don't see how said lobbying would stop some company from trying to make a 10 year smartphone.
It's definitely a Windows issue. I've had it with non-XPS Dells and completely different brands like Eluktronics.
That use of “begs the question” is unfortunate. “Raises the question” would be more cromulent, provided that cromulence can be compared.
You're suggesting that some totalizing entity can ensure that this total reorg happens without any influence by the current sources perpetuating the status quo. The article reflects a level of sophistication in coopting reform efforts most moderates aren't capable of accounting for:

>"The unit, named the Civil Rights and Public Integrity Detail, has pursued a long-running investigation into one of Villanueva’s most vocal critics"

>"The idea for the team was rooted in Villanueva’s upstart campaign for sheriff in 2018. While trying to persuade liberal voters he would be a progressive reformer, he also vowed to address what he said was widespread corruption among the department’s senior ranks that led to deputies being unfairly disciplined."

>"After taking office, Villanueva took steps to make good on his campaign promise, including hiring back deputies who he said had been wrongly fired."
> There are no context switches: async/await isn't threads.

By "context switch", I didn't meant to imply "hardware thread context switch", just the general sense of "spend some CPU time messing about with scheduling".

There is overhead to async in that you're unwinding the stack, bouncing to the thread pool scheduler, loading variables from the heap (since your async code was compiled to closures) back onto the stack, etc.

As far as I know, it's always possible to complete some given set of work in less total time (i.e. highest throughput) using a carefully hand-written multithreaded program than it is using async. Of course, most people don't have the luxury of writing and maintaining that program, so async code can often be a net win to both throughput and latency, but the overhead is there.

It's analogous to going from a manually-memory language to a language with GC. The GC makes your life easier and makes it much easier to write programs that are generally efficient, but it does incur some level of runtime overhead when compared to a program with optimally written manual alloc and free.
Also "minority" tends to be associated with a lower socioeconomic status, which may imply cruder language with more swear words in general, etc.
There's a good book called "What Confucius Really Said" that takes the Analects of Confucius and just puts it in a modern idiom. I think in general, the Analects comes off as more Tweet-like than anything in Plato. Plato is more of a playwright who characters go on unrealistically long digressions about whatever idea it is the author was interested in.
Even granted that, in a (n>1)-party system there is the capacity for electoral repercussions for individuals who demonstrate extraordinary corruption (as in the situation we are discussing here). In a single-party unitary system, there isn't even that possibility.

I do some support work for a friend and his kid's school laptops.
All Lenovo/Win 10.

He complained about the same thing, in this case on laptops that were completely shutdown the night before. In the end we tracked it down to the Lenovo Vantage service.

I assume it was powering on the laptop to check for updates but I could find no log or record of it doing so. But, once we removed that software the issue went away completely.

Anecdotal I know and I even told him it could be something else, that removing the software may have changed something related but not from Lenovo, etc. But in the end, a few weeks later that is, he confirmed that since we did that, they did not have the problem again.
Ironically, both are UC. I even though at the beginning that OP's article was from the University of California. Pretty big coincidence.

> It is also worth pointing out that producing methane here on Earth for use around Earth is not particularly helpful. Methane is hard to store and is a better greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide.

Couldn't we run the methane through one of those electric generators used in farming for cows' feces ? I honestly don't know how efficient these processes are, not an expert by any means.
Legislation to ban tracking and respect customer privacy? Yes, absolutely. Discipline and integrity in this area should be the standard.
It's been a while since I visited in school, but IIRC the whole balcony is in a different security area. Also, I'm not sure the press would appreciate getting uninvited either.
I don't think Facebook would have been credibly able to rate “not the primary cause” as false - that requires being able to quantify the individual contributions of each factor. To rate “not caused by” is false, they just need to argue it contributed to the slightest extent: it's a much lower bar.
Thank you so much for sharing this! Exactly what I've been looking for.
> At worst, it's a government agency honeypot

Kevin Poulsen's book Kingpin, about the takedown of CardersMarket, describes how the FBI ran a VPN service as a honeypot for quite a while as part of the operation, logging everything that passed through it. As you say, it could be anyone on the other end of that connection.
It would be helpful to explain how an early employee (whether still employed or separated from the company) is able to obtain the following documentation from their company to demonstrate QSBS treatment to the IRS (or if a letter indicating such from a finance department or the CFO would suffice):

> Even though reporting QSBS is simple, you should still keep financial statements and other supporting documents to support your claim. Detailed balance sheets for the company from its incorporation through the close of your investment will show if it has more than $50 million in aggregate gross assets. Equity documents (type, date, etc.) are also important to demonstrate that your investment qualifies. [1]

The Sabatier reaction is very energy intensive. It is pretty much the basis of Musk's demonstrations of cities on Mars, powered by lots of solar power. It has other advantages for human colonization as well, such as producing oxygen as a byproduct.
It appears so [1]. It's surprising how far behind most non-tech industries are when it comes to legacy software (not sure I'd call Apache "legacy", but still). I'd also be interested to see the stats for IT/developer positions in tech vs. non-tech fields. My intuition suggests that there are a lot more Apache sysadmins than you'd think.

I absolutely agree that microsoft could and should make this work better. But the pragmatic workaround is the setting to force hibernation when you close the lid. You can resume from SSD in 10 seconds. No middle of the night wakeups. Much improved battery life.
The flags don't really "do" anything. In the one configuration, every flag is held by a boy. In the other configuration one boy has no flag, and there is a severed hand holding a flag.
Sometimes I think custom writing your own http server might not be a bad idea after all.

Lots of security holes in your custom write? Yes! But the hacker needs to be dedicated to exploiting your one server specifically to find it.

In exchange you are safe from of all those : vulnerabilities in the wild => script kiddies => mass exploitation => your are now hacked type of situations.
> That doesn't support killing them.

If you have to wait hours, sometimes days for a queue to run tests that catch 1 bug in 1000 runs and you still end up with bugs in production, I believe this supports killing the current e2e process, if you find ways to guarantee system integrity between services.

I think you are assuming accidental complexity, but hard to debug tests could also be a symptom of inherent system complexity.

Nubank is a gigantic proponent of clojure and is regarded to have high standards of code quality, so I think that we can give them the benefit of the doubt in this aspect.
On the low end, it looks like they're saying the newer models predict 5-10m (15-30ft) tsunami waves on the East Coast.

Earlier models were predicting tsunami waves of 10m to 25m (30ft to 75ft), which would likely wipe out most large cities on the coast.
Doesn't seem to be much better for desktops: my wife just bought a Dell PC for gaming, and we have to replace the cpu cooler and case fan because what was supplied was clearly inadequate. Just because Dell wanted to shave a couple bucks off the manufacturing cost.
I know this is not sufficient evidence of the contrary, but my HP Envy 15z x360 (the one with the Ryzen 2500u processor) seems to hibernate as expected with the lid shut. Zero battery usage while hibernating on my desk or in my bag for days at a time.

Granted, this laptop is more than a couple years old at this point, so it is possible it is completely unaffected.
With this technology, assuming it can capture large amounts of carbon, couldn't some of it be converted to fuel for current use and some of it sequestered. It would certainly take longer to significantly reduce the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere, but should still do the job. Instead of introducing new CO2 into the atmosphere by burning newly extracted oil, we would be sequestering some and "recycling" some.
The "quality" range of both real leather and fake leather is extremely wide. There is a lot of overlap.

Unless you are driving an S-class around, there is a very good chance that the "leather" seats you love are part leather and part fake leather (and you most likely can't tell the difference).

Anyway, Volvo offers "city weave" textile on most of their cars in the US - it is really awesome. But if you want to see something really amazing, check out the special-order wool seats that Volvo offers.
..and none of them mention "written in XXX", do they? They're just interesting projects. The reason for posting is not "...they're in rust", the language is just an implementation detail.

We can reasonably assume the Go one is written in Go, but the point here is the playground, not the fact that somebody did something in Go.

The slacktyping and kernel module don't mention language at all, they're about some typing... thing and an example of how not to write a kernel module.

The javascript one obviously implements javascript, but there's no mention what language it is implemented in.

Do you see the difference here? These are all about interesting _projects_, not about some implementation detail, being that it is written in language XXX.
"Branding he doesn't like" is a whole thing, though. Showing contempt for the norms of society by getting a bunch of obscene tattoos and driving a vehicle that violates every relevant stanza of the vehicle code is not a healthy behavior for individuals and organizations who are granted the exclusive franchise on violence.
"Being fired for something" isn't the same as being cancelled. "Cancellation" implies a concerted campaign to pressure employers into firing employees. Being fired on the grounds that you've offended your employer or said something that is broadly unpopular are both awful, but they're different than "you've said something that offended a tiny minority of the population but they're threatening to call up our clients and slander us (and otherwise make business difficult) unless we fire you".
There still must be some input of energy. From what I understand, the Sabatier reaction is really only viable from an environmental perspective if it is powered by some other non-carbon energy, such as solar or wind.
And this is why I got a passively cooled laptop without a fan. It's very weak, but it's worth it to not have any anxiety about it overheating in my bag. Absolutely fantastic for college.
We can only speculate, but my guess is some combination of “didn’t feel the need to” and “the code responsible for this is nested 6 layers deep between 3 different frameworks”.
This is a surprisingly harshly debated topic.

Recently, here in Switzerland, police departments argued the pros and cons of naming suspect nationality.

If you do it, readers can actually get a clear picture of the demographics of criminals. However, the media can cherry pick those suspects that fit their custom brand of racism.

If you don't do it, racist/ageist/whatever prejudices can simply fill the minds of the readers with their preconceived notions of what the suspect "must be like", which isn't better.
> Flaky tests should be removed from the production testing system just like code that fails tests should be removed from production deployments.

...then how do you know when third-party upstream services are obeying their contracts to your service, if not by testing how your service interacts with those third-parties?

(I know my answer, but I'm curious to hear yours.)
What's wrong with Apache? (honest question)
It would take more time, energy, money, and resources to build out enough solar and wind (etc) to turn enough CO2 into enough fuel for all our cars than it takes to just replace the cars with electric ones and use that massive solar and wind grid to just power them straight
I would hope that it also tells a recruiter that you are able to focus/persevere at something, that you have decent writing skills, and that you enjoy sharing your knowledge.

I am somewhat biased, I also have a high-rep account (mostly from C questions). I have not tried drumming up interest when interviewing, though.

Not all prisons are the same. The labor camps operate like this, your family member was either not in one of these prisons, or he took the job.
This is a disgusting kafka trap you just tried to stuff another person in by implying the only reason anyone could disagree with you is if they're an abuser. You can take this slimy behavior elsewhere and it only shows that your remarks about the OCaml community are suspect.

It can improve bandwidth too! Network operators LOVE to mess with traffic based on service type: prioritize it, throttle it, cap it, the games don't end.

> I was involved in a blockchain (DeFi) startup. All the blockchain companies are mostly a huge pyramid scheme. The company I worked for has a lot of big claims, raised millions, wanted to solve world hunger, prioritized partnership, marketing, while having no working implementation. Others in the eco system are the same.

I agree that there are lots of scammy "blockchain" startups, but I don't think it's fair to paint them all with that brush. There are also plenty that are actually building cool projects, without pumping their coin, and announcing light interactions with a company as partnerships.

If you have 20% of companies being scummy, but churning out 80% of the news, your assumption will be that all of the companies are scummy.
I think there is utility in having non-metabolic-ward studies, but for the primary purpose of highlighting sociological issues surrounding diet.

You need the ward, of course, to prove what works and what doesn't under perfect conditions. But you also have to figure out how to export those conditions from the ward.
The US wrote the German constitution. We should just drop any clauses that are Germany-specific (the ones about reunification and so on) and adopt it wholesale as our constitution. Our current constitution is very bad and leading us slowly into dysfunction and possible civil conflict…

The article starts with asserting multiple times that reasoning is a uniquely human trait, yet offers no evidence at the point of that claim.

While on the surface we might like to take that at face value, we really shouldn't. The same thing was said about language until it was proven otherwise. Tool use, too, was proven not to be so unique to us, and later tool construction. Forward planning was thought uniquely human, but tool construction implies otherwise (as does my dog going to grab his favorite toy on the way to go outside and leaving it just inside the door for when he comes back in the house). Emotions other than fear were said to be unique to us, then we saw compassion within and across species. It's been shown that dogs and their people produce the same oxytocin response when looking one another in the eye. We've taught animals mazes, food choices, which lever is a reward vs a punishment, to sniff out truffles/drugs/explosives/cancer and communicate to us that they've found them. Dog can alert us to seizures, low blood sugar events, traffic, and the mood & possible intent of other humans. What of these can be done without some level of reasoning about the world?

To dismiss everything every species of animal does as instinct and elevate ourselves and superior and special in every way is hubris. Are we better at language, reasoning, creating tools, and such than other species? Sure. Does that mean we can say any of those things are distinctly and uniquely human without dismissing evidence about several other species? No, I don't think we can.
No one remembers events perfectly. You remember the highlights; your brain fills in the gaps with what it believes it remembers happens, sometimes going so far as to lie to you.

When faced with that fact, you can choose to feel that it elevates the importance of accurate recreation of the past in our photographs.

I'm more on the opposite side; I don't look at old photos to remember what happened. I look at them to remember how I felt when it happened. I'll never look at an old photo and think "what the; the goldenrod shade of that lion's mane had a 0.54% deeper saturation in real life, this camera sucks!" I'll be thinking "that lion was fucking awesome, and this photo makes him look fucking awesome."

So, maybe camera phones over-process and produce a dream-like representation of what happened. That's how everyone remembers how it happened anyway. There's certainly value in accuracy, but I'm not the New York Times.
Given that a lot of war movies try to have the uniforms correct, I think that anyone who likes to watch war movies will have a good idea how uniforms of bygone wars looked like.

That is obviously a much larger set of people than closet Nazi admirers, even in the U.S.

And the previous poster might be an European from a country once occupied by Nazis, or even Germany, where such knowledge is part of the historic memory.

Most Czechs with at least elementary history knowledge could distinguish Nazi helmets from other ones at first sight; the Stahlhelm is a very distinct design and it is part of a very dark memory for us. It had some innocent uses too (Austrian firefighters or Chilean cavalry, IIRC), but it is tainted here forever.
