Of course, readers would interpret the headline as hyperbole. They would not expect the article to be about a new technology that literally defies gravity. However, precisely because of the hyperbolic headline, readers would expect something more interesting than a hop that's maybe the size of two normal stair steps. This is very clearly deliberate deception.
> Which reminds me: what is a good tool for analyzing / viewing a C++ programs call tree?

As already mentioned, perf can capture call stacks, but those are statistical samples, so not necessarily complete.

callgrind (https://www.valgrind.org/docs/manual/cl-manual.html) by contrast can capture all call-stacks.

kCacheGrind/qCacheGrind (https://kcachegrind.github.io/html/Home.html) can be used to view the output from either perf or callgrind. Sources for kcachegrind, including converters from perf, oprofile, etc., can be found at https://github.com/KDE/kcachegrind
Wasabi doesn’t charge for egress (‘fair use’ policy applies), but they do have a 3 month minimum for data, including deleted data.

This caught me out when I was transferring 100GB files that only needed to be up for a few hours, and I ended up getting charged as if I had hosted them for 3 months.
>Oh hello, strawman.

Glad to know you finally admit that being kidnapped by a 3rd party is not really what most of us think as "moderation", and thus you have made a straw man. Although in the strict sense I guess it is true that moderation could merely mean some 3rd party entity came along and violently kept me away from communicating. If you don't like me posting cat pictures on reddit, you could crack my skull or lock me in a cage and steal my PC and you would have "moderated" me but I wouldn't call that reddit moderation.

Someone still ends up reviewing images for the ML training dataset.

That's still a huge improvement over every mod everywhere seeing the same images repeatedly, but someone has to make the call at some point.
That's ok though, it makes keeping my old Quest 1 a lot more interesting than flogging it on ebay for a hundred bucks. It's still a pretty capable device with a beautiful oled screen that's looking to be abandoned soon (now that games like resident evil are coming out that are quest 2 only).

It's not the nature of change, it's the nature of capitalism.
I'm coming at this from the perspective of Ontario, Canada.

eHealth, as cumbersome and obtuse as it is, is unquestionably secure. It's not perfect, but it's good enough. We have the IPC (https://www.ipc.on.ca/) and several other checks and balances that must be satisfied before a system can hold health data. Not to mention the federal requirements such as PHIPA.

These safety requirements are completely out the door when some guy runs a vaccine app. This leak wasn't a mishandled CVE or a zero-day - it was just lazy and sloppy design.

Personally, I'm neutral on the technological aspect of 'passports'. I would prefer a hard-copy if possible to keep tech out of the question entirely, but there are absolutely ways to do it well, or at least good enough. This isn't it - this was an opportunist seizing the disorganization of the Alberta government from what I gather.

It feels censored. Is it? For example:

- bigbongforbonnie.com = 1 exact match

- bigbongforbonnie = no results

- bigbongsforbonnie = lots of recommendations that aren't good

For the last one, I say the recommendations aren't good because the .com is available. I used 'bong' as an example because it seems like any drug related terms or slang are disallowed, but it's super strict and bleeds over into legitimate uses.

For example, imagine you run PEI Pipe Fitters in PEI, Canada and search for 'peipipefitters'. The .com is available, but it gives terrible recommendations instead. The recommendations don't even include the words 'pipe fitter'. It swaps 'floor' for pipe. What a clbuttic mistake. Lol. You have to go for the exact match search (peipipefitters.com) just to realize the .com is available.

Swear words also seem to be filtered. What's the deal?
> Houses built over the past 50 or so years are designed to disintegrate over 50 or so years and be rebuilt anyway.

This may happen in places, but in any case building larger (to accommodate robots) spaces is not a way to make the robots more cost-effective or drive adoption.
I don't think you are supposed to apply it to the electronics. Only the plastics.
I would do that but make it pseudonymous.

i.e. illegal or fraudulent content is clearly owned by the user irongoat, and you know who irongoat is (at least you know their email, IP address) but no-one on your site knows who irongoat is.

If the content is bad enough, authorities will get in touch for you to tell them what email address irongoat is associated with.

But as long as the content is OK, irongoat can say what he/she wants, with no PII visible.
I would argue that most interesting (and unpatched?) servers do at least have an ipv4 address as well, if not exclusively
Why do you think they were using your platform to do this?

Is it because these scammers were non technical?

Or maybe the anonymity provided by your platform?

> But the ads you see online are going to suck.

Even with all the profiling the ads still suck.

It amazes me how little insight all this profiling actually gives advertisers. Sure they advertise stuff to me that I'm already searching for, but advertising is supposed to be about brining in new customers. Not advertising a product to me after I've already decided what I want, searched for it, and bought it (or decided I don't want it).

I get ads for weeks after that are a complete waste of the advertiser's money, LOL. I don't think I've EVER bought something online that I didn't know I wanted until I saw an ad...
Software salaries are increasingly becoming globalised, so, in places with economy in a bad shape, such as for example Ukraine, the average salary may be $300, while a dev may be making $2500. Keep in mind that people making average salaries are really struggling (things aren’t neccessarily cheaper in Ukraine than in the US) and often have family members abroad who send money etc. Btw it’s not that the devs live like kings (although they are certainly very comfortable) - more like average people live lives that would be hard to swallow for Americans.

What does hypersonic mean? I thought all missiles were largely supersonic, except for maybe cruise missiles.
This looks very similar to me to the mainframe manuals I am familiar with from this time which were written using SCRIPT/VS as the printer control language & GML (which begat SGML) as the document markup language (implemented as SCRIPT/VS macros). There was also SCRIPT/PC for DOS but that was very limited by comparison and a pain to use so I doubt they used that. (SCRIPT/VS is quite like Troff - they share a common ancestor in RUNOFF.)
But you could replace the cat with a robotic one, that would produce poop pellets of standard size and consistency.
Thanks for reporting this. Do you mean an async tracee? Austin(p) handles all sorts of Python code, so should work with async like any other code.
You’re comment about not assuming a correlation of language and genetics is spot on for this topic. In the linked article (or maybe it was another article on this topic) they mention that genetic research shows that Etruscans shared much of the same step-derived ancestry as the Latin speaking Italians. It appears that, when then step invaders came in, at least one group of them picked up a local non-IE language even while their genetics overcame the original speakers.
This is correct. Bandwidth (ingress and egress) always free, regardless of volume. Transactions free at low volume (~<1/sec) but we’ll charge at higher volumes. Storage we charge for. For both transactions and storage, we aim to be at least 10% less expensive than S3. And, again, for the sake of absolute clarity: egress/ingress always free.

There's an argument to be made, not that I'm making it, that you need to have vaccine passports in order to get from 80-something % vaccinated to some higher key immunity threshold, since otherwise it's hard to convince the final group of unvaccinated stragglers to get vaccinated.
Feedback: I went to the site with one question in mind - what type of moderation do you use?

e.g. would your services be useful to a christian social network? Or to a goth band forum? In the US? In Iceland?

i.e. how do you sync your service to the style, nuance and voice of your customer?
You don't need a majority of miners to create a hard fork. I still maintain it is up to the majority of nodes/users to determine if it is valid. If there has been a hard fork then by definition the network has rejected an invalid block(s). It is up to nodes/users to determine which network is "the" coin and thus mining valid blocks.
We replaced a $15 land line with a $1,100 iphone and got multitudinous other benefits. Replacing human centric habitation space with human+robot centric spaces seems like it would have similar outsized benefits. For example, maybe dishes never need to be cleaned by water if you have a robot willing to manually scrub them for 8 hours. Indeed, maybe your robo chef can also sterilize the "counter" so you just eat right off of it.
Ah nice, thanks! I feel like I've seen that page before and just totally forgot about it. haha :)
I am curious why you think that it is different. The base assumption should always be that non-medicine have non-effects - apart from perceived effects and the desire to "co-operate" with the study (which is why we double-blind tests are so important).

[0] is a Cochrane study that looked at this. Quoting from their conclusions:

> We did not find that placebo interventions have important clinical effects in general. However, in certain settings placebo interventions can influence patient‐reported outcomes, especially pain and nausea, though it is difficult to distinguish patient‐reported effects of placebo from biased reporting. The effect on pain varied, even among trials with low risk of bias, from negligible to clinically important. Variations in the effect of placebo were partly explained by variations in how trials were conducted and how patients were informed.

> I mean for all you know their case count is way, way underreported.

I work professionally with numerous cities in Australia, along with having friends and family there, so I don't have any particular reason to believe that under-reporting would produce a meaningful effect (keeping in mind that even if they were under-reporting by 10x, you'd still have a 5x result towards "yes, lockdowns work.")

I also follow a few scientists that track things like "rise in natural cause deaths" to look for under-reporting, and none of them has flagged Australia as a major concern.

> Even if it works, is it worth it?

That's a question we can only really ask after we've answered "does it work", but I agree it's an important one.

The thing is, "is it worth it" really depends on what the effect size is. If we can get that entire 50x reduction in deaths, that's amazing and I'd be hard-pressed to argue that the price they paid was too high for that.

But if we can get that 50x without such draconian restrictions, that's even better. And it's possible that over here we can't get anywhere close to that 50x because we can't do things like "completely close our borders" the way Australia can.

Old wives’ tale, but considering there are few basically unsubstantiated claims that VR magically fixed some crossed eyes and nearsightedness, it wouldn’t be entirely unreasonable to be cautions about children's futures. Something like that.
Locomotion on flat floors covered in furniture is one problem out of many, and if redesigning all the other parts of the human environment solved all the other problems, researchers would only have one problem left.
Because they themselves don't deserve it. I need a browser company to focus on making a good application, not focus on telling me what I should see on the web. Mozilla's definitely interested in the latter, but I don't remember the last time they actually introduced something that made me go "huh, that's good". The company are activists hostile to me and mine, seem to build a worse and worse product in and of itself (discounting devs not building for Firefox) and are funded by Google. What's there to like?

The privacy disaster that's new Edge is constantly doing really good UI innovation with powerful but simple features like collapsible sidebars while retaining native UI.

Vivaldi, well, the whole point of the browser is features, and they deliver. They have three different ways to use tab stacks, for heaven's sake. And they do privacy, and aren't interested in telling me what I should see.

Brave, same. Privacy focus, try to build standalone revenue streams. They actually ship new things, if less aggressively in the UI department than Edge or Vivaldi. And they're not interested in telling me what I should see on the web.

I'd gladly use Mozilla, but they have to deserve it first by being genuinely good in terms of attitude and/or product, preferably both, not just being "not Google". By my count, product's getting worse and the attitude is complete garbage.

This rant is also more or less on point: http://dpldocs.info/this-week-in-d/Blog.Posted_2021_09_06.ht...

Google, Microsoft and Apple all push their browsers forward by their external footprint - Google and Microsoft cloud platforms, and all three by being the default.

Brave's building their own platform, Vivaldi a bit of the same, but also just built-in tools in the browser like a simple notetaker and mail/calendar/RSS apps.

Firefox has Pocket, which is good and a good idea, but their userbase is stupidly hostile to ventures like that, the only thing they accept is a pristine FOSS project funded by donations.

And all that stuff is patented so I have a hard time taking you seriously, who would sharply criticize a free public domain font rendering library over things it can't control. Retro aesthetic is my use case since I use stb_truetype to render fonts in a terminal. STB is scrappy and may not be Apple or Microsoft but it's been a remarkable gift from my point of view.
Sure would be great if we could get to Denmark's vaccination numbers.

This is like saying "We should stop all the DUI checkpoints like this other country did," when that country doesn't have a DUI problem but 30% of drivers in our country are drunk.
Check every function's automatic variables' sizes, add them all up, and add whatever function call frame size the compiler and ABI are using. Getting an exact accounting of function call stack memory usage is tricky because you might have framepointer-less code, and you might have inlining of function calls, but you can figure it out assuming no inlining and assuming you don't enable framepointer-less-ness.
Absolutely this. Don't build the ship and then run around plugging leaks --- plan out the ship well enough to prevent leaks in the first place.

This is hard, and rare, because it requires predicting how all sorts of different people are going to interact with the community. Traditionally, this hasn't been something that the people who start software companies are particularly interested in, or good at. And a laser focus on user growth only compounds the problem.
For the value that OBS provides to the “creator economy” between YouTube and Twitch alone, I’m surprised there haven’t been more events by creators to support the devs.

Right, I think the gp comment is referring to fabs being impacted by water shortages, not fabs causing water shortages.

Although if push comes to shove I guess all of this can be solved trivially by not growing ridiculous water intensive crops and not having golf courses and stuff in the middle of the desert.
Okay, so disregarding that label, most platforms will have a target or focus or niche (well, the ones that want a chance of surviving, anyway) and they will thus be very wise to tailor the rules around that, and create the conditions ideal for fostering that type of content.

For instance, if you were starting, say, a TikTok-esque video app but for super-quick tutorial videos, wouldn't it make sense for upload criteria to require it be some sort of tutorial, stay within some time limit, and probably not be just a gratuitous video of a bunch of people having sex? Call it whatever you want -- "NSFW" is just a shortcut, a heuristic that most people understand the meaning of regardless of whether it is actually safe or unsafe at their place of work. But there can be no denying that platforms/communities serving some interest or demographic will have their own unique requirements, their policies and standards will reflect this, and very often this will preclude "NSFW" content.

A lot of people get bent out of shape about this and view these sorts of policies solely as some sort of censorship issue, but many fail to realize that most of the time it's just about creating the ideal conditions for the community/platform to take hold.

Reading the article or simply typing "hypersonic" into Google would've gotten you an immediate answer, but it means faster than Mach 5.
I'm in the same boat, 95% of my SO points come from an answer that was basically a copy pasted script to fix an obscure VMWare error with Ubuntu. Turns out a lot of people had the same issue that day.
I've been loosely watching linux FLOSS video editor for more than a decade. At the time we joked: "stability, features, performance; choose two". But that has changed.

FLOSS video tools have greatly improved in recent years. Even disregarding blender, some prosumer-like tools broke the good enough bar recently. Kdenlive, OBS, Natron, Synfig... It is becoming increasingly harder for non-paid proprietary tools to compete. Hope the professional market will soon start to benefit from these improvements.
> In aerodynamics, a hypersonic speed is one that greatly exceeds the speed of sound, often stated as starting at speeds of Mach 5 and above.
An acre-foot is about 325K gallons, and an irrigated farm uses 1 or 2 acre-feet per acre per year. So the "inefficient" fab you work at uses less than 2 acre-feet/day, or maybe 700 per year. About what a 500-acre farm uses.

Arizona has about 1.3 million acres under irrigation. So 2,500 similar fabs would use all the irrigation water.

It's a lot of water, but maybe not a deal breaker?

Neat tool! There appears to be two minor issues in the last example. There is an encoding issue of "ø" characters ("RÃ¸kke"), and a column split appears to be missing betweeen the closely spaced numbers ("33 300 22 700" vs "33 300,22 700"). Possible possibly non-trivial improvement: harmonize formatting within the same column to avoid mixed occurences of "7800" / "7 800".

It's a speed regime. Under Mach 1 is subsonic. From Mach 0.9 through 1.2 or so is transsonic. 1.0 and greater is supersonic. Above Mach 5ish is hypersonic.

Mach 25 is approximately orbital velocity, but since Mach is actually related to air pressure, it's not a very meaningful comparison except to note that anything moving that fast isn't going to be in-atmosphere for very long.
Perhaps you haven't noticed that China has been building islands and claiming the sea around them. In fact, they claim the entire South China Sea as territorial waters. They routinely send their fishing fleets into the legitimate territorial waters of other nations. As they are starting to struggle again with the size of their population, expansion will seem like a natural solution.
