How much of the increase was due to reloads since when facebook goes down, the performance of sites that include FB javascript tends to get worse.

From the GitHub thread it seems like these projects willingly transferred the copyright to the DNF when they joined; is that not the case? If it is what grounds do they have for being upset?
These projects gave the .NET foundation admin access and then the foundation moved the projects. No insider access needed.
This is a profoundly presumptuous and shitty claim.

Speaking of fast, the Russians now have hypersonic missiles that go roughly 14,000 miles per hour. That's more than 3 miles a second! If you have a missile defense on board a ship, that means the missile defense has to detect, target and kill that missile in just a few seconds maximum.
I have not found that to be the case, referring to your 2nd paragraph. In fact most of the evidence I've seen wrt <8 hour work days have been that people get as much or even more done than they thought [0].

Yes this is what I was thinking of. Thank you!
I used to dislike vim because of its steep learning curve - my brain would say "I'll always forget it and it won't be worth it". After learning vim (only the very basics), it continues to put a smile on my face now and then. It's like someone has given me 8 to 10 lego pieces and what I can do can be imagined on the spot. Stack the lego pieces and voila, yet another smile on a rather dim morning. Vim is great, but I totally understand my old self that was put off by the elite/snob culture and their ways to scare you away.

All said, if you don't know vim and don't want to learn it, you're not missing out on an occasional smile and a kick in discovering ysa2t or whatever the command. It's not as hyped up as it is treated by the elites. It's good.
Then don't. Just learn the basics. Learn how to use insert mode, edit some files, ignore anything not directly relevant. Eventually you'll come across a particular use case where opening a full blown IDE doesn't feel worth the effort, so you'll open vim.

You'll learn a few shortcuts, because it would be nice to delete an entire line, or just look at the end of the file. What do you know `dd`, and `G` respectively do that for you.

Eventually things will become easier in vim, and you'll just have another tool at your disposal.

It took me years to begin to appreciate vim. I don't have a .vimrc, I use all the base settings. However, now that I know how to use vim it's become invaluable.

The thing about vim is that it doesn't have to be complicated. It can be as easy or as hard as you want it to be.
fwiw "fifth" usually means 750ml (seven-FIFTHty) and 1.5L, or more commonly 1.75L for spirits, are called "half gallons."
If only it were so easy. Typically, you're not using these dependencies directly. You use something that uses them. And it's not compatible with the "secure" version.

Not really, because printing money implies a low cost to produce new "money" into the system. It’s more like defaulting to gold as well. El Salvador can buy more gold but at a very high cost that isn’t akin to printing money.
This might be somewhat surprising to some people because a lot of the traffic to news sites comes from facebook.
interesting application
I use stumpwm, but to be honest I think I barely added any config options. Sloppy mouse focus was one and another to take screenshots with flameshot. Sloppy mouse focus in particular is huge. Works well with a tiling wm imo. The cursor tells me where my focus should be much better than a thin little outline moving around the screen. I was intimidated by all the lispiness of wms until I realized that I'm pretty content with out-of-the-box functionality and google got me the rest of the way.

Similarly, I've memorized new window and new horizontal/vertical split for tmux and that's like...98% of my usage so I'm set.
vim definitely requires more effort, but the payoff for me was making it so that I'm always either in the terminal or in firefox. I still use the arrow keys to move around in documents and I've been using it as my daily driver for work for years.

As a result, I have two monitors, one dedicated to firefox and one to the terminal (includes vim + db clients + everything else). I don't split my terminal like crazy, almost very tmux window is fullsize. I split vim 3-4 times at most and make use of a buffer-switching list thing that's way more intuitive to me than remembering the vim commands to cycle through them.

Most of the reason I use a wm is because for two applications, I don't need window decorations and it just seemed like a waste in general.

For the amount of power-user tools I use I feel like a totel poser. But it works for me, and I think that's what matters.
It isn't clear why it needed AI. If there is enough compute power to run a neural net, surely there is enough computer power to parse data from sonar or compute near-term avoidance vectors from bifocal imagery parallax/depth-queuing. Not clear how the AI obviates this.

A single 4K monitor could have more real estate and not need to move your head with virtual desktops, “switching” is either head movement or a button as a preference.
Snake Detection Theory
I have a genuine question. My long time peeve has been that I suck at Chess and every time I play against anyone/anything, I just lose. It demoralizes me and then after sometime I try again, only to have the experience repeat. I have had decent grades, I code for a living and have been told that the quality of my work isn't bad so I guess I'll risk coming across as arrogant when I think that I'm not absolutely dumb.

So the question is, is there anyone who has had the same experience? If so, what did you do to improve? Mind you, I'm not asking folks who put in moderate effort and got results. I'm talking to the ones that keep failing and failing spectacularly but eventually improved. Is it even possible to have anyone like that? If so, what did you do? Is it about just keeping at it?
In many jurisdictions in the US, interfering with criminals in any way is itself a crime, even if it’s with cool LTL tech. If you’re fortune enough not to live in one of those places, firearms are a solution that have worked for the last few centuries.
I lived and worked for six months in the Cupertino area for a contract job at Apple. My wife and I moved to Austin in 2006.

Traffic in Austin is weird. There are some places where it’s literally the worst in the nation — I-35 is the most congested interstate in the nation, and the most congested part of I-35 starts just above Austin and ends just south of Austin. I-35 is more or less congested pretty much around the clock.

But if you live closer in, and you’re traveling further out, then you can go counter flow, and it might not be too bad, depending on where you start and where you end.

I can say the same is true for Cupertino. My commute there started on Stevens Creek Road, where it crossed 280 and went west on Stephen’s Creek Road and ended when I got to Bubb Road, just east of where Stevens Creek Road crossed 85. If you can carefully pick your starting and ending points, the commute isn’t so bad.

But I was a contractor. I was getting paid way more than the employees. At the time my contract was up, I calculated that if they were going to offer me a job, they’d have to offer me at least $250k per year plus bonuses and stock, just to let me keep renting that same one bedroom apartment. And nobody but executives were making that kind of money at that time. Meanwhile, my wife stayed here in Austin, with our cats and our house, and we were still making house payments as well — and my 1BR apartment out there cost way more than our 4BR house here.

Getting back to the traffic here in Austin, 360 can be a parking lot if you’re going the wrong direction at the wrong time. So can Mopac. And both are still better than I-35. And that’s really it for major north-south commuting options. The 130 toll road on the far eastern sides of town just isn’t an option for most people. As fast as it is, it would take far too long to get over there, go north or south by however much you need, and get back, compared to just staying on the parking lot you’re already on.

So, the key will be to choose housing that is close to the office, so that you can avoid most of the commute in the first place.

And housing costs is one area in which Austin fortunately still can’t compare to the Bay Area. As much as I hate how much housing costs have gone up and that my wife and I are now effectively locked into our house because we can’t find a place we could afford to buy within a 200 mile radius for what we would get for this house, our housing costs are still way, way below that in the Bay Area.

And yes, we still hate all the jokers coming in from California who are gladly dropping millions of bucks to buy up houses that just a few years ago were only worth a few hundred thousand.

Thanks for visiting, but Austin is full. Yankee go home, please.
yes, it will be a little easy, because don't need high accuracy, only be dirty
That correlation analysis is not good, you've got N=1 there and an astronomical number of confounders. A better analysis would be to look at inter-city or inter-municipality variability in crime and correlate that with the cross-section of housing price changes. You'll have a rich N=50 to N=5000 dataset.

I don't agree with your assertion that homelessness isn't caused in part by house prices. That seems unintuitive to me. Yes some people will get roommates, but what about people that already had roommates and were barely meeting rent? Some of them will have the foresight to get up and move interstate before they get wiped out, but there's frictions and costs associated and not everyone will succeed.
I stack my two monitors on top of each other, much better for code because my eyes just have to move down but don’t need to re-focus to a new column, and I’m looking more forward and up to reduce slouching.

Fascinating creatures, but boy do they mess with my mind like nothing else.
Cloudflare, it seems, was perfectly willing to tell them identify of the customer without even going to court.

> Cloudflare's security services do impact the ability of third parties to identify a website's hosting provider and the IP address of the server on which it resides. If Cloudflare's provision of these services made it more difficult for a third party to report incidents of infringement to the web host as part of an effort to get the underlying content taken down, perhaps it could be liable for contributory infringement. But here, the parties agree that Cloudflare informs complainants of the identity of the host in response to receiving a copyright complaint, in addition to forwarding the complaint along to the host provider.
In this case a majority of the traffic certainly came from Google. If all social media and search engines vanished (including the suggested site feature on safari) for a few hours, we’d definitely see traffic to news sites go down.
I can't refute your examples, but I think on one hand, C#/.NET has a lot of modern stuff you maybe didn't see, which you'd wish other languages had. The lang has great features (i.e. properties; the libraries for collections/concurrent collections; System.Linq; and Tasks, to name some). VS has great profiling tools (cpu/memory) if you know how to use them. Package and dependency management were bad, but I believe got some needed improvements starting with .NET Core. Things like that.

OTOH, that said, I don't actually prefer C#/.NET, when I think of those techs I don't think of a great OSS ecosystem (more like marketing blog posts by Microsoft MVPs, as opposed to technical deep dives by passionate engineers). I also think of github repos with at least 10x more open issues than stars or forks. These techs have great features, and they're used for successful projects/companies, but there's something about the fact MSFT owns them that makes me not want to use them at all, and just prefer golang/java/etc.
You might check out zkcheckout from zksync who run a zk-rollup that inherits the full security of Ethereum with pennies for fees. This would allow for direct stablecoin payments without an intermediary and is fully self custodial (unlike strike).
You have a strange notion of what 'research' might be, which doesn't really map to either a academic notion of research ("write papers that might appeal to an {OS,PL,NS}DI committee") or a practical notion of research ("build cool things that might help people do things with computers that couldn't be done before"). I've actually done these things, as it happens, so spare me your frothing at the mouth about "buzzword machines" and substance please - a bit much coming from an anonymous account.

I'm not going to denigrate noodling around with uxn, which seems quite neat, but it's not in any way shape or form something that most people would recognize as "research": it might be cool, and it might be an effective way of learning things, but it is not going to let anyone do anything substantially new they couldn't do before.

The point of "popularity" is not to win internet brownie points: it's to get outside your own head and find out what other people's workloads look like. If "modern" workloads sounds too much like a cliche (and I admit it does sound a bit like I feel like all research OS work should be centered around supporting an Electron stack or some hipster NoSQL database running in Kubernetes when I talk like that) - it could just as easily be "scientific workloads" or even, god help us, COBOL workloads.

Just something that you didn't yourself make up. That's noodling. That's a hobby. We're all really good at asking ourselves questions and providing good answers for them.

Anyhow, enjoy your noodling. I'm sure you'll have some absurd and reactive response to this, and yell and scream some more about how I don't have any substance and how your notion of research is Super Awesome and we all should invest more time playing with 8-bit computers, but I have some 256-bit and 512-bit stuff to get to, so have a nice day.
If I ever have to take a job that doesn't let me install Sway, I'm in trouble. Having windows haphazardly piled on top of each other makes me very anxious and stressed out. It did before I switched, and is why I switched, but now I've had a taste. I know how pleasant window management can be.

Even in Manhattan, where transit is pretty decent, the only reason why transit is faster (sometimes) is because traffic is terrible all the time.
You're referring to the YAML point? The way I read it, it sounds like the poster only learned about the issue when they ran into it during development. That being said, a couple of specific complaints is probably not the best argument against a broader platform.

From my personal experience, what you're describing - lack of motivation, people applying only for the exciting (oculus) ventures or infra, and people only being there for colleagues and perks - doesn't sound too different from most large tech companies. Of course, the difference could be in scale, but I see many of those symptoms in the big tech I work at, and we don't even sell our souls to the devil like Facebook does.

This is underselling it a little. Skilcraft quite literally would not exist if the federal government weren't required by law to buy supplies from them.
Yeah, from people looking for news about why Facebook is down.
Traffic for basically every site went up. People thought it was an internet-wide DDOS attack when it was just the 3B people on FB's properties finding entertainment elsewhere.
It is exactly what you described and my explanation focuses on a specific scenario to make it very clear why your reasoning is flawed. You can't just assert that it's possible to sell a stock in the future for the same price that you bought it for and that will magically come true, you have to observe what actually happens in reality and whether reality is consistent with your beliefs.

To better familiarize yourself with the literature, perhaps you can start with this seminal paper produced by the Federal Reserve:

https://www.jstor.org/stable/2962249

It looks at both the short term and long term impact of dividends and shows precisely that the marginal price of a stock drops by the amount of the dividend, meaning your premise that you can simply just sell the stock at a future date for the same price you bought it for is just not supported by the facts.

Whether you hold the stock and collect multiple dividends for 10 years or 10 days, the fundamental principle is the same: a stock with a marginal price of X that pays a dividend of Y will on average decrease in price by Y. Dividends produce no change in the overall net value of a portfolio, all a dividend does is convert one form of value into another, but no increase in value is ever produced.
For anyone else I'd be skeptical.
Oh man, you'd have a field day with [0]. It's packed with fascinating macro photos of insects.

That article straight lie. EU do not have priority in law matters over ours. That was a deal when we joined - every country have other, their own deal. So Guardian lays about "EU supremacy". Or play stupid, becouse G. owner them to do so. So called "jurnalism"...

Also current ruling power is pro-democracy - just look at all that protest and even anarchy demanding voices being tolerated. And compare to previous mafia that EU-owners so like - coruption and anti-own-nation moves like buying gas from Rossia with highest possible price! Right that was such a types. And that why EU-mafia likes them.

EU do not have anything to say in certain areas of our country - that was a deal and EU-mafia tries to abuse our rights. And is very vocal about their wishes.

Why we even have that "Commision" - thing with more power than EU Parliament ??? Seriously, we need to rebuild EU. Now.
The value is in providing accountability to the civilian world, even if we can’t have access to specifics for security reasons we can watch for any patterns of safety or diplomatic incidents or bother our representatives to go find out more info.
Same as it ever was. I bought a (Mac-licensed) Power clone (for about a grand less) in early 1997. It worked for 7 years without failure.

"Power Computing released upgraded models until 1997 with revenues reaching $400 million a year.... In September [1997], Apple bought the core assets of Power Computing for $100 million in Apple stock and terminated the Mac cloning business." [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_Computing_Corporation]

Over 30 companies had invested in making licensed Mac clones. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macintosh_clone]

The iMac I got to replace it had an (intermittently) faulty HD and within a year the display started to fail (for hundreds of users).

Amazon is here, and again they have a number of buildings in the Domain area. I think it might be their second or third largest site, behind HQ and possibly HQ2.

Of course Dell is here. Google doesn’t have much of a presence, yet.

There are lots of other companies that have massive presence here in Austin. Tesla is highly unlikely to be the biggest.
