It got posted to a community forum website also heavily frequented by Microsoft users and partner companies. That forum may have posts about customers or partner companies, so it makes sense to refer to Microsoft proper in this way.

Note that this isn't the main Microsoft blog, and in fact there are lots of different blogs.
That process solves for the problem of only wanting some updates. The new way you get all or nothing. The situation that you bemoan is exceedingly rare by comparison to updating in general. The point is probably moot though in light of the changes to Windows update over the years. There are plenty of reasons to hate on Windows, I think update is one of the few things that works reasonably well. The contents of those updates is another story.
It really is mindblowing when you think it actually happened 60 million years ago.

Does anyone know if this model supports USB boot? The previous ones did not, and since there’s no info about it in the official post, I assume that’s the case with Zero 2 as well.
>table with 40k rows

Oh I have one with 6K rows, 300ms to insert into a page if I try to measure, but in reality browser freezes for 3 seconds (1.8s style, 900ms layout, 300ms update tree). Freezing goes away with position: absolute, but it still takes 3 seconds to show up after .appendChild. I tried replacing Table with Flex divs, even worse speed.
Why the Metaverse Will Be Bigger Than Facebook and Google Combined
Historically there were CPU intensive operations, I assume to trade compute time for bandwidth. I am not sure how much of that still exists though since updates have become all-or-nothing blobs.
I use cheers and I think it's more versatile.

- got your fire drill and I'm handling it... Cheers (don't worry about it)

- won your business, thank you so much... Cheers (celebrate)

- scheduled a meeting for next week. looking forward to talking to you... Cheers

To say thanks after everything seems odd to me. Kind of means nothing in many contexts.

Cheers at least reinforces your tone and personality (assuming that's how you are) in really any context and how you conduct business.

I still use thanks of course to be thankful, but almost always close with Cheers.

The ? operator wasn't in Rust 1.0

Before Rust 1.12, Rust has a macro, named try! which does a similar thing to its argument although the built-in operator has some fancier features.

Well because they see science as a means to an end (political control), not an end in and of itself.

For example, epidemiology has this problem. Epidemiologists routinely publish supposedly scientific papers that are actually policy papers in disguise. Often these papers violate the scientific method in some major way. Nobody seems to care. They get published regardless. Here's an example:

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-021-95699-9#Sec7

It unashamedly cherry-picks the UK, Denmark and Sweden to try and argue that the UK/Sweden should have adopted Danish policy. Why not study all countries for which data is available? They easily could have done, the data is there. But they don't because if you do that you end up with a null result (no policy makes reliably makes any difference). So they cherry pick in order to be "informative" (as they put it) with respect to policy.
Minor addition/clarification, just in case:

> If the glyphs don’t exactly look like the Japanese result sample below, your code is displaying Japanese wrong.

Maybe exactly isn't the right term here; it doesn't need to be pixel-perfect, there are still different font faces just like with western languages, for example one that's supposed to make them look more natural or hand written and one for print, etc.

Also, afaict han unification was a mistake, but if you thought you only ever have 65535 code points available it might have been tempting.
That doesn't seem right.

I also have a PCIe NVMe boot drive, typically i don't even notice updates until i go to shut my PC down in the evenings and windows tells me it'd like a few mins to do the updates.

Same difference to me, i was shutting it down and walking away anyway
I haven't tested it out, but I will in just a moment.

Edit: Out of the box, it doesn't seem to do anything at all without a microSD card with a valid bootloader inserted. Checking if I can set program_usb_boot_mode

Edit 2: I set `program_usb_boot_mode=1` in /boot/config.txt, rebooted, and verified `vcgencmd otp_dump | grep 17:` output `17:3020000a`, but the Zero 2 W just sits if I don't have a microSD card inserted. No HDMI output, no attempt to run off USB (tried with two different flash drives).

With the microSD card and USB both plugged in, it boots off only microSD and the USB volume shows up as sda.

Oh right. I once made a layer on top of the redis client to use promises because callbacks are a pain to deal with.
> It depends how much you "learn from it" and then write your own code vs how much you copy/paste.

I think this is the crux. It doesn't matter that they used GPL code for training. It only matters if someone uses CoPilot to make a close copy of that code.

Fortunately Copilot is actually not commonly just copy/pasting. They did a study on that if you search for it (admittedly not an independent study but it's the only one we have).

> Why include that?

Because so many people are making the assumption that the law agrees with their overly simple interpretation before it's even been decided. It's a bit tedious.

I'm with you here. The bizarre, unexpected, possibly practically unusable result would be far more interesting than the very much expected P!=NP.

Maybe we're spoiled kids of modern TV shows and it shows in our expectations of a good cliffhanger or plot twist in modern science :D
That doesn't work. The scientific literature is already flooded with cheap theory papers and a clear absence of real heavy lifting. Such papers are routinely filled with basic errors or flawed methodologies. There's no embarrassment associated with not double checking, failed replications happen all the time and there are usually no consequences.

Yes they are, that is exactly what they are doing.

There is nothing natural about it. It wouldn't happen if not for the poachers.
In practice it does, if it will be rendered at all. Elsewhere on this very page you can find people suggesting storing the display locale alongside the unicode string, which is really the only way to solve this problem in the general case - but in that case you might as well store pairs of byte sequence and encoding, there's not much difference between that and unicode string and locale.
Not to diminish package managers, I don't think they are having to be quite as clever as Windows update, at least historically. I could be wrong, but I think they are more like dependency tree managers that also download and execute new installers.
I'm... confused as to what your interpretation of my comments here is. I'm explicitly stating that the issue isn't about people deciding they owe something to other people, or what the market decides the value of something is--it is about people in highly-leveraged positions who are currently able to waste resources or actively cause damage with some impunity because of the value their leverage allows them to provide.

I'm not making the suggestion that those who are wealthy should divest themselves of their wealth and donate it to charity, the point I'm intending to communicate is that such leverage shouldn't act as a pass to engage in unethical behavior.
> Instead of trying to band-aid globalization to make a minority rich, how about we reduce the need for so much international shipping in the first place?

I think the answer is here:

> Before the pandemic, through the pandemic, and really for the whole history of the freight industry at all levels, owners make their money by having low labor costs — that is, low wages and bare minimum staffing. Many supply chain workers are paid minimum wages, no benefits, and there’s a high rate of turnover because the physical conditions can be brutal (there aren’t even bathrooms for truckers waiting hours at ports because the port owners won’t pay for them.

Making the goods onshore won't change the desire to drive labor costs as low as possible. It doesn't matter whether we're talking about truckers or factory workers.

The American consumer wants more more more cheaper cheaper cheaper, and the people supplying the American consumer want as much profit profit profit as they can squeeze. This is always going to lead to a very unhealthy and unsustainable, and thus very vulnerable, supply chain.

The pandemic was the straw that broke the camel's back, but the camel wasn't in very good shape before the pandemic. We just didn't notice how bad the camel was.
I didn't bring up Hydroxychloroquine. My point was that it wasn't "alternative medicine" for the time it was authorized by the FDA.

“Paxos is one of the first and most celebrated ideas that laid the foundation for how different things come to an agreement asynchronously”

“Most—if not all—consensus algorithms fundamentally derive concepts from Paxos”

It's not well known (even in the field of distributed systems) that in fact Viewstamped Replication pioneered the field of consensus in 1988, a year before Paxos, with an intuitive algorithm essentially identical to Raft, so that Raft is more within the family and tradition of Viewstamped Replication (as is Multi-Paxos state machine replication) than the other way round.

Viewstamped Replication is significantly easier to implement correctly in the presence of real world storage faults, which formal proofs often do not take into account in their fault model. For example, Paxos and Raft proofs typically assume only pristine stable storage, and the correctness unfortunately rapidly breaks down when physical disks are used, since these may misdirect reads and writes.

UW-Madison have done some excellent research in this area in particular, the intersection of consensus protocol correctness and storage faults, and I would recommend reading "Protocol-Aware Recovery for Consensus-Based Storage" if you'd like to dive into some of this: https://www.usenix.org/conference/fast18/presentation/alagap...

Aleksey Charapko's DistSys Reading Group also recently covered Viewstamped Replication as a foundational paper, focusing on the crystal clear 2012 revision by Barbara Liskov and James Cowling, which I was able to present, covering some of our experience implementing the protocol for TigerBeetle, a distributed database with a strict storage fault model: http://charap.co/reading-group-viewstamped-replication-revis...

I think this page does a poor job of explaining that all 3 knives blade in the first example share the same code point in Unicode, but are to be displayed/rendered differently depending on which language it is shown as part of.

It is there in the text, but it’s almost hidden between the lines.

If I was a developer with no knowledge of Han characters or Han unification I would have to read two thirds of this article thinking I’m doing it right, so why am I reading this, e.g.: “but I am using the correct code point. It’s the character that the user entered!” or “I copy pasted it from a Japanese text, what do you mean I’m using the wrong character?” before reaching the “how to fix it” and even then I might not realize the root cause.

With that in my mind I might not even make it to the part about how to fix the problem and learn that I am using the right character/code point, but it is still displayed wrong.

It is a phenomenon that people that call themselves international and metropolitan cannot understand the reasons for the result. You can certainly disagree, but to not understand and helping to work alleviate the problems the is indicative of a pretty warped self-image.

A lot of EU promises have been broken by now and some countries wouldn't have joined under today's rules. Some countries are basically bribed to stay with money from taxpayers of other countries.

The immigration crisis just was the last straw and I believe we will see a repeat. If you know some French I recommend reading their press. The author might just discover yet another world.

I do think it is worth to fight for the EU or remain part of it. But it has to change. It also is plain wrong that some workers profit from the EU, that entirely depends on perspective, time frame and individual circumstances. It is a bit small minded to look away here in my opinion.

Well but Einstein wasn't an academic when he was doing his best work. After he became famous he became an academic in the USA and (I read somewhere) spent much of the rest of his life being quite depressed because he never again reached the epic highs he achieved in his 20s.
I'm an author of a book also published through Amazon Direct Publishing. I've documented how my book is put together with source code, so if you want to produce something suitable for self-publishing, have a look at:
https://github.com/faisalmemon/ios-crash-dump-analysis-book

I make very little money on the book itself because I have a free web-based version hosted on GitHub. However, I don't know how many sales I've foregone because of this.

Curious thing about it is that the GitHub analytics tells you how interested people are in your book. My in-progress book has much more interest just from the analytics. (The Road to Zero. This book explains how to develop your own zero day vulnerabilities for iOS.)

Another thing I think is important is to know the difference between a subject book and a topic book. Subject books provide a wide coverage for a domain. You can make a lot of money if it is a hit. Topic books drill just one detail but authoritatively and comprehensively, so gain you reputation rather than money.

For me, the pleasure is in the research and writing of a book, and having people read it. Professionally, I see it as advertising for my skills. I've landed a FANG role as a result and it certainly makes contracting for roles easier.

I agree the page is somewhat roundabout in its current state since I went from the background to the symptom to the fix. Open to suggestions on rearranging the article so that more devs can implement fixes.
OP is saying most of the harms come from illegality.

I'm pointing out that alcohol causes immense harms despite being legal, so likely other drugs too would still cause considerable harms when legal (even though yes, it's likely some, like cannabis, would be less harmful than alcohol almost no matter what total consumption settles on under legalization).

I was not arguing about why things are legal or not, only challenging the assertion that drugs aren't very harmful when legal.

> mechanical engineering group trying to design the best extremely thin keyboard they could, but getting bitten hard by a mismatch between reliability in a prototype

And this is why I believe more in the Ivy story than this one.

If you're a mechanical engineering group mismatch between prototype and production is MechEng 201 pretty much.

You wanna put out a new keyboard fine, but test the heck out of it. Let people have a go at it, put force onto it, spread some food on it, etc

Unless that mechanical group really think keyboards are a toy and don't need reliability, in this case they don't belong there
Good point. Will reword that part.
Headline is imo meaningless: with general relativity in play, does "at the same time" even have a well defined meaning?
Yes.

The plant parts which will eventually become green, when they will contain enough chlorophyll, pass through an initial stage that is either light green when they were initially white or yellow-green when they were initially yellowish (due to carotenoids).

Immature olives pass usually through a stage when they are yellow-green, but that stage may not last long.

I agree that using as a color term the name of something that may have a variety of colors, is not a good choice.

Nevertheless, the use of "olive" as yellow-green is entrenched in various domains, e.g. the yellowish green mineral that was called "topaz" by the Ancient Greeks (now topaz means something else) and which is called now "peridot" when in gem form, is also called "olivine", due to its color.

I got introduced to YAML back when I first got into Ruby on Rails. At first it seemed really cool, nice to read and write

Then I tried to use it in one of my own projects and immediatly ran into issues. Mostly that it was difficult to judge what data structures you would get.

Massively different syntax could result in the exact same structre, slight changes could make it something completely different. I just really didn't like it :/
One thing which I miss on RPis, especially these tiny ones, is a tty exposed via the charging USB.

I had someone tell me on the phone and email - "I kiss the ground you walk on". I thought it was just weird and it caught me off guard on the phone the first time.

Candidly - your colleagues most likely don't appreciate it as you do, whether they know the meaning or not.

As I'm sure you're aware, in some countries, servitude is the greatest honor. But in many, it isn't; it signals 1) that you are lesser than or 2) you are very malleable person who may make a good fall person or dirty deed underling or 3) they don't believe your words and just think it's kind of creepy

I really appreciate that some countries consider it an honor, and I don't know where or who you work with, but there's a very good chance that your favorite valediction is not only underappreciated, but not appreciated at all.

Hope that's not the case but your closing comment sparked me to be candid about it for consideration.

I've published a book on Go and one on Python on Leanpub with the "pay whatever you want model"

I got much more money + satisfaction via this and organic traffic + reddit posting than what a top publisher was going to give me for a book

They were going to give me 40k INR as upfront deposit and then some % on 1000 copies sold

Contrast that with Leanpub, 1000s have downloaded my Go book, most of them have for free, while some have paid. Win-win.

It is a big deal for me that 1000s have downloaded my book! Have received good feedback on email too from few. So overall, I love self publishing for technical publishing!
Wonder how well HN and my phone handles this. There are supposed to be Unicode code points that indicate which locale a character is supposed to be displayed in. If things are well thought out, my phone should add them automatically and HN should keep them and your browser should render it correctly

On an iPhone using,

Chinese simplified keyboard: 刃

Japanese keyboard: 刃

So that didn’t go very well. When choosing the character on my Chinese keyboard it is displayed with correct Chinese strokes but turns into the Japanese version in the text box. I’m guessing for most of you reading, both will appear Chinese.

EDIT: Someone better than me at wrangling unicode can maybe try out the variation selectors, and print the correct variations in a comment. I think it would have been neat if my keyboard ime did it for me :)

I'm a layman in genetics, but I believe the effect you described is what is known as Fisher's principle.

Basically, when using sexual reproduction, it _would_ be highly effective for the species to have many more females than males, since females are the bottleneck of population growth. However, if the sex ratio is skewed then any traits which increases the likelihood of male offspring will enjoy a reproductive advantage (because the male offspring will itself have more offspring than the females), spread through the next generation, and reduce the sex ratio, until it reaches the balance of 50/50. This applies whether the trait is dominant or regressive, etc.

So in this scenario, as the tuskless mutation spreads, the number of males decreases and the genetic advantage of having tusks grows, until it balances out the genetic disadvantage of losing females to poachers.
