No. Apple sells computers regardless, but now that "form over function" Johnny Ive has left Apple, Mac sales have actually shot up. People want their computer to look and feel good, but it still needs to function as a computer. Now that the actual functionality of the Mac is a priority again, they are selling better.

These periods of personal development are about personal skills rather than combat training, which you've already done by this point.

Thank you! Indeed GCC does not use SIMD here unless you set -O3 (... I seem to remember this enables some vectorization?) or allow it to use AVX with -mavx or -march=x86-64-v3.

There's some amount of boilerplate that is unavoidable, but, if you have the patience, `macro_rules!` type macros can help cut down on syntactical boilerplate in many cases.

Compared to C, and sometimes C++, there's generally less boilerplate in Rust. Compared to more traditional web languages, though, Rust will seem to have more boilerplate due to it's lower-level design.
I wish I hadn’t deleted my Twitter account and the related tweets so I could share with you the interaction I had on that platform regarding this situation. I was swarmed by those @amazon67284926728-type accounts that purportedly are workers (https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-56581266.amp) who accused me of trying to grift off the company. Drove me off Twitter because the (obviously baseless) accusations were too voluminous to deal with whilst dealing with major health issues and running a business.

I’m not making claims about production graphics algorithms, but this gets really interesting if you consider using quad trees to represent images rather than bitmaps.

The algorithm as presented turns the image into a quadtree as it works, for then re-flattens it. But if we store the image as a quadtree to begin with, we obtain other advantages:

1. We can memoize operations like rotation so that the algorithm goes much faster for images that have large blocks of a single colour or pattern;

2. We can write other operations that recursively apply to the image, like changing one color to another.

I think we need to be careful about what "this" is. The common person is probably referring to the implementation details of the system, while most engineers I've met (or what tech calls an engineer) only look at their immediate slice of the pie. It's your older or more seasoned folks that tend to watch over and integrate those pieces and watch over process, but details can get lost in the shuffle.

It really comes down to failure to cooperate with the regulator. Perception management is often times easier than proactive compliance. I keep dreaming one day I'll end up somewhere where I can get more than platitudes when people say "we're here to do it right, even if it is hard".

Translation from languages I don't know to English is fine with me.

Translation from well written text in languages I know to absolute garbage in my native language, that is what I hate.

Edit: I see you have a point. I missed the fact that GP was translating German to English.

I guess people who knows German slightly better than me (I can make myself understood and have used it as a working language for a very short while) will hate auto translated German almost as much as I and others hate autotranslated English, but not quite as much:

A lot of the problem with autotranslated text is that the physical thing or software we are supoosed to use still has English user interfaces so we are left trying to decode what the original text said.
Machine translation (and transcription) is better than nothing--especially for personal use. But it's pretty mediocre at best. So if you publish it as finished material I'd expect it to be treated like any other low quality content. You don't get some special pass because you're a "small website."

>This is incorrect, the GNOME foundation does not pay any developers.

That's not what I said, I said that there were several developers paid full time to work on Gnome. Mostly they're being paid for by other companies, companies like redhat.

>This is also incorrect. There was one year they brought in that much, and it was because of Handshake,

We seem to be disagreeing on public facts. In 2018 they brought in $1,073,797, in 2019 they brought in $915,646 and in 2020 the brought in $925,189.

For the past 3 years they've brought in nearly a million dollars in revenue.

If you're going to claim I'm wrong on such a basic and verifiable fact I don't really think we have enough common ground to have any sort of discussion, we're just living in different realities.

You also seem to be really misunderstanding what I'm saying, in the least charitable way possible. You're making a lot of very negative assumptions about not a lot of text, like claiming that I think a bunch of students should get a bad reputation because they worked on Gnome, which is just so out there that I don't understand how you'd reach that conclusion from what I've written.

Since we can't seem to communicate I don't see any point in continuing this, certainly if we did it would need a lot more structured of a format than this.

Well, digital zoom is doesn't add anything. Still a questionable defense but if you search on Google for "pinch to zoom interpolation" you will find countless news articles to exactly this topic.

I ask myself why do I even find these articles? Has nobody ever searched for interpolation algorithm for Apple? Results like this make me feel I live in FakeWorld®. Arstechnica has become abysmal, but a lot of other tech sites too.

Not that this is relevant to the argument of the defense at all. It is complete bollocks, but I still would like to know what interpolation method the zoom of the standard image app on iOS uses (standard, not multiple lens magic). Is this some corporate secret from Apple and nobody knows? At least the articles could have looked it up.

Aside from that there is merit to not resample an image and look at the "raw" data. Image forensics is regulated I believe and I don't know if they would accept Apple zoom either to be honest. That would be interesting to ask a professional, perhaps a real journalist could help here?

I think the case if high profile enough that you can send someone to buy the largest TV one could find.
Here in the South East, the local councils are approving housing all over the countryside to meet the governments housing targets - even though there is brownfield land that would make more sense - but that doesn't get the developers money.

What if every person who wants to "manage 70 children" has already swum upstream to somewhere with way more velocity of money? Driving a school bus to make some extra money is all well and good, unless all the would-be drivers are already working full time because they have expensive degrees, student loans, and a high opportunity cost to driving part time while staying home because their alternative of a full time salary is very lucrative.

Which is to say, maybe all the women who have typically had this skillset and inclination have been pushed into universities, and now "pay more" is $35/hr, not $19/hr.

Add to this that suburban schools of the types often built in recent decades take way more bussing infrastructure, and the driving would be way more stressful in those environments. If you're reading a story about someone idling their car in line for an hour, that's definitely the setting (where I grew up, it only took 10 minutes to bike home from school at child pace, so you'd just do that). So maybe you could put $20/hr and get enough people, but it's also a 40% increase in hours that have to be paid and similar increase in equipment costs.

"There's no reason to fly Ryanair unless you enjoy being treated like cattle, love filthy planes, like the thrill of the stampede to get a seat and the hordes of drunk people."

I mean there is also the whole 'order of magnitude cheaper than some competitors' thing they have going on. For a lot of people, it's worth being in a filthy plane treated like cattle for only an hour if it means they get to save £200.

There is certainly a reason why Ryanair carries more passengers every year than any other airline on earth.

> But, the judicial branch sure tells the legislative branch no far more often than the reverse

The court does not really interact with the legislature directly, to say Yes or No. The court interprets a body of laws, and won’t have an opinion on the validity of a law except insofar as it is in conflict with another law (such as the Constitution, or state laws in conflict with federal ones, or maybe just one law that’s inconsistent with itself).

Moreover, a the key function of the Supreme Court of the United States specifically is to resolve conflicts in interpretation in law in the lower circuit courts (as is relevant to actual ongoing disputes). If the law is clearly invalid, a lower court can decide that.

So yeah, if the law is obviously valid or uncontroversial, or even if it’s obviously invalid, chances are there’s just not any case brought before the Supreme Court. That’s just the default. They don’t affirm the validity of laws that often because most valid laws aren’t really challenged there.

People think of Canada as this pristine environment. But Southern Ontario is really bad too. Only 5% forest cover, and some areas as low as 3%. And it has to do with the land being flat, and great for farming. So pretty much everything was cut down. If they just left a narrow strip of a connected forest would have been great for wildlife. But nope.
> Had they stuck to their principles—that race discrimination is wrong, that people should be judged as individuals and not as racial groups—we would have far fewer problems on campuses today.

The problem is, the whole issue is inherently paradoxical. If you assume race is a social construct, it makes no sense to discriminate against any skin color, whether it is a majority in a given country or not. But if you decide to implement certain race-related policies, you automatically validate the concept of race. Still, for some reason we have decided to hold both those mutually-exclusive positions.

The high cpu usage is essentially the evidence for running certain power-saving measures that "look" like the task is using a lot of CPU time (it does, sleeping the cpu).

There's similar behaviour on linux but it shows as specific kernel threads related to intel power throttling, so it's more obvious what's happening.

USGS!! The amount of benefit they give to the public and the data they make available for free, used by every weather station, civil engineer, surveyor, geologist, etc. etc. relative to their budget is insane! And so much of it is mission critical life-and-death stuff.

No doubt about that. But I think most people, who would buy a Mac specifically to run Linux on it, wouldn't see a Mac without Linux as an alternative, they would just get some PC hardware. If they buy a Mac for Linux, they might try out MacOS too and that would be an opportunity for Apple to expand the user base.
Yeah, I really like the middle ground approach, but having tried almost everything in the category, my favourite by a long margin is Unpoly.
This article is completely London-centric. The Thames runs 50 miles east of London, and most of that reach is non-tidal (e.g. there are no seals or avocets in Oxford).

That non-tidal reach is pretty polluted - there are small fish (I've seen fishers pull out perch the size of a hand), but unfit to eat, because of the low water quality.

[Edit] There are herons, mallards, and lots of greylag and canada geese on the non-tidal Thames. I've occasionally seen water-voles; but never an otter. I guess the fish must be OK for herons to eat.
Perhaps a hot take but I see this as a good thing. Today people tend to blindly trust videos and photos. If we get to a world where deepfakes are the norm, nobody will trust anything. we’ll need some cryptographically secure mechanism for verifying images haven’t been tampered with.
For me personally, it's another 80/20 problem. We've gotten our 80% result for 20% the effort/cost and now we're into the 80% of the effort/cost for 20% of the gain territory. At least with our current level of technology.

Meanwhile, I think there are other causes that haven't hit that inversion yet. 88,000 people die from diabetes each year. If we've got money that we're willing to splash on preventing deaths, why not take the easy win and have the government pay for everyone's insulin? There's no risk to privacy, no dubious "will this prevent me getting to work when I'm sober" questions, and no questions about efficacy.

If the goal is to prevent death, this seems like one of the most dubious methods of getting there. There are 17 million new cars sold in the US per year. If we're conservative on pricing and say it costs $10/car to add this, that's $170,000,000/year, or roughly $17,000 per prevented death. $17,000 a lot. That's health insurance premiums for like 3 families for a year. That's nearly a 5 year supply of the most expensive insulin on the market. That's enough to send someone to rehab.
Recall the Time Before, when AOL was based on a DOS/GeoWorks client for most users? I heard some stories about the totality of access they had to those clients that were scary.

The guy telling me this story had some credibility from his work history; and an astounding collection of candid amateur porn and "famous people data". Every journalist used SideKick to keep their contacts, apparently. Fun times.

There were persistent stories, then; that AOL officially scraped clients for addresses to send "free Trial" disks to. Those were officially denied. They carefully didn't talk about what employees might be able to access "on their own" and didn't ask much about where their "prospect" mailing lists came from, either.
Plenty of new stuff does this. As long as youre not .net or javascript nobody scrutinizes the trash work developers charge money for.
they absolutely can. Glibc's NSS (https://venam.nixers.net/blog/unix/2020/11/01/resolving-a-ho...) won't work and that's a good thing because putting domain name resolution in libc was a braindead idead from the very beginning.

Domain name resolution behaviour should be program-controllable, not system-controllable (and thankfully we are starting to see a bit of sanity with web browsers which do bypass libc's domain name resolution) and especially not plug-in based which causes BS like things working differently whether avahi is installed or not.

Note however that this will only work for simple non-gui apps. GUI apps generally need to load opengl drivers (which are shared objects) - thus you'd need to choose at link time which GL driver you want to use... which is not a practical thing to do.
