It’s possible that changing the pointer setting and changing it back could help.

It is also possible that your MBP is too old to run Monterey smoothly. I’ve noticed that my 2017 MBP (base model CPU) is noticeably slower with common tasks like spotlight.

I’m sure apple is optimizing for their own chips these days, and they don’t mind if this results in worse performance on Intel machines. It’ll speed up the upgrade cycle, which is good for them (and bad for us).

Togo!

I did my very first class report in 5th grade in 1986 on Togo!

We had to pick a country in Africa to look up and do a report on, I chose Togo, and while sadly the Togo Ministry Of History will not be able to receive a copy of my report, as its been sealed in my archives which are under audit...

Every single time I see Togo, I think back on that report and learning about Togo.

Looks like I still have more to learn about Togo.
This worker might be cheaper depending on how heavy your app is (eg. how many requests this worker triggers on) versus Access if you have >50 users.
it's called "tempering", tempering and annealing are somewhat similar processes.
It can be done using WebRTC with something like snapdrop.net. Still requires both devices being able to connect to their signaling server, but at least it works on every device, doesn't require you to install something, it's peer to peer, and open source.
Wow, it's so cool to see this post. I was just watching the digital design class from ETH Zürich and they went through Rowhammer (repeated three times) and I was wondering if the industry had solved anything and I suspected not based on their explanations. Now I wish I was actually sitting in class even more.

I highly recommend that series by the way.[1] It's not just an architecture class because it's actually pretty up to date and highly focused on security.

Quit and just don't put the role on your resume. Tell people you took a month off. Recruiters will mostly see that as a positive. Being in a position to take time off between roles impresses people for some reason.
What housing contract comes with any stipulation about zoning? The “promises” you talk about are pure imagination. When you buy a house, you buy the land it sits on (and perhaps some level of air rights), nothing more, nothing less.

What you’re talking about is nonsense. The municipality is in charge of zoning and these people are using their political power to enrich themselves, plain and simple.

Also, how is building an apartment building akin to a garbage dump? Wherein my previous statement was it implied I didn’t care about the environment? All we are talking about is allowing new houses to be built where there already are houses…
No one is stopping you from writing your C++ inefficiently if you choose to. I am skeptical that spending a bit of time thinking about ownership/lifetimes is really such a big hit to productivity.
Yeah HE is a totally different security model. It moves all the trust out of the hardware. You ship encrypted workloads to an untrusted party, who computes on the encrypted data and returns an encrypted result. Then you decrypt the result to use it.

And yeah, this is just as inefficient as you'd think.
Storing objects of any size is common, because Python objects are rarely fixed size (Python integers aren't fixed size!)

At that point, you need pointers anyway, so mixed type doesn't add much overhead. Especially given that you need to handle mixed concrete types even if you have single “typechecking” types because of inheritance (including via declared ABCs and union types.
Technically, I think it is pidgin. They have no common (sign) language, so they have come up with a scheme for communication that isn't a language.

As I tried pretty hard to make very clear, I scrolled around a lot, both the canvas and the assembled pieces, to rule out this possibility.

BTW, only tangentially related, I also tried pinch to zoom early on while solving (no joy) and I think it would be a nice feature.
If the Deaf team are using sign language to communicate with each other, then no it is not pidgin because American Sign Language is a language. Pidgin is a lingua franca like Gestuno (International Sign) and Esperanto.

EDIT: If you are talking about Deaf Team and Hearing Team (people with hearing ability for those folk who are not familiar with Deaf communities jargon) attempt to communicate with each other without sign language, then yes it can be a pidgin. If the Deaf Team itself communicating with their teammates, then it is not a pidgin because they switch to their native language to express.
Hmm... those seem like pretty shallow interpretations of his research.

NFT's would seem very, very interesting, except one little detail...

Their current core utility is url-forwarding. So, i have to pay to see the desination url/data ? No ?

In the real world artists voluntary pay a fee to online-marketplaces/auctions/record-labels which in turn provide them with (in order of preference)

a) a secure marketplace (one that only delivers the goods AFTER payment has been processed, not before)

b) an anti-piracy service.

c) marketing/exposure

With NFT not only doesn't 'a' nor 'b' exist, they're of net-negative value, in turn they seem to have an infinite amount of c.

Thus, for an artist the only likely positive outcome with NFT's is exposure/marketing.

I left one charm out. Royalties. You can't collect royalties when the asset is essentially freely distributed.
Definitely not a cop. Probably just a stripper! ;)

No, Iris scans are used in the Aadhaar ecosystem during enrollment. But for authentication usecases (such as ration disbursement) - it is almost exclusively OTP/fingerprint verification.

Iris scans can be used, but are rarely used in practice anywhere except enrollment due to the higher cost of devices, the "creepyness factor", and speed of usage.
This isn't practical advice for most people and a significant fraction of the people affected are not looking at anything like a 3x pay cut, especially when you factor in the significantly greater amount we pay for healthcare, which parents will likely use more than they previously did.
Ok, I admit the edit could have been done better. I'll stop pursuing this path :).

However, it was downvoted before the edit for expressing an unpopular, but IMHO factually justified (i.e. anti-natalist) position. I think that was a fair point to make in a discussion of paid parental leave. Again, I don't care about points. I want to hear from people who disagree with the original comment ;)
> Libertarians have effectively zero say in US politics generally.

The Republican party is inundated with Libertarian philosophy. Even the Democratic party is often forced to go along.

> Houston has seen an increase in population from 3.8M in 2000 to 6.4 M in 2020 and has a median house price of $285K.

Yes, Houston is probably the best example of a libertarian city in the world. Most of us don't want to live there, but someone obviously does.

The irony is that Singapore has a public housing fix to their problem, but is also often touted as being a very economic libertarian city state.
Pretty sure yes.
I’m curious what were the dietary sources of salt say earlier than 10 thousand years ago. There’s the argument that goes “people never ate salt in modern quantities so evolutionary speaking this is a new shock to the system”. Do we actually _need_ all the extra salt we’re consuming nowadays? Is it good/neutral/bad for us?

The concept of one store per service was mainly introduced with micro services to try to fix problems with SOA. Old SOA systems typically have a single data access layer.
I replied to another comment related, but the anti- version of modernism is of course post-modernism, where nothing is real and everything is mainly its symbolic value. The conceit of that argument is that aesthetics are somehow trivial because anyone can appreciate them but very few can produce them - whereas you take anything post-modern and everyone can produce them but almost nobody can appreciate them sincerely.

The unspoken but founding lie of post-modernity is that criticism is equivalent to competence, and that critics are the equals of performers, but there's just all this false consciousness standing in the way that we can solve by indoctrinating people into narrative anyway. The whole enterprise is predicated on this original deception, and once you have accepted that, you can accept anything, which is why I think they teach it to undergrads.

The authenticity of "primitive" art as being a reaction to the skill and western artifice remains controversial, as if the art does not express the skill of the artist, what does it represent? Not everything has to represent something, but art is purely representation, so if it's not representing skill, there isn't a lot left.

There is certainly an anti-competence movement borne out of critical theories that need for competence to be isolated, as competence and risk are sources of truth themselves* and this physical truth competes with critical narrative, so on this, I don't know that it's a bridgable gulf.

This may be the most important part:

I think po-mo thinkers exist in a simulation founded on that base deception, and they try to convince others that their story (made of language!) is the substrate of our reality, but every time someone gets on a motorcycle, skis down a mountain, prevails over an MMA opponent, hunts food, rides a horse, jumps out of a plane, has sex for pleasure, or has some other peak human experience, the simulation disappears. All the neuroticism that forms the hall of mirrors of false equivalencies, evaporates, and what remains is gravity and time, the physical and the real, and our aesthetic experience of it.

That era has not ended, I'd argue criticism is just telling stories in a very shallow tide pool of history.
If everybody’s interpretation of reality is an illusion, how do we know that consciousness is not all an illusion?
I don't think comparing a car to a bird is a good comparison. Compare the bird to a glider. The world record appears to be 3000km without a power source (except for the launch, obviously). Surely as a bird or a plane you can take advantage of lifts, i.e. warmer air rising up, then just glide.

PG hasn't changed in those respects. He was always interested in everything (well, a lot of things - I've never heard him care about music, for example) and always had the style you're talking about, which has always rubbed some people the wrong way for whatever reason.
This reminds me of the bison on Catalina Island.

"! Fourteen American bison were brought to Catalina in 1924 for the making of the Zane Grey film The Vanishing American. After all that effort, the footage of the Bison didn’t make the final cut, and they do not appear in the movie. When filming was completed, the production company left the animals behind! "

After 30 years of architecture based on RDBMS, it's my opinion that _starting_ with a relational model ends up hiding and obfuscating business functionality at the expense of relational paradigms.

I didn't say relational databases are bad. I said it was an anti-pattern. In my mind, relational databases should be mostly used in data warehouses, reporting, and analytical systems.

Transactional systems are better suited to document databases and CQRS.
It's not just banks. Google Maps will refuse to work if you're running OS X Lion, even if you're using a fully up-to-date version of Chromium[1] which is just as capable as any other Chromium-based browser on any other operating system.

Google Maps work perfectly on Lion if you fake the user agent, because of course it does, it's a web app and the underlying OS is irrelevant.

In many cases these system may process millions or billions of dollars of transactions a day. They may be a specification or there may not be and there are probably a dozen corner cases that are not specified. Nobody wants to be the one who decided to replace it with a shiny kube cluster running node js or something and then have it all go up in smoke and losing money, customer, reputation.
This is probably a native question, but: could this sort of attack be prevented by having the physical values be trivially encrypted version of the logical values? I’m thinking something as simple as:

$value XOR f(memory address, random number etched onto chip)

Maybe they were super smart and foresaw side-channel being such a big problem.

Not much, but the design of these things is incredible. I spent 20 years managing the operations for the ground processing of this data in North America. We worked closely with the transmitter manufacturers to certify them for use with the system (https://www.argos-system.org).

Evolution isn’t “one and done”, so really most animals that survived today are the current ultimate version of themselves. Some animals are in the middle of evolutionary leaps, and some individuals might have “bad” versions of certain genes are a result.
Maybe OS's or hypervisors should support a mode where different processes/security domains are forced into contiguous blocks of physical memory with buffer zones between. Especially for cloud computing, pre-allocating memory to different VMs should be reasonable. I could even see browsers taking advantage of it, given that they already force javascript threads into per-domain processes for Spectre/Meltdown protection.
I do not dispute that it is annoying, just saying that if you leave out the word Bitcoin it’s a story people on the other side of the world really aren’t going to care.

A few years ago, I was dealing with some issues around anxiety, so I made a little app for myself to track my daily activities against my mental health (in the form of 3 assessments [0] measuring depression, anxiety, and well-being)

I spent about 9 months logging, and found these to be the top 5 activities that improved my overall happiness:

- 1. Strenuous exercise (e.g. going hard at the gym, playing a sport, taking a dance class, etc.) was a clear winner. (Going for a walk or doing light bodyweight exercises at home helped a bit, but not nearly as much.)

- 2. Creative activities (e.g. writing, playing music, programming), particularly when I could get into a "flow" state.

- 3. Reading long-form content (for at least 20 mins).

- 4. Meditating (for at least 5 mins).

- 5. Spending time with close friends (as opposed to e.g. going to parties with acquaintances).

A lot of these things are fairly obvious (and may also vary a bit by personality type) but being able to see concrete, quantifiable results made it much easier to adopt habits that made me happier in the long run!

Yes, but just below it is a good account of transactional autocracy. Written from the US, what’s notable is that they fail to mention Manafort in the context of transactional autocracy. That’s the kind of omission that happens when there are consequences to printing it.
"it would be pretty easy for the players to just have a few codes which change the meaning of the signals."

And then every time Edge updates it displays a modal dialog that tries to bully me into changing the default search engine to Bing. It feels like Windows gets more user-hostile with every update.

All of the effort that Microsoft has put into things like WSL and Docker integration to make the platform compelling to web application developers is undermined by these tactics. I'm getting really tired of playing whack-a-mole with all of the shady growth hacking that is built directly into the operating system. It bothers me enough that I'm ready to either switch to a Mac or go back to Linux.
There is definitely such a thing as good taste.

I used to work in ultra-high end restaurants (think World's 50 Best). All the cooks are incredibly skilled. But only a small amount of them make good chefs, usually the ones who travel and eat out lots themselves. Many simply had no idea what ingredient combinations are good or bad, even if they could execute a recipe extremely well. I did make it as a chef, ish, got some awards, but the economics are tough, I took a few breaks to travel and go back to school. Working on a few other things. I still do consulting for restaurateurs I know just because I can.

When you look at the top of the top chefs, the difference comes down to taste. They all have the same skills. The best simply make better combinations.
Tier 1 cities haven't, but Tier 88 cities have been. Actually, since the red families control most of the real estate companies, they often just prevent you from selling (real estate agents won't show your house) rather than risk scoring a "loss in real estate value." So in China it is better to look at sales volume rather than sale prices.
Yes, but in that case "irresponsibility" becomes less of individual character failings and more of a society-wide issue that requires society-wide solutions. People do not receive sufficient financial education. [0] There are is too much cheap credit and major institutions desire it. [1] They are too enticed to consume. [2] Basic costs of living have risen sharply [3] while wages have not. [4] When all of this is considered, it is clear that the aggregate problem is less irresponsibility, and more that Americans are simply being pushed to their limits from every direction, by structures and systems that are stacked against them.
