Well, getting the hardware (manufacturers) to tell you what the hell it (their stuff) is doing is always a problem and even extremely complicated designs and massive marketing efforts like USB only kind of solve the problem for the most common of the common cases, but that’s kind of a truism.

Re you second point, I originally wanted to say something like “fonts aren’t, renderers are”, but in the meantime I read the Raster Tragedy[1] and it seems like the answer to your question is quite literally yes, hinting bytecode is in fact designed for a subpixel grid with a 1:3 aspect ratio (mostly by virtue of the font designer writing and checking it by feel using one). Shoehorning outline fonts and WYSIWYG layout onto low-resolution (≤ 150 dpi or so at 10 pt) displays is that much of a hack, and now I really, really want it to die, all the complaints about elitist designers notwithstanding. (That I find 200- and 300-dpi tablets and phones much more pleasant to work on is a mere coincidence, I assure you.)

After the Holodomor: The Enduring Impact of the Great Famine on Ukraine (2014)
You start with BLAS being a factor 2 off, and then go to PETSc, and are another couples of factors off, and then the actual app the scientist wrote, which many use all of the above and the kitchen sink, where every piece and the pieces they use are all a couple of factors off, and then your scientist app is at 0.01% of peak.

If you have used Sierra since the beginning, we have seen significant performance increases over the years, because the people using it have actually been discovering and then either getting IBM to fix, or fixing themselves, most of the software.

Compared with Power 10, I'd say that Power 9 is "mainstream" (many clusters available), and from the Power 9 CPUs in existence, IBM's are the most mainstream of them all.

Take the Power 10 ISA, build your own CPU that significantly differs from IBM's, and good luck with optimizing all the software above. It can be done, and dumping it on a couple of HPC sites where then scientists and staff won't have any change but to use it for 4-6 years is a good way to get that done.

But for a private company that just wants to deliver value, ARM is just a much better deal, cause it saves them from having to do any of this.
I think this paper describes a similar scenario: for one season in France a rhinovirus successfully delayed the propagation of influenza A in children by virtue of getting there first. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20121829/
Goruck backpacks. They remain unbelievably comfortable with heavy loads, last forever and the clamshell design makes them easy to pack and more importantly find your stuff. The only backpacks I will buy anymore.

I've been using the gr1 26L for work, grocery shopping and travelling for 5 years.

The gr2 and gr3 are excellent travel bags when you need something bigger. Only backpacks of that size that I have found comfortable to carry with just shoulder straps.
Yeah yeah, I read the news too. I'm not going to go into my personal experience, but from my time there knowing political actors, I followed the Houthi rebellion and southern secession movement, and the Iran connection very closely. The link had always been tenuous and was cynically and successfully played up by Saleh to gather billions in Saudi and US financial and military aid, before he switched sides and was killed before he could switch back. Until that point the evidence pointed to the Houthis purchasing weapons from a corrupt Yemeni military. Saleh was Zaydi, a fact conveniently overlooked by the media in an attempt to lazily drive a Shia vs. Sunni narrative that people ate up bought. There is only evidence of Iran getting involved after the Houthis took Sana'a, where as KSA had been destabilising the Houthi border region, funding Salafists and building extremist madrassas for decades before then. That's not even in dispute.

"But (KSA) have much less of a will to export "the revolution" to other places - unlike Iran. They kinda mind their own business most of the time." This is laughably ill informed. They've built over 10,000 new Hanbali, Salafist Wahabi madrassas in Pakistan over the past 50 years. Sent extremist imams everywhere from the Philippines, Indonesia, Mali, Bosnia, UK, the Netherlands. Backing the Janjaweed and ISIS affiliated groups around the world. You don't like an Islamic Caliphate? ISIS's principle enemy was not the US, not Israel but Iran which fought them with existential zeal in Iraq. Ignore the posturing, check the last time Iran actually invaded a country. Educate yourself. Stop just repeating the news.

Soo just how is the statement "They are bombing innocent Yemenis who have ZERO connection to Iran" contradicted by anything you've added? It's just a fact, as is the fact that KSA also bomb militants, using them and Iran as the pretext to do whatever they want, including using economic warfare against one of the poorest, hungriest populations in the world.

It's the standard 'but they're killing the bad guys' guilt-by-association, collective punishment line you seem strangely prepared to toe as a justification for brushing off the well documented bombing of innocent civilians. That mindset is probably the single biggest perpetuator of human rights violations on all sides in the Middle East. The casual cruelty of that and the ignorance are bad enough, but to then actively say "As long as it is what it is selling stuff to Saudi Arabia doesn't sound super terrible.", brushing off criticism of both the KSA and those making a buck off the situation, is abhorrent.

You'll happily buy the old, and false, pick-your-poison, brutal dictator vs. extremist Islamism dichotomy that lets you overlook human rights by "our sons of bitches", even while knowing how obviously bad that has worked out until today. But sure, you're "prioritising it within reason". Please. That's just the easy way out.

I don't want to be harsh but you don't seem to be well informed, reasoned or particularly concerned with ethical choices on this issue. Don't think I have much more to add.
flippers make the real estate market more liquid, in the same way high-frequency trading does for stocks.

Flippers take the risk of the market falling while they're flipping - that's the price they pay for their profits.
It's amazing to see the Aeropress being mentioned so many times (11 so far), compared with the Kindle (8 times), iPhone (22 times), iPod (12 times).
"I wish you were here." is grammatically correct in English. And yes it is the "subjunctive mood". Its meaning is closer to "I wish for you to be here" than "I wish you had been here".

This random page I found on the internet has a pretty decent explanation of the subjunctive:

So how would you have preferred it to be phrased? "people with normal vision" or "normal visioned people"? vs the more terse "normal people" for which the context of vision can be easily inferred.
"There is a very clear reason why it was chosen. That's why we use the word anomaly too - it isn't chance!"

So it is propaganda. The official definition of temperature anomaly is just "distance to an average".

There was temperature variation before industrialization, for example mini ice ages, so simply showing there is a temperature difference to some small period of time in the 19th century is not sufficient to show there are "anomalies".
There are also some third parties which utilize the fact that transfers within the same bank are instant - they have bank accounts in all of those and a settlement system built on top of that. You transfer the money to them, and then they send a transfer directly from the bank of recipient. It's nearly instant, but has some limits to it (several thousand euros).

In fact it's quite jarring when you have companies try to do something in Polish market and they don't do basic research into payment methods.

Take for example Luxxotica - I was buying some glasses as a gift yesterday, and they support two payment methods:

- card payment

- PayPal

Paypal hasn't been popular for years with all the other alternatives, and many people are wary of using cards to buy goods over the internet. In fact my card payment was blocked (which essentially never happens in any other methods) and I went to buy the glasses physically at a reseller.
That's kosher

Writing has no laws, only rules meant to be broken

English is also a descriptivist language, rather than prescriptivist. ie English has no spec, unlike French (tho you then have French as it is spoken & French as it is specified). As much as Oxford might want to reign it in, they are only cataloging what the collective spews

This $14.88 pair of wireless Bluetooth headphones from Walmart's ONN brand. You'd swear you spent $1000 on a pair of Grado cans. I don't know why they're so good, but they are. I bought 3 pair for backup in case the first fails. I'm convinced it's a COVID anomaly, like upscaling because you can't source cheaper parts, or something similarly unusual.

I agree, I think they realized it wouldn’t work and made a hard decision to save the company.

Zillow realized the only time their ask was hit is when it was at a premium to the actual market price. If they used competitive offers, they’d never have the winning bid. In a hot market where you’re offering a premium, you’re going to have owners of lower quality properties accepting your offer, while owners of higher quality properties have more offers to select from.

Zillow got left holding a bag of lemons and decided to get out before buying the whole lemon grove.
It isn't clear whether his advice here is just humor. This article goes on to explain that he uses semicolons in his own work, even in places where he didn't need to.
Less than 10 years ago I had to write practically the same thing for an active "industrial" user... and I'm quite sure they are still using it.
Haskell is held back by pushing category theory into their tutorials. Want to do IO? Great, first learn about monads.
I highly recommend Barbell Medicine's content. Their youtube channel has tons of videos with science backed information for training and dealing with pain, specifically back pain.

Austin Baraki is an advocate for the biopsychosocial model of pain that the parent post is effectively evidence of. I would love if more people read his "Aches and Pains" article: https://startingstrength.com/article/aches-and-pains
It contains a lot of surprising information regarding the efficacy of common treatments for pain - and r great argument for why pain is more complicated than a or b being out of alignment.

My advice would be to learn as much about pain, self efficacy, catastrophizing, the nocebo effect, etc. from the Barbell Medicine crew - and if you have the money do a pain and rehab consultation with them. I sincerely think their team is THE best in the world.
People would probably suggest regulation or taxes to “fix” the problem but I think the root of the issue is artificially low interest rates, freewheeling lenders (again), and the fact that there are few other places to deploy your money and get some yield. There is also the tax benefits of owning income properties which should probably be looked at.
>> No exposed propellers and a frame build from composite materials means the Dronut® is tough and ready for duty.

"Duty" - presumably that means it's meant for use by imilitary or police forces.
What the fuck no it is not the same. Stabbings are murder. At the very least you can argue with Kant's imperative that you shouldn't do what you don't want others to do to you. It seems to me agreeing not to poach other companies employees is more in the line with Kant's imperative. If anything, poaching other companies employees would be more like murder. Society seems to already have realized that, that is why they call it "poaching".
You'll have to educate me then: is more liquid better for the buyers or sellers?
The answer is to reduce regulation.

The process of building new structures is filled with so much regulatory friction that it is impossible for the average person to even consider building their own home.
Yes, there seem to be many different causes and just as many random internet tips. I'm glad you figured out how to help your back.

My daughter injured her back, she's a competitive power lifter; I was worried because of my own experiences. The causes and successful remedies of her pain were completely different than mine, and her back is now healed.

Go to an expert indeed!
Here is a site[0] of the National Museum of the Holodomor-Genocide[1], a state museum that preserves the memory of Holodomor victims and highlights the history of the genocide of the Ukrainian nation in 1932-1933.

The museum is a center of commemoration of millions of Ukrainians killed during the Holodomor.[2]

On September 4, 2020, the Holodomor Research Institute, a branch of the National Museum of the Holodomor Genocide, launched its official website.[3,4]

Quite frankly the practice of requiring bank credentials from consumers should be entirely banned via some laws. It pries on gullible people.

"costed" is proper when referring to the past action of determining the price for something to purchase. "Last week Sheila costed out the parts list, so it should be accurate."

"priced" is proper for both the past actions of determining the price of something to purchase or something to sell.

"Last week Sheila priced out the parts list, so it should be accurate."

"Last week Sheila priced everything on the shelves."

>Vaccines target a spike protein specifically...
Natural immunity targets the whole virus, so whatever immune-escape such a virus evolves, it would have to be far more comprehensive

A virus avoiding spike antibodies would have an advantage whether these antibodies were 'natural' or not, so it's far from clear natural immunity wouldn't lead to the same mutations - all the VOCs hail from mostly unvaxed countries, which leads to the suspicion that it does.

Sure, the 'naturally immune' sick people having extra N-targeting antibodies would be in an advantage vs the virus, but the cost of that is having a real corona infection earlier on, with all the risk simply being frontloaded.

* EDIT: the Chinese vaccines are inactivated virus vaccines. One wonders whether they fare better or worse vs this variant. Then again, maybe this variant will fail to transmit effectively and will just kill itself off like Beta did.
> It's a continuous game.

This is what most profit seeking strategies can miss. Their designers (consciously or not) can't help but to stop thinking through their plan at the profit step and just assume "rinse and repeat" forever after.
> If you agree with the media's interpretation, good for you.

This sentence is rather condescending, and I believe it reveals something of your true intention here that you refuse to admit.

There is something about Peng Suai’s post that you believe exonerates Chinese officials or the Chinese government in some way, but you are unwilling to explain what it is for some reason.

> It's not up to me (or the media) to decide what interpretation is right: it's up to each individual.

Humor me. What is the alternate interpretation of these events that you believe is missing from western media reports? What are the different interpretations that people may arrive at other than “the media’s interpretation” as you put it?

> Letting people read the original post allow people to individually determine whether they agree with the media's interpretation.

You seem not to agree with the “media’s interpretation”. Why not? Why in your opinion would anyone disagree with the media’s interpretation of events after reading Peng Shuai’s post?
The real story is that Harry Markopolos sent a 21-page memo to the SEC regulators, entitled "The World's Largest Hedge Fund is a Fraud".

In it where 30 red flags that he believed proved Madoff's returns could not be legitimate. But nobody could even understand it. Its was no fault of an AS/400

29 here (still young). i am also way more productive from home, particularly because my job involves external devices which cant easily be ferried back and forth. The company i work for would see a drop in income i generate if i was forced back, 1 hour commute both ways, no lunchtime fitness habit, no time for morning wellness habits, and i wouldnt be able to put in an extra hour comfortably while i make food or wait for CI builds. All these would negatively affect my performance.

agreed to socialization, i dont need daily face to face socialization with those i work with, we already slack and chat while we work.

im against full/part time return to office, the only thing i would consider is optional social event days once a month or so (previously we had work events for all sorts of seasonal events) id go in for those sometimes, just to socialize with my fellows.
The answer is to build houses and print money to buy them with.

If houses were a (much) smaller bet for the buyer, there would be more flexibility to build houses where demand exists and a faster, lower-drama exit for people who don't like the changing nature of their in-demand neighborhood.

The inertia created when people have their life savings tied up in their house perpetuates the problem of affordability, by making the areas that have the most mismatched supply vs demand the least likely to deal with the problem.
Can you provide a single case to support your position? You can’t ask someone to prove a negative. But you have told us this this is happening “often”. In fact it’s so prevalent you can’t even imagine an alternative conversation.

You presented a specific conversation. Did you hear that conversation personally? If not, who told you this conversation happened or where did you read about it happening? I’m not doubting you, I just want to get more hard facts into this thread.

You said that teacher associations have “often” written this into their “agendas” so it’s not a conspiracy theory. What are these associations and do you have a copy of these agendas into which they have written this? Since it happens often and it’s written down, you should show us and we can have a more substantive discussion about what they actually wrote versus your interpretation of what they wrote.
> Those horrors includes personal and mob violence, lynchings, rapes, other random murders, institutionalised economic apartheid, privilege (and its close ally, corruption), the reduction of public debate to reactionary dogwhistles instead of future substance - and ultimately, with tedious predictability, torture and mass murder.

Those are real problems, yes. But it should still be allowed to question the solutions people claim to have to those problems. The author here claims that you shouldn't be allowed to question solutions, if you do then you are evil and should get rejected by society.
Okay? So we still seem to have an accurate representation of the image we want. Why can't I just download that and what's the point of the rest of the data. If we already are seeing the image, the rest of the data is pointless no?
My Honda Element. It’s so versatile with the large side loading doors and the flip down removable back seats. You can toss a bike inside easily. It also is surprising short and has a small turning radius. I put 200000 miles on my first one before buying a second. Not a great looker though.

Yes, you are wrong to hate flippers. You are wrong to hate anyone who is working hard to make an honest living. Yes, flipping is hard work.

All successful work probably displaces someone else in some way. If you're good at your job, you're "denying" that job to someone less skilled. If you work in software, you're automating things that would require more labor if done manually. Fortunately, humans can pivot.

Either hate everyone, or hate no-one. You can't just hate flippers.
predictable apoplectic responses in the NYT comments...what these people don't get is that what they perceive as "TX" is coming to their cities, the complete opposite of what people suggest is a "blue wave" in TX (which does not exist, look at Beto's dismal poll numbers when he entered the Governor's race last week).

NY, Portland, LA, Seattle, SFBay...all places where crime is up and citizens (including typical NYT demographics) are seeking to own firearms. Sorry NYT readers, Plano is coming to Manhattan, not the other way around

Basically the COMEX changed the rules explicitly to disadvantage the Hunt Brothers. The changes made to margin requirements is what made the difference here. I don't think anyone could claim that the silver market is an entirely free market, I remember last year a press release where the COMEX said they weren't sure how much they actually had in their vaults in eligible and registered, with a plus/minus 50% figure being given on their estimates. I can't think of any other major market where someone would come out and say they didn't know how much inventory they had and that their best estimate could be 50% off. And the participants in the silver market are still rather ridiculous to this day: https://www.reuters.com/business/finance/jpmorgan-pay-60-mln...
