> It's certainly possible that another compressed encoding might do better using fewer opcode, and I've seen the suggestions. The main thing wrong with the standard one in my opinion is that it gives too much prominence to floating point code, having been developed to optimise for SPEC including SPECFP (no, not the Linux kernel or Dhrystone ... I have no idea where you got that from).

Javascript is limited to 64-bit floats as is lua and a couple other languages.

Sure, you can optimize to 31/32-bit ints, but not always and not before the JIT warms up.
I think it's a bit different if you turn up with the car and a working key already - in that case making you another key doesn't really change anything about the situation(although I suppose it could still be someone just borrowing a car intending to use the spare to steal it later....).

But yeah, I specifically mean a situation where someone doesn't have a key, turns up with the car on a trailer and asks for the key for it - in that case yeah, why would a dealership unlock and provide you with a key for a random car that you can't prove ownership of? That would be just weird.
Brickset is impossible on mobile unless you have uBlock or aggressive content blockers. You expect a punch-the-monkey popup like it's 1999.
That doesn't mean we should eliminate everything else. Many operations that would require 3 or more simple instructions are easy enough to implement in hardware, so that they take no more time than one of these simple instructions. This can be a big win even if they are only used 1% of the time.
I wouldn't call it "debunked". All these were later answered by author, I don't have sources, but I remember it was on author's blog and also on some podcasts*. I remember that he said all these will be answered also in second edition.

EDIT: 90% sure it was on one of these https://duckduckgo.com/?q=matthew+walker+site%3Apeterattiamd...
> What sticks in my mind from my limited exposure to SuperH is that there's no load immediate instruction, so you have to do a PC-relative load instead.

SuperH has a mov #imm, Rx that can take an 8-bit #imm. But you're right, literal pools were used just like on ARM.

Things I liked about SuperH: 16 bit fixed-width insn format (except for some SH2A and DSP ops), T flag for bit manipulation ops, GBR to enable scaled loads with offset, xtrct instruction, single-cycle division insns (div0, div1), MAC insns.

In terms of code density SH was quite effective, see here http://web.eece.maine.edu/~vweaver/papers/iccd09/iccd09_dens... or here http://www.deater.net/weave/vmwprod/asm/ll/ll.html
>>> As an aside everyone should know the difference between a Phillips and Pozidrive. It should be required teaching in schools to maintain everyone sanity.

>> I'm not sure about that: use of posidrive is somewhat regional. In the UK and Germany for example it's relatively common, while I don't think I have ever seen it "in the wild" in the US.

> Frustratingly, IKEA uses pozi screws in some applications without including a driver.

IIRC, IKEA uses them in pretty much all applications and almost never includes a driver. An American who hasn't specifically been taught about Pozidrive will almost certainly confuse them for Philips and have a frustrating experience, unless they're so non-handy or pressed for time that they bought their tools from IKEA as well.

It's a weird situation: they're very unusual, except in one extremely popular area which is also the only place where many people will use tools.
It’s been a while, so maybe there are better ones now, but I never found a company that produced bricks anywhere near the quality that LEGO does.

If anyone knows of LEGO alternatives that are high quality I’d love to know.
That's crazy considering how much more regulation humans have had than any other observable creature.
The article suggests they built it so that by running it within the DB it would have less compute overhead and they could match GraphQL requests to SQL transactions 1:1.
Yay, this is gonna be sweeeet. I have a render going now on 2.9 and it's so cool. I've been using blender for years and years now, just for fun and in the winters I use it to keep my room warm and my renders 4k baby.
Idk, I really like the contrast against pure black on OLED screens. For some reason it infuriates me on LCD though.
For some fun historical context, checkout Moxon's "Mechanick Exercises" or Nicholson's "Mechanic's Companion", which are both treatises on various tradecrafts (including carpentry and joinery, which is where stairs would come in) around the late 1600s and early 1800s, respectively. Those two books essentially serve as the foundation for the modern hand-tool woodworking movement.

I mention this because "Lost Art Press" is currently on the front page, who are an independent woodworking book publisher near the front of this movement
so the author said something which can be nitpicked, therefore the entire article is rubbish?

I guess we all do this to a certain extent given that there's so much content to parse through and anything that will allow us to quickly dismiss something lets us use that energy for something else
Thought the same thing. It’s such a godsend, and the first thing I install on every new machine or virtualenv.
This kind of thing needs Bluetooth. Then I could read outdoors with my laptop running in my backpack.
I'd say just stick with XMPP and extend the protocol to fit modern needs. If we want an universal chat protocol that's going to last, reinventing the wheel is not going to get us there.
Until now Lego had been careful to not produce this kind of configuration where destructive disassembly was required which is an interesting shift in their design philosophy (assuming it's not just this slipping through the cracks of course).
Intercepting SSL Pinned Connections on Android
We're just starting to get out of the alchemy stage right now. Wise men and magicians everywhere telling royalty that if they only pay them treasures that they will reveal the future and show them miracles. Meanwhile it turns out that NSS has a straight-forward vulnerability that everyone just somehow missed.

If you look at the history of chemistry, mechanical engineering, or astronomy then you kind of get the impression that we're probably 150-300 years away from software development working the way everyone already imagines it working.
> expected death, which are not higher than usual

Again, as stated in GP (with supporting data) in neither Germany (the context of the article) nor the US (the context and source of much of the political debate in the thread) is it true that actual deaths are not higher than expected from pre-pandemic experience.

In the old country, you'd park your car and take the battery with you. The car won't drive even if you jump-start it.

A thief can have a pocketful of fuses.. a battery is a little harder to lug around.
there are many benefits to having a mutt

the dumbest dogs I have ever owned were a very-pure viszla and a very-pure mastiff. between the two of them there could not have been ten working brain cells.

now I have a mutt that has such diverse characteristics that it is confounding for dog experts to tell me what he is...he is also, by a mile, the smartest dog I have ever had

I am convinced the purebred = dumb observation is not just an anecdote
I love how the author of the article included a picture of a truck with a red circle surrounding the trailer connection plug - which has nothing to do with OBD2 connectivity - the technology the thieves are using to reprogram vehicles.

Why do we have journalists reporting on things they know little about? Seems counter-intuitive doesn't it?
Who knows what were the exact circumstances of that poor imaginary woman? Maybe The only ambulance driver in that little town she lives was her abusive BF?

Anyway, the idea is that you will have circumstances where unlocking the car would save somebodies lives but due to procedures not covering situations like this bad things will happen and people will blame the manufacturer. The way system works will be a constant debate.
Updates frequently ruin your configurations, opt-outs, and even install additional spyware.

Brick separators can get 2x1 flats apart where this will require you to damage the 4l axel which to me seems like a notable difference.
That's irrelevant. There is a legal standard "Arbitrary and Capricious" , where the party makes a business decision out of spite, for no good reason and with no consideration for interests of others.

Google is respobsible for decisions they make, it's their problem that they use faulty automation.
For it to be "all cultures", one would need to spend more time in cultures different then our own.
Can it talk to my laptop via bluetooth? That would be rad. I'd use it outdoors, with my laptop running but still folded in my bag.

Wow this guy is FUNNY. Thanks for sharing!
Do you perhaps mean wolves by strays? If so,, I don't think that's how natural evolution works, otherwise humans might start looking like Homo erectus.

The main distinction between an actual 'stray' dog and a domestic dog is environmental, being around humans and so on and less to do with genetics.

If you let dogs breed freely they'd probably still clump into sets of similar genetic and physical traits based on time and location (and their prior genetics).
Seems like you need to check your priors. Either you want decentralized citizen-led journalism or you want to be free from what the establishment deems to be 'misinformation'. Due to human nature 'misinformation' is largely going to be whatever threatens establishment power, so 'misinformation' ends up being almost all decentralized citizen-led journalism in practice.

There are edge cases to everything, and there are already other solutions to this issue. But yes, death or debilitating illness is something that should be (and generally is, from the bureaucratic side anyways) considered in the context of asset ownership.
Unless you’re a prestigious non-profit, good luck finding anyone at all to hire if you’re filtering on attitude.
And it should be your decision what option to take.
I never understood the any-color-will-work people. When you were a kid and were painting something, did you cover all surfaces do random blotches of color?
I was surprised it looks very good on mobile too. Will have a look later.

It also reminds me of flash, which had a similar selling point. Back in the day (early 2000's?) there was a trend building entire websites in flash only (requiring a browser plugin to be accessable). But svg is supported by any modern browser.
Hmm maybe, but also what about the argument that the most likely designers of a simulation such as ours would be those who inhabit a universe like ours? A good reason to simulate a universe would be to ask “what if?” questions, which would seem of greatest utility to those living in similar universes…
Lego bricks/elements
Oh, man. It's Flash all over again.
Isn’t this typically called an ssh bastion?
This is probably a less unusual opinion than you'd think - power steering, especially modern power steering, insulates you from the feel of the road. The argument is usually hydraulic power steering vs electric power steering these days, but there are plenty of people who have weekend cars with no power steering to optimize road feel. How reasonable it is to drive without power steering depends a lot on the car, so you'll see this more commonly with something like a Miata where even without power steering it's not that hard to turn the wheel.
> However, the flip side is that we know quite clearly what it is for a world to be less detailed than our own.

Do we? I'm not trying to do the Socratic Method here with endless questioning but how can I know or experience what less detail means? Don't I only have access to all of the detail I could have access to by definition?
Eugenics gave us much better cows, pigs and chickens. We've continued that to freakish levels in some instances. You morals are your own; mine are just fine with short lived chickens and $2/lb chicken breast.

The angus and longhorn enthusiasts better police some of their nuts or they're gonna get the Aurochs back.
This is unlikely to happen for the same reason that we don't apply a tiered system to larger SUVs and pickups, which are clearly more dangerous than smaller, practical cars. People will subconsciously fight any self reflection and resist even trivial self-sacrifice for the greater good of society.

Thank you for sharing, this was an interesting read. I wonder if the rest of the book also suffers from this.

To be fair though (not that it excuses it) but pop-science/livestyle book written by academics to gain more notoriety usually suffer from this issue that a lot could be fixed by doing X. Livespan by David Sinclair also does this by basically pinning everything on aging.

It makes for a good read but I think it's best to always keep a healthy skepticism.
Is it actually a regression or did it never really work in the first place? Hardware manufacturers are in my experience pretty unreliable sources when it comes to compatibility and I've had my fair share of issues even with 100% unmodified straight-from-the-factory machines regardless of OS.

Edit: I also 'member Dell shipping some of their XPS laptops with Linux preinstalled despite them having missing drivers / functionality.
The present core "child themes" (City, Ninjago, Creator) are a far cry from the golden era during the 1990s (Castle, Pirates, Space). Back then, most bigger sets had baseplates (flat or 3D), the latter primarily used with castles and fortresses. You could easily combine sets from the same theme from different years and build something completely new which feels like a new set from the same theme. The variety of parts and colours wasn't so huge.

With a modern theme like Ninjago, most of the sets are some imaginary vehicles with very specific parts and colours. You could probably build a new vehicle from the same set, but combining different sets is much less enjoyable. The few sets with buildings have no baseplates and the structures feel very airy and unharmonic.
'stop adding value'? WTF.
Assisted suicide is becoming more accepted as an option for the elderly. I suspect that some day it will be as normal our current options for extending life.

I for one would rather die on my own time, surrounded by family when my quality of life declines, rather than clinging on to a miserable existence.
So how do you trace the stair cuts?
I'm definitely not blaming the developers. At least with Linux I can talk to them through various channels directly or even fix stuff myself.
> Grosskreutz stated outright during the trial that he had no reason to believe Rittenhouse had shot anyone

Could you share a link? I could only find part of his testimony where he says that he thought Rittenhouse was an active shooter.

Criminal [for the parties facilitating it by allowing it], comes to mind as a naming option.
Some of the newer sets have the "issue" in my mind that they aren't balanced. Either they use tiny bricks and build up everything, or they're based on pretty large single pieces.

The mid-size bricks seems less used now compared to the sets I got as a kid 30 years ago. When I pick out Lego sets for my daughter it's often based on the type of bricks included, and sometimes we just get classic brick sets. Building using the 1 - 4 stud piece, especially the flat ones, get boring pretty quickly.
Circling back on this - "DocuSign shares plunge nearly 40% after the company gave weak guidance". Just saying...
Not sure what's premature here. The optimization is to allow me, a human, to find a certain class of database records quickly. I also chose a method that I understand to be snappy on the SQL side as well.

What would you suggest as a non-optimized alternative? That might make your point about premature optimization clearer.
The same people who will nod politely while reading this article are the same ones who will advocate for locking people in their homes if they don't take a needle. I can't even figure out what Hayden's gripe is - that there are people who don't accept Biden's election victory? What does this have to do with the erosion of liberty he gripes about earlier? Sounds like Hayden defines "freedom" as being "free" from people who disagree with him.
Not that I've seen, but you can run it on VMware and VirtualBox on Windows.

Check YouTube, there are tons of videos of how to do it.
"Think about the infrastructure required to allow direct human contact for someone like Google, Youtube or Facebook."

So they have an unfair advantage over competition by avoiding the cost of customer support? Am I meant to feel sorry for them?
> But it's just gifs. Not social network like other examples.

When you send gifs to someone, that gif can be tracked. Which means, it can be monetized like other social networks. In fact, their business model is exactly like other social networks.
A lot of dog "breeds" are basically just genetic deformities being perpetuated through in-breeding.

For example, some French bulldogs have a face that is so deformed it can barely eat or breathe. Some people think such deformed animals look "cute" but various Kennel Clubs are starting to penalize them in dog shows.
SVGs are powerful, and probably underused, especially now that browser support is nearly universal. What do you mean by “enables linked images and fonts”? I create SVGs as text, in Vim, as I do with HTML and CSS.

I revisited SVGs when redesigning a planetarium website (https://friendsoftheplanetarium.org/). I suppose I could have done all of it in CSS, but the code using SVG was simple and concise.

On the way I discovered a nasty bug in recent releases of the Blink engine (https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=127442...). It should be fixed in the next release, but it makes me wonder if you are less likely to get correct rendering when using SVGs.

>Who knows what were the exact circumstances of that poor imaginary woman? Maybe The only ambulance driver in that little town she lives was her abusive BF?

I can make up millions of wild scenarios, as well. I'm sure a few will be true here and there.

However, I don't think speculating about a hypothetical person with a hypothetical abusive partner who is the sole emergency responder in a hypothetical world where corporate Audi is the only other solution (what about taxi, uber, neighbor, cop, etc.?) to a hypothetical medical emergency is worth discussing.
Yep, keep him moving, and check on him frequently. At least a daily phone call, but the more you can visit in person, the better.
I'm a little doubtful. I think your standard pebble would vaporize from the friction with the air. A pebble certainly wouldn't survive re-entry into the atmosphere, so there's an upper bound on the speed before it disintegrates. If you made a vacuum between you and the wall, it might work?

One reason to use larger projectiles is to deliver similar amounts of energy without having to fight things like that.

Everything you said is very true.

ANY Lego set you buy lets you arrange the bricks how you want. If you want different parts you can buy different sets.

Why are people saying Lego should be responsible for this? Take your model and drop it on the floor. Start building.

How to Become a Crypto Person: A Normie’s Guide
It’s always refreshing to see a fellow skeptic of legal precedent in the wild. The precedent set by making the just ruling in one specific case may set up far greater injustices in the future.
I agree.

And fuel injection too - carburettors meant that every car had its own 'personality' and you had to get used to how it wanted you to drive it.
My mum is 63 and single and almost no friends left. I can assure you I am worried of how the next 37 years will be for me as the closest family member.

Advice from this thread which I will employ:

- I will hire helpers to do chores

- I will hire helpers to do larger things like lifting heavy stuff, ie. when buying a new fridge

- I will hire helpers to do gardening chores

- I will go to see a psychologist

There is a tendency to need help for everything, when it could be solved on her own volition. This will not scale into the future. Therefore I will hire helpers. I will need to deal with this situation which will degrade, so I'll see a psychologist.

Thanks, good thread!
Saw the 1st Lego movie on a plane once, did not expect to tear up. Spaceship!
As a society we love to talk about meals (menu, conversation, ritual) and don’t like to talk about the output stage which is just as important and has just as many rituals.

I’m glad there is a Wikipedia page that discusses the reciprocity of non-cash relationships. It’s an enormously important element of social societies (of humans and other species) and is probably 60% of the content of advice columnists (my child isn’t calling me / I have a clingy friend / I didn’t get invited to a party though the hosts were at my house for dinner …)
You are right, that looking down is more comfortable than looking up when sitting straight.

However, I like it better to look up than to look left or right and my reasoning is that it is symmetrical. Therefore, I prefer to have the secondary screen above the primary.
> prototypical example of the "stupid and dilligent,"

I think stupid is too strong here, and misleading even. It allows those who are clearly not stupid from realizing they can fall into the same behavior. Simply not caring is sufficient.
Makes sense. Feels almost like a way to use torts like crimes, civil law as criminal law.
Simple things like making RGB work on my Logitech keyboard without having to debug why it behaves in a non determinist way.

Most of the time things just work on Windows because someone is seeing a business case in working software. I'm sure if more businesses would treat Linux Desktop with higher priority, things would be better.
