> OpenGL is not dead until Khronos comes up with an API that is actually usable without an EE degree on GPU design and shader compilers.

That isn't going to happen because everyone is, in fact, moving away from the idea of a "graphics API" altogether and simply allowing the compute systems to calculate everything.

See: the Nanite renderer from EPIC:

To a first and second order approximation, no one cares about graphics that aren't related to games.
This is really interesting. In the past I've used netpbm for this kind of work, but it has been on life support for at least a decade now. I never used ImageMagick very much because each time I tried I found a new and exciting crash bug somewhere in the path, plus it tended to be much slower.

Level | Security Engineer | NYC and remote | Full-time | http://level.com

Hi, I’m Donovan, and I’m the security lead at Level. We’re looking for a security engineer to help us tackle some interesting (and some not as interesting) security challenges at our growing startup!

Level makes benefits as simple as paying with cash, starting with insurance. Level is ultimately a fintech company and you'll get a chance to work at a leading innovator and trailblazer in the world of insurance and payments.

We have a world-class team who loves to rethink the status quo and comes from companies like Square, Google, Oscar, Uber, and Airbnb. You'll collaborate across teams as key security stakeholders to ensure security from product design documents through architecture review and hands on application-security assessments, participate in the SDLC, develop threat models and perform security risk assessments, and work with potential partners.

We're looking for security engineers who have a passion for working in high-performing teams, are interested in learning new technologies, and keeping up with changing threats. We're looking for engineers who have a good grasp of web and mobile application security threats, assessment techniques and remediations, familiarity with Go, TypeScript, React and other modern frameworks and application environments, and cloud security and containerized environments. You'll also be working with highly sensitive confidential information.

Apply through https://level.com/jobs, and we’ll kick off the process!
I've never used Pandora in a paid mode, so I can't speak to that.

Spotify has some features that map to this, but is way more artist focused than album focused. When you click on an artist, you get the artist's page, and navigating to the albums that you have added by that artist is nearly impossible. That is, there's no way to engage hierarchically -- to say "I want to listen to a Neil Young album that is in my collection". You have to either decide on the album from memory and just find it, or you have to go to the artist and hope that the album you like is one of the "recommended" or "hot" ones by Neil Young.
r/homegym. It took me far too long to accept that going to a physical gym is logistically stupid and dramatically reduces the chance of me working out consistently with high frequency. I decided to invest several thousand dollars in fitness equipment and will never go back. Worth every penny. Being able work out 1 minute after deciding to do so is a absolute game changer for me.
It's not our ability to survive as a species that concerns me, it's the imminent period of contraction as previously abundant resources become expensive, technology-dependent, and competed over.
> Everything affects everything else, and the correct questions to ask are how much?

I don't think this is true. It's true that interstellar mass movements affect atomic motions on earth (the theory is well understood!), but it's not true that the movements affect, say, whether a particular computer program correctly meets a given spec: they're simply at different levels of explanation. One can't even imagine a theory that connects them. Maybe the interstellar motion could cause a bug in a particular computer, but we can consider a computer program's properties independent of a particular execution on a particular hardware. Furthermore, we can even test this using an ensemble of physical computers in the presence of error-producing radiation or whatever.

Such a good suite of utilities. When I first got on campus UNIX in '95, I pretty quickly found this and tried in vain to get it running on various versions of IRIX, Solaris, AIX, and whatnot. Wasn't until I got Linux going that I could actually use it.
Hey Tim,

If I can, I’d like to ask a few questions here, in the name of transparency and as someone whose license is predicated on “unbiased opinions”:

1. How does a “social Zillow” engender trust if anyone can post an opinion on a property? What stops bad actors from “review bombing” a listing on your platform?

2.What exactly are you disrupting? While I am with you that more people should have access to these systems, they are still run locally by the realtors that are putting their own listings on, and are held to certain standards of data reliability under penalty of being booted off these systems. Can the same be said for those that submit bad data to your platform?

3. Do homeowners get a say in not receiving these offers when they aren’t selling? It certainly sounds like it would be adding more spam sent to homeowners that do not need it, but I would love to be educated on why that wouldn’t be the case.

4. What value are you as a company extracting from crowdsourcing this data on the homes in your platform? Will you be taking a cut from offers made, or is this more of a way to connect interested parties?

5. I see all these buzzwords trying to connect a cohesive story to spin your product, but how is your platform providing value to end users, especially if you are touting it as a Wikipedia-style database?

I think this is a lovely idea.
Just as everyone has a novel inside them, there are two or three "drop everything if I had the cash" ideas inside every head. All of them unique and some even useful to society :-)

Yes. Let's fund more moths.
First, I want to call attention to the fact that when I provide sources mine are academics and government agencies studying a problem disinterestedly with facts, statistics, and published analyses. Your sources are partisan activist organizations expressing opinions and an opinion letter to a college newspaper. None of these sources even attempt to contradict I wrote and linked to sources to support.

When I use sources I excerpt the source and explain what I think it means. You do not do this but instead drop a few related opinion pieces and leave figuring out how they are supposed to relate to the topic at hand to me. Problem is, I don't think these are especially relevant to what we are discussing.

As I wrote before comparing recidivism, and even cost, between private and public prisons is difficult because private prisons tend to house different populations of prisoners and tend to be located in different locales. When scholars to try to control for variables they find mixed results ranging from private prisons decrease recidivism to have no effect to increase recidivism. The balance, from my short investigation, seems to suggest "No effect".

Nothing in what you've linked refutes that or gives me any reason to reconsider.
Nothing in what you've linked or what you've written makes the case that private prisons are inherently bad either.

I do not understand what point you are attempting to make. I have shared my opinion on private prisons - that we need to align their incentives with society and prisoners. You have said I shouldn't share my opinion because it disagrees with experts - but you don't link to any such experts and there doesn't seem to be any expert consensus on the topic.

One more contrast between you and I in this thread - when I am offering an opinion based on my own thinking I provide an explicit caveat to that effect. You, on the other hand, misleadingly bolster your pronouncements by suggesting that they are the informed consensus of experts and "people who've thought about this for a long time."

For something like this, if you have a good idea, why not explain it and make the idea public so someone with more time can research it? You'll only lose the chance to make a big name for yourself, and if it pans out you'll still get some credit, and the human race will have advanced in knowledge. It's not like you're giving away a possible formula to nuclear fusion. What's the downside I'm not seeing?
I don't understand your argument.

In 1982 C was a decade old and still very niche.

In 1992 C++ was a decade old and still very niche.

In 2002 Python were both about a decade old and very niche.

In 2005 Javascript was a decade old and still very niche (only used on some webpages, the web was usable without javascript for the most part).

I think it's safe to say that all of them went on to enjoy quite a bit of success/widespread use.

Some languages take off really fast and go strong for a long time (php and java come to mind).

Some languages take off really fast and disappear just as fast (scala, clojure).

Some languages get big and have a long tail, fading into obscurity (tcl, perl).

Some languages go through cycles of ascendancy and descendancy (FP languages come to mind for that).

Dismissing a language because of it's adoption rate seems kinda silly - no one says "don't use python because it wasn't really popular til it had existed for over a decade".
BLM activists celebrated as Trump supporter killed (2020)
Yeah I'm not sure about this math. Midway through the article the author correctly notes that their original argument was wrong. The relevant factor here is not the gravitational force, which scales as 1/d^2, but the tidal force, which scales as 1/d^3. But the author claims that after they make this correction, it only changes the result by about 30% or so. But given that they would have to be off by a factor of 1/d (which, in their example is ~4 x 10^-18). Now there's admittedly a non-linear factor here, but even still I have a hard time believing that a change in one of the inputs by 18 orders of magnitude will only result in a 30% change in the end result.

Another hint that something is wrong with the math is that the author does not have a term for the width of the balloon, which is a relevant quantity when calculating the tidal force.

Even though the math here is dodgy and the example is somewhat artificial, the same idea is super important when accounting for the effect of Galactic tides on the kinematics of stars and clusters in the Galaxy. Tides play a role in disrupting open clusters and dispersing young stars into the Galaxy.
This looks like useful output, what distro and command did you use to list this?
Enjoy doing these when I can, although probably takes me 6 months to complete the puzzles, doing them here and there.

Not really into the competitive aspect, although I guess it doesn't matter that much anyway.

There was on AoC a few years ago that got you to build a toy computer, to the point where you were running simple games on it. That was mind blowingly fun!
I have Qobuz combined with mpd (there's a plugin). It's not the cheapest but it's decent for what you get and the UI is simple and doesn't get in your way. My only regret is that it doesn't have lyrics AFAIK.

Dumb question: Do we need to use C++ anymore? Can we just leave it to die with video games? How many more years of this crap do we need before we stop using that language. Yes I know, C++ gurus are smart, but, you are GOING to mess up memory management. You are GOING to inject security issues with c/c++.
I really do not understand how any of that is relevant, it seems both you and OP are grasping at straws.

The article’s conclusion was “It appears to be grossly negligent to ignore the vaccinated population as a possible and relevant source of transmission when deciding about public health control measures.”.

If anything, waning vaccine protection is an argument for that conclusion.

The studies that got the vaccines approved in the first place had to show that they were effecitive for all adults. I'm sure that with some digging it should be possible to find the data split by age group.

More recently, we've also gotten data for many vaccines showing that they're also effective for children and adolescents.

Lastly, another important group is the elderly. Some studies suggest that they respond more poorly to the vaccine and that the protection may last a shorter time. In response, many countries have prioritized the elderly for receiving booster shots (3rd dose).

Similar thing - half of the year now with no meeting Fridays & 4hrs Fridays.

This gets extended month to month based on performance, so it could stop, but if they stop it I will really try to find a job where they do a similar thing.

No meetings on Friday means that in four hours you can do as much as with normal Friday but with meetings (given the meetings produce 0 value, which is not the case of course, but also sometimes the meetings could have been an email, a tweet, or a joke).

> That's just a matter of saving the length of the array alongside the pointer and doing a bounds check, which a compiler could easily insert if your language had a native array type. Pascal and its descendants have been doing that for decades.

GCC has also had an optional bounds checking branch since 1995. [0]

GCC and Clang's sanitisation switches also support bounds checking, for the main branches, today, unless the sanitiser can't trace the origin or you're doing double-pointer arithmetic or further away from the source.

AddressSanitizer is also used by both Chrome & Firefox, and failed to catch this very simple buffer overflow from the article. It would have caught the bug, if the objects created were actually used and not just discarded by the testsuite.
