I don't wear them because they fog up my glasses, and I can't talk for more than a few seconds without gasping for air. Fitting them properly makes both annoyances much worse. I'm not saying they're not effective, but the trade-off for such a small amount of efficacy is just not worth it for me.

One thing I've noticed is that, when I try to explain this to pro-mask people, they're the ones that try to make it political. Most just cannot accept that there are non-political reasons for someone to not want to wear a mask.
You can absolutely do this in i3 or sway. There aren't default keybindings for doing it, but it is easy to set up your own. I set $mod+equals to 'move workspace to output up' in i3 (or something like that -- I'm not on that machine to check). This works for me since I set up my external display to be above the laptop screen, so it effectively means 'move this workspace to the other output'. You could also specify a specific output to move to, or change what the direction is.
Yes, that's exactly my thought every time it comes out; RISC-V is likely to displace MIPS everywhere performance doesn't matter, but it'll have a hard time competing with ARM or x86 on that.

you disagree with how statistics work?

taking off your mask to eat does not negate the rest of the time you wore the mask.

how the hell do people not understand why masks work? I do not understand this.

an analogy:

let's say I am at work, and I fart, but oops, it's poo instead, and now it's all over this side of the conference room floor, even in places you can't see with the naked eye. should I have worn clothes? clothes are so intrusive and restrict my ability to move and express myself, and it's immoral that you create a rule that keeps me caged when I only crap in the conference room three times a year.

the poo in that analogy represents the aerosol saliva and mucus of someone that is contagious with anything, which is stuff that is regularly produced when people talk or breathe. the clothes are a facemask.

how do people not understand why facemasks are effective? I don't want to step in anyone's crap that they left behind wherever they coughed or sneezed or touched the break room chair. wash your damned hands and wear a facemask if you're sick, dammit.

Rather than tab stacks, try Firefox Containers + https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/conex/

It gives you the option to hide all tabs that aren't in your current container. The other advantage it gives over tab stacks in Vivaldi / Edge / Chrome is that they're actually containerized. Tabs in container A can't access anything from tabs in container B.

I am sorry but saying that RISC-V is a winner in code density is beyond ridiculous.

I am familiar with many tens of instruction sets, since the first computers with vacuum tubes until all the important instruction sets that are still in use, and there is no doubt that RISC-V requires more instructions and a larger code size than almost all of them, for doing any task.

Even the hard-to-believe "research" results published by RISC-V developers have always showed worse code density than ARM, the so-called better results were for the compressed extension, not for the normal encoding.

Moreover, the results for RISC-V are hugely influenced by the programming language and the compiler options that are chosen. RISC-V has an acceptable code size only for unsafe code, if the programming language or the compiler options require run-time checks, to ensure safe behavior, then the RISC-V code size increases enormously, while for other CPUs it barely changes.

The RISC-V ISA has only 1 good feature for code size, the combined compare-and-branch instructions. Because there typically is 1 branch for every 6 to 8 instructions, using 1 instruction instead of 2 saves a lot.

Except for this good feature, the rest of the ISA is full of bad features, which frequently require at least 2 instructions instead of 1 instruction in any other CPU, e.g. the lack of indexed addressing, which is needed in any loop that must access some aggregate data structure, in order to be able to implement the loop with a minimum number of instructions.
To everyone who's saying "But macro-fusion!" in response, see my comment here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29421107
I designed an ISA (and a CPU) as an undergrad, and I assure you that, while it was very cool (stack-oriented, ASM looked like Forth), it'd have horrendous performance these days.

Yeah, I mean personally the only artists I know who have experimented with NFTs seem to have continued operating at a loss with no concrete hope of making back the money they've spent on minting fees etc.

It's never people who are in a position to burn money and it seems like it turns into a long-term commitment / compulsion that is really hard to understand but also not something that seems like it should be judged too harshly either.

Copyright law has damaged global culture. Who benefits when the copyright to Winnie-the-Pooh takes almost 100 years to expire? Only the companies who sell licensed merchandise. Think about how many fan works we’ll never see because we bizarrely decided to grant creators a monopoly on whatever they create, even if the work enters the public mythology like with Star Wars or Lord of the Rings. The people of the country should own the stories and characters after a reasonable length of time, and 100 years is laughable.
I like how that quote actually reflects the hubris and disconnection to reality of the sound engineer. That is exactly "how it was done", how he mixed it, the fact that it didn't sound good in a real life matinee (as opposed to the ideal conditions of his sound lab) is a fact of life. That is the target he should be mixing for, for the real life matinees with imperfect equipment and acoustics (or for the even worse real life living rooms with crappy sound system and acoustics), but instead he mixes to sound perfect in his perfect lab. He is doing it wrong, optimizing for the wrong metrics, but he can't fathom being wrong, so he will keep screwing up and people will keep not being able to understand movies. It is the sound engineer version of "You're holding it wrong".

As far as I know, the latest research says that more than half (!) of people experience fatigue and other symptoms after 6 months. I don’t know if lockdowns are the right solution, but if the modal outcome is chronic fatigue than it seems a little flippant to call someone a hypochondriac.
Thank you for your comment. It changed my mind about the situation.
>71% percent of Germans support mandatory vaccinations for COVID, this is from a poll published today.

From the article:

>Germany, much like Austria, has one of the lowest vaccination rates in western Europe, with 68.4% and 65.6% of eligible adults vaccinated respectively, according to the ECDC.

More Germans support mandatory vaccinations than are actually vaccinated? Seems like it should be the opposite. There are many vaccinated people (like myself) who oppose mandatory vaccinations, but are there unvaccinated people who support vaccine mandates? If so, I haven't met one.

>It is clear now that the vaccines require 3 doses to be effective, the delays here cause increased load in intensive care and were to some degree avoidable.

That's not clear at all. In fact, all the data shows that incidence of mortality and severe illness among those with 2 vaccine doses and 3 is virtually nil. Reducing your chance at mortality while fully vaxxed from 1 in 50,000 to 1 in 100,000 is hardly significant, even though its technically correct that your chances of dying are "double" without the "booster". Nor is there any data that multiple shots reduce transmission rates.
I've written scrapers over the years, mostly for fun, and I've followed a different approach. Re. "don't interrupt the scrape", whenever URLs are stable, I keep a local cache of downloaded pages, and have a bit of logic that checks the cache first when retrieving an URL. This way you can restart the scrape at any time and most accesses will not hit the network until the point where the previous run was interrupted.

This also helps with the "grab more than you think you need" part - just grab the whole page! If you later realize you needed to extract more than you thought, you have everything in the local cache, ready to be processed again.
My investing strategy is to sell CCs on NVDA, AMD, F, AAPL, and use the premiums to buy more index funds.
I trust that the Apple benchmarks include all such effects. I'm less convinced that the RISC-V "projections" include them. SPECint2006 is supposed to be measured with real memory and an OS. Per-GHz numbers can't accurately reflect main memory latency, since its speed doesn't scale with the CPU clock.

Your "point" is a self-serving framing the issue of working on important world problems versus working on adtech as one of feeding the family versus not feeding the family (starving). You want us to believe "I have no choice". That may be your perspective. Whether it applies to anyone else is questionable. If there are really lots of people working in adtech who are in some sort of "forced labour" arrangement, where if they take another job, their children will starve, then we perhaps we should try to help them. The whole idea is silly. There are millions of people around the world who really are suffering who truly cannot feed their families, for real, and you want us to believe that people who work on adtech, who have the skills to be working on more important things, are among them.
Which means, vaccination doesn't works. Sounds like the antivaccers are right(?)

Perhaps we disagree on the definition of 'the authority of science'. Also FWIW I am not at all religious, in case you think I'm trying to restore scripture to it's rightful place of authority over science. I am just intrigued by this statement that science is the ultimate authority by definition, and that nothing could ever supplant it.
The thing with lack of shifted indexed addressing is that it just might not matter all that much beyond toy examples. Address calculations can generally be folded in with other code, particularly in loops which are a common case. So it's only rarely that you actually need those extra instructions.

Just want to share a completely different cause of the same symptom, I'm curious if anyone else has experienced: I watch movies at home with Netflix on a PS4 Slim plugged into an TX-NR636 receiver running in bi-amp stereo mode. Netflix defaults the audio to 5.1, and this causes muffled dialog and extremely loud music and explosions. When I manually choose stereo in Netflix, the sound comes out perfect. My searching online suggests my receiver is not doing its job properly, since it should losslessly mux the 5.1 to stereo (it officially supports the four speakers in bi-amp stereo mode configuration), but I've gone through all its settings and gave up trying to fix it. I notice this issue because I'm compulsive, but other people that still have stereo speakers but receive 5.1 signals are just presumably "living with it", and suffering muddled dialogue...

I think in general, the gap between what regulations say and what people will do anyways will be small (as long as the regulations are more strict than "default" behavior).

Or is it getting worse because of how the software is used? I will grant that some software seems to only be usable in weaponized ways (e.g., biometric identification at scale), but something like Facebook could be used for _good_ purposes (connecting people) if it weren’t driven by the wrong metrics (e.g., advertising, surveillance, etc.).
Thank you so much for the link! And ditto on the thank you for introducing the term proof of waste. Extremely helpful.
Do you have some sort of PageRank?
In lots of places this makes sense. E.g. lots of embedded ARM platforms have a separate AES / ECC accelerator peripheral.

The trouble comes when you need to share access to a memory mapped peripheral among multiple threads/processes/users etc. It can be done, but it's usually easier to manage CPU registers than peripheral devices for things like crypto operations in larger systems. Plus, you have to do access control to the peripheral (so other processes don't try and steal your key), if its all within the security boundary of a "normal" process, you get that (mostly) for free.

All of the above has caveats and exceptions, but generally (ARM, SPARC, x86, now RISC-V) take this approach.
The vaccination rate in Denmark is less than 80%. The virus does not care that vaccines have not been authorized for kids yet. An unvaccinated person is an unvaccinated person, regardless of whether the reason is bureaucracy or personal choice.

Also, the effective vaccination rate is usually lower than the average rate. Unvaccinated people tend to spend time with other unvaccinated people, and this is particularly true for kids. The people an infected individual encounters are more likely to be unvaccinated than the general population.

> Or, if you use Docker, you can use docker cp to copy some static tools (e.g. busybox) to a running container and check what’s going on.

I tried this recently with `kubectl cp` for my scratch image and it turns out that command will fail if the target container lacks a `tar` program in its PATH. I guess under the covers it's just doing a `kubectl exec <pod> -- /bin/tar ...` on the file rather than asking the kubelet to untar the file into the target container's filesystem.
That's fair, but I think focusing on one region over a limited time period can lead to incorrect conclusions. A single country is not a closed system.

The working class in the US has certainly suffered a regression over the past several decades, while the upper class gained tremendous amounts of wealth. One might assume the wealthy seized their gains from the middle class, and this may be true, to some extent.

However, once you widen your lens to a global view, you will see poverty world-wide drastically improved over the same period of time. So the regression of wealth away from the middle class in the US might more accurately be considered as transfer of wealth to the rapidly-industrializing world.

Crypto blockchains are a technical boondoggle in a financial system that already has trusted institutions. The whole costly & complex system of blockchain transactions is designed to simulate trust without authorities, I don't see any technical reason why it would be more efficient than a simple encrypted packet + an optimized database that a regulated institution can implement when it doesn't need to simulate trust. Even Proof of Stake is totally unnecessary in a regulated financial system.
