>keep its allies in line

With that kind of characterization then label US "allies" for what they are, satraps. Which while the trio are somewhere on the continuum, they still have autonomy to realize US security commitment is only worthwhile if it ensures holistic security. Plunging entire region into war, potentially another forever one isn't in their security interest. At the end of the day security guarantee is a different arrangement than committed alliance, especially to contain PRC in their own backyard at all costs. Security partners are not allies who are obligated to come to US defense or bleed for US interests after all. That's not the kind of commitment US can twist arm for buy in. India/Modi doesn't seem very on board either. Ultimately, Jaishankar sees US/west as hegemon of yesterday and PRC/India collaboration as essential to Asian Century. Previously sanctioned Modi knows how fickle west can be, hasn't bought in outside of hedging. Certainly not enough to provide basing for US considering their history.

>I bet, in a decade or so, China will be back into a state of North Korea, except with skyscrapers if the US will do so.

US probably could do so, but the problem even NK emerging from rubble retained enough expertise to now have a nuclear program that credibly threatens US. But they're simply too small bargain for anything better. PRC on the other hand is large and capable enough to negotiate/fight for better, and could feasibly turn US (and satraps) into North Korea as well. IMO, short of utter calamity, PRC is simply too big to acquiesce to US foreign policy indefinitely and is in a position to at least make sure US suffers decline as much if not more.

> Did anyone really think that every time someone makes a DNS update it is broadcasted to every DNS resolver on the internet?

Yes. Absolutely. Well, not every DNS resolver on the internet, but at least every one that has it cached.

I think it's partly because push-propagation does happen at very limited parts of the picture, when updating master replicas.

It's not pedantic, because there is an observable, human-significant behavioral difference: if you update a DNS record and then test it before the TTL has expired, there's a good chance you'll already see the update. And a good chance that then testing immediately from somewhere else, you won't see the update.

With the mental push model of DNS propagation, you have to reach for weird explanations for this behavior -- "oh, I guess something is still working through its list of servers to push this to" or something equally dubious. With the stale cache entry mental model, it's just: "it wasn't in the cache".

Not back into C, from WASM to native executable / asm / object code
The main problem with GPU is that most of the performance tricks that make GPUs fast are extremely detailed.

Even 10 years ago, back in OpenCL 1.0 days or just as CUDA was getting started, you'd need to use __shared__ memory to really benefit from GPU coding.

Over the past 10 years, GPU programming has become even more detailed: permute / bpermute, warp/wavefront-level voting (vote / ballot operations), warp/wavefront-level coordination (__activemask()), and of course most recently: BFloat16 matrix multiplication / sparse matrix multiplication.

---------

There's some degree of abstraction building going on inside the CUDA-world. You can use cooperative groups to abstract a lot of the wavefront-level stuff away, but not entirely yet. As such, even if you use cooperative groups, you end up needing a mental model of why these operations are efficient before you really benefit.

CUDA cub abstracts a lot of operations away, removing the tedious exercise of making your own prefix sum / scan operation whenever you dip down to this level... but CUDA cub still requires the programmer to learn these tricks before cub is useful.

---------

What we really want, is for a programming interface where "CPU" programmers can add custom code to GPU kernels that adds flexibility and loses very little speed... but doesn't require CPU programmers to spend lots of time learning the GPU-programming tricks of their own.

And such an interface doesn't exist yet in any form. Outside of like... Tensorflow (except that only works for neural net programming, and not for general purpose programming).

-------

The speed thing is very important. C++ AMP, by Microsoft, was a pretty decent interface by 2012 standards (competitive with CUDA and OpenCL at the time), but C++ AMP was criticized as much slower than OpenCL/CUDA, so the programming community stopped using C++ AMP.

If you're writing GPU code that's slower than OpenCL / CUDA, then people will simply ask : why aren't you using OpenCL/CUDA ???

Its hard to sell "programmer convenience" and "simpler thinking process" to your boss.
I think that right now, you can still get a very nice house for < 500K in many midwestern college towns (e.g. Oberlin OH, but there are hundreds of good small colleges in smaller towns). A college town offers some of the benefits of urban living (probably better coffee), likely good internet, and often good schools. And the worse the weather is, the better the real-estate value. And, they may need some adjuncts teaching CS.
People who ran DNS servers in the 90s also ran the routers, where propagation is a function of routing protocols with announcements and broadcasts. They also may have run the newsfroup feeds, where articles would spread out through other feeds. By people, I mean me, anyway.
We have an indoor purple air sensor with a color gradient indicator (from green all the way to purple and many gradients in between). Exactly as you've said we are surprised at the number of times cooking has turned the air quality horrible indoors. Further we are able to see how when air outside is smoky from wildfires that the internal air filters are doing their job.

Last year, my Seattle lease was up. I saw the same thing with houses - I instead found a place in Tacoma for substantially less and it was substantially nicer. And it's super easy to go to Seattle and enjoy anything in the city whenever I wish.

I'm also formerly a Seattle Amazon office worker. After a few years and promotions, I started working remotely for Bay Area companies (the short flight makes me appealing) for good pay for years now. But I still love living in WA.

Sounds like you should consider leveraging your prestigious Seattle tech pedigree into a remote position. If you really work 60h now, your effective hourly wage will skyrocket even if you get paid less by nature of going down to sub-40h due to remote work. And it'll still be plenty of money for Western WA.
> Why aren't there just compiler flags that can enforce the same restrictions they want?

Because they want to compile arbitrary code in order to sandbox it.

The alternative is something like eBPF, but that imposes a limited subset of the source language, which would be unlikely to work with something like a video decoder.
Payments are ex gratia at the discretion of the Secretary of State, so in principle it's entirely up to them. There is a legally-guiding Code of Practice[0], though, which gives a starting point of 50% to the finder and 50% to the landowner. That proportion can change if there's an agreement about how to divide any spoils between the landowner and the finder in advance of the find, if there's misconduct on behalf of any party (e.g. trespass, failure to report in the legal time limits), etc. The occupier (e.g. tenant) is eligible too, sometimes.

> make a total reset for version 2.0 and redo v 1.0 correctly.

That's how I usually work (in personal projects). I wonder what it would take to convince management to do the same. In theory it should "just" duplicate the budget of any given project (which doesn't sound totally wrong).

It sometimes happens to me, though, that I need to reach v3 in order to go back to v1. I just feel this way of doing software to be the most natural way.
I'm glad it worked out for you and that some hams are able to use the process. I might have just been unlucky. I believe Chris is the person who handled my request, since it was for a block to announce, but I can't remember for sure and I've deleted the emails long ago. I worked out another way to accomplish what I want to do, so I'll leave a /24 for someone else to potentially have.

The AMPRnet system is not really, or at least doesn't seem very, approachable for a bunch of reasons, so it doesn't surprise me that hams might not be fully taking advantage. And even once you get a block, using it on the Internet is more difficult than it needs to be. ARDC went to the trouble of having the parent net moved under ARIN's management (changing it away from Legacy status, another self-own), yet ARDC still won't use delegations or IRR/ROA for whatever reason. It all just seems backwards.
I think that there is some sort of resignation. Judging by my experience in a global bank in Europe, people are very willing to leave and they do. Even HR is changing: 2 years ago, people who left were officially bid farewell, while now HR tries to conceal these news.

What has changed? LinkedIn. People get hit on via LinkedIn a lot. And this caused a landslide. New hires vs resignations is negative.

This might be different to especially the USA, but I believe that headhunting for jobs now has finally arrived in Europe. And that is a huge factor. Beforehand it was tough to recruit people via headhunters. Now this can even be automated to a certain extend.

>I know for a fact that the restaurant/food service situation is on full meltdown mode in Southern California.

I won't say it's everywhere but I've seen the same problem as California in Washington (including rural Washington) and Raleigh. Everyone I know who travels has been running into the difficulties of trying to find places to eat at on a given day.
I think that's a bit too severe. The reason that the vast majority of religious exceptions are being turned down is because the religions that people say they belong to actually have no objections to vaccines, and most people are just making up religious reasons for vaccine refusal from whole cloth. When people actually do belong to religions that eschew modern medicine, they do often get exceptions. For example, nobody can claim that Christian Scientists don't have a religious claim that long predates the current vaccine panic.

A google tells me that Dutch Reformed congregations have some doctrinal objections to vaccinations also, but many have endorsed them anyway. The big surprise for me is that the Jehovah's Witnesses are completely neutral on the issue.

edit:

> The First Church of Christ, Scientist, the publisher of the Monitor, said: “For more than a century, our denomination has counseled respect for public health authorities and conscientious obedience to the laws of the land, including those requiring vaccination. ... We see this as a matter of basic Golden Rule ethics and New Testament love.”

I don't really see the point of your comment, besides to express some sort of overly pedantic characterization of push vs pull event propagation techniques.

semi-OT but Twitter seems to have recently started putting "mobile.twitter.com" in my URL bar (on mobile), as well as adding a UUID in a "t" query param when you use their "copy link" flow, which is all annoying cruft to have to delete when sharing links.

They used to just put "?s=19" through "?s=22" or so, which enumerated clients (desktop, mobile, Android, etc), which was better than the junk most other services stuff in (like utm_source and friends...)
So "least affordable" (median house price as a multiple of median income). To me that's quite different from "most expensive" (highest dollar prices).
The subtitle gives away the whole story:
“Why are we using a word that is preferred by only 2 percent, but offends as many as 40 percent of those voters we want to win?” said one pollster."

.....

Only 2 percent of those polled refer to themselves as Latinx, while 68 percent call themselves “Hispanic” and 21 percent favored “Latino” or “Latina” to describe their ethnic background, according to the survey from Bendixen & Amandi International, a top Democratic firm specializing in Latino outreach.

More problematic for Democrats: 40 percent said Latinx bothers or offends them to some degree and 30 percent said they would be less likely to support a politician or organization that uses the term.

-

No one cares what they call themselves. The elites have their own language and will continue to use it even if the subjects detest or resent it. Only if the elites feel there is a price to pay or a give will they change their language.
NGO leaders, social justice activists and liberal digital writers clearly know better for them than they know for themselves. They will keep calling them Latinx because their superiors know it's best for them. The mindset of the elite nagging nannies.
There was a time when my air quality sensor (a Temtop device) showed suspiciously high PM2.5 in the kitchen. It turned out the kitchen oven had too much oil build up inside and required cleaning. And no, I tried both cheap and expensive air purifiers; none of them could beat opening the kitchen window or turning on the range hood (a dedicated one, not the kind attached to a microwave). In this particular case, it was also a good reminder to clean the oven.
Thanks!

Euro banknotes set for first full redesign in 20 years
I think you miss a few key points:

1. Including undocumented code is a breach of trust.

2. Adding a “fun” piece of code that’s not useful (and “secret”!) adds to the burden of maintainership.

3. People will inevitably want to add to the Easter egg code. Maintainers by and large are overworked, especially for software used on the scale of curl. They have better things to do.

If you want curl with Easter eggs, fork it and see if others will use it.
Thanks, bestie!

> And then you grab any Scrum guide and you’ll see:

This is all perfectly in line with the Agile manifesto, as long as teams are empowered to customize all of them as they see fit.

For example, if the team decides that for them long daily scrums that are also an opportunity for code review is better, and so they spend 1h every day doing mostly code reviews during the daily scrum and are happy and productive with this, perfect: we valued people and communication over processes and tools. If, conversely, they get told that Daily Scrum must be a stand-up meeting taking 15 minutes or less, then they're not actually being Agile (someone is valuing the Scrum process more than people and communication).

Any team of people will follow a process and use some tools to do so. Scrum is a half decent starting point for a team moving to Agile, as are Kanban or XP or others. Ultimately you have to start with some process, then keep tweaking until the team, management, customers etc are all happy.

Having no process at all (how do we decide if we should work on X?) is a tool for disaster. Having a very rigid process (don't talk to Jim directly, wait till Daily Scrum), or following tools slavishly (I can't work on this until you log a ticket and pull it in the sprint), is as well.

I was living in Bangladesh while this was happening and ended up volunteering at one of the refugee camps. The people there were very aware that the mobs were being organized on Facebook.

Later while working in Bangkok I had a colleague from Myanmar who’s entire family was murdered as they tried to flee across the border to Thailand.

People have been talking about this for years and Facebook absolutely needs to be held accountable along with the pieces of shit running that poor country.
Lived in Seattle for a decade before relocating to Utah 2.5 years ago. Growing up in central WA we visited Seattle often when I was a teenager in the 90's. It was a pleasant, beautiful place - many areas around Seattle still are (love the outdoors there). A lot has changed over the past 10-15 years and not for the better. People are fleeing the city to the suburbs (mainly north and east of Seattle or even to the other side of the Cascades). The city needs better leadership to address chronic homelessness, crime, and drug use. Seems like they've had the funds, just don't get anything done effectively. Totally agree that housing affordability is a real challenge there. It's grown too fast for the infrastructure to catch up.
> You're mistaken. Wikipedia automatically redirects you to the m. website if you type "en.wikipedia.org" into your phone browser. The same is true even if you explicitly type an article's URL into your phone browser, like "en.wikipedia.org/London".

What am I mistaken about? This is exactly what I said happens. I focused this information pretty heavily:

>> The standard page will redirect mobile user-agents to the mobile page.

>> I am sympathetic to the view that the URL should just point wherever it points. This would require a change to Wikipedia's standard page so that it would display when requested on mobile instead of redirecting.

> More free for developers, not users.

I protest this dichotomy. But even beyond the dichotomy, you're atomizing in the way you discuss people. A community or large group of users have among them both developers and resources to recruit developers to further their collective needs. When MIT/BSD-licensed software ends up being developed beyond the original freely-accessible base within commercial entities, as in:

> MIT code can be used in a closed source system a lot easier than a GPL one can.

then those communities and groups are stuck with a thorn in their side they can't remove, which warps technical fields to accommodate it and is utterly frustrating.

This has been my personal experience in more than one field. As an example it's like that with the CUDA ecosystem for GPU use, much of it is closed and hidden while employing technologies like LLVM, and likely a lot of other FOSS and free academic publications regarding effective computing. I really wish their choice was either much crappier closed-source commercial stuff, or, say, a GPL'ed LLVM, and having their drivers and user-mode toolchains open. If they were to choose the latter, than great; if they were to choose the former, than they would be at a competitive disadvantage and hopefully others (e.g. AMD) would use that to gain more traction with GPL'ed software. I'm not saying that this would _necessarily_ happen, but it might very well.

> Developers love to talk about the freedoms they have with licenses, while ignoring that the whole point of the GPL family is disregarding that in favor of the user's rights.

I think you meant MIT and BSD? Anyway, the point of the GPL and Free Software (using FSF/RMS terms) is to get enough software to have GPL-style license that it becomes unreasonable to license software any other way, with the end result being that essentially all released software will be free for use, dissemination and modification and we will be able to forget about software licenses altogether since people will stop trying to limit that and what is now the GPL would essentially be the legal default.

Well yeah, but “only runs ARM” is less surprising to me than “only runs Thumb”, especially on 64-bit where it’s essentially a different architecture altogether. Or maybe I’m just crabby because I wanted to write a Thumb-2 assembler, took a long look at the instruction encoding and gave up.
