I can't believe I was {HOWEVER OLD I AM NOW} when I learnt that the Moon is 'upside down' when seen from the Southern Hemisphere. I mean, of course it would be - but I'd never made that deductive leap.

Made me feel like a fool, especially given I made my at-the-time pregnant partner crease her nose in not-quite-credulous but also sorta-believing suspicion when I told her that the Japanese don't see a Man in the Moon, rather a Rabbit, because on that side of the Earth they see the opposite side of the moon. I could only maintain the pretense for a few minutes before she scolded me :)
> means that two licenses don't have terms/conditions that contradict

This approach is too simplistic. It should also be remembered that each state has its own legislation and the effect and enforceability (and thus the "compatibility") of the licenses differs in each country. It also depends on what you specifically intend to do with the OSS licensed components. A conclusion can only be reached for the specific case at hand, not in general. As long as there are no supreme court rulings for the specific case or a sufficiently similar case, the legal situation remains uncertain.
I use github search a lot and this would be an insane productivity boost. I signed up for the waitlist. can you please give me a nudge in the queue? This is my profile https://github.com/abdallahmansour6
Exactly. I think even if people were to pay for visiting a website, there would still be ads or tracking because that's too profitable a thing to let go.
Gold is not showing signs of lower inflation. It is simply being abandoned as a hedge against inflation. Retail investors are piling up on crypto currencies thinking that it is the new hedge against inflation.
Inflation has been around since forever and within the living memory of a lot of people, i don’t think any serious economist said that inflation is impossible and would be a conspiracy theory.

You’re basically building a straw man.
I’m fairly sure that the vast majority of abortions throughout history were performed by people who were not trained and licensed physicians.
This presumes that the occupants of the shelter know the address, that rescuers have cellular access (towers and other infrastructure may be down), or that the person(s) calling for help are the residents or usual occupants of the structure.

Survivors or those requesting help might not be adults or residents. They might be children, visitors, or strangers seeking shelter (particularly in the case of a business or commercial address). They might be volunteers searching for survivors. Contact might be over radio if phone service is down. GPS operates directly via satellite, so is independent of and terrestrial infrastructure.

The operating assumption of a disaster is that previous assumptions of normality are violated. Responses which remove assumptions of available serivces, or restore a bare minimal functional level of service, or which protect against likely disruptions, tend to be those that are most useful.

that is "haram" by all means. i'm not advocating it, i was making a point. that's all.we don't have newspapers publishing the horoscope or something or palmists on roadside willing to read your hand for a sum. that thing is properly not practised in the masses. i was saying, the "internet" with all it s good because of lack of proper education, people are warming up to ideas that they should not.

take the example of online gambling. people bet like anything today. we have dozens of "he won 1 crore today, wish i had won the same. let me try to do this tomorrow". the argument is, "well, no money is changing hands. we are not handing out money with our hands. that is haram. this is just taking money from our accounts and getting back some. we aren't touching anything".. i have genuinely heard this argument the other day and my mind was blown at that time. my point is, people are milking the gullible for profit and justifying it.

Oh nice, thanks! This wasn’t humor, I really was looking for a modern performant terminal written in Rust. I wasn’t aware of Alacritty, I’ll definitely check it out :)
One typical approach is that glyphs are rastered (e.g. by Freetype) as 8-bit grayvalues. Basically Alpha channel if you will. You can add RGB color channels from there and blit RGBA with Alpha blending enabled. Not sure if there are finer points to consider here, it's what I've always done and it works for me.

Perhaps less used, and becoming less and less relevant as higher DPI screens are becoming common: With subpixel-rasterized glyphs, you get RGB channel output from the font rasterizer instead of the Alpha channel. These are properly balanced values that are arranged to appear as "white" pixels to most viewers - the idea is that this increases the perceived horizontal resolution by a factor of up to 3. Not sure how to add color to these, maybe just multiplying each component with the respective component of a text color RGB value would work.

In any case, if you have a 4K screen full of flickering glyphs that need to be of varying colors and backgrounds, that might indeed indicate a GPU approach. On the other hand, nobody is getting value of flickering glyphs, so CPU rasterization with some rate limiting would be just as good in these situations, practically speaking.
Problems with the prefix aside (I'm not a fan either) Reddit does it's best to show you popular comments. If you go looking in the -10 through 10 range on relevant threads you'll have a decent chance of spotting them. Not "controversial", not "top" (or bottom of "top"), not "hot", just the 95% of comments that aren't driving engagement numbers.

After all it's neither going to be popular because it's a popular sentiment nor is it particularly likely to be something interesting/relevant to get upvotes on merit. It's just going to be an unpopular opinion that gets ignored.

No application on a modern OS is standalone. They all rely on either having many components the need already installed, and then try to bring along others that may not be installed. As the commonly installed base changes, the included pieces also change.

I for one don't want every application to include 100's of MB of standard components that every other such app also brings (such as Electron style apps). I'd much rather have an app tell the OS to fetch missing pieces once, and once only, then future apps share.

And this also mitigates a significant source of security holes. Nothing like linking everything and the kitchen sink so your system is riddled with unknown, hidden vulnerabilities in binaries.

For example, I recent worked on tools to search for such things - they are EVERYWHERE. OpenSCAD, for example, includes a ssh engine, which has known vulnerabilites, but OpenSCAD does not list them. I found thousands and thousands of embedded binary libraries in applications with known and unpatched vulnerabilities.

Too bad all those didn't use a decent package manager, allowing systemwide updates to common functionality. I suspect the future is more components, not less, for these reasons.
We have limited amount of time, adopting this idea would impact productivity of team for long term. Making your application multi-region with backups and security is more important than protecting against a black swan event that would have limited impact. Even if npm goes down, you might have at maximum few hours of disruption for deploying in CI. This is relatively minor compared to recent us-east outage.
I don't fear it. I simply don't want to unwillingly die. Life is incredible, and I'd like to continue enjoying it on my schedule.

"Conscious entity doesn't want to die" should be justification enough for not wanting to die. However, it seems that just because we've lived with a naturally imposed expiry date for so long, we are expected to accept death after an arbitrarily imposed time limit.

I live in an artificial structure because I do not accept the natural outdoor conditions that my ancestors lived in.

I communicate with people around the world, using horrendously artificial means, because I refuse to accept the silly natural limitations of local auditory communication.

I choose to accept antibiotics for infections that would otherwise naturally kill or maim me.

And if I can, I will choose to opt-out of death, the greatest disease that afflicts all of us.

As an aside, I do fear the tragedy of the aging process, for both myself and other people, but although that's presently a tightly-coupled problem, I'm assuming we're strictly discussing death and not aging.
Completely agree that the response is a trope at this point.

I've seen more comment section finger wagging in response to science articles, offering such wisdom as correlation isn't causation, XYZ "isn't a panacea", research into treatments to mitigate or avoid cancer "don't cure cancer", statistical confidence of 95% falls short of absolute proof, and any number of extraneous add-ons that make caricatures of the research and then bat those caricatures down.

It reminds me of this quip from the Onion, back in 2009:

"All that in just six years? Wow, that's so amazing. If you can't tell, I'm being sarcastic. And I'm being sarcastic because I don't understand the significance of the study."

> What is the estimation for the inflation rate in USA in 2022? Again 7% or back to 1%?

1 year treasuries are currently auctioning at 0.25 percent. Obviously the fed is heavily involved in the market to the point of manipulating rates, but they're not forcing anyone to bid on these afaik.

Isn't that sort of the point of raising interest rates? Makes debt more pressing to slow down money velocity and loan creation? (Thus curbing inflation).

Sure, if you push the rates too high, you'll hit deflation, but the point would be to strike the balance before that happens.
What's odd is that a big part of this isn't really true. They can't afford to be picky - we desperately need more doctors - and yet they are.

You are less likely to read the truly unpopular opinions but yes I agree, seems like a cheap way to gain popularity.
+1. For those wondering what the connection is: Ogma generates Copilot code, which you can compile to Arduino. But you can also of course write Copilot code directly.
AGPL is super scary for corporations, as it's not clear where the boundaries are and no one wants to go to court to find out. GPL is relatively straight forward: as long as you don't link to it, make sources including any changes available to your users.

AGPL is like, okay maybe everything needs to be released. And when you are also using proprietary third party software it becomes a real hairy mess.
They could, sure, but that would again be a breaking change for the sake of being a breaking change. Also, maybe since those "nonportable" things are so widely used, Oracle should just add them to the API officially.
I programmed in CP/M as a teen, and it was a different world then.. Byte Magazine was the way to find out about products and development; machines were connected to each other with a serial cable; a modem was used to send bits over a phone line.

Its annoying to see the comment about 'string safety' .. how about you do what you want with your own computer, which is not logged, watched, billed or updated without your consent. This code relates to a machine that you, as an individual, own. An individual person can do what they want with it, without a spy-OS within the CPU itself, for example.

Its clear (to me) that there has to be a serious fork in CPU development, which will need OS software, maybe back to Z80'ish 8 bits even.. This setup wont display JPG at multiple images per second rate from some centralized media servers, but you know, maybe that is a feature.

All it does is create yet another useless, annoying fucking popup I have to click through. Instead of being silently tracked, now I'm tracked, plus annoyed, and being FORCED to agree with it.

I don’t really think this is Amazon’s fault since they sell a huge amount of products aimed at professionals. For SMBs it’s not common for Amazon to be their main supplier.

Exterminators are a licensed profession in most states and rather than leveraging that system to control poison distribution they said “eh just don’t sell it at Lowes” and hoped people wouldn’t find out what stores you can actually buy it at.

I think it should be cleaned up but punitive damages for online retailers seems a stretch since it seems arguable they were following the law.
Absolutely. I’d be curious to see what a rust api layer like this looks like in practice.
Senescent cells themselves do not exist to prevent tumor growth.

Cells becoming senescent is a mechanism that exists to prevent them from becoming a possible tumor, due to DNA damage.

The problem with senescent cells is that accumulation of them results in tissues not functioning correctly. Eliminating them should make tissues function better.

After all, your own immune system gets rid of senescent cell, but as we age, I believe your immune system is unable to keep up.

That’s pretty vague. Walking 2 miles in flat terrain would meet that description, and I would hardly categorize that as ‘exercise’. I presume that is significantly less than what’s implied here, but I wish they would have elaborated a little more than that

I'm not going to tell you that you're wrong, but I would be more careful than that.

Infections can be the trigger for auto-immune diseases. We're not sure precisely how, but there seems to be a complex combination of genetic and environmental factors.

Your immune system is very much not playing games, it's in the business of reacting on a hair trigger, and doing more damage to foreign bodies than it does to your own body. It has an intricate system to avoid turning against yourself, but the system can fail.

If a B cell that produces auto-antibodies falls through the cracks, it will not die. You now have the problem of being in a permanent fight against your own immune system, with a variety of unfortunate results.

Now that's a lot of scary outcomes, and thankfully those diseases are uncommon. The system almost always works well. But it's a very complex system with ugly failure modes, so I wouldn't encourage you to poke the beast too much.

>My skill is identifying possible attack vectors, whether or not they've been exploited.

Ok, but EU legal systems (after Brexit) I think are all Napoleonic systems and not common law, furthermore as the 'cookie law' is a directive and not an actual law and is thus supposed to be imposed the same way across all EU lands I don't think this could be as exploitable as it might otherwise be.
> I wonder what's going on in Afghanistan right now, for instance, and is it worse than an illicit Chritmas party or having someone else pay for your wallpaper? Given the amount of coverage by the BBC, obviously not.

News is an entertainment product - the main thing that determines what dominates the agenda is what people find interesting and gets eyeballs, not some abstract measure of "worthiness".

And in addition, it is perfectly OK for the national news of a country to focus on issues of importance to that country (such as matters that relate to the honesty and integrity of the prime minister) rather than Indian national health policies or whatever the worthies think is of most importance.

Not that it is even worthies making this comparison of course - more like pathetic attempts to distract.
There is no magic to make these loans riskless.

These are OVER-collateralized loans.

Like any other collateral backed loan, if the value of the collateral falls to a point where there may be a risk of the collateral value being less than the loan amount, then the borrower must either put up more collateral or their existing collateral is liquidated to pay off the loan, leaving no outstanding balance.

It’s not really much different from a mortgage or another asset-backed loan, except that the borrower must send the collateral to an account controlled by the lender and the lender can instantly liquidate the collateral if the LTV falls below a threshold.

If you think about it, crypto such as Bitcoin or Ethereum are really the most perfect form of capital for a lender to accept as collateral for a loan. Unlike a home mortgage or a car loan the lendor takes full custody of collateral valued
greater than the loan. The crypto assets are volatile but they are marked to market in real-time 24/7. At any time if the value of the collateral falls below som safe threshold, the borrower is notified that their collateral is at risk of liquidation and given the opportunity to add collateral. If the LTV ratio isn’t corrected and the market reduces the value of the collateral further, then the lender can instantly liquidate the collateral and unwind the loan.
1. This is more easily accomplished as a federal program.

2. It is already very easy to write software that compares performance to an index.

Regardless, if the purpose of a DB pension fund is to protect people from their own proclivities, then a federal pay as you go system works better (cheaper, less agency risk). If the purpose is to supplement the amounts from the federal system, then a personal account at a brokerage invested in a low cost index works better.

I am not even sure why Canada invests its pension funds in the private markets. Canada can always issue new Canadian dollars anytime it needs to pay the benefits it has promised if tax receipts are insufficient. If anything, this leads to another perverse incentive of Canada’s government wanting to bail out businesses it has invested in.
I'm pretty pro psychedelics, but you should know it's generally a REALLY bad idea for anyone with a history of psychosis to use them, to the point that I really implore you not to recommend them so casually to someone with such a history. That cohort is at very high risk and the use of psychedelics can really exacerbate the condition and make people less functional.

> And of course your next keystroke is not zero copy. It needs to be sent to the GPU and the texture needs to be updated.

No textures need to be updated. The texture stays in VRAM across each frame, just need to change which texture the character cell points to. That is zero-copy.

If you were to do this with a software rendered terminal, at minimum the software would tell the windowing system which region of the window changed and then copy that region to VRAM. That’s only if the window system supports region updates, if not you’d need to copy the entire window to VRAM each frame. Much slower than just twiddling a pointer to a texture.
