Ironically, I find the popularity of hardware hacks to be a sign of general stagnation, because there were periods of time in the past when they would not give as much boost in performance as a new version of something in a few months to a year. They were typically not worth the time and would be rendered obsolete, but now more and more they are worthwhile.
What's interesting about this is that it doesn't look like it accounts for the expected reduction in deaths due to lockdown -- a lot of people die in car accidents every year, and at least early on in the pandemic, miles traveled was reduced by nearly 90%, and car accidents went way down, and even further down when you consider it was impossible to drive home drunk from a bar.

Which means the excess deaths would be even higher than shown here, at least early on.

EDIT: Looks like I am wrong. Below someone links to a report showing that traffic fatalities actually went up because the people still on the road were more risky. I was basing my statement on estimates made in early 2020.
No one needs to lie. Not replying is an option.
Thanks for the clarification. I know zero about ML and was assessing it based on the text.
Ya, and it just so happens that there is a big overlap in obesity, low income, and those that won't get vaccinated. Which has created a double whammy when it comes to US deaths.
No state or city in the US has any "lockdowns" in effect. Unless you've been living in complete isolation off the grid and re-emerged today, your comment is a classic internet strawman.
This site here seems to have roughly 8kB of scripts, about 250kB for everything.

I'd say that's more impressive than loading the counterpart of multiple novels for mostly the same functionality.
Not the op, but I'm still having a hard time buying this argument that assessment tests "practically" may not be used when Walmart, Home Depot, IBM, and Epic use them, and countless companies required me to fill out their questionable Unicru personality assessments in the 2010s when applying for a summer job. And those are just the big names that folks here might have heard of and that I knew from memory. Clearly this particular decision hasn't been a big barrier to implementing various kinds of pre-employment tests in the US.
Not without some kind of root access. But you can usually find an app that doesn't have that flag and can still decode DRM.

Well it resulted in one of the lowest restrictions on people in any country besides international travel. Giving people freedom to meet people and work is good

Top Remix 6 Most Killer Features
I built Screegle because sharing my screen on Zoom or other video apps wasn’t respecting my privacy, was showing too much, or was forcing me to pick only one window at a time.

So with Screegle we can share any window at any time over a clean background image (or even video now!) without worrying about notifications showing up or showing the wrong window.

Since I also work remotely, I added a recording functionality too so we can record Screegle sessions and send the video mp4 to co workers or students.

I’m looking for suggestions to improve it. There’s also a virtual camera that lets you show your Screegle windows directly in Zoom or Meet without using their screen/window sharing functions

Could somebody actually tell me which 'colonies' they're meaning when people talk of this?

As far as I can tell they're either already trading as much with the UK as they want to be (AUS,NZ), or have a rather one-way interest (India, US).

Could anybody elaborate more on these supposed advantages?
I mean maybe you’re onto something and don’t realize it.

Banning cars would be more akin to totally locking down rather than incentivizing vaccination, masks and other public health measures that aren’t as invasive. Maybe, similarly discouraging car y use and encouraging walking is a good thing.
I'm sure there were more overdoses and suicides due to the lockdowns too.
Right-authoritarian governments with populists strongman executives like Russia and Hungary are completely unequipped to handle anything like this disease.

Cool, great start, but something Yubikey sized would be more practical.
That's a scary compounding factor that I hadn't even considered. Thanks for bringing that up.
Here is a Wikipedia article about the superconducting magnetic anomaly detector they are talking about : https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/SQUID

The quantum part is actually relevant and is what makes it useful. Normal magnetic anomaly detectors rely on classical physics. These ones have an order of magnitude more sensitivity, and if they can be outfitted on a drone for a reasonable price it's game over for submarines.

The idea of quantum radar is of course not what the article says. The idea is that you will use the entanglement state to discriminate between photons sent from the radar, and noise or jamming. If it does work it is pretty huge.
I have an iPhone and I do have my keepass file there too. So yes, presumably, the iOS app that I use could have accessed my keepass file and sent it unencrypted over the network to someone (which would be terrible).

Thanks for the comment/reminder! I'll definitely have to re-consider what I do with regards to the keepass file on my phone.
Also FWIW I too have not used Lastpass for 2-3 years. Login history doesn’t appear to go back that far but I’d estimate it’s at least 2 years since I logged in.
What do you mean not sustainable???

If we limited and regulated car use pretty extremely and stuck with trains, bikes, and walking, we would be half the way there toward a completely sustainable society.

Cars are a major source of the least sustainable aspects of humanity on earth today.
FWIW, I migrated off paid LastPass onto the free BitWarden plan recently and my experience has been much improved. I was a huge LastPass proponent in the beginning and at the time they seemed like the obvious best choice in a field with few options. But they have definitely not been able to keep up with the times and their paid service just isn't even comparable to what is now available for free.
Not mentioned : infections were at record highs just before this lockdown. With a vacrate of 80%+ ( ~ 83% couple of weeks ago ).

Nationwide mandates are oppressive and don’t allow people freedom to choose their own level of acceptable risk. Regional level variations are probably more tolerable allowing people to choose what type of society they want to live in.

> Independent headhunters and recruiters are a valuable resource

I had an experience with an independent recruiter that went so poorly that I haven’t been able to take those kinds of people seriously since.

A few years back, I was recruited to an up-and-coming startup in the healthcare space in a senior role. It was a massive pay increase, meaningful equity, and a company name I was proud to put on my resume.

An independent firm reached out to me about the role and I was definitely interested. One thing I noticed while doing my independent research was that lots of people had very poor Glassdoor reviews of the company, basically comparing it to Theranos in terms of its culture, constant firings, cult-like CEO, etc. I reached out to several former employees to discuss their experience and could not get one to talk to me about working there. Meanwhile, I was hearing from the recruiters that they hired a new exec team and most complaints were not relevant to the current situation there.

I brought the complaints up with the recruiter and the company during my interview process, and they both told me it was just a couple disgruntled former employees trying to make the company look bad. The recruiter offered to put me in touch with others they placed at the company, but I couldn’t view them as objective sources.

I started the gig and it took me all of two weeks to realize the company was in fact firing people constantly and I had been completely lied to by the recruiter and the company.

As much as I want to believe that there are recruiters out there that look out for devs, the reality is that software talent is the product in that relationship and there aren’t a lot of financial incentives to ensure transparency going into these professional relationships. Recruiters get paid when you sign, which creates an inherent conflict of interest when you’re looking to them as a trusted resource.
I appreciate the sources, but the way you presented this is biased.

To make it complete you should also post the total deaths and suicides for 2020.
It's astonishing how bad Netflix subtitles can be. Random example: the music during the intro of the show Suits is Ima Robot - Greenback Boogie. The English Netflix subtitles show the lyrics for the song, but they are obviously incorrect. Weirder is that they are incorrect in a different way every single season. Seemingly the subtitles were created by a different person every season, each of them starting from scratch, each of them having trouble understanding perfectly clear sentences, and nobody bothered to check anyone's work.

Somehow the pirates get it right from the beginning, and consistently across all seasons.
My girlfriend once asked me why I don't use a password manager like LastPass. A week later she got locked out of her LastPass account because she was inadvertently using an enterprise account that one of her clients forced her to use while on a project. And even though she was paying for her own premium LastPass subscription, the support experience had was terrible. Issue was resolved when the client was able to unlock the account for her, but it was a pain because it was during the holidays. I would avoid a password management software because of her experience.

Exactly the same here!!!!

Wow, this is fantastically bad.
It's pretty sustainable on cities witth proper public transport. And I say that living on a city with pretty much subpar public transport, but on which I manage to go everyday just walking, save for a few trips from time to time where I definitely need to move by car (it's a bit under once per week, think 30-40 times a year).
If you banned cigarettes, you'd save many lives, and it's also pretty much sustainable for everybody except the tobacco industry.

I'm not sure which country (NZ?) implemented a law, that everyone born after some year, will not be able to buy cigarettes anymore, so old smokers can still buy them, but kids just turning 18 can't anymore, and never will be able to.
Most of America needs cars. Society would collapse if you just "limited and regulated car use pretty extremely". If there's a solution to that, then let's just do that, and skip the authoritarian part afterward.

So basically destroy rural populations which are also the source of all our food? Unless I’m mistaken in that cities are actually the source of all life sustaining industries.
It was a login that (presumably, from what LastPass is saying) was "successful" in the sense that the attacker had the master password.

The login was blocked because they automatically block any new IPs from logging in until you approve a link that you get via email.
I'm not sure exactly what you mean by "accidents" going way down, but at least in the US, fatalities have gone up. In the US, there were more traffic fatalities in 2020 since 2007.

Electric helicopters taking off and landing in your neighborhood is not the same old NIMBYism which delayed Caltrain electrification for years. There is ample evidence for the negative health effects of persistent noise pollution, and helicopters are the worst offenders of noise pollution.

Perhaps these eVTOL planes will reduce noise to an acceptable levels, however that remains to be seen, and until they have proven they can, then I’ll believe the NIMBYs complaints.
I think

sudo apt-get install X

is faster, stronger, easier than

./configure
make
sudo make install

but that is not true for any other software installation mechanism either CLI or GUI. (e.g. I could go drive to a town an hour away, watch a feature film and come back in the time anything Docker spends downloading irrelevant cruft if I really believed that it was going to make progress the whole time and not get stuck.)

Intel is very slow to roll out new features such as SIMD instructions so most Linux distributions are targeted to machines that are a decade old. If you compile from scratch you can often get a big gain on the latest hardware.
Totally on your world view here. I was around 10 when I came across the Hubble deep field image as a gif. I proceeded to find it on google sky and I just couldn‘t get the mind boggling size of the visible universe into my brain while all of that supposed to be 2000 years old and only happen on earth. It blew my mind. One needed to scroll so hard only to reach that image which again has so many galaxies. And thats my spiritual practice, everything is in the name of nothing, this nothing is everything until entropy destroys the existence of everything.
I just pop my phone on the photo-copier.

There's no data for that because it's a completely fabricated lie. Suicides in 2020 were lower than in 2019 in the U.S.A.

"""The provisional number of
suicides in 2020 (45,855) was 3% lower
than in 2019 (47,511). The provisional
age-adjusted suicide rate was also 3%
lower in 2020 (13.5 per 100,000) than
in 2019 (13.9)"""

Oh, good, that unfolding worked.

The amount of unpacking involved as this thing deploys is insane.

On the data rate thing, satellites usually have a low data rate system with omnidirectional antennas, used for command and positioning. Then they have a high data rate system with directional antennas for whatever it is they do.

(The USAF used to have a strict separation between the two. This reflects the USAF's pilot-oriented mentality. The USAF is pilots, and then everybody else.
The low data rate system belonged to the piloting operation, which used to be in the Blue Cube in Sunnyvale CA and is now at Schriever Space Force Base, formerly Falcon AFB, in Colorado Springs CO. They "drive the bus", managing orbital insertion and station keeping.
The high data rate system belonged to the payload, and once the piloting operation had it turned on and aimed, it was turned over to the agency that owned the payload. Private satellite operators usually don't make that distinction.)
Some sort of pointer tagging system, like 128-bit pointers where the upper word is a unique generation ID, might be the simplest approach to eliminate security problems from use-after-free, but it's going to have some amount of runtime overhead (though new hardware features may help to reduce it).

Alternately, use a GC.

You might as well say, “Well, if we just invented teleporters…”
Most countries in western Europe and many states seem to have less than 10 ℅ excess deaths in 2021. There is also likely to be an error that is not quoted here. Typically such comparisons must be made on 10 year average data and the changes within those years will provide the error which is likely to have variation of 5-10 ℅
They could achieve the same chilling effect on the "I'll just download it by using a chrome extension" crowd by having simple convoluted scheme in the way they retrieve the data. It isn't unseen, downloading them in chunks even is sufficient to throw these people off. Simple xor with a dynamic key with the decoding work done in WASM for more obscurity to throw the common downloader and reverser off would have the same effect without the intrusion into my computing device.

But it is what it is really. Not really disagreeing with you.
The comments on the blog are managed by Disqus. If he wanted to do them without JS, he'd need to build a commenting system all by himself - and that's almost impossible nowadays because of the spam issues.

Not a fair comparison. Years saved should be looked at. Elderly dying from covid is not the same as suicide at 25.
You’re getting downvoted because you appear to be guessing, even though you’re right…suicides and overdoses did indeed go up.
> That's what you're passive-aggressively asking for.

I don't know if you're wording it way because you're doing a bit or you didn't look at my username?

> you know what is a PR

This part doesn't make sense to me.

> and what is a demand for a free work

And this is not a demand for free work.

If I comment on a project that I'm going to keep using an existing product because it has this big entrenched feature base, that's the exact opposite of being demanding and binding myself to a project. It's an acceptance of the status quo. It gives some feedback as to what people find important, but it's not a request to implement half of google docs, and it doesn't make sense to try to invert it into an invitation to submit a PR that implements half of google docs.
TIL FastAPI does not have an API reference. I can't find a roadmap either. That's... wild.
> This is a blanket assertion. Why should useful semantics require generics? Why can't they come with simple fixed data structures?

What do you mean by "fixed data structures"?

> If you can provide a nice counterexample to the example that I gave

I may be missing somehing but I don't understand your example. The idea of a list is that we want it to hold any data, so the API to a list by necessity becomes generic. Unless you cas everything to void*.

---

I have another counterexample from userspace. Our internal APIs all use the same converntions which make working with them predictable and same from any language. An API returns:

{
result: [a list of data],
nextPageToken:
}

Different APIs will of course have different data. Some API will return a list of contracts. Another API will retur a list of media. A third API will... etc.

I had the misfortune of working with these APIs in Go before generics. Welcome to copy-pasting code that deals with this. Or cast from interface{}/void* to proper data in runtime. Any sane language of course lets you write something like GetAllData<T>()
I particularly enjoyed it. It's like listening to a slow train crash, there are just so many wrong moves by so many people it's terrifying.

Also it changed my perception of many of the participants.
I don't think I'd even pay to remove the ads because any OS asking over a hundred dollars per license shouldn't have ads built in in the first place.
Okay, but you said:

"that would require assuming that the statement "Is there a god?" is both coherent, meaningful, and answerable."

What part of this question is incoherent, unmeaningful, and unanswerable, if you are able to understand religion in an objective sense?
This purist talk about how everyone should stick to some system standard or whatever really needs to die. It's not working. Nobody is doing it.

Everyone, literally everyone is running their own thing. Name me big company that doesn't roll their own design system.

Preaching purism really doesn't help anyone, let's just accept reality as it is, and stop chasing some utopian dreams that just won't ever materialize (and if only because it would make a lot of jobs and professions useless, overnight, and there's too much inertia for that to happen).
I see what you mean, five years ago there were still affordable three-bed flats in SW1P and W2, but those days are over.
An initial colony could be supplied by advancing multiple launches with supplies and landers before the first colonists arrive at sunset. They’ll have 88 days to assemble the underground habitats or abort and come back.

Are there any perpetually shaded areas? If so, the 88 day deadline could be extended by as much as we want just by sending supplies in advance.

And having between 4 and 10 times as much sunshine we could even generate some power from the light reflected in the crater/canyon rim.

I think your latter point is actually important. I think that while disastrous for the UK, Brexit will be great for the EU.

The UK was holding back the closer integration (like close military integration) that would make the EU a relevant power.
