Judging by the picture quality on many of the older shows and movies, an intern at the studio digitized a big stack of dusty NTSC Betacam tapes into MPEG-2 files with all encoder settings left at default low-bitrate CBR, then uploaded it to Amazon and everywhere else where it got further mangled by re-encoding at various H.264 levels.

... In which case, getchar_unlocked() from POSIX 1993 and later is your friend, when used together with flockfile() / funlockfile(). Or, well, as much of a friend as an explicit locking function can ever be. (Over in Windows land, MSVC used to have a non-threaded static C runtime as well, which doesn’t strike me as a stupid idea for this kind of simple program, but for some reason musl on Linux doesn’t do non-threaded builds.)
And "git" is English slang for similar.

Dura is also an anatomical term for the tissue encasing the brain.
I had it on a VHS circa 2000. It was my favorite movie at the time and I must have watched it 100 times. Definitely had a green tint in that version (I remember being concerned it was my tv and adjusting the colors).
Also from paragraph 2 of the article:

> The initial DVD release had a neutral-warm color palette while the 2008 Blu-ray added a heavy green cast to match the sequels. The Matrix's 2018 UHD Blu-ray release apparently hews closer to how the film looked in theaters with a more purple-blue tint

Interestingly, from a physical perspective there's not much difference between saying "fagm" and saying "fact". But one of those is easy for English speakers and one is impossible.

Companies like Sweetwater do this right. They have “sales engineers” that help you find what you’re looking for over the phone or text message or email. It probably doesn’t scale but as a customer, I don’t care as it saves me so much research time and I consistently get what I’m looking for.
I think Apple and Amazon are the only 2 that won't decline. I'm a little on the fence with Google because of phones and maps, but that's kind of all they have going on.

I'm just one lonely data point but I got really bad myocardia (didn't know what it was at the time but woke up three days after my second shot and it literally felt like my heart was going to explode out of my chest... or like I had a high pressure bag of camp fire smoke in my chest, it burned and hurt).

I got Pfizer each time, was a 34 year old male at the time.

A COPV has about 6% hydrogen by mass. At 33.3 kWh/kg, that’s ~2000 Wh/kg. This is far beyond the theoretical limits of li-ion batteries.

Platinum is not a critical component, only necessary in current PEM fuel cells. Future fuel cells should eventually do away with platinum altogether. As hydrogen is effectively limitless too this is never going to be a resource concern.
On a related note, I genuinely think that Meta/FB will be one of the first companies that goes through a Big Oil kind of a break-up within the next decade. Most likely will involve the de-merger of Instagram/WhatsApp from FB and maybe Oculus. Its just a privacy nightmare at this point.
He addresses the disproval part: he didn't disprove their paper. He stated that just because it's below their threshold for sensitively doesn't mean it's super ultra mega sensitive, it just means that it's highly sensitive. 1.5 Joules is more than you think: a hammer tap could easily be less than that (lift a 100g weight a 1.5 meters off the floor: that's 1.5J of potential energy), however, as he puts it, that's still "sensitive as dicks". As for it blowing up in the mass spectrometer, that can happen if it started to decompose over time, accidental friction, accidental x-ray activation, too much in one spot, etc. I'm sure if he worked with the substance more than once or twice it's possible he'd have a random detonation or two. The paper and this video easily exist cooperatively rather than adversarially, and I think he was more calling out the science popularizers which exaggerated claims about it. In fact, he does nothing but mention things from the paper as being accurate.
The linked software is for self-hosting. In my experience self-hosting is the safest bet. When self-hosting it's of course best to use software packages that automatically get security updates from the distribution. On Debian, for example, urlwatch would be an option.
"The SA article is a complete piece of crap."

Whether everyone agrees with you to the same degree is comparatively unimportant. However, there are several issues that arise from the SciAm article that are of key importance, these are:

1. From what the author, Monica R. McLemore, says in the article it's very clear that she has a political agenda and that by stating it in a forum such as SciAm, then she is acting in a very divisive manner.

2. McLemore is being extremely unfair by deliberately targeting a person's character. 'Shooting the messenger' for espousing or publishing information that has arisen from a person's research has to be about as low as an attack on a person's character can get. Moreover there's intellectual dishonesty in the attack: by assigning a person's character to a person's research work presupposes that one's moral philosophy always goes hand-in-hand with data that's arisen from one's research. This implies that a person's research cannot be separated from one's moral views, which, of course, is nonsense. It's about as stupid as saying that a person has to be a Republican to actually write about Republican philosophy when in fact anyone can do so.

3. An attack on a person's character by equating their moral position with the work that they do without definitive proof is woolly thinking, if this were in fact true then every defense lawyer would actually have to believe his or her client's statement in respect of their innocence.

4. The most disconcerting aspect of this story is the fact that the author is a person who holds a high and responsible position in society. To quote the SciAm article:

"Monica R. McLemore is an associate professor in the Family Health Care Nursing Department and a clinician-scientist at Advancing New Standards in Reproductive Health at the University of California, San Francisco."

As such, the holder of any such a position has a duty of care to ensure that the views that he or she espouses are not only both fair and equitable in respect of all citizens but also they need to ensure that what's said adds to the cohesiveness of society and not the division thereof.

We're a biotech company that creates software, hardware, and chemistry to accelerate humanity's understanding of biology. Recently, we were recognized on The Scientist's Top 10 Innovations List for the fifth consecutive year. In 2021, we were selected for releasing our newest instrument, the Chromium X, which is used for single-cell analysis. Sisi Chen, director of the Single-Cell Profiling and Engineering Center at Caltech, noted that the high-throughput capability of the Chromium X is essential to her research. She uses it to explore how therapeutic compounds influence the human immune system. The system allows her to simultaneously stimulate 1 million immune cells, each with different therapeutics, and track their responses. [0]

Our software team creates products that enable scientists to analyze complex biological data. For example, a scientist may use our software to determine precisely which cell types could be cancerous. We utilize Go, React, Typescript, and Electron to create intuitive visualization and web applications. We've written our data pipelines using the Numpy/Scipy/Pandas stack, and we're making increasing use of Rust [1].

We've always been and continue to be remote-friendly for many roles. We're looking for awesome people at various levels for the following roles: Frontend Engineer, Product Manager, Full-stack Engineer, Backend Engineer, Security Engineer, Embedded Software Engineer, Engineer in Test, and many more.

Same. We are back in the TV bundle channel era, unfortunately.
Facebook is currently ahead, but I wonder how much of that is perception. There is a lot of media about how Facebook is evil, but that is mostly from a pretty small circle of media and political people, that Facebook is naturally in opposition to. Facebook also owns instagram and whatsapp as well. But everyone over 30 I know uses Facebook, heavily. Instagram is also used very heavily. Amazon has threats from other E-commerce sites, lots of bad press, Governmental attacks, and unionization. Google prints money on search and I don't see enough people swapping to Duckduckgo to bring them down.

Amazon is also kept up by AWS, which who knows if one day that is spun off.
I built a similar tool a couple of years ago here: https://github.com/google/git-sync-changes

Both save uncommitted changes in a hidden ref.

Based on the README, the differences seem to be:

1. dura runs as a daemon while git-sync-changes is a one shot execution.

2. dura saves locally, while git-sync-changes syncs with a remote repo.

3. dura only does the save and the restore is manual, whereas git-sync-changes does both steps automatically.

I’m glad to see more people exploring this space. I think there’s a lot of untapped potential in tracking pending changes similarly to how we track committed changes.

Can you believe it?

Yet, these money-grabbing robber barons don't provide Canadians with streaming.

There is a shitty CBC app compatible with Android TV which serves some canned videos and pictures, and a CBC News app for phones that has live news (that will Chromecast).

I say cut the taxpayer funding, or else make them deliver to Canadians the content they are paying for.

In Japan, NHK (rough analog of CBC) has a website where you can watch the actual broadcast. (Not available outside of Japan without a VPN, but that's entirel beside the point.)

Yes in My Backyard
Are you Romanian? Because your comment seems like one of those jokes about aliens seeing humans cooking and then reproducing what the humans are creating, but without the taste, because their monitoring doesn't capture that.

Ceaușescu was the dictator for the entire period you're mentioning, any discussion about Romania in the 70s and 80s implicitly refers to him.

Other than that, Romania's growth was fake from many aspects and almost no Romanian alive at the time will agree with you that the 80s where better for Romania, economically, than the 70s.

Romania's economy was geared towards exporting everything useful, including food, to non competitive markets. Figures were inflated at every level. Vanity projects were taking up half the Romanian economy.

Backyard furnaces 2.0. Make stuff nobody wants or needs, of crap quality, while not feeding people.

And regarding North Korea, it's well documented that Ceaușescu was emulating Kim. But otherwise we were more developed than North Korea since at least the Korean War, so those numbers don't say much. If anything we went down, closer to their level, during the 80s.
Part of my point was that HN is unusually good at keeping discussions civil, which I view as a requirement for productive discussion.

If you know of another forum that has this quality, I'd be grateful for a link. There are large swathes of the Internet I'm ignorant about.
Counting to a googol using 4026 chips
With Phones, using a wide CPU design that runs at a lower clock has been Apple's strategy for quite some time.

For instance, when power leakage became a huge issue at 20nm, Apple was less affected since they ran their clocks so much lower.

>Apple is something of the exception here, with the 20nm A8 proving to be a solid SoC, thanks in part to their wide CPU design allowing them to achieve good performance without using high clockspeeds that would exacerbate the problem.

It is a trend of language that words lose intensity of meaning over time. Perhaps the only reason “fuck” still means anything is that we make it a taboo for children to say.

Amazon is the only one on that list that has actively reached out to me, it's also the only one I'd never interview at given what I've heard about working conditions there. Some places seem to keep everything on fire all the time and have big expectations on engineers personal time to keep the fires from consuming the business, Amazon is like that from what I've heard.

I guess, except that it's centralized. So one can only build "reputation" with that one saas at a time. If I can show I'm a fan of XYZ band, any ticketing service can see that and treat me differently.
Interesting - but, are you saying netflix is using those original 16:9 scans? From all the screenshots I can see it looks like they took a 4:3 source and cropped to 16:9.

Makes me think as well that If netflix had rescanned all the film to preserve the original 16:9, I'm sure they would be have done it in 4K.

edit: it is in 4k, I was wrong.
I remember being turned off by OnDeck because they wanted a hefty "registration fee" and basically took anyone. This seems to be gone now (another bubble indicator? ;)?

Paragraph 9

> Now The Matrix has been an odd fish in terms of releases on home formats, with a reasonably natural tone to its original almost flagship DVD release back in 1999 (it was one of the first titles that many DVD adopters bought), but - years later - a very different look to its 2004 re-release on DVD. Everything in 'The Matrix' suddenly became really green. This green-tinged 'style' carried on to its Blu-ray release in 2008, where things were dialled back a little, but some sequences were still almost monochromatic in their green bent.

Updated my comment to reference a second dvd release.
To be fair, these things are so complex and coming at us nearly non-stop that it's hard to actually process them. If only it were as simple as a giant meteor hurling towards us. Instead we get well intentioned scientific journalism that outlines extremely intricate processes with little actionable information.

My hypothesis is that there's such an overwhelming noise to signal ratio that most of us can't meaningfully process it. Just this week, I've seen this article, grave news of the accelerated melt of the Thwaites glacier, a continued and alarming decline of insect biomass across the globe, more harrowing revelations about the presence of microplastics in every ecological niche...

Frankly, it's mentally exhausting. I have young relatives that I worry about, with apparently no meaningful action that I could take.

I'm curious if you have ideas for what we could possibly do. The status quo seems so unshakable, I fear that all of these "doomer" scenarios are so complex that we'll never meaningfully be able to respond to them.
I think having technical people on staff is really important. That the elected leader has a STEM background? Not important. Leaders should be general purpose coordinators of groups that solve problems. Understanding the psychology of all the participants is as important as solving the specific issue.

In context, a STEM background is someone who has and can actually engineer or science. Writing some code doesn't qualify. Every human on the planet should be able to design an experiment and do basic statistics. I think the bar we have for our fellow human should be much higher than it currently is. The moniker, that person is an "Every (Hu)Man" , should be a badge of honor.
It's been really sad to grow up and watch the cool techie optimism of the 2000's internet get sucked dry by profit motives and left to rot. The change has occurred pretty much entirely within my adult lifetime (I'm only 27 and I still remember when Google was the cool new thing on the internet).

It went from "search engines and the web will usher in a new era of wisdom and democracy" to "useful content is dying at the hands of monetization schemes, and also the internet will be the death of liberal democracy, woe unto us all" in about 15 years.
DACs are often buffered. If you're transporting audio over Ethernet, the packet will contain some number of samples. Those samples have to be buffered. (For example, you might send 128 or 256 samples over Ethernet... obviously, the samples inside the packet are actually getting transmitted as a whole packet, buffered, and then sent to the DAC afterwards.)

On top of that, you can synchronize the DAC clock to the clock recovered from the digital signal. For example, I routinely record data (and monitor) from an S/PDIF link. The standard way this works involves clock recovery with a PLL. That way, you only need a stable clock on the DAC--as long as the digital source remains within tolerances, it's fine. Even though S/PDIF transmits digital audio one sample at a time at a fixed rate, you don't need to worry much about jitter.

We know it works this way because you can configure the gear to use internal or external synchronization. If you try recording S/PDIF with an internal clock, you get clicks and pops.
Excess deaths includes deaths that were directly attributable due to other causes, but may still be indirectly caused by COVID. Suppose I were to break into a dialysis clinic and abscond with half the equipment. If this is an isolated incident, then patients can be sent to other clinics, or dialysis machines brought in. But suppose I were to break into every dialysis clinic and steal half the equipment. In that case, there's no surplus that can be shuffled around, and people would die. The direct cause of death would still be kidney failure, but I would have been the indirect cause.

In the same way, COVID puts pressure on the hospital system as a whole. Nurses who could have been monitoring a post-surgery recovery are instead monitoring ventilators in the COVID wing, or are quarantined after being exposed. The crash cart arrives a little bit slower to a heart attack, because the closest one was already in use. If the available nurses are on longer shifts, that contributes to sleep deprivation, making it easy to miss details that would otherwise have been caught.

This is true across all age groups. As of September, while COVID had 4.6 million direct fatalities, there had been 15 million excess deaths. Determining the final scope of COVID will be a matter of long research, and certainly isn't something that can be resolved in a short internet argument. Dismissing it as "Seems unlikely." when not even comparing between the same same type of measurement seems premature.
