I disagree. You want TRUE to be almost always 1. First, if TRUE is almost always 0, the underlying problem will be detected too quickly. Second, this will increase the chance that any seemingly irrelevant change will cause the code to work correctly, making any effort to isolate the bug a frustrating exercise.
It’s one click to get to your Dropbox folder though, what’s changed there? Besides I just have some symlinks to point at it and I never think about manually going there again. I dunno if I’m just already on the top tier of subscriptions but I get zero upsell
or notifications after it’s installed and configured. I’d certainly love it if everything was off by default but it’s not really any hardship to go through the preferences.

Obviously the moment it stops just sitting there backing up my files and keeping them in sync across my devices I’d be bothered, but whatever they’re trying to force on people hasn’t really registered with me in a decade of use.
Even if a reviewers test suite does benefit from AVX512, it's unlikely that their Alder Lake reviews would actually be swung by it because AVX512 was always disabled in the standard configuration with all of the CPU cores enabled. Enabling AVX512 required disabling the efficiency cores altogether, and running with just the performance cores.

It might have mattered with the lower end Alder Lake parts that only have performance cores, but those haven't been released or reviewed yet.
I remember ART from 25 years ago, sounded very promising even if I didn't fully understand at the time (nor now, but not revisited).

Obviously back-propagation based NN have become very popular (even got a rebrand as Deep Learning), how has ART changed in the last 25 years, is there any interesting results using ART instead of DL?
It's also strange that the author discards everything prior to 1989 with "Well, that was just the West." To the extent that small-l liberalism is crumbling, it's largely from the inside in Western democracies; foreign policy doesn't just spring into being from empty space.

I think what he meant is that 2+2=17 is at least right in the "domain of knowledge", that is in arithmetics, the answer should be something that represents a number.

I'll argue it. :) If you take the 7 and lower the top line, and take the 1 and make is smaller and place it on top of the line to the left, you have a 4.
Kotlin is pretty popular on the server side too, and Kotlin (the same compiler) generates JVM bytecode for both mobile and server in the same way because Android very much has a JVM.

This is very interesting, thanks for sharing. I had been noodling on the concept of zero downtime schema changes in postgres as well, and recently started https://github.com/shayonj/pg-online-schema-change. Its inspired by pg_repack and pt-online-schema-change (mysql).

I will give this a spin! Kudos
It's called an opinion, and don't worry -- it's harmless and won't hurt anyone else.
Doesn't sound like a terrible situation as a one-off considering you seem fairly happy there. Trust me. Learn and move on.

Couldn't agree more with everything you have written.
Third party launchers commonly used for modpacks, the first party dedicated server, changing the settings on the first party launcher are all ways you can put your saves in the Dropbox folder
I really wanted to love syncthing a lot, I loved the idea, the interface, everything. But I would always get a number of errors on some files for whatever reason that I would have to then manually fix and sometimes I couldn't even do that. But it has been a few years, so maybe it's time to try again...
There was a news outlet around in the last few years called the knife of Aristotle which always seemed a little off to me. I did some research into it and found out the senior editor and many of the board were associated with NXIVM.

This didn’t affect affect the veracity of their articles, which I found were well written, but the association of their company with unsavoury people should cause all but the most naive and callow to ask WHAT their agenda is.

Similarly, this article is extremely pompous, faux-Nietzschean and comes directly from a media outlet owned by self proclaimed nationalists who are apparently also quite unsavoury. This should cause you concern and you should ask for what purpose such bare-faced propaganda is being pushed.

I hear a common criticism of Notion is it can be quite slow.

Having both a knowledge base and project management tool combined is tricky.

Obsidian is a popular tool for Personal Knowledge Management (PKM) and with the dataview and kanban plugins can be utilised for project management as well... while that would work functionally, it has a learning curve.

If you were interest in separate tools I might suggest Obsidian for PKM and something like Airtable for project management. Perhaps then letting some of the more technical teams dabble in the task management features of Obsidian.
I do not get your example. The same applied to bridges, cars, airplanes, trains, space crafts, hydro electric plants, skyscrapers, ...

When building complex things anomalies will happen which means we should follow good engineering practices and add extra safety systems.

No, I have been iterating on different hardware for 5 years, while developing the idea in my head.

The real challenge is the physical limits and the scalability problem (radio range, bandwidth, electricity use, longevity and disc space) .

I have a working prototype for most parts so I know the project is doable, but to what extent it can successfully replace legacy systems without them faceplanting on their own is another question.

I'll check out your mentions, but I doubt they can be applied to radio.
I was wondering how Synching finds another computer by the generated ID. Is there some central server or is it done using some kind of P2P swarm?

Good example. It’s like buying a car and finding out it has a nice radio that was not advertised. After a few months the car dealership sends someone to break into the car and rip it off. Fair enough since it wasn’t advertised, right?
I was on the path to a PIP at one company. They put me on the team of a manager that had recommended against hiring me. He gave me impossible tasks and actively subverted my success. It was pure hell.

When I finally got to the point where I was failing to meet the goals, I got dragged down into a recorded video chat with my boss and his boss. They pulled out a job description I’d never seen and outlined point by point how I was failing.

When I put on the PIP, I went straight to HR. I complained about how I had been completely screwed, was super pissed, and suggested they pay me to resign. I’d only been there about 5 months, so the best I could get was 30 days severance.

I left, interviewed like crazy, and has a job within 30 days that paid 25% more.

Anyway, my smartphone has 1000x2000 resolution on a 6" display. The text looks perfect.

They can make very high resolution displays with very efficient energy consumption.

Feel free not to need it but my DSLR and my smartphone both take 4k and higher resolution pictures for years.

Yes I want such a display on my 14" laptop.

I do like the MacBook pro screen and it's much better than 1080p. True.

> According to 2021 figures from Statistics Denmark, 86% of Denmark's population of over 5,840,045 was of Danish descent, defined as having at least one parent who was born in Denmark and has Danish citizenship.

> The most recent Census in 2011 highlights that in England and Wales, 80 per cent of the population were white British
> from 2001 to 2011, the percentage of the population of England and Wales that was White British decreased from 87.4% to 80.5%

And I imagine that white British population has gone down in the past 10 years.

Denmark is one of the most homogeneous country in Europe.

But to support your claim, Italy is even more homogeneous than Denmark, around ~91% of the population is "Italian" and yet we can't even agree that southerners and northerners are the same people.

I think that in Denmark a small population living in highly dense cities with high homogeneity helps.
The best thing about Syncthing is that it does not require accounts!

With iCloud and Dropbox (and SaaS in general), everything is linked to your user account. They assume that each computer is used by exactly one user.

But that just doesn't match my reality! At home we have a shared computer in the living room, and at work we have build servers shared by multiple people.

I really don't want to sign in with my personal Apple ID or Dropbox account on a shared computer.

With Syncthing that doesn't matter. I can just sync a single folder, and syncthing doesn't care who that folder belongs to and doesn't require granting access to unrelated folders that happen to belong to the same user.
Given the prank scripts I wrote in the past to teach people to lock their machines, I would expect far ... far worse.

> minecraft worlds are NOT stored in ~/Dropbox/ folder.

They certainly can be. They can be stored wherever you like, either if you are using a modding/hacking launcher (both are very popular for non-technical players, e.g. kids who aren't programmers) or if you are running a minecraft server (the vanilla server jar runs wherever you decide to put it, and doing this is not exactly an esoteric feat; again, nontechnical kids do it.)
They don't share or resell anything. It's in the link I provided.

I'm sure their credit card partners request some protects to only be advertised to people in a certain income range, so it makes sense. They probably also use your income to populate the "your odds of approval" portion on their ads.

>their targeted ads are not very good… it’s kinda sad.

I think this is because they are advertising to the "everyman" who isn't very familiar with financial products.
Anyone can do CPR and used an AED. If there's a doctor around let him do it, but if not, it's up to you. Make sure you are ready for it. Take a course if you get the chance, but if not, just read up on the basics of doing CPR and be aware that the AED will talk you through it and you are allowed an encouraged to use it.
I wouldnt call it hacking. If you can find or backup the bios image for your motherboard, you can replace the microcode in it and reflash. Bios images are modular and the microcode is a replacable component.
> Direct opposite of what?

Hollywood films allegedly being "woke propaganda", which was the claim which started this "what do you mean by woke?" subthread. Films which glorify guns are categorically not examples of Hollywood anti-gun propaganda; if they are any sort of propaganda at all, as opposed to just stuff that sells, they are clearly very non-'woke' pro-gun propaganda.

> I don't think it's necessarily an example of that although for some people perhaps it is. But the fact that Hollywood has excluded such people from such roles and then they take a specific role that was developed by a white man and put a black woman into it "because it's time", and make a big noise about how wonderful they are for doing such a thing is near the epitome of insincerity and hypocrisy in my opinion. I don't have a problem with them deviating from a checklist of skin color, genitalia, and sexual preferences for traditional roles like this (are all the previous 007s the same height, same hair color, same eye color?), I have a problem with them endlessly going on about how wonderful they are, how all those other people are racist and sexist, for us only to find out that hey it's not the redneck from West Virginia who has been writing and producing and acting in these exclusionary Bond movies all these years. Turns out it was Hollywood all along. And the "fix" they congratulate themselves for is not to actually put effort into develop characters and roles and stories that different people have the opportunity to make their own and different audiences can build a following with. They just do the cheap "this character is now a black woman" thing. I realize not everybody sees it that way, but that's my opinion and I don't see how it's invalid or based on bigotry

Do I think Hollywood not casting certain people was a Hollywood decision? Yes. Do I think they deserve massive congratulations for casting Lashana Lynch? No. And if you want to argue the black 007 character wasn't actually that great or big a deal, fine. I'd largely agree with you on both points.

But for many years prior to Lashana Lynch being cast, there were people insisting that the idea of a black 007 was "woke propaganda or "political correctness gone mad" that should be opposed. I think it's something of a heroic stretch to suggest that their real objection of the anti-'woke' crowd to the casting of a black 007 was that Hollywood ought to have done it much earlier.

I use ProtonVPN myself and am quite happy with it. Lots of countries to choose from, in-built ad- and tracking-blocker and SecureCores which route you through multiple VPN nodes instead of one.

Disclaimer: I don't work at Proton and I have no idea if they actually do care about privacy, they at least say it.
Tony Stark is a "next level" rich scientist, engineer/inventor, and ladies man. His IT related sides are incidental at best.

The only recent and decent "IT guy" series was Mr. Robot and the differences from any other field are obvious. The main "IT guy"-character is presented as socially dysfunctional. The supporting IT-people are tiny little gears turning in their cubicles.

Military - always fighting in the harshest condition, against the toughest enemies, saving the world.

Lawyers - good looking people, living a lavish lifestyle in corner offices of New York skyscrapers, having the cool monologues that wow the courtroom.

Doctors - brilliant but otherwise normal people facing very difficult decisions every day, making brilliant decisions to save life after life, and dealing with loss.

Spies - absolutely superhuman skills and knowledge, constantly capable of turning the tide of any way with a single person concentrated effort. (The more you go towards the "military/spy" side of things, the more likely it becomes about superhumans.)

IT focused movies/characters are probably just not attractive to the wider audience. Or at least nobody really proved that they can be. So even in Mr. Robot didn't focus on the hacking as much as on the larger plot. It simply made a very realistic point of that hacking.
If only we'd harness all this creative energy for good, humanity would have transcended to a higher plane of existence.
Do both E and P cores handle avx instructions or are some instructions specific to p-cores? In that case, how does a processor with heterogeneous cores deal with processes (or, how does the OS/driver do it in automatic mode when affinity isn’t guided)?
Bi-directional sync is notoriously difficult to get right. See for example the paper "Mysteries of Dropbox" or the contents of any iCloud users address book. I use Unison which I trust (based on their peer-reviewed publications) and has a good UI to resolve conflicts. It isn't clear to me how Syncthing deals with conflicts or problems.
In the 70s/80s already we had a lot of great black actors roles: Apollo Creed, Winston Zeddemore, George Martin, "B.A.", all of Eddie Murphy films and Danny Glover...
I don't understand the willingness to give up on the idea so readily. Human nature is extremely malleable, we have many creative options for reducing accumulation of power, and even a delegate anarchist system would be an improvement over representative democracy and capitalism, because the power flows upwards from the people as democracy is supposed to enable, and moving from capitalism to collective ownership would enable greater individual freedom, reduced alienation, moral economics etc.
Just a quick note to say I learned more about the backstory of this post from 4 comments on HN than trying to run down the rabbit holes of that Twitter thread.
Thanks for that.

Summary from what I can tell:
Faker.js is a JavaScript tool for generating realistic test data.
Marak is the developer of said tool.
He hosts a public version of it on a personal, public GitHub account repository.
For some reason he updated the README of this repo to include links to some conspiracy threads on Reddit.
Microsoft, owner of GitHub, has suspended his GitHub account. No one seems to know why and whether or how it relates to this action.
Various people have opinions and suggestions about this.

That's like arguing Photoshop is too complicated compared to MS Paint, because both can resize and crop images.

If all you want to do is syncing folders across devices, use a tool that does just that. Just to emphasize how this is relevant, here's what Dropbox says about what it is [0].

> What is Dropbox?

> Dropbox is a place where all your team’s content comes together.

There's nothing in that very first sentence of their own description of the product that suggests syncing folders across devices as a use case.

Just because you can do that, too, doesn't mean it's the primary use case.
Dropbox sees their product as a solution for collaborating across teams.

But that's only one side, so let's look at the "Personal Use"-section [1]:

> Back up your big ideas, your best memories and your family traditions.

And again, syncing folders across devices isn't mentioned - they see Dropbox as a centralised backup solution.

> Centralise your storage, declutter your life

So they tell the user exactly how they see their product and the laborious installation process is a consequence of that.

So while you see a product for syncing across devices, the product is advertised as a collaboration solution or a centralised storage for backup and device-independent global access.

That's not me claiming this either, this is straight from the horse's mouth and what users are told.

Why are you calling me these names? Who am I calling up hate or rage against?

I answered a question about the definition of the word as it was being used. Obviously the definition is making you very angry, but I'm just the messenger here I did not make the post that used the word in the first place, and I didn't make up the definition.
Some UK war movies fall into the "wars really suck" category - an obvious example being The Cruel Sea based on the novel by Nicholas Monsarrat who served in Royal Navy during the Battle of the Atlantic:

"This is a story of the Battle of the Atlantic, the story of the ocean, two ships, and a handful of men. The men are the heroes; the heroines the ships. The only villain is the sea, the cruel sea that man has made more cruel."
The Core 2 Quad Q8200 was what did it for me. I had intended to build a system to play with virtual machines, only to find after I built it up that the Q8200 didn't have VT-x - something that was NOT noted in the store display.

I put it in an Intel-branded motherboard as well, and that turned out to be one of the few motherboards I've had that failed prematurely.

Since then, the only Intels I've bought since then have been used ThinkPads.
> MY NAME IS BEING USED IN A PHISHING ATTACK.

I wonder if that's been effective. I suppose the targets are students at Princeton so once repeated enough, on his web page and elsewhere, it'll make using his name less profitable.
Nobody’s making OP question their reality according to OP’s story. It just seems that OP was completely unaware of the manager’s opinion and now he became aware of it.

There’s nothing nefarious in that, happens all the time.
That doesn't argue that Dropbox won't also ruin actively updated folders. You're now talking about Minecraft configuration which is orthogonal to your original point.
Because a net result is the total after summing positive and negative contributions.
The base issue with these is - besides the initial cost - is the maintenance.

An unused (hopefully) defibrillator needs to be periodically checked for battery levels and (I believe) some sort of diagnostics run to be certain that when/if needed it will be efficient.

Like with fire extinguishers or other periodical checks, most probably this must be done by someone qualified/specialized, which may represent a non trivial cost, I wouldn't be surprised if it was something in the 200-400 Euro/year or something like that, and probably every n (5-8?) years you would need to replace the device with a new one.

Besides, there is an issue (in non-restricted access placements) about theft and vandalism.
All US Firefox users, some Linux distros, Cloudflare (and maybe other) VPN users have it by default. You can also enable it on Windows 10/11 or Chrome.

Your router doesn't need to support it, one of the complaints from business/school admins or even just people trying to run pihole network wide is that DoH bypasses network level DNS setup
Start looking for a new job ASAP! Don’t get too emotionally attached to the actual work. I know it sucks, but the situation is not going to get better, only worse and based on what you said you’re working in a toxic environment.
PIA ownership has made many question them. I personally tried Mullvad for about a year but found the speeds on it were terrible. PIA gives me line speed (400/40) no problem. Personally I trust no VPN regardless what HN thinks, so I set my expectations and risk accordingly.
