This line of thinking is just an extension of everyday thinking of far too many people.

Take nuclear reactors as an example. Some people seem to legitimately think that its possible to eliminate all sources of errors in such an immensely complex system. If there's been an accident, the analysis is generally "we have to add sections in the manual for this specific scenario and we'll be safe", rather than accepting that it's impossible to prevent all errors and that it's merely a question of time before the next anomaly arises.
Yes, it is implemented in the grid invertor. Actually a generation should be synchronised with a grid phase, so it is not working without grid voltage at all.

Downloading might be legal (not sure if there are some clauses, e.g. only for own/private consumption), uploading definitely is not.
Actually, I meant a "honest" protection racket that protects against actual rival gangs. The point is that replacing something bad (malware) with something bad (AV software) isn't always a gain.
The UK is like Sweden, but Denmark (and Finland) are much more homogenous. And Sweden only retains social trust because it was still homogenous 20 years ago, most people don't realize they essentially live in Rio.
Exactly, the biggest “bad guys” nations are now the core west nations: Germany, Japan, Italy. While their victims China, Russia and others are villified.

Sure, but the perceived advantage of stackless coroutines is not faster switching time, but lower peak memory usage. OSs do not run 100s of thousands of tasks as threads, and when they do they use hand written state machines.
Sounds like a legalese process that e.g. github could help out with, make a quick and easy flow to read & accept CLAs.
It was basically sort of like the web but for mobile Java - a whole bunch of not entirely compatible and uniquely buggy implementations, to which adding features was a very slow committee driven process meaning every new feature got reimplemented in 4 different incompatible APIs first.

Additionally at the time the mobile makers were totally in hock to carriers, who usually insisted on having their own app stores with totally developer hostile processes. So to even run on a lot of phones was a huge PITA because you had to get every carrier to sign the "midlet" and they had no easy process for this.

So the issue was not so much Java the tech - Android proved that - but more the model around how it was managed. Android took the basic concept of J2ME, dropped the actual APIs and design-by-committee (triggering the lawsuit with Sun/Oracle in the process), created a robust open source implementation, gave it away for free and invested heavily in their app store tech. And that led to success.
What about adding "echo sleep 0.01 >> ~/.bashrc" to their .bashrc (or whichever shell config file is used)?
Not sure how others do it, but I don't only buy products based on advertisements, but rather by the actual properties the product has.

But it's not like this changes anything legally. Products get worse due to software changes all the time (especially through cloud services shutting down) and as far as I know there haven't been any successful lawsuits about it.

"Woke" is simply the left's word for what the right calls 'Redpilled'. In both subcultures it means 'a recognition of some fundamental truth that does not bring joy'.

Done well, it can be a vehicle for criticising one's own culture in a constructive way. Done poorly, it can be a vehicle for oikophobia and gatekeeping, a means of distinguishing oneself from the naively patriotic proletariate.
Oh, so that’s how I can finally use vim.

(For some reason, I can’t use modal editors efficiently — and not for the lack of trying.)
It's not in microcode, they're just disabling it in a microcode update. Microcode updates aren't replacements for microcode either, they're patches. The vast majority of microcode is in ROM and can never be changed wholesale; updates can just patch in hooks and change certain things, limited by the number of patch slots available. Doing this does not "free up" any microcode. It's purely disabling a feature, there is absolutely nothing to be gained in return.
It's explained in the article.

You update your BIOS to get better DDR5 compatibility, but the new BIOS will also include a microcode update.

"Minneapolis 'Umbrella Man' who sparked AutoZone fire is Hells Angels member"

Don't be surprised that the largest gang in America (law enforcement) supports and is heavily controlled by white supremacists (KKK, Hells Angels, The Executioners, etc... ) , many police deparment whistle blowers and undercover investigators have pointed out this fact over the years.
The same can't happen with Dropbox, because minecraft worlds are NOT stored in ~/Dropbox/ folder. That actually reinforces my point about a separate synced folder being a plus for most users, not a minus.
Aftonbladet seems to have had a short story on it.

But I'm a bit surprised that this is not considered bigger news.
Buses and trains follow set routes. When the last person exits at station A and the next person is waiting at station C, the train itself still needs to get to station C, and it can't skip station B because there's no way of telling if somebody might show up by the time the train gets there.
Modern Java does work this way with bundled runtimes. But it made the transition quite late, indeed.
"Ken sent me"
I just keep all my text files in a git repository and use custom elisp on top of magit to quickly commit all of them, I have a custom go syncronizer that would symlinks the text files around my filesystems and makes sure all my system is sane.

for the binaries stuff, I would use maybe sometime syncthing but that's more a backup thing, i don't usually need all of them available on all my laptops/ws

for real backup i just incrementally dump my btrfs snapshot to a remote USB disk every hour.

works well for me so far,
I find that the biggest hurdle to getting things done is the context switch. Just getting started is so hard, but after I get started I can keep going until the task is done.

So I trick myself and say “I’m not going to do the whole thing tonight, I’m just going to do a single trivial thing.” So I do it. It takes a second. Then I do another. Then something more substantial. And before I know it I’m working in earnest.

For instance, if I have to do a sink full of dishes and clean up a whole dinner, I will say “just one dish”. But after one dish the water is hot, the gloves are on, so why not a second dish? Then a third. Before I know it the dishes are done!

No, because you'll have to do quite a few steps to put an actively used minecraft world in a ~/Dropbox/ folder.
Might be a language thing then. I'm reading through Urban Dictionary and most of them read to me like "I think I know the other person is dishonest or stupid".

Let's take the most popular definition there:

Woke - The act of being very pretentious about how much you care about a social issue

Again, as a non-native English speaker I have to click through "pretentious". The most popular definition:

Behaving in an attention-seeking manner via presenting oneself on the surface as being intelligent, provocative, important, avant-garde, humorous or significant, yet harboring ulterior motives, typically involving some form of personal gratification or material gain (e.g. advancement in social status, career, wealth, etc.).
Note that using this word is often conflated to be a pretentious act in and of itself, as this word is frequently used as a way to easily discredit people, works of art, ideas or statements while simultaneously boosting one's own status.

(btw, as far as I can tell, there's no word or phrase for the same thing in my native language. Which might already start to explain why the whole concept is hard to really understand for me)

So somebody who calls someone else "woke" looks to be, often, trying to discredit the other person, while simultaneously boosting their own status by making the statement that the other person has ulterior motives and does not actually hold the beliefs that they are saying that they hold.

Idk.. it looks like I'm too far from the US culture to really understand this.
When somebody says that they think that gay people should not have equal rights to non-gay people, then I see no reason to assume that they don't actually hold that belief and that they would be pretentious.
When somebody says the opposite - that gay people should have the same rights than non-gay people then again, I see no reason to assume that they don't actually hold that belief and are pretentious.

Nothing about this looks to have anything to do with progressiveness or hypocrisy or insincerity as far as I can tell but for some reason there's a made-up word to tell the other "side" that "I know you are full of shit and you don't actually believe in what you say".
They seem to be coming down a lot - I remember looking a year or two ago and they were above $3000 AUD here, but now I can find some for around $1500 - $2000 (around US$1100 or €950). It's getting down to the point where I could basically justify buying my own one to carry with my first aid kit...
This. Because burning money to prevent competitors accessing shared resources is just anti-competitive.
And here I thought it might've been Intel's way of apologizing after robbing us of performance with the Spectre and Meltdown debacles.
There was no specification about this feature until immediately prior to launch.

When a company announces with years in advance a new product (e.g. Alder Lake), that is the replacement for their previous product (i.e. Rocket Lake & Tiger Lake) and in that series of products the most valuable feature is backward software compatibility and the new product will no longer have this feature, one would expect that the company should publicize vigorously the fact that the replacement product will not match the features of the replaced products.
I discovered this in my early 20s and it has been the key to my rarely if ever dealing with with issues with procrastination. When I think of something I don’t want to do immediately, one of the first things that pops into my head is both how quickly it will get done and how good it will feel to have it done, and so I do it right then and there.

The satisfaction of knocking off something you didn’t want to do is the corollary to the negative feelings holding you back, and it’s the key to establishing a positive feedback loop in place of the painful one you’re experiencing.

> Torrenting, sharing with friends and family is still completely legal in Switzerland.

This is incorrect in regards to torrenting. Torrenting by default distributes content to random strangers, which is crossing the line. Pure downloading from random sources and sharing with friends and family however is perfectly legal.

Also, IIRC this applies to movies and music, but not software.
Another trick that I haven't seen anyone talk about in this thread is visualization. I'll use this whenever I notice the loop, but still don't have the courage to actually stop. I'll pause for a moment, tell myself that I am NOT going to do the thing exactly at this moment, but instead I will just visualize the exact steps needed for when I eventually sit down to do it.

This helps for those situations in which I'm procrastinating due to a realized or unrealized ambiguity of a given task. If I'm slacking because I don't know how to do something, it gives me the questions that I need to go find answers to. Googling around for answers or pinging a coworker is way easier than actually doing the work, and thus I can 'get the ball rolling' so to speak.

Even if I still procrastinate a bit afterwards, the tasks seem much more manageable as I already 'know' what needs to be done, letting ideas stew at this point. Usually after a snack or bathroom break, I'll come back and just crank out the work (or at least start!) because I'm so sick of thinking about how simple that first step actually is, again, because the details are already worked out in my head.

In a literal sense, this is 'work/working', but it never feels like it, and that's part of the key for me to overcome it. It's just thinking, right?
Nvidia is great for Windows.

As soon as you want to use Linux or macOS or Proxmox or anything, prepare for trouble. Its just not a FOSS-friendly company.

Even on the Nvidia Shield TV (a great bang for the buck) they added commercials in the new UI. Though one might attribute that to Google, it is the only Nvidia device I bought past 5 years. And the only one which got a feature downgrade (or upgrade with a feature I don't want/like).

With regards to Intel I remember my 4770k not having a specific feature (IIRC for hardware virtualization) which all non-k series had. And I found that out too late.
I tried Syncthing many years ago and had similar issues. I was going to try it again a few months ago but memory usage and initial scam speed weren't good.

I want to strongly second this. Asperger was a complicated person with a complicated story in a brutal context, but ultimately a sympathetic and insightful man. His story is told in "Neurotribes" which is a thorough history of autism, and highly recommended.
Multicore wasn't a real blocker, JS is single threaded too and everyone is fine with it. OCaml runs circles around Python and Ruby, yet they are more used.
I feel like you have changed the topic, or maybe this was your topic all along and I didn't pick up on the coding. So no, it is not obvious.

As topics, “teachers” is orthogonal to “structural racism”, and I suspect that blending them together will lead to less effective responses to real but separate problems in both areas. I was very much only speaking only to “teachers”.

I'm aware of Brampton and more besides, and I won't insult you by excusing, explaining or “interpreting” racist behaviour or structural racism. You and your family deserve (and are owed), an “average” Ontario school experience largely untainted by them.
Another interesting Z-8000-based machine (and this one was actually produced and sold) is the Olivetti M-20. It's chunky, but I really like it's monolithic design. It says "serious computer" all over it. If anyone has a spare one, my birthday is in March.

According to the article, the reason for the protests is a hike in fuel prices. I'm going now in a tangent, but I wonder how much more of this we are going to see everywhere, specially if governments acted in the best interest of our environment and did everything in their power to prevent people from using fossil fuels.
I think changing his own repo his one thing, but using the repo admin ability to edit another user's post reporting an issue to link to conspiracy theories does feel like an abuse of that ability.

It's even more annoying when you actually submit a patch and the maintainers end up fixing the issue themselves. All that time you spent exploring the project and studying the code to figure out how to do it yourself? Wasted. The people who already know the code and have all the context can fix whatever issue in minutes and in a better way.
I also absolutely love Syncthing. I have been using it to keep my keepass database synced between devices for a few years now, and have had zero issues.
I will not download and play around with the language made by people that still keep fake claims on their websites. If V was more honest, I would myself give it an honest try. It isn't. Some other examples of false claims:

> V functions are pure by default, meaning that their return values are a function of their arguments only, and their evaluation has no side effects (besides I/O).

> This is achieved by a lack of global variables and all function arguments being immutable by default, even when references are passed.

But there is nothing preventing you to create side effects. A function making a side effect isn't pure. For example, Wikipedia [1] says that the return value depending only on input variables is necessary, but you also need no side effects.

The claim about Option and Result types [2] is also a bit weird. It feels closer to Zig's error handling than to regular Option and Result types. An important part of these types is that they can be replaced by user-made types without losing much, while in V they seem to rely a lot on compiler support.

In the comparaison with Go [3], there is a "No GC". On the main page, "Most objects (~90-100%) are freed by V's autofree engine: the compiler inserts necessary free calls automatically during compilation. Remaining small percentage of objects is freed via GC.". "There's also an option to use GC for everything via v -gc boehm.".

This is just the beginning. I don't have any trust in the people behind V and will not rely on them for building software.

The Bitcoin network exists to process transactions. If there are fewer transactions, the per-transaction cost is greater because the network would not exist otherwise – it’s like trying to argue that driving an SUV to work pollutes less because only one of the seats is occupied.
I think there is a limit of the efficiency of a single person. At some point, helping out others to be more efficient is more efficient than doing it all by yourself.

With that said, I don't see anything wrong with stagnating at your peak IC efficiency if that's what makes you happy.

I agree with sibling which says that mentoring is not leadership. Helping out others is not the same as giving them instructions or evaluating performances for example. However I can understand that someone would like none of that.

> Currently it only supports Google login, mostly because I don't trust myself enough to safely manage and store credentials. Many schools are already in the Google ecosystem, so for now it should be enough.

That's senior-level decision making right there!

Storing creds is tough, all your users already have Google accounts, and most of them probably prefer logging in with a click rather than remembering a new set of creds. It also puts a higher barrier of entry for fraud, since new Google accounts require phone number verification.

I'm a SRE so if you need ideas for the hosting/infrastructure side of things, feel free to ask!

Dropbox target a much larger and less technical audience than Syncthing does, hence why Dropbox has UI/workflows that some technical users abhor.

I've lost patience with such products, and instead I tradeoff fewer features for more control. This applies to hardware too.
I don't think parking_lot is a mutex. It is more similar to a futex, i.e. an ephemeral wait queue. You can use it to implement a mutex, but that's just one use case.
Any post that tries to link Trump and geopolitics is suspect. He was in for 4 years and that isn't very long. The only thing Trump is good for in that context is a reminder that there is a big gap between what paid talking heads believe and many voters accept as true.

Also - everything collapses, every world order and every regional power either has collapsed or will collapse. The Roman Empire collapsed with a thousand-year gap between the last breath of the east and west wings. The fact that something is currently collapsing doesn't tell us much except that it hasn't collapsed yet.
Why should the UK-propaganda even have a stance on Kazakhstan? This sound like the usual russian troll approach of "Everyone does everything, so bad is relative" fog grenade.

The tool should be shaped around the team's best way of working.

The problem is that everyone thinks project/backlog organization is the silver bullet to getting things done. It's not. What they don't realize is that too much process or too little process can make or break team's autonomy.

I like GitHub projects. It is simple, Airtable/Notion inspired, and makes it very easy to see a backlog like a spreadsheet. The views are especially helpful for different projects, statuses, and dependencies. The best part about it? It's native to teams who work exclusively in GitHub.

I work on a suite of GitHub OSS repos, and this tool alone looks extremely promising. Even using the beta for a few months now has helped me put everything in one place with many views instead of having to use alternatives like ZenHub. I do everything in the open and need solutions that can be transparent with the very communities I build for.

This is looking good despite the bugs like editing titles in projects beta changes the issue's title on keystroke. It makes it quite easy to quickly create new issues and manage them from a single screen on the web. Big fan so far.

On the contrary, I asked OP because often times when people talk about woke-agendas, they mean "I don't like seeing black or gay people in my movies", so I tend to wonder what they mean when they say woke.
