Ah, I see. It looks like you have three similar reasons.

The first is something I guess I don’t do. If I select something that I want to paste somewhere, then I’m going to paste it right away; I already know exactly where it goes.

The second is that searching in applications you use frequently replaces the selection? That’s not how it’s supposed to work. Applications are supposed to claim the primary selection only when the user explicitly selects something, not merely when something is highlighted to make it more visible. Sad to hear that any application gets this one wrong; that’s supposed to be a pretty easy thing to get correct.

The third is about pasting into textboxes. This one is more subtle, but pasting from the primary selection into a textbox is supposed to replace the content of the text box, rather than appending to it. Certainly Firefox does for the urlbar, though to be honest I’m not sure that I’ve never noticed one way or the other if it does for anything else. Most of my text editing is done in Emacs, which doesn’t use textboxes very much, and which has a lot of other ways to quickly enter text without needing a lot of copy and paste.

Thanks for answering; it’s really interesting to see just how different people’s use–cases really are. I find selection to be more convenient because it’s simpler, while you find it to be less convenient because the programs you use aren’t as thoughtful, or because you use selection for other things. I guess we should both be glad that Linux implements both styles!
This came up in another thread on here about the event, but how does this action outwardly appear like anything other than his account being compromised to some kind of moderator?

It seems like access was restored pretty quickly because within hours of the whole thing going down and reading about him being banned, I could see it was already restored.

Anyway, if my account started to sabotage my projects, I’d hope GitHub would suspend it until there was a better understanding of what was going on.
I got vaccinated because I don't want to play Russian roulette again.

I got Covid Original Flavour(tm) before vaccines. I got "lucky"--high fever for a little over 2 weeks, swelling in places that I never knew could swell, and my stamina shot to shit. It's taken me a year to put myself back together.

I went and got both vaccines and a booster, thanks.

I have a relative by marriage who is an anti-vaxxer and is about the same age and about the same healthiness as I was. He got Covid. He played Russian Roulette and lost. He's currently on ECMO and would be DEAD if he hadn't lucked into getting the last ECMO bed for 400 miles. And, when all is said and done, it's going to take probably years of therapy for him to be even a shadow of his former self.

And now we're starting to see that Covid increases the chances of Type-2 diabetes in children. So, the whole "Vaccines have more side-effects in children than Covid" (which was never actually true anyway) now has enough cases opposing it that we have medically valid data.

You can persist in anti-vax as a shibboleth for whatever social group you're in. However, nothing factual was ever on your side, and the evidence continues to mount against you.

The only "good" thing about Omicron is that it is so contagious that it will solve the anti-vax problem by itself. In 60 days, there will be no point in restrictions, anymore.
That ruling only shows that the courts have the right to hear that international case, I'd guess whether the comments were derogatory will take a while longer.

Either way, there are few parallels between moderating a users potentially false comments and correctly labeling a site as a disposable email domain.

2) If US corporate tax rates don’t keep going lower like they have been, that also takes away another lever that has contributed to their persistently strong performance. There seems to be less political and public appetite for more corporate tax cuts.

This does not matter much. The likelihood of taxes going up are very slim. Biden and congress has shown little inclination to want to raise taxes. What matters more is that corporate profits are at record highs.

Major tech companies are generating 30% margins vs. 2-4% GDP and CPI, and that is $ that must go to shareholders regardless, hence higher stock prices (because dividend yields are so low). Also, low interest rates and market dominance. Investors are paying a premium to own shares of companies are are bigger and more dominant than ever...less uncertainty of losing marketshare and hence profits to competitors means higher stock prices and valuations.

How many other people do you know who that didn't happen to? Remember, everyone who got it in 2020 was unvaccinated. And if we're to accept this anecdote, then we also need to accept all of the anecdotes about the vaccine harming people.

> And now we're starting to see that Covid increases the chances of Type-2 diabetes in children.

Really? Last time I heard about that, it was because someone forgot to control for weight or BMI, and doing so made the whole effect disappear.
> What you are going to get is people separating out into 2 camps, those that believe in individuality, and those that believe in more collectivism.

I agree wholeheartedly with this statement, but we're diametrically opposed on how these two groups are allocated. I.e., the people you're labelling as collectivists I are in the other group, and vice versa. People who think GitHub did right are a real me-first bunch, not collectivists.
...Marak didn't force anyone to do anything. He just orchestrated events to temporarily inconvenience those who thoughtlessly parasitized his work without a second thought. I'm amazed people aren't more up in arms about Microsoft locking him out of his own GitHub, or reverting it or something? NPM has always hosted old versions of things, so it was symbolic in that sense.

Microsoft are the ones who flexed power here, not Marak. Marak momentarily caught people who should have known better by surprise. Microsoft abused their privileged position to do self-interested damage control.
I'm way more bullish on big tech than bitcoin. MSFT and Google are always making news highs, bitcoin is 40% off highs.

I have had enough experience with unsubscribe on spam that I have to wonder what your figures are for "working well enough". They don't work enough for me. It is also a well-known assumption that using unsubscribe on a bit of spam only confirms that the sender has found a working address and those sell for more on the spammer's email address market.

I also don't understand why "marketers" want to put stuff in my email inbox or anything else I use to receive real communications that I just don't want.
Another long standing annoyance is those links to other videos that pop up before my current video has ended. It always interferes with the last portion, usually when something important and climactic is being shown. There used to be a way to block these “annotations” but they removed it.
Weren't both X11 and Windows originally vector-based (as in drawn using lines, rects, and fills) UIs, but everyone moved to pixmaps because the X11 protocol didn't support anything remotely SVG-like and client-side drawing was faster?
Nah - apart from the eating he was a happy one. I went to a high school on the island where Thor from the movies grew up. The good teachers were there because they wanted to surf, smoke a bit of dope and not work too much. The teachers that didn't surf we're miserable creatures, bitter and humiliated they'd had to crawl to the ends of the earth to meet the standard for employability.
I believe its "Turn down for what"
It shouldn't be either-A-or-B; there are plenty of families whose day-to-day operation is as a nuclear family, but who have regular (more than once-a-week) contact with extended relatives. I don't think that's what this is describing; an "extended" family here is where the group of people who go to sleep every night and wake up every morning in the same house are more than just mom and dad and the kids.
This story has been going around for a couple weeks. It's illustrative of some of the misunderstandings both the public and those of us in tech have.

Free and Open Source software - of course you are allowed to break it, the insert malicious (or even useful) fixes. The author can do that - but so can anyone else. There's literally no moral or ethical problem with what Marak did.

The confusion is that, using github is nothing to do with "Free and Open Source". Centralized package managers like node.js are not FOSS.

You can do whatever you want from a copyright stance - but you can't necessarily expect publish it on someone else's platform or force others to use it. Their platform - their rules. Marak's "own personal" account is shown to, well be not really his own. Yawn - you thought micro$oft would be different?

Freedom does include the "right" to be a dick, but the way that works is we've also got the right to fork, shun, banish, AND ignore you and take over "your" published works (which are not really "yours" are they?)
> So what is right wing discourse in India? How would I distinguish it? Not to be disrespectful, I just would like to know since I have such a large number of Indian friends.

I'm not very familiar with it, but I understand a big component is "Hindu nationalism," which seeks to turn India into an exclusively Hindu nation. That's resulted resulted in attacks and official harassment against minority Muslims and Christians.

A couple weeks ago the NY Times had an article on it: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/12/22/world/asia/india-christia...
This reminds me of when they introduced the autoplay when scrolling on the mobile app. I'm fine with getting an audio-free preview, assuming I'm not on mobile data, but they originally started kicking the videos they'd preview into your history. I had a moderately well trained profile that kept my junk to a minimum but boy-oh-boy, all these "useless" (as in no value to me) YT shorts started invading my recommendations because of the feedback loop it gave itself.

I think I either finally found the option to not, or they reverted the change that put them into your history. Or maybe it's still happening. I've also noticed while scrolling on mobile (android) app, I found myself seeking the video preview, instead of scrolling up, because they enabled the ability to scrub these previews and my scrolling digit would often just land on the 5 pixel tall scrollbar element. Weird choices. Am a premium subscriber - I like to tailor my account to videos I want and take the time to deny suggestions and describe why in the hopes I get recommended less TikTok > YouTube repost junk.. did a pretty good job until they messed with it.
BTC is highly correlated with the S&P 500 to the negative and not to the upside. A good hedge shorting BTC and going long S&P 500.
Indeed, because they are productive businesses with revenues, cash flows, assets and most importantly, growth. Folks point to GOOG growing from $800/share 5 years ago to $2800/share today (3.5X roughly) as a sign of inflation, when of course their price to sales ratio has remained roughly constant (some delta for lower interest rates, higher leverage, cyclical trends, etc) and their revenues have grown and continue to grow exponentially. Up almost 3X since 2017. [1]

Damp? Then it's a drying problem. I'll push on one button and check again 1h later. And I'll figure a way to double the drying time so that it doesn't happen again. So what if it's not as time-efficient as a separate drier? I don't care how long it takes during my sleep!

The absolute worst case of 1 button push is still worth the convenience of not having to move damp clothes.
The article actually points out to the fact that colour is not dependent on the Planck’s Law: “So, for an extremely hot blackbody, the spectrum of light we can actually see with our eyes is governed by the Rayleigh–Jeans law. This law says the color doesn’t depend on the temperature: only the brightness does!”

But then the Rayleigh-Jeans Law has been shown to be incorrect, see Ultraviolet Catastrophe.

No, they value their time more than re-writing a known algorithm/pattern.

I am also not a lawyer, but this is what I found for NY and would be surprised if it doesn't apply in most states and many other countries too:

The ARM chips were brilliant and definitely the most pleasant of the RISC chips to handwrite for, particularly with a nice assembler that handles the quirks of dealing with constants for you.

While the 68k ISA was a dead-end, that's mostly because Motorola was all-in on PowerPC; AFAIK there's no fundamental reason they couldn't have pulled an Intel and thrown transistors at it until it could keep up despite the decode complexity.

Companies don't seem to treat it like an important document. I can't tell you how many times an interviewer seemed to be reading my resume for the very first time during the interview itself...
Agreed that it’s a safe thing to say, but there’s nothing stopping an OS from putting in the work to do that, and therefore allow them to have a single vector-based UI for Low and Hi DPI screens.

Ambernics seem to be very high build quality. I got the RG280v myself after some research. It's not as powerful (so it can't play every PS1 game at full frame rate) and does not have analog sticks.

But it is very small and I think that along with save states and standby helps it be more of a pick up and play toy for short bursts, more so than my 3DS or vita.
That... while admittedly convenient, I dare say, is not quite how those words are used. Morals, (standards by which one judges wrong or right, and which are generally shared within a culture) are the subject of the study of the field we call "Ethics".

Though in your defense, language is organically morphing, linguistics descriptive moreso than prescriptive, and it is not an uncommon way of seeing those two terms used.

Fabric softener is just oil, which is very much the opposite of what you want your towels coated with, as their main purpose is to absorb water.
As an aside, I never thought "begging the question" is used incorrectly because it is easy to tell whether or not someone is referring to the fallacy based on the context. If the meaning can be understood, then that's what matters.
I find it funny, how software, bugs, and possibly malicious intents are considered way differently than the same thing in practically any other industry.

You buy a Toyota, they screw up the floormats, causing a potentially dangerous situation, millions of cars recalled, issue fixed. Volkswagen knows about an intentional 'screwup' (the exhaust cheating), they get caught, class actions, people return cars, get monetary compensation, etc.

You buy an Intel, after Intel knows about a screwup... whoops... here's a software fix that cripples your cpus performance. Whoops, didnt fix everything, disable hyperthreading. Money back? Nope. Any other kind of compensation? Nope.

Same with software.. they put an EULA there, and they're somehow not responsible for anything anymore.

Here, you might lose a functionality that made you buy that computer in the first place, and "whoops".
That's not really a "universal format", though. That's an "English language format". Actually, it's an "American format" since I see it specifies "organization" instead of "organisation".

An earlier article from techrepublic written in 2001: https://www.techrepublic.com/article/egoless-programming-the...

This is the earliest google hit for "Ten Commandments for egoless programming".

Curiously, the author, Lamont Adams, does not explicitly state that the commandments are from the book. Maybe "I present The (Almost) Ten Commandments for egoless programming" means that it's a summary by Adams?
That's a good point, and maybe it's not well defined what the default legality is under a null (or unwritten/uncodified/implicit) constitution, but my instinct is that illegality requires someone to enforce it, whereas legality doesn't, so legality is a more natural default.
> No, it wasn't. It was Github's corner of the internet and then it was Microsoft's. If he just wanted a place to publish his personal projects, he could have put them on a personal, self-hosted website.

Exactly. Marak's defenders are quick to argue that he had every right to do what he did based on the repo's license. It's inconsistent to then blame GitHub for suspending him from their platform.
The reason they run on a GPU isn’t spite. It’s because the work for neural net based ML is inherently dependent on vast amounts of independent floating point operations.

CPUs tend to have very few FPUs per core, so you max out a modern systems CPUs idealised throughput at maybe 40-80 concurrent streams. On top of that the FPUs on a CPU are generally require to perform fully compliant ieee754 arithmetic at at least 32bit of precision.

Modern GPUs can have that number of FPUs per hardware thread and then have a few hundred of those hardware threads. Each of those GPU FPUs are also faster as they can both elide some elements of ieee754, and operate at lower precision (fp16) to get even more performance.

So you could read the paper, and implement it on a CPU and the very best that you, or anyone, could do would be literal orders of magnitude slower than the GPU implementation.

That’s why you don’t see them doing it on a CPU, let alone in Python.
Yep.

I had an Amiga and learnt to code in Basic on it. But anything beyond that was so much harder than it is today.

Sure, there was a GNU C-Compiler for the Amiga, but in the 1980s people didn't know about those things because so few people had internet access.

Today if you're a bright kid and want to learn coding there are so many resources and free languages.

Of course the distractions are much better too really.
You can rent the GPU from Google Colab. (It's actually more like $15k than $1k, which makes you wonder why Colab is so cheap.)

Why everything's written in Python I couldn't tell you.
The existing fabs (TSMC, Samsung, GF etc and possibly even Intel under their new strategy) would probably make the chips you designed, if you pay for enough volume that is.
