This tends not to be a "the president will solve it" but rather "the president appoints the people who are heading agencies to solve the problems."

In particular:

> President Biden put forward more nominees in his first year than President Donald Trump and about as many as President George W. Bush and Barack Obama. But it took on average 103 days for the Senate to confirm a Biden nominee, compared with 100 days for Trump, 80 for Obama and just 48 for Bush.

That various departments and agencies are taking longer to get things done shouldn't be surprising when the appointments are either being slow walked or held up.
Nginx manages a ton of connections better and can serve static files very fast. It can then multiplex the dynamic requests into fewer connections to Apache. If you mean why not only use nginx, I would guess that's easier than changing your legacy systems to use nginx (e.g. if you have a ton of htaccess files). It's also possible you got better performance with mod_php although most people seem to claim that php-fpm with nginx is faster.
Cross-laminated timber comes to the rescue. Plus the added benefit of being able to replace concrete, which is a huge bonus for decreasing emissions. And it's already in use.

Probably a reference to primitive types, which are highlighted / represented differently in many IDEs.
>>>Armies of nation states are responsible for the greatest of all human tragedies.

Yes. So why advocate for a return to the pre-nuclear status quo: major powers use their large armies to influence each other, with millions dead. The threat of MAD between the world's powers is why global casualties from warfare have been in steady decline since the end of WW2.

>>>The safest option of avoiding a terrible attack or a major accidents involving these weapons is a total elimination

What is the contingency plan for when every country except ONE agrees, and then the last country, as the only nuclear-armed state, then has free reign to impose its will on the world with now-overwhelming force?
Or that US media is more agressive in pursuing stories like this outside its own country, for a number of reasons.

Was there any news about EMP this time? I thought I read that this was theoretically possible with volcanoes.
20-07 includes non prosecution for trespassing, which seems to be the only crime the DA is willing to either charge or plea out in the majority of these cases.

Presumably because of its inclusion in the directive.
People love to talk all sorts of trash on this kind of stack but it's really quite solid for what it does. If anyone was ever curious what a sizeable codebase in this kind of code would even look like, check out the source code for undeadly.org [1]. Yeah these people may be crazy but they're also OpenBSD developers and we really love to see what we can get away with using nothing other than what's available in the base distribution. I think a lot of what you see being written for production ends up being very similar to this kind of approach, maybe just utilizing rust or golang as the web application backend language if that's what is the more comfortable thing. Nothing but the base system and a single binary, not relying on an entire interpreter stack, sure can be smooth.

There's other examples of this kind of approach, too, writing straight C Common Gateway Interface web applications in public-facing production use - What comes to mind is the version control system web frontend that the people who write wireguard use, cgit [2] - If it's really so crazy then how come the openbsd and wireguard people - presumably better hackers than you - are just out there doing it?

Other places you see C web application interfaces include in embedded devices (SCADA, etc) and even the web interfaces for routers, which unfortunately ARE crazy because check out all the security problems! Good thing people at our favorite good old research operating system have done the whole pledge(2)[3] syscall to try and mitigate things when those applications go awry - understanding this part of the whole stack is probably key to seeing how any of it makes any sense at all in 2022. It sure would be nicer if those programs just crashed instead of opening up wider holes. Maybe we can hope these mitigations and a higher code quality for limited-resource device constraints all become more widespread.

You can capture the CO2 and even separate the C and the O2 without using more energy than was released by the combustion for two reasons:

1. The hydrogen in the fuel remains oxidized.

2. Captured carbon (compressed CO2 gas, solid carbon) is still at a lower energy state than the source fuel (octane, etc.)

> Most people don't want to steal, but many more do because they feel they have to.

That’s sort of the problem here. Different fundamental models of human motivation and behavior. I don’t really have an answer one way or another but I would disagree that most people who steal do it reluctantly and don’t enjoy it. Or, they do it to put food on the table. I have lived in places with pervasive crime. Some of my acquaintances growing up were in and out of jail over various things including including burglaries, assault, and all kinds of horrible things I would rather not mention. A good proportion of them enjoyed the rush and the excitement.

I looked up a few videos of looting it’s almost never produce, food or clothing. But big screen TVs, electronics etc.

There has to be balance between lock everyone up for small amounts of drug use and not referring even a single one of the 100+ arrested looters for prosecution and just saying they are so poor so they have to put food on the table, and train companies can afford it anyway.
In the cause of Naughty Dog, it was Andy Gavin who introduced Lisp and GOAL and was one of the co-founders of Naughty Dog. He came from MIT and was a student of Rodney Brooks.

If someone hasn't seen it, his episode on Ars Technica's War Stories was awesome. He seems to be a hacker's hacker. It's a fascinating story because it's not really how I personally work (internally), so it's fun hearing someone describe just diving in like that.

It was my understanding that Racket wasn't in use anymore at Naughty Dog. It would be cool if there was an update or someone who knows (I know Dan is no longer at Naughty Dog), because unfortunately the tale of Lisps in companies is normally that it eventually gets replaced or set aside (where new stuff is built in something else).
Seems dumb for the competitor with the smallest userbase to charge the most.
If you're talking about Facebook or Instagram, users actually have a lot of control! You can snooze or completely remove other users, groups, and pages. You can ask for "less content like this" and FB used ML to show you less of similar things. You can add keyword filters to the comments sections under your posts. You can block users from commenting or from posting in your group. You can even do all of these things with ads as well, including removing ads from certain categories.

There aren't power user controls like custom regex filters, but that's because the vast majority of users would not use them, and it's not worth the UI complexity and risk that things like that add.
I have very little knowledge of how legal systems work.

Can someone explain what happens when a company as large as this decides to file such a law suit?

Is it such low costs that you might as well just argue whatever you want and see what happens?
Or are there internal teams counter arguing to check validity of such law suit?

The recent scmp report (i.e. info PRC wants to leak) on IR sensor development for hypersonic implies they're considering hypersonic AA to directly engage 5th gen fighters. Previously it was hypersonic drones to intercept 5th gen and engaging with normal AA missiles.

>indistinguishable to strategic ballistic missile
...
>completely useless in war time because they look exactly like launching a nuke and you can't know in advance they're not.

They're useful and will be used because US will necessarily be compelled to adopt second strike posture, knowing PRC will use conventional IR/CBMs, if such capabilities are demonstrated to be credible. Especially if PRC backs up with massive nuclear retaliation (which she's building as we speak).

Reality right now is that every standoff US weapon from tomhawks to other conventional ordnance can all be nuclear tipped and are already indistinguishable from nuclear attacks for US adversaries. There's no reason PRC or any adversary capable of nuclear retaliation should give any major US platforms a benefit of a doubt - Arleigh Burkes, Ohio SSGN, B2/Lancers from AF global strike etc - they're all capable of nuclear delivery. But benefit of a doubt is necessarily extended by merely knowing US has conventional options, that will be used per doctrine, with massive nuclear retaliatory capabilities. They must wait and posture for second strike.

Hence why PRC is now conducting nuke buildup to force US into adopting second strike in response to rapid PRC advanced in conventional capabilities. Current PRC rocket force doctrine is absolutely to saturate US carrier groups with IRBMs. And it looks like eventually this will apply to conventional ICBM/hypersonics, i.e. prompt global strike capabilities once accuracy is sufficient, as per SCMP article on being able to hit "all" critical countries / strike with "strategic depth" so traditional warfare no longer exists. That means hitting CONUS as an option if US ever thinks about hitting PRC soil.
I'd say, it's a broader concept that includes many ethnic groups with similar geographical origins and/or backgrounds and shared ancestries. Not that precise of course and with fuzzy edges...
I think neck strain was a bit of an issue at the beginning, but not any more. Aftermarket prescription lense adapters are critical if you wear glasses. With those, there isn't much eye strain. Not more than staring at a computer all day would cause anyway. Also an upgraded strap. I use the Oculus Elite strap, but I think there are plenty of cheaper and probably better third party options.

For coffee/water I use a closed tumbler with a metal straw and I just reach carefully. Double tap the side of the quest for pass through if you get lost.

The Discord is full of requests for solutions for seeing the keyboard. It has a pretty impressive virtual overlay for the keyboard, but IMO that is an unnecessary handicap. Instead of demanding a skeuomorph, it's much more pleasant to really learn to touch type. It took me about a week to get flawless. I'm even pretty good at the function keys since I started debugging in Vim.
Well, if may offer a view.. your are correct in your second paragraph the aspect that most people miss is that F5 is not only an enterprise product but primary systems (energy/gas/etc) and Telco (3/4/5G). The acquisition of NGINX is to complement that footprint. Just a different view.. be well yeah..
Yes, Eyeo is a dodgy company that misrepresents their product and how they actually really make money from users & advertisers.

As one of the largest ad blockers around they also try and extinguish any potential competition before it has a chance to establish itself.

When I initially released my ad blocker for the iPhone and Mac – Magic Lasso Adblock (https://www.magiclasso.co/) they attempted to stop its distribution through the Apple App Stores.

They sent legal threats directly to myself and then to Apple claiming that they own the term 'adblock' and demanded that my product stop using that term in any marketing or App Store keywords. This went on for months with them constantly pushing less and less plausible evidence for their ownership of the term.

I eventually told their enforcement loonies to stop contacting me and provided evidence to Apple that their claims are baseless (which meant their claims directly to Apple could also be ignored). They eventually stopped but I can see how their tactics could discourage any new entrants in the space.
IMO Ngnix takes advantage of the fact that most of the web workload is I/O bound. It’s tight loop main thread coupled with asynchronous delegation enables it to stay single threaded. It doesn’t spawn new thread per request which means it doesn’t need additional memory to handle new requests.

This is a very good article which goes into details, highly recommended

The article is pretty low effort except for the short optics physiology section there is not much detail. This reddit thread from a couple months ago [1] was more to the point although they contend 5k is where the text gets clear enough however in my experience the Quest2 works fine wirelessly in PCVR mode for getting things done in ImmersedVR or iSpatial.

Input has been the main constraint, but using the Logitech K830, which was specifically integrated by Oculus as a proof of concept, with the latest passthrough hand positioning in Infinite Office mode -- there is no difference to typing at a normal keyboard anymore. Its amazing. The Oculus Web Browser is pushing what you can do with things like PWAs (Miro has one) and support for SaaS tooling like Office 360 for example - so you dont even need the PC.

The experience of working in VR is definitely rough arround the edges today but my expectation is this will improve to the point where XR (VR/AR) is just as normal as sitting at a desk today -- but with the additional benefits of a 3D space made open to imaginative enhancement.

The adversarial judicial system is supposed to restrict that by having the defendant's lawyers challenge the evidence and how it was obtained.

The prosecution and police can't simply use inappropriate evidence. In some cases it's possible (and worth the effort) to do 'parallel construction' by getting a warrant for some other evidence confirming the same thing, but it's not something that can be done at scale without it being obvious.

I wonder how much of a McDonald’s costs are staff. If most of the cost of a cheeseburger is food costs plus stuff like real estate then it might not make sense to replace the people with robots, especially once you account for needing a few humans to manage the place and maintenance (plus accounting for downtime when stuff breaks).
That sounds like a predator or something. Or one of those smaller military surveillance drones that are still very capable (hundreds of miles ranges). I wonder why this wouldn't be cause for an immediate scramble of fighter jets just like a manned military incursion would. Which happens a lot, Russia often crosses NATO territory unannounced with nuclear-capable cold-war bombers likes the Tu-95 Bear. Every few months or so.

Perhaps there was an intercept done but it was kept secret? But the Russian incursions are always widely reported.
Oh I'm not making regard to that: to its goodness or not in that comment. That's you're doing that. I'm just saying what I said there about it, thanks. I hope you'll not misinterpret me.
Now that Mozilla isn't working on Servo anymore, does this mean Servo failed?
In the case of Sony and Naughty Dog, it's my understanding that Naughty Dog serves two purposes. One is that they are a game studio that makes games but the other is that they're a technology development studio that exports common tech for other Sony game studios to make their games with. While I'm on the side of Lisp and C++ makes me itchy, I can understand why that would be a hard sell.

I did improve my Go skills solving all problems in Go, learning many things the hard way, but at end my solutions were way longer and so much less ergonomic than the NumPy & Python-based I saw by the top 100 guys! I mean, come on, Go doesn't even have built-in min(), max(), abs(), and other basics (for ints)! Some of the top developers had their solutions done in a shorter time that I needed to read the overly convoluted and confusing problems. I just didn't appreciate the infantile, and wasteful pseudo-comical style of problem definitions! I've attended any programming contest back in Bulgaria and I can't recall anything that required me to read everything carefully 2-3 times before I get what needs to be done (oh, well, I wasn't 48 back then). I also got fascinated by GitHub Copilot, which actually autocompleted many of those missing basics and surprisingly "guessed" what I was trying to accomplished and offer meaningful productivity boost. I also looked into Zig, but, honestly, I didn't like many of the syntax choices made. Instead, I installed V [0], and will actually try to use it as it fits me better.

IMO the best place to find in-depth documentation of existing technologies is the patent office. A while ago I programmed a way to locate the source of gunfire with microphones and drew a lot of inspiration from GPS patents because I couldn't find anything in-depth on the subject on Google (finding the time and position of the source of a shockwave is basically just inverse GPS multilateration)
The problem is the backronym would be wrong.

Are you sure? GOAL was created by Andy Gavin, a co-founder at Naughty Dog who never worked at ITA to my knowledge.

Edit: I was just randomly watching this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHkk9isDfg4), and Dave Baggett came up. When I searched his name, it does look like he was a co-founder of ITA after leaving Naughty Dog.
The eye strain is what worries me the most. The Wired article dismisses it, but I'm not convinced.
Sounds cool, but Electron is so... buggy. I tried building once and the app was a white blank screen, which was a common problem. If it works alright it uses gobs of memory. Is that something you have found improvements for?
Logically, being characterized at one level doesn't prevent categorization into finer or coarser levels. In reality, there is a finite amount of information that can be conveyed, and the level of characterization is often whatever you lead with. There are important trade offs to be made with fitting in with a larger group vs being characterized as the mixture of traits of said larger group.

Right, by design we desire a fixed emission of coin, regardless of the energy input. Rather than the extra energy going into making more coins (bad thing) it goes into increasing the security of the network — making it very difficult to undo or rewind blocks, delete or reorder transactions or produce empty blocks blocking future transactions. This is a good thing. Bitcoin is the most secure money on the planet.

Efficiency is expressed as hashes/energy, not as coins/energy. As efficiency increases, security increases too.
“Indian” refers to Indians as a whole, especially with respect to their political relationship with the United States. Indians themselves use the term in that context, and it’s the preferred term in, for example, the field of Indian law.

It’s like the term “Asian.” Few people identify as generic “Asian” and it would be incorrect to equate it with a nationality or specific culture. But it does work at a high level to address a group of people who have something in common on a political dimension.

Irreversible transactions
Everyone is happily using public domain software in all jurisdictions. The timezone code used by many (all?) Linux and Unix distributions is public domain.

If you can find a jurisdiction without the explicit concept of the public domain and judges and lawyers that think there is no implicit concept of the public domain and someone who can claim copyright with a straight face to code that explicitly states that the authors relinquish their claim, then I still suspect it would get thrown out of court and the claimant opening themselves to charges of criminal fraud (entrapment and extortion) or abusing the justice system for profit.

In that case I suppose congratulations are in order for winning the lottery.

> I still make more money when I make more money. At that point we’re just arguing over the number.

The number is important because at some point it's no longer worth the extra effort. People can almost always get more money by working more or putting in more effort, and yet it's rare for anyone to dedicate their entire life exclusively to their work. Reducing the reward from work shifts that balance point, even if you're not technically "working for free".

> And I would kinda rather everyone have UBI and healthcare when it what it costs me is “a non-quality of life affecting amount” which is why progressive taxes work.

Since we're talking about taxes here it's less about what you're willing to pay and more about what you're willing to make everyone else pay. If it were just about the cost to you there would be no need to make it compulsory—the government will be happy to accept your donation.
I agree. I think the argument that there is some infringement on constitutionally protected speech is unfounded. The issues to argue over (and context) is complicated enough as it is.
