instead of dreaming of immortality, get off this dumb ass site and do something meaningful with your waning youth! and who wants to live forever in this hellscape anyways? just more of the same hollow experience.
That's because it is
I see what you're saying. Roosevelt was an odd person, and that lead him to do many things that I think were instrumental to his greatness. As for policy for the US, was a progressive and all about moving forward. Physically speaking, he had the jitters and could not keep still. Moving and being on a horse were normal for him.

I think the statue was made by a largely colonial and white-dominated society, but I think it can help the inquisitive mind realize that Roosevelt's progressive nature came from his unique life experiences. How does a white man born into privilege and money become a leader for the working class and nature preservation? It's through his experiences, and we should all discuss them.

Addendum: this image of Roosevelt at Harvard is often used when discussing his inability to sit still https://i.imgur.com/qPO2H74.jpg. He can't wait for the picture to be done so he can go back to wrestling or whatever. He was constantly moving, and in my opinion he would not have become a noteworthy person had he not put himself in situations where he came into contact with people of different social status or races.
Sounds like that would be an excellent resource for me to learn about services that - now that they're being retired - I could wish I knew about a few years earlier...
Maybe "active server" wasn't the best term, but he's obviously talking about a server that does more than just serve static files off a disk.
Rust code in unsafe blocks has lots of similar issues with fuzziness around aliasing rules:

Apple integrates it into their network of phones, such that they can reliably track someone everywhere they go. I don't think other market players are capable of that.
The problem is that this doesn't mean anything, at least in terms of the C programming language. You say "When integers overflow, they do that and nothing else," but there is no definition of signed integer overflow, so there is no "that" for them to do. That is what it means for something to be undefined behavior. You have some definition in your mind, which might happen to match what some versions of some compilers do at some optimization levels — but that isn't actually the definition, because there isn't one.
> So, if the agent can manage to move your house for $2 million rather than $1 million, why shouldn't they get a larger reward?

Indeed, for the seller this makes sense and the agent's and seller's incentives are aligned. But there's a nasty externality created where real estate agents contribute to a constant upward pressure on housing prices. This eventually helps make housing unaffordable.
Gratuitous subsidies from the US government.

Also this is a great move in my eyes. Intel's HQ is on the West Coast and I imagine that they lose out on at least some portion of East Coast talent as a result. Hopefully this allows them to have the best of both worlds.
I'm in the same boat. I have no idea what to think. Maybe somehow some of us are still getting it free? Or somehow they forgot to email us and we're suddenly going to lose access?
The number you come up with in that way is at least guaranteed to not be divisible by 2 or 7. Obviously that doesn't mean it's prime but it definitely helps your odds.
Most of the time, if someone is old and dies in their sleep, then no one goes looking for an autopsy.

The spread of cancer can be really dramatic after it metastasizes so you can go from looking just a bit unwell, to dead in a few months.

And even if cancer is present, and an autopsy is done… will it get listed as cause of death when there are other conditions present that don’t need lab reports to verify them?
Outlook(.com) has "Focused Inbox" which does the same kind of tricks watching which types of content you interact with regularly and only surfacing those until you want to go read your "All Messages" tab. (my recollection of the tab names may only be approximate)
Intel said the same thing for Arizona as well. Initial $20B investment which could expand to $100B. So they are building it in two places. I wonder why they dont keep it all in Arizona? ( May be Tax Break, but I have no idea how Tax Break works in US )

And if you include their (expected) expansion in EUR, Intel is layering the foundation for Foundry Services. Compared to its half assed Custom Foundry in 2012/2013 with little to zero CapEx increase. Foundry Services 2.0 is very real.

Note: Investor Notes from ASML are also interesting, suggesting Intel may be ahead in terms of High-NA EUV orders. Initial shipment expected in 2023.
I've signed and returned almost everything requiring a signature for years this way, you can even have multiple signatures (helpful when you need spouse to sign something too...) in Preview to speed up dealing with these kind of tasks. I've never once been asked to sign it with a pen instead, even for relatively complex transactions like houses/cars.

Because Preview lets you draw the signature using the TrackPad and a finger, I've had no difficulty making a very convincing replica of my actual signature in Preview.

While the linked tool may "look" more convincing with fake photocopy marks etc, for just signatures its not been necessary to go beyond Preview for me ever. In the US so much business is conducted on paperfree platforms like DocuSign etc that I don't think many people even notice the fact the signature is digital anymore, given platforms like DocuSign do more or less the same thing.
You don't need much infra because of how difficulty adjustments work... consistently less hashpower -> it becomes easier to mine
Reminds me of 2 B R 0 2 B by Kurt Vonnegut, just the opposite since they had a quota and no one could be born unless someone died:

"Thank you, sir," said the hostess. "Your city thanks you; your country thanks you; your planet thanks you. But the deepest thanks of all is from all of the future generations."

I thought those were thought to be autoimmune issues from the person's body learning to treat neurons as a threat? Or is that a separate thing? (Or outright discredited?)
You do realize that healthy, young people who get sick can spread it to more vulnerable people, right?
Thanks. On projects where we know we can work with people we have, we do. But sometimes the requirements in terms of skills and aesthetics are different. Also, discovering local professionals seems to be just as hard.
People have been trying to “cure cancer” for a while, and though there is some success, we have many more cure for mice, no?

However, I have not heard of even a 10 year old lab mouse that has the health of a young mouse. Isn’t that a bad sign we can’t even slow aging (beyond fractional amounts) in a mouse?
The grandparent referenced Wayland-only distros, so I assumed your comment was about Xwayland. But your point is that there aren't any Wayland-only distros?
That happens, but it's orthogonal to the point you're replying to. In other words, Efficient markets and social safety nets are not intrinsically antagonistic or incompatible, we can have both.

To me, the unspoken and often unconscious nature of the "stick" of vagrancy and homelessness is revealed clearly when people ask, "But who will pick up the garbage?" when you're talking about things like a "post-scarcity" or "abundance-based" society. The clear implication is that without the hell of homelessness there are needful jobs that we couldn't otherwise force people to do.
Perhaps John Martin thought he was doing Charles Bukowski a favor with his educated corrections but I find them atrocious. The publishing world is rife with this type editing work. The film world is replete with changes that butcher the original work and intent of the original creator. When watching a movie look for the director's cut if multiple cuts exist.
What's the thing with the Penises in the readme and example pdf? Is this a joke?
If you spend $6 billion a year for 15 years, that's $90 billion which is almost the same as $100 billion. Even better is if you spend less than that but attribute other costs to it over the years, so that you get lots of tax breaks for bringing jobs to the area.
It's land.

This plant is being built in a rural community right outside of Columbus.
Couldn't find much info on the process size in the Reuters article, but the Intel press release[0] says this:

" “The Ohio factories are designed for the ‘Angstrom era,’ with support for Intel’s most advanced process technologies, including Intel 18A."

This[1] doesn't give a transistor density for 18A, but the 20A transistor density is greater than the TMSC 3nm, fwiw.

Time to unload domains I was keeping around just because of G Suite free tier.

My co-founder wants to invest his own money but is limiting us
hi there, so i just need some quick opinion.

my co-founder is a very good performance marketer and makes a good six figure monthly income, and we are working on this new project that can be very big and is an amazing idea in my opinion.

I'm currently getting a 'salary' to manage some devs and designers and i hate it that everything is coming out of his pocket, and i'd much rather find investors so that we can scale and make it happen quickly.

I am trying to get the most done in a cheaper way possible because i came in, he already spent 5 figures on something that was completely thrown away since it was useless.

What would you guys recommend me? i even mentioned that i got friends who would easily invest 500k+ in 8-12% however his reply are 'no way this is my baby' and things of such.

right now he is trying to get a domain purchased for less than 10k, and i was like, dude if we got an investment we could have this domain already for 15k and we good. so domain, me not hiring more people, all this stuff it feels like we are limiting ourselves, or perhaps i should say fuck it and care less of his money. Is just that i know he wants to save money as well, and he is also a friend.

anyways, thanks in advance for any replies. hope all you guys are kicking ass this year as well ;)
If you have Docker running locally, it does a local build and pushes to our registry. If you don't have docker running locally, it launches Docker on our infrastructure, sends it the context, and does a remote build.

You can control this with "fly deploy --remote-only" and "fly deploy --local-only". Don't use both, it might cause a paradox.
If we'd all just cleaned up diets and got in shape, Covid wouldn't have been such a big deal.

You can do lots, such as diet and exercise, to live better and longer, but nobody does. We want a magic pill.
The correct solution to that problem is allowing those businesses to default. Not attempt to universally prevent wage increases.
If it's not dry husks but full grain, they're mostly water by weight anyway, so you get almost the same heat storage but different other properties (no leaks, slower dispersal of heat).

Using atomic instructions is still generally considered lockless with the idea that since the lock is at the instruction level and thus progress can still be guaranteed it is "lockless". If this is true in practice depends on a whole host of factors.

I do not doubt majority of cases a mutex is faster/more appropriate. However the key there is looking at what m.lockslow() or unlockSlow() does which is called on lock contention. They become spinlocks that are not entirely dissimilar to my implementation.

The idea is that a lockless algorithm is trading a worse best case i.e m.lockSlow is not called for a better worse case. Again if this is true in this exact case, I am not sure as I have not benchmarked it against a naive mutex based ringbuffer.
But why keep them if they are going to be doing useless work? In the hopes they get bored and move internally to different project?
What is the "proper" name for these? Last time I looked for foot warmers all I got was electric bootstie things, or hotplates for foot. So I got a small radiant heater instead.

Though I guess a microwavable grain bag on a normal footrest would also work.
Using `let` carries the risk of increasing the cognitive load required to understand why a test is failing or passing if it's not used carefully.

- they bring example execution order into play, especially with nested contexts and nested `let`s shadowing other above.

- they invite DRYing up test code, making it really easy to couple unrelated tests together and hard to understand tests in isolation.

- the corollary to the above is creating a brittle test suite. (in any case if DRY is a footgun in production code, it's doubly so in test code.)

- they require you to divert your attention from the examples to see what the states of your test objects are going to be.

These pitfalls can be avoided if, for example, you favor building up your test object graphs inside your examples.

(@r-s That's not the same thing though, they're talking about the eagerly evaluated version of `let`.)
Well, it's a $20 billion investment that "could grow to $100 billion". And either way it's going to be spread out over several years.
TBH, the research produced from unrelated moonshots help out in many different areas.
Thanks for sharing this.

I'm using a relatively simple setup (Ubuntu 21.10 on wayland, single hiDPI tablet display - no secondary gpu, no second monitor) and was frustrated to see Zoom screensharing only show the upper right quarter of the screen (presumably due to not accounting for hidpi) recently.

This said, it generally works fine, and am thankful Zoom at least exists on Linux.

"If you're stuck using Zoom [...] we can work to pry our organizations and loved ones away from the hapless engineering at Zoom."

I disagree with this sentiment. Zoom has been a huge enabler with it's setup to minimize video/audio latency compared to the other solutions I've seen when faciliating a global audience that doesn't necessarily have fast internet access.
I have always been told that, if a program contains UB, then the computer is justified in doing anything at all. This would naturally imply I am required to avoid any UB.

Do you disagree with this?
The initial investment is only 20B, and spending that money won't hurt their market cap because it's shifting money into new assets, which would be considered part of their valuation.
We have a pretty enormous body of work that was used to set safe field exposure limits for RF. No one seems to be making a rational argument why that work isnt relevent.

Is Israel's fourth vaccine dose a lifesaver or a liability?
> You can cast literally any optimization into this shape

Tell me how these use UB: integer constant folding, unused load removal, optimal use of GP registers to minimize stack spilling

>sane assumptions

"sane" here is doing a lot of work. Assuming overflow won't happen is not a sane assumption, assuming some other thread won't randomly write into your stack memory is.
> Though I don't really agree with your second para. If users actually cared, at scale - vs. reacting like Pavlov's dogs to corporate marketing & such - then the nastier corporations would have to change or die. Note what happened to the "American" car companies, back when they were selling un-reliable gas guzzlers, and Americans decided that buying reliable Japanese econo-cars was the smart way to fight back.

So the solution is to wait for another for-profit company to be slightly better, migrate en masse, and hope the new one isn't as nasty as the old one. This is what people did when migrating to gmail (so much free space ! so much speed ! so much cool !) and look where we are now. Same with Apple, Facebook, and others. It's the perpetual myth that competition keeps bad actors in check - but it assumes that starting a competitor and gaining users is so easy that anyone can do it if they don't like the current offer. It's wishful thinking at best, and still doesn't give any guarantees to the user.
Lots of long term debt, like any other capital project. The $100B number is purely speculative, if the project grows over 50 years; they can build the first functional fab for $10B.

> I bet, even a floor sweeper at an Intel fab gets more.

A floor sweeper delivering max 1 particle per m^2.
Sure.

And I'm sure Starlink will be ponying the money for that.

Or wait to deploy their satellites until that process is completed.
This post was my first introduction to it too. Searching for "git.io" on github.com, including the quotes, returns a number of repositories using git.io links -- "2M+" if their search is to be believed.
Columbus is pretty nice tbh.
According to page 40 of the survey linked in [1] two weeks ago, 4 times as many American teenagers write checks vs using Google Pay. Going all in on blockchain makes it into a less-bad joke than it already is.

Even kernels only interact with memory in reasonably predictable ways. I think they could all be hidden behind such abstractions, BUT it will make the language a lot more complex.
> I'd imagine most people would want a pretty significant pay raise to move to somewhere like Ohio

Cost of living is low relative to the west coast and high relative to a lot of places in Asia, so it really depends on who you're talking about.
Same! I can only assume it's some kind of rolling announcement and they haven't gotten to us yet.
> Chronic cannabis use has also been correlated with increased depression scores over time.

As someone diagnosed with depression long before ever partaking in cannabis, this doesn’t surprise me at all. People with depression seek relief, and cannabis can provide that to an extent.
Design work doesn't need to be done close to the fab. Intel seems to be effectively splitting into two companies -- a fab company and a design company.

I don't think there are two worlds, either, unless you think that LA, SF and Seattle also constitute worlds unto themselves.
This is true for any language. An operating system can be written in Java plus some amount of assembler.
18A is consider as 1.8nm in TSMC terms.
You’re still talking a networked system which needs to be internet-accessible. Servers, bandwidth, storage, and operators are not free and that means someone has to see some value to running them.
What got me started was probably this from "The Thought Emporium", and other videos on his channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J3FcbFqSoQY (obvious don't try this at home disclaimer).

What I'm reading right now is "Molecular Biology of the Cell" — it's a dense textbook and I'm taking my time, so only about two chapters in, but I love how it focuses on a lot of fundamental principles and occasionally points out astonishing facts.

There's also this series which might be a nice, casual primer: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3EED4C1D684D3ADF

James Somers also lists some other books in his post I linked to above, might be worth checking out.
Cloud Flare's model is to give you "unlimited" bandwidth with restrictions on how you can use it. If you do any kind of volume you quickly get a call from a sales person who wants to sell you enterprise. And then you end up paying a relatively high per-GB price as one big enterprise contract.

They're reasonably transparent about this, and I think it's fair. It's just not how I prefer to buy services.

At no point will we call you up and try to get you to spend more money to keep doing what you're already doing.
Looking at it from an engineering perspective it's a pretty dumb problem to go after. Coming mostly from my experience with minification of electronics.

E.g. the problems you get at 150nm are almost the same you'd get at 140nm or close but going down to 22nm is a whole different story. The effects that you could skim over before begin to matter in a critical way forming a sort of butterfly effect of ridiculous complexity.

So I think they'll be able to push it to let's say 120 years. Then after that something that you did 110 years ago, e.g. jumping too much in the bed will be the thing that leads you to develop a certain condition in your 120s. This is of course cascading so your related conditions contribute too even if you've dealt with them. Also we're not talking electronics here, but the human body so the baseline complexity is much much higher. And we're not even counting in *meaningful life* years.

AND with that being said I wouldn't take the economist way too seriously. They have had all sorts of Chicken Little style articles before so who knows what they are actually after.
A user has to go out of their way to flash an OS too, I'm not sure I buy the argument that open architecture is going to surprise people who also know how to flash an OS to a very new and unsupported device. No one is trivially flashing different OSes to pinephone and thus they'd need a good deal of domain knowledge to even achieve this goal.

Effectively that means no one is flashing an OS to the pinephone, getting it to work but somehow is ignorant to the fact that pinephone has a battery and that battery could present danger if handled improperly.

It seems like a safety measure that increases complexity which could potentially decrease safety just as likely as it is to increase safety.
Spare me the "embraced unquestioningly by the vast majority of people because of flimsy weak reasons"

There were hundreds of engineers at Apple that worked on AirTags. Not a single one of them stood up and said "No". Not a single one of them went to the press and screamed about it before the launch. Not a single one said that Cook and his high up lackeys and their wives, husbands, girlfriends, boyfriends, whoever they have one night stands with, their children should be forced to be carrying publicly accessible airtags just to ensure that they still think they still think it is a great idea when then and their their wives, husbands, girlfriends, boyfriends, whoever they have one night stands with, their children are the targets. Oh no, the enlightened technorati prefers $$$ just like Joe who knows exactly nothing about what this can be used for.
To live a few years longer, at most, and you might still get unlucky.

There is no magic. Our bodies are machines, and one day we’ll figure out how to repair them. That day might not be today, but I will never object to anyone working to bring it closer.
