> moving all filesystem operations out of the kernel

Well yeah, that’s exactly what FUSE + user namespaces does to solve this problem on Linux.

Of course normal filesystems don’t do this because it would be way too slow if the kernel can’t share data structures with the file system.

> To me it feels analogous to an academic who writes on history of math without being able to prove or understand theorems.

You're suggesting that in order to study the history of something, you also need to be a practitioner of it? So for example, a professor of military history needs to have combat experience? An art history teacher needs to be an artist?
If you say so, but you're not convincing the rest of us.
Changing it to operate on &[u8; 5] instead of &str knocks about 60% off the runtime.
There are orcas in captivity in San Diego I think?

I watched a few videos. They are obviously fairly smart, their interaction with people and each other is thoughtful. At some moments, you really tend to think "there is an almost-human intelligence locked in a very nonhuman body, what could they achieve if they had versatile hands like we do"?
What is your point?

1. I responded to the strongest possible interpretation based on what was said.

2. How is that irrelevant?

If, for whatever reason, your goal is to conceal conflict or negatives in general, I suggest you pick on someone else.

There's also all the trikes, which may be legally motorcycles, but are bigger and heavier.

And old federally approved vehicles which are about as unsafe as anything.

Even as recently as the mid 90s, economy cars were being made with absolutely no side impact protection in places.
You described multiple layers of security. Removing dependencies and stripping down code is the same: another layer of security.
That’s an interesting definition of fair.

An interview is not a fairness competition. They are rarely fair and subjective. The end goal of any interview is to enter into a contract which exchanges money for time. The setting of an interview is an informational asymmetric paradigm. Your one sided fairness won’t make the process fair.

You may still want to keep letting your interviewer know that you solved the question before. However, this doesn’t make the process fair. It’s a story that you’re probably telling yourself to make it feel better ;)
> Any system of policing that results in entire professions and swathes of hobbyists being considered and treated as enemies of the state is essentially the same level of injustice as the witch trials of old and shows our species has not improved all that much.

It's much worse now. Now data is collected on every last person in the US indiscriminately so we're all under constant investigation and being treated like enemies of the state. With detailed records of every person and who they associate with the state is free to pick and choose who to target and can easily find incriminating evidence against anyone they decide has become inconvenient for them. Inquisitors tormenting "witches" couldn't dream of having so much power to abuse.
Not totally on topic, but can someone explain why switched mode power supplies don't seem to have any type of inrush current limiting?

Often when I turn on power right after a power loss, the circuit breaker immediately trips. I assume it's because all those power supplies have such a big inrush current that they overload the circuit. All these devices use less than an amp in total on average, but the inrush current is enough to immediately trip a 13A circuit breaker.
They might! But few seem very interested in others.
It's really not that easy. There's a lot of considerations to make. Which rack size, model you want. Finding someone who will ship that brick to you. Not trivial
On the face of it it's a terrible idea. Adding complexity, BT, to a construction workers table saw. I mean, you can't just add BT to every expensive tool to begin with. This will cause more problems than it solves. It'd be much simpler to simply remove items from display that are prone and leave just empty boxes. The look but don't touch approach kinda like they already do in a lot of places.
Really it's a just a lazy attempt at theft deterrence. Considering HD likes to buy in bulk and so receives and then sells a generally inferior product (simple to do), makes perfect sense.
The only people who could be making any serious of cryptocurrency for international money transfer is organized crime and money launderers.

Sending remittance payments in cryptocurrency does not make sense for people who are sending their hard earned dollars back to their home country to support their impoverished families. The risk exposure to exchange rate fluctuations, and risk of loss of funds in transit (due to fraud, hacking, losing a crypto wallet, sending money to the wrong wallet, etc), the fees associated with cryptocurrency transfers, and the extremely slow transfer times, all makes cryptocurrency a totally inappropriate product for the demographic that you are suggesting be targeted. You are basically suggesting that crypto bros should get rich off of selling a product to poor people that will only make them poorer. It's disturbing. This is exactly the kind of thing that makes me agree with title of this post.

Fortunately, most people have other options available for international remittance payments. For example, you can now transfer money to people using Visa in over 80 countries, all you need is their Visa card number, and the transfer time is 30 minutes or less for Visa debit. All the major retail banks have similar services, and there are plenty of money transfer apps (including a Western Union app), none of which depend on "blockchain technology."
I think there’s a train of thought in western (and particularly Americanized society) to see everything as some form of gender grouping when it’s not.

I’ve also seen people who are overly prescriptive and “liberal” with gender terms being offended on behalf of other cultures. Like people being angry about calling Thai ladyboys “ladyboys” and not “women”, when basically every ladyboy self-identifies as a ladyboy.

Most people don’t go around thinking “I do X so that means I must be B gender.” But that’s increasingly common in western society, especially among progressives, and it’s wild, to be frank.
This calculation is fatally flawed. Meat processors are extremely efficient in producing calories from unusable material in any environment.
For example a reindeer eats basically moss, wild mushrooms and gras and can grow to 60 to 80 kg in a year.
They can occupy unfarmable land.

Goats can be easily raised in mild desert, where there is no way to efficiently farm anything else.

There other even more efficient protein processors, like fish, who don't even require farmable land.

There are various types of wild chicken that can be held a forrests. They eat various insects and are much more tasty because of it.

Most high end pigs are exclusively fed by acorn and the like to aquire an astonishing well defined taste. You can not eat acorns directly, and even if you process them into oblivion, they can not compete with bacon.

We waste 70% of our produce, but it can be easily put into pigs as meat processors. We can also extract the fat first and put it through insects first as a protein processor. This can then be fed to meat processors and produce something delicious.

Ever heard of free range gras fed cows in the Alps? The land is basically unfarmable for anything else. These cows are super delicious.

The vegan diet requires a lot of different materials shipped from all over the world to meet a sufficient nutritional baseline. Due to climate shifts and wate consumptions, Farmland for such specialized nutritions of high value becomes more and more rare. Sure we can easily reach our calorie intake by producing a ton of highly processed starch, with a minimum of farmable land, but we would start to severely reverse Flynn's effect because of it.
I'm no swift wizard but I gave it a run. I was able to build a simple app with ease, but AppCode still requires XCode to be installed on the machine since it uses the same toolchain (Example: Simulator is used).
I'm curious if you still see this working well these days, or what techniques you use to make it work well. I've historically found those types of pages quite useless when we're in a time that anyone can throw up a page to try to validate vaporware and no one wants to give out emails.

You could compare to Samoa’s “fa'afafine”. Gender non-conformance exists in most cultures. The western analysis of gender non-conformance results in what we call “trans”, but other cultures have had, and continue to have, different approaches.
Fair enough, the energy usage is an order of magnitude higher (but other proof of stake cryptos with fewer validators do run on a much leaner network, though I'm not saying this is necessarily a good thing)

From your own link though, with the current usage of the Solana network, a transaction consumes about as much energy as a google search. Not exactly something worth drawing out the energy pitchforks over.
Lecturing on “historical mathematics” without being able to follow a mathematicians papers seems dubious to me.

I am old enough to recall RAD, and young enough to have seen a few of these low/no code solutions come and go.

Don't get me wrong. I love them as a coder. Once I get the hang of them, I can bang out powerful stuff in a few minutes.

The problem is (IMO) to get to that level, you have to already be a coder to some extent. I strongly suspect this stated success story had a ton of upskilling help from MSFT, if not hand-holding.

I would not bet on a non-coder coming fresh to these platforms and building something useful with no other context. In their current state they are likely to be (very powerful) lazy programmer tools.

Until there is some paradigm shift I do not see the "Citizen Developer" becoming a practical reality. A field tech who crimps ethernet all day is going to have to learn some programmer skills to make a power app that pulls data from an API, parses the JSON and then does something useful with it.
Except most livestock eat soy and other cereals, that are specially grown for them. Forests are still being razed to grow food for livestock.
Most of the food grown on earth is used to feed livestock.

> I don't think he has anything to do with the actual political body responsible for interpretating the Finnish constitution [4] - he's certainly not listed as a member.

The term "anything" is not quite accurate, based on just a quick Google it does seem like Martin Scheinin has been the author of some expert opinions on a variety of topics as taken into consideration by the Perustuslakivaliokunta. But "the constitution of Finland is currently interpreted by [...] Martin Scheinin" is a fairly misleading way of stating this - the Perustuslakivaliokunta does the interpretation.

Re the "a former board member of Finnish Communist party" part, this also has a grain of truth to it, but quoting the quoted official police report [1] (published by an news site explicitly affiliated with the political party associated with the defendant in this case), while they were indeed a member of the communist part committee in the 1980's, they have since explicitly disavowed this and changed their stance.

> They just selected new Minister of Social Services, who was most vile pro-soviet communist in the 1970s.

While this also has a grain of truth to it related to Aki Linden's very early political career as a student [2] (published by a news media associated with a competing political party), I would consider this excessive hyperbole. Finnish politics today are not the same as they were in the 1970s, even if some of the politicians have grown up during those years.

Fracking is a complicated problem: there’s both the mechanical effect and the chemials added there; there’s the dynamic between dependancies on foreign dictators and local harm… A lot of what has been done falls within the tamer side of oil company playbook (seed disent at local assembly in Texas, rather than fund a genocide on Nigeria) but it’s still plenty reprehensible.

One aspect of fracking that I want to know more about is geothermal: no need for chemicals, renewable, under-explored for now. It could be worst because it’s usually deeper, or it could help a lot. Experts mention there has been progress on earthquakes…

Then again, saying that means oil companies will frack for natural gas, claim it’s for geothermal research and leave the whell untapped when the price goes down.
IMO that’s a lost cause. The wiki says it was released on 2011 and got its last iOS update in 2019 after being discontinued in 2014. 8 years of support is ridiculously long compared to what most phone mfgs provide. Not to mention that the battery becomes significantly weaker after 2 years and the average American replaces their phone every 3 years.
So to return to my question, would you apply this criteria to all historical courses? That the lecturer must have firsthand practitioner knowledge of the field? How would this work for, say, ancient history?
Furthermore, as a role, it was largely the result of barbaric cultural norms, and trying to reframe it as a "third gender" is ethically bereft.

In societies where women are treated as valuable familial property, normalized abuse of male children and adolescents is also often prevalent.

The same article could be written about Afghanistan's "dancing boys"; they have unique social positions, rules, hairstyles, and forms of dress, wearing clothes "similar to those worn by unmarried young women".

We rightfully recognize it as sexual slavery and child prostitution, not a third gender.
It’s been a while but IIRC as long as there’s JS it can be gotten implicitly by probing and comparing dimensions of elements and viewport on the page.

this was last yearand it continues. i have taught people to use launchers on android like evie that lets you hide apps. that saves you a lot of roadside quick grief. same for using password protected "gallery" like simple gallery to keep stuff behind a password. a thorough check will defeat all this but saves you in the field as you can be randomly picked.

whatsapp/signal/telegram as i said is more difficult, even clubhouse because since your phone is already public, the police do join groups, public or private using any means, lets say by surveillance, by getting access from company side or "borrowing" a phone from a member. then they just get a list of names and go knocking on doors. if the number was not there, it would have been much more difficult.
I tried using talonvoice but the recognition engine failed to understad lot of words. I then searched for pronunciation of those words on google and tolonvoice detected them correctly. In the end i learned to pronounce the words in american english so that talonvoice can understand them ;-) .Not what i was hoping for, i wanted to teach computer to recognize my voice not the other way around.

> We will never be able to find out how many people specifically died of Covid, and how many died of a viral pneumonia, thanks to the changes in death reporting guidelines that I linked.

What do you think causes viral pneumonia? If you get in a car crash and bleed out and die, they put both "massive hemorrhage" and "vehicle accident" on your death certificate. If you die of covid-induced viral pneumonia, they put both on your death certificate, because the covid is what caused the pneumonia. You're trying to draw a distinction where there isn't one. Deaths from covid-induced viral pneumonia are deaths from covid, in exactly the same way that deaths from car-crash induced massive bleeding are deaths from a car crash.

> I find it absurd to believe that flu "went away" - do you have any evidence for that?

See https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/burden/faq.htm#anchor_16336269..., notably the heading "Are there other metrics that can be used to compare the 2020-2021 flu season with past seasons?", which shows a table. That table compares the 2019 and 2020 seasons. Essentially they tested around the same number of specimens and the incidence of influenza was 1000x lower.

This is probably the most accurate datapoint, other things match up (such as reported hospitalizations also being ~100x lower than the year prior) but those are more prone to accidental misclassification of flu-as-covid. You can't really screw up a test in the same way. But generally speaking, they were low enough that the CDC couldn't actually calculate the likely impact, it was too low to make reasonable predictions about. This year it's higher, but still 10x less than a normal year.

(the reason for this is also straightforward: covid-19 variants are generally more contagious than the flu, so mask and social-distancing policies that are somewhat effective at reducing covid transmission are vastly more effective at reducing influenza transmission)

Tor users are reading your blog, what’s to worry about?

My hunch is that it’s not explicitly provided to the website by the browser, but there are ways to measure what the zoom level is using JavaScript on the page.

One could use element.getBoundingClientRect and similar APIs to measure what size certain elements are rendered at and compare that with their default size for instance.

The resulting zoom level can then be used as a signal for fingerprinting.
It’s also far more consistent. The ü of Pinyin only has umlauts with l because lü and lu are both valid syllables. That the u of qu and ju is actually ü, and the u of chu and zhu is u is confusing, to say nothing of yong/-iong. In Zhuyin you have discrete ㄨ u and ㄩ ü, and yong doesn’t masquerade is a rare vowel, it’s just ㄩㄥ。

Because that's another part that adds to the BOM cost and assembly cost.

SMPSes all have input stages that effectively directly rectify the incoming mains to provide the SMPS internal bus voltage. This is also a great way to basically design an inrush current simulator (diode(s) + big capacitor).

Adding stuff like active PFC correction in your common wall-wart is a non-starter. Those things are already massively cost-optimized.
